JOHN J. WILLIAMS, MAYOR ATTEST: Carol L. Freas, City Clerk Introduced: Adopted: Effective: Approved by Finance: (9/13/94)kl September 21, 1994 October 19, 1994 October 19, 1994 MEMORANDUM TO: Charles A. Brown, Finance Director FROM: Keith Komelis, Public Works Director DATE: September 12, 1994 SUBJECT: Site Assessment, Lots 13 & 14 CHAP Please prepare an ordinance appropriating funds for Lots 13 & 14, Cook Inlet Industrial Air Park Site Assessment, 1994. Cleanup of the site is required according to AS46.04.020. A site assessment will determine the amount of soil, major contaminants, media of interest, and site geography. Following is a cost estimate: Professional Services $35,000.00 Contingency (10%) 3,500.00 Administration 1,000.00 $39,500.00 MEMORANDUM Date: October 121 1994 To: Mayor Williams and Kenai City Council Through: Kim Howard, Acting City Manager Through: Keith Kornelis, Public Works Diector From: Jack LaShot, City Engineer Rachel Clark, Engineering Te hnician Subject: Lot 13 and 14, Cook Inlet Industrial Air Park Site Assessment, 1994 On September 271 1994, two bids were received for the above mentioned project. Enviros, Inc.'s proposal was for $34,246.10. GeoEngineers, Inc.'s proposal was for $29,880, of which $8,880 was for a geophysical magnetometer and electromagnetic survey to detect buried drums. The survey was not required by the RFP. Both proposals were missing or unclear on a few items, and additional information and corrections were made. The corrections did not cause a change in Enviros, Inc.'s proposal price, but resulted in a $6,580 increase for GeoEngineers. The final proposal price for Geoengineers is: Original Price $ 29,880 Geo. Survey - 8,880 Changes + 6,580 $ 27,580 While the geophysical survey was not required in the RFP, Phase I information may indicate that this type of survey could provide invaluable information. It could also help to persuade a potential buyer that all sources of contamination have been removed from the property. The Public Works Department would like to recommend that the contract for this project be awarded to GeoEngineers, Inc. for the price of $27,580, with the understanding that the survey costing $8,800 may be justified in the future. We recommend that the ordinance 1606-94 remain at $39,500, in the event that a geophysical survey becomes necessary. SUGGESTED BY: CITY MANAGER City of Kenai RESOLUTION NO. 94-64 A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, SUPPORTING NATIONAL UNFUNDED MANDATES WEEK, OCTOBER 24-30, 1994. WHEREAS, unfunded federal mandates on state and local governments have increased significantly in recent years requiring cities and towns to perform duties without consideration of local circumstances, costs, or capacity, and subject municipalities to civil or criminal penalties for noncompliance; and, WHEREAS, federal mandates require compliance regardless of other pressing local needs and priorities affecting the health, welfare, and safety of municipal citizens; and, WHEREAS, excessive federal burdens on local governments force some combination of higher local taxes and fees and/or reduced local services on citizens and local taxpayers; and, WHEREAS, federal mandates are too often inflexible, one -size -fits - all requirements that impose unrealistic time frames and specify procedures or facilities where less costly alternatives might be just as effective; and, WHEREAS, existing mandates impose harsh pressures on local budgets and the federal government has imposed a freeze upon funding to help compensate for any new mandates; and, WHEREAS, the cumulative impact of these legislative and regulatory actions directly affect the citizens of our cities and towns; and, WHEREAS, the National League of Cities, in conjunction with other state and local government representatives, has begun a national public education campaign to help citizens understand and then reduce the burden and inflexibility of unfunded mandates. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, that the City of Kenai endorses the efforts of the National League of Cities and supports working with NLC to fully inform our citizens about the impact of federal mandates on our government and the pocketbooks of our citizens; and, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City of Kenai will redouble its efforts to inform and work with members of our Congressional delegation to educate them about the impact of federal mandates and actions necessary to reduce their burden on our citizens. PASSED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, this 19th day of October, 1994. ATTEST: H. Raymond Measles, Vice Mayor Carol L. Freas, City Clerk October 20, 1994 �-1 �g 1" O Senator Ted Stevens Senator Frank Murkowski Representative Don E. Young Re: Unfunded Federal Mandates Dear 2": Enclosed is a copy of City of Kenai Resolution No. 94-64, supporting National Unfunded Mandates Week, scheduled for October 24-30, 1994. This resolution was passed by the Kenai City Council during their meeting of October 19, 1994. The Kenai City Council has a very strong opinion that unfunded mandates impose harsh pressures on local budgets. Those pressures are ultimately forced on the taxpayers, either by reduced local services and/or higher local taxes and fees. The cumulative impact of federal legislative and regulatory requirements directly and adversely affects the citizens of our community. Federal mandates require compliance without consideration of local circumstances, costs, or capacity. The City of Kenai's financial standing at this time is stable. Unfunded mandates from the federal government will eliminate that stability very quickly. Your continued help, cooperation and interest will be greatly appreciated.

Hood Mayor, Orlando, Florida Executive Director Donald J. Borut I am writing to enlist your community's support and active participation in this year's NATIONAL UNFUNDED MANDATES WEEK, scheduled for October 24-30, 1994. Our purpose is to reduce the burden of unfunded federal mandates on our cities and towns, and on our local taxpayers. To succeed in this effort, we need your leadership and assistance. We must continue to increase the public's awareness about mandates and organize at the grass -roots level to force the federal government to respond to our concerns. Dealing with unfunded mandates has been a top NLC priority for many years. Last year, thousands of you took part in National Unfunded Mandates Day on October 27, 1993. That effort had a significant impact on Congress and the White House this year. Although some said it could not be done, we now have bi-partisan support in Congress for federal mandates relief legislation. Clearly, our efforts are making a difference ... but we must keep up the pressure on our national legislators to ensure concrete action at the federal level. That's what this year's NATIONAL UNFUNDED MANDATES WEEK is all about. This year's campaign is designed to continue to educate our citizens about the impact of unfunded mandates on local budgets and to organize grass -roots support for a significant change in / OCTOBER 24 - 30, 1994 \ c0$TL.Y CrAUnON MANDATES IS _COSTLY \'""�/ National Unfunded Mandates Week ""�"/ how the federal government develops and implements laws affecting local governments. For this year's campaign, I am asking you do to do three things: 1) Write to Congress. Modify the sample mandates letter on the next page and fax it to the members of your Congressional delegation -- immediately. 2) Schedule events during National Unfunded Mandates Week. Pick two days during the week of October 24-30 for anti -mandates public awareness activities; use one day to educate your citizens about mandates, and use one day to educate and get commitments from your Congressional delegation and candidates for Congress about mandates. Citizens and those who aspire to represent citizens in Congress need to know what unfunded mandates are, who really pays for them, and how they impose growing and severe financial and administrative burdens on cities. 3) Let your state league and NLC know what your plans are for National Unfunded Mandates Week. We all know that solutions to the unfunded mandates problem will not appear overnight. Our efforts during the past year have made a difference, and we must continue to build momentum. Your active participation in National Unfunded Mandates Week will continue the education process and send a clear message to Congress that our resolve on this issue is as strong as ever. I have enclosed a variety of materials to help you get started with your local efforts. Please join me in this important campaign! Sincerely, Sharpe James President Mayor of Newark Enclosures P.S.

THERE WAS NO OBJECTION, MOTION PASSED. 4. PERSONS SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD None S. OLD BUSINESS Jahrig asked if there was any new information regarding the Cone/Cunningham property. Kornelis said there was nothing new, he wrote a memo to Council outlining the three possible grants and he will have it put in the next Harbor packet for information. 6. NEW BUSINESS a. Bluff Erosion Jahrig said for those that weren't already aware of it, part of the bluff °sluffed" off at Mission Street. Page 2 - Harbor Commission October 10, 1994 Minutes Kornelis said there would have to be something done to permanently close the road yet leave access for the residents and the church. He said it is important to keep vehicle traffic off the road. Kornelis said there is a sewer line that will have to be relocated next summer, it's approximately 15' from the crack in the road. Spracher asked for clarification of where the road is closed. Kornelis said from Jahrig's place to the church. Bookey asked Kornelis about the water line. Kornelis said the water line is on the other side. Bookey said there is a manhole only 5' from the bluff by the coast guard light. Kornelis said that goes to the lift station and that's not where the stuffing problem is. Bookey said it could be next. Kornelis said he is more worried about the immediate danger right now. Jahrig said part of the problem might have been caused by the big mud puddle there by the sign. He said the water just sits there stagnant and leaches into the bluff. Jahrig added he tried to get the city to fill the hole. Kornelis said that wasn't the problem. He said there was an extremely high tide and 10 - 12' waves that knocked the bluff off. Bookey added he just finished a job at Tesoro (north) and it was totally ruined by the same high tide and wind storm. Kornelis said the city dock also received some damage that we'll have to repair. Jahrig asked if a grant could be applied for. Kornelis said the Corps of Engineers won't even look at it. He said the Corps won't get involved unless it's a one to one cost ratio and it has to be public land, not private. Jahrig asked how the Homer Spit got the Corps' help. Kornelis said that was a long time ago. The Corps won't get involved in dredging harbors anymore because once they dredge, they end up taking over responsibility of doing it all the time. Spracher asked if seeding would help. Jahrig commented that the only thing that will help it is putting more of a slope there by putting walls of rock up. Bookey said that probably wouldn't work in this instance because of the river working so hard against it, it would eventually erode the rock and the rock would fall down. Spracher commented there were a lot of trees blown on shore from the storm and they caused damage too. Bookey said the river is strong there because of the turn it has to make and it will keep getting worse. He said the Mayor found some information (in some 100 year study) that the projected stop for the Kenai River is about where the Kenai Mall is. Bookey said the city doesn't have the money to even begin to take on a project like this. Page 3 - Harbor Commission October 10, 1994 Minutes Jahrig commented that Barrow and Bethel (smaller communities) seem to get money for these kinds of projects. Kornelis said a lot of these are state run and owned harbors. Bookey said Kornelis and Bill Brighton have been trying for years to get something done but the Corps has not been cooperative. Kornelis added they won't even do any dredging in the river. McCubbins said eventually nature will change the channel of the river. Spracher suggested cutting a new channel through the flats for the river to use. Jahrig said that's a good idea. Kornelis said it has been discussed before but the cost wasn't even feasible. Kornelis said this problem has no easy or cheap solution. There was some discussion of different areas that has lost land to erosion. 7. INFORMATION a. Thank you letter to Freden & Zimmerman b. Note to Swede re: timer switch for lights Kornelis said he and Swede discussed a security light on top of the shed that stays on all the time and putting a lock on the other lights so Snug Harbor can turn them on when they need them. Spracher suggested a motion light. Kornelis said that is a good idea, he will look into the cost of a motion light. Kornelis said Swede is putting a sloped roof on the storage sheds and new siding. C. Buoy Permits, letter from Kornelis 8. DISCUSSION None 9. COMMISSION COMMENTS & QUESTIONS Jahrig said he will be out of state from November 1 to November 21, 1994.

DIRECTOR'S REPORT Emily DeForest reported the Friends of the Library purchased a C-D tower to go with the computer and video displayer that was purchased last year with the ARCO Grant. Chris Monfor presented money to the library which had been donated in memory of Betty Leonard for a tree in memorial park. After purchasing a tree, there was money left which was donated with the suggestion a replacement globe be purchased in Betty's memory. The Commission agreed this would be a good idea. Emily will be attending a leadership training in Wasilla the end of October. Last month the library added 144 new adult patrons. Library Commission October 4, 1994 Page 1 7. OLD BUSINESS a. Intellectual Freedom Workshop Kathy Heus asked those who had attended their feelings about the workshop. Bob Peters felt it was very informative. He did not realize how big an issue this had become and he felt the library should update their policies and procedures due to the information he attained at the workshop. Vince O'Reilly agreed that the workshop was an eye opening experience regarding legal and community situations that might arise. He also felt that a procedure should be developed and incorporated before citizen's complaints occur. If a policy is not followed, any action or inaction the Commission or Library Staff takes could put them in a position of censorship. The main concerns O'Reilly would like the Commission to address in light of the workshop were: 1) review status of Commission in light of Council; 2) put the policies in effect to address items of concern; 3) establish whether the commission is in a position of final authority and if so, what are the legal ramifications to the commission members. Kathy Heus responded to O'Reilly's comments by stating that the commission was advisory only, according to the Kenai Municipal Code (KMC). The commission could have input into decisions that would effect the library, but the City Council would have the final decision. Bob Peters said the Goals and Objectives should include establishing policies and procedures for complaints, including a provision for appeal of any decision to Council. Vince O'Reilly agreed and felt the procedures should be established when concerns are raised to object to what and what is not in the library. The policies and procedures should follow the provisions of the Freedom to Read Act. Carol Brenckle agreed that policies should be established in writing for complaint hearings. The Library Bill of Rights should also be considered when drafting these policies. Kathy Heus said the policies and procedures should cover all aspects of the library. But having a written policy, where specific steps are spelled out and followed for every incident to avoid problems should be a priority. A committee had been formed at a previous meeting consisting Vince O'Reilly and Janet awn to draft a policy and procedure statement for the Emily and the Commission to review. Library Commission October 4, 1994 Page 2 b. Library Policy Review Covered under previous discussion. c. Other Kathy Heus asked if there were other items for discussion. There were none. 8. NEW BUSINESS a. Review of Council Work Session Emily DeForest reported that the Council had held this session because there had been some problems regarding city boards, commissions, etc. The Library Commission was not specifically discussed. However, due to a high rate of absences on other commissions, etc., the Council will institute the provision of three absences and members will be excused from their position. b. Next Meeting Date The next meeting will be November 1st at 7:30 p.m. c. Other Kathy Heus asked if there were other items for discussion. There were none. 9. COMMISSIONER'S COMMENTSIGIUESTIONS Kathy Heus reported the Friends of the Library are planning their annual tea for January. This change is so the Friend's memberships would run from January to December. Janice Rodes felt that censorship would be an important issue in the future and the commission may wish to explore the implications censorship may have on the local library. Vince O'Reilly noted it was a good meeting and there was a lot of tangible work ahead of the commission. Library Commission October 4, 1994 Page 3 Carol Brenkle noted an address change and said she had not received a packet or agenda. She suggested the people who work on the draft policy and procedures take into consideration due process. 10.

