The expenses are high and while the group is receptive to donations they would rather earn their needed funds. The Kenai Boys Basketball group is proposing to offer their services to do a very thorough clean up around the City of Kenai's buildings including the parking lots. This would include: A). Sweeping up all the left over sand and trash in the parking lots. The street sweeper does not get the sidewalks and the nooks and crannies or corners of the parking lots. We would clean everything up. B.) Clean up of all the trash around the city building. This would include the cigarette butts and other garbage. (A noted problem.) C.) Moving of items such as bike racks for sweeping and proper placement for summer use. D.) Any other labor that the responsible department head might have for their building. The buildings that would be included: 1.) Airport Terminal. Very large parking lots- short term, long term, cafe and lounge, employee parking, sidewalks, and the aircraft parking area along the building. 2.) Public Safety Building. Front parking lot, police parking lot on the side, fire parking lot under canopy and in back. 3.) City Hall. Front and back parking lots and sidewalks front and back. 4.) Library. Front and side parking lots, sidewalks, and concrete deck. 5.) Recreation Center. Front loop and side and back parking lots and sidewalks. 6.) Senior Center. Front and side parking lot and sidewalks. 7.) Vintage Pointe Manor. Huge front parking lot and lots of sidewalks in front and back and around solarium. Kenai Boys Basketball is a group of 12 to 15 basketball players. They are willing to put in the time that it takes to clean around these city buildings until it meets the department heads 100 % satisfaction. They will be using their own equipment such as wheelbarrows, racks, shovels, brooms, etc.... I have talked to Stan Steadmen, EDD, and Mark Hodgins, Handy Works Adult Advisor, concerning using EDD and/or Handy Works contract and subcontracting or amending Handy Works contract with the city. They both said that something can be worked out under that contract or another. This is the Nikiski High School student group that worked for the city marking beetle infested trees. I estimate 2 or 3 full days to complete all this work for these young men. I propose the following payment for their services. Since the Airport is the largest area, I think $400 from the Airport Fund and $500 from the general fund for the remaining six buildings would be a reasonable cost. This is a total of $ 900. The adult supervisor, Jim Beeson, or myself will be with the workers at all times. We thank you very much for your consideration of this request.

This letter proposes cooperation with the City's plan to have Vassey Engineering perform a mixing zone study. The KPB understands that the study is estimated to cost approximately $10,000 to $12,000, and proposes that cooperation in funding be linked to the following conditions: • That the study be performed in the immediate future and be promptly completed; • that if washwater is ultimately granted for disposal and fees are assessed, that the KPB receive a credit against that disposal fee, in the amount study contributed; • and, that an additional 2000 gallons test batch be introduced to the WWTP, to allow a more representative sample to be evaluated. It is expected that floor washdown water accumulated under more normal operations (i.e. more hose work allowed) will be less severe in chemistry character. This will allow evaluation of an updated chemistry. Our sincere thanks to the Mayor's and Council's discussion at the latest meeting. We appreciate all your input and cooperation to date and trust that a workable solution does exist. Sincerely; PW/ M ' / rojects Division Walter L. Robson, P. E. Manager PW/Major Projects Div. cc: C.

MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Williams and City Council THROUGH: Tom Manninen, City Manager'rDlIr' FROM: Keith Komelis, Public Works Director DATE: February 15, 1996 SUBJECT: KPB Request to Dispose of Baler Wash Down Water at the Kenai STP FOR: Council meeting of 2121/96 Mr. Walter L. Robson and Kathy Mayer from the KPB have requested to be heard at the City Council meeting of February 21, 1996. Mr. Robson's letter of February 5, is in the packet. We have been told by EPA that our new NPDES permit is going to be much more stringent. We feel the baler wash down water and our effluent will require a mixing zone to meet EPA's requirements. A mixing zone is a designated area around the out fall discharge point where the pennittee is allowed to exceed the limitation of the permit. Obtaining a mixing zone for our wastewater treatment plant requires a lot of testing and an expert in this field. Vasey Engineering has such an expert and we are asking them for a proposal. They performed a leachate feasibility study for our plant. A rough cost estimate for the mixing zone study is $12,000.00. The KPB is asking to be allowed to discharge their baling facility floor wash down water into our sewer system. They suggest using their Kenai Transfer Station as a site for putting it into our system. The Kenai Peninsula Borough as a whole is in need of a properly built and maintained RV sewer dump site. This facility could be used by KPB and City of Kenai citizens. Maybe the .Kenai Transfer Station could also handle a nice properly built RV dump station. I would suggest that the KPB and the city work together to develop an RV dump site and baler wash down water receiving station at the Kenai Transfer. Maybe the KPB and the city could split the cost of the mixing zone study and the construction costs of building an - RV dump station.

HISTORY: As was mutually accepted by the City of Kenai and the Kenai Peninsula Borough, the evaluation of both the City of Kenai wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) for future loading purposes, as well as possible inclusion of floor wash down wastewater and leachate treatment through this plant, was published in a report in late 1994. The firm of Vasey Engineering of Seattle, Washington was chosen by the City of Kenai and retained through a Kenai Peninsula Borough grant for approximately $64,000. The scope of work was multi -faceted: • to review capabilities of the existing City of Kenai wastewater treatment plant; • to demonstrate adjustments and expansion capabilities; • to evaluate any possible conflicts which may arise by acceptance of the Borough's floor wash down water, • to make recommendations as to the successful introduction of any leachate or floor wash down wastewater flow into the Kenai WWTP. FINDINGS: It is anticipated that the Soldotna Baler Facility will produce approximately 70 to 140 gallons per day as listed in the Vasey report. In terms of flow, this is a population equivalent of .5 people. The floor washwater chemical tests were exhaustively reviewed by the Consultant and found to resemble, typical to diluted refuse wastewater. Post review of further lab sampling, two batches of washwater were introduced into the City's plant (Feb. 14, 1994, 400 gallons and April 19, 1994, 1500 gallons). The first load was trickled in over time and the second was loaded under normal flow considerations. The report demonstrates that no adverse impact over the day's flow was observed. "Moreover, the calculated increased loading from baler leachate is small relative to existing and future loading from the City of Kenai. Thus the treatment of baler facility leachate appears to be feasible with recommendations." REPORT RECOMMENDATIONS: Vassey's report was global in view and detailed in point. Aspects contingent with future City's WWTP expansions were emphasized as were recommendations pertinent to this request. This study will be advantageous for future development of the treatment plant, as growth continues in the City of Kenai. Regarding the introduction of strictly floor washwater, the report stated that relatively small volumes, approximately 2,000 gallons, can be discharged to the WWTP, over an eight hour period of time with no detrimental effects. A separate discharge tank could be established allowing isolation prior to sampling and control of discharge per City approval. One location proposed, by the Consultant was via the Kenai Transfer Station due to availability of space for storage tank and the existence of the City sewer service. Kenai Peninsula Borough appreciates the previous Councils' efforts, within the City Code, to allow cooperation to transpire between the various governmental agencies as is referenced in City of Kenai Municipal Code, Title 17.30.080. This code, through exemption, allow agreements to be established where the City can accept, from outside its boundaries, wastes for treatment in the City's WWTP. The KPB fully appreciates the present Councils review and consideration for this request. We will be available at the pertinent meeting date, to respond to any questions. In the interim please contact myself or Cathy Mayer, Manager of the KPB Solid Waste Division at 262-9657. An additional copy of the subject report is included.

IM 002 \Lt�;;(vasey engineering March 28, 1996 Mr. Keith Kornelis Public Works Director City of Kenai 210 Fidalgo Kenai, Alaska 99611-7794 1478 4th street 1215 4th avenue, suite 140G minden, nevada 89423 seattle, washington 98161 702-782-2382 206-682-8264 fax 702-782-7051 fax 206-682-8491 i-O Re: Wastewater Treatment Plant Mixing Zone Analysis Vasey Engineering is pleased to submit this proposal to prepare a nixing zone analysis for the City of Kenai wastewater treatment plant effluent discharge to Cook Inlet. We have completed several similar mixing zone analyses for municipal clients in Washington State and, thus, have the qualifications and experience to prepare your analysis in a timely and cost-effective manner. This proposal consists of our understanding of the background for the analysis, proposed scope of work, cost estimate, schedule and key staff to conduct the analysis. Back&Eound The City of Kenai recently applied for renewal of its NPDES discharge permit for the wastewater treatment plant. Effluent metals monitoring was conducted to supplement the application with results suggesting that a mixing zone is required to meet receiving water quality criteria established by the State of Alaska. Moreover, the treatment of leachate generated at the Kenai Peninsula Borough (IPB) baling facility may increase the requirement for a mixing zone to meet standards. A potential benefit of a mixing zone could be the relaxation of effluent coliform bacteria limitations, and a corresponding reduction of chlorine dosages for effluent disinfection. Based on these considerations, the objectives of the mixing zone analysis are to determine: the mixing zone required for the effluent discharge to meet applicable receiving water criteria; the impact of treating KPB baler leachate on the size of the mixing zone required; potential relaxation in effluent coliform limitations. Scope of Work Task 1. Data Acquisition A mixing zone analysis will require the acquisition of data that would be analyzed in order to determine critical design conditions and inputted into a dilution model. The data that will be required includes primarily the physical and chemical characteristics of the Kewiscp.doc Va/40/ob 10:54 FAX 206 682 8491 VASEY ENG. 9 003 letter to Keith Kornelis, page 2 KPB leachate characteristics will also be collected to supplement previous data and will be used to determine the significance of the leachate treatment on receiving water quality. Data sources include: City of Kenai WWTP effluent flow data, recently determined metals data, and outf dl plans; Kenai River data; City of Kenai potable water data; data from a local Unocal study; KPB leachate data; and oceanographic data from NOAA. Task 2. Dilution Modeling The mixing zone analysis will be based on a mathematical model of effluent dilution in a receiving water. Several models are available for use depending upon the critical conditions accepted by the regulatory agencies for use at the City of Kenai outfall site. A. Establish model and hydrodynamic conditions based on analysis of the data. 1. Determine critical design conditions. 2. Analyze data to determine model input. B. Perform dilution modeling 1. Determine the estimated dilution factors and metals concentrations at the mixing zone boundaries or at number of different distances from the outfall. 2. For the condition of no KPB leachate influent, determine the estimated dilution factors and metals concentrations at the mixing boundaries or at number of different distances from the outfall. Task 3. Report Preparation, Review, and Meetings A. Prepare a draft report that includes 1. Receiving water conditions and characteristics 2. Critical design conditions 3. Regulations pertinent to nixing zones and metals 4. Effluent flow and quality characteristics 5. KPB leachate characteristics 6. Description of dilution modeling 7. Results of dilution modeling 9. Results of the analysis of leachate effects 10. Conclusions and recommendations B. Meet with City of Kenai and Borough staff to review the draft report. Submit draft report, if requested by the City of Kenai, to ADEC and EPA for review. C. Prepare the final report incorporating continents received on the draft report.

OF KF^ cl;_;j�tisl O v I received the draft of the Alaska Challenger Center Feasibility Report on Friday and reviewed it over the weekend. Without doing a more in-depth analysis of the budget projections, I believe you have presented a valid baseline for the feasibility of a successful Challenger Center in Kenai. The only comments I have concerning the report's content occur in the introduction. My first observation is that your opening paragraph has no source credited for the information presented. I would also change the last word of the second paragraph to "enhancement." My last comment is to your reference in the third paragraph of an "international network." I suggest you not to refer to any international aspect of the Alaska Challenger Center. The current mission of the Learning Centers is national in scope. It was explained to me that one of the reasons the centers were able to get corporate sponsorship was based on a goal to improve U.S. students' international standing in math and science. Please call me if you have any additional questions.

