ALASKA 99762-1068 PHONE. (907) 443-5457 FAX. (907) 443-2409 The Shared Fisheries Business Tax Program was created by the Legislature in 1991. The purpose of this program is to provide for a sharing of state fish tax collected outside municipal boundaries with municipalities that have been effected by fishing industry activities. This is the third year for this program. Municipalities around the state will share approximately $849,797 based on 1994 fisheries activity as reported by fish processors on their fish tax returns. The law that created this program requires that program funding be first allocated to fisheries management areas around the state based on the level of fish processing in each area compared to the total fish processing for the whole state. Then the funding is further allocated among the municipalities located within each fisheries management area based on the relative level of impacts experienced by each municipality. Details of how the program works are presented in the application under Program Description. Your community is located in the Cook Inlet Fisheries Management Area. The municipalities located in this area include Anchorage, Homer, Kenai, Kenai Peninsula Borough, Kachemak, Seldovia, Seward and Soldotna. The FY 96 program total allocation to be shared within this area is approximately $29,252.89. In fisheries management areas where the program allocation is less than S4,000 multiplied by the number of municipalities in the area, program regulations provide for a "short -form" application. In your area the threshold value is $32,000 (8 municipalities x S4,000) and you are therefore receiving the attached Short -Form Application. We encourage your municipality to complete the FY 96 Shared Fisheries Business Tax Application as soon as possible. FINAL DEADLINE for submissions of applications is December 15,1995. If you have any questions about the program, or require assistance in completing the application, please call me at 465-4733 or Michael Cushing at 465-4751.

Roll Call Meeting called to order at approximately 7:02 p.m. by Vice-chairman Holloway.

Approval of Minutes August 10, 1995 Vice-chairman Holloway asked for approval of the August 10, 1995 minutes. Mr. Kopp stated he had read them and didn't see any errors. MR. KOPP MOVED FOR APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF AUGUST 10, 1995. MS. EDWARD SECONDED THE MOTION. UNANIMOUS. 4. Persons Present Scheduled to be Heard 5. Old Business a. Salmon Producers Alliance - Paul Dale Mr. Holland, representing Randy Ernst Airport Manager, asked to speak to item 5a. Noted letter in packet from Salmon Producers Alliance outlining their proposal. Further discussion has taken place with Alliance and they have agreed to use the push-button mechanism on the display so that it doesn't continuously run. Provided a video tape for the Commission to preview and to note any objections. At the last council meeting they had made recommendation to proceed with discussion to attempt Kenai Airport Commission Minutes September 14, 1995 Page 1 to agree on an arrangement to place cabinet in terminal. Mr. Holland stated he would like to show video with approval of Commission. Mr. Kopp asked who was the Salmon Producers Alliance. Is it a cooperative of all the canneries and packers in this area? Mr. Holland responded it is the commercial fisherman and canneries. Mr. Kopp asked if they viewed this as a marketing tool or a public relations mechanism to inform the public who they are. What is their motive behind the display? Mr. Holland responded the video is to be used as an awareness tool to inform people as they come through the terminal, visitors who might not be aware of where the salmon come from. Video viewed by Commission. Mr. Holloway noted the video was not quite 10 minutes long. Mr. Kopp noted that was a long time for someone to stand and watch a video. Ms. Edwards commented she felt it was far too long. Mr. Holloway noted that for the majority of people standing in an airport waiting for a plane that the video would be great. However, those getting off an airplane going some place are not going to stand and watch the entire video. Mr. Holland noted that was one of the reasons Mr. Ernst wanted to see the push button feature so that the video isn't continually running. Mr. Kopp stated he felt it was great and whether or not it was too long was the Alliance's issue and they may decide to shorten it in the future; and if a move to approve is necessary, would make a motion. Mr. Holland asked to make an additional comment before a motion is made. Stated plan for a flat lease rate of $50 or $600 per year, basically paid once a year in a single payment. The lease would give them space in the baggage claim area. The letter states any further electrical circuitry that is required would be at the Alliance's expense. Mr. Holland asked if the Commission has any objections to the video or to the proposed lease rate. Mr. Kopp asked how many square feet the counter would take? Mr. Holland stated he did not have the cabinet dimensions as it has not actually been built; however, it is not expected to be very large. Square footage wise, it will be fairly tail. It is supposed to be six foot tail. Mr. Holloway asked if it would be similar to the one that used to be at the airport. Mr. Holland stated Kenai Video used to have a display and it is basically the same type of a lease the city had with them. In that lease, the city received advertisement in their video display so it was almost an exchange for the lease. This is actually not a lease, a special use permit. Ms. Koerber asked where exactly the display would be placed. Mr. Holland advised in the baggage area near the half wall. Ms. Koerber clarified if it would be inside or outside of the fencing. Mr. Holland stated inside the railing. Ms. Edwards commented it would be nice if there were chairs in the area in case people did want to sit and watch the video. Mr. Holland advised the idea was to build the display at eye - level for persons to stand to view. Mr. Kopp asked Mr. Holloway if he remembered the square footage rate charged in the past. Mr. Holloway advised he did not but he felt the $50 a month is sufficient. Mr. Holland advised that the normal rate for a lease such as the rental car areas is $1.65 a square foot. Kenai Airport Commission Minutes September 14, 1995 page 2 MR. KOPP MOVED THAT THE VIDEO AND THE LEASE RATE FOR A SPECIAL USE PERMIT WITH THE SALMON PRODUCERS ALLIANCE BE ACCEPTED. MOTION WAS SECONDED BY MS. KOERBER. MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUS. b. Midnight Sun Reservation Central Mr. Holland asked to speak to this item. Mr. Holland advised he was surprised by the council's decision at the last meeting to this proposal. Advised negotiations have been proceeding with Barbara Kangas. Mr. Holland noted that the council had had concerns with competition from Ms. Kangas with other agencies within the city limits. Council was also concerned about the lease rate and they did not agree with the rate as it had been presented, $50 per month or $600 per year. One of the things the council had asked to be investigated was that the lease be figured at the current rate that the rental car agencies pay. Using those rates, it will increase to approximately $90 with tax per month plus the ten percent off of the gross receipts. This information is being prepared to be presented to the council. Mr. Kopp asked if that was the rate the car rental agencies pay. Mr. Holland responded correct; they pay $1.65 per square foot for the lease area and ten percent of gross revenues. Mr. Kopp stated that rate hardly seemed fair to Ms. Kangas based on the size of the space in comparison to the rental car areas. The space would not be closed in, just stuck at the end of the counters. Not an equal space for equal money. Mr. Holland noted that the rental agencies were not necessarily closed in and secured. That people can access behind the counters when they are closed if they choose to. Mr. Kopp stated that he felt that overall the space is question was just not as attractive a spot or as nice as the rental car area. Mr. Holland noted that Ms. Kangas was not asking for much space as she doesn't anticipate the need. Ms. Koerber noted that she heard from some of the car rental agencies and that they had voiced their opinion that they felt the rate changed Ms. Kangas should be equivalent to the rate they pay. Ms. Edwards stated she felt that was fair. Ms. Koerber voiced concern that Ms. Kangas has stated she will not be involved in the car rental business; however, wondered if any legal statement to that effect. Mr. Holland stated it was not her intention to do any car rental reservations. Ms. Koerber stated it wasn't stipulated. Mr. Holland stated he believed that was addressed in the minutes of the last meeting. Ms. Koerber stated she remembered the discussion but felt it needs to be in the permit. Mr. Holland stated the special use permit will specify that stipulation. Vice-chairman Holloway asked Mr. Holland if he needed anything from the commission at this time. Mr. Holland responded no, he was just updating the commission. Councilman Measles asked if this would be a special use permit or a normal lease. Mr. Holland responded this would be a lease. Councilman Measles stated the lease document could spell out what could be done under the lease. Mr. Holland agreed. Mr. Kopp questioned why the contract says special use permit. Mr. Holland noted that was the original and to note under Item 4B, rent shall be $50 per month or $600 annual. This has now been changed to $1.65 per square foot based on a 52 square foot area. This figures to $1,029 per year as well as the ten percent from profits. 6. New Business Kenai Airport Commission Minutes September 14, 1995 Page 3 7. Airport Manager's Report a. Update on projects Mr. Holland brought the commission's attention to the packet materials. On project updates: The airport maps are planned. The aerial photos taken in August and are being digitized now and should be available in approximately six weeks. Regarding the automated fueling system, Mr. Holland stated he has spoken with U.S. Bank and Mr. Graham insured him that the city would have an account number by last Friday. He then said Monday or Tuesday and to date we still don't have an account number. Reconstruction of steps at south end of terminal are complete. Minor finishing to be completed. Automatic flushers on sinks, toilets, and urinals in progress. Mr. Holland stated he was approximately halfway through project when Mr. Ernst took leave so the project will resume upon Mr. Ernst's return. Hot mopping of roof terminal completed. Still have one leak that is being investigated. Suspicions that may have something to do with glass tube going into the bar area and this may have been confirmed. Overflow parking area upgrade has been started. Area has been graded out and ready for fabric and gravel cap. Currently waiting on Street Department to purchase gravel and haul it in. Camp sites at the float plane basin have been cleared and brought up to grade with sand. Need to be capped with gravel. Looking into purchasing picnic tables and fire pits from the high school and these would be purchased in the spring as they are completed. Received locks to re -key the terminal building to go to a better locking system as well as to replace some of the locks and handles that are worn out and need to be replaced. Just a matter of time for installation. The carport and garage for the pickup and the airport car and tractor has gone to bid and accepted and awarded. Contractor asked for two weeks to get the building in and begin work on that. Vice-chairman Holloway asked who received the bid. Mr. Holland responded it was awarded to Alaska Building Systems and that they were the only bid the city received. Mr. Holland continued. The new sewer line at the end of the terminal which is to remedy a problem of continuing freezes through the winter for the restaurant has begun. All materials are in stock and is awaiting scheduling by the Water and Sewer Department. Mr. Holland directed the commission's attention to the next page of his report regarding the airport long-term paid parking. As of this date 19 permits issued and a total of $17,927.65 gross revenues. Only 29 vehicles towed. Either people are not parking in the area or having problems with towing company. This will be checked on as in the last two months the number of towings have dropped off. Mr. Holloway noted that perhaps people are finally believing they will be towed. Mr. Holland responded that he does get a lot of phone calls now from people requesting they not be towed. Next, Mr. Holland reviewed the Enplanement Report. He noted a total of 12,979 enplanements for the month which is approximately 604 enplanements over last year. Noted that Mr. Ernst had reported the airport is at 2,200 enplanements over last year's total at this point which would bring the total to 2,800 enplanements over last year as of this date. Kenai Airport Commission Minutes September 14, 1995 Page 4 Vice -chair Holloway asked for any other comments or questions. Mr. Kopp stated he had been asked by a pilot to ask a question of Mr. Ernst so will direct it to Mr. Holland. That is, why has the airport not built hangars for private planes. Is it not cost effective? Mr. Holland responded that there has been questions about that, but he would have to refer that to Mr. Ernst as to why it hasn't been looked into. However, he knows they are costly as he has personally looked into the cost and cannot see any feasibility at this time. Mr. Holloway stated it has been looked at in the past and the cost has been a major problem. For example the t-hangars in Anchorage and construction costs have gone up tremendously since they were installed and the amount of rental you get really doesn't pay for the amount of construction. Mr. Kopp clarified that rent would not cover the cost. Mr. Holloway stated that by the time they were paid off they would be in misrepair. Mr. Holland stated the airport has a difficult time now trying to get spaces rented. Mr. Kopp stated he talked to a metal building contractor today and he said roughly about $25 per square foot to construct a basic, uninsulated, unheated shell. Vice -chair Holloway asked Councilman Measles if he had any comments or additions. He noted none. 8. Commission Comments and Questions 9. Information Items 10. Adjournment MR.

RFP - Engineering Study - Will Jahrig stated that he and Jim Bookey discussed with the mayor about possibly putting out an RFP for a preliminary study to be done concerning bluff erosion. They would like to have Bill Nelson come before the Harbor Commission next meeting to educate the commission with possible ideas to control bluff erosion and problems along the dunes. Also to give the Commission ideas about the possible costs associated with the controls. They felt if it was something the Commission might support, it could then be brought before the Council for an RFP. Keith stated he would talk to Nelson and get him scheduled on the next Harbor Commission agenda. Jim Bookey stated if the Commission was in agreement, then he would take it to Council. B. ADF&G Request - Keith Kornelis stated that the buoy ADF&G is currently using will be pulled soon. They have requested to use the city buoy until the city pulls theirs. Keith stated that there was no problem with them using the city buoy until that time. Will Jahrig stated that they have found a surprising number of fish and other aquatic life in the sampler this year. They have kept samples at the ADF&G office on K- Beach Road if anyone is interested in viewing them. 7. INFORMATION A. Ship to Shore Lease - Jim Bookey stated that Ship to Shore has requested to be released from their lease. He stated that Council has already released them from the lease, as they requested. Ship to Shore indicated at this time that they were still considering coming back next year. S. COMMISSIONER COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS Barry Eldridge stated that Swede has devised a new way to pull the anchor. Keith stated that as long as they are careful, it is quite effective. Keith stated that they will be turning the lights on soon. They received an estimate of $1500 to put in switches. He felt it did not look like that will be done anytime soon. Jim Bookey stated that since there will be an election coming up, he did not know for sure if he would be back to the next meeting.

She spoke with several librarians from Oregon and Idaho. There will be a retreat at Alyeska in October. She stated there were questions about state library funding policy which she hopes to get Library Commission September 5, 1995 Page 1 more information on. Emily stated that the book signing will be held on Friday the 8th of September. Also the City is doing a position classification study on library positions. Janice asked about the tax distribution from the City. Emily stated that maybe half of the taxes paid in Kenai are paid by out of district people, and probably a third of the City's income is derived from taxes. Vince stated he had heard that heard that a group had been formed to try to defeat both bond issues. He stated he would discuss further during Old Business. Carol asked if there were prototype libraries without books. Emily stated that there is a college library in San Francisco without books. She stated it is mostly used for research and doesn't really need books. 6. OLD BUSINESS A. Friends - Kathy Heus stated there was a meeting held to discuss what the Friends could do to assist in campaining support for the library bond issue. Marilyn Demmick is charing the committee. They have put together a newsletter that was mailed to all the Friends. They have another meeting scheduled for the 11th to discuss distributing information. Kathy reminded everyone that Friday the 8th is the book signing with Steve Reynolds. B. Library Plans - The architect, Mr. Klugy, dropped off the new library plans with the Friends just before their meeting. There are now plans available for a daylight basement, which seems to be the wav Council is leaning. Vince asked about the $3 million figure. Christine stated that the Council went with that figure since the Library Commission felt so strongly in support of it. Kathy stated that anything any of the Commissioners wanted to do to promote the bond issue should be addressed through the Friends to avoid conflict of interest. Vince again stated that there is a committee being organized to defeat the bond issue. Janice asked how active a Commissioner could get if they were also a member of the Friends, in promoting the bond issue. Kathy stated that it just had to be clear that they were promoting the expansion as a Friends member and not as a Commission Library Commission September 5, 1995 Page 2 member. Vince stated he had discussed with the Mayor about possibly putting the computer system out to bid. He stated that the Mayor felt that might allow more available information at a lower cost, without the city being responsible for maintenance. Emily stated that the program that will be available on the new mainframe is called Vista. This is a program offered by Dynex and will be a dial -in service. It will be updated and maintained by Dynex, which is a very big responsibility. Kathy stated that keeping the computer up and running is only one aspect of the computer system. Thre is still the need for someone who is knowledgeable in library sciences who is able to determine what information will be needed. Carol stated that everything is changing so quickly that it is almost impossible to predict what technology will be needed in the year 2000. Kathy stated that in terms of space, the recommended area required for a computer station is 32 square feet. This is more than is recommended for a basic study area. Carol suggested stressing the aspect of off -site research that will be available on the dial -in system. Emily stated that going with Dynex will allow that. She stated that they are also request five access channels, where there is currently only one channel available now. C. Student Availability - Kathy Heus stated that the high school has been notified and they will be publishing in their next newsletter requesting interested students for the student rep positions that are currently open. 7. NEW BUSINESS A. Bond Issue - Kathy stated that it needs to be kept in mind that the mandatory ADA changes are not inexpensive. In some cases in order to renovate what we have now can be more expensive than to start new. Kathy suggested it might be good for each Commissioner to jot down some of the things each one might want to discuss or see in the available areas of the library, such as meeting areas. study areas, etc. Kathy asked Emily abour user fees. Emily stated that she wanted a commission feeling on user fees. It was not felt by the commission that user fees were a necessity at this point. Library Commission September 5, 1995 Page 3 8 COMMISSIONER COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS Bob Peters felt that toddler storytime is a positive addition to the library activities. 9.

ROLL CALL Members Present: Jack Castimore, Richard Hultberg, Dale Sandahl, Kelly Gifford, Michele Fahnholz Members Absent: Steve Latz, Roger Seibert Also Present: Kayo McGillivray, Duane Bannock, Debby Fahnholz, Del Lopez, Joe Donahue 2. APPROVAL OF AGENDA The agenda was approved as written. 3. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Dale Sandahl MOVED to approve the minutes as written. Jack Castimore SECONDED the motion. The minutes were approved as written. 4. PERSONS SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD None. 5. DIRECTOR'S REPORT Kayo McGillivray reported that the summer rec program had 281 kids signed up this year. The softball tournament held last weekend was number 8 and the last one of the season. Last Saturday was the industry salute at Leif Hansen Park. Parks and Rec supplied all the ports potties. The greenhouse has arrived. Its construction is a little more involved than what they had initially expected. Council appropriated funding last night for gas, electric, and water lines to be installed. The wellness program is now under way. All city employees are able Parks & Rec Commission September 7, 1995 Page 1 to use the Rec center at half price. So far there are about 15 people involved. The racquetball floors are all refinished and look really good. The outfit that they purchased their product from this year virtually guaranteed they would not have the same problems they had before. The Parks and Recreation Department is still trying to get mowing and liming done with the few people that are left, weather permitting. 6. OLD BUSINESS A. Restrooms - Kayo reported that the beach restrooms are finished and have already had some minor vandalism. He stated that one of the Council members had recommended putting up plywood and banding the restrooms for the winter season to help prevent vandalism during the winter months. Jack Castimore stated he felt that it would be a shame to see these new facilities destroyed without trying to do something. Dale Sandahl MOVED to approach Council with the suggestion of closing them up for the winter months, if not with plywood, then with some other material. Jack Castimore SECONDED the motion. The vote was unanimous. Duane Bannock stated he would approach Council at the next meeting. B. Fountain - Kayo reported that the fountain has been repaired using rock and concrete. Dale stated that it looks very nice. 7. NEW BUSINESS A. Lions Club Request - Del Lopez from the Kenai Lions Club introduced Joe Donahue, who drew up the Lions Club plans. The Lions Club would like to make some improvements to the city trail behind the Oilers parking lot and add disabled access parking to the Oilers Park. He stated a little bit of the Oilers parking would be taken for handicapped parking. The Lions propose putting in a paved trail to a viewing area that would overlook the golf course. They also propose adding some picnic tables and barbecue pits. This would allow wheelchair access to most of the trail. The Lions will be able to provide some funding and manpower and will assist in building picnic tables, but they need assistance in the engineering and estimates on paving, etc. Jack Castimore asked if the project could be done in phases. Joe responded that it had been discussed. This would be a less expensive alternative, but the barbecue pits would have to be well planned to have them accessible when the paving eventually gets done. Kayo stated that he had discussed the project with the city engineers and they felt that Parks & Rec Commission September 7, 1995 Page 2 this proposal should be brought before the Commission before being presented to Council. Dale Sandahl MOVED to support the project with the condition that it remain a multiple use area. Jack Castimore SECONDED the motion. Joe Donahue commented that they had discussed putting designing half the tables to be wheelchair accessible. A roll call vote was taken and was unanimously in favor of the project. Kayo stated to the Commission that there is one member of the Commission who has missed the last five meetings. He asked if anyone knew what was going on with him. 8. CORRESPONDENCE None. 9. INFORMATION Jack Castimore asked about the proposed hockey rink, if it would be a city owned facility and who would be responsible for upkeep and maintenance if the bond is passed. Duane Bannock stated that it would be considered a city owned facility and would very likely be the responsibility of the Parks and Rec department. Jack asked if anyone had addressed where the funds were going to come from to cover these costs. Duane stated that this had not been addressed as far as he was aware. 10. ADJOURNMENT Jack Castimore MOVED to adjourn. Kelly Gifford SECONDED the motion. The meeting was adjourned at 8:15 p.m. Respectfully submitted by: Debby J.