Amy Eriksson - City of Kenai Video Eriksson stated this was the second version of the video and that she was open to suggestions. She said she will be meeting with the committee next week to make a final decision on the voice. Mayor Williams called an "at ease" so everyone could watch the video. The video was approximately 20 minutes long. It was suggested that some of the recreational shots and school bus shots could be removed to shorten the video. NOTE: Prior to beginning Public Hearings, Mayor Williams addressed the crowd which was there to discuss the news of two halfway houses possibly being opened in Kenai. Williams stated that City Council would not discuss the matter this evening. He stated the procedure begins with the Planning & Zoning Commission, which is where the public should appear to testify. Williams said the Townsite Historic Board will hear this issue on October 11, 1994. Williams stated that property owners within 300 feet of the property being discussed at P&Z would receive written notice of the meeting dates. He said the Toyon Villa discussion will take place at the P&Z meeting on October 12, 1994. The 4th & Spruce project will be on October 26, 1994. Any questions about procedures could be addressed tonight, Williams said; but any other discussion should take place in front of P&Z. ITEM C: PUBLIC HEARINGS C-1.

KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING OCTOBER 5, 1994 PAGE 5 OF 14 Councilperson Swarner asked Sue Carter how many more times the Visitors' Center is going to ask the Council for more money. Carter stated this is the first time this year. She also said her concern is for maintaining the building which the city owns. She said the Center is now open six days a week seven months per year and seven days a week five months per year, and it is only being cleaned once a week. She said that is not sufficient to keep the building clean. She said the staff tries to keep it up; but with 9,500 square feet of carpet, it's just too much. Carter also said the Visitors' Center increased its budget by $5,500 to pay for increased staffing for the facility to keep it open longer hours. Swarner asked if utilities will be running higher because of the extra days open. Carter said she didn't know for sure. She said the building is very economical to operate and she doesn't believe the utilities will be affected by the added day. She stated that as of September 31, 1994, 53,358 people have visited the Center. She said their budget is $198,000 per year; and the City gives $75,000 of that amount. The remainder is raised by the Center itself. Bookey stated that one of the reasons the extra day was added to the Center's schedule was to allow people who work during the week to visit the Center on Saturdays. VOTE: Williams asked if there was any objection to unanimous consent. No objections. SO ORDERED. C-6. Resolution No. 94-62 - Declaring the Following Equipment, Supplies and Material Surplus or Obsolete. MOTION: Councilperson Measles MOVED for approval of Resolution 94-62 and asked for unanimous consent. Councilperson Smalley SECONDED the motion. Councilperson Bookey stated that all the items on the auction list are low cost items except the grader. He said he is worried that the grader won't bring the price it should. Bookey asked if HEA is joining the City in this auction. Kornelis answered that HEA has expressed an interest but has not provided a list of equipment. Bookey said the more equipment that's in the auction the more bidders there will be and the better prices we'll get. Kornelis said he had planned on putting a minimum bid on the grader of $30,000 or $35,000. Bookey said that would be good. VOTE: No objections to unanimous consent. SO ORDERED. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING OCTOBER 5, 1994 PAGE 6 OF 14 C-7. Resolution No. 94-63 - Transferring $8,000 in the Congregate Housing Enterprise and for Additional Repair and Maintenance. MOTION: Councilperson Swarner MOVED for adoption of Resolution 94-63 and asked for unanimous consent. Councilperson Smalley SECONDED the motion. No discussion. VOTE: No objections. SO ORDERED.

Council on Aging No report. D-2. Airport Commission Measles stated there is a meeting scheduled for October 13. He said the Commission is short three members. Mayor Williams pointed out the application of Joel Kopp for a commission position and asked how people felt about putting him on the Airport Commission. No objections. SO ORDERED. D-3. Harbor Commission No report. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING OCTOBER 5, 1994 PAGE 7 OF 14 D-4. Library Commission DeForest stated their meeting was held last night. She said 144 library cards were given out to new residents of the City of Kenai. Williams stated the official census for Kenai is about 6,800, but he believes there are about 7,500. D-5. Parks & Recreation Commission No meeting. Director McGillivray stated the regular scheduled meeting is set for Tuesday, October 11, 1994. He said he will be leaving Monday night for the P&R conference so he would like to change the meeting to the following Monday. Council gave its approval. Williams asked about the status of the ball fields. McGillivray stated they are close to being finished. Williams said they are looking very good. D-6. Planning & Zoning Commission Smalley stated the agenda was in the packet, and he went over it briefly. D-7. Miscellaneous Commissions and Committees Townsite Historic Board - Williams asked for a council member to be a regular liaison to this Board. Measles stated he will attend the next meeting. Also, Mayor Williams stated that he will be on his Russia trip on the date of the next council meeting and asked Vice -Mayor Measles to chair the City Council meeting. ITEM E: MINUTES E-1. Regular meeting of October 5, 1994. Approved by consent agenda. ITEM F: CORRESPONDENCE None. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING OCTOBER 5, 1994 PAGE 8 OF 14 ITEM G: OLD BUSINESS 1. Discussion - Schedule Work Session to Prioritize Goals & Objectives List. A work session was scheduled for Tuesday, November 1, 1994, beginning at 7:00 p.m. in the council chambers. 2. Discussion - Inlet Woods Settlement. City Attorney Graves said the proposed settlement is basically what was discussed in the last executive session. He stated that a recent title search revealed the federal tax lien has not been cleared, but that the McLanes claim to have paid it. He asked Finance Director Brown to give a brief rundown of the numbers. Brown said that the overall loss to the city, after all the property is sold and given all the risks of holding and disposing of land, is approximately $150,000 (which is about 950 on the dollar). MOTION: Councilperson Measles MOVED to accept the settlement as drafted on the condition that the tax lien be cleared first; he asked for unanimous consent. Councilperson Smalley SECONDED the motion. VOTE: No objections. SO ORDERED. 3. Discussion - City Newspaper Advertisement. Smalley stated that the last time this ad ran he received many good comments on it; it appeared to be useful to the citizens. MOTION: Councilperson Smalley MOVED to update the information in the ad used last time and run a half -page ad twice this year. Councilperson SECONDED the motion. Bannock suggested that it also be run at least once in the other local paper --the Dispatch. Williams suggested that Administration research the price of a half -page ad in the Dispatch. He said, if it doesn't cost any more than the Clarion, run the ad in both papers (once in the Dispatch and twice in the Clarion). (See further discussion in Clerk's Report.) KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING OCTOBER 5, 1994 PAGE 9 OF 14 VOTE: No objections. SO ORDERED. ITEM H: NEW BUSINESS H-1. Bills to be Paid, Bills to be Ratified MOTION: Councilperson Smalley MOVED to pay the bills. Councilperson Swarner SECONDED the motion. VOTE: No objections. SO ORDERED. H-2. Purchase Orders Exceeding $1,000 MOTION: Councilperson Measles MOVED to approve purchase orders over $1,000. Councilperson Bookey SECONDED the motion. VOTE: No objections. SO ORDERED. H-3. Discussion - Kenai Jr. Achievement Project/Purchase of Advertisement Space. MOTION: Councilperson Swarner MOVED that the City purchase a square on the Monopoly game board for $200. Councilperson Smalley SECONDED the motion. VOTE: No objections. SO ORDERED. ITEM I: ADMINISTRATION REPORTS I-1. Mayor Regarding water system improvements, Williams stated there is a potential for $3,450,000 total; however, most of that is uncertain. The "hard dollars" available are approximately $1,500,000. Williams said what he needs to know is the number to give the legislature as a "must" to get for the City for water and sewer. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING OCTOBER 5, 1994 PAGE 10 OF 14 Williams also stated, "The Administration appears to have us moving in a very good direction ---back into water and sewer pretty heavy; we're back into our loop lines; we're back into this water well business." He said the City needs to now look at the problems of the animal control building and acquiring money for the Dolchok paving project. Williams said he would like the City to approach the legislature on behalf of Habitat for Humanity and ask for a "pass -through" grant in the amount of $121,739 to put in streets, water, sewer and utilities for six lots. I-2. City Manager Manninen said that at the EDD Board meeting last week in Seward he learned of some grants that may be available to the City. He said Administration is already in the process of applying for two of the grants for the Cone/Cunningham Park projects. There is also a new one called the "EDA Competitive Communities Grant" and may have from $500,000 to $3 million available. Administration is also researching that and will come back to Council in time for the goals and objectives meeting. Manninen said the volcano interpretive center was also discussed at the EDD Board meeting. He said he and the Mayor are setting up a meeting with the Lake Clark people for later this month. Manninen asked council members if they wanted to move ahead with this project; they said yes. Manninen reported that his staff is developing an emergency spill response procedure and will have it ready in the next few weeks. He said non -locking fuel nozzles will be installed at the city garage. I-3. City Attorney Graves said the fact that the Seward bed tax was thrown out shouldn't affect Kenai's bed tax because the court held that Seward didn't follow proper procedure and they dedicated the tax --neither of which Kenai did. I-4. City Clerk Acting City Clerk Paulsen stated that absentee ballots will be counted on Tuesday, October 11, at 10:00 a.m. in council chambers. Acting Clerk Paulsen asked council if they planned to reschedule the November 16, 1994 KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING OCTOBER 5, 1994 PAGE 11 OF 14 council meeting because of AML. After a brief discussion, it was decided to reschedule the meeting to Wednesday, November 23, 1994. Bannock stated P&Z will need to hold their meeting in another room that night. Acting Clerk Paulsen asked council if they still want to make the $200 donation to Kenai Peninsula Healthy Communities even though the presenter did not incur the expected hotel costs after all. After a brief discussion, council directed the clerk to send a letter to Kathy Scott stating that since there were no hotel expenses the City withdraws its donation at this time. Acting Clerk Paulsen asked council if they would like to run a newspaper ad during National Volunteer Week in April, 1995, listing members of city commissions, committees and boards. Smalley stated it is a good idea to recognize these people occasionally and people like to see their names in print. Williams suggested asking the newspaper to do an editorial or an article about the committees and commissions --who they are and what they do for the city. Measles said we should do the same thing for the city's half -page informational ad. Acting Clerk Paulsen read into the record a telephone poll taken on 9/28 and 9/29: At the request of the Acting City Manager, the Public Works Department requests Council approval to transfer $5,000 from Water - Contingency to Water - Improvements Other Than Buildings and to issue a purchase order to Kraxberger Drilling for $5,000. This transfer and purchase order is for additional drilling, test pumping, and screen placement for a new exploratory well. The vote on the telephone poll was: Williams -unavailable; Measles -yes; Bookey-no; Smalley -yes; Swarner-yes; Bannock -yes; and Monfor-yes. I-5. Finance Director No report. I-6. Public Works Director Kornelis stated DEC did an inspection on the water and sewer in Thompson Park on October 4, 1994. The lines have been approved, he said, and he expects an operating permit sometime this week; so they should be able to start tieing in the water and sewer lines by Monday (October 10) at the latest. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING OCTOBER 5, 1994 PAGE 12 OF 14 Kornelis pointed out Information Item #5 (cost estimate on the Basin View paving project). He said he has the full report with him and will have copies available. Williams asked council if the city should try to get this paving money from the state. Smalley stated this project should be on the capital grants list because the citizens came forward and asked for it. Williams agreed. Kornelis reported that he and Mayor Williams attended a meeting on September 26 regarding the Chester Cone Project and Cunningham Park Upgrade. A summary of that meeting is in the packet at Info #13. I-7. Airport Manager Ernst reported the airport signage project is complete as of September 30, 1994. The airport now has new names on the secondary taxiways. ITEM J: DISCUSSION Citizens None. J-2. Council Bookey: The City Manager did not report on his trip to ICMA in Chicago. Also, he asked why the fire chief went on the trip to Chicago. Manninen stated there have been several joint projects over the last ten years between the ICMA and the police and fire chiefs' associations. This meeting had a certification program for fire departments. Manninen said it was a good opportunity to exchange information with other city administrators. Bookey said he still didn't agree that it was necessary for the fire chief to go and be there for a week. Bookey asked Kornelis if the safety plan project had been started. Kornelis stated a draft has been done. Bookey said it's very important to get it done because the supervision people in the field can be held personally responsible (financially) for problems if the safety plan is not in place. He stated that the Engineering Technician (Rachel Clark) was hired specifically to start this program; and he would like to see it started as soon as possible. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING OCTOBER 5, 1994 PAGE 13 OF 14 Swarner: On September 24 she attended the Healthy Communities Forum, and she is now involved in the life skills portion of that program. There will be a meeting for interested people on October 17 in the council chambers from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. Measles: Nothing. Bannock: He talked with Kathy Mayer at the Borough this week and thanked her for the good work being done at the transfer site. They put in trees and built a nice buffer; they responded well to the input from the city. Smalley: He said thank you to the City and the fire and police departments from Kenai Central High School for their assistance with the homecoming activities. Smalley stated his support of Bookey's comments about the safety plan because of the potential responsibility of city employees. At the P&Z meeting, Smalley was asked why the council has appeared to change its direction on the Cone/Cunningham Park projects. Why is the council going away from a boat landing and going to a boardwalk and looking at potentially closing the boat launch facility in Cunningham Park? He said he explained to them that the likelihood of any development in that area within the next several generations is not good. He also told the P&Z body that council had received information about the boat launch facility which made them aware that it is unsafe at present. He said he suggested people talk with the individual council members about it. Smalley stated that he is looking forward to working with the council and serving the community again for the next three years. Williams: He reminded Administration to look at Info #4 and remember the December 7, 1994 deadline regarding legislative priorities and capital improvement project list.

This replaces the former option of boroughs paying on an areawide basis and cities paying only a service fee. The plan will be phased in over five years, with dues for boroughs that had been paying on an areawide basis declining and the dues of cities within those boroughs increasing over that period. If you have any questions about how the dues were calculated, please feel free to call.

One P.O. is to Jahrig Electric for $5,000 for labor (installation) and the other is to Debenham Electric for $7,855 for a 600 transfer switch and relay and terminal boards. NC Machinery is going to check the generators cold starting problem so the electric heater (listed in Jahrig's proposal) is not included with the above P.O.'s. Jahrig said he might be able to install the transfer switch in the middle bay so we may not have to move the generator. He gave us a price of $7,150 to move the generator to meet OSHA safety requirements. This generator has been set up like this since 1967. Presently, the generator has to be turned on manually. Public Works has been trying to get some major work done on this generator for years. KK/kw JAHRIG ELECTRIC jOB P.O. Box 51 SHEET NO. 'Jn=WKKS DEPT.

The City of Kenai is purchasing these rolls for future use at $228 per roll. As you can see form the attached specification, the city (owner) is to purchase material not required on the job but specified in the specifications and delivered to the work. This is material left unused due to a change in the plans. Originally we planned on placing the road directly on top of the native soil (silt) and use this fabric. Instead, we stripped the silt off to the side and built the road on native sand. We used the silt on the side slopes and therefore we didn't need this filter fabric. The change made a better project. Unfortunately, the contractor already had the filter fabric on site. The cost of shipping, handling, and restocking makes it impractical to return so we must buy it from the contractor. Unfortunately, ADEC will not pay for it since it won't be used on the project. I tried very hard to convince ADEC that this cost should be grant eligible but they are firm in their denial. We can use it in the future and we are getting it at an excellent price. KK/kw WINCE-CORTHELL-BRYSON,,,, - 2,3 `� 3? CONSULTING ENGINEERS P.O.

