MEMORANDUM
TO: Kenai City Council
THROUGH: Tom Manninen, City Manager
THROUGH: Keith Kornelis, Public Works Di for 60
FROM: Jack La Shot, City Engineer
DATE: July 28, 1994
SUBJECT: Maintenance Shop Site Assessment
Attached is a proposal from Mike Tauriainen, P.E. to perform a site assessment of the
maintenance shop area, as requested by ADEC. As you can see, the complete
assessment may be in the neighborhood of $25,000 to $30,000, however, to get started
I would recommend doing the Phase I identified in the proposal for $6465.00.
This phase will be primarily research to gather information regarding the history of the site
and activities that have taken place prior to the city facility being located there. We may
learn enough through preliminary work that the entire site assessment may take a
different direction.

MAINTENANCE SHOP SITE ASSESSMENT FEE ESTIMATE
As presented in our work plan, Northern Test Lab will perform this project in phases.
Phase I of the site assessment involves gathering background information through the use
of aerial photograph interpretation, mapping, interviews and site inspection. After careful
evaluation of the information gathered in Phase I, decisions will be made regarding Phase
IIA, which is the proposed preliminary field investigation utilizing soil gas surveying, test
pits, and possibly geophysical surveys. Phase IIB work includes placing monitor wells and
will complement the efforts and findings of Phases I and IIA.
ADEC has identified the maintenance yard as a potential source of soil and groundwater
contamination, but there is reason to suspect other sources. If during the Phase I
investigation, off site sources of contamination are identified, the City may wish to direct
the investigation off site, to more thoroughly identify the source (or sources). Previous
military operations at or near the site may be a source of contamination. We have included
optional costs for a geophysical survey of the site and surrounding area. The costs
presented are preliminary, because we do not know how far the investigation will proceed.
Pete Campbell, Environmental Scientist will be Project Manager. Kathy Skinner,
Environmental Technician, will assist him and perform field sampling. Kim Murray and
Arne Tikka will assist as necessary. Mike Tauriainen will assist, and review all project
deliverables.
The City staff have expressed interest in actively participating in the site investigation.
Airphoto acquisition, mapping, records research, interviews, and backhoe operators will be
utilized to the fullest extent possible.
Costs are presented by phase. The investigation will proceed at the discretion of the City,
until satisfactory answers are provided.

SITE RISKS & HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS
ADEC has determined that environmental contamination has occurred at this site.
Therefore the following conditions should fairly be part of this proposal and any resultant
agreement.
The Client understands and agrees that NTL has no responsibility as a handler, generator,
operator, treater, storer, transporter or disposer of hazardous or toxic substances found or
identified at the project property. The Client will defend and hold NTL harmless from any
claim or action resulting from any contamination except that which results from negligence
by NTL.

Re: Basin View Subdivision Paving - RFP
Dear Mr. Kornelis,
My proposal for Basin View Paving Improvements is attached.
I will personally provide the project management and project review of the project. Oran
Woolley will be the project engineer and will perform the soils investigation and quantity
estimates. Charles Bilderback will also assist in the preparation of test hole logs. A local soils
lab will perform soils testing.
I propose to use a backhoe to excavate 12 holes on Dolchok Lane, Kim & A Court and Cub
Court. I expect that the road was built by stripping out the frost susceptible material and
backfilling with gravel obtained from roadside borrow pits. The purpose of the soils
investigation will be to determine the following:
1. Suitability of existing road materials for use a base under proposed paving.
2. Determine whether unsuitable soils or clearing debris were buried in the road prism.
3. Estimation of sizes of bury pits located in the road prism.
Typical test holes will be six to twelve feet deep depending on the depth to suitable native NFS
soils. The holes will be dug in the existing roadway to determine the nature of existing soils
and their impact on the proposed construction of the paving and drainage improvements.
We also propose to run a level loop through the project to determine overall drainage
constraints. It appears that a low spot at the location of the drywell on Kim & Ang Court will
have a significant influence on the design of drainage improvements for the project.
All design work will be performed in my office, located at 215 Fidalgo, Kenai. We are
currently working on a similar road design for the City of Soldotna. We have adequate staff to
complete these projects and the Basin View project simultaneously. We will have no trouble
with keeping the project on schedule. Due to our highly computerized design methods, we
were able to prepare the plans for the Haller -Evergreen -McKinley paving project in three
weeks, thereby getting the project out to bid two weeks earlier than scheduled and making it
possible to pave the project prior to freeze-up this fall.
We will begin surveying and soils investigation promptly upon receipt of Notice To Proceed.
We currently carry $250,000 professional liability insurance and have maintained continuous
coverage since the firm was founded in 1982.
I propose to provide the cost estimate and report as described in the Request For Proposals for
a fee not to exceed $2,780. An estimated design budget is attached for your review. Design
surveying and preparation of bid ready documents usually ranges around 6% of the cost of
construction. Construction inspection, construction surveying and quality control testing
usually ranges around 10% of construction cost.
Sincerely,
m. J. Nelson, PE

PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Wm. J. Nelson, P.E. will be the Project Manager for the Basin View Subdivision Paving
Improvements. Mr. Nelson will be the contact for the City Mr. Nelson will also coordinate
and supervise the work of others on the project and will be involved with review of the project
cost estimate and report.
Mr. Oran Woolley will be the project engineer. Mr. Woolley will log the test borings, prepare
the construction cost estimate and will run the survey level loop. Mr. Buck Bilderback will
assist in the survey and drafting test hole logs.
Soils testing will be performed by a local soils lab.
As principal of Wm. J. Nelson & Associates, I am personally involved at all phases of the
project from pre -project planning through soils investigation, field surveying, preliminary
design, final design, bidding, pre -construction, construction and post construction, the City is
assured project continuity and minimizes the chances of "dropping the ball" with resulting
costly change orders. We have successfully employed this concept on all of the numerous
projects that Wm. J. Nelson & Associates has completed for the City and have proven it to be
an effective and efficient management method.
SCOPE
We propose to strictly adhere to the Scope of Services defined in the R.F.P. and as restated in
the Methodology of this proposal.
The project Scope includes the provision of soils investigation and cost estimating services for
Basin View Subdivision Paving Improvements, located in the City of Kenai. The project
consists of Dolchok Lane (2700 ') Kim & Ang Court (800') and Cub Court ( 250').
We propose to accomplish the project by following the plan outlined in the Methodology
section and utilizing the staff and organization described in the Management section. In the
Methodology section we have broken down each phase into tasks and have listed the specific
objectives of each task. This method of pre -project planning has enabled us to accomplish our
design projects without costly change orders. We have completed several projects for the City
of Kenai using this method including: Haller, Evergreen, McKinley Paving (1993), Setnet
Drive and Setnet Court Street Reconstruction and Paving (1992), Cohoe and Coral Streets, Old
Town Streets, Marathon Road, Float Plane Road, and Kenaitze Court.

RE: 1994 LIQUOR LICENSE RENEWAL - PROTEST WITHDRAWAL
Mr. D's - Beverage Dispensary/Hotel/Motel - One Year
In May, 1994, the City Council directed me to send a letter to
the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board protesting the liquor
license renewal for Mr. D's (Kenai Kings Inn). The protest was
due to sales and hotel/motel taxes owed.
I have been notified by the Kenai Peninsula Borough that all
personal and real property taxes for Kenai Kings Inn are paid in
full and the sales tax account registered for the business is
filed and paid through the month ending June 30, 1994. (The July
return is not due until August 31, 1994.)
I have also been notified by the Kenai Finance Department that
all hotel/motel taxes and water and sewer amounts are current for
this account.
It appears Mr. D's (Kenai Kings Inn) has "satisfied all
obligations to the City of Kenai (KMC 2.40.020)."

MEMORANDUM
TO: Carol L. Freas, City Clerk
City of Kenai
FROM: Sheryl A. Paulsen, Acting City Clerk
City of Kenai
DATE: August 2, 1994
RE: LIQUOR LICENSE RENEWAL - MR. D'S
Possible Change of Previous Protest
Today I took a call from Linda Barclay at the Borough. She asked
me why the City had not removed its protest against the King's
Inn since they paid their January, February and March taxes in
July. In looking at our file, I could find nothing notifying us
of any payment since our protest on 5/4/94. Linda faxed me the
attached page from the Borough computer indicating those payments
and the balance due of $3,006.79 (including interest and
penalties). She told me that the ABC Board was waiting to hear
from us.
I then called Beth Nelson at ABC who told me that Marilyn
Talmadge (of King's Inn) is meeting today with the Director of
ABC to complain about the non -renewal of their liquor license;
our protest is the only reason for the denial. I told Beth
(after talking with Cary) that we will notify Council at the
8/17/94 meeting that payment has been made and of the balance
still owing. Cary also said it's probable Council will only
change their protest to the new amount owing, not withdraw their
protest completely.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Re: 1994 LIQUOR LICENSE RENEWAL - PROTEST
Mr. D's - Beverage Dispensary/Hotel/Motel - One Year
At their regular meeting of May 5, 1994, the Kenai City Council

liquor license.
The Kenai City Council hereby notifies the Alcoholic Beverage
Control Board of its protest to the 1994 liquor license renewal
for Mr. D's. This protest is for the reason of the following tax
liabilities arising wholly out of the operation of the licensed
businesses:
Mr. D's
Hotel/Motel Tax - $2,837.89 (First Quarter, 1994)
Sales Tax - Missing filings of January,
February & March.
$25.00 fees
The applicant is being advised of this protest by copy of this
letter sent certified, return receipt requested. The City of
Kenai will withdraw its protest upon payment of the above -noted
obligations to the City of Kenai.

Please note that remittance of past due taxes does not remove any
other grounds for protest the City might assert in addition to
tax delinquency.

COUNCIL ON AGING
August 4, 1994
;"MEETING***
10:00 a.m.
Senior Center
Joanna Hollier - Chairperson
1. CALL TO ORDER
Members present: Joanna Hollier, Al Pease, Pauline Gross, Sam Huddleston,
Gene Seay, Roger Meeks, Loretta Breeden, Lucille Billings
Members absent: Georgetta Funk
Also present: Councilperson Linda Swarner, Pat Porter, Loretta Harvey,
Sylvia Johnson
2. APPROVAL OF AGENDA Approved as presented.
3. APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Pat Porter read the minutes from the March 14th meeting. An error was noted in the
second motion which should have read: Sam Huddleston moved that there not be a
Senior of the Year Award. Minutes APPROVED as amended.
4. OLD BUSINESS
a. New Board Appointments
Pat Porter introduced and welcomed the new Board members who were: Lucille
Billings, and Loretta Breeden.
b. Bylaws
Porter reported that besides the change from seven members to nine members on the
Council there was one more change. It was decided that the Council did not need a
Secretary or Treasurer, just a Chairperson and Vice -Chair.
c. Funding Sources
Pat Porter reported that annual budgets must be submitted to Council at the first of
the year. Funding sources are not confirmed until June, so Porter must estimate the
budget, and then submit a new budget when sources are confirmed. Income to date
includes:
Older Alaskan Commission(OAC matching funds) $124,322
Council on Aging
August 4, 1994
Page 1
Kenai Peninsula Borough $ 50,253
United Way (grant award) $ 17,267
U.S.D.A. (reimbursement for meals served) $ 15,606
Program Income (meal donations, etc.) $ 48,750
Title V $ 18,444
City of Kenai (in -Kind, match for OAC funds) $ 13,948
(Non -Departmental, utilities, etc.) $ 21,720
Rentals (Center rental) $ 12,000
Unencumbered balance $ 3,655
Senior Connection $ 4,000
Gaming Revenue (raffles, etc.) 2,000
TOTAL $331, 965
Pat Porter noted the personnel funding and said she would like to increase the
ActivityNolunteer Coordinator's hours to 20 per week. Currently it is difficult to keep
people in this position because at 14 hours per week they receive no paid leave or
benefits. At 20 hours per week they would receive paid leave and retirement benefits.
There would be adequate money in the budget to fund the extra hours.
MOTION AND VOTE:
SAM HUDDLESTON MOVED TO EXTEND THE ACTIVITY/VOLUNTEER
COORDINATOR HOURS TO 20 PER WEEK. ROGER MEEKS SECONDED.
PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.
4. New Station Wagon Purchase
Pat Porter explained that the center needed to purchase a new station wagon. Some
people have trouble climbing into the vans, or transferring from wheelchairs into the
vans. Funding for this vehicle could come from the Title V money which is basically
the contingency fund. There is about $18,000 in the account at this point and the
money is used if there is a budget shortfall. Since funds have been allocated for
FY94195 Porter did not feel the entire $18,000 would be needed. Porter would like to
request that the City match half of the cost of the vehicle, this would leave a reserve
of about $5,000 in the contingency account.
Al Pease agreed that a station wagon would serve the seniors well. It is difficult to
climb up into the vans. It was estimated that a station wagon would probably cost
between $17,000 and $24,000.
Council on Aging
August 4, 1994
Page 2
Linda Swarner cautioned that several vehicles were purchased at the previous City
Council meeting. Some Councilpersons were concerned about taking money from the
General Fund so early in the Fiscal year.
MOTION:
AL PEASE MOVED TO ASK COUNCIL TO PROVIDE MATCHING FUNDS FOR THE
PURCHASE OF A NEW STATION WAGON FOR THE SENIOR PROGRAM. SAM
HUDDLESTON SECONDED.
Loretta Breeden felt this was a small amount of money from the City's fund and
agreed that at least $5,000 needs to remain in the Senior's contingency account. She
wondered if the motion should include the working for a full size wagon.
Porter said that the City shop had already prepared the specs for this vehicle and the
specs were for the largest station wagon available.
Roger Meeks expressed concern that the Council might want the Senior Program to
expend more than one had of the price of the wagon. This may leave a low balance
in the contingency account. He did not want to over tax council with requests from the
Seniors.
Pat Porter explained that the Senior Program does not ask for much. In fact, up to
last year they were the only city department that paid their own utilities. She felt the
program is fairly self supporting and does not abuse the City financially.
Sam Huddleston called for the question.
VOTE:
BREEDEN-YES, BILLINGS -YES, HUDDLESTON-YES, HOLLIER-YES,
GROSS -YES, SEAY-YES, PEASE -YES, MEEKS-NO
MOTION PASSED BY MAJORITY VOTE.
Roger Meeks said he voted no because he did not agree with the wording of the
motion and was concerned that Council might make the Seniors use their entire
contingency funds.

5. NEW BUSINESS
a. Management of Housing
Porter reported that Ed & Margaret Goggia were the low bidders to manage the
Vintage Point Manor, and will be managing one more year. However, if there are
tenant problems that need to be addressed the Council on Aging will handle them.
b. Increase in Hours for Activity/Volunteer Coordinator
Discussed under item 3, Old Business.
c. Budget 94/95
Porter had gone through each item under 3, Old Business.
d. Works Program
Porter reported that in the past the Center has utilized community service workers,
who have been sentenced by the court to perform volunteer service. It was
determined by the Finance Department that these workers were not covered under
Worker's Compensation. The Legislature was suppose to deal with this issue but
failed to do so. At this point the City cannot utilize community service workers as it
presents a liability.
6. ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business Huddleston moved to adjourn, Pease seconded. The
meeting was adjourned at approximately 11:15 a.m. The Council decided to set future
meeting dates for the 2nd Thursday of every other month. The next meeting will be
October 13th, 10:00 a.m. Senior Center.

4. OLD BUSINESS
a. Kenai Gardening Show - Susan Hett
Susan Hett reported that she has been talking to local gardeners
and plant businesses. Summer is the busiest season for
greenhouses, etc., so they would prefer not to have a flower show
in the summer. It has been suggested that the show be a houseplant
show in the spring, so plants do not have to be transported in cold
weather.
Loretta Breeden felt it would be good to kick off the season with
a show. Susan Hett said there are several sites where a show could
be held, such as the Kenai Auditorium, KBVCC, etc. The Committee
offered to help in any capacity.
5. NEW BUSINESS
1. Election of Officers
Loretta Breeden wanted the Commission to start thinking about
electing new officers. Linda Swarner said the Kenai Municipal Code
(KMC) addresses that item under Boards and Commissions. Officers
are elected the first meeting of the new year.
Loretta Harvey pointed out that since Gerry Sparks had resigned,
the Committee was without a Vice Chair, and wondered if one should
be elected.
Jeanene Benedict asked for nominations for Vice Chair.
MOTION AND VOTE:
LORETTA BREEDEN NOMINATED SUSAN HETT FOR VICE CHAIR. SYLVIA
JOHNSON MOVED THE NOMINATIONS BE CLOSED. SUSAN HETT WAS ELECTED
THE NEW VICE CHAIR.
2. Setting Meeting Schedule
The Committee agreed to meet through October and then break until
the first of the year.
Bob Frates said there were some items that needed to be ordered for
to plant now for next spring.

