Manninen, City Manager /j DATE: January 5, 1994 RE: January 4 Memorandum About the Central Peninsula Counseling Center's Request for Paperwork to put on hold Property Between Country Foods and the Dentist's Office on Barnacle Way After having read the attached memorandum this morning and discussing it with Mayor Williams and Jim Clark, Executive Director of the Central Peninsula Counseling Center, I have requested Mr. Clark to have a written request at the January 5 Council meeting with the history of the project as proposed and what the expectations are of the City of Kenai from the Central Peninsula Counseling Center organization. Mr. Clark indicated that he or someone from his organization would be present at the January 5, 1994 City Council meeting to discuss this issue and to request a first step to be taken by the City Council to reserve some City lands in order to "encumber" certain State grants and funding that the Central Peninsula Counseling Center has received commitments from the State of Alaska since July 1993. If the Council agrees that they would want to set -aside the property in order to have the Counseling Center build a building in Kenai, then this is but a first step. This will enable the Central Peninsula Counseling Center to encumber the State monies on a project and it appears that is the intent of their request (see attached). Furthermore, if the City is interested, the Council would have to authorize the staff to indicate ownership by either the General Fund or the Airport Fund and to proceed with land appraisal for the property. Is the General Fund buying the Airport Lands from the Airport, or are the Airport Lands available for sale? Also, the Council must make a determination if they want to follow City Code, Title 22, established for sale/disposal of City -owned lands. Enclosures cc: Cary Graves, City Attorney Charles A. Brown, Finance Director Kim Howard, Administrative Assistant WORKWOUNSELI.MEM wa.Aftcaw 1992 TO: Kim Howard, Administrative Aide FROM: Carol L. Freas, City Clerk City of Kenai DATE: January 4, 1994 Mayor Williams telephoned this morning and requested I get a copy of the letter of intent City Manager Manninen did for Frontier Training. Williams explained the Central Peninsula Counseling Center wants to do whatever paperwork necessary to put a hold on property between Country Foods and the dentist office on Barnacle Way. The Counseling Center hopes to build a building in Kenai. Center representatives met with Williams and Manninen and reviewed City property available for purchase. Evidently they are interested in that particular property. Williams wants to talk with the Council on January 5. Williams stated the situation is much like Frontier Training. The Counseling Center wants to make it look like there is some commitment -- commit, but not commit -- enabling them to tie up money received from the State so that the Legislature won't take the money back. They are wanting to make it look like they are moving ahead. clf CENTRAL PENINSULA COUNSELING SEP 215 FIDALGO STREET - SUITE 102 - KENAI, ALASKA 99611 - (907) 283-7501 FAX (907) 283-9006 1994 Mayor John Williams City of Kenai 210 Fidalgo Ave. Kenai, AK 99611 Dear Mayor Williams, I am writing to request a letter of intent from the City of Kenai concerning two of the parcels of land we discussed last fall. As you are aware this agency has received preliminary approval from the State of Alaska for two Capital grants totaling $650,000. to construct facilities for our mental health programs. From the list of possibilities you provided, our preliminary evaluation has centered on: (1) The vacant 1.632 acre tract (Lot 2, Block 1, Etolin Subdivision) on Barnacle Way, between Country Foods and the dental offices. (2) The vacant 1.489 acre tract (Lot 8, Block 7, Etolin Subdivision) on Willow St. adjacent to B & C Auto Parts. In order to complete the granting process with the State of Alaska we need to quickly submit budgetary information, preliminary plans for the proposed facilities, and a letter of intent from the City of Kenai indicating you will donate or provide at a nominal fee the land for these facilities. Bill Kluge is currently developing the preliminary architectural plans and your letter will allow us to complete our submission to the State and insure that we do not loose these Capital grants to the looming budget deficit. We very much appreciate your cooperation and assistance in this matter. Serely, im E. Clark, Ph.D. Chief Executive Officer cc: Kenai City Council Thomas J. Manninen Bill Kluge PROVIDING COMPREHENSIVE MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES TO THE CENTRAL KENAI PENINSULA. c-� SUGGESTED BY: Mayor Williams City of Kenai RESOLUTION NO. 94-1 A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, SUPPORTING PROPOSED OIL AND GAS LEASE SALE 85, COOK INLET, CURRENTLY SCHEDULED FOR JULY, 1996.

ROLL CALL Chairman Phil Bryson called the meeting to order at approximately 7:00 p.m. in the Kenai Council Chambers. Members Present: Theresa Werner-Quade; Charlie Pierce; Ron Goecke; Kevin Walker and Phil Bryson Members Excused: Carl Glick and Lori McComsey Also Present: Councilman Hal Smalley; Jack La Shot, City Engineer; Kathy Woodford, Administrative Assistant 2. APPROVAL OF AGENDA Chairman Bryson made two corrections to the agenda: Page 4a-2, the explanation of the proposed action says... "combined with Lots 1, 2, & 3, BI. 2;" it should say... "combined with Lots 7 through 12, Block 1." On page 5-b, the applicant for the Bush Lanes Replat should be Jim Doyle rather than Patrick and Mary Doyle. MOTION Goecke MOVED for approval of the corrected agenda and asked for unanimous consent. Walker SECONDED. Bryson asked for objections to the Motion. There were no objections. APPROVED BY UNANIMOUS CONSENT. 3. APPROVAL OF MINUTES - November 24, 1993 MOTION Pierce MOVED for approval of the minutes of the November 24, 1993 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. Goecke SECONDED. There were no objections. APPROVED BY UNANIMOUS CONSENT. 4. PUBLIC HEARINGS a. Resolution PZ 93-49: Rezone - Doyle - Lots 1,2,3, Block 2, Bush Lanes S/D Bryson stated the meeting will be opened for public comment and asked everyone to keep aware the request is for a rezone, any hearings concerning the vacation request will be at a later time. KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION Meeting - December 22, 1993 Minutes Page 2 Walker asked if the legal description is correct. Bryson said the request for rezone is Lot 1, 2, & 3, of Block 2 the description is correct. PUBLIC COMMENT Mary Keck, 1201 Lilac Street. Mrs. Keck stated she wants to address the rezoning and her comments are on the alley, too. She stated her objection to the rezoning of Lots 1, 2, & 3, Block 2, Bush Lanes S/D from suburban residential to commercial. She based her objection on "the integrity of the subdivision, safety of the citizens of the subdivision, and the natural movement of wildlife through the area." Mrs. Keck stated her objection to the storage of tractor trailers that may contain hazardous materials so close to residences. She said the alley is already blocked and, if approved, the alley will be closed making access for emergency vehicles more difficult. Mrs. Keck said the alley is used by moose as a travel trail. She added the safety of the residents, particularly children in the area, should be a primary concern in considering this rezone. Mrs. Keck said Lilac Street will deteriorate from heavy use. She said this summer there was a lot more traffic by tractor trailer rigs than normally seen on Lilac Street. She stated her fear that approval of the rezone would give the "green -light" to tractor trailers to use Lilac Street as access to the Doyle property. She stated her feeling that Doyle purchased the lots knowing they were zoned for residential use; he fenced off the property and used them for commercial use prior to approval. Ed Call, 1202 Lilac Street. Mr. Call said Mrs. Keck covered the majority of the problems that could, and have, happened. He said the road has been torn up before, and the traffic is getting heavier all the time. Mr. Cali stated his feelings of collusion regarding moving into those lots. He said when the trees were cleared off the lots a few years ago he asked if the owner could do that. The City Inspector, at that time, told him clearing the trees is compatible with zoning. Mr. Call stated this rezoning application is long after the fact. Mr. Doyle has been using these lots commercially for years. He said the alley that is blocked off was being used by many residents. Mr. Call said he thinks the building is built on a zero lot line. He stated the alley butts up against the back of the building. He said to use the alley behind the building you have to go around onto private property. Mr. Call stated his objection to seeing the alley closed. He said he remembered a time, years ago, when there were some cars in the alley and the City wrote a letter to Johnny Johnson and told him to move the cars. Tom Moore, owns a rental next to the Doyle property. Mr. Moore stated his support of the Doyles. He said he thinks the Doyles have done a good job sprucing up the area. He said Doyle's building looks nice and Redoubt Industries has been cleaned up to look nice too. Mr. Moore said he will support the rezoning because he thinks Lilac is a run- down street, the area could use fixing up, and the fence and gate would keep people from driving in his back yard. He stated emergency access could be on the front road. Bryson asked Moore where his rental property is. Moore said the address is 1230 Lilac KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION Meeting - December 22, 1993 Minutes Page 3 Street, directly between Redoubt Industries and Doyle's warehouse. Walker asked Moore to show him on his map. Moore pointed out Lot 35. Walker said it is west of Lot 2. Jim Doyle, owner of the property in question. He stated he did know the lots were residential, but used it as a parking area. He said he didn't change anything at the building to make it any different than when he bought it. He said he did clear the lots to make them usable for parking trailers there. Doyle said he feels it is safer with the fence there; it keeps the kids out of the area and off the tanks and trailers. Doyle said the tanks kept there do not contain hazardous materials, normally the tanks are empty. He said he has instructed his truck drivers not to drive down Lilac Street. He said he will keep things going as it has been for years, he just wants to make it legal. He said half the time the alley is not usable. He said he thinks the operation is kept clean and neat and he's going to keep the property fenced. He said he put the gate in for the utility companies use. Doyle said he has pictures if anyone wants to see them. Werner-Quade asked Doyle if he had thought of possibly dedicating a 25' easement to continue the alley -way between the new proposed zoning of commercial general and residential suburban on the southern property edge of Lot 3. Doyle said it is an easement through there; it's not to vacate the easement; it's to vacate the right-of-way; it's is a utility easement; and it needs to stay there. The alley would continue the same direction. Werner-Quade said she is asking about a dedicated easement on Doyle's Lot 3 in order to insure the continuation of the alley -way so it won't dead-end right there. Doyle said he's not following her. Werner-Quade asked if Doyle wants to leave the alley. Doyle said he wants to vacate the alley but make it a utility easement so the utility companies can get all the way through there. Bryson said to keep in mind this is a zoning request. He said he believes Doyle is proposing to have the alley right-of-way vacated and leave an adequate utility easement through there to cover the water line existence. Bryson said Werner-Quade is proposing the alternative of dedicating an access way from Lilac Street to the alley. (Mr. Call showed Mr. Doyle what he thought Bryson was saying on the map.) Werner-Quade restated her question - had Doyle thought about it. Doyle replied he had not thought about it. Werner-Quade told Chairman Bryson she did not mean to mix the alley with the rezone, she needed some clarification before she made her decision on the rezone. Bryson said it is difficult to think of one without the other because they are mixed. Werner-Quade said she is thinking of perhaps 25' of Doyle's property, Lot 3, in order to continue the alley -way and to separate the commercial general and residential suburban. Scott McLane, McLane and Associates, prepared the rezone application for Doyle. He stated he is at the meeting to answer any technical questions the commission has regarding the rezone. He also said he has a couple of things he would like to point out concerning the rezone. McLane said the combination of the commercial lots with the KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION Meeting - December 22, 1993 Minutes Page 4 adjacent residential lots seems logical in that there has been historical use of those lots for commercial use. Lilac Street is like a natural buffer between the commercial zone and residential zone. He said an alternative to granting an additional alley -way is they could put up a site -obstructing fence, vegetative buffer, that kind of method, which provides screening between the two zones. Bryson said the plat appeared to show the alley was dedicated with the same inference as Lilac Street and he interpreted it as being a right-of-way in both cases. McLane said Bryson is correct. He added that a few of the parcels, the lots further to the south, have double frontage so they don't need the alley -way for right-of-way purposes. He said that is why they came up with the idea of leaving the easement in lieu of the actual alley -way, right-of-way. Bryson said one other note he had was referred to as restrictions on the plat. One restriction was the lots fronting Lilac Street were proposed to be residential; the lots that fronted towards the highway and were land -locked were proposed to be commercial. Bryson said the other restriction was a house couldn't be built for less than $14,000. McLane said the plat was done in the early 1960's and there was no planning commission. MOTION Goecke MOVED for approval of PZ 93-49. Walker SECONDED. Walker said this action appears to be in keeping with the 10 year plan of properties along the highway corridor being rezoned to commercial. Since it is a use that has been going on for a long time he does not have a problem with it. Bryson asked if La Shot had any comments to add. La Shot said no, the rezoning stands on it's own. He added he will have some conditions to make on the next step, the replat. La Shot said the City does have a water line in the alley. The owner has proposed to dedicate an easement for maintenance of the water line; so as far as the City is concerned, it meets the requirements for accessing the water line. Bryson stated he has a problem with the proposed rezone. He said there is a house next to one of the lots, but they have apparently made no comment concerning the rezone, one way or the other. The lots across the street from the proposed rezone appear to have abandoned structures or lightly used structures. He added that portion of the subdivision is not being used residentially at this time. He stated his concern is the commercial zone moving beyond what he feels is the buffer. Werner -Quads said she needs some clarification on the dead-end alley. She asked if the rezone is approved, the whole chunk of land will be commercial, what happens to the alley? Bryson said at this time there has been no action on the alley. Doyle will have to KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION Meeting - December 22, 1993 Minutes Page 5 petition the Borough for modification of property boundaries. Bryson said as a result of the proposed rezone there would be no change in the status of the alley. Werner-Quade asked for verification; is there still a thorough -way. McLane said Doyle's intent is to have the alley -way vacated and have it dead-end. He added the utility easement will remain the same so access to maintain the utility will not be stopped. Bryson said the end result would be general commercial on both sides of the alley. Goecke said the commission is trying to decide on a rezone in that area now, not in vacating or keeping the alley -way, and it shouldn't be considered in this portion of the discussion. Pierce asked for clarification - have Lots 1, 2, & 3 been used historically as commercial? Bryson said Doyle bought the property in 1975 and cleared it, then used the area for storage. Pierce asked Doyle if Lots 1, 2, & 3 have always been used for the commercial use that is going on there now. Doyle responded, they have and prior to that they were being used as a car lot. At this time Doyle showed the commission a picture the property across the street from his property. Bryson asked for further comments. Hearing none Bryson called for vote. VOTE Werner-Quade Yes Walker Yes Pierce Yes Bryson No Goecke Yes MOTION PASSES. Bryson said the rezone has been recommended by the Planning Commission for Lots 1, 2, & 3, Block 2 of Bush Lanes Subdivision. It will now go on to the Council. At this time Mr. Call made a comment from the audience regarding the alley -way. Bryson replied to Call - the City has the authority to make the changes in zoning, the Borough is the authority on changing any property boundaries. Call said the way he reads it, all the property facing the Spur Hwy. and the ones on Lilac would be all one unit. Bryson told Call there will be action later on making the land all one tract. He said the overall plan is to get the rezone, vacate the alley right-of-way, and combine all the lots into one tract. Bryson added comments will be received at the Borough level regarding the vacation. b. Resolution PZ 93-51- Encroachment - Kaffka, Lot 9, Block 2, Highland S/D La Shot reported the owner of the property has a 1.7' main building encroachment into the front yard setback and an 8x12 unenclosed porch in that setback. La Shot said it appears to meet code requirements for approval. KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION Meeting - December 22, 1993 Minutes Page 6 Bryson asked for comment. Hearing none he opened it to public comment. Hearing none he brought it back to the commission for action. Walker said even though this is a comer lot and should be subjected to more stringent items, it appears the dwelling is a considerable distance from the corner and far enough down the street where the obstructing item shouldn't affect the view from either direction of the street. Bryson asked for action by the commission. MOTION Goecke MOVED for approval of PZ 93-51. Walker SECONDED Bryson asked for discussion on the Motion and hearing none called for vote. VOTE Pierce Yes Werner-Ouade Yes Goecke Yes Bryson Yes Walker Yes MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. 5. PLANNING a. Resolution PZ 93-52 - Beaver Loop Acres, a S/D of the N1/2, NE1/4, Section 10, T5N, R 11 W Bryson stated he will be abstaining from this motion because his company is doing the work on this for the owner. Is there any objection to my chair due to the lack of vice - chair? La Shot stated the property is owned by Pat Doyle. Tract A is the site of Beaver Loop Sand and Gravel, Lots 1, 2, & 3 all have existing structures. La Shot stated he has no problem with the plat as it is provided; there are no encroachments. He added the owner should apply for an amendment to their natural extraction permit for natural resources to better define the boundaries. The long range reclamation plans for the pit permit indicates some residential use there, but it's not real definite where the boundaries are. La Shot stated his concern is if the lots are subdivided off and change ownership there may be a different situation regarding the feelings towards the pit. KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION Meeting - December 22, 1993 Minutes Page 7 MOTION Walker MOVED for approval of Resolution 93-52. Bryson stated Resolution 93-50. Woodford corrected. It is 93-52; Reso. 93-52 and 93-50 are backwards on the agenda. Bryson noted for the record the motion is for 93-52. Goecke SECONDED the Motion. Pierce asked if this is item b. Bryson said the item is a; the resolution number was just incorrect. Bryson stated Tom Moore is in the audience to answer any questions. AMENDED MOTION Pierce MOVED to include recommendations one and two from staff. Goecke SECONDED. VOTE AMENDED MOTION Goecke Yes Pierce Yes Walker Yes Bryson Abstained Werner-Quade Yes VOTE MAIN MOTION Walker Yes Pierce Yes Werner-Quade Yes Bryson Abstained Pierce Yes MOTION PASSES. b. Resolution PZ 93-50 Bush Lanes S/D No. 2 - a Replat of Lots 7, 8, 9. 10, 11, & 12, Block 1, and Lots 1, 29 & 3, Block 2, Bush Lanes S/D No.2 MOTION Goecke recommended APPROVAL of Resolution PZ 93-50. Walker SECONDED. Bryson asked the surveyor, McLane, if he plans to allow the vacation to catch up with the paperwork and include the alley in the action. McLane said yes; the vacation will hit the January Borough Planning meeting. It is their intent for everything to meld together. Doyle said he is not clear on the issue. McLane clarified that the City can only approve the plat. The plat won't go any further until the Borough vacates the alley -way. KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION Meeting - December 22, 1993 Minutes Page 8 Walker asked McLane if this replat is to make all the lots into one. McLane said yes, with a 20' utility easement in lieu of the alley. VOTE Werner-Quade Yes Walker Yes Pierce Yes Bryson Yes Goecke Yes MOTION PASSES. Bryson stated this action will be sent to the Borough level, and the Borough will incorporate the City's comments in their action on the vacation. 6. NEW BUSINESS a. Goals and Objectives Bryson asked La Shot for comment. La Shot stated the City Council has asked all Committees and Commissions to submit any goals and objectives for 1994 by January 15, 1994. He added this was put on the agenda as a reminder for the next scheduled meeting. La Shot stated amendments to the Comp Plan may be one thing for the list. 7. OLD BUSINESS None 8. CODE ENFORCEMENT ITEMS None 9. REPORTS a. City Council - Hal Smalley Smalley said Ashley Reed spoke about what might be going on in Juneau and his contract was renewed for the year. Smalley stated the public hearings were pretty status quo. The only one that brought a lot of questions was regarding the street light. The Council wanted to know why this wasn't paid for at the same all of the other street lights were paid for. Smalley said the contract award to Mike Tauriainen was questioned because the soils testing was not included in the contract and will have to be added. Mr. Nelson spoke to the Council because he did include the soils testing in his bid. The contract was awarded to Tauriainen. Smalley stated he and Bannock supported the Town Site Historic map made up by the Planning Commission. He said Planning and KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION Meeting - December 22, 1993 Minutes Page 9 Zoning's map passed and so did the Ordinance Amended. The Ordinance Amended was an item on the square footage of buildings and business structures; it allowed for potential increase in size. He said a lot of people were there voicing opinions. Pierce asked Smalley to back track - was the street light something the City had just not been billed for. Smalley said the light was put on the list a year and a half ago. The purchase order was signed off before HEA billed the City for the light, so the money was still there. Pierce asked if all of the lights on that list were installed. La Shot stated he believes so. Smalley stated the City has received a lot of requests for new lights and it will be looked at in the coming budget. Walker added he has never heard one complaint about City money being spent on those street lights, and he felt no one would complain about spending the same amount of money on more street lights. Pierce asked if the price per light included working costs, and Smalley said no. Pierce also stated his concurrence with Walker. Pierce said his feeling is the street lights should be placed before a new Animal Shelter. Smalley said a public hearing for the Thompson Park proposed assessment district will be held January 19 in Council Chambers. Smalley said the legal department made some forms to donate money for the new ice rink. He said the money would be held in a bank account and returned if the project does not go through. Smalley pointed out the new Animal Shelter design. He said the idea behind the new shelter is the City of Kenai does not take care of only Kenai's animal problems; the problems are brought in from all over the peninsula. Walker stated his comments regarding a flat roof. He said they leak and he has never seen one that doesn't leak. Smalley said he will pass Walker's comments on. Goecke added his concurrence with Pierce; a new animal shelter is not needed as badly as a lot of other things. Smalley told Goecke the current shelter is undersized for the amount of animals it deals with. The new facility will have the proper space required for the amount of animals the City deals with. b. Borough Planning Commission - Phil Bryson Bryson said the item specific to Kenai was the plat addressed earlier in the meeting, Beaver Loop Acres. There was another announcement for an oil and gas sale. Bryson said this item was postponed because of the number of questions. He said the Borough has tabled recommending approval of the lease, concurring with the Kodiak Island 1orough in their comments that it be effectively run so as not to obstruct navigation and the fisheries. C. Administration - Jack La Shot La Shot said there will be a joint Legislature/Council work session to discuss the state of the budget and what might be happening next Tuesday night, December 28, 1993.

KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 15, 1993 PAGE 3 B-2. Ashley Reed - Contract for Lobbyist Services/Ashley Reed & Associates, Inc. - $24,000. Williams informed Council Ashley Reed was in the audience and requested Council hear comments from Reed and discuss Item H-7 at this time. There were no objections from Council. Reed stated the Legislature will need to make some big changes this session, although no one has a plan at this time. Reed stated a bigger issue is the price of oil. Reed added there may be a small or no state capital budget. Reed stated he believed there will be some creative financing done through the Legislature. There will be cuts to Municipal Assistance. Reed stated he believed it is good for councilmembers to come to Juneau and visit with the legislators, etc. However, it is good to have a lobbyist available everyday on the floor in case something comes up and travel to Juneau would not be possible. MOTION: Councilwoman Monfor MOVED to approve the contract with Ashley Reed & Associates as the City's lobbyist for 1994 year at the cost of $24,000. Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion.

MOTION: Councilwoman Monfor MOVED for approval of Resolution No. 93-97 and Councilman Measles SECONDED the motion. Public Comments: Bill Nelson - Wm. J. Nelson & Associates. One of the companies who submitted a proposal for the work. Requested Council to consider awarding the proposal to his firm because he felt his proposal was the best proposal. Nelson suggested Council request a work plan from the firms stating how they will approach the project with the least amount of problems and cost to the city and have an outside consultant determine which of the proposals is the best. Nelson added a consultant would base the determination on past experience, work record, etc. Nelson stated in preparing his proposal, he determined the existing soils information for Thompson Park was not complete enough. Nelson stated he wanted to do some additional soils investigation on Togiak. Nelson stated four proposals were received by the city. Three of those proposals included soils investigation. The one which did KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 15, 1993 PAGE 8 not include soils investigation was the one to be awarded the contract. Nelson stated it is the City's prerogative to award the contract and does not have to award it to the lowest bidder. Nelson stated his proposal is the lowest priced proposal with the complete work plan. Nelson added the City would not have change orders later using his proposal. Nelson asked consideration to award the contract to Wm. J. Nelson & Associates. Smalley asked Kornelis if the original bids included soils testing and to what degree was soils testing in the package. Also, what is the liability for the city if there are contaminated soils. Kornelis stated City Engineer La Shot handled the proposals and would answer questions. Nelson stated they were not looking for contaminated soils, but for soil conditions related to construction of sewer lines. They were not proposing a contaminated soil check. Nelson added it was his decision to investigate the soils as it is part of his service. Nelson stated he was not saying someone should have told him to investigate or not. It was his assessment given the information he received. Jack La Shot - La Shot stated when he originally put the proposal out he felt they had enough soils information. Later, with consideration of the depth of the sewer, etc., he called for more information to be in the proposals from the firms. La Shot stated the request for proposals is fairly informal and he thought he had contacted all the firms. Consequently, he found he had not. One firm was not contacted. La Shot added if the price of soils work was removed from the proposals, they would still be comparing apples with apples. La Shot recommended he have the soils work done with city equipment. Swarner asked what the difference was with the two proposals without the soils costs. Nelson answered his price was higher -- $2,720. Williams stated there was an overall difference in price of $4,603. Williams added the Council was faced with a dilemma. Williams added in his mind, the low bidder did not address the question regarding Togiak Avenue. Williams added no one knows what is under Togiak Avenue and how the project proceeds may hang on what the soils are like under Togiak Avenue. Council should get the best for the money. Council does not have to choose the low bidder. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 15, 1993 PAGE 9 Williams stated he believed Council should choose the firm who will do the best work. Williams added he thought Council should either throw out and re -bid the work or go with Nelson and be guaranteed the sub -soils will be reviewed and addressed. Measles stated the Council did not review the bids. Also he was concerned the resolution states "the award includes design, design surveying, soils testing, and preparation of project plans and specifications." Measles added he believed that portion of the resolution is misleading to the Council if the Council is to award a bid that did not have soils testing included. Monfor stated she felt it would be an injustice not to include Tauriainen (the low bidder) because he may not have been requested to add soils investigation. Henry Knackstedt - Engineer working for Mike Tauriainen, P.E. Knackstedt stated he put together most of the proposal. He was not told soils investigation would be necessary. Soils was discussed in his proposal. Knackstedt added all the streets in Thompson Park were rebuilt in 1984. The soils there are typically silty sands. He discussed their proposal with La Shot and found out other proposals included soils investigation. Knackstedt added soils investigation would be three or four holes. It would cost approximately $1,200 for his firm to hire a backhoe and would be considerably less if the city would do the holes. Knackstedt added soil information and well logs are well documented. He does not know if the other proposals included soils investigation on all the streets. Knackstedt stated he did not think that would be necessary. Williams stated he did not believe the City should do soil investigation work. Williams added he believed the City needs to insure that work remains with the contractor. Manninen stated he discussed the matter with staff. Staff recommends awarding the contract to the low bidder, Mike Tauriainen. Manninen added, notwithstanding Williams' comments, they believe the city crews can do the soil investigation. This was not a formal bid process and they did not mean to exclude anyone from the process. Manninen stated his recommendation was to go with the low bidder. Williams stated he believed Council should address the soils investigation. Monfor requested question of the motion. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 15, 1993 PAGE 10 MOTION TO AMEND: Councilman Measles MOVED to amend the motion by deleting "soils testing" from the resolution. Councilwoman Monfor SECONDED the motion. Discussion on the amendment: Williams stated if "soils testing" is struck from the resolution it would become impossible for him to support the resolution. Measles stated they cannot award a bid with soils testing when their bid did not include soils testing. VOTE ON AMENDMENT: Measles requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT on the amendment. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. VOTE ON AMENDED MAIN MOTION: Measles: Yes Bannock: No Smalley: No Williams: No Bookey: Yes Swarner: Yes Monfor: Yes MOTION PASSED. Measles suggested Council address the soils testing before proceeding. Measles added he is not in favor of the City doing the soils testing. Measles added he would prefer the city negotiate with Tauriainen for a not -to -exceed amount so that his bid will still be the lowest bid. La Shot stated Tauriainen has given him a price for no city time and equipment of $1,400. Using City equipment and no personnel, $780. MOTION: Councilman Measles MOVED that the Administration negotiate with Mike Tauriainen to do adequate soil testing on Togiak Avenue based on actual time and equipment charges but not to exceed $2,000. Councilwoman Monfor SECONDED the motion. Bill Nelson - Nelson recommended Council approve the motion. Nelson added he believed the study needs to be done.

