grant requirements matching funds must be provided and the attached
1994 RCFP Funds Condition Statement of Acknowledgement must be

Department does not have the funds available and did not include
them in the FY 94-95 budget, therefore the following appropriations
are requested.

following fire department accounts:

DATE: May 9, 1994
SUBJECT: Dock Repair & Maintenance Supplies Account
I would like to request the Finance Department do a resolution for the next council
meeting, May 18, 1994, to transfer $1500 from the Dock contingency fund (007.60.4999)
to Dock repair & maintenance supplies (007.60.2023). There was an overage on the cost
of the hardware to rebuild and improve the boat launch ramp that has caused this
account to go into the hole. This project at the dock was the Harbor Commission's
number 1 goal on their short term goals list and Council approved the purchase order at
their May 4, 1994 meeting.

C. Ballfields. Additional monies have been approved to do
the work at the ballfields as discussed at the last
meeting. From the experimental dig, it was decided to go

Little League is gearing up although Field #4 is still
very wet. Discussion about the unsafe traffic congestion
near Lawton and Tinker because of games and practices.
This was addressed at the Council meeting and "No

street.

right-of-way strip next to the Oiler's Ballfield. She
contacted the Oiler's last year and was assured it would
be cleaned up, but nothing was done. If the Oiler's

because it is an eyesore. Kayo will talk to the manager
and field committee about having the players pick up the
area.
6. MEN BUSINESS: None.
7. CORRESPONDENCE: None.
8. ADJOURNMENT:
Councilman Bannock stated the Council has been tied up with
the situation in Old Town and a possible boat exhibit at the -
Visitor Center.
An area behind the "dustbowl" has been set aside for a tent
camping site. Work is to begin for a gravel walkway and about
six campsites to be ready by June 1. However, due to the
recent rainy weather, McGillivray does not know if that
deadline can be met. This will be a fee area designed for
tourist campers and not necessarily cannery workers.

MEMORANDUM I I I I
To: Kenai City Council
From: Kim Howard, Administrative As istant
Jack La Shot, City Engineer
Date: May 16, 1994
RE: Economic Perspectives: Making the Historic Preservation
Connection Workshop
We attended the above -referenced workshop on May 13 & 14 in
Anchorage. The workshop was held at the Alaska Museum of History
and Art. Dorothy McCard of Kenai was also in attendance, although
not at the City 's expense. The first page of this memorandum
addresses items needed to complete the City's application to become
a Certified Local Government (CLG). Subsequent pages are notes
from the workshop that you may find interesting.
There are currently ten CLG's in the State of Alaska eligible to
receive historic preservation grant funds. There is approximately
$40,000 available each year, state-wide.
Please review the letter from Janet Clemens of the office of
History and Archaeology in your Council packet (Information Item
#6). We spoke with Janet at the workshop. The current ordinance
and map defining the Townsite Historic Zone have been provided as
requested in #1 of Janet's letter. Our Letter of Intent is on file
for FY95 grants.
As requested in #2, the City needs to identify professionals that
will be consulted when a particular project requires expertise in
the areas of architecture, history. and archaeology. The
professional must meet the guidelines outlined in the attached
National Park Service Federal Regulations. Each professional will
be asked to submit a formal resume which will be forwarded to the
Office of History and Archaeology. Who does Council wish to
identify in each of these fields?
Kerry Martin, the Planning Director in Seward, said Seward has been
a CLG for two years. They have a historian on their Board, but
they have never had to consult with the other professionals they
identified. Mr. Martin said he didn't know whether the
professionals would charge for or donate their services.
The application also requires an outline of a historic preservation
plan. Plans for the City of Seward and the Fairbanks North Star
Borough are attached as examples. The Board needs to decide how to
proceed with Kenai's historic preservation plan.
-1-
Historic preservation has a relatively new role in local
government. The first plan was created in Charleston in 1931.
Washington, D.C. didn't implement a plan until 1973.
Preservation is a partnership. The Historic Preservation Board
needs to establish relationships in the community with both the
private and public sectors. Purposes and goals should be outlined
in an ordinance and be able to carry through the next 10-15 years.
The Board needs to ask itself what they want to achieve and create
a goal statement. Board members should see their public role as
educators and advisors. The formation of a Board should strengthen
the community. As community values are protected and enhanced,
property values will increase.
The Board must ensure guidelines and standards are applied evenly
in the community. Members should avoid any appearance of conflict
of interest. It may be necessary to let go of strident opponents
and develop the advocates. Board members can work with civic
organizations and provide radio -TV public service announcements.
Commissioners need to be familiar with the ordinance and be aware
of the limits of their authority. The Board can work with City
staff and the Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation to determine
dollar amounts needed to meet objectives and apply for funding.
During Preservation Week the Board should advertise or run an
article in the local newspaper, or have a reception with elected
officials, use curriculum development in the schools, talk to or
involve kids.
In meetings, the Chairman should explain any conditions of approval
and appeals procedure to the applicant. Update guidelines if
necessary. Guidelines should consider taste and creativity.
Prescott, Arizona has walking and driving tour brochures paid for
by the CLG. (602)445-2000, (800)266-7534.
The Fairbanks North Star Borough has a joint project with their
historic preservation commission. They have historical landmarks
on a computer mapping base. This is used by the Planning
Department for long and short term use.
Nome has done a feasibility study and received funding through the
National Trust for Historic Preservation and EDA for the
restoration of Old Saint Joseph's Catholic Church. The City will
take over ownership and the building will house a city visitors'
center with interpretative displays.
Dillingham wants to get some of their canneries on the National
Register. Many of the buildings and sites contain asbestos and
other hazardous materials that must be removed.
-2-
Robert Sam from Sitka spoke at the workshop. He has restored
cemeteries and made them an attraction for tourists. They have had
up to 100 people a day touring the Russian Orthodox Cemetery. He
emphasized the advantages of working in partnership with the local
Alaska Native people.
Janet George, Regional Planner for DOT&PF, discussed ISTEA. She
said they are funding a variety of projects using ISTEA such as
restoration on the Russian Orthodox Church in Unalaska. The church
is on the National Register. There is a federal highway project
going on near the church. She said they take projects on merit,
deliverability and local support.
Midge Clouse, Local Government Specialist, Department of Community
and Regional Affairs (DCRA) also spoke. DCRA provides training and
technical assistance to local governments and community planning
assistance. Clouse said they can help historic districts. They
provide generic training for all boards and commissions. They
instruct them on conflict of interest, Roberts Rules of Order,
project and site planning and visioning. She said communities have
a better chance of getting money if they can tie their request for
funding to economic development. They strongly consider whether
the community can provide the operation and maintenance of the
project.
There were several speakers who discussed the importance of the
visitor industry in Alaska. Amy Jordan with the National Trust for
Historic Preservation in Denver outlined the five basic principles
for heritage tourism development:
1. Focus on authenticity and quality - the tourist will be
back or tell friends about the community.
2. Preserve and protect community resources.
3. Make your sites come alive. Use creative strategies such
as local foods, craftmaking and dramatizations.
4. Find community support and the desired level of community
tourism.
5. Collaborate and build relationships with nearby
communities. Use State offices and resources.
Four steps for heritage tourism development:
1. Assess the potential (attractions, visitor services,
organization capabilities, protection such as zoning and
sign ordinances, and marketing).
2. Plan and organize.
3. Prepare, protect and manage.
4. Market with success - then prepare your brochures for
public education materials.
-3-
Bernie Richert with the Economic Development Administration (EDA)
spoke. EDA has done two or three projects dealing with
preservation. He mentioned a tourism dock at Haines, the Minto
Lodge, and the Kenai and Soldotna Visitors Centers. Most EDA
projects range from $500,000 to a little over $1 million. EDA
grants money to develop local jobs through (1) long-term employment
for private sector for every $10,000 of federal dollars in the
project, and (2) high degree of labor on the project for areas
where there is a high unemployment rate.
Dierdre Bailey, Director of Grants and Sponsor Research Alaska
Pacific University, had suggestions on how to strengthen grant
proposals. She suggested getting copies of funded applications to
see what gets funded. If something doesn't get funded, ask for the
"panel comments." Examine annual reports and look for similar
grant projects that have been funded.
Cindy Marquette Adams, Alaska Funding Exchange, spoke about
preservation funding options and working with foundations and
corporate funding. She mentioned a man named Sam Bocca who is very
active in preserving churches. A suggestion when seeking funding
to preserve a church is to form a partnership with a "Sister City."
This entitles the applicant to international funding. She also
suggested that on any request for historic preservation funding do
the following:
1. Tie the proposal with economic development;
2. Emphasize community revitalization; and
3. Consider cultural preservation as well as historic
preservation.
She also stated to keep the focus broad, not narrow. The Board
should reflect the diversity of the community. All people can
bring a perspective. She also said to consider youth training.
Marquette Adams said there is new funding available regarding the
Information Highway through the U.S. Dept. of Commerce. The
National Tele-communication and Information Administration has $26
million to give away. The grants match 50% cash. Funding is for
infrastructure such as connecting institutions. It is for
enhancing communication networks that are operational, and creating
new ones. She suggested looking for a national player to tie in
with. She said to call Dr. Charles Rush at (202)482-2048 for a
newsletter.
Marquette Adams mentioned a program called "Innovations." It is a
$100,000 award for State and Local Government projects that deserve
national recognition.
The Exchange is Marquette Adams' publication - a monthly
newsletter naming funding sources that will fund in Alaska.