3. Tour of Parks and Plantings 4. Volunteer Appreciation
Chairperson Benedict suggested that the Committee set up a tour and
ask people to bring a sack lunch or perhaps they could just have
dessert.
Linda Swarner suggested that the tour be in the early evening since
many of the volunteers work. They could meet at Leif Hansen Park
and then tour the parks and plantings. She thought a dessert would
be appropriate in the evening.
The Committee set the date for August 18th, 6:00 p.m. at Leif
Hansen Memorial Park. Benedict said she would bring dessert.
Loretta Breeden suggested each committee member bring a six-pack of
pop.
Nina Selby said she would call the volunteer list and tell them
about the tour. Linda Swarner said she would invite Council and
asked Loretta Harvey to invite the Parks and Rec Commission.
5. Chamber Beautification Awards
Sylvia Johnson reported that she had judged the Beautification
awards and there had only been four entries. Loretta Breeden felt
that if the Beautification Committee worked with the Chamber on
these awards there might be more participation.
Breeden suggested that a tree or shrub could be planted in honor of
the award winners. The Clarion could do an article and take
pictures when the tree is planted and dedicated.
6. Extra Plants
Bob Frates had asked for a recommendation at the last Council
meeting regarding the extra plants that were donated to the city.
The Council had no recommendation.
6. REPORTS
a. Chairman Benedict
Reported she would like to see some spring bulbs planted in some of
the perennial beds. A new bed had been recently developed in Leif
Hansen Park near Dan's TV and would be a good spot for tulips.
Kenai Beautification Committee
August 9, 1994
Page 3
Loretta Breeden thought tulips would work well, since they would
bloom early and then when the perennials started to bloom the
tulips would be finished.
Bob Frates said he would have to order the bulbs soon to be able to
plant them for next spring. It was decided that he would need at
least 100 bulbs.
MOTION AND VOTE:
Nina Selby MOVED that tulips be purchased for the new flower bed in
front of Dan's TV, unless a new mound is needed. Loretta Breeden
SECONDED. PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.
Chairman Benedict noted that the previous season the Committee had
requested that something other than marigolds be planted in the
City of Kenai sign. There were marigolds planted in the sign again
this year. Bob Frates said they were chosen because they are
bright color spots and make the letters stand out.
Linda Swarner said some citizens were disappointed that the Welcome
to Kenai sign was not planted earlier.
Chairman Benedict said she had spoken to Sharon Williams about
payments from the Donated Flower Fund. Gerry Sparks turned in
receipts and received reimbursement for $230, and Merle Dean
Feldman was paid $260, the account balance has been depleted.
Feldman had received $150 from Parks and Rec but no money from the
Donated Flower Fund. Sharon said she had given the check to John
Williams and he was going to compose a letter of thanks to Merle
Dean to send with the check. Benedict was concerned that Merle
Dean had not been paid because she has done so much for the city.
Linda Swarner suggested that the Committee could nominate Merle
Dean for the Hero of the Day column in the Clarion. She suggested
that Jeanene work on the wording for that award and she would try
to find a picture for the column.
Chairperson Benedict felt that the Goals & Objectives of 1994
should be reviewed to see how many had been accomplished. The
Committee should also begin to think of new Goals & Objectives for
next year.
Benedict also mentioned the possibility of painting the cement
circle planters. Perhaps local artists or schools could be
contacted to paint the planters so they wouldn't look so drab when
the flowers aren't blooming. It was decided that the planters not
be painted as it might encourage graffiti and also compete with the
flowers.

b. Parks & Rec
The Parks and Rec crew is winding down for the summer. The Bernie
Huss Fitness Trail reconstruction is almost complete, however there
is still a problem with vandalism. The Clarion will be doing an
article about the trail, and hopefully this will raise the public's
awareness about the problems there. The City may acquire the green
building by the FAA tower. If so, they will probably tear it down.
C. Council
Linda Swarner said she had discussed Merle Dean Feldman's flower
bill at the previous Council meeting.
7. PERSONS SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD
a. Merle Dean Feldman
Merle Dean Feldman arrived and Loretta Breeden thanked her for all
her hard work and said the beds looked beautiful. Feldman thanked
her and said she had a great group 'of volunteers to work with.
Feldman reported that next year the perennial beds will have
multiplied and will need to have some plants transplanted to other
beds. She discussed future plans regarding the beds and said she
would not have to provide very many plants for the next season due
to the perienniels multiplying.
Chairperson Benedict also thanked Merle Dean for all her hard work.
She had visitors this summer and they were very impressed with the
City's beautification efforts.
8. OUESTIONS AND COMMENTS

A-4. CONSENT AGENDA
Mayor Williams requested the following change to the Consent Agenda:
ADD TO CONSENT AGENDA:
C-8. *1994 Games of Chance and Contests of Skill Permit Application - Alaska Special Olympics,
Inc. (Annual Golf Tournament & Golf Ball Float 8/13/94).
MOTION:
Councilperson Monfor MOVED to approve the consent agenda and asked for unanimous consent.
Councilperson Swarner SECONDED the motion. No objections. SO ORDERED.
ITEM B: SCHEDULED PUBLIC COMMENT
None.
ITEM C: PUBLIC HEARINGS
C-1. Ordinance No. 1601-94 - Prohibiting the Parking or Operating of Motor Vehicles in any State
or City Maintained Road Right -of -Way Which has been Landscaped, Seeded or Improved in a
manner not Intended for Vehicular Traffic.
MOTION:
Councilperson Measles MOVED to adopt Ordinance No. 1601-94. Councilperson Monfor SECONDED the
motion.
Measles asked the City Attorney if there would be any problem with the City enforcing this ordinance on the
state rights -of -way. Attorney Graves stated the only problem would be if someone received permission from
the state to park in a right-of-way; he stated to his knowledge the state has not done that. Measles asked if
the ordinance should be re -written to prohibit the state from giving that permission within the city. Graves
answered it would be difficult to tell the State what they can and can't do with their rights -of -way.
Swarner stated she would like to amend the ordinance by removing the last four words, "human or animal
power. " She said she didn't want to see covered wagons on the rights -of -way either. Graves stated he had
+gken the definition of "motor vehicle" from Title 28 of the Alaska State Code. Swarner said maybe the last
.ree words should be deleted, "or animal power."
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING
AUGUST 3, 1994
PAGE 3 OF 18
Councilperson Measles stated he didn't think that was the place to make the amendment because
it changes the definition of motor vehicle. Councilperson Monfor asked about enforcement of
this amendment: Will it be enforced? How will it be enforced? What guidelines will the police
department use to enforce it?
Williams stated this code is written to exclude any conceivable type of motor -operated vehicle;
it does not address anything else, such as covered wagons or carts. Measles stated the way it's
written it does not prohibit a trailer or a boat from being parked in a right-of-way.
Councilperson Swarner withdrew her motion; Councilperson Monfor agreed.
Williams asked if Council would like to table this Ordinance until next meeting so some wording
can be added. Graves suggested this item be tabled only until later in this meeting, maybe to
Item D-8, and he would re -write the ordinance.
MOTION:
Councilperson Measles MOVED that the agenda be amended to move Item C-1 to D-8.
Councilperson Swarner SECONDED the motion. No objections. SO ORDERED.
C-2. Resolution 94-46 - Awarding the Bid for One 4-Door Fire Department Sedan to
Alaska Sales and Service for a Lump Sum Amount of $19,947.00.
MOTION:
Councilperson Monfor MOVED for approval of Resolution 94-46 and asked for unanimous
consent. Councilperson Measles SECONDED the motion. No comments. No objections. SO
ORDERED.
C-3. Resolution No. 9447 - Formally Accepting FY95 Municipal Matching Grant
Number 95/587-4-001 from the State of Alaska, Department of Administration in
the Amount of $211,665.00 for a Water Quality/Development Program, and
Accepting the Conditions of the Grant Agreement.

C-4. Resolution No. 94-49 - Transferring $2,401 in the Boating Facility Fund for
Additional Money for a Pick-up Truck.
MOTION:
Councilperson Swarner MOVED for approval of Resolution 94-49 and asked for unanimous
consent. Councilperson Measles SECONDED the motion, but objected to unanimous consent.
Councilperson Bannock stated he would like to abstain. Mayor Williams accepted the abstention.
Councilperson Measles stated he hoped that when budget time comes around next time the
department heads put a lot more thought into what is going into the budget. He said this item
should not have come in $2,400 over budget. Monfor stated the City should have gotten a fleet
rate for the vehicles it's buying this year. Williams asked Administration if any consideration
was given to buying these trucks en masse. Measles stated that in the future we should look into
bidding all of them as a package deal.
Councilperson Measles withdrew his objection to unanimous consent. No further objections.
No further comments. RESOLUTION PASSED.
C-5. Resolution No. 94-50 - Supporting the Acquisition of 100 Acres of the Chester
Cone Kenai River Property by the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustee Council Under
Their Small Parcel Acquisition Program.
MOTION:
Councilperson Bannock MOVED for approval of Resolution 94-50. Councilperson Bookey
SECONDED the motion.
Attorney Jim Butler asked to speak to the Council. He extended Mr. Cone's appreciation to the
Council for their prompt attention to supporting his proposal. He stated Mr. Cone was out of
town and unable to attend and thank the Council personally. Butler said Mr. Cone's proposal
is before the Trustee Council at this time and in the process of being evaluated. He stated the
Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly will be entertaining Mr. Cone's application on Monday
night, and they have been looking toward the City of Kenai to see what it would be doing in this
matter.
Councilperson Measles stated he will support this resolution because of the circumstances
surrounding this piece of property; however, he stated he objects to this type of use of the oil
spill trust fund.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING
AUGUST 3, 1994
PAGE 5 OF 18
Councilperson Monfor stated she doesn't have a problem with this resolution; however, she
stated she does have a problem with the State of Alaska telling a man what he can do with his
property which he held before statehood, and he had to wait until he is 80 years old before he
could see any benefit from his ownership of this land.
Mayor Williams asked if there were any objections to unanimous consent. No objections. No
further comments. SO ORDERED.
C-6. Resolution No. 94-51 - Awarding bid for pick-up for Street Department to
Peninsula Ford for $24, 804.00.
MOTION:
Councilperson Monfor MOVED for approval of Resolution 94-51. Councilperson Swarner
SECONDED the motion.
Swarner stated she thought the discussion during budget time was about purchasing used trucks.
Williams stated during budget discussions the Council had questioned the sanity of buying so
many vehicles in one year. He stated Administration had said many of their vehicles were in
such poor repair they were becoming dangerous to operate. Williams said as he recalls the
Council decided to go ahead and replace them this year because there was plenty of revenue.
Swarner stated she also objects to buying large items "piece meal."
Williams asked Kornelis if this was the truck that had been budgeted at $25,000; Kornelis
answered yes. He stated a plow and pick-up had been budgeted at $25,000, and they came in
under budget at $24, 804. Kornelis said when they prepare the budget in December, they go to
the car dealers and get estimates. Those figures are used for budgeting.
Bannock stated Parks & Recreation Director Kayo McGillivray did buy two trucks with the
money he budgeted. He stated this Public Works truck came in under budget; and the pick-up
truck which was purchased at the last meeting also came in at the budgeted amount.
In regard to the paragraph in Kornelis' memo about Peninsula Ford not having the KPB tax
compliance form, Bannock said he knows some local governments are very strict about that form
being filled out before the bid amount is valid. He stated if the City of Kenai is going to make
that form a requirement it should not make an exception for it after the fact. He said he supports
this resolution otherwise. Williams stated Peninsula Ford has recently changed hands and asked
if this incident occurred under the new ownership. Kornelis stated it was the new Peninsula
Ford. Bannock stated it had nothing to do with the ownership.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING
AUGUST 3, 1994
PAGE 6 OF 18
Measles asked what size trucks the City is buying and how many of them have plows. Kornelis
answered the street pick-up is a one -ton with a V-plow on the front for use on the Spur Highway
and at intersections for snow removal. The dock pick-up is 1/2 ton. There will be three plows,
with the water/sewer one being used for the lift stations. Measles stated when you put a snow
plow on a pick-up you take two to three years off the potential life of that vehicle. He asked if
that was worth not having to send a front-end loader out to the lift stations. Kornelis said he
feels it is worth it because it saves time and money (in labor).
Manninen stated there may be times when the front-end loader may still be required, depending
on weather conditions, but it will help to have the flexibility of two or three vehicles with plows
to get the plowing done in a timely manner. He stated there are new streets to plow this year,
too.
Measles said he didn't disagree with any of that. He said he just wanted to remind Council you
won't get seven or eight years out of a pick-up if you are moving snow with it all winter.
Manninen said that's why the specs were for large vehicles. Kornelis said the truck that's being
replaced is a 1978. It is rusted out and would not be useful for plowing.
Williams asked if there was any objection to unanimous consent. No objection. No further
comments. SO ORDERED.
C-7. Resolution No. 94-52 - Awarding bid for pick-up for boating facility to Craycroft
Chrysler for $19,401.00.
MOTION:
Councilperson Measles MOVED for adoption of Resolution 94-52. Councilperson Monfor
SECONDED the motion.
Bill Bedsworth from the audience spoke. He stated he had been hearing the various resolutions
voted on and the comments about a fleet purchase. He suggested Council reject all of tonight's
resolutions, gather them together and put them out for fleet bids.
Williams thanked Mr. Bedsworth for his comments. He stated at this time the purchases were
too far along to back out. Bannock stated the truck that was purchased at the last meeting and
the two trucks being purchased tonight were all bid on one bid. The fire station car was not part
of that bid. He also said, "... in today's automotive world fleet subsidies are a thing of the
past." He said General Motors, Ford and Chrysler are all experiencing "record profits, record
capacities and record sales. " He said they have no incentive to offer discounts. He said he could

Beautification Committee - Williams pointed out the application of Kim Booth in the packet for
appointment to the committee. Seeing no objections to her appointment, SO ORDERED.
Kenai Marketing Video Committee - Bookey reported the meeting was held with Hal Smalley,
Bookey and Vantage Point. They talked about different aspects of the video. Amy Eriksson is
taking all the movies she can in the good weather. She is taking some of them from airplanes.
She wants to put different types of action in the video. The next meeting will be on August 16.
He stated Eriksson is very enthusiastic; and he believes the City will end up with a very good
product. Williams stated he attended a meeting in Anchorage last week. He viewed Anchorage's
newest marketing video. He said it was very good, and he has asked the Clerk to write to
Anchorage for a copy of the video for this committee to view and use for ideas.
Williams also stated he asked EDD for 150 Kenai brochures to use in conjunction with the new
video. The brochure is an excellent public relations item and saved the City the expense of
printing something like it.

Councilperson Swarner MOVED for approval of Ordinance No. 1601-94. Councilperson

Graves suggested the amended ordinance could read as follows:

Facility and the Kenai Solid Waste Transfer Facility Projects.
Williams stated he put this item on the agenda for the Council's review. No comments.
H-5. Discussion - Basin View Subdivision Paving L.I.D.
Williams stated there was a difference of about $14,000 between the proposals of William J.
Nelson and Wince, Corthell and Bryson. He wondered if Nelson fully understood what the City
was requesting, or if some of the engineers expected to have to do more work --although they
were all given the same information in the bid packet.
Monfor stated she would not have a problem awarding the bid to Nelson for $2,700 because
that's a reasonable amount, and the project will give the Council and the people in Basin View
Subdivision a better picture of what to expect. Bookey stated he agreed, but he didn't understand
the major discrepancy in the bids. Kornelis pointed out the Request for Proposal included in the
packet that went to the engineers. He said that in it the City was not asking for a design project;
it was asking for an accurate cost estimate for the improvements. Kornelis said two of the
bidders included some field surveying and other things they thought were necessary. He said
Bill Nelson was involved in the original construction of that road and may have knowledge that
the others may not have had. Kornelis stated the rates in the bids were about the same, but the
other bidders included more time and surveying than Nelson did.
Bookey asked Kornelis if he is comfortable with Nelson's proposal. Kornelis said he is
comfortable with all of them. Williams stated Nelson's proposal appears to include everything
the City is requesting. Bookey stated maybe the other two bidders read something into the
request for bids that wasn't there or maybe they misunderstood the request.

authorized in the last five years. The list included 27 applications, 2 of which were
denied. The average encroachment is 2.9 feet; the largest is a 12-foot front yard; the
smallest is a .3-foot side yard. He asked that copies of the report be forwarded to the
P&Z commissioners.
6. 1942 Kenai Fire Truck: Williams stated this truck was found in Cooper Landing. The
fire department is requesting Council's permission to retrieve and restore it. Chief
Burnett showed pictures of the truck. Mayor Williams said he supported the idea.
Council agreed and told Burnett to go ahead. Bookey volunteered his trailer and time to
go get the truck. Burnett stated he is working on a deal to trade the truck for some
training time for the Cooper Landing Fire Department.
7. Sakhalin Island Meeting in Anchorage: Williams stated the Municipality of Anchorage
is now looking at Sakhalin Island in the same light Kenai is. They are looking at
enlarging their airport for the purpose of staging and shipping massive amounts of
equipment by air freighter. Alaska Airlines is planning to expand into Sakhalin Island.
Mayor Lancaster, Rich Underkofler and Ross Kinney will be making the trip to Sakhalin
Island in September to continue training sessions with the city governments in Okha and
Nogliki.
Williams stated he has asked City Manager Manninen if he is interested in going to
Russia; Manninen has said he is interested. Williams asked Council's permission and
thoughts about Manninen going to Russia the first week September for approximately six
days. Manninen stated he would be more comfortable if Williams went since he has
already been there twice and knows what's going on. Williams stated he (Williams)
applied for a visa in case it works out that he can go. He said he will pay for the trip
himself if he goes again. Manninen will be attending the International City Managers'
meeting in Chicago in September, as well; and that may be a conflict. Williams stated
he thinks it would be a great experience for Manninen. Measles said he thinks it would
be good for Manninen to get a new perspective on city management. He said Williams
is the political side of city government, and Manninen's perspective is different.
Williams said he has talked with Vice -Mayor Measles, as well, about going to Russia.

Williams asked who was in the audience representing the bidders. It was noted Oren Wooley
was present, representing William J. Nelson & Associates. Williams asked Wooley, "Does
William J. Nelson & Associates fully understand exactly what they are going to do here and
propose to do the work that we expect?" Wooley answered, "Yes, we do."
MOTION:
Councilperson Monfor MOVED to accept the bid of William J. Nelson & Associates for $2,780.
Mayor Williams directed Administration to move ahead with William J. Nelson & Associates.
No further action taken.
ITEM I: ADMINISTRATION REPORTS
I-1. Mayor
1. Lake Clark National Park: A new parks chief is being named; a newspaper clipping
is in the packet. Williams stated he has had several discussions with various people about
the Lake Clark headquarters being located here. He said he has been discussing the
matter with the Kenai Natives Association and EDD. City Manager Manninen has been
present during discussions with Williams and Frank Fiala, the local Fish & Wildlife
Officer. Williams said, "We are beginning to formulate a plan." Williams doesn't have
all the information yet, but he is moving ahead in trying to get the headquarters in Kenai.
2. Fire Training Ground: Discussions are ongoing with the FAA and EDD about where
to get the money and how to develop the training ground. He said they are now looking
toward the U. S. Department of International Affairs for money.
3. Brick Pavers: Williams asked Council to consider ideas about a pioneer memorial wall,
possibly at the treed end of Leif Hansen Memorial Park. He suggested that the city sell
the paving bricks to citizens and put their names on the bricks. He asked Council if they
think it's a good idea and whether he should continue to investigate the possibilities.
Swarner stated she thinks it's a good idea but maybe not in that location and maybe not
a wall. Monfor stated she really likes the idea but would suggest having it in the area of
the Chamber building. Williams said he would talk to some local engineers about the
cost of drawing sketches. Swarner suggested a statue. Council directed the Mayor to go
ahead in gathering information about the project.

legislators to do what they please. He said he feels we might as well keep what we have
unless we get about a 90 % consensus.
2. Purchase of City Trucks and Plows: Manninen stated he stands behind the purchase
of the new vehicles; he thinks Council made the right decision.
I-3. City Attorney
1. Burnett v. City of Kenai (golf course case): Graves said he received a phone call today
from Attorney Andrew Guidi saying CIGNA had settled this case. He said he doesn't
have all the details yet but will notify Council when he does. CIGNA will pay all
settlement costs; it won't cost the City anything. He stated he is sure the court will
approve the dismissal without any problem.
2. Inlet Woods: Graves stated he hasn't heard anything back on Inlet Woods. He said
John Parker's survey and report of the properties involved is complete and available in
his office for review.
I-4. City Clerk
No report.
I-5. Finance Director
No report.
I-6. Public Works Director
No report. Williams stated he had received a call from a citizen in Thompson Park about how
the contractor is handling certain parts of the project. The citizens there are apparently
concerned about the parking. They think the contractor is opening up too much at a time.
Kornelis said he had received the same call and is working on it.
I-7. Airport Manager
1. Airport Gift Shop and Airport Bar Leases: Ernst said the gift shop lease will expire
on l l / 1 /94 and the bar lease on 12/ 1 /94. He said he is working with the attorney and
Kim Howard to draft the appropriate bid documents. He will get the bid out in time to
award the new bid on those dates. He said the restaurant lease expires on 2/28/97.

