VERBATIM CITY MANAGER REPORT DECEMBER 21, 1994 I -2. City Manager Manninen: Thank you your honor. The, HEA has got an agreement with the city and I met with Mr. Story this afternoon and I expect by May first, next year, you'll have your revised letter of understanding on operating the street lighting system. In preparing it there are some technical difficulties in their continuing to honor the agreement that's been in effect since 1991. And ah, so, I have requested them to redraft something and start negotiating the end of January with the idea that we want to come up with a new agreement by May first and they have already put us on notice that they intend to sever the letter of understanding effective May first if we don't. So, this is the first time that we've had an opportunity to meet with them since getting that letter. So, I'll keep you informed as to what's going on there and ah.... Two other items that were discussed at the last couple of council meetings. One is the Kenai Bible Church and potential swap of land with the City. Ah, Keith and I met with Bud Loftstedt and Jerry Rain? Room ?, but ah, with the Church and they are interested basically in swapping church land and the buildings for another facility somewhere else on City land, airport land, we don't care where, but they need to get something that they will be able to move into lock, stock and barrell, turn -key operation. Ah, we don't have anything in writing, but that's their basic philosophy. That's would be a deal for them. The other item is the sloughing of the bluff. Ah, Mr. Peters was here about every other meeting the last month or two and we again talked to Bill Nelson and he said that you could do a rough oh, sheet piling of oh, maybe 500 feet down by the, the ah river and allow the bluff to slough and he estimated the cost to be about $1,000 a foot for that 500 feet. And ah, there's a lot of questions involved in that. That's where that discussion went. So we're looking at $500,000 to $550,000 to protect the view in that area and it may or may not work. And if it does work, how much more do you want to invest, up to twenty or thirty million dollars that TAMS study was going to cost a lot fancier project, but nevertheless, it could go up probably twenty or thirty million if you wanted study. And then, along the lines of what the mayor was saying, the EDD is continuing to look at a business innovation center. About everytime I read in their innovation center. They -1- wanted the ARCO building. Schlumberger bought it. Now the Carr's, the old Carr's mall is in their number one priority list and we'll keep you advised of what's happening there. That is zoned for light industry, so it would fit right into their business innovation center concept. It would be a matter of them getting the funding to carry it off if that's the site that's finally selected. Other than that, that's it. It's nice to be half way there. I know I'm on the right road. Thank you. Williams: Councilman Bookey. Bookey: Ah, I'd just like to ask one question and that's about the Kenai Bible negotiations. They indicated to you they wanted a full - fledged facility? They were no interested in vacant lands? Manninen: No, no, they, they wanted vacant land, but they needed to get something that would, they'd be able to move, to have a facility on the vacant land that is basically ready to move into. Not just, not just swap with the.... Bookey: And they wanted the City of Kenai to develop and do that? Manninen: That's... Bookey: Because that's not the way I... Manninen: Kornelis: Manninen: ...Keith is that.... Yeah. Keith and I were in on the discussion for... Bookey: Because I'm surprised that's not the thing they indicated to me, that, I mean, they were willing to negotiate build their own facilities. They... Kornelis: Well, and.... Manninen: Warren Fisher wasn't there but these two representatives of the church and that's, that's my of the position. Now, I don't know who ratified it change direction, but that's what they told us. Do anything else on that Keith? and gentlemen are understanding or you have Kornelis: Basically, they said they didn't have any money so we would have to pay them enough money for the land and their building that they could take that money and build another facility. -2- Bookey: Yeah, well that's...I, I don't know what's...All I know is what they told me at the time that I brought it to the Council and that was they indicated whatever appraisal that would be there that they would be willing to sell that and that they would take and develop from that point themselves. They, you know I, I don't understand them coming back now and saying they want....I feel there may be some kind of mis- communications here. Manninen: Well, that's possible because nobody did anything in writing... Bookey: Right. Manninen: ...but what we did do is, is we disclosed what our obligations are as far as it's general fund land, it's airport land, appraisals would be required, we would expect that they would do appraisals... Bookey: Right. Manninen: ...and if the value's there, the value's there. If it's not there, you know, that's another issue. And, ah, they didn't pretend to know how much value they had and they selected, well didn't select, they requested information on two or three sites and, and wanted a map of city and airport -owned lands and we told them just getting the appraisal may take three or four months... Bookey: Right. Manninen: ...Ah, on the City's part and be quite expensive. Maybe five, ten thousand dollars or more and we would require the requesting party to pay for that and I'm not even sure that they want to do an appraisal on their property by themselves, much less than pay for our appraisal on our lands. So, it's all up in the air. That's where, they have to get enough value out of their property to replace both land and buildings or it's not a deal for them. That's inaudible . And, and, we don't know until... Bookey: Right. And I, I thought that was understood. I mean, I understood from them that they understood it that way. If that was the direction, I mean, I wouldn't have even entertained an idea of, for the council to consider it if I didn't feel comfortable and that they understood that when I talked to them. Manninen: Well, maybe they had the feeling that the land is, is prime land and, and very valuable. That's basically when you get an appraisal.... Measles: The value goes down after every storm. Swarner: That's right. -3- Bookey: That's right, it gets less. Manninen: And, then the Council will want the property and agree to it... Bookey: Right. I was just, I was just under, I mean, when you said they were expecting us to go ahead and develop a parcel and put a building on it and everything else for them just to walk out of one facility and into another was completely different than what I ever discussed with them or that they ever discussed with me. Manninen: With the values in the land, I think that's their intent to their land, that's what they'd need. Bookey: Okay. Manninen: If it's not there, it's they agree there's just no possibility for it to be unless the city wanted the land that bad that they wanted to put . But, we said that's not our call. You're going to have to come back here. Bookey: And, and that's right. Thank you. Manninen: I also got a birthday present from Swede when I got home tonight. A berm. Swarner: A berm? Well see, he doesn't discriminate. END OF REPORT. • USA TODAY ale sca ressler says.

Manninen, City Manager /,V Date: December 16, 1994 RE: Synopsis of 12/14/94 Meeting on Proposed Kenai Peninsula Borough (KPB) Ordinance 94 -52 At the December 14, 1994 joint meeting of the Kenai City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission, proposed KPB Ordinance 94 -52 was discussed. The proposed ordinance would restrict development within 600' of the 100 Year Flood Plain, from the mouth of the Kenai River to the Kenai City limits, 12 -1/2 miles up river, to conditional use status. HOME RULE Several issues were raised and discussed regarding this additional restriction and overlapping zoning and development constraints. Most revolved around Kenai protecting its home -rule status and maintaining its authority for continuing planning and zoning as the only planning and zoning authority within the City of Kenai. There was unanimous consent by all Planning and Zoning members and City Council members present that Kenai should keep its powers and furthermore, that the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council do not want to see the KPB proposed Ordinance 94 -52 become enacted without exempting the City of Kenai up to mile 12.5 of the Kenai River. INVERSE CONDEMNATION Additional consideration for the Borough and others planning to enforce any further restrictions on the Kenai River Overlay District within the City of Kenai concerns private property rights and the compensation for regulations decreasing property values by limiting or constraining its use, i.e. inverse condemnation, lawsuits and expensive litigation and settlement costs. Who becomes liable if the Kenai Peninsula Borough passes a restrictive ordinance for the costs of litigation and settlement? Does the Borough pay or do the state or federal agencies purchase property as they did in the case of the Kachemak State Park across from Homer? Is Kenai liable directly or contingently if it acquiesces to the KPB overlay district ordinance? 1IIIV 1992 Honorable John Williams and Kenai City Council December 16, 1994 Page 2 ENFORCEMENT MECHANISM It was unclear as to who would enforce regulations in addition to the authority granted in exercise by the City of Kenai through the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council presently. It is unclear who enforces the ordinance, i.e., whether the Kenai Peninsula Borough Planning staff or other Borough agents would exercise planning /enforcement authority or delegate that to agencies of the State of Alaska - -such as DNR, Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation, Department of Fish and Game, DEC, or a federal agency such as United States Fish and Wildlife Service. Cost of development questions, enforcement duplications and authority problems would limit /severely restrict any future land use and the use of currently subdivided land along the Kenai River in Kenai city limits without any marked value worth the price over current city restrictions. UNCLEAR BENEFITS /CLEAR NEGATIVE IMPACTS There was no direct value or impact shown or demonstrated in the discussion of the proposed KPB Ordinance 94 -52 on "saving" the Kenai River salmon spawning and wildlife habitat within the City limits if these regulations go into effect. No proof was given. The price looks like another burdensome, duplicative, bureaucratic overlay of enforcement that would have no direct impact on saving the Kenai River salmon /wildlife habitat. CURRENT LAWS /ENFORCEMENT LACKING /WHAT'S THE PRICE? The point was made that currently the State cannot enforce trespass along the banks below high water mark for fisherman and there was no addressing the overuse of the Kenai River as a resource by motor boating. The proposed ordinance has no proposed regulation on loading of the Kenai River or limiting use, but rather extending restrictions to the arbitrary 600' past the 100 Year Flood Plain. The proposed ordinance is a knee -jerk reaction that has more emotional appeal than real impact on the fish /wildlife on the Kenai River within Kenai's city limits. Historically, the Kenai River, up to mile 12.5, has been successfully protected by the Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission as evidenced by the City's existing 2100 acres of wetlands that is owned and has been successfully preserved by the City of Kenai. What further conservation /protection will be provided by this ordinance? Finally, Kenai's perception is that the additional bureaucratic price is too much to pay for the results: a conditional use permit for a 600' setback beyond the 100 Year Flood Plain on the Honorable John Williams and Kenai City Council December 16, 1994 Page 3 Kenai River, from the mouth to mile 12.5, without any value or reason for restricting uses along the river. It would not mitigate natural erosion or current natural ground and surface water issues or prevent any significant adverse alteration of fish /wildlife habitat. Therefore, the Kenai City Council strongly urges the Kenai Peninsula Borough to delete the last 12.5 miles of the Kenai River from Ordinance 94 -52. GOAL SUMMARY: KENAI'S OPPOSITION TO PROPOSED KPB ORDINANCE 94 -52 The City of Kenai has a goal to protect the Kenai River's salmon habitat for current and future generations. Kenai believes that the best, most effective and efficient way of implementing this currently is through continued local Kenai enforcement of local zoning codes. Until these issues can be resolved to the satisfaction of the Kenai City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission, Kenai strongly resists and actively opposes any imposition of further development constraints on these properties. There may be some possibility of discussing rezoning or establishing a City "conservation zone" in the wetland areas from the current residential or low density residential land use zoning; however, this would need to be considered by the Kenai City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission. Finally, in summary, the issues are (1) protecting private property rights, (2) protecting the City's home -rule and planning and zoning authority, (3) coordinating enforcement of regulations along the Kenai River, (4) demonstrating what direct value any additional regulations would have on saving the salmon spawning habitat or protecting wildlife within the City limits, and (5) what is the rationale for a unilateral setback that is proposed at 600' from the 100 Year Flood Plain in KPB Ordinance 94 -52. Areas beyond mile 12.5, or between Beaver Creek and Pillars, may be more acceptable and the need and necessity may be more reasonably explained and protected in that area. The proposed Kenai River Overlay District, by definition, adds more restrictions and unnecessary layers of enforcement. The necessity for the overlay district must be demonstrated. Is the added cost /development constraint and loss of use of private property worth the "price" to be paid by public and private land owners alike? This is not a black and white issue; it is a silver and a green issue! cc: Cary Graves, City Attorney Jack La Shot, City Engineer C: \WPDOCS \TJM \OVERLAY.MEM 1C'06/94 09:37 FAX 907 257 5399 DWT ANCHORAGE 4fr,547 Dui ' ,&&ived %Z /2//90 KENAI PENINSULA BOROUGH ORDINANCES 94- 5a cp AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING THE KENAI RIVER \` OVERLAY DISTRICT, ESTABLISHING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REQUIREMENTS AND SETTING FORTH CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT APPROVAL CRITERIA WHEREAS, the Kenai River System is recognized as a critical natural resource upon which, to a very large degree, the economic well being of the Kenai Peninsula Borough is dependent, and which provides recreational and subsistence opportunities which enhance the quality of life to the citizens of the Kenai Peninsula Borough; and WHEREAS, numerous and adequate studies have been completed detailing and inventorying the complexity and scope of the Kenai River ecosystem; and WHEREAS, the aforementioned studies are unanimous in concluding that the health and well being of the river is in grave jeopardy and appropriate tools are presently not available to control the ongoing habitat degradation; and WHEREAS, the need exists to limit future high density development along and adjacent to the Kenai River; and, WHEREAS, the Kenai Peninsula Borough is responsible for land use planning within its boundaries; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KENAI PENINSULA BOROUGH: SECTION 1.

