OF KENAI After having met with the City Manager and the Director of Public Works we, Kenai Bible Church, have agreed to enter negotiations with the City of Kenai for the purpose of determining if we can mutually agree on a land purchase/trade. In order for this to be feasible for Kenai Bible Church, the City of Kenai would need to purchase our properties on the bluff at the corners of Main Street and Mission Avenue and we in turn would desire to purchase property from the city and then with monies left from the transaction, we would build a church on that site. We would desire that the specific details be worked out with a representative(s) from the City and with representatives from Kenai Bible Church for presentation to the City Council and to Kenai Bible Church. We will await your reply. Sincerely, s Rev.

In the beginning, KPB Ordinance No. 94-52 (as indicated at work sessions on the Overlay District and during various discussions) was to have been a shell ordinance, listing six items which required conditional use permits. The latest revision of KPB Ordinance No. 94-52, dated January 16, 1995, lists 48 items that include prohibited uses, uses requiring permits, permit procedures, procedures for issuance of permits, non - conformities, and variances. Additionally, there are now penalties for violation listed at a $1,000 per violation per day. The latest draft only serves to show what a quagmire this entire situation has turned out to be. It is quite obvious, even from the most recent articles, such as one dated January 20, 1995 in the Peninsula Clarion regarding the City of Soldotna and various state agencies, that state agencies cannot get along with one another, cannot get along with the cities, and obviously cannot seem to form a cooperative relationship that results in positive actions being taken regarding the Kenai River. We of the Kenai City Council are absolutely appalled that this entire issue has proceeded as far as it has. Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly January 23, 1995 Page 2 To make it perfectly clear, so there is no misunderstanding, this letter is not being written on behalf of any one individual, but is being written as a result of 1000/0 consensus of the Kenai City Council. I personally remain open for further discussions, but unless the discussions become more productive and lead to something more positive, I cannot see the Kenai City Council changing its attitude in regard to KPB Ordinance No. 94-52.

The Deshka River — the most productive king salm- on fishery in the valley — will not open for king fish- ing, the Alaska Depart- ment of Fish and Game f announced Thursday. And that's not the only restric- tion: • About half of Alexan- der Creek, the most popu- lar king tributary on the lower Susitna River, will be closed as well. • The Little Susitna Riv- er — the only seven-day per week king fishery ac- cessible by road — will be shut down for seven hours every day, as will some other streams. • And the use of bait — far and away the most effective lure for catching king salmon — will be pro- hibited everywhere in the valley. It's going to hurt," said Ron Wilson of Ron's River- boat Service in Wasilla. "There's guys (guides) that don't know if they're going to make it or not." Some of them began go- ing out of business last October when Fish and Game first announced it was considering plans to restrict fishing for Susitna kings. After three years of dwindling returns, biolo- gists announced the need to cut by at least half the Please see Back Page, KINGS KINGS: State closes Deshka, bans use of bait in Susitna Valley Continued from Page A-1 annual catch of about 30,000 kings in the Deshka and other Susitna tributar- ies. "That was kind of the first step we took," sport fishery biologist Craig Whitmore of Palmer said Thursday. They then spent months trying to develop fishing regulations that would drastically reduce the catch while providing some fish- ing opportunities for the king anglers who are a cornerstone of the valley tourism. Dozens of area businesses take part In the $10 million per year indus- try built around the pur- suit of Alaska's largest salmon. Whitmore and other biol- ogists met with hundreds of people and businesses while trying to come up with the most effective, but least painful, plan. "It never seems to get any easier," Whitmore said. Pushed by the state's tourism boom, Alaska sport fishing has been growing steadily at 4 per- cent a year for a decade. Fisheries biologists have often had to scramble to find fisheries that could support that growth while protecting relatively small streams and rivers — such as the Deshka — vulnera- ble to overfishing. For those biologists, the Deshka proved to be both a huge success and a big failure. Through the 1980s, king salmon catches and returns climbed steadily. The angler take got a boost in 1988, when the Deshka Landing commer- cial boat launch opened, making the Deshka accessi- ble to almost anyone with a watercraft. It put the river mouth four miles — instead of 23 miles — from the nearest launch site. By 1991, king returns had started to fall for rea- sons that have yet to be determined. Angling effort, mean- while, remained high and Fish and Game fell about 3,000 fish short of its spawning goal that year. But biologists though it was just an anomaly, until they got a similar count of about 8,000 spawners in the upper river the next year. A drop to fewer than 6,000 spawning fish in 1993 shocked them. By the start of last sum- mer, the state Board of Fisheries had imposed sig- nificant fishing restric- tions, including the first bait ban on the Deshka. It didn't help. Few kings came back to the Deshka to be caught. Panicked fisheries biolo- gists ordered the season shut down June 17 — al- most a month earlier than the scheduled end of the season — to save what few fish showed. Their action couldn't avert a fisheries disaster. Only 2,665 kings — little more than a fifth of the spawning goal — returned. Some biologists now be- lieve that some Deshka- bound fish were intercept- ed in a Susitna River fish- ery near the mouth of Al- exander Creek or in a sport troll fishery off Deep Creek, Delaney said, A study to determine what fish are being caught off Deep Creek is under way. "That (Deep Creek) is the largest growing king fishery in the region," sitid Whitmore. And there is some worry that restrictions on the Susitna could make it grow even more. Southcentral Alaska anglers are highly mobile, Delaney said. When king fishing turn- ed sour on the Kenai River five years ago, he said, a lot of anglers moved north to the Susitna. Now that the tables have turned, the tide could flow back in the opposite direction. "We are expecting effort to go up, but to what de- gree we don't know," Ke- nai sport fishery biologist Dave Nelson said.

ROLL CALL The meeting was called to order by Chairperson Hollier at 10:00 a.m. Members present were: Loretta Breeden, Joanna Hollier, Pauline Gross, Georgetta Funk, Gene Seay, Roger Meeks, Al Pease and Sam Huddleston. Also present were: Pat Porter, Senior Center Director; Sylvia Johnson, guest; and Sheryl Paulsen, recording secretary (filling in for Loretta Harvey). 2. APPROVAL OF AGENDA Approved unanimously. 3. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Approved unanimously. 4. OLD BUSINESS a. Nikiski Pool Transportation: Pat Porter reported that only four people signed up as being interested in swimming. After some discussion, it was decided not to take further action until more people show an interest. b. Endowment Fund: Joanna Hollier said Pat Porter had talked to the city attorney. Pat then reported City Attorney Cary Graves had found out that the Senior Connection remains a viable corporation. He suggested the number of board members be increased to as many as 12; and he offered to help with any paperwork. Pat said the Senior Connection is meeting the first part of February, and she will discuss it with them. C. Ice/Snow: Pat Porter stated she spoke with Steve Ramberg, the City's maintenance person, about the slick pavement in front of the Senior Center. He told her nothing can be done until spring; he will try to fix the problem at that time by "roughing up" the pavement. Council on Aging January 23, 1995 Page 1 d. Vehicle Request: Pat Porter stated she will include a request for another vehicle when she prepares the Senior Center's new budget next month. Pat said she also talked with Mike Navarre regarding state funding that might be available for this vehicle. Navarre told her there may be some discretionary funds available this year for such an item. 5. NEW BUSINESS a. Housing Policy: Roger Meeks said he believes people who put their name on the waiting list for Vintage Pointe Manor should have to renew their request annually. Pat Porter stated it would make her job easier if those individuals were to be responsible for notifying her yearly if they were still interested because she often has trouble reaching people to let them know space is available --and then they sometimes tell her they have changed their mind. MOTION AND VOTE: LORETTA BREEDEN MOVED TO REQUIRE PEOPLE ON THE VINTAGE POINTE MANOR WAITING LIST TO CONTACT PAT PORTER BY THE END OF JANUARY EACH YEAR TO CONFIRM THEIR CONTINUED INTEREST IN REMAINING ON THE LIST. AL PEASE SECONDED. MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. b. Legislative Committee: Loretta Breeden suggested that the Senior Center invite certain people from the community as speakers to keep the seniors abreast of what's going on. As examples, Loretta mentioned the move by the City of Kenai to invoke ambulance fees and the Borough's suspension of the property tax exemption for seniors. After some discussion it was decided that Pat will put notices of meetings/hearings about topics of general interest to seniors in the monthly newsletter. Joanna Hollier left at 10:25, turning the meeting over to Sam Huddleston. C. Greenhouse: Sylvia Johnson reported that the Beautification Committee is looking for space to house bedding plants each spring. The seeds are planted and the young plants cared for by Merle Feldman; but she has limited space. Sylvia said the City needs to provide a greenhouse -type of space for the small plants to be held until the plantings are complete in early summer. She asked Pat about plans for a solarium at the Senior Center, asking if that space could hold some plants. Pat explained that the solarium will be located between the congregate housing building and the Senior Center, and will be for use exclusively by tenants of Vintage Pointe Manor. As it will be a small space Council on Aging January 23, 1995 Page 2 and a secure space, it would not be available for such a use. d. Vintage Pointe Manor Addition: Pat Porter stated the City Council approved the lease application for the assisted living complex to be located between the Senior Center and Leif Hansen Memorial Park. Building is scheduled to begin in June of this year, with rooms ready for use in April, 1996. e. Harassment of Van Drivers: Sam Huddleston reported that the van drivers are being harassed by some passengers. He asked if there is a way to control these people. Pat Porter said the incidents should be reported to her and she will talk to the harassers. The meeting was adjourned at approximately 10:50 a.m. by Sam Huddleston. Respectfully submitted, Shery .

Carl glick SECONDED. Jack La Shot reported that since this was a commercial project exceeding $10,000 the KMC requires a landscaping/site plan review. Most of the work will be interior, there will be a soffitt and installation of a facade on the outside. The additional parking requirements have been reviewed and appear to be adequate. Chairman Walker asked if there were any questions for staff. There were none. Walker asked if there were questions or comments from the public or Planning Commissioners. Seeing and hearing none Walker called for the question.

DISCUSSION Jack La Shot reported the application is for a small home business in the suburban residential zone. The applicant picks up empty cartridges at offices, takes them to her residence, refills them, and returns them to the business. The major concern of staff is that all chemicals and chemical wastes be handled according to appropriate regulations. Phil Bryson asked if there were any signs proposed, or outside storage. La Shot said the applicant did not indicate any sign, but if there is one, it must conform to the sign code. Also, there is no outside storage indicated. Chairman Walker asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to address this item. Seeing and hearing none he brought the item back to the commission.

Lease Application - The Continuum Corp. - Leo Grasso Chairman Walker introduced the item and asked the Commission's wishes. MOTION: Carl Glick MOVED APPROVAL of the Lease Application for the Continuum Corporation, Leo Grasso. Teresa Werner-Quade SECONDED. DISCUSSION: Chairman Walker asked for a staff report. Kim Howard, Administrative Assistant, reported the applicant is proposing to construct an assisted living facility for the elderly and impaired, adjacent to the Senior Center and Congregate Housing Facility. The area is zoned General Commercial and this is a principal use in this zone. The lease would be for 99 years, but once the development was completed the applicant can purchase the property. Howard noted the applicant was in the audience to answer questions. Bill Toppa asked how many people the facility would employ? Leo Grasso said there would be three employees. The maintenance would be handled by Grasso's construction firm. This will be a private enterprise. Pat Porter thought this would be a wonderful project for the City. She said it fills a void that is very much needed in the community. The Council on Aging had reviewed the project, and were in support of the location of the facility. Phil Bryson asked if a landscaping/site plan will come before the commission before the building permit is issued. Jack La Shot said yes, the applicant wished to submit a more detailed plan for landscaping and it will come to the commission at a later date. VOTE: Bryson Goecke Toppa I Werner-Quade Vacancy Glick Walker YES YES YES YES Vacancy YES YES PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. Planning & Zoning Commission January 11, 1995 Page 4 6. PUBLIC HEARINGS a. Resolution PZ 95-1: Conditional Use Permit for Bed & Breakfast Steve & Donna Riddle - BI 1, Lot 29, Angler's Acres MOTION: Ron Goecke Moved Approval of Resolution PZ 95-1: Amendment to Conditional Use Permit, for a Bed & Breakfast, Steve and Donna Riddle. Phil Bryson SECONDED. Jack La Shot reported this was an established charter business on Angler Drive. The original conditional use permit was for an RV Park and Guide Service. There was considerable objection by the public for the RV Park portion of the permit. The application was changed to include only the guide service and approved by Council. Now the applicants wish to add a Bed & Breakfast to the existing permit. Chairman Walker opened the meeting up to public comment by asking if there were persons present who wished to address this item. PUBLIC HEARING: Delores (Dodi) Coligan, Box 4300 Soldotna, said she was representing Riddles since they were out of state. The applicants are just adding two beds to what is already there. There are many lodges, bed and breakfasts, etc. on Angler's Drive. Teresa Werner-Quade read the following statement to the Commission: The staff report states that Riddle's B&B operation is consistent with existing uses; however, some of the same concerns voiced in '89 recur. Commissioner O'Reilly asked, "Who checks to see if he (Riddle) has a DEC permit?" Answer: the Building Inspector. Evidently, this has changed given that 5 out of 7 B&B's on Angler Drive have not applied for DEC permits and the city claims it is not their job to check this. DEC claims, it is ... In reviewing procedure the '92 P&Z Comprehensive Plan states, " A clear, well written code is important not only for administrative simplicity, but also to stand any appeals or legal challenges. Although most Alaska communities have thus far avoided such challenges, many other U.S. towns and cities have been sued by developers and citizens for vague and arbitrary decisions. "The City should: d. Review the Conditional Use Section of the code (14.20.150) to ensure that rigorous standards are applied for approval of exceptional uses, and to create new requirements for implementation of the River and Tributary Site Plan Review Ordinance." Planning & Zoning Commission January 11, 1995 Page 5 Title 14.20.150 Conditional Uses outlines in (ii] "Such uses must be in harmony with the intent of the zone." Given that this subdivision is zoned RR and distinguished on the comp plan map as a 2A low density without city sewer, this is not in harmony with the intent of the zone. The KPB has no sanitarian. The city's P&Z department is the only insurance proper sanitation methods are being required along the river banks where no city sewer is available. Prior to making arbitrary decisions, let us insure that rigorous standards are applied to reduce liability for the City. Low lying land mismanagement and pollution of the river estuary is our responsibility. Ron Goecke said he appreciated the information that Werner-Quade had brought forward, but did not feel it is the City's obligation to monitor DEC regulations. Phil Bryson noted the original as -built seemed to indicate the applicant shared a water system with a neighbor. If a well is used for the public it must meet certain DEC standards. He felt it was appropriate to make sure the applicant had the proper DEC permits for the public's safety. AMENDED MOTION: Phil Bryson Moved to Amend the original motion by adding: Verification of a valid wastewater discharge permit be submitted to the city before the building permit is issued. Teresa Werner-Quade SECONDED. AMENDED MOTION VOTE: Bryson Goecke Toppa Werner-Quade Vacancy Glick Walker YES NO YES YES Vacancy YES YES MOTION PASSED BY MAJORITY VOTE. MAIN MOTION VOTE: Bryson Goecke Toppa Werner-Quade lVacancy Glick Walker YES YES YES YES Vacancy YES YES MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. Chairman Walker noted there were many developments such as this on Angler Drive he felt that area might be more suited for a Recreation zoning designation. Planning & Zoning Commission January 11, 1995 Page 6 *b. Resolution PZ 94-56: Rezoning Thompson Park (continuation) Steve Rickman, 135 Fern St., said he was opposed to rezoning to Suburban Residential (RS), he would prefer the zone be kept to a Rural Residential 1 (RR-1) designation, which would discourage multi -family units. Rickman said he lived off of Dogwood and during the recent paving project the traffic was very bad. He expressed concern that the traffic would increase if multi -family units were allowed in Thompson Park. Also he felt the value of the land would remain higher if the zone was more restrictive. Chairman Walker noted that Rickman's address was outside of the area proposed for rezoning. Walker still welcomed comments from Rickman, but just wanted to clarify that his property would not be rezoned. Rickman still wished to express concerns about smaller lots being allowed in the area. The houses would be too close together in the RS zone. Also, since the area is between Soldotna and Kenai, there seems to be less police protection. Many residents have had problems with items being stolen, and vandalism. Rickman presented a letter from Jaemi Jose which read: "We just moved into Thompson Park Subdivision in November. The thing that impresses us the most is how quiet it is. I'm afraid a Multi -family unit would ruin our neighborhood. Therefore, my husband and I are definitely against any such thing." Chairman Walker asked if there were any questions for Mr. Rickman. There were none. Walker then asked for further public comment. Seeing and hearing none he reminded the Commission this item will be heard once more, at the next P&Z meeting, at which time a decision will be made on the item. Jack La Shot noted the letter from Richard and Gayle Ross that was included in he packet. The Ross's stated they would prefer the RS-1 designation for the area. 7. NEW BUSINESS a. Goals & Objectives - 1995 Teresa Werner-Quade felt review of the Comprehensive Plan, placing a priority on meeting the criteria on page 72 of the Kenai Comprehensive Plan which states: ensure rigorous standards are applied for approval of exceptional uses and to create new requirements for implementation of the River and Tributary Site Plan Review Ordinance, should be a priority. Planning & Zoning Commission January 11,1995 Page 7 Ron Goecke felt review of the sign ordinance from the list of G&Os for 1994 be carried forward. Chairman Walker said he had a short list of items for the Commission's to think about. In addition to review of the Comp Plan, he wished to add: 2) the City endeavor to ensure regulations be met on all conditional use permits; 3) review sign ordinances; 4) participation development of CIP list; 5) continue to work with Council on the Kenai River review project. Walker asked if there were any additions or subtractions? Councilman Smalley said he agreed that regulations on cups needed to be addressed. Recent discussions have indicated that the city has stringent guidelines dealing with development along the Kenai River. He felt developing a review process and perhaps putting some "stringent" into the Code may need to be reviewed. Chairman Walker felt the Commission would need to work closely with Council on this issue. Councilman Smalley asked if the Administration could make some suggestions to the Council, (ie) setbacks, distances from septic lines, distances from fuel tanks, etc. La Shot said Staff could make some suggestions. La Shot suggested that the numbers be removed from the list so they would have equal priority. Goals & Objectives for 1995: Review of Comprehensive Plan; Insure all regulations are met on Conditional Use Permits; Review the Sign Ordinance; Participate in Capital Improvement Projects list; and work with Council on Kenai River Review Project. MOTION AND VOTE: Ron Goecke MOVED TO ADOPT the Goals and Objectives as presented and asked for UNANIMOUS CONSENT. Carl Glick SECONDED. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES PASSED BY UNANIMOUS CONSENT. 8. OLD BUSINESS 9. CODE ENFORCEMENT ITEMS Planning & Zoning Commission January 11, 1995 Page 8 10. REPORTS a. City Council Councilman Smalley noted there had been two Council meetings since the last P&Z meeting. December 21: Some people spoke about Resolution 94-83 requested property within the City of Kenai not be included in the Kenai Overlay District. The request was to postpone or delay the Council's vote on this ordinance. The City's position was that it was the City's responsibility to maintain control over the River within the City limits. Betty Glick was asked to attach the Resolution to the Borough Ordinance which would delay the Ordinance. Council discussed an addition of a solarium/greenhouse to the Senior Center. Historic District Board requested that an ad -hoc member from P&Z be placed on the Board. Smalley asked if the Commission wished to appoint an ad -hoc member to the Historic District Board? January 4th - There is a vacancy on the P&Z Commission. Council asked the City Clerk to notify other commission members to see if they wanted to transfer to the P&Z commission. Tim Navarre spoke in regards to the Kenai Transfer Site. Council was concerned the hours of operation would not be appropriate during the week. Navarre agreed to take Council's recommendations for hours of operation back to the Borough for discussion. Health and Social Services have asked to renew their lease for the Health Center in City Hall. The lease was renewed but the city is asking the state to set aside funds to building the Public Health Nurses make space available in the old courthouse. Chairman Walker asked if there was discussion on the money which was already appropriated for a public health facility? Hal Smalley said no. Smalley noted the CIP list which was included in the packet. Item b. was a combination of money of roll-over grants which the city needs to reapply for. Jack La Shot said that money was left over from the Thompson Park project and the city must get permission to reappropriate this money. The Animal Control Shelter is still on the list, the City believes this is a project that needs to be completed. The City is discussing charging ambulance fees. The City is in need of a new ambulance which would cost about $125,000. The Council instructed the City Manager to apply for a matching grant to obtain this ambulance. Chairman Walker asked for a brief intermission at 8:20. The meeting reconvened at 8:30. Planning & Zoning Commission January 11, 1995 Page 9 b. Borough Planning Phil Bryson reported on agenda items including: Ordinance 94-56 which establishes procedures for issuance of construction of utilities by utility companies in ROWs. This has gone through several work sessions. Ordinance 94-57 proposes to establish regulations in established ROWs within the Borough. If people are interest in public access to the river, etc. they should keep apprised of this ordinance. It appears it would limit public access to the river. Ron Goecke asked if this meant all ROW's within the Borough. Bryson said it was dedicated ROWs on plats, outside of incorporated cities. Goecke said he wondered how, if it's across State lands, how the Borough can control this. Bryson said he did not feel they could. c. Administration Jack La Shot noted the memo that had been handed out before the meeting. He had spoken to Karen Olsen of K&O Towing earlier in the day. Her company had run out of money, but are working to obtain funding to continue the project. He asked the Commission if they had any suggestions about how to handle people who have been notified about disposing of junk vehicles, who have been granted an extension until the car crusher notifies them. There were no suggestions. d. Historic District Board - Appointment of Ad -Hoc P&Z Member to Board. Bill Toppa volunteered to serve as the ad -hoc member for this Board. MOTION AND VOTE: PHIL BRYSON MOVED THAT BILL TOPPA REPRESENT THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AS AN AD -HOC MEMBER OF THE HISTORIC DISTRICT BOARD 11. PERSONS PRESENT NOT SCHEDULED 12.