Williams stated he believes it would be a good idea for the whole Council to go there
some time. Monfor disagreed. She stated she "has a hard time" with the money that's
being spent that way, even in the school district. She said as long as she sits on the
Council she will never vote to send any of the Council to Russia at public expense.
Williams stated most of the expense is coming from the U. S. Information Agency with
about $80 billion the federal government has appropriated for these programs.
Manninen stated they have all had the same concerns Monfor expressed. He said,
however, in the last month or so it appears some progress is being made, such as the oil
and food contracts. He said in the next 10 or 20 years the Pacific rim countries are going
to be developing rapidly. He said, "We can either watch it go or we can develop the
capability of people here to benefit from it." He said Russia is going to be the next
frontier for the twenty-first century. "We can either be a part of it or watch it happen. "
Monfor said she doesn't disagree with that; the Kenai School District was the forerunner
in developing relationships with Russia. She said what isn't being addressed are the
problems in Russia such as their nuclear waste and their pollution into the oceans
affecting our fish.
Williams said he is very pleased to see grown children of our pioneers garnering a $9
million food contract. He named former Mayor Steinbeck's son and former Mayor Vince
O'Reilly's son-in-law. Williams stated because of the interaction between Americans and
Russians we know more about the problems there, too, so now we can do more about
them (e.g., nuclear waste clean-up procedures).
Monfor said her point is "... we need to look at the whole spectrum -- not just the good
things than can happen." She said the average taxpayer would be very unhappy to think
the City was spending any money to send somebody to Russia. Williams stated he wants
the average taxpayer to know there is $80 billion in federal money set aside for this
program.
I-2. City Manager
1. Alaska Municipal League: Manninen stated the sub -committee meeting is next Monday
via teleconference, which he will be handling for Williams. He asked the Council to
review the AML information in the packet and give him some input about whether any
changes should be made in the Municipal Assistance revenue sharing formula. Manninen
stated the way it's set up in the proposal there are 67 "losers" and 87 "winners" so there
will be no consensus on anything. He said the result is like giving a blank check to the
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING

suggested the Administration call the State again and see if they will re -program
it.
Also, the phone company cut the pavement on Frontage Road last summer and has
not yet fixed it (in front of Paradisos). There are others places, too. Williams
stated one of them is in front of his office building.
Swarner: Merle Feldman still has not been paid for the seeds and flowers used by
Beautification. Williams said he will look into it tomorrow. There is about $200
in the volunteer account that is earmarked for her.
Also, under purchase orders over $1,000, is listed the June sales tax in August.
Robin stated that was paid the end of July so it is on this list. Swarner said she
doesn't like "after the fact" purchase orders. Robin explained it is a bill that must
be paid.
Monfor: Is the dirt pile going down, or what? Kornelis answered it has gone down and
will be gone in September.
The right-of-way between the Dairy Queen and Cans that is used as a roadway -
is that part of the highway widening project? It is a very dangerous situation.
Swarner asked if the City paid for the fence between Dairy Queen and Cans?
Cans paid for it.
Bannock: He will not be at the next meeting. He noted in the minutes for the last Board of
Adjustment hearing Art McComsey's name appears as an attendee, but he was not
at the meeting. (The clerk will correct the minutes.)
Williams: Included in the packet is a Borough ordinance amending the sale tax code. He
suggested the Council review it, see if it affects them and/or their businesses, and
keep up with this type of thing so we can answer questions from the public.

2. Kenai Marketing Video: Ernst stated he is working with Amy Eriksson of Vantage
Point Productions in taking photos of the airport and aircraft landings, etc., for the video.
3. Joint Planning Meeting with FAA: Ernst said this was a monumental meeting because
it was the first one ever held in the State of Alaska. It's purpose was to categorize CAIP
funding and to identify priority safety projects that can compete in all of the United States
for the discretionary funds. He stated Alaska has not been competitive in this process
before, but now there is the addition to the north end of the taxi -way. Ernst said he
hopes to get discretionary money for the majority of that project. He said usually when
states get that money they tend to use it for their own airports and neglect the municipal
airports, so he is pleased the meeting was held in Kenai. Ernst stated the FAA brought
to the meeting the entire planning and programming branch from Anchorage; Kenai's
Mayor and Vice -Mayor Measles were present. The FAA was looking for information
from the users of the airport and from the City.
Monfor stated she really likes the Airport Manager's report that appears in the packet.
She asked Kornelis to do something similar for the revenues at the boat ramp at the end
of the year.
Ernst stated that, as a point of interest, the Kenai Airport is "over 4,000 enplanements
higher than our highest year ever." Monfor said, "That's nice, but the $71,000 for
parking is nicer."
Williams stated in looking at the actions the Council has taken in the City, the Council
has done a good job in most instances. He said recently the City of Seward instituted a
$30 tax on businesses in Seward and hopes to make only $9,000. He stated he believes
the Kenai City Council has made some good decisions.

- as I see it, it's a transfer of income from myself and others in
the area to Mr. Aase. I purchased my home there, as did others, in
reliance on the legal protections of zoning and the covenants, and
I think that 40,000 square feet provides a country atmosphere which
separates homes with screens of vegetation and trees, and this is
exactly why we purchased in the area. If one person is allowed to
violate the zoning -- excuse me, if one person is given a variance
which would change the zoning for that person, I think it will be
impossible for the City Council or the Board of Adjustment to
refuse to grant variances to others in the future on similar
arguments. In that regard, I don't believe the constitution
permits a state in which, of course, the City is part of, to
discriminate between individuals. So once you grant a variance on
this basis to Mr. Aase, you will be forced to avoid discrimination
in future variance requests that are based upon similar issues.
That's all I have to say.
WILLIAMS: Thank you very much. Are there any questions from
Council? Seeing none, thank you very much. Is there anyone else
who wishes to testify in this matter? Please come forward, state
your name for the record, be sworn in.
BAUGHMAN: My name is Sandra Baughman. I live at 2920 Schooner
Circle, which is the adjoining property to this property.
CLERK: Do you solemnly swear or affirm that the testimony that you
are about to give in the case now before this Board to be the
truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
BAUGHMAN: I do. Okay. As I said, I adjoin the property that's in
question here. I feel that Don Aase should not be granted a
variance on this property due to the rural residential zoning law
requiring a 40,000 square foot minimum. He is asking for us to let
him bend the law by 12,500 square feet (that's approximate); that
is a big part of land. I figure that's over a quarter of an acre.
I really don't see how a request should even be brought with such
a big variance. If he wants two homes in VIP, I know that there's
a lot of empty lots over there -- I figure about 20. I don't know
if he owns some more of these, but my assumption is that he does.
And I am afraid that if he gets a variance on these -- this
particular lot -- he's gonna try to do it to the rest of his, re -
subdivide the whole thing. With him only doing this as an
investment - spec houses with no intention of occupying them - he
is being greedy and is ruining what my family and neighbors all
enjoy about VIP lots with the RR zoning restrictions on them. This
is why we bought in VIP. We have met the zoning requirement and so
he should and anyone else building should comply to this rural
zoning law. My property value is threatened by this and I, along
with a lot of others in my neighborhood that I got to speak with,
feel that we might be forced into a sewer/water problem in the
future like I have heard about a place called Thompson Pass, and we
really don't want to have that expense at our costs; we don't want

BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT
APPEAL HEARING OF DONALD AASE
APPEAL OF PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION
DENIAL OF VARIANCE
AUGUST 3, 1994
KENAI CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS
7:00 P.M.
MAYOR JOHN J. WILLIAMS, PRESIDING
ROLL CALL & CALL TO ORDER:
The Board of Adjustment was called to order by Mayor John J.
Williams at approximately 7:05 p.m. Council members present were:
Williams, Measles, Monfor, Swarner and Bannock. Absent were
Smalley and Bookey.
WILLIAMS: This evening of August 3, 1994, I hereby call to order
the Board of Adjustment hearing in the appeal of Donald Aase.
Council, you have before you the appeal. You also have before you
several documents with regard to the appeal that include plats,
letters, permits, and so forth. We also have here with us this
evening members of the community and the maker of the appeal
Mr. Donald Aase.
Is there anything that the Council would like to discuss prior
to beginning the hearing? All right. Seeing none then, I will ask
whoever would like to testify in this matter of the appeal to come
forward. Please state your name clearly for the record and be
sworn in. Council should also recognize the fact that in the
recently presented material is a letter from Mr. Aase to the City
Council that should go along with this. All right. Yes, please
come forward, state your name for the record and the clerk will
swear you in.
BEDSWORTH: My name is Bill Bedsworth, and I reside at 2560 Seine
Court, Kenai.
CLERK: Do you solemnly swear or affirm that the testimony that you
are about to give in the case now before this Board to be the
truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
BEDSWORTH: I so swear. Shall I proceed?
WILLIAMS: Yes, please do.
BEDSWORTH: I'll be brief. I believe that the city government has
created an implied contract between those people that live in the
area. This contract is one that assures us that the legal
infrastructure that we faced when we purchased homes there will
continue through time and not be changed in such a way as to reduce
home values. As I see this recommended -- excuse me, this appeal -
-1-
the large-scale development of water and sewer in Thompson Park is
because of the size of their lots there many of which are
substantially smaller than any of the lots in VIP. Those lots in
_Y Thompson Park are so small that, in fact, some people have had to
resort to buying additional lots in order to put septic tanks and
cess pools in. We're talking lots that are 12-13,000 square feet -
really small lots. It was done many, many years ago before there
were any codes. So I don't want you to have the feeling that VIP
subdivision is in anywhere near the same category with regard to
water and sewer as Thompson Park is because those are extremely
small lots there. Yes?
CHIVERS: If we allow it this time, though, what's to say that next
time and the next time after that it's not gonna get smaller and
smaller?
WILLIAMS: That point is well taken. All right. Were there any
questions from Council? Is there anyone else that would like to
testify before the Council this evening? Anyone else? Council
have any comments to make? Ok. Seeing no comments from Council
and having heard testimony from the general public, all of those
wishing to be heard this evening, again the Board of Adjustment -
Board of Appeals - will take all of these documents and this entire
matter into consideration. We will work together again with our
City Attorney to develop a report, and we will bring that report
forward for the general public to review within 30 days of
tonight's hearing. Is there anything further that Council would
like to say - the Administration? - in regards to this matter? All
right. Seeing nothing else come before this Board of Appeals -
this Board of Adjustment - then, and with permission of Council, I
will close the Board of Adjustment of August 3, 1994 regarding the
appeal of Donald Aase.

Regarding "treatment" or style of the video, the Committee directed Eriksson to make it fast -paced and
upbeat. It should be oriented toward the marketing of Kenai to industry, not to tourists. It needs to
show that Kenai is a full -service community with everything to offer business and employees' families.
Eriksson suggested that the "copy" in the video be kept to a minimum, with much use of voice and
upbeat music and fast moving scenes. She believes that scenes with movement and people in them are
important. She will be filming ball games in progress, people going in and out of businesses, children
getting off of school buses, etc.
It was decided the video should be no more than 8 to 10 minutes long. The production schedule is:
September 1, 1994 Draft completed for review by Council.
October 1, 1994 Project completed.
The next meeting of the committee is scheduled for Tuesday, August 16, 1994.

City of Kenai
ORDINANCE NO. 1603-94
AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA
DECREASING ESTIMATED REVENUES AND APPROPRIATIONS BY A NET
AMOUNT OF $3,738 IN THREE SENIOR CITIZEN FUNDS.
WHEREAS, at the time the City budget was approved by
Council, the grant awards for the Council on Aging Title III

MEMORANDUM
To: Kenai City Council
From: Kim Howard, Administrative Assistant
Date: August 11, 1994
For: August 17, 1994 City Council Meeting
RE: Assignment of Lease
Lot 4A, Block 3, Gusty Subdivision #5
Lessees Michael and Joyce Treat have requested the City's consent
to the attached Assignment of Lease for the above referenced
property to Jim Doyle. Mr. Doyle intends to use the property for
storing trailer vans.
In 1979 the City entered into a 55 year lease for this property
although it was within the Runway Protection Zone. In 1989 the
City received a letter from the FAA stating,
Lot 4A lease may not be extended, modified, or changed in
any way for the benefit of the lessee without including
the 90-day cancellation clause and approved by the FAA.
Mr. Doyle has no objection to the 90-day cancellation clause. A
draft Amendment to Lease, incorporating the 90-day cancellation
clause, has been prepared for Mr. Doyle's signature.
The lessee is current in lease payments and taxes.
Providing the FAA approves of the Assignment of Lease, does the
City Council consent to the Assignment of Lease?

Re: Lot 4A, Block 3, Gusty Subdivision No. 5
Request for FAA Approval of Lease Assignment
Dear Ms. Follett:
In 1979 the City of Kenai entered into a 55 year lease for Lot
4A, Block 3, Gusty Subdivision No. 5. As you can see from the
attached map, the property is within the Runway Protection Zone.
In January of 1989 the building on the lot burned. Nothing has
been rebuilt on the site.
Recently we received a request from the lessees asking the City
to consent to the assignment of the lease to Jim Doyle. Mr.
Doyle proposes to use the property to store trailer vans. Mr.
Doyle currently leases several other lots in this area for that
purpose.
In a letter from the FAA dated February 9, 1989 (copy attached),
Mr. Oyster states,
Lot 4A lease will not be extended, modified, or changed
in any way for the benefit of the lessee without
including the 90-day cancellation clause and approved
by the FAA.
Mr. Doyle has no objection to an amendment to the lease adding a
90-day cancellation clause. Does the FAA approve of the
assignment of lease, providing the lease is amended to include
the 90-day cancellation clause?
Thank you for your attention in this matter.
Sincerely,
K")ward
Administrative Assistant

Call for Comments
Proposed Oil and Gas Lease Sale 85A, Cook Inlet Exempt
The Alaska Department of Natural Resources (ADNR), Division of Oil and Gas (DO&G ,
requesting socioeconomic and environmental information and comments from agencies, local
governments, and the public on proposed Oil and Gas Lease Sale 85A, Cook Inlet Exempt, which
is currently scheduled for April 1996. Any information or comments provided as a result of this
request should be sent to the division by December 15, 1994.
DO&G is specifically interested in information concerning:
1) fish and wildlife species and their habitats in the proposed sale area;
2) the current and projected uses in the area, including uses and value of fish and wildlife;
3) the reasonably foreseeable cumulative effects of oil and gas exploration, development,
production and transportation on the sale area including the effects on subsistence uses; fish
and wildlife habitat, populations, and their uses; and historic and cultural resources;
4) the reasonably foreseeable fiscal effects of the proposed lease sale and subsequent
activity on the state and affected municipalities and communities, including the explicit and
implicit subsidies associated with the proposed lease sale, if any;
5) the reasonably foreseeable effects of oil and gas exploration, development, production
and transportation on municipalities and communities within or adjacent to the proposed
lease sale area.
DO&G would also like to know of any current or new programs and projects planned in the
proposed sale area. Data regarding potential effects of the proposed sale on air and water quality;
characteristics of local communities; and the location of archaeological and recreation sites within
the proposed Sale 85A area are also requested. Recommendations regarding potential mitigation
measures for protection of the environment and various values and resources are encouraged.
State and federal agencies, local governments, industry, and the public are invited to comment on
any aspect of the proposed sale. Information submitted concerning proposed Sale 85A will be
used to prepare the preliminary finding which is scheduled to be available in August 1995. The
preliminary finding will describe the proposed sale area and its resources, discuss the sale's
potential effects, and propose mitigation measures. It will also contain the department's analysis
of the sale's potential consistency with the Alaska Coastal Management Program (ACMP), and the
Kenai Peninsula Borough, Mat -Su Borough and Municipality of Anchorage Coastal Management
-1-
Plans. Under AS 38.05.946, an affected municipality has three opportunities to hold public
meetings, once after the department's notice of preliminary decision, again after notice of intent to
issue a final decision, and then again after notice of the sale.
After public and agency review, the preliminary finding will be followed by a final finding and
decision of the director as required by AS 38.05.035(e) and (g) and a conclusive consistency
determination as required by the ACMP. The final finding is scheduled to be issued on
January 9, 1996.
As outlined on the attached map, the proposed sale consists of approximately 750.000 acres of
Cook Inlet area lands.
Considerable information on fish and wildlife has been compiled as a result of previous lease sales
in this area. The Cook Inlet region is used extensively for commercial, subsistence, and
recreational fishing and hunting. Five species of North Pacific salmon are fished commercially
throughout Cook Inlet. A sixth, steelhead salmon, is a popular sport fishing species. Numerous
anadromous streams, several of which are major fish producers, are found within the proposed
sale area. Herring spawning and fishing areas extend from Tuxedni Bay to Ursus Cove. King,
Dungeness, and Tanner crab; and Razor clams are also present. The proposed sale area provides
important habitat for moose, black and brown bear, caribou, and waterfowl. Several species of
marine mammals are found near or within the area. Protected or endangered species known to
occur include the American peregrine falcon, bald eagles, harbor seals and sea otters, and finback
and gray whales.
A number of state and federal wildlife refuges, game sanctuaries, and critical habitat areas exist
within or near the proposed sale area. These areas encompass important fish and wildlife habitat,
and have significant scenic and recreational value.
State and federal agencies, local governments, industry, and the public are invited to comment and
provide socioeconomic and environmental information. In commenting on the proposed sale,
please be as specific as possible. In accordance with recently passed legislative amendments to
AS 38.05.035, a person is eligible to file a request for reconsideration and subsequently an appeal
to the superior court of a Best Interest Finding decision if they have meaningfully participated in
the process by either submitting written comment during the period for public comment or
presenting oral testimony at a public hearing. Comments and information should be received by
December 15, 1994 at the following address:

Proposed State of Alaska Five -Year Oil and Gas Leasing Progr���''
The Alaska Department of Natural Resources, Division of Oil and Gas, is requesting comments on
the following seven sales which are proposed for the state's Five -Year Oil and Gas Leasing
Program for 1995-1999. All but Sale 90, a new Cook Inlet sale proposed for 1999, are on the
current leasing schedule. These sales have been included for additional public comment because
the Division is proposing to delay each sale beyond the date it was originally scheduled and
because the North Slope/Beaufort Sea sales are being reconfigured to include acreage from other
sales.

