The House Trans- portation and Infrastructure Committee is moving fast. Committee Chairman Bud Shuster (R-Pa.) and water re- sources and environment sub- committee Chairman Sher- wood Boehlert (R-N.Y.) are putting final touches on a proposal that could be intro- duced by Dec. 8. That plan will be similar to a drinking water bill offered by the trans- portation panel last year. Shuster's committee only has jurisdiction over drinking water funding. The Senate version autho- rizes $1 billion per year through 2003 for drinking water state revolving funds. It also lets states shift up to half of their drinking water SRFs to Clean Water SRFs, which finance wastewater treatment plant construc- tion. The Commerce Commit- tee is moving more slowly. It has the lead House respon- sibility for drinking water, in- cluding regulatory matters. The committee may not have a bill ready to be introduced until the spring. Commerce staffers are ex- pected to meet this week with Dirk Kempthorne (R-Ida- ho) , the Senate bill's lead au- thor, to discuss legislative plans. Drinking water is `on everyone's short list," says an aide to Rep. Michael Bili- rakis (R-Fla.), chairman of House Commerce's health and environment subcom- mittee. It is just a question of scheduling. To preserve drinking wa- ter funds, a bill must be en- acted by June, a Kempthorne aide says. "That is the only deadline," says the aide. OBSERVER People in the U.S. "have made it so very clear they be- lieve the level of immigration is too high," he says, adding that immigration numbers rose from 170,000 in 1953 to 904,000 in 1993. The Im- migration and Naturaliza- tion Service says 1994's total was 798,395. Simpson, the bill's prime sponsor, also an- nounced he will retire next year at the end of his term. The U.S. branch of the In- stitute of Electrical and Elec- tronics Engineers backs the bill. The American Associa- tion of Engineering Societies is convening a meeting Dec. 14 to discuss IEEE's approach to the bill, says Brian Dough- erty, AAES manager of gov- ernment relations. Final ac- tion on the bill isn't likely this year but could come in 1996, he says. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers has decided not to take a posi- tion on the bill, says Pam Becker, manager of govern- ment relations, communica- tions and operations. She says ASME has decided it has .an international focus," and taking a stance would not be a wise thing to do right now. The National Society of Professional Engineers is aware of the bill. Charles Campbell, NSPE government relations director, says it has not been a major issue with members. Simpson seeks immigration cuts. Martinez on hold for BuRec post One of the 70 Clinton administration civilian nominees awaiting Senate confirmation is Eluid L. Mar- tinez, President Clinton's choice to head the Bureau of Reclamation. Martinez re- tired last year as New Mexi- co State Engineer and was approved by the Senate En- ergy and Natural Resources Committee Oct. 11. By press time, the full Senate had not yet acted. Deborah Schwarz, BuRec spokeswoman, says agency officials believe con- firmation could come in ear- ly December. "We don't know what the hang-up is," Schwarz says. Martinez has lots of company in line: No civilian nominee had cleared the Senate since Oct. 27. If he is approved, Martinez would succeed Daniel P. Beard, who re- signed effective Sept. 1 as Bu- Rec's chief. Provision stalls FY96 funding for Dept. of Labor provision that prohibits funding for President Clinton's striker replacement executive order continues to hold up Senate considera- tion of the fiscal 1996 appro- priations bill for the Depts. of Labor, Health and Hu- man Services, and Education. Work on the measure may not be complete by Dec. 15, when the government again is slated to run out of mon- ey. A House provision to lim- it funds spent by the Nation- al Labor Relations Board to investigate union "salting" practices became moot since the Supreme Court's Nov. 28 Town and Country ruling (ENR 12/4, p. 11).

Box 2026 Kenai, Alaska 99611 Dear Community Leader: Kids Voting was created because of the dismal voter turnout in our country. If history repeats itself, less than 36% of all 18-24 year olds will vote and only half of all eligible voters will cast a ballot for our next president. Central Peninsula League of Women Voters is actively seeking your involvement to challenge voter indifference. Kids Voting is that challenge. The idea and the process is simple. Public school teachers in the Soldotna- Kenai area will receive exciting Kids Voting materials, lessons on the rights and responsibilities of citizenship and the democratic process. These lessons can be presented separately or integrated into existing curriculum. These are provided at no cost to the schools, simply requiring the support of the school district and local school administration. Then, on election day, students accompany their parents to their polling site where they cast their "vote" for their favorite candidate on their own Kids Voting ballot in their own polling booths. Hundreds of volunteers, teachers, parents and community members across our state are involved in this exciting voter education program. Bottom line.... Kids Voting works!! During the 1994 election there were over 70,000 students in Alaska participating in Kids Voting: • Adult voter turnout increased by more than 3% in those school districts • 97% of the parents talked to their child about elections because of Kids Voting • 40% of the adults indicated their were better informed about issues and candidates Please be a part of making Kids Voting happen on the Kenai Peninsula. Come to an organizational meeting on Saturday, February 3, at 10:30 a.m., Soldotna High School Library. Sincerely, Jean DeVenney, President 262-8740 Alyeska Pipeline Service Company Alascom • National Bank of Alaska KIDS VOTING ALASKA INFORMATIONAL PACKET Kids Voting Alaska F,O.

The lack of interest and indifference of our fellow citizens in voting - a right that is fundamental to our democracy - is disturbing. Fifty percent of our eligible citizens do not vote in presidential elections; only 36% of those eligible voted in 1990 which was the lowest in 42 years, and in 1992, the apparent resurgence of voting only resulted in a 5% increase in turnout; seventy percent do not participate in local elections. Less than 16% of eligible young adults between the ages of 18 and 24 voted in 1990 and only 36% voted in 1992; fewer than 40% of those 18 to 21 years old were even registered to vote. Most states have a requirement of 16 years of age to drive and 21 years of age to drink, but communities throughout our country have lowered the age limit to "vote" to 5 years of age. Over 2.3 million students from kindergarten to 12th grade have gone to the polls and cast their vote - most of them along with their parents - on the same candidates and issues as the adults. They were all part of KIDS VOTING USA, a non-profit, non partisan voter education program. Voting on election day was the culminating experience of the program in which students participated in 8-12 hours of curriculum lessons on voting rights and responsibilities, issues and candidates. Not only were they exposed to the basics of an election, they actually experienced the steps in decision making and information gathering skills, and more importantly, the empowerment of the vote. The students were not "lectured" but were active participants in the research, discussion and debate both in the classroom and at home. They talked about the election with their parents and then went to the polls to cast their own ballot in their own "KIDS VOTING" booth. Their votes were tabulated and reported to the media. The project, started by three Arizona civic and business leaders, is modeled after a similar one in Costa Rica, a strong democracy with a consistent voter turnout of 80% - 90%, the highest of any western democracy. The reason is that for more than 40 years the children of Costa Rica have discussed election issues in the classroom and at home and then voted on their own ballot at the side of their parents on election day. A pilot project in metropolitan Phoenix in 1988 expanded statewide in Arizona in 1990 and then went nationwide with an eleven state project in 1992. Alaska was one of the eleven states in 1992. By 1994 Kids Voting had spread to 20 states reaching 2.3 million students. _ncri __r or- mT __l-tiC4 P105 3 4 961111�'. The mission of Kids Voting is two -fold: First and primary is to create lifetime voters. The program seeks to prepare current and future generations of informed voters to participate in greater numbers in the democratic process. The curriculum is designed with participatory activities which emphasize self-discovery. Students are encouraged to gather information and make critical decisions. They not only learn about the importance and empowerment of voting through their own actions. Over 90% of the students surveyed have indicated that voting is either important or very important Secondly, to realize an increase in adult voter turnout. research has demonstrated that Kids Voting is responsible for an average 3% increase in voter turnout in communities where the program has been provided, Furthermore, over 40% of the parents surveyed indicated that they were better informed because of Kids Voting. Finally, Kids Voting is grounded on the premise of involvcment. Volunteers as well as community and parental participation has been critical to the success of this program. Through statewide corporate sponsors, community boards, precinct workers, local contributors, committed teachers and school administrations Kids Voting has become a reality for over 70,000 Alaska students. DFC- 5-q!; TIIP 11:55 P. 06 4 I Kids Voting Works I In 1988 a pilot program in the East Valley area of metropolitan Phoenix involved 30,000 students in the democratic process. In 1992 the Kids Voting network branched into 11 states including Alaska. By 1994 .Kids Voting USA.. projects have grown to 20 states involving 2.3 million students, 100,000 teachers, in 3,000 schools, in 8,000 voter precincts and has benefited from over 50,000 volunteers. Each year immediately following the election, Kids Voting has conducted research and surveys of each project. This has included a comparison of voter turnout data that assessed voter turnout in precincts with Kids Voting and precincts without the program as well as opinion surveys of students. teachers, administrators, parents and volunteers to determine the effectiveness and impact of the program. A consortium chaired by Bruce Merrill, Ph.D., Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Telecommunication, Arizona State University has conducted research each year since 1992. In addition Dr Steven Chaffee of Stanford University has conducted independent research based on his desire to know more about the effect of Kids Voting. Dr Jack McLeod from the University of Wisconsin -Madison conducted his own review of Kids Voting using the same data collected by Dr. Chaffee. These researchers have reached some tremendously powerful and positive conclusions about the effect Kids Voting is having. Gets Parents and other Voters to the Polls. One of the criteria for Kids Voting is that for elementary students to vote they must be accompanied by their parent or an adult. Because of Kids Voting, voter turnout in project com- munities increased overall by approximately 3%. This translates into nearly 80,000 more adults who would not have voted in 1994 were it not for Kids Voting. F1d�LYoter Apathy. The media attention, voter registration drives and parent -student election discussions at home and within the community all contribute to increased adult awareness and motivation about voting. In 1994 71% of the students surveyed reported that they went home and discussed the elections with their parents. 97% of the parents reported that they had talked with their children about voting and elections because of Kids Voting. And over 40 % of the parents indicated that they were better informed because of Kids Voting, s&tiUs a Voting Habit. By the year 2004, the kindergartners of 1992 may have voted seven to ten times through Kids Voting and thereby dispelling the "mystique" of voting and overcoming potential barriers to voting. Dr Chaffee has concluded that, "they have become active and attentive citizens, and the skills they learned then are unlikely to be reversed as they continue to grow. Creato &Sense of CommunilL Kids Voting is a unique partnership that requires the involvement of the entire community, including business, educa- tion and civic leadership. 5 Generates excitement In the Classroom. Of the teachers surveyed 89% had either favorable or very favorable attitudes about Kids Voting. Over 80% of the teachers felt that Kids Voting has increased parental involvement in the electoral process and school activities. Fosters Critical Thinking,, The votes of the students did not mirror that of their parents, demonstrating independent thinking and the desire to voice their own opinions on the issues. Overall the students would have re-elected Bush over Clinton and supported Perot in greater numbers than the adults. Support or defeat of propositions by students also differed from the adults in several states. Breaks Down arriers. Research has shown that "Kids Voting had a powerful effect in stimulating communication in students from lower Socio- economic backgrounds, bringing them up to par with those who otherwise would have been more active communicators". Bottom Line Kids Voting "works"N Alaska has been included in all of the Kids Voting research and our results have paralleled the national research. We have grown from a pilot program in Fairbanks in 1992 involving 16,000 students to over 70,000 students participating in. 1994. By 1996 we will be in 20 school districts and will include over 100,000 students in a practical application of the democratic process, Hundreds of volunteers, teachers, parents, and community leaders are involved to continue this positive and exciting program for kids. P, How to Initiate a Kids 'Voting Project KIDS VOTING ALASKA is a licensee of KIDS VOTING USA, The following discusses how to get started, services and resources KIDS VOTING ALASKA offers to Alaskan communities/school districts and the criteria for implementing a KIDS VOTING project. h 1� • Depending on the size and scope of the project and the ability of the sponsoring group or individual to mobilize community and education leadership and human and financial resources, a minimum of six to twelve months prior to election day is necessary to organize and implement a successful KIDS VOTING project. • Efforts to determine interest should include scheduling a meeting with key community leaders representing education (school district administrators including the Superintendent, principals and teachers as appropriate), --�' businesses, local media, financial institutions, civic groups, and local governmental leaders to introduce KIDS VOTING. The Kids Voting Alaska Statewide Executive Director can assist in preparing materials and making the presentation. • If interest is strong, the sponsoring group or individual should secure \ endorsement of key leadership in the community whose support is critical to implementation - school board, superintendent of schools, local elected officials, others as appropriate to each community. • If there is a commitment to implement the program, then the sponsoring group or individual should proceed to sign a LETTER OF AGREEMENT and become an approved KIDS VOTING ALASKA project. An Implementation Fee of $500.00 plus 7.5 cents per student is collected from each approved project. The overall cost of implementing KIDS VOTING is approximately two dollars per student with approximately 70% of the cost covered through in -kind services. 1161VVIM►N 1614 g CIN To ensure the integrity of the program KIDS VOTING USA requires that all projects adhere to the basic standards listed on ATTACHMENT A.

KIDS VOTING ALASKA, a non-profit, non -partisan voter education program is founded by Alyeska Pipeline Service Company and public broadcaster KUAC-TV/FM in April, 1992, and pilots first project In Fairbanks for November,1992, Presidential Election. . In September and October,1992, KIDS VOTING curriculum lessons excite Fairbanks K-12 students about the rights and responsibilities of voting while developing information gathering and critical thinking skills. • November 4,1992, more than 9,600 students accompany their parents to their neighborhood polling sites and cast their own KIDS VOTING ballot alongside their parents. . Fairbanks sees highest voter turnout in the state by more than 4%. Election Officials believe, "we owe this difference to KIDS VOTING." . Success of pilot project leads to statewide expansion plans with continuing sponsorship from Alyeska Pipeline Service Company and new sponsorships from Anchorage Daily News and Alascom. . Anchorage becomes first expansion project. Spring of 1993 finds over 46,000 students malting history by participating in nation's first ever KIDS VOTING MUNICIPAL ELECTION. Nearly 20,000 students voted for municipal assembly and schoo board members, on sales tax and other bond issues on April 20,1993. . Research results indicated approximately 4% of Anchorage residents said KIDS VOTING was a determining factor in their decision to vote and 27% said KIDS VOTING Increased their awareness of city issues. . October 5,1993 found Fairbanks students voting in their first local election and the first ever KIDS VOTING consecutive year election. .

"By ensuring our children become unformed voters who realize the importance of each and every vote, we will be planting the seeds for a thriving, secure democracy in the future. KIDS VOTING ALASKA plays a critical role in this process by bringing educators, volunteers, and parents together to teach our students the value of community involvement" Tony Knosvies Governor "KIDS VOTING promotes civic responsibility and brings to the classroom one of the most important lessons we can teach our children; our most esteemed privilege and powerful freedom is our right to vote!" Fran Ulmer Lieutenant Governor "KIDS VOTING is an excellent way to inform students about the democratic process, excite them about elections and motivate them and their parents to vote. No matter what the outcome of the elections, everyone is a "winner" who helps preserve and promote the democratic process." Richard S. Cross, Superintendent Fairbanks North Star Borough School District "Now at lunch time, I hear my students talking about politics and politicians in an informed way. It wasn't like that when I was in fifth grade."

The Daubenspecks have no objections to a developer building a senior citizen condominium complex on the site. The Kenai Historic District Board wishes to use the portion of Tract C near the bluff for a parking area and for an interpretative sign. The city also has several quonset huts that are being used for storage within Tract C. These areas are not included in the property needed for the condominium complex. Last June, the city discovered an underground storage tank on Tract C. At this time, the size and past use are unknown. An investigation as to past owners may help identify potential responsible parties. The city intends to have the tank removed prior to leasing or selling the property. A site investigation of material on the property may need to be performed in the Spring. The boundaries depicted on the attached map are approximate depending upon the developer's needs, location of the quonset huts, underground storage tank, etc. A lease application can be submitted if Ordinance 1671-96 is passed, making the property available for lease or sale. At that time a survey can be ordered. Kenai Municipal Code states that disposal or sale of lands shall be made only when, in the judgment of the City Council, such lands are not required for a public purpose. The Planning and Zoning Commission discussed this matter at their September 27, October 12, and October 25 meetings. Some of the Commissioners felt the corridor or a portion of the corridor along Bridge Access Road should be zoned Commercial for future commercial development. The area is currently zoned Suburban Residential. The Commission voted to recommend the property be made available for lease or sale. The issue was discussed by the Parks and Recreation Commission on October 5 and December 7. One of the issues the Parks and Recreation Department addressed was the as -built survey of what is known as the FAA football field, located adjacent to the Daubenspeck Property. It appears the goal posts, which the city obtained a State Parks grant for in 1973, were actually placed on the Daubenspeck Property rather than on the FAA football field. If the City Council determines this portion of the Daubenspeck property may be leased or sold, these goal posts should be moved to the FAA football field. The Commission moved to recommend the property be made available for lease or sale providing that access not be denied to the historical area.

Under New Business, add The National Car Rental Agency's request to terminate their lease. Add as 6a. Under Information, add the letter from Mr. VanZee. HENRY KNACKSTEDT MOVED TO APPROVE THE AGENDA AS AMENDED. MOTION SECONDED BY RON HOLLOWAY. APPROVED. Approval of Minutes December 14, 1995 RON HOLLOWAY MOVED FOR APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF DECEMBER 14, 1995. MOTION SECONDED BY HENRY KNACKSTEDT. APPROVED. Persons Present Scheduled to be Heard Old Business New Business National Car Rental Lease Termination Letter Chairman Thibodeau related that National Car Rental Agency stated in their letter it was their intention to vacate their lease as of January 18'. Mr. Ernst stated that the contracts for the car rental agencies allows for a rescission agreement for their lease space by mutual consent. Ernst stated what is needed is the Airport Commission's recommendation to the council that you accept their letter and to rescind their lease. If that is how the Commission feels; if not, then it would be necessary to determine how much they would owe for the remainder of the lease. Ernst stated he did not feel it was necessary to do that. Knackstedt asked if they were paid up to date. Ernst stated they were paid up to date. Holloway asked Airport Commission January 12, 1996 Page 1 how much time was left on their lease. Ernst stated he thought it was about four years as they had just redid the lease. KNACKSTED MOVED THAT THE COMMISSION RECOMMEND TO COUNCIL TO ACCEPT THE TERMINATION OF NATIONAL RENTAL CAR LEASE PER THEIR JANUARY 4, 1996 LETTER. MOTION SECONDED BY KOERBER. Dan VanZee stated that on the surface there will be a vacancy at the airport and it would probably appear to be in the city's best interest to try to fill.that space and generate the revenues from the space. VanZee stated he wanted to make the point that he did not feel it was in the city's best interest. There is nothing for the city to gain by actively seeking another rental car agency to come and fill the space. The rental car market in Kenai will remain the same whether National Car Rental is here or not. The bulk of the revenue from the car rental agencies come from the time and mileage charges that are paid to the city monthly. In addition to that, there is a lease space charge of approximately $1.65 a square foot, $2400 a year. That is the only number being talked about that could be a potential loss of revenue to the city, the space rent. The market will continue and the city 'will continue to get ten percent of that market. They will just get that from four people rather than five. The rental car industry is in a bind because of excess competition. Every year the price of new cars goes up. VanZee asked when the last time anyone had heard of an insurance company lowering their rates. Rental rates have not substantially increased in four or five years. VanZee stated the agencies are in a pinch. The more competition, the more it is held down. That doesn't do,anybody any good. It doesn't do the city any good and it doesn't do any of the businesses any good. To continually struggle amongst themselves trying to capture a bigger and bigger share of the market doesn't do anyone any good. VanZee stated that for a 10 percent degrees in rates requires generating 25 percent more business to have the same capital or the same income. That is not possible. VanZee said they are all caught in the pinch. VanZee stated that now with a vacancy of space there is a potential for loss of income of $2400 per year to the city. VanZee stated he is here to ask the city not to seek another car agency in Kenai. VanZee stated he believes four rental car companies are plenty of competition. There is no price fixing, noting they are competitors and will continue to be competitors. VanZee stated his feeling it is a benefit for the city to look for someone and the only possible negative is the loss of rent space. VanZee said he is here to guarantee that the city doesn't have to lose that space rent. VanZee stated he will personally rent the space and continue to pay the rent until he can find a business that will be approved by the Commission, the city council, etc. to take over that space that would not be in competition with the car rental business. Mr. Holloway asked if all four businesses shared and opened up the current spaces, would that help? VanZee stated that is what he would prefer to see, that the space be remodeled. VanZee stated they don't have adequate space now to run a Airport Commission January 12, 1996 Page 2 Minutes business. There are discussions about adding electrical service. Doing that with an existing structure is more difficult. VanZee said he would like to see that done in the future but he is talking about now. VanZee stated he knows that any remodeling projects may be a year from now or two years from now. VanZee said he would prefer to see the space remodeled, expand the space, and everyone would pay more because they would have more space. And, there would be no loss of revenue. VanZee said he would prefer to see all the agencies take the space and split the cost; however, he is not convinced that that will happen. There is at least one agency that feels no one else wants the space so why should they pay more. VanZee reiterated that he will personally lease the space because he doesn't want the loss of revenue to be a factor in the decision not to seek another rental agency. VanZee stated he doesn't feel there is anything for the city to gain and he wants to make sure there is nothing for the city to lose. Mr. Holloway asked how many rental agencies in Fairbanks airport. VanZee stated four, a $5 million dollar market. Juneau has three with a $2.4 million dollar market. Anchorage has six with a $20 million dollar market. Holloway stated it appears to be plenty for Kenai. VanZee stated he feels four is too many but four is better than five. VanZee reiterated he doesn't see anything for the city to gain and he is willing to personally guarantee that there is nothing for the city to lose by not seeking another rental car agency to fill the space. Mr. Thibodeau asked how big the spaces are now. Mr. Ernst stated they are leased as 10 by 10 or 100 square feet. Mr. VanZee noted that their working space is much smaller because of the counters. Thibodeau asked how they felt, if that was enough space. Ms. Koerber stated that all the agencies had looked over the information and discussed it. Koerber stated that basically the agencies are really fighting in the winter and they do every year. This is probably the first chance that has come up that they could come to the city and ask for some help.. Koerber stated that she understands VanZee's offer to pay the difference but she is sure they will all go in on that fee. Although, there is one agency who may not. Basically, Koerber stated she sees no reason why the space couldn't be rented. Koerber stated that Mr. VanZee is saying that one way or another it could be worked out wherein the city doesn't lose any money. Mr. Knackstedt stated he was wondering if the public would notice a difference in avaiiaoiiity oT rental vehicles. VanZee noted that each agency would buy more cars to make up the difference. Knackstedt noted that there are times in the summer with five agencies where there are no cars available. Now, with four agencies, will that happen sooner, or later? VanZee stated that if they run their businesses right they don't have any cars left over. All the cars are rented at the end of the day. Only in July is that possible. VanZee stated that if they have a firm understanding Airport Commission January 12, 1996 Page 3 Minutes of what is going to happen at this time of year they have an opportunity to order more cars so that an increased demand in the summer. If they don't have a firm understanding of what may happen, one agency can truck vehicles in. But, for the local owners, the decisions needs to be made now and order the cars. VanZee said if they will be one car agency short that means they will be 50 to 60 cars short of what was available last summer. National probably ran between 50 and 60 cars last July. Between the four agencies, there will be an increased demand of maybe ten cars each. VanZee the biggest negative that could happen to the remaining agencies is that they order the cars to meet the demand and then_ in June another rental car company shows up and they would have an excess of 50 cars. VanZee stated the demand will be met and they will invest more if they have a bigger piece of the pie. Ms. Koerber stated that if they now ahead they will order accordingly. Basically, they know every summer approximately what is coming in. Koerber stated that if they know there will just be the four agencies, they will order accordingly to take up the slack. So, there would not be a problem with commuters. qi•� Mr. Thibodeau commented that there are other rental agencies in theaarea such as Chrysler, Hutchings, etc. Thibodeau stated that if there was a time the airport ran out of cars, the other agencies would try to pick up the slack. Thibodeau stated he didn't feel there was ever not enough cars in the area. 'VanZee;stated the period between July 15" and the 21'. Koerber added that Ford was going strongly into the rental business. Mr. Ernst commented that if someone comes off airport and comes to the airport to pickup customers, they are obligated to pay the same gross percentage as everyone else. Ernst stated they would insist on it. Ernst stated he would be watching that very closely. The only, instances that has happened in the past is that Peninsula Ford has vans that they lease to the school' district. Ernst stated that is minimal. If they came in and tried to bring in a whole fleet and started picking people up at the airport and it was an airport generated revenue, then the city would require the 10 percent gross. Mr. Ernst asked to respond to Mr. VanZee. _Ernst stated the Commission has three choices; yes, no, or you make no recommendation. Ernst stated that Ms. Koerber would need to abstain from the vote. As far as the revenue, the revenue lost at this time would be the square footage revenue. And, Ernst. stated he probably would agree that if there would four agencies that. market would spread over four. Maybe the gross revenue would not change a whole lot. -'As far`as not leasing space to a car rental agency, it could be leased to someone else. Ernst stated he did not feel the Commission could recommend at this point. Ernst stated that for VanZee to pick up the rent lease space is against the grain of competition. Every space in the airport is bid. Ernst stated the space would probably have to be bid. Airport Commission January 12, 1996 Page 4 Minutes Mr. Holloway asked if anyone had shown any interest in wanting to move into the space other than a car rental agency? Ernst stated there have been several different kinds of interest but nothing that ever came back. Ernst stated Ms. Kangas will be at the far end but she is paying a reduced rate, $50 a month for the entire year. If she was allowed to move into the space that wouldn't be fair to the car rental agencies. Holloway asked if the glass partition area was still available and Ernst responded yes. Ernst stated that people inquire and some have been told they could not operate at the airport. Ernst stated the most requests he gets are for an espresso stand and it is in direct conflict with the restaurant. I Holloway asked if the area was due for an upgrading? Ernst responded that right now people have plug ins that are overused and causing a big problem. They are blowing breakers all the time so the airport needs to have them correct the problem or get in there and redo the electrical circuits. Ernst stated he couldn't speak to whether it was adequate room for them. Ernst stated a renovation of the area has not been discussed. Ernst stated that by eliminating the space you would be locking yourself out. Ernst stated that as VanZee had stated that by the architecture it made itself conducive to five car rental agencies. Thibodeau stated that in comparison to other airports, the space is small. Thibodeau added that it seems like we are continually improving the terminal that perhaps an upgrade on the counters would be nice. He stated it was his opinion that it would be nicer if they were larger spaces. Councilman Measles indicated that Mr. VanZee had indicated he would like additional space. Measles asked if all four agencies would like additional space? VanZee responded they would all be willing to pay for additional space. VanZee stated his comment earlier was that there was one agency that said they didn't think anyone would want the space so why should they pay more for what they have now. Measles stated he didn't think it would work for the agencies to pick up the lease cost for the vacant space. Measles said the space would have to be advertised for bid and that would open it to anyone who wanted to bid on the space. Measles said he thought he was hearing them say they didn't want that to happen. VanZee said he didn't care who was in the space as long as it is not a rental car agency. Measles said the architect comment is right but at the time the space was designed there were five agencies who wanted a spot in the airport. The design didn't dictate five agencies, five agencies dictated the design. Measles stated that he felt if the Commission wanted to make a recommendation in line with what Mr. VanZee was saying so that you recommend to the council that you accept the termination of the National Lease and you further recommend that that space not be advertised for re -lease at this time and leave it at that. Ernst stated that would give the Commission the opportUMLY to uu,iiC ijack and say we would like to renovate the area. Ernst stated that if someone leases the space, you will not get them out. Holloway noted that it seemed to him it would be the ideal time to do it if we are considering rewiring. Ernst stated if that was the Commission's recommendation to the council and if council agreed. Ernst commented that this would be a way to make the areas bigger and not get into waiting for someone else Airport Commission January 12, 1996 Page 5 04iruttas to check out again. Measles stated that if that is the direction the Commission wants to go that it could also be part of the recommendation, that the city look at expanding the existing spaces to four spaces instead of five. Chairman Thibodeau asked if there was further discussion. BARBARA EDWARDS MOVED TO RECOMMEND TO THE COUNCIL THAT NATIONAL CAR RENTAL'S LEASE TERMINATION BE ACCEPTED AND THAT THE SPACE NOT BE ADVERTISED FOR LEASE AT THIS TIME. AN ADDITION, RECOMMEND THAT COUNCIL LOOK INTO THE OPTION OF POSSIBLE RENOVATION. MOTION SECONDED BY RON HOLLOWAY. -> Thibodeau commented that he was wondering what kind of an operation could be run from the airport. You can have a restaurant that gets luncheon business. People don't spend a lot of time in the airport. This airport is not a hub. There are not that many businesses that can take advantage of it except car rental agencies. The restaurant is not a booming, thriving business so the city has done what it could do to protect it. Other than the car agencies and the restaurant, Thibodeau stated he didn't think there were that many other businesses that could take advantage of it. Mr. VanZee stated he felt there were other businesses that could utilize that space and gave examples. (Discussion about businesses who may be successful in the airport.) Clarification of motions on the floor. Mr. Knackstedt withdrew his motion on National Car Rental lease termination and withdrawal agreed to by Ms. Koerber. VOTE: KOERBER ABSTAIN THIBODEAU YES HOLLOWAY YES KNACKSTEDT . YES EDWARDS YES MOTION PASSES. New Airport Regulations Discussion Decision to postpone this discussion until the end of the meeting and go into a work session. Airport Manager's Report Mr. Ernst explained his handouts and noted that he is not sure if he will ever get a solid figure for Mark Air Express enplanement figures for November. Ernst explained how he came up with the estimated figures. ERA figures are estimated Airport Commission January 12, 1996 Page 6 Minutes as their manager is out of town. Ernst stated he has been told this figure is fairly accurate but it cannot be verified. Total enplanements for the year are right at 130,000 which is 13,000 higher than last year. Ernst advised Aires Consultants who are doing the Master Plan will furnish to Ernst by the Friday before the February 8"' meeting an informational packet on the plan progress. The meeting of February 8' will be an informational meeting on the Master Plan. Ernst stated he plans to advertise it as such to the users and the general public. It will be an overview of how far they have gotten as far as photographing the airport properties and digitizing those photos. It will be a preliminary informational meeting. The FAA will be at the meeting. Patty Sullivan and Debbie Roth (finance portion of the FAA) want to be here also. Ernst stated that will probably take a lot of time and he suggests that a quick business meeting be held and then adjourn and go into a hearing. Ernst advised he will be leaving Monday night to go with the Director of Maintenance to go to Oshkosh to make a final inspection on the sander plow truck. It has to be checked to make sure it meets specifications. Then, they will go over to another town to look at the Oshkosh sweepers to get an idea of price. Ernst stated he will be gone about four days. Ernst advised that yesterday and today the annual certification of the airport was held and for the second year in a row they have not had any discrepancies. In the letter of correction there will be no corrections to be made. Ernst stated he appreciates the Public Works Department, Police Department, and Fire Department in being able to pull off an inspection like this. This year is the airport's tri-annual disaster drill. Ernst stated they are hoping to have it hopefully near July 1. That is a full blown drill involving everybody, the hospital, ambulance service, etc. Mr. Holloway asked if the ski plane basin was open? Ernst stated it has been open by invitation only. Mr. Thibodeau asked if there were any moose on the airport? Ernst stated they have had a few; however, he hasn't seen them. Commission Comments and Questions Mr. Knackstedt asked if any applications had been received for the vacant seats. Ernst stated no and that he has been remiss about getting applications out. The Mr. Ernst advised that this was the meeting that elections for chair and vice -chair were to be held. TOM THIBODEAU WAS NOMINATED FOR THE CHAIR POSITION BY MS. KOERBER AND SECONDED BY MS. EDWARDS. UNANIMOUS. Airport Commission January 12, 1996 Page 7 Minutes RON HOLLOWAY WAS NOMINATED FOR THE VICE -CHAIR POSITION BY MS. KOERBER AND SECONDED BY MS. EDWARDS. UNANIMOUS. Mr. Knackstedt asked if Mr. Freas had decided on a date for the parliamentary procedure work session. Ms. Kebschull advised that Ms. Frees believed it would be on the 29' and that she would notify everyone when the date was selected. Information Items Town Hail Meeting Memo Chairman Thibodeau reminded the Commission of -the meeting scheduled for January 25t''. Memo Regarding Roster Corrections Reappointment Letters Airport Commission Roster Changes on the Commission roster noted: Councilman Measles noted his correct work number is 776-8191.