Chairman Walker asked if anyone in the general public wishing to speak to this item. Seeing and hearing none, Chairman Walker brought item back to Commission. Goeke asked Mr. Springer for clarification of driveway into lot. Mr. Springer clarified location of lot. Goeke asked if Norman would go all the way through the lot. Mr. Springer stated an individual bought the land with the no trespassing signs, approximately 5 acres, and put a house in middle of land. Mr. Springer stated he didn't believe that he intends on subdividing at any point. Even if he did, he would not put the street through because it would be directly in line with his house. Goeke clarified that Norman would not come to Lawton at any time. Springer agreed. Kevin Walker added comment that on the Kenai Peninsula Borough Plat that Integrity Survey group had checked off on the use section residential, agricultural, recreational, and commercial. I would like to note the zoning of this is RS2 at this time. No further comments, Chairman Walker called for vote. VOTE: Werner-Quade Yes Mahurin Yes Goecke Yes Walker Yes Glick Yes MOTION PASSED. 6.

Planning & Zoning Commission --Minutes October 13, 1995 Page 2 MOTION SECONDED BY KAREN MAHURIN. Chairman Walker asked for additional staff comment. Mr. Springer stated none. Chairman Walker asked for public comment. None noted back to Commission for comment. Werner-Quade asked if people were going to be living in the residence along with providing a daycare center. Ms. Bass responded no. Werner-Quade further clarified business hours and Ms. Bass responded hours will likely be 6:45 a.m. to 6:15 p.m. Mahurin asked if any calls from neighbors in response to permit. Mr. Springer advised he received a call from a competitor in daycare business and he was interested in whether they would be required to comply with fire inspections and fire code requirements. City Fire Marshall advised they would be required to comply with his regulations. Ms. Mahurin asked the Bass how many children they expected to have at the center. Ms. Bass advised they should be licensed for 42. Ms. Mahurin asked if they would have outdoor play equipment. Ms. Bass stated that was the intent. No further comments, Chairman Walker called for vote: VOTE: Mahurin Yes Goecke Yes Walker Yes Glick Yes Werner-Quade Yes MOTION PASSED. 7. NEW BUSINESS a. Memo requesting second November meeting date be changed. Chairman Walker stated Commission asked to move meeting to November 21, 1995. Open for discussion. Karen Mahurin stated she understood that the city does not like to cancel meeting; however, the 22nd would have been the night before Thanksgiving and since the City Council chose to meet that night, and she would personally like to see meeting Planning & Zoning Commission --Minutes October 13, 1995 Page 3 cancelled for that week. Teresa Werner-Quade stated she wouldn't mind cancelling the meeting if there is not a lot of information that needs to be heard by the Commission and that the commission may be able to wait until closer to date to see how many items need to come before the Commission. Kevin Walker stated that he believed the Commission may not have a meeting due to lack of quorum; however, does not believe under code a meeting may be cancelled even if that was the preference. Mandated by code to have meetings. Mahurin stated it appeared to her that the City Council cancelled the P&Z meeting for that night unless we choose to meet somewhere else. Walker stated they are not cancelling it instead they are asking us to change our meeting place or day. Councilman Smalley stated the reason why the meeting was changed was because of the Alaska Municipal League Conference during the council's regular meeting time. Smalley informed the council that it was during P&Z's normal meeting time. The attempt was to facilitate this body if they want to hold that Wednesday meeting. Not an unusual request. Request to facilitate the body if they so chose so the meeting date could be advertised in the paper. Feels Mr. Walker correct that the meeting would have to be called because of lack of quorum or if it lacked an agenda. Chairman Walker noted that in the letter a person is requesting to be present at the November 22nd meeting for presentation. Mr. Goecke stated she requested by the original memorandum to be heard at the November 8th meeting. Mr. Glick stated that since the council had changed their meeting that would extend her time to be in Kenai. Mr. Glick stated he personally did not have a problem with a meeting on the 21 st. Ms. Werner-Quade stated that for that particular week she would prefer a meeting on the 21 st because of the Thanksgiving holiday. Chairman Walker asked for motion. TERESA WERNER-QUADE MOVED TO CHANGED THE REGULAR SCHEDULED MEETING OF NOVEMBER 22, 1995 TO NOVEMBER 21, 1995. MOTION SECONDED BY CARL GLICK. Chairman Walker asked for further discussion. None, called for vote. VOTE: Goecke Yes Walker Yes Glick Yes Planning & Zoning Commission --Minutes October 13. 1995 Page 4 Werner-Quade Yes Mahurin No MOTION PASSED. 8. OLD BUSINESS 9. CODE ENFORCEMENT ITEMS 10. REPORTS a. City Council Councilman Smalley advised that regarding Ordinance 1660-95--Rezone of Lots 3 & 4, Block 8, Shaginoff Subdivision there was a difference of opinion regarding interpretation of the map. Councilman Smalley advised he did not vote on the ordinance due to the fact that he had not been present when the person presented to the council. The city stated by letter that it is their interpretation that this area is more prone to commercial growth and their interpretation of the map that in the future there may be zoning changes along the Spur Highway corridor. Councilman Smalley reported on the City Council Agenda of September 6, 1995. Several speakers presented to the council. The shore fishery leases will be taken care of by the new code. There was a United Way presentation by video after which the city decided to participate in a matching program not to exceed $2,000 (.50 per dollar donated). Mr. Huff spoke to council about his concerns regarding ATVs. Mr. Huff stated he felt their was a safety factor and the other concern being damage to landscaping caused by them. Council decided to hold hearings this fall to review the ordinances covering the use of snowmachines, ATVs, etc. within the city limits. Right now use of vehicles is legal under certain criteria. Mr. Crocket spoke to the council that the council consider running water and sewer lines to the canneries. Concern from DEC that the canneries have waste water disposal available for them. At this time there are not revenues available from the city nor any expected from the state in the near future. Mr. Robinson came to council asking to terminate his contract early with the city due to unforeseen circumstances. The council decided it was in Mr. Robinson's best interest since he was a good client with the city and he is looking in the future at continuing this project allowed Mr. Robinson out of the lease at no penalty to him. Mr. Hall spoke to the council concerning lots in Inlet Woods. These are buildable lots however are approximately $7500 away from utilities and he wanted to arrange the possibility of trading these lots for lots that are involved in litigation because the lots in litigation have utilities. The city informed Mr. Hall that litigation is continuing and could not consider his proposal. Ms. Mahurin questioned what it means that he was $7500 short on utilities. Councilman Smalley clarified that they are Planning & Zoning Commission --Minutes October 13, 1995 Page 5 a lot or so away from utilities and to run utilities to the lots would cost approximately $7500 per lot and clarified Mr. Hall's proposal to the committee. Ms. Werner-Quade questioned if he was referring to McLane properties and that she thought that litigation had been settled. Councilman Smalley stated that the litigation is in the appeals process. Council passed Ordinance 1659-95 that would provide protection to city that offset amounts owed to contractors by the city against amounts owed by contractors for delinquent taxes. Ordinance 1660-95 passed. Mr. Smalley directed attention to the document in the commission's packets. Ordinance 1665-95 was a situation that had to be dealt with that evening to meet time frame deadlines. Much discussion because it had to do with projects that will be ongoing in the congregant housing area; however, it passed. Fuel tax issue was dropped. Resolution 95-50 passed. At this time city has no control over gambling and gaming within the city regardless to city action the state's decision is binding. Pushing to get legislation to allow the city to have control. Representative Navarre has a bill in Juneau that is still in committee dealing with this issue. Transfer of funds for library for some electrical work. Airport pole garage for the airport manager and assistant manager's vehicles on the end of the building. Karen Mahurin asked what a pole garage was. Councilman Smalley stated basically outside walls and a roof and open on the end. Relatively quick construction; however, not cheap costing $27,484. Kevin Walker asked what the necessity for the garage was. Smalley explained to provide coverage for airport manager and assistant manager's vehicles because at times they have been snowed in and problems in the past. Mr. Walker stated that Carrs does sell shovels for $7.95. Karen Mahurin clarified that the garage was for city vehicles. Parks and Rec had in the past put in budget to purchase a greenhouse and it was purchased. It was supposed to have been put together in-house; however, will be contracted. In addition they have to run electrical line and put a heater in the greenhouse. No time this fall to erect it with manpower and the choice was to let building sit in storage until spring and then erect it with city employers. This would have meant a loss of a growing season. Council transferred an additional $13,600 for the erection of the greenhouse and to run power and the heating element. Ron Goecke asked where the greenhouse would be constructed and Mr. Smalley stated that it would be behind the city shop on city property. Kevin Walker asked if water and sewer already there. Councilman Smalley stated he didn't know. Under New Business, the council said no on the Historic Preservation Grant Application. Council wasn't sure exactly how much money the city would be responsible for as the application says may be responsible for up to 100 percent and may request reimbursement on funds. Everything would be paid out of pocket initially. There was reluctance. Not a dead issue. Karen Mahurin asked for clarification on the grant. Smalley stated the grant application was for $6,000 to take care of work ongoing in Old Town. Kathy Woodford advised she believed it was for signage as Planning & Zoning Commission --Minutes October 13, 1995 Page 6 phase two of the survey currently being conducted by Preservation North. Mr. Smalley advised that on the application that signage was not necessarily covered but not specifically stated. Karen Mahurin asked if the maximum amount of the grant was $6,000. Kathy Woodford stated that was the Historic Committee's recommendation and that was a ball park figure. Mahurin clarified with Councilman Smalley that it is her understanding that $27,000 approved for a pole garage, and $13,000 for a greenhouse but there was a problem with $6,000 for signage for Old Town. Councilman responded that problem was the council felt that city didn't want to be responsible for 100 percent and that council didn't have the information that was needed. Not a dead issue. Council had never received copies of the sign and Councilman Smalley shared his with them. Stated the council was pleased, but without clarification, they said no. Kathy Woodford stated that grant was for additional signage, not just the one large sign. Kevin Walker added that the pole garage actually adds up to $34,968 and the greenhouse is $24,000 not $13,000. Councilman Smalley agreed stating that the $13,000 was an additional amount. Kevin Walker noted that C2 showed unanimous approval. Councilman Smalley continued that there was approval to change the regulation at the airport for parking in front of the terminal. This was a rewriting of the ordinance based on the recommendation of the Airport Commission. Original ordinance forbid a person to park in front row and leave their vehicle unattended. The regulation that passed allows individuals to leave vehicles to enter the terminal to arrange transportation needs. Council had discussion on what the intent of the regulation was and to make sure that flexibility in regulation. Special Use Permit by Midnight Sun Reservation Central was set aside for reconsideration at the next meeting. Council had lengthy discussion on the fact that should this permit be approved the Midnight Sun Reservation Central is a private business that arranges hotel/motel, bed and breakfast reservations within the city and outside of the city. Discussion that a council person was uncomfortable having a facility that was in direct competition with the Visitor's Center. Vote was three to three but will come back to council. Council looked at goals and objectives and made some modifications. Some have been achieved, some being long term, and added some including the animal control shelter. At least possibly setting aside funds for some design work. Councilman Smalley stated the water truck was an item of discussion. Stated he had had discussions with city personnel outside of meetings during the day and was informed that the truck had been in use. Asked if it was in use in a capacity which suggested that it could be safe if the tank were taken off or the tank were reduced in size. Other ways that it could be utilized if the city decided not to sell it at auction. Someone indicated they thought it might have been used for watering plants during the summer and it had not. The use was in front of the police station for compacting Planning & Zoning Commission --Minutes October 13, 1995 Page 7 the hole. Had a lot of discussion because of the information that had been brought to the council that it was not safe, it was older, okay mechanically but not safe and that is why it was replaced. Other discussion stated it was not safe because it was an emergency vehicle and at the speeds it might have to respond in emergency situations with water is what made it unsafe. Speed was never indicated during discussions at budget time. Another entity came to the city and wanted to either have the truck donated or to have a low purchase price to use this water truck on a race track on the peninsula within the city. Part of that decision was "I can just picture this truck that the city donated going down the road and rolling over on some car with a mother and children in it because it was unsafe to be on the road." This was brought to the attention of council and Councilman Smalley asked council why the truck was being used. Stated it either needs to be modified where it is safe, reduce the tank, remove the tank, park the truck. Public Works is to complete a study and come back to council with some recommendations. Councilman Smalley stated the council directed that the truck should remain parked until they receive the information from Public Works. Councilman Smalley stated he made a recommendation that the new restroom facilities below the Catholic Church and at Cunningham be removed during the winter and put plywood on outside and then banding them as a deterrent to vandalism. Public Works is to look into this. Recommendation also received from Parks and Rec. Councilman brought up a concern about vehicles in Old Town behind the pawn shop that may be derelict by city definition. Teresa Werner-Quade under Agenda B, 3 asked if there was any mention of the bike path. Councilman responded that technically bike paths are not legal pathways for these vehicles. Werner-Quade stated that since they are redoing the entire highway and there was an old bike trail she is wondering if an upgraded bike trail included in the plan. Smalley responded that it is his understanding that the 8 foot wide bike trail is to be extended to Swires. Continuing, Councilman Smalley provided some history for the bike path and that the council had considered was continuing from Swires Road following the water and sewer line out to Thompson Park. In the future, that may be a possibility. Werner-Quade commented that being a past member of the Airport Commission that it is a positive step that they are getting the pole garage because they may need to respond very quickly and do not have time to shovel snow. Agreed that the cost may be high but there is a legitimate need. Councilman Smalley stated that it may not be a consolation but there is airport money that can only be used for airport projects. Werner-Quade added a comment regarding New Business, item 6, that she would encourage the council to support the Historic Preservation Grant for the signage. That the grant was reviewed by P&Z Commission and the commission was in favor of the grant. Councilman Smalley reiterated that at the meeting none of the council members had seen copies of the Bunny Swan painting of the sign and that the council was just seeking clarification. He feels confidant it will Planning & Zoning Commission --Minutes October 13, 1995 Page 8 probably pass once clarification is received. Mr. Brown, the Finance Director, had informed the council that this was not an uncommon procedure with grants that basically the money is expended and then reimbursed. Chairman Walker asked for further comments or questions. Councilman Smalley added that the city had received the resignation of the Finance Director, Mr. Brown. He stated that Mr. Brown has taken a position out of state for another community and he will be greatly missed. Smalley added that the overall picture of the community which the P&Z Commission is also partly responsible for but from the finance position, the city is a community of 7,100 people with only a million and a half indebtedness attached. Teresa Werner-Quade added that Mr. Brown had also did an excellent job as acting city manager during the interim before Mr. Manninen began with the city. Smalley stated that the resignation was submitted last Friday. Ron Goecke asked if that was the reason for the executive session. Councilman Smalley explained that the executive session is placed on the agenda when advertised in the paper because it had been questioned if you could have an executive session if you haven't stated so in your agenda. Kevin Walker advised he had one question in regard to the comments of the use of off road vehicles along the highways, city streets, etc. Was there any discussion entered into at this point of time addressing where people might have some form of egress to move these vehicles out into the areas that they may be ridden? Councilman responded no and may never be addressed because that is not a city concern. Walker agreed except that a tremendous number of residents have these kinds of vehicles and it seems a shame that we totally exclude these vehicles from our city. Smalley responded that the city hasn't and Walker stated that it seemed like the city was headed in that direction. Councilman Smalley stated that the concern was brought to council and it has been heard more than once so what is being done is that there will be hearings for people to come in and voice their concern before any kind of change in zoning regulations or ordinances. Walker stated he would hope that any kind of zoning change would pass the P&Z Commission and that he had personal concerns. Walker stated that growing up in Kenai that use had always been allowed and at one time totally legal with licenses and now they are not. He continued that he knows literally hundreds of families who have snowmachines, bikes, etc. and that they use city streets or sides of streets as egress points into the swamps in order to ride. Walker stated he would not recommend the city being a small community preclude that use. Councilman Smalley recommends watching the Clarion for any hearing dates and that he would want ample time for public comment before he would support any changes. Kevin Walker stated he didn't believe the safety issue as the city has had lots of deaths on bicycles, sleds, and how many deaths from motor vehicles such as cars. Smalley reminded that on the sled deaths that signs were put up forbidding the use of sledding in that area. Planning & Zoning Commission --Minutes October 13, 1995 Page 9 b. Borough Planning Chairman Walker stated minutes in packet and if there are any comments or questions they can be brought up at the next meeting. c. Administration 11. PERSONS PRESENT NOT SCHEDULED Gus Rodes--First item about the water truck and the safety. The Federal and State Department of Transportation have very stringent rules concerning the use of vehicles, especially tankers, on the road. The second is OSHA also has restrictions and very specific rules considering tankers. If that tanker is unsafe under either one of those sets of rules, it should be scrapped. They never did say why it was unsafe according to the first chapter and verse of the law. Councilman Smalley answered that to his knowledge it does pass those regulations. It was determined to be unsafe by the users of it; they felt uncomfortable with the ratios and the formulas that existed when that tank was full. They also felt it was unsafe because they don't have anybody in the Fire Department that is a "trained truck driver" to drive that kind of transmission. All of our fire vehicles basically have automatic transmissions. There is training that drivers receive to make them "trained to use these type transmissions" but no one at the Fire Department really felt comfortable and they have driven it for years. Mr Rodes continued, when Hall put in that subdivision at Birch Street after it was done some of the lots were not going to be hooked up to the water and sewer lines. They were going to have their own water and septic tanks. Mr. Rodes stated he might be wrong but he doesn't think that any place with that dense of housing in a platted subdivision should be allowed to have septic tanks and that they should be on central water and sewage. He has seen a lot of subdivisions over the years that have polluted the ground water to such an extent that 30 years later you can't dig down a few feet without running into sewage, for example Hamilton Acres in Fairbanks. The third thing Mr. Rodes asked was if anything has been done to form a service area for bluff erosion along the inlet. Councilman Smalley responded no. The city has come into the possession of some cement slabs. The idea being that they would be laid up against the bluff to help prevent the erosion that is occurring, at least the water erosion. The slabs were donated to the city in a deal with the Harbor Commission. It will probably cost a couple hundred thousand dollars along the way. This will involve getting a barge, crane, and then bring them up during the course of the winter and stack them against the bluff. Unsure of date for starting the project. Mr. Rodes stated a service area concept would be good because the people who are paying for it, even if a small percentage, would want to make sure the job is right. One of the reasons Planning & Zoning Commission --Minutes October 13, 1995 Page 10 for erosion is foot traffic on bluff. Is there is plan from the Planning Commission to change that or put up barricades. Chairman Walker responded no. Councilman Smalley stated that council had discussed that option and that at one time there were signs. During the heavy salmon run there is a lot of traffic. The police department have gone over and asked people to please drive down. Private property owners have their land posted in an attempt to prohibit people from travelling up and down the bluff. Mr. Rodes asked about building a stairway down there. Smalley responded there were no plans to do that at this time. 12. INFORMATION ITEMS a. Water Tanker Memo dated August 24, 1995 b. Ordinance 1660-95--Rezone of Lots 3 & 4, Block 8, Shaginoff Subdivision 13. COMMISSION COMMENTS & QUESTIONS Karen Mahurin stated she shares Chair's concern about the off road vehicles and having access to swamps, etc. Would request that when dates for hearing are set that P&Z receive notification of the hearing. Also a concern over the Historic Preservation Grant. Mahurin stated she finds it incongruous that council held them up over $6,000 considering all the other money that was spent that night. Maybe it was a lack of communication from the Historic Board and maybe we can help with that. She will be at the meeting November 21 st. Carl Glick in reference to Mr. Rodes' idea about the stairway, there was a stairway in the 60's that was built and it went with the rest of the erosion. It was by the church. The city had spent the money to develop it and it lasted a few years. Teresa Werner-Quade regarding Mr. Rodes' concern about the bluff erosion, that the city may want to check with the people who did the Russian River bank restoration. They did an extensive project there to restore the bank. It consists of wiring and rubber mesh. Wherever it is in place, there is no access. Another concern directed to the Chair with regards to a member of the P&Z Commission, Mr. Toppa. Wondering how many meetings a can member miss? Asked if Mr. Toppa called to advise he would me absent at this meeting. Ms. Kebschull advised he had not called the city offices. Werner-Quade would like to know how many absences is too many. Chairman Walker responded that that is a code item and he will research it and report back. Werner-Quade stated the commission may want to look into what the code states in response to junk vehicles. Werner-Quade continued stating she knows that the city has no method to discard of junk vehicles but may want to look at wording of the code for clarification. Last, would like to wish the best of luck to Charlie Brown as he leaves the City of Kenai. Planning & Zoning Commission --Minutes October 13, 1995 Page 11 Chairman Walker stated that he felt the entire commission echoed those sentiments of wishing Mr. Brown well. He has done a tremendous job for the City of Kenai. Councilman Smalley noticed a great deal of city trucks hauling of dirt, grass, etc. into Old Town and dumping it over the bluff and has had several calls from citizens in reference to this activity. Stated his recollection is that when the council toured that area there was a storm drain that had excavated itself over the years and assumes that is where the material is being hauled. Mr. Springer advised Mr. Smalley he was correct. Mr. Springer stated that it had been explained to him that there was a storm drain main line that had broken at one time and prior to repair had excavated itself through the recent rain. 14.

