MEMORANDUM
TO: Keith Kornelis, Public Works Director
FROM: Robert C. Springer, Building Official �S
DATE: February 9, 1995
SUBJECT: Educational Instruction Seminar
The classes I have requested in this week long seminar covers areas in electrical
inspection, building department administration, advanced plans examination, field
inspection, and simplified engineering principles.
In order to attend this seminar, we would have to transfer $1360.00 from Miscellaneous
to Transportation. In the FY 94/95 Transportation budget, I originally requested $2400.00;
this was ultimately cut back to $1000.00.
I am requesting the $1360.00 be transferred back to the Transportation account to enable
me to attend this information packed seminar.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Williams and City Council
THROUGH: Tom Manninen, City Manager
FROM: Keith Kornelis, Public Works Director
DATE: February 14, 1995
SUBJECT: Purchase of OSHA Items and Unimog Clutch
FOR: City Council 2/15/95
Please replace item C-5 with substitute Resolution No 95-10
There are some changes that need to be made to Resolution No. 95-10 which came to
our attention after the council packet was completed.
1. The Fire Department needs to replace a hoist that is located in the hose tower.
2. The cost for the chlorine detection system at the two well sites was modified by
IISCO after the council packet was completed. The vendor, B & W Technologies,
had given IISCO a price for one set of detectors, controllers, and enclosures for
only one well house, and we need two sets. Therefore, an additional $2800 needs
to be added to Water - Improvements Other Than Buildings. The city would like
to purchase 4 chlorine detectors, 4 controllers, and 2 steel enclosures direct from
B & W Technologies. A detector and controller would go in each chlorine building
and well house.
Please add the following urchase orders over 1000 to H-2:
1. To Alaska Industrial Hardware for furnishing a hoist for the
hose tower .......................................... $1473.30
2. To IISCO for furnishing and installing the chlorine
leak detectors at the well houses . ......................... $6980.00
3. To B & W Technologies for furnishing the detectors,
controllers, and enclosures .............................. $5600.00
4. To Schmidt Engineering for clutch repair parts for the
Unimog snow blower and sweeper ......................... $2903.28
Please delete the IISCO P.O. for $9780 00 listed on P O 's over $1000. Item H-2

Members Absent: Jerry Hanson, Janice Rodes, Janet Brown

Communities - Health People. He invited everyone to attend their Leadership Forum on
February 24th and the Community Forum scheduled for February 25th.

be closed on President's Day. The library will be open four Sundays in April, but closed on
Easter Sunday.
Library Commission
February 7, 1995
Page 1
Emily has the budget papers done and they will be turned in by the end of the month. She
has requested a Macintosh workstation with a CD Rom Jukebox. She also requested stations
for the visual and hearing impaired. She has prepared the grant papers to go to the state.
Emily suggested changing the book rental to 25 cents a week. She asked everyone to think
on it and discuss it further next meeting. She also suggested that the library no longer
maintain the IBM Selectric typewriters under the maintenance contract. It was cost
prohibitive and they are always down for repair. Her suggestion was to purchase a
Wheelwriter, which has no memory capability, but does have spell check.
7. OLD BUSINESS
a. Committee Report/Library Policy - Carol Brenckle suggested looking at it further and
reviewing at the next meeting.
Christine Monfor announced there was a special meeting scheduled for February 8th
to discuss ambulance fees and invited everyone to attend. Due to a prior
commitment, Christine had to exit the meeting at 8:30 p.m.
b. Goals and Objectives - Kathy Heus noted that under Goal B, Item 9, "Continue to"
should be added at the beginning and under Goal B, Item 13, "of" should be changed
to "to". Vince O'Reilly MOVED to accept the revised Goals and Objectives as
corrected. Carol Brenckle SECONDED. The vote was unanimously accepted.
Kathy Heus suggested doing a list of Accomplishments to accompany the Goals and
Objectives. Carol Brenckle stated she would like to see a letter from the Director to
the Council noting the changes in the Goals and Objectives from last year. Emily
DeForest responded that it should probably just state the accomplishments, not be
specific to who did it. Bob Peters asked if the Goals had been revised last year.
Kathy Heus responded that they had not been revised last year due to the fact that
Council was still working on theirs. Vince O'Reilly suggested that Emily's report go
to Council and to show how the goals are being met.
Vince O'Reilly MOVED that the Library Director prepare a report to the
Commission showing the progress towards meeting the Goals and Objectives. Carol
Brenckle SECONDED. The vote was unanimous to accept.
C. Friends of the Library - Kathy Heus stated that several new members have been
gained, but some comments have been made that January is not the best month for a
new member drive, since it came so close to Christmas. The Board is currently
looking into it.
Library Commission
February 7, 1995
Page 2
Friends are currently sponsoring a Trade -A -Romance exchange in honor of the
romantic month of February. There will also be a used book sale at the end of the
month.
d. Other - Kathy Heus announced that a letter of resignation had been received from
Jerry Hanson and sent to Council. She stated that anyone interested in filling the
vacancy could pick up an application from the library.
8. NEW BUSINESS
a. Attendance - Kathy Heus stated that Council has readdressed absences. She stated
that if a member was absent for more than one half of all the meetings of his/her
committee held within a period of three consecutive calendar months, he or she would
no longer hold the seat. This was passed by Council in November and she thought it
should be brought to everyone's attention.
9. COMMISSIONER COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS
Bob Peters stated that he was very impressed with Dan Morris's presentation.
Vince O'Reilly stated that he was very pleased with the meeting and felt the Commission had
made good progress.

Leadership Workshop being put on by Health Communities -Healthy People on February

KENAI PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION
***Minutes***
February 2, 1995 - 7:00 p.m.
City Council Chambers
Chairman Richard Hultberg
1. ROLL CALL
Members Present: Dale Sandahl, Kelly Gifford, Richard Hultberg, Jack Castimore
Members Absent: Steve Latz, Roger Seibert, Amanda Baldwin
Also Present: Kayo McGillivray, Duane Bannock, Debby Fahnholz, JoAnn Hagen
2. APPROVAL OF AGENDA
Agenda was amended to include JoAnn Hagen, Public Health Nurse, under Persons to Be
Heard. The agenda was approved as amended.
3. APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Kayo McGillivray requested that the January 5, 1995, minutes be corrected on Page 2,
Section 5.d, "appropriated" be changed to "approved". The minutes were approved as
corrected.
4. PERSONS SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD
JoAnn Hagen explained about the Healthy Communities process. This is a Borough -wide
effort whose goal is to help make ours a healthier community, to include recreation,
economics, and education, as well as health. She invited everyone to participate in a
leadership workshop on February 24th and a Health Forum on February 25th.
5. DIRECTOR'S REPORT
Kayo McGillivray reported the following:
a. OSHA Inspection - There was a list of possible violations given by the OSHA
Parks & Rec Commission
February 2, 1995
Page 1
inspector. Two corrections have already been made. Work orders have been
issued for two others. One of the main issues addressed by the inspector was
that there were no site -specific safety plans in place. Parks & Rec was the
only department that had an existing safety plan. It did not meet their
standards, but did exist. One of the issues brought up will be that summer
hires will be required to have safety shoes. Also there will need to be a
certification process for safety training of the summer hires.
It was also noted that they did not have all the Material Safety Data Sheets
(MSDS) available. Kayo is currently working on collecting the required
forms.
b. Elks Hoop Shoot - There was a good turnout. Two people tied for spots in the
state finals. One person tied for first place, and the other tied for third. They
will have a shoot -off to see if they will make the finals.
6. OLD BUSINESS
a. Playground Equipment - Will get bid specs together and sent out next week.
Approximate cost, delivered to Kenai, should be $20,286. They will ask for
delivery by June 1, 1995. This will depend on Council's approval.
Jack Castimore asked what will happen to the equipment that will be replaced,
and if any of it will be re -usable. Kayo responded that the slides and some of
the equipment would possibly be re -usable. It would be dismantled and
probably stored, possibly auctioned. He said if there was a request to
Council, it would probably be considered. Jack said he was thinking of Sears
Elementary, if the parents would put it in.
7. NEW BUSINESS
a. Budget - Kayo has to have the budget to Finance by February 24. He
requested that he would like to call a special meeting on February 16th. It
was tentatively agreed to meet then.
b. Beautification Committee - Kelly Gifford asked about Beautification committee
and if they will be picking banners. Kayo stated that the red has faded on
some of the banners. They are trying to figure out how to use the existing
banners and add a few new ones, without having to replace them all.

C. Five Year Capital Expenditures
Kayo explained how they are hoping to get a used 1/2 ton pickup, possibly
through a department transfer if the shop's new pickup is approved.
Sandahl asked if the Cunningham Park restroom was the highest priority.
Kayo responded that the current restroom is leaning towards the river and is in
most need of being replaced. Jack Castimore asked about the difference in
cost between the softball greenstrip restroom and the Cunningham Park
restroom. Kayo explained the difference in cost is due to the fact that the
Greenstrip restroom will be tied in to water and sewer, and the Cunningham
Park restroom will be a pre-fab pit unit.
Kelly Gifford asked about the Oilers fence area. Kayo explained that the
Oilers have a lease and was not sure who was responsible for maintenance of
that area. Kelly stated she would like to see the fence painted and the area
cleaned up.
Kelly Gifford MOVED to approve the capital expenditures projected budget.
Jack Castimore SECONDED. The vote was unanimous.
8. CORRESPONDENCE
None.
9. INFORMATION
None.
10. ADJOURNMENT
Dale Sandahl MOVED to adjourn. It was SECONDED by Kelly Gifford. Meeting was
adjourned at 8:30 p.m.

4. PERSONS SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD N
a. Kathy Scott "Healthy Communities - Healthy People"
Leadership Workshop and Forum
Kathy Scott did not attend. Loretta Breeden noted she was late for the meeting
because she did not feel this presentation was pertinent to the Committee.
Linda Swamer gave a brief report as she was involved with this project. She felt the P
workshop on Friday was not pertinent to the Committee. However, the community
forum on Saturday might be an appropriate place for any committee member, as ideas
will be exchanged on how to make communities better places to live. Swarner P
reminded the Committee that flowers are beautiful to look at, and they make people
happy, which adds to the community's health.
5. REPORTS R
a. Chairperson
Chairperson Hett passed out a list of flower beds that need to be maintained and O
whether they are maintained by Parks & Rec crews, or the Beautification Committee.
She also passed out a chart to list three volunteers per bed, so maintainence can be
coordinated. Hett also suggested that a letter be sent to all volunteers to explain what
maintenance is required and who to contact for information, etc. V
Bob Frates suggested that each committee member be responsible for one bed and
they could coordinate volunteer efforts for that bed. E
Chairperson Hett recommended this item be carried forward to the next meeting so
people can bring additional names for the volunteer lists, and ideas to coordinate the
volunteer efforts. D

b. Parks & Rec
Bob Frates reported the red portion of the banners the City uses now have faded.
The banner company was contacted and they will replace the bottom of each banner. T T
Kayo McGillivray thought the banners will be adequate for next summer, and that new V
banners could be purchased for the summer of 1996.
The Christmas lights have been a maintenance problem due to the garland collecting N
dirt. The garland is being stripped from the lights and next year the lights will just be
silhouettes.
Frates passed out a copy of the proposed Beautification budget. The budget is A
basically the same as last year. Frates said he would like to purchase some railroad
ties to use in landscaping and developing flower beds.
Frates is preparing the seed order for Merle Dean Feldman. P
c. Council
Councilperson Swarner reported that the Council discussed the request which was P
made at the previous meeting to appoint an ad -hoc member to Beautification from the
Parks and Rec Commission. Council can not appoint such a member and felt since
Beautification is an advisory committee under the auspices of Parks and Rec, F
Beautification should appoint a member to attend Parks and Rec meetings, not vice
versus. Also, due to the time of the Beautification meeting it is hard for a Parks and
Rec member to attend.
Swarner also noted there has been no money budgeted to replace banners and
Christmas lights in the past few years. She will request funds in the next
Beautification budget for new banners.
6. OLD BUSINESS V
a. Volunteer Coordination
Chairperson Hett noted this had been discussed under her report and asked if there
were further suggestions. T�
Loretta Breeden suggested when Hett called volunteers she could ask if they would D
like to serve on the committee. There are presently two vacancies.

b. City Greenhouse
Chairperson Hett reported that the cost of developing a greenhouse would be
prohibitive. Besides maintaining the building, someone would need to water the T T
plantings and care for them. It is cheaper, at this point to buy the plants from a V
commercial greenhouse.
Loretta Breeden asked if there was a way to build a lean-to structure to protect the N
seedlings that Merle Dean Feldman provides for the city. It could be fiber -glass on
two by fours, leaned against a city building, which could be taken down after the
planting season.
A
Bob Frates said the shop area was discussed, but there is no room. Last year the
seedlings came directly from Merle Dean and were planted as they arrived. Hett
suggested a lean-to plant area be carried forward to the Goals and Objectives for
1995. P
7. NEW BUSINESS
a. Written Comments, ideas, and objectives for 1995 season: P
1. Banners/signage for the Oldtown area.
2. Flower beds and boxes in Oldtown. R
3. Information Kiosks with hanging planters for Oldtown.
4. Participate in annual Beautification Awards with Kenai Chamber.
5. Clarion/Dispatch article regarding "Citizens for Beautiful Kenai" theme.
6. Lean-to structure for early plant protection. Q
7. Task Force for volunteers/organizations.
8. Develop city owned gulch areas for parks, green strips or walking trails.
9. Utilize Daubenspeck property for recreation purposes.
9. Continue developing volunteer pool. V
10. Improve park frontages.
Bob Frates noted there were a couple of signs in the Oldtown area which need to be E
repaired and repainted.
Loretta Harvey noted the Historic District Board (HDB) has identified signage in D
Oldtown as a project. The HDB was also looking at developing a walking tour on the
Daubenspeck property, which is part of the site of the original native village in Kenai.

b. Arbor Day Grant (attached)
Chairperson Hett passed out information on the availability of Arbor Day Grants. She T T
asked if the Committee would wish to pursue such a grant and where the trees would V
be planted.
The Committee felt this would be a good project and recommended that trees be N
planted near the softball fields off Main Street Loop. If that is not feasible Parks and
Rec could consider planting the trees between the bluff and Senior Center and
possibly on portions of the Daubenspeck property. Bob Frates suggested the
cemetery could use some trees near the back fence. A
MOTION AND VOTE:
Loretta Breeden MOVED to recommend to Council the city apply for an Arbor r
Day Grant to provide trees to be planted on the softball greenstrip. Nina Selby
SECONDED. PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.
MOTION AND VOTE:
Loretta Breeden MOVED that If the softball greenstrip is unsuitable for the trees,
the Parks and Rec department look for an area by the bluff near the Senior R
Center and/or the cemetery. Nina Selby SECONDED. PASSED BY MAJORITY
VOTE. Sylvia Johnson opposed.