Best stated that Thad Carlson currently holds the lease with the state on the adjoining portion. They have been attempting to obtain a lease on this site for five years. Since some of the area is in the state portion, there was some question as to how to handle it.

Tim Veal introduced himself and stated that he currently fishes on a share basis up the beach and is interested in a lease. He was unaware of any conflict with the lease area.

APPROVAL OF AGENDA The agenda was approvedas written. 3. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Castimore MOVED to approve the minutes as written. Yamamoto SECONDED the motion and the minutes were approved. 4. PERSONS SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD None. 5. DIRECTOR'S REPORT Frates reported that gym use was high over the holidays and that the teen center also had very high use. City basketball league started tonight with twelve teams. Christmas lights are up and working, though there have been negative comments on the lights. Sandahl stated he had heard several negative comments on the lights this year all being white. Bannock stated that the garland was worn out on the old lights and looked very ratty. The garland was removed and the lights were changed to a sillouhette style with all white s Parks & Rec Commission January 4, 1996 Page 1 bulbs to save costs on lights and to save on replacing the decorations. 6. OLD BUSINESS A. Lief Hanson Memorial Park - Bannock stated that Council's intent was that no big parties be held_ in the memorial park. Large memorial services that would be appropriate to the intent of the park would be allowed, but large ceremonies would not be allowed if they were not appropriate to the original intended use of the park. B. Beach Restrooms - Bannock stated that Council has decided to now secure the beach restrooms. Frates reported that there has not yet been a dollar amount figured for the damage that was done. C. Playground Equipment - Since Gifford has the catalogs and was not in attendance, this item was tabled to the next meeting. D. Five Year Plan Update - Frates did not have a copy of the Five Year Plan on hand so this item was also tabled to the next meeting. Sandahl felt the city had a potential liability in Cunningham Park where the playground equipment was located. He stated that when vehicles launch boats they must drive right alongside the playground area. He did not feel it was a safe situation for children. Frates stated he would look into it and possibly the equipment could be moved. Yamamoto stated maybe the equipment could be removed and picnic tables put in instead. Wisniewski asked about Beaver Creek park. Yamamoto stated it would look much better if the trees between the Spur Highway and the park were removed to open the park up and make it more visible. Sandahl felt that with the closed in feeling of the park it was not drawing in the intended use, but was being used instead as a party area. He felt it would help parents to feel more secure to open it up. Bannock suggested recommending to Council that improvements funds be directed to this particular park this year and to include a list of the recommended improvements to the park to Council for approval. 7. NEW BUSINESS A. Budget - Frates stated that some budget items have changed, but it is still in the preliminary stages at this point. Commission will go over the budget again at their next meeting prior to it going to Council. B. Shkituk Village Site Work Session - Frates stated that some preliminary work has been done. A work session has been called and recommended someone from the Commission attend on the 23rd. 8. CORRESPONDENCE Frates reported that the City received an invitation from Homer to participate in a snowshoe baseballtournament at $50 cost per team. 9. INFORMATION A. Commission Terms - Hultberg reported that everyone on the Commission whose term was come up should have received a letter from Council. B. Town Hall Meeting - Bannock reported that everyone on the Commission should have received and invitation to attend the town hall meeting on the 25th. C. Habitat Restoration/Recreation Enhancement - Frates reported that Council had decided to make the beach their main priority this year. Castimore asked if there was any way to just close off the beach access and make it a political issue. Bannock stated that there were a number of private parcels on the beach and that the city could not deny access to these parcels. Hultberg asked if there was a move in progress to make the Katmai into a halfway house. Bannock stated that it would be on the Planning and Zoning agenda at next week's scheduled meeting. Hultberg thanked Frates for covering for McGillivray this meeting. Wisniewski asked about the ski trails. Frates stated that there was still a liability issue and hoped to have more information by the next meeting. 10. ADJOURNMENT Castimore MOVED to adjourn the meeting. Sandahl SECONDED the motion.

PERSONS PRESENT SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD: Chairman Walker noted discussion was open for a Conditional Use Permit for a halfway house at the Katmai Motel. Walker asked if there was anyone in the public wishing to speak to this item. Jim Singree, owner of the Katmai Hotel. Singree noted that Linda Zaugg was supposed to be in attendance and asked if she was in the room. Someone from the audience advised she would be arriving late as her plane had had problems. Singree stated he did not want to take up too much time as he did pull his permit application. Singree asked if there was anyone in the audience who was bidding on this project? None noted. Mr. Singree noted that he and Rick had been at the Katmai for nine years and it has been a tough nine years. Singree stated that winters are really tough because they are the oldest hotel in town. He stated they have tried everything and a few companies have came through with projects that have helped. He noted that except for July and August, business is just not there. So, when he heard about the proposals for the CRC, he called the department in Anchorage and requested a packet. He stated that he understood it would be a minimum security facility and he felt that he could do that. When he received the packet, he noted that he felt it was pretty intimidating. Surveillance is great, administrating is very expensive. Singree stated he had two weeks involvement before deciding to pull the permit after response from the public. Singree stated he wished Ms. Zaugg was here because she could answer a lot of questions. Singree stated the current prison system is overloaded and a lot of these people are no more that DWI offenders, minimum offenders. Singree stated that according to the packet they would have had to house five different types of offenders. Singree stated that he knew there would be no way that would ever get passed the City of Kenai. He stated he realized that when he looked at it; however, he thought that possibly there might be some way he could offer housing for that offense status to make them qualify for the facility. Singree stated it was their intention to use their facility for what it is intended for. He noted they have eleven months of the year with 40 beds that lay there drawing dust. Singree stated he fully intends that if the Department of Corrections ever rescinds their status to DWI's he will try to bid on the project one more time. Singree stated that the standards speak for themselves; they are very stringent. He stated that surveillance is very strict, even for DWI's. They are checked once an hour and they have to be monitored whether they are at school, church, jobs, etc. Singree reiterated that he fully intends to apply again if they ever change the requirements. Singree asked if anyone had any questions of him noting he had seen the Planning & Zoning Commission Page 2 Minutes standards and the bid packet. Although, he commented that he could not give pertinent information to the packet itself, but he could enlighten the public somewhat about what it entails. Singree stated he had talked with drug counselors today and feels if given a chance he could offer a program and offer a minimum security facility using his facility and helping his business as well as the City of Kenai. Chairman Walker asked if there was anyone else in the public wishing to speak to this item. Individual asked if they could reserve their right and address the Commission later. Also asked if Ms. Zaugg would be heard when she arrived. Walker advised that with the consent of the Commission he would like to take a recess to give Ms. Zaugg time to arrive. Mr. Bryson asked if Chairman Walker would prefer not to go on with Item 5. Walker responded he would prefer to recess and asked if there were any objections. RECESS: 7:18 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Ms. Linda Zaugg, Department of Corrections —Ms. Zaugg stated that Mayor Williams asked her to attend the meeting to hopefully address the concern about halfway houses, what they refer to as CRC's. Ms. Zaugg noted that Corrections has had a Request for Proposal (RFP) on the street about 3 weeks. Zaugg stated that several people were in Kenai about three weeks ago for a quick meeting at the Legislative Affairs Office for a Pre -proposal Review or Bidders Review. Zaugg stated the meeting was for anyone who was interested in submitting a bid to have an opportunity to ask questions of the contracting agency. Zaugg stated that the people in the Kenai area have until January 22nd to file a proposal. Zaugg noted that until then, they will not have a clue who is interested or where they may want to put a halfway house. Zaugg stated the only reason she is aware of the one in Kenai is because this is apparently the only person who was filing within city limits which require zoning. Zaugg stated that one of the requirements in the RFP is that anyone choosing to bid on the contract has to comply with any city or borough ordinance or zoning requirements. Zaugg noted that at the bidders conference there were a total of four or five separate vendors or individuals that attended the meeting. Zaugg stated they could find themselves on January 22nd with zero bidders or they could find themselves with six. Once the 22nd arrives, people will file their proposal. The contract officer for the state will review the proposals and make sure they have met all of the requirements. If it does not, it will be thrown out. The proposals that survive that phase, are sent to a committee for review. Zaugg stated in theory they come up with what is the least costly but hopefully the best program. This is not always the least costly but usually close. Zaugg noted the committee review process tends to take a matter of weeks. Once that is done, the contract is tentatively awarded. Then, there is a ten day process wherein the unsuccessful bidders have the ability to protest. Zaugg gave an example of a past protest in this area relating to experience wherein the bid was thrown out. Zaugg noted that she had been allowed to come to this meeting only because she had been invited by the Mayor. She explained that during the bidding process she is limited Planning & Zoning Commission Page 3 Minutes in what she can say. Zaugg advised she could answer questions about halfway houses. Zaugg handed out information she had brought with her. The first sheet contained the Department of Corrections statistics for January loth. The facilities are at 104 percent capacity. Zaugg drew the attention to the darkened areas on the sheet noting that those institutions were over capacity and read specific statistics for institutions. Zaugg commented that Wildwood is able to use pretrial as a holding facility which keeps them from being over capacity at Wildwood sentence facility. Zaugg shared a graph showing growth rate for offenders for a five years period. Zaugg stated that sentenced misdemeanants are the fastest growing group at the moment. Zaugg commented that all the graphs she was sharing show a steady growth. Zaugg explained how in Alaska the prisons have cycles wherein the population goes down when people are busy such as in the summer. The population starts to grow in September to mid -December. On January 1, the population will start to climb again until spring and then will drop again. Zaugg stated that when the facilities start to get full that they try to funnel as many people as they can, in Anchorage particularly, into halfway houses. Zaugg advised that there are a total of 446 halfway house beds. That can go up to 475. The difference is those numbers are perdiem beds for the cycle. Zaugg noted that perdiem beds are paid for as they are used. Today, there were 419 people in halfway houses; there were 20 beds available in Anchorage at the Cordova Center. There were another 25 beds available at another facility. Zaugg stated that at Monday at Sixth Avenue, they brought in in addition to the 119 people they had in-house, they brought in 50 people who were scheduled to report. Zaugg explained these are court -ordered commitments. They are the misdemeanant population. Zaugg explained they may be first offender DWI's who bailed out but must report to serve their time. Zaugg stated in Anchorage people are told to schedule their time with the jail. These are the low -risk population who get into the halfway houses. Zaugg commented there are two things that are true of the people who go to jail. One, almost everyone gets out, and almost everyone goes home. Zaugg noted that Kenai's percentage of misdemeanants of the statewide population is 7.2 percent. Juneau is 7.0 percent. Juneau has 45 halfway house beds today and there is a contract on the street asking for another five beds. Juneau is consistently full. There is a halfway house in Bethel. The misdemeanant total for Bethel is 9.7 percent. There are 41 halfway house beds in Bethel and it will be raised to 51. Matsu Valley shows 9.9 percent. Zaugg commented that it is known that at any given point in time in Anchorage halfway houses, there are 35 and 40 Palmer case numbers housed. Zaugg continued stating they had just closed an RFP for the Matsu for 40 beds. The number for Kenai is a bit smaller. Zaugg stated that they knew, based on the number of people that they take back and forth to Anchorage, when they get overcrowded at Wildwood. People are taken either via van or plane to Anchorage. They serve three to five days in an Anchorage halfway house and then they are released and sent back by plane to Kenai. Zaugg stated that is not very cost effective and it doesn't help transition. Planning & Zoning Commission Page 4 Minutes Zaugg stated that if you are talking about a 20 bed halfway house in Kenai, roughly 15 occupants would be misdemeanants. The others would be furloughees. Zaugg stated these are the people who she assumes people are concerned about. Zaugg noted that these people are at the end of their sentence, the last six months to the last year. They are coming home. They will be in the community when released. Zaugg stated they know that the first six months of their release is the most critical time. They know that the chance of reoffending during that period of time is much greater than it will be later on. Zaugg stated the key is to stabilize as they are moved back into the community. One of the things a halfway house does is give 24 hour awake supervision for someone who is being edged back in to the community. Zaugg stated that on any given day in a halfway house population of 20 that population would be one or none, but it will probably be about 1. The other two beds in the halfway house will be taken by people who are already in your community, people who are on probation, but for some reason they are not doing well in the community. Zaugg stated that they are trying to use the halfway house to stabilize them. Zaugg stated there has been a decision in this state by the last administration not to put untreated sex offenders in halfway houses that are on furlough. Zaugg qualified this by explaining that if you are coming out of jail, if you are an untreated sex offender, you will not go to a halfway house. If you are a treated sex offender, you will have an opportunity to go to a halfway house. If you are coming out on probation, you are an untreated sex offender and your sentence has ended, what is your preference (directed to the audience)? That they be next door or that they be in a halfway house where the probation officer can place them and stabilize them. Zaugg continued stating that this is someone who is getting out of jail anyway and it is not totally without risk. The goal is to try to figure out how to try to move people that are moving into the community anyway. Zaugg continued explaining why an RFP for 40 was not put out. She stated that there had been a concern that people who were not from this area would end up here. Additional materials were distributed showing the halfway house population for the last year, RFP's, rules for halfway houses, etc. Questions from the audience: Questioned what was meant by contracting out and how Corrections was involved. Zaugg explained that Corrections contracted with private individuals to provide services. Corrections does have requirements that must be followed. Zaugg stated there are training programs offered. In addition, Zaugg stated there are two vendors in Anchorage who have offered to allow people to tour their facilities. Zaugg stated that if anyone would like to do that they should contact her office and they would set up a tour for them. Question asking if Corrections follows up to see that monitoring is taking place and what the requirements are for staff backgrounds and training. Zaugg explained there are training requirements. Smaller halfway houses are required 20 hours a year, larger halfway houses are required 40 hours a year. Planning & Zoning Commission Page 5 Minutes Zaugg explained how offenders are scored on a designation form to see if they are appropriate for placement at a halfway house. Zaugg explained offenders are scored by how serious is the current offense, how much time before release date, what type of crime or conviction, past behavior, is there a history of escapes and how long ago, is there a history of violence, security level, custody level, etc. All these are scored and if they don't add up to a minimum risk, they will not be placed at a halfway house. Staff also looks at attitude. Question if Department of Corrections has any obligation to allow for public comment or a public hearing. Comment noting that had this not been in the City of Kenai, no one would have known that this is happening. Zaugg responded that the public hearing phase is at the Planning & Zoning. Zaugg stated that public knowledge would be based on the advertisement in the paper for the RFP. Zaugg noted that part of the problem with the previous application in this area was there was no zoning in the borough. Zaugg stated the normal method for public comment is through planning and zoning. Zaugg noted that every place in the state, with the exception of Kenai and Matsu, have zoning. Zaugg stated there is not a mechanism set up for public hearing in the Kenai borough. Zaugg stated she has spoken to the Chamber of Commerces in Kenai and Soldotna and Nikiski and to the city council. Question about who helps to stabilize the occupants in the halfway houses. Zaugg advised it may be halfway house staff or a probation officer if they are on probation or parole. Zaugg explained how occupants of halfway houses are checked on and what happens if they are not where they are supposed to be. Zaugg explained there is a certain amount of leeway. If they don't show up within that time limit, law enforcement agencies are notified and they are picked up and taken back to the correctional facility. Once, that happens they are not given a second chance for roughly 90 to 120 days depending on what it was that caused the lateness. If they were just late, they may be given a second chance. The second time, it probably doesn't matter. Zaugg stated that since most of the people are misdemeanants anyway, they are not going to have another opportunity because they have to wait that 90 to 120 days and they will probably complete their sentence by then. Question relating concern with possibility of cuts in funding from the legislature based on what happened a few years ago. And that if cuts took place and there was a halfway house here, they could send sex offenders here from other places. Zaugg stated she couldn't guess what the legislature might do. Comment from public that there is absolutely no guarantee that we won't have a well spoken inmate at the halfway house that may have been charged with sexual abuse of minors. Zaugg stated only if they had completed treatment. Question if that was successful completion and Zaugg responded yes. Planning & Zoning Commission Page 6 Minutes Comment that it bothers them that to say they will only house minimum DWI repeat offenders. DWI repeat offenders are just as much of a threat as felons. Zaugg wrote on the chalk board the difference cost for maintaining an offender in an institution ($110), halfway house ($50), and on probation ($5) per day. Zaugg asked for example, if you have someone who is sober do you pay $110 a day to keep them locked up or $50 a day in a halfway house. Question from the public that they heard the person who murdered Joe Vogler was from a halfway house. Zaugg stated it was her understanding he was at a halfway house. Also, statement that there was an escapee from API who killed several children at Russian Jack Springs. Also, added that the comments regarding DWI that he had been hit by a drunk driver when he was on a bike. Also, questioned about plea bargaining and sex offenders who bargain to lower charges. Zaugg stated she was not involved in that part of the process. Comment that he had received a paper from Hawaii and they had sent their worst offenders to Texas because it was cheaper to keep them. Suggestion that Alaska should consider the same idea. Zaugg stated that Alaska has gotten tougher on crime and have made tougher laws. But, additional facilities have not been funded. Police officers have been funded but have not funded additional probation officers. If the system is going to work, it is necessary to take care of the whole system. Zaugg stated that for a number of years only certain things have been addressed and now the system is out of kilter. Mahurin stated she needs to understand how it works. Mahurin stated that in theory Mr. Singree could have contracted here and assumes that he doesn't have a background in this area. Mahurin stated that if this came about, and he had the halfway house, he would have had 20 to 40 hours of training. Then, he would have hired people to staff the facility. Mahurin stated in essence it is possible to have someone come in who has no training, has a facility, is well intentioned, but doing it to make money. People are hired with good intentions but they are not trained. Zaugg stated there are requirements for training and academic background in the RFP. Mahurin stated it is a concern and she had not realized it until tonight that Department of Corrections that didn't staff and run and do the monitoring for the houses. Zaugg stated that years ago the Department of Corrections had staffed and ran a halfway house in Anchorage but a decision was made toward privatization. Goecke stated he thought he read or head that anyone could own the halfway house but must have a manager who had two years or so experience. Isn't the manager required to have some background? Zaugg stated there is a requirement for a bachelor's degree and a certain number of years experiences, anywhere from three to four years. Zaugg stated education could be substituted for experience. Zaugg stated he was right that you could own the operation and not have experience but hire someone to do that. Planning & Zoning Commission Page 7 Minutes Question if it is possible to designate a halfway house for misdemeanants only? Zaugg stated that is not what is needed. Zaugg stated that beds are needed for furloughs, felons, and relief for probation officers. Discussion with audience about why Alaska doesn't operate a work release program from the institutions. Zaugg explained that it had been tried when she was at Wildwood but it had not been successful. Mayor Williams thanked Ms. Zaugg for coming to the meeting. The Mayor explained that this is the third in a series of meetings that have been held in the last year regarding halfway houses. Williams stated we have been fortunate to have Ms. Zaugg at two of the meetings. She has made a similar presentation before city council. Williams stated that was one of the reasons he felt it would be good for her to make a presentation before the Planning Commission. Also, it gives a broader view of what halfway houses really are and what the need for halfway houses are in society. Williams stated that part of his view of this is that if in fact 7 percent of the incarcerated people in the state of Alaska are in fact citizens of this community, then that same 7 percent probably has the opportunity or right to be incarcerated here in a halfway house if in fact they will come home to this area. Williams stated he thought we needed to ask ourselves do we take the position that 7 percent of our population we would rather not deal with, not be here at all. And, should we pass them on to Matsu or pass them on to Anchorage. Or, do we as a community take the whole situation and say we can take the responsibility for those people. The city's position, to clarify any misunderstanding, is that we want to see the state exhaust the opportunities through the RFP process through private development to see if there is something out there that can be used or delegated as a halfway house. If there is absolutely no opportunity for any type of a halfway house situation within the private sectors, the city may open public hearings and with a decision by the council and Planning Commission, the city may entertain some thoughts of entering some type of partnership with the Division of Corrections to in fact build a facility that could be used and leased out to independent operators. That is only as a last resort. Williams stated that he wanted to dispel any notions that the City of Kenai is jumping through a lot of hoops and demanding that the city be put into a position of building a halfway house of our own. Recess: 8:35 p.m. to 8:45 p.m. 5. CONSIDERATION OF PLATS: a. PZ96-2, Subdivision Plat Approval —Airport Lease Property, Norville Replat. RON GOECKE RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF PZ96-2, SUBDIVISION PLAT APPROVAL, AIRPORT LEASE PROPERTY, NORVILLE REPLAT. MOTION SECONDED BY TERESA WERNER-QUADE. Planning & Zoning Commission Page 8 Minutes Bryson went on record that he would be abstaining from voting and discussion on this item as his firm has discussed the project with the developer for providing services. Chairman Walker asked for additional staff comment. La Shot noted that the vote would be on the substituted plat; however, the staff report does not change. Walker asked if the maker of the motion would care to clarify their motion as far as the substituted plat. GOECKE ADDED TO THE ORIGINAL MOTION THAT THE INITIAL PLAT BE SUBSTITUTED WITH THE NEW PLAT THAT WAS DISTRIBUTED AT THE MEETING. WERNER-QUADE CONCURRED. Chairman Walker asked if anyone in the public wished to speak to this item. None noted. Commission discussion. Mahurin stated she noted that sewer is available but water is not. Mahurin questioned if there were no water lines. La Shot stated he should have said that water is not available, but it could be brought it from some distance; however, he wanted to call attention to that. La Shot stated it could be fairly close but on the adjacent private property. The builder of the lot may or may not have access to the water. Booth asked if the city was aware of what the developer was going to do with the lot. Walker stated he did not. La Shot stated he have heard rumors but is not at liberty to say. Goecke asked Mrs. Ischi if part of the plat took out any of the Dairy Queen parking area. Ischi stated she is not looking at the substitute plat that the Commission had but the plat that she had viewed there was a stipulation wherein the driveway coming into Dairy Queen off of the Spur that would be left as an access all the way back to the drive through. Ischi stated that it is supposed to be done before anything is done on the plat so that is left for driving in and out for public use. Glick asked if the new business would use that driveway also. Ischi stated she is not sure and that there are a lot of rumors as to what the development will be. It is her understanding that Dairy Queen may end up with the back side of the structure. The driveway will be for public access mainly for the Dairy Queen. Cliff Baker advised that the driveway that comes in off the Spur Highway is straight with the access easement. So, the driveway would be used to come in off the highway. Vehicles would turn right to the other lot or a left to Dairy Queen. It would be a multiple access point.

