This is a letter of proposal to remove beetle -killed spruce trees from
property owned by the City of Kenai by FAR NORTH FIREWOOD & TIMBER.
We are a local small business and are involved in beetle -kill removal in
other areas as well. By removing old and unsightly beetle -kill spruce trees,
we can gain for several reasons:
a) we will reduce the hazard of fire
b) removal of infested and dead trees will promote healthy growth of
non -infested trees.
c) the appearance of the property will be greatly improved.
d) no cost to the City of Kenai for the removal of dead spruce killed
by the beetles.
We propose environmentally low impact tree removal by accomplishing this
during winter months, with a minimum of 12 inches of snow depth, in order to
avoid disturbance to the area. We propose to limb all downed timber in a
central area to be agreed upon and obtain necessary permits to burn the limbs.
Attached to this letter is a borough map depicting the areas that are owned
by the City and which we would like to remove the standing dead beetle -killed
spruce.
We understand that you may be submitting this proposal to the City Council on
August 2, 1995. We appreciate your interest in this matter and should you
have any questions, please call us at 283-5272.

Publicly Funded Transportation'
Enforcement
Title II of the ADA prohibitsdiscrimination by State and Local governments in
their services, programs, or activities. It is enforced by the U.S. Department of Justice
or its designated agencies. It also requires that public transportation vehicles and
facilities to be accessible. Transportation complaints may be filed with the U.S.
Department of Transportation.
' Publicly funded transportation means transportation by bus or rail or any other conveyance other
than air travel, that provides the general public with general or special services on a regular or continuing
basis. This requirement effective October 7, 1991.
Page 1 of 4 Pages
Demand -Response Transit Systems for the General Public
1. It is discrimination for a public entity to purchase or lease a new vehicle.
for which a solicitation was made later than August 25, 1990, if the
vehicle is not accessible, unless the system, when viewed in its entirety,
provides a level of service to individuals with disabilities equivalent to the
level of service provided to the general public.
2. When viewed in its "entirety" means that when all aspects of the system
are analyzed, services are provided to individuals with disabilities in the
most integrated settings appropriate to the needs of the individual and
are equivalent to the services provided to other individuals.
Privately Funded Transit
NOTES: Providing Non -Discriminatory Service Requirements same for publicity
funded transit. Effective date for privately funded transit requirements is January 26,
1992 unless otherwise stated.
A. Private Entities Primarily in the Business of Transportation ("Private
Primarily")
1 Subiect #Q all jiIg III requirements such as eligibility criteria,
modification of policies, auxiliary aids and services, and readily
achievable barrier removal.
2. Fixed Route` -- newly purchased or leased vehicles after August
25, 1990 must be accessible.
3. Demand Responses --newly purchased or leased vehicles must
be accessible unless the system is accessible when viewed ion its
entirety.
2 Although the Senior Center may not be considered a transit system, it is important that the Kenai City
Council be aware of all the federal transportation laws.
3 This refers to any governmental unit such as the City of Kenai that purchases a vehicle for public use.
' This could be part of the Kenai Senior Center system if a regular route is taken every day for meal
delivery or passenger pick up to the center for meals.
'This is the type of system operated by the Kenai Senior Center.
Page 2 of 4 Pages
Privately Funded Transit, continued.
B. Private Entities Not Primarily in the Business of Transportation ("Private
Not Primarily")
1. Fixed Routes - Vehicle capacity over 16 -- newly purchased or
leased, vehicle must be accessible.
2. Fixed Route' - Vehicle capacity under 16 - newly purchased or
leased vehicles must be accessible unless the system is
accessible when viewed in its entirety.
3. Demand -Responses --Service must be accessible unless the
system is accessible when viewed in its entirety. Access may be
provided by sharing a vehicle with another provider, providing
portable ramps, etc.
Availability of Lift Vehicles
1. The ADA clearly states that there must be a lift or ramped vehicle
available at all times. Therefore in the event that there is an
accident, or the current vehicle is undergoing maintenance, there
is a clear violation of the ADA law.
2. Without a second wheelchair accessible vehicle, local
transportation units become exposed to system -wide non -
accessibility.
Age Discrimination and Vehicle Use
1. The Federal Civil Rights Act of 1964 as amended prohibits the
discrimination due to age under Title VII 42 U.S. Code, Section
2000 (a).
See Footnote 4.
See Footnote 4.
See Footnote 5. Additionally, there must be enough accessible vehicles to meet the demand.

Age Discrimination and Vehicle Use, continued.
2. Alaska Statutes Title 18 Health and Safety, October 1994 page 395:
Sec. 18.80.200 Purpose. (a) It is determined and declared as a matter of
legislative finding that discrimination against an inhabitant of the
state because of race, religion. color, nation origin, a g e , sex, physical
or mental disability, marital status, changes in marital status,
pregnancy, or parenthood is a matter of public concern and that this
discrimination not only threatens the rights and privileges of the
inhabitants of the state but also menaces the institutions of the state and
threatens peace, order, health, safety, and the general welfare of the state
and its inhabitants.
(b) Therefore, it is the policy of the state and the purpose of this
chapter to eliminate and prevent discrimination in employment, in
credit and financing practices, in places of public accommodation,
in the sale, lease, or rental of real property because of race, religion,
color, national origin, sex, age, physical or mental disability, marital
status, changes in marital status, pregnancy or parenthood. It is also
the policy of this state to encourage and enable physically
and mentally disabled persons to participate fully in the
social and economic life of the state and engage in remunerative
employment. It is not the purposes of this chapter to supersede laws
pertaining to child labor, the age of majority, or other age restrictions or
requirements.9 (§ 6 ch 117 SLA 1965; am § 7 ch 69 SLA 1987}
NOTES TO DECISIONS
Objective of this chapter is the elimination and prevention of discrimination in many
facets of our society, where such discrimination is based on race, religion, color,
national origin, sex age, marital status, pregnancy or parenthood.
This last sentence pertains to under age workers not to qualifications for senior citizens in a
discriminatory practice.

RE: 1995196 LIQUOR LICENSE RENEWAL
Kenai Joe's, Case No. 95-15.
I received a copy of your letter, dated July 21, 1995, notifying Roy Dale Howard the
ABC Board reconsidered their action of April 5, 1995 and agreed to reinstate his liquor
license.
The letter states in part,
...The Board had, at an earlier meeting, denied the application because a
"protest" was filed by the City of Kenai under AS O4.11.480. According to
the Board's information, the reasons for the protest have been remedied
and the protest withdrawn.
Upon reading this letter, I telephoned your office and reported that the City of Kenai
had not withdrawn its protest. I was told,
1. The Kenai Peninsula Borough had withdrawn its protest and because they
are the taxing powers, ABC withdrew the protest.
2. There was an oversight by your office in noticing the City had protested
due to water/sewer amounts owed by the applicant in addition to the taxes owed.
3. The City could again protest the renewal of the license at a future date.
Patrick L. Sharrock, Director
July 27, 1995
Page 2
Because the taxes have been brought current and previously owed water/sewer amounts
have also been brought current, I will place this matter on the agenda for the Kenai City
Council to consider at their meeting of August 2, 1995. Perhaps the matter will be
cleared up at that time. If council approves the withdrawal of our protest, I will forward
the necessary notification to your office.
I am concerned, however, about the comment made that ."...the Kenai Peninsula Borough
is the taxing power...' and because they withdrew their protest, the City's protest was
dismissed as though it was somehow secondary to the Borough's protest.
Is it the opinion of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board that because taxes, etc. are
brought current at a borough level, the local governing body's concerns are voided? A
written response would be appreciated.
Sincerely,
CITY OF KENAI

Re: Reconsideration of liquor license renewal for 1995/96; beverage dispenary
license - Kenai Joe's Case #95-15.
Dear Mr. Howard:
At its meeting of July 12, 1995 the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board took up
reconsideration of the above application. The Board had, at an earlier meeting, denied
the application because a "protest" was filed by the City of Kenai under AS O4.11.480.
According to the Board's information, the reasons for the protest have been remedied and
the protest withdrawn. Therefore, the Board delegated final approval of your renewal
application to the Director upon payment of the $200.00 fee required by 15 AAC
104.147(a)(1) which states ... (a) A licensee shall pay the following additional fee for
renewal of a license after a local governing body protests renewal under A 15 AAC
104.145(g)(1)(1) if the delinquent taxes are paid after the local governing body files a
protest with the board and before the board denies license renewal under AS
04.11.510(a), $50.00.
The board reconsidered the action it took at the April 5, 1995 meeting and agreed
to reinstate the license.
Failure to remit fees under this section within 10 days following receipt of written
notice from the director is additional grounds for the board to deny an application for
renewal.
Further proceedings are no longer necessary and are hereby terminated. If
you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our office.

particular application being protested. The board will not substitute Its judgement for
that of the local goveming body on matters of public policy that have reasonable
factual support

Leo Grasso, developer of the Assisted Living Center which will be located next to the
Senior Center, presented interior sketches of the development to the Commission.
The original plans which came before P&Z were for a single story structure. The
structure has been increased to two -stories, with a full basement to better facilitate the
area seniors. The added space will provide for a Hospice, and an Alzheimer Center.
When the complete plans are finished Mr. Grasso will bring them the plans back to
P&Z. The development will include extensive landscaping, intended to blend into the
surrounding park area. There will be roses, birch trees, and walking areas.
Construction on the project should begin in April of 1996, and take about 8 months to
complete. The center will employee about 25 people.

MOTION:
RON GOECKE MOVED FOR APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION PZ 95-38, ANGLER
ACRES PART FIVE. TERESA WERNER-QUADE SECONDED.
STAFF REPORT.
Jack La Shot noted a letter from DEC which suggested the plat approval be
contingent on the applicant obtaining approval of the water and sewer systems for the
proposed expansion. The owner wishes to remove the middle line of the existing plat
and build another home on the property. In the KMC a 40,000 s.f. minimum is
required for each prinicipal structure in the RR zone. With three dwellings on these
lots the minimum area would be 120,000 s.f. Even if the lots were combined the s.f.
would be less than 100,000 s.f. La Shot recommended if the plat was approved it be
contingent on meeting all DEC and City requirements.
Chairman Walker expressed concern that the City did not have the authority to
enforce DEC requirements.
La Shot explained that it is customary that the City provide DEC with comments
regarding whether installation agreements were required, or if additional regulations
must be met.
PUBLIC COMMENT. None.
COMMISSION DISCUSSION.
Phil Bryson said the only thing this plat was addressing was the combination of lot
lines. He did not feel this was a problem, but if another structure is added it should
meet all DEC requirements. This could be addressed on a note on the plat, or
required by the lending facility at the time of financing. Such a development would
required a Class C well.

LANDSCAPING/SITE PLAN REVIEW, VOZAR & STRAWN, LOCATED AT 929 MAIN
STREET.
STAFF COMMENT:
Jack La Shot reported the only additions were that the Historic Board had reviewed
the item the previous evening. The Board had requested that more information be
provided to P&Z such as parking and landscaping plans.
PUBLIC COMMENT:
Sandra Vozar, 929 Mission Street, passed out site plans and pictures of the cabins to
the Commission. She noted they will be retaining the natural vegetation in the area,
which is mostly lupine. A wooden boardwalk will be built between the cabins. The
existing building which was once Jahrig Electric will be turned into a restaurant, that
will serve a salmon or halibut bake. The project will be vendors that will sell Alaska
related items. These first cabins will be phase I of the project. If things work out
there will be another phase in the future.
Karen Mahurin asked if the cabins will have water and sewer and bathroom facilities.
Vozar said the cabins will all have electric, only cabins that serve food will have water
and sewer on site. One of the cabins will be a central restroom facility.
Karen Mahurin asked how many seats the restaurant will have.
Planning & Zoning Commission
July 26, 1995
Page 3
Vozar said they had spoken to Bob Springer, Building Official, and according to the
UBC formula for figuring seating per square feet of building, the restaurant could seat
approximately 100 people. This would mean 40 parking spaces would be needed.
The plan submitted had 71 parking places shown.
Kevin Walker asked Vozar if she had seen the staff comments suggesting the lot lines
be combined to facilitate the project.
Vozar said she had talked to Bob Springer about this. The developers do not wish to
combine lots at this time. All cabins will be constructed within required setbacks. if
the development is a success they may wish to remove lot lines at a later date.
Jack La Shot noted the reason for the staff recommendation was that the original
plans showed some cabins extending over lot lines. These encroachments are not
allowed under the KMC. The cabins had been positioned.to not encroach at this time.
END PUBLIC COMMENT.
COMMISSION DISCUSSION.
Karen Mahurin said she was comfortable with the plan as outlines, but did not feel
comfortable making a decision until a more detailed plan was submitted.

MOTION:
RON GOECKE MOVED FOR APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION PZ 95-37,
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR BEAVER CREEK LODGE. TERESA WERNER-
QUADE SECONDED.
STAFF REPORT.
Jack La Shot reported the original permit of the lodge was issued in 1988 and
consisted of nightly, weekly, or monthly rentals of the tri-plex. The home on the
property was used as living quarters for the owners or employees of the lodge.
The new permit would amend the permit to allow another single-family residence to be
built on the lots. This new residence would be used for living quarters for the owners
and employees of the lodge and the tri-plex and existing home would be rented.
Questions have been raised as to whether the lodge is in compliance with the original
permit, at this time.
PUBLIC COMMENT.
Jim Richardson, 1015 Angler Drive, noted the letter he had sent to the Commission
regarding the permit (attached). He asked the Commission to deny the permit.
Richardson stated the lots are very narrow in this subdivision and the extent of the
current development is very disruptive to the area. If the permit is expanded it will
increase traffic, noise, etc.
Richardson noted the brochure attached to his letter, and stated there are presently
five guides working from the lodge. He asked that the lodge be limited to three
guides, which would facilitate the amount of rentals in the tri-plex. Also, the septic
system is inadequate for the development. The system must be pumped at least once
a week. If the permit is approved he asked that appropriate DEC requirements be
required.
Planning & Zoning Commission
July 26, 1995
Page 6
Bill Bryant, stated he did not reside next to the property in question. He said this was
zoned as a residential area and limits need to be put on these types of developments.
He echoed the concerns of Jim Richardson and asked the Commission to curtail
similar activities in the area.
Ron Goecke asked if Bryant was affected by the traffic from this development.
Bryant said he was not affected by vehicular traffic, but the guide boats utilizing the
river is a problem.
Gordan Sledge, said that traffic on Angler Drive is so heavy that the road is very hard
to maintain. In is constantly in need of grading. The tourists are not respectful of the
residents, they have actually come into his yard and picked flowers. Some of the
guides are his friends, but the tourists create a problem for the area.
END PUBLIC COMMENT.
COMMISSION DISCUSSION.
Teresa Wemer-Quads said how can we expect to help protect the Kenai river when
evidence of no current DEC permits are in place? She said she couldn't as a member
of P8Z approve living accommodations in excess of adequate water and waste water
accommodations.
Karen Mahurin noted several concerns she had with the permit. The septic system is
presently inadequate, with high tides there is pollution to Beaver Creek. Also, the
lodge is creating a conflict between residences and the commercial development. It
also appears the lodge is in violation of what was initially approved in this area.
Mahurin stated she would be voting no on this permit.
Phil Bryson felt this item was different from the plat approval. The proposed
expansion would create further problems with waste disposal.
AMENDED MOTION:
PHIL BRYSON MOVED TO AMEND MOTION TO MAKE IT CONDITIONAL ON THE
CITY OF KENAI RECEIVING ASSURANCE THAT WASTE AND WATER SYSTEMS
CONFORM TO DEC REQUIREMENTS. KAREN MAHURIN SECONDED.

Karen Mahurin asked for clarification, on the motion. She asked Bryson if the DEC
report shows systems are okay, would he be okay with the permit.
Phil Bryson, said "no", he would not be satisfied with just a letter systems were
appropriate. The City would have to be assured systems were in compliance.
Jack La Shot noted the City does not get involved with on -site conformance.
PUBLIC COMMENT ON AMENDED MOTION.
Jim Richardson, expressed concerns that the other items he had outlined, would not
be addressed, just the water and sewer systems, if the permit was approved.

requirements.

Phil Bryson voiced concerns that this development is exceeding the intent of the
original CUP. This is not a situation that is compatible with a single-family
neighborhood.
Chairman Walker felt this area was what the Recreation Zone (R) was created for.
But the R is not now utilized. When the zone is utilized this type of development
should continue to be allowed by CUP.

