Williams and Kenai City Council 210 Fidalgo Av Ste 200 Kenai AK 99611 Dear Mayor & Council: This letter is to request set net fishing leases with the City of Kenai for Kendall H. Carlson and Thad A. Carlson. Our site is located on your northern city limit boundary and part of it is outside city limits where we have a state lease. Ken has fished this location for 36 years and Thad has assisted him for 15 years. We filed our applications 5 years ago on July 17, 1990 and paid $1200.00 deposit. Each year we have checked on the progress and have been told no action had been taken because they wanted to wait for the existing 10-year leases to expire and then look at the basis for granting leases. The existing 10-year leases expire at this time and we understand current lease holders have requested and been granted new leases. To our knowledge we are the only ones on our beach not granted a lease. Of special interest is that half of our #3 running line is in the city and half is in state waters. Our fishing location has been well established long before the new ruling of transferring jurisdiction from the state to municipalities came into existence. We ask that our leases be granted on the same basis as other lease holders and feel this is the time to take action as other leases are renewed to avoid discriminatrion. We feel we have been patient and ask you to direct correspondence to the addresses on our 5-year-old applications or call us at the phone numbers listed. Patiently and Sincerely, n � / /X(vLj;/ i \ Kendall H.

Manninen, City Manager -f-DNl' Date: August 23, 1995 RE: SHORE FISHERY LEASES Chapter 11.20 of the city code entitled LEASING OF TIDELANDS sets forth the city's requirements to make sites available for beneficial industries on city -owned tidelands. Specifically, KMC 11.20.040, Classification Prior to Lease Required provides: Before accepting applications to lease tidelands, the area involved shall have first been classified for leasing by the City Council with the approval of the Advisory Planning and Harbor Commissions, and their availability advertised in a newspaper of general circulation in the area once each week for two successive weeks, not less than thirty (30) days prior to the time set for the closing of the acceptance of applications, and that all applications are available for public inspection at the City Hall offices. (Ord. 532) My understanding is that the reason the city did not act upon the lease applications is that until Chapter 11.20 was amended this year, shore fisheries lessees had to have an appraisal done on the site and pay 6% of the appraised value. That process proved unworkable for both the applicants and the city. The council solved that problem earlier this year by enacting 11.20.790 which sets the lease rate for a shore fishery at $300 and eliminated the requirement of an appraisal. If council wishes to go forth with leasing the tidelands, this is what I would suggest. Return the lease applications to the applicants with the suggestion they reapply when the procedure contained in 11.20.040 has been met. Since the leases are not awarded on a first -come, first -serve basis, this will not harm their chances of being awarded the leases. Next, have the Planning and Zoning Commission, the Harbor Commission, and the Council approve the area for tidelands leases as set forth in 11.20.040 and advertise accordingly. Once public notice has been given for the availability of lease applications, the Carlson's can reapply. Once the lease application period has expired, the Planning and Zoning Commission will make a recommendation on who should be awarded the lease. The Council then makes the final decision based on "the best interests of the public welfare, health, and safety." Although the Carlson's are not entitled to a preference because of their family's historical use of the property, the council can take into consideration that historical use in determining the best interests of the public. If the council chooses to award a shore fishery tidelands lease, the lease rate would be $300 per year under KMC 11.20.790. If you have any questions, comments about the process or the city manager/administration's recommendation, please advise me.

Manninen, City Manager From: Kim Howard, Administrative Assistant Date: August 17, 1995 RE: Shore Fishery Leases Last winter council addressed shore fishery leases. Council amended the code by not requiring an appraisal and setting the annual lease rate at $300. Frank Canady renewed his shore fishery lease. His lease had a preference right to re -lease. Four other shore fishery leases expire next year. They also have the preference right to re -lease. Ken and Thad Carlson recently submitted the attached letter to Council requesting shore fishery leases for sites north of the city's current shore fishery leased sites. Carlson's state in their letter Ken has fished this location for 36 years and Thad has assisted him for 15 years. They have asked Max Best to speak on their behalf at the September 6 Council meeting. As stated in my January 18, 1995 memorandum to you, as a result of discussions between former City Manager Brighton and Attorney Ed Garnett in 1990, Garnett submitted two tideland applications on behalf of Ken and Thad Carlson. KMC 11.20.040 was not followed. KMC 11.20.040 states before accepting applications to lease tidelands, the area involved shall have first been classified for leasing by the City Council with the approval of the Planning and Harbor Commissions, and availability advertised in a newspaper of general circulation in the area once each week for two successive weeks not less than thirty days prior to the time set for the closing of the acceptance of applications. The city still has the applications, filing fees and deposits for Ken and Thad Carlson (copies attached). Carlson's recently provided a new preliminary shore fishery diagram. I compared it with the one submitted with their 1990 application. The only change I noted is an area drawn between Carlson's proposed boundary and the city limits with the name R. Johnson on it. We don't have a lease for that site. over the last five years others have inquired about shore fishery leases although no applications have been filed. I have no knowledge of whether these individuals or any other individuals are using tidelands, with or without leases. cc: Cary Graves, City Attorney C:\WPDOCS\LEASES\SHORE2.MEM 1791-1991 CITY OF KENAI , od G'dpd-aZ 4 44"�11 210 FIDALGO KENAI, ALASKA 99611 TELEPHONE 283.7535 FAX 907-283-3014 July 26, 1990 Edward L.

The City Council discussed this matter at their July 11, 1990, meeting and have requested a work session to discuss shore fishery leases. The work session will be held in the City Hall.

City preliminary plat, prepared by McLane and Associates, Inc. The Carlsons are requesting ten (10) year leases under the same terms and conditions as other similar leases. For the City's information, Ken Carlson has been fishing the areas marked Tracts A & B for over 30 years; and Thad Carlson has been fishing the same area with Ken for the last ten years, and are currently fishing the sites at the time these applications are filed with the City. I would appear that a survey is not going to be necessary as McLane has already done one and all that is necessary is to change the legend block and submit it to the borough. City of Kenai Mr. Bill Brighton July 17, 1990 Page 2 Both Thad and Ken Carlson have advised me that if it would be convenient to the City both applications could be taken as one application and they would take both tracts as joint lessees rather than individually.

It has come to our attention that the City of Kenai accepted Tidelands Lease Applications along with a deposit of $1,200.00 from KPFA members, Kendall H Carlson and Thad A. Carlson, on July 17, 1990. The Carlsons have fished these locations for the past 36 years and have certainly established a commitment to the fishery. Other current lease holders in the vicinity have been granted new leases and yet no action has been taken on the Carlsons' applications for the past 5 years. It is our understanding that the Kenai City Council is scheduled to consider the Carlsons' Tidelands Lease Applications on September 6, 1995. On behalf of Kendall H. Carlson and Thad A. Carlson, Kenai Peninsula Fishermen's Association respectfully requests their respective Tidelands Leases be approved without further delay. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. Sincerely, t Karl Kircher President SEP 01 '95 11:24 AM KENAI PEN UNITED WAY +907 283 8000 01 September, 1995 Kenai City Council 210 Fidalgo Street Kenai, AK 99611 Dear Mayor Williams and Honorable Council Members: Kenai Peninsula United 1May BENCO BLDG. Ste. 0 101 11355 Frontage Road Kenai, Alaska 99611 Phone: (907) 283-9500 Fax, (907) 283-8000 On behalf of the Kenai Peninsula United Way, I would like to ask the City of Kenai's support of the 1995 Campaign by establishing a matching gift program to serve as an incentive for City employees who choose help make our city a better place to live by giving through United Way. Providing an incentive for City of Kenai employees is not only good for our community, but it is also good for our economy: Last year alone United Way agencies located within the municipality were awarded $92,197 (a municipal listing of our 26 United Way agencies is enclosed for your review). It is because I believe that United Way and the City of Kenai both have the same mission, that is to make Kenai a better place to live, that I was concerned to learn that there were no dollars pledged by City employees during last year's campaign. I hope that we can build a stronger relationship for the upcoming 1995 campaign. But I need your help. I would like to request that the City Council institute a program where employee contributions are matched at .50 cents on the dollar, up to total grant of $2,000. By doing so, city dollars will not only be used to help support those agencies that support our city every day, but also act as an incentive for city employees to do the same. I thank you for your consideration and the opportunity to bring this issue before the Council on September 6th.

After viewing the distruction of the new grassy areas along the Sterling Highway by ATVs, pickups, motorcyles, etc., I have become concerned that the same fate may be in store for the sides of the new highway in Kenai. I realize that the Spur Highway is under the jurisdicition of the D.O.T., however, I would like the Council to consider asking the D.O.T. to put up signs banning ATVs from use on any part of the shoulders.

Mr. Keith Kornelis Public Works Director City of Kenai - 210 Fidalgo Kenai, Alaska 99611-7794 Re: Special Use Permit Lease Dock Area for Marine Wildlife Tour Business Dear Mr. Kornelis: August 28, 1995 Via Paz: (907) 283-3014 Please refer to the existing lease noted above. It has been a most interesting tou= season. We have appreciated the opportunity to do business with the City of Kenai and especially have appreciated the support and encouragement that the City has expressed and given by way of entering into this lease with us. Our report to you about this project —to run a tourboat in Cook Inlet --would be that the season went fast and the short of it would be that we started too late and although we were able to get all of our season preparations together, the worst and most damaging effect of the late start was that we were not able to get many bookings/customers/passengers. As everyone is advising us, we have a good beginning and valuable experience on the next season, and we are hopeful that well be able to see this project through. At least at this juncture, that is our plan. It is, however, quite evident that the season ended about two weeks ago and there is no further reason for us to remain at the dock facilities. The tourists are gone. We would like to ask the City's indulgence to let us out of our lease effective September 1. We are in the process now of taking our boat out of the water, and will be moving our trailer/ticket office from the dock area before the end of the month. Letting us out of our lease would be a much needed cut in our expenses for the season. I presume that this question will need to be presented to the City Council. Please let me know when it will be presented and whether you would want me to be present. Once again, thank you for allowing us to utilize the City's facility. That did turn out to be a very useful arrangement. Sincerely, TO SHHQR&TOURS 4un4ri—Robinson, Owner Irene Robinson, Owner P.O.

Brown, City Finance Director FROM: Keith Komelis, Public Works Director<� DATE: August 10, 1995 SUBJECT: STP - Disinfection FOR: City Council 8/16/95 and 9/6195 Would you please prepare an ordinance that would appropriate $36,800 from the Water and Sewer Fund balance to the capital project called °S.T.P. Disinfection 95." These funds can be placed in a construction account. Vasey Engineering has given the city the attached cost evaluation summary with different alternatives. As one can see, our present method of disinfection using chlorine gas and sulfur dioxide gas is by far the cheapest. That is why we used this method originally. If we were to stay with our present method it would cost us $50,000 to have a Process Safety Management Plan (PSM) developed for our S.T.P. We would also have annual costs and labor in maintaining this plan and its requirements. (Something not shown in this summary.) The annual O & M cost for using hypochlorination and bisulfite is much higher than what we are presently doing (using 1 ton gas cylinders). That is why the total present worth is so much higher. Using hypochlorination and bisulfite (liquid disinfection method) is much safer than our present gas method. The city would not have to have a PSM plan. Therefore, if we go to the liquid method it will cost us $36,800 in capital costs, but we will not have to spend the $50,000 for the PSM. Please prepare an ordinance appropriating $36,800 to construction in the STP Disinfection 95 project. If it is introduced on 8/16/95 then I will submit all of the backup information for the 9/6/95 meeting.

As we discussed, the safest alternative evaluated, the UV system, should be considerably less expensive if the strict limitations on fecal coliform are relaxed. It may merit further consideration during the next planning phase for the wastewater treatment plant expansion. An interim solution to the chlorine gas hazard could be to install a liquid hypochlorite system, which has a low capital cost but high operational costs, until a UV system could be installed during the next expansion of the treatment plant. Thank you again for the opportunity to work with the City on this project and please do not hesitate to call if you have any further questions. Sincerely, VASEY ENGINEERING Christopher A.

Vasey Engineering would provide plans and specifications for bidding, services during bidding and engineering services during construction as outlined in the April proposal. As discussed in this proposal, the firm of Wince-Corthell-Bryson would assist primarily in construction observation. I would like to clarify some of the cost assumptions presented in the disinfection evaluation alternative analysis. The engineering plus contingency costs presented for the twelve disinfection alternatives were based on a percentage factor multiplied by the estimated capital costs. The same percentages were used to calculate costs for all the alternatives in order to be consistent. In the report, several assumptions were made relative to the reuse of existing equipment and piping, which may not be feasible if the gas chlorination / dechlorination system is to be used as a backup system. Therefore, the engineering cost estimates presented in the alternative analysis should not necessarily be construed as representative of actual costs. We typically base cost estimates for design projects on the level of effort required for a specific number of final drawings. The following list of drawings appears appropriate for this project: Preliminary List of Drawings Drawing No. Description 1. Cover Sheet 2. Index, Vicinity Maps / Notes and Symbols 3. Site Plan / Yard Piping / Sections 4. Chemical Building Mechanical 5. Miscellaneous Details and Sections 6. Electrical Please note that costs for design services presented in the April proposal (S13,600) were based on a three sheet design project and costs for electrical design were not included. Additional costs for a one sheet electrical design would be approximately S3,000. Therefore. for budgetary purposes I would like to propose the following revised cost estimate for the Phase 11 work presented in the April proposal. Task Task Cost Design Services S161600 Services During Bidding $1,600 Engineering Services During Construction $12.600 Subtotal S30,800 elf Travel Expenses (2 trips: airfare, lodging, meals) S2,000 'V Document Reproduction S700 Oe �N Estimated Total Project Costs $33,500 As we discussed, I have reduced the budgets in Services During Bidding and Engineering Services During Construction by $1,000 and S2,000 respectively to compensate for the electrical design. It is anticipated that the City can participate in some of the administrative tasks required for bidding the project. Please call if you have any further questions.

Manninen, City Manager /U-" Kayo McGillivray, Parks & Recreation Director August 31, 1995 Construction of City Greenhouse After receiving the component parts for the greenhouse and looking over the assembly plans, I feel that it would be very difficult to erect the greenhouse using in-house labor. With Public Works gearing up for winter; the time factor of having the facility ready for use next spring; and the rather intricate details of assembly, I suggest we contract someone to do the job. I visited with Jack Lashot, City Engineer, and after looking over the plans, he was in agreement. I contacted Sterchi Construction to get a cost estimate and his proposal with the City digging the foundation hole and running the water and electrical lines is $9,600. Public Works estimate for the water and electrical is $3,000. An appropriation of $12,600 would be necessary to get the greenhouse on line. Council might want to consider putting in a heating unit now or in the near future so that we can start our own plants for the beautification program. We would be looking at a cost of $900 to $1,000 for the heating unit and installation. Cost with heater - $13,600. It appears that we will be coming in under our cost estimates for the construction and installation of our restrooms. Using those funds could cut the cost of the project.

