KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 20, 1993 PAGE 8 Reference was made to the memorandum from Engineering Technician Rachel Clark included in the packet. Attorney Rick Baldwin - Stated he represents Fertech Environment Systems, Inc. who believe they are the low bidder for the contract of the contaminated soils project. Baldwin stated his clients dispute the award of the bid to Glacier Environmental Services, Inc. Baldwin handed out a copy of the bid opening information to council. Baldwin explained Glacier had offered a unit price in words of "fifteen dollars even." Their total unit price was stated as $15,000. Baldwin stated Council will be able to quiz Glacier as to whether they really meant "fifteen dollars even." Baldwin stated the Supreme Court allows discrepancies between words and numbers to be resolved in favor of words. Baldwin added federal law does not. Baldwin stated Glacier double bid, i.e. gave one bid and then declared it was an error and gave another bid. Fertech would be the low bidder if Glacier's bid would be considered as it was originally figured (using the $15,000 amount) at $430,000. Baldwin stated the bid award should not proceed from Glacier's mistake. Baldwin stated Fertech was the lowest responsible bidder. Baldwin suggested Council should consider the City's liability if they award the bid to Glacier. Baldwin added Fertech will eliminate the liability. Baldwin went on to discuss the types of work that would be done by Fertech and Glacier. (Glacier will wash the soil, on site. Fertech bid enhanced bioremediation, removing all the soils to another site and build their bioremediation unit there. After DEC certification is received that the soil is clean, the clean soil is then disposed from the site.) Baldwin discussed the experience of both companies and financial standing. Baldwin suggested Council question themselves about the integrity of the bidding contest and seriously consider the long-term effect of their actions. Baldwin urged Council to vote against the award of the bid. Council questioned the bid opening information distributed by Baldwin. Attorney Graves stated there are two Alaska Supreme Court opinions stating a government is to count words over numbers. Graves stated Glacier is the low bidder under the law and there is no way around it. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 20, 1993 PAGE 9 Kornelis stated their bid specifications are standard in industry in Alaska and nationwide. The specifications state words take precedence over numbers. After the bid opening, all bids are reviewed and adjusted, if necessary, according to the written words. Kornelis added this is always done and there are always mistakes in the bids, i.e. numbers v. words. They always use the written words and multiply it out. Kornelis added the specifications discussed the cleaning of the piles as well as 3,000 cubic yards of subsurface soils. Kornelis stated the best way of handling the soil is debatable. Kornelis personally believes thermal care is best, however it is more expensive. Both methods discussed tonight are ADEC approved. There are stringent specifications to control the work. 100% bonding is required by any of the contractors. Kornelis stated his department recommends Glacier Environmental. Kornelis stated the handwriting on the bid sheet distributed by Baldwin was not his or that of the engineering technician. Discussion followed regarding the bonding requirements and how they play in the completion of the work if necessitated by the inability of the contractor to complete the work. Tom Sullivan - Vice President of Glacier Environmental Services. Sullivan discussed the company's financial records and length of business in Alaska and experience. Sullivan also discussed his company's experience in Alaska. Sullivan stated they will be washing the soils and then removing them from the site as it is required. The company carries $1 million in pollution liability insurance. They will not transport contaminated soils off the site. Sullivan stated an accident would cause a huge liability problem. That is why they clean the soils on site. If it is moved from the site prior to cleaning, there is a potential of contaminating another site. Sullivan stated his company has no affiliation with Enviros. Fertech states they will act as the general contractor and do the work as well. This is not allowed by the specifications. Sullivan stated because of this, Fertech is non -responsive. Sullivan stated he agrees with Baldwin that if the work is not done right, it will not go away. Sullivan stated Council's best bet is to stay with the recommendation and award the bid to Glacier. When their work is complete, the area will be tested. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 20, 1993 PAGE 10 Williams asked if Glacier will stipulate in writing they will clean the soils below the piles. Sullivan stated that would not be a problem. Sullivan stated they have worked with the Corps of Engineers in Dutch Harbor and have been approved by the Corps. Steve Miles - President of Glacier Environmental (telephonically). Stated Glacier works with Enviros. Glacier's work is to implement plans provided to them. Miles gave a short history of the company and past work. Miles added they feel soil washing is better than enhanced bioremediation. Williams reviewed the law as to words v. numbers. Williams added council may disregard the law and throw the bid out. Graves stated that is not accurate. Graves stated Glacier is the low bidder under Alaska law. Council has the prerogative to award the bid to another if they think another bid is better for the city. Manninen added the bid may be awarded to someone else within the scope of the project. Swarner asked when the work would begin. Kornelis stated after the award of the bid and notice to proceed, the contractor will have to cover the piles or remove them. Glacier would cover them and probably begin work in the spring. Kornelis stated he believed Fertech would do the same. Williams asked if Council does not award the bid, would the City be responsible to cover the piles until a contractor is hired. Kornelis stated yes. Kornelis stated he strongly urges Council to award the bid tonight. Bannock asked Kornelis if money was available, what method did he believe would be the best. Kornelis stated thermal. Bannock asked what the likelihood is for Grace Drilling to pay for the work. Graves stated they really cannot respond to that in a public meeting. Graves added if it seemed possible Grace would have paid for the work without problems, that remedy would have been pursued. Kornelis added he sent a copy of the specifications to Grace Drilling, but has not had a response from them. Williams stated money has only been appropriated to cover this bid. No money has been appropriated for thermal. If Council decides they want thermal, the bid award could not be done tonight. Discussion continued. Williams asked Sullivan if Glacier was unable to complete a project. Sullivan stated no never. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 20, 1993 PAGE 11 Sullivan added they have never been involved with an attorney so early in a project either. Sullivan added the request for proposal asked for an independent third party for sample testing and design. Sullivan stated Glacier does not own Enviros. They are a separate company. Measles asked if anything other than getting the piles covered is critical to the award of the bid tonight. Kornelis stated he was not aware of anything. Kornelis added he feels it important to award the bid tonight. Graves added if the piles are not covered this winter (by a contractor), he would expect DEC will require the City to cover them this winter. Kornelis added he has received threatening letters. Measles asked if the item was delayed for two weeks, would that be critical. Measles added after the piles are frozen, the dirt will not go anywhere. MOTION: Councilwoman Swarner MOVED to table the action. MOTION DIED FOR LACK OF SECOND. Smalley asked what the cost to the City would be in time and materials to cover the piles. Kornelis stated it would very expensive. The piles are covered with something much heavier than visqueen. Swarner asked when the contract would receive the notice to proceed. Kornelis stated the contractor has ten days in which to get the bonds and certificate of insurance. Then the notice to proceed is issued. Swarner stated she would like to wait on the vote until she has time to discuss the matter with members of her daughter's university engineering department. MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED for approval of Resolution No. 93-84 to Glacier Environmental Services for the amount of $425,015. MOTION DISREGARDED, MOTION ALREADY ON THE FLOOR. Measles requested a short break. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 20, 1993 PAGE 12 BREAK: 8:45 P.M. BACK TO ORDER: 8:55 P.M. Swarner asked Sullivan questions of the washing process. Sullivan stated they do not normally use chemicals in the water they use for washing. Normally they use plain water with a deep filtration system. DEC approves. The used filters are often sent back to the manufacturer who recycles them. The used filters are sent out immediately. There is no purpose for them to stay on site. COUNCILMAN MEASLES CALL FOR THE QUESTION. Williams stated he will observe the law in regard to the money and will rely on the recommendations of staff and vote to award the bid to Glacier. VOTE: Williams: Yes Bookey: Abstain Swarner: Yes Monfor: Absent Measles: Yes Bannock: Yes Smalley: Yes MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.

While this discussion is limited, I hope that it will provide you with some information and perspective on the upcoming legislative session so that you will be better able to plan, participate, and advocate your legislative agenda. Capital Budgt The $100 million general fund capital budget adopted for FY '95 is the smallest Alaska has seen since 1971 and represented an 84% decrease from FY '94. Adjusting for inflation and expressed in per capita terms, this is one of the smallest, if not the smallest, capital budget since statehood. For some additional perspective it is worthy to note that during the 1993 legislative session, general fund capital spending accounted for 19% of session spending compared to the 1994 session where the percentage dropped to 4%. The reduced capital spending reflected reduced revenue, the legislature's inability to agree to a viable spending plan, a desire to placate conservative voters, and knowledge that the previous session's appropriations were sufficient to provide a reasonable number of construction jobs. Because of federal funds that supplement the state's capital budget the actual impact in real dollars went from $1,200.9 million in FY '94 to $684.4 million in FY '95 for an actual reduction of 43%. Thank goodness for federal dollars. Operating Budget The FY '95 operating budget was $2.3 billion. Operating budget items were packaged into three bills (HB 505, HB 370, and HB 441). The operating budget enacted for FY '95 was just 2% less ($40 million) than the budget originally proposed by Governor Hickel; however, the legislature's policy influence on the budget was far greater than this figure might suggest. An 360 West Benson • Suite 20C • Anchorage, Alaska 99503 (907) 562-2560 • FAX (907) 562-2570 abbreviated explanation: The legislature provided decrements of $88 million to state agencies while increasing formula programs by $48 million. Municipal revenue sharing is probably the biggest benefactor of the legislature's changes to the Governor's proposal which called for a 50% decrease from FY '94 ($36.7 million) with the actual FY '95 enacted amount reflecting only a 14% decrease with funding at $62.6 million. None the less, the legislature clearly short -funded many state agencies leaving them with the responsibility of providing services within these budget constraints. For some agencies, the problem is relatively minor and can be handled through some creative budget manipulation, belt tightening, cost charging, and fee(s) implementation. For other agencies, the cuts are so deep that an early 1995 supplemental budget will be imperative simply to keep them operating. Agencies impacted by cuts have submitted CF3 forms to the Governor's office outlining the details of the FY '95 shortfalls and their plans in dealing with the decrements. If you are interested in the specific plans of any of the short -funded agencies, I will provide you with that information. As we are only too well aware, with Wildwood being just down the road, among state agencies, Corrections has the biggest FY '95 problem, not so much because of the size of the cuts (approx. 4%) but because of the political sensitivity of allowing inmates to go free, the existing mismatch between resources and responsibilities in the "adjusted base", and the continuing oversight and requirements of the Courts resulting from the Cleary case. Basically, the Department of Corrections is proceeding forward and praying for a supplemental in early 1995. A specific reference regarding Wildwood is provided for in the department's C173 submission: "...use the assumed additional resources from the supplementals and Point Mackenzie closure to add 109 or more inmate beds at Spring Creek and Wildwood, and initiate day -reporting or electronic monitoring programs on a pilot basis in Anchorage and Fairbanks." As you can see, the Department of Corrections is living in anticipation of a supplemental. It's either that or its time to unlock the cells. The Future: The 1995 Session and Beyond With a new Governor and legislature, you can count on changes -- if for better or worst, only time will tell. One thing almost for certain is that next session's supplementals will be larger than we've seen in recent years. This can be attributed to the fact that last year's politically motivated tight budget created operational nightmares by short- funding programs and in some cases, as with the Department of Correction and Health and Social Service, the courts will leave the state little choice but to add money. Likewise, a large supplemental budget might prove to be politically expedient. Last session's open-ended appropriation from the constitutional budget reserve (CBR) to cover the expected FY '95 deficit, means legislators can adopt FY '95 supplemental appropriations by majority vote, and still have the funds come out of the CBR. If the supplementals don't exceed the balance in the CBR, being liberal with FY '95 supplementals won't reduce the amount of general fund money available for FY '96. With oil revenues exceeding projections, and with additional oil settlements pumping additional money into the CBR, you might expect to see an open-ended FY '95 draw from the CBR to encourage shifting FY '96 spending into FY '95, where it can be covered from the CBR, without the hassle and deal making required to obtain a 3/4 vote. There is a precedent for this: Last session legislative leaders covered $103 million of debt service due in FY '95 with an FY '94 appropriation. At that point, in April, the 3/4 votes to cover the revenue shortfall from the CBR had only been obtained for FY '94. One should also take note that the state's official revenue forecast that our budget was predicated on was an oil price of $13.97 per barrel. Actual prices have been holding constant in the $16.00 range crating more revenue for the current fiscal year than anticipated in our budgetary process to the tune of approx. $400 million. These factors coupled with the political reaction to last year's tight budget, the campaign promises made this season, and the political requirements of organzing the House and Senate could produce a more generous attitude toward spending in the near term. Because of the state's fiscal position and political considerations, it is my belief that the 1995 session will spend more and be more generous than during the 1996 session. There's no question that the state needs to pay attention to its fiscal affairs, restructure the budgetary process and the public's expectations of government; however, Alaska is far form facing a fiscal crisis that cannot easily be managed. With improved technology increasing recovery and more oil fields coming on line, the revenue decline suggested in the "Prudhoe Bay Curve" has gone from falling off a cliff to a gradual decline. Additionally, the state has very little debt outstanding. In fact, the state's bond indebtedness will be paid off by In addition to the ordinary revenue this state receives from oil and gas royalties and corporate taxes, there is a significant amount of back tax disputes that the state will derive income from. According to the Legislative Research Division's compilations, there are $8.2 billion still in dispute. By taking a look at the state's track record of collections and listening to those familiar with the strength of the state's claims, I understand that it is estimated that the state will receive in the neighborhood of $1.3 - $1.8 billion in extraordinary income over the next two to three years. Likewise, informed sources indicate that President Clinton will likely lift the export ban after the November 8th election. State agency studies estimate that the annual state revenue dividend from repealing the ban would amount to about $100 million annually. Even in the worst case, if the settlement money doesn't materialize, oil prices stay low, and the export ban stays in place - don't look for a serious fiscal crises. The state still has plenty of viable fiscal options. First of all, substantial cash reserves still exist. The biggest liquid reserve is the permanent fund earnings reserve account, currently in excess of $1.1 billion, and projects in excess of $1.5 billion by ythe end of FY '97. Other less liquid reserves include the state's equity in AHFC (about $1.5 billion, after projected FY '95 withdrawals), the AIDEA (about $750 million), and the remainder of the investment loss trust fund (about 115 million). Beyond reserves, is the state's unused tax capacity. If Alaska state and local governments taxed households and non -oil business at the average of other states, Alaska governments would collect about $600 million more annually than at present. Oil taxes could be increased as well. Having an abundance of viable fiscal options won't make the choices any easier for policy makers. In 1995, we'll see a higher yet reasonable rate of state spending -- particularly the capital budget. After the 1995 session, look for legislative sessions to again be punctuated by deadlock on fiscal issues. As in 1994, problems will emerge when oil prices are low and will precipitate political crisis. In conclusion, what Alaska experienced during the 1994 session was as much a political crisis as a fiscal crisis. At the moment and for the foreseeable future, oil prices look reasonably solid. With new politicians in office with promises to keep, you can expect to see a higher rate of spending during the 1995 session. Particularly, if some of the spending can be "hidden" politically at the expense of Governor Hickel as an FY '95 supplemental. I ,50°o ______.�_. DitUr Iai7 JR.-S&al'Cl?

Mr. Tronsky told me today that this acquisition is presently being evaluated by the Trustee Council ana he thinks it is very positive. He said he thinks the city's involvement and the fact that the city will consider changing the zoning of some Kenai River Area property to Conservation has had a positive influence. The Cone property, if purchased through the Trustee Council Funds, would change ownership to the state. The State of Alaska would hold title or ownership of the rp operty.

If acquired and developed through other sources of funding through the Alaska State Department of Natural Resources/Alaska State Parks/Alaska Department of Fish and Game Habitat and Restoration, the City of Kenai will negotiate a mutually-satisfactory/workable operations and maintenance plan to take over the ultimate park maintenance of both the Chester Cone project and the upgrading of the existing Cunningham Park facility along the Kenai River bank.

Dear Mayor Williams: I would like to provide you with a brief update on the stators of Mr. Cone's property acquisition proposal and alert you to another issue which, I believe, the City of Kenai might be interested in. As you will recall, the Alaska Deparmicat of Fsshand Game requested that Mr. Cone submit a proposal to the Exxon Valdez Trustee Council (the Council) requesung that the Council consider acquiri:ng his property under the small parcel acquisition program. The City of Kenai expressed their support of Mr. Cone's proposal with the unanimous adopnon of a resolution to the Council supporting the acquisition. In a recent convemtion with Mr. Lance Trasky, Regional Direetor of the Habitat Division at ADF&G. I was told Mr. Can's parcel has been, well rccaived with the Coumcff s staff reviewing acquisition proposals and that acquisition sites should be idmtificd by late fall of this year. I also want to mention a nrograan being administered by the Alaska Department of Natural Resources (ADNR) which is providing funds for deveiopment of recreation sites in the Eason Valdez spill area. This program might program be of interest to the City since. should Mr. Cone's property be acquired, the pareci might be considered a suitable location for a DNR Dark: site. It is MY understanding thatADNR would be very interested in working with the City of Kenai to develop a recreation site thatwould utilize Mr. Cone's property in amannerthat would beater local residents without damaging critimi habitat along the river. Although Mr. Cone has not received written evidence of the State's interest in purchasing his property, it would appear iron key agency officials that momentum is building sin Mr. Cone's direction. I believe that if the City expressed an interest in the ultimate use and management of the property, acquisition, and, thereiore, a decision on the possible location of a recreation site within the City, could be reakized this fall.

This clause has been included by the City in previous contracts and I assumed that it was also included in this contract. Therefore, the City is under no legal obligation to pay us for our additional costs incurred due to the contract time extension. In spite of the lack of a contractual requirement, I request that the City pay for the additional inspection costs made necessary by the time extension since it was beyond our control and caused us additional expense beyond our original budget. The amount of unbillable work that we performed under our original contract scope of work is $3687.30. A summary sheet is attached for your review.

The first bill is for work authorized under our existing contract. The other bill is for extra work that was required due to the extension of the construction contract time. Our contract with the City provides for an increase in the not to exceed limit if the construction contract time is increased by more than 20%. The original contract time for this project was 60 days, while final contract time was 10 months, per Change Order No.1. The extra inspection work on our part evolved from the following circumstances: 1. The specified gate supplier did not seem to have the ability to ship a large and specialized order such as this one in a timely fashion, we spent a lot of time coordinating with the supplier to expedite the project. 2. The supplier had various technical problems with the gates and with the controls, which did not function according the control manufacturers published data. A substantial amount of time was required on our part to resolve these problems. In an effort to minimize the cost overrun for contract administration/inspection, a substantial amount of unbilled time was put into the job to insure the City got a satisfactory final product. In consideration of the above, I would like to request that you increase our not to exceed limit by $2,285.00, so that we can be paid for the extra work we were required to perform due to circumstances beyond our control. Please note that our previous billing, May 1993, showed that we overan our design budget by approximately $4,500.00. We are not asking for additional compensation for that work since the design budget was under our control.

