DATE: September 29, 1994 SUBJECT: Environmental Site Assessment of Lots 13 & 14, CIIAP REF: Ordinance No. 1606-94 FOR: Council meeting of October 5, 1994 Public Works received proposals from GeoEnginee rs and Enviros on September 27, 1994 for the Environmental Site Assessment of Lots 13 & 14, CIIAP. These are the two lots adjacent to the Kenai Courthouse. There are some items missing from the two proposals that Public Works has not worked out as yet. We need more time to review the proposals before making a recommendation. It does not appear that Glacier Environmental will be completed with their work of clearing and disposing of the soils from the Courthouse Project by September 30, 1994. They think they can be done by mid -October. The site assessment of Lots 13 & 14 requires Glacier to have their pond removed from the lots. Therefore, the Site Assessment of Lots 13 & 14, CIIAP is contingent upon Glacier Environmental completing their work. Please table Ordinance No. 1606-94 to no time certain so that Public Works can work out the details of this project (including costs). Hopefully, we will have it back to the Council on October 19, 1994, but it may be November 2.

First, we have received the grant application packet. Second, this letter serves as compliance with the October 1, 1994 deadline. This preserves the City's right to apply on the proper forms and with an approved resolution through November 30, 1994.

September 20, 1994 U ■EC blV E® Mr. Tom Manninen, City Manager CITY OF KENAI 210 Fidalgo Street CITY ADMITS KE'�r�l Kenai, Alaska 99611 Dear Tom: Pursuant to our conversation of last week concerning additional janitorial service for the Kenai Bicentennial Visitors & Cultural Center, we wish to formally request consideration by the City to amend the current janitorial contract for the remainder of FY 1994-1995. Our Board of Directors, at their regular meeting of September 19th, amended our budget to allow for extended hours of operation for the Center. In essence, the Center will now be opened six days a week, Monday through Saturday. In addition, the Board has allocated funds for a seven day per week opening beginning May Ist of each year and continuing through September. The current janitorial contract allows for daily service through our heavy traffic months of June, July and August. However, the remainder of the year, the contract provides service twice weekly. It is apparent that the additional access to the facility provides a great deal more wear and tear and to preserve the integrity of the Center, we feel that janitorial service three times weekly is well justified. /'. i S-77.. The rate of janitorial service is $53.50/day and . our request is for an additional -thirty-R+ne— days for a total amendment to the budget of $ .50. The amendment to our budget for the increased personnel costs to provide additional opening hours is $5,500. We appreciate your consideration to our request and welcome your comments and/or questions. The Center is a source of pride to many in Kenai and we are committed to provide a first-class operation on behalf of the City. Thank you.

HISTORIC BOARD REVIEW 6. NEW BUSINESS a. Review Task Force Recommendations Dorothy Gray noted the recommendations from the TSH Task Force. She asked the Board to review these as possible goals and objectives. Diane Rathman passed out forms to help establish goals and objectives for the group. She felt it was important that the Board set priorities for the first year and preferably for the next ten years. Historic District Board September 27, 1994 Page 1 Karen Mahurin noted the ordinance which stated the Boa d shall conduct or cause to be conducted a survey of the historic, architectural, and rcheological resources within the community. The survey shall be updated every to years. Roger Meeks felt the acquisition of land for a histor' park was a priority. He had discussed the possibility of performing architectura studies in this area with Alan Boraas, and if the city owned the property this would facilitate such a study. In order to develop a historic area it would be important to create a center near the church. MOTION: ROGER MEEKS MOVED TO RECOMMEND TO COUNCIL TO START THE PROCESS OF ACQUIRING THE PROPERTY BETWEEN OVERLAND, UPLAND AND MISSION STREET (not including Lonzy Stanford's or old FAA property) FOR A HISTORIC PARK. KAREN MAHURIN SECONDED. DISCUSSION: Alan Boraas agreed this was an important area which should be studied. In correlation a survey should be initiated of all historic sites. Once the city establishes historic resources they should decide what to do with them. He felt the top goals should be acquisition, survey and what to do with resources. Dorothy Gray noted the simple survey the task force had developed from a walking tour they had taken of the area. Roger Meeks said that a walking tour could be developed as a complement to an historic park. He again stated he wanted to recommend to Council to start the process of acquiring this property. It will take a couple of years for an architectural study and some time to develop a park there. Dorothy Gray asked the Board to vote on the motion. VOTE: PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. Alan Boraas thought it would be a good idea to work with the State to util' the Fish & Wildlife property for historic purposes. Boraas said there was a lot o hisrot ere, the first airstrip in Kenai and also some native cabins. Roger Meeks said there was nothing developed on the right side of the Spur Highway until the early sixties. So all the history is on the Oldtown side of the highway. Historic District Board September 27, 1994 Page 2 Gray said she would ask the Council about the status of the Fish & Wildlife property and possible acquisition of that property. Gray also noted that the old Denai'na Village was located to the east of the Senior Center. This may also be a good location for a historical walking tour. Signs could be developed to mark the sites and give a brief history of the area. Boraas said the original village was called "Where we slide down." There is a picture of the village in 1898. The old village is also indicated on military maps of the era. Gray said that according to the church records the remains of those natives were moved into present day Kenai. Paul Shadura had indicated that there was a plaque commemorating the village where Kenai Packers now sits. In 1972 a group of citizens verified that Nikolai is buried beneath the shrine. They were replacing the foundation and they found three crosses. b. Identify/Set Goals & Objectives Dororthy Gray requested that this be moved to the next meeting. Meeks said he would like to see the city develop a new trail system to the beach. Gray noted that the TSH Task Force had felt strongly that the city should amend the sign code for special considerations in the TSH zone. Mahurin said she would like to see highway signs indicating the historic area. c. Identify Needs and Funding Sources Gray suggested this item be carried to the next agenda also. d. Define Advisory Role Gray felt that the Board had discussed this previously. Gray felt the Board needed to be proactive, identify goals, and move to develop and protect the historical area. Karen Mahurin felt that the Board should work closely with the Planning and Zoning Comm ission. e. Identify Specific Projects Gray noted that the survey would fall under this category. Historic District Board September 27, 1994 Page 3 f. How Survey Will be Utilized Diane Rathman noted a handout of a survey the TSH Task Force had developed. Meeks said there was a lot of history in this area. Dorothy Gray recommended that the Board go on a tour of Old town. Alan Boraas said the key to a survey is not to convert the converted, but to put it in such a form that a casually interested person would say this is remarkable, we need to do something with this. Boraas thought the survey should be full of information that would be readily available to the public. g. Paving Mission Street Diane Rathman and Dorothy Gray had attended a meeting to discuss this project. The street in front of the church will be one way. The original plan was for a two-lane with sidewalks. This was too wide for the area and it was felt that a one lane road with a sidewalk on one side would be more consistent with the old street pattern. The idea was to cut down vehicular traffic and encourage foot traffic in the area. Jack La Shot said that ISTEA has money allocated for enhancement projects such as trail systems, and they are seeking proposals. Gray asked La Shot to check into the possibility of using these funds to develop the trail to the beach. 7. OLD BUSINESS a. Review of Professional resumes 1. Alan Boraas 2. Bill Kluge 3. James Malanaphy III Dorothy Gray reported that in order for Kenai to become a Certified Local Government (CLG) they must meet certain criteria. The Board needed to have professionals in the area of history, architecture and archeology as consultants. She introduced James Malanaphy who had submitted a resume to fill the architecture requirement. �rr�erv� �`— James Malanaphy reported that he ad attended the University of Minnesota. The curriculum included a histori revation nd urban development segment. He also is a member of the National Trust or oric Preservation and a member of the American Institute of Architects, who were one of the founders of the NTHP and helped draft the national preservation act. N Historic District Board September 27, 1994 Page 4 When he was at the university he did research to nominate an old mill site to the National Register. It taught him a lot about researching historical records, etc. There is a move to preserve sites that don't necessarily have any historic buildings but have significant historical value. As an architect he is experienced with the planning process. Alan Boraas asked Malanaphy what he felt when he walked through the Oldtown area? James Malanaphy felt there was a lot of information to read there. He enjoyed reading the buildings, such as the church and Fort Kenay. He likes to imagine what it may have been like in the past. It generally leaves him with a feeling of wondering who lived there. There's a lot of images and voices that speak right now. Sometimes within the context of the project of how to use those resources, explaining Old town to other people would definitely be one of the goals of the Board. Another goal would be to help preserve and interpret these areas to the community and to future generations. MOTION AND VOTE: ALAN BORAAS MOVED TO ACCEPT JAMES MALANAPHY AS THE DESIGNATED ARCHITECT TO CONSULT THE HISTORIC DISTRICT BOARD. ROSE ANN MURPHY SECONDED. PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. Dorothy Gray asked Alan Boraas if he would fit the archeology criteria and possibly the historic criteria. Boraas said his degree was in archeology and he thought someone else should be chosen to fill the historical criteria. MOTION AND VOTE: ROGER MEEKS MOVED TO ACCEPT ALAN BORAAS AS THE DESIGNATED ARCHEOLOGIST TO CONSULT THE HISTORIC DISTRICT BOARD. ETHEL CLAUSEN SECONDED. PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. Dorothy Gray asked Rose Ann Murphy if she would fill the historical criteria. Murphy said she had a degree in history, but had no experience with teaching. The Board felt Murphy should submit her resume for the historic criteria. MOTION AND VOTE: ALAN BORAAS MOVED TO ACCEPT ROSE ANN MURPHY AS THE DESIGNATED HISTORIAN TO CONSULT THE HISTORIC DISTRICT BOARD. ROGER MEEKS SECONDED. PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. Historic District Board September 27, 1994 Page 5 8. REPORTS a. Administrative - CLG Historic Preservation Grant Harvey reported that the letter of intent has been filed. Staff will prepare the grant for the Board to review at the next meeting. 9. BOARD QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS 10.

