WHEREAS, there is a substantial demand for bunker fuel by the numerous cruise ships that call on Alaska ports; and, WHEREAS, the operators of these cruise ships purchase bunker fuel at the port where they purchase at the most favorable price; and, WHEREAS, the State of Alaska Marine Fuels Tax of $.05 per gallon prevents Alaska fuel suppliers from being competitive in the bunker fuel market with ports on the U.S. West Coast and British Columbia; and, WHEREAS, this proposed legislation is not expected to reduce State revenues, but rather, appears likely to generate increased revenues to the State due to expected increase in volume of bunker fuel sales at Alaska ports; and, WHEREAS, these increased sales of bunker fuel could potentially create as many as twelve (12) new seasonal jobs; generate a significant increase in business for the transportation support industries; generate additional local sales and property taxes; and further support the rapidly expanding tourism business on the Kenai Peninsula; and, WHEREAS, at this time, tourism is the fastest growing industry in the State of Alaska. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, that we respectfully urge passage of HB453/SB327 by the Alaska State Legislature. PASSED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, this 16th day of March, 1994. John J. Williams, Mayor ATTEST: Carol L. Freas, City Clerk March 3, 1994 TO: Kenai Chamber of -Commerce FROM: Raymond Measles/Mark Necessary SUBJECT: HB453/SB327 BUNKER FUEL TAX There is a great potential demand for bunker fuel from the cruise ship industry. Princess Cruises, Crown Cruises, Holland: - America Line, Regency Cruises are among those operating during the summer with large ships that purchase as much as 200,000 to 250,000 gallons at a time. The operators are obviously concerned that they purchase at the most favorable prices and with the storage - capacities they are able to shop for fuel on the West Coast, British Columbia or Alaska. Unfortunately, Alaska's 5 cent tax puts us out of the market with our competitors. The 5 cent tax is equivalent to a tax rate of approximately 15% or more on the purchase of the bunker fuel. The State of California's recent experience gives an excellent example of how price sensitive this product is. The California Legislature passed a 8.25% sales tax on bunker several years ago at a time California led the nation in bunker fuel sales. Sales dropped immediately and the State experienced such a dramatic drop that the California Legislature overturned the statute within two years. The current proposed legislation is not expected to reduce State revenue even though it reduces the tax from 5 cents to 1 cent per gallon for all bunker fuels sold in the State. In fact, it appears likely the State will see an increase in revenue due to the increased volume of bunker fuel sales expected. For example, one of the major cruise lines requires 15,000,000 gallons per season alone. If only that one line purchased 1/3 of its requirements in Alaska, the State would enjoy more income than it did on average during the past five years. In addition, we understand this will create as many as 12 new seasonal jobs on the Kenai Peninsula; generate a significant increase in business for the transportation support industries; generate additional local sales and property taxes; and further support the expanding tourist trade business in the Kenai Peninsula.

I am asking for your support of this bill. Currently, the tax nn thin ttial nand mostly by cruise ehips and other forges vorisels is five cents per gallon. This bill will change the tax rate for residual fuel oil from the current rate of five "nt % per gallon to one coat por gnilon. An economic incentive for cruise ships to purchase fuel in Seward would be created by this reduction. We anticipate that 10-20 jobs would be created on the peninsula by passage of this bill. Additionally, because of increased sales of bunker fuel, the state will broak even or will have increased revenues to the trocasury. In additism to increased employment, the Borough will benefit by receiving the additional taxes generated by additional fuel sales. Residual fuel oil is the heavy refined hydrocarbon that is the residuo .from crude oil after refined petroleum products have been extracted by the refining process- Residual fuel may only be used when sufficient heat is provided to the oil to reduce its viscosity and to givo it fluid properties euMcien.t for pumping and combuution. These residual fuels are excellent for use in the large cruise ships that travel to Alaska. Because the current tax on the residual fuel is at Eve coats per gallon, companies such as Tesoro Alaska aro forcod to soli their residual fuel at tt lose since there is no market for the fuel. By reducing the tax, a market io created with the cruise ships; more than 90 cruise ships will be coming into Seward this summer. The cruise ships that servo Seward now purchase fuel in Vancouver, British Columbia. According to the attached final report of the Governor's Task Force on Regulatory Reform, if the price for residual fuel can be competitive with prices in ARNWR CANTOL/ JVNGAv, AK 99001-1182 I (907) 465-2020 / fax: (907) 465-4777 xnnrclu.lr.carrnkac (ane U--6— 3�a24 KALiromsKY DEACH ROAD.

Propose a statutory or regulatory change to make marketing of heavy fuels, (heavy hunker oil) more economically competitive by eliminating or reduciug the taxes. Statutory reference AS 43.40.1 - May be possible to do by regulation. Due to the excessive tar an heavy fu*Lr f used insure (52,10), heavy fuels have no instate sales/useage. In 1970-72, heavy bunker fuel was sold, to a small market, lbr use instate, by such firms as Sealand In 1972, thte present tar was placed on this fttet All sales then ceased and have restrained non -.existent since that date. Currently, there is the potential for a market of these fuels in Alaskc, if the price of the fuel can be competetiver with prices in Canada (current fuel source). The initial potential is for annual sales of $7, 000, 000, and employment for 7-10 Alaskans Refineries instate do produce the heavy bunker futtl, and then It sell as an exported product 1VIIlY�iG SI 10. Change the valid tinteframe of an Exploration and Reclamation Permit from one year to rive year= (DNR), 11 AAC 97.309 Currently permits are only good for one year, and require considerable effort and expense in preparartom Fipinradon and raclamatton the»rselves are likely to spem savoral years. Requiring firms to file anew each year is art unnecessary addidotutl experua both for the busincsy enterprise and the State, which does not contribute to either the applicant or ADM. If -OM is seeking updated information on changes, then alter the: regulations to require notrfrcadon of any changes when and if ch=grs occur from those in the original approved permit S1 11. Add a phrase to 18 AAC 80.020 so that it reads: "Toxic and Othcr Deleterious Organic and Inorganic Substances -Substances shall not exceed Alaska Drinking Water Standards (18 AAC 80) or EPA Quality Criteria for Water as applicable to substances and tin, i e., if the svater„¬ tired ar a lZublic ivater, sustain, II AAC 8Q 020 Ygurce Protacd'on is not the avallaablc rtsa " This Is recommended in order to get away from efecdve treated water at the soured.

PASSED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, the sixteenth day of March, 1994. JOHN J. WILLIAMS, MAYOR ATTEST: Carol L. Freas, City Clerk CDBG/lh MEMORANDUM DATE: March 9, 1994 TO: Mayor John Williams City Coaneil FROM: Loretta Harvey, ministrative Ass *� SUBJECT: CDDC-RBDI GRANT PIJBLEC HEARING The City has filed an Intent to Apply for FY94 CDBG Grant funds to provide improved accessibility to City owned buildings for people with disabilities. Under the Threshold Requirements for this grant the City is required to hold two public hearings. A Citizen Participation Plan and Proof of Community Assessment must be included with the application. Items which need to be covered are: Review of the community's development and housing needs and reflect that discussion in the minutes. 2. Formally accept proposals and citizen views and comments on the proposed CDBG project and reflect that discussion in the minutes. 3. We need to specifically say at the meeting and in the minutes, that the City has chosen to seek CDBG funding for the project, and state specifically what the project will be. If the minutes do not contain all of the above information, they do not technically meet the requirements of the program. As a result the application may not be reviewed by the Application Selection Committee. Improvements for City Hall, Public Safety, Library, Rec Center, Visitors Center, Congregate Housing, Senior Center, and Airport Terminal buildings are being considered. Please come prepared to discuss this project, if you need more information contact Jack at 283-7535. WALTER J. HICKEL, GOVERNOR - DEPT.

Box 112100 Juneau, Alaska, 99811-2100 Phone: (907) 465-4890 Fax: (907) 465-3212 RE: Intent to Apply for FY BG- Threshold Requirements We recently received your "Notice of Intent to Submit a CDBG Application" card, and I am writing to offer technical assistance with the development of your project and application. If there are any apparent problems with your project that I can determine from your intent card, you will receive another letter. Right now, I want to make sure that your application will pass the initial threshold review when it is submitted to us in March. We have several requirements for CDBG applications, as I am sure you will notice from the CDBG Handbook and Application packet. Many of these are considered "threshold" requirements, meaning that if the application does not meet those minimum standards, it will not be reviewed for funding by the Application Selection Committee. In past grant cycles, we have run into some problems repeatedly, and have now decided to try and eliminate the problems before the applica- tions are submitted. To pass threshold review, and to be reviewed for funding, your application must meet the following requirements: The application and all required attachments must be received in the Fairbanks DCRA office on or before 4:30p.m., March 28, 1994. The application, must be submitted by an eligible entity (Home Rule City, First Class City, Second Class City or organized Borough). The application must be for an eligible activity. Appendix A, "Authority to Participate", must be signed by the applicant's highest elected official and at least one original attached to the application. The project must meet the National Objective to benefit at - least 51% low and moderate income persons. Appendix C, "Statement of Assurances and Certification", must be signed by the applicant's highest elected official and at least one original attached to the application. C A Citizen Participation Plan and Proof of Community Assessment (minutes of a public hearing held within six z,-MM months prior to application submission) must be included with the application. - Without a doubt, the requirement that causes the most problems is the Citizen Participation Plan and Proof of Community Assessment. Page 12 of the CDBG Handbook says: Each applicant must hold at least two public hearings. The first shall be held not more than six months prior to the original submission date of the application, with the purpose of reviewing the community's develop- ment and housing needs, accepting proposals and citizen views and comments on the proposed project, and electing to seek CDBG funding for the chosen project. Documenta- tion of this public hearing, in the form of meeting minutes, must be submitted with the CDBG-REDI application. A second public hearing must be held during the term of the project to review program performance. To adequately fulfill this requirement, it is necessary to make sure the public meeting addresses all of the points in the above paragraph. First, you should post or publish notice of the meeting, stating the purposes of the meeting and inviting public comment. Include a copy of this notice with your application. Second, you need to review the community's development and housing needs at that meeting, and reflect that discussion in the minutes. Third, you must formally accept proposals and citizen views and comments on the proposed CDBG project at that meeting, and reflect that discussion in the minutes. Fourth, you must specifically say at that meeting and in the minutes, that the City/Borough has chosen to seek CDBG funding for the project, and state specifically what that project will be. If the minutes do not contain all of the above information, they do not technically meet the requirements of the program, and the application may not be reviewed by the Application Selection Committee as a result. This means that a very worthy project may not be funded because of a technicality. Please don't let this happen to your project. If you have any questions about any of these threshold review requirements, please call me at 465-5541 for clarification. March 28 is too late to find out about it! Sincerely, Melanie Antioquia Grant Administrator Chairman Walker opened the item to public -hearing. Seeing and hearing no persons wishing to testify, the item was brought back to the Commission. DISCUSSION: Jack La Shot noted that the present structure is in conformance with the setback code. It is the two-story addition which requires the variance. Bryson asked if the signatures attached to the application had been determined to be surrounding property owners. Loretta Harvey said she had verified they were neighboring properties, and one more neighbor had brought in a signature after the packet was mailed. It appeared the neighbors had no objection to the variance. VOTE: BRYSON GLICK WERNER-QUADE MCCOMSEY PIERCE GOECKE WALKER YES YES YES ABSENT- ABSENT YES YES b. Community Development Block Grant - Rural Economic Development Initiative Program (CDBG-REDQ Chairman Walker introduced the item reiterating that the requested amount of the grant will be $50,000. MOTION: Glick MOVED approval of Resolution PZ 94-12. Goecke SECONDED. *PUBLIC HEARING: Chairman Walker opened the item to public hearing. Seeing and hearing no persons wishing to testify, the item was brought back to the Commission. *DISCUSSION: La Shot reported the reason for bringing the CDBG-REDI proposal before P&Z was that one of the requirements for the grant is that we have public hearings and establish a plan for utilizing the money. The project needs to be beneficial to the community. The city is attempting to get as much public input as possible to show that removal of barriers to comply with the American's with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes - March 9, 1994 Page-2 priority. The $50,000 figure is something that the City will have to match. It's not necessarily the amount of money the city will have to spend, but Administration had decided that a higher figure should be sought, in case unforeseen problems arise. Teresa Werner -Quads had prepared a memo to cover items which were specifically requested. Walker asked if the Administration had completed their study of the sites that will be improved? La Shot said no, but they would be working on that in the near future and also get a transition plan completed in time to make any changes before the ADA deadline. The improvements will be specific to city buildings, such as City Hall, Police and Fire, Library, etc. The law says we have to make changes that are reasonable. Werner -Quads said she had prepared the following statements after speaking to La Shot. The Community development needs include providing, within reason, on a long- term basis improved accessibility for individuals with disabilities. Our city buildings have been constructed using the "Undorm Federal Accessibility Standards (UFAS)" since UFAS inception in 1973. However, there are several other "special needs" standards by which buildings can be judged. Be it known that this body requests improved accessibility in all City of Kenai buildings, within reason, and standard compliance according to the needs of the citizens that use these buildings, such as: parking; door openers; width restrictions; elevators; handrails; wheelchair/walker ramps; counter top/drinking fountain height; and braille; etc. The City of Kenai has chosen to apply for FY94 CDBG grant funds; matched by the city. Funds in the amount of $50,000 will allow for accessibility on existing buildings, and also, any other city buildings or remodels that may require upgrades, which the public uses, such as the Library and Airport Terminal. Councilman Smalley noted that one of the things that ADA requires is just having a plan in action. La Shot said that the city is behind in the plan but they do have until January 26, 1995 to make structural modifications. Goecke asked what buildings were in need of improvements? La Shot said City Hall is one with the main changes to be designated parking areas, Kenai Planing and Zoning Commission Minutes - March 9, 1994 - Page-3 doors, signage, lower counter tops, etc. The Library has a few areas to work on, there is a restroom which could be used by the disabled, just the signage is needed to indicate this area. Being in compliance does not always mean renovation is necessary. For example, having people available to help direct the public to available facilities, signage indicating areas, are adequate attempts to comply. VOTE: BRYSON GLICK WERNER-GUADE MCCOMSEY PIERCE GOECKE _ WALKER YES YES YES ABSENT ABSENT YES YES La Shot noted there will be another public hearing at the Council Meeting, March 16th. Goecke asked if a list of improvements will be available at that hearing. La Shot said he hoped to have a rough list by then. 6. NEw BUSINESS 7.- OLD BUSINESS a. Review of Commercial Zones - Spur Highway Walker noted this item has been carried over until the March 23rd meeting. 8. CODE ENFORCEMENT ITEMS La Shot reported that the Police Department was working on the situations at Foto Quick and the Katmai Motel. Most of the cars which were for sale in front of the motel have been moved. The Legal Department is pursuing citing Gus Rhodes for code violations concerning abandoned vehicles. Administration will be reviewing further action on the Quandt property situation this spring. Goecke asked if Administration had investigated the situation of junk vehicles on 4th and Forest as requested in the previous minutes? La Shot said he hadn't, but he would try to before the next meeting. 9. REPORTS a.