Also present: Councilwoman Linda Swarner; Bob Frates, Parks and Rec; and, Marilyn Kebschull, Administrative Assistant. 2. APPROVAL OF AGENDA Susan Hett asked to remove items b and c from Approval of Minutes. Susan Hett asked if anyone had any other changes or additions to the agenda. Agenda approved as read. 3. APPROVAL OF MINUTES July 11, 1995 Chairperson Hett asked if anyone had any changes or additions. Discussion as to why Council minutes included. Members agreed the information was appreciated and asked if Parks and Rec minutes could also be included. Also requested that Beautification minutes be included with the Parks and Rec packet. Marilyn Kebschull noted that requests would be accommodated. Minutes not formally approved. 4. PERSONS SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD 5. 61-13 BUSINESS 6. NEW BUSINESS a. Bulbs Kenai Beautification Committee September 12, 1995 Page 1 Susan Hett stated the commission had talked about bulbs for Bob's flower bed and that Jeanene was to purchase bulbs. Open discussion involving bulbs for next year. Jeanene Benedict brought bulbs she had purchased for $53.00 to the meeting and shared information about the various types she had chosen. She stated some of them were expensive, as much as $7.00 per bag but that they were quality bulbs. In addition, she purchased bulb dust which is supposed to protect the bulbs from insects. Jeanene stated she had attempted to get a discount but instead had been given a free bag of bulbs. Members debated when to plant the bulbs. In addition, her daughter is sending some peony roots so need to decide where to plant them. Susan Heft asked if we need to get more bulbs and Bob Frates stated he felt there would be a need for additional bulbs. General consensus that it may be too wet to plant and that it may be best to wait a few weeks. Bob Frates wanted to know if they could be planted inside. Susan Hett stated it is necessary for bulbs to be chilled for several months. Marilyn Dimmick stated that there is a catalog selling baskets to plant bulbs in; however, she is not sure if they would be compatible with Alaska's climate. Ms. Dimmick also stated that there were inexpensive bulbs available at Fred Meyer now and that perhaps the committee should consider purchasing some of them to try. Susan Hett suggested this was a trial with the bulbs and that the committee should try various types and spread them around in a variety of beds and see what happens. Sylvia Johnson noted that she had just taken a class with Boyd Schaffer who says don't wait, just try it. A Marilyn Dimmick moved that the committee spend a little money on inexpensive bulbs to see how they perform in comparison with the more expensive bulbs. Seconded by Sylvia Johnson. Passed unanimously. Committee proceeded with open discussion. Susan Hett said before planting someone should check with Merle Dean Feldman to see where she would recommend. Susan Hett asked if they recommended bone meal to be placed around the bulbs. Jeanene Benedict said they didn't mention bone meal and offered information about bulb dust. Nina Selby read bulb instructions. "Apply to give complete coverage when plants are about 6 inches high and repeat at 7 to 10 day intervals. Not for the bulbs but the plants." Linda Swamer wondered about the plants in the large circular pots. Discussion regarding when to remove the plants from those pots. b. Winter Meeting Schedule Susan Hett stated that two decisions needed to be made by the committee. First, whether or not to continue the meeting time at 5:30 p.m. and second, which months should they meet or not meet for the winter. Kenai Beautification Committee September 12, 1995 Page 2 Discussion on meeting time. Bob Frates stated 1 or 1:30 p.m. was more convenient for him but it is only once a month. Susan Heft stated she thought Linda Overturf was the only one who could not attend during the day. Nina Selby stated 5:30 p.m. was fine for her. Linda Swarner stated 5:30 better for council members. General consensus was that the 5:30 p.m. time should be continued. Susan Heft stated one more meeting should be held to determine goals and objectives for year and a review of the season or would the committee prefer to wait and do that in January. Ms. Hett suggested an informal work session could be held next month. Bob Frates agreed with the idea to keep it informal and have a discussion instead of a meeting. Susan Hett stated the committee could hold an informal work session in October and hold no meetings in November or December. Marilyn Dimmick moved that the committee hold a work session in October and then adjourn until January. Motion seconded by Nina Selby. Motion passed unanimously. Susan Heft stated she would draft a letter to the Council requesting the committee's decision be approved. Bob Frates recommended that committee members have a list of their ideas before the next meeting. Susan Heft reminded the committee that they are an advisory board to Parks and Rec. and to keep that in mind when planning. Discussion followed regarding the committee's goals and objectives and role in the city. Jeanene Benedict stated that the Beautification Committee is just a committee of Parks and Rec. and not that we advise them but we have to ask them if we may or may not do certain things. Susan Hett stated the committee's focus has really changed as time has gone on. Not into developing but into maintaining and maybe we need to change our definition in the city. Susan stated she didn't know if that could be done. Nina Selby asked if the committee would know if they could do anything in old town when they meet in October. Susan Hett said they could discuss that during the October work session. C. Kenai Signs Bob Frates stated that Trinity used to grow the flowers for the city and since they haven't done it it has been difficult to find flowers to plant. He had spoken with the proprietor of the Sterling Greenhouse and that they were willing to place an order for and grow the plants for the Kenai Airport sign. Mr. Frates stated this was just a recommendation and that he didn't feel it would cost any more. Kenai Beautification Committee September 12, 1995 Page 3 Question asked by Jeanene Benedict if using the Sterling Greenhouse would be in place of the city greenhouse. Bob Frates stated it is his intention to grow some plants. Discussion regarding size of plants used in the sign. Nina Selby wanted to know if small plants were always used. Susan Heft stated that Merle Dean Feldman did have some medium sized plants but not enough. Bob Frates stated the committee should keep Merle Dean in mind for future plants. Nina Selby questioned if a motion was needed. Susan Heft advised that since the committee was holding a work session in October that they couldn't vote on it then. Jeanene Benedict stated she would probably place an order before October and Bob Frates said that would probably be fairly soon. Nina Selby moved that Bob Frates, Parks and Rec, look into cost of obtaining plants from the Sterling Greenhouse. Motion seconded by Jeanene Benedict. Discussion followed regarding the orange marigolds. Jeanene Benedict asked for description of the marigolds. Were they yellow or gold. Sylvia Johnson stated that they had turned to mush and wondered if it was just the orange colored plants. General consensus was that the summer weather had had an influence on the plants. Motion passed unanimously. Linda Swarner commented about the airport sign and wondered about planting something in the sign to cover the dirt. Bob Frates stated that access was needed to maintain the plants. General discussion was that it may be worthwhile to try planting some ground cover that wouldn't be harmed during maintenance. 7. REPORTS a. Chairperson Susan Heft reported to the committee that volunteers had spent 228 hours for planting. No accounting was kept for weeding. It is Ms. Hett's recommendation that next year volunteers be encouraged to keep track of all hours worked so that committee can show council total hours volunteered. Susan Heft reported that a small nursery has been started that the city plot with all kinds of perennials. She also reported that the volunteer reception was a success. The Beautification Awards were presented at the Chamber Meeting. Kenai Beautification Committee September 12, 1995 Page 4 Business people were not there, the Kipps and Ron Yamamoto. But, Peggy Arness did accept her award and she had tears in her eyes. Ms. Hess stated she had put letter in the newspaper to the editor thanking other individuals. Suggestion might be to develop new categories next year and our own judging. Jeanene Benedict felt that the way it was done was a good way to do it and one of the most successful ever. Susan Hett also stated that the Fire Department island is supposed to be dug up and will need to start all over again. Discussion as to why (too many weeds) and who is supposed to do work (Fire Department). Consensus that it was a bad year for weeds. Susan Hett asked Bob Frates if he had heard anymore about the project and he responded no. Susan stated that it could be done in the spring. At approximately 6:10 p.m. Marilyn Dimmick asked if any further business as she needed to leave. No further business noted, Ms. Dimmick left. Discussion continued on Fire Department plot. Bob Frates wanted to know what would be done with the flowers that were dug up. Susan Heft suggested that they be stored in the nursery or put off until spring. Jeanene Benedict said if plants are dug up in the spring it may interrupt the seeding process. b. Parks & Rec Bob Frates reported that it is the end of the season and they are winding down and working back inside. Mr. Frates extended a thank you to the Beautification Committee for a good job and planning. He stated that they are now busy planning for Christmas decorations, hauling in boxes. Plan for Street Department to hang the decorations. Sylvia Johnson asked about the three dead trees by the service station. Ms. Johnson stated they would look nice with lights on them. Bob Frates stated they were put there by a businessman in the strip mail and that they had died. Susan Hett asked Bob Frates what he felt had happened with the flower boxes this year. Discussion ensued about weather, no truck watering, fertilizer, and if lobelia were planted. Mr. Frates stated that the lobelia were planted; however, they hadn't done very well. Bob Frates stated he wanted to touch on the new greenhouse but saw that Linda Swarner had that information in her report. Jeanene Benedict asked Mr. Frates if it would be helpful to his department for committee members to prune and fertilize roses in the spring. Sylvia Johnson stated that Boyd Schaffer recommends to stake Kenai Beautification Committee September 12, 1995 Page 5 and wrap roses now and leave them alone in the spring. Bob Frates stated that the roses were fertilized in May the only place pruned was in Leif Hanson Park. Susan Hett stated she didn't see why the committee couldn't do it. Bob Frates stated that Karen did it early and that he may have someone on staff in the spring who can do it. Susan Hett stated she understood that the committee was welcome to prune and Bob Frates stated yes. Linda Swarner asked if the rose garden by the fountain was ever redone. Discussion held as to why it had to be redone and Bob Frates stated they had removed the rocks to eliminate problems. Susan Hett asked if Parks and Rec had looked into any kind of moose protection. Linda Swamer stated that Kenai River Nursery has netting. C. Council Linda Swarner reported that council approved expenditure for the contract for the greenhouse after considerable discussion on the cost. The council had thought the greenhouse was going to be done in-house. But the yes votes prevailed. Jeanene Benedict questioned why the cost was so high. Linda Swarner explained the cost included construction and heating. Bob Frates stated that he figured it at $26.00 per square foot and that the lights were obtained from the Police Department. Susan Heft wondered when the greenhouse would be completed. Bob Frates stated they were hoping to have it complete this fall. 8. QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS Jeanene Benedict stated that a request be made that the company complete the greenhouse this fall. Jeanene Benedict asked if the commission should send a thank you to the Police Department or consider it a silent thank you. Sylvia Johnson commented that there was no trash after the big picnic a couple weeks ago. 9. ADJOURNMENT Next meeting scheduled as a work session on October 10, 1995 at 5:30 p.m. There being no further business the meeting was adjourned at approximately 6:30 p.m. Respectfu ly submitted: > eJu_ L', 4�_ Marilyn Kebschull Administrative Assistant Kenai Beautification Committee September 12, 1995 Page 6 D-7 MEMORANDUM TO: Kenai City Council THROUGH: Carol L. Freas, City Clerk THROUGH: Dan Morris, Acting City Manager :ice THROUGH: Keith Kornelis, Public Works Director FROM: Marilyn Kebschull, Administrative Assistant Planning,- ', DATE: September 14, 1995 SUBJECT: HISTORIC BOARD COMMITTEE HISTORIC PRESERVATION GRANT FOR: City Council Meeting of September 20, 1995 In response to the Council's request, the Historic Board Committee offers the following information regarding the grant for signs. The grant is proposed for 30 signs at a cost of approximately $200.00 each. Signs are intended to be placed in the Old Town Historic District. The Board is hoping to enlist the assistance of the city maintenance crew to install the signs. Signs are one of the most prominent visual elements of a town. When well designed and placed appropriately, signs help people identify historic places, allow people to embrace past history, and learn more about their community. The Townsite Historic Board would like to develop and implement a signage program for the Old Town area as a visual representation of the Townsite Historic Survey that is currently being completed. The Board would like to extend the information obtained through the survey to the general public through a signage program where people cannot only see the results of the survey, they will be able to do so on location. The plan is to place signs on individual historic landmarks with information pertaining to the date the building was erected, original occupants, original use, and any other pertinent information. As soon as the survey is completed and presented to you, we will have a list of the proposed sites upon which the signs will be erected for your approval. The Historic Board Committee hopes the City Council will support this request. C:\WPDOCS\TSHBOARD\SIGN.MEM E-1 AGENDA RENAI CITY COUNCIL - REGULAR MEETING SEPTEMBER 6, 1995 7:00 P.M.