At this time, we are assuming that the addition will follow suit to the existing building in most aspects. Working from original building drawings, prepare new schematic drawings consisting of site plan, floor plans, elevations and typical building sections. Architectural Fee: $11,820. > Review existing drawings to determine adequacy of existing mechanical systems. This review shall include performance of existing systems and capacities for supporting twenty additional units. Mechanical Fee: $1,200. > Provide schematic construction cost estimate per attached fee quote plus ten percent.

ROLL CALL Members present: Joel Kopp, Bonnie Koerber, Ron Holloway, Tom Thibodeau Members absent: Diane Smith, Bob Scott Also present: Randy Ernst, Loretta Harvey Loretta Harvey administered the Oath of Office to Joel Kopp and welcomed him to the Commission. Randy Ernst reported there were two vacancies on the Commission. Bill Toppa had moved to the Planning and Zoning Commission and Linda Bonewell was no longer on the Commission. Diane Smith had told Ernst she would also be resigning from the Commission. Joel Kopp would fill one of these vacancies which would leave two. Tom Thibodeau expressed regret that Linda Bonewell was no longer on the Commission as he felt she had good ideas and made an excellent Commissioner. 2. APPROVAL OF AGENDA Ron Holloway moved approval of the agenda as presented. Bonnie Koerber seconded. Agenda approved as presented. 3. APPROVAL OF MINUTES - April 14, 1994 Ron Holloway moved approval of the minutes as presented. Bonnie Koerber seconded. Minutes approved as presented. 4. PERSONS PRESENT SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD 5. OLD BUSINESS Airport Commission October 13, 1994 Page 1 6. NEW BUSINESS a. Recap Summer Activities and Projects Enplanements are up from previous years and may exceed 1991's figures, which were the highest to date. Pay parking is at $71, 191.82, and 201 people have been towed. An additional sign will be added regarding the pay parking. Electric gates are installed, and the only problem is the gate at Granite Point is burning up the pump. The electrician is trying to rectify this problem. All the gates automatically close and the emergency gate is siren activated on the fire frequency. Airport Signage is complete. Alpha III is now Fox, Alpha I is Golf, Alpha II is Hotel and Charlie I is Juliette. Delta and Echo have been left out for any extension to the main taxiway. Tom Thibodeau asked if a handout explaining the changes had been given to airport users. Ernst said he had notified all users explaining the new signage. There haven't been any problems with the new signs to date. Front End Loader should be in the first of November. Sander/Plow Truck went out to bid and there were two bids. However, the city didn't feel the low bidder gave them all the options they wanted, so they tried to get the FAA to buy the high bidder, but they wouldn't. The city rejected both bids, but may seek a piggy -back bid of that same vehicle through another government agency. Automated Fuel System, Float Plane Facility, the power and telephone is in. Kachemak Electric is installing the automated fuel reader, the computer will be in Randy's office. There will be two lines, one to access the bank and the other will access the computer in Randy's office for readouts, etc. This will not be on line until next season. Ron Holloway thought it might be good to be on line for ski- planes. Ernst said he had considered that but didn't really want to fill the 4,000 gallon tank for the small usage it would get in the winter. Paving Taxiway to CAP Hangar, Ernst has determined the FAA will not earmark funds for this project because it is not consistent with the AIP funding requirements. Airport Commission October 13, 1994 Page 2 Thibodeau asked if there was any other way to get this project done? Ernst said the city may take on the project out of airport funds, with Council approval. The project has been estimated at $44,000. Tom Thibodeau asked if the CAP or the Airport Commission should bring this proposal before Council? Ernst said it should be a combination from both, the CAP should write a letter outlining the project and why it is important, the Commission will review the proposal and send it's recommendation on to Council. Ron Holloway said this is a safety issue. There is usually a period for about two weeks in the spring when the CAP cannot operate, because there is so much mud near the hangar. Joel Kopp felt this was a pretty good reason for the project. Fish Hauls Ernst reported the fish hauls were low this season. ACIP Joint Planning Meeting Ernst reported this was the first meeting of it's kind in the State. The meeting was to identify AIP projects in priority to get funding other than ACIP funding. It taps the reserve fund balance which is split by priority projects, such as safety first. One project Kenai would look at is extension of the taxiway to the end of the 1-9. They felt this was a good candidate for this money. There was a very fruitful meeting with good participation. Bid Openings - Airport Gift Shop, and Bar There was one bid for the gift shop, which was Mitch Dobrich for $400 per month. There were no bids on the bar so the Council negotiated with Lou Schilling, the present lessee for $750 per month. AIP Reauthorization Bill was a disappointment and the airport will loose about 23% of this funding next year. Airport Managers are writing letters to Transportation Secretary Pena to urge him to stop the downward trend of funding airport projects. Airport Commission October 13, 1994 Page 3 Kenai Municipal Airport Master Plan (KMAMP) The City has prepared a proposal to seek consulting firms to prepare the KMAMP. Ernst will be meeting with the FAA to finalize the scope of work. Hopefully a firm will be selected by January 1st. Then the airport will send off the grant application, the project is estimated at $200,000. Special Use Permit - Kenai Air Alaska, Inc. The special use permit would allow for customer vehicular parking adjacent to land leased by Kenai Air. A $500.00 annual parking fee is proposed and it will be for a 5 year period. MOTION AND VOTE: BONNIE KOERBER MOVED APPROVAL OF RENAI AIR SPECIAL USE PERMIT AND TO SEND IT ON TO COUNCIL AS A RECOMMENDATION. RON HOLLOWAY SECONDED. PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. 94\95 Budget the terminal will be getting new carpeting sometime next spring, at the cost of $44,000. Ernst is considering carpet tile as the pieces could be replaced if they are stained. Ernst checked prices to replace the front of the ticket counters and the estimate was for $17,000. This was more than Ernst expected and the project would have to go out to bid since it is over $10,000. This item will be carried over to next year's budget. Measles felt it would be nice to replace the front of the ticket counters in conjunction with the recarpeting. He suggested that Randy draft a proposal from the Airport Commission to Council for this project. Ernst invited the Commission to the terminal to view the counters. He will prepare a proposal for the Commission's recommendation at the next meeting. Ron Holloway suggested the Commission meet at the terminal immediately following the meeting. Tom Thibodeau asked what the time frame was to extend the Float Plane basin and taxiway? Ernst said both projects would require an environmental assessment of some sort. He would like to start working on funding immediately and possibly have it in the works for next year. The construction would not start until 196. Airport Commission October 13, 1994 Page 4 7. AIRPORT MANAGER'S REPORT Covered under New Business. 8. COMMISSION COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS Tom Thibodeau asked if there were persons interested in servinc on the Airport Commission? Randy Ernst did not think there was, but there was a need to fi the two vacancies as soon as possible. Tom Thibodeau asked if there were any projects the Commission should do for the airport? Ernst said there wasn't at this time. Ernst said once the electric gates are finished a letter will be sent to all airpor users to close their private gates, to keep the moose out of tt area. Tom Thibodeau wanted to pursue the idea of a camping area near the floatplane basin. Ernst said he didn't think there was any reason this couldn't be done. It wouldn't need to be too elaborate just an area on the south end of the basin. Tom Thibodeau noted the compass rose was complete and it loe' . good. Ray Measles encouraged the Commission to have input on the Kenc Airport Master Plan. Ernst said they may request that an Airpc Commissioner serve on the selection committee when all the proposals are obtained. 9. INFORMATION ITEMS 10.

ITEM 6: DIRECTOR•S REPORT McGillivray reported the following: KENAI PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES October 17, 1994 Page 2 a. National Parks & Recreation Conference - McGillivray attended the conference in Minnesota. There were interesting presentations. There was a lot of discussion in regard to the crime bill as there were a number of parts to the bill which will affect police departments and their programs for youth -at -risk. Amendments to the bill have been proposed to cut funding from the bill. It appears the youth -at -risk portion will involve parks and recreation programs. Funding is based on population. McGillivray did not know if funding will come to the City of Kenai for such a program. If it does, the Parks & Recreation Department will be working with the Kenai Police Department. McGillivray stated he expects to receive additional information from the National Parks & Recreation Association. b. Cone Property - McGillivray passed around some cost estimate for improvements to be made to Cunningham Park. A grant has been requested. If a grant is awarded, most of that funding will be used for the acquisition of three additional lots. A second grant will be requested to cover costs of the improvements. C. Softball Field Improvements - McGillivray reported the work on the softball fields has been completed. In the spring, additional work will be required to fill in where the ground will settle during the winter. ITEM 7: OLD BIISINESS None. ITEM 8: NEW BUSINESS a.

The letter referred to the discussion by Council at their work session; stated Council noted that member had missed a number of meetings during the year; and asked if the member wanted to continue on the commission, committee or board. Freas added the Council was concerned that some of the commissions were having a hard time obtaining a quorum for meetings. The Parks & Recreation, Airport and Harbor Commissions were those having the hardest time. Because of Council's concerns in regard to meeting attendance, ordinances would be introduced at the October 19 meeting which would amend portions of the code in regard to allowed absences. A copy of the ordinances had been sent to all commission, committee and board members for their review. If passed, one of the ordinances would amend KMC 1.90.050(b) which now allows for "excused" absences. Council requested this portion of the code be amended to shadow the code which regulates the amount of absences council may have from their meetings before they are removed from council, as follows: (b) (IF ANY MEMBER SHOULD HAVE THREE 93) CONSECUTIVE, UNEXCUSED ABSENCES FROM REGULAR MEETINGS OF THE BOARD, COMMISSION OR COMMITTEE, IT SHALL BE REASON FOR REMOVAL FROM THAT BOARD, COMMISSION OR COMMITTEE.] If the commission, committee or board member shall be absent from more than one-half of all the meetings of his/her committee commission or board regular and special held within any period of three consecutive calendar months he/she shall thereupon cease to hold the seat (brackets and capitals = remove; underline = add) NAI PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES October 17, 1994 Page 4 Discussion followed in regard to the amendments. Freas stated if the commission wanted to pass on suggestions for changing the amendment, a motion could be made and that information will be passed on to the Council for their review. Also, as stated in the memorandum included with the code amendments mailed to the members, input can be presented during the public hearings on the ordinances at the council meeting of November 2. Discussion to change the "three consecutive calendar months" to "six consecutive..." was discussed. The reason for this suggestion was because the commission, committee and board meetings are normally once a month. No motion was offered. Members stated they were fine with the amount of absences the amendment would allow. Freas added the Commission could also consider changing their feting date or the time of their meetings, if that would be stter enable its members to have better attendance. The Commission discussed changing their meeting date to the f irst Thursday of each month. MOTION: Commissioner Carlson MOVED to change the meeting date to the first Thursday of each month, starting in November. Commissioner Gifford SECONDED the motion. MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. SO ORDERED. Freas suggested this request to change the meeting date be forwarded to Council for their review at their October 19 meeting. Councilman Bannock stated he would advise the Council. Hultberg also informed the Commission if they want to not hold meetings at different times of the year (as they have done in the past), permission must be received first by Council. C. Goals & Objectives Update - McGillivray reported to the Commission the Council would be holding a work session on November 1 to prioritize its goals and objectives. McGillivray referred to the Commission's list of goals and objectives and reported those which were completed, i.e. Bernie Huss upgrade, ant -camping area, Old Town park upgrade, green strip completed, repair of playground equipment at Fourth Street Park and the KENAI PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES October 17, 1994 Page 5 reseeding of the Fourth Street Park area, etc. Work still to be completed included the expansion of Cunningham Park and beach work. d. Playground Equipment/1995 - McGillivray reported he and Bob Frates have inspected the playground equipment at the green strip and have found the bridge toy to be worn and the posts weakening. After their inspection and following discussions, they came to the conclusion replacement of the bridge toy needs to be at the top of their list of work for 1995. Also on the list of things to do is placement of restrooms in that area, however a grant has been requested for that work. The restroom work will probably not be done until 1996 if the grant is received. McGillivray added consideration may be given to development of a park in the Section 36 area as development in that area has begun. McGillivray suggested the Commission may want to begin park development in that area or continue working on parks the City already has developed. That work would include installation of restrooms on the softball green strip; establishing grass in Old Town Park area (inside the fence); continue tent camping development (up to Council); establish cross-country ski trail by the golf course (will require budgeting for equipment); outdoor basketball court at community park. Sandahl suggested their goals and objectives list have a fifth year added to include some of these suggested projects. Sandahl suggested a bike trail from Swires Road. Bannock reported it is included in the state's upgrade of the Spur Highway. Hultberg suggested paving a bike trail over the maintenance road for Thompson Park water and sewer line. McGillivray stated that has been considered, however placing a bridge over Beaver Creek presented many problems with the governing agencies (Corps of Engineers, etc.). Gifford suggested an additional swing set should be considered for placement at the community park. McGillivray suggested the funding to pay for a new toy to replace the bridge, etc. at the green strip may be able to be taken from the Daubenspeck funds. Commission members were given catalogs to review possible toys for replacement of the bridge, etc. KENAI PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES October 17, 1994 Page 6 3. Recreation Center Equipment - McGillivray reported the Teen Center has been very busy. The snack bar revenue has increased to approximately $75 a day during the weekends. The Teen Council has requested items to be placed at the Teen Center. They are: a. Jet hockey game - $50 b. Karoki machine - $1,000 C. Compact disk player - $200 d. 27" TV - $700 McGillivray reported at this time Frates has been allowing the teens to use his personal compact disk player. There is no money in the budget for these items. McGillivray suggested Daubenspeck money for the purchase of the items. McGillivray reported an ordinance will be introduced at the next meeting to appropriate $2,100 for disk jockey costs in order to have more dances at the Teen Center. Revenues received from dance charges and snack purchases will be placed back in the General Fund. MOTION: Commissioner Seibert MOVED to have $4,000 appropriated from the Daubenspeck funds to purchase new equipment for the Teen Center, i.e. jet hockey machine, karoki machine, compact disk player and 27" TV. Commissioner Carlson questioned the high cost for shipping and suggested shipping costs be requested to have the equipment sent to Seattle and then other arrangements be made for shipment to Kenai. Commissioner Gifford SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. Chairperson Hultberg stated the commission members have an obligation to visit the Center and be aware of their needs, etc. The Commission should show support for the facility.

Seeing and hearing none he brought it back to the Commission for discussion. Phil Bryson noted the staff comments regarding the renaming of lots 2-B to 2-B & 2-C, saying that would be handled at the Borough level. Planning & Zoning Commission September 28, 1994 Page 1 Jack La Shot noted the Finance Director's comments: "subdivider must allocate special assessment to the new lots" (per KMC 16.20.070).

Resolution PZ 94-46: Variance - Batir Creative Chairman Walker introduced the item and asked the pleasure of the Commission. MOTION: PHIL BRYSON MOVED APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION PZ 94-46. CARL GLICK SECONDED. Chairman Walker opened the item up for public comment. PUBLIC HEARING: Tony Doyle, 7984 Spur Highway, Kenai, stated he put these plans together for a garage, and a dining room addition over in Woodland Subdivision thinking he was within the setbacks. When he went to pull the permit, he found out the City Inspector considered the dining room addition into the rearyard setback, which is 20 feet. But, it was a corner lot, so Doyle was under the impression he had two sideyard setbacks. Doyle wished to obtain a variance and to clear up the issue as to whether this is indeed a sideyard or rearyard setback. Chairman Walker asked if the proposed addition to the rear of the home, was where Doyle believed he was within the sideyard setback? Tony Doyle, "Yes". Planning & Zoning Commission September 28, 1994 Page 2 Chairman Walker asked if there were any other persons who wished to testify on this item? Seeing and hearing none, he brought the item back to the Commission for discussion. Discussion: Resolution PZ 94 a: Variance -Doyle Phil Bryson commented that both sides of the structure are single -story, so if this was interpreted as a sideyard setback, the addition would be within the 5 foot requirement. Bryson read from the zoning code 14.20.320 Definitions: (76) "Yard, side" means a yard on each side of a main building extending from the front lot line to the rear lot line. In both cases, Bryson felt that the front lot line fronts on the dedicated ROW on both sides. So by definition, that defines along the adjacent property line as being a sideyard, not a rearyard. Therefore, Bryson did not feel Doyle needed to request a variance since there is no encroachment. Ron Goecke said he concurred with Bryson but felt it would be in the owner's best interest to obtain the variance. If they went to sell the property in the future and this was interpreted as an encroachment, there could be problems. If the variance is granted now this would cover any future problems. Jack La Shot read definition (43) "Lot line -corner lot" means the shortest street line of a comer lot. Under that definition you might think the front lot line would make the garage addition an encroachment into the rearyard setback. Phil Bryson felt the side setback was established to protect the adjacent property owner, it's not unlikely that on both sides, that would be a side setback that needs to be conformed to. Say lot 20 or lot 1 had a concern about setback, both 20 and 1 would be setting back from that same lot line, which makes it a side setback, or at least, lot 20. Carl Glick said Goecke's concern would be covered in the decision the Commission made for the record. Jack La Shot said he had no problem with this permit. Anytime you have a 25 foot setback on a corner lot it reduces the buildable area considerably. Chairman Walker felt it might behoove the Commission to pass the variance. He agreed with the Building Official's assessment that there was an encroachment, but felt it would be the garage addition from the portion of the code Jack read. Ron Goecke called for the question.

NEW BUSINESS a. Resolution PZ 94-48: Landscaping/Site Plan Review/Craycroft Chrysler Chairman Walker introduced the item and asked the pleasure of the Commission. MOTION: RON GOECKE MOVED APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION PZ 94-48. TERESA WERNER-QUADE SECONDED. Chairman Walker asked if there was anyone who wished to comment on this item. Councilman Duane Bannock, representing Craycroft Chrysler, 10288 Kenai Spur Highway, stated the proposal is an extension of their existing building. He noted two corrections to the submitted drawing, that had to do with the drainage. At the front of the building, the south side, there are three marks called drainage, or field outlets. The left field outlet is actually on the other side of Marathon Road and the arrow should be going in the other direction, to the right, eastward. Chairman Walker asked for questions or comments from the Commission. Seeing and hearing none he asked for a roll call vote. VOTE Landscaping/Site Plan Review-Craycroft Chrysler: Bryson Goecke Toppa Werner-Quade McComsey Glick Walker YES YES YES YES YES YES YES MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. b. Country Foods - John Steinbeck Chairman Walker introduced the item and asked the pleasure of the Commission. Planning & Zoning Commission September 28, 1994 Page 4 MOTION: RON GOECKE MOVED TO APPROVE ALTERATIONS TO THE ORIGINAL SITE PLAN FOR COUNTRY FOODS. CARL GLICK SECONDED. Chairman Walker clarified this was an addition to a previously approved siteplan and asked it there were persons present who wished to address this item. John Steinbeck, explained he had two cosmetic additions to the original plan the Commission reviewed. The reason they were not on the original plan is because they did not think they would be complete this year. One addition is on Barnacle Way. The reason they wanted that is to direct some of the traffic from the front door to the side door for wholesale customers, such as the restaurants in town. In order to facilitate this there is a set of steps and a sidewalk out there and the way it's design now, everything slopes back into the building. They are building a roof out over the loading area to protect the steps and sidewalks so there wouldn't be a problem in the wintertime. When the carpenters built the roof they went out to the sidewalk, which is over the property line. This will be cut back to the property line. The second addition is on the north side of the building which is the little leanto storage shed which was added on many years ago. Prior to this time there was an HEA power pole there. Now the electricity is underground and he wanted to bring that addition out even with the front of the building and come in with a second story. This will balance this out with the other side of the building. It's all storage, and when it's finished it will all look like the same building. Chairman Walker asked if there were questions for Mr. Steinbeck. Seeing and hearing none he brought it back to the Commission. Phil Bryson said he would be abstaining from this item as his firm was working on this project. Ron Goecke called for the question.