Walker asked for additional staff comment. La Shot stated nothing additional. Walker asked if anyone in the public wished to speak. None noted. Commission comments. Bryson noted he would be abstaining due to past conflict on this tract. Walker stated he understands the commission is recommending approval of the plat as it is before the Commission. Walker stated he has strong concerns as to the use or potential use of Tract A in this particular configuration. Walker asked if he could obtain some comment on that. Mr. Hall stated they felt it was appropriate to split the property into two pieces and that was his only comment. VOTE: GOECKE YES BOOTH YES MAHURIN YES GLICK YES BRYSON ABSTAIN WERNER-QUADE YES WALKER NO MOTION PASSED 5 TO 1. Planning & Zoning Commission Page 10 Minutes 6. PUBLIC HEARINGS: a. PZ96-1, Conditional Use Permit, Katmai Hotel, Halfway House Conditional Use Permit application pulled by applicant. 7. NEW BUSINESS: 8. OLD BUSINESS: a. PZ95-58, Warehouse Subdivision Chairman Walker stated that on the bottom of the memo from administration the question before the Commission is, "Does the Commission agree that this satisfies the Commission's requirements?" Ms. Mahurin stated she does not feel that this satisfies the Commission's requirements. She stated that she thought the Commission was very concerned that there be some trees and natural vegetation. The comment saying that landscaping is undisturbed natural vegetation including spruce and birch trees, Mahurin noted she didn't see any of these on the property. Mahurin stated she understood it was winter and it would not be possible to see where grass is but she had a feeling that there was to be some buffer and some shrubbery, grass, and trees were going to be left. Mahurin noted she doesn't see any of that and she doesn't feel this plan meets what was decided after the discussion. Clint Hall, owner of the property. Hall stated that the new landscape plan was the result of what he understood the Planning and Zoning Commission had decided upon. Hall stated he thought the Commission understood that on a small commercial lot that trees were not an asset to the lot. In the first landscape plan, there was some natural vegetation. Hall stated he thought the Commission preferred to see shrubbery and grass in preference over trees. This plan is the result of what he thought came out of the first meeting. Hall stated that on the back 42 feet of the lot that the first plan had natural trees across the back of it. Hall noted that a neighbor came and requested that they leave 42 feet of buffer so they did a lot line adjustment to satisfy a neighbor. Hall stated that what his understanding from the original meeting that he would substitute the natural trees in front with shrubbery and grass along the front of the building and not just one front corner but both front corners. That is what the new plan should identify. Mahurin commented that sometimes what is wrong with discussions is that they are remembered differently. Mahurin stated she remembered Hall's comments that he needed places for snow removal, places for equipment, etc. Mahurin stated she lives in the area and was very disturbed to drive by and see what she considers a clear cut. Mahurin stated she thought trees could be part of the front part of a building. She stated she felt it would have enhanced the front part of Hall's building. Mahurin stated she has a lot of concerns with a developer who comes in and completely levels the lot whether it is a home or a business. Planning & Zoning Commission Page 11 Minutes Hall stated that a small commercial lot is difficult to have a lot of natural landscape. Hall stated that he thought they were all in agreement to the shrubbery and grass. Hall noted that winter had set in and they have not had an opportunity to perform on the landscape plan. Mahurin stated she did understand the weather interrupted the plan. Mr. Glick stated he drove by the property. He asked if Hall had cleared to the lot line. Hall stated it was 42 feet. Glick asked if the back side was the 42 feet he was referring to. Glick asked if in the spring Hall intended to put the shrubs and grass in. Hall stated it was their intention to put nice landscaping in in the spring. Hall stated that regarding the trees that had been on the corner, he had not thought they were very attractive. He reiterated he thought the Commission preferred shrubbery and grass. Mahurin stated that Mr. Smalley had reminded her that Mr. Hall had met the percentages. She stated that she understood that; however, that she still has a concern. Mr. Hall asked if the Commission had reviewed the minutes from the original meeting. Walker stated that was before the Commission. Walker stated he would like to read one statement out of those minutes, "Mr. Goecke stated that he felt as long as Hall was willing to put shrubbery in front of the office in the two front corners and plant some grass that would look nicer than weeds." Walker stated that one concern that he believes Ms. Mahurin is looking at is that the Commission is not seeing where there would be grass planted. Walker stated that he thought the original plan had showed one edge either natural vegetation or some kind of landscaping, to the east side. Walker stated the newest plan does not indicate any vegetation other than the two corners and it indicates somewhat a larger snow removal area and no vegetation on that area. Walker stated that if that area was to be used for snow only that perhaps grass or low lying foliage could be placed there as well. Mr. Hall stated that what he left the Commission was a picture. Hall noted he has never owned a small lot for development. Hall stated he understood they were going to need more snow removal area. At that meeting he did address that because he put the plan together before realizing that. Hall stated he had made a statement to that effect at that meeting. Hall stated he hoped that was reflected in the minutes. Hall commented that when he left the last meeting he prepared this new plan thinking he knew what the Commission was looking for. Chairman Walker asked if there was further discussion. Mr. Booth stated that he was not on the Commission when this item had been heard before so his point of view will be based strictly on what he sees now. Booth stated he also lives in that specific area. Booth stated he personally would like to see more grass than what is shown on the plan. Booth noted that on the drawing on the roof overhang that you have also had cars parking in that area and you have been using it as a Planning & Zoning Commission Page 12 Minutes parking spot versus the designated areas on the plot. Booth stated he is personally hoping Hall will plant grass in a lot more area than is designated on the plan. Hall stated that before he had drawn up the plan he was not sure what the Commission was looking for so he went to city hall and researched other plans. In addition, he stated he tried to look at the actual developments. Hall commented that that a lot of performance has not taken place and that he would like the opportunity to show the Commission what kind of performance they will have with their landscape plan. He noted that they fully intend to have a nice building and landscape plan. Hall added that they have 100 percent intention to fulfill the landscape plan or even beyond what is noted on the plan. Mr. Goecke stated that in the minutes that basically the last thing Mr. Hall had said was that Hall confirmed that the backside would be bare. There was nothing said about the side area and Goecke said that he sees this as a question. Ms. Mahurin stated she would like to thank Mr. Hall for coming back and working with the Commission. She asked that Mr. Hall know that she is not coming from a punitive perspective at all. Mahurin stated she is happy to hear Hall say is 100 percent committed to this plan. Mahurin stated she is anxious to see what will happen in the spring and she is willing to give Mr. Hall the benefit of fulfilling his plan. Mahurin said she is trusting that she will see things differently in the spring time. Chairman Walker asked if there was a motion to approve the site plan as presented. Bryson stated that he was in a situation wherein apparently Richka Subdivision status has changed and he will be abstaining from this action because of potential involvement with the developer. MR. GOECKE RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF PZ95-58 SITE PLAN FOR WAREHOUSE SUBDIVISION. Mr. Walker advised there is not a new resolution before the Commission. Walker stated that he believed the Commission needs to approve or not approve the site plan that was placed before the Commission as the Commission had asked for it to be brought back. MS. MAHURIN MOVED THAT THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AGREE THAT THE AMENDED LANDSCAPED PLAN AS SUBMITTED DOES SATISFY THE COMMISSION'S REQUIREMENTS, BUT REQUEST THAT THE CITY REPORT BACK IN LATE SPRING AS TO LANDSCAPING ON THE LOT. MOTION SECONDED BY MR. GLICK. VOTE: BOOTH YES MAHURIN YES GLICK YES BRYSON ABSTAIN Planning & Zoning Commission Page 13 Minutes WERNER-QUADE YES GOECKE YES WALKER YES b. Comp Plan Chairman Walker noted the Commission had an update on the Senior Center before them. Ms. Kebschull advised the Commission that the information was written and revised by Pat Porter, the Director at the Senior Center. Kebschull advised the Commission that this is the last two pages and once this is reviewed a final draft will be available for the Commission's review. Walker asked for comments or discussion on this item. Councilman Smalley advised that the librarian had spoken with him in regards to the discussion last meeting. She had informed him that the library was 10,000 square feet. Smalley asked if the body wished to mention anything about the potential new services that will be available in the private sector. Kebschull advised that a statement had been placed in the document referring to discussion about such a facility. Walker noted if no additional comments, we would consider the board approval of the Senior Center revision. 9. CODE ENFORCEMENT ITEMS: 10. REPORTS: a. City Council Councilman Smalley commented that the Mayor had mentioned in his discussion earlier about the city possibly going into some agreement with the state on a halfway house. Guests from a Nikiski High School club called Handiworks spoke to council. They are working with an individual from the State Forestry and a private logger. They would be willing for a fee per lot size to come in and identify beetle kill trees or infected trees should the city decide it wants to go into some sort of operation to remove these trees. Primarily this would be on Section 36. No action was taken on their proposal. Smalley noted that public hearing projects were separated as they felt to the city they were all prioritized projects and they wanted to send a resolution for each of them. Council had a discussion about setting a public hearing for the Thompson Park Water and Sewer Special Assessment District. Smalley noted there were five large lots that had assessments against them. Smalley explained the assessment process for these lots. The Mayor wanted the council to look at those lots as being assessed exorbitantly. Smalley noted that the council was not ready to make a special arrangement and consideration but to keep with the code. Meeting for the special assessment scheduled for February Th. The city did not recommend an LID project for the Kenai River Bank restoration proposal as submitted. The city attorney, city manager, and finance director went through it and such a project does not meet the criteria to involve funding. Discussion about the bed tax issue and other forms of developments for revenue within the city. One of those looked at was the "sin" tax. This deals with the games of skills and chance. The city may look at assessing some Planning & Zoning Commission Page 14 Minutes sort of tax on these. Figures were presented showing gross receipts of $9 plus million dollars. There will be public hearings on this. A number of municipalities across the state do this. For example, Juneau collects approximately $275,000 a year. Matsu collects -a similar amount. Council took no position to hire a lobbyist for this year in Juneau. The money has been budgeted. A letter was received from Mr. Burton in Juneau stating that it does appear at this time that the well project of $960,000 will not be forthcoming, at least on the Governor's prioritized list. Ms. Mahurin commented that she hoped city council realized that most games of chance are non-profit organizations. Smalley assured Ms. Mahurin that council understood that. Walker asked if council understood how many of the non-profit organizations are not from this community. Smalley stated yes noting that he had a complete list of those revenues. A number of dollars are being generated here that the revenues are being shared through contractual agreements with entities across the state. Smalley stated there is a set limit with some of those of a million dollars per license. Walker commented that he had seen many applications for non -profits from other areas to raise funds here. Walker noted that perhaps this is a good source of revenue for the city. Smalley noted that council has not taken any position; council will discuss this in the future. Smalley noted that when the bed tax was implemented that it was agreed that in the future other sources of funding would be investigated. Those included tourism dollars and they are finally getting around to looking at other sources of revenue. Ms. Werner-Quade asked Mr. Smalley how the public hearing for Item 4 would be advertised. Smalley noted it has been done. Hearings have been sent, individuals have received documentation of costs, and the hearing will finalize the costs. Werner-Quade asked if it would be during the council meeting on the 7th and if it would be in the newspaper. Smalley stated he believed every individual had been notified and it would be posted in the paper. b. Borough Planning Mr. Bryson stated that the Borough Planning Commission met last Monday and it was a long meeting. Bryson stated that on the agenda, Items through E1 were approved. Item El was a proposed land classification in the Homer area. It was a petition to classify a borough property as residential in part and preservation in part. The property is situation on East Hill Road escarpment so it is heavily cut by gullies. After extensive testimony both in Soldotna and at Homer, the recommendation was to classify the area as preservation. This was due to the extreme contours in the area. That will be sent to the assembly as a recommendation. Item E2, was an ordinance establishing an advisory planning commission for Kachemak Bay. The Planning Commission had voiced the concern that the area was too large. The ordinance went before the administration and the Mayor had recommended as originally proposed by Councilman Drathman. After receiving the Mayor's comments, the commission concurred with his recommendation. A petition to vacate an easement at Rappe Gallant Subdivision was approved. Public hearing F2, a vacation on Whisper Way, was denied. Item I8, from the City of Kenai on Beaver Loop Road, was approved. One item Planning & Zoning Commission Page 15 Minutes on the Consent Agenda was removed for discussion at the request of the owner of the property. This was an after -the -fact permit to place additional fill in the Cooper Landing area. The borough did not take action on the item; they did discuss it. The item has, been advanced to administrative review at the state level and it has gone beyond the appropriateness of borough comments. It is an area they have previously put in about 1000 cubic ;yards of fill in one of the overflow channels in the Cooper Landing area. They want to put additional fill in the channel. The ordinance establishing a Planning Commission for Funny River was recommended to be approved. A work session was held before the regular meeting that lasted two hours. The administration has taken the recommendations from the special board that was set up for the Kenai River and drafted an ordinance for the river. This is much less restrictive. Copies of the draft were supplied to the Commission as a handout for tonight's packet. Bryson noted that he felt that there are several areas of the draft will need to be tightened. One, they need to better define where the habitat area is; they refer to 60 percent cut banks. But, they don't say what constitutes a 60 percent bank. Also, mean high water line in river areas subject to tidal effects need to be addressed. Bryson stated he doesn't feel the current definition is adequate. Bryson read information on variance and stated he questioned what all reasonable use was and this may need to be reviewed. Bryson commented on other sections of the draft. Mr. Booth asked about the PDS permit resolution. Bryson advised that he had a copy if Mr. Booth would like to look at it. The resolution was proposing initial support of the general concept. Bryson stated it was non-specific. c. Administration Jack La Shot advised council will be looking at the draft regarding the flood at their next meeting. La Shot stated if anyone had any input to call him prior to noon on Friday and he would provide that input to council. La Shot informed the Commission that even though the city didn't get the additional funding asked for for the well, the city still has approximately $1.5 to $1.7 million available. The new well house design proposal will be before council at their next meeting. La Shot noted there is a strong possibility the city will be looking at a different design than the other two well houses that is less expensive. Mr. Walker asked La Shot if the new well water would be clear. La Shot stated that the new water had samples drawn today. La Shot stated the first set of tests look real good. The color is below detectable limits. Walker asked what opacity gradient was being used. La Shot stated color units. La Shot said well house one is 15 units, well house two is 45 units. Walker asked about the other inert materials commonly found in well house two water. La Shot stated no real problems. Walker asked if this water would meet current and near future federal standards? La Shot stated arsenic has been found at low levels but could rise with use. Smalley asked if the capacity had increased. La Shot stated at 1000 gallons. La Shot commented that for Kenai water it is the best he has seen. Planning & Zoning Commission Page 16 Minutes 11. PERSONS PRESENT NOT SCHEDULED: 12. INFORMATION ITEMS: a.

Kebschull advised the group that Ms. Freas had advised her today that several things have came up since the memo was written. Freas stated that it looks like the meeting will need to be held on the 29' due to several other meetings being scheduled since the memo was written. Kebschull advised that the group could make a choice and Ms. Freas would be advised. The group decided to wait to hear from Ms. Freas. 3. APPROVAL OF MINUTES a.

October 11, 1995 (Work Session —For Info Only) Hett noted the work session minutes were for information only. No need to approve. 4. PERSONS SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD a. Shirley LeVias, Green Star Chair person Hett introduced Shirley LeVias and stated she will be speaking to the committee about the "Adopt a Neighborhood" program. LeVias stated she was approached in Anchorage by Green Star about their program which is called, "Adopt a Trail." LeVias stated they asked if she would be interested in doing something here on the peninsula. LeVias added they had given her a pouch and information regarding the program. LeVias noted she had spoken with Mayor Williams and he felt that the "Adopt a Neighborhood" program would be better suited for Kenai. Swarner commented that Alpar is the group who sponsors the kids picking up the trash. LeVias showed the group a fanny pack she had been given and showed how it contained plastic gloves and trash bags. LeVias noted Beautification Committee Page 2 January 9, 1996 that individuals agree to adopt a neighborhood and then clean up around the block. She noted that this is just a verbal agreement that the citizen will receive the pack in exchange for maintaining the block. LeVias shared a brochure that Anchorage uses. LeVias stated she was really interested in this program; however, Green Star feels that she has too many projects and not enough time available to implement another program. LeVias added that on her off time she would not mind helping with the program. Hett asked LeVias what part she saw Beautification Committee taking in this program. LeVias stated that whatever was necessary to oversee the program. Hett asked if Alpar sponsored the bags. LeVias responded yes. Hett asked if she felt they would do it here. LeVias stated she had spoken with them before and that when the program is on line and when it is known what the group will do, they were advised to contact Alpar. Dimmick asked if the Beautification Committee were to sponsor this program, what would the committee be doing. Would it include getting volunteers? LeVias stated it would include getting volunteers. The city could decide what period of time to hold the program. LeVias stated a person would be needed to assign blocks and a central location to pickup fanny packs. Dimmick asked if they would be expected to do this on a particular time schedule. LeVias stated it would be up to the individual and that each individual would write their own agreement with the program. Hatt stated that the Chamber has always been involved with the trash pickup before and questioned if they would be interested in taking part of this program. LeVias stated they are involved in another program. Dimmick asked if these programs would be competing against each other. LeVias stated she did not feel it would be competition between the programs. LeVias stated that the Chamber feels the one program they participate takes a lot of effort. LeVias stated they only pick up trash on the major highways and that this program would be for neighborhoods. LeVias added that she could see this program being taken further and combined with recycling and the great aluminum can round up. Benedict asked what Parks and Rec did with the trash pickup. Frates advised they are involved with picking up the bags that are left along the highways. Frates stated that the first thing that came to mind when thinking about this is that it should be coordinated with Laura at the Chamber, but it sounds like she is overwhelmed the way it is. Frates stated this is a great promotion for citizenship and would like to see a recommendation made to Parks and Rec that this program Beautification Committee Page 3 January 9, 1996 be implemented. Frates noted that it could be coordinated through the Rec Center. Benedict commented that there are other groups in the area that have trash programs, like the Lions and the Seniors. LeVias reiterated that she would be willing to do whatever she could on her off time and that she works 30 hours per week for Green Star. Frates stated that during the Parks & Rec conference in Seward that Anchorage had shared that they hand our park bucks for their volunteers. All volunteer hours that are donated are documented and brought to a central location, such as the Rec Center, and in return they are given park bucks. They can be exchanged for example for a free hour of racket ball or wally ball or gym use. This is an added incentive. Frates stated this could tie in nicely to the trash program. Frates asked if the fanny packs were donated and LeVias stated that Alpar donated them. Hett stated that Alpar also donates the bags for the litter pick up. Hett asked if Alpar was a state organization. Frates stated he thought it was a state organization. Hett questioned if Beautification could do this program with Alpar as the Chamber does the program with the kids. HETT MOVED THAT BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE RECOMMEND THAT PARKS AND REC LOOK INTO SPONSORING THE ADOPT A NEIGHBORHOOD PROGRAM. MOTION SECONDED BY BENEDICT. APPROVED UNANIMOUS. Discussion by the group on where the trash that is picked up would be placed. Johnson advised that when she picks up trash now she has permission to use dumpsters at some businesses. Johnson noted that she carries Carrs or K-Mart bags in her pockets. When she fills one, she drops it off at a dumpster. Benedict asked if there was anything in the law stating it was illegal to use other businesses dumpsters. Frates stated for personal use it would not be allowed but this it wouldn't be a problem. DIMMICK LEFT MEETING AT APPROXMATELY 5:55 P.M. NO LONGER A QUORUM FOR VOTING PURPOSES. Shirley LeVias gave the group the number for Barb Campbell, the volunteer coordinator in Anchorage (343-4288). LeVias thanked the group for their time and left the meeting. 5. OLD BUSINESS Beautification Committee Page 4 January 9, 1996 6. NEW BUSINESS a. Goals & Objectives for 1996 Hett stated that the goals and objectives were listed in the minutes from the October work session. Hett stated the group needs to approve goals and objectives for 1996: Hett questioned if the Committee still had a quorum. It was decided there was not with only two voting members present. The decision was made to go ahead with informal discussion. The group turned to the October work session minutes to review goals and objectives. It was noted that on page 2, Overturf was spelled incorrectly. Hett stated that the group had talked about the garden tour pamphlet, the library garden. Hett asked the group if they wanted to refine the goals and objectives or bring them up again next meeting. Hett added that tracking volunteer hours was discussed, development of the green house, and sending Frates to Anchorage to talk about their greenhouse. Hett noted these were all ideas, and that they could be changed. Overturf noted that with so many people gone she felt it should be discussed at the next meeting. Overturf noted that she thought the same members present now were the ones who were present at the work session. Hett stated that perhaps in February the group would have a better definition of what they were doing and be a little more excited about spring. Frates stated that he couldn't really think of anything to add right now. With regard to the pamphlets, Frates noted the group had talked about leaving them at the Rec Center and the Visitor Center. Frates added that by documenting the volunteer hours it will be possible to go to council and demonstrate to them the interest that is created by the Beautification Committee. Swarner noted that if you could get something for the volunteer hours she would be more than willing to document them. Frates stated that was one reason he wanted to go in that direction. Hett asked if there would be any liability problems with persons using the gym with the volunteer bucks. Frates noted that this was another thing that had been discussed late last year was the idea of coming up with a liability release form for volunteers. Frates stated he felt the forms needed to be used. Frates commented that he has spoke with the city attorney briefly in this regard. Frates stated that the attorney did not believe it was absolutely pertinent that it be done but it was a good idea. Benedict stated injuries are a part of every day but today people are not the same that they used to be. People are suing left and right. Benedict added that she thought it is a good idea for the city's protection and that if people want to volunteer there should be no problem with waiving responsibility. Beautification Committee Page 5 January 9, 1996 Hett stated she felt each person should prioritize what they want to see done during the year. Hett added that she felt there are some things that definitely needed to be done this year such as the pamphlets, volunteer hours, and the liability release. And, there are things not as pertinent as those. Hett asked that these be written down so they can be looked at. Hett advised she would let the absent members know to be prepared for the next meeting. Frates stated that budget packets had been received and there are certain deadlines to meet. Frates commented that the sooner the goals can be decided upon the better and certainly those that include costs such as pamphlets. Frates commented it would be nice to have professional printed pamphlets. Swarner asked if Kebschull had publishing software. Kebschull commented that basic brochures could be formatted using a word processing program the only problem would be printing colors. Swarner asked if city hall had a color printer. Kebschull advised that Ms. Clark has one but it is very slow. Swarner added she had just got a new publishing program but she didn't think it did brochures. Swarner stated that there are a couple of copy businesses in town, one in the old Teamster building and one by Malstons. Frates stated he would get quotes for publishing brochures. Group discussion on planning the pamphlet for gardens. Frates commented that Anchorage has every bed lined out in advance in comparison to Kenai who doesn't know until the beds are planted. Frates stated it would be nice if the beds were all laid out and then document the planting. The pamphlet could be formatted and probably completed within a couple weeks. Benedict stated the established beds should be easy to document. Hett reiterated that for the next meeting the group would prioritize the goals and objectives and come up with an actual list of goals and objectives. b. Theme 1996 Hett stated at the work session the theme had been decided upon and it was, "Come Grow with Us, Citizens for a Beautiful Kenai." Hett stated that at the next meeting the theme could be voted on. Benedict asked Swarner if the theme was a guideline from the council or what is the reason for a theme. Benedict stated that when there is a theme it is usually carried from year-to-year. Benedict stated she fails to see the necessity of changing it each year. Swarner stated she felt it started with the roses. Frates stated he didn't think there was anything in the code but saw it as a guideline. Beautification Committee Page 6 January 9, 1996 Swarner stated she felt the Mayor likes themes. c. Parliamentary Procedure Work Session Hett reminded the group that they would be notified by Carol Freas of the date for the work session. 7. REPORTS a. Chairperson Chair person Hett stated she is looking forward to the summer. Hett noted she did not have any reports. Overturf asked if Hett had received any information from Merle Dean on what she has ordered. Hett stated she had invited her to the meeting but had not heard back from her. Swarner stated she had been in contact with her on Saturday for something else. She did note that she is working with Pat Porter for flowers around the Senior Center beds. In addition, she is giving advice to the people who want to build the assisted living complex so that the flower beds will flow from Leif Hanson across the street to the assisted living complex. Swarner explained that the complex is a proposal to be built in front of the Senior Center and Vintage Pointe. Swarner noted that it will be discussed at council next Wednesday night and at Planning and Zoning on Tuesday night. Swarner added that the city has leased the land to them. b. Parks & Rec Frates informed the group that the budget packets are out so if the group has any ideas that needed funded they should be discussed as soon as possible. Parks and Rec does have preliminary goals and objectives (passed around). Frates stated that when the Beautification Committee goals and objectives are decided he will add them to the list. Frates added that he would like to see banners and they hadn't discussed. Swarner commented that she knows that council will be talking about Christmas decorations. Frates stated that if anyone is interested he has a lot of information about banners. Frates commented that perhaps they could look at banners at the next meeting. Updating the green house, Frates noted that the electricity would be hooked up on Tuesday and gas would be hooked up later in the week. After the hookups, benches will need to be built inside. Swarner stated that when she was speaking with Merle Dean she noted that she didn't know about the green house; and if there is a party to initiate the green house, they need to make sure and invite her. Hett stated at the next meeting they could discuss christening the green house. Benedict asked what the earliest was the green house could be planted. Swarner stated that when she had been in the green house it was cold. Frates stated he was hoping to have the green house operational by January 1" so would hope to be ready by mid -February. Frates clarified that his intention was to use the green house this year on an experimental operation. This would mean purchasing a limited amount of seeds and then go from there. And, if Merle Dean was willing to grow some plants for the city this year, the green house could serve as a holding spot until the plants are mature. Swarner asked if there was an employee now to work in the green house, and Frates responded no. Frates informed the group of the Townsite Historic meeting on January 23'd and encouraged everyone to attend. Frates noted they may be included in the aspect of landscaping. Frates reported that he contacted the Sterling Green House. They will provide marigolds for the airport sign for $300 for 400 plants. Frates reported that in 1994 the city purchased 230 from Kenai River Nursery for $687; last year 200 plants were purchased for $500. Frates stated he felt 400 marigolds for $300 was reasonable. Frates added that they would be Galores, short, squatty plants. Benedict asked if they would stand up better than last year's plants and Frates added they would be like the ones from Trinity. Frates advised he met with Tom Jahns late in the season and the city obtained lots more plant materials that was donated to the city. Frates stated they are all flagged. This is from the Extension Service. Also, they went ahead and gave the city the area by the gate as you walk in the fence. Hett asked if it was cleaned out. Frates noted that they were working on it when he met with Mr. Jahns. c. Council Swarner reported that the Memorial Park policy had been revised by council to have big picnics, the River Festival, and things like that by the softball fields. The bathrooms are there and there wouldn't be a need to worry about portable bathrooms. Swarner added that weddings could be held at the Memorial Park. The idea that the function may have a large amount of people but you wouldn't be there very long. It is not necessarily the number of people that are regulated but how long they would be using the facility. Benedict asked if this came out of the complaint from last year. Swarner advised it sort of came from that and that the new bathrooms were put in to accommodate larger groups. Swarner stated that when the council had discussed limiting groups to numbers that they discussed that if they used 50 that Veteran's Day is over 50 people. Swarner reported that the city has a new finance director who is computer literate. Frates asked what was the proper procedure to advertise for members for the commission. Swarner stated she had talked to the Mayor about that and at one point she was going to put an ad on the cable t.v. but she never did that. Hett advised that Carol Freas had placed an ad today. Swarner stated the only other Beautification Committee Page 8 January 9, 1996 thing would be if someone contacted the gossip columnist, Ms. Hanson, to put a comment in her ad. Swarner stated that word of mouth seems to work well. Hett advised if anyone had any names or ideas they should pass them along. Frates stated it was a little discerning at the last council meeting because one of the members had made a comment that the usefulness of the committees should be looked at. Frates added that hurt him because he feels this committee is necessary. And, this committee is so seasonal. He would like to encourage everyone if they know of anyone who may be interested to have them apply. Group discussion about the membership requirements. Hett stated that she thought that Benedict and Overturf were an exception to the rule. Swarner said she took that to council and they said no. They wanted all residents on the committee. This means the committee has five members and two ad hoc members. Frates asked Swarner if they could advertise via flyers at the Rec Center for new members? Swarner stated yes and that the library uses that method. Frates stated that he felt that at one time they were told not to do that. Hett said she thought they had talked about a PSA in the newspaper. Swarner asked if there was a reason they were told not to use the PSA and Hett said no. Benedict asked if there was any committee or commission member in the City of Kenai who were not residents of the city. Swarner advised there are some exceptions. The Airport Commission has a certain number that are not residents. They have to be related to the airport such as an airport user, tenant, etc. The Historic Board has a certain number who do not have to be Kenai residents. Swarner stated she had asked if Beautification could be changed and they said no. Benedict asked what the problem was? Swarner stated she thought the feeling was if the committee was going to be useful it should be the citizens of Kenai should be interested in it. Swarner said she knew that this sounded awful. Benedict stated it did in as much as she has been on the committee for five or six years. And, it is a struggle to get seven people and she and Linda Overturf are here wanting to volunteer. Swarner stated she knew they were very dedicated volunteers. Benedict said she is looking at it that if anyone has a desire to be on the committee, all it is is a working committee, they should be able to volunteer. Benedict said all the committee is doing is the enjoyment as working as a group. Swarner stated she agreed but she was one of seven council members. 8. QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS Johnson asked if anyone else had gotten the letter from the Alaska Cooperative Extension about the potential master gardening class. Hett and Benedict stated Beautification Committee Page 9 January 9, 1996 they had signed up. Johnson stated she will miss the day because she will be in Seattle. Hatt reminded her that it goes for eight weeks. Hatt stated that they need three more people to sign up before they will offer the class and encouraged Johnson to sign up. Group asked Frates if he had received the information. He stated no but took the information and said he would check into the class. Frates asked Swarner about the Memorial Park policy. Frates commented that the policy went to council and council said something to the effect that administration needs to come up with a policy. Frates asked if that was correct? Swarner said probably. Frates asked if Parks and Rec needed to come up with a written amendment to the existing policy. Frates noted the policy is vague. Swarner stated it should be vague just stating that each function would need to be approved. That you wouldn't limit it to numbers but the time factor is the important factor. Johnson asked if the committee was planning on attending the January 25' town meeting at the Senior Center. Hett stated the group is invited to attend. Hatt reiterated that the group is invited to the work session on the 23`d at 6 p.m. And, possibly the 29'" for parliamentary procedures work session. Hatt noted she would like to comment that the trees by city hall look very pretty. A nice winter garden. Benedict asked what seed catalogs they will be using noting she had ordered a bunch of catalogs this year. Frates stated he had a bunch also. Benedict stated she had a Jackson Perkins which she felt was useless to the area. Benedict questioned if they would have a work session to order seeds or if Merle Dean would be doing that. Frates stated he thought they needed to get with Merle Dean and find out what her plans are but certainly they would be ordering some seeds. Johnson asked if when the green house was fired up if it would be year round. Frates stated it would only be heated up periodically to get the snow off the roof. Overturf stated she would request that the committee members be given copies of Merle Dean's order again this year. She stated that she felt it was very interesting and would be useful in preparing the pamphlet. 9. INFORMATION a. Leif Hansen Memorial Park Memo dated October 11, 1995 b.