Best introduced himself and stated he resides at 304 Diane Lane, Soldotna and was appearing before council representing Kendall and Thad Carlson. Best referred to information included in the packet and stated the Carlsons agreed with the recommendations suggested by Manninen in his memorandum of August 23. Best added, the Carlson application would come before council at a later date, after advertising, etc. would be completed. Councilwoman Monfor suggested directing Administration to proceed with the process of advertising the availability of leases. Attorney Graves clarified the procedure, i.e. advertise the availability, P&Z Commission, Harbor Commission and Council consideration. Williams questioned the information in the Kim Howard memo (in the packet) regarding the re -lease of shore fishery leases. Finance Director Brown suggested the present leases have a right to re -lease, but this one (Carlsons) has not yet been leased. Attorney Graves reviewed the code and the past requirement for a six percent market value to determine the lease rate. Council concurred to proceed with the advertising, etc. in order to go forward with the shore fishery leases. B-2. Lynne Johnson - United Way Presentation/Video. Council and audience first watched a short video which discussed the United Way roll in the community. Johnson explained the Kenai Peninsula United Way has a local board of directors that decide where and how the money raised is divided. Johnson referred to the information included in the packet which listed those agencies on the Peninsula supported by United Way. Johnson requested council consider, as an employee incentive, the City of Kenai matching donations by city employees, fifty cents on a dollar with a cap of not -to -exceed $2,000. Johnson added, the money raised stays within the community. Councilwoman Monfor asked if the city had a payroll deduction program. Finance Director Brown answered yes. Councilman asked if other municipalities in the Borough have agreed to a similar KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 6, 1995 PAGE 3 matching program. Johnson answered she will be making similar presentations to them. Johnson added, the 1993 campaign brought in $139,000 through matching gifts. Councilman Smalley asked if there would be any difficulties in the city making a lump sum contribution to an organization. Brown answered he did not know of any problems. The city's contribution could be taken out through the payroll system or if proof is shown the contribution was paid individually, the matching contribution could be credited. Councilwoman Swarner asked if there were other organizations the city donates to in lump sum amounts. Brown answered the Boy Scouts, ALPAR, KCHS and the Alternative School. Swarner stated she had a problem with using tax money for matching the donations. Williams stated the city has acted as a pass -through for many of the agencies receiving the funds. They will not be setting a new precedent. They are looking for a matching incentive and choosing who receives donations, etc. is up to the council on an individual basis. Councilman Bannock stated he originally had the same concerns as Swarner in regard to using public money for the match, but came to the conclusion that it is the same as donating to other non- profits. Bannock added, he would support the match program. He also noted he is involved with United Way as a volunteer, however he did not think that would be a conflict. Councilwoman Monfor asked if Johnson would be speaking to the Borough about this program. Johnson answered Mayor Gilman is the 1995 chairperson for the United Way campaign. An in-house campaign will take place at the Borough also. Monfor, referring to the list of agencies receiving funds, noted eight of the agencies touched some area of the Borough population. She felt strongly that the Borough Assembly should receive the same presentation and opportunity to contribute. The people receiving the funds are all Borough citizens. The Borough should be treated like the municipalities. Monfor added she would support the match program in a spirit of partnership, much like the EDD donation of several weeks ago. She hoped the match program would entice employees to contribute. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 6, 1995 PAGE 4 MOTION: Councilman Bannock MOVED to enter into a program where the City of Kenai matches fifty cents on the dollar of contributions made by the City of Kenai employees to the United Way for a sum not - to -exceed $2,000 for this fiscal year. Monfor requested "in a spirit of partnership with other municipal entities" be added. Bannock had no objection. VOTE: Monfor: Yes Smalley: Yes Swarner: No MOTION PASSED. Councilman Bookey SECONDED the motion. Measles: Absent Bannock: Yes Williams: Yes Bookey: Yes B-3. Gene Huff - Use of Off -Road Vehicles Along Highway and City Streets. Mr. Huff introduced himself, stating he resides at 110 Wooded Glen Court in Kenai. Huff referred to his letter which was included in the packet. He stated he was very impressed with the Sterling Highway road upgrade project, but appalled by the destruction along the rights -of -way due to the use of off -road vehicles and motorcycles driving on them. He called DOT and stated his concerns and was told they never received a complaint before. Huff stated his concern that the same may happen to the rights - of -way in Kenai after the highway project is completed and has happened along city streets. Huff reported he has called the Kenai Police a few times. They told him the use of off -road vehicles were not allowed on city streets and where it is semi - legal is the ditches. Huff added, he guessed the police turn their heads when they see off -road vehicles used along the ditches. Huff requested the city elevate the enforcement of its ordinance, including (d) of the ordinance, which states off -road vehicle operation is unlawful "on any city or state road right-of-way that has been landscaped, seeded, or otherwise improved." Huff's KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 6, 1995 PAGE 5 concern is that the newly seeded rights -of -way along the highway upgrade in Kenai will be destroyed like that of the Sterling Highway area. Councilman Smalley stated Huff was not alone in his concerns. The council and Assembly have dealt with similar concerns. The City of Soldotna prohibits the operation of off -road vehicles in the city limits. Smalley stated he doesn't disagree with more effort in enforcing the ordinance, but it is a problem to put a patrolman on enforcing the whole area. Smalley suggested the ordinance be amended to prohibit the use of off -road vehicles in the city. Huff stated the ordinance spoke to the areas of his concern and suggested signs be placed so that the public is aware of the ordinance. Students at the high school have told him they can use the rights -of -way and when they see a patrolman, they drive slower. If they are not wearing a helmet, the police turn their heads or if they stop them, they tell them they shouldn't be driving without a helmet. He is concerned the kids have the message that it is okay to drive off -road vehicles off the streets. Lt. Kohler stated it is allowable to operate an off -road vehicle on the right-of-way as long as the operation of the vehicle is not on a seeded area. Williams stated the council would pledge to support the ordinance and inform the public. Smalley and Bookey agreed. Bookey added he felt strongly about the use of the vehicles and the destruction they cause. Bookey requested DOT be contacted and ask that signs be placed in the city core area. If DOT cannot, have the city sign the area. Williams suggested the code be strengthened and outlaw the use of these types of vehicles in the city if the destruction continues. Smalley agreed to request DOT to sign the area and if they are not willing to do it, the city should. Williams directed Kornelis to contact DOT and request signage along the new area. Williams added, it is council's intent to eliminate the use of off -road vehicles along the improved shoulders of the new road. Huff asked if signs would be placed along the bike path also. Manninen stated he was not certain that it is obvious that the bike trail would not be able to be used by bikes, pedestrians, KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 6, 1995 PAGE 6 three-wheelers, four -wheelers. He was not sure what the state requirements are. Williams stated under the city code, they are not allowed to. Sometimes a deterrent can be added, i.e. gates blocking the path, that will allow bikes to pass through, but not three-wheelers. Councilwoman Monfor stated after listening to the discussion, she wondered why the operation of the off -road vehicles are allowed in the city. Huff added, banning the use of the vehicles in the city would remove any loopholes of the ordinance. Smalley suggested in areas such as Beaver Loop, they could remain legal. Williams suggested an advertisement could be placed in the paper stating the council is seriously considering the outlawing of the vehicles' use in the city and request written comments from the public. Bannock stated he thought banning the use of the vehicles would be dangerous over all. The problem is enforcing the ordinance. Bookey stated he partly agreed with Bannock. He wouldn't have a problem with allowing them in the Beaver Loop area, but does not want them used in the core area. He would like receiving comments from the public. Williams concluded by stating the council is well aware of the problem. They will be watchful, will request DOT to sign the areas, request the police to enforce the ordinance to the fullest extent and modify the ordinance if needed. Monfor suggested Huff write to the legislators and request that drivers of off -road vehicles, etc. must be licensed. B-4. Jim Crocket - Dragnet Fisheries/Water/Sewer Line Request. Mr. Crocket introduced himself and also Milton Hancock who also works for Dragnet Fisheries. Crocket stated they wanted to bring the idea of extending the sewer line along Bridge Access Road forward. They are not looking for immediate relief. They will be discussing the matter with their neighbors along Bridge Access Road and submit a more concrete proposal in the next two to three months. Crocket added, Dragnet Fisheries has been in operation for 17 years. Over that period of time they have employed thousands and paid millions of dollars in payroll. Recently they have had a lot of operational difficulties from the state and federal KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 6, 1995 PAGE 7 regulatory bodies. It is getting increasingly difficult to operate their business without a sewer system. Williams asked if engineering was done for that water and sewer line. Kornelis answered he believed there was one for water, but not for sewer. Williams asked Crockett with the new regulations and concerns of protection of the river, how he sees the future of the now existing program of elimination of waste from the plants? Does he see in the future a situation where the state will require them to handle waste fish products in another manner than how they handle them now. Hancock stated he had not heard anything yet. Crockett added, they feel they will be more highly regulated, but have not heard anything for sure. Williams stated he has been concerned about this. The City of Kodiak had arranged to have a fish meal processing facility. Williams asked if that is something that may happen here and if the processors have discussed the matter. Williams added there are some in the area who have asked the EDD to investigate the cost of such a facility for in this area. Crockett answered they would like to have such a feasibility study done also. B-5. Arthur S. Robinson - Special Use Permit/Kenai City Dock. Mr. Robinson introduced himself and stated his address to be Box 3519, Soldotna. Robinson stated he requested and was granted a special use permit to operate his Ship -to -Shore Tour business for the summer. The permit is to end September 30, 1995. Because of the lack of business, they closed the operation on August 31. Robinson requested to be released from the special use permit from September 1 to 30, 1995. Bookey asked if he intended to come back next year. Robinson answered at this time he does. Robinson added they learned a lot from the operation of the business. They are considering starting earlier next year. Williams stated he was pleased the operation of the business took place and had no reservations in the requested release. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 6, 1995 PAGE 8 MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED that the City of Kenai terminate the lease with Ship to Shore and take the necessary and appropriate steps for the balance of the payment at approximately $287.88 which is stated in Mr. Kornelis' memorandum dated August 31. Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion and requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. B-6. Clint Hall - Inlet Woods Lots Hall explained he owns five lots in Inlet Woods which he acquired through a sale. He purchased 50 of the lots. They have pre -sold five of the lots. The secondary closing never took place and they never committed to build houses on the lots. Now they would like to build five houses in the subdivision, however the lots are a distance away from the main power transformers. They received an estimate that it would cost $7,500 to service electricity to the lots. They did not investigate the costs of telephone and cable to the lots. Instead of letting the lots be idle, they would like to build on them. They are requesting that three of the five lots be deeded back to the developer and take three of the developer's lots (which are in between his lots). They would then be able to get a discount for placing the power to the lots. In the proposed swap, they would have to pay back taxes of approximately $1,800 a lot. This would be more feasible than paying the $7,500 to get the electricity to the lots, plus the telephone and cable. Adding those costs to the lots would make them too expensive. Hall stated he spoke with Attorney Graves about his proposal and is not aware of any consequences it may have to the city. He is asking to do a warranty deed, deeding three of their lots back to the developer and another warranty deed from the developer to him for three of his lots. The city would need to sign a release of interest on the new three lots. His old three lots, which are clear of any liens or liabilities, would be recorded back to the developer. If there are any judgments or anything in that subdivision, they would be automatically attached. This should keep the city in a neutral position. It would give him the opportunity to build on the five lots. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 6, 1995 PAGE 9 Williams stated the city has struggled with this problem for almost nine years; six in litigation. Every time the city has tried to work out a deal which would help the situation, the city has found itself in a deeper quagmire than it was previously. Williams added he attended a bankruptcy hearing in regard to that litigation. He found it to be quite obvious that the situation is not close to being solved. Williams added, he thought it premature for the city to enter into any kind of a transaction that would upset the balance of ownership in any direction for fear that it might drag the city into further litigation between the parties. It was astounding to him the things that can be pulled up and argued about in court. He is afraid that if council would approve a transaction such as Hall proposes, the developer would find some reason to come back and say that the proposed policy should occur to all other lots within the case. Williams stated he was not sure the council could help at this time. A resolution to the litigation may be found by next building season, but it is hard to tell. Because the matter is in litigation, he is very touchy about going into any kind of transaction (in regard to Inlet Woods lots) at this time. Councilman Smalley asked, should the lots in question be lots the city may end up with again, are there other assessments against them that the city would be interested in regaining (approximately $16,000 per lot)? Finance Director Brown answered yes, probably higher. Williams added, if and when the situation is settled to the degree that both parties can agree and if the city does come into ownership of the properties, at that time, the city would have to assess the entire issue of value of property. A value of property may have to be set based on fair market appraisal regardless of what the actual owing of debt is against the lots in order to market them. Now it is only speculation. It could be three months to three years before the matter is resolved. He didn't think there was any logical way to go ahead with Hall's proposal at this time. Hall stated they were looking for an opportunity to get rid of their lots. The lots are valued at about $15,000, but their real value is about $5,000 with the cost of the power needing to be brought to them. They are paying property tax on the lots and they would like to relieve themselves of paying the property KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 6, 1995 PAGE 10 taxes. Hall added he understood the question the city has. He had not thought of that side of it. If it doesn't make good sense for the city, he would have to agree with the city. Williams stated he did not think the council could help him. Hall stated he appreciated the input. BREAK TAKEN: 8:00 P.M. BACK TO ORDER: 8:15 P.M. ITEM C: PUBLIC HEARINGS C-1. Ordinance No. 1659-95 - Creating KMC 7.15.110 to Provide that the City May Offset Amounts Owed to Contractors by the City Against Amounts Owed by the Contractors for Delinquent City Taxes. MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED for adoption of Ordinance No. 1659-95 and Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion. There were no public comments. Councilwoman Swarner stated she requested the ordinance be offered. She added, she felt when the city is owed money by a contractor, it should try to get the money. The ordinance is mirrored after the Borough ordinance. Swarner asked support from other members of the council. VOTE: Monfor: Yes Measles: Absent Bannock: Yes Smalley: Yes Williams: Yes Bookey: Yes Swarner: Yes MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. C-2. Ordinance No. 1660-95 - Amending the Official City of Kenai Zoning Map for Certain lands Described as Lots 3 and 4, Block 8, Shaginoff Subdivision and Within the City of Kenai.

KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 6, 1995 PAGE 11 There were no public or council comments. Williams stated he would not support the ordinance. He voted against the Board of Adjustment decision. He feels it is premature to change the zoning at this time. VOTE: Monfor: Yes Smalley: No Swarner: Yes MOTION PASSED.

Motion for Second Reading (Requires a Unanimous Vote) MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED for the second reading of Ordinance No. 1665-95 and Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion. Councilman Smalley requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. C-4c. Motion for Adoption MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED for adoption of Ordinance No. 1665-95 and Councilwoman Monfor SECONDED the motion. There were no public comments. Councilwoman Monfor suggested another process could be found for introduction and passage of an ordinance in one meeting as it is very confusing. Williams stated under the rules of order, this was the appropriate procedure. Monfor asked if a purchase order could have been done. Finance Director Brown answered the problem was there was less than $2,000 in the building account. An appropriation ordinance was necessary. Monfor asked why the work could not be inspected in-house. Kornelis answered it was a possibility, however the building inspector did not have the time due to other projects. Architect Kluge designed the project and knows what has been specified. It will be more efficient to have Kluge do the work. Monfor added, she thought it would be better to use a city employee who is licensed to do the work. Williams stated outside contractors will be used to do the construction and an outside architect has been used for the design. It is state money funding the project. There are probably many reasons why the city should have an outside view of the work. It is like $2,300 worth of insurance. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 6, 1995 PAGE 13 Brown corrected Williams; the project is funded by enterprise money, not state money. Kornelis added, the contractor has been given the notice to proceed. Swarner suggested the work be done in-house. Bannock stated he thought this was something that could not be done in-house. Bannock asked if there have been other times that the inspection work could have been done in- house. He added he thought the city should capitalize on its in- house assets whenever possible. Kornelis answered there is very little that cannot be done in- house, but the problem with this is time constraints. There are many other buildings in town which need to be inspected. Kluge is familiar with the project, etc. There are liability considerations as well. Williams stated the cost is like an insurance policy to insure the design requirements are done the way the architect specifies. He wants someone out there to go back to if the construction is not done correctly. VOTE: Monfor: Yes Measles: Absent Bannock: Yes Smalley: Yes Williams: Yes Bookey: Yes Swarner: Yes MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. C-5. Resolution No. 95-49 - Supporting an Amendment to the State Constitution to Allow Establishment of a Dedicated Motor Vehicle Fuel Tax to Support the State's Transportation Systems. C-5a. Remove from table. MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED to remove Resolution No. 95-49 from the table. Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion. Williams reported there was a broad discussion about the establishment of a dedicated fuel tax at the Alaska Conference of Mayors. There does not appear to be a lot of support for one because state funding already received for highways and transportation may be more than a motor fuel tax could collect. This could cause a shortfall. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 6, 1995 PAGE 14 Councilman Bookey reported the AML Board of Directors had a similar discussion. He does not think a fuel tax would go anywhere stateside. Williams suggested voting it down will send a message to the legislator that the city is not in favor of a fuel tax. VOTE ON THE MOTION TO REMOVE FROM THE TABLE: There were no objections to remove the resolution from the table. C-5b. Consideration of the resolution. Councilwoman Monfor called for the question on the resolution. VOTE ON THE RESOLUTION: Monfor: No Measles: Absent Bannock: No Smalley: No Williams: No Bookey: No Swarner: No MOTION FAILED UNANIMOUSLY. C-6. Resolution No. 95-50 - Supporting Local Control Over Gaming/Gambling in the City Limits of the City of Kenai. C-6a. Remove from table. MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED to remove Resolution No. 95-50 from the table. Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion. Smalley asked, in discussion of the ordinance at the last meeting, were the points at issue clarified as far as multiple beneficiary, singles, etc. He added, in his reading the resolution it appears to be clarified, but wanted to be sure. Attorney Graves answered he believes they had been. VOTE TO REMOVE FROM TABLE: Councilman Smalley requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT for removing the resolution from the table. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 6, 1995 PAGE 15 Williams reported he will send a copy of the resolution to from Commissioner Condon. C-6b. Consideration of the resolution. MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED for approval of Resolution No. 95-50 and requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. Councilman Bannock SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. C-7. Resolution No. 95-51 - Transferring $3,000 in the General Fund for an Electrical Connection at the Library.