Freas. City Clerk. of December 13. 1994. MAYOR WILLIAMS DISCUSSION WITH ASSEMBLYMAN DR-1 THM4N REG.4RDLVG OVERLAY ORDINANCE. I have had an opportunity to read the above - mentioned memorandum dealing with my conversation with Mayor Williams. I will address the comments by the paragraph numbers contained in the Kenai memo. 1. I had not seen the memo entitled "SPECIAL COMMI1I LE FOR ORDINANCE 94 -52" until it was faxed to me attached to Mayor William's memo. Drew Scalzi and I had discussed the proposed ordinance and how various parts of could be addressed by committees. He did dictate the memo in question. We did discuss committees. but I never had a copy of the final memo or I would have understood what exactly was causing the confusion. It is my belief that other members of the Assembly have also not seen the memo. In any event. the "new SPECIAL COMMI1"1 EE [that] will be formed that provides additional regulations ..." . referred to in the last paragraph of Drew's memo. is a Planning Commission committee. not a special Assembly committee. As you know. their is presently a member of the City of Kenai Planning Commission serving on the KPB Planning Commission. Additionally, as I also explained to Mayor Williams. I was under the impression that the Planning Commission "Special Committee" was going to have additional members representing all the interested groups — of which the City of Kenai is certainly one. 3. The goal of 94 -52 is to protect the habitat of the Kenai River. nothing more, nothing less. Any restrictions will address preventing habitat degradation. not elimination of development. Development is vital to our economy and planned development is vital to the survival of the river. It is hoped that the Ordinance will initiate minimal standards to protect the river and continue to permit development. 4. It is presently envisioned that the bulk of the regulations will be developed through the Planning Commission and then presented to the Assembly for approval and adoption. All groups, certainly including the City of Kenai. will be included in this process. 5. This again addresses the misconception that there presently exists a "special committee ". The Planning Commission committee does not vet exist. as far as I know, and will be created by the Commission. 6. The City of Kenai will have a seat on the special Committee as a representative of the City of Kenai Planning Commission presently sits on the KPB Planning Commission. 8. Paragraph 1, above. addresses the issue. if it is an issue. as to when I saw the memo. The City of Kenai memorandum is not correct in that I did not say that "no From: RONALD WM. DRATFIMAN To: 8. y Glick Data: 12!21/94 Time: 16:01:21 Pao* 3ot3 one at the Borough will own up to issuing the memo." I told John that 1. I hadn't seen the memo until Gay had faxed it as part of John's letter to me. 2. that Gaye hadn't seen the memo before either. 3. that upon my request. Gave checked the Clerk's Office word processing equipment and the memo was there. but she didn't know how it got there. and 4. Drew has since told me that he dictated the memo to Shirley -- Gave wasn't in the office -- and that is where the memo came from. There is simply no mystery here. The only problem concerning the memo was the confusion as to the make -up and: or existence of the "committee" that will be working on the regulations. It is a Planning Commission committee. not an Assembly Committee. And it does not yet exist. The present membership of the KPBA Kenai River Committee includes Betty Glick and Tim Navarre. both of Kenai. I hope this clarifies the confusion. If I can provide any additional information. please give me a ring at 235 -7207. I will see you at the January Committee meeting.

(CIRI) owns approximately 344 acres of river front property along the Kenai River. According to the recently completed study entitled 'An Assessment of the Cumulative Impacts of Development and Human Uses On Fish Habitat In The Kenai River" by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF &G) this totals some 45,321 feet of water frontage. Virtually all of this acreage is undeveloped at this time. The "overlay district" proposed in the above referenced ordinance (94 -52) will encompass all of this area, as well as some adjoining lands owned by CIRI that do not front on the river. It is obvious that the ordinance as proposed will affect any future use of CIRI property here. What is not obvious at this point is to what extent it will affect use of this property. Ordinance 94-52 states that the "health and well -being of the (Kenai) river is in grave jeopardy and appropriate tools are presently not available to control the on -going habitat degradation ", It seeks to create an "overlay district" within which development activities will be regulated by establishing "special requirements° and requiring a "conditional use permit". Except for the submission of a site plan, it Is not clear what other "special" requirements are necessary to obtain a "conditional use permit ". It is also not clear how the development activities listed in the ordinance would be affected by this permit. Would they be prohibited? What restrictions, if any, would be imposed through this additional permit process? What would constitute acceptable development within this district? Don't standards and procedures currently exist for such activities as construction of on -site waste water disposal systems, water wells, and the storage of fuels, as well as development in wetlands, navigable waters, and the coastal zone in general? How would this ordinance be applied to lands already developed? In order to properly evaluate the effects of the proposed ordinance, it is also necessary to have available the regulations which would implement it. When will these be available? The language of 94 -52 was reviewed in conjunction with a review of the above referenced study by ADF &G ( the 309 Study). This seems to be the most recent and most definitive study done to date on conditions existing on the river. In reviewing this study it is noted that at this time that nearly 60% of the total river frontage is in CIRI BUILDING 2525 "C STREET P.O. BOX 93330 ANCHORAGE, ALASKA 99509.3330 (907) 274 -5638 FAX 1907) 279-8136 DEC- 2 -94 FRI 12:18 COOK INLET REGION INC FAX 1,10. 9072798836 P. 02 public ownership, approximately 93% of the total river frontage is in a natural state, and that just over 2% of the "Habitat Units" (Hu's, as defined in the study) originally available for the rearing of king salmon have been lost as a result of not just man- made impacts but also by trampling, vegetation loss, and bank instability. No conclusions, projections, or threshold levels are described which would equate additional levels of Hu loss or river front disturbance with projected fish loss or river productivity. The primary objective of the Kenai River 309 Study was to identify and evaluate the cumulative impacts of uses and activities affecting the physical and biological integrity of the Kenai River's fish habitat (page 6 of the report). Analyses of conditions within a 100 foot corridor from the ordinary high water line (OHW) were performed. Identified as being most critical within this corridor was the vegetation immediately adjacent to the river bank, as well as the condition of the bank itself along with the nearshore water conditions within a six foot distance of the bank. It was acknowledged that in some areas, additional uplands might warrant consideration because of their sensitive nature and their potential for impact on the river's fish habitat. The "corridor of interest" described above is significantly different than the zone that is being proposed in the ordinance. What is the rational for proposing to create a restricted zone that in some cases may be over 1/2 mile from the river channel? Apparently, a concern of one of the authors of 94 -52 was the prevention of "pollutants" from entering the river. However, discharges of "pollutants" are already regulated, and are illegal no matter what distance they are from a waterbody. If discharges into the river are resulting in a water quality problem, (this was not identified as a problem in the 309 Study) what are the responsible agencies doing to identify the sources and take action to mitigate the situation? The 309 Study paints out that nearly 60% of the river frontage included in the study is in public ownership, while 28% is in private ownership. Half of this has some type of development on it. River -wide, the most severe bank trampling and vegetation loss (and thus, habitat loss) has occurred at public access sites and at commercial use sites. most of these sites are in public ownership. According to the study, "all of the public access sites developed by the state have experienced severe vegetation loss and bank erosion ... ". The study also states that the level of impact associated with bank trampling ( those areas where heavy foot traffic has resulted in the denuding of the vegetation which protects against erosion) is greatest on federal lands subject to intensive use ". Given this information, what is being done by the managing agencies to address the problems that are obviously occurring on the public lands along the river? It seems ironic that the very agencies that are doing the most to promote and increase use and access on the river are the ones creating situations which are resulring in significant degradation of the habitat. Since the purpose of 94 -52 is to "mitigate the effects of human activity on the river" and to allow for development that will not cause "significant adverse alteration of fish habitat ", how will the ordinance be applied to public land? On September 2, 1994, the USDA Soil Conservation Service (SCS) released their final technical report entitled "Kenai River Cooperative River Basin Study ". Neither DEC- 2 -94 FRI 12:19 COOK INLET REGION INC FAX NO, 9072798838 P. 03 this report or the 309 Study left the impression that "the health and well being of the river is in grave Jeopardy ". Instead, both reports made reasonable recommendations as to additional work that could be done to better define what is or might be affecting habitat along the river (See pages 58 -59 of the 309 Study, and Chapter VI of the SCS Study). One such recommendation, by the SCS, is the performance of a "gap" analysis to identify which resources, if any, are not being adequately addressed by existing activities or regulatory programs. This would seem like a logical and necessary initial step before additional levels of regulation are considered. It would be very much appreciated if you could review these comments and respond to the questions and issues raised, so that CIRI can better evaluate the impact of the proposed ordinance on the use if its lands along the Kenai River.

KENAI AIRPORT COMMISSION December 1, 1994 City Hall Council Chambers Chairman Tom Thibodeau * * ** *MINUTES * * * ** 1. ROLL CALL Loretta Harvey administered the oath of office to Barbara Edwards and welcomed her to the Commission. Members present: Ron Holloway, Joel Kopp, Henry Knackstedt, Barbara Edwards, Bob Scott, Thomas Thibodeau Members absent: Bonnie Koerber Also present: Randy Ernst, Airport Manager; Loretta Harvey, Administrative Assistant 2. APPROVAL OF AGENDA JOEL KOPP MOVED APPROVAL OF THE AGENDA AS PRESENTED. RON HOLLOWAY SECONDED. AGENDA APPROVED AS PRESENTED. 3. PERSONS PRESENT SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD 4. APPROVAL OF MINUTES November 17, 1994 HENRY KNACKSTEDT NOTED THERE HAD BEEN AN ELECTION OF OFFICERS AT THE PREVIOUS MEETING, WHICH WAS NOT REFLECTED IN THE MINUTES. TOM THIBODEAU WAS ELECTED CHAIRMAN AND RON HOLLOWAY WAS ELECTED VICE CHAIR. MINUTES WERE APPROVED AS AMENDED. 5. OLD BUSINESS a. CAP Hangar paving project Randy Ernst reported that Council had approved getting a cost estimate on this project. Jack La Shot, City Engineer will be working with Henry Knackstedt on the engineering for this. Henry Knackstedt said the design should be ready for next construction session, and the project should be completed next summer. Airport Commission December 1, 1994 Page 1 b. Refurbishing of Airline and Car Rental Ticket Counters Ernst reported that the information was in his Manager's Report. Three bids were received and Se'Ana Cabinets bid of $17,700.00 was selected. c. Aviation Planning Services RFP Ernst reported that 6 RFPs were received by the City. A committee made up of Joel Kopp, Rachel Clark, Jack La Shot and Ernst will review the RFPs and choose a consultant for the project. 6. NEW BUSINESS Tom Thibodeau noted there were no items listed but he wished to bring up ideas on what the Commission should be doing. He felt the Commission should be making recommendations on how they would like to see the airport grow and develop. Thibodeau felt the airport should actively compete for freight traffic with Anchorage and Fairbanks. He felt Kenai's airport could facilitate cargo planes and would be conducive to this type of activity. Also a cargo facility would greatly benefit the community. Kenai has ready access to jet fuel, there are no mountains to impact approaches, and a radar facility is located in Kenai, so air traffic could be easily handled. Randy Ernst said this would be something that could be considered in the Airport Master Plan. The runway would need to be revamped and expanded. AIP funds would be hard to obtain but may be available if a company would make a committment to such a project. Ernst said the airport had attempted to bring cargo into the area but than you need a custom agent, etc. Ray Measles noted there's a lot of behind the scenes support that international cargo companies need. Ernst said one of the approaches the City has considered is being a maintenance facility for the cargo companies. Thibodeau believed that Anchorage is nearing capacity, and the quality of life is not as good as the Peninsula. He felt that pilots and staff would enjoy a higher quality of life in Kenai, which is what employers are seeking for their employees. Ray Measles agreed the airport is one of Kenai's biggest assets. He recommended that the Economic Development District be contacted to discuss the possibility of seeking cargo facilities in Kenai. Airport Commission December 1, 1994 Page 2 Tom Thibodeau said he would contact the EDD to get ideas on how to pursue the possibility of cargo facilities at the airport. 7. AIRPORT MANAGER'S REPORT Randy Ernst noted the Airport projects that are pending which are: Selection of Consultant for Master Plan and Master Plan (AIP), six bids have been received the selection process will begin as soon as possible. Sander /plow truck (AIP), bids were received for this last year, but the low bid was not selected because it did not meet the bid specifications. Airport terminal carpeting (Airport funded), bids for recarpeting the terminal will be requested after the first of the year. The carpet should be installed in time for the next tourist season. CAP Taxiway Project (Airport funded), Council has given concurrence to receive an engineer's estimate for this project. 8. COMMISSION COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS Randy Ernst welcomed Barbara Edwards to the Commission. Tom Thibodeau invited Barbara to introduce herself to the Commission and asked the other Commissioners to introduce themselves. Barabara Edwards said she was the Station Manager for Mark Air and was happy to be in the Kenai area. The Commissioners introduced themselves and welcomed Barabara to the Commission. 9.