AIRPORT COMMISSION MEETING AUGUST 10, 1995 KENAI CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS CHAIRMAN TOM THIBODEAU, PRESIDING ITEM 1: CALL TO ORDER & ROLL CALL The meeting was called to order at approximately 7:03 p.m. by Chairman Thibodeau. Those present were as follows: Commission members: Holloway (arrived at approximately 7:40 p.m.), Kopp, Knackstedt, Edwards, Koerber and Thibodeau. Absent was Scott. Staff present: City Clerk Carol L. Freas, Airport Manager Randy Ernst and Vice Mayor Raymond Measles (arriving at approximately 7:40 p.m.). ITEM 2: APPROVAL OF AGENDA MOTION: Commissioner Kopp MOVED to approve the agenda as presented and Commissioner Knackstedt SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. ITEM 3: PERSONS PRESENT SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD 3-a. Cheryl Sutton/Salmon Producers Alliance Ms. Sutton was not available at the beginning of the meeting. See discussion following Item 3-b. 3-b. Barbara Kangas/Fun in the Midnight Sun Reservation Central Ernst referred to the information included in the packet in regard to the reservation central proposal of Ms. Kangas. Ms. Kangas explained she would like to rent space in the airport terminal for June, July and August of 1996. Her business is a reservation service for rentals, such as fishing guides, RVs, hunting guides, RV parks, B&Bs, motel/hotels, etc. She would not be taking reservations for airlines or car rentals. She also offers call -waiting for her customers, private mail boxes and mailing and brochure distribution. The lease space she suggested renting was that space formerly occupied by Raven Transit. It would be the last counterspace beside the car rentals, by the front door. Kangas added, she is requesting a lease at this time, in order that she can arrange for KENAI AIRPORT COMMISSION MEETING AUGUST 10, 1995 PAGE 2 advertising space in the Alaska Magazine, Milepost and Internet. Those advertisements need to be forwarded to the magazines in September. The booth would be open from 8:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m. and have an attendant there throughout those hours. Kangas also explained she would make the booth area as simple as possible. Her telephone would be mobile, a stand for brochures. Everything at the booth would be mobile. Commissioner Kopp asked if the space would be needed for non-profit organizations in the area which it has been available for in the past. Ernst explained the use of the area has been very informal. There have been no contracts, etc. for use of the space. Kangas added she would share space with non -profits if necessary. Ernst added, cost for the space would be marginal as it is a small area. Council would decide if there should be a flat rate charged or a square foot charge. Ernst stated he would probably recommend a flat rate as she wants the space on a trial basis. The Airport Commission should make a recommendation to Council whether to lease the space or not. Ernst warned that comer of the terminal receives a lot of travel. She could not obstruct the walking area. Also, advertisements are not allowed on the front of the counters (signs or otherwise). Because of the small wall space available there, a stand-up type of sign could be placed on top of the counter. Kangas added, she would make sure brochures carried off and left by waiting passengers, etc. would be picked up and returned to the brochure stand. Ernst stated his main concern was that the rental space looks good and managed in a professional manner. A plan would have to be presented of what she wants to do and bring it to him for approval. The Commission needed to decide whether it would be a viable business for placement in the airport terminal. The intricacies of the lease would be worked out between he and Kangas. Ernst added he would suggest a flat rate charge for the space of $50 to $75 a month. Chairman Thibodeau stated he believed the proposal would be good for the community. The information she would have available would be for future trips to the area, as people who come through the airport most always have made their reservations prior to arrival. Ernst cautioned Kangas that she would not be allowed to make car rental reservations as that would compete with the services already offered by the car rental agencies. Council is aware there are already five car rental agencies in the terminal. Ernst also cautioned that something would have to be worked out as far as RV rentals and if those rentals KENAI AIRPORT COMMISSION MEETING AUGUST 10, 1995 PAGE 3 would be brought to the customer at the airport. A separate staging area or parking area for the RVs would have to designated. That designation could be worked out later. MOTION: Commissioner Kopp MOVED to approve the rental of the space for three months at a flat rate to be set by the Kenai City Council. Commissioner Edwards SECONDED the motion. Ernst suggested Kopp clarify his motion to say the Commission recommends the space be leased for a three-month period to a reservation service for accommodations and activities at a flat rate to be determined by the City Council. Kopp agreed to clarify his motion as stated by Ernst. There were no objections from the second. Chairman Thibodeau asked if the proposal will come back before the Commission after the details have been worked out between Ernst and Kangas. Ernst explained the proposal and the Commission's recommendation would be included in the council packet for their consideration at the August 16, 1995 meeting. There would be no time for it to come back before the Commission at this time. Vice Mayor Measles and Commissioner Holloway arrived at approximately 7:40 p.m. VOTE: Holloway: Yes Kopp: Yes Knackstedt: Yes Edwards: Yes Koerber: Yes Scott: Absent Thibodeau: Yes MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. 3-a. Cheryl Sutton/Salmon Producers Alliance Ernst referred to the proposal letter included in the packet. Ernst explained the Salmon Producers Alliance has requested to lease space in the airport where they could place a monitor and VCR unit contained in an eye -level case in order to play a continuous feed tape portraying the seafood industry in the Cook Inlet. The video would be in a KENAI AIRPORT COMMISSION MEETING AUGUST 10, 1995 PAGE 4 documentary/education/informational form. Ernst added, the Commission would preview the video and the cabinet would have to meet the specifications of the Airport Manager. Also the volume of the video would have to be kept at an acceptable level. He has already suggested the tape be activated by push button. Ernst suggested the cabinet, etc. could be placed by the baggage carousel or on the other side of the wall looking toward the main terminal area. Ernst stated he would work with the Alliance and bring back a more detailed proposal at a later date. There were no objections or concerns stated by the Commission at this time. ITEM 4: APPROVAL OF MINUTES MOTION: Commissioner Kopp MOVED for approval of the Airport Commission Meeting minutes of May 11, 1995. Councilman Holloway SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. ITEM 5: OLD BUSINESS Ernst referred to the Airport Projects List Update which was included in the packet. 5-a. CAP Airport Taxiway Paving Project Commissioner Knackstedt reported the parking area and taxiway paving project had been completed, within budget, the first of July. A ribbon -cutting ceremony was held and approximately 25-30 people attended, including Mayor Williams, Vice Mayor Measles, Airport Manager Ernst, Anchorage CAP Wing Commander, CAP members and their families. Commissioner Holloway also reported a service and rescue practice was held which involved approximately 23 extra airplanes. The exercise worked out well. Chairman Thibodeau added the CAP received an outstanding for their efforts. Thibodeau also stated the CAP really appreciated the help from the Council in getting the paving project completed. KENAI AIRPORT COMMISSION MEETING AUGUST 10, 1995 PAGE 5 5-b. Air Stairs Commissioner Kopp asked if there was progress in finding air stairs for the airport. Ernst reported he is still working on it. He has his name on a list to received a set. Logistics may be difficult in transporting some to Kenai, however. He will continue working on the possibility of getting air stairs. 5-c. Coast Guard DGPS Site Ernst reported a site was selected outside of Kenai due to objections by the FAA flight standards people of the originally chosen site in Kenai. The original site was within the restricted area of the airport approach. The site chosen is in the Cabin Lake area. The DGPS will be as effective at that site. ITEM 6: NEW BUSINESS 6-a. Project Updates Ernst referred to the list of information included in the packet. Automated Fuel System/Float Plane Basin - Ernst reported there has been a delay in getting the fuel system on line due to problems setting up of the bank account. The bank now states they require an on -site inspection. Ernst asked them if he could do it and was told they needed to do it themselves. Ernst also reported he reminded them of the shortness of the seasonal use of the basin. Ernst added, he has also discussed the problem with Petrovend who is the company that deals with the banks. They are to discuss the matter with the bank as well. Ernst reported he suggested to Council (at their last meeting) that as an advertising campaign, the fuel in the tank (1,000 gallons) be given away, first -come -first -served. The giveaway will be advertised on radio and during the Channel 7 weather briefing. Council had no objections to the dispensing of the fuel. Crack Sealing - Ernst reported the crack sealing in the long-term parking area is on the Public Works Department list of projects. Ernst added, they have already spread weed killer on grass, etc. coming through the cracks. KENAI AIRPORT COMMISSION MEETING AUGUST 10, 1995 PAGE 6 6-b. Ramp Parking Fees for Large Aircraft - Ernst explained there is an inequity that the fish haulers pay a summer parking fee of $1,500 and other large cargo planes that use the airport do not have to pay anything. Ernst added, he discussed the matter with the Council approximately nine years ago and proposed charging at least a $20-a-day fee if they are using a large space. Those having to pay the fee would be those who do not have a rental agreement with the City. Ernst added, the fee would be approximately $1,800 for three months use of the ramp. There may be some resistance to the charge. However, he does not know how they would be billed. The Airport Regulations state that businesses started are to have the approval of the Airport Manager. At this time, only some call and let me know they will be parking there. The Regulations speak to itinerant aircraft and there is control on small aircraft. The dry cargo loads who do not pay as there is no mechanism for them to pay. They are to come to the Airport Manager's office and sign up and pay, however, this not done in many instances. Ernst suggested the Airport Regulation be reviewed and amendments considered. Kopp stated if others are not being charged, perhaps the others should not be either. Ernst answered the fish haulers do not mind paying as it allows them to have the space to work their businesses. The area in which they park is decontrolled so they can make their turns, etc. The processor pays instead of the airline company. Ernst added, the private aircraft pay approximately 98% of the time. They are checked on a daily basis. The jets are harder to get to pay as there is no specific place for them to register or pay. 6-c. Revise "Loading Only" Definition/Airport Regulation 6.05.010(c). Ernst explained the Regulation is in regard to the 20-minute loading zone parking in front of the terminal. The city's enforcement of the regulation is not how it is written. His interpretation of the regulation is a person can park for 20 minutes while seeing off a passenger, hauling baggage in and out of the terminal, or picking up a passenger. The vehicle does not have to be attended. However, the regulation reads differently. Ernst handed out his suggested change to the regulation. 6.05.010(c) No person shall park a vehicle on Airport Drive, Terminal Loop. The only exception to this is in the areas marked for KENAI AIRPORT COMMISSION MEETING AUGUST 10, 1995 PAGE 7 "Loading Only" and the spaces marked for "Handicapped." The loading only area on the terminal side of the loop is restricted to vehicle parking for periods of time as designated by the Airport Manager. The loading only area on the parking lot side of the loop is restricted to public transportation and commercial vehicles. Parking for loading only for both private and public transportation vehicles and parking for the handicapped shall be permitted between the hours of 5:00 a.m. 'and 3:00 a.m. [PARKING FOR LOADING ONLY IS DEFINED AS AN ATTENDED OR OCCUPIED MOTOR VEHICLE.] Parking, for loading onlJs defined as the use of a motor vehicle to transport airline passengers and their luggage to and from the airport terminal. Vehicles in violation of this section shall be subject to impound. The amendment would allow 20 minutes for the general public to park in front of the terminal. Council has said they do not want the car rental agencies using that area for picking up or dropping off rental vehicles. Council has approved five spaces at the south end of the terminal for the car rental agencies to park their vehicles for their customers to pick up, etc. Ernst added he thought amending the regulation by defining the "loading area" would help the situation. Although he has written directives to the car rental agencies on several occasions informing them they may not park in front of the terminal. However, they have not always complied. Amending the regulation would dispel any confusion as to the definition of the "loading area," etc. Ernst also stated the loading zone is a courtesy for the traveling public. There are only 16 spaces in the front of the terminal. He is aware of which are rental cars and would know if they are in violation. If a person who is renting the vehicle picks up the vehicle at the designated space south of the terminal and drives to the front of the terminal and parks, he would have 20 minutes to park, as long as it is not an employee or representative of the rental agency. Ernst explained, if the Commission approves the amendment, the city manager then reviews it. After the city manager's review, it is brought to council for their consideration. KENAI AIRPORT COMMISSION MEETING AUGUST 10, 1995 PAGE 8 MOTION: Commissioner Kopp MOVED to approve the Airport Manager's word change to Airport Regulation 6.05.010(c). Commissioner Holloway SECONDED the motion. VOTE: Holloway: Yes Edwards: Yes Thibodeau: Yes Kopp: Yes Knackstedt: Yes Koerber: Yes Scott: Absent MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. Commissioner Knackstedt commented that while he was reviewing this item, he noticed there were some misnumbering of other parts of the regulations. Also, that some of the regulations were outdated. He redlined those and made comments. Ernst encouraged the Commission to review the regulations until that time,. noting any items they thought should be discussed or changed. Ernst suggested a work session be scheduled in the future for review of the regulations. ITEM 7: AIRPORT MANAGER'S REPORT Ernst reviewed the long-term parking receipts report which was included in the packet. Also reviewed was the monthly enplanement report for July. Ernst noted enplanements were about 2,200 more than last year at this time. ITEM 8: COMMISSION COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS Commissioner Knackstedt discussed his concerns that the Commission keep up-to-date of the activities of other airports in the area. Knackstedt mentioned his concern that the McGahan field may be attracting flights from Anchorage instead of the Kenai airport. Ernst stated he has been tracking the activities of that airport. He has found they have distinct problems with the FAA because of the size of their field and competitiveness with the Butler airstrip. Also, the paving on the McGahan field is a cold tar pavement KENAI AIRPORT COMMISSION MEETING AUGUST 10, 1995 PAGE 9 which does not allow aircraft to turn. As long as the McGahan field stays private, he can do mostly what he wants. However, if the airport does commercial business, the FAA will step in and make requirements. Chairman Thibodeau asked if the CAP's float plane parking space was granted. Ernst reported an agreement was signed. The City is charging $1.00/year. ITEM 9: INFORMATION ITEMS None. ITEM 10: ADJOURNMENT MOTION: Commissioner Holloway MOVED for adjournment and Commissioner Kopp SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED.

APPROVAL OF AGENDA The agenda was approved as written. 3. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Lorrene Forbes MOVED to approve the minutes as written. Carol Brenckle SECONDED. The minutes were approved. 4. PERSONS SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD None. 5. DIRECTOR'S REPORT Emily DeForest reported that she traveled to Chicago for a convention. Two representatives from Dynex will be here August 28th to work over the facility and make suggestions on the new computer. In looking at the Internet charges, Vista may be the best way to go. They update and maintain their own databank in Provo, and the costs are comparable for the services received. Emily stated she also went to PNLA last week and met with many smaller library directors. Library Commission August 15, 1995 Page 1 She found many of the smaller libraries are now charging for inter -library loans. Most of these libraries are also subsidized by their counties. Emily reported that last year's year end report showed that there was a circulation of 16.86 books per Kenai resident. If this was divided by each resident, it would cost $44.14 per Kenai resident to support the library. Kathy Heus stated that a lot of this was subsidized by the local sales taxes, which are paid by everyone, not just Kenai residents. Christine Monfor arrived at 8:00 p.m. 6. PERSONS SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD None. 7. OLD BUSINESS A. Summer Summary - Kathy Heus stated that the book sale was a success. She thought they brought in close to $1800 for the Friends of the Library. It was suggested by one of the Friends that next year they run it on a Thursday and Friday during normal library hours, instead of on Friday/Saturday like they did this year, since Saturday's turnout was minimal. Lorrene stated that possibly doing it over July 4th weekend would be better. Janice asked how this years turnout compared to when the sale was in the mall. Kathy stated that she thought there was more turnout this year. B. Author Signing - Kathy reported that their author signing was held during reading time and went very well. On September 9th Steve Reynolds will be doing a book signing at the library. C. Summer Reading Program - Kathy reported that it looked like the kids were having a good time. She stated that it was very much appreciated that Unocal was willing to provide the tent for these projects. D. Library Expansion Plans - Emily showed rough drawings of the proposed library expansion. She stated that the City was expecting the proposed expansion to cost in the area of $1 million, but the architect, Mr. Klugy, says a two-story expansion would run in around $3 million. She stated we need to decide if we are going to ask Council for the $3 million or not. Carol stated that she felt we should ask for what we need, rather than to try to settle Library Commission August 15, 1995 Page 2 for less and still not have our needs met and need to expand yet again. Christine stated that in the last 10 years they have not gone to the voters with anything more than water and sewer bonds, except for the visitors center. Janice asked how the visitors center was paid for. Christine stated that there was a grant from the EDD and the city matched it. Lorrene asked if there was any possibility of receiving additional funds from the City's savings account. Christine stated that the City was committed to use that money to build a new animal shelter, since the current shelter has been condemned. Carol asked if the $3 million figure took into account consideration for the renovations to the existing library. Emily stated that the only renovations needed would be done to the entryway. Christine stated that she felt the Council would have problems with a $3 million bond issue. She felt that someone needed to explain how the plans grew from 10,000 square feet to 15,000 square feet. Janice asked what the options were. Emily stated that we could make the building smaller, or go for a single story addition. The daylight basement was not an option that was supported by the architect. Christine felt that Kathy or someone from the Commission should come to the Council meeting tomorrow night to give the Commission's feelings. Carol asked about funds for furnishings. Emily stated that there would be a few more stacks needed, but didn't feel it would be appreciable amount. Bob Peters felt that the Commission should request as much as possible to get the necessary addition done all at one time. Lorrene Forbes MOVED that the Commission support a $2.5 million bond to build . the library addition of approximately 16,000 square feet. Bob Peters SECONDED the motion. Lorrene stated that at 8 % interest over 30 years, a $3 million bond would cost the taxpayers approximately $32 per year. Christine stated that this would not even equal a one mil increase. Lorrene MOVED to amend the $2.5 million figure to $3 million. Bob Peters Library Commission August 15, 1995 Page 3 SECONDED the amendment. A verbal vote was unanimous. Lorrene suggested that it might be a good idea to also recruit for a college student to sit on the Commission. Carol felt it would be a good time to thank Katherine for he participation with the Library Commission. S. NEW BUSINESS The next meeting date is scheduled for September 5th. 9. COMMISSIONER COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS Bob Peters suggested everyone join the Friends of the Library and ask all their acquaintances to support the upcoming bond issue. He stated that with normal low voter turnout, very few votes could make the difference. He also suggested that all who can should attend the Council meeting tomorrow night. Katherine Cornelis turned in her letter of resignation to the Library Commission. She thanked everyone on the Commission for allowing her to participate. Kathy stated she will plan to be at the Council meeting tomorrow night and would welcome all comments and support from the Commission. Janice stated that she would like to see both bond issues, the ice rink and the library expansion, pass. Bob Peters felt that everyone should spread the word and try to gain as much support the library expansion as possible. He thanked Katherine for her participation with the Commission. 10. ADJOURNMENT Carol Brenckle MOVED to adjourn. Bob Peters SECONDED the motion. The meeting was adjourned at 9:20 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Debby J. F olz.