Old Business 6. New Business a. Master Plan Informational Meeting Airport Manager Randy Ernst stated the meeting was an information meeting on the Master Plan Working Paper No. 1. Ernst introduced John Sanders and Freddie Comperchio of Aries and Patty Sullivan Planning Engineer from the FAA, and Debbie Roth of FAA Financing. Patty Sullivan stated she was an airport planner/engineer for the FAA. Sullivan stated she works with Ernst to assist in the development of the Master Plan and in the incorporation of what comes out of the Master Plan in the Airport Capital Improvement Program. Sullivan stated that is what the FAA uses to secure airport improvement program funds for the airport. Sullivan explained that the Master Plan is used to guide future development of the airport and it is an important, valuable document. It is something that is used all the time in their office. Sullivan stated she wanted to encourage everyone to participate in the process. Sullivan noted it is important to get input from the users and the community. Sullivan stated it is the community's airport so what comes out of the report will hopefully benefit everyone and will be what the community wants. Sullivan encouraged those in attendance to provide comments on the working papers that Aries will present. Sullivan states those papers are the forecasts and the inventories. They are used as the basis for the rest of the Master Plan, it is important to take time to look at them and to provide input. They are the first step and are built on. John Sanders of Aries Consultants explained that Aries is updating the 1987 Master Plan which they were also involved with. Sanders stated they are doing the airport planning portion of the work. But, there is a lot of other work that is being done that is a part of the study. Sanders stated they are doing the preliminary engineering work and cost estimates for the study. Sanders advised that Phil Bryson and Mark Blanning of Wince, Corthell, Bryson are in attendance and they are doing the engineering portion of the project. Sanders stated that one of the first things they did was to obtain new aerial photos of the airport and of the greater city area. These are being used as an accurate, more up-to-date basis for the work that Wince, Corthell, Bryson are doing and being used to make sure that the existing airport facilities are identified as best as possible. Also, some contours have been developed from the aerial photos that will help in making calculations that will be done during the study. Also, last summer pavement testing was done to look at the condition of the existing runway and taxiway system to find out the current conditions and what improvements need to be made in the future. Sanders stated that later some environmental assessments will be done. At least one for the improvements that will be identified in the Master Plan that will be needed before the actual development can take place. One improvement that has already been talked about is the extension of the taxiway out to the north end of the runway. Sanders noted there may be other projects that come out that are identified in the study that will also need environmental assessments. Sanders stated they are in the inventory and forecasting portion which is included in the document that everyone has a copy of. Sanders stated this document will serve as the basis for later parts of the study. After a sign off is received from the city and FAA on the forecasts, those numbers will be used to compare activity growth at the airport for the next 20 years against the existing facilities. This is how future requirements are identified, such as additional runway improvements, taxiway improvements, apron improvements, and what additional lease facilities in Airport Commission Minutes Page 2 March 14, 1996 subdivision need to be identified. That is the second phase. Sanders stated then they will be developing alternatives to see how these additional facilities can be accommodated. That information will be brought back to the city and the city will be given the opportunity to provide input on what they think should be planned or developed for the airport over the next 20 years. Sanders added that FAA and others will also be asked to provide input. After agreements are received, detailed plans will be prepared. These plans will serve as the basis for the documentation and is provided to FAA. FAA funds a lot of the improvements. Sanders stated he likes to emphasize that the money that is used by the federal government for these projects is not money that is paid by the general tax payer. This money is paid when traveling and using the airport system and is the 10 percent passenger tax and the other fees that are paid on tickets. Sanders stated they will also develop an implementation plan and a phasing plan. This plan will show how to get to what they think the airport should look like in 20 years. Sanders stated this plan will show what is thought to be the most important projects that should be completed in the next five years, how much will they cost, where is the money going to come from, etc. The same will be projected for the ten year and twenty year plans. Sanders stated that they will come back with the costs, drawings, and the implementation plan. Sanders noted that depending upon what the top priorities are an environmental assessment will be completed for those projects. Such as, expanding the taxiway out to the north end of the runway. Sanders explained that this is the program that will be worked on over the next few months. Sanders added that they will try to schedule the public meetings to coincide with the Airport Commission meetings. Later, public hearings must be held. Sanders stated that they have talked about having a joint public hearing with the Airport and Planning and Zoning Commissions prior to the recommended plan going to City Council for a public hearing. Sanders stated this is the informational stage now but later they will have the properly noticed public hearings. Sanders stated that he would like to report on the forecasts and existing facilities as included in the document. Sanders offered background noting they have looked at available historic and forecast population information that is available for the Kenai area, the Kenai Peninsula Borough, the state, and for the nation to look at growth trends that are being forecast for this area and how they compare to other areas. Sanders stated they had tried to get forecasts for economic activities but there don't seem to be any generally accepted for published forecasts that could be used. Because of this, they have talked to people involved in economic development or the airlines and other people who might have a feel for what might be happening at the airport in the future. Using the overhead, Sanders explained several charts from the Working Paper No. 1 document. Airport Commission Minutes Page 3 March 14, 1996 The first chart summarized historical passenger activity for the last 15 years. Sanders noted that between 1981 and 1989 the numbers went up and down. Kenai started at about 87,000 enplane passengers and ended at the same number. Sanders explained that an enplane passenger are the people getting on the flights in Kenai and that generally there are an equal number of people getting off the flights. In the last few years, and particularly in the last two years, the numbers have gone up. Sanders stated he felt this was primarily due to the fare war that went on for about a six or eight month period in 1994 and 1995. Kenai had 130,000 enplane passengers last year which is a record for the airport. Sanders explained that most of this activity is with commuter aircraft which range from the eight passenger craft up to the 50 passenger aircraft. In the last few years, there has been a significant increase in the number of passengers. The next table showed the changes in the aircraft operations over the last ten years. Sanders explained that air carrier showed a large number in 1987 and it decreased substantially after that. Sanders stated he thought that was due to a definition change that the FAA went through in the way they counted the aircraft operations. Sanders stated that at a lot of airports they counted the commuter aircraft as air carriers until the late 80's and then over time they switched and counted the commuter aircraft in the commuter air taxi category. Sanders noted that in recent years the chart shows relatively few air carrier operations. Those are primarily the large aircraft that are used for the fish hauls that are capable of carrying more than 60 passengers and the aircraft that are diverted from Anchorage are in this count. Sanders explained that the commuter air taxis which is a mixture of activity that includes the scheduled commuter flights, small packet flights such as DHL and Federal Express, and the unscheduled flights whether they be air taxis carrying passengers or freight and fixed -wing helicopters. These numbers are based on tower counts. Sanders noted that the Kenai tower is open from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Looking at scheduled flights, there are a lot of flights that take place outside of those areas. Aries adjusted for the forecast which makes the 33,000 become about 41,000 per year looking at a full 24 hour day. Sanders stated that future projections are made using the total number rather than just the numbers listed when the tower is open. The general aviation numbers are listed in two columns. The itinerant operations are basically the aircraft flying away from the Kenai area or back to Kenai and the local operations which are training operations. Training operations are about 55% of the general aviation total. General aviation is private flying whether for business, recreational or training activities and are typically included in this area. The military shows little activity in Kenai. Each landing and take off is counted as a separate operation. Sanders explained that when you fly to Anchorage and back that is counted as two operations. Touch and goes are also counted as two operations by the tower. Sanders stated the final count is about 78,000 operations last year as counted by the tower. When looking Airport Commission Minutes Page 4 March 14, 1996 at the full 24 hour period, Aries guesses it is closer to 86,000 to 87,000 operations in the year. Sanders stated another area that is forecast is based aircraft. These are the aircraft that are physically based at the Kenai airport. Aries got this information from the Borough. About 11 % of the aircraft in the Borough are based at the Kenai Airport. Addresses of this 11 % show that 73% of these people live in Kenai, 9% live in Soldotna, 8% in Nikiski, and the balance in other communities in the area. Sanders stated the number of based aircraft has remained steady over the past years. Sanders stated that they had also tried to break down operations between the main runway, the float pond, and the grass strip. Sanders said the tower estimates that of the general aviation numbers about 3% of the operations are on the grass strip in the summer and slightly over 3% are on the float pond. Sanders reported that the base year used was 1995. Looking at annual enplane passengers, there is modest growth. Sanders stated they believed that the last year had been a result of the price competition. Sanders stated they see the number of passengers increasing from about 130,000 to 170,000 passengers over the 20 year period. Scheduled aircraft departures show a very modest increase, from 12,000 in 1995 to 14,000 in the year 2015. Sanders stated they believed the reason for that is that there will be the same type of service as is available now, primarily the commuter service. Sanders explained that this type of service provides frequent flights with less passengers than using larger aircraft which operate less flights but hold more people and people seem to prefer the frequent flights. Sanders stated they expect to see more Dash 8 and Convair service over time and also expect the number of passengers per flight to increase. At the current time it is about a 50% load factor. Sanders reiterated they do not expect to see a tremendous increase in the number of flights but more larger aircraft over time to handle the passengers. Sanders explained that with the air cargo figures that not all of this is being reported. Sanders stated this is not unique to Kenai. This affects the projection forecasts. Sanders stated that there is a need to get a better handle on the cargo which goes through the airport whether it be cargo on passenger aircraft, cargo that is handled in the air taxi aircraft, as well as some of the bulk hauling. Sanders continued, in terms of aircraft operations, which shows 78,000 in 1995, Aries projects about a 20 percent increase to about 105,000 operations by the year 2015. Air carrier does not show any change. Commuter air taxi is seen as growing because of the scheduled flights and the package service. General aviation has been suffering in recent years. There are indicators that this may change in the next few years with changes in product liability law and changes in fact that people Airport Commission Minutes Page 5 March 14, 1996 will be manufacturing aircraft again. Thus, some change is shown in the general aviation activity. Sanders explained that in terms of the based aircraft, approximately 75 percent are single engine and 18 percent multi -engine, and the other 8 percent are helicopters. Sanders stated they see most of the growth in the multi -engine aircraft in the future. This is attributed to manufacture of this type of craft. Sanders stated he would like to talk briefly about existing facilities and then they would be open for questions. Sanders explained that they had made a comparison with previous forecasts that had been made for the airport. Using the overhead, Sanders explained a chart they had made showing these comparisons. Sanders stated they have been working to try to get an accurate inventory of existing airport facilities. Using a map, Sanders showed the airport land boundaries and stated it includes about 1200 acres. Sanders showed the main runway that is over 7500 feet, the float pond which is 3500 feet, and the grass strip of about 1000 feet. Sanders showed a chart of the terminal area and explained they will be looking at the forecasts to see how they relate to the existing facilities. From the passengers standpoint, is there enough space in the terminal apron to handle the commuter aircraft, is there enough space in the terminal building to handle ticketing, baggage claim and other activities that are needed to handle passengers. Based on aircraft operations forecasts and looking at other airport improvements, they will be looking at relocating the grass strip, looking to see if there is enough space in the general aviation subdivisions to the south and to the north of the terminal area and possibly lease lots for other activities that may want to come on the airport. Sanders stated the next part of the study is to relate those numbers to these existing facilities and then come up with the future requirements. Sanders, referring to a chart of the terminal, stated there is quite a bit of space with the loss of a carrier, but forecasts must be compared with current facilities. Sanders asked the audience if they had any questions. Knackstedt asked if there was an estimate on the error factor for the FAA's number of aircraft arriving or departing. Knackstedt stated the reason he asked the question is he wondered if it is a guesstimate or an exact number. Also noted that he noticed that the total aircraft of a particular category that arrived in 1989 was 51 but for that year it was 80 for instrument. Knackstedt asked if instrument Airport Commission Minutes Page 6 March 14, 1996 operations were a missed approach which would explain the difference and wondered how that affected the other numbers. Jim Krause, FAA, explained that every time a plane takes off or lands'it is counted by a clicker. Krause explained how the FAA counts flights and feels it is fairly accurate. Krause did note that one chart shows that in 1987 there was a fairly large number of air carriers and then it fell off to nothing. Krause stated he felt that Mr. Sanders' explanation was true and that they were not being counted correctly. For instance, they were counting a Dash 8 as an air carrier when it should have been an air taxi aircraft. Krause stated that the difference in the numbers in 1989 could be accounted for by multiple approaches, such as practice approaches. This would be an instrument count and not necessarily an operation. Krause noted he felt the numbers shown represented fairly what was occurring at the airport. Krause explained what he felt accounted for the numbers given, the decline occurring when Southcentral pulled out in 1992. Now they are back again but they don't have as many flights as before. Krause said he expects the numbers to level out and maybe start a slow growth upward. Ernst stated some of this may be attributed to a more efficient loading of planes, less operations but higher enplanements. Basically what is happening is that they are filling the planes more efficiently. Krause added there has been a subtle change in the last year and a half or so with ERA coming in with the bigger planes; however, the frequency of the flights don't seem to have changed. But, instead of coming in with a twin otter, every once in a while they come in with a Dash 8. Thus, operations are not increasing but enplanements are increasing. Krause stated that he wanted to mention that the military numbers were fairly stagnant over the years. One of the reasons for the military using Kenai was they were being chased out of the Anchorage area and Anchorage Airport and because of this these numbers may increase. Sanders stated it is very difficult to get any kind of handle on what the military is going to do. (Discussion on how the numbers had varied over the years.) Mayor Williams stated that Kenai had picked up the air rescue crew three or four years ago and picked up a couple new C130's along with this. Williams stated the Air Guard is more frequent with practice missions than the Air Force was. This could be the reason for the increase in figures. Sanders reiterated it is difficult to obtain information from the military because they don't know what they are doing. Knackstedt questioned the figure of 73 percent of the aircraft on the peninsula being owned by people who live in Kenai. Sanders clarified that the 73 percent was for aircraft based at the Kenai Airport whose owners have a city of Kenai address. Sanders explained further that out of 900 aircraft that are registered according to the Borough Assessor's Office, 100 are based at the Kenai Airport. Airport Commission Minutes Page 7 March 14, 1996 Sanders told the group that they would like to talk to Flight Service after the meeting to assure they are getting as good an estimate as possible for the study. Sanders stated that Aries would like any comments or questions to Ernst in the next couple weeks so the next phase of the study could move forward. Sanders added that the next meeting on the evaluation, the requirements, and the alternatives would be scheduled to coincide with one of the meetings in the late spring or early summer. Sanders noted the other thing they needed was a sign off from the FAA on the forecasts and were looking forward to FAA's (Sullivan's) response to that document. Ernst commented that when looking at the float plane facility as far as forecasts and the considering the possibility of extending the runway 500 feet, he wondered if the tower's help could be received to get a count on the usage. FAA tower representative stated that they don't keep a count for that facility but they did one summer. Mayor Williams stated that a lot of thought went into the facility before it was built. Since that time a lot of complaints have been made that the runway isn't long enough and it should be extended another 500 feet. Williams stated he felt that the question the council would look at is the number of float plane operations declining, can an increase be expected, and would an increase be expected if the runway was extended. Williams stated that without accurate counts not much can be done and asked if there was any way possible the city could get counts on the float planes over the next couple years. The FAA representative stated that it was done that one year and didn't see why it couldn't be done again. Sanders stated they have been able to do that in other situations and gave an example of another place where a count was needed for helicopters. Ernst asked if they could donate an extra clicker for the counts. Sanders noted that they had received quite a few comments on the float plane operations in terms of people preferring to use area lakes because it was more convenient. Aries representative Comperchio stated that the people she talked to stated it was easier to use their own lakes and docks rather than to come into the airport. The only thing that they needed was some type of fueling facility. In terms of basing, Comperchio stated that is probably why the airport doesn't have a lot of basing for float planes in the summer because people are basing at their homes. Ernst stated that this year there may be an increase because the automatic fuel system will be on line. Knackstedt added that a camping area was being created at the south end of the float plane basin which is not shown on the inventory. Sanders questioned the location of this facility and was shown on the map. Ernst stated it would be a small area and they are starting with six spaces with picnic tables, grills, and water may be available. Sanders stated another reason people cited was that they don't want to get into the air traffic control system. The FAA spokesman stated that would not surprise him and that is the reason for Soldotna Airport's popularity. In addition, people being able to use their Airport Commission Minutes Page 8 March 14, 1996 own lake and parking at home plus not having to deal with ATC added to the float plane facility's problems. He commented that it was a great facility in comparison with that at Lake Hood which is over crowded. Ernst stated the facility has been advertised. Thibodeau stated that he feels that as tourism grows and the people who live on lakes get tired of the air taxis, there will be an interest by air taxis to use the facility to avoid problems with the residents who live around the lakes. Depending on how the float plane basin is developed and how friendly it is for air taxis to operate out of, it makes sense that they will move there as tourism grows. Thibodeau stated there are some things that could be addressed to improve the float plane facility so that it would attract those air taxis. Thibodeau commented with tourism growing it seemed to him that the float plane facility would be a natural outgrowth of tourism. Holloway added that his store has been selected as the Alaskan stopping place for the largest west coast travel agency for hunting and fishing. Holloway noted they had just signed an agreement in the last few days. This will be with Reno Air who will have three flights a day into Anchorage. Holloway stated it will affect them because they have a tremendous amount of fly outs from their shop. Holloway stated that he feels this will be a stimulus to growth in this area. Holloway added that he felt if there was lighting on the basin it may look more attractive to night flights. Sanders questioned how people would be brought to the Peninsula. Holloway stated they would either be flown in or renting cars in Anchorage. Sanders noted this would be an added benefit to the airport. Knackstedt stated he felt an advantage that International and Lake Hood have is that you can taxi on wheels anywhere on the airport. You cannot do that in Kenai. Knackstedt noted that the previous airport plan showed FBO's on the west side of the float plane basin. Knackstedt stated he doesn't see that happening unless planes can taxi over there. Knackstedt explained how an extension of Alpha runway could allow access to the area for future FBO's and the float plane camping area. Sanders questioned how they saw the camping area being used. Ernst stated people could tie down in the itinerant slips and then have an area to spend the night. Thibodeau stated that a lot of people fly up from the states and are looking for a friendly place to go to and this could bring in more tourism into the area. Knackstedt asked if there was a place they were thinking of moving the grass strip to? Sanders stated one place has been considered on the northeast side. Ernst stated that once the taxiway extension is done which is on the books to start construction in 1997, the stockpile on the east side would be used. That area is approximately 1200 feet long by 400 feet wide which would make an ideal place to put in a grass strip. It doesn't circumnavigate the taxiways and it is wide enough you could have a tie down parking area. There would be road access off of Marathon Road. That would entail bringing the road in. Ernst showed the audience Airport Commission Minutes Page 9 March 14, 1996 on the map how this would be accomplished. Holland added that it could also be used for skis. Ernst stated right now people are allowed to use the parking area at the basin as a ski landing area at their own risk. Ernst added the airport does not have the time or the equipment to maintain the area. FAA spokesman stated that would be good potential to bring in more operations with a dedicated area away from the taxiways that can be used for skis. He added there is a demand for an area for people who want to use skis. Sanders thanked everyone for coming and the input. Sanders reminded everyone to get their comments to Ernst in the next couple weeks. Ernst commented that this is the first informational meeting for the Master Plan and as it progresses advertisements will be in the paper. There will be more information meetings and then there will be public hearings. Ernst noted this is about a three year process. Ernst noted that the Working Document No. 1 must be signed off by the FAA as far as the forecast information. Once the forecasts are accepted, they can start on the pavement management plan. Ernst noted that they have all the data but until the forecasts are approved, they cannot finish that plan. a. RFP for Advertising Concession Ernst explained that at the last meeting he had presented information about an advertising plan for the airport. However, because there was not a quorum, it could not be voted on. The information was presented to Council and they recommended an RFP be put out. Ernst explained that in the Commission packets is a copy of the proposed RFP which requests a statement of interests and qualifications. The advertising will be more expensive for the general public but will generate more money for the airport. The airport currently makes approximately $8,400 per year and under the proposed plan would make about $30,000 per year. Ernst advised he knew of two firms he would send the RFP to directly and it would also be advertised locally and in Anchorage. Ernst stated he would like the Commission to set up a committee to review the RFP's that are received. Then, after a decision is made, it would be taken back to Council for their approval. RON HOLLOWAY MOVED TO ADVERTISE THE RFP AS PRESENTED BY ERNST. MOTION SECONDED BY TOM THIBODEAU. UNANIMOUS. Ernst stated that he would proceed and hopes to get a contract before June 301' as that is when the current contracts end. Ron Holloway and Barbara Edwards volunteered to serve on the committee to review the RFP's that are received. Airport Commission Minutes Page 10 March 14, 1996 7.

CONSIDERATION OF PLATS: a. PZ96-21—Preliminary Plat —Original Townsite of Kenai, J.C. Bookey Add. Planning & Zoning Commission Page 2 Minutes March 27, 1996 Phil Bryson noted he would be abstaining on this plat. Glick stated that since Bryson would be abstaining there would not be a quorum to vote on the plat. MAHURIN MOVED TO POSTPONE PZ96-21 UNTIL THE NEXT SCHEDULED MEETING. MOTION SECONDED BY WERNER-QUADE. Glick asked if Mahurin wished to ask for unanimous consent? Mahurin affirmed that and the second agreed. La Shot stated he wondered if this would be a problem for the owner. Bryson stated he did not think it would. La Shot stated that P&Z could discuss the plat and pass it on to the Borough for action. Bryson stated that the owner would appreciate that but noted he did not know the schedule as he had kept hands off the project. Glick asked if any objection to unanimous consent to postpone action to next meeting? Werner-Quade commented that La Shot had suggested that the remaining commissioners could discuss the plat and pass it on to the Borough. Thus, if there was a time frame it could be moved in a more timely fashion. Glick asked Bryson if that would be a problem for the Borough to take action before the P&Z Commission. La Shot stated that this is an advisory matter. 7: 10 p.m. Glick noted that Mr. Goecke had arrived which could settle the problem. Goecke apologized for being late. Glick informed Goecke that the Commission had been discussing PZ96-21 and that Bryson had abstained. Glick stated a motion had been made to postpone. MAHURIN WITH PERMISSION OF THE SECOND WITHDREW HER MOTION TO POSTPONE. MOTION WITHDRAWN. MAHURIN MOVED TO APPROVE PZ96-21. SECONDED BY WERNER-QUADE. Glick asked if there were additional staff comments. La Shot stated nothing additional. Mahurin stated she was curious if anyone knew the intent o f the future building. La Shot stated he understood it would be a larger gift shop. VOTE: BRYSON ABSTAIN GOECKE YES GLICK YES MOTION PASSES.