Reconfigured and Delayed
Reconfigured and Delayed
New Sale
Delay of these sales is necessitated by additional requirements imposed by recently passed
legislative amendments to AS 38.05.035(e) for Best Interest Findings and for public notice and
comments. Reconfiguration of the sale areas has been to ensure that all of the acreage in the six
North Slope/Beaufort Sea acreage proposed in the 1993 Program remain on the schedule. As a
result of delaying sales, proposed Sale 84, Copper River, has been deleted. However, this area
will be available for exploration licensing once that program is initiated.
The appearance of these proposed sales in the Five -Year Oil and Gas Leasing Program does not
mean that the sales will automatically be held. This Call for Comments is the first step in a lengthy
planning and review process that may or may not result in conducting these proposed oil and gas
lease sales. The preparation of the Five -Year Oil and Gas Leasing Program, in which sale areas
are identified before the proposed sale dates, allows local governments, state and federal agencies,
the public, and the petroleum industry ample opportunity to study each proposed area and to plan
for potential effects-ifthe sale would occur.
The areas described and depicted here are very general. In all cases, the actual areas that finally
may be offered for leasing will be smaller than what is shown. The proposed sale area's land
status will be analyzed approximately twelve months prior to each lease sale, and only those lands
in which the state owns all or part of the subsurface estate will be offered for lease. In those areas
-1-
involving coastal waters, state ownership extends seaward to the three-mile limit.
There may be environmentally sensitive lands within these proposed sale areas. These lands will
be identified later in the leasing process, and special protective measures may be required if oil and
gas leasing takes place on these lands.
Additional opportunities for comment will occur at several intervals during the leasing process.
These opportunities include a second Call for Comments issued about three years prior to the sale
and a third call about two years prior to the sale. In addition, approximately nine months before
each sale, a request for comments on the director's preliminary finding is made. If the proposed
sale is in the state's coastal zone, an analysis of the sale's consistency with the Alaska Coastal
Management Program is included in the preliminary finding.
In commenting on these proposed sales, please be as specific as possible. The Department of
Natural Resources is interested in learning about areas of particular environmental and social
concern within the proposed sale areas. In accordance with recently passed legislative amendments
to AS 38.05.035, a person is eligible to file a request for reconsideration and subsequently an
appeal to the superior court of a Best Interest Finding decision if they have meaningfully
participated in the process by either submitting written comment during the period for public
comment or presenting oral testimony at a public hearing.
The Division is particularly interested in receiving comments on the revised timeline and on the
extent of the acreage proposed for inclusion in each sale. Any parties that are interested in
expanding proposed sale areas to include additional acreage or in altering the sequence of sales
should include those suggestions in their comments. Comments must be received by September 7,
1994 and should be sent to:
James J. Hansen
Chief Petroleum Geophysicist
Division of Oil and Gas
P.O. Box 107034
Anchorage, Alaska 99510-7034
Comments may also be submitted via courier, (Suite 1398, 3601 C Street, Anchorage) via SYSM
(NORCDOG), or by telecopy (562-3852).
The biennial Five -Year Oil and Gas Leasing program will be available late January 1995. The
document will include the new five-year schedule, descriptions of each sale area, a summary of
sales held in 1993 and 1994, and other topics of interest to the public, state and federal agencies,
and the petroleum industry.

KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING

speak for the local Dodge dealer in saying "the price that was quoted was the price," whether
the quote was for one or for all. Bannock said this is called "piggybacking." This is where you
get your fleet allowance and, if you can't get the entire list of automobiles, you are still able to
qualify. He said that puts the City of Kenai in the fortunate position of being able to pick and
choose. He said if the last three trucks had been bid as a fleet of "all or nothing," it's possible
no one would have bid at all.
Williams stated a relative of his recently made an offer on a car at a local dealership and was told
that the price was firm --they don't dicker these days.
Williams asked if there was any objection to unanimous consent. No objections. No further
comments. SO ORDERED.

Smirnoff, discusses the possible formation of an Alaska -Sakhalin
Chamber of Commerce.
I telephoned Mr. Smirnoff and asked if there would be any cost
(dues, etc.) involved for members of the joint chamber. Mr.
Smirnoff stated he did not believe there would be. Mr. Smirnoff
added at this time, they would like letters from interested
organizations stating their support of the principle and concept
of the joint chamber of commerce. Mayor Williams requested the
item be placed on the agenda for discussion.

SAKHALIN-COLLOQUIUM OVERVIEW
A wide cross section of interests was represented at the July 29th colloquium on Sakhalin
and its relationship to Alaska. The enclosed list of participants testifies to the level and
diversity of interests in Sakhalin. The primary interest, it appears, is driven by the
upcoming construction of petrochemical facilities on Sakhalin and the anticipated
corresponding demand for products and services, hopefully to be provided by Alaskan -
based companies.
The consensus of opinions seems to be that the potential for utilizing Alaskan resources
is there. However, putting together a deal is still very much a complex issue with no
clearly defined procedures which need to be followed. There is no clearing house of
information of what is needed, where it may be found, how to obtain the appropriate
information and contacts, how to get the products and services to the attention of the
appropriate parties and how to eventually get the business.
In short, big players like Marathon Oil and Shell have virtually unlimited resources when
it comes to working with their Russian counterparts in reaching agreements. The smaller
companies, however, still find themselves in the dark when it comes to getting their
products and services to the end user.
It is suggested that what is needed is an inventory of services required by both the
Russians as well as the MMMMS consortium. Equally important is for this side to
produce an inventory of available products and services from Alaska which could be
provided to the consortium and to the Russian entities to include local and regional
governmental agencies. This inventory should be based on experiences gained from the
construction and operation of the TAPS project. The similarities between the gas project
on Sakhalin and the oil project in Alaska are obvious. While the end product is different,
the logistics needed to make the project a viable enterprise are very much the same.
It appears that, in general terms at least, the following support areas require the attention
of Alaskan service and product providers:
Transportation - multi modal
Telecommunications - long distance and local
Security
Housing
Transportation - to and from the project, and on -site
Medical support - emergency, as well as on -site routine
Provisions and feeding
Recreation - both off and on -site
Naturally, the highly technical field and operational support is the purview of the oil
patch and we need not address these requirements here. It must be assumed that the
industry is on top of the opportunities and is working with the consortium. However,
assumptions are dangerous to make so perhaps the oil patch should be included into the
mix.
The keys to all of the support functions becoming viable enterprises are reliable
transportation to and from Sakhalin and availability of reliable round-the-clock
telecommunications. These two areas require very specific attention from Alaska. It is
here that Anchorage's role can be instrumental. In terms of staging air transport and as
a logistical supply base, our role could be a pivotal one. Telecommunications, especially
satellite based, may be direct but still require technical support and switching capabilities.
Alaska offers both through a number of international telecommunications companies based
here.
Although attention is being focused on Sakhalin, we must not ignore the on -going
opportunities in other sectors of the Russian Far East and beyond. If carriers establish
routes to transport passengers and goods to Sakhalin, it is only prudent to consider
continuing on to Vladivostok, Khabarovsk, Blagoveshchensk and even Harbin.
The proximity of both Japan and Korea to Sakhalin Island suggest that there will be a
certain amount of competition from these two geographic areas. Sapporo, especially, will
play an increasingly important role as a supplier of goods and R&R site. With its well
developed tourism infrastructure, the Island of Hokkaido presents ample opportunities for
recreation. Because of its proximity to the project, Hokkaido's shipping companies can
readily access Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk with cargo and passenger vessels in a matter of hours.
On the air transport front, it is clear that Anchorage International Airport could become
a vital staging area for movement of goods to Sakhalin and beyond. The possibility of
cargo coming to Anchorage in bond for trans -shipment via barges and regular vessels and
then air lifted into the Russian Far East should be studied carefully. Because marine
shippers can provide lower rates for cargo that is destined for foreign ports and is in
bond, the rates will be very attractive and not raise the ire of Federal and State regulatory
In closing it is important to note that a unified effort must be made by those Anchorage -
based agencies, organizations, companies and individuals with vested interests in seeing
Anchorage benefit from the Sakhalin project.
The formation of an Alaska -Sakhalin Chamber of Commerce will be just such a step.
Through membership in the organization members will have access to common areas of
interest and concern and will have an opportunity of communicating with one another in
an organized forum. It is suggested that one of the first steps would be to produce a data
base reflecting the members' strengths, areas of expertise and generally providing basic
information on all of the companies in the organization. An inventory of goods and
services. Such a data base would go a long way in bringing buyer and seller together for
the benefit of both.
If you have an interest in becoming a founding member of the ASCOC it would be
appreciated if you would respond in writing to this office so that initial steps toward
achieving this goal could begin.
In a conversation with Governor Krasnoyarov's office this week, I was given unequivocal
assurance that such a proposal would be welcomed by local Sakhalin authorities as well
as the island's private sector. I trust that we will receive the same level of commitment
from the American side.

MEMORANDUM 1992
TO: Kenai City Council j4r
THROUGH: Tom Manninen, City Manager
FROM: Keith Kornelis, Public Works Directoref
DATE: August 12, 1994
SUBJECT: Water Fountain - Lief Hansen Memorial Park
FOR: Council discussion on 8/17/94
After Public Works had the water fountain in the Lief Hansen Memorial Park built, the
water and sewer crew took over its maintenance.
There has been constant maintenance problems with this fountain. One of the
contributing factors is the large supply of heavy throwing rocks that surround the fountain.
As you can see from the attached pictures, the fountain head is being hit and damaged
with these rocks.
With Councils permission, Public Works would like to concrete over these rocks with
some type of solid apron around the fountain. If the rocks are desirable we could maybe
imbed them in the concrete.
We are definitely open for suggestions. I am sending a copy of this memo to Doctor
Peter Hansen and requesting his input also. He provided the funds for this fountain.
Does Council have any suggestions? Do they have a problem with us concreting over
these rocks?

MEMORANDUM
TO: Kenai City Council
THROUGH: Tom Manninen, City Manager-'
FROM: Keith Kornelis, Public Works Director
DATE: August 16, 1994
SUBJECT: Contaminated Soil from Airport Generator and Public
Safety Building Underground Fuel Tank Abandonment
The contaminated soil found around the buried fuel tanks for the emergency generators
at the Public Safety Building and Airport were properly stored at the City Shop.
When Glacier Environmental started cleaning the contaminated soil at the Kenai
Courthouse we asked them to give us a price to also clean this contaminated soil we
have stored at the City Shop. Glacier has been reluctant to give us a proposal because
they were concerned with getting the contaminated courthouse soil cleaned up properly
and on time.
We Oust received the attached proposal from Glacier to clean the subject soil We had
anticipated a cost of $6,000 to $10,000. Instead they are proposing some trade-offs.
Glacier will treat and dispose off -site the treated soils at no charge for the following:
The City will haul the soil to the courthouse site by Monday August 22, 1994, and
dispose of the liners. The City may need more time to get ADEC approvals.
2. The City will reimburse Glacier for their testing cost. It is estimated to cost around
$1,001 for shipping and lab analysis. (Whoever cleans this soil will have to do this
testing.)
3. The City will extend the completion date for the Courthouse Soils Cleaning Project
from September 15, 1994 to September 30, 1994.
4. The City will allow Glacier to store their equipment at the courthouse site this
winter at no charge (until May 1, 1995).
Page 2
Soils Removal Shop Site
8/16/94
We have been frantically trying to work out some details with ADEC to allow this to
happen. Unfortunately, we just got Glacier's proposal, which we asked for over two (2)
months ago, and they need to know now if they are to clean this soil. ADEC will not
allow Glacier to dispose of these soils at the disposal site they are presently using. We
propose letting them dispose of it at the old city dump.
There are a couple of choices:
1. Accept Glacier's proposal and Council approve Change Order No. 2 on the
Courthouse Contaminated Soils Project and the P.O. to Glacier for the testing of
the Airport and Public Safety soils.
2. Do not accept Glacier's proposal and find someone else to give us a price to treat
and dispose of the contaminated soils.

RE: Treatment and disposal of approximately 130 cubic yards of petroleum contaminated soil
at the City Shop located at the comer of Airport Way and Willow Street.
Dear Ms. Clark,
Glacier Environmental Services, Inc. (Glacier), offers this proposal to remediate and dispose of
petroleum contaminated soil currently stock piled at the above referenced site. The soil will be
treated by soil washing methods in our wash plant currently operating at the Courthouse site.
Glacier will treat and dispose off -site of all treated materials at no charge to the City of Kenai for
consideration of the following:
• The City will be responsible for loading and transportation of the soil from it's present
location to the Courthouse site. Liners at the Shop site as well as disposal of any liner
material that may accompany soil to the Courthouse site will be disposed of by the City.
This proposal must be approved and the soil delivered to the Courthouse site by Monday,
August 22nd, 1994.
The City will reimburse Glacier at our cost for sample shipping and confirmation analysis of
treated soils. The number and frequency of compliance samples is described in the Alaska
Courthouse Site, Workplan For Remediation of Diesel Contaminated Soils dated May 24,
1994. In addition to Diesel Range Organics (DRO), treated soils should also be tested for
Gasoline Range Organics (GRO) and Benzene, Ethyl benzene, Toluene and Xylenes
(BETX). Sampling and Regulatory Reporting will be conducted by Enviros at no charge to
the City. A quote from Sound Analytical for this analysis is attached. Estimated sample
shipping costs are $65.00.
• The City will extend the current project completion date of September 15, 1994 to
September 30, 1994 to allow adequate time to bioremediate wash water and fines generated
by this work.
• The City will allow Glacier to store components of our wash plant at the Courthouse site
during the winter months at no charge. These components would include a 20 foot
container, two sand screws, two conveyors, one vibratory screening plant and one attrition
scrubber. All other equipment will leave the site. Glacier will assume full responsibility for
security of our equipment. Glacier will remove all equipment from the site by May 1, 1995.

Ms. Rachel Clark
City of Kenai
This proposal assumes that a simple one page letter/workplan will be approved by the
Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) to complete this work. This letter will
reference previous work associated with the stock piled soil and the approved Glacier Workplan
for the Courthouse site. Similarly, a short final report including analytical results and disposal
location will be sufficient to meet DEC requirements.
In our meeting this morning, we discussed the possibility of the City purchasing the fence
surrounding the site. Glacier will sell this fence to the City at our cost of $7,150.00.
We appreciate the City's consideration of this proposal and will look forward to your response.
Please call me at 1-800-275-1701 if I can answer your questions.

To Whom It Concerns:
We are writing this letter to voice our objection to the motion to re -subdivide Lot 1, Block
3 of VIP Park Estates Subdivision. We own Lot 7, Block 1 of VIP Park Estates
Subdivision which is located directly across the street from the lot in question.
It is our understanding that all lot re -subdivisions must be approved by Zoning and
Planning. As a concerned property owner we request that the re -subdivision of Lot 1,
Block 3 be denied.
Please let us know if we need to take further actions with the City of Kenai to document
our objections.
Thank you for your efforts in keeping our neighborhood zoned and subdivided the way it
was when we purchased our lot in this magnificent area of Kenai, Alaska.

Dear Mr. Zurbinas:
The City of Kenai is requesting a schedule for repaving the various areas that you or your
subcontractor have excavated. Two areas that immediately come to mind are:
1. Marine and Willow
2. Frontage Road - near Pizza Paradisos
Jack La Shot, City Engineer, has contacted Newberry (your subcontractor) requesting
these areas be repaved as soon as possible. It is now fall and these repairs should have
been taken care of this spring. Please expedite this work.
Jack gave you permits last fall with the understanding the areas would be repaired as
soon as possible in the spring. Maybe you should not have done this trench work until
you were prepared to repave the trench immediately.
Please respond with an explanation and schedule that I can pass on to our City Council.
Sincerely,
Keith Kornelis
Public Works Director

Juneau Anticipates Exciting 1994 Conference
by Mayor Jamie Parsons
Juneau, one of the most beautiful and cosmopolitan cities in Alaska, eagerly
welcomes participants in the 1994 Local Government Conference of the Alaska
Municipal League. As the state's capital attraction, Juneau combines small town
charm, beautiful scenery, and friendliness with the excitement of state government
activities and a major tourist attraction. These are all qualities that will combine to
make your visit memorable.
Juneau has a rich history. Founded by goldminers Richard Harris and Joe Juneau
in 1880, the town quickly grew from a typical boomtown to a center for large-scale
hard -rock mining. For 60 years mining continued to be the primary economic
lifeblood of Juneau. By the time the mines closed in 1944 due to worker shortages
brought on by World War II, Juneau had diversified. The government was trans-
ferred from Sitka in 1906, establishing Juneau as Alaska's capital. Today govem-
ment -- federal, state, and local — employs one out of every two Juneau workers.
Tourism is the largest private employer and continues to grow.
Juneau is an exciting year-round destination. During the winter months tourism
thrives with outdoor activities. Eaglecrest, the municipality owned downhill ski area,
offers challenging runs and spectacular scenery. Plus, there are numerous cross-
country ski trails throughout the City and Borough. During spring and fall months arts
abound. Several theater groups, a symphony orchestra, an opera company, and
merous artists keep Juneauites and visitors entertained. Music lovers enjoy
especial treats in spring with the annual Alaska Folk Festival and the Juneau Jazz and
Classics Festival. Summer months offer tours and activities highlighting the
beautiful surroundings and abundant fish and wildlife. Over 360,000 visitors will
experience Juneau during the summer of 1994.

Municipal Aid Option
Out for Comment
Mayors of all AML member munici-
palities were recently asked to respond
to a draft proposal for a new program to
share state revenues from commonly
held resources with local governments.
The proposal, considered a "work in
progress" by members of the Municipal
Aid Working Group, was mailed to each
mayor in late July.
Background
The Municipal Aid Working Group
(MAWG), appointed by AML President
John Torgerson last winter in response
to a request from the membership, was
charged with considering whethera new
program of municipal aid would be more
easily defended against cuts and, thus,
have more stable and predictable fund-
ing than the current State Revwwe
Sharing and Municipal Assistance pro-
grams, which have been under attack
for the last decade. The group was
given the task of designing, evaluating,
and recommending to the members a
new, unified program of state assis-
tance to municipalities.

