My name is Bob Seymour, I am a member of the Kenai High School Hockey
Booster Club. At the current rates the Sports Center charges the high school
between ten and eleven thousand dollars for the ice time needed for practices
and games. The Kenia Peninsula Borough provides each school with five
thousand dollars annually. The balance then is raised by the booster club.
We are currently selling tickets for a raffle, advertisements in our program,
and local businesses are supporting us with contributions. The hockey team
would appreciate very much any amount that the City of Kenai could consider
contributing to this worthy cause.

Subject: Jet Fuel Facilities Site Assessment
As requested in your September 20, 1995 Council Meeting, I have attached a copy of the
July 28, 1995 letter from ADEC and the investigation/cleanup plan I prepared
concerning the above mentioned site.
In October of 1991, the City hired Northern Test Labs to pull an underground storage
tank and perform a site assessment at the Airport Emergency Generator Site.
Monitoring wells upgradient of the UST tested positive for hydrocarbons (375 - 2240
ppm) and xylene (.021-.035), indicating that another source was contributing to
groundwater contamination at the site. The most likely source was the old jet fuel
facilities approximately 40 feet upgradient.
On July 1, 1995, the lessee for the facility, Kenai Aviation, failed to renew their lease
and the property reverted back to the City. On July 28, 1995 Monica English of ADEC
wrote to the City informing us that
"... a site assessment must be conducted to confirm whether contamination
has resulted from this tank system."
This is consistent with ADEC UST regulations requiring assessments for closed systems.
The City may attempt to recover assessment costs from any of the original lessees (see
attached report).

RE: Kenai Airport - Former Kenai Aviation Services Inc.
Request for Assessment
Dear Ms. Clark: VV
This letter is being sent as a follow-up to our phone conversation regarding the 4W
underground fuel storage system at the above referenced site. ^�
VV .
A review of departmental records indicates that the facility formerly known as Kenai ,
Aviation Services, previously registered four underground fuel storage tanks at their „v
facility. This facility was located on a leased lot belonging to the City of Kenai. At this
time the department has no record that these tanks were ever upgraded or properly
decommissioned. Additionally, it is the department's understanding that these tanks V
have not been used for several years and that the lot is no longer leased by Kenai
Aviation Services. Therefore, as land owner, this correspondence is being sent to
your attention.
The state's Underground Storage Tank (UST) regulations (18 AAC 78.080) require that
after 12 months of temporary closure, substandard USTs must be permanently closed.
Registration forms for these tanks indicates that they were installed in 1977, are of
bare steel construction and consist of two 8,000 gallon gasoline (aviation) tanks and
two 12,000 gallon gasoline (jet fuel) tanks.
Based on a review of all information received for this site, the aforementioned tanks
must either be upgraded or decommissioned. In either situation, a site assessment
CITY OF KENAI 2 July 28, 1995
must be conducted to confirm whether contamination has resulted from this tank
system. Therefore, you are requested to notify t epartmen , in writing of your
intent for this underground storage system by ugust 31, 1995.
Please be aware that previously conducted asses at the nearby Airport l
Generator site (#91-23-00-052-05) indicates that there is a potentia r-corrtam' ation
to have occurred from the former Aviation Services site. As suc ; consideration
should be given to the removal of any product possibly remaini in these tank
If you have any questions regarding this correspondence, or any aspect of this
you may contact 2- project, y y o tact me at 26_ 5210. 1 �

convenience.
KENAI MUNICIPAL AIRPORT
JET FUEL FACILITIES UST
INVESTIGATION/CLEANUP PLAN
Prepared By: Rachel Clark, Engineering Technician
August 17, 1995
KENAI MUNICIPAL AIRPORT
JET FUEL FACILITIES UST
INVESTIGATION/CLEANUP PLAN
1.0 BACKGROUND INFORMATION
1.1 Legal History
On November 13, 1968, the City of Kenai entered into a lease agreement with Standard
Oil Company for the Jet Fuel Facilities located on the Kenai Municipal Airport and
described as:
An area 60' x 65', as shown on a survey dated September 25, 1968,
made by Hewitt V. Lounsbury & Associates and located 50' south of
the present Terminal Building, together with fuel line location under
and across the General Aircraft Apron as outlined on Standard Oil
Company of California Drawing GB-131332-0 dated August 27, 1968
and described as Plat & Piping Plan - Jet Fueling Facilities, Western
Alaska Airlines, Airport, Kenai, Alaska.
In July of 1978, the City signed a new lease agreement for the area with John Stoehner
and Kristine Stoehner.
On May 31, 1983, the Stoehner lease was reassigned to Richard Odgers and Carroll
Sievers, d/b/a Grizzly Aircraft Services. In July of 1983, Grizzly Air Services entered into
its own lease agreement with the City for the site.
On April 23, 1985, a lease was issued to William S. Griffin, Jr. and Baxter Snider and
Kenai Aviation Services, d/b/a Aviation Services. Since that time, Kenai Aviation has
held the lease agreement. The lease has been in and out of default status since late 1986
for failure to pay rent and to carry the required insurance by the leaseholder.
Kenai Aviation did not renew their lease this past year, and on July 1, 1995, the property
reverted back to the City.
Jet Fuel Facilities Investigation/Cleanup Plan - Page 1
1.2 Site Description
The site is a fenced area and utility building south of the existing airport terminal.
Piping and Plot plans show two 12,000 gallon fuel tanks running north to south in the
southeast comer of the lot. ADEC indicated that the owner registered these two tanks,
as well as two additional 8,000 gallon tanks for the site. I did not find any information
to confirm the presence of the two 8,000 gallon tanks.
The utility room contains various pumps, piping and valves, none of which appear to be
of significant value.
The piping system extends out perpendicular from the fenceline to approximately 120
feet. It then runs north for approximately 700 feet. Plans show four -inch supply and
return lines. Service ports were installed sometime after the original construction.

1.3 Field Investigation
On August 2, 1995 the Airport Operations Specialist and I inspected the site. We found
the site to be in generally good condition, but it appeared not to have been used in quite
some time. We measured approximately 2" of liquid in one tank and approximately 3" in
the other. Both liquids smelled like jet fuel, although the liquid in tank #2 seemed very
diluted.
We were unable to measure any fuel in the service ports as they had closed connection
valves. Both the second and third ports emitted a strong diesel smell.
A City UST pull downstream of the Jet Fuel Facility had hydrocarbon contamination at
the groundwater table, probably indicating some leakage from this site. The extent of
the plume is unknown.
2.0 INVESTIGATION/CLEANUP PLAN
2.1 General Plan
A. Pump fuel out of the tank - dispose of waste
A contractor will be hired to pump the fuel from the tank and dispose of it.
This should eliminate the chance of future leaking and further contamination.
B. Site Assessment
A qualified firm will be hired to do a Phase I and Phase II Site Assessment.
(a) Phase I -history
Research will be done on the historical uses, contaminants, and spill
records for the UST.
(b) Phase II - sampling
Soil and groundwater samples will be taken to determine the extent of
soil and groundwater contamination.
C. *Corrective Action Plan
If contaminated soil/groundwater is discovered, the City must submit a plan to
ADEC to correct contamination (through excavation and remediation) at the
site. Depending on the circumstances, the Corrective Action Plan may be
written in conjunction with a Risk Assessment, either before, during or after
the excavation at the site.
Jet Fuel Facilities Investigation/Cleanup Plan - Page 4
D. *Risk Assessment
The City may be able to alter standard cleanup level requirements by proving
that the soil/groundwater contamination poses no threat to people or the
environment. We will not know if this is a viable option until at least after the
Site Assessment, and possibly after the excavation has already been done.
E. Excavation - soil, tank removal and sampling
A contractor will be hired to excavate contaminated soil and pull the tanks out
of the ground. An independent third party must sample the excavation
perimeter to ensure that all contaminated soil has been removed.
F. Remediate Soil
After excavation, a remediation contractor will be hired to clean the
contaminated soil and tanks. Transportation and disposal may be done by the
same Contractor, or as a separate item, depending primarily on the method of
remediation. If contaminated groundwater is encountered, remediation will
need to be in -situ.
G. Final Report
After all cleanup activities are concluded, the independent third party will
submit a final report detailing all activities at the site.
2.2 Schedule
I propose the following schedule to investigate and cleanup the site:
August 1, 1995 - Sept. 1, 1995
January 1, 1996 - May 1, 1996
July 1, 1996 - November 1, 1996

2.3 Cost Estimates
A. Jackson Construction service has estimated $1,500.00 to pump the two 12,000
gallon tanks and dispose of the liquid. As we have not yet verified the existence
of the two 8,000 tanks, I cannot even begin to estimate how full these are, or how
much it will cost to pump them.
B. A routine site assessment for this work will cost $40,000 - $50,000. The
downstream wells from the previous Site Assessment should also be sampled. If
extensive contamination is found, the price would, of course, go up accordingly. I
would recommend starting with industry -standard assessment, but Administration
should be aware that this could be a problem covering thousands of square feet.
C. It is impossible to estimate costs any further than this until actual field sample
results come in. Similar to the Maintenance Shop Assessment, I would
recommend that further cost estimates as well as remedial alternatives be
developed by the Consultant as part of the Phase II Assessment.
3.0 RECOMMENDATIONS
At this time, I recommend:
1. Funds be appropriated to cover the costs of pumping the two 12,000 tanks.
TOTAL COST $1,500.00
2. Funds be appropriated to cover the costs of a Phase I and Phase II
assessment. TOTAL COST $50,000.00
3. Direction be given to the staff to begin work on the site assessment RFP,
to be distributed in November and bid in December for work to begin in
January.

SUBJECT:
Senior Center Solarium & Storage Sheds
FOR:
Council meeting of 10/19/95
Additional funds are needed for the Senior Center Solarium and Storage Shed project.
New Storage Building
The city was to provide a small metal pre-fab storage building for the contractor to install
on a concrete slab. We put $2,000 in the budget for the city to purchase the storage
shed.
The contractor will provide the city with a custom built storage shed for $2,960 which is
only $960 more than our budget. Advantages include the new building will:
1. Be sturdier
2. It will match Vintage Pointe Manor - metal roof (and T-111 that will have 8"
grooves to look like cedar)
3. It will be taller (and maybe larger) thus have more volume or cubic feet.
Old Storage Building
The old storage building has been moved according to the plans and specs but we have
some additional items that need to be done:
1. Move the building west an additional 10' so we can get snow removal equipment
behind senior building. $840
2. Ramp up into building so we can get riding mower and other items easier into
building. $385
3. Skirt around building to make it more attractive. $210
4. Electrical power into the building for lights and outlets. $250
Since we already have $2,000 in the budget, we will need an additional $2,645 for the
above changes.
The Senior Center and the construction contractor are very anxious to complete these
additions as soon as possible (hopefully before snow cover) therefore I am requesting
a second hearing to the appropriation ordinance.

WATER QUALITY AND QUANTITYMEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
The City of Kenai is requesting state assistance in the form of funding grants for our
Water System Improvements.
The problems with our present water system that these grants will help in solving:
1. Color. Our present water has a brown color caused by organic coloring, or
tannins.
2. Turbidity. Our present water has a high turbidity.
3. US EPA Regulations. Surface Water Treatment Rule for groundwater under the
direct influence of surface water may require a change in our present system.
4. Water Supply. We have a water supply problem during years of low rainfall. The
recent addition of the Thompson Park Subdivision (162 lots) requires an additional
water well.
5. Fire Safety and Water Pressure. The city water system study by Nelson &
Associates revealed four water line loops that are needed to alleviate dead ends
and provide better circulation, fire safety, and water pressure.
The funds would be used to:
a. Design and construct a new well house. We have drilled many exploratory wells
and have found a location between our existing well houses, to have excellent
water quality and quantity. We have completed drilling this production well no. 3.
b. Design and construct a new SCADA for all three wells, underground pump house,
with it's 3 million gallon tank, and possibly other data gathering points. This new
computer operated system will allow the city to have much better control of the
system. Our present system is over 20 years old and still relies on pressure/flow
mechanical switches. The new system will allow us to control the water from each
point as a system instead of individually.
C. Design and construct water line loops. This will help solve the problems listed in
#5 above.

Others present: Councilman Measles, Keith Holland -Acting Airport Manager,
Marilyn Kebschull- Administrative Assistant Planning, Richard
Dover, Barbara Kangas
Quorum not established. Decision to allow Mr. Dover to present information to those
present.
Richard Dover of New Technologies presented information to the Commission
regarding his proposal to install a voice message center at the airport. The
information center could allow persons to access information to a variety of services
available in the area. Mr. Dover stated he presently operates a service for non-profit
agencies in the area which currently lists 40 services. This service is operated in
conjunction with Healthy Communities. Mr. Dover stated he wanted to clarify that he
would not be in competition with the new service that will be operated at the airport.
Instead of booking reservations, his service would only supply information as to
services available in the area. Interested parties could be informed on the message
how to book a reservation or obtain a service.
Mr. Dover stated there were three options to installing the service as was listed on his
letter which was included in the packet. Dover stated after further investigation that
option one was not possible. The reason being that the phone currently in use at the
airport does not have a dial function. He also felt option three was probably not the
best choice as people would tie up the pay phones. Dover felt option three would be
the best choice.
Holloway asked Mr. Dover what costs were involved. Mr. Dover stated that current
rates for a mail box were $9.00 a month for non-profit organizations and $9.50 a
month for profit -making organizations. In addition, there is a $16.00 set up fee. The
business is allowed a 60 second message which is equal to 100 words or
approximately 1/3 page of information. Mr. Holloway stated he felt this was long
enough to advertise a service and short enough to keep the caller's attention. Mr.
Dover stated that services such as his are currently provided through the "Daily News"
and the "Clarion."
Holloway asked what cost would be involved for the city. Mr. Dover stated it was
negotiable but he would install the equipment at cost. He stated he felt the equipment
Airport Commission October 12, 1995
Work Session Minutes Page 1
would cost approximately $200. In addition, there would be the monthly phone line
fee of approximately $35.00.
Mr. Dover stated one of his goals would be to work with the Chamber of Commerce
and perhaps provide free service for public events. This would allow tourists coming
through the airport to find out about special events that may be planned in the area.
Acting Airport Manager Keith Holland advised those present that they had been given
a letter pertaining to the drums at the UPS building. Holland noted that to date an
answer has not been received and that the letter was mailed September 29. Holloway
asked if there was any idea what was stored in the drums. Holland stated it appears
there is possibly waste oil in some of them, others are sealed and full. However, it
doesn't appear that the drums contain original contents by the looks of the drums.
Commission asked as to status of Randy Ernst's return. Holland advised he would be
returning on October 19. Ms. Koerber asked if any information had been received
regarding the towing question. Holland stated he is unsure how to track the towing
other than coming in and 3 a.m. to track the tow company. Holland stated more
vehicles have been towed but he suspects the company is hit and miss with the
towing. In addition, Holland stated he has discussed the situation with the company
and they assure him they are towing.

5. OLD BUSINESS
A. Bluff Erosion - Bill Nelson was introduced. He explained he had been invited to
speak to the Commission regarding bluff erosion problems. He stated he is currently
working with Dillingham on another similar project. Bill felt it would be feasible to
develop a wall at the creek entrance and work it back incrementally as funds become
available. He stated that ultimately a steel sheet piling would be ideal, but could run
$1000 per lineal foot and would possibly be 20 feet high. It would need to go at least
30 feet above mean water.
Harbor Commission
October 9, 1995
Page 1
Jim Bookey stated that there has been discussion on using concrete pilings. Bill
responded that because the silt is such fine grained material, that if it can get behind
the pilings, it would fail. Anything that is put in would need to have twice as much
in the ground as there is above ground. He did not feel that there was any
configuration that would be good. He stated that only if the pilings were cut up and
used as rip rap, or possibly a rubble wall would work, but it would need ,to be graded
and the rubble would have to be dug in.
Jim Bookey asked about possibly putting the pilings in front of the dunes as a solution
to the dune erosion problems. Bill responded that they would probably work well as
a sand fence and to divert vehicular traffic off the dunes.
Mike McCune asked if Bill had ever worked with vinyl sheeting. Bill stated he had
never worked with it and as far as he knew it hasn't been tried up here.
Keith stated that he had gone to Unocal and checked out the sheet piling they were
putting in there. He stated that Phillips gabions did not hold during the first major
storm that hit and the gabions failed. Keith stated that the gabions at the city dock
have problems with ice getting caught in the mesh and pulling the mesh out. Bill
stated that even gabions were cost prohibitive because of the cost of rip rap material.
Jim Bookey asked if building a steel wall in sections would accelerate the problems
above or below the area. Bill responded that it would be difficult to determine how
much impact it would have without a lot of documentation as to prior erosion
compared to erosion after the fact.
Keith stated that they have lost four or five feet at Mission Street. He was hoping to
get the Corps to approve rip rap for that situation, but only for a short term solution.
Bill stated that during the big storms, using the pilings would help, but they would
definitely need to be anchored down somehow to keep them from being washed away.
If the water got behind them, then they could be washed out into the river, causing a
much bigger liability.
Jim Bookey stated he would pass on to Council what he learned, but it didn't sound
like there was going to be any quick or cheap fix to the problem. His concern about
using the pilings on the bluffs was more for liability if they were washed out. He felt
it would be better to use them on the back side of the dunes to control vehicular and
off -road traffic and to control access across the dunes, with a circular parking area
installed at the end. He felt educational information and signage would be a key part
of a successful program
Harbor Commission
October 9, 1995
Page 2
Tom Thompson recommended that we: A) not embark on a cement piling project at
this time due to the uncertainties of them moving and the liability involved and to put
that recommendation on hold; and B) he suggested looking into a parking lot with a
turnaround at the end, education of the public, and a series of boardwalks through the

Carlson's. George Spracher SECONDED. The motion was approved unanimously.