Joel Kopp - Kenai Peninsula Green Star Program. This item was added to the agenda at the beginning of the meeting at the request of Mayor Williams. Kopp introduced himself as the Program Coordinator of the Central Peninsula Green Star Program. Kopp distributed pamphlets and attachments for Council to review. Kopp stated the program was created through the Kenai, Soldotna and North Peninsula Chambers of Commerce. They modeled the program after the original program began in Anchorage in 1990. The goal of the program is to establish the central peninsula area as a model community in promoting positive ecological attitudes to encourage compatible business and environmental objectives. The program has taken steps to preserve the Kenai River. It is a volunteer program. The program is designed to prevent pollution and encourage energy efficiency. Now there are 180 organizations in Alaska who have enrolled. A national charter has been established. Other states involved are Hawaii and Wisconsin. Senator Stevens has promoted the program through the Clean Water Act. Kenai is the first area outside of Anchorage to get involved in the program. Fifteen organizations have joined the central peninsula program since it was launched last month. Kopp reported both the City of Soldotna and the Kenai Peninsula Borough have enrolled in the program. A Green Star award is given upon the completion of applying twelve of 18 program standards and by attending workshops, etc. Kopp stated the enrollment fee for a governmental agency is $50.00. Kopp stated a coordinator needs to be assigned, but suggested each department have a coordinator. MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED that the City join the program and be proactive and get involved as much as it can. Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion and requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT.

Councilwoman Swarner asked what the previous rental rate was. Acting City Manager Howard stated it was $500 per month for eight months. Then $50 per month through April. This bid would be $600 per month annually. Councilman Smalley asked if there would be any closure time as there had been in the past. Airport Manager Ernst stated he KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 21, 1994 PAGE 5 discussed this with the bidder/lessee and he indicated he will keep the business open twelve months out of the year. Bookey stated he did not object to the amount. However, he did not want to renegotiate in January or February as was done in the past. Ernst stated the bidder/lessee stated he felt comfortable with the items he has for sale and with the proceeds he derives from sales. He does not intend to come back to renegotiate. Councilman Bannock asked if the new lease discussed how many hours a week and day the business was required to be open.

MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED for approval of Resolution No. 94-59 and Councilman Bookey SECONDED the motion. Public Comment• Loretta Breeden - 1602 Barabara Drive, Kenai. Breeden stated she has a direct view of Cunningham Park from her property. Breeden added she was partly in favor of the concept but in many ways was completely against it. Breeden questioned the wording of the resolution wherein it stated the funding was to restore recreational service in areas impacted by the Exxon Valdez oil spill. Breeden stated she believed that was stretching the imagination to the limit. Breeden stated she was on the Kenai River Special Management Area Board and was aware the River did not suffer from the oil spill. The real damage was from the people using the area during fishing season. She has observed from 60-90 people at the Park during KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 21, 1994 PAGE 6 the days. Guides are using the area. People are taking peat from the river bank. Breeden stated she would like the Park to be closed to boat launching as that activity damages the banks, etc. Breeden added she did not believe the Park was a place for commercial users to use. If additional lands are acquired, that will impact the River more. Breeden stated what is there needs to be cared for as it is a disgrace. Before looking at how enlarging the park will impact the River, care of what is already there is needed first. Williams referred to a drawing Acting Public Works Director La Shot had available. Williams stated he recognized the problem with the boat ramp and added it could be eliminated completely. Williams stated the ramp would be good for drift fisherman. Williams said the plan calls for entry kiosks with ladders down the bank to protect it; improved and additional parking space; and, enhancement of the existing playground. Much of the grant funding would be spent to acquire the additional adjacent property. Williams stated money was available in three areas which included the Cook Inlet area. Funding is available to enhance areas that can affect the fishery and as a result of the spill. Smalley stated he believed if the park was to be closed to boats, it needed to be closed to all boats. Williams agreed. Williams added if the boat ramp was eliminated, it may never be opened again to boats. Measles stated he believed the boat ramp should be eliminated also. Measles added if the City was going to operate a user fee ramp downstream, this boat ramp should be closed. Williams agreed it is a hazardous area for a boat ramp. Monfor asked why the resolution included the wording regarding "impacted by the oil spill." Williams stated because the funding comes from the Exxon Spill Trustee Council monies. Jim Butler - Butler reported the ability of the Trustee Council and abilities of the different divisions distributing the money are strictly limited by the settlement agreement between Alaska and the federal government. The general concept is to assist with the recovery from the spill. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 21, 1994 PAGE 7 Butler went on to say the Exxon monies are not the only monies available. There is funding available through DOT and the federal government. There are funds available targeting the Kenai River. MOTION TO AMEND: Councilman Measles MOVED to amend Resolution No. 94-54 as follows (added words are underlined, deleted words in brackets and capitalized): 1. In the heading, the third sentence, "...authorizing the city administration to apply for any available [A] grant of up to $500,000.00 to acquire additional lands[,] and upgrade and enhance the park_ [TO HELP RESTORE RECREATION SERVICES TO AREAS IMPACTED BY THE EXXON VALDEZ OIL SPILL.]" Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion. Measles stated he agreed with Breeden that the amount of things trying to be done because of the oil spill stretches the imagination. Measles offered additional amendments (added words are underlined, deleted words in brackets and capitalized): 2. The second whereas, "...borne by the [STATE PARKS RECREATION PROJECT FUNDS] grant; and 3. The "Now, Therefore...,11 third line, "...authorizes the City Administration to apply [FOR A STATE PARKS RECREATION GRANT] for any available grants to pay for land acquisition, and facilities upgrade and enhancement." Councilman Smalley approved the additional amendments after already seconding the motion. VOTE ON THE AMENDMENTS: Councilwoman Swarner requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. Breeden stated she understood there was an ordinance proposed by Assemblyman Drathman to zone the Kenai River. This may affect the City of Kenai. Williams reported he had met with Drathman as well as other assemblypersons. They are requesting the city to join them in the effort to control the river system. That will be up to the council after reviewing the proposed ordinance. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 21, 1994 PAGE 8 VOTE ON THE MAIN MOTION AS AMENDED: There were no objections to the main motion as amended. SO ORDERED. C-7. 1994 Games of Chance and Contests of Skill Permit Application - Junior Achievement of Alaska, Inc. Approved by consent agenda. BREAK: 8:00 P.M. BACK TO ORDER: 8:15 P.M. ITEM D: COMMISSION/COMMITTEE REPORTS D-1. Council on Aging Councilwoman Swarner reported the unapproved minutes of the Council's last meeting were included in the packet. At the last meeting they discussed the use of adjoining property to the Senior Center and Congregate Housing on which to build an assisted living complex. Swarner stated the Council said they had no objection to the use of property in front of the Center. Williams stated he spoke with Grasso on the telephone and directed him to call Acting City Manager Howard to find out what property was acceptable. Grasso had stated to him his concern that additional cost would be involved for installation of utilities, etc. if the Daubenspeck property could be used. Referring to the information included in the packet at Item G-1 (copies of letter and resolution transferring the Daubenspeck property to the City), Williams requested Attorney Graves define "Public use." Williams suggested one could say this project would be private use because it was developed by private money, however it will be used by the public because it will be public housing. Graves stated what Williams was proposing would not meet the restrictions of the resolution as public use. Williams suggested if Council felt comfortable with leasing the property in front of the Senior Center for this purpose, they should advise Graves to go ahead with it. Williams suggested a KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 21, 1994 PAGE 9 caveat be included in the lease agreement that Council would have some say as to the design of the facility. Williams stated it would be a single -level facility. Swarner stated the Council on Aging discussed their concerns that the building should be the same type of architecture, such as the siding, etc. Williams stated the builder may have to spend more money on the design, but it would be more aesthetically acceptable. Councilwoman Monfor stated she was not sure she was in favor of the use of the property in front of the Senior Center. Monfor added she felt there were other areas in the core area of town that could be used. She will want to review the drawing and plans. If the City builds an additional 20 units to the congregate housing facility, along with the assisted living complex, that area may be too congested. Monfor stated she did not know if that would be the best use of the land. Williams stated they are centering all in one area. If that happens, there are benefits to the Senior Center and others visiting the facility. Monfor stated again she would like to see the plans. Monfor asked who owned the old football field property. Acting City Manager Howard stated the FAA and the City but grant monies were received to develop it into parks. Williams stated different areas were needed to review with Grasso (the developer). Howard stated she would relate the conversation to Grasso when he called her. D-2. Airport Commission Councilman Measles reported there was no meeting. A memorandum was included in the packet to explain the situation. D-3. Harbor Commission Councilman Bookey reported a meeting was held and the minutes were included in the packet. They discussed the Cone property proposal. The Commission seemed to be in favor of the plan. They also discussed steps to take to maintain a corridor between the River's buoys. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 21, 1994 PAGE 10 D-4. Library Commission Councilwoman Monfor reported the minutes from the Commission's last meeting were included in the packet. Also a copy of the Library's monthly report was included. Monfor informed Council it was Banned Book Week and reminded Council of the Intellectual Freedom workshop to be held on October 2, at 12:30 p.m. D-5. Parks & Recreation Commission Councilman Bannock reported there were two sets of minutes included in the packet. One immediately prior to the last council meeting and for the regular meeting. Director McGillivray pointed out some corrections that would be made to the minutes at the next meeting in regard to the softball fields and Cunningham Park. McGillivray he suggested to Bob Frates they request the flowers be started earlier in the spring in order to have the flowers blooming earlier in the summer. The Commission also discussed the Cone property proposal. The Commission suggested an application for funding also be submitted to upgrade and enhance Cunningham Park. McGillivray reported the National Parks meeting will be held next week at which the State Association will be presenting two-day workshops. McGillivray reported Commissioner Hultberg indicated an interest to attend. The Code states Council must approve travel for commissioners. McGillivray requested Council approval for Hultberg to travel to Anchorage to attend the two-day workshops. McGillivray stated costs would include $65.00 for registration and one day's per diem. MOTION: Councilwoman Monfor MOVED for Commissioner Hultberg be allowed to go and Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. 80 ORDERED. McGillivray reported the tent camping area has been secured for the winter with a tree, post and chain across the entryway. Williams thanked Public Works, the Street and Airport Departments for working together with Parks & Recreation to improve the ballfield base lines. City equipment was used and the work was done in-house. Cost of the work was under budget. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 21, 1994 PAGE 11 D-6. Planning & Zoning Commission Councilman Smalley reported a copy of the last meeting minutes were included in the packet. Some of the items the Commission discussed were approval of a bed and breakfast on Juliussen and the proposed resolution for the Cunningham Park grant. Smalley indicated a copy of the Code enforcement list was included in the packet. Williams referred to the enforcement list and noted the junk vehicles seem to be getting worse than better. Williams asked what happens after the court decides the person is in violation of the Code. Attorney Graves stated if he is found in violation and the property is not cleared, there will be continuing citations. It will be ongoing. Every day could be a separate violation. Bannock questioned why that argument does not apply to 118 Wooded Glen Court. It was noted there were no junk vehicles on that property. Williams added it was a legitimate question, but there was no answer. D-7. Miscellaneous Commissions and Committees a. City Video - Councilwoman Monfor reported she and Councilman Smalley met with Amy Eriksson (Vantage Productions) and they reviewed the draft video. They revamped most of the video. They asked her to put more shots of the airport and peripheral airport businesses in the shots (ERA Helicopters, Civil Air Patrol hangar, etc.). They removed the historical information which was at the beginning of the video. They felt it would better depict and promote industry in the area without that information there. Williams stated he had a request from a citizen who was interested in the city creating a similar video which highlighted businesses in the city. Williams suggested the a lot of the same footage could be used from the present video. Williams stated he did not know if the City would have the right to use the footage. Graves stated he recollected the City was to have the rights to all the footage and the out -takes as well. Williams stated he would talk with Ms. Ericksson. b. Kenai Visitors & Cultural Center - Monfor noted the letter included in the packet from the KVCC which reported the KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 21, 1994 PAGE 12 number of visitors received through the year, etc. Monfor added the Center will be open through September on weekends and four hours on Saturdays beginning October through December. Williams referred back to the discussion regarding the video. Williams stated Mayor Gilman was now in Charlotte, North Carolina in regard to the MIDREX proposal where he and others are compiling information to forward to Japan. Williams added he would like to send a copy of the city video to Charlotte and to Japan. Smalley stated when they met with Eriksson, he and Monfor explained to her they were uncomfortable that she might be feeling rushed to get the video done. Smalley reminded her there was a timeframe included in the video proposal of October 1. Monfor added Eriksson stated she would be done with the video by the October 1 deadline, but would not have a copy of the finished video for Council to review tonight as Williams had requested. Williams stated he could express a copy of the video on October 2. C. Historic District Board - Williams reported the Board met on September 6. The minutes were included in the packet. d. Beautification Committee - Swarner reported the Committee met on September 13 and the unapproved minutes were included in the packet. Swarner reminded Council of the Healthy Communities luncheon to be held on Friday at 11:00 a.m. ITEM E: MINUTES E-1. Regular Meeting of September 7, 1994. Approved by consent agenda. ITEM F: None.

