Below is how I recommend we proceed: the subject project. Peninsula lowest bid). When you add in total construction budget of Orig. Trans. Trans. From Fund Bal.

We did not use this money because of additional in-house work and some costs were before the grant and therefore not eligible. Ordinance 1722-96 makes the transfer of $4,572 from design to construction. Design was required before the grant and not eligible. Council already approved taking this out of P.W. Admin's operating budget. The ordinance also appropriates $15,105 from the fund balance to construction. The deductive alternates did not help. Deductive No. 1 was for the contractor to move 36 concrete piles to our boating facility instead of the beach dunes road. ADF&G recently said that they will not pay to move Page 2 Dunes Award 9/27/96 them to our yard. It would cost the city $7,200 for Peninsula to move the 36 piles to our yard. Deductive No. 2 was to provide painted steel stairs in lieu of hot dipped galvanized. No bidding contractor thought it would be cheaper. Bidding documents also allowed aluminum, which is what the contractor has indicated he will use at no additional cost to the city. We could negotiate to remove the stairs from contract: Basic Stairs Peninsula 109,705 39,375 = $70,330 Zubeck 118,324 30,000 = 88,324 Foster 117,390 50,000 = 67,390 The City Attorney would have to help decide if we can negotiate with anyone other than the apparent low bidder. If we went with Foster, without the stairs, the total construction cost would be $68,877.80 (construction - $67,390 and surveying + $1,487.80) and we would return $27,210 to the ADF&G. ($100,000 - 68,877.80 - 112.20 - 3, 800) According to the contractors who bid on this, the stairs are worth from $30,000 to $50,000. The city will have to pay $14,505 [15,105 - 600 (already spent on survey)] more money into the project to complete the basic bid. I think completing the basic bid is well worth it and I recommend approval of Ordinance No. 1722-96 to appropriate the funds. Because of winter rapidly approaching and the contractor has to order materials and drive piles, plus ADF&G is very anxious for the city to start, I recommend a second hearing so the project can be awarded October 3id. I also recommend approval of Resolution No. 96-78 awarding the basic bid to Peninsula Construction.

Ernst added, he did not believe the cost would come near the $50,000. It is a not -to -exceed figure. Measles asked Attorney Graves if there was a way of doing this as a separate agreement with Aries to eliminate the time delay but separate from the Airport Master Plan project. Graves answered, the problem would be that if it became a separate item, it would require a separate bid and a separate contract. A way to handle the concerns would be to include the concerns on the addendum. Measles stated he didn't have a concern about the contract or to give the contract to Aries. He stated it was a personal preference not to lump two irrelevant projects under one contract. Ernst explained the relevance would come in with doing the environmental on the grass strip and float plane basin at the same time. The same field work would be applicable to the taxiway extension -- a lot of the work for the taxiway extension would overlap. Measles asked the original amount of the contract for the Master Plan. Ernst answered. $299,000. VOTE: Williams asked if there were any objections to UNANIMOUS CONSENT. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. C-7. Resolution No. 96-66 - Accepting the donation of Cement Piling from Cherrier-King. MOTION: Councilman Measles MOVED to approve Resolution No. 96-66 and Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion. There were no public comments. Councilman Moore stated his concern in regard to the third "whereas" and who would pay the appraiser to determine the value of the donation for the required IRS form. Kornelis stated he believed Cherrier was having the appraisal done and the cost would be borne by Cherrier. The City was only acknowledging they would receive the donated property (referring to Part IV of the form) . KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 4, 1996 PAGE 10 Councilman Moore asked what would happen to the pilings if the city rejected the grant. Ross asked if council would be able to hold off accepting the pilings if the bid came high and council determined not to do the project. Bookey stated he thought there had been a request from the donor that the pilings be moved by a certain date. Kornelis answered he had not talked with Cherrier. Mr. McCune reported the information to him during a Harbor Commission meeting. Bookey asked if the city accepted the donation, was there a place to store the pilings. Graves stated that when the city signs the resolution and tax form, the pilings would be the city's and would be responsible for them. Kornelis suggested the resolution be tabled until after the bid opening or approve it with the acceptance of the contract. Measles asked how soon the city would be ready to start the project and placing the pilings so they would only need to be moved one time. Kornelis answered, there would probably be a one -month lag time before they would be able to place the grates. The pilings could probably be placed right away. He added, it would be the contractor's responsibility to move and place the pilings. A surveyor''s line would be placed to know where the pilings would need to be positioned. The price would be determined by the contractor as to what type of equipment they would use to move and place them. Kornelis stated they would be ready to go to bid by the end of the month. He would place a resolution in the packet for the October 2 meeting. MOTION: Councilman Measles MOVED to table Resolution No. 96-66 until the first meeting in October. Councilman Bookey SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. 80 ORDERED. C-8. Resolution No. 96-67 - Establishing the Authorized Signatures for Withdrawal from depositories of Municipal Funds. MOTION: Councilman Bookey MOVED for approval of Resolution No. 96-67 and Councilman Moore SECONDED the motion.

D P.O. BOX 790 DILLINGHAM. ALASKA 99576-0790 PHONE: (907) 842.5135 FAX (907) 842.5140 This is the fourth year for this program. Municipalities around the state will share approximately $1,218,870 based on 1995 fisheries activity as reported by fish processors on their fish tax returns. The law that created this program requires that program funding be first allocated to fisheries management areas around the state based on the level of fish processing in each area compared to the total fish processing for the whole state. Then the funding is further allocated among the municipalities located within each fisheries management area based on the relative level of impacts experienced by each municipality. Details of how the program works are presented in the application under Program Description. Your community is located in the Cook Inlet Fisheries Management Area. The municipalities located in this area include Anchorage, Homer, Kenai, Kenai Peninsula Borough, Kachemak, Seldovia, Seward and Soldotna. The FY 97 program total allocation to be shared within this area is approximately $44,846. In fisheries management areas where the program allocation is greater than $4,000 multiplied by the number of municipalities in the area, program regulations provide for a "long -form" application. In your area the threshold value is $32,000 (8 municipalities x $4,000) and you are therefore receiving the attached Long -Form Application. We encourage your municipality to complete the FY 97 Shared Fisheries Business Tax Application as soon as possible. FINAL DEADLINE for submissions of applications is December 15,1996. The long -form application provides for a "standard" and an "alternative" method of funding allocation. Please note that proposals for alternative methods must be received by the department by November 1, 1996. If you have any questions about the program, or require assistance in completing the application, please call me at 465-4733 or Michael Cushing at 465- 4751.

La Shot advised this is a city plat noting this plat would formally establish right of way for the existing Mission Street through the church area and ties into Alaska Avenue. This plat would give the city a right of way to construct the Mission Street Improvement Project next summer. Christian asked if this would be a widening or paving. La Shot advised it will be paved and there will be additional parking established noting bus parking on Overland. Paving will be single lane project to tie back into Alaska Avenue and more parking in front of church property. Christian asked if this would be paving Mission all the way around. La Shot advised a loop -type situation. Christian stated he assumes because it is a one lane road they will not be taking much of lawn from the Bay Arms. La Shot advised just a little bit. La Shot noted parcels one and two are from private property owners noting the street will get into those lawns a little bit. La Shot noted there has been an archeological study also done on project that can be reviewed. Mahurin stated she would share that when she was on the TSH Board this was the first projects dealt with and there was a lot of public input. Mahurin advised it was TSH that asked for the archeological study adding it has gone through a lot of hoops prior to this plat. Bryson asked if the acquisition along Overland Avenue was for the bus parking —La Shot advised yes. Bryson. asked if the remainder if part of the presently used right of way. La Shot noted that street has never had formal right of way adding it has just gone through the church property and across private property. Bryson asked if the property that would remain on the church proper is all outside of the fence, the present picket fence? La Shot asked if he was referring to 192-82 and advised yes noting the fence won't be moved. La. Shot stated that on Overland the chain length fence will be relocated around old fort.

La Shot added that on his report he would like to change the encroachments which he had said were 2 inches and 4 inches and would like them changed to 2/10th and 4/10th of a foot. La Shot noted that on the application the applicant made a statement that the surveyor is no longer available. La Shot noted the asbuilt was stamped by Roy Whitford who is in the area. La Shot noted he didn't think there was any attempt to shed bad light on the surveyor. Bryson, noting that the house was built in 1978 and the asbuilt was done in 1986, so the surveyor happened to be carrying the message in this case but apparently they didn't acknowledge it at that time.