ITEM B: SCHEDULED PUBLIC COMMENT
B-1. Karen Mahurin - Save Old Town Committee/Request for
Support/Beautification Efforts.
Mahurin introduced herself, stating she represented the "Save Old
Town Committee." The "Save Old Town Committee" was defined as a
group of people who have banded together after Council action was
taken to decrease the boundaries of the Townsite Historic
District Zone. They have been meeting since January and have all
agreed their goal is to do what they can to preserve and promote
development in the original Old Town area.
During their meetings, they have learned (a) the City hired a
consultant in 1985 who produced a study with design and
development ideas for the Old Town area (Kasprinsin Study); the
Russian Church has been paying taxes on their six parcels for
many years (they are working to stop this); and, have requested
the federal government for "historical landmark" signs to be
placed along the highway, etc.
Mahurin requested City support and assistance to enhance the area
of Old Town including Main Street, Overland, Highland and Mission
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
MAY 4, 1994
PAGE 3
Streets. Enhancement includes (a) cutting weeds on City property
and planting flowers (they would like the Parks Department to
extend their flower planting to that area where many tourists
visit); plant grass and flowers in the bluff area; placement of
benches along Mission Street; investigate the property for sale
at the corner of Upland; work toward upgrading the bluff area to
protect it from destruction; and requested the City send out
letter to adjacent property owners and ask permission to cut
weeds and grass. They are willing to help the City on those
areas.
Mahurin stated they will have representatives attending the
Mission Street Paving Hearing on May 17. The Committee does not
want to stop development in the Old Town area, but wants to
continue to work to preserve the historical area. They believe
their efforts and the requests she has presented to the Council
will benefit the City.
Swarner asked if she was requesting planter boxes be placed.
Mahurin stated yes. Swarner informed Mahurin City Attorney
Graves had done research in regard to property owners in the area
cleaning up their properties, junk cars, etc. City employees
cannot work on private properties.
Williams suggested the Committee discuss their requests with the
Beautification Committee as they are in the planning stages for
placing flowers, etc. Mahurin stated they were not overstepping
the Beautification Committee, but thought if Council directed
actions to be taken, the work could get done faster.
B-2. Jeff Jefferson - Boat Display/Kenai Visitors &
Cultural center.
Williams stated he requested this item be added to the agenda
early in the meeting due to a tremendous amount of discussion
through various members of the community. There are two items to
consider: 1) an amendment to the Visitors Center agreement with
the City to allow for certain uses of utilities (water and
electricity); and, 2) the question of whether or not the planned
project including a concept of a heritage harbor -type facility
with a small commercial venture, should be undertaken by the
Visitors Center.
In earlier discussions between Administration and Williams, it
was felt the Visitors Center Board should make the decision as to
what could be placed on that property. The Board was reluctant
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
MAY 4, 1994
PAGE 4
to do so because the property is owned by the City. The Board
felt the decision should be properly made by Council. They asked
him to ask Council to make the decision.
Jeff Jefferson - Jefferson stated he represented himself and
about twenty other persons who have been working for the past
couple of years to acquire, restore, and place into public
ownership (the Visitors Center) several historic boats which
fished the Cook Inlet. These boats represent the fleet as it
existed as a wooden fleet many years ago.
Bill Kluge assisted them in putting together a concept plan to
properly display the vessels and to comply with various
regulations dealing with handicap access, etc.
Last year they acquired, restored and placed into the ownership
of the Center the K-6 which is now on display there. In
addition, they acquired, through the assistance of the Center, an
old natural needs setnet skiff (probably the oldest wooden boat
around that was restorable) and through a donation by Columbia
Wards, acquired a pile -driving work boat (which worked
approximately 80 years in the Inlet).
The boats have been acquired. The money has been acquired to
restore them. They are in the process of restoration now. When
those boats are completed, they will be donated to the Visitors
Center. After the Center's Board of Directors approves the
vessels, they expect them to be placed on site by the middle of
July.
The plan called for a snug boat to be placed in the display. The
snug boat needed $25,000-$35,000 for restoration costs. The boat
has been acquired. Mr. Tomrdle has taken the snug boat and
restored it and modified it slightly to accommodate an espresso
concession. They approached the Center at a conceptual level to
ask about the possibility of placing the snug boat at the Center
as one of the vessels and vend coffee out of it.
They saw that as achieving three important criteria: 1) provides
the public a convenience the Center does not have now; 2) adds
the snug boat as part of the display earlier than initially
planned; and, 3) by getting the snug boat on board, it helps them
to approach others to acquire additional private donations to
finish the project in coordination with the Center.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
MAY 4, 1994
PAGE 5
The boat is approximately ten days from completion. DEC has
approved the vessel. It has been inspected, pending the final
inspection. The vessel uses tanks. It does not tie into the
water system. Water is put into the tanks every morning. A
cappuccino machine uses about 20-30 gallons per day. Electricity
to be used would be used to heat a hot water heater for purposes
of washing hands and the espresso machine itself. No one can
give an estimate, but figures it would be a minimum of power and
water passed from the Center to the vessel.
It had been suggested the general notions be put into writing to
get a working draft for a concept document about terms of an
agreement with the Center. There were additional changes made in
the last few days due to comments and concerns of others.
Specifically, the question of appropriateness of a concession
vendor, RFP for the general public, etc. These items have been
discussed with City Attorney Graves. Graves was who brought up
the question that the City was providing the power. It is really
not for the Center to pass the electricity on. That is a
decision that rightfully belongs with the Council.
The agreement is simple and not the final document. The final
document will be negotiated between the Visitors Center and Mr.
Tomrdle. The document allows for Mr. Tomrdle to rent to the
Visitors Center for one dollar a year, the vessel with an
agreement that the vessel be placed at the Center for a given
period of time, year around. The Center concedes back to Tomrdle
a concession permit to sell cappuccino and espresso from May 15
through September 15 of the term of the agreement. The agreement
will limit exclusively the sales of cappuccino and espresso and
doughnut -type products seen at an espresso stand. No general
retailing would occur.
Advertising would be limited (only a small sign approximately 141,
long hanging in a window). During the period of the lease
agreement Tomrdle concedes to the Visitors Center the option to
purchase the boat if they desire, including all the concession
rights and everything else. Jefferson stated he felt strongly
that after the boat is in place, with the rest of the display, it
will not only complement the collection of the Center, it will
provide a service to the individuals using the Center, and place
a person with the vessels who will be able to discuss the
particulars of the vessels and their use. Jefferson believes a
movement will then occur to privately raise money to purchase the
vessel to add to the collection of the Center.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
MAY 4, 1994
PAGE 6
Jefferson stated the issue he found most troubling is the
appearance that someone may see as favoritism, etc. This matter
has been raised by several people. It is a legitimate issue and
important issue. The draft agreement proposes to deal with it by
setting a date each year during the term of the agreement in
which another person may come forward with a historic boat which
has been restored suitable for DEC specifications to vend
espresso and cappuccino from it. If the Board of Directors finds
the vessel satisfactory for display in the exhibit, within a
thirty -day period the Center may request RFP's from both bidders.
The Center would then exercise its discretion within a month and
may decide to change boats. Whether the Center must go to RFP is
unclear to Jefferson, however he felt this would fairly satisfy
the requirements.
The most fundamental issue: Is any private industry vending out
of the Visitors Center an appropriate activity? Jefferson
reviewed other businesses the City is involved in through leases.
The City government competes with private industry through
congregate housing, Dairy Queen, etc.
There is a letter from EDA saying private vendors are not
prohibited in the building. Because this activity does not occur
in the building, Jefferson did not know if EDA would have any
comments. However, they have modified the lease agreement to
raise the point that if EDA ever does say it is an inappropriate
activity, the vessel will be moved within thirty days. EDA notes
in their letter that concessions are recognized as an integral
part of these sorts of facilities.
Jefferson stated he thought he would be discussing the question
of electricity and sewer/water. However, it was his
understanding the Board, after their meeting, has asked Council
to decide whether a cappuccino/espresso concession is appropriate
for the Visitors Center. Jefferson stated they believe it is
appropriate even if it is a push -cart business. It is a public
service just as the airport has a restaurant to accommodate the
traveling public. They believe it is in the interest of the
Visitors Center and the City in promoting itself to allow this
activity to occur and allow them to proceed with negotiations
with the Visitors Center.
Bookey asked if Jefferson was asking for the water and
electricity to be furnished to them at no cost. Jefferson stated
yes, that is what they were asking. However, if that is an
issue, Tomrdle has stated he will pay $50 a month to cover those costs.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
MAY 4, 1994
PAGE 7
Bookey asked if the same hours would be maintained as the
Center's -- will it be a haphazard operation where it would open
one day and not the next. Jefferson stated no. The project
started as a money -making venture. Tomrdle has received other
offers for placement of the vessel. If the Center decides not to
place the vessel in that collection, it may be placed elsewhere.
Tomrdle wants to make money. Jefferson stated he would assume
the hours would be a 7:30 a.m.-7:00 p.m. hours, like other
businesses.
Bookey asked if this is not a financial success, will the vessel
stay there or would it be removed in 30, 60 or 90 days.
Jefferson stated the agreement proposed commits the vessel to be
there for a five-year period for the Center to use as it sees
fit, as long as it is not commercial. If their cappuccino/
espresso concession flops, the vessel stays.
Monfor asked where the water tanks would be dumped. Jefferson
stated there is a holding tank (DEC requirement). They estimate
the tank will have to be cleaned three times a week. The tank
has a submersible pump to pump the water out into a tank truck
and to be disposed of as required by DEC in a certified disposal
site.
Monfor asked who would be responsible for injuries during the
off-season. Monfor added she still has a hard time, either with
the City or Visitors Center, paying for the water, electricity,
or the dollar a year. Monfor added she did not have a problem
with the concept. However, once the City/Visitors Center starts
paying private enterprise to come in, it is opening a whole can
of worms. Monfor stated she did not want the Visitors Center to
become another Homer Spit. Jefferson stated the proposed
agreement required Tomrdle to indemnify and hold harmless the
Visitors Center and the City for any and all liability arising
out of either the business enterprise or the vessel itself.
During the off-season the vessel is the property of the Visitors
Center. It is then part of their display. It could be used at
the "Christmas Comes to Kenai" bonfire to serve hot chocolate,
coffee, etc. From September 16 through May 14 every year it is
no different than the vessel placed there at this time (K-14).
Jefferson assumed the K-14 is covered under the general liability
policy of the Center. That is why the Visitors Center pays one
dollar a year for the vessel. They then have taken the vessel,
conceded back the concession rights, but the control of the
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
MAY 4, 1994
PAGE 8
vessel is with the Center and should simplify any problems with
bringing that vessel at that time under their liability policy.
Williams asked Brown who carries the liability insurance for the
Center's collections. Brown answered the City does.
Smalley commented he visited the restoring project and it is an
outstanding job. Smalley added he believed the vessel could only
enhance the Center's endeavors. Initially he had a problem with
the free utilities. However, the Council has reduced leases and
rates because that entity had trouble making a profit. Utilities
at the airport are paid (to a degree) by the City. Smalley
suggested a not -to -exceed rate be set. Smalley stated he could
support this easily.
Swarner stated she realized an espresso bar in that area of town
would be an asset. Swarner questioned, however, that it would be
on City property when there is other property available around
there. Also, the public has not been notified of the proposed
business. Swarner added she did not want the Council to approve
the proposal because it has not been addressed in the media
(agenda advertisement).
Williams stated the primary issue he wanted Council to discuss
was the modification of the agreement with the Visitors Center
with regard to the electricity and water. The second issue of
whether or not the project should happen rightfully belongs with
the Center. However, the Center requested Council make that
decision. If the decision is left to the Center, they can
approve the proposal without a RFP. If the City makes the
decision, a RFP will be required. If Council wants to, they
could say to the Center by modifying the agreement with them, the
Council gives quasi -approval to the espresso business.
Williams commented in regard to the Council's and City's
involvement in private enterprise Kenai is a home -rule, first-
class city and has the use of powers that exceed most other
cities and local governments. The City is in public/private
business with the dock facilities, the airport and the Dairy
Queen. Williams added this proposal would be in line with the
City 's involvement to enhance tourism.
Swarner stated she was concerned the discussion item was not
advertised at "Persons Scheduled to be Heard" in order that the
public would know what would be discussed. Swarner stated she
did not like to act on items like this without public knowledge
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
MAY 4, 1994
PAGE 9
and without backup information to review prior to the discussion.
Swarner stated she had a problem with how the matter was
presented.
Williams stated Tomrdle has offered to pay for water and
electricity. Williams commented he believed that question is
moot. Williams stated Council should decide whether this type of
project is good and whether it is something the City should have.
Bannock commented he agreed with Smalley. He has seen the boat
and is incredibly impressed with the boat and it is a fantastic
project. Also, this is exactly what Planning & Zoning wanted to
see in Old Town, i.e. restoration, old Kenai things and in good
standing order. Believes this is a positive situation for all
involved. Bannock asked who pays the electric bill for the
Center. Answer the City does. Bannock suggested Council approve
the project and Administration, Tomrdle or Jefferson work out the
details as to charging for the utilities (actual use or flat
rate). This is a win/win situation.
Bookey stated he agreed to a point. He has seen the boat. It is
a terrific asset. Bookey would like to see the venture done in
the private sector, not public.
Monfor stated she did not think Council should be voting on the
matter. It is the Center Board's decision. If Council makes the
decision, then the City should take back the management of the
Center. Monfor added she did not think Council approved the
placing of the K-14 boat at the Center. The City gives the
$75,000 to the Visitor Board to manage the Center. The Council
does not manage it.
Smalley agreed and suggested the Board needs to make the
decision. Smalley suggested Council make a recommendation to
remand the matter back to the Board for their decision. Smalley
asked Graves if the City made the decision, would it not have to
do an RFP. Graves stated in his and Manninen's initial
discussions, they felt if the Board did it, they would not be
required to have an RFP. If Council made the decision, an RFP
would have to be required. Their decision agreed with Monfor's
comments -- it is the Board's decision. They manage the Center.
Manninen stated if Council approves of the proposal, it is
granting an exclusive concessionaire right and where would they
stop.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
MAY 4, 1994
PAGE 10
Measles stated Council has made no decisions as to what goes in
the building or employees, etc. Council should not get involved
into this area so that it will not go into a political display
area. The reason the board was formed was to keep it separate
from politics and thinks it should stay that way. Any decision,
not even a recommendation should be made by Council. Council
should direct Jefferson/Tomrdle to deal with the Board and the
discussion should be dropped from Council's table.
Measles asked whether a conditional use permit would be required
to run the business. Graves stated he did not think they would
require one. He will check the zone. Smalley stated he believed
that area is in the General Commercial zone and would not require
one. Graves will check.
Bannock asked if there was a question as to whether or not the
Board has the ability to approve the proposal. Bannock stated he
agreed Council should not be micro -managing the Center, but do
they have the ability to approve the project. Graves stated his
and Manninen's feels were they have the authority to approve the
concession. They are on a management agreement which allows a
cancellation with a thirty -day notice. The agreement Jefferson
is proposing says if the City takes management away from the
Board, their agreement with this entity ceases also. If the
City's agreement with the Visitor Center ends, the agreement with
the concession would terminate. Jefferson agreed.
Monfor stated she believed the approval of this type should be
with the Visitors Center. Jefferson clarified that he attended
the Center's Board of Directors meeting. They were not asking
the Council look at this specific project and say yes or no. The
Board was asking if the City would take a position of whether or
not it was an appropriate function and/or if the Council objected
to the Board allowing a concession permit. Not necessarily this
concession permit.
Fred Braun - President, Kenai Visitors Center Board of Directors.
Braun stated the Board has not met in full. The meeting held was
an executive board meeting of only three board members. The full
board needs to be aware of the matter. Their purpose of
discussion with Council tonight was to gather information to take
back to their Board. Braun added it would have been nice to have
some action taken, but it was evident no one was in the position
at this time to make that decision. At this point, everyone
agrees it is a beautiful boat and it is a great idea and concept.
Today he felt if it was free coffee, there would be no problem.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
MAY 4, 1994
PAGE 11
However, it is not that way. Braun stated he will call a special
meeting of the Visitor Center Board and discuss with them what
transpired at this council meeting.
Williams asked if it would be appropriate for the Council to take
a position of saying they feel the Board of Directors of the
Visitors and Convention Bureau has every right to make a decision
with regard to concessionaires for the use of that facility.
Monfor stated yes.
Measles stated he has always felt the Board had the ability to do
what they needed to do over there within the bounds of the law.
Measles stated he felt the Board should deal with the matter
because they are the group that will have to deal with another
person who may have a refurbished historical mining train from
which he wants to sell T-shirts, etc. Measles added he does not
want that discussion to come back to Council either.
Braun stated this project falls within the bounds of two of their
committees, i.e. retail and exhibit. Their board will meet and
discuss the matter.
ITEM C: PUBLIC HEARINGS
C-1. Resolution No. 94-23 - Recommending the City Request
the Kenai Peninsula Borough Establish the Name of
Certain Existing Streets in Black Gold Subdivision
Within the Kenai City Limits.
MOTION:
Councilman Smalley MOVED for adoption of Resolution No. 94-23 and
Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion. Councilman Smalley
requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT.
Iona Wisdom, 1501 Bluebell, Kenai. Stated she has lived in this
subdivision since 1963/64. Wisdom stated her concern that the
names of the streets were being changed. The plat has the names
on the streets. What is represented on Resolution 94-23 as Kathy
Lane is what she has known as Bluebell for many years. Wisdom
added she is the only person living in that area. Why are the
street names being changed and who are the people for whom they
are being named? Wisdom suggested a street be named for her as
she picks up garbage on the ground, etc.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
MAY 4, 1994
PAGE 12
Swarner stated she would like to know the answers to Wisdom's
questions. What is the definition for "existing" streets? Who
petitioned for name changes of the streets? Williams stated the
request to name the streets came originally from the Borough to
Kenai Planning & Zoning and then to the Council.
Swarner stated she would like the motion to be amended to say
"certain existing platted streets." Swarner added the streets
are not built to City standards and she would not accept them.
Smalley stated he would take that as a friendly amendment.
Kornelis stated the Borough informed the City there were no
streets identified and were not consistent with the Borough plan.
Williams referred to the Planning & Zoning Resolution wherein it
stated the subdivision did not presently have street names
established. Kornelis stated a resolution was brought to the
last council meeting, but was removed from the agenda due to an
incorrect statement in the Borough's definitions of lane and
drive. It was his understanding the names do not appear on the
Borough plats.
Ron Geocke - Kenai Planning & Zoning Commission Member. Stated
the information was brought to them through a request of the
Borough. The Borough stated the streets were not named.