Cone /Cunningham Property - Letter from State of Alaska, DNR, 11/17/94 Keith Kornelius stated that according to a letter received from the Department of Natural Resources, the Cone property has been rejected. The Cunningham property is still under consideration, but could possibly be cut at a later date. The City is hoping to acquire three additional lots. b. Bluff Erosion - Memo from Alan C. Jeffries, 11/08/94, and Letter from Carl E. Borash, 12/02/94 Keith Kornelius discussed letters from Corps of Engineers after Alan Jeffries inspection visit. The Corps suggested the city of Kenai relocate the water and sewer facilities and possibly placing riprap along the bluff. Tommy Thompson asked about the TAMS report. Keith stated the TAMS report was sent to the Corps. Tommy also asked about the recommendation to place riprap. Keith stated it would only be a temporary solution. The higher tides would still go over it. Jim Bookey asked about how the Commission felt about dredging of the mouth of the river. Keith suggested setting up a meeting with Fisheries. Mike McCune brought up discussion of a new dredging system. He offered to attempt to get more information. Mike McCune asked if there had been a cost study done on sheet piling. Keith responded that it had been done, but was cost prohibitive. Discussion centered on having Jim Bookey approach Council for direction on the possibility of dredging.

Capital Improvements Project (CIP) List Will Jahrig brought up the possibility of building a ramp to be designated for commercial use near the existing dock. Keith Kornelius agreed for the need for another dock, but doubted the feasibility of designating it for commercial use only. Will Jahrig suggested moving the existing storage buildings and constructing new ones by the grid. Keith Kornelius stated the existing ones had been resurfaced and are now in better condition. Will Jahrig suggested purchasing new floats. Keith Kornelius mentioned there was need for a new pump since the old one was broken. 8. COMMISSIONER COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS Tommy Thompson announced he would be on vacation next meeting. Jim Bookey stated there would be a work session on the Kenai River overlay on Wednesday night and asked if any of the commission members would want to attend. Discussion centered around what the possible implications would be. Commission concensus was that they would support 50' beyond the high water mark, and suggested it be handled by the City of Kenai. Will Jahrig stated he would try to attend the meeting. 9. ADJOURNMENT MOTION MOTION WAS MADE BY TOMMY THOMPSON, SECONDED BY JEANNIE MUNN TO ADJOURN AT 8:25 P.M.

There were no public comments. Councilwoman Monfor stated she did not feel the resolution /discussion was publicized enough and was concerned it may be seen as favoring one user group. However, Monfor added she did not disagree with the resolution. Councilwoman Swarner asked when the sale date was scheduled. Williams answered after 1996. The final findings will be out in June, 1996. DNR has requested comments be submitted prior to March. There will be a lot of discussion before the sale is completed. This will be a large lease, encompassing 750,000 acres. Smalley stated he agreed with Councilwoman Monfor. He was unsure of what the potential impact would be to the area and other user groups. Smalley referred to the fourth "whereas" wherein it states, "...Council does not see any substantial negative effects..." Williams stated the oil and gas industry has operated in the Cook Inlet for many years. This technology is thirty years better than what it was in the beginning. There has been no impact on the Inlet in years past. Commercial fishing has been better than thirty years ago.

STUDENT COUNCIL ACTION: MOTION: Student Councilman Kernan MOVED to approve Resolution No. 94 -77 and Student Councilman Howell SECONDED the motion. There were no public comments. Student Councilman Conkling stated he recently visited the airport and looked at the counters. After this review of the situation, he found no need to refurbish the counters. Student Councilwoman McBee agreed. STUDENT VOTE: McBee: No Barnes: No Cox: Yes Howell: Yes Kernan: Yes Conkling: No Rozak: Yes MOTION PASSED. COUNCIL ACTION: MOTION: Councilwoman Monfor MOVED for approval of Resolution No. 97 -77 and Councilman Bookey SECONDED the motion. There were no public comments. Councilwoman Swarner asked Finance Director Brown if all the leaseholders at the airport were current in their payments. Swarner asked if the City was refurbishing counters, etc. for someone owing the city money. Brown answered to his knowledge all were up to date in payments, etc. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 7, 1994 PAGE 7 Councilman Smalley asked why the counters needed to be refurbished. Airport Manager Ernst stated there were several areas needing refurbished. Some of the lamination is off where the luggage is brought in. This will be replaced with stainless steel. Aluminum is buckling at the airline counters and the kick plates are being peeled back. The counter edges will be replaced with oak around the edges at the top and at the kick plate as well. The counters at the north end of the building all need new lamination as it is coming off. The car rental agency counters and kick plates will be stainless steel and oak molding. Councilwoman Monfor stated she was in favor of the refurbishing as the airport is many times, the first place tourists see in Kenai. The airport needs to speak well of the city. Also, the costs will be paid for with airport funds. Bookey asked if the work was put to public bid. Ernst answered yes. He hand - carried bid specifications to four local cabinet makers. Three of the four bid on the project. It was planned to do the cabinet work prior to the re- carpeting. VOTE: Councilman Smalley requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. C -5. Resolution No. 94 -78 - Awarding the Bid for Refurbishing the Airline and Car Rental Counters at Kenai Municipal Airport to Se'Ana Cabinets for a Lump Sum Amount of $17,700.00. STUDENT ACTION: MOTION: Student Councilman Kernan MOVED for approval of Resolution No. 94 -78 and Student Councilman Conkling SECONDED the motion. There were no public comments. Councilman Conkling asked if there was a representative of Se'Ana Cabinets present at the meeting. The answer was no. Conkling asked how Se'Ana Cabinets could do the restoration work for $10,000 less than the next lowest bidder. Conkling added he believed the bidder may have underestimated the amount of work and his cost to do the work. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 7, 1994 PAGE 8 Student Airport Manager Strother stated Se'Ana Cabinets submitted a bid for $17,700. Se'Ana has done work for the city before and has done a good job. Strother added he has no reason to believe Se'Ana Cabinet cannot do what they say for the price bid. Student Councilwoman McBee questioned the cost to do the work. McBee added she did not think it should be that expensive to do the work. Strother explained because the bid included labor and supplies cost, i.e. stainless steel, etc. Student Councilman Barnes asked why the bid was $10,000 less. Airport Manager Ernst stated it was a competitive bid. This is the price the bidder said he could do the work for and if he fails to complete the work for that price, it would cost him more in the end. STUDENT VOTE: McBee: No Barnes: No Cox: No Howell: Yes Kernan: No Conkling: Yes Rozak: Yes MOTION FAILED.

Councilman Smalley referred to a letter received and included in the last packet from Judith Bittner accepting the resume of one person who lives outside the City and is not a member of the Board. Smalley asked if that person's acceptance was in a consulting capacity. Answer was yes. Smalley stated he had no objection to the person being involved as ad hoc member. Councilman Bannock objected to the resolution. Bannock stated he objected to the City having to match the grant in the amount of $10,000. Bannock stated he was not prepared to put $10,000 into the project. VOTE: Smalley: Yes Swarner: Yes Bannock: No MOTION PASSED.

Howell stated the Animal Control Officer does more than pick up stray cats and dogs. The Shelter is very busy. Howell added a new shelter is needed because the present facility is overstocked with animals, and needing structural repairs. Howell stated he enjoyed the day. Mayor Williams asked if Howell would lobby for a new shelter at the state level. Howell stated he would. f. Kevin Cox - Cox stated he acted as the Student Librarian for the day as well. Cox added he toured the library facility and learned a lot about how the library runs, the computers' use, how to order books, etc. Cox stated a library addition is needed to further update the facility. Cox also stated he discussed old cars with the Librarian. Councilwoman Swarner noted Mr. Cox would be a good candidate to lobby for an ice rink. Cox stated the City should investigate the building of an ice rink. Ice time is very hard to get and is very costly. The lack of ice time prohibits kids from other areas to get involved in the sport.

KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 7, 1994 PAGE 14 G -3. Discussion - Snow Removal Policy. (This discussion was moved to this position on the agenda at the beginning of the meeting in order to have the students discuss the item as well as the City Council.) Public Comment: David Segura - 1120 First Street, Kenai. Segura stated he is young enough to shovel snow and does for himself and elderly neighbors and relatives. Sometimes the berms are too deep to shovel. Segura asked what the City intended to do to help the elders. Student Councilman Conkling stated there are several different ways to solve the problem. He has friends he helps. A solution needs to be found: whether snow berm removal is wanted or not. Conkling suggested a system be developed to mark driveways of those persons wanting berm removal and those not wanting it. Conkling added he believed the berm removal should be contracted out. Conkling stated he realizes it is the middle of winter and it may be difficult to find a contractor at this time, but the city should try. Student Councilwoman McBee stated she agreed with Mr. Segura. Persons need to be identified who need the services. Student Councilman Cox stated one way to remove the berms is to place gates on the graders. He discussed this matter with Public Works Director Kornelis and learned when there is too much snow, the gates won't work because the snow clutters up the plows and renders them useless. Cox suggested an alternate solution be found. Student City Attorney Salvador stated her concern that people like Mr. Segura may not have the time to do three driveways. Salvador added she believed the community's health and concerns are more important than cost involved. Student Councilwoman McBee stated she supported driveway clearing for the elderly but not for others. Others can clear their driveways more easily. Student Councilman Kernan referred to the goal information included in the packet and asked Kornelis what the difference was between five inches of snow or six inches. Kornelis answered the KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 7, 1994 PAGE 15 goal would be to remove the berms within 48 hours or less after the end of the snowfall. Kernan asked if the berms would not be removed if there was only five inches of snow. Kornelis answered no, if there was five inches of snow, the berms would still be removed. Kernan asked if it did not matter how much snow fell, the berms would still be removed. Kornelis answered yes. Student Councilwoman McBee stated she understood the information to say if there was less than six inches of snow, the berms would not be removed. There is not much difference between five and six inches of snow. McBee felt the berms should be removed all the time. Student Public Works Director Broderson stated when six inches or more snow falls, that is when the berms would be removed within 48 hours. If less than six inches of snow falls, the berms would not be removed from the driveways. Kernan stated he did not think that was fair. Kernan suggested the amount of snow should not be set. Any amount of a berm to shovel is still hard for the elderly. Conkling agreed with Kernan and stated the berms should be removed after all snow falls. Student Councilman Conkling asked what amount of time does using the gate take. Kornelis stated it takes a lot more time than just grading. Student Councilman Cox asked how much snow has to fall before the roads are plowed. Kornelis answered three inches. Cox stated if enough snow falls to impair driving and the roads are plowed, then the berms should be removed at that same time. McBee agreed. STUDENT MOTION: Student Councilman Cox MOVED to change the goal of Item G -3 from six inches to whenever it is appropriate to plow, the berms are removed. MOTION DIED FOR LACK OF SECOND. STUDENT MOTION: Student Councilwoman McBee MOVED to direct Administration to make the removal of berms consistent with the plowing program of the KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 7, 1994 PAGE 16 city. (Every time the roads are plowed, the berms will be removed.) Student Councilman Kernan SECONDED the motion. STUDENT VOTE: McBee: Yes Barnes: Yes Cox: Yes Howell: Yes Kernan: Yes Conkling: Yes Rozak: No MOTION PASSED. ITEM E: STUDENT MEETING ADJOURNMENT MOTION: Student Councilman Cox MOVED to adjourn the student portion of the council meeting and Student Councilman Barnes SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. The student portion of the meeting ended at approximately 8:07 p.m. BREAK TAKEN: 8:07 P.M. BACK TO ORDER: 8:20 P.M. It was noted Councilman Measles arrived at approximately 8:15 p.m. MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED to ratify actions of the student government council and Councilman Bookey SECONDED the motion. Williams asked if that included taking into consideration the actions of the regular council. Smalley stated that was understood. VOTE: Councilman Smalley requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 7, 1994 PAGE 17 CONTINUATION OF G -3 BY KENAI CITY COUNCIL. Monfor stated she did not know if the issue could be solved at this meeting. It is an overwhelming and all- encompassing problem. For discussion, Monfor asked if this item should be reviewed at a work session. Also, as the students discussed, not everyone wants to be un- bermed. Monfor suggested the City have citizens sign up for berm removal at city hall, charge a fee (to be determined), bill them (maybe on the water /sewer bill) and contract out the work. Like her family, many people contract out their snow removal and it is done many times after the city plows have gone through, etc. Many people have their own snowblowers or persons who can shovel the berms. Part of the healthy communities project is to ban together as a community and help each other out. This is something neighborhoods could do -- figure out a fee and have the young people do the shoveling. Monfor added she believes it is a problem, but not necessarily a problem to everyone. The City cannot always be the forerunner of doing everything. Sometimes the people need to take the initiative to help ourselves and our neighbors. Monfor stated there are always exceptions (elderly, frail, handicapped, ailing, etc.), but there are other ways than spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on blowers, front -end loaders, blades, and gates. Monfor requested the Council consider other avenues besides those that cost so much money. Monfor stated she received telephone calls prior to the meeting who said it would all right for them to be assessed for the cost of the snow removal. Williams reported he just returned from Minneapolis where they have lots of snow. He saw an advertisement on the TV that reminded residents they had 24 hours in which to shovel out their driveways or they would be fined. Williams referred to Goal No. 2 of the information included in the packet. That goal requested the purchase of three snow buckets, etc. These front end loaders could have other uses (removing snow from around fire plugs, adding forks for summer use, etc.) Three front end loaders could be an asset. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 7, 1994 PAGE 18 Kornelis reported to Council he investigated prices for the purchase of loaders, but it would be three to four months before they would be delivered. Loaders could also be rented. The loader he recommended is much larger and more powerful and could be rented for approximately $3,500 each per month. Williams suggested renting for a few months and if this system works, then they could purchase the machines. Williams added he did not want to spend a lot of money without trying it first. Swarner asked if Goal No. 2 meant that the berms would be removed from all streets in 48 hours. Kornelis explained it was a two - part goal: The first goal was to complete the plowing of streets within 24 hours of the end of the snowfall. The second goal was to remove berms within 48 hours of the end of the snowfall. Swarner stated she did not believe the problem would be solved as it still would be 30 hours before the berms would be removed. Ambulances, etc. may need to be able to enter driveways, etc. Kornelis explained they would use loaders to follow after the graders and remove the berms. However, they have one loader. They would need more loaders to follow behind all the graders. They would need 48 hours for one loader to clear the driveways. Kornelis added a loader would be able to handle wet snow berms as well. Kornelis also stated the six inch amount of snowfall was an arbitrary amount that he and Manninen and Graves discussed. Williams stated there are more than 1,000 driveways in the city. Williams estimated it would take approximately five minutes to clear one driveway. It would take a minimum of 28 hours to clear all the driveways if nothing goes wrong. 48 hours for removal of berms is not beyond comprehension. Bannock stated this is what he wanted to see when he made his motion at the last meeting. It is a time factor. It is a moot point to discuss what method and equipment is needed before they decide whether the city is responsible for the berms in the driveways. The council has to accept that fact. First a policy needs to be adopted to get the work done. Bannock continued that after a policy is adopted, then council would instruct Kornelis to carry out the policy. If it takes longer, council can tell the citizens it will take longer. Bannock restated, council needs to decide if it is a city problem. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 7, 1994 PAGE 19 Williams stated that even if they adopt a policy to remove the berms within 24 hours, he was not ready to pay $250,000 in order to do it. Williams stated he believed the snow berms were a problem, collectively, but not just the city's problem. Swarner asked about the state maintained roads. Kornelis stated when they wrote the goals, they did not mean to include the state roads. Measles stated the city cannot remove berms in everyone else's driveways except those living along state maintained roads. Monfor agreed it would be discriminatory. Williams stated he could accept the responsibility to clear the driveways when they have the opportunity but could not accept the responsibility to clear driveways at 7:30 a.m. Monfor asked what would happen to the percentage of people who have snow blowers or contract out to have their driveways cleared. Those people would not get the same service. Whatever is done, it has to be equitable for everyone. A policy of this sort is not equitable for all. Bookey stated he agreed with Monfor. Bookey added at the last meeting, council discussed purchasing more equipment, etc. Gates could be put on three graders for about $15,000. With them, they could still maintain the roads and driveways. Leasing loaders on a four -month lease would cost $42,000. Bookey stated trying the gates would cost less than $20,000. Williams stated he did not think the gates would work with the amount of snow that has fallen. Bookey stated he believes it is a problem with an Administration that does not want to use the gates. Bookey added he did not know why. If the gates do not work, it would not be a large expense lost. Williams stated it was a question of logistics, i.e. streets and driveways could not be done at the same time. The streets need to be plowed first and then the driveways. It will take a week to do the work. Bookey stated it boiled down to time and money. The majority of the people are willing to wait to get the roads plowed. Williams disagreed. Bookey stated if the road is not plowed, there is no berm. People will wait. Bookey added he had talked to approximately 50 people about this. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 7, 1994 PAGE 20 Williams stated he would be willing to buy one gate as a test. They could find out collectively the costs (including repairs, etc.) in using that gate. Williams added there is still the question of whether the gates would work in the city. Smalley stated he thought it would be a good idea to try a gate, however he wanted the grader with the gate to be used in all parts of the city. This would give a clear picture of the capabilities of the gate. Bookey stated for $10,000 the city could purchase three gates and go three directions at one time. Kornelis stated he was told in discussions with people from Anchorage using gates takes more time and they don't work. It takes them five days to do their roads. If gates on put on the graders it will take a lot more time. Kornelis stated he believed there will be streets that will become impassable if they are not plowed. Kornelis added he did not think the gates would work, but was willing to try them. Bannock stated even with gates on the graders, there will be calls from citizens unhappy because of the snow. However, Administration will be able to say they are using gates and making the effort to remove the berms so please bear with us. There have been many projects in the city that citizens did not like, i.e. water /sewer to Thompson Park, street paving, etc. However, the projects are done and the people are paying for it. Bannock stated council needed to get back to the policy. MOTION: Councilman Bookey MOVED to purchase three gates and have them installed and on the graders in the next two weeks. Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion. Williams stated he would approve one grader as a test. Bookey stated he wanted to maintain his motion to purchase three. Whether the cost of the gates would entail approval of a transfer of money by a telephone poll was discussed. Finance Director Brown stated if one is needed they would handle it. Graves stated they may run into bidding problems. Bookey stated the gates cost approximately $2,700 each. Bookey added it would take approximately two days with two people working to install the gates. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 7, 1994 PAGE 21 VOTE: Councilwoman Monfor called for the question. Smalley: Yes Swarner: Yes Bannock: Yes MOTION PASSED. Williams: No Monfor: Yes Bookey: Yes Measles: No Williams stated council approved the purchase of three gates and have them installed within two weeks. Williams also requested Administration report back to council as to the effectiveness of the gates and the time element in using them. ITEM D: COMMISSION /COMMITTEE REPORTS D -1. Council on Aging Councilwoman Swarner thanked the Senior Connection for the appreciation dinner held on November 28 and the poinsettia. Swarner also reported the Senior Center received an evaluation for FY94 from the Older Alaskans Commission. The evaluation was outstanding. D -2. Airport Commission Councilman Measles reported the Commission would meet again on December 8. D -3. Harbor Commission Councilman Bookey reported the Commission would meet again on December 12. D -4. Library Commission Councilwoman Monfor reported the Commission met last night. They are working on their goals and objectives for the coming year. Their next meeting will be January 3, 1995. Monfor also reminded everyone of the Library Open House scheduled for Thursday, December 15 from 4:00 -7:00 p.m. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 7, 1994 PAGE 22 D -5. Parks & Recreation Commission Councilman Bannock reported there was no meeting because there was no quorum. Bannock added he understood members were stuck in the snow. D -6. Planning & Zoning Commission Councilman Smalley reported there was no meeting since the last council meeting. The Commission will be meeting in a joint work session with Council prior to their next meeting on December 14. Smalley added a packet of information for the work session was distributed to Council at the beginning of the meeting. Smalley asked Council to bring that packet with them to the work session. D -7. Miscellaneous Commissions and Committees Councilwoman Swarner reported the Beautification Committee had no meeting in November. BREAK TAKEN: 8:55 P.M. BACK TO ORDER: 9:12 P.M. ITEM E: MINUTES E -1. Regular Meeting of November 23, 1994. Approved by consent agenda. ITEM F: CORRESPONDENCE None. ITEM G: OLD BUSINESS G -1. Resolution No. 94 -70 - Transferring $4,903 in the General Fund for Compensation to the Acting City Manager. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 7, 1994 PAGE 23 MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED to remove Resolution No. 94 -70 from the table and Councilman Bannock SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. 80 ORDERED. Councilwoman Swarner stated she still was not satisfied with paying for an acting city manager when the city manager was gone for only one day. Swarner added if the city manager is within telephone range, and in the state, she saw no need for an acting city manager for one or two days. Smalley stated there are those times (when the manager is gone one or two days) when a document needs to be signed or approved which requires someone in an acting capacity to sign the document. If the person is doing the job, that person should be paid for doing it. Swarner referred to information forwarded to council by Kim Howard, who has been assigned the acting city manager position for when the city manager is out of the office for one or more days. Swarner stated she reviewed the information (a listing of matters Howard attended to in the city manager's absence) and felt there were some of the days where she did not see there was an emergency and there was no need to have an acting city manager. Williams stated it was not a case of emergency when an acting city manager is needed. Williams thanked Howard for the report and stated it pointed out that it is a very responsible position within the city administration. City Manager Manninen stated most of the days he had been out of town it was at the council's direction. Swarner stated she understood that. Swarner pointed out that on April 1 the acting city manager signed a travel voucher for the city attorney, an ordinance and personnel transaction. Williams stated some things perhaps could be held until the city manager returns, but some things cannot wait. Williams added the $100 a day pay for the acting city manager may seem like too much. However, for that money, the person takes the blame for wrong decisions and the glory for the correct decisions and should be compensated for the ability to make the decisions. The City is paying the acting city manager for good experience and judgement on behalf of the city. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 7, 1994 PAGE 24 Manninen stated it is not always known what will be coming up. but someone needs to have the responsibility and should be compensated for it. Manninen added the question of whether $100 a day is enough or too much is for council to determine. Manninen also stated he believed the person doing the job is worth it. There have been several times where significant decisions have been made, i.e. dismissals, etc. Everything was done fine and he felt comfortable with the decisions made. Because of the acting position, he does not have a large amount of work to deal with upon his return. Manninen stated if Council believes he is gone too often or too long, they need to tell him so. Williams reminded Council when they discussed hiring the city manager they asked him how he felt about traveling. Council felt that the city manager should be doing a lot of traveling. Williams suggested Council should discuss the possibility of having a full -time assistant city manager more closely. This discussion tonight adds credibility to the question of hiring an assistant city manager. Councilman Smalley agreed and requested the discussion be brought to council during budget sessions. The discussion should also include the possibility of the position having personnel and purchasing responsibilities. Councilman Bannock stated he supported the resolution. The person taking on the extra work should be compensated for it. However, Bannock questioned the amount of extra pay stating there are those who do not make that much money in a day. Bannock added he would like to move on with this discussion as it has been ongoing. There should be an amount paid and it should be paid automatically. Councilman Measles stated his concern was there is no formal policy in place, i.e. some acting department heads get paid extra after ten days, etc. Attorney Graves stated there is a portion of the code that states the ten -day period does not apply to the city manager. Measles stated a set policy needs to be in the code for this purpose. Graves said he did not disagree, but wanted to point out the payment has not been against the code. Councilwoman Monfor brought up the question of whether the acting city manager, if it is not an exempt person in that position, does that person become exempt while the acting city manager. This is why she felt the position fell under an acting position KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 7, 1994 PAGE 25 in the code. Monfor suggested payment should be as it has been for the remainder of this budget and develop a policy for the new budget and include it in the code. Also there is a question of when and if they hire an assistant city manager, is that position hired by the city manager or by council and is that position exempt. Monfor added she would like this discussed at budget time as well. Williams stated a directive to Administration to prepare an amendment to the ordinance to deal specifically with the acting city manager position and return it to council at budget time. Williams asked if Council wanted to continue with the present budget policy for the remainder of this budget cycle. Councilman Smalley stated he would like to support that concept. Smalley referred to February, 1994 minutes where this item had been discussed. Smalley stated he sees the acting position different than an exempt position. Again, if the person is doing the work as the acting city manager, the person should be compensated for the job done. Monfor stated she did not think there was a problem with the amount of extra pay. However, the policy needs to be reviewed closely. Monfor stated as an example, if the acting city manager makes a major mistake, who comes back to reprimand the worker. Is the acting city manager a council employee or city manager's employee? Williams also asked does the acting city manager become the council's employee. This is something that needs to be addressed. Manninen posed another scenario, i.e. would someone risk their job to be the acting city manager for an extra $100 a day. VOTE: Councilwoman Monfor called for the question and requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. G -2. Discussion - Machinery Exhibit Building. Williams stated this item had been moved to this agenda from the last meeting. An estimation of costs to build a pad with a roof was included in the packet. Williams stated the donkey engine and old cannery equipment had been stored. Williams would like to develop a place to permanently house the equipment. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 7, 1994 PAGE 26 Williams added he would like to have a concrete pad with shelter to house the equipment making it a static outdoor display behind the old city hall. The display would become part of the walking tour of Old Town. Williams stated he has a commitment for volunteer labor to do the work. Public Works' estimate for materials was $12,000- 15,000. Councilman Bookey reminded Council he had briefly discussed with them (at a recent meeting) the interest of the Kenai Bible Chapel to negotiate acquisition of their property (which includes the Miller house). The Chapel had suggested to him they would be interested in a land trade or purchase of the property by the city. Bookey added, because of the recent bluff erosion, there will be problems for tourists to view the mouth of the river, etc. The church properties could be used for parking space, the church could be used for a little theater, and there would be space available on which to place the static display. Bookey added he believed if the property was taken out of private ownership, it may be more viable to get funding from the Corps of Engineers for bluff protection. There are a lot of options to review and draw from. In order to acquire the property, it will be necessary for Administration to talk with the church as to the avenues available. Councilman Smalley stated he has talked with Councilman Bookey about this issue. He believed the idea has merit and thinks it is something the city should investigate. It won't cost anything to talk with the church representatives. There has been discussion about developing a large block of land in Old Town. The City owns property in Old Town, but not in one large block. Acquiring these properties may initiate the projects which have been discussed in the past for the Old Town area. Williams suggested that he and Councilman Bookey could discuss the possibility of the acquisition of these properties from the church between now and summer. Bookey stated he wanted Administration to do the negotiating. Smalley suggested the discussions would take place prior to budget time. MOTIONS Councilman Bookey MOVED that the City entertain discussions with the Kenai Bible Chapel before budget sessions this year. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 7, 1994 PAGE 27 Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. G -3. Discussion - Snow Removal Policy. Discussed after student reports. G -4. Discussion - Draft Ordinance Amending the Kenai Municipal Code to Formalize City Policy Regarding Authority of the Finance Director to Control Disbursements and Expenditures. City Attorney Graves reported he, Manninen and Brown met to discuss the draft ordinance. Graves reminded Council the draft ordinance was in response to the auditor's discussion regarding internal controls. Graves stated that much of the draft ordinance was taken from the Soldotna City Code. Graves added Manninen was concerned for potential conflicts with his power to reject the purchase of items which he deemed were not a good purchase. Graves stated Manninen felt an added "whereas" to clarify the intent of the ordinance could be added. Graves added Manninen felt with the added "whereas" it would be an appropriate accounting control and would not remove power from the city manager. Manninen stated Graves' report was an accurate representation of their discussion. The ordinance expands on the internal controls which have been in place for 15 -20 years. The controls revolve around budgeting, and not are not in conflict with the previous ordinance. Manninen added he felt comfortable with the draft ordinance and so did Brown and Graves. Manninen stated he supported the draft ordinance with the added "whereas." Brown stated the ordinance would work. The ordinance will place internal control in place that was there but was not in writing. This is a control and there is no negotiating it. The ordinance will protect the city. MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED to direct Administration to bring back the ordinance in final presentation. Councilman Bookey SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. 80 ORDERED. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 7, 1994 PAGE 28 ITEM H: NEW BUSINESS H -1. Bills to be Paid, Bills to be Ratified MOTION: Councilwoman Swarner MOVED to pay the bills over $1,000 and Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion. Brown requested to remove, in its entirety, the bill to Alaska Sales and Service. MOTION TO AMEND: Councilwoman Swarner MOVED to remove the line referring to a bill to Alaska Sales and Service. Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. 80 ORDERED. Manninen explained they have not received delivery of the vehicle yet. The bill will be returned upon delivery. VOTE ON AMENDED MOTION: There were no objections. SO ORDERED. H -2. MOTION: Purchase Orders Exceeding $1,000 Councilwoman Monfor MOVED to pay the purchase orders over $1,000 and Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion. MOTION TO AMEND: Councilman Smalley MOVED to amend the motion by adding the purchase order to Regal Interiors in the amount of $1,475.43. Councilman Bookey SECONDED the motion. Williams asked why the vinyl and carpeting needed to be replaced. Director Porter stated there was extensive damage done by a lessee at the Congregate Housing facility. Williams asked if there was a deposit to help cover the costs. Porter answered there was a deposit of $450. Porter added the funds for replacement of the vinyl and carpeting would come from the Congregate Housing Repair and Maintenance budget. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 7, 1994 PAGE 29 Councilman Smalley asked if there would be an attempt to recoup the costs of the repairs. Porter stated she was aware of this person's financial status and did not believe there would be any way to recoup the costs. VOTE ON AMENDMENT: There were no objections to the motion. 80 ORDERED. VOTE ON AMENDED MOTION: There were no objections to the motion. 80 ORDERED. H -3. Discussion - Capital Improvements List Brochure This item was added to the agenda at the beginning of the meeting. Public Works Director Kornelis requested direction from council in regard to the CIP brochure and what pictures to have included on the brochure. A copy of the draft brochure was distributed at the beginning of the meeting. Clerk Freas noted the 7794" needed to be added to the City address. Kornelis also noted "Street" should be "Avenue" in the City address. Kornelis passed around some photographs for Council review and selection. Councilwoman Monfor suggested a picture of the ladder fire truck as it was paid for with State of Alaska monies. Monfor also suggested a picture of the dock as people have not seen pictures of it. Smalley stated he really liked Councilwoman Monfor's suggestion. Smalley added he felt it was a good idea for the legislators to know what the City of Kenai has done with funding received from the State. Smalley suggested a picture of the existing Animal Control Shelter be placed on the brochure. Williams stated he agreed with having the Shelter on the brochure and added he would prefer the City use another printer. Kornelis stated the cost for the printing is under $1,000. Dean's Printing has always done the brochure. Smalley stated if they have done a good job printing the brochure, they should continue doing it. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 7, 1994 PAGE 30 MOTION: Councilwoman Monfor MOVED to approve the brochure and Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. ITEM I: ADMINISTRATION REPORTS I -1. Mayor a. Government Day - Williams thanked Council and Administration for their cooperation during Government Day. b. Russian Visitors - Williams apologized for the quick tour he gave the Russian visitors through City facilities. The guests were from Sakhalin Island and Okha and included the chairman of the legislature in Sakhalin. A very important person. The group was mainly here to talk to the Alaskan legislators. They are writing their constitution and are using the State of Alaska's constitution as a pattern. Others included in the delegation were a mayor, the Minister of External Affairs and a member of a judicial service group. They were overwhelmed by the court house, jail, etc. c. NLC Conference - Williams reported he and City Manager Manninen attended the NLC conference in Minneapolis. There has been a tremendous amount of work at both city and state levels on unfunded mandates. Williams added there will be a bill introduced in both the U.S. Senate and U.S. House in regard to unfunded mandates. Williams also reported he reviewed information for equipment to look into sewer lines without digging them up. It is a camera that can be sent through the lines. He has requested information be forwarded to the City. d. Work Session - Williams reported he would not be in attendance at the work session scheduled for December 14. Williams stated he would be out of town on personal business. e. Model Train Display - Williams stated he spoke with Mitch Dobrich, the lessee of the airport restaurant. Williams reported he and Dobrich both are model train enthusiasts and collectors. Williams suggested an area be glassed in by the oil KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 7, 1994 PAGE 31 platform display to house Dobrich's model train display. Work to put it together would be volunteer and Dobrich would donate the trains. Councilman Smalley suggested it would be better if Dobrich would put his display in the restaurant area. Measles agreed and added the display would be tempting to be vandalized in the other area. Swarner agreed and added she believed inside the restaurant would be a more appropriate area and would be safer from vandalism. Having the display in the restaurant may bring more business in as well. f. Senior Connection Dinner - Williams thanked the Senior Connection for the appreciation dinner. 1 -2. City Manager a. NLC Conference - Manninen reported he attended a pre- conference meeting regarding ethics. The presentation was designed for elected officials. The presenter also has a CD -Rom program available. Manninen reported he had a copy of the program, but was unable to load it on any of the city's computers. He also tried having a private business try to load it on their computer, but it did not work. Manninen stated he will send the program back. Manninen stated he also attended presentations on technical city applications. Such an application could be used by PTI enabling home businesses to network with InterNet, etc. Manninen stated the sewer line camera of which the mayor had already reported on, could be purchased and used by the City or by private business and contracted to the City. Additional information will be coming. Manninen added the Information Highway InterNet is all linked with PTI. Manninen stated he hopes to continue discussions with PTI in the near future. The last presentation he attended discussed the value of services and ethics available to taxpayers. I -3. Attorney No report.