OF KENAI As we discussed in our phone conversation last week, the Department needs to acquire 200 square feet of the City's property located at the junction of Kenai Spur and Walker Lane for the Kenai Spur Road Project MP 2.8 to 10.6. This letter contains the Department's offer to purchase this property. The area of the City's land to be acquired contains 200 square feet and has been designated as Parcel No. 16. The property has been inspected and a Value Estimate prepared. The review process of the Value Estimate has now been completed and the "Fair Market Value" of your property required for highway right of way has been determined to be $200.00. A copy of the Value Estimate is enclosed. Also enclosed are the documents necessary to complete the sale of the property to the Department. These include a Warranty Deed, Purchase Voucher and a Memorandum of Agreement. Please execute the enclosed original documents where indicated and return them in the envelope provided. After our phone conversation, I learned that we will also need a 10 foot utility easement along the west side of this property. We do not want to delay the acquisition of Parcel 16 so I will be sending a letter of offer separately requesting the easement (Parcel E-16) once all the documents are prepared. I'm enclosing a copy of a plat for Parcel E-16 for your information. City of Kenai -2- February 8, 1994 On 2/3/94, while doing some work on the Kenai Spur Highway, I noticed that there is a pipe with a large post attached to it sticking up out of the ground in the area where we will be requesting the easement. Do you have any information on what is buried out there? Is it an underground fuel tank? Clearing and grubbing for this project is scheduled for April 1 and installation of utilities is scheduled to begin May 1, 1994.

ROLL CALL Members present: Dianne Smith, Bob Scott, Ron Holloway, Bill Toppa Members absent (excused): Bonnie Koerber, Tom Thibodeau, Linda Bonewell Also present: Councilman Ray Measles; Airport Manager Randy Ernst; Loretta Harvey, Administrative Assistant 2. APPROVAL OF AGENDA Ron Holloway MOVED approval of agenda as presented. Bob Scott SECONDED. PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. 3. PERSONS PRESENT SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD a. Brenda - Pilgrim Advertising Brenda Pilgrim presented an advertising proposal which would include a poster contest (attached). A statewide campaign would be launched for artwork which could be used to produce a poster advertising the floatplane basin. The only stipulation would be the artist must own and operate a floatplane. The winner would receive a free floatplane slip in 1995, and also 50% of the poster proceeds. The remaining 50% would fund the following year's contest. Estimated total cost would be $3,832.96. Chairman Bill Toppa said it was a great idea. Ron Holloway agreed but felt the contest should not be limited to floatplane owners. Kenai Airport Commission March 10, 1994 - Meeting Page 1 Airport Manager Randy Ernst reported that the advertising budget left for '94 was $1,200.00. He had budgeted $5,000.00 for FY95. He would like to see the '94 advertising effort begin in late April or early May. There had been past discussions considering giving the slips away in 1994, this would require a recommendation from the Commission and Council approval. MOTION: Holloway MOVED to recommend to Council that the 25 Floatplane Slips be given away free for the 1994 season. Dianne Smith SECONDED. PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. Toppa wanted the full commission to review the advertising proposal before a decision was made. He recommended that a committee be created at the next meeting to work with Brenda on the poster contest idea if the commission concurs. Ernst said he would contact Brenda after the March 16th Council meeting. If the Council agrees to give free rental of the Floatplane slips that can be incorporated into the '94 advertising campaign. Brenda said she would also contact newspapers statewide by letter, to see if they would do articles on the free slips. 4. APPROVAL OF MINUTES a. February 10, 1994 Toppa asked for additions or corrections to the minutes. Seeing and hearing none the minutes stood approved as presented. 5. OLD BUSINESS Ernst reported that it didn't appear to be a problem to roll-over the Airport Car Rental Leases in December and making them effective July 1. There will also be some verbiage added to the leases to clarify the Disadvantaged Business Enterprises DBE issue. Holloway said that Thibodeau was working to prove that the Civil Airport Patrol (CAP), facility is not used exclusively by the CAP. He is compiling a list of users to submit to the FAA for funds to extend the runway to the CAP building. Kenai Airport Commission March 10, 1994 - Meeting Page 2 Ernst explained that the information and letter should be sent directly to FAA, then it would come through his office and back to the City to appropriate the money from the FAA funds. 6. NEW BUSINESS a. Advertising - Discussed under 3. Persons Present Scheduled to Be Heard 7.

Library Director explained the typed report for January and went over the February computer printout. She stated many people are still coming in for library cards and that a lot more periodicals are being used than ever before. The new addition to the library is still in the goals and objectives for the city after the meeting with councilmembers. A new computer will soon be needed for the library as well as for the finance department. The City may solicit the expertise of a computer consultant regarding the choice of the computer and possibly networking the City system. Mrs. DeForest went to the ALA conference last month which had 2,200 exhibits. She was very interested in the new self -checking unit whereby the library patron can put his/her card in a slot and the books will be de -magnetized and checked out. The library may soon be consider enrolling in a magazine subscription service. It is currently being handled by writing separate purchase orders for each periodical subscribed. The magazine service may help to streamline the procedure. KENAI ADVISORY LIBRARY COMMISSION March 1, 1994 Page - 2 7. OLD BUSINESS. A. 45th Anniversary Tea.

Teen Director Kenai Parks & Recreation RE: A wrap-up of 1993 Season Parks Department Accomplishments GENERAL The 1993 season presented many unique opportunities and unexpected challenges for the Kenai Parks and Recreation summer staff. The work load elevated early, as once again, spring emerged rather quickly. Moreover, we experience another very dry summer. This, compounded with the many objectives set forth, kept crews busy until season's close. In addition to accomplishing most of our pre -season preparations on schedule in May, several large departmental projects materialized and unfolded as the season progressed. Last season the City of Kenai attained its "All -America City" status. Additionally, members of the Beautification Committee along with many community residents with joint interests, set forth vet another obtainable goal: To become the Kenai Peninsula's most beautiful city. As a result of their efforts and vision, John J. Williams, Mayor of the City of Kenai, proclaimed 1993 as the "Year of Beautification." This proclamation was passed by the City Council on the seventh day of April, 1993. Through the cooperation of Kavo McGillivray, the Kenai Parks & Recreation Director, and the guidance of the Beautification Committee members, staff and volunteers y a task force was established, coals and objectives outlined, and a plan implemented. By late-Mav; a total of forty- four (44) roses (9 different varieties) and 19 lilacs (Hungarian and Canadian Hvbrids) were planted. Beautification efforts were primarily concentrated in downtown Kenai in high profile areas such as public buildings and parks. Additionally, the mounds of Alaskan perennials in Leif Hansen Park were ungraded under the guidance of Merte Dean Feldman in addition to a new slower bed constructed near the Spur Highway frontage, Kenai fire/Police Department. Blue Star and at the Chamber Building. A concrete fire pit was also added and placed in close proximity to the Chamber of Commerce log cabin. The intention is to use this pit to contain a bonfire during our annual "Christmas Comes to Kenai" ;:elebration and to serve as a flower bed throughout the summer months. Beautification crew members also assisted in the installation of a new sign and constructed a flower bed at the Cooperative Extension area in memory of Warren Larson and installed an All -America City Garden in Leif Hansen Park. Thus far, donations for our garden have been generous. The Chamber of Commerce in Rockford, Illinois donated one (1) spirea, the City of Little Rock. Arkansas donated ten (10) Sweet dock Orange shrubs, and a large Blue Spruce was donated by the Citv of Delta. Colorado. Moreover. beautification efforts targeted other sites as ell. Crews planted caraganas around the perimeter of the shelter on the Softball Greenstrip along with five (5) spruce trees for added balance and aesthetic value. Upgrades were performed at Municipal Park with the addition: of Canada Red Cherrvs, caraganas, spruce trees, and spireas. Landscape upgrades were also performed at the entrance to Bernie Huss Fitness Trail, Cunningham Park, and at City Hall. Aside from last season's beautification efforts, other maintenance operations and activities were performed and conducted as planned. Sports fields were maintained and prepared daily for scheduled games, and City of Kenai Parks were routinely maintained. �L major portion of Parks Crews work schedule was dedicated to the installation of new Gametime playground equipment which was installed in 4th Street Park. Old Town (.;swing set/rocher tovs), and Municipal Park as well as performing limited facility upgrades in other existing Parks. Feedback from neighborhood residents regarding the new equipment have thus far been very positive, and neighborhood kids have been very receptive - making almost daily visits right up until the fnrst frost. Non -routine events such as Subsistence Fishing, ALPAR bags, weddings at Memorial Park, 4th of July Parade, RV Caravans, Arco Jesse Owens, and Softball Tournaments also kept crews very busy. Once again, Shop Personnel headed up a bulk of vehicle and equipment maintenance efforts and are to be commended on a job well done. From a maintenance perspective, equipment failure was minimal. Prior to being used last summer, the Kubota Tractor's (PR-31) PTO was replaced but engine was beginning to blow oil late in the season and the John Deere 318 (PR 7 0) received an overhaul. The Satoh Tractor (PR-30) received a brake job and a clutch replacement prior to service. Moreover, the Honda RT- 5000 (PR-74) is starting to burn oil and the Kubota Lawn and Garden Tractor (,PR-67) needs a seat replacement, and one of the 19' Honda mowers needs a deck replacement. The Chevy 314 Ton (PR-6) was lost to auction last summer, however, a replacement has been requested. As for equipment acquisition, the Department received a Husgvarna CRT 50 (PR-60) rototiller, a KIFCO B130 (PR-64) Water Reel Sprinkler, and a John Deere Utility Tractor with a front end leader. Shop Personnel also built an additional trailer (PR-61) which will be used exclusively for carrying our water tank. Many thanks are extended to all City of Kenai employees and residents for their input and cooperation and to the Parks and Recreation Summer Crew Leaders and their Crews for their hard work and determination in assisting with our efforts.

Seeing and hearing no persons wishing to testify, the item was brought back to the Commission. DISCUSSION: Jack La Shot noted that the present structure is in conformance with the setback code. It is the two-story addition which requires the variance. Bryson asked if the signatures attached to the application had been determined to be surrounding property owners. Loretta Harvey said she had verified they were neighboring properties, and one more neighbor had brought in a signature after the packet was mailed. It appeared the neighbors had no objection to the variance. VOTE: BRYSON GUCK WERNER-DUADE I MCCOMSEY I PIERCE GOECKE WAUCER YES YES YES ABSENT ABSENT I YES YES b. Community Development Block Grant - Rural Economic Development Initiative Program (CDBG-REDQ Chairman Walker introduced the item reiterating that the requested amount of the grant will be $50,000. MOTION: Glick MOVED approval of Resolution PZ 94-12. Goecke SECONDED. *PUBLIC HEARING: Chairman Walker opened the item to public hearing. Seeing and hearing no persons wishing to testify, the item was brought back to the Commission. *DISCUSSION: La Shot reported the reason for bringing the CDBG-REDI proposal before P&Z was that one of the requirements for the grant is that we have public hearings and establish a plan for utilizing the money. The project needs to be beneficial to the community. The city is attempting to get as much public input as possible to show that removal of barriers to comply with the American's with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission - M im ites - March 9, 19" Page 2 priority. The $50,000 figure is something that the City will have to match. It's not necessarily the amount of money the city will have to spend, but Administration had decided that a higher figure should be sought, in case unforeseen problems arise. Teresa Werner-Quade had prepared a memo to cover items which were specifically requested. Walker asked if the Administration had completed their study of the sites that will be improved? La Shot said no, but they would be working on that in the near future and also get a transition plan completed in time to make any changes before the ADA deadline. The improvements will be specific to city buildings, such as City Hall, Police and Fire, Library, etc. The law says we have to make changes that are reasonable. Werner-Quade said she had prepared the following statements after speaking to La Shot. The Community development needs include providing, within reason, on a long- term basis improved accessibility for individuals with disabilities. Our city buildings have been constructed using the "Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards (UFAS)" since UFAS inception in 1973. However, there are several other "special needs" standards by which buildings can be judged. Be it known that this body requests improved accessibility in all City of Kenai buildings, within reason, and standard compliance according to the needs of the citizens that use these buildings, such as: parking; door openers; width restrictions; elevators; handrails; wheelchair/walker ramps; counter top/drinking fountain height; and braille; etc. The City of Kenai has chosen to apply for FY94 CDBG grant funds; matched by the city. Funds in the amount of $50,000 will allow for accessibility on existing buildings, and also, any other city buildings or remodels that may require upgrades, which the public uses, such as the Library and Airport Terminal. Councilman Smalley noted that one of the things that ADA requires is just having a plan in action. La Shot said that the city is behind in the plan but they do have until January 26, 1995 to make structural modifications. Goecke asked what buildings were in need of improvements? La Shot said City Hall is one with the main changes to be designated parking areas, Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes - March 9, 1994 Page 3 doors, signage, lower counter tops, etc. The Library has a few areas to work on, there is a restroom which could be used by the disabled, just the signage is needed to indicate this area. Being in compliance does not always mean renovation is necessary. For example, having people available to help direct the public to available facilities, signage indicating areas, are adequate attempts to comply. VOTE: BRYSON GLICK WERNER-OUADE MCCOMSEY PIERCE GOECKE WALKER YES YES YES I ABSENT ABSENT YES I YES La Shot noted there will be another public hearing at the Council Meeting, March 16th. Goecke asked if a list of improvements will be available at that hearing. La Shot said he hoped to have a rough list by then. 6. NEW BUSINESS 7. OLD BUSINESS a. Review of Commercial Zones - Spur Highway Walker noted this item has been carried over until the March 23rd meeting. 8. CODE ENFORCEMENT ITEMS La Shot reported that the Police Department was working on the situations at Foto Quick and the Katmai Motel. Most of the cars which were for sale in front of the motel have been moved. The Legal Department is pursuing citing Gus Rhodes for code violations concerning abandoned vehicles. Administration will be reviewing further action on the Quandt property situation this spring. Goecke asked if Administration had investigated the situation of junk vehicles on 4th and Forest as requested in the previous minutes? La Shot said he hadn't, but he would try to before the next meeting. 9. REPORTS a. City Council Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission MirxRes - March 9, 1994 Page 4 Councilman Smalley reported on agenda items including: awarding a Fuel Service bid to Doyle's Fuel; awarding a Contract for Telemetry System to Airtek; and, transferring _ money for Mission Street Improvement project for additional engineering design cost. Smalley also explained that the Council wished to seat the Historic Board but upon further review realized that a large percentage of applicants lived outside city limits. This item will be discussed at the next Council meeting. b. Borough Planning Bryson reported there were no items germane to the city. One item "Shipwrecks and Rats" had to do with the eradication and control of rats on off -shore islands. c. Administration La Shot said there are several building projects tentatively scheduled for spring. Peninsula Counseling Center is seeking a grant for a new office building; there are several churches seeking to expand; the old courthouse is being renovated for offices; the old Cares Mail may be getting a face lift, with office buildins facing the Spur; and there may be a new car wash. 10. PERSONS PRESENT NOT SCREDULED 11. INFORMATION ITEMS 12. CO 'ION COMMENTS dk QUESTIONS Bryson wished to bring to the Commission's attention a Bill which would allow tax forgiveness for habitat improvement by residents along the Kenai River. He is concerned that this would raise the taxes for city and Borough residents. La Shot said this had been a discussion item at the last meeting of the Kenai River Special Management Board. Suggestions have been made to State officials to expand the bill to include the entire state. Any improvements must be reviewed by State Fish & Game to qualify for tax credit. 13.

