BACK TO WORK: 10:35 a.m.
ITEM B: DEPARTMENT GOALS & OBJECTIVES
FINANCE DEPARTMENT -
a. Personnel Director - Council discussed the advantages
of adding a personnel director to the staff. Monfor used the
hiring of the building official as a reason for it being
advantageous to have a personnel officer on staff (hiring
practices more consistent, etc.), also ADA requirements, family
leave, etc. Walker suggested an assistant city manager could be
involved in this. Williams stated he believed having a personnel
officer on staff could save money in time, efficiency and cost
analysis to pay for the position.
Measles and Swarner agreed. Measles added the position has been
discussed many times. Measles suggested the position could be an
assistant city manager and the job description could be written
to cover personnel functions, purchasing, etc. to make it a full-
time job.
FINDINGS: Swarner stated she would like to have the position
added to the 94-95 proposed budget for consideration. Monfor
suggested the item be returned to Manninen and Brown to develop a
job description. The job title should be assistant city manager.
Salary projections and job description should be brought back to
council at the next workshop.
Meeks approved of the position as a citizen. Meeks added the
city needs someone to be in charge when the city manager is out
of town, etc.
b. Computer - Williams suggested the computer be listed as
a five-year goal. Measles suggested having a computer expert
evaluate the city's entire needs and for assistance in knowing
what to do.
GOALS & OBJECTIVES WORKSHOP

C. unfunded Mandates - Manninen to compile a list of
unfunded mandates and forward a copy to the AML, and Alaska state
and federal legislators. The list should be available for the
Council's next workshop as well.
FINDINGS:
a. Place Personnel Director/Assistant City Manager in 94-
95 budget for discussion.
b. Place "computer evaluation" on short-term goal.
Finance Department computer on long-term goal.
KENAI VISITORS AND CONVENTION BUREAU, INC.
Monfor stated the KVCB board has not yet reviewed or approved the
goals and objectives included in the packet. Monfor stated she
was not comfortable discussing the goals and objectives that have
been compiled by one person.
FINDINGS: Went on to next group.
SENIOR CITIZENS CENTER
Williams asked how much of general funding is the City
responsible to put toward the Center. Manninen stated it is a
stand-alone, self -enterprising function. Monfor corrected
Manninen and stated he was talking about the congregate housing.
Council was discussing the Senior Center. Monfor added the City
has paid in -kind for utilities and employee increases. If the
City would not pay in -kind amounts, the purposes of the grants
and the grant monies would have to be changed. That would result
in lost services to the seniors.
Monfor suggested the Council investigate a tax for support of the
Senior Center. Williams asked if they wanted to change the
charter/code to allow for dedicated funds. Measles asked if the
city can have services areas.
FINDINGS:
a. Short-term. Continue search for funding for two new
vans.
LIBRARY
The possible addition to the library was discussed as well as the
Library Commission's preparation of floor plans for an addition.
GOALS & OBJECTIVES WORKSHOP
FEBRUARY 5, 1994
PAGE 4
FINDINGS:
a. Short-term. Have Administration compile a cost
analysis of bid -ready plans for an addition.
b. Short-term. Get cost analysis for architectural
rendering of the addition.
C. Long-term. Library Commission to continue working on
floor plan for library addition.
PARKS & RECREATION DEPARTMENT
a. Wellness Program - Monfor stated she believed it is
needed. A program should not be offered to the Fire and Police
departments, if not available for all employees. Measles stated
the program must be developed in a manner the rest of the
community believes is fair.
b. Itinerant Camping - Discussion followed of whether it
is the city's responsibility to have camping available. Swarner
stated she is not sure the City should be putting money into a
camping area for cannery workers. Swarner added she believed a
tourism camping area is needed. Swarner suggested reopening the
Forest Drive Municipal Park and have a host couple there to
manage it.
Monfor stated in the past, most of the people working at the
canneries wanted to experience living in a tent, etc. This has
changed in the last years. There are more migrant workers now.
Monfor stated she believed the City will have to discuss this.
The citizens may not want to pay for it. Also, the City has a
responsibility in protecting the dunes. The City needs to take
on the cost as a responsibility of the environment. Monfor added
the Municipal Park was closed because the city was not
maintaining it properly. Until it is maintained properly, it
should be kept closed.
Bookey stated he agreed with Monfor but thought the discussion
goes back to management. Bookey added there have been problems
with management not doing what Council wanted done. Bookey
stated the canneries in the 70's supplied space for their
workers. The canneries have a responsibility to continue to
supply living space for them.
Monfor stated if the cannery worker problem continues, the city
has a responsibility to the citizens to be sure sanitation and
GOALS & OBJECTIVES WORKSHOP