PZ96-18—Variance for Sign Size & Location —Mapco Express —Lot 3B, Spur Subdivision #1, 1983 Addition WERNER-QUADE RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF PZ96-18. MOTION SECONDED BY BRYSON. Public Hearing opened. Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes Page 4 March 27, 1996 PAUL FARNSWORTH, representing Mapco, 3335 Arctic Blvd., Suite 100, Anchorage, Alaska. Farnsworth advised he was the project manager for Mapco and stated he would like to speak briefly about the request for the variance and answer any questions. Farnsworth stated that the sign they are requesting is what Mapco considers to be the minimum size that gets the job done. Farnsworth continued stating in a convenience type store in a gas station, they are not really a destination. People don't go to Mapco; they go to Carrs, K-Mart, etc. They stop by Mapco to get gasoline and possibly soda pop. Farnsworth stated they had found at their other Alaska locations and throughout the U.S. the I.D. sign telling people who they are and getting prices out on the street is part in parcel with the business. This particular sign that is proposed is smaller than Mapco's standard sign that is being installed in Anchorage and other parts of Alaska right now. Farnsworth stated they had felt this smaller sign would be more in conformance with the local ordinances and keeping with the community. In looking at the sign and reading the ordinance, they had tried to determine what they could eliminate from the sign and still display the business and get the information out to the people that are coming by on the street. Farnsworth they felt the proposed sign was the minimum that would get the information. Farnsworth noted that what is shown on the drawing is not quite correct. The sign will be installed not perpendicular to either property line if it is approved. It will be intersecting the corner at about a 45 degree angle. There are two 4 by 4 signs shown on the site plan. The one that is on the Spur Highway, they are proposing to eliminate. There is a grove of trees that they are going to try to keep and it appears that the grade will allow them to keep the trees and eliminate the sign. Farnsworth noted this request is for the one sign on the corner and one 4 by 4 sign on Bridge Access Road. Glick asked if the one on Bridge Access Road would be angled on the corner instead of how it is shown on the drawings. Farnsworth stated that was correct. Farnsworth added that the distance from the Spur Highway to the property, when you drive by and see the grove of trees, that is actually the property line. There is 70 to 80 feet between the edge of the property and the Spur Highway. Thus, the property is set well back from Spur Highway. It is considerably closer along the Bridge Access Road. MICHAEL CHRISTIAN, 613 MAPLE, KENAI, AK —Stated he would like to protest the variance from the sign codes especially on that corner. Christian stated he recalled years ago when they tried to build a Dairy Queen on that corner and there were very strict rules on what they could do and what they couldn't do on that corner and that corner is probably the most beautiful one in the city because they required vegetation be left, small signs, and the building being set back. Supposedly they had the same Planning & Zoning Commission Page 5 Minutes March 27, 1996 requirement on the strip mall that is on the corner opposite or kitty corner across the street, but they went against the rules and put up Arby's where they were supposed to leave trees and vegetation and that corner does not look too good. Now with Mapco going in across from there and the number of trees that have been cut down there, to put up one of these big garish signs on that corner will ruin it. Christian commented that one side of the street looks fairly nice and the other side with Arby's and now Mapco with a huge ugly sign he felt would really deteriorate the corner. Christian stated that Farnsworth had stated these were smaller standards than Anchorage but he thought most of these sites were an abomination to the eye. Christian stated he thinks the code needs to be kept where they are set and to enforce them. Christian stated he didn't see any reason to make a variance for a sign in that particular location. Public hearing closed. Glick asked if staff had further recommendations. La Shot stated no other recommendations but would note that a variance had been granted for Carrs to exceed square footage on the entrance that they have out front. Carrs is just under 154 square feet with their sign due to multiple businesses. La Shot stated that is the same with the K-Mart sign. La Shot noted that this being a single business it is limited to the 81 square feet by our code. Goecke asked for La Shot to clarify the multiple business comment noting there is not any multiple business on Carrs' main sign. La Shot stated they don't necessarily have to advertise multiple businesses. The determination at the time was if they have them on their site. La Shot stated since Carrs has Oaken Keg and there is a bank in there it qualified. Glick commented that at the time wasn't the main sign about the right size but it was added because of the second sign made them go over the requirement. Mahurin commented she is not in favor of the variance noting that she feels that the sign ordinance is one that was very controversial and required a lot of public input. Mahurin stated she felt that the citizens of Kenai feel pretty strongly about what they want with their community. Mahurin noted she is pleased to welcome Mapco; however, she feels their colors and their sign speak well for their business and everyone will quite clearly know what is there. Mahurin stated she will be voting against a variance on this. Goecke stated he felt that the sign could be made smaller. If not, he commented he doesn't have a problem with the sign. The sign ordinance was made before any real business venture got started on the Spur Highway. Goecke stated he felt they need to have the right to let it be known where they are at and added that he felt the sign ordinance needs to be completely reworked. Werner-Quade commented that Mapco is requesting two things in one variance and stated she had trouble with that. Werner-Quade stated she does not mind the size of the sign but she is in objection to the sign being located so close to the road. In other Planning & Zoning Commission Page 6 Minutes March 27, 1996 words, noted she would feel fine about the large sign if it was in the range where it is supposed to be. Werner-Quade stated she had a torn feeling about the resolution covering two items. Bryson stated his comments were probably the opposite. Bryson stated it is close to their property line but the line is set back from the driving surface some distance. Bryson stated the sheet he had did not indicate the distance from the Spur Highway. Bryson stated it appears to be on the order of 30 feet from the curb line on Bridge Access Road. Bryson stated he has a concern about the size itself. Bryson stated the primary message appears to be the gas prices themselves and those figures are approximately 2.5 feet high numerals. Bryson stated he felt it was excessive. La Shot stated that he had mentioned on the staff report that it is about 100 feet to the travel way of the Spur Highway from the sign and didn't have a problem with it being that close to the property line in that circumstance. La Shot stated he didn't think it would block visibility on the corner. Bryson stated that the way the sign was set up 12 feet off the ground would preclude any blocking of traffic visibility on the intersection itself. Werner-Quade commented that she recalls driving in large cities and doesn't mind if signs on their building but doesn't appreciate the large signs right out next to the driving area. Werner-Quade stated she felt it was obtrusive. VOTE: GOECKE YES BRYSON NO GLICK NO MOTION FAILED-4 TO 1. MAHURIN NO WERNER-QUADE NO Bryson requested that the individuals be notified of the right of appeal. Glick advised Mapco they had the right of appeal to City Council or they could return to Planning & Zoning with a revised request. b. PZ96-19—Kenai Peninsula Borough Land Classifications Within the City of Kenai GOECKE RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF PZ96-19 BOROUGH LAND CLASSIFICATIONS WITHIN THE CITY OF KENAI. MOTION SECONDED BY BRYSON. Public Hearing opened. No comments. Planning & Zoning Commission Page 7 Minutes March 27, 1996 La Shot noted that Lisa Parker was supposed to be in attendance. La Shot stated the Borough is going through a process of classifying their lands. As a part of the Borough code, they have to do this before they can dispose of properties. The Borough moved up the schedule within the City of Kenai because the city has been pressuring them to acquire a well site out east. La Shot stated the city has reviewed this and feel that the chosen classifications fit in with the present zoning except with the government stipulations. Those could be allowed through the conditional use process. La Shot noted that most of those government designations denote school sites. The waste handling and the recreation zone was a waste handling site before it was a recreation, thus it has a grandfather situation. La Shot stated he had two maps available and he could show the Commissioners the location. Glick asked if the Commission should take a brief recess to review the maps. Bryson stated he would request to recess as he had tried plotting the lands to figure out where they were and had some confusion. La Shot stated for the record he needed to make one change. On page 2, at the bottom Parcel 4501007 the Borough classification should read government rather than residential. RECESS: Glick asked if there were any questions since reviewing the maps noting that if for some reason a designation needed to be changed it could be done later. Bryson noted that the Borough process is much less enduring than the city zoning if a designation needed to be changed at a later time. VOTE: MAHURIN YES BRYSON YES WERNER-QUADE YES GOECKE YES GLICK YES MOTION PASSED —UNANIMOUS. 7. NEW BUSINESS: a. PZ96-17—Home Occupation Permit—S. Paulsen-405 Candlelight Drive MAHURIN MOVED TO APPROVE PZ96-17. MOTIN SECONDED BY WERNER- QUADE. Glick asked if additional staff comments. La Shot stated nothing additional. Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes VOTE: BRYSON YES GOECKE YES GLICK YES MOTION PASSED —UNANIMOUS. Page 8 March 27, 1996 WERNER-QUADE YES MAHURIN YES b. PZ96-20—Home Occupation Permit—D. Compton-2785 Beaver Loop Road GOECKE MOVED TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE HOME OCCUPATION PERMIT FOR COMPTON. MOTION SECONDED BY MAHURIN. La Shot noted he had nothing additional adding that the Comptons were available if the Commission had questions. VOTE: WERNER-QUADE YES GOECKE YES MAHURIN YES BRYSON YES GLICK YES MOTION PASSED —UNANIMOUS. c. Halfway House Ordinance Glick stated the Commission had a memo in the packet. La Shot stated the ordinance had been created at the request of Councilman Smalley and Bannock. La Shot noted that at this time halfway houses are not allowed unless under Conditional Use Process. Feelings were that it needed to be clear in the code as well as a definition of what was considered to be a halfway house. Glick asked what was being asked of the Commission. La Shot advised the Commission was being asked for recommendations before the ordinance goes further in the process. GOECKE RECOMMEND THAT PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION ACCEPT AS DRAFTED RESOLUTION 14.20.325 FOR HALFWAY HOUSES AS PRESENTED. MOTION SECONDED BY BRYSON. Bryson commented this relates to a problem he has with several situations. Bryson stated that possibly halfway houses should be prohibited in some areas of town. Bryson noted that while in the process of looking through the proposed document for the prime residential zone, he had several concerns relating to the land use chart. Bryson Planning & Zoning Commission Page 9 Minutes March 27, 1996 explained that the current chart is read with a notation that P means permitted and C means Conditional Use. If it is blank, it can be interpreted as a conditional use situation. Bryson stated it if is conditional use, the chart should show it as a C. Goecke stated he was wondering if we couldn't add one word at the end of the sentence (b) saying, "Halfway houses may be allowed by conditional use permit ONLY in the following zones:" Glick noted that would change the meaning. Bryson noted that would satisfy his concern in this area. Mahurin noted her concern that this was being considered without a public hearing and would like to recommend that the matter come back to Planning & Zoning as a public hearing before it goes to council. MAHURIN MOVED THAT A WELL ADVERTISED PUBLIC HEARING BE HELD PRIOR TO PASSING THE ORDINANCE ON TO CITY COUNCIL. GOECKE SECONDED THE MOTION AND ASKED FOR UNANIMOUS CONSENT. UNANIMOUS. Glick asked if the Commission wanted the wording changed to include the word "ONLY". Bryson commented this is a very sensitive situation. Werner-Quade noted she had received the information she had requested from Matsu Borough and had asked Kebschull to provide copies in the next packet. Werner-Quade stated she felt the language change was important and added that she felt it would be helpful for the Commission to review an ordinance that is in effect. 8. OLD BUSINESS: a. Proposed Residential Zone (Michael Christian) Glick noted that the Commission had asked that this item be brought back. Bryson commented that he has five or six areas of concern. Bryson reiterated his concern with the Land Use Table noting that he felt that use should be identified whether or not a use is allowed to make it apparent that a conditional use permit will not be allowed if it is determined that a use is not allowable. Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes Page 10 March 27, 1996 Glick stated there appears to be a need for some kind of a definition not only for the new zone but for the entire table. Bryson noted that now the table denotes conditional use with either a C or blank. Bryson stated he doesn't have a problem with the proposed set back. Bryson commented that he doesn't feel the 15,000 square foot minimum lot size is appropriate for any subdivision in the city noting that less than 3 percent of lots in Redoubt and approximately 5 percent of lots in Woodland would meet this criteria. Bryson stated he feels the size should have at least 90 percent compliance for the area it will be applied to. Bryson noted that 12,000 square feet would bring the lots in the 80 to 85 percent compliance in Woodland. Glick commented on the square footage required for lots without water and sewer being 20,000 and questioned how that could be less than the 40,000. Goecke stated that looking at the Land use Table under the new proposed Prime Residential zone on page 14-66 that there is a C (Conditional Use) under churches, schools, government buildings, or parks and recreation. Goecke commented that he felt under the Prime Residential zone they wouldn't want government offices or schools. Goecke noted he has nothing against churches and schools but don't think they should be allowed as a conditional use. Werner-Quade commented that all the Commissioners receive their packets and noted how she reviews the items. Werner-Quade suggested that the Commission consider a work session to go through the process. Werner-Quade noted this is a project that requires considerable thought and that in a work session environment they could discuss each item and network with each other. Glick asked how the rest of the Commission felt? Bryson stated he felt it was a good idea and that would allow people to explain their feelings on the situation and to hear both sides as to what should be allowed in a residential area for appropriate use. Mahurin stated she agreed that a work session is a good idea and noted that she felt there is a need for this zone. Mahurin requested that if a session is held it be either before or after the regularly scheduled meeting as that is the night she has set aside for P&Z. GLICK ADVISED TO SCHEDULE A WORK SESSION FOR 6 P.M. BEFORE THE NEXT SCHEDULE MEETING. Werner-Quade stated that somehow she needs to know what she is to be looking for and stated she would make time to visit La Shot before the next meeting. Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes Page 11 March 27, 1996 Glick stated the work session would be between 6 and 7 p.m. and anyone who would like to attend would be welcome. b. Enhanced 9-1-1 Mapping and Addressing Project La Shot advised he had passed out a sample of what he is doing on the project and would like any comments or suggestions. La Shot stated he is basically making a chart and explained the chart that had been provided. La Shot stated the Borough had suggested 127 name changes. La Shot continued explaining the process he is using to determine the final name suggestion. La Shot stated that at the last meeting he suggested a schedule; however, he would like to modify that. La Shot stated he would like to bring the project back to P&Z on April 241h and then take it to City Council on May 1st. La Shot stated he should have the chart complete in two to three days and would have a copy for information and review in the next packet. La Shot stated he also intends to send a copy to the Borough, the Post Office, and dispatch for their review. La Shot noted it is taking longer to go through this process than expected and that it will also take some time for those agencies to review the suggestions. La Shot noted that the Borough had asked for a completed document by May 19t. Glick asked if anyone was against La Shot's suggested schedule. La Shot stated if anyone has suggestions to let him know. He explained that a public hearing or mailing notices to anyone within 300 feet is not required under the code. However, La Shot stated he would like to advertise in the paper as well as post a notice at the post office. Glick stated if we don't have a public hearing the public could become upset. La Shot stated he is trying to conform to the address map system as much as possible. La Shot stated people have accepted those names and most names are not changing. Most changes are prefixes or suffixes. Bryson questioned if Broadway is the road next to the side of the school. La Shot stated it runs off of Broad Street running west. Bryson asked if it is paved? La Shot stated no and that it is not even city maintained, more an alley. Bryson clarified it is toward Benco Building and behind Key Bank. La Shot stated it runs east/west. La Shot added he has a map he has been using that the Commissioners are welcome to come to look at. 9. CODE ENFORCEMENT ITEMS: a. Pollard, Lot 10, Block 2, VIP Ranch Estates Planning & Zoning Commission Page 12 Minutes March 27, 1996 Glick asked if staff had anything additional. La Shot stated nothing in addition to the comment noted on the letter that Mr. Pollard was in the process of moving to the Red Diamond Center. Mahurin commented that the vehicles at First and Birch have gotten worse since the last discussion. La Shot stated he, as well as the Building Inspector and City Attorney, have viewed the site. The consensus is that it is ugly but nothing that can be done as far as the vehicles that are being kept there. La Shot added that short of an undercover operation to see if they are running a garage, the city is limited in what it can do. Mahurin commented that there used to be four vehicles there and now there are about 12. La Shot reported that the city had a couple abandoned trailers removed from city property near Spruce Street. 10. REPORTS: a. City Council Council members were unavailable as attending budget meetings. b. Borough Planning Bryson reported that the Borough Planning Commission had met on March 25th and a copy of the agenda was in the packet. Bryson stated that they had a work session prior to their regular meeting. The work session was on the Kenai River proposed habitat ordinance. Areas of concern and proposed modifications to the proposed ordinance were discussed. There were a number of amendments recommended by the Planning Commission. Bryson noted that at this point the city is still included in the district. Bryson added that they considered a number of plats but none were within the city. c. Administration Kebschull advised that at the Townsite Historic District Board meeting they had voted to send a request to Planning & Zoning to amend the sign code within the zone. Kebschull advised there concern was that there is not a specific code for the zone and that they are included under the commercial zone. Kebschull stated they would have something in the next packet relating to TSH Board's request. In addition, the Board had discussed their confusion with the status of the Shkituk' site as far as boundaries and site assessment. La Shot answered Commission questions regarding the site assessment and status of the FAA antenna farm. Planning & Zoning Commission Page 13 Minutes March 27, 1996 11. PERSONS PRESENT NOT SCHEDULED: MICHAEL CHRISTIAN—Asked about the scheduled work session on the prime residential zone and wanted to know if it was open. Glick advised it would be a working group and he was welcome. Christian asked if the Commission had received a copy of the letter from Kristine Schmidt. La Shot advised the city had received a letter and a response had been sent today. 12. INFORMATION ITEMS: a. Memo to Council & Mayor Williams regarding Comprehensive Plan Glick noted that the Comprehensive Plan would be tabled until after the budget was complete. 13. COMMISSION COMMENTS & QUESTIONS: Werner-Quade advised the Commission was expecting a baby girl in September. 14. ADJOURNMENT: BRYSON MOVED FOR ADJOURNMENT. MOTION SECONDED BY MAHURIN.