ITEM D: COMMISSION/COMMITTEE REPORTS Williams referred to a memorandum included in the packet regarding extension of terms of some members of the commissions KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 15, 1993 PAGE 12 and committees. Williams requested Council remove Paul Padilla from the list for extension of terms as he is an employee of the City and therefore, by code, cannot serve on a commission or committee. Williams requested approval of the remainder of the list for extension of terms. MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED for approval of the submitted list for extension of terms with the exclusion of Paul Padilla. Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion. Swarner --equested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. Williams stated Mr. Bob Peters has been recommended to be placed on the Library Commission (taking Mary Quesnel's resigned position). Williams requested approval of council to appoint Peters to the Library Commission. There were no objections from Council. Williams noted Glen Jackson and Annette Saling have resigned from the Beautification Committee. Williams referred to an application included in the packet from Vera Tschoepl and suggested she be appointed to the Beautification Committee. Swarner stated she had been a member and did not attend meetings. Williams stated Clerk Freas has advertisements running in the paper requesting applications from the public for both the Historic Board and for various commissions and committees. Williams urged Council and persons attending the council meeting to encourage citizens to apply. D-1. Council on Aging Swarner reported a dinner was held at the Senior Center for its volunteers. It was well attended. D-2. Airport Commission Measles reported there was no quorum and no meeting. D-3. Harbor Commission Bookey reported there was no quorum and no meeting. However, members who were in attendance had a work session and discussed goals and objectives. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 15, 1993 PAGE 13 D-4. Library commission Monfor stated minutes from their last meeting were included in the packet. Monfor reminded everyone the Library Open House will be held December 21 from 4:00 - 7:00 p.m. D-5. Parks & Recreation Commission Bannock reported a meeting was held and the mission statement and goals and objectives were decided. Copies were included in the packet along with the minutes. Bannock stated the Commission also discussed the proposed ice rink. The Commission would like to have a say in the matter since the ice rink would be part of the City of Kenai and operated through or by the Parks & Recreation Department. The Commission should be involved in its development. Williams suggested a joint meeting between the Commission and the Ice Rink Task Force be held in the near future. Williams suggested getting in touch with Tom Campanella to set up the meeting. Bannock also reported their student representative Amanda Baldwin was in attendance at the meeting. Monfor stated she received a call last week from a Nikiski resident who stated the City should not forget they expect to cover their ice rink soon. Monfor added this should be considered by the Task Force. Monfor thanked the Commission for their goals and objectives. Swarner echoed Monfor's compliments regarding the goals and objectives. Swarner referred to comments in the minutes regarding a fee schedule. McGillivray stated there has been discussion the fee schedule needs to be in an ordinance. Brown stated there is not a consistent method of approving rates in the Code. Brown added some fees are addressed (dock) in the Code. Brown stated Administration is reviewing the matter to find a standard way. Brown added it does not necessarily take an ordinance to set rates. Williams asked if the rate schedule will be brought to Council for review. Brown stated he believes Administration is trying to determine a standard format for Council approval of rates KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 15, 1993 PAGE 14 throughout the city. Williams stated he thinks the format should be brought to Council for review. Brown stated, speaking for Administration, he wants rates to go to Council for review. McGillivray stated the Commission voted on the fee schedule and brought it to Council. Measles stated any user fees or rates should be brought to Council for budgeting. Brown stated he thinks budget time would be a good time for review. Brown added rates could be approached at anytime, but that budget time would be a good time for making changes. D-6. Planning & Zoning Commission Smalley reported there was no Commission meeting due to lack of agenda items. Smalley stated minutes from the previous meeting were included in the packet. The next meeting is scheduled for December 22, 1993. Attendance by commissioners has been consistent. D-7. Miscellaneous Commissions and Committees No report. ITEM E: MINUTES E-1. Regular Meeting of December 1, 1993. ITEM F: CORRESPONDENCE None. ITEM G: OLD BUSINESS Reconsideration of Ordinance No. 1569-93 - Amending the Official City of Kenai Zoning Map for Certain Lands Described as a Portion of Section 5 & 6, T5N, R11W, Townsite Historic Zone. The reconsideration of Ordinances No. 1567 and 1569 were changed in order. Ordinance no. 1569, amendment of the zoning map was heard first. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 15, 1993 PAGE 15 Williams stated at the on -set persons giving testimony have a five-minute amount of time to do so. Williams added the motion, as amended at the October 6, 1993, was on the table for discussion. Swarner stated she requested reconsideration of Ordinance No. 1567 because she was concerned not all property owners had received the information regarding the public hearings. Swarner added she now feels everyone has been notified and had ample time in which to respond. Swarner complimented Clerk Freas for her effort to distribute the mailings and time taken to find forwarding addresses for those envelopes returned. Swarner stated she appreciated Freas' diligent work and the inclusion of the mailing list and notations in the packet. Robert Cowan - Placed a map on the board with properties colored in which he indicated do not want to be included in the TSH zone. Stated he would be speaking for a number of property owners who were not in attendance and some that were attending (Jahrig). Cowan referred to the list of letters faxed to the Clerk this afternoon and added to the agenda and stated he hoped Council had time to review the letters. The letters all stated their opposition to being included in the TSH zone. Cowan added there are others in the audience, as well as the Petersens and Stanfords, who have stated their opposition to be in the TSH zone. Cowan stated he spoke with Jeff Jefferson and he is in favor of a smaller area. There are other property owners who have not responded to his inquiries. They have not taken a position. Others are out of state and he was unable to be contact them. Cowan stated he is concerned this zoning will affect land values. Cowan stated he was aware of several property transactions that did not go through because of the zoning. Also, Clarence Ladd has had problems in using his property as collateral with a bank. Cowan assured Council he is determined to continue to resist and will bring the question to the voters, running on a platform to rescind the ordinance if necessary. Monfor asked Cowan why he turned 1800 and why he believes the property owners are against the zoning. Monfor added there is more to the matter than property values. Cowan stated if a property owner wants to stay in the zone, let them. Cowan added the zoning ordinance is different from when he first worked on it KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 15, 1993 PAGE 16 (the original TSH zoning). Cowan stated he believes the zoning will affect the value of his land. Monfor stated all the area there was Old Town. Cowan stated it isn't anymore and it is too late to keep all the area as "Old Town." Monfor disagreed, stating the area is steeped with history. Monfor added the area is the City's "claim to fame." Cowan added the voters may have to decide as to monies expended on the area. Smalley stated he understood Monfor's concerns, however buildings outside the zone will still be able to qualify for preservation funds. Monfor stated her concerns have nothing to do with funding. Monfor added she has no monetary claim to the area, only the history. Will Jahrig - Stated he understood Monfor's family comes from that area, but if something needs to be preserved, let them come and take care of his property. Jahrig added the empty lots there have stayed stagnant. The Bicentennial Building was another means of "doing in" Old Town. Monfor stated she believed people were being reactionary. The zone will not tie up the land. Jahrig stated he tried to sell his property, but was turned down because of the zoning. Bannock stated there are buildings in the zone, built before the zone changed, which would not be allowed in the zone now. Williams stated the ordinance does not preclude a restaurant being built in the zone. Williams added people are reviewing the ordinance, but not understanding it totally. Williams added he does not think everyone looked at the document and he does not think the ordinance would be that hard to live with. The time spent on re- evaluating the ordinance by the Task Force, P&Z and the Council was to have some guidelines for the area. Bannock stated he believed the people in the area have spoken clearly as to what they want their property to be zoned. Sandra Vozar - Stated the bank will not lend money, etc. for property within the zone because it is a historical zone and therefore non -conforming. An exception could be received from the City, but that would de -value the property. Vozar stated she appreciates Monfor's concerns regarding her family having lived there. They don't anymore. The property needs to be developed. It cannot be held back. Vozar recommended cutting down the zone size. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 15, 1993 PAGE 17 Clarence Ladd - Stated he was not against the historical zone, but it needs to be put where it belongs. Wants to sell some of his property. Ladd stated Monfor at one time said she did not want any Natives on the Council on Aging. Williams stated those comments were not germane to the discussion and if Ladd did not refrain from making slanderous remarks, he would have him removed from the proceedings. Karen Mahurin - Objected to Jahrig's comments because Cowan stated at the beginning of the discussion he was representing other property owners of the area, including Jahrig. Mahurin stated she has lived in Kenai for 24 years and has been a member of the P&Z Commission. Mahurin stated she does not own property in the zone. Mahurin would like to keep the integrity of the area and believes the area is the heart of the city. Mahurin referred to Ordinance 1567-93 and stated it will preserve and allow for growth in the area. The ordinance allows for planned and selective growth. Mahurin encouraged Council to pass the zone size as it is and get in place the historic board. With the ordinance, it will be possible to combine the old and new with controlled planning. Dorothy McCard - Representing the Russian Orthodox Church and was a member of the TSH Task Force. Questioned the validity of the Cowan map. McCard stated the ordinance allows for tasteful building. McCard read from her letter included in the packet which discusses how the boundary was selected by the Task Force and allows and does not allow. McCard stated the property owners need to make an informed judgement. McCard urged Council to keep Ordinances 1567-93 and 1569-93 as passed on October 6, 1993. Roger Meeks - Was a member of the TSH Zone Task Force and does not own property in the zone. Stated at first he believed in what they were doing as a Task Force, but after discussing the matter with property owners, etc. found the majority of those with whom he spoke did not want to be included in the zone. Meeks stated those persons should have their interest protect and he did not believe this is the way to protect them. Meeks stated he sympathized with Monfor regarding her family, however the area where her family lived has been developed. The home is no longer there. Meeks stated there can still be a historical town and tours can be conducted, signs can be placed, etc. The looks of the history is gone. Meeks suggested KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 15, 1993 PAGE 18 including the actual historical property (the church, chapel, etc.) and the area for a historical village. The history will still be there, it cannot be removed. The zone will affect the property owners first. He does not think anyone is against the history. Meeks added the vacant property where the placement of proposed heritage village has been discussed was the site of the old black plant and he believes the property is very contaminated from oil, etc. Williams stated he is aware of what Meeks said and considerable thought has been given. Williams added if Council undoes what was done, those plans will be put aside. McCard - Stated there are federal tax incentives for property owners who fall in the historical zone. Kevin Walker - 311 McKinley Street, Kenai. Stated he does not own property in the area. Stated he believed the zone is fairly restrictive. Walker believes one person's definition of tasteful is not always another's. The populace of the area have indicated they do not want to be in the zone. Walker asked Council and Attorney Graves if the matter is voted down, if the property owners can apply for rezoning in groups. Graves stated the Code gives specific procedures. Property owners may apply for rezone if they fall within the rules of rezoning. Graves stated he would review the Code and discuss the matter with Walker if he would call him. Smalley stated a criteria of the rezone procedure is if 51% of the property owners within a zone want the rezone. Ron Goecke - Member of the Planning & Zoning Commission. The ordinances were discussed many times in P&Z and the Commission weighed all of the discussions. He put a lot of credence to remarks made by Roger Meeks. Goecke stated he appreciated Monfor's remarks, however that time is gone. Goecke stated a smaller area needed to reviewed. People look at the church, chapel and old buildings in the area and that's all. Goecke recommended making the boundary smaller. Bookey asked Goecke if he was still comfortable with the P&Z Commission's recommendation. Goecke stated yes. Goecke added if they started all over, he might suggest including only the church property and excluding everything else. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 15, 1993 PAGE 19 Paul Zallek - Cooper Landing. Stated he was in favor of the ordinance. The area goes further than local. Monfor stated her vote will not have anything to do with her family. Old Town is a major part of Kenai and it is more important to her than the Monfor family property. Old Town is what Kenai was and is. Monfor appreciates the feelings of those who spoke. If she could vote for them, she would vote for a smaller zone. However, there are more people involved in the area than those who are property owners there. Swarner stated she was still puzzled by people stating they cannot develop their property. Swarner added there has always been vacant property in the area and it was originally zoned General Commercial. BREAK: 9:26 P.M. BACK TO ORDER: 9:47 P.M. MOTION: Councilman Measles MOVED to table Ordinance No. 1569-93 and send the ordinance back to the Planning & Zoning Commission with instructions for P&Z and the property owners to bring back a proposal to make everybody happy. Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion. VOTE: Measles: Yes Williams: Yes Monfor: No MOTION FAILED. Bannock: No Bookey: No Smalley: No Swarner: Yes Williams stated his reasoning for the motion to table was to allow for review and trying to find a boundary to include the areas wanting to be in and less restrictive. Now, they will have to vote on the ordinance before them. Discussion followed as to what boundary was before them with the motion to reconsider. It was determined the motion reconsidered included Map "C," the Townsite Historic Task Force Recommendation, Alternate Two. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 15, 1993 PAGE 20 Smalley asked if Council did not propose an ordinance which would give a TSH zone, would it automatically go back to P&Z without a motion rescinding it to them. Williams stated it was Council's request to have the ordinance come to Council. If Council approves none of those proposed, it would be the one on the books since 1986, which includes the Old Town area and excludes the cemetery. Bannock stated he voted no because he was on P&Z and the Commission made their choice and opinion clear. Bannock added he has feared a choice would not be made and the matters would be returned to P&Z. A lot of time and effort has already been put into the ordinances. If this ordinance had been in place when Kenai Bible Church made changes to their building, including siding, windows, etc. those changes would have been thought as distasteful and not allowed. Bannock stated he does not think history has been slighted. The Kenai Bible Church is the oldest Protestant church in Kenai. Measles stated Bannock made a good case why the ordinance should be returned to P&Z. If one property is removed, then others should be removed also. Smalley stated he appreciated the comments made during the meeting, they were well thought. Smalley added Roger Meeks was very influential on his feelings. Meeks stated Council needed to listen to the people who own the land. That is important because they help pay the bills. Smalley stated he would not speak to the validity of the map. MOTION TO RECONSIDER: Councilman Smalley MOVED to reconsider Councilman Measles' motion to table and Councilman Measles SECONDED the motion. Discussion on reconsideration of Measles' motion: Smalley stated the Task Force, P&Z, Council and people have spent a lot of time on this matter. The Council wants to do the right thing, but not everyone will be happy. Smalley stated he has concerns about sending the ordinance back to P&Z. Measles stated he also has concerns about that but the discussion keeps coming back. The ordinance will change what has been in the TSH zone since 1986. Measles stated he has a hard time justifying taking some properties out that want out. Either take all of the properties out or don't take any out. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 15, 1993 PAGE 21 Sandra Vozar - Spoke for Vozar, Bay Arms/Cherrier and Ralph Petterson. Suggested taking everyone else out of the zone (following P&Z recommendation). She already has applied for a rezone to take her properties out of the zone. Graves stated there is a provision in the zoning code that her application to rezone could not be approved for another nine months. Graves stated he would not want Vozar to agree to this compromise without understanding there could be a delay to any rezone action. Vozar stated she would wait nine months, but could not answer for Jahrig, Anderson, etc. but they probably wouldn't have a problem. (Vozar turned to Jahrig and asked him if he could wait.) Vozar added if there is contaminated property, nine months won't make a difference to a rezone. Graves stated he wanted to advise Vozar of the possibility of delay. Karen Mahurin - Reviewed action: A motion for reconsideration; motion to table which was defeated; a reconsider of the tabling motion; if the reconsideration fails, what will happen. Measles stated there was a motion for reconsideration which was made slightly out of order. It is not debatable. Measles called for the question. After the vote, there can be a motion to return the ordinance to P&Z. VOTE/RECONSIDERATION FOR TABLING: Measles: Yes Bannock: No Smalley: Yes Williams: Yes Bookey: No Swarner: Yes Monf or : No MOTION PASSED. Debate on tabling the motion: Bannock stated he was steadfastly against returning the matter to P&Z as the Commission had made an educated decision on the boundary and made their recommendation. Bannock stated P&Z approached their decision from the standpoint of a minimum amount of area to be in the boundary. They were trying to protect the heart. Williams stated the question was whether to send this ordinance, using Plan C, back to P&Z for rezoning. If this motion fails, the Council can vote on the ordinance or amendment to the ordinance. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 15, 1993 PAGE 22 OFF RECORD: 10:12 P.M. BACK ON RECORD: 10:16 P.M. VOTE ON MOTION TO TABLE: Measles: Yes Williams: Yes Monf or : No MOTION FAILED. MOTION: Bannock: No Bookey: No Smalley: No Swarner: No Councilman Smalley MOVED to substitute the map ("C") with the map presented by P&Z, in reference, Alternate D. Councilman Bannock SECONDED the motion. Williams stated the motion, if passed, would replace Map C with Map D in Ordinance No. 1569-93. There was no debate. VOTE ON AMENDMENT: Measles: Yes Bannock: Yes Smalley: Yes Williams: Yes Bookey: Yes Swarner: No Monf or : No MOTION PASSED. VOTE ON AMENDED MOTION: Measles: No Bannock: Yes Smalley: Yes Williams: Yes Bookey: Yes Swarner: No Monf or : No MOTION PASSED. Karen Mahurin - Since the amendment changed the intent of the public hearing on the ordinance, she believed it should have been opened for another public hearing because it was a different issue altogether. Williams stated the maps were all a part of the agenda. The possibility of amendment was there because of all the maps being available. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 15, 1993 PAGE 23 G-2. Reconsideration of Ordinance No. 1567-93 -Repealing Ordinance No. 1133-86 and Replacing it With Ordinance No. 1567-93, Changing the Structure of the Townsite Historic District and Creating a Historic District Board. MOTION: Councilwoman Swarner MOVED for reconsideration of Ordinance No. 1567-93. Measles stated the motion was already on the table due to the reconsideration and no motion was necessary. Swarner stated she moved for the reconsideration and found she asked for reconsideration on the wrong ordinance. Swarner requested to withdraw the motion for reconsideration. Smalley asked Attorney Graves if Council votes down the reconsideration, then the ordinance stays in effect. Williams agreed. Smalley felt that would be a clearer thing to do. Smalley called for the question. Williams asked who seconded the motion to reconsider made at the October meeting. Smalley stated he was. Williams stated Council would now vote on whether or not to reconsider Ordinance 1567-93. Measles stated Council already voted to reconsider at the October meeting. Measles added the motion is before Council to either adopt or vote down. Smalley added, the ordinance is before them as amended at the October 6, 1993 meeting. Discussion followed as to what the motion was as passed on October 6. It was determined the ordinance passed on October 6 included amendments to the Historic Board portion and size of buildings. OFF RECORD: 10:24 P.M. BACK ON RECORD: 10:25 P.M. Williams stated Council would now vote on Ordinance No. 1567-93 as amended (during the October 6 meeting). Dorothy McCard - Asked if there would be a public hearing. Answer was yes. McCard stated she was representing the Russian Orthodox Church. McCard urged closure to the matter. McCard stated she was disappointed the boundary was changed. Christmas is a good time to have closure to the matter. The Church needs KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 15, 1993 PAGE 24 the protection the historic preservation ordinances give. McCard stated she felt the boundary size is critical. Urged Council keep Ordinance 1567-93 in tact. Roger Meeks - Echoed McCard comments. Meeks added he is going away with a better feeling and feels something was accomplished with this meeting. VOTE TO ACCEPT THE ORDINANCE AS AMENDED AND PASSED ON OCTOBER 6, 1993: Measles: Yes Bannock: Yes Smalley: Yes Williams: Yes Bookey: Yes Swarner: Yes Monfor: Yes MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.