C-5. Resolution No. 94-27 - Confirming the Assessment Roll
on the Evergreen, Haller, McKinley, North Gill, Second
Avenue, Third Avenue, Fourth Avenue, Jefferson, and
Eadies Way Paving District and Fixing Payment.
MOTION:
Councilman Measles MOVED for adoption of Resolution No. 94-27 and
Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion.
Davn Barnette - 1804 Fourth Avenue. Had questions about the
payment plan. It was explained payments will be fixed over a
five-year period, with annual payments due beginning on the last
business day of May, 1995. Payments will be delinquent if they
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
MAY 4, 1994
PAGE 14
are not paid by the last day of June of each year, etc. If a
property owner chooses to pay the entire assessment in one
payment, it may be done with interest, if received by August 5,
1994.
Barnette questioned when the first payment (over five years) is
due and when penalty and interest begins. Graves explained it as
like a deferred payment plan. Barnette asked if a five-year
payment plan was being decided at the meeting. Answer was yes.
Barnette asked who was responsible for potholes in the new
pavement. Barnette stated she had found a number of small ones.
Kornelis requested she telephone him and they will look at them.
Barnette also thanked the City for the stop sign at the corner of
her street.
Lt. Patton - Salvation Army. Requested council for a reduction
on their assessment. They are assessed at $2,364. Most of their
property is benefitted by Forest Drive. Patton also requested
council take into consideration all the services the Army
provided to the citizens of the City.
Brown explained the method of assessment is on a square foot
basis on the entire lot, including flag lots. Swarner asked if
ever assessments have been waived for a non-profit entity. Brown
stated no. Brown added the Kenai Municipal Code says all
benefitted real property may be assessed unless specifically
exempted from taxation by law. Brown stated the only kinds of
organizations of this type in his experience are BIA lands. All
other properties are assessed.
Paxton stated the Army is more than a church, it is also a social
agency and warrants considerations on this matter. Swarner
stated the City pays assessments also. Measles stated the City
cannot make adjustments to the assessment roll as it stands in
the resolution.
Brown stated the purpose of the public hearing is for people
being assessed to show errors and inequities. The Code provides
that Council may make adjustments. However, they could not
change the basis for the assessment. Changes made now would
throw all the calculations off.
Measles stated he agreed with that, but all council can do is
pass or deny Resolution 94-27. If there is a problem with an
assessment, it needs to be brought to council sitting as a Board
of Adjustment. Brown stated his impression of the Code is that
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
MAY 4, 1994
PAGE 15
if a person found an error in their property assessment, the
council could adjust that one assessment. However, to drop a
property off the roll at this point would make a major change to
the assessment district, especially when Lt. Patton had signed
the petition and stated they would pay the assessment.
Measles stated there were a number of preliminary assessment
notices sent out to property owners. If there were any problems
with square footage amounts, etc., council would have been
notified at this meeting.
Patton stated he signed the petition but did not receive any of
the notices. The notices were sent to Anchorage (owner of
record).
Bannock asked if the assessment is based on the fair market
value. Brown stated no. Bannock objected to the way the
assessments are determined (by square footage).
Marcarius Targonsky - 104 Tern Avenue. Asked if there is a
change in ownership of property, are notices sent to the new
owner. Williams stated the assessments ride with the owner of
the property. Targonsky stated he sold his property and the new
owner had not been sent any of the notices. Williams stated the
City uses the owner of record from Borough records. Targonsky
stated he thought the City checked with the recording office.
Williams explained the Borough has the only accessible record of
ownership of property. Targonsky suggested the new owner may
have been denied certain rights because he did not received
notification. Williams asked Targonsky if he sold his property
without advising the buyer of the assessments. Targonsky stated
it was a quit claim and he did not have to advise of the
assessments.
VOTE:
Bannock objected to the motion stating he did not like the way
the assessments were valued out. He did not like the formula.