BOARD QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS: 11. ADJOURNMENT: HISTORIC DISTRICT BOARD MARCH 26, 1996 MINUTES Chairperson Gray called the meeting to order at 7 p.m. 1. ROLL CALL: Members present: Dorothy Gray, Bill Kluge, Rebecca Gabriel-Godek, Alan Boraas Members absent: Ethel Clausen, Kim Booth, Michael Huhndorf Others present: Councilman Joe Moore, Administrative Assistant Marilyn Kebschull 2. APPROVAL OF AGENDA: Gray asked if there were any additions or corrections to the agenda. None noted. Agenda approved. 3. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: February 27, 1996 Kluge commented that the minutes were very complete. Gray stated she had a couple questions, one on page 5, middle paragraph. Gray stated she was trying to remember what the Mayor had said about the project. Gray read, "Mayor Williams responded that he had stated the project delay based on the funding being delayed considerably." Kluge noted that Gray was looking at the Work Session minutes. Gray asked if they made corrections to these minutes and Kebschull noted they were for information only. Councilman Moore stated he felt that the Mayor was referring to the removal of the items they had found on the property. Moore stated they were trying to get the FAA to pay for it which may delay any development of the property. Moore added that it had been discussed at the council meeting and that there has been contact with Senator Stevens with respect to getting the FAA to move ahead on the project. Moore stated that depending on who you talk to whether they will commit to cleaning up the property or not cleaning up the property and what is there and what is not there. Moore stated he assumed that is what the Mayor is referring to and not what the TSH Board was trying to do. Moore asked Gray if that is what she was questioning. Moore stated that all the council discussed what who is going to pay for the clean up. Kluge asked if they knew the extent and Moore responded it is unknown. Moore added that mine sweeping has been done with metal detectors and there are a lot of spots that need to be looked at, railroad cars, tanks, etc. Moore commented that until they dig the area up they won't know what they are up against as far as contamination. Kluge commented that once it is exposed, it is clean up time. Moore stated that he understands it is the FAA's responsibility as it is still their land. Kluge commented that the city had cleaned up some last year and Moore noted it was surface cleaning and nothing that was buried. Kluge stated they had talked about removing the tank. Gray stated that was one of the things they had discovered. Kluge stated he thought that technically once something is exposed, DEC jumps in. Moore added yes, it must be dealt with. Kluge commented that the city may want to tread lightly until they do determine what is at the site. Moore stated that he felt that was what the Mayor meant. Basically to put everything on hold until it is found out who will pay for what. Gray asked Boraas what implications this would have on archeological sites if they are digging up possibly toxic materials. Moore stated that had been a concern. Boraas stated it would depend on the extent of the digging. They could be disturbing what is in place and from an archeological standpoint you must it in place for it to be much good. Boraas noted that they had buried a tank there already and it has probably disturbed the site. In addition, if they start mining for materials, that could be a problem. Moore commented that it could stop everything if they stumble upon a burial site. Boraas stated the best thing to do would be to have someone there when doing the work. Moore asked if the Board had seen the map of the area and what has been found through the use of the metal detectors. The Board responded no. Moore explained there is a color - coded map that shows the whole area. They know there is a buried fuel tank here, barrels here, a railroad car here, etc. Gray asked Moore is he had any information as to when things may happen. Moore explained that at the last council meeting there were letters from a person who works for Senator Stevens through the FAA that was fairly noncommittal about what they were willing to do. Moore added that Mayor Williams had received other information from Senator Stevens that FAA would be responsible for it. Moore commented that he felt it was a department head who didn't want to spend his department's money. Moore added that the city will keep pushing because there is planned development there with the assisted living complex very close to the antenna station. Gray asked if any corrections on the minutes of February 27'; none noted. Minutes approved. 4. PERSONS PRESENT SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD: 5. HISTORIC BOARD REVIEW: 6. NEW BUSINESS: 7. OLD BUSINESS: a. Preservation Plan, Part 2 Gray noted that at the last meeting the City Council had reviewed the Mission Statement. Moore stated that there was no comment but they did acknowledge the statement. Gray stated that the Board had wanted to get a description of the historic character of Kenai from the prehistory to the present and a summary of past preservation efforts. Gray noted those were the next two items. Gray asked if Boraas had a Townsite Historic District board Minutes Page 2 March 26, 1996 piece he was working on. Boraas stated he has a 20 page document and explained he is working with someone putting together a packet for a grade school curriculum on the prehistory of the Kenai Peninsula area so as part of that and the Preservation Plan, he is putting together a summary history of the area with particular emphasis on Kenai. Boraas noted it is about 80 percent done. Boraas stated it was a rough draft and it lacks about 5 pages and the citations. Boraas showed a copy to Gray and she asked if this copy was for the Board. Boraas responded no, it is still a draft form. Boraas stated that maybe it should be reviewed. Boraas stated it was in narrative style and he was not sure what style the group wanted. Boraas stated he didn't want people to use the document until it was done noting that in the past he has had a rough draft appear somewhere under someone else's name. Gray asked if it should be tabled until he was completed? Boraas asked Gray to look over the document and pass it to whoever else wants to look at it as far as the nature of the document and he will try to finalize it. Gray asked if anyone else would like to read it and the others responded affirmatively. Gray commented that the summary of past preservation efforts was to have been done with Roger Meeks and he was no longer on the Board. Gray asked how people felt about contacting him to see if he would still be interested in doing that. Godek stated she didn't know Meeks and questioned if there was a reason he wouldn't want to do it. Gray explained that Meeks had his feelings hurt because he got a letter from the city because he had missed two meetings in a row and the letter told him that he should resign from the commission because of his attendance. Moore stated for clarification it was more than two in a row. Gray stated it was two out of three meetings. Moore stated that Meeks had technically violated the ordinance so it was suggested that he consider resigning and he did. Moore stated he had brought it up at the council meeting stating that the existing Board did not like that and they had not acted on it. Moore stated he didn't feel it was a problem to have people who were knowledgeable help as long as it came through the Board. Boraas stated he felt that would be the thing to do and in addition the survey had some information in it. Gray asked if anyone had had an opportunity to read the Alaska's Historic Preservation Plan that was included in the packet. Gray noted they had a set of goals and read through some of them. Gray noted they had listed to provide incentives which they didn't have. Gray stated that the survey of historic resources of Kenai is almost at completion, that is Item 4 of the Preservation Plan. Gray asked Boraas if there is something of an archeological survey of Kenai that exists. Boraas stated that whatever information there is is included in the survey. Gray stated that Item 6, Historic Buildings and sites identified, will also be included in the survey. Gray stated there is already a procedure in place for nominating Townsite Historic District board Minutes Page 3 March 26, 1996 historic sites. Gray noted that a lot of the items are already in place. There is a legal ordinance with maps, zoning, and design guidelines, that is #8. Number 9 is the historic preservation and education of the community. Gray noted that Huhndorf and Booth were going to work on that item. The historic board membership information is part of the ordinance. Gray noted that James Malanaphy finished before he left Item 12 a statement of the public sector's responsibilities toward city -owned historic resources. Gray stated the last item was for the agenda for future action projects and five or ten year plan. Gray summarized that Item 2 is not quite complete and she will check with Meeks. Gray noted she has the draft of the survey for Item 3. Everything else is in place or could be in place by the next meeting. Gray stated that would no way mean it is complete, the Preservation Plan is a kind of a living organism that evolves and can be added and subtracted to but this will be a foundation or a basis for it. Gray noted it will be a fairly lengthy document when complete. Gray added she will check with Meeks and check the survey draft and see what they can come up with for that section. b. Review of Sign Code Gray noted that several samples of other historic district sign codes were included in the packet. Gray stated she had highlighted some of the things she thought were important. Gray stated that the Board probably first needed a motion to officially make a statement that the Board feels that the sign code within the TSH zone be modified from the regular city ordinances if that is the way the Board feels. Gray asked for Board comments or thoughts about setting up special guidelines for the TSH area. Godek asked if that was what Bannock had stated they should do at the last meeting. Gray stated yes that it would have to be legal and to set the wheels in motion to have city council modify the ordinance. Kluge asked if that would come from within the administration or if the Board would review the existing ordinance. Moore stated it would go to Planning & Zoning for review. Kluge stated he felt something would come from the administration to P&Z and they would probably take it to us, or it could come to this Board first. Godek stated she understood Bannock to say they should review the sign code for the city as it stands now and if the Board wants to make it more specific, if it has not already been addressed in the code, the Board should write specifics and give that to P&Z and request that it be taken into consideration. Gray read Bannock's comments from the February minutes, page 7. Moore questioned if Bannock was asking the Board to draft an ordinance and Gray stated it was to draft a set of recommendations. Clarification on process and steps was questioned. Kebschull stated that administration would take the information to legal and then it would be taken to P&Z with a resolution and if they passed it would go as a recommendation to council. Moore stated it needs to go to P&Z first. Kebschull stated it needs specific wording as to what they want changed. Townsite Historic District board Minutes Page 4 March 26, 1996 Gray asked what the Board thought about making specific changes? Godek stated that because of the example that was given last time about the sign being 84 square feet and they could put a piece of plywood up. GODEK MOVED TO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION FOR AMENDMENTS TO THE SIGN CODE SPECIFIC TO THE TOWNSITE HISTORIC DISTRICT. Kluge clarified that the motion was to make recommendations to P&Z pertaining to signs and their character within the Historic Townsite District. Gray stated yes. KLUGE SECONDED THE MOTION. Kluge stated it would be a good starting point to go through the information in the packet and to highlight items that each member felt would be pertinent. Kluge commented that he had looked at the ascetic and land control information that was provided in the packet noting there was good information included. Kluge commented that they talk about the character of the development within the historic district. Kluge stated Kenai is different because there are not that many historic structures left but one can go back to old pictures of the period and ascertain what the character of the buildings of the time. Kluge stated they had attended to outline the character and scale of the buildings, and materials. Kluge noted that he felt that this was something the Board should do at some point. Kluge stated he felt that if there is going to be a well thought out future development of Old Town, it needs to have a character to it and that character should find it's roots in what was there originally. Kluge stated the only way he would know to do that would be to go to old photos to try to obtain examples of what the original townsite had and then try to do some descriptive photos. Kluge discussed some of the examples in the packet. Kluge continued stating it was difficult to preserve a historic area and not have any specifics for what is acceptable for design requirements for the area. Gray stated she had highlighted a section from Nantucket stating their signs were only for identification and not for any advertising. Kluge stated he felt that was typical of older buildings. For example, general store, post office, etc. Godek stated that when she was in the Netherlands she noted that in Amsterdam she thought it was clever that the Dutch people put above each of their buildings a symbol. Godek stated for example the mid -wife had a stork. Kluge stated that it is a task to come up with a good document and guidelines for signs and building in Old Town that will take some time from the Board and that he doesn't feel it can just be thrown together. Kluge stated he felt that a goal with a time table would be useful. Townsite Historic District board Minutes Page 5 March 26, 1996 Boraas stated that he felt it was a good idea to try to describe the character of Kenai as it emerged through time in words. But in many ways more effective might be a series of sketches based on historic photos some going back to the turn of the century and showing how a modern structure might keep the flavor and still be a modern structure. Boraas added that the other thing that is real important is that when people think of a certain time period such as the 20's or turn of the century, Boraas stated that people want to create it in their minds from something they know about. Many people might see Old Town Kenai as a gas lit district similar to a turn of the century east coast area but it never was that. Boraas stated that part of the message is to try to portray it truthfully as it was. It was never a dramatic place architecturally. Boraas noted that doesn't mean it wasn't significant. Boraas stated that he had just come to realize that Kenai was a new place in 1920. The influenza epidemic of 1918 caused all the small villages on the peninsula to disappear. Basically, the population was cut in half. All those people moved to Kenai and it was a growing place and the population doubled between 1900 and 1920. Boraas added that another remarkable thing about Kenai is that looking at early air photos of Kenai virtually all of the dwellings and the few stores were connected by a maze -way of paths. Boraas stated that is symbolic of the Kenaitze. It was a connected place. Kluge stated if you look at a plat that a lot of the pathways are actually property lines. Boraas stated he had reconstructed a lot of it from Peter Kalifornsky's memory. Kluge added that if you look closely, there were community out houses and several dwellings would have paths to them. Discussion about the layout at that time. Boraas reiterated that he felt that sketches would be dramatic as far as portraying the nature of the place. Boraas said that a lot of information will come from the survey. They did a lot of dimensions, size, etc. that could be pulled off the survey. Kluge stated he would be interested to see the survey as a professional group has a lot of information to draw from. Kluge asked when the survey would be completed. Kebschull advised that the final document have been sent to OHA and they would be checking it with the comments that Gray, Boraas, and the city provided. Preservation North will have two months to incorporate all the comments and to complete the final document. Final document due mid -June. Gray stated she would like to set a goal about the sign code with the Vozar cabin rental business there is bound to be a number of signs that may be put up. Kluge asked when the next P&Z meeting and was advised the next night. Kluge stated he felt that Gray had a good point and that perhaps the Board needed to go forward with the motion on the floor to make recommendations to P&Z. Kluge stated he felt time is of the essence because a lot of signs could go in with the new businesses. Gray asked the time line on an ordinance and if it required a public hearing. Moore advised an ordinance does require a public hearing. Gray asked if Townsite Historic District board Minutes Page 6 March 26, 1996 amending an ordinance also required a public hearing. Kebschull advised the policy has been to have a public hearing for anything significant but was unsure of the rule. Moore stated it would have to be two weeks from the day it was on the public hearing and then it could be considered. So, the Board would be looking at two weeks once it gets on the agenda to be heard for a vote. Moore said if the Board could get to P&Z tomorrow that would be good. Kebschull advised the Board they would need specifics to bring to P&Z. Bill Godek asked Kebschull if he had understood that the packet would go first to Jack La Shot who would take it to legal and then it would go to P&Z for their review. Kebschull advised that staff would put it in the P&Z packet based on TSH recommendation but La Shot would look at it and take it to legal before it would be presented to P&Z. When P&Z receive it, they assume staff has taken steps to check all the legalities. Kebschull advised that takes times. Kluge asked if it would be wise to pick out some more significant areas of concern as far as signs go and make those recommendations and that they be incorporated now. And, note that the Board will be giving this further review in conjunction with the historic survey and further development recommendations. Kluge stated for example saying that the signs are not for advertising but to say what is in the building. Kluge noted that one item could go a long way to limit flamboyant advertising. Moore noted the concern about size requirements. Boraas stated he has another concern and that would be that a commercial sign if it included historic information that that information be accurate. And, that the TSH Board be the determining factor. Kluge asked if they could try to create a draft as they discussed the signs. After considerable discussion the group consensus was the following: Rationale: According to the Juneau, Alaska Historic District Sign Standards, "The purpose of the historic district sign standards are to enhance, protect, and preserve the distinctive historical character of the historic district." The Townsite Historic District board would be included in the City of Kenai's permitting process by providing recommendations that would do the following: Signs for use in the Historic Townsite District shall be subject to a design review by the Historic District Board. Signage shall only be applied to building fronts and shall relate only to historic information, name, or principal use within the building. Signs shall express the special character of one's building or business, have a style and form which relates to the place of business, and be of a size which is in Townsite Historic District board Minutes Page 7 March 26, 1996 scale with one's building and the street scape as a whole. The review submitted shall include drawings that depict the size, placement on the building, lettering style(s), colors, materials, and content. The sign shall be reviewed for historic correctness, scale and character in keeping with the historic correctness in keeping with the historic district. Drawings shall be submitted in not less than 1 " = V-0" scale. GRAY ASKED THOSE IN FAVOR OF PRESENTING PRELIMINARY RECOMMENDATIONS TO PLANNING & ZONING REGARDING THE SIGN CODE TO SAY AYE. UNANIMOUS. c. Shkituk' Village Boraas advised he had visited the area with Rachel Clark, an engineering technician for the city. Boraas stated they had tried to identify the approximate boundaries of where the village was. Boraas stated he worked mostly off the old cannery map. There is a verbal description of it from the second governor of Alaska that identifies about 20 buildings. With the snow on the ground, they could not find any corner posts. Boraas stated he is pretty sure it extends back along the gully. Boraas stated the most logical next step, depending on what they do with the hazardous material survey, would be to go in once it thaws to do some testing to see if they can identify any locations. Boraas commented that with the disturbance it is probably unlikely they would find anything but you never know. Gray stated that the Mayor's recommendation in the packet regarding the sign being included in the city budget. Moore noted the first meeting was tomorrow night and the Board was invited to attend. In addition, the sign was in the budget. Gray commented that even if it was budgeted, it would be July with the new budget. Gray stated that at the last meeting that they had discussed the importance of identifying the site. Kluge stated that he thought the sign may need to be changed so that it doesn't depict an elk in the sign. Gray stated that had been noted earlier to make the change. Kebschull advised they were changing the elk and the hood on the figure. Kluge stated he would also recommend having the artwork reproduced and laminated so that if it is vandalized another copy can be put up. Kluge stated he could provide further information on how to get that done. He explained the process. Gray stated the sign was to be fiberglass embedded panels. S. REPORTS: 9. INFORMATION: a.