Kenai Soil and Water Conservation District Input Chairman Walker read a portion of the back page of the letter in the packet: The Kenai Soil and Water Conservation District Board would like to have your input on these or any other concerns or opportunities you may have about the resources in our area and noted the next meeting date. Walker asked for Commission input. The Commission had no comments at this time. 7. OLD BUSINESS 8. CODE ENFORCEMENT ITEMS Chairman Walker noted the item regarding a possible code violation for AAA Taxi (Brent Hibbert) at 1385 Chisik, and asked the pleasure of the Commission. MOTION: RON GOECKE ASKED THAT RESOLUTION 93-8 BE BROUGHT FORWARD FOR REVIEW. TERESA WERNER-QUADE SECONDED. Chairman Walker did not feel that the resolution could be brought forward again. However, the Commission could request that Administration take action to enforce the code. Ron Goecke asked to withdraw the motion. Phil Bryson made a point of order, to see if the Commission had an objection to withdrawal of the motion. Chairman Walker noted the point of order and requested that the Commissioners concerned withdraw the motion, before another motion was considered. Ron Goecke concurred, as did second. MOTION WITHDRAWN. Councilman Smalley, noted that if the violator had not complied with the conditions of the permit within the time allocated by the City, Administration could withdraw the CUP. Jack La Shot said the letter which was originally sent dealt with parking of vehicles on a lot across from the business. Mr. Hibbert complied with that letter, but the City has received other complaints regarding this operation and that's why it was brought back before the Commission. Planning & Zoning Commission September 28, 1994 Page 6 MOTION: RON GOECKE MOVED THAT THE CITY INFORM MR. HIBBERT TO FOLLOW THE FULL INTENT OF HIS CUP AND IF HE FAILS TO DO SO THE CUP WILL BE WITHDRAWN AND HE WILL NOT BE*ABLE TO OPERATE FROM HIS LOCATION. LORI MCCOMSEY SECONDED. Chairman Walker recommended that Staff talk with Mr. Hibbert besides sending the letter and inform them of any violations of the Code. VOTE: Possible Code Violation, AAA Taxi - 1385 Chisik Bryson Goecke Toppa Werner-Quade McComsey Glick Walker YES YES YES YES YES YES YES MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. 9. REPORTS a. City Council Councilman Smalley reported on agenda items: Joel Kopp - Kenai Peninsula Green Star Program, presented a program to establish the central peninsula area as a model community in promoting positive ecological attitudes to encourage compatible business and environmental objectives. The Council voted to participate in this program. Resolution No. 94-59: Supporting the Concept of Improving Cunningham Park and Authorizing the City Administration to Apply for a Grant of Up to $500,000 to acquire Additional Lands, Upgrade and enhance the Park, and to Help Restore Recreation Services to Areas Impacted by the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill (EVOS). Council passed this Resolution with an amendment to strike the reference to the EVOS, and to apply for any grants available for refurbishing parks within the city. Also Council discussed the possibility of rezoning a large adjacent parcel which the State has identified as critical wildlife habitat. The Council would also like to remove the boat launch as it was an unapproved addition to the park. Jack La Shot reported that Administration and the Mayor had met with Fish & Game and State Parks Representatives to discuss this concept. One of the items discussed was the possibility that the City rezone property south of Cone's to Conservation. The Commission will probably review this item at the October 12th meeting. The rezone will include all wetlands, and exclude uplands. Planning & Zoning Commission September 28, 1994 Page 7 Chairman Walker expressed concern that the City would spend $1,000,000 in two areas so close together, and then give up land to Conservation, which may lock up the land. This was a complete change from the previous stance Council has taken on such items, and Walker found this disheartening. Councilman Smalley also invited the Commission to the open house for the new Habitat for Humanity house on Sunday, October 2, at 3:00 p.m. b. Borough Planning Commission Phil Bryson reported the Commission received testimony concerning a proposed gas lease/sale-85A, in Cook Inlet. This was a revision of the original lease 85, and there will be a public hearing on this revised lease, the testimony will be forwarded to the State. The only plat germane to the City of Kenai was Willow Professional Center Part 2, which the Commission had approved at a previous meeting. Councilman Smalley noted that the Assembly took an action which would have an impact on Kenai River habitat. Smalley is requesting that a copy of this action be forwarded to the Commission for information. Bryson said there is a proposed ordinance, which will be introduced at the next Assembly meeting dealing with the Kenai River Overlay District. Administration has noted they will be seeking input from the various Planning Commissions. c. Administration Jack La Shot reported that Administration was working on the above referenced grant applications. d. Historic District Board 10. PERSONS PRESENT NOT SCHEDULED 11. INFORMATION ITEMS 12. COMMISSION COMMENTS & QUESTIONS Teresa Werner-Quade: She passed out a cartoon related to the Soldotna Planning and Zoning Commission and felt it was important for the Commission to look at this in light of future actions which they might take. She hoped the Kenai Commission would be viewed in a positive light by Kenai's citizens. Planning & Zoning Commission September 28, 1994 Page 8 Bill Toppa: None Ron Goecke: Welcomed Bill Toppa to the Commission. Carl Glick: None. Phil Bryson: None. Lori McComsey: Stated she would not be able to attend the next meeting Chairman Walker: Welcomed Toppa to the Commission and noted he would be sworn in at the next meeting as the proper paper work would be available for that meeting. Walker said he would be watching the changes along the Kenai River and reiterated his concern about the City considering locking up such tremendous areas of land. Ron Goecke: With the staff looking at rezoning the area near Cones, he wondered if the property along Angler's Drive could be rezoned Recreational. Hal Smalley: Said in the past such rezoning of private land has been initiated by the landowners. It would be appropriate to speak with some of the land owners to see if they would wish to bring such an action forward. 13. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business Carl Glick moved to adjourn.

Manninen, City Manager y1- City of Kenai w tr 210 Fidalgo Avenue, Suite 200 \ r Kenai, AK 99611-7794 y' Dear Mr. Manninen: My staff has reviewed eleven Letters of Intent submitted for FY'95 Certified Local Government historic preservation grants. I expect that there will be about $40,000 available for the program. Assuming that the City of Kenai is a Certified Local Government by February, the proposed project is eligible for historic preservation program funding. The following comments from my staff are to assist your program manager in preparing the final application. CLG Certification Be sure to allow enough time for the certification process. Once a CLG certification application is considered complete by my staff, the State Historic Preservation Officer has 45 days for review followed by 15 working days for review by the National Park Service. Budget Keep in mind that the dollar figures should not be rounded off, as actual figures are used in the accounting process. The contractual services sections should explain the function of each position, the work each person will accomplish, the estimated hours each person will spend on the project, and each person's hourly rate of pay. Resumes or job descriptions for all professional persons working on the project must be included on the final application. The supplies category should identify specific costs for telephone, postage, office supplies, film, and the like. Clearly identify the source of funds such as cash, in -kind and/or donation. Donations are those services and materials provided by individuals or organizations other than the CLG. In -kind services and materials are those provided by and paid for by the CLG. Donations cannot exceed 40% of the total project costs. Sponsors will be reimbursed for cash expenditures up to 60% of total project costs, less the state surcharge. The Office of History and Archaeology (OHA) must be part of the review process for all projects and this will add time to the work schedule. Draft copies of all materials to be printed must be provided to OHA for content review at least two months prior to the project completion date of March 30, 1996. Project Description With the limited amount of funding available, it is possible that the Alaska Historical Commission may recommend that part of the project be funded. Staff suggested that you submit a description outlining how this work could be done in two phases and recommend dividing survey and inventory. Identifying the work based on historic contexts or property types is an effective organizational tool. If you choose to submit a request for doing a survey, please include the following: • Identify what other surveys for buildings and archaeological sites have been done in Kenai • Estimate the number of properties to be surveyed • Include a draft survey form that is compatible with the Alaska Heritage Resource Survey (AHRS) • Include a map showing the boundaries of the area to be surveyed • Identify what the final product will include. Will it include photographic documentation? How many copies will be made and to whom will it be distributed? OHA requires seven copies of all final products. Project Assistance - To assist you with your project, enclosed are the following materials: • National Register Bulletin 24, Guidelines for Local Surveys: A Basis for Preservation Planning • Alaska Comprehensive Historic Preservation Plan Contexts - to help you identify and organize Kenai's history and historic resources • AHRS information Please call me at 762-2622 if you wish to discuss these comments. Staff members are available to review a draft copy of the application prior to the deadline (fax to 762-2535). Completed grant applications must be postmarked by December 9, 1994, and must be signed by an authorized representative of the local governing body. cerely, Jul th E.

HISTORIC BOARD REVIEW Historic District Board October 25, 1994 Page 1 6. NEW BUSINESS a. Ornamental Lighting Poles - Old Town Jack La Shot reported the Mayor and City Council had asked the Board to help in the selection of these lights. They were proposing 3 to 4 lights at this time. however, there has been discussion to light the streets from the Kenai Bicentennial Visitor and Cultural Center (KBVCC). The project may be started in the summer of 1995. Alan Boraas did not feel this would be an accurate historic development in Old Town as there were never any gas lamps in that area. The kind of lighting would give the zone a Hometown USA effect, which is not what Old Town was, or is. Karen Mahurin felt the area will be changed when the street is paved, and if there is lighting included in the project, it should be consistent with the history of the area. Jim Arness said the only lights he could ever recall in this area of the city were on the front of the houses. Arness thought the Board should take the whole project in context and have input on the entire project. The question is whether to create what looks good or what is historic. Amess felt it would be appropriate to recommend to not select this type of lighting. Alan Boraas felt in order to have a comprehensive plan for the area the city needed to establish what was there. Boraas showed a map which was believed to be the earliest map of the area, the native village was in the area now known as Old town, and also indicates that most of the Russian structures were also in that area. He believe there were dirt paths beneath where the pavement is. He felt an archeologist should do a survey under the area to be repaved, because there may be a lot of valuable information there. He was not against the lighting but thought it was premature to be choosing it, when there was more work to be done. Jim Arness informed the Board that a different street plan had been discussed which would have taken the road through the Fish and Wildlife property. One of the objections was that an historical survey would have to be accomplished before that could be done. Dorothy Gray said one of the reasons for the street repaving was the legal aspect that this is not a public street. At this point 50,000 tourists a year go onto private land, which makes the Church liable. The City and Church have an agreement and the City maintains the street. If the City obtained the easement the Church would no longer be liable. Gray had talked with the Architects at the National Park Service in Anchorage, they felt the street should be on the original pattern in order to preserve the historical character of the zone. Historic District Board October 25, 1994 Page 2 Roger Meeks noted any areas in Kenai which have utilities have been excavated, without architectural studies. The only area that was disturbed was between the church and Fort Kenay which is where they installed the sewer line. This area, plus down to Arness's office and around to Bay View Arms, and the Fish & Wildlife property are probably the only undisturbed areas in Old Town. That's where most of the history would be. MOTION: ALAN BORAAS MOVED THAT THE LIGHT DISCUSSION BE POSTPONED UNTIL IT CAN BE INCORPORATED INTO THE BROADER PLAN FOR MISSION STREET. JIM ARNESS SECONDED. DISCUSSION: Karen Mahurin said she hated to not take advantage of lighting which would be incorporated in the street plan. She didn't feel there was a way to properly depict the lighting when there was no electricity. Lights help to define an area which is something the Board wishes to do. She wanted to clarify that the motion was to just postpone a selection of lighting before she would support it. Boraas said the intent was not to delete the lighting at this time, but to postpone the discussion regarding lighting until the project can be taken in context and the community can decide what they want in that area. Boraas felt that street lighting was important in that area, but did not want to get stuck with a decision too early in the process. Dorothy Gray asked for a vote on postponing the decision until the lighting can be included in the total plan. VOTE: MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. 7. OLD BUSINESS a. Outline Historic Preservation Plan Chairperson Gray explained that the ordinance was in place but now the Board needed to establish a plan. This was the last criteria for the City to become a Certified Local Governement. The plan should be comprehensive and examines the many different historic aspects of the area, and also contain a statement of the goals and objectives. She asked the group to brainstorm ideas for the plan. Historic District Board October 25, 1994 Page 3 Items were: Goals & Objectives/Mission Statement Survey of the historical sites already identified Survey of the historic district according to the ordinance and Alaska State guidelines Survey of historic sites outside of the zone Archeological study Nominations for future historic sites Current and past preservation efforts Educating the community Acquisition of property Maps and current zoning Trails Develop Signage Development recommendations Roger Meeks said the archeological study should start before the paving project. That would include to Overland around, through the Church to Arness's office. That's the only area that could be studied now, since that's the only area the city has an agreement with the church to utilize. Alan Boraas added the survey should include a broad spectrum, including subsurface, old buildings, anything the area has of an historic nature. A lot of it is known, but a lot may not be known. Roger Meeks asked Gray what the Council's response was to the recommendation from the Board to begin the acquisition of property between Overland, Upland and Mission Street? Gray said they did not respond, but they had to follow meeting protocol and this was not a discussion item, Gray was just presenting the issue. Gray asked Loretta Harvey to get the list out to the Board as soon as possible so they could consider it more closely for the next meeting. b. Mission Street Project Alan Boraas reiterated the importance of an archeological survey being performed before the Mission Street project is started. Chairperson Gray recommended Boraas contact Jim Childers, the head of the project from Anchorage, because he said there may be funds available for such a project. Boraas noted if this is a federally funded project the survey would be required. Gray said they had told the city a survey is not required on an already developed road. Historic District Board October 25, 1994 Page 4 Rose Ann Murphy noted it had never been a dedicated road. Boraas felt it would be the State Preservation Office's responsibility to make sure a survey was completed. Gray said they had been informed of this. Jim Arness thought the Board should take the Mission Street project on as one of their duties. He thought the Board should review the project and pass on recommendations to the proper people. He felt it was important the Board be proactive not reactive. MOTION: KAREN MAHURIN MOVED THAT THE CHAIRMAN NOTIFY THE COUNCIL IN WRITING THAT AN ARCHEOLOGICAL SURVEY BE DONE BEFORE THE MISSION STREE` 'PRt' UEfflW-STARTE-ALAN'SORAAS-'SECONDEW Jim Arness felt it was the Board's responsibility to take action on projects going on in this zone and thought the Board should be involved in the overall project. One of the recommendations regarding the project would be the archeological survey. Karen Mahurin said she was just concerned that the archeological survey be done in conjunction with Mission Street paving by the church. VOTE: YES=7 NO=1 Jim Arness Chairperson Gray thought the Board desired to have input on this project since it would be a focal point of the district, and also make sure an archeological study be done in conjunction with he project. She asked Jack La Shot if he could give a comprehensive report on the Mission Street Project at the next meeting. La Shot said he would work on this. c. Grant Application Jack La Shot reported the grant was due by December 9th. Staff will be able to prepare most of the grant but the Board should help with certain items. For example, if the city hires someone to do the survey, resumes must be attached. Also, if private property will be entered, written permission must be attained. La Shot explained the grant will not be approved until the City has received CLG status so it is important to establish the Preservation Plan in conjunction with working on the grant.

ITEM B: SCHEDULED PUBLIC COMMENT B-1. Dorothy Gray - Proposed Projects/Townsite Historic Board. Ms. Gray reported she had been requested by the Townsite Historic Board to give an update of the Board's progress to the City KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 19, 1994 PAGE 3 Council. The Board has set its goals and projects. They felt it important to produce a preservation plan for the Old Town district. They feel it is necessary to work with the Planning Department, Planning & Zoning Commission, and City Council to put together a comprehensive plan. Identification of historical properties, etc. are needed for the city. In working together, they will address tourism, economic development, parks, buildings, streets, etc. The Board feels a necessary step in this process is to inform the property owners and citizens of what they foresee for the future and how the ordinance is the basic step. It has been suggested this could be a time for possible incentive for property owners to help with the preservation plan. Gray requested Council become actively involved in pursuing a comprehensive plan for the area. Gray reported some of the topics the Board has discussed as projects for their consideration: a. Board would like the Council to go ahead and find out about ownership of the properties included in the Historic District for inclusion in a historical park. Council could either purchase or trade the land in order to preserve the property. b. Beach trail - The Board has requested City Engineer La Shot to find out if ISTEA funding would be available for the improvement of the trail, etc. C. Street improvements - The Board would like to work on street improvements for the Historic District area. Also they would like an update of the status of the Fish & Wildlife facility. d. Bluff erosion/Sand dunes - Consider closing the beach road to motorized vehicles completely. Allow only foot traffic. e. Signage - Consider placing a nice sign indicating the area Old Town includes, etc. f. Dena'ina Heritage - Incorporate the Dena'ina heritage in the preservation plan. The site on which Kenai Packers is now situated was the original site of the Dena'ina village. They would like to incorporate that area into their preservation plan. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 19, 1994 PAGE 4 g. Joint Work Session - Requested Council to set a joint work session to include Council, Planning & Zoning and Historic Board to develop a preservation plan for the City of Kenai. Smalley asked if the Board has reviewed the Kasprisin Report and the City Comprehensive Plan. Gray answered they have seen them. Smalley reported the Planning & Zoning Commission has set a goal to review the Comprehensive Plan this year. Bookey asked if the Board has discussed incorporating the bluff area. Gray answered the Task Force had identified it as one of seven projects. Bookey stated he agrees with what they want to do, but believes the water and sewer problems will need short- term attention. Bookey added he hoped Council will not forget the other items they have stated. No work session was set. No action taken. ITEM C: PUBLIC HEARINGS C-1. Ordinance No. 1606-94 - Increasing Estimated Revenues and Appropriations by $39,500 in a New Capital Project Fund for an Environmental Site Assessment of Lots 13 and 14, Cook Inlet Industrial Air Park.

KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 19, 1994 PAGE 6 D-3. Harbor Commission Councilman Bookey reported the Commission met on October 10. The minutes of the meeting were included in the packet. Bookey added it was a short meeting. Most of the discussion involved the storm, high tide, and the bluff damage done. D-4. Library Commission Councilwoman Monfor reported the minutes of the last meeting were included in the packet. Monfor added a large amount of the discussion included Intellectual Freedom. D-5. Parks & Recreation Commission Councilman Bannock reported the Commission met on October 17. Much of the discussion included the results of the Council's September 21 work session. The Commission decided to change the monthly meeting date to the first Thursday of the month to encourage better attendance. Bannock asked if Council had any objections to the change in meeting day. Vice Mayor Measles asked if there was any conflict with other meetings on that date. Clerk Freas stated there are no other commissions, committees or boards meeting on that day. Council had no objections. Bannock stated the Commission reviewed their goals and objectives established earlier in the year. Bannock reported eight of the ten goals had been completed, including the tent camping area and the improvements to the Bernie Huss Fitness Trail. Returning to Item D-4, Councilwoman Monfor noted a memorandum included in the packet which requests the Library Commission's regular meeting of November 2 be forwarded to December 6. The reason for the request was so commission members may attend the Council's work session at which they plan to prioritize their goals and objectives. There was no objection to the request move the meeting to December 6. D-6. Planning & Zoning Commission Councilman Smalley reported a copy of the meeting agenda was included in the packet. The Vozar request for a conditional use KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 19, 1994 PAGE 7 permit was removed from the agenda as the applicant removed their application. P&Z Resolution No. 94-50, to rezone city property adjoining the Cone property was approved. Smalley reported Jim Butler (attorney for Cone) and Suzanne Fisler (State Parks) attended the meeting. Fisler suggested the rezone of the property would assist the City in doing some of its projects in that area. He asked if the State would put that statement in writing. Fisler did not volunteer to do so. Fisler stated the State is very happy the City is doing this and would probably look favorably on city projects. Smalley also reported Commissioner Bryson informed them the Borough is rezoning some of its rural area within the Borough. They have had very interesting discussions. The Commission also reviewed the Borough's proposed ordinance to establish an overlay district along the Kenai River. Smalley added the Commission will be keeping close attention to the matter. D-7. Miscellaneous Commissions and Committees Beautification Committee - Councilwoman Swarner reported there was no quorum for the Committee's last meeting. Swarner also noted a letter was included in the packet from the Committee vice -chair requesting the Council's permission to cancel their regular meetings for November, December and possibly January. Measles asked if the Committee intended to hold a meeting in January or not. Measles noted minutes of the October 11 meeting stated they will be meeting in January. There was no objection for the waiver of the Beautification Committee's November and December meetings. Historic District Board - Smalley noted the request of the Historic Board to remove Will Jahrig from the Board (due to lack of attendance) and replace him with Mr. Malanaphy. Smalley stated Malanaphy is very well qualified, however he lives outside the city. Smalley stated he believed another appointment from outside the city would not be allowed by code. Smalley urged Malanaphy to volunteer time and share his expertise. Monfor stated Malanaphy fits the categories needed for certification. Measles stated the code defines how many members KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 19, 1994 PAGE 8 can be from outside of the city. Measles asked if Jahrig had been notified. Clerk Freas stated she sent a letter to Jahrig and has received no response. ITEM E: MINUTES E-1. Regular Meeting of October 5, 1994. Approved by consent agenda. ITEM F: None.

Approved by consent agenda. H-8. Discussion - Kenai Peninsula Caucus/1995 Statement of Legislative Positions. Councilman Smalley referred to Page 10, Item B(2), Aviation -- Soldotna Runway Resurfacing. Smalley asked Director Ernst what the situation is at that airport. Ernst stated he had not heard anything new. Ernst added he did not think the resurfacing would happen right away. The Soldotna Airport receives funding from State contingency funds and not from AIP money. Smalley also questioned Page 11, Item D, Correctional Facilities. Smalley suggested the Wildwood Facility should be in first place considering the problems that have arisen with funding the facility. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 19, 1994 PAGE 10 Councilwoman Monfor stated the omission of the Kenai Health Center was a blatant error and should be added at page 11, Item E, Health Facilities. Smalley agreed, saying the Health Center is a number -one priority. Measles stated he personally had a problem with the whole report. Measles requested Council give some thought to the report and bring it back to the November 2, 1994 meeting. There were no objections. H-9. Discussion - safety/voluntary Inspection. Kornelis referred to a memorandum from Rachel Clark which was included in the packet. Kornelis stated the Public Works Department recommends it undergo a voluntary safety inspection by OSHA. It would be three to four months before an inspection would take place. It has been four years since their last OSHA inspection. The inspection would be done at no charge and would identify areas not in compliance with OSHA codes. Measles asked what the down -side to the inspection would be. Clark (from the audience) stated if non-compliance items were found, the City would have to make the corrections. Time would be given to make corrections. Voluntary inspections are not involved with the regulatory group. Reports are not passed on to the regulatory group. Bookey asked if they have conducted in-house inspections for some idea of whether they are in compliance. Kornelis stated an OSHA inspection was held four years ago and changes needed to be made after that inspection. Bookey asked if Kornelis believed there would be any major expenditures. Kornelis stated he did not know. Bookey stated he was concerned that since the City has not implemented its health and safety plan, there could be a mandate of 60-90 days in which to make corrections. Bookey asked if the information would be included in the safety plan. Kornelis stated yes. Kornelis added they have been training a number of employees, however, it will take some time to do all the training. The City's Health and Safety Plan is close to being finished. They have sent for some additional information to compare the City's plan for completeness. What has been done so far will get the City by. It is an very extensive plan. There will be a lot of hours put into the preparation of the plan. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 19, 1994 PAGE 11 Measles stated he believed the inspection is one of the necessary evils that sometimes have to be done. Measles added he did not take comfort in reading they would "...generally be given 90 days to complete..." and "...would probably not be able to cite us for the same violation." With his experience with inspections, he is a bit leery, but it is something that needs to be done. Smalley stated it was an "unfunded evil" and that he supported doing the inspection. Measles asked if the Council had any objections to going ahead with the voluntary safety inspection. There were none. Kornelis was directed to go ahead with the voluntary safety inspection. H-10. Discussion - Contract Amendment/Alaska Courthouse Site - Contaminated Soil Remediation. Kornelis referred to R. Clark's 10/12/94 memorandum included in the packet. The memorandum stated all of the soil at the courthouse has been washed and approximately 7,000 cubic yards has been disposed of off -site. The contractor is unable to remediate the remaining 750 cubic yards of soil by the scheduled project completion date of September 30, 1994. Bookey asked if the contractor will be able to take care of the fines themselves, because the memorandum states the contractor was suggesting moving the soil to another site. Kornelis stated that is part of the agreement. They would like to get the soil off the site and clear the area in order to have the site assessment of the two lots (Lots 13 and 14). The amendment to the contract allows the contractor to remove the soil from the site and be subject to liquidated damages from the September 30 date until the soil is off the site and then the contractor would take full responsibility for cleaning it. Bookey asked if the $63,000 would be enough to cover the costs. Kornelis stated the contractor would be guaranteeing to clean the soil and meet DEC approval off site. That money would be kept in case there was a problem and the work was not done. The contractor's bond would continue to be held liable. Bookey asked if then the City would have the $400,000 bond, plus the $63,000. Kornelis stated yes. Attorney Graves added it is their understanding that the performance bond would remain in effect and the City would be withholding the $63,000. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 19, 1994 PAGE 12 Bookey stated he was not comfortable with moving the soil to another site, not knowing to what site they would be taking the soil. Rachel Clark (from the audience) stated the site would be up to approval by the City. At this time, it would be taken to the City of Soldotna where the cleaned material has been taken. The 750 cubic yards of soil would be stockpiled and cleaned next year. Bookey reminded Council that when the contractor came before Council, he stated they would be able to do all the work and not have to "bio" anything and the soil would be cleaned on site. Councilwoman Swarner had asked if they would be able to handle the work to the very end, i.e. to the destruction of the cartridges and that no materials would be transferred off the site. Now the contractor is saying they cannot fulfill their contract. Kornelis stated the contractor did come to them and stated there was a change in site conditions because the city had introduced some heavy oils from the lots and several other things. After discussion, the contractor amended their statement and said there was not a change in the site condition. Kornelis stated the amendment was worked out over a period of time and they have been negotiating it for quite a while to try to give the contractor something in return for getting the soils off the lots and to begin on the site assessment. Also to keep the City held harmless from any problems with the cleaning of the 750 cy of soil. Bookey asked Attorney Graves if he was comfortable with the proposed amendment, considering the City's liability. Graves stated the City is requiring the contractor to hold the city harmless from any liability for moving the soil. As long as they are a viable company and Rachel thinks they'll do it correctly, and DEC approves it, there's is still a possible risk because it is the city's dirt, even though they will take possession of it. Graves added be believes Rachel, from an engineer's point of view, is satisfied with the process as long as the plan gets DEC approval. Graves added they wanted to get the dirt off site in order to go forward with Phase 2 of the program, i.e. the site assessment of Lots 13 and 14. The amendment will do that and Rachel feels relatively sure the contractor will complete the project. There is enough incentive through withholding money and their performance bond, that the contractor will complete the project. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 19, 1994 PAGE 13 Bookey stated he would feel comfortable as long as the original bond is still in tact. For $63,000 the contractor could walk away from the project. If it would cost $195,000 to clean the remaining 750 cy, the city is left holding the bag again for the contaminated soils which would then be off the city site and possibly contaminating someone else's site. Graves stated the city does not intend to release the bond until the work is completed, which is when DEC says the work is complete. Clark (from the audience) stated until confirmation is received from DEC saying the work is complete, there is no reason to release the bond. If released prior to that, it would allow the potential of harming the city. Bookey stated as long as the city is in possession of the soils, it is not endangering itself like it would if the soils were on another site. Bookey asked if there was some other way to do the work at the city's site. Kornelis stated not at this time due to the cold weather. Also, work can be started on the site assessment if the soil is moved. Kornelis stated along with the bond and the $63,000, there would also be the agreement saying the contractor will complete the work, etc. If the contractor tries to renege, they could be taken to court. The biggest risk would be if this soil would contaminate other soils. Kornelis stated the contamination is not a real high concentration. Clark stated it was 200 parts per million. Clark added the soil has to be stockpiled appropriately, i.e. on liners, with liners over the top, etc. Bookey stated his biggest problem was that the contractor stated before the Council and assured them they could take care of the whole project. This contractor probably would not have been awarded the contract if Council had known the project would go in this direction. Smalley asked if the City would be held harmless if there would be contamination at another site. Measles stated only in the agreement. Kornelis stated DEC would have a copy of the agreement and would be involved in the process and would be watching it. Measles stated DEC first has to approve the new site and permit the contractor to relocate the soils from one KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 19, 1994 PAGE 14 site to another. However, the City can never be completely removed from the liability between here and the new site or after it gets to the new site. Smalley asked what if Council says no to the agreement. Kornelis stated they would not be able to move the soil off -site and they could not reclaim the soils during the winter. The work would have to wait until next summer. Clark stated the city could assess liquidated damages and perhaps go after the bond. Bannock asked if going that route would cost them more than $63,000. Kornelis stated yes. The contractor would probably try to put some of the blame on the city. Bannock asked if there was any blame to place on the city. Kornelis stated they did not think so. Bannock stated that would eliminate the potential of the city's contaminated soils contaminating other soil. Clark stated saying no would not allow the site assessment to be done. Kornelis reminded Council the city also brought soils from the airport to those lots for cleaning. That was not part of the original contract. However, the contractor has been paid for that work. The contractor is saying they had not anticipated or expected to have any heavy oils. The contractor is saying the heavy oils is what is causing the bio-remediation problems. The city disagrees with that statement because in an earlier analysis of the site, of which the contractor had a copy, it was noted there was visibly stained soils of which some was from heavy oils. Bookey asked if they were saying the soils brought from the airport were the cause. Kornelis stated they are saying there were heavy oils and they were not expected, nor was it in the report, therefore the city changed the conditions and that this is not their responsibility. Kornelis stated they told the contractor no, that the city gave them all the test results in which it was stated there possibly were some heavy oils. Monfor recapped the scenario as the City lets the contractor take the contaminated soil off site. The contractor takes the contaminated soil to an approved DEC site. Therefore, that would remove the City's liability because DEC has approved the process? Measles stated no, no one is ever "off the hook" when dealing with contaminated soils. Monfor asked even though DEC has approved the site and the placement of the soil on the site, the City continues to be liable. Answer was yes. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 19, 1994 PAGE 15 Kornelis stated the theory is that whoever originally caused the contamination is liable until the contamination is 100% cleaned up. Kornelis added the soil would be placed on a heavy liner. The only way the soil beneath would become contaminated is if the liner would tear, etc. DEC's policy is that the City would remain responsible for the soil, even though they are agreeing the process is acceptable. Kornelis stated 750 cy is equivalent to 75 truck loads. Measles asked Attorney Graves what would happen if the site assessment is not done this year. Graves stated the main reason for having the site assessment done as soon as possible on Lots 13 and 14 was because of the settlement discussions with the former PRP's on the courthouse site. Everyone wants to know what is under Lots 13 and 14 before they sign off on the settlement. Graves added there is a lot of money involved. Some of the parties want to know as soon as possible because they want to settle. Graves went on to say they wanted to clear the site in order have the site assessment done and to get a preliminary report back in January. The risk is (if the agreement before them is not signed) the settlement negotiations would be delayed because parties may not want to proceed with settlement without knowing as much as possible what is under the ground. Graves stated the City would like to know what is under the ground before proceeding much further. Graves stated the question is how much risk is the City taking while moving the soil and storing it. This is somewhat of an engineering question. Kornelis and Clark feel it's a fairly acceptable risk. The soil is not highly contaminated. The engineering consensus is that is should not be that big of a risk to contaminate other soils. However, risk is there. The contractor would initially be liable, but it is the City's soil. Measles stated his concern is that as soon as approval is given to move the soil to another location, from that point on it releases reliability from Grace Drilling and prior users of the property, for any downstream problems that might arise once the soil is moved. This is because Grace Drilling was not asked if it was okay to move the contaminated soil. Council would have made that decision. It would remove Grace Drilling from the liability. Even if the site is approved by DEC where the soil could be stockpiled, would not likely have a site assessment done before the soil is placed there. Even though it would be placed KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 19, 1994 PAGE 16 on a leak -proof liner and would be covered, etc., but five years from now, after that soil is cleaned up, if Soldotna digs in that area and finds contamination, it will be Kenai's contamination that put it there. Clark stated it would be the same site where the City has already placed 7,000 cy. This is a much smaller amount of soil and less contaminated. The 750 cy is contaminated at 100 parts per million which is legal. Measles stated 100 ppm is legal at this time, however, 1,000 ppm was legal just a few years ago. Smalley asked if the attachment of the bond could be for more than the $63,000 worth of work left on the project. Graves stated the bond is to complete the project, whatever cost that is, up to the bond amount. Bookey asked even if the soil would leave the original site and go to a different location. Kornelis stated if the contractor signs the amendment, yes. Bookey stated the contractor's bonding company has not approved it. It does not mean the bonding company will accept the liability. Bookey asked if there was any way the property could be evaluated with the 750 cy of soil still on the property, moving it from one side to the other. Clark stated it might be able to be done that way, however, it would be more costly. Bookey stated he would feel more comfortable moving the soil off site but placed on other City property. Bookey added he really has a problem taking the soil to another site out of the City because the City has no control of what could happen. Bookey was concerned this would add more to the problem which has been going on for years. Bookey stated he was not willing to take the risk at this point. Kornelis suggested placing the soil on property along Marathon Road. Clark asked if Council was willing to give the contractor enough room to land -farm the soil if that's what they want to do. Bookey stated he had little sympathy for the contractor as they stated they could do the work from the beginning. Bookey added he did not think the City should have to give them anything. The City paid to have the work done based on the original bid and the contractor stated they could do it right down to the end and now they can't. Monfor stated if the soil needs to be moved, it should be moved to property in the City of Kenai. Smalley stated he agreed with Bookey. He also felt very uncomfortable sending the soil to KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 19, 1994 PAGE 17 another city because in five years, the City would still be liable. Smalley added he thought the lots need to be assessed, but could only support moving the soil to another site in the city. Measles stated if one truck spilled soil between Kenai and Soldotna, it would cost approximately $300,000 before DEC would agree the roadway was clean. There is no easy way to handle the situation. There is no safe way. Bookey stated it really is not the City's problem to solve, it's the contractor's. Measles added the contractor assured Council they could do the job, on site, and there would be no problems. They made a commitment. The City made a commitment. The contractor needs to live up to his commitment. Smalley asked what difficulties the City would have with DEC since they have mandated the soil needs to be cleaned, etc. and it stays in place this winter. Kornelis stated probably none as long as it is properly stored. Kornelis added he thought the City could convince both the contractor and DEC to allow us to use another site in the City. Stockpile it properly. The contractor would do the work, pay for the liner, retain the liability and clean it next summer. Smalley stated he would feel more comfortable with that if Administration could work that out with the contractor. This would still require an amendment. Smalley added even when the contractor knew there was additional soils coming in, they still told Council they could do the work and meet the deadline. They have not. Swarner stated she was not ready to give the contractor any leeway. The contaminated soil should stay where it is. The contractor told the Council they would get the work done. Council should not let them move it. Smalley asked if she was suggesting the soil be moved to another site. Swarner stated no. Swarner added the contractor can be assessed damages beginning October 1 and stick with the contract. Bookey stated if the contractor does a "bio" situation, it could take two to three years or longer. It would probably take more than one season to do the work. If that is the case, the contractor could hire a dirt burner and finish the job. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 19, 1994 PAGE 18 Kornelis stated the amendment states the project must be completed by September 30, 1995. Liquidated damages would then begin October 1, 1995. Bookey stated he agrees with Councilwoman Swarner. Bannock asked what would be lost if the site assessment would not be completed this year and put it off until July, 1995. What would be the balance of risk doing that versus a transportation risk. Graves stated the reason to have the assessment done is because the settling parties at the courthouse want to know what's under the ground because there is liability under the soil. Except for knowing what's under there, most of the settlement discussions are completed. From his point of view, it would delay, for a period of time, the City's ability to enter into any settlement. If Council wishes to do that, it would only delay the discussion. Bannock stated the settlement would be a minimum of ten months away. That would be what the City would lose if the amendment was not approved. Graves stated it could, in some ways decrease the likelihood of settlement because some parties are wanting to settle now. Bannock asked if the soil gets moved to another site, would it be better to move it to the City shop area where there is already known contamination. Graves stated the City feels some of the contamination on the City shop property may have emanated from another site. If contaminated soil was placed on top, it would be harder to prove the contamination came from somewhere else. Graves advised not to place it at the city shop property. Bookey stated maybe the recourse the City has is the fees and fines that will be collected from the contractor for not completing the project on time would make the difference on the settlement on the other end. Bookey stated he would prefer the soil be left on the site and let the contractor worry about the problem. Vice Mayor Measles asked if there was a motion. MOTION: Councilman Bookey MOVED that we leave the dirt where it is and leave the contractor on the hook. MOTION FAILED FOR LACK OF SECOND. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 19, 1994 PAGE 19 Measles noted no action was needed. The contract is in place and in effect. Graves asked if the consensus of Council was to have the contractor do the work as they stated they would in the contract? Answer yes. Graves stated Clark needed to advise the contractor of Council's decision. Clark asked if Council wished to delay the site assessment. Answer was yes. Graves stated the site assessment may not be delayed if the contractor decides to complete the project now. Measles added they could complete the program if they decided to burn the soil. Faced with the liquidated damages, the contractor may decide they can complete the work this year. Smalley asked with the potential of difficulties with the underground of the lots and the potential settlements that could be lost, as the City Attorney, could Graves give a strong recommendation of what would be in the best interest of the City in order that he (Smalley) could make a decision. Graves stated there are competing interests. The Administration has a desire to clear the lot to proceed with the site assessment, but cannot deny the liability of moving the soil. No one could say it is not a risk. It's a judgement call between the risk of moving the soil and the site assessment delay. The site assessment does not absolutely have to be done by January. There is risk to move the dirt. Smalley asked if the risk (to move the dirt) greater than it is for settlement. Graves stated it is hard to quantify. Another factor is the legitimate desire for the Council to tell the contractor that this is what they contracted to do and they must do it. Graves added that is a legitimate decision. Smalley stated he supported the contractor completing the project as they originally contracted to do. Kornelis reminded Council Item C-3 was the award of the contract for the site assessment. Would Council want to reconsider the resolution or not award it until the other problem is decided. Clark stated the contract was for 90 days, with a completion date of January 1. Measles suggested Council to move for reconsideration of the resolution to award the site assessment contract to the next KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 19, 1994 PAGE 20 regularly scheduled council meeting. The contract then cannot be awarded. The resolution will then be on the table for reconsideration. Maybe by then Council will know if the contractor will or will not be able to complete the contaminated soil work this year. MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED for reconsider of Item C-3, Resolution 94-65 at the next regularly scheduled meeting. Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. There was no action taken on Item H-10, Discussion, Contract Amendment/Alaska Courthouse Site - Contaminated Soil Remediation. H-11. Approval - Special Use Permit - Kenai Air Alaska, Inc. Director Ernst stated the special use permit would allow for a 100' x 300' area to be designated as parking for Kenai Air. Doing this will clean up a problem that has been ongoing for some time. There will be a small bit of excavation needing to be done. This should be no problem. There is a place to put the dirt. The excavation will be done at Kenai Air's cost. MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED for approval of the Special Use Permit between the City of Kenai and Kenai Air Alaska, Inc. Councilwoman Monfor SECONDED the motion and requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. ITEM I: ADMINISTRATION REPORTS I-1. Mayor Measles reported Mayor Williams was still in Russia. He had heard there may be a delay in his returning. I-2. City Manager Acting City Manager Howard reported the same for City Manager Manninen. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 19, 1994 PAGE 21 I-3. Attorney Attorney Graves reported the Inlet Woods settlement papers were in the area for signature by the Inlet Woods parties. Attorney Graves also reported he will be attending a NIMLO conference in Nevada. He will be out of the office October 21- 26, 1994. He will be back in the office on Thursday, October 27. I-4. City Clerk No report. I-5. Finance Director No report. I-6. Public Works Director Kornelis noted Information No. 10 regarding congregate housing preliminary plan costs. Kornelis added an ordinance was introduced this evening to appropriate funds. Kornelis requested Council review the information to make sure this is what they had in mind. I-7. Airport Manager a. Enplanement Report - Ernst referred to the monthly enplanement report included in the packet. Ernst stated if they continue as they have been, by the end of the year, they will be at the highest level ever. b. Airport Commission - Ernst reported Joel Kopp began his appointment at the last Airport Commission meeting. Commissioner Diane Smith has resigned. They have two openings on the Commission. C. Counter/Carpet Replacement - Ernst referred to his memorandum included in the packet in regard to refurbishing the airline ticket and car rental counters in the terminal. Ernst reported the Airport Commission examined the physical condition of the counters. The Commission's consensus was that the counters needed to be refurbished and recommended that money be appropriated from airport funds to do the work. The Commission also suggested the counter work be done at the time of the re - carpeting project early next year. Cost estimate is KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 19, 1994 PAGE 22 approximately $17,000. (This will include putting a 2" round oak trim on the counters and stainless steel on the baggage well sides.) Swarner asked if the roof will need repair to stop the leaking that has occurred. Ernst stated they found the area (around a vent) on the roof where it had been leaking. They have corrected the problem. They will probably mop the roof next year as it has been three years since it was last done. Ernst stated the refurbishing was not included in the budget. Monfor stated she strongly feels the airport should be kept in good condition as it is the first place many visitors see of Kenai. Monfor added she believed the upgrading needs to be done. Ernst stated the funds could come from the Terminal Contingency funds. Measles requested a motion or direction from Council for Ernst to get additional price information. Measles added he agreed with doing the work at the same time as the carpet replacement. Swarner asked about painting the ceiling around the vents. Ernst stated he believed this a cleaning problem and will alert the cleaning contractor. There were no objections from Council. ITEM J: DISCUSSION J-1. citizens a. Bob Peters - Stated his concern for the ongoing bluff erosion. He is aware studies have been done in regard to the problem. A preservation plan is to be formulated. Mission Avenue and the bluff should be included in the plan. Referred to the comments made in the newspaper article since the bluff sloughed away last. He was concerned some of the comments were apathetic. Peters questioned the quoted amount of $25 million to repair the bluff. Measles stated the $25 million quote was made by the Corps of Engineers a few years ago. Measles added Peters should be assured the Council has not forgotten about the bluff, etc. They realize there is a problem. Measles added he would not say the KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 19, 1994 PAGE 23 City would fix it, but will continue to investigate the problem. If something can be done to fix it at a reasonable cost, the City will fix it. Peters suggested storing concrete blocks on city property below the bluff. Peters suggested the fines would not be too much. Measles stated he was aware of a home owner along the river who placed rocks in the river to save his house and is being heavily fined. Peters stated the city employees and council have been polite and interested. He did not feel he was getting the "run around." Kornelis reported he has contacted the Corps and they will be coming to look at Mission Avenue and the bluff. They have a small amount of emergency funds available. They may have some suggestions. He will contact Peters, Jahrig and the Pastor of the church when the meeting will take place. Kornelis added there are two areas of funding. One has $500,000 maximum amount of federal money can be spent. The other program allows for protection funding, i.e. if $20 million of funding is given, it needs to protect $20 million worth of property. Kornelis added he was told that if the property included streets and water and sewer, it would be hard justify worth of $20 million. Bookey asked if there have been any short-term remedies for the road and water/sewer problems. Kornelis stated they have placed gravel to keep water from running off the bluff. They have diverted the drain to the bluff. Barricades will be placed with signs allowing only residential and church traffic to use the road. Bookey stated he believed it important for the Council to investigate the problem closely. The road will not be able to opened to the public again. The bluff is an important part of the tourism industry and that needs to be discussed as well. He hopes Council will understand a contingency plan will need to be put into effect next year. Kornelis stated he believed the water and sewer lines will need to be moved next year. b. Barry Campbell - Campbell stated he is a trustee of the Kenai Bible Chapel. The Chapel recommends the road be closed KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 19, 1994 PAGE 24 permanently. The Chapel has other areas for their parishioners to use for parking. They suggest the Coast Guard needs to move their light and the drainage ditch needs to be changed as well. Campbell requested the City keep the Chapel informed of what will be done in the area and to permanently close the road. J-2. council Bookey - Thanked the Kenai Police Department for the report included in the packet. Swarner - Also thanked KPD for the report. Requested to have the amount of money was received from the tent camping area included in the next packet. Monfor - Requested the change in the Parks & Recreation meeting day be advertised. Freas stated she would advertise the change in the paper and on the City's official bulletin board. Bannock - No report. Smalley - Also thanked KPD for the report. Requested Government Day be set on the Council's December 7, 1994 meeting as the government class will change to society at the beginning of the new semester. There were no objections. Smalley stated he would find a student who would like to be appointed to the Library Commission as a student representative.