In attendance were: Mayor John Williams, City Jim Butter, Attorney for Cone Keith Komelis, City Kathrin Sundet, ADF&G Jack La Shot, City Lance Trosky, ADF&G Rachel Clark, City Suzanne Fisier, State Parks Chris Titus, State Parks There were three sources of money that were the main topic of discussions for these projects. 1. Exxon Valdez Trustee Council Funds. All of the area affected by the oil spill: $600,000.000. 2. Alaska State Parks Marine Recreation Project: $ t8,000,000. 3. ADF&G Habitat & Restoration. State Legislative Grant for the Kenai River Restoration: S3,000,000. II. The acquisition of the Cone property has been applied for by Attorney Jim Butler, representing Mr. Cone. The funding source is the Exxon Valdez Trustee Council. Mr. Tronsky told me today that this acquisition is presently being evaluated by the Trustee Council and he thinks it is very positive. He said he thinks the city's involvement and the fact that the city will consider changing the zoning of some Kenai River Area property to Conservation has had a positive influence. The Cone property, if purchased through the Trustee Council Funds, would change ownership to the state. The State of Alaska would hold title or ownership of the rp oyerty. Page 2 Cone/Cunningham 9/30/94 III. The city is applying for three grants. At the time of the meeting we thought it would be two grants. The cost for the Cunningham Park upgrade went over the $500,000 maximum so we added a Phase II. 1. Cone Property, C I P Boardwalk, parking, restrooms, and engineering = $498,000 2. Cunningham Phase I Boardwalk, parking, restrooms, land, and engineering = $499,000 3. Cunningham Phase 11 Educational, miscellaneous, bank protection, and engineering = $278,000 The funds we are applying for are the Alaska State Parks Marine Recreation Projects. IV. General open discussion at the meeting: 1. No fishing on the Cone property. 2. Possible future tent camping on the Cone property. 3. Fishing at Cunningham. 4. No overnight camping at Cunningham. 5. Parking for both projects. V. Other items of discussion: 1. The state is very interested in the city changing the zoning on city owned wetlana areas near the Kenai River to Conservation. 2. The state retaining ownership of the Cone property but having the city do the capital improvements (with grant money) and maintain and operate the parks in the future. 3. A future memorandum of agreement with DNR. 4. Some of the questions left unanswered: a. Who pays for future CIP's parks? b. How long will city be responsible for O & M? Forever? C. Insurance? Liability? d. Long term capital replacements? 5. Discussions after the meetina included the selling of city owned lands (including islands) in and around the Kenai River. How do we arrive at value? Assessments? Appraisal? Maybe some of this money could be used to offset city 0 & M costs. Page 3 Cone/Cunningham 9/30/94 It was a good meeting overall, and many items were discussed "off the cuff.° Therefore, please do not take anything discussed as someones position. Some items were brought out for discussion purposes only. KK/kw CITY OF KENAI It Gil G'� 4 41 ►, 210 FIDALGO AVE.. SUITE 200 KENAI.

If acquired and developed through other sources of funding through the Alaska State Department of Natural Resources/Alaska State Parks/Alaska Department of Fish and Game Habitat and Restoration, the City of Kenai will negotiate a mutually-satisfactory/workable operations and maintenance plan to take over the ultimate park maintenance of both the Chester Cone project and the upgrading of the existing Cunningham Park facility along the Kenai River bank. There is a project meeting slated for September 26, 10:00 in the Kenai City Council Chambers. Mayor John Williams will be in attendence. Also, --ity staff members from the City of Kenai's Public Works Department and Parks and Recreation Department will be available (Keith Kornelis; Public Works Director, Rachel Clark, Engineering Technician, and/or Jack La Shot, City Engineer; Kayo McGillivray; Parks and Recreation Director). Furthermore, I understand that Lance Trasky, Regional Director for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game Habitat and Restoration Division will coordinate with Ron Crenshaw, Chris Titus and you for your attendence at this meeting. I'm sorry that I will be unavailable for this meeting as I will be out of town until :he 29th of September, at the annual ICMA Conference in Chicago, followed by a visit to my Number 1 grandchild, C.T. Felice in Port Huron, Michigan. However, I plan to be back in the City offices, Friday, September 30, 1994 and look forward to any input you may have on the City's proposal of this project. The City Council and the City staff are ecstatic about the possibilities of finally being able to have substantial project or projects to develop and preserve the "World Class" salmon habitat and fishery that is unique to the Kenai River.

M RE: Status of Chester Cane Proposal With the Exxon Valdez Trustee Council Snail Parcel Acquisition Program. Dear Mayor Williams: I would lice to provide you with a brief update on the status of Mr. Cone's propeny acquisition proposal and alert you to another issue which, I believe, the City of Kenai might be interested in. As you willrecail, the Alask&Depx mast of Fishand Gamerequested thatMr. Cone submit a proposal to the Exxon Valdez Trustee Council (the Council) requesting that the Council consider azc?jidng his Property under the small parcel acquisition program. The City of Kenai expressed their support of Mr. Cone's proposal with the unanimous adopnon of a resolution to the Council supporting the acquisition. In, a recent conversation with W. Lance Trasky, Regional Director of the Habitat Division at ADF&G. I was told W. Conds parcel has been well received with the Coumcii's staff reviewing acquisition proposals and that acquisition sites should be identified by late fall of this year. I also want to mention a program being administered by the Alaska Department of Natural Resources (ADNR) which is providing fiords for development of rcertanon sites in the Eon Valdez spill area. Timis aroglwn might program be of interest to the City since. should Mr. Cone's propeny be acquired, the parcel might be considered a suitable location for a DNR park site. It is my understanding that ADNR would be very u' =ested in working with the City of Kenai to develop a recreation site that would utilize Mr. Cone's property in amannerthat would bcncrit locai residents without damaging criticai habitat along the river. Although Mr. Cone has not received written evidence of the Statc's interest in purchasing his property, it would appear frost kzy agency officials that momentum is building in Mr. Cone's direction. I believe that if the City expressed as in=vst in the ultimate use and management of the property, acquisition, and, therefore, a decision on the possible location of a recreation site within the City, could be realized this fall. SUBSTITUTE RESOLUTION SUGGESTED BY: Mayor Williams City of Kenai RESOLUTION NO. 94-55 A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, SUPPORTING THE ACQUISITION OF APPROXIMATELY 100 ACRES OF CHESTER CONE RIVER PROPERTY BY THE EXXON VALDEZ TRUSTEE COUNCIL (EVTC) THROUGH THE EVTC SMALL PARCEL ACQUISITION PROGRAM FOR THE PURPOSE OF RESTORING AND PROTECTING HABITAT DAMAGED BY THE EXXON VALDEZ OIL SPILL AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY ADMINISTRATION TO WORK COOPERATIVELY WITH STATE AGENCIES AND APPLY FOR A GRANT OF UP TO $500,000 TO DEVELOP A PARK TO RESTORE RECREATION SERVICES IMPACTED BY THE EXXON VALDEZ OIL SPILL.

The Caucus was organized in 1987 for the general purpose of promoting the physical, social and economic well being of the Kenai Peninsula Borough. Its specific purposes may include, but shall not be limited to: charitable; benevolent; educational; civic; patriotic; political; social; and cultural activities. Voting members of the organization are representatives of Municipal Governments and Chambers of Commerce of the Kenai Peninsula Borough. An objective of the Caucus is to secure legislation at the local, state and federal levels which will be beneficial to inhabitants of the Kenai Peninsula Borough and to oppose legislation injurious thereto; but to remain non -partisan in the conduct of its affairs. The Caucus does not endorse candidates for elected or appointed positions at any level of government. Two weeks written notice must be given to each voting member of the Caucus before it may consider a legislative position or resolution. An act of the Board of Directors must be approved by at least 75% of the Directors present at a meeting. The intent of this bylaw requirement is to assure that any action taken by the Caucus will represent a substantial consensus of opinion within the Kenai Peninsula Borough. This brochure provides a synopsis of the legislative positions developed by the Caucus through input from municipal officials and directors of the local Chamber of Commerce organizations. Each position represents legislative recommendations of the Caucus. These positions will be actively lobbied for by the Board of Directors on behalf of its membership to the Alaska Municipal League, the Alaska State Chamber of Commerce, the Local, State and Federal governments. 10/8/94 DRAFT 1995 Legislative Positions Kenai Peninsula Caucus TABLE OF CONTENTS Part I Resource Development A Industry Development Forum B Oil & Gas C Tourism D Timber E Fish & Game F Coal Development Part II Education A Operating Expenditures B Bonded Indebtedness C School Construction Grant Program D University of Alaska Programs Part III Taxation and Finance A State Budget B Borough Budget Part IV Transportation and Public Facilities A Roads and Highways: Major Highway and Urban Road Priorities Local Road Priorities Transportation Enhancement Project Priorities Highway Safety Improvement Program Priorities State Highway Maintenance Facilities B Aviation C Marine Transportation Systems D Correctional Facilities E Health Facilities F Senior Citizen / Community Hall Facilities G Solid Waste Disposal Part V Land Use A Designation of Wilderness Areas B Wetlands Legislation C Nildsld Industrial Zone Page 3 3 3 4 4 4 7 8 9 9 10 10 10 11 11 11 11 2 10/8/94 DRAFT 1995 Legislative Positions Kenai Peninsula Caucus Id - PART I RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT A. INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT FORUM The Caucus supports an initiative of the Kenai Peninsula Borough to sponsor a forum to discuss the concerns of various industries and the public in dealing with competing interests arising from future resource development in the Borough. The Caucus encourages participation in this forum from representatives of the oil industry, commercial fishing organizations, the sport fishing industry, the forestry industry, the tourism industry, state and federal agencies and citizens at large. B. OIL AND GAS DEVELOPMENT 1. Arctic National Wildlife Refuoe. The Congress of the United States should open the Coastal Plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) to environmentally responsible oil and gas exploration, development and production. The State Administration and Legislature are encouraged to continue an all out effort in promoting opening of ANWR pursuant to terms of the statehood compact whereby 90% of the severance taxes would be shared with the State of Alaska. 2. Oil Exl2ort Ban. The federal ban on export of Alaska North Slope crude oil should be repealed. Lifting the oil export ban could create new investment for energy production, jobs in the maritime industry and add at least $86 million a year to the state treasury. 3. Promotion. The Caucus encourages the State of Alaska to promote responsible oil and gas exploration and development through: a. A stable taxation policy; b. Easing of permitting regulations to make possible the development of marginal discoveries and sub -economic oil accumulations; and, c. Dealing with critical habitat and fishing corridor issues prior to offering tracts for lease. 4. Oil Spill Contingency Plans. The Caucus encourages the State of Alaska to insist upon oil spill contingency plans which will take into consideration the unique geographic circumstances of each area where oil is transported by marine vessels. In other _words, plans developed for Cook Inlet must be tailored to the Cook Inlet area, rather than imposing a state-wide contingency plan modeled after plans implemented for Prince William Sound or for any other national/international area. 5. S, upWrt Natural Gas Ventures. The Kenai Caucus supports any meaningful endeavors which may remove road -blocks, aid in the search for U.S. and foreign markets, or develop practical, cost effective stipulations for construction of natural gas transportation and manufacturing projects within the Kenai Peninsula Borough. 6. Kenai Peninsula as a Pipeline Terminus. While the Caucus supports Valdez as a terminus for a pipeline from the North Slope, strong effort should be made to intertie the Kenai Peninsula, particularly the Nikiski area, with any natural gas pipeline which is extended from the North Slope. C. TOURISM 1. Marketing Plans. The development of tourism marketing plans is necessary to make Alaska and the Kenai Peninsula Borough a year around destination, but particularly in the fall, winter and spring. 3 10/8/94 DRAFT 1995 Legislative Positions Kenai Peninsula Caucus 2. State Funding. The legislature should appropriate to the Alaska Division of Tourism a sufficient budget for the continuation of its very successful state-wide marketing programs, including matching grants for Tourist Attraction Development and Visitor Information Services. In addition, the legislature should appropriate sufficient funds to the Division of Parks & Outdoor Recreation to develop facilities within the Kenai Peninsula Borough which have a demonstrated visitor value. 3. Borough Funding. The Borough Assembly should continue to appropriate a sufficient budget for the implementation of marketing plans to promote the Kenai Peninsula Borough as a visitor destination in joint venture with the Borough Economic Development District and its Tourism Marketing Council, local chambers of commerce and municipalities. D. TIMBER 1. Land Use Plans. A strong commitment must be made to timber management as a prime use in state and national forests and on property owned by the Kenai Peninsula Borough. Viable State and Borough timber sale programs should be developed with firm five year sale schedules to encourage and facilitate commercial timber harvest. 2. Spruce Bark Beetle. The Spruce Bark Beetle disease is threatening timber throughout the Kenai Peninsula. Federal, State and Borough natural resource agencies are encouraged to schedule timber sale and management programs specifically designed to eradicate this disease. E. FISH & GAME 1. Subsistence. The State Legislature is urged to resolve subsistence issues where they are conflicting with Federal law and the State constitution so that the state may retain control over management of Alaska fish and game resources. 2. Export Limits. The Caucus will oppose proposals to establish limits on fish and game which a sport angler may export out of Alaska. 3. Board of Fisheries. The Caucus recognizes and respects the authority of the Alaska Board of Fisheries to manage the fishery resources of the State of Alaska. Allocation decisions by the Board should continue to be based upon scientific and biological evidence which results in the sustained yield of the resource. The Caucus opposes any municipal or legislative action which would interfere with the Board of Fisheries' allocation process. F. COAL DEVELOPMENT 1. Tax Increment Financing. The State Legislature should amend tax increment financing statutes to enable Second Class Boroughs to sell revenue bonds for financing of public owned infrastructure necessary to coal development. 2. Strategic Plan. The State is encouraged to adopt a strategic plan which would make Alaska coal competitive with coal from other world markets. 4 10/8/94 DRAFT 1995 Legislative Positions Kenai Peninsula Caucus Id- PART II EDUCATION A. OPERATING EXPENDITURES 1 Constitutional Responsibilities. The Alaska State Constitution requires that the State shall establish and maintain a system of public education, open to all the children of the State. The Caucus supports the State's assumption of financial responsibility for "basic" education operating expenses. 2. Equal State Funding for Basic Education. The Legislature should establish a definition of "basic education" and establish an equitable funding formula that ensures this basic education is provided. Defining basic education is the key to development of a fair formula for state funding of education. The development of this formula should involve the municipalities or districts. 3. Local Autonomy. Full funding should not inhibit the rights of local government to supplement state or federal funding for education purposes beyond "basic needs" or to administer local schools. No mandates should be implemented without 100% funding from the State. 4. Forward Funding. The Caucus supports the use of "forward funding" to provide for basic education so that local governments and school districts will know how much funding will be available from the State prior to April 1st of each year. , 5. Funding Formula. The Caucus will oppose any funding formula proposal which mandates local sharing on a sliding scale based upon assessed valuation as a measure of 'ability to pay". Rather, the formula should attempt to 'equalize" expenditures per student. B. BONDED INDEBTEDNESS FOR SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION 1. Debt Reimbursement. The Caucus urges the State Legislature to establish a trust fund to fully fund the school debt reimbursement program at levels provided by statute under former programs of municipal school construction assistance in accordance with the State's responsibilities under the Alaska Constitution. 2. School General Obligation Bonds. If the State fails to establish a trust fund to finance school debt reimbursement, the Caucus supports placing a proposition on the ballot for the next state-wide general election which would enable the State of Alaska to sell its general obligation bonds to refinance all existing municipal school debt. - C. SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION GRANT PROGRAM 1. Funding. The Caucus encourages the legislature to formulate a construction grant program for schools to be financed by the state's general obligation bonds. 2. Local Priorities. School construction grants should be provided for those priority school construction projects identified by the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District. Priority Project Description 1 Central Peninsula Middle School 2 Kenai Elementary School 3 Nikolaevsk School Addition 5 10/8/94 DRAFT 1995 Legislative Positions Kenai Peninsula Caucus D. UNIVERSITY OF ALASKA PROGRAMS 1. Airline Fire Fighter School. The Caucus urges the University of Alaska to locate an Airline Fire Fighter School in Kenai. 2. Marine Research Facilities. The Caucus opposes use of existing funds of the University of Alaska for new marine research facilities at any location unless a comparable increase in appropriations is provided for existing facilities to preclude dilution of funding for the marine research facilities at Seward. 3. Universi y Research Vessel Docking Facilities. The Caucus supports the use of state funds to construct a docking facility in Seward for a new arctic research vessel. 4. Cold Water Training & Recovery School. The Caucus supports actions of the City of Kenai and the University of Alaska in locating a Cold Water Helicopter Training and Recovery School at Kenai Airport. PART III TAXATION AND FINANCE A. STATE BUDGET 1. State Operating Budget. The legislature should reduce the State's operating budget, except appropriations for existing local school debt service reimbursement should be maintained at 100% of the reimbursement entitlement and appropriations for highway maintenance should be restored to levels prevailing in 1986, adjusted for inflation. a. Where shared revenues are provided to local governments and school districts, the assistance should be conditional upon some degree of local tax effort. b. When reductions are made in municipal assistance, revenue sharing, school foundation assistance and other forms of local government assistance, equivalent reductions should be made in the total operating budget for state agencies. 2. State Capital Budget. The capital budget must never be less than the amount required to attract matching federal funds. The capital budget should give priority to projects which will minimize local government operating expenses -and promote economic development. 3. Alaska Permanent Fund. The State legislature is encouraged to place a constitutional amendment on the ballot for the next general election which would: dedicate all of the State of Alaska's future natural resource revenues to the Permanent Fund; transfer assets of the various state reserve funds to the Permanent Fund; and, specify a percentage of the market value of the Permanent Fund to be withdrawn and appropriated by the legislature for financing state government (aka the "CREMO PLAN" or a variation thereof). 4. State Mandated Local Tax Exemptions. If reimbursements to local governments for state - mandated local tax exemptions (such as the mandated property tax exemption for Senior Citizens and Disabled Veterans) are not fully funded, the exemptions should be repealed or made a local option. B. BOROUGH BUDGET The Caucus will communicate its positions by resolution on topics pertaining to borough financial plans, budget policies and local taxes. 6 1018/94 DRAFT 1995 Legislative Positions Kenai Peninsula Caucus PART IV TRANSPORTATION AND PUBLIC FACILITIES A. ROADS AND HIGHWAYS Priority should be given to highway improvements and maintenance on roads that connect population centers, serve as school bus routes, provide access to seaports, visitor attractions and economically viable resource areas. State appropriations for highway maintenance should be restored to levels prevailing in 1986 (adjusted for inflation) by increasing the motor fuel tax. 1. Transportation Study Committee. The Caucus urges the Borough to establish a Transportation Study Committee including representation from cities and chambers of commerce to formulate and update a Borough Wide Transportation Plan and nominate projects for funding from the Intermodel Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA). A share of the State of Alaska's ISTEA funding should be shared with the local governments of the Kenai Peninsula Borough to improve the Borough's collector routes and address other transportation needs, including safety projects, bicycle/pedestrian facilities and other projects which qualify as "transportation enhancements". 2. Additive Alternates. When bids are sought for highway and road projects, the Department of Transportation should include other priority projects in the vicinity as additive alternates in the solicitation so these projects may be accelerated if the base bid comes in less than estimates. 3. Transportation Financing. The Caucus supports placing a proposition on the ballot for the next state-wide general election which would enable the State to sell its General Obligation Bonds to accelerate financing for high priority transportation improvements. Debt service on these bonds should be financed from future federal highway aid appropriations and an increase in the State motor fuel tax. 4. Awl ajQr Highways and Urban Roads. The Seward Highway, Sterling Highway, Kenai Spur Road (from Sterling Highway to Captain Cook State Park), Kalifomsky Beach Road and the Bridge Access Road should comprise the system of major highways and urban roads on the Kenai Peninsula for which improvements should be designed and constructed by the State of Alaska. 5. Maior Highway and Urban Road Priorities. Priorities for the improvement of major highways and urban roads on the Kenai Peninsula are as follows: First Priority 1 Kenai Spur Road (Soldotna to Kenai) 2 Seward Highway (Summit Lodge to Tumagain Pass) 3 Sterling Highway (Anchor Point to Homer) 4 Kalifomsky Beach Road (Soldotna to Bridge Access Road) Second Priority 1 Seward Highway (MP 0 to MP 36) 2 Sterling Highway (Spur Road to Kalifornsky Beach Road - Soldotna Urban) 3 Sterling Highway (MP 30 to MP 60 - Cooper Landing) A project to provide lighting along the Sterling Highway from Sterling to Soldotna to mitigate moose -vehicle accidents is presently identified as a priority project on the State Transportation Improvement Plan.