Page 1
be for $68,529 will be submitted to Council for approval. There was $75,000 budgeted for
the upgrade, but there will also need to be some wiring done. Also there will be an
additional $7,069 for the view, voice workstation and monitor for the ADA. It will be
delivered and installed at the same time as the computer upgrade is done. This will take
about 2-3 months once the purchase orders are approved.
Emily reported that the gate count for the year was 82,349 for the library. The book count
was 86,000, and they circulated 7,358 videos. Also they provided 706 books to other
libraries, but only borrowed 433.
Lorrene Forbes asked if the expansion is approved, if that would affect the computer
upgrade. Emily stated that the wiring would still need to be done and should not affect the
upgrade.
Emily stated that Mr. Kluge was not happy with the fact that the commission did not want a
two story building. He felt it was more expensive to build a story and a half. Emily
explained that a two story building would need additional personnel that they were not
budgeted for. The story and a half would be able to be handled with the staff that is now in
place.
6. OLD BUSINESS
A. Friends - Kathy Heus stated that the Friends met last night. They mostly discussed
the library bond issue. They voted to approve $600 for new books for the library.
Also they approved funds for prizes for a story writing contest. Friends also did a
report on the author signing by Steve Reynolds.
B. Library Plans - Emily reported that Mr. Kluge submitted a color copy of the proposed
addition, if the bond passes. Vince O'Reilly stated he felt that there should be a
building committee established to assist in decisions on the library expansion plans.
Lorene Forbes asked how it was handled when the original library was built. Kathy
stated that there was not commission at that time, but there was a community group
that was involved in assisting with the plans.
C. Student Commissioner - Kathy Heus reported that Kevin Benson was appointed as the
new student representative for the library commission. Bob Peters stated that he
would like to see a sophomore or junior get appointed next year, in order to have
them on board for a longer period. Lorene responded that she thought the schools
advertised through their Government class, which is normally taken in the senior
year.

1. ROLL CALL
Members Present: Jack Castimore, Dale Sandahl, Michele Fahnholz, Roger Seibert, Ron
Yamamoto
Members Absent: Richard Hultberg, Kelly Gifford
Also Present: Kayo McGillivray, Duane Bannock, Debby Fahnholz, Cathy Zorbas
2. APPROVAL OF AGENDA
Kayo requested that Cathy Zorbas be added under Persons Scheduled to be Heard. She
would like to discuss cross-country skiing.
3. APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Roger Seibert MOVED to approve the minutes as written. Jack Castimore SECONDED the
motion. The minutes were approved as written.
4. PERSONS SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD
Cathy Zorbas introduced herself as the new ski instructor at the high school. She would like
to approach the Commission for assistance in setting up cross-country ski trails around the
Oilers field on the outer edges of the golf course for use with the high school and junior high
school ski teams. There is another group that has offered to assist in getting this going.
They would need at least a snow machine and something to set up the track with. This could
cost anywhere from $1200 to $7500, plus a reliable snow machine. Kayo asked if Que Pasa
had any machinery available for use this season. Cathy stated that a drag was necessary for
packing the trail, and may be available for temporary use. She then asked if there were any
Parks and Rec people who would be able to assist with packing trail, etc. Kayo responded
that staff would probably be available on a limited basis. Cathy stated that some signage
Parks & Rec Commission
October 5, 1995
Page 1
would be helpful to assist in keeping snow machines off the ski trail. Kayo stated that signs
shouldn't be a problem. Cathy stated they would really to set up a 5K system. Kayo stated
that maybe Donnie Morgan could help establish the layout, since he had worked with his
father a few years back on a ski trail in that area. He also stated they would need to get
together with the people at the golf course to OK it, but he didn't expect any problems with
them as long as they kept it off the greens.
Jack Castimore MOVED that the Commission recommend to Council that Que Pasa be
allowed to set and work with Parks and Rec on the ski trails with Parks and Rec supporting
with personnel as available. Roger Seibert SECONDED the motion. A verbal vote was
unanimous.
5. DIRECTOR'S REPORT
Kayo announced that Steve Latz had sent a note to Council asking to be withdrawn from the
Commission due to his work schedule. Council had agreed, and Ron Yamamoto was
appointed to the Commission in his place. Kayo introduced and welcomed Ron to the
Commission.
Kayo reported that the softball strip restrooms are not yet completed, since the fixtures have
not yet arrived. The same person who is doing the restrooms is also going to be setting up
the greenhouse. He felt the greenhouse should be ready for use by the first of the year, and
was hopeful that they would be able to get plants ready for spring use. Kayo stated that they
went over budget this year on beautification on personnel expenses. He stated this was
partly due to the strange summer weather. Normally the last mowing is done about the first
of September, but this year everything just kept growing into October. They are just now
winterizing the restrooms at the Little League and softball fields.
Kayo reported that basketball will be getting under way soon. There is a group of women
who are trying to get four teams going and possibly there will be a women's night.
Kayo announced he will be going to Anchorage next week for a full hip replacement
operation. He may be out for a month to two months. He hopes to come back at least on a
limited basis before that time though.
6. OLD BUSINESS
A. Kenai Lions Request - Kayo stated that he met with Del Lopez and Joe Donahue of
the Lions Club last week. They really didn't have any more information than they
had at the last Commission meeting. He stated they are tentatively scheduled to meet
tomorrow and go out to the park to go over what they want the City's assistance with.
Parks & Rec Commission
October 5, 1995
Page 2
He felt this project is going to need more coordination before anything can get
moving. He stated that Council did ask that they get written permission from the
Oilers for use of their parking facilities before proceeding any further.
7. NEW BUSINESS
A. NRFP Annual Conference - Kayo reported that Bob Fratis is in attendance there in a
school on playground safety. Hopefully he will come back as a certified playground
inspector. Also Kayo attended the state conference in Seward. They received the
proclamation and it will be hung in the Rec Center.
B. Five Year Plan - Kayo suggested going over the 1995 list of scheduled upgrades. On
the 1995 list, the park restroom upgrade has been partially completed. There was a
suggestion that by buying the holding tanks, the stone structures could be put together
locally at a much lower cost. Hopefully, more cost information will be available
before budget time. They also upgraded two existing restrooms. Beginning Section
36 will be put on hold for a while. They installed new restroom facilities at the
softball greenstrip and established grass at Old Town. On the continuation of tent
camping, there was not much activity there this year due to the road construction.
Establishing cross-country ski trails are currently being discussed.
Kayo also stated that they installed some porta path at the Municipal park. There
were some problems there this year where the path kept being taken apart. They will
probably have to stake it down and lay sand over it and hopefully this will no longer
happen.
C. Tract C, Daubenspeck Property - Duane Bannock stated that there is a group that
wants to purchase this property and build an assisted living complex for senior
citizens. Planning and Zoning is also looking at this to determine if this is the best
use for the property. Dale asked if this was historic land. Duane thought that access
would probably be either from the north side or from Bridge Access, which is away
from the historic area. He stated the money from the land sale would go into the land
bank. The city would be able to draw off the interest for its use, but the royalty
money would go toward Parks and Rec use. Dale felt it would be best to wait and
see what Planning and Zoning does before Parks and Rec makes any decisions.
Jack Castimore MOVED to have administration pass on the Planning and Zoning
decision before Parks and Rec does anything. Ron Yamamoto SECONDED the
motion. The motion passed unanimously.
8. CORRESPONDENCE
None.
9. INFORMATION
Duane Bannock stated that he had voiced to Council the Commission's concern about leaving
the restrooms open all winter. Council felt that they should continue to be left open and any
vandalism would have to be dealt with in the spring.
Duane stated that Joe Moore will probably be certified as a new Council member. Council
has decided to re-evaluate the issue of tourism in December.
Kayo stated he would be getting out some more information on the five year plan to the
group before the next meeting to give them a chance to look it over for comments and
suggestions.
10. ADJOURNMENT
Jack Castimore MOVED to adjourn. Michele Fahnholz SECONDED the motion. The
meeting was adjourned at 8:45 p.m.

6. PUBLIC HEARINGS
a. Encroachment Permit, Resolution 95-48, Pete & Valerie Ischi
Acting Chairman Bryson asked for staff report. Kebschull stated she was unable to
add additional comments and noted staff comments in packets. Bryson stated
Encroachment Permit request was for vertical height limitations. Application by Pete
and Valerie Ischi of 300 Rogers Road, Inlet View Subdivision, Part III.
Bryson opened meeting for public comments. None noted.
RON GOECKE RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF PZ95-48 ENCROACHMENT
PERMIT FOR LOT 16, BLOCK 8, INLET VIEW ADDITION PART III. MOTION
SECONDED BY TERESA WERNER-QUADE.
Karen Mahurin asked how the encroachment had occurred. Valerie Ischi responded
that they were not aware that they had gone over the height limit. She stated the
plans were within the guidelines and they felt that when it was framed that it was
correct. It was brought to the Ischi's attention by the Building Inspector when he was
doing the plumbing and electrical inspections. Ms. Ischi stated that at that point they
didn't know how to fix the problem as they were installing sheetrock that day. Ischi
stated that the encroachment was not intentional and that they were not sure exactly
whether the plans were read wrong or the building framed incorrectly. She stated that
they may not have dug down far enough on the footings for the plans. Ms. Ischi
concluded there was no logical reason.
Bryson asked for other questions for Ms. Ischi or other staff comments. Bryson asked
if there had been adverse comments from neighbors and Kebschull stated that none
were received as far as she was aware of.
Karen Mahurin asked Ms. Ischi if the house was being built by them alone. Ischi
responded yes. Mahurin asked if it had been surveyed, if there was a site plan, and if
an architect designed the plans and that all of it was to specifications. Continuing,
Mahurin asked if somehow in the building of the house there was a two foot error.
Ischi stated there was an architect who looked at the plans prior to the building and
apparently there was some kind of problem during the framing of the house.
VOTE:
Goecke Yes Bryson Yes
Werner-Quade Yes Mahurin Yes
MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.
Planning & Zoning Committee October 12, 1995
Minutes Page 2
Acting Chair Bryson noted that Carl Glick now in attendance. (Arrived at
approximately 7:06 p.m.)
b. Encroachment Permit, Resolution 95-49, Sharon McKenzie
Acting Chair Bryson noted that this Encroachment Permit was submitted by Sharon
McKenzie of 320 Phillips Drive, Valhalla Subdivision and was a request for a side lot
encroachment. Bryson asked if any questions for staff noting the staff report in the
packet as part of the submittal. Bryson opened the meeting for public comment.
Katherine Godek of 310 Phillips Way: Ms. Godek noted she had written a letter and
was available for any questions. Noted her opinion was clear in the letter. Carl Glick
asked if her house was the house on the corner next to this house. Godek confirmed
this. Glick asked if Ms. Godek was living there when the house was started under
construction. Godek offered a brief history. Stated she had moved in July of 1981,
purchasing the home at 310 Phillips Way. At that point, the lot next door was empty
but had a hole dug that appeared to be several years old. Sometime that summer
approximately mid -July or around the first of August, Godek noted a couple men
coming to the lot. She stated there was never a "GC" involved; there was never any
label with the truck and it appeared to her that two laborers were doing the work.
They began setting footings and brought the house to it's present state by the end of
September. The house has existed that way for 15 years. Godek stated the house
has provided a hazard to herself and her family being vacant for that time and
unfinished for that long. Godek noted that over the years she has chased a large
number of children with candles and matches out of the house. Godek stated that
right now there is a lot of mold in the house because the basement has flooded
several times every year; it has frozen basically making it an ice skating rink. Ms.
Godek added that she believes that the concrete block has loosened and that the
foundation itself has been breached. Godek noted the house is 37 feet from her
house. The lots are only 100 feet wide. Godek doesn't believe they had a surveyor
and believes the encroachment was just negligence. Godek ended by saying that she
objects and that this is not just a little bit of the easement but two-thirds of the
easement.
No other public comments were noted; Bryson brought the matter back to the
Commission.
RON GOECKE RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF PZ95-49. MOTION SECONDED
BY CARL GLICK.
Carl Glick stated he had driven out and looked at the property and noted that the
house doesn't look very good and it doesn't sit on the property straight. Also, the
house is very close to Ms. Godek's building and it looks bad. Glick noted that he
could not vote in favor of this encroachment. Phil Bryson noted he had several
comments but in order to get an answer would need the City Engineer present. (Note
that La Shot had not yet arrived.) Bryson stated his first question would be if there
had been a building permit issued for this building noting it was built during the time
Planning & Zoning Committee October 12, 1995
Minutes Page 3
frame that there should be a permit on record. Bryson also questioned if the intention
had been for the building to be a single story structure. Third, if this was intended to
be a single story and there is a likelihood that the area could be rezoned to suburban
residential, it could possibly be a conforming situation in the future. But it is not at this
point.