COMMISSION COMMENTS & QUESTIONS Chairman Walker said he was wanting the Commission members to take an active role in accomplishing the Goals & Objectives. He asked Teresa Werner-Quade to bring forth ideas on how to review the Comprehensive Plan. Werner-Quade agreed to this. Walker asked the whole Commission to endeavor to ensure that Conditional Use Permits are adhered to. Walker asked Ron Goecke to work on review of the Sign Ordinance. Bill Toppa will serve on the Historic District Board. The entire Commission should participate in the CIP list. Walker asked Phil Bryson, Carl Glick to work with himself and Council very closely on the Kenai River Review. Commissioners concurred with these assignments. Walker asked the Commission to bring forth any additional ideas they might have. Councilman Smalley would suggest to Council that any time the City deals with the Kenai River Ordinance the Commission be notified, or at least the three members who have been identified. Teresa Werner-Quade asked if all Commissioners had a copy of the Comprehensive Plan. Bill Toppa did not, but Loretta Harvey said she would get him a copy. Phil Bryson wished to clarify a motion he made earlier. He did not view his request for verification of a wastewater permit as approval of the CUP, he felt it was just a piece of xerox they need to provide the city with. DEC has the mandate to protect State waters both their use and contamination. Bryson felt for the State to play the game of one agency against another is reprehensible. Councilman Smalley noted that January 22nd is Friends of Library day and invited the Commission to attend. Planning & Zoning Commission January 11, 1995 Page 11 14. ADJOURNMENT Chairman Walker asked that an item be placed on the next agenda for discussion on the Comprehensive Plan. There being no further business, Carl Glick moved for adjournment.

Resolution PZ 95-4: Amending KMC 14.20.320 Definitions U MOTION: Ron Goecke MOVED for approval of Resolution PZ 95-4. Carl Glick SECONDED. N Chairman Walker asked for staff comments. Jack La Shot reported this and the next resolution are housecleaning items that have A cause some confusion in the past. This resolution has to do with comer lots. There have been problems with platted right-of-ways (ROW) that intersect. When one ROW may contain a constructed street and the other one doesn't. On such lots the city has P taken the position that the setback should be the same on either side. The City Attorney has agreed that the setback could be from the constructed side. This creates a problem on the unconstructed side. If a road is put through after construction, it would create a non -conforming situation. P Teresa Werner-Quade, noted that Title 14 is where the definitions are found and in those definitions "corner lot" is very clear. She felt if the clause, °any future streets" is D added there should be a definition of a future street. There is now a definition for street and corner lot, but there is not definition for future intersecting street. La Shot said any platted ROW can be a future street. O Teresa Werner-Quade asked if the city wanted an aliquot breakdown and a gridiron pattern than? Is that how the Building Official will determine future streets? La Shot said the city would take it to mean platted ROW, or a government easement that exists, whenever there is a future planned street. MOTION TO TABLE: E Teresa Werner-Quade MOVED to table this item until a definition of "future intersecting streets" is provided. Karen Mahurin SECONDED. D Planning & Zoning Commission January 25, 1995 Page 2 VOTE: Bryson Goecke Toppa Werner-Quade Marhurin Glick Walker YES YES YES YES YES YES NO Chairman Walker noted the item was tabled until a definition is brought forward for "future intersecting streets".

Resolution PZ 94-56: Rezoning Thompson Park (continuation) V Chairman Walker noted this was a continuation of a public hearing on this item, and opened the meeting for public comment. There was none. Chairman Walker asked for Staff comment. E Jack La Shot reported that the city initiated this rezone, due to the installation of a sewer and water system in this area. The staff would recommend that the area be rezoned to RS-1 in light of public testimony. The reason the rezone was initiated as D RS was to get public input. ll Planning & Zoning Commission January 25, 1995 Page 4 Chairman Walker brought the item back to the Commission, and noted this was the last night for action on this item. Carl Glick asked if the original motion could be restated (made November 9, 1994). T T RESTATED MOTION: V Ron Goecke MOVED to bring back to the floor Resolution PZ 94-56 to Rezone Portions of Thompson Park. Bill Toppa SECONDED. N AMENDED MOTION: q Phil Bryson MOVED to AMEND the MOTION to modify the Resolution from RS to A RS-1 pursuant to the Kenai Zoning Code. Carl Glick SECONDED. Chairman Walker asked for additional staff comments. 7� Jack La Shot felt that public testimony brought forward two major concerns of the property owners in Thompson Park. These were: multi -family dwellings and lots sizes being decreased too much. The RS-1 zone will limit multi -family dwellings to duplexes P and will make the minimum lot size 12,500 s.f. The RS zone allows 7,200 s.f. and allows up to 6-family dwellings without a conditional use permit. Chairman Walker noted there were no persons in the public to comment on this item 11 so he brought it back to the Commission for comment. Phil Bryson said he also felt that the public testimony indicated residents were O interested in protecting the area from small lots and also to keep it a semi -rural environment. Bryson felt an RS-1 was an appropriate designation in light of the public's wishes. `, Karen Mahurin asked if people who testified had suggested an RS-1 zone, or if this v came from staff and the Commission? Carl Glick noted there were some individuals who requested an RS-1 zone, if the area E was rezoned at all. He did not remember anybody agreeing with the RS zone. If the RS-1 designation was approved, it would limit multi -family dwellings, which he felt would satisfy the residents in Thompson Park. D Kevin Walker said he did not support the amendment, as he did not care for the minimum lot size allowed in the RS-1. He felt that most of the people who testified wanted the area to remain the same, so he did not support the main motion either. The present zone would allow 20,000 s.f. lots with water and sewer. Walker again Planning & Zoning Commission January 25, 1995 Page 5 stated he would not support either motion, as he felt the residents of Thompson Park wanted to be left alone. AMENDED MOTION VOTE: To modify PZ Resolution 94-56 to rezone portions of Thompson Park to RS-1. U Bryson Goecke Toppa Werner-Quade Marhurin Glick Walker YES YES YES YES NO YES NO MOTION PASSED. MAIN MOTION VOTE: To rezone portions of Thompson Park to RS-1. Bryson Goecke Toppa I Werner-Quade Marhurin Glick I Walker NO YES NO NO NO YES NO MOTION FAILED. 7. NEW BUSINESS N 0 a. Schedule February 8th meeting to Library Conference Room D Loretta Harvey noted that Council had requested this change as a public hearing on i� proposed ambulance fees has been scheduled for Council Chambers on this night. Commissioners concurred to meet in the Library Conference Room. 0 b. Discussion on Comprehensive Plan Review Teresa Werner-Quade had provided an outline on how to review the Comp Plan. She said it was just a proposed outline and she invited the Commission to give input on this item. Chairman Walker felt the Commission could cover the review in a forthright and E orderly manner. He felt the outline was appropriate and he wanted to start with the Land Use Plan. He asked if the Commission had any objections to reviewing the Land Use Plan at the next meeting. There were none. D Councilman Smalley suggested that the Transportation may want to be moved up on the proposed schedule. The Spur Highway construction is scheduled to begin this summer and the Commission may want to look at Transporation early in the review process. Planning & Zoning Commission January 25, 1995 Page 6 8. OLD BUSINESS 9. CODE ENFORCEMENT ITEMS 10. REPORTS a. City Council Councilman Smalley reported on agenda items including: Kathy Scott gave a presentation on a Healthy Communities Leadership Workshop. The Council will be sponsoring a student from Kenai High School to attend this workshop. Lei 01 0 Ordinance No. 1623-95 increasing estimated revenues and appropriations by $302, 379 for water well development. This is the exploratory well the city has been looking P at developing. Water improvement is the top priority on the Capital Improvement Project list. Lease application for Leo Grasso and Verdugo for Lot 1, Spur S/D, Senior Citizen P Addition was passed by Council. The Council felt this living center would be an excellent addition to the City of Kenai. The KBVCC - is still having trouble with humidification and lighting damaging some of R the displays. Several options are being investigated to solve this problem. New Animal Control Center - this project is still on the CIP list. A tour of the facility O and potential inspection of the facility is to be scheduled. Council feels this item is needed, and may be seeking matching funds to build a new center. Grader gates - have been installed on the street graders. Smalley said he had heard V all positive comments so far. Chairman Walker asked about the City increasing the amount of purchase orders that do not require Council approval from &1,000 to $2,500. E Councilman Smalley said this was recommended by the Finance Director because with inflation many of the city's purchases exceed $1,000. This change will cut down on administrative time and facilitate easier access to needed repairs and supplies. Chairman Walker wanted to comment on the KBVCC situation with the humidifier and lighting. Walker asked if there has been any discussion with the project engineer about his responsibility for these items. Planning & Zoning Commission January 25, 1995 Page 7 Councilman Smalley said that Mr. Kluge spoke at length on this at the meeting. The information the Council has received, is that the city received what it requested per the plans. b. Borough Planning U Phil Bryson reported on agenda items including: Steve Porter of Arco, made a presentation about exploration plans of Arco within the N Borough. Ordinance 94-57: the Assembly substituted this for the original motion and then tabled A A the motion until March. This ordinance refers to public easements and Bryson is concerned that it doesn't address pedestrian access. Bryson felt that pedestrian access would not be prohibited and such wording should be clearly presented in the ordinance. P The Borough Planning Director, Dick Troeger, will be retiring in the next few months. Bryson relayed that Troeger will be missed, he has been a very good person to work with. P There will a public meeting held in Cooper Landing to take testimony concerning the mining claim problems. Specifically, permanent and semi -permanent structures encroaching on mining claims. R c. Administration Jack La Shot reported he had attended a work session concerning the Kenai River 0 Overlay District. He had provided the information to the Council and asked them if they wished to form a committee to work on this. La Shot had been on vacation so he asked Smalley if Council had made a decision on this. V Councilman Smalley said the Council felt the City had made their position clear and would not be changing their decision. E d. Historic District Board Loretta Harvey reported that the Board has requested that Council consider developing a Interpretative Site on the Daubenspeck property. This property was the site of the original Kenai village of Ski'tuk. The Board is also requesting that this property be rezoned to Townsite Historic to protect its historic character. The City should be receiving status as a Certified Local Government in the near future. Planning & Zoning Commission January 25, 1995 Page 8 11. PERSONS PRESENT NOT SCHEDULED 12. INFORMATION ITEMS Chairman Walker noted the letter the Mayor had sent in regards to the Kenai River U Overlay District. Walker thought it conveyed the City's stance very appropriately to the Assembly. 13. COMMISSION COMMENTS & QUESTIONS N Ron Goecke noted he will be unavailable for the March 8th meeting. Bill Toppa said he also would be unable to attend the March 8th meeting. A Karen Mahurin said she was excited to be back on the Planning and Zoning Commission and looked forward to working with the Commissioners. P Hal Smalley welcomed Karen Mahurin to the Commission and thanked her for her dedication and work on the Historic District Board. 14.

PERSONS PRESENT SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD 5. HISTORIC BOARD REVIEW Historic District Board January 24, 1995 Page 1 6. NEW BUSINESS a. Recreating the Village of Ski'tuk Chairperson Gray noted the Board had discussed taking a pro -active stance toward preservation. This would include earlier history of Kenai, such as the original native village, which was located on what is now near the old FAA site and the Kenai Packers area. Gray felt this would be an excellent site for an interpretive site. Alan Boraas noted the village name Ski'tuk, meant °where we slide down". Boraas said there are some early photographs of the village and bodies have been excavated during construction projects, before such sites were protected. Roger Meeks reported that Ken Jordan had lived in this area in one of the FAA houses. Johnson had found numerous arrowheads and other evidence of the village. Diane Rathman agreed this would be a good spot for an interpretative site and that the National Endowment was looking for sites to develop into interpretative sites. There may be funding available to help develop such a site. Roger Meeks felt this property should be rezoned to Townsite Historic as this would protect the area until it can be utilized by the city. Jim Arness thought the property was given to the city (by Daubenspeck) and designated for recreational purposes. MOTION AND VOTE: Roger Meeks MOVED the city rezone the Daubenspeck property to TSH zone and look into the possibility of developing an interpretative site there, because this is the site of the original native village of Ski'tuk. Rose Ann Murphy SECONDED. DISCUSSION: Dorothy Gray felt it would be good to get the Kenaitze Tribe involved in development of an interpretative site. Alan Boraas said he could begin drafting some signs that would give a history of the early village. VOTE: Chairperson Gray asked who was in favor of the motion. There were none opposed. MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. Historic District Board January 24, 1995 Page 2 b. Alaska Heritage Development Conference - May 4-6, 1995 Chairperson Gray noted the memo in the packet regarding the conference. Loretta Harvey had requested the City send her to this conference and it would be beneficial for a Board member to attend also. MOTION: Roger Meeks MOVED that Dorothy Gray attend this conference as a representative of the Kenai Historic Board. Wanda Carlson SECONDED. DISCUSSION: Jim Arness felt that the Historic District Board was developed to ask for money from the City. Attending conferences does not always produce a return to the city. Arness said he would be voting against sending a member of the Board unless it would specifically benefit the city. Wanda Carlson felt the group could learn a lot from someone going to such a conference. She felt it would greatly benefit the city, because the historic preservation effort was fairly new, and there was still a lot to learn about it. Chairperson Gray reported she had attended a similar conference last year and felt it was beneficial. That conference did not focus on the economic impact of historic preservation and heritage tourism. Alan Boraas expressed his belief that historic development should never be done with tourism in mind. He felt it might be beneficial to attend such a seminar, but to sift carefully through the information. Diane Rathman thought it would be very beneficial to send a representative to the Conference. Arness called for the question. VOTE: Yes - 3 No - 4 Abstain: Chairperson Gray Motion failed by majority vote. C. Goals & Objectives 1995 Chairperson Gray noted the preservation plan outline in the packet.

Preservation Needs Assessment Survey Loretta Harvey reported the City Manager had passed this item on to the Board for input. Roger Meeks felt a good project would be to develop the beach trail. The bridge needs to be replaced. Chairperson Gray suggested the signage might be addressed. Gray asked that the Board bring back any additional ideas to the February meeting. Historic District Board January 24, 1995 Page 4 e. Fort Kenay Roof Replacement Chairperson Gray reported Fort Kenay was in need of a new roof and she wanted to get an idea whether a metal roof would be allowed on that building. The Board's consensus was, that as long as the roof was a natural color compatible with the zone it would be okay. 7. OLD BUSINESS a. Archeological Survey/Inventory-Mission Street Improvement Project Chairperson Gray noted the correspondence which has been sent and asked Loretta Harvey to contact Russell Sacket in regards to the request for a survey. 8.

MOTION: Councilman Measles MOVED for the adoption of Ordinance No. 1623- 95 and Councilwoman Monfor SECONDED the motion. There were no public comments.

Kornelis stated he thought it would be next year before it would be fully developed. Williams added it would be known by July 1 if there will be grant funding from the Legislature. Measles asked if the intended site was on City property. Kornelis stated it is Borough property. They are investigating whether the property could be purchased or leased. Williams reported the State has had great concern over the past years in regard to water rights. Kornelis stated the package includes acquisition of the water rights by the City of Kenai. C-3.

The cost of an interim report was not included in the cost estimate. Clark requested direction from Council whether to purchase the interim report or not. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 18, 1995 Page 5 Clark also stated Public Works recommended the purchase of additional risk assessment work be done at this time as it would be more costly to do it later. Also, the risk assessment could be more extensive than that required for a site assessment. The cost of the risk assessment work was stated as $556.00. Williams thanked staff for the preparation of the memorandum. Williams added he also did not believe Northern Test Labs should be paid for work they began without receiving the go-ahead from the City. Williams agreed the interim report should be purchased.

Nelson & Associates for the Not -to -Exceed Amount of $12,498.00. MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED for approval of Resolution No. 95-4 and Councilman Measles SECONDED the motion. Councilman Smalley requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. There were no public comments. Measles asked if the time of completion for the different steps would be simultaneous or does one step not get started until after the completion of the previous step. The information noted completion to be from one to three years. Measles asked if the time of completion estimate was a wild guess. Kornelis answered it was a rough estimate. There would be different contracts for different portions of the work. Williams referred to page two of the 12/27/94 letter from Wm. Nelson where it discusses the purchase of an Aquifer Yield Study. Williams asked if the council needed to decide whether to have the study done. Kornelis stated the engineer has recommended the study be made first and then take another look at whether to go forward with the additional work. Kornelis added they will do the study and if it shows there is enough water the work would then go ahead. VOTE: There were no objections to the motion. SO ORDERED. C-8. Resolution No. 95-5 - Transferring $3,377 in the Telemetry System/Water and Sewer Improvements Capital Project Fund for Additional Inspection Charges. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 18, 1995 Page 8 C-8a. Resolution Approval. MOTION: Councilman Bookey MOVED for adoption of Resolution No. 95-5 and Councilwoman Monfor SECONDED the motion. Alan Houtz - Houtz stated he believed they saved a substantial amount of money for the city over the whole project. A portion of the telemetry equipment was tested for Inlet Woods. At that time they did not feel good about the equipment. He recommended to Kornelis and La Shot that equipment be purchased individually. They sole -source purchased the "WonderWare" software because it was requested by Sewer Treatment Plant operators. It can be configured to be used for monitoring the sewer system. The rest of the equipment was put out for bid and installation. A lot of coordination of suppliers and equipment was required. This took a lot more time than estimated. They proceeded without City go-ahead, however the work was completed right before the first heavy snowfall. Going ahead with the work was good. VOTE: There were no objections to the motion. 80 ORDERED. C-8b. Inspection Contract Increase - Water & Sever Telemetry Installation Inspection/IISCO - $6,750. MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED to approve the additional inspection fee to IISCO attached to Item C-8a. Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion and requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. C-9. 1995/96 Liquor License Renewal Application - Don Jose's Restaurant & Cantina - Beverage Dispensary. Clerk Freas reported her last discussions with the Borough indicated there were penalties and interest unpaid by the applicant. She was told that the payment was received late from the applicant. The applicant had requested the Borough Mayor to forgive the penalties and interest, however it was doubtful this would happen. Freas added the penalties and interest would be an obligation to the City. Councilman Measles asked if the amount owed was for penalties and interest. Freas stated that was what had been reported to her. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 18, 1995 Page 9 MOTION: Councilman Measles MOVED a letter of non -objection be sent for the renewal application for 1995-96 liquor license of Don Jose's. Councilwoman Monfor SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. C-10. 1995 Games of Chance and Contests of Skill Permit Application - Palmer Emblem Club #338.

Council on Aging Councilwoman Swarner reported the next meeting of the Council will be held on Monday, January 23, 1995. She will not be able to attend the meeting. D-2. Airport Commission Councilman Measles reported the Commission met on January 12 and the minutes of that meeting were included in the packet. D-3. Harbor Commission Councilman Bookey reported the Commission met on January 9. There was discussion in regard to the access ramp which would be discussed by Council later in the meeting. Also, the Chair stated he believed the city has been misconstrued in regard to the Borough's proposed overlay ordinance. He would like the KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 18, 1995 Page 10 Council to go to the public in regard to their stand. Bookey reported he told the Commission he did not believe it was necessary to do so. D-4. Library Commission Councilwoman Monfor reported the minutes of the last meeting were included in the packet. Monfor reminded Council and persons in the audience of the Friends of the Library annual tea to be held at the library. D-5. Parks & Recreation Commission Councilman Bannock reported the minutes of the Commission's last meeting were included in the packet. Their membership is at full staff. Bannock reported the Commission will be purchasing a new Big Toy for one of the city parks. Williams referred to Item D in the minutes. Williams stated the Council did not appropriate $1 million. Williams also questioned the non-use of JTPA workers on the summer crew. McGillivray explained that they have used JTPA workers in the past. However, People Count, who had been coordinating the program and doing the necessary paperwork, chose not to be involved with the program anymore. At this time, there has not been anyone else in town who wants to take on the responsibility. Williams asked if Parks & Recreation would be involved in the program if a sponsor could be found. McGillivray stated yes, if someone else would do the paperwork. Williams stated he would scout around for a sponsor for the program. Planning & Zoning Commission Councilman Smalley reported a copy of the recent meeting's agenda was included in the packet. Smalley also reported Commissioner Toppa volunteered to be an ad hoc member of the Historic District Board. Sharing this responsibility with other commission members was also discussed. The Commission also elected officers for the 1995 year. Kevin Walker was re-elected as chair and Carl Glick was re-elected as vice -chair. Smalley reviewed actions taken at the meeting: an inside expansion of the Merit Inn was approved; a home occupation permit was approved; the lease application for an assisted living facility was approved; an amendment to an existing conditional use permit for a charter business was discussed at length and then approved. Smalley added a public hearing on the potential KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 18, 1995 Page 11 rezoning of Thompson Park continued. Some spoke in opposition, wanting the zoning to remain as Rural Residential. Those who spoke against rezoning do not want the lot sizes to be smaller. Swarner asked if they discussed apartment buildings being built in the subdivision. Smalley explained the code, as it is now, allows six-plexes, depending on the size of the lot. If the zoning is changed to Suburban Residential, apartment buildings could be allowed. Smalley reported the last public hearing will be held at the meeting on January 25. A recommendation will then be made. The Commission also discussed goals and objectives for 1995. They will investigate the possible review of the Spur Highway corridor. The Commission also wants to continue participating in forming the CIP list and will be reviewing the Comprehensive Plan. Smalley added the Commission also wants to work on the Kenai River review and the potential of strengthening ordinances within the area so the City has the protection it feels necessary in that area. Planning & Zoning ordinances are continually changing as the city continues to grow. The Commission is looking forward to working with the Council and attending meetings at the Borough level in regard to the overlay ordinance. In regard to code enforcement, Smalley reported the crusher company, discussed at the last council meeting, intends to take care of the vehicles listed on the enforcement list. However, the company is experiencing monetary problems at this time. They are trying to get additional funds to come back and do the work. Smalley reported the Commission was one member short as Lori McComsey resigned. Williams requested a thank -you letter be prepared to send to Lori McComsey. Williams noted applications for Planning & Zoning which were included in the packet, as well as one added to the agenda at the beginning of the meeting. Applications on file were from John Booth, Mary Burton, Barbara Waters and Karen Mahurin (Mahurin requested to be moved from the Townsite Historic Board). Williams recommended Mahurin because she had been a member previously and has lived in the area for approximately 25 years. There were no objections to appointing Karen Mahurin to the Planning & Zoning Commission. Williams requested a letter of appointment be sent to Mahurin.