MOTION SECONDED BY GOECKE. PUBLIC HEARING OPENED. Loretta Schoolcraft—P.O. Box 3197, Soldotna—Schoolcraft advised that she wanted to make a home for herself and her three kids and that she works hard and would like it passed. Werner-Quade asked if she had purchased the property recently before deciding to move the home. Schoolcraft advised she wanted to purchase the property so she could move it. Werner-Quade clarified she hadn't yet bought the property. Schoolcraft stated they have completed the paperwork and it has been sent to the owner in Juneau. Werner- Quade stated she is asking because when she looked into the property herself she noted it was zoned commercial. Werner-Quade stated she wondered if Schoolcraft knew that. Schoolcraft stated the owner had made an agreement to sell her lot 14, Jim Beedle out of Juneau. Nord asked if she had original pictures. Schoolcraft noted they were not with her tonight adding she had found out this afternoon that it was a good idea to be at the meeting. Planning & Zoning Commission Page 4 Minutes September 25, 1996 Christian asked what she was intending to do with the structure. Schoolcraft noted it was across the street on Fireweed and that it would be placed on a full basement. Christian asked if it had windows noting it was difficult to see from the pictures they had been given. Christian asked if it was a two story building. Schoolcraft advised it was two stories and that it would have a loft and be handicap accessible to the loft. Schoolcraft noted she just wanted to start it out as a residence so she could get some stability for herself and her children and then build from there. Mahurin, noting this was being asked from curiosity, asked if with young children in commercial area if she was thinking about going into business in the future. Schoolcraft advised she would probably like to obtain the lot next to it and open a B&B but right now was focusing on this project. Michael Rowden-5615 Kenai Spur Highway, Kenai—Rowden noted he is the owner of Lot 6 and 17, of block 2, formerly Beaver Wood Products. Rowden stated he had had to retire on a disability but noted he has 23 years invested in that commercial property. Rowden stated he and Bob Hope, who lives on the next lot behind him, had �✓ tried to figure out how to put their businesses in. Rowden commented that this city doesn't allow anything noting he was supposed to be classified as light industry. Rowden stated the only place was in town was the lots near the new courthouse or down by the cannery. Rowden noted they couldn't afford the lots and that they had came to the council and they had it fixed in the ordinance and were not given a variance until the ordinances were straightened out they could go ahead and move in there. Rowden stated the cabinet shop wasn't supposed to go in there. Rowden stated that Bob has built on the other side two story building with an apartment upstairs. Rowden stated they bought because it was commercial property. Rowden stated Mr. Beedle bought because it was commercial property and he was hoping to make a profit off it. Rowden commented that Beedle is living in Juneau now and trying to sale it because things didn't pan out and he is not interested in whether or not it is commercial. Rowden said you will note there are commercial lots all around it. The house on the corner on Lot 12 was originally a Lindall Cedar Home that was built as an office. Rowden stated it sat for a long time until they turned it into a house. Rowden asked, once you start doing this, where will it stop. Rowden stated he is looking at his investment noting he doesn't know how much longer he will be able to stay here with his physical condition. Rowden stated he wants to be able to sale property as commercial property. Rowden noted that the ordinance says, except for the ground floor noting as he understands it you cannot live on the ground floor. Rowden commented that that little building will. be awful small to live upstairs. Rowden stated he could see if the primary purpose is commercial and if residence is secondary as we did, that is one thing. Rowden stated he felt it was slapping him in the face because he bought it as commercial property and would still be in business today if it wasn't for his physical problems. Rowden stated eventually if I have to sale he wants to be able to sale as a commercial piece of property. Rowden commented he doesn't like the house in front but it is out of the way. This one will be where there are commercial lots all the way around it, the three lots on the front touches it, and the lot on both sides are still commercial property. Planning & Zoning Commission Page 5 Minutes September 25, 1996 Rowden commented that if she bought the other lot first and started with something else and then put in house that may be okay. Rowden commented that he didn't think it was fair to start out with a house and is not suitable. Not fair to Bob Hope or the rest of us there. Rowden commented he doesn't want to start seeing a bunch of variances issued. Rowden stated that he knew where the One Stop went in those people all bought commercial property and then tried to fight the One Stop going in. Christian asked if the other people started out as residences or businesses. Rowland stated they started out as businesses. Rowden further explained how the fish camp had came about. Christian stated he was wondering if historically they started out as residences or businesses. Rowland reiterated they started out as commercial added that was why he and Bob came because originally the ordinance that was ruled commercial said you couldn't live in as place of residence. But, said at the bottom said all urban commercial ordinances apply and you could live in your place of business as long as your front entrance to the house wasn't the front door to your business. Rowden stated that was when they finally said he could live there. Rowden commented that he was a single person and had a house and couldn't afford a house and a business too. Rowden explained how they went in as a business. Mahurin asked when he started his business. Explained they bought the lot in 73 and put the building there in 73 and he had managed it until 75 and then he bought it. Mahurin stated she moved in to Thompson Park in 71 and Mr. England and his family had a personal home there. Mahurin stated she didn't mean to argue but that was a home long before it became a business out of there. Rowland stated England was an electrician and had an electrician's truck there. Rowden stated that was the reason he was able to buy it off of J.W. and he was an electrician. Rowden stated he didn't have a business building and stock electrical parts but he had an electrical truck and he was doing electrical business out of there. PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED. Glick asked if La Shot had additional staff comments. La Shot noted nothing additional. Bryson asked La Shot to what degree is there a mixing of uses in that commercial zone. Bryson stated he is aware of the attempt to restrict the use to commercial and the request that was denied by P&Z. La Shot stated that to his knowledge the only true house is a small house at the fish camp that could be use as a residence part of the year and above Beaver Wood Products is an apartment which is an allowable secondary use in that manner. La Shot noted you can have a residence as long as it is not on the ground floor facing a collector street. La Shot noted he is not sure about all the other buildings in the area adding he believed most are businesses. Planning & Zoning Commission Page 6 Minutes September 25, 1996 Mahurin stated she knows that Adams (?) has property in there and they have a huge warehouse with a one bedroom apartment which is next to Beaver Wood Products. Rowden stated that was originally Bob Hope's building. Werner-Quade asked concerning the special assessment district if it matters if it is residential or commercial as to the assessment. La Shot responded no noting they are assessed by square footage. Glick noted a letter from Robert and Patricia Holt who have Holt construction and they live in an apartment there. Glick noted there is one lot between them and this property. Werner-Quade noted that in her opinion we have been begged to consider zoning along the Spur Highway corridor and to consider commercial zoning at least from Swires down east to Morgan Steel. Werner-Quade stated she knew where this property was located and noted she had written to the owner about the property. Werner-Quade noted she felt it might not be the best to give up a segment of the commercial property in that area. Mahurin stated she felt she was missing a point. This is an unusual situation, usually the Commission is being asked to give residential to commercial. Mahurin noted that across the street P&Z denied Benton's request to rezone to commercial who appealed to Council and it was granted. Mahurin noted that she understood what Mrs. Schoolcraft is trying to do on a shoe string. Mahurin noted that that side of her will win and will vote yes. Mahurin noted she had listened to the arguments and cannot see any reason to vote no. Goecke agreed with Mahurin adding that she knows that it is commercial and that eventually she will want to do a B&B in that area. Goecke noted that as long as it is commercial she wouldn't have to come back for a CUP. Goecke noted she is not asking for rezoning she is asking to be allowed to put a residence in a commercial zone. Goecke stated he has no problem with this whatsoever. Bryson stated he somewhat feels the same way stating he feels the structure if there is a commercial demand a structure such as this can be quickly converted to commercial use because it will pay higher rent or removed for the same reason. Bryson agreed that because not being asked to rezone but for a variance will be in favor. VOTE: GOECKE YES NORD YES MAHURIN YES CHRISTIAN YES BRYSON YES WERNER-QUADE YES GLICK NO MOTION PASSED 6 TO 1. Planning & Zoning Commission Page 7 Minutes September 25, 1996 7. NEW BUSINESS: S. OLD BUSINESS: 9. CODE ENFORCEMENT ITEMS: 10. REPORTS: a. City Council Mr.Smalley noted the copy of agenda in packet. Item 2a tabled. This was the purchase of new floats to be extending the dock floats further into the river to get them further away so when the tide goes down. Smalley reported this was put on hold to have the City Engineer look at the product to make sure it is what we want because they are purchased. Council decided to do this before they are purchased. Smalley noted this is not a lot of money but why spend $6300 if they won't work. Smalley reported in the work session we worked on the Capital Project Matching Grant and water clarity and quality is still number one concern. Smalley noted Item 5 was removed from the agenda. On page two, the coffee maker at the Senior Center broke and so they purchased a new one. Smalley commented that the coffee maker was a lot cheaper than the ones that the Army buys. Item G, the Council set out the advertisement for the city manager. The closure date is December 15. It will run from November 1 to December 15. Council approved a contract with Kathy Scott and Associates to work on getting space within the city to upgrade the public health facility. Smalley noted the state is too broke to help them out so the city is looking at larger facilities. Smalley noted the health center has outgrown their space adding that the city could use the space. Under H-5 the clean up of the FAA grounds was discussed and the possibility of the city obtaining a couple of the buildings there. Item 6, street lights, there were 11 or 12 new street lights that will be put in. Smalley noted that two are $25 each and that they can go as high as $3300. Smalley noted he has the list if anyone would like to look at it. b. Borough Planning Bryson noted the agenda is in the packet for the September 23rd meeting. The regular and consent agendas approved. Item E1 continued to be postponed. Under public hearings, the first item approved a vacation of a portion of Mansfield Avenue. Item 2 was a resolution reclassifying Borough properties. Bryson noted this was a request by the administration, the major portion to rural and other portion for a waste handling site. After considerable input from residents, the Commission recommended that the parcel be classified to rural and that solid waste keep looking for another site. A vacation not requiring a public hearing was approved. The special consideration for a building setback was approved for the existing structure only. Bryson stated Item H2 was an ordinance authorizing the Mayor to sell property to the Smith family in Planning & Zoning Commission Page 8 Minutes September 25, 1996 Cooperlanding. The ordinance 96-43 was recommended to be defeated by the Commission. Bryson noted this is a situation wherein the borough doesn't own the property yet. Bryson stated the people who had some time ago requested to purchase the land were now requesting a conditional sale agreement. Bryson stated the Borough required to sale at fair market value at time the Borough receives title which Borough doesn't have. All plats were approved. Under the Kenai River Habitat there were two items, one proposed construction of car port, outside of city, was narrowly approved. The second one, within the city of Kenai, was an application to construct bank protection in the industrial area of town. Bryson shared photographs of the area. This was approved. The other items on the agenda were decisions that were relayed by administration. The Planning Director had ruled that two borrow pits were grandfathered in. Bryson noted that both are being appealed by borough residents so will be coming before the Borough Planning Commission as a Board of Adjustment. Werner-Quade, referring to the carport discussed at the last meeting that had been denied and then went to appeal and was allowed, Werner-Quade stated she would like to keep abreast of the situation. Bryson noted they have had five carport situations, one was approved and four were denied. One of the four petitioned and the Assembly upheld the complainant in that case. Bryson noted that was reversed. Bryson noted that in this situation the individual had submitted a building plan in 1991 and had presumably had all this work in the mill. That was the feeling of the majority of the Commission. Bryson shared a picture of the area where the carport would be placed. Smalley asked to share a map of the 40 acre tract off Marathon Road showing a depiction of what is planned for the site including the Challenger Center and the Fire Training Center. Smalley stated he though they were talking about $4 million for the Challenger Center and they are seeking funding. La Shot noted the Fire Training Center budget is at $8.1 million. La Shot stated the administration has worked on this quite some time and it has just now gotten to Public Works and are in the process of negotiating with engineers, etc. Goecke asked if the Challenger Center was at $4 million dollars. Smalley stated that was the most recent figure and that the city has not dedicated any money at this time. They are trying to get corporate funding as much as possible now. Smalley stated they city will probably put funding in as the land etc. Goecke asked if there is not enough private money at this time, the city could come out with a bond issue. Smalley stated that is always a possibility. Goecke asked about how this would pay for itself. Smalley stated he couldn't say yes or no. Smalley stated the idea is that it will be bringing in funds to take care of the general operation and that it would be used by students from across the state. Goecke asked if there were letters stating that from school districts across the state. Smalley stated the state school board representing 53 districts is behind the project. Goecke asked again is there were any letters from districts themselves. Smalley stated he didn't know. Planning & Zoning Commission Page 9 Minutes September 25, 1996 Goecke asked about the Fire Training Center at $8.1. Smalley noted that 94 percent is federally funded adding that he doesn't know if they have letters of interest in the project. Smalley stated there is one in Salt Lake City and one scheduled in Seattle area. La Shot stated there are at least a dozen in the lower 48. Goecke stated that realistically what we have is the only people we could have a chance of drawing to this is firefighters from within Alaska. Smalley stated no. Goecke , asked to be corrected if he was wrong, noting that every metropolitan area is in a money crunch and he cannot see them sending firefighters to Alaska when they could drive to schools. Smalley stated the Alaska Fireman's Association is very much behind the project. They are also tying in major airlines, Korean, JAL, going to foreign countries that have in the past flown through Alaska. Smalley noted those people have to be trained. Smalley stated they are required to have three trainings per year. Smalley stated the city had been looking at a way to bring enterprise into the city. Goecke commented he felt we were making a job for our soon to retire fire chief. Smalley stated he didn't think so adding he felt Goecke was out of line. Goecke stated he felt we were in the days of diminishing income for the residents of the city and are all of a sudden trying to spend tax payers money. Smalley noted he has the same concern and is not willing to spend a lot of the city's money. Werner-Quade stated that when we had the joint session they mentioned possibly hiring a lobbyist. Smalley stated it will be discussed at the next council meeting. La Shot commented, regarding the Fire Training Center, that 94% of the funding was coming from federal funds the remaining 6% comes from the airport fund so no local tax dollars will come into the picture. La Shot noted the city may be involved in the operation but the plan says those fees should be taken care of in operation and maintenance costs. a. Administration La Shot reported that the TSH Board met last night. They discussed the grant the city received to install information signs in the Historic District. The report that was just completed identified 34 properties and there was money funded for 30 signs. The board will be working with the Rotary Club. The grant will purchase the materials and the Rotary will construct them. They talked about moving their meetings which has yet to be approved by council. They reviewed the Mission Street project. There is a draft of the sign ordinance that they will review at their next meeting and then it will come back to Planning and Zoning. Christian asked if we had heard anything more from the landscaping plan that was tabled at last meeting. La Shot stated he had missed the deadline adding that he doesn't plan to break ground until spring. 11. PERSONS PRESENT NOT SCHEDULED: Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes 12.