ROLL CALL Members present: Nina Selby, Loretta Breeden, Sylvia Johnson, Gerry Sparks, Jeanene Benedict, Delilah Langenhuizen Absent: Pauline Goecke Also Present: Sharon Williams, Bob Frates, Loretta Harvey 2. APPROVAL OF AGENDA Chairman Sparks requested that item 5 g. Duplication of Council Representation be stricken from the agenda. She also requested item 5 a. Purchasing Seeds - Merle Dean Feldman be moved to the bottom of the agenda to give Feldman time to get to the meeting. Agenda approved as amended. 3. APPROVAL OF MINUTES - February 8, 1994 Loretta Breeden noted the memo which had been included in the packet. It was intended for the Chairman and Parks and Rec only. She was concerned that Washburn's address was included, since she feels it is very important to buy locally whenever possible. Selby MOVED approval of minutes. Langenhuizen SECONDED. Minutes were approved as presented. 4. OLD BUSINESS a. Information on City Greenhouse Sparks had spoken to Dan Lucas of the Cooperative Extension and he had given her some good information. She presented several books which contained greenhouses for the committee's review. Also Aby Ala, may have advice in building greenhouses, since they had recently received a grant to build some on Strawberry Road. KENAI BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE March 8, 1994 Page 1 Sylvia Johnson, reported that she had discussed the possibility of locating the greenhouse next to the senior housing and had met with a negative response. It is hoped that the housing may be expanded in the future. Suggestions were made about placing the greenhouse on the Daubenspeck property or in the fenced area by the FAA antennae. Bob Frates, Parks and Rec, felt that the size and cost should be considered before s location is sought. Breeden said the greenhouse should be approximately 20 feet long and wide enough to place two rows of flats down each side of the building (15-20 feet). If the greenhouse was connected to another building, as discussed earlier, it should be located on the south or southwest side and should have a good air circulation system to prevent plant rot. Frates said he would check into the possibility of a greenhouse connected to the warm storage building in the city shop area. b. Recommendations for Rose -Lilac, Flower Donation Fund Sparks had prepared a list of shrubs, roses and lilacs to be ordered. She had contacted area greenhouses and very few of these plants would be available locally. She was going to call Washburn's after talking to Bob Frates and put in the order. Breeden said that Washburn may not be filling orders on the Peninsula this year. Sparks called Washburn. They can not fill the Beautification order. Breeden suggested Tryck or Dearmoun Nurseries in Anchorage for plants that can't be purchased locally. Sparks said Bobby Jackson could supply the Sitka Rose, White Altai and Helen Bland. 5. NEW BUSINESS a. Summer Help - Bob Frates Sparks reported that the Parks and Rec Department has asked that the City crews work side by side with volunteers in weeding the beds this year. The Committee thought this was a good idea. They will hopefully be setting a weeding schedule, which should assure that all beds are covered. Sparks suggested that perhaps committee members could each be responsible for maintenance of specific beds. b. Flower Beds for Kenai Fine Arts Center and Historical Society Building - Visitor Center Sparks reported that both of the Fine Arts and Historical Society have requested flower beds for the upcoming season. They had been overlooked in last year's effort and since they were city property it would be appropriate to plant flowers there. The Bicentennial KENAI BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE March 8, 1994 Page 2 center (KBVCC) had trouble with their flowers and wanted help in planting their front beds. After discussion the Committee decided they would plant beds at the Fine Arts and Historical Society Building. Sue Carter, KBVCC Director, will be contacted to determine what exactly she wants at the center. Loretta Breeden said a friend, Maryann Tweedy, wanted to donate a rose toward the City's beautification efforts. She presented pictures of Louie Nissan's rose which had been brought from Russia by the early settlers. She thought it would be nice to plant it at the Bicentennial Building, right across from where he lived for years. Sue Carter had been contacted and she thought this was a great idea. Breeden would like to have a planting ceremony and perhaps have the Clarion do an article. Benedict recommended the City make a plaque to commemorate the rose as part of Kenai's history. C. Planter Boxes Frates reported that Trinity was no longer willing to maintain the City's planter boxes. There are 50 boxes which require 13 plants per box, so there are approximately 650 plants needed for the boxes. Sparks said she thought Merle Dean Feldman may have ordered plants for the boxes and perhaps the committee could help plant them. Frates said that Feldman had mentioned doing the boxes at one time, but they would have to be stored in the warm storage building and there is no room. Breeden thought it was too much for the committee to undertake, she felt the city should plant and maintain the boxes. MOTION: Breeden MOVED that the City take care of the flower boxes. NO SECOND. Motion dies for lack of a second. Sparks had talked to Mayor Williams about reimbursing Feldman for seeds. Williams said it would be best to purchase seedlings from Feldman with a purchase order from the city. d. Bernie Huss Trail Sparks asked Frates if the Beautification Committee needed to take action on cleaning up the trail. Frates believed that the City had decided to replace the fence between the trail and Carrs, and there was no further action needed at this time. KENAI BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE March 8, 1994 Page 3 - e. Volunteers Sparks said she would be sending letters to the volunteers from the previous year and also contacting local service organizations and businesses who may wish to participate. Perhaps these entities would like to adopt a flower bed or box and plaques could be erected to identify the groups efforts. Jeanene Benedict reported that part of the problem volunteers had last year was finding time to participate around their children's schedule. Breeden recommended certain times be established for bed maintenance, which would help people plan better. Williams recommended that the Chamber Chatter cant' an article requesting volunteers and contain a schedule for maintaining beds. Purchasing of Seeds - Merle Dean Feldman Feldman arrived and reported that she had ordered lots of seeds and begun planting the seedlings. She hadn't ordered seeds for planter boxes as she was under the impression that the city would take care of all the boxes. Feldman invited the committee to meet at her home at a later time to plan beds at the end of Lief Hansen Park, the airport triangle and other areas. She also requested that people look for leaves, which will be used in the soil. Last year she provided 20,000 flowers to the city, 3,000 in each planted mound. She was very excited about working with the committee again this year. 6. INFORMATION a. Wrap-up of 1993 Season Parks Department Accomplishments 7. COMMISSIONERS COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS 8.

MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED for approval of Resolution No. 94-9 and Councilman Measles SECONDED the motion. There were no public comments. Kornelis pointed out this bid is for the equipment only. There will be another bid and award for the installation of the system. Kornelis referred to a Bid Summary from Alan Houtz, the City's consultant, which was included in the packet. Kornelis stated there may be a change order later to substitute another transducer. The cost may be more expensive. Councilwoman Swarner asked if Air Tek will be given the contract for the installation. Kornelis stated no, the installation portion will go to bid. Swarner asked if the same bidders will bid. Kornelis stated he did not know. Swarner asked when the system will be installed. Houtz, who was in the audience, stated the schedule calls for the bid in May and the award in late June (at the last council meeting). Houtz added the job is being coordinated with the Thompson Park sewer extension work. The installation will be a part of the construction bid. It is hoped the work will be completed in early September. Williams asked Kornelis if he was comfortable with the difference between the bid amounts. Kornelis deferred to Houtz. Houtz stated there were three close bids. They were all higher than his estimate. The lower bid (Air Tek) was lower than his estimate. Houtz added he has communicated to Air Tek their concern about the difference in the bid amounts. Houtz stated he asked Air Tek if they were taking any exceptions to the specifications. Air Tek stated no. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 2, 1994 PAGE 4 Houtz discussed the transducer. One has been tested at Inlet Woods and they are happy with its performance. The specifications did not insist on one kind of transducer. Air Tek has proposed to use another make of transducer. They are waiting for detailed specifications and references. The specifications do allow for them to insist on the tested transducer. If Air Tek is directed to use the make of the tested transducer, there will be an added cost of approximately $8,700. Houtz stated he and the City have previously done business with Air Tek. Air Tek has built installations for the City. Houtz stated he believes Air Tek to be competent and it is a legitimate bid. Kornelis stated payment for the equipment and installation will come from the sewer/water, Sewer Treatment Plant and Thompson Park Interceptor accounts.

Approved by consent agenda. ITEM F: CORRESPONDENCE None. ITEM G: OLD BUSINESS G-1. Discussion - Kenai Spur Highway Project - Additional Street Lights. City Manager Manninen reported a meeting with DOT and Mr. Horn took place approximately three weeks ago. A letter was received KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 2, 1994 PAGE 8 after the meeting from Commissioner Campbell which stated the State would place the 24 lights originally included in the plans for this highway project. The State will pay for the installation and the operations and maintenance of these lights. At that time, Horn indicated if Council wanted any additional lights placed, the installation would be paid for with ISTEA funds. Manninen referred to a memorandum included in the packet from Public Works Director Kornelis who stated staff did not recommend any additional lights be placed between Davidson and Candlelight. Manninen stated if Council wished to have additional lights placed, they should inform Administration. However, the installation and operation of the lights would be at the city's cost. Monfor stated she requested Chief Burnett and Chief Morris to review the plans and accident reports and make a recommendation of whether they felt additional lights needed to be installed. Monfor added she had a telephone conversation that day in which the caller requested she ask Council to discuss the possible placement of an overhead walkway placed at Swires. This would enable children who walk to school to cross the four -lane highway safely. Monfor stated she had not checked with the School District as to how many walkers there are, etc. Monfor asked Kornelis if he felt there should be additional lights placed. Smalley stated that during the last meeting, he mentioned his concern of accidents which have occurred near two roadways (Davidson/Candlelight). Smalley added in reviewing the information included in Kornelis' memorandum and that Chiefs Burnett and Morris do not recommend additional lights, he was satisfied no additional lights are needed. No further discussion. ITEM H: NEW BUSINESS H-1. Bills to be Paid, Bills to be Ratified MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED to pay the bills and Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion and requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. There were no objections.