State Highway Maintenance Facilities. relocate its Seward, Soldotna and Moose Pass compatible with land use plans for the areas. B. AVIATION The Caucus urges the Department of Transportation to Highway Maintenance Facilities to locations more The Department of Transportation and Public Facilities should update its Aviation System Plan to improve aviation safety at airports within the Kenai Peninsula Borough. Priority should be given to improved weather reporting, navigation and airport approach systems. The Airport Capital Improvement Priorities of the Caucus are as follows: Priority Project Description 1 Homer Runway and Taxiway Resurfacing 2 Soldotna Runway Resurfacing 3 Seldovia Runway Lighting and Paving 4 Seward Runway Extension 5 Seldovia Runway Extension 6 Land Acquisition for an Airport at Anchor Point 7 Kenai Airliner Fire Training Facility C. MARINE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS 1. Harbor Special Service Area. The Borough is urged to establish a special service area to serve as a "local sponsor" to operate and maintain boat harbors in the Anchor Point and Ninilchik areas in order to receive federal and state grants for the design and construction of small boat harbors in these areas. 2. Seward Ferry Service. The Caucus will oppose proposals to discontinue Marine Highway Ferry service to the City of Seward. 3. Marine Project Priorities. Marine Capital Improvement Priorities of the Caucus are: Federal Aid Projects: Priority Project Description 1 Seward Ferry Terminal and Dock Replacement 2 Homer Ferry Dock, Staging Area and Parking Improvements State Aid Projects: Priority Project Description 1 Anchor Point Salt Water Access and Small Boat Harbor 2 Seward Marine Industrial Center North Dock Addition 3 Homer Small Boat Harbor Float Reconstruction 4 Ninilchik Harbor Improvements 5 Seward Small Boat Harbor Replacement and Expansion 6 Seldovia Boat Haul -Out Facility 7 Williamsport to Pile Bay Road Connection 10 10/8/94 DRAFT 1995 Legislative Positions Kenai Peninsula Caucus D. CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES 1. Spring Creek. The Caucus encourages the State of Alaska to build a minimum security unit at the Spring Creek Correctional Center at Seward as soon as possible. 2. Wildwood. The Caucus urges the State to expedite the renovation and expansion of the Wildwood Correctional Center at Kenai as soon as possible. E . HEALTH FACILITIES 1. Nursing Care for Pioneers. The Caucus urges the State to use existing nursing care facilities (i. e: Soldotna's Heritage Place, Seward's Wesleyan Nursing Care Facility and Homers South Peninsula Hospital) before building any new Pioneer Homes in Alaska. 2. Seward Hospital. The Caucus urges the State to appropriate funds to the City of Seward for equipment and facilities at Seward General Hospital. F. SENIOR CITIZEN / COMMUNITY HALL FACILITIES The Caucus encourages the Legislature to make appropriations under the provisions of AS 37.05.16 to the Nikiski Senior Citizens, Anchor Point Senior Citizens and the Funny River Chamber of Commerce, Alaska non-profit corporations, to provide financing for Senior Centers and Community Hall Facilities. G. SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL 1. Waste DisQgsal Plans. The Caucus supports endeavors by the Borough Assembly to develop long range plans and to formulate Borough codes and regulations pertaining to both domestic and hazardous waste disposal. 2. Waste Disposal Facilities. The Caucus supports a legislative grant to the Kenai Peninsula Borough for the continued improvement of solid waste disposal facilities as they become identified and approved in the Borough's area -wide long range waste disposal plans. PART V LAND USE A. DESIGNATION OF WILDERNESS AREAS The Caucus opposes any further designation of "wilderness lands" within the Kenai Fjords National Park. B. WETLANDS LEGISLATION The Caucus opposes "no net loss" wetlands policies which would establish an absolute prohibition of any further use of wetlands in Alaska. Wetlands policies in Alaska should be governed by local zoning or coastal zone management programs. The Caucus supports rules that would provide an exception in Alaska from wetlands mitigation regulations that apply elsewhere in the United States. C. NIKISKI INDUSTRIAL ZONE An area for industrial uses should be set aside in the Nikiski area to facilitate the sale and development of property for uses that will create new jobs and economic activity. 11 10/8194 DRAFT Date: October 13, 1994 N- q SEw /ic/ F•o ;Q�- (v To: Keith Kornelis, Public Works Director �jRe 5'4 FET i Jack LaShot, City Engineer RX6 6 AA" , AC77'AJ6 C From: Rachel Clark, Engineering Technician �'V� 41P,o4 r6 Subject: Safety - Voluntary Inspection I spoke with Bob Carrier of OSHA - Consultation and Training Service today regarding a voluntary inspection for the Public Works Department. The inspection will be done at no charge, and should identify any areas where we are not in compliance with OSHA Codes. If non -compliant areas are found, they must be corrected. The company negotiates a time period to complete corrections (between 1 and 30 days, but it can be extended). For example, if someone had to write a complete plan, they would generally be given 90 days, as long as they were making significant progress. If any violations were found that caused immediate danger to employees, they would of course have to be corrected immediately. A 1 year exemption from compliance inspections can be granted, but no company in this state has ever met the qualifications. However, while we were working on correcting deficiencies, a compliance inspector would probably not be able to cite us for the same violation. The process generally takes 2-3 months. Do you want me to set up an appointment? MEMORANDUM Date: October 12, 1994 To: Mayor Williams and Kenai City Council Through: Kim Howard, Acting City Manager Through: Keith Kornelis, Public Works Director From: Jack LaShot, City Enginee^ Rachel Clark, Engineering T chnician Subject: Alaska Courthouse Site Contaminated Soil Remediation For: Council Meeting of 10/19/94 Approval of Contract Amendment All of the soil at the Courthouse has been washed, and approximately 7000 cy has been disposed of off -site. The Contractor is unable to remediate the remaining fines (750 cy) by the scheduled project completion date of September 30, 1994. The Contractor does not believe that he can remediate the fines until next summer. In consideration of the up -coming Site Assessment, we believe it would be in the best interest of the City to have the soil removed from the site. The Contractor would be fully responsible for transporting soil off -site, storing the soil until next summer, remediating it between May and June of 1995 and disposal of the soil before July 1, 1995. Liquidated damages could be assessed from October 1, 1994 to the day (assumably in the next week or two) the soil is removed from the site, and again next summer if they do not complete the project by July 1, 1994. If the maximum payment amount is raised to 90% of bid items two thorough thirteen, and the remediation and disposal of fines is approximately 10% of each item, after wastewater disposal and demobilization, the City should retain approximately $63,000.00 of the $312,095.00 contract. This should be more than adequate to clean the remaining 750 cy of soil if it becomes necessary. The Public Works Department recommends that Council make a motion for the City of Kenai to enter into Contract Amendment No. 1. CONTRACT AMENDMENT The Contract dated the 21st day of October, 1993, between the City of Kenai (City) and Glacier Environmental Services, Inc. (Contractor) for environmental remediation of the soil on Lots 13 and 14 of Cook Inlet Industrial Air Park (CIIAP), Kenai, Alaska, is amended as follows: 1. b. Contract Time and Liquidated Damages The date for full and final completion of the contract is September 1, 1995. However, liquidated damages may be assessed by the City for the time period of September 30, 1994 until the soil (all material remaining in the bioremediation pond, plus any soil contamintated through operations of the Contractor) is moved off -site in a manner approved by the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC). Additionally, liquidated damages may be assessed for the time period after September 1, 1995, if the Contractor has not achieved final completion. 2. Page 6 Paragraph 4 The Contractor may move the soil off -site prior to final remediation. Any soil moved off -site prior to final remediation shall be stockpiled in an ADEC approved manner. Page 6 Parag raph 5 After removal from the site, all soils will become the property and responsibility of the Contractor. The Contractor will assume all costs associated with moving, storing, treating or disposing the soil at no additional cost to the City. The Contractor shall indemnify and hold the City harmless from any costs or damages, whether direct or indirect, resulting from the moving, storing, treating or disposing the soils off -site. Under no circumstances is the soil to be returned to Lots 13 or 14, CIIAP. The Contractor will continue to remain obligated under the Contract as amended until final closure notice is received. 3. Paragraph d After the soils have been moved off -site, ADEC has approved a workplan for temporary storage and remediation, and the site (Lots 13 and 14, CIIAP) has been cleaned up according to the Contractors approved workplan, the City will pay up to ninety percent (90%) of bid items two through thirteen, based on the amount of work completed. Payment for item one, design services, will not exceed seventy percent (70%) until a final report and ADEC complete closure notice is received. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed, or caused to be executed by their duly authorized officials, this CONTRACT in five counterparts each of which shall be deemed an original on the date first above written.