ITEM B: SCHEDULED PUBLIC COMMENTS B-1. Steven Dempsey and Mark Borzych - (This item was added to the agenda at the beginning of the meeting.) Mr. Dempsey referred to a letter which was included in the packet as Information Item No. 5. Dempsey introduced himself and explained that Handy Works is a group of seven Nikiski High School students that formed a business through the Economic Development District and the Boys & Girls Club. The program is educational and with an emphasis on learning practical business skills. Mark Hodgins is their adult supervisor. Dempsey further explained that Handy Works would conduct a timber survey, identifying and marking spruce beetle infested trees for $15.00 an acre and larger plots at $10.00 per acre. Members of Handy Works are receiving training from local timber operators and State of Alaska foresters. Mark Borzych - Mr. Borzych informed council that he has some experience in timber harvesting through his family business. Borzych added, he felt comfortable that their group could do the service for the city. Handy Works has insurance coverage through the EDD and Boys & Girls Club and to his knowledge, they would not be breaking any child labor laws in order to do the service. The project is directly related to their schooling. They will be applying what they learned in training to the completion of a project. Councilman Smalley asked if the city's insurance requirements would be met. City Attorney Graves answered the council set a policy that workers' compensation and liability insurance is required for contractors working on city property. Unless council wants to amend their policy, they would be required to carry the insurance. Mr. Hodgins reported that the group would be covered through the EDD and Boys & Girls Club insurance policies. Mayor Williams stated he believed the work study program could be worked out. The group would not be cutting timber. His vision KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 3, 1996 PAGE 3 of the project would be to have the group work in conjunction with the survey to be done on the Dena'ina Point properties. Smalley stated he did not believe it could be considered a work - release program through the schools as the students would receive payment for their service. Williams requested Administration to investigate whether the group would be covered by the EDD and Boys & Girls Club liability and workers' comprehensive insurance. Williams asked if Handy Works was formed through the EDD start-up program for small businesses. Hodgins answered yes. Williams stated he believed EDD would have a shared liability for the project and added, he believed it would be a prime situation for administration to investigate. Councilman Bookey stated he believed administration should do more investigation of what the city's involvement in determining the beetle -kill trees, etc. is to be first (how much property, what money will be generated, etc.). Bannock suggested that if the Dena'ina property consisted of 100 acres, payment to Handy Works would be $1,000. Bannock stated he believed the insurance questions should be answered first before going ahead with a contract with Handy Works. Bannock added, he would like to see the project go forward. Councilwoman Swarner stated she also would like to have the insurance questions answered and agreed with wanting a full report on all the steps needing to be taken and how they will be accomplished prepared prior to letting the contract. Williams requested administration to review the insurance and legal questions in regard to Handy Works doing the identification and marking of the trees. The report should be brought to council within a couple weeks. ITEM C: PUBLIC HEARINGS C-1. Ordinance No. 1670-95 - Amending KMC Section 23.35.020 to Subject Employees to Disciplinary Action for Failure to Comply with the City's Drug and Alcohol Abuse and Testing Policy or Failure to Comply with City, State or Federal Safety and Health Law, Regulations and Policy. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 3, 1996 PAGE 4 Y c•�+1 col ;F Councilman Bookey MOVED for adoption of Ordinance No. 1670-95 and Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion. Colleen Canady - 520 Ash Street, Kenai. Ms. Canady stated she was not sure this was the appropriate time to state her concern. Canady stated she is aware of the city's police personnel who are involved in the D.A.R.E. program in the schools. She added, she felt it was contradictory to the school children to have a policeman encouraging them to stay away from drugs and alcohol, but have police officers driving in city police cars, smoking cigarettes and cigars. Mayor Williams stated the occupational safety and health regulations (federal, state or city) do not discuss smoking in vehicles. There are regulations in regard to smoking in buildings. It is a matter of policy within the Police Department. This topic is not covered in the ordinance before them. Williams read the amendment to the existing ordinance into the record. Adding at Item 15 of the ordinance: Failure to follow the city's alcohol and controlled substance abuse and testing policy as set forth in the City of Kenai Employee Handbook. Knowingly or negligently failing to follow federal and state occupational safety and health regulations and City law and policy regarding the same issue. Canady asked if the city had a policy in regard to smoking in city vehicles. Williams requested an answer from City Manager Manninen. Manninen stated, the city does not restrict any smoking in city vehicles. Canady asked why not. Manninen answered, we don't. It's simply a choice. There is no restriction by the council. The department heads do not require the restriction and it's not done. There are areas in buildings that are restricted from smoking, but other than that, it's like the overall alcohol and drug testing policies, you get into a very thin line what is public, what is private, what's is somebody's individual rights and the council has chosen not to restrict someone's right to smoke in a patrol car if they are the person in the car and they aren't holding meetings in the car where other people have to be in there. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 3, 1996 PAGE 5 Canady asked when the topic would come before council. Manninen answered it does not come before council on a regular basis. The issue that is before council is the overall commercial drivers' license requirement by federal law that the city is required to test CDL license holders which are basically people driving the graders and the vehicles in the Department of Public Works. That is the ordinance that is up for adoption and it received its second reading and within the next several weeks the administration will have a policy to the council on how that is to be enforced and the guidelines will be spelled out and there will be discussion on that then. Manninen added, he thought within the month, the guideline will be out. Unless there is other direction from the council, the guideline is the alcohol and drug testing program is going to be applied for the CDL licensees only in the DPW and the reasonable suspicion testing for police and fire, the way it has been in the past and is currently in effect, in no other more restrictive requirements for any other city employees. Canady asked how the general public could come before council in regard to police smoking in city vehicles, while in uniform, while on duty. Councilman Smalley explained that at the end of any council meeting under "Persons not scheduled to be heard." Additionally, the City Clerk could be contacted and request to be placed at "Persons scheduled to be heard" on the agenda. Manninen added the concerns could be addressed to council without being on the agenda by attending a public meeting. Discussion on the ordinance: Councilman Bannock asked if the rules, discussed in the second paragraph of Manninen's memo (which was included in the packet) meant that the rules would be brought before council for review. Manninen answered yes. Bannock added, he would like to have a broad discussion on the rules when they are presented, as he was not happy with the discussion which council had on the drug testing program in a previous meeting. Bannock stated he would vote for the ordinance amendment at this meeting, with the understanding that the rules will be before council for discussion. Manninen stated the rules would be presented at the next meeting, or the first meeting in February. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 3, 1996 PAGE 6 Williams suggested that council may be concerned that they are not aware of the rules, before enacting the law. Bannock agreed. Williams asked if there were other members of council concerned the law would be changed before seeing the rules. Manninen stated they plan to design the rules that CDL's will be required and testing will be required of CDL's based on federal law and that reasonable suspicion testing be continued for police and fire personnel. Testing would stop there and no one else would be tested in city employ. If council feels strongly, Manninen suggested they talk about it before the rules. Smalley stated his concern is when any city employee operating a city vehicle on city business constitutes a potential safety difficulty liability with the city. He realizes there are employee protections, but he would like the City Attorney to investigate the possibility of drafting a policy that would include any employee operating a city vehicle. Attorney Graves stated they internally have debated this issue a great deal due to council's prior comments. Case law has said that private industry can do certain things that government cannot. The Fourth Amendment does not affect private industry and states that government can only do certain things. Courts have said that, for public safety and highly regulated professions, they would make certain rules. Those highly regulated professions include bus drivers, pilots, train engineers, police and fire. Graves added, he has not seen any case law which would categorize a regular drivers' license as a highly regulated profession. Graves stated he believes that they can place police and fire in the highly regulated profession and people with CDL's because they are commercial instead of ordinary operator licenses. He added, he and other attorneys believe that is as far as they are comfortable with going, unless the courts liberalize their interpretation. Graves added, he believes they could go to random testing for police and fire and certain other safety - sensitive positions within the city. Councilman Measles stated "reasonable suspicion" could be extended to any employee in the city, whether they are driving a vehicle or sitting at a desk. That should not be in any jeopardy with the courts. Graves answered there is a lot of written material saying that legal scholars do not think that public employees "reasonable suspicion" will pass muster unless there is KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 3, 1996 PAGE 7 some basis on which to base an actual problem. Graves stated he has discussed the matter with other people and has been told they thought it might work if the city could document drug or alcohol problems in particular areas with general members of city employees. Graves stated he was not aware of any department head who believes there is a drug or alcohol problem in their department. Graves stated he would investigate this further with more of an in depth analysis of whether or not they could go to reasonable suspicion for general employees. He mainly focused on random testing for people beyond police and fire. Councilwoman Swarner used as a scenario a city employee taking a group of youth to Alyeska to ski. Under what Attorney Graves had explained, the person driving the van would not have to be tested and would not have a CDL. Williams suggested that a requirement through an administrative policy could be that whoever is transporting members of the general public should be tested. Manninen suggested that requirement would be there if there were more than 16 passenger or bus. Manninen added, why would a city employee do it if there are more than 16 people, a private carrier could be hired and a fee charged to cover the cost of the bus. Bannock stated he could not go along with a separation of private and public employees and added that all city drivers should be susceptible to drug testing. He added, he would like to see all of the city employees be included in regard to drug testing. He would like to see the policy written and if a non -critical employee chooses to sue the city against the policy, it is the only way the law will be clarified. Bannock added, he believed it was wrong for a person working for the city of Kenai not having to be drug tested because he works for the city. Williams stated that Bannock was delving into an area of law that is much broader than what the city of Kenai wants to interpret. Smalley stated he would not suggest that every city employee be drug tested or that city employees who operate a city vehicle be randomly tested. He added, maybe a policy could be written to state if an operator of a city vehicle, outside of a CDL, is involved in an accident or who is suspected to have been involved in drug or alcohol use, that individual could be tested. Graves stated he would investigate the reasonable suspicion standard for general city employees. Graves added he understood Councilman Bannock's frustration, but his job is to tell council KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 3, 1996 PAGE 8 what the law is. Losing a civil rights lawsuit would not be an inexpensive proposition. It would be attorney fees, five years' salary and retirement benefits, etc., which could add up to a $.5 million proposition. Graves added, he would rather have someone else pay the price and have the city learn from their mistakes. Smalley asked if having a policy as he suggested, jeopardize the city's liability. Graves answered it would limit the city's liability, but the problem would evolve when the city would try to test someone for reasonable suspicion. It is a very tricky issue and there are specific classes on teaching supervisors when to say they have reasonable suspicion. There is a lot of liability in falsely accusing people for using drugs, etc. Graves added, CDL holders are not automatically tested if they are involved in a vehicular accident. The federal government says if they receive a citation or if there is a fatality involved, then they are automatically tested, no matter what. Councilman Measles referred to "Causes for warning suspension or dismissal, item 301 and stated, unless a person sees or videotapes an employee doing one of those things, there is no way to discipline an employee for that item unless there is some way, under reasonable cause, to test that employee. It is a matter of the code, but there is no way to enforce it unless there is some way to test that employee. Graves agreed and stated it would be hard unless a co-worker saw another employee physically drinking on the job or smelled alcohol on their breath. Measles stated he was talking about drugs used within eight hours of coming to work. There is no way that an employee could be dismissed under that item unless there is some way to require the employee to be tested. Williams stated the testing was the big thing because in Item 3, should there be an accident in which the employee was involved, and a requirement for testing for drug use because the accident takes place, that would be the only way to know whether the employee took drugs. Measles agreed, and added, they are being told they cannot do a test even for reasonable cause for anyone other than police and fire department. Williams agreed, not under this policy. Measles noted, it doesn't say testing can be done in case of an accident. Williams stated his concern that council was being asked to make an amendment to the ordinance in which the testing policy is referred, before knowing what that policy is. Williams added, he KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 3, 1996 PAGE 9 thought administration was testing to see whether or not the council was interested in passing the amendment to the code before the rules were written. Measles stated he was concerned that there were employees being singled out who would be subject to drug testing, random drug testing, reasonable drug testing, and no one else can be tested or fall under that policy. Measles stated he disagreed with that. Williams suggested administration could write the handbook to cover all employees. Measles stated they were being told that could not be done. Williams asked then why were they delving into the issue if they couldn't cover all of the employees under one code. Graves stated that he believed Manninen had planned to say in the personnel manual what positions were subject to random drug testing. That would be how employees would know whether they are subject to random drug testing. Measles stated that was fine, but it should go further that all employees of the city should be subject to testing for reasonable cause. Measles added, he agreed the random testing could get real touchy and that whoever orders it must be real sure before they order the testing. It should be able to be put on every employee of the city. Manninen stated they never said they couldn't do that, but that won't be the recommendation of administration. If that's what council wants, they need to realize that by doing it, there are added liabilities that the city may inherit by saying, we don't have to do random drug testing on all employees, but we choose to because we think it's the right public policy. If that statement is made and that direction is made, then they will write the policy to include CDL's, police, fire, reasonable suspicion and all other employees. However, Manninen added, he thought that would give the city added liability exposure, more heartaches and pain in the next two to five years. If council wants it written that way, they are the boss and they need to tell them to write it that way and they will write it that way. They are saying they don't recommend that it now because they don't want to be the first test case and don't want to experience those bad things in the next two to five years. They don't want to put their supervisors in the position of making a mistake and then they all pay for it. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 3, 1996 PAGE 10 Measles added, the ordinance was necessary whatever the policy is. He would like a policy written for government as an employer. Smalley stated he would support the ordinance because it is required. He added, he would like a policy from management that is best for the city. Williams suggested the law was being written before they knew what the policy would be. Measles stated they have to amend the ordinance, even without the policy. Random testing of CDL's is understood, but he would like to see the policy expanded more like private industry under the same situations. Public Works Director Kornelis stated he had a draft of the policy available for council review.

MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED for adoption of Resolution No. 96-1 and Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion. There were no public comments. Councilman Bannock stated he was not sure why the resolution came back to them as the project was already a No. 1 priority on the TRAAK Program. Bannock added, he did not feel it a No. 1 priority and would not support it. Councilman Smalley requested Bannock to support it as the funding would come from a different program than the highway project. Smalley added he would support the project and explained council requested Resolution No. 95-80 be separated and separate resolutions be brought to council for consideration. Councilman Measles stated he was not sure he would support the resolution. He added his biggest concern was the state could KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 3, 1996 PAGE 12 fund bike paths, but not fund the city's water well project. Bannock added his concern that the paths would deteriorate (in a short amount of time) like those previously built on Forest Drive. Williams stated he would support the resolution and added, the funding would come from 92-8 money which has already been budgeted.

There were no public comments. Councilman Bookey asked if responses were received from other property owners of Dena'ina Point. Public Works Director Kornelis stated only the one already reported which was from Dr. Hansen. Bookey stated he did not want to spend the money until administration comes back to council with a plan of what is going to be done and how it is going to be done. Bookey added he believed the project would cost more than what is thought and the project will be more substantial than thought. Bannock stated he thought the survey would allow them to go forward with a plan. Bookey stated he was concerned the money would be spent and kids would remove the flags and stakes before the timber project could be completed. Smalley stated he agreed with Bannock. That doing the survey would get them to the next phase of the work. Smalley stated he would support the resolution. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 3, 1996 PAGE 13 Williams stated he thought doing the survey would be a way to get the property started in development. Williams referred to his discussion with Tom Dowl of Princess Tours, Hotels and New Construction and the possibility of the future development of the property. Williams added, he thought the work should be done before the cost of the survey increased. It was suggested survey markers could be spray -painted on the trees. It was also noted that there is water and sewer stubbed on that side of the road.

Bannock asked if, when this project would be completed, if North Forest Drive would be the width of South Forest Drive. Answer was yes. Bannock asked if KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 3, 1996 PAGE 14 South Forest Drive had sidewalks. Answer was yes. Bannock stated he would rather support sidewalks being placed on both sides of North Forest Drive instead of bike paths. Kornelis suggested that if that was what council wanted, the resolution be amended and remove discussion of bike/pedestrian paths in the third paragraph and replace it with sidewalks. Williams suggested a letter discussing the want of sidewalks instead of bike/pedestrian paths be sent to DOT so that changes can be made in the design. MOTION TO AMEND: Councilman Bannock MOVED to amend Resolution No. 96-4 and replace "bike/pedestrian paths" in the third whereas with "sidewalks." Councilman Measles SECONDED the motion.

Approved and introduced by consent agenda. H-4. Discussion - Setting Public Hearing Date/Thompson Park Sewer and Water Special Assessment District. Mayor Williams referred to Information Items No. 2 and 3, which were time tables for the Thompson Park Sewer and Water Assessment District and the budget work sessions, etc. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 3, 1996 PAGE 18 Williams explained that he had hoped council could discuss the assessments of the properties prior to the public hearing. He was concerned about some of the properties needing adjustments as some of the assessments, for the larger lots, are five or six times the amounts of the other properties. The larger lots include a lot of swamp area which cannot be developed. Williams continued, that he had been working with Finance Director Brown in regard to these assessments and had developed an idea to reduce the assessments, absorbing the amounts not charged to these properties into the city's part of the project. Williams added, he thought it unfair for one property owner to pay $12,000 in assessments and others only $2,000. Bookey asked for an explanation of how the amount is calculated. Kornelis reviewed the requirements of the code. Bookey stated he would want to see the parcels before making a decision on changing the assessments charged. Williams stated that was why he was asking council to give an opportunity to review the assessments prior to the public hearing. Kornelis stated he had the maps and assessment rolls available and could include them in the next council meeting packet. Bookey asked if they would (if change the assessments of the large lot) be giving the large property owners an unfair advantage over the smaller lots, especially if the large lots were later subdivided. Williams answered it was his understanding that the large properties cannot be subdivided because portions of the property are in the swamp. Councilman Moore asked if changing assessments had been done before. Williams answered council has had all kinds of payments over the years. Williams noted the average cost of the assessments for Thompson Park was $1,300. The five highest assessments were $11,066, $9,882, $12,124, $8,645 and $,508. Kornelis noted that there was one stubout to the large lots and if those lots would be subdivided, the owner would have to pay additional costs for additional stubouts. Councilman Bannock stated he did not like the idea of changing the formula even though he does not like the formula. Bannock asked if the assessed value wouldn't come into account if the land was not useable? This protects the land owner. Finance KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 3, 1996 PAGE 19 Director Brown had told him that if the property owner could establish the property worthless, the assessment could be lowered. Williams noted, the Borough would first have to assess the property at a lesser amount. Bannock stated he would not support changing the formula for just a few. Williams stated he thought something should be done to the assessment list as it is. Kornelis noted the code says the formula has to be done this way, unless council says to do it differently. Williams requested assessment list information be included in the 1/17/96 packet for review by council prior to the public hearing. Kornelis noted that the preliminary assessments were mailed to all property owners when the preliminary list was developed. Kornelis added that the time to change the assessment formula would have been at the beginning as the grants for the project have been closed. The city will have to absorb the costs. Councilman Smalley stated he didn't have a problem with reviewing the assessments on 1/17/96. However, he did have a problem with the formula and requested administration to investigate a different method to determine the cost, based on the actual number of stubouts for future assessments. Finance Director Sweeney stated he thought council could reallocate the assessments to the property owners. Measles noted that then there would be 110 people upset because their assessments will be more than what they were originally told. Williams stated their costs could be less. Measles added, the estimated assessments were given to the property owners before the project was done and no one complained. Swarner noted she had received no complaints. Williams stated he would vote against the assessment roll if it is not changed. Measles stated that the assessments were determined according to the code and until it is changed, if council makes exceptions on a case by case basis, there will be a bigger problem. Bannock stated he agreed there is problem with the formula, but he did not agree with Williams' solution. Bannock added, they were talking about fundamental fairness. Williams stated he didn't know if his solution was the fairest, but council needs to develop a fairer method. Bannock stated that now is not the right time to change the rules. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 3, 1996 PAGE 20 Kornelis noted that the project cost will be lower because the cost of the project came in under bid. Williams requested administration include the assessment list and information in the 1/17/96 packet for council review. There were no objections to setting the public hearing date for 2/7/96. H-5. Discussion - State Transportation Needs and Priorities in Alaska. Manninen referred to the information included in the packet and noted it was a draft of the transportation needs according to council's discussion at their last meeting. Kornelis suggested his letter be amended to request sidewalks placed on both sides of North Forest Drive as discussed with Resolution No. 96-4 and send a copy of the letter to DOT engineering. Kornelis added, the city's comments need to be submitted by January 8. Councilman Smalley stated he concurred with Kornelis' suggestion. There were no further comments in regard to Kornelis' letter. H-6. Discussion - City Manager's Report: Assessment District for Kenai River Bank Restoration Proposed by the Beaver Creek Bank Restoration and Protection Group Petition. Mayor Williams noted the recommendation of the city manager was not to enter into a public improvement program and was concurred by several members of administration. City Manager Manninen explained the response to the petition that was before the council last month, as provided in the November 28 memorandum (in the packet). The city attorney added his opinion and that was also attached and a copy of the finance director's memorandum was also attached. The required response by the city manager by Charter, Chapter 16.10.010 of the Kenai Municipal Code on public improvements and special assessments is provided by the memorandum. Basically, summarized it is four different points: (1) the public improvement requirement by Article 7 of the Charter is the first requirement and it is questionable whether the private docks or ramps that are requested would be considered public improvements; KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 3, 1996 PAGE 21 (2) by the eligible public improvements by the code, by the application of the Beaver Creek Bank Restoration group to the Fish & Game, through their agent/engineer, they did not state that this was for a change in the channel or streams or watercourses and ironically, if they had said it was for a change in the stream, channel or watercourse channel, that is one of the nine clear-cut ways that you become an eligible public improvement by the Kenai Code. We have that by the attorney and other staff members read it, that was the closest thing to becoming eligible in the entire project. Without it, it doesn't become an eligible project; (3) least importantly, it's a fact that the costs of nearly $200,000 may be underestimated even if it were a public project. We weren't sure whether they could be substantiated at those levels. It's possible, but there is also some doubt that it could come in at that project cost; (4) and finally, the 25% fair market value limitation that is provided by city code, KMC 16.05.010(b), which we discussed on the Thompson Park project earlier, basically says that no assessment shall be levied in excess of 25% of the fair market value property after giving effect to the benefit accruing from the work or action for which assessed, except where all benefitted property owners waive the above 25% limitation and agree to accept on a proportional basis 100% of the costs of improvements. Manninen continued, basically for those reasons and say that it's not a manageable LID or SAD district and don't recommend council enter into it. Councilman Bannock complimented Manninen, Attorney Graves and Finance Director Sweeney for the well -written, in-depth memoranda. Bannock asked if Mr. Rainey received a copy of the memoranda. Clerk Freas acknowledged he was given a copy of the report. Manninen added, another thing that they thought was included, but didn't summarize in his comments, but included on page 2 of his memorandum, he suggested possible ways of funding that would not be an LID district, and not be a public improvement for the city. Basically, from Exxon Valdez funds through the Alaska Department of Emergency Services or FEMA funds that maybe available. Exxon Valdez funds have already been distributed to Fish & Game and other agencies. They may support projects. The only way they could figure it could be a project to be done would be to get Exxon Valdez funds to dedicate 30-50 feet and propose building some kind of walkway, access, boardwalk, around the entire area from Angler Drive all the way over to Beaver Creek and go for a KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 3, 1996 PAGE 22 boardwalk project. Manninen added, he thought for those funds, someone would have to say, if you fund it, this property would be accessible to the general public. Manninen stated he wondered if Mr. Rainey or any of the property owners would be willing to do that. If he were in that position, he did not know if he would want to have it as a public dock and have Exxon Valdez or Fish & Game allowing anyone on there who had a different business and a different purpose than that. Nevertheless, there are funds that have been made available and that would be one source. Also, the council did go on record in December in showing the council's sympathy and empathy for the private property owners by passing a resolution supporting Fish & Game, supported their grant application and also the Mayor had several letters in the packet to the Borough and everybody who's anybody in the state supporting it too. All the staff is saying is that it does not qualify for an LID, but there may be other sources of getting funding. Ron Rainey - Rainey began by thanking the Mayor, Clerk and City Manager for their help in developing the resolution and writing letters in support of acquisition of funding from Fish & Game, etc. Rainey added, he appreciated the report developed, but questioned the approach to the final results. Rainey stated he felt his dock has public access from the river. Also, Fish & Game believes they would not be changing the water course, but he believes their project would. Rainey also commented that their contractor, who is board regulated, has stated the $199,000 to do the project is a high estimate. It is within the scope of reality. The cost of $25,000 assessed to each lot won't be a problem for three of the property owners. The fourth owner hopes to build in the spring and believes it won't be a problem. Their group is working hard to acquire Exxon Valdez monies to do the project. Two of the property owners don't need an LID and two have SBA loans, which are better. They want the LID approved in order to get a commitment from other property owners. The LID would tie the project together. Rainey asked that the staff take another look at the application and proposed project and perhaps make it an acceptable project. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 3, 1996 PAGE 23 Their group is exploring the suggested possibilities. Rainey added that a cul-de-sac or sewer line is only for those property owners in that area too. Williams stated council would remain open to questions and ideas to help him. Councilman Measles stated he would need loot approval of the property owners to do an LID. If an SBA loan is used, Davis -Bacon scale wouldn't be needed as it would if the city would do the project. Attorney Graves stated council could determine to review the application at another date. Clerk Freas stated she believed action would need to be taken to either go forward or not with the project as there are notice time lines, etc. required. Attorney Graves agreed. MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED to accept the City Manager's report as filed as well as reports submitted by the City Finance Director and City Attorney and accept them. Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. 8-7. Contract for Lobbyist Services Mayor Williams reported he would be traveling to Juneau for a Alaska Conference of Mayors meeting on January 22. Williams added, he would be talking with Ashley Reed in Juneau and asked council if they intended to rehire Reed as the city's lobbyist. Williams referred to information added to the agenda and distributed at the beginning of the meeting which noted payments made to Reed, reports filed, etc. (Correction was made on page 1 of the memorandum in regard to $12,000 paid. The date should have been 1/24/94. Correction was also made to the last sentence on the second page. The budget should have been 95/96 instead of 94/95.) Council noted that the purchase order was still not closed for the budget year 1993/94 as billings were not received. Bills have not been received for 1994/95 and contract -required reports were not submitted. Also noted, council budgeted $24,000 in the 1995/96, however no contract has been prepared. Smalley stated money was placed in the budget for hire of a lobbyist or for council members to travel and lobby for the city. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 3, 1996 PAGE 24 Councilman Measles stated his concern that the city hired a lobbyist who doesn't know to bill the city. Manninen added that Reed was very helpful in developing the Challenger legislation. Williams added that Reed is very powerful and influential. Bannock suggested Williams remind Reed that there are two open purchase orders to pay for his services. Bannock added he would not vote to renew a contract with Reed. Attorney Graves added that Reed has been asked, by telephone and letters, for billings and reports. Councilwoman Swarner suggested he could send the city a contract. Williams added he would talk with Reed in regard to the water well project while he is in Juneau. He will also discuss these other matters with him in a politically astute manner. EXECUTIVE SESSION None scheduled. ITEM I: ADMINISTRATION REPORTS 1-1. Mayor a. Princess Tours - Williams reported Princess Tours had purchased property in Ninilchik in order to build a hotel there. They have also expanded their hotel at Cooper Landing. b. Response Letter to Gene Burden - Williams referred to the draft letter to Gene Burden (passed out at the beginning of the meeting) in which he responded to Burden's recent letter denying $960,000 funding for completion of the city's water well project. Williams stated he wanted to hand -deliver the letter to Governor Knowles later in the month. Williams requested permission to take the letter and asked if council had any suggested changes to the letter, they should call the Clerk and pass the suggestions on to her. C. Vehicle Financial Pool - Williams reported that he discussed his concept of a vehicle financial pool with Finance Director Sweeney and found that Sweeney had developed a similar policy in Sitka. Williams requested permission of council to have Sweeney draft a similar plan for Kenai. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 3, 1996 PAGE 25 Bookey asked if the heavy equipment would be included in the plan. Williams answered yes. Williams noted the plan should also review the need for a person to administer the plan. There were no objections. d. Automated Voting System - Williams reported he received some information about electronic voting boards and will have available in the Clerk's office if council wanted to review it. e. Games of Chance and Contests of Skill - Williams referred to the report included in the packet, along with the corrected information (from the State) distributed at the beginning of the meeting and reviewed the net income information. f. AIP Funds/Aircraft Firefighting Facility - Williams passed out a draft letter to Senator Stevens requesting his support for funds to build an aircraft firefighting facility in Kenai. Williams requested permission to send the letter. There were no objections. Williams added, Manninen would be attending the National League of Cities Conference in Washington, DC in March. If the city receives a clear indication that the facility is in reach of acquiring for Kenai, he would like Manninen to discuss the matter personally with Alaska legislators. He would also like to Manninen to also discuss the potential for obsoleting the antenna farm and cleaning up of that site. I-2. City Manager a. Pay Plan - Manninen reported he received a draft of the pay plan and would be meeting with the committee tomorrow. He plans to schedule discussion of the plan for the next council meeting. b.