Discussion - Kenai River Viewing Area Park. Williams referred to the information included in the packet in regard to this proposed park. Williams stated he remembered concern of Council as to the cost of construction of the park. At the time it was discussed, there was hope of using prison help. However, that can no longer be done. Williams stated Council discussed the park at their goals and objectives work session and Administration was directed to forward suggestions of whether to continue or not. Bookey stated the park was discussed before his election. Bookey asked who the park is to serve, i.e. what segment of the public. Williams answered when originally discussed, the park was to have a dump site for use by recreational vehicles. The park was to serve the traveling public and city residents. The park would add recreational facilities for the city and complement the Senior Center. This site was chosen because of the view and esthetics. Now there is concern of liability at that site due to the cliff, etc. Swarner stated she did not like to send back money, but believes it would take more than $88,000 on the City's part to build the park. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 2, 1994 PAGE 10 MOTION: Councilwoman Swarner MOVED to rescind council action and let the $88,000 grant lapse. Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion. Measles stated the grant does not expire until the end of the year. Measles questioned why make the decision now. Manninen stated an extension of the grant can be requested. Measles suggested waiting until closer to the end of the expiration time and bring the discussion back to council to make a decision. Circumstances may change between now and then. MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED to table the discussion with no time certain. Manninen asked if Administration should request an extension now so that the grant does not lapse. Measles suggested a date be placed on the motion to table. Measles suggested the first meeting in September. MOTION CONTINUED: Smalley changed the "no time certain" to the "first meeting in September." Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. BREAK: 7:44 P.M. BACK TO ORDER: 8:02 P.M. H-6. Discussion - Historic District Board Appointments. Williams suggested the following to be appointed to the Historic District Board: Dorothy McCard Sharlene Rooker Alan Boraass Karen Mahurin Roger Meeks Jim Arness Rosie Murphy A long discussion followed. Smalley stated concern that the native community was not represented. Monfor stated it would be with the appointment of Rooker. Attorney Graves stated five of the seven must live in the city. Bannock stated his concern to KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 2, 1994 PAGE 11 appoint Arness due to the comment Arness had made on his application. Williams stated regardless of the remark, Arness has the best of interest in mind. Williams reported a letter and application were sent to Boraas, but no reply has been received as yet. Monfor stated Diane Rathman would be excellent due to her background. Monfor added she also lives in the city. It was suggested Bannock be the Ad Hoc Council representative. Smalley asked who would represent the archeological requirement if Boraas does not wish to participate. Williams referred to the portion of the Code stating "to the extent available." Smalley suggested the application added to the agenda at the beginning of the meeting from Mr. Malanaphy who has had some experience in historic districts. Smalley added he is available and has made application for the appointment, but lives outside the city. Williams stated the Orthodox Church requested representation on the Board and because of that, he suggested McCard and Arness. Smalley referred to remarks made by McCard on her application where she mentioned the Board would be a "decision -making body." Smalley asked to what extent does McCard think it will be a decision -making body. Williams stated items having to do with the Historic District will go before the Board prior to the Planning & Zoning Commission. Williams added he believed the Commission would look at the Board's recommendations with favorable concern. Bannock and Smalley disagreed. Williams stated he does not want a board which will work with consternation, but will work closely with the Commission. Bannock suggested those were good goals, but pointed out that Mr. Meeks is the only one of the applicants who spoke in favor of the ordinance as it is today. The others are already at odds with the Commission. Bannock added his disappointment that aside from Mr. Meeks, there were no other property owners of the historic area who have applied for appointment to the board. Monfor stated in response to Smalley and Bannock's remarks that the number of times the Board will meet will not be extensive. Monfor added these people did come forward and apply. Monfor stated she believed they can work together. Smalley stated he did not disagree with Monfor, but was concerned that four of the applicants Williams suggested live outside the city. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 2, 1994 PAGE 12 Williams made a second suggestion: Arness Murphy McCard Mahurin Meeks Rathman Smalley suggested Malanaphy because of his experience. Graves suggested they move to have nine members on the board. That would allow for six residents and three from out-of-town. Monfor suggested Scott Rathman be placed. Williams stated the Rathman's have not been city residents for very long. Smalley again suggested Malanaphy due to his experience. Williams stated he lives outside the city. Bannock agreed with Smalley and recommended Malanaphy in place of Arness. Bookey disagreed because Arness is a property owner in Old Town and has been involved in the Townsite Historic discussions from the beginning. Williams suggested they try to get Boraas to participate. If he does not want to, then they can substitute with Malanaphy. Williams suggested the board would have one more out -of -city member, but thought things would settle into place. Measles disagreed. With too many from out of the city would be outside of the ordinance from the beginning. Graves added anything done by the board could be challenged if the proportion was not correct. Smalley referred to the statement in the Code, "to the extent available." Smalley stated it appeared to the extent available Malanaphy has more criteria than the others. Boraas has not come forward, but Malanaphy has. Graves stated there were not enough local people. Anything done by a Board with these members, could be challenged. Williams suggested appointing the following at this meeting and making the seventh appointment at the next meeting: Meeks Rathman Measles stated none will be represented be in the group. Murphy McCard Mahurin Arness of the disciplines required by the ordinance with that group. Boraas or Malanaphy need to Monfor suggested not appointing any members at this meeting. Monfor suggested waiting until the next meeting and hope an KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 2, 1994 PAGE 13 application will come in from Boraas. Monfor suggested Ethel Clausen, a city resident, also put in an application. Council decided to place the discussion on the agenda for the next meeting at which time appointments will be made. H-7. Discussion - Mission Street Paving Project. Discussed at Item C-8. ITEM I: ADMINISTRATION REPORTS I-1. Mayor Williams gave an overview of his vacation. I-2. City Manager Manninen referred to a confidential letter distributed to Council prior to the meeting regarding the HEA litigation. Manninen requested direction from Council whether to proceed as outlined or not. MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED that city administration and attorney proceed as outlined in the memorandum. Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion. Williams asked Council if they wished to have an executive session to discuss the matter. Measles stated he would. WITHDRAWAL OF MOTION: Councilman Smalley withdrew his motion with the consent of Councilwoman Swarner. I-3. Attorney No report. I-4. City Clerk Freas referred to her memorandum (included in the packet) in regard to the second goals and objectives workshop. Freas KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 2, 1994 PAGE 14 requested a formal scheduling of the workshop, along with direction as to whether department heads needed to attend, etc. Council scheduled the second goals and objectives workshop for March 26, 1994. The workshop is to begin at 9:00 a.m. Department heads were invited to attend, but were told it is not necessary or mandatory. Lunch is to be supplied similar to the first workshop. Manninen reported Mr. Alvarez would not be able to attend. However, Manninen stated he has asked Karen Van Horn to facilitate the workshop. I-5. Finance Director Acting Finance Director Feltman reported the department heads have submitted their budget requests. Feltman added she is compiling the requests for review by Finance Director Brown upon his return. I-6. Public Works Director Kornelis reported on a leachate study. Kornelis a.dded the contractor is continuing work on the interceptor line. Kornelis reported Bob Bears, the Sewer Treatment Plant superintendent has resigned. Jerry Allen has been appointed as superintendent. Allen will began work in that capacity on March 1, 1994. I-7. Airport Manager Airport Manager Ernst stated he wanted to clarify information included in the Airport Commission work session notes. Ernst said the notes stated he was awaiting a letter from the FAA in regard to the car rental agency lease renewals. Ernst stated he has received the letter from the FAA saying they had no objections to the City not going out for bid on car rental agencies. Since then, Payless Car Rental has been certified as a DBE. The FAA was pleased to hear that. Because of this, the City has reached the necessary percentage of DBEs and it will not be necessary for lease bids. The present leases can be rolled over. Ernst stated they will be adding some phrasing regarding the DBE requirements in the new contracts. The present contracts would KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 2, 1994 PAGE 15 have expired June 30, 1994. With the roll-over, the leases will be for an additional five years. The new expiration date will be June 30, 1999. Ernst reported they are also investigating the bidding of the contracts (in 1999) in December (of 1998) so that the awardees will know by December if their leases have been renewed. This will help them in knowing whether to order cars, etc. The effective date of the 1999 leases will be July 1. MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED to convene in an executive session of the Council of the City of Kenai, the immediate knowledge of which would clearly have an adverse effect upon the finances of the City of Kenai. Smalley requested City Manager Manninen and City Attorney Graves to be present. Councilman Bannock SECONDED the motion and requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. Councilwoman Swarner objected to the request for unanimous consent. VOTE: Swarner: No Bannock: Yes Bookey: Yes Monf or : Yes Smalley: Yes EXECUTIVE SESSION BREAK: 8:44 P.M. BACK TO ORDER: 9:06 P.M. Measles: Yes Williams: Yes Councilman Measles reported during the executive session the Council and Administration discussed the ongoing litigation with HEA and instructed the Administration to proceed with the direction given to them in the executive session. ITEM J: DISCUSSION J-1. Citizens None. J-2. Council Bookey - No report. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 2, 1994 PAGE 16 Swarner - Stated she has been contacted about the cars parked in front of the Katmai and the car (with the sign on the roof) parked in front of the photo store along the highway. Swarner referred to the Planning & Zoning Commission minutes in which they were discussed. Swarner asked what the progress was on the item. Manninen stated he contacted the Police Department a week ago. Manninen stated he would look into it. Monfor - a. Flags - Requested the frayed city, state and U.S. flags be replaced with new flags. b. RPC Editorial - Monfor stated she was offended by the editorial printed in the Peninsula Clarion regarding the City's ladder fire truck which was written by a student from Kenai Peninsula College. Monfor added she was offended because the City has given $1 million to the Fire Training School and has bent over backward to support the Fire Training School. Williams stated he felt the article was written as a student's perspective. Williams added the Fire Training School basically stands on its own. Williams added he has requested Chief Burnett to join him on a radio talk show to discuss the participation of the fire department in the community. C. Snow Berms - Monfor requested the snow berms be knocked down at street corners to give better visibility. Measles - a. EPA Regulations - Measles stated he had wanted to discuss new EPA regulations soon to become effective regarding MPDES "O" discharge permits. Measles added the regulations will affect anyone with a MPDES permit. The "O" discharge law could shut down 13 of the Inlet platforms and could also shut down the City's sewer treatment plant. Measles added he believed the only way to slow the EPA down is for a lot of industries to file many lawsuits to keep the EPA busy in the courts. Bannock - a. Oil Edition - Bannock stated he appreciated the Peninsula Clarion's special oil industry edition printed a short time ago. Bannock added it is unfortunate that a "special" had to be run to say what effect the oil industry has to the community. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 2, 1994 PAGE 17 Smalley - a. Fire Truck Editorial - Smalley stated he agreed with the Councilwoman Monfor's assessment of the editorial regarding the fire truck. b. Comments - Smalley stated while he attended a meeting in Las Vegas he met people who had visited Kenai last summer and are planning another trip this summer. They had positive things to say about our community. C. Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting - Smalley thanked Councilman Bannock for attending the P&Z meeting for him during his absence. Williams - a. Brady Bill - Williams asked if Alaska has been exempted from the Brady bill. Answer was no. Williams added some police departments in the states are charging a fee to run the search. Manninen stated the Kenai Police Department is considering charging a fee. Measles stated it could mean adding a position to handle the searches. b. Recreation Center Price List - Williams stated he had some concern regarding the $1.00 fee per team for using the courts. Councilwoman Monfor requested the price sheet be upgraded. Manninen stated he would take care of it. C. Kenai Peninsula Caucus - Williams referred to a copy of the bill for 1993/94 membership dues included in the packet as an information item. Williams stated $950 was budgeted, however the bill was for $980. Williams asked the Council if they wished to pay the dues. Measles suggested they not be paid. Discussion followed regarding the budgeting of the dues and whether they were paid last year. Clerk Freas stated she reviewed copies of purchase orders and found no payment to the Caucus for last year's dues. Freas stated last year, Council decided not to pay them. Borough Assemblyman Torgerson spoke to the Council in regard to the Caucus. Council then included the dues in their budget for 1993/94. Monfor stated they included the dues in their budget but were going to discuss it. Smalley asked if anyone was participating in the meetings. Williams stated yes, he and Manninen have attended meetings. Measles asked what the Caucus has accomplished for the city. Williams stated they had many highway discussions, supported the Fire Training School, the Senior Center, etc. Williams stated if you are not represented, other areas will receive the support. Williams used as an example the proposed Funny River Bridge. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 2, 1994 PAGE 18 Referring to the highway support, Measles stated the construction was delayed five years and the scope is smaller. Measles added the bridge will be built with or without the Caucus' support. Measles stated he has concerns with regard to the Caucus and the AML. Measles added he believed AML was breaking apart and they should let it fall. Swarner stated she thought the City should not be a member of the Caucus and the bill should be sent back. Measles stated that since it is the middle of the year and the City has participated, the City probably owes the dues. Smalley agreed, but added Council should discuss this in the future. NOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED to pay the bill and add the additional $30.00 so that the City will be in compliance for this year only. Councilman Bannock SECONDED he motion. There were no objections. 80 ORDERED. d. Borough Government - Williams stated he has been reviewing the Borough government. Williams added he has some deep concerns in regard to the Borough's finances and how they will effect the City. Williams stated he was concerned there will be a large Borough tax increase.

OF KENAI 210 Fidalgo Avenue Kenai, AK 99611 Dear Mr. Manninen: We have reviewed your application for the City of Kenai to become a Certified Local Government (CLG). Once the following items are completed and the State Historic Preservation Officer determines that the City is eligible for certification, the application package will be sent to the National Park Service: • Outline of process for reviewing local projects (example enclosed). • Outline of historic preservation plan (examples from Fairbanks and Seward enclosed). • Appointing commission members and sending in their resumes. If you have difficulty in finding professional members, provide written information demonstrating attempts to seek qualified professionals such as copies of newspaper notices and letters to the Kenai Peninsula College. If you are unable to fill the professional positions, you may have consultants to call on as needed for archaeological, historical or architectural review of appropriate projects. For example, the City's of Unalaska and Seward use Steve Peterson, architect with the National Park Service in Anchorage, as a consultant. Upon CLG certification, the City of Kenai is eligible to receive historic preservation grant funds (see enclosed brochure). The FY'94 deadline for submitting Letters of Intent was September 30, however, we expect to see a second round of grant applications after the Alaska Historical Commjssion February/March meeting. At that time, CLG's will be contacted and given an opportunity to apply. Approximately $40,000 is available for FY'94 CLG grant finds. This amount has been consistent for several years. This year the State board's priorities include: (1) Proposals to complete projects begun with CLG grant assistance, (2) local historic preservation planning projects, (3) survey and Thomas J. Manninen Page 2 inventory projects, (4) National Register of Historic Places nominations, and (5) heritage education projects. Letters of Intent for FY'95 grants will be due July/August 1994. Our staff is available to review draft proposals. You may wish to discuss the Heritage Village proposal with Russ Sackett, Architectural Historian, who can be reached at 762-2633. Please give me a call if I can be of further assistance. Sincerely, is vl-r Jane Clemens Historian/CLG Coordinator enclosures %e) Home Occupations: Uses as allowed by- this chapter.

Smalley stated concern that the native community was not represented. Monfor stated it would be - the seven must live in the city. Bannock stated his concern to. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 2, 1994 PAGE 11 appoint Arness due to the comment Arness had made on his application. Williams stated regardless of the remark, Arness has the best of interest in mind. Williams reported a letter and application were sent to Boraas, but no reply has been received as yet. Monfor stated Diane Rathman would be excellent due to her background. Monfor added she also lives in the city. It -was suggested Bannock be the Ad Hoc Council representative. Smalley asked who would represent the archeological requirement if Boraas does not wish to participate. Williams referred to the portion of the Code stating "to the extent available." Smalley suggested the application added to the agenda at the beginning of the meeting from Mr. Malanaphy who has had some experience in historic districts. Smalley added he is available and has made I application for the appointment, but lives outside the city. 1 Williams stated the orthodox Church requested representation on the Board and because of that, he suggested McCard and Arness. Smalley referred to remarks made by McCard on her application where she mentioned the Board would be a "decision -making body." Smalley asked to what extent does McCard think it will be a decision -making body. Williams stated items having to do with the Historic District will go before the Board prior to the Planning & Zoning Commission. Williams added he believed the Commission would look at the Board's recommendations with favorable concern. Bannock and Smalley disagreed. Williams stated he does not want a board which will work with consternation, but will work closely with the Commission. Bannock suggested those were good goals, but pointed out that Mr: Meeks is the only one of the applicants who spoke in favor of the ordinance as it is today. The others are already at odds with the Commission. Bannock added his disappointment that aside from Mr. Meeks, there were no other property owners of the historic area who have applied for appointment to the board. Monfor stated in response to Smalley and Bannock's remarks that the number of times the Board will meet will not be extensive. Monfor added these people did come forward and apply. Monfor stated she believed they can work together. Smalley stated he ,y.. ..,. .a oayi cc uul. was �oncerneu k-tiar- Lour UL Gne applicants Williams suggested live outside the city. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 2, 1994 PAGE 12 Williams made a second suggestion: Arness Murphy McCard Mahurin Meeks Rathman Smalley suggested Malanaphy because of his experience. Graves suggested they move to have nine members on -the board. That would allow for six residents and three from out-of-town. Monfor-- suggested Scott Rathman be placed. Williams stated the Rathman's-- have not been city residents for very long. Smalley again suggested Malanaphy due to his experience. Williams stated he- lives outside the city. Bannock agreed with Smalley and recommended Malanaphy in -place _of: Arness. Bookey disagreed because Arness is a property owner in -- Old Town and has been involved in the Townsite Historic discussions from the beginning. Williams suggested they try to got-Boraas to -participate. If_hoe does not want -to, then they can substitute with Malanaphy. Williams suggested the board would have one more out -of -city member, but thought things would settle into place. Measles disagreed. With too many from out of the city would be outside. of the ordinance from the beginning. Graves added anything done_ by the board could be challenged if the proportion was not correct. Smalley referred to the statement in the Code, "to the extent available." Smalley stated it -appeared to the extent available Malanaphy has more criteria than the others. Boraas has not come - forward, but Malanaphy has. Graves stated there were not enough - local people. Anything done by a Board with these members, could_ be challenged. Williams suggested appointing the following at this meeting and making the seventh appointment at -the next -meeting: Meeks Rathman Measles stated none will be represented be -in the group. Murphy McCard Mahurin Arness of the disciplines required by the ordinance_ with that group. Boraas or-Malanaphy need to Mont or suggested not appointing any members at -this meeting. Monfor suggested waiting until the next meeting and hope an KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 2, 1994 PAGE 13 application will come in from Boraas. Monfor suggested Ethel Clausen, a city resident, also put in an application. Council decided to place the discussion on the agenda for the next meeting at which time appointments will be made. H-7.