The shelter should last a lifetime. Bookey asked if the City's animal control officers were involved in the design of the building. Kornelis stated they were very much involved. Kornelis added they received plans from all over the country in order to design a building that is small, but efficient.

Manninen reported, through Mike Navarre, Administration negotiated with DOT to place signs regarding sledding on the hill. The City made the signs and the State placed them on their right-of-way. Bookey asked if the State would be taking additional action. Manninen stated he was not aware of any other than placement of the signs. Swarner asked if the City placed the signs. Kornelis stated the city made the signs and the State placed them. Swarner asked if the City placed the signs at Fourth and Spruce.

(907) 465-4100 December 7, 1993 Dear Kenai River User: CITY ADMIN. Cc KENAI The Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) is requesting nominations for representatives to serve on a committee to advise the department on the use of capital improvement funds for protection and restoration of Kenai River habitat. The 1992-93 Legislature appropriated from the Exxon Valdez criminal settlement $3,000,000 for habitat restoration and enhancement projects, including acquisition of development rights or conservation easements in aquatic, wetland, and riparian areas within the Kenai River watershed from willing sellers. These projects must be related to the maintenance of commercial and sport fish species that were injured or lost as a result of the Exxon Valdez oil spill and the services they provide. Species injured in the spill include sockeye salmon, and the services injured were commercial, sport, and personal use harvest of sockeye salmon. ADF&G's, Habitat and Restoration Division has been given responsibility for administering this effort, in close coordination with ADF&G's Sport Fish and Commercial Fisheries Management and Development Divisions. The department is forming an advisory committee to provide advice and counsel as to the best use of the funds to meet the appropriation's objectives and public expectations. We are seeking nominations to represent sport fishers, commercial fishers, small property owners, large property owners, major state and federal land managers (including the Alaska Department of Natural Resources, Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation, U.S. Forest Service, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service), nonprofit conservation organizations, and local governments. We need people who can attend three to four meetings over the next year, are knowledgeable about the Kenai River, are interested in protecting and restoring salmon habitat, and can work constructively with other interests to achieve these objectives. Please submit any nominations, along with a brief summary of qualifications for each, to Lance Trasky at ADF&G, Habitat and Restoration Division, 333 Raspberry Road, Anchorage, AK 99518-1599, (fax 349-1723) to arrive no later than January 10, 1994. We plan to have an organizational meeting of the advisory committee in Soldotna in mid -January. Thank you for your interest. If you have any questions, please call me at 465-6141, or Lance Trasky at 267-2342. S' J Carl L. Rosier Commissioner cc: Susan Ruddy, TNC F. Rue, ADF&G J.

Box 582 Kenai, Alaska 99611 Requested Action: Rezone Legal Description: Lots 1,2 & 3, Block 2, Bush Lanes S/D Euisting Zoning: Suburban Residential Current Land Use: Medium Density Residential ANALYSIS KMC 14.20.270 Amendment Procedures (a) (2) Amendments to the Official Zoning Map shall be considered only if the area to be rezoned contains a minimum of one (1) acre (excluding street or alley rights -of -way) unless the amendment enlarges an adjacent district boundary. The proposed rezone area would expand a present General Commercial Zone which fronts the Kenai Spur Highway. There is also a proposed alley vacation and replat which coincides with this rezone. All property being rezoned presently is owned by the same party. Currently, a business is operating on the area to be rezoned. RECOMMENDATIONS The City has reviewed the proposed vacation and replat. The rezone is an attempt by the property owner to bring his business into compliance with the KMC by creating one large parcel all zoned commercial. It would seem.. to be a good solution to the owner's problems, however, public input should be weighed heavily. ATTACHMENTS 1. Resolution PZ 93-49 2. Rezoning Application 3.

CHAIRMAN PHIL BRYSON 1. ROLL CALL Chairman Phil Bryson called the meeting to order at approximately 7:00 p.m. in the Kenai Council Chambers. Members Present: Theresa Werner-Quade; Charlie Pierce; Ron Goecke; Kevin Walker and Phil Bryson Members Excused: Carl Glick and Lori McComsey Also Present: Councilman Hal Smalley; Jack La Shot, City Engineer; Kathy Woodford, Administrative Assistant 2. APPROVAL OF AGENDA Chairman Bryson made two corrections to the agenda: Page 4a-2, the explanation of the proposed action says... "combined with Lots 1, 2, & 3, BI. 2;" it should say... "combined with Lots 7 through 12, Block 1." On page 5-b, the applicant for the Bush Lanes Replat should be Jim Doyle rather than Patrick and Mary Doyle. MOTION Goecke MOVED for approval of the corrected agenda and asked for unanimous consent. Walker SECONDED. Bryson asked for objections to the Motion. There were no objections. APPROVED BY UNANIMOUS CONSENT. 3. APPROVAL OF MINUTES - November 24, 1993 MOTION Pierce MOVED for approval of the minutes of the November 24, 1993 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. Goecke SECONDED. There were no objections. APPROVED BY UNANIMOUS CONSENT. 4. PUBLIC HEARINGS a. Resolution PZ 93-49: Rezone - Doyle - Lots 1,2,3, Block 2, Bush Lanes S/D Bryson stated the meeting will be opened for public comment and asked everyone to keep aware the request is for a rezone, any hearings concerning the vacation request will be at a later time. KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION Meeting - December 22, 1993 Minutes Page 2 Walker asked if the legal description is correct. Bryson said the request for rezone is Lot 1, 29 & 3, of Block 2 the description is correct. PUBLIC COMMENT Mary Keck, 1201 Lilac Street. Mrs. Keck stated she wants to address the rezoning and her comments are on the alley, too. She stated her objection to the rezoning of Lots 1, 2, & 3, Block 2, Bush Lanes S/D from suburban residential to commercial. She based her objection on "the integrity of the subdivision, safety of the citizens of the subdivision, and the natural movement of wildlife through the area." Mrs. Keck stated her objection to the storage of tractor trailers that may contain hazardous materials so close to residences. She said the alley is already blocked and, if approved, the alley will be closed making access for emergency vehicles more difficult. Mrs. Keck said the alley is used by moose as a travel trail. She added the safety of the residents, particularly children in the area, should be a primary concern in onsidering this rezone. Mrs. Keck said Lilac Street will deteriorate from heavy use. She said this summer there was a lot more traffic by tractor trailer rigs than normally seen on Lilac Street. She stated her fear that approval of the rezone would give the "green -light° to tractor trailers to use Lilac Street as access to the Doyle property. She stated her feeling that Doyle purchased the lots knowing they were zoned for residential use; he fenced off the property and used them for commercial use prior to approval. Ed Call, 1202 Lilac Street. Mr. Call said Mrs. Keck covered the majority of the problems that could, and have, happened. He said the road has been torn up before, and the traffic is getting heavier all the time. Mr. Call stated his feelings of collusion regarding moving into those lots. He said when the trees were cleared off the lots a few years ago he asked if the owner could do that. The City Inspector, at that time, told him clearing the trees is compatible with zoning. Mr. Call stated this rezoning application is long after the fact. Mr. Doyle has been using these lots commercially for years. He said the alley that is blocked off was being used by many residents. Mr. Call said he thinks the building is built on a zero lot line. He stated the alley butts up against the back of the building. He said to use the alley behind the building you have to go around onto private property. Mr. Call stated his objection to seeing the alley closed. He said he remembered a time, years ago, when there were some cars in the alley and the City wrote a letter to Johnny Johnson and told him to move the cars. Tom Moore, owns a rental next to the Doyle property. Mr. Moore stated his support of the Doyles. He said he thinks the Doyles have done a good job sprucing up the area. He said Doyle's building looks nice and Redoubt Industries has been cleaned up to look nice too. Mr. Moore said he will support the rezoning because he thinks Lilac is a run- down street, the area could use fixing up, and the fence and gate would keep people from driving in his back yard. He stated emergency access could be on the front road. Bryson asked Moore where his rental property is. Moore said the address is 1230 Lilac KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION Meeting - December 22, 1993 Minutes Page 3 Street, directly between Redoubt Industries and Doyle's warehouse. Walker asked Moore to show him on his map. Moore pointed out Lot 35. Walker said it is west of Lot 2. Jim Doyle, owner of the property in question. He stated he did know the lots were residential, but used it as a parking area. He said he didn't change anything at the building to make it any different than when he bought it. He said he did clear the lots to make them usable for parking trailers there. Doyle said he feels it is safer with the fence there; it keeps the kids out of the area and off the tanks and trailers. Doyle said the tanks kept there do not contain hazardous materials, normally the tanks are empty. He said he has instructed his truck drivers not to drive down Lilac Street. He said he will keep things going as it has been for years, he just wants to make it legal. He said half the time the alley is not usable. He said he thinks the operation is kept clean and neat and he's going to keep the property fenced. He said he put the gate in for the utility companies use. Doyle said he has pictures if anyone wants to see them. Werner-Quade asked Doyle if he had thought of possibly dedicating a 25' easement to continue the alley -way between the new proposed zoning of commercial general and residential suburban on the southern property edge of Lot 3. Doyle said it is an easement through there; it's not to vacate the easement; it's to vacate the right-of-way; it's is a utility easement; and it needs to stay there. The alley would continue the same direction. Werner-Quade said she is asking about a dedicated easement on Doyle's Lot 3 in order to insure the continuation of the alley -way so it won't dead-end right there. Doyle said he's not following her. Werner-Quade asked if Doyle wants to leave the alley. Doyle said he wants to vacate the alley but make it a utility easement so the utility companies can get all the way through there. Bryson said to keep in mind this is a zoning request. He said he believes Doyle is proposing to have the alley right-of-way vacated and leave an adequate utility easement through there to cover the water line existence. Bryson said Werner-Quade is proposing the alternative of dedicating an access way from Lilac Street to the alley. (Mr. Call showed Mr. Doyle what he thought Bryson was saying on the map.) Werner-Quade restated her question - had Doyle thought about it. Doyle replied he had not thought about it. Werner-Quade told Chairman Bryson she did not mean to mix the alley with the rezone, she needed some clarification before she made her decision on the rezone. Bryson said it is difficult to think of one without the other because they are mixed. Werner-Quade said she is thinking of perhaps 25' of Doyle's property, Lot 3, in order to continue the alley -way and to separate the commercial general and residential suburban. Scott McLane, McLane and Associates, prepared the rezone application for Doyle. He stated he is at the meeting to answer any technical questions the commission has regarding the rezone. He also said he has a couple of things he would like to point out concerning the rezone. McLane said the combination of the commercial lots with the KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION Meeting - December 22, 1993 Minutes Page 4 adjacent residential lots seems logical in that there has been historical use of those lots for commercial use. Lilac Street is like a natural buffer between the commercial zone and residential zone. He said an alternative to granting an additional alley -way is they could put up a site -obstructing fence, vegetative buffer, that kind of method, which provides screening between the two zones. Bryson said the plat appeared to show the alley was dedicated with the same inference as Lilac Street and he interpreted it as being a right-of-way in both cases. McLane said Bryson is correct. He added that a few of the parcels, the lots further to the south, have double frontage so they don't need the alley -way for right-of-way purposes. He said that is why they came up with the idea of leaving the easement in lieu of the actual alley -way, right-of-way. Bryson said one other note he had was referred to as restrictions on the plat. One restriction was the lots fronting Lilac Street were proposed to be residential; the lots that fronted towards the highway and were land -locked were proposed to be commercial. Bryson said the other restriction was a house couldn't be built for less than $14,000. McLane said the plat was done in the early 1960's and there was no planning commission. MOTION Goecke MOVED for approval of PZ 93-49. Walker SECONDED. Walker said this action appears to be in keeping with the 10 year plan of properties along the highway corridor being rezoned to commercial. Since it is a use that has been going on for a long time he does not have a problem with it. Bryson asked if La Shot had any comments to add. La Shot said no, the rezoning stands on it's own. He added he will have some conditions to make on the next step, the replat. La Shot said the City does have a water line in the alley. The owner has proposed to dedicate an easement for maintenance of the water line; so as far as the City is concerned, it meets the requirements for accessing the water line. Bryson stated he has a problem with the proposed rezone. He said there is a house next to one of the lots, but they have apparently made no comment concerning the rezone, one way or the other. The lots across the street from the proposed rezone appear to have abandoned structures or lightly used structures. He added that portion of the subdivision is not being used residentially at this time. He stated his concern is the commercial zone moving beyond what he feels is the buffer. Werner -Quads said she needs some clarification on the dead-end alley. She asked if the rezone is approved, the whole chunk of land will be commercial, what happens to the alley? Bryson said at this time there has been no action on the alley. Doyle will have to KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION Meeting - December 22, 1993 Minutes Page 5 petition the Borough for modification of property boundaries. Bryson said as a result of the proposed rezone there would be no change in the status of the alley. Werner-Quade asked for verification; is there still a thorough -way. McLane said Doyle's intent is to have the alley -way vacated and have it dead-end. He added the utility easement will remain the same so access to maintain the utility will not be stopped. Bryson said the end result would be general commercial on both sides of the alley. Goecke said the commission is trying to decide on a rezone in that area now, not in vacating or keeping the alley -way, and it shouldn't be considered in this portion of the discussion. Pierce asked for clarification - have Lots 1, 2, & 3 been used historically as commercial? Bryson said Doyle bought the property in 1975 and cleared it, then used the area for storage. Pierce asked Doyle if Lots 1, 2, & 3 have always been used for the commercial use that is going on there now. Doyle responded, they have and prior to that they were being used as a car lot. At this time Doyle showed the commission a picture the property across the street from his property. Bryson asked for further comments. Hearing none Bryson called for vote. VOTE Werner-Quade Yes Walker Yes Pierce Yes Bryson No Goecke Yes MOTION PASSES. Bryson said the rezone has been recommended by the Planning Commission for Lots 1, 2, & 3, Block 2 of Bush Lanes Subdivision. It will now go on to the Council. At this time Mr. Call made a comment from the audience regarding the alley -way. Bryson replied to Call - the City has the authority to make the changes in zoning, the Borough is the authority on changing any property boundaries. Call said the way he reads it, all the property facing the Spur Hwy. and the ones on Lilac would be all one unit. Bryson told Call there will be action later on making the land all one tract. He said the overall plan is to get the rezone, vacate the alley right-of-way, and combine all the lots into one tract. Bryson added comments will be received at the Borough level regarding the vacation. b. Resolution PZ 93-51- Encroachment - Kaffka, Lot 9, Block 2, Highland S/D La Shot reported the owner of the property has a 1.7' main building encroachment into the front yard setback and an 8x12 unenclosed porch in that setback. La Shot said it appears to meet code requirements for approval.