Healthier
Communities Award
The third annual Healthier Communi-
tiesAward, sponsored by The Healthcare
Forum's Healthier Communities Part-
nership and Marion Merrell Dow, Inc.,
honors the bold efforts of communities
worldwide to improve their health sta-
tus. This award recognizes the unified
efforts of leaders from all sectors of the
community-- health, government, busi-
ness, education, and others --who have
joined togetherto redefine healthcare in
a spirit of collaborative problem solving.
Awards are based on vision, commu-
nity -wide effort, commitment, and out-
comes. Awards are presented in three
community categories: small, rural, and
regional communities; large, urban, and
suburban communities; and international
communities. Each winner receives a
$10,000 award to a designated commu-
nity project and recognition at the 1995
Healthier Communities Summit, April
22-25, 1995 in San Diego, California.
All entries must be received by Octo-
ber 30,1994. For more information, call
415-421-8810. Application forms are
also available by calling the AML office
at 907-586-1325.
Calculating the Costs
of Mandates
The National League of Cities
provided the Alaska Municipal Lea,.e
with a workbook on calculating the costs
of mandates. The workbook is available
to all AML members.
Defining what constitutes a mandate
is almost as difficult as calculating the
cost of the mandate. The broadest
definition of a mandate is any action on
the part of any unit of the state or
federal govemments that inhibits the
decision -making ability of any unit
of local government. The diffrcultywith
such a definition isthat it may be applied
to almost any conceivable situation,
which renders it not very useful.
The workbook outlines how to identify
and how to calculate the costs of
unfunded mandates (with samples). It
also offers ideas on how to let the tax-
payers know why the burden is passed
on to them and advises them to contact
their state and federal legislators.
If you would like a copy of the work-
book, call AML at 907-586-1325.
Candidate Survey Results In
Eight candidates of the thirteen running for Governor in the August primary
election returned AML's survey on municipal issues. Results of the survey are
reproduced and included with this issue of The Touchstone and are interesting
reading for municipal officials. If you did not receive the survey results, please
ask your municipal clerk or other AML contact person for the candidate survey
insert.
The Touchstone
The Touchstone is published monthly from July through December by the Alaska
Municipal League, 217 Second Street, Suite 200, Juneau, Alaska 99801, 907-586-
1325. When the Alaska State Legislature is in session, The Touchstone is replaced
by the AML Legislative Bulletin. One copy of each of these publications is sent free
to Member Municipalities, Associates, and Affiliates. Additional copies are available
to members at a cost of $35 per subscription to the same address. Additional copies
to other addresses are available to members at a cost of $50 per subscription. Non-
members may subscribe to The Touchstone only for $20 per year.
Advertising space is available at $4.50 per column inch, and discounts are availabl
to members and for contracts of a year or longer.
IListings of job opportunities in AML member municipalities are published free of I
charge as a membership service.

Alaska Materials
Exchange Offers Help
to Municipalities
TheAlaska Materials Exchange (AME)
is a new information clearinghouse
aimed at matching excess or used ma-
terials with businesses that have a use
forthem. Exchanging materials allows
them to be put to good use rather than
thrown away. The first catalog, pub-
lished in June, contains over 100 list-
ings. The exchange lists materials,
amount, location, and whether the ma-
terials are available for free or for sale.
The program started as a cooperative
effort among the oil industry, federal
qnd state government, and the Anchor-
,ge business communityto recycle used
equipment and materials rather than
dispose of them in landfills. Itwasfunded
in part by oil companies, EPA, Alaska
Department of Environmental Conser-
vation, and the Anchorage Chamber of
Commerce. AME is expanding to in-
clude other businesses and communi-
ties.
Types of materials that are available
are chemicals, wood and pallets, oils
and greases, construction materials,
plastic and rubber, paints and coatings,
containers/packing materials, office
supplies/electronic equipment, heavy
equipment, equipment parts, camp
equipment/supplies, and other miscel-
laneous supplies. The catalog is avail-
able for free and everyone is welcome
to participate in the program. Commu-
nities with material for disposal or who
are in need of the type of materials
listed, are urged to call the Anchorage
Chamber of Commerce at 907-272-
2401 for more information and a copy of
ie latest catalog.
Note from the Director
Chrystal Stif ings Smith, Acting Executive Director
Alaska is a seasonal land, more so than most places I've ever been --
summers are lived to the fullest while the sun shines, and the long days are
spent preparing for winter and winter's challenges. Many of AML's members
are out fishing right now, whether to stock their freezers and smokehouses or
to replenish their bank accounts. People all around the state are enjoying the
season, but working hard at their summer activities.
So, too, your AML staff. Far from being a slow time, summer at the League
office is always very busy. Julie, Jeanne, and I have a wide variety of tasks to
complete, and we are keeping the Board and other committees active as well.
First, in addition to the search for a new Executive Director, we are wrapping
up the initial phase of the Municipal Aid Working Group (MAWG) project (see
story, page 1). The group members, representing a variety of communities
throughout the state, have done an excellent job and they deserve ourthanks.
Now it's your turn -- please help now, don't just criticize later.
Conference planning is underway. Mark your calendars for November16-18
and join your colleagues in Juneau. This year's conference will focus on the
new realities facing Alaska's municipalities and offersome newways of looking
at old problems. Charles Royer, former mayor of Seattle and Director of the
Institute of Politics at the JFK School of Government, will be a featured
speaker, and the MAWG proposal will be discussed in detail. If you have other
ideas about topics, call or write us at AML.
I know it seems like the legislative session just ended, but here atAMLwe're
getting ready for 1995. The Legislative Committee subcommittees are meet-
ing and we're preparing forthe Leadership Summit in Homer (see article, page
12). Also, we've asked the candidates for Governor to comment on municipal
issues; the results of that survey are included in this newsletter. I hope you're
asking statewide candidates what they think about the state/local relationship.
What else keeps us busy during the "off season"? We're publishing AML's
Catalog of State Aid to Municipalities, the Municipal Salary Survey, and The
Touchstone. We're also in the midst of planning for AML's next fiscal year
(which begins October 1) -- developing a budget and work plan, thinking about
how to attract new members, and continuing to provide you with the services
you deserve from your league. We must be responsive to the barrage of
information and requests for aid we receive from the National League of Cities
and National Association of Counties, along with keeping up with daily
activities and answering requests for information and for resource materials
from the AML Library, there are surveys, phone calls, and much more.
On a personal note, I want you to know why, in spite of great support from
many AML members and friends, I have not applied for the Executive
Director's position. I'm passing up one great opportunity, the chance to
continue to serve AML and its members, for another, a chance to spend some
time in Cambodia, along with my family, and to renew my knowledge of and
familiarity with Southeast Asia.
It's been over 25 years since my husband and I completed our Peace Corps
service in Thailand and headed home (via Cambodia, actually) to pursue
graduate work in Southeast Asian studies. Who would have ever thought we
wouldn't get back therefor so long, or that when the opportunity arose it would
require this type of choice? But, things don't always workout as you might have
planned them, and I will be leaving the League in November (after conference)
to join my husband and daughter in Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia,
where George will be a consultant to the National Library for eight months.
We're really looking forward to the adventure, and the challenge of once again
living in a new culture, learning a new language (or at least enough to survive),
seeing new places, and meeting new people. And, when it's time to return to
Alaska, probably next summer, we'll be looking forward to that too.

AML Offers Video Training Program
On behalf of its members, the Alaska Municipal League is now subscribing to the
Government Services Television Network (GSTN), which produces monthly train-
ing videos for local government officials. GSTN is an innovative information and
training resource for local governments in partnership with ICMA, National Associa-
tioWof Counties, National League of Cities, and Public Technology, Inc. With the
GSTN program, you choose when, who, and how many people you want to train.
GSTN provides top trainers and national experts directly to your local government
and furnishes a constant stream of new ideas and solutions to challenges facing
large and small communities.
Each video is accompanied by a viewer's guide of the month's program with a
synopsis of each segment and suggestions for effective implementation. The video
contains five segments:
GSTN Journal - Late -breaking news and industry information from around
the country in a news journal format. This segment contains important
legislative updates, court rulings, conferences, and industry developments.

sources, and learn cost-cutting strategies with advice from fellow local
government leaders.
Human Factor - Professional guidance from the experts on dealing with
personnel issues, for instance, sexual harassment, drugs in the workplace,
Americans with Disabilities Act, and cultural awareness.
Training Track - Step-by-step supervisory skills and management training.
The videos may be checked out through the AML Library. Currently available are
CSTN videos for April, May, June, and July. If you are interested in learning more
about the GSTN program orwould like to checkout any of the tapes, please call Julie
Krafft at 586-1325.
Governor Hickel holds a copy of HB 319, which he signed on June 21, 1994. The
legislation establishes the Alaska Police Standards Training Fund, to be funded by
a surcharge on tickets for motor vehicle or traffic offenses. With the Governor are
several supporters of the bill, including sponsor Representative Gail Phillips.
Juneau
(continued from page 1)
The Juneau City and Borough's popu-
lation of just under 30,000 makes it r-e
of Alaska's largest municipalities. V� ,
the downtown area is nestled between
mountains and the Gastineau Channel,
large expanses of land on Douglas Is-
land, in the Mendenhall Valley, and "out
the road" are meeting the needs of a
growing population. In 1994 the local
real estate market experienced its big-
gestgrowth since 1987. To helpaccom-
modate this growth, a newmiddleschool
is being constructed in the Lemon Creek
area.
The City and Borough has been spruc-
ing up roadways, working on water and
sewer projects, and remodeling the air-
port. As you walk about town you'll no-
tice that Calhoun Avenue has been re-
built, affording better access and over-
view of the new senior housing com-
plex, which is under construction.
"Our community takes great pride in
hosting the Alaska Municipal League
and in extending a warm and special
welcome," said Mayor Jamie Parsons.
"We are honored that you have sele
Juneau as the site of your 44th Annual
Local Government Conference."

Alaska Municipal League Policy Development
August 1994
Amendments to the AML Policy Statement and resolutions passed during the
44th Annual Local Government Conference (scheduled for November 1648,..
1994, in Juneau) will shape the: legislative program of the Alaska Municipal ,
League during 1996. The following information on howto make amendments
and introduce resolutions will help members prepare to take an active role in
the policy development; process. Please retain this insert for reference and
follow its guidelines.
POLICY STATEMENT AMENDMENTS
Amendments to the Alaska Municipal League Policy Statement may be made during the policy sections at the Annual
Conference. Municipal officials should review the existing Policy Statement and amendments proposed by the Legislative
Committee and Board, which will be available in late September, and review them with their fellow officials prior to developing
amendment language. Proposed amendments, with backup discussion, should be presented, in writing, during the appropriate
policy section, and adequate copies should be available for distribution. Only representatives of AML member municipalities
or associations can propose Policy Statement amendments. Policy Statement amendments approved during policy sections
will be considered by the entire membership during the Annual Meeting. Policy statements differ from resolutions in that they
express long-term or continuing statements of principles important to local control and local government authority and efficient
and effective operation.
RESOLUTIONS PROCEDURES
A resolution is a statement of Alaska Municipal League intent to support a specific action on a significant issue affecting
municipalities. Resolutions are intended to address specific and timely issues on the federal, state, or regional level, orfor Board
action, that are of significance to municipalities.
Resolutions are introduced, debated, and adopted by the AML members each year at the Annual AML Local Government
Conference and are published with the AML Policy Statement. To be considered during the conference, resolutions must
conform to the following policy, procedural, and format guidelines, which were adopted by the AML Board of Directors in August
1987.
Resolutions must be postmarked no later than October 1 to be reviewed, accepted, and included in the delegate packets for
consideration at the annual conference.
POLICY GUIDELINES
Resolutions shall, in their subject matter, concern shared policy and program needs, issues, or problems of Alaskan
municipalities and shall state the problem and relief sought.
2. Resolutions shall be concerned with state and federal government or AML policy and should, therefore, address state
and federal or AML policy issues.
Resolutions shall either expand on or supplement existing AML Policy Statement language. Resolutions shall neither
contradict nor conflict with the Policy Statement.
... Resolutions shall not compromise the independence or integrity of individual member cities or their ability to pursue
any course of action adopted by appropriate municipal policy -making bodies.
AML Touchstone ■ August 1994 Page 5
5. Resolutions shall not compromise the budget -making, program -determining, or priority -setting role of the AML
Board.
6. Resolutions shall be restricted to action -specific issues and issues of some immediacy and shall be addressed to
the Governor, Legislature, President, and/or the Congress or to the AML Board of Directors.
7.� Adopted resolutions shall become AML policy and shall have general AML support, but the sponsor and other
interested individuals are encouraged to follow up on the resolution individually, especially if the issue is not an AML
priority.
Resolutions differ from the policies in the AML Policy Statement in that:
a. Resolutions shall address specific issues rather than general policy. However, a resolution should not be
so specific as to address specific legislation by bill number.
b. Resolutions may address regional issues, or issues affecting individual municipalities, as well as statewide
concerns.
C. Resolutions shall be in effect for only one year. They are intended to address timely issues such as current
legislative proposals.
PROCEDURAL GUIDELINES
Only councils and assemblies of member municipalities, affiliated municipal associations, affiliated regional
municipal organizations (comprised of municipal officials), the AML Board, and the AML Legislative Steering
Committee are eligible to submit resolutions for consideration. Each resolution submitted must have been approved
by a formal action of the sponsoring body.
2. Because it is desirable to have the resolutions undergo the same scrutiny as the AML Policy Statement and so that
members will have an opportunity to consider the resolutions carefully, all resolutions should be submitted prior to
the conference. All resolutions properly submitted by AML members must be presented to a policy section for review
and approval during the annual conference. This review is important to ensure a sound and representative policy
and to avoid duplication and conflict within the policies of the AML. Resolutions submitted by the AML Board and
the AML Legislative Committee may be reviewed by a policy section if the resolutions deal with policy issues.
3. Resolutions must be postmarked by October 1 prior to the conference to be included in the delegate packets
for consideration during the conference. Resolutions must follow format guidelines (see below), be typed, and
include the name of the sponsoring entity.
4. Staff will review resolutions submitted by October 1 for form and return incorrectly submitted resolutions to the
sponsor for corrections. All properly submitted resolutions will be assigned by staff to the appropriate policy section
for consideration during the conference. Copies of the resolutions properly submitted will be made available to the
delegates in their registration packets.
5. Resolutions not submitted by October 1 may be offered in the appropriate policy section for the members'
consideration. However, the sponsor of any resolution presented directlyto the policy section must provide 50 copies
of the resolution and it must be in the proper format. In addition, to introduce a resolution in a policy section the
sponsor must have the support of representatives of five (5) member municipalities in attendance at the policy
section.
6. Resolutions will be reviewed, debated, and acted upon by the appropriate policy section. Sponsors of properly
submitted resolutions will be given an opportunity to discuss and support their resolutions at the policy section.
7. If approved by the policy section, the resolution will be submitted to the Resolutions Committee for final approval
as to format, duplication, and policy consistency. The Resolutions Committee will meet following the policy section
Page 6 AML Touchstone ■ August 1994
meetings. The Resolutions Committee shall consider only resolutions recommended by the policy sections, by the
AML Board of Directors, or by the AML Legislative Steering Committee.
The Resolutions Committee shall debate and act upon each resolution for final recommendation to the membership.
The Resolutions Committee shall approve, amend, and approve or reject each resolution passed by the policy section,
r note its action, and, if the resolution is approved, send it to the business meeting for consideration. If a resolution is
rejected, the committee shall prepare a brief written justification of its action and forward that information to the
business meeting.
9. The First Vice President (incoming President) shall appoint a Resolutions Committee because he/she will have to work
with the individuals and resolutions during the next year. This also will give the person experience in making committee
appointments. It is important that the members of the Resolutions Committee, as the "next -to -last tribunal," be
individuals active in, and knowledgeable of, the AML.
10. The First Vice President shall serve as Chairofthe Resolutions Committee and shall appoint eight (8) additional elected
and appointed municipal officials from the Board and Legislative Committee.
11. Only resolutions approved by a policy section and by the Resolutions Committee will be made available by staff at the
business meeting. A resolution that was passed by a policy section but rejected by the Resolutions Committee may
be broughtto the floor of the business meeting at the appropriate time if it meetsthe following conditions:1) it has been
signed by representatives from twenty (20) member municipalities; 2) an AML staff member has reviewed the
signatures and approved the resolution for reintroduction; 3) 100 copies of the resolution (with the 20 signatures and
AML staff approval) are available for distribution to the delegates; and 4) delegates from twenty (20) voting
municipalities sponsor the resolution for consideration at the business meeting. No new resolutions (i.e., resolutions
that have not been considered and passed by a policy section and reviewed by the Resolutions Committee) will be
allowed at the business meeting unless they are resolutions from the Board or Legislative Committee.
1 ^ All resolutions adopted by the membership shall conform to the AML resolution policy guidelines.
FORMAT GUIDELINES (see sample attached)
Resolutions must be postmarked by October 1 to be reviewed, accepted, and included in the delegate packets for
consideration at the annual conference.
2. The resolution shall be typed in the proper format (see sample) on 8Y2" x 11" paper.
3. The name of the sponsoring member municipality or association and the date of submission must be indicated in the
upper right-hand comer of the resolution. Each resolution must include the statement "This resolution was approved
for submission to the Alaska Municipal League membership by the governing body of [name of municipality or
association] on [date]" in the lower left-hand comer.
4. Each resolution submitted must indicate that it is an AML resolution and have a title that identifies the issue. That is,
it mustsay "Resolution of the Alaska Municipal League, Resolution No. xx-xx" and have a title, beginning "A Resolution
..." that describes the issue and intent of the resolution. Throughout the text, the resolution should indicate that the
League is taking the position advocated, not a given municipality or organization.
5. At least one "Whereas" clause should identify the policies in the AML Policy Statement that the resolution addresses
(i.e., expands or supplements), if applicable.