No meeting.
D-6. Planning & Zoning Commission
Smalley reported a copy of the 4/27/94 action agenda was included
in the packet, as well as the minutes from the 4/13/94 meeting.
Smalley reviewed action and discussion taken at the 4/27/94
meeting:
a. Pillars Corps of Engineers Permit - Commission directed
a letter of support be forwarded, provided the operations at the
Pillars will not interfere with or lessen the value of an
existing project further down the river. Leo Oberts made a
discussed the realignment of the road. There is potential for a
subdivision in that area. The item is expected to be back to
Planning & Zoning for review before June.
b. Borough Notice of Proposed Land Classification - A
presentation was made by Borough personnel regarding the
classification of land in Shelikof Subdivision. Smalley
explained the property included two lots which are situated
behind the high school. Originally, the school district had
planned to build homes on the lots as part of their high school
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
MAY 4, 1994
PAGE 19
program. The Borough requested the properties be zoned
residential. The classification was approved, as the properties
were already zoned residential with the City of Kenai.
C. Spruce Bark Beetle Infestation - Commission reviewed
information regarding the infestation of the Spruce Bark Beetle
in the area. Commission requested the matter come before City
Council for a response.
d. Kenai Whiskers Replat - Measles questioned why this
item appeared at both the Commission meeting of the 13th and the
27th. Commissioner Geocke explained at the meeting of the 13th,
they approved a right-of-way vacation. During the meeting of the
27th, they approved the replat.
e. Code Enforcement - Smalley reported the Commission
reviewed ongoing code enforcement efforts. One issue was the
continued development of the RV park in Old Town. The building
being built is larger than the design originally submitted.
Smalley recommended to the Commission they be consistent with the
past practice when changes have been made with regard to
permitting and filing of site plans. Smalley added, according to
City Engineer La Shot, the difference in plans will come under
the old Townsite Historic Zone rules of enforcement because the
project began with those rules. The persons doing the
construction will have to resubmit the building permit and pay
the difference.
Bookey asked if the change was an increase of square footage or a
miscalculation of construction. Commissioner Geocke explained
the size of the building being built is larger than the original
plan presented. Smalley added the City is working with the
individuals and using the old ordinance for the ruling.
Monfor asked why the City is not placing a stop action on the
construction until a new plan is submitted. This has been done
in the past. Williams stated he believed a direct affront to the
City.
Kornelis passed around a letter sent to the owners who are
building the structure (Vozar). The letter addresses the problem
with the size of the building and the site plans and requests a
new design be submitted for Planning & Zoning's approval.
Williams recognized the construction of the building being
started under the old zone rules and now with new code and a
larger building as a testy situation. Measles agreed. Swarner
asked if a stop order is sent if a person is building a building
which is not the same as the design submitted. Graves stated
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
MAY 4, 1994
PAGE 20
other municipalities have issued stop orders, however he did not
have knowledge of that happening in Kenai. Other municipalities
have refused to issue occupancy permits.
Swarner asked what is required to have happening in order that a
stop order is issued. Kornelis answered if there is something
against the building code being done. This issue is more about
planning than zoning. There is nothing against the code as far
as the size of the building, but what was permitted in that zone
by the Commission. Swarner remembered Council stopping action on
the bowling alley.
Measles stated the original plans were submitted under the old
code. The building construction was started under the old code.
If they come back with revised plans for a building 50% larger,
it should be ruled under the new code. Graves stated that is an
issue. Graves added he thought La Shot felt since they started
building under the old code and they initially brought the plans
in under the old code, the revisions should be under the old
code. Graves suggested they could investigate that further.
Measles asked if anybody over there can now submit plans to
expand their building outside the new code because it was built
under the old code. Graves did not think so. A permit was
issued under the old code. Measles stated the owner is not
building what was permitted. Swarner stated she thought the
building was started after the new code was in effect. The RV
park was started under the old code, but the building was later.
Bannock stated the plans for the building were submitted with the
old code. Measles stated the building was not oversized in the
plans, but the actual building is. Williams stated the building
became oversized after the new code was in effect.
Bannock stated he wanted to be careful using the 50% figure
because he saw the plans and did not think it was 50% larger.
However, Council should review their actions. The plans were
approved through the Planning & Zoning Department. If the
building is larger, does not the City have an obligation or have
a time this would have been caught earlier at the staking point.
Some fingers of blame should be pointed at the City if the City
enforces the regulations, they should be policing them also. How
did it get 75% constructed and the variation found now. It was
his understanding the City was trying to stop oversights before
they happen.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
MAY 4, 1994
PAGE 21
Smalley stated he did not know if the building was off 50%. It
is larger than permitted, however.
Bob Springer - Building Official. The plans were submitted in
September or October last year. At that time, the building
permit was issued on the basis of what was submitted. There was
an inspection done at that time, and at that time the size
difference should have been caught. Springer was unaware of why
it was not caught as he was not the building inspector then.
They recently received a site plan for the building and at that
time it was noticed there was a discrepancy in the size of the
building. Springer suggested a rough figure of 20% larger. La
Shot wrote the letter to Vozars regarding those discrepancies.
Springer was unaware if the letter was mailed yet. Springer
notified Mrs. Vozar they needed to upgrade the site plans
originally submitted to a set that was acceptable to him. If
something was not received within a short period of time, a stop
work order would be placed on the project.
Williams stated his concern with regard to encroachments stated
in the La Shot letter. Williams stated he hoped the City would
follow up with those concerns. Kornelis stated he understood the
encroachment problems were being worked out with adjacent
property owners. Swarner stated she did not think so.
Measles stated those problems will come back to the council at a
future time when the property owners are different. That is not
acceptable. Council has discussed that same problem many, many
times. The encroachments have to stopped before they are put in.
Letting property owners work them out delays the problem and
brings it back to Council later on.
Kornelis stated he understood the Vozars placed a drainage ditch
on someone else's property. That did not have anything to do
with the City of Kenai. There was no permit issued for them to
do that. Williams read from the letter..."it appears you have
obstructed an entrance, drainage ditches and culverts and
possibly underground utilities which could or do infringe upon
property owned by others. It is your responsibility to remove or -
make other arrangements to deal with any encroachment caused by
you including the drainage rerouted from Mission Avenue to the
Inlet."
Williams stated they have done a whole lot of things in an
"around -about" manner that someone will have to answer to in the
future. Kornelis stated Public Works is asking them to take care
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
MAY 4, 1994
PAGE 22
of those problems. Kornelis added it appeared to them Vozars
were doing something they should not be doing. Doing something
on somebody else's property.
Measles stated his concern. Neighbors might verbally agree to
something, but later when there are other owners, the problem
comes back. Kornelis asked what solution Measles thought was
needed. Measles suggested they either get off the property on
which they are encroaching or buy that property. Measles added
the City should have some way to enforce it to make sure it is
done.
Swarner stated she understood the Public Works Department gave
their okay to move the drainage ditch. Kornelis stated that was
not correct. Kornelis added they were not involved. Swarner
asked who gave them permission to move it. Swarner added they
came with plans to the City. Kornelis stated he would have to
check with La Shot but La Shot was surprised they moved it.
Kornelis added the City was not involved with the drainage ditch
at all. Swarner disputed that statement and stated Clyde was
supervising the move. Bookey stated he understood La Shot had
approved the move of the sewer/water lines off the Vozar
property. Kornelis stated he did not know. In the drawings he
saw it appeared the drainage ditch was the only thing to be
moved. Not water and sewer. Kornelis stated La Shot had a
survey done. In La Shot's letter, he is speaking about drainage
ditches, entrance, culverts and possibly underground sewer. They
don't know about the sewer. The sewer there is a service point.
Williams suggested Administration investigate the problem as soon
as possible. Monfor suggested until everything is up to par with
what the City feels it should be, the construction of the project
should be stopped. This should be done for any building
construction within the City.
Springer stated Vozars have been given 30 days in which to
correct the problems, etc. The 30 days will start from their
receipt of the letter. The letter had not yet been mailed.
Williams stated it appeared to him immediate steps need to be
taken to determine whether there are violations of any existing
codes or ordinances, including the new Townsite Historic
ordinances. Thinks some investigation needs to be done to
determine whether encroachments are incurring that involves City
utilities, public drainage and culverts. If there are
encroachments, something should be done. There is an easement
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
MAY 4, 1994
PAGE 23
through that area for a public drainage and therefore it makes
the responsibility of the City that things are correct in that
general area.
Kornelis stated the letter does instruct Vozar that if there are
encroachments, etc., it is their responsibility and at their
expense to correct the problems. Williams added he believed it
is important for the City to check the correctness of its
statements. Kornelis stated they had a survey done. That's what
took so long as they were waiting on the receipt of the survey
for review. Kornelis stated he was not aware of who did the
survey. Swarner stated there was a survey done and it was not
done correctly.
Williams requested Administration report back to Council at the
May 18, 1994 meeting as to their findings in regard to the
location of utilities and other possible encroachments of
properties other than those owned by the builder.
Swarner suggested the City should be ready to do stop orders on
construction, whether it is this project or others, if the
project is not in compliance. The City should not be afraid to
do that.
D-7. Miscellaneous Commissions and Committees
a. Beautification - Will be meeting on Tuesday, May 10.
Planning & Zoning Commissioner Geocke stated his wife has not
been able to attend any Beautification Committee meetings due to
responsibilities of her job. Mrs. Geocke is in the process of
writing a letter of resignation. Geocke added the packet for the
last scheduled meeting was not received until the evening of the
meeting.
Williams accepted the resignation but invited Mrs. Geocke to be
involved with the beautification work when she was able.
b. Russia Exchange Committee - Williams reported the
exchange preliminary work was moving along. They had good
response from Senator Stevens' office in regard to visa work
needing to be completed. The trip has been scheduled for June 7-
14. The Russian group are scheduled to come to Kenai in late
June.