Approved by consent agenda. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 21, 1994 PAGE 14 H-6. Discussion - Kenai Municipal Airport Terminal Bar. Airport Manager Ernst referred to the memorandum included in the packet. The memorandum reported at the 10:00 a.m. bid opening time, there were no bids received. At 1:57 p.m., Louie Schilling delivered a bid to City Hall. Schilling stated he thought the bid opening time was for 2:00 p.m. Because of the missed bid opening time, the bid was not opened. Ernst reported Acting City Manager Howard had the bid envelope with her (at the council meeting). Ernst added he would defer to Council to decide what to do. Councilman Measles suggested opening the envelope. Since there were no bids received, Council could negotiate with anyone that comes forward. Ernst stated he spoke with Attorney Graves. He suggested the envelope not be opened and Council negotiate the lease price. A short discussion followed. MOTION: Councilman Measles MOVED to open the bid. Councilwoman Monfor SECONDED the motion. Councilman Smalley stated the bid that was turned in was not a bid. At this time it is a document. Measles stated it would be treated as an offer. Graves added it would not be accepting the bid, but a means to enter into negotiations with Louie Schilling. Smalley suggested it appropriate to ask Schilling if he wanted the envelope opened or if he wanted the envelope back. Schilling requested the envelope be opened. Bannock suggested Council offer an extension of the present lease, keeping the lease price at the same level. Measles stated Council needed to know what the offer was. Graves stated the DBE rules did not allow for an extension of the lease period. The City is required to put the lease out for bid. If there are no bids, then a lease price can be negotiated. VOTE: There were no objections to the motion. SO ORDERED. Acting City Manager Howard reported to Council the lessee is now paying $1,750 a month and the City pays for the utilities. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 21, 1994 PAGE 15 Howard opened the envelope and reported the envelope contained an offer of $750 a month (lease price) and $2,000 in cash as a bid deposit. Williams restated the offer was for $750 a month lease payment for a five-year lease period. Williams asked Schilling how he arrived at the $750 offer. Schilling stated he considered the restaurant lease price ($500/month) and the gift shop lease price ($400/month). Both have better locations. Schilling added he felt his offer to be fair and honest. He would take that offer or walk away. He would still be paying more than anyone else there. Bookey stated he has said all along the airport leases needed to come into line. The airport can only support so much. He would be in favor of accepting the offer. Williams asked what equipment, etc. was owned by the City. Ernst answered the bar was turned over as a working bar. If the Schilling lease was not renewed, Schilling would have to leave the bar in working order. Monfor stated Schilling had paid over $105,000 in lease payments. When he leased the bar there was not a great deal of interest in it. No one has called and asked when the lease would end in order to be able to bid on it. Monfor added she felt as Bookey did, the leases at the airport are now aligned. She would accept the lease offer. MOTION: Councilwoman Monfor MOVED to accept Louie Schilling lease payment offer of $750 a month for the airport bar for a five-year period. Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion. Williams stated he felt the rental rate should be more as there was lots of floor space included. Measles stated floor space did not have a lot to do with it. Only so many people will go into the lounge. There's a limited source of revenue. Williams suggested the space could be used for something else. Measles stated he believed a bar is needed in the airport, just as a gift shop and restaurant are needed. They should be available for the traveling public. If nobody else wants to run KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 21, 1994 PAGE 16 the bar, gift shop and restaurant, he believed the City should do it themselves. He really does not want the City to run them, but also does not want the businesses to be closed. Bannock stated he was struggling with the amount of the rental rate offered. Bannock was concerned if business was bad the lessors would come back to Council and request a lower rate. Bannock asked if the airlines were on a contract. Howard stated they had three-year leases. Bannock stated his concern that the airport properties might be seen as worthless properties. Smalley stated he did not necessarily disagree with Bannock. They were not dealing with a reduction of an existing lease. This is a new lease. It is the established fee. Smalley added he believed this is what the market would allow. Smalley stated he would support the offer. Bookey stated he felt the City was fortunate to get one late bid. This is the market. The offer is low, but it is what the market will support. Monfor called for the question. Howard returned the $2,000 cash bid deposit to Schilling. VOTE: Bookey: Yes Swarner: Yes Monfor: Yes Measles: Yes Bannock: Yes Smalley: Yes Williams: Yes MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. H-7. Discussion - Prioritization and Ratification of Goals & Objectives List. Item was not discussed. Council will set a work session to discuss the topic at the October 5, 1994 council meeting. ITEM I: ADMINISTRATION REPORTS I-1. Mayor a. Governor's Matching Grant Program - Williams requested Council direct Administration to complete the necessary grant KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 21, 1994 PAGE 17 application for the Governor's Matching Grant for use toward the City's water quality development program. MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED for City Administration to draft the proper documents. Councilman Measles SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. Williams requested the documents before Council at the October 5, 1994 meeting. Williams also stated Council needs to develop their Capital Improvement Projects list. Smalley requested total cost information to develop a water well. The amounts should include any leftover monies from sewer and water projects. Council requested the information for the October 5, 1994 meeting. b. Housing Projects - Williams reported he met with the Director of the Farmers Home Administration and discussed the grant program they have available which residents of Thompson Park can apply for to help pay for their hook-ups to the new sewer and water system. Williams also learned FHA has monies available for new homes. Williams added the director urged the securing of the Inlet Woods property. C. Ratification of work session Directives: Williams requested Council ratification of their requests made during the work session prior to the council meeting: 1. Removal of Linda Bonewell from the Airport Commission. 2. Move Wm. Toppa from Airport Commission to Planning & Zoning Commission. 3. Appoint Elsie Seaman to the Beautification Committee. 4. Send other correspondence as discussed during the work session. MOTION: Councilman Measles MOVED to approve and ratify Council's directives made during the work session as stated. Councilman Bookey SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. s0 ORDERED. C. Kenai Development Corporation Stock - Williams reported he had a discussion with a local accountant who suggested the KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 21, 1994 PAGE 18 City's stock in the Development Corporation was worth a lot of money. Finance Director Brown stated he has inquired and investigated the stock several times over the years and has found it has no value. Brown added at the time the Development Corporation was started the City was able to put money into such a program. However, now it cannot. I-2. City Manager Acting City Manager Howard reported City Manager Manninen was out of town to attend an ICMA conference in Chicago, followed by vacation and would be back in Kenai the evening of September 28. He will be attending an EDD meeting in Seward on the 29th and back in the office on the 30th. I-3. Attorney No report. Williams referred back to his report. Williams requested Council to review the proposed Borough ordinance included in the packet regarding conditional use permit approval criteria for the Kenai River. Williams stated he would like a resolution of support from the City and a similar ordinance after the Assembly makes their determination of the ordinance. Williams requested Council and Administration study the matter and find out the advantages and disadvantages. I-4. city Clerk Clerk Freas reported to Council absentee voting for the October 4 election was available in her office. Freas also noted her memorandum included in the packet regarding a telephone discussion she had about the Kenai Health Clinic. Freas added from her conversation she learned there is discussion at the State level about the possible relocation of the Clinic. No report. Finance Director Public Works Director Acting Director La Shot reported the following: a. Director Kornelis had to leave town due to his father's health. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 21, 1994 PAGE 19 b. An exploratory well was started east of town. The water quantity looked encouraging, however the color, at this level, is about the same as Well No. 2. They will be drilling lower and hope the color will improve. This well is about halfway between the two wellhouses. La Shot added this well is in an artesian aquifer. They tested wells on Angler Drive. If this water is found to be acceptable, a pipeline will not have to be placed. If it needs to be treated, they may be able to run lines to the treatment plant. I-7. Airport Manager No report. ITEM J: DISCUSSION Citizens None. J-2. Council Bookey - Nothing. Swarner - Will be attending the Healthy Communities workshop on Saturday.