CARL GLICK SECONDED. Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes - August 23, 1995 Page 2 Walker asked for additional staff comments. La Shot stated he had no additional comments. Walker asked for audience comments. Clarence Ladd stated he has spoke with the Mayor and Council regarding some property in the TSH zone, Vozar's property. He said Vozar claims to own a piece of property that is actually in his name. Walker interrupted Mr. Ladd and asked if he was referring to the T.Park O'Neil Addition Plat and Utility Easement Vacation. Mr. Ladd said he had heard there is going to be a rezone in TSH and he is not in favor of it. He then apologized for speaking out of turn and sat down. There being no further discussion on Resolution PZ 95-44 Walker asked for the vote. VOTE: Glick Yes Goecke Yes Bryson Yes Walker Yes Werner-Quade Yes Toppa Absent Mahurin Yes MOTION PASSED. b. Subdivision Plat Approval - Resolution PZ 95-42 MOTION CARL GLICK MOVED FOR APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION PZ 95-42. THERESA WERNER-QUADE SECONDED THE MOTION. La Shot said prior to the golf course being built, the land to the south was privately owned, and still is. After the golf course was developed, the owners to the south felt their access was denied by the city. La Shot said it went through the courts and was resolved. La Shot stated the plat before the Commission now is the solution proposed by the present property owner, after meeting with the golf course lessee, as to the best physical access to the property. La Shot said he recommends approval contingent upon two items. (1) An installation agreement to construct the road from Lawton south to the property, and Lawton from the end of the existing to Swires; and (2) approval of City Council for signature. KPB 20.15.155 requires that all parties having interest sign the plat. Bryson stated he would have to abstain from voting on this item as he was involved with Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes - August 23, 1995 Page 3 the city in the past court proceedings on this project. Goecke asked La Shot if it is policy for the owner of the property to fill out Lawton to the access road. La Shot said normal policy is to expect a developer to extend what would be a city maintained street to the portion that he would like to construct. He added that Lawton has a good base, the only thing remaining to be brought in is gravel. Goecke asked if it is La Shot's belief the base to that point (Swires south) would only need a gravel covering. La Shot said yes, and some drainage work. He added the city did full excavation of the bad material during the Sewer Interceptor/Thompson Park project. Goecke asked what the distance from the end to where the street in question would take off. La Shot guessed 500' - 1000'. Bryson said the distance would be roughly 300', one manhole reach.

Landscaping/Site Plan Review - Resolution PZ 95-43 MOTION RON GOECKE RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION PZ 95-43, LANDSCAPING/SITE PLAN REVIEW, LOT 3, BLOCK 2, THOMPSON PARK. CARL GLICK SECONDED. La Shot said the property is Commercial and requires a Landscaping/Site Plan Review before issuance of a building permit. He added the owner is the same as on item 5-a. Walker stated there is minimal description as to what kind of landscaping is going to be done. La Shot said at the bottom of the application the owner indicates natural vegetation and grass. He added that he doesn't believe the owner plans anything too extensive. Mahurin stated her concern about cutting down all of the trees on the property. She said in the future she would like to see a more detailed description of what is going to be done.

Townsite Historic Review - Vozar MOTION PHIL BRYSON MOVED FOR APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT ON LOT 2, TOYON SUBDIVISION. RON GOECKE SECONDED. La Shot said this item was approved by the Townsite Historic Board on August 22, 1995. He said the permit is to finish the upper level of the building, making it one single family unit and four rental rooms. La Shot added the exterior appearance would not be changed.

Variance - Jelacic Resolution PZ 95-41 Walker said this is a request for variance permit for a second principal structure located at Lot 5, Block 3, Thompson Park Subdivision, Addition 1. MOTION THERESA WERNER-QUADS MOVED FOR APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION PZ 95-41. RON GOECKE SECONDED. La Shot said this lot is in a Rural Residential zone and is served by water and sewer. He said the applicant is asking to build a triplex on the same lot where a duplex now exists. The Code states the lot size is to be 20,000 sq. ft. (minimum) for each structure. La Shot said this area recently went through a rezone request to Suburban Residential, which failed. He added the comments from citizens in the area stated concerns regarding small lots, and having multi -family units in the area. Public Comment Stephen DeHart, stated he believes he lives next door to the lot in question. He said the map he received shows the lot on the comer of Spruce and Iowa. DeHart asked if it was actually Spruce or is it Primrose. It was clarified that the lot in question is on the comer of Iowa and Wildrose. DeHart said, with that clarification, he does have concerns regarding the request for variance. He stated by having that many apartments located so close together it may down -grade the quality of the neighborhood and the property value in the area. DeHart said there are already duplex's on all four comers of the block. He said the lot in question is not kept up as it is. Rick Needs, builder, stated he is representing the owner of the property. Needs stated he sees a large lot there with two families that each have their own yard which they care I Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes - August 23, 1995 Page 6 for. The owner would like to sell one building and move into one unit of the triplex. Needs stated by having the property owner there the quality of the neighborhood would not go down since she would be there to help maintain it. He added this is not a low income housing project, it will be a nice building with a landscaped yard and right now the lot is natural vegetation and not landscaped at all. Gus Rodes asked if the item in question is a variance or a rezone request. Walker said it is a request for variance. Rodes asked if a variance could be granted in this case. Walker said yes it is possible and it is at this time, under consideration. DeHart returned to the podium. He said he is not concerned with the natural vegetation on the back part of the lot, he is concerned with the yard around the duplex. DeHart said it is not kept up very well at all. He stated he has spoken with other neighbors in the area (all of which said they would be here tonight, but are not) and they share his concerns regarding this variance being allowed. Mahurin asked why the application is not signed by the applicant. Woodford explained that Ms. Jelacic had come into city hall and signed the incorrect application. She then left town. Administration contacted Ms. Jelacic to notify her she had signed the wrong application and she requested we fill out the correct application, allowing her to sign it when she returned. Administration decided to allow it on the condition Jelacic sign the correct application when she returned to town. Mahurin said she is not comfortable acting on something that does not have a signature. She understands staff's trying to help but is concerned with it coming back to haunt the Commission. Mahurin added her concerns regarding public comment that has been made. Walker asked if Mahurin wished to postpone action pending an appropriate signature. Mahurin said no, she will just vote no. Bryson said a rezone of the area was proposed several months ago that would have been appropriate for this kind of development. He stated it was not received well, in fact had virtually no support. Bryson said he understands a variance request is being discussed here, however there is a high likelihood there will be an attempt to replat the lot in the future into several lots. Bryson referred to the Land Use Plan, showing the area being Low Density Residential. He mentioned discussion at the previous meeting I Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes - August 23, 1995 Page 7 concerning the use of Figure 4 in the Comprehensive Plan. Bryson read from Land Use Paraaraoh 1: The land use plan for Kenai shown in figures 4 and 5 is designed to respond to development trends, natural site characteristics and the communities attitude about future growth. It assigns all land areas in the city limits to one of seven land use categories based on existing and emerging patterns of development... Bryson said this plan, entitled Land Use, is presumably a future envisioning of the way the development should go, not the existing zoning or use, but future. He stated he does not feel this area is depicted to go into the medium/higher density residential use at this time. Bryson added if it is, then it is also time to modify the Land Use Plan. Walker stated his disagreement with Bryson's interpretation of Figure 4 in the Land Use Plan. He said the comments brought to the Commission during the proposed rezoning did preclude this Commission with the zoning of smaller lot sizes and feels that at this time he would have to vote no as well. VOTE: Bryson No Glick No Werner-Quade No Walker No Mahurin No Toppa Absent Goecke No MOTION PASSED. 7. NEW BUSINESS None 8. OLD BUSINESS None 9. CODE ENFORCEMENT ITEMS None 10. REPORTS a. City Council Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes - August 23, 1995 Page 8 Hal Smalley said Jerry Best, and several others, spoke to the Council regarding equipping the new senior van with wheel chair access. Council said the needs of the community are being met by the other van that does have wheel chair access. It was suggested by Council that Ms. Best address the Borough for transportation needs for individuals that have handicaps. Smalley said the Vozar's spoke to the Council about purchasing some private property on the bluff in Old Town with either the city and/or the owners participating with the idea that the property would be turned over to the city for a park. Smalley stated that Mr. Hakkinen has said his lot is for sale. Smalley said the Council took no action on this item, that Mr. Hakkinen and the Vozars are working out something between themselves and the Council will go from there. Smalley said there will be two bond issues on the October ballot. The first one is the ice skating/recreational facility. He said the cost is 2.5 million with a .73 mil rate increase, should it pass. Smalley said the facility would be covered & enclosed, Olympic size, and located east of the high school. He said this land was originally held in public health trust, the Borough would receive deed to it and they have gone on record stating they would turn the property over to the city should this project be passed. Smalley stated the second bond issue is an expansion to the library. The Library Commission gave the City Council proposal for a two story addition at approximately 3 million. The Council discussed going to a one story expansion (cutting the cost in half) with the ability to go two story eventually. Smalley said that is not what the Library Commission wanted so the Council went with the Library's request. Council included maintenance costs in both bond requests. Mahurin asked why the rink is Olympic size rather than standard. Smalley said the difference in cost between the two sizes is relatively small. He added this facility would be a year round, multi -use facility and would raise the mil rate approximately .84. Walker asked Smalley "why or how" the City Council supported a school tax. Smalley said the Council had previously discussed the general economic condition of the state and the City of Kenai receiving very little funds this year. He said the economic forecast is not good and the biggest expense in the state budget is set for education and health, safety, welfare issues. Smalley explained that years ago everyone who worked and received a paycheck paid a portion of money that went to state school tax which went directly into the school monies the legislature dealt with. The city feels the state needs to look into different methods of generating revenue for the state budget. The school tax is one the city does not feel is a bad idea. Smalley said it passed by all but one vote. Smalley said the idea of supporting dedicated fuel tax is a way to help the state generate M Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes - August 23, 1995 Page 9 maintenance funds. He stated it was tabled because the way the resolution is worded it could dedicate money to fuel for the state ferrys because they are a state transportation system. Therefore, it was tabled until a resolution could be drafted that spoke primarily to road/highway, asphalt type maintenance. Smalley said there was a resolution to support local control on gaming, including all forms. He said right now we can review the gaming permits, but the state controls it. The city would like to see this issue reviewed. Smalley said the Airport Commission asked for the Council's recommendation regarding a continuous video tape running in the Airport for the fishing industry. Smalley stated the Council approved supporting this video and charging them $50/month for three months. He said there is also a request from Fun in the Midnight Sun. They want to use a space at the end of the car rental agencies to set up reservations for people, etc. Smalley stated they also wanted the space for only three months. Council sent it back to the Airport Commission to see if they would object to paying for the whole year rather than only three months. Smalley noted the application received for matching grants. The Council told Administration to apply for additional money for the well, and the proposed expansion in the Sewer Treatment Plant. Smalley said there has been a request to review the regulation governing parking at the front of the airport. He said the signs say you have twenty minutes to park there, but the regulation states if you abandon your vehicle and go inside the terminal, technically, you are in violation. The City Manager will be reviewing this issue. Goecke asked why there is a prejudice between the fishing industry tape running 24 hours a day and only having to pay for three months and Fun in the Midnight Sun having to pay for 12 months. Smalley said it had not been rejected, it is being sent back for more information because it is a much larger space. b. Borough Planning Bryson said the August 14 meeting was very fast and all items were approved. He added there was only on item concerning Kenai, the Strawberry Park Plat. C. Administration La Shot said the Townsite Historic Board met on August 22 and approved of the Vozar development. The Committee also met with Preservation North who is doing the historic Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes - August 23, 1995 Page 10 survey in Old Town. La Shot said Administration met with Preservation North today to give them information to help get them started. La Shot said the Board voted to ask Council for permission to apply for a Phase 11 grant for the same type of grant being used for the survey. This grant would be for up to $6,000 to place signage in Old Town at appropriate sites. La Shot said Administration has gone through the interview process for an Admin. Assistant and should have someone here by the next meeting. 11. PERSONS PRESENT NOT SCHEDULED Gus Rodes referenced the two bond issues Smalley had discussed. He asked why the Planning and Zoning Commission has not done any planning on either of the two projects. Rodes stated he thought the Planning and Zoning Commission had to review all bond issues before they go to the City Council. Smalley said he does not think Rodes is correct. Rodes said he heard the most information, so far, about the ice rink tonight from Mr. Smalley. Smalley said these issues had been discussed at the last two Council meetings and the agendas were published in the Clarion. Smalley added he thinks the Clarion will be doing an article on these two items. Rodes said he thought the Planning Commission would have had hearings on it. Smalley replied that the Planning Commission would become involved when, and if, the projects came to fruition and pass. He added the Planning and Zoning Commission does not have to give its approval for bond issues. Rodes said he has not seen any justification or dollar amounts for these two issues. Smalley told him the information is in City Hall. Walker told Mr. Rodes, briefly, the Planning and Zoning Commission has not reviewed these issues and will not until the City Council requests it. 12. INFORMATION ITEMS a. Historic Board Future Information Sign Walker noted the elk in the first panel needs to be made to look like a moose. 13. COMMISSION COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS Werner -Quads asked La Shot about the travel trailers parked at fraternal organizations. La Shot suggested making it a winter project to decide what to do about this kind of RV parking. Werner-Quade commented that she reports this type of parking every summer and it never changes. La Shot said unless the RV's are skirted the city doesn't approach them. Werner-Quade referred to the thirty day rule, stating she would like to see it Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes - August 23, 1995 Page 11 enforced. La Shot asked for direction from the Commission - should he send letters to the organizations? Mahurin stated her concerns about sending a letter to the organizations. She stated that being able to park RV's is something that comes with being a member of a fraternal organization. She added as a member of one herself, she is aware of what the visitors from outside bring to the city. La Shot offered to send a letter informing the organization of the Code (move it after 30 days) and ask them to adhere to it. Mahurin concurred. Smalley added the visitors are not taking money from the community, they are adding to it. Werner-Quade reiterated her feelings that they are camping in the lots for an extended period of time with no conditional use permit. She said it is not fair to the people in the community that have applied and paid for a permit and are within the limits of the law. Goecke stated the city purchased a fire tanker for the Fire Department because the old one was unsafe. He said now the old one is being used and he feels it should be gotten rid of if it is unsafe. La Shot asked if Goecke is requesting a memo to the City Manager be sent for explanation. Smalley said he had asked the same question to the Fire Chief and he was told they wouldn't use it with the tank on it. Goecke said it has the tank on it. Smalley said a memo to the City Manager would be appropriate. Mahurin said she agrees with Goecke, if something is sold on one premise and in fact something else is happening an explanation is appropriate. Mahurin commented on the subject of RV's at fraternal organizations - she agrees we shouldn't blatantly allow the codes to be violated and a letter to the organizations would help. She added she does view it different than parking in the lot at K-Mart and she supports fraternal organizations for the things they do for the community. Mahurin encouraged Smalley to support buying the property on the bluff from Hakkinen, stating it would make a beautiful public facility. She also supports the Historic Board's request to apply for a grant for the informational signs. Walker commented on the thirty day camping limit - stating this Commission decided thirty days would be plenty of time to stay in one spot and after thirty days move the RV to another spot in town, they do not have to leave. Walker stated he thinks the Code should be enforced, after thirty days, move the RV. He said K-Mart is commercial property and they pay a considerable amount for the laying down of the parking lot and if they choose to allow people to park overnight, it is their business. Walker added it does bring in Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes - August 23, 1995 Page 12 money to the city and he does support allowing the campers to park there overnight. 14.