The Kenai Beach area is open to dipnetting. The plan established at a recent

sensitive area.
The EDD is drafting a plan for a covered ice rink. The City is considering a bond
issue for development of such a facility. A bond issue is also being considered for the
Library expansion.
Ron Goecke expressed concern that the City had given money to the EDD for an
office and Business Incubation Center. As a small businessman he felt it was unfair
that tax payer's money would go to support such a development.
Karen Mahurin asked if a decision had been made on the DeWayne Benton.

The following comments are offered as a result of your query as a KRSMA board
representive. Your concerns revolve around wastewater systems and wells relative to a
proposed City of Kenai conditional use permit to expand facilities at Beaver Creek Lodge.
1). Separation from septic systems to bodies of water is 100"
2). Systems in the area are known to have failed systems and now required pumping.
3). The well serving this facility is listed on the state data base as a class 'C" which does
not serve more than 25 people more than 60 days a year.
ADEC would suggest a condition of approval based upon obtaining approval of the water
and sewer systems for the proposed expansion.

Re: Comments on amending an existing conditional use permit for Beaver Creek Lodge
Dear Commission Members:
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this proposed application for the Beaver Creek
Lodge. As an adjacent property owner, I urge the Planning and Zoning Commission to deny the
application as it has been presented. As outlined below, I believe approval of this permit will be
extremely detrimental to the neighbors and the subdivision. The current operation of the business
appears to violate the conditional use permit issued by the Planning and Zoning Commission in
1988.
The discussion below outlines how I believe the current and proposed business operation on this
property is not consistent with the City of Kenai municipal code.
The Concept of Conditional Use
When my wife were considering purchasing our property along Beaver Creek (the summer of
1988) I talked with a staff member of the Planning Department with the City of Kenai to find out
what conditional uses were being permitted in the area. The response I received was that the City
was allowing property owners to engage in operation of a small business from their property
along Beaver Creek. The example given to me was a property owner who wanted to guide on the
Kenai River. Another example given to me back in 1988 was to allow resident property owners
to operate a bed and breakfast in their home.
The Beaver Creek Lodge is at the opposite end of the spectrum of use from the conditional use
home business described above. It appears to be purely a commercial interest, with no
involvement by the property owners other than through an economic arrangement (a lease I
believe) with the operator of the Beaver Creek Lodge. The brochure for the lodge (attached)
refers to " Captain Bligh's Beaver Creek Lodge". Captain Bligh refers to Clint Coligan, who is
not the owner of the property.
Current Operation of the Beaver Creek Lodge
In 1988, the Planning and Zoning Commission approved a conditional use permit for the Beaver
Creek Lodge to rent lodging within their triplex, book tourist activities and use the dock by
agencies other than the owners. Resolution No. 88-17 by the Planning and Zoning Commission is
clear in stating that the business being operated at Beaver Creek Lodge is that of a booking
service. It states that any change in the nature of the business will require the owners return to
comments to Planning and Zoning Commission, page 2
the Commission". The discussion of the Commission members indicates that the conditional use
permit did not include operation of guides from the property.
I have attached a copy of the current brochure for the Beaver Creek Lodge. You will note that
on the first page of the brochure they offer 5 units (not the three units of the triplex), and that
guided fishing is the predominant service offered. Clint Coligan has told neighbors that he leases
out rooms in the three bedroom house as well as the triplex. I presume that is where the
advertised additional two rooms come from. This is in violation of the current conditional use
permit.
There are currently five guide boats operating out of the dock on the Beaver Creek Lodge. These

It certainly does not appear as if the Beaver Creek Lodge is operating within its conditional use
permit issued in 1988.
Impacts to the neighbors and the subdivision
The lots along the Angler Acres subdivision are very long and narrow, only around 100 feet wide.
This places adjacent and nearby neighbors in very close contact, about the same as an urban
subdivision. The amount of noise and disturbance that results from the current operation of the
Beaver Creek lodge constantly disturbs neighbors late into the evening and very early in the
morning through road traffic, parking, guests/guide clients arriving and departing and the number
of overnight guests. Both neighbors to the north have had several instances of Beaver Creek
Lodge clients wandering through their property. The density and frequency of activity on this
property is not suitable for lots of this size.
Please imagine how you would react if your next door neighbor had five units of overnight guests
every night, perhaps a total of 15 people. Add to this the commotion created at 5:30 AM every
morning in the parking lot with the arrival of five guides, with four clients per boat (another 20
people) also arriving. Add a second afternoon shift of guided clients (another 20 people). Finally
add one or two additional staff for the lodge, and you get a total of up to perhaps 40 to 57 people
coming, going and staying at the lodge. As one might well imagine, there can be considerable
noise and disturbance from all of the activity related to this level of use. This is not appropriate
comments to Planning and Zoning Commission, page 3
for a residential neighborhood.
Other impacts to the subdivision include adding a high level of traffic to the road, creating poor
road conditions virtually all summer. There is a visual impact to the subdivision neighbors from
the creation of a parking lot on the property, sufficient to handle all of the vehicles coming and
going.
Other Problems
In water quality studies conducted in recent years, Beaver Creek has been among the top problem
areas within the Kenai drainage. Fecal coliform counts in Beaver Creek are sufficiently high to
prevent contact water recreation during portions of the year. The current septic system utilized
by the Beaver Creek Lodge is not functioning properly and is probably not adequate to meet
Department of Environmental Conservation septic system setbacks if it were properly designed
and operating. I am basing my opinion on their septic system on the comments of a septic system
contractor and my observations that they have to pump out the existing septic system more than
once per week. This would seem to indicate a failed system. For the current and requested level
of commercial use by this business, a Class C or Class B setback (150 to 200 feet) from any
drinking water source is required. Given the narrow nature of the lots in the subdivision, it seems
unlikely that this setback requirement is being met. I have discussed this with the Soldotna
Department of Environmental Conservation field investigator, and am concerned about the
potential contamination of neighboring wells. I would ask the Commission to request an
engineers report on the water and septic system being used in this business before considering any
additional uses.
Inconsistency of Current Operation and Additional Permit Request with City of Kenai Ordinance
The current operation of the Beaver Creek Lodge appears to be inconsistent with several parts of
Kenai Municipal Code 14.20.080
14.20.080(1)(i) preserve the rural, open quality of the environment. The development of the
business in its current state has required a great deal of development and construction of a large
parking lot. Additional construction, effectively blocking almost the entire Beaver Creek frontage
with three large buildings will not be consistent with preserving the rural, open quality of the
neighborhood.
14.20.080(1)(ii) prevent health hazards in areas not served by public water and sewer. As
noted above, there are serious questions about the current water and sewer system being used by
this business, let along any additional uses.
14.20.080(2)(i) violate the residential character of the environment. Construction of yet
another large building on these two small lots will be inconsistent with residential character. It
would create a high density block across the entire property. This subdivision has the potential to
comments to Planning and Zoning Commission, page 4
be one of the nicest neighborhoods in Kenai. Two property owners several lots up Beaver Creek
have recently completed new large homes. There are two single family dwellings on the directly
adjacent properties to the north and directly to the south. Most other residents of the area are
doing what they can to keep the neighborhood attractive.
14.20.080(2)(ii) generate heavy traffic in residential areas. As discussed above the operation
of this business creates a great deal of automobile traffic. Using the total use estimate noted
above of 40 to 57 people probably creates daily traffic of 17 to 25 vehicles.
Summary and Suggestions
From my perspective, it appears clear that the current operation of the Beaver Creek Lodge is in
violation of the conditional use permit issued by the Planning and Zoning Commission in 1988.
The nature of the business, the level of use, the commercial use of the house on the property, the
number of guides using the property and traffic created by the operation of the business varies
considerably from the permit. It makes no sense to further aggravate the problem by allowing
additional use.
I would ask the Planning and Zoning Commission to deny the requested permit, thereby not
allowing expansion of commercial lodging beyond the triplex. The expressed desire of the
property owner for a place to stay should then be accommodated by using the existing home on
the property, and eliminate the need for a third large building on the property. Given the past
record of the property owner and the operator of the business, the City of Kenai and the
subdivision neighbors could not be reasonably assured that the new requested building would not
also be used for commercial purposes.
I would also request that the Planning and Zoning Commission place some conditions on the
operation and use of the business. As noted above, the sole purpose of the business as advertised
in their brochure is lodging and guiding, with the operator, Clint Coligan (Captain Bligh) as the
principal guide. The guide use was not permitted in the 1988 conditional use permit. I would
request that the Commission place a maximum limit on the number of guides operating from the
property. I would suggest the number of three guides, which would cover the number of units in
the triplex.
Further, I would request that the Commission look into placing additional conditions on the use of
the business to reduce the conflicts with adjacent neighbors. These conditions would include a
privacy fence, and a limit of the number of vehicles to be parked on the property. As requested in
the application, it does not appear that either the owners nor the business operator would be on
site to manage the facility. That situation invites conflicts between guests and neighbors and
should not be allowed.
I appreciate the opportunity to comment on this application. We purchased our property because
of the unique beauty of the area. We spend much of our summer and fall there and hope to make
comments to Planning and Zoning Commission, page 5
it our permanent home in a few years. We have believed in good faith that the City of Kenai will
enforce its zoning ordinances to keep from degrading the area and creating constant disturbances
to property owners. I will be at the pubic hearing on July 25th and will be happy to discuss any of
these points with Commission members at that time.
Thank you.

5. HISTORIC BOARD REVIEW
a. Development in TSH - Vozar & Strawn - 929 Mission Street
Sandra Vozar, presented the Board with a handout of a siteplan of the proposed
development. She explained the Vozars and Strawns had purchased lots 5-7, 15 &
16, and 18-20 in Old Town. They wished to place 15 small cabins (20 X 20) on this
property and lease them to vendors during the summer months. The existing building,
which was formally Jahrig's Electric, would be remodelled and possibly contain a
halibut/salmon bake. All buildings would have electricity, and the boardwalks between
the cabins will be handicap accessible.
Historic District Board
July 25, 1995
Page 1
Vozar said the developers had discussed naming the different cabins after pioneer
families that settled the area. If this would be offensive to anyone, perhaps plaques
could be erected that would tell about the history of the area. The cabins will be 2 or
3 sided log, so they will not look exactly alike. The developers did not want a
development similar to the Homer Spit. The City had recommended the lots be
combined to facilitate the development, but they do not wish to combine the lots, at
this time. They are hoping to develop this village in stages, so the cabins will be
within the present lot lines.
The vendors would be asked to keep an Alaskan theme in the products they offer.
The name of the development will be Old Town Village. It will be a first class
development that will benefit the City. There are more and more tourists coming to
the area and they are looking for something to do. This will give the tourists a nice
place to visit and spend time in Kenai.
Wanda Carlson expressed concern that this village might impact the larger businesses
in the area.
Sandra Vozar said the idea would be that the larger businesses could have smaller
offices in the cabins, like a satellite station for the main office. She hoped to attract,
booking agencies, ice cream shops, food vendors, etc.
Dorothy Gray noted that when reviewing these developments, a landscaping/site plan
should be submitted to the Historic Board. She did not have a problem with the
development, but was concerned the Board not rule on this item, until all items
required by the Kenai Municipal Code (KMC) were submitted. Gray was also
concerned there were not enough parking spaces available at the site.
Vozar responded she felt the parking requirements would be adequately met, when
the final plan is submitted for the building permit. As far as landscaping, natural
vegetation will be utilized. There is a lot of lupine in this area, and other wildflowers
would be integrated into the plan.
Kim Booth asked how Vozar & Strawn proposed to keep the area from looking like the
Homer Spit development.
Vozar replied the contract would be very specific about what is allowed. All tenants
will be charged a grounds fee, so maintenance will be done on a regular basis, by a
hired person.
Shirley Hatch, co-owner of the Burger Bus testified she felt this would be a wonderful
addition to the area. There are lots of tourists coming into Kenai, but they need an
attraction to keep them in the area.
Jodi Wilson, co-owner of the Burger Bus, said tourism will continue to grow in Kenai.
Historic District Board
July 25, 1995
Page 2
This will be a wonderful development which will give people something to do while
visiting the area. It would create jobs for the community, which is always needed.
Chairperson Gray said she was not comfortable dealing with the issue until the criteria
as outlined in 14.25 was presented to the Board.
Sandra Vozar explained that at this point in the process they were only looking for
conceptual approval. They wanted to see if the City would support such a project.
They are willing to work with all entities to develop an area which will be of greatest
benefit to everyone in the community.
Michael Hundorf said he felt a little pensive about the development. He was
concerned that a commercial development would not necessarily protect the historical
values of the community. He thought if it could be developed with the idea of
educating people about local history, this would be good.
Kim Booth agreed and felt the developers should work closely with the Kenaitze Tribe
and Church in developing educational themes, and interpretative signs that would give
a history of what existed in the area. Perhaps a large static display could be
developed.
Vozar agreed they would like the area to include sculptures, that have to do with
Alaska history, fishing, etc.
MOTION:
ROGER MEEKS MOVED TO ACCEPT THE PLAN WITH PROVISION THAT IT
SATISFY ALL CITY ORDINANCES THAT ARE PERTINENT IN THE TSH ZONE, AND
THAT THESE ITEMS BE PROVIDED FOR THE PLANNING AND ZONING MEETING
OF JULY 26. WANDA CARLSON SECONDED.
VOTE:
4- YES 1- NO: MOTION PASSED BY MAJORITY VOTE.
Chairperson Gray said she liked the concept of the Alaska village theme, and hoped
the developers would maintain that. She had heard many tourists say they enjoyed
the non-commercial aspect of the Old town area. She liked the idea of log cabins,
and incorporating history by signage, etc. into the development.

6. NEW BUSINESS
a. Survey - Pre -Conference, Set Date
Loretta Harvey reported the consultants were still trying to obtain General Liability
Insurance before signing the contract. As soon as the contract is signed a meeting
will be scheduled.
b. Accepting Resignation - Rose Ann Murphy
The Board officially accepted Rose Ann Murphy's resignation. Chairperson Gray
noted there were still two positions available on the Board.
7. OLD BUSINESS
a. Preservation Plan
Board members reported they were still working on their portion of the plan.
b. Mission Street Project Update
Chairperson Gray reported she had spoken to Keith Komelis, Public Works Director
about setting a public hearing on the project. Kornelis said he was working on this.
Gray requested this item be continued to the next agenda so the Board could discuss
their ideas, before the public hearing.
C. Walk Through Shkituk' Interpretative Site
This was cancelled due to a sudden downpour. Chairperson Gray said the street
crew had done an excellent job at the site, and they had driven spikes through the
poles to keep people from moving them back and driving onto the property.