NEW BUSINESS: a. Sign Grant Gray noted the grant was approved. She stated it's pretty commendable since she heard the state normally tries to spread the money around the state to where the same city doesn't receive the grant two years in a row. Gray also noted Kebschull's presentation to the state was done very professionally and made a good visual impact. Gray said the grant is for 30 signs. In the survey report there were 34 properties surveyed. Gray said the Board needs to decide two things: (1) which 30 properties should be signed; and (2) what criteria to follow in choosing the 30. Booth asked if we are specifically tied to 30 signs or to a dollar amount. Gray answered that in the grant, it is written "30 signs." Booth asked if that is based on a rough cost estimate, and if we pay for the material and Rotary donates their time to make the signs. Gray said it is a rough estimate and the grant covers materials and Rotary donates labor for the signs. Booth asked if we could get 34 signs out of the 30 sign cost. La Shot suggested waiting until we receive responses from the property owners before we decide which ones to sign. He pointed out that some property owners may not want signage on their property and that could eliminate having to choose the 30 properties. Gray suggested a Motion be made concerning the letter being sent to property owners. Huhndorf asked if the letter to property owners could include an incentive to property owners - whether it be of tax or monetary value. Booth asked if the signs would be mounted on the building or on posts in the yard. Gray said there is money for posts so the sign location could be up to the property owner, she added some properties don't have buildings. Gray suggested requesting the property owners respond whether they do or do not want signage on their property, and set a deadline, if we get no response by then, follow up with a phone call. Page 3 Historic District Board Minutes 9/24/96 Godek concurred with Gray, stating it would be wise to follow up with the phone call. Moore asked if the property owners haven't already been contacted (a long time ago) concerning the signage. Gray said they were contacted about admittance to their property for the survey. Gray said that several buildings already have signs. She counted four properties that already have signs so that leaves 30 properties with no signage which would fit right in with the grant. Moore said he is surprised the state would grant any money with no guarantee from the property owners regarding the signs. La Shot stated that an agreement with property owners is required before the signage can be put up, according to the grant. MOTION Michael Huhndorf Moved to have a letter drafted to property owners, with copies of their property description from the Historic Survey and a sample agreement, and put it on the next Historic District Board Agenda for approval. Kim Booth Seconded. PASSED BY UNANIMOUS CONSENT. La Shot said he will talk to the City Attorney and ask him to draft the agreement to attach to the letter. Huhndorf stated that the Board should look at some of the objections property owners could bring up, i.e. walking across lawns, etc. Moore commented that (although it may not occur) we may hear "What will you pay me for it?" Gray asked Booth if the Visitors Center is planning to coordinate a walking tour. Booth said that with the development of the Old Town Shopping Village and the restaurant, there seems to be a movement to make our history better well known and documented for visitors. Booth said she and Veronica Kessler (curator) have been discussing a walking tour with a map so that they don't have to tell each visitor where every building or point of interest is. She suggested talking with the Kenaitze Tribe to get some copies of their photos and maybe do a cassette tape of a walking tour. Booth added she knows a tape exists somewhere. Page 4 Historic District Board Minutes 9/24/96 Woodford stated a tape was given to her to transcribe a year or more ago. She said she would look for the transcribed walking tour, but that she thinks it was given to someone else. Woodford said she believes the tape was received from Roger Meeks. Gray said she was in Unalaska and for their walking tour they just told you that this building is at this address. Gray suggested that if a tape is made for a walking tour, at least one be done in German. Huhndorf said he thinks the Tribe would like to participate with the Visitors Center regarding a walking tour. Booth suggested having Walking Tour under New Business on the next Agenda. Gray concurred. La Shot said the letter sent to property owners should ask for their opinion of where they would like the signage placed. b. Attendance/Possible Change of Meeting Days or Times Gray said this item was put on the Agenda because of the letter Board members received from the Mayor. She said the letter came as a result of the last meeting having no quorum. Gray explained that she canceled the meeting because she knew there would not be a quorum. She added that no matter whether there is a quorum or not, the meeting secretary has to show up because it is a public meeting. Gray also apologized to Joe Moore for not contacting him when she knew there would not be a quorum at the last meeting. Gray said she asked the Mayor to look at the list of Board members, stating they are all very busy people, teachers and professionals some taking college classes in the evening. There was general discussion among the Board members regarding nights they are or are not available. After this discussion, Godek suggested looking at a Monday night. Huhndorf said the earlier in the evening, the better. Woodford told the Board what nights are not available according to other scheduled meetings. Gray said the Board's request has to go to City Council for approval. Page 5 Historic District Board Minutes 9/24/96 MOTION Godek Moved to ask City Council for approval to move the Townsite Historic Board's regularly scheduled meeting to the third Monday of the month, at 5:30 p.m. Booth Seconded. There being no objection, MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. c. New Members Godek said she has a list of some people she thought of to ask if they would be interested in joining the Board. She asked the Board to come up with some others she can contact, suggesting people that have been in the area a long time and have an interest in Kenai's history. Moore reminded the Board that the membership is restricted. Godek noted two positions are open. She said she called Bill Thompson and is waiting for his reply. Booth suggested asking Bob Peters. It was noted Peters is on the Library Commission. Huhndorf suggested Emily DeForest. Booth said she could not be on a commission since she is a city employee. Moore was asked if you can be on two commissions. He stated yes. Gray suggested Karen Mahurin, but added she is very busy. Godek said she will contact some of these people to see if anyone is interested. 7. OLD BUSINESS: a. Ft. Kenay/Mission Street Gray referenced Steve Horn's letter. She said the paving has been redesigned to come out further from the fence to concur with the request from SHPO's office. Gray said when the archeologists came through, they did find, on the water side of the church, some artifacts. She added the church has approved the buffer zone around the church and it looks like the project will be done next summer. Gray told the Board they may want to look at lighting in the project, and also colored sidewalks, etc. She said that Alan Boraas stated it would be inaccurate to put Victorian style lights in the area. It was also noted that street lights are not necessary in the summer. Gray suggested putting this subject on a future Agenda for discussion. Page 6 Historic District Board Minutes 9/24/96 b. Preservation Plan, Part 2 Huhndorf said the Preservation Plan is in the process. He asked the Board what kind of format they are looking for. Should the format be done strictly according to law, or something that is agreed upon by the Board. Gray suggested Huhndorf prepare a summary for the steps to follow according to what is required and let the Board examine it and maybe add some extra criteria. Gray added that a major portion of the plan is done with the Survey being finished. She said she is pleased with the outcome of the Survey. c. Shkituk' Village Archeological Study Huhndorf said he hasn't been able to contact anybody but he does have a meeting later in the week where he may be able to contact his sources. La Shot said Rachel Clark is doing a plan for the area showing the present status of it. Moore added the FAA has asked if the City would like any of the buildings that are there. Gray stated when she spoke with the Mayor, they discussed temporarily placing the Shkituk' sign until everything is settled and a final spot is chosen for the sign. & REPORTS: None 9. INFORMATION: j. Letter from State DOT regarding Ft. Kenai/Mission Street Improvements k. The Alliance Review —Fall 1996 I. "Heritage" Newsletter (April - June 1996) 10. BOARD QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS: Huhndorf announced the Museum's Alaska Conference will be held October 11 - 15, 1996, in Anchorage. He said the theme is "Interpreting Our Past." He added it will be at the Anchorage Museum of History and Art. Booth said that Veronica Kessler will be attending. Page 7 Historic District Board Minutes 9/24/96 Booth said the summer was good, the Center was open until after 8:00 every night. She said she had a conversation with the Mayor concerning attendance and conflicts and he was understanding, but the big picture is ... if you want to be on the Board - you have to attend the meetings. Gray said her trip to Unalaska was great. She stated that you must visit there, if only to land in a plane there! Gray said for such a tiny town they have a very nice walking tour. Gray asked La Shot if Mrs. Vozar owns the corner property that is directly across from Fort Kenay where the sign is that says "Old Town Shopping Village" (with an arrow). La Shot said she does own a piece of property in the area. Gray stated that she is wondering if this is an off -premises sign, and she added that the sign kind of points people away from Old Town. La Shot said he will look into it. Gray mentioned the Dunes project, asking if the area is in the TSH zone. La Shot said it is not. There was some discussion concerning the project, where the walkway will be, etc. La Shot said he has also applied for a corps permit to expand the parking area down there. Gray said that rehabilitation in this area had been one of the first things this Board suggested to Council. At the time nothing was done. Booth reported the ribbon cutting ceremony of the Spur Highway was held today. Gray said the Orthodox Church is having their 100 and 1501" dinner at 1:00 on Sunday. 100 yrs. ago the present consecrated, and 150 yrs. ago the first priest came here. Board members are invited as guests to attend. 11. ADJOURNMENT: At 8:00 p.m. Dorothy Gray adjourned the meeting. Respectfully Submitted, Kathy Wo dford, Admi .