VOTE: There were no objections. SO ORDERED. C-S. Resolution No. 95-52 - Transferring $7,484 in the Airport Land Fund for Additional Money for Construction of a Pole Garage Building. MOTION: Councilman Bookey MOVED for approval of Resolution No. 95-52 and Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion and requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. There were no public comments. Acting Airport Manager Holland explained the pole garage will house the Airport Manager and Assistant Airport Manager vehicles and tractor. It will be placed on the north end of the airport terminal. VOTE: There were no objections. SO ORDERED. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 6, 1995 PAGE 16 A short discussion followed regarding the new airport terminal carpet and the disappointment of the placement of the carpet and its performance. C-9. Resolution No. 95-53 - Awarding a Contract for the Construction of a Pole Garage Building for the Total Amount of $27,484 to Alaska Building Systems. MOTION: Councilman Bookey MOVED for approval of Resolution No. 95-53 and Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion. Councilman Bookey requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. There were no public or council comments. VOTE: There were no objections. 80 ORDERED. C-10. Resolution No. 95-54 - Transferring $13,600 in the General Fund for Costs to Assemble a Greenhouse. MOTION: Councilwoman Swarner MOVED for adoption of Resolution No. 95-54 and Councilwoman Monfor SECONDED the motion. There were no public comments. Bookey stated he thought they were told there would be no problem having the greenhouse assembled in-house. Parks & Recreation Director McGillivray answered, the parts arrived late and now the Street Department is gearing up for the winter. Also, he and the engineer reviewed the directions and found they were more complex than what they anticipated. McGillivray added, the greenhouse will have water lines, electricity and gas included. Bookey stated he thought this was a lot of money to assemble the greenhouse. Bannock stated he would not support more money to have the greenhouse assembled. He objected to unanimous consent. Bookey added, during budget sessions, the cost of the greenhouse was stated to be $10,000. Now council was being asked to appropriate another $13,600. If the cost for assembling the greenhouse had been included during budget discussions, he would have said no to ordering it. He was not comfortable to spend KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 6, 1995 PAGE 17 that much for the greenhouse. $10,000 has been invested in it. He was not comfortable about letting it lay either as parts get lost, etc. In the future things need to come to council as a complete package and not piece -meal. Williams suggested the assembling could be done in-house, but it wouldn't get done until next spring and then the greenhouse would not be available for use for the spring planting season. Williams added he had received many compliments in regard to the flowers and landscaping program of the city from the public. He agreed that the total package should have been represented, but now they should probably go ahead with the assemblage. Williams asked Brown how much money had been taken from contingency in the present budget year. Brown answered the contingency fund started with $75,000. There were two resolutions appropriating money from the fund which used $3,000. The new balance of contingency, after subtracting the 13,600, would be $59,000. Brown added, he was concerned that this is only the third month of the fiscal year. Councilman Smalley stated his agreement with Bookey. If $26,000 was requested for a greenhouse during the budget sessions, he would have said no. Since it was represented the assembling could have been done in-house, he didn't have a problem with the $10,000 cost for the greenhouse. He believes the greenhouse is needed to take care of the city plantings. He agreed that letting it sit around all winter was not advisable. Smalley added he would support the resolution, but if a similar request occurs again, he will vote no. Councilwoman Monfor stated she did not want any department to think she was against them, however, this was the second time during the meeting, because of other commitments, the city had to go into other funds because the work couldn't be done in-house. Monfor advised, when budgeting, council needs to look at the time involved in assembling, etc. and manpower hours required and plan for it. She added, she would support the resolution because she believed money would be saved in the long run. Bookey stated, it was presented to council that the work could be done in-house. He added, he gets uncomfortable when administration comes back for more money. The cost of the assembling is more than the cost of the building. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 6, 1995 PAGE 18 Williams asked where the greenhouse would be located. McGillivray answered by the cold storage area on a gravel pad. Williams added, if a new shop would be constructed in the future, he would not want the greenhouse to have to be moved. VOTE: Monfor: Yes Measles: Absent Bannock: No Smalley: Yes Williams: Yes Bookey: Yes Swarner: Yes MOTION PASSED. ITEM D: COMMISSION/COMMITTEE REPORTS D-1. Council on Aging Councilwoman Swarner reported the next meeting will be held on September 19. D-2. Airport Commission No report. D-3. Harbor Commission Councilman Bookey reported the next meeting would be held on Monday, September 11. D-4. Library Commission Councilwoman Monfor reported a meeting had been held last night. There was a good discussion regarding the expansion plans and how to get people to go out to vote. Monfor added, the Commission is in need of a student representative also. Williams asked Mr. Bob Peters (Commissioner who was in the audience) for comments in regard to the Commission's discussion and choice of $3 million for the expansion. Peters answered the Commission based their findings on the estimate given to them by the architect. They believe the actual construction, etc. will come well under the $3 million figure. A short discussion followed regarding the mil rate increases that may be caused by the passage of the propositions. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 6, 1995 PAGE 19 Councilman Bannock requested review of a statement made in the Commission's meeting minutes at page 3, paragraph 3. Councilwoman Monfor stated she would bring it to the Commission's attention at their next meeting. D-5. Parks & Recreation Commission Councilman Bannock reported the next meeting would be held September 7. Williams referred to the application of Michele Fahnholz (for student representative to the Commission), included in the packet. Councilman Smalley added, he requested Ms. Bingham at KCHS to find student interested in applying. He understood there would be more applications forthcoming, however this applicant would be a good as a student representative. There were no objections to the appointment of Michele Fahnholz as the student representative to the Parks & Recreation Commission. D-6. Planning & Zoning Commission Councilman Smalley reported a plat and utility easement vacation (Thompson Park), subdivision plat and landscaping/site plan review were approved or amended and approved at their 8/23/95 meeting. There was also a Townsite Historic zone continuation of review (addition of a second story to a building). Also a variance request was voted down after much discussion and a lot of voiced opposition to the project. Smalley added, there was comment by a commissioner in regard to the old Fire Department tanker truck's use after being condemned because of the water tank being dangerous, etc. The council purchased a new one. The commissioner brought it to his attention that the truck was being operated again with the tank on it. Council was told it would be modified. Smalley added, the commissioner's comment, of which he would have to agree, was that the truck was being operated on the roads, with the tank on it and water in the tank. He was told the truck had been modified. It was represented to council the truck was not safe if it was operated with a load of water. If it was represented that it was not safe to be operated on the roads with the tank on it and water in the tank, then it should not be used. Smalley asked if it could be confirmed that the truck was being used. Williams asked Manninen if he could respond to the matter. Manninen stated he could respond that the tanker truck had been KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 6, 1995 PAGE 20 used during the summer, but not by the Fire Department. He was not aware of any other use of the truck other than Public Works. Smalley added, part of the discussion held was what would happen if the truck was driven down the road with a load of water in it and, it being unsafe with that kind of weight and ratio, etc., it hit another car. If it's out there again we should not be having it on the road. Smalley added, he thought that the truck could be utilized again if the tank were removed and used for some other type of project because it is the tank that is the problem. Manninen stated that he thought it was the tank and was also the Fire Department's use and the use as an emergency -type vehicle. It was used for watering flowers or watering the roads for oiling. Kornelis stated it was used one time of which he was aware. That use was for compacting the ground after the sewer repair done at the corner of Fidalgo. The tank was not filled with water. It was slowly brought down the road. He didn't think it was unsafe to drive it at slow speeds. Modifications can be made to make it safer. They are looking into that possibility. Manninen stated the tank was not full of water or used for an emergency at an unsafe or fast rate of speed as you would necessarily need if using the vehicle in an emergency situation. If they are going to respond, they need to know they have something to respond with on a full tank of water and that you're going to get there in time to do something. If watering flowers or compacting roads, it wouldn't make a difference if you're using a full tank there as long as you get there and do the job. Manninen added, he was not aware of the truck being used for anything else. Kornelis stated it is not an unsafe operation. Smalley replied, he believed that was part of the discussion when council decided to purchase another tanker truck; that it was not safe on the roads and what made it unsafe was the tank. Councilwoman Monfor stated the tanker truck has been a bone of contention from the beginning. The council voted to replace the truck because the Fire Chief informed them it was not safe when it was full of water. Council replaced it and the city is still using it. If the truck can't be used with a tank full of water, why can't the tank be removed and use the truck body. It was her understanding the body was still in good shape. Monfor added, the tank could be used for oiling, but don't put any more water on it. Williams added, he remembered one of the reasons the KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 6, 1995 PAGE 21 truck was not given to the Circle Track Association was because it was represented that the truck was not safe. Bookey stated the issue had been taken to whether the truck is driven fast or slow. Monfor replied, the issue was, the truck was not safe. Bookey added he thought it was unsafe as an emergency vehicle, but if it is a constituent's issue he thought it better to get rid of the truck or remove the tank, make the truck into something else and sell the tank. Williams suggested, if the truck is usable and the tank could be modified to the point that the truck and the tank on the truck could be used safely, maybe Public Works should come back with a design to make it safe to be used on the roads. Bannock stated he discussed the matter with a department head and was told there was a way to do it. The truck would not make a very good fire truck, but could be used for watering flowers. Kornelis stated, the Fire Department said there was a problem when there was too much weight on the back axle. Part of the tank could be removed to make it not as heavy. They didn't put as much water in it. Bannock added, the discussion was, however, the truck was not safe if it was not full of water. Kornelis mentioned there are baffles in it too. Bannock stated, the council was told that the truck was not safe in the present use and capacity. Council voted to buy a new tanker truck because of that and because of that, there is an appearance of evil. Williams suggested administration come back with an answer as to how it could be used safely or how it could be modified to use it safely and economically. Chief Burnett stated there were two concerns: (1) it was not baffled correctly, so they went from 5,000 gallons to 3,000 gallons of water in it. (2) Their drivers did not have the capability for driving it safely. All the fire trucks are automatic. With an experienced driver and better baffling, maybe it could be used. Councilman Smalley asked who in the Parks & Recreation Department was driving it. McGillivray answered they did not use it. Kornelis added, the only time he knew of anyone driving it was an equipment operator who used it on Fidalgo Street for compacting dirt. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 6, 1995 PAGE 22 Williams suggested administration review the situation, i.e. if the truck can be used safely in the city or can be modified, and if it can be modified, can it be used safely and properly. If it is determined it cannot be used safely and properly, it should be put up for auction. Swarner stated it sounded like no one could drive it. Kornelis stated one person from the shop can. Smalley stated he did not have a problem with it or Commissioner Goecke discussing it, but if the information given to council (when they replaced it) was to remove the tank or reduce the size of the tank, then the city is obliged to do that. Williams requested administration bring back a recommendation in regard to the tanker truck. D-7. Miscellaneous Commissions and Committees Historic District Board - Williams referred to the update information in regard to the Board's membership which was included in the packet. Williams noted there needs to be three members from the professions of history, architecture or architectural history and archeology. Smalley stated he knows of someone with an architectural history background who may be interested in an appointment. He will pursue an application. Bookey requested a letter be sent to Mr. Malanaphy and thank him for his participation on the Board. Bookey, referring to Malanaphy's letter included in the packet, said he did not think Malanaphy could represent the city as a member of the Board while living out of state, even though he will travel to the area once a month. Freas was requested to send a thank you letter to Malanaphy for his participation and add the city will welcome his input in the future. ITEM E: MINUTES E-1. Regular Meeting of August 16, 1995.