ITEM I: ADMINISTRATION REPORTS
I-1. Mayor
a. Nickel Latter/SB377 - Williams referred to the letter
distributed and added at the beginning of the meeting. There was
no action taken.
b. Bluff Erosion - Suggested Council direct Administration
to begin new dialogue with the Corps of Engineers for a scoping
study leading to some type of action for prevention of bluff
erosion. Determine whether something can be done. There was no
discussion or objection from Council.
C. New Shop Building - Williams stated there may be no
discretionary funds from the legislature in the future. Williams
suggested Council consider the advancing of monies, provided
there are roll-over funds sufficient to cover the cost at the end
of the fiscal year, for complete schematic plans to build a new
City shop. Williams estimated the cost of a new building to be
$2 million. Williams suggested 20% of the cost could be taken
from AIP funds. Williams explained the present shop building is
30 years old and requires a lot of repair. More space is
required for the larger equipment now on line, etc. Williams
suggested a bond be brought to the citizens. A new building
needs to be addressed in the next two to three years.
Swarner stated she did not disagree with needing a new building,
but does not want to do schematics. Swarner was not willing to
spend the money at this time. Monfor asked if plans could be
done in-house with the new equipment purchased in the Public
Works Department.
Smalley asked for comment from Manninen. Manninen stated he was
surprised by the suggestion as he had not heard anything about it
until now. Manninen stated he did not think it was time to do
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
MAY 4, 1994
PAGE 27
such a project in this budget. It is not time, not without
knowing what money might be received from the state, etc.
Williams stated he did not have a chance to review the project
with Manninen.
Measles stated he agreed with Williams as far as need, but did
not think such a plan has much chance of happening in the near
future. The HEA settlement has been completed, but there are
other issues that are not known at this time, i.e. Clean Water
Act, etc. Measles added they would have a real tough time
convincing voters to spend $3 million on a new shop building.
Thompson Park - Williams suggested there is a possibility
there will be approximately $750,000-$800,000 left for the
development of wellhouses, etc. That money could be reallocated
for funding of the wellhouses, etc.
Bookey stated he did not disagree with Williams, but asked where
a new building would be placed. Williams stated he had not
thought about it. Manninen suggested butting one side of the
building up to the airport and the other to Willow. It may help
to qualify for AIP money.
Measles suggested having Administration develop a long-range plan
for more than just the shop. Do a study on all the City's needs.
Get recommendations of proposed projects. Identify projects and
identify plans, i.e. streets, water/sewer, buildings, etc.
Kornelis stated they could do a floor plan and cost estimate with
their computers. Measles suggested not much engineering will be
needed to develop plans for an 80x200 ft. building. Information
can be forwarded to a steel building manufacturer and they will
do estimates.
Williams requested to bring this discussion back to Council
sometime after July 1. Swarner suggested Council be informed of
needs to be done and what the City's capabilities are to do the
plans, etc.
1-2. City Manager
a. Bluff Study - Will investigate.
b. Contaminated Soils - Manninen reported he has received

ITEM J: DISCUSSION
J-1. Citizens
a. Gus Rodes - 207 Birch Street. Stated he had a problem
with the bureaucratic system of the City. Rodes explained he
received an arrest warrant to appear for arraignment regarding
junk cars, etc. on his property. Rodes stated he did not
understand the problem. He wrote a letter and requested
information from the City Attorney and received a letter back
stating he (city attorney) did not go on the property. The
letter included pictures of junk cars, etc. The pictures were no
good and he was unable to determine what or whose they were.
Rodes received an affidavit from La Shot. Rodes did not
understand La Shot's authority to issue the affidavit. He wrote
a letter to La Shot requesting information of what cars, etc.
Rodes felt there is no law, etc. and the City won't say what he
has to do to bring his property up to code. Rodes requested
Council direct whoever is responsible to provide him information
as to what is needed to conform to the law. Council/Rodes
reviewed pictures provided by Rodes and Attorney Graves.
There were no questions or actions from Council.

Councilman Smalley reported during the executive session Council
discussed litigation between the City and Gaston & Associates.
Direction was given to the City Attorney and Administration to
proceed.
Also discussed were budget items concerning the amendments to the
forthcoming budget regarding salaries of the City Attorney, City
Manager, and City Clerk.
Williams asked if amounts would be made public at this time.
Smalley stated they would probably be on the amendments which
have not been prepared yet. Graves stated the number could be
given to Finance Director Brown and amended at the next meeting.
J-2. Council
Bookey - a. Tent Camping - Needs to be addressed. The
Visitors Center has already had people asking about tent camping
availability. Monfor asked if Council didn't direct Parks &
Recreation to have something ready by June 1 at the budget
meeting. Freas stated yes. Parks & Recreation Administrative
Assistant Frates stated it was his understanding there were to be
at least six sites ready. Bookey asked if the development of the
sites has been planned. Frates stated he has not been informed
of any. Bookey stated he just wanted a site chosen and work
started.
Manninen stated staff was working on it. Suggested areas are
across from HEA (behind the dust bowl) developing some lots or
along Marathon Road. Manninen stated there will be some ready by
June 1.
Frates asked if there was to be campground hosts. Monfor stated
they just want a campground at this time. Manninen stated they
have not discussed campground hosts at this time. Smalley stated
they had discussed charging a higher fee.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
MAY 4, 1994
PAGE 31
Freas stated she had just finished the notes from the second
goals and objectives session. Freas reported Council had decided
there would not be enough income from the tent spaces to pay
hosts. It was suggested someone from the Parks crew could police
the area and collect fees, etc. twice a day.
Swarner asked about Municipal Park to be used for tent camping.
Manninen answered no. Swarner stated that area already has
roads, sites, etc. Williams stated the same issue comes back for
that area, i.e. they don't want tent camping in there because
then it will be used by cannery workers as a camping area.
Bookey stated that could be controlled.
Williams stated as long as the neighboring properties don't want
tent camping in that park, they aren't going to allow it.
Swarner stated now there are parties in Municipal Park. Trash
accumulates when there is no overnight camping. Williams stated
if overnight camping is allowed there, the park gets trashier and
the neighbors get hostile. The park needs to be kept cleaned up.
Monfor stated she understood there would be off-street parking
because of the Big Toy, and more picnic tables available for
picnicking on the bluff and be used as a day park for families.
Smalley agreed it would be for day -use only.
Bannock stated that was a wonderful plan, but still did not
address the tent camping problem. If another tent camping area
is developed somewhere else and it is treated like the Municipal
Park, it will be the same problem in another part of town. The
key is not the location, but the management, regulation and
enforcement of it. Bookey stated that is where the City lacks
and that is why there has been trouble at Municipal Park, i.e.
because of a lack of regulation and management, not the site.
Monfor stated the proposed new site will get the camping area out
of a residential area.
Swarner - a. 5/18/94 Meeting - Will not be in attendance
at the next meeting.
b. Visitors Center - Noticed at the Volunteer Reception at
the Visitors Center, there was a heating problem. Williams asked
Kornelis if the chart recorder has been purchased as was
requested. Kornelis stated they have received information on
them. Kornelis discussed the heating/circulation of the Center.
C. Daubenspeck Property - Noticed a lot of garbage in that
area left from last year's campers. Bookey stated if the area