City Clerk a. Telephone Poll - Freas read into the record the results of a telephone poll taken on December 6, 1994. The telephone poll was taken to request Council approval of a purchase order in the amount of $1,096.17 for parts to repair the 14 -G grader. The turbo charger need to be replaced or would cause further damage to the engine. The poll was authorized by Tom Manninen, City Manager, signed by Robin Feltman of the Finance Department, and attested by Carol L. Freas, City Clerk. The vote was taken as: Williams, yes; Measles, out of town; Bookey, yes; Smalley, yes; Swarner, no; Bannock, yes; and Monfor, yes. b.

It will be two to three weeks before a decision is rendered. d. Requested more definite direction in regard to the pictures council wanted to appear on the CIP brochure. Council consensus was to have one of the ladder fire truck for the front page and one of the dock for the inside of the brochure. I -7. Airport Manager No report. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 7, 1994 PAGE 33 ITEM J: DISCUSSION J -1. Citizens Bob Peters - Resides in Old Town. Peters referred to Councilman Bookey's discussion regarding the possible negotiation of the City acquiring the Kenai Bible Chapel and Miller House properties. Peters stated the City needs to become more serious about the erosion of the bluff before it acquires more property. Peters reminded Council that at their last meeting, Councilman Smalley talked about cost for the city to apply to the Corps of Engineers for permits, etc. to do some bluff erosion prevention work. Since then, Peters discussed the matter with Bill Nelson of Wm. J. Nelson & Associates. Nelson stated to him he would like the Council or the Mayor to talk with him about his ideas for bluff erosion prevention. Nelson stated to Peters that he could permanently take care of the problem for about $550,000. Peters stated he felt the Corps was a real bureaucracy. Peters added he thought it would be worth it for the city to talk with Nelson. Peters added the $550,000 was not a lot of money when the cost of acquiring more property, buying equipment, etc. is considered. Peters asked who would talk to Nelson about his suggestions. Williams answered City Manager Manninen would talk with Nelson about his discussions with Peters. Peters stated he thought the City should go ahead and have the work done at the City's expense, especially if it can be done for $550,000. Williams stated even if the cost for the work would be $2 -3 million, the City has no debt. There may be interest in doing a long -term debt public works project. The City has many resources available to it. Maybe the citizens could be asked to pay for it. Peters also stated he thought the City has great snow removal services. There is snow here, but it is part of living in Alaska. J -2. Council Bookey - Requested the State be notified the middle indicator traffic lights at Willow and Spur were not working KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 7, 1994 PAGE 34 properly and have not for some time. Bookey also reported there were also a number of street lights out. Kornelis stated the lights needing repair have already been called in. 'Warner - a. Wished everyone happy holidays and invited everyone to her home for an open house on December 18 from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. b. Swarner stated she did not have a problem with the printer being used for the brochure, but suggested the business be spread around. It is a good idea to check pricing, etc. Just because it has always been done one way, doesn't always mean it's the best way. Monfor - a. Reported she will not be in attendance at the next council meeting. b. Monfor suggested a meeting be set up with the Council and Representative Navarre and Senator Salo. Monfor suggested a breakfast meeting or dinner meeting. Clerk Freas stated she would contact them and find when they will be available. c. Monfor thanked Kornelis for his help in getting her car out of the berm in her driveway. It was pointed out Kornelis used his private vehicle, however some of the time was city time. Measles - No report. Bannock - a. Thanked the Senior Connection for the superb dinner. b. Bannock referred to comments made in regard to the letter Kornelis sent out to persons who have been found to have pushed snow from their property onto city streets. Bannock added he spoke with Attorney Graves during the break. Bannock stated he would like the letters continued, however, he was concerned there is no follow -up or punishment when people do it. Bannock suggested making this an offense which could be ticketed as he believed there needed to be a better way to follow -up on the situation. Especially when it happens more than one time. Williams stated he did not want Administration sending out any letters on that ordinance because the City has enough problems and the citizens already have enough problems with snow this winter. Williams was concerned it would only make more enemies. Bannock disagreed. Swarner stated she believed letters needed to continue if the action of pushing snow into the street creates a traffic hazard. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 7, 1994 PAGE 35 What if the action causes an accident. Swarner also noted there are a lot of blind corners. Williams stated we will have to cope with the problem. Kornelis asked for direction in regard to sending the letter or not. Kornelis stated he sent a letter to the Townhouse apartments on Forest Drive and they had the snow pushed way back to make more room. Kornelis stated if there is an objection from council to send the letters, he won't send them. However, pushing snow into the streets does create problems. Williams stated if there is a blatant disregard of the law, then send a letter. Smalley agreed if there is a blatant disregard, a letter should be sent. Bannock asked why waste the postage costs if there is no follow -up to the situation if it continues. Smalley - a. Thanked the seniors for the dinner. Smalley added he left his poinsettia there and would like to donate it to the Center. b. Smalley reported he has a "Kenaiopoly" game for the City. Kenai's block is the courthouse and players get cards that tell them to go to court. c. Smalley reported he has received many calls thanking the city for the plowing of streets. Smalley added he passed this information on to some of the workers who were present earlier in the meeting as they don't always hear the thank -yous. Williams - Williams referred to applications for the Personnel Arbitration Panel for Richard Ross and Robert Seymour which were included in the packet. Williams requested council approval to appoint them to the panel. There were no objections.