RESOLUTION OF THE ALASKA MUNICIPAL LEAGUE
RESOLUTION NO. 95-xx
A RESOLUTION URGING THE PASSAGE OF LEGISLATION
REQUIRING THE STATE TO REIMBURSE MUNICIPALITIES
FOR THE COST OF ANY NEW STATE -MANDATED PROGRAMS
WHEREAS, "the League urges passage of legislation that would require a government agency unilaterally transferring
responsibility for a program to a municipality or imposing regulations on a municipality to reimburse the municipality forthe costs
of the transferred responsibility or regulations" (Alaska Municipal League Policy Statement 1994, Part I Taxation and Finance,
F.2 Reimbursement for Responsibilities Transferred from State); and
WHEREAS, state aid to municipalities in the form of Municipal Assistance and Revenue Sharing has been reduced by over
45 percent since FY 86, while during the same period the overall state general fund budget has been reduced by only 10 percent;
and
WHEREAS, along with the reduction in state financial assistance there have been increases in state -mandated programs that
take the form of increased costs, new programs, and funding shortfalls for existing programs that are costly for municipali
to administer and implement; and
WHEREAS, legislation affecting municipalities is considered and passed by the Alaska State Legislature without the benefit
of knowing its fiscal impact on local governments; and
WHEREAS, these mandated programs, funding shortfalls, and shifts in responsibilities have required municipalities to
increase local taxes and reduce services in order to balance their budgets and at the same time, the Legislature has ignored
deficit spending while boasting that the state has no income or sales taxes and that operating budgets have been reduced; and
WHEREAS, costly state -mandated programs provide a significant additional disincentive for communities to incorporate; and
WHEREAS, the National Conference of State Legislatures in 1987 recommended that state legislatures consider relaxing or
eliminating costly requirements on local governments or assuming the cost of complying with the requirements:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Alaska Municipal League urges the Alaska Legislature and the Governor
to pass legislation requiring the State to reimburse municipalities for the costs of any new state -mandated programs or
regulations that increase the costs of local government operations.
This resolution was approved for submission to the Alaska Municipal League membership by the
governing body of on _,1994

11 Marine Parks Ideas Sought 11
Alaska State Parks is looking for ideas for the construction of recreational
amenities, and the acquisition of sites and access rights, that will restore or
enhance recreational services lost or diminished by the Exxon Valdez oil spill.
Projects will be completed over a four-year period. In order to be considered,
projects must be located on public land orwaterwithin the spill -affected area,
provide an amenity for public outdoor recreation, be consistent with existing
management plans for the area, and be endorsed by the landowner. Project
sponsors must have a plan, supported by a public agency, for management
and maintenance of the project.
Applications must be received by October 31, 1994. For more information,
and to receive an application form, contact Alaska State Parks, 907-762-2610.
AML Touchstone ■ August 1994 Page 9
Aid (continued from page 1)
After extensive discussions and evalu-
ation of dozens of computer runs, the
group, chaired by Valdez City Manager
Doug Griffin, presented a draft pro-
posal, State Support for Basic Local
Services (SSBLS), for comment by
AML members. Each mayor was asked
to respond by August 22.
Draft Proposal
As proposed by the Working Group,
SSBLS would
Emphasize the provision of basic
governmental services
Distribute funds based on local ex-
penditures on basic governmental
services, local fiscal capacity, and
population
Include a minimum entitlement of
$35,000/municipality (with an adjust-
ment for area cost of living differ-
ences)
Feedback Needed
The Working Group is nowwaiting for
comments on the proposal from mayors
of AML member municipalities and for
suggestions on how to improve it. No
proposal for changing the way munici-
pal aid is distributed can go far without
widespread municipal support -- the
survey gives each municipality an op-
portunity to be heard early in the pro-
cess.
Effects on Municipalities
Obviously, any change in the formu-
las governing the distribution of state
assistance to local governments will
create some "winners" and some "los-
ers" relative to the current formula. One
goal of the Working Group was to both
minimizethe numberof losers and mini-
mize the extent of the wins and losses.
Another was to design a program that
reflected the group's interest in reward-
ing local effort to provide basic services
and tied shared revenues to the provi-
sion of those services. The latter, it was
felt, would be critical in helping legisla-
tors and the public understand how vital
it is for the state to share revenues with
Alaska's municipalities.

Aid (continued from page 10)
To ease the burden a change to a new
distribution formula would cause for
-tnicipalities that would receive less
_ .J under the new program, the Work-
inlGroup is proposing that legislation
establishing the SSBLS include a three-
year phase -in to hold municipalities
harmless for the first year and then
gradually phase in to the new funding
level.
Stable and Predictable
Funding Source
Devising a new formula to distribute
state -collected revenues will not, in it-
self, solve the problem of achieving
stable funding for municipal aid pro-
grams. A new program may be simpler,
more understandable, and more defen-
sible if it is tied to expenditures on basic
services, but it also needs stable fund-
ing. Finding that funding source will be
even more difficult than developing a
new distribution formula, and convinc-
ing the public about its importance will
be a monumental task. The Working
Group has looked at a number of alter-
tive sources for funding and is also
asking for suggestions from those who
review the plan.
What Next?
First, responses to the survey are
needed. Now is the time for each mu-
nicipality to make a difference -- the
Working Group is not tied to the pro-
posal outlined, but wants an open dis-
cussion of the issues involved. After
comments have been received, the
group will revise the proposal and
present it at the Leadership Summit
(see related article on page 12). After
further revisions and refinements, the
next opportunity for public discussion
will be at the Local Government Confer-
ence, November 16-18, in Juneau. A
proposal adopted there will become part
of AML's legislative priorities for the
future. Everyone's input and comments
will be needed as the development pro-
cess continues.
The Working Group needs your
ilp now, at this point, not your
..riticism later. If you would like more
details on the proposal, please call AML
at 586-1325.

1994 AML. Local
Government-
Conference
New realities challenge Alaska's cit-
ies and boroughs -- new realities and old
problems. State support for local gov-
ernments is unpredictable, and shrink-
ing. Federal and state governments
continue to impose unfundedmandt
Changes in state government are on we
horizon. Increasingly, local governments
are being called upon to provide ser-
vices without adequate financial and
human resources.
New realities call for new ways of
looking at things, new approaches and
new visions. The 1994 Local Govern-
ment Conference, AML's 44th annual
get-together, will offer new visions and
look at the new realities. Join your col-
leagues from all over Alaska to share,
learn, and take a new look.
Alaska's new governor will be invited
to share his vision with you. Charles
Royer, Director of the Institute of Poli-
tics at the JFK School of Government
and former mayor of Seattle, will offer
new perspectives on challenges facing
local govemments across the country.
Sessions are planned on local gov-
ernment innovation and other topics of
current interest, and the °AML Policy
Statement and legislative program for
1995 will be developed.
Plan now to attend the 44th Ani. ..I
AML Local Government Conference
in Juneau, November 1648.

tantkey to thestste 4'Wtrrn. Whatis your
understanding of thls'reladmal :at Me
presentlimo? Should this W dumWW? if
so,:how?
Campbell: Local governments are instru-
mentalities of the state, and they should be
treated as full partners in the performance of
public services —NOT stepchildren.
Sykes: The Alaska constitution calls for
"maximum of local self-government with a
minimum of local units" and allows home
rule cities and boroughs to "exercise all
legislative powers not prohibited by law or
charter." This is as it should be. The major
change I propose is a process that activates
citizens to participate in their local govem-
ments as much as possible.
Three major aspects are envisioned: 1) De-
velop community visions or plans based on
past history, present input and strategies for
the long-term future, giving clear direction to
the borough and state governments, 2) Set
up a process where government and indus-
try projects come to communities first for
approval before going through a bureau-
cratic process. 3) Create effective citizen
oversight, so there is participation and infor-
mation ongoing as issues go through ad-
ministrative processes.
Fink: Perhaps more than any other candi-
date in this year's race, I understand this
problem and how if affects local govem-
ment. State government has been playing
PacMan with local government for the past
eight years. The state budget has been
eating up more and more funds that are
needed at the local level to meet existing and
new state and federal mandates. This is
uncalled for. My administration is commit-
ted to make state government live within its
means and will carry the same expectations
into its relationship with local government.
The unfunded mandates will end because
they are really tax increases that the state
gets local government to collect.
Cotten: The state constitution description
of the role ofthe cities and boroughs is clear.
Municipalities arethe primary and legitimate
provider of basic services throughout the
state. The state of Alaska has an obligation
to provide assistance to local government,
particularly in the area of education funding
and capital funding in the areas of economic
development and basic infrastructure needs
such as water and sewer.
Knowles: I want to address both the direct
and indirect relationships that local govem-
ments have with the state government.
As governor I will actively encourage and
support local efforts to form boroughs, and
I will make sure that the support and coop-
eration continues once those governments
are in place. The same goes for existing
local governments, of course.
In part, this means continuing revenue shar-
ing and municipal assistance. I think it is
right that the state share resource revenues
with local governments, not just because of
the role communities play in the overall
health and welfare of the state, but also
because local governments often provide
the best, the most flexible, and the most
appropriate levels and forms of service.
Local services can eliminate the need for
some state services or can augment them.
The levels of state assistance will probably
not increase, however, I think it is important
to build some stability into the funding. This
"pass -through" has become an easy target
for budget cuts, and I don't think that is the
right approach.
I also believe that the state agencies should
reach out to local governments at all levels.
All state agencies should do a better job of
communicating with local government, shar-
ing information, and finding ways to make
regulations and changes in law work better
for communities.
In addition, I recognize the indirect relation-
ship that exists between the state and local
governments, especially in regards to eco-
nomic development. The states marketing
efforts and development efforts should have
a significant local component. Forexample,
if the state is proposing to open access to
state land for tourism or some other devel-
opment, the access plan should be framed
around significant local concerns and long-
term plans of the community members.
Henzler: Almost all the communities extant
in Alaska existed before operation of the
Trans -Alaska Pipeline. To whatever degree
each of these communities had commercial
resources or the infusion of government
funds for military purposes or regional gov-
ernance (native hospitals at Bethel, Kotze-
bue) that community fared — Petersburg,
nicefor instance, Bethel, notes nice. With oil
wealth, all communities improved. With the
decline in oil wealth many communities will
rusticate.
McAlpine: As most of you are aware, I was
a locally elected official having served on the
Valdez City Council and as Mayor of Valdez.
Under the Hickel administration,the rela-
tionship between the state and local govem-
ments has not been as close or as produc-
tive as it could or should be. I will work to
have closer relations with local governments
and will have an open doorfor locally elected
officials.

Campbell: My roots are in local govem-
ment; I spent 10 years on theAnchomge City
Council and Borough Assembly. My goal is
to make certain that local government enti-
ties are treated fairly and equitably by the
state, and I will take people to Juneau who
come from a local government background
to make it happen. I will make certain that
local governments are brought to the table
as the state makes decisions on economic
development, budget matters, regulatory
reform, education, crime prevention, and
other issues that are priorities with Alas-
kans.
Sykes: The management style of govern-
ment needs to be citizen -based, not bureau-
crat -based. The past two legislatures have
taken away rights reserved to citizens and
communities and given them to commis-
sioners and bureaucrats. This must be re-
versed. (See above answer) As an example
the Departmentof Natural Resources wasted
about $1-4 million on a non-existent world
class ski area that was proposed by an
Austrian "developer' who hasn't been heard
from since his proposal. Local wisdom and
knowledge must be used at the first steps of
a project rather than simply receiving com-
ment at a "public hearing" where the hearing
officer often takes the attitude of'Thank you
for your advice, now we'll do what we want
anyhow." Citizen oversight should be devel-
oped as it is in several other states.
Fink: The relationship between my adminis-
tration and local governments will be excel-
lent, as long as all parties understand that
each is responsible for its own fiscal deci-
sions and that local initiative should be paid
for by local taxes.
Cotten: The relationship between the state
and local governments under a Cotten ad-
ministration would be strengthened by clar-
ity and predictability in the amount of state
assistance local governments can expect
from the state over the next 5-10 years. This
will greatly aid municipalities in their efforts
to conduct long term planning and develop-
ment A Cotten administration commitment
would reflect my consistent support of full
funding of education over the last 20 years.
Henzler: During my administration the rela-
tionship between the state and local govern-
ments will be whatever 32 legislators (11
senators and 21 representatives) and I make
it. As many local governments basically
have no means of support outside of state
funds, I lean toward support of local govem-
ments, but 1 don't want to be a damned fool
about it. I do not have the power to ensure
anything. The governments and govemors
that ensured things all went out of business
about four years ago when the Berlin Wall
came down.
McAlpine: As I stated above, I will workwith
local govemments to ensure that everything
is done within state government to meet the
needs of people on the local level. We need
to work in partnership with local govern-
ments to provide training and expertise that
will assist residents of cities, towns and
villages to maintain their own governmental
structures rather than trying to dictate to
them how to run their affairs.

Campbell: I think of government finance as
a three-legged stool:
First, we must reduce the cost of govern-
ment Like a freight train, we must begin to
apply the brakes now, knowing where we
want to end up, as oil revenues decline. We
must also answer two fundamental ques-
tions for every state program: Is it neces-
sary? And is it the responsibility of the state?
Second, on the other side of the ledger, we
must work aggressively to expand the tax
base —both forthe state and for local govern-
ments—becausethere aresimply no oil pros-
pects that can be expected to replace in this
decade the generous revenues we have
enjoyed from the North Slope. Alaska's best
hope for a safe landing is a sound economic
development program that will expand the
tax base by welcoming newtax payingcom-
panies that will create meaningful long-term
jobs. Without new jobs and industry, Alas-
kanswill be forced to dig deeper and deeper
into their pockets to pay for even the most
basic services. We must move forward with
responsible development of our lands and
resources as our constitution envisioned.
Local governments have a strong role to
play as partners and beneficiaries in this
effort; throughout the state, municipal lands
can be a valuable asset in jobs creation. The
Red Dog project is a good example of state
and local partnering, as is the Midrex pelleti-
zation project under review by AIDEA
Third is revenue generation, generally con-
sidered to be taxes and fees. I am calling for
NO new taxes and fees until we first make
meaningful reductions in government spf
ing. Instead, I will stabilize our tax strut►,
and create a level playing field for business
and industry. Companies will not do busi-
ness here if Alaska continues to change the
groundrules; we will have tax reform.
Sykes: I was the only candidate in 1990 who
urged oil development of Ugnu Kuparuk and
West Sak—America's 2nd largest oilfield.
We should offer incentives to engineering
students, private companies or the current
operating companies to devise a more eco-
nomic retrieval of West Sak oil. We could
possibly return to "separate accounting" for
oil firms bringing $400 million additional
annually. Budget cutting should precede
raising taxes. If needed,1) Income tax, 2)
Sin taxes on tobacco and alcohol, 3)
Summer sales tax. The Permanent fund
dividend should not be capped.
Fink: Reduce statespendinguntil itmatches
state income or until the public says enough
is enough. Long term ,economic stability
requires an economy based on something
other than oil and seasonal employment I
will encourage added value resource deval-
opment.
Cotten: History has shown that the state
legislaturewill only reduce expenditureswhen
it has less money. I think the first duty of a
new administration is demonstrate to the
public that we can cut the size of state
government and the, and only then, ask the
public to pay more for government. I think
the fairest way to raise funds is an income
tax
Henzler: I hope that by the time I am done
campaigning everyone in the state will un-
derstand that FY82 was our best fiscal year
ever (4.693 Billion) but that FY91 (4.324
Billion) was our second best and FY93 (4.315
Billion) was our third best fiscal year —you
can look it up State of Alaska Comprehen-
sive Annual Financial Report, and then, just
to check that you may call Mr. Chuck
Logsdon at the state of Alaska Dept of
Revenue Division of Oil and Gas Audit divi-
sion in Anchorage. At the same time I want
everyone to learn that oil production is de-
clining atthe rate of 3.1 % annually. Once we
have these facts learned we can pursue
policy.

McAlpine: We must review all of the pro-
grams that the state is involved in and
determine which we will have to eliminate in
der to balance future budgets.
g• Whit wNl you do to enam iang-term
eeanomk stsbAlly ftr the state and lta
gownntentel units?
Sykes: As Governor, I will set a goal for
Alaska to be as self-sufficient as possible,
We must stop exporting our raw resources
at low prices while Outsiders control oil, fish,
timber and tourism. Alaskans should de-
velop niche markets, process our own fish,
sell fish waste products, finish lumber and
other wood products, and create a product
development corporation providing groom
and loans to small manufacturing and cot-
tage industries that are likely to succeed.
Our marketing efforts in fish, timber and
tourism need to be more locally based and
training people to do their own marketing is
a priority. It's time for action, not lip service.
Providing a sustainable local economic base
is the most important priority, We can get
nowhere continuing to ad like a colony
exporting our raw resources at the lowest
possible prices. We must produce all our
materials to their highest possible values—
'ncluding waste.
Government units will continue to share in
revenue gained from state resources.
Cotten: Local governments need a better
sense ofwhat itwill receivefrom the state not
only each year but over a longer period of
time. This could be accomplished by con-
solidating the current revenue sharing and
municipal assistance programs. A new pro-
gram needs to be established through a joint
local and state government commission that
better reflects the needs of local govem-
ments and gives them a better sense of what
to expect from the state.
Knowles: Over the next 10-15 years, we will
fund state government from a variety of
sources that include resource development
rents, royalties and taxes, investment earn-
ings, and business and personal taxes. Dif-
ferent sources will make varying levels of
contributions at different times. However, I
can say that the state will, under a Knowles
Administration, have a road map that sug-
gests what sources will serve what purpose
— and at roughly what levels — at different
ooints in the future. Breaking open the piggy
anks in an emergency is just as improper
as levying an income tax for the same
reasons.
I am assuming your question about stability
refers directly to stability in government
funding or finance, not private sector eco-
nomic stability. However, these two are
inextricably linked. Job creation, growth,
and stability must be led by the private
sector, and state policies must support and
encourage that private sector growth. The
economic stability of political subdivisions
(with the exception of public school districts)
must not be directly tied primarily or com-
pletely to state funding.
Henzler. I will not ensure anything. If you
hear a candidate ensure you of some thing,
and you believe him, you should vote for
him, but 1 "ensure" youthat if you do, you are
setting yourself upto bedisappointed (again).
After 40 years in Alaska, much of it eco-
nomic development work, 1 am convinced
that no one knows how to ensure economic
stability, but, surely, it is not accomplished
with subsidies —not subsidized agriculture,
fisheries, logging, or anything else.
McAlpine: I have been called a "pro -devel-
opment" candidate, and that is what I will
continue to be. We have to diversify our
economy, but we will still be dependent on
the oil industry for the foreseeable future.
There are no other resource development
potentials or any other industry that can
replace the oil industry and the revenues it
provides for our state and local economies.
We have to work together with industry to
provide an economic climate in which they
want to work and expand.