PAGE 32
has not been approved as a camping space by the City Manager, no
one should be camping there anyway.
d. Car Crusher - EDD has reported a car crusher will be
here June 1.
e. Relocation Permit - Asked if the City requires a permit
to change a drainage ditch. If not, it should start.
Monfor - a. Asked if Administration could identify lots the
City does own in Old Town and maybe mow them. Referring to the
"Save Old Town" meeting, Monfor stated she did not necessarily
disagree with the fact that if the City mows their lots, the
adjoining property owners may take more pride in their property.
Williams thought it would be a good idea. Williams stated he
would like to have a place in Old Town onto which the old
machinery can be placed. Monfor suggested some benches be placed
in the Old Town area as well.
Williams stated he would still like to see a metal building
placed in Old Town in which to house the machinery. Bannock and
Smalley stated a metal building is not allowed in Old Town.
Monfor asked if the properties could be identified and reported
back to Council for the next meeting. Freas and Graves suggested
Kim Howard could review it.
Measles - No report.
Bannock - Reported he has attended several of the "Save Old
Town" meetings. If the City owns property over there, this is a
unique opportunity to lead by example.
Smalley - a. Lawton Drive - Requested "no parking" signs be
placed on one side of Lawton Drive. Many cars parking on both
sides of the street and are causing a hazard.
b. Thompson Park Sever Line Road - Walked on the road.
Suggested in the future the road be made into a bike path and
perhaps place a walking bridge over Beaver Creek.
Williams - Asked Frates what the progress was on the upgrade
of the ballfield. Frates stated he has not been informed.

M$MORAM UM
TO: City Council
FROM: Charles A. Brown, Finance Director
C'M
DATE: May 9, 1994
SUBJECT: Assessment Petition, Basin View Paving
The City Clerk has received a petition from property owners to
pave Dolchok Lane (from Beaver Loop to Basin View Drive), Cub
Court, and Kim-N-Ang Court. There are 36 lots involved. The
petition is signed by owners of 18 lots, the minimum required
under the Code.
The next step in the assessment formation process is for the
City Manager to deliver a survey and report to the City
Council. The City Manager has expressed a direct conflict of
interest in this matter and has delegated the survey and
report responsibility to me.
Scope of Improvements
The scope of the improvements should be strip paving on the
above -referenced streets. Incidental improvements, such as
culvert replacement and road base preparation, would also be
included.
Estimated Cost: $242,028.
Prospective Grants: None.
The General Fund would finance the project.
Recommended Percentage to be Assessed
The petition asks that 25% of the costs be assessed. This
agrees with the proposed rate set out in Resolution No. 92-26,
and is the rate that I recommend using if the district is
formed.
Memorandum
City Council
May 9, 1994
Page Two
Allocation of Costs
In a letter to property owners, which apparently accompanied
the petition, a suggestion was made that the assessed cost be
divided equally among all properties, rather than using the
usual square footage method.
Total Cost Estimate $ 242,028
General Taxpayer Cost, 75% <181.512>
Assessed Cost, 25% 60,516*
Number of Lots j 36
Assessed Per Lot S 1.681
Unfortunately, this allocation method was not included on the
petition, so there is no way for me to know if the property
owners support this method. Council will have to take
specific action to use any method other than the square
footage method (KMC 16.05.100).
Definition of District: See legal descriptions on the
attached "Draft --Sample Roll".
Need
Dolchok Lane is essentially a rural dirt and gravel road in
good condition. Its primary use is by residents. It appears
to me that through -traffic is limited; the Lane is not a
direct route to other well -populated subdivisions.
Of the 36 lots, 21 have dwellings. The City's taxpayers would
pay approximately $181,512 (the 75% not assessed).
Taxpayer cost per lot (181,512/36) $5,042
Taxpayer cost per house (181,512/21) $8,643
This project would pave approximately 3,800 linear feet at a
cost of $242,028. By contrast, the City just paved
*Rounded, see "Draft --Sample Roll"
Memorandum
City Council
May 9, 1994
Page Three
approximately 18,000 linear feet in the Evergreen/Haller area
at a cost of $461,270. Therefore, this project would pave
just 21% of the amount of roads that were paved in the
Evergreen/Haller area at 52% of the cost. Put another way,
estimated costs per linear foot are:
Evergreen/Haller, cost per L.F. $26
Basin view, cost per L.F. $64
Need must be a function of value and economics. Need is a
matter of opinion and degree. I ask myself a simple question:
Would the City pave Dolchok Lane at this time, at a cost of
$181,512 (the unassessed portion) had there been no petition?
The answer to this question isolates the issue of need or
priority. It removes from the decision -making process the
pressure to construct a project based solely upon the receipt
of a petition and a pledge of property owners to pay a small
share of the project costs. I have heard no City official or
Councilmember place a high priority on this project.
Considering the cost, lack of grant financing, the development
of the area, the use of the roads, and my perception of this
project's priority, I place the need for this paving project
at a low level.
That concludes this survey and report. Council should give
the Administration direction regarding continuing with a
preliminary assessment roll, setting of a public hearing, and
advertising. If Council desires to continue, remember that we
need direction concerning any allocation method other than the
square footage method.

RESOLUTION NO. 92-26
A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA ESTABLISHING
A GENERAL POLICY REGARDING COSTS TO BE ASSESSED TO BENEFITED
PROPERTIES IN SPECIAL ASSESSMENT DISTRICTS.
WHEREAS, by KMC 16.10.070, the City Council has the authority to
determine the percentage of costs to be assessed in special assessment
districts; and .
WHEREAS, reduced State financing for public improvement projects makes
it necessary that more costs be assessed to benefited properties; and
WHEREAS, citizens desiring to form assessment districts have a need to
know in advance of the petitioning process the portion of the project
that is likely to be assessed.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI,
ALASKA, that:
Section 1: The policy of the City Council regarding percentages of
costs to be assessed in special assessment districts —is a general
rule. It is -meant to inform the City administration and citizens of a
usual rule to be followed, and it applies to all types of
improvements. The Council reserves the right -to apply percentages
different from those that follow based upon unique characteristics of
each project. It is not implied that the Council must form an
assessment district with each project. The policy is subject to all
State, City Charter, and City Municipal Code requirements and
restrictions. -
Section 2: In developed areas that include numerous property
owners, each benefiting somewhat equally, the assessment rate will be
25% of all eligible costs. The Council intends that all eligible
costs include the entire project costs defined by KMC 16.05.090.
Section 3: In partially developed or undeveloped areas that
include one or a small number of property owners, the assessment rate
will be 100% of all eligible costs. This is the rate that will apply
in situations where the owner or owners are essentially acting as
developers, with the intent of marketing and profiting from the
developed land. The owners may have to waive the limitations placed
on assessments, as provided by KMC 16.05.010(b) and Section 7-3 of the
City Charter. In addition, the City may require cash or other assets
to be advanced or pledged to the City as security that the assessments
will be paid. Generally, the unsecured portion of the assessments
should not exceed 30% of the cost of the improvements. The City may
require that the owner or owners enter into a contractual relationship
with the City to ensure payment of the assessments.

SUBJECT: Old Playground Equipment
!!!!fR!!♦f f!f t!f!f!lffff!!f!!R!f!!f!!f!f!!!ff f!f!lRff!!!R!!!!!f ff!!f!!!!!Rf Rf 1
Two years ago the Parks Department began the renovation of Municipal Park. Some
old playground equipment was removed at that time. A request was received from the
Twin Cities Raceways asking if that old equipment could be put to use by the
organization at the track area. They would install and renovate it themselves.
Permission was granted by the former City Manager but since they did not get it
installed last year I felt it should be addressed again.
After discussion with Mr. Manninen it was determined that the issue should come to
Council as to whether it could be donated or should go to auction. What are the
Council's wishes at this time?

Dear Mayor Williams and Members of Council
At the last regular meeting of our Board of Directors, discussion was held relative to the
availability of tent camping facilities within the City of Kenai.
As we approach the summer visitor season, it seemed appropriate to inquire as to the status of
the tent camping park project. If we may supply statistics, etc. to assist in the decision making
process, we shall be happy to do so.
Please advise if a tent camping location will be designated within the City of Kenai for the 1994
visitor season so that we might pass on the information to our visitor center staff.
Thank youl
Sincerely,
Fred F. Braun, President

Re: Kenai Airport Gates Project
Change Order No. 1
Keith,
The attached change order is for the purpose of deleting bid items 15.20(15) and
15.20(15E), corrugated metal pipe culverts and end sections. This change order is also
extending the time period for this project.
The culvert pipe was not needed for this project since the ditch line where it was planned to
go was in fact a daylight ditch, and it was only a few inches deep where the culvert was to
go. The Contractor graded a drainage Swale around the end of the gate foundation pad to
provide a path for the limited amount of drainage at this location.
Final completion of this project has been delayed for several months. This is due to the
untimely delivery of the gates and associated appurtenances by the Contractor's supplier.
This delay in the delivery time appears to have been beyond the control of Jahrig Electric,
the Contractor. The order for the materials was placed by the Contractor in a timely
fashion, after the award of the contract. In addition, the supplier from which the Contractor
ordered the gate materials, was apparently the only supplier in the United States which had a
product that met the specifications for this project.
The Contractor has provided the City with a finished product which meets the specifications.
We believe the time delay was beyond his control. We recommend that the City not assess
liquidated damages for the delay, and approve the additional time requested by Change
Order No. 1.
If there are any questions, please feel free to call.
Sincerely,
C"IeL-
Oran Woolley