In addition, our resolution will request that the city make no reference to our church and properties in any publications. This action is being considered due to the city's obvious intent not to develop a protective historical district in our community. The recent recision by the city council to reduce the size of the buffer zone around our National Historic Landmark has prompted this reaction. Sincerely, C ��V-ct Dorothy G.

The one-year treasury bill increased 27 basis points. It's likely that rates will continue to rise very slowly. I'm certainly not looking for a big jump in rates. With this small increase, however, we should be able to beat the budget estimate, but probably only by $25,000 or $30,000. Exhibit I shows the current status of the City's portfolio. The average annual yield of the current portfolio is 3.76% on $29,845,865.47 invested. At the end of last quarter, the City's average annual yield was 3.74% on $29,054,875 invested. We had no significant maturities during the quarter, so were not able to participate in the uptick in rates.

The Commission should approve the application by ENSTAR Natural Gas Company (ENSTAR) to amend its Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessiry (Certificate) No. 4 to merge the area currently held by ENSTAR under Certificate No. 89 into Certificate No. 4, and to cancel Certificate No. 89. 2.

By December 22. 1993, ENSTAR should be required to submit a revised Tariff Sheet No. 5.2, modified to remove the Kasilof and Clam Gulch areas. ORDER U-93-140) APPENDIX PAGE I of 16 Memorandum - U-93-14 Page 2 of 5 November 16. 1993 5. By December 30. 1993. ENSTAR should be required to submit United States Geological Survev (U.S.G.S.) Alaska Quadrangle maps, scale 1:63.360. or 1:250.000. delineating the service area amendment approved by the Commission. Background On March 5, 1993, ENSTAR filed an application to amend its Certificate No. 4 to increase its service area. to include the area held by ENSTAR under Certificate No. 89. and to cancel Certificate No. 89. Additional information requested from the utility in order to notice the filing was received on April 14. 1993. The application was noticed to the public on April 21, 1993 . with a deadline of May 24. 1993. for submission of comments in favor of, or in opposition to, the proposed application. One letter opposing the application was received during the notice period. The substance of the letter is discussed in more detail below. Discussion Mercer of Certificate Nos. 89 and 4: Cancellation of Certificate No. 89 Certificate No. 89 was transferred from KUSCO to ENSTAR by Order U-84-27(2), dated January 28. 1985. The service area held under Certificate No. 89 was not merged with ENSTAR's existing Certificate No. 4 at the time of the transfer because the City of Kenai. pursuant to an existing 20-year franchise agreement with KUSCO, retained an option to purchase the KUSCO facilities at the end of the franchise period. The franchise period expired in 1987; the City did not exercise its option. Staff believes it is appropriate to amend Certificate No. 4 to include the service area description delineated in Certificate No. 89. Concurrently, Certificate No. 89 should be cancelled. Public Convenience and Necessitv As required by AS 42.05.241. each certificate application is evaluated on the basis of two major criteria: (1) the public convenience and necessity of the proposed service. and (2) the fitness. willingness. and ability of the applicant. If the applicant is unable to establish that the public convenience and necessity require the service, then the fitness. willingness, and ability of the applicant is moot. The Commission has stated that "[a] certificate of service should include only those areas for which a demand for service is expected in the foreseeable future. and should not incorporate those areas in which future demand for service is speculative at best". Re College Utilities Corp., 6 APUC 663. 670 (May 20. 1985) . The ORDER U-93-140 ) APPEIDIX PAGE ,;I_ of 16 Memorandum - U-93-14 Page 3 of 5 November 16. 1993 Commission has also stated that "(iln considering whether to grant a certificate of authoriry to an applicant, the commission is motivated first and foremost by whether it has been r established that public convenience and necessity require the proposed service. which can be shown by proof of the existence of potential customers and a need for the service based on health and safety. " Re Summir Teleph. & Teleg. Co. of Alaska, Inc., 10 APUC 273, 274 (May 30. 1990). In its application, ENSTAR states that it is expanding its Anchorage, SoldotnaiKenai. and Eagle River service areas due to increased population outside its current boundaries. The Anchorage expansion encompasses the remainder of the Potter Creek Subdivision. The Eagle River area includes the Hiland Road area currently served by ENSTAR and the Eagle River Valley Road area where potential customers have been identified. The KenaiiSoldotna area includes customers already being served or areas expected to be served in the near future. according to ENSTAR, the Kenai Peninsula Borough is beginning to use local improvement districts (LID's) to assist residents in establishing and funding deposits for gas main extensions. Staff contacted the Kenai Peninsula Borough's assessment office, who confirmed that there has been a great deal of public interest in gas service and the LID program. One letter opposing the application was received from a resident of Kasilof. who complained that ENSTAR should not be allowed to serve Kasilof unless the utility, at a minimum. absorbed the cost of building a gas line to the community_ before residents had to form an LID. In its April 13, 1993 submittal. ENSTAR notes that although it has had requests for service in the Kasilof and Clam Gulch areas. it will be at least three years and five years, respec- tively, before service could be available. Staff questioned ENSTAR on this matter and found that the utility does not have a file of letters or service requests. or a construction plan or schedule for these areas. Based on these facts and the extended time frames. Staff believes that service to Kasilof and Clam Gulch is speculative and that these areas should not be approved at this time. Staff notes that the utility is not prohibited from refiling for these areas at a later date when the provision of service is more likely and the utility can support the public convenience and necessity of its request. Based on the above, Staff believes that the public convenience and necessity require the provision of natural gas public utility service in the requested area. as amended by Staff to remove the Kasilof and Clam Gulch areas. ORDER U-93-140 ) RPBIDIX PAGE of 16 Memorandum - U-93-14 Page 4 of 5 November 16, 1993 Fitness. Willingness. and Ability ENSTAR is a wholly -owned division of Seagull Energy Corporation and is affiliated with Alaska Pipeline Company. ENSTAR currently provides natural gas public utility service to the communities of Anchorage, Eagle River, Kenai, North Kenai, Soldoma, Palmer, and Wasilla, and has established the necessary organization for the engineering, customer service. and maintenance support required to provide that service. Current utility personnel will be responsible for the installation. maintenance, and repair of the additional facilities required to serve the expanded area. ENSTAR proposes to provide service to the new areas by extending its existing distribution facilities under Section 602 of its tariff, Extension of Mains. Costs for installing facilities under this provision are calculated for the year of construction under Tariff Sheet 35, Standard Construction Costs, which are based on the actual average cost per foot of two-inch or smaller mains constructed during the prior year. Financial Condition: ENSTAR anticipates financing the gas system with internally generated funds supplemented by possible short-term borrowings from its normal sources of capital and with customer - provided funds under its current tariffed main extension policy. The utility's annual report for the year ended December 31, 19921. shows current assets of $21.514,300 and current liabilities of 515.592.764 (a difference of $5.921.536). The utility has a current ratio of 1.38 (521,514,300/$13,592.764). ENSTAR shows a negative cash balance of $109,656. According to Daniel Dieckgraeff of ENSTAR, this negative balance is temporary and is due to certain debt and principal payments due on January 1 of each year. Overall, the company shows $2,347,628 in temporary cash investments. The utility's 1992 income statement shows depreciation expenses of $3,934.397, net income of $11.087.356, long-term debt of S71,184,187 , and $94, 316.215 of net plant in service. ENSTAR has sufficient financial resources to provide its portion of the proposed service. 1 The annual report breaks out f igures for ENSTAR, its transportation affiliate, Alaska Pipeline Company, and also presents a composite of the two. The figures which follow are those attributable to ENSTAR. ORDER U-93-140 ) IDIX PAGE f 16 Memorandum - U-93-14 Page f of 5 November 16. 1993 Tariff: Staff reviewed the tariff sheets submitted by ENSTAR and noted several minor ministerial matters requiring correction which it discussed with the utility. Copies of the tariff sheets with Staffs proposed corrections are attached to this recommendation as Attachment DBK-2. With the minor ministerial changes noted by Staff and agreed to by ENSTAR. Tariff Sheet Nos. Cover. 1, 5, 5.1, 5.3, and 5.4. should be approved effective the date of the Order approving this application. ENSTAR should be required to file a revised Tariff Sheet No. 5.2 which deletes the Kasilof and CIam Gulch areas from the service area map shown on that page. Service Area Description Staff has reviewed the service area provided in the application and proposes modifications to remove Kasilof and Clam Gulch from the requested description. Staffs modifications are shown on Attachment DBK-3 to this recommendation. ENSTAR should be required to submit U. S . G. S . Alaska Quadrangle maps, scale 1: 63.360 or 1:250.000. delineating the service area amendment approved by the Commission. Conclusion Based on its analysis of the application. Staff believes that the merger of Certificate No. 89 into Certificate No. 4 is appropriate: that the proposed service area expansion is required for the public convenience and necessity; and that ENSTAR is fit. willing, and able to provide service to the new areas, as amended. Accordingly, Staff recommences approval of the application.

In response to a feature article in the October Resource Review and a recent RDC "Action Alert," Alaskans are writing MMS in large numbers to tell federal regulators how the financial re- sponsibility requirements of the Oil Pol- lution Act of 1990 (OPA `90) will affect their businesses and livelihoods. )o far the message MMS is hear- ing is that the financial responsibility requirements of OPA `90 will adversely affect many segments of the economy and "result in unenforceable regula- tions," according to Tom Fry, Director of MMS. In late August. MMS published an "Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking" in the Federal Register aimed at implementing the financial re- sponsibility section of OPA `90. The financial responsibility requirements of the law apply to both commercial and private operations and can be read to literally include any person or persons transporting or storing any oil or oil products on or over navigable waters. The law makes no exceptions for quan- tity. In theory, if one moves as little as five gallons of oil or diesel on a sled The financial liability requirements of OPA `90 will also apply to private and public marinas. behind a snowmachine across navi- gable waters, that person is respon- sible to the OPA `90 requirements. State, federal and municipal facili- ties, as well as schools, airports, boat harbors, electric cooperatives, bulk fuel tank owners, wilderness lodges and many businesses and individuals would fall under the requirements. In the past, a $35 million liability bond was required for Outer Continen- tal Shelf (OCS) facilities, but OPA `90 increased financial responsibility to $150 million and expanded its applica- tion to navigable waters. According to (Continued to page 4) - Q Message from the Executive Director by Becky L. Gay 1994: A look ahead RDC looks forward to working with the Alaska Legislature next session. as difficult as it looks. As advocates for sound resource development, RDC believes it is never too late to focus eiforts on finding new sources of wealth and revenue for the ,uture well-being of the state and its citizens. The resource sectors offer such opportunity. The goals of RDC's legislative agenda are to enhance opportunity and remove unnecessary roadblocks from devel- opment of the state's basic resources, while ensuring envi- ronmental standards are met or surpassed with economic realities taken into consideration. Here's RDC's 1994 Legislative and Administrative agenda: nd Management: • Mental Health lands settlement: Support a resolution to this issue which fairly treats valid third party interests. returns original trust lands, encourages responsible development on trust lands and promotes a stable climate for resource devel- opment in Alaska. • Exploration licensing: Support legislation (SB 150 and HB 199) to augment present oil and gas competitive leasing program. • Exploration incentives: Support legislation (SB 151 and HB 200) to establish tax credits for eligible wells and geo- physical work in concert with exploration licensing proposal. - Forestry- 'upportfunding and increased action to address spruce b. etle infestation on state lands. Support action to enabi: Reforestation Fund. • Land assignations/exchanges/buy-outs: Analyze for direct or cumulative effect on resource industries, communi- ties and Alaska's economic development future. - Title 38: Support changes which improve opportunities for resource development. reduce conflicting or confusing lan- guage, delete unnecessary actions, increase efficiency and improve responsiveness to the public. - Citizens' Advisory Commission on Federal Areas: Sup- port improved funding for the Commission and encourage its continued activities and oversight of federal actions. Regulatory Reform: - General: Work on regulatory reform to streamline permit- ting, create realistic regulations and improve the regulatory climate for resource industries. -Legislative intent/oversight: Support constitutional amend- ment to provide for a super -majority of the legislature to overrule regulations which do not conform to original intent. - Wetlands permitting: Continue working with the state and federal permitting agencies to allow for flexibility and an Alaska solution to national wetlands permitting priorities, in particular, "no net loss." Litigation: • Civil Nuisance Actions: Support legislation to address costs to resource industries of civil nuisance litigation. - Recovery of Attorney Fees: Support legislation to request that the Alaska Supreme Court modify its interpretation of Alaska Civil Rule 82 to permit all prevailing parties to recover attorney fees and costs, including those who prevail over parties represented by special litigation organizations op- posed to natural resource development in the state. - Liability Reform: Support liability reform legislation to limit increasing costs to business. Other: • ANWR education & advocacy: Support legislative action on the ANWR issue for opening the 1002 study area lands for oil and gas exploration. Work to stop Wilderness designation. Support funding for activities to educate and lobby at the national. state and local level. • 470 Fund reform: Support legislation (SB 215/HB 238) to make management of the state Oil and Hazardous Sub- stance Release Response Fund (470 Fund) more consistent with original purpose when 470 Fund was revamped in 1989. - Citizen's oversight councils/non-development groups: Monitor and review funding sources. scope of activities as applied to resource development. contracts awarded and political actions which are counter to legislative intent and/or official: state policy. - Transportation: Support funding for maintenance and improvements on the Dalton Highway. Continue to support access corridors, construction of new transportation facili- ties. and maintenance of existing infrastructure to included airports. ports. and highways throughout Alaska.