This item will be brought to Council again at budget time. Williams referred to the letter of resignation from Kim Booth which was distributed to Council at the beginning of the meeting. Booth was in attendance. Williams stated Council's regret that Ms. Booth resigned, but understood that her new responsibilities at the Visitors Center, along with her co -worker's participation on the Committee, would make it difficult for her to attend the meetings, etc. Williams referred to the memorandum included in the packet stating the Beautification Committee's request to have a member from the Parks & Recreation Commission act as an ad hoc member to the Beautification Committee and attend Committee meetings as well. Councilman Measles suggested this be a reciprocal arrangement with a member of the Beautification Committee attending Parks & Recreation Commission meetings as well. Measles also suggested the Parks & Recreation Commission make the appointment of an ad hoc member and the Beautification Committee make their appointment of an ad hoc member. Councilwoman Swarner stated the Beautification Committee feels that someone should attend their meetings from the Parks & Recreation Commission, but do not feel one of their members needs to attend Parks & Recreation Commission meetings. Swarner added the Committee members seem to forget they are under the Parks & Recreation Commission. McGillivray stated one of the difficulties for a Commission member to attend their meetings is that the meetings are at 1:30 in the afternoon. Swarner explained that has been mentioned to the Committee as well and it has been suggested they change the time of their meetings. The Committee chooses not to change the time of their meetings. Williams stated he would write a letter to the Committee and the Commission and discuss these matters with them. BREAK TAKEN: 8:15 P.M. BACK TO ORDER: 8:32 P.M.

Verdugo, d/b/a The Continuum Corp./Lot 1, Spur Subdivision, Senior Citizen Addition. NOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED for approval of the lease application to Leo A. Grasso and John D. Verdugo, d/b/a The Continuum Corporation, Lot 1, Spur Subdivision, Senior Citizen Addition. Councilman Bookey SECONDED the motion. Leo Grasso - Asked Council if they had any questions. Councilwoman Monfor stated when Grasso first came to Council with the information on the assisted living facility, she was skeptical. However, since Grasso came forward with the floor plan sketch and artist rendering of the building, she has become very excited about the project. The facility will be bringing new people to the area as visitors to the facility, as well as residents of the facility. Monfor also noted the artist rendering of the facility shows the building as looking very compatible to the congregate housing and senior center facilities. Grasso stated the building will have different roof lines when completed. They will be starting the construction plans next week. Their main concern is that there is a real need for this type of facility. They chose Kenai because Kenai wants the facility. They are looking forward to building this facility and other projects in the area. They hope to progress in a timely manner and have the facility open by next spring. Councilman Bookey asked how the city video was accepted. Grasso answered very well. Grasso added he took the video all over the country and people really liked it. The length of the video was also very good. It was very professionally done. Grasso stated he took a copy to Washington, DC and those seeing it were very impressed. Williams suggested copies of the video be sent to Senators Stevens and Murkowski and Congressman Young. Grasso added the facility will be an economic benefit to the City, i.e. property taxes, employment. The facility will house eight to 12 units to begin with. It will depend on the bank whether they can build twenty units in the first phase. ASHA is also interested in the facility. Williams asked Pat Porter if she thought there would be 20 people in the area who could use the facility. Porter stated she had not done any studying, however she knew of five or six in the KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 18, 1995 Page 15 congregate housing facility who may want to move into an assisted living facility in the near future. At this time there are 70 people on the waiting list for the congregate housing facility. Porter reminded Council the assisted living facility would be for not only elders, but other needing people in the community as well. Grasso stated they will be starting a marketing plan. They have selected an administrator for the facility. They will be targeting Kenai people for the remainder of the employees. They want career -oriented people living in the area as employees. They plan to offer benefits with the jobs in order to keep people working with them. VOTE: Councilman Measles requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. There were no objections. 80 ORDERED. Williams referred to the draft letter of support for the assisted living facility included in the packet. Williams asked if Council had any objections to the letter. There were no objections. H-5. Approval - Float Access Ramp Design and Inspection/ Wm. J. Nelson & Associates - $12,920. MOTION: Councilwoman Monfor MOVED that the City enter into a contract with Wm. J. Nelson & Associates to design and inspect a float access ramp at the Kenai City Dock for $12,920, according to Nelson's proposal dated December 14, 1994. Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion. Councilwoman Monfor requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. There were no objections. 80 ORDERED. H-6. Approval - Change Order No. 1, Telemetry System Installation/Jahrig Electric - $5,276.00. Kornelis explained the change order was in conjunction with the earlier discussion regarding the telemetry system. Kornelis added Mr. Houtz explained why there were cost overruns earlier in the meeting and was still available in the audience to answer any questions. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 18, 1995 Page 16 MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED to approve Change Order No. 1 for the telemetry system installation project in the amount of $5,276.00. Councilman Measles SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. MOTION: H-7. Discussion - Request for State Grants/New Animal Control Shelter. Kornelis stated the blueprints/plans were available for council to review. Also there was information included in the packet explaining the need for an upgraded facility. The meeting stood at ease from 8:46 p.m. to 8:50 p.m. for council to review the plans. Council reviewed and discussed the memoranda included in the packet. Animal Control Officer Godek stated the 1994 year's end report would be available at the end of January as they had just gotten done with the disposition of December's animals. Williams stated the animal shelter was rated lower on the CIP list because of the need for water wells. He would really like to see if matching grant money might be available in Juneau and if it is, build the shelter. Councilwoman Monfor asked if there was a chance of getting funding from the Borough. Williams stated he would talk with Mayor Gilman about it and request that he take the discussion to the Assembly. Williams added he would like the media to take a tour of the building in order that the story would get some media attention. At this time approximately 25,000 people are being served by the shelter and that is part of the problem. There is a tremendous amount of exposure to more than the Kenai community. Smalley reported he spoke with an Assembly representative and was told there is a potential for funding from the Assembly. They have Borough money for animal control. The unfortunate aspect of the project is the cost. The question from the citizenry would be why must an animal shelter be this costly. Smalley suggested the press might be able to get the point across why it is costly and why it is so badly needed. Smalley also noted the present shelter offers concerns of safety to the employees, animals and others who enter the building. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 18, 1995 Page 17 Godek stated the facility cannot be built like an apartment complex. It must be built like an institution. The cost per square foot for animal shelters nationwide is $90/sf. Williams stated he would like to continue working on finding funding for the shelter project. He will discuss the matter with Mayor Gilman and suggest splitting of the cost of the facility with the Borough, etc. H-8. Discussion - Kenai Bicentennial Visitors & Cultural Center - Humidifier and UV Lighting. There was a lengthy discussion in regard to the lighting and the humidification problems at the Center. Bill Kluge - Architect and designer of the building. Kluge stated the Center was designed for multi -media exhibits and all the exhibits require different environments, i.e. some need low humidification and some high. Kluge agreed that when art work is exhibited in the building, the UV lighting needs to be limited. Glazing is good and Kluge recommended it. Glazing would cost approximately $1,600. Kluge also recommended a third pane of glass be added which would act as a storm window. This pane would be additional insulation and it would be clear. Adding tubes over the fluorescent lights would be a good idea, however he did not know how much of the UV rays would be screened out. Kluge also suggested the lights be turned off in the exhibit rooms when there is no one in the rooms. Kluge discussed the humidification with the engineer who worked on the design. His recommendation was that to take care of the exhibits properly, it needs to be done on a material -type basis and control the environment at each display case. Bookey stated he agreed with Kluge. Bookey reported he spent an hour with the director and curator of the Center. He is concerned the building is wanting to be used for more than what it was originally designed. It was not planned to become a Smithsonian -type institution. Bookey also discussed the humidification problem with them. He feels that without more engineering or design, adding a humidification system could be more detrimental to the exhibits. Individual cabinets and cases that are humidity controlled may be better. Bookey reported there is grant money available to have a diagnosis made of the building in regard to humidification. He would like council to hold off on putting money into a humidification system and have the Center apply for the grant. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 18, 1995 Page 18 Bookey added he was dismayed that the curator of the Center had not been included in discussions in regard to the humidification system. Kluge stated he used the information from the memorandum forwarded to the City and then to him from Sue Carter when the problem was first discussed with council. Kluge reported the damage to the Bicentennial quilt was because the quilt was against a light. Swarner stated she appreciated the suggestion to turn off the lights in the exhibit rooms when no one is in the rooms. Swarner asked Kluge if he thought about glazing the north windows when designing the building. Kluge answered no, because they are the north windows. Swarner stated she was concerned there was not more research done at the time of the design. Swarner asked why they were not using full spectrum lights in the building now. Kluge answered the cost is very high for those types of lights. Swarner stated she would like to go ahead with the protective glazing on the north windows and light sleeves on the fluorescent lights. Swarner also agreed they should hold off on installing a humidification system. Kluge stated he believed it would be wise to find out how much lighting would be lost with installation of sleeves before they are installed. Kornelis stated he was informed it would lower the lights from 2,700 to 2,100. Kluge stated he did not think that would be a concern. Williams stated the discussion could go on for years. They really do not know what they should do for the problem. Bookey agreed and added they did not have the necessary information to make a good decision. Bookey stated if applied for, the grant could be awarded and the work could be done within six months. Bookey suggested special display cases be purchased for specific items. Kluge stated that at some time in the future, the north end may be expanded. At that time special cases could be built into the room for specific items. Williams stated the humidity problem happens only a small amount of time in the year. If a humidification system is installed, it may be necessary to de -humidify the building as well. Williams added he believed this was a redundant conversation. Williams suggested glasses of water be placed in the different cases for individual humidification. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 18, 1995 Page 19 Kim Booth, Director of the Center, stated they are placing glasses of water in the cases at this time. Councilman Smalley stated he was in favor of the Center applying for the grant. Smalley asked if the diagnosis would investigate the problem of the UV rays as well. Smalley added they needed to find out the problems of the UV lighting before doing the glazing because the glazing may not correct the problem. Kluge stated he did not think anything could be hurt by lowering the UV's. It would only lower the amount of lighting for the room. Discussion followed about the loss of lighting with the sleeves. Kluge stated he did not think it would hurt to add the glazing or put sleeves on the lights. If the UV's are reduced, it will help the facility. Another answer would be to have the janitor turn the lights off at night when no one is in the room. Williams suggested the humidification problem be held until the Center can apply for the grant. Swarner asked how long it would take to have the glazing and sleeves installed. Kluge stated if the materials were in stock, probably a few days. Bookey stated he would like to have spend the $1,500 for glazing and sleeves. The UV problem is from the outside lighting (the street light). There is more natural light in this facility than was in Ft. Kenay where many of the exhibits had been prior to the opening of the Center. Williams suggested the glazing and sleeves be installed and wait on the diagnosis of the humidification problem. MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED to install the glazing, UV tube guards and bulbs and Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion and requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. H-9. Discussion - Vintage Pointe Manor - 20 Additional Units. Kornelis informed Council a full cost estimate was available for anyone to review. An additional boiler (to handle the heat) and the installation of an elevator will be required. More information regarding those items was included in the memorandum included in the packet. The total cost estimate for construction of a 20-unit addition is $2,360,000. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 18, 1995 Page 20 Kornelis added schematic drawings of the building were displayed in the Chambers. The addition will not look like an addition, but part of the original building. Kornelis reported another consideration is that the addition will extend into the right-of-way. The right-of-way can be narrowed to 50 feet. This will require approval from the Planning & Zoning Commission. Williams noted the cost for the addition is estimated at $117/sq. ft. ASHA has suggested the cost for construction should not be greater than $145/sq. ft. With this information he could go to ASHA for financing. The grant money available will have to be determined and what cost there would be to the City. How to handle the debt will also have to be determined. There may be a way of revenue debt where this will become a stand-alone facility. Finance Director Brown stated he and Attorney Graves talked about this a long time ago. There is a regulation about "ten users or less." With 20 additional units, this would not work. If one user could be a corporate entity, that rents the apartments, that might be okay. They did not explore the situation anymore than that. Williams suggested directing the Administration to determine what the operating criteria would be for operating the facility and consider financing short of going to a vote. Williams added he believed the City could go to a corporate structure function under the auspices of the City government. Attorney Graves stated they might be able to do that, however, the question would be how to market the bonds. Could bonds be sold if they were from a housing corporation. Councilwoman Monfor stated she had strong feelings about borrowing federal money which has restrictions. She likes the integrity of the housing facility as it is now. It is already known the facility pays for itself. Brown stated the rent would not pay the debt service for financing the entire project. Monfor stated she would want "no strings" money. Williams stated any money from HUD or ASHA is on a percentage basis. The restrictions would only affect the percentage of units financed by their funding. Measles stated he agreed with Monfor. He would rather go to private financing. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 18, 1995 Page 21 Williams stated he believed the Council was saying the prospect looks good and they should continue examining potential financing. Council agreed. ITEM I: ADMINISTRATION REPORTS Mayor a. Kenai Municipal Airport - Williams noted the pictures distributed by Airport Manager Ernst which showed the line of jets parked at the airport. The jets had been diverted to Kenai due to fog in Anchorage. b. Challenger Center - Williams reported he and City Manager Manninen met with Pat Labner of the Alaska Aerospace Development Corporation in regard to the placement of a Challenger Center in Kenai. He will bring a full package of information to Council at their February 1 meeting. Williams informed Council he may have to be in Seattle during the meeting of February 1 and would like to attend via teleconference for this part of the meeting if possible. C. Alaska Conference of Mayors/AML Meetings - Williams reported he and Councilman Bookey will be attending meetings in Juneau from January 24-27. Williams will also take information regarding the Challenger Center to Senate President Drue Pearce and Representative Gail Phillips. d. Borough Overlay District Ordinance - Williams referred to the memorandum distributed at the beginning of the meeting from City Engineer Jack La Shot in regard to the overlay ordinance. Williams added he had heard there are "secret" memorandums being passed around at the Borough in regard to the overlay ordinance. Williams suggested that any secret memorandums should be made public. Williams requested Council to direct the Kenai Planning & Zoning Commission to officially proceed with reviewing the City's zoning ordinances in regard to what modifications may be needed to better protect the river area and present them to the Council. This study would be for review only. Williams added he would like the City to be prepared for any additional regulations added to the overlay ordinance. Councilwoman Monfor reported she had heard a comment from a person who had read the article in the paper where it reported why the City was opposed to the ordinance. The remark was that the City did not want the overlay district because of its desire KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 18, 1995 Page 22 to upgrade Cunningham park. Monfor stated she was concerned people were not interpreting the City's decision correctly. Williams disagreed, stating he had not had any negative remarks made. Most are saying not to budge from their stand. Monfor stated the person she spoke too was not saying they disagreed with the position the City has taken. It's just that if something that happens inside the City, whether it has to do with regulations of the City or not, people think it's the City's responsibility. Councilman Measles agreed that the City should continue with the direction it is taking. Measles stated he also had not heard anyone say the City should change their stand. He did not agree that the Planning & Zoning Commission should tighten up the City's ordinances. This would be like what the Borough is saying now. It could end up with people who are now supporting the City's stand, unhappy with the City because of more restrictions put on them. Smalley explained it would not be tightening up, but an overall review because of the scrutiny being given with the Borough's proposed ordinance. The review would be part of the Commission's ongoing work. Smalley added he is also hearing the City is doing the right think and continuing to be responsible. Part of the responsibility would be to continually review the City's ordinances, etc. Williams noted La Shot's memorandum and the attached updated Borough ordinance wherein it now has 17 prohibited uses. The City had been told the ordinance was to be a shell. Discussion followed regarding the restrictions and problems with enforcement of regulations along the river. Monfor stated there have been other instances where people have tried to protect their property and were fined. This was not the City's doing. Monfor cited the desire of the couple who wanted to place their property into conservation and the hoops they had to go through in order to do that. Monfor suggested that information be found and referred to in the future. Williams stated Council then would take no further official action with regard to this overlay district. Bannock urged that the Planning & Zoning Commission review the zoning ordinances very carefully. He believes the City's actions were correct and if the zoning ordinances are reviewed now, it may send a message that there is a problem with the ordinances. He would not want a knee-jerk reaction with this either. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 18, 1995 Page 23 In referring to La Shot's memorandum, Measles strongly urged that no review be made of the City's zoning ordinances at this time. Consensus of the Council was to not review the ordinances. e. Ambulance Information - Williams reported information regarding the proposed ambulance fee has been sent to approximately 40 citizens. f. Alaska Tourism Marketing Council - Williams referred to the letter from the Kenai Visitors Bureau stating they had no objections to the City's letter nominating Marion Nelson to the Alaska Tourism Marketing Council. Williams suggested a portion of the last paragraph be removed due to a change in Nelson's employment situation. There were no objections from Council on sending the letter. g. Municipal Basic services program (AMBs) - Williams referred to the draft letters to Senator Salo and Representative Navarre in support of the AMBS. Williams asked if Council had any objections to sending the letters. There were no objections. h. Foundry Proposal - Williams reported he will be meeting with a person who is interested in situating a foundry in Kenai where they would produce bronze and aluminum castings. Williams added because of this meeting, he will not be available to attend the meeting at the Borough with Seward's Mayor Crane. Williams invited other councilmembers to attend. i. Cunningham Park Update - Williams reported he will discuss Information Item 10 (added at the beginning of the meeting) with Lobbyist Ashley Reed during his visit to Juneau. j. Peninsula Winter Games - Williams referred to the letter from Peninsula Winter Games requesting a donation to aid in holding the Games. Williams noted the information included from the Clerk that $200 had been budgeted for such a donation. Williams also noted that the information from the Peninsula Winter Games stated a full -page advertisement's cost was $250. Williams asked if Council wished to raise their donation to cover the cost of a full -page advertisement. Councilwoman Monfor stated she did not want to make a donation. Monfor noted the information indicated there are no board of directors who are residents of Kenai, nor are any of the activities planned to be held in Kenai. Monfor suggested if Council wants to advertise, a quarter -page, $100 ad would be sufficient. Council consensus was not to make a donation. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 18, 1995 Page 24 k. Airport Picture - Williams suggested Clerk Freas send a copy of the airport picture and Airport Manager's report with the videos that are sent out. I-2. City Manager a. Ambulance Proposal - City Manager Manninen reported more information will be sent out for the February 8 criteria on the ambulance fee. They are proposing to delete the dedicated ambulance reserve fund and they will be suggesting that be worked into the regular budget process and funding be placed in the equipment reserve instead of a separate dedicated reserve fund as was in the previous recommendation. Other than that there are no other significant changes to the previous August and October memorandums in regard to the ambulance fee. b. Homer News Article/Information No. 10 - Manninen reported that in answer to the charge that the City of Kenai never saw a Kenai River project that it didn't like, any one that the City liked, never got funded anyway because of the people who are in charge of attending meetings didn't go to the meetings and were against the projects in the first place. Manninen added he thought if it had been known that the representative was not going to attend, somebody would have been sent. It may have been that the City's project may have dropped on the list, but there would have been a chance a presentation could have been made at the meetings in Homer. C. The Challenger Center - Manninen reported the Challenger Center package sounded really exciting. I-3. Attorney No report. I-4. City Clerk a. Minutes - Clerk Freas reminded Council that at the last meeting there was a question about the accuracy of the minutes in regard to bluff erosion discussions. Freas reported she listened to the tape and did a verbatim of that area of the minutes questioned (verbatim copies are available in her office). Freas added after listening to the tape, the minutes said what was on the tape. The comments made at the January 4, 1995 meeting and included in the January 18, 1995 meeting would help in explaining the questions asked, etc. b. Overlay District Ordinance - Freas reported Assemblyman Tim Navarre brought to her office a copy of the newest version of KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 18, 1995 Page 25 the overlay ordinance. The copy is the same as what was distributed to Council with a memorandum from Jack La Shot. C. Transfer Site - Freas reported Assemblyman Navarre also arranged for a letter to be faxed to her with an update of the changes at the transfer site. Freas read into the record a letter form Katherine Mayer, Solid Waste Director at the Kenai Peninsula Borough. Freas added to her knowledge, City Hall had not received any complaints in regard to the new hours at the site. However, Assemblyman Navarre was concerned the complaints may come after the removal of the dumpsters the first of February. d. computer Imaging system - Freas reported she, Sheryl Paulsen and Lynda Ruesch traveled to Homer to review the document imaging system they use at the City of Homer. They found it to be very interesting. While there, they learned Homer Electric Association also uses a document imaging system. There's however, is a different system than the City of Homers. They learned a lot about the advantages of the system and more information will be provided to Council later in budget sessions. e. Ambulance Fee Proposal - Freas reported she would be sending out packets of information to a list of citizens given to her by the Mayor. The information packets would be mailed by Friday afternoon. Packets of the same information will be available at City Hall. She is hoping the Peninsula Clarion will be placing an article about the proposal in the paper for added publicity. The letter attached to the packets invites people to review the information and submit or bring their comments to the special meeting on February 8. Mayor Williams stated he spoke with three specific people he had on the list of citizens to whom the packets would be sent. Two of the three indicated they would not be able to attend the special meeting. He requested they send comments back for the meeting. All three people agreed that there should be a user fee. Williams added, with that in mind, if 40 letters are sent out and none of those people come to the meeting, he will count them as positive votes to set an ambulance user fee. I-5. Finance Director No report. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 18, 1995 Page 26 I-6. Public Works Director a. Information No. 4 - Kornelis referred to the Building Permit Activity Report which indicated there were 99 building permits purchased in 1994. b. Tent Camping Area - Kornelis reported he checked on the material used for blocking off the tent camping area which was brought up at the last meeting. There is a cable across the road opening which is well -marked with fluorescent tape. C. OSHA Inspection - Kornelis reported the voluntary OSHA inspection will be held on January 24. I-7. Airport Manager a. Airport Master Plan Consultant Selection - Airport Manager Ernst reported the consultant selection for the Airport Master Plan Update was moving along. Ernst referred to his memorandum included in the packet. Ernst added he, FAA and the firm selected will be meeting on January 31 to confirm the scope of work. After that, Aries will submit a contract price. After successful negotiations of a contract price, a resolution for the award of the work will be brought to Council for approval. Williams suggested copies of the airport pictures Ernst brought to Council at the meeting be made up for display at the Visitors Center. Measles suggested still pictures from the video taken when the 747 landed and took off from the Kenai Airport should also be displayed at the Visitors Center. ITEM J: DISCUSSION J-1. citizens Bob Peters - Stated he supports the position taken by the Council in regard to the overlay district ordinance. J-2. Council Bookey - Referred to a copy of the proposed AML Platform which was included in the packet as an information item. Bookey requested comments from Council before he leaves for Juneau. Svarner - No report. Monfor - a. Monfor thanked Sheryl and Kim for the Christmas party. It was very enjoyable. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 18, 1995 Page 27 b. Monfor was approached about the possibility of annexing the Cannery Road area. She suggested the person contact Attorney Graves. c. Monfor requested the City do something for employees who retire from service of the City. She would like to see a plaque, gold pan, etc. given to those persons in appreciation of their work and dedication to the City. Williams agreed. Measles - No report. Bannock - Bannock referred to Information Item No. 5 which was a letter from the Department of Natural Resources in regard to the City's Certified Local Government grant application. Bannock was concerned that the City's Historic District Board was referred to as the Preservation Commission. He suggested this be corrected. Smalley - Smalley requested evaluations forms be forwarded to Council for the city manager, city attorney and city clerk. Smalley added he would like to do the evaluations earlier in the budgeting process instead of waiting until the last minute. Smalley added he appreciated the updates of information forwarded from the city attorney. Councilwoman Monfor stated she really liked the new CIP brochures. Very nice pictures. Councilwoman Swarner agreed with Councilman Smalley in regard to the evaluation forms. Swarner added she would like to have the evaluations scheduled earlier also. Swarner also thanked Kim for the City Christmas party. Williams stated he spoke with a number of employees and they appreciated the party being after the Christmas holiday. It was more relaxed.