Councilwoman Monfor stated the signage is very important. Monfor asked if the city would have to match the $6,000 grant. Answer given was at least 40% of the amount. Williams asked if there was a guarantee the city would get the 60% back. Brown answered after the grant is received, the contractor doing the work bills for the work. The city pays the contractor. With the grant award, there is a guarantee that the 60% money is paid back. Monfor suggested that if the motion is not passed at this meeting, that the signage project be presented to Kim Booth for review by the Visitors and Cultural Center Boards. There is a possibility they could undertake the project. Bookey stated he did not think signage would be a viable project, according to the grant information included in the packet. Monfor suggested to table the motion and give the Visitors & Cultural Center boards time to review and discuss the project. Monfor added, if they are willing to take on the project, they would work in conjunction with the Townsite Historic Board. Bannock questioned the wording of the grant information wherein it states after spending money, the grantee can request reimbursement. He was concerned that there could be a chance that the grantor could decide not to reimburse the costs spent. Brown explained he thought the sentence was written poorly. There is a grant agreement which directs that reimbursement is made. Manninen added, on a reimbursement grant, the city would get the grant first and to get the $6,000 maximum match, the city would have to spend, after getting the grant, spend $10,000 and apply for reimbursement and get the $6,000 after applying for the reimbursement and the work is finished. Williams added, the project would not move ahead until the grant is awarded. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 6, 1995 PAGE 25 WITHDRAWAL OF MOTION: Councilwoman Monfor withdrew her motion with approval of the second. Councilman Smalley, the second, had no objection. Monfor suggested that if the Historic District Board wants to apply for the grant, more specifics are needed. She added, she believes the signage is a very good idea, but there may be other options for financing the project through the Kenaitze Tribe or the Visitors Center. Councilman Bookey agreed with Monfor but requested more specific information be presented to council from the Historic District Board, i.e. what the money would be used for; what would the signs look like; where would they be placed; what other funding options have they discussed. H-7. Approval - Amendment of Airport Regulation 6.05.010(c)/ Airport Terminal Loading Zone Parking. MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED for approval of Item H-7, amending the Airport Regulations as submitted. Councilwoman Monfor SECONDED the motion. Williams asked for comments from Manninen. Manninen answered that he reviewed it and signed it. He added, it meets the requirement discussed at the last meeting. Bookey stated he did not have any objections to the amendment, but he hoped airport personnel would be sympathetic. Williams stated he had the same concerns. Smalley stated the issued is that the existing ordinance meant you could not leave a vehicle unattended and the amendment allows that to take place. Smalley added he thought the amendment cleaned the regulation up. Bookey stated he understood that, but there have been problems before of how regulations have been enforced. Is the 20-minute allowance a hard and fast rule. He understands there would be a problem if a car was parked for an hour. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 6, 1995 PAGE 26 Bannock stated when he first reviewed the amendment and spoke with Airport Manager Ernst, he liked the amendment. Now he is not comfortable with the new wording. Is the 20-minute allowance for anything you want to do in the airport or only for purchase of tickets, dropping off or picking up a passenger or luggage? Ernst put the wording in so people wouldn't be parked there and talking on the phone. Bannock suggested eliminating the portion that defines what a person has to be doing to be allowed to park there. Smalley stated he believed the intent for parking in front of the airport termination is to enhance the traveling public. If airport personnel are looking for vehicles who have parked for 26-28 minutes, then there is a problem. Smalley added, he thought the amendment cleaned up a problem. Williams asked what a reasonable time was. Monfor stated the ordinance doesn't say 20 minutes, the signs in front of the terminal do. Monfor added her concern that there are sometimes extenuating circumstances that may keep people in the terminal longer than 20 minutes, i.e. long ticket lines in the summer and winter. She added, it would not be serving the public to tow a car of someone while they are waiting in a ticket line. She believes the intent of council is to serve the public, not towing cars. Bookey stated he hoped management is realistic on how the regulation is enforced. VOTE: There were no objections to the motion. SO ORDERED. Monfor added, the message is that reasonable people deal in a reasonable manner. Do it in the spirit of partnership with the traveling public. Williams added, if it is troublesome as written, it can be amended. H-8. Approval - Preliminary Plat Approval/5.77 Acres M/L Situated in the NE 1/4 NE 1/4, Section 3, T5N R11W, Seward Meridian - Approval to Plat City Land. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 6, 1995 PAGE 27 MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED for approval of Item H-8, preliminary plat approval as described. Councilwoman Monfor SECONDED the motion. Smalley explained, the approval of the plat will clear up the situation of access to the property behind the golf course. The matter was reviewed by the Planning & Zoning Commission and approved. Attorney Graves added, the access to the property is a requirement of the Jones lawsuit settlement. The right-of-way will give access. Because the city is the property owner, it must approve the plat. The P&Z approval was contingent upon the signing of an installation agreement by the developer, which would cover street, drainage and miscellaneous. It is thought that if the council did not approve the plat, the developer could still build a road. In the long term, approval of the plat and building of the road will provide development of lots and houses behind the golf course. Graves added, it is his understanding Mr. Morgan has reviewed the matter and has stated the road would not interfere with the use of the golf course. Discussion followed as to the width of the right of way, etc. Williams asked if there would be enough ground to put in the road and not go into the wetlands. Kornelis answered it is the developer's responsibility. They feel it would be better to give the right-of-way instead of building the road on the section line. The developer will have to acquire Corps permits, etc. Williams suggested that it be made a part of the approval that if and when the road is built, it is built to city standards. Graves state the installation agreement will do that. Bookey asked if it would absolutely forbid the developer to build the road unless done to specific requirements? Smalley answered, the installation agreement is a mandate. Williams stated he was concerned that there is recommendation, but it is broad and doesn't say to what extent the road must be built. He would like the road built to city standards. Kornelis explained that when the right-of-way becomes a dedicated right- of-way (with plat approval), then there is an installation agreement. Swarner pointed out there have been a lot of roads in Kenai that were not built with installation agreement. Smalley stated the Planning & Zoning Commission discussed the matter with City Engineer La Shot. Some of the same questions KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 6, 1995 PAGE 28 came up. La Shot said what Kornelis said. The installation agreement says the developer won't be able to anything without it being done right. In approving the plat, this will occur, however if the plat is not approved, and the developer doesn't build the road, the city will have to at its expense. The development of road is a result of a lawsuit the city lost. This will remedy the situation. Williams suggested the question could be cleaned up by adding in No. 1 of the recommendations on the staff report, "An installation agreement to construct to city standards Swires Drive from Lawton south...." MOTION: Councilwoman Swarner MOVED to have "to city standards" added to the recommendations of the installation agreement. Councilman Bookey SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. H-9. Approval - Special Use Permit/Fund in the Midnight Sun Reservation Central - Airport Terminal. Councilwoman Monfor stated she would like to postpone the approval of the permit until the information can be forwarded to the Visitors' Center board for their review. She believed their input should be reviewed prior to a vote by council as their function is similar to what this reservation business would be doing. Smalley reminded council that they directed the airport manager (at their last meeting) to discuss with Kangas the possibility of leasing the space for the whole year instead of three months. Kangas (the applicant) has agreed to lease the space for the year. The hoop put up by council has been taken care of and was concerned the council was adding more hoops. Monfor stated she believed that was her fault. She stated she believed the Center's input is important. Some of the people who are members of the Center are bed tax people in the community. They should have a chance to discuss and review the proposal. It would affect a lot of businesses in the community who are members of the Center. They should have a chance to discuss the matter. Councilman Bookey stated the matter came before council at their last meeting. Since then, he thought about the situation for KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 6, 1995 PAGE 29 some time. He is a firm believer in private enterprise, but has a problem with this situation. He believed the reservation business would be a direct conflict to the Visitors Center and could hamper city constituents by developing businesses out of the city. Bookey added, the lease price maybe should be determined by fair market value. Bookey stated he would oppose the permit as he believed the hotels and bed & breakfasts would go into an uproar when hotels out of Kenai are propagated. The hotels and bed & breakfasts fund the Center by paying bed tax. Williams recognized Barbara Kangas and requested she speak with council. Williams explained the council's concern as the city passed a bed tax to support the Center to entice more tourism into the city. Approximately $95,000 a year is generated by bed tax. This plus additional funds goes toward supporting the Center. He is concerned that there will be businesses outside the city receiving the bookings. He is concerned that there will be damage to city businesses. How much will be offered to businesses other than the city of Kenai. What will the hotel owners (in the city) say if council allows businesses outside of the city to be booked. Bannock stated that Kangas (in her proposal) said she would be booking people in the same hotels. Williams replied that if ten percent of her bookings go to another hotel, it is ten percent too much. Hotels out of the city are not contributing to the support of the Center. Monfor pointed out that there are a lot of Soldotna businesses, i.e. bed & breakfasts, fishing guides, etc. are members of the Visitor Center. That is why she thought the matter should be reviewed by the Visitors Center board. She didn't necessarily have a problem with Kangas' business. Monfor added, the Center has members from all over the Peninsula. It makes sense for them to review the proposal. Williams suggested that the Visitors Center extend there services to this area, specifically to the businesses in the city of Kenai. Williams again stated his concern that any rooms rented outside the city would deter the bed tax to go the Center. Council's allowing this business there could destroy its credibility to the businesses in the city. Smalley suggested then the bed & breakfast advertisements, etc. at the terminal which are businesses outside the city, should be removed from the kiosks. Williams stated there was a difference in advertising and booking the rooms. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 6, 1995 PAGE 30 Barbara Kangas - Owner of Fun in the Midnight Sun Reservation Central. Kangas stated she took exception to the comments made that a business she developed is going to be lent over to someone else to develop. She is a taxpayer, business owner and member of the Visitors Center, she was taking exception to a concept she developed being offered to someone else. Bookey stated that was not the case, but that she was asking council to subsidize her business at the airport through a low rental rate. Kangas stated she did not set the rate and was willing to pay the same amount as other counterspace rentals. Williams stated to set the amount aside. What they were discussing was the concept of allowing someone to use the airport to book rooms outside of the city. Kangas explained she would have an equal amount of space open for bookings in each area. She would be bringing sales into the terminal. With her experience in sales, etc. she believes her business will keep business in the concentrated area. Her reservation business will be available to any businesses who chooses to contract with her. Williams explained that between 80 and 90% of the bed tax comes from four Kenai hotels. 100% of the bed tax or equivalent amount from the General Fund is given to the Visitors Center. The hotel owners have felt they have been unjustly taxed. If her service books hotels out of the city, it would concern them even more. Kangas stated those hotels would have the option to come on board with her service for her to book rooms from there. It is free enterprise. Williams stated no, that at some point the council has to protect the city of Kenai from businesses outside the city. It is not appropriate to support businesses in other communities. This will be more clear later on. Councilman Bannock stated he wholeheartedly disagreed with that theory. The four hotels have the opportunity to contract with Kangas. As Councilman Smalley pointed out, any venture in the airport has the ability to send people to other towns instead of Kenai, i.e. car rentals, airlines, etc. If council has built it as a fund raising activity with the bed tax, and with a brilliant idea, it is creating a problem, that's the problem that needs to be reviewed. Don't punish Kangas for having a good idea. Bannock added, that was what it appeared Williams wanted to do; protect, at any cost, the city of Kenai. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 6, 1995 PAGE 31 Williams stated the revenue for the rental rate suggested would be a pittance. Williams stated if Kangas could guarantee 90% of the bookings would be to the four Kenai hotels and bed & breakfasts in Kenai, he wouldn't have a problem. Bannock answered, that couldn't be done. It would be like telling the car rental dealers they could only rent vehicles to persons who will stay in Kenai. Monfor stated she could not see a problem with the Visitors Board reviewing the matter and forwarding their input to council. They are not talking about a lot of money. However, when it is something that affects the visitor industry, it makes sense to send it to their board for review. Williams stated he didn't object to the Center's boards to review the matter. However, he did not want to promote businesses in other communities. Monfor replied, then the courtesy phones rentals should be reviewed as well. Kangas asked how one could be judged over the other. She would be working with a variety of businesses (canoe rental, boat rentals, RV rentals, etc.) and it would enhance the terminal operation. She will be able to distribute information to people. Kangas reminded council she was hoping to have a decision in order to order advertising in the Milepost, Alaska Magazine, etc. Those orders need to be to the magazines by the end of the month. Her business would bring more business into the terminal. Bookey stated he did not have problem with taking the matter to the Visitors Center for review, but this is a council problem. They need to decide if they want to promote businesses within the city. He added, he believes Kangas' business will be detrimental to the city. There will be a loss of room rentals, sales tax and bed tax. Bannock stated he believed it is a council problem to put business in the airport. Bannock requested council discuss the rate. He believed the rate was where the problem was. Kangas asked if they were concerned about the rate, are they expecting her business to make up the difference on what a Soldotna bookings? Bannock stated no. She did not suggest the $50 rate. It was suggested Airport Manager Erst and because he was not sure of how it would work. It would be on a trial basis. Kangas added she did not have a problem with an increase, although she would have to consider it. She rotates the rentals KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 6, 1995 PAGE 32 to businesses by the need of the customer. She doesn't place them, it is up to the customer where they want to be placed. Councilman Smalley recognized Kim Booth, Executive Director of the Visitors Center who was in the audience. Smalley asked Booth if the Visitors Center sends tourists out of the city to parks, etc. Booth answered, the Center has members who are out of the city. Smalley asked if visitors are advised to check other communities if they have a specific need not available in Kenai. Booth answered yes, if the question is asked of them. Smalley added that based on those answers and based on the fact that Kangas passed the hoops in regard to a year rental of the space, he would support the approval of the permit. Williams stated his deepest concern was that four businesses are responsible for 80-90% of the bed tax which goes to support the Center. Smalley stated he and Monfor suggested at one time that a bed tax was only one area of revenue that was being reviewed in regard to tourism which could be used to assist in the payments. The council has not done anything about that yet. Williams agreed. Bookey asked Kangas if she discussed her business with any of the hotels. Kangas answered she has had a brochure stand at Fred Meyer and rented out spots on the stand. She offered her services first to those customers. She is working with a limited space. She has not talked with city hotels, other than her mailings. Swarner asked how much car rental spaces are charged. Brown answered, a ten percent commission of their sales. They also pay a small amount for the counterspace (approximately $1,000 a year plus the commission). Acting Airport Manager Holland stated the $50 rate was suggested by the Airport Commission. Swarner stated she thought the suggested rental rate is a problem. Williams asked administration where are the revenues from the airport placed in the budget. Answer was the Airport Terminal Fund. Williams asked where the rent, etc. received from Kangas' business be placed in the budget. Answer was the airport budget. MOTION: Councilman Bannock MOVED to approve the lease between Fun in the Midnight Sun Reservation Central at the Kenai Airport at a rate KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 6, 1995 PAGE 33 consistent with the ongoing square footage and commissions. Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion. Discussion continued regarding the percentage of commission and how it is calculated. Bannock explained that if Kangas rents a room for $100 the city would collect $10. Williams disagreed stating that is the amount Kangas would receive. Smalley stated, the city would get 10% of her 10% commission. Williams added, the fallacy was the money goes to the airport fund. It won't go to support the Visitors Center. Monfor stated she would vote against the motion because she firmly believed the Visitors Center should review the proposal as some of their members are who pay the bed tax. Bannock asked, what if the Center's boards say no. Monfor stated that was their right. Bannock replied, the Airport Commission recommended to allow the rental. Monfor questioned what the Commission knew about the visitor industry. Kangas stated she told the Airport Commission she would be willing to work with non -profits to help display community information. She added she did not think it made sense to have the Visitors Center make decisions on who rents at the airport. Monfor stated they wouldn't make a decision. They would give input. Kangas asked if they gave input on other businesses at the airport. Monfor answered, the other businesses don't affect their membership. Monfor explained, members of the Visitors Center bring business to the area to rent rooms, etc., which in turn helps to support the Center from the bed tax collected. The Center brings tourism into the city. Kangas stated, her being at the airport would probably bring more people into the city. If someone picks up a brochure from the Visitors Center of a member who is outside the city, is there a guarantee the visitor will stay in the city. Monfor answered no. Monfor added, she hoped Kangas could go to the Board and present her concept and receive their input. Kangas replied, she hoped she could do that as a member, but not as a private enterprise. Kangas asked if the hotel owners, etc. have a choice to buy into the Center. Monfor answered, they had 18 months to buy into it. She didn't think the Center's board will care, but thinks they should have a chance to review the proposal. Monfor added, she thought it would be better to go to the Visitors' board instead of the Airport Commission. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 6, 1995 PAGE 34 Williams requested a roll call vote be taken. Clerk called for Monfor's vote. Swarner requested to speak. Williams requested that one more comment be made by Swarner. MOTION: - Councilwoman Swarner MOVED to table the discussion until the next meeting so the Visitors Center board of directors can review the matter. Councilman Smalley objected to the motion as there was a motion on the floor and the Mayor called for the vote. Attorney Graves advised council had to vote on the first motion as the vote was called for. Williams stated he called for the vote but does not have that responsibility. A member of the council should call for the vote. Smalley stated he called for the question. Graves agreed. Williams asked for the vote. VOTE: Monfor: Yes Smalley: Yes Swarner: No MOTION FAILED. Measles: Absent Bannock: Yes Williams: No Bookey: No Swarner stated she thought the concern was with the lease rate. Kangas had stated that she didn't set the rate at $50.00. Swarner stated she thought the rental amount was a problem. The Airport Commission suggested the amount. It is misinformation council receives from department heads and commissions that create problems. Swarner added, she thought council should receive better information. Williams stated the motion was for corrected Williams and stated his the motion was defeated. MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION: delaying it. Bannock motion was to approve it and Councilwoman Swarner MOVED to reconsider the matter at the next council meeting and Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion. Councilman Bannock objected. Williams stated that Kangas is under a tight time frame. Bannock asked Kangas if the matter was put off to September 20, would it KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 6, 1995 PAGE 35 be a problem with her advertising deadlines? Kangas answered it would not be a problem with her advertising deadlines, but would be with people she has been working with. Kangas stated she was under the impression, through discussions with Mr. Ernst, that he was under the assumption there wouldn't be much of a problem. Williams stated that Mr. Ernst is wrong most of the time. Kangas added, her proposal has been influencing most of what she has been doing. Bannock asked Kangas if she would be opposed to a lease with a sunset date of 14 months? Kangas answered she had originally asked for a three-month lease. Council had suggested the one-year lease. Bannock asked if the Chair would be willing to review the proposal with an end date and at that time, evaluate it, showing the city's losses or her success. Bannock added, he thought most of council's concerns were based on speculation and fear. Williams stated he would leave that up to the council because he would still vote no. Bannock asked Swarner how she would feel about that. Swarner answered, but it could not be heard for the record. Monfor stated she felt council was making it hard on the public. She personally felt the Visitor Center should review the proposal and the lease was horrid because it did not set out any payments, etc. The lease was rushed through because of the advertising time line. Williams cautioned council that the funding received from this business would end up in the Airport Fund. Smalley stated that is the purpose of the business at the airport. He added, he believed Bannock's motion clarified the concern about the lease rate by making it equal to other lease rates at the airport. Monfor said it did not give the length of the lease. Smalley stated it was drawn to comments made earlier. Williams noted council needed to vote on the motion for reconsideration. Williams asked who made the second to the motion for reconsideration. Smalley replied, he did. Bannock asked if it fails, can a person on the prevailing side of the first issue request a reconsideration at this meeting. Graves advised there can only be one motion for reconsideration which may be made on any issue. If the reconsideration fails, it's KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 6, 1995 PAGE 36 over. Bannock stated the questions were then, whether they want to discuss the matter at the next meeting or never again. Williams advised another motion for reconsideration could be made in a different form at another time on a matter that hasn't been reconsidered. Graves advised the vote on the reconsideration would not preclude council to consider the matter again. VOTE ON RECONSIDERATION: Councilwoman Monfor called for the vote on reconsideration. Monfor: Yes Smalley: Yes Swarner: Yes MOTION PASSED. Measles: Absent Bannock: Yes Williams: No Bookey: No Councilman Smalley stated to Kangas that the issue of the concept and length of the lease will be considered at the next council meeting. If she would like to talk with the Visitors Center about her proposal she could. Williams added, if there was any way to allay his and Bookey's concerns (loss of income to the city's businesses), please present them at that time. Williams added, he felt the council's job is to ensure the health of businesses within the city of Kenai. Bannock replied, Kangas would be a business in the city that the council would be trying to protect. Bookey stated if Kangas' business was in the private sector instead of the airport, he wouldn't have a problem. Kangas asked if one of the hotels wanted to rent space in the airport, would it be a problem because the other hotels couldn't (because of lack of space). Bookey answered, if it would be a business from inside the city of Kenai and it would be promoting that business. Kangas asked if there were no other brochures from other businesses inside the city hotels. Monfor added, that some of the hotels use guides from Soldotna. In the airport, there are advertisements for businesses that are outside of the city as well as courtesy phones for businesses outside the city. Monfor stated she did not think Kangas should be emphasized. If her business is to be reviewed, then other businesses need to reviewed as well. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 6, 1995 PAGE 37 Williams requested council to do a broad round of review and discussions before their September 20 meeting. He also stated to Kangas that he appreciated her patience and his concerns should not be taken personally. H-10. Discussion - Land Swap/Borough, City, BOR Lands. Manninen referred to his memorandum included in the packet which would update council about the property the city is trying to acquire for the city's water well on the Kenai Spur Highway for the purposes of the water well, satellite fire station and cross- country ski area for Parks & Recreation programs or transfer to the BOR for other land within the city, near the golf course. Manninen added he spoke with Roy Dudley and Lisa Parker and they expect the Borough will act on it in September. Manninen referred to the map included in the packet. Manninen reported the map showed the 12.3 acres bordering the Kenai Spur Highway for the satellite fire station and where the well will be that is in the process of being drilled. The area behind it would be the property to be used for a cross-country skiing, parks and recreation or swapping. BREAK: Councilman Smalley requested a break be taken. Williams concurred. Break was taken at 10:44 p.m. BACK TO ORDER: 10:55 P.M. H-11. Discussion - Goals & Objectives Update. Council referred to the short and long-term goals and objectives they previously approved and ratified on 11/23/94. Changes were as follows: SHORT-TERM GOALS Prioritv Proiect 1.

It was very enlightening. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 6, 1995 PAGE 40 b. Alaska Conference of Mayors - Williams reported he attend the Conference meeting in Barrow. They discussed the on- going fiscal gap problem. They made recommendations to the Blue Ribbon Committee. Their biggest concern is if anything will be done by the Committee. I-2. City Manager a. EDD Building - Manninen referred to a letter included in the packet in regard to the EDD's acquisition of the ARCO building. EDD is in the process of moving into the building. They plan to hold an open house in October. b. Carpeting - Manninen reported there is some concern in regard to the possible replacement of carpeting at the old library building. The preschool received a $2,000 donation to purchase the carpet. Council may want to visit or give some direction as to whether to replace the carpeting. It is a city building and they operate under a lease of the city. If it's a concern, he wants to talk with people renting and those not wanting to replace the carpet. Bookey asked why people were objecting as it is free money. Manninen replied the carpet is ten years old or more. People working there feel it should be replaced and they are willing to pay for it. Consensus of council was to replace the carpet. C. Boat Ramp Fee - Manninen reported he received a complaint about the $5.00 boat ramp fee. An individual has threatened he will come back in three or four months with a petition. He's a commercial fisherman. The individual is leaving to go outside. He believes the city should remove the $5.00 sign. The individual also stated he will not buy insurance or groceries in Kenai and is moving to Kasilof so the city won't get the fish tax and will petition 75 other fishermen to abolish the $5.00 fee. The individual's name is Fred Struman and says he has been fishing in the area since September 1, 1965. Manninen added, Struman's request is to remove the $5.00 fee. Williams stated he asked Struman if he owned property in Kenai and he was told yes. Manninen reported he told Struman that it was his business decision and he was sorry he made it over a $10.00 fee. The harbor doesn't make money. The dock does not make money even with the $5.00 fee. Should we have the person in KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 6, 1995 PAGE 41 any subdivision paying general fund money or making, somehow the harbor's going in the red and if we get rid of the little revenue we get there it wouldn't help the harbor commission or harbor fund, enterprise get in the black. Somehow it's being subsidized. We either have to raise fees or it won't get better by itself especially be removing the funds that help spurt it. I-3. Attorney I-3a. Courthouse Contaminated Soils Dispute Settlement Attorney Graves reported he attended a meeting in regard to the courthouse contaminated soils dispute settlement. After two days of discussions in Anchorage, a tentative settlement was reached. The city will get $240,000 cash in about 30-45 days, once everyone signs it; about $18,000 a year for about 3-1/2 years, until the $400,000 level is reached; that will leave about $93,000-94,000 of payments due which can be used to clean up Lot 13. It's expected that Lot 13 will take approximately $50,000 to $80,000 to clean it up. Essentially, the city will get all its money back for the courthouse problem and to clean Lot 13. Council congratulated Graves on his success. Graves requested a directive to authorize Manninen to sign settlement documents when they are finalized and are received. MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED to authorize City Manager Manninen to sign the settlement documents for the courthouse contaminated soils dispute when finalized and received.

Clerk Freas contacted the company and found that it is a county operation on a per ride fee. She will get more information if requested. Monfor added, she did not think the city deserved the knock they received from the article in the Peninsula Clarion. It was not accurate information. The only person the city heard from was from outside the city. Monfor stated she thought if the city would get involved in offering this type of transportation, it would be a nightmare waiting to happen. Council has discussed the physically challenged, but there are other disabilities too. Would the city have to include others in the transportation system as well? Monfor suggested the more appropriate venue would be United Way as the city is not always the source. There are other ways for support besides government. Councilman Smalley suggested those needing the transportation contact the area legislators and assembly members as well. C.

This issue has been researched and discussed by the KVCB on several occasions but we do feel it may be timely to do so again. The following are some initial thoughts that our executive committee surfaced at a recent meeting. 1. Should businesses collecting bed taxes be automatically members of the KVCB? 2. Should businesses collecting bed taxes be given a higher level of service than members of businesses outside the City of Kenai? 3. Should the KVCB memberships be restricted to only businesses inside the City of Kenai? We want to be fair to all our existing members & potential members and will seriously consider any direction given by the Kenai City Council. P. O. Box 1991, Kenai. Alaska 99611 9 (907) 283-1991 6-1 FUN IN THE MIDNIGHT SUN � �P••� pg. I Thank you in advance for your time. I am hoping to alleviate any doubt as well as highlight the benefit of FUN IN THE MIDNIGHT SUN - 6e,aiw1operating our primary On -Site location in the Kenai Municipal Airport. The first concern voiced was in reference to AFITMS's acquiring the rental space rather than the KV & CB. I personally do not feel this to be a conflict in any way. I am a member of the KV & CB and would only benefit from the growth of the center. I have spoken to Kim and Susan on several occasions on how I can personally assist in bringing in more business , therefore , more tax dollars to the Kenai area. I plan on purchasing mailing lists of organizations throughout the Lower 48, Alaska and Hawaii in addition to all of the major corporations which have representatives working in this area in hopes of there being many more conventions, meetings and retreats to our area. I am willing to submit the information I receive to the KV & CB since this also is a primary focus of the center. I have been invited to speak at the KV & CB on Monday at noon and welcome this opportunity. Secondly there are two spaces currently available at the airport. I believe neither AFITMS nor the KV & CB would suffer from BOTH areas being occupied simultaneously, but rather benefit. I work closely with a non-profit organization located in Nikiski and fully understand the need for exposure. In addition I have volunteered my time for the month of February to the Kenai Peninsula Food Bank, selling advertisements in the program which will be distributed at their Annual Basketball Game , helping to generate additional income for the new building site . In answer to the structure of the business. After further consideration I eliminated the word MEMBER from my contract and brochures. I feel this was causing much undue confusion and concern. Simply put , I am furnishing a service through inquiries which I will receive from my advertisements in the Milepost, Alaska Magazine and off of the Internet. At this time my On - Site location is neither on my contract binding me or limiting the number of businesses I can service. It will be an extension of the services I hope to offer my current list of customers and perhaps enlist new. pg.2 By the airport housing a professional, well run and maintained full service reservation center it will generate tax dollars to the Kenai area. There are many other businesses in Kenai which survive mainly from tourism each year. This location will enable me to suggest other activities , perhaps overlooked otherwise, in turn generating those much needed tax dollars and helping our area to grow. As a small business owner I and others take exception to the primary concern of only the four major hotels in Kenai. I understand fully the concerns of the council and I invite each hotel in Kenai to enlist my services which in turn will generate income derived from the bed tax. The system I am planning on implementing in placing reservations is as follows: A. To fill the needs of those inquiring. I will not place a visitor in an accommodation or recreational activity which does not meet their requirements. There is no sense in having a visitor to our area leave feeling their needs were not met. This will not generate referral business nor a return visit. B. I will use a rotation basis for my customers. There again keeping the visitors needs in mind. Example: Should business X be booked for a morning fishing trip on July 12th , yet they are next in rotation I will go through my list of customers which have an opening then, and business X will still be considered first with my next inquiry. The same applies for accommodations. Should hotel X be booked for July 12th I will then go to my list of customers to see who has available space meeting the requirements of my inquiry . I wilt furnish each and every business which enlists my services with the same consideration. I will to the best of my ability make reservations on an equal footing, keeping our visitors needs in mind at all times. We all know the number of options that are available to our visitors and it is my goal to help make their stay on the Kenai Peninsula as pleasant as possible. I will have personally visited and toured each of the businesses I represent. I strongly feel establishing this service will make their stay more pleasant, in turn having our visitors leave with good thoughts and lasting memories. Sincerely, P.D.