COO N cic e/Seass'o' /a /a, /9Y As discussed with you and Pat Porter, we have prepared an Architectural proposal for the referenced work. It is our understanding that the intent is to add a solarium of similar construction to the existing sloped glazing extending between the Senior Center and Congregate Housing buildings. The solarium is to extend towards the bluff side approximately ten feet. The storage room addition is to be added to the existing free standing storage building, extending the length by approximately twelve feet and matching existing construction. Our opinion is that the simplistic nature of this work does not constitute an elaborate set of bid documents. We propose to prepare a builder's set of documents for this work, that provides details with general notes on the drawings. A separate technical specification is not included in our fee. We propose to provide the outlined services for a lump sum fee of $5,000. The above quote assumes the cost of printing shall be billed as a reimbursable item. Please do not hesitate to call if you have any questions or need additional information. Thank you for the opportunity to propose on this work.

Please read the enclosed Ord. #1612 -94. That ordinance simply moves unspent money from the FAA Road capital project to the Congregate Housing capital project. Both projects were financed with this grant. Legislative auditors were aware that the FAA Road, the road providing access to the housing complex, was constructed with this grant. They mentioned it in their recent audit report, and found it acceptable. About $190,000 of unencumbered balances remain. See the priority list of how we expect to spend that money. The only item on the list that has been authorized is the architectural design for an addition ($15,330). However, we have not signed the contract yet. We want to give you a chance to review all these purchases for grant eligibility before we make the purchases. If you have any problems with these purchases, or need further information, let me know.

You asked for information about any money remaining in the Congregate Housing capital projects. Both the Congregate Housing capital project and the FAA Road capital project were financed totally with State of Alaska legislative grants. The last remaining grant includes a purpose as follows: "Construct a congregate housing facility. The project may include administration, design, inspection, building construction, and related costs such as site development, parking facilities, and facility furnishings." As of today, the following are unspent and unencumbered balances: Congregate Housing $100,750 FAA Road 75,511 Unencumbered 176,261 Add open purchase orders to Livingston /Slone (not expected to be paid) 14,141 Total Available $190,402 The above amount available has not been reduced by certain purchases currently being contemplated for which no purchase orders have been issued, such as window replacements or more artwork. If there is a plan to use these funds to design an addition to the Congregate Housing Facility, I suggest you request authorization in advance from the State; the grant says the purpose is to construct "a" facility. 11111! 1992 CITY OF SEWARD P.O.

The reports I have received from the Seward delegation indicate that some initial steps have been made towards the creation of boroughwide municipal coalition to address areas of mutual concern and benefit. Despite the bleak outlook for a state capital budget, the Peninsula is in a unique position this legislative session to fare better than average with state lawmakers. If we work together to lobby for those issues which will benefit the Peninsula. our combined force. along with the clout wielded by our delegation in Juneau. should prove successful. In addition. there are several issues in each of our communities that may benefit from our mutual cooperation or from a boroughwide perspective. To that end, I would like to invite you, along with your municipality's other elected and appointed officials, to attend the first of what I hope will be a series of Kenai Peninsula Borough Coalition meetings at the Borough Building in Soldotna on Thursday. January 19. 1995. beginning at 10:00 a.m. This will be an all day meeting. Lunch will be provided by the City of Seward. I will be mailing an agenda to each participant early in January. Please forward your suggested agenda topics along with a list of probable attendees from your area to Seward City Clerk Linda Murphy at the above address, or fax to 224 -3248. no later than January 6th.

Local Heroes Public Finance Chiefs Are Often Very Boring; That's the Good News Many Resisted the Pressure To Become Big Shots With Risky Investments How to Spell 'Derivative' A WALL STREET Jounwa. News Roundup Charles Cox, finance director of Farm- ers Branch, Texas. a Dallas suburb of 24,000, says his office has been deluged in the past year or so with derivatives ped- dlers trying to get a portion of the town's 550 million portfolio. Mr. Cox hasn't given them a penny under a personal rule that says: "If I don't understand it and I don't know how it works, I'm not going to invest in it." Agrees David Bro®ner, chief executive officer of the Retirement Systems of Ala- bama, that state's pension fund: "There's no incentive for someone like me to take that kind of risk. It didn't make any sense. Why should I invest in something I can't even spell?" - Derivatives have had their ups and downs on Wall Street. But a larger question The Financial Fallout There was more confusion than answers as cities and agencies that have their money tied up in the Orange County's $7.5 billion investment fund worried about everything from be- ing able to pay em- ployees to the future of major construction projects.

ORANGE COUNTY CRISIS is: Do they threaten to flatten Main Street? The question is pertinent now that Orange County, Calif., has filed for bankruptcy protection after huge losses in risky invest- ments, including derivatives. The answer, based upon a broad, infor- mal survey of government finance direc- tors and their trade associations, is proba- bly not. Like Farmers Branch and Ala- bama's pension plan. most city. state and regional governments seem to have ducked the derivatives frenzy, sticking to tried and true conservative investments like Treasury bills and other U.S. govern- ment securities. And where they have made derivative investments, those invest- ments tend to be more of the "plain vanilla" types that are comparatively safer than the more exotic types that cost Orange County so dearly. Also, most government finance direc- tors stay away from the massive leverage used by the Orange County fund manager: by borrowing huge sums. he made his successful bets more successful while his losing bets became disasters. That's not to say there won't be a few more Orange Countys. The sales pressure from Wall Street —not to mention the pressure in some localities to maximize investment returns as an alternative to new taxes — has been enormous over the past two years. Toss that together with municipal money managers who tend to understand derivatives' potential better than the risk, and you have trouble. Pressure to Regulate R.K. Johnson, senior vice president of the municipal bond department at Ray- mond James in St. Petersburg, Fia., says his firm is working with four Florida municipalities that own derivatives to "ex- tricate them." lie won't name the cities, but he says their exposure is "far less" than that of Orange County. And while not talking directly about his clients, Mr. Johnson adds: "It's highly likely many Iderivatives] buyers were sold on using derivatives without understanding the risks.., Indeed, the Orange County debacle, and those yet to unfold. will "absolutely" increase pressure to tighten regulation in the business of investing trillions of tax- payers dollars by state and local govern- ments, says Robert Boyden Lamb, profes- sor of finance and management at New York University's Stern School of Busi- ness. "It's a watershed event in terms of monitoring derivative -risk exposure [and] raises important questions about munici- pal oversight." he says. Derivatives in simple form are finan- cial agreements whose values depend upon, or are derived from, some underly- ing financial asset, such as stocks or bonds. They are but the latest — if costli- est — in a long history of finance wrinkles that tempt public treasuries into invest- ments that managers and taxpayers later regret. In the 1980s. many municipalities got burned when they invested in exotic forms of government zero- coupon bonds that proved highly volatile on interest rate swings. Many unsophisticated city money managers understood the upside potential of these zero-coupon "strips" — but not the risks. Like the risky financial instruments before them, leveraged derivatives and other exotic instruments raise a central question: Why would any prudent, civic - minded public money manager even con- sider buying them in the first place? For one thing, derivatives aren't inher- Please Turn to Page A10, Column 4 4 .. ....y ., w. _ ,: ; .. -ter, - �caL:Neroes Finance Chiefs Are Often Boring; - g That's •Good News in Light of Orange County Woes r- Contrnued From First Page ently-risky when used, for example, as a simple hedge to protect a municipality's portfolio against other investment losses. Another: the hire of quick and huge invest- ment gains that turn a finance director into a local hero because such gains help local politicians keep taxes down. Professor Iamb predicts- that the next derivative shoe to fall will likely be some other California municipality that has used that state's "more permissive" investment laws to get into risky investments "out of a - need to make up for lost tax revenues." While numerous states, North Carolina and Georgia among them, have laws that • restrict public investments to conservative instruments like government securities and top -rated corporate bonds, others are more liberal. Like California, Texas, for example, recently loosened its investment laws to allow local governments to expand their investments to include derivatives. In Alabama. Mr. Bronner says his pension plan only recently promulgated guidelines that require him to vet derivative -like investments with his pension board. But at a point last year when Wall Streeters were visiting his office trying to coax him into derivatives, he could have invested with- out asking a soul There is also peer pressure and political pressure to do so. "I remember a group outing two years. ago with the Orange County people, ", recalls Mr. Bronner. "They were very boastful about how well they were doing T_ and how antiquated I High Yields, iai f Risk Harlan Boyles, North Carolina's state treasurer, says in recent years he has been pressured by some of the state's local governments —under pressure themselves to fund more police and other services — to push for looser investment regulations there.

"I'm always asked why ouryleldsare not as'high as someother states," says Mr. Boyles. "Myresponse is that yields usually tract risk." Still, Mr. Boyles says he fields at least a dozen calls a month from brokerage houses all over the country hoping to sway his investgating the county fund's practices and disclosures, asking it to freeze the fund's assets or take other steps that would prevent Wall Street firms from selling securities that -the fund had pledged to them as l t r& for loans.

Yesterday, an addendum added more than 100 pages of details of smaller, unsecured creditors. — Richard Turner in Los Angeles contrib- uted to this article. views. "It's a constant pressure," he says "They'll call and say, 'Let us show you what we did in California.' Thankfully, our General Assembly has never been in- clined" to liberalize the investment laws, he adds. Mr. Bronner. though a man known for his ego, was at least humble enough to admit derivatives were over his head. But many aren't so humble, or lucky. Expertise varies enormously among public - finance officials, says Mr. Lamb, a consultant to many municipal and state agencies. "The municipal finance director for a state, a major city or a major public authority generally would be fairly sophisticated in finance," he says. But that stands in "sharp contrast" to finance officers of some smaller cities, towns, school districts and public authorities. "They are often out of their depth," he says. Disturbing confirmation of that came from Man McDougle, finance director of Lima, Ohio (pop. 50,000), in recent testi- mony before the House Banking Commit- tee. Speaking on behalf of the 13,000 -mem- ber Government Finance Officers Associa- tion, Mr. McDougle told the committee that a GFOA survey of its members found that only 4% said they were knowledgeable about derivatives; 20% felt they only knew the basics; 76% said they had only some or no knowledge of derivatives. Mr. McDougle went on to catalog some of the losses state and local governments have sustained because of derivative in- vestments. Eighteen Ohio municipalities have claimed losses of 114 million, he said. The Louisiana state pension fund esti- mates its losses at about 150 million. City Colleges of Chicago is seeking to recover 196 mWion, virtually its entire investment portfolio. The D Word' "I call it the D word now," Mr. McDou- gle said in an interview. Because most of the nearly 40,000 Local governments have populations of less than 10,000, they can't afford skilled investment experts to handle their funds. Moreover, sellers of these financial products "have some good sales pitches and we are a lucrative market." On the other hand, Mr. McDougle said derivatives can be useful. He has put half of Lima's investment portfolio in deriva- tives and hasn't been burned. Yet. For a long while, derivatives seemed like the place to be. Consider Escambia County, Fla., which has about 15% of its 145 million portfolio invested in derivatives, says Joseph Flowers, the comptroller. The panhandle county, population 225,- 000, first invested in derivatives in late 1992 — after fielding four or five calls a day from brokers. Escambia was raking in returns of 6% to 7% on its derivatives, while its other investments, mostly treasury notes, took in just 5.5 %. Its derivatives were all based on conservative govern- ment- agency bonds such as Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae. The county would trade them whenever it saw a chance to make a profit — as often as once or twice a week, says Mr. Flowers. It occasionally made as much as 150,000 a trade. But then, this spring, interest rates started going up, and the picture soured. Now, Escambia County's derivatives are • worth 70% of their original value, portend- ing a loss if the county sold them now. Instead, Escambia plans to hang tough, hoping to recoup its investment when interest rates come back down. "I'm fairly confident we'll get our money back over a period of time," Mr. Flowers says. He adds: "They (the brokers) just didn't fill you in on everything." Escambia has learned its lesson, he says. Now the county is investing in Trea- sury notes. Conservative Approach Still, most taxpayers can rest easy. For every Orange County or Florida city with derivative losses, scores of municipalities and other government agencies have stuck to the safe bets that have always charac- terized much municipal finance. Consider Baton Rouge, La. The city follows a very conservative investment approach largely dictated by state law, which limits investments to fully collatera- lized bank certificates of deposit and U.S. Treasury securities. Of the city's 8207 million investment pool, about 39% is in CDs. 59% is invested in government securi- ties and the balance is in interest-bearing checking accounts. "We're very conserva- tive in our approach," a city official says. McAllen, Texas, population 104,000, is similarly invested, earning a mere 3.5% annually from its 160 million portfolio, which is entirely in T -bills or Fannie Mae and Ginnie Mae securities. Mike Perez. the city manager, says city portfolio managers are instructed to un- derstand that "this is not your money. This is the public's money, and all you are is a steward of the public." Alfred Lomeli, treasurer of Contra Costa County, Calif., says he stays away from derivatives in the county's 8500 mil- lion portfolio, which includes funds from the county, public schools, junior colleges and sanitation and other special districts. For one thing, "I don't understand them all," says-Mr. Lomeli. "I don't have the staff, the equipment or the sophistication, and there's no point in leveraging a portfo- lio when there's no need." Still, Mr. Lomeli feels a certain sympa- thy for Robert Citron, the Orange County fund manager who lost his job over the county's unrealized losses, reported lo be about 51.5 billion. He knows Mr. Citron well and though he himself never followed Mr. Citron's investment philosophy, "I feel sorry. He's been the guru of the California treasurers. For about 10 years everybody loved him; now everybody's saying he made a mistake." On the other hand, says Mr. Lomeli, "My first duty is to preserve the princi- pal." Today, his portfolio yields 4.95 %. Roughly half is in government T- bills, with the biggest block in six -month T- bills. His other big investments are non - negotiable CDs, commercial paper and other conser- vative investments. "A lot of districts lin Contra Costal said, 'Gee whiz, you're not making a lot of money,' " recalls Mr. Lomeli. But "we're in business to protect the principal's safety, liquidity and yield. Yield is the very last thing; some people had a hard time believing it, but they will now, won't they ?" Mke kenwaymmiriRCONSULTING ENGINEERS, INC. L.