trash receptacles are available. An ordinance is in place (trash
and sanitation on private property) and it needs to be enforced.
Williams suggested a cannery campground be included in the five-
year plan. Smalley suggested the city could be a pass -through
agency for funds.
BEAUTIFICATION
Swarner suggested as a long-term goal to "clean house" in regard
to the Beautification Committee. Also, the Council needs to look
at the direction of flowers in the city. Maybe contract it out
and city employees not be responsible for planting, weeding, etc.
Discussion followed regarding placing a city greenhouse on
property by ballfields and Extension Service garden plots. The
greenhouse would be used to grow flowers for placement in city
planters and flower beds.
Swarner suggested the Beautification Committee be integrated into
the Parks & Recreation Commission. Measles stated he believed
the responsibilities of the Beautification Committee should be
given to the Parks & Recreation Commission. The commission
should be restructured by sunsetting the Beautification Committee
and replacing some of the Commission members with some of the
committee members.
FINDINGS FOR PARRS & RECREATION AND BEAUTIFICATION:
a. Long-term: Develop a wellness program policy for all
city employees.
b. Short-term: Establish a tourism/visitor fee tenting -
only campground with management within the park and clean it up.
C. Short-term: Itinerant Campground - Establish a
committee to address the cannery worker issue.
d. Short-term. Solicit information from Oregon regarding
their camping programs and implement changes as needed.
e. Short-term. Find cost effectiveness of contracting out
flower work.
f. Long-term. Have Beautification Committee develop a
plan and method for cooperative work between the Extension
Service and the City to place a greenhouse by garden
plots/ballfields.
g. Restructure the Parks & Recreation Commission by
replacing some of its members with members of the Beautification
Committee and sunsetting the Beautification Committee.

AIRPORT
The replacement/cleaning of the carpet was discussed. Also the
car rental agencies leases and leased areas. Williams suggested
when one car rental agency pulls out, another should not be let
in. Monfor stated she has made an effort to look at other car
rental agencies at other airports as to the size of the spaces,
the accommodations as a whole, etc. Monfor stated she has not
found any that have dividers, glass partitions, etc. like those
at the Kenai Airport. They are mostly a counter with a big sign
(company name) on the wall.
Williams suggested the re -negotiation of the car rental leases be
bid on April 1 instead of July 1 due to the timing of when the
agencies buy their new vehicles.
Leo Oberts discussed his opinion the airport needs to be equipped
for jet aircraft landing and regular flights.

mission is risky, and falls in the gray area where reason says "This is unreasonat
intuition says "But we believe we can do it nonetheless."
Ile proposed mission statement resulted from the Visioning Session and a subsequent session
held in May 1993. Ile proposed statement is:
Soldotna
Caring for the River and Each Other
Soldotna: Where the Kenai River ,flows through a vital community which
provides a safe, friendly home. We are a community where citizens take pride
and responsibility for their extraordinary qualiry of life. visitors feel welcome
and aspire to return. Citizens express their historic values through attractive,
unique architecture and landscaping. the river is nurtured and, in return, is
the heart of the healthy, compelling surroundings. The community is noted as
a highly prized location.
Identification of Key Community Issues
Key issues which will drive the focus of this Comprehensive Plan will be derived from a
combination of the City Survey, the visioning process and consensus of everyone involved in the
plan update.

To bring together the community's resources for creation of as
inspiring projection of St. Clair based on the fulfillment of a
plan created from the thoughtful and structured contributions of
a broad spectrum of the citizens, businesses, community groups
and government.
Together a cross section of the community will examine the
existing conditions in St. Clair including the impact of recent
growth and development, and keeping in mind the future needs and
desires of the community, will develop a long-term strategically
planned set of goals and objectives with specific
recommendations for implementation.

MEMORAMDDM
TO: Thomas J. Manninen, City Manager
FROM: Charles A. Brown, Finance Director
DATE: August 3, 1993
SUBJECT: Goals for City
Goal: To establish a personnel manager position that will
provide services to other City departments.
Objective: To establish consistent hiring practices, train
and advise supervisors in evaluation and interview
techniques, comply with personnel laws, and to improve the
hiring process.
Current Situation: The City Manager is in charge of the
personnel function (KMC 23.15.010). Hiring is
decentralized. The various departments conduct employee
searches, application reviews, interviews, and hiring at the
department level. The City Manager officially makes the
hiring decision. However, typically, the City Manager is
presented with only one option, the applicant selected by
the Department Head. (Also see Supervisor's Handbook,
Recruitment and Selection.)
There is no assurance that discrimination and favoritism
does not occur in hiring. No reviews are made of
departmental practices. Timeliness has also been a factor.
It has not been unusual for six months to elapse between
vacancy and filling of the position.
The Finance Department maintains personnel records and
complies with legal requirements regarding recordkeeping and
notices.
Areas for Improvement: A personnel manager, working
directly for the City Manager, should establish consistent
solicitation, review, and interviewing practices that will
result in hiring qualified employees, free of discrimination
or favoritism. Group and/or individual training of
Memorandum
Thomas J. Manninen
August 3, 1993