Kangas, d/b/a Kangas & Company. Fun in the Midnight Sun Reservation Central is a booking agency which can make many types of reservations for accommodations on the Kenai Peninsula, i.e. local fishing, air, hunting and tour guides, B&B's, hotels, motorhome rentals, RV parks, etc. Kangas would like to lease (on a trial basis) the space formerly used by Raven Transit for the months of June, July and August of 1996. Brochures would be available for different types of businesses. The booth would be attended and open from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Kangas has stated she would insure that brochures, which may be carried off and later left on chairs, etc., would be cleaned up. Details involved with rental of and delivery of motorhomes would be worked out. Kangas would like a decision in regard to leasing of the space as soon as possible in order that she may include the information in the Milepost and Alaska Magazine. Advertisements for those magazines must be arranged by September 1. The Airport Commission recommended the space be leased for the three-month period for the reservation service at a flat rate to be determined by the City Council. DOES COUNCIL HAVE ANY OBJECTIONS TO THE LEASING OF THIS SPACE, AT A FLAT RATE, TO KANGAS & COMPANY FOR THE PURPOSE OF HOUSING A RESERVATION SERVICE? IF NOT, AT WHAT RATE? FUN IN THE MIDNIGHT SUN Aewrvajion 6nlral o'f 6-'4'Ay INTRO: it is my contention to rent space in the Kenai City Airport for the sole purpose of offering my customers the best possible exposure in a high traffic location to assist them in successfully reserving all available space they have remaining open in the upcoming 1996 tourist season in the months of June, July and August. I further contend the service I have to offer will also assist visitors in expediting their travel plans here on the Kenai Peninsula. TYPE OF BUSINESS: A full service reservation booth catering to activities and accommodations on the Kenai Peninsula. This booth would be an extension of services I am already offering to local fishing , air , hunting and tour guides , B & B's , hotels , motorhome rental companies and RV parks. TIME FRAME: I am looking to rent space for the months of June, July and August of 1996. It would be a manned station from the hours of 8:OOAM - 8:OOPM. I am aware the Airport lends the space requested to visiting organizations and am hoping my request will not infringe on this service. On the other hand if the committee feels it would prefer the space be rented year round I am currently researching possibilities in reference to a reservation center for Alaskans traveling outside assisting them in their plans. Neither service to include airline reservations. LOCATION : The space on the end next to National Car Rental. I do not feel much space will be needed as long as there is electric and telephone accessibility. FUN IN THE MIDNIGHT SUN ✓[eao na&n Cnhvl is a booking agency which will be on line in September. I am offering through my agency, to my customers . exposure throughout the world. I will be advertising on the Internet in the Alaska Travel Section, in Alaska Magazine and in the Milepost ( I would like to include my physical location for June/July & August). I offer my customers the luxury of call forwarding all there calls to my lines, private mail boxes . a mailing service and brochure distribution. The Kenai City Airport is my first and foremost choice for an ON - SITE reservation booth and I hope that the committee can see the need as well.

Unfortunately, I received it too late to include the required resolution for the grant in the council packet for the 9/20/95 meeting. Since the state is giving us until November 20, for revisions, I will include the resolution for council approval at the meeting of 10/4/95. The city is still short $960,000 to complete our Water Quality and Quantity/Development Program. (Notice I added 'and Quantity" to this year's project name.) I assumed this project is still the city's top priority and filled out the grant application as such. I will not mail the application until next Monday (9/25/95) so if council wants to change something they can do so at this meeting or at a work session. I will revise our application by sending in an executed copy of the resolution after the council passes it on October 4, 1995.

PROJECT NAME: Water Quality and Quantity/Development Program 2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The City of Kenai is requesting state assistance in the form of a $211,665 grant for Water System Improvements. The problems with our present water system that this grant 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 Suaoly. 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 are presently drilling the production well. 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 pressuretflow 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 loons. This will help solve the problems listed in #5 above. The combined funds of (1) this years Capital Project Matching Grant Program; (2) previous years Capital Project Matching Grants; (3) past and future legislative grants; (4) past and future ADEC grants. should be enough to complete this project. The project is scheduled for completion by December, 1996. 3. LOCAL SHARE: The funds for the local share for this project will come from fund balances in the form of cash from the City of Kenai. State of Alaska Tony Knowles, Governor September 13, 1995 Dear Mayor: se IM Received Pvof Ke o pt. Office of Management and Budget PO Box 110020 Juneau, Alaska 99811-0020 (907) 465-4660, fax 465-3008 This letter is to ask for your community's list of projects for the state's FY97 Capital Project Matching Grant Program. We are streamlining the grants process this year so you only have to deal with one state agency rather than two. From now on, the Department of Administration will be handling both your application and the processing of your grants. Your new contact person's name, phone and mailing address are in the enclosed packet. The statute requires that communities submit the project lists by October 1. Since we are late in getting this application packet to you, and since many communities have difficulty getting final resolutions approved until later in the fall, the Department of Administration will accept revisions to project lists until November 20. Changes after November 20 cannot be included in the capital budget submitted by the Governor in December but can be made through your legislators. Funding levels for the Capital Project Matching Grant Program have not yet been determined for next year's budget. However, you should assume that it will be no more than this year's amount. The FY97 amount may be less than the FY96 level since there is increasing pressure on the budget for basic capital needs around the state. For your planning guideline, please use the FY96 funding level. The final decision will be made in December. If you have questions or need assistance in preparing your proposals, please contact the department staff identified in the application packet. We wish you well in planning your projects.

The park was named for a young man who contributed much to the community, however, the park is open for anyone desiring to commemorate their own loved one. The City Council hereby establishes Policies and Procedures for the implementation of the planting of the park to ensure the longest life of the planting and the uniform distribution which will enhance the individual material planted and the park as a whole. POLICIES 1. The Kenai City Council has approved a design for the Memorial Park and all planting will be done in accordance with the plan and the suggested list of planting materials. 2. Any requests for deviation from the plan or planting materials should be reviewed by Council. 3. Plaques must be uniform due to the dimensions of the spaces in the sidewalk and of the same materials (black granite), however, the wording and logos are up to the individual. Any inappropriately worded plaques of an objectionable nature will be removed. 4. All materials which are planted in the Park are to be done by a licensed landscaper. The City will maintain the materials after the material is planted by the landscaper. The landscaper has agreed to guarantee the material for one year. The City will not guarantee any planting done by individuals nor beyond the one year guarantee. 5. Should any one purchase exceed $6,500, the purchase must go to competitive bid. 1. Any person desiring to plant a memorial planting material, please contact the City Clerk. The City Clerk will assist with the selection of location and material to be planted. -1- A design is available for selection for placement and a suggested list of materials is also available from the City Clerk. 2. The City Clerk will assist in the selection of the wording for the plaque. The plaque will be placed by the Parks & Recreation crew at the desired location. 3. Upon receipt of the cost of the plaque and planting material, the City Clerk will place the order at the appropriate time. (If the order is received during the planting season, the order will be done upon receipt.. If the order is received during the months when planting is inappropriate, the order will be assembled and held until Spring.) 4. The landscaper and the Parks crew will handle all required work done in the park. The landscaper guarantees the planting for one year. The Parks crew will maintain the planting thereafter. -2- CITY OF KENA: -l'-� It Od eC4,t2q 41 210 FIDALGO AVE., SUITE 200 KENAI, ALASKA 99611-7794 TELEPHONE 907-283-7535 FAX 907-283.3014 ri..00a MEMORANDUM 111111, 1992 TO: ALL CONCERNED FROM: Carol L.

The service that has been the most help to me was the facilitation of the ON Council Planning meeting. it was your goal setting assistance. i understand that it a part of your community outreach program.

AML Board Meets In Barrow At the invitation of President Don Long, the Alaska Municipal League Board of Directors held its annual summer meeting in Barrow on August 25 and 26. The Alaska Conference of Mayors also had their meeting in conjunction with the Board. Under clear and cool blue skies, the Board met at the Barrow City Hall to approve the 1996 operating budget, changes in the Associate program, and discuss under- taking a new strategic plan. In addition, the Board reviewed the proposed 1996 AML Policy Statement as submitted by the Legislative Committee. The Committee outlined a substantially changed Policy Statement which will be forwarded to AML members to be voted on at the annual meeting during the 1995 AML Local Government Conference in Valdez on November 17. The Board was joined by the members of the Alaska Conference of Mayors in the afternoon where invited guest, Senator John Torgerson, discussed changes to SB 20, the Alaska Municipal Basic Service program, and other important legislative issues. The Board remains committed to pursuing legislation to combine the two municipal aid programs into one that is more closely tied to the basic services municipalities provide. The Board and Mayors were delighted to be invited to Mayor Long's brand new home for a real arctic dinner of salmon and caribou soup prepared by his family. The delegates were also treated to a tour of the area provided by the city. Saturday's joint meeting was a teleconference with the Long Range Financial Planning Commission (see related story). The League would like to extend their thanks Mayor Long and the City of Barrow for hosting the summer Board meeting. The Board feels it is critical to gather in member communities around the state in order to better understand regional differences and enjoy the culture of every community.

This exceeded the FY93 Strategic Plan ex- pectations. which called for a member- ship of 100 in FY98. New to the AML/JIA in FY96 are: Bering Strait School District Coffman Cove Denali Borough Schools Dillingham Schools Diomede Egegik Gambell Hooper Bay Kaltag Kodiak Kuspuk School District McGrath Mountain Village Savoonga Wrangell Alakanuk Police Department and the Wrangell Police Department havejoined e Law Enforcement Liability Pool kLELP). The new members bring the total premium dollars collected by the self-insurance/risk management pool to approximately $6.2 million. Adding new members is to everyone's advantage. Administrative costs drop as new members are added, and most importantly, the risk is spread over more members. The AMUJIA currently in- sures over $96 million in payroll, and nearly $558 million in property. This kind of money buys AMUJIA partici- pants a lot of clout with reinsurers. With nearly two-thirds of the municipal mar- ket, the AML/JIA is the major player in Alaska municipal risk financing.

AML Local Government Conference Week November 13-17,1995 Valdez Civic Center Register Now Note from the Executive Director Kevin C. Ritchie Do Your City a Favor, Get Out of Town! A veteran mayor once gave advice to a newly elected city official. With tongue-in-cheek, she suggested that occasionally he ought to do his constitu- ency a favor and get out of town. As the laughter subsided, she explained that meeting other officials and learning what is occurring in other cities, the state capital, and even in Washington D.C., would pay dividends for those he represented. Put simply, ideas and creativity flourish with cross-fertilization. The opportu- nity to exchange views with people who face similar challenges in differing locales can be edifying, gratifying, and sometimes horrifying. It often leads one to critically compare performance with one's peers. Such dialogue is often the spark that ignites creative energy to find new solutions to old problems. The notion that there is something to be gained from conferring with one's peers does not always set well with some. Journalists, pundits, and the government experts at the local coffee shop can exude a cynicism that rejects the value of conferences and seminars. Now, we've all heard of the occasional official who is over anxious to go somewhere at someone else's expense. We've heard stories of those who attend regional, state, or national meetings and fail to take advantage of the opportunities to learn. But, these exceptions should not make the rule. The sterility of staying at home will never provide the dynamic exchange of ideas needed to survive tomorrow's challenges. For municipal officials in Alaska, the annual AML Local Government Confer- ence is the paramount opportunity to exchange ideas, divulge failures, and share visions. Nowhere else offers the workshops, general sessions, and conversation for city officials in Alaska. Every event is designed to increase our member's opportunity to learn something new ... to take something back to his or her citizens. Learning requires an expenditure of effort, thought, and follow-through. Some may consider it expensive, but its price tag pales in comparison to what it costs your city when you stay home.

The federal funds come from the ISTEA (Intermodal Surface Trans- portation Efficiency Act of 1991). The state plan anticipates receiving about $220 million per year for 12 years from the feds through ISTEA. Department of Transportation and Public Facilities Commissioner Joe Perkins, met with AML staff and Mayor Dennis Egan, Chair of the AML Trans- portation Subcommittee of the Legisla- tive Committee, to discuss the state's plan to spend federal transportation money. He is also looking for commu- nity input. The state proposes spending the funds in the following categories: • Alaska's National Highway System Maintenance - state recommended funding at about $120 million per year - to maintain/improve 1,610 miles of ma- jor Alaskan highways and the Alaska Marine Highway System. The state does not anticipate taking community nomi- nations in this category since the main- tenance of these transportation links are the responsibility of the state. The state will take community nominations for the following three categories. - Community Transportation Pro- gram - state recommended funding at about $80 million per year - to maintain/ improve local community roads. Will rank projects nominated by local com- munities accordingto health, safety, and community effort. Nomination forms have been sent to each community. • Transportation for Economic De- velopment and Trails and Recre- ational Access for Alaska - State rec- ommended funding at about $20 million per year - for new projects that will support economic development, or im- prove Alaska's transportation system for residents and visitors by funding projects such as pullouts, trailheads, bike trails, new scenic road develop- ment, roadside rest stops, interpretive displays, etc. Nomination forms have been sent to each community.

President of the National Association of Counties (NACo), at the 1995 NACo Conference in Atlanta, Georgia, in July. Teleconference (continued from page 1) the gap between how much the state spends and the revenues it collects. The "fiscal gap" is about $500 million and will grow until the state runs outof reserves in the next five to seven years. The Alaska Municipal League was successful in having municipal issues included in the legislative resolution creating the Commission. Bob Loescher, former Juneau council and assembly member, who heads the Local Govern- ment Subcommittee of the Commission, and other commission members, have worked closely with the AML in bringing municipal issues before the Commission. ACoM and the AML presented a joint resolution to the Commission urging the state to take action to close the fiscal gap with a well thought out long range financial plan, expressed the willingness of municipal officials to help develop the plan, and urged the Commission to carefully consider the impact of revenue and spending reduction plans on municipal government. Mayors and other elected officials also responded to questions from the Commission members. Although the Commission has been very cooperative and appears to understand that municipalities are critical to the success of the plan, municipal officials must continue to be involved in the process. Some of the options being considered by the Commission to close the fiscal gap include a state sales tax which could impact local sales taxes, deep cuts or elimination of all local municipal aid programs, a 50% increase in the minimum local funding for schools, and large unfunded transfers of state service responsibilities to municipalities. Senator Steve Reiger, Commission member, cautioned against simply transferring the state's fiscal problem to local governments. The Commission has planned public hearings from 7:00 - 9:00 p.m. on: September 11 - Interior/North September 12 - Southcentral September 13 - Anchorage LIO September 14 - Southeast Your participation is critical. The hearings will be teleconferenced from the Legislative Information Offices in the above areas, or you may dial in by calling 1-800-478-7612. You may testify and then you must hang up. Copies of the Commission's report are available by calling 258-8165. Call Kevin Ritchie at 586-1325 to get copies of the AML/ACoM Resolution and the written municipal testimony or to discuss municipal involvement in the planning process.

Changes are occurring in Wash- ington D.C. at a lightening pace and will impact the lives and future of Alaskans. 2. The Alaskan Congressional Del- egation is at the forefront of the move- ment. There is growing interest in "what Alaskans think" in the Lower 48. The Alaska Municipal League is a founding member of both the National League of Cities and the National Asso- ciation of Counties. NLC and NACo are highly respected in Washington D.C. The League can make direct appoint- ments to the policy committees that help shape federal policy and bills.

MEMORANDUM TO: Tom Manninen, City Manager FROM: Keith Kornelis, Public Works Director DATE: September 7, 1995 SUBJECT: Old Fire Tanker Truck The Public Works Department has operators that are capable and trained to safely operate the fire tanker truck that was just replaced. This truck was purchased used from Doyle's Fuel and improved to meet the Fire Department's needs. Unfortunately the truck has a 16 speed manual transmission and the Fire Department does not have personnel trained to safely operate it. If the truck is not in the right range it can be damaged and be dangerous. This tanker was not designed for emergency use. If the tank is fully loaded with 5000 gallons it reacts slowly. The Fire Department wants to respond fully loaded to provide as much water as possible. If the tanker is only filled to 3000 gallons, it operates better. The tank does have baffles in it, but they are not very good ones. Public Works did use this truck with a partial load of water at Willow and Fidalgo for help in compaction of the repaired sewer line. We drove it slowly and the tank was not full. It was a safe operation. Public Works is considering some options concerning this equipment that would make it safer and more useful. 1. Take the tank off the truck and put an oil distributor system on it for dust control oiling. 2. Modify the tank to make it smaller and place more and better baffles in it. 3. Selling the unit at the next city auction. KK/kw cc: Planning and Zoning Commission GOALS & OBJECTIVES WORKSHOP FEBRUARY 5, 1994 PAGE 6 POLICE DEPARTMENT FINDINGS: a. Short-term. Purchase new car radios. b. Long-term. Purchase of video cameras for police cars. C. Long-term. Additional personnel. FIRE DEPARTMENT Discussion followed regarding the replacement of Water Tanker-1. Also discussed was the forwarding of two City fire trucks to the Fire Training School for their training, but the trucks would remain available for City's use as needed. FINDINGS: a. Long-term. Develop a two-way system (with Fire Training School) for use of two fire trucks. b. Short-term. Purchase of tanker truck. C. Short-term. Develop a cost analysis for either upgrade/repair or replacement of the generator system. AIRPORT The replacement/cleaning of the carpet was discussed. Also the car rental agencies leases and leased areas. Williams suggested when one car rental agency pulls out, another should not be let in. Monfor stated she has made an effort to look at other car rental agencies at other airports as to the size of the spaces, the accommodations as a whole, etc. Monfor stated she has not found any that have dividers, glass partitions, etc. like those at the Kenai Airport. They are mostly a counter with a big sign (company name) on the wall. Williams suggested the re -negotiation of the car rental leases be bid on April 1 instead of July 1 due to the timing of when the agencies buy their new vehicles. Leo Oberts discussed his opinion the airport needs to be equipped for jet aircraft landing and regular flights. FINDINGS a. Short-term. Have a professional cleaning service look at the carpet to see if it can be cleaned and look better. Also their estimate whether the carpet will last another year.