Public Works Director Kornelis answered, the first two on the list were those approved for VIP by council during the budget session. ITEM C: PUBLIC HEARINGS C-1. Ordinance No. 1716-96 - Increasing Estimated Revenues and Appropriations by $8,333.33 in the General Fund for Informational Signage in the Kenai Townsite Historic District and the Shkituk' Village Site. MOTION: Councilman Measles MOVED for adoption of Ordinance No. 1716-96 and Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion. There were no public comments. Councilman Smalley asked if there had been enough investigation and identification of the area and if the city still had problems with the ground work there. Mayor Williams asked Kornelis how long the city would have to perform on the grant. Kornelis answered the final narrative and financial report were due September, 1997. The signs would have to be installed by March, 1997. Kornelis added, the city would be working in conjunction with the Rotary Club in regard to the signs. It would take most of the winter to make the signs. He encouraged passage of the KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 18, 1996 PAGE 3 ordinance, adding that by Spring they should have a clear idea of what would be needed to be done in regard to the property. If the sign placement schedule could not coordinate with the clean- up of the property, the city could write a letter and back out of the grant. Councilman Bannock stated the majority of the funds were for the Shkituk' Village sign. The Rotary Club's portion involved the signs to be placed on historical buildings. Kornelis stated there had been a survey done. There were 44 signs designated, however the grant would be able to cover the cost of 30 of the them. Administration will be writing to property owners during the winter and asked if a sign could be placed on their building or on a post on the building property. Measles noted "Shkituk."' was misspelled in the ordinance and should be corrected. Williams also reported he discussed the ordinance and meeting attendance of the Historic District Board with Dorothy Gray, the Historic Board Chair. She reported to him she was concerned there was a broken line of communication as she knew there wouldn't be a quorum for the meeting and called her members and cancelled the meeting. Williams reminded her that only the council could cancel the meetings as they were advertised public meetings. She told him she didn't understand that, but she did now. VOTE: Swarner: Yes Moore: Yes Measles: Yes Bannock: No Smalley: Yes Williams: Yes Bookey: Yes NOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. C-2. Ordinance No. 1718-96 - Increasing Estimated Revenues and Appropriations by $6,100 in the Boating Facility Enterprise Fund for Purchase of New Floats. NOTION: Councilman Bookey MOVED for approval of Ordinance No. 1718-96 and Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion. There were no public comments. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 18, 1996 PAGE 4 C2-a. Consideration of Substitute Ordinance No. 1718-96 - Increasing Estimated Revenues and Appropriations by $6,300 in the Boating Facility Enterprise Fund for Purchase of New Floats. MOTION TO SUBSTITUTE: Councilman Bookey MOVED substitute Ordinance No. 1718-96 with the Substitute Ordinance presented at the beginning of the meeting. Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion. Kornelis referred to his memorandum attached with the substitute which explained the Department wanted to purchase three additional 8' x 32' floats and use them to extend the floats between the launch ramps and provide other areas to temporarily tie up boats. One area where a float would be placed was where the abandoned boat grid had been located. He added, the shipping company had erred and given a price that was too low. The substitute included an additional $200, changing the total cost from $6,100 to $6,300. Kornelis added, the Harbor Commission recommended passage of the ordinance. Kornelis added, there would be an additional cost for the floatation logs for underneath the floats, plus the cost for the hardware, cleats and bolts of approximately $1,500/$1,600 was not included. They would. like to purchase the floats and adapt them for the city's use during the winter in order to place them in the spring. Councilwoman Swarner asked from what fund the $1,600 would be taken. Kornelis answered he was hoping to have enough money in the operation supplies from the dock fund/boating facility. Bookey noted there had been considerable talk at Harbor Commission meetings about the floats, but it was never stated they would be purchased from Prescott and would be used. Bookey asked Kornelis if the floats would be compatible. Kornelis answered, he had not looked at the floats, but Commission Chair Will Jahrig had. Jahrig reported he thought they would be compatible. Bookey stated he would not be comfortable with the purchase until there would be more review by the Public Works Department. He added, he was not convinced they could be used for the cost stated. Through discussions and reviewing the pictures, he was not sure the floats were really what the city needed. Kornelis explained he had discussed the matter with Swede Freden, the Dock Foreman. Freden felt the floats could be adapted for KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 18, 1996 PAGE 5 their needs. Needed welding could be done in the shop and the cost would be one-fourth of what the cost would be to build new ones. Bookey added, he had a problem with the floats being used and not having the city engineer look at them to confirm their compatibility. Williams reported the Fish Board would be meeting in Kenai to review the activities of the dipnetting program. The addition of the floats would probably ease the problems with the program. He did not believe the Fish Board would listen to their concerns and it was doubtful they would change the program. The addition of the floats could alleviate a dangerous situation and if that was possible, he was in support of the purchase. Bookey stated he agreed with that, but because the floats were used, it wasn't known if they would be compatible. He added, more homework should have been done. Bookey asked if Kornelis knew if they had been used as a float before. Kornelis answered no, but they do know they are lighter than wood and believe they would be adequate for the city's needs. Acting City Manager Ross asked what the time frame was for the purchase. Kornelis stated he could send people to Anchorage to look at the floats. Moore asked if the floats would be able to handle the tide. Kornelis answered yes. They also have five concrete ramps to extend the concrete portion of the ramp. Ross suggested that if there was no time frame, and the floats would have to be modified during the winter, the matter could be tabled until answers to their questions could be had. Williams added, in regard to liability to the city, the city had been placed at risk by the state. Smalley noted, there would be no difference in liability for a person to fall into the river during dipnetting or any other time. Bannock asked what the difference in cost would be if they purchased new floats. Kornelis answered, about $21,000 v. $6,000. Bannock asked if the $21,000 would purchase the best float or equal to what is already there. Kornelis answered, the $21,000 would be similar to the used floats they want to purchase. The aluminum floats would last longer and are lighter, making them easier to maneuver, etc. Williams added, the ones there now are dangerous and inadequate. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 18, 1996 PAGE 6 MOTION TO TABLE: Councilwoman Swarner MOVED to table Ordinance No. 1718-96 until Administration comes back with complete information about the total cost. Councilman Moore SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. 80 ORDERED. Kornelis was asked to bring the total cost of engineering and manner in which the floats would be installed and handled back to council with the ordinance. C-3. Resolution No. 96-69 - Listing the City's FY98 Capital Project Matching Grant Program Projects in Priority for a Request in State Funding. MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED for approval of Resolution No. 96-69 and Councilman Bookey SECONDED the motion. There were no public comments. MOTION TO AMEND: Councilman Smalley MOVED to amend the resolution by using the resolution identified as Substitute Resolution No. 96-69, Item C- 3a. Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. Williams asked if unanimous consent could be requested and not show a vote. Kornelis stated the grantee needed to see the vote. Williams suggested a letter be sent with the grant stating it was a unanimous vote. VOTE: Councilman Smalley requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. There were no objections. 80 ORDERED. Kornelis was directed to send a letter noting the motion to approve the CIP list was by unanimous consent. C-4. Resolution No. 96-70 - Declaring Equipment, Supplies, and Materials Surplus or Obsolete. MOTION: Councilman Bookey MOVED for approval of Resolution No. 96-70 and Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 18, 1996 PAGE 7 There were no public comments. Councilwoman Swarner requested the 1973 pickup and the 1981 4x4 pickup be removed from the list as they had been used by the summer Parks crews. If they were sold, the crews would have less vehicles to use. Kornelis reported the reason they were placed on the list was because the shop foreman and crew felt they were completely worn out. They spent a lot of time in the shop but were operational. A better price could be had at an auction if they run. Swarner stated that if they were not going to be replaced prior to June 1, she would rather they be driven as long as they could be. Bannock asked Kornelis if some cars were moved to Parks from other departments when new vehicles were purchased. Kornelis answered, the city engineer's truck and a water/sewer truck were forwarded to the Parks Department. The Parks Department did not include new vehicles in their budget because they received the hand-me-downs. Swarner stated she spoke with Parks & Recreation Director Frates and he said the vehicles on the surplus list were used by employees in addition to the hand-me-downs. Smalley asked what the cost breakdown would be to keep the trucks running. Kornelis answered, very high and added, one of the trucks had floor boards rotted out, the other had transmission problems. Kornelis added, he spoke with Frates and he wanted to keep the trucks. Kornelis suggested to Frates he request, in the next budget, to purchase two new used trucks. Kornelis stated he had no objections if council wanted to keep the trucks. Councilman Moore asked what the city's position was on auctioning of firearms and knives. Ross answered, if they were legal weapons, under state statutes, there was no reason the city could not auction them. Lt. Kohler explained the knives and firearms were received by the Kenai Police Department through forfeitures from the Court System and transferred to the city. Moore asked if the city was required to do background checks prior to selling them.. Kohler answered, if the auctioneer was a FFL holder, the burden was solely on the auctioneer. When asked if the city normally sold the weapons, Ross explained that for many years the city stored the guns and didn't auction them. Most agencies did the same. However, the public outcry has been the weapons should not be held. There was no legal reason why they could not auction the arms, but council could KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 18, 1996 PAGE 8 adopt a policy not to dispose of them by auction. The weapons were listed on the auction list as a manner in which to dispose of them. Moore stated he was not comfortable with selling the weapons to the general public as he did not think the city should be in the business of selling guns and knives. Swarner, referring back to the discussion of the trucks for the Parks crew, asked Bannock what kind of used vehicle could be purchased for $4,000-$5,000. Bannock answered it would be hard to get a pick-up for that amount of money. The last used vehicles the city purchased were approximately $10,000 each. MOTION: Councilwoman Swarner MOVED to amend the resolution to delete the two pick-up trucks. There was no second. Motion died. MOTION: Councilman Moore MOVED to remove the 14 miscellaneous firearms and 27 knives from the auction list. Councilman Bookey SECONDED the motion. Bookey asked Graves for his opinion. Graves stated a lot of cities don't sell them as a policy matter as they don't feel they should be in the business and because the city could have some potential liability and be named in a claim if the weapon was broken, etc. He added, what Ross was saying was administration could not have the weapons destroyed on its own without council saying to do it. Bookey stated he was not sure the city should destroy guns, but also should not be in the business of selling them. Williams stated that it has been said destroying the guns takes away from gun collectors. He added, he was opposed to the city selling guns and knives. He would prefer disposing of them by destroying them, or some other way. Smalley stated he was not sure he would want the weapons cut up, but did not want the city selling them. VOTE ON AMENDMENT: Swarner: Yes Moore: Yes Measles: No Bannock: No Smalley: Yes Williams: Yes Bookey: Yes KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 18, 1996 PAGE 9 MOTION PASSED. Moore asked the planned date of the auction. Kornelis answered, September 28 at the warm storage building. He added, he thought HEA may join with the city in the auction. Their items would be kept separate from the city's. Ross stated they would remove the weapons from the auction items and he would ask KPD to research how weapons are disposed of elsewhere and destruction alternatives. The discussion of disposal of weapons would be brought back to council in the future. Measles suggested the city could take bids from licensed firearm dealers for the lot. Ross suggested if they would auction them in that manner, it may require an ordinance as this resolution was for an auction open to the public. Measles stated he was opposed to destruction. Williams stated Administration would look into the matter of weapon disposal and a decision on that would made at a later date. Kornelis stated for council's information that the auction of the Drott backhoe would be started with a minimum bid of $5,000. VOTE ON AMENDED MOTION: Swarner: No Bannock: Yes Bookey: Yes MOTION PASSED. Moore: Yes Smalley: Yes Measles: No Williams: Yes C-5.