Initiative, until the 1/17/96 meeting. The postponement was to give time for council to attend a presentation by representatives from the Initiative to be given at an upcoming Chamber luncheon. Freas reported she received a telephone call from Robert Hall, who will be giving the presentation. His presentation is scheduled for 1/24. Freas asked council if they wished to hold Resolution No. 95-81 until the 2/7/96 meeting. MOTION: Councilman Measles MOVED to hear 7, 1996 and Councilwoman Swarner no objections. SO ORDERED. I-5.

Bob Peters - Peters asked information on the following: 1. When are the Christmas street decorations taken down? Answer: After Russian Christmas. 2. Who pays for the power for the Christmas lights? Kornelis answered, the State does. 3. Why are there only white lights on the decorations and no colored lights? Answer: The lights were always white, but there had been colored trim with the lights. Council gave permission to remove the trim from the lights and use them as silhouette lights to prolong the life of the decorations and because the trim was in disrepair. Bookey suggested the purchase of new Christmas lights should be discussed during budget sessions this year. 4. Peters stated he agreed with Councilman Measles in regard to the Ashley Reed contract. Peters reminded council that last year Mr. Reed stated there was a pocket of money for distribution and there wasn't. Kornelis also reported the public hearing for the Mission Avenue improvements was well -attended. The Church is to decide whether or not they want a one-way road. There is one individual property owner who will not give any of his property for the road. They are investigating whether the road could be made a two-way road in front of Fort Kenay. All the property along the length of the road is private property. The private rights -of -way will need to be changed to public rights -of -way. A survey will be done next and then right- of-way acquisitions. No cost will be involved in this portion. J-2. council Bookey - No report. Svarner - Welcomed Mr. Peters as chair of the Library Commission. Moore - No report. Measles - No report. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUA_RY 3, 1996 PAGE 28 Bannock - a.

Thanked administration for the letter -writing campaigns and reports. He appreciated the work. b. Smalley suggested that if the commissions, committees and boards cannot maintain the code -required membership criteria, and grant requirements, council may need to re-evaluate the continuance of the boards, commissions and committees. C. Smalley referred to Information Item No. 2 (budget session schedule) and Games of Chance and Skill report at I-4. Smalley suggested council review the possibility of additional revenue enhancement for taxing Games of Chance and Skill. Williams - a.

Bookey added, the report should also include the cost to the city to collect the taxes. b. Councilwoman Swarner requested that a report on ambulance fee collection be prepared as well. Information included in the report should entail how the fee is affecting the overall department and whether or not the fee is worth the effort of collecting it. C. Williams reported that he had approximately ten letters sent to property owners in the vicinity of the Katmai Hotel in regard to the Conditional Use application for a halfway house to be heard at the Planning & Zoning Commission meeting. Williams explained the property owners he sent letters to were not included in the 300 foot radius notification required by code. d.

ITEM K: The meeting adjourned at approximately 10:20 p.m. Minutes transcribed and submitted by: Carol L. Freas, City Clerk TO: Mayor Williams and City Council THROUGH: Tom Manninen, City Manager ?? W FROM: Keith Komelis, Public Works Director(O DATE: January 12, 1996 SUBJECT: Timber Sales On City Lands FOR: Council meeting of January 17, 1996 - Discussion The city council asked the administration to look further into selling beetle killed or infested trees on city lands and to come back to the council with a plan. Below is a plan I developed which is in a draft form. I have made the requirements very restrictive to the contractor which will make the amount of money that the city will get much lower than if we were to allow them to bum on site and not remove the stumps. Please give me some input as to what is wanted. TIMBER SALES ON CITY LANDS 1. Complete the surveying of Section 36 (West of the Kenai Spur Highway) (Dena' ina Point Estates or Rocky Point Acres Subdivision) 2. Hire Handy Works to inventory the timber that is to be logged, the approximate location of the timber, and the approximate value of the timber. Handy Works will actually mark each dead and infected tree. Handy Works contract, including insurance, will be reviewed by the City Attorney and City Finance Director. At a meeting with EDD and the Boys and Girls Club we found out the following: Workman's Comp Insurance will be handled by EDD Liability Insurance will be handled by the Boys and Girls Club 3. Develop a bid specification to selectively harvest trees within the center section of city property mentioned in 1. above. The bid specifications would state the following: A. Only the dead and infested trees will be removed. B. The contractor is to remove the stumps or cut the trees at or below the ground level. C. The contractor is to remove all limbs, bark, tops, and any other above ground parts of the trees to a site not owned by the city. If the contractor is going to burn these items then the burn site must be outside the city limits. D. The contractor can do whatever they want with the removed trees. (chips, firewood, value added, etc.... ) E. The contractor is not to scar or mark up the ground while on city property. They are to performs the work when the ground is still frozen and has some snow cover. F. The contractor is to stay on city property and public right of way. G. The contractor will pay the city by the ton for the usable product. H. Road access into the area will be kept at a minimum and will be within the right of ways. I. The right of ways will be treated the same as the rest of the area except for the necessary road for access. It will not be clear cut. J. The contractor will be asked to fill out a contractors questionnaire as part of their bid. K. The contractor that is chosen will be the one that the city feels will be the best for the city.

Freas, City Clerk Introduced: January 17, 1996 Adopted: February 7, 1996 Effective: February 7, 1996 Approved By Finance: (1/11/96) jps MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Williams and City Council THROUGH: Tom Manninen, City Manager -7FA&' FROM: Keith Komelis, Public Works Director DATE: January 9, 1996 SUBJECT: STP Disinfection Modification FOR: Council meeting of 1/17/96 Vasey Engineering has completed the design work for converting the disinfection method at our Sewer Treatment Plant (STP) from gas to liquid using sodium hypochlorite and sodium bisulfite. The final cost estimate (which is attached) for equipment and contractor work totals $56,622. This is about $20,000 higher than we estimated. The reason it is higher is because we want to install an oxidation reduction potential, ORP, system. This system could pay for itself in less than one (1) year by properly monitoring and controlling the chemicals being added. Please see Vasey Engineering's attached letter dated January 4, 1996. Some funds can be transferred from our O&M budget in STP because we will no longer be using gas disinfection. I suggest we use a total construction cost of $60,000 and make the following transfers in the STP budget: From: R&M Supplies $ 3,000 R&M 9,000 Contingency 12,000 To: STP Modification Construction $24,000 With: An existing STP Modification Budget $36,000 Total Construction $60,000 Please keep in mind that our plant operators are going to act as the general contractor to order, set up, and install much of this equipment plus subcontract plumbing and electrical. Page 2 STP Disinfection Change Council meeting 1/17/96 This will not only be a great savings to the city, but we feel it will end up as a much better facility. I have asked Jay Sweeney to prepare a resolution transferring the above funds. KK/kw C:\HPDOCS\PROJECT\STP\TRANSFER.MEM CITY OF KENAI 5` DISINFECTION IMPROVEMENTS y Equipment List - 12129195.

ORIGINAL January 4, 1996 Mr. Keith Komelis Public Works Director City of Kenai 210 Fidalgo Kenai, Alaska 99611-7794 Re: Kenai Wastewater Treatment Plant Strantrol Model 900 ORP System Dear Mr. Komelis: 1478 4th street minden, nevada 89423 702-782-2382 fax 702-782-7051 1215 4th avenue, suite 1400 seattle, washington 98161 20"82-8264 fax 206-682-8491 As requested, I am writing this letter to explain the necessity of sole sourcing the Strantrol Model 900 ORP system. This system was selected for two reasons; 1) to provide a monitoring and control system that will precisely regulate the amount of chemicals (hypochlonte and bisulfite) used in the plants disinfection process and 2) to save on chemical usage costs as a result of the precision monitoring this system is capable of. Chemical savings using the Strantrol system over conventional residual control systems are significant In Port Angeles, Washington, the operators claimed that the Sirantrol units reduced consumption of their hypochlorite and bisulfite use by about 50 percent. These savings are significant considering chemical use for Kenai has been estimated at about S60,000 per year. It is necessary to explain some of the basic concepts of the ORP (oxidation reduction potential) system to understand why it is unique. While residual -based control of disinfection has been the standard method of chlorine control in wastewater treatment for years, the industry has become increasingly aware that water disinfection is better managed by measuring chlorine demand as well as free chlorine residual. Chorine in aqueous solution generates an electromotive force measurable in millivolts. The strength of this force is directly proportional to the oxidative strength of the chlorine (hypochlorite) solution. The higher the concentration of chlorine, the higher the voltage. Conversely, the higher the concentration of reductants. the lower the voltage. Therefore, the ORP of a chlorinated system at any given time is a measurement of the current chlorine demand of the system. Chlorine demand is primarily a function of residual, load, pH, flow and temperature. Residual testing determines or measures only one of these variables. Because ORP is basically the cumulative effect of all five. ORP can be used to precisely determine the required dosage to meet demand at all times. While there are other companies currently manufacturing ORP controllers, these other systems have significant limitations for wastewater chlorination / dechlorination processes and are typically used in other industrial processes. The main limitation of these other systems is that it is necessary to compensate for the time of these chemical reactions. This is accomplished through an algorithm input into a microprocessor within the Strantrol unit. No other systems currently on the market have this capability. There are also significant differences on the design of the monitoring probes that make the Strantrol system unique. A majority of the major cities in the State of Washington have sole -sourced the Strantrol system for their wastewater treatment plants. I hope this letter answers your questions. Please do not hesitate to call with any comments. Sincerely, VASEY ENGINEERING -tn -- Christopher A. Arts, P.E.

Please find attached in Enclosure 1 the final assessment roll for the Thompson Park Water And Sewer Improvement Special Assessment District. 2. For comparison, the initial estimated assessment roll supplied to the property owners is contained in Enclosure 2. The amounts on the final assessment roll are smaller than the estimated assessments because the final cost of the project, $1,811,000, was smaller than the original estimated cost of $2,700,000. 3 . A map of the special assessment district is contained in Enclosure 3. 4. As the Council wishes to examine the various amounts assessed to individual property owners' parcels, I have color -coded both the final assessment roll contained in Enclosure 1 and the map contained in Enclosure 3. Part of the focus of the Council discussion is to center on individual assessments which are greater than the general average assessment; so, to assist in this discussion, I have annotated all lots with an assessment greater than $5,000 in accordance with the following scheme: Pink - City owned lots Yellow - Privately owned lots with both a calculated and recommended special assessment in excess of $5,000 Blue - Privately owned lots with a calculated special assessment in excess of $5,000, but for which the recommended special assessment has been reduced to 25% of the fair market value of the improved lot (in accordance with KMC 16.05.101). 5. A large part of the discussion on the district will also undoubtedly center on the fairness of the method used to allocate costs to individual lots. The governing guidelines concerning allocation are contained in KMC 16.05.100 (enclosure 4). They state, in part, "... The methods of assessment.are described in general herein and will require decisions of policy by the Council to meet current needs... " and, "...Except as otherwise provided by la»,, ordinance, or by Council -approved policy for a particular local improvement district, costs will be allocated on a square footage basis... ". The Council, therefore, has latitude in establishing any rational assessment method as it deems suitable for a particular district. KMC 16.10.120 further states that, "After the public hearing, the Council may correct any error or inequality in the assessment roll". In my opinion, this means that the Council has the latitude to lower any individual assessments they see as unfair or inequal. Thus, the Council has some fair latitude in the scope of actions they may take in approving the assessment roll. 6. The City staff has discussed the possible allocation methods in which special assessments can be levied. As Council may also discuss the merits of these various methods at length, it is important to review each, along with its pros and cons. These methods are as follows: a. Assessment of the same amount. per parcel, In this method, the total cost of the improvements is divided by the number of affected lots, and each lot is assessed the same amount regardless of lot size. Pros: If each lot is similar in size and can not be subdivided any further, this is a fair method. This may also be a fair method if some type of improvement is provided which affects each lot equally. Cons: If a lot can eventually be subdivided further, each future property owner will get the same benefit from the improvements as the original property owners for only a portion of the cost. b. Assessment of a proportionate share of costs based on total square footage. In this method, the total cost of the improvements is divided by the total square footage of the affected lots, and an improvement amount is assessed to each square foot. Pros: If improvements affect property in proportion to the size of the property, this is a fair method. In addition, this method ensures that future property owners resulting from subdivisions pay their fair share for the benefits they receive from the improvements. Cons: If a property owner has a larger lot but receives the same basic benefit as a property owner with a small lot, and the owner of the larger lot does not subdivide, the larger lot owner pays a disproportionate share for the benefit he or she receives. c. Assessment of a proportionate share of costs based on total frontage footage. In this method, the total cost of the improvements is divided by the total frontage footage of the affected lots by which the improvement is passed, and an improvement amount is assessed to each square foot. Pros: If each lot is similar in size and relationship to the direction of the improvements, and can not be subdivided any further, this is a fair method Cons: If a lot can eventually be subdivided further, each future property owner will get the same benefit from the improvements as the original property owners for only a portion of the cost. If lots are of different sizes or frontages, or are located differently in relationship to the direction of the improvements, the resulting assessments will be disproportionate. 7. I have thought of an additional possibility for an assessment method which could provide a fairer allocation of costs. Under the method, each lot would be assessed the same amount, to reflect that each benefits equally from sewer and water service. If in the future, however, a lot were subdivided, the lot owners would be required to pay a sepcial charge or fee equal to original assessment; this charge would then be rebated back on a proportionate basis to the owners of the other lots. The pros of this idea are that it would provide a fair allocation of costs now and in the future. The cons of this idea are that it would require a lot of meticulous record keeping, would be difficult to administer, and would result in assessments quite different from those estimates which were originally provided to each property owner. I also do not know if there is any legal way to enact such a method, as I have been unable to have the City Attorney review the concept due to his annual leave. When he returns, I will ask him provide an opinion as to the legality and workability of such an idea and I will be prepared to speak on the matter at the January 17 City Council meeting. 8. Unless the idea of a unform assessment with future _charges to subdividers and subsequent rebates is found to be legal and feasible, I would recommend that the council approve the final assessment roll as currently filed with the City Clerk, subject to the correction of any errors.

The methods of assessment are described in general herein and will require decisions of policy by the Council to meet current needs. In general, the assessment rate for any special assessment district is computed by dividing the total assessable cost of such improvement by the total number of assessment units. The entire project is considered as a whole when computing the assessment rate and applying it to all properties. The cost of installing the improvement in front of or past any particular parcel of property is only one method permitted of assessment. Except as otherwise provided by law, ordinance, or by Council -approved policy for a particular local improvement district, costs will be allocated on a square footage basis extending one lot deep adjacent to improvements in subdivided areas, midway between streets up to 150 feet of depth in unsubdivided residential areas, and up to 300 feet of depth in unsubdivided commercial and industrial areas. Greater area may be included when assessing costs for interceptor sewers or water mains providing fire protection.

In reviewing the Thompson Park Water And Sewer Special Assessment District final assessment roll, which has been formally filed with the Clerk, staff members noticed an error with the final recommended special assessment to be assessed against the two lots owned by the City of Kenai. 2. The error stemmed from a spreadsheet mistake. In the error, the special assessments for the two lots based on the proportionate share of the actual costs of the project were properly calculated and listed on the assessment roll, but they were not carried properly into the last column which contains the final recommended special assessments. The proper final recommended special assessments for these two lots are as follows: Parcel Number 041-080-16 - $20,058 instead of $30,236 Parcel Number 041-080-18 - $4,842 instead of $7,298 3. This error has no impact on the recommended assessments for any other lots, as all other recommended assessments were correctly calculated and shown on the final assessment roll. The effect of the error will be completely restricted to City finances. It will reduce the annual appropriation required to make assessment payments on the two lots and, in turn, decrease the future recoupment of costs back into the Water and Sewer Special Revenue Fund. If uncorrected, however, the error could cause any future individuals who purchase the lots from the City to pay more in assessments than they possibly should. 4. KMC 16.10.120 provides guidance on how such errors are to be corrected. The Code say, "After the public hearing, the Council may correct any error or inequality in the assessment roll". Accordingly, I would ask that this error be corrected when the final assessment roll is approved on February 7.

Springer, Building Official DATE: January 12, 1996 SUBJECT: Kenai River Protection Area Ordinances In response to your memo dated 1/8196, the proposed ordinance should not drastically alter the issuance of a building permit. Historically construction of most buildings have taken place outside the proposed habitat protection area. The only locations that may lose access to their property, for construction purposes, would be along the bluff area. Due to the size of a project located on a smaller lot, some projects in this area may not be permitted or would need to be downsized to be allowed.

Manninen, City ManagerlvLk Through: Keith Kornelis, Public Works Director From: Jack La Shot, City Engineer `'�' RE: KENAI RIVER PROTECTION AREA ORDINANCE As requested, I've reviewed the newest draft ordinance proposed for the Kenai River. Briefly, my comments are as follows, by sections, of the ordinance: XX.XX.040 Habitat Protection Area Established This article needs more definition of the "mean high water line" in tidal areas. Should give an elevation and datum. The "60 degree or more cut bank" isn't clear (600 from what) and definitition of "cut bank" is vague. This definition could be very broad. XX.XX.070 Variance A & B The last sentence in each paragraph severely restricts the granting of a variance to allow activities in the Habitat Protection_ Area. It would be difficult, if not impossible, to consider even responsible development within the protection area. This poses the biggest problem in the port/industrial area of the city. XX.XX.070 Prior Existing Uses Again, this article would essentially eliminate responsible expansion, or possibly even maintenance and upgrades, within the harbor area. 01/12/96 Kenai River Protection Area Ordinance 2 XX.XX.080 Administration by Cities -Delegation -Legal Proceedings This article gives cities the power to administer and enforce the ordinance. This would appear to make sense as the city now administers land use, zoning, and building codes; however, we would also be assuming all liability (paragraph C). Unless the ordinance is fashioned to our liking to begin with, taking the liability for administration and enforcement may not be the best option for the city.

Box 25526 Juneau, AK 99802-55 6 RE: Dipnet Fishing in the City of Kenai As Mayor of the City of K: nai, I have been directed by the K; nai City Council to issue—hn the strongest terms possible --a protest against the proposal by members of the sport fishing community (particularly Phil Cutler, Ben Ellis, Sam McDowell and Dale Bondurant), as well as the proposal as outlined in the paper developed by Doug McBride, Regional Research Supervisor, Alaska Department of Fish and Game, and Steve Hammarstrom, Research Project Leader, Alaska Department of Fish and Game, entitled Assessment of Sockeve Salmon Rerurns to the Kenai River. You are no doubt well aware that the City of Kenai is engaged in a dispute with the K.-nai Peninsula Borough Assembly over a project termed the Kenai River Overlay District. The Borough's contention is that the Kenai Overlay District is an absolute nercssity required to protect the habitat of the Kenai River. Members of the Alaska State Paris Division continually point to the 309 Study as indicating that the Kenai River is suffering from overuse and that a tremendous amount of habitat degradation has already occurred and will continue to occur. The City of Kenai has other concerns with resard to habitat degradation that are direactly associated with the proposal being presented to you by the aforementioned authors. In this proposal before you, broad discussion is given to opening a new dip= fishery above the Soldoma bridge and expanding tremendously the dipnet fishery at the mouth of the Kenai River. It is the latter dipnet fishery which most concerns the City of Kenai. During the present dipnet fishery period as it has existed in the last year or two, Kenai has been inundated by visitors to the mouth of the Kenai River numbering in the hundreds, if not the thousands, all for the purpose of partaking in either a personal use fishery or dipnet fishery at that location. Their presence has lead to degradation of the sand dunes along the beach that are sorely needed to protect the bluff of the old townsite from erosion. The bluffs at the mouth of Board of Fisheries March 20, 1995 Page 2 the Kenai River are eroding so extensively that we have had to close Mission Street at the top eo of the bluff and have experienced so much erosion in that area that the possibility of losing some public utility lines is imminent. For the above reasons, we strongly object to any increase in the dipnet fishery or personal use fishery now allotted to the mouth of the Kenai River, The Board of Fisheries should also be aware of the fact that the City of Kenai holds patent to all of the lands seaward from the mean high water mark to a distanc% of three miles. We also hold patents to all of the real property beneath the Kenai River and the banks of the Kenai River within the city limits of Kenai to an extent covering some 2,100 acres. As owners and stewards of those lands, the City of Kenai is within its legal right to declare those lands off limits to all who should trespass. The City Council has discussed the possibility of creating an ordinance disallowing dipnet fishing from the banks of the K: zai River anyplace that property along the river is owned by the City of Kenai within the city limits, thus effectively eliminating any dipnet fishing from shore. All other properties are, to the best of my knowledge, in private hands, unless of course the State of Alaskz is willing to allow degradation of the banks of the Kenai River from its property that lies within the City of Kenai. With all of the concern about habitat degradation up and down the river, we are not only surprised but angered and appalled that not only members of the Alaska sport fishing community but members of the Alaska Depa-rtment of Fish and Game would even consider a move as ludicrous as expanding dipnet fishing at the mouth of the Kenai River. Once again on behalf of the City of Kenai, please accept this letter as our protest against such actions as described. Thank you in advanc: for attention to this matter.

IAGEVIENNT PLAN. Amend this regulation to provide the following: 02- -G The attached proposal is submitted to be fully published in the Alaska Board of Fisheries 1995 proposals as received. 5 AAC ? 1.360.(d) (1) The department shall locate an emergency weir in the Kenai River between the outlet of Skilak Lake and a new to be installed sonar counter upstream from the Soldotna bridge. The operation of the weir would be triggered when the other harvest alternatives would not accomplish the projected harvest needed to stay under the BEG cap. ('_) Tne prime purpose or the weir would be to attain a more positive control of the specifically seiected Biological Escapement Goal. while also considering the predetermined Optional Escapement Goal. (3) The disposition of the weir harvest would have two components: (a) Cost recovery would be used to fund the operation of the weir. Funds wou!d be coilected as a tee charged to the individual personal user recipient of the weir harvest. +b► The harvested ush would be made available to individuals '.pith personal use per ;its. T'le number of fish made available to the individual would be counted as a part of and net in ac,ciiren o :! bag l rrut of :he personal use dip net per its. i i.e. 25 fish rer head of household plus 114 additional family member.) (c) The weir would be operated by either the Depar—,ment or a non-prora organizat on. 4-iy proceeds. in excess of expenses. will be used for river habitat prctectien and enhance, —rent. and reauladon enforcement. Foot Note The weir harvest would achieve a positive use of what some have implied are ;wasted fish: theorizing that such are 'over -escapement" and are highly detrimental to maximum sustained yield of these valuabie Kenai River sockeye salmon stocks. By maintaining a reasonable level of consistency of the selected BEG it would provide for a more level data base. The resulting analysis of the return run strengths would have more credence than with the present highly fluctuating up and down cycle of escapement numbers. This would allow for the top escapement level needed to furnish the most successful opportunity to harvest their personal use needs for the public's own dinner table. As with .all in -river terminal harvest it will also remove some of the continual commercial fishing interception off of the mixed salmon stocks of Cook Inlet. By providing for the optimum terminal harvest of the strongest Cook Inlet sockeye salmon stock. there are more comprehensive options to plan management opportunities for reaching the optimum BEG and OEG for the lessor Cook Inlet stocks. Similar Situation Justification Recently, the Cook Inlet Regional Planning Team has approved the Cook Inlet Aquaculture Association's request to install "cost recovery' weirs in the three Cook Inlet are stl-eams to harvest sockeye salmon. 1) Bear Creek(Fish Creek -Seward area). But no sport hook and line fishing is allowed in any stream in the Resurrection Bay drainage. ?) Kasilof River (above Coal Creek) 3) Packers Creek (comment: no proper means for coho escapement.) PROBLEM: There is a continued theory of over escapement damaste to the Kenai River late run sockeye salmon stocks. Management policy geared to this hypothetical damage has raised what is probably one of the greatest sustained yield and user allocation problems in Alaska fisheries.

KENAI RIVER SOCKEYE SALMON MANAGEMENT PLAN. Amend this regulation to provide the following: 5 AAC 21.360 (d) This plan will provide for the management of in -river personal common use harvests nsisting of dip net and hook and line fisheries. (1) Personal Use Dip Net Fishery (A) Fishing periods: 24 hours per day - 7 days a week. (B) Bag limits: Participants in this fishery must obtain a personal use dip net permit: Seasonal limit of 25 sockeye salmon for the head of household, plus 10 additional sockeye for each family member (all incidentally caught salmon, except king salmon may be retained and will become a part of the dip net bag limit). Any fish harvested under the dip net permit will be counted as part of and not in addition to any subsistence seasonal limits. (C) Seasons: This fishery occurs during the period thru July 1 to August 15 (or sooner whenever there are two consecutive harvest days in which the coho catch ratio is equal to, or greater than, that of sockeye salmon). (D) Areas: The lower are open to dip net fishing from shore occurs from the mouth of Kenai River upriver to a marker placed below Cunningham Park. The lower area open to dip net fishing from boat occurs from the department marker one fourth mile above the mouth of the Kenai River to the marker below Cunningham Park. The upper river areas, which are open to dip net fishing from anchored boats only, occur from the Soldotna bridge upriver to the outlet of Skilak Lake. The department shall identify the open dip net fishing areas, with consideration of biological factors, timing and existing fisheries. (the estimated seasonal harvest for this dip net fishery is 200,000 fish.) These personal use dip net fisheries primary goal is to provide for the broadest access to the Kenai River late run sockeye salmon -resulting in better opportunities to allow for personal common use harvest. It also has two additional very important benefits: (1) By providing this more efficient personal use harvest method, when properly managed, dip net fishing from a boat will remove some of the hook and line fishing pressure that effects bank habitat. (2) By more fully meeting the desired harvest goals of the personal users by dip net fishing in the Kenai River fishery; it will transfer more harvest away from the commercial fishing interception of the Cook Inlet mired stocks. (3) Statistics since 1986 show that there is a direct correlation between the higher Cook Inlet commercial sockeye salmon harvest and the lower escapement levels for the Northern district mixed stock salmon fisheries. The interception of Cook Inlet mixed stock reflects the effects of a management policy driven primarily by the commercial harvest demand for major system stocks (i.e. Kenai River late run sockeye salmon). (4) This situation will only expand in time with the increasing commercial harvest demand. The plans to effect the future ratio of two hatchery salmon return, for each one of native stock; will increase the pressure for more mixed stock harvests. This will adversely effect the run strength and diversity of all systems races and species. 196 :;!tzsZ_ (5) The increased in -river Kenai River terminal harvest, there by cutting interception commercial harvest of mixed stocks, will increase escapement of Northern district stocks. This in turn will provide more.opportunity for expanded personal use harvest area, thereby relieving some overcrowding in other Cook Inlet fishery systems. PROBLEM: The Kenai River dip net fishery does not meet the constitution's "article VIII provisions were designed to ensure to the public the broadest possible access (Owsichek &:McDowell) WHAT WILL ILXPPEN IF NOTHING IS DOME? The right of "Common Use" of these fisheries for all of the people will continue to be violated with intent and by fact. WHO IS LIKELY TO BENEFIT? Those persons who believe in the right of full access to the public's owned fisheries by all peoples. WHO IS LIKELY TO SUFFER? Those who demand their exclusive right to maximum personal economic lain while disregarding the right of equality for all. OTHER SOLUTIONS CONSIDERED?