The house is off Colonial Drive in Soldotna. ITEM K: The meeting adjourned at approximately 9:26 p.m. Minutes transcribed and submitted by: Carol L. Freas, City Clerk WORK SESSION OF THE KENAI CITY COUNCIL SEPTEMBER 21, 1994 6:00 P.M. KENAI CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS The September 21, 1994 work session, held in the Kenai Council Chambers, began at approximately 6:05 p.m. COUNCIL PRESENT: Monfor, Smalley, Measles, Swarner and Bookey. COUNCIL ABSENT: Bannock STAFF PRESENT: Acting City Manager K. Howard, City Clerk Freas, City Attorney Graves, Airport Manager Ernst, Acting Public Works Director La Shot, Senior Center Director Porter, Librarian DeForest and Parks & Recreation Director McGillivray. OTHERS PRESENT: Loretta Breeden (Beautification/Council on Aging), Ethel Clausen (Townsite Historic Board), Susan Hett (Beautification), Dick Hultberg (Parks & Recreation), Sylvia Johnson (Beautification), Teresa - Werner Quade (Planning & Zoning), Bill Toppa (Airport), Dorothy Gray (Townsite Historic Board), Karen Mahurin (Townsite Historic Board) and Ron Geocke (Planning & Zoning). DISCUSSION: Mayor Williams stated the reason for the work session was to review the activities of the various commissions, committees and boards of the City of Kenai. Williams requested commission/committee members present to encourage their neighbors and friends to apply for appointments to commission/committees. Williams suggested the members review the portions of code that govern their particular board, commission or committee. Councilwoman Swarner asked Freas if there had been any response to the newspaper advertisement requesting applications from citizens. Freas reported approximately three applications were distributed. At that time, only one woman interested in placement on the Planning & Zoning Commission had returned her application. Referring to attendance records included in the packet, Council reviewed each board, commission and committee separately. Council on Aging: Williams noted the Council on Aging membership was recently increased from seven to nine. Member Breeden suggested more background information be forwarded to the membership prior to the meetings in order that they are able to make more informed decisions. Williams explained the Council on Aging is not regulated by the City Council as much as the other boards, commissions and committees. Williams suggested Breeden bring this concern to a Council on Aging meeting for discussion by the full membership. Director Porter explained the Council on Aging is required by federal law in order for them to receive funding from a federal grant. Porter added the last two meetings were somewhat emergency -type meetings wherein there was little information to forward prior to the meeting. Porter stated she will make a better effort to forward background information to the membership prior to the meetings. KENAI CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION SEPTEMBER 21, 1994 PAGE 2 Airport Commission: Williams requested changes to the Airport Commission. Williams added the Commission had no meetings for the last five months. As the airport is major concern of the city, he would like the Commission to take an active stand. Williams requested Commissioner Bonewell be removed from the Commission because she has missed several meetings and is no longer eligible to continue (according to the code). Swarner noted her attendance record was okay, there was another member who had missed more meetings. Williams stated he still wanted to remove Bonewell from the Commission. Williams requested Commissioner Toppa be moved from the Airport Commission to the Planning & Zoning Commission. There will then be two vacancies on the Commission. The Commission will also have to choose another chairperson as Toppa has held that position. Toppa stated the Commission took a summer break which accounts for some of the "no meetings." Other meetings were not held because there were no quorums. councilman Measles stated the Code does not permit "summer breaks" unless Council allows for a different scheduling of meetings. There are three commissions who have taken summer breaks which is the busiest time for the area of their commissions (Parks & Recreation, Airport and Harbor). Measles stated he would like all the commissions to have regular monthly meetings on a regular schedule unless some real pressing situation arises that there is a need to deviate from that schedule. If they have to deviate from the schedule, it can only be done with the permission of the City Council. CLERK FREAS WAS DIRECTED TO SEND A LETTER TO ALL BOARDS, COMMISSIONS AND COMMITTEES INFORMING THEM OF THAT REQUIREMENT. Swarner stated she agreed. Swarner also requested the length of continuous terms be reviewed. Measles referred to KMC 1.90.050(b), If any member should have three (3) consecutive, unexcused absences from regular meetings of the board, commission or committee, it shall be reason for removal from that board, commission or committee. Measles stated the question of "excused" or "unexcused" is a gray area. Freas added it is not certain what constitutes excused and who should do it. Measles suggested the chairperson should make that determination. ADMINISTRATION WAS DIRECTED TO AMEND KMC 1.90.050(b) TO SPECIFY THE EXCUSED/UNEBCUSED QUESTION SIMILAR TO THE CODE DETERMINING THE COUNCIL'S ABSENCES. KENAI CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION SEPTEMBER 21, 1994 PAGE 3 MEASLES REQUESTED MINUTES OR NOTICES STATING THERE WAS NO MEETING DUE TO LACK OF QUORUM SHOULD STATE WHO WAS ABLE TO ATTEND. MONFOR REQUESTED ALL COMMISSION, COMMITTEES AND BOARDS BE NOTIFIED THERE ARE POSITIONS AVAILABLE ON THE AIRPORT COMMISSION TO GIVE THOSE MEMBERS A CHANCE TO CHANGE COMMISSIONS IF THEY SO DESIRE. FREAS WAS ASKED TO REVIEW THE MINUTES TO DETERMINE WHO WAS NOT IN ATTENDANCE FOR THE MEETINGS NOTED AS "NO QUORUM" ON THE ATTENDANCE RECORD PRESENTED AT THE WORK SESSION. Beautification: Williams stated the Beautification Committee has done a wonderful job throughout the city. Williams added he was puzzled by the missed meetings of Kim Booth. She has not attended any meeting since her appointment to the Committee. Susan Hett stated she believed the missed meetings were due to a work conflict. FREAS WAS REQUESTED TO WRITE TO BOOTH AND ASK IF SHE WANTED TO CONTINUE AS A COMMITTEE MEMBER. Williams noted there was one position available on the Committee and requested to have Elsie Seaman appointed. Breeden reported to Council the Beautification Committee planned on taking off November and December. Smalley stated he did not have a problem. Measles stated the Committee should forward a letter to Council requesting to not hold meetings in those months. The same rule should apply for everyone. Harbor Commission: Swarner asked if this commission could be combined with another commission. Williams stated the question was with whom it could be combined. Williams added it would not work combining it to the Airport Commission as that commission is a stand-alone commission. There is work out there to be done and there will be future problem solving. They are having discussions regarding buoys and anchoring systems which will be a problem they will have to attend to in the future. Council reviewed the attendance records of the members. Williams noted the attendance record of the first commissioner on the attendance list (Munn). Williams asked to have the middle meeting attendance information supplied. The second commissioner needs to have a letter drafted of whether he wants to continue or not (Knackstedt). FREAS WAS REQUESTED TO SEND LETTERS TO MEMBERS MUNN AND KNACKSTEDT AND ASK IF THEY WANT TO CONTINUE THEIR MEMBERSHIP IN THE COMMISSION AND COMMENTS AS TO THE SUMMER MEETINGS. Jistoric District Board: Williams apologized to the Board members attending the meeting for the letter he sent after most of them missed the first meeting of the Board. Williams added it was found to be a staff KENAI CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION SEPTEMBER 21, 1994 PAGE 4 error and that only six of the nine members had been notified. Williams noted there are additional applications on file for this board, however at this time all positions were filled. Dorothy Gray reported the Board has applied for a $20,000 federal grant. If they awarded the grant, they will be speaking with Council about it. Gray also reported the Board will be listing their goals and objectives at their next meeting. FREAS WAS REQUESTED TO SEND A LETTER TO THE FOURTH MEMBER ON THE LIST (JAHRIG) AND AS IF HE WANTS TO CONTINUE HIS MEMBERSHIP. Breeden questioned whether she was allowed to be a member of the Council on Aging, Beautification Committee and Personnel Arbitration Board at the same time. Breeden stated she would resign from one if there is a problem. It was noted the Code does not disallow such memberships and that the Personnel Arbitration Board has only met twice in thirty years. Library Commission: Monfor stated the Commission may be writing a letter requesting not to have a meeting in July. There were no changes to the Library Commission. It was noted the Commission has had very good attendance. Council discussed finding another student representative. DeForest stated she preferred having a student representative only if they were attended meetings and were involved in the meetings. Parks & Recreation Commission: Williams noted the Commission and some of the Commission members have been active for a long time. However, there have been difficulties with attendance to meetings, no quorums, and taking off for summer breaks. Williams noted the Commission will need to request the scheduling change in the future. Monfor noted the "lack of agenda items" was an interesting topic. Williams stated the agenda items should be generated from the Commission and staff. Monfor added sometimes people get so involved in their personal agendas they forget the reason why the commission exists. Monfor suggested the Mayor and Councilmembers need to send a letter to the chairpersons and relate why there are commissions, committees and boards. The letter should be forwarded to their commission, etc. members as well. Williams noted Commissioner Massie had missed approximately four meetings. Williams requested he be written and asked if he would like to continue on the Commission. FREAS WAS REQUESTED TO SEND LETTER AND COPIES OF CODE REGARDING THE SPECIFIC COMMISSION, COMMITTEE OR BOARD TO THE MEMBERS TO REMIND THEM WHY THEIR COMMISSION, COMMITTEE OR BOARD EXISTS. Personnel Arbitration Board: It was noted some of the members have moved out of the area and should be removed from the Board. Smalley submitted Richard Hultberg as a possible member. KENAI CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION SEPTEMBER 21, 1994 PAGE 5 COUNCIL DIRECTED THAT DICK CARIGNAN AND GENE BURDEN BE REMOVED FROM THE BOARD. FREAS WAS REQUESTED TO SEND A LETTER TO MARJ O'REILLY AND ASK IF HER POSITION ON THE APOC WOULD BE IN CONFLICT; TO DR. BAILIE AND ASK IF HE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE SINCE HE SPENDS A GOOD BIT OF TIME OUT OF STATE; AND TO THE REMAINING MEMBERS AND ASK IF THEY WISH TO CONTINUE THEIR ASSOCIATION WITH THE BOARD. MEASLES REQUESTED THE CODE REFERRING TO THE BOARD BE REVIEWED AND AMENDED IN REGARD TO THE QUALIFICATIONS. Breeden asked if members of the Personnel Arbitration Board are legally protected in regard to judgments they may make. Attorney Graves stated the City indemnifies the Personnel Arbitration Board and that there should not be a possibility of real liability unless something outrageous takes place. Planning & Zoning: Williams noted the attendance of most members was good except for two members. It was noted Commission member Glick's job responsibilities kept him from some of the meetings. It was noted Commission Member McComsey may have job conflicts as well. FREAS WAS REQUESTED TO SEND A LETTER TO MEMBER MC COMSEY AND ASK IF SHE WISHED TO CONTINUE ON THE COMMISSION. Councilman Smalley added the commission, committee and board members are the "unsung heroes" of the City. There positions and decisions are not always popular. Smalley suggested a thank you be placed in the newspaper for their services. Freas suggested the ad be placed during Volunteer Week. Freas stated she would check to see when Volunteer Week happens. Toppa stated he enjoyed work on the Airport Commission. Toppa added it appeared at times, the Council did not listen to their suggestions and they found it to be frustrating.