Introduction of persons in the audience: Mayor Williams introduced Parks & Recreation Commission Chair Dick Hultberg; Eileen Bryson and Dick Morgan, members of the original Parks & Recreation Commission; and, councilmember candidate Jackie Oberg. Later in the meeting councilmember candidates Joe Moore and Councilman Bookey were also introduced. ITEM B: SCHEDULED PUBLIC COMMENT B-1. Jerie Best - Use of New Senior Center Van Ms. Best introduced herself as residing in Soldotna. Best added, approximately five people who wanted to attend the meeting, could not because their motorized wheelchairs would not fit in the elevator. Best gave a synopsis of her background, i.e. working with seniors in Portland as a manager of senior services. Best went on to explain that there are no facilities in the communities for the disabled who are under the age of 60. The alternatives for those persons needing rides to doctor appointments, etc. are to hire a van from Heritage Place for approximately $70.00 or hire a taxi. Best requested the senior van be shared between the Senior Center and those disabled persons in the Kenai community. They would pay a fee for the rides as they are aware of the costs involved in operating the van. If the monies which purchased the van are public funds, the van should be used to provide transportation for the public. Best stated she has discussed the problem with doctors and they are willing to block time for seeing a number of patients, so that the van could be scheduled for that use at a specific time. She estimated four to eight rides a week would be needed. There KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES AUGUST 16, 1995 PAGE 3 are about 50 persons in the Kenai/Soldotna area that need rides. They would not need rides every day or every week. Best passed out a photograph of the Kenai van being used by the Kenai River Classic to transport senators and other dignitaries. Best questioned the use of the van for them and not for others in the community who need a ride to the doctor. Paul Sopchak - Mr. Sopchak introduced himself as the State Vocational Rehabilitation Director in Kenai. Sopchak explained he has the primary responsibility to find employment for mentally and physically disabled persons in the community. As an All America City, Sopchak hoped council could see this as an opportunity to determine how best it could serve all the individuals residing in the city. Also, with effective planning, the vans could be decisive in the future of all the city's people. Del Lopez - Mr. Lopez introduced himself as the director of the Independent Living Center in Soldotna. The purpose of the Living Center is to give information and referrals in regard to the disabled persons on the Peninsula. They have already established there is a need on the central Peninsula for transportation of disabled as there is no public transit system available, and especially for those people who are newly disabled without there own mode of transportation. Lopez added he believed, from the information included in newspaper articles, that the impact on the Senior Center would be minimal. Lopez also offered volunteers from the Living Center to coordinate ride scheduling. Lopez added, he strongly urged council to get a van with a lift as it is good to have it as a back-up van. Council Discussion - Councilwoman Monfor noted Best had said they would not expect the city van to be used to transport Soldotna residents to the doctor, only Kenai residents. Monfor asked City Attorney Graves what kind of liability the city would assume by transporting persons who are not seniors in a senior van. Monfor noted the council decided to purchase the van instead of the Senior Connection paying a portion of the cost. If the van is used for other persons who are not seniors, who is liable. Attorney Graves answered, if the city puts people in a city van, the city has the liability. The city has liability insurance. However, when applying for the insurance, the city did not tell KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES AUGUST 16, 1995 PAGE 4 the company that the city was transporting disabled people from the general population because the city does not cover that service. Finance Director Brown added, when applying for liability insurance, the forms ask if the city operates any mass transit system. on all the forms completed, he wrote no, except for senior citizen meals -on -wheels delivery. He was not aware if using the van for such a public transit system would affect the city's rates. Monfor asked if the city would provide the service for residents who are disabled, would an age criteria be established? If so, what would happen if there is a person who has no transportation, is not disabled, or may be on public assistance? The van could become a mass transit operation. Monfor added, she felt the idea of a van available for such use was very worthwhile and she was receptive to scheduling coordination, however, it is an all - encompassing question of what -ifs and the council would not be able to decide at this meeting or in two weeks. The "what ifs" would have to be researched more. Best stated the city is already operating a van with a lift and transporting disabled Kenai residents. She is suggesting a demand -response use. Insurance would have to be researched. They are asking for use of the van for people with very specific needs and mobility limitations. She sees the criteria to be someone who falls into a category of an agency that the city approves of, i.e. Vocational Rehabilitation, Independent Living, etc. They are asking for the help because there is no other system offered. Mayor Williams stated he felt the perception of the van being paid with public funds is somewhat skewed. Williams explained there were sufficient earnings in the senior housing account, from which council took money to buy the van. He did not want the perception to be that General Fund money, which the taxpayers had paid into the city, was used to purchase the van. Williams added his concerns that there were no people at the meeting or represented with letters (included in the packet) which were citizens of the City of Kenai speaking in regard to the use of the van. The letter from the Vocational Rehabilitation office had no signature. Williams stated he understands the need for transportation for the disabled, but believes the City of Kenai is the wrong venue. The Borough or KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES AUGUST 16, 1995 PAGE 5 Frontier Training, who could apply for grants to fund this type of transit system, would be more appropriate to offer the service Peninsula -wide. Councilwoman Monfor asked Attorney Graves -if the Senior Connection had purchased the van, would there be the same ramifications. Graves answered he did not think it would make a difference. As he remembered, the Senior Connection would have donated the van to the city with no strings attached and as such, the van would have become public property. Paul Sopchak - Mr. Sopchak explained the letter which Mayor Williams discussed, was written by him. He did not sign it as there were other persons working in his office who are residents of the City. Sopchak added, he has come across an increasing amount of citizens in Kenai that would profit from and use this type of transportation if it were available. He wrote the letter on behalf of his office. A gentleman from the audience asked if it was known how many people reside in the city of Kenai who are disabled and who did not attend the meeting. Williams noted the meeting had sufficient amount of notice. Someone could have responded by letter for them or for themselves. Also, it had been stated that 41 letters had been sent out to prospective users of a van and only four people were in attendance. Williams added, it is not that the council and City are not concerned, but that the City is the wrong venue. The City is not running a public transportation system. The van was not purchased specifically with taxpayers dollars. The city does fund the Senior Center with broad grants to do specifically that job. Williams asked how, in the annual audit, would the time spent by the Senior Citizens Director and staff, etc., in the transportation of disabled persons who do not fall under the criteria of senior citizen programs be explained. The city could be found in violation of the grants that fund senior center programs. City Manager Manninen stated the council voted the money, and it is public money, and is council's decision. It is also council's decision not be involved. It's been a long-standing decision not to be involved in a demand -response or fixed -route general transportation system, but only to have a system for the seniors. Manninen added he thought by expanding the coverage, it's a council decision to be involved or not to be involved and the KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES AUGUST 16, 1995 PAGE 6 staff could tell you if you wanted to be involved what the insurance would cost. Whatever it cost, if you wanted to go into a fixed route or a demand system, other cities have it. He is aware that type of insurance is very expensive. Manninen added, it's a council decision to decide whether or not they want to provide those services. And to what extent they want to provide them and whether you discriminate against the young or the old, the disabled or whomever. It could be called discriminated or providing services as it would be to provide services to the seniors for congregate housing at the Senior Center and that's been it. If council wants to expand that, it could be expanded or change it. It is a council decision. It's a policy decision. It's good to have the people come and say they have these needs. He does not think council needs to be defensive about why they can or cannot. They haven't provided the services in the past. It doesn't mean there are not needs or haven't been needs in the past either for disabled, handicapped or for younger, older, for schools or whomever. Basically, it is a council decision. Do you want to do it? What will the financial impact be? Is it worth the investment? Are there other private areas that would be gotten into that could provide the service? Williams asked if the city could act as a pass -through agency for grant monies to a non-profit who could offer this service. If there was an entity to undertake the responsibility of disabled transportation, in its entirety (purchasing vans with grant monies, furnishing the drivers, staff, insurance, etc.), could it be done, i.e. WRCC, etc. Manninen stated something like that could be done with a transit system, a separate transit system could be set up. It wouldn't have to be part of the city. It could be a borough -wide system. That makes more sense. If there are ten people in Kenai that need the services, does it make sense for the City of Kenai to provide such a demand system for ten people? Or, would it be better to have a system on a borough -wide level? The borough may say they cannot afford it because it would be a new system. Then you would get back to who provides busing for special events. How do they get services now and that may be the most cost- efficient way to do it. He did not think the city needed to feel defensive. It's just, you provide it or you don't provide. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES AUGUST 16, 1995 PAGE 7 Monfor stated she would like to know if Ms. Best or Mr. Lopez could provide information as to how many people reside in the City of Kenai who would need this service. Best stated they did come and measure the elevator and people couldn't come because they couldn't fit into the elevator. Best stated it was not a criticism. Manninen stated it was and could be responded to by saying that all it takes is a call to the city to let us know there is a problem and some alternate access could be made so that people could attend. However, the city needs to be notified. Manninen added, looking at the agenda, he knows there are the standard numbers for ADA access and the Clerk's office could be called or manager's office and say there is a problem. That's something that the city should do and will make a note to be accessible that way and do it and respond. The City never realized that as no one measured it and no one has that kind of disability where they went in. Manninen added, he was sure when the building was built it was accessible and met the code. If it didn't it wouldn't have been built. Information given by Mayor Williams was that it was the first time in 15 years that the question was raised. Apparently, when the elevator was in, it met code and maybe there are different disabilities, different sized chairs, a lot of things may be different. Mayor Williams thanked those persons who attended the meeting in regard to the use of the senior van and added that if council would want to consider making the van available as requested, it would be something that would need to be considered during budget hearings. A new program, such as this, would not be started at this time. Williams suggested the discussion could be brought back early in the new year for consideration during the next budget session. A woman from the audience stated if council would decide to go ahead with such a program, she hoped council would use the resources available in the community to find how many people in the Kenai community could use the services. If that information is not already known at that time, she would help in finding that information. Williams suggested she call the City Clerk and give her name and address for future contact. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES AUGUST 16, 1995 PAGE 8 B-2. Kayo McGillivray - National Recreation & Park Association - Proclamation Reading/Signing and Video Presentation. Parks & Recreation Director McGillivray presented a video which was produced by the Pacific Northwest Regional Council. The video discussed the benefits of parks and recreation services. McGillivray added, the video was produced during his tenure as president of the Alaska State Parks & Recreation organization. All the regional organizations are producing similar videos. At 7:45 p.m., a break was taken to watch the video. The meeting resumed at approximately 8:00 p.m. At that time, a proclamation (which is being sent to all members of the Pacific Northwest Regional Council for a similar presentation and signing) from the National Recreation and Park Association/Pacific Northwest Regional Council was read by Kenai Parks & Recreation Commission Chair, Dick Hultberg, Eileen Bryson and Dick Morgan (original members of the Kenai Parks & Recreation Commission). The proclamation was signed by Mayor Williams. B-3. Sandra Vozar - Land Trade Proposal between Swarner/O'Connell, Hakkinen and Vozar. Sandra Vozar introduced herself as a long-time resident of Kenai's Old Town and owner of the Toyon Apartments and an RV Park in Old Town. She is now developing Old Town Village which will include small log cabins for housing vendors and a salmon/halibut feed restaurant. Vozar reviewed information included in her letter which was included in the packet as Information Item No. 3. Vozar went on to explain that since Mission Avenue's bluff erosion problem, visitors to the area do not have a place to watch the activities at the mouth of the river. With this in mind, she has approached Dan Hakkinen, owner of property on the bluff which is close by her RV park (the property was noted on a map which Vozar passed out). Vozar stated she would like to trade or purchase the Hakkinen property and donate it to the city as a park. Vozar added, she owns property in different areas of the Peninsula and in Wasilla. She is willing to swap property and the city could put up the cash difference. Vozar stated she felt it would benefit the city as people need to come to Kenai and see what it has to offer. If the property is sold to someone else, it will be gone. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES AUGUST 16, 1995 PAGE 9 Council had no questions of Mrs. Vozar. Dan Hakkinen - Introduced himself as a resident of Soldotna, and owner of the property being discussed. Hakkinen explained he was not interested in trading his property for other property. He is willing to sell it and is asking $80,000. When he bought the property, it was appraised at $100,000. In 1987 it was appraised at $75,000. Hakkinen added, Mrs. Vozar asked if he would trade the property and he told her he was not interested. Vozar interjected she was willing to buy the property and willing to give up some of her land to get it. She thinks there may be people in the community who would be interested in working toward her proposed end. Williams stated there were two members of the press in the audience and that through their news releases about the meeting, might mention the proposed swap or trade of properties. Williams added, council had discussed the purchase of the property in the past but decided not to purchase it. BREAK TAKEN: 8:15 P.M. BACK TO ORDER: 8:33 P.M. ITEM C: PUBLIC HEARINGS C-1. Resolution No. 95-46 - Providing for the Submission to the Qualified Voters of the City of Kenai at the General Election to be Held in the City of Kenai on October 3, 1995, the Question of Issuing General Obligation Bonds or Otherwise Incurring Debt in an Amount Not to Exceed $ to Provide a Portion of the Funds Necessary to Construct an Ice Hockey/Skating Rink Facility. MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED for approval of Resolution No. 95-46 and Councilman Measles SECONDED the motion. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES AUGUST 16, 1995 PAGE 10 Public Comment: Marion Nelson - P.O. Box 3612, Kenai, AK. Nelson stated she sincerely supported the resolution and hoped it would be passed and the question would be taken to the voters. Councilman Bannock asked Nelson what scope of project did she support. Nelson answered as much multi -use of the ice as possible; the feasibility of keeping ice into March and part of the summer for workshops, hockey camps, summer training (which would require some level of refrigeration). Nelson added, an option she reviewed in EDD information on different types of facilities, would be not a completely enclosed building, without air -handling facilities. She believes that would be a saleable option to the community. That type of facility would be more useful and practical and could be sensibly expanded in the future. Bannock asked if a figure of $2 million was an amount she would support. Nelson explained she does not live in the city at this time, however if she were a resident, she would support that amount. If the facility is built, she plans to build on her property she owns in the city. Councilman Bookey asked, because she is a property owner in Kenai, building a facility may mean a mil rate increase. How would she feel about that. Nelson answered she supported it. She believes the facility would more than pay for itself. Such a facility would speak to parks and recreational activities (discussed in the video) and would be available for people of all ages. Kathy Heus - 4540 Kenaitze Court, Kenai. Heus questioned the statement "...provide a portion of the funds..." included in the resolution. Williams explained council would include an amount for the development of the facility. However, if the project funds would not be enough, the difference could be made up from the General Fund. The bond funding would cover the cost of what they want to do, but the wording allows some "wiggle room." Williams suggested an enclosed, covered ice rink and include machinery for ice making. If it is cold enough outside, the refrigeration would not be used. Williams added, he believed the facility could be built for $200-300,000 for the building; $1 million for the ice rink machinery, concrete, locker rooms and Zamboni area, etc. Williams suggested that type of facility KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES AUGUST 16, 1995 PAGE 11 could be built for approximately $2 million. Councilman Measles suggested the amount be set at $2.5 million so no monies would be taken from the General Fund. Councilwoman Monfor asked where the facility would be situated. Williams answered across from the Kenai Central High School. Because of the settlement of the Mental Health Lands Trust issue, the Borough can now apply to transfer that land from the State to the Borough and then the city can apply for transfer of the land (from the Borough) for public purpose use. The Borough could also hold the ownership and the city could lease it from them for $1 per year, or the city could give the rink to the Borough when the City no longer wants it. Williams added, use of that property would cut down the cost of the facility by using the school parking lot. There are public utilities (water/sewer, electricity) at the property, etc. Classrooms at the school could be used for housing visiting hockey teams, etc. City Manager Manninen added, council could consider $2.5 million on the bond issue and consider to donate the facility, upon completion, to the Borough and have them operate it. City Attorney Graves suggested the resolution be amended by adding "and equipping" in the body of the proposition to read, "...funds for planning, designing, acquiring, constructing and equipping..." MOTION TO AMEND: Councilman Bannock MOVED to add "and equipping" in the proposition as suggested by the City Attorney. Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. MOTION TO AMEND: Councilman Measles MOVED that the not -to -exceed figure be shown as $2,500,000. Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion. Councilwoman Swarner forwarded another advisory petition to the City Clerk. Williams noted the information included in the packet had only a portion of the signatures. All the signatures were included in the packet for the last meeting. He requested only one of the petitions be included this time to show the KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES AUGUST 16, 1995 PAGE 12 question asked of the people signing the petitions. Information included in the packet acknowledged there were 100 signatures, but only 69 of those signatures were of people registered to vote in the city of Kenai. Bannock asked, for clarification, the vote on the resolution is simply to place the question on the ballot. Williams answered yes, and that the vote on the resolution does not signify a position by the council or administration of the city. VOTE ON AMENDED MAIN MOTION: Swarner: Yes Monfor: Yes Measles: Yes Bannock: Yes Smalley: Yes Williams: Yes Bookey: Yes MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. C-2. Resolution No. 95-47 - Providing for Submission to the Qualified Voters of the City of Kenai at the General Election to be Held in the City of Kenai on October 3, 1995, the Question of Issuing General Obligation Bonds or Otherwise Incurring Debt in an Amount Not to Exceed $ to Provide a Portion of the Funds Necessary to Construct an Addition to the City of Kenai Municipal Library. MOTION: Councilwoman Monfor MOVED for approval of Resolution No. 95-47 and Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion. Kathy Heus - 4540 Kenaitze Court, Kenai. Heus introduced herself as the Chair of the Kenai Advisory Library Commission. Heus explained the Commission has had a library expansion on its goals and objectives for a number of years. They were happy that council had decided to consider bonding for an expansion. They have had a short amount of time to discuss a design, but worked with an architect to produce some possible plans. The designs are to allow for more space allocation. The Commission was not able to ask many questions of the architect, but the Commission discussed the designs at length at their last night's meeting. Heus added, the parks and recreation video shown at the beginning of the meeting was appropriate as the promotion of parks and recreation is part of the economics and livability of the KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES AUGUST 16, 1995 PAGE 13 community. This is something people and industry investigate prior to moving to a community. The library and other educational services are also investigated. Heus noted other Commission members who were in the audience, i.e. Bob Peters, Lorrene Forbes and Janice Rodes. Williams stated he and council thought the design of the facility was to have been completed some time ago. Public Works Director Kornelis stated the schematics had been done. Williams noted the proposed design is a 16,000 square foot addition. This would almost triple the size of the present building. Williams asked if the Commission had considered adding in increments. Librarian DeForest answered the Commission decided they should pursue the whole addition at this time. Williams suggested that at $1.50/sq. ft., the cost would be approximately $2.4 million. Kornelis added, that amount would not include the design, testing, inspection, etc. Their calculations were closer to $3.2 million at $2/sf. Bookey stated his concern that the maintenance and upkeep costs would be significant. He would like to see a simpler project. He did not believe the voters would agree to a cost of $3.2 million. Bookey suggested a cost of $1 to 1.5 million. Williams stated a number needs to be included in the resolution. At this time, they would not know what to expect from a smaller facility or how it could be enlarged in the future. Williams suggested placing a cap on what to ask and have the architect design to that cap. Councilwoman Monfor noted that Council's request in the Capital Improvements Project list was for $1 million. She stated she was concerned that it would put doubt in the voters' minds if they now ask for $3.2 million. Monfor explained the Commission felt it was a high amount to request, but that was because the design includes ADA accessible restrooms and an elevator, along with stacks and computer rooms. There are not a lot of rooms in the design. Monfor asked what would happen if the cost came up less than the amount requested for bonding. Councilman Measles answered, if the cost is less, they would only have to pay back the amount spent. Councilwoman Swarner asked how much it would cost to remodel the present facility to fulfill the ADA requirements. DeForest answered, four years ago the former Building Official suggested KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES AUGUST 16, 1995 PAGE 14 $50,000. Councilman Bookey asked if there would be an increase in personnel to run the facility with the addition. DeForest answered, maybe one full-time person. Williams referred to Monfor's remarks and stated if they place a figure in the resolution of which council is comfortable and the bond passes, they would then tell the architect and Commission to design the addition around that figure. MOTION TO AMEND: Councilwoman Monfor MOVED to place a figure of $3,000,000 in the resolution for a 16,000 square foot addition to the library. Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion. Williams stated he would like the addition to be done, but thinks a bond issue for that amount of money may fail. Bannock suggested the Library Commission will have to do an effective job promoting the issue. Bob Peters - Old Town, Kenai and Library Commission member. Stated his support of the addition to the library. Peters compared the passage of the bond resolution for the ice rink to the library addition bond resolution. There were 100 signatures on the advisory petitions and there are 14,000 cardholders for the library. Peters added, he believed $3 million is a reasonable figure. They would be building for the future. It would be more expensive to build the addition in sections. Peters added, he believed the public should decide. The addition to the library would be an asset to the community. Williams asked Finance Director Brown what mil rate would be required to pay off $5.5 million (ice rink and library bonds). Brown answered that over 20 years it would be a 1.63 mil rate increase for each year, i.e. .74 mil for the ice rink and .89 mil for the library. The city is at 3.5 mils now. Measles stated there will be more cost to the city for the operation and maintenance of both facilities. Probably in excess of $2 million. Swarner asked Heus if there was discussion of doing the addition in steps. Heus answered it was discussed a little. Heus added, they preferred building a daylight basement instead of two stories. In the past, they thought a second floor could be added KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES AUGUST 16, 1995 PAGE 15 to the present building. They were informed it could not. Monfor explained, the daylight basement preference was because it would only take one person to take care of the area. With two stories, it would be more complicated. Monfor added, she requested the high water table be researched for the daylight basement design. Heus explained that the Commission discussed the design at great length. Upon discussing, and given the information they had to make their decision, they felt the $3 million was what to ask for at this time. This decision was based on (1) that would be all they could add to the building because of the space and property availability; and (2) when figuring the cost, they suggested it would be a $32 cost per resident over thirty years' time. They felt that was not an extreme investment for the residents. Williams stated he felt there would be a definite mil rate increase to accomplish either of the proposals. Smalley stated he believed it was time to put the questions on the ballot and let the voters decide. The public will be told of a mil rate increase that will be caused by the projects. Janice Rodes - 207 Birch Street, Kenai and member of the Library Commission. Rodes asked if the bond resolution would be passed without saying what would be included. Williams answered it is a conceptual design and that either design presented would cost approximately the same amount. Rodes stated she plans to vote for the bond issue, but didn't know if she could explain it. Williams stated he hoped the Commission will press the architect to develop worthwhile schematic designs to post in lots of areas of the city for the people to review. Katie Peters - Old Town. Miss Peters stated she has lived in Kenai all her life and plans to live here in the future and a raise a family here. She also volunteers at the library. With new technologies, etc., she believes the addition to the library will be an asset to the community. There will be more rooms for books, etc. She believes the community should have the chance to vote on the issue. VOTE ON THE AMENDMENT (placing a figure of $3 million on the resolution): There were no objections. SO ORDERED. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES AUGUST 16, 1995 PAGE 16 MOTION TO AMEND: Councilman Smalley MOVED to amend the resolution to include "and equipping" in the body of the proposition (similar to Resolution No. 95-46). Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. VOTE ON MAIN AMENDED MOTION: Swarner: Yes Bannock: Yes Bookey: Yes Monfor: Yes Measles: Yes Smalley: Yes Williams: Yes MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. RETURN TO RESOLUTION NO. 95-46: Williams requested Clerk Freas to review her notes to examine whether the main amended motion for approval of Resolution No. 95-46 was voted on or not. Williams added he believed they did not vote on the main amended motion. Attorney Graves explained he believed the first vote was on the motion to amend and was by unanimous consent; the second motion to amend was by roll call; and there was no third vote on the main amended motion. Councilwoman Monfor asked for a point of clarification on the resolution for the library. Monfor noted the library, in the body of the resolution should read Kenai Community Library and not the Kenai Municipal Library. Monfor suggested the proposition should show that so that people will not be confused. Clerk Freas, upon checking her notes, agreed the main amended motion was not voted. Williams recalled Resolution No. 95-46 to the table. MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED to approve Resolution No. 95-46, in its entirety as amended twice. Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES AUGUST 16, 1995 PAGE 17 VOTE ON MAIN AMENDED MOTION (Resolution No. 95-46): Swarner: Yes Monfor: Yes Measles: Yes Bannock: Yes Smalley: Yes Williams: Yes Bookey: Yes MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. RETURN TO RESOLUTION NO. 95-47: Williams noted Councilwoman Monfor's concern the name of the facility in Resolution No. 95-47 (Kenai Municipal Library) should be changed to Kenai Community Library. Attorney Graves advised the resolution should be reconsidered and amended as the resolution had been passed by council. MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION: Councilwoman Monfor MOVED for reconsideration of Resolution No. 95-47 and Councilman Bookey SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. 80 ORDERED. MOTION TO AMEND RESOLUTION NO. 95-47: Councilwoman Monfor MOVED to amend Resolution No. 95-47 that anything that says City of Kenai Municipal Library be changed to Kenai Community Library and requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion. There was no discussion on the motion. VOTE ON AMENDMENT: There were no objections to the request for UNANIMOUS CONSENT. SO ORDERED. MOTION TO APPROVE RESOLUTION NO. 95-47 AS AMENDED: Councilwoman Monfor MOVED for adoption of Resolution No. 95-47 as amended in its entirety. Councilman Bookey SECONDED the motion. There was no discussion or objections. Williams requested a roll call vote for the record. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES AUGUST 16, 1995 PAGE 18 VOTE ON AMENDED RESOLUTION NO. 95-47: Swarner: Yes Bannock: Yes Bookey: Yes Monfor: Yes Measles: Yes Smalley: Yes Williams: Yes MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. Librarian DeForest noted that it was Katie Peters' 12th birthday. Miss Peters has been volunteering at the library for four years. Council and audience congratulated her and thanked her for her interest and support. C-3. Resolution No. 95-48 - Supporting the Re -Establishment of a School Tax. MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED for approval of Resolution No. 95-48 and Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion and requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. Williams explained council had the resolution prepared to be presented to the AML annual meeting. They are requesting the support of the AML and the Legislature to include a school tax of $100 a year to be paid by each person employed in the state. Everyone would be taxed $100 for the support of education. It would include those persons who do not live in the state paying the tax.) There were no public comments. Councilman Bannock stated he would vote against the resolution as he feels there can be other cuts made before making a mandatory school tax. Williams stated he would prefer the resolution not include the $100 amount. MOTION TO AMEND: Councilwoman Monfor MOVED to amend Resolution No. 95-48 by removing the $100 from the "now, therefore." Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES AUGUST 16, 1995 PAGE 19 VOTE ON MAIN AMENDED MOTION: Swarner: Yes Monfor: Yes Measles: Yes Bannock: No Smalley: Yes Williams: Yes Bookey: Yes MOTION PASSED. C-4. Resolution No. 95-49 - Supporting an Amendment to the State Constitution to Allow Establishment of a Dedicated Fuel Tax to Support the State's Transportation Systems. MOTION: Councilwoman Monfor MOVED for approval of Resolution No. 95-49 and requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion. There were no public comments. Mayor Williams explained the resolution requests the setting up of a dedicated fund not now allowed by the Alaska Constitution. At this time, all funds must go into the General Fund, except the Permanent Fund and the Reserve Fund. As written, the resolution requests all fuel taxes go into a dedicated fuel tax fund to be used for highway maintenance. Councilman Measles stated the resolution did not state that. Williams noted it asked to fund the transportation system. Measles stated that would mean the state could buy a new ferry with the money. Williams stated the problem is that without the wording in that form, it would never get passed by the those in the southeast because of the importance of the ferry system to their communities. Councilman Bannock asked if the fuel tax would include the ferry fuel. Williams answered yes. Williams suggested to say "maintenance of the state's transportation systems." Smalley stated the money could still go to the ferries. Williams explained, the purchase of a new ferry may not be considered as maintenance. They are concerned about the aging fleet of ferries which are to be replaced in the near future. Williams added, the way the resolution is now worded, it would also include airports, docks, ferries, etc. Measles suggested the wording be re -thought. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES AUGUST 16, 1995 PAGE 20 MOTION TO TABLE: Councilwoman Monfor MOVED to table Resolution No. 95-49 and Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. The resolution was sent back for further work and review. C-5. Resolution No. 95-50 - Supporting Local Control Over Gaming/Gambling in the City Limits of the City of Kenai. MOTION: Councilman Bookey MOVED for approval of Resolution NO. 95-50 and Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion and requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. There were no public comments. Williams explained the resolution was being considered because at this time, the city of Kenai has no control in who participates in gaming or gambling within the city. The city is required or requested to review applications for such things as bingo and pull -tabs, but if council objects, and unless it follows a strict State criteria, the city's objections are not heard. As a result, the city has refused to comment on applications for gaming and gambling within the city limits. The council is saying they want more local control over whether gaming and gambling should occur within the city limits. Councilman Measles asked why the resolution was directed only at multiple -beneficiary permits, rather than gaming permits in general. Attorney Graves explained the resolution said "gaming activities including multiple -beneficiary permits." Measles noted that in the second, fourth, and fifth whereas, only multiple -beneficiary permits are discussed. Measles stated he thought it should refer to all gaming permits. Bookey added, that was council's original intent. City Manager Manninen stated the current law is in the first whereas included in the resolution. It states, "Local government is preempted from controlling gambling or gaming activities except for operators and vendors..." There is no authority for multiple -beneficiary permits. Representative Navarre's HB271 would give the municipalities the opportunity to control or have some say on multiple -beneficiary permits. The interpretation, KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES AUGUST 16, 1995 PAGE 21 the way this was drafted, was that it was for multiple - beneficiary permits and if council wants it different, the resolution can be amended. Councilman Smalley asked if state law currently gives the city authority over just gaming permits. Measles answered, only as far as operators and vendors. Not the permit holder. Smalley stated he thought the original intent of council was to cover all. Measles agreed and stated that unless you have that, there still is no control over a permit holder from out of the city who is applying to operate in the city of Kenai. MOTION TO TABLE: Councilman Measles MOVED to table the resolution and Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. Williams noted that the resolution had been tabled for redrafting and both Resolution No. 95-49 and 95-50 are to be included for action at the next council meeting. ITEM D: COMMISSION/COMMITTEE REPORTS D-1. Council on Aging Councilwoman Swarner reported a group of seniors from the Wasilla area visited the Kenai Senior Center. D-2. Airport commission Councilman Measles reported the minutes were not included in the packet. There are some items coming up later in the meeting which were discussed by the Commission at their last meeting. Mayor Williams noted that he, Councilman Measles, Airport Manager Ernst and others attended the ribbon -cutting ceremony for the newly paved CAP taxiway. D-3. Harbor Commission Councilman Bookey reported the Commission met and discussed bluff erosion and access to the dunes. The Commission is concerned about what is taking place and discussed again the placing of pillars at the bottom of the bluff to help stop the erosion. The KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES AUGUST 16, 1995 PAGE 22 Commission chair was going to discuss the matter with the city manager. Bookey stated he was not aware if that discussion had taken place. Williams noted there was a discussion after the meeting in regard to a proposal for engineering. Bookey reported he did not think it would be appropriate to bring that information to council as the Commission had not discussed the proposal as a whole. Bookey stated he would first discuss the matter with the Commission and then bring it to council. D-4. Library Commission Councilwoman Monfor reported the Commission met August 15. There was a lot of input from the Commission in regard to the proposed library addition. She will request Friends of the Library to urge people to get out and vote. D-5. Parks & Recreation Commission Councilman Bannock reported the Commission met but no meeting was held as there was no quorum. D-6. Planning & Zoning Commission Councilman Bannock reported he attended the Planning & Zoning Commission meeting for Councilman Smalley. Bannock stated it was a short meeting at which a site plan was approved. The Commission also discussed the council's reversal of P&Z's finding in regard to the Benton appeal. They discussed the Comprehensive Plan and found there were different opinions of what the plan talked about in regard to the Benton area. Bannock added, he didn't know if the map in the Comprehensive Plan was for what is there now or for what it should look like in the future. Williams stated he thought the that a lot in the near future. Comprehensive Plan does define that is why he voted as he did Commission would be discussing Bannock stated he thought the for the future of the area and on the matter. Parks & Recreation Director McGillivray reminded council that they directed Administration to put out a RFP for an instructor/trainer for the Recreation Center. McGillivray reported he did and received one reply. The proposal was KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES AUGUST 16, 1995 PAGE 23 submitted by Cherie Woods for $35 an hour. McGillivray explained the $35/hour price was what she had suggested previously as an instructor for the Wellness Program. McGillivray continued, Woods would be available for classes on Tuesday and Thursday mornings and evenings. In his budget for FY 95/96, he included funding for classes only for one hour in the evening for the Wellness Program. He would like to offer two classes on Tuesday and Thursdays. McGillivray asked council if they wanted him to have an appropriation ordinance prepared for the next council meeting in order to allow for two classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Swarner asked if McGillivray thought there would be enough interest to hold the morning classes. McGillivray answered yes. Swarner stated that she thought if council was in favor of the Wellness Program, citizens and employees, they should try it. McGillivray stated it would be for a fifty -week time at approximately $3,500 cost. McGillivray added, the employees would pay half the normal cost for a card. They plan to open the class to the public as there may not be enough city employees participating to fill the classes. Councilman Smalley asked if the statement "the employees will pay half," means all employees. McGillivray answered, all city employees who are involved in the Wellness Program. They have an option of being in the program or not. MOTION: Councilwoman Swarner MOVED for an adjustment to the funds. Councilman Bannock SECONDED the motion. Mayor Williams asked how much was Swarner suggesting. Swarner answered, beginning in September for the additional hours in the morning. McGillivray stated he would discuss the matter with the Finance Director and work out the cost to run the program until the end of June. An appropriation ordinance will be included in the next council meeting agenda. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES AUGUST 16, 1995 PAGE 24 D-7. Miscellaneous Commissions and Committees Beautification Committee - Councilwoman Swarner reported there was no quorum for the Committee's last meeting. A short work session was held and then they attended a reception at the Leif Hansen Memorial Park. The group, along with other members of the public and representatives from the Anchorage Botanical Gardens and Cooperative Extension Service toured the gardens. The Beautification Awards were presented on Wednesday at the Chamber luncheon. Historic District Board - Williams noted there were two applications for placement on the Board which were included in the packet. There was a question of residency of one of the applicants and also what, if any, specifications of those positions were required. Clerk Freas was requested to investigate the requirements of the two available positions and the residency of the applicants. The information is to be brought back to council as soon as possible. ITEM E: MINUTES E-1. Regular Meeting of August 2, 1995. Amended and approved at Consent Agenda. ITEM F: None. ITEM G: OLD BUSINESS None. ITEM H: NEW BUSINESS H-1.