MANNINEN, CITY MANAGER l ff k THROUGH: KEITH KORNELIS, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR 4g SUBJECT: DRUG AND ALCOHOL REASONABLE SUSPICION TESTING DATE: JANUARY 11, 1996 Attached are: • Reasonable Suspicion Drug and Alcohol Testing policy requested by the City Manager. • Commercial Drivers Policy Drug and Alcohol Testing policy requested by the Public Works Director. Please note that the City Attorney was not able to review either policy prior to submission in the packet, and may require changes at or after the Council Meeting of January 17, 1996. CITY OF KENAI DRUG AND ALCOHOL - REASONABLE SUSPICION TESTING Policy Statement It is the policy of the City of Kenai to provide a drug and alcohol -free workplace. Substance abuse on City property will not be tolerated. Any employee who unlawfully manufactures, distributes, dispenses, possesses or uses a controlled substance in the workplace or during working hours is subject to disciplinary action up to and including dismissal. In order to help prevent accidents and injuries resulting from the misuse of alcohol or controlled substances, the City has adopted the following policies: 1. Alcohol use. Employees may not work or be present on City premises: • With a breath alcohol concentration greater than 0.02 • If in possession of alcohol with the intent to consume it. • If using alcohol. • Within eight hours after using alcohol. 2. Controlled Substances use (does not apply to substances used with the permission and under the supervision of a physician). Employees may not work or be present on City premises: • If using any controlled substance. • With any urine controlled substance concentration. • If in possession of a controlled substance with the intent to consume it. 3. An employee may be terminated when: • They refuse to submit to a drug or alcohol test. • At the discretion of the Supervisor and City Manager, they violate any portion of this policy. Applicable Positions This policy applies to all City Employees during working hours or at any time while on City premises, except when attending specifically or generally authorized social functions. Alcohol/Controlled Substance Testing If a Supervisor has reasonable suspicion that an employee's behavior or appearance may indicate alcohol or drug use, he/she will require that the employee be tested. Testing for reasonable suspicion must be based on specific, clearly stated observations concerning appearance, behavior, speech or body odor, as evaluated by a trained Supervisor. If an employee believes that another employee may be operating a commercial vehicle under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance, he must report it immediately to a Supervisor. For the purposes of this section, a "Supervisor" is considered a Foreman, other Supervisor, Department Head, Safety Coordinator, or the City Manager. The Supervisor will then inform the employee of the necessity of the test, give him/her a copy of the Alcohol and/or Controlled Substance Test Notification and Observable Behavior Reasonable Suspicion Record forms and escort the employee to the testing facility. The employee will not be allowed to operate any City vehicle or perform any safety -sensitive functions until negative test results are returned. The employee will be reassigned to non -sensitive functions while awaiting test results. WON Safety Sensitive Functions A safety -sensitive function is one which has the reasonable potential for causing serious harm to the individual or any other person or property, including other employees and the public, if due care is not exercised. Positive Alcohol Results A positive alcohol result is defined as greater than 0.02 breath alcohol content. Alcohol Results Above 0.02 If an employee has an alcohol level above 0.02 the employee cannot return to work until 24 hours have passed. Alcohol Results Above 0.04 In addition, if an employee has an alcohol level above 0.04, the employee cannot return to safety -sensitive functions until: • An evaluation is made by a certified alcohol dependency counselor. • All treatment recommended by the counselor is completed, including in or outpatient rehabilitation. • A return -to -duty test result is negative. During the next calendar year, the employee will be subject to a minimum of six random alcohol tests administered by the Safety Coordinator. If an employee has a positive test result during this time, they may be terminated unless the Supervisor can show extenuating circumstances, as determined by the City Manager. Positive Controlled Substance Tests If an employee tests positive for any controlled substances, he/she cannot return to work until: • An evaluation is made by a certified chemical dependency counselor. • All treatment recommended by the counselor is completed, including in or outpatient rehabilitation. • A return -to -duty controlled substances test is negative. During the next calendar year, the employee will be subject to a minimum of six random drug tests administered by the Safety Coordinator. If an employee has a positive test result during this time, he/she may be terminated unless the Supervisor can show extenuating circumstances, as determined by the City Manager. Violations of this policy It is the intent of the City to assist its employees with drug or alcohol problems. Therefore, a flexible approach may be necessary in handling violations of this policy. The measures taken in response to a particular violation will depend on a number of factors, including the nature of the violation, the risks to health and safety created by the violation, the employee's willingness to take steps toward rehabilitation, and the employee's length of service and employment record. All employees should be aware that any violation may result in termination of employment. Employees who violate this policy will be subject to discipline. Normally, a first offense will result in requirement that the employee successfully complete a course of rehabilitation if such a course is suggested by a certified chemical dependency counselor. An employee may be suspended during such rehabilitation depending on the facts of the case. During repeat testing, failure on the part of the employee to re -test or to pass a test will normally result in automatic dismissal. Annual Leave/Leave Without Pay The employee must first use annual leave time for any hours they would have been required to work while seeking evaluation, counseling, following recommendations of the counselor and waiting for return -to -duty test results. If the employee does not have leave time available, he/she may be placed on leave -without - pay status, subject to the approval of the Department Head and the City Manager. The employee handbook gives more information on leave -without -pay status. All other repercussions of leave without pay status will be enforced, including a maximum 180-day limit and extensions of anniversary dates. Alcohol and Controlled Substance Counseling The City of Kenai is committed to assisting employees who need to secure drug or alcohol counseling and rehabilitation. There are programs available in the community that offer these services. Employees may ask the City Finance Department for the names of these services. The City will not pay for evaluation, counseling or rehabilitation services, but the City health insurance policy may provide some benefits. Waiver of this Policy Under specific circumstances, a waiver of the policy may be necessary to perform essential job functions (e.g. undercover work by police officers). In such cases, a written waiver must be signed by the City Manager, the Police Chief, or one of their designees, prior to beginning the function. CITY OF KENAI COMMERCIAL DRIVERS - ALCOHOL AND CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE TESTING Purpose: The purpose of this policy is to comply with 49 CFR 382, Omnibus Transportation Employee Testing Act of 1991.

No employee without a Commercial Drivers License will be allowed to operate a Commercial Motor Vehicle at any time. 5. Employees may be terminated when: • They refuse to submit to a drug or alcohol test. • At the discretion of the Supervisor and the City Manager, they violate any portion of this policy. Applicable Hours Based on job description, employees in all covered positions must be ready to perform or be immediately available to perform safety -sensitive functions, so are subject to the City policy on drug and alcohol use as well as testing requirements any time they are on duty. This includes call -out time in the evenings or during weekends. If an employee has an unscheduled call -out, and they meet any of the criteria listed under items 1 and 2 of the policy statement, they must inform their Supervisor that they are unable to work at that particular time. No disciplinary action against the employee will be taken for failure to respond for this reason. Alcohol/Controlled Substance Testing Covered employees will be tested for alcohol and controlled substance use under the following circumstances: 1. Pre -employment Testing. A test for controlled substances will be done before a new hire can perform any safety -sensitive functions. The Department Head is responsible for making arrangements with the local laboratory, or may inform the Safety Coordinator in writing after hiring someone covered by this regulation, and the Safety Coordinator will make arrangements. CDL - Alcohol and Controlled Substance Testing a __ ? - Page 2 2. Post -accident Testing. After an accident where a life is lost or the City employee is cited for a moving violation, the driver must submit to an alcohol and controlled substance test. 3. Random Testing. At random times during the year, the Safety Coordinator will inform the Supervisor and employee that the employee has been selected for random testing. The employee will immediately stop work and report to the testing laboratory. After being informed that they must be tested, no allowances of any kind will be made to have the employee continue working, regardless of the circumstances. A minimum of 25 % of the affected employees will be tested for alcohol per year, and 50% for controlled substances . 4. Reasonable Suspicion Testing. If a Supervisor believes that a covered employees behavior or appearance may indicate alcohol or drug use, he/she may require you to be tested. Testing for reasonable suspicion must be based on specific, clearly stated observations concerning an employee's appearance, behavior, speech or body odor, as evaluated by a trained Supervisor. If an employee believes that another employee may be operating a commercial vehicle under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance, he/she must report it immediately to a Supervisor. For the purposes of this section, a "Supervisor" is considered a Foreman, other Supervisor, Department Head, Safety Coordinator, or the City Manager. 5. Return -to -duty Testing. If an employee has violated the requirements of the policy statement, the employee must test below 0.02 for alcohol and negative for controlled substances prior to returning to work using a commercial vehicle. During the next year back to work, the employee will be randomly tested a minimum of six times. Continuation of Work For all circumstances other than return -to -duty testing, the Supervisor will arrange for the employee to work on non -safety -sensitive functions while awaiting test results. What to do in the event of an accident In the event of an accident which results in a death or a moving violation for the employee, the employee must immediately inform his/her Supervisor. The Supervisor will come to the employee's location and escort him/her to the testing facility. A drug and alcohol test will be done. After an accident of this nature the employee cannot continue to operate the vehicle until he/she has tested negative for controlled substances and below 0.02 for alcohol. The employee may not continue to drive even to return the vehicle to the shop yard or other secure place. What to do in the event you are selected for testing The Safety Coordinator will inform Supervisors when an employee will need to be drug or alcohol tested and present the Supervisor with the Alcohol and/or Controlled Substance Test Notification Form. The Supervisor will then inform the employee of the test, give him/her a copy of the Alcohol and/or Controlled Substance Test Notification form and escort the employee to the testing facility. If the test is for alcohol, the employee will proceed to the designated testing laboratory with the Supervisor, fill out the Breath Alcohol Testing Form, and submit to the breath test. If the test is for controlled substances, the employee will proceed to a designated testing laboratory with the Supervisor and complete any paperwork required by the lab prior to submitting a urine sample. f3 CDL - Alcohol and Controlled Substance Testing ? t+� Page 3 DRarT When an employee is selected for any testing (random, post -accident or return -to -duty , alcohol or controlled substances) the employee must immediately proceed to the testing site with the Supervisor. The employee may not drive any City vehicle after being informed he/she is subject to testing, including returning the City vehicle to the Shop Yard or other secure place, until after he/she has submitted to the test. If results are negative for controlled substances and/or below 0.02 for alcohol, the employee may return to safety -sensitive functions immediately. Alcohol levels above 0.02 If an employee has a blood alcohol level above 0.02, the employee cannot return work until 24 hours have passed (dictated by City policy, not Federal Regulation). Alcohol levels above 0.04 In addition, if an employee has a blood alcohol level at or above 0.04, the employee cannot return to safety -sensitive functions until: • An evaluation is made by a certified alcohol dependency counselor. • All treatment recommended by the counselor is completed, including in or outpatient rehabilitation. • A return -to -duty test result shows breath alcohol concentrations of less than 0.02. Positive Controlled Substance Tests If an employee tests positive for any controlled substances, he/she cannot return to safety -sensitive functions until: • An evaluation is made by a certified chemical dependency counselor. • All treatment recommended by the counselor is completed, including in or outpatient rehabilitation. • A return -to -duty controlled substances test is negative.

Executive Summary. At the direction of the City Council during the FY96 budget sessions and in response to lingering employee concern over wage inequities, the City of Kenai formed a volunteer Job Classification Workgroup during the summer of 1995. This volunteer workgroup was given the responsibility to conduct a study of the structure and composition of the City's position classification/pay plan and to make recommendations on correcting any gross inequities. The workgroup was composed of volunteer City of Kenai employees from various Departments. The volunteer Job Classification Workgroup followed a methodical, standardized and proven procedure in conducting its review. This procedure consisted of: o Having all job descriptions revised into a standard format and submitted; o Requiring all employees to complete a Job Task and Responsibility Questionnaire; o Requiring all supervisors to review their employees' questionnaires and to complete and attach a supplemental Supervisor's Questionnaire; o Evaluating all job descriptions and questionnaires against standard grading criteria; o Interviewing representative employees from each unique position; and o Completing a final evaluation of each unique position. The volunteer Job Classification Workgroup completed its review and submitted its report to me on January 4, 1996 (see the enclosed memo). In the course of its review, the workgroup found several positions within the City of Kenai workforce which appear to be obviously under -compensated in light of their duties and responsibilities. These positions, and the recommended changes, include: o Range 3 Library Department Assistants (two employees) Recommendation: Raise To Range 7 and RetitleLibrary Department Assistant II If Deemed Necessary By The Library Director o Range 6 Parks and Recreation Assistant Recommendation: Raise To Range 10 o Range 9 Engineering Technician (Public Works) Recommendation: Raise To Raise To Range 12 In addition, other positions also appeared to be under compensated in light of their duties and responsibilities, but to a lesser extent. These positions, and the recommended changes, include: o Range 7 Animal Control Officer o Range 7 Senior Center Administrative Assistant o Range 8 Police Dispatcher/Clerks (seven employees) o Range 10 Building Maintenance Worker o Range 10 Chief Animal Control Officer o Range 11 Police Communication Supervisor Recommendation For All. Raise Each One Range Higher In the course of its review, the workgroup also observed some areas in which workforce management and human resource management could be improved within the City. More detailed descriptions of the workgroup's findings are contained in the memo located in enclosure 1. 2. Implementation Of Recommendations a. Pay Inequity Adjustments. The workgroup appears to have conducted a very thorough and professional review. I find that their recommendations have validity. As a result, I recommend that we take appropriate personnel actions to correct the identified "gross" inequities. These actions should consist of the following: o For the three unique positions designated as obviously under -compensated, we should take immediate action to reclassify the positions into the proper ranges and formalize their current job descriptions. We have two Library Department Assistants, however, and both may not need to be reclassified. To this extent, the Library Director will be required to evaluate both positions and determine whether both are to be required to perform the expanded duties. The potential budget impact of this recommendation is $12,400 for the remainder of FY96 and $24,800 annually thereafter (based on the current wage scale and assuming both Library positions are reclassified). o For the six positions under -compensated to a lesser extent, I recommend that we reclassify the positions during the FY97 budget process and make the reclassifications effective as of July 1, 1996. The potential budgetary impact of these reclassifications would be $25,100 (again, based on the current wage scale). b. Workforce Management. The workgroup's study has brought to light a possible weakness within the City's personnel policies concerning workforce management. There are broad guidelines concerning workforce management in KMC Title 23, Chapters 10 and 20; however, specific mechanisms are needed to change job descriptions and reevaluate positions. Additional implementing procedures are necessary to more clearly define within the Employee and Supervisor Handbooks the specific mechanisms to be used in workforce management. As the business operations of the City are dynamic and most certainly will continue to evolve over time, I feel that it is important to more specifically outline our workforce management procedures.. These procedures, at a minimum, should address the following areas: o How grades are assigned to a new position (i.e., will the classification scoring criteria be used?) o How the duties, and resulting grades, of existing authorized positions are changed, who has the authority to request that they be changed, how the positions are reevaluated, and how grades are changed; and o How temporary positions are to be authorized, approved, recruited, and compensated. A draft revision of KMC Title 23, Chapter 20, which incorporates these recommended changes, is contained in enclosure 2. c. Human Resources Function. The workgroup has further recommended that the size and complexity of the City's workforce is such that a separate professional Human Resources (HR) element has become necessary. The City's Finance Director and Attorney have both concurred in this recommendation, particularly from the standpoint of reducing the potential risk from employment practices liability. This recommendation must eventually be implemented. I do not see such implementation either as an immediate necessity or a top priority for FY97. The City Council has discussed this during the past two (2) budgets. I have not budgeted for the new position. The timing, however, may be right to establish a human resources position in the FY97 budget, at such a time as sufficient revenues are available and before other events cause us to take action. d. Ongoing Position Classification Function. An additional recommendation of the workgroup is that the City retain some sort of an ongoing position classification capability. The purpose of the capability would be to ensure that future questions concerning wage inequities and position mis-grading are dealt with under the same procedures and standards applied to this study. I agree that such an ongoing capability is necessary and wise. Unless I receive strong direction to the contrary, I will implement a standing Position Evaluation Committee to be composed of employees who either volunteer or are assigned the task as an additional duty. I will also formalize the duties of the Committee as part of the formal workforce management policy I have previously described.. 3. Merit Pay a. In my conversations with employees and Department Heads, it.has been brought to my attention several times that the City does not have a formal policy for granting cash awards for meritorious job performance. I believe that, if properly implemented, a merit pay / merit award system can prove to be a productivity booster and a morale improver. b. The total funding to be dedicated to such a program must be kept very lean so that only the most deserving employees receive rewards. In addition, I would envision that such a program would be centered at the Department level, with Department Heads having discretionary authority to recommend awards out of an annual departmental allotment, and that there would be several levels of approval and oversight required. As a total basis of funding, I would recommend that 1/2 of 1% (0.5%) of total payroll be dedicated to funding such a program. For FY96, the budget impact would have been $21,91 S. c. Unless I receive firm direction to the contrary, I will proceed with the development of a prototype program for Council consideration as part of the FY97 budget process. 4. Recognition Of The Volunteer Job Classification Workgroup The volunteer Job Classification Workgroup has done a superlative job and has achieved or surpassed each goal set forth for them. It must be noted that this workgroup consists entirely of employee volunteers who worked numerous hours in addition to their normal duties to complete the study, working late into the night on several occasions. The Job Classification Workgroup has gone above and beyond the level of performance expected of City employees, and I believe that special recognition of their efforts is in order. The members of the workgroup are: Police Department: Public Works/Sewer Treatment Plant (STP) Library: Parks & Recreation: Fire Department: LL Jeff Kohler Gerry Allen, STP Supervisor Linda McNair, Library Assistant Bob Frates, Administrative Assistant Scott Walden, Fire Marshall Again, unless I receive firm direction to the contrary, I will proceed to develop a recommendation for special recognition of the workgroup's accomplishments for consideration by the Council. It should be noted that adoption of a merit pay / merit award system, as recommended above, will provide a formal mechanism for accomplishing rewards such as these in the future. GNecpsuR,E I MEMORANDUM TO: Thomas J. Manninen, City Manager FRO.N1: Job Classification Workgroup: Gerry Allen Bob Frates Linda McNair Jeff Kohler Scott Walden DATE: January 4, 1996 SUBJECT: POSITION CLASSIFICATION STUDY Per your request, the Job Classification Workgroup has completed a study of the City's position classification plan. The purpose of the study was to identify obvious inequities in the plan. The following is a step-by-step outline of the process used by the workgroup: • Department heads reviewed and revised all job descriptions, then submitted them to the City Manager in the ADA format. The City Attorney then reviewed them. • Every employee completed a "Job Task and Responsibility" questionnaire which gave them an opportunity to document what they do on the job and how they accomplish job related tasks. These were submitted to their supervisor who reviewed it and attached a "Supervisor's Questionnaire". The supervisor's questionnaire confirmed the completeness and accuracy of the employee questionnaire. • In situations where a position had more than one worker, the employee questionnaire was condensed to a single document representing the responses of all employees in that position. This was done to assure individual employee input without overwhelming the Workgroup with redundant documentation. For example, eleven police officers prepared individual questionnaires which were then condensed by one officer onto a single form. • Each department provided an organizational chart which included each employee's name, position and pay range. • The Workgroup established a central file for all documents, organized the information by pay range and attached job descriptions to associated questionnaires. A total of seventy-six positions were identified. • Beginning with the lowest pay range and working up, each member of the Workgroup reviewed the entire file. Using evaluation standards provided by the City Manager's office, preliminary scores were established for the job description, then for the employee questionnaire. The Workgroup conducted an interview with a representative from each position. Some positions were represented by more than one employee. All Workgroup members participated in the interviews. Under ideal circumstances. interviews would have been conducted in the order of lowest pay range to the highest. This was not possible due to scheduling changes for employees due to vacations and illness. At the beginning of each interview, employees were given a briefing about the purpose of the study and how the study was being conducted. Each employee was given an opportunity to ask questions of the Workgroup regarding the process. If a single employee was interviewed as a representative of a group in a position, the need to represent all employees in that group was stressed. • Each member of the Workgroup had an opportunity to ask questions during the interviews. The questions focused on two general areas: discrepancies between the job description and the employee questionnaire; and clarifying actual duties to more accurately apply the evaluation standards. It should be noted that several employees elected not to be interviewed unless the Workgroup required more information than was contained in the written documentation. • Immediately following each interview a final rating or score of the position was determined. These final scores were made by consensus of all five members of the Workgroup. Each evaluation category was reviewed, discussed and compared to the evaluation standards before assigning a score. • Workgroup members abstained from rating their own positions, but did answer questions from the rest of the Workgroup. The Workgroup goals, as set by the City Administration, have been met as follows: 1. Data has been gathered and organized into a usable format. 2. Using specific and consistent evaluation standards, obvious inequities in the pay range classification plan have been identified. 3. Recommendations for reducing such inequities have been developed. 4. Suggestions for revising the evaluation process for future use have been developed. We thank you for the opportunity to serve on this workgroup and hope the results derived from it provide the information you were looking for. EXPLANATION OF NUMERICAL RANGE COMPARISONS & GRAPHS NOTE: The bars in each graph are meant to compare positions in the same range. When grouped with other ranges they are meant to show the progression from one range to another. FOR EXAMPLE: A Range 3 bar equaling a Range 15 bar does not imply that the Ranee 3 should be moved to a Ranee 15, but that the Range 3 has considerably more responsibility than other positions within Range 3. RANGE COMPARISON /ALL! SECTION 2 This is a numerical comparison of all pay ranges. There is a total possible weighted score of 2,000. It was developed by evaluating the following categories as they relate to the requirements of a specific position. A complete copy of the evaluation standard is attached in Section 10, which explains each category in detail: Education: (EDU) Experience: (ENP) Freedom of Action: (FOA) Problem Solving: (PRO) Accountability: (ACC) Contacts: (CON) Responsibility Type: (RES/T) Responsibility Numbers: (RES/#) Environment: (ENV) Technical Knowledge: (TECH) Total: (TOT) POSITION A VERAGES RED = Minimum of 200 points above average for range YELLOW = Positions neariney the break over point SECTION 3 This graph demonstrates the average scores from the lowest overall range position (Range 3) to the highest range position (Range 24). The RED bars denote the only notable upturns in the graduation of the graph in three specific positions on the low end, indicating that there is a greater demand in several of the evaluation categories. resulting in at least 200 points above average for those positions and ranges. The positions and range are: Range 3: Library Dept. Assistant Range 6 : Parks/Rec. Admin. Assistant Range 9 : Engineering Technician (Public Works) The YELLOW bars denote specific positions which recieved scores well above average for their ranges, indicating a greater demand in some evaluation categories. These positions are likely to fall into the "Notable Inequity" range in the near future: Range 7: Animal Control Officer Senior Center Administrative Assistant Range 8: Police Dispatcher/Clerk Range 10: Building Maintenance Chief Animal Control Officer Range 11: Police Communication Supervisor PART TIME RANGE COMPARISON (Chart & graph) SECTION 4 This set of a chart and graph demonstrate the gradual increased scores from the lowest Part Time Range position (Range PT-1) to the highest range position (Range PT-9). Note that there are no notable upturns or downturns in the graduation of the graph. COMPARISON OF RANGES 3 THROUGH 12 AND 13 THROUGH 24 Graphs) SECTION 5 These graphs demonstrate the gradual increased score for every position in every range (Ranges 3 through 24). INDIVIDUAL RANGE COMPARISONS (charts & graphs) SECTION 6 These charts and graphs demonstrate individual range and position scores. Each chart lists evaluation categories, average and maximum evaluation scores for that range, each position's score in each evaluation category, and a total score for that position. Each graph shows a comparison of those positions in that range only, with the exception of Ranges 18 through 24 which have been grouped with their range averages. NOTE: Range 6 and Range 19 contain only one positron. PAY RANGE PLAN INEQUITIES IDENTIFIED and RECOMMENDATIONS FOR REDUCING THEM Overall, the City Pay Range Plan appears to be fair and evenly applied. After reviewing over 100 questionnaires and interviewing over 75 employees it became obvious that the majority of City employees are content with their positions as there were very few who were critical of the system. However, there remain areas which should be considered for amendment using the options of pay range reclassification or shifting of responsibility. NOTABLE INEQUITIES: Three positions fell into the category of "notable inequities" due to demands within each position which drastically increased their evaluation scores (a minimum of 200 points above average for their range). An increase of at least 200 points above average is the result of increased responsibility in three or more evaluation categories which include education, experience, problem solving, accountability, freedom of action and responsibility for others: Range 3: Library Dept. Assistant Range 6: Parks/Rec. Admin. Assistant Range 9: Engineering Technician (Public Works) RECOMMENDATIONS Range 3 - Library Department Assistant: While Range 3 may be an appropriate entry level pay range for this position, an additional level should be considered within this position. For example: Range 3 - Library Dept. Assistant I: Entry level, learning the systems and basic operations of the Library. Range 7 - Library Dept. Assistant II: Training other employees, data entry, assist Library Director, participates in budgeting, program planning, increased technical knowledge; a non -supervisory employee who acts on behalf of supervisor in his/her absence. Range 6 - Parks/Rec. Administrative Assistant: This position is alone in this pay range. The responsibilities are more closely related to those of an assistant director than an administrative assistant. These include acting on behalf of the Director in his absence, writing employee performance evaluations, attendance at Council and committee meetings, supervising 6 to 10 employees, setting up operational procedures, dealing with customer and employee related problems and training employees. Considering all of these factors it is recommended that consideration be given to moving this position from Range 6 to Range 10. Secretaries and office administrative assistants are other positions in Range 9. Consideration should be given to moving the Engineering Technician position from a Ranee 9 to a Range 12 or 13. If this position becomes a separate department under Public Works, such as Safety Department or something similar, it would demand greater independence and should be considered for an increase to a range beyond Range 12 or 13. CONSIDERATIONS FOR OTHER POSITIONS Other positions did not drastically exceed the average for their range but should be addressed by range reclassification or the addition of part time help to accommodate increased responsibilities. As the duties of these positions continue to grow, they will most likely fall into the `Notable Inequity" range in the near future: Range 7: Animal Control Officer Reclassification or addition of part time kennel worker. Sr. Center Administrative Assistant Reclassification or addition of part time clerical. Range S: Police Dispatcher/Clerk Reclassification or addition of part time clerical staff Range 10: Building Maintenance Reclassification or addition of helper or part time helper. Chief Animal Control Officer Reclassification or addition of part time kennel worker. Range 11: Police Communication Supervisor/Evidence Tech/Admin. Asst. Reclassification or establish a senior or supervising dispatch position to work under Comm. Supervisor in dispatch center. One position should have its title changed to more accurately reflect the responsibilities of the position: Range 12: Shop Mechanic's Helper Title should be changed to "Light Duty Equipment Mechanic". Downturns noted in some ranges were considered insignificant as they were generally the result of a single category which dropped them below average. The major causes of downturns were as follows: • As a rule, if duties did not include supervision of other employees that position received a zero in two categories resulting in a below average score even though they met or exceeded the criteria in more important categories for their range such as accountability and problem solving. The majority of those positions showing a downturn were in ranges with positions noted as above average. Most ranges have few positions in them. This resulted in higher averages and created a graph showing downturns for some positions. • As a rank structure grows in a department, the lower ranks have less responsibility, even though they perform similar duties. This also resulted in lower scores in some ranges. • No discrepancies were noted in the Part Time ranges. SUGGESTED AMENDMENTS TO CITY PERSONNEL SYSTEM • Establish a standard format for job descriptions. Reduce or eliminate vague statements for education and experience requirements. • Adopt general evaluation standards to guide the administration when assigning a position to a pay range. • Establish an ongoing process for creating, reviewing and modifying job descriptions. Job descriptions should be reviewed on a regular basis and compared with evaluation standards for each pay range. Such periodic audits would show when a position is "growing out of its pay range". • With over one hundred employees, the City should consider establishing a Human Resources or Personnel Department to manage personnel files, establish consistent job descriptions, streamline the hiring process and to perform evaluations of positions (as this study did) on a regular cycle. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FUTURE CLASSIFICATION STUDIES • Before beginning the evaluation process, the worm group should closely review the evaluation standards to determine if any modifications are needed to fit the organization being evaluated. This will make them easier to apply. • The work group should discuss each evaluation category in detail to assure that all categories are being interpreted and applied in a consistent manner. The work group should review the employee and supervisor questionnaires and formulate interview questions to elicit responses to resolve conflicting or missing information about a position. Questions should elicit answers which will help the work group dii%rentiate between evaluation standards scores in a category (ranked 1 through 5). The work group should meet with each department to explain to employees and supervisors how to complete the questionnaires. This would bring more consistency to the documentation process. AN documentation submitted to the work group should be typed. Supervisors need to be active and critical when completing the review of their employee's questionnaires to verify accuracy. DG31�17 23.20.010 ,lob Classification Plan a. All of the positions within the classified service of the City of Kenai shall be organized under a job classification plan. Each position in the classified service will be analyzed and evaluated against standard grading criteria and will be assigned a job grade or class based on the results of such evaluation. The standard grading criteria shall be established in such a way as to reasonably ensure that positions with similar levels of responsibility, technical scope, educational requirements, and experience requirements are assigned to the same job class. b. The City Manager shall be responsible for recommending a job classification plan, or changes to the current job classification plan, to the City Council. The City Council shall adopt a classification plan by ordinance. The City Manager shall also be responsible for developing internal procedures for administering an approved classification plan. c. All of the approved positions within the classified service of the City of Kenai shall be published in a Personnel Staffing Table. 23.20.020 ,lob Descriptions a. Each position within the classified service of the City of Kenai shall have an approved job description. A position's job description will at all times accurately reflect the current duties which the incumbent in the position is required to perform. Job descriptions will be used as the primary basis for evaluating positions against standard grading criteria and for assigning job grades to positions. b. The City Manager shall develop administrative procedures to ensure that job descriptions are prepared for all positions in a uniform fashion and reflect the current duties required of the position. 23.20.030 Establishing New Positions a. The City Manager may, at any time, recommend the establishment of a new classified service position to the City Council. Normally, the City Manager will recommend the addition of new positions to the job classification plan as part of the annual budget cycle. b. New positions may only be established by the City Council. If a new position is approved, a revised Personnel Staffing Table will be prepared to reflect the new positions. c. If the establishment of a new permanent position is approved by the City Council, the City Manager will introduce a budget ordinance to appropriate funds to pay for the wages and benefits of the new position, unless such approval is part of the annual budget cycle. In that case, the increased costs will be contained in the new fiscal year's budget. d. If a new position is approved by the City Council, the position will have a job description prepared for it by the Department Head responsible for supervision. The position's job description will then be evaluated under the current job classification plan and a grade will be assigned to it. 23.20.040 Changes To Assigned Duties, Job Grades, And Job Descriptions a. Changes To Assigned Duties And Job Descriptions (1) If a Department Head seeks to change the assigned duties of a classified service position, and the changes will be both significant in scope and permanent in nature, the Department Head shall forward a request to do so along with a proposed job description reflecting the new duties to the City Manager. (2) The position's proposed job description will then be evaluated under the current job classification plan. If the evaluation results in a job grade at the same level as the one currently assigned to the position, the City Manager may approve the new job description without further action. If the evaluation results in a job grade higher than the one currently assigned to it, the City Manager may recommend approval of the grade change to the City Council. (3) If the grade change is approved by the City Council, the City manager shall introduce a budget ordinance to appropriate funds to pay for the wages and benefits of the new position and shall update the current Personnel Staffing Table. If the grade change is not approved by the City Council, the proposed changes to the assigned duties of the position may not be changed. b. Changes To Job Grades Requested By Department Heads (1) If a Department Head seeks reevaluation of a job grade assigned to a position, the Department Head will prepare a written request outlining why the current grade is inappropriate and will forward it to the City Manager. (2) If the City Manager approves the request, the position's current job description will be then be evaluated under the current job classification plan. If the evaluation results in a job grade higher than the one currently assigned to it, the City Manager may recommend approval of the grade change to the City Council. (3) If the grade change is approved by the City Council, the City manager shall introduce a budget ordinance to appropriate funds to pay for the wages and benefits of the new position and shall update the current Personnel Staffing Table. If the grade change is not approved by the City Council, the current job description of the position must be rewritten to reduce the scope of the duties assigned to the position, and the position reevaluated, until the existing job grade accurately reflects the duties of the position. c. Changes To Job Grades Requested By Employees (1) If an employee seeks reevaluation of a job grade assigned to a position, the employee will prepare a written request outlining why the current grade is inappropriate and will forward- it to his or her Department Head. Department Heads will make a recommendation on the request and will forward the request to the City Manager. (2) If the request involves the performance of duties not currently contained in the employee's job description and the Department Head recommends approval of the employee's request, the request must be accompanied by a revised job description containing the new duties. (3) If the City Manager approves the employee's request and the employee's Department Head does not recommend approval, the Department Head shall be required to prepare a new job description accurately reflecting the employee's current duties. (4) The new job description for the employee's position will be then be evaluated under the current job classification plan. If the evaluation results in a job grade higher than the one currently assigned to it, the City Manager may recommend approval of the grade change to the City Council. (5) If the grade change is approved by the City Council, the City Manager shall introduce a budget ordinance to appropriate funds to pay for the wages and benefits of the new position and shall update the current Personnel Staffing Table. If the grade change is not approved by the City Council, the current job description of the position must be rewritten to reduce the scope of the duties assigned to the position, and the position reevaluated, until the existing job grade accurately reflects the duties of the position. 23.20.050 Position Grading: The Department responsible for administering the human resources function for the City of Kenai shall also be responsible for evaluating, or reevaluating, all positions under the current job classification plan. The City manager may instead assign this responsibility to other individuals, committees of other individuals, or outside consultants as deemed necessary. 23.20.060 Temporary Positions a. A Department Head may recommend the hiring of an employee on a temporary basis at any time subject to the availability of budgeted funds. Such recommended hiring actions will contain a recommended hourly wage or salary and must be approved by -the City Manager. b. Temporary employees will not be eligible to receive employment benefits of any type, to include cost of living (COLA) increases. Temporary positions will not be considered to be part of the classified service of the city. c. Temporary employees may be hired under either one of the following categories: (1) For a definite period of time not to extend past six months. In such cases, temporary employees may work up to 40 hours per week and may be assigned a regular working schedule with set hours. (2) For an indefinite time period on an intermittent, on -call basis. In such cases, temporary employees may not work more than 19 hours per week and may not be assigned a regular work schedule with set hours. They must be called and brought into work each separate d y in which their services are needed. d. Temporary employees will be required, prior to starting work, to sign an employment agreement acknowledging that the terms of their employment do not include benefits and, also, one of the following: (1) For employees hired for a definite time period, an acknowledgment that their work will definitely end at the expiration of the time period. (2) For employees hired for an indefinite period of time on an intermittent, on -call basis, that they may not be assigned regular work schedule with set hours. e. Violation of these rules by the City will not cause a temporary employee to become a permanent employee or otherwise become eligible for employment benefits. f. If terms of a temporary employment agreement are not being followed, the Department Head supervising the employee and the City Manager will be informed of the problem so that corrective action can be taken.