Arbor Day is a special day set aside for planting and celebrating the beauty of trees. More
importantly, it is an opportunity to inform people about the ecological, social and economic
benefits that trees provide. The Urban & Community Forestry Program is offering grants to
communities to encourage them to participate in Arbor Day activities. In Alaska, Arbor Day
is celebrated on the third Monday in May, which is May 15 in 1995.
Who May Apply?
Any unit of local government or nonprofit organization with IRS 501(c) 3 status may apply.
Volunteer groups without this status may apply through a unit of local government, such as
a school or parks department, or other nonprofit group.
What Kind of Projects Will be Funded?
Grants may be used to buy and plant trees or to sponsor other educational or informational
activities related to Arbor Day and urban/community forestry. Communities that plant trees
must hold a ceremony or special event that involves significant community support, partici-
pation and publicity. Trees must be planted according to recommendedechniques so that
they serve as a model for the best way to plant trees.
Activities to consider: tree planting, interpretive tree walks or tours; development or distribu-
tion of written materials; demonstration or workshop on proper ways to plant and care for
trees; establishment of a school arboretum or commemorative/memorial tree grove; a guide-
book about the trees at your school, in a park or in your neighborhood; demonstration of
appropriate trees to plant near utility lines.
How Much Money is Available?
About $18,000 is available for Arbor Day Grants this year. Communities may request a grant
of between $250 and $2,000. Requests for larger amounts may be considered for projects that
show widespread community involvement and benefit.
Is a Match Required?
A one-to-one match is required; for example, a $500 grant requires a $500 match. The match
may be cash or in -kind services and donations.
What Criteria Will be Used to Select Projects?
- Quality, appropriateness, organization and realistic budget;
- Project's ability to meet a need and provide lasting benefits to the community;
- Extent of support and involvement by community, and partnerships with agencies and
organizations;

City of Kenai, Parks & Recreation Dept.
DATE: February 13, 1995
RE: Alaska Urban & Community Forestry Program
I would like to inform you that the City of Kenai, Parks & Recreation
Department, is proud to announce we will gladly endorse and participate in
this year's Arbor Day Celebration by supporting the efforts of Kenai Middle
School, on May 15, 1995. The Kenai Parks & Recreation Dept. has both an
interest and responsibility in sharing with people the positive benefits of
investing in the environmental health of our community. One of the best
methods of accomplishing this objective is through building and
strengthening partnerships with local agencies which express similar
interests and concerns. We recognize that this particular outdoor activity
gives children practical hands-on experience, in all phases of
implementation, which otherwise could not be accomplished within the
confines of a classroom setting along. Furthermore, the site chosen for the
tree plantings is situated in a high -profile location frequently visited by local
residents and tourists alike. We strongly expect that by working jointly with
the Kenai Middle School's Student Community Service Project, we will
raise community interests and awareness regarding a plan for a brighter,
healthier Kenai. In order to fulfill our obligation, the Kenai Parks Dept.
agrees to strictly adhere to an annual tree maintenance program as outlined
in the following maintenance proposal.
I. MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES

B-2. Assembly President Scalzi and Assemblywoman Betty Glick
- Kenai Peninsula Borough Overlay District Ordinance.
Betty Glick - Glick introduced Kenai Peninsula Assembly President
Drew Scalzi and stated he wanted to speak to Council regarding
the new draft of the overlay district ordinance. Glick added the
request for speaking to Council was "in the works" prior to Mayor
Williams' latest letter to the Assembly opposing the overlay
ordinance. At that time, the Mayor's letter had not yet been
discussed by the Assembly as a whole. It will be discussed at
the February 7 meeting.
Drew Scalzi - Scalzi began by stating he believed there was a
misunderstanding (by Council) of what the Assembly was doing with
the ordinance. When the ordinance was introduced, he issued a
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
February 1, 1995
Page 3
memorandum stating what he wanted to do with the ordinance. At
the end of the memorandum, it stated if the ordinance was passed
a special committee would be set to be made up of members of the
Borough Planning Commission, the Borough Planning Department, and
different regulatory groups. The memorandum mistakenly left out
the inclusion of representatives from the municipalities who
would also be part of the committee.
They were trying to accomplish two stages for the ordinance, the
first was the drafting of the ordinance by the Assembly, with
suggestions, etc. from affected groups and governments. Scalzi
stated he believed the misunderstanding occurred after that. The
municipalities were asked to submit written and oral testimony of
what they liked and disliked about the ordinance. The City of
Soldotna has made recommendations to that end. The City of Kenai
has requested to be excluded from the overlay district. The
ordinance is being modified at this time. The Assembly would
still like to know what the City likes and does not like about
the ordinance. Scalzi explained this is not a concession to
exclude the City from the district.
Scalzi referred to the Mayor's last letter where he aid the
Assembly first explained the ordinance would be a shell however,
the ordinance is now being writing with regulations included. It
is a still a two -stage project. They will be leaving the
regulations up to the Planning Commission and Department. A
committee will be putting out the regulations. The regulations
will be the "nuts and bolts" of the ordinance. Scalzi encouraged
the City to participate and hoped they would also follow the work
of the Assembly on the ordinance.
Councilwoman Swarner thanked Scalzi for coming to the City's
meeting. Swarner asked for a definition of "routine maintenance"
as discussed on page 4 of the ordinance. Scalzi stated it would
be lawn cutting, etc. If a clarification is needed, it will be
put in the regulations.
Councilwoman Monfor referred to the information added to the
agenda from the City's Planning Department. The information was
a listing of all the steps that were needed by Mack and Carol
Padgett to receive a vacation of easement on this property. The
Borough approved it right away. The City did not due to its
desire to be sure that the River was protected. Monfor added
this is why the City does not want to become a part of the
ordinance as it already has regulations included in its code that
work.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
February 1, 1995
Page 4
Williams explained there has been a lot of discussion that the
City does not protect the River, etc. The Padgett request went
through 15 separate meetings before the vacation of the easement
was granted. This indicates the City is careful with approval of
permits. Those projects for which the City applied to develop
portions of the river were well thought out and planned and the
projects the City completed were approved by all the regulatory
groups involved. The City has always been interested in what is
going on with the River.
Scalzi stated he believed the Padgett permitting was a good
example of what they hope to accomplish with the ordinance. This
would be to simplify the manner in which permits are received:
Like one -stop shopping. Scalzi added the Assembly was not saying
anything adverse about the City of Kenai.
Smalley stated the Kenai Planning & Zoning Commission, as a
continuing effort of the Commission, will be reviewing the City's
zoning ordinances, etc.
Williams referred to a letter Council received from Mr.
Knackstedt in which the ordinance was gone through paragraph by
paragraph and remarks and questions were listed in regard to the
regulations included in the ordinance. There were 26 rules
prohibiting use, 23 permitted items, and eight items not needing
permits. Williams stated he could not recall reading an
ordinance that was drafted at such length to delineate so many
different items. The ordinance is no longer a shell. The
ordinance states that a person can be fined up to $1,000 per
violation per day, etc. Williams asked if there has been a
fiscal note showing the cost to the Borough to police the
ordinance. If litigation occurs from violations of the
ordinance, it may be very expensive. How does the Borough
propose to pay for the litigation if the Borough is already
against the tax cap? Will they ask to have the tax cap raised?
Williams also reminded the Assembly members present that the
zoning powers were given to the City from the Borough some years
past. It would look bad if the Borough would take the powers
back. It is also a concern of Council for the Borough to impose
this ordinance on the City when it feels it is doing an adequate
job already.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
February 1, 1995
Page 5
Scalzi stated Williams' comments about the restrictions and
questions of funding were an excellent start for bettering the
ordinance. He did not believe the Assembly would issue an
ordinance without knowing the fiscal note.
Williams questioned the 11200 ft." limit for wastewater treatment
plants and asked if the City of Soldotna would meet that
requirement. Scalzi stated they intend to grandfather existing
developments. Williams handed a copy of the Knackstedt letter to
Glick and Scalzi, along with a copy of the memorandum regarding
the Padgett easement vacation.
Betty Glick - Encouraged the City's participation in development
of the ordinance. Glick added, for the record, that she was
aware City Engineer Jack La Shot has attended work sessions, etc.
Also other members of the Planning Commission and Council. Glick
asked for Council to attend meetings and keep abreast of the
development of the ordinance. Please make comments. Glick
reported the next Assembly meeting will be held on February 7.
At their last meeting, the Assembly started to work through the
ordinance. The original 600 ft. included in the ordinance has
now been set at 400 ft. and could possibly be go smaller. Glick
stated she hoped the City would keep the line of communication
open.
Williams referred to a Daily News article which informed the
public fishing would be halted in the Susitna River, etc. The
article instructed people wanting to fish to fish the Kenai
River. The people are encouraged to come to the Kenai and that
will enhance the economic growth. Williams added it is the users
of the River who are ruining the river, along with Mother Nature.
Glick reported a meeting will be held on the overlay ordinance on
Monday, February 6 at 7:00 p.m. at the Borough Building. The
Assembly will have their next regular meeting on February 7.
ITEM C: PUBLIC HEARINGS
C-1. Ordinance No. 1625-95 - Amending KMC 7.15.030 and
7.15.080(a) to Increase the Level at Which the City
Administration Can Make Purchases Without Specific
Council Approval From $1,000 to $2,500.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
February 1, 1995
Page 6
MOTION:
Councilman Measles MOVED for adoption of Ordinance No. 1625-95
and Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion.
There were no public comments. Williams explained to those in
the audience that years ago the City found itself in debt. The
Council took over the entire expenditure of money and put limits
on purchases. About ten years ago, Council set a limit, at which
time the Council would need to approve the expenditures, at
$1,000. With the rate of inflation, etc., $1,000 doesn't buy as
much anymore. Raising the limit will allow purchasing to run
more efficiently.
There were no council comments.
VOTE:
Monfor: Yes Measles: Yes Bannock: Yes
Smalley: Yes Williams: Yes Bookey: Yes
Swarner: Yes
MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.

D-5. Parks & Recreation Commission
Councilman Bannock reported the next scheduled meeting date is
February 2, 1995.
D-6. Planning & Zoning Commission
Councilman Smalley reported the minutes from the last two
meetings were included in the packet. Smalley reviewed actions
taken by the Commission at their January 25, 1995 meeting:
a. Thompson Park Rezone - Comments had been taken for
several meetings in regard to a possible rezone. Most comments
were that property owners wished to keep large lots and did not
want multiple housing allowed. P&Z defeated the resolution.
Zoning will remain as RR in that area. RS-1 was discussed
because it requires large lot sizes, however the Commission did
not change the zone due to property owners' comments. Smalley
added he believed the RR zone allowed four-plexes.
b. The next regular meeting of the Commission will meet in
the library conference room due to the Special Council Meeting
being held in the Chambers.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES

C. Commissioners Glick, Bryson and Walker will work with
the Council in regard to the Borough's overlay ordinance. They
would like to be kept informed, i.e. anything Council does will
go to them.
D-7. Miscellaneous Commissions and Committees
a. Historic District Board - Councilman Bannock reported
he attend the last meeting of the Board. Bannock reported:
1. Bill Toppa agreed to be the Planning & Zoning
Commission ad hoc member to the HDB.
2. The Board discussed the placing the Daubenspeck
property into the Historic District Zone as it is the site of the
original village, Ski'tuk. The Board would like to develop that
area as an interpretative site. Rose Ann Murphy, a Board member,
was in the audience. Murphy added Board Member Boraas has
volunteered to develop the interpretative site, making signs,
etc. to explain the area for people visiting the area.
Williams asked if the Board talked about surveying the property
or archeological digs in that area as the property has been
discussed for future development, i.e. a convention center.
Williams suggested it may be a good idea to investigate the
property more fully for future development. Smalley suggested
the Board, after their investigation, bring the information
forward to the Planning & Zoning Commission.
Councilman Smalley asked if the Board was asking to rezone all of
the Daubenspeck property or just the corner. Bannock stated he
did not know, but he will bring the information back to the
Planning & Zoning Commission.
3. Councilman Bannock stated he would attend the next
two meetings of the Board as Councilman Bookey will be out of the
area.
Return to D-6, Planning & Zoning Commission:
Smalley referred to the memorandum included in the packet
requesting Council's permission for P&Z Commission member Teresa
Werner-Quade to attend a P&Z seminar in Anchorage. Williams
stated he believed at least one of the Commissioners should
attend. Smalley suggested City Engineer La Shot may also want to
attend.
Clerk Freas stated the memorandum discussed using Legislative
funds for the travel because the P&Z Commission no longer had
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
February 1, 1995
Page 9
funding available to pay for the travel. If allowed, the funds
would be transferred from the Legislative account to Planning &
Zoning.
MOTION:
Councilman Smalley MOVED to take funds out of the Legislative
accounts and take care of the expenses to send Teresa Werner-
Quade to the conference. Councilman Bookey SECONDED the motion.
Councilman Measles objected to the motion. Williams asked if
there were other objections. Williams noted there were none.
Williams declared MOTION PASSED.
Return to D-7, Historic District Board:
Williams noted the letter of resignation from Board Member Arness
which was added to the agenda at the beginning of the meeting.
Council reviewed applications on file which were attached to the
letter of resignation. Williams noted the chair opened with the
resignation of Arness was an "out-of-town" seat. Williams
recommended the placement of James Malanaphy to the Board, taking
the out-of-town seat. There were no objections from Council.
Williams recommended Kim Booth to fill the Board seat made
available from the movement of Karen Mahurin to the Planning &
Zoning Commission. There were no objections from Council.

H-4. Discussion - Kenai Tidelands/Shore Fishery Leases.
Councilwoman Monfor recommended, with consensus of Council, to
make changes to the code in regard to the shore fishery leases.
Monfor reported the State charges $300 for a shore fishery lease.
She suggested the Council adjust the cost of the leases in the
City to the same cost of the State and amend KMC 11.20.130.
Monfor added it is very difficult to appraise the value of a
shore fishery lease: A shore fishery lease is used only eight
weeks out of the year and because of subsistence fishing, there
are certain days subsistence fishermen can use the site and the
lessee cannot; the appraised value fluctuates with the market
value of the fish or whether there are fish in the Inlet.
Monfor stated she felt it was a fair assessment to charge the
same as the State for the leases and if the Code is cleaned up,
there wouldn't be problems.
Councilman Smalley stated he concurred with Monfor's assessment.
Smalley asked how long it would take to amend the Code. Attorney
Graves answered he could have an ordinance introduced at the next
meeting and approval could be at the following meeting if Council
agreed this is what they want.
Councilwoman Monfor MOVED to raise the shore fishery lease rate
to $300 and not do appraisals on them. Councilman Smalley
SECONDED the motion.
Williams referred to the request to extend the boundaries of the
leases to the city limits. Williams suggested they make it
possible for the holder of the lease to have a survey made.
After the survey is completed, it should be brought to Council
for review and possible amendment of the lease to include the new
portion. Extending the boundaries would eliminate the
possibility of someone coming in from the west side and
encroaching on City lands without payment for the use of the land
to the City.
Smalley asked if any fishermen have an actual survey of their
shore fishery leases. Frank Canady answered he would speak for
himself and the leases around his as they were relatives. Canady
stated extension of the leases was not a big concern. The sites
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
February 1, 1995
Page 12
leased outside are State leases and there is not room in any of
them to put a net between. There are certain times of the year
when drifters try to set their nets, however.
Canady continued, what Monfor stated was his exact feeling. He
spoke with the others he was representing and they feel this
would be fair and equitable for them. Canady added if the State
raises their lease rate, the City should also.
Williams added if Canady (and others) want to have their leases
extended to the city limits, they will have their sites surveyed
at their cost. Canady stated yes.
VOTE:
There were no objections to the motion. SO ORDERED.
H-5. Discussion - The Challenger Center.
Williams referred to the Alaska Space Rocketry article which was
distributed at the beginning of the meeting. Williams gave an
update of his discussions in Juneau with legislators in regard to
the placement of a Center in Kenai. At some time in the future,
Council will have to decide whether to go ahead with such a
project. At this time it looks like there will be a $21 million
grant to the Alaska Aerospace Development Corporation. From that
grant, $1 million would be granted back to furnish the facility
with the equipment. Many of the legislators had ideas of how to
fund the project without going into the legislative budget.
Councilman Bookey reported he and Mayor Williams discussed the
project with a number of legislators, including Senator Zharoff.
They received no negative feedback. They all want the City to
continue with the planning. Bookey added it is too early to tell
what the outcome will be, but he feels it is a very viable
project to work toward. There have not been any negative aspects
addressed yet.
Williams added there is always the possibility that no funding
will be available, etc. They will need a non-profit organization
to run the facility. There will be lots of planning to set up
the project. If it is possible to go ahead with the building of
the Center, it will be a worthwhile project. With Internet,
Williams envisioned the connection of the 38 schools in the Kenai
Peninsula Borough, as well as other schools throughout the state
with the ability to use the facility for interactive learning.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
February 1, 1995
Page 13
Williams requested approval from Council to hold a reception in
Juneau on March 28. Williams reported the cost of the reception
would be divided between the boroughs of Kodiak, Kenai Peninsula
and Fairbanks North Star and the cities of Kenai, Fairbanks and
Kodiak. The cost of the reception would be approximately $2,400
(to be divided). The reception would be to present legislators,
etc. with information about the Center. Williams planned to show
videos about the Center and the City of Kenai during the
reception.
Williams requested permission to spend approximately $500 (the
City's share) on the reception. Swarner stated she thought it
important that other city council members, Administration
personnel, etc. attend the reception if possible. Williams noted
that Councilwoman Swarner (a member of the AML Legislative
Committee), Councilman Bookey (a member of the AML Board of
Directors) and he will be in Juneau during that week to attend
AML and Alaska Conference of Mayors meetings. City Manager
Manninen will also be in Juneau as a member of the AML
Legislative Committee. Williams added if other councilmembers
wished to attend, they should inform the Clerk.
Williams also reported he would have two Challenger Center tapes
duplicated to send to legislators and other interested parties.
Cost for duplicating the tapes would be approximately $900.
There were no objections from Council for either the duplicating
costs of the tapes or the cost for the reception.
H-6. Discussion - OSHA Safety Inspection Update.
Kornelis referred to the memorandum included in the packet which
listed problem areas found by the OSHA inspector. Kornelis
stated most of the problems listed have been corrected. The
remaining problems will be taken care of very shortly. Some of
the higher -cost problems will require council approval of funding
transfers, purchase orders over $1,000, etc. Kornelis stated the
memorandum was mostly for Council's information.
Bookey referred to the second violation listed which stated there
was no site -specific safety plan in every department. Bookey
stated safety plans have been discussed for about eight to ten
months. He was surprised the City would go into a voluntary
inspection without having the safety plans in place. Kornelis
stated there is an overall safety plan in place. What OSHA was
referring to was a sub -part of it that says certain areas have
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
February 1, 1995
Page 14
certain problems. Bookey stated he had mentioned that about four
months ago and asked to make sure it was site specific and they
were being prepared. If the inspection had not been voluntary,
the City could have some problems. He was surprised by some of
the violations, like the frayed cord, etc. which should have been
corrected long before this inspection. Bookey stated he would
like to know where the City went wrong.
Kornelis stated he had no comment other than that is why he
requested a voluntary inspection be made. It was OSHA's opinion
that the City did very well. He did not know where the amounts
came from which the Engineering Technician had in the memorandum.
Kornelis stated he thought the violations found were relatively
minor in comparison to some of the larger items that have been
cited in larger facilities.
City Manager Manninen stated the value (of violations) noted in
the memorandum, was the maximum potential fines if everything
applied to the OSHA authority. Because this was a voluntary
inspection, no payment in fines would have to be paid to OSHA at
this time. The reason he did the cover memorandum, was because
the four items listed on it would cost more than $1,000 to
correct and would need Council approval for the purchases of
materials, etc. to make the corrections. Manninen added he did
not agree with Kornelis. Those items on his memorandum would
require some kind of action from the Council basically because
the OSHA inspector told them the items would need to be corrected
within 30 days of their written report of the inspection. To
show good faith, Manninen asked Council to consider authorizing
spending up to the amounts listed if necessary, to correct the
four major items. As was discussed in the staff meeting, the
department heads will be correcting all the minor items, i.e.
frayed electrical cords, GFI's, etc. Those costs for corrections
would come from those departments' operating budgets.
Manninen added Administration shared Council's concerns and in
order to move ahead and correct the problems, sometimes it's good
to have a third party to come and do an inspection.
IY ceIl0 C•) ZIF
Councilman Smalley MOVED to make the necessary or take the
necessary steps to rectify the problems, because even if they
would come to that figure, $17,105 is a lot better than $406,000.
Also, the money be appropriated from the different areas of the
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
February 1, 1995
Page 15
budget document, or wherever it can be found, to repair these
problems to meet the inspection standards. Councilwoman Monfor
SECONDED the motion.
Williams stated the motion, as he understood it, was for
Administration to move quickly to appropriate the necessary
funding to take care of the matters. Manninen added he would
like the Council to appropriate funds to do the four large items
so that staff can go forward in correcting the problems.
Williams stated he believed Councilman Smalley wanted
Administration to bring the appropriate documentation forward to
the next regular meeting for action. Smalley concurred.
Kornelis stated the four items listed on Manninen's memorandum
and a good portion of the other violations listed are items that
have been in existence long before the last OSHA inspection.
About three or four years ago, there were two OSHA compliance
inspections made. The City complied with every item that was
listed by those OSHA inspections. Their intention is to make all
of the corrections, but he wanted to point out that a lot of the
items listed are the same as those in the past.
Williams questioned Planning & Zoning Commissioner Carl Glick who
was in the audience. Williams asked how many violations were
found on the pipeline. Glick answered thousands.
Smalley stated that his assumption was that when the outlets (on
the list of violations) were installed, they were to Code.
Perhaps changes have happened over the years and the outlets had
not been modified. Smalley asked if the outlets were faulty.
Kornelis stated that a lot depends on the interpretation of each
inspector. They plan on complying with the strictest
interpretation. Kornelis reminded Council this was a voluntary
inspection.
Manninen added the inspector did find some minor items that will
be corrected. These items will be easier to correct than some of
the more expensive ones. Manninen reported the inspector did
check all the space heaters in City Hall to make sure they had
automatic shut -offs. Those without an automatic shut-off were
removed and replaced with new ones with automatic shut -offs.