Ing to do am
Campbell: Absolutely. We cannot continue
to raid one-time pools of cash (oil tax settle-
ments, budget reserves, loan program earn-
ings, for example) to cover our habits of
overspending. I will direct my commission-
ers and department heads to identify and
phaseout duplication, waste, programs that
aren't working, and services that can be
provided elsewhere. Wewill reorganize state
government to do fewer things, to do them
better, and do them at less cost.
I have appointed a working group of volun-
teer professionals to assist me during the
campaign in identifying specific programs
and activities for possible consolidation, elimi-
nation, or restructuring. I want to hit the
ground running in Juneau, with a specific
plan to bring the budget in line with recurring
revenues.
Sykes: The spending level is about right.
The capital and operating budgets should be
recombined. Unneeded capital items ap-
proved in 1993 in the $600+ million capital
items should have been cut ordelayed. Now,
we need to look at the Dept. of Transporta-
tion. While we get 90-95% of new road
money from the Federal Government, they
don't fork out much for maintenance. We
have an ever declining ability to maintain
any roads we have now or will be likely to
build. My priority is maintaining the roads
we've got. We need a consistent but rela-
tively small capital budget Many outside
firms benefitted from the 1993 pork, be-
cause their simply weren't enough Alaskans
to accomplish all the pork projects.
Fink: Yes, to the point where it meets my
goal of balancing with state income over a
four-year period. It is not possible to identify
programs and positions without consulta-
tion with the Legislature. On the other hand.
I would not start with local government rev-
enue sharing and I would not support reduc-
tions in this area as an underhanded way to
balance the books.
Cotten: I support the reduction of the cost
of the legislative and governor's office bud-
get and an overall reduction of travel ex-
pense through state government I would
resist pressure to unnecessarily increase
pay and compensation for state employees.
Knowles: I respond to fluctuating cash flow
every year in my restaurant business. How-
ever, I do not respond to lower cash flow by
cutting out breakfast or closing on Wednes-
days. The fact is, the state's operating
agencies will probably not see sweeping
programmatic cuts, nor will I impose across-
the-board cuts. Personnel costs, operations
costs, delivery of services and a whole vari-
ety of"interior' functionswill be addressed in
a cooperative and creativewaywith employ-
ees, service providers, and service recipi-
ents. When I was Mayor of Anchorage my
administration was able to lower municipal
costs 11 percent in two years without mak-
ing more layoffs, declaring war on public
employees, or starving the public.
Henzier: If the trend line of oil production is
downward, and the trend line of state rev-
enue is downward, then YES, I support
cutting the FY 95 level, and to exactly the
pointwhere the two trend lines coincide. And
AML 1994 Governor Candidate Survey Page 4
I will use my line item veto authority to
maintain that budget. If cuts are necessary,
I could first cutthe Governor's expenditures-
-particularly such items as pursuit of the
northern sea route and the northern forum,
etc. Then I will come after your budget. You
kno ro that to the greatest extent your legisla-
tor is thekey.
McAlpine: I don't necessarily agree that
there is all that much "fat" in the state
operating budget. The FY 95 budget has
more money appropriated for formula pro-
grams, such as education, permanent fund
dividends, aid to families with dependent
children and medicaid, than it has for the
operating portion of state government. Our
first priority should be to be sure that we are
getting the most bang for our buck. Are we
operating state government in the most effi-
cient manner? In the past, good managers
have been penalized by budget reductions
for saving money. We have to work with the
peoplewho actually run state government to
be sure it is operating efficiently. We will
haveto take a close look at all programs and
decide what are traditional government func-
tions and what Alaska is doing that other
states are not doing. We will have to elimi-
nate programs rather than trying to adjust
the total budget down but keeping the same
services.

fuhdswillyousupport=Gavwm& How
wilt you 'seN' these uses to the pubNc and
legislature?..
Campbell: No, I do not favor using the
earnings reserves at this time. In fact, I fear
thatthere won't BE an earnings reserve after
the next legislative session unless a strong
Governor is in Juneau to reign in the budget.
Rather than continuing to use these one-
shot pockets of money as piecemeal "solu-
tions" to supplement the budget, I will de-
velop a long-range, multi -year budgeting
plan that will bring stability to the budgeting
process. It will be based on a realistic price
of oil and prudent government spending.
Local governments and school districts
alike have consistently called for forward -
funding programs such as municipal assis-
tance, revenue sharing, and funding. I would
suggest that if Gov. Hickel and the legisla-
ture hadn't illegally spent the BP settlement,
we might have been able to resolve this
problem at last
Sykes: The only reserve funds I intend to
spend will be to forward fund the budget.
Only funds from the previous yea's income
could be spent. The legislatures of the past
four years have spent about $2.3 billion from
reserve funds —enough to have fully forward
funded an entire year's budget. This would
give municipalities, cities and school dis-
tricts a year's warning of what to expect.
These reserves will build again in future
years and forward funding should be insti-
tuted. Afterthe permanent fund reaches $20
billion, we could withdraw a percentage of
the interest to fund the majority of state
government and still have permanent fund
checks and continue the fund's growth —
following a vote of the people. Community
Block grants could be made to cities and
boroughs.
Fink: The reserve funds are the only uncom-
mitted part of our oil largesse that we have
not spent. These reserves should be dedi-
cated to building our economic base, not
bailing out failed projects or ill-conceived
social programs.
Cotten: I do not support the use of the
earnings reserve of the Permanent Fund.
Knowles: I do not support tapping Perma-
nent Fund earnings to fund the state budget
at this time.
Henzier. To me (and to the Alaska courts )
that is not sacrosanct money - not even as
sacrosanct as the Constitutional Budget
Reserve. As governor I am going to have to
have the courage to deal in facts— particu-
larly funding facts. Many may not liketo face
those fads. Those Alaska voters who do not
want to face facts, and, instead, choose to
vote for someone who does not face fads,
will still have to face the fads eventually,
because here is a truth you can count on —
fads are stubborn things. Ultimately you
cannot wish them away, nor vote them
away.
McAlpine: I want it to be clear that 1 do not
under any circumstances support spending
from the corpus of the Permanent Fund. If
we have dire revenue shortages, I would
consider utilizing the unappropriated earn-
ings from the fund. I do not think that it is
legal or appropriate to designate what the
specific uses would be from the fund; it will
have to be placed into the general fund if it
is going to be used. The only way to "sell"
any sort of spending plan is to tell people
about it. You haveto let them knowwhat you
intend to do, why it is necessary, what the
alternatives are, why you have chosen the
particular plan, etc.
Campbell: As I've traveled the state, Alas-
kans have said loud and clear that they will
support NO new taxes until we address the
cost of government. 1 agree with them. If we
have done all that we can to reduce costs
and expand the tax base, and stilt face a
budget deficit, I will have the courage to
propose an income tax. An income taxis the
most equitable taxing tool available to gov
emment, and it also captures non-resident
income. 1 can support a reservation of a
portion of such a tax to local governments.
Sykes: Before an Income tax should be re-
instituted the following process should take
place: Examine previous budget history,
input from citizens and governmentworkers
to point to possible efficiencies. A manage-
ment and budget audit should follow to see
WHO gets paid to do WHAT, andthatshould
point the way to long term stable govem-
ment strategies. Then: Have another loot
separate accounting for oil companies, o�
well as incentives to develop West Sak.
Income tax is probably the fairest. Summer
sales tax probably would raise as much
during three months as the non -summer
nine months. Sin taxes on alcohol and to-
bacco would help fund health care for all
Alaskans.
State government, aid to municipalities and
support for education all come out of the
general fund. Our constitution prohibits dedi-
cated funds, and 1 support that. In earlier
years, dedicated funds kept the state from
having enough general government funds.
In order to be most responsible to our citi-
zens, each funding request, including edu-
cation, should be examined annually. Since
I am proposing a system that invites more
citizen activism, I would expect that local
government and community needs will be
high budget priorities.
Fink: Not at this time. The state does not
have a revenue problem, it really has a
spending problem in that too much money is
being spent in ways that have no d;
relationship to the services that are d%. . -
ered to individual citizens. My first priority
will be to have the state live within its means.
AML 1994 Governor Candidate Survey Pape IS
Cotten: 1 support the institution of an in-
come tax after we have made adequate cuts
in the budget. 1 think the public will support
ich a tax afterwe have shown a willingness
reduce the size of government and to live
within the means of our revenues. I would
eSsider reserving a portion of the state
income tax for redistribution to local govem-
ment. The question, in my mind, however, is
not where the funds come from for local
government, but that they have adequate
funding.
Knowles: When state government has
madethe hard choices and gonethrough the
necessary changes to provide public ser-
vices as state resource revenues decline,
and when a sic- to eight -year fiscal plan is in
place, only then would I propose adding a
personal income tax to the state's revenue
mbc Of all the taxes, the personal income
tax is the fairest statewide method of taxa-
tion. However, neither the time nor the
circumstances are right for a tax proposal. I
do not support dedicated revenues from an
income tax to any particular program.
Henzler: If the time comes I would support
a state income tax, because the Permanent
Fund Dividend is a substantial part of the
income of many poorer families in Alaska. I
ould rather tax than cap or limit the divi-
dend. See your legislator and 31 like her.
McAlpine: I believe that we should adopt an
income tax with a system of credits forthings
such as home mortgage payments, rent,
utility costs, etc. , so that, if you earn your
money here and spend your money here,
you pay little in tax However, if you earn
money in Alaska and take it elsewhere, you
will make a significant contribution to the
coffers of the state. I would be reluctant to
tie any source of revenue to one particular
program. I support funding for such things
as education, municipal assistance and rev-
enue sharing. Funding forthese programs
should come out of the general fund and
should not be dependent on uncertain funds
such as an income tax If you set a certain
portion of the income tax as being the fund-
ing source for redistribution to local govem-
ment and thetax does not realize as much as
was anticipated, would this mandate a re-
duction in funding for local government?
There are some problems and concerns
over dedicated revenues.

.acres ng stab government revenues?
Why/Whynot? Nso, whattypeoftex, and
on what would yarn support?
Sykes: After all possible budget cuts and
consideration of separate accounting for oil
company taxation, I would consider Income
tax, summer sales tax, and sin taxes on
alcohol and tobacco. I was the only candi-
date in 1990 pushing for universal single
payer health care and it is still a priority.
Single payer health-care will actually cost
less that what is now spent. Since alcohol
and tobacco are the greatest major causes
of health problems sin taxes become sort of
a user fee to the general fund that will
support health care.
Fink No. Until such time as state expendi-
tures are reduced and government revenues
meat cost concessions. One big area of cost
containment would be to obtain parity be-
tween public and private sector pay.
Cotten: As mentioned previously, I support
at the proper time, the reinstitution of the
income tax I would consider other taxes if
they are progressive and equitable.
Knowles: I do not support new state taxes
at this time. In the oil, commercial fishing,
and tourism businesses, times are chang-
ing, and our tax structure and application
should maximize the opportunities for new,
small businesses to grow. I do not support
a statewide sales tax.
Henzler. Not yet.
McAlpine: I am not in favor of increased
taxes to increasethe size and cost of govem-
ment. As I stated earlier, we have to decide
what we need and what we can afford. Any
new taxes will have to be formulated similar
to my proposal for a state income tax We
should try to increase revenue without hav-
ing a significant negative impact on people
who live in Alaska.
Y Do You support reducing or eliminst
ingstatapass-thriough orandVwmwtpr+o-
gam? ;afso, whk.h ouros`snd'Why?
Sykes: I don't support eliminating entitle-
ment programs. The legislature will be mak-
ing a list of "needs" and "wants" as the
budgets get increasingly sparse. Such pro-
grams as longevity bonus, exemptions from
property tax by seniors and veterans and
othersuch optional programs are most likely
to bedecreased. I believethat all ofthese are
tremendous economic benefits to the state,
but they are also optional programs. I sup-
port local development of health care facili-
ties, child care, adult day care and other
comprehensive benefits available through a
statewide single -payer health care system.
I support block grants directed by communi-
ties for good public purposes.
Fink: No.
Cotten: All pass -through or entitlement pro-
grams need to be reviewed and meet a
means test of faimess and need. All pro-
grams need to be reviewed in the context of
available funds and the willingness of the
public to support other revenue enhance-
ment efforts as well.
Knowles: Pass-throughs and entitlements
(not counting specific, federally funded or
federally- mandated programs) will be con-
sidered equals among all state expendi-
tures, and none will bear the brunt of budget
reductions. The single, state -funded pass -
through I will not cut is the foundation for-
mula for funding education. That is my
single, most important budget priority.
Henzler. I want to review all of them with
your local legislators.
McAlpine: Reducing or eliminating pass -
through or entitlement programs is not an
easy task Many of the programs in this
category are mandated by the federal gov-
ernment and cannot be eliminated by state
action, even ifwewantedtoeliminatethem.
I think a more important question is are we
doing the best job possible in running these
programs. I think that the answer to this
question is that we are not doing an ad-
equate job of funding these programs. If you
ask the people in the trenches who are
working with these programs, you will hear
all kinds of stories about the problems that
exist. The answer is better management of
these programs.

you support state mandates on
local�overrunerit? WhoshoullalfundOmwe
mandates?
Campbell: The issue of unfunded federal
mandates on state and local government is
a ooncemthroughoutthe nation. I am strongly
AML 1994 Governor Candidate Survey Pape 6
on record in opposition to unfunded man-
dates —including state mandates on local
government. The State of Alaska has bal-
anced its budget on the backs of our cities
and local governments. In a Jim Campbell
administration, if the state mandates a pro-
gram, the state will pay for it.
Sykes: I am against unfunded mandates.
The government that makes the mandates
should fund them. I cant think of any excep-
tions atthe moment, butthere maybe some.
Fink: Mandates should be funded by man-
dators. Local governments should not be
forced to ad as tax collectors for state
government. I have been a strong sponsor
of an unfunded mandate constitutional
amendment.
Cotten: The state needs to be more sensi-
tiveto the ability of local government to most
financial obligations for state mandates. I
think, however, that local governments will
be required to pay some portion of state
required mandates. Education, of course, is
the best example of such a state mandate
that requires local participation.
Knowles: There should be statewide stan-
dards when it comes to education, public
safety, environmental protection, environ-
mental and occupational health and other
areas where the statewide interest is con-
cerned. These costs are a partnership re-
sponsibility among all the governments in-
volved.
Henzler: This is a hypothetical question,
and I will give you an equivocal answer.
Sometimes I will, and sometimes I wont;
sometimes the state should and sometimes
you should.
McAlpine: As I said about pass -through
and entitlement programs, some state man-
dates on local governments are impossible
to avoid. If the state is going to place
mandates on local governments, the state
should pay for them. There has to be
cooperation between state and local govem-
ment to determine what is necessary and
what the people want. In light of the current
revenue picture, if a program is required at
the local level, the local level should do what
it can to provide the program. Mandating
programs on local governments is a political
shell game that will require an increase of
taxes on the local taxpayer.
:.;Do yowsupport local determination
of what services should be provkW lo.
coky ;and at what hve!??
Campbell: Absolutely. I am a strong be-
liever that government services are best
provided closest tothosewho usethem. The
state must clearly define the level of state
revenue support it is willing to provide for
these services.
Sykes: My background is empowering citi-
zens to control their governments as much
as possible. I support maximum local direc-
tion of services. The state should provide
block grants so that communities can decide
priorities themselves as much as possible.
Fink: Yes. -
Cotten: State law requires boroughs and
first class and home rule cities outside of an
organized borough to assume education,
taxation and planning powers. I support
local governments choosing what services it
desires beyond those basic powers and
services. However, local governments need
to recognize thatthere is no guarantee some
services such as public safety, particularly in
urban ares, will be provided free of charge in
the future. I would expect when the state
level of service declines or is eliminated, that
communities, such as Wasilla has recently
accomplished, will meet the challenge and
pay for the service themselves.
Knowles: Communities should have some
flexibility in dealing with mandates. State
government does not necessarily have the
right plan for every city and village.
Henzler. It all depends. I am for the best of
everything for everybody, but it will take
billions. We simply may not have the money
to afford it.
McAlpine: Yes, I do support as much local
determination as possible. My experience in
local government taught me to believe that
the local governments can do many things
much better than state government and will
provide the local citizens with better and
more meaningful programs than if they are
mandated by the state.

state continuing to change the groundrules.
The program should be funded. At the very
least, it should be a local -option program,
whether or not the state decides to partici-
pate in funding a portion of this subsidy.
Sykes: We should change the law to allow
municipalities to opt out of the mandatory
exemption. They would have to pass a reso-
lution or ordinance to opt out, which would
necessitate plenty of local discussion. The
tax relief line could be lowered to exempting
the first $100,000 in property as well.
Fink No. This program should be funded by
the Legislature or a local option.
Cotten: I view the current state poh
towards this issue as imperfect However,
feel that we, as a state and a community,
have an obligation to seniors and disabled
veterans. It is a valid state policy to insure
that all seniors and disabled veterans are
afforded such assistance by the state and
local governments.
Knowles: I understand the reasons behind
the exemption and I support the concept
However, if the state isn't going to fund it the
Legislature shouldn't pass the buck to local
governments.
Henzler. Yes. Or at the very least, let it be a
local option, but 32 legislators may not
agree.
McAlpine: I do not support the repeal of
these exemptions at this time. We have to
do a complete review of all of these pro-
grams to determine what the impact of
repeal will be and how it can be mitigated.