Cloud 1993: A look back Satchel Paige, a famous pitcher, once remarked. "Don't look back, the bastards might be gaining on you." A review of resource issues during 1993 reveals that Satchel was right: - The Alaska Legislature worked on important bills during 1993 designed to thwart nuisance lawsuits and prevent agencies from administratively closing public lands to re- sponsible resource development. - The scope of the Mental Health Lands issue was reduced in size from 8 million acres to 1.5 million acres by the r^urts, pending appeal. - President Clinton threw out the 1 percent exemption" on compensatory mitigation for wetlands development and adopted a new "no net loss" rule. The battle for reasonable and fair regulations has moved from the Administration to Congress. RDC and the Alaska Wetlands Coalition continue to press for a fair wetlands policy. - The President also threw out plans for an EPA Alaska region which would have meant that regulators would go to church and shop with the regulated. - A new federal land czar took over 190 million acres of federal lands in Alaska during 1993. Secretary of the Interior Bruce Babbit appointed preservationists to key posts and is on record opposing multiple use principals on federal lands. - RDC staff provided administrative services to the Alaska Mineral and Energy Resource Education Fund (AMEREF) and is working with Junior Achievement to manufacture resource kits used by elementary school teachers. The AMEREF kits help teachers educate children about Alaska's minerals and energy resources and their role in society. - The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, as well as major tonal preservation groups, are pushing for more Wilder- ness in western and eastern Alaska. A conspiracy buff would assert that "they are trying to box us in." Of course, "they" wouldn't do that, would they? - State and federal forestry officials are losing ground to the spruce bark beetle infestation. Literally hundreds of thousands of acres are lost each year. Whole forests are turning brown and becoming fuel for a fiery disaster — such a waste of resource, not to mention the air pollution when it all goes up in smoke. • Alaska Pulp Corporation closed its doors after attempt- ing to get reasonable access to timber under its contract with the U.S. Forest Service. Hundreds of Sitka residents are out of work and millions of tax dollars have been lost as a result of this closure. Meanwhile, Ketchikan Pulp Company has filed administrative claims against the Forest Service for not supplying the entire volume of timber called for under the bilateral contract between KPC and the Forest Service. - Senator Ted Stevens was able to postpone a measure to expand buffer zones along streams and wetlands in the Tongass National Forest. In addition to the buffer zone requirements mandated by the 1990 Tongass Reform Act and the Alaska Forest Practices Act, this move would have resulted in further cuts in the harvestable timber base of the Tongass. - In response to demands from environmentalists, new Forest Service chief Jack Ward Thomas put on hold a major timber sale on Prince of Wales Island. The timber is vital to Ketchikan Pulp Company's operations and any further delay in harvesting will aggravate an already critical supply situa- tion at the company's sawmill and pulp mill. - Not content with shutting down over two-thirds of the commercial forest lands in the Tongass to logging, environ- mentalists have petitioned the federal government to list a subspecies of the gray wolf in the forest as a threatened species — even though there is no evidence the wolf popu- lation is declining. The designation, if granted, would lead to further restrictions on logging to protect the animal's habitat. - The Endangered Species Act reached into Alaska this summer temporarily closing the Southeast salmon fishery to avoid possible interference with a couple of salmon that might go up the Columbia River system to spawn in Idaho. These kind of actions cost tens of millions of dollars to fishermen, processors and retailers, not to mention lost tax revenues to the U.S. Treasury. - The Minerals Management Service in August issued a notice of proposed rulemaking that will increase the amount of financial responsibility required of persons transporting any amount of petroleum products over navigable waters, wetlands, streams or lakes from $35 million to $150 million. The previous rules had covered only offshore facilities han- dling oil. - Congress continues to work on changes to the General Mining Law that could make it uneconomical to explore and develop minerals on federal lands. (Continued to page 6) December 1993 / RESOURCE REVIEW / Page 3 Amendments to statute offer only solution to regulatory dilemma Continued from page 1) Fry, the term "navigable watl includes most of the surface waters in the United States ano adjacent wetlands. More- over. -offshore facilities' is considered, under the law. any facility located in. on or under any of the navigable waters of the United States. "These definitions seem to create a financial responsibility requirement for any activity that can spill oil and is lo- cated in. on. or under most of the sur- face waters of the United States and adjacent wetlands." Fry said. 'This goes beyond the offshore oil platforms with which the MMS is familiar." Fry confirmed that OPA `90 applies to state and municipal governments that operate facilities. "This could be signifi- cant to states such as Alaska. where many small communities maintain and operate oil fueled electric generating fa- cilities. Fry said public responses center mostly on the broad scope of the defini- tion "offshore facility' and the probability that $150 million in liability bonding would not be available or could not be afforded the majority of those potentially affected by the law. "At $150 million, we believe that very few companies can self -insure; therefore. insurance. as evidence of oil spill financial responsibility, will prob- ably gain increasing importance when the oil spill financial responsibility re- quirements of OPA '90 are imple- mented.' Fry said. The MMS would like to be able to develop approaches to implement OPA '90 in a reasonable and balanced way that preserves the purpose of financial responsibility without creating economic hardships, Fry said. "We are trying to determine what, if any, flexibility is avail- able within the confines of the statute." So far. however. the federal agency claims the language of the statute leaves it with very little discretion. Fry warned Page 4 / RESOURCE REVIEW / December 1 c unless the agency follows the law as literally stated. "our regulations may fail on one or more Key issues if challenged in the courts." The financial responsibility section of the law is based on broad definitions such as "offshore facility." "navigable waters' and "responsible parties." RDC is urging MMS to seek amendments to the statute to address these definitions and bring regulations in line with the original intent of Congress. Representative Gail Phillips. Major- ity Leader of the Alaska House of Rep- resentatives, warned Secretary of the Interior Bruce Babbit that MMS's newly proposed rules will have dire conse- quences on Alaskans if they go into effect. "A requirement for $150 million in liability bonding would affect a major portion of our industries, schools, indi- viduals and transporters of any fuel source to rural Alaska so adversely that it would force them out of business entirely," Phillips warned. "In particular. the lack of any minimum quantity of oil covered under these rules would force individuals storing only a few gallons for generators or other equipment to vio- late the law or get the $150 million in liability insurance." The Kodiak Island Borough passed a resolution opposing the financial re- sponsibility section of OPA `90, noting that the proposed rulemaking `repre- sents an unfunded federal mandate to the State and local governments in Alaska." The resolution warned that the rulemaking will hit local governments and small operators especially hard, potentially causing serious financial hard- ship. "It appears that the private insur- ance market does not have the capacity to provide for the financial responsibility requirement, even if it was financially feasible for those subject to the require- ment to obtain it," the resolution stated. MMS is considering holding a pub- lic hearing in Anchorage in February. By a 7-1 ratio, Alaskans are personally supportive of the oil industry, but those who are unfavorable are nearly twice as likely to express their feelings as those who are favorable. according to a recent survey. Alaskans favor oil industry By a wide margin, Alaskans believe oil and gas development has been con- ducted in an environmentally -safe man- ner, according to a statewide survey. The survey, conducted by Dittman Research Corporation for the Alaska Oil and Gas Association, also found that nearly 90 percent of Alaskans sur- veyed expressed the opinion that oil and gas development has been good for Alaska. "The survey results clearly show that Alaskans recognize the economic benefits oil and gas activities provide to the state and that Alaskans support resource development," said Judy Brady, Executive Director of AOGA. According to the survey, nearly three out of four Alaskans believe oil and gas development has been con- ducted in an environmentally -safe man- ner and nearly 70 percent support nil and gas exploration within the AN% Coastal Plain. Among long-time resi- dents, support for ANWR exploration was even stronger. Another significant finding, according (Continued to page 6) Sea Life Center in the works Alaska's coastal waters host one of the greatest concentrations of marine animals in the world — 33 species of marine mammals and 66 kinds of sea- birds. Yet Alaska has no place to care for sick marine mammals and seabirds. study them under controlled conditions or view them in their undersea environ- ment. The newly -proposed Alaska Sea Life Center in Seward would fill all three gaps with a unified triad of programs — marine research. rehabilitation of stranded marine animals, and public education focused on marine seabird and mammal biology. The project is being advanced by the Institute of Ma- ie Sciences of the U niversity of Alaska. ine City of Seward and the Seward Association for the Advancement of Marine Science (SAAMS). Sharon Anderson. a long-time resi- dent of Seward and a member of the SAAMS board of directors. told a RDC breakfast meeting gathering in Decem- ber that scientists, who currently go elsewhere to study Alaskan marine birds and mammals in a controlled setting, will have facilities and support at the Center to conduct basic and applied research on arctic and sub -arctic spe- cies. Located on the shore of Resurrec- tion Bay on property donated by the City of Seward, the Alaska Sea Life Center would include a variety of tanks and pools of varying sizes to house marine mammals, seabirds, fish and invertebrates. Also included would be a large laboratory facility for scientific re- search, and an animal hospital atwhich sick or injured marine mammals and irds would receive care. The program will operate with the advice and cooperation of the National Marine Fisheries Service, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The Alaska Sea Life Center would be located on land donated by the City of Seward. The site would be along the waterfront at far left. "There is no reason why environmental stewardship groups and resource industries, whether they be tourism, timber, minerals, fisheries or oil, cannot work together to build a healthy Alaska economy, too, for generations to come through projects like the Sea Life Center." - Sharon Anderson, board member, SAAMS Stellar sea lions, sea otters and seabirds will be featured in underwater and outdoor habitat settings with the grandeur of Resurrection Bay as a natu- ral backdrop. Inside. large walls of acrylic will create the sense that the viewer, too, is submerged in the ocean environ- ment. "The Center will become a show- case, demonstrating how public con- cerns about the environment can be translated into tangible research, man- agement and rehabilitation programs that yield healthier marine environment, said Anderson, who also serves on the RDC Board of Directors. "There is no reason why environmental stewardship groups and resource industries, whether they be tourism, timber, minerals, fish- eries or oil, cannot work together to build a healthy Alaska economy, too, forgenerationstocome through projects like the Sea Life Center." Proponents of the Center have raised $14.5 million and are seeking $25 million in funding from the $900 million Exxon Valdez Settlement Fund. Feasibility evaluations, utilities and to- pographic studies and various environ- mental, water and wave analyses have been conducted. A master plan, which will be completed in February, will iden- tify all permits required. Once full fund- ing for the $40 million facility is secured. construction will begin. Doors could open by the spring of 1997. Anderson reported environmental groups support the project in concept. but oppose using Exxon Valdez settle- ment funds. They prefer to use settle- ment funds for acquisition of private land and timber rights in Prince William Sound and along the Gulf of Alaska. With considerable public support for ongoing scientific research in the region, the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustee Council has endorsed the con- cept, but has yet to give its outright approval to the project. It has, however. included the proposal on its list of pro- posed 1994 projects now awaiting pub- lic comment. Anderson, enthusiastically cham- pioning the project, believes the Sea Life Center is a win -win proposal for the environment and the Kenai Peninsula economy. It would add jobs to the local economy, boost tourism and provide long-term research well into the 21 st century. December 1993 / RESOURCE REVIEW / Page 5 Advancing resource education ARK. a JuniorAchievement Company, in partnership with AMEREF. is producing the Alaska Resource Kit this winter for placement in Alaska schools. The JA company is comprised of 12 high school students from throughout the Anchorage School District. The students exhibited the kit at RDC's conference last month. Cloud: A ook back ... (Continued from page 3) • Through a series of lawsuits filed in 1993, the State of Alaska is trying to make the federal government live up to its partof the statehood bargain and pay for taking away income opportunities. • The Alaska Department of Environmental Conserva- tion (ADEC) worked hard to bring reason and balance to water quality regulations forced on the State by the EPA. Few communities and industries can economically comply with regulatory requirements other than those proposed by ADEC. • The Healy clean -coal project was nearly killed by the Clinton Administration because of the possibility that it might generate a steam plume visible from Denali National Park up to 144 hours a year — in the darkness of winter when the park road and its facilities are closed. After months of negotiations, the Feds and the prospective operator have reached a deal allowing construction of the $227 million plant. At least we're not the only ones with our hands full. The Alaska Department of Fish and Game is trying to protect caribou and moose from wolves, animal rights activists are trying to protect wolves by attacking tourists, tourism execu- tives are trying to protect tourists from animal rights activists and the Feds continue to shoot reindeer from helicopters because they were imported to Alaska 100 years ago by missionaries trying to feed starving Natives. There are more issues, but this is the season to be thankful, optimistic and helpful to those in need. Lower 48journalists Graham Fysh and Debra Saunders, who spoke at the RDC conference last month, also addressed a student forum at Bartlett High School. Standing at left next to the journalists is Bartlett English teacher Diana Lloyd. Conference keynote speaker John Knebel, along with RDC's Paul Glavinovich, spoke before students at East Anchorage High School. Throughout all of this year, our board members and staff have worked tirelessly attending meetings, studying issues, and drafting comments. Thank you all for a job well done. Merry Christmas and happy New Year! Oil survey... (Continued from page 4) to Brady, is that by a seven to one ratio, Alaskans are personally favorable toward the oil industry; however, those who are unfavorable are nearly twice as likely to express their feelings as those who are favorable. "This survey docu- ments the fact that state officials and legislators predomi- nately hear from a vocal minority who generally oppose resource development while the vast majority of Alaskans are supportive," Brady said. The survey found that most Alaskans continue to be- lieve the state is facing a serious budget crisis and solidly favor reduced state spending versus increased taxes to balance the budget. When asked what taxes should be raised, if tax increases become necessary, the top two preferred responses were implementing a sales tax (38%) or a personal income tax (26%). According to the survey, Alaskans overwhelmingly sup- port a $50 million fund to be available to respond to possible future oil spills and nearly four out of five believe the contribution currently paid by the oil industry should remai in the fund until it builds up to $50 million. Most Alaskans stirongly disapprove of the state's current practice of draw- ing from the fund to pay for operating expenses of the Department of Environmental Conservation and for other purposes which keep the fund balance below $50 million. Page 6 / RESOURCE REVIEW / December 1993 "The economic transitions that we are dealing with in the 1990s challenge us like we have never been challenged before. " said Jerry Hood, a high-level Teamsters Local959 executive. -We are challenged to make development and environmental interests compatible under a new administration in Washington. " ''Alaskans can become artificially poor if they are not allowed to responsibly develop and produce oil, timber and minerals which exist here. " exclaimed House Speaker Ramona Barnes. Barnes spoke ata special conference legislative luncheon forum featuring five other legislative leaders. Photo essay: RDC's Annual Conference From the resource producer to the preservationist and the consumer to the national retailer, RDC's 14th Annual Conference, "Alaska's Economy in Transition: Exploring Common Ground," attracted over 300 people and 47 dynamic speakers to address transformations in Alaska's local economies and resource industries. John Tracy, KTUU-Channel 2 News. joined Howard Weaver. Editor, Anchorage Daily News. to address the media's perspective of resource development and the economy. Scott Feierabend of the National Wildlife Federation and Pam Brodie of the Sierra Club joined a panel of Native corporation officials to debate environmental imperatives on Native lands. Johne Binkley, Vice President of the Alaska Visitors Association, focused on the rapidly expanding tourism industry. Don Shinkle of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.. joined other major national and local retailers in a panel discussion on the retail boom in urban Alaska. John Knebel, President of the American Mining Congress, told conference delegates about Washington's agenda for Alaska and the West.