RE: CITY OF KENAI'S MAINTENANCE PROBLEMS WITH FOREST DRIVE,
SPUR HIGHWAY TO REDOUBT AVENUE, AND REDOUBT AVENUE; CITY'S
WILLINGNESS TO TARE OVER STREET MAINTENANCE IF UPGRADE IS DONE
Dear Representative Navarre and Senator Salo:
As discussed in our telephone conversation, the City of Kenai is in
dire need of the State upgrading of Forest Drive, from the Spur
Highway to Redoubt Avenue, and Redoubt Avenue.
As you know, the State's original construction of the Forest Drive
and Redoubt Avenue areas was grossly inadequate. Regularly,
seasonal frost heaves and treacherous driving conditions are caused
by the inadequate road base work. Compounding the original
inadequate road base problem is the utility road base. When
utilities were installed, they were placed in a sand and gravel
road base, creating an unsafe undulating, frost -heaving road
condition during the Spring.
Additionally, Forest Drive, from the Spur Highway to Redoubt
Avenue, and Redoubt Avenue need curb and gutter installation,
sidewalk/bike-path upgrade/reconstruction and adequate drainage in
order to meet acceptable standards, along with the base upgrade
work.
As I have indicated, the City would be willing to take over
maintenance of this project, after the State brings it up to the
City's specified engineering construction standards for the road
base and overlay, curb and gutter, sidewalk/bike-path and drainage.
Although I do not have the sole authority to grant this, I would
recommend this action be ratified by the City Council at their next
regular Council meeting, or if acceptable, it could be made as a
condition of the grant award. Your choice! However, based on the
Mayor and City Council's concern over the poor condition of Forest
Drive and Redoubt Avenue, I am certain that they would pass any
required resolutions to have the- City of Kenai take over
maintenance of the area, once the project is completed by the
State, per the State of Alaska/Federal Spending that you are
requesting authorizing for the City of Kenai.
Once again, thank you for your assistance to Kenai. I am looking
forward to continuing to work with you to upgrade this project and
other areas. I am also looking forward to meeting with you
tomorrow or Saturday in Juneau.
CITY OF KENAI
Very truly yours,
Thomas J. Manninen

MEMORANDUM
TO: Tom Manninen, City Manager
FROM: Keith Komelis, Public Works Director
DATE: May 5, 1994
SUBJECT: Area Project Descriptions and Justifications- ISTEA
According to your request I have written up the following project description and
justifications.
FOREST DRIVE
Project Description
This project will reconstruct Forest Drive from the Spur Highway north 1.0
mile to Redoubt Drive. The existing rural ditch and culvert, strip paved
section will be replaced with underground storm drainage, curb and gutter,
sidewalk, and a new bike/recreation path.
Project Justification
Due to underlying frost -susceptible materials, Forest Drive experiences
severe frost heaving. The large bumps and pavement fractures create an
unsafe situation in this rapidly growing residential area which also serves
an existing grade school and is being planned for another. The open ditch
drainage system is inadequate to accommodate local runoff and side street
drainage. Also, the existing sidewalk/bike path is heavily damaged and
hazardous for walking, running, and biking.

Please note that Redoubt Avenue was added to the Forest Drive project request. These
two roads form a loop off of the Kenai Spur Highway (previously called Homesite Loop).
The city also reconfirms that it will take over the maintenance of this loop from the state
if it is properly upgraded with the excavation of FSM, improved drainage, curbs and
gutters, and replaced sidewalks and bike paths. The road presently has huge dips from
the frost heaves. It actually needs immediate attention.
Also note that Unity Trail is from Kenai to Soldotna (not Sterling as in previous
document).
I have not listed the Fort Kenay Mission Street Improvements, nor the Kenai Spur Road,
since these projects are presently approved and under way.
Thank you for asking for our input. We have other projects that are needed but the
above are the most important of the state related projects.

SUBJECT_ Proposal
Soil Remediation and Assessments Services
Kenai Courthouse
Kenai, Alaska
INTRODUCTION
Glacier Environmental Services (GES) is pleased to present this proposal for soil remediation
and assessments services for an area located at the northeast portion of the Kenai Courthouse
site, Kenai, Alaska. We have prepared this proposal at the request of Mr. Jack LaShot. This
proposal is based on our current knowledge of site conditions, the City of Kenai objectives and
our experience with similar projects.
We understand that the project site is surround with chain -link fencing. Trees, shrubs and engine
blocks are present on a portion of the site. Dark hydrocarbon stained areas of soil are visible on
the surface of the site.
SCOPE OF WORK
The purpose of our remediation and assessment services is to excavate, stockpile and document
the removal of petroleum contaminated soil at the site. GES will subcontract the services of
GeoEngineers, Inc. of Anchorage Alaska to conduct sampling and assessment.
GeoEngineers has a Standard Quality Assurance Plan on file with the Alaska Department of
Environmental Conservation (ADEC). Their services on this scope of work will be in conjunction
with sampling of the soil treatment area as defined in section 6 of the Courthouse Site Workplan.
All work will be conducted in accordance with the ADEC guidance document Interim Guidance
for Non -UST Sod Cleanup Levels dated July 17, 1991.
Our proposed scope of services is outline below.
1. Obtain necessary approval from ADEC and City of Kenai.
2. Clear and dispose of trees, vegetation and debris from the area. Disposal of engine
parts will be the responsibility of others.
3. Excavate and stockpile petroleum contaminated soil from the site using a rubber -tired
backhoe.
4. Place on and cover the stockpiles with a plastic liner.

RE: KENAI PENINSULA BOROUGH ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT, INC.
FY-94195 BUDGET
LETTER OF SUPPORT
The City of Kenai supports the ongoing efforts of the Kenai
Peninsula Economic Development District, Inc. (EDD) and urges the
Kenai Borough Assembly to fund their operating budget for the
coming fiscal year.
In the past, the City of Kenai benefitted from EDD's successful
efforts to acquire an EDA grant for the construction of the Kenai
Visitors Center. Today, final plans are being formulated to
conduct a democratization program with our Sister -City, Okha,
Sakhalin Island, Russia. EDD pursued and received grant funding
to absorb much of the costs related to this endeavor.
Other EDD benefits to the City of Kenai and our citizens are:
• collecting and compiling demographic information used to
attract new businesses to the Kenai area;
• pursuing grants and aiding in the application of grants for
local businesses;
• economic development planning for the Kenai Peninsula
Borough;
• conducting workshops and counseling to enhance smaller
businesses; and,
• promoting tourism.
The Kenai Peninsula Economic Development District, Inc. has been
and continues to be an important ingredient to the City of Kenai
and the Kenai Peninsula Borough's economic future. We support
and applaud their efforts.

TO: Mayor John Williams
Kenai City Council
FROM: Loretta Harvey, Administrative Assistea*f,
SUBJECT: RE -REVIEW DEVELOPMENT IN TSH ZONE
BELUGA LOOKOUT RV PARK
At their meeting of May 11 the Planning and Zoning Commission held the above
referenced re -review. The re -review had been scheduled at the previous P&Z meeting,
when it was discovered that the project had increased substantially in size from the
original plans. There had also been an addition of a wooden carving/structure which
would need to be included in the permit. Due to the increased area of the project the
building permit must be revised. Since the initial permit was reviewed under the old
TSH guidelines the City Attorney and City Engineer concurred that the amended
permit should also be reviewed under the same guidelines.
The Commission reviewed the project and determined that the footprint of the building
had not been changed. The structural changes were consistent with the building as
originally presented. The Commission approved the amendment to the building
permit, including the whale structure.

FROM: Loretta Harvey, Administrative Assistant
SUBJECT: STREET NAMES BLACK GOLD S/D
ifff ff f!f!!!f!!f f fff f!f!!!!!f!!!!!ff!!!f!f!f f!•!f!f!!!!!f!!!f!!f!!!!!!!f!!!!ff
I understand that concerns regarding the above referenced subdivision were
expressed at the Council meeting of May 4. Some of those concerns were:
1: What, who, or why was the request for street naming brought up?
On approximately March 28, a real estate agent called me to obtain addresses for
several lots in Black Gold S/D. When I went to look up the addresses in the City of
Kenai Map Index 1990, 1 discovered there were street numbers but no names. I told
the agent I would have to get back to her, because we may have to assign street
names in order to give her the correct address. She said a street number was
adequate, since there was only an offer on the lots, when the sale was finalized she
would contact the City regarding the street name. She asked if the street could be
named "Nancy" after the client who was interested in purchasing several of the lots.
said I did not feel that would be a problem if a street name did not already exist.
After that discussion I began researching street names in the subdivision. Besides no
listing in the Kenai Map Index 1990, there were no listings in the "City of Kenai Alaska
Area Atlas" produced by Alaska Mapping Systems (Tom Luzny), or on the original plat
which was filed in 1986. 1 then contacted Jane Gabler at the Borough to see what
street names they had and they had no listed names for Black Gold Subdivision. I
spoke to Jack about this and he said to assign street names and bring them before
the Planning and Zoning Commission.
2. Were there names for these streets at time of platting? If no, why not? Have
these streets ever had names?
It appears these streets were never officially named, except possibly Alpine. I
checked with Jane Gabler and Robbie Harris of the KPB Planning Department and
their base map does not list names, nor do any of their other records. Jane explained
that many of the earlier platted subdivisions within the Borough were filed without
street names.
3. How were the street names chosen?
The woman who was purchasing properties along the proposed Nancy Way requested
a woman's street name, we felt it would be consistent to name the streets after other
women. We also wished to honor Howard Hackney, by naming one after him.
4. Lady at meeting said she lived on Bluebell off Alpine. I think she said she
thought Bluebell continued to street we called Kathy Lane. Please check on the
street name north of Kathy Lane to see if it is called Bluebell.
The lady at the meeting, Iona Wilson, just left this office (1:22 p.m. 5/11/94). She left
a map which was obtained from the phone company which shows the street names
listed. I called Todd, PTI Engineering regarding these records. He said they came
from the PTI Plant Record maps, which are in no way official records, but are for
office use only. None of his other maps of Black Gold Estates showed street names.
CONCLUSION:
As you may know the Borough recently contracted with McLane and Associates on
the Enhanced 911 Maps and Address project. This project identifies Emergency
Services Numbers (ESN) throughout the Borough, and also identifies problems with
duplicate, problem, or non -existing street names. The preliminary study was received
by the Borough March 18, 1994. 1 spoke with Jane Gabler on May 11 and asked her
if the study showed any street names in Black Gold Estates. The study does not.
I have met with Dick Troeger and Cathy Wagner of the KPB regarding this issue on
May 4. Dick said that there were approximately 1500 streets within the Borough
which had been identified with problems. He recommended that the City hold off on
street naming actions until a joint meeting can be held to identify and correct problem
areas within the Borough.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
According to KMC 14.15.110 Plan Adopted (a) The Planning and Zoning Commission
is hereby authorized to prepare and present to the Council a complete plan for naming
of all streets, avenues, and public ways within the City in accordance with KMC
14.15.010 through 14.15.140.
A plan has never been prepared or presented to Council. The Planning Staff has
used portions of the Borough's system in recent street naming situations. At this time
Staff would recommend that no further action be taken on the above referenced
matter until the Borough and City can meet to discuss the ESN system and potential
street naming problems within the city. If any of the unofficial names are adopted they
may be duplicates of existing street names. This would mean that they may have to
be renamed in the near future. In the meantime, if Council concurs, Staff and the
Planning and Zoning Commission will prepare a street naming plan to present to
Council.