The Caucus was organized in 1987 for the general purpose of promoting the physical, social and economic well being of the Kenai Peninsula Borough. Its specific purposes may include, but shall not be limited to: charitable; benevolent; educational; civic; patriotic; political; social; and cultural activities. Voting members of the organization are representatives of Municipal Governments and Chambers of Commerce of the Kenai Peninsula Borough. An objective of the Caucus is to secure legislation at the local, state and federal levels which will be beneficial to inhabitants of the Kenai Peninsula Borough and to oppose legislation injurious thereto; but to remain non -partisan in the conduct of its affairs. The Caucus does not endorse candidates for elected or appointed positions at any level of government. Two weeks written notice must be given to each voting member of the Caucus before it may consider a legislative position or resolution. An act of the Board of Directors must be approved by at least 75% of the Directors present at a meeting. The intent of this bylaw requirement is to assure that any action taken by the Caucus will represent a substantial consensus of opinion within the Kenai Peninsula Borough. This brochure provides a synopsis of the legislative positions developed by the Caucus through input from municipal officials and directors of the local Chamber of Commerce organizations. Each position represents legislative recommendations of the Caucus. These positions will be actively lobbied for by the Board of Directors on behalf of its membership to the Alaska Municipal League, the Alaska State Chamber of Commerce, the Local, State and Federal governments. 10/8/94 DRAFT 1995 Legislative Positions Kenai Peninsula Caucus TABLE OF CONTENTS Page Part I Resource Development A Industry Development Forum 3 B Oil & Gas 3 C Tourism 3 D Timber 4 E Fish & Game 4 F Coal Development 4 Part II Education A Operating Expenditures 5 B Bonded Indebtedness 5 C School Construction Grant Program 5 D University of Alaska Programs 6 Part III Taxation and Finance A State Budget 6 B Borough Budget 6 Part IV Transportation and Public Facilities A Roads and Highways: Major Highway and Urban Road Priorities 7 Local Road Priorities 8 Transportation Enhancement Project Priorities 9 Highway Safety Improvement Program Priorities 9 State Highway Maintenance Facilities 10 B Aviation 10 C Marine Transportation Systems 10 D Correctional Facilities 11 E Health Facilities 11 F Senior Citizen / Community Hall Facilities 11 G Solid Waste Disposal 11 Part V Land Use A Designation of Wilderness Areas 11 B Wetlands Legislation 11 C Nildsld Industrial Zone 11 2 10/8194 DRAFT 1995 Legislative Positions Kenai Peninsula Caucus PART 1 RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT A. INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT FORUM The Caucus supports an initiative of the Kenai Peninsula Borough to sponsor a forum to discuss the concerns of various industries and the public in dealing with competing interests arising from future resource development in the Borough. The Caucus encourages participation in this forum from representatives of the oil industry, commercial fishing organizations, the sport fishing industry, the forestry industry, the tourism industry, state and federal agencies and citizens at large. B. OIL AND GAS DEVELOPMENT 1. Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The Congress of the United States should open the Coastal Plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) to environmentally responsible oil and gas exploration, development and production. The State Administration and Legislature are encouraged to continue an all out effort in promoting opening of ANWR pursuant to terms of the statehood compact whereby 90% of the severance taxes would be shared with the State of Alaska. 2. Oil Export Ban. The federal ban on export of Alaska North Slope crude oil should be repealed. Lifting the oil export ban could create new investment for energy production, jobs in the maritime industry and add at least $86 million a year to the state treasury. 3. Promotion. The Caucus encourages the State of Alaska to promote responsible oil and gas exploration and development through: a. A stable taxation policy; b. Easing of permitting regulations to make possible the development of marginal discoveries and sub -economic oil accumulations; and, c. Dealing with critical habitat and fishing corridor issues prior to offering tracts for lease. 4. Oil Spill Contingency Plans. The Caucus encourages the State of Alaska to insist upon oil spill contingency plans which will take into consideration the unique geographic circumstances of each area where oil is transported by marine vessels. In other.words, plans developed for Cook Inlet must be tailored to the Cook Inlet area, rather than imposing a state-wide contingency plan modeled after plans implemented for Prince William Sound or for any other national/international area. 5. SL,g=rt Natural Gas Ventures. The Kenai Caucus supports any meaningful endeavors which may remove road -blocks, aid in the search for U.S. and foreign markets, or develop practical, cost effective stipulations for construction of natural gas transportation and manufacturing projects within the Kenai Peninsula Borough. 6. Kenai Peninsula as a Pipeline Terminus. While the Caucus supports Valdez as a terminus for a pipeline from the North Slope, strong effort should be made to intertie the Kenai Peninsula, particularly the Nikiski area, with any natural gas pipeline which is extended from the North Slope. C. TOURISM 1. Marketing Plans. The development of tourism marketing plans is necessary to make Alaska and the Kenai Peninsula Borough a year around destination, but particularly in the fall, winter and spring. 3 10/8/94 DRAFT 1995 Legislative Positions Kenai Peninsula Caucus 2. State Funding. The legislature should appropriate to the Alaska Division of Tourism a sufficient budget for the continuation of its very successful state-wide marketing programs, including matching grants for Tourist Attraction Development and Visitor Information Services. In addition, the legislature should appropriate sufficient funds to the Division of Parks & Outdoor Recreation to develop facilities within the Kenai Peninsula Borough which have a demonstrated visitor value. 3. Borough Funding. The Borough Assembly should continue to appropriate a sufficient budget for the implementation of marketing plans to promote the Kenai Peninsula Borough as a visitor destination in joint venture with the Borough Economic Development District and its Tourism Marketing Council, local chambers of commerce and municipalities. D. TIMBER 1. Land Use Plans. A strong commitment must be made to timber management as a prime use in state and national forests and on property owned by the Kenai Peninsula Borough. Viable State and Borough timber sale programs should be developed with firm five year sale schedules to encourage and facilitate commercial timber harvest. 2. Spruce Bark Beetle. The Spruce Bark Beetle disease is threatening timber throughout the Kenai Peninsula. Federal, State and Borough natural resource agencies are encouraged to schedule timber sale and management programs specifically designed to eradicate this disease. E. FISH & GAME 1. Subsistence. The State Legislature is urged to resolve subsistence issues where they are conflicting with Federal law and the State constitution so that the state may retain control over management of Alaska fish and game resources. 2. import Limits. The Caucus will oppose proposals to establish limits on fish and game which a sport angler may export out of Alaska. 3. Board of Fsheries. The Caucus recognizes and respects the authority of the Alaska Board of Fisheries to manage the fishery resources of the State of Alaska. Allocation decisions by the Board should continue to be based upon scientific and biological evidence which results in the sustained yield of the resource. The Caucus opposes any municipal or legislative action which would interfere with the Board of Fisheries' allocaition process. F. COAL DEVELOPMENT 1. Tax Increment Financing. The State Legislature should amend tax increment financing statutes to enable Second Class Boroughs to sell revenue bonds for financing of public owned infrastructure necessary to coal development. 2. Strategic Plan. The State is encouraged to adopt a strategic plan which would make Alaska coal competitive with coal from other world markets. 4 10/8194 DRAFT 1995 Legislative Positions Kenai Peninsula Caucus PART II EDUCATION A. OPERATING EXPENDITURES 1. Constitutional Responsibilities. The Alaska State Constitution requires that the State shall establish and maintain a system of public education, open to all the children of the State. The Caucus supports the State's assumption of financial responsibility for "basic" education operating expenses. 2. dial State Funding for Basic Education. The Legislature should establish a definition of "basic education" and establish an equitable funding formula that ensures this basic education is provided. Defining basic education is the key to development of a fair formula for state funding of education. The development of this formula should involve the municipalities or districts. 3. Local Autonomy. Full funding should not inhibit the rights of local government to supplement state or federal funding for education purposes beyond "basic needs" or to administer local schools. No mandates should be implemented without 100% funding from the State. 4. Forward Funding. The Caucus supports the use of "forward funding" to provide for basic education so that local governments and school districts will know how much funding will be available from the State prior to April 1 st of each year. 5. Funding Formula. The Caucus will oppose any funding formula proposal which mandates local sharing on a sliding scale based upon assessed valuation as a measure of "ability to pay". Rather, the formula should attempt to "equalize" expenditures per student. B. BONDED INDEBTEDNESS FOR SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION 1. Debt Reimbursement. The Caucus urges the State Legislature to establish a trust fund to fully fund the school debt reimbursement program at levels provided by statute under former programs of municipal school construction assistance in accordance with the State's responsibilities under the Alaska Constitution. 2. School General Obligation Bonds. If the State fails to establish a trust fund to finance school debt reimbursement, the Caucus supports placing a proposition on the ballot for the next state-wide general election which would enable the State of Alaska to sell its general obligation bonds to refinance all existing municipal school debt. C. SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION GRANT PROGRAM 1. Fundina. The Caucus encourages the legislature to formulate a construction grant program for schools to be financed by the state's general obligation bonds. 2. Local Priorities. School construction grants should be provided for those priority school construction projects identified by the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District. Priority Project Description 1 Central Peninsula Middle School 2 Kenai Elementary School 3 Nikolaevsk School Addition 5 10/8194 DRAFT 1995 Legislative Positions Kenai Peninsula Caucus D. UNIVERSITY OF ALASKA PROGRAMS 1. Airline Fire Fighter School. The Caucus urges the University of Alaska to locate an Airline Fire Fighter School in Kenai. 2. Marine Research Facilities. The Caucus opposes use of existing funds of the University of Alaska for new marine research facilities at any location unless a comparable increase in appropriations is provided for existing facilities to preclude dilution of funding for the marine research facilities at Seward. 3. University Research Vessel Docking Facilities. The Caucus supports the use of state funds to construct a docking facility in Seward for a new arctic research vessel. 4. Cold Water Training & Recovery School. The Caucus supports actions of the City of Kenai and the University of Alaska in locating a Cold Water Helicopter Training and Recovery School at Kenai Airport. PART III TAXATION AND FINANCE A. STATE BUDGET 1. State Operating Budget. The legislature should reduce the State's operating budget, except appropriations for existing local school debt service reimbursement should be maintained at 100% of the reimbursement entitlement and appropriations for highway maintenance should be restored to levels prevailing in 1986, adjusted for inflation. a. Where shared revenues are provided to local governments and school districts, the assistance should be conditional upon some degree of local tax effort. b. When reductions are made in municipal assistance, revenue sharing, school foundation assistance and other forms of local government assistance, equivalent reductions should be made in the total operating budget for state agencies. 2. State Capital Budget. The capital budget must never be less than the amount required to attract matching federal funds. The capital budget should give priority to projects which will minimize local government operating expenses•and promote economic development. 3. Alaska Permanent Fund. The State legislature is encouraged to place a constitutional amendment on the ballot for the next general election which would: dedicate all of the State of Alaska's future natural resource revenues to the Permanent Fund; transfer assets of the various state reserve funds to the Permanent Fund; and, specify a percentage of the market value of the Permanent Fund to be withdrawn and appropriated by the legislature for financing state government (aka the "CREMO PLAN" or a variation thereof). 4. State Mandated Local Tax Exemptions. If reimbursements to local governments for state - mandated local tax exemptions (such as the mandated property tax exemption for Senior Citizens and Disabled Veterans) are not fully funded, the exemptions should be repealed or made a local option. B. BOROUGH BUDGET The Caucus will communicate. its positions by resolution on topics pertaining to borough financial plans, budget policies and local taxes. 6 10/8/94 DRAFT 1995 Legislative Positions Kenai Peninsula Caucus PART IV TRANSPORTATION AND PUBLIC FACILITIES A. ROADS AND HIGHWAYS Priority should be given to highway improvements and maintenance on roads that connect population centers, serve as school bus routes, provide access to seaports, visitor attractions and economically viable resource areas. State appropriations for highway maintenance should be restored to levels prevailing in 1986 (adjusted for inflation) by increasing the motor fuel tax. 1. Transportation Study Committee. The Caucus urges the Borough to establish a Transportation Study Committee including representation from cities and chambers of commerce to formulate and update a Borough Wide Transportation Plan and nominate projects for funding from the Intermodel Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA). A share of the State of Alaska's ISTEA funding should be shared with the local governments of the Kenai Peninsula Borough to improve the Borough's collector routes and address other transportation needs, including safety projects, bicycie/pedestrian facilities and other projects which qualify as "transportation enhancements". 2. Additive Alternates. When bids are sought for highway and road projects, the Department of Transportation should include other priority projects in the vicinity as additive alternates in the solicitation so these projects may be accelerated if the base bid comes in less than estimates. 3. Transportation Financing. The Caucus supports placing a proposition on the ballot for the next state-wide general election which would enable the State to sell its General Obligation Bonds to accelerate financing for high priority transportation improvements. Debt service on these bonds should be financed from future federal highway aid appropriations and an increase in the State motor fuel tax. 4. Majgr Highways and Urban Roads. The Seward Highway, Sterling Highway, Kenai Spur Road (from Sterling Highway to Captain Cook State Park), Kalifomsky Beach Road and the Bridge Access Road should comprise the system of major highways and urban roads on the Kenai Peninsula for which improvements should be designed and constructed by the State of Alaska. 5.