At the September meeting it was decided to go with the original design route which roughly parallels the existing gravel route. The reason for following the existing gravel route would be to reduce or eliminate the need for an environmental assessment and archeological investigation. The street design was revised per that meeting to include two lane traffic from Overland Avenue to the north end of Fort Kenay, and then single lane traffic with a bike lane to Alaska Avenue. A single sidewalk was also proposed on the northern side of the street. We believe the primary reason for the single lane portion of the street was to reduce the encroachment onto the day -care property across from the Russian Orthodox Church. We submitted our revised drawing to the City on October 31, 1994 with copies to Jim Childers at ADOT & PF. Since the design has changed with each public meeting we recommended that another public meeting be conducted so that we could get concurrence with the design. The revised design is attached. At the November 15, 1994 meeting of the City of Kenai Historic District Board, the Board agreed that they preferred a route behind Fort Kenay and the rectory building with one way traffic. This revised route will most likely require at least an archeological investigation which will eliminate any chances of construction in 1995. We have not revised the design at this time because a consensus has not been agreed upon. The pertinent portion of the Board's meeting minutes are attached. We have received estimates for additional surveying and electrical engineering for period lighting from Mission Street to the Visitor's Center. We have not submitted these estimates to the City because we wanted to establish the alignment and scope of the project. Based on the existing design, the additional design and surveying cost will be about $12,000. Our electrical consultant estimated that the cost per light standard will be about $4000 - $5000 installed and that they will be spaced about 80 35186 SPUR HWY SOLDOTNA, AK 99669 [907) 262 -4624 FAX 262 -5777 Mission Street Status Report December 1994 Mike Tauriainen P.E.

Letter to SHPO Regarding Archeological Survey /Mission Street Project Chairperson Gray had talked to Russell Sacket with the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO), who is the liaison between DOT and the SHPO. He suggested the Board write a letter to the SHPO and request them to assess whether an archeological study can be done in conjunction with the Mission Street Project. MOTION: ROGER MEEKS MOVED TO SEND A LETTER TO THE SHPO TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE SITE OF THE MISSION STREET PROJECT WOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR AN ARCHEOLOGICAL. STUDY. WANDA CARLSON SECONDED. DISCUSSION: Karen Mahurin expressed concern that if the SHPO determines the site is not eligible that a survey may not be done and the city would lose valuable historic artifacts. Jim Arness noted that the Board had moved at the last meeting to recommend to Council that a survey be done. Chairperson Gray said she would take Alan Boraas's statements regarding the survey from the previous meeting's minutes and incorporate them into the letter to the SHPO. VOTE: PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. c. Mission Street Project Jack La Shot introduced Henry Knackstedt who is the local engineer working on this project. Henry distributed three copies of the latest plan for the Board's review. The plan is to follow the existing road. The road is kind of curvy because a private property owner has requested the project not encroach onto her property, and it will also make the project pleasing by keeping it a downtown design. A two-way road will be coming in from Mission to Ft. Kenay, from Ft. Kenay around the Church it will be one way, toward the bluff. There will be rolled curbs on both sides and a sidewalk on the side opposite the Church. No lighting is shown but historical lighting can be considered with the help of the Board. There is presently parking areas for tour buses, and some in front of the Church. The parking has been designed to encourage foot traffic to the area. Historic District Board November 15, 1994 Page 5 James Malanaphy asked how wide the street would be. Henry Knackstedt said the street was 16' which is pretty narrow but the standard street, from the centerline to the white line is 12', but if you pave 12' on the street would be too narrow. Roger Meeks said the road is very narrow in front of the Arness office, and there's not much more room than 16' anyway. Chairperson Gray said input from the public hearings on this project seemed to want encourage foot traffic and discourage vehicular traffic. Tour buses would park near Ft. Kenay and people would walk around the area. Jim Arness said at one time there had been discussion about bringing the street behind Ft. Kenay. He wondered if the property owner had an impact on that plan being eliminated. Knackstedt said if the road was brought behind Ft. Kenay it would bring in a lot more regulations from agencies, because it is not known what is in that area. If the original road is used it would be considered a categorical exclusion of EPA environmental impacts. A lot of this area has already been dug up when the water and sewer lines were installed. Jim Amess said the Board has decided to request an archeological study be conducted in conjunction with this project. Wanda Carlson expressed concem that the Church may not have enough parking. Chairperson Gray said there isn't a problem now, there are usually 5 to 7 cars during Church service hours, the area proposed seems to be adequate. Wanda Carlson also expressed concern regarding access to Jim Arness's business, with a one -way street. Roger Meeks said it will be narrow through that area and hard to access the business. Jim Arness said the Church has the ultimate say about the project, because they own the land. It will be their decision how much ROW they wish to relinquish. The private property owner is virtually land locked, if the road is brought behind Ft. Kenay it would solve this problem. But that was not an issue anymore since this seemed to be the approved plan, at this point. Historic District Board November 15, 1994 Page 6 Chairperson Gray felt the project should not focus on tourism. The project should seek to maintain the historical nature of the area. She said the Church Council had approved this plan. The SHPO and DOT should receive the plans and discuss whether an archeological study is required. Dorothy said she had seen an aerial slide which showed there was a road or path behind Ft. Kenay in the early 1900's. The main concern of DOT is not rearranging history in Old Town. James Malanaphy said he would like to see whether trees would be impacted by the project. Henry Knackstedt said the plan only shows building and fences, also lighting has been requested but is not represented in the plans. The Board and the Church should have input on this. Malanaphy just said it was difficult to get a feel of landscaping issues associated with the project from the drawing. Wanda Carlson noted there are not many trees in this area, mostly right around the Church. Chairperson Gray thanked Mr. Knackstedt for bringing the plans to the meeting. 8. REPORTS 9.

Some punch -items remain that will be completed next spring along with the final topsoil grading and seeding. Those miscellaneous items to be completed were summarized in a memo to the City from Monte Bamett, our inspector. We submitted Pay Estimate #4 on November 17, 1994 for all work completed. The total work amount completed to date is $1,540,691.73 and a final amount for work completed should be $1,546,847.73. Based on the known amount of work to be completed and paid for next spring we anticipate the project will be 2.3% below the Adjusted Contract Amount of $1,583,417.38, and 0.4% below the Original Contract Amount of $1,553,777.00. The total dollars remaining in the construction budget should be $36,569.65. If the City chooses to compensate Foster Construction for any part of the steel gas main issue, these numbers will change. The Contractor submitted a letter on October 13, 1994 requesting $16,294.56 for work he considered additional while working with the abandoned steel gas main. In a subsequent letter dated November 9, 1994 the Contractor broke down his effort for abandoning exposed gas main at $5,746.56, and hauling it away at $8,442.75 for a total of $16,295.00 including 15% mark -up. Using the time and equipment they are claiming we calculate a total of approximately $14,460 using the Project Specifications.

Consulting Engineers, Inc. Soldotna, AK 99669 remove at least some of the abandoned pipe from site at no cost to Foster Construction. We further understand that this offer was denied by Foster because of the potential value of the steel pipe. This implies that the disposal cost of the pipe claimed by Foster may be higher than it could have been. We do not know where the pipe was ultimately removed to. It is impossible to calculate the exact amount of effort required to demolish and remove the gas main, however, based on our observations, the cost for Foster to work with the gas main was in the ballpark of $10,000. The question still remains if Foster Construction is due any portion of the amount claimed for working with the abandoned gas main. The Contractor contends that the Specifications and Addendum #1 only refers to "existing utilities" and "utilities to be relocated ", and not "abandoned in place" utilities. The Contractor claims that the gas main that was abandoned in place is not covered for compensation under Item 70.41 Existing Utilities in Construction Zone. Because Foster Construction knew or at least should have known that the City was negotiating with Enstar to replace the existing gas main with a plastic main before bid opening, and because it is normal practice to leave the abandoned utility in place, we assumed that Foster Construction was aware that the old utility was to be abandoned in place. It seems reasonable that Foster Construction should have been responsible for understanding before hand that the steel gas main was to remain in place, however, the specifications may be subject to different interpretations. Also, the Engineer and the City were not party to discussions between bidding contractors and Enstar, so we do not know if the Contractors were given complete and accurate information. Enstar's communications on this project have been less than ideal, and may have been misleading regarding information supplied to bidders. Since a solution is not clear to us, we recommend doing nothing until Foster begins the claim process. It could be that they are fishing at this time and may not be serious. If a claim is filed, it may be most cost effective to settle with Foster at a lesser amount. If you have any questions, please give me a call.

Having a chance to do that was reward enough, your gift is extra special! Thanks, too, for the Outstanding Contribution Award.

Again, many thanks, Chrystal Smith Deadline Extension for EPA Landfill Financial Assurance Rule EPA is in the process of developing a special rule under Subtitle D landfill regulations to create a "local government test" for counties and cities that own landfills. The test will allow some local governments to avoid having to create a' fund or obtain a surety bond or letter of credit to assure that money is availabl. future years to pay for landfill closure and post - closure. On October 18, EPA announced that they are proposing to delay the current April 9, 1995 effective date for Subtitle D financial assurance requirements by one year, to April 9, 1996. This new date will give cities time to incorporate into their 1996 budgets any new costs that may result from the financial assurance requirements.

Ritchie AML STAFF CHANGES As the new Executive Director I have been spending much of mytime coming up to speed on the critical aspects of my job. The staff has been wonderful to work with during this process. Chrystal Smith delayed her departure to Cambodia to make sure that the AML conference ran smoothly and that we were well trained to assume her duties. Julie Krafft, who has been with the League since 1992, will fill Chrystal's spot as Director of Member Services. Julie has a great background in AML programs and the legislative process. Jeanne McRoberts, who has been with the League since 1991, will continue to keep AML's business programs and finances in order as well as assume new program duties as Business Manager. Susan Bebahani, recently hired, has assumed our clerical and information processing duties and is being trained to assume other program duties. Please call on any of our staff at any time. We hope to hear from you often. ALASKA MUNICIPAL BASIC SERVICES (AMBS) PROGRAM UPDATE The major product of the annual conference was the UNANIMOUS adoption of the Alaska Municipal Basic Services Program. The Alaska Municipal League Board of Directors and the Legislative Committee have set the AMBS program as our top legislative priority next year. Without a unified stand on state aid to municipalities, it is possible that Municipal Assistance and State Revenue Sharing will simply be eliminateo in the next several years. The two programs have already been cut over 55% in the past ten years and slated for a 50% cut last year alone (which was derailed late in the legislative session by the actions of the AML and municipalities.) Now that the conference is over, the real work on the AMBS Program begins at home in each municipality. To successfully stabilize state aid to municipali- ties this year by the adoption of the AMBS Program. each community must make the Adoption of the Alaska Municipal Basic Services Program and the Restoration of FY 94 Funding Levels their number one legislative priority. Please call me at 586 -1325 if you need more information orwould like someone to make a further presentation. COMING EVENTS The Board of Directors of the Alaska Municipal has adopted an exciting work program for the next year. The broad priorities are: 1. Membership Development 2. Legislative Priorities 3. Revamp the conference program and length to encourage greater partici- pation 4. Increase training opportunities for municipalities 5. Develop additional services to cost effectively meet the management and service needs of municipalities If you are interested in any one of the priorities listed above, I would like to discuss your ideas. Please call me at 586 -1325. AML Touchstone • December 1994 Page 3 EPA Small Town Task Force Alaska communities have access to an EPA program designed to assist small communities and suggest ways EPA can meetsmall community needs. The Small Town Task Force repre- sents communities across the nation with populations of less than 2,500. It was created to assist small communi- ties in planning and financing environ- mental facilities and to identify regula- tions which pose significant compli- ance problems for small communities. Ginny Tierney from Thorne Bay is Alaska's representative and one of two EPA Region 10 members on the Task Force. On October 19, members of the Task Force met with U. S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Carol M. Browner to discuss a recently re- leased Task Force report. The report discusses EPA's program to assist small communities, and suggestsways the Agency can meet their needs, in- cluding recommendations that EPA provide expanded technical assistance to small towns and thatCongress, EPA, and state and local governments con- sider the cumulative impact of environ- mental regulations in the development of new requirements. The report em- phasizes the finding that small towns are different from large towns — not just smaller, and sets forth four principles to guide regulatory actions. Copies of the Task Force recom- mendations can be obtained from SERO by calling 465 -4814. Further information regarding the work of the Task Force can be obtained by calling Ginny Tierney at 828 -3380.