Brenda - Pilgrim Advertising Brenda Pilgrim presented an advertising proposal which would include a poster contest (attached). A statewide campaign would be launched for artwork which could be used to produce a poster advertising the floatplane basin. The only stipulation would be the artist must own and operate a floatplane. The winner would receive a free floatplane slip in 1995, and also 50% of the poster proceeds. The remaining 50% would fund the following year's contest. Estimated total cost would be $3,832.96. Chairman Bill Toppa said it was a great idea. Ron Holloway agreed but felt the contest should not be limited to floatplane owners. Kenai Airport Commission March 10, 1994 - Meeting Page 1 Airport Manager Randy Ernst reported that the advertising budget left for '94 was $1,200.00. He had budgeted $5,000.00 for FY95. He would like to see the 194 advertising effort begin in late April or early May. There had been past discussions considering giving the slips away in 1994, this would require a recommendation from the Commission and Council approval. MOTION: Holloway MOVED to recommend to Council that the 25 Flostplane Slips be -given away free for the 1994 season. Dianne Smith SECONDED. PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. Toppa wanted the full commission to review the advertising proposal before a decision was made. He recommended that a committee be created at the next meeting to work with Brenda on the poster contest idea if the commission concurs. Ernst said he would contact Brenda after the March 16th Council meeting. If the Council agrees to give free rental of the floatplane slips that can be incorporated into the '94 advertising campaign. Brenda said she would also contact newspapers statewide by letter, to see if they would do articles on the free slips. 4. APPROVAL OF MINUTES a.

There will also be some verbiage added to the leases to clarify the Disadvantaged Business Enterprises DBE issue. Holloway said that Thibodeau was working to prove that the Civil Airport Patrol (CAP), facility is not used exclusively by the CAP. He is compiling a list of users to submit to the FAA for funds to extend the runway to the CAP building.

Manninen, City Manager FROM: 2 David C. Burnett, Fire Chief DATE: March 2, 1994 SUBJECT: KENAI FIRE DEPARTMENT - 1993 ACTIVITY REPORT Ali-' KENAI The department saw many changes during 1993, beginning with the retirement of 20-year veteran, Battalion Chief Richard A. McGrady. The Battalion Chief/Training Officer position was then filled from within the department. On July 1, 1993 the City funded a Fire Marshal position for the department which was also filled from within. All this resulted in two entry level positions becoming open which were filled by the hiring of one Firefighter/EMT III and one Firefighter/Paramedic. 1993 concluded with a total of 829 emergency responses.

It is the opinion of this Department that the decrease in structural fire losses can be credited to some degree to our aggressive fire inspection and public fire education programs. THREE YEAR DOLLAR LOSS COMPARISON 1993 1992 1991 AMOUNT $67.675 $96,500 $83,950 The City of Kenai experienced the first fire fatality since 1981 during 1993. No injuries by fire were sustained in 1993 compared to four (4) in 1992. Kenai Fire Department 1993 Activity Report Page 2 THREE YEAR INVESTIGATION COMPARISON 1993 1992 1991 FIRE INVESTIGATIONS 81 55 55 ARSON INVESTIGATIONS 7 15 7 INSPECTION PROGRAM A total of 95 fire and life safety inspections were completed. There were 78 subsequent follow-up inspections conducted for compliance and 46 notices of violation were issued with a total of 96 deficiencies corrected. Three pending deficiencies were carried over into 1994. Approximately 320 total man hours were spent on the inspection program. A total of 352 burn permits were issued. The Chimney Brush Program was used five times during 1993 and eleven official complaints were received that required action by this office. Seven plan reviews were conducted in 1993, in cooperation with the City Building Official and the State Fire Marshal's office. PUBLIC FIRE EDUCATION 1993 saw the introduction of the Kenai Fire Safety House into the Fire Prevention Program at Sears, Mt. View, and at local day care centers. Fire Prevention during October and November consisted of Fire Prevention classes conducted for kindergarten through sixth grade, including private schools, and for the entire Kenai Central High School student body. Our Fire Prevention team spoke to a total audience of 4,332 in 1993. 1993 saw 182 Fire Prevention classes conducted. A total of 41 fire station tours were given. A total of 289 man hours were dedicated to Public Fire Prevention Education for the year. 1993 TRAINING SUMMARY Department personnel spent 5,506 hours on fire training, 5,382 hours on EMS training, and 422.5 hours on aircraft rescue fire fighting training for a total of 11,310.5 hours of training during 1993. Department personnel spent approximately 274 hours on training for the required airport disaster drill conducted November 8, 1993. City personnel involved included Fire, Police, Dispatch, Airport, Kenai Fire Department 1993 Activity Report Page 3 Public Works and City Administration. This exercise resulted in updating the departments Airport Disaster Plan as well as the departments preparedness. In addition to classroom and field training that is conducted on a daily basis on assigned subjects, formal training provided at the department that was attended by all shift personnel included Professional Rescuer CPR recertification, Air Medical Safety Procedures training, Advanced Cardiac Life Support, Emergency Medical Technician II and III refresher course, and Hazardous Materials Operations Level training. It should be noted that the majority of the foregoing training was required in order to keep the Department in compliance with federal and/or state mandates to maintain required certifications. To supplement our training and keep up with the latest developments in training and equipment, personnel also attended 420 hours of formal training conducted outside of the department. In 1994 the Training Division anticipates not only continuing the current level of training but increasing its hours with programs in physical fitness, confined space entry, aerial apparatus training. These new subjects are the results of new mandated programs and newly acquired equipment.

Manninen L: City Manager FROM: Daniel L. Morris CITY ADMIN. OF KENAI Chief of Police DATE: February 10, 1994 SUBJECT: 1993 Police Activities Report Attached is the Annual Report for Police Activities in 1993. The report includes the three year periods from 1991-1993 for compar- ison purposes. There were minor changes between 1992 and 1993. As a result, no changes are planned for enforcement priorities in 1994. Alloca- tion of man-hours to patrol and investigations will remain un- changed unless activities or criminal offenses require other- wise. DLM:lrr REQUESTS FOR POLICE SERVICES/INVESTIGATIONS In 1993 requests for Police Services increased by a fraction of a percent over 1992. Reported criminal offenses in 1993 represent- ed 42.5% of total requests for services. This is slightly higher than percentages in prior years. Service Requests 1991 1992 1993 5701 6281 6328 CRIMINAL OFFENSES Statistics for criminal offenses are separated into three catego- ries. These categories correspond to the system used by the State of Alaska and the Federal Uniform Crime Reporting System (UCR). Part I Offenses: homicide, rape, robbery, assaults, bur- glary, larceny, and vehicle theft. 1991 1992 1993 588 630 760 The majority of the Part I crimes investigated in 1993 were property crimes. There was a 20% increase in Part I crimes between 1992 and 1993. An increase in larceny cases is partially due to arrests at K-Mart and Carr's for shoplift- ing. Both stores employ security officers. Reported rapes can vary drastically by percentage from year to year. Part II Offenses: arson, fraud, vandalism other sex offens- es, drugs, DWI, and disorderly conduct. 1991 1992 1993 1275 1394 1452 There was a 4% increase in Part II crimes between 1992 and 1993. This category of offenses represents over half of all reported crime. Part III Offenses: criminal traffic offenses (except DWI), and warrants. 1991 1992 1993 439 472 480 As noted above, there was very little change in this catego- ry. The total reported crime in 1993 was 7.8% higher than 1992. (See Table 1 for criminal offenses.) ARRESTS Table 2 reflects the number of arrests and category of crime. Arrests are included as a matter of interest. Arrests are not always an accurate measure of activity for the following reasons: 1. One arrest can clear multiple offenses. 2. Multiple arrests can clear one case. 3. Warrants issued for an offense committed in Kenai and served in another jurisdiction are not counted. 4. Warrant arrests made by Kenai Police for offenses elsewhere are included in the Part III category. In 1993 there were 1183 arrests. Of that total, 221 were juve- niles. Juveniles accounted for half of the burglary arrests, half of all vandalism arrests, 13% of drug arrests, 57% of all larceny/theft arrests, 33% of liquor law violations, and all arson arrests. TRAFFIC COLLISIONS In 1993 there were 299 traffic collisions as compared to 302 in 1992. There were 78 injuries in 1993 and 81 in 1992. The number of collisions reported year to year can be significantly impacted by weather and road conditions. There has not been a great increase in collisions near the K- Mart and Carr's stores on the Spur Highway. Although there is an obvious increase in the volume of traffic for that area, most people have adapted to the traffic flow. One fatal collision occurred last year resulting in two deaths on K-Beach Road at Bridge Access Road. TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT Traffic Contacts 1991 1992 1993 Verbal warnings 3739 2920 3227 Citations 817 784 924 DWI 152 133 165 Other traffic arrests 249 258 251 (reckless driving, hit & run, suspended license) Total enforcement contacts 4957 4095 4567 COMMUNITY PROGRAMS Crimestoppers The Crimestoppers program continues to be an effective community public safety program. The civilian board of directors operate the program to assist law enforcement in solving felony crimes and publicizing unsolved crimes. The Department supports the program through a police coordinator, telephone operation, and records maintenance. The program is now in its tenth year of operation. During the previous two years Alascom has donated a toll -free number to Crimestoppers which has added the lower Kenai Peninsula to the program. Business Watch In cooperation with the Kenai Chamber of Commerce, a Business Watch program has provided a means of communicating with the local businesses in a timely manner through the use of a facsimi- le machine. A fax machine with multi -addressing capability was donated to the Chamber by PTI. The Police Department provides information to local businesses via fax alerting them to current crimes which may affect their business. They, in turn, can provide us information about criminal activity. Approximately 60 businesses currently participate in the program. D.A.R.E The Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) program continues to receive support from the children, parents, teachers, and administrators involved in the program. The Youth Services officer presents the program to five 5th grade classes at Moun- tain View Elementary School. The program teaches the children how to resist drugs and other illegal activity. Approximately 25 to 30 percent of the Youth Services officer's time is spent with the D.A.R.E. program. Police Explorers In 1993 the Kenai Chapter of the Alaska Peace Officers Associa- tion started a Police Explorers program in cooperation with the Boy Scouts. Local high school students interested in law en- forcement careers participate in the program. Officers from the Kenai and Soldotna Police Departments and the Alaska State Troopers provide the training and coordinate the program. After the students complete the basic training, they are able to assist local police agencies with minor tasks. OTHER PROGRAMS During 1993, officers have provided crime prevention presenta- tions on a variety of subjects, including home security, robbery prevention, drug use, and bicycle safety. Officers serve on the advisory boards of the Women's Resource and Crisis Center, Cook Inlet Council on Drugs and Alcohol, Drug Free Schools committee, Boys and Girls Club, Domestic Violence Task Force, and statewide law enforcement committees. A mutually beneficial working relationship exists between the Police Department and the educational/social service providers in the community. POLICE PERSONNEL During 1993 Richard Ross and Ronald Carter retired from the Police Department. In 1994, a sergeant and the lieutenant will be eligible to retire. As the Department loses experienced officers and supervisors the cost of training increases. A new officer starting out with a department normally receives six months of training before they are released on their own. During the second six months, they are on day shift with other experi- enced officers. The Police Department currently employs 16 sworn personnel. Three officers have been with the Department less than one year, and half the personnel have been employed over ten years. The applicant pool for officer vacancies continues to be of high quality. The minimum requirement of an associate's degree related to criminal justice studies attracts career -oriented applicants. The Department presently employs 8 officers with a BS/BA degree, 5 officers with an AA degree, and 3 officers with less than two years of college. In 1993 there was a slight increase in overall demands for Police Services. The 7.8% increase in reported crimes does increase the amount of time an officer spends on investigations and therefore, more time in the office. However, traffic enforcement did not decline as a result. No changes are anticipated in allocation of personnel between investigations and patrol in 1994. During 1994 the Kenai Police Department will continue to strive to provide quality police services for the citizens of Kenai and remain responsive to community needs.

FATAL ACCIDENTS In 1993 the Kenai Police Department investigated one (1) motor vehicle accident which resulted in two (2) deaths. SYNOPSIS• On 6-7-93 at approximately 1812 hours MARK R. PETERSON, age 38 of Nikiski, was operating a 1986 Ford pick-up towing a boat east bound on K-Beach Road at the Bridge Access intersection. PETERSON turned north onto Bridge Access Road directly in front of BARRY J. MCCORMACK, age 42 of Soldotna, who was operating a 1970 Kenworth tanker truck west bound on K-Beach Road at the Bridge Access Road intersection. The Kenworth struck the Ford pick-up in the passenger side door. The collision totally destroyed the Ford pick-up. PETERSON'S two passengers, JASON PETERSON, 11 years of age, and WARREN G.