That call for comments included a map outlining the proposed sale area consisting of approximately 750,000 acres. Due to industry interest DO&G is expanding the sale area to include acreage in addition to that outlined in that call for comments. The proposed Sale 85A area has been expanded to include approximately 620,000 acres of state-owned upland acreage located on the Kenai Peninsula, in and around Chickaloon Bay in Turnagain Arm, and on the uplands west of Redcwbt Bay. A portion of this new acreage includes tide and submerged land located Cook Inlet. As outlined on the attached map, the proposed sale now consists of approximately 1,370,000 acres. DO&G is issuing this supplemental call for comments to provide agencies, local governments, industry and the public with an opportunity to express their interests and concerns regarding the proposed sale. Any information or comments provided as a result of this request should be received the division on or before March 4, 1995. DO&G is specifically interested in information concerning: 1) fish and wildlife species and their habitats in the proposed sale area; 2) the current and projected uses in the area, including uses and values of fish and wildt..ife; 3) the reasonably foreseeable cumulative effects of oil and gas exploration, development, production and transportation on the sale area including the effects on subsistence uses; fish and wildlife habitat, populations, and their uses; and historic and cultural resources; 4) the reasonably foreseeable fiscal effects of the proposed lease sale and subsequent activity on the state and affected municipalities and communities, including the explicit and implicit subsidies associated with the proposed lease sale, if any; 5) the reasonably foreseeable effects of oil and gas exploration, development, production and transportation on municipalities and communities within or adjacent to the proposed lease sale area. DO&G would also like to know of any current or new programs and projects planned in the proposed sale area. Data regarding potential effects of the proposed sale on air and water quality; characteristics of local communities; and the location of archaeological and recreation sites; and geophysical hazards within the proposed Sale 85A area are also requested. Recommendations regarding potential mitigation measures for protection of the environment and various values and resources are encouraged. State and federal agencies, local governments, industry, and the public are invited to comment on any aspect of the proposed sale. Information submitted concerning proposed Sale 85A will be used to prepare the preliminary finding which is scheduled to be available in December 1995.

Considerable information on fish and wildlife has been compiled as a result of previous lease sales in this area. The Cook Inlet region is used extensively for commercial, subsistence and recreational fishing and hunting. Five species of North Pacific salmon are fished commercially throughout Cook Inlet. A sixth, steelhead salmon, is a popular sport fishing species. Numerous anadromous streams, several of which are major fish producers, are found within the proposed sale area. Herring spawning and fishing areas extend from Tuxedni Bay to Ursus Ceve. King Dungeness and Tanner crab; and razor clams are also present. The proposed sale area -provides important habitat for moose, black and brown bear, caribou and waterfowl. Several species of marine mammals are found near or within the area. Protected and endangered species known to occur include the American peregrine falcon, bald eagles, harbor seals and sea otters, and finback and grey whales. - 2 - A r umber state and federal wildlife refuges, game sanctuaries, and critical habitat areas exist within or near the proposed sale area.

OF NATURAL RESOURCES DIVISION OF OIL AND GAS July 7, 1994 WALTER J. HICKEL. GOVERNOR P.O. BOX 107034 ANCHORAGE. ALASKA 99510-7034 PHONE: (907)'162-2553 File No. 85A-5f Call for Comments, y Proposed Oil and Gas Lease Sale 85A, Cook Inlet Exempt The Alaska Department of Natural Resources (ADNR), Division of Oil and Gas (DO requesting socioeconomic and environmental information and comments from agencies, local governments, and the public on proposed Oil and Gas Lease Sale 85A, Cook Inlet Exempt, which is currently scheduled for April 1996. Any information or comments provided as a result of this request should be sent to the division by December 15, 1994. DO&G is specifically interested in information concerning: 1) fish and wildlife species and their habitats in the proposed sale area; 2) the current and projected uses in the area, including uses and value of fish and wildlife; 3) the reasonably foreseeable cumulative effects of oil and gas exploration, development, production and transportation on the sale area including the effects on subsistence uses; fish and wildlife habitat, populations, and their uses; and historic and cultural resources; 4) the reasonably foreseeable fiscal effects of the proposed lease sale and subsequent activity on the state and affected municipalities and communities, including the explicit and implicit subsidies associated with the proposed lease sale, if any; 5) the reasonably foreseeable effects of oil and gas exploration, development, production and transportation on municipalities and communities within or adjacent to the proposed lease sale area. DO&G would also like to know of any current or new programs and projects planned in the proposed sale area. Data regarding potential effects of the proposed sale on air and water quality; characteristics of local communities; and the location of archaeological and recreation sites within the proposed Sale 85A area are also requested. Recommendations regarding potential mitigation measures for protection of the environment and various values and resources are encouraged. State and federal agencies, local governments, industry, and the public are invited to comment on any aspect of the proposed sale. Information submitted concerning proposed Sale 85A will be used to prepare the preliminary finding which is scheduled to be available in August 1995. The preliminary finding will describe the proposed sale area and its resources, discuss the sale's potential effects, and propose mitigation measures. It will also contain the department's analysis of the sale's potential consistency with the Alaska Coastal Management Program (ACMP), and the Kenai Peninsula Borough, Mat -Su Borough and Municipality of Anchorage Coastal Management - 1 - r r Plans. Under AS 38.05.946, an affected municipality has three opportunities to hold public meetings, once after the department's notice of preliminary decision, again after notice of intent to issue a final decision, and then again after notice of the sale. After public and agency review, the preliminary finding will be followed by a final finding and decision of the director as required by AS 38.05.035(e) and (g) and a conclusive consistency determination as required by the ACMP. The final fording is scheduled to be issued on January 9, 1996. As outlined on the attached map, the proposed sale consists of approximately 750,000 acres of Cook Inlet area lands. Considerable information on fish and wildlife has been compiled as a result of previous lease sales in this area. The Cook Inlet region is used extensively for commercial, subsistence, and recreational fishing and hunting. Five species of North Pacific salmon are fished commercially throughout Cook Inlet. A sixth, steelhead salmon, is a popular sport fishing species. Numerous anadromous streams, several of which are major fish producers, are found within the proposed sale area. Herring spawning and fishing areas extend from Tuxedni Bay to Ursus Cove. King, Dungeness, and Tanner crab; and Razor clams are also present. The proposed sale area provides important habitat for moose, black and brown bear, caribou, and waterfowl. Several species of marine mammals are found near or within the area. Protected or endangered species known to occur include the American peregrine falcon, bald eagles, harbor seals and sea otters. and finback and gray whales. A number of state and federal wildlife refuges, game sanctuaries, and critical habitat areas exist within or near the proposed sale area. These areas encompass important fish and wildlife habitat, and have significant scenic and recreational value. State and federal agencies, local governments, industry, and the public are invited to comment and provide socioeconomic and environmental information. In commenting on the proposed sale, please be as snecifrc as possible. In accordance with recently passed legislative amendments to AS 38.05.035, a person is eligible to file a request for reconsideration and subsequently an appeal to the superior court of a Best Interest Finding decision if they have meaningfully participated in the process by either submitting written comment during the period for public comment or presenting oral testimony at a public hearing. Comments and information should be received by December 15, 1994 at the following address: James Hansen, Chief Petroleum Geophysicist Division of Oil and Gas P. O.

All but Sale 90, a new Cook Inlet sale proposed for 1999, are on the current leasing schedule. These sales have been included for additional public comment because the Division is proposing to delay each sale beyond the date it was originally scheduled and because the North Slope/Beaufort Sea sales are being reconfigured to include acreage from other sales. Sale Status Sale 85A, Cook Inlet Exempt Delayed Sale 86, Central Beaufort Sea Reconfigured and Delayed Sale 87, North Slope Reconfigured and Delayed Sale 85, Cook Inlet/Kamishak Bay Delayed Sale 83, Western Beaufort Sea Reconfigured and Delayed Sale 89, Central and Eastern Beaufort Sea Reconfigured and Delayed Sale 90, Cook Inlet/Kamishak Bay New Sale Delay of these sales is necessitated by additional requirements imposed by recently passed legislative amendments to AS 38.05.035(e) for Best Interest Findings and for public notice and comments. Reconfiguration of the sale areas has been to ensure that all of the acreage in the six North Slope/Beaufort Sea acreage proposed in the 1993 Program remain on the schedule. As a result of delaying sales, proposed Sale 84, Copper River, has been deleted. However, this area will be available for exploration licensing once that program is initiated. The appearance of these proposed sales in the Five -Year Oil and Gas Leasing Program does not mean that the sales will automatically be held. This Call for Comments is the first step in a lengthy planning and review process that may or may not result in conducting these proposed oil and gas lease sales. The preparation of the Five -Year Oil and Gas Leasing Program, in which sale areas are identi&ed before the proposed sale dates, allows local governments, state and federal agencies, the public, and the petroleum industry ample opportunity to study each proposed area and to plan for potential effects-ifthe sale would occur. The areas described and depicted here are very general. In all cases, the actual areas that finally may be offered for leasing will be smaller than what is shown. The proposed sale area's land status will be analyzed approximately twelve months prior to each lease sale, and only those lands in which the state owns all or part of the subsurface estate will be offered for lease. In those areas -1- involving coastal waters, state ownership extends seaward to the three-mile limit. There may be environmentally sensitive lands within these proposed sale areas. These lands will be identified later in the leasing process, and special protective measures may be required if oil and gas leasing takes place on these lands. Additional opportunities for comment will occur at several intervals during the leasing process. These opportunities include a second Call for Comments issued about three years prior to the sale and a third call about two years prior to the sale. In addition, approximately nine months before each sale, a request for comments on the director's preliminary finding is made. If the proposed sale is in the state's coastal zone, an analysis of the sale's consistency with the Alaska Coastal Management Program is included in the preliminary finding. In commenting on these proposed sales, please be as specific as possible. The Department of Natural Resources is interested in learning about areas of particular environmental and social concern within the proposed sale areas. In accordance with recently passed legislative amendments to AS 38.05.035, a person is eligible to file a request for reconsideration and subsequently an appeal to the superior court of a Best Interest Finding decision if they have meaningfully participated in the process by either submitting written comment during the period for public comment or presenting oral testnnony at a public hearing. The Division is particularly interested in receiving comments on the revised timeline and on the extent of the acreage proposed for inclusion in each sale. Any parties that are interested in expanding proposed sale areas to include additional acreage or in altering the sequence of sales should include those suggestions in their comments. Comments must be received by September 7, 1994 and should be sent to: James J. Hansen Chief Petroleum Geophysicist Division of Oil and Gas P.O. Box 107034 Anchorage, Alaska 99510-7034 Comments may also be submitted via courier, (Suite 1398, 3601 C Street, Anchorage) via SYSM (NORCDOG), or by telecopy (562-3852). The biennial Five -Year Oil and Gas Leasing program will be available late January 1995. The document will include the new five-year schedule, descriptions of each sale area, a summary of sales held in 1993 and 1994, and other topics of interest to the public, state and federal agencies, and the petroleum industry.

Frates, Teen Center Directo?# DATE: October 5, 1994 RE: Appropriating Money for Teen Center Equipment As fall completes its final course and the winter winds begin to blow, our feathered friends will not be the only ones seeking a safe, warm refuge. Yes, it's certainly difficult to imagine that winter is just around the corner. For us, it means that we will be serving an increasing number of youth that are relentlessly searching for something constructive to do. We too must prepare ourselves for the long months (years) ahead. As Kayo and I discussed, there may be an opportunity for us to utilize some of the Daubensoeck money to purchase some new equipment for the Teen Center. Most of the teens spend countless hours shooting pool, and thus far, we have managed to capture the attention of many. However, it is the desire of many others to invest their time participating in other games. For this reason, we (Teen Center Council Members and myself) have concentrated on four (4) items that appear to be real popular among our patrons. It is our hope that members of the Park and Recreation Committee and the City Council will assist us with meeting the needs and desires of the youth in our community by approving the necessary funds for the purchase of the following items: ITEM 0 1.)

The useage of high wattage and unshielded lighting in the Cultural Center has caused some alarming damage to certain textiles and artifacts. The effect on these items is irreversible, permanent and noticeable. The textiles affected have already been weakened by the lack of acceptable humidity in the building. Our staff has compiled specific guidelines obtained from the National Park Service and the Alaska State Museum "Wise Guide". City of Kenai personnel have done extensive research on resolving the humidification situation and have submitted their recommendations and cost estimates. Representatives from the Department of Public Works are also preparing cost estimates to address the windows and specialiy designed coverings for the light fixtures to help in reducing the UV levels in the Cultural Center. We shall be very happy to provide any information and/or assistance to resolve this matter. It truly is a priority in that we must preserve the integrity of the $1.5 million inventory in existing exhibits and future accessions. Thank you. Sin rely, Su Carter Executive Director CC: Honorable Mayor & Members of Council P. O. Box 1991, Kenai, Alaska 99611 0 (907) 283-1991 MEMORANDUM DATE: November 1, 1994 TO: Keith Kornelis, P.V.D. FROM: Robert Springer, B.O. V SUBJECT: Visitor Center - UV light reduction modifications - Humidifier installation 9nt tn► t 1lnt rtr dr l inlr dr i dnlr t t it � �Ir t it i t tY dr dr it Ur i tlt t tIr dnlr t it ilnlr Yr t it tt �tnlr 4 it f t t i t t �lnlr dt t it tt ttr 4 it t f dr f dt Ar t ttt rnlr dt i it t t After doing extensive research into the requested UV light reduction modifications at the Visitors Center, the following are recommendations and costs associated with these modifications. The first requested modification was application of filtering films to existing glass in windows. There are several problems associated with this proposal: 1. The local window companies do not stock or install this product. 2. Since no one locally installs this product the building maintenance department would have to install it, which would be very time consuming, time which could be better spent. 3. This product is a high maintenance item as every few years it will have to be replaced, because it peels and bubbles, and is not visually pleasing. An alternative to this product would be to install transparent Mylar Shades which is similar to the filtering films as it cuts down on the UV light, but is a shade and not attached to the glass. The cost estimate from Regal Interiors including installation in $1301. Another alternative is to install blinds, this cost is from $1466.07 to $1653.90 depending on the type of blind. The problem with these are in order to cut down the UV light they would have to be closed all the time and are also a high maintenance item. The second requested modification was addition of specially treated glass or plastic glazing panels. In order to achieve this the entire glazing would be replaced. The cost estimate from Randy's Glass for TC-88 heat mirror glazing which eliminates 99.7% of the UV light including installation is $2328.62. While the cost is slightly higher the benefits are greater than installing blinds or shades, as there would be no additional maintenance costs once installed and they allow light in at all times since shades would not be needed. As far as visual impact on the building, the supplier assured me they would look no different than any other window on the building. Also, there would be no moisture entrapment between the sash and the panel as this glazing is the same as any thermopane window with one exception, it has a UV resistant film between the layers of glazing. The third modification was filters for lighting fixtures. The cost estimate we have from Brown's Electric for sleeves for the fluorescent light tubes was $378 and does not include installation. So either the janitorial service or building maintenance would have to install these sleeves. There are 54 tubes in the room so there is some time involved in installing these sleeves. We cannot locate filters for the spot lights and incandescent recessed fixtures, as all the electrical distributors say there are no such filters for the fixtures. Since these fixtures are on dimming switches they can be dimmed which will cut down on the UV light being emitted. The spot lights that created the burn marks on the quilt can also be dimmed which should eliminate this problem. To recap the numbers: UV Light reduction: Regal Interiors Randy's Glass Brown's Electric Humidification: Alaska Winter Co. Jahrig Electric Wades Plumbing Shades - horizontal = 1653.90 Shades - Vertical = 1466.02 Shades - Mylar = 1301.00 Heat mirror glazing = 2328.62 Filter sleeves = 378.00 Humidifier = 2425.00 Electrical Install = 1200.00 Plumbing Install = 1200.00 I would suggest for the UV reduction we install the new glazing and the filter sleeves for two reasons: 1) the two largest UV light emitters are the outside light through the existing windows and the fluorescent lighting; 2) there is virtually no additional maintenance costs involved once the windows are installed. As you know, we did not budget for this, so I would think a special appropriation would be needed to install these items. OCT 31 '94 11:40AM RANDY' 41 HRCn1dYls G99 y Inc.

October 28, 1994 Mr. Tom Manninen, City Manager CITY OF KENAI 210 Fidalgo Street Kenai, Alaska 99611 Dear Tom: Relative to our recent conversation concerning the Kenai Bicentennial Visitors & Cultural Center, the following is a synopsis of problems arising from excessive light and lack of humidity. The useage of high wattage and unshielded lighting in the Cultural Center has caused some alarming damage to certain textiles and artifacts. The effect on these items is irreversible, permanent and noticeable. The textiles affected have already been weakened by the lack of acceptable humidity in the building. Our staff has compiled specific guidelines obtained from the National Park Service and the Alaska State Museum "Wise Guide". City of Kenai personnel have done extensive research on resolving the humidification situation and have submitted their recommendations and cost estimates. Representatives from the Department of Public Works are also preparing cost estimates to address the windows and specially designed coverings for the light fixtures to help in reducing the UV levels in the Cultural Center. We shall be very happy to provide any information and/or assistance to resolve this matter. It truly is a priority in that we must preserve the integrity of the $1.5 million inventory in existing exhibits and future accessions. Thank you.