MEMORANDUM DATE: December M. 1993 TO: Keith Kornelis, Public Works Director FROM: Robert Springer, Building Official SUBJECT: HEATING SYSTEM VISITORS CENTER f�ftftttttfftf�f�t�t�fftftf t�fftttt�tffttfttftttftfttfttftttttf f��ttrtttt�rtt�f I met with George of Peninsula Plumbing on 12/9/93 to troubleshoot heating system. The first suggestion by George was to shut off overhead fans in Visitor Center area. His comment was even with air temperature at 700 with constant air flow from above the surrounding air temp will "feel" cold. The second suggestion was that the system was almost two years old and all the control systems may need to be recalibrated by Johnson Controls. Other than these two suggestions the systems were operating properly and nothing else appeared to be wrong. After George's analysis, I decided to test some of the air temperatures, myself on December 10th. The following is a list of those results: Room Thermostat Setting Actual Temp Difference Offices 77 73.3 3.7 Visitors Center 82 72.2 9.8 Cultural Center 75 74.1 .9 Conference Room 74 72.8 1.2 Audio Visual 71.5 72.3 .8 Nature Room 70.5 71.8 1.3 Kitchen 73 72.2 .8 One possible reason for these discrepancies is the need to recalibrate these thermostats. Even though the discrepancies between the thermostat settings and the actual temperature readings are high in some locations, the overall temperature readings in the entire building average 72.60 . I have contacted Johnson Control to make arrangements for service personnel to come down and do routine maintenance on the Control Systems, on 12/29/93. The engineer from Johnson Controls also mentioned that a constant air source such as overhead fans can create an uncomfortable temperature situation by having that constant air movement across anybody occupying the area if the air temperature is lower than body temperature. cc: Tom Manninen, City Manager Mayor Williams & City Council Sue Carter, KBVCC Director I Volume 3, No. 6 A Newsletter of the Alaska Municipal league December 1993 I In 7his Issue.. .

AML, ACoM Set Plans for Legislative Conference and Issues Forum Governor Hickel to Speak, Lobbying Tips Shared Governor Walter Hickel will address local government representatives on Wednesday, January 19, 1994, during AML's Local Government -Legislative Conference. The Gover- nor will share his perspectives on the upcoming legislative session; later in the conference, participants will have a chance to compare that perspective with those of key legislators and administration representatives. The Local Government -Legislative Conference, scheduled for January 19-21 at the Baranof Hotel in Juneau, will be preceded by a meeting of the Alaska Conference of Mayors (ACoM) and an issues forum on the "Cremo Plan," a proposal to deposit all resource revenue and all existing reserves into the Permanent Fund and use Fund earnings to support state government. Interest in this concept has been growing, and a constitu- tional amendment may be proposed by legislators this year. ACoM will hold its winter meeting at 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, January 18, and the issues forum, open to all, will follow at 1:00 p.m. Activities on Wednesday, January 19, will begin with a session on the legislative process and lobbying techniques. Dr. Clive Thomas of the University of Alaska Southeast, an experton interestgroup politicsand theAlaskan political scene, will be the main presenter for the "Lobbying 101" session. Wednesday's conference agenda will continue after the Governor's speech with an AML member meetingon organizational and membership issues (see related article, page 3) and a brief ing on AML's priority issues to prepare participants for their advocacy efforts. The annual AML/ACoM Legislative Reception, which will provide a kickoff to those municipal advocacy efforts, is scheduled for Wednesday evening. As noted in the preliminary agenda included with the registration form (page xx), Thursday's activitieswill startwith perspectives on thesession from legislative leaders and administration representatives and continue with organized advocacy efforts designed to let every legislator know whatAML and its members will be seeking from the legislature this year, and why. Friday morning will give "hit squads" a chance to complete their work and report back to the group and AML staff.

Page 2 AML Touchstone ■ December 1993 Special Membership Meeting This year's mid -winter AML Legislative Conference will feature an additional event -a special membership meeting to discuss some of the fundamental concepts of the League. As most members are aware, questionsof governanceand partici- pation have been atroublesome partof the League's historyfor many years. Continued membership in the League has been a policy and budget issue for many of the State's larger municipalities atone time or another in the past. Whether the AML decision -making process adequately recognizes popula- tion size or financial contribution byvarious members has also been a long-term issue, surfacing in debates about assured seats on the Board and weighted voting systems on various occasions in the past The weighted voting and dues equity issue came up again in 1992, when it came under discussion at the League's annual conference in Juneau. We had, at that time, statements from some of the larger municipalities to the effect that their continued participation in AML hinged on modification of the voting system. As a result of those discussions, AML examined its dues and representational structures in comparison to the practices of other state and national associations. The Board acted to increase equity in the dues structure by Jopting a "self -pay' system, in which all municipalities pay their own AML dues, to replace the previous system under which some boroughs paid dues for cities within them while others did not. The Board also recommended a weighted votingsystem of one to eight votes, based on dues paid toAML. However, at its 1993 meeting in Kenai, the membership rejected this option. Note from the Executive Director Kent E. Swisher Do Alaska municipalities have enough in common to work together in a single organization pursuing their statewide goals? That truly is the heart of the issue. If commonality and mutual interest exist, the mechanics of governing an organization like AML are not difficult. But if mutuality and common cause cannot be found, no amount of organizational artifice can replace them. Where this leaves AML is the question at this point The Board has decided to bringthat matter before the membership at a special meeting to discuss this subject at the mid -winter meeting. The meeting will occur from noon until 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday, January 19,1994, atthe Baranof Hotel in Juneau. The discussion will be led by a facilitator in order to encourage participation and interchange of views among members. Local governments in Alaska are going to face some ex- tremely difficult and challenging times in the next few years, and they need to do it together in a coordinated way in order to be effective. Certainly there are differences among Alaska's municipalities and they should be recognized and accommo- dated. But there are also broad areas of commonality. Hope- fully, the diversity of the League's membership can be a source of strength in pursuit of goals that are important to all munici- palities. The Board wants to have a full and frank discussion of AML's situation and future atthe)anuary membership meeting with the hope that at least some outline for future action can be agreed upon. Cr 'dates for governor Jim Sykes, Jim Campbell, Sam Cotten, Tony Knowles, Steve McAlpine, and lieutenant governor candidate Fran Ui,..,;r appeared at the first AML Leadership Forum on Friday, November 12, to address the local Government Conference delegates. VI/ith the election a year away, the members appreciated the candidates making the trip to the Central Peninsula Sports Center to meet with them. This was the last time before the election that so many municipal officials would be gathering, and the Forum offered candidates and AML members a chance to share ideas and concerns. AML Touchstone ■ December 1993 Page 3 Coalition Continues Work on Open Meetings Act During the legislative interim, the Alaska .Jnicipal League and several other inter- ested groups have been meeting in an effort to draft mutually acceptable lan- guage that will clarify and amend certain provisions of the Open Meetings Act. Meeting with AML staff and Board mem- bers have been representatives of the Alaska Association of School Boards, League of Women Voters, University of Alaska, Alaska Press Club, and Alaska News- paper Association. According to AML Executive Director '::snt Swisher, the efforts have been mod- ately successful, and he thinks that most or the groups involved will come to agree- ment on a draft bill prior to the start of the session. "I feel that we all understand the problems with the current law much bet- ter after this process, and I am confident that working together we can obtain pas- sage of a bill that will clarify such issues as what constitutes a meeting and remedies for violation of the Act," said Siwsher. "There are one or two areas thatwe are still working on, but if we can agree on most °nts there may be room for honest dis- eement." Passage of legislation clarifying the Act was an AML legislative priority last year. A bill introduced in the Housedid make itto Senate Rules Committee but failed to ..;s out of committee for floor discussion id a vote. The AML Board has identified clarification of theActas atop priority in its 1994Municipal Platform. Senator Robin Taylor, the Senate Majority Leader, has 3pported AML's interest in clarifying the 't and expressed his interest in seeing °islation to do so passed this session.

Page 4 AML Touchstone ■ December 1993 AML Outstanding Contribution Awards Patrick Carlson, Assessor Kodiak Island Borough Patrick Carlson, Borough Assessor for Kodiak Island Borough, received an outstanding Contribution Award from the League in November. Accordingto his nomination letter, Carlson is respon- sible for the administration of the As- sessing Department by directing the planning, organization, and program direction for the assessment of real and personal property in the Kodiak Island Borough. He has streamlined the activi- ties of the Assessing Departmentto pro- vide the highest level of accuracy in assessments resulting in both increased revenue and increased services. Carlson also applied his skills by gathering data from the Exxon Valdez oil spill and developing defensible methods of de- termining the impact of the oil spill on municipal lands. "Pat Carlson's com- mitmentto excellence in public service is truly outstanding." Dan Keck, Mayor City and Borough of Sitka Dan Keck, former Mayor of the City and Borough of Sitka, also received an Outstanding Contribution Award. As stated in his nomination letter, Dan Keck was honored for his outstanding and long-term community and state- wide service. Keck served twenty-two years in state and local government as Assemblyman, Mayor, President of the Alaska Conference of Mayors, and Board Member and President of the Alaska Municipal League. He also vol- unteers his time for many other boards and commissions. "Mayor Dan Keck spends countless hours trying to make his city and the State of Alaska a better place to live, work, and recreate with no monetary award, just the opportu- nity to reside in a community and state he helped to form." AML 1994 Targets OMA, Tax Exemption Mandate and Funding Issues The AML Board has identified five prior- ity issues, the 1994 Municipal Platform, as the focus of the League's legislative program for the upcoming session. Clarification of provisions of the Open Meetings Act (see related story on page 4) Replacement of the unfunded man- date that requires municipalities to provide property tax exemptions to senior citizens and disabled veter- ans with an option to allow locally determined tax relief programs Maintenanceof FY94funding levels for Municipal Assistance and Rev- enue Sharing [Note: Governor Hickel's FY 95 budget proposal is due out on December 15, and as this newsletter went to press administra- tion sources were not willing to dis- close proposed levels of funding for these programs. However, proposals for major cuts are anticipated, per- haps exceeding the 25 percent cuts proposed by the Governor last year.] Support of funding for the school construction and maintenance grant programs Support of a coordinated and com- prehensive approach to transporta- tion planning that would involve local governments AML's legislative program, which is car- ried out by the members in conjunction with the Board, Legislative Committee, and staff, focuses its attention on the Mu- nicipal Platform issues. The Platform, which includes background information on the priority issues, and the 1994 AML Policy Statement and Resolutions, a com- pilation of the League's positions on a wide variety of topics, will be distributed in early January. League members are urged to keep up to date on legislative issues by reading the AML Legislative Bulletin, which will be published regularly begin- ning in January, and to take an active part in the League's legislative activities. AML Touchstone ■ December 1993 Page 5 Alaskan Clerks Institute Canceled for 1994; Plans for International Gathering Underway Gaye Vaughan, President of the Alaska Association of Municipal Clerks (RAMC) recently announced that the association had decided to cancel the Alaska Munici- pal Clerks Institute for 1994 to enable Alaskan clerksto concentrate their training resources on May's International Institute of Municipal Clerks (IIMC) conference, which will be held in Anchorage. "We knew that most municipal clerks in the state would be able to attend only one training program this year," said Vaughan, "and we wanted to be sure that everyone had a chance to participate in the IIMC gathering. After all, it's unlikely that the international conference will be held in Alaska more than once in any of ourwork- ing lifetimes. The chance to meet clerks from all over the world and to participate in IIMC's excellent training programs so close to home is a wonderful opportunity for Alaskan clerks." The IIMC Conference is scheduled for May 22-26, 1994, in Anchorage. Munici- pality of Anchorage Clerk LeJane Ferguson and Vaughan chair the conference plan- ning committee and are assisted by mu- nicipal clerks from all areas of the state. For more information on registering for the IIMC conference, contact IIMC at 909- 592-4462; to volunteer to help with con- ference preparations or activities, contact Ferguson at 343-4311. TheAlaskaMu- nicipal Clerks Institute, which will be held again in Spring 1995, is cosponsored by AAMC in conjunction with the Alaska Municipal League and the University of Alaska. 1 I 1 Register Now for the 1 1 1994 Legislative 1 1 Conference 1 1 1 1 January 18-21, 1994 1 1 1 1994 Municipal Association Officers Alaska Association of Municipal Clerks President - Gaye J.