The number of fatality motor vehicle accidents was the same in 1993 as 1992, 1 per year. The number of injuries per injury accident increased by 18% in 1993. 2. The total number of motor vehicle accidents reported was down by 2% over the previous year. 3. Motor vehicle accident distribution by type was very similar to 1992, the most notable exception was 0 off road vehicle accidents for 1993 versus 4 off road accidents in 1992. 4. The Kenai Spur Road/Bridge Access Road intersection saw a 25% increase in motor vehicle accidents from the previous year. The Bridge Access Road/K-Beach Road intersection had a 20% increase in motor vehicle accidents. Kenai Spur Road/Main Street intersection was not listed as a high risk intersection in 1992. This intersection ranked 13 for motor vehicle accident frequency during 1993 with a total of 7. Kenai Spur Road/Forest Drive is no longer an intersection with a comparatively high frequency of motor vehicle accidents. Only 1 accident was recorded at this intersection in 1993. 5. Fail to yield continues to be the leading cause of investigated motor vehicle accidents at 18% for both 1992 and 1993. Fail to Exercise Due Care saw the most significant increase as a causal factor rising from 5% in 1992 to 10.5% in 1993. The percentage of unknown causes of motor vehicle accidents dropped from 34% in 1992 to 21% in 1993. 6. Annual motor vehicle accident frequency by day of week saw the most significant change on Mondays. In 1992 Monday was the leading day for motor vehicle accidents at 19% of the total number of accidents recorded. In 1993 Monday fell to the fourth highest position at 14% of the total number of accidents recorded. Thursday through Sunday saw an average increase of 2% per day while Monday through Wednesday saw an average decrease of 3% per day, as compared to the 1992 year end totals. 3 Annual motor vehicle accident frequency by time of day most notably changed during the 1800-0000 time period, increasing by 6% over the previous year. By contrast, the A.M. hours of 0000-1200 decreased a total of 6% over the previous year. VII. CONCLUSIONS 1. Kenai Police traffic contacts increased 11.8% over the previous year. The traffic volume through the City of Kenai increased due to the recent addition of Kmart to the business community. The increase in traffic contacts contributed to an overall decrease in accidents of 2%, despite a total increase in traffic volume. 2. Fail to yield continues to be the leading cause of motor vehicle accidents and was the cause of the only fatality accident during 1993. Enforcement efforts have increased, but this type of violation remains consistently high. In addition to continued strong enforcement efforts, radio public service announcements specifically identifying poor driving habits and the corresponding motor vehicle accident results in the City of Kenai could be employed to educate the public. 3. The aggressive enforcement of seat belt violations will serve to reduce the total number of accident related injuries per accident. 4. The significant increase in motor vehicle accidents at the Bridge Access Road/K-Beach Road intersection, the Kenai Spur Road/Bridge Access Road intersection, and the Kenai Spur Road/Main Street intersection, reflects the increase in business related traffic flow through the City of Kenai. Each of these intersections have the highest frequency of motor vehicle accidents during the 1200-1800 time period. Day shift patrol must consistently target these areas for moving violation enforcement. 5. Strong traffic enforcement in 1993 contributed to an increase in motor vehicle accident causal factors being identified. 6. Maintaining a strong presence on the roadways and at high risk intersections during the afternoon/early evening hours from mid -week through the week -end should be a significant factor in limiting the total number of motor vehicle accidents and related injuries. 4 CITY OF KEN ►► Gd 0�i 210 FIDALGO AVE., SUITE 200 KENAI, ALASKA 99611-7794 TELEPHONE 907-283-7535 FAX 907-283-3014 'IIII� 1»: TO: Thomas J.

Anchorage, Alaska 99503-6199 Mayor John J. Williams FEB 2 4 1994 City of Kenai 210 Fidalgo Avenue, Suite 200 Kenai, Alaska 99611-7794 Dear Mayor Williams: I am in receipt of your letter dated February 9, 1994, inquiring about the status of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) headquarters site (site) in the City of Kenai. The site is included in a land exchange/acquisition package negotiated with Kenai Natives Association, Inc. (KNA). Representative Don Young introduced H.R. 3613, a bill endorsing the negotiated package, at the close of the last session of Congress. It is our understanding that KNA representatives are in Washington, D.C., to request a hearing date. Should the bill pass into law, title to the site will transfer to KNA. If Congress does not support the transfer of the site to KNA, it will remain under the jurisdiction of the Service. We recognize that the City of Kenai is interested in acquiring the site; however, as Dee Butler of my staff explained to Charlie Brown, acting City Manager, and Jack LaShot, Kenai City Engineer, in a meeting on March 29, 1993, in the Kenai City Office, the Service does not have administrative authority to dispose of lands withdrawn by Executive Order, as is the case with the site. Congressional approval is needed. You have indicated an interest in obtaining the site through a land exchange. We are unaware of any lands owned by the City of Kenai within the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge boundaries. The Service's acquisition authority is restricted by the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act to lands within refuge boundaries. I hope that this letter adequately responds to your questions. Should you need more information, please feel free to contact Mrs. Butler at 786-3421.

During our conversation, I advised Rich of problems we had with the flags previously ordered, i.e. the blue trim pieces pulling apart from the rest of the flag. In a following conversation, Rich advised me you asked for me to send you any flags which pulled apart in order that you could examine them and note where the design needs to be reinforced. Please remember, Kenai is right along the Cook Inlet and we receive a lot of high winds. From my sewing knowledge, I would suggest triple stitching with a smaller stitch, or maybe a zigzag triple stitch on the trim pieces. They seem to be the only portion of the flag with wear problems. Upon your examination of the with price information for a repairing the enclosed flags. Thanks for your help.

At the same time, these youth will receive job training and learn job skills. In recognizing President Clinton's call, the State of Alaska is forming its Community Services Commission. The Commission will be responsible for the distribution of funds to youth organizations wanting to participate in community service endeavors. The City of Kenai recommends the appointment of Greg Williams, Director of the Kenai Peninsula Boys' and Girls' Club to the Alaska Community Services Commission. In his capacity as Director of the Kenai Boys' and Girls' Club, Mr. Williams is well-informed of the needs of the youth of the Kenai Peninsula and of the State of Alaska. Mr. Williams is knowledgeable of our youths' desire and interest to enhance their communities and their lives. We encourage you to give full attention to Mr. Williams' education, training and experience. We believe Greg Williams would be of great benefit to the youth of the State of Alaska as a member of the Alaska Community Service Commission.

Lunn VALUE OF SOLDOTNA AIRPORT Richard Underkofler Soldotna City Manager PURPOSE Soldotna Airport, like most airports in the United States, is owned by the local government. It must compete for funding with other services provided by the city. Since the future of the airport will be determined primarily through the local political process (herein defined as the process by which scarce resources are allocated), it is important that the public and their representatives (the City Council and Citizen Advisory Groups) understand the value of the airport if they are to continue to support continued operation and funding for the airport. The purpose of this paper is to provide information about Soldotna Airport's value to the community. It is not intended to be a sophisticated economic analysis or comprehensive assessment. Rather, it presents a city manager's response to questions citizens may have when considering the current and future role of Soldotna Airport. REFERENCES Guides for this paper were drawn from Measuring the Regional Economic Significance of Airports. Report No. DOT/FAA/PP/92-6, September, 1992. DEFINITIONS Benefit is the service that an airport makes available to a community. Benefits can be measured by time saved and cost avoided by airport users over the next best alternative. Benefits are also enhancements to community well being. These benefits can not be quantified in dollars. They are best explained and demonstrated by examples of circumstances prevailing in the local area. Economic Impact is the sum of all local economic activity (employment, payroll and procurements) that can be attributed, directly and indirectly, to operation of the airport. Profit is a measure of the viability of a private business. Public airports have service, rather than profit, as the primary goal. Profit is not particularly relevant to the economic significance of a public airport, although local goals are usually directed toward making public airports more self sufficient. Self Sufficiency is a measure of the ability of an airport to pay its bills from its own resources. Few public airports are entirely self sufficient. Value of Soldotna Airport 1 2/15/94 BENEFITS Transportation Cost/Benefit. The transportation benefit of a general aviation airport can be measured by this formula: Total Annual Benefit = (E)(F)(G)(N)[(b/P - d/P)] + (G)(N)[(Qb-Qd)] _(30.00)(2)(100)(100)[(12/45-1/45)] + (100)(100)[(0.39)(12) - (0.39)(1)] = $192,900 Soldotna Where: Value G = Itinerant operations per aircraft per year 100 N = Number of aircraft based at airport 100 d = Ground miles to Soldotna Airport (say from "Y") 1 E = Passenger time value ($/hour) $30.00 F = Number passengers per trip per aircraft 2 P = Car speed (m.p.h) 45 Q = Car costs, including amortization ($/mile) $0.39 b = Ground miles to alternative landing strip 12 If the alternative is Kenai Airport or a private landing strip in Sterling or Kasilof (all of which are about 12 miles from the "Y" intersection of the Sterling Highway and the Kenai Spur Road), the annual transportation savings incidental to using Soldotna Airport for an aircraft owner would be $1,929 per aircraft. The aggregate value of time saved and cost avoided for aircraft owners for whom Soldotna Airport is 12 miles closer than an alternative landing strip is about $192,900 per year. Reliever Airport. Soldotna Airport serves as a reliever when weather is bad at Kenai Airport. When wind and fog conditions are compared, the weather is usually better in Soldotna. Soldotna also serves as a reliever for private landing strips in the area during spring break-up and again in the fall before there is sufficient snow for landing on skis. The demand for more aircraft tie down space will increase at Soldotna Airport as the population grows in the Central Peninsula and finds private aircraft landing strips to be incompatible with residential uses. Vocational Training. Soldotna serves as a hub for general aviation training programs. Flight instruction is offered at Mission Aviation Repair Center (MARC) as well as at Kenai Peninsula College. Flight instructors based at Kenai Airport use the Soldotna runway for "Touch and Go's" because it is less congested. General aviation training has led many to a career as airline, air taxi and charter pilots. Public Safety. The Alaska Department of Public Safety maintains general aviation aircraft at Soldotna for the State Troopers and the Fish & Wildlife Service. Soldotna Airport is also used as a base for forest fire detection and suppression activities of the Alaska Department of Natural Resources, Division of Forestry. Value of Soldotna Airport 2 2/15/94 Emergency Medical Service. Although a medivac service is not presently based at Soldotna, fixed wing aircraft routinely use Soldotna Airport to transport patients to and from Central Peninsula General Hospital. The distance to Soldotna is approximately equal from population concentrations at Seward, Homer and Anchorage. For this reason, a Soldotna based medivac service is likely to resume operations. It is difficult to quantify the economic value of the airport for persons who have relied upon it for an emergency medical evacuation. Tourism and Recreation. According to FAA reports, Soldotna had 2,868 passenger enplanements last year. It's assumed that more than 50% of the aircraft operations were for recreation or to serve tourism related business. The recreational uses of general aviation include sightseeing, air taxiing to less congested fishing and hunting areas, flying home built and experimental aircraft and sky -diving. Sailplaning is a recreational use likely to develop in the future. These are important sources of recreation and entertainment for residents of the Central Peninsula and provide revenues for the tourism sector of Soldotna's economy. Commercial Activities. Although some dismiss the value of Soldotna Airport because it does not presently have scheduled passenger service, there are a variety of businesses within the Central Peninsula which rely upon on -demand air taxi and charter services based at Soldotna. Much air cargo, including air freight and express delivery of small parcels and light high -value goods are shipped by air. Even relatively heavy goods, such as automobile parts, are often shipped by air to minimize inventory and warehousing costs. General aviation aircraft are used for pipeline and utility line patrols, aerial photography and surveys, transportation to and from commercial fishing sites, transportation of checks and records of commercial banking and real estate transactions. Economic Development. Finally, the presence of an airport and the types of service it provides helps to attract new business development. Airports are magnets for hotels, office parks, warehousing and distribution centers. They have helped to attract economic development to small communities looking for more jobs and diversification of their economic base. An airport can be an important factor in helping to foster commercial growth and development. ECONOMIC IMPACT Economic impacts measure the importance of an airport in terms of the employment it provides and the goods and services it consumes. Direct iml2acts are consequences of economic activities carried out at the airport by the fixed base operators, tenants and the city government. Employing labor, purchasing locally -produced goods and services and contracting for airport construction and capital improvements are examples of airport activities that generate direct impacts. Value of Soldotna Airport 3 2/15/94 There are presently nine (9) businesses operating at Soldotna Airport registered with the Kenai Peninsula Borough to collect sales tax. Their annual aggregate gross sales in 1993 were $755,000. In 1993, these businesses collected $10,116 in sales taxes from their customers on behalf of the city and the borough. The airport has twenty-three (23) tenants with long term leases. The assessed value of airport leasehold interests was $789,400. The assessed value of aircraft and personal property located at the airport was $2,329,506. City and borough property taxes levied on leasehold interests and personal property in 1993 were $42,448. According to a recent survey, thirty-three (33) full time equivalent jobs are dependent upon airport fixed base operators and tenants. Assuming the annual payroll per job approximates $46,656 (the Soldotna median family income, 1990 U.S. census), the annual value of the airport payroll would be 33 times $46,656, or $1,539,648. The value of contributed capital for airport construction undertaken by the city was $6,480,914 as of June 30, 1993. The city's annual spending for airport operation and maintenance has ranged from $259,837 in 1987 to $132,847 in 1993. Indirect impacts are off -site value added economic activities attributable to the airport. These activities include services provided by hotels, restaurants, retail and service organizations like our hospital, physicians, dentists, insurance agents and banks. These enterprises, like airport businesses, also employ labor, purchase locally produced goods and services and invest in capital improvements. Indirect impacts are the multiplier effects of increased employment, payroll and other consequences of airport activity created by successive rounds of spending in the community. For example, most of the take-home income earned by airport employees is spent locally. Some of the spending by airport employees goes to local business owners and their employees. Then part of this second -round income is also spent locally and becomes income to another set of individuals. As successive rounds of spending occur, additional income is generated. The appropriate multiplier factor for the indirect impact of an airport varies with the degree of economic independence of the market area. The more self sufficient the market area, the greater will be the extent to which expenditures by the airports and its employees keep turning over within the area, creating additional income with each new round of spending. On the other hand, the more dependent the region, the more it will spend on goods and services imported from other areas. The population of a market area is regarded as a reasonable proxy for the degree of self sufficiency. A series of studies conducted by Wilbur Smith Associates documented in the FAA guide for this paper suggests use of these multiplier factors when computing the indirect economic impact of an airport: Value of Soldotna Airport 4 2/15/94 Market Area Multiplier Population Factor Less than 100,000 0.50 100,000 - 500,000 0.60 500,000 - 3,000,000 0.75 Greater than 3,000,000 1.00 For the Central Peninsula market area, a multiplier factor of 0.50 would be used since our population is less than 100,000. Applying this multiplier to the estimated airport payroll plus the city's annual airport operating expense, yields a total indirect economic impact of $836,247. This is a real conservative estimate of the indirect impact because I have not been able to quantify impacts of other off -site economic activities attributable to the airport, such as purchases of local goods and services by aircraft owners and businesses. Total economic . act of Soldotna Airport is estimated as the sum of the direct and indirect impacts. The total annual economic impact is calculated as follows: Direct Impact: Payroll $1,539,648 Airport Operating Expenses 132,847 $ 1,672,495 Indirect Impact: ($ 1,672,495 x 0.50) 836,247 Total 1993 Economic Impact $ 2,508,742 IS CLOSING THE AIRPORT AN ALTERNATIVE? Airport critics suggest that it doesn't make sense for Soldotna Airport to compete with Kenai Airport for passenger traffic when the airports are only 12 miles apart; that the city shouldn't be spending so much money at the airport when compared to money spent (and not spent) on other services; and, that only a small minority of Soldotna's voters and residents derive any actual benefit from the airport. Critics suggest that the city should close the airport and use the property for other purposes. If the City Council directed closure of the airport, the city would be in default on grant agreements made with the FAA and persons who have made investments at the airport. The FAA would seek to recover the value of grants made to the city for airport improvements and persons who have airport leases would seek to recover the value of their leasehold improvements. The community would lose the value added to our local economy from operations at the airport. Value of Soldotna Airport 5 2/15/94 FAA Grant Reimbursement Claim. The city's financial statements show the value of contributed capital for airport property, plant and equipment to be $4,584,020 net of accumulated depreciation at June 30, 1993. But Senator Ted Stevens in introducing a bill which would enable the city to sell some of its surplus airport property issued a press release which said, "the city has been informed it would be required to reimburse the federal government nearly $7 million if it abandons the airport". The figure Senator Stevens was given approximates the value of all FAA grants given to the city, since the city's books show that the value of all airport property, plant and equipment was $6,480,914 (before depreciation) at June 30, 1993. Leasehold Improvement Claims. The 1993 assessed value of airport leasehold interests was $789,400. Persons who have airport leases would seek to recover the value of their leasehold improvements, but their claims are likely to be much higher than the borough assessed value. There would be additional legal expense to defend the city against these claims. Lost Economic Activity. Finally, if the airport was closed, the community would loose all of the benefits and economic impacts described in this paper. For these reasons, closing the airport is not a reasonable alternative. Instead, city management and a majority of the Council believe that the airport is a valuable community asset which can play an important role in helping to further diversify the city's economic base. The Council and its advisory commissions and committees are engaged in a project to update the airport master plan. The plan will formulate an airport mission statement, development goals and objectives, and an action plan for tasks intended to improve the airport and to use its surplus real estate for economic diversification and self sufficiency.