The international trade efforts of EDD, the Kenai Peninsula
Borough and the City of Kenai shift into high gear!
The United States Information Agency (USIA) has awarded a
$40,542 grant to EDD for overseas exchanges between the
Russian City of Okha and the Kenai Peninsula Borough/City
of Kenai. For approximately thirty days this summer, a group
of five Okha officials will visit the Kenai Peninsula and
observe the workings of the Borough and city governments in
an effort to create a model to be used in of the
Okha governmental practices. Prior diplomatic and cultural
exchanges between the two areas have laid the groundwork for
this relationship.
This venture, building upon a sister city relationship between
the City of Kenai and Okha, hopes to open industrial trade

What would you like your community to look like or be like in 5,10 or 15 years? Do you see clean air, safe homes and schools,
healthy kids and an abundance of options for them to pursue as young adults? How is our economy in thatpicture, are there enough
jobs to go around or training opportunities for shifting economic demands? Are neighbors still helping neighbors? Canyou see
yourself still here, if so, why and if not, why not?
Now let's suppose that you have some nagging concerns that shade this panorama - maybe they are about the Kenai Peninsula or
just plain living in Alaska. Your friend says there seems to be a higher rate of cancer here or maybe you think job safety isn`t very

With the resignation of M ke Sims as Director of Business
Development, the search was on for "a top talent." The
response was excellent. The EDD Board of Directors and the
Executive Director. Stan Steadman, were faced with the task
of sorting through some two dozen applications. Of those, five
were chosen as finalists. Interviews followed and one man
stood alone!
Join us in welcoming William Root as the Kenai Peninsula
Borough Economic Development District, Business
Development Director. W. Root comes to us with qualities
and qualifications that more than mean the needs of EDD. He
has an MBA from Brigham Young University and a BBA in
accounting from the University of Alasice.
W. Root will not just be "getting his feet wet", he's 'jumping
in with both feet." Bill is expected to assist Stan with several
projects that have been on the back burner and are now
expected to move forward. The technology center,
Rural Development Initiative Fund _(RDIF)

GOOD MORNING AMERICA COME& TO THE PENINSULA
JOAN, CHARLIE, AND SPENCER
TO TAPE SHOW IN COOPER LANDING
Good Morning America (GMA), including co -hosts Charles Gibson, Joan Lunden and Spencer Christian, will travel to and
broadcast from nine different locations around Alaska the week of May 16-20. The Kenai Peninsula Tourism Marketing Council
(KPTMC) MC) has been working to insure that the Kenai Peninsula gets as much exposure as possible. According to David Karp,
Executive Directorof KPTMC, one of the shows willbe a two hourlive to tape broadcastfrom a location in Cooper Landing. Also,
one of the shows will be broadest from Portage Glacier which could be referred to as the Kenai Peninsula.
In addition to the actual live shows, KPTMC had the opportunity to collaborate with ABC producers in suggesting guests for the
show as well as people andplace s to tape in advance for airing during the program. At this point in time, it looks as if the majority
of the guests for the Kenai Peninsula portion of the week will actually be from the area. The tentative program now includes a
fly fishing lesson forJoan and Spencer on the Kenai River, interviews with the Caring for the Kenai contest winners, Tom Bodett
and a four minute taped pi= on the Kenai Peninsula including interviews with several Peninsula residents. In addition to the
Kenai Peninsula broadcast, itlooks as ifa few residentsoftheareawill appearas guests on other days of the weekin other locations.
The presence of this television programming will do a great deal for the Kenai Peninsula visitor industry and possibly other
industries. Good Morning America is typically a very upbeat, "lifestyles" program which focuses on people and places. The
Alaska Tourism Marketing Council has estimated that an investment of $500,000 would buy only 10 minates of
network television time while the GMA broadest will showcase Alaska for 10 hours.
Anyone iri molted in finding out more about the project is welcome to call David Karp, with KPTMC,
at (907) 283-3850.

This letter is in response to Carol L. Freas' letter of March 17, 1994 and the City of Kenai's
pending application for certification under the Certified Local Government (CLG) program.
I apologize for the tardy reply.
The City of Kenai's CLG application is almost complete. We still need the following items:
1. The Kenai Municipal Code Section 14.20.105 entitled "Townsite Historic (TSH)
Zoning District," does show a process by which the historic district board reviews
local projects. We need, however, a copy of the current ordinance with a map
defining the Townsite Historic Zone.
2. While Historic District Board members have been appointed, you still need to
identify who are the professionals in the areas of architecture, history, and
archaeology (CLG State Guidelines page 2). The professional qualifications for these
members are defined by the National Park Service Federal Regulations 36 CFR Ch. 1
Appendix A (7-1-86 Edition) (see enclosed copy). Please send formal resumes for the
professionals or summarize, in a letter from the city, the individuals and their
particular qualifications (education, training, and experience). If there is not a certain
professional among the board members, please identify who will be consulted when a
particular project requires expertise in that field. If you need an architect, for
example, perhaps the board will consult with the city architect or whoever the city
uses as consultants, such as an engineering firm. Our letter to you, dated October 21,
1993, provided the example of two CLGs (Unalaska and Seward) using Steve
Peterson, architect with the National Park Service in Anchorage, as a consultant.

3. The application also needs to include an outline of a historic istoric preservation plan. \ �
Examples of historic preservation plans were sent to you last October. Let me know
if I can provide you with additional guidance.
Once the application package is complete, the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO)
will send it to the National Park Service (NPS) and ask for that agency's concurrence. NPS
then has fifteen working days to review the application package. NPS will respond to the
SHPO by either approving the certification or requesting additional information.
Yesterday I spoke with Kim Howard about the above information. Please give me a call if I
can be of further assistance.

Knowing of your interest in issues affecting state and local
governments, I wanted to bring to your attention an issue that has
received tremendous exposure during this session of Congress -
"unfunded mandates".
Unfunded mandates have become a huge problem that must be
confronted by Congress. State and local political pressure to
address the issue will undoubtedly continue to build dramatically.
Congress must address not only the federal fiscal crisis, but it must
also deal with the fiscal crisis brought about by federal mandates at
the state and local levels.
The nation's mayors and governors came to Washington, D.C.
earlier this year with one clear message - federal environmental
regulations and unfunded mandates are bankrupting local budgets.
Studies show that state and local governments alone are forced to
spend between $30 and $40 billion annually to comply with EPA
mandates. Some environmental regulations are necessary. Yet, far
too often we are faced with unnecessary regulations that accomplish
very little and are extremely expensive to the taxpayer.
Since it is extremely unlikely that sufficient federal funding
assistance can be provided, the issue must be addressed through risk
assessment and cost -benefit assessment mechanisms. Risk assessment
is critical because it forms the basis for assessing benefits to be
measured against costs to determine whether we are getting our
money's worth out of regulations.
I recently joined a bi-partisan effort in the House during
consideration of legislation to elevate the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) to cabinet -level status to require that risk assessments
and cost -benefit analyses be performed before federal environmental
regulations are implemented. This common-sense approached is aimed
at preventing the implementation of environmental regulations where
the costs far outweigh the public health, safety, or environmental
benefits.
There is strong support for environmental regulatory reform. A
recent Harvard Center for Risk Analysis poll shows that 94 percent of
Americans think the government should take into account the costs and
benefits of regulations before they are implemented. I couldn't
agree more.
I know these issues are of great concern to you. For too long,
Washington has passed new regulations on to the American people
without disclosing - or even knowing - what the true costs is to
state and local governments and the taxpayer. With the help of
Alaska's local leaders, I am trying to restore sanity to the
environmental regulatory process.
You can be sure I am committed to this effort. If there are
issues unique to your locality or region, and you feel I may be of
assistance, please feel free to contact me. With best wishes, I
remain,
Sincerely,
DON YOUNG
Congressman for all Alaska