Kentosh, CFA Interest -only STRIPS (I/Os) have produced substantial losses and adverse publicity throughout Ohio, as well as the rest of the country, beginning in 1991 and continuing into 1994. A number of counties, cities and school districts purchased these derivative securities (securities with characteristics and perform- ance based on other securities) in an attempt to earn better yields than were available from other more conventional instruments that they had previously bought. Unfortunately, these securities were soon to deteriorate in an unforeseen manner. Millions of dollars of invested principal were lost as the expected payment stream from the underlying mortgages dried up. Audi- tors forced several entities to write down the carrying value of the securities because of the material and unrecoverable impairment to their value. While a Treasury note or bond that may not be worth its original purchase price in vari- ous market environments will always mature at face value, the value of 1/0 STRIPS could not come back. I/Os explained. Interest -only STRIPS are created when a number of similar home mort- gages owned by various agencies are pooled together and a collateralized mortgage obliga- tion (CMO) is structured. This process of "bundling" mortgages allows underwriters to create a number of different securities, each de- riving their repayment characteristics from the original mortgage pool. Since different types of investors require different types of securities to meet their needs, underwriters structure cash flows from the pool of mortgages into unique securities (called tranches) designed to satisfy various investors. Some tranches (classes) have very short lives and fairly predictable cash flows, while others do not. Interest -only STRIP earnings come from the interest stream that is paid on the under- lying mortgages. As monthly mortgage pay- ments are made by homeowners, some of the interest component of the payment is directed toward the I/Os. Since the "life" of the underlying mortgages in the pools cannot be known (only estimated) at the time of investment, the total amount of in- terest homeowners will pay also is unknown. Therefore, there is never a specified amount (face amount) of interest that can be attribut- able to an 1/0 STRIP (see Exhibit 1). What ap- pears to the "principal amount" is a notational amount, or an estimate of how much interest could be received from the remaining mort- gages given prepayment assumptions. As mort- gages are paid off early through refinancings, the number of remaining mortgages in the pool continues to shrink, reducing the potential amount of interest receivable by the 1/0 investor. P/Os in brief The other portion of the monthly payment made by homeowners is principal. Princi- pal -only STRIPS (P/Os) also are created in the bundling process. Ownership of a P/O entitles the holder to receive a portion of the monthly principal payment. When mortgages are refinanced, all of the princi- pal outstanding on the loan must be paid. P/O holders know exactly what they will receive —they just do not known when. Holding a P/O would produce no loss of investment, although the rate of return could vary significantly, depending on how long the mortgages remain outstanding. What proved to be the major problem with I/Os recently is that a large number of mort- gages in the pool were repaid early as rates fell and homeowners rushed to refinance their debt. How this happened is shown by the follow- ing example of a FNMA 1/0 STRIP. This particu- lar issue was created in February 1988, from a pool of 8.5 percent 30-year mortgages. If the in- vestor bought a piece of this STRIP in January 1991, the mortgage pool had a factor of 0.81, which means that 81 percent of the original mortgages were still in the pool and paying monthly interest. Assuming the purchase of $1 million in notational value (expected interest (continued on page 5) ---� GAO holds discussions on derivatives_ I Databank The U.S. General Accounting Office (GAO) is studying the use of derivative financial instru- ments among state and local governments, pension plans and private industry. As part of its study, the GAO recently met with public officials in Chicago to discuss sales practices that derivatives dealers use when approaching public officials with derivative product propos- als. The GAO is particularly interested in learn- ing about sales presentations for over-the- counter (OTC) products, such as swaps, for- wards and options that are not exchange - traded. In addition, the GAO is trying to learn more about disclosures of risks and suitability issues and to determine how satisfied finance officers are with the dealers' current sales practices. The results of these discussion groups are confidential; however, the GAO will consider participant responses as it moves forward in studying the issues surrounding derivatives products. The GAO discussions come at a crucial time as news of public fund losses from deriva- tives investments continue to crop up in the media. One of the more recent accounts of significant losses involves a community college in Texas that lost millions of dollars in risky in- vestments. Apparently, Odessa Junior College had invested almost all of its cash reserves, approximately $22 million, in high -risk invest- ments that included inverse floaters and collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs). As interest rates rose, the value of the portfolio plummeted and the college was left with illiquid investments. The resulting financial crisis has forced the college to cut back on some of its programs, to reduce operating expenses and to increase property taxes and tuition.

Held Sripith Bamey, Inc Haiti has no economic impact Public Investor asked its panel of economists to comment on the possible effects of U.S. military activities in Haiti on the U.S. economy. In gen- eral, the panel foresaw no major effects from the current situation, but noted that intensification of the crisis might have some effect on the economy. Maury Harris expects a minimal effect on the economy and interest rates. Harris points out that the situation which could have the greatest effect would be some kind of quagmire, or refusal by Haitian leaders to leave on October 15. If this happens, the financial markets could react negatively and interest rates could rise. David Orr expects the impact of the Haitian situation to be similarly insignificant as the Panama and Grenada incursions. Orr notes that the consumer confidence polls might be affected by the events in Haiti. David Jones sees little im- pact on GDP growth. Jones finds that the Clinton White House seems to be having a negative im- pact on the U.S. dollar, which may result in up- ward pressure on U.S. long-term interest rates. Lacy Hunt also expects no visible effect on economic statistics by the occupation of Haiti. Hunt observes that things could change if fight- ing breaks out. Mitchell Held and John Silvia also expect very little impact.

Markets await next Fed action The markets were not taken by surprise when the Federal Reserve Board decided to hold short-term interest rates steady at their last meeting. The Fed has tightened short-term rates five times so far this year in an attempt to cool economic growth and head off inflation. The economy, however, has continued to grow at a healthy pace and inflation has remained rela- tively mild. Many analysts predict that the Fed will tighten rates, the only question is when. The next Fed action is expected to take place when the FOMC meets at its next meeting scheduled for November 15. Some analysts, however, speculate that the Fed may tighten as early as mid -October if economic data suggests the economy is overheating and inflationary pres- sures increase. -3- Moving averages 6-month Treasury bill discount yield 5.5% 5.4% 5.3% 5.2% r 4.9% —'f 4.8% 5.4 i 5.29 /5.21 i- 519 0 j* 29 Aug. 5 12 19 26 soot. 2 9 16 23 30 2-year Treasury note yield to maturity 6.6%—f- s.50- 6.5% 6. 10 6.4% 6.37 / B 43 6.3% 6.31 .,6.32 6.2%4, .-- _ - - s.24 ,r s.18'- 6.20 �- 6.1% �✓' 6.12 .IW 29 Aug. 5 12 19 Zb som 30-year Treasury bond yield to maturity 7.80% 7.82 •76 79 17.77 7.75% 7.70% 7.70 ,X7.ss 7.65% / 7.60% /f 7'62 7.55% / 7.49 � � 7 54 7.50% .�.

Moving averages are used by analysts to monitor trends and trend changes. Generally, interest rates are increasing (prices failing) when the moving average yield is rising and the current rate exceeds the moving average. Conversely, current yields below a declining moving average are associated with lower interest rates (higher prices on fixed - income securities)• Some market timers buy (or sell) longer maturities when current marKet yields fall below (or penetrate above) their moving averages. NASD acts on sales practice rules by Betsy Dotson The National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (NASD) has solicited its members' com- ments on proposed sales practice rules issued under the Government Securities Act Amend- ments of 1993. The law was enacted late last year and authorized the NASD and financial institution regulators to write sales practice rules for brokers and dealers who market federal government securities. To carry out its responsibilities under the Act, the NASD's Fixed Income Committee ap- pointed a subcommittee to review the NASD's sales practice rules and draft proposed amend- ments to its existing rules. GFOA submitted comments and recommendations to the NASD during this review process. The NASD Board of Governors approved the committee recommen- dation that a single set of NASD sales practice rules be adopted and that clarifications should be provided through board interpretations under the NASD Rules of Fair Practice (RFP). The NASD Notice to Members 94-62 re- quests member comment on proposed Interpre- tations of the Board of Governors to Article III, Sections 2 and 4 of the RFP. Comments were due by September 30, 1994. The first interpre- tation provides guidance to members on suit- ability obligations when making recommenda- tions in equity or debt transactions to customers that are institutional accounts. The second inter- pretation provides guidance to members re- garding the application of the NASD mark-up policy in debt transactions. That the concept of suitability should apply to all government securities transactions in the interest of investor protection was reaffirmed in the draft rules. However, guidance under this obligation as it applies to institutional customers was expanded. The proposed Suitability Inter- pretation would apply only to customers of insti- tutional accounts. Such accounts are defined as the account of 1) a bank, savings and loan as- sociation, insurance company or registered in- vestment company; 2) a registered investment adviser; or 3) any other entity with total assets of at least $50 million (emphasis added). In ad- dition, the proposal would be applicable not only to transactions in government and other debt securities but to equity securities as well. The proposed Suitability Interpretation as- sumes that institutional customers have inde- pendent resources and procedures with which to make investment decisions. The interpretation provides a list of examples as guidance to mem- (continued on page 6) -4- /Os (continued from page 1) ments) at a factor of 0.81 and at a price of 40 (0.4), the investor would have paid: $1,000,000 x .81 x .4 = $324,000 In February 1991, the investor received $5,739 in interest income, $5,718 in March and so on as payments were made. Exhibit 1 shows each of those monthly payments through Au- gust, 1994. The total of receipts so far is $173,275. Unfortunately, only 22 percent of the pool is still intact and generating payments, which were $1,602 in August 1994. The investor has not yet recovered $150,725 (324,000 - 173,275) of the original in- vestment. If the pool does not shrink any further through repayments, the remaining investment will take 94 more months to be recouped at $1,602 per month. But, the pool is shrinking as people make their payments and sell their homes. It is extremely unlikely that the remain- ing mortgages will be outstanding for the nearly eight years needed to recover the investment. The pool will not be replenished -the mort- gages that are paid off are gone forever, as il- lustrated by Graph 1. The remaining position, at an estimated current market price of approximately 35, is worth about $77,000: $1,000,000 x .22 (factor) x .35 = $77,000 When this instrument was created in 1988, the pool was intact, or had a factor of 1.0. By January 1991, the factor had declined to 0.81, a decline of 19 percent in three years. Now at 0.22. it has declined a further 73 percent in Graph 1 FNMA 1/0 STRIP 1991-94 Monthly Receipts/Total Receipts s6.0001 r, l I$200.000 $5.0001 ill!)

Why did some Ohio public -sector investors buy I/Os instead of Treasury notes? They expected higher returns. Given the prepayment assumptions of late 1990 and early 1991, many of the investors antici- pated earning better than 10 percent in what (continued on page 6) -5- /Os (continued from page 5) they thought was a guaranteed investment. In fact, it was a guaranteed investment by FNMA. What was guaranteed, though, was the princi- pal on the mortgages and the interest owed while the mortgages were outstanding. Cer- tainly FNMA never could have guaranteed inter- est payments on mortgages that were paid off! Underwriters and investors never foresaw the sharp decline in interest rates that would occur during the next several years and the incredible refinancing activity that took place. The basic problem with I/Os is not the inabil- ity to foresee the future with clarity. It is the na- ture of I/Os versus the needs of the public -sector investor. Those needs include the safety of prin- cipal and predictability of interest payments. These comments are not intended to imply that I/Os are "bad" or have no place in any port- folio. The much -publicized current problems and those of certain other mortgage -backed derivatives stem as much from their use as from the nature of the instrument. The return associ- ated with mortgage -backed products is a func- tion of many factors, but mostly interest rate movements and the subsequent prepayment ac- tivities of various pools. Investment in any instru- ment whose returns are unknown is speculative. Most public -sector investors are not specu- lators nor do they wish to be. The purchase of the Treasury five-year note in 1991 at about 7.5 percent was not speculative if the original inten- tion of the investor was to hold the note until maturity. The return of principal and the interest amount would be known exactly (except for the reinvestment yields on the semi-annual coupon payments). This type of investment is not speculative if it is intended to be held until ma- turity. There are a number of reasons most public investors stayed out of the 1/0 market. As shown above, the primary problem was associated with interest rate movements (commonly referred to as interest rate risk). Additionally, I/Os do not have the liquidity (ability to sell quickly near their par value) of Treasurys, they tend to experience extreme price volatility, and the return from the investment cannot be known until maturity or until the investment is sold. Few public investors would ever purchase a security if they thought their original invested amount was at risk. Kenneth R. Kentosh. CFA. is founder and chairman of Productive Portfolios.