Assemblymembers Betty Glick and Tim Navarre - Kenai River Protection Ordinance Update. Assemblywoman Glick gave an update of the work the Assembly and River Working Group has done in regard to the Kenai River Protection Ordinance. Glick stated, compared to last year's overlay ordinance process, the new ordinance process had been more positive and the group had come to a consensus in regard to matters of the ordinance. This time, only one draft of the ordinance was discussed at a time. This year, the Borough Attorney and Planning Director worked on the ordinance, along with the working group and Assembly. Last year, they had not been consulted until the end of the process. Last year's overlay ordinance (which was not passed) was all - encompassing of the river and included the cities from the beginning. This was a problem for the City of Kenai. This time, the cities will have the option to opt out of the ordinance by not adopting it. The City has stated its concern in regard to prior uses, misdemeanors and variances in the ordinance and the Assembly and working group tried to address those issues. Last year's draft didn't address the flood plain issue. It was on the books, but administration had not updated it. Since last fall's flood, they have worked with FEMA in updating it which was added to the river ordinance. An acceptable determination has not been made in regard to the prior existing uses. Glick reported she asked Attorney Graves for help in developing an amendment, which he has done. Some concerns voiced were why the canneries should receive special treatment. Councilman Bannock asked what the logic was in excluding the lower five miles of the river in Kenai and why not exclude all of the river inside the city of Kenai. It would make the division easier. Glick stated that was included in last year's ordinance. Since then, Fish & Game have done an assessment in regard to fry in the lower portion of the river. She wants to grandfather the canneries in. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 20, 1996 PAGE 3 Bannock stated he believed the processors should be out of the ordinance, but would be more comfortable beginning the exemption at the city limit line to the mouth. This would not be showing favoritism to the canneries. Assemblyman Navarre reported the Planning Commission would be holding a work session on March 25 and the Assembly would be holding a special meeting on March 27. He hoped to have an updated ordinance forwarded to Clerk Freas to include in the council's April 3 packet for review. He also hoped council would take a position on the ordinance, offering changes if necessary. There would still be time for him to offer another amendment before the ordinance has its final review and action by the Assembly. Mayor Williams requested the Kenai River Ordinance be placed on the April 3 meeting agenda. Councilman Moore asked if Glick or Navarre would support the city's concerns. Navarre answered he thought the city's support of the ordinance was its strength. He hoped concerns of the city could be offered as amendments and compromises could be made. The purpose of the ordinance is to create a watershed and protect the river. Glick added she believed the ordinance would be killed if the city was not included. She emphasized they were only talking about the lower end of the river. In the end, it would be up to the city to adopt the Borough's ordinance or not. Glick also reported the Assembly unanimously passed a resolution in support of Kenai's efforts to place a Challenger Center in Kenai. ITEM C: PUBLIC HEARINGS C-1.

Councilman Bookey asked if this was the only change to be charged to the City of Kenai. Public Works Director Kornelis answered yes. Mayor Williams explained the City of Kenai requested the water and sewer crossings be accomplished during the construction of the road widening instead of having it done in the future. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 20, 1996 PAGE 5 VOTE: Moore: Yes Measles: Yes Bannock: Yes Smalley: Absent Williams: Yes Bookey: Yes Swarner: Absent MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. C-3b. Consideration of State of Alaska, DOT Change Order No. 9/$8,715. MOTION: Councilman Bookey MOVED to approve State of Alaska, Department of Transportation Change Order No. 9 in the amount of $8,715. Councilman Measles SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. C-4. Ordinance No. 1581-96 and Appropriations by Acquiring Consulting Animal Shelter. MOTION: - Increasing Estimated Revenues $28,185 in the General Fund for Services for the Design of the Councilman Moore MOVED for adoption of Ordinance No. 1681-96 and Councilman Measles SECONDED the motion. Assemblyman Navarre reported that he, Assemblywoman Glick and Assemblyman Brown met with Mayor Williams and other city representatives to discuss the proposed new animal shelter construction in Kenai. He explained that he had suggested a matching grant fund be created at the Borough to aid Peninsula municipalities (Homer, Soldotna, Seward and Kenai) in constructing, operating and/or maintaining their municipal animal shelters. The funding would be a one-time grant of $300,000 to each municipality. For a construction need, the funding could be a lump sum. For operation_ and/or maintenance, it could be drawn on yearly for a suggested five years. Those details have not been determined at this point. The Borough Attorney has determined the Borough has animal powers, however the Borough is not wanting to take on the responsibility. Through the Borough's involvement in this grant process, aid would go to municipalities for handling stray animals from within the Borough, which they have been doing at no cost to the Borough for a long time. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 20, 1996 PAGE 6 Navarre reported he had discussed his proposal with the mayors of the other Peninsula municipalities, along with some of the assembly members and the Borough Mayor. Those he had talked with, had been accepting of the concept. He suggested a meeting with all the mayors, etc. in the near future to determine zones of responsibility for each municipality. Navarre added, he was hoping to have final determination of the allocation of monies within 60 days. Mayor Williams added, the Kenai Public Works Department was drafting an operational plan to present to the other city mayors. Peter Klauder - Informed council he was a certified architect who had recently opened his own business in Kenai. He was currently negotiating to joint venture with Karluk Design in Anchorage who would provide him with insurance to allow him to design public projects. Klauder added, he would like to be considered for City of Kenai projects. Williams thanked Klauder for his resume information and added the city had been working with an architect for some time on this particular project, but assured him he would be informed of other city projects for which he may be considered. C-5. Resolution No. 96-23 - Awarding a Contract for the Architect/Engineering Design on the Project Entitled, Kenai Animal Shelter, to Kluge and Associates for the Lump Sum of $28,185.00. MOTION: Councilman Bookey MOVED for approval of Resolution No. 96-23 and Councilman Measles SECONDED the motion. There were no public comments. Councilman Bannock asked what the time line would be for the design to be completed. Public Works Director Kornelis answered Kluge indicated to him the design work could be done within two months. A new cost estimate would be done also. Bannock stated his concerns in regard to the cost of the project and encouraged Kornelis and Kluge, as well as city employees to do what could be done to lower the cost. Kornelis assured him that lots of city staff members had already reviewed the design plans, i.e. building inspector, engineer, fire marshall, etc. Councilman Bookey asked if the council would be influenced as to cost of the building if funding was received from the Borough. Williams stated, in his discussions with Borough representatives, KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 20, 1996 PAGE 7 it was suggested the City of Kenai design could be a prototype for other municipal facilities. Williams added, the $300,000 amount was picked as a 50/50 matching grant. If the cost of the building is lower, the grant amount received would be diminished. Kornelis added, the project will be bid with additive alternates which will help in determining the most efficient method of construction. Councilman Moore stated he would not want the city to lose its motivation to keep the cost down. VOTE: Moore: Yes Measles: Yes Bannock: Yes Smalley: Absent Williams: Yes Bookey: Yes Swarner: Absent MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. C-6. 1996/97 Liquor License Renewal - Casino Bar/Beverage Dispensary. Clerk Freas reported the licensee was not current with obligations to the Borough and requested a motion from council to approve the renewal contingent upon the licensee becoming current with the Borough by April 22, 1996. MOTION: Councilman Bannock MOVED to approve the license renewal contingent upon the licensee becoming current with the Borough by April 22, 1996. Councilman Measles SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. 80 ORDERED. ITEM D: COMMISSION/COMMITTEE REPORTS D-1. Council on Aging Mayor Williams reported three different investment company representatives discussed investment concerns with the seniors during a recent seminar. D-2. Airport Commission Mayor Williams reported he attended the meeting for Councilman Measles. A presentation regarding the update of the Master Plan was given by the consultant. There was a large audience. A copy KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 20, 1996 PAGE 8 of the review was passed on to council for their information. A change will be made in the counting of float plane users. The Plan will also include predictions and recommendations for future years. The consultant requested comments from council be passed on to Airport Manager Ernst. D-3. Harbor Commission Public Works Director Kornelis reported the minutes of the last meeting were included in the packet. At the Commission's recommendation, signs will be placed at the dock regarding use of the dock, i.e. commercial fishing boats' precedence over sport fishing/dipnet boats. Kornelis also reported the Commission discussed beach access and their concerns for that area during the dip net fishing season this summer. Mayor Williams reported many people from the community have voiced their concerns about the congestion expected at the beach.

Discussion - Comprehensive Plan Update. Public Works Director Kornelis reported there had been quite a few changes made to the document. He discussed the matter with City Attorney Graves and he suggested an ordinance be prepared to accept the update and to provide a public hearing. After a short discussion, council determined to postpone discussion on the update of the Comprehensive Plan until after the budget work sessions. H-8. Discussion - Snow Removal/KCHS Track. Public Works Director Kornelis referred to his memorandum and Principal Spence's letter to Mayor Williams (which was included in the packet) requesting the city remove the snow from the track around the football field. Kornelis explained there had been discussion last year as to whether the city should be doing snow removal, etc. at the high school because funding is included in the school's budget for such items. Kornelis added, Public Works would be available to do the work if council approved. The snow would be removed with the blower and done at the city's availability. Councilman Bookey stated he would want to continue the city's helping the school as long as it did not interfere with city KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 20, 1996 PAGE 12 work. Councilman Moore noted it appeared some of the snow had already been removed. Kornelis suggested the school may have had some of the students clearing the snow. Mayor Williams asked if there were any objections to the request. There were no objections. H-9. Discussion - Alaska Science & Technology Foundation Grant/Bluff Erosion. Public Works Director Kornelis referred to the minutes of the Harbor Commission meeting where they discussed with Wm. J. Nelson the possibility of hiring him to prepare and submit a pre - proposal to the Alaska Science & Technology Foundation. The purpose of the submittal would be to find out if the Foundation would fund a grant for the stabilization of bluff properties within the city. The design suggested by Nelson would be to place large culverts in the sand. This technique has been used with smaller culverts and is not known whether it would work in this case. Kornelis added, neither he or Nelson know if bluff stabilization would be grant eligible. The cost for the pre - proposal would be $900. Kornelis added, the grants are usually 50/50 matching grants. Nelson's proposal would cover 250-500 lineal feet of bluff and could cost the city $200,000 with a 50/50 grant. The pre - proposal would not commit the city at this time, but could if the project was found to be grant -eligible and the city applied for and received grant funding. Mayor Williams noted council had been discussing different measures to stabilize the bluff for some time. It is an on -going problem and at some time, the city will have to do something. A stabilization effort would be a long shot as attempts in other areas of the state have not been too successful. Williams added, if the city does decide to do a stabilization project, it may require long-term bonding. However, he would not want to do that if the city is not ready to commit. Councilman Moore asked how this technique would be different from the placement of piling. Kornelis answered that instead of using sheet piling, round culverts are used. With the culverts, water can go through. Kornelis added, he did not know if this technique has been done in Alaska. Smaller culverts have been used, however using large culverts is innovative. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 20, 1996 PAGE 13 Councilman Bookey asked if there was some way to go to the Foundation and ask if this would be an acceptable project. Kornelis answered, the pre -proposal would be the only way to get into the program. Also, the Foundation hires someone to review the pre -proposals. Nelson has stated preparing a pre -proposal would take about ten hours. He thought Nelson could have the pre -proposal prepared in time for the Foundation's April 20 board meeting. Measles asked Kornelis if after the pre -proposal was evaluated, would the city then have a good idea of whether to go forward with the grant proposal? Kornelis answered yes. Measles noted the information stated business consultants would review the proposals and asked how much would they know about bluff stabilization. Kornelis answered Mr. Nelson would explain the technique, etc. if there were questions. Bookey stated he was concerned that once the city started a stabilization program, how would it be determined what banks would be stabilized. He added, the city would not be able to afford doing bluffs from shore to shore. Williams stated he would like to see what response the city would get from a pre -proposal. He noted, the city also has property investments along the bluff. Councilman Bannock stated he thought the $900 cost would be worth the risk. The evaluation may help the city to know that technique would be the wrong one. There were no objections from council for Administration to proceed with the pre -proposal. H-10. Discussion - Kenai Elks Lodge 12425/Use of Recreation Center. Mayor Williams referred to a letter from the Kenai Elks Lodge which was included in the packet. The letter requested use of the Recreation Center to hold their state convention meetings in May. Parks & Recreation Director McGillivray reported he spoke with an Elks representative about the request. McGillivray added, the Club had used the Center previously for state meetings. They borrowed a large tarp to cover the gym floor and plan to do the same thing this time. He had no objection to the use of the facility for the Elks meetings. There were no objections from council. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 20, 1996 PAGE 14 EXECUTIVE SESSION None. ITEM I: ADMINISTRATION REPORTS Mayor a. Halt -Way House - Mayor Williams reported he learned from the Department of Corrections that a halfway house would be placed at Mile 28 of the Spur Highway. Williams added, the Department wanted the city to be aware of their plan and would be operating the facility there for about 18 months. b. Industrial Appreciation Picnic - Williams reported the Picnic has been planned for August 24 and would be held at the greenstrip park by the ball fields. Williams requested the Police Department have three officers available for extra security as Senator Stevens, Senator Murkowski and Congressman Young would be in attendance and possibly Governor Knowles. Williams also requested Main Street Loop in front of the ball park picnic area be closed off to traffic. They believe as many as 3,000 people will attend the picnic. Williams requested council discuss placing $500 in the Legislative budget during the upcoming budget work sessions. There were no objections from council. 1-2. City Manager Acting City Manager Sweeney stated City Manager Manninen requested he remind and inform council of the following matters: a. City Tour - The city department tour for council members was scheduled for March 27, beginning at 3:00 p.m. at city hall. b. Donald Morgan Retirement - A copy of the notice of retirement from Assistant Fire Chief Morgan (April 30, 1996) was distributed at the beginning of the meeting. C. Conference Attendance - A memorandum from City Manager Manninen was included in the packet in which he reported on his recent trip to Washington, DC to attend the NLC Congress of Cities, attend a "Takings" seminar, meet with Alaska's KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 20, 1996 PAGE 15 congressional delegation, and visit the Challenger Center. Key points in regard to the "takings" seminar were: If the Kenai Overlay District was passed, Manninen felt the Kenai Peninsula Borough must enforce the ordinance and not the city as there are legal issues involved. d. seminar Attendance - City Manager Manninen was attending a seminar on creative management in Seattle. He would return to work on Monday. C. Antenna Farm Update - City/Manninen felt a key point was that the city of Kenai must agree to a quid pro quo with the FAA if necessary to transfer the FAA antenna farm site to the city for future development in exchange for something of equal value. This may be that the city's expansion of the existing Flight Service Station could be the in -kind equivalent of what the FAA is looking for as a trade for the land. e. Challenger Center Visit - Sweeney referred to Manninen's memo and emphasized that the ongoing operation and maintenance cost for a Challenger Center (in Kenai) must be a non -city expense. 1-3. Attorney Attorney Graves stated he would be out-of-state from Friday through Monday. He would be back to work on Tuesday. I-4. City Clerk a. Telephone Poll - Clerk Freas read into the record information regarding a telephone poll taken on March 11, 1996. The poll was taken to attain council approval to transfer funds in the amount of $6,026.00 from the Shop Department operating supplies account to the Shop Department repair and maintenance account, and, for a purchase order in the amount of $6,025.92 to Craycroft Chrysler for parts and labor to repair the Senior Center station wagon damaged in a traffic accident on March 7, 1996. The poll was authorized by John P. Sweeney, Acting City Manager and attested and taken by Clerk Freas. The vote on the poll was reported as: Williams: Yes Measles: Yes Bookey: Unavailable Smalley: Yes Swarner: Unavailable Bannock: Abstained Moore: Yes KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 20, 1996 PAGE 16 b. Election Information - Clerk Freas referred to a letter included in the packet from Borough Clerk Vaughan in which Vaughan requested the city notify her of any propositions to be placed on the regular election ballot be forwarded to her no later than August 16. I-5. Finance Director a. Budget - Sweeney reported the budget draft had been prepared and would be forwarded to the Clerk for distribution. b. Budget Work Session - Sweeney reminded council of the budget work session was scheduled for Wednesday, March 27 beginning at 7:00 p.m. at the Senior Center. The city tour would end at the Senior Center. C. Budget Format - Sweeney reported City Manager Manninen requested he review the following points in the budget philosophy: 1. More detail, a number of additional accounts in the budget. There will be change from the way the account structure is and in some cases, it may be difficult to compare to what was the expenditure in the account for the prior year. That will be discussed during the work session. 2. More budget summaries are included that hopefully will make it easy to look at expenditures in all departments in one schedule instead of having to look from department to department, i.e. authorized personnel, travel and training, and fixed assets. 3. They budgeted more tightly on utilities, payroll and insurance -- much more than was in the past. There will be some reflection of that philosophy included in the first draft. Reasons for doing that were because of a feeling that there is real deficit this year in proposed spending as opposed to revenue which was caused by some declines in a number of the revenue sources. Contained in the budget would be aCity Manager's budget letter which would lay out the budget philosophy and discusses some of the pressures on the revenues and things he had tried to do to counteract them. d. special Assessments - Sweeney referred to his memorandum, included in the packet, in regard to special assessments. Sweeney added, he had not received an answer back from the city's auditors in regard to the points they are KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 20, 1996 PAGE 17 researching. He will pass the information on when he receives it. There were no comments from council on the memorandum. I-6. Public Works Director a. Logging - Public Works Director Kornelis reported the logging at Dena'ina Point began with the marking of the trees. b. Bid Opening - A pre -bid conference will be held on March 27 at 10:00 a.m. The bid opening for the logging project was scheduled for April 3. He will place a blank resolution in the packet and bring a substitute resolution to council with the award information for consideration at the evening's meeting. C. STP Disinfection Project - Kornelis reported they are behind on the project due to tanks which hold chemicals. They were told the tanks they planned to use could not be guaranteed to hold chemicals. They switched to another manufacturer which has delayed the progress. He has requested a 60-day extension on the city's application. This will move the completion date to June 2. Kornelis added, he did not believe there would be a problem with the delay. d. Mission street Project - Kornelis reported he met with church representatives and they reviewed the drawings. They have no objections to dedicating a public right-of-way for the road. The State has begun environmental assessments. They hope to begin the construction this season. e. sTIP Program - Kornelis reported he, with borough mayors and other city representatives, met to discuss the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). The city's Mission Street Project, as well as the upgrade of Forest Drive and Redoubt Avenue are included in the program. Other projects were discussed as well. They also discussed an RV dump site to be included in the TRAK program through the STIP. The site for the dump site would be at the Borough's transfer site on Redoubt Avenue. He will work with the Borough to nominate the dump site as another project for the Kenai area. There were no objections from council. f. Dune Destruction - Kornelis reported the Harbor Commission discussed the problem in regard to the damage to the dunes along the beach. He would like council to consider the possibility of applying for a Corps permit in order to build a parking lot at the bottom of the hill, below the sewer treatment KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 20, 1996 PAGE 18 plant. The area eventually would have to be filled in for expansion of the plant. The Commission discussed the closure of the road along the beach or continuing it with a turnaround at the end and come back to the parking area. The Corps permit would be needed for the parking area. Kornelis asked if council had any objections to applying for the permit. There were no objections. g. Kenai Habitat Restoration - Kornelis reported the projects applied for through the Kenai Habitat Restoration (Cunningham Park and boardwalk construction below the dunes), have received some favorable review. At this time the dunes boardwalk construction looks favorable according to the State. The city's ability to act on the project right away, would help their decision to approve the project. Kornelis added, a permit would not be required to do the boardwalk and could be started this year. A decision would be made,by June. Councilman Moore asked when the upgrade of Forest/Redoubt was to begin. Kornelis answered, construction was to begin in 1998 and the cost was set at $4 million. Representative Navarre is trying to get the construction date moved higher on the list, reminding DOT the sooner the construction is completed, the sooner the city would take responsibility for maintaining the street. Williams noted the council needed to keep an eye on this project and the DOT's overall construction program. Kornelis added, it appeared the design work would be done next year. Williams stated it had been his impression the design work was to be done this year. Councilman Bannock asked Kornelis if the city applied for a Corps permit, how long would it be before the city could park cars on the property by the STP. Kornelis stated it would depend on other agencies that must reply in the application process. It could take until August or September (after fishing season). Bannock stated he believed developing a parking area at the beach was key to the dipnet fishing concerns, as well as placing signs, boardwalks, etc. Kornelis stated the sand parking area would be upgraded. Receipt of the permit would hinge on the question of developing wetlands. Bannock stated he would like to have the city try to develop the parking area this year. He added, he believed the road along the beach needed to be closed to traffic or not allow parking along it. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 20, 1996 PAGE 19 Councilman Moore requested a discussion of procedures for dipnetting season be included on the April 3 agenda. There were no objections from council. Attorney Graves was requested to draft an ordinance that would prohibit parking on Kenai Avenue as well. Councilman Moore asked Graves if the city could mandate user fees. Graves answered, parking fees could be mandated, however user fees of the beach probably could not as it is a public beach. Graves was asked to also draft an ordinance mandating parking fees for council review. 1-7. Airport Manager Acting Airport Manager Keith Holland reported the discussion about the Airport Master Plan at the Airport Commission meeting was informational only. Before the Master Plan Update is completed, there will be public hearings, etc. The contractor is requesting questions or comments be forwarded to Airport Manager Ernst. ITEM J: DISCUSSION J-1. Citizens Leo Oberts - Mr. Oberts briefly discussed his opinion that the city should consider developing some of its property along the river. He also talked about the city's ownership of the bottom of the river and the river's unique characteristics that don't appear in other rivers. Mayor Williams noted that the ownership of the bottom of the river has been a topic of discussion for some time. The city's ownership of the bottom of the river does not include all the river within the city limits, but is included with the city property close to Chester Cone's property. The patents don't show ownership throughout the portion of the river within the city. J-2. Council Bookey - No report. Swarner - Absent. Moore - Noted the vehicles in the yard on the corner property of First and Birch was getting worse. Kornelis stated he would pass the information on to the City Engineer. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 20, 1996 PAGE 20 Measles - No report. Bannock - Asked if there would be budget packets distributed to council. Clerk Freas stated they would be at the Police Department on Friday afternoon and a copy of the packet schedule was distributed. Williams - No report.