Glick
No
Mahurin

Bryson
No
MOTION FAILED UNANIMOUSLY.
7. NEW BUSINESS
Werner-Quade No
Goecke No
a. Lease of Tidelands —Memo from Kim Howard
Acting Chairman Bryson asked if staff would be present for this item. Kebschull
responded that Jack La Shot was attending a meeting in Soldotna and was planning
on being at the P&Z Meeting as near to 7 p.m. as possible. Bryson noted that with
the approval of the Commission he would like to move to Item 7b and return to 7a
when Mr. La Shot was present.
b. Landscape Site Plan Review, Resolution 95-51, Clint Hall
Acting Chairman Bryson noted that Mr. Hall has been a client of his firm in the past;
although, there are no current projects that he is aware of at this time. Bryson stated
it was his intent to vote on this item unless there was an objection.
Bryson stated that Mr. Hall is building in a commercially zoned district. Bryson asked
Mr. Hall to describe to the Commission his plans. Mr. Hall informed the Commission
that he is building an office with an attached warehouse. Mr. Hall noted that the plan
as submitted with the packet did not leave enough room for trucks to turn around with
the planned snow removal area. He noted that it appeared that it may be necessary
to eventually move the trees back and have the snow pushed towards the back of the
lot. Hall stated that the original plan was premature. Hall added there was a small
section of natural terrain he had planned to leave in the front corner of the property,
but he now feels it would be more attractive to remove it and plant grass. Discussion
regarding planned snow removal area and options. Carl Glick asked if the roof
overhang was open. Hall confirmed this. Hall continued stating he had initially
planned to leave natural areas but now felt grass would look better. Phil Bryson
stated he was aware of a sewer line that runs from one house on First Street to a
house that runs on Spruce Street and asked if that runs across Hall's property. Hall
stated no. Bryson stated he had a personal preference, even for snow storage areas,
that the areas planted in grass. Carl Glick asked if Mr. Hall had intention to plant
shrubs along the front of the building. Mr. Hall stated there is a walkway along the
Planning & Zoning Committee October 12, 1995
Minutes Page 4
front of the building; however, he had not addressed the issue of shrubs. Hall
continued stating that between the walkway and the building there is a small strip that
something could be planted in. The area was left open for some type of landscaping;
it has not been decided at this point what to put there. Bryson noted that if the
drawing was to scale that possibly the cars could be moved back and this would allow
room for a strip for shrubbery. Hall stated that was a possibility. Hall commented that
all of the homes he built last year included landscaping as a courtesy and the grass
seeds used worked well. Karen Mahurin asked if he was planning on leaving trees as
noted. Hall noted that may not be feasible with the room needed for trucks and the
trees may be removed. Mahurin asked if this would pretty much be a bare lot. Hall
confirmed that the back side would be bare. Hall asked the Commission if they were
looking for more in a Landscape Plan. Mahurin noted that on a lot near Hall's lot that
there were some people who had been before the Commission on other matters.
Mahurin stated the Commission is very dedicated to that area but understands the
commercial value. Mahurin stated her main concern is that some grass and
shrubbery be maintained and the area remain nice. Bryson commented that the
people on the next lot had worked hard to make the area nice. Mahurin added these
were long-time residents of the area. Hall ended by saying they wanted their office to
look nice. Goecke stated that he felt that as long as Hall was willing to put shrubbery
in front of the office, in the two front corners and plant some grass, that would look
nicer that weeds.
RON GOECKE RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION PZ95-51 LANDSCAPE
SITE PLAN REVIEW FOR CLINT HALL WITH SHRUBBERY AND GRASS AS
NOTED IN DISCUSSION. MOTION SECONDED BY CARL GLICK.
Vote:
Werner-Quade Yes Mahurin Yes
Goecke Yes Glick Yes
Bryson Yes
MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.
Acting Chairman Bryson stated he would like to return to Item 7a, Lease of Tidelands,
with City Engineer Jack La Shot's arrival.
Mr. La Shot apologized for being late advising the Commission he was at another
meeting.
a. Lease of Tidelands —Memo from Kim Howard
Mr. La Shot noted that the Harbor Commission did approve of the lease. Bryson
asked if council had discussed this item. Councilman Smalley stated yes and the
council instructed the city administration to go ahead with the lease as proposed.
Mahurin asked if that was before the Planning and Zoning Commission took action.
Planning & Zoning Committee October 12, 1995
Minutes Page 5
Smalley explained that in going ahead and taking part that means that the
administration sets up all of the changes and then the process is sent to the P&Z
Commission for recommendation.
CARL GLICK MOVED APPROVAL OF LEASE OF TIDELANDS AS STATED IN THE
MEMO FIROM KIM HOWARD WHICH IS KENAI SHORE FISHERY LEASE NUMBER
ONE. RON GOECKE SECONDED THE MOTION.
Karen Mahurin noted that the memo stated the approval of the concept of leasing the
tidelands, not approval of any specific application. Bryson asked La Shot if the
Planning Commission had advisory role in the lease of tidelands. La Shot responded
that he felt all applications for lease come before the Commission for advisory action.
La Shot continued stating that the Commission was being asked if the area should be
classified as available for leasing and then the actual lease application may come
back before the group. Mahurin asked for motion to be read. Mahurin stated she
would like to amend motion.
KAREN MAHURIN AMENDED MOTION TO STATE THE PLANNING AND ZONING
COMMISSION APPROVES THE CONCEPT OF LEASING OF THE TIDELANDS AND
FOR THE CITY TO PURSUE THAT PROCESS. TERESA WERNER-QUADE
SECONDED THE AMENDMENT ON THE MOTION.
Councilman Smalley stated it was his understanding that the intent was to have the
P&Z Commission determine that the land was available for lease. La Shot brought
the body to the attention of Kim Howard's letter in the packet which notes once the
city has ciassified the land as available for lease, the information would be published.
Smalley noted that if there is a motion that approves this land as available for lease
that in fact approves the concept of leasing. Mahurin noted that her problem with Mr.
Glick's motion was that the Commission was approving the lease of the tidelands.
Glick stated he noted his motion was as per the letter from Kim Howard which he
thought clarified this issue. Glick stated he didn't have a problem if the motion needed
to be reworded. Bryson asked La Shot if there was something in the packet that
explains what is specifically being leased. Bryson asked if these people acquire a
surface right that other people do not have. Smalley noted that in the leases that
have been approved prior to the restructuring of this document, they have existed in
harmony and there have not been many problems. The only problems have been on
the far side on the first sites. And, those problems have been tourists playing around
with the fines and sometimes driving on the lines. The rights are to hang their
equipment, they have no control over the beach itself. Glick asked if this is the right
to use as a fishery and Smalley responded correct. Smalley stated these leases are
very similar to state's shore fishery permits. Smalley noted that the tidelands leases
were very unique within the city so the city needed to create a document that changed
the rate at which the leases are on this property. This was necessary because they
don't have a block of land leased; they are only leasing the area where their net is
actually fishing. In rewriting the lease for the tidelands, the first step is declaring the
land avaf'table for lease. Smalley stated that is what the Commission was being asked
Planning & Zoning Committee October 12, 1995
Minutes Page 6
to do tonight. After the declaration, it will be advertised, people can apply for leases,
and the people who have held the leases in the past will be first in line.
CARL GLICK AMENDED HIS MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONCEPT OF LEASE OF
THE TIDELANDS.
Bryson noted there is an amendment on the table. Karen Mahurin withdrew her
amendment. Bryson asked for any objections to the withdrawal. None noted; Bryson
deemed the amendment withdrawn.
CARL GLICK MOVED FOR APPROVAL FOR CONCEPT OF THE LEASE OF
TIDELANDS FOR KENAI SHORE FISHERY LEASE NO. 1. KAREN MAHURIN
SECONDED THE MOTION.
Jack La Shot noted that on the last page of the memo there is a legal description of
the property.
Vote:
Mahurin
Yes
Glick
Yes
Bryson
Yes
MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.
8. OLD BUSINESS
Goecke Yes
Werner-Quade Yes
a. National Flood Insurance Program
Jack La Shot stated that information had been provided to the Commission. La Shot
noted the information has not been fully reviewed. Nothing has been received from
the City Attorney. La Shot noted a memo had been prepared by the City Building
Official. La Shot noted that he had discussed the information with the Building Official
and that the requirements for the City would not require a lot of administrative work.
The code would need to be amended somewhat to have certified elevation of buildings
that might be in a flood zone and then the Building Official would have additional work
certifying materials. The city does not have a great deal of privately owned property;
however, there is a great deal of city owned property in the flood plain. This program
has been proposed to the city a couple times over the years and it hasn't been
adopted. La Shot stated he was not sure of all the reasons. There may be some
liability for the city and that information will need to be ascertained from the City
Attorney. La Shot stated he felt that the program will probably need to go to council
soon as result of the recent flooding. Bryson noted no questions from the
Commission.
b. Tract C, Daubenspeck Property Subdivision
Planning & Zoning Committee October 12, 1995
Minutes Page 7
Jack La Shot stated that one of the requests from the Commission had been whether
or not Department Heads had had an opportunity to review the lease request. La
Shot stated that Kim Howard noted in her memorandum that they had been informed.
In addition, the Parks and Rec Commission decided to wait for action from P&Z before
they acted. La Shot also noted the letter from the Daubenspecks states they do not
object to the potential use of the property.
Councilman Smalley noted that at the last meeting this item was discussed. After
looking through the minutes and talking with Councilman Bannock, there were a
couple questions. Those being as far as the arrangements with the Daubenspecks as
to what this land should be utilized for. Smalley stated the oil and gas rights on the
property and the revenue that is generated from those leases is what generates the
Parks and Rec fund. The revenue from the property, if it is sold or leased, goes into
the land bank account and can never be touched. The only part that can be touched
is the interest from the money as result of the sale or lease of said property.
Ron Goecke noted that during the last meeting's discussion that he and one or two
others did have a question about the corridor on Bridge Access. That there is in
excess of 1000' of frontage there. Goecke stated he felt that area could be utilized for
something better. Goecke recommends that the city withhold a section, such as 250
feet, along Bridge Access corridor for commercial development. Bryson asked if the
general number Goecke was referring to was in depth. Goecke confirmed. Karen
Mahurin asked if it was customary for the city to sell to someone because someone
asks to buy it as opposed to the city determining that property will be put up for sale.
Mahurin asks if this is the way the city does business.
Councilman Smalley stated yes and no. The city has property some of which has
already been identified for sale or lease. The city also has properties that have not
been listed as for sale or for lease. Individuals contact the city and state they would
like to pursue development and this contact starts the process.
Karen Mahurin noted that part of her concern was that this is a for -profit group on
property that was donated for the public good. Mahurin stated that she supports the
nursing home and condominiums, but that she is having a hard time with the process
and the fairness. This could be prime property. Mahurin questioned if we lock the city
into a buyer without advertising this as being for sale or investigate other proposals
that could benefit the city more.
Teresa Werner-Quade stated she shares Ms. Mahurin's concern. Noting that the
memo states the developer is interested in leasing and eventually purchasing the
proeprty. Wemer-Quade stated she doesn't have a problem with a possible lease but
may have a problem with them buying the land. Wemer-Quade stated that if she in
agreement that these people gain control of property and build on it, she is left
wondering what the eventual outcome will be.
Planning & Zoning Committee October 12, 1995
Minutes Page 8
Ron Goecke stated he doesn't have a problem if the city wants to lease property to a
profit -making organization or selling a piece of property to a profit -making organization.
However, he would like to see the corridor withheld along Bridge Access.
Phil Bryson stated this parcel was described as transferred in the shape that
Daubenspeck had owned the parcel. However, it makes very poor use of the frontage
and with the adjacent property along Frontage Road. If they acquired this parcel, they
would acquire a small frontage on the Frontage Road. The lot lines make a moderate
area undesirable for either the developer or the city that owns the adjacent parcel to
the west. The type of facility that is being proposed does not need prime road
frontage on a road to the city of Kenai is a major highway. Bryson stated he felt a
subdivision of that area might solve some of his concerns. He noted that he has no
problem with that area being commercial but it should be a beneficial concern to the
city not high density residential. Bryson also reminded the Commission that there is a
new road that has been constructed to the back side of this property that is paved.
Councilman Smalley brought attention to the letter to Mr. Graves, City Attorney, from
Mr. Daubenspeck noting Daubenspecks statement about not wanting to impose on the
city and that if the city felt this was the best use of the property, then so be it.
Continuing, he noted Daubenspeck stated letter could be considered as a notice to the
city that he placed no restrictions on the use of this property. Smalley stated he felt
the Commissions' comments were something the city may want to look at as far as
subdividing and changing this property.
Karen Mahurin asked if he was suggesting that there be a subdivision of the property
and this could change the property that would be available to this company.
Phil Bryson stated he felt the city should maximize the value of the frontage and the
value of the adjacent property.
Godek asked if the city owned the property to the west. Bryson confirmed this stating
commonly referred to as the FAA property. La Shot stated that due to the use of state
park funds in the past, that property has been dedicated in perpetuity to park lands.
That adds a slight complication to combining the properties. Discussion on what
property La Shot was describing. La Shot stated that the developers spent quite a bit
of time looking for property to develop. This property may be the right property in
terms of zoning codes. This is zoned for urban residential. La Shot noted that he did
not have his land use plan but he felt the land use plan might call it commercial. La
Shot stated the developers were trying to find something that would be acceptable to
the city. La Shot stated that if there wasn't this problem with the property to the north
that the whole piece might be better suited for development in the long term. Bryson
stated that they may be able to develop quite well the property toward the river that
had an elevation differential with the highway wherein a business couldn't make good
use of that land. Discussion to clarify which property Bryson was discussing. La Shot
stated he hasn't spoken with the developers to determine if they need the entire
parcel. Wemer-Quade asked about the Kenai Historic District Board and the piece of
property that they are using for the interpretive site. La Shot brought the groups
Planning & Zoning Committee October 12, 1995
Minutes Page 9
attention to the map which shows the church reservation which will be outside, the
parking area (where the scenic viewpoint and the interpretive site will be). The dark
line shows approximately where the parcel would be to keep control of that area and
the old city Quonset but area. La Shot stated there was nothing magic about the dark
line on the map. Bryson stated the area designated as church reservation is quasi -
public or quasi -private and they have rights and own the property. Mahurin stated that
is where the city is working with them to provide access and the parking area the city
has installed. Bryson asked La Shot where that left the Commission. La Shot asked
if the Commission could make a recommendation. Bryson asked if La Shot would
want to put together a recommendation incorporating the Commissions' comments for
the next meeting.
Smalley noted that the city is looking for the Commission to determine that the land is
suitable for sale/lease. La Shot noted now there are concerns about a commercial
strip and that should be considered. La Shot stated the Commission could state they
are recommending the property be made available for lease but keeping a certain
amount for potential commercial property. Carl Glick stated in the interim the city may
be able to find out how much property the developer requires. Goecke stated he felt
they would not want any access or frontage to the highway. Goecke added that if it
was for the elderly he would think the developer would want one street coming in from
a quiet end and no through connection at all. Goecke asked if the Commission could
withhold any action until next meeting. Smalley stated there is probably not a great
rush but would like to get activity started. Smalley stated that he felt with the
recommendation the body was making it would give La Shot direction to develop
something. Smalley stated he has not been told it needs to be taken care of at the
council's next meeting. La Shot stated he would find out information from the
developer about how much property they needed and if possible as that that they
attend the next meeting.
RON GOECKE MOVED THAT STAFF DEVELOP AN IDEA TO PRESENT TO
COUNCIL OR DEFER ACTION UNTIL NEXT MEETING.
Bryson stated he would interpret this as a motion to postpone action on this item.
Goecke agreed.
KAREN MAHURIN SECONDED THE MOTION.
MOTION PASSED BY UNANIMOUS CONSENT.
9. CODE ENFORCEMENT ITEMS
10. REPORTS
a. City Council
Councilman Smalley noted a copy of the council agenda in the Commissioners'
packets. He noted two students came from the High School representing the Junior
Planning & Zoning Committee October 12, 1995
Minutes Page 10
Achievement Program. They were with Kenaiopoly. The city purchased it's square at
half-price. Mr. Moore came to council with concerns regarding Cunningham Park and
signs. Moore requested signage on Beaver Loop approximately 500 feet either side of
the park so that tourists are better able to locate the park. In addition, he requested
clearing of the brush around the sign. He also requested a pay phone for the park.
The city investigated installing a pay phone and determined it would be too expensive.
In regards to 95-60 Kenai Peninsula Borough's Declaration of a Disaster area due to
recent storm, Smalley noted that at one time damage estimated at $10 million or
$10.8 million. Smalley suggested that getting disaster funds from D.C. will be
interesting due to the hurricane season. Smalley commented that the rotary snow
remover snow blower will be delivered in approximately 60 days. In addition, he noted
that the $84,447 is approximately $35,000 less than what was budgeted. Smalley
informed the Commission that the old fire truck has been removed from the surplus
item list and that the tank has been removed from the tanker truck and both will be
sold individually at the auction. Regarding the signage grant, the city did send a
memo stating interest in applying for the grant. The Rotary Club is working with
Townsite Historic Board on the signage project. Kenai Golf Course approached
council with a proposal for increasing green fees which was approved. Council
Person Monfor will officially swear in the oath of office to the new council members.
On October 18th there is a luncheon at the Senior Center and the council has been
invited.
Regarding the well, La Shot stated they city is waiting for screens. Full depth has
been reached. The well appears to be the same water -bearing strata that was in the
exploratory well. There is about 70 feet, screen size has been chosen. It is estimated
it will supply 1150 gallons/minute. The well is 420 feet.
Smalley continued stating the Mayor informed the council about meeting with Kenai
Peninsula Tourism Marketing Council. They had requested consideration donations.
Action was postponed. Discussion because RFP's went out across the state from
Corrections for halfway houses with the exception of Kenai. Waiting to see what will
happen in the City of Kenai because in the past this was not received positively. The
city is talking with the state about the feasibility of going into a revenue bond
relationship with the state to develop a halfway house on the Wildwood property which
is outside the city limits. This would be similar to the courthouse facility. The facility
would handle approximately 30 to 40 people. Smalley stated that before any decision
would be made a work session would be held with Planning & Zoning, Council, and
the public. No one at the council meeting is looking into the feasibility of a halfway
house within the city. The FAA informed the city they may need 1500 additional feet
of building space. The city is trying to determine what their needs are.
b. Borough Planning
Phil Bryson noted the agenda in the packet. A resolution classifying lands in the
Seward area had been before the Commission before. This borough property lies
along Exit Glacier Road and numerous requests have been received requesting this
property be made available for residential use. This area had both desirable land and
Planning & Zoning Committee October 12, 1995
Minutes Page 11
less desirable property on it. Any wet areas on the parcel will be identified by a
survey and classified as preservation and the other area be classified as residential
and ultimately sold by the borough. The Commission approved public hearings to
vacate: Kobuk Street in Soldotna for three foot on each side of the property; a five
foot pedestrian easement in Hideaway estates; Hemlock Circle replatting; and Rose
Street. Ten plats, which presents a significant increase, were considered.
c. Administration
La Shot noted the Commissioners received a copy of the Alaska Planning Handbook.
La Shot noted he was on the Kenai River Advisory Board and they have reconvened
for the winter and are in the process dividing into subcommittees. La Shot listed a few
of the committees. La Shot noted the meeting he had came from tonight was the
steering committee for the Kenai River Community Forum that is being coordinated by
the Nature Conservatory. La Shot noted he was surprised to find out how many
groups are involved in the Kenai River.
11. PERSONS PRESENT NOT SCHEDULED
12. INFORMATION ITEMS
13. COMMISSION COMMENTS & QUESTIONS
Wemer-Quade asked the group the status of the Comprehensive Plan. She stated
she did not think it had been finished and is not sure where the group left off.
La Shot stated he felt they had gotten pretty much through the review. He stated that
the review was taking place during the time Loretta Harvey was leaving and a decision
had been made to let Marilyn Kebschull get settled in as she would be doing the bulk
of the work. La Shot stated the Commission needs to go back and determine where
the group was with the project.
Glick apologized for being late. Stated he would like to be allowed to represent the
Planning Commission at the Municipal League in Valdez if the council had money for
travel. Bryson stated that commonly more than one person has gone in the past.
Smalley asked if there was a recommendation from the Commission of the number
that would like to attend. He noted that part of the problem is limited space in Valdez.
Glick stated that room space was not a problem. Bryson asked if anyone else would
have an interest in attending the meeting. Bryson and Mahurin stated Glick would
have their support. Smalley noted there are monies in incidentals and travel. La Shot
stated the Planning budget did not have much funding. Smalley asked La Shot to
pass the information onto the City Manager. Bryson stated he could gain access
through the Borough Planning Commission if he decided to go. Bryson advised staff
to consider this as a group consensus that Glick was recommended to represent the
group at the meeting.
Planning & Zoning Committee October 12, 1995
Minutes Page 12
Mahurin apologized for her earlier laughter stating that she thought the residents of a
senior center may not like having a dead end street. Mahurin noted she would like
the city to be cautious on the halfway house and to remember the concerns that were
brought up in the past such as transportation and employment. These are still
important issues. Mahurin informed the group that she will be returning from
Washington D.C. the day of the next meeting but will try to attend the meeting.

TO: Honorable Mayor John Williams and Kenai City
Councilmembers
From: Thomas J. Manninen, City Manager-1/4---
Date: October 13, 1995
RE: BUDGETING FOR PLANNING AND ZONING REPRESENTATIVE TO
ATTEND ALASKA MUNICIPAL LEAGUE MEETING IN VALDEZ
At the October 11, 1995 City Planning and Zoning meeting the
Planning and Zoning Commission recommended sending one of their
members, Carl Glick, to the Alaska Municipal League meeting in
Valdez as the Planning and Zoning representative. Also, they
requested City Council permission to reimburse expenses up to
$600.
The FY95-96 Planning and Zoning budget included $1,200 for
transportation and $1,060 for miscellaneous expenses; there is a
balance of $1,110 for transportation and $825 for miscellaneous
use expense, yet unexpended. The Planning and Zoning budgeted
travel for transportation did not anticipate or include Planning
and Zoning Commissioner travel.
However, if the City Council wishes to approve this Planning and
Zoning Commissioner travel, per this request by KMC 1.90.030,
please be advised that more than likely there will be a request
for additional Planning and Zoning travel funds prior to the end
of the fiscal year for travel and training that was originally
approved.
Thank you.