MOTION: Councilwoman Swarner MOVED for approval of Resolution No. 96-72 and requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 18, 1996 PAGE 10 There were no public comments. Senior Director Porter explained the large coffee maker broke and a large party had been scheduled at which the coffee maker would be needed. She turned in a purchase order for a new one and took possession of the new coffee maker. Afterwards, she realized there was no money in that account and a transfer was necessary. VOTE: There were no objections. SO ORDERED. C-7. Resolution No. 96-73 - Transferring $6,000 in the Boating Facility Enterprise Fund for Repair of Dock Piling. MOTION: Councilman Bookey MOVED for approval of Resolution No. 96-73 and Councilman Measles SECONDED the motion. There were no public comments. When asked the time frame for repairing the pilings, Kornelis answered around September 26 which would be a set of high tides. A thinner mix of concrete would be pumped in by Tri-City Construction. Bookey noted there was a large difference between the bids and asked if Kornelis was comfortable with the Tri-City bid. Kornelis answered, no, but that Tri-City had always done good work. VOTE: There were no objections. SO ORDERED. BREAK TAKEN: 8:00 P.M. BACK TO ORDER: 8:15 P.M. ITEM D: COMMISSION/COMMITTEE REPORTS Council reviewed the commission, committee and board attendance report. Swarner noted Kelly Gifford had missed two meetings of the Parks & Recreation Commission also. No directions were given in regard to attendance concerns. D-1.

Parks & Recreation Commission Councilman Bannock reported there was no quorum for the last Parks & Recreation Commission meeting. He added, it had been a long time since they were unable to hold a meeting due to a lack of a quorum. D-6. Planning & Zoning Commission Councilman Smalley reported a copy of the minutes of the September 11, 1996 Commission meeting were included in the packet. Smalley reviewed the actions of the Commission. One item in particular was an application for a Conditional Use Permit for a Bed & Breakfast for five months of the year and then rent as apartments the rest of the year. Testimony given discussed the concern of the impact to the other properties in the area. The CUP request was denied. Smalley also reported Mr. Booth resigned due to a class at the college being offered on meeting nights. Council reviewed copies of applications for placement on the Commission were included in the packet, as well as Barbara Nord's added at the beginning of the meeting. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 18, 1996 PAGE 12 Mayor Williams asked for recommendations from council. There were none. Williams offered Barbara Nord for appointment due to her involvement in the Beautification Committee and knowledge of the real estate business. (It was noted the code did not restrict commission, committee or board members from appointment to more than one commission, committee or board other than the Personnel Arbitration Board.) Council had no objections to the appointment of Nord. Freas was requested to write to all the applicants and let them know their applications would remain on file. She was also requested to write a thank you letter to Booth and encourage him to apply for appointment in the future upon completion of his class. Councilman Bannock requested to return to his report on the Parks & Recreation Commission. He referred to the application from Cristel Fields who was interested in appointment to the Commission as its student representative. There were no objections. D-7. Miscellaneous Commissions and Committees D-7a. Beautification Committee Councilwoman Swarner reported the minutes of their September 10 meeting were included in the packet. She also reported there would be a memorial gathering for Loretta Breeden at the Leif Hansen Memorial Park on Sunday at 3:00 p.m. Swarner referred to the application of Karolee Hansen for appointment to the Committee. The application was distributed at the beginning of the meeting. There were presently two vacancies on the committee. There were no objections to the appointment of Ms. Hansen to the Committee. Swarner also noted there was a memorandum included in the packet from the Chair of the Committee requesting the Committee be allowed to suspend their November and December meetings and begin again in January. There were no objections from Council. D-7b. Historic District Board No report. D-7c. Challenger Steering Committee Kathy Scott reported the Committee had made a successful presentation to the Board of Education which endorsed the project KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 18, 1996 PAGE 13 with a great deal of enthusiasm. They also received confirmation from Alaska Aerospace that they would be holding their Board meeting in Kenai on October 10 at the Visitors Center. They are keenly interested in the project as well and have requested to have a board member included on the Challenger Center's Board of Directors. D-7d. Kenai Visitors 6 Convention Bureau Board Swarner reported she attended the September 9 Board meeting for Councilman Bookey. The Board discussed the new lettering on the building and passage of a resolution in support of the Lake Clark activities in Kenai and opposing the closure of their office in Kenai. Williams stated he attended a meeting when they announced that due to government cut backs the office would be closed. He believed it important there is a presence in Kenai. He and Ross had discussed some way of partnering with them and the Visitors Center to keep them here. Swarner suggested a similar resolution in support of the Lake Clark office be included in the next council packet for consideration. Administration was requested to prepare a similar resolution. Kim Booth reported they still had 200+ visitations to the Visitors Center. 50% of people in the last week were international visitors. The Center would be open seven days a week during winter hours. Smalley stated he talked with Frank Fiala and was told that due to his classification status with the government, they wouldn't be able to afford to keep him in Kenai. However, the government may be convinced to leave the facility and have someone else her with a lower GS status. Ross reported he talked with Fiala and then his boss, Mr. Pierce. Pierce indicated there was a possibility their presence could continue in Kenai in conjunction with the Visitors Center if the political objections don't work. Williams asked Booth if there would be off ice space available in the Visitors Center. Booth answered no, but they could continue their presence as a guest service, etc. Williams stated he would like the Visitors Center to work with Ross to draft a resolution which expressed council's strong desire to have their presence maintained. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 18, 1996 PAGE 14 ITEM E: MINUTES Board of Adjustment Hearing of September 4, 1996/The Matter of Michael R. Christian/Prime Residential Zone. (Williams noted council should review the minutes of the Board of Adjustment Hearing and report back to Attorney Graves as to their decision on the matter.) Approved by consent agenda. E-2. Regular Meeting of September 4, 1996. Approved by consent agenda. ITEM F: CORRESPONDENCE None. ITEM G: OLD BUSINESS G-1. Discussion - City Manager Search. Ross referred to the advertisement and additional information in regard to the city manager search which was included in the packet. He stated he wanted to accomplish a sense of direction and approval of the advertisement. He also noted that some of the lead-in dates for publications would require the advertisement be started the last of October in order to have the 45-60 day period of time council had requested. Bookey asked why no faxed applications would be accepted. Ross answered because sometimes the applications can be lengthy and the transmission may not be real clear. It is better to have the original to use for copying, etc. There were no objections to the time table presented. Smalley suggested adding, under "Qualifications," the applicant should have knowledge of airports, ports and/or legislative ability as they are issues in which he would want someone to have knowledge. In further review, council agreed a. Remove having experience size community" as it might deter from applying. b. Add "legislative" before C.

Add the city's Internet address (but not place the advertisement on the home page information). Administration was directed to start the publications and re- draft the information page to place in the October 14 work session packet. Other information for council review would also be included in that packet and the packet would be forwarded to council early to allow them time for review. There were no objections. G-2. Approval - Contract with K. Scott & Associates/Public Health Nurse Rental Space Review. Council referred to the contract with K. Scott & Associates for review of the Public Health Nurse rental space. MOTION: Councilman Bannock MOVED to enter into a contractual agreement for a not -to -exceed amount of $5,000 with K. Scott & Associates in regard to the relocation of the Public Health Service in Kenai. Councilman Bookey SECONDED the motion. Williams asked if there were any objections to unanimous consent. There were none. SO ORDERED. ITEM H: NEW BUSINESS H-1. Bills to be Paid, Bills to be Ratified MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED to pay the bills and Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. H-2. Purchase Orders Exceeding $2,500 MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED for approval of the purchase orders exceeding $2,500 and Councilman Measles SECONDED the motion. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 18, 1996 PAGE 16 MOTION TO AMEND: Councilman Bannock MOVED to amend the motion and remove Prescott Equipment for $6,000 and Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. Smalley noted the purchase order for street lights was in the amount budgeted. He asked if council wanted to do something else. Ross stated that if the cost was less than what the purchase order was for, the money would not be spent. VOTE ON AMENDED MOTION: There were no objections. SO ORDERED. H-3.