Graves, City Attorney DATE: March 28, 1996 RE: Clean-up of Lots 13 and 14 In September 1995, the Council approved a settlement with the State of Alaska and the Potentially Responsible Parties regarding the soil contamination of the courthouse site and related construction costs increases. That settlement paid the City $400,000. As part of that settlement, the City agreed to clean up Lot 13 and Santa Fe Drilling agreed to clean up Lot 14 in a joint and cooperative manner. Lots 13 and 14 are the two lots adjacent to the courthouse on which the soil excavated during courthouse construction was stored and cleaned. In order to achieve an economy of scale, the settlement envisioned the City contracting out and supervising the actual clean-up of Lots 13 and 14, with Santa Fe Drilling to reimburse the City for the costs of clean-up of Lot 14. The total cost of clean-up for both lots has been estimated by Engineering Tech Rachel Clark at $70,000, including a contingency of 5 %. She indicated that the estimate is probably high, and she expects the cost to actually come in lower. Assuming it does cost $70,000, we would be reimbursed about half; so our cost should be about $35,000. The clean-up costs are to be taken out of the airport fund which the settlement money went into. I have attached a description of the clean-up project timetable from Rachel Clark for your information. If you have any questions, please stop by my office at City Hall or give me a call. CRG/sp Attachment INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: CARY GRAVES, CITY ATTORNEY FROM: RACHEL CLARK, ENGINEERING TECHNICIAN SUBJECT: LOTS 13 AND 14, CIIAP, REMEDIATION DATE: MARCH 29, 1996 As requested, I have prepared a brief description of the excavation and remediation projects anticipated for Lots 13 and 14 of the Courthouse Site. The project will be divided into three separate contracts: 1. Third Party Services 2. Excavation and Stockpiling 3. Remediation Third Partv Services The Third Party Services contract will include preparation of an excavation plan, oversite of soil excavation and the sampling (DRO,GRO, BTEX and TPH) of the excavation perimeters. This contract will be bid as a lump sum for design, management and excavation oversite and as a per unit sample price for the testing. If Santa Fe agrees, I expect to have this out for proposals by April 15, with an award date of May 15, 1996. Excavation and Stockpiling The second contract will be for the actual excavation of contaminated soil. I have separated this phase out to ensure that the third party does not have vested interest in increasing the amount of soil excavated. This contract will be bid as a unit price per cubic yard excavated and properly stockpiled. It will also be out for bid April 15, with an award date of May 15, 1996. Remediation The remediation contract should be out to bid July 1, with bids returned by July 15, and a contract award date of July 17, 1996. At this point we are specifying thermal desorption as the remediation method, and expect the project to be completed by October 1, 1996. If no thermal bids come in, or if the bid are too high in our determination, the City would consider using a different method. Switching methods may, however, require a second construction season to complete. The remediation contract will be a lump sum price to clean and dispose of all the stockpiled soil. If you have any further questions, please let me know.

The assembly finds that the sensitivity of the river area requires general prohibition of activities within an area immediately adjacent to the Kenai River and only activities which do not damage the habitat should be allowed. The assembly finds that certain activities having minor impact and that existing state, federal and local laws and regulations contain sufficient controls on these activities that further regulation is not currently needed. The assembly further finds that fuel storage and significant removal of vegetation within the 100-year flood plain along the Kenai River and its tributaries need regulation to protect the Kenai River salmon habitat. 21.18.030 Periodic Review.

As you point out, there are many competing statewide water and sewer needs. I believe our prioritization process is fair and consistent and offers a sound approach to ensure stable, continued funding for many important projects. I appreciate your support and know we can count on it in the future. After our meeting, I discussed this project with my staff. As with all projects, we carefully considered the information provided. Unfortunately, this year, other projects placed higher and your project did not make the funded portion of our project list. However, I encourage your staff to work closely with the Division of Facility Construction and Operation during the submittal process next year to include the most current information. By doing this, you will ensure that your project receives the maximum possible score. Hopefully, this important project will successfully compete for funds next year.

With all the recent interest in the Kenai River, we have been researching some alternatives. I have put together some preliminary numbers on extending Soldotna's wastewater collection system to the Thompson Park area. Service to adjacent areas enroute could presumably join in on an LID basis. We have heard that the City of Kenai is in the process of designing an expansion to their wastewater treatment plant facility to accommodate larger flows. This would be a good time for us to work together to have one plant treat the wastewater of the two cities. Soldotna's facility is treating approximately 610,000 gallons per day. I would appreciate scheduling a time to visit with you on this matter. I will be out of state from March 2Oth through the 29th. After that time I can be reached at 260.3575. Respectfully, en Lancaster Mayor KENA� 1 R� Z YYbfkinP topsther !or tlN rlwr" March 21, 1996 Dear Kenai River Friend: z- / L M90aly o QUIED The Alaska Department of Natural Resources has embarked on a year long effort to revise the Kenai River Comprehensive Management Plan (KRCMP). The current plan was adopted in 1986 and there have been'many changes in the past decade. These changes need to be considered so that the river's health and vitality can be maintained to support its productive fishery and recreational opportunities. The Kenai River' s importance to our local and. ±-Pg.c+_n al economy and to the quality of life for all of our residents is clearly not in dispute. What is not clearly agreed upon is the method for maintaining the values we cherish about the river. The KRCMP process will utilize the collective visions of a cross section of affected interests to define the future desired condition for the Kenai River, and then propose a series of management actions designed to manage for that condition. Areas such as habitat protection, recreational use, land use and other environmental factors such as maintaining water quality and quantity will be addressed. To start the public involvement process, the Kenai River Special Management Area Advisory Board will be conducting two public workshops in Anchorage and Soldotna. These workshops will focus on developing a vision for the desired future condition for the Kenai River. It is critical that as wide a cross section of people as possible participate since this will form the foundation for a plan which will affect so many in our community. Please plan to attend one of our two workshops: -Anchorage - March 30, 1996, 9:30 am -3:30 pm at the First United Methodist Church, located at 725 West 9th Ave. -Soldotna - April 6, 1996 9:30 am - 3:30 pm, at the Kenai Peninsula ui in As lunches will be provided, please call Alaska State Parks at 262--5581 or the Department of Natural Resources at 269-8534 to let us know that you plan to attend one of the meetings so that meal arrangements can be made. Thanks for your interest in the K_nai River - I look forward to working with you at our workshop!! Sincerely, cl1� �2625262)2�a Jim A.

There will be information forthcoming on the EDD marketing plan and the outlook forum. Area business, industry and government leaders will be invited to participate in the all day outlook forum. I will advise of time, date and place when it is finalized. EDA $1 MILLION GRANT FOR BIC BUILDING: The EDD is once again applying for an EDA $1 million grant for the Business Innovation Center (BIC).

I will keep you advised. Secondarily, the BIC has been granted tax-exempt status for the fiscal year 1996-97. MIDREX FOLLOW-UP; COMPETITORS INTERESTED IN THE KENAI: Recently, the EDD has been involved in working with a manufacturing group investigating a potential plant siting on the Kenai. This is a group following up on the Midrex iron ore reduction process. Presently, this is a long shot but worth pursuing. I will keep you advised of any significant developments.

B ) Public Comment Notice is given through the newspapers of EDD Board meetings, and the public is invited to comment at this time. C ) Financial Report Enclosed in the packet is the current financial report. The staff has no unusual revenues or expenditures to report. D ) Director's Report The following is a summary of EDD activities. The packet information and responsible staff person(s) are shown in brackets. Verbal comments will only highlight key points. 1) Business Assistance Program: The initial round of interviews did not produce a clear candidate for the SBDC Directors position. It was decided to readvertise the position with a deadline of March 30th being set. We have had Steve Kirshbaum, the Statewide Rural Outreach Director for SBDC filling in while our search for a new SBDC Director is underway. Steve has a full plate every time he is in town. An excellent program has been designed and a wide variety of participants have been solicited for the March 30 Computer Symposium at Soldotna Middle School. (Chase) 2) Revolving Loan Fund: Our application to USDA, RE&CD was not awarded in the last go - round, but more winners will be selected in May. We will need to find matching money of up to $250,000 if the award is made. (Devito) s 3) Business Innovation Center: Our EDA grant application for $1 million appears to have cleared a hurdle in Seattle and is being forwarded to Washington, D.C. The odds of success are not known. Keep your fingers crossed. Also, the BIC has been granted tax exempt status by the Review Board for the coming year. (Devito) 4) North Pacific Volcano Interoretive Center (NPVIC): A Rural Development Assistance Grant application for $40,000 was turned down by the Department of Community and Regional Affairs. We may be requested to recycle this application through another grant program DCRA is sponsoring explore other options. Please refer to Resolution 95-17. Also, we are contacting previous respondents to our business plan/economic impact study to solicit proposals to finish this element of the project. A portion of the project under the first solicitation was not awarded because proposals were not seen to be fully responsive. (Bremond) 5) Ice Rink Economic Impact Study: A survey of hockey tournament players and their visiting families is in progress. (Bremond) 6) Youth Enterorise Proiet(Y P): We are carrying on a dialogue with the Ford Foundation in an attempt to spring another years funding. The EDD facilitated a contract with one of the youth teams, Handyworks, to enter into a contract with the City of Kenai to evaluate timber on city property. This team spent a day in training at AVTEC in Seward. (Bremond) 7) Information Program Development/Promotion: As an extension of our Borough information and research program, we are working with the Assessing Department to get an understanding of the current situation (who's here and who has fallen out) of the oil and gas service industry. (Devito) We are also sponsoring a booth at the Oil and Mining Construction Exposition in Anchorage, April 18-20. Our booth announcement will be in the Alaska Business Monthly. (Bremond) 8) Healthy Communities -Healthy People (HC-HP): Primary staff activities have been the very successful Village Fair (March 2), initiation of work under a newly awarded grant program ($4,000 EDD admin. to be recovered) to develop a networking center in the Central Peninsula, and development of community indicators to monitor community health status. The Central Peninsula Hospital budgeted a $10,000 challenge grant to HC-HP. The money has been utilized with respect to support of Big Brothers -Big Sisters and the Village Fair. (Hultberg) 9) Industry Recruitment: Over the last two weeks EDD staff has been very involved in working with a manufacturing group who is investigating a plant siting on the Kenai. More details will be shared at the meeting. (Steadman) 1 0) International Trade - Russia: Final award has been announced of a $40,000 grant through the American Russian Center to support Sakhalin oil industry personnel training at the Mining and Petroleum Training Service in Kenai. We are waiting to hear whether our grant on behalf of the Peninsula Clarion was successful to undertake journalist exchanges with the Sakhalin Region. A conversation with the American Russian Center reveals negotiations are underway for a large USIA grant to the state for community leader exchanges. (Biggs) 1 1 ) Shellfish Project: We are reviewing a draft contract for the operation of the Shellfish Hatchery and Mariculture Research Facility. Plans are to begin construction this summer. (Steadman) 12) Legislator Education: March 11-13, Steadman, Jim Chambers, and Jeff Murphy were in Juneau to meet with Legislators and attend Alaska Regional Development Organization (ARDOR) meetings with department heads. Key discussions centered around the role of job creation in welfare reform. ARDOR representatives recommended that job creation had to go hand -in -hand with job training. (Steadman) E) Business Action Items 1) Challenger Learning Center. EDD Resolution 96-1: The City of Kenai and the Challenger Learning Center Steering Committee request that the EDD adopt a resolution of support to go with the application packet to be a designated site. A recommendation will be forthcoming from the Executive Committee. (DeVito) 2) Healthy Communities -Healthy People Grant Application. KPO Resolution 96-1 (apptQYedl: Some of you were concerned at how this project came up and required a fast turn around. If fact, the effort to prepare this grant was a last minute one and the probability of success is low. The anticipated administrative overhead to EDD would be $45,000. The role of the EDD and the validity of the approach is not entirely clear. Once further detail is put to the project, if the EDD does not agree to it there is no mandate to accept the grant. (Hultberg) 3) Contract Prol2osal-Janet Boyce: A $5,000 plus expense contract has been prepared in draft form with Janet Boyce to, over the short-term, facilitate the work of staff and Board in the further development of the BIC Plan and in the production of an Outlook Forum to market the EDD and its products. The contract format is standard to our requirements and procedures. Janet is an experienced group facilitator and was a finalist for the SBDC Director position. She has been invited to facilitate the work session following these action items. A recommendation on the contract will be forthcoming from the Executive Committee. (Steadman) 4) Review BIC Interim Policy_: There have been requests and suggestions on the use of BIC space and facilities on an short-term basis until said space and facilities are placed in use by the BIC for the intended purpose. Policy options addressing short-term use will be discussed by the Executive Committee and any action reported to the full board. One request has come from Mr. Coma who would like to use the shed and neighboring grounds through this summer. Caution needs to be taken that the purposes for which tax exempt status was granted are upheld. (Steadman, DeVito) F) Luncheon Guests and Presentations 1) RCBD Executive Director, Mark Weatherstone: Mark was recently hired following a long process to establish the Kenai Peninsula Resource Conservation and Development District. He will describe purposes and upcoming activities of the RCBD. (Steadman) 2) GeoTech Geothermal Proiect. Glenn Dilley: This project is proposed on Mount Spur. Glen will give background and explain the need for EDD to be a project champion.