ITEM I: ADMINISTRATION REPORTS
I-1. Mayor
a. Alaska on Location - Williams reported he was
interviewed, along with Jim & Nedra Evenson, Clare Swan, Emil
Dolchok and Laura Measles at the Kenai Visitors and Cultural
Center on Saturday morning. Alaska on Location is a new program
from KIMO, Channel 13. The videoed report will air on Channel 13
on February 11 at 5:00 p.m. and on RATNET on February 15 at 7:30
p.m.
b. Alaska Economic Trends - Williams discussed information
included in the Alaska Economic Trends booklet regarding
employment and economics since 1987. The issue is mostly about
the Kenai Peninsula. He ordered 50 copies of the book to mail
out with the City video and other informational material.
C. SB20/Alaska Municipal Basic Services Program - Williams
noted a copy of the bill was included in the packet. Williams
added he was discouraged when, during the Governor's message,
that the Municipal Assistance and Revenue Sharing will be
decreased. Williams invited comments from Assemblywoman Glick.
Glick reported there was a long discussion in regard to the bill
during the AML Legislative Committee meetings in Juneau. There
was a hold harmless clause in the draft with fees in the AML
draft. The figures looked pretty good except for the Kenai
Peninsula and the City of Kenai took hits. There have been a
number of drafts of the bill and it continues to be amended. The
Legislature will continue to look at a single distribution
program which will phased in over a short period of time.
Senator Torgerson has guaranteed the next draft of the bill will
include a phase -in period. There will be hearings on the bill
February 22 and 23.
I-2. City Manager
a. SB20/Alaska Municipal Basic Services Program - Manninen
referred to the AMBS and stated the discussions on the hold
harmless would have protected the City from any future losses.
That's not in but, after reading the information brought back
from Juneau, there is a 2% cap on the cuts which would amount to,
getting it down to dollars for Kenai, would be less than $15,000.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
February 1, 1995
Page 17
If the cut is capped at 2%, it would be less than $15,000. This
may last up to the turn of the century for the City at that rate,
but that is not known.
b. EDD Annual Meeting - Manninen referred to his
memorandum added at the beginning of the meeting. The
significant things that happened are mentioned in the memorandum.
One of the items is the Kenai Foundation received its 501(c)(3)
tax exempt status which could be significant event if that is
needed. At one time, they felt it would be needed for the
possible donation of property which did not come forth. The tax
exempt status took almost a year to receive and is significant
for the future.
Manninen added the Council wanted the EDD kept in Kenai. It will
be here through the expiration of their lease. The Board voted
to pursue an EDA grant application for a business incubator.
Assemblyman Tim Navarre will be heading the business incubator
session which will be held on February 13 at City Hall. Navarre
is the head of the incubator subcommittee. The EDA grant would
provide $1 million to purchase a building. Equipment of their
operating needs from the EDA to the public works funds. Any
local funds will come through grants, loans and/or municipality
involvement. This window of opportunity was created because of
somebody not fulfilling their final application. EDD will have
this opportunity through September 30 to complete the
application. They are looking to purchase a portion of the
Carr's building for that.
C. ARDOR Meeting - Manninen reported an ARDOR meeting will
be held in Juneau on February 15, 16 and 17. He was just
informed that the meetings will on the 16th and 17th. He
volunteered to go to the meeting as a representative of the EDD
Board. Manninen added he planned on attending unless the Council
had an objection. The 16th and 17th would be dedicated to ARDOR
meetings. The 15th would be available for lobbying. Manninen
stated he would leave it up to the Council if they wanted him to
attend because the 15th is the next regular council meeting.
d. EDD Retreat - Manninen reported the EDD will be holding
a retreat on March 3 and 4 to decide what direction the board
will be going to next year.
Manninen asked Council if they had any direction for him to take
back to the EDD Board. If they had direction, he would like to
know of it just prior to the retreat.

Bookey - Reported the City flag at the Visitors Center
needed to be repaired or replaced.
Swarner - Restated the importance of having a safety plan
and was disappointed one was not in place at this time.
Requested that adequate training be provided to whoever the
safety person is.
Swarner added she was concerned whether training was provided for
the persons maintaining the fire trucks, graders, etc. Swarner
also requested interested members of the Council take a tour of
the City departments on a Saturday or weekday evening. She added
she believed it would be helpful to keep up-to-date with what is
going on in the different departments.
Swarner reported she would be attending the AML Legislative
Committee meeting in February.
City Manager Manninen reported he signed a purchase order last
week for an employee to attend a training seminar. The funding
was taken from contingency because there was not enough money in
the Department's budget.
Swarner reported she was glad the snow gates were installed and
being used. She received many positive comments from the
citizenry.
Kornelis explained their maintenance personnel are required to
attend training for the different equipment purchased and used in
the departments. Mechanics have been sent to schools for
specific items. Ongoing training is also available. This is not
covered in the safety plan, but it is a part of it. Also, the
City does have a safety plan which is site specific for the City.
OSHA is asking for individual building plans. They want more
specificity on individual buildings. The Department Heads have
reviewed the safety plan.
Monfor - Monfor reported she attended the Municipal
Coalition Meeting held at the Borough and hosted by the City of
Seward. The meeting was non -political in nature. It was a
gathering of representatives from the municipalities on the
Peninsula. They discussed common goals of the communities.
Monfor added she felt a representative should attend all the
meetings. If a councilmember was not available, she suggested
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES

the City Clerk attend. Monfor also stated she invited them to
hold a meeting in Kenai and suggested the use of the Bicentennial
Building. She was asked about and discussed the hotel/motel tax.
Bannock - Bannock reported he had received positive comments
in regard to the snow gates and felt it was the best $12,000 the
City has spent.
Smalley - Smalley reported he received a number of calls
complimenting the street maintenance and the use of the snow
gates. Smalley added he suggested the callers telephone Public
Works and pass on their compliments or tell the drivers.
Smalley also reported the scheduled leadership conference
information was forwarded to a counselor at KCHS. He also
informed the counselor that the student needed to be at least 16
years of age, someone actually involved in the leadership at the
school and must attend both conferences. Smalley suggested the
student be required to give a written report of he/she learned as
well.
Smalley also reported Officer Kornfield visited the school and
gave a wonderful presentation about officers working with the
schools. Smalley added he believed Kornfield will be much in
demand to be more involved. It was a very positive program.
Williams - Williams referred Council to review Information
Item No. 5 which was a letter from DCRA giving data elements for
the FY96 Municipal Revenue Sharing.
Williams reported he would be but -of -town from February 12-28,
1995. Vice Mayor Measles will handle the February 15 meeting.
Williams also reported (in response to the newspaper article in
the Peninsula Clarion regarding the Kenai Animal Shelter) he had
conversations in Juneau regarding the Kenai Animal Shelter.
There may be a possibility to build a new facility if funding can
be received from Juneau and the City of Kenai.
Williams reminded Council of the special meeting scheduled for
February 8 to discuss the proposed ambulance fee.
Smalley stated he supported the comments on the Animal
Shelter and suggested to assist Council and others to understand
the needs at the Shelter, councilmembers or other department
employees could spend time at the Shelter.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Kenai City Council
THROUGH: Thomas J. Manninen, City Manager
FROM: Charles A. Brown, Finance Director
DATE: February 7, 1995 e,4
SUBJECT: Insurance Broker RFP
Attached is the Request for Proposals for insurance broker
services. As indicated in Section IX. A., the first draft
of this RFP was sent to local brokers for comments. Cary,
Tom, and I reviewed the brokers' comments; some were
incorporated into the RFP, and some were not. While some
suggestions from brokers were not included in the RFP, no
broker appears to believe that this selection method is
unworkable. All brokers seem to believe this RFP will
result in a fair selection process.
Tonight, February 15, 1995, we are asking the Council to
authorize issuance of the RFP.
CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA
Request for Proposals
Insurance Broker services
FY96
February, 1995
I. PURPOSE
A. This request for proposals (RFP) is being issued to
select an insurance broker or brokers (or agents) for
the City of Kenai. The City expects that the
appointment(s) will be for a period of 3 years covering
the City's fiscal years FY96, 97 and 98, although the
City may terminate any broker appointments at any
anniversary date.
B. There are two distinct aspects of this RFP. The City
desires to appoint 1 broker for all of its property and
casualty lines. The City also desires to appoint 1
broker or agent for its employee benefit plans.
Nothing here prohibits 1 broker/agent from performing
both tasks.
II. INSTRUCTIONS TO PROPOSERS
A. All proposals must be submitted to:
Charles A. Brown, Finance Director
City of Kenai
210 Fidalgo, Suite 200
Kenai, Alaska 99611-7794
B. Questions or comments regarding this proposal shall be
directed to Charles A. Brown at the above address.

above instructions.
III. LOCAL BROKER REQUIRED
The City of Kenai will accept proposals from brokers/agents
whose principal place of business is within the city limits
of Kenai or within 20 miles of the City. A local broker is
permitted to form a joint venture or enter into a
co -brokerage arrangement with another broker or a national
brokerage firm for purposes of greater access to insurance
1
markets or for other related services. The broker(s)
selected must maintain a local office throughout the term
of their appointment(s).
IV. MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
Proposals will be accepted from local brokers with these
minimum qualifications:
A. Licensed as an insurance broker or agent in the State
of Alaska, with at least 5 years of experience.
B. Currently maintain a local place of business.
C. Experience with municipal accounts (property and
casualty proposals only).
D. Errors and omissions insurance with a minimum limit of
$1,000,000 per occurrence.
E. Experience in providing services similar to those
outlined in this RFP.
F. Access to sufficient markets to obtain a variety of
quotes for coverages from A -rated (Best's Key Rating
Guide) companies.
V. INSURANCE COVERAGES TO BE PLACED

place at the following estimated annual premiums. It is
expected that similar coverages will be required in the
future, although the City's needs may change.
A. Property and Casualty:

B. Employee Benefit Plans:

VI. REQUIREMENTS OF BROKER(S)
A. To periodically review and evaluate the City's risk
management program and to suggest alternatives.
B. To solicit quotes from an adequate number of quality
insurance companies and compare and evaluate coverages
on each line.
C. To bind, order, and deliver in a timely fashion
policies of coverage.
D. To periodically review the City's contract and lease
files for insurance requirements and certificates of
insurance.
VII. COMPENSATION
Each proposal must contain a detailed discussion and
commitment as to compensation for these services. The City
is interested in exploring a variety of compensation
methods, which may include commissions, fixed fees, or a
combination of commissions and fixed fees. The City desires
to provide adequate compensation that is cost effective.
A. Brokers desiring compensation by commission must
disclose in their proposal an estimate of such
commissions, by line of coverage.
B. Brokers desiring compensation by fixed fee must state
the amount of such fee, and the timing of payment, in
their proposal.
C. Brokers desiring a combination of commissions and fixed
fees must clearly identify the lines of coverage to be
included in each compensation method, with estimates of
commissions and the amount of fee clearly explained.
D. Because the City may appoint two brokers (one for
property and casualty, and one for employee benefit
plans), any proposer who desires to act as the City's
sole broker for all insurance, must disclose
compensation amounts for each of these two types of
insurance separately. The City must be able to
determine the proposed amount of compensation for the
property and casualty lines independently from the
employee benefit plans.
3
E. For any insurance ultimately purchased under a fixed
fee basis, no commissions, either direct, contingent,
or deferred, shall be earned.

(greater than 5%) stockholders.
C. Names of office principals and their experience in
commercial and municipal insurance, along with
professional qualifications.

and qualifications.

access and from which you are able to obtain quotes for
each line of insurance identified in Section V.
Include the "Best's" rating for each company.
F. A statement that discloses whether or not any agency
contracts or agreements with insurance companies have
been cancelled or terminated within the past 3 years.
If so, identify the companies.
G. Based upon your knowledge of the City of Kenai,
generally outline how you would approach the handling
of this account and estimate the amount of time you
anticipate having to allocate to the account. Offer
any evaluations or comments regarding our current
coverages and suggest improvements to our insurance
program. This is your opportunity to explain what you
can offer the City and to persuade the City to appoint
you as its broker. The City's insurance policies are
available in the Finance Director's office for your
review.
H. Statements necessary to comply with this RFP:
1. Local broker - Section III.

C. Place all layers of coverage in concurrent policies, so
no gaps of coverage occur, or advise the City if this
is not possible.
D. Whenever the broker must receive commissions from an
insurer, deduct an equivalent amount from any related
fixed fee. If the cost of an insurance policy is the
same with or without a commission, the broker will take
the commission and reduce any related fixed fee
accordingly.
E. Disclose all commissions received on the City's
account.
F. Not assign or transfer the City's account, or any
portion of the City's business, without the City's

IISCO after the council packet was completed. The vendor, B & W Technologies,

to be added to Water - Improvements Other Than Buildings. The city would like
to purchase 4 chlorine detectors, 4 controllers, and 2 steel enclosures direct from
B & W Technologies. A detector and controller would go in each chlorine building
and well house.