STATE OF ALA S HA Lt OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR JUNEAU Dear Alaskan:Because of your interest in important issues facing the state, I want to share information about legislation I have introduced. It is in response to the Supreme Court's decision on depositing oil tax settlements into the constitutional budget reserve fund. Specifically, the legislation: * Appropriates $950 million from the general fund to the constitutional budget reserve fund. * Appropriates $416. 6 million from the constitutional budget reserve fund back to the general fund to cover expenditures approved last legislative session, and appropriates $529 million from the constitutional budget reserve fund to the general fund which is necessary due to the drop in oil prices. * Requires approval by three -fourths of the Legislature. This will protect compliance with the court's order against further litigation, and ensure finality. Some legislators are suggesting I administratively transfer the full amount due the constitutional budget reserve fund from the general fund. There are two problems: there isn't enough cash in the general fund which would cause the state's checking account to go into the red, and the court directed the repayment by appropriation. Based on advice from the Attorney General, I chose to minimize future litigation by asking the Legislature to exercise its power and appropriate the funds. Just because the Legislature has political problems in getting a three -fourths vote, I do not believe this is sufficient reason to put the state's fiscal security in jeopardy. Should the Legislature fail to act, however, 1 may have to consider other options, such as a special session, to focus the Legislature's attention on the issue. In the meantime, I believe my legislation is responsive and responsible. r)r your further reference, I have enclosed additional information l have also enclosed a copy .my "State of the State" and "State o t e Budget" addresses. hould you have a comments or questions, please contact Chery rasca, my Deputy Chief of Staff, at 561-4228. God bless and best regards. Sincerely, 61C1 ~ Walter J. Hickel Go vernor Enclosures WALTER J. HICKEL P.O.Box I10001 Juneeu. Alaska 99811-0001 (9071 465-3500 J STATE oi- ALASfiA OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR J CNEAu February 16, 1994 The Honorable Ramona-L. Barnes Speaker of the House Alaska State Legislature State Capitol Juneau, AK 99801-1182 Dear Speaker Barnes: Under the authority of art. Ill, sec. 18, of the Alaska Constitution, 1 am transmitting a bill necessary for the state to comply with the January 27, 1994, order of the Alaska Supren•e= Court in Hicke/ v. Halfordthe litigation concerning the constitutional buds reserve fund. This bill appropriates money from the general fund to fully restore the constitutional budget reserve fund as required by the court's order. In addition, it appropriates money from the constitutional budget reserve fund to the general fund to provide valid funding sources for fiscal year 1994 appropriations. the enactment of this bill is essential for two reasons: it ensures that the state is in compliance with the order of the Alaska Supreme Court, and it provides finality with regard to the validity of fiscal year 1994 appropriations. The bill sets out findings concerning the constitutional budget reserve fund and the litigation on this issue. That litigation resulted in an order of the Alaska Supreme Court that the governor restore the constitutional budget reserve fund, with interest. The amount required to restore that fund consistent with the court's interpretation is $945,636,778.27, plus income that would have been earned upon investment of this money, calculated from the date of receipt by the state. The bill makes appropriations necessary to accomplish this. The enactment of this bill is essential to the State of Alaska. If enacted into law, the bill will bring the state into compliance with the order of the Alaska Supreme Court. By making appropriations from the constitutional budget reserve fund, the bill provides valid funding sources for fiscal year 1994 appropriations. - The Honorable Ramona L. Barnes February 16, 1994 Page 2 This bill accomplishes these goals in a manner that provides finality. For these reasons, I strongly urge your support for this bill. Sincerely, Wa er J. Hickel Governor 3 8-GH2O45.D i HOUSE BILL NO. S0!57 IN THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF ALASKA EIGHTEENTH LEGISLATURE - SECOND SESSION BY THE HOUSE RULES COMMITTEE BY REQUEST OF THE GOVERNOR Introduced: Referred: A BILL FOR AN ACT ENTITLED 1 "An Act m.,",%ina appropriations to and from the constitutional budget reserve 2 fund under art. IX, sec. 17(c), Constitution of the State of Alaska, for operating 3 and capital expenses of state government for fiscal year 1994; and providing for 4 an effective date." 5 BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF ALASKA: 6 * Section 1. FINDINGS AND INTENT. (a) Following ratification by the voters, art. IX, 7 sec. 17, of the Constitution of the State of Alaska, took effect on January 2, 1991. This 8 amendment 9 (1) created a constitutional budget reserve fund; 10 (2) required that the proceeds of certain tax and mineral revenue disputes be 11 deposited into that fund; and 12 (3) established limitations on the legislature's ability to appropriate money 13 I from that fund. 14 (b) That amendment dedicates to the constitutional budget reserve fund money from New Text Underlined (DELETED TEXT BRACKETED) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 ii mineral lease bonuses, rentals, royalties, royalty sale proceeds, federal mineral revenue sharing I I payments or bonuses, and taxes imposed on mineral income, production, or property received by the state after July 1, 1990 "as a result of the termination, through settlement or otherwise, of an administrative proceeding or of litigation in a State or federal court." �i (c) Following the ratification of the budget reserve amendment, the Department of i Revenue requested that une attorney general determine whether the term "administrative proceeding" in art. IX, sec. 17, of the Constitution of the State of Alaska, applied to informal conferences and audits or only to formal hearings. On April 24,' 1992, the attorney general issued a formal opinion concluding that informal conferences do not constitute "administrative proceedings" for the purposes of art. IX, sec. 17, of the Constitution of the State of Alaska. The attorney general reasoned that sec. 17 applied to administrative actions that were similar to litigation, such as the formal hearings held by the Department of Revenue. The opinion concluded that informal conferences held for purposes of discussion and negotiation "fall outside the ambit of the common understanding of litigation or legal contests." (d) Since July 1, 1990, the state has engaged in several formal administrative hearings and judicial proceedings to resolve oil and gas tax and mineral royalty disputes. Revenue from the termination of these putes has been deposited into the constitutional budget reserve fund. During this period, the state also received oil and gas or mineral tax revenue from audit assessments in the informal conference phase. In conformance with the April 24, 1992 opinion of the attorney general, the Department of Revenue deposited in the general fund all revenue resulting from settlement of informal tax conferences. 22 I (e) During the 1993 legislative session, the legislature passed several appropriation 23 bills. For example, HB 45, the education budget, was passed by the House on February 22, 24 1993, by a vote of 36-0, and was passed by the Senate on March 15, 1993, by a vote of 15-4. 25 i; Senate Bill 60, regarding school construction grants, was passed by the Senate on April 24, 26 !' 1993, by a vote of 12-8, and by the House on May 11, 1c 3, by a vote of 39-1, and the 27 Senate concurred in the final version by a vote of 17-3 on May 11, 1993. Other _8 apprrr,�ations passed by the legislature in 1993 include HB 55, the operating budget; SB 183, 29". the capital budget; and SB 126, intertie loans and grants and power cost equalization fund. i 30 ii For fiscal year 1994, the legislature approved appropriations from the general fund in excess 311 of $3,163,100,000. -2- New 7er.t Underlined [DELETED TEXT BA.ACKETED] I (f) In passing the appropriation bills in 1993, the legislature authorized the expenditure 2 of anticipated revenue in the general fund, including amounts deposited in that fund as a result it 3 of settlement of informal tax conferences. At the time the legislature passed those 4 lil appropriations for fiscal year 1994, revenue forecasts showed a surplus in the general fund. 5 Thus, the legislature did not anticipate that all money derived from the settlement of informal 6 j tax conferences would be spent. Due to the unanticipated decrease in state revenue, the state 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 I 22 23 24 25 II, 26 27 28 29 30 31 treasury has less money than was anticipated at the time that the legislature made its appropriations in 1993. Because of this shortfall, any anticipated surplus representing settlements of informal tax conferences, and amounts received from informal tax conference settlements occurring after July 1, 1994, must be expended to fully fund the capital and operation appropriations enacted in 1993. (g) On July 12, 1993, the Senate Majority filed suit challenging the Department of Revenue action of depositing into the general fund revenue resulting from informal tax conferences. Halford v. Hickel, (3AN-93-6297 CI). On July 27, 1993, former Governor Steve Cowper filed a similar complaint captioned Cowper v. Hickel (3AN-93-6848 CI). The cases were consolidated. (h) On November 19, 19'.. , the court issued its decision whiO! concluded that sec. 17 applied to informal tax conferences. On November 29, 1993, the state presented evidence that retroactive application of the court's ruling, requiring transfer of over $940,000,000 from the general fund, would disrupt state finances and put at risk the justifiable reliance interest of Alaskans and municipalities throughout the state. (i) The superior court dismissed the state's request that the ruling be applied prospectively only. The court found the evidence of hardship "very compelling," but noted that the hardship could be relieved if the legislature reappropriated the money for fiscal year 1994. The court ordered the governor to fully restore the constitutional budget reserve fund with interest and to comply with its decision by the end of the 1994 legislative session. The superior court noted "it is not clear that the Governor could legally remove the improperly placed funds from the general fund [to the Budget Reserve Fund] without an appropriation authorizing it." 0) Following appeal to the Alaska Supreme Court, that determined that all income that resulted from the settlement or other termination of informal administrative proceedings 3 -3- New Text Underlined (DEL_-ED TEXT BRACKETED] I involving certain taxes since July 1, 1990, should have been deposited into the budget reserve 2 �I fund created by art.

STATEMENT BY GOVERNOR WALTER J. HICKEL LEGISLATIVE ACTION TO COMPLY WITH SUPREME COURT ORDER FEBRUARY 16, 1994, 10:30 A.M. Good morning. Today I am announcing the action this administration is taking to comply with the January ruling by the Supreme Court regarding the Constitutional Budget Reserve Fund. This court decision has placed a cloud over this session. We must resolve this challenge; so we can get on with the full slate of other important issues. As you know, the public voted in November 1990 to create the Constitutional Budget Reserve Fund. The purpose was to set aside windfall income that result from COURT ACTION or ADMINISTRATIVE HEARINGS with those who develop Alaska's natural resources. When I arrived in Juneau the following month, I found a legacy of inaction on these unresolved tax disputes ---some of which were 15 years old. We cleaned up many of them ---bringing in $1.7 billion to the state treasury. Most of these settlements were the. result of INFORMAL ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDINGS and so the monies were deposited in the General Fund. Some people questioned if this was the intent of the new Constitutional amendment. I was among those. I asked the Attorney General for a legal opinion. The Attorney General's decision was logical. It said that if the administration resolved disagreements short of going to court or formal hearings (as stipulated in the Constitution) the dollars should be placed in the General Fund. As early as 1992, some members of the Legislature disagreed. Therefore, I recommended to them a friendly lawsuit be filed to resolve the dispute before any of the money was spent. But they refused to do it. Finally, in 1993 that lawsuit was filed, but only after approximately $400 million of the funds had been appropriated. Some suggest that I transfer the settlement money to the Constitutional Budget Reserve and let government come to a halt until the legislature takes action to replenish the. General Fund. This could be contrary to the court's direction. This action on my part would also require a great deal of faith in the legislature's ability and inclination to work together. I would prefer not to take this action, but will keep it as an option. My obligations are different than some members in the legislative branch. They may feel a political obligation to disrupt the process. I have a constitutional obligation to the people of this state. And I have a personal commitment to sound management. Therefore, today, I am introducing a bill that complies with the Supreme Court order and ensures that the state can meet its current obligations for fiscal year 1994 without disrupting Alaska's government services. If this bill is passed, the amount of $946 million plus interest will be appropriated from the General Fund to the Budget Reserve Fund, as ordered by the court, and a like amount will be appropriated back to the General Fund. It may be that only a simple majority vote is necessary to pass this bill. The Constitution says that money from the Budget Reserve Fund can be appropriated at a time of revenue decline. Which we clearly have today. But, we are asking for a three-quarters vote by the Legislature. A three-quarters vote will close the door on further litigation. And further litigation would only cripple effective state government. I urge the Legislature to pass this bill. 2 Those who obstruct a solution will do a grave disservice to the Alaskan people. It is unfair to the citizens of Alaska and our social and financial institutions to a,iow this issue to continue unresolved. Let's deal with it decisively, without delay, and in a way that guarantees it is settled once and for all. I feel strongly about this issue being resolved by the Legislature in a timely manner. I want to cooperate. Let's get on with our work. Thank you very much. 3 Daisy News a miner. 'lndapendent in All Thle;a ...