ITEM B: SCHEDULED PUBLIC COMMENT
B-1. Leo Grasso, Vice Pros., The Continuum Corporation
John Verdugo, CEO The Continuum Corporation
Lynn Robbins, President, Robbins Retirement Communities
- Assisted Living Complex Update.
Moved to after Public Hearings.
B-2. Carl Haller - Sewer/Water/Assessment Concerns.
Mr. Haller reported when the sewer/water was placed in his area,
he was not hooked up, although he paid for the service for
approximately ten years. His ex-wife was building a new dance
studio and a hole was left for her to hook up.
Building Office Hackney came to him one time regarding the
removal of a trailer from his property. While there, Haller
asked him where his water/sewer hook-up was. They found he was
not hooked up, however he was paying the fees.
Haller has discussed the matter with "the powers that be." He
was told he could not be reimbursed for the payments he made for
water/sewer he was not hooked up to. He is hoping those amounts
could be traded for the paving assessments he owes as he is
having trouble making those payments.
Finance Director Brown explained he did not know much about the
situation. He is aware of a dispute from many years ago. When
that situation was brought to their attention, and Haller should
not have been charged, they stopped charging. There has been
correspondence. Haller has been unsuccessful in being reimbursed
for back payments made.
Brown referred to the ordinance mandating all within 200 feet of
water/sewer to be hooked up. Now Haller has paving assessments
also. Instead of being reimbursed for payments made, Haller
would like to apply that money to his paving assessments. Brown

added, the two matters have nothing to do with each other. They
are different funds. One cannot offset the other. More research
needs to be done.
Williams asked Haller if any provisions were made to connect him
when the water and sewer were put in the area. Haller answered
no.
Kornelis stated he was not sure if the services lines were put
in. Many times they were not placed if there was no paving put
in. Kornelis continued, originally the ordinance required the
property owner, regardless of whether he was hooked up or not, to
pay. That ordinance was changed to require property owners to
hook up and pay if the property is within 200 feet of water/sewer
lines.
Councilman Measles suggested Administration research the matter
and bring it back to council for review. Williams added, they
should make a determination of whether there are service stubs.
Williams told Haller, they did not know if the payments could be
manipulated. Perhaps payment could be delayed long enough to let
him get in financial condition to pay it.
Williams requested Administration to review the matter.
Councilman Smalley requested Administration find out what the
code required at the time as well.
ITEM Cs PUBLIC HEARINGS
C-1. ordinance No. 1655-95 - Authorizing the Appropriation
of $76,000 in the Boating Facility Enterprise Fund for
a Dock Access Ramp.
MOTION:
Councilman Bookey MOVED for approval of Ordinance No. 1655-95 and
Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion.
There were no public comments.
Councilman Measles asked if they were reappropriating monies
because they were not used in 1995 budget year and now are to be
used in the 1996 budget year? Public Works Director Kornelis
answered there was $60,000 in last year's budget. The bid came
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
JULY 19, 1995
PAGE 4
in higher and the money lapsed (end of budget year). The
resolution is to reappropriate the money, adding $15,000.
Kornelis added, he plans to award the contract during this
meeting and installation will be done after the fishing season
has ended. The dock will be ready for use next year.
Kornelis also reported the Harbor Commission discussed the matter
and suggested the placement. They felt it was a safety issue.
Persons using the dock will have better accessibility. The
placement of the dock was listed on the Harbor Commission's goals
and objectives list.
C-2. Resolution No. 95-37 - The City Council Expresses Its
Intention, Subject to Appropriation of Money, to
Contribute $100,000 to the Economic Development
District, Inc. (EDD) for the Acquisition of the ARCO
Warehouse and Office Complex in Kenai.
C-2a. Remove from table.
MOTION:
Councilman Smalley MOVED to remove Resolution No. 95-37 (C-2a)
from the table and Councilman Bookey SECONDED the motion. There
were no objections. SO ORDERED.
c-2b. Motion to substitute.
MOTION:
Councilman Smalley MOVED for the substitution of Resolution No.
95-37 (identified as C-2a) with Resolution No. 95-37 (identified
as C-2b). Councilman Measles SECONDED the motion.
C-2c. Consideration of substitute resolution.
Councilman Measles asked what the difference was between the two
resolutions, other than the date. It was explained the second
"whereas" was different, stating "...the Kenai Peninsula Borough
Assembly, at their July 11, 1995 meeting, appropriated
$100,000...
Measles noted the paragraph still stated, "...pending approval by
the assembly authorizing the Mayor..." Williams stated the
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
JULY 19, 1995
PAGE 5
Assembly had authorized the agreement to disperse the funds.
Measles also noted the "Now, therefore" paragraph stated the
exact same information as in C-2a.
Smalley added it sounded that the Borough approved the money, but
it is still pending. Williams stated he understood what Smalley
and Measles were saying, that the resolution is pending approval
by the Assembly, authorizing the mayor to execute the agreement.
It would appear that the Borough Assembly appropriated the money
at the previous meeting. Once they have appropriated it, did
they need to approve authorization for the mayor to distribute
the funds?
Measles stated he thought it was the way it was rewritten because
C-2a also said "Kenai Peninsula Borough has appropriated $100,000
pending approval by the Assembly." So, its saying the exact
same thing, except the date and "at their July 11, 1995 meeting"
was typed in.
Williams asked Assemblymember Tim Navarre (present in the
audience) to speak to the matter as to the direction the Assembly
took. Navarre reviewed the resolution and stated he was not sure
he understood the question. However, Navarre added, the Assembly
did pass a budget ordinance in which $100,000 was placed in the
budget. A rider was attached to it which was contingent upon the
Assembly's approval before the $100,000 could be spent. The
$250,000 which they normally give to the EDD was not tied to
that. When the ordinance was passed, the money could be
dispersed as of July 1, 1995. The additional $100,000 was per
Assembly approval, which did happen on July 11.
Navarre added, as far as how the City has the whereas written, it
is not the Borough's ordinance. In their documents there is no
misunderstanding. The original ordinance document at budget time
was the June 6 meeting, passed the budget by ordinance which
included the $100,000 for the EDD building but it was contingent
upon a resolution coming back before the Assembly for approval
because there was some question and some discussion as to payment
in lieu of taxes and other concerns. All of those were either
addressed or voiced and then the item did pass at the July 11
meeting with no stipulations to the $100,000. It is not in the
City's regulations, but they have community exemption.
Williams asked if that cleared up the questions for Council.
Councilman Measles stated he understood, but the resolution
required some amendment.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
JULY 19, 1995
PAGE 6
MOTION:
Councilman Measles MOVED to amend Resolution No. 95-37 in the
second whereas, by deleting "pending approval by the assembly"
and inserting "and," change "authorizing" to "authorized." The
whereas would then read,
Whereas, the Kenai Peninsula Borough
Assembly, at their July 11, 1995 meeting
appropriated $100,000 as a matching grant to
the EDD for the purpose of acquiring the ARCO
office complex in Kenai and authorized the
mayor to execute an agreement and disburse
funds.
Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion. There were no objections
to the amendment. SO ORDERED.
Mayor Williams asked if there was any public comment on the
resolution.
James A. Elson - 1530 Kittiwake, Kenai. Elson introduced himself
as the chairman of the Economic Development District and a long-
time resident of the City of Kenai. Elson first commended the
Council and Administration (in recent years) for their excellent
stewardship of the city.
Elson requested the Council and Administration to look at the
donation of the $100,000 (for the Business Innovation Center
{BIC}) as an investment instead of a donation. They hope the BIC
will have many years of service to the city. They expect it will
produce clients which will diversify the tax base, continue to
broaden the tax base and bring a return to the city. He added he
did not know what return would come to the city as they don't
know for sure where those businesses will locate, but they feel
the majority will locate within the Kenai market area.
Elson added, the city, through its stewardship has maintained a
beautiful city and a healthy reserve fund. He believes this
project should not be considered in lieu of other projects. It
shouldn't be placed in competition with other priorities of the
city. He believes the project should stand on its own merits,
i.e. as an investment to the city, bringing a return back to the
city and benefit all the taxpayers of the city.

Barbara Waters - Resides at 311 Kulila, Kenai. Waters called
council's attention to the letter, included in the packet,
written to Mayor Williams from Mr. Elson. Waters referred to the
final paragraph which read, "Also, the Board (EDD) asks the City
Council not to rule out creative alternatives should the EDD's
current approach to purchase not prove successful."
Waters stated she was concerned with that statement. She asked,
if the EDD's purchase was not successful, what would happen to
the city's $100,000 donation? Would it go back into city coffers
or would it become the donation they have asked not to look at it
as? Is it an investment for a certain thing? If the purchase
does not go through, what will the city council do about the
$100,000 donation?
Williams answered, if the resolution passes as written, the
resolution is for the acquisition of the warehouse and office
complex. Should that project not take place and the purchase not
be completed, the City of Kenai would expect the money to be
returned to it. The authorization is strictly for the
acquisition of the building.
Tim Navarre - Reported that when the Assembly was discussing the
matter, he spoke with Borough Finance Director Ross Kinney.
Because the EDD is a non-areawide service, the monies for the
building will come from non-areawide funds. Those funds are
received through revenue sharing and fish tax. The monies are
not from areawide tax monies. Also, the Assembly has had to
defend the EDD during budget sessions, etc. and have appropriated
$250,000 to them for the last five years. In all, approximately
$1.2 million. He believes they have demonstrated that the EDD is
an investment. He feels the city will receive an investment back
from their work as well. The EDD has and will continue to help
all the communities as well. Navarre added he hoped the city
will become a partner with EDD.
Stan Steadman - Steadman stated that when he last appeared before
council in regard to the donation, he reported to council that he
was going to Washington, D.C. to make a presentation as a
finalist for the Youth Enterprise Development Project (a
partnership with Boys & Girls Club and other organizations).
They were selected as one of six national winners by the Ford
Foundation Award. Steadman added he hoped the council would get
in the spirit of partnership and go forward and get involved in
this BIC project.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
JULY 19, 1995
PAGE 8
Also, it has been a question of whether it would be appropriate
for the city to get involved in a borough -wide project with this
investment. They recognize that the primary benefit of the
project will occur to the City of Kenai. They plan to have
satellite offices (incubators) into other Peninsula communities
as well. Seward has already donated space and provided support
services to establish an office there.
Councilwoman Monfor congratulated Steadman on their award and
added that she appreciated his comments about the "spirit of
partnership." Monfor added, before the meeting, she was not
going to support the donation. She could not support $100,000
and still could not. But, in the spirit of partnership, she
could support $30,000 in hopes that the other cities, who will
also reap benefits from the project, and have already reaped
benefits (Homer, Seward and Soldotna), could also get into the
"spirit of partnership" and donate to the project as well.
Monfor explained she suggested $30,000 because Kenai is the
largest city on the Peninsula. Monfor added, they could see what
could be done with all those cities working together for the
betterment of the whole Peninsula.
Monfor referred to Elson's remarks regarding priorities. One of
her concerns with this project is that she feels the city has
some priorities which the council has not funded. Before they
fund the EDD project, council needs to look at their own
priorities. Monfor stated she had no problem with the EDD and
supports the incubator program 100%.
Councilman Bookey agreed with Monfor's comments. Bookey added,
he also came to the meeting thinking he would vote no on the
project as he believes the purchase should be a partnership. He
believes the other communities should be involved and the cost
should not be just the city of Kenails.
Councilman Bannock stated he agreed with Mr. Elson and hopes that
his goals are realized in the EDD and incubator center. However,
he did not feel the use of public funds should be used to help
purchase the building, i.e. using public money for private use.
Bannock stated he would vote against the resolution.
Councilman Measles asked representatives of EDD if failure to
receive the $100,000 would seriously jeopardize the financing for
the acquisition of the building. Assemblyman Navarre stated the
purchase would go through with the present $100,000 pledge from
the Borough. Navarre added, a donation from the City would show
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
JULY 19, 1995
PAGE 9
community support. With the City's money, they can match federal
dollars. Also, with a partnership, they could go forward to the
other cities and continue to get their support as well. Navarre
added, not receiving the $100,000 will not kill the purchase.
Mayor Williams stated the EDD is an organization the City of
Kenai helped to form. He believed the city could well -afford to
donate the $100,000 and should be able to donate the money and
not, in any way, interfere with anything else the city is doing.
It is not that the City cannot afford the donation but whether
council believes in future economic development to the city.
Because of the downturn in State funding, the city needs to
diversify or there may be massive taxation. The $100,000 is an
investment in the future for the city and the Peninsula.
Williams asked the council to consider the entire $100,000
investment.
Williams suggested if council is concerned about what would
happen with the $100,000 should the EDD dissolve, the city could
tie a blind second to the deal to insure that the $100,000 would
be returned. He spoke with a bank about this and found it could
be done and could be worked out between the attorneys. Williams
requested council consider very strongly the economic future of
the city and the economic benefits that will come from the BIC.

MOTION TO AMEND:
Councilwoman Monfor MOVED to amend the resolution (in the opening
paragraph) to state "...to contribute $40,000 to the Economic
Development District...11 and in the "Now, therefore" paragraph,
to read,
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
JULY 19, 1995
PAGE 10
..that the City Council expresses its
intention, subject to appropriation of money,
to contribute $40,000 to the Economic
Development District, Inc. for the
acquisition of the ARCO warehouse and office
complex in Kenai, and in the spirit of
partnership with the EDD, we hope to
encourage our sister cities of Soldotna,
Homer and Seward to share in this acquisition
at $20,000 each.
Williams asked Attorney Graves if the resolution had to be re-
introduced because it was reconsidered. Attorney Graves answered
no, the reconsideration was approved by unanimous consent and
would be voting on the reconsideration as amended. Votes on the
amendments must take place first.
Measles asked to add to the amendment another whereas that points
out the benefits of the other cities derive from EDD.
Measles noted he had no concern of what would happen to the
$100,000 if the deal does not go through. He felt it was covered
well enough in the resolution, but it could also be covered in
the appropriation ordinance. If the sale does not go through,
the money is earmarked for a specific purpose. Measles added, he
really did not have a concern about the $100,000, but did have
concerns that the other communities derive a benefit from EDD and
no one else is offering to put money into the project.
Councilman Measles SECONDED the motion to amend.
Councilman Smalley asked where the blind second verbiage would be
included? Graves answered that if that is what council wants,
when the money is appropriated, etc. it could be done then. He
would have to talk with the bank to see how amenable they are to
doing a blind second and work out the details. Graves stated he
would speak with the banker if council wants to do it that way.
Smalley stated he believed it was worthy of investigating because
it is public money.
Williams stated he spoke with the banker about it and was told
they would have no objections.

PAGE 13
Lynn Robbins - Ms. Robbins explained her company, Robbins
Retirement Communities, is a franchise that helps communities
develop retirement communities. They have a variety of
retirement communities they assist to build and have a
professional staff that develops the blueprints, works with the
design, works with the city and state planning and zoning, etc.
They will bring their professional staff to Kenai to hire local
community residents. All the people running the facility will be
from the Kenai area.
Robbins presented slides of facilities now in operation. Robbins
stated they emphasize a home -like, comfortable look for their
facilities. A slide depicting a model of the Kenai facility was
part of the presentation. Their initial plan was for a single -
story facility. However, in developing a market and feasibility
study, they found the Kenai facility could be a two-story
building, offering 60 units.
They want the facility to complement the congregate housing and
the Kenai Senior Center. They want to keep the residential
nature of the community and complex. They do not want it to look
commercial or industrial in any way. The exterior of the
facility will be wood like the Senior Center. They hope to start
construction as early in the spring as possible.
This facility will be a life -care community, designed to allow
people to age in place regardless of how they age, the types of
services, required, etc. Staff would include 25 full-time
employees, 15 part-time employees. Local community residents
would be hired. An intensive training program would be required
to be taken.
They also hope to add to the facility by developing a condominium
complex on the back area of the property. Those purchasing a
condominium would have all the services offered through the
central care facility. It would then be a total care community
with the congregate housing, Senior Center (and their support
services), along with the individual condominiums and the
assisted living facility.