CITY OF KENAI
FROM: KEVIN MORIN
SUBJECT: CHLORINE DETECTION AT WELL SITES
Dear Mr. Kornelius
I am pleased to offer the following itemized list comprising a fixed price bid for the
design, installation, testing, and completion of a system of Chlorine detection at both City
of Kenai Water well sites.
Scope
This proposal describes the installation of one Chlorine leak detection system at each
water well site, including local alarming, and tie-in to the City's telemetry system. Each
system will have one sensor [registering in parts -per -million CL2 in air] in the Chlorine
building connected with electrical wiring [installed to NEC] to a central controller, and
one in the pump house main building.
The controller will energize a horn, a rotating beacon light, and a contact to the PLC. A
push button control will silence the horn and both of the other events will respond to the
sensor's reading; clearing when CL2 levels have dropped below the alarm point. The PLC
will pass the status of the contact [equal to a CL2 alarm] to the existing system.
Time is also proposed to modify the PLC software and PC interface software located at the
Police Station and the Waste Water treatment plant.
Design
IISCO the services and expertise of a PE , Mr. Allen Houtz, to layout and design the
installation and provide software engineering. The work will be recorded on one `D' sized
drawing showing the schematic of components, and a plan view of both sites with
equipment locations and conduit routing. The drawing will be made available in both
plotted form and diskette in *.DWG file format, from AutoCAD rel.12 C3 or; rel. 13 as
needed.
Materials and general layout of components
We propose to run the wiring inside the two buildings along walls, in EMT, following
good practice using certified workman. One sensor will be mounted in the Chlorine
building at a location selected by Mr. Houtz , in a housing rated by the manufacturer for
the environment. The other sensor will be located in the pump building. One instrument
rated pair of wires will connect the sensors to the controller. The controller will be
mounted to the wall in each main building, as near as space allows, next to the existing
telemetry enclosure. Wiring will run from one enclosure to another in EMT. The horn
will be mounted outside the building and be weather proof. It will be intended to notify
the site location of and event not to reach regularly occupied buildings a distance away.
The beacon light will be mounted on the side of each well house facing the vehicle access
- gate at each site. Connection to each alarm output device will be by wiring mounted in
EMT. Both building penetrations will be sealed in keeping with good trades practice.
A wind sock will be installed at the main pump house, an outdoor silence button in
addition toe the indoor button will be weather proof , located near the entry door.
An optional freeze alarm is quoted to defend the sensor in case of temperature drop and
calibration shifts that may occur.
Software Modifications
Both RTU's will require a small modification to the PLC software to accept and pass the
new Chlorine alarm. This work will be done by to at Mr. Houtz direction.
Both terminals for system display, one at the police Station and one at the Waste Water
Treatment plant, will require adjustments to handle the new alarms and displays. Time is
included for this engineering design and programming.

CAP Taxiway
At the 11/23/94 Council meeting, the Kenai Airport Commission asked Council to support
the construction of a paved taxiway and parking apron to serve the CAP hangar, using
Airport funds. Council moved to support the project, but requested a soils investigation
prior to expending funds.
We have to date, completed the soils work and preliminary plans and specifications.
Henry Knackstedt (engineer) and Roy Whitford (surveyor) have volunteered their time,
being squadron members, to help prepare the project for bid. If Council chooses to go
ahead with the project, Rachel and I will finish the design. The following cost estimate
is based on excavating to natural sand (5' in this area due to the area being built up with
other material).
I will have Finance include an ordinance to appropriate funds for introduction at the
2/15/95 Council meeting, should Council decide to continue.

MEMORANDUM
To: Kenai City Council
From: Kenai Airport Commission
Date: November 18, 1994
RE: Extension of Taxiway F to CAP Hangar
The Airport Commission recommends using airport funds to
construct a paved taxiway extension to the CAP hangar from the

Subject: Kenai Civil Air Patrol Taxiway
Request for Funding for Taxiway Improvements
Commissioners:
The Kenai Civil Air Patrol (CAP) requests funding for extending
the paving of taxiway "F" approximately 450' south to the CAP
hangar. The CAP hangar is located on airport land which is
reserved for CAP use. See the attached location map from the
Kenai Airport Land Use Map.
The CAP is an emergency response resource which helps support
city, borough, state & federal emergency organizations. We are
probably best known for our search and rescue efforts in locating
downed or missing aircraft, but we also search for lost or
missing hunters, hikers, fishermen and most recently have been
working in support of the Alaska State Troopers. To succeed in
our missions, it is imperative that we be able to launch our
aircraft immediately since life and property may be in jeopardy.
We believe the City of Kenai has a first class airport, however,
we have the only taxiway on the airport which is not usable year
round. For several weeks during the spring, we are unable to use
our taxiway due to extreme muddy conditions. During muddy but
marginally usable times we taxi our aircraft through the mud
which causes some damage to propellers and other aircraft
components. During dry times of the year, windy conditions
prevail which tend to blow dust and sand from the CAP ramp area
into the runway and taxiway system. According to the City
Engineer it would be a very good idea to reduce the wind blown
dust that is generated from our area.
CAP Taxiway
November 8, 1994
Kenai CAP
Kenai Alaska
I understand that the City may consider funding the project out
of airport funds with Council approval. In our opinion it is in
the City's best interest to fund this project for the betterment
of the airport and the community CAP squadron.
An engineer and a surveyor in our squadron have produced a
preliminary design of the taxiway (attached). The taxiway will
be 30' across and approximately 450' long with a small staging
pad in front of the hangar. Our engineer member is willing to
donate his time to work with the City Engineer and produce ready
to bid plans and specifications. The design is already about 70%
complete so little additional effort is needed. We estimate the
construction cost to be approximately $50,000. This figure could
vary depending on the final design. In donating our time,
approximately $5,000 will be saved in design and survey fees.
Please consider our request for this much needed taxiway and
present it to the City Council. I will be available at the next
Council meeting to discuss any questions that they and the Mayor
may have.

FROM: Keith Kornelis, Public Works Director
DATE: February 9, 1995
SUBJECT: Overtime in Public Works
Public Works requests additional funds for unexpected overtime.
STREETS + $7000
SHOP + $400
This budget was based on the many past years of relatively low snow fall. We have had
record snow falls this year. We have also had snow falls on weekends and holidays,
which causes additional overtime. The shop has been called in when needed to repair
equipment during these snow falls, thus causing the shop to have additional overtime.
We also had some after hour problems with the fuel pumps.
PUBLIC WORKS ADMIN. + $700
A lot of the overtime in Public Works Admin. is from working on the Kenai Spur Highway
project for DOT/PF. The city will be reimbursed for this work, but the funds will go into
the general fund, not back into this account. We will probably need additional overtime
to work on the contaminated soils projects, depending on when the contractors work.
ANIMAL CONTROL +$2000
The case load for this 94/95 budget has increased more than we budgeted causing
excess overtime. The Kenai Police Department has had more requests for service after
hours than anticipated. The call outs for dog bites has increased substantially. The Chief
Animal Control Officer will be unavailable for 7 weeks, thus additional overtime will be
needed by his assistant.

notifies Lessee of such acceptance in writing. Lessee hereby
acknowledges that Lessor shall be reletting as Lessee's agent
and Lessee hereby agrees to pay to Lessor on demand any defi-

STATEMENT OF LEGISLATIVE POSITIONS
The Kenai Peninsula Caucus is a nonprofit corporation organized under laws of the State of Alaska. The
Caucus was organized in 1987 for the general purpose of promoting the physical, social and economic
well being of the Kenai Peninsula Borough. Its specific purposes may include, but shall not be limited to:
charitable; benevolent; educational; civic; patriotic; political; social; and cultural activities.
Voting members of the organization are representatives of Municipal Governments and Chambers of
Commerce of the Kenai Peninsula Borough.
An objective of the Caucus is to secure legislation at the local, state and federal levels which will be
beneficial to inhabitants of the Kenai Peninsula Borough and to oppose legislation injurious thereto; but
to remain non -partisan in the conduct of its affairs. The Caucus does not endorse candidates for elected
or appointed positions at any level of government.
Two weeks written notice must be given to each voting member of the Caucus before it may consider a
legislative position or resolution. An act of the Board of Directors must be approved by at least 75% of the
Directors present at a meeting. The intent of this bylaw requirement is to assure that any action taken by
the Caucus will represent a substantial consensus of opinion within the Kenai Peninsula Borough.
This brochure provides a synopsis of the legislative positions developed by the Caucus through input
from municipal officials and directors of the local Chamber of Commerce organizations. Each position
represents legislative recommendations of the Caucus. These positions will be actively lobbied for by the
Board of Directors on behalf of its membership to the Alaska Municipal League, the Alaska State Chamber
of Commerce, the Local, State and Federal governments.

PART I
RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT
A. INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT FORUM
The Caucus supports an initiative of the Kenai Peninsula Borough to sponsor a forum to discuss the
concerns of various industries and the public in dealing with competing interests arising from future
resource development in the Borough. The Caucus encourages participation in this forum from
representatives of the oil industry, commercial fishing organizations, the sport fishing industry, the forestry
industry, the tourism industry, state and federal agencies and citizens at large.
B. OIL AND GAS DEVELOPMENT
1. Arctic National Wildlife Refuae. The Congress of the United States should open the Coastal
Plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) to environmentally responsible oil and gas exploration,
development and production. The State Administration and Legislature are encouraged to continue an all
out effort in promoting opening of ANWR pursuant to terms of the statehood compact whereby 90% of
the severance taxes would be shared with the State of Alaska.
2. Oil Export Ban. The federal ban on export of Alaska North Slope crude oil should be
repealed. Lifting the oil export ban could create new investment for energy production, jobs in the
maritime industry and add at least $86 million a year to the state treasury.
3. Promotion. The Caucus encourages the State of Alaska to promote responsible oil and gas
exploration and development through:
a. A stable taxation policy;
b. Easing of permitting regulations to make possible the development of marginal
discoveries and sub -economic oil accumulations; and,
c. Dealing with critical habitat and fishing corridor issues Qnor to offering tracts for lease.
4. Oil Sgoll Contingeey Plans. The Caucus encourages the State of Alaska to insist upon oil
spill contingency plans which will take into consideration the unique geographic circumstances of each
area where oil is transported by marine vessels. In other words, plans developed for Cook Inlet must be
tailored to the Cook Inlet area, rather than imposing a state-wide contingency plan modeled after plans
implemented for Prince William Sound or for any other national/international area.
5. Support Natural Gas Ventures. The Kenai Caucus supports any meaningful endeavors which
may remove road -blocks, aid in the search for U.S. and foreign markets, or develop practical, cost effective
stipulations for construction of natural gas transportation and manufacturing projects within the Kenai
Peninsula Borough.
6. Kenai Peninsula as a Pipeline Terminus. While the Caucus supports Valdez as a terminus for
a pipeline from the North Slope, strong effort should be made to intertie the Kenai Peninsula, particularly
the Nikiski area, with any natural gas pipeline which is extended from the North Slope.
C. TOURISM
1. Marketing Plans. The development of tourism marketing plans is necessary to make Alaska
and the Kenai Peninsula Borough a year around destination, but particularly in the fall, winter and spring.
3 Adopted 1 /27/1995
1995 Legislative Positions Kenai Peninsula Caucus
2. State Fundina. The legislature should appropriate to the Alaska Division of Tourism a
sufficient budget for the continuation of its very successful state-wide marketing programs, including
matching grants for Tourist Attraction Development and Visitor Information Services. In addition, the
legislature should appropriate sufficient funds to the Division of Parks & Outdoor Recreation to develop
facilities within the Kenai Peninsula Borough which have a demonstrated visitor value.
3. Borough Funding. The Borough Assembly should continue to appropriate a sufficient
budget for the implementation of marketing plans to promote the Kenai Peninsula Borough as a visitor
destination in joint venture with the Borough Economic Development District and its Tourism Marketing
Council, local chambers of commerce and municipalities.
D. TIMBER
1. Land Use Plans. A strong commitment must be made to timber management as a prime use in
state and national forests and on property owned by the Kenai Peninsula Borough. Viable State and
Borough timber sale programs should be developed with firm five year sale schedules to encourage and
facilitate commercial timber harvest.
2. Spruce Bark Beetle. The Spruce Bark Beetle disease is threatening timber throughout the
Kenai Peninsula. Federal, State and Borough natural resource agencies are encouraged to schedule
timber sale and management programs specifically designed to eradicate this disease.
E. FISH & GAME
1. Subsistence. The State Legislature is urged to resolve subsistence issues where they are
conflicting with Federal law and the State constitution so that the state may retain control over
management of Alaska fish and game resources.
2. Export Limits. The Caucus will oppose proposals to establish limits on fish and game which a
sport angler may export out of Alaska.
3. Board of Fisheries. The Caucus recognizes and respects the authority of the Alaska Board of
Fisheries to manage the fishery resources of the State of Alaska. Allocation decisions by the Board
should continue to be based upon scientific and biological evidence which results in the sustained yield
of the resource. The Caucus opposes any municipal or legislative action which would interfere with the
Board of Fisheries' allocation process.
F. COAL DEVELOPMENT
1. Tax Increment Financing. The State Legislature should amend tax increment financing
statutes to enable Second Class Boroughs to sell revenue bonds for financing of public owned
infrastructure necessary to coal development.
2. Strategic Plan. The State is encouraged to adopt a strategic plan which would make Alaska
coal competitive with coal from other world markets.
4 Adopted 1 /27/1995
1995 Legislative Positions
Kenai Peninsula Caucus
PART II
EDUCATION
A. OPERATING EXPENDITURES
1. Constitutional Responsibilities. The Alaska State Constitution requires that the State shall
establish and maintain a system of public education, open to all the children of the State. The Caucus
supports the State's assumption of financial responsibility for "basic" education operating expenses.
2. _Equal State Funding for Basic Education. The Legislature should establish a definition of
"basic education" and establish an equitable funding formula that ensures this basic education is
provided. Defining basic education is the key to development of a fair formula for state funding of
education. The development of this formula should involve the municipalities or districts.
3. Local Autonomy. Full funding should not inhibit the rights of local government to supplement
state or federal funding for education purposes beyond "basic needs" or to administer local schools. No
mandates should be implemented without 100% funding from the State.
4. Forward Funding. The Caucus supports the use of "forward funding" to provide for basic
education so that local governments and school districts will know how much funding will be available from
the State prior to April 1 st of each year.
5. Funding Formula. The Caucus will oppose any funding formula proposal which mandates
kcal sharing on a sliding scale based upon assessed valuation as a measure of "ability to pay". Rather, the
formula should attempt to "equalize" expenditures per student.
B. BONDED INDEBTEDNESS FOR SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION
1. Debt Reimbursement. The Caucus urges the State Legislature to establish a trust fund to
fully fund the school debt reimbursement program at levels provided by statute under former programs of
municipal school construction assistance in accordance with the State's responsibilities under the Alaska
Constitution.
2. School General Obligation Bonds. If the State fails to establish a trust fund to finance school
debt reimbursement, the Caucus supports placing a proposition on the ballot for the next state-wide
general election which would enable the State of Alaska to sell its general obligation bonds to refinance all
existing municipal school debt.
C. SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION GRANT PROGRAM
1. Fundina. The Caucus encourages the legislature to formulate a construction grant program
for schools to be financed by the state's general obligation bonds.
2. Local Priorities. School construction grants should be provided for those priority school
construction projects identified by the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District.
Priority Project Description
1 Central Peninsula Middle School
2 Kenai Elementary School
3 Nikolaevsk School Addition
5 Adopted 1/27/1995
1995 Legislative Positions Kenai Peninsula Caucus
D. UNIVERSITY OF ALASKA PROGRAMS
1. Airline Fire Fighter School. The Caucus urges the University of Alaska to locate an Airline Fire
Fighter School in Kenai.
2. Marine Research Facilities. The Caucus opposes use of existing funds of the University of
Alaska for new marine research facilities at any location unless a comparable increase in appropriations is
provided for existing facilities to preclude dilution of funding for the marine research facilities at Seward.
3. University Research Vessel Docking Facilities. The Caucus supports the use of state funds to
construct a docking facility in Seward for a new arctic research vessel.
4. Cold Water Training & Recovery School. The Caucus supports actions of the City of Kenai
and the University of Alaska in locating a Cold Water Helicopter Training and Recovery School at Kenai
Airport.
PART III
TAXATION AND FINANCE
A. STATE BUDGET
1. State 012erating Budget. The legislature should reduce the State's operating budget, except
appropriations for existing local school debt service reimbursement should be maintained at 100% of the
reimbursement entitlement and appropriations for highway maintenance should be restored to levels
prevailing in 1986, adjusted for inflation.
a. Where shared revenues are provided to local governments and school districts, the
assistance should be conditional upon some degree of local tax effort.
b. When reductions are made in municipal assistance, revenue sharing, school foundation
assistance and other forms of local government assistance, equivalent reductions should be made in the
total operating budget for state agencies.
2. State Capital Budget. The capital budget must never be less than the amount required to
attract matching federal funds. The capital budget should give priority to projects which will minimize local
government operating expenses and promote economic development.
3. Alaska Permanent Fund. The State legislature is encouraged to place a constitutional
amendment on the ballot for the next general election which would: dedicate all of the State of Alaska's
future natural resource revenues to the Permanent Fund; transfer assets of the various state reserve
funds to the Permanent Fund; and, specify a percentage of the market value of the Permanent Fund to
be withdrawn and appropriated by the legislature for financing state government (aka the "CREMO PLAN"
or a variation thereof).
4. State Mandated Local Tax Exem tip ons. If reimbursements to local governments for state -
mandated local tax exemptions (such as the mandated property tax exemption for Senior Citizens and
Disabled Veterans) are not fully funded, the exemptions should be repealed or made a local option.
B. BOROUGH BUDGET
The Caucus will communicate its positions by resolution on topics pertaining to borough financial plans,
budget policies and local taxes.
6 Adopted 1/27/1995
1995 Legislative Positions Kenai Peninsula Caucus
PART IV
TRANSPORTATION AND PUBLIC FACILITIES
A. ROADS AND HIGHWAYS
Priority should be given to highway improvements and maintenance on roads that connect population
centers, serve as school bus routes, provide access to seaports, visitor attractions and economically viable
resource areas. State appropriations for highway maintenance should be restored to levels prevailing in
1986 (adjusted for inflation) by increasing the motor fuel tax.
1. Transportation Study Committee. The Caucus urges the Borough to establish a
Transportation Study Committee including representation from cities, chambers of commerce and
"citizens -at -large" to formulate and update a Borough Wide Transportation Plan and nominate projects for
funding from the Intermodel Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA). A share of the State of
Alaska's ISTEA funding should be shared with the local governments of the Kenai Peninsula Borough to
improve the Borough's collector routes and address other transportation needs, including safety projects,
bicycle/pedestrian facilities and other projects which qualify as "transportation enhancements".
2. Additive Alternates. When bids are sought for highway and road projects, the Department of
Transportation should include other priority projects in the vicinity as additive alternates in the solicitation
so these projects may be accelerated if the base bid comes in less than estimates.
3. TransRortation Financing. The Caucus supports placing a proposition on the ballot for the
next state-wide general election which would enable the State to sell its General Obligation Bonds to
accelerate financing for high priority transportation improvements. Debt service on these bonds should
be financed from future federal highway aid appropriations and an increase in the State motor fuel tax.
4. Major Highways and Urban Roads. The Seward Highway, Sterling Highway, Kenai Spur Road
(from Sterling Highway to Captain Cook State Park), Kalifomsky Beach Road and the Bridge Access Road
should comprise the system of major highways and urban roads on the Kenai Peninsula for which
improvements should be designed and constructed by the State of Alaska.
5. Major Highway and Urban Road Priorities. Priorities for the improvement of major highways
and urban roads on the Kenai Peninsula are as follows:
1 Kenai Spur Road (Soldotna to Kenai)
2 Seward Highway (MP 53 to 65.5 Rehabilitation)
3 Sterling Highway (Anchor Point to Homer)
4 Kalifomsky Beach Road (Soldotna to Bridge Access Road)
1 Seward Highway (MP 0 to MP 36 Rehabilitation)
2 Sterling Highway (Spur Road to Kalifomsky Beach Road - Soldotna Urban)
3 Sterling Highway (MP 30 to MP 60 - Cooper Landing)
A project to provide lighting along the Sterling Highway from Sterling to Soldotna to mitigate
moose -vehicle accidents is presently identified as a priority project on the State Transportation
Improvement Plan. The Caucus suggests that there are other projects identified in this
document which are of higher priority.
7 Adopted 1/27/1995