Finance Director Brown corrected him and stated there were other purchase orders involved. Kornelis corrected and stated approximately $40,000. VOTE ON MAIN AMENDED MOTION: There were no objections. SO ORDERED. H-3. 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. Introduction approved by consent agenda. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES AUGUST 16, 1995 PAGE 26 H-4. 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. Introduction approved by consent agenda. H-5. Ordinance No. 1661-95 - Increasing Estimated Revenues and Appropriations by $36,800 in the S.T.P. - Disinfection/Safety Program Capital Project Fund. Introduction approved by consent agenda. . H-6. Discussion - Airport Commission Recommendations H-6a. Salmon Producers Alliance Williams referred to the memorandum included in the packet which explained the Salmon Producers Alliance has requested to lease space in the airport terminal. The space would allow the placement of a video cabinet and monitor to play an informational film about the Cook Inlet salmon fishing industry. Airport Manager Ernst stated the operation would be like the Kenai video which had been in the airport previously. He has suggested the video be operated by a push button control and that the Airport Commission and council will preview and approve of the film before it is used at the airport. Ernst suggested a flat rate lease charge of $50/month. Council had no objections to going forward with the proposal. H-6b. Fun in the Midnight Sun Reservation Central Airport Manager Ernst reviewed the information included in the packet in regard to the proposal from Barb Kangas/Fun in the Midnight Sun Reservation Central. Kangas would like to lease counterspace formerly occupied by Raven Transit in the airport terminal (counterspace at the south end of the rental car spaces). From there, she would operate a booking agency. Ernst explained the business would be similar to what the Tourism Council had proposed earlier in the year. Kangas has stated the space would be attended during the work day. Hours of the business would be from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. daily. Kangas is requesting to lease the space for the months of June, July and KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES AUGUST 16, 1995 PAGE 27 August of 1996. The Airport Commission has suggested a flat rate lease rate of $50 to $75.00. The city would control how the booth is set up, etc. Councilman Bookey asked how much the kiosk spaces are rented for a year. Ernst answered $200 a year. Williams noted Kangas wants to secure the space so that she can advertise in the Milepost, Alaska Magazine, etc. for the new issues. Measles stated his concern that leasing that space for only June, July and August would lock up the leasing of the space for one year. Councilwoman Monfor suggested council not make a decision at this time, but that Ernst forward council's concerns to Kangas. Monfor suggested Kangas be asked if she would consider renting the space for $50 a month for twelve months. Ernst stated he believed that would be appropriate and thought Kangas would be accepting of that suggestion. H-60. Airport Regulation Amendment Airport Ernst referred to the information included in the packet which explained that the Airport Commission recommended amending the Airport Regulations' definition of "loading zone" at Section 6.05.010(c). Ernst explained the way the regulations read is not how that regulation is enforced. Amending that regulation will better define the loading zone and allow persons to leave their vehicles to pick up or drop off passengers, baggage, etc. Councilman Bookey asked if that meant a person could park in front of the terminal to go in to buy a ticket. Ernst stated he did not think the regulation needed to be that specific. The time allowed would remain at 20 minutes. Williams noted that the regulation and the signage are in conflict to each other. The change in the regulation would make them more in unison. Some question arose as to the procedure in which the regulations needed to be amended. Attorney Graves stated the code required that the amendment be promulgated by the city manager first, after that, it is brought before council for review and amendments if needed, or approval. Mayor Williams requested the amendment be promulgated by the city manager and returned to council for review and consideration at the next council meeting. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES AUGUST 16, 1995 PAGE 28 H-7. Discussion - Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation's Municipal Matching Grants. Public Works Director Kornelis explained he received a priority list from the State Department of Transportation. They are asking for the City's request list. Kornelis suggested additional funds for the water well development and STP expansion be listed as requests. Kornelis added the list is not due until September 15. If council has additional projects to list, he will add them. Williams confirmed council's suggestion that the water well development be first on the list and then additional funds for the STP future expansion. Smalley asked if he intended to list both projects on the list. Answer was yes. There were no objections. EXECUTIVE SESSION None held. ITEM I: ADMINISTRATION REPORTS Mayor a. MAPTS - Williams reported he met with the University Chancellor, and representatives of MAPTS and Unocal at a dedication of a new launch facility for the pond at the Fire Training Facility. The launch facility was donated by Unocal. They are also cutting a new road to the pond from the school. Williams also reported he agreed the city would donate truck loads of sand for the road. Williams asked council approval for the donation of sand. Kornelis stated the sand would come from the airport and the school is situated on airport lease land. Airport Manager Ernst stated it was a matter of interpretation of FAA requirements as they state that sand or gravel taken from the airport must be paid for at the going rate. Williams stated approximately 20 truckloads of sand would be needed. Williams was requested to find out the amount of sand and report back before committing. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES AUGUST 16, 1995 PAGE 29 b. Marathon Oil Reception - Williams reported he would attend a reception in Anchorage with Marathon Oil's board of directors. C. Donkey Engine - Williams reported he was work on moving the donkey engine to the city yards. Williams added, there was a possibility he would have to pay $500 for a crane to do the work. Williams asked if council had any objections to the expenditure of that amount. There were no objections voiced. 1 -2. city Manager a. Water Well Property - Manninen reminded council that a few meetings ago they had some concerns over the water well property. He wrote a letter to the Borough. The Borough is proposing to have some of the land by Kenai Spur (passed out a map), about twelve acres, deeded over to the city for one dollar for government purposes and with an option to get the other property that's north of that property if the city has any use for it. They have discussed the possible use as a park cross- country skiing area in the future or the Mayor suggested that we might want to acquire the property and potentially swap it with the BOR for the property that they have title to next to the golf course and work the land swap out that way. Manninen asked what council's feeling was. Manninen added, first of all they would like to get this information so that they can get the city the title to whatever property that the city desires by the end of September. Measles asked if the 12 acres were included in the property as part of the total package. Manninen answered yes. Measles suggested the city take it all. Council agreed. Williams requested that Administration begin working with the Borough to acquire land next to the high school for possible placement of an ice rink. Make sure the Borough applies to the state for ownership of the property. After that, they will discuss who will own it after that. Williams clarified that the property as the land at Rogers and Lawton, bordered by Lawton and the Spur and Rogers. Smalley asked if at one time there was a commitment from the Borough Mayor's office? Williams answered yes, there was a commitment but then the Mental Health Land issue got involved. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES AUGUST 16, 1995 PAGE 30 Manninen added that on the well development property, Mayor Gilman was very cooperative and it probably saved six months to one year of bureaucratic haggling just by suggesting that they hurry up. We will have to thank Mayor Gilman for that. b. Ryan's Creek - Manninen reminded council they wanted to know who owned what property on the north side of Ryan's Creek and it's Shelden Denton and Louis Schilling. Bookey asked if there was any other private property in the area. (Williams suggested Manninen show council the map he had which depicted the property and its owners.) Manninen continued, the other property is city -owned on the Senior Center side and except for Olga's, the vet clinic and a parcel behind it that Jeff Jefferson recently bought, the other properties are city property and there's a city -owned property map here somewhere on the board and one that just shows city property in green and if you look where it is, it will show you (from the Borough) who owns what property. C. Industry Appreciation Day - Manninen reported he received something today on Industry Appreciation Day on September 2 for Leif Hansen Park, 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The request is for a source of electric power for the bands at no charge, permission to block Frontage Road from Olga's to the Uptown cross -street Spur View; and a $500 donation to assist in funding the event; a waiver of all permit fees and charges for the event. The letter was signed Jack Brown, Co -Chair. Councilman Smalley stated his concern of blocking Frontage Road with the road construction going on in the area. Manninen stated he thought the construction will be out of there and this is two weeks down the road. They told us a week ago that within two to three weeks they would be out of, back past KMart. They'll be parked in front of Craycroft. They'll be out of that area. Mayor Williams stated he spoke with Mr. Goforth about the event. Williams added the celebration plans were brought to his attention by the Chamber of Commerce director. Williams stated he thought they need to wait and see if it transpires. Councilwoman Monfor explained to the public that the Industry Appreciation Celebration is not sponsored by the industry, it's individuals that want to show appreciation to Unocal, Marathon, Shelby, BP, Tesoro, Arco and Stewart for their participation, support by tax dollars, jobs, good will, school funding, etc. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES AUGUST 16, 1995 PAGE 31 Williams asked Kornelis if the electrical power in the park was on there all the time. McGillivray answered yes. Councilman Smalley stated he did not have a problem supporting the celebration. His concern was with public safety. Smalley asked Chief Morris if he foresaw and trafficking problems. Chief Morris stated he discussed the matter with the city manager and they decided he would find out from the contractor where they would be on the project at that time and what the detours would be in that area. If there is no detour through there, it should work out fine. Councilwoman Monfor suggested supplying sanitation facilities (port -a -potties taken off the beach) and waive the permitting, etc. Monfor added she was not suggesting a monetary donation, but the city could donate the port -a -potties, garbage receptacles, electricity, and permit fee waivers. There were no objections from Council. d. Kulila Lot - Manninen reported there were pictures of the Kulila lot available for council review. The only thing he wanted to say was that it cost $679.40 to haul garbage from the lot and take it to the Borough land fill. Williams stated the liability of the boat on the property has been discussed. Williams referred to City Attorney Graves to explain the particulars of marine law. Graves stated the boat had been roped off to keep people away. State statutes dictate the record owner must be notified. DOT declined to be involved. Through the Coast Guard the record owner was found to be Sherwyn and Associates whose individual partners are Sherwyn Dean, Miles Dean, Arlen Dean, Jackson. After their addresses are obtained, a notice will be served to them to let them know they will have 20 days to move the boat or it will be destroyed. Councilman Measles asked if marine law applies if it is a land- locked boat. Graves stated the statute says owners and lienholders must be notified of removal any derelict vessel on public property. The city will do the removal and he expects to have the addresses of the owners by the end of the week. The owners will then be notified by letter giving them 20 days in which to remove the boat. Graves added he is being very careful to make sure everything is done by the book because of the owners, litigious reputations. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES AUGUST 16, 1995 PAGE 32 I-3. Attorney No report. I-4. City Clerk a. Kenai Peninsula Municipal Coalition - Clerk Freas referred to the meeting notice which was added to the packet. If council wishes to attend, notification is requested. Councilman Bookey stated he did not feel a tour of Resurrection Bay would be constructive. Bookey stated he would not be going. Councilwoman Monfor stated she attended two of the Coalition meetings and those were constructive. They were held at the Borough. Monfor added, the one meeting that the group traveled to Seldovia was so that everyone could be familiarized with the area. Williams stated he has been stand-offish about the meetings, however he had suggested to council that if they are meeting, the city should be represented. Bookey agreed, but felt the meetings should be in a more productive venue. Bookey added, he felt that traveling around is more like a junket. He spoke with people who attended the Coalition's last meeting in Seldovia and they felt the same. Councilman Smalley asked if a meeting of this type would be considered a closed meeting and be in conflict with the Open Meetings Act. Graves stated if it is an individual meeting it would be. As long as it is not a meeting of the Kenai City Council. Members present would have to be three or enough to control an issue. Williams added, the changes in the Open Meetings Act were written in such a manner as to exclude gatherings of officials, as long as Councilmembers of different municipalities did not meet together and have a meeting of their own without the proper notice, etc. b. Ballot Placement - Freas referred to her memorandum included in the packet which defined the ballot placement procedure for the city of Kenai. Freas explained the statute had changed and rotation of names was no longer required. In order to objectively place names in some order on a ballot, the city held a drawing. Freas announced the procedure was successful and the placement of the names were chosen to be: KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES AUGUST 16, 1995 PAGE 33 Mayor: Williams Rodes Councilmember: Bookey Moore Wehrstein Tomrdle Oberg Freas added the procedure was observed by Jackie Oberg and Diane Stoeberl. Mayor Williams complimented the Clerk for the manner in which she handled the filing of candidates, timely manner in which all was completed, etc. Williams also thanked the Clerk for calling the Division of Elections in regard to his complaint of the new process. The reason the rotation of names on ballots was first put into law was due to violations in balloting. Freas explained she found the law was changed mainly due to the expense of rotating the names. Each rotation required a different printing plate which is costly. I-5. Finance Director No report. I-6. Public Works Director No report. I-7. Airport Manager No report. ITEM J: DISCUSSION J-1. citizens a. Katie Peters - Old Town. Peters explained she has been volunteering at the Kenai Visitors Center for the summer. While there, she had been asked numerous times for directions to the Mt. Redoubt lookout as it is advertised in the Milepost magazine for whale watching. She was instructed to tell visitors to use Spruce Street to the beach to watch for whales. Peters added, it KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES AUGUST 16, 1995 PAGE 34 is hard to observe the whales at eye level. Peters suggested that if the city wants to develop a tourist destination, a place is needed to watch the whales. Peters stated she thought Mission Avenue should be saved in order that the tourists will have a better whale -watching observation point. Peters asked when and what will be done to help stop the bluff erosion on Mission Avenue. Councilwoman Monfor answered the city is working to find a solution. Councilman Smalley explained the matter is under advisement. Monfor added, nobody really knows. Different ideas have been investigated. The Harbor Commission is working toward a solution. Bookey stated he thought a plan would be recommended by the Harbor Commission in the next 60 days. b. Emily DeForest - Librarian DeForest announced the Library has a display about electronic mineral management for the public's review. DeForest added it was very interesting. C. Local Author/Reynolds - DeForest reported local author Steven Reynolds would be visiting the library on September 8 for a book signing. His book is entitled, "Beyond the Killing Tree." d. Library Commission/Student Representative - DeForest requested a letter of thanks be sent to Katherine Kornelis who was a very active student representative to the Library Commission. Councilman Smalley was requested to find another student for that position as Kornelis had graduated from high school. Clerk Freas reported she received a letter from a senior at KCHS who has stated her interest in being the student representative to the Parks & Recreation Commission. Her letter will be included in the next council packet. J-2. Council Bookey - a. Asked what was being done to the road at the corner of Willow and Fidalgo. Kornelis explained there was a dip in the pavement. When working on that, they found it was a large bury hole and a broken sewer line causing the problem. It is now being repaired. b. Bookey reported he would be traveling to Barrow on August 24 and 25 to attend an AML Board of Directors meeting. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES AUGUST 16, 1995 PAGE 35 Bookey requested council forward any suggestons to himthey may have in regard to the AML Policy Statement. C. Bookey also reported there was a new staging area behind the congregate housing facility to where Miss Peters could direct visitors to go to watch the whales. The parking lot there is an excellent viewing spot. City Manager Manninen added he informed and suggested to the Visitors Center that area was available for whale watching and they chose not to use it. d. Bookey also thanked Miss Peters for attending the meeting and participating with her comments and suggestions. Swarner - Thanked the Parks & Recreation crews for their efforts during the summer beautification program. Monfor - Thanked Miss Peters for her.participation and comments. Monfor added she was impressed that Mr. Peters also continues to attend council meetings and participate. Measles - No comments. Bannock - No comments. Smalley - a. Smalley referred back to the discussion in regard to the proposed library addition. He remembered the building was to have been designed to support a second story. Smalley requested Kornelis to investigate the matter to see if that was what was requested, if that was what was paid for and if it is what was requested, etc. why wasn't it built that way. Councilwoman Swarner stated she was on the Library Commission when the library was built. It was not designed to support a second story. The addition was designed for a second story, but the council did not appropriate enough money to build a second story. Kornelis added he believed that decision had something to do with the grant. Kornelis stated he did not think he had the information any longer. Measles suggested there may be some information on the RFP's or minutes. Measles added he remembered there was a lot of discussion about designing for a second floor on the addition to the original building. b. Smalley thanked Miss Peters for attending and participating in the meeting. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES AUGUST 16, 1995 PAGE 36 C. Smalley reported the fourth Habitat for Humanity home is being built on the Peninsula in Soldotna. The Mayor and a councilmember from the city of Kenai were on the wall -raising project. There was no one there representing the city of Soldotna. Williams - a. Referred to Information No. 2, STIP list of projects. Williams stated he believed the list submitted was pretty much what council had in mind. If they had comments, please inform Kornelis. b. Williams also thanked Miss Peters for attending and participating in the meeting. Williams also wished her happy birthday.