Councilman Bannock reported the minutes of the meeting were
included in the packet. Councilman Smalley was out of town and
Bannock attended the meeting for him. Bannock also reported the
livestock resolution, brought to the Commission by request of
council, failed. Bannock added, the Commission had concerns
about the enforcement of the ordinance and that instead of the
size of animals allowed being determined by the zone, it should
be by the parcel size, and list the animals allowed or not
allowed.
Councilman Smalley noted he brought the resolution forward due to
requests of constituents. The Commission had discussed the
matter in the past and talked about different lot sizes or
allowing livestock by conditional use. Smalley added, he
believes the matter will come back again in the very near future.

before council and the attorney reviewed it. There were no
comments or questions the staff had. Manninen added, it would be
a council decision whether they want to approve the assignment or
not.
Williams asked Attorney Graves his opinion of an assignment to a
family limited partnership, and who will be the general partners.
Graves stated he understood that Dick Morgan would be the general
partner. The documents are estate planning devices wherein Dick
Morgan transfers the leasehold interest to himself, dividing that
equally between he and his wife. Both those undivided halves are
then transferred to the limited partnership for estate planning.
Graves noted also that Dick Morgan is signing individually.
Williams asked if Dick Morgan would then continue to be the
principle responsible partner. Graves answered yes, and added,
that was not part of the original proposal, but Kim Howard and he
wanted him to sign individually. They agreed.
Williams asked, in the event of the demise of Dick Morgan, how
does the general partnership pass? Graves answered he did not
know. He did not review Morgan's will. That information is not
included in the assignment documents. Graves added, there would
have to be a general partner in the limited partnership, who
would be liable for partnership debt. Graves stated he did not
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
JULY 19, 1995
PAGE 19
know who that would be, however he assumes it would be Mrs.
Morgan or Don Morgan. They did not ask to look at the
testamentary devices as they did not feel it was relevant and
they did not want to pry.
Williams stated he just wanted to make sure someone would be
responsible in the event of Dick Morgan's demise. Graves stated
he had no objections to the assignments.
MOTIONS
Councilman Smalley MOVED for consent of assignment lease, Richard
I. Morgan to Shirley Morgan and from Richard & Shirley Morgan,
etc. Councilwoman Monfor SECONDED the motion. There were no
objections. 80 ORDERED.
H-7. Approval - Inspection Services/Production Well No. 3 -
Not -to -Exceed $7,600.00.
Williams asked what the inspection services would include.
Kornelis answered taking samples, analyzing samples, placing the
pipe. Manninen added, assuring the screens are the right size
and placed in the right spot. If the screen is in the wrong
spot, you don't get water or it silts up. It's worth the
investment. It's a very small part of the well -drilling cost.
You want to make sure you put the screen in and you're pumping
from the right level and you have the right size screen and the
right materials.
Williams stated it was his first time drilling a well for the
city. Usually when you have the well -driller drill a well, he
takes care of all the items discussed that the inspector will be
doing. Bookey agreed, adding he believed Kraxberger knows more
about drilling the well than the inspector knows about inspecting
it.
MOTIONS
Councilman Smalley MOVED for approval of the award to Wm. Nelson
& Associates for a construction inspection contract for the Water
Production Well No. 3 in the amount not -to -exceed $7,600.
Councilman Bannock SECONDED the motion.
Councilman Bannock asked what happens if the inspection contract
is not awarded? Was the money, approved during the last meeting,
only for drilling the well and not for any inspection? Manninen
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
JULY 19, 1995
PAGE 20
answered the city could get advice from the well driller, however
the advice is free and what you pay for. Manninen agreed the
person most familiar with drilling wells should have quite a bit
of knowledge, but'he did not think that is the sole source of
knowledge and he wouldn't be responsible for the sizing of the
screen. An engineer, with experience in that, would have that
experience. Manninen added, he had dealt with well -drillers
before and they are usually very reliable, but it is good to have
someone double check and say whether it is right and that's the
right size screen, right placement, right level, geology, etc.
It's insurance on what the city has done so far.
Williams stated that there will be a gathering of information as
the well is drilled. This knowledge will benefit the city and
the engineer. Williams added, Mr. Kraxberger has probably
drilled more wells than the engineer has ever seen.
Manninen asked, if the inspector is not hired, would it be a good
risk to have the well -driller tell where to set it. Manninen
stated he thought it would be fifty-fifty.
Bookey suggested City Engineer La Shot do the inspection work if
what is needed is a professional engineer. Councilman Measles
asked how much the engineer (Nelson) knows about well drilling.
If there's a concern that the driller will not perform correctly,
then perhaps the city should hire a hydrogeologist to do the
inspection.
Kornelis stated that about every ten feet, the engineering
technician (Nelson's) will take a soil sample and other data.
Nelson will work with the expert from Homer that did work on the
study. The soil samples will be analyzed. A decision will then
need to be made as to when to stop drilling and then what size
screen, the length of the screen, the size of the openings, etc.
The contract for the screen is $30,000. The screen is an
integral part of the well. Someone should be there during the
drilling.
Measles stated, by law, the well driller is required to log the
well as he drills it. Kornelis stated soil samples will be taken
as well. Measles stated it is not the amount of money requested,
but what are they getting for the money.
Bookey noted the proposal, included in the packet, states the
engineer will be billed out at $95/hour. Bookey added, the 80
hour estimate on the proposal, works out to be $95/hour.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
JULY 19, 1995
PAGE 21
Kornelis mentioned that it would be an engineering technician
observing the drilling, etc. Bookey asked if the technician
would be observing the drilling or Nelson. Kornelis answered,
Nelson reduced his proposal after La Shot spoke with him in
regard to the use of a technician and not Nelson. Kornelis
added, the not -to -exceed figure was based on the $7,600, not the
hours. La Shot had stated to Nelson that the city did not need
someone at $95/hour to be taking samples. Manninen stated they
expect it will take more than 80 hours, but the cost will not
exceed $7,600.
Williams noted it seemed that 60 days in which to drill the well
was a long time. Kornelis stated the contract to do the drilling
and testing is 60 days. Kornelis added, they will drill,
determine the materials, screen lengths, order the screen, after
receipt of the screen, install the screen, etc.
VOTE:
There were no objections to the motion. SO ORDERED.
H-8. Discussion - Kenai River Beaches
Councilwoman Monfor explained she asked for this discussion to be
placed on the agenda. Monfor stated the beach is full of
dipnetters (on Fridays and Wednesdays). There was a work session
with Council, P&Z and Parks & Recreation and a plan was going to
be devised to better accommodate the dipnetters, protect the
dunes, etc. The only thing that has been done is placement of
the dumpsters. The new toilets will be installed soon. The road
was not blocked off, no interpretative signs were placed, a
bigger parking lot was not made, no room was left along the road
for emergency vehicle use.
Monfor added, she will not be on council next year and does not
want to have to come before them as a concerned citizen and say
nothing has happened on the Kenai beach. Monfor added, she
believes the city is doing a disservice to the other side of the
River because it is also within the city limits. She does not
disagree with citing the State of Alaska for using an open toilet
along the river, but also thinks the city is not one to throw
stones when nothing is done to take better care of the other side
of the river. Monfor added, she knows there are garbage cans
placed, etc., however, either the city should get something to
them or make a policy about fishing on that side of the river.
Something has to be done.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
JULY 19, 1995
PAGE 22
Monfor added, the city owes it to the city and to the citizens to
protect what it has. The city is a leader in everything else,
however she doesn't know why the city can't be a leader in this
too. She hopes the plan that was being developed will be done
this winter because it is too late for this summer.
Manninen answered the new outhouses are in and being installed;
the port -a -potties are there; trash receptacles are on both sides
of the River; they discussed putting receptacles on the other
side and either couldn't get them out there or couldn't get them
back; they were not able to get port -a -potties (on the other side
of the river) placed and if they had been able to have them
placed, they would not be able to have them serviced. The option
was leaving them at the end of the road which was so far away and
would not have been utilized or they would have had to be placed
on the beach in front of a private home. They couldn't do
anything but put barrels down on the other side of the river.
Manninen added it is the staff's understanding no direction was
made by council to block the road off or build a parking area
this year. He raised the same question at a staff meeting and
was provided the information that no direction was taken. If the
parking lot needs to be built for next year and the road blocked
off, some direction will be needed from council to do so.
Monfor stated it is not the administration or staff's fault
because council did not follow through with directives after the
planning session. Her point was that another year cannot go on
if dipnetting will continue. The sand dunes are a concern as
they protect that area of the city from erosion. There is a lot
of things to look at and if the council doesn't take a hard stand
and do something positive, then there will be more trouble down
the road. In some cases it is too late.
Williams agreed that the city has time to do some planning and
Public Works has begun some designs (parking lot, road, etc.).
They are waiting also on the new restrooms.
Monfor referred to the picture in the morning's Peninsula Clarion
of the Ninilchik beach and the problems they are having because
they don't have proper facilities. Monfor stated she brought the
topic up because it needs to be carried on with what was planned
with Parks & Recreation and P&Z. It should be a priority to have
more of the work done next year. They discussed a three-year
plan.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
JULY 19, 1995