department heads and supervisors in areas such as
interviewing and evaluations should increase morale and
productivity. No scheduled personnel training is currently
conducted, although some employees have attended personnel
classes. A trained personnel manager will maintain the
knowledge to comply with local, state, and federal laws and
with normal personnel practices, to reduce the City's
exposure to claims and litigation.
Position and Cost: Cost will depend upon the position
range. It may be the time to establish an Assistant City
Manager position to assume personnel and other
administrative duties (see purchasing, below). Annual cost,
including benefits, might range from $60,000 to $83,000.
Additional consideration - Purchasing: The purchasing
function is also decentralized. Each department selects the
quantity, quality, pricing, and vendor as it chooses. Like
items are not combined for volume pricing. Need is not
assessed beyond the department level. Although the City
Manager is the purchasing authority, most purchases are made
without his knowledge. The Finance Department only reviews
purchase orders for mathematical accuracy, reasonable
account distribution, and availability of budgeted funds.
I am not proposing a warehousing purchasing function. I
suspect that simply combining orders for pricing, and
bidding more items, would result in substantial savings.
Consider that in FY93, the City spent about $690,000 on
supplies. (About $160,000 was for fuel. We do not bid
fuel; we haven't done so for at least a dozen years.) Also,
during FY93, the City spent about $2,000,000 on other
services and charges, such as janitorial, repairs,
utilities, transportation, etc. If more aggressive
purchasing could save 5% in the supplies category and 1% in
the other services and charges category, the annual savings
would be about $54,000. I have not analyzed these
assumptions to feel confident that they are reasonable.

Kenai Parks & Recreation Department
RE: A wrap-up of 1992 Season Parks Department Accomplishments
The Parks & Recreation Departmental Staff always encounters unique
challenges and opportunities - the 1992 season offered no
exceptions. Because of an early spring "break-up," coupled with
Little League Baseball beginning sooner than in previous years,
crews found themselves confronting these challenges quite early.
By mid -May, all baseball and softball preparation had been
completed and city lawns aerated, limed, and fertilized.
June and July were no less challenging, or eventful for that
matter. Extremely dry weather conditions in June caused crews to
greatly intensify watering efforts. There was some speculation
last season if the small water tank could sufficiently replace the
Fire Engine Watering Truck. The new tank, however, did not present
a problem at all. Crews could complete all watering at a quicker
rate and more safely. Furthermore, crews also extended their
efforts to accommodate non -routine tasks such as softball/baseball
tournaments, 4th of July festivities, weddings in Memorial Park, RV
Caravans, ALPAR bags, and much more.
Several uniquely large departmental projects materialized
throughout July and August. Softball fields were constructed at
the Kenai Middle School. In addition, crews spent several weeks in
the Kenai Community Park completing the preparation for the new
playground equipment that is scheduled to be installed in the
spring of 1993.

Equipment failure throughout the summer was minimal - something
that the crews took great pride in. However, toward the completion
of the season, Shop Personnel discovered several problems. The
John Deere 318 (PR70) riding mower is in need of an overhaul before
it can be put back into service. The Satoh Tractor (PR30) is going
to need a brake job and also a clutch replacement and it appears
that the Kubota Tractor's (PR31) PTO is worn out. As for vehicles,
the 1982 Ford 1 ton (PR4) may need a clutch replacement and it's
questionable as to how much longer the 1982 Chevy 1/2 ton (PR6) and
1982 Ford 1/2 ton (PR2) can remain in service. As for
replacements, a new Fertilizer Spreader Tank was purchased at the
end of last season to replace an aging tank and a Honda Sickle
Mower was purchased which was primarily utilized for mowing ditches
along the highway.
Many thanks goes out to the Crew Leaders and crews for tackling the
challenges of 1992 and making this season a success. As winter
months approach us, we can reflect on this season's accomplishments
while patiently awaiting next year's challenges.