Brown, Finance Director DATE: September 28, 1994 e�Q SUBJECT: City Advertisement At the August 17, 1994 Council Meeting, Council asked the administration to draft an advertisement similar to the one printed in the Clarion one and one-half years ago. A copy of the March 8, 1993 ad is attached. On September 12, 1994, I sent a rough draft of an ad to you, Carol, and Tom, asking for comments and changes. You and Carol responded with suggestions, which have been incorporated in the attached draft ad. The format of the ad would look similar to the last ad. A graph would be in the center of the text. That graph would be roughly as attached, the Clarion would display and shrink it. The Council said to run the ad in October. Please place this information in the October 5, 1994 packet for discussion. The Legislative Advertising account has a balance of $1,159. The last ad cost $780 ($390 each, running twice).

Local businesses can buy an advertisement for $100, which includes the business logo, phone number and address; or, a $20 advertisement, which includes just the name and phone number. 3.

Brown, Finance Director DATE: September 30, 1994 e 4Q SUBJECT: Quarterly Investment Report; Third Quarter, 1994 During the third quarter of 1994, the following securities were purchased by the City of Kenai: Annual Date Type Cost Days Rate 07-28-94 T-Bills $3,403,356.68 364 5.65% 08-01-94 AML Pool 240,828.37 - 4.06 08-02-94 T-Bills 2,491,335.10 359 5.46 08-02-94 T-Notes 2,259,680.47 729 5.97 08-26-94 AML Pool 1,262,904.00 - 4.37 09-01-94 T-Notes 1,502,795.31 730 6.24 Exhibit II shows interest rate trends. Rates continued to increase during the quarter, about 35 basis points on the one-year Treasury bill. This follows similar increases during the first and second quarters. Since January 1, 1994, one-year T-Bill rates have increased about 2.33%. I don't know how much higher rates will go. But, I think the odds of further increases are greater than the odds of rate declines for quite a while. Another 75 basis points on the one-year bill by Spring wouldn't surprise me. Exhibit I shows the current status of the City's portfolio. The average annual yield of the current portfolio is 4.91% on $29,483,898 invested. At the end of last quarter, the City's average annual yield was 4.25% on $29,321,506 invested. As I do each quarter, I will compare the City's return on investment with specific benchmarks: Memorandum Kenai City Council September 30, 1994 Page Two Average City yield, 9-30-94 4.91 12-week average yield, 3-mo. T-Bills 4.57 12-week average yield, 12-mo. T-Bills 5.63 12-week average yield, 5-year Treasuries 6.93 State Investment Pools, 7-day yields ending August 26, 1994 Colorado 4.31 Pennsylvania 4.11 Massachusetts 4.27 To repeat a statement I made last quarter, you might notice that for several years the City of Kenai's return has exceeded most benchmark averages. As expected, that is no longer the case. Interest rates have moved up rapidly, and we are holding older paper yielding lower rates. The result is predictable; we'll be chasing current yields for a while. At a current average yield of 4.91%, we are well ahead of our budget target of 4.5%. Next quarter, I'll predict what that might mean in extra dollars for the fiscal year. INVESTMENTS TODAY'S DATE BANK 9/30/94 NBA, T--NOTE 9130/94 NBA. T-BILL 9130/94 NBA, T-BILL 9/30194 NBA.

Brown, Finance Director es4 DATE: September 27, 1994 SUBJECT: Money Available for Water System Improvements At the last Council meeting, the administration was asked to provide information on the cost of, and funds available for, water system improvements. Keith will have to provide information on the City's plans for water system improvements. This memo discusses funds which are or may become available. 1) The Water and Sewer fund balance was $167,000 at June 30, 1994. If all goes well, we should add about $175,000 to fund balance during the current fiscal year. 2) We have the FY95 State of Alaska Capital Matching Grant of $211,665. It looks like another $211,665 for FY96 is probable. 3) I estimate that the following amounts will be unused from the Thompson Park projects: D.E.C. Legislative W & S Grants Grants Money Interceptor $200,000 $ 25,000 $268,000 W & S Lines 390,000 270,000 120,000 Total 590,000 295 000 $388,000 Both the D.E.C. grants and the legislative grants are very specific as to use. They cannot automatically be used for water system improvements outside of Thompson Park. At best, these amounts should be viewed as possible sources; maybe D.E.C. will write a new grant with these unused funds, and maybe the legislative grants can be reappropriated.

We got good quantities of water at 258' (in the same general strata as our other wells) however, the color appears to resemble Well #2 water. We chose to go deeper and are now into a formation that is encouraging. A good quantity of water with samples that resemble Well #1 water as far as color and turbidity is present. We expended our original $10,000 purchase order at this depth. We felt that we should push down some more to more define the formation, place a permanent screen, do some test pumping, and set up the well for future monitoring. In order to do this work without tying up Kraxberger's rig for an additional week during a busy time for him, we chose to do a telephone poll for approval of a $5,000.00 purchase order. Below is a relative comparison of color and turbidity from samples taken 9/27/94. '1he samples were tested at our STP lab, using equipment that measures different units than for our normal testing. The numbers, however, give a good comparison of the new well at two depths to our existing wells. Should the new well still look promising after further work, we will arrange to do the more involved testing as we do for the existing wells.