OTHERS PRESENT: Bob Frates of City of Kenai Parks & Recreation
Department; Marilyn Kebschull, Administrative Assistant
WORK SESSION DISCUSSION:
Leif Hansen Memorial Park Policies & Procedures:
General discussion on Leif Hansen Memorial Park policies and procedures.
Comments included: Determine on a case -by -case basis. A shame not to welcome
people. Memorial parks can also be used for a celebration of life. The tree damage
is more a result of moose and chipping may be caused by mowers. Suggestion to
allow use but encourage larger groups to use the facilities which can better
accommodate them.
Group consensus as recommendation to Parks and Recreation Commission was:
Recommend that the city continue to allow groups to use Leif Hansen Memorial Park
but recommend that larger groups use other park facilities which are better able to
accommodate them. In addition, tents and other items should be set up away from
the memorial plaques, shrubs, etc.
Review of 1995 Season:
Review of goals and objectives from 1995. These included: Banners and signage fro
Old Town area; flower beds and boxes in Old Town; information kiosk with hanging
planters for Old Town; participation in beautification awards with the Chamber; Clarion
and Dispatch articles regarding "Citizens for a Beautiful Kenai" theme; leanto structure
for early plant protection; task force for volunteer organizations; develop city owned
gulch areas for parks, green strips, or walking trails; utilize Dobenspeck properties for
recreation purposes; continue developing volunteer pool; and improve park frontages.
Chairperson Heft stated that as time had passed the group had realized that some
goals were not really in their area of expertise. In the future, plan for projects that the
group is able to accomplish.
Beautification Committee October 10, 1995
Work Session Minutes Page 1
Review of accomplishments for 1995: Volunteer orientation; 220 hours of planting by
volunteers using specified days and times; volunteer appreciation garden tour;
greenhouse purchase; nursery started; Chamber awards; Arbor Day tree planting;
changed meeting times; planted all bulbs from Lynden; and planted fall bulbs.
Objective for next year to have each volunteer track time spent so a full accounting of
volunteer time can be kept. Remove signs for Old Town from objectives as the
project has been taken over by Rotary and Historic District Board. Suggestion for next
year to prioritize goals and objectives.
Goals & Obiectives for 1996 Season:
Chairperson Heft suggested that the group brainstorm and in January bring ideas back
to the table to prioritize, define, and assign goals.
Linda Overtuff asked if the greenhouse be included in goals such as planting
seedlings?
Chairperson Heft listed her ideas: Garden tour pamphlet; library gardens; volunteer
program (tracking hours); development greenhouse/education for greenhouse use
including sending Bob Frates to Anchorage to meet with Anchorage greenhouse
employees to learn from them; and possibly redefinition of the committee to perhaps
changing to a gardening committee or club as opposed to an advisory to Parks & Rec
which is more in line with what the group does now. Discussion on the feasibility of
this change in focus. Unsure if the council would support the idea. Change would
make it possible for persons outside of the city to participate in group. Group
discussion about what change may mean. Bob Frates stated he felt it may be
possible to have both the Beautification Committee and a Garden Club. The club
would allow volunteers who did not want to participate in the meeting process. Stated
as a representative of Parks and Rec that the Beautification Committee very important
in providing direction and an added voice to the council. In addition, Bob feels the
Beautification Committee had a direct impact on the council funding the greenhouse.
Group could sponsor gardening meetings for those who are interested in learning
more. General discussion about possibility of having someone write down list of all
the plants and make that information available to the public. Suggestion that someone
may be available during activities in the parks to answer questions. Chairperson Heft
stated that it may be as simple as redefining the Beautification Committee's mission
statement in city code. Group stated they were unsure how they were even defined.
Request a copy of code be provided to the group in their January packets.
Bob Frates listed his ideas for next year. These were: Documenting volunteer hours;
flower garden brochures; Fire Department flower bed; face lift of the airport sign (plant
grass around sign); residential garden tour (Two ways to accomplish. One being a
moving sign which would travel to people's houses who wanted to participate. Or, a
stationery sign with a map and list of gardens people could tour.); more continuity with
the selection of flowers for boxes; and, the flower garden at the municipal park past
the Armory needs to be addressed.
Beautification Committee October 10, 1995
Work Session Minutes Page 2
General discussion on greenhouse. Bob Frates stated it was 24 X 36 feet, with heat
and water. It should be completed in approximately 3 weeks. This year the plan is to
start with plugs on a trial basis. Bob stated he hoped to have a five year plan and in
five years do what Anchorage does which is provide all of the city's flowers. The
police have donated confiscated grow lights, fans, buckets, pails, etc. Bob stated he
felt the boxes could be started in the greenhouse this year. Sue Hett asked if group
members would be able to go to the greenhouse and water or if that would be a
problem. Heft continued asking how the greenhouse would be operated. Frates
stated there would have to be a city employee present. Barb Nord stated that you
can't have two people watering at the same time.
Sue Heft informed the group that Tom Johns will be teaching a master gardening
course in the area. If interested, call him and let him know you are interested.
Tentatively scheduled during the day, one day a week. He can be contacted at the
Cooperative Extension Office under UAF in the phone book.
Bob Frates stated that the group may want to include in the goals is to keep in contact
with the Historic District Board to keep abreast of where they are in their planning.
Frates stated the Beautification Committee may be called upon to do some gardening
in that area. Sue Heft suggested inviting the HDB chair person to a meeting to brief
the group.
Discussion on source of good potting soil and plants that may need to be dug.
Theme for 1996 Season:
Chairperson Heft suggested that theme from last year be used. That was, "Citizens
for a Beautiful Kenai." Heft added that Merle Dean Feldman had a theme something
like, "Give one for the city." Past themes have been, "City of Roses and Lilacs." Bob
Frates suggested if interested in keeping the same theme, a statement could be
attached. "Come Grow With Us." This was used for the Alaska State Conference a
few years ago. Group consensus: "Citizens for a Beautiful Kenai, Come Grow With
Us."
Sylvia Johnson added that she felt the group should encourage early lighting,
Christmas lights, like Anchorage is doing.
ADJOURNMENT:
Meeting adjourned at approximately 6:50 p.m. Next meeting January 9, 1996.

RE: BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIP
As you are aware, the Beautification Committee has been very active in their work for
the last number of years. They seem to get a lot of work done with such small a
number! However, the membership of the committee is at five (5). Two of the people
who have been appointed do not live inside the city: I understood Linda Overturf to be
appointed even though council was aware she lived outside the city and Jeanene
Benedict moved out of the city after her appointment to the committee. Membership
qualifications are defined in KMC 1.90.030, as follows:
1.90.030 Oualifications: A member of a board, commission or committee
must be a resident of the City of Kenai, unless the board, commission or
committee is specifically exempted by Council from this requirement. The
member cannot be an officer or employee of the City of Kenai. If any
member should move his residence from the corporate limits of the City of
Kenai (if applicable), is an officer or employee of the City of Kenai, or
shall be elected or appointed as an officer or employee of the City of
Kenai, the service of such member shall terminate immediately. He should
be aware that he will serve without salary, but will be reimbursed for all
reasonable expenses incurred in connection with this service, only after
approval by Council. (emphasis added)
To my knowledge, there is no provision for "ad hoc" members to boards, commissions
and committees (other than council liaisons). The two members who live outside the city
attend meetings very regularly, but because they live outside the city, do not have voting
powers. It may serve the committee better (constituting quorums, etc.) and a lot less
confusing (who can vote, who can't, etc.) if council would allow a certain portion of its
membership to live outside the city.
DOES COUNCIL HAVE ANY DIRECTIVES?

ITEM B: SCHEDULED PUBLIC COMMENT
B-1. Sarah Hemphill and Andrea Stoltzfus - KCHS Jr.
Achievement Corporation/Kenaiopoly.
Ms. Hemphill and Stoltzfus introduced themselves and reported
they are seniors at the Kenai Central High School and members of
the Junior Achievement class. Hemphill and Stoltzfus explained
the Junior Achievement class was again selling advertisement
spaces on a Kenaiopoly game board as part of their project for
the year. They requested council purchase a square on the board
again this year, adding that since the city purchased a square
for $200 last year, this year's cost would only be $50.00. The
city would also receive a free game.
Councilman Smalley asked if the city did not purchase a square,
would that space remain empty. Hemphill/Stoltzfus answered no, a
picture of the high school would be placed in that spot.
A short discussion followed and the game board was shown to the
council. Hemphill/Stoltzfus also stated council could request a
different space than last year for their advertisement if they so
chose.
MOTION:
Councilman Smalley MOVED that the City of Kenai purchase a space
on the Junior Achievement Kenaiopoly game board for $50.00.
Councilwoman Monfor SECONDED the motion and Councilwoman Swarner
requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. There were no objections. SO
ORDERED.
B-2. Tom Moore - Signs at Cunningham Park
Mr. Moore introduced himself as residing at 2947 Beaver Loop Road
and stated he appreciated council adding him to the agenda.
Moore reminded council he and others came forward at a meeting in
the spring and requested a pay telephone, restrooms and signs be
placed at Cunningham Park. Moore stated he thought the restroom
looked good and asked if the telephone would be placed. Williams
explained placing a telephone was investigated and it was found
that the cost would be exorbitant (cost of the phone, plus cost
for damage, etc.). Moore stated he understood and agreed the
cost was too much.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
OCTOBER 4, 1995

Moore requested signs be placed along the roadway, approximately
500 feet from the Park entrance (on both sides of the road).
Moore added, the signs should also have an arrow, pointing to the
appropriate side of the road, informing travelers where the
driveway to the park was situated. Moore added, he has people in
campers turning around in his driveway all the time who have
missed the entrance, because it is hard to see the entrance to
the park.
Councilwoman Monfor asked if the signs could be placed by Public
Works. Kornelis stated he would have to get permission from the
State to place the signs, but did not think it would be a
problem. Kornelis stated there was a wooden sign at the
entrance. Moore stated that sign was too low and the fireweed
hid it from view.
Bookey added, in the spring, Ernie Knackstedt requested the
wooden sign be repaired. Bookey asked if that had been done.
Kornelis answered the sign had fallen down. It was replaced, but
evidently was placed too low. Kornelis added, his department
could place the 1150011' signs closer to the roadway and cut back
the weeds for the wooden sign.
Moore thanked council for their help.
ITEM C: PUBLIC HEARINGS
C-1. Ordinance No. 1666-95 - Increasing Estimated Revenues
and Appropriations by $60,000 in the General Fund for

MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.
C-2. Resolution No. 95-SS - Requesting a Grant from the
State of Alaska Under the FY97 Capital Matching Grant
Program.
MOTION:
Councilman Smalley MOVED for approval of Resolution No. 95-58 and
Councilman Measles SECONDED the motion and requested UNANIMOUS
CONSENT.
There were no public comments. Williams asked if the $211,000
was being requested in the next capital grant program. Kornelis
answered yes. Kornelis added, the city remained short in funds
to complete the project.
Williams referred to the memorandum included in the packet from
Ashley Reed who suggested getting the request information
together and meeting with the Governor early. Williams requested
Administration compile a total amount required to finish the
project so that information may be passed on to the Governor.
Council had no objections to Williams' request.
VOTE:
There were no objections to the motion. SO ORDERED.

MOTION:
Councilman Smalley MOVED for approval of Resolution No. 95-59 and
Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion.
There were no public comments. A short council discussion
followed in regard to the types of computer equipment purchased
for city offices. Councilman Bannock stated he thought the type
being purchased, amount, for the needs stated, was too much.
There was disagreement by some of the council. Williams stated
he discussed the matter with Kornelis because he had some of the
same concerns. The need was explained (using it for training,
daily work, etc.).

Councilwoman Monfor stated she believed it very important that
the employees have good equipment. If outdated equipment is
used, the city will probably receive workers' compensation
filings due to eye, neck and other injuries. Council should set
the policy and get the best type of equipment for the employee's
use. Monfor added, she believed it is an administrative
decision.
VOTE:
Councilman Smalley requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. There were no
objections. SO ORDERED.
C-4. Resolution No. 95-60 - Concurring with the State of
Alaska's and the Kenai Peninsula Borough's Declaration
of a Local Disaster Emergency Due to the Recent Storm
and Flood Emergency Events in the Kenai River
Watershed.
MOTION:
Councilman Smalley MOVED for approval of Resolution No. 95-60 and
Councilman Measles SECONDED the motion.
There were no public comments. Williams explained the resolution
was concurring with the declaration of disaster presented by the
Kenai Peninsula Borough. The resolution did not address the
issues of FEMA or flood insurance, etc. That would probably be
discussed a later time.
Williams added, he spoke with Mayor Gilman and he was very
insistent that the resolutions are done (by Peninsula
communities) so that the federal government will acknowledge the
damage and recovery. Gilman also had concerns about FEMA's flood
program.
Bookey asked what the dollar amount of damage was in the private
sector. Manninen answered (referring to the back-up information
attached to the resolution), the actual costs were submitted up
to the date of the memorandum (he thought September 27). As far
as the total cost, they did not have a total public/private cost
in Kenai. Statewide, he understood, was over $10 million public
and over $1 million private.
Other than what the day-to-day cost had been from the Fire,
Police and Public Works Departments, personnel, equipment and
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
OCTOBER 4, 1995
PAGE 6
materials, they didn't have a half -million dollar estimate. At
the time the estimates were made (in the back-up information),
the water had started to subside. They had not identified the
damage to the private property. Since then they received
requests from several private property owners for LID -type
assistance and information has been distributed to them.
To answer Bookey's question directly, Manninen stated, they did
not have a total cost. The purpose of the resolution was to
concur with the Borough's declaration of disaster emergency and
to make the city eligible for funding, if and when it became
available. If the city chooses not to, there probably wouldn't
be any funding in the 20th century for any damage.
Williams stated the figure placed by the management team for the
total flood damage was $10,800,000 and comments made by Mayor
Gilman were that it was not sufficient enough. The damage in the
Seward area alone would exceed $4 million to public facilities.
They don't know how much more because they may be needing some
dredging in the small boat harbor, the airport suffered damage
due to changing of the river bed, etc. For purposes of beginning
the flood recovery program, the Governor has set a figure of
$10,800,000.
Manninen added, to add to the scope of what the city's costs
might be if Corps of Engineers and FEMA approvals are received
for the things they are thinking about doing and have introduced
at meetings at the borough and at the state level. They are
talking about dredging the river, bank erosion control, and the
study of ten years ago estimated $25 million for the bank
stabilization. He added, he was not saying that amount would be
received, but there would be no chance of receiving it if the
resolution would not be passed (this resolution or a similar
resolution).
Manninen added, they have made it clear that dredging of the
river was important and stabilization of the bank was important
to Kenai for reimbursement for some of the costs that the city
has already incurred for infrastructure improvements, for storm
drainage especially after the city fixed them one time and had to
go back and do it again after the storm event is important, and
also the property owners that had property damaged, it's
important to make sure they are eligible for some kind of
assistance or reimbursement. Without the resolution, none of
that would be possible.

Williams noted that he and the city manager were available to
answer questions about the flood recovery as they had spent many
hours on the issue with FEMA, the Borough and the Governor's
office. Pictures were passed out which were of flood damage.
Williams added, the city did not suffer much home damage,
although there may be some on the horizon as some are near damage
due to bank erosion.
Williams added, he and the city manager would be meeting with
Senator Stevens and invited council to attend. They also met
with aides from Senator Murkowski and Representative Young's
offices last week.
VOTE:
There were no objections to the motion. 80 ORDERED.
C-5. Resolution No. 95-61 - Awarding the Bid for a "Rotary
Snow Remover" to Pacific North Equipment Co., for a
Total Amount of $84,447.17.
MOTION:
Councilman Bookey MOVED for approval of Resolution No. 95-61 and
Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion.
There were no public comments. Swarner asked when the snow
remover would be delivered. Kornelis stated he was not sure, but
thought in about 60 days. Bookey asked how big the unit was as
he thought it would be more costly. Kornelis answered it was a
big unit, but the bid came in lower than expected. He had
budgeted $40,000 more than needed for the equipment. Kornelis
added, there was only one bidder, but that specifications were
distributed to three companies.
VOTE:
There were no objections to the motion. 80 ORDERED.