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? F'*1 FUN IN THE MIDNIGHT SUN Aexervafin 6nlral 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 & Bs , 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 .�eae na&n 6nhvl 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. IN CLOSING : FUN IN THE MIDNIGHT SUN RESEBi'ATI01V CENTRAL WILL ONLY ENHANCE THE SERVICES ALREADY OFFERED TO THE VISITORS AND LOCAL RESIDENTS OF THE KENAI PENINSULA.

Binkley Street Soldotna, AK 99669 Re: CITY OF KENAI'S REQUEST TO ACQUIRE KPB LANDS BY DONATION FOR THE CITY OF KENAI FOR GOVERNMENT USE/PUBLIC PURPOSES Dear Mr. Dudley: Confirming our conversation today, this is a formal request from the City of Kenai to acquire, through donation from the Kenai Peninsula Borough, a tract of land generally described as follows: The NW a of Section 36, T6N, R11W, Kenai, except that land dedicated for the Kenai Spur Road right-of-way and platted for the Beaver Creek Alaska subdivision lying within the NW ; of Section 36. The city of Kenai is interested acquisition of this property for public purposes, by donation, from the Kenai Peninsula Borough, for the following government/public purposes: 1. To develop a new city water well. 2. For a future site for a satellite fire station. 3. For a cross-country ski area for parks and recreation programs/transfer to the BOR for other lands within the city of Kenai, located near the Kenai golf course. (This proposed government land swap would be only for the portion of this description north and east of the 12.43 acres set aside for the satellite fire station and the city water well.) The said satellite fire station and city water well land is approximately 942 feet along the Kenai Spur Road and 575 feet deep and is a rectangular lot containing approximately 12.43 acres. It is bordered on the east by Raven Street in the Beaver Creek Alaska subdivision plat, on the south by the Kenai Spur Road, on the north by the rest of the NW; of Section of 36 land requested to be donated to the city of Kenai and on the west by other borough lands. It is my understanding that by making this request at this time that the city would be able to have the property transferred by donation to the city of Kenai from the Kenai Peninsula Borough by the end of September, 1995. Please confirm. If there is any other information you need along with this request, please advise. Also, attached is a copy of the map illustrating the property requested by the city of Kenai in this government land transfer request.