Manninen, City Manager �j�t/- DATE: January 23, 1995 ,Vv RE: Kenai Tidelands/Shore Fishery Leases Since the tidelands were transferred to the city from the state in 1977, the tidelands leases for set net (shore fishery) sites were covered by KMC 11.20, Leasing of Tidelands. However, the provisions of KMC 11.20, Leasing of Tidelands have been not followed by the city in the past. It appears that the city is receiving an annual rental rate of $40.00 for a shore fishery lease site. KMC 11.20.130 declares an appraisal to be performed within six months prior to the renewal date (June 30, 1995). It is the intent of the administration to follow KMC 11.20 in all future tidelands/shore fishery leases, unless the City Council directs otherwise or amends the existing city ordinance. The terms and conditions of new leases may be determined in the Spring of 1995. ACTION NEEDED: THE CITY COUNCIL WILL BE ASKED TO MAKE A DECISION TO CONSIDER MR. CANADY'S REQUEST TO EXTEND THE CURRENT LEASE AND BOUNDARIES OF HIS CURRENT LEASE EXPIRING JUNE 30 1995. THE ADMINISTRATION'S RECOMMENDATION: THE CITY COUNCIL SHOULD FOLLOW KMC 11.20 OR AMEND THE EXISTING CITY ORDINANCE KMC 11.20, LEASING OF TIDELANDS. Unless the Mayor and City Council direct otherwise, the Administration's intent is to follow the provisions of KMC 11.20, Leasing of Tidelands, for Set Net (Shore Fishery) sites, including appraisals and procedures in KMC 11.20.070, public notice/public hearing, KMC 11.20.080, and KMC 11.20.090, selection of applicant, and other provisions of KMC Chapter 11.20, Leasing of Tidelands, with all future leases. Thank you for your consideration, input and direction on the shore fishery lease and the city's requirements in KMC 11.20.

Manninen, City Manager From: Kim Howard, Administrative Assistant Date: January 18, 1995 RE: Shore Fishery Leases The tidelands were transferred to the city from the state in 1977. Attached is a memorandum from Cary Graves, dated November 16, 1990. It was Cary's opinion that tidelands leases for set net (shore fishery) sites are covered under the provisions of KMC 11.20, Leasing of Tidelands. However, the provisions of this section of the code have not been followed in the past. Frank Canady's shore fishery lease (for Tracts 5 & 6) expires June 30, 1995. There are four other shore fishery leases that expire June, 1996. Attached is a letter from Frank Canady informing the city of his intent to re -lease his sites for another 10 years. Covenant 43 of the lease allows him a preference right to re -lease the site, although not necessarily under the same terms and conditions. The code requires the availability of tidelands advertised and applications be reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Harbor Commission, and that Council shall make the final determination. However, in the past, shore fishery leases have been renewed on the basis that the lessees had fished the sites for many years. Shore fishery lessees pay the city an annual rental rate of $40.00 for a site. KMC 11.20.130 states that no tidelands lease will be leased or renewed without an appraisal being performed within six months prior to the renewal date. In 1990, the city attempted to obtain an appraisal on a site. What we received was an evaluation of the state's and the city's shore fishery programs and an opinion that did not include a value. The document was virtually worthless and we didn't pay for it. In September of 1990, as a result of discussions between former City Manager Brighton and Attorney Ed Garnett, Garnett submitted two tideland applications on behalf of Ken and Thad Carlson. KMC 11.20.040 was not followed. The city still has the applications, filing fees and deposits. I have no knowledge of whether these individuals or any other individuals are using tidelands, with or without leases. -1- The shore fishery issue has not been dealt with since 1990. We now have a lease expiring and the administration needs direction as how to proceed. Should code provisions be followed or should the code be amended to charge shore fishery lessees $40.00 per year? Recently, I spoke with several appraisers and was referred to Affiliated Appraisers of Alaska in Anchorage. I spoke with Tom Dunagan and he indicated he could perform the type of appraisal we were looking for for approximately $1,300. KMC 11.20.110 states the applicant will furnish and pay for the survey and appraisal. Mr. Canady is also asking the Council to consider his request to extend the boundaries of his lease. He indicates other shore fishery lessees, whose leases expire next year, are also interested in extending the boundaries of their leases. Mr. Canady is travelling outside the state and would like ample notice of when this issue will be on the Council's agenda. Finally, KMC 11.20.060 (a)(2) states "The actual rate of return determined to be a fair return to the City shall be set annually by resolution of the City Council and shall apply to all leases thereafter requested." To my knowledge, this has never been done. I recommend a code amendment setting the lease rate at 6% of the fair market value, similar to the recent amendment to KMC 21.10.120 (a)(2).

Brighton City Manager FROM • �,—/Xg Cary R . Graves / Deputy City Attorney G=Cif/J GGc-�L/07�,�-lush RE: Tidelands leasing provisions of KMC 11.20 DATE: November 16, 1990 You requested this department research the question of whether the provisions of KMC 11.20 (Leasing of Tidelands) cover leases of tidelands in the city limits for set net fishing. The tidelands in question were transferred to the City from the state in 1977. The land is subject to the public trust doctrine. CWC Fisheries, Inc. v. Bunker, 755 P.2d 1115 (Alaska 1988). That doctrine provides the public holds the property in trust for the public subject to continuing public trust easements for purposes of navigation, fisheries or commerce. The patents received by the city were subject to some existing tidelands leases for set net sites. The leases were renewed by the City under terms identical to the ones previously set by the state, rather than the terms outlined in KMC 11.20. KMC 11.20 sets forth the policy for leasing tidelands property owned by the City. KMC 11.20.020 states in part: All classified tide and contiguous submerged land within the limits of the City to which the City holds title may be leased as hereinafter provided... Under that provision the tidelands owned by the City are to be leased pursuant to the requirements of KMC 11.20. Review of the provisions in KMC 11.20 do not reveal any exception to the leasing requirements for tidelands leases for set net fishing sites. Indeed, KMC 11.20.700(1) lists the uses for which tidelands may be leased under the code. One of the listed uses is for fishing. It therefore appears the drafters of the chapter intended for set net fishing site leases to be covered under the code. Page 2 - Memorandum November 16, 1990 Wm. J. Brighton Re: Tidelands leasing 41 provisions of KMC 11.20 KMC 11.20.130 states that no tidelands lease will be renewed without an appraisal being performed within six months prior to the renewal date. That appraisal is used to determine the rental rate of the renewal of five years redetermination according to the method contained in KMC 11.20.150 & 160. In summary, it is my opinion that the tidelands leases for set net sites are covered under the provisions of KMC 11.20. I am not sure why the provisions of KMC 11.20 have not been followed in the past. However, I recommend that either the code provisions are followed or the code should be amended to reflect actual leasing practices. If you have any further questions regarding this issue, please let me know.

Covenant 42 of your lease allows you a preference right to re -lease the shore fishery site. Covenant 42 also states, "Re -leasing will not necessarily be under the same terms and conditions as the prior lease." Therefore, sometime in the Spring of 1995, the City Administration will ask the City Council to make a decision as to the terms and conditions of the new lease. At that time, the City Council can also consider your request to extend the boundaries of your current lease.

The objective: to broaden the educational horizons of students and to promote the advancement of scientific knowledge. In the aftermath of the Challenger accident, the family members of the crew committed them- selves to a vision: to continue the crew's mission teaching students and educators to learn, to explore, to inspire. Their inspiration was Challenger Center for Space Science Education. The family members partnered with friends, educators, members of the business and political communities, and together they shaped this vision. The site of the first Challenger Learning Center was at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. Since then, the network has spread across the United States and Canada, joining schools, museums and universities into a unique partnership where together they provide students with the experiences of which dreams are made. Thank you for taking time to learn about the Challenger Center network. We hope that this guide will answer your questions, and we invite you to contact us for further information regarding the establishment of a Challenger Learning Center.

Much more than just a day trip, the Challenger Learning Center mission is actually a classroom simulation which begins long before visiting the Challenger Learning Center. Teacher Training Teacher training is a vital element in Challenger Center educational programs. To ensure that teachers are properly equipped with the tools that they need to instruct their students, teachers come to the Challenger Learning Center for a full day of training prior to working with their classes. They will work through the classroom simulation notebook of activities and actually fly a mission. The classroom portion of the experience begins four to six weeks prior to the mission date. Time spent on prepara- tion varies, since Challenger Center curriculum is an "add Simulation in" to the classroom curriculum. Stage Students will become familiar with the eight teams in the One Challenger Learning Center. They will also learn vocabu- lary and perform experiments and exercises relevant to each team. This also provides opportunities for them to practice teamwork and communication skills. On the day of the mission, students arrive at the Chal- lenger Learning Center with team assignments and eager smiles. They will first have an orientation by the Flight Director and the Mission Commander. Half of the group will proceed to Mission Control, and the others will go to Simulation Space Station. Stage The mission lasts about two hours, and halfway through, Two the students switch places with their counterparts in Mission Control and Space Station. Each team in Mission Control has a corresponding team in Space Station, and they work together using teamwork, communication and application of math and science skills to make the mission a success. Simulation During the mission, students take down information on Stage Data logs. Back in the classroom, students will use this information as well as their own experiences to conduct a Three "press conference" and complete approximately three weeks of follow-up work. 5 The Challenger Way The operations of Challenger Learning Center and the instructional design of their materials and activities are guided by the Challenger Way, a philosophy of learning that integrates: multidisciplinary science content teamwork critical/creative problem solving responsible decision making Challenger Center Standards of Excellence Created by partners of the Challenger Learning Center network, the Challenger Center Standards of Excellence are the criteria for maintaining an educationally sound, scientifically correct, and aesthetically appealing experience for students. Areas addressed in the Standards of Excellence include: I. Qualifications, characteristics and responsibilities of key Challenger Learning Center personnel II. Quality, consistency and emphasis of educational programs in terms of materials and the simulation experience III. Degree of outreach within the Challenger Learning Center community IV. Collection and use of feedback from evaluation forms, studies and self -monitoring instruments V. Physical appearance and maintenance of the simulator and surrounding facility (For a copy of the Standards of Excellence, please contact your Regional representative.) One of the comments that I'll long remember was that of a teacher who said, "I'm amazed at all of the different things that my children can do." That says to me that if 1 visit that teacher's classroom, it will never be like it was yesterday, because of the experience that teacher had within the Challenger Learning Center. It'll make teachers think about how they teach. Winnie Wooley Director, Howard B. Owens Science Center Thank you for helping us understand space. You made us believe that if you want to do something, you can. 5th grade student Seabrook, Maryland The network is one of the most exciting parts of the whole thing. If we're talking about kids learning problem solving skills, communication skills and teamwork skills,...it only makes sense that we interact with other sites in the same way. That we collectively try to solve problems, become a team. Each [Challenger Learning] Center, no doubt, is always going to be different. A respect, and acceptance of those differences... and a willingness to share ideas so that you can adapt or reject whatever other people are doing is very, very healthy. Dr. James Rowley Department of Teacher Education, University of Dayton 6 Challenger Learning Center Components cesre Mission Control Space Station Modeled after NASA's Mission Control at The Space Station is a space laboratory which might be Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, the a shuttle for one mission and an orbiter for the next. It Challenger Learning Center Mission Control is consists of modules housing the equipment needed to a nerve center of activity during the mission. conduct experiments in space, including computers, robots, video cameras and monitors. Student teams work at stations, communicating with their partners in Space Stationthrough computers, written messages, verbal links and headsets. Students in Mission Control observe the activities of the Space Station over monitors and use a Mission Status Monitor to chart the progress of the mission. Students in Space Station work with their teammates in Mission Control to proceed through a set of task cards, or assignments, during the mission. Each team has a specific set of responsibilities and exercises to complete at each stage of the mission. Students relay their results back to Mission Control, where it is ana- lyzed through a Research station. Team Information Each of the eight teams in Mission Control and corresponding teams in Space Station has a crucial role in the success of the mission. The students must work together as individual team members and as a group to ensure completion. Each of the teams requires students to sharpen their skills in many areas, including reading, calculations, communicating, following direc- tions, and hand -eye coordination. COM The Communication team serves as the verbal link between Mission Control and Space Station. ISO The Isolation team uses robots to move hazardous materials and check radioactive levels. MED The Medical team will monitor the health of the crew aboard the Space Station. I Mil. The Probe team will construct and deploy the probe into a designated target. DATA The Data team serves as the written or computer link between Space Station and Mission Control. LS The Life Support team is responsible for the healthy environment of the Space Station. NAV The Navigation team will locate the best path and trajectory to launch the probe. REM The Remote team is responsible for monitoring and analyzing plants in the greenhouse. 7 M,v-ma C f H' Challenger Learning Center Scenarios Each Challenger Learning Center mission is framed around a "scenario." Whether the students rendezvous with a celestial body or prepare for life on other planets, they have a set of tasks to complete which are specific to the mission. Challenger Center currently has three scenarios and one scenario in development: Return to the Moon simulates a lunar landing mission, where students will retrace the steps of the Apollo 11 astronauts and prepare for colonization on the moon. Rendezvous with Comet Halley, which takes place in the year 2061, takes students on a learning adventure to rendezvous with Comet Halley the next time it comes near the Earth. Students will launch a probe into the tail of the comet and analyze its makeup. M.A. R.SSo - Mission Assignment: Relief and Supply is designed to prepare students for life on the red planet. In this mission, students will travel from a space life station orbiting Mars to a colony already established on the planet. Their counterparts will be returning from the Martian colony to the orbiter. "Mission Earth" is a new Challenger Learning Center mission under current development. Funded through a matching grant from the National Science Foundation, this mission takes place in the year 2018. Students will learn that environmental data has indicated that Earth systems are showing signs of rapid change, and they will investigate how they might work to make these changes positively affect the future of our planet. Science Content Although space science is the teaching tool Challenger Center has selected, each Challenger Learning Center mission and all educational programs are multidisciplinary and are created in conjunction with the National Standards, as they are developed. Each mission uses many different types of science, exposing students to a broad world of science that they find interest- ing and fun. Some examples are: Physical science Matter Reactions and Interactions Force and Motion Earth Science Astronomy Geology and Natural Resources Oceanography Energy (sound, heat, light Meteorology electricity and magnetism) The eight teams in Mission Control and Space Station use these types of sciences throughout their flight. Teachers will also use these disciplines during the classroom portion of the simulation. Life Science Living Things Ecosystems Cells, Genetics and Evolution 12 (FSTFF Challenger Center Supplemental Educational Programs To expose students to the key learning concepts of the Challenger Way, Challenger Center has created supplemental educational programs. Participating in these programs along with the Classroom Simulation is the ideal experience, however, the programs are available in areas where currently there are no Challenger Learning Centers. Touching the Future: Linking the Classroom with Space Challenger Center has created the Touching the Future workshop to meet the needs of class- room teachers. The one day training is designed to provide elementary and middle school teachers with tools and strategies for teaching science in innovative and exciting ways. The workshop demonstrates dramatic and effective hands-on learning approaches and provide teachers with classroom activities and curriculum materials that enhance science and math lessons. Mars City Alpha This classroom project transforms middle school students into the scientists of tomorrow. The task is to develop an international human settlement on Mars. A multidisciplinary project, this activity uses science, social studies and fine arts. Over approximately two months, students work in teams to research, develop, design and build a table -top prototype of a Martian habi- tat. Marsville - The Cosmic Village Created as Challenger Center's project for International Space Year, students participating in Marsville will pioneer the space frontier by designing the first settlement on Mars. Working with teams from other classes and schools, students will use the planet Mars as an analog to study the fragility of the Earth's environment and will design life support systems needed to sustain life in the Martian colony. The project culminates in a Link -Up Day, where all the students meet and work with the rest of their team members to construct their life-size Martian colony. (For more information about any Challenger Center Educational Programs, please contact your Regional representative.) International Faculty Key to the development and instruction of Challenger Center Educational Programs are members of the International Faculty. The faculty is made up of master teachers across the United States and other countries, including many of the state and agency finalists for the NASA Teacher in Space project. The International Faculty members instruct the teacher work- shops and often coordinate Marsville activities. These teachers also help to design and revise the supplemental educational materials. Their expertise allows them to provide teachers with innovative teaching strategies and helpful information. 9 Challenger Learning Center Development Phases Phase 1 Preliminary Preparation Challenger Center site visit(s) by Regional representative Site develops education plan Site assigns Project Manager Technical Site Preparation Challenger Center technical site visit • meet with Project Manager and architect • review sketch layout of floor plan • discuss site renovations • site receives "Site Design Study" • review specifications Educational Programs Preparation Challenger Center education site visit • meet with school superintendent and members of the education committee • educational standards review • discuss Challenger Center programs and target audience • review additional educational programs as option Development Plan Development plan created with Regional representative • Site plans fundraising and public relations strategy • Site recruits community support, including business and political leaders • "Champion" for campaign Application Process Final readiness review Site submits application with $1,000 non-refund- able application fee Phase 2 Application Process Challenger Center Board Approval Pre -Contract Planning Site pays $50,000 fee for deposit and to reserve target time frame for installation Site signs "Letter of Agreement" Timeline finalized for installation and payment schedule Challenger Center prepares final blueprint Site approves final blueprint and returns signed - off copy to Challenger Center Contract 40% of price due at contract signing (minus $50,000 already paid) Phase 3 Site Preparation Simulator construction and production Site appoints engineer Site obtains contract bids for renovation Site signs renovation contract Site demolition lg ( F \ T F R Site construction completed, including HVAC, walls, electrical, flooring, ceiling, etc. Educational Development Site hires Flight Directors Flight Director training at Challenger Research, Devel- opment and Training Center Implement mission marketing plan to teachers Simulator Inspection Challenger Center inspection of simulator at fabricator Independent Flight Director inspection of simulator at fabricator Site representative inspection of simulator at fabricator Shipment of simulator to site after payment Contract 30% payment due at approval of simulator Phase 4 Installation Carpentry Electrical Contract 20% payment due at completion of installation Review Software/Hardware review Challenger Center staff conducts additional week of Flight Director training at site Test missions and debugging Opening Plan Review media/PR support plan Develop timeline for tasks and responsibilities Contact Challenger Center family members and VIP's Regional Director reviews draft of invitation Grand Opening event planned Grand Opening press release issued Site Sign -off Walkthrough of site Final 10% payment Sue Phase 5 Grand Opening Public Missions Ongoing Challenger Center support 10 Technical Guidelines Challenger Learning Centers are designed to be installed as part of a larger institution, be it school, museum or other entity. Renovated or newly constructed spaces house the Challenger Learning Centers, and Challenger Center works with sites to create a site -specific design to fit into the designated area. mace Requirements Mission Control - A minimum of 650 unobstructed square feet, also preferably in a square configuration, is necessary to accommodate Mission Control. Space Station - A minimum of 1,300 unobstructed square feet, preferably in a square configuration, is required for Space Station, the labyrinth passageway to Space Station, and the technical access at the rear of the modules. The 2,000 square feet allotted for Mission Control and Space Station will be examined during a feasibility visit, and the site will need to provide as-builts of the designated space for review. Other areas Challenger Center recommends: • Orientation area - This can be used solely for Challenger Learning Center orientation, which should accommodate 40 students, or can be a multi -purpose area which might already exist within the building. • Observation area for Mission Control - Since the Challenger Learning Center is such a visual experience, it is beneficial to have a viewing area where your guests can watch students "fly" in Mission Control. • Office space - for the Flight Directors should be near or adjacent to the Challenger Learning Center and should accommodate two people. • Reception area - In many cases, a reception area and office space for the Challenger Learning Center will be incorporated into the current institution's building space and organizational structure. If these areas do not exist, the site should give consideration to including them in the plans. • Soundproofing or a soundproof area should be between Mission Control and Space Station. Sites should also consider the proximity of: • Restroom facilities • Parking for buses/visitors • Disabled access (All components of the Challenger Learning Center are in accordance with Americans with Disabilities Act guidelines.) • Emergency exits (For a copy of technical guidelines and a technical installation manual, contact your Regional representative at Challenger Center.) 11 Financial Information Challenger Learning Center imp'"°, T ce a A complete Challenger Learning Center simulator includes Mission Control and Space Station modules, video equipment and displays, computer hardware and software, robotics and other equipment. It also includes shipping and installation of the simulator. The basic cost for a Challenger Learning Center includes training of two Flight Directors, support of a Regional representative during the application and development process and ongoing support from Challenger Center regional and technical staff once the site is operational.