OCTOBER 4, 1995

D-6. Planning & Zoning Commission
a. Daubenspeck Property - Councilman Bannock reported he
attended the meeting for Councilman Smalley. The minutes and
agenda were included in the packet. The Commission reviewed a
proposal by The Continuum Corporation (Leo Grasso) to use the
Daubenspeck property for the site of condominiums, part of the
assisted living complex. There was a long discussion as to
whether that building project would be the best use of the
property. They were concerned that project may not belong
fronting Bridge Access Road. The Commission moved to postpone
the action. It was his impression the question placed before
them was "should the city lease the property" and the Commission
was not willing to make that decision.
Bannock added it was apparent by a memorandum distributed to the
Commission, that The Continuum Corporation had contacted the
Daubenspecks in regard to the property. The Council gave some
direction to Grasso and said the property may not be able to be
used for such a project. The memo implied that Grasso contacted
the Daubenspecks. Bannock stated, another question was if the
lease took place, and because it is part of the Daubenspeck
property, would that be dedicated money to the recreational -type
activities for which the Daubenspeck property monies were set up.
Williams stated it was not Grasso that contacted the
Daubenspecks. It was the city attorney on behalf of the council
as there were concerns in regard to the original granting of the
property. After studying the document closely, it appeared that
it actually was in two parts. One, relative to the royalties
received from the property that would flow to the recreation
commission and the other in regard to the property that would
belong to the city. The city's concern was what could be done
with the property.
City Attorney Graves stated the council directed him to write the
Daubenspecks and ask whether the property could be leased. They
wrote back and stated they would release that property for any
use the council saw fit. Then Administrative Assistant Howard
wrote to the Planning & Zoning Commission and Parks & Recreation
Commission asking whether they wanted to declare the property not
needed for a public purpose.
Graves continued, regarding where the revenues would go, there
were two parts to the Daubenspeck donation. One was the oil and
gas royalties, which were dedicated to recreation and then the
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
OCTOBER 4, 1995
PAGE 11
land, which was given to the City of Kenai to be used for public
purpose. If the land would be sold, by Charter, the money would
go into the Land Bank Fund and only the interest could be used.
Bannock asked for a clarification; the gas and oil royalties was
the dedicated money for the recreational -type activities. Graves
answered yes. Bannock added, the sale of the land, funds
garnered would go into the Land Bank Fund. Williams added, sale
or lease of land. Graves confirmed.
Williams stated he noticed, in the minutes, there was a long
discussion as to whether this project would be the best use of
the property. Williams added, he thought that would come under
the purview of Planning & Zoning, but the area would not be used
for commercial purposes. There was, some time ago, thought the
property could be used for the site of a convention center, but
at looking at the amount of land there, there would be enough
property to place both buildings on the land.
Williams added, the city would have to wait and see what The
Continuum Corporation wanted to do. Also, there were other
considerations that may have to be given and discussed at a later
date.
b. Meeting Attendance- Bannock also reported there was
some discussion at the meeting in regard to attendance to the
meetings by the commission members. The discussion included who
should police the attendance. Councilman Smalley stated he
believed the council made the request to have the attendance
checks made and when absences reached a certain amount, by Code,
the council was obliged to do something.
Bannock stated some members of the Commission felt that those
notices were not getting to the council. City Clerk Freas stated
an attendance report was submitted to council some time ago and
no action was taken. Williams stated the policing of all
commissions and committees is done by the ordinance. Council has
the right to continue the appointment of any member at any time,
but it should be brought to the members' attention that the
person in violation of a city ordinance.
Bannock requested another attendance summary of all the
commission, committees and boards.

D-7. Miscellaneous Commissions and Committees
a. Kenai Visitors Bureau 6 Convention Center -
Councilwoman Monfor gave a short report about the activities of
the Center, stating the Center had approximately 70,095 people
through the counters through September, 1995. There were 2,305
visitors in September and 43 mail inquiries. Last September,
they had 208 mail inquiries and 3,741 visitors.
This year, the Center utilized volunteer help from June through
August, putting in over 400 hours of time. During the winter,
the Center plans to use 50 hours a month in volunteer help. The
Center would also be open seven days a week during the winter.
Hours of operation on Saturdays and Sundays will be from noon
until 5:00 p.m.
There were 27 meetings and conferences coordinated through the
Center which impacted approximately $2 million to the City (from
March, 1994 through September, 1995). There is a Kenai Cultural
Council, an arm of the Center's Board of Directors, which has
done a lot of work to get the Cultural Center more involved in
the community through workshops, movies, and already had the
museum review completed (work needing to be done). Also, the
Kenai Performers would be using the Center for presentations from
October 19-21, 26-27, 28. The KVCC is sponsoring the Performers'
use of the building.
Monfor also reported the Cultural Center received a collection of
ivory from around the state and a basket collection, new eagles,
a goat and additional animals.
Monfor added that the KVCC Director telephoned her and reported
that in meetings she was attending, they had determined from data
collected, tourism is the first largest growing industry in the
State, it's the second-largest private employer and the third
largest revenue generator in the State.
Monfor reminded council a new representative from the city will
be needed to take her place on the Board of Directors.
b. Historic District Board -
1. Meeting Time - Councilman Bannock referred to the
memorandum included in the packet in regard to the Board's

H-3. Discussion - Capital Improvement Project List
Williams reported the capital budget is to be prepared by the
Governor before the end of the year. The Governor may only be
allotted $20 million. Additional funding will go toward federal
matching grants. As he mentioned before, Ashley Reed suggested
the city putting together information as to exactly how much is
needed to complete the water quality/distribution project and
submit it to the Governor early.
Williams added, he would tell the Governor that the city has
requested funding for the project for three years and would like
to complete the project. Williams asked council to direct
administration to prepare a resolution with that information for
the October 19 meeting.
Kornelis stated he believed the needed amount to complete the
project would be $750,000. Williams stated he would like an
exact amount. Kornelis added, the city has submitted a request
for DEC matching funds also.
Williams asked if a back-up request should be made or just ask
for the water quality/distribution system request. Council was
comfortable with requesting only funding to complete the water
quality/distribution system project.
Williams requested administration prepare the resolution and he
will schedule a meeting with the Governor.
H-4. Discussion - Setting Date for Student Government Day
Williams referred to a memorandum included in the packet in which
December 6, 1995 meeting was suggested for the Student Government
Day. Williams stated he would just be returning from the
National League of Cities conference in Phoenix on that day.

Discussion followed. January 3, 1996 was suggested. Councilman
Smalley stated he would talk with the Government teacher in
regard to this date.
H-5. Discussion - Kenai Golf Course/Rate Increase.
Manninen requested the topic be added to the agenda at the
beginning of the meeting. Manninen explained the proposed rates
Mr. Morgan suggested raises the price for an 18-hole round to $17
on weekdays and $19 on weekends. For a nine -hole round on
weekdays at $6.00 and $10 weekends. Smalley noted Manninen
erred. Manninen corrected, stating $8.00 on weekdays and $10 on
weekends. Manninen added, it has been very inexpensive and it
still would be relatively inexpensive with the increase.
Manninen referred to Morgan's letter where it stated, that was
their intent and they feel they are underpriced and it was
intentional. They do not want to reduce the play because of the
cost.
Manninen continued, stating the Morgan letter gave prices for
Anchorage courses, Eagle Glen, Elmendorf, Moose Run, Palmer and
Kenai. From highest to lowest for weekdays were $10.50 less than
Anchorage and the next least expensive were $6.00 cheaper for 18
holes on the weekdays and nine holes it was $4.00 and as much as
$12. Correction, $14.00 without the increase.
MOTION:
Councilman Smalley MOVED for approval of the rate increases as
submitted for the Kenai Golf Course and Councilwoman Swarner
SECONDED the motion and requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. There were
no objections. SO ORDERED.
Smalley added, he has visited with many people who use the city's
and other golf courses. They are very pleased with the quality
of the Kenai Golf Course.
EXECUTIVE SESSION

PAGE 16
I-1. Mayor
a. Kenai Peninsula Tourism Marketing Council - Williams
referred to the letter from the Marketing Council which was added
to the agenda at the beginning of the meeting. The Council
requested a sponsorship donation for their Community Forum to be
held in Homer in October. Council reviewed the request.
Councilwoman Swarner suggested the request be discussed at budget
time. Council concurred.
BACK TO ITEM H-5:
Smalley explained, when he made his motion, he intended to
approve the rates as suggested in the Morgan letter (weekdays for
18 holes at $17 and weekends at $19; nine -hole on weekdays at
$8.00 and weekends at $10.00). Those figures were not the same
as on the rate card which was attached to the letter. Smalley
added, his motion was to approve the 18-hole weekday rate at
$17.00.
Councilman Measles noted there was a discrepancy in the rate
increases included in the letter and what was on the rate cards
attached to the letter (weekday rate for 18 holes).
Because all the other rate raises were one dollar, Measles
suggested the weekday rate for 18 holes was out of line from the
other rate raises (it was a $3.00 increase). Measles suggested
the motion needed to be reconsidered to concur with the rates as
stated on the 1996 rate card without reference to the memo
attached. If that was not right, the lessee could then come back
to council with the correct information.
MOTION TO RECONSIDER:
Councilman Measles MOVED for reconsideration of the motion to
approve the golf course rate increases and Councilman Smalley
SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED.
WITHDRAWAL OF MOTION:
Councilman Smalley stated he would withdraw his motion with
permission of council. There were no objections. SO ORDERED.

Councilman Measles suggested administration point out the
discrepancy with the lease holder.
RETURN TO I-1, Mayor's Report:
b. Alaska Commission on Aging - Williams requested council
to let the Clerk know if they planned to attend the lunch on
October 18 so she could RSVP.
C. City Information Manual - Williams requested council's
approval to have Administration compile a city information manual
which could be distributed to council/mayoral candidates, and
other interested in the city operation. The manual would list
individual department information (employees, department head,
rolling stock, operational budget), list of city -owned property,
where revenue comes from, etc. The manual could be on disk and
be updated periodically.
Monfor stated she had the same idea as it was evident during the
last election period that there were many citizens who were ill-
informed as to the functions of the city.
Williams added, the budget information for the manual could
consist of the one -line budget page from the annual budget.
Council had no objection for administration to compile the
manual.
d. Ballpark Restroom - Williams asked why the restrooms
would have electronic controls. Kornelis answered the fixtures
would be similar to those being placed at the airport. Council
approved the purchase of the fixtures about two months ago. The
fixtures at the dock are manual and there have been problems with
people not turning the water off, damage done to them, etc.
Kornelis continued, the controls for the fixtures would be behind
a mechanical case. They are battery operated which can be
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
OCTOBER 4, 1995
PAGE 18
changed over if necessary. The batteries are to last five years.
The Parks Department will replant the grass around the restroom
next spring.
e. Halfway Houses - Williams reported he received a
telephone call from the Department of Corrections in regard to
placing halfway houses in communities throughout the state.
Corrections has already put out RFP's for most of the areas but
are holding off for the Kenai area. They are wanting to discuss
the matter first with council.
Williams suggested their building a halfway house at Wildwood
near the prison. It would not be as costly and would keep people
out of the residential area. Williams added, he suggested the
city could bond on behalf of the Department to build the facility
on Wildwood and the State would decide who the operators would
be.
Williams added, he told Corrections he would have to speak with
council and the city attorney if the city could legally bond to
build a building outside the city and if it was something the
council would be interested in doing. The bonding would be
similar to how the city bonded to build the courthouse.
Attorney Graves stated he checked Title 29 and found that the
city can own land outside the city limits, as a part of
extraterritorial limits. However, the biggest step would be for
the bond counsel to approve the bonding.
Williams asked if council wanted to get involved and if so,
where. Measles stated he would not want to get involved with a
long-term lease with operators. Would they want to enter into a
long-term lease? Williams answered, yes. They could not exceed
$1 million a year without the approval from the Legislature.
Williams added, it is the State's decision not to enter into a
long-term contracts with the operators of the facilities.
Williams also stated he would want to make sure the city would
not be an operator of a halfway house.
Bookey stated he would not be comfortable entering into anything
that was situated outside the city. Williams stated, the
arrangement would be like that with the court house. The State
of Alaska would owe the money.
Bannock stated his first reaction was no because of the
opposition already shown in regard to placing halfway houses in
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
OCTOBER 4, 1995
PAGE 19
the city. He added, if the city does this, he believed the
public outcry would be worse. Williams stated that was why he
suggested the city bond for it. If the city doesn't do something
different, the State will send out RFP's. Bannock stated if an
RFP is put out, Planning & Zoning could say no. Williams stated
the halfway houses will happen, but with bonding to build one
outside the city, the city may have more control.
Bookey stated he believed it would be more acceptable to build a
halfway house at Wildwood. It has already been stated that
nobody wants these houses in their back yards. With having a
prison in the area, the halfway house is the next step.
Smalley stated he also had reservations. Halfway houses will be
built. There is a definite need. He would not want to see one
in the city limits. If the State offers a piece of the pie for a
minimal risk, he may be interested.
Williams stated he would talk with Corrections and ask if they
would like to make a presentation to council and discuss the
halfway house issue. If, after that discussion, council feels it
appropriate, the city attorney could discuss the matter with the
bond counsel and get his opinion.
Smalley asked if a work session would be appropriate. Williams
stated he thought first the council should talk with Corrections.
After that discussion, it may be appropriate to hold a work
session. It was added the Planning & Zoning Commission should be
included in any work session held on the matter.
e. state Parks Discussion - Williams reported he spoke
with Joy Bryant Dolsby at State Parks. She informed him the new
State Director was Jim Stratton. Dolsby also reported that she
has had discussions with Outdoor Lands about the Kenai Golf
Course property issue. He, City Attorney Graves and
Administrative Assistant Howard will meet with Dolsby in the near
future to discuss the matter more thoroughly.
f. Esther Wunnicke - Williams reported he met with
Commissioner Wunnicke during her recent visit to Kenai. He took
her to the KVCC and FAA building, etc. While at FAA, they
discussed the FAA's hope to make a 1,500 sq. ft. addition to the
Flight Service Station. At this time, FAA doesn't know where
they will get funding for the addition. Williams added, he
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
OCTOBER 4, 1995
PAGE 20
suggested the city and FAA representatives meet and discuss the
matter. There is a possibility the city could build the addition
from airport funds.
Williams asked council for permission to meet with FAA
representatives in regard to an addition to their building.
Council had no objections.
g. Bond Issues - Williams reminded council the EDD was to
do a feasibility study in regard to placing ice rinks at
different locations on the Peninsula. The study had not been
completed. He discussed the matter with EDD Director Steadman.
During the discussion, Williams suggested the study be completed
and forwarded to the city.
Williams stated he would like to get more information compiled
before putting the bond question out to the voters again. He
added, he believed there was a lack of information available and
the voters were mostly unaware. Williams also reported he spoke
with Assistant School Superintendent Dalgren and was told that
the School District was not aware the city was trying to get the
land from the Borough in order to use it for the ice rink site.
Williams suggested a packet of information be available the next
time, giving more information.
Williams added, he believed the Library had a lot to do before
bringing their request back to council for review. They need to
suggest a floor plan with reasonable needs. A full and complete
packet of information should be available for both issues for the
next election.
Swarner suggested the information be compiled from May through
August. Monfor suggested the wording of the proposition be
shortened and made more simple. The print was small on the
ballot and hard to read. Monfor added, those people advertising
against the propositions did not have correct information. Also,
the Parks & Recreation Commission were not asked for input on the
ice rink. They should be involved.
Smalley suggested the next time the bonds come up, the city
purchase space in the newspaper and print factual information.
He was also called by a Borough employee in regard to building
the ice rink on school district property.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES

Williams requested the city manager continue to pursue working
with the Borough to have the land transferred from the State to
the Borough for public purposes. Council had no objections.
I-2. City Manager
a. Property Acquisition - Manninen reported he received a
letter from the Kenai Peninsula Borough Planning Director Lisa
Parker, dated September 22. The letter stated the wellsite/fire
station land would take approximately six months to convey. The
Borough was in receipt of his August 24 request to convey the
lands in the vicinity of Beaver Creek and Kenai Spur Highway for
government public purposes.
In regard to the request to acquire lands from the State Mental
Health Lands Trust, the Kenai Peninsula Borough would discuss
that with the Mental Health Trust Land Unit and keep the city
abreast of the status of those discussions. Manninen added, the
lands being discussed were those by the school versus the
property on the Spur Highway for water well project.
b. Water Well - Manninen reported he received a letter
today. The city will be pursuing state permits for the water
well and pumping that are required of the city to be able to put
a well on line. That information will be given to the Public
Works Director in the morning.
C. Flood - Manninen reported since coming back from the
ICMA Conference in Denver he had been pretty much consumed with
the meetings and storm -related meetings. They are trying to get
the city's eligibility for reimbursement from FEMA, ADES for the
city's costs and potentially for infrastructure, storm drainage
and dredging, as well as for the private property homeowners'
damages.
Manninen added, he has also received a request for information
from two property owners for city LID and have given the city
information, the staff has several questions to ask before it is
ready to come back to council, if it does come to council, not
the least of which was whether it was for a public benefit or
public improvement or strictly for private improvement on private
property. That seems to be the first test and there will be
several more before it is ready to come to council.
They are aware of what's happening and are on top of it. As the
mayor said, there would be a meeting tomorrow with Senator
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
OCTOBER 4, 1995
PAGE 22
Stevens. There have been previous meetings with staff members of
Representative Young and Senator Murkowski. He has been trying
to provide them timely information on the city's damage related
to the whole flood situation and storm situation to get the city
eligible for any funding that might come down the pike.
d. Finance Director Position - Manninen reported Job
Service had closed the applications for the finance director
position. He has an interview team that will be looking over the
applications and scheduling interviews. More than likely, the
interviews will not start until the llth or 12th of October. He
will keep the council advised what's happening there as they go
along.
e. ICMA Conference - Manninen thanked council and staff
for allowing him to go and feeling comfortable going because the
fact that everyone just did their job and probably didn't notice
he was gone.
I-3. Attorney -
River Working Group - Attorney Graves reported there would
be another meeting of the River Working Group next week. They
will be discussing the inclusion, exclusion, and regulations for
the flood plain in the ordinance.
Williams stated he attended the last meeting and felt that the 14
members of the group were no closer to an answer than the nine
members of the previous committee. Graves stated that on some
items they has been agreement and then people think about it more
and then they don't agree. There are a lot of different
opinions, however everyone was trying to work it out. Graves
added, he did not know if there would be a unanimous solution.
Williams noted there was a lot of disagreement as to what
constitutes the flood plain, especially after the recent
flooding.
I-4. City Clerk - Freas reported the absentee and questioned
ballots would be counted on Tuesday, October 10 at 10:00 a.m.
There were approximately 85 ballots to be counted.
I-5. Finance Director - Acting Finance Director Feltman
stated the department was operating well. She was now required
to attend more meetings. She's learning a lot and is lucky to
have fellow employees who help out doing extra work.