Williams suggested investigating the possibility of sacrificing
some of the wetland to the left of the road by the installation
of a major culvert system to allow continued drainage of that
area and allow recovering land to increase the carrying capacity
of the land for people. Williams added the city will do more
work on that area.
H-9. Discussion - Proposed Bond Issues.
a. Addition to Kenai Municipal Library.
b. Construction of an Ice Hockey/Skating Rink
Facility.
Williams referred to information included in the packet, i.e.
memorandum from city manager, draft resolutions for the library
and an ice facility.
Williams stated, in referring to the city manager's memorandum,
the council recognizes there is a lot of potential debt from
things needing to be done within the city. Williams asked if the
buried tank found was on the Daubenspeck property or FAA
property? Has the tank been discussed with FAA yet? Rachel
Clark, Engineering Technician answered the tank had been located
on the Daubenspeck property. She has not spoken with FAA.
Williams stated the city needs to determine when Daubenspeck
actually got the property and whether the FAA originally placed
the tank. Williams added the FAA housing was along that bluff
and the tank may have been the main fuel supply for the housing.
Attorney Graves stated the city has retained John Parker to do an
investigative site search to find out who placed the tank, when
it was placed, etc. After receiving a report from Parker, they
will decide whether to contact FAA, etc.
Resolution Discussion - Monfor asked when the resolutions needed
to be approved. Clerk Freas answered, the Borough likes to send
the ballot information to the printer as soon after August 15 as
possible.
Monfor asked if council was going to ask for $1 million for the
library or wait until after the architect's schematics were
ready. Attorney Graves stated he spoke with the bond counsel
(Klinkner) regarding the bond deadlines. Klinkner said in order
for him to have time to process the resolutions, etc., council
should look at the initial resolution at this meeting. Klinkner
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
JULY 19, 1995
PAGE 24
has reviewed the resolutions and thinks they are fine except they
need amounts included. Klinkner requested the final resolutions
be passed, with amounts, at the August 16 meeting in order that
he has time to prepare the report saying it is an appropriate
bond issue, etc. Amounts will be needed by the middle of August.
Monfor asked if the bond question could be more specific, i.e.
what the work will include so that the voters will know what they
are getting for the money. The same for the ice rink. Graves
stated one problem he had in drawing up the resolution on the ice
rink was that he did not know what kind of ice rink council wants
to build.
Bookey asked if the petition was circulated under the assumption
that it was a $200,000 ice rink or a $2.5 million ice rink.
Williams stated that question had not yet been answered. Several
councilmembers have different ideas as to what the ice rink
should include, i.e. open sheet of ice, open sheet of ice with a
roof with refrigeration, or an enclosed rink with all the
amenities. Bookey stated before he could support a bond issue on
anything, he wants to know what direction will be taken.
Williams added he believed the EDD office needs to come in with
that information as soon as possible. Williams referred to
Lovelyn from EDD who was in the audience. Lovelyn stated the
reason why the information was presented to council in a vague
form was because EDD was investigating the possibility of
developing the ice rink as an industry throughout the Borough.
The Sports Arena has leased ice time to the Anchorage Aces for
the entire season which has prompted people to panic. The
schools, community leagues, etc. wont have ice time except for
very early in the morning.
Lovelyn added, if council needs two or three scenarios with
different kinds of ice rinks and their costs, she would furnish
them with the information. Lovelyn noted asked when council
needed that information. Lovelyn noted they had about 100
signatures on the petitions (Williams noted 69 of whom are
registered voters). Many of those people who are involved in the
ice activities were out of town.
Williams stated the information for council to study should be
included in the next packet to review and discussion/action at
the second August meeting. Williams added, he agreed with
Councilman Measles in that if a rink is built, it should include
refrigeration.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
JULY 19, 1995
PAGE 25
Williams added, the area where a rink could be built would allow
room for expansion. Users of the rink could go forward to raise
money to enlarge the rink with heated change rooms, etc.
Williams stated that area would be over by the high school, using
the parking lot and change rooms at the high school.
Monfor asked if council could review the CIP list at the next
meeting to see if there is some other item on the list that could
be bonded, i.e. the fire station at Beaver Loop, etc. Williams
stated he felt it was too early for placing a fire station at
Beaver Loop. Monfor noted, the city would be building the Animal
Shelter by itself. Williams stated he would consider placing the
Animal Shelter on the ballot. If it is not voted for, the city
could shut the present shelter down and turn the animals loose.
Bookey and Smalley agreed the shelter is a health safety issue.
Williams stated the people should be told the shelter will be a
cost to them, either paying for it long-term or not. Also, if
the vote is relatively close (within 5%) and fails, council would
probably feel more comfortable with building a new shelter out-
of-pocket, than they would if it went to vote and failed by a
wide margin.
Bannock stated if it is decided the shelter is needed, he would
not want to take the chance of a vote failing at a big margin.
He would rather pay for it and build it. The political
ramifications would be councilmembers being voted out, but a
shelter would be built. If the bond issue would fail at a wide
margin, what would they do? Williams answered, turn them loose.
Bannock commented that would not be practical.
Bookey noted, council approved a purchase.order for $6,300 (for
the compressor) to protect workers, ears at the shop and the
shelter is in worse condition. William agreed. Williams added,
there have been newspaper articles, pictures, etc. presented to
the public. Now, the public should be asked if they want to
build a new shelter or not.
Williams stated he believed council should hold the bond issue at
two this year. Monfor added she would like to have something
done about the shelter as they have had it before them for two
years. Bookey stated if they are going to bond (for a new
shelter) they need to investigate the possibilities thoroughly.
Williams stated the shelter is mostly designed and could be
included in the next budget and plans ready by spring. It could
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
JULY 19, 1995
PAGE 26
be under construction by August. It's too late to do anything on
the shelter this year. Bookey added, council can make a decision
and get the project going. Williams agreed.
Monfor reminded council that as they had discussed before the
city should request funding from the Borough due to the city's
shelter handling animals from out of the city as well.
Manninen stated he thought council should consider investigating
a three -five year paving plan as a bond issue -- doing $.5
million new paving a year for the next five years. Have staff
bring estimates of what the costs might be and council decide if
they want to bond or decide if they just want to pave as the
needs arise. Monfor stated if it means paving the cul-de-sacs
and little pieces of road, she believed it should be done.
Smalley agreed.
Williams noted, council had proposed $2.4 for community road
development on the CIP list. Measles stated within a five-year
program, there are a lot of existing paved streets which will
need maintenance. It would be more than paving new streets.
Williams stated, maintenance of paving will need to keep up from
out-of-pocket. Measles stated he wasn't saying to bond for it,
but there is an expense the city will incur and has not been
doing maintenance work. Some kind of maintenance program, on
existing paved streets, needs to be developed so that in ten
years' time, they won't have millions of dollars of paving
needing to be done.
Bookey noted First and Second Avenue, at Wildwood is like that
now. Williams stated they are state roads. Bookey added, the
city maintains them though.
Williams stated council should continue to think about those
things until the first meeting in August. There will be more
information available the other projects and can discuss paving
as well.
H-10. Discussion - Glacier Environmental/Proposal for On -Site
Disposal of Fines.
Manninen stated the opinion is written and included in the
packet. The engineering technician has negotiated with Glacier
Environmental. Glacier is requesting to spread some of the
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
JULY 19, 1995
PAGE 27
fines, less than 1,000 yards, on the lots and pay the city
$10,000. The staff does not think that is appropriate, but is a
decision which was requested to come to council.
Manninen added, staff thinks they have been given one extension.
The city has been very generous. If it creates a problem for
them, fine, but they still have a September 1 deadline. Staff
doesn't think the city should take on any added liability to
accommodate an inconvenience for them. It may be a long-term
liability for the city (cleaning the property or lowering of sale
price) .
Councilman Smalley agreed. Also, the city when out of its way to
do this and they should be held to their contract. Monfor,
Bannock and Bookey agreed. Bookey added, the contractor came
before council and stated they could do the project.
EXECUTIVE SESSION
None.
ITEM I: ADMINISTRATION REPORTS
Mayor
a. Kenai Peninsula Caucus - Mayor Williams reported the
Kenai Peninsula Caucus dissolved at their last meeting. Caucus
treasury funds are to be divided and $4,686.87 will be returned
to the City of Kenai.
Williams also explained the Borough repealed an earlier ordinance
which would have continued paying Peninsula cities' AML dues
within a phase -in program. Now Peninsula cities will have to pay
their own dues at a higher rate. Williams suggested council
consider whether they want to continue participation in AML after
receiving the next membership dues bill.
b. Kenai River Special Management Area Board - Williams
referred to the July 14, 1995 DNR letter included in the packet.
The letter notified the city that Governor Knowles is
"revitalizing the advisory board with new appointments and the
direction to prepare a new river management plan." The city was
requested to submit a name of a person to represent the city on
the Board.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
JULY 19, 1995
PAGE 28
Council requested City Engineer Jack La Shot be requested to
continue as the city's representative on the board.
C. Kenai Peninsula Tourism Marketing Council, Inc. -
Williams referred to the letter, included in the packet, from the
Kenai Peninsula Tourism Marketing Council (KPTMC) which requested
the city become a member to the organization.
Councilman Bookey stated he believed the Visitors Center handled
tourism matters for the city and it was not necessary to become a
member of the KPTMC. Council concurred.
d. Kenai Peninsula Borough Planning Commission - Williams
reported Philip Bryson was reappointed to the KPB Planning
Commission.
I-2. City Manager
a. AML Legislative Meeting - City Manager Manninen
reported he attended the AML Legislative meeting on Monday and
Tuesday. The meeting was held in Kotzebue. Manninen added it
was a very interesting meeting. They compared the state budget
and the Municipal Revenue Sharing in 1996 to that of the 1977
state budget -- approximately 2.6% of the state budget.
Manninen added, all committees met for a couple of days and
legislation is being revised. They discussed retirement, senior
citizen property tax, unfunded mandates, pulling PERS, education,
regulatory takings, fish tax, marine tax, etc. AML is taking
positions on all of those matters. They are developing their
policies now and he will forward copies of the new draft of the
Policy Statement when it becomes available.
b. 8sxon Valdez oil Spill Trustee Council - Manninen
referred council to his letter to the Trustee Council which was
included in the packet as Information Item No. 9. Manninen
explained his letter stated the city wants them to acquire the
city's 2100 acres as it would provide an absolute guarantee for
habitat protection that is in concert with the spill response
plan and also within the funding that they need and have
available. The city is asking them to place the city's plan on
their FY90 revised plan for this fall. Manninen added if council
wants something different from what he wrote to the Trustee
Council, let him know.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
JULY 19, 1995
PAGE 29
Manninen added that during the AML meeting, he spoke with Ron
Drathman and he said he will be going to bring up his ordinance
to the Borough Assembly this fall.
C. Preservation North Contract/Historic District Board -
Manninen referred to the July 17, 1995 L. Harvey memorandum which
was distributed at the beginning of the meeting. Manninen
reported the liability insurance costs would add approximately
25% to the cost of the whole project. It really doesn't seem
that (1) there would be that much exposure and (2) if it's going
to add 25% to the cost of the project with very little exposure,
does the city want to require them to have the insurance?
Manninen added, Administrative Assistant Howard called Valdez to
verify some of the things in the memo and they do not require
insurance or did not require insurance from Preservation North to
do the work in Valdez. If they found any other information,
other than the purchase order, they would fax it to us. They
also stated they have used Donna Lane's professional services and
said they are very conscientious. The concern of Preservation
North is that it would add $3,000, $3,100 or about 25% to the
cost of their contract and they said they wouldn't be able to
afford to do it and maintain they wouldn't have much exposure.
The job isn't like an intrusive thing -- they won't be going into
peoples' houses and buildings. It is more of an exterior survey
thing. They don't feel liability is warranted or needed in this
case. However, it is one of the city's requirements. If council
wants to stay with it, but there is some precedence for
overriding it for what the city wants to do. Manninen stated he
needs council to make that decision and not unilaterally by
staff.
Bookey asked if it was a requirement in the request for
proposals? Williams stated the requirement was that they have
insurance. The requirement went to all the bidders. Manninen
stated it is in the contract at Page 5.
Manninen asked if it was a part of the RFP. Finance Director
Brown referred to Page 5 of the contract. Brown added the RFP
stated what insurance policies were required, plus another for
professional liability requirements. A representative from
Preservation North came to City Hall and discussed the matter
with Brown and City Engineer La Shot (she was the only bidder).
La Shot and Brown agreed to remove the professional liability
requirement out. She was objecting to the professional
liability. That requirement does not appear on Page 5.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
JULY 19, 1995
PAGE 30
Now Preservation North is objecting to general liability, which
is required and as a reason for rejecting is the cost of $3,000.
She sent a quote from her insurance company, but it is for
professional liability insurance, which is not required. Brown
stated he personally didn't care, although it was in the RFP.
Her objection was based on the cost of professional liability
which is not a requirement.
Bookey asked if Preservation North has the general liability?
Brown stated he did not think so. Williams stated it appeared
Preservation North was lacking some credibility in their ability
to determine what insurance was required. Bookey stated he could
understand Preservation North not wanting professional liability,
but the general liability should be a general course of business.
Brown stated he did not believe she had any general liability.
Brown added he believed the proposal was a joint venture effort
of expertise. He did not believe it would be a full-time, on-
going enterprise.
Bookey asked if that was the case, what credibility would the
report have behind it? Brown stated he didn't know. He only was
dealing with the award. Brown added, according to Kim, Valdez
stated they did fine work for them. Brown stated the
representative never objected to Brown or La Shot in regard to
the requirement of general liability in the RFP.
Councilman Smalley suggested the city send a letter suggesting
not to worry about the $3,000 for the professional coverage
because it was deleted from the RFP, but that the general
liability is required.
Williams asked what liability could they have? Bookey stated it
didn't make a difference. Smalley stated.he did not want to
start a precedent by dropping liability insurance.
Councilman Bannock stated he believed the person received
incorrect information from the insurance company. General
liability insurance is rather inexpensive. Bannock added he did
not want to waive the requirement either. The requirement was in
the contract.
Williams noted, Valdez approached the requirement that if it does
not include hands-on work, such as structural or technical
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
JULY 19, 1995
PAGE 31
evaluations, it is not needed. They will only be taking notes.
Bannock stated that is why it is called general liability and it
is not very expensive.
Directive to administration was for Preservation North to bring a
binder for general liability. Bannock added, whatever the
minimum requirement stipulates.
I-3. Attorney
a. Board of Adjustment Hearing/Findings of Fact - Attorney
Graves requested council to call him and let him know what
direction they want to go with the determination so he can
compose the decision.
b. River Board Meetings - Graves reported he had been
attending River Board meetings for the last two days. The next
and probably last meeting, prior to rendering a draft ordinance,
would be tomorrow.
Generally, the members (a) felt there was'a need for river
protection, and (b) uniformly felt that KPB Ordinance 94-52 was a
disaster. Graves added, his feeling from talking with Assembly
members is that Drathman may be the only member who has the idea
of submitting the 94-52 for action.
Graves stated the river board is developing a "bare bones"
ordinance which is what most people felt should have been done
originally. The processors in the city are for the direction
they are going. The Anchorage landowners are also in agreement
and the King Salmon Fund has also signed on. Most have signed on
with the general direction with the "bare bones" ordinance. They
still have a lot of decisions to make at their meeting tomorrow.
When they asked what the city's basic goal was, he answered to
protect the river while preserving local autonomy. Some members
have a concern that if exempting people begins, they will not be
able to get a consensus on any ordinance. Graves stated he
somewhat agreed with that. Graves suggested, a way around that
would be if the ordinance is drafted as it is developing, it
would not appear that it will be too onerous for the City of
Kenai. Allow the city the option to adopt it and it will be its
ordinance within the city. The city would enforce and control it
and the Borough would stay out of it. If the city does not like
the ordinance, then they could go back to suing each other as was
going to be done with 94-52.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
JULY 19, 1995
PAGE 32
Graves stated there was no objection from the group to maintain
local control of the ordinance within the city. They understood
Kenai's concerns. The new ordinance will be a completely
different proposal than 94-52. He has not heard any property or
cannery owner say that it will be too burdensome for them to do.
Graves stated they intend to have the concept completed at their
meeting tomorrow. There will then be an ad hoc staff to write up
the recommendations. The tributaries and Kenai Lake will not be
included in the ordinance. They felt they should take care of
the river stem, do minimums, a bare -bones ordinance and see how
it works.
Williams asked what the feeling was for the lower five miles.
Graves answered, to the rules to be applied, there is a uniform
understanding that the area on the mouth of the river is an
industrial area and will continue to be an industrial area. They
absolutely agree that non -conforming use is not to be used in the
document. The ordinance is to be designed to allow canneries be
there 100 years from now. There is no objection to that by
anyone, of which he is aware, in the group.
The canneries are fully on -board at this time. They all like the
direction of the ordinance. The ordinance is not designed to
control use, but to simply protect that narrow band of fish
habitat right along the river.
Bookey asked if they were suggesting a high water mark, 100 year
flood plain, etc.? Graves answered the 100 year flood plain was
discussed. His feeling was they would not deal with the flood
plain at all in this ordinance. The group does not feel it
should be dealt with at this time. Maybe in two years.
Bookey asked about 15 ft. setback from the bank. Graves stated
there had been a lot of discussion about what was done in British
Columbia, i.e. a 15 meter buffered area from the ordinary high
water mark. There would still be a lot of things to do in that
area, but they would be things not destructive to the vegetation.
Graves stated the Anchorage landowners' proposal was 25 feet. If
that area is to be developed, measures will need to be taken to
protect the fish habitat. Certain activities would not be
regulated at all. Other things needing to be done are measures
to protect the bank and the vegetation. Graves added, one could
probably not build within the buffer unless there are areas the
zone that needs to be protected could be five feet wide. In
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
JULY 19, 1995
PAGE 33
those areas it doesn't matter if you build ten feet off the
shore. It is really the five feet which really needs to be
protected to protect the habitat. Graves stated they have gotten
away from regulating use and protecting the fish habitat.
Councilman Measles added, there would then not be arguments as to
how wide the buffer zone is. Graves stated that is one of the
proposals. Measles noted, that is a problem with regulating
because the river bank changes often. To set a rule of a
constant buffer zone, is not always true for protecting the
river. One buffer will not work for the entire length and both
sides of the river.
Measles stated he would prefer there was not one setback width
for the whole river. Make it more site -specific as to the
habitat that is being protected. Measles stated he would think
there would still be some permitting process for any construction
within the ordinance. Graves answered, no necessarily if it is
not within the buffer. Williams reminded council that the city
has rules in motion that would protect the properties.
Williams added, the Borough is wanting to develop an ordinance
that would give control to the State to enforce the ordinance.
Bookey asked if all the canneries were represented. Graves
answered that Vince Goddard was the representative for the
canneries. Their official position was that the ordinance should
be very, very inclusive. Close to 94-52.
Bookey stated he was concerned that all this work would be done
and the canneries would not agree to the ordinance. Graves
stated Goddard had indicated support of the ordinance as it has
been developed thus far. They have compromised.
Bookey asked if there was discussion as to the exemption of the
lower five miles. Graves answered they discussed it. The
canneries said they did not want to be exempt. They were very
clear. They do not want to take the political heat to be
exempted. They feel that the direction this ordinance is taking,
they can live with it. It will not interfere with their
operations.
Williams requested a copy of the draft ordinance as soon as it is
received for their review.

added, the two matters have nothing to do with each other. They
are different funds. One cannot offset the other. More research
needs to be done.
Williams asked Haller if any provisions were made to connect him
when the water and sewer were put in the area. Haller answered
no.
Kornelis stated he was not sure if the services lines were put
in. Many times they were not placed if there was no paving put
in. Kornelis continued, originally the ordinance required the
property owner, regardless of whether he was hooked up or not, to
pay. That ordinance was changed to require property owners to
hook up and pay if the property is within 200 feet of water/sewer
lines.
Councilman Measles suggested Administration research the matter
and bring it back to council for review. Williams added, they
should make a determination of whether there are service stubs.
Williams told Haller, they did not know if the payments could be
manipulated. Perhaps payment could be delayed long enough to let
him get in financial condition to pay it.
Williams requested Administration to review the matter.
Councilman Smalley requested Administration find out what the
code required at the time as well.

resolution is to reappropriate the money, adding $15,000.
Kornelis added, he plans to award the contract during this
meeting and installation will be done after the fishing season
has ended. The dock will be ready for use next year.

Re: Balancing the state budget on the backs of municipalities
I have been attending the meetings of the State's Long Range Financial Planning
Commission. Julie has been keeping track of the State Board of Education's efforts to
develop a new foundation formula.
I believe that the state is finally waking up to the fact that the state has a revenue
problem that must be solved. However, some people involved in the process would
like to simply hand over the state's problems to municipalities to avoid making hard
decisions. For example, the School Foundation committee has discussed raising the
mandatory mill rate for schools from four to ten mills. The Long Range Financial
Planning Commission has discussed tapping into a "$150 million municipal excess tax
capacity" to solve part of the state's fiscal problem. In reality, as Senator Reiger has
stated, simply passing on a problem to municipalities is not a real solution to the state's
financial problems. In fact, our constituents and theirs are exactly the same people.
I feel that it is critical to municipalities to develop consensus on a realistic and
comprehensive solution with the state. The problem is vastly bigger than Municipal
Assistance and Revenue Sharing. The state is looking for a whole new relationship
between the state and municipalities. The administration wants to discuss municipal
transfers of responsibility for harbors, roads, some social services, etc.
I have drafted a discussion paper on a comprehensive municipal position on solving
Alaska's fiscal problems based on the 1995 AML Policy Statement and targeted on the
issues under discussion at the state level. I will present the draft paper to the Legislative
Committee in Kotzebue for their discussion. I also added some graphs and charts aimed
at educating the members of the state commissions about the importance of
municipalities in the overall picture of state services.
Please review the draft discussion Raper. Also. I have arranged a teleconference between
the AML Board of Directors, the Alaska Conference of Mayors at Barrow. and the Long
Range Financial Planning Commission in Anchorage on Saturdav 9:00 to 11:00 AM -
This is just a beginning. Your comments and ideas are critical. I look forward to
discussing this with you soon.