KENAI PENINSULA BOROUGH ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT, INC. Funds have been contributed by the Borough ($100,000) and City of Kenai ($40,000) toward the purchase of the ARCO building in Kenai to establish the EDD's Business Innovation Center (small business incubator and EDD office space). The Center is a landmark effort toward strengthening the opportunity of Kenai Peninsula entrepreneurs to create employment through development of value-added products. It is also a significant demonstration of a public/private partnership. In addition to the public contributions, ARCO Alaska has donated 40% of the facility value (total value is appraised at $770,000) and First National Bank of Anchorage is financing the outstanding balance through special terms consistent with the needs of the project. Small business incubators have been proven successful in reversing the high failure rate in new business start-ups. There are now over 500 incubators in the U. S. which are successfully generating new businesses, creating jobs, and improving local economies. This project will apply the best of what has been learned from past incubator experience from throughout the nation and place in use 13,000 sq. ft. of building and 32 acres of improved land as the anchor facility for a Kenai Peninsula small business incubator system. The City of Kenai has issued a challenge to the other municipalities to join them in financial contribution to the project. The reasoning is that the services of the Center will outreach to all areas of the borough and projects can be taken in as focus clients of the Center whether or not they can physically locate on the site. Further, the long-term project plan is to establish satellite incubators in Seward and Homer, at which time reciprocal support might be expected. We of the EDD Board and staff would welcome the opportunity to visit with you and your council on the project implications for your community. Thank you for your support of the EDD. /0 Sincerely, James A. Elson Chairman . City of Kenai Alaska State Chamber of Commerce It 563-4881 M8/25/95 08:20 A ALASKA STATE CHAMBER • FISCAL NOTES • AUGUST 2 Six Tools To Close the Gap , Commission Invites Public Comment on Which to Use When Even the most optimistic Alaskan would have a hard time sticking his or her head into the sand to avoid dealing with the fiscal gap. In spite of the cries of "fiscal gap" by some over recent years, Alaska has been bailed out. In the late 1980s, the Gulf War sent oil prices soaring, filling the gap for a couple of years. Then the State received nearly $4 billion from settlement of oil and gas tax disputes which has since filled the gap. These windfalls have enabled Alaska to continue a life- style it could not otherwise afford. In spite of a growing population and the de- mands it creates for increased services, state spending has been reduced 25% over the last five years when inflation is considered. Even if a tight lid is kept on spending, the gap can be expected to Yikes! The "T" Word To date, there have been two politically difficult ,ords to speak when it comes to potential ways of .;losing the fiscal gap —capping (or eliminating) the Permanent Fund Dividend and the "T" word — taxes. Given the potential size of the gap, no amount of reasonable budget cuts, use of reserves, or economic development opportunities on the horizon will sustain closing the gap. The commis- sion suggests it's time to talk about the "T" word. To add perspective, the commission looked at Alaska's current tax burden: Question: What is the annual tax burden for a family of four with a gross income of $50,000 and a typical house for that income? Answer: Anchorage Seattle Billings Personal Income Tax $0 $0 $2,108 Property Tax $1,421 $1,691 $1,423 State Sales Tau $0 $998 $0 Car Taxes $93 $538 $493 PF Dividend -$3,932 $0 $0 Total 42,418 $3,227 $4,024 grow to nearly $1.4 billion by Fiscal Year 2005. This dismal possibility provides the backdrop for the commission's remaining work. Its prelimi- nary report identifies six "tools" through which the gap can be closed: • Cut spending • Use reserves and other assets • Raise revenues through economic development • Raise taxes and user fees • Use Permanent Fund income • Increase oil production from new or existing fields. To date, the state primarily has used three of these tools: cut spending, used reserves, and increased user fees. The more politically - difficult decisions— using Permanent Fund income or increasing taxes —are still on the table. Speak Up! It's Your Pocketbook —and Your Children's—that Will Pay to Close the Gap! There are several opportunities to offer your input into the commission's deliberations. Commission Meetings: 11 a.m. at the Anchorage Legislative Information Office (716 W. Fourth Avenue; second floor confer- ence room) at its meetings on: August 26, September 16, and September 30 • Public Hearings: At the Anchorage LIO and teleconferenced to other LIO sites around the state. If you live in a community without a LIO, call the commission's office (258-8165) to learn how to participate. All hearings will start at 7 p.m. September 11 Interior/North September 12 Southcentral September 13 Anchorage September 14 Southeast For additional information or a copy of "Alaska's Growing Fiscal Gap," contact the commission's office at 258-8165. "Fiscal Notes " is a project of the Alaska Slate Chamber of Commerce. Information is compiled and written for the State Chamber by Cheryl Frasca. It is distributed to organizations, who fax it to their members. If you get more than one copy or no longer want to receive "Fiscal Notes", contact the organizations of which you are a member.

Alaska State Chamber of Commerce IM 563-4881 EL8/25/95 08:21 AM ❑3/3 * STATE* CHAMBER OF COMMERCE I E A BUDGET UPDATE FROM THE ALASKA STATE CHAMBER • ISSUE #13 • AUGUST 21, 1995 Fiscal Planning Commission Issues Preliminary Report Documents Fiscal Gap -But No Plan Yet Proposed The Long Range Financial Planning Commission issued its preliminary report "Alaska's Growing Fiscal Gap." The commission, consisting of 15 members appointed by the Governor and Legislative leader- ship, is charged with recom- mending a five-, seven-, and ten- year plan to close the gap be- tween how much the state spends and the revenues it collects. While Alaskans who have tracked state spending issues will not find anything new in the report, it does provide useful background information about the problem, recent trends in state spending, and updated information on potential new revenues. Based on this work, the commission now must develop its recommendations on the politically -difficult task of how to actually close the gap. Of the six potential tools identified by the commission, two are politi- cally volatile —using Permanent Fund earnings to partially fund government and taxes (such as reinstituting the income tax which was repealed in 1980). The commission invites Alaskans to submit their ideas for its consideration. Public comment will be taken at hear- ings scheduled September 11-14. Its final report is due to the Legislature and Governor by October 1. How Alaska Supports its Spending Habit How the State Pays for Its Spending • The state gets 80% of the money it spends from taxes and royalties from oil production. • The price of a barrel of oil determines the amount the state gets. • This price is volatile and deter- mined by global market conditions. In the last 15 years, the price has ranged from a high of $32 per barrel to a low of $8. Based on the amount of oil now going through the pipeline, each $1 change in the price equals $120 million in annual revenues (when production was higher, a $1 change meant $150 million). • Oil production peaked in 1988 and started to decline in 1991. Just How Big is the Gap? (in million$) Current Spending 2,476.1 From oil -related severance, royalty, property, and income Current Revenues taxes From Oil Production 1,553.4 From Non -Oil Sources 221.3 From non -oil corporate Other Non -Recurring Sources 4Z 188.4 taxes, alcohol, fuel, and 1,963.1 other miscellaneous taxes Includes 70.0 from AHFC, 67.5 from Executive Life settlement, and 85.0 from user fees The Gap -APW - 513.0 Current gap is being closed by using the Constitutional Budget Reserve Fund (a non -recurring source from settlement of disputed oil and gas taxes; balance remaining is nearly $2 billion).

The population of the City of Kenai has been determined to be 7,006. If you do not agree with this figure, you may request an adjustment. A written request for a population adjustment, including supporting documentation, must be postmarked no later than November 1, 1995. The request must be supported by a method of population determination approved by this department. For municipalities with populations of less than 1,000, the department requires that a "head count" census be used. Municipalities with 1,000 or more residents may use a "head count census" or the "housing unit" method which includes specific statistical measures. The department also requires that a municipality's population determination methods be fully documented and that the governing body of the municipality pass a resolution adopting the results of the census. If you choose to request an adjustment, the enclosed booklet provides additional information on population procedures and the "housing unit" method of population determination. Those cities planning on conducting a population estimate using the "housing unit" method are strongly encouraged to contact Laura Walters before beginning any population surveys. Ms. Walters is responsible for validating acceptable statistical approaches.

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 Supply. We have a water supply problem during years of low rainfall. The recent addition of the Thompson Park Subdivision (162 lots) requires an additional water well. 5. Fire Safety and Water Pressure. The city water system study by Nelson & Associates revealed four water line loops that are needed to alleviate dead ends and provide better circulation, fire safety, and water pressure. The funds would -be used to: a. Design and construct a new well house. We have drilled many exploratory wells and have found a location between our existing well houses, to have excellent water quality and quantity. We 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 pressure/flow mechanical switches. The new system will allow us to control the water from each point as a system instead of individually. Page 2 Water System Imp. C. Design and construct water line loops.

Jeff Kohler Public Works - Gerry Allen, STP Supervisor Library - Linda McNair, Department Assistant Parks & Recreation - Bob Frates, Administrative Assistant Fire - Scott Walden, Fire Marshall This group constitutes the city's voluntary work group. I will review basic instructions, schedules and time lines and advise of my expectations for their work on Thursday, August 17. The group will be holding their own meetings to determine their meeting schedules, interviewing employees and fulfilling their product of delivering timely recommendations to the city manager so that the city manager can file a recommendation, after review by both supervisors and city manager, to the city council in December, 1995. The city manager will also be available to facilitate with the work group by providing initial direction and expectations. I also will be available for consultations with the work group. The work group has the flexibility to work within the written memo forms and guidelines to perform the tasks and to deliver timely results. Please refer to the May 26, 1995 memo to make sure that the ADA approved job descriptions are complete and turned in to Kim Howard at the city manager's office by August 30, 1995. Per the May 26, 1995 memo, the employee questionnaires and supervisor's reviews are due on October 1, 1995. The work group interviews will start on October 1 and end November 30, 1995. As pointed out in the April and May, 1995 meetings and subsequent discussions with the city council, the initial purpose of this study is to correct "glaring inequities" in the city's pay plan. The city council has given staff specific directions to continue this process and to do it right, not quick, and have the results to the city council by December, 1995. That's our charge, that's our schedule. We have got to stay on track and meet these deadlines. If any department head or employee has any comments about the directions, forms or input to provide better process or structure for the work group's task, please advise me by August 16 at 4:00 p.m. If you have any comments or questions, please advise. Thank you. cc: Mayor Williams and Council Lt.

But most Washington insid- ers don't believe the ANWR measure will derail the pend- ing budget bill since it is per- ceived as a relatively minor aspect of the budget package. "The budget might beve- toed for other reasons, and the Coastal Plain obviously will be a added lure, but a budget veto in this country is politically a very hot potato to handle, especially if you're up for election within a year," said Roger Herrera, an Arc- tic Power advisor and RDC board member. "There will certainly be a degree of pres- sure on Congress to button up the budgetary process, in- cluding all the highly contro- versial aspects that are in it." But Herrera expects the Clinton White House will do everything in its power to avoid a veto, which would not only put Coastal Plain development in jeopardy, but the administration, too. When President George Bush vetoed the budget, his popularity ratings dropped 15 percent in four days when federal salaries were not forthcoming.

The testimony was given before the Subcom- mittee on Clean Air, Wetlands. Private Prop- erty and Nuclear Safety of the Senate Envi- ronment and Public Works Committee. Chairman Faircloth, thank you for the opportunity to submit comments in support of S.851, the Wetlands Regu- latory Reform Act of 1995, and the provisions that specifically address Alaska's uniqueness. The Alaska Wetlands Coalition was formed in 1989 to work on federal regu- lations and to bring community per- spective and balance to wetlands regu- lation in Alaska. AWC strives to edu- cate policy makers and regulators about the uniqueness of Alaska and to help guide national wetlands policy in Alaska. Resolutions of supportforCongres- sional change to the wetlands regula- tory program in Alaska have been passed statewide, by the cities of Kenai. Craig, Nome, Wasilla, Fairbanks, Wrangell, the Municipality of Nenana, and the Boroughs of the Aleutians East, Sitka. Fairbanks North Star, Ketchikan Gateway, Kodiak Island and Matanuska-Susitna, and were submit- ted for the hearing record by Senator Murkowski. Just as scarcity is an overriding concern elsewhere in the nation, the sheer abundance of wetlands in Alaska is an important element which is unac- counted for in current regulatory schemes.

Writer & Editor Carl Portman According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), wetlands total 43.3 % of Alaska's surface area. What that statistic doesn't tell you is, practically speaking, unless you are on a glacier or a mountain, you are in wetlands! It's not Waterworld, but in Alaska, we live surrounded by a sea of wetlands, interspersed with millions of acres of inhospitable terrain covered by a variety of conservation designations. By any standard, a person would be hard-pressed not to find Alaska a state with substantial conserved wet- lands. Over 99% of intact historical wetlands is a formidable record. Yet Alaska faces a unique dilemma — try- ing to be part of the national solution, when we are not part of the problem. For instance, no matter how much we want to help, Alaska is not wintering habitat for migratory waterfowl. Be- sides providing resting and nesting habi- tat, Alaska also wants to allow its people to have an economy where they live, whenever possible. Wetlands are distributed most abundantly where Alaskans live, along the rivers, interior and along the coast. Some 400 miles of rail and a very lim- ited highway system serve urban Alaska, but rural Alaska relies primarily on transportation by water and air. In Alaska, every port and harbor uses wetlands and every airport is built on wetlands and fill. The facts show a variety of good reasons to treat Alaska differently in national wetlands policy: Overall development in Alaska has been minimal. - Alaska has 174,683,900 acres of wetlands intact. - More than 200 villages still reflect third world living conditions with regard to water and sewer facilities. - Much of the 44 million acres con- veyed to Alaska Natives is considered wetlands. As such, compensatory miti- gation constitutes a taking of Native lands, which were exchanged for ab- original claims in 1971 and are analo- gous to private lands in Alaska. Alaska has an outstanding conser- vation record, contributing millions of acres to the national conservation in- ventory, notably 67% of all national parks are in Alaska. Also, 90% of all national wildlife refuges and 62% of all federally -designated Wilderness areas are located in Alaska. Additionally, Alaska has unique state set -asides which protect the most valuable areas, from critical habitat designations to state Wilderness and Trustee Council land acquisitions. Some examples include: - Special protection is provided to anadromous stream corridors, from buffer zones to fishing regulations and building setbacks. Coastal salt marshes are also generally protected as critical habitat. - Riparian zones are protected b%, the Alaska Forest Practices Act, wit 66-foot buffers on private lands and 100-foot buffer zones on public lands. - The Alaska Coastal Management program spans Alaska's huge coastal zone with upland jurisdiction and con- sistency review requirements. S.851 provides the necessary tools to ensure future wetlands regulation in Alaska is commensurate with the abun- dance of wetlands, the vast wetland acres in conservation and the low his- toric loss of wetlands in Alaska. S.851 will eliminate compensatory mitigation requirements for Alaska and remove the burden of proving the "non-exist- ence" of an upland alternative. It pro- vides for the issuance of general per- mits for Alaska and for rural villages. It allows for special considerations for state and native "economic base lands." And most importantly, S.851 gives recognition to "states with substantial conserved wetlands," which not only recognizes Alaska's abundance and conservation efforts, but rewards th performance. The growing jurisdictional grasp of the 404 program and the uncertainty (Continued to page 7) Page 2 / RESOURCE REVIEW / August 1995 If you've ever had the opportunity to be a judge in the annual essay con- test sponsored by RDC, I'm sure you have been as shacked as I was to read some, if not mosxcol the entries. Words like, "destroying," 'Wiped out," "nothing left for the grandchildren" are terms commonly seen in .these essays. Don't get me wrong, I Mink children should be allowed to voice 1heir own opinion, just as adults should. But, when it is bla- tantly obvious that their opinions are a result of being exposed only to dis- torted views dispensed from one-sided environmental curriculum, it makes me sad, and then it makes me angry that, in many ways, we as parents have let this happen. Your children and mine have been inundated with irdormation on why we must preserve flee earth's resources. Until recently and by comparison, very little has been taught about the unique and critical balance between respon- sible developmental our resources and the economy. Lets face it, it's much easier for the environmentalists to prey on the minds of diase who can easily be convinced that "13zovbi" is at risk than to discuss the reality of what our resources provide and the positive effects respon- sible developmenithas on our economy. And talk about reality, within five to ten years, these ch*&en will be voting adults. I am convinced that successful pro- grams such as ANNE-REF, the Alaska Mineral and Energy Resource Educa- tion Fund, are our only way to promote a balanced understanding of the ben- efits derived from the development and use of natural resources. Representing a partnership between the state and private sector, AMEREF produces a highly -acclaimed natural resource edu- cation program to provide students with the knowledge, skffts and attitudes nec- essary to make informed decisions on resource development issues. Out of the mouths of babes At the heart of the AMEREF pro- gram is the Alaska Resources Kit. This Alaska -specific work kit, funded by businesses, industry and individuals, provides teachers with lesson plans and student activities designed to "con- nect the dots" between development and our economy. The continued popular acceptance of the AMEREF program is a strong indication of its success with teachers and students. RDC commends all of you who have donated many years of your time and the funds it has taken to keep this program alive and strong. AMEREF is building bridges of un- derstanding between teachers, students and industry. But its success in sustain- ing and improving the program depends on two factors: the willingness of volun- teers from industry and the education community to donate time and talent in updating and improving materials and secondly your support. Frankly, it is imperative that busi- ness and industry adequately fund this popular and most necessary program. Your commitment to resource educa- tion through AMEREF will help ensure that students across Alaska will be ex- posed to a balanced viewpoint. Your contribution will help AMEREF get new kits into the hands of teachers who want to provide their students with a full range of perspectives. If you have school -age children, I urge you to get involved, ask them what they are learning and talk to them about responsible resource development. If you don't like what you hear, sit down with their teachers during conference and ask them if they have been in- formed about the benefits of the AMEREF program. If not, let AMEREF or RDC know and they will take the lead. Resource education for our chil- dren in Alaska is critical and begins where most things should -- at home. Your individual and corporate sup- port will keep this program and our kids strong growing.