I-6. Public Works Director
a. Water Well - Kornelis reported the water well had been
drilled to 425 feet. The evaluation was being completed for the
screen size. He asked the geophysical expert to take a second
look and he confirmed it.
b. Spur Highway/DOT - Kornelis referred Information Item
No. 7, a letter he wrote to DOT in regard to lights and pavement
at highway intersections. He also suggested the guardrails be
moved back so that the sidewalks in front of them can be plowed
for use. Kornelis added, he learned from a local fencing
contractor that the guardrails are not to code and he pointed
that out to DOT.
Councilwoman Monfor asked if it was too late to make changes in
water/sewer placement at Thompson Park. She was referring to a
fire hydrant which was placed in a driveway. Kornelis stated it
was too late. However, moving it will be reviewed again if the
road is paved. That's what the property owner was concerned
about.
Swarner stated she liked the letter Kornelis sent. Swarner asked
if the hole on the Spur Highway will be fixed (turning lane by
Rogers Road). Kornelis stated it probably would be.
Bannock asked about the purchase of the road grader approved
recently by council. Kornelis answered they had been working
with NC Machinery. The grader was purchased through a piggy -back
State bid. The bid price was for 29 graders and has now been
raised to 50. They have had different features removed from the
type bid to better accommodate the city's needs. The grader
should be received soon.
I-7. Airport Manager
Acting Airport Manager Holland reported Airport Manager Ernst
would be back to work by the next council meeting. Holland
thanked the Public Works and Street Departments for their help.

Councilmembers Bookey, Swarner, Measles, Bannock, Smalley and
Mayor Williams all thanked Councilmember Monfor for her years of
dedicated service to the City of Kenai. Congratulations were
also extended to Councilman Bookey for his re-election.
Councilwoman Monfor stated it was difficult to leave. Also, that
she was very proud to be a part of a governmental entity that has
done so much for the community. The city has moved ahead in a

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 eL
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 $130,0004160,000
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

Founded by the families of the Challenger crew,
Challenger Center uses space exploration as a theme
to.create a positive learning experience that raises
students' expectations of success; fosters in them
a long-term interest in math, science and technology;
and motivates them to pursue studies in these areas.
—Challenger Center Mission Statement
to learn, to explore, to inspire
On January 28,1986, the space shuttle Challenger took flight for the twenty-fifth space shuttle
mission. 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.

Memorandum
Date: September 14, 1995
To: Kenai Peninsula Municipal Coalition Members]
From: Seward City Clerk Linda Murphy
Subj: September Meeting Minutes, Tourism Issues, Etc.
Attached for your review are the following:
1. September 7, 1995, draft minutes
2. September 9, 1995, letter from Stan Steadman apologizing for missing meeting
3. Article from the May 1995 issue of Governing
Assemblymember Tim Navarre has suggested, and Mayor Crane agrees, that if the Coalition is to
see any results from its work on major issues such as tourism promotion, there needs to be a focused
effort by a committee which would make a commitment to meet and work on a particular project
several times between the regular quarterly meetings. To this end, Mayor Crane has asked that any
of you who are interested in working on the Peninsula Tourism Enhancement Committee contact
me within the next couple of weeks. On October 2nd, I will mail each committee member a list of
the names and addresses of the full committee. It will then be up to those serving on the committee
to arrange meetings and be prepared to report back to the Coalition at the December meeting. It is
anticipated that this committee's work will continue through the next six to nine months. If you are
interested in serving on the committee, call me at 907-2244045 or fax a reply to 907-224-4038.
LDon't forget to address the borough sales tax code with your city managers, finance officers and city
ouncils prior to the December 7th Coalition Meeting. At that time, each municipality should be
epared to suggest modifications to the code for consideration by the borough assembly. We hope
come to some consensus at that meeting so that an ordinance amending the code can be draftedd receive the support of each community on the Peninsula. If you need additional copies of theles tax code, contact Borough Clerk Gaye Vaughan.

— Escaped assessments.
A. A seller may file an amended return with the borough, and the borough may accept the
amended return, but only in the following circumstances:
1. The amended return is filed within one year of the original due date for the return;
and
2. The seller provides justification in writing for requesting approval of the amended
return; and
3. The seller was registered to collect sales tax during the period for which the amended
return is filed and filed an original return for that period; and
4. The seller agrees to submit to an audit upon request of the borough.
B. If the borough rejects an amended return, it shall give written notice to a seller, including
the reason for the rejection.
C. The borough may adjust a return for a seller if, after investigation, the borough
determines that the figures included in the original returns are incorrect, and that additional sales
taxes are due; and the borough adjusts the return within three years of the original due date for
the return. (Ord. 94-27 § 16, 1994).
5.18.560. Returns/records/audit — Records — Seller recordkeeping required — Loss of

suitable records of sales for a period of 3 years from the date of the return reporting such sales,
and shall preserve for a period of 3 years all invoices of goods and merchandise purchased for
resale, and all such other books, invoices and records as may be necessary to accurately
determine the amount of taxes which the seller was obliged to collect under this chapter.
B. A seller shall immediately notify the borough of any fire, theft or other casualty which
prevents his or her compliance with this chapter. The casualty constitutes a defense to any
penalty provided in this chapter if determined to be the proximate cause of the failure to comply
for a given reporting period, but does not excuse the seller from liability for taxes due.
Accidental loss of funds or records is not a defense against the penalties of this chapter. (Ord.
94-27 § 17, 1994; Ord. 90-48 § 1(part), 1990; Ord. 88-40 §22, 1988; Ord. 84-74 § 1(part), 1985).

all relevant business records, in order to determine whether the seller has complied with this
chapter.
B. A seller required to register for sales tax collection under this chapter consents to the
inspection of the seller's federal income tax returns in order to determine the seller's compliance
with this chapter.

C. If the borough is unable to ascertain the amount of tax due from a seller because the
seller has failed to keep accurate records, has failed or refused to allow an audit or inspection
of records, has failed to file a return, has falsified records or, has improperly calculated the tax,
then the borough may estimate the tax due based upon any information available to it. The
borough shall send a written notice of the estimated tax due to the seller, and of the assessment
of an audit estimate fee.
D. The results of any examination or audit performed under this section shall be reported
in writing to the seller. (Ord. 94-27 § 18, 1994: Ord. 90-48 § I (part), 1990; Ord. 84-74 § 1(part),

A. If the seller wishes to dispute the amount of the estimate, or the results of an examination
or audit, the seller must file a protest with the borough, within 30 days of the date of the notice
of estimated tax or results of an audit or examination. The protest must set forth:
1. the seller's justification for reducing or increasing the estimated tax amount, including
any missing sales tax returns for the periods estimated; or
2. the seller's reasons for challenging the examination or audit results.
B. In processing the protest, the borough may hold an informal meeting or hearing with the
seller, either on its own or upon request of the seller, and may also require that the seller submit
to an audit.

and mail a copy of the determination to the seller. (Ord. 94-27 § 19, 1994: Ord. 90-48 § I (part),
1990; Ord. 88-40 §5, 1988; Ord. 84-74 §1(part), 1985).
5.18.600. Enforcement — Civil and criminal actions — Payment agreements — Joint bank
accounts — Offset.
A. Nothing in this chapter shall be construed as preventing the borough from filing and
maintaining an action at law to recover any taxes, penalties, interest, and fees due from a seller.
Failure to register under this chapter or to collect taxes which otherwise should have been
collected under this chapter shall not be a defense to an action by the borough against such seller
to recover all amounts due. Each act prohibited in this chapter constitutes a separate cause of
action or offense.
B. The mayor may enter into an agreement secured by a confession of judgment or a deed
of trust on property with sufficient equity to cover the liability for delinquent sales taxes on such
payment terms as the administration finds reasonable, provided that the terms shall require full
payment of all obligations of the seller within a maximum period of 24 months from entry of
such an agreement, unless a shorter term is required by other provisions of this code, in which
case those provisions shall be followed. The mayor shall not enter into a repayment agreement
with a seller who has been involved in a repayment agreement within the prior five (5) years,
unless otherwise provided in this code.
C. All businesses or owners of businesses against which the borough has an outstanding
judgment may be required by the mayor to deposit sales tax monies collected, on a weekly basis,

C. Any seller who fails to file a return required under this chapter within fifteen (15) days

each return not filed, in addition to any penalty for late filing.
D. Sellers who have not filed returns for two (2) consecutive reporting periods shall be
assumed to have ceased conducting business and shall be removed from the roll of active

TO: Mayor John Williams and the Kenai City Council
FROM:(J2 4 Cary R. Graves, City Attorney
DATE: October 13, 1995
RE: Dissolution of the Kenai Development Corporation
In the 1960's the City donated land to the Kenai Development Corporation. In return, the City
received 20,000 shares in the corporation. The corporation has been relatively inactive for a
number of years and now is in the process of dissolving. Jim Arness is handling the dissolution.
Because of the passage of time, a number of shareholders have lost their certificates. The
whereabouts of other shareholders are apparently unknown. My understanding is that most of
the known shareholders are in favor of dissolution. Since the City is a major shareholder,
Mr. Arness wants to know if the City is in favor of dissolution. If the City is opposed to
dissolution, Mr. Arness indicated he would have to come up with an alternate way of winding
down the corporation.
Mr. Arness estimated the City would receive about $80,000 upon dissolution. Does the City
Council approve the idea of dissolving the Kenai Development Corporation?

Date: October 12, 1995
RE: Tidelands Classified for Leasing
As you are aware, the City received a letter from Kendall and Thad Carlson requesting
to lease tidelands they have historically fished. Council discussed this issue at their
September 6 meeting and directed the administration to proceed with having the area
classified as available for leasing.
The area is described as:
City of Kenai Shore Fishery Lease No. 1
A certain parcel of tideland within a portion of Section 26, Township 6
North, Range 12 West, Seward Meridian, Alaska lying west of the mean
high water line within Tideland Patent 20598, City of Kenai, described as
follows:
Commencing at the 1/4 witness corner meander corner common to Sections
23 and 26, Township 6 North, Range 12 West, Seward Meridian, Alaska:
monumented by a 21/2" brass cap monument;
Thence SOUTH 89°56'01" West 358.50 feet along the Kenai City Limits to
the 1988 Mean High Water Line of the Cook Inlet, the POINT OF
BEGINNING for this description;
Thence SOUTH 89°56'01" WEST 1427.40 feet along the Kenai City Limits;
Thence SOUTH 18°27'01" EAST 1293.73 feet;
Thence SOUTH 69°19'03" WEST 148.62 feet;

Thence NORTH 16000'13" WEST 1392.35 feet along the mean high water
line of the Cook Inlet to the POINT OF BEGINNING of this parcel.
KMC 11.20.040, Classification Prior to Lease Required provides:
Before accepting applications to lease tidelands, the area involved shall
have first been classified for leasing by the City Council with the approval
of the Advisory Planning and Harbor Commissions, and their availability
advertised in a newspaper of general circulation in the area once each
week for two successive weeks, not less than thirty (30) days prior to the
time set for the closing of the acceptance of applications, and that all
applications are available for public inspection at the City Hall offices.
(Ord. 532)
At this time, approval of leasing these tidelands is requested, not approval of any specific
applications. Applications will be taken at a later date and any applications will be
returned to the commissions and council for final approval.
The Harbor Commission and the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended the
above -described tidelands be made available for lease. Does the City Council wish to
classify the above -described tidelands available for lease?

SUBJECT: New Scarifier Belly Blade for Street Sand Truck
FOR: City Council meeting of 10/19/95 - Discussion
The Street Department is in need of a new scarifier belly blade for the street sand truck.
Please see Mark Johansen's memo to me dated October 11, 1995, the Monroe Scraper
literature with a price quote of $8,249.00, and the city's purchase order, all of which are
attached.
The loader mounted snow blower we just purchased cost only $84,447, while we had
$135,000 in the budget. Therefore, no transfer or change in the budget is needed since
the Streets M&E account has enough in it to cover this cost.
If the Council decides to approve the purchase of this scarifier belly blade, all they need
to do is approve council item H-2 which is the list of the purchase orders over $2,500.

DATE: October 11, 1995
SUBJECT: Purchase of new Scarifier (belly blade) for Street Sand Truck
The Root belly blade we have now is a snow plow blade and not a scarifier blade. This
implement has little or no down pressure and is not adequate for our needs. The Street
Department is in need of a belly blade on our sand truck that will apply heavy down
pressure so we can scarifier the ice pack on our streets as we are sanding. This will cut
grooves in the ice to improve traction and help hold the sand on the roads. The attached
information is similar to the belly blade on our Oshkosh Airport sander. This blade has
proven itself in past years to be an outstanding scarifier blade. I believe with this
implement, the Street Department can do a better job of maintaining our streets for public
safety.

SUBJECT: Production Well No. 3
As you can see from the attached Field Report and letter, Kraxberger Drilling has had a
problem with the production well he is drilling for the city.
We have abandoned the well and Kraxberger is filling the hole with bentonite. He has
lost the screen and most of the casing. Apparently, a bad weld broke loose.
Kraxberger is moving over 20 feet and starting over to drill this 420 foot well. He has to
purchase new well casing and screen which will be at his cost.
I recommend giving Kraxberger a 60 day time extension. This will extend the
completion of the project until December 13, 1995.

Yesterday I reported to you that Kraxberger Drilling has encountered a problem with
Production Well No. 3. Apparently, a weld in the well casing broke when they were pulling
back the casing to expose the well screen. Due to this problem, Kraxberger said that they will
have to abandon the well. They are currently trying to salvage the well screen and they
believe that they will be able to salvage approximately 180'-200' of well casing.
Rick Kraxberger said that he thought that if he ordered additional casing today to replace that
which will be lost, it would arrive here in about one month. If he waited until then to begin
drilling a new well, the work would be taking place during November/December when it will
likely be very cold, resulting in inefficient drilling operations and extra wear and tear on
equipment. As a result he has asked informally for a time extension that would allow him to
delay redrilling the well until next spring.
I called various pipe suppliers and found out that as of today there is 40' of 12" x .375 wall
pipe in Soldotna and 120' in Anchorage. Additional pipe can be obtained from Portland,
Oregon in about 10 days if ordered this week (the ship sails on Saturday).
If the drilling is delayed until next spring, the design of the well house will be delayed and,
consequently, I believe it will set back construction of the well house for another year. The
current completion date is October 13, 1995. I recommend that the City grant a 60 day time
extension to Kraxberger Drilling as required to continue drilling and complete the well this
fall. This will allow design and construction of the wellhouse to be kept on schedule.
Sincerely,

Onsite 3:30 PM - Kraxberger Drilling is pulling drill stem. Rick Kraxberger said that 80'
screen has been set, but that he has encountered a problem. Gravel is coming up with the
drill stem. Rick Kraxberger thinks that the 12" well casing broke at a weld when they
were pulling back the well casing. If so, the well may have to be abandoned. He asked if
a time extension would then be possible. I said that I thought it would be possible to get a
time extension if necessary to re -drill the well. Will talk to Rick Kraxberger tomorrow to
confirm if weld is broken.

RE: Lot 1. Block 1. GAA
Dear Mr. Snider:
It has come to our attention that 24 drums are being stored on the leased premises described
above. They are along the fence line at the south edge of the property. A map (not to scale)
is attached for your reference. Some of the drums are crushed and turned over; others are full
of liquid. An oily substance permeates the soil to an area approximately two feet around the
perimeter of the storage. The City is very concerned that environmental contamination may have
occurred on the property.
As lessee of the property, you are responsible for such contamination. The City expects you to
take prompt action to remedy this situation, including remediation of the site if necessary. If no
such action is forthcoming, the City will take whatever legal action is necessary to require the
property to be cleaned up.
Very truly yours,
CITY OF KENAI

RE: PRESIDENT CLINTON'S DECLARATION OF A MAJOR DISASTER
RESULTING FROM SEVERE STORMS AND FLOODING ON SEPTEM
18, 1995 AND CONTINUING; STATE OF ALASKA/KENAI
PENINSULA BOROUGH
President Clinton declared a major disaster under the "Stafford
Act." The effective date is September 18. 1995. The amount of
federal funds under the Stafford Act for Public Assistance or
Hazard Mitigation will be limited to 75% OF THE TOTAL ELIGIBLE
COST.
This is good news and bad news as the City of Kenai was hoping to
get the effective date earlier in September, about the 7th or
loth of September; however, we still have eligible/reimbursable
costs for both public infrastructure repair and/or replacement of
disaster damage public storm drainage facilities as well as
public parking areas with the declaration starting September 18,
1995.
By copying the city department heads, I am requesting them to
make the appropriate documentation changes effective September
18, 1995 for the Public Assistance and Hazard Mitigation
Assistance in the City of Kenai due to the severe storm and
flooding per the incident beginning September 18, 1995 and
continuing.