Review DRAFT
Preliminary
Position Statement
in Support of the
Alaska Long Range Financial Plan
Testimony to the
Alaska Long Range Financial Planning Commission
Presented by the
Alaska Municipal League
and the
Alaska Conference of Mayors
August 26, 1995
IMAM
Proposed Elements of the Alaska Long Range Financial Plan
Municipal governments currently provide approximately half of all public services in
Alaska. (Total government service expenditures in Alaska are about $4.7 billion, of
which $2.4 billion are provided by municipalities, and $2.3 billion by state government).
Because both the state and local governments provide public services to the same people,
and because both the state and local governments have taxing powers over the same
people, it is not possible to create an effective Long Range Financial Plan for Alaska
without the active involvement of both state and local governments.
All states provide some form of revenue sharing to their political subdivisions
because states are the only taxing authority that can fairly allocate a state's resources to
ensure that all citizens receive a basic level of public services. Without state revenue
sharing some areas of a state would not receive a basic level of health and safety services
while other areas would pay disproportionately higher local taxes for those services.
According to the 1994 ACIR Report, the average nationwide state contribution of state
revenues to local governments is 34.2% of local government budgets, in Alaska, state
government contributes only 36.3% of local government budgets despite vast
regional differences in the distribution of local resources and vast state revenues from
commonly owned resources (oil revenues). _
Currently, Alaska has two main general revenue sharing programs for municipal service
operations: Municipal Assistance (MA) and State Revenue Sharing (SRS). MA is based
on population only and includes a hold harmless distribution amount to some cities, based
on the amount those cities received from the corporate business tax in 1978. SRS is
based both on population and community resources, making it a fairer vehicle to
distribute revenue sharing on a needs basis.
Alaska has also implemented a revenue sharing program, the Capital Matching Grant
Program, to fairly provide a basic level of support to municipalities to construct basic
public facilities as determined necessary be the local community.
Over the past ten years, cuts to MA/SRS, and other state programs that provide funds to
local governments, have been so severe that they have destabilized some communities,
forced some dissolutions of municipal governments, and effectively increased local taxes
as much as the equivalent of ten mills of property tax.
The AML supports a consolidation of the two programs into one that is similar to the
current SRS The SRS distribution philosophy is to provide a portion of the wealth from
Alaska's commonly owned resources (oil revenue) to ensure a basic level ofpublic health
and safety services to all Alaskans.
The AML supports a gradual transition from the current formula to the new formula over
a ten year period
The AML supports the continuation and stable funding of the Capital Matching Grant
Program because it is an effective revenue sharing method that provides for a basic level
of community public facilities and promotes local self determination.
Most important, the AML supports a stable revenue relationship with the state to promote
local fiscal planning and to promote local economic and community development. This
means that the state Long Range Financial Plan should include a consistent amount of
funding, or a consistent percentage of state general fund revenues, for the municipal
revenue sharing programs.
The Alaska Constitution states, "The Legislature shall by general law establish a system
of public schools open to all children of the State...". Open access to a quality education
is a primary right guaranteed by the Constitution. All states provide support for
education. The nationwide average of education transfers versus all other transfers to
local government is 62.1 %, according to the 1994 ACIR Report, while Alaska is close to
the national average at 59.7%
The AML supports efforts to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of education
programs for our children, such as the changes proposed by the Alaska Association of
School Boards, and other efforts to increase local flexibility in providing cost efficient
and cost effective education.
The AML supports the effort to restructure the school foundation program to more
equitably distribute the state resources for education.
A municipality's power to provide services and to raise revenues is derived from the
state. Alaska's constitution calls for "maximum local self government" and provides that
"agreements, including those for cooperative or joint administration of any function or
powers, may be made by any local government with any other local government. with the
state, or the United States..."
Some services currently provided by the state may be more efficiently, or effectively
provided under the administration of local governments, and under the policy direction of
local residents.
The AML supports the negotiation of service responsibility transfers from the state to
municipalities provided the state actively enters into good faith negotiations with
municipalities to identify adequate existing or new revenues, or enacts legislation to
provide adequate new or additional revenue sources, to undertake the transferred
services.
Specifically, the AML supports entering into negotiations with the state to transfer the
responsibility for operation, maintenance, and improvement of harbors, some classes of
local roads, and some classes of air transportation facilities with the long term
commitment of the state to share fuel taxes, and other revenues, with municipalities to
supplement direct user fees.
The AML supports the negotiation of other service transfers from the state as appropriate
to best serve the citizens of Alaska..
An unfunded mandate is a responsibility mandated by a higher level of government to a
lower level of government, without providing funding to carry out the mandate. In 1994
the federal government passed a bill to protect the states against unfunded federal
mandates. Many states have enacted similar bills, or constitutional amendments,
protecting their municipalities against unfunded state mandates. Such a bill for Alaska
will be a means to ensure a long term stable relationship between the state and its
political subdivisions.
The AML supports the enactment of a municipal "unfunded mandates bill" to provide
protection from unilateral decisions on the part of the state that have the effect of forcing
municipalities to raise local taxes or cut services.
Many areas of the state, especially rural areas, have traditionally had very small local
resource bases to provide basic services. Over the years, state programs have been
developed to target specific basic services to these areas. Such programs include: Power
Cost Equalization, Village Safe Water Program: Public Safety Officer Program.
The AML supports the inclusion of such programs into a comprehensive strategy to
provide basic services to all communities in the state.
The AML supports the formation of new local governments to promote local self
determination.
The AML supports the equitable participation of all residents and non-residents working
in Alaska in the funding and support of basic government services including education,
public health and safety, and other basic services.
As part of a long range financial plan for the state and municipalities, the AML
recognizes that action must be taken to incrementally introduce new revenue sources for
the State well in advance of a financial crises. The 1995 AML Policy Statement urges
consideration of the following revenue options if new revenues are a part of the long
range financial plan:
1. Use of Permanent Fund earnings for Municipal Super - (AML p.3) The
AML supports the use of Permanent Fund undesignated earnings for revenue
sharing, municipal assistance, education foundation formula, school debt
reimbursement, and school construction and maintenance projects on the
Department of Education priority lists established under the provisions ofAS
14.11.
2. Personal Income Tax- (AML p. 16) The AML supports legislation to reinstate
the state income tax, with a tax credit for local participation in sales,
personal, and real property tax, to allow for maximum capture of revenue
from non-resident employees working within Alaska.
3. Fuel Taxes to support municipal and state transportation, sums - Currently,
the state tax on motor fuel is S.08 per gallon and on marine fuel is S.05 per
gallon. The national average motor fuel tax is S.18 per gallon. The AML
(1995 Policy Statement p.44) supports increased fuel taxes, and other
transportation related fees, sufficient to support state and municipal
transportation system needs, i. e. roads, harbors, airports, marine highway.
4. Sales Taxes and Proms, Taxes - Sales and Property taxes are the primary
sources of tax revenue. Each organized municipality uses these primary tax
revenue sources in a manner chosen by local citizens to pay for the general
public services of local government. The AML DOES.NOT support the
enactment of state sales or property taxes in the organized municipalities.

Narrative: The total of Local Taxes, fees, and charges for service collected by
municipalities is equal to all state revenue from petroleum. Municipalities with a tax base
have been significantly increasing revenues from taxation, cutting services and expenses,
and making service operations largely self sufficient in response to cuts in state revenue
sharing since 1986.

Far Eastern State University - Vladivostok
Student Visit
July 30 - August 5, 1995
Briefing Paper
The Far Eastern State University - University of Maryland Joint Management
Program is unique. Russian students enroll and attend all classes in
Vladivostok, Russia. The first two years all subjects are presented in Russian
language. Subjects these years consist of statistics, Russian economics,
computers, among others as well as an intensive English component. At the
completion of the second year, the students must pass a comprehensive
English test. This test is designed to determine whether or not they have
enough background to understand English on a college level. If the student
successfully passes this test, he/she is permitted to continue onto the third
year.
The third and fourth years of study are presented in English by American
professors. Subjects are the same as those in any American university -
accounting, economics, finance, and technical writing. At the completion of
the fourth year, the students receive a degree in Management from the
University of Maryland. They continue for a fifth year where they study
Russian law, economics, and do an internship with a local company. They
must write a paper on a selected business topic. At the end of the fifth year,
the successful students will receive a degree in Russian Economics from the
Far Eastern State University.
This study tour is designed to give the students a practical look at how
business works in a free market economy. They are expected to discover
how the theory which they just learned works in reality. The students are
very fluent in English and business terms and concepts. They are familiar
with the theory of American business. In many cases, the students also have
been working with Russian businesses and have a good grasp of how business
in Russia actually works. They hope to put the reality as well as the theory
into practice.
Among other things, they would like to know how your business was
developed (background); how it is organized; how you keep your records;
how your business relates to government and tax authorities; what is your
business philosophy; do you conduct any business in Russia or intend to; if
so, how do you find it; if not, why not. Their interests are not just limited to
what they know but are curious about everything. They will ask questions.
The students in this study group include:
• Leonid Stetitelman - established his own small import business and
hopes to expand.
Stanislas Ponomarenko - works with the Port Authority and is
interested in how to import heavy equipment. Also interested in computers.
• Konstantin Aristarkov - works in a bank and is interested in how banks
in America actually work and how they can help small business.
• Olga Karpets - is also graduating from the law faculty. Is interested in
the regulatory aspects of business and how they interplay.
• Oksana Klimenko - is currently working with the territorial
government and is interested in seeing how government here works with
and promotes business.
Alexander Karpukin - works with several small retail businesses. He is
interested in how oil development and processing is done in America and
how it works with business.
• Denis Alexandrov - works with several import/export companies. He
is interested in everything about American business ... how it works, how to
make a profit, etc.
• Katherine Markova - works with an organization which sells
computers. She is interested in general how business works.
Vadim Rozhkovan - works with various small organizations and is also
interested in general business practices.
• Konstantin Saveliev - works in a bank and is interested to see the
American banking style.
The students' English is excellent and their curiosity is high. This is a first
trip abroad and to America for many.
Accompanying the students are:
• Rochelle Morris - coordinator/instructor University of Maryland
• Tamara Agronova - chaperon
• Tatiana Strebel - assistant and driver
0 Katrina Chisum - assistant and driver

(2) Joint Parking Areas: Where there is more than one use in a single
structure or on a site (e.g., doctor, attorney, and retail grocery) or two or more
separate instances of the same use, off-street parking requirements shall be the sum of
the requirements for the various uses: provided however, that where two or more uses
provide a single joint parking area, and their total required spaces totals twenty (20)
ore more, the minimum requirement will be 75 % of the sum of the requirements for
the various computed separately.
(3) Location of Parking: Any parking space provided pursuant to this section
shall be on the same lot with the main use it serves or on an adjoining lot except that
the Commission, by a conditional use permit as specified in this chapter, may allow
parking spaces on any lot if it is determined that it is impractical to provide parking
on the same or adjoining lot.

CITYADMIN. OF KENAI
On June 6 Governor Knowles announced a new $2 billion, ten-year transportation initiative for Alaska.
The program will shape how we select future projects for our Statewide Transportation Improvement
Program (STIP). The Governor's initiative, as described in his enclosed speech, includes four major
themes:
Bring Alaska's National Highway System (intercity, statewide and Alaska Marine Highway routes) up
to standard (approximately $120 million a year);
Develop a Community Transportation Program that creates partnerships with local governments to
build and maintain projects that serve local needs (approximately $80 million a year);
Support the construction of new roads and projects that directly contribute to the economic
development of Alaska (annual funding for this program is included in the Community Transportation
Program); and
Introduce a Trails and Recreational Access for Alaska (TRAAK) Program to improve access and
recreational opportunities ($10 to $20 million a year).
The identification of projects to improve the National Highway System (NHS) is primarily a Department
responsibility, working in consultation with local governments and the public. At this time the
department is preparing a ten-year spending plan for NHS routes which will be offered for public review
when completed.
The development of the Community Transportation and TRAAK Programs will require close
cooperation with community groups and local governments, which is the purpose of this letter. We are
very excited about seeing these new elements incorporated in our STIP as quickly as possible. However,
we want to be sure that we do things right. We need your help to do this.
Our immediate intention is to rewrite the current Needs List and FY'95-97 STIP with a new Needs List
and an FY'96-98 STIP. These new documents will allow projects that best fit the Governor's initiative
to move forward as rapidly as possible. To do this in a way that does not interrupt our ability to use
federal transportation funding, we must follow a tight schedule, so I ask for your early attention to this
project nomination process.
Our first step is to ask for your project nominations. Since this process will produce a new STIP, both
projects on the current FY'95-97 STIP and new projects are eligible. To assist you we have included a
copy of the current STIP and the Six -Year Needs List. All projects selected for FY'96 and thereafter will
compete equally under the broad criteria of the Governor's initiative.
After assembling the list of potential projects, as suggested by you, other government agencies from
around the state, and our department staff, we will score projects based on the following criteria:
Contributing economic benefits to the State, a community, or transportation consumers;
Alleviating health or safety problems;
Improving regional intermodal connections or reducing modal redundancy;
Community contribution to project costs;
Community commitment to maintenance of project;
Public support for project;
Environmental impact of project; and,
Increased mobility for the transportation disadvantaged.
Projects that best meet the criteria will be further evaluated and ranked using detailed, numerically -based
factors and then placed on a new Needs List. We intend to have these more detailed criteria available in
a few weeks. For now, these criteria reflect the most important factors we will use in the project
rankings.
Subsequently, we will conduct a public review of the Needs List, and then select projects for the new
FY'96-98 STIP. Finally, the draft FY'96-98 STIP will be presented for public review and comment. A
timeline of this process is enclosed.
The effort to update the STIP is directed at our roadway and marine highway programs. However, we
must develop our surface transportation system to complement our aviation and marine needs.
Therefore, it is important that you identify your highest priority transportation needs including airports,
and ports and harbors when you nominate projects for the Needs List.
Please provide your nominations or supplemental project information on the Project Nomination Form
by August 14, 1995. This should include any new data in support of projects already in the current
FY'95-97 STIP or Needs List. I hope you will take this opportunity to participate in our FY'96-98 STIP
process. If you have questions or need additional information please call John Tolley, Planning Chief,
at (907) 266-1462.
Sincerely,
eD. HoP.nal Director

RE: Highway Safety Improvement Program
Candidate Projects, June, 1995.
The Department of Transportation and Public Facilities has completed development of the annual Highway Safety Improvement
Program (HSIP) candidate projects for 1995. Input was solicited from local governments and law enforcement agencies. This
resulted in additional locations becoming candidates for safety improvements.
Each suggested location was compared with the Department listings of high accident locations and evaluated to determine if
there is an "engineering fix" that would alleviate the accident problem. For those locations where it was determined there is
an "engineering fix" a safety project was proposed. The list of safety projects was then prioritized and submitted to our
Regional Planning Section for consideration and possible inclusion in the FY95-97 Statewide Transportation Improvement
Program (STIP). This listing was also submitted through the State Traffic Engineer to the Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA) for HSIP approval.
Enclosed is the final list of safety improvement projects which was submitted to FHWA for HSIP approval. Upon approval
they will be added to our Statewide Transportation Improvement Program for construction in future years. Projects previously
submitted for consideration but not selected for the June, 1995 HSIP will be retained in our database and reevaluated as part
of the next HSIP project identification effort.
If you have any questions or want to discuss the program, please contact me at 266-1528. Thank you for your participation in
the development of this year s HSIP.

Dear Mayor Williams:
RE: FY 96 STATE REVENUE SHARING PAYMENT

NOME, ALASKA 99762-1068
PHONE. (907) 443-5457
FAX (907) 443-2409
I am pleased to inform you that your municipality's FY 96 State Revenue Sharing
payment in the amount of $229,805 has been requested. The state treasury warrant
will be mailed directly by the Department of Administration and you should
receive the payment shortly.
Enclosed is a detailed breakdown of how the municipality's payment was
determined from the Miscellaneous Services Account. This information should
be provided to the municipality's finance officer for monitoring compliance with
the limitations placed on the use of these funds by state law. Generally, except as
noted below, state revenue sharing funds may be spent at the municipality's
discretion for any public facility or service for which the municipality has the
power to expend public funds, as provided by AS 29.35 and local ordinance.
Restrictions on the Use of Funds
ROAD MAINTENANCE - By the end of this fiscal year, at least 20 percent of the
funds received under the Road Maintenance Category must be spent for that
service to demonstrate that a minimum level of the service was provided. The
remaining 80 percent of funds may be used for other municipal services or
facilities. If road maintenance (including ice road maintenance) is provided
outside the municipality's boundaries, the municipality must adopt an ordinance
providing for the exercise of road maintenance powers on an extraterritorial basis.
21-P4LH
Mayor Williams
July 26, 1995
Page Two
Additionally, if the municipality maintains roads outside its boundaries but
within an rganized borough, the borough must authorize the exercise of the
extraterritorial road powers.
HEALTH FACILITIES - By the end of this fiscal year, at least 20 percent of the funds
received for health facilities must be used for expenses of health services or for
operation and maintenance of health facilities. The remaining 80 percent of funds
must be dedicated for health services and/or facilities.
HOSPITALS - All funds received for hospitals operated by the municipality may be
used only for hospitals and shall be apportioned amount qualifying hospitals as
the municipality determines. All funds received for hospitals not operated by the
municipality shall be immediately transferred to the nonprofit hospital and shall
be applied to the annual cost of operation and maintenance of the hospital or for
the provision of health care service at the hospital as the directors of the hospital
determine.
SERVICE AREAS - An equalization entitlement generated by the tax levy of a
taxing unit may be used only for authorized expenditures of that taxing unit, but
up to 15 percent of the payment of an equalization entitlement generated by
areawide revenue of a municipality may be used by the municipality for areawide
or nonareawide purposes at the discretion of its governing body. An equalization
entitlement determined with reference to revenue other than revenue obtained
from the levy and collection of taxes may be used for areawide or nonareawide
purposes, at the discretion of the governing body.
If revenue sharing funds are spent improperly, the department will either reduce
the municipality's future entitlement or demand the return of the money paid.
Please feel free to call me at 465-4733 should you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Bill Rolfz n

Ms. Lovelyn Bremond
Economic Development District
110 Sth Willow, Suite 106
Kenai, AK 99611
Dear Ms. Bremond,
The following information concerning the North Peninsula Recreation
Serviced Area ice rink cover is in response to your request. If you need
additional information please let me know.
Our initial design for a covered ice rink was from a facility constructed
in North Pole, Alaska in 1992/93. The North Pole structure was just a
cover over an existing rink, and lights were installed. As projects go it
was considered a simple straight forward job. The total cost of the
project was approximately $280,000, Aaron Kotzin, Project Manager,
Kenai Peninsula Borough, has a copy of the North Pole bid document, and
design.
The Jason Peterson Memorial ice rink cover was designed with the
following specifications.
1. One hundred mile per hour wind speed.
2. Seventy five pounds per square inch of snow load.
As you know Nikiski is a higher snow fall area that other areas
on the Peninsula.
3. Seismic Zone 4 construction requirements.
4. Over head lighting, and two over head doors.
Included in the hid package were several additive alternates that could be
completed if funds were available, an up grade on the metal roofing
material, and three sepal ate exterior walls.
There were several factors that determined the scope of the ice rink
project. it was determined that money could be saved by not enclosing the
rink. if the rink were enclosed completely fire codes for occupancy and
evacuation would need to be addressed. Restroom facilities would need to
be designed into the facility if enclosed. cinaliy an air exchange system
would be required to meet Alaska State codes. These factors alone
increase the cost of the project dramatically.
Total base bid cost for the project $361,597 was for a covered ice
rink with steel supports and steel roofing. A series of eight to ten
supports per side with pedestals for anchors would be needed.
All additive alternates were approved at the time of the bid making the
total construction cost $432,456. Our project budget also reflects a
10% contingency and 7% for salaries an expenses for the Public Works
department. Total project cost $505,972.
The project did not include boards around the rink. We will use the
existing boards. This particular rink has an asphalt base and only minor
repair is planned for the existing asphalt. A warm up but was not needed.
Commercially prepared ice with a system was never an option due to the
cost of installation and maintenance.
Future plans for the ice rink include heated set back seating for
spectators, and the construction of an additional warm up hut. The
purchase of equipment to maintain the ice is planned for in future budgets.
Raven Contractors the low bidder for the project has not provided me with
a copy of the drawing for the building at this time. when the drawings are
available i can share them with you if you are interested.
I hope that the information I have provided will be of some help in the
pursuit of covered ice rinks on the Kenai Peninsula. Let me know is you
require additional information.
Sincerely,
Karlen A. Kester L�
Recreation Director