KENAI SENIOR CITIZENS CENTER
GOAL
The Kenai Senior Center is a vital social multi -purpose senior center, offering a broad
range of services/activities and access to many community resources. The senior center
is unique because it focuses on older adults as total person, recognizing their diverse
need and life-long interests, experiences, and skills.
The philosophy of the senior center is based on the premise that aging is a normal
developmental process; that human beings need peers with whom they can interact and
who are available as a source of encouragement and support; and that senior adults
have the right to voice in determining matters in which they have a vital interest.
The staff at the center is obliged to create an atmosphere that acknowledges the value
of human life; affirms the dignity and self-worth of the older adult; and maintain a
climate of respect, trust, and support.
OBIECTIVES:
To maintain a community focal point where older adults can come together for services
and activities, respond to their diverse needs and interests, enhance their dignity, support
their independence, and encourage their involvement in and with the center and the
community by providing the following services.
Congregate Meals
Transportation
Outreach
Shopping Assistance
Telephone Reassurance

A PUBLIC LIBRARY IN SERVICE SINCE 1949
163 MAIN STREET LOOP
KENAI, ALASKA 99611
TC): TH07.11AS J . MANNINEN, CITY MANAGER
FROM: EMILY DeFOREST, LIBRARY DIRECTOR
DATE: 27 DECEMBER 1993
RE: i994 GOALS
GOAL B: DEVELOP FLOOR PLANS FOR LIBRARY EXPANSION.
The library needs to expand the building to provide
space for the non-fiction and the children's
sections. a minimum of 10,000 square feet of stack
area. Moving both these sections into a two story
addition would enable us to provide better space for
the various computers and terminals in public use.
We also need to move the employee lounge away from
the active working area into the present activity
room, and provide an activity room in the planned
expansion..
An addition with proper sanitary facilities and a
better entry would put the library into compliance
with the ADA.
WHO IS THE BOSS OF MY DEPARTMENT?
The City Clerk is hired and fired by the City Council. The City
Council is my "boss." However, I believe it is important this
department work closely, and as much as possible, in harmony with
the other departments and especially with the City Manager and
City Attorney. It is important that we all, including the
council, remember the citizens are ultimately the "big boss."
They are footing the bills and expect good choices to be made.
GOAL OF CITY GOVERNMENT?
In essence, we all work for the citizens of Kenai. Our salaries
come from their tax dollars. We should work as a team to get the
best bang for the citizens' bucks, i.e., listen to their
complaints; try to be patient; direct them as quickly as possible
to the person that can help them best; be as frugal as possible;
stay busy, etc.
GOALS OF CLERIC'S OFFICE
1. Having copies of all ordinances and resolutions in numerical
order and in files accessible for review.
2. Placing all minutes, ordinances and resolutions in an
indexing computer program in order to be able to search and
retrieve. The old minutes, ordinances and resolutions are
on microfilm. We have a scanner all ready to use, however,
we have no work area to put it. Copies of the documents are
run through the scanner and dumped onto computer disks or
hard drive. The documents can then be searched, etc. as
needed.
The scanner was purchased by the Legal and Public Works
Departments. Bob Bears is very interested and anxious to
use it for STP records. We can visualize the amount of use
the equipment could encompass.
The work area needed is a computer with the scanner program,
the scanner and a desk area to place it. The computer would
need to be available for use by many people. This presents
a problem as many of us do not have the flexibility where we
can allow others to sit at our desks and take over our
computers for unknown amounts of time.
3. Microfilming - I have been in the process of going through
past meeting packets, minutes, ordinances and resolutions to
ready them for microfilming. To ready the documents for
microfilming, staples, paper clips, etc. need to be removed.
A time consuming process and one that I have not had a lot
of success with yet.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Tom Manninen, City Manager
FROM: Jack La Shot, Acting Public Works Director- "J -
DATE: December 28, 1993
SUBJECT: Department Head Meeting
As you requested I have attached information regarding our Public Works number one
priority; the Animal Control Shelter for state funding for 1994. The information is the
same that was reviewed at the December 15 council meeting. This project is also the
number one priority listed in the "City of Kenai Request for state Grants" brochure.
Some of the unfunded mandates that have affected the city over the recent years are
briefly summarized. Some costs are identifiable, or have been incurred already, and
some costs are unknown at this time. All of the mandates have significantly added
adm inistrative duties.
Underground Stora9e Tanks (UST's)
We have spent approximately $50,000 to $100,000 already in upgrading, replacing,
testing, and related work. We still have potential work at the airport of unknown
magnitude.
Water Quality
The Lead and Copper Rule went into effect in July, 1992. The first tests were due by
1/10/93 and required testing of 40 sites in January and another 40 sites six months later.
Both tests came out good so the city is only required to test once a year now. Our next
test is due June, 1994. The cost is approximately $740.00 for the tests, including
shipping.
The following water quality mandates have an undetermined impact:
Surface Water Treatment Rule (SWTR) - the purpose of the SWTR is to prevent illnesses
caused by microbiological contaminants in drinking water. The scope of the SWTR
includes Maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) for turbidity; turbidity sampling and
analytical requirements; public notification requirements; disinfection and filtration
requirements; criteria for avoiding filtration; analytical, monitoring, reporting and
recordkeeping requirements.
Total Coliform Rule (TCR) - the purpose of the TCR is to prevent illnesses associated
with the presence of coliform bacteria in drinking water. The scope of the TCR includes
conform sampling, analytical, and reporting requirements; public notification requirements;
and MCLs for coliform bacteria.
Organic and Inorganic Contaminants - the purpose of the federal rules regarding organic
and inorganic contaminants is to prevent illnesses associated with exposure to chemical
contaminants in drinking water.
Contaminated Soils
Some of this is related to underground storage tanks, however, some (the Courthouse
site) is not. The magnitude of costs to the city could be substantial for other city lands
depending on the extent of contamination yet to be identified.
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permits
This is an EPA mandate involving storm water discharge (Sewer Treatment Plant and
Airport). Most of the work is with the airport. We have prepared a PPP (Pollution
Prevention Plan) to deal with spills, monitoring of outfalls, testing, etc. We will have some
on going costs to test and administer this program.
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
This mandate will cost the City a significant amount to upgrade facilities, review programs,
improve personnel practices, etc., to comply. Most city buildings are in pretty good shape
for compliance because most were constructed under the old Section 504 guidelines,
however, some of our other facilities should be upgraded over time. We are seeking
funding to replace the parks restrooms, partly to comply with ADA. This program places
a large burden on the administration of a small city.
Safety Plan -OSHA
Bloodbome Pathogens
Lock-out/Tag-out
Respiratory Protection
Hearing Protection
Safety in Confined Spaces
Hazard Communications
Costs related to the safety plan will be safety equipment, shots, and safety films/books
and administration fo the program.