How many students experience the Challenger Learning Center annually? A. Challenger Center estimates that each Challenger Learning Center site hosts approxi- mately 10,000 students per year. Some sites that offer public programs have 12,000 to 15,000 visitors annually, making the total number of visitors to Challenger Learning Centers over a quarter of a million each year! Q. How long is the Challenger Learning Center development process? A. Because of the depth of planning involved in the development of a Challenger Learning Center, including educational, financial, operational and technical site plans, Challenger Center approximates the timeline at one -and -a -half to two years. Q. What is the role of the Regional representative? A. The Regional representative works with sites at all levels of the Challenger Learning Center process. Their responsibilities include working with interested parties to provide information regarding the establishment of a Challenger Learning Center; assisting the site with evaluating tangible resources, including educational opportunities, community support and fundraising; sharing strategies other sites have used; and working with sites through the application process. Regional representatives also work with sites once they are operational to plan a grand opening and to maintain the relationship between Challenger Learning Center host institutions and Challenger Center. 13 cukw CENTER® Challenger Center 1055 North Fairfax St., Suite 100 for Space ScienceAlexandria, Virginia 22314 (703)683-9740 Education Fax: (703) 683-7546 Summary Information about joining The Challenger Learning Center Network The Challenger Learning Center network: Challenger Learning Center sites form an international network of high-technology spaceflight simulators for exciting hands-on experiences. Located in science museums, schools, and other educational institutions across the United States and Canada, Learning Centers conduct on -site missions, provide teacher in-service training, and supply pre- and post -visit curriculum kits for classroom use. All programs are designed using the "Challenger Way" instructional model that emphasizes educational content, cooperative learning, problem -solving and responsible decision -making. The Challenger Learning Center experience: Pre -visit Activities: Teachers participate in a one -day inservice training at where they receive pre -visit curriculum materials for use in the classroom before their scheduled visit. These materials introduce teachers and students to the mission they will be experiencing at the Learning Center. The Mission : When students arrive at a Learning Center, a short briefing takes place after which the class is divided into two groups of approximately eighteen students each. One group is assigned to Mission Control, and the other to the Space Station. The groups are then subdivided into the following eight teams: Medical, Life Support, Isolation, Remote, Probe, Navigation, Communications and Data. Halfway through the mission, the two groups switch places so each student can experience Mission Control and Space Station. Post -visit Activities : These activities utilize all the data gathered by each team and put the information into a meaningful context and application. Establishing a Challenger Learning Center: The Learning Center process is unique to each institution, although the basic phases remain somewhat the same. A brief description of the process is provided below. Phase 1: In coordination with a Challenger Center Regional Director, create development plan, educational plan and technical plan (site visits by Challenger Center Educational Programs and Technical staff); submit application. Phase 2: Application approval by Challenger Center Board of Directors; Learning Center deposit; finalize floor plans; final price quote; contract signing. Phase 3: Renovation of site for installation; hiring and training of flight directors. Phase 4: Installation of simulator; create plans for Learning Center opening. Phase 5: Grand opening and ongoing Challenger Center support. Application process: Applications by institutions seeking to establish a Challenger Learning Center must be approved by Challenger Center's Board of Directors. The following general criteria are normally used: • A demonstrated commitment to science education and a willingness to share in Challenger Center's long-term goals. • A commitment to the education of minorities and inner city school children. • The ability to coordinate Learning Center visits with local school districts and provide ongoing teacher training for the Learning Center site. • The necessary infrastructure and resources to handle large numbers of children. • A proven track record for providing a high -quality educational experience to school children and members of the general public on a daily basis. • A comprehensive plan for identifying funding for the capital and operational expenses for the Learning Center. • A willingness to work closely with Challenger Center and maintain the "Standards of Excellence" within the Learning Center. • Institutions must resolve all issues of potential competition in their local area for a Learning Center. Site requirements: The minimum amount of space required to accommodate the Mission Control and Space Station of a Challenger Learning Center is 2,000 unobstructed square feet. Other areas Challenger Center recommends are an orientation room, observation area for Mission Control, office space, and reception area. Detailed floor plans are prepared individually for each site after a technical site visit is conducted. Each Learning Center is designed to accommodate the unique needs and available resources at each site, as well as to address local building and access standards. Costs: Challenger Learning Center costs: The cost for a basic Learning Center configuration is approximately $700,000 for a 1995 installation. A complete Learning Center simulator includes Space Station and Mission Control modules, video displays, computer hardware and software, robotics and other equipment; and the shipping, installation, and test run of the simulator. It also includes training of two Flight Directors; support of a Regional Director during the application and development process; and ongoing support from Challenger Center once the site is operational. Renovation costs: Typically, a site will have to undertake a renovation of an existing facility to accommodate the Learning Center. A site is responsible for: perimeter walls; electrical and HVAC requirements; local building, emergency and access codes; and flooring and ceiling requirements. Renovation costs are site -specific. An approximate cost for renovation can be determined after the site completes a technical site visit. Challenger Center estimates $75-$125 per square foot to be an average renovation estimate. Operational Costs: A site is also responsible for operational costs of the Learning Center. Challenger Center estimates that the operational expenses for most sites are $130,000-$160,000 annually. Items included in the annual operational costs for the Learning Center are: • staffing (two full-time Flight Directors, a part-time scheduler, technical staff as needed) • annual Challenger Center Licensing Fee • general office supplies and marketing materials • equipment replacement as neededand planned computer upgrades Challenger CENTER® Challenger Center 1055 North Fairfax St., Suite 100 for Space Science Alexandria.

Thomas (TRA #193) Paratech Parachutes Fairbanks, Alaska All photos by the author unless otherwise noted. This is the story of an adventure that begins and ends in the Last Front- ier of Alaska, and deals with the Final Frontier of space. The adventure began in April of 1993, when Neal Brown contacted the author to help him with the first ever Alaska Space Academy. He gladly vol- unteered to donate his time, expertise with rocketry, and a high power rocket to get the Space Academy going. Neal Brown is an assistant professor of physics at the Geophysical Institute at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, who works on special projects like the Space Academy. He was a previous manager of the Poker Flat Research Range, where sounding rockets are launched. While employed at Poker Flat, Neal gave tours to kids, and this is something he said he has always enjoyed doing. His interest and back- Figure 1.01: Geophysical Institute at University of Alaska. ground became the ideal catalyst for promoting a Space Academv in Al- aska. The basic philosophy of the Alaska Space Academy is to provide a ve- hicle for stimulating kids to become interested in math and science; to perhaps pursue a career in math, sci- ence, engineering and aerospace re- lated fields. The academy wasn't for the smartest or brightest students. The only criteria was for students who had a lot of motivation and interest in space and science. Ads were placed in local and state newspapers, with forms for requesting application materials. Information was sent to school districts throughout the state. The Space Academy was furth- er promoted on television and radio stations. The forms started coming in, and materials were mailed out to ap- plicants. The response was over- whelming! There were many more applications received than there was space available. The Space Academy staff definitely had their work cut out for them in screening the applications and making final selections. What you are about to read is the story of the first ever Alaska Space Academy. The article is focused on the rocketry related activities of the Space Academy. Director Neal Brown developed and organized this week long camp to get kids excited about science. According to Brown: "Kids in middle school are starting to drop out of math and science because they don't see the relevance of it. What we want to do is have the kids do something that requires math and is meaningful to them, so thev can see there's real application to math and science. Space is a turn -on." The mission of the Alaska Space Academy is to spark interest, and get kids hooked on math Figure 1.00: The author's rocket launched from Pad Number Five (left) at Poker Flat Research Range on July 24, 1993.

Neal and a team of volunteers spent several weeks developing a cur- riculum, lesson plans and a schedule to reach the math and science subjects of the Alaska Space Academe. This was all new territory for the staff and in- structors, as nothing like this had ever been done before. Everything was a do as you go affair. The proposed cur- riculum and lesson plans would reach campers about science, by using their natural curiosity and the universal appeal of space. The author developed curriculum for building model and high power rockets, along with the basic funda- mental principles governing rocket aerodynamics and launch preparation. Participants came from all over the state of Alaska, as well as from Canada and Russia. The ethnic and geograph- ical diversity of Alaska was well repre- sentcd. Participants from outside the slate's borders truly made this an international affair. This was to be an exciting oppor- tunity for the averaee student to participate in a ver- unique learning experience. It would give kids the chance to be intellectually challenged. while making math and science some- thing that can be fun. Funding and sponsorship for the Alaska Space Academe came from the Alaska Space Grant Program, the Geophysical Institute, the College of Natural Sciences at the Universiry of Alaska Fairbanks. and various spon- sors. For a list of sponsors, see the photograph in Figure 1.03 on the next page. Office supplies were provided locally by Fred )\lever. and Federal Express provided mailing tubes for the model rockets. One hundred fourteen kids in grades six to eight paid $230 dollars each to attend the week long Alaska Space Academy. It was to be a week of adventure, explorilrga new world. A week of fun in the sun, camping out, meeting new friends, exploring new worlds, learning about science, building rockets, launching rockets, and touring a sounding rocket launch facilin-. is what the first ever Alaska Space Academv was all about. Over 100 kids in grades 6 to 8 came from all over the state of Alaska, Canada, and Russia to Lost Lake, Alaska. Lost Lake is located 60 miles Southwest of Fairbanks, Alaska, on the Richardson Highway. Refer to the aeronautical map in Figure 2.03. Lost Lake is a Boy Scout camp where par- ticipants camped for a week in tents. Participants were divided into ten Mission Teams with about ten mem- bers in each team, and assistant team leaders. Team leaders included grad- uate students, undergraduate stu- dents and adults. Two team leaders were from the student rocket program at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. See Figures 1.04 and 2.16 for names and pictures. Assistant team leaders were recently graduated high school seniors. The theme of the Alaska Space Academy was "Exploring a New World," which included mapping the lake bottom, exploring the lake with a remote piloted submersible camera, catching and examining fish aliens, topography, mapping and grid coord- inates. finding object heights using trigonometry, determining the speed of sound in air, using computers, bot- tle rockets, model rockets, and high power rockets. Everyone donatcd their time as volunteers, except for Neal Brown (Director) and John Reedman (Coord- inator and bottle rocket instructor). ii F: T: H+ E Figure 1.02: Permanent static display of Nike -Tomahawk sounding rocket at UAF museum. to AS Figure 1.03: Alaska Space Academy operations center and dining hall at Lost Lake, Alaska Boy Scouts camp.

Figure 1.05: State of Alaska relief map showing geographical locations of Space Academy participants. Participants came from as far north as Point Hope, on the West coast of Alaska above the Brooks Range, to as far south as King Cove on the tip of the Alaska Peninsula. Participants also came from White Horse, Canada in the Yukon, and Krasnojarsk, Russia, making the Space Academy an international affair. Note: Krasnojarsk isn't accurately portrayed, as it is farther west, off the map. Krasnojarsk is in the center of Russia at the lower quarter of its latitude.

Team leader Singh watches as students experiment with water/ air pressure ratios for maximum altitude. A very "wet" experience. HU Figure 1.07: Russian space pin from the School of Cosmonology in Krasnojarsk, presented to the author. It reads in Russian as: shko-la-cos-mo-nawf-tee-kee. Each instructor taught four 1.5 hour classes each day. The teams were combined in groups of two and three teams for the classes. Teaching four classes each day for a week is not an easy thing to do, as the instructors can attest. Each day the entire camp met for breakfast at the dining hall, out- lined the days activities, and headed off for classes. There were plenty of breaks during and between classes. ,,ith ample free time in the evenings. Participants came from as far away as Krasnojarsk, Russia, White Horse, Canada in the Yukon Territory, Point Lay, Alaska on the Northwest coast, and King Cove, Alaska on the tip of the Alaska Peninsula. It was a week of fun in the sun, meeting new friends, doing new and different things, and most of all - hat,•rng fun. There was more going on in a week than can be covered in this article. With so much to cover, the article is focused on rocketry related activities of the Space Academe. The author was the lead rocketry instructor, and taught all of the model and high power classes. It was a week of fun with much to see and do. This is the story of that experience. Illustrated photos tell the story of this experience. r3 Figure 1.08: Russian teacher Nicholai Mossin and Russian interpreter Natalia Kondratjeva. helping Russian students Evgenia Rochtevkina and Ekaterina Tcheranovskaia build an Estes Alpha III model rocket. LAUNCHING BOTTLE ROCKETS Introduction to rocketry began on the first day of the Alaska Space Academe with "bottle rockets." John Reedman was the instructor for these classes. He provided a simple over- iew of rocket propulsion based on the bottle rocket. The basic principle of rocket propulsion is Newton's third iaw: for every action. there is an equal and opposite reaction. The water and air pressure in the bottle push out the "nozzle" (mouth), producing thrust. The opposite reaction force of exiting water pressure ( thrust ), pushes the bottle rocket sky%yard. Bottle rockets are plastic pop bot- tles filled with water and air, pressur- ized using a foot pump. A safety pin holds the bottle to the launcher. Pulling the safery pin shoots, or launches, the pop bottie off the pad like a rocket. Participants experimented with varying air pressure and water ratios to achieve maximum altitude. Two liter, one liter, and mini bottles were used. The two liter bottles seemed to Figure 1.09: Academy participants assembling a North Coast Rocketry high power rocket kit of a semi -scale Patriot Missile, to be launched from Poker Flat.

Everybody literally got their "feet wet." as this proved to be a soaking experience. The pressurized water exhaust would are over the group and rain down a drenchine shower. Bottle rockets are fast and hard to photo- graph. Some went as high as 150 feet. BUILDING ROCKETS Even with rocket science you have to begin with the basics. We under- stand the basics of rocket science by building and launching rockets. We learn by doing, and this was to be a hands-on experience for constructing and finishing rockets. The model rocket construction classes covered the second and third day class periods. Teaching 20 rocketry classes in five days proved to be a very hectic experience. Nearly everyone had built model rockets before. However, some had never built a model rocket, and for them it was not quite so easy. Take the Russian teachers and students for example. They had never done this before, and it proved to be quite a challenge. There were also several girls who had never done this before. and they had difficulty gluing the fins on with Elmers glue. The author helped those having difficulties. He also helped Russian student Yarosiay Vassiliev build his Alpha III rocket. inspire of the language barrier. Even - one managed to finish building their Alphas, and spent evening free time painting and decorating their special rocket. Fifth and sixth day class periods were spent building high power rockets. Each Mission Team of ap- proximately ten students built a North Coast Rocketry Patriot Missile. No one had ever built high power rockets before, so this was all new territory. Everyone received instruction in the use of five minute epoxy, with a quick overview of kit instructions. These kits required a lot more sanding, glu- ing and work than model rockets. They were big rockets. Each group worked as a team to bring their project to completion. As with the model rockets, evening tree time was used to paint and decorate the rockets. Each group took immense pride in their rocket. Paint schemes were very creative tsee Figure 2.18). One group signed their names on their rocket. Everyone was really excited about launching their "big" rocket at Poker Flat Research Range. LAUNCHING MODEL ROCKETS After two days (class periods) of building, everyone was ready to launch their Estes Alpha III rocket. I The -fourth day for rocketry was devot- ed to launching model rockets. It was the most fun day of the week at Lost Lake. Ron Dukes, Estes distributor for Alaska, assisted the author with model rocketry classes and rocket launches. He is shown in the photograph in Fig- ure 1.11. His help was greatly appre- ciated. .-1 basic overview of rocket aero- dynamics was given, along with prep- ping and launching. Everyone was anx- ious to launch, making attention spans in the classroom very short. Moving outside to the launch area, everyone had the opportunity to launch the rocket they had built in the classroom. The class chanted the countdown as each person pressed the launch button. It was a big "thrill" to watch your rocket streak off the launch rod on a column of white smoke. Up, up and away, a short coast, ejection, and parachute deployment. Everyone took pride in the construction, launch, and successful recovers- of their rocket. Flights were made on 1/2A6-2 and A8-3 engines, because of limited space. Flights achieved 100 to 150 feet, de- pending on the rocket finishing tech- niques. Each flight was tracked for altitude, and parachute descent timed for descent rate. A graph allowed each participant to plot the altitude of their rocket and record descent time and rate of recovery. A demonstration of rocket drag was proyidcd by launching five different rockets. Refer to photo of Figure 1.10. From left to right, rockets had un- sanded fins, sanded fins, four sanded fins, crooked sanded tins, and a smoothly finished and painted rocket. Everyone was challenged to guess which rocket would go the highest. Rocket altitudes were plotted on a (yraph. These exercises gave even•one a practical hands-on appreciation for rocket aerodynamics and drag. There were other opportunities to launch model rockets during the even- ing_ free time. Everyone had the chance to launch their model rocket as many times as they wanted. Launching mod- el rockets was something both kids and adults just couldn't get enough of. But most of all, it :vas just fun. Now, apply that education! LETT T@MW _ Send Check or MO to: Back Issues!

Introduction Poker Flat Research Range is the worlds only non-federal (civilian) scientific sub -orbital soundinc, rocket launch facii1ty owned and operated b� a uniyersit%. Also, its the only rocket launch facilir.- in the United States located in a polar region. It began in 1946. when scientists became interested in using sounding rockers to study the aurora, and Con- gress concurrently established the Geophysical Institute. It would have the unique distinction of being locat- ed near a permanent university staff, just to the south of the "zone" where most auroras occur. Geophysical Institutes Neil Davis created a rocket research facility in the early 1960's, becoming its first director. A 25 year lease on 5.000 acres of land secured from the state of Alaska, later became known as Poker Flat Research Range. Title to most of this land was transferred to the Uni- versity of Alaska Fairbanks. It has been operated since 1968 by Univer- sity of Alaska's Geophysical Institute. The first rocker was launched from here in 'March 1969. That same year, Apollo I I had landed Neal Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the Moon. 1994 is the 25th anniversary of this now historic Moon ianding and the first Poker Flat launch. The range operated on a "shoestring' budget, until thirteen sounding rockets launched in 1970, proved the range workable and scien- tifically useful. With this success, con- struction began and a facility was staffed. Instruments were installed, completing basic facilities in 1972. Polker Flat Research Ran_e has since been funded by NASA contracts in joint cooperation with the Geo- physical Institute since 1979. NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, in co- operation with Poker Flat, is part of Wallops Flight Facility, the operations center for its scientific sounding rocket program. Early rockets were Loki Darts and Arcas meteorological rockets doing atmospheric soundings for the United States Army Meteorological Rocket Network. Later rockets were Nike- 1S Apaches and Tomahawks. Rockets currentiy used are Black Brant and Orion class rockets. About ten soundin, rockets are launched each year from Poker, sup- porting plasma physics research asso- ciated «ith auroral, middle, and upper atmospheric research. ;More than 1,500 meteorological rockets, and over 50 maior high altitude sounding rockets. have been launched as of 1994. Poker Flat is manned year round by university employees, ho maintain the complex, provide launch support. and obtain necessary waives and ap- provals to launch from the Federal Aviation Administration. The 5.132 acre site is the world's iargest land -based rocket range, with downrange flight observing facilities. for monitoring and recovery purposes. Permission to impact rockets and payloads on 26 miliion acres of land i� authorized through the Bureau of Land Management. U.S. Fish and Wildlife, State of Alaska division of Lands, Doyon, Ltd., and the Venetic and Arctic Villages. Poker Flat has five major launch pads on the lower complex. The maxi- mum launch vehicle capability is 2,000 pounds, Nvith a maximum pay- load capability of 6.000 pounds. Pads One and Two are 7.3K launchers. Pads Three and Four are 20K \IRL launch- ers. Pad Five is a 4K twin boom launcher. Range facilities include an opera- tions and office building,. a 40 by 3U foot launch control blockhouse com- pies, a 50 by 50 foot payioad assembly building, and a 260 foot meteoroiogical tower. Computers calculate wind,' \eight data. Other buildings include rocket assembly and storage. Range telemem• support is provid- ed by two S-band auto track systems, «ith an 8 and 16 foot dish, provided b, NASA (on loan), and located in a 30 foot dome at the upper complex hilltop. PFRR has a C-band NASA radar for vehicle trackin_, radar fo- local air traffic, and a meteorological balloon inflation building. The appeal of flying sounding rock- et payloads at Poker Flat is the cheap- er cost, compared to a space shuttle mission. Launching rocket payloads experiments) is referred to by NASA Lis a "high -risk," low-cost affair. PFRR i _:_i_1y1: Figure 2.01: Main office building at Poker Flat. is now being modernized. Congress appropriated $20 miliion dollars f 7 range improvements. The Niel Davis Science Operarions Center %vas dedi- cated in 1993, in honor of Poker Flat Research Range's first Director. The new center is scheduled to be completed by early 1995. in conjunct- ion with a major NASA mission. Dur- ing the auroral Snapshot Explorer mission, PFRR will receive polar orbiting data from a satellite launched outside of Alaska, and also participate in the long-range launch of a sound- ing rocket in conjunction with the mission. The new Data Anaiysis Center Mill analyze data from PFRR. A scat- ter radar. inyesrigatm_g eiectron den- sity irregularities of the aurora, will be I uilt.

Poker Flat Facilities Poker Flat is comprised of an up- per, middle and lower complex. The upper complex contains telemetry, tracking and optical facilities. The middle complex comprises rocket stor- age and balloon inflation building, for %vind weighting. The lower complex houses rocket launchers, the block house, meteorological tower, vehicle and payload assembiN ignitor storage, warehouse, tool crib, communications, C-band radar, communications tower, and the main office. Compare the Poker Flat Facility diagram in Figure 2.05. to enlarged complex photo of Figure 2.07. Range facilities and building locations are evident. Note locations of Chatanika Lodge. Details of lower complex fac- ilities are also evident. Figures 2.09, 2.10 and 2.11 show inside of payload assembly and rocket motor storage buildings. The Black Brant XII launch vehicle is typical of sounding rockets launched from Poker Flat. Photos detail payload and motor for Black Brant sounding rocket during the Topaz III campaign from Cornell university. During sounding rocket launches, NASA personnel provide relemetryy. radar and optical tracking, as well as flight data acquisition. The Goddard Space Flight Center, (which houses the NASA/Wallops Flight Facility), mans and supports these facilities at Poker Flat Research Range. All of this is done on top of the hill, at the west end of the upper range complex. The geodesic dome housing telemetry is seen in the photo (Figure 2.12). along with the radar tracking dish. Figure 2.13 shows the vantage point of the geodesic dome deck. This is an excellent vantage point for cap- turing sounding rocket launch photos. The valley floor of Poker Flat can be seen.