MEMORANDUM October 21, 1994 TO: Sue Carter, Executive Director FROM: Diane Rathman, Director of Exhibits/Displays DATE: October 21, 1994 RE: Excessive light damage to artifacts and displays The useage of high wattage and unshielded lighting in the Cultural Center has caused some alarming damage to certain textiles and artifacts. The effect on these items is irreversible, permanent, and noticeable. The textiles affected have already been weakened by the the lack of acceptable humidity in the building. For your information I have compiled guidelines from the National Park Service and the Wise Guide (the Alaska State Museum guide book for conservation). REDUCING VISIBLE AND ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT DAMAGE: Y One approach to reducing the UV level in museums has been the use of ultraviolet light filters in windows and lighting fixtures. These filters have a minor effect on illumination in the building. The options include: 1. Application of filtering films to existing glass in windows These filters can have a service life of 10 or more years if correctly installed. An experienced installer will apply the film without "bubbling" or other forms of adhesive failure. Once installed, special care must be exercised in cleaning the glass. Highly trained personnel must be employed in the 1reparations, application, and removal of the film to avoid damaging the windows. 2. Addition of specially treated glass or plastic glazing panels This approach has several drawbacks, such as cost, visual impact on the buildings's appearance, and the potential for moisture entrapment between the sash and the panel. 3. Filters for lighting fixtures Fluorescent fixtures are particularly damaging to sensitive materials. U.V. filtering P. O. Box 1991, Kenai. Alaska 99611 9 (907) 283-1991 sleeves can be installed over fluorescent tubes; spotlights are available that have a U.V. filter. U.V. light levels should be no more than 75 microwatts per lumen. National Park Service Guidelines for Preservation and Protection of Museum Objects Light (visible): The maximum acceptable illuminance level for light-sensitive materials is as follows: 50 lux (5 footcandles) for especially light-sensitive materials, e.g., dyed and treated organic materials, textiles, watercolors, tapestries, prints and drawings, manuscripts, leather, wallpapers, natural history specimens including botanical specimens, fur and feathers. 200 lux (20 footcandles) for undyed and untreated organic materials, oii and tempura painting, and finished wooden surfaces. Generally, other materials are less light-sensitive and may be exposed to higher levels up to a maximum of 300 lux. However, when these materials are exhibited with light- sensitive materials, light levels must be controlled at the levels acceptable for the most sensitive materials. Except for short durations required for access or housekeeping, no light is acceptable for museum objects in storage. Light (UV Radiation): All forms of lighting (e.g., daylight, fluorescent lamps, tungsten (incandescent) and tungsten -halogen lamps) used in museums emit varying levels of UV radiation. Monitor all light sources of UV radiation and record levels. If the UV radiation level exceeds 75 microwattsllumen, it is mandatory tc control it by installing filtering material (e.g., plastic solar control film for windows, UV filtering afilm or sheet for windows or picture frames, and filter sleeves for fluorescent tubes) between the light source and museum objests. Periodically monitor UV radiation to ensure that filtering material is effective. BALEEN 74 (HORN, HAIR AND FEATHERS 1. Baleen comes from the mouths of whales called Mvsticetes (i.e. humpback). It is usually dark in color, and hard to the touch. Baleen is fused hair and contains the protein keratin (as does hair, horn, wool, and feathers).16 During the manufacture of baleen objects, the baleen is usually soaked in water and split, and may be sanded to a smooth, shiny surface. Some baleen objects are coated with varnishes or oils to make them shine. 2. The factors that cause deterioration of baleen are the same for hair, horn, wool, and feathers, and they are: a. Water softens and swells the fibers (making the baleen easier to split and weave). The higher the temperature of the water, the faster the rate of degradation. b. Heat induced oxidation; greater than 302 degrees causes bond cleavage. c. Acids less than pH4 and alkalies cause degradation. d. The alcohols methanol, ethanol and n-propanol cause swelling; isopropanol causes contraction. In both cases a chemical change (called esterification) occurs. e. Oxidizing agents (hydrogen peroxide) and reducing agents (used in permanent waves) cause degradation. f. Physical abrasion causes deterioration. 3. Therefore;, protect baleen (and feathers, horn, hair, and wool) from intense light and heat, rough handling, wetting by water or alcohols, and acidic or alkaline solutions. 4. Mark baleen objects by first applying a strip of titanium white acrylic paint. Allow to dry and write the catalog number on the strip with India ink. TEXTILES I. Textiles found in the coilections throughout Alaska's museums are composed of a wide variety of materials including wool, silk, cotton, linen, flax, synthetic fibers or in combinations of these fibers. These objects may be undyed or dyed with natural or synthetic dyes, they may be sized or unsized, and their condition upon arrival at the museum results from the age of the piece and the amount of wear and tear it received in its past. In addition, textile fibers are used to make garments of many kinds, they may be found in furniture, the lining of paintings, in basketry decora- tions, in combinations with skins and furs, cedar bark, etc. 2. The factors that cause deterioration of textiles in the museum environment are: a. Light causes not only fading but also a weakening of the fibers. The more in- tense and the longer the duration of exposure, the more rapidly the fiber deteriorates. Some dyes are more fugitive than others and some fibers are more sen- sitive to light damage than others —especially silk. b. Textiles are easily abraded when handled roughly. 13 c. Insect pests like the common clothes moth, carpet beetles, and silverfish can cause serious damage if introduced into the collection. d. Textiles are good dust collectors. Their surfaces are often large and textured. Dust, soot, and other airborne particulates are generally angular'and easily catch on textured fibers. 3. Remember, textiles on display should never be in direct sunlight or placed close to hot spot -lights or unfiltered fluorescent lights (see section on Lighting). 4. Textiles should be stored flat. Folding a textile puts stress on the area folded, can result in creasing and bruising of fibers, making the textile more likely to tear. Creases also provide a good breeding ground for insects. 5. If folding cannot be avoided, folds should be padded, using materials described below. Textiles should be placed in contact with 'safe' materials such as washed cotton or muslin sheeting, acid -free or acid -free buffered papers or relatively inert plastics (polyethylene and polyester). Note: acid -free buffered tissue is not as soft as plain acid -free. 6. If a textile is too large to store flat it can be rolled. a. Roll the textile over a large (six inch) carpet tube (covered with polyester or polyethylene plastic) or an acid -free buffered rolling tube. b. Cover the textile with polyethylene or cotton fabric tied loosely with strips of plastic or cotton tape to protect it from dust and dirt. c. White textiles have been found to yellow if stored in plastic and should therefore be stored in acid -free papers of cotton sheeting.17 d. F,or easy identification, mark the outside of this package with the catalog number. 7. Clothing should be stored flat, not hung, to reduce the strain on shoulder seams. If -stored flat, pad any creases in the clothing with an acid -free or acid -free buffered paper, approved plastics or cotton batting. If it is absolutely necessary to hang garments, pad the hangers to fit the shoulder angle to reduce the strain on any one point. The padding can be made of cotton batting and washed muslin or simiiar clean, natural fibers. 8. Catalog numbers are best applied to textiles by attaching a tag. Write the number with non -water-soluble ink on a piece of cotton tape. Make sure the ink is drv, then sew the tape onto the textile with cotton/polyester thread. Use a thread similar in weight and color to the textile and sew on the tape, using a small, unobtrusive hemming stitch. Sew between the fibers of the textile rather than through them. It may be necessary to provide a coat of sizing (water -thinned Elmers glue will do) to the side of the cotton tape on which the catalog number will be written in order to prevent the ink from running. This will also prevent the tape from unravelling. 14 MEMORANDUM ffffffffffffQtffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff�tffffffffffffdtfff DATE: November 1, 1994 TO: Keith Kornelis, P.W.D.�c FROM: Robert Springer, B.O SUBJECT: Kenai Bicentennial Visitor & Cultural Center (KBVCCI Security System ehltfit�RiQnittk�kvk�ItfQnitftlt9t�InkUrilr�tnftAtf f filnititilrf f ftfttff ffdt�Yfltdrittlydt�Rtlrakdtdtdt�ltttdrltfttnit�Irff fffffffffffff A problem with the security system has occurred in the last month. On, or about October 4th, Sue Carter was contacted at night about a security alarm at the KBVCC. The system was in a trouble mode. On October 5th we did a purchase order to Communications Alaska for a service call to repair the system. It was determined that they weren't able to arm the security system. The labor performed was checking the lobby motion detectors. One detector had a low battery which was consequently replaced. Two nights later, Sue Carter was contacted again about a trouble alarm. The battery on the hallway motion detector needed to be changed which Communications Alaska did. They also left additional batteries and instructed Stephen Ramberg on how to change the batteries. Approximately a week later, Sue Carter was contacted again, at night, about a trouble alarm. The next day Stephen determined that another battery needed to be replaced, which he did. Richard, of Communications Alaska, explained to me that even if the system is in trouble mode, it does not mean the building is without security. If, for instance, a motion detector is in trouble mode in the museum area, the doors are still secure and since there are two motion detectors in that room the second detector would still be active. One complaint was they could not arm the system which is untrue, they can arm the system even with a trouble alarm. The problem is, if there is a trouble alarm the security company is contacted, and they contact Sue. If the security company contacted Sue only if it were a security alarm then this may solve the problem as long as the KBVCC staff would contact building maintenance to report the trouble alarm. Sue Carter has been unhappy with the security system that was installed at the center from day one. She has told me this every time there has been a problem with the system. After several call outs at night, she has gotten more unhappy with the system. As far as I can determine the system is working properly. It requires periodic maintenance just like any building system. We were unaware of these batteries, but will now add these to our list of maintenance items for this building. 110 S.

It has been a great experience that has been mutually satisfying and rewarding, yet time consuming. Since July 1993, I think that I have developed strong working relationships with the EDD Board members and staff. I would be willing to continue working in that capacity on behalf of the City of Kenai. Any input from the Mayor and City Council, staff or citizens of Kenai in that Board capacity is appreciated. I think an EDD Board appointment is important. I can represent Kenai's interests, yet have a broad perspective. Several challenges remain, including the business incubator, the location of the EDD offices, Midrex, and the pursuit of other future economic development possibilities for the entire Kenai Peninsula Borough. The EDD appointment is a long-term commitment that has begun to show results. The EDD Board would like a response from the City Council by December 16, 1994.

Because of the great number of air quality regulations nok being proposed, we feel it necessary to address the issue of the revised rules ADEC is in the process of having adopted in response to the Legislature's 1993 mandate. From discussions with some members of the regulated community, we understand that some concern exists over how expansive the new regulations might be and how receptive the department was to the many public comments submitted. As a result, we formally request you consider allowing for a public review of the revised rules prior to their adoption. Because of the complexity and vast policy considerations set forth in th proposed regulations, it is important that interested Alaskans have an opportunity to see how their comments and concerns were reflected in the revised draft and present any remaining concerns developed as a result c the revisions. This procedural approach will promote a cooperative spirit between the department and regulated community while insuring that all parties fully understand the practical impact these regulations will have on our state's economy and environment.

BOX Sao KENAI, ALASKA 99611 TELEPHONE 283 - 7S35 MEMO FOR THE RECORD Comments from City of Anchorage Dave McClelland - In Charge of Maintenance and Operations December 16, 1981 1. The gates that the City of Anchorage has on some of their graders is fine for a light snow. If -there is a heavy snow, they are no good at all. 1..: 2. The gates slow down snow removal operations '_'s_-amething-:fierce." 3. Anchorage snow removal policy concerning driveways is: a. Will do driveway only as— onvenience to the public and not as a matter of policy and only when time permits. b. Will not do driveways during a major snow fall. 4. A major snow fall can be considered say 12" in three or four days. The last snow that Anchorage received (and Kenai) a couple of weeks ago was considered major. S. It takes 48 hours to simply open up the major traveled routes -- access areas into subdivisions -in Anchorage. 6. A comparison of Anchorage vs. Kenai road miles, men, and equipment. Miles of Road Men Equipment Anchorage 500 100 20 + 4.--Graders._£;-Contracto 5 snow blowers 30 trucks + 50 contracted Many loaders as many areas completely contracted out Kenai 50 + Airport 5 2 graders + 1 for Airport 1 snow blower 3 trucks 1 loader + 1 for Airport Memo for the Record Page 2 December 16, 1981 7. Anchorage estimates one man can do 5.6 miles of road in his eight hour shift. This is for small single lane residential roads. (Kenai does over 10 miles per man per shift.) 8. Anchorage does not have any graders that have both snow gates and wings --they are not compatible and cannot be hooked up at the same time. 9. Anchorage makes their own snow gates at cost of 53,000. The commercial one is too light and larger and heavier bolts and steel is needed. 10. When Anchorage is all caught up and does take the time to do driveways, they get a lot of complaints that there is such a drop off when driving off of driveways. 11. There is a reaction time of 7 - 10 seconds for the snow gate to go up or down causing much lost time. 12. Dave attended a large snow removal conference in Madison that was attended by over 150 cities from snow areas all over the U. S. and Canada. At the conference he found out that Anchorage and only one other city in the U. S. and Canada have ever even considered doing anything with snow removal in driveways. All other cities have a policy that it is the property owner's responsibility to open up the access to the street after the street is plowed. They asked Dave to not even come to their city and say anything about snow removal in driveways. 13. In conclusion, Dave McClelland commented that once you start clearing snow out of driveways, it is almost impossible to stop. He has been trying desperately to back slowly out of driveway snow removal. Cleaning driveways is extremely costly and time consuming. He would suggest that 4 x 4 with front blades come behind snow removal operations to do driveways if the Council insists on taking on this additional work. Loaders would work but risk property damage (rock garden, lawns, etc.) After listening to Dave today, I am convinced that the City of Kenai should not get into.t4now removal policy of removing snow in driveways. After 11-, hours and a sore back from shoveling "the berm" after our last snow fall, I wish that there was a simple cost effective way to handle this problem. If the Council decides to try and clear driveway berms, I would suggest: 1. Contracting driveway cleaning out or 2. Hiring at least two more men and purchasing two loaders No matter how it is done, if we start cleaning driveways, we will be committed and will have to always clean driveways --even if it doesn't work out. K Memo for the Record Page 3 December 16, 1981 If the City of Kenai was to maintain the same ratio as Anchorage for operators to miles of road, we should have 10 operators to instead of S--and that doesn't even include the Airport. The Airport is our top priority for snow removal. We have two people working on the Airport, one working on the Airport and other parking lots, and two on the City streets during a snow storm. As was mentioned in my memo to John Wise on February 14, 1978, we had 20 - 25 airplanes land in Kenai because Anchorage couldn't keep their runway open and Kenai could. Anchorage Airport has 28 operators working on the Airport alone. My point is this --The City of Kenai's Street Crew is a very hard working group that oes an excellent job. It is mostly a thankless o . Everyone complains an mostly only destructive complaints an in a degrading and personal manner. (It is funny how some people feel that a City operator is completely incompetent and has a personal grudge against them, even though they have never seen him operate or know who he is --he left a berm in the driveway and I had to shovel. The Street Crew has received many compliments from the Mayor (similar to the December 11, 1981 memo) and is appreciative. We have had the same number of operators for over the last seven years, even though the Public Works Department has asked for help each of the last seven years. Our roads have increased probably close to 70 percent and in all directions. If the City was to take on the added responsibility of driveway cleaning under our present conditions, many of the outlying areas may not be able to receive any street snow removal for two or three days after a major snow storm.

Alternative Nfethods for Cleaning Snow Berms in Front of Private Driveways. - During a snow storm the City of Kenai's street crew has no extra .time available. They are working hard and putting in many extra hours. Many of the calls the City receives during a storm is to inquire as to how soon we will be able to plow their street. Unfortunately, the crew and equipment is spread out very thinly over Kenai's large city limits. It takes a considerable amount of time for slow moving equipment to even get to our outlying subdivision like Highland and VIP. I'was asked to come up with possible alternative methods to alleviate the berms that presently extend in front of driveways when we plow the city streets. The following list of alternatives are in no particular order: (1) Hire a local contractor er contractors. There are a number of local contractors who would e willing to contract out for clearing berms in front of driveways for the City. (2) Increase our manpower and equipment. A 966 loader could be purchased -and an operator hire y t.e City to be used for clearing the berm. If permanent help is not desirable, temporary help could be used. (3) Cates could be installed on our two graders and the use of the snow wings discontinued. I have had equipment dealers searc ing their riles an tailing their home offices looking for something on snow gates. Just recently Caterpillar has come up with the attached. It should be realized that using S John Wise February 24, 197S Page Two these gates would require almost twice as long to clear the city streets. The sketch below shows that it would take three passes using this gate instead of two passes using our present snow wing. Time is also lost in slower equipment speed and in operating the gate.

We could use the two graders as is and put the 966 and the AC loaders following the graders for clearing the berm in front of the driveways. This would also take about twice as long as our present system. We would be using two operators on something new and pulling them off their present task of clearing the street or airport. C John Wise February 24, 1978 Page Three (5) Ile could also continue our operation as is and ao back to clear driveway berms as time permits. Atost people would have driveway berms cleared by then though. (b) Two four wheel drive pickups with snow plows This would again pull operators from roads and airport clearing thus lengthening the time necessary to clear these areas. This is not a very good method in that these plows can only push the snow around. We would have to back up into private driveways, push the snow into street, push snow parallel to the street, and then push snow into snow bank. This would take a lot of time. It also could leave the City open for complaints of packing snow in driveways or possible land- scaping damage. S'7RCET N, y I have talked to many people including most about this problem. I have listed all the heard of or thought of. If there are other they are brought up soon, because I am not these alternatives or clearing the berm in ways is in the best interest of the City. of the Council members suggestions that I have alternatives, I hope convinced that any of front of private drive - If the City crews are directed to start clearing these berms we need direction from Council as to where to start, which areas are we to start in and which areas should we leave until last.

The Wing Gate is actuated by operating the side shift with the standard grader controls from the cab. The Wing Gate does not protrude beyond the blade surface. The hinge closes all areas between the moldboard Wing Gate regardless of gate position — no gaps. The motor grader moldboard can be rotated 3600 with the Wing Gate mounted on it.