1995 Legislative Positions Kenai Peninsula Caucus
PART V
LAND USE
A. DESIGNATION OF WILDERNESS AREAS
The Caucus opposes any further designation of "wilderness lands" within the Kenai Fjords National Park.
B. WETLANDS LEGISLATION
The Caucus opposes "no net loss" wetlands policies which would establish an absolute prohibition of any
further use of wetlands in Alaska. Wetlands policies in Alaska should be governed by local zoning or
coastal zone management programs. The Caucus supports rules that would provide an exception in
Alaska from wetlands mitigation regulations that apply elsewhere in the United States.
C. NIKISKI INDUSTRIAL ZONE
An area for industrial uses should be set aside in the Nikiski area to facilitate the sale and development of
property for uses that will create new jobs and economic activity.

11. PUBLIC COMMENT
Dave Richards, resident of Soldotna and current President of CIPSA addressed the board with
some concerns which he would like the board to consider.
1) Regulation (actually a permit stipulation) restricting parking at Bings Landing and Izaak
Walton SRA by guides from May 15 - August 15.
2) Permit Stipulation regarding the right to search a guide's motor.
3) Guide Permit Fees.
Suzanne will prepare a presentation for the board with some history on the Guide Permit
stipulations. It will be put on the agenda for the next meeting.
Chris suggested that after a presentation, if the board would like to work on it further through
a committee process, we could set up a short term committee to deal with it.
Ill. NEW BUSINESS
A. Quartz Creek Land Issue: Roy Dudley, Land Management Officer for the Kenai
Peninsula Borough, spoke to the board on the mining and trespass dwelling issue in Cooper
Landing. The community of Cooper Landing and the miners have asked that this issue be
brought to a resolution. They were not getting a clear response from the Division of Mining
KENAI RIVER SPECIAL MANAGEMENT AREA ADVISORY 2
BOARD MINUTES - January 12, 199S
on the land situation. Roy contracted with Jay Sullivan of Landfleld Services for an initial
report and subsequently contracted with David Manzer, President of Alaska Land Status Inc.
Roy provided the board with a background summary. He explained that the Borough has
been receiving lands from the state as part of a municipal entitlement. Roy referred to a map
indicating the lands the borough selected in the Cooper Landing area under the borough
entitlement program. The purpose of the selection is to provide sites for public facilities and
future community expansion and to provide a means of income to local governments for local
community development.
The State has received tentative approval from the federal government for these lands.
Tentative approval is a binding contract for conveyance of lands pending a survey. While the
state has transferred the lands in Cooper Landing to the Borough via a Final Decision, the
state retained management rights over the subsurface mineral estate. The state also retained
400 foot corridors along seven streams - Quartz Creek, Daves Creek, Crescent Creek, Dry
Creek, Bean Creek, Cooper Creek and Shackleford Creek. Because of the retention of the
mineral estate, a split estate is created. The borough is the surface owner, the State retained
the mineral estate.
The Borough accepted the lands subject to valid existing mining claims. Roy explained that
mining claims allow for the extraction of minerals but not sand and gravel, and that the state
has ruled that year round residences or storage buildings are not necessary on the claims near
Cooper Landing.
The Manzer report states there are currently 27 administratively active state mining claims
located within the Borough's Cooper Landing selection. Of the 27, three claims will be
closed down by the Division of Mining for failure to file annual labor and pay annual rental
in 1994. Additionally, quite a few of these claims have structures on them. According to
the Borough Assessor's records, there are nine structures located on the 24 mining claims in
Cooper Landing. The Borough is currently working on a policy to address the issue of the
trespass structures on the mining claims. The Borough administration is proposing to use the
Division of Mining's decision to deny structures as a basis for the Borough policy. The state
will deny a mining operation permit until the Borough issues a surface land use permit.
All the borough selection lands are open to mineral entry until such time as there is a mineral
closure order from the Commissioner of the Department of Natural Resources, or the
Legislature closes the lands to mineral entry.
Chris explained that the Kenai River Special Management Area is closed to mineral entry,
within the water column and the designated state lands. It is possible, however, that someone
could make a claim outside the KRSMA boundaries. And since the Cooper Landing creek
corridors are not transferred to Parks yet, they are still open to mineral entry.
KENAI RIVER SPECIAL MANAGEMENT AREA ADVISORY 3
BOARD MINUTES - January 12, 1995
Suzanne explained that an ILMA (Interagency Land Management Assignment) has been
applied for, but no Mineral Closing Order has been requested for the creek corridors.
Dale stated that there was a claim filed January l on Crescent Creek. The nine structures are
the only ones which have been actually located. The photographs will show additional
structures.
Dale stressed that, in the past, ADF8tG stated they were not going to support a policy of
closure. Dale felt it should be reexamined by ADF8tG. Quartz Creek is a major sockeye
producer in the Cook Inlet area and Crescent Creek has a very significant king population.
To protect these streams, the ADF8tG should attempt to file a request for mineral closure.
Pat asked if DPOR has an opportunity to review the .impacts of the mining activity, or to
comment on mining operation plans?
Suzanne stated that DPOR is in a Catch-22 situation. These mining claims already exist in
an area that Is to be transferred Parks. In the event that an APMA is filed, we are given an
opportunity to review it.
After further discussion, Sam made a motion that the Board President draft a letter to the
Division of Mining stating that the KRSMA Advisory Board recommends an immediate
closure of mineral claims within the 400' corridor along the following creeks, Quartz Creek,
Daves Creek, Crescent Creek, Dry Creek, Bean Creek, Cooper Creek and Shackleford Creek.
Seconded by Jim Richardson.
Duane asked that the motion be amended to not limit the closure to the 400' because there
is land outside that area, for example on Kenai Lake, that DPOR will also be transferred
management authority over. He would like to see those lands also withdrawn.
Sam accepted this as a friendly amendment .
Motion passed
B. Habitat Resolution - Stewart Seaberg, ADFuG
Dennis called on Jim Richardson to run this portion of the meeting.
Dennis addressed the board on his resolution. He explained how each classification would
be established which would be an extension to habitat classifications in the 309 study. The
309 Study evaluated sections of the river based on characteristics of the bank.
Dennis's three classifications were based on the proximity of the water to the most valuable
of these habitat units.
KENAI RIVER SPECIAL MANAGEMENT AREA ADVISORY 4
BOARD MINUTES - January 12, 1995
Classification # 1 -Lowest water level
Classification #2 - Average water level
Classification #3 - Highest water level
Classification # 1 would afford the green banks the most protection, #2 would allow limited
access with walkways and stairways into the water and #3 would afford minimal protection.
These classifications could be used to evaluate which areas would be targeted for public uses.
Dennis stated the reasoning behind developing only three classes was to create a simple
approach to start the process.
Stewart explained that the 309 Study addresses various habitats as being more productive
than others. The Study's assertion is that the summer months are the most critical time
period. The fish are evenly distributed throughout the whole river and they don't tend to
congregate in specific habitats.
Stewart felt that by singling out an area as less valuable than the next, an area could be
sacrificed as not being important and it could be used against us.
Suzanne commented that the 309 Study is a specific habitat indicator for one species of fish,
the juvenile Chinook. It is not a total study of what all the other fish in the river need.
While it indicates habitat units for king salmon, this is not necessarily going to be the same
habitat for another fish. Vegetation and cover is the most important factor for all of the
species. Suzanne felt that we are trying to integrate philosophy to protect our public lands
and manage them in a way that we don't destroy that cover. The 309 Study is just a
beginning. There is more that needs to be done.
In closing, Dennis asked the board for support in integrating his resolution ideas into the 309
Study.
Stewart advised that he would be willing to work on fine-tuning and integrating the
classifications into the 309 Study with the help of DPOR and come up with a resolution that
would help with the permitting issues on the river as well as access points.
The board members spoke in support of Dennis's ideas.
Jim made a motion that DPOR draft a letter to Lance Trasky, Habitat Division, ADF8TG,
explaining that the board is interested in learning more about the more productive areas and
what parameters affect these areas. Seconded by Ben.
Motion passed with no objection.
KENAI RIVER SPECIAL MANAGEMENT AREA ADVISORY 5
BOARD MINUTES - January 12, 1995
C. Resolution 95-1, Dale Bondurant
Dale presented a resolution to the board and asked that they support the retention of lands
in the Russian River confluence area in public ownership. Discussion followed on the where
the site is located and how the Native land claim filing came about.
Duane explained to the board that the land is part of the Cook Inlet Regional Inc. (CIRI) land
selection which encompasses both National Forest and U.S. Fish a Wildlife Service land. The
selection was flied over 20 years ago and it has expanded since the original filing. It includes
the confluence of the Russian River and the Kenai River, 400 acres on the National Forest
and 1200 acres on the Refuge. It includes Russian River Campground, both sides of the
Russian River and extends to the west onto the Refuge.
The U.S. Forest Service and the U.S. Fish 8z Wildlife Service have two different positions on
the issue. Duane stated that the three agencies which manage the upper Kenai River are
currently working with CIRI and others to come up with a common vision for the area.
After further discussion, Sam made a motion to table Resolution 95-1 for a future meeting
when CIRI would be available to present their management plan ideas. Seconded by Peggy.
Motion passed with no opposition with Duane and Bill Kent abstaining.
1V. OLD BUSINESS
A. Board Vacancies
Chris stated that five seats have expired on 1 / 1 /95, Kent Hueser, Dale Bondurant, Dennis
Randa, Claudia Knickerbocker and Warren Hoflich. Claudia does not wish to be reappointed.
With the board's approval, the three applications that have been received to date will be
submitted; these being Bill Stockwell, James H. Richardson and Jeff King, along with the four
members who wish to be reappointed.
B. Western Geophysical Permit Update
Suzanne advised the board that DPOR has received a Proposed Consistency Determination
on the permit which explains that Westem Geophysical will not be allowed to use airguns
within the Kenai River drainage. They will be allowed to use vibroseising utilizing explosives
on lands near the lower river area. There are stipulations requiring them to repair any
damage to vegetation, refill holes and restoration work. The ADF8XG has stated that if future
research indicates that they can conduct air gun use without affecting juvenile fish that limited
use may be permitted.
KENAI RIVER SPECIAL MANAGEMENT AREA ADVISORY ' 6
BOARD MINUTES - January 12, 1995
C. Kenai River Overlay District Update
DPOR and ADFeXG Habitat Division have been working with Borough Assemblyman
Drathman to develop a tiered approach for the Overlay District We have consistently
continued to work within the guidelines in the Comprehensive Management Plan. At the
next meeting, a draft will be available for the public and committee to work through which
will contain more information on allowed uses and what the tiered concept will be within the
overlay district. The next meeting will be held January 17 at 1:00 p.m. This meeting will
deal with boundaries and regulations, prohibitive and approved restrictive uses.
D. Cooper Landing ILMA
Suzanne reported that over 400 acres of land was finally transferred to Parks via ILMA in
December! This includes land along the upper river and Kenai Lake, but does not include
the creek corridors discussed earlier. She thanked the board for their support and continued
interest in obtaining the Cooper Landing ILMA.
Sam inquired about the progress in developing a public restroom and boat ramp site in
Cooper Landing.
Chris advised that on January 26, she would be meeting with the Cooper Landing
Community Club to discuss the progress. This project is being funded by Federal DJ money
and Federal ISTEA money. It will include a boat ramp, parking area at boat ramp and a
separate parking area for highway travellers using the restroom. The boat ramp will be at the
existing bridge site. The land is located just do%%mstream from the bridge, a 2-3 acre parcel
of state land and a private parcel appraximately 4 acres in size which will be purchased.
There will also be a viewing deck with interpretive information and a boardwalk leading down
to the river near the boat ramp. Site plans will be made available at the next board meeting.
Sam also asked for the status of The Pillars.
Chris stated that more information would be available at the next meeting for this project
too. Design problems have led to some delays, but it is expected that the Corps permit
process can begin again soon. This project will entail a 100 foot long floating dock, access
ramps, a double launch ramp, rest rooms, parking and an access road from the Spur
Highway. If all goes well, part of the project will begin in the fall, with completion expected
in the spring of 1996.
V. PUBLIC COMMENT:
Bill Stockwell of Cooper Landing spoke on the mining issue in Cooper Landing. He stated
that there has been no management in the area since the Forest Service turned It over to the
KENAI RIVER SPECIAL MANAGEMENT AREA ADVISORY 7
BOARD MINUTES - January 12, 1995
State. The last time that the Division of Mining inspected anything in the area was in 1986.
It is really important to get this land transfer to DPOR passed through. There are spawning
of three different kinds of salmon in the streams in question and it is a very fast growing area
for Dolly Varden sport fishing. There will be a Borough meeting in Cooper Landing on
January 31 to discuss this.
VI. ADJOURNMENT
A. Board Comments
Duane commented on the Upper River Cooperative Management Plan. At today's meeting
a public information meeting was scheduled for Saturday, February 11 in Cooper Landing.
The purpose of the meeting will be to bring interested parties together to generate ideas
concerning the management of the Upper River.
Dale stated that there is a Cooper Landing Advisory Planning Commission Meeting scheduled
for January 23 to discuss the Cooper Landing mining issue.
Ben reported on the Board of Fish sub -committee which met yesterday. The proposals for
the March meeting were reviewed. There will be committee recommendations for the
February board meeting. Govemor Knowles' transition team for the Board of Fish met in
Kodiak. There were thirty-six people who met and made recommendations to the
Administration. Recommendations included support of a lay board instead of a professional
board, dividing the board into a fin fish - shell fish board. The conflict of interest problem
was addressed. One of two things need to be done, either change the law statewide which
deals with conflict of interest or change the structure of the way the Board of Fish is
appointed. Strengthening the regional board, moving the Board of Fish budget out from
under ADF81G and possibly moving it to either the Govemor's office or Commerce where
most of the boards and commissions' budgets are. Other suggestion ranged from bringing
the board into the computer age to attempting to bring public comment and board decisions
closer together so that there is more input from the public before the decision was final.
Jim likes the accommodations at the KPB and would like to encourage more public
participation.
Peggy suggested that the ad which Dale had seen regarding the investment of $700 to set up
a mining claim should accompany DPOR's letter to Division of Mining requesting the closure
of mining in the area. She suggested this letter should be faxed to the new Commissioner of
DNR as soon as possible.
KENAI RIVER SPECIAL MANAGEMENT AREA ADVISORY 8
BOARD MINUTES - January 12,, 1995
B. Date/Agenda of Next Meeting
The next meeting will be held February 9 at 7:00 p.m. at the Kenai Peninsula Borough
Assembly Chambers. Agenda topics will include:
-Upper Kenai River Boating Access project and The Pillars project
-ADF8tG Habitat and Restoration Division report on their Kenai River
Watershed project
JAN-30-1995 15:39 KENAI P.IVER SPOPTFISH P.01
KRSMA Board of Fisheries Committee
The Board of Fisheries committee of the Kenai River Special Management
Area Board met on Wednesday, Jan. 11 at 9 a.m. in the Soldotna City
Council chambers. Present were committee members Ben Ellis. chair. Dale
Bondurant and Steve Bonebrakc, Parks Ranger Suzanne Fisler. Fishing
guide Jeff King participated from the public.
The committee reviewed proposals scheduled to come before the Board of
Fisheries during their March board meeting in Anchorage which would
have an impact upon stocks within the Kenai River. Using the mission
statement approved by the Board during the December 8, 1994 KRSMA
concerning this committee, the panel is recommending the following
actions to be discussed and acted upon at the February board meeting_
Proposal 289
POSSESSION OF SPORT -CAUGHT FISH
Children 10 and younger can be assisted in hooking and landing fish and
be called their fish.
KRSMA committee recommendations: Oppose proposal
Rationale: Not viewed as a major concern and would create enforcement
problem. Instead more emphasis is needed to encourage children to chatch
their own fish.
Proposal 290
PROHIBIT LEAD OR ZINC LURES OR SINKERS
Effective on the date .that the EPA rule prohibits distribution in commerce.
the use of any fishing lure or fishing sinker which contains any lead or zinc
and is less than or equal to 1 inch in any dimension is prohibited.
KRSMA committee recommendations: No action
Rationale: The problem will be addressed with EPA action.
Proposal 291
GEAR FOR SINGLE -HOOK WATERS
Statewide regulations that all hooks used in water designed as catch and
release only have a gap of 3/8 inch or less."
KRSMA committee recommendations: Oppose proposal
Rationale: Different size hooks make this proposal impossible to regulate
statewide.
Proposal 292
GEAR FOR SINGLE -HOOK WATERS
JAN-30-1995 15:39 KENAI RIVER SPOP.TFISH
P.02
Statewide regulations would require that only barbless or hooks that have
the barb crimped may be used in designed catch and release only waters.
KRSMA committee recommendations: Support proposal
Rationale: It appears barbless hooks and hooks with crimped barbs reduce
mortality rate during catch and release restrictions.
Proposal 293
SPORT FISHING GEAR
Amend the definition of "possession," as applied to sport caught fish and
shell fish, to include all fish or shellfish fresh, frozen, canned, smoked or
otherwise processed in possession or storage in the field or place of
accommodations or enroute to the place of permanent resident.
KRSMA committee recommendations: Oppose proposal
Rationale: Too restrictive
Proposal 294
DEFINITIONS OF PRESERVED FISH
The definition of "preserved fish" would end at the word consumption and
eliminate all words after the word consumption. Therefore, it would read
"preserved fish means fish prepared in such a manner, and in an existing
state of preservations, as to be fit for human consumption.
KRSMA committee recommendations: Oppose proposal
Rationale: While the committee understood the objective of the proposal
writer, the group felt such measures should be handled on a regional level
and that other rules and regulations could be amended to satisfy the
author's intent.
Proposal 295
DEFINITION OF AN ARTIFICIAL FLY
The definition would say an artificial fly would be free of bait as defined
by regulation. Materials and chemicals designed and produced primarily to
cause flies to float or sink maybe used on artificial flies.
KRSMA committee recommendations: Oppose proposal
Rationale: Lack of documentation that regulation is needed to address
conservation, social or economic problem.
Proposal 296
DEFINITION OF ARTIFICIAL LURE
Artificial lure means any lurewhich fish for theis mandpurposee. free oofbtaking the
ait as includesby regulation and is used to attract
includes artificial flies but does not include salmon eggs or chemically
treated or processed foods. oral
KRSMA committee recommendations: Oppose prop
JAN-30-1995 15:39 KENAI PIVEP SPOP.TFISH P.03
Rationale: Lack of documentation that regulation is needed to address
conservation, social or economic problem.
Proposal 297
DEFINITION OF BAIT
A statewide definition of bait as any substance applied to fishing gear for
the purpose of attracting fish by scent, including fish eggs in any form,
natural or preserved animal. fish, shellfish or insect parts, natural or
processed vegetable matter and natural or synthetic chemicals.
KRSMA committee recommendations: Oppose proposal
Rationale: Lack of documentation that regulation is needed to address
conservation, social or economic problem.
Proposal 298
DEFINITION OF GUIDE
The statewide definition of a guide would be a person who assists another
person to take fish with the intent of receiving monetary or material
remuneration for services, by accompanying. and directing that person
personally for the duration of any portion of a fishing trip. "Guide" does not
include a person who provides only transportation services.
KRSMA committee recommendations: Support proposal
Rationale: Good to have a statewide definition for guide.
Proposal 299
RESPONSIBILITY OF A FISHING GUIDE
This would establish statewide requirements for a guide under two
subsections. Subsection I would require statewide annual registration with
ADF&G. Subsection II would require:
• Information such as name, address, name of individual working
for, etc.
• a copy of their sport fish guiding registration in their possession
• a guide would not be able to retain fish while engaged in guiding
clients.
• a guide may not assist any client in any manner in any action that
is contrary to Alaska sport fishing regulations
• the maximum number of fishing lines that may be fished from a
vessel operated by a guide is equal to the number of clients on board.
KRSMA committee recommendations: Support Subsection I, but no
consensus on Subsection IX.
Rationale: The committee agreed that statewide registration is needed but
reached no consensus on Subsection li because of conflicts with current
Parks Division permit required for guiding on the Kenai River. The
JAN-30-1995 15:39 KENAI RIVEP SPORTFISH
P.04
committee recommended that the department work with Parks in
rewriting Subsection I1.
Proposal 300
WASTE OF FISH
Amend the current regulation to: The intentional waste or destruction of
any species of sport -caught fish is prohibited. However, whitefish, herring
and other species for which bag limits, seasons or other regulatory
methods and means are not provided for in regulation as well as the head,
tail, fins and viscera of legally taken sport fish may be used for bait or
other purposes.
KRSMA committee recommendations: Support proposal
Rationale: Responsible use of the resource should be encouraged.
Proposal 301
SPORT FISHING GEAR
This proposal would prohibit snagging in all waters of Alaska except where
specifically allowed by regulation or emergency order.
KRSMA committee recommendations: Oppose proposal
Rationale: Not needed since snagging is not allowed expect in specific areas,
situations.
The committee discussed other proposals which focused on the commercial
fisheries and decided that such proposals did not fit under the mission
statement of the committee.
Support for bycatch data
The committee does suggest adopting language and incorporating it in our
communication with the Board of Fisheries that states our general support
for regulations which provide more data on commercially caught bycatch,
especially of salmon stocks in the Berring Sea and Aleutian Island district
and regulations which attempts to reduce salmon bycatch in state waters.
Kenai River Sockeye Management Plan
Included in this report are two proposals which have been sent to the
Board of Fisheries concerning the Kenai River Sockeye Management Plan.
The plan will be discussed b the Kenai B River Sockeye Management Task
rRi�Fisheries during eir March
ent
meeting. One report is fromhe
Force. created a year ago by the BOF to make recommendations on the
plan. The second, is an alternative plan submitted by the four members of
the task from from the non-commercial user communities. The reports are
provided for the KRSMA board as information only.