This letter concerns all citizens of the State of Alaska, because it has to do with their elected officials and how they spend taxpayer money. I thought it would be refreshing for them to hear that there are times when it is wisely spent. It is my opinion that the Alaska Municipal League (AML) Conference held in Juneau last week was one of those times. Now I'm sure that every elected official wants to do the best job he or she can to represent their local citi- zens; 1 know 1 do, but without the proper knowledge of laws governing municipalities or the correct way to use Roberts Rules of Order during a meeting, the task ofgovemingis some- times confusing and often frustrating. 1 am a newly elected councilmember from the City of Seldovia, one of the most beautiful places in Alaska, and sometimes felt overwhelmed with the task set before me to help govem the city. That's why ! decided to attend the AML Conference. I realized that in order to be effective, 1 would need to learn more about how local govern- ment operates. The AML was offer- ing two days of intensive training for newly elected officials. three days of workshops on important issues fac- ing Alaskan municipalities, policy making sessions, and the annual business meeting. I looked forward to going, even though 1 heard state- ments like, "It's probably just an- other junket," and "It's a waste of time and money." Though it may be true about some conferences, I found neither of these statements to be true about the AML Conference. On the contrary, I found the meet- ings and workshops extremely in- teresting, educational, and without a doubt, absolutely essential for any newly elected official The policy making sessions were exciting too, because /learned that we really can influence how our government works. The depth of information we received at AML was extraordinary; the personal contacts invaluable. My attendance at the conference gave me the knowledge I needed and confidence that I will be able to effectively represent the citizens of my city. 1 still have lots to learn, but I now know where to look for an- swers, and who to tum to for help. That makes me fee! a lot better and, hopefully, it makes all of you feel better as well. Sincerely, Peggy Cloninger, Councilmember Seldovia.

Mayor Don Gilman, Kenai Peninsula Borough, was the winner of the Municipal Official of the Year Award. According to his nominating letter, Gilman became interested in political is- sues while serving on the Seward Planning Commission in the early '70's. He ran for Mayor of the Kenai Peninsula Borough in 1975 and served for five years. He was then elected to the Alaska State Senate and served for four years. In 1987, he was successful in his bid for the Mayor's position and is still serving the Kenai Peninsula. Mayor Gilman has served his community well. He has worked continuously to develop an atmosphere of teamwork among borough departments and service areas and to involve the public as a partner in the decision - making process. He is greatly admired and re- spected by local citizens as well as by state and local officials. Unfortunately, Mayor Gilman was unable to accept the award in person because he was out of state on Kenai Peninsula business. Palmer Police Chief Ron Otte was the winner of the Munici- pal Employee of the Year. According to his nominating letter, Chief Otte has set a continual example to the rest of us by providing help to other AML members. Chief Otte has established an auxiliary force that provides additional support at the State Fair each year. In addition, Chief Otte works closely with all agencies involved with a successful state fair. He has initiated reorganization of the Palmer Police Depart- ment which included a major rework of the Policy and Proce- dures Manual.

The proposal is the result of the hard work and participation of people and communities too numerous to list in a brief memorandum. The project was implemented by the special Municipal Aid Working Group (MAWG) created last year at the direction of the AML membership. Although there is no such thing as a perfect solution to a problem as complex as meeting the needs of Alaska's municipalities, the committee has carefully considered all of the comments of the Board and member communities, and developed a solution that allocates state shared revenues fairly, encourages a "back to basics" approach to municipal services, and very gradually adjusts municipal allocations. While there is room for refinement of the proposal, the key to its success will be the unanimous support of each community in Alaska. The power of Alaskan municipalities is in their ability to reach consensus. I believe that the passage of this program this year by the legislature is achievable if we reach and maintain that consensus. After all, the Alaska Municipal League is not a special interest group, it represents the people of Alaska. The state has reduced state shared revenues to municipalities far beyond reductions to other programs in the operating budget (over 55% in the last 10 years and 13.9% in FY 95 alone). Why? Because there is a perception that the existing municipal aid programs are not critical to the provision of municipal basic service and the support effort by municipalities for the programs has not been as continuous and solid as necessary. In the upcoming legislative session all Alaskan municipalities need to put this proposal on the top of their legislative priority list. Many communities create separate project priority lists for their legislators. For the AMBS Program to be successful each community must put the "Alaska Municipal Basic Services Program and the Restoration of FY 94 Funding Levels for State Shared Revenues to Municipalities" at the top of their legislative request Member of the National League of Cities and the National Association of Counties If the municipalities want a stable state aid program for municipalities, we must be willing to assist the state in developing and implementing a long range fiscal plan. As you know, the AML Policy Statement has supported the restoration of a state income tax for several years. Also, each gubernatorial candidate has identified the income tax as the best and fairest way to obtain new state revenue "when the time is right ". After the hardships endured by municipalities during the last few years it is obvious that the "right time" for a state income tax is fast approaching. An imprortant part of the concept of the Alaska Municipal Basic Services Program is significantly increased funding for state shared revenues to municipalities in the next several years supported by the implementation of a long range fiscal plan for the state, including strong consideration of a state income tax. The municipalities represent the vast majority of the people of the state. Therefore, no legislator is able to avoid giving serious consideration of the needs of municipalities IF we act in unison. I look forward to our discussions at the conference. I also invite you to send your comments to me in care of the AML office. Thank you. 1r THE ALASKAN TEAM Municipalities are created under the Alaska State Constitution as "subdivisions" of the state, or, in other words, part of the State/ Municipal TEAM that provides services to the peoples of Alaska. The State /Municipal TEAM is much like a dog sled team. If all of the members of the TEAM do not pull together, the sled does not move. The ALASKA MUNICIPAL BASIC SERVICES Program creates a State /Municipal TEAM that will serve the peoples of Alaska as a vehicle to improve their quality of life. As the attached graph shows, state aid to municipalities has been severely cut. The impact on municipalities has been to reduce municipal basic services to Alaskans or create new local taxes. It is time to restore the State /Municipal TEAM for Alaskans by approv- ing the ALASKA MUNICIPAL BASIC SERVICES Program and restor- ing a fair and adequate funding level. m C C f!) = > LPL 4+ d O 0 CI C T3 l4 C w CO •N Cf y C < 7 16 12- O • 'E , 0 = • to N c u}.

Alaska must change its basic concepts or paradigms to prepare for the future. The key conceptual shifts are: ALASKANS SUPPORT ACCOUNTABILITY AT ALL LEVELS OF GOV- ERNMENT. The CURRENT program does not encourage accountabil- ity. It is not based on providing BASIC SERVICES. The PROPOSED program is based on the provision of nine categories of MUNICIPAL BASIC SERVICES. Ck) ALASKANS WANT ABACK TO BASICS' APPROACH TO GOVERN- MENT. The PROPOSED program provides funds ONLY for municipal BASIC SERVICES. rk) ALASKANS SUPPORT STREAMLINED AND LESS COMPLEX PRO- GRAMS. The PROPOSED program is Tess administratively complex for municipalities than the current program. It consolidates two pro- grams into one. ALASKANS WANT THE STATE'S LIMITED RESOURCES DISTRIBUTED EQUITABLY AND EFFICIENTLY. The CURRENT program uses out- dated formulas that reflect the old policies and situations of the time. The PROPOSED program distributes the funding based on LOCAL ASSESSED VALUE, MUNICIPAL BASIC SERVICE EFFORT, and POPU- LATION. Ck) ALASKANS ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR CAPACITY TO MAINTAIN EXISTING CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS. The PROPOSED program offers an effective means of assisting municipalities in the maintenance of existing community improvements. ALASKANS WANT STABLE MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENTS. The PRO- POSED program provides a long-term vehicle to provide stable fund- ing to municipal governments in the fairest and most efficient man- ner. Ck) ALASKANS WANT LOCAL SELF DETERMINATION. The PROPOSED program gives communities a long-term base of funding to plan for the future and solve many of their own problems without direct state involvement. WHY SHOULD THE STATE FUND MUNICIPAL BASIC SERVICES AT A REASONABLE LEVEL? State government is the custodian of the land base and resources commonly owned by all the people of Alaska. Alaskan municipalities are a critical part of the basic public service network but do not control these resources. As in a family, the state must distribute its wealth according to the needs of its members. State government has an obligation to share revenue from the resources that are commonly owned by all the people of Alaska to provide basic and essential state and MUNICIPAL services. EVERY state in the U.S.A. provides some form of revenue sharing to its municipalities. Due to Alaska's dispersed population, relatively small local tax bases, and large resource revenues to the state, it is critical that sufficient state revenue from commonly held resources be distributed to local governments to ensure that minimum basic municipal services are provided. Sharing of revenues from commonly held resources is espe- cially important to small rural communities. Many have virtually no tax base and state shared revenues are often their only stable revenue. Revenue sharing INCREASES LOCAL DETERMINATION rather than fostering the need for additional direct state services to communities. EVERY DOLLAR CUT FROM MUNICIPAL REVENUE SHAR- ING OR MUNICIPAL ASSISTANCE IS A DOLLAR OF LOCAL TAX INCREASE OR A CUT TO DIRECT BASIC SERVICES TO ALASKANS. Alaska's emphasis during the last decade has been on capital projects. Often the cost of continuing operation and mainte- nance of projects was not planned adequately. It is critical that the programs to share revenue from resources com- monly held by all the people of Alaska be strengthened to ensure continuing maintenance of existing improvements and to provide a base for other basic and reasonable local opera- tions and maintenance. ALASKA MUNICIPAL BASIC SERVICES PROGRAM AT A GLANCE WHY SHOULD THE STATE SHARE REVENUE WITH ITS MUNICIPALITIES? HOW IS THE ALASKA MUNICIPAL BASIC SERVICE (AMBS) PROGRAM BETTER THAN WHAT WE HAVE NOW? MINIMUM ENTITLEMENT FOR SMALL COMMUNITIES State government is the custodian of the and base and resources commonly owned by all the people of Alaska. Alaskan municipali- ties are a critical part of the basic public service network but do not control these resources. As in a family, the state, like a par- ent or elder, must distribute its wealth according to the needs of its members. All 50 states have some form of revenue sharing for municipali- ties. This program is especially critical for Alaska because of the very small tax base of many of its communities. The two current programs comprising state aid to municipalities are administratively complex for municipalities, have outdated formulas, do not ensure that municipal basic services are pro- vided, and have some conflicting policy provisions. They are acceptable programs to allocate state revenues in the short term, but they do not reflect the policy decisions necessary for the future. The proposed AMBS program supports a "back to basics" ap- proach to government, increases accountability, reduces adminis- trative complexity, allocates revenues fairly, and provides an efficient long term vehicle to support stable and effective local government. A key feature of the AMBS program is the increase of the mini- mum entitlement for municipalities from $25,000 to $50,000. This amount represents a minimum amount to keep most small municipalities viable. ALASKA MUNICIPAL BASIC SERVICES (AMBS) PROGRAM HOW DOES IT WORK? The BASIC CONCEPT of the AMBS program is that the state should share revenue with municipali- ties in proportion to the extent that the municipalities provide municipal basic services. There are two basic steps to allocating AMBS funds: STEP ONE STEP TWO BASIC SERVICE CATEGORIES NOTE Allocation of the annual legislative appropriation among the nine municipal basic service categories for police, fire, etc. (see list below) Each municipality is entitled to receive an amount of municipal aid funds from one or all municipal basic service categories in propor- tion to that municipality's local effort in each category (actual prior year expenditures), its overall ability to pay (represented by the full and true assessed value), and its population. 1. POLICE 2. WATER and SEWER OPERATION and MAINTENANCE 3. ROADS and ICE ROADS OPERATION and MAINTENANCE 4. WASTE MANAGEMENT OPERATION and MAINTENANCE 5. FIRE and EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES 6. TAXATION /ASSESSMENT, FINANCE, LAND USE PLANNING 7. HEALTH FACILITIES OPERATION and MAINTENANCE 8. TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES OPERATION and MAINT. 9. COMMUNITY SERVICES (parks, recreation, social /health services, libraries and culture) The proposed AMBS program retains entitlements to provide fund- ing for health facilities, volunteer fire departments outside of mu- nicipalities, and unincorporated communities in the Unorganized Borough.