Ordinance No. 1720-96 and Appropriations by Fund Entitled "Taxiway Introduced by consent agenda. - Increasing Estimated Revenues $125,000 in a New Capital Project Extension North." H-5. Discussion - FAA Cleanup of EOF Land (Antenna Farm). Ross reported he passed a copy of the FAA letter to Public Works Director Kornelis and requested he and Engineering Technician Clark do an assessmentof the buildings to see if any were worth removing or had value to the city for relocating elsewhere. Kornelis passed out information in regard to the assessment. Kornelis reported the only buildings they thought worth relocating were Buildings 30 and 14. He estimated the cost to relocate the buildings at $14,000 with a concrete slab. Building 417 would require a new roof at an estimated cost of $5,000. Kornelis added, they recommended all the underground storage tanks be removed and an environmental assessment be done on the property prior to taking it over from FAA in case of contaminated soils. Kornelis stated when he talked with local FAA people, they were unaware of the letter or the proposed assigning of the property. Because of that, he had no idea of a time frame in regard to the property, removing of buildings, clean-up, etc. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 18, 1996 PAGE 17 Williams stated he talked with Ross in regard to using one of the buildings for storage of city records, etc., if it was weather- proofed. Kornelis stated the worth of the buildings to the city would depend on whether the FAA was going to charge the city for them. The shop building could be used to extend the maintenance office. Bookey stated he agreed with the need for additional space for the maintenance office, but questioned whether moving the building, etc. would be cost effective. He added, he was not sure the metal -framed trailer would be a good place for storing documents. Kornelis stated the trailer had been maintained very well. Ross asked if FAA had given a time frame for removal of the buildings. Kornelis answered no, and added, possibly two years. Ross suggested the discussion could be addressed at budget work sessions and Kornelis could indicate an interest in the buildings in the meantime, not making a commitment at this time. Discussion - New Street Lights. Council reviewed the list of street light requested which was included in the packet. Swarner questioned why two were listed as costing only $25. Kornelis answered, those lights would be hung on existing poles. Swarner requested those lights be moved up on the list and make sure they were hung. Kornelis explained the list was compiled by requests/ recommendations through Public Works and the Police and Fire Departments. Council reviewed the list and decided to fund the following: 1. Set Net Drive and Set Net Court 2. Lot 17, Set :net Drive. 3. Swires - Entrance to Mt. View Elementary. 5. Lawton - Between Tinker & Wooded Glen. 9. Haller and Third. 10. Haida Street (one of 10, 11, or 12). 13. Candlelight & Kaknu. 14. Candlelight & Kiana. 15. Cook, Mission & Upland. 16. Colonial & Linwood. 19. Togiak & Nevada. Council felt the necessity was not there, at this time, to place a light at the exit of Mt. View Elementary as most of the children walking would not be coming out from the school there; lights 6, 7, and 8, along North Forest Drive were the KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 18, 1996 PAGE 18 responsibility of the State (Kornelis was asked to check the progress of the Forest Drive upgrade and lighting status for that project, finding out if the scope of the project is the same as it had been); and, the light to be placed on Haida should be chosen from the three, which one was the most needed. The remainder of the lights should be kept on the list for next year's budget. There were no objections from council to the list of lights to fund. EXECUTIVE SESSION - None scheduled. ITEM I: ADMINISTRATION REPORTS I-1. Mayor a. Ribbon -Cutting Ceremony - Williams reminded council the ribbon -cutting ceremony for the Spur Highway upgrade was moved to September 24, 1996 at 1:30. b. Garcia Building - Williams reported he had received a letter from the attorney representing Chris Garcia in regard to the building being constructed on a portion of Cunningham Park. Williams added, the letter stated the attorney had been retained to help in negotiating and determining what could and could not be done. One issue was whether Garcia and the city could swap land for like value, i.e. swapping a portion of the city (Cunningham Park) on which the building is encroaching andrinerty return, Garcia would give the city an equal amount of property on bordering the other side of Cunningham Park. If the swap was possible, Williams suggested council again consider the purchase of the five acres of adjoining Lofstedt property. Williams reported he spoke with Lofstedt and he indicated he would be interested in selling the property for $250,000 and would take the money over time. Williams noted that might be able to be done as a capital project, paying it over a two-year period. Measles reminded council that they once considered purchasing the five acres when they were looking into the possibility of building a boat launch and adding more parking space to the park. He asked if council would want to enlarge the park even if it could not put in a boat launch. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 18, 1996 PAGE 19 Williams stated some of the reason for considering purchase of the property was because Garcia didn't want more people going on his property. At some time, in Williams' opinion, the river would be a drift -only fishery and an egress from the river would be needed. The purchase of the property would be for use in five to ten years. Williams noted, in any event, Garcia will come back with a plan. Attorney Graves was asked if the substitution of property would be acceptable. Graves answered, he thought the substitution of property would be more palatable. If the city gave a portion away, the question would be whether that would breach the agreement for the property from the donors. Graves added, he would research case law. Williams added, without an exchange of property, the only alternative for Garcia would be to tear the building down. Smalley noted, that was why Garcia retained an attorney. He added, he personally was uncomfortable with giving, trading or selling city property because someone built on the property. It would be setting a precedent. C. Economic Forum - Williams reported he would be traveling to Anchorage to attend an Economic Forum organized by Mayor Mystrom. d. Nakamura Letter - Councilwoman Swarner referred to a draft of a letter to at the Division of Public Health which was included in the packet. The letter was written in support of the Parent Support Program and the need to continue the program through the Kenai Health Center. There were no objections from council to send the letter. I-2. City Manager a. City Safety Plan - Ross reported the city's safety plan was in the final review mode. Language change the wording of who is ultimately responsible for carrying out the City Safety Plan within the departments and city from the Safety Department to the department heads and the city manager. The Safety Department responsibility is to make calls referencing problems seen, but primarily to provide technical and resource assistance to the departments. There were no objections from council. Also, the Alcohol & Drug Screening policy required a correction in regard to when a CDL who has been randomly selected for drug/alcohol testing. At present, the Plan classified random drug testing CDL's along with CDL's being tested due to a citable accident or reasonable suspicion. As written, the random drug KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 18, 1996 PAGE 20 tested individual would not be able to return to work until the test results were known. That is not a requirement of federal law in regard to CDL's and seemed very unreasonable. In reviewing it, legally there was no reason why the random drug tested individual could not return to work and drive city equipment before the results were known. That correction was made. b. Time Sheets/Exempt Employees - Ross reported another issue was the ordinance, passed in April, in regard to exempt employees and completion of time sheets (non -accumulation of overtime and non -accumulation of compensatory time). In researching the matter, it was found the ordinance was in conflict with state statutes. An ordinance, with the minor change, would be included on the October 2 agenda for introduction. C. Chamber Board of Directors Meeting - Ross reported he attended the Chamber Board meeting. The Chamber Board was very interested in filling the city's liaison position. There are two other liaison positions on the board which are non -voting. He suggested to the Chamber it would be a good opportunity to see if the City of Kenai position should be a non -voting position as well. The Chamber is researching their by-laws and historical information in that regard. Ross requested council to consider the city's liaison position to be an elected official of the city instead of a member of the city administration. I-3. Attorney No report. I-4. City Clerk Clerk Freas reported ballots were available for absentee balloting in her office for the precincts of Nikiski 1, Nikiski 2, Salamatof, and Kenai 1, 2, 3, 4. 1-5. Finance Director No report. I-6. Public Works Director Kornelis reported he traveled to Juneau and met with DEC personnel to review the city's grant application. They went over the application point by point. He would have a resolution on the next agenda which would specify the city's first priority because DEC would award an additional 50 points with the KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 18, 1996 PAGE 21 resolution. Though the application has already been submitted, DEC told him they would allow the resolution to added to the package. I-7. Airport Manager Airport Manager Ernst reported a Float Plane Basin report was included in the packet for council review. He also reported the tower's new hours were set at 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., beginning October 1. ITEM J: DISCUSSION J-1. Citizens a. Karen Koester - Thanked council for funding the two street lights she requested during budget sessions. She requested council consider placing the third light as a high priority in next year's funding. Williams stated the light would remain on the list and work its way up in priority. b. Bob Peters - Peters reminded council there would be an election before the next council meeting during which the library proposition would be considered. He reported there were still tickets available for the "Emerald City Getaway" drawing. He also thanked council for their consideration in saving the bluff. J-2. Council Bookey - No report. Swarner - Requested evaluations be scheduled during the October 2 and 16 council meetings for the City Clerk and City Attorney. There were no objections from council. It was decided City Attorney Graves' evaluation would take place during the October 2 meeting. MOTION: Councilwoman Swarner MOVED to purchase needed coffee, tea, plates, etc. for the Loretta Breeden memorial service from the Legislative account. Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. Moore - No report. Measles - No report. Bannock - No report. Smalley - a. Dipnet Season Costs - Smalley asked if the documentation of actual costs to the city for services and KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 18, 1996 PAGE 22 supplies related to the extended dipnetting season had been assembled as council had discussed sending the State a bill for those amounts for its imposition to the city for the season. Williams asked that Clerk Freas check with the Board of Fisheries as to their next meeting as he wanted to send a letter to them with that documentation and say the dipnetting season put the City of Kenai in a tenuous situation and cost a great deal of stress in regard to liability issues and the city would like to address them one more time with the issue. b. Spur Highway Upgrade - Smalley reported there were already places along the highway where the new grass had been driven on by vehicles. C. Spur Highway Contractor Dirt Pile - Smalley suggested that if the contractor's dirt pile was going to stay during the winter, a safety fence be placed around it. Kornelis stated he had talked with the contractor about the dirt pile. He will forward the council's concerns and tell the contractor a fence needs to be placed for safety. Williams requested Kornelis also tell the contractor the driveway breaks along the highway needed to be filled in with curb in order to keep vehicles off the grass, etc. Kornelis was asked to insist the concrete curbing be placed prior to completion of the project. Swarner also reported there was a hole in the bike trail between the creek and Rogers Road on the Pizza Hut side. Williams also reported the new culvert by KMart had been damaged. It was also reported there was a wrecked car on Swires Extended. Kornelis reported he had discussed with council before about having the guard rail removed along the Highway by the gully so that the sidewalk would be able to be plowed during the winter for pedestrian use. He added, it appeared the guard rail was not needed there at all and he would ask the State if they would pull it out. Council consensus was to have the railing removed. ITEM R: ADJOURNMENT The meeting adjourned at approximately 10:15 p.m. Minutes transcribed and submitted by: Carol L. Freas, City Clerk KENAI CITY COUNCIL PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION WORK SESSION September 16, 1996 Kenai City Council Chambers Council Present: Williams, Smalley, Measles, Bookey, Moore, Swarner and Bannock. Commission members present: Christian, Geocke, Quade, Bryson and Glick. Staff present: Kebschull, Graves, Ross, Kornelis, Morris, Burnett, DeForest, Elson. Others present: Stan Steadman, Ethel Claussen, Hugh Chumley. Mayor Williams opened the work session at 7:00 p.m. He requested Stan Steadman give a short report regarding activities of the Economic Development District. Steadman Report: Steadman distributed copies of the May, 1996 Progress Report. He informed Council and Commissioners that a few days prior, through Representative Young's office, a $1 million grant was awarded to them. Having the grant will allow them to pay off the debt with the bank and renovate the EDD building for use by the incubator program. EDD projects Steadman reported on were: a. Small Business Assistance Program -- This project was very successful. They issued loans to 14 small businesses in the area. They are also having an analysis done by a person who has had a lot of experience with incubator programs in Kansas. b. Alyeska Alloys Project (bringing iron ore from Chile and interacting with natural gas) -- The project is progressing. A site was chosen in Tyonek and will positively affect the Borough's tax base. C. Volcano Project -- This project is in the developmental stages. d. Shellfish Hatchery -- This project will be operated by EDD for the shellfish group . e. Youth Enterprise Project - This project was very successful and the city was very supportive, involving their Handiworks group with a timber -cruising project for the city. That group then worked for the Salamatof Native Association, who were so impressed with the program, they are planning to integrate it with their summer youth program. KENAI CITY COUNCIL/PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION WORK SESSION SEPTEMBER 16, 1996 PAGE 2 f. Port Graham/Study of Pink Salmon - Port Graham submitted an application to Exxon for funding to conduct a study on pink salmon. Because of their tax status, they contracted with EDD and Fish & Game, who subcontracted the work back to Port Graham. g. Ice Rink Study - Mark Whetherstone gave a short review of the Ice Rink Study which was completed by EDD with which he was involved as the RCMD coordinator. They reviewed the draft report of EDD and added information to the report. They were asked to report on economic impacts that would affect the Borough, as well as those from the building of the Nikiski facility. Whetherstone stated he would supply the city with ten additional copies of the report. Williams requested council and P&Z to review the report and add their comments. h. Sakhalin, Russia & Okita, Japan - Steadman explained EDD had been facilitating visits of students, professionals, etc. from these areas to the Kenai/Soldotna area. Steadman stated they were wanting to know if this involvement was to continue or if they should pursue it. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DISCUSSION: Carl Glick, Chairperson of the Planning & Zoning Commission reported the Commission had worked on the Comprehensive Plan Update for some time and finished their work on it nine months prior. He noted, some of the items discussed in the 1992 update came forward, others had nothing done, i.e. Kenai Spur Highway upgrade (soon to be completed) and the upgrade of pedestrian/bike paths on Forest Drive (not yet begun). Commissioner Bryson reported there were some areas of the update abotu which the Commission had diversely different views. One of the areas was development along the Spur Highway. The upgrade didn't change access to the highway, yet it is a more imposing road. There had been a request to change zoning on two lots (from residential to commercial) across from KCHS, but the residents there were very opposed to allowing commercial development in that area. Bannock also noted the possibility of changing that zoning was a major point of contention. He added, he believed the plan should be a report of where the city came from, but also, what it wants for the future. He believes the Spur corridor should be KENAI CITY COUNCIUPLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION WORK SESSION SEPTEMBER 16, 1996 PAGE 3 commercial, one lot deep with obvious exceptions where there are already residences. He would want to encourage the availability of becoming a commercial zone a good thing. Carl Glick noted the discussion of the library did not include the proposed addition. Swarner noted "wheelchair" was misspelled in that portion of the report. Williams spoke about the tax base and how information regarding economic trends should be used when planning for the future. Geocke noted the reports say there are more jobs in the area, but they are not the kind of jobs that pay wages to sustain increases in the mill rates, etc. Councilman Moore stated the unemployment rate had alarmed him and he would like the city to keep focused on businesses that are not seasonal. Williams stated his concern the population decline had to do with the lack of building lots in Kenai. Bannock stated he would like more information placed at Page 23 in regard to the Spur Highway corridor. Glick noted that on Page 26(a), a statement was included in regard to commercial development "at strategic locations along the Spur Highway..." Bannock stated he thought the statement should be stronger, i.e. not just to "encourage" commercial development. Williams suggested waiting to see how the neighborhood reacts to the Spur Highway upgrade. People may be more interested in development commercial development in that area. Smalley agreed. Smalley discussed the increase in student enrollment at the various area schools and suggested the Kenai Elementary School be renovated to be able to be used as a school again. Those entities now using the school could be moved to the Old Carrs Mall. Other suggested additions to the Plan were: a. Page 28, expound on Marathon Road use (for the ARFF and Challenger Center. Include a copy of the ARFF layout drawing). b. Information regarding the Public Health Nurse space needs. C. New court house should be mentioned, pointing out the building is cit- owned for eight years and at that time it will be turned over to the State. d. Page 52 or 71, information should be included regarding the proposed year -around skating multi -use facility. e. Old Town Park should be included as it was just dedicated and updated through efforts by the Rotary Club and City. Williams also suggested a new park be developed along the green strip between the highway and Lawton Drive. The area could KENAI CITY COUNCILTLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION WORK SESSION SEPTEMBER 16, 1996 PAGE 4 be made handicap accessible and perhaps the Lions Club could get involved with its development, instead of the park area by the Oilers field, as they previously proposed. f. Page 53 should include information regarding the upgrade of Municipal Park playground and the Park Strip park. Marilyn Kebschull reported the Borough has included $30,000 in their budget each year (for the last two years) to pay for updates to Comprehensive Plans. Last year Soldotna received the funds and this year Homer did. Soldotna hired a consultant to do the update and the update included color maps, etc. She suggested council and Planning & Zoning may want to consider requesting the funding for the next update Kenai does. Williams requested the changes discussed be included in the council packet for review at the October 2, 1996 council meeting. Hugh Chumley - Chumley stated he resides at 309 Princess Lane and felt, as a developer, the council and Commission were giving mixed signals through their discussion during the session. He stated he had tried to change the zoning for two lots in front of his home (along the Spur) to commercial and was turned down due to public outcry. Yet, his residence is in front of where the ARFF will be placed and there seemed to be no concern that it, as a commercial development, could be a concern by himself and other residents along Princess and Magic Lanes. He added, if the Commission was making their decisions by public outcry, he could find developers to state their complaints as well. He did not think the session was giving out a signal to developers that they were encouraging development. Kebschull also asked if council was wanting maps to be updated. If they were, they may not be able to have them available by October 2. Williams requested the changes and ordinance for approval be included in the October 2 agenda for introduction. Along with those items, have a memo informing council of any extension of time that may be needed before ratification in order to have the maps updated. BREAK TAKEN: 8:54 P.M. BACK TO SESSION: 9:05 P.M. KENAI CITY COUNCI14TLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION WORK SESSION SEPTEMBER 16, 1996 PAGE 5 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT LIST DISCUSSION: Williams stated the funding for CIP projects would probably diminished again this year. There was a move afoot to take funding away for Governor's matching grants and go back to the 1/3, 1/3 and 1/3 funding. Also, this year there was a heavily contested senate seat race as well as a new representative in junior standing, which may lessen the city's chances in receiving funding. Williams added, it was unknown at this time how the Public Health Nurse issue would end or what costs may be involved or whether the state will help with the costs. Some funding for the Challenger Center could come from a state agency. Their public relations contractor stated they could raise one-half of the funds needed to build the facility. For the rest, they may need to make a separate request for funding to the Governor. He added, in order to get that extra funding from the Governor, it may be necessary to hire a lobbyist. He indicated Ashley Reed, who had been the lobbyist for the city in the past, has a close relationship with the Governor as well as the State Board of Education. He asked council if they would be willing to listen to a plan from Reed. Williams also stated he had already talked with Reed and told him if council was willing to talk with Reed, Reed will. have to come with a plan, as well as being sure to forward reports to council and on -time billings, etc. Discussion followed regarding Reed. Bookey commented he was not sure Reed had brought anything to the city and didn't have a lot of faith in him. Smalley stated he could be very effective with the legislature at this time. Williams noted effectiveness is sometimes hard to measure. Bannock asked if it would be an advantage or disadvantage to have Reed working with Northwest Strategies. Williams noted he could help in other areas as well. Smalley stated he was not willing to go into a contract with him at this time, but would listen to a plan in order to make a decision. Swarner and Bookey agreed with Smalley. Council referred to Resolution No. 96-69 which was included in the packet of information for the session. The resolution was to list the city's FY98 Capital Project Matching Grant Program projects and request state funding. Kornelis requested council inform him of what project they wanted to list. Funding to request was calculated at $210,257. The city's match amount would be 30%. Council agreed to have one project for the amount of $210,257 and it to be "Water Quality and Quantity Development Program." KENAI C= COUNCIL,TLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION WORK SESSION SEPTEMBER 16, 1996 PAGE 6 William suggested the Governor's Matching Grant Program be placed as Item No. 1 on the city brochure. Kornelis reported DEC suggested he add to the three DEC grant requests a Phase I of the upgrade of the STP for the amount of $302,000 because it will be a big costly project. DEC wanted to do a Phase I first to do the plans and specifications, etc. Because the brochure did not have to be completed at this time, council requested the item be placed on the October 2, 1996 agenda.