C:\WPD0CS\TJM\P0L[C[ES.MEM 3 CITY OF KEN. �� 5 Od CafdW 4 210 FIDALGO AVE., SUITE 200 KENAI, ALASKA 99611-7794 TELEPHONE 907-283-7535 FAX 907-283-3014 1IIII1 1992 MEMORANDUM DATE: January 8, 1996 TO: Mayor and City Council Members, City Of Kenai FROM: Jay Sweeney, Finance Director(, SUBJECT: Vehicle Fleet Financial Management / Central Garage Internal Service Fund 1. In the past, the City of Kenai has provided resources for vehicle fleet operations in a number of ways. These include: a. The General Fund has a designation of fund balance for equipment replacement. As needed, the Council appropriates portions of this designated fund balance in order to fund new vehicle purchases. On an annual basis, the Council also transfers resources into this designated fund balance in order to provide for future vehicle replacements. When a new vehicle is required, the Department requiring the vehicle budgets for it under the machinery/equipment account within the Department's own budget. b. Ongoing operations of the central garage/shop are routinely budgeted for in the General Fund under Department 32, Shop. All vehicle fleet expenses, to include fuel, lubricants, and parts, are budgeted and accounted for under this Department. c. The Sewer and Water and Airport Land System Funds help to defray some of the cost of the shop operating expenses. These funds accomplish this through an inter - fund equity transfer. Such transfers are budgeted for as an outlay to the special revenue funds and as a revenue to the General Fund. The allocation basis methodology used to determine the amount of the transfers has been to take fund repair and maintenance account expenditures over the previous three years as a percentage of aggregate total repair and maintenance account expenditures across all funds. This percentage is then applied to the projected Shop Department budget to determine the amounts of the transfers. 2. The current budgeting, accounting, and financial management procedures used for vehicle fleet operations, while in conformance with generally accepted accounting principals have some possible shortcomings. These shortcomings are as follows: a. The designated fund balance for equipment replacement does not correlate to estimated future outlays for vehicle replacement. The designated fund balance is appropriated when needed and the amount of resources transferred into the designated balance is arbitrary. The shortcoming with such a procedure is that, unless the designated balance is always maintained at a level which corresponds to the present value of estimated future vehicle outlays, there is a possibility that the balance will be completely depleted in a year when excessive vehicle replacements are needed. b. Interfund transfers for vehicle operation expenses do not reflect actual costs. We have used repair and maintenance account expenses as the allocation basis for assigning Shop Department expenses back to our special revenue funds. Using this basis, however, assumes that the total cost of repairing and maintaining special revenue fund vehicles by the Shop is proportional to a departments repair and maintenance account expenses. Repair and maintenance account expenses include costs of repairing and maintaining anZhing (photocopiers, computers, etc) and do not include the costs of repair and maintenance supplies, as these are budgeted for in another account. While there is a possibility that these allocations of costs fairly reflect the true costs, it is much more likely that the true costs differ significantly. c. Vehicle operations costs are not assigned on an intra-departmental basis within the General Fund The costs of operating and maintaining all General Fund vehicles is accounted for under the Shop Department. As a result, any reader or user of our financial information will not get a true idea of the full and actual cost of providing a service. For example, unless we include the costs of maintaining and operating fire vehicles under the Fire Department, we can not give anyone a true picture of what it costs to operate our Fire Department and whether or not that is in line with benchmark costs for operating similar fire departments. 3. There are several organizational and procedural changes the City of Kenai can make in order to correct these shortcomings. The changes, if implemented, will provide for better financial management of vehicle replacements and, also, will provide more accurate assessments of the costs of providing services. These possible changes are as follows: a. Implement a Central Garage Internal Service Fund. Under this concept, all of the vehicular and shop assets of all funds would be transferred to a new internal service fund. This fund would budget and account for all vehicle -related expenditures. The revenues of the fund would consist of vehicle charges to other departments and funds. The advantage here is that all vehicle expenditures would be captured under one organizational entity. b. Implement charge back cost accounting to all Departments using vehicles. Under this concept, any department using a vehicle would pay a monthly charge to the Central Garage Internal Service Fund. The monthly charge would have a variable and a fixed component. The variable component would consist of all of the actual direct outlays of the Central Garage Fund to maintain and operate the vehicle during the month (i.e., fuel, lubricants, parts, direct mechanic time, etc.). The fixed component would be a pro rata share of the indirect costs of the Central Garage. There are several advantages to this concept. The first would be that the allocation basis for costs back to other departments would be fairer and more defendable as it more accurately resembles true costs. The second advantage would be that the true costs of providing services to the public are more accurately recorded and reported. c. Implement a monthly sinking fund charge to all departments using vehicles. The concept here is that money is set aside into a designated fund balance every month in an appropriate amount, calculated so that when the set aside funds earn interest over the years, enough money is available at the future date a vehicle is replaced to pay for the new vehicle's costs. Calculating such a sinking fund charge is not difficult. To do so, one must inflate the current replacement cost of a vehicle forward to the replacement year to get a future dollar replacement cost, then discount that future dollar replacement cost back to present dollars to reflect the interest that would be earned on the sinking fund payments over time. As an example, assume that we have just purchased a new pickup truck for $20,000. We estimate that we will have to replace the vehicle in 5 years, we will get $500 in salvage value for it, that the inflation rate over the next 5 years will be 3%, and that we will earn 5% on our investments over the same period. The future cost of replacing the vehicle would be $22,685 less the $500 salvage value, or $22,185. Assuming 5% return on investments, we would have to set aside $326.22 per month to provide the required amount of money in year 5. 4. The recommended changes suggested above are, however, not without cost themselves. This cost would be in the form of additional sinking fund charges not being paid now and, also, in additional administrative costs for accomplishing the more detailed accounting and record keeping. a. Additional sinking fund charges. As our designated fund balance for vehicle and equipment replacement is just $280,471.25, there is a strong chance that it is significantly underfunded. If this is so, then it is also probable that the annual amount returned to the designated fund balance is less than would be required if we calculated sinking fund charges for all vehicles. There would be an extra, permanent transfer to designated fund balance needed, therefore, to ensure that required resources for vehicle replacement are set aside, and this would have a significant budgetary impact. b. Additional administrative expenses. To implement the changes, the City of Kenai would have to implement a greater vehicle cost accounting capability than it currently has. The accuracy of cost accounting data is directly related to the degree and care with which cost data is captured and recorded; to greater the effort, the more detailed the cost data. To increase our cost accounting capability, we will have to implement additional detailed record keeping procedures in the Shop Department and accounting procedures in the Finance Department. Within the Shop Department, vehicle repair and maintenance would be performed on a job order basis, with all time and materials devoted to any vehicle recorded on job orders. These job orders would then be forwarded to Finance, whereby they would be charged back to the department using the vehicle. 5. I recommend that the Council consider the benefits the changes will bring about versus the costs of providing them, and, if they see benefit, have the Staff do a detailed costibenefit analysis of the idea. I personally believe that the benefits outweigh the costs and the idea has merit. Other municipalities have implemented such procedures and feel that they provide more accountability to the citizens.

DATE: January 11, 1996 SUBJECT: Hotel/Motel Room Tax On January 1, 1993, the City of Kenai adopted the Hotel/Motel Room Tax. This 5% tax is applicable to all transient hotel/motel (including bed and breakfast) room rentals. Currently there are 23 registered businesses that are paying the hotel/motel room tax. Three more have expressed interest in opening a bed and breakfast in the City limits to begin operation in the summer of 1996. Since inception, $275,890 has been collected. The following is a breakdown of the room tax collected for each quarterly filing: First Quarter, 1993 $ 8,135 Second Quarter, 1993 28,953 Third Quarter, 1993 34,443 Fourth Quarter, 1993 15,672 First Quarter, 1994 29,373 Second Quarter, 1994 32,849 Third Quarter, 1994 34,186 Fourth Quarter, 1994 12,738 First Quarter, 1995 10,051 Second Quarter, 1995 24,472 Third Quarter, 1995 45,018 Currently, there are three delinquent accounts which owe a total of approximately $10,300.00. One other account declared bankruptcy and $4,224 was written off as uncollectible. It is estimated that it takes approximately 12 hours per month for the Finance Department and Legal Department to administer and collect the hotel/motel room tax.

Enclosure 1 contains a memorandum by Accountant Robin Feltman outlining the history and financial aspects to date of our ambulance billing initiative. 2. Enclosure 2 contains a memorandum from Fire Chief Dave Burnett providing ambulance run volume statistics since July, 1994. 3. At first glance, the data seems to indicate that we are experiencing difficulty in collecting charges for ambulance services. A deeper analysis, however, sheds a different light. Accounts receivable currently equal 57.5% of total billings. Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance companies, however, take from two to four months to pay, and the program has been going on for only 8 months now. As most payments come from either Medicare, Medicaid, or private insurance companies, we would only now have received income from May through September bills and it is not unreasonable that we have accounts receivable equal to 57.5% of billings. In short, I feel that there is a significant "start up" curve to this revenue source which must be overcome before a steady revenue stream occurs, and I feel that we have just finished climbing the curve and are entering into a period of steadier and more predictable revenues. 4. What we need to watch and see is whether or not the total dollar amount of ambulance accounts receivable remains steady. If future ambulance calls occur at roughly the same rate as prior calls, I would speculate that the level of ambulance accounts receivable will remain steady at about $60,000 while total revenue billed and payments received rise. 5. The manpower required to implement this billing does not seem excessive at the moment. Medicare and Medicaid billings are contracted out and the Finance Department does not bill insurance companies, only individual patients. One way to speed up collections would be to hire a contractor to bill private insurance companies for patients as well, much the same as a doctor's office does. This would insure that private insurance companies are billed immediately, instead of at the leisure of the patient: Such a contract would increase the expenses of the program, however, and should be examined in more detail before implementation. 6. My recommendation to Council is that we wait another four months and examine a full years worth of data. If ambulance accounts receivable remain steady at about $60,000, I would recommend that we keep the program in place and adjust our revenue estimates to match our historical data. If ambulance accounts receivable keep growing unchecked, however, I would recommend that we keep the program but look hard into employing an outside billing and collection function for all accounts, not just Medicare and Medicaid. At this time, I would not recommend that we cancel the program as even the collected amount of $33,339 is significant and is far in excess of the cost of administering the program.

Feltman, Accountant DATE: January 4, 1996 SUBJECT: Ambulance Billings In May, 1995, the City of Kenai began billing for ambulance services. Since that time, we have billed $99,080 for ambulance service. To date we have received $33,339 and have written off $8,740. Of those accounts written off, $1,128 was due to uncollectible accounts, the remaining was for charges that Medicare and Medicaid deemed not reasonable. Our agreement with Medicare and Medicaid states that we will accept their amount as reasonable for the service. We can not bill the patient for the difference. The ambulance accounts receivable is $57,000. We have not been turning accounts over to the legal department until we have exhausted all our means for collection. After 60 days, we send out a delinquent notice. Then, if there has been no response or effort shown to pay the account, it is sent to the legal department. Generally, it takes the insurance companies 60 days to pay. Even though we do not bill private insurance companies, we have been allowing time for the patient to file. Medicare and Medicaid can take up to four or five months before sending us payment or a final claim determination. Our Medicare and Medicaid claims are filed electronically on a weekly basis by Cornerstone Accounting in Anchorage. MEMORANDUM Date: January 10, 1996 To: Jay Sweeney, Finance Director From: avid C.

The city is disappointed that the Kenai Spur Road: MP 0-2.8 project priority was lowered from last year's number 1 to a number 3 project. We were also disappointed that the Kenai Beach Road was not listed as a priority number 1 on the CTP list. (It was listed as a number 3.) If it would be a higher priority and could be completed sooner, the city would request the Kenai Beach Road be considered a TRAAK Project. The council of the City of Kenai has passed the attached resolutions in support of these projects: 1. Resolution No. 95-80 Kenai Spur Road: MP 0-2.8 2. Resolution No. 96-3 Kenai Beach Road 3.

None of these projects are in the City of Kenai and are located in or closer to the other cities on the peninsula. Therefore, we request that these projects be labeled as a location Letter to: John Tolly January 4, 1996 Page 2 other than Kenai. Please remove "Kenai" from the location column on the following projects: • CTP Cottonwood Lane Bridge Replacement (Anchor Point ?) • CTP Kenai Spur Road/Island Lake Road Sight Distance Safety Improvement (Nikiski ?) • CTP Kenai Spur Road/South Miller Loop Road Intersection Safety Improvement (?) • NHS Kenai Spur Road: MP 0-2.8 (Soldotna?) • CTP South Cohoe Loop (Kasilof?) • CTP South Fork of Anchor River Bridge Replacement (Anchor River?) • TRAAK Isaak Walton Campground Archeological Inventory (Sterling?) • TRAAK Kenai Spur Stormy Lake Scenic Viewpoint (Nikiski?) • TRAAK USFS Footprints Interpretive Trail Q) • CTP USFWS - Skilak Loop Road (Sterling?) • CTP USFWS - Swanson River Road (Sterling?) The council has asked me to check with DOT to see what the status is on the Forest Drive/Redoubt Avenue project. They also wanted me to reiterate that the improvements to N. Forest Drive and Redoubt include excavation of all frost susceptible material, complete underground storm drainage, wide paved road with paved shoulders, curbs and gutters, concrete sidewalks on both sides of the street, and street lighting. Basically N. Forest and Redoubt would be constructed similar to S. Forest which was built by the city. It is our understanding that DOT started the engineering last year and we are wondering how much of it is completed. Please advise me of the status so that I can update the Kenai City Council. Thank you for considering our enclosed resolutions. We feel that each of these four projects are extremely important to our area and the State of Alaska.

The Natives allege that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is using the August report to support Babbitt's opposition to orilfing.

Writer & Editor Carl Portman = sGC1U= ?72C edge and experience with Arctic oil and gas deveiopment. RDC believes most Americans would support development in the re- fuge if they were given accurate and objective information. instead of the highly -emotional and often -times misleading rhetoric which has plagued this issue. In fact. a recent poll by the Gordon S. Black Corporation revealed that ,he American public, when presented with the facts. supports limited oil and gas leasing in ANWR by a 56-37 percent margin. We believe a strong case can be made for development and that the issue should be decided on its own merits — not environmental politics. Contrary to what some believe. ?here is no choice between the environ- ment and the economy when it comes to Arctic oil development. Exploration and development can proceed with minimal impact to the environment. While the prevailing perception in the Lower 48 is that ANWR would be sac- rificed for oil production. less than 8 percent of the refuge would be opened to leasing, leaving 92 percent perma- nently closed to any development. More- over. development would impact less than 12.000 acres of the 19 million -acre refuge. Politics aside, oil development in ANWR makes sense. America has the most advanced technology in Arctic oil field development and stringent regulations and laws to ensure it's done right. As a result. Prudhoe Bay and more recent North Slope oil developments actually showcase environmentally -sensitive development. Delegations from around the world frequently visit Alaska production facilities to seek advanced. cutting-eoge American technology. America pioneered and wrote the book on Arctic oil field development. In contrast. Russia has a very dis- mal development record in the Arctic, but is actively seeking Alaska North Slope oil production technology and know-how in its attempts to safely de- velop energy resources above the Arc- tic Circle. While Alaskans are willing to share their expertise and experiences in North Slope oil development, they find it troubling to learn that Vice Presi- dent Al Gore has been very supportive of Russian efforts to develop oil re- serves in the Russian Far East and Siberia while strongly opposing leasing and exploration in a tiny sliver of ANWR where North America's biggest oil re- serves may exist. Frankly, doesn't it make more sense to support develop- ment here in America rather than in Russia or other foreign countries where environmental protection and regula- tions are much weaker? A vote for Alaska exploration and development is a vote for American jobs. American production, American revenue. Ameri- can technology and the highest level of environmental protection. In considering RDC's request to seek a compromise on the ANWR is- sue with Congress. please understand that most Native Alaskans who live, hunt and work on the North Slope and in ANWR's Coastal Plain support de- velopment. Also, please recognize that Alaska has given more to the preservation movement than any other state. Ninety percent of America's national wildlife refuge lands are in Alaska, as well as 70 percent of all national park lands. Alaska also contains 62 percent of the nation's federally -designated Wilderness, an area larger than the state of Utah o' Idaho. ANWR development would nc diminish this cesignated Wilderness block by one acre. (Conunuea to page 7) Page 2 ! RESOURCE REVIEW / January 1996 Tongass, ANWR caught in federal budget battle With President Clinton rejecting ,islation that would allow for ..asonable and balanced timber harvesting in the Tongass National Forest and oil and gas development in a tiny fraction of ANWR, resource development measures have taken big hits in the continuing federal budget feud. Just before Christmas. President Clinton vetoed budget legislation that would have raised the allowable cut in the Tongass to near the level estab- lished by Congress in the 1990 Tongass Timber Reform Act (TTRA). The reform law closed vast areas of the forest to logging, leaving approximately one-third of the commercial forested lands in the Tongass open to harvesting on a 100- year rotation cycle. That was the bal- ance Congress set for the Tongass, but since the passage of TTRA five years ago, millions of additional acres have been closed to logging and the annual harvests have fallen well below the intended levels of the 1990 compro- -nise. Legislation by Senator Ted Stevens would have required the Fores: Service to raise the annual harvest voiumes to 418 million board feet. which is still under the 32-year average of 421 mil- lion board feet. The Stevens bill would have provided some stability in the for- est ana sent more loggers bacx to work. It would have partially restored the bal- ance set by Congress through TTRA. Refusing to honor the 1990 com- promise. anti -logging interests, includ- ing Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt. accuse Stevens of trying to greatly in- crease logging in the Tongass, which they say will pose a substamiai threatto tourism. Let's look at the faz:s: Less than 450.000 acres of the Tongass have been ioggea since the 17 million acre national forest was cre- ated in 1907. As a result of ANILCA in 1980 and TTRA ten years later, the most that will be harvested over the next 100 years is 1.7 million acres —10 percent of the forest. "in his latest veto, President Clinton was less than honest when he singied out the Tongass in a statement to Congress." Can't recreational ists exist on the other 90 percent? If not, what is fair? Do they want it ail? In his latest veto, President Clinton was less than honest when he singled out the Tongass in a statement to Con- gress. "in the Tongass National Forest in Alaska. it would allow harmful clearcutting, require the sale of timber at unsustainable levels and dictate the use of an outdated forest plan for two years.- Clinton said in reference to an interior Deoartment budc_et measure he has just axed. Clinton's remarks were misleadina on all accounts, especially on the is- sues of clearcutting and sustainable harvests. O n the ANWR front. Alaskans have been working hard to convince moder- ate Republicans to keep the drilling measure in the budget package. The White House has been putting on a full - court press to remove it. As the Anchorage Daily News pointed out in its December 8, 1995 editorial, the President was wrong to single out the ANWR provision in his eto of the budget reconciliation bill. The Daily News. which sometimes takes editorial stands unpopular with Alaska resource producers, said "the time to explore ANWR has come. The Alaska people and the oil companies can do the job in an environmentally - sound manner." We couldn't agree more with the Daily News. The editorial also noted that Presi- dent Clinton has voiced his opposition to ANWR drilling many times. "Clearly he knows opposition is good politics." the News said. "But the good politics of the moment are bad policy for the future. ANWR should be opened while calm prevails in the energy markets, not ripped apart by desperate lawmakers during the next energy crisis." While the outcome of the negotia- tions between Congress and the ad- ministration is completely impossible to predict, the ANWR provision is not dead as long as Congress keeps it in the budget bill. We remain hopeful the House and Senate will insist that the White House compromise on this is- sue. If so, the ANWR provision has a fair chance of making it into a final budget package approved by the Presi- dent. Send your fax in support of the ANWR provision to: President Bill ::7mon.