This Animal Control Shelter is very basic but structurally sound. It is not at all elaborate.
It has galvanized sheet metal siding. The architect and the City have spent a lot of time
on this design. It is a very operationally efficient building. The new building is designed
at 3,294 SF while the old one is a little over 1,000 SF. I have also attached the Kenai
Animal Control Shelter 1992 Intake record so you can get an idea of how many animals
our Animal Control Officers deal with.
This is just a progress report so Council will have an idea of where we are on this project.
We do plan on a small brochure outlining this project for the legislators. Hopefully, we
will obtain some funding for this badly needed building.

PROPOSAL TO REPLACE TANKER-1
rL T
c- Er ON
I
KENAI
The water tanker presently used to respond to fires in areas
located well beyond the fire hydrant system cannot be safely
driven. It is over twenty-five years old, and was originally
designed to transport fuel. The Kenai Fire Department requests
$200, 000 to purchase a replacement tanker which meets modern safety
standards for mobile water supply fire apparatus. The goal of this
proposal is to obtain a versatile vehicle which will provide the
means for a safe and timely emergency response to those areas of
the community which are not served by a fire hydrant system.
The Kenai Fire Department serves an area approximately 33 square
miles in size, with a single fire station located in the center of
the community at the intersection of Main Street Loop and Willow
Street. Large residential areas such as East Kenai, where the city
limits is seven miles from the station, and VIP subdivision where
the city limits is five and one-half miles from the station, have
no water system in place to supply fire hydrants.
A tanker is necessary to provide a dependable water supply when
fires occur in those areas, as well as to provide a water supply
for hazardous materials incidents, airport emergency incidents, and
to assist neighboring fire departments and State Forestry when they
request mutual aid.
The current tanker cannot be safely driven for several reasons:
It was designed and built in the mid-1960's as a fuel tanker with
a capacity of 5,200 gallons, which equates to a combined liquid and
tank weight of approximately 41,600 pounds. When converted for use
as a water tanker, few structural changes were made to accommodate
the additional two pounds per gallon weight difference of water.
The same 5,200 gallon capacity of water equates to a combined
liquid and tank weight of approximately 52,000 pounds. (10,000
pounds over the original design capacity). A full tank of water
does not have the same center of gravity as a full tank of fuel,
thereby taxing the drive train, suspension, and steering of the
vehicle. The current tanker does not meet minimum standards for
acceleration and braking due to inadequate design for its current
use.
The tires used on the rear, weight bearing axles are of the best
available today, yet their combined rated capacity of 45,120 pounds
R%
is nearly 7,000 pounds less than the weight carried when the tanker
is full of water. For this reason, the tanker must be housed with
only 3,000 gallons of water on board, thereby reducing the weight
on the suspension system and tires by approximately 18,000 pounds.
The reduction in water capacity to 3,000 gallons does not greatly
affect fire fighting abilities of the department. However, driving
the tanker with this partial load creates the problem of sloshing
the water in the tank. When stopping at a traffic light or stop
sign, the water rushes forward causing the tanker to slide into
traffic. The baffles in the tank were designed for full capacity,
and do not perform well with a lessened load, creating a safety
Catch-22 situation.
The delivery of water at a fire scene with this tanker is
accommodated by a gravity dump system, and through two, 2.5 inch
discharge ports supplied by a PTO powered booster pump. The
gravity dump system requires the. tanker to be backed into a fire
scene to deliver water to fire pumpers. The tank can only be
filled from a fire hydrant or from another fire engine. It has no
drafting ability, as its pump is designed only to transfer water.
Drafting is the ability of a tanker or pumper to take water from a
static source of water such as a river or pond by creating a vacuum
with its fire pump.
By replacing this tanker with a tanker which meets modern safety
standards, several objectives can be obtained on the path to
achieving the goal of this proposal.
A tanker designed for a 3,000 gallon water capacity would be fitted
with proper and safe suspension, drive train, and steering systems,
and a baffle system to prevent excessive water motion while in
transit. The design would include an on board fire pump to
accommodate drafting from static water sources, as well as the
ability to pump required volumes and pressures for fire fighting
needs. A jet dump system driven by the pump would enable rapid
delivery of water to fire pumpers or portable fire ground storage
tanks.
Modern designs of tankers for the fire service include the addition
of a small tank for foam which enables the tanker to be used for
fuel and hazardous materials spills, as well as to compliment the
Department's aircraft crash trucks.
This proposal outlines the need to replace the current tanker for
safety and efficiency reasons. A replacement tanker can be ordered
immediately, fully equipped for the amount requested. The 3,000