It also discusses factors that should be present that provide reasonable grounds for believing that the customer is not re- lying on a broker's recommendation in connec- tion with a particular transaction or product. No safe harbor is created, and suitability will be judged on a transaction -by -transaction basis. The interpretation states that, where explicit guidelines are provided to the broker/dealer, it is reasonable to believe that the institutional cus- tomer is assuming responsibility for the suitability obligation traditionally held by the member. Con- sistency of recommendations with the guidelines then becomes an issue for consideration. The Mark -Up Interpretation promulgated by the board attempts to take into consideration the differences between the debt and equity markets in calculating mark-ups and mark-downs. Tradi- tional methods of determining prevailing market prices may be difficult due to trading distinctions in the debt market. The committee therefore rec- ommended the addition of an interpretation re- garding transactions in the debt market. Under this interpretation, the board recog- nizes that intra-dealer transactions ordinarily are the best evidence of the prevailing market price, but that, in the debt market, such transac- tions may be rare or nonexistent. As a result, it lists five other contemporaneous factors for bro- kers to consider before contemporaneous cost is used to determine prevailing market price. In addition to these five factors, the interpretation adds that consideration also may be given to the value of certain components of a security in the market with sophisticated institutional cus- tomers. A list of such components is included. Finally, the interpretation establishes an- other list of factors to be used in determining the similarity of debt securities, including such items as credit quality; comparable spreads; general structural characteristics of the issue; technical factors, such as size of issue; and the cost and availability of financing and effectiveness of hedging for the issue. The board also recom- mends the adoption of a definition of mark-up and mark-down. GFOA is submitting comments on the draft NASD interpretations. The NASD board will make its decision on these proposals at its November meeting, and these must be approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission before they are effective. Questions concerning the NASD notice should be directed to Walter J. Robertson, NASD Compliance (202/728-8236). 13 CITY OF KEK it Gil CC&tM" 4,44auza -- 210 FIDALGO AVE., SUITE 200 KENAI, ALASKA 99611-7794 TELEPHONE 907-283-7535 FAX 907-283-3014 '1II1► 1"2 MEMORANDUM TO: Kenai City Council FROM: Charles A. Brown, Finance Director DATE: October 14, 1994 SUBJECT: Taxes At the last City Council meeting, I told Council that real property received from the Inlet Woods settlement would be tax exempt. That is, that the City would not have to pay related property taxes for calendar year 1995 and after on property received in the settlement. This is what the Borough told me. The City Manager of Soldotna has cited AS 29.45.030(a)(1)(c), attached. It appears that perhaps all such property will be tax exempt, except for the possibility of Soldotna's levy on property located in Soldotna. If true, Inlet Woods and land outside the cities would be fully tax exempt, but land located in Soldotna (i.e., Mooring Estates) would be tax exempt for the Borough and service area levies only. That means the Soldotna land would be taxed by the Soldotna levy. Currently, that tax would amount to 1.65 mills on $574,900 of assessed value, or $949 per year. It is doubtful that this information would have changed anyone's opinion of the settlement agreement. I'm sorry to have given you bad information, but it was the best information I had at the time. The Borough Finance Department has acknowledged that they were unaware of the statute provision. Cary is researching this issue further; he has expressed doubts regarding the constitutionality of the statute provision. §29.45.030 ALASKA STATUTES §29.45.M (b) Compliance with the provisions of this section is a prerequisite to receipt of municipal tax resource equalization assistance under AS 29.60.010 - 29.60.080 and state aid for miscellaneous municipal services under AS 29.60.100 - 29.60.180. The department shall withhold annual allocations under those sections until municipal officials demonstrate that the requirements of this section have been met. (§ 12 ch 74 SLA 1985) Sec. 29.45.030. Required exemptions. (a) The following property is exempt from general taxation: (1) municipal property, including property held by a public corporation of a municipality, or state property, except that (A) a private leasehold, contract, or other interest in the property is taxable to the extent of the interest; (B) notwithstanding any other provision of law, property acquired by an agency, corporation, or other entity of the state through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure and retained as an investment of a state entity is taxable; this subparagraph does not apply to federal land granted to the University of Alaska under AS 14.40.380 or 14.40.390, or to other land granted to the university by the state to replace land that had been granted under AS 14.40.380 or 14.40.390; �( (C) an ownership interest of a municipality in real property located outside the municipality acquired after December 31, 1990, is taxable by another municipality; however, a borough may not tax an interest in real property located in the borough and owned by a city in that borough; (2) household furniture and personal effects of members of a household; (3) property used exclusively for nonprofit religious, charitable, cemetery, hospital, or educational purposes; (4) property of a nonbusiness organization composed entirely of persons with 90 days or more of active service in the armed forces of the United States whose conditions of service and separation were other than dishonorable, or the property of an auxiliary of that organization; (5) money on deposit; (6) the real property of certain residents of the state to the extent and subject to the conditions provided in (e) of this section; (7) real property or an interest in real property that is exempt from taxation under 43 U.S.C.1620(d), as amended; (8) property of a political subdivision, agency, corporation, or other entity of the United States to the extent required by federal law; except that a private leasehold, contract, or other interest in the property is taxable to the extent of that interest.

New Visions." The opening session is scheduled for 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, November 16. Royer, who began his professional career as a television news analyst and commentator, served as mayor of Se- attle from 1978 to 1989. His years as mayor were characterized by efforts to, among other things, streamline city aovemment, increase citizen partici- tion, develop opportunities for small ousinesses, and establish a successful residential recycling program.

Ritchie of Juneau was recently named Executive Director of the Alaska Municipal League by the Board of Directors. Ritchie, former Manager of the City and Borough of Juneau and a resident of Alaska since 1976, began work at the League on October 1. AML President John Torgerson praised the Board's decision, saying, "Kevin brings a wealth of understanding of municipal issues in Alaska to the position, and we on the Board look forward to working with him to strengthen the role of local governments in our state. "In addition to his local government background," continued Torgerson, "Kevin knows the League. He has served as an ex officio member of the AML Board and was involved in the startup phases of two of AML's service programs -- the group insurance program, which has now evolved into the AML Joint Insurance Associa- tion (AMUJIA), and the AML Investment Pool. We were lucky to be able to hire someone with his experience with the organization." In accepting the appointment, Ritchie said, "I am very honored to have been selected to work with Alaskan municipalities as the League's Executive Director. I am strongly committed to the future of municipal government in Alaska, and I believe that the Alaska Municipal League plays a critical role in defining that future. Acting collectively and decisively, the municipalities have a_ tremendous potential to shape the quality of life for all Alaskans." Kevin was most recently the Director of the Division of Personnel/Equal Employ- ment Opportunity for the State of Alaska. He also served as a member of the Govemor's Task Force on Governmental Roles, as Executive Director of the Juneau Economic Development Council, and as a VISTA volunteer and project director with the Tacoma Urban League prior to moving to Alaska. He was an organizer and first president of Big Brothers, Big Sisters of Juneau, a volunteer fireman, and a charter member of the Juneau Gastineau Rotary Club, which he serves as president. Although he officially started work in October, Kevin got re -involved in AML activities right away. He attended September's AML Leadership Summit and Board meeting and, along with Chrystal Smith, participated in the North/Northwest Mayors' Conference gathering in Kotzebue.

Anti -Crime Bill Summary Available AML recently received a summary of the provisions of the Violent Crime Con- trol and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, the so-called Crime Bill. The summary was prepared by the National Associa- tion of Counties to serve as a conve- nient reference guide to major provi- sions of the Act as the implementation process begins. "While the statutory provisions in the Act provide a basic reference," said NACo Executive Director Larry Naake, "NACo recognizes that the regulations interpreting these provisions are of major importance. It was for this reason that NACo President Randy Franke recently appointed a multidisciplinary Taskforce to oversee the implementation process. The Task Force is charged with promot- ing the county perspective in the devel- opment of regulations and designing proactive strategies for implementing the legislation." Interested local officials may obtain copy of the summary by calling AML 907-586-1325. Time is Running Out! Register for the AML Local Government Conference now. See form in this newsletter.

Alaskan Firm Takes Over Management of Investment Pool As of October 1, 1994, members of the AML Investment Pool will now communicate with an all -Alaskan service team. Key Trust Company of Alaska has been named the Pool's new custodian, and Society Asset Management, a subsidy of KeyCorp Asset Management with representatives in Anchorage, has taken over management of the Pool. Dave Rose, of Alaska Permanent Capital Management Company, continues as the Pool's Investment Adviser. In making the announcement of the new arrangements, Pool Board Chair Jerome Selby, Mayor of the Kodiak Island Borough, said, "We are very pleased to be doing business with these Alaska -based KeyCorp subsidiaries. The Pool has proved its worth to its members, and these changes will make it even more accessible to municipalities and school districts across the state, many of whom already do business with Key Bank and Key Trust. "The AML Pool has been performing well -- it's a very competitive option for municipal investments," continued Selby. "With this new Alaska -based arrangement we look forward to even better times. We need to expand both the number of members and the total investment. The more funds we can pool together, the better return all of us will realize. If your municipality is not a member, it is missing out on an ideal way to make more money, an important consideration in these days of declining revenues." The AML Investment Pool was organized by AML in response to the need for stable, competitive, and liquid investment options for Alaskan cities, boroughs, and school districts. It offers competitive returns by pooling investments. There's no sign-up fee, no initial deposit is required, and funds are readily available when you need them. For more information on joining the AML Investment Pool, call Dave Rose at 907-272-7575.

New Visions" theme of the 44th An- nual Local Government Conference, workshops this year will focus on new approaches to issues facing local gov- ernments. "The NewOpen Meetings Act: What Does It Mean for You" will look at the effects of AML's successful effort to promote legislation clarifying Alaska's law regarding meetings of public bod- ies. A Thursday workshop will highlight the "reinventing/rethinking govem- ment" approach to evaluating chal- lenges facing local officials. Repre- sentatives of Peat Marwick, which has been a leader in government consult- ing acrossthe nation, will discuss prac- tical applications and suggest ways Alaskan local officials may be able to rethink service delivery questions. This workshop will follow up on a general luncheon on the topic and provide interested participants with a chance to ask questions and get more details. Two scheduled panels will look at personnel issues: one is on the use of assessment centers as a personnel selection tool, and the other, cospon- sored by the AML Joint Insurance As- sociation (AMUJIA), will focus on employment law issues such as wrong- fultermination and sexual harassment. The AMUJIA will also cosponsor another seminar-- one on howto form and use safety committees to reduce injuries, cut losses, and reduce the cost of insurance. The new realities of environmental regulationsand requirements foremer- gency planning, as well as the associ- ated liabilities, will provide the focus fortwo otherworkshops. Environmen- tal regulation will be discussed prima- rily in the context of unfunded man- dates during this workshop session, with other environmental issues serv- ing as the focus for the Environment and Utilities issues and policy section. Housing shortages and the increas- ing costs of health care are other realities facing Alaska's local govern- ments. A conference workshop en- titled "The Quality of Life Begins at Home" will explore the question of how to plan most effectively to ensure that communities throughout Alaska have access to adequate affordable housing. Anotherwill look at activities such as wellness programs and com- munity -based prevention programs as a way to ensure healthier communi- ties and lower health costs. Recent legislation on local emer- gency planning requirements, the li- abilities associated with emergency planning, coordination of state and local efforts, and community right -to - know issues will be the focus of a workshop. A special session featuring Dr. Clive Thomas, a specialist on Alaskan poli- tics and lobbying, will offer partici- pants a chance to learn more about lobbying and influencing the legisla- ture. People in communities throughout Alaska are talking about tourism. Some think there are too many tour- ists, others want more; some are de- veloping new activities to attract people to their regions, and others are figur- ing out how to disperse large groups. The common wisdom is that tourism growth benefits a community, but of- ten the costs of tourism growth are also high. A workshop scheduled for Friday will examine these issues, and more. Adiscussion about rural Alaska tourism is also scheduled as part of the Economic Development and Re- source Management issues and policy section. Conference workshops offer a vari- ety of training opportunities. Plan now to attend.

Iroposal to be Highlighted The proposal put forth by the Munici- pal Aid Working Group will be the main topic at the General Session on the first day of the AML Local Government Con- ference. The group was formed at the request of the AML Board and has been working to revise the current program of state aid to municipalities. Background and details of the proposal will be pre- sented and a resolution will be put forth for deliberation. A more detailed discussion of the plan will take place during the Taxation and Finance Policy Section later in the after- noon where there will be plenty of op- portunities to ask questions. If the mem- bership adopts a proposal to revise the current municipal aid programs, it will be a top priority of the legislative pro- gram for the next year. Issues and Policy Sections Offer More Each year AML's conference policy sections offer participants not only a chance to review the AML Policy State- ment but an opportunity to learn more about "hot issues" related to the topic area. This year, in recognition of the important rolethat presentations bystate and federal agency representatives and others in providing these issues up- dates, the eight subject matter ses- sions, scheduled for Wednesday after- noon and Thursday morning, have been retitled Issues and Policy Sections. They will offer discussion of policy issues, updates on state and federal activities, and a chance to review and amend the AML Policy Statement and resolutions. Ray Troll Exhibit Opens During Conference Week Artist Ray Troll will open in an Alaska Artist Solo exhibition at the Alaska State Museum on November 12. AML confer- ees will be able to view the exhibit on Tuesday - Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. General admission is $2 for those over 18. Troll is no stranger to Alaskans, at least to their t-shirt drawers. He is well known for his unusual and humorous shirt designs. Humpies from Hell, Spawn Till You Die, and Cutthroat Business- men are among the weird and whimsical images that can be spotted on shirts and in stores throughout the state and coun- try. In this exhibit, titled "Planet Ocean," Troll goes beyond fish to a deepening fascination with the bizarre twists of the evolutionary process. His more than 60 mixed -media drawings take museum visitors on a journey from our oceanic origins inthe fossil seas of North America. Training for Newly Elected Officials AML's Newly Elected Officials (NEO) Seminar, a highly regarded introduc- tion to municipal government for new mayors and council or assembly mem- bers, takes place on November 14-15 in Juneau. The annual seminar will be held prior to the AML Local Govern- ment Conference to give newly elected officials a chance to attend both events. Some of the topics to be included in this year's seminar are municipal bud- geting, goal setting and strategic vision- ing, conflicts of interest, open meetings law, and ordinances and resolutions. Returning is Ginny Chitwood, of Chitwood and Associates, as the semi- nar coordinator. The NEO Seminar will begin with registration at 9:30 a.m. on Monday, November 14 at Centennial Hall.

The new regulations incorpo- rate a variety of new provisions, techni- cal updates, and language improve- ments. When they become effective later this year, the revised regulations will conclude the current "Triennial Re- view" of water quality standards re- quired under federal law. A new Trien- nial Review will begin next year. After adoption, the standards were forwarded to the Department of Law for final legal review and approval and next will go to the Lieutenant Governor for filing. The effective date, expected by the end of 1994, is 30 days after filing. Mixing zones are a key section of the revisions. Otherrevisions establish spe- cific requirements for authorizing treat- ment works (such as sewage lagoons or mine tailing impoundments); allow for site -specific criteria based on natural conditions; improve analytical proce- dures for detection of petroleum hydro- carbons; and modify criteria for fecal coliform bacteria, sediments, color, and toxic substances. The revised water quality standards also establish a "human health risk level" of one in 100,000 for carcinogenic sub- stances, to be applied to the adoption of human health criteria in the future. Information packets with the adopted regulations and fact sheets explaining the revisions are available from the ADEC regional offices or ADEC head- quarters in Juneau. Forfurther informa- tion, contact Dave Sturdevant at 465- 5276. Keeping in touch... YouthInitiatives Hold Promise Representatives of several Northwest Arctic cities talked recently about new youth -oriented activities in their communities. Reporting on these programs during the North/Northwest > Mayors' Conference in Kotzebue, which had the theme "Healthy Communities - Where Do We Stand?" mayors discussed these efforts as one step toward healthier communities for rural Alaska. Last year, for example, the ,City of Selawik started a 'hiking and camping program forteenagers. This yearthe program expanded into an Elders Camp foralt ages of young people. Both programs have been very popular, reported Mayor Bert Greist, who also said he expected efforts like these to continue and to have a strong positive impact. Bringing the elders and young people together will work to strengthen the sense of community and self-worth, said Greist, whose city has had major prob- lems with suicide in the recent past. Youth suicides have also been a problem in Noorvik, where a commu- nity healing process is underway, said City Council Member Frank Bahr. A series of community ,meetings, facilitated by Mayor Bob Curtis of the neighboring city of Kiana, have offered young people an opportunity to speak to their parents and others about the frustrations they ;feel, 'the situations that lead to despair, and other factors that make for an unhealthy environment for youth, as well as.adults In Buckland, said Mayor Lester Hadley; Sr., a;series of meetings with young' people' has helped to lessen vandalism at the school and in the community. Community leaders have led discussions of the costs and impacts of irresponsible behavior, and the young people seem to be responding. Activities such as a pizza party have been scheduled to recognize consistently responsible behavior, and Mayor Hadley is quite positive about the long-term impact of the program. Youth outreach programs are one example of ways communities can work to help themselves by building on local resources and the strength of traditional values. Formore information on these programs, you may want to contact the cities mentioned.