MEMORANDUM
To: Kenai Mayor/City Council
From: Thomas J. Manninen, City Manager
Date: October 17, 1995
RE: 1995 Storm/Flood Disaster File
FEMA Meeting; Disaster - Eligibility; DSR's
At a October 17, 1995 FEMA meeting at the Kenai Peninsula
Borough, with FEMA representatives (Barry, Trill and Bill),
reimbursement eligibility was discussed, i.e. whether only
overtime actually worked in the Fire Department was eligible for
FEMA reimbursement or whether the department's straight time for
firefighters working on HAZMAT/debris recovery at the dock and on
the boat was eligible for reimbursement. It was decided by the
FEMA representatives that the City's overtime was eligible for
reimbursement with all the fringes included, regardless of
whether overtime was worked on the Kenai River removing debris or
HAZMAT materials or whether overtime was spent in the fire
station covering regular duty for the firefighting personnel that
were working straight time doing the actual debris work at the
dock/harbor or on the boats on the Kenai River. The City of
Kenai representatives requested this to be clarified before
applying Fall 195 storm/flood reimbursements. FEMA said this
overtime was part of the emergency response of the City of Kenai.
Also, the City's HAZMAT response for FEMA emergency reimbursement
eligibility covers overtime, not regular straight -time hours.
Therefore, those City personnel called in on overtime to the fire
station during this emergency event will have their time eligible
for reimbursement to the City of Kenai by FEMA. The City will
need to file proper documentation. The Police and Fire Chiefs,
Acting Finance Director, Public Works Director and City Manager
attended this meeting. The documentation will be provided to
FEMA and the KPB Emergency Services Coordinator.
Also, according to FEMA representatives, the City of Kenai's
Public Works Department is eligible for "non -emergency"
reimbursement for the storm drain repairs to the area on top of
the Beluga Campground bluff area for the storm event starting
September 10, 1995 through October 10, 1995. Also, if any
additional storm -related storm drain damage is caused, the City
of Kenai would have up to one year to make the corrective repairs
to the storm system and to bill FEMA for these costs.
Part (10%) of the eligible storm reimbursement of 75% up to 10
million dollars is set aside for "mitigation" efforts. This 10%
of mitigation efforts would be eligible to be applied to long
term efforts at preventing the recurrence of such an emergency in
the future. I questioned whether this would mean that the Kenai
Peninsula Borough would be eligible to get federal monies from
this 10% "mitigation" set -aside to do long term planning for
zoning, permits, setback and floodplain management in the area
along the Kenai River that was damaged in this flood. FEMA
representative, Bill Trough, said this would be an eligible
amount for funding from the 10% mitigation set -aside.

Calls for police services through September 30, 1995 have increased
slightly over last year. Reported crimes have increased
approximately 2.5% over 1994 (see attachment). Juvenile arrests
have remained the same.
Traffic accidents have increased 12% over 1994 but related injuries
are down 12%.
The Youth Services Officer began teaching the D.A.R.E. program this
month at the Kenai Middle School. This program builds upon the
D.A.R.E. instruction given at the 5th grade level. It consists of
ten one hour lessons addressing drugs, violence, conflict
resolution, vandalism and consequences.
In response to citizen interest a Neighborhood Watch Program was
started in the Mt. View Elementary school area. Approximately 20
families attended the first meeting in September. Two officers
explained the program which included crime prevention measures
neighbors can take to lower their chances of becoming victims.

NEWS RELEASE
Number 95-07
FROM: Bonnie Golden, Assistant to Borough Mayor
DATE: October 5, 1995 - For immediate release
MAYOR PROPOSES TAX RELIEF
FOR FLOOD VICTIMS
Kenai Peninsula Borough Mayor Don Gilman is proposing to provide tax relief to victims
of the recent flooding. In response to inquiries from flood victims, Mayor Gilman will be asking
the Borough Assembly to adopt a resolution at its next meeting. The resolution, if adopted, will
allow the Borough to reassess properties damaged or destroyed by flooding. Property owners
will need to complete an application asking for reassessment of their property. Damages must
exceed $1,000 in order for property owners to qualify for relief, Properties that qualify for relief
will receive a reduction in the amount of taxes levied for 1995. Taxes owed will be determined
on a pro rata basis, with the reduction applied from September 21, 1995, to the end of the year.
Mayor Gilman is requesting the resolution be considered by the Assembly at its meeting
on Tuesday, October 10th. If adopted, the Borough would be able to conduct reassessments
along with damage assessments currently being conducted. Applications for disaster relief will
be available at the Borough Assessor's office and at the Disaster Assistance Center. Notices of
the availability of this tax relief, if passed, will be published in local newspapers.
Alaska state law allows for local municipalities to provide for reassessment and reduction
of property taxes for property that has been destroyed or damaged due to a natural disaster.
The law is applicable only after a disaster has been declared by the Governor or by the
President of the United States. The Borough adopted a similar resolution after the flooding in
1986.

Honorable Senator Stevens
United States Senate
RE: City of Kenai's Request for Storm/Flood Damage Assistance --
Fall 1995
On behalf of the City of Kenai's citizens, I wish to thank you
for your personal concern by visiting Kenai. The Kenai City
Council concurred with the State of Alaska's and Kenai Peninsula
Borough's declaration of a local disaster emergency last evening,
October 4, 1995 (see attached Resolution 95-60).
The City has a three -pronged request for federal assistance:
1. TO ASSIST PRIVATE PROPERTY OWNERS IN MAKING THEM WHOLE
FROM DAMAGES CAUSED BY THE STORM/FLOOD EMERGENCY EVENTS
IN THE RECENT KENAI RIVER DISASTER (SEE COLOR PHOTOS).
2. TO MITIGATE THE STORM/FLOOD EVENTS, SILTATION AND
SEDIMENTATION (SEE THE ATTACHED TAMS ENGINEERS NOVEMBER
1982 STUDY ENTITLED "CITY OF KENAI BLUFF EROSION STUDY
DRAFT REPORT"). This TAMS study addressed both bluff
erosion and sedimentation studies in the City of Kenai
in 1982. The cost for remedial measure in 1982 dollars
ranged from, and included, a collector drain at
$188,000; a cut-off wall estimated at $549,000; a cut-
off wall estimated at $1,183,000 cost. The three above
mentioned measures were remedial measures to provide
alternative drainage systems. Other measures, to
provide for stabilization of the Kenai River bluff
erosion included an alternative for stabilization of
the toe, sheet piling, bulkhead and roadway, costing
$23,093,000, to a rubble -mound bund and roadway with
"antifer" blocks costing approximately $25,596,000, to
a rubble -mound bund with no roadway, amount to
$26,626,000.
CLEARLY, THE CITY OF KENAI'S BLUFF EROSION PROBLEMS
HAVE BEEN ACCELERATED BY THE RECENT FALL 1995
STORM/FLOOD EVENTS IN THE KENAI RIVER WATERSHED.
Kenai is requesting your assistance expediting Corps of
Engineer technical and construction assistance along
with any other federal assistance to remediate Kenai's
bluff erosion/sedimentation problem.
3. THE CITY OF KENAI IS CONCERNED ABOUT THE NEED FOR
DREDGING FROM THE MOUTH OF THE KENAI TO THE CITY'S
HARBOR BOAT DOCK AND POSSIBLY TO THE WARREN AMES
BRIDGE. (SEE THE ATTACHED PHOTOGRAPHS, CITY OF KENAI
FLOOD TAPE AND DOCUMENTATION OF REMEDIATION EFFORTS
TAKEN BY THE CITY OF KENAI.)
Your help and statesmanship could not be more timely.
Sincerely,
John J. Williams
Mayor

Page 19 of this report (table 4-7) is a cost evaluation summary for the methods
evaluated.
The City of Kenai has chosen alternative no. 3, which will change our method of
disinfection to hypochlorination and dechlorination with bisulfite. It is my understanding
that by switching to this method of disinfection the City of Kenai will not be required to
have a Process Safety Management Program nor a Risk Management Program.
The City of Kenai has already contracted with Vasey Engineering to perform the
engineering design work and complete the bid documents. They hope to submit the final
plans and specifications to the city by November 3, 1995.

The City of Kenai requests a time extension to April 2. 1996 to comely with OSHA
Inaction No. 124076597. We plan to comply by removing the 1 ton cylinders of gas
chlorine and sulfur dioxide, thus removing the PSM and other safety concerns listed in
the citation. Disinfection will then take place using hypochlorination and dechlorination
with bisulfite. If you know of any OSHA or other safety concerns in using these chemicals
please let me know so that I can pass this information on to our consulting engineers.

Re: Land and Water Conservation Fund Grant Program (LWCF)
y
Dear LWCF Applicants:
As you are aware, your community submitted a preliminary application for FY'96 Land and
Water Conservation Fund monies. Unfortunately, as of this date, it appears there will be no
money in the federal budget for this program. (Please see the additional correspondence in
this mailing which addresses this issue.)
We will retain all applications for FY'96 assistance on the chance funding is reinstated for
this year. If the program is not funded for FY'96, you may re -submit your application -
updated at required - during the next funding cycle in which funds are available.
We will keep you posted as to the status of the program. In the mean time, thanks for your
continued support for LWCF.
Sincerely,
Joy Bryan-Dolsby

TO: Sponsors and Potential Applicants for Outdoor Recreation Funding Assistance -
Land and Water Conservation Fund Program
RE: Congressional Action on the 1996 Land and Water Conservation Fund Appropriation
The Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) program has provided more than $27 million
to state agencies and local communities to assist in the acquisition of land and development of
outdoor recreation facilities within Alaska. Unfortunately, on August 9, 1995 the Senate voted
not to fund the annual aargonriations for the oroeram. This was a critical blow to the program
since the House of Representatives also voted not to fund thtmr== in their budget committee
hearings. —As AA a result of f the Senate and House actions, we anticipate that funding will not be `„�,.
available for those sponsors who applied for funding assistance in 1996.__
Although funding looks dismal for 1996, we believe there is a good possibility that Congress will
restore funding in 1997 if they hear from constituents and those governments and organizations
that benefit from LWCF assistance. Essentially, restoration of funding rests with those
constituents who realize the physical and mental benefits of having an outdoor recreation project
in or near their community.
Enclosed is an address list for Alaska's Congressional delegation should you wish to express
your views on continued funding for the program, the positive aspects of the program, and what
continued funding could mean for both your community and park users. Also, we are including
some historical information on how the LWCF dollars have been allocated to develop outdoor
recreation projects within Alaska. Perhaps a statewide groundswell of support will provide
sufficient impetus for our Congressional delegation to actively pursue reinstatement of funding
in 1997.
Please call me at 762-2609 if you have any questions or need information about the Land and
Water Conservation Program in Alaska.

RE: ICE RINK FEASIBILITY STUDY
At their regular meeting of October 4, 1995, I discussed with council our conversation in
regard to the feasibility study your office started considering the placement and
operation of an ice rink in the Kenai area.
Council concurred with me that we would like your office to complete the study and
forward your findings to the City Clerk by April 1, 1996. The study will then be included
in a council packet for review.
Property adjacent to the Kenai Central High School remains the proposed site selection.
Our administration will continue its work with the Borough for their receipt of ownership
of the property from the State.
If you have any questions, please contact me.

of Counties Conference in Atlanta.
Attendance at the 45th Local
Government Conference Shows Municipal
Cooperation and Solidarity
AML President Donald Long states. "Our municipalities are at a crossroads in the
history of Alaska. The state is in the process of making structural changes to the way
state government operates. If municicalities sit back or act only in their own interest.
the people in our communities may suffer. Now is the time bring ail municipalities
together and forge a stable and procuctive future forour state and our communities."
The 45th Annual Local Government Conference will include:
• Keynote presentations on the proposed Alaska Long Range Financial Plan
by Lt. Governor Fran Ulmer and Long Range Financial Planning Commis-
sion Chair Brian Rogers:
• Consideration of significant revisions to the AML Policy Statement proposed
by the AML Legislative Committee:
• Workshops on critical municipal issues like the "takings bill". which could
end the ability of local governments to make land use decisions for the benefit
of the community;
• Presentation of the Alaska Conference of Mayors proposal to reauthorize and
stabilize funding to our communities from the state (currently the Munici-
pal Assistance and Revenue Sharing Programsi, and :
• discussion of the Local Government Partnership Council proposed to
create a forum to bring municipalities "to the table' to negotiate state service
and revenue transfers as part cf the Long Range Financial Plan.
"A large showing of municipal officials from every corner of the state is needed to
show state leaders that Alaskan municipalities are united and strong. Just as the
people of my community unite to hunt a whale. the municipalities of Alaska must
unite. Even though the whale is mucn more powerful than any one of us individually.
when we work together, we are successful." said Mayor Long.

AML/ACoM Efforts
With Long Range
Financial Planning
Commission Pay Off
The Long Range Financial Planning
Commission previewed its recommen-
cations to the Governor and legislature
on scheduie on October 1.
The major recommendations of the
Commission to close the fiscal gap are:
• Increase the flow of revenue into
the Permanent Fund and use it as an
endowment to support state services.
The Permanent Fund Dividend would
be cut $50 million each ofthreeyears.
then maintained at that level. Indi-
vidual dividends would be maintained
at about S630.
• Cut the state operating budget
S100 million over three years while
absorbing the cost of inflation and
population growth.
• Diversify state revenues by: in-
creasing alcohol, tobacco, fuel taxes:
increasing vehicle registration fees:
increasing revenues from tourism
and fisheries: and, increasing other
userfees.
• Re -impose an income tax in the
Year 2002 at one half the rate when it
was repealed in 1979.
The preview did mention several mu-
nicipai issues including: making the se-
nior citizen property tax exemption a
local option instead of a state unfundee
mandate: reorganization of the PERS
employee retirement system to lower
costs; "shifting inspection responsibility
to local government wherever possible
and eliminating state general fund sup-
port to troopers in communities with a
population of over 2500..."; and. "slow-
ing the growth of education' costs.
Unlike previous state budget plans.
municipalities were not singled out for
cuts. In fact. the Commission left the
door open for productive negotiations
between state and local government.
The ACoM and the AML Board of Direc-
tors asked the state to bring municipali-
ties "to the table" to negotiate issues
involving municipalities. The request
has evoived into a concept used in other

Note from the Executive Director
Kevin C. Ritchie
WHAT'S N EW AT TH E 45TH AN N UAL
LOCAL GOVERNMENT CONFERENCE ?
Changes at the 45th Annual Local Government Conference have been
designed by the AML Board of Directors to be of great value to long time
municipal officials and newly elected and appointed officials alike. Some
of the new features include:
• The conference has been streamlined, while maintaining a high level of
content, to allow municipal officials more time to "network'.
• A nationally recognized leadership speaker has been retained to kick of
:he first AML Leadership Institute as part of the conference program.
Leadership institute participants will receive a certificate of completion for
attending the leadership keynote speech and workshop, one of the four
AML policy sections. and two or more of the eight leadership track
workshops on Thursday.
• The AML Policy Statement has been given a "zero based policy
review' by the AML Legislative committee. All policies have been updated
and new ones added. AML needs all members to actively participate in
making final changes to the new policy statement.
• The policy section review sessions have been streamlined to all occur
Wednesday afternoon. Instead of making individual presentations, invited
experts in policy areas will be available to answer questions to allow AML
delegates plenty of time to thoroughly consider changes.
• A new Community Awards of Excellence Program has been created to
recognize innovative municipal programs. Awards in six categories will be I
made the niant of the annual banquet.
• A new Legislative Awards Program has been created to recognize
legislators who have supported municipal priorities. The awards reception
will be on Thursday night and is co -sponsored by the ARDOR regional
programs. Senate President Drue Pearce and House Speaker Gail
Phillips will address the delegates.
• Training workshops have been carefully planned to meet the needs
Identified by AML memoers who responded to the Conference Planning
Survey. The workshops are divided into two tracks: Legislative Institute
Track: and Nuts and Bolts Track. Both Tracks will provide issue specific
training and tools for municipal elected and appointed officials to take back
to their communities.
• A fun Friday night banquet. but with plenty of content. Awards will be
presented to communities and outstanding municipal officials. Afterward.
:here will be a municipal "hoe down' with western hats and bandanas. a
country and western band from 'West Valdez". and line dancing lessons

1995 AML Local Government Conference
Leadership Institute
Providing quality educational oppor-
tunities to elected officials is just one of
the goals of the Alaska Municipal
League. As part of this year's confer-
ence, we will be introducing a new pro-
gram called the Leadership Institute.
The series of workshops will provide
local leaders additional leadership train-
ing in areas of privatization/partnering,
strategic planning/goal setting, conflict
resolution, volunteerism, and leader-
ship styles.
Participants will be asked to enroll
during registration and will receive more
information in the conference packets.
To receive a certificate of completion,
you will be required to attend the lead-
ership team building work session with
Lyle Sumek, one policy section,and at
least two Leadership Institute training
sessions on Thursday.
In addition to the Leadership Institute,
we will be offering Nuts & Bolts work-
shops so you can catch up on the latest
issues facing local elected leaders.
There is no extra charge for partici-
pating in the Leadership Institute.

work, from their area of Alaska.
They will be on display Friday evening
and bid sheets will be placed in front of
each item. Conference delegates will
have until 9:00 p.m. to bid on the auction
items and the lucky winners will be an-

states: a LOCAL GOVERNMEN i
PARTNERSHIP COUNCIL, which is
now being considered to provide a
forum for direct negotiations between
the state and its political subdivisions.
Now did ACoM and AML partner
to help educate the Commission
about municipal issues?
First. the AML successfully offered
language in the drafting of the resolu-
tion that directed the Commission to
focus on municipal issues.
Second, a teleconference meeting
between the Long Range Financial
Planning Commission and the Alaska
Conference of Mayors and the AML
Board of Directors had a very positive
impact on the process.
Third. the AML prepared detailed
written information and recommen-
dations to the Commission regarding
critical municipal and state issues.
Fourth, the AML participated in nu-
merous Commission meetings aswell
as met with individual Commissioner,
and attended subcommittee meeting:
Special thanks go to Commission
members Bob Loescher. who chaired
the Local Government Subcommit-
tee. and other members including
Chair. Brian Rogers, Mary Nordale,
Senator Georoiana Lincoln. and Pat
Pourchot who worked especially
closely with AML/ACoM on consider -
no municipal issues.
The AML and ACoM have taken the
general approach of helping the state
meet its financial challenges. rather
than simply trying to hold on to current
municipal programs and services. In
fact. the fiscal gap affects ail citizens.
Municipalities must continue to take a
leadership roie in helping guide the
state. After all. municipal budgets
together are as large as the state's
operating budget and municipalities
have valuable experience in making
ends meet.
The crisis of yesterday is the
joke of tomorrow.