gallon capacity tanker with foam and pumping capabilities is
standard for such apparatus in today's fire service. The community
will be well served by such a versatile and necessary vehicle.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Thomas J. Manninen
City Manager
FROM: ,�y� Daniel L. Morris
P ' Chief of Police
DATE: December 28, 1993
SUBJECT: Priority funding
POLICE DEPARTMENT
Presently the Police Department has about ten mobile car radios
that are 15 years old. They require more maintenance than the
newer units and lack the capability to communicate with the
Alaska State Troopers and Soldotna Police.
In the past, we have experienced situations requiring multi -
agency response and direct communication between police units.
These include responses to escapes from the prison, pursuing
fugitives, aircraft disasters, environmental disasters, and
generally an awareness of what is occurring in adjoining juris-
dictions.
Mobil radio prices have dropped dramatically during the past few
years. The current price for a scanning multi -channel radio is
approximately $1,000. Updating our older units would require
approximately $10,000.
COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT
In 1986 the Police and Communications Departments purchased an
in-house computer network system. Part of that system included
multi -task PC's for dispatch functions. The PC's in use now are
80286 CPU's which are capable of accessing the in-house system,
the State crime computer (APSIN), and the National Crime Informa-
tion Center (NCIC). These units also serve as word processors
for processing reports. Recently, we have experienced problems
interfacing with APSIN. APSIN representatives have advised us
that the problems would be solved if we used the faster PC's (486
CPU) .
The Kenai Peninsula Borough E911 system went on-line in October
1993. A portion of the system funding included a borough -wide
computerized mapping system. To access that software would
require upgrading the PC's in our Communications Center.
Replacing the current PC's in dispatch would cost approximately
$3,000 per unit. Four new units would be $12,000.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Thomas J. Manninen
City Manager
FROM*Chief
Daniel L. Morris
of Police
DATE: December 27, 1993
SUBJECT: Unfunded federal mandates
In response to your memo dated 12/22/93, following is a list of
federal mandates requiring expenditure of city money. The
figures are estimates. The list includes legislation that has
had or will have the biggest impact on finance.
OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens
This regulation required expenditures for personal protec-
tive equipment, vaccinations, records and personnel costs
for training and implementation. Costs will continue in the
future for annual training, vaccinations for new employees,
and replacement of equipment.
Initial costs:
Protective equipment $ 2,000
Vaccinations & follow-up 4,000
Training (material & wages) 2,000
Review & implementation 1,500
$ 9,500
Continued costs annually:
Training $ 1,000
Equipment 1,000
Vaccinations 500
ISTEA
This regulation will impact the Police Department in the
very near future if the State does not expand the Weights &
Measures enforcement unit in this location. We will be
forced to expend local resources to establish and operate a
secondary size and weight enforcement program targeting
commercial vehicle violations. This would include portable
truck scales and access to an area to perform commercial
vehicle inspections.
The minimum initial costs would include:
Portable scales $18,000
Training 2,400
Officer wages 6,000
$26,400
Continued costs would include annual wages
and equipment replacement:
$10,000
ADA
Public Works is currently reviewing City facilities to
determine mandated changes to physical structures.
Other sections of the regulations have required review and
revision of the application process. A TTY/TDD unit was
placed in dispatch for communicating with hearing -impaired
callers.
Initial costs for equipment
and compliance this far: $ 1,000
Any necessary structural changes will be determined by
Public Works.
Brady Bill
This bill will require the Police Department to conduct a
background investigation on every person in Kenai who pur-
chases a handgun. Many aspects of the bill will require
much more review and clarification of requirements.
By far, the largest cost will be wages for personnel con-
ducting the investigation. The bill takes effect on March
1, 1994. I would estimate at this time that costs would
exceed $10,000 per year.
Two hundred million dollars was allocated to the Department
of Justice to assist the National Crime Information Center
(NCIC) with criminal records compliance. I don't expect to
see any of that money in Kenai.
Upcoming legislation
HR1237 - National Child Protection Act of 1993
Requires national criminal background checks for child
care providers.
HR1534 - Private Security Officers Quality Assurance Act
Will require programs to screen, license, and train
security officers.
HR324 - Crimes Against Children Registration Act
Will require sex offenders to register with law en-
forcement agencies when released from prison.
This appears to be only the beginning of federal legislation that
will impact state and local law enforcement.
I don't disagree with the intent of all the legislation, but that
local government is forced to pay for it.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: December 27, 1993