Those maneuvers would in- clude tagging items like ANWR onto critical bills. Language authorizing the opening of the Coastal Plain to orderly oil and gas development will be written into a budget measure next month for the 1996 fiscal year, which begins October 1. The language will come out of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, chaired by Senator Frank Murkowski, and the House Natural Re- sources Committee, led by Congressman Don Young. Earlier this summer, Congress set the stage for the ANWR measure after both the Senate and House passed major budget items counting revenues from ANWR lease sales in the federal budget. Since the President cannot line -item veto a budget measure, the best chance environmental- ists had to derail the mo- mentum for drilling was in the Senate, but that cham- ber voted 56-44 to include lease revenues in the budget. Meanwhile. Murkowski and Johnston have been working to craft provisions in the ANWR measure to give added protection for the Por- cupine caribou herd and to use a portion of ANWR lease revenues to support parks and refuges.

"It's a 220-yard race and right now we're just coming out of the last bend with just a few seconds to go until we win this thing," Herrera said. "If you feel strongly on tIr issue and you think it affec. your future and business in Alaska, you don't have much time to take action," Herrera warned. "When it's all over, look into your conscience and ask yourself if you did everything you could during the past six weeks when we were in the last 50-yard sprint to the finish." Herrera expects the House and Senate energy and natural resource com- mittees to pass the ANWR measure in September with a floor vote in both cham- bers on the budget package by the end of October. Al- though law dictates the bud- get is to be complete by Oc- tober 1, Herrera said politi- cal realities will throw it back to later in the month. But when it does finally come'? a vote, the budget requi only a 51-vote majority for passage in the Senate with no opportunity for filibuster. What should Alaskans be doing to encourage Con - Page 4 / RESOURCE REVIEW / August 1995 gress to open the Coastal Plain? Herrera suggests "zskans become more pro- ve and write a brief hand- written letter to key senators and representatives (see accompanying list) urging them to support the opening of the Coastal Plain to oil and gas exploration and de- velopment. Economic ben- efits should be stressed, Herrera advised, since Con- gress now considers ANWR an economic, budget, jobs and deficit-reduction issue. "If anything is read in an office, it's the handwritten letter, ideallyfrom a constitu- ent, but any identification one may have with a particular member is important and should be pursued," Herrera said. "Handwritten letters are an exception these days, certainly in congressional offices where 90 percent of *i correspondence are form .ters or post cards." Herrera also suggested people consider spending some time in Washington visiting their senator or congressman. Meanwhile, Arctic Power, in a coordinated effort with the State of Alaska, is hosting congres- sional tours of North Slope oil facilities and the nearby ANWR Coastal Plain throughout Au- gust. In September, teamscom- prised of well-informed Alas- kans, including RDC board members, legislators and state officials, will be visiting targeted congressional districts to brief business leaders on the benefits Alaska oil development has on their communities. A similar grass -tops effort was launched by Arctic Powers predecessor, the Alaska Coali- tion for American Energy Secu- 'ty, spearheaded by Joan .McCoy and Easy Gilbreth, and continued in the state campaign led by RDC's Becky Gay, when the issue was previously before Congress. Arctic Oil . Reserve (AOR) Facts-at-a-G lance ANWR = Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, a 19 million acre area designated by Congress in the Alaska National Interest Conservation Act (ANILCA 1980.) ANWR, roughly the size of South Carolina, spans northeast and parts of interior Alaska and consists of the following: 1. ANWR Wilderness = 8 million acres of federally -designated Wilderness not under consideration for any development. This one Wilderness area is larger than the combined size of Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Delaware, covering 40% of ANWR. 2. Arctic Oil Reserve (AOR) = the 1002 study area, 1.5 million acres reserved to be studied for its wildlife values and oil and gas potential, about 8% of ANWR. 3. The rest is general refuge lands not considered for oil development. Caribou across the arctic are vast in numbers. In 1995, the Alaska Depart- ment of Fish and Game estimates the Western Arctic herd at 450,000 animals. The Central Arctic herd has grown from 3,000 to 23,400 during the last 20 years of industrial activity at Prudhoe. The Porcupine herd numbers 152,000 animals which migrate between Alaska and Canada and are hunted by native people of both countries. - The Inupiat Eskimos live and hunt north of the Brooks Range, as they have for many generations, in what is now known as ANWR. The Eskimos continue to support onshore oil development on their own adjacent lands and in the AOR. The Gwich'in Indians traditionally live in Canada and Interior Alaska, south of the Brooks Range, with millions of Wilderness acres between them and the AOR. • More than 70% of all Alaskans favor exploration and production on AOR. Advancing technology has made the 'footprint" of arctic oil development much smaller in the last two decades. Future AOR development is estimated to encompass between 2,000 and 10,000 acres under full development. - AOR is America's best bet for an on -shore discovery of a giant "Prudhoe Bay -sized" oil and gas field in North America. AOR is 65 miles east of Pump Station One where the trans -Alaska pipeline begins. At least 250,000 jobs could be created through AOR development, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Private forecasters estimate up to 735,000 jobs could be gained by Americans from full development of a giant field. - Total North Slope production has passed the 10 billion barrel mark. Currently, Alaska accounts for approximately 25% of domestic production. In 1994, the U.S. spent $50 billion on oil imports, which accounted for 51 % of the nation's petroleum requirements. (Facts compiled by RDC for public use) August 1995 / RESOURCE REVIEW / Page 5 Editor's Note: Father Mike Hornick, a priest of the Archdio- cese ofAnchorage for26 years, was an active member of the Citizens Advisory Committee of the Alaska Land Use Council until it expired in December 1990. The Council was man- dated by the same Federal law which created ANWR. A ver- sion of the following GuestOpin- ion appeared in The Voice of the Times, August 2, 1995. Are the Porcupine cari- bou confused? They cer- tainly should be, particularly in regard to all the media reports and debate about where they have their young. So what's the big deal about where some caribou have their calves? Well, be- cause those who want no oil exploration on the coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) claim the Porcupine caribou have their calves smack dab in the middle of the "1002 area." And this coastal plain area of ANWR was set aside for possible oil development under the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA). During the late 1980s, the administration of former Alaska Governor Steve Cowper argued that this "core calving area" of the caribou was adequate ex- cuse for delaying oil explo- ration on the coastal plain of ANWR. This way the Cowper administration could officially say it supported exploration of the coastal strip, or 1002 area, yet at the same time blockade it by calling for a Porcupine caribou herd is a political pawn At Prudhoe Bay, the caribou population has increased six -fold since development began. 10-year study of the Porcu- pine caribou herd. At the time, there had already been intense study for 13 years by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, but the administration wanted a po- litically acceptable way to say "yes" when it really intended to accomplish "no." After much press cover- age promoting "the core calv- ing area." consider how em- barrassed the Cowper ad- ministration may have been when it learned the Canadi- ans had beat them to the punch. In 1984, the Cana- dian Parliament created the Northern Yukon National Park, of which the primary purpose was to protect "the herds most critical habitat and primary calving area." The chief warden of the Northern Yukon National Park, declared the primary calving area for the Porcu- pine herd was in Canada, while the Cowper adminis- tration claimed it was in the coastal plain of ANWR. Was somebody confused or just not telling the truth? About the same time Gwich'in activists such as Sara James of Arctic Village began to enter the picture. You no doubt have seen her on TV opposing exploration of the coastal plain. I find this curious because her village of 130 people is located on the south border of ANWR, on the opposite side of the Brooks Range, separated by millions of acres of roadless land from the arctic coast. The subsistence use area of the Arctic Village people reaches only as far north as the south face of the Brooks Range. Yet the coastal plain is James' concern. Environmental organi- zations have actively pro- moted and financed Sara James' and the Gwich'in Steering Committee's cause for blockading coastal plain exploration. In 1989, Sara James and seven other Gwich'in lead- ers formed what was called._ the Gwich'in Steering Cor mittee to organize oppos. tion to exploration of the coastal plain. During 1989 they operated as a project of the Alaska Conservation Foundation. Outside envi- ronmental organizations and foundations provided finan- cial backing. The Gwich'in newsletter for 1989 explained their two- fold goal for the year: sue the Department of Interior and encourage the media to re- port coastal exploration as a threat to their way of life. Gwich'in opposition to oil exploration seems a bit two- faced. Chuck Herbert, a former Alaska Commis- sionerof Natural Resources, a few years ago detailed the village's aggressive search for oil over a ten-year period (Anchorage Times,12/1/9' "The Gwich'in recrui, oil companies and collected advance royalties in their desire to develop their lands, (Continued to page 7) Page 6 / RESOURCE REVIEW / August 1995 Caribou, Arctic oil debate ... (Continued from page 6) and as recently as 1984 were still actively inviting oil com- panies to explore their res- ervation. They didn't find oil." However, they were to col- lect approximately $2 million from Rougeot Oil and Gas Corporation of Tulsa for leases. The U.S. Fish and Wild- life Service hasn't helped resolve matters either. Over the years, it has issued con- tradicting reports about the significance of the 1002 area -- depending on who hap- pens to be its boss at the time. For example, compare their September 1988 Final Comprehensive Conserva- tion Plan with their earlier January 1988 draft plan. The draft version stated that only 28 percent of the "concen- trated calving areas are within the 1002 area." Fur- thermore, the draft also noted variable use of the core area, ranging from a low of 35% in 1984 to a high of 82% in 1985. Yet the Fish and Wild- life Service's final version admits of no such significant variables. Topping all this, the agency explained that part of the Central Arctic herd uses some of the same calv- ing area as the Porcupine herd. This becomes signifi- cant through a comment made by Fairbanks BLM bi- ologist Dave Yokel in an An- chorage Daily News article (August 1992): "There is no way to biologically tell the difference between a Cen- tral Arctic and Porcupine caribou." Now if biologists can't tell the difference, then how do the poor caribou figure out which herd they belong to? Seriously, if that is true, then how can biologists mea- sure population fluctuations if they can't tell the differ- ence between the animals of those two herds? Now why would a Catho- !ic priest be interested in fol- lowing all this confusion and debate about the Porcupine caribou herd? As a former citizen advi- sor to the now defunct Alaska Land Use Council, I learned there was something less than honest in this public debate. For example, at one council meeting, the assis- tant Regional Director of the Fish and Wildlife Service ex- plained that the Canadians had drilled more than 80 wells on their side of the coastal plain. Oil companies did not find economically vi- able reserves. so they moved offshore and found what they were looking for in the Mackenzie River Delta. It wasn't until after Canada determined their equivalent of Alaska's ANWR had no oil did they deem it fit for a park for the caribou. Canada's Northern Yukon National Park, re- named Ivvavik. came into being only after it was ex- plored for oil. This is not a history that doomsayers of ANWR, including a number of Canadians officials, wish to acknowledge. As Congress begins the long -overdue national de- bate on whether to open the coastal plain for oil and gas development, all these facts should be laid on the table. The public, and the arctic caribou, deserve an honest discussion and a respon- sible public policy decision.

(Continued from page2) abounding in the ability to use wetlands, especially on private property or for community needs, is expensive and wasteful for the American people. No net loss is a "zero sum" ap- proach which in Alaska, doesn't work. It results in society's scarce dollars being spent regulating low value, abundant and/or non-traditional wetlands. And the policy actually punishes the state that has the best conservation record, which is an inappropriate public policy outcome. The problem is not only with the administration of the law, but with the law itself. Congress needs to specify which wetlands to regulate because both the administrative and judicial approach have failed to reflect common sense, predictability or balance. Eliminating low value and abundant wetlands from Sec- tion 404 requirements means that jurisdictional wetlands will become more sensible. It means the agencies will have more resources to make the permitting process more effi- cient and predictable. The AWC believes wetlands pro- grams handled at the state and local level do a good job protecting important wetlands while accommodating quality of life and community growth. The regulated community is under distress about wet- land regulation. Court decisions have added new hurdles, with lawsuits being threatened and filed. Uncertainty about the future of land use permeates discussions at the local government level, particularly in Alaska where the National Wildlife Federation is suing the Corps of Engineers over general permits right now. Wetlands reform is needed to consolidate agency re- sponsibility, to expedite routine permitting, to increase flex- ibility in the program and to provide greater predictability across the nation, not just Alaska.

Do you wish to see Alaska teachers present a balanced viewpoint on resource development issues to their students? In the face of increasing emphasis on environmental education, a more balanced and objective education program on the development and use of Alaska's natural resources can become a reality in the classroom, but only with your help! America became the strongest and wealthiest nation on earth through the development of its vast resources. Today, however, there is not much in the classroom to remind students of where things come from, or little to remind them of the industries that shape the building blocks of this nation and state. AMEREF, in cooperation with the Alaska Department of Education, coordinates a comprehensive resource education program targeting the new generation presently in school to counter distorted views dispensed in modem, one-sided "environmentally - correct„ curriculum. AMEREF is building bridges of understanding between teachers, students and Alaska's producers. It's drawing the connection between loggers and the countless homes which shelter 300 million Americans. AMEREF is challenging students to make the connection between energy resources and heat for homes and fuel for cars, jets, boats and factories that produce the products we all consume. Imagine how different things would be if students and their parents knew more about how mining and the oil industries contribute to their standard of living or about the compatibility of natural resource industries with the environment. I want to help AMEREF bridge the gap which now distances young Alaskans from their natural resource heritage. Here is my 1995 contribution to advance resource education in Alaska. $50 $100 $200 $300 $500 $750 $1,000 $1,500 $2,000 $2,500 $3,000 $5,000 $10,000 Other AMEREF desperately needs your financial support Help usl Thank you for your generosity.

Manninen, City Manager Date: September 1, 1995 RE: ARCO BUILDING On August 30 and 31 I signed, as secretary of the Economic Development District, the papers for the acquisition of the ARCO building in the city of Kenai. THE AMOUNTS PAID FOR THE ARCO BIIILDING, TOTALLING A GROSS AMOUNT OF $8670628.28, INCLUDED AS FOLLOWS: PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF THE LOAN: $369,628.28 PAID OUT OF ESCROW (EDD FUNDS) 50,000.00 CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTION TO KPO (FROM ARCO) 308,000.00 GRANT FROM KENAI PENINSULA BOROUGH 100,000.00 GRANT FROM CITY OF KENAI 40,000.00 TOTAL PROCEEDS PAID FOR BORROWER $867,628.28 A copy of the settlement statement is attached for your information. Secondly, city attorney Cary Graves and I discussed the City council's required blind second on the property and signed the papers on this on August 31. The city received a blind second, with a due -on -sale clause from KPO/EDD. The term is 0% interest for 15 years. Both the city attorney and I think this adequately protects the city's "blind" second position on this note. With the signing of this blind second, we released the city's $40,000 check to the Economic Development District as the city of Kenai's investment in the Kenai Peninsula Borough Economic Development District's business information center. The BIC is located in the city of Kenai in the old Arco complex on the northerly city limits. This is comprised of office, warehouse structure and 32 acres.

In reviewing a denial, the Mayor shall grant prequalification if the proposal conforms to the requirements of the ordinance. The Mayor shall grant the credit if the project, as completed, substantially conforms to the plans submitted for prequalification or if the Mayor determines the project conforms to the requirements of the ordinance. In reviewing an appeal requesting allowance of more costs than allowed, the Mayor shall grant the request if the verifiable costs are the same as outlined in the plans submitted for prequalification or if the Mayor determines the costs were necessarily incurred to complete the project as proposed. 5.14.030.