The minutes were approved as written, except that Peggy wanted to clarify her statement on page 10: the volume of water in Soldotna Creek is so much less than the Kenai River that the DOT salt pile may have a greater effect on fish there than in its former location in Soldotna. C. Agenda Changes and Approval. Jim asked the board to take public comment concurrently with item A. Item D, E, F and G were added. Item D: Moose Range Meadows Subdivision Update. Item E: Borough Ordinance concerns. Item F: Discussion of board member phone numbers. Item G: Jim Stratton comments per Jim Richardson. Agenda was revised and approved unanimously. II. PUBLIC COMMENT III. NEW BUSINESS A. Caymas Subdivision Draft MOU between Parks & Kenai Peninsula Borough. Margaret Spahn, a Boro Planning Department representative presented the background on this issue. The MOU would serve as an agreement between the Boro and Parks with Parks taking on the management of this Boro land. The end objective would be to facilitate a land exchange. Margaret provided some of the history for this parcel. In 1963 this 27 acre parcel was selected by the State with the State receiving title in 1966. In 1971 the Boro submitted a Municipal Selection Application, and the lands were tentatively approved for transfer in 1980. A 50 foot public easement was established before the Boro received its patent in 1981. Other easements on the property include a 33 foot access easement along the section line, a portion 'of which has been vacated, plus several utility easements. Since the easements needed to be platted, the Boro made it a subdivision. In 1984 there was a negotiated purchase attempt for 5 acres but it was denied by the Boro and Court. In 1995 the parcel was classified as "preservation" by resolution 95-31 in response of a KENAI RIVER SPECIAL MANAGEMENT AREA 2 ADVISORY BOARD - Minutes, March 7, 1996 development of an RV park to the south west of the parcel. That development was considered likely to increase the use of the parcel substantially. In Aug 1995 a draft MOU was drawn up with Parks. In the meantime, in Dec., 1995 a proposal was submitted to the Habitat Restoration and Recreation Enhancement EVOS staff for funding to provide habitat protection on this parcel. The 1st phase of the proposal consisted of fencing 300 feet of the bank with passive restoration, mostly to restrict bank access along with closure of the northern access road to a jetty. The proposal calls for the closure of all the areas north of the jetty, since they are very wet and sensitive. Educational signage is an important part of phase I. Phase II would be to more firmly direct public use. It would include designated trails and access to the gravel beds for anglers. Chris asked what the Boro would consider incompatible with the preservation designation. Margaret answered that "casual use" is allowed. Casual use does not allow for permanent trails, etc. II. PUBLIC COMMENT Brannon Ames spoke to the board as the Martins Creek neighborhood representative. The Martins Creek group got together in response to the RV park development. Brannon addressed some of his concerns: 1) Caymas subdivision is prime salmon rearing habitat according to the ADF&G 309 Study. Of ten areas that were graded, this one is second to the top. 2) Ms. Parker stated that the state realized the importance of the property as it is a critical habitat area for fish. There has been a significant increase of foot traffic in that particular area over the last 18 months. Degradation from 30 to over 100 feet of sluffing, damaged bank has been documented. 3) KPB does not have any Parks and recreation authority. 4) The MOU itself states it should be held in preservation status. That means to save for future. It could be translated into something else later. Does not say anything about casual use. Brannon then questions Section V. #2 of the MOU where it states "Manage recreational use activities". Brannon states to his understanding the meaning of preservation does not include anything about recreational use. Brannon refers to the same section #3 where it says "May provide for maintenance and operations of recreational facilities". Brannon says there are no facilities presently there, so does that mean there will be? And again in the same section #4 Brannon questions this as not being consistent with a preservation status. Brannon hopes the State and this board will consider what this all means. Brannon feels very strong about the preservation status and supports the MOU so long as it is consistent with the preservation classification status given it by the Assembly. KENAI RIVER SPECIAL MANAGEMENT AREA ADVISORY BOARD - Minutes, March 7, 1996 .. .3 Jim Richardson asks Brannon if the increase in the numbers of users are general public coming in or are they associated with the RV park. Brannon says they are exclusively from the RV park. Iry asks if the RV park visitors are accessing the area via foot or via boat. Brannon answers it is all foot traffic as there is no boat launch facility at the RV park. . Rob Robson, a local resident in the area then speaks. Rob supports an MOU between the State and the Boro. Rob has personally lived for 13 years in this area and has fished this area. He states that fishing access at this particular site is deplorable, and that the land should be managed for its most appropriate use - as preservation land. There is an eagle nest in the center of this property and this should be protected, plus the area is critical habitat for the river's ecosystem. An MOU would be an appropriate method of insuring that the land is preserved for its most important purpose. Rick McCrum then speaks to the board. He also lives in this area and was excited when the Boro developed a preservation status. He is very concerned about the draft MOU. Rick interprets this document as opening this land up. Rick explains it is too hard to fish that area as it is very brushy and the gravel bars Margaret had spoken of are only accessible in May or September. Water is too deep and swift. Even with stairway access, it would be dangerous. He is concerned about the increase in use generated from just a short time with the RV park. Rick states he is concerned if we do not protect this area now, the habitat will be totally compromised and lost. Rick wants this kept in a preservation status. Kirsten Deede then addresses the board. Expresses the fact that part of the process was to keep this in preservation. Kirsten favors an MOU but found the draft to be a very surprising document and not what was originally discussed. Kirsten does want an MOU but wants the land to be preserved. Concept of casual use or access leaves alot of room for more openings. Kirsten says to her preservation means preserving, as in "no use". There has definitely been a change from last season on the banks and she views that as a sign of what is to come. Kirsten views Caymas as being unique in its status and that great care must be taken in considering any changes - we do not have many opportunities to preserve untouched areas on this river. Suzanne appreciates the homeowners views. Parks has no objection to accepting this property under an MOU. Discussions will need to be conducted to consider the amount and type of public use that may be appropriate. Ted has concerns about the Parks' ability to stop the inappropriate KENAI RIVER SPECIAL MANAGEMENT AREA 4 ADVISORY BOARD - Minutes, March 7, 1996 use. He suggest if Parks cannot effectively preclude the use, extract some money from the developer for boardwalking. Ben states this property was mentioned by Doug Vincent -Lang (ADF&G) as a suggested area that might be appropriate to be closed to fishing. Ben suggest the board draft a letter to F&G to support closing this area to bank fishing. Ben also states it seems to be inconsistent with the State Park mission to try to close total access to the land. Ben says the MOU is disgusting. There should be no access whatsoever unless mitigation was made to ensure no net loss of habitat. Iry questions whether building board walks is consistent with the preservation status? Recommends that this board keep this property in preservation. Intended to be closed to start with. Sounds like a lousy place to f ish from the banks, so keep it closed. It might be okay to keep the jetty open and allow access from anglers arriving by boats. Define preservation status and keep it at that. Pat is very much opposed to any habitat loss on the river and if this is a significant habitat rearing area then she would support to keep it preserved. Ken Lancaster would definitely support preserving the land. Jim asks if staff could communicate with the boro about the MOU and negotiate with them. Don McKay suggests adding to the MOU a plan to include 100 feet of riparian buffer managed for habitat. Staff is directed to work with the Boro and report to the Board progress made toward a revised MOU which more clearly states that the habitat is to be protected as the top priority. B. Kenai River Comprehensive Management Plan Revision. 1. Public Involvement Process A working committee met to work out some of the details for two public workshops. The suggested dates are March 30 in Anchorage and April 6 in Soldotna. An interactive approach is planned to generate a collective vision for the Kenai River in the future. The public participants will be divided into small focus groups with Board members serving as facilitators of the groups. This will help in two ways - with the perception that this is a board driven process, as well as to insure that Board members are fully involved in this step in the process. The focus groups will deal with the main topics such as Habitat, KENAI RIVER SPECIAL MANAGEMENT AREA 5 ADVISORY BOARD - Minutes, March 7, 1996 Recreational Use, Land Use, and Environmental Issues separately, but will keep the vision statements separate if they're specific to a particular segment of the river rather than the whole river. The Kenai River Community Forum, sponsored by The Nature Conservancy will be happening at roughly the same time. (April 19-21) It was suggested that we combine these efforts to take advantage of participation at the Forum, while generating our visioning process at the same time. There was 45 minutes of discussion between the board members about whether or not to conduct the Soldotna public meeting for the revision of the KRCMP in conjunction -with the Kenai River Community Forum. Opposition centered on concerns that some members of the public might not feel comfortable with attending our function if it was associated with a function sponsored by TNC. The resulting plan might be criticized as having excluded some members of the public. The board voted 8 to 6 in favor of the above, however, as the meeting was wrapping up Michelle Brown of TNC suggested that the board have their own public meeting as she did not feel her steering committee would agree to all of the conditions the board asked for. (Note: subsequent to this meeting, the Kenai River Community Forum Steering Committee did not support the inclusion of our process into their planned event, so plans are underway to independently conduct our meeting in Soldotna on April 6.) 2. Plan of Study Discussion. Bruce Phelps reviews for the board the plan of study for revising the KRCMP. Bruce explains it is essentially how we are going to proceed, what people will be involved, staffing resources, planning, and finally the process and product. Plan of study is a statement of how we think we can revise this plan. There have been many changes over the past decade, and a different approach is needed to conduct this plan revision than in the original effort. The focus will be to try to update the plan utilizing the existing base. The planning area scope includes the whole watershed of the Kenai River including its tributaries. The other aspect is that the present KRCMP is a State management plan. If a new plan is going to work effectively for the Kenai River, it will have to be more than a State document. It should be an integrated management plan for the river. Local, Boro and Federal property will be considered, which means that we need to include those entities if there is to be success in the plan. The Plan needs to have recommendations that people will support, so the plan can be implemented. Bruce explains that available resources will be limited during the summer months as Parks and Fish and Game resource staff will be busy with other duties. Need to get work done by May 15 and then resume again in September. KENAI RIVER SPECIAL MANAGEMENT AREA 6 ADVISORY BOARD - Minutes, March 7, 1996 Bruce explains the draft work plan; generalized timeframe; revision project diagram. These are all handouts that were directly mailed to each board member. Bruce reviews the context of the diagrams showing when each phase will or should be completed. On the KRCMP Revision Project Diagram the first item listed is "Goal Identification". The board is central to that process. Public involvement will be necessary. The public meetings planned for Anchorage and Soldotna are critical for developing a sound foundation for the plan. The Anchorage public meeting will be March 30 at the First United Methodist Church on 9th Ave.. The Soldotna public meeting will be on April 6 at the Kenai Peninsula Borough building. Both meetings will be held from 9:30 am - 3:30 pm. Lunches will be provided to make the day as efficient as possible. Board members will be contacted regarding the roles they will be playing and meeting logistics. Facilitator training will be conducted prior to the meetings for Board members who volunteer for that role. Other Board members are needed as scribes for the focus groups. D. Update Moose Range Meadows Subdivision. Robin West briefly covered this issue: on the Salamatof property at Kenai River mile 25-28 there is a 2S feet public access easement; the easement is fixed, meaning that if it erodes, it is lost. Emergency closure was in effect last year prohibiting public access during the sockeye run. USFWS is working on an environmental assessment to develop alternatives to solving the dilemma. Public meeting was held on Feb 20 to discuss how to protect the easement and still provide alternate access. Grate walking would cost $250,000. A seasonal closure is planned in advance this year. E. BOROIS KENAI RIVER HABITAT ORDINANCE UPDATE. Pat expresses a deep concern this ordinance will not pass. Pat suggests writing another letter and be specific in urging them to use the simple language of the planning group and get on with it. The attorney has not done what people requested that he do, which was to incorporate the language suggested by the working group. Pat suggests any board member attend the next meeting to encourage the assembly to adhere to what the working group came up with. Iry concurs with that. If it is not the working group's rendition then we should oppose it. Tom encourages everyone to come to the Planning meeting Monday nite. Pat makes a motion that the letter that was written January 15 to Betty Glick be read into the record. We support the findings of the Working Group and their draft report and the Assembly is encouraged to use it as the guideline for the ordinance. KENAI RIVER SPECIAL MANAGEMENT AREA 7 ADVISORY BOARD - Minutes, March 7, 1996 Ted agreed to read a copy of the letter that was previously sent. C. Kenai River Center Update. This agenda item was not discussed as the time did not permit. F. Discussion of releasing Board member phone numbers. This discussion was held and all board members agreed that their phone numbers are public information, and may be released upon request by the public. G.

Local merchants and businesses are the backbone of our local economy. It is important that we as members of this community support these businesses. All anyone needs to do is read the "thank you" letters in our local newspaper to see how many youth programs and non-profit organizations are being supported by their generosity. MARK BEGICH Although a sales tax is charged on "YOUTH COURT" the Peninsula, let's remember what local sales tax dollars provide. Police, Fire, road maintenance, sports programs within our schools, and continuing education for our DAVE CUDDY students, are just a few. CANDIDATE US SENATE Remember, Buy Local Today: o It just makes good sense! \ .=Ome Service Corner It is important to remember that you cannot win an argument with e customer. If you are wrong, you've lost the argument, and probably their business as well. If you are right, and try to make the Customer admit to a mistake, you anger and embarrass them and lose their business AND the business of all their family and friends they tell.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has released a draft rule which. if it becomes final, would allow the federal agency to consider allowing the developers of the A-J mine nearJuneau to dispose of mine tailings in Stephens Passage. where the Taku Glacier naturally deposits tons of ground rock. If the draft rule becomes final, the A-J project would be released from the zero discharge requirement of the EPA's New Source Performance Standards. which prohibit the disposal of tailings in marine waters. The new rule would allow EPA to compare the environmental consequences of submarine tailings disposal to those of on -land disposal options. "It is important to note that the proposed change to the existing federal rule will not give the A-J a permit for tailings disposal," said Cliff Davis, Vice President. Alaska Projects, Echo Bay Mines Alaska. "It would simply allow EPA to consider additional types of tailings disposal alternatives through a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SETS)."