(Photos by Carl Portman) RDC defends helicopter landings in Denali i le ) Pete Panarese. Chief of Field Operations for ska Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation. RDC sed its strong opposition to proposed changes in state ions thatwould ban helicopter landings in Denali State as well as result in new restrictions on fixed -wing landings in the park. RDC said there is no environ- or biological justification for the new restrictions. Here ndensed version of RDC's comments to the State: e proposed changes are a step backwards in meeting -hands of a growing Alaska tourism industry, mucn less eds of Alaskans. Banning helicopter landings through- park needlessly closes the gates to inaccessible and ss areas. With so much of the park and surrounding -iosed to surface access. a ban on helicopter landings -udent. arbitrary and unsafe. 4laska's vast parks are to provide a foundation for the growing tourism industry, access. as well as new opportunities must be provided. Statistics show that eeing is among the most popular and highest rated es for Alaska visitors. Helicopters quite often afford the able access to Alaska's largely inaccessible land base. Seeing has become an exhilarating experience that ses to draw increasing numbers of visitors to the state. tirtually no environmental impact, it's one of the best to see Alaska's most dramatic and rugged landscapes. Orr ople have expressed concern that noise from ft cu .,d impair the wilderness experience at Denali Park. These people tend to favor limits on flightseeing 'he park and a ban on helicopter landings. In many however. these are the same people wno oppose surface access to remote areas and other infrastructure to support a growing tourism industry. But. if the general public is unable to access the park by surface, then aircraft, includ- ing helicopters. remain the only feasible means to reach remote. rugged lands. Moreover. helicopters are a safe and reliable means of transportation. often able to land where no other aircraft can. Helicopter operations are among the lowest in terms of environmental impact. Given the fact that Alaska contains 62 percent of all federally -designated Wilderness — 57 million acres which ban commercial development and associated activities, it would be most inappropriate to ban helicopter landings and place new restrictions on aircraft in Denali State Park. Chugach State Park and Chugach National Forest already ban helicopter landings, and a majority of Denali National Park is managed for the preservation of backcountry qualities for those who demand solitude and untracked wilderness experiences. RDC encouraged the Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation to provide the widest possible range of visitor opportunities and attractions in Denali State Park, including helicopter landings. It noted that helicopters provide flightseeing and access to remote areas for people of all physical abilities and for those with a limited time margin. The helicopters used in today's modern flightseeing market are quieter and leave practically no footprint on the land. Denali State Park is a multiple use conservation unit that has accommodated helicopter landings for over 40 years without adversely impacting other park uses. January 1996 i RESOURCE REVIEW / Page 5 Natives sue over ANWR `Complete disregard for our view' (Continued from page 1) The suit says Deer should- have considered all Native interests before vigorously opposing refuge drilling, and said she "exoiorted the minority Native view to perpetuate the cynical myth ... that opening the Coastal Plain is op- posed by the Alaska Natives that would be most directly affected." Deer came to Alaska in October to urge the Alaska Federation of Natives to back off its endorsement of ANWR drilling. AFN voted by nearly a 2-1 mar- gin against taking a neutral stand on the issue, and passed a measure asking Congress to ooen the Coastal Plain to development. The suit faulted Deer for acting as a "cheerleader for the Secretary's anti - development coiicies ... ;nstead of play- ing the role of Native advocate in the development of ANWR policy." The suit was filed in federal court in Anchorage days after President Clinton vetoed the federal budget bill that in- cluded a provision to open ANWR to drilling. The plaintiffs. joined by state and federal lawmaKers. held a press con- ference in Washington. D.C., Decem- ber 12 to explain the suit. "The vast majority of Alaskan Na- tives support the development of the Coastal Plain for oil exploration." said Carl Marrs. President of Anchorage - based Cook Inlet Region, Inc. Marrs said Natives are being left out of a vital decisionmaking process by the Depart- ment of Interior that will affect our stan- dard of living and that of our children for generations to come.' Marrs criticized Babbitt's "complete disregard for ourview on this issue" and the Interior Secretary's "anti -develop- ment platform." He said the Native cor- porations were suing Babbitt and other officials for not honoring their obliga- tions under ANILCA. "As those with the biggest eco- nomic. cultural and environmental stake in the future cr this small portion of ANWR. Alaska Natives are asking that the federal government fulfill its obliga- tion to include us as active participants in determining the best use of these lands and our future," Marrs said. Oliver Leavitt. Vice President of Arctic Slope Regional Corporation (ASPIC). asserted that `caribou can coexistwith development" and that the Prudhoe Bay experience proves it. ASRC represents 7.300 Inuoiat Eski- mos on Alaska's North Slope. many of whom nunt caribou across the Arctic. Senator Frank Murkowski empha- sized that Alaska Natives do not want a government handout, but instead need economic opportunities and "the right to live like the rest of America." Babbitt has favored the anti -drilling position of the Gwich'in people over the position of the majority of Alaska Na- tives. Murkowski charged. adding that the Gwich'in make up less than 1 per- cent of the state's Native people. Murkowski said that of the 14,000 jobs that v.ould be created in Alaska by ANWR drilling, at least 3.000 would be set aside for Natives. He said drilling technologies would ensure that only a every small footprint" would be left on the Coastal Plain by drilling. Congressman Don Young and State Senator Al Adams. a Native Democrat who represents northern Alaska. also spoke at the press confer- ence. The suit asks the court to order the administration to cease distributing cop- ies of its revised environmental impact studv and to redo it, taking into account the views of a majority of Alaska Na- tives. It also asks the court to direct Deer to refrain from taking positions that are not in the best interests of all Alaska Natives. Meanwhile, a December editorial by the Chicago Tribune urged Presi- dent Clinton to lift the drilling ban on ANWR. "'If not. he should find a way to comcensate the state and people like the Inupiats for the income they will use. ."e Tribune said. ARCO plans to pump West Sak ARCO Alaska, Inc., may begin producing oil from the giant West Sak field as early as 1997, but most of the 20 billion barrels of crude in the formation will never be produced because of the oil's thickness. West Sak is the giant. hard -to - produce North Slope oil field that ARCO has been studying for years, trying to develop the technology necessary to profitably pump the field. The company's president. Ken Thompson. said ARCO intends to i bnng on the field one section at a time. starting with the easiest in 1997, if ongoing studies show that such an approach is sound. ARCO plans to spend about $10 million in 1996 on West Sak studies and expects to make a final decision late in the year. At that point th company should know how much crude it can produce from its first phase of development and how many wells it will need. Speaking before the RDC Thursday breakfast forum last month, Thompson said phased development would allow ARCO to learn how best to pump the field and to test theories on how drilling technologies will work at West Sak. Thefield lies above the large Kuparuk formation. Because it is closer to the surface. West Sak's oil is thick as molasses, which poses much greater development and production challenges compared to warmer, thinner oil deeper underground. Thinner the oil. the easier it is to pump to the earth's surface. Although West Sak rivals Prudhoe Bay in size, it's considered a marginal field since most of the oil is non -recoverable. Moreover, West Sak is likely to be a slow produc because of the characteristics of it.. crude. The field is unlikely to gener- ate large revenues to the state's treasury. but will create jobs. Page 6 i RESOURCE REVIEW I January 1996 In the case of mining reform, facts on industry's side By ChuCK Hawiey Mining Geoloc!st Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt has been doing his best to dramatize a so- called giveaway of public lands on is- suance of patent to a mining company. However. the main points that Babbitt has criticized on mining patent. such as lack of a federal royalty. minimal price for fecierai surtace. and post -mining use of mining lands for speculative gain. have been corrected in the bud- get bill on the Presidents desk. The billion -dollar land value cited by Secretary Babbitt is not the value of the mineral deposit but the gross value of metals in the ground. The dollar impact might aopear different if the Secretary had told the public that. of ,his billion dollars. more than half would be paid to labor and suppliers in the production of the metals. Some would also be paid in federal. state and local 'axes. Hooefully. the miner will make some profit. Taxes paid by miners are signifi- -ant. In 1994. the metal -mining indus- try paid as tax 38.2 percent of its net pre-tax income. ;mile the gold mining industry paid 48.7 percent. And the industry cannot be considered overly profitable. Standard and Poor's 1995 industry reports indicate that gold min- ing earned a return of 5.25 percent and RDC urges Clinton to open ANWR (Continued from page 2) Isn't it reasonable to allow develop- ment to proceed in a very isolated and small segmentof ANWR underthestrict- environmental measures in the .d? If Alaska had developed most of its land and if wilderness was truly en- dangered here. then the case for devek opment would be weakened. But that is not the case as Alaska contains more wild lands in parks and refuges than ail the land in Maine. New Hampshire. Vermont. Massachusetts. Connecticut. New York. New Jersey. Pennsylvania. Ohio, Delaware and Maryland com- bined. Nearly every acre of these lands will remain undeveloped. preserved forever in a natural state for future gen- erations to enjoy. Those who suggest that the last remaining Arctic wilder- ness would be lost if development is permitted in ANWR are deliberately de- ceiving the American public. yourself and the press. Alaska has always been heavily dependent on the development of natural resources to sustain its economy. Because of massive land withdrawals and other actions to protect the environment. Alaskans can arantee most of Alaska will remain wilderness even if the state succeeds in tapping the full potential of its resource industries. Opening ANWR could mean hun- dreds of thousands of new jobs across America, less reliance on foreign oil imports and greater domestic produc- tion. ANWR leasing will help contrib- ute to a balanced budget without sac- rificing the environment. President Clinton. please do not slam the door on a reasonable com- promise. Opponents of development refuse to compromise, but we both Know a true balance is found in the middle. Alaskans recognize the immense pressure you face from the national environmental lobby to veto any mea- sure that would allow exploration on 'he Coastal Plain. but please do not put a lock on Alaska's future. Please work with Governor Knowles and Alaska. where the overwhelming majority of its citizens support development in a small segment of ANWR's Coastal Plain. We ask that you take pride and show your confidence in American technology. regulation and. most of all. committed and high-quaiified Ameri- can engineers and other workers pro- ducing Alaska oil. ANWR can be developed in a safe and responsible fashion. providing jobs and energy while maintaining a neaithy environment in the Arctic. all metals only 3.14 percent of equity. The Clinton administration claims that mining reform efforts on the mining law are a sham. But Babbitt's own pro- posals would leave only a handful of American mining operations intact and would cost up to 17.000 jobs in the western states. In contrast, the pro- posal backed by most western con- gressmen uses a proven revenue gen- erator model: the 5 percent net royalty is essentially that used by Nevada where it has raised more than $40 million in taxes with minimal administrative cost. In the case of mining reform, the facts are on the side of the industry. National Heritage Area proposal draws opposition The Resource Development Coun- cil has come out against legislation in Congress which would create a new costly bureaucracy within the National Parx Service and add to the cost of government at a time when Congress is looking for ways to reduce costs. Both S.1110 and H.R.1280 would es- tablish Nationai Heritage Areas. taking more land out of private ownership and posing new threats to private property. Unfortunately. the National Heri- tage Area bills run counter to recent trends in Congress to limit government and shiftmore power back to the states. The issue of reducing government and its costs, as well as the protection and respect of private property rights, were major elements of the "Contract with America." Both bills increase the power of the Park Service over vast land areas. In Alaska, federal agencies already con- trol 60 percent of the land base. More land could be subject to National Heri- tage Areas, taking even more out of private ownership and local control.

Alaska's Tongass National Forest, will never be open tc timber harvesting. Over 15 million acres are set aside as wilderness. national monuments, wildlife preserves and other special protection areas. Only 1090 of the Tongass National Forest wiii ever be narvested. And the narvest cycie will extend over a one hundred year period. That means. at the end of the first century of harvest, there will be one hundred year old trees on the first acre cut.

KENAI RIVER SPECIAL MANAGEMENT AREA ADVISORY BOARD Thursday, December 7, 1995 Cook Inlet Aquaculture Association Building I. CALL TO ORDER A. Roll Call Members Present: Pat Bower, Jack LaShot, Ted Wellman, Robin Nyce, Duane Harp, Tom Knock, Lance Trasky, Jim H. Richardson, Ken Lancaster, Jim A. Richardson, Jeff King, Iry Carlisle, Mark Chase, Peggy Mullen, Ben Ellis, Chris Degernes. Members Absent: none B. Approval of November 16, minutes. The minutes were approved as corrected: roll call should have noted that Chris Degernes was present at the November meeting. C. Agenda Changes and Approval. No changes or additions. II. PUBLIC COMMENT Bill Stockwell suggested that when the Bylaws are discussed later, that the Board approve voting privileges for agency board members as well as public members as everyone needs to participate fully with the process. Also, on Page 2, D. of the Bylaws, he suggested that the board make a recommendation that the entire watershed needs to be of concern, more than just the KRSMA. III. NEW BUSINESS A. Upper Kenai River Cooperative Plan Presentation - Emily Dekker -Fiala, USFWS and Diedre St.Louis, USFS Plan boundaries are Kenai Lake to Skilak Lake and to Lower Russian Lake, with a quarter mile corridor along each bank. The Plan was initiated because of the needs of the agencies to update existing plans, such as the Chugach National Forest's Forest Plan, the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge's Public Use Management Plan and DNR's revision of the Kenai River Comprehensive Management Plan. USFWS, USFS, DNR, ADF&G, the Kenai Peninsula Borough, and CIRI have been the key players in the planning process, and a number of public meetings were held to identify issues. In February, 1995, there was an excellent turnout in Cooper Landing, with the discussion focused on defining the future vision for the upper river area. Later, meetings were held on specific topics such as Recreation Opportunities, Habitat Protection, Facility Development, Education/Interpretation, Commercial Use, and Cultural Resources to further define the future vision. From these meetings, the "desired future December 7, 1995 - Meeting Minutes Kenai River Special Management Area Advisory Board condition" for the upper river was defined. Having the Desired Future Condition identified helps land managers to plan a variety of management strategies for maintaining that condition. Indicators will be chosen to monitor human -caused changes to the area, and when standards have been exceeded, agencies will implement their management strategies. Throughout the process the public will be involved so that they know up front what actions will be taken if the standards are exceeded. This process is applicable to other sections of the river, and the Board may want to consider using this idea for revising the Kenai River Comprehensive Management Plan. Jim A. Richardson asked how the upper river process could relate to our planning effort? Emily stated that the various agencies will adapt what they need for their respective plans, and that the upper river plan should be completed'next fall. Board discussion continued for a few minutes regarding how this process could be adapted for the Comp Plan revision. B. Interagency Habitat Task Force Presentation - Doug Vincent -Lang, ADF&G, Sportfish Division This group originated from the Alaska Board of Fish's concern that riparian habitat impacts are caused in part by the in -river fishery, but the lack of technical information made it difficult to address the relationship. The Board of Fish asked for technical recommendations for the upcoming Board meeting, and the Sportfish Div. was assigned the responsibility for making these recommendations. Two studies were conducted during the 1995 season. One evaluated angler use and distribution patterns, quantifying the number of anglers and where they were located. They found that during the peak of the fishery, 1600 anglers were using the riparian area all along the river. While most of the use occurs in a few areas, there are no large areas of the river not currently utilized. Most of the use occurs on public land, but there is still significant use on private property. The second study was to evaluate the effects of angling on four different habitat types: grassy, shrubbed, treed, and denuded. Select sites were photographed before and after the fishery, and showed that bank anglers are impacting riparian habitats to varying degrees. Grassy habitats are the most vulnerable to impacts due to bank angling. 2 December 7, 1995 - Meeting Minutes Kenai River Special Management Area Advisory Board A list of recommendations was made for the Board of Fish to consider, once an extensive public involvement process has been conducted. These include: -only allow fishing from approved structures or inriver; -only allow access to the river via grated boardwalks or other habitat friendly means; -create sanctuary areas where habitat would be preserved; -establish a rotational use pattern for riparian habitats -encourage use in less sensitive areas; -give the department emergency order authority to respond inseason to fishery related riparian habitat concerns; -only allow camping in approved "hardened" areas; -restrict anglers from.going ashore except in approved areas; -only allow boats to moor from approved structures; -promote drift boat fishing along the river as an alternative to power boat use; -institute a public education process. The group recommended that the Board of Fish not close large sections of impacted habitats and thus force anglers onto unimpacted lands, resulting in greater habitat loss. The group also recommended that the Board not adopt regulations at the upcoming meeting which result in additional habitat loss that is avoidable. And lastly, the group recommended that the Board authorize emergency regulation authority to close areas of likely damage pre -season, or areas of unforeseen damage in -season. Iry asked if they looked at the areas after the flood to see what impacts the flood had. Doug responded that they have not looked at the river since the flood but felt that some of the impacted areas were probably wiped out. Lisa Parker asked what lands could be closed. Doug: they could close all state, federal, or local lands with the concurrence of the land owner. Ted mentioned temporary boat tie up for short term fishing, and was concerned that overzealous closures could force greater impacts onto other less impacted sites. Doug agreed that boat anchoring and tie ups are problems that still need work to address. Ted also asked about the criteria used to decide which areas are damaged enough to close. Doug: closure criteria will probably include: -was the land purchased for conservation purposes or habitat protection? -is there an on -going restoration project underway? -is it a large area of undisturbed land that is immediately 3 December 7, 1995 - Meeting Minutes Kenai River Special Management Area Advisory Board threatened? -will the closure prompt fishing from finished restoration project? C. Kenai River Summit Report, Diedre St. Louis, USFS The Kenai River Summit held on November 1 brought together the top administrators of US Fish and Wildlife Service, US Forest Service, DNR, and ADF&G. The purpose was to inform the decision makers of these agencies regarding concerns and issues related to the Kenai River and inform them of the MOU between DNR/USFWS/USFS. The Summit covered threats to the ecosystem, why the KRSMA was created, current activities underway such as the Upper Kenai River Cooperative Plan, restoration and educational efforts. Recommendations were made to reevaluate the current MOU and consider whether other agencies (ADF&G and the Borough) should be included under the umbrella of this agreement. The Kenai River Comprehensive Management Plan revision process should be the focus for the new approach and a new MOU, according to Summit participants. D. Legislative Committee - Ben Ellis, Chairperson The Legislative Committee will make its recommendations to the Board before the February Board of Fish meeting. The committee would like to make broad recommendations instead of going through the Board of Fish proposals one by one, with the exception of the one proposal the Kenai River Board made last spring (prohibiting anchor dragging). The committee would like to bring "concepts" to the Kenai River Board, such as promoting ecosystem approaches, maintaining a diversity of species, maintaining access to the fishery, etc. IV. OLD BUSINESS A. Bylaw Revisions The main issue of debate was whether agency members should be permitted to vote or not. One potential problem is that the quorum for public members is five persons, so a majority of three could possibly pass an issue, and is this an appropriate outcome. Ted would not object to agency members voting unless he saw agency members control the board to its detriment, so he withdrew his earlier opposition to agency members voting. 4 December 7, 1995 - Meeting Minutes Kenai River Special Management Area Advisory Board Jim H. R. favored voting by all members. Tom K. was in favor and thinks agency members "are important to the overall balance. Mark C. stated that the Board will need to ensure that the process used for revising the management plan is carefully done, whether agency members vote or not won't matter if the process is flawed. Diedre S. stated that she has seen agency members abstain when there would be a conflict. Iry C. felt that agency folks are generally the best informed of the board members but.his biggest concern is the public perception that it's a bunch of bureaucrats voting for themselves; public perception is important, and for this reason, he opposed voting by agency members. Jeff K. felt the board should be unified, with its strength measured by its diversity. Ben E. supported voting by agency members. Ken L. agreed that better participation would be made if agency members voted. Pat B. stated that agency folks should vote as they also represent the public. Peggy M. agreed with agency voting. Jack L. supported agency votes as they represent a large segment of people. Lance T. felt that all members should vote because there would be more ownership in the process, and where there is a conflict of interest, the member should abstain. Jim A. R. agreed with agency members voting as it would improve the participation of all, and the cities and Borough would have a vested interest. The issue regarding whether agency members should vote was approved. The only other changes to the Bylaws were to make references to the entire watershed when referring to issues the Board would be concerned with. The Bylaws as amended were unanimously approved for forwarding to Commissioner Shively. 9 December 7, 1995 - Meeting Minutes Kenai River Special Management Area Advisory Board B. Permit Committee Report The Permit Committee recommended that the draft letter to Governor Knowles be finalized and sent. This letter addressed participation by the Attorney General's office on habitat violation cases. Regarding the Jim's Landing reconstruction alternatives proposed by USF&WS, the Committee recommended that Alternative A be supported. This alternative calls for maintaining the existing footprint of the roadbed, while reducing the impacts on wetlands and improving the riverbank riparian habitat. The committee recommended that no parking be permitted near the ramp or downstream from the ramp area, that the river bank be closed to foot traffic, and that the area be managed to discourage vehicles not associated with launching from using the area. A letter making these recommendations should be forwarded to USF&WS before January 5, 1996. The Board approved sending the letter to Governor Knowles and to the US Fish and Wildlife Service. Lance Trasky provided a brief summary of the status of the lands being considered for purchase using oil spill monies. On November 20, the EVOS Trustee Council authorized the purchase of 6 Kenai River and 2 Moose River parcels for habitat protection. The Kenai River parcels include: The Kobylarz parcel, Chester Cone's parcel, Salamatoff lands, the Kenai River Ranch, Irene Girves' parcel, and the Stephanka Tract. If the land owners accept the purchase offer, the lands will be purchased. The process for accepting nominations is still open, so future parcels may also be acquired. Lance also provided a briefing on the Kenai River Habitat Protection and Recreation Enhancement Project recently funded by the EVOS Trustees. This $2,000,000 project spread out over three years will provide restoration monies for public lands as well as provide recreation enhancements that will protect habitat, such as light penetrating boardwalks. A number of projects have been submitted and the criteria for ranking them is being developed now. Peggy asked if EVOS monies can be used for law enforcement to protect the newly acquired lands. Lance replied that operations funding is not available from the Trustee Council. C. Kenai River Comprehensive Management Plan Committee Report M. December 7, 1995 - Meeting Minutes Kenai River Special Management Area Advisory Board Iry reported that the committee is looking at how to get the plan revision started, and how to address the changes since the 1986 plan. One option is to use the "Limits of Acceptable Change" process as a way to start. We have not been given clear direction on what if any resources available to us for proceeding with the planning process. Jim A. R. suggested that before the next meeting that each Board member take the time to develop their individual visions for the river segments, and a master list will be prepared to help us start the scoping phase. We'll need to try to incorporate the work already done on the Upper Kenai River, too. D. Draft Park Regulations Hearing - Update Suzanne reported that at the regulation hearing held in late November, there was opposition from a few guides regarding the regulation which would limit the number of persons per motorized boat to six persons, since the US Coast Guard licenses limit the number already. Also, some felt that the regulation needed to address how motorized users of Skilak Lake would be affected. Other concerns expressed were that the rental boat permitting change did not reflect what a number of guides had recommended last spring, namely that rental boats be restricted to the same hours as guides. This may be an issue that can be addressed later once all the rental boats are under permit. V. PUBLIC COMMENT Tom Corr, Sr. stated that the reason he came this evening was because he thought he'd heard on the radio that no one would be able to fish from the banks of the river, and he was concerned about this possibility. IV. ADJOURNMENT A. Board Comments Robin West introduced himself as the new Kenai National Wildlife Refuge Manager, and stated he will be involving the Board in scoping the Salamatoff public easement problem to address what can be done to solve that problem. B. Date/Agenda of Next Meeting The next meeting will be held at 7:00 pm on Thursday, January 11, 1996 at the Cook Inlet Aquaculture Association Building. The evening meeting will be proceeded by the following scheduled 7 December 7, 1995 - Meeting Minutes Kenai River Special Management Area Advisory Board Committee meetings: 2:00 - 3:00 pm: Permit Committee Meeting 3:00 - 5:00 pm: Management Plan Committee meeting Other committee meetings may be announced at a later date. Agenda topics will include more time to discuss the management plan, and a presentation on the Kenai River Community Forum that The Nature Conservancy is organizing for next spring.

DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND GAME HABITAT AND RESTORATION DIVISION January 9, 1996 A Jd N 1996 Mr. Keith Kornelis Public Works Director City of Kenai 210 Fidalgo Ave., Suite 200 Kenai, Alaska 99611-7794 Dear Mr. Kornelis: TONY KNOV 333 RASPBERRY ROAD ANCHORAGE, ALASKA 99518-1599 PHONE: (907) 344-0541 vw� CpvNGaL /ivP�0 ///71'1& Thank you for your participation in the Kenai River Habitat Restoration and Recreation Enhancement Project. The project's Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) has evaluated the City of Kenai's restoration proposals and assigned a preliminary score to each based on the information that you provided. The team also recommended design changes that will increase each proposal's restoration benefits, facilitate permitting and enhance overall cost-effectiveness. The City of Kenai is under no obligation to accept these recommendations, either in total or in part. If you wish to retain your original proposals their scores will remain unchanged. However, if any of the recommended changes are incorporated, we would like to have the revised proposals with refined cost estimates re -submitted by January 18, 1996. The revised proposals will then be re-evaluated and re -scored to produce a final ranked list of projects. In addition, to assist us in our analysis, we request that you specify the time it will take to construct each project and the management actions that will be applied to prevent natural and human -related damages once a project is completed. The recommended changes for each proposal are as follows: Kenai Dunes 1. Increase design effectiveness by keeping people off the dunes and restricting use to access stairs and boardwalks. This might be accomplished by fencing portions of the dunes. 11-K107LH Mr. Keith Kornelis -2- January 9, 1996 2. Prevent vehicular access on protected parts of the beach. Cunningham Park 1. Reduce/redesign boardwalk -- possibly in T-shape configuration. 2. Add fence on downstream side of the project to prevent trespass impacts on private property. Fence unprotected areas to discourage additional bank damage. 3. Install movable boardwalk to address erosion and icing problems. 4. Consider handrails. 5. Provide better information on boatramp work. 6. Add habitat restoration component if possible. If you have any questions, please give me a call at 267-2277. Sincerely, Mark N.

Portfolio Results, Enclosure I contains an Investment Portfolio Report showing the securities comprising the portfolio as of December 31, 1995; purchases, sales, and maturities of securities during the quarter; the weighted average yield to maturity of the portfolio as of December 31, 1995, the weighted average maturity in months of the portfolio as of December 31, 1995, and, the average annualized portfolio yields during the quarter. 2. Yield Comparison With Benchmarks. A comparison of the weighted average yield of the City's portfolio, as compared to specific benchmarks, is as follows: Weighted Average Yield To Maturity, City Portfolio, 12/31/1995 5.76% Yield, 3 Month Treasury Bills, As Of December 29 4.91 %. Yield, 1 Year Treasury Bills, As Of December 29 5.06% Public Investor Local Government Investment Pool Index Week ending January 5, 1996, 7 Day Yield 5.61 % Alaska Municipal League Investment Pool 1 Day Distribution Rate 5.57% 3. Interest Rate History. Interest rates, and associated investment yields, have continued to drop throughout the quarter. The following yields for the I year Treasury Bills illustrate this point: September 28 5.21% October 30 5.30% November 24 5.15% December 29 5.06% As a reference point, each 1 basis point drop in effective yield (0.01 %) on our portfolio of $30,250,000 equates to an annual loss of $3,025 in interest revenue. Within the last week, due to the failure of national leaders to pass an annual Federal budget, long term interest rates rose, but short term interest rates remained fairly steady. 4. Interest Rate & Investment Yield Outlook. The outlook for interest rates and investment yields is extremely cloudy. Literature I receive continues to project a drop in the Federal Funds Rate and Treasury security yields through July, 1996, with the Federal Funds rate estimated to drop to 5%. We have recently, however, seen an increase in long term interest rates caused by the political gridlock over the budget in Washington. The uncertainty over yields bodes for some hedging in our investment strategy. 5. Investment Revenue Effect On the Annual Budget. Investment revenue for the year was budgeted for at 6% effective annual yield. The average yield for the portfolio for the quarter was significantly lower at 5.73%. If interest rates continue to decline, actual interest revenue for the year will be substantially under budgeted amounts. 6. Investment Strategy. As the interest rate outlook is cloudy, I will follow several themes for my investing in the near future: a. I will hedge against interest rate increases by keeping a sizable balance in the Alaska Municipal League investment Pool. As interest revenue is earned daily on pool balances, we will be able to take advantage of rising rates by a larger than normal exposure here. b. For fixed income security investments, I will further hedge against rising interest rates by purchasing securities with a call feature. We get a yield bonus for purchasing such securities and, if rates rise, the chance of a call becomes less and less likely. c. I will continue to look to purchase federal Agency securities, to take advantage of the slight increase in yield such securities provide. d. To protect against dropping interest rates, I will continue to reinvest some portion of all maturities in non -callable "bullet" securities with maturities out near the two year limit.