This is the program that gave the city $100,000 for the Dunes Project that we will be bidding September 26, 1996. The proposals for the new projects are due October 31, 1996. I received a suggestion from ADF&G for a project on the south side of the Kenai River Mouth. The project would be to provide better access for the dip net fishermen. I know council has discussed extending Cannery Road to a new parking lot. It may be possible to build a parking lot on high ground for two (2) wheel drive vehicles and provide an access road near the parking lot for 4x4 access to the beach so they could drive down the beach to the mouth of the river. Does Council have any suggestions for "Threshold and Evaluation Criteria" that projects. I need some Council submit. direction projects?

BOX 1068 NOME, ALASKA 99762.1068 PHONE: (907) 443-5457 FAX (907) 443-2409 The Department of Community and Regional Affairs is charged by statute with determining the July 1, 1996, population of each municipality for FY 98 State Revenue Sharing and Municipal Assistance Program purposes. The population of the City of Kenai has been determined to be 6,950. If you do not agree with this figure, you may request an adjustment. A written request for a population adjustment, including supporting documentation, must be postmarked no later than November 1, 1996. The request must be supported by a method of population determination approved by this department. For municipalities with populations of less than 1,000, the department requires that a "head count" census be used. Municipalities with 1,000 or more residents may use a "head count census" or the "housing unit" method which includes specific statistical measures. The department also requires that a municipality's population determination methods be fully documented and that the governing body of the municipality pass a resolution adopting the results of the census. If you choose to request an adjustment, the enclosed booklet provides additional information on population procedures and the "housing unit" method of population determination. Those cities planning on conducting a population estimate using the "housing unit" method are strongly encouraged to contact Laura Walters before beginning any population surveys. Ms. Walters is responsible for validating acceptable statistical approaches. Should you have any questions regarding this population determination, please call Laura Walters, Research Analyst, or Bill Rolfzen, State Revenue Sharing Program Administrator, at 465-4750.