AML/JIA Continues to Grow -
Adds New Services
Eight years after being formed. the Alaska Municipal League/Joint Insurance
Association (AML/JIA) continues to acc new members and have a very healthy
financial outlook.
"We're about two years ahead of our strategic plan in the size of our surplus."
says Steve Wells. Director of Risk Management.
Wells said the strategic plan didn't identify a surplus amount. but it did identify
a target of having one dollar of surplus for every two dollars of premium. The
surplus is the amount saved over arc above the money set aside for fully
funding expected losses.
"Right now, we are doing about S6 million in core package premiums, and
we have a little over $4 million in surplus.' says Wells.
Wells says other indicators of the fund s financial health are also encourag-
ing. For example, the general rule fcr amount of surplus to self -insured
retention is about 10 to one; AMUJIA would need a $2.5 million surplus to meet
this goal. And it has more than double the $2 million required to meet another
indicator — one dollar of surplus for every dollar of exposure.
"That's a very good sign that we're a very, very healthy program financially."
says Wells.
Wells says that he thinks about S10 million would be an optimum surplus
amount for the insurance pool. After that point. AMUJIA would begin paying its
members a dividend.
"We're still probably five years away from that." he says, then adds. "Maybe not
quite that much."
AMUJIA has continued to add memcers. This past year, fourteen organiza-
tions joined, several of them school districts. as well as the City of Kodiak.
"We think we're going to start adding a lot of schools in the future. They're
finally comfortable with what we're doing. Their budgets are getting tighter and
they're looking around for savings without sacrifcing coverage," says Wells.
AMUJIA is continuing to work to increase growth. This year. it helped draft
legislation to allow IRAs and tribal councils to join the pool.
"We know both entities are providing municipal services. although current
law doesn't allow them to join the program." says Wells. AMUJIA is hoping to
work with the Division of Insurance to satisfy its concerns about the bill. SB 104
(Sen. Torgerson) and HB223 (Rep. Ivan) were introduced last session.
There are about 280 IRAs and tribal councils in Alaska. and about half of them
are providing municipal services. Wells says AMUJIA is interested only in
covering those that do provide such services. He adds that the insurance pool
often receives calls from these groups interested in joining.
"There's real need out there. There s no one else proposing a solution to fill
that need," he says.
Also on the drawing board for AMUJIA members are plans to develop
computer communication with members. beginning with a fax -back system.
Board members have also proposed a Native college student internship
program, bringing one student into the AMUJIA offices during the summers.
Finally, Wells is excited about a new. free service the insurance pool plans
to begin offering its members next May.
"We're going to start doing property appraisals for our members." says Wells.
Under the plan. municipalities and schools would provide some raw informa-
tion about their properties (size, use. construction type, etc.) to AMUJIA. The
information would be sent to a firm that uses the information to determine
appraisals, taking into account geographic location. Wells estimates the job of
appraising the estimated thousand buildings owned by AMUJIA members
would take between three and five years.
AML Board Initiates
New Strategic Plan
Includes all Communities and
Municipal Associations
At the comoined AML Board of Direc-
tors/Alaska Conference of Mayors meet-
ing in Barrow on August 25-26, the AML
Board of Directors voted unanimously
to initiate the development of a new
ALASKA MUNICIPAL LEAGUE STRA-
TEGIC PLAN to help chart the future for
our organization. The purpose of a
strategic plan is to involve all members
and interested persons and organiza-
tions in making sure that the AML is on
track and providing the maximum and
best services to our communities.
The last major AML Strategic Plan
ryas completed in 1987. As a result of
*hat plan, the AML made major service
mprovements like the initiation of the
AML Joint Insurance Association, the
.AML Investment Pool, and a variety of
organizational and policy improvements.
The strategic plan will begin with a
survey of all members and then a plan-
ning meeting will be held including rep-
resentatives from the AML Board, the
AML/JIA Trustees, Alaska Conference
of Mayors, Professional Municipal As-
sociations, and others.
All interested persons should start
making a list of possible goals for the
-ext ten years of AML. If you want more
nformation call Kevin Ritchie at 586-
325.

League of Cities. people in Washington.
D.C. and across the nation are inter-
ested in what Alaskans think. It may
have something to do with the fact that
Alaska now has a very powerful con-
gressional delegation or the great im-
portance of Alaska s resources.
The Alaska Municipal League is a
charter member of two of the most pow-
erful municipal organizations in the na-
tion, the National League of Cities
(NLC), and the National Association
of Counties INACo). These organiza-
tions were created as a joint venture
between the municipal leagues and
county associations in each state. As a
charter member of both NLC and NACo
the Alaska Municipal League can di-
rectly appoint Alaskan municipal offi-
cials to nation policy committees.
The NLC Policy Committees are:
Finance. Administration. and Intergov-
ernmental Relations
Energy. Environment. and Natural
Resources
Community and Econ. Development
Human Development
Transportation and Communications
Public Safety
The NACo Policy Committees are:
Agriculture and Rural Affairs

NLC Urges Repeal of Davis Bacon Act
The National League of Cities I NLC)
is asking local government officials
across the country to urge their con-
gressional delegations to uphold the
repeal of the Davis Bacon Act.
ISSUE: The Davis -Bacon Act re-
quires workers on all construction and
rehabilitation crojects to which the
federal government contributes
$2.000 or more in funding to be paid
the "prevailing wade. This require-
ment inflates the cost of public works
projects fo local governments and.
therby, increases the cost to local
taxpayers. by inflating the cost of fed-
eral projects. Davis Bacon also di-
verts funds from other worthwhile
projects than may never receive fund-
ing. The cost of compivino wiht Davis -
Bacon also eeiays the construction
and repair of essential public infra-
structure croiects. increasing their
costs and placing the public at risk
NLC. as a member of the Coalition to
Repeal Davis -Bacon. is currently lob-
bying Congress for repeal.
STATUS: 7-le House and Senat
Budget Reconciliation bills would re-
ceal David -Bacon for a cost savings
of S2.7 billion over 5 years. Because
of the controversial nature of repeal,
this provision will be boted on sepa-
rately when the House and Senate
vote on the Budget Reconciliation bill
in September or October. It is antici-
pated that an amendment to reinstate
Davis -Bacon will be offered. However,
potential sponsors will have to finance
the $2.7 billion reinstatement through
cuts in labor or education programs.
ACTION: The NLC requests that
you contact Your congressional del-
egation to urge rebeai of the Davis -
Bacon Act.

PALMER, Alaska -- Proposed Congressional budget cuts are estimated to result in 700,000 fewer
people with access to safe drinking water. "A disproportionate number of these people will be in rural
Alaska," according to Ernest Brannon, state director for Rural Economic and Community Development,
U.S. Department of Agriculture. President Clinton's Water 2000 Initiative estimates that 7.1 million
rural households have water that does not meet safe standards. A proposed cut of $500 million from the
initiative will hobble it.
"Alaska has America's highest percentage of people living in Third World conditions. The cuts slated
for rural America in current Congressional budget proposals could not come at a worse time. We have
begun targeting several areas in western Alaska for increased assistance to overcome these problems,
and these efforts will be slowed or stopped by reductions in budget appropriations," he said.
Brannon's comments came in a joint press release with Karen Lee, state director for the Farm Service
Agency. Both Brannon and Lee emphasized that the Congressional budget plans could devastate rural
Alaska, through neglect in the critical areas of water and wastewater systems, housing, nutrition and
farm programs, health care, education, transportation and the environment.
They highlighted several areas of concern:
Water and Wastewater: Congressional cuts will result in one-third less money
available for rural Alaska loans and grants in the area of sanitation.
Hospitals and Medicare: The Congressional cuts will increase the severe financial
pressure on rural hospitals in Alaska and could force some to close. Medicare spending
for people in rural areas of Alaska will be cut by $100 million over seven years, a 20 per
cent cut in the year 2002 alone. The cuts will force 19,400 older and disabled rural
Alaskans to pay higher premiums and higher deductibles for a weakened program. In
Medicaid, as many as 2.2 million rural Americans, including one million children, will
be denied coverage in 2002.
Housing: The cuts will reduce spending on public housing capital in rural Alaska 46 per
cent below the President's request in 1996. These reductions will total $871,000 in 1996,
severely hindering efforts to rehabilitate run-down public housing projects.

* Nutrition: Congressional budget cuts will fall particularly hard on the rural poor,
slashing up to 15 per cent, or $83 million over seven years, from food assistance to
Alaska. Nationally, the nutrition cuts are estimated to result in the loss of 57,800 rural
jobs. About 300 of these lost jobs are likely to hit rural Alaska.
* Taxes: Congress' budget raises taxes on 12,426 working families in rural Alaska by an
average of $284 in 2002. Cuts to the Earned Income Tax Credit will impose a $3.5
million tax increase on working rual Alaskans and their children.
* Education: The proposed cuts will deny 1,254 children basic and advanced skills in
rural Alaska in 1996. Title I funds will be cut by $1.3 million -- more than 17 per cent --
denying crucial assistance at a time when many small-town and Bush community schools
are already having trouble making ends meet.
* Farm Programs: The Congressional budget slashes farm spending by 25 per cent over
seven years. In Alaska, the cuts would translate into as high as $2 million over seven
years. Nationally, net farm income for basic food products like grains and soybeans is
expected to decline by $9 billion by the year 2002, a four per cent reduction in earnings.
Additionally, the Conservation Reserve Program is slated for drastic cuts in future years
by Congress. This would mean a decrease of about $7 million for Interior Alaska by the
year 2002.
Toxic Waste Clean-up: Nationwide, the Congressional proposals reduce spending on
toxic waste cleanups by 36 per cent over the President's balanced budget. Among
projects reduced or abandoned by these reductions are several of the 40 scheduled
cleanups of the Federal Aviation Administration's VORTAC navigational sites in
Alaska.
"If these budget cuts go through, rural Alaska will be denied crucial opportunities for sustained
economic growth," Brannon and Lee said. "By contrast, the President's budget cuts are moderate and
designed to keep all sectors of the United States growing. They too achieve a balanced budget, by the
year 2005, and without slashing at the poor and the countryside to do it."
"The President has never wavered from his commitment to rural families," they said. "This
Administration recognizes the need to make sure economic growth continues and the country's great
environmental resources are preserved, and this can be done most effectively with the President's ten-
year balanced budget plan."
The Congressional plan to balance the budget by the year 2002 is driven by the concurrent agenda to
fund a large tax cut for the wealthiest part of America, at the expense of the rural poor and the elderly.
More than 20 per cent of the -nation's population and more than 80 per cent of its land area are in rural
areas, according to Lee, and the President's proposal is designed to sustain the farm and food programs
that have produced history's most abundant, most affordable, and most wholesome food supply.

A PUBLIC LIBRARY IN SERVICE SINCE 1949
163 MAIN STREET LOOP
KENAI, ALASKA 99611
(907) 283-4378
The Kenai Community Library has maintained a steady growth since
its beginning in the halls of the Territorial School building in
1949. 1976 construction of a completely new 5000 sq. ft. facility
made the Library much more visible, easier to use, and a much more
pleasant place to utilize. An additional 5000 sq. ft. addition
was added in 1986 which included 4 sound -proof rooms, a closed
stack area, and an activity room.
The Library was operated with a City of Kenai funded librarian and
two clerks until FY 1989-90 when another clerk was employed.
Alaska State Library grant funds have enabled the Library to
employ a part-time clerk to give on -going library service to
Wildwood Correctional Center, and other special project grants at
various times during the last ten years.
With the opening of the new building in 1976, the Library
instigated Saturday hours, a Friday evening film presentation
featuring family type films (now discontinued), two story groups
instead of just one, a public use computer, a meeting room for
groups, daily Alaskana film showings (now done by the Kenai
Visitors and Cultural Center), and many other programs.
The 1986 building addition allowed the Library to improve the
various programs already in progress. The Library again increased
hours so that it is now open 63 hours a week. The Library added a
summer reading program for elementary age children, two additional
typewriters, a stereo, an IBM and a Macintosh computer for public
use. The Library also automated many Library processes by
acquiring a Dynix Automation System which includes circulation,
cataloging, and public access programs. One can now access the
Kenai Community Library public access catalog from one's home
computer.
In 1982 the Library became a member of WLN and since that time
has been adding records of the Library collection to the WLN data
base by computer using the dial -up mode. We also use the WLN data
base for Inter -Library Loan and cataloging information.
Cataloging information for new materials can be down -loaded from
WLN directly into the Dynix computer saving hours of keying in new
book records.
The Library now has 3 full-time employees, 4 half-time employees,
and the quarter -time employee who does library service to Wildwood
Correctional Center, and who is actually paid for by a grant from
the Alaska State Library for Correctional Services.

A PUBLIC LIBRARY IN SERVICE SINCE 1949
163 MAIN STREET LOOP
KENAI, ALASKA 99611
(907) 283-4378
The Library currently holds 56,407 books, 1,977 pieces of AV
materials, and 1,149 cataloged Alaska State Documents. There are
several collections within the library including the Documents
Depository, Alaskana, large -print books, video materials, audio
materials, adult and juvenile fiction and non-fiction sections, an
easy reading section for pre-schoolers, a genealogy section,
current periodicals, and newspapers. The Library also has a
public access terminal to SLED (State Library Electronic Doorway)
for Internet access, several public use computers and typewriters,
Infotrak Plus for magazine reference, and Newsbank for newspaper
articles.
The Library has programs for young people, a Story Hour on
Thursdays, a Lap -Time Story Time on Wednesdays, a Summer Reading
Program, and has plans for Children's Book Week which include a
Stuffed Pet Parade, an exhibit of the American Girl Doll
Collection from Pleasant Company, and a story writing contest.
The Library encourages school groups to utilize the library. We
now host Middle School students three days a week as part of the
Accelerated Reading program, and a group comes each Monday from
Kenai Central High School.
By staying open long hours and by steadily improving the total
collection the Library attempts to offer library service to all.

Administration; and Airport Land System Fund - Land.
Airport Fund - Terminal
The Kenai Airport Terminal is a two-story building which was
constructed in 1968, expanded in 1983, and renovated in 1989.
The terminal has three enplanement gates and one deplanement gate
to accommodate approximately 110,000 enplanements per year.
Airport Land System Fund - M&O
The Kenai Municipal Airport is the principal airport on the Kenai
Peninsula. It has a 7,575 ft. x 150 ft. runway, a 3,500 ft. x
150 ft. float plane facility, and a 1,000 ft. x 75 ft. grass
strip for summer use. Three main 75 ft. wide taxiways, A, B, and
C, connect the runway to a paved 3,600 ft. x 325 ft. apron which
parallels the runway on the east side. The secondary taxiways,
F, G, and H give access to the general aviation apron.
Airport Land System Fund - Administration
The Airport Manager is responsible for the overall operations of
the airport. The Airport Manager receives secretarial support
and assistance with lease agreements and airport land management
from the City's Administrative Assistant III. Collection of
lease payments is done by the City's Finance Department.
Airport improvement projects are primarily funded through airport
entitlement monies received from the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA). Funding for these projects are not a part
of the annual budget process and are accounted for separately in
capital projects funds.
Funding for the operation of the airport terminal is derived from
terminal lease space rent and the Terminal Enterprise Fund.
Similarly, funding for the maintenance and operation of the air
field is derived from landing fees, tiedown fees, special use
permits, land lease rents and interest from Airport Land System
Special Revenue Fund.
Airport Land System Fund - Land
Airport Land is the real estate that lies within the boundary of
the lands deeded to the City of Kenai by the FAA in 1963. The
acquisition gave the City title to nearly 2,000 acres. Most of
the land is located in the business district surrounding the
airport. The FAA requires that revenues from the airport land
system be deposited in the airport land system account to support
the Kenai Airport.
49
Personnel
The Kenai Municipal Airport employs two full time positions at
the airport, the Airport Manager and operations and Maintenance
Specialist. The Airport receives secretarial support from the
City's Administrative Assistant III at City Hall. This employee
is also responsible for the management of all land leases and
land disposal. The airport also receives assistance from the
Public Works Department (Streets, Building Maintenance and Shop)
and the Parks and Recreation Department.

individuals. Those elderly living in the Kenai, Salamotof, Kasilof, Clam
Gulch, Cohoe and lower Kalifonsky Beach areas are target to receive
services from our center. Services are also provided to those seniors
living in Nikiski, Soldotna, Ridgeway and Sterling areas.

MISSION STATEMENT:
To serve as a community focal point for senior services where
adults 60+ come together for fellowship and program
participation, to engage in opportunities for dignity and
personal growth, to improve and enrich their quality of life, to
support the needs of older individuals, to enhance their
independence, and to broaden their involvement within the
community.

KENAI SENIOR SERVICES
FUMMUM
The Kenai Senior Citizens Center is a vital social institution, offering a broad range
of services/activities and access to many community resources. The senior center is
unique because it focuses on older adults as total persons, recognizing their diverse
needs and life-long interests, experiences, and skills.
The philosophy of the senior center is based on the premise that aging is a normal
developmental process; that human beings need peers with whom they can interact
and who are available as a source of encouragement and support; and that senior
adults have the right to voice in determining matters in which they have a vital
interest.
In accordance with these premises, the senior center adheres to the following beliefs;
older adults, like all people, are individuals with ambitions, capabilities, and creative
capacities; they are capable of continued growth and development; they have certain
basic needs, including opportunities for relationships and for experiencing a sense of
achievement; they need both access to sources of information and help for personal
and family problems, and the opportunity to learn from individuals coping with
similar experiences; and, they have a right to maximum opportunity for involvement
in all aspects of a center's decision -making process. The staff at the senior center is
obliged to create an atmosphere that acknowledges the value of human life; affirms
the dignity and self-worth of the older adult; and maintains a climate of respect, trust
and support.
The center provides opportunities for older adults to apply their wisdom, experiences,
and insights; to exercise their skills; and to develop their potential as individuals.