TO: Thomas J. Manninen, City Manager
FROM: Kayo McGillivray, Parks & Recreation Director ;K/4
SUBJECT: CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
ffffffffffffffffffffffifffffffffffffffifffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
The Parks and Recreation Commission listed "Tent Camping Area" as
the top priority in their recent Goals & Objectives presented to
the Council.
Estimated cost of this project is $150,000 based on figures
received from the Petersburg Parks & Recreation Department. They
are currently operating such a facility. The project would
include:
Shower and restrooms (water and sewer)
Shelter for tables, etc.
Sinks for dish cleaning
Grills for cooking - wood or gas??
Trash cans - dumpster
Electrical
Pay Phone
Tent Pads (with A frames optional)
12' X 12' or 16' X 16' or both
Parking - gravel pad
Unfunded Mandates - ADA
Replace Restrooms - $200,000 estimated
Paths for Playground access - $5,000 to $6,000
01. Sewer and water costs will be specific to your site and
depend on how much can be done in-house and how long you stretch
from stub -outs. You will need both.
#2. Electricity for a hot-water heater, coin timers, lights, pop
machine, etc. could be run in by HEA, but your real expense will
be the service install by a contractor and how much is run off of
it. Plan on $5,000 to $10,000.
#3. Phone lines can be run in right after the power goes in. A
payphone is a necessity in camp and is very important to the
campers. Convince your local Phone Co. that it will make them
money and will not get busted up. Put it out in plain view under
a main shelter where campers and staff can keep an eye on it.
04. Showers are very important to longterm campers and can help
pay your utility bills. Because most campers will be working all
different shifts, the demand for use is spread throughout the
day. The Shower Hall at Petersburg Tent City has four rooms,
with sinks, hooks, benches, mirrors, and coin -activated timers
for hot water coming from a six -element heater. This facility
works well for 100-200 people and cost us approx. $20,000. Our
Building Maintenance Dept. built it in-house out of concrete.
Even though you have Davis Block right there, I would still
suggest you pour the walls and build it like a bomb shelter.
05. sinks for dish cleaning will be needed and should have hot
water run to one of them. This is still a problem in our camp
that we hope to correct this Spring. Cost could be $1000 or less
#6. obviously, bathrooms will be needed. One set should be
enough for a full camp, but they should be built fully accessible
and easy to clean. Since you are running sewer and water in,
consider flush toilets. we've had porcelain fixtures for 13
years with few.problems because longterm campers don't damage
things so important to their longterm comfort. They're not real
clean, but they don't break anything. Cost could run $10,000 to
$20,000.
07. Petersburg provides wood as a part of camp fees and we have
3 cooking grills set up under our Main shelter. It costs us a
little more, but we can control the bonfire building by supply
and your local woods surrounding the Camp don't get distroyed.
Plan $1000 or less for grills.
08. Trash cans and a dumpster will be needed. We have our
dumpster on a regular weekly pick-up and are planning to enclose
it to keep the bears out. Locate it where cars will not block
it's pick-up and enclosed it. Peninsula San. will be happy to
see you coming, but your fees should cover this ongoing cost.
09. Building tent pads could be very simple in Kenai. Plan on
double occupancy and pads anywhere from 12' x 12' to 16' x 161.
Elevate the pads, if possible and build them out of treated
lumber if you can afford it. In Petersburg, we have built
A -frames on each pad so that campers can put a secondary tarp
over their tent to protect from our heavy rains. You may decide
this is not necessary in your drier climate. I would suggest you
build 25-50 pads to accomidate up to 100 people and provide a
good facility for revenue. Price will depend on wood prices, but
plan on $25,000 to $50,000.
110. Parking will be one of your easiest items. In Petersburg,
we start with getting a DOA Wetlands Permit and then pay for shot
rock, 3' glacier rock, 3/4" crush with workers and machinery, all
costing time and big bucks. This could probably be done in-house
in Kenai.
011. I would strongly suggest an open -sided, all metal shelter
building, approx. 30' x 601, well lit at night with a photo -cell,
to act as a common area with picnic tables and most facilities
under it. Use a clean gravel floor that can be "renovated" each
season. Such a building could cost you $30,000 to $40,000
installed.
All these items, plus some could cost approx. $150,000 to
provide. This is, of course planning on the high side, hoping
for as few surprises as possible. If the thought is to pursue
state assistance for this project, I would suggest going after
the Governor's Matching Grant Program, with local funds coming
from the local Processors, and City in-house contributions. If
that's not possible, perhaps a Tourist Grant or Economic
Development Grant.
Management of your "Tent City" is whole other issue, but
equally important to a good facility. When/if you get to that
point, I'd be happy share our system with you. A lot of pain and
13 years have evolved a good plan for us here. As I mentioned on
the phone, I stop in to say "Hi!" on January 3rd or 4th when I'm
in town.
Happy Holidays!