Walter Hickel on Wednesday gave the Legislature a clear, si=.ple plan to wrap up the flail- 1ng tentacles of the state budget. Lawmakers should follow his advice. Hickel introduced a bill that would move about $950 million from the state general fund to the less easily tapped constitutional budget reserve. (The Alaska Supreme Court saidlit should have been there in the first place, which is what caused this rress.) nickel's Sill would then instantly transfer the money back to the general fund, where it is needed to help cover this fiscal year's spending plan. Failing to complete this action only will prolong the chaos and uncertainty in state finances, and therefore in the finances of every'siing from muni- cipal governments to individual checkbooks. The governor wants three-quarters of each leg- islative house to vote for the bill, because that's the easiest way tinder the Constitution, to tap the reserve fund. The other way :o reach the money, according to the Constitution, is to prove that the rcvenues avail- ab!e for appropriation for fiscal 1994 were less than for fiscal 1993. Qf course, the success of this approach lies entirely ir. how you define "available for appropriation." The Republican legislative leadership wants to define it narrowly, in which case 1994 funds would be so far below 1993 funds that tapping Much of the money in the budget reserve would be legal. On Wednesday, the legislative leadership was pushing a bill, h-B 59, that would establish that narrow defini- tion. If they succeed, in their view, the issue dis- appears because much of the money in the budget reserve would be available with a simple majori:y vote, which they can muster in short order. Admittedly, we need to define our terms. But we should not trust that I-M 58 will resolve the dispute at hand, because its narrow interpretation of the con- stiraticnal budget reserve will likely be challenged in court. So in a Aew months we could face the same situation all over: a Supreme Court order tejUng legislators to once again put the cociries back in the jeer. 99' NCG i n , t Civic Activism froinlnnt,r City to Vletrcipoktan Region The National Civic League'; 99th National Conference on Govcrnance (NCG) was formally opened on Fridav, November 12 with a luncheon plenary hosted by outgoing NCL chairmain William F. Winter, former Governor of Mississippi. The luncheon program, a panel discussion entitled "Causes for Hope: New Strategies for Community Revitalization," was preceded by welcoming remarks from Rev. Andrew Young, Co -Chair of the Atlanta Commit- tee for the Olympic Games and former Mayor of Atlanta. Summing up his own experience with governance in central cities and within metropolitan regions, Young -)mmented that success for diverse communities resides in the "ability to disagree without being disagreeable." But constructive dialogue, Young cautioned, is equally critical during periods of economic transition and prosperity: Noting that it is easier to solve problems of intergroup relations and economic equity when a region is relatively prosperous, Young queried whether "we do good because we're doing well [economically]. "It is better to do good first," Young indicated, imploring conference attendees to work in their communities to "commit America to a united future." The discussion panel, moderated by NCL board member James Gibson of The Urban Institute, identified the urban areas experiencing economic and social turnaround and highlighted renewal strategies and analytic models for understanding the problems that afflict central cities and inner -ring suburbs. Workshops Discuss Hands -On Experience Concurrent breakout sessions allowing the luncheon panel discussion .,potlighted specific renewal/revitaliza- tion activities recently undertaken in Atlanta, Los Angeles. Oakland, Boston, and Cleveland. While the circumstances of the communities discussed in these workshops varied widely, participants indcrsc cc the importance of root, leaderviip and the establishment of wali.stic exptctations. Evening at the Carter Center Following a book -signing reception at which conference attendees had the op- portunity to purchase copies of Citistates: Now Urban America Can Prosper in a Competitive World and chat with the prin- cipal author Neal Peirce, participants were bused to the Jimmy Carter Presidential Center and Museum for the evening pro- gram, featuring a keynote presentation by Housing and Urban Development Secretary and former NCL chairman Henry G. Cis- neros. Introduced by DeKalb County Chief Executive Officer Liane Levetan and welcomed by Atlanta Mayor Maynard Jackson, Secretary Cisneros reinforced the theme of the conference, observing that "our urban areas today, from inner- city neighborhoods to the so-called edge cities of suburbia face mounting prob- lems ranging from poverty, homelessness and crime to traffic congestion, environ- mental pollution and lack of affordable housing." Comparing the National Civic League's ongoing strategic planning project to the National Performance Review undertaken last spring by the Clinton Administration, Cisneros detailed plans of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to streamline its operations and render them more targeted, economical and effective. "We at the Department of Housing and Urban Development are initiating a sweeping re-examination of our mission, question- ing our basic principles, procedures and personnel practices," Cisneros said. "An essential step in this vast process of reinventing HUD is to re-examine our mission in terms of President Clinton's priorities and our assessment of what is most needed to heal the wounds, bridge the social divisions that impede collective progress, and provide the economic support necessary to revitalize America's urban centers." Aiinua. Membership Meeting he Saturuav morning proceedings tirr� opened with the National Civic League'; annual membership meeting and election of officers (see page 3 of this issue of Civic Action). John Gardner, noted author and former Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health Education and Welfare, was elected to NCL's board of directors and installed the next day for a one-year term as NCL chairman. The membership meeting was followed by a plenary presentation by Amitai Etzioni, founder of The Commu- nitarian Network. Introducing the communitarian movement — which seeks to balance personal rights and self- expression with responsibility to commu- nity and nation — Etzioni declared that "the first stepping stone of a civil society is the family, historically the extended family." In an acknowledgment of widely held criticisms of communitar- ians, Etzioni indicated that a return to family and community responsibility need not be accompanied by the "dis- criminatory" and "authoritarian" mores of the 1950s, when married women were generally expected to subordinate career aspirations to home- making and child rearing. The conference closed with a banquet plenary featuring Mr. Lynn Curtis, president of the Milton S. Eisenhower Foundation, who commented on the state of social equity in the U.S. 25 years after the Kerner Commission's report on poverty. Pointing to the ominous portent of the 1992 civil disturbances in Los Angeles, Curtis called for a new wave of investment in America's youth, public education system and urban infrastructure. Curtis's audio-visual presentation was followed by a lively question -and -answer session.

Scranton, Scranton, PA Hon. William F. Winter, Watkins Ludlum & Stennis, Jackson, MS Hon. Wilson W. Wyatt, Sr., Louisville, KY Public -Nonprofit Sector Coordination for Service Delivery the Subject of NCL Research Report The rapid rise in public spending on human services, commenced in the 1960s, has been accompanied by re- peated calls for improved coordination. Better coordination, advocates claim, would advance the central values of sound public administration: efficiency, effectiveness and equity. This elusive goal is discussed in "The Challenge of Coordination in Human Service Networks," the report of a study of patterns of government - nonprofit cooperation and contracting. Conducted by NCL research director Allan Wallis and funded by the Aspen Institute, the research discussed in the report investigated relationships between the public and nonprofit sectors in the delivery of services to three client groups in three U.S. cities. The three client groups studied were the developmentally disabled, people with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), and the homeless. Detailed field research was conducted in Denver, Colo., Phoenix, Ariz. and the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minn. Government and the Nonprofit Sector As it has evolved, the relationship between the public and nonprofit sectors in human service delivery consists of a complex set of inter -organizational networks. Unlike pure public bureaucra- cies, which work to maintain clear boundaries and pursue coordination through the imposition of hierarchy, inter-sectoral networks have flexible and fuzzy boundaries. Despite a long history of contracting with nonprofits for the delivery of human services, neither policy nor bureaucratic practice has fully recognized the relation- ship between government and the nonprofit sector as a partnership. In fact, the nonprofit sector has been treated either as an extension of the public contracting regime or a parallel support system with the capacity to expand as public sector funding is reduced. This latter interpretation fails to recognize the substantial expansion of the nonprofit sector in recent decades in response to public sector human services programs. With the exception of organizations that rely on private and philanthropic dona- tions for operating support (presumably to maintain independence or pursue a religious mission without interference), the nonprofit sector actually has little capacity to maintain service levels in the absence of public sector support. Nature of revenue flow notwith- standing, nonprofits often have signifi- cant values conflicts vis-a-vis the public sector, tending to emphasize responsive- ness to the client group over efficiency and equity. The NCL report argues that if more functional coordination is to remain an objective of governtnent- nonprofit contracting, it must be based on a better understanding of the networks involved in human services delivery and the values of their constituent organiza- tions. Values conflicts between govern- ment and nonprofits within networks tend to emerge, the research revealed, around gaps in service, resulting either from funding shortfalls, changes in the -- characteristics of a client population; -or shifts in the preferred means of treatment. Research Design The client populations selected for study in this research differ in several important respects: 1) the stigma or sympathy their condition elicits from the public and, in turn, government; 2) the history and degree of public funding to support their needs; and 3) their capacity to organize in their own interests. The, study sites for field interviews were, selected on the basis of expected differ- ences in degrees of responsiveness, with Minneapolis -St. Paul highly proactive; Phoenix relatively reactive, and Denver in the middle. Field research identified the characteristics of all three human service networks in each of the study sites, as well as service gaps of particular concern. In order to generalize findings, telephone interviews were conducted with representatives of the three -networks in ten additional cities. Human service networks differ in their capacity to coordinate effectively. Some are intensely bureaucratic and inert; others can respond to crisis and change with relative alacrity, rapidly identifying and filling gaps in service. "The Challenge of Coordination in Human Service Networks" correlates this differential capacity to the nature of the client population (and thus, its needs), duration and magnitude of public funding, and the political culture of the communities in which networks operate.

Pre -Conference Session Ponders Obstacles to Communitarianism Among the pre -conference affiliate group meetings held in conjunction with NCL's 99th National Conference on Governance last month in Atlanta was a "Communitarian Roundtable" hosted by Joan Bronk, executive director of The Communitarian Network. Following a brief introduction of the communitarian movement, which is typically identified with the contemporary debate over the balancing of civil rights with community responsibility, Ms. Bronk stated the Network's positions on a range of timely issues, including urban crime, family, poverty, drug testing, reform of the political process, and moral instruction in public schools. Intrigued with communitarian thought but skeptical of its practical viability, roundtable participants transformed the discussion session into a hands-on investigation of the substantive obstacles to implementing the communitarian agenda. Fifteen major obstacles were identified, and participants elected to consider three in detail: lack of a sense of citizenship, weak facilitation skills, and racism and bigotry. The remainder of the workshop was devoted to "brainstorm- ing" means of overcoming these obstacles. To obtain a copy of the workshop results, contact: David Lampe, National Civic League, (303) 571-4343. For more information on the communitarian ,ovement, please write to Joan Bronk, The Communitarian Network, 5 Horizon .-.venue, Fort Lee, NJ 07024. Additionally, the relevance of communitarian thinking to issues of reform and community revitalization are discussed in the Summer 1993 issue of the NATIONAL Civic REVIEW, "The Communitarian Debate," available for $8.00 from the National Civic League.

Fall REVIEW Illuminates the Civics of `Turnaround' Can urban America survive in an increasingly hostile metropolitan environment favoring low density'? Despite decades of decline. a number of older cities have seemingly "bucked the trend." attracting investment, jobs, and yes, middle class residents. Are they aberrations. or the genuine results of deliberate actions undertaken to effect turnaround'? The Fall 1993 issue of the NATIONAL Civic REVIEW, entitled "Tales of Turn- around." argues in favor of a strong civic component to revitalization, capable of balancing the formidable economic forces that drive central -city decay. "Turnaround" is defined as evidence that an urban, central -city community, beset with the range of social and economic pathologies infecting parts of most older cities, has both halted the spread of such decline and undertaken targeted. coopera- tive efforts to improve the circumstances of inner-city residents. Importantly. the phenomenon described in this collection of articles involves the mobilization of the indigenous civic vitality that most public policies disregard. Symposium articles include: -"Baltimore: Managing the Civics of a Turnaround Community," by Lenneal J. Henderson. Ironically, the resuscitation of civic spirit and capacity that has spearheaded Baltimore's turnaround was prompted by the desper- ate human conditions that characterized the community's post-war decline. Effective, sustainable revitalization must focus both on neighborhoods and downtown, have leadership and support from the top as well as the grass -roots• and draw its energy from collaboration among units of government, neighbor- hoods, sectors, and organizations. - "Revitalizing Cleveland: Orga- nizing Citizens to Respond to the Challenge," by Janis Purdy. The strongest civic traditions will not shield communities from the ravages of economic and social transition if they are not capable of self -renewal. The "Comeback City" bases its turnaround on its flair for consensus -based problem solving, regional thinking and broad acceptance of personal responsibility to community. - "Rebuilding Los Angeles: One Year Later," by J. Eugene Grigsby. In planning urban recovery strategies, leaders must focus on the key elements of local civic culture: small businesses and community -based organizations. While broad -based participation in project governance is necessary for building trust, the setting of realistic objectives may ensure greater respect in the long run. "The Atlanta project: A Com- munity -Based Approach to Solving Urban Problems," by Michael W. Giles. Planning of large-scale community and civic revitalization projects is challenged by the dialectic that exists between the need for effective, centralized coordina- tion and the affirmative value of neigh- borhood empowerment and control. For The Atlanta Project, striking this balance is both an ongoing challenge and a source of strength. - "The Role of Gentrification in Central -City Revitalization," by David Lampe. Is it mainly race or mainly class that has hastened the flight of central cities' more propserous residents to the outlying suburbs? Can a range of socio- economic classes live harmoniously, side -by -side in central city neighbor- hoods, or is one of the objectives of gentrification merely to re -homogenize the urban mix'? - "Citistates and Regional Gover- nance," by John J. Kirlin. When the community -revitalization debate is shifted from the local to the regional level, advocates confront the fact that — despite recent reforms — regions have little standing in our federal system. Economically competitive regions offering a range of satisfying experiences for their residents will require a less coercive federalism and a re -casting of our politics to favor balanced public discussion and encourage commitment to neighborhood and region. In a feature article related to the symposium, Peter Dreier of Occidental College reviews the career of former Boston Mayor Ray Flynn. Can urban progressivism flourish in a climate that is also hospitable to the interests of busi- ness? Pushing the "city limits," Dreier argues, implies striking this balance, but addressing the root causes of abject urban poverty may ultimately exceed the capacity of the most progressive urban agenda.

The project calls for a four -lane highway with a turning lane in front of two district schools - Kenai Central High School and the Kenai Middle School. Kenai Middle School serves students in grades 6-8 and the high school serves 9-12 grade students. I am concerned that no access for walkers from the north side of the road has been provided to either of these schools. I wonder whether or not an overpass for walkers could be provided so that students will not have to cross five lanes of traffic to get to school. This situation will only get worse as the Kenai area grows and more traffic is on the road. We need to be pro -active and play for the future now. Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