Technically known as "Advanced \lodel Rocketry,' as they span the gap between model and high power rock- ets. None of the participants had ever launched anvthing bigger than an Estes model rocket. The proof is in the pudding as the saying goes, and this ,vas the "moment of truth" for all. Were the fins on straight, would the rocket fly straight, and «ouid the para- chute work, For all, this was a totally new experience. The rockets were prepped and loaded, with AeroTech F and G White Lightning motors with Copperhead ignitors, by Neal Brown and Range Launch Officer, Ray Martinez. Countdown commenced over the loudspeaker, and the first rocket roar- ed off the launch rack A slow lift off, coast to altitude, gentle arc, short free fall and parachute deployment. Every- one cheered as their groups rocket was successfully launched to altitudes of 900 to 1500 feet and recovered. Television and news media were out to cover the launches. Jack Cog- hill, the Lieutenant Governor of Al- aska was there to congratulate each participant, and present an official Space Academy certificate. It wasn't so important how the rockets looked or flew, but the opportunity for kids to have fun. A very unique opportunity for children of the Last Frontier of Alaska to experience the Final Frontier of space. Launching From Pad Number Five The Highlight of the Space Acad- emy was launching high power rockets from the launch rail at pad number five. This would simulate how real sounding rockets are launched from Poker Flat by NASA, government agencies, various universities, and the military. Two high power rockets would be launched from pad number five. These launches would mark the first successful non-professional high power rockets launched from Poker Flat. 24 R 9 The first high power rocket launch- ed at Poker Flat was the first student rocket from the University of Alaska Fairbanks, but it wasn't successful. William Maness of Impulse Aero- space in Bothell, Washington donated a LOC/Bruiser rocket, an Industrial Solid Propulsion K-1100 reloadable rocket motor, and their "Veri-Fire" launch controller for our use. Motor parts and thrust curves are detailed to the right (Figure 2.23). Fully loaded, the rocket weighed 15.5 pounds. Average thrust to weight ratio was a respectable 13.5:1. How- ever, the 7.6 inch diameter airframe has a very high drag configuration. Ex- pected apogee was only 2.000 to 3,000 feet. The booster and payload had sep- arate LOC 'chutes, with flat elastic for bridal lines. The author noted that the rocket had been previously flown with apparent "ding" and "dent" damage to the airframe booster and coupler. The coupler was short, with excessive play. No attempt was made to correct defi- ciencies and the rocket flew as provi- ded by Impulse Aerospace. The author loaded and prepped K- 1100 motor and parachutes. Neal Brown placed the motor in the rocket and positioned it on the launch rail. The 9.4 foot rocket was raised to the vertical position, giving scale to the launch pad. With the belly band re- moved, the rocket was ready for launch and countdown commenced. Launch Officer Ray Martinez launched the Bruiser. The motor came to life with a brightly visible purple flame, and the rocket quickly accel- erated. Everything looked good, but then, the pavload separated from booster, as the motor continued thrust- ing. The 'chutes stripped and the rocket tumbled Earthbound. The flight was a very short one second. Though not successful, it was an impressive launch. Failure was attribu- ted to a loose fitting booster payload coupler. The rocket weather cocked slightly into the wind as it left the rail tower. A disruptive jar of weather cocking, coupler "play," and resulting payload movement, caused this premature rocket separation at high velocity. • 7 Figure 2.23: Industrial Solid Propulsion (ISP) K-1100 reloadable motor hardware.

(Cost of rocket, motor, and recovery system was $600.) Fiberglass fins were neces- sary to handle the high thrust K-1100 motor and prevent fatal "fin -flutter." Otherwise, this was a standard card- board rocket. Normally, cardboard rockets aren't strong enough to han- dle high thrusting motors. Aero- dynamic loading at "max-Q" would cause the rocket to shred in flight. The rocket contained a Super 8mm movie camera payload. Recov- ery system was an eight foot, flat - circular Paratech parachute, using a bag deployed system and a flashing neon strobe light. The EZI weighed about nine pounds. The payload and recovery system accounted for 1.5 pounds, and the motor weighed just over three pounds. Empty rocket weight was about 4.5 pounds. Details of the reloadable rocket Figure 2.31: LOC EZI-65 rocket on the launcher. Note ignitor clips and rocket belly band. motor hardware parts and motor thrust curve are depicted in Figures 2?3 and 2.24. Compare K-1100 motor to K-550 thrust curve. K-1100T motor uses a "Blue Thunder" propellant formula- tion, producing a very bright purple flame, with little visible exhaust. The K-550W motor is a "White Lightning" propellant, with a dense white smoke. Note the K-550 has half the thrust for twice the duration of the K-1100 motor. The technology of reloadable rocket motors was introduced to high power rocketry in 1990 by Industrial Solid Propulsion of Las Vegas, Neva- da, and has proven to be very reliable.

All the curric- ulum planning, class lesson plans and hard work reall paid off. Logistically, it was quite a feat to pull off. All the instructors, team leaders and assistant team leaders did a great job. It was an opportunity by all to be intellectually challenged. while mak- ing math and science something that can be fun. It sparked renewed inter- est in those areas and zaye kids an opportunity to do something person- ally meaningful with math, and see its real world application to science. Hopefully, some of these kids will get hooked on math and science, going on to study these subjects in high school and even college. There was a lot to see, do and experience. Meeting new people with very diverse ethnic and geographical backgrounds was an added bonus. \lost participants thought building and launching rockets was the most fun part of the entire week, and the author has to agree. Neal Brown asked around a campfire at the end of the week if even -one had fun? The chanting roar of a hundred campers let him know it had been a success. This is only the beginning of an adventure in the Last Frontier of Alaska, that deals with the Final Frontier of space. An even bigger second Alaska Space Academy took place during the Summer of 1994. For information on the Alaska Space Academy. contact Director Neal B. Brown at: Geophysical Insti- tute, 413C ELN'.

A Magnalite ignitor was in- serted to the full length of the pro- pellant grain, and secured with a plastic cap -lug. The motor casing was wrapped with masking tape and frict- ion fitted into the motor mount tube. Photograph of Figure 2.25 illustrates this operation. The parachute had been previously packed, and the recovery system rig- ged. A bridal line connecting the para- chute to the rocket's "U-bolt" was checked and secured with a rapid link. (NOTE: Author does not use bungee cord or elastic for rocket recovery.) The author placed the rocket on the launch rod, and slid the rocket to the stop on the rail adaptor. The weight of rocket caused the launch rod to droop. A rope was employed as a "belly -band" and wrapped around rocket, securing it to launcher. A belly- band is used to take the rocket weight off the launch rod and lugs while the rocket is in a horizontal position. Battery launch clips were attached to the Nlagnaiire ignitor leads. This produces a very hot flash to ensure motor ignition. These are more reli- able than Copperhead ignitors sup- plied with ISP motor reload kits. Note Figures 2.27 and 2.28 for this detail. Also, note ignitor and battery clip wire in Figure 2.28. With everything ready, the rocket launcher was raised vertically for launch. A Poker Flat technician on a "cherry -picker" removed the securing bellv band from the rocket, making final inspection of ignitor and battery clips. Launch was a "go" and everyone cleared the launch area. Launch off- icer Ray Alartinez would launch the rocket using Impulse Aerospace "Veri-Fire" launch controller. The author prepared to capture the launch with a Canon EOS-Elan 35mm cam- era, using a 28mm lens, a very diffi- cult picture to compose and capture. There would be only one chance to capture this very unique and irre- placeable historic launch photo oppor- tunity. The rocket was now readv to launch, and a ten -second count down commenced over the loudspeaker. Dead silence prevailed, as all eyes and ears were intently focused on the launch pad. At zero countdown, the K-1100 Blue Thunder motor roared to life. Acoustical reverberation echoed off the launch pad and storage building. Motor thrust sounded like a high speed jet flying overhead, just above the deck. The bright purple exhaust plume streaked four feet from the rocket's base. An impressive display for the senses of sight and sound! The author barely caught one photo of the rocket as it cleared the launch tower. Acceleration was impressive! As it cleared the launch tower, it weather cocked about five degrees from the north heading of launch into the wind. The EZI went "straight as an arrow," without any detectable roll. Seen for one second, the rocket disappeared into the "wild blue yonder." A "text -book" launch! It just doesn't get any better than this. It was excellent. No parachute was seen. It's assum- ed the rocket deployed the parachute out of view. Being a very windy day by late afternoon, the EZI probably drift- ed for several miles. No attempt was made to recover the rocket and it has never been found. Computer simulation run by Ed Tindell, using Roger's Aeroscience, predicted an apogee of nearly 5,000 feet, with a maximum velocity of 718 .%lph (Alach 0.94). The first non-professional high power rocket successfully launched from Poker Flat. Figures 2.34 and 2.35 show graphical and numerical flight performance. Documented photograp- hically, this classic textbook launch is both unique and historic. It was truly an awesome sight to see and experience.

Figure 2.22: Unsuccessful launch of Impulse Aerospace rocket on ISP K-1100 motor. 25 T'he first high power rocket launch- ed at Poker Flat was the first student rocket from the University of Alaska Fairbanks, but it wasn't successful. William i\laness of Impulse Aero- space in Bothell, Washington donated a LOC/Bruiser rocket, an Industrial Solid Propulsion K-1100 reloadable rocket motor, and their "Veri-Fire" launch controller for our use. Motor parts and thrust curves are detailed to the right (Figure 2.23). Fully loaded, the rocket weighed 15.5 pounds. Average thrust to weight ratio was a respectable 13.5:1. How- ever, the 7.6 inch diameter airframe has a very high drag configuration. Ex- pected apogee was only 2.000 to 3,000 feet. The booster and payload had sep- arate LOC 'chutes, with flat elastic for bridal lines. The author noted that the rocket had been previously flown with apparent "ding" and "dent° damage to the airframe booster and coupler. The coupler was short, with excessive play. No attempt was made to correct defi- ciencies and the rocket flew as pro% i- ded by Impulse Aerospace. The author loaded and prepped K- 1100 motor and parachutes. Neal Brown placed the motor in the rocket and positioned it on the launch rail. The 9.4 foot rocket was raised to the vertical position, giving scale to the launch pad. With the belly band re- moved, the rocket was ready for launch and countdown commenced. Launch Officer Ray Martinez launched the Bruiser. The motor came to life with a brightly visible purple flame, and the rocket quickly accel- erated. Everything looked good, but then, the pavload separated from booster, as the motor continued thrust- ing. The 'chutes stripped and the rocket tumbled Earthbound. The flight was a very short one second. Though not successful, it was an impressive launch. Failure was attribu- ted to a loose fitting booster payload coupler. The rocket weather cocked slightly into the wind as it left the rail tower. A disruptive jar of weather cocking, coupler "play," and resulting payload movement, caused this premature rocket separation at high velocity.

Participants await launching of the high power rockets their groups constructed. Launching High Power Rockets It was a warm summer day at Poker Flat on Jul.- 24, 1993, where many people would experience high Power rocketry for the first time. An open house tour provided a very un- ique opportunity to see and experi- ence first hand, a "real" sounding rocket launch facility-. The open house included tours of the payload building, block house, launch pads and support buildings on the lower complex. It was a chance for all to ask and have questions answered about the range, NASA, sounding rockets, payloads, and just about anything else related to rockers. Saving the best for last, it .vas time to launch high power rockets from a real rocket range, and experience the most exciting part of the entire week of the first ever Alaska Space Acade- my! Each mission team would launch the rocket their group had worked so hard to build and paint. A 'ream" effort required members to work as a group in order to bring the project to completion. A small feat perhaps, but an accomplishment to take pride in. These rockets use commercially manufactured composite E, F, and G disposable motors, in contrast to the black -powder model rocket eneines. Figure 2.16: Mission Team Six leader Tovan Adams at the Poker Flat sign on the main office building. He proudly displays the semi -scale Patriot Missile high power rocket that the members of his team worked so hard to construct.

Technically known as "Advanced Model Rocketry," as they span the gap between model and high power rock- ets. None of the participants had ever launched anything bigger than an Estes model rocket. The proof is in the pudding as the saying goes, and this was the "moment of truth" for all. Were the fins on straight, would the rocket fly straight, and «ouid the para- chute work? For all, this was a totally new experience. The rockets were prepped and loaded, with AeroTech F and G White Lightning motors with Copperhead ignitors, by Neal Brown and Range Launch Officer, Ray Martinez. Countdown commenced over the loudspeaker, and the first rocket roar- ed off the launch rack A slow lift off, coast to altitude, gentle arc, short free fall and parachute deployment. Every- one cheered as their groups rocket was successfully launched to altitudes of 900 to 1500 feet and recovered. Television and news media were out to cover the launches. Jack Cog- hill, the Lieutenant Governor of Al- aska was there to congratulate each participant, and present an official Space Academy certificate. It wasn't so important how the rockets looked or flew, but the opportunity for kids to have fun. A very unique opportunity for children of the Last Frontier of Alaska to experience the Final Frontier of space. Launching From Pad Number Five The Highlight of the Space Acad- emy was launching high power rockets from the launch rail at pad number five. This would simulate how real sounding rockets are launched from Poker Flat by NASA, government agencies, various universities, and the military. Two high power rockets would be launched from pad number five. These launches would mark the first successful non-professional high power rockets launched from Poker Flat. 24 R T T � 1 p AY�OAC W II II V � ~ O NINKA I .0 fi SLACKS RANT VC I I \ �r W - S78, TAUNUS Y W 762M TACOS A. �I Figure 2.08: Black Brant XII four - stage rocket launched from Poker Flat February 1991.

Temperatures were around 40' below zero when these photos were taken. Figure 2.14 shows the heart of the telemetry building, where flight data acquisition takes place in real time. Consoles provide electronic payload feedback, as well as hard copy print out of flight data. For payloads with movie cameras there is a television monitor here to view the flight from a rockets vantage point. A joy -stick controller enables operators to steer the camera lens, us- ually to keep cameras pointed towards aurora during 15 to 20 minutes of sub- orbital sounding rocket flights. During a sounding rocket launch, this is where all the scientists and en- gineers associated with the project will be found.

A science payload can take up to ten years, until it's flown on a sound- ing rocket. Academic careers are liter- ally "risked" on the outcome of a sin- gle flight. Many universities launch rockets from Poker Flat for a principal scientist to do auroral research (plas- ma physics), while providing a vehicle for graduate students to earn a Afas- ter's or Doctoral degree. After years of preparation, the flight will last only 15 to 20 minutes. Downrange observatories are at Ft. Yukon, Kotzebue, Kaktovik and Spitzbergen on the Arctic Ocean. Sub -orbital sounding rockets lunched from Poker land impact up to 400 miles, and ocean impact up to 2800 miles away. Payloads with recovery systems (parachutes) are located and retrieved by helicopter.

Poker Flat Facilities Poker Flat is comprised of an up- per, middle and lower complex. The upper complex contains telemetry, tracking and optical facilities. The middle complex comprises rocket stor- age and balloon inflation building, for wind weighting. The lower complex houses rocket launchers, the block house, meteorological tower, vehicle and payload assembly, ignitor storage, warehouse, tool crib, communications. C-band radar, communications tower, and the main office. Compare the Poker Flat Facility diagram in Figure 2.05. to enlarged complex photo of Figure 2.07. Range facilities and building locations are evident. Note locations of Charanika Lodge. Details of lower complex fac- ilities are also evident. Figures 2.09, 2.10 and 2.11 show inside of payload assembly and rocker motor storage buildings. The Black Brant XII launch vehicle is typical of sounding rockets launched from Poker Flat. Photos detail payload and motor for Black Brant sounding rocket during the Topaz III campaign from Cornell University. During sounding rocket launches, NASA personnel provide telemetry. radar and optical tracking, as well as flight data acquisition. The Goddard Space Flight Center, (which houses the NASA/Wallops Flight Facility), mans and supports these facilities at Poker Flat Research Range. All of this is done on top of the hill, at the west end of the upper range complex. The geodesic dome housing telemetry is seen in the photo (Figure 2.12). along with the radar tracking dish. Figure 2.13 shows the vantage point of the geodesic dome deck. This is an excellent vantage point for cap- turing sounding rocket launch photos. The valley floor of Poker Flat can be seen. Launches are during winter months, when auroral activity is the most intense.

DETERMINATION OF THE AMOUNT OF LOCAL EXPENDITURES. (a) For purposes of AS 29.60.013(b) the amount of local expenditures on municipal basic services is the amount of actual expenditures made for all services and the maintenance and operation of all facilities included in the particular municipal basic services category during the municipal fiscal year immediately preceding the year in which the municipality's share of the money allocated to that category is being computed (b) Except for money received by a municipality under AS 41.15.180, a local contribution for schools made by a municipality under AS 14.17.025 shall be treated as a local expenditure for municipal basic services for purposes of AS 29.60.013(b). The I amount of the local contribution spent by the municipality for schools during the municipal fiscal year immediately preceding the year the municipality's share of the money allocated to. each municipal basic services category is being computed shall be divided up and added on a proportional basis to other amounts spent by the municipality for services within each category. This subsection does not apply to money received by a municipality under AS 41.15.180. (c) If water, sewer, or waste management services are provided by a private business in a municipality and the municipality makes no expenditures for the services, for purposes of AS 29.60.013(b) the municipality shall receive credit for a local ; expenditure for that service. The amount of the credit is equal to the municipality's population multiplied by a figure determined by the department to be the per capita average cost of providing the service by other municipalities with similar populations and other relevant characteristics.

Manninen, City Manager -7,7A4-� Date: January 31, 1995 RE: Report on the Kenai Peninsula Borough Economic Development District's Annual Meeting, January 26, 1995 EDD ANNUAL MEETING• Mayor Don Gilman, Kenai Peninsula Borough, was the guest luncheon speaker at the annual meeting. Mayor Gilman brought the Kenai Peninsula Borough Economic Development District (KPD EDD) Board up-to-date on his views of the various projects and opportunities from tourism to oil. Stan Steadman's EDD report is attached, along with reports/action items from the January 26, 1995 EDD meeting, including Industrial Development Committee, Business Development Committee, and Promotion Tourism Development Committee. KENAI FOUNDATION 501(C)(3) STATUS: NAME CHANGE TO KENAI PENINSULA OPPORTUNITIES (KPO) The Kenai Foundation, Inc.'s annual meeting included a 501(c)(3) designation and a name change. The Kenai Foundation, Inc. was named a 501(c)(3) status organization in 1994. This will give the Kenai Foundation, Inc. a tax exempt status. A copy of the IRS's determination is included in this packet, along with the exemption from federal income tax under Section 501(A) of the Internal Revenue Code as an organization described in 501(c)(3). This is key in the critical determining factor in the potential of issuing future tax exempt bonds for financing projects. Finally, regarding Kenai Foundation, Inc., there was suggestion for a name change, i.e., the word "foundation" in the title might be misunderstood by people. The suggestion was made to change the Kenai Foundation, Inc.'s name to Kenai Peninsula Opportunities. EDA GRANT APPLICATION FOR EDD BUSINESS INCUBATOR: OLD CARR'S BUILDING Probably one of the most significant resolutions is the Resolution 95-03, authorizing the EDD's Chairman to submit an application and enter into agreements for a grant from the U.S. Economic Development Administration for the creation of a business incubator. (See attached Resolution 95-03.) IT IS THE INTENTION OF THE KENAI PENINSULA BOROUGH EDD INC. TO APPLY FOR $1 MILLION TO PURCHASE A BUILDING, EQUIPMENT AND OTHER OPERATING NEEDS FROM THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATION, THROUGH ITS AVAILABLE PUBLIC WORKS FONDS, TO ESTABLISH A BUSINESS INCUBATOR. ANY KPB EDD DISTRICT MATCHING FUNDS WILL COME THROUGH GRANTS, LOANS AND/OR MUNICIPAL INVOLVEMENT. (THERE IS A "WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY" UNTIL NOVEMBER 30, 1995 OF APPROXIMATELY $1 MILLION AVAILABLE IN ALASKA FROM FUNDS THAT WERE COMMITTED, BUT FINAL APPLICATION PAPERS WERE NOT FILED. THIS IS THE FUNDING THAT THE KPD EDD IS LOOKING TO HAVE TRANSFERRED TO THE KENAI BUSINESS INCUBATOR THROUGH THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT. Finally, the Kenai Business Incubator is proposed to be located in the "Old Carr's Mall." The Mayor/City Council's direction to keep EDD in Kenai has been followed successfully. This business incubator concept would solidify it. Attachments: (1) Stan Steadman's annual report (2) January 26, 1995 EDD Committee report/action items on Industrial Development Committee, Business Development Committee, and Promotion Tourism Development Committee (3) Copy of the IRS's determination of exemption from federal income tax under Section 501(c) of the Internal Revenue Code (4) Resolution 95-03 P.S. There is also an EDD Board member Training Retreat, March 3 & 4, that I plan to attend along with an ARDOR meeting in Juneau, February 15, 16 & 17, 1995. Cost for attending the ARDOR will be borne by the EDD/ARDOR, not by the City of Kenai. I volunteered and was selected to attend the ARDOR conference representing the KPB EDD Board. Unless there is objection from the City Council, I plan to attend the ARDOR meeting on February 15, 16 & 17 in Juneau. This is part of my role as an EDD Board member and representing the City of Kenai on the Kenai Peninsula Borough Economic Development District, Inc. Board. P.P.S. There is also an incubator subcommittee, chaired by Tim Navarre, the City's Borough Assembly person. I plan to be on that subcommittee and attend its first meeting on February 13, at City Hall. The EDD should be lining up the room for the meeting. Also, as a Board member, I plan to attend at 10:00 a.m., January 31, at the EDD offices, a Board member training for the retreat to be held by Board members on March 3 & 4, 1995. C:\WPDOCS\TJM\13195.MEM ANNUAL REPORT TO THE EDD BOARD OF DIRECTORS Prepared by Stan Steadman, Executive Director January, 1995 This past year has been one of a great deal of activity for the EDD. During this time, I have appreciated the opportunity to work with a very professional staff and to enjoy the support of a great Boardl As I contemplate our accomplishments and future opportunities, there are several thoughts which 1 think are timely to convey. I will try, however, to be brief and direct. In 1994, the EDD enjoyed a number of accomplishments. These include: -Men h�/ Ci�nmditttlas/Heslth �' p i Established Healthy Communities program to foo at improvements to quality of life in borough communities. Major forums with nationally recognized experts were held in the spring and fall and a major community health research project was undertaken; Initiative Committees in Homer, Seward, Kenai/Soldotna involving up to 200 people are actively analyzing issues and developing strategies. < onratton�a� i enertifls#tic tCb Received federal �es6 and awarded funds to establish an RC&D to build local capacity in resource and community development • 3_1sstan7 •,� "01ichan9e-'With the assistance from U.S. Information Agency, at `month long visit of officials from the City of Okha, Sakhalin Region, Russia and two visits of local industry and government officials to the Sakhalin Region; visits were to open opportunities for Kenai Peninsula industry to provide training, technical assistance, manpower and materials to roposed major offshore oil and gas development. •''dWc6ng Hosted 5 students and a teacher from Akita, Japan, as a response to the visit of local students to Akita in 1993. • Business AwbUnce-!Continued to sponsor an aggressive business assistance program involving ttaig and consultations. •; tevolvteary ftnd (RtFIC Awarded federal funds to match local funds and estabhshe $�2>�0;06 to assist higher risk small businesses access financing, with first 3 loans being made during year; Loan Review Committee established and became operational. • 13USiness" 1"~16rt C'eMei (Incutiaio Developed a draft business plan and ide wgrw e% rrs Mall as the potential site to house the Innovation Center. •"5��•.r�ia 15hingt- With grant assistance from the U.S. Forest Service and Alaska Department of Commerce and Economic Development, established the Alaska Forest Products Standards Bureau to certify spruce shakes and shingles, thereby qualifying the local product for outside markets; also, received grant to study the market feasibility of this product. • '�. rijcano tri#ep>r?"C)fOrganized committees and are eligible receive $51,120 in grants to undertake concept development and feasibility studies. «er""SWdyf Initiated a comprehensive energy study with $10,000 in match grants from tie Alaska Energy Division by undertaking as the first project element, a study of natural gas resources and the feasibility of extending natural gas services to areas on the Peninsula not now served; project to be completed in February, 1995. (Page 1 of 2) • Pacific Sandfish- Completed field research to determine commercial potential of Pacific Sandfish; written report is in progress with the anticipated report that while new scientific information was determined, commercial quantities were not discovered. • New, Projectay Initiated projects in affordable housing and ice rink development. • Torgerson Elected to NADO- Board member John Torgerson was elected in the spring, 1994, to fill a vacancy on the Board of Directors, National Association of Development Organizations Board of Directors, and then he was reelected to a full term in the fall. •,;Mldrex Project-Aosted representatives of Midrex Corporation in their inspection of the Kenai Peninsula Borough to look at the potential of building a direct reduction plant for iron ore shipped from. South America; the decision is still pending. • CQT LGl)Qrateja.# he Kenai Peninsula Tourism Marketing Council incorporated and therefore is no longer responsible to the EDD; EDD maintains a seat on the KPTMC. As the Board and Staff contemplate the future, the following challenges should be considered: • Maximizing Staff and Board Capabilities- EDD as kept lean and mean by initiating projects which can be assumed by working committees with contract staff (Healthy Communities) or can become self-sufficient over time (KPTMC). However, some projects lend themselves to in-house development and continued maintenance because of the critical role they play in our overall program (business assistance) and because of their revenue generating potential (RLF). Each of the examples require major commitments of staff time, reducing flexibility to take on new projects. Staff is now looking at creative strategies to free up time for new projects while maintaining program strength. - Maintaining Momentum- With the number of projects on the plate, it is important for the Board to provide leadership, facilitate communications, and encourage participation. For reasons discussed above, staff has had limited time for public relations activities and cannot lead citizen involvement in each of the EDD's projects. - Value -Added Emphasis- State agencies have supported funding for value-added projects, but it is hard to make headway with the major industries because of legal barriers and a commitment to historic methods of operation. Perhaps Knowles will have some ideas on how to cut through the barriers. • SBDC Subcenter- Related to the above circumstance, EDD expects to be negotiating in the near future with the Small Business Development Center/UAA on a contract to provide business assistance services in our region. The total contract value over 3 years = $200,000. This program will commit Bill's time (which does include work on the incubator), but should free up funds for other activities. • New State and Federal Approach- We can expect an overall decline in state and federal resources. However, there is a new interest in shifting what resources there are down to the regional level for administration. This is also a trend among private corporations. The EDD stands in a good position to respond to such opportunities. • Local Financial Support- The EDD has been able to maintain the fine balance between local, state, and federal funding sources. Since state and federal grants require local matching funds, it is important to maintain the local funding base. There are likely going to be challenges before the Assembly this spring from "taxpayer" groups wanting funding to the EDD to be deleted from the budget. work„on (Page 2 of 2) KENAI PENINSULA BOROUGH ECONOMIC, DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT, INC. January 26, 1995 Meeting Agenda Narrative Committee Reports and Action Items Board Members: Please review this report prior to the Board meeting. Contact the staff if you have questions. Agenda items with an asterisk (*) require Board action. *a) Borough budget request for FY96: The Executive Committee has recommended that the EDD request a status quo contract from the Borough of $250,054. This amount will be forwarded to the Mayor's Office for budget planning purposes. A full report and budget will be prepared by staff for presentation at the next EDD meeting. b) RC&D project: The RC&D board is being organized and project workplan developed. c) Sister government relations: On -going discussions with our counterparts in Akita have been concerning sponsorship of a small EDD led delegation of business persons going to Akita in the fall to hold discussions toward arranging for a trade show to be held in Akita of Kenai Peninsula products and on the Kenai Peninsula of Akita products. The trade show exchange would also initiate tourist exchange activity. d) DCED matching grants: Up to $25,000 is available to match local funds for feasibility studies and $3,000 is available to sponsor small business training and conferences. From the first fund source, I expect to match local funds to study the economic impacts of a system of ice rinks. If you have any ideas or local needs for feasibility funds, let the staff know. e) Housing Coalition proposal: The EDD has facilitated the establishment of a coalition interested in development of special needs housing (assisted, low income, transition, shelter). The Coalition is expected to move toward formation of a non-profit organization in accordance with federal guidelines. f) KPTMC's request for funding research: EDD's request for the Borough Administration to assist in the exploration of KPTMC's future funding options was presented to Mayor Gilman and he agreed to work with the EDD and KPTMC to explore this matter. g) Arbitration with Charles Nash: Arbitration proceedings over a dispute arising from the Timber Utilization Project ;contract will be February 24 in Anchorage. h) eo>�r r,!,,�"Inllnwretreat,(March 3 Apre-retreat, session will be held Jan3""wD staff and a few available'boardlnembers to th retreat leader, Dickerson of the 'Cooperawe Extension Service, the he , P%chor Point/Fishy Peat project (Res. 95-1 'velopment Action Grant for the f� �� ;� �. .� �: A DCRA Rural Development .P at business in Anchor ppl , o accommodate market and product expansion has been provisionally submitted.