!CEMAT ICE RINK FLOOR GRID SYSTEM
- rrl-.l.r .'v
The ICEMAT System is a proven method for
distributing brine cooling uniformly throughout an
ice rink floor. It is usable with ethylene glycol,
methanol or calcium chloride brines. Each section is
four feet wide with 50 sections required for a
standard 85 x 200 foot rink. The length can be fabri-
cated from 20 to 200 feet for any rink size or shape.
C 0 N S T 71C-N
The ICEMAT consists of small, parallel twin tubes
made of non -corrodible ethylene -vinyl acetate,
spaced 11;2 inches on center by a stiff spacer strip.
One end of the ICEMAT is connected to the supply
and return sub -headers. The other end is fitted with
small "U" bends. Each mat is factory pressure tested
as part of the final quality control procedure and
shipped with an air pressure test charge.
ICEMATS are simply rolled out on the prepared site
and sub -headers connected to the main brine supply
and return headers with simple hose connections. No
on -site fabrication or welding are required.
DATA CA1.lMAC
The brine flows in opposite directions within each
pair of tubes. This counterflow averages the
temperature of the brine over the entire length of the
tubing, maintaining an effective temperature that is
identical at every point. The result is completely
uniform. high quality ice with no soft spots.
The ICEMAT's low flow rates and small system
charge require minimum brine pump horsepower-7.5
HP for an 85 x 200 foot rink under normal conditions.
E;_iAEI '-.-
The non -corrodible ICEMAT material provides
desired weatherability, flex life, stress crack
resistance and low temperature toughness. A
damaged tube can be quickly repaired with parts and
tools supplied with the spare parts kit without
shutting down the system.
The ICEMAT System is warranted for three years
from start-up.
HEATNMAT SUE-rf OOR HEATING SYSTEN,r1
A PPL.
The HEATMAT System is a proven method for heat-
ing a rink's sub -floor to prevent freezing of ground
water under the ice slab and the resultant expansion
which could cause ice unevenness or even extensive
heaving and damage to the rink floor. It distributes a
brine solution to prevent the flow of natural heat to
the ice which, even with insulation, eventually will
cause the ground underneath to freeze. A standard
HEATMAT section is four feet wide by 94 feet long.
They can be fabricated for any rink size and shape.
- =. _ _
The mat is made with non -corrodible ethylene -vinyl
acetate twin tubes spaced 12 inches apart by a rigid
plastic strip. The tubes connect to the PVC supply
and return headers supplied with the HEATMAT.
HEATMATS are simply rolled out over the graded
sub -base. "U"-bends are anchored near the rink curb
and the other ends are connected to the supply and
return headers which are factory fitted with connec-
tion nipples. The header is field assembled using
CATA CALMAC
SHEET ,-
PVC couplings and PVC solvent cement. All
necessary hardware and instructions are supplied.
The HEATMAT is covered by one to two inches of
Type M Styrofoam or equivalent which in turn is
covered by two inches of sand and then the ICEMAT.
1pEOA71C%
The HEATMAT uses the compressor reject heat from
the ICEMAT system chiller to warm the brine to
approximately 40-50F. The brine is circulated
through the HEATMAT grid by a Yz HP pump.
The non -corrodible HEATMAT material provides flex
life, stress crack resistance and low temperature
toughness. Dozens of HEATMAT Systems have been
operating without leaks for up to 12 years under rinks
and cold storage warehouses. Adequate heating can
be accomplished with every other or every third tube.
However, mats are cesigned with tubes on 12 inch
centers to provide redundancy.
`P14PQANTV
HEATMAT is warranted for three years from start-up.

supporting structures for use with the Calmac
ICEMAT Ice Rink Floor Grid System. They provide a
strong, attractive perimeter for seasonal and year-
round outdoor and indoor rinks of any size. ICE -
LOCKS can also be used to build a rink in an existing
building without major alterations.
DESIGN
Straight ICE -LOCK modules stand 45 inches high by
8 feet long with corner sections designed for a 28-
foot or 20 degree radius. Access gate sections are
included for public skaters, hockey teams and
resurfacing machinery. All Dasher Boards include
their own header box within the steel framework.
Once bolted together, ICE -LOCK Dasher Boards
become a monolithic structure with the ice, capable
of withstanding the roughest skater or puck impact.
CONSTRUCTION
ICE -LOCKS are constructed on a sturdy welded
structural frame of 11/4 inch by 2'h incn rectangular
steel tubing protected with blue rust -resistant paint.

In any covered rink a wide temperature difference exists between the
warmer ceiling above and the colder ice surface below. The ceilina is warmec
by the sun and the outdoor temperature, by lights, body heat, and the
normal heat rise in an enclosed arena. Since heat always transfers from a
warmer to a cooler surface, this ceiling heat, in the form of infrared energy
continuously radiates down to the ice below. Because this infrared radiatioi
is invisible and cannot be felt, its importance is easy to ignore. The fact is,
however, that the amount of heat radiated to the ice is substantial and can
account for 35 to 45 percent of the daily refrigeration load of an indoor i 'nl
The onfypracticai way to reduce the amount of heat radiated from the c
to the ice is to change the emissivity of the ceiling. Emissivity is the measure
of a material's ability to radiate heat. The most desirable ceiling for an ice rink
1P at
Wculd be one whose surface has zero emissivity. Common ceiling surface
materials, such as wood, paint, varnish. insulation, glass and brick. however.
nave emissivities oetween 85 ana 95 percent.
An ALUMA-ZORB Ceiling Curtain, with an emissivity of 4 to 5 percent, will stop
95 percent of this energy -robbing heat radiation to the ice surface. It consists
of a tough laminate of bright aluminum fcii, fiberglass scrim, and vinyl backing
which is suspended from the ice rink ceiling on lightweight wire cables. The
curtain and cables are run at right angles to each other, and the curtain is
sirrniy draped over the cables and secured at each end by an adjustable
"sf .n" system. Experienced installation crews are available or it can be
done by rink personnel or volunteer help. Slits may be cut in the curtain to
accommodate lights. sprinklers and other obstacles.
Only the ALUMA ZORB Ceiling Curtain
can offer these exceptional design features:
1. Stops infrared heat radiation
The aluminum foil used in ALUMA-ZORB cLralns has an
emissivity of only 5 percent at 70F. This effec :vely blocks
virtually all heat radiation to the ice surface. As a result,
brine or evaporator temperatures can be raised as much as
5 degrees and the compressor operated fewer nours per day
to maintain desired ice temperature and harcness.
2. Reduces refrigeration energy
requirements by 25 to 40 percent
The actual savings from an ALUMA-ZORB L:,,r Emissivity
Ceiling Curtain will vary with each installation.. Refrigeration
capacity, location ano season of the year ail lave a bearing
on its effectiveness. However, the savings frc , drastically
reducing the radiant heat problem, coupled witn the additional
advantages that the curtain provides, have resulted in total rink
energy cost savings from 20 to 33 percent annually for past
users -enough to pay for the cost of the curain. including
installation, in one or two years for most rinks.

3. Eliminates moisture condensation
The heat that is no longer radiated to the ice stays above the
curtain, keeping the ceiling temperature aroura 70F. Conversely,
a rink ceiling without the ALUMA-ZORB Curaln has a
temperature of approximately 50F which is near the dew point.
The engineering basis for our product
The radiant heat flow from the ceiling to the !ce sheet can be
calculated by the application of the Stefan -Boltzmann equation
Thus, if the air inside the arena becomes humid, water will
condense on the cool unprotected gelling and dripping and
wet ice will occur. This condition cannot be solved by ventilation
because the introduction of outside air only aggravates the
problem when the weather outside is mild and humid.
Eliminating wetness also prevents rust and rot and helps
preserve the rink structure.
4. No ceiling painting
The periodic painting and cleaning of unprotected ceilings
to improve appearance and prevent deterioration is completely
eliminated. This can be a substantial saving in material and labor
costs and rink down time. Once installed, the ALUMA-ZORB
curtain requires no maintenance.
5. Reduces lighting requirements
The highly reflective surface of the ALUNIA-ZORB curtain
also reduces the number of lighting fixtures required. Light
bounces back and forth between the painted ice and the
metallized curtain in a reflective action which minimizes glare
and shadows and improves the overall appearance of the rink.
6. Improves acoustics
The nature of the ALUMA-ZORB Ceiling Curtain material
results in a substantial acoustical improvement in rinks where
the volume or quality of the sound in the arena are objectionable.
7. Withstands puck impact
Because of the material's high tensile strength and the curtain's
slightly draped method of installation to absorb impact, an
ALUMA-ZORB gelling is highly resistant to hockey puck
damage. The ceiling's modular design and tension bar method
of securing curtain ends simplify replacement and/or repair
of any section.
---= The tension bar consists of an 8-foot extruded
aluminum base arc four 2-foot snap -in
aluminum inserts. A protective rubber strip in
,ne insert nobs the ALUMA-ZORB Curtain
securely in dace.

Major expansion of users is expected due to availability of facility y. Many new markets are
available in the Kenai Nikiski area as well as the rest of the peninsula.
Presently the rates for ice through out the state run from S110.00 to S125.00 per hour.
The present rate at Soldotna is S116.00 per hour. Open Skating is S4.00 per person .
adults and $3.00 per person kids. No revenue has been projected for open skating.
Soldotna presently charges 52200.00 per day to rent the entire facility.
The proposed rate at Kenai is $500.00 to $700.00 per day.

PROPOSED STANDARD PRACTICES FOR ICE HOCKEY RINKS
12th Draft, April, 1992
Since its inception, the game of ice hockey has evolved as a result of
a convergence of ideas from Canada, the United States and Europe. As
a result of differing influences, there are a wide variety of playing
facilities currently in use, accompanied by wide disparities in margins
of safety provided to players, game officials, and spectators.
The purpose of this standard is to reach a common ground in the interest
of player, official and spectator safety, by providing guidelines for
the design and construction of the playing facility. Standardization,
proper configuration and practical application will help to minimize
potentially hazardous conditions in existing and new ice hockey rinks.
The integration of these elements into a comprehensive standardized design
is intended to facilitate continuity of play under practice and game
conditions and provide a measure of conformity that will lend itself
to safer environment for players, game officials and spectators.
Consideration has been given to the design of the rink, specifically
the lucauion of the players' benches, the penalty benches, and tfie off-
ice minor officials' bench. The recommended design is the required
International Olympic Committee design and is favored by on -ice officials'
organizations as the most desirable design to speed up the progress of
the game.
It is recognized that ice hockey rinks are also used for figure skating,
speed skating, pleasure skating, and for the sport of Broomball.
Organizers of those sports may adopt the present standard as written
or modify the standard in accordance with their special interests.

1. SCOPE
1.1 This standard practice refers to facilities used in the sport
of ice hockey and is intended to standardize game conditions and establish
guidelines that will provide a level of conformity to reduce potential hazards
o players, game officials and spectators.
2. TERMINOLOGY
2.1 Definitions:
2.1.1 Ice hockey rink - a playing surface consisting of a horizontal
ice surface surrounded by a vertical enclosure used for the sport of ice
hockey .
2.1.2 Enclosure - That part of the rink which surrounds the
perimeter of the ice surface and consists of a lower section, the kick plate,
that contacts the surface of the ice, the boards, and a vertical extension
above the boards, the glass. Together, these three elements are intended
to confine the area of play.
2.1.3 Kick plate - that portion of the boards which contact the ice
surface, made of a high impact material and is also part of the playing
surface.
2.1.4 Boards - a wood or a plastic coated wood, fiber glass or other
high impact material that is also part of the playing surface.
2.1.4.1 Board cap or railing - a wood, plastic, or plastic -coated
wood material 76.2mm (3 in.) +/- 25.4mm (1 in.) in width, attached at right
angles to the top of the boards.
2.1.5 Glass - a transparent, shatter resistant glass, plastic or
similar material that is also part of the playing surface.
2.2 Game lines
2.2.1 Center line - a red line 300mm (12 in.) in width that divides
the ice surface into two halves, drawn at right angles to the long axis of
the playing surface ( Figure 1 ) and extends up to the top of the boards.
2.2.2 Goal line - a red line 51mm (2 in.) in width drawn parallel
co the center line 3.65m (12 ft.) min., 4.5m (15 ft.) max. from the end of
the rink across the entire ice surface ( Figure 1 ) and continuing up to
the height of the boards.
2.2.3 Blue line - a blue line 300mm (12 in.) in width drawn parallel
to and 18.3m (60 ft.) from the goal line ( Figure 1 )and extending up to
the top of the boards.
2.2.4 Goal crease - a red line 51mm (2 in.) in width originating
from a point 300 mm (12 in.) from the outside of each goal post extending
outwards towards the center of the rink ( Figure 2A ).
2.2.5 Face-off Circles,and Face-off Spots - red lines as per figures
2A and 2B.