DATE: December 28, 1993
REFERENCE: Legislative Request
Unfunded Mandates
Legislative Request: To obtain funding in the amount of $50,000 to purchase two
replacement vehicles for the senior citizen transportation program. We have a need to replace
the 1981 Ford van and a 1984 Ford Escort. The city shop foreman has requested we select
these vehicles for rotation. Over the years our direction of service has changed towards a
more frail elderly population. This change requires us to provide vehicles which are more
accessible to their individual needs. Our request would be to replace the escort with a large
station wagon and a 12 passenger van with a raised roof and extended doors.
I understand the State of Alaska has available funding with a match requirement. The Kenai
Senior Connection has expressed the desire to help meet this requirement.
Unfunded Mandates: Currently, unfunded mandates do not apply to our program and
services.

To: Thomas J. Manninen, City Manager
From: Randy Ernst, Airport Manager
Date: December 28, 1993
Re: Identifying Projects Requiring State Funding and
Unfunded Mandates Requiring costs in Dollars or
Manpower
The Airport department does not require any State of Alaska
funding through State revenue sharing or Municipal assistance.
Airport projects are funded, for the most part, with Federal
Aviation Administration A.I.P. funds. The funding formula is
93.75% Federal, 3.125% State, and 3.125% City. State funds are
available through the FAA and City funds are taken from the
Airport Land Fund. Any funds expended on airport terminal
renovations or additions would come from the Terminal Retained
Earnings fund or the Airport Land Fund.
Possible unfunded mandates could include the following:
1. Clean-up of an underground fuel tank site at the emergency
generator building may be required but we have not been
directed by the DEC as to what the remedy will be.
Cost unknown.
2. The airport terminal was constructed implementing Section
504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and is in general
compliance with current ADA guidelines. There may be some
areas that would require implementation, but to date none
have been suggested.
Cost unknown.

KENAI HARBOR COMMISSION
1994 GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
Mission Statement
Recognizing that due to its uniqueness the Kenai River is a
vital resource to the City of Kenai, the State of Alaska, and the
nation, the purpose of these goals and objectives is to promote
economic activity on the lower Kenai River while maintaining and
promoting the highest social, environmental, safety and esthetic
standards.
Short-term objectives:
1. Add protective material around the present open pilings on the
upstream side of the boat ramp floats. The present float
design prevents larger boats from using the upstream ramp.
2. Conduct an annual safety audit of the Kenai Dock area. Items
to be covered shall include, but not be limited to, safety of
the general public, fishermen, and City personnel; warning
signs; traction on dock and floats; and staffing levels on the
dock. The audit shall also include fueling procedures and
fuel nozzle drip prevention.
3. Put in place an oil spill- response and emergency contingency
plan with necessary containment and cleanup materials. Also
explore possibility of cooperating with a local spill response
organization in the placement of cleanup supplies at the dock
area to be used if necessary.
4. Provide a ramp from the concrete dock to the dock floats to
provide better access.
S. Seek to discover means of preventing or reducing siltation at
the dock and boat ramps and documenting for the Corps of
Engineers all boats which become grounded due to low water.
Long-term objectives:
1. Explore the possibility of developing a commercial leased
area, either for yardage or buildings.
2. Explore the feasibility of adding a third boat launch ramp.
3. Extend the City Dock and add a second causeway. This will
expand the dock capacity and ease traffic congestion.
4. Provide a deadhead with short chains or cables at the boat
ramp for use by disabled vehicles.