Because you are a newly created organization, we are not now making a final determination of your foundation status under section 509(a) of the Code. However, we have determined that you can reasonably be expected to be a publicly supported organization described in the section(s) shown above. Accordingly, you will be treated as a publicly supported organization, and not as a private foundation, during an advance ruling period. This advance ruling period begins and ends on the dates shown above. Within 90 days after the end of your advance ruling period, you must submit to your key District Director information needed to determine whether you have met the requirements of the applicable support test during the advance ruling period. If you establish that you have been a publicly supported organization, you will be classified as a section 509(a)(1) or 509(a)(2) organization as long as you continue to meet the requirements of the applicable support test. If you do not meet the public support requirements during the advance ruling period, you will be classified as a private foundation for future periods. Also, if you are classified as a private foundation, you will be treated as a private foundation from the date of your inception for purposes of sections 507(d) and 4940. - 2 - Kenai Foundation Incorporated Donors may deduct contributions to you as provided in section 170 of the Code. Bequests, legacies, devises, transfers, or gifts to you or for your use are deductible for federal estate and gift tax purposes if they meet the applicable provisions of sections 2055, 2106, and 2522. Donors (including private foundations) may rely on the advance ruling that you are not a private foundation until 90 days after your advance ruling period ends. If you submit the required information within the 90 days, donors may continue to rely on the advance ruling until we make a final determination of your foundation status. However, if notice that you will no longer be treated as the type of organization shown above is published in the Internal Revenue Bulletin, donors may not rely on this advance ruling after the date of such publication. Also, donors (other than private foundations) may not rely on the classification shown above if they were in part responsible for, or were aware of, the act that resulted in your loss of that classification, or if they acquired knowledge that the Internal Revenue Service had given notice that you would be removed from that classification. Private foundations may rely on the classification as long as you were not directly or indirectly controlled by them or by disqualified persons with respect to them. However, private foundations may not rely on the classification shown above if they acquired knowledge that the Internal Revenue Service had given notice that you would be removed from that classification. If your sources of support, or your purposes, character, or method of operation change, please let your key district know so that office can consider the effect of the change on your exempt status and foundation status. In the case of an amended document or bylaws, please send a copy of the amended document or bylaws to your key district. Also, you should inform your key District Director of all changes in your name or address. As of January 1, 1984, you are liable for taxes under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (social security taxes) on remuneration of $100 or more you pay to each of your employees during a calendar year. You are not liable for the tax imposed under the Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA). Organizations that are not private foundations are not subject to the excise taxes under Chapter 42 of the Code. However, you are not automatically exempt from other federal excise taxes. If you have any questions about excise, employment, or other federal taxes, please contact your key District Director. - 3 - Kenai Foundation Incorporated If your organization conducts fund-raising events such as benefit dinners, auctions, membership drives, etc., where something of value is received in return for contributions, you can help your donors avoid difficulties with their income tax returns by assisting them in determining the proper tax treatment of their contributions. To do this you should, in advance of the event, determine the fair market value of the benefit received and state it in your fund-raising materials such as solicitations, tickets, and receipts in such a way that your donors can determine how much is deductible and how much is not. To assist you in this, the Service has issued Publication 1391, Deductibility of Payments Made to Organizations Conducting Fund -Raising Events. You may obtain copies of Publication 1391 from your key district office. In the heading of this letter we have indicated whether you must file Form 990, Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax. If Yes is indicated, you are required to file Form 990 only if your gross receipts each year are normally more than $25,000. If your gross receipts each year are not normally more than $25,000, we ask that you establish that you are not required to file Form 990 by completing Part I of that Form for your first year. Thereafter, you will not be required to file a return until your gross receipts exceed the $25,000 minimum. For guidance in determining if your gross receipts are "normally" not more than the $25,000 limit, see the instructions for the Form 990. If a return is required, it must be filed by the 15th day of the fifth month after the end of your annual accounting period. A penalty of $10 a day is charged when a return is filed late, unless there is reasonable cause for the delay. The maximum penalty charged cannot exceed $5,000 or 5 percent of your gross receipts for the year, whichever is less. This penalty may also be charged if a return is not complete, so please be sure your return is complete before you file it. You are required to make your annual return available for public inspection for three years after the return is due. You are also required to make available a copy of your exemption application, and supporting documents, and this exemption letter. Failure to make these documents available for public inspection may subject you to a penalty of $10 per day for each day there is a failure to comply (up to a maximum of $5,000 in the case of an annual return). See Internal Revenue Service Notice 88-120, 1988-2 C.B. 454, for additional information. You are not required to file federal income tax returns unless you are subject to the tax on unrelated business income under section 511 of the Code. If you are subject to this tax, - 4 - Kenai Foundation Incorporated you must file an income tax return on Form 990-T, Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return. In this letter we are not determining whether any of your present or proposed activities are unrelated trade or business as defined in section 513 of the Code. You need an employer identification number even if you have no employees. Please use that number on all returns you file and in all correspondence with the Internal Revenue Service. In this letter, we have not determined the effect on your tax exempt status of financing your activities with the proceeds of tax exempt bonds since you have not indicated that you intend to use such methods now or in the future. We are informing your key District Director of this ruling. Because this .letter could help resolve any questions about your exempt status and foundation status, you should keep it in your permanent records. If you have any questions about this ruling, please contact the person whose name and telephone number are shown in the heading of this letter. For other matters, including questions concerning reporting requirements, please contact your key District Director. n. Sincerely, I j Ger ld V.

Since this was an organizational meeting and no real action was taken, these minutes are very informal. Please review them for accuracy and completeness and let me know if there is anything you wish to add or correct. Corrected minutes will be forwarded to all participants with the agenda for the next meeting. I would also like to volunteer my services to prepare agendas, attend your meetings, take minutes and keep all records.

Administrative Assistant to Mayor Gilman Rich Underkofler, Soldotna City Manager Gave Vaughan, Kenai Peninsula Borough Clerk Linda Murphy. Seward City Clerk COMMUNITY REPORTS Seward. Mayor Crane thanked the participants for attending and stated that he had organized this meeting in an attempt to bring the borough's elected municipal officials together in an informal setting to discuss areas of mutual concern and to develop a better understanding of the issues before the various communities on the Peninsula. He described how a similar meeting between elected officials in Seward and Whittier had strengthened ties between the two communities and had lessened the adversarial feelings that had previously existed. Crane briefly reviewed the successes Seward has enjoyed over the past year or so, including funding for the Alaska SeaLife Center, the Shellfish Hatchery, and improvements to Exit Glacier Road. He noted that the local hospital's financial problems remained a concern and that the City was currently exploring several options to address this situation including collocation with Wesley Rehabilita- tion and Care Center. Kenai Peninsula Borough. Mayor Gilman reported that the funding agreement for the Borough's 911 Service would expire soon and, unless extended, could mean the end of this service to Borough communities. He also noted that SB 20 (Municipal Assistance and Revenue Sharing Formula), if passed as introduced, would result in much lower revenues to the Borough and the cities of Kenai and Soldotna, but would increase state revenues to Homer and Seward. Underkofler objected to the standards set within the bill for assessing services provided locally and stated that the weight each service received should be determined by the local community. Mary Jackson noted that Senator Torgerson had agreed to participate in the meeting via teleconference beginning at 2:00 p.m., and she suggested that discussion and questions regarding the bill be deferred until that time. Homer. Mayor Gregoire reported that Homer was continuing to seek funding for the Fish and Wildlife Bird Center, and he thanked Seward for its letter of support for locating the facility in Homer. He stated that the major obstacle confronting the City at this time was the necessary local commitment to provide operating and maintenance funding for the life of the facility. He added that he remained hopeful that the City would acquire the facility. Gregoire stated that the community was very proud of its hospital facility which had recently received an addition and several pieces of new equipment.

He stated that the major obstacle confronting the City at this time was the necessary local commitment to provide operating and maintenance funding for the life of the facility. He added that he remained hopeful that the City would acquire the facility. Gregoire stated that the community was very proud of its hospital facility which had recently received an addition and several pieces of new equipment. DRAFT Kenai Peninsula Municipal Coalition Soldotna, Alaska Meeting Minutes January 19, 1995 R FT Page J Soldotna. Mayor Lancaster noted that the City of Soldotna would be participating in Main Street Alaska this year and invited other borough communities to join in the festivities. He noted that the new Fred Meyer store had become a real asset to the community and had not, as anticipated, been detrimental to local businesses and had, instead, kept local shopping dollars in the community and lessened the amount of shopping area residents did in Anchorage and via catalog. Lancaster reported that the City intended to construct a new $2 Million police station. He added that addressing the needs of children and the homeless would be a major focus of the community in the next year. Seldovia. Mayor Volstad reported that Seldovia had recently hired a new city manager who had no previous municipal experience. He stated that, because of her extensive private sector background, she had come into the job without any preconceived notions of what a city is supposed to do and was making some very positive changes happen in the community. Volstad noted that one of the major issues confronting his community was the cost of transportation to and from Seldovia. He stated that, until this transportation issue could be resolved, it would be difficult to attract any new business to the area. He noted that the local fish processor had closed resulting in a significant loss of local jobs. He thanked Mayor Crane for calling this meeting and stated that he would like to participate in future meetings and would consider hosting a future meeting in Seldovia. Kenai. Councilmember Monfor apologized for not being present for the earlier part of the meeting and stated that there had been a communications problem in Kenai and Councilmem- bers had not been aware of the meeting until the night before. She stated that she would report to the City Council that this was a much needed forum and stated that Kenai would participate in future meetings. She reported that the City of Kenai had successfully levied a bed tax which had raised $75,000 last year. She stated that, contrary to predictions that such a tax would harm the visitor industry, Kenai had seen no ill effects and residents were pleased with the success of the program. She thanked Crane for calling the meeting. ISSUES Municipal Assistance and Revenue Sharing. Senator Torgerson, participating via teleconference, stated that his staff was continuing to work on revising the funding formula so that monies would be more equitably distributed to communities throughout the State recognizing local contributions to services in determining state funding levels. He stated that he would keep local officials informed as the bill (SB 20) was revised and as it progressed through the Legislature. DRAFT Kenai Peninsula :lfunicipal Coalition Soldotna, Alaska r 11eeting Minutes January 19, 1995 Page 4 Transportation. There was general consensus to support funding for a small ferry to provide service for South Cook Inlet (Seldovia. English Bay and Port Graham). Jackson stated that the Senator's office could coordinate town meetings with the relevant officials at DOT/PF to address this issue. ISTEA Funding. There was general consensus to lobby for a return to the original criteria for funding which recognized local control in selecting projects to be funded. FUTURE MEETING SCHEDULE Everyone present agreed that the meeting had been successful. Mayor Gregoire stated that Homer would host the next meeting at the end of March. He stated that the date, time and place would be announced later. Participants were encouraged to forward suggested agenda topics to Mayor Crane in Seward or Mayor Gregoire in Homer.

Thomas J. Manninen, City Manager (X FROM: Charles A. Brown, Finance Director_ r Q' DATE: January 20, 1995 SUBJECT: Twenty -unit Congregate Housing Addition Ct/1r11V Cary and I have discussed using revenue bonds to help ` finance a $2,360,000 addition to the Congregate Housing complex. We think that it is very doubtful that the use of revenue bonds, without voter approval, would be possible. Cary could give an opinion on this. The other concept the Mayor mentioned, that of creating a Housing Authority (or Corporation) is completely foreign to me. I don't know how they work or how such Authorities acquire the power to issue debt. But, what I want to show here is the simple economics of such a project. Consider this: Cash Flow In: $485 per month x 20 units $ 9,700 x 12 Annual Cash Flow In 116,400 Cash :Flow Out: Operating costs, excludes depreciation and any contribution to repair reserves <50,000> Net cash available for debt service $ 66,400 Then, calculate maximum debt that can be repaid with $66,400 per year at 6.7% over 20 years; answer = $72$ 0 ,000. Therefore, this $2,360,000 project would need at least $1,640,000 in grants or other subsidies to be feasible, because it will support only $720,000 of debt. Even this Memorandum Thomas J. Manninen January 20, 1995 Page Two scheme is marginal because it does not allow for any repair/replacement reserve contributions. r The fact is, even if we could devise a way to create a Housing Authority, the issuance of debt probably wouldn't be practical for two reasons. First, the cash flow would be insufficient to give an investor a level of security adequate to ensure repayment. Standard revenue bond covenants require excess cash flow (1.4 times is not unusual) and establishment of reserves. Second, I would not recommend entering the market with such a small debt issue, especially with a revenue bond. Issuance and other costs would be a deterrent, especially considering the City's current financial capacity to finance a relatively small amount ($720,000) with fund balance. cc: Cary Graves, City Attorney FINANCING CAPITOL PROJECTS WITH BONDS I.

Above is based on a twenty-year note at 6%. Rents are estimated based on same rents as at existing forty -unit complex. Debt service on the loan is the significant obstacle to positive cash flow. Cash flow available for debt service is $74,000 ($117,000 - $43,000). At 6% over twenty years, $74,000 would finance a $850,000 loan. Therefore, to obtain a break-even cash flow, total grants would have to equal about $1,650,000. s << MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Williams and City Council THROUGH: Tom Manninen, City Manager FROM: Keith Komelis, Public Works Dir tor� DATE: January 11, 1995 SUBJECT: Vintage Point Manor - 20 Additional Units FOR: Council meeting of January 18, 1995 I have received a construction cost estimate and a mechanical analysis for the construction of 20 additional apartments at Vintage Point Manor.

The boiler is a Weil Mclain LGB-18 with a gross output of 1,790.100 Btuh. The boiler provides heat to the building and thru heat exchangers, heats the domestic hot water. The pwpose of the site visit was to determine if the existing boiler is of adequatc capacity to liandle a 20 unit addition, to the building. The followuig is may summation of the loads for a 60 unit building. Heat loss, wall, roof, and floor 600,000 Btuli Infiltration & ventilation 1,082,000 Btuh Water Heaters 250,000 Btuh Total 1,932,000 Btuh This load exceeds the boiler capacity by 142.000 Btull. Tlie estimated heatuig and utfiltration load for the 20 unit additon is 483,000 Mull. Bill, you mentioned a future greenhouse addition to be built between the Congragate housing and the senior center, this heating load will also increase the total load on the boiler. The eym* Ling water heaters appear to be of adequate capacity to supply domestic hot water to tine 20 unit addition. I am reconunettdutg that a new boiler room be built for the 20 unit addition. This boiler room will have 2 gas fired boilers and 2 gas fired water heaters. The oniv corurections to die exining mechanical room will be for domestic cold water and natural gas. 11ie new moiler room will have an area of 14'x10'. The boilers will have a net I=B=R output of 257 M13H each. The amount of baseboard reytrir•ed for the 20 unit additon will be about 570 LP with an output of 85013twltr Lirr Ft.

Attn: Dean Eichholtz, Vice -President 403 North Willow, #1 Kenai, AK 99611 Re: Your January 19, 1995 Letter Dear Dean, In response to your January 19, 1_995 letter, I have always been, and will continue to be, accessible and responsive to airport lessee concerns. However, in this particular instance, I must correct an egregious misconception and misstatement in your letter. Clearly, it is not my view that Kenai Airport Fuel Service, Inc. (KAFS) is being "arbitrarily singled out to keep the roadway unobstructed or blocked with warning signs." In fact, I am concerned over the safety issue involved with the right-of-way that is being utilized by Kenai Airport Fuel Service, Inc.'s subcontractors, Everts Air Fuel, and possibly others. The safety issues and requirements are addressed in the executed lease between the City and Kenai Airport Fuel Service, Inc. In the past, it has been the response of Kenai Airport Fuel Service, Inc. that KAFS would enforce on these safety issues with diligence and enact your own discipline, and possibly even discharge employees for not complying with the lease provisions. I agree with your statement that during poor visibility conditions, someone driving the airport roadway may hit a snow berm, snow/ice removal equipment, forklift, or aircraft or machinery, placed in the "airport roadway." This is the reason for the lease -required signs and barricades as prior warning. This is mutually agreed between the City and Kenai Airport Fuel Service, Inc. Please enforce your responsibilities of the lease. The City's Airport Manager is Kenai's first line supervisor responsible for enforcement. It is the City Airport Manager's responsibility to enforce the lease on behalf of the City and as such, I am copying Randy Ernst's letter written prior to our meeting last week. I am further gratified to know that Kenai Airport Fuel Service, Inc. intends continued compliance with the signed lease. I appreciate your joint efforts, Mr. Pitts' and Kenai Airport Fuel Service, Inc.'s employees, recognizing the differences on the leased roadway between summer and winter conditions. I am also assuring you that Mr. Ernst, Kenai's Airport Manager, has the City's support and ultimate enforcement responsibility. On behalf of the City of Kenai, we intend to continue to work cooperatively in order to maintain the safe airport environment within the airport rules, guidelines and leases. Thank you for meeting with me. I remain, Sincerely, t Thomas J.