The legislative reallocation may, however, be a political question. The Governor's Matching Grant is designated for these types of projects so that funding should not be a problem. I was told that we should get the same amount ($211,665) next year which will give us a total of $423,000. Below is what I think we can use as funds available.

We now have available the study contracted out to Bill Nelson to use in evaluating some of the hydraulic and supply deficiencies within our system. I have worked with Oran Wooley at Nelson's office in supplying accurate input information and to keep their work consistent with what I understand are city goals and objectives for improvement of our system. Everyone must realize that while this study provides excellent hydraulic modeling through the Cybernet Version 2 software, it does nothing to evaluate water quality. It may, however, allow us to maximize water supply, whether existing or developed, that we see as higher quality, as explained later. The issue of water quality appears to be two -fold, of aesthics (color) and of whether the city will be required to eventually treat our deep well supply because of the new Surface Water Treatment Rule mandated by the U.S. EPA. The State of Alaska is supposed to evaluate all community groundwater systems by June 29, 1994, and notify us whether we have been designated as a ground water under direct influence of surface water. However, I doubt the state will meet this deadline with their current work load and anticipated budget problems. Depending on the outcome of the evaluation and any required monitoring, we may be required to begin filtration of our supply. All water system improvement planning should be accomplished with the possibility kept in mind that we may be treating our water. Our current exploration for clearer water is fine, so long as any new wells are located such that they can be treated along with existing supplies. Also, we must remember that even should we locate clearer water, the correlation to surface water may still be established. I have attached, for use at the workshop, the first two sections of Nelson's report (the entire study is available in my office) which provides the best information for setting goals. Page 2 New Well 9/29/94 At their September 21, meeting, council asked for costs to develop a new well. I have researched costs of our last well constructed (Well #2 in 1978) and adjusted for inflation to arrive at an educated guess of 1.3 to 1.5 million to develop a new well. This assumes no treatment or additional ADEC requirements now. I have also attached memos to be used at the Goals and Objectives Workshop that recommend control work and loops to help with both quality and hydraulics that should be considered along with the new well work. These projects would require approximately one-half million dollars. JUkw Page 3 Water System Improvements March 31, 1994 some point, a loop around Beaver Loop is a possibility as it will open up some new service area, provide for more well locations within the Beaver Creek Aquifer, and improve system hydraulics. The various options are costly and require the knowledge of whether we need treatment. A realistic longer term goal, however, is to explore further, and possibly develop, a well and well house near our others for approximately one million dollars. We have some encouraging test results from the artesian test well about 300 ft. from well house number 2. If this well (or a new one by it) could be developed, we could get water to the existing well number 2 for probably in the range of $100-200,000. We need to proceed with caution, however, due to higher than expected levels of arsenic and manganese. The levels are 0.043 mg/1 and 0.066 mg/I, respectively, from the test. The arsenic level is lower than limits set by the state (0.05 mg/1) however the state may not let us develop it, as historically arsenic levels increase over time with well use and development. The level for manganese is higher than state limits (0.05 mg/l). Further work with this well is recommended before serious consideration is given to its use. Expansion of our system to new areas of the city has not been addressed in this report, however, any chosen expansion could be accomplished for around $80/1-17. There are many areas to expand the system, both within the existing grid, and out into new areas, such as we are doing in Thompson Park. JL/kw Page 2 Water System improvements March 31, 1994 Short Term Goals The number one priority recommended (page 26) involves primarily, control work at the well houses, underground well house, public safety building, and the sewer treatment plant, to maximize our existing supply and distribution system. We have suspected for some time that this work was needed, but could not be specific until the model was complete. We have already begun providing the capability to control system elements with our in -progress telemetry/monitoring project. The SCADA system and computer software will give us the capability to install control equipment necessary and operate that equipment from one location (STP) based on pressure sensing at key locations. The controls will allow us to better utilize our existing system to increase total supply from the wells; increase supply from well house number 1 (with clearer water) during non -peak periods; to maintain water storage at the 3,000,000 gallon tank, and to give consistent pressure and fire flow throughout the system. The costs identified ($192,000) is in line with the City Manager's memo dated March 23, 1994, concerning expected unding levels. With $211,665 possibly available, we could also continue the exploration we have already started. We now have an active $10,000 purchase order for another test well. The next short term goal identified is the construction of four sections of water main to create loops. The loops will increase pressure and fire flow locally. Our ISO rating may be improved with the loops and controls. The total estimated cost of the four loops is $460,160. 1 would recommend to do the Mommsen Subdivision loop ($168,960) in a combined capital project, at some point in the future, to include sewer collection upgrades, street upgrades, and a larger water main to serve the growing prison Wildwood situation. The three remaining loops, minus the Mommsen Subdivision loop, would cost approximately $291,200. Also identified in the study were loop closures at Tinker Lane and Aliak Street. We have designed these into the Spur Highway Crossings project and included the costs there. Long Term Goals Longer term goals include different scenarios of new wells and ways to input the new supply into the system. The development of a well near our existing wells appears to work well even if we eventually need to treat our supply, due to the probability of centralized treatment and unknown costs for individual treatment. The new well could be treated with the others or one or all could be discharged to the 3,000,000 tank at the airport with construction of a large line and a treatment facility.

CE - 5460 ='�`` SOILS INVESTIGATION Testholes were dug using a Case 580, rubber tire backhoe. Soils were logged from 14 test holes along Dolchok Road, Cub Court, and Kim & Ang Court. The soils were consistent throughout the length of the project. Test holes which were dug in the roadway prism revealed gravel grading to sandy gravel at depths which varied from 1.3' to 3.5' from the roadway surface. The top six inches of the surface gravel varied from non -frost susceptible with 5.3 % passing a #200 sieve, to an F-1 material with 9.6% passing the #200 sieve. In test hole number eight, a silty sand type material was found from 0.8' deep to 1.8' deep. This material appears to be isolated to this area, as it was not discovered in any other testholes. Underlying this gravel and sandy gravel layer was a lens of silty soil which appears to have been mixed with the insitu sands and gravels at the time the road was built. This layer of sandy silt was probably left in place and mixed with the surrounding sand and gravel to provide a smooth, hard surface for backfill. The layer of mixed sandy silt was dry and very firm, and appeared to be quite stable. Underlying the sandy silt lens, which varies in thickness from 2'/2" to P, was insitu non -frost susceptible sand and gravelly sand. No water table was located in any of the test holes. No bury pits were located during this soils exploration. There have been reports of bury pits along the North side of the right of way line, however based on the test holes dug for this investigation, these pits do not extend into the existing roadway prism. No visible signs of bury pits in the roadway, such as settling and cracking of the roadway surface, were noted during the course of this investigation, and no structural failure of the existing road subgrade was apparent. The existing soils appear to be adequate for strip paving, without excavating the sandy silt lens which is present under the existing roadway. SURVEY The attached site map labeled "Existing Drainage Conditions" shows that, according to our survey work, there is a low area which is approximately 450 feet long where runoff water probably accumulates during breakup. Except for this drainage problem, the existing grades appear to be adequate for strip paving, without extensive changes to the grades. Wm.,J. Nelson (S(Associat 215 FIDAL SUITE 204 September 19, 1994 Keith Kornelis City of Kenai 210 Fidalgo Kenai, Alaska 99611 Re: Basin View Subdivision Keith. KENAI. ALASKA S9611 CONSULTING ENGINEERS STRUCTURAL / CIVIL / PLANNING (9071 263-3563 FAX [907) 283-45'14 Attached are three planning level cost estimates for the above referenced project. The estimates represent three different construction options and their associated costs. Also attached are site maps, test hole logs, and soils analysis results. Thank you for the opportunity to prepare this report. If there any questions about it, please feel free to call. Sincerely Oran Woolley DRAINAGE EASEMENT Costs for all three options have assumed that the drainage from the end of Kim & Ang Court would be disposed of by obtaining an easement, as shown on the site map labeled "With Drainage Easement," and building a special section of drainage swale to drain this street to Cub Court, where the drainage could then be disposed of in roadside ditches. There is an existing drywell at approximately station 3 +50 on Kim & Ang Court, which would be abandoned. If the City is unable to secure a drainage easement, the grades of this street could be changed, allowing the existing drywell to dispose of the runoff. While the drywell appears large enough to handle estimated drainage flows, the grade changes would prove to be more expensive than building a special drainage swale. In addition, drywells are a long term maintenance expense, and have also come under close scrutiny by the Department of Environmental Conservation. D.E.C. no longer allows the installation of new drywells. If this drywell were to ever need replacement, D.E.C. might not issue a permit for reconstruction. RECOMAENDATIONS We recommend Option 1, No Storm Drain, for the construction of strip paving and drainage improvements. While this plan has a higher initial cost than Option 2, the additional cost is offset by the lower long term maintenance cost of the ditch compared to the storm drain system. A drainage easement would need to be secured from the end of Kim & Ang Court to the end of Cub court, in order to construct a drainage ditch in this area. There will probably be utilities which will require relocation on Dolchok Road from Beaver Loop to approximately station 9+00, where the grades would be lowered. The lowering of grades in this area may leave gas, phone or electric utilities exposed. The cost of relocating utilities has not been included in the estimates for any of three options. OPTION 1 The first option for correcting the drainage problem is shown on the site map labeled "No Storm Drain." This would involve excavating the existing roadway from station 0+80 to 9+00, as necessary to create drainage from the low area, toward the existing drainage ditch, where the water would be disposed. This is where water currently is disposed of during breakup, after it becomes deep enough in the low area to overflow out the drainage ditch. The existing grades over the rest of the project appear suitable for paving without extensive changes, assuming that long term plans do not include construction of curb and gutter in the project. The estimated costs for Option 1 total $237,422 for construction. OPTION 2 The second option is shown on the site map labeled "With Storm Drain, Using Existing Grades." This option involves installing a ditchline field inlet in the low area which would collect the water that accumulates here, and dispose of it through a storm drain pipe which would daylight in the existing drainage ditch which runs offsite. This would use existing drainage patterns, but would minimize ponding in the roadside ditch. As in Option 1, existing grades on the project appear suitable for paving without extensive changes, once the drainage problem is solved. The estimated costs for Option 2 total $218,250 for construction. OPTION 3 The third option involves excavating the entire roadway for the purpose of creating new grades over the entire project, and installing storm drain to dispose of the runoff water. This option was included for comparison, and because of the increased cost, should only be considered if the City has long term plans for installing curb and gutter in this subdivision during the useful life of the proposed paving. The estimated costs for Option 3 total $377,683 for construction. -'v-Vm o J.