Manninen, City Manager DATE: December 29, 1993 RE: Test Well #1; Beaver Loop Water System Improvements; Bill Nelson's Water Study Thank you for your input and Clyde Johnson's recommendation on the water well. It was discussed at the Council's legislative work session last night with the Mayor, City Council, Representative Mike Navarre and Senator Judy Salo. The Council requested additional information on total chemical analysis testing and costs to develop the testing of Test Well #1 from the Beaver Creek 1971 U.S. Geological Survey Study. As we discussed yesterday, this is the artesian well located at Beaver Loop/Angler Drive on City property. I indicated to them it would be ten days to two weeks to get a full battery of chemical analysis on the water samples. As discussed today, please get the full chemical analysis testing completed as soon as possible. Also, draw another Well #1 sample today and have it tested to see whether we still have the sulfur smell and do a complete chemical analysis of it. Please process whatever paperwork is necessary and I will sign it. Advise when the testing will be completed. Also, if we could do a draw -down test to determine the capacity of this artesian system and what effects it might have on any other wells and water in the area, it may be timely to do that. Please check into doing those draw -down tests and advise as soon as possible. I'd like to get a staff report to the City Council along with the results of Bill Nelson' s hydrologic study and water system study for the City of Kenai that is scheduled for sometime in January of 1994. Please advise Bill Nelson of this Beaver Loop water area if you have not already and see if he can factor that into his calculations in his January 1994 study. NOTE: I showed the Council the 1971 U.S. Dept. of Interior Beaver Creek Valley Ground -water Exploration Study along with Figure 2 on the City of Kenai Land Ownership Map from the City of Kenai's 1992 Comprehensive Plan showing ownership of this property. If there is any indication that we do not own the property, please check into it and advise so that we can acquire the property where the Test Well #1 artesian well is located (at the corner of Beaver Loop and Angler Drive). Please review the information on Well No. 1, get the chemical tests and the complete chemical analysis done as soon as possible. Advise me when it will be completed. Make whatever information you have available to Bill Nelson. Advise me of your staff recommendations after your analysis of the City's water system needs so that it can be incorporated into the early 1994 Nelson water study recommendation along with the results of the chemical analysis of Well No. 1 and other options of source of supply. See me if you have any questions, comments or concerns with this approach or any other information about the City's water system. Congratulations! It looks like we are on the right track! cc: Mayor & Council C:\WP51\WORK\WATERSTU.MEM CITY OF KENAI �!D ., c9d e 210 FIDALGO AVE., SUITE 200 KENAI, ALASKA 99611-7794 TELEPHONE 907-283-7535 FAX 907-283-3014 byland 1992 December 29, 1993 Kenai Visitors Center Attn: Sue Carter P.O.

If you feel you do not have adequate response for the situation, please free to call me. My home number is 283-3782, my City cellular phone number is 398-1403, or call me at the office, 283-7530. I hope this resolves any concerns that have been raised about future building maintenance at the Kenai Visitors Center. It is an important part of the City of Kenai' s building maintenance program. It is one of seventeen (17) buildings that the City's building maintenance person is responsible for in the City of Kenai. Please continue to advise me on an on -going basis of any assistance I might provide to the Kenai Visitors Center operations. Finally, regarding your concern about the "extra" carpeting stored at Peninsula Flooring, apparently former Mayor Tom Wagoner said it needs to be stored somewhere else. Since then, I was advised that there is no other suitable City storage place for the carpeting. Therefore, please make arrangements for carpet storage at the Visitors Center. Unless I hear otherwise from you, I will assume that you have taken care of the matter. I am sorry that we have not been able to provide other storage in another City building. Please get back to me with some other suggestions that may have been overlooked. Hopefully, this resolves any outstanding issue of building maintenance and support from the City that you have raised. Thank you for bringing these items to my attention. Sincerely, Thomas J.

Bob Springer is presently trying to find the cause of the recent heating problem in the foyer of the Kenai Visitors Center. He thinks it may be a balancing problem and we are having someone check the system out. After talking with Bob, we can only remember two incidents, or problems, with this building's heating in the last 1 1/z years. This last summer we had a problem with the air dryer and compressor that caused all of the heating valves to open. This overheated the building. You called a mechanical company who worked on it but it happened again. Bob was called 2 or 3 times after that. He fixed the problem by reducing the air pressure. While this overheating occurred 3 or 4 times throughout the summer, it was really the same problem, or incident, which Bob fixed. The second, most recent incident has nothing to do with the first. Bob thinks that the cool temperature in the foyer may be a balancing problem. Drastic or abrupt changes in thermostat settings may contribute to heating problems in this type of system. You should contact Bob before making any such changes. Attached are some additional copies of the Work Service Request I sent you on June 2, 1993. Please fill one out each time you have a maintenance request. If it is an emergency such as no heat, call Bob or me immediately, but still fill out the form so we will have a record. Thank you.

The Chamber was established In 1954. "40 Years of Excellence" will be the theme of most functions this year Including the theme for our 4th of July parade. Congratulations to the following Board of Directors who were recently elected to serve as officers for the 1994 year: Valerie Edmundson - President Bill Kluge - Vice President Jeannie Munn - Secretary /Treasurer ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ NEWS YOU CAN USE From the September Nations Business: In an article entitled "Taxing the Man Behind the Tree" you will find an Informative write-up on unfunded mandates. Unfunded mandates are requirements imposed by Congress or a state legislature which require money to be spent by businesses without any compensation. The Americans with Disabilities Act is such a measure. President Clinton's proposed health care plan is another. The aticle does not say that all such mandates are bad. It does say that some sort of cost analysis might be appropriate. This would allow people to know the true costs of legislation. This will be espe- cially Important as unfunded mandates become more attractive to lawmakers attempting to meet demands for programs and reduce budgets. Several states have enacted legislation asking their congressional delegation to come before their state houses to explain any new mandates. Is this something you would support In Alaska? THANKS To,:.... REVEWING MEMR } As 1994 arrives, we wish to thank all. members who have renewed. Your continued dedication and support of the Kenai Chamber of Commerce is appreciated.

COUNCIL PRESENT: Bookey, Measles, Williams, Swarner, Bannock and Smalley. COUNCIL ABSENT: Monf or . STAFF PRESENT: Freas, McGillivray, Manninen, DeForest, Burnett OTHERS PRESENT: C. Pierce (P&Z Commission member); P. Hanson, E. Meyer (both Library Commission members); D. Vinlowe (Peninsula Clarion) LEGISLATORS PRESENT: Representative Mike Navarre and Senator Judy Salo (Salo arrived approximately 7:30 p.m.). REPRESENTATIVE NAVARRE: Navarre gave a short statement of his perceptions of the upcoming legislative session. Navarre stated oil is under $10 per barrel, production is down, purchase power has gone down significantly. Navarre stated it is hard to tell what will happen in Juneau. There has been a lot of rhetoric. Navarre stated he is not optimistic and does not believe there will be much responsible actions taken. It's an election year and that will prohibit some ideas to be put on the table. Navarre added the pass through grants will have large reductions, but isn't aware of what level. The fiscal outlook is bleak, but there are reserves to tap. Navarre stated he believes there will be enough reserves to get through this year if they are all spent, however that would be very irresponsible. The Governor has suggested taxing and that will be debated. There will be discussion regarding a new state financing program (Cremo plan or other like it). The Finance Committee has met and discussed the Cremo plan (or similar plan). Navarre stated he feels these ideas will be discussed, but doesn't know if any will pass. KENAI CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION DECEMBER 28, 1993 PAGE 2 The operating budget is the largest since 1985. The capital budget will not come up until later in the session. Navarre stated he will keep Kenai up-to-date with what goes on. ALASKA CONFERENCE OF MAYORS: Williams stated the ACOM meeting will be held on January 18. They will be discussing the Cremo Plan. Williams asked Navarre and Salo to attend. ACOM hopes to have the discussion video taped for later playback on RATNET. Williams added he and City Manager Manninen and Councilwoman Swarner will be in Juneau from January 17 until early 21 to attend AML Legislative meetings. KENAI CIP LIST: Those present reviewed the CIP list. Williams stated the animal control shelter is the first priority. It was carried forward from the number two position on last year's list. Bid -ready drawings are being prepared for Spring. The growth of the city and the expanded service of Kenai's shelter (extending to Nikiski, Kasilof, etc.) makes the facility an absolute necessity. Any extra monies would be put toward water system quality improvement, which will be next year's first priority. Williams asked Council for any additional comments. Measles had none; Bookey stated Mike is aware of the situation and knows he will do the best he can for Kenai; Swarner stated she believed the water quality critical; Smalley and Bannock agreed with Swarner. Senator Salo arrived. Back-up information regarding the use of the animal control shelter (included in materials distributed at the beginning of the meeting) was reviewed. WATER SYSTEM QUALITY IMPROVEMENTS: Manninen informed those present the artesian well situated on Angler Drive (off Beaver Loop) had been uncapped. The well is pumping well and the water is very clear. Manninen showed a sample of the water to those present. The water has not yet been tested. Manninen stated he would like to investigate that well's possibilities. Manninen added if better water is found, there may be desire to add to the water system. There could be another project like Thompson Park in three to five years. Investigation I_ KENAI CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION DECEMBER 28, 1993 PAGE 3 of this well or others will still be cheaper than a joint filtration plant. Manninen reviewed the hydrologic study being done by Wm. J. Nelson & Associates. Williams questioned the cost of a wellhouse on Beaver Loop. Manninen stated he could not make an estimate at this time. STATE FUNDING NEEDED BY CITY DEPARTMENTS: Discussion followed regarding city departments needing state funding for various purchases, etc. Memoranda from department heads was included in the packet of information distributed giving an explanation of the need. Swarner stated her concerns regarding the major expenses to bring city buildings up to ADA standards. UNFUNDED MANDATES: City departments aware of unfunded mandates required in their departments gave brief explanations in memoranda included in the packet of information distributed. The unfunded mandates were briefly discussed (ADA requirements, OSHA Bloodborne pathogens, cannery worker camping, 911 service, etc.) Discussion regarding a new fire department tanker and cannery worker camping followed. Swarner stated she would prefer purchasing a new tanker than developing a camping area for cannery workers. The tanker effects everyone. Navarre stated he has discussed the Senior Center's need for new vans with Pat Porter. Porter doesn't want their request for discretionary funds to purchase vans to affect the City's CIP list requests. Navarre stated when money is allocated, it is limited. If money is put into vans, it will take money from the city. Navarre suggested to Porter to approach the City for a Capital Matching Grant Program. Navarre added he does not think the matching grant program will be very large this year. Salo stated she believed the need for the vans is a potential safety issue. Williams suggested a Governor's matching grant program for the vans. Williams asked Navarre about the possibility of a matching grant through DEC for water quality improvements and follow up with a grant to the city for the matching portion. Navarre stated he is KENAI CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION DECEMBER 28, 1993 PAGE 4 familiar with that concept. However, the amount of money that will be available this year from the capital budget will be less. If more money goes to matching grants, less money will be available for legislative grants. Salo asked if there are any projects from the City's CIP list that will show up on the Borough list. Williams stated the animal control shelter is on the Borough's overall list. However, it is not a joint request. There are no joint requests between the city and the borough. Bannock asked if it would help to be more specific in regard to the water quality improvements. Also, whether asking for $2,000,000 is obscene. Salo stated she would like more back-up information. Salo added the $2,000,000 is beyond what discretionary funds can give. Salo stated it seems to be able to get funding for a large project, several years' funding needs to gathered. Williams stated more detailed information will be made available to the legislators. Navarre suggested the city try to get the water quality improvements on the DEC list as there will probably be water and sewer monies spent this year. Navarre added the DEC and Governor's office need to be convinced of need. Williams stated the City will check on any requests made to DEC which may have already taken place. Back-up information will be forwarded to legislators prior to the capital budget discussions. FURTHER DISCUSSION: Smalley stated he would prefer purchasing a tanker before building tent camping. Concerns regarding water quality improvements. Swarner stated her concern regarding the cuts to municipal assistance and revenue sharing. Swarner also added her concerns regarding ADA requirements and unfunded mandates. Swarner added the ADA requirements effects lots of city buildings. Bookey wished Navarre and Salo lots of luck. Do the best they can and don't give us any unfunded mandates. Salo stated help will be needed to fight for Wildwood Correctional Facility again. KENAI CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION DECEMBER 28, 1993 PAGE 5 Williams asked if there has been discussion regarding municipalities taking on prosecution of traffic cases. Navarre stated if it happens, it won't be this year. There is nothing in place now as a long-term plan to do that. Manninen summarized information included in the packet regarding CIP list, department head priorities and unfunded mandates. Manninen suggested the water quality improvements be moved to the number one priority on the CIP list. Williams stated the city should concentrate on correspondence with DEC first. Both may be able to be done if there is any money. Williams added if the water quality improvements is placed on the DEC list, it may not get discretionary funding and that will mean no animal control upgrade. Navarre suggested water quality improvements be moved to number one. It may help convince DEC and the Governor's office of the importance. Navarre added it is hard to make a case if it is the number two priority, behind the animal control shelter. Navarre added that he and Salo will be in constant communication with the City Manager during the budgeting process. Navarre added they will know if there is money and how much and whether the City will want to change the priorities. Navarre stated they generally communicate with the city manager. Salo stated the discretionary money will be less this year. Discretionary funding may be easier to get for smaller projects. Williams stated this be tracked for the time being until it is determined what discretionary and DEC monies are available. Priorities can be switched at that time. Swarner stated she thinks they can be switched at the first meeting in January. Measles stated he did not think this a good time to switch priorities. Measles added the water looks good, but they have no idea if $2,000,000 will take care of the problem. We may find out after testing, $15,000,000 will be needed for a filtration system. Manninen stated the test results of the water will not be back for a few weeks. KENAI CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION DECEMBER 28, 1993 PAGE 6 Salo stated the discretionary funds won't gel until April. Navarre stated they will need backup materials for justification of need. Navarre stated the water quality improvement information will be needed as soon as possible. DeForest mentioned her largest mandate is to offer services to everyone that comes in the door and one-half of them are not city residents. Also, the Library serves the Wildwood Correctional Facility through a $7,000 grant. DeForest added she does not want library discretionary funds to interfere with city requests. Williams suggested he, Manninen and Swarner meet with Navarre and Salo the evening of January 18 in Juneau. Freas it to contact the legislators offices on January 5 to confirm. ADJOURNMENT: The work session ended at approximately 8:32 p.m. MEMORANDUM DATE: January 4, 1993 TO: Thomas Manninen, City Manager Keith Kornelisi, Public Works Director Jack La Shot, City Engineer FROM: Robert Springer, Building Official �s SUBJECT: HEATING SYSTEM VISITOR CENTER I met with Larry, from Johnson Controls on 12-28-93, he was the person who originally installed the controls for the heating system at the Visitors Center. He started in the Mechanical Room and recalibrated Controls and Transmitters. Then he reset slab temperature 100 and Hot Deck 50 higher. He then started inside the building recalibrating thermostats. While inside, he noted that the overhead fans in the entryway and wildlife exhibition room were not operating but should be. After switching them on, he noted that they were operating in the wrong direction and should be changed which is one reason for such a cold draft in certain areas. We then switched them to the opposite direction. While calibrating thermostats he discovered the thermostat in the Men's Restroom was not operating at all, which he traced back to the after -cooler not working properly. It needs to be serviced. After he completed his inspection of the entire system, he filled out a work order (copy attached) noting that the system is functioning correctly with no major problems. I have contacted Johnson Control to repair after -cooler later this month. �� INTMLS S-14,1�srson Initials Name oq, IC H,--, I A it-, Wullujol 1-e 0, I No Date . * / 7, - :& I Stock Location ion r Iq I Contract No- A salesperson Initials P.O.