Leadership Summit a Success For the first time, the AML Legislative Committee, AML's Board of Directors, AMUJIA's Board of Trustees, and the Alaska Conference of Mayors met fortheir summer meetings at the same time. The first annual Leadership Summit was held in at Land's End in Homer on September 7-10. The joint meetings provided an excellent forum for discussing critical policy issues for the League's 1995 legislative agenda. The Legislative Committee met on September 7 and 8 to review the Policy Statement and recommend changes. In attendance serving on the Legislative Committee were Chair .Tom Boedeker, Kenai Peninsula Borough; Doug Griffin, City Valdez; Pat Reilly, Kenai Peninsula Borough; Patty Ann Polley, City and Borough of Juneau; Ralph Kibby, City and Borough of Juneau; Linda Swamer, City of Kenai; Drew Scalzi, City of Homer; Henry Guinotte, City of Palmer; Thomas Manninen, City of Kenai; Dennis Egan, City and Borough of Juneau; Eileen Bechtol, City of Homer; and Patsy Fisher, City of Cordova. On September 9, a joint meeting of the three groups of municipal leaders was held to discuss revisions to the current programs of state aid to municipalities. Doug Griffin, Chair of the Municipal Aid Working Group, presented the group's proposal to protect the state aid programs from further cuts. A lively discussion was held and a consensus was reached on howto proceed in structuring a new program. The recommen- Mayor John Stein, CityofWasilla, and Mayor Jamie Parsons, Cityand Borough ofJuneau. dations were presented at the AML Board Meeting held later that afternoon. The Board asked the Municipal Aid Working Group to meet again and finalize the proposal for discussion and potential adoption at the annual meeting in November. In addition to adopting the draft Policy Statement, the Board unanimously approved the hiring of Kevin Ritchie as the Executive Director of the League (see related story), approved the 1995 operating budget, and selected Valdez as the site for the 1995 AML Local Government Conference. The AML Board and the Board of Trustees of the AMUJIA held a joint luncheon meeting to discuss items of interest to both organizations. The Trustees then met for their summer meeting later Saturday afternoon. The League would like to thank Homer Mayor Harry Gregoire and the Kenai Peninsula Borough for hosting the Leadership Summit and all of the people who took the time to get involved to address important issues on behalf of the members. A special thanks to Michael Cushing from the Department of Community and Regional Affairs who has devoted his time in helping set up the new municipal aid program and attended the Summit to answer questions. If you have any questions regarding the Leadership Sum- mit or the municipal aid proposal, please call the AML office at 586-1325. We need everyone's help. AMUJIA Board of Directors AML Touchstone ■ October 1994 Page 7 Public Comment Period for Solid Waste Regulations Extended The Alaska Department of Environ- mental Conservation is extending the public comment period on its proposal to amend the solid waste regulations to October 31, 1994. These proposed regulations are de- signed to improve solid waste manage- ment in Alaska and to allow Alaska to take responsibility for regulation of solid waste. Congress established the over- all direction for solid waste manage- ment with the passage of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) in 1976. EPA was directed to examine state programs and approve only those programs that prohibit open dumps. In 1991 EPA published mini- mum standards for municipal waste landfills. As an incentive for states to adopt the program, EPA will allow ap- proved states to take a flexible ap- proach to implementing the regulations. In states that do not adopt an effective program, the rigid and more stringent federal standards will be enforced. It is estimated that this action will require an increased appropriation of $600,000 annually for FY 96 through FY 99. These amounts may be derived from a conditional user fee described in the proposed regulations. Copies of the proposed regulations dated September 1, 1994, may be obtained by calling Heather Stockard at 465-5150. Any person interested may present written statements or arguments rel- evant to the proposed action by writing to Heather Stockard, Alaska Depart- ment of Environmental Conservation, 410 Willoughby Avenue, Suite 105, Juneau, AK 99801-1795. Comments will be included in the record if they are received on or before 4:30 p.m. on October 31, 1994.

The 30-page booklet, The Informa- tion Superhighway Game, resembles the instructions for a fast -paced board game with penalties, rewards, traps, and other situations to challenge vari- ous "players." The Game serves as a concise and handy primerto explain what's involved in the new technology, why it is impor- tant to local leaders, who the key play- ers are, and how a number of local governments around the United States are already using the information su- perhighway. Because of the importance of local governments keeping up with emerg- ing technology, a workshop will be held on the information superhighway at the AML Local Government Conference in November in Juneau. Copies of The Information Super- highway Game are available from the National League of Cities Publication Center, P. O. Box491, AnnapolisJunc- tion, MD 20701; telephone 301-725- 4299. Price is $15 ($10 for NLC mem- bers) plus $3 forshipping and handling. One copy is also available from AML Lending Library by calling 586-1325. Payroll Tax Exemption for Election Workers President Clinton signed into law P.L. 103-296, which will increase the amount of annual earnings of election workers that are exempt from the Social Security payroll tax from $100 under current law to $1,000 starting on January 1, 1995. Beginning in the year2000, the amount of the exemption will be indexed to the cost of living increase. The legislation will bring relief to local governments and their election workers, each of whom are required, under current law, to pay a 7.65 percent payroll tax on annual earnings that exceed $100. Besides the financial drain on workers and local governments, the tracking of annual earnings has imposed an administrative burden. It has also served as a disincentive for many experienced election workers. Human Services Providers Asked to Network Municipal providers of human services, particularly programs dealing with drug and alcohol abuse and domestic violence, but also those involved in health care job training, and housing, are asked to contact Jewel Jones at the Municipality Anchorage if they are interested in talking about formation of a professional association. Jones says that while municipal clerics, finance officers, assessors, attorneys, fire chiefs, parks and recreation employees, and others have associations that facilitate exchanges of information, solutions to common problems, and networking across the state, local providers of human service programs are at a disadvantage because they don't have such an organization. She is interested in reaching out to her colleagues across the state and exploring the possibility of forming a new association, one that could bring service providers from all areas of the state together. If you are interested in learning more about this idea, please call Jewel Jones, Municipality of Anchorage, 343-6730. Jones would like to schedule a meeting of those interested during AML Conference Week.

Our purpose is to reduce the burden of unfunded federal mandates on our cities and towns, and on our local taxpayers. To succeed in this effort, we need your leadership and assistance. We must continue to increase the public's awareness about mandates and organize at the grass -roots level to force the federal government to respond to our concerns. Dealing with unfunded mandates has been a top NLC priority for many years. Last year, thousands of you took part in National Unfunded Mandates Day on October 27, 1993. That effort had a significant impact on Congress and the White House this year. Although some said it could not be done, we now have bi-partisan support in Congress for federal mandates relief legislation. Clearly, our efforts are making a difference ... but we must keep up the pressure on our national legislators to ensure concrete action at the federal level. That's what this year's NATIONAL UNFUNDED MANDATES WEEK is all about. This year's campaign is designed to continue to educate our citizens about the impact of unfunded mandates on local budgets and to organize grass -roots support for a significant change in how the federal government develops and implements laws affecting local governments. For this year's campaign, I am asking you to do three things: 1) Write to Congress and fax it to your Congressional delegation immediately. (sample available at AML office) 2) Schedule events during National Unfunded Mandates Week. Pick two days during the week of October 24-30 for anti -mandates public awareness activities; use one day to educate your citizens about mandates, and use one day to educate and get commitments from your Congressional delegation and candidates for Congress about mandates. Citizens and those who aspire to represent citizens in Congress need to know what unfunded mandates are, who really pays for them, and how they impose growing and severe financial and administrative burdens on cities. 3) Let your state league and NLC know what your plans are for National Unfunded Mandates Week. We all know that solutions to the unfunded mandates problem will not appear overnight. Our efforts during the past year have made a difference, and we must continue to build momentum. Your active participation in National Unfunded Mandates Week will continue the education process and send a clear message to Congress that our resolve on this issue is as strong as ever. Please join me in this important campaign! Sincerely, Sharpe James, President National League of Cities Mayor of Newark AM Touchstone ■ October 1994 Page 11 PRECONFERENCE ACTIVITIES 44th Annual Local Government Conference Week November 13-19, 1994 Juneau, Alaska Sunday, November 13 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Alaska Association of Municipal Clerks (AAMC) -Academy Session (luncheon included) - Treadwell Room, Baranof Hotel.

Staff on the Move -- AML and AML/JIA Attend Regional Meetings AML and AMUJIA staff have been on the road (actually, in the skies) more than usual this last month, attending regional meetings in addition to the Leadership Summit in Homer. Participating in regional meetings offers AML and AMUJIA staff an excellent opportunity to reach out to Alaska's communities and learn more about local concerns. AMUJIA Director of Risk Management Steve Wells represented JIA and AML at the fall meeting of SWAMC (Southwest Alaska Municipal Conference), held in King Salmon. Wells said he not only had a chance to meet with many JIA participants but appreciated the opportunity to learn more about the concerns of the area. Steve also participated in the North/Northwest Mayors' Conference meeting in Kotzebue later in September, where he and AMUJIA Trustee Nancy Cannington discussed JIA services and the new JIA safety grant program and heard first-hand about problems faced by local governments in the area. Joining Wells in Kotzebueto meetwith mayorsfrom the Norton Sound, Northwest Arctic Borough, and North Slope Borough areas were newly appointed AML Executive Director Kevin Ritchie and Director of MemberServices Chrystal Smith. Smith participated in a panel on revenue options, outlining the activities of AML's Municipal Aid Working Group and the proposal for a new program of municipal aid that it is developing. Later during the conference she was also able to do a "sales pitch" for AML's services, including conference, the AML Investment Pool, AMU JIA, and the AML-sponsored deferred compensation plan. Most important, however, according to both Smith and Ritchie, was the opportunity to learn more about the concerns of the N/NW mayors and their communities and to gain important perspectives on the challenges facing rural Alaska. Major issues discussed at the Kotzebue meeting included sanitation, erosion, impact of alcohol and drugs, the shortage of affordable housing in rural Alaska, the upcoming state election, the capital move ballot initiative, and the struggle to continue government services with ever -declining revenues. State officials, candi- dates for statewide office, and representatives of the congressional delegation joined in the meeting, which was hosted by the City of Kotzebue and the Northwest Arctic Borough. Prior to going to Kotzebue, Smith attended the Southeast Conference meeting in Ketchikan. Major issues there were timber supply, the role of tourism, and sustainable development. The Southeast Conference meeting was held in the city's new civic center, which is named forthe late Ted Ferry, a former mayor. The meeting was hosted by Southeast Conference President Alaire Stanton, mayor of the City of Ketchikan, and Ketchikan Gateway Borough Mayor Jim Carlton.

Willow Street, Suite 106 Kenai, AK 99611-7744 Re: EDD Offices Thank you and the EDD staff members for their assistance in the recent renewal of EDD office space in the City of Kenai for one year. Following up on our early September conversation in my office, I am requesting the EDD staff either to make the Kenai office site a permanent site, or to issue a multiple year request for proposal (RFP). This will be a more cost effective and cost efficient handling of this lease opportunity than repeating the 1994 process annually. The current lease is only a Pyrrhic victory for Kenai and the EDD as I think there was excessive staff/Board time spent for only a one year renewal. Therefore, respectfully, I would urge you and the EDD Board to consider a three to five year renewal extension at the existing site or to issue a multi -year RFP so that this scenario does not have to be repeated annually. Looking forward to your thoughts and standing ready to assist you in this process. I remain sincerely, Thomas J.