Kenai Soil and Water Conservation District P.O. Box 944 - Soldoma, AK 99669 September 19, 1994 Dear Kenai Soil and Water Conservation District Cooperator, c? The Kenai SWC:D Board is in the process of developing a long range plan for the District area which will identify our planning and project priorities for the coming years. As a cooperator with the District we would like to have your input on where you think we should focus our efforts. In order to help us identify natural resource issues within the District, the Board has been directing the activities of a Natural Resource Inventory and Evaluation. Margaret Spahn, Soil Conservation Technician, in the Soil Conservation Service Soldotna office has put together two base maps for the District, both at an inch to the mile scale. One is a USGS topographic map and the other is a land ownership map from the borough GIS (Geographical Information System). For these base maps the following 10 overlay maps have been developed: high value agricultural soils, location of cooperators and the District boundary, wetlands, drainages and contiguous wetlands, forest cover and logging, spruce bark beetle concentrations, groundwater, population density, anadromous fish streams and wildlife habitat (ducks, geese, swans, eagles). At the District Board meetings in April and August the Board reviewed these maps and identified the following issues: * Kenai gas fields affect on groundwater/wells and septic systems * impacts of spruce bark beetles on watersheds - harvest vs. nonharvest * Ninilchik River watershed area concerns * spread of spruce bark beetles - possible impact on Kasilof area * dirtigravei roads impact of watersheds * loss of high value ag soils from agricultural use to development * contaminated surface waters * wildlife habitat improvement as a result of agricultural land development (need for literature describing value of ag land for habitat) * Kasilof River watershed - are there increasing pressures from fishing, tourism, and development and if so how is it impacting the natural resources and how will it affect landowners? * timber harvest, reclamation, erosion control - how can we help the small landowner * streambank rehabilitation projects * groundwater quality CONSERVATION - DEVELOPMENT - SELF-GOVERNMENT Wm.

Proposal would link ANWR with two Canadian parks, foreclose oil development Clinton administration plan draws sharp opposition A Clinton administration plan to merge the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge with adjacent parks in Canada to create a World Heritage Park would almost cer- tainly preclude oil and gas develop- ment along the refuge's coastal plain, an area considered to be the most promising onshore prospect in North America for a gigantic oil strike. The recent proposal to "twin" ANWR with parks in Canada developed out of an August 1994 Interior Department memo. The plan has been the subject of several discussions between Interior and the White House office on environ- mental policy. The international preserve concept has been endorsed by Canada for years. The concept was raised again this sum- mer during a meeting between Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt and Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Sheila Copps. The Canadians are fearful oil develop- ment in ANWR might change the mi- gration routes of the Porcupine Caribou Herd. A World Heritage Park would place the 19-million acre refuge under international auspices, providing the strictest protection for caribou habitat and most likely eliminating any pros- pects for future oil and gas develop- ment. But before Canada came up with the concept of "twinning" ANWR with parks on its side of the border, the Canadians drilled numerous oil and gas exploration wells in caribou migration areas. Itwas not until exploration turned out unfavorable that the Canadians decided to designate their lands as national park. Linking management of ANWR with Canada or other international partners would limit the ability of Alaska to act on behalf of its own interests. "It is extremely disturbing to me that your Administration would take these (Continued on page 6) Inside this issue: • Congressional staff tour Alaska wetlands Pages 2, 4, 5 • RDC board meets in Barrow Page 3 • Reflections from a Past President Page 7 Since development began at Prudhoe Bay, wildlife managers have seen a six -fold increase in the population of the Central Arctic Caribou Herd. Although the Prudhoe Bay oil field accounts for nearly 25 percent of all domestic production, development there has been limited to 6, 000 acres. With the latest technological advances, development of potential oil reserves in ANWR would require about 2,000 acres.

The sun was out, the weather was unbeatable and the reception and hos- pitality from the community of Barrow was exceptional as the RDC board visited our northernmost members in late August. In fact, it was an extremely busy week for our hosts as RDC's community outreach board trip came on the same days as the Alaska Wet- lands Coalition and Arctic Power brought congressional delegations to Barrow. All of this activity certainly shows the importance of the views held by North Slope residents and the signifi- cance of their participation in statewide groups such as RDC. RDC board members learned a great deal from our hosts' insights into a wide variety of resource development issues. The is- sues discussed included ANWR, wet- lands, Arctic coal and RDC's involve- ment in current access issues with the federal government (ANILCA Title XI and RS-2477 rights -of -way). On behalf of RDC, a special thanks to the many people who made our visit so enjoyable. RDC board member Jacob Adams, President of Arctic Slope Regional Corporation, hosted a dinner reception, as well as a teleconference of RDC's Executive Committee meet- ing. I would also like to thank Repre- sentative Eileen MacLean, Barrow Mayor Don Long, and Delbert Rexford, Special Assistant to North Slope Bor- ough Mayor George Ahmaogak, for their wonderful hospitality. A big thank you also goes out to Lucy Brown and Vera Williams, Barrow City Council, Bruce Culvert, City of Barrow, and Ron Brower and David Hoffman of Ukpeagvik Inupiat Corporation, as well as North Slope Borough officials Keith Quintavell and Elise Patkotak. Thanks also to the Alaska Wet - ands Coalition and Arctic Power for including RDC board members in their respective Congressional tours of the North Slope Borough and ANWR while Barrow rolls out red carpet for RDC board RDC board members and staff join up with Alaska Wetlands Coalition members on the shores of the Arctic Ocean at Barrow.

Writer & Editor Carl Portman � 42cpu MC Rural Alaska living left quite an impres- sion on our visitors. Although the field locations differed greatly, there was some common ground regarding wet- lands regulation, policy and science. And without a doubt, abundance of wetlands was evident from every air- plane window and every bus seat, in every location. The group met with native corpora- tion officials, both village and regional, as well as community leaders, elected and administrative. On -site regulators were involved in many of the meetings. The weather was generally coopera- tive and everyone -got plenty of chances to get their feet wet, from the Arctic Ocean and permafrost of the North, to glacier rivers and forested wetlands in Southeast and Southcentral. Central to the discussions was the fact that dry land is a scarce and valu- able commodity in most communities around Alaska, not wetlands. The sheer abundance of habitat, the fact that most wetlands are frozen a good part of the year and the lack of a threat to Alaska's wetlands inventory was evident. The need for community infrastructure be- ing so apparent was remarkably the same wherever we went. Community officials also addressed the need for (and lack of) scientific backing for compensatory mitigation requirements when developing adja- cent to huge reserves of wetlands. The additional cost of creating new wet- lands, particularly when low in value and function, seems excessive and threatening to most rural communities in Alaska. After traveling here, most of the tour group did not have to ask why. Seeing firsthand what life is like in communities surrounded by a virtual sea of wetlands exposes the realities of rural Alaska and drives home the point that "no net loss" is not practical here. The uncertainty caused by the no net loss policy is made worse by a glaring inability to measure net gain. Any solution which fails to correctly measure success (net gain) seems hopeless in practice. Wetlands created by natural causes (earth- quake uplift) or up -front mitigation efforts are accounted fornowhere. Evencompen- satory mitigation is under -accounted for sincethe Corps does not recognize it in their statistics if another agency, such as U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) re- quires it. Whether or not Congress gets around to reauthorizing the Clean'" ter Act, which will provide a forun. ,r wetlands debate, a trip to the state which contains over one-half of the nation's wetlands inventory is a least a step in the right direction to make the policy debate more meaningful and fair.