AMBS Program Attracts Attention
Alaska Municipal Basic Services (AMBS) Idea Catches On
The Alaska Municipal League's AMBS program (adopted unanimously at the
annual conference in November) has been introduced by Senator JohnTorgerson as
SB 20 and co -sponsored by Senators Pearce and Kelly. There has been a great deal
of interest by the Legislature in combining the current Municipal Assistance and
State Revenue Sharing into a program that recognizes basic services provided by
local governments and stablizes funding for municipalities. Senator Torgerson has
scheduled the bill for its first hearing on February 22. The bill is also being pre-
pared for introduction in the House.
As soon as possible, we will distribute the new version of SB 20 (AMBS) and
estimated financial runs developed by the Department of Community and Regional
Affairs. It is important to note that any information or financial runs that may be in
circulation are likely inaccurate at this time. As with any complex legislation, there
will be lots of questions and comments. Please call Kevin or Julie at 586-1325 at
any time to get an update on the progress of the bill.
Annual Municipal Legislative Conference
The Alaska Municipal League, the Alaska Confer-
ence of Mayors, the AML Legislative Committee, and
other elected and appointed officials are invited to Ju-
neau on March 27-29 for the Annual Legislative Con- j
ference. We need everyone's help to convince the legis-
lature that we are serious about protecting municipali-
ties in Alaska.
The Conference will begin at 1:00 p.m. on Monday,
March 27. Highlights of the three-day conference include a session on legis-
lative process and lobbying techniques by Clive Thomas, University of Alaska
professor, presentations by state officials, and visits to legislators to encour-
age their support for the AMBS program and other AML priority legislation.
AML and the Alaska Conference of Mayors will be hosting the annual
legislative reception on Tuesday night at the Juneau Douglas City Museum.
The reception presents a great opportunity to meet one-on-one with legisla-
tors and staff.
The cost for the conference is only $50. Special hotel rates have been
offered by the Baranof and Westmark Juneau. Please see tentative agenda on
page 7 and return the registration form as soon as possible. We need your
help!

Another
Reason to
Support AMBS
According to the January 25,
1995 "Report of the Local Boundary
Commission to the First Session of
the Nineteenth Alaska State Legisla-
ture," the Local Boundary Commis-
sion (LBC) approved Petitions for
Dissolution for five cities in 1994. In
addition, interest in dissolution was
expressed by a total of 16 small cit-
ies.
The LBC also noted a "growing
interest in detachment of territory
from existing organized boroughs."
In regard to the detachment of areas
within the Matanuska-Susitna B-
ough, the LBC states, "...the B.
ough has clearly been `penalized' be-
cause of incorporation. Anticipated
continued reductions in state aid to
municipalities to local government
will only exacerbate the problem."
In recent years, the LBC has re-
ceived interest in detachment from
ten boroughs. From a purely finan-
cial standpoint, it is likely that a par-
tial restoration of state aid to munici-
palities will cost the state far less than
the additional liability and cost of
services if dissolutions and detach-
ments continue to grow.

around the world while
the truth is putting on
its shoes. "

AML Priority Issues
State Unfunded Mandates
There is a great momentum on a national level to eliminate unfunded federal
mandates on state and local governments. This momentum is also reflected on the
state level by the Alaska Legislature. There is a good deal of interest to reduce state
mandates on local governments. AML was asked to assist the Legislative Research
Agency by providing a report on unfunded state mandates and recommend action. A
copy of that report is available by calling 586-1325.
One of the AML's 1995 Legislative Platform priorities is to make the Senior
Citizen/ Disabled Veteran property tax exemption a local option. Currently, this
unfunded mandate costs municipal more than $15 million each year.
Two years ago HB 66 was adopted by the legislature but failed on reconsidera-
tion. HB 66 would have allowed communities to design their own programs for
supporting seniors and disabled veterans.
This year, AML has the opportunity to eliminate this unfunded mandate by sup-
porting legislation similar to HB 66 which would give municipalities the option to
address this issue on a local level. Local options may include basing the exemption
on financial need, reducing the maximum amount of the exemption, or deferring
taxes until the property is sold or transferred While it is expected that each commu-
nity will continue assistance to seniors/ disabled veterans, this legislation will allow
each community to develop a program that best balances the needs of their own
community.
Long Range Fiscal Planning Commission
The House and Senate leadership have proposed a commission to guide the de-
velopment of a long-range fiscal and economic development plan for Alaska by
October 1995. The commission would include a majority of public members. The
administration has also expressed its support for this process.
Long-range fiscal planning is a major legislative priority of the member com-
munities of the AML. The AML has requested that municipalities be given a full
partnership in this process as the political subdivisions of the state. Without stable
municipalities, a high quality of life for Alaskans and rational economic develop-
ment for our state cannot be realized.
Municipal governments can provide local publicity, technical experts, facilities,
and other support in crafting a broad -based long-range fiscal plan. In fact, many
municipalities have already completed a high level of fiscal and service planning for
their own communities.
So far, the legislature has been very receptive to including municipalities at the
table. New language has been inserted in HCR 1 in the House Finance Committee to
consider municipal involvement in the process and the resolution passed out of the
House on a vote 37-1. The language added to the change of the commission in-
cludes: "consider the division of responsibility for providing services and raising
revenue between the state and local governments and evaluate the effect of the long-
range financial plan on local governments." It will now be heard in the Senate on
February 9 at 9:00 a.m.
Please educate your Senators about the importance of developing a long-range
fiscal plan for the state and its political subdivisions.
AML Board and
Mayors Lend
Support to AMBS
On January 24 & 25 the Alaska Con-
ference of Mayors and the AML Board
of Directors met in Juneau. The joint
meeting focused on strategies to obtain
approval of AMBS and stabilize state
revenue sharing programs for munici-
palities. Senator Torgerson attended the
joint session on Wednesday, Janaury 25,
to discuss the proposed legislation and
answer questions. He said that the
AMBS has received a good reception
from legislators.
k
gram in a session mar wui rocus on oua-
getet c�uttine. Remember to submit let-
ters and resolutions of support from your
community as soon as possible. This is
the year to stabilize state support for our
committees. We can only do it with your
support.
Municipal "Flat Tax"
Option for Personal
Property
HB 86, introduced by Representa-
tive Mark Hanley, significantly in-
creases municipal flexibility in devel-
oping taxation programs for personal
property from snowmachines to air-
planes. The bill allow municipalities to
levy a flat tax on personal property. Per-
sonal property is generally difficult to
value and expensive to administer for
your assessor.
HB 86 passed out of its only com-
mittee of referral, Community and Re-
gional Affairs, and should be on the
House floor soon.