October 6, 1994 eorA�/ yTo: Keith Kornelis Public Works Direc From: Rachel Clark, Engineering Technician Subject: Safety Program Update Please reference my April 8, 1994 memo. The Public Works Department has been making progress toward developing and implementing a comprehensive Safety Program, but my time lately has been very limited, and we have not yet reached the stage of formally adopting the program. Below are updates: WRITTEN PROGRAM - We now have draft level procedure outlines for all of the plans required, with the exception of Respiratory Protection. The drafts are by no means complete, and need to be reviewed and reworked before formal adoption can occur. As of yet, no specific personnel or resources have been allocated to Safety. If you would like, I can try and estimate funding needed for the next year, in particular for continuing education (e.g. HazWOP training needs an 8-hour refresher). EQUIPMENT - Since April of 1994, we have filled in most of the gaps in critical safety equipment. The Water and Sewer Department now has confined space equipment, including a tripod, harness and retrieval equipment, plus a gas monitor for hazardous atmosphere detection. Our insurance agency, Industrial Indemnity, had identified the following items that may still need to be purchased for the confined space program: Signs for posting confined spaces Explosion -proof lighting Explosion -proof communications equipment We may also need to consider new respirators for the Sewer Treatment Plant and Wellhouses, I will look into this further. TRAINING - Public Works personnel have received training in the following areas: Confined Space - Jerry Potter Rachel Clark Jack LaShot Bob Springer Stephen Ramberg Dan Young Brian Springer John Crump Ray Rodgers Lonnie Stanford Jay Davis Fred MacVie Gerry Allen Hazardous waste Op -Jay Davis Lonnie Stanford Mark Langfit **in addition, Jack LaShot and Rachel Clark will receive training the next time MAPTS has a class in Soldotna. Cave in Protection - Competent Person Bob Springer Dan Young Mark Johanson Bloodborne Pathogens - Jack LaShot Gerry Allen We still need training in hazard communication, lock out/tag out, respiratory protection, and an awareness program on hearing conservation. Some of these programs can be taught in-house, but we will need to send the trainer somewhere for training. VOLUNTARY COMPLIANCE - We can ask OSHA to come in for a voluntary inspection. The voluntary compliance section is prohibited by law from issuing citations or conferring with the citation section. The inspector will point out deficiencies in our program. We will be given immunity from inspections for a reasonable period of time for corrections. The down side is that we will be obligated to correct any deficiencies noted by the inspector. MEMORANDUM Date: April 8, 1994 From: Rachel Clark, Engineering Tech To: Keith Kornelis, Public Works Director Subject: Public Works Safety Program After attending the Safety Program Development seminar on Tuesday, April 5, it has become apparent that Regulations have increased to the point where our current Safety Program does not meet OSHA Standards. CURRENT PROGRAM - Although work on a plan to cover safety basics has been started, the Public Works Department has not yet completed or adopted a written safety plan. No specific procedures are spelled out for any programs, with the exception of Lock Out - Tag Out and Bloodborne Pathogens in the Wastewater Treatment Plant. Although general safety rules are practiced, and some safety equipment is available, there is no formal program for providing and tracking training, evaluation of workplace hazards, or detailed procedures. Minimal resources and no personnel have been specifically allocated for safety. OSHA REGULATIONS - OSHA Regulations require that all employers have a written Safety Plan covering work procedures, employee education and training, hazard identification and evaluation, and program appraisal. An employer needs to have plans only in those areas that an employee would perform in a typical day. Public Works will need to have plans in at least the following areas: Hazard Communication Hearing Conservation Respiratory Protection Trenching Safety Confined Space Entry Bloodborne Pathogen Control Equipment Lock out/ Tag out as well as a policy statement and responsibility assignments. OTHER LOCAL GOVERNMENTS - The City of Soldotna has a written Safety Plan, as well as extensive equipment and training for their employees. Their plan was written and administered in-house, and adopted by resolution by their City Council. Training and equipment costs are included in individual department budgets. Most training for employees is done in-house, but the instructor is sent to classes. The Borough, in direct response to KPBSD fines in excess of $200,000, has started work immediately on developing a comprehensive safety plan, including employee training and equipment. The Maintenance Director and a Project Foreman are writing and administering the Borough Safety Plan. Trainers will be brought in from outside. FINANCIAL MATTERS - So far, the City has lost very few man-hours due to on-the-job accidents or illnesses. Our Workman's Comp Insurance rate, at about $117,000 per year, is one of the lowest in the state and would tend to indicate our employees are generally operating in a safe manner. However, we are not meeting OSHA requirements, which carries heavy fines. The State has recently increased its fines by 7 fold for serious violations, from $1,000 to $7,000. If an accident or complaint occurred, OSHA could levy fines for every violation (for example, our confined space program has many possible violations). Willful violations, where the City knew legal requirements but chose not to implement them, carries a fine of $70,000 per violation. PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS - Implementing a Safety Program will initially be a large outlay for the City, but all of the following items are required under law; it is possible that if we don't pay for them now, we will pay for them later, through fines. 1. Personnel A Public Works Safety Coordinator will have to perform the following duties, with my guess for approximate time needed: Division Coordination, MSDS Maintenance, Training Logs, Accident Investigation, Trench Inspection, Confined Space Inspection, Permitting and Observation, any Complaints . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8 hr/wk Safety Plan review and Updates . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 wk/year Coordinate and Instruct Safety Classes (32 hr inst. time + 40 hr prep time) . . . . . . . 72.0 hr/year Annual Building Inspection (30 buildings at 8 hr. each for insp./recommendations) . . . . . . . . 240 hr/year Liaison for State, Federal and Local agencies . . . . 4 hr/month This is my estimate for the minimum number of hours necessary to meet current OSHA Regulations for a safety plan already in place, about 900/year, and including training for the Coordinator, could easily be one 1/2 time person. Time needed to develop the plan would be in addition to this. One person could write an adequate Safety Plan in about 3 months; or, the City of Seldovia has offered to sell us theirs for the cost of $10,000.00 2. Training Employees will need training in the following areas: DEPARTMENT HAZARD- COMMUNIC CONFINED SPACE`` TRENCH WORK LOCK BLOOD. RESPIT. HEARING OUT PATHOGEN PROTECT. CONSERV.' TAG OUT 4 2 2 ADMINISTRATION STREETS 1* 6 3 3 SHOP 2 1 2 1 BUILDINGS SEWER TRMNT. PLANT 3 3 3 3 3 2 2 ANIMAL CONTROL WATER AND SEWER 2 2 2* 2 2 2 2 COVERED UNDER STREETS DOCK 16 7 5 10 8 2 11 * At least one person will need to be trained as a "competent person" for trench inspection. Others will be trained on general trench safety. Training will cover standard work procedures and requirements, personal protective equipment, and emergency response. Costs vary, some are done for free by the local DOL-OSHA office. Other classes, particularly instructor classes, range from $500 - $200 a piece, not including transportation. 3. Eauipment We will need to purchase a gas monitor for detection of oxygen, toxic chemicals and flammable vapors for confined space entry. OSHA Article 14 requires testing of these hazards before entering even a non -permit required space. A detector recently purchased by the Borough which tests for all three hazards cost about $900.00. The Street Department would also like to get 5-6 sets of ear muffs to help protect their hearing (ear plugs don't appear to be doing the job). They should cost about $15.00 a piece. Personnel at the Wastewater Treatment Plant are exposed to many different chemicals. Engineering controls could eliminate some of the hazards, forestalling the use of respirators: Polymer mixing venting tank Lime filter recovery system Welding area exhaust system Unit heater replacement However, these controls would be fairly costly and different alternatives need to be explored.

Please see attached letter from the applicant, detailing her decision to withdraw the permit application, at this time. For more information please contact Jack La Shot or Loretta Harvey at 283-7933.

I have been advised today that the Department of Corrections has met their Emergency Bed Requirement in Communities other than Kenai. The Toyon Villa will NOT be meeting with the Kenai Townsite Historical Committee on October 11 or the Kenai Planning and Zoning Board on October 12. On September 19,1994 the Department of Correction solicited for approximately 120 additional beds under the State Emergency Procurement Regulations. The Anchorage Bowl Area included Palmer, Wasilla, and Kenai. Because of the emergency condition, for it shortage of beds, the above request had to be submitted for Corrections review by September 29,1994. Preference was to be given to providers able to place offenders on or about October 1,1994. (7ontracts were awarded only to those who could document their ability to provide the necessary services. Also, the minimum square footage required per person was reduced. The Toyon Villa went into a Sales Agreement with a Qualified Purchaser that had ten years experience in operating Half -way houses in Alaska. This Sale was contingent upon the Purchaser getting the bid. The Toyon Villa requested a Conditional Use Permit from the City of Kenai on September 30, 1994, before the State Bids were even opened, because this process takes two to three weeks to notify all those property owners concerned. The Department of Corrections has found the needed beds necessary within the Juneau, Fairbanks, Bethel and Anchorage Bowl Area. A facility is not needed in the Kenai Area and the Purchase Agreement for the Toyon Villa has been withdrawn.

The financial and policy support of each municipality is required to give municipalities an effective voice in the state and federal arenas. First,I would like to briefly introduce myself. I worked for the City and Borough of Juneau for seventeen years, the last six and one half as City and Borough Manager. I was the Executive Director of the Juneau Economic Development Council, and, most recently, Director of Personnel for the State of Alaska. I have participated in AML programs since 1911 and I have developed a good understanding of the issues of both large and small communities in Alaska. I enthusiastically look forward to working with you to better meet the needs of your communities. The League's primary mission is to provide you with a stable, unified, and strong voice for municipal governments in Alaska. I strongly believe that municipal governments acting in unison can shape the future of Alaska. The question you must be able to answer to your community is, "What does AML do for us?". I ask you to consider the following: 1. A municipal league is necessary to effectively impact federal or state policy that can cost or benefit your community millions of dollars each year. It is such an important function that every state in the USA has a municipal league or similar association of cities and/or counties. Unless every community joins the league the power of every community is diminished. 2. The AML offers your community joint services such as the AML Joint Insurance Association which was organized in response to the municipal insurance crises. Without the AML there would be no way to respond to the crises and issues facing all Alaskan municipalities that require cooperative action. 3. The AML offers your community training opportunities including the annual conference and assistance in dealing with community issues. One of our goals this year is to increase such services to members. 4. The AML offers a newsletter, legislative bulletin, and a variety of up to date publications and information on municipal issues. Member of the National League of Cities and the National Association of CounTIes 4 In conclusion, without a strong Alaska Municipal League, Alaskan municipalities may not have an effective voice in shaping the sweeping changes being made on the state and federal level. The tighter funding gets, the more your municipality needs to join all other Alaskan municipalities in supporting the Alaska Municipal League. I hope to see you all at the annual conference and during the year. Please call me at 586-1325 if you would like further information or just get acquainted.

The report format was implemented recently and does not include the numbers from the prior year to date. Following is a comparison of other police activities through September 1994: Jan -Sept 1992 Jan -Sept 1993 Jan -Sept 1994 Traffic Accidents 226 206 223 Traffic Accidents/Injuries 66 44 65 Traffic Violator Contacts 2976 3326 3381 Request For Service -0- 4753 4974 Although the number of people injured in traffic accidents is up 47% over the 1993 figure it is about the same as 1992. Request for services are up about 4.5% over the same period in 1993. Of the 4974 requests for service approximately 42% involved a criminal investigation.

MEMORANDUM TO: Vice Mayor Measles and Council THROUGH: Kim Howard, Acting City Manager rle-, FROM: Keith Kornelis, Public Works Director DATE: October 13, 1994 SUBJECT: Congregate Housing Addition FOR: Council meeting of 10/19/94 - Information Attached is Kluge and Associate's proposal for preliminary architectural services for an addition to the Kenai Vintage Point Manor (Congregate Housing). This work is for schematic drawings, mechanical system analysis to see if the existing system can be used, and a schematic cost estimate. Ordinance No. 1612-94 reallocates funds from the FAA Road Project to the Congregate Housing Project. This ordinance, if approved, is effective November 2, 1994, and will provide enough money in the design budget ($15,552) for Kluge to perform this preliminary architectural work. I propose putting this memo and Kluge's proposal in the Council Information part of the 10/19/94 packet. It will go to Council for approval on 11/2/94 when Ordinance No. 1612-94 becomes effective.

Alaska 99503 • 907.561-1011 October 13, 1994 The Honorable John Williams City of Kenai 210 Fidalgo Avenue Kenai, Alaska 99611 Dear Mayor Williams: PN&D 94000 It has been a while since we have talked about Kenai problems requiring engineering. An article in the Anchorage Daily News points out one such problem which PN&D has successfully addressed for Chevron at Nikiski and one which we are investigating for other clients. After numerous failed attempts at bluff stabilization, PN&D was called upon by Chevron to employ their "open -cell' bulkhead technique. The last large storm fully tested the solution and proved its viability, while other solutions continued to fail. Enclosed is information which you may find interesting. We would be glad to meet with you in Kenai at your convenience to discuss this solution. Sincerely, PERATROVICH,: NOr TTINGHAM & DRAGE, INC. Dennis Nottingham, P.E. President DN/dt Enclosures IE12 Anchorage Daily News Thursday; actober 13, 1994 Waves, wind wear dawn Kenai bluff The Associated Press KENAI — Erosion is continuing to gobble up huge chunks of soil at a scenic point above the mouth of the Kenai River. A large chunk of earth slid from the bluff during the weekend, prompting au- thorities to close Mission Street in Kenai's Old Town section. Erosion has been a continuing problem in that area, and it prompted local offi- cials to call for federal help more than a decade ago. Kenai Mayor John Williams said a quick fix isn't likely. "There is a crack in the pipe railing system, provisions need to be made for local residents and the possibility of further slippage will arise at the first high tide," Williams said. Engineering options will be discussed at next week's city council meeting, but any solution will depend on money, Wil- liams said. The bank is being whittled away at three points: Wave action is eroding the bottom of the bluff, the water table is eroding it at the middle and wind is eroding it at the top. The only way to protect the bluff would be to erect a new seawall, the mayor said. "Whatever we do, the plan has to be approved by the Department of Transpor- EROSION: Elements wear away bluff Continued from Page E-1 tation, the Corps of Engineers and 16 other agencies," Williams said. Some landowners feel the bluff should be stabilized and saved no matter what the cost. "This area brings in substantial reve- nue from taxpayers that live on the bluff and is an area that both locals and tourists love to visit," Bob Peters said. "Even if I did not own property here on the bluff, I would not want to see it lost." A large amount of Kenai real estate has been lost to bluff erosion over the years and more is anticipated. "An entire road and two or three platted lots were there in 1953 and at least 25 feet of the bluff has gone in the time I've been here," Williams said. "It's just Mother Nature doing her thing."

PRUGHOEy YSAY In. 1981, an opportunity arose to use the new cell idea for construction of bridge abut- ments at Prudhoe Bay during causeway development. One million cubic yards of gravel, hauled over the bridge on 130-tor. B-70 trucks, proved the strength of this abutment . t type (shown. above). -- r F.- The award -winning 1,100-ft. long Tanana River Bulkhead,-, designed for the City of Nenana, was also built in. 1981, and thus began a long series of projects utilizing the open. -cell techr_ique.

ENGINEERING REPORT Nn') Engineering Consultants ISSUE NO. Z 1ge )PEN-CELL SHEET PILE DOCKS Peratrovich, Nottingham & Drage, Inc. has successfully designed and constructed several marine facilities by using what has been named the open -cell sheet pile dock. The main structural components of open -cell construction are accomplished without the use of field welding, bolted connections, UNLOADING CARGO AT UNALAKLEET This open -cell dock in Unalakleet, Alaska provides on -loading and off-loading capabilities for cargo barges and local fishermen alike. The simplicity and reliability of this 120-foot-long, open - cell sheet pile structure allowed local workers with little previous experience to construct the dock quickly and economically between August and October of 1985. or an independent tieback system. Additionally, open - cell construction does not require sheet pile cell closure and allows for easy backfilling, since the cell is open in the back. The dock face can be modified to include face ladders, mooring systems, fender systems, and varying level -access elevations. These features make construction by local workers possible and therefore reduces costs and keeps construction monies within the community. Construction costs for open - cell structures are typically less than for other bulkhead types. UNALAKLEET IN SUMMER Although the Unalakleet dock was constructed for barge and cargo trattic, local fishermen have become its primary user. Attractive features of this type of sheet pile structure include large upland area for storage, a continuous steel dock face resistant to ice damage, and a dock which is virtually fireproof steel and gravel. F 4 S END UNALAKLEET IN WINTER A smauer version of the renana uocr was ouut at tee t.7ty of unaimeet in the ice environs of Norton Sound. Open cells at both Nenana and Unalakleet were constructed quickly by city forces, demonstrating the effectiveness and simplicity of this low-cost approach to docks in the Arctic. TYPICAL NENANA UNDER CONSTRUCTION This picture taken during construction of the Tanana River bulkhead shows the construction sequences of the open -cell design. Compaction of the backfill and modification to the sheet pile follows closely behind the pile driving. WALL FACE TAIL WALL ANCHOR F PILE WALL FACE /- TAIL WALL 2LAN I ANCHOR PILE TYPICAL SECTION A unique benefit to the use of sheet piles is the flexibility in designs. This detail was used to provide access to barges and other vessels for varying water levels and freeboard heights. 't VALDEZ IN WINTER Over 500 feet of open cellular - type sheet pile bulkhead was constructed along the perimeter of the Valdez Harbor. This was the first application of the all - galvanized sheet pile wall. NENANA IN SUMMER This 1,075-foot-long bulkhead on the Tanana River was constructed on force account for the City of Nenana. The city crew was able to construct approximately 20 feet of face per day. This design utilized modification to the driven cells to provide mooring systems and lower level access ramps.