' z. �3 September 1994 / RESOURCE REVIEW / Page 5 ANWR "twinning" concept meets strong opposition in Alaska (Continued from page 1) steps without consulting the State of Alaska," said Governor Wally Hickel in a recent letter to President Bill Clinton. "The promise of Alaska statehood en- compassed many sovereign rights, in- cluding the right to manage fish and resident wildlife wherever they occur," Hickel said. "The state already has in place an effective management regime for caribou and other wildlife resources in the refuge, and it appears that regime could be displaced if World Heritage Site status were established." President Clinton opposes drilling in the refuge, but there has not been widespread support in Congress to per- manently lock up the refuge's potential energy reserves. The most recent proposal, as well as an earlier one to designate the coastal plain a polar bear reserve, would es- sentially accomplish the same results as a Wilderness designation — a ban on energy exploration and development. "The failure to consult the Inupiat Eskimo people who live on the North Slope and adjacent to ANWR on this de facto wilderness proposal is very sad," said John McClellan, a Vice President of Arctic Slope Regional Corporation. "Oil production at Prudhoe Bay has created jobs, a local economy and a tax base for the 8,000 Eskimo residents of the North Slope," McClellan said. "Open- ing the Coastal Plain of ANWR could extend North Slope production for de- cades. This would permit the indig- enous native people of the Arctic to maintain schools, hospitals, jobs and other benefits that have come from carefully regulated oil production." Deputy U.S. Energy Secretary Bill White says there is no connection be- tween Interior's proposal for adjoining ANWR with Canadian parks and the Clinton administration's support for lift- ing the export ban on North Slope oil. While the issues are not connected, neither has the administration changed its position against drilling on the Coastal Plain, White said. "The administration found there is not a significant environmental impact resulting from a relaxation of the ban on Alaska oil exports," White reported. "Some environmental groups fear this may signify a change in administration policy on ANWR. It does not signify a change." The August Interior Department memo suggested that the administra- tion is looking at the ANWR proposal as the price Alaska would pay to get the export ban lifted. It urged top depart- ment officials to explore the interna- tional -preserve proposal "in the context of administration decision -making on Alaska oil exports." Environmentalists are worried that if Congress ends the ban, pressure will increase to drill in ANWR, especially with Prudhoe Bay oil production in de- cline. The twinning concept is widely viewed as an attempt to pacifying envi- ronmentalists opposed to lifting the ban. Becky Gay, Executive Director of the Resource Development Council and the former State ANWR Coordinator for Governor Hickel, said the price for lift- ing the export ban is far too expensive. She said both issues should be decided on their own merits. not linked together to appease non -development interests. "By agreeing to adjoin ANWR with park lands in Canada, the Clinton ad- ministration would be giving away what could be the largest untapped onshore oil field in the United States," said Gay. It's hard to imagine how any American President could hand over to interna- tional control an area in northeast Alaska that is the size of South Carolina." Gay said if the Clinton administra- tion continues to pursue the proposal, it should at the very least exclude the Coastal Plain from any merger. Perhaps the most insulting aspect of the administration's approach is that no impacted Alaskan groups —such as natives, the State of Alaska, the con- gressional delegation and those sup- porting drilling in ANWR -- have ever been contacted for their input on the park concept, said Debbie Reinwand, Executive Director of Arctic Power. "Not only is this park unnecessary, since the study area in question is part of a wildlife refuge, the caribou and polar bear resources are being man- aged in cooperation with the Canadi- ans," Reinwand said. "This park con- cept is nothing more than a backdoor attempt to prevent Congress from con- sidering future oil development in the region." Meanwhile, the North Slope Bor- ough has come out against a move by Defenders of Wildlife and other envi- ronmental groups to designate ANWR's Coastal Plain a polar bear reserve. "In addition to concerns that such a designation would impact our efforts to see oil and gas exploration allowed in ANWR, we fearthatthe classification of any distinct area as critical habitat for polar bears would lead to unnecessary and unjust restrictions on the subsis- tence harvest of the animals," , A Warren Matumeak,Director ofthe ti_ .,i Slope Borough's Department of Wild- life Management. More than 90 percent of ANWR is now closed to development and 40 percent has been designated Wilder- ness. But Congress specifically ex- cluded most of the Coastal Plain (8 percent of the refuge) from Wilderness designation because of its outstanding hydrocarbon potential. Development on ANWR's Coastal Plain could create hundreds of thou- sands of new jobs across America, just as oil development and production on Alaska's North Slope have done for the pasttwo decades. It also could increase the gross national product more than $50 billion by the year 2005 and save the U.S. over $14 billion per year in imports. If the Coastal Plain is opened for oil leasing, all of ANWR's designated Wil- derness — 8 million acres — would remain untouched. Under a full-d I- opment scenario, only about acres of the 1.5 million -acre Coastal Plain would be affected, an area equal to about one -tenth of 1 percent of the entire refuge. Page 6 / RESOURCE REVIEW / September 1994 Editor's Note: In conjunction with RDC's 20th Anniversary in 1995, the Resource Review will publish on a monthly basis opinion articles from its past presidents. They share a wealth of experience and hold unique insights to past, present and future resource development issues. The Resource Review is proud to feature their reflections and future visions. Robert Fleming served as co-founderofRDC, along with Robert Penney, in 1975. He served as President from 1977 to 1978. It could be said that the Organiza- tion for the Management of Alaska's Resources was formed basically as a protest group to oppose any plan which would transport Prudhoe Bay natural gas to the Lower 48 states in a pipeline routed through Canada. It followed that we must advocate an alternative all- American route through Alaska to tide- land, then by tanker to a U.S. terminal. Everyone in the rear section of an airporter shuttle bus in San Francisco got the message one day in 1975 when Bob Penney and I met by accident and immediately conducted impromptu, un- restrained and highly vocal first meet- ing. Enthusiasm and sense of purpose carried over when OMAR became Re- source Development Council forAlaska, Inc., and the scope of our concerns and efforts broadened. We became an ad- vocacy organization for the sensible development and use of the state's resources. In that role we began a program of research, building a body of informa- tion to enable our own RDC communi- cators to bring truth to the "unenlight- ened." I believe our information high- way worked in both directions. As RDC expanded and matured. it developed an especially knowledge- able staff, which took on a greater vari- ety of complicated issues. The staff moved far ahead of me in grasping new problems about which I knew little. The kaleidoscope that emerged from vastly A founding father tracks RDC's evolution over past 20 years Robert Fleming in a recent photo outside his home in Pou/sbo, WA. diverse resource related Alaska enter- prises spoke technical languages be- yond my realm and which the staff could translate to comprehensibility. Education. Maybe "awareness" is a better term for those of us reaching for the ultimate goal of consensus to achieve the much discussed balance between development and more en- lightened protection of the environment. To expect 100 percent consensus is unrealistic; someone once noted: "A wise man can change his mind, a fool never can." My personal contribution to OMAR and RDC was small compared to that of others, but I am gratified to have played a part. To see the organization up and Sept( running after 20 years, assuming a criti- cal role in Alaska's planning for the future, still offering its help as an advo- cacy for that elusive balance, is satisfy- ing to this one member of the original group advocating a natural gas line which, by the way, hasn't been built. As for Bob and Dolly Fleming, we are doing well on our rural, ten -acre spread a few miles north of Poulsbo, Washington where we have been busy trying to keep promises and covenants with aging parents. Personally, I never expected to live anywhere except Alaska, but for now, this is our reality. We look forward to and greatly en- joy our occasional contacts with Alaska friends and keeping track of RDC. If you find yourself in our neighborhood, we're in the phone book. Wetlands tour ...

Signed: Date /3 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Williams and City Council THROUGH: Tom Manninen, City Manager rkll FROM: Keith Kornelis, Public Works Dir ctor DATE: September 30, 1994 SUBJECT: Chester Cone Project - Cunningham Park Upgrade FOR: Council meeting of October 5, 1994 - Information I attended the meeting on the subject projects on 9/26/94 at 10:00 a.m. at City Hall. In attendance were: Mayor John Williams, City Jim Butler, Attorney for Cone Keith Kornelis, City Kathrin Sundet, ADF&G Jack La Shot, City Lance Trosky, ADF&G Rachel Clark, City Suzanne Fisler, 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: $3,000,000. 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 property. 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, CIP Boardwalk, parking, restrooms, and engineering = $498,000 2. Cunningham Phase I Boardwalk, parking, restrooms, land, and engineering = $499,000 3. Cunningham Phase II 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 wetland 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 meeting 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.

Box 196168 Anchorage, AK 99519-6168 Telephone 907/561-5311 Re: Notification Required Pursuant to the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification ACT ("WARN") It is anticipated that Marathon Oil Company ("Marathon") and Union Oil Company of California ("Unocal') will complete an agreement to exchange a number of gas properties and to change the operatorship of the Trading Bay Unit from Marathon to Unocal. (The facilities which comprise the Trading Bay Unit are the Steelhead and Dolly Varden offshore Platforms and the Trading Bay Production Facility.) This change of the operatorship of the Trading Bay Unit and exchange of gas properties will affect operations located in Anchorage at 3201 C Street, Anchorage, Alaska and in Nikiski at 52300 Nikiski Beach Road, Nikiski, Alaska. Facilities operated from Nikiski and also affected by the change are the Steelhead and Dolly Varden offshore platforms, the Trading Bay Production Facility, and Beaver Creek gas field. Regretfully, this will result in a significant and permanent reduction of Marathon positions at these operations and facilities. Attached is a list of job titles of positions which will be eliminated by this action and the number of affected employees in each classification. There are no future plans for Marathon to again operate the facilities which comprise the Trading Bay Unit. We anticipate that employees will be separated from Marathon employment on or about November 30, 1994. A total of about 68 of the approximately 150 employees in Alaska are represented by the International Union of Petroleum and Industrial Workers (IUPIW). The chief elected officer of IUPIW is George R. Beltz, International President, International Union of Petroleum and Industrial Works, SIUNA, AFL- CIO, 8131 East Rosecrans Boulevard, Paramount, California 90723. The local officer is Wade M.