A Primer on
Legislative
Terminology
Those who are new to the legisla-
tive arena often have trouble under-
standing what is going on in the Leg-
islature. One problem involves legis-
lative terminology and jargon.
Different versions of bills in the
Alaska Legislature are referred to by a
string of letters and one number.
Sometimes this gets complicated, but
it is important to know which version
of a biI l a person is referring to because
they change. We have put together a
short list of terms and abbreviations we
will be using in our publications to
make things easier for you.
HB: House Bill: bills introduced by
House members
HR: House Resolution: used to ex-
press the will, wish, view, opinion,
sympathy, or request of the House.
HCR: House Concurrent Resolu-
tion: used to express the will, wish,
view, or decision of both houses speak-
ing concurrently; starts in the House.
HJ_R_: House Joint Resolution; the
most formal type of resolution;
adopted by both houses and signed by
the Governor as a formality. Joint reso-
lutions are treated as bills but not sub-
ject to veto; they are mainly used to
express the wish of the Legislature to
the President, Congress, or agencies of
the U.S. government or the govern-
ments of other states or countries.
SB: Senate Bill: bills introduced by
Senate members
SR: Senate Resolution: see HR.
µ ,,Save' Thb Page~:
SCR: Senate Concurrent Resolntion:
see HCR.
S JR: Senate Joint Resolution: see HJR.
SS: Sponsor Substitute; when a sponsor
of a bill decides to change the bill, before
a committee has started action on it, he/
she may submit a Sponsor Substitute for
the original bill. Thus, you might see a
reference to SS HB 2, the sponsor's
changed version of HB 2.
CS: Committee Substitute; when a bill
is amended by a committee, the new ver-
sion is a CS. For example, CS HB 2(Fin),
is when the Finance Committee has passed
a substitute version for the sponsor's origi-
nal bill. Sometimes you will see a refer-
ence to something like CS SS HB 2(Fin),
which means that the Finance Committee
amended the sponsor's substitute version
of HB 2.
I= When a bill is amended on the floor
of the House or Senate, "am" for
"amended" is added to the bill title. Thus
you might see a reference to CS SS HB
2(Fin) am, which means there was a floor
amendment to the Finance Committee
Substitute for the Sponsor Substitute for
HB 2.
AAr: Alaska Administrative Code: the
regulations that govern the operation of
Alaska state government. Regulations are
established by the executive branch (the
state departments) to implement laws
passed by the Legislature.
AS: Alaska Statutes; the laws that gov-
ern the operation of Alaska state govern-
ment.
Introduced/Sponsored by: When a bill
is first submitted to the House or Senate
for consideration it is sponsored by one or
more members, and the Bulletin will list
these initial sponsors. Other sponsors can
sign on later in the process. Legislative
committees can also sponsor bills. S
bills are "Introduced by Rules at the re-
quest of the Governor." Since only a
legislator or legislative committee can
introduce a bill, the Rules Committees
serve as the vehicles for the Governor
to get his proposed legislation before the
House and Senate.
Referred to: After a bill is introduced
and has gone through the "First Read-
ing," it is referred to one or more com-
mittees for consideration. Most of the
work of the Alaska Legislature is done
in the committees, so this is an impor-
tant step in the legislative process and
one during which AML members need
to keep close track of the bills.
Reconsideration: Just because a bill
passes, or fails, on the floor, we can't
assume that the action is final. A mem-
ber may give notice of reconsiders+* -�
of his/her vote on a bill. The tim
reconsideration expires at adjournment
the next calendar day unless an exten-
sion of time is granted by a majority vote
of the members present. Calling up a
reconsideration automatically cancels
the previous vote on the question.
Committees: In the Bulletin we often
refer to the standing House and Senate
committees by short names or abbrevia-
tions, as follows:
State Affairs - STA
Community and Regional
Affairs - CRA;
Health, Education, and
Social Services - HES;
Labor and Commerce - L&C;
Finance - FIN;
Resources - RES;
Judiciary - JUD;
Transportation - TRANS

Economic
Development Grants
The Alaska Department of Com-
merce and Economic Development an-
nounces the availability of two grant
programs which provide matching fund-
ing for specific economic development
projects. They are the Economic De-
velopment Matching Grant Program
(EDMGP) and the Economic Develop-
ment Feasibility Fund (EDFF). Both
programs have specific criteria shown
below.
The EDMGP provides matching
funds for technical assistance or capital
construction in support of economic de-
velopment projects. Technical assis-
tance projects which may qualify under
the EDMGP include development of
business plans, marketing plans, etc. for
eligible applicants, generally nonprofit
corporations, tribal councils etc. Capi-
tal projects that qualify must include a
business plan which shows that the fa-
cility to be built will be self-sufficient,
i.e., not require additional government
funding after the initial construction.
The EDFF provides matching funds
for projects to perform an economic fea-
sibility analysis to determine whether a
specific project would be viable.
Projects should be past the idea stage,
fully documented and must meet spe-
cific criteria as identified in the guide-
lines. The department requires review
and approval of a preproposal outline of
the project prior to inviting the appli-
cant to submit an application.
Guidelines and corresponding appli-
cations can be obtained by contacting
Bonnie Jo Borchick-Savland at: Depart-
ment of Commerce and Economic De-
velopment, Division of Economic De-
velopment. P.O. Box 110804, Juneau,

SALE 149/COOK INLET PROPOSED NOTICE OF SALE
The Department of the Interior's (DOI) Minerals Management
Service (MMS) has issued a proposed Notice of Sale for the Cook
Inlet, Sale 149, which outlines the terms and conditions. The
sale is scheduled for the summer of 1996.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The proposed Notice of Sale covers 402 blocks encompassing
about 2 million acres. The area is located between 3 and 25
miles offshore Alaska in Cook Inlet. Water depths in the area
range from 3 to approximately 650 feet.
SALE INFORMATION
A Call For Information and Nominations was published in
the Federal Register on February 7, 1992. It
identified the area believed by MMS to be geologically
favorable for hydrocarbons, and asked respondents to
outline areas within the Call area that they would like
included in the proposed sale. The Call requested
information that would be useful in identifying
potential conflicts with approved coastal management
plans, potential environmental effects and use
conflicts, possible mitigating measures, and possible
lease terms and conditions. Comments were received from
industry, the State of Alaska, other federal agencies,
environmental groups, fishing groups, local and area
representatives, and private citizens.
The Area Identification was announced on August 18,
1992, and covered 761 blocks encompassing about 3.7
million acres.
(more)
° On January 27, 1994, Shelikof Strait was deferred from
the proposed sale area. The revised proposed sale area
to be included in the draft environmental impact
statement encompassed 402 blocks covering about 2
million acres. In addition, no more than 250 leases can
be issued as a result of Sale 149; lease terms are 5
years.
The draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) was
issued on January 13, 1995, and covered 402 blocks
encompassing about 2 million acres. Scoping meetings
were held in Port Lions, Nanwalek (English Bay), Larsen
Bay, Port Graham, Chignik, Kodiak, Homer, Seldovia,
Soldotna, and Anchorage.
Since March 1991, MMS has engaged in an extensive
outreach effort travelling to 12 communities adjoining
the sale area and holding 50 meetings with stakeholder
groups throughout the region to inform the public and
gather comments on the proposed sale.
MMS is conducting workshops in key communities in
February. Staff will explain how an EIS is organized
and the steps followed in the analyses.
° Public hearings are scheduled to be held in Anchorage,
Kenai, Homer, and Kodiak in March 1995. Teleconference
hearings will be held with Nanwalek, Port Graham,
Seldovia, and Ou7_nkie.
The final EIS is scheduled to be issued in early 1996,
and will incorporate comments from the public hearings
and comments received from other sources.
The final Notice of Sale will be published at least 30
days prior to the conduct of the sale.
LEASING HISTORY
There have been three sales in the area: Sale CI, held
October 27, 1977; Sale 60, held September 29, 1981; and Sale RS-
2, held August 5, 1982. Currently there are no active federal
leases in the sale area. There are 14 platforms located in State
waters in Cook Inlet. Production includes 4,823 barrels of oil
per day and 5,947 mcf of natural gas. The last lease sale in
State waters was held on October 31, 1994.
HID FILING
The Final Program for the Comprehensive Outer Continental
Shelf Natural Gas and Oil Resource Management Program (1992-1997)
requires that the proposed Notice of Sale and the draft EIS be
issued concurrently to give the public and the Governor
(more)
sufficient time to comment on both documents. If the decision is
made to hold the sale, sealed bids will be received by the
Regional Director, Minerals Management Service, Alaska Outer
Continental Shelf (OCS) Region, 949 East 36th Avenue in
Anchorage, Alaska. Bids may be delivered in person between 8

composition of such biological populations or habitat. The RS/F0
shall give written notification to the lessee of the RS/FO,s
decision to require such surveys.
Based on any surveys which the RS/FO may require of the
lessee or on other information available to the RS/FO on special
biological resources, the RS/FO may require the lessee to:
relocate the site of operations; establish that either such
operations will not have a significant adverse effect on the
resource identified or that a special biological resource doesn't
exist; operate during those periods of time that do not adversely
affect the biological resources; or modify operations to ensure
that significant biological populations or habitats deserving
protection are not adversely affected.
Orientation Program: Lessees are required to conduct an
orientation program to increase employees sensitivity to specific
types of environmental, social, and cultural concerns relating to
OCS development and to inform them of archaeological and
biological resources and habitat including endangered species,
fisheries, bird colonies, and marine mammals.

MMS ISSUES PROPOSED NOTICE OF SALE (202) 208-3983
FOR COOK INLET SALE 149
The proposed Notice of Sale and draft environmental impact statement (EIS) for Outer
Continental Shelf Oil and Gas Lease Sale 149 in Alaska's Cook Inlet has been issued by the
Department of the Interior's Minerals Management Service (MMS). The Notice proposes
offering 402 blocks covering about 2 mii►ion acres in Cook Inlet. The proposed sale is
currently scheduled for the summer of 1996.
"Even though 402 blocks will be offered," said acting MMS Director Cynthia
Quarterman, "no more than 250 leases can be issued, and they will have lease terms of five
years."
Quarterman said the Alaska Regional Office has been carrying out an extensive
outreach effort for the past several years. "Since March of 1991, our people have held 50
meetings with interested groups in a dozen communities," she declared, "and we'll be
conducting workshops in key areas next month with public hearings scheduled for March."
In response to public concern about the water quality of Cook Inlet, MMS contracted
with the University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA) to complete a water quality study in Cook
Inlet. The results indicate that water quality in Cook Inlet is good, notwithstanding oil
exploration, development, and production occurring in Upper Cook Inlet in State waters for
the past 33 years.
Approximately $2.6 million has been invested to date on other environmental and
socio-economic studies exclusive to the area relating to oil spills, physical oceanography,
fisheries, and marine mammals of Cook Inlet.
The proposed Notice of Sale and draft EIS may be obtained by written request to the
Alaska OCS Region, Minerals Management Service, Room 603, 949 E 36th Avenue,
Anchorage, Alaska, 99508-4302, Attn: Library, or by telephone (907) 271-6691.
Comments on the draft EIS and proposed Notice are due April 19, 1995.

Widespread logging, construction of new roads and homes and
new fishing pressure all squeeze the bears, who number an esti-
mated 250 to 300, he said.
"A lot of areas where brown bears used to feed are now salmon
fisheries — along the lower Kenai, Deep Creek, the Anchor River,
the Ninilchik," Schwartz said.
Two of the nine bears killed lawfully in defense of life and prop-
erty last year on the Kenai Peninsula came from the Russian River
area, he said.
One fisherman was clawed and bitten last summer when he came
between a bear and its salmon dinner on the Russian River. He was
not seriously injured.
State fisheries and bear biologists decided last week to ask the
Board of Fisheries to close Goat Creek to fishing. The creek is
important habitat for brown bears who feast on spawning Russian
River reds in July.
"We can see that this fishery is growing," Schwartz said. "You
can see a conflict that could develop with fishermen and air taxi
operators who have developed a business around the particular fish-
ery. „
The creek is vital feeding habitat because it's the first place in
summer when protein -hungry bears can reach the salmon, said
Daniel Doshier, manager of the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge.
The creek runs through the refuge, but the state fish board con-
trols fishing rules.

The Honorable Fran Ulmer 6181,A9g
Lieutenant Governor of Alaska
Dear Lieutenant Governor Ulmer:
On behalf of the working group, I would like to thank you for the opportunity to work on this interesting
and important project_ We hope that the enclosed report will help you and your staff deal with an issue of
extraordinary significance.
This letter and the report include a proposal for a future advisory group and network known as the "Alaska
Citizen Access Network" (ALCAN). This name might merit further discussion, but many in our group liked
the metaphor. In 1942 the A1Can Highway connected Alaska to the outside world in a way that today remains
most important to the progress of our state. The ALCAN information highway, or whatever the system is
called, will be no less important in the decades to come.
Sometime early in your second term what is now apparent will become obvious: 1995 was Alaska's last, best
chance to plug into the electronic network on its own terms. It's the start of a new administration, the end
of an old century, and time to stop chuckling about how our kids know more about computers than we do.
When this administration ends, they won't be kids: they will be starting careers. If we want those careers to
be in Alaska, we need to build a system that lets us reach each other, our government, and the rest of the world.
All too soon, somebody sitting in front of a computer or a camera -or both— is going to turn and ask, "Grandma,
when you were Lieutenant Governor, could people talk to each other like this?" The answer, we hope, will be,
"Not when I started."
Sincerely

Electronic Access to Government
A Report to
Lieutenant Governor Fran Ulmer
THE LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR'S WORKING GROUP ON ELECTRONIC ACCESS
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The world is coming north on the information highway. If we can't handle the traffic, the world will press a
button and take its business elsewhere. Government officials and government information must be
accessible to Alaska's citizens, businesses, and customers. We must give the next generation of Alaskans the
tools to compete on the Internet and the rest of the national information infrastructure.
Mission Statement
To give all Alaskans a sense of community, a voice in government, and an opportunity for success through electronic
access to government
Goals
1. To increase citizen access and decrease government cost by using video, telephone, and data systems to bring
Alaska's government to its citizens, wherever they may be.
2. To fully develop the investments already made by the private sector, the Executive Branch, the Legislature, the
University of Alaska, public broadcasting, and the Rural Alaska Television Network.
3. To make state agencies accountable for providing user-friendly access to state information for Alaskans of all
cultures, incomes, and abilities.
4. To make public information accessible in a usable electronic form and deliver it to the public through powerful
and understandable information systems.
5. To make Alaska a public access model on the Internet and the emerging national information infrastructure.
Objectives
The attached pages set out short, mid, and long-term objectives for making Alaskan government accessible
through video, telephone, and data systems. Each set of objectives is presented in the following arrangement:
Policies
These objectives are the responsibility of senior executive branch policymakers. They consist of Executive
Orders, budget requests, and similar orders that will set the access agenda. The agenda should empower
individuals, not just agencies.
Delivery Systems
These objectives address video teleconferencing facilities, an 800 phone system, computer networks, and the
state satellite network. Video facilities will be designed, through tiered expansion if necessary, for multiple -
location two-way interactive conferencing from the Capitol and regional government centers to public loca-
tions throughout the state. Data systems will be designed for graphical, interactive access to state data and
services. However, it is important to realize that not everyone will have convenient access to a teleconference
site or a computer. The public access role of the legislative information offices should be recognized and
enhanced through executive and legislative branch cooperation. For these reasons, the objectives include
improved access by toll -free voice phone, public library -based computer terminals, floppy disk, CD-ROM, and
anything else that will do the job for the user at hand.
Data
These objectives address the kinds of computer -based data that are or should be made available to the public.
These should not be limited to "PR" items. Electronic access should include schedules, notices, minutes of
meetings, bids, bills, and everything else subject to the Open Records Act. In other words, data access should
Al include everything you could get by showing up at the desk of a government official.

1"REPORT OF THE LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR'S WORKING GROUP ON ELECTRONIC ACCESS lanusry 12 , 1995
Executive Order
Policy for State of Alaska funded networks
WHEREAS:
Alaska state government and University of Alaska computer networks are part of a publicly
funded general purpose communication infrastructure.
This infrastructure provides a cost-effective means of communication among state, local, federal, and
international public agencies on the Internet, and between these agencies and the public they serve.
This infrastructure is well suited to shared multi -purpose use and is scalable to meet increased
demand.
The high cost of building this type of communications infrastructure independently might present an
insurmountable barrier to local governments, school districts, and other small public agencies.
NOW, THEREFORE:
It will be the policy that Alaska state government and the University of Alaska work cooperatively to
promote citizen access to this network infrastructure through the Internet. Furthermore, it will be the
policy that local government, public libraries and school districts will be allowed to connect to Alaska
state government computer network facilities wherever they exist and receive the same level of service
as is customarily provided to the respective State customers.

FLYING /NT O 1995 - Do we have as much sense as a Goose? - -
In the fall, when you see geese heading south for the winter flying Wong
lit a 'IV" formation, you might be interested in knowing what scientists have
discovered about why they fly that way. It has been learned that as each bird
tips it% wings, it creates an uplift for the bird immediately following. Sy.flying
ina formation. the whole flock adds at least 71 % greater flying range than
each bird flew on Its own.
BASIC TRUTH NO 1: People who share a common direction and semtd b of 3
community can get where they are going quicker and easier because they are
traveling on the thrust of one another. Whenever a goose falls out of formation,
it suddenly feels the drag & resistance of trying to go it alone and quickly gels back
into formation to take advantage of the 11JUng power of the burl immedlaorly In
front.
BASIC TRUTII NO 2: If we have as much sense as a goose, we will stay in
formation with those who are headed in the same way we are going. When dui,
lead goose gets tired, he rotates back in the wing and another goate Jfles lttl ;fi
BASIC: TRUTH NO.3: It pays to take turns doing hatd jobs - *lth X064
with geese flying south. The geese honk from behind to encourage thosb up, ib0i
r.-
to keep up their speed.
BASIC TRUTH NO.4: We need to be careful what we say when we holds hoof
behind. Finally, when a goose gets sick or is wounded by gunshot and falls oli,
lvo geese fall out of formation and follow him down to help & protect him. They
stay with him until he is either able to fly or undl he is dead and then they beach -
out on their own or with anotherformadon to catch up with their group
BASIC TRUTIf NO. 5: if we have the sense or a goose, we will stand by each
tither like that..

Echo Bay disputes
EPA's findings
on A=J Mine
Company, EPA hope to reach common ground
The Environmental Protection
Agency has been widely criticized by
Juneau officials, consultants, qualified
scientists and others for its recently
completed two-year study of Echo Bay
Alaska's plans to develop the historic
Alaska -Juneau Mine on the edge of
Alaska's capital city.
In a letter to the federal agency,
Juneau city officials said the EPA took
too long in its review and should have
worked to find solutions for the project.
"Had we been in your position,
our approach would have been to
advise the city of the likelihood of
significant EPA concern, and then
confront Echo Bay much sooner and
try to either reach agreement on the
technical disputes or work on changes
to the mine plan that would have
solved the problem," said Mayor Byron
Mallott and city manager Mark Palesh.