John ;';ise February 14, 1978 Page Three We have received a letter from Kirschner-Collison stating that the delivery date for the KN-200 Nitrogen Euthanasia System we ordered for the animal control program is mid -March, 1978. I understand that there was a 120-ISO day delivery date from the time of order, which they have met. Bob Card with CII21NI Hill spent a few days last week here in Kenai working i..ith me on the Facilities Plan. They seem to be making good progress now and should have something for us in t%.o or three weeks. We had the lift station motor- on Peninsula Street burn out last Friday. It was jam-packed rrith items that should not be in our scwa'ae system. Since we have moved the septic sewage dump site from }redoubt to Willow, we have moved our lift station problems also. It is very apparant to me that the septic dumpers are dumping, more than sewage into our system. fo noi�;Removal he snow storm that started on February 4, 1978 was the largest e have had for many years. The City of Kenai had over two feet f snow fall in just a .few days. This storm was not unique to enai but covered a good portion of the nation. I am very proud f the excellent job the City of Kenai's street crew did. 1e have small four man crew and a foreman that spent many hard h,,orking ours cleaning our City streets during this last storm. It really should not be necessary for me to justify the job we dial during this last storm but there i•.as an unusually large number of complaints. By revealing a few facts about our operation and equipment, I hope to answer some qucstlons brought up by these complaints. 1. Labor As I mentioned before, we have a small four man street crew with one foreman. During this last three-four day storm, our crew put in over 100 hours in overti;.e. They worked 16 hours on the worst day of the storm. VJe did split the crew and stagger their shifts so that wo could get full use of our equipment and time from the men. 2. Equipment Tie City has only two small motor graders and a 966 Cat loader with a blade on it for street snow removal. There are approx- imately 40 miles of roads that we maintain. as for snow removal on the airport, h-re also have ttico trucks with snow plows and a snow blower. 11;e also have a sander and a small loader (presently broke down) used for loading sand. John l'Jise February 14, 1978 Page Four 3. Operation and Priorities Somct}iing tnat most people don't realize is that the City is responsible for snow removal on the airport. We have a good sized runway -- 7500 ft x 150 ft, three main taxiways and a large ramp area with many small taxiways that have to be maintained by our City crew. The priorities, which i•rere set before I arrived, seem reasonable and we have been following them. These priorities are as follows: (1) Airport runway, taxiway and ramp; (2) heaviest traveled main roads - downtown area; (3) residential areas. Our immediate concern is to get the traffic lanes open. During the initial paYt of a snow storm, our work is relatively rough and quick so that more area can be opened up. As time permits, we go back and do the finishing touches in grooming the streets. At a later time, we go back and wino the upper part of the berm back. This is done so that there will be better visibility at intersections, to make room for more snow and to get snow back so when it melts it won't run onto the road surface. 4. Complaints Many peopie have complained about the City not using "gates" like Anchorage to keep snow out of their drivei•rays. On Monday, February 6, I called Dave McClelland at the Anchorage Public Works Office. He made a few interesting comments. He said that the policy of plowing driveways has cost the City of Anchorage a lot of money. He stated that they do have short gates on their graders but they are only good if there is less than 6 inches of snow. "Je i•rere just at the beginning of the storm (Monday) when I talked to him and he said at that time it would be four days before they even started on driveways. The Anchorage. Times Tuesday paper stated that an Anchorage street cleaning official proclaimed himself "about ready to give Lip." The paper also stated that the "snowpiows were going to concentrate on main routes and collector streets; going into subdivision only to ploy fire and ambulance access routes. Driveways will have berms across them, he said, and streets may not be as wide as they normally would be." Anchorage Times' l'�'edncsday paper stated "twenty to twenty-five airplanes landed at Kenai or Fairbanks instead of Anchorage yesterday." The only reason I mention these things is because of the many complaints i-re have received stating that Anchorage provides certain services Kenai does not and wanting to know why. ?D( John Wise February 14 , 1978 Page Five S. Gates vs. Wings Roth of our graders arc equipped with snow wings. The attached drawings will give you an idea of what I'm talking about.

That is five days, (10 hours/day) with out the wings. (S) John Wise February 14, 1979 Page Six What I am saying is that with the manpower and cquii)mcnt the Ci.-L%- presently has, it would take over twice as long to clear snow in drivO ays using these pates.

Manninen, City Manager-0/ To: Kenai City Council Subject: EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER (EOC) EXPANSION 02 ZF y N� QR ® 9 yJ O PREVENTION � l�-' KENAI We have been researching the possibilities of upgrading the present Emergency Operations Center (EOC), at the Kenai Fire Department to meet requirements, which will allow it to function as the primary EOC for the Kenai Peninsula's North Zone. The City of Kenai's Disaster Operations Plan incorporates the use of the EOC, to be used in the event of a disaster or major emergency, as the acting EOC for the North Zone. The Present EOC is too small to adequately serve the North Zone in the event of a disaster. Upgrading the primary North Zone EOC would include the addition of meeting, briefing and press rooms, as well as expanding the existing communications center. These additional facilities would be available for our use, on a daily basis. Matching grant funds are available through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which would help cover the costs of design, construction and possibly equipping the center. In addition, we would like to explore the possibilities of funding by the Kenai Peninsula Borough. The Kenai Peninsula Borough Office of Emergency Management has responded very positively to the recommendation of upgrading the EOC and will provide or assist in obtaining necessary funding for this project. The conceptual drawings are being formulated, they are based on the requirements of the Kenai Peninsula Borough Office of Emergency Management's Guidelines for Emergency Operation Centers. We propose the addition of a second floor over the existing administrative offices, as well as the Public Safety Communications Center. This building was originally designed to accommodate this expansion. We are estimating the cost of this expansion to be $130.00 per square foot, for a total estimate of $910,000. With your approval, we would like to pursue the available grant funds for this project.

Some modifications were made to the program as a result of the comments received during the public review of the draft document. I thought it best to wait until all the program adjustments were made. I understand the City is moving ahead on design for the Fort Kenay: Mission Street Improvements. Although the project does not show up in the FY'95 Construction program, it is possible that another FY'95 project could run into difficulties and not move forward. It is important to have FY'96 projects ready for delivery to use any potential funds that may become available. It will be to your advantage to complete design, acquire right-of-way, and obtain all necessary permits and clearances to ensure the Fort Kenay: Mission Street project can be delivered. The revised STIP includes the following projects in the Kenai area: Kenai Spur Road MP 8-10/Construction FY'95.

Alaska 1995 -} 1997 Statewide Transportation Program Improvement Statewide Transportation Improvement Program Alaska's transportation planning process is being carried out in accordance with all applicable requirements of the following: 23 USC 135 and Section 8 of the Federal Transit Act; Title VI of the Civil Rights -Act of 1964; Section 1003 (b) of the ISTEA related to Disadvantaged Business Enterprises in FHWA and FTA funded projects; Provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act; Provisions of 49 CFR part 20 regarding restrictions on influencing certain Federal activities; and Sections 174 and 176 (c) and (d) of the Clean Air Act. In addition, we have ensured that the following requirements are met: That the STIP has been developed with public involvement as required by Section 450.212; That the STIP contains only projects consistent with the statewide plan (the interim statewide plan, Tomorrow's Alaska); That in the nonattainment areas, the STIP contains only transportation projects found to conform, or from programs that conform, to the requirements contained in 40 CFR part 51; That the STIP is financially constrained by year; That the STIP includes a list of priority projects to be carried out in the first three years of the STIP; That the STIP meets the requirements of 23 USC 105; and That the existing transportation system is being adequately maintained and operated. Statewide Transportation Improvement Program PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT DRAFT - Public Involvement Developing Alaska's transportation capital improvement program or Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) results from an annual cycle of data -collection, analysis, and planning. The process requires identifying the state's transportation needs, proposing projects, evaluating and prioritizing proposed projects, and finally selecting and budgeting for projects. Through an extensive public involvement process undertaken in 1993, the Department developed a document, Transportation Needs and Priorities in Alaska, published in January, 1994. This "Needs List" was a compilation of prioritized transportation projects resulting from suggestions from local governments and the public as well as departmental determination of needs. All proposed projects in the Needs List had been categorized by project class and evaluated based upon specific criteria, resulting in each individual project receiving a ranking of priority 1, 2, 3, or 4. Program development began in March when the regional offices solicited from focal governments and quasi -local governments (community associations, village/traditional councils, etc.) confirmation or modification of existing projects and priorities as found in the Needs List. Suggestions for projects also were received from government agencies, user groups, business groups, environmental groups, and others. In addition, project needs were identified by the Department based on technical considerations such as driveability, safety, congestion, maintenance costs, pavement life, etc. A Proposed Summary of Changes to the Needs List resulted from this process. The regional public involvement program included several different elements. Public meetings to review the Proposed Summary of Changes were held in major urban and rural regional centers throughout the state during May and June. The regional meetings provided an opportunity to review the program with various local governments, legislative representatives, and other state and federal agencies, as well as the general public. The public meetings were intended to provide the widest possible range of Interested parties an opportunity to review and discuss the Proposed Summary of Changes as relevant to individual, local, regional, and statewide concerns or priorities. The meetings also provided the department with an opportunity to present an overview of current federal programs and the current STIP process. The overview included a review of the adopted statewide ranking criteria and an anticipated schedule of events for development of the FY95-97 STIP. In addition to the public meetings, announcement regarding this early public involvement effort was communicated to various groups across the state, including local governments, affected public agencies, village/traditional councils, Indian tribal governments, representatives of transportation employees, public and private providers of both freight and passenger transportation, user groups, and citizens. Individuals, groups, and communities unable to attend one of the scheduled public meetings had thirty days to review the Proposed Summary of Changes and submit written comments to one of the regional offices or to headquarters. 1 CRAFT Based on this input, the highest highway and transportation enhancement projects were converted to a three-year draft STIP. The highest priority projects were identified through a process that considered technical project evaluation scores; recommendations from the public, especially local and quasi -local government priorities; department policies; and the availability of funds. Current departmental policy directs that rehabilitation of existing transportation infrastructure to preserve facilities and/or reduce state maintenance costs be given highest priority in identifying projects for the STIP. Next priority was given to projects on the rural, non -connected road system, due to concern that Alaska's flexibility under ISTEA allowing use of federal funds on non -system roads_ might be curtailed under new federal legislation. Many of these rural roads are village sanitation roads, a high priority of the Governor's village safe water program. In addition, transportation enhancement projects and safety projects were given preferential treatment in the evaluation process to ensure state compliance with federal funding requirements for set -asides (10% of the Surface Transportation Program) for each of these programs. Projects to improve air quality in non -attainment areas were also considered particularly important. The draft STIP was advertised in the media statewide as available for public review during a 30-day period beginning August 15. The draft Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) for the Anchorage metropolitan planning area underwent public review during the same period. At the close of the public review period, the final STIP was developed, based on consideration of public comments. The final decision on projects for the STIP was made by the Commissioner. This is in line with the Public Involvement Procedures which underwent a 45-day public review period before being adopted on April 18, 1994. The final program does not differ significantly from the proposed (draft) STIP. The Anchorage TIP will be submitted as an amendment to the STIP In October. The availability of federal funding largely governs the number and nature of the projects included in the final STIP. Projects included in the plan are dependent on continued federal funding made available through FHWA and FTA. If the federal funding received varies from original estimates, the number of construction projects included in any one year will be revised accordingly. The federal -aid highway program also depends on the use of state matching funds which are appropriated by the Alaska State Legislature. The department budgets for and expends maintenance and operation dollars on highways for which the state is responsible. Air Quality The non -attainment areas in the state outside the metropolitan planning area include Fairbanks North Star Borough for carbon monoxide and the Mendenhall Valley in Juneau for PM-10. These non -attainment areas have been reviewed and applicable conformity determinations have been made. Based on the attached technical analysis, the projects proposed for the Fairbanks North Star Borough carbon monoxide non -attainment area and the Mendenhall Valley PM-10 non -attainment area do not adversely affect air quality. The plans and programs in these two non=attainment areas satisfy the conformity provisions of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments. 2 Alaska Marine Highway System Public Involvement _.fiiil A F T The program development process for the Alaska Marine Highway System (AMHS) is driven by the same basic transportation needs and undergoes the same legislative scrutiny. The vessel operating schedule development includes a review process by ferry scheduling committees in each community served by the system. Other groups serving tourism, shippers, and economic development organizations are included in this draft schedule review process which occurs twice per year. After several review cycles, an optimum vessel operating schedule is selected. This process is an indicator of demand levels for service and can lead to capital improvements in the multi -year capital investment plan. Decisions on infrastructure renewal and replacement are primarily based on technical analysis, such as annual shore facilities condition surveys and vessel condition surveys. Community involvement is solicited as part of the project development process, but the primary factors evaluated in prioritizing these projects are maximizing useful life of capital investments, maintaining service without unscheduled outages, passenger safety, comfort, and convenience, and improvements necessary to meet regulatory agency requirements. Decisions to build a new vessel or shore facility in communities not previously served are based on long-term planning studies. Public involvement is a major focus in these studies. The new multi -use vessel was recommended by the AMHS Master Plan and is consistent with the department policy plan. In addition to the public involvement that took place to develop the master plan and policy plan, projects of this nature have extensive public involvement components in their scope. Summary This public involvement process has been structured to assure that there is as much uniformity of information as possible, that there is a consistent basis for the prioritization of projects, and that all interested persons and organizations have an opportunity to propose projects as well as comment and review the Department's proposals. 4?R/aFT State Apportionment Program There are two major components to the state apportionment program. The Anchorage Metropolitan Area Transportation Study -Transportation Improvement Plan (AMATS-TIP) includes all projects within the Municipality of Anchorage boundary.

Figures shown on the report are the federal amounts in thousands of dollars. Some of the terminology and abbreviations are: Region is an organizational unit within the Department of Transportation & Public Facilities (DOT&PF): Central (CR), Northern (NR), Southeast (SR), Marine Highways (MH), and Headquarters (HQ). The map earlier in this package shows the regional geographic boundaries. Project Name gives a location and indicates what type of capital improvement will be undertaken. An abbreviation used frequently in the project name is, "TE" indicating that a project is part of the Transportation Enhancement program. Phase 2-Preliminary Engineering occurs in two stages. The first stage includes the public and agency scoping, data compilation, conceptual engineering, local government and public review, and environmental analysis necessary to determine project location and footprint. This stage concludes with an approved environmental document. The second stage includes preparing final design plans, obtaining environmental permits, utility agreements, re-evaluating environmental concerns, and advertising the project. 3-Right of Way includes identifying and purchasing the land necessary for construction of the capital improvement. Not ail projects will Include a Right of Way phase if the alignment of the road does not change. 7-Utilities includes identification and relocation of utilities equipment already in place at the improvement site. On new projects just starting this phase is being combined with Right of Way and Construction phases. 4-Construction includes construction engineering, bidding and awarding construction contracts and actual construction of the designed capital Improvement. 8-Planning and program administration includes mandated planning activities of which the State Transportation improvement Program is one. Compliance programs, such as Internal Audit Review, monitor performance of the department regarding the federal highway law and regulations. ARoortionment is the federal funding code for the program under the Inlermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act. The funding table on the following page defines these codes and shows the anticipated funding levels available and anticipated obligations of these funds. 8 FAY - Federal Fiscal Year is October 1 - September 30, such as, FFY95 is October 1, 1994 - September 30, 1995.

Paul Fuhs, commissioner of the state Department of Commerce and Economic Development, said Midrex Direct Reduction Corp. has chosen the North Kenai industrial area as a possible site for its new plant. But Fuhs said it's not a done deal yet. "It's great news for Kenai," Fuhs said. "But it's not the final go-ahead." The company is a subsidiary ofKobe Steel Ltd., one of Japan's largest steel makers. It still is consideringwhether to even build the plant, said Frank Griscom, a Midrex marketing vice president. "Nikiski was identified as the site with the greatest potential to produce the economics that could convince Kobe Steel to proceed with the project," Griscom said in a letter faxed to Fuhs Oct. 20. "The project economics are mar- ginal; not attractive enough at this time to produce a commitment to con- struct the plant, but positive enough for further promotion of the project," Griscom wrote. He declined further comment on the company's plans except to say F Continued on Pqp 9 Great A'. ska Bowl is top small business ........

Midrex is considering Alaska be- cause of its access to Pacific Rim mar- kets. The plant would import about 1.5 million tons of iron oxide a year from South America and then export about 1 million tons of finished product to the Far East, where it would be used to produce high grades of steel. "This is a product that's in real high demand," Fuhs said. The steel then can be used for such items as car doors. Alaska's unlimited supply of natu- ral gas also is a major consideration. A large quantity of natural gas is needed to remove oxygen from iron oxide when producing the refined product used by steel -makers, offi- cials said. "The ability to sign long-term con- tracts with natural gas is what really brought them to Alaska in the first place," Fuhs said. Midrex estimates that it would use up to 50 million cubic feet of natural gas a day at the plant. That's about 25 percent of what Enstar's 90,000 cus- tomers use on a typical winter day, according to Charlie Pierce, a spokes- man for the natural gas utility. The Midrex plant would employ State joins suit over Tongass By The Associated Press The state o. _ska is joining a lawsuit over timber cutting policies about 125 people full time, ranging from high -paying, skilled positions to lower -skilled, materials -handling jobs. Midrex also had been looking at Seward and Point MacKenzie, the latter across the Cook Inlet from An- chorage, as potential plant sites. Nikiski was chosen "because of the presence of existing industrial infra- structure and related utilities and support facilities/services...," Griscom said in his letter. Tesoro, Unocal, Phillips and Alaska Pipeline Co. all have plants within a mile of one another in Nikiski. If Seward had been chosen for the plant, then a natural gas pipeline would had to have been built to trans- port the gas across the Kenai Penin- sula from Nikiski. If Point MacKenzie had been picked, then the Knik Arm shoal would have needed dredging to allow in larger ships. Still, if Midrex goes ahead with the project in Nikiski, a deep water dock will have to be built. Fuhs said the deal is not out of the woods yet, "but it really helps to have them pick a specific spot. It's a real breakthrough." Developers could build tW iron ore plants, professor —__ Continued from Page 1 - way, which means it can be reached for development and transporta- tion. It is close to a deep port. On the down side, the deposit contains approximately 1.5 percent titanium, which presents process- ing problems, he said. Kaiser, U.S. Steel and Falconbridge have all looked at the deposit at one time or another, Trent said. Midrex, however, thinks with beneficiation their process might be able to handle the Klukwan de- posit. The president of Midrex has indi- cated that with a source of iron ore in Alaska, the company could be looking at two iron ore refineries to take advantage of Cook Inlet natu- ral gas, not one, Trent said. It started with great idea 4 non o says Discussions were underway Oct. 24. The deposit is on land owned by Klukwan Iron Ore Corp., in which Falconbridge is the majority share- holder, Trent said. It is aIso land on which the Nature Conservancy wants a 50-year moratorium on mining, he said. The parcel Is about 1,600 acres. The Nature Conser- vancy wants to put 600 acres into a bald eagle preserve and donate 1,000 acres to the university, but with a 50-year moratorium on min- ing. "We don't think that would be_. might to tie up properties for 50 years, especially when the univer sity need money," Trent said. "In my discussions with the president of Midrex, he said he would not like to see a moratorium on mining and he would like to visit Klukwan to see the deposit."