Writer & Editor Carl Portman G me working with state and federal regula- tors to communicate the concerns of Alaska's regulated community. With the draft report, DEC distrib- uted Alaska's Candidate Section 303(d) list. the so-called "impaired and threat- ened" waters — those which may not meet Alaska water quality standards. The report lists 55 waters around the state ranging from Campbell Creek in Anchorage and Harding Lake near Fairbanks to the King Salmon River in Western Alaska and Unalaska Bay and Akutan Harbor in the Aleutians. DEC describes various pollutant sources impairing or threatening water quality such as urban runoff, landfills. airport facility areas, total dissolved solids, mining operations, turbidity and seafood processing facilities. Development projects and communities situated near a listed waterbody will most likely face a tough burden of proof for de -listing, additional permitting hurdles and possible litigation. all potentially extremely expensive. In its comments, RDC noted that vast areas of Alaska lack water quality data. RDC pointed out that data is needed in certain priority areas and scarce state resources should be spent in those areas first. RDC strongly ob- jected to any assumption that lack of data could imply waterbodies are "sus- pected of being affected by pollutants." impaired or threatened. RDC recom- mends that DEC: - Require stricter qualifications and better evidence to get a waterbody listed on any list Improper listing as "suspect. impaired or threatened" will create significant costs to local governments. the public and the regulated community. so there should be a clear screenina process to eliminate mistakes from the beginning. Many of the waters now named are arguably listed. Others are delineated inappropriately huge and vague, e.g., all Kenai Peninsula and North Slope wetlands. One written anecdote, coupled with lack of data. is enough to get a waterbody listed, yet it takes testing and evidence with credible documenta- tion to get a waterbody off the list. This is inappropriate methodology and over- reaches any scientific standards, much less the "reasonable person" test. - Expand and simplify "de -listing" criteria At present, there are only thr, ways (or criteria) for de -listing and th, are very precise. One requires waterbody assess- ments which call for total maximum daily load analyses (TMDLs). Addition- ally, an EPA -approved waterbody re- covery plan must be implemented ano underway. The second criteria allows certified sewage lagoons to get off the list and the last requires "credible docu- mentation that State WaterQualityStan- dards have been met." In a state as enormous as Alaska. getting a waterbody de -listed promises to be a regulatory "make-work" pro- gram for consultants and lawyers, cost- ing the regulated communities and in- dustries dearly. The weight of evidence necessary to get off the list should be commensurate with evidence to get on the list. - Exclude or de -list from the 303 (d) list any waterbody undergoing reclassification in Alaska until the reclassification is approved by EP ^ The EPA reclassification proces Alaska waterbodies is arduous and corTi, ., cated enough without overlaying the 303(d) process. Both processes are EPA controlled.

Roberts, on the right side of photo. Surface impact is equivalent to the development of a single retail department store. Echo Bay submits 300-page permit application for A-J (Continued from page 1) option to be chosen, Davis said it would have to be selected by the EPA after the environmental consequences of all dis- posal alternatives hadbeen determined and compared with marine disposal. He emphasized that the rule change would only authorizethe agency to con- sider a greater array of tailings disposal alternatives. "To argue against the rule the EPA has proposed would be to say that the EPA should not even have the authority to consider additional alternatives through an SEIS," Davis said. Davis addressed a crowd of 75 business executives at the Thursday, March 7 RDC breakfast meeting in Anchorage. Echo Bay has been working hard since 1988 to reopen the Juneau mine. spending more than $9©million to gather baseline studies and do what is neces- sary to acquire city, state and federal permits. Once in operation, the mine ,ill generate 400 full-time jobs with an .nnual payroll of $20 million. Total an- nual economic impact to the Juneau area is projected to be $70 million. Yet the mine's surface facilities wiU occupy less than 20 acres. Submarine disposal of tailings was noted in early drafts of an Environmen- tal Impact Statement as being the most environmentally -sound method of tail- ings disposal, but EPA ruled that ma- rine disposal could not be considered as a possible option because of federal rules. Tailings is the leftover materials — rock, sand and gravel — from which gold ore is extracted during the mining process. Much of downtown Juneau is built on mine tailings from previous operation of the A-J Mine. Because of the federal rule ban- ning disposal of mine tailings in marine waters, Echo Bay has been working toward on -land disposal sites. Of the legally available on -land options, Echo Bay determined that the best alterna- tive was to construct a dam that would back up the upper portion of Sheep Creek into a lake, creating a large pond in the Sheep Creek Valley near Juneau into which tailings would be disposed. In December 1994, the EPA com- pleted a supplemental two-year envi- ronmental study of the A-J project and published its findings in a Technical Assistance Report (TAR). The EPA re- port was designed to assist the U.S. Corps of Engineers in deciding what requirements the Corps would need to include in the permit issued to allow construction of the Sheep Creek tail- ings pond. The EPA reached several conclusions in the TAR, principally that the tailings disposal pond at Sheep Creek would not allow federal water quality standards to be met when water was released from the pond into Gastineau Channel. Echo Bay disagreed with EPA's findings, but followed with a proposal to completely eliminate the use of cyanide at the A-J in favorof implementing gravity recovery methods similar to those used during the early operation of the mine. Using this method, a concentrate would be formed which could be shipped out to the international market for final processing. These new plans, however, were not evaluated as part of the TAR process. In the TAR, the EPA turned down Echo Bay's proposal to put a tailings impoundment at Sheep Creek, but the agency determined that the assump- tions in federal rules applying to tailings ponds may not accurately fit the unique climatic and surface conditions that exist in Southeast Alaska and the situation at the A-J mine.

MARCH 1996 / RESOURCE REVIEW / Page 3 AWRTA DECISION DRAWS FIRE "They took the heart out of some of these timber sales." - Rep. Bill Williams Environmentalists and the Forest Service call it a -compromise" which will open timber in the northern Tongass National Forest to logging, but Tim- ber industry officials, Alaska's congressional delegation and legislative leaders say it's nothing but a sham which deliberately misleads the public. At issue is a settlement pertaining to 280 million board feet of timber tied up in a lawsuit brought against the Forest Service by the Alaska Wilderness Recreation and Tourism Association, a group founded and spearheaded by environmentalists in Southeast Alaska. Last month Agriculture Secretary Dan Glickman announced that a limited settlement had been reached to end the lawsuit and open about 100 million board feet of timberto logging. Because of the economics of access and logistical considerations, only about 46 million board feet of that timber is feasible to harvest. "Only a full harvest of the locked -up timberwill restorethejobs and economic stability to timber communities in Southeast Alaska," said Senator Drue Pearce in response to the settlement. "Calling this a `fair settlement' is an oxymoron," said House Speaker Gail Phillips. "If the so-called negotiated settlement is accepted by the court, it will have the net effect of negotiating away Alaska jobs." All of the timber held hostage in the lawsuit had already been cleared for harvest through a costly environmental Ketchikan Pulp Company recently announced the closure of its two sawmills in SoutheastAlaska due to the timbershortage. mpact statement which involved years of field work and volumes of public comments. Environmentalists sued to block the timber harvests and force the government to go through a whole new and costly NEPA process all overagain, simply because the timber was origi- nally sold to a mill that had closed and ,vould now go to other mills in South- east starved for wood. "Revisiting this process could take at least two years to complete, and would serve no purpose other than to tighten the noose around the necks of our remaining timberfamilies." said state Rep. Bill Williams in a letterto Glickman. "Can you explain to me why this process should be repeated? Are the timber harvesting practices used by the Ketchikan Pulp Company or the independent companies so different than those used by the Alaska Pulp Corporation?" Another environmental review will cost taxpayers more than S5 million without providing additional environ- mental protection. A number of mills have closed in the region and others have been forced to cut back operations due to a chronic timber supply shortage sparked by other environmental lawsuits and adminis- trative actions which have closed more than two-thirds of all commercial forest lands in the Tongass to logging. Since 1990. 42 percent of high -paying, year- round timber jobs in Southeast have disappeared. The Alaska Forest Association, which is a party to the AW RTA lawsuit, was excluded from closed door meet- ings between environmentalists andthe Clinton administration. During these meetings last month, the other two par- ties reached a settlement agreement which was then presented to the AFA in a take -it -or -leave -it fashion. "in the spirit of compromise, AFA of- fered a counter proposal which was re- jected," explained Jack Phelps, the organization's executive director. "The AFA then asked for an all -party settlement con- ference which the court denied" Referring to the environmentalists and the Clinton administration, the court said it "sees no advantage in leading two horses to water that obviously have no intention of drinking." Phelps says the proposed settle- ment "puts us in a worse position than losing the entire case in court." He said many of the sales which the govern- ment and environmentalists reconfigured in the closed door meetings are either inaccessible or uneconomic. Phelps pointed out that the settle ment nets the timber industry nothin, since environmentalists are planning to litigate on an equal amount of timber elsewhere in the forest. "The public needs to understand that this is really an effort by the Clinton administration. in league with environ- mental groups to halt timber harvest in the Tongass.- Phelps said. "The envi- ronmentalists' pattern on the Tongass in cases like this has been to request an SEIS and then sue on the SEIS when it comes out years later." AFA is asking for a reasonable settlement discussion that would result in significant relief from the severe timber shortage facing Southeast mills. The Alaska House and Senate majorities, as well as the Alaska congressional delegation. are supporting the request. The Majorities have filed a friend -of - the -court brief asking the Courtto either release all timber involved, order a settlement conference between the industry, the plaintiffs and the Forest Service or give timber communities day in court to comment on th, settlement. "They took the heart out of some of these timber sales," said Rep. Williams. Page 4 / RESOURCE REVIEW / MARCH 1996 Forestry yaw under assault Responcinc .o a highly critical report compiled by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) on the effectiveness the Alaska Forest Practices Act (FPA), the Alaska Board of Forestry says the state law on timber harvesting is :corking well in protecting salmon habitat and water quality. There are. r cwever, several issues of concern the Board will investigate. including interrai disputes between ADF&G ana the Alaska Department of Natural Resources (DNR) on enforce- ment authority and the need for addi- tional protectinr. measures for some small streams and flood plains. The Board of Forestry established a ;fence/Technical Committee consist- ing of industry representatives and offi- cials from DNR and ADF&G to address ,,science" related issues raised in the report. Governor Tony Knowles also cre- ated a Forest P,actices Act Task Force to provide guidance and support to the forestry boards technical committee and help it evaluate the magnitude of issues raised. the avaiiability of information to address them a-o recommend solutions as may be necessary. The FPA is a delicately crafted com- promise among very diverse interest groups. RDC :.as an active participant in the early decates on the FPA. and some RDC members felt that the act went too far in accommodating con- cerns of non -development groups. How- ever, in the interest of compromise, RDC did not block attempts to reach the final consensus that led to the FPA. The Kno`%,.es administration at this time has no intention of opening the act for statutory or regulatory amendments "ithout signific-ant evidence that the act failing to protect fish habitat and wa- ter quality. Krc:: ies has made clear the ADF&G repot --oes not represent the position of his administration. The 4.000-plus acres remaining under consideration for salvage harvest in the northern Chucacn represent only a fraction of the hundrees of thousands of acres of trees stricken by the beetle to the nations second largest natiorai forest. Forest Service scales back proposed salvage harvest, buffers required In response to a wave of adverse public comment on the proposed salvage harvest of beetle -killed or threatened timber on the Kenai Peninsula, the U.S. Forest Service has cut some of the more controversial acreage from the program. The acreage eliminated. 20 percent of the 5.500 acres targeted for harvesting, includes timber in the Seattle Creek. Resurrection and Palmer Creek drainages of the Chugach National Forest. All of the ti:.moer in the Seattle Creek drainage identified in the preliminary proposal. as wen as most of the timber in the Sixmile CreeK area adjacent to Turnagain Arm. has oeen eliminated from the proposed sale. Much of the acreage eliminated from the sale would have required road access near backcountry hiking trails. including the Resurrection. The Forest Service has also made a decision to not log the Ingram Creek drainage at this time. The Ingram Creek timber will be evaluated in a couple of years as part of the Forest Service's regular timber harvesting program. Approxi— tely 4,425 acres of beetle -infested federal timber in the area is still under anal,Ys s for salvage harvest and re -forestation. a tiny fraction of beetle - infested timber in the Chugach as a whole. The Forest Service is planning to release for public comment in April an Environmental Assessment/Biological Evaluation (EA/BE) fortimber in the Sixmile and Resurrection/Palme- Creek drainages teat has not been dropped from the sale. In addition. it plansto begin scoping the PrimroseiSnow River areathis spring. An EA, -'BE on that timber is planned as part cf the Forest Service's normal timber program and is currently not planned to fail under the provisions of the federal Salvage Amendment. In addition to Sixmile and Resurrection; Paimer, the other areas that the Forest Service will be considering under the provisions of the Salvage Amendment will be a saie in the Juneau Creek/Cooper Landing Area, one at Frenchy Creek and two sales under the Moose Pass Cooperative Project— North Shore and Moose Pass salvage sales. rCor--:)ea to page 6) � Conrinueo tc : =ce 6) MARCH 1996 RESOURCE REVIEW / Page 5 Salvage timber sales (Continued from page 5) Industry disputes ADF&G report calling Six alternatives have been devel- ,ped for the remaining zones in the Sixmile acreage not dropped from the saivage proposal. Under Alternative B, he Forest Service's scoping proposal, he emphasis would be on salvage of Jead, dying and at risk trees. The ob- ective under this alternative is to re- ducetheriskoffuturesprucebarkbeetle i mortality while capturing economic i value. Site preparation methods would be used to accelerate regeneration of spruce forests. A total of 1,195 acres would be treated under this alternative to create a diverse forest. Approximately 12,000 board feet of spruce and hem- lock would be salvaged with harvests occurring in two units west of Sixmile Creek. Units east of Sixmile, along Turnagain Arm, have been dropped from all plans. The scoping proposal bans roads on the east side of Sixmile Creek, re- quiring access by helicopters between October 1 and April 30 to reduce con- flicts with recreational use during the I summer. Sixty-six foot buffers would be left on each side of tributaries within harvest units to maintain water quality. Visual buffers would be used on units adjacent to Sixmile Creek. Those buff- ers would be at least 100 feet in width and would have reduced harvesting activities. Stumps within the area would be angled away from the river and cut low to reduce their visibility. In order to accelerate the regen- eration of replacement forests, 215 of the acres treated would be replanted and approximately 512 acres treated would be prepared for regeneration. Four other alternatives target 3.200 to 9,000 board feet of timber for salvage logging. Two alternatives are designed to protect the Wild and Scenic eligibility status of Sixmile Creek and to meet visual objectives. Both alternatives would use patch cuts designed to appear more natural by following the patterns of natural openings in the area. Only several hundred acres are included in both alternatives. The No Action Alternative would increase the number of standing dead trees, as well as mpacts to other resources. warned the Forest Service. Page 6 / RESOURCE REVIEW / MARCH 199E for stronger FPA (Continued from page 5) "We see these reports as a first step and the start of a dialogue to inte- grate the differing perspectives on FPA issues within the administration." Knowles said in a letter to RDC. "It would be irresponsible to propose statu- tory or regulatory amendments to the FPA without a rigorous public review and convincing arguments the act is not adequately protecting fish habitat and water quality." This year's annual reports on the act by ADF&G, DNR and DEC marked the first time the resource agencies have significantly diverged in their re- spective assessments on how well the FPA is working. Each agency has been given responsibility in their area of ex- pertise to provide views on the FPA. In a letter to Governor Knowles last month, RDC strongly disagreed with ADF&G's claims that the FPA is not working, that there is no monitoring being done on the effectiveness of the act and that revisions are needed. RDC told the governor ADF&G has not only stepped over the line, but its recom- mendations clearly go beyond the level of protection originally agreed to by the original drafters of the FPA. RDC charged that the report contains questionable findings. leaving out important information and failing to differentiate between opinion and fact. One key principal of the act. RDC noted, was that any successful system must be based on shared risk and incentives for both timber owners and regulators. Yet in its report. ADF&G wants a protection standard of basically zero risk to fish habitat or water quality. The 1989 FPA report states that "neither fish nor timber should bear an inordinate share of the burden: that a balanced must be found." The FPA report also stated that -no private land- owner should have to bear an unusu- ally large burden.' ADF&G would like to double the size of buffer zones aiong rivers and streams. but such a move would only (Continued to page 7) EPA may expand options for tailings disposal at A-J (Continued from page 3) The EPA is now in the process of looking at whether the existing federal rules — the New Source Performance Standards — were intended to apply to mines in situations like those that exist for the A-J project in Southeast Alaska, with its high rainfall, steep mountain terrain and proximity to seawater. If the EPA determines that the existing rules did not consider all the variables, then I the agency will be able to compare the environmental impacts of submarine disposal to other tailings disposal options. What the ruiemaking process does not do is give a permit for the A-J project or exempt the EPA from preparing a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement. l The SEIS will compare the environmental impacts of tailings disposal alternatives and it will determine if the tailings disposal permit can be issued to Echo Bay forthe mine. Through the SEIS, environmental consequences of various alternatives will be examined, including Echo Bay's proposed Sheep Creek site which will be studied for its impacts without the use of cyanide. Echo Bay has completed a new 300-page permit application to EPA for disposing tailings at the mouth of Taku Inlet through a 9-mile underwater pipe- line, eliminating cyanide from process- ing and placing its surface facility at the Thane Road rock dump. RDC members are asked to write to the EPA and the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation by April 12 to support the proposed rule allow- ing EPA to study and compare the environmental impacts of a broader array of tailings disposal alternatives under the unique surface and climatic conditions of Southeast Alaska, inciud- ing submarine tailings disposal.

He and I agreed that the residents have several unattractive vehicles sitting around their home; however, it would be difficult to prove that any are wrecked and/or abandoned, as described in Title 12 of the KMC. I've also written them a letter regarding the operating of a business at this location. They denied the operation of a business and had an explanation for every vehicle. We will continue to keep an eye on this situation for any violations of Title 14 of the h'MC.