We, the Swinging 'SGlden viris of '.enai, would like to express a few of our concerns and ideas about being charged to attend line dancing classes. First, and foremost, we are happy to be able to exercise in an enjoyable way, keeping hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and other disabling diseases at bay. Second, we do not feel that we should be charged to attend dance classes because: 1. We fee' that the Kenai Senior Center should sponsor us. The center tells us who can and cannot dance with the group (only seniors); what we can wear (with r.c regard to what it's going to cost us personally); when we are scheduled to dance, etc. 2. We represent the seniors of Kenai and advertise fcr the center. 3. We alreaty pay for all trips (van use), hotels, costumes and assessories, meals, etc. These expenses add up quickly. 4. We feel an added monthly expense will make it necessary for some dancers to discontinue attending, and will discourage others from joining. S. Any monies donated have not been acknowledged; if our expenses grow, we would suggest fund raisers or donations. Page 1 of 2 Mayor John Williams City of Kenai 210 Fidalgo Ave. Kenai, Alaska 99611-7794 Dear John, Thank you for your land and generous letter. Gene loved Kenai and was always enthusiastic about the city's future and accomplishments. He would be so proud to have a living memorial in his name, in Kenai. Please thank the City Council members for this tnbute, on behalf of our family. And thank you, John. Sincerely, Phyllis Morin and Family RECEIVED R SEP 1 7 1996 KEAI CITY CLERK:' Lastly, we understand that our instructor is paid $25.00 per class at the Kenai Recreation Center. This fee was being paid long before we started line dancing and has not changed in ten years. This money helps pay for time, tapes, CD's, magazines, videos, tape player, insurance, copies of dances, and emergency medical training. The instructor is not compensated for any performances, travel time or expenses, or additional time spent. We realize that it has been suggested that we have a volunteer instructor from our group. That has been tried in the past, and frankly, it just hasn't provided the motivation the group needs to survive. We are very happy with thinas as they are now and don't feel that increasing the individuate cost to persons on fixed incomes would significantly affect the City of Kenai's budget. Furthermore, this program is beneficial in maintaining the health, both mentally and physically, of seniors in the area. The more physically active we stay, the healthier we stay. This alone assists the community in controlling it's costs by reducing emergency medical calls to our homes, reducing home health care assistance we require, reducing the need for specialized housing and transportation, etc. Wouldn't you agree, his is ultimately the best method cf controlling annual costs? We strongly urge you to reconsider your thoughts on this issue and refrain from imaplementing any changes to the current program. Thank you for _✓our time and consideration.

OF KE^41A Dear Kenai Peninsula Delegation: Thank you for your August 26 letter concerning our August 23 meeting which commits to paper your understan generally concur with your letter, I felt adinup e of o ecmeefi� tionS Although I made. should be 1. The word "realignment" of the K-Beach/Sterling Hi may not be the right word. We are committed to make capacity section improvements next summer. These will have to be worked around utilities and be within the right of way. It is still t the work will consist ooo early to tell what f but we envision additional lanes and perhaps signal modifications. Until our engineers have completed their field reviews and begun preliminary design, we cannot be more specific. These improvements are intended to be an interim measure until the Soldotna Urban project is constructed. 2. We committed to pedestrian improvements across the Kenai River Bridge - Soldotna if feasible. What we have found so far is that adding a pedestrian walkway, to the outside of the bridge will exceed the structural design of the bridge during a seismic event. The cost to remedy this problem is approximately $2.8 million which essentially reconstructs the bridge. Since reconstruction of the bridge is part of the Soldotna Urban project, and beyond our intent in 1997, we are exploring another option. Apparently the driving surface of the bridge Is 30 feet, plus there is a 3 foot raised walkway on each side. We are now looking at the feasibility of narrowing and expanding the walkway on one side to sevehe n fe g surface to 26 feet 25A-T34LH Kenai Peninsula Delegation Page 2 September 10, 1996 3. We committed to separate the K-Beach/Poppy Lane pathway from the K—Beach road project and score it as a TRAAK project at our August 27, 1996 Project Evaluation Board Meeting. We also agreed to extend the pathway from Poppy Lane to the Bridge Access Road which was not included in the original combined road/pathway project. The project scored 69.8 points which places it in the FY 1998 program for construction. Design will be accomplished in 1997. This score assumes the city or borough will maintain the path. If DOT&PF is required to maintain the path the score will drop considerably and construction will not start until 2001. We will discuss this with the city or borough and would appreciate your assistance. 4. The K-Beach road project has been included in the FY 1999 program. The project would include 3 lanes for its entire length and 6 foot shoulders where possible. The original project only had 3 lanes from the Sterling to just past Poppy Lane and it had minimal shoulders. Our estimate for this work is approximately $5 million. Due to the Kenai Spur 0-2.8 being constructed during the 1997 and 1998 summer seasons, there is no reason to advertise this job before the fall of 1998 which requires funding for the project in the FY 1999 program. 5. The Funny River Bridge E.I.S. has been revised at Federal request by this agency and we are satisfied with the product. However, we cannot forward it to the FHWA until the Alaska Department of Fish & Game supplies us with information regarding the lineal feet of river bank involved in the mitigation process. Once we have that it can go to FHWA. If -they are satisfied, it must be published in the Federal Register before FHWA can sign a Record of Decision (R.O.D.). This process will take several months. Once we have the R.O.D. we will rescore the project to determine where it will fit in our STIP. Thank you for meeting with me and for the opportunity to comment. We will be sending you copies of the revised STIP later this year. Sincer r n Joseph L. Perkins, P.E. Commissioner cc: John D.

I understand some of this material is good clean NFS fill that you plan to use on another project. If the pile is not going to be moved before the first snow, the City of Kenai would like you to put up a fence parallel to the Spur and one parallel to Lawton at the base of the pile. We are concerned that someone will be sledding on this hill and slide out into traffic. This hill is not to be used for sledding and maybe the fence will prevent an accident from unauthorized use. The topsoil and seeding of the entire area needs to be set up for next year after the hill is removed. A good time may be when the Spur landscape gets fertilized and watered next year. Would you please let me know your plans and schedule for this area so I can pass it on to our City Council.

These driveway cuts allow vehicles over the grass and bike path to Lawton and are causing tremendous damage to the grass. These driveway cuts will continue to be a problem to DOT maintenance in the future. I realize that the concrete subcontractor is from Anchorage and having them do this work would be very expensive. Perhaps a deal could be worked out with a local concrete company to do the work under force account at a lower cost.. I know we have talked about this many times in the past.

This is a great location to meet the city's needs and has a beautiful view. We appreciate FAA efforts to improve this area.

In order to complete our planning we need to know whether the City will want to use any of the buildings as they are with existing fuel tanks or does the City want FAA to remove all buildings and associated facilities. Not knowing which buildings FAA may need and wish to remove to another site, we would appreciate the City providing information what buildings the City could use if FAA was to leave them on site. Please provide this information by 9/27/96 so that we continue our planning. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at (907) 271-5875. Sincerely, James L. Oliver, Sr. Realty Specialist Property and Services Branch MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Williams and Council Members THROUGH: Rick Ross, Acting City Manager FROM: Keith Kornelis, Public Works Director�e DATE: September 18, 1996 SUBJECT: FAA Cleanup of EOF land (Antenna Farm) FOR: Council meeting of 9/18/96 Rachel Clark, Bob Springer, Steven Ramberg and I went through the FAA building located at the antenna farm with Edgar Anderson of FAA. Below is a list: 20. This is the main building of the Emergency Operators Facility, EOF. It was the old shop building and is approximately 30' x 60'. It is an old Buttler type building. It has a concrete floor, is sheet rocked inside and was added on to in different areas. It is the site of the "War Room." It would be very hard to move. 210. This is a very small storage building on skids. It is used for petroleum storage and only around 8' x 12'. 300. This is their present shop buildinq. It is around 30' x 40' and has a concrete floor. , 417. This building was part of the FAA National Defense Emergency Readiness program. I think this was a FAA and Air Force joint program. It is a double wide trailer on wood foundation. It is around 24' x 40'. They had a problem with the roof caving in from the snow load a few years back so it leaks a little. It needs some patch work but could be used as an office. I guess the Coast Guard Auxiliary has been using it for a meeting place. 600. This is the generator building. It is around 20' x 36', has metal siding and a concrete floor. A very nice 20KW generator is located in this building that only has 326 hours on it. Page 2 FAA (Antenna Farm) 9/18/96 Public Works looked at the buildings and discussed their condition and how they could be moved. We feel only two buildings would be advantageous to the city's use. These buildings and our rough cost estimate to move them are listed below: Number Building Cost to Move Concrete Total 300 Shop $8,000 $6,00O $14,000 417 Double Wide Trailer $5,000 -0- $ 5,000 Public Works recommends that we do NOT accept receipt of any underground fuel tanks. All fuel tanks need to be properly removed. We also recommend an environmental assessment be performed on this property prior to the city considering taking possession of this land. KK/kw Monday, September 30, 1996 11:01:34 AM City of Seward, Alaska i D , KENAI PENINSULA MUNICIPAL COALITION TOURISM ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE September 26, 1996 The Tourism Enhancement Committee of the Kenai Peninsula Municipal Coalition met at the Borough Building in Soldotna, Alaska, on Thursday, September 26, 1996. Present were: Chairman: Tim Navarre, Kenai Peninsula Borough Assemblymember Members: Jack Cushing, Homer City Councilmember Ken Lancaster, Soldotna Mayor Marianna Keil, Seward City Councilmember Visitors: Aleja Devito, Kenai Peninsula Borough Economic Development District Justine Polzm' Soldotna Chamber of Commerce Staff: Linda MLLrphy, Seward City Clerk Committee Goal: To increase tourism boroughwide Game Plan: Provide cooperative kiosks in each community within the Borough featuring points of interest (state and national parks, public facilities) throughout the Borough. Creation of a Borough Map showing area attractions (current, developing and proposed), transportation links, and available infrastructure (number of hotel rooms, restaurants, gas stations, public restrooms, etc.) To use as a marketing tool when working with cruise lines, travel agencies, booking agencies, etc. Each community will be asked to contribute S5,000 as a grant to the EDD to gather information ancf develop the Map. EDD will be asked to either take on the project internally -or act as a pass -through agency for funding a contract to develop the Map. Emphasis is to be placed on cruise ship passengers. First, through development of the Map, the Coalition must assess its current capacity to handle increased tourism and must inventory area attractions that would be of interest to cruise passengers. Second, the Coalition must ascertain what cruise passengers want to see and do once they reach the Peninsula. Members must then work together to develop or encourage development of recreational activities, visitor attractions and the infrastructure needed to attract and serve cruise passengers. Finally, elected Mayors or other elected officials of the Borough should meet with cruise industry executives and booking agents to sell the Peninsula as a destination.