As much as possible should be paid off by the water/sewer fund -- one-half paid by water/sewer fund and rest paid by General Fund. Manninen stated usually an enterprise fund stands alone. There have been law suits filed by taxpayers because they see it as using the general taxpayers money to support a self-supporting revenue fund. Manninen recommended the funding be done with a low interest or interfund transfer. The money would be paid back to the water/sewer fund when it could be afforded. Manninen suggested a short-term project could be taking care of the turbidity problem in Well No. 2 for $70,000. Discussion followed about drilling a test well at Wellhouse No. 2, fire ratings, using Wellhouse No. 1. Williams suggested directing Administration to review the Nelson study, determine what is the best for the city and recommend what to do. Come back to Council with recommendations by December of 1994. Consensus of council was yes. FIRE DEPARTMENT: Tanker No. 1 - Chief Burnett explained the need for a new tanker. Burnett reported they investigated converting the old tanker, but j found out after the pump would not be able to be certified. The present tanker is unsafe. A decision is needed whether to convert the present tanker or do something else to support the required fire flow, etc. Burnett explained the safety hazards of the present tanker. Brown determined there was presently $693,000 in the Heavy Equipment Fund. On June 30, 1994, it will be increased to $993,000 for the next fiscal year. Williams suggested Administration be directed to come back with the cost of a new tanker truck and determine whether to purchase it in this fiscal year. Burnett stated a new truck would cost $250,000. Burnett discussed the advantages of a new truck compared to a used truck (additional people can be carried on the truck, larger capacity, increased reload time, etc.). GOALS & OBJECTIVES WORKSHOP II APRIL 13, 1994 PAGE 11 jMonfor stated she believed the purchase of a new truck needed to be now. Council recommendation was to get price information and start the process. Williams referred to the street and paving information included in the Public Works report. Complimented Public Works for the work. AIRPORT: Carpet Cleaning: Ernst reported cleaning the carpet would cost $2,200. Replacement of the carpet, with ten-year guarantee carpet, would be $40,553. Ernst added they will try to patch the carpet as well. Council directed administration to implement the cleaning and repair program for the carpet. Funding should be taken from contingency this year. BREAK TAKEN: 10 MINUTES Carpet Replacement: Ernst showed Council carpet samples from which he plans to choose to replace the carpet. Williams suggested Administration be directed to put the replacement costs in next year's budget and replace it about this time next year. council consensus was to direct Administration to clean the carpet this year and replace it next year. Bannock referred to the paving list and asked if there was a chance of paving in Dolchok. Williams stated Council will need to come back and prioritize the lists. Freas should go back through the lists and remove those items already attended to and put a space before the item in order for the Council to prioritize by number. Monfor reported she had been a judge at the "Caring for the Kenai" competition. There was an in-depth study in regard to erosion. She asked if she could borrow the entry for Council's review. Monfor suggested a long-term erosion study may have to be made short term. The erosion on the bluff needs to be gotten under control before it is too late. Council directive was to remove erosion from the long-term list and place it on the short-term list.

Large residential areas such as East Kenai, where the city limits is 7 miles from the station, and VIP subdivision where the city limits is 5.5 miles from the station, have no water system in place to supply fire hydrants. A water tanker is necessary to provide a dependable water supply when fires occur in those residential areas, as well as for hazardous materials incidents, airport emergencies, and to assist neighboring fire departments and State Forestry when they request mutual aid. The water tanker presently used by the Kenai Fire Department was built in the mid-1960's as a 5,200 gallon fuel tanker. When converted for use as a water tanker, few structural changes were made to accommodate the 2 pounds per gallon weight difference of water. It does not meet minimum national standards for acceleration and braking for its present use. It must be housed 66 percent of its capacity to reduce the weight on the suspension system and tires. This 33 percent reduction in capacity does not greatly affect the fire fighting abilities of the tanker as it is used strictly as a transport vehicle, not a pumper. However, driving with this reduced load creates the problem of constant movement of water in the tank. When stopping, the water rushes forward causing the tanker to slide. Baffles in the tank were designed for full capacity, and are not adequate for a reduced load. Off loading water from the tanker is accomplished by a gravity dump system. Discharge ports supplied by a small PTO powered booster pump allow the discharge of water through hoses at a rate of approximately 450 gallons per minute (GPM). The tank must be filled from a fire hydrant or from another fire engine, as the tanker zas no ability to draft. The PTO pump enables it only to transfer water. Drafting is the ability of a tanker or pumper to take water from a static source, such as a river or pond, by creating a vacuum with its fire pump. By obtaining a tanker/pumper which meets minimum national standards, several objectives would be met. A tanker/pumper designed for a 3,000 gallon capacity would be fitted with proper suspension, drive train, steering, and baffle systems. -1- A mid -ship mounted fire pump with a rated capacity of 1,000 GPM would enable drafting and would create the ability to pump required fire flows. A component of this type of pump, known as a Jet Dump System, would enable rapid dumping or transfer of water. The addition of an on -board tank for foam would enable the tanker/pumper to be used for fuel and hazardous materials spills, as well as to compliment the Department's aircraft crash trucks. The need to replace the present tanker is real. Refitting this tanker in an attempt to meet minimum national standards is not a feasible choice. Costs of materials, labor, engineering, and transportation would be nearly as much as the purchase price of a new vehicle. Putting all costs aside, pump manufacturers will not sell a pump system for such a project, effectively eliminating a refit. The following TEST, REFIT, and FLOWS sections explain: 1. How comparison testing of Tanker 1 was performed against Engine 1, which is similar in design to modern tanker/pumpers, and what the results of the tests are. 2. Possible refit configurations of the tank and pump. 3. Required fire flows for specific structures, and available water supplies nearest those structures. -2- COMPARISON OF AVERAGE RESPONSE TIMES (Tanker - 1 vs. Engine 1) This comparison was made by performing three tests of Tanker - 1 and averaging those response times for travel to the end of Cannery Rd., dumping water, returning to RFD and filling the water tank to storage capacity of 3,500 gallons. Test times were marked at the same time of day, similar traffic patterns, and similar weather and road conditions. Drivers with diverse experience in driving the tanker were used in each test: Much experience, moderate experience, and little experience. Tanker 1 suffers from air leaks and must have the air run up each time it is started. This was the case during each test. Wiring problems also exist on the tanker, but were not a factor during the tests. All tests indicated a problem with drifting of the tanker on the road, as the water was in motion continuously. Engine 1 was run through a single test, under similar time of day, similar traffic patterns, and similar weather conditions, and the same road conditions as the tanker tests. Engine 1 was considered a universal use vehicle for test purposes due to ease of driving, ease of operation, and similar experience in use by personnel. The water capacity for this vehicle is 2,000 gallons. RESULTS - AVERAGE OF ALL TESTS Response to End of Cannery Rd.

Costs ranged from as little as $4,000 in labor charges to $10,000 in labor charges. Depending upon which proposed refit was chosen, materials costs could be as high as $10,000 for the tank and frame only. The purchase and installation of a 1000 GPM Hale single stage centrifugal pump with Jet Dump capabilities, wiring and piping, an appropriate transmission, engineering, transportation to refit site, and the refit of the tank itself will carry a total estimated cost of $95,000 to $160,000. Approximately 60 to 75 hours of labor will be required for the tank refit, and approximately 80 hour of labor to refit the transmission and install the pump. NOTE: Costs quoted regarding the pump refit, engineering, and transportation are from Hale Fire Pumps, Waterous Fire Pumps, and United Fire Service of Seattle. None of these companies would agree to provide pumps or parts for such a refit, as they argue that required pump ratings and U. L. listings would not be attainable with this vehicle.

Reliability. Durability. And ease of operation. Hale's single -stage midship pumps deliver. And keep on delivering. When you want maximum efficiency, Hale's compact 750, 1000 and 1250 GPM QSG Series midship pumps are the answer. They've got the power firefighters need to get the job done, plus all the features found on Hale's higher -rated units. No wonder Hale is the leader in the firefighting industry. Hale offers the features firefighters want. Hale knows what firefighters need in a oump. And their single -stage midship pumps are built to provide it. High performance and easy operation are standard Hale features: • Heavy-duty gearbox increases power and engine/transmission- pump match flexibility. Shorter than other gearboxes by 30%, it allows for a decreased wheelbase and improves drive line angles. The gearbox is available in several ratios that are compatible with the most popular engine transmissions to ensure maximum performance. NFPA 1901 Standard Ratings QSG 75 750 GPM at 150 PSI (2840 L/min ®10.3 bar) QSG 100 1000 GPM at 150 PSI (3785 L/min ®10.3 bar) QSG 125 1250 GPM at 150 PSI (4730 L/min Q 10.3 bar) (GPM — U.S. gallons per minute) • Hardened chrome nickel steel gears. • Oversized relief valve offers greater bypass with less restriction and less pressure rise. • Wrap -around clearance rings increase pump efficiency and last longer than conventional flat rings. • Full -flow waterways cut friction losses and deliver maximum pressure at discharge valves. • Large suction inlets and double suction impeller deliver pump capac- ities beyond NFPA 1901 standard ratings. • Impeller inlets are on opposite sides, as are discharge volute cutoffs, so axial and radial hydraulic forces are balanced. • Pump shaft is supported close to the impeller to minimize shaft deflec- tion. Decreased shaft deflection reduces wear on shaft, impeller, clearance rings, and bearings, and eliminates need for two -pump packings. • Patented sacrificial packing rings protect pump shaft against galvanic corrosion. • One-piece body gives more room to work, allows better access to packing, minimizes potential piping leaks, and makes routine mainte- nance easier. • Eleven full flow discharge openings, including 4 inches to accommodate large discharge requirements. • Electrically driven, positive displace- ment, priming vane -type rotary pump features single panel control valve activation. • Manual pump shift with indicating lights and two -position positive lock. 'ustomize Hale oumos with a ,vide range of top-quality options. • TPM — Total Pressure Master Relief Valve System automatically monitors and responds to pressure changes on both the suction and discharge sides of the pump. Exceeds NFPA 1901 specifications for suction and discharge relief valves. • TRV 120 — Thermal Relief Valve helps protect pump from overheat- ing by automatically relieving water from the pump when water tempera- ture exceeds 120OF (4900. • Maintenance free, self-adjusting mechanical seal in place of pump packing. Provides a positive seal to atmosphere under all pumping conditions: eliminates pump packing adjustments and maintenance. • Full 6 inch butterfly valve rated at 600 PSI (41.3 bar) keeps the coupling extension out of the firefighter's way. Only 1-5/8 inches thick, it mounts behind operator panel. Model 30BPF full flow tank valve for maximum tank to pump flows. Hale's unique dual tank suction line feature can utilize two 30BPF valves to accommodate tank to pump flows over 1000 GPM (3785 L/min). A buiNn check valve prevents tank over pressurization. • 25BS Series sweep elbow suction valve system allows higher intake with lower friction loss. • Two -stage high-pressure booster pump driven directly off the gearbox provides pressure up to 800 PSI (54.4 bar). • Hale bronze or bronze -fitted full - flow, bail -type in4ine valves feature patented easy -operating pressure - balanced design and top opening construction. Available to meet any piping requirements. • Full -flow 2-1/2 inch Droop-Snoot® discharge valves feature chrome cover, built-in hose bleeder valve, and 300 angle hose connection to prevent hose kinks at the pump. • Top mount, remote valve control panel arrangement. Available on all Hale midship pumps. • Power shift for quick remote opera- tion of the pump shift from the cab. Only Hale pumps have Auto-Lube-D. This patented sleeve bearing system doesn't just automatically lubricate with oil. It also seals out, and actually repels, dirt and water by putting the safest, most rugged type of "extended life" bearing right in the heart of the pump — next to the im- pellers, where it does the most good. An ingeniously simple pumping arrangement built into the main pump shaft continuously pumps oil through the bearing. A unique pressure balancing system always keeps the oil pressure inside the sealed bearing slightly higher than the water pressure outside — whether you're on a high pressure hydrant, drafting, or relaying. Dirt and water are literally forced away from the shaft, displaced by the lubri- cant at the seal point. This results in longer life for shaft, seal, bearing, packing, impeller, and clearance rings, How the Hale Auto -tube bearing repels dirt while it oils itself. A miniature centrifugai pump (A) is built right into the shaft of all Hale midship pumps. This miniature pump continu- ously forces oil -16- from the reservoir (B) through the bearing (C) and back again. A balancing chamber (D) behind the oil reservoir is connected by a passageway to the inlet side of the pump. This chamber always keeps the pressure in the oil reservoir equal to water pressure — whether you're pumping at high inlet pressure or pulling vacuum. The miniature pump adds enough extra pressure to keep the oil flowing constantly at a few PSI higher than water pressure. Thus, oil pressure inside the double lip -type seal (E) is always slightly higher than water pressure outside. Dirt and water are repelled by this higher pressure. An Auto-Lube bearing does more than just repel dirt. It ensures contir - uous lubrication, even when you're pumping dry. It permits the use of a compact, double lip -type oil seal, and maintains a constant film of oil under this, seal to prevent shaft wear. And bec:cuse its built into the main pump bony, it completely eliminates the need for high pressure packing.

FB ITEM B: SCHEDULED PUBLIC COMMENT -1. Elton McGahan - Alaska Circle Track Association/Twin City Raceways. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 15, 1995 PAGE 2 McGahan referred to his letter of request which was included in the meeting packet. McGahan requested the retired Kenai Fire Department tanker truck be donated to the Alaska Circle Track Association, Twin City Raceway. The donation of the truck would allow them to better service their race track and water grass planted last year, etc. Council's allowing their long-term use of the truck would allow them to go forward with their goals. McGahan added the truck is not worthy to use on the highway and they could insure that the truck would still be of value to the community. Their organization provides scholarships to people involved in motor care careers. Councilwoman Monfor asked what the liability to the City would be if the truck were donated to this organization. Attorney Graves explained that it would be better to donate the truck rather than let them use it as presented in the letter of request. With donating the truck "as is," liability to the City would cease. Smalley asked if the City no longer is using the truck because it is not safe to carry water, etc., and the organization uses it to haul water and water their track, and their is an accident, what happens then. Graves stated he was not familiar with the truck and does not know if the truck would be suitable to use at the track. Graves went on to say, the benefit to donating the truck "as is" is because the City is not saying it is worthy of use for any particular purpose. If they use it and there is an accident, it would be their problem. Smalley asked if it would be better to auction the truck. Williams stated the race track has their own liability insurance for the equipment it owns. There may be some modification to the truck that could be done to make it applicable for use as a watering truck instead of for firefighting purposes. Attorney Graves stated he did not think there was a big distinction between selling the truck or giving it away. There would be no warranties. Swarner asked if the truck had been declared surplus. Manninen answered it has not been declared surplus, however it would have to be in order for it to go to auction. Donation may be fine, but to whom. Some items have been donated to other units of government which he sees as a different type of agency. That is a distinction which needs to be made here. This organization is not a 503(c) or governmental agency. Manninen added he did not KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 15, 1995 PAGE 3 think a donation would be the right vehicle. The truck should be either auctioned, held and placed in a fire museum, or donated to the fire training school. The City would not want the liability five years down the road. Bannock asked what the normal plan would be for this type of equipment. Mann.inen answered it would be held or put in the surplus property sale. Bannock asked if there was any other department in the City needing the truck. Swarner suggested Parks & Recreation. McGillivray stated if the equipment is not useable or driveable by the Fire Department, he would not want to use it. Councilman Bookey stated if the truck has been pulled out of use by the City, it should be put into auction. The City needs to get rid of it. Bookey suggested the City could give a donation of funding to help the Circle Track organization purchase the truck. McGahan stated the truck would be driven at a speed of approximately five miles an hour and would not be used on the highway. Williams added he believed the liability to the City would end as soon as the title is signed over. The truck would be donated "as is," without warranty. The Circle Track organization has their own liability insurance. He would like to donate the truck as it is a worthy organization. Smalley agreed with Bookey. He is aware the organization is worthy and has done a tremendous amount of benefit to the community and with the students at the school. However, he believes it would be best to declare the truck surplus and auction it. The City maybe could provide assistance there. Smalley added he would feel more comfortable disposing of the equipment in that manner. He definitely does not want to keep the truck in the City. Williams asked if Smalley was concerned the City might still be the owner of the vehicle by him saying "keeping it in the city." Smalley answered no, he would still prefer the truck be declared surplus and sold at auction. Bookey suggested the truck could bring $8,000-$10,000 at auction. Bookey added he was not comfortable with donating anything that is worth that much to anybody. Bannock agreed with Bookey and KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 15, 1995 PAGE 4 added unless there is a problem the way the truck sits. If the truck can be sold for $8,000-$10,000, it should be sold. Bannock suggesting taking the tank off the truck to make it safer. Bookey stated he was not willing to jeopardize the City. The Circle Track organization wants to give the truck back if they disband. If done that way, the ownership would stay with the City. Williams stated he noted that and was concerned, but also read it as just their thought. Monfor suggested selling the truck to the organization for one dollar in order to cease the liability. Graves stated there is no restriction for donating public property, but public property cannot be sold without a public auction. Swarner stated she had a problem with donating the truck to the first group that asks. It is not known if there is some other group interested in it. Swarner added she did not want to give the truck away. Myrna Sands - Member of the Circle Track Association. Sands stated she wrote the letter and thought the City was ready to let the truck go. They stated they would give the truck back because they were unsure of the process. Sands added she was hearing the organization is willing to take the truck knowing it may be unsafe, but the City would want to sell it to people that are iunaware the truck is not in good shape. Council answered no. Williams suggested Council take the request under advisement for a while and see what Administration will do if the truck is declared surplus or donated. Maybe then there will be a clearer plan of what to do with it. B-2. Vivian Swanson - Property Foreclosure/Government Lot 128. Swanson reviewed with Council her letter of March 10, 1995 which was included in the packet. Swanson requested the City Council to reconvey Government Lot 128 which had been deeded to the City due to unpaid assessments in 1986 foreclosure proceedings. Swanson explained she believed that some of the monies paid to the City for assessments were paid to the wrong assessment account (Government Lot 196 of Section 31 which had previously been conveyed to Sonja Letzring, sister of John R. Swanson, KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JULY 19, 1995 PAGE 36 I-7. Airport Manager Airport Manager Ernst referred to his monthly report which was included in the packet. Councilman Bannock stated he really appreciated the project update which was on the last page of the report. Bannock also stated he did not want the towing amounts received and number of tows reported on the front. Consensus of council was to keep it in the report. Williams added, the information tracks statistics of whether the population is responding to the overnight parking regulations, etc. ITEM J: DISCUSSION J-1. Citizens Marion Nelson - P.O. Box 3612, Kenai. Nelson stated she supports the development of an ice rink. There is a potential to bring revenue into the community. With the dramatic change in regard to access to the Sports Arena, an ice rink is needed. Nelson also reported the Nikiski rink will be enclosed on three sides. J-2. Council Bookey - Bookey reported he will include the AML policy statement information in the next packet. Bookey requested council review it and pass on any comments they may have. He will be attending a board meeting in Barrow on August 25 and 26. They may also discuss the voting structure of the organization. There is a concern that more governments are dropping out. Monfor - Complimented the Borough dump site. It has been nicely landscaped, etc. However, the hours need to be extended. Measles - No report. Bannock - Thanked McGillivray, Bob Frates and the Parks crew for their work on the lawns, etc. Williams requested the garbage can lids at the pavilion be removed from the roof and placed back on the cans. Smalley - Complimented the city beautification efforts. Smalley asked if the tanker truck would be included in the next city auction. Kornelis stated they may remove the tank from the Se KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JULY 19, 1995 PAGE 37 truck and use the chassis for another use. Williams asked what J would be done with the tank. Williams suggested using it for it confined space entry at the Fire Training Facility.