THE IMPACT OF AMATEUR SPORTS IN ALASKA
THREE EVENTS: 1991

Executive Summary
Amateur Sport events and competitions can generate significant net
economic benefits for host economies. The major impact of amateur
sports on the local and regional economy is an increase in amenity
values enjoyed by the citizenry. Amateur sports provide a wider
variety of experiences for the population; sports programs and
competitions improve the quality of life.
In addition to the amenity value of amateur sports, being a venue
for national and regional sports tournaments and contests brings
additional spending into the local and regional economy. This
added spending generates additional income for the local economy,
which is subsequently generates additional spending. The net
spending that takes place as a result of regional, national and
international sports events take place because of two reasons.
First, Alaskans are less likely to spend incomes outside the state,
which generates an additional infusion into the local economy.
Secondly,.' and most importantly, amateur sports events and
competitions bring visitors (athletes, coaches, families of
athletes, spectators, fans and news media people) from outside
Alaska which generates additional spending.
During the summer of 1990 research was conducted and a model was
built hypothesizing the impact of three sports events that were to
place during the Spring of 1991. These events were the 1991
United States National Masters X-country Skiing Championships, the
1991 U. S. Junior National X-country Skiing Championships, and the
1991 U. S. Precision Skating Championships. The results of that
research, based upon the expenditures of tourists, indicated that
the impact of those three events was $2,824,000. This estimate
of economic impact was based upon the expenditures of tourists and
an estimate as to the length of stay of the sports event visitors.
The events, themselves, provided an excellent mechanism to test the
impact model. During the events participants and visitors were
surveyed as to their expenditures, the length of stay in Anchorage,
and their perceptions about Anchorage and Alaska.
The results of the survey indicated that the sports visitors tended
to spend less than tourists, but stayed somewhat longer in the
state than was hypothesized in the model. Using the same model,
but updating with the data collected and analyzed from the survey,
the economic impact of the three events was $2,650,000. This
compares with the hypothesized impact of $2,824,000 for the three
events.
One component of the impact that was picked up in the survey was
the impact of these events on air transportation expenditures.
Just over 55 percent of the sports visitors purchased their ticket
through local travel agencies. This expenditure had a positive
impact on the economy, as did the additional spending that was
generated by having more people use the air transportation
industry.
An attribute of the impact of national sports championships held
in Anchorage that came out of the survey was the level of
enthusiasm generated in the participants about Alaska as a tourist
destination. Most of the sports visitors were favorable impressed
with their visit to Alaska, and almost 95 percent of the first time
visitors maintained that they would like to return to visit Alaska
as a tourist destination. The potential for sports events in
generating additional tourism is certainly a spinoff from holding
amateur athletic competitions.
Using the data generated in this most recent study, along with
increased knowledge, should provide a more informed basis for
making estimates as to the economic impact of sports events. In
the spring of 1992 the Nordic Ski Association of Anchorage is going
to host the World Masters Cross -Country Skiing Championships.
The 1991 World Masters event was held in Italy, where 1100 skiers
attended. It is not clear as to how many skiers the 1992 event
will attract to Anchorage. Over the past year, with an increase
in the number of international carriers now overflying the USSR,
most of the international passenger carriers have pulled out their
passenger service from Anchorage. This will probably increase the
transportation costs into an out of Anchorage for the typical
European skier. If 700 skiers, along with 300 companions and other
people associated with the championships, attended the World
Masters Championships, the economic impact would be approximately
$1.5 million. This estimate assumes the per capita expenditure
that resulted from the survey conducted with the three events that
occurred during the spring of 1991.
1
The 1990 Stud
In the summer of 1990 the Institute of Social and Economic Research
completed a study quantifying the potential economic impact of
several amateur sports events that are going to be held in
Anchorage in 1991. These events included the U. S. Masters
National X-Country Skiing Championships (held between March 3, 1991
through March 9, 1991), the U. S. Junior National X-Country Skiing
Championships (held from March 10, 1991 through March 18, 1991),
and the U. S. National Precision Skating Championships (held
between April 3, 1991 and April 9, 1991).
The model that was used to estimate the economic impact (total
impact of these events was estimated at $2.8 million) of these
events assumed that the visitors who attend these events exhibit
expenditure patterns that are similar to the expenditure pattern
of the typical tourist. There is no reason to believe that the
typical sports event visitor engages in expenditures that are
similar to tourists, and there are a multiplicity of reasons to
expect that they are different. The primary reason is that
participants and visitors for each sports event are a more
homogeneous group with specific characteristics, as opposed to the
typical tourist. The data on tourist expenditures was used
primarily because of there was not better data available.
During the spring of 1991 the three events actually took place,
which provided a chance to test the data upon which the $2.8
million economic impact was calculated. We surveyed all the
participants of each of the events, providing them with a diary in
which they could keep track of expenditures in Anchorage during the
event. This study was similar to the diary study that the Alaska
Department of Tourism uses to visitors to Alaska.
Each of the three sponsoring organizations of these events were
contacted,. and they provided access to the participants through the
registration packets. A diary, as well as an explanation of our
research was placed in each competitor's packet. Each diary was
supplied with a stamped envelope, so the participants could return
the information. Each diary was coded, so it was possible to do
a follow-up to increase the sample size.
The project included the testing of the diary, the production of
approximately 500 diaries, and inserting the diary into the
participant packets. There was a follow up of approximately 100
packets. of the 600 or so diaries that were produced,
approximately 90 returned, which is a fairly good response for a
mail survey in which the recipients respond.
There are some observations, which need to be cleared, about the
differences between actual economic impact of the events (in an
expost sense) and the projected impact (exante). It is relatively
easy for organizers of an event to inadvertently over estimate the
`A
number of participants for the event. This is not done with any
malice or intent to purposely inflate the impact. It comes more
from wishful thinking on the part of the organizers. Typically
these events, (this is true with these three events) are run by
volunteer organizations and they have little information on which
to base their estimates. They have information about attendance
at these same events when they were held in the lower 48. However,
when the venue changes to Alaska the costs of transportation by the
participants increases. This increase cost is a deterrent for
participants. on the other side there is the allure of traveling
to Alaska. The organizers make estimates, usually assuming that
the number of participants will be less than the event which was
held in the lower 48, but there is a significant amount of
uncertainty about what the impact of these two facets of the
decision have on attendance. For example, it was estimated that
the attendance at the U. S. National Master's X-country Skiing
Championships would be approximately 250 skiers from outside Alaska
would travel to the event. In reality, only about 100 skiers from
the lower 48 traveled to Alaska. This reduction in the number of
participants will reduce the economic impact proportionately.
Another unknown is the length of stay for the participants. In the
previous study it was assumed that participants would arrive for
the events one day prior to the event, and leave immediately after
the event. With the three events this spring the length of stay
for the event participants was somewhat longer. Part of this may
be that athletes feel that they need more time to adjust to long
flights and changes in time zones. Additionally, since most of the
people that attended these events were visiting Alaska for the
first time, they stayed a bit longer to have a change to engage in
tourist activities.
3
Previous Consumption Expenditures
In the previous study expenditure estimates based upon the typical
tourist were used for calculating the impact. One would expect
that the typical tourist is probably different from the typical
sport event participant, therefore using the tourist expenditure
is an additional source of error in calculating the economic
impact. The amateur sports visitor travels for a specific event,
and probably have different income levels from that of the typical
tourist or business traveler. Sports event participants may be
more constrained by income and be inclined to share expenses,
double up on housing. Amateur sports competitors may rent vans and
other types of transportation that are significantly different from
the typical tourist. Additionally, the sports may be closely
knit groups of people who know each other well, and therefore board
in private homes. All things considered, there are significant
limitations to using tourist spending data in estimating the
economic impact of sports events. Using the actual expenditure
information, along with an accurate count of the participants, with
the impact model that was developed in 1990, should provide much
better and more defensible estimates for the actual economic
impact. This impact would be a much better measure, in that the
expenditure information, as well as the number of visitors would
be a more accurate number.

Survey Results
There were approximately 2300 participants who traveled from the
lower forty-eight states to participate in the three events held
in Anchorage during the spring of 1991. There were approximately
1600 people involved in the precision skating event and the two
skiing events brought approximately 700 persons.
Of the approximately 2300 participants 83 surveys, representing
855 persons, were usable. This represents somewhat over one third
of all the population, which is extremely high for self -returned
mail survey. Of these surveys, 19 were from teams, and 64 were from
individuals. The reason for the large number of returns is that
the team returns covered a relatively large number of persons.
Each of the Jr. National ski teams have upwards of 40 to 50
persons, and the Precision Skating teams were also relatively
large. One return from a team covered the expenditures of a
significant number of people. The Masters event was not a team
event, those diaries were for individuals only.
For purposes of the survey there were five groups surveyed. These
were as the Master Skiers, who would include the participant
(competitor or official), possibly along with a traveling companion
or spouse. The Jr. National Teams who would include all the
competitors, coaches, and official chaperons ---eight teams traveled
to Alaska: Then there were the Jr. National parents, who traveled
to the event, though were not part of the event (the count here is
very tenuous). There were the U. S. Precision Skating Teams
(including athletes, coaches, and official chaperons). Finally
there were parents, national officials, judges, training judges and
other individuals who attended the Precision Skating event who were
not officially part of a team.
Each participant in the Masters Ski event received a diary in their
registration packet, as did each Jr. National team and each
Precision Skating team. In the diary for each of these teams and
participants inquiry was made as to the number of visitors to the
event that were not officially part of the team. For instance,
some parents of Jr. National skiers or Precision Teams skaters
traveled to Alaska, and would not be officially recorded as
attending the event, Data on the number of visitors who attended
these events who were not team members and participants is sparse.
It was hoped that each team would have a reasonable
estimate as to the number of parents who also attended the event.
Event organizers were able to give accurate numbers participants,
coaches, officials, judges, but the number of parents and other
visitors is less precise. The number of visitors who were not
officially part of the event is thought to be relatively low,
compared to the number of participants, though important for
purposes of calculating economic impact

Three Events: Snorts Visitors Expenditures
The per capita expenditure data from the survey is presented in
Table 3. It is interesting to note that the average per capita
expenditure is $91.12, as opposed to the $96 expenditure figure
used in the previous study. The other sharp characteristics about
the expenditure patters are the difference in expenditures between
the five different groups of sports visitors. The most frugal
group, in terms of expenditures, were the participants in the U.
S. Masters X-Country skiers, who spent $66.79 per day. This group
spent more on food in stores, and less in restaurants and for
housing than any of the other groups. It is interesting that the
participants in the Jr. Nationals spent more on a per capita basis
than did the Master skiers, by almost $20 per day.
Part of this may be explained by the fact that the Jr. National
skiers stayed together as teams, and there was not much chance to
buy food at the store to save money. Additionally, the Jr.
National skiers are all young adults, who probably were not
providing their own financing for the expenditures. The literature
in economics is rich with insights to the impact on expenditures
of having third party payments.
In general, the skaters spent significantly more than the x-country
skiers. The group that were the highest spenders were the parents
(non -participants) of the Precision skaters, who spent $101.60. The
Precision skaters' parents spent, as did the members of the
Precision teams, significant amounts in the gift and souvenirs
category, as well as higher amounts in restaurants.

Travel Expenditures
In all three events there were just over 2400 persons who traveled
to Anchorage from outside Alaska. The average expenditure on air
fare was $483.40. Of this number, just over 55 percent purchased
their airline tickets from travel agencies in Alaska. Travel
agencies assist event organizers in facilitating the event, some
providing actual cash contributions. Event participants are
channeled to the travel agencies by the event organizers, and in
many instances can offer special discount fare. Travel agencies
receive a commission on the fares that they sell. Assuming that
the commission is 7 percent and that the air fare for the three
events was $1,175,000, these commissions would amount to an income
to the travel agencies of $45,276. This added income to the
travel agencies could then be considered an expenditure for
purposes of the economic impact.
In addition to the share of the ticket going to the local travel
agencies, the actual events brought actual expenditures in the air
transportation industry. As more people fly into Anchorage the
airlines spend more on resources, such as crew layover expenses,
maintenance, added fuel expenditures, and etc. It is arguable
whether or not the expenditures for events such as these merely add
marginal transportation expenditures (the planes would be flying
into Anchorage anyway, so the addition of one more passenger is
added without a great deal of cost), or add the average
transportation expenditures (treat the expenditures as though
there are additional flights into Anchorage just to serve the
specific events. Economically, the former case is more defensible,
however more difficult to estimate from an empirical standpoint.
Treating increased transportation expenditures from an average cost
perspective is easier, and does have economic validity.
Assuming that the typical airlines plane that flies into Anchorage
is a Boeing 727, with a capacity of 120, twenty plane
trips would have been attributable to the three events
additional trips are
the participants to
be 40 round trips
Anchorage, and then
reasonable to ass
dovetailed into the
d 4- b
These
assume o e round trips, in that they carry
and from Anchorage. In actuality, there would
as the planes would drop people off in
return to pick them up. However, it is more
ume that these flights would have in someway
regular flight schedule.
The added costs that would be spent in Anchorage would be
added crew layover expenditures, additional expenditures on routine
maintenance, additional fuel expenses, additional landing fees,
additional in-flight meals, additional ground crew expenses, and
etc. These additional expenditures are attributable to the three
events, and would have a multiplier effect, as would the
expenditures in hotels and restaurants.
If it were assumed that each flight generated $10,000 of additional
n
�
expenditures, the twenty flights would generate an additional
$200,000 of expenditures in the local economy. For purposes here,
this is amount of expenditures would be roughly 15 percent of the
ticket revenue generated by the fare. This is an area that needs
additional research, and will be expanded later.
Thus, it appears that the air fare expenditures generate
significant additional spending in the Anchorage economy. The
three events, based upon the above assumptions generated over
$200,000 of additional expenditures in the local economy, which
would then go through the multiplier process.

NonEconomic Impact
In the survey a two qualifying questions were ask about visitors
perceptions of their visit to Alaska. visitors were ask if this
were their first visit to the state, what their impressions were,
and if they planned to return. This will be the only visit that
some of the sports visitors to these events will ever make to
Alaska. Alaska, in the minds of many, seems to be a very long
distance away from the rest of the United States, and these sports
events are an explicit reason for visiting. For many the concept
of traveling to Alaska is tantamount to traveling to Europe or some
exotic destination. The impact of holding sports events in Alaska,
may be to dispel the idea in the minds of visitors that Alaska is
at the "end of the earth."
Of the total visitors from these three events, almost 86 percent
stated that this was their first visit to Alaska. Of those
answering the survey question on their intention to return to
Alaska, almost 97 percent stated that they would like to return to
visit Alaska again. Many said they would like to come back in the
summer time. Ninety one percent of the total respondents said that
their experience in Alaska had significantly changed their
perceptions about Alaska.
In terms of enthusiasm about Alaska, only 6 percent of the visitors
came away with a negative impression about their visit to Alaska.
Of the ninety-two percent remaining, 51 percent of the visitors
were very enthusiastic and the remaining 43 percent were somewhat
neutral about their impressions.
The anecdotal qualitative information was somewhat informative,
and all very positive. In addition to marveling the mountain and
scenery from town, several of the visitors marveled at the
facilities that Anchorage has available to hold events such as were
held this spring. Apparently, the 1990 U. S. Precision Skating
Championships were held in Houston, and several people mentioned
that the physical layout and the proximity of several rinks close
together (Ben Boke, with two rinks, is located next to Sullivan
arena). Also, Kincaid Park was touted as being one of the top five
x-country skiing areas in the world. It was said of Kindaid and
Anchorage "they don't set ski tracks in Anchorage, they manicure
the ski trails." The volunteers and organizing committees of all
three events received rave reviews.
While the impact is difficult to quantify, holding events like
these has the potential of promoting tourism, in general. In
addition to the visitors who are stimulated to return, the sports
visitors who are favorably impressed with their experience here
disseminate the information. Alaska is demystified and the mind -
set and perception that Alaska is a great distance from America is
somewhat dispelled. Although this is difficult to quantify, the
impact is surely positive.

conclusions
The economic impact of the three events that were held in Anchorage
in the spring of 1991 was approximately $2.6 million dollars.
These events brought additional spending into the local economy
which had a multiplier impact and further expanded income.
This impact, compares with the estimates of the economic impact
made in the study published last summer. The projected economic
impact in that study was approximately $2.8 million. The
differences between the calculated actual impact and the projected
impact are attributable to differences in the expenditures and
differences in length of stay. Visitors stayed a bit longer than
was projected, but spent a bit less in the local economy.
Additionally, expenditures of visitors in the air transportation
industry were not taken into account in the earlier study. This
expenditure is significant, and more work needs to be done in this
area.
In addition to the economic impact, there is the impact of
implanting the concept of Alaska in the mind and psyche of over
two thousand people who had never traveled to Alaska before. These
events should positively impact tourism in the long run by making
Alaska seem closer to the rest of the United States. People, once
they have' traveled to Alaska, come to realize that it is not the
end of the world. There is a whole mind set that a visit to Alaska
is likely to over come. Hosting events, such as the three events
that were hosted this spring, will do much to overcome this mind
set.

Dear Masters Competitor:
The Institute of Social and Economic Research at the University of
Alaska Anchorage in conjunction with the Alaska Amateur Sports
Authority is currently studying amateur sports in Alaska.
The focus of a portion of our research agenda is to determine the
impact of amateur sports events on the economy of Anchorage and
Alaska. The purpose of this research is to determine the extent
it might be in the interest of local and state government to
promote more amateur sports competitions. In doing so, one of the
major areas of inquiry is in the expenditures that are made in the
local economy by visitors to amateur sports events. By visitors,
we mean either participants in the sports event, coaches, fans and
family of participants, and media people who travel from "outside"
of Anchorage and Alaska to a sports event in Alaska. We would
appreciate very much your assistance in this research effort.
Enclosed is a two page survey, which includes a diary in which we
would hope you would volunteer expenditures you and your guests
incur while you are participating in the 1991 National Masters
Cross Country Skiing Championships. Of course, all information
collected in this survey will be confidential. Also, enclosed is
a postpaid envelope to return the survey results to us.
We wish to thank you for your time and cooperation in this research
effort. Additionally, we hope you enjoy your experience here and
leave Anchorage with pleasant memories. Thank you very much.
Sincerely yours,
Pershing J. Hill, Ph.D.
Associate Professor of Economics

8. In the diary on the following page would you please estimate
the amount spent in Anchorage for each of the following expenditure
categories on a daily basis. This would include all the
expenditures for every person in your traveling party. If it is
easier to report total expenditures for a particular expenditure
category as opposed to a daily expenditures (for instance if you
rented a car it might be easier to report a total figure) we have
included a total expenditure at the beginning of the expenditure
category.
Thank you very much for your time and consideration. The
information you have provided will be extremely helpful to our
research effort.