Park Service considers
options to accommodate
increase in visitation
The Resource Development Coun-
cil is calling for a wider range of alterna-
tives for accommodating a large in-
crease in visitors to the "frontcountry" of
Kenai Fjords National Park near
Seward.
Socio-economic forecasts indicate
there will be substantial growth in visita-
tion to the national park, a popular tour-
ist destination on the eastern side of the
Kenai Peninsula. Projections suggest
that visitor numbers will exceed 300,000
annually by the year 2003, compared to
150,000 visitors in 1993. Studies also
reveal that two-thirds of all visitors travel
to Exit Glacier,10 miles west of Seward
while one-third stop at a small visitor
center located in the Resurrection Bay
community.
In a letter to park Superintendent
Anne Castellina, RDC said that three
alternatives developed by a Park Ser-
vice planning team fall short ad-

reason into wetlands regulation in Alaska
The new measure includes changes
addressing Alaska's unique circum-
stances. as well as national wetlands
policy. The bill specifies that a "no net
loss" of wetlands policy is not appli-
cable in Alaska, was not designed for
Alaska circumstances, and should not
be applied here, a long- standing policy
omission sought by RDC.
Provisions specific to Alaska in-
clude changes to the sequencing method-
ology, the elimination of compensatory miti-
gation requirements of current permit pro-
cessing, and the expansion and applicabil-
ity of general permitting standards.
Federal law will be amended to
ensure national policy will "achieve a
balance between wetlands conserva-

RDC highly endorses a number of
important segments, including the ex-
emption of log transfer sites and ice
pads from mitigation sequencing re-
quirements. RDC also highlighted the
need to make airport safety a priority
over the conservation of wetlands in a
commercial air zone.
The bill further recognizes that
Alaska should get credit for those wet-
lands already in protected status. This
change to federal law ensures "con-
served wetlands" will include those
wetlands located in federal, state and lo-
callydesignatedconservation systems. This
change is important when designing miti-
gation banking systems in Alaska.
Also noted in other provisions of
this legislation, lands owned by Alaska
Native entities and the State of Alaska
shall be considered economic base
lands, highlighting the importance of
the social and economic needs of Alaska
Natives and the citizens of Alaska and
recognizing prior agreements under
other federal laws.
Congressman Young will form a
wetlands task force this session ad-
dressing wetlands policy and its appli-
cation to Alaska and the nation. The
task force will include members from
the House Resource, Transportation
and Infrastructure, and Agriculture commit-
tees. Congressman Young will reportedly
introduce a wetlands bill in the House of
Representatives later this session.
Much thanks goes out to the Alaska
delegation and staff for the introduction of a
bill recognizing a wetlands regulatory fix for
the uniquely qualified state of Alaska. For a
copy of this bill, call RDC. Remember,
Alaska is not just a state of mind.

Page 2 / RESOURCE REVIEW / January 1995
The recent power shift in Washington will bring new,
substantive opportunities to advance a broad range of public
land issues important to Alaska. Sparing no time in taking
swift action on issues critical to development, each of Alaska's
two senators and its lone congressman — in the opening
days of the 104th Congress — introduced important legisla-
tion addressing long-standing Alaska priorities.
Congressman Don Young, the new chairman of the
revamped House Resources Committee, introduced legisla-
tion re -authorizing and amending the Magnuson Fishery
Conservation and Management Act. A major objective of the
bill is to end the wasteful dumping at sea of tons of bycatch
by some fishing fleets.
Meanwhile, Senator Ted Stevens has introduced a bill
taking aim at overly burdensome federal wetland regulations
in Alaska. Stevens' bill would mandate that wetlands conser-
vation be balanced with economic impacts on local and
private landowners. The bill would exempt some wetlands
mitigation requirements for Native and state-owned lands
and for specific activities such as public sewer facilities,
airports and log transfer sites.
Senator Frank Murkowski took aim at the 22-year ban on
the export of Alaska's North Slope oil by introducing a
measure repealing the ban, citing the positive impacts a
repeal would have on jobs and state revenues.
Absent from the delegation's early initiatives was legisla-
tion to open the Coastal Plain of ANWR to oil and gas
exploration and development. According to the delegation,

ANWR will come later afterthe Alaskans carefully assess the
mood in Washington and build a broader base of support in
Congress and among members of the Clinton administration.
The recent changes in Congress will bring new opportu-
nity for Alaska to advance other major priorities, including
long-standing transportation and access issues. Our delega-
tion has stated a desire to examine a broad range of public
land issues, ranging from cracking down on government
actions devaluing private property to management of federal
forests and logging restrictions. They'll also have a major role
in the re -authorization of the Endangered Species Act and
revisions to the Mining Law of 1872 — all important issues to
Alaska.
But make no mistake. there's much homework to be
done; by no means can Alaskans afford to sit back and
expect immediate, easy resolution of these issues. As Alas-
kans, we must continue to work hard on these issues and
support positive changes for Alaska.

effective option.
After careful analysis of data, a
number of the nation's top scientists
and engineers in the mining and water
treatment fields believe there will not
be a problem with water being re-
leased from the mine's tailings pond
into Gastineau Channel because of
the size of the proposed treatment
facility and the length of time the pond
can hold water. In addition, Echo Bay
has included a number of mitigation
measures in its mine design that
makes its site better than other exist-
ing treatment facilities.
One of those measures, which
the EPA condemned in its recent re-
view, included pumping tailings below
20 feet of clear, overlying water. The
idea forthe underwater tailings facility
came from early discussions between
the company, local officials and the
EPA in the scoping process at the
outset of the mine permitting process.
The underwater tailings disposal op-
tion was seen as a solution to poten-
tial dust and water quality issues. The
company hired top experts in the field
to design an improved underwater
tailings facility that would provide
added safeguards and become an
integral part of the mine design. Prior
to that, Echo Bay had considered a
subaerial tailings plan.
Now, more than five years later
and after almost $80 million spent by
the company — much of it on numer-
ous scientific and environmental stud-
ies — the EPA has completely re-
versed its position in the TAR. The
agency now claims a tailings pond
won't work despite what the company
says is overwhelming evidence to the
contrary.
Echo Bay says its tailings facility
design contains more safeguards than
any sites already meeting all environ-
mental water quality standards. The
company says its facility design is
better because it calls for pumping
tailings below the surface of the water,
rather than at the surface where they
have to settle to the bottom of the
pond. The A-J tailings facility is also
bigger, so there is a longer time avail-
able for holding water if a problem
should develop. The company de-
signed the facility so it could stop the

jected to reach up to 4,0000 people on
weekend days. Yet the emphasis of the
planning team. RDC said, appears to
be on restricting public access and cap-
ping development at or near its existing
level. RDC suggested that federal plan-
ners recognize Exit Glacier for what it
is, a frontcountry attraction, and re-
spond accordingly to accommodate a
larger flow of visitors.
In its comments on a federal plan-
ning document addressing the three
alternatives, RDC stressed that the
current range of options is inadequate,
especially given the extreme nature of
the plan's first alternative, known as
"A." That alternative would remove
existing facilities at the glacier, estab-
lish a visitor threshold and introduce a
permit system to restrict visitation —
measures which RDC believes are in-
appropriate for a frontcountry attraction
in Alaska where most park lands are
managed as backcountry.
Under Alternative A, the road lead-
ing to the Exit Glacier parking lot and
existing facilities would be blocked at
the Resurrection River bridge and visi-
tors would be required to hike from that
point.
A second option. Alternative B.
would provide for only minimum im-
provements. falling short of any mean-
ingful steps to accommodate visitor in-
creases. This option is basically a -no
action" alternative. one which would
maintain the status quo.
The Park Service initiated its cur-
rent planning efforts to address in-
creases in visitation to the frontcountry
of Kenai Fjords National Park. In that
light. RDC said it would be ironic if the
Park Service chose the second option
as its preferred alternative since it does
so little to address future needs.
Although billed as the "Higher Level
of Development' option, the third op-
tion, Alternative C, is not an extreme
development proposal when compared
to the primitive nature of Alternative A.
Of the current range of alternatives
presented, RDC believes Alternative C
is the logical choice, although it may fall
short of meeting increased visitor de-
mands. RDC supports the varic . !e-
ments comprising this third alte e.
(Continued to page 6)

The current Kenai Fjords National Park Visitors Center is located in Seward in front of the small boat harbor, pictured to the left. Since the
facility is often overcrowded by cruise ship visitors and others, the Park Service is considering a new, larger facility at a site in Seward.
Park Service developing new "frontcountry" plan
(Continued from page 5)
including construction of a rustic, mod-
est size visitor complex, extension of
the area's trail network, improvements
to parking and utilities and the con-
struction of a winter warming but and
public use cabins. The alternative al-
lows existing uses to continue, includ-
ing ski access, snowmobiling and com-
mercial dog- mushing.
Some people are opposed to any
development at Exit Glacier and the
winter uses outlined in Alternative C,
ignoring the fact that Exit Glacier is a
frontcountry attraction. It is not a wilder-
ness, although nearly all of the Park is
already managed for the preservation
of backcountry qualities for those who
demand solitude and untracked wilder-
ness experiences.
RDC proposed a fourth option to
provide a more meaningful and wider
range of options in the current planning
process and to provide a true balance
to Alternative A. The fourth option
could feature a larger scale of visitor
development, complete with a tramway
to the Harding Ice Field. The tram would

provide handicap visitors, the elderly
and the less hardy access to the rugged
high alpine and nearby ice fields.
The Park Service has held a num-
ber of public scoping meetings on the
park plan. Park Superintendent
Castellina recently addressed a packed
RDC Thursday breakfast meeting in
Anchorage where she noted the Park
Service has a responsibility to not only
accommodate visitors, but to protect
the park's resources from significant
impacts, which she said are likely to
occur unless measures are adopted to
control crowds.
Castellina is highly respected in Seward
for her personal involvement in the commu-
nity and her open-door policy to business
and industry. Her RDC presentation was
well -received by the pro -access crowd.
Although a preferred alternative is
not expected until next fall, Castellina
said her agency is unlikely to choose
Alternative A, the primitive alternative.
In scoping meetings held last year,
public comment ran in favorof improved
access to the park, but on the other
hand most people attending the meet-
ings did not wish to see large-scale
development near the glacier.
Castellina pointed out that the public
tends to support a modest -size f,c;ility
at Exit, on the scale of the Eagle River
visitors center at Chugach State Park.
As a result, planners are leaning more
toward siting a larger visitor center,
perhaps a shared facility with other
agencies, in Seward.

It is truly amazing that the Resource

celebrating 20 years of service to Alas-
kans. Amazing, for those of us fortu-
nate enough to have been in Alaska
during this time, to have seen a single -
issue group evolve into a multi -faceted,
pro -development force. This has re-
sulted in respect from throughout the
world for the battles waged and fights
won, and sometimes lost. RDC has not
only survived, but thrived, and now we
come to 1995 and beyond.
What a tremendous opportunity for
Tremendous opportunity
all of us, regardless of "political afflic-
tion." to move forward and reach
closure on many important issues
facing RDC. We can take advantage
of the seniority and majority status of
our Congressional delegation. To
have Congressman Don Young and
Senators Stevens and Murkowski chair-
ing committees and sub -committees criti-
cal to resource extraction and so many
RDC long-standing priorities, it presents
an opportunity for Alaska that is envied
by every other state.
After 20 years of many times
trying to stay afloat, we get to work
from a position of offense, instead of
defense. California Representative
George Millerdoes notgetto claim to
be "our" representative any more.

flow of water out of the tailings pond at
any time.
The company believes it has effec-
tively addressed the major issues raised
by the EPA, including the cyanide leach
process, the quality of water released
into Gastineau Channel, the efficiency
of the tailings pond, the length of time
available for holding water, the size of
the tailings dam and reclamation. These
issues were all addressed in the projects
Final Environmental Impact Statement
which recommended that an NPDES
permit be issued.
Although it disputes many of the
conclusions reached by EPA in the TAR,
Echo Bay is now engaged in discus-
sions with the agency on how best to
reach common ground and resolve key
issues. Spokesman David Stone said
the company is considering new modifi-
cations to the project that would meet
EPA concerns. He said his company
does not want to engage in a public
battle with EPA; it only wishes to work
with the agency to move forward in a
positive, constructive manner.
Stone said the company is will-
ing to go the extra mile to ensure
environmental impacts from the mine
are mitigated.
"The area can be mined and
reclaimed after mining operations in
a way that won't harm Juneau resi-
dents or the surrounding environ-
ment," Stone said.
Since changes contemplated by
Echo Bay could result in a re -design
of its proposal to reopen the mine,
EPA said it now prefers to delay a
workshop on the project until it's
known if the TAR remains relevant.
He has been doing his best to lock up
Alaska and, in turn, drive our resource
industries out of business. As Secretary of
Interior Bruce Babbit explained to report-
ers upon visiting Chairman Young's of-
fice, " I come on bended knee." That's the
right attitude, and it is what will allow us to
push and expand a pro -development
agenda on the national level.
The other dynamic that is so exiting
for those of us that are pro -development
and Democrat is the prospect of working
with our Congressional delegation and
simultaneously demonstrating to Presi-
dent Clinton and his administration that it
is poor public policy to have overly restric-
tive laws with respect to wetlands, timber,
mining, oil and natural gas line develop-
ment.
I believe many of the same facts apply
to the Alaska Legislature and Governor
Knowles. I have espoused for a long time
that Tony Knowles is not anti -develop-
ment. Remember that the Tony Knowles
Coastal Trail was a development project.
You can see this attitude reflected by the
choices for commissioners of the various
state departments: quality people. many
having strong ties to developing Alaska.
With a Republican led Legislature and
a Democratic Governor, all of us have a
tremendous opportunity, and obligation,
to provide support, and more importantly,
educate the new administration and the
Legislature on our collective issues.
Lastly, but certainly not least, we have
been blessed at RDC by a succession of
extremely distinguished executive direc-
tors. beginning with Bev Isenson and con-
tinuing with Paula Easley and Becky Gay.
We have a dedicated staff that is unparal-
leled in their field. I know that all of the
former presidents appreciate the staff's
devotion to the RDC mission. Without
their knowledge and support of the issues,
RDC would be just a memory, ^' the

Dear Ms. Vozar:
letter of January 20 1995 inquiring about codes applicable to the
I have received your ette J ary q g pp
development and use of property for RV Parks in Soldotna. Our codes are similar to �(
those prevailing in the city of Kenai.
RV campgrounds are prohibited in single family, multi -family and limited
commercial zoning districts. They are acceptable uses in rural residential,
commercial, institutional and industrial zoning districts if authorized- by a
conditional use permit approved by the Planning & Zoning Commission.
The conditional use permit application includes a requirement to submit a site plan
showing the character of the proposed development. There are landscaping
requirements which are uniformly applied to all commercial uses. The parking
areas, driveways and other vehicular access areas must be paved if the use is
adjacent to a paved street or highway. Compliance with ADEC requirements are
conditions of the use permit. ADEC requirements apply uniformly throughout
Alaska.
We do not have a separate code governing RV parks. We do allow RV's to park in
Shopping Mall parking lots, such as the RV parking occurring at Fred Meyer. This
use was approved at the time Fred Meyer submitted its applications for zoning and
building permits. Don't expect Soldotna to prohibit such uses as a means to protect
your market share of the RV business.

Attw Building Inspector:
I am the Chairman of the Campground Code Committee for the Alaska Campground Owners
Association.
I have volunteered to research, or poll, Cities within Alaska and see what criterion is necessary, in each
City, to set up an RV Paris, or allow RV's to cAnnp on private property.
When we built our park in Kenai., the City of Kenai required us to follow the Alaska Department of
Envirmneutal Conservation regulations, even though we were going to be using City water and sewer
services. The ADEC required approval of public drinking water and waste water disposal systems for
facilities providing parking for recreation vehicles. Written approval of the engineering plans had to be
issued by ADEC prior to the construction of either system. Written approval of engineering 'as -built'
plans had to be issued by ADEC prior to providing RV parking.
Does your City have a separate code for the construction of an RV Park within your City? If so, please
fb ward a copy of that code to me. If your City fellows the ADEC regulations and after ADC approves
the plans an'as-built' allows the RV Park to open, please advise me of that.
Does your City allow RV's to camp in Shopping Mall Parking Lots or along roadsides and if so, what
regulations, code or ordiance allows this. Please send me a copy. If you do not allow this type of
parking how have you avoided it in the past?
The goal of the Alaska Campground Owners Association is to equalize the criteria and regulations
necessary for a Campground Owner to complete, and hopeful obtain a 'standard.'
We feel the need for Regulations' on overnight roadside camping and Retail Shopping Center' RV