Willow Street, #1 Kenai, AK 99611 Dear Mr. Pitts and Mr. Eichholtz: This morning (8:40 a.m.) after completing the daily runway inspection, I noticed two engine preheating units sitting on the apron in front of Alaska Flying Network. These units were sitting out in the aircraft parking area of the ramp with no aircraft around them. They were very difficult to see in the darkness. I pulled into the aircraft fueling area to see if I could find someone to move them since they posed a potential safety hazard. As I pulled into the area, I saw Les Bradley walking toward my vehicle. He walked up to the window of my vehicle and asked if there was a problem. I asked if he had recently moved the C46 to the fuel pit. He said they just finished moving the aircraft about three minutes earlier, so I asked him if he could move the heating units as soon as possible because they weren't very visible and could get hit by an aircraft. I didn't hear him respond to my request. As I was talking to him I noticed someone carrying out one of the "Road Closed" signs and place it on the roadway south of the C46. I then mentioned to Les that another sign was required at the north side of the plane. A day earlier, I had my assistant, Keith Holland, remind the fuel service personnel that two signs were required during bulk fueling operations. Recently, both Keith and I had noticed they weren't putting any signs out during bulk fueling. Les simply said there was a snow berm at the north end of the fueling area and he couldn't do it, then walked away. I returned to my office. I took the airport parking receipts from my office to City Hall and returned a short time later. City Manager Manninen called me on the telephone shortly thereafter and informed me that a Mr. Vavra, with Everts, called him about problems with me at the airport. I don't know who Mr. Vavra is or why he had a complaint about me, since my only conversation this morning was with Mr. Bradley, but Mr. Manninen and I are scheduled to meet with him about 3:00 p.m. this afternoon. The problem still seems to be that your personnel and Evert's personnel don't understand the contractual obligation of your Special Use Permit. According to the contract between Kenai Airport Fuel Service and the City, two signs are required during bulk fueling of aircraft. One sign is to be placed at either end (north & south) of the vehicular access road. If a snow berm is across one end of the roadway, then it would be prudent to place the sign at the edge of the berm where vehicular traffic would be re-routed because of the berm . As for the request to move the engine heaters from the aircraft parking apron, it is a simple matter of safety and liability. My job is to oversee the safe operation of the Kenai Airport and I take that responsibility seriously. I regret that some users feel it is, somehow, a personal matter between them and the airport management or simply an imposition to ask them to comply with airport regulations. I expect all the users of this airport to cooperate with me in maintaining the highest level of safety. Your help in this matter is appreciated.

C:\YPDOCS\EVERTS.LTR MarkAir iQ 562-2570 M1/23/95 011:17 January 23, 1995 Dear Alaskan, Since our first letter went out, we have heard from many of you asking questions about MarkAir's financial situation and our much publicized negotiations with Denver. In 1991, MarkAir was thrust into a fare war we did not want. We had an arrangement with Alaska Airlines that allowed our much larger partner to control all the air fares. They wanted to keep our fares artificially high, and when we protested, they canceled our agreement. That left us with few choices. We could not survive without a network to bring Outside passengers to Alaska — and we could not compete with their pricing structure. We decided to open our own air routes and introduce competitive air fares to Alaska. Your response exceeded our expectations. By April of last year, we were making a solid operational profit on all our routes. But, we remained battered from the fare war with Alaska Airlines and our resulting bankruptcy. We needed to refinance our debt and generate some working capital. The City of Denver called us early last year. They wanted to give us the support we needed to put our company back on firm financial ground. We said, "Wait. We don't want to move to Denver." We approached the state and asked if Alaska were interested in a new financing package. The response was not only no, but, to quote the then -Commissioner of Commerce and Economic Development: "We're not interested in getting into a bidding war with Denver." In retrospect, we should have made that statement more public. A long, public negotiation with Denver ensued.We put all of our other potential financing prospects on hold. In November, when we were ready to finalize the agreement, the new Denver airport bond rating company intervened. They told Denver they would downgrade the city's airport bonds if funds were used to relocate any airline to Denver before the new airport was opened. The city immediately put our negotiations on hold. Within days of Denver's decision, we had calls from other cities around the nation, all wanting us to relocate to their community. The most aggressive calls came from Cincinnati, Kansas City, Colorado Springs and Allentown. We are about to finalize an agreement, subject to review and approval by the state legislature, with the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority (AIDEA) to guarantee a private sector loan to recapitalize MarkAir. Money to repay the loan will come from an employee stock ownership plan that will turn a significant portion of the company over to our employees. AIDEA has set stringent ground rules which we will follow, including an agreement to keep our corporate headquarters in Alaska. We at MarkAir are delighted with the new atmosphere in Juneau and the prospect of long-term fianancial viablilty. For the 1,300 MarkAir employees based in Alaska, we say thanks. Alaska will always be our home. Sincerely, Greg Jones, Vice President TONY KNC vvf .- DEPT. OF NATURAL RESOURCES DIVISION OF OIL AND GAS January 23, 1995 PO Box laM34 ANCHORAGE.

OF !KENAI CALL FOR COMMENTS PROPOSED OIL AND GAS LEASE SALES 67A-W2, 76W, AND 78W, COOK INLET The Alaska Department of Natural Resources (ADNR), Division_ of Oil and Gas (DO&G), requests public comment regarding its proposal to reoffer certain tracts which did not receive bids following Oil and Gas Lease Sales 67A-W, 76, and 78. Through this proposed reoffering, DO&G intends to provide another opportunity for interested companies and individuals to bid on select, unleased tracts remaining from Sale 67A-W and Sale 76 which were held in January 1993, and Sale 78 which was held in October 1994. Proposed Sales 67A-W2.76W, and 78W (see attached maps) are scheduled to be held in October 1995. The division is also requesting comments, relevant to the proposed sale areas, regarding any new socioeconomic and environmental information, from agencies, local governments, and the public that has become available since the issuance of the best interest findings for Sales 67A, 76, and 78. Written findings are not required before the approval of Sales 67A-W2, 76W, and 78W unless the commissioner determines that new information has become available that justifies a revision of the initial best interest findings. The commissioner will use information provided in the comments to make this determination. Under AS 38.05:180(c), an oil and gas lease sale must be included in the state's Five -Year Oil and Gas Leasing Program during the two calendar years preceding the year in which the sale is held unless it meets the criteria for an "exempt" acreage sale. Criteria for determining if land is eligible for leasing in an "exempt" sale are defined under AS 38.05.180(d) and (w). Under the provisions of AS 38.05.180(w), the Division of Oil and Gas is proposing to offer exempt acreage in Sales 67A-W2, 76W, and 78W. This statute permits the commissioner to immediately offer land for oil and gas leasing which has been offered for competitive lease within the last five years and which received no bids at the sale. Sales under this statute must be competitive and may offer the tracts under terms appearing most advantageous to the state. Royalty rates may not be less than 12-1/2 percent. Proposed Sales 67A-W2, 76W, and 78W consist of approximately 665,000 acres in 144 tracts. These tracts consist of uplands in the Susitna Valley and Kenai Peninsula, and tide and submerged lands located in the middle and upper Cook Inlet between Anchor Point and the Knik Arm. DO&G proposes to make the following tracts available for lease: SALE 67A-W2 (36 tracts from Sale 67A-W) 67A-W-027, 67A-W-031, 67A-W-032, 67A-W-047, 67A-W-050, 67A-W-064, 67A-W-068, 67A-W-069, 67A-W-070, 67A-W-084, 67A-W-085, 67A-W-086, 67A-W-087, 67A-W-088, 67A-W-089, 67A-W-091, 67A-W-092, 67A-W-093, 67A-W-094, 67A-W-096, 67A-W-097, 67A-W-102, 67A-W-103, 67A-W-104, 67A-W-106, 67A-W-112, 67A-W-125, 67A-W-126, 67A-W-127, 67A-W-128, 67A-W-130, 67A-W-133, 67A-W-137, 67A-W-138, 67A-W-139, 67A-W-140.

A revision of these best interest findings may be required if, in response to this call for comments, the commissioner determines that new information has been made available that justifies revising the initial findings. DO&G is specifically interested in new information regarding potential effects of sale -related activities which has become available since the final findings for Sale 67A, Sale 76, and Sale 78, including any information regarding: 1) fish and wildlife species and their habitats in the sale areas; 2) the current and projected uses in the areas, including uses and values of fish and wildlife; 3) the reasonably foreseeable cumulative effects of oil and gas exploration, development, production, and transportation on the sale areas including the effects on subsistence uses; fish and wildlife habitat, populations, and their uses; air, land, and water quality; and pre- historic, historic, archeological, and cultural resources; 4) the reasonably foreseeable fiscal effects of the lease sales and subsequent activities on the state and affected Municipalities and communities, including the explicit and implicit subsidies associated with the lease sales, if any; 5) the reasonably foreseeable effects of oil and gas exploration, development, production, and transportation on municipalities and communities within or adjacent to the lease sale areas. - 2 - 6) the reasonably foreseeable effects of oil and gas exploration, development, production, and transportation on coastal development, geophysical hazard areas, recreation, energy facilities, transportation and utilities, fish and seafood processing, timber harvest and processing, mining and mineral processing, and 7) the reasonably foreseeable effects of oil and gas exploration, development, production, and transportation on any current or new programs and projects planned in the sale areas. A decision by the director whether or not to proceed with these sales will be issued in July 1995. If revisions to any of the best interest findings are required, and a decision is made that the sales are in the bestinterests of the state, the revised final findings will also be available in July 1995. The final findings for Sales 67A, 76, and 78 describing the sale areas and their resources, discussing the sales' potential effects, and mitigation measures are available in ADNR's Public Information Office located in Suite 200 of the Frontier Building, 3601 "C" Street, Anchorage, Alaska, or by writing to DO&G, 3601 "C" Street, Suite 1380, Anchorage, Alaska, 99503-5948.

Loan funds can be combined with a wide variety of federal, state, and municipal grants in order to pay for needed projects. In addition to the typical water, sewer, and solid waste improvements, loans can be made for other essential community facilities. Loans can also be made for items such as: Fire and rescue building or equipment, road, sidewalk, and street lighting, clinics, libraries, community center, hydro -electric generator, city vehicles and similar capitol improvements. Loan repayment is based on the useful life of the project and are secured with city income or project revenues. Based on your 1990 Median Household Income, the current interest rate to the city would be 6.875 % .

You will have an another opportunity to review and comment on the revised plan be- fore it is adopted. Additional work- shops or meetings will be held this spring. The more specific your comments, the better the Planning Team can respond to them. For example, please tell us if you agree or disagree with a proposed priority by unit number, and why. If there are resources and uses that sup- port or are in conflict with the pro- posed priority, let us know what they are. By making your comments spe- cific, the Planning Team will be better able to understand your concerns and your proposal is more likely to get results. Yvonne Goldsmith Project Manager, Kenai Area Plan Department of Natural Resources Division of Land 3601 C Street, Suite 1080 Anchorage, AK 99503 Tel:762-2253 Fax:561-0221 WHAT IS THE KENAI AREA PLAN? The Kenai Area Plan describes how the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) will manage public -domain state-owned land within the Kenai Peninsula Borough. There are three volumes: Volume 1 describes man- agement priorities and guidelines for each parcel of state land; Volume 2 provides resource information: and Volume 3 describes fish and wildlife resources and uses. The current planning process is a way of reviewing resource information and public concerns before making long- range decisions about public land management. Management priorities and guidelines in the plan enable DNR to determine whether or not applica- tions for use on state land should be allowed or denied. Fifty-eight percent (58%) of state- owned land in the borough is public domain land. Public domain includes uplands, tidelands, and submerged lands. The plan determines priority uses, land disposal locations, land use classifications, and guidelines for leases and permits on state land. The or Mental Health Trust land. The remaining 42% of state land was set aside by the legislature for conser- vation purposes. There are several state parks, one wilderness area, and eight critical habitat areas, refuges and sanctuaries. These conservation lands are to be retained in public ownership (not available for borough selection or land sales), and are administered under more restrictive land use controls by the Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation or the Department of Fish and Game. The Department of Natural Resources has a statutory responsibility to man- age public domain land for multiple use and make them available formaxi- mum use, consistent with the public interest. Various divisions within the department have the responsibility for authorizing a wide variety of uses, such as oil and gas lease sales, timber harvests, land sales, commercial facili- ties, non-profit facilities, and personal uses. These authorizations are made with the goal of developing resources while protecting public interests. The plan can affect where and how these uses will be allowed. The Department also has a responsibil- ity for satisfying municipal land enti- tlement. To date, the borough needs to be conveyed an additional 70,000 acres. The plan can affect what state land is available for borough selec- tions. PUBLIC COMMENTS TO DATE Fourpublic meetings were held in Decem- ber on the draft plan. Here is a brief sum- mary of some of the comments received at the meetings and by mail so far. A more comprehensive summary of all comments will be developed after the public com- ment period, along with the planning team's response and a description of the proposed changes to the draft plan In response to public concerns, another round of public meetings will be added. The public will be able to re- view the revisions to the draft plan before it is finalized. After the plan is finalized, there will be one more 30- day public review period.

A W2 form, which shows wages and withholding for the year, must be filled out and sent to each employee. They use the information on the W2 to fill out their 1040 and file that with the IRS. The information that you put on the W3s comes from the total of all W2s completed for your employees. This form is sent to the Social Security Administration, along with a copy of each W2. The amounts entered on the W3 must be the same as the totals of the year's 941 (employer's quarterly federal tax return) forms. The quarterly 941, for the last quarter of 1994, must be filled out and submitted to the IRS by the end of January, 1995. The 945 form, annual return of withheld federal income tax from gambling winnings, pensions, annuities, and IRAs, needs to be filled out only if you withheld federal income tax on an individual's winnings, or if a contractor refused to furnish his EIN and you withheld part of his earnings. One last item to remember is if an independent contractor or a council member has been paid more than $600 during the last calendar year, then the 1099 miscellaneous form must be filled out. And, for those of you who are not municipalities, don't forget to fill out the form 940, annual report of FUTA taxes. If you need help with these forms, call the local government specialist within your region. Juana Post is a VISTA with the Southcentral Regional Office. FY95 Mini -Grant Program From: The Southeasterner, January/February, 1995 The FY 95 Rural Development Assistance (RDA) Mini -grant program funds economic development and planning projects. This grant is available on a competitive basis to communities of less than 10,000. Each eligible community can submit one or more applications for projects to a maximum of $30,000. Eligible applicants within the community are the municipality, Traditional or IRA council and non-profit corporations. A regional non-profit may submit an application on behalf of a community if the community supports the project and will benefit directly. An eligible applicant may choose to form a partnership with a private business if the community will benefit with jobs, income or services. Communities over 900 in population should publish or post a public notice notifying residents of the existence of this funding source for economic development projects. In this way, the community can encourage diversity and innovation from multiple sources. When more than one project is proposed, the most viable application with the greatest community benefit should be selected.

How To Choose And Work With An Accountant Adapted from: Board Briefs, vol. 6, No. 6 Choosing a technically competent accountant is an important step for any organization. And working with that accountant is an added challenge. First, assess your needs regarding financial and tax matters. Several types of accountants are available, including bookkeepers, tax preparers, degreed accountants and CPAs. Your organization should determine what services it needs and select an accountant who possesses the proper skills, training and licensing necessary to perform those services. For example, only a CPA can do an audit that will meet the state or federal audit requirements. The most important factor in selecting an accountant is the individual's understanding of municipalities or non- profit organizations. Make sure that your accountant understands the special needs and maintains his or her education in this area of tax accounting. In addition, your council, assembly, or board of directors should feel comfortable asking questions and the accountant should be able to make the answers understandable. Handle your relationship with the accountant as you do any other ongoing business relationship. Be specific about what you need from your accountant. Tell your accountant what services you need, whether monthly, quarterly, annually, or just a one-time event. Put it in writing, and have it signed by both parties. Include deadlines. As financial matters are discussed during the year, consider getting advice from your accountant. The additional fees may be worth it during the budget process, internal control review, or computer conversion. And, you can always get help from your friendly, dependable local government specialist! U. S. Department of Agriculture Restructured By: Frank Muncy, USDA Loans. grants and technical assistance previously provided by the Farmers Home Administration, Rural Development Administration and the Rural Electric Administration are all now under the newly created Rural Economic & Community Development (RECD). Mr. Ernest Brannon is Action State Director for RECD. The Department headed by Mr. Brannon has three Divisions with a wide number of programs. One division, the Rural Housing and Community Development Service division, furnishes programs to finance single and multi- family loans to low and moderate income families and community facility loans to finance such items as fire stations, clinics, street and bridge improvements, hydro electric, etc. The Rural Utilities Service division has loans and grants for electric and telephone cooperatives, central water and waste water disposal systems, including solid waste (landfills). The third division, the Rural Business and Cooperative Development Service, provides guaranteed loans for rural business expansion and new job creations. Assistance is also available for creation and technical assistance to cooperatives. Special note: Certain programs under RECD will be targeting additional resources for projects located in the Bethel and Sitka Census Districts. Inquiries and requests for assistance with any of these programs should be directed to the Director, Mr. Ernest Brannon, at 634 South Bailey #103, Palmer, AK 99645. His telephone number is 1-907- 745-5398. Frank Muncy is the Acting Business & Industry Chief with the RECD Office in Palmer Teaching Subsistence Skills and Values By. Pamela Carter Lee Stephan, the CEO of Eklutna Tribal Office, got tired of looking at the kids in his village with attitudes of "it's bad and it ain't gonna get no better' and thinking to himself, "Another lost generation." He also was discouraged to look at the elders who sat on the sidelines because nobody gave them the opportunity to share their knowledge. So four years ago he and other concerned citizens of Eklutna developed solutions to bridge the generation gap to provide both groups with a sense of importance and pride based on their common traditional culture. One of these solutions was the Eklutna Youth camp. This camp is what many communities term a "Spirit Camp," which teaches pride in traditional cultural practices and values. In Alaska, these camps have been springing up all over the state. Instructors and elders teach the youth skills for the subsistence way of life, such as making and setting fishnets or fishwheels, and cleaning and smoking salmon. Elders also impart traditional values by telling the youth stories about their ancestors around a camp fire. Southcentral Regional Office VISTA Pamela Carter is writing a statewide directory and resource guide of camps or day camps that teach youth subsistence skills and values. She would like to list as many of these programs as possible, so if you know of a program that you think should be included, please write or call her by Jan. 30 at the latest. Also be sure to contact her if you would like a copy of this booklet, which will be available by the end of February 1995.

Fax: 269-4539 New Commissioner From: Governors Office News Release, January 3 Governor Tony Knowles has named Mike Irwin to be the commissioner of the Department of Community and Regional Affairs. Mike Irwin, 38, an Alaska Native with experience in communities from Southeast Alaska to the Arctic Circle, was born in Bettles and raised in Nenana. Over the years he has worked in various roles for the Sealaska and Doyon regional corporations, Tlingit and Haida Central Council, Tanana Chiefs Conference, Alaska Federation of Natives, and the Alaska Natives Commission. Irwin served for two years as special assistant on rural and Native affairs during the Cowper Administration. and he recently worked for the state on issues stemming from the flooding of several Koyukuk River villages. Irwin has a master's degree in public administration from the University of Alaska, Juneau, writing his thesis on the relationship between Native governments and the state. "Mike Irwin's education and work experiences offer a wide range of knowledge and talent," said Governor Knowles. "Through his work over the past 15 years, Mike knows not just the broad areas of concern of so many people across the state, but also their day-to-day needs. That knowledge will be invaluable as we seek to forge partnerships between the state and local governments and the private sector." "Rural residents want diversified economies and good jobs as much as anyone else," said Irwin. `The challenge of the years ahead will be to find alternatives for those parts of the state that lack self-sufficiency, while also seeking to strengthen and enhance the regional centers and urban areas of Alaska. I know the Governor is committed to taking up that challenge and I'm honored to work for him." The Lighter Side Lband calls the family doctor, "Doctor, my d isn't feeling well. Should I bring him office?" Doctor replies, "That won't ssary, I know your husband. It's ail ad, he just thinks he's sick." About later, the doctor meets the wife in the "How's your husband?" he inquires. uch worse," she answers, "now he e's dead." �I A 11966 XV `rvuox 0$IuPT3 0I Z reuax -3o 1TO 'U1UT[1!Ak ugor algv.rouoH aq.L I VPV SSVID 4SJU IOS66 VXSV IV '30VHOHJN- OZZ apnS 31INaAV q1t, 'M C. 33I330 IVNi0I03H 'IVUINi3JHInOS SIIIV:HV 'IVNIOI93H CINV )LLINIf1WWOJ 30 .I.N a1AU Idd3Q VISV"I`i d0 31VIS MarkAir 4562-2570 R11131J95 O: 1111, r ll 1 January 31, 1995 Dear Alaskan, Last week, we were able to preliminarily close our books on 1994, and the news was good. For the first time since 1991, we recorded an operational profit of $3.413 million. We earned this operating profit on both our jet routes and our Express routes, proving that an airline can make money while offering competitive prices to all parts of Alaska. Our seat miles rose 43 percent last year, our load factor increased from 60.5 percent to 67 percent and passenger revenues were up 38 percent. These figures reflect the many changes we've implemented over the past few years as we turned MarkAir into the most efficient airline in the nation. In the airline business, analysts measure efficiency by dividing operating expenses by the number of seats an airline has and the number of miles it flies. They call this calculation cost per seat mile. MarkAir ended 1994 with a cost per seat mile of 6.3 cents, the lowest in the nation. Southwest Airlines, considered by many to be the nation's leading no -frills carrier, operates at a cost of 7.2 cents, while Alaska Airlines operates at about 8.5 cents. The lower the seat mile cost, the lower the fares an airline can charge and still make money. The only thing now standing between MarkAir and ongoing profitability is the refinancing of the debt load we accumulated during our fare wars with Alaska Airlines and our subsequent Chapter 11 reorganization. The financing package we have taken to the state will allow us to manage our debt payment and continue our profitability. We are not asking for any money from the state — only a loan guarantee backed by MarkAir collateral. Our package is based on a strong business plan, proven results and solid collateral. It will turn 60 percent of the company over to MarkAir employees through an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) similar to ones developed for employees of Northwest Airlines, United and Chrysler. The ESOP, capitalized through savings generated by a 10 percent, across-the-board, salary reduction, would borrow $40 million from a private lender, with a guarantee from the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority (AIDEA). Much of the $40 million would repay the short-term debt that has strangled us, and repay hundreds of our unsecured creditors. It would also bring us current on our long-term obligations, and relieve our liquidity problems which have kept us from instituting additional cost -saving measures such as a new reservations system and ticketless travel. Our competitors have spread a lot of misinformation about MarkAir and our refinancing plan. These are the same competitors who kept your air fares artificially high for years, and the ones who tried to drive us out of business when we introduced competition to Alaska. They are also the ones who have come to the state for financial help in the past, and are now crying foul when we ask for a loan guarantee. Why, one can only ask, are they protesting so loudly?