Assistance end State Rewrnue Sharing
programs, and- the purpose trey serve?
Do -you support the concept that state-
colioctod resouneas should be shared with
local governments? WhyJWhy not?
Campbell: Tony Knowles turned his back
on his local government roots in 1990, when
he said cutting municipal revenue -sharing
would be a top priority in cutting the state
budget if he were elected governor. I do
support the concept of sharing the resource
revenue that belongs to all Alaskans collec-
tively, to enable the municipalities, cities,
and other incorporated local governments to
perform basic services in partnership with
the state, such as education, road mainte-
nance, public health, and public safety. I will
not support any further cuts in these pro-
grams. Until we provide other revenue -rais-
ing options to local governments —such as a
share in an income tax as you suggest we
must continue to rely on local delivery of
.races, with the state paying its fair share.
Sykes: I support the concept of municipal
assistance. It should be obvious that some
communities have the good fortune to be
near rich economic actM ies that are Profit-
able —others are not so lucky. It's a good way
to provide a more equal footing for munici-
palities. The fact that contributions have
declined is a reflection of economics and
politics.
ManyAlaskans are angered to see a munici-
pality like Anchorage, with the largest tax
base, have low property taxes and no sales
tax Yet the lion's share of the state budget
benefits Anchorage more than many other
communities. It would be easier to argue
raising funding levels for existing aid to
municipalities if the states largest city did
more to help itself. I support the current
scheme at levels that are sustainable.
Fink: Yes. The State came into great wealth
in the early seventies. It began to spread the
wealth to local governments. Now it is
reducing its budget primarily by reducing
revenue sharing. Local governments should
share in the reduction but not bathe first one
cuL
Cotten: The state has a responsibility to
assist local governments with basic ser-
vices. The state has a greater capacity to
raise funds than local governments. Local
governments provide the majority of basic
services.
Knowles: Again, I support sharing state
revenues with local governments for rea-
sons I mentioned in answering question
number one. I support existing methods of
distributing state revenues to local govem-
ments.
Henzler. As I indicated before, I am well
aware that state funds are almost the only
funds that many communities have, so I
strongly support the concept that state funds
should be shared. However, the reality is
that my support will be tempered by 32
legislators. (Of course, you may find a can-
didate who can "blast money of the Legisla-
ture." By golly, that would be the guy to vote
for, in fact)
McAlpine: I support Municipal Assistance
and Revenue Sharing and the purpose they
serve. Reducing these programs is merely
a political shell game, which will have the
effect of driving up local taxes. I do not
support reductions in funding to our cities,
towns and villages.
AF ` Do you stwport ma►rttsining or kh-
crsashtg the funding hhv" for tts. exist
ing programs of state aid to -monk"&
tas? WhyAft-not?
Fink Maintain existing levels until state
substantially reduces its costs.
Caftan: I will support a realistic budget for
existing programs of state aid to municipali-
ties. However, the state and local govern-
ments need to adjust to less revenues. This
means there will be fewer funds for many
programs, including revenue sharing and
municipal assistance. To suggest otherwise
is simply being dishonest.
Knowles: I do not anticipate increases in
state aid to municipalities unless overall
state revenue goes up.
Henzler In my first year, I wouldn't try to
changes hair. I wantto asks lotof questions
and listen to a lot of answers before 1 attempt
change.
McAipine: I support maintaining the fund-
ing level forthe existing programs. It may be
that we can look at increased funding, but,
until the price of oil is known, we will take a
cautious approach.
R ... ' Wouid you support another type of
program to share a par ft. of state-col-
lectedresources with khchi/ 11b 0o en
ta'suppori' basic services? ffow shoal
such a program ibo structp .
Fink: If our state were not so wealthy it need
not pay for local government service as it
would then just be taxing local people and
giving one-half of it back I do not believe that
state government has a duty to tax to sup-
port local government. However, the state
passed lawswhich require local government
to effectuate the laws. This is wrong and is
called unfunded mandates.
Cotten: Yes, I support another type of
program. Such a program needs to reflect
local needs, capacity, current taxes and
level of services. A new program should be
established by a joint effort of local and state
officials.
Henzler. Nothing comes to mind, but I am
open to suggestions from the public, com-
munities, and legislators.
McAlpine: I do not support new programs
for sharing state -collected resources.

cailactsdrownws, fromaurittsoueces
ore now tea;.tok eolgovet7unents?.WW
Why not?
Sykes: I would oppose a constitutional
amendment to dedicate any state -collected
revenues. The reason dedicated funds are
not constitutional is because dedicated funds
early in the state's history left no money for
general government services. If local gov-
ernments take on more services currently
delivered by the state, then they would be
entitled additional funding.
Fink: No.
Cotten: No, I would not support such an
amendment.
Knowles: Generally. I don't favor dedicated
funds, but there has been some discussion
over the years about using some fuel taxes
as dedicated funds for road maintenance,
and I haven't ruled that out.
Henzler. If such a proposal made it to a form
in which it reached the status of an amend-
ment to the constitution, it would have been
exposed to a series of hearings. At that point
I would know whether I supported it or not
McAlpine: I am not in favor of dedicated
revenues. The budgeting process should be
handled by the governor proposing a budget
and then working to get it through the legis-
lature. If the governor feels that funding
municipal assistance and revenue sharing
are a priority, he should say so and then
push to get adequate funding through the
legislature. Dedicated funds or budgeting by
the constitution are dangerous in that a large
degree of flexibility is lost Remember that
it can be a double edged sword and could be
interpreted to limit the amount of funding
that can go to local governments.
a what ls'the,proper role of the state
gom"mant n1irndi'ntitheoperadii1ycoats
of school dis&kts? What wu/ yarr do as
GovernortiosupportAlaskat educational
system?
Campbell: The Alaska Constitution clearly
states that public education is the prime
responsibility ofthestate. Thestate's educa-
tional funding is another example of a per-
sistent pattern of changing the groundrules
for local school districts, setting foundation
formulas and then underfunding them. Edu-
cation is a priority with Alaskans, and it is a
priority with me. I will enure that our public
schools receive the necessary funding to
provide a good, basic education for our
children. We must also recognize that 65%
of our high school students do not continue
on to college. We will improve vocational
education and technical preparation pro-
grams to enable our youth to compete in the
high-tech environment of the future.
Sykes: The state has a constitutional obli-
gation to provide education for the citizens of
Alaska. Last yearthe education budget was
funded as a legislative priority, by accident,
but nevertheless funded. Forward funding of
the entire budget should be done. If we can
do it in pieces, we could startwith education.
We have one of the strongest community
education laws in the U.S. and each commu-
nity should actively assess their own educa-
tional needs so that graduates can live and
work in their own communities as well as go
outside to get a job if they so choose. i have
participated in such processes and they
work
Fink: The states, role should be supportive
of the Foundation Program. On the other
hand, local school boards have been re-
moved from accountability to the local tax-
payers and I think those who spend public
dollars would be directly accountable to
those whom they collect them from, even if
it is a secondhand distribution of resource
wealth. State government should not 100
percent fund local schools.
Cotten: I have a record, not just promises,
on education. I was the prime sponsor of the
pilot program for a smaller number of stu-
dent -to -teacher ratio. I have been a consis-
tent supporter of early and full funding of
education. I will not dodge the tough chal-
lenge of adequately funding our educational
needs.
Knowles: I support full funding of public
education. It evens out resources for com-
munities with and without tax bases. It is a
constitutional mandate and the Governor
should be the chief proponent of public
education during the funding debates in the
Capitol.
Henzler. Forthe first year of my term I would
stay with the formula as it now stands. After
being buffeted for a year in office by all the
parties to education in this state, I will be
better able to answer this question.
McAlpine: I support full funding of educa-
tion in Alaska. Education should be the top
priority of state government
7. What type of prog!rare<Wlll W sup.

&kts have adequate phyakol faculties?
How sharkl sehood cons&ucftn costa �•
funded?
Campbell: A high priority must be placed on
the maintenance of those facilities we al-
ready have. It is appropriate for both the
state and local school district to share in the
cost of capital construction through state
reimbursement of a portion of construction
costs. We must also prioritizethese projects,
with the state maintaining oversight on capi-
tal construction.
I will develop a stable state capital construc-
tion program, to level off the year-to-year,
roder-coesterspending we have experienced
in the past As part of this process, I intend
to reorganize the Department of Transporta-
tion & Public Facilities to create a commis-
sion structure that will appoint the commis-
sioner and set the policies of the depart-
ment Such a structure will transcend gover-
nors (and politics); bring long-term memory
and continuity to the process; provide long-
term planning; and open our capital project
spending to public input.
Sykes: We can propose statewide educa-
tion bonds for capital projects. All projr
should be the result of capital improvem_...
plans or needed in cases of safety or health
emergencies. Basic needs include provi-
sions for all employees, instruction for stu-
dents with special needs, support services,
capital and design costs forschool construc-
tion.
Fink: What is in place seems to be working.
I favor substantial state investment in local
school infrastructure but only with a sub-
stantial local match.
Cotten: The state government needs to
continue to fund a sizable portion of the
school construction needs.
Knowles: Over the last several years the
Legislature, the Department of Education
and manylocal governments worked to craft
a school construction prioritization program.
It dealt with setting priorities and most of the
basic fairness issues, but what we lack is a
realistic funding plan. I will lead on this issue
to set up a long4erm funding strategy to
ensure this program works.
Henzler. There you go again. Ensure.A- -it

nor will, for the first year of his tern will use
the budget proposed by his predecessor.
There simply has never been time between
9lection day in early November and swear-
ig in day in early December to prepare and
do otherwise. Is that true?
McAlpine: We can not fund every project
for every school district. We have to set up
a system that prioritizes construction of new
facilities and just as importantlyfunds needed
repairs to existing facilities. We've ignored
some of our facilities to the point that they
area dangerto both the students and teach-
ers. Input has to come from the local
communities.
8. Conveyance of and enddententrto
Aaskans mankoaUtas has.;bawr: vwy
stow. Whet wX your do as Governor to
make lands nrors-avalabra to-Amal ggow
ernmants?
Campbell: I will direct the Department of
Natural Resources to place a high priority on
the conveyance of these lands. They are
important for local economic development
and infrastructure. The Municipal Lands Act
was passed in the 1970's. I will not drag my
feet in holding up the state's part of the
Municipal Lands Act bargain as the previous
administrations of Sheffield, Cowper and
Hickel have done. There is no reason for
local governments to wait until the 21 st
Century to receive their entitlement.
Sykes: Conveyance has been slow, but so
have selections. All unconveyed selections
should receive expedited review through a
process of priorities developed by city and
municipal governments for their requests.
No one can promise faster conveyances
without more employees in the Division of
Land Management.
Fink: I believe that the land entitlement
program has been a mixed blessing. My
experience in Anchorage has been that all
public lands wind up being treated as parks
and are placed off limits to broad based,
legitimate public use or economic develop-
ment. I intend to speed up land transfers but
I will place a much higher priority on making
land available for economic development as
opposed to just making more parks out of it
Our communities need private land to pros-
per, not more parks.
Cotten: I supporta morestreamline process
,)f conveyance of land to municipalities.
-and in local government hands generally
means a better chance for locally supported
and directed economic development. I also
strongly support the efforts of AML and
others to transfer tideland title to municipali-
ties. This would be a high priority of my
administration.
Knowles: The Department of Natural Re-
sources needs the people and the expertise
to make sure boroughs and municipalities
reoeivewhat communities are owed, In terns
of land selection and conveyance. I will
make sure the department has the resources
to do the job.
Hensler: If the cause of the speed of the
conveyance is the state, then 1 will do all in
my power to expedite that exchange and
make it generous; after all, it Ise conveyance
to ourselves. If it involves conveyances from
Native corporations, all I can say is that they
waited over 200 years.
McAlpine: The identification process of state
selected lands from the federal government
is now essentially complete, but the process
of getting it surveyed, assessed, etc. has yet
to be completed. Funding for both the
Federal Agencies and the State Division of
Lands has been reduced, which has slowed
the process down. I'll take a look at this
problem and will be seeking assistance from
the AML to set priorities for land transfers.
Unfortunately, there is not enough money
available to fund all of the priorities of all the
groups who have problems and concerns.
9.: Other comments?
Campbell: Alaska will need strong leader-
ship in the next four years as it faces the
many challenges that confront it I have the
proven leadership ability to attract, moti-
vate, inspire, and work with good people. I
look forward to working together with Ted
Stevens, Frank Murkowski, and Don Young
in Congress on the issues that are important
to our state and our local governments.
Alaska also needs a Governor who will bring
our industries, our people, and our local
governments together —to build bridges, not
wails. My opponent in the primary election,
Tom Fink, has built his reputation on con-
frontation and divisiveness, my approach is
just the opposite. I ask for your support in
August and November.
Sykes: We cannot solve our major prob-
lems as a state until we change the consti-
tution to recognize rural subsistence priority,
recognize tribal governments on a govern-
ment -to -government basis, encourage de-
velopment of a tribal justice system, and
work out management of fish and game.
I worked for the Alaska Native Review Com-
mission in 1984 and 85 and have worked to
preserve customary and traditional subsis-
tence rights for my own roadless area north-
east of Taikeetne. I believe my past record
and involvement gives me the best chance
of any of the candidates that I can focus the
public and legislature to solve these prob-
lems.
I was the only candidate in 19W pushing for
health care for all Alaskans, the only one
advocating recognition oftribal governments
and the only one actively working for citizen
rights towards maximum community self-
determination. I am committed to people
being ableto control theirfutures as much as
they are able. I helped form a community
council and chaired a regional citizen plan
for four of five years. People who weren't
speaking to each other 10 years ago came
to work through their concerns. When com-
munities go through this process with active
citizen participation, direction is given to
borough, state and federal governments.
Fink: No.
McAlpine: Having served as a City Coun-
cilman and Mayor, I am sensitive to the
issues that AML has been working on for
years. I will not need to go through a looming
experience before I begin the task of govern-
ing. I will be a friend of local government if
I am elected governor.
AML 1994 Governor Candidate Surrey Page 10
The following letter was recieved in response to the AML Governor Candidate Survey.
Jim Don
Republican Candidate for Governor
I am a Republican candidate for Governor and define myself as an unabashed conservative with a visceral distaste for big
government 1 have lived in Alaska 21 years and worked in pipeline construction, as a ski -plane and floatplane pilot, and am
currently employed as an Aviation Maintenance Technician.
These are the three issues I'm running on: first; slashing government spending. I will -balance the budget on spending cuts,
not on new taxes, sales taxes, or any other of Involuntary oontribution; second, I will aggressively pursue responsible resource
development on state land resulting in private sector jobs for Alaskans: third, I am an unswerving supporter of the right to bear
arms. ANY gun control measure reaching my desk will receive my fully automatic veto.
Additionally, I'm an unequivocally pro=Nfe, in favor of term limits, and favor revising education funding to allow tax credits
or other financial Incentives that will allow all parents the freedom to send their kits to the school of their choosing.
Finally, I will not accept any campaign donations. 1 cannot, in good conscience, accept an elected position with a political
payback hanging over Mo. if a"major' candidate is defined as theowwho reisesthe most money, then It's thedemocraticprocess
that suffers.
I consider myself a blue-collar common sense type of guy who will bring no-nonsense government to Juneau.
I will answer your governor's survey with the above position paper. My administration will balance the budget on spending
cuts in all areas of government. I don't sea state government as a revenue -seeking machine. My goal is to keep government
off our backs, out of our wallets, and out of our lows. Government closest to the people works best.
REMINDER:
The primary election is on August 23.
The Alaska Municipal League encourages
everyone to get involved in selecting new
leadership for the state. Ask the candidates
for governor and the legislature these and
other questions on municipal issues.

Dear Mr. Church:
At last nights' Kenai City Council meeting, I was asked to contact you about two things:
1. The signal at Forest drive and the Spur continues to malfunction. A council -person
pointed out that the red signal was stuck in position so long that motorists were
going through the intersection on the red stop signal.
2. People are continuing to travel in the R.O.W. parallel to the Spur Highway between
Dairy Queen and the Carrs store entrance. I realize this is a State R.O.W. but our
Council is worried about possible acccidents occuring here.
Would you please see what can be done concerning these problems that have been
pointed out? Thank you.

The Council of the City of Kenai requested that I contact you concerning the problems that are
constantly occurring to the signal at the intersection of the Kenai Spur Highway and Forest
Drive.
The problem is that quite often the signal stops it's normal operation and starts blinking.
Originally I thought that the problem only occurred whenever there was a power interruption or
the power blinked. I have been told that it can happen at any time, even without any power
fluctuation.
The City requests that one of your signal experts either repair the malfunctioning signal or make
improvements to prevent future problems. Thank you.

need to be received by us no later than Seamber 15. 1994 to be considered for funding in next year's
legislative process.
There are two significant changes to this grant pr+agam from last year. Federal funds can now be used to
match State funds on a one -for -one basis. Arai, this program can now fund up to 85 percent of a project,
depending upon population For communities with less than 1,000 people, 85 percent is the funding limit
For comvnunities with a population between 1,001 and 5,000 people, the funding limit is 70 percent For
communities with more than 5,000 people, the knit: is 50 percent
Along with the Questionrm* we: have sent you a copy of the! Criteria we use to evaluate projects. Every
year we review this crttei and modify therrr to aceonnmodaie the ever changing needs in Alaskan
communities, as well as charging legal requirement . We believe this criteria system balances the many
different kinds of needs that have historically been present as well as anticipating future requirements. The
criteria system has changed sonyewhmt in the category at operation, maintenance and management
capabilities to reflect additional management responsibilities necessary for a successful utility system.
Please note that projects am scared on the basis of the infammtion provided in this Questionnaire. The
number of points assigned to an area is shown irr parenthesis next to that question If two projects tie in
scortM the project Questionnaire with the earliest date: received by ADEC will be given priority.
If you need techr*al assistance in c=pletirg this Questionnaire, please contact either Dan Gamer in

The project is progressing on time and appears to be very close to budget. The
Contractor anticipates being substantially completed around the middle of
September, two weeks ahead of schedule. As of the 25th of July, approximately half
of the water and sewer piping was installed. Since most of the deep trench
excavations have been completed, the Contractor is beyond half way as far as effort.
As of the 25th of July, the Contractor has installed both water and sewer mains in
Togiak Road, Iowa Street, Eisenhower Street, Wildrose Avenue, Nevada Street from
Wildrose to Primrose Road, Fireweed Lane from Togiak to Dogwood, Primrose Road
from Iowa to Nevada, and water only in Primrose between Nevada and Fern Street.
As of the date of this report, water and sewer mains have been completed in Nevada
Primrose Road and Fern Street.
The Contractor has reconstructed the following roads nearly back to original grade:
Togiak, Iowa, Eisenhower, Wildrose, and the south half of Nevada. Finish grading
and pulling of ditches are still required.
We do not anticipate significant changes in the excavation and backfill quantities
based on the survey data we have to date. This is almost always an unknown until
project completion. Items that will increase in quantities will be 50.04 (2), 50.11,
50.12, 50.14(1), 60.03(3), 60.06, 70.23. The known increases in quantities are about
$15,000. All of these increases are an added value to the project, or in the case of
the sewer cleanouts, the quantity on the bid form is fewer than designed. A guess at
this time is a $20,000 - $25,000 increase in pay items by the end of the project.
However, there will be a reduction for items 20.07(3), 20.11, 50.02(4), 60.02(1). The
expected decreases will be a total of at least $32,000. The decreases includes
mostly a lesser quantity of 8" water main and associated ditching than indicated on
the bid form. In our opinion based on the level of completion, the increases should
approximately balance out the decreases. We will not know for sure until the final
pay estimate is complete.

An issue that has been a concern to the Contractor is the existing steel gas main
that they have worked around and sometimes removed. At the end of the project
the Contractor will likely request a negotiated price for additional work or file a claim.
Before Foster Construction began encountering the gas main, they requested
precompensation for approximately $20,000. According to our inspector, down time
has been considerably less than apparently they had anticipated, and if a claim is
filed, it should be for significantly less than the $20,000.
If you have any questions regarding the status of the project, please give me a call.
