NEW BUSINESS
a. Kornelis memo re: Revenues & Expenditures/Boating Facility
Kornelis provided a report on revenues and expenditures at the City
dock per the request of the Harbor Commission at their August meeting.
The report covers the periods from 1988 through the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1996. The following topics were discussed:
Fish Tax: Semmens reported the fish tax is shared between the State,
Borough and the City. The State gets 50% and the remaining 50% is
Harbor Commission
October 6, 1997
Page 1
split between the City and the Borough. The fish tax does not support
the dock but the information was provided in the packet since it was an
issue with the public at the August meeting.
Boating Facility Enterprise Fund: Semmens explained the Fund line
item report that was included in the packet (Exhibit F-4). It was noted
the Other Revenue line item included boat launch fees, rental space, and
small sale items to include oil, etc. Under operating expenses Personal
Services included salaries, benefits, social security, part time employees,
etc.
Depreciation: Semmens reported that Depreciation was not budgeted
this year so the line item does not reflect positively on this report.
However, it is in the budget for next year. Semmens pointed out the
credit arising from transfer of depreciation to contributions account
effectively reduced the depreciation expense impact on retained
earnings. This depreciation expense is for the portion of the dock that
was built with grant money from the State. The fund is set up like a
normal business as opposed to the general fund of the City. The intent
when it was set up was that user fees and charges would cover the total
cost of the expenses of running the dock. Semmens reported that it is
estimated the fund will lose approximately $67,000 in fiscal year 1998.
This will result in the dock borrowing money from the general fund.
Semmens stated he will recommend to Council that the fund be changed
from an enterprise fund to a special revenue fund which would eliminate
the depreciation expense.
Dock Operating Expenses: Discussion took place on what it is costing
to run the dock facility versus the expenses involved. Bookey noted the
report provided in the packet will serve as backup should the cost of
services at the dock be discussed in the future.
Contracting Dock Services: Discussion took place on the possibility of
contracting the dock out to private enterprise. Bookey reported this
would be a topic of discussion with Council during the budget process
next year. Semmens stated that if the fire training facility becomes a
success under private management the dock will be the next program
that will probably go in that direction.
Gas & Diesel Sales: Kornelis explained the gas and diesel spreadsheet
provided in the report. It was pointed out that federal tax was only
applied to gas.
McCubbins asked how the City dock fuel rates differed from Homer.
Kornelis answered, although Homer does a much higher volume of sales
there is not much difference in fuel rates.

Bookey stated he felt that Snug Harbor may have been looking at the
City to subsidize his operation as the individuals that complained at the
August meeting sell their fish to Snug Harbor. It was noted the other
packers on the river do not try to make money off their fuel, the price
provided to their clients is a perk.
Taxes: Discussion took place on the federal and state taxes applied to
fuel at the dock. It was noted the users can apply for a credit on their
income taxes. Bookey reported the process is quite simple.

5. REPORTS
a. Director
DeForest handed out a copy of the monthly management report and the
October activity schedule prior to the meeting. It was noted that activity
was down for September as only 150 cards were handed out.
DeForest reported that she will be attending a conference in Anchorage
on October 9 regarding the Universal Services Act. The Act allows
libraries to get communication services at a lesser rate. The Kenai
library should pay only 28% of the normal phone bill. DeForest noted
the Act may go into effect by the first of the year.
DeForest will also be attending a Director's Leadership Conference in
Girdwood on October 20, 21 and 22. All small rural libraries in the
State will be in attendance and topics of discussion include the State
library card system, the library bill that was sent to the Legislature last
year, communications, and other leadership problems encountered.
DeForest stated the bill originally proposed to the State involves
misdemeanor charges filed against individuals that have fines at a
library. This will supposedly give the library's a legal right to go after
fines.
Bobby Norfolk, a storyteller, will be visiting the library on October 17. A
small potluck will be held prior to the storytelling. It was noted there
will be no admission fee, however, the Friends of the Library will pay for
Norfolk's visit. This event is for all age groups. Moore stated he would
announce Norfolk's visit at the October 15 Council meeting. DeForest
reported that flyers were sent to all the schools.
Eileen Bryson with the ASF (foreign student group) is planning a
reception in the Library on November 2. This is for anyone interested in
the ASF program.
DeForest reported that first grade classes from Sears Elementary is
already visiting the library. She added, it was nice to have them at the
beginning of the year so that the children can become indoctrinated
early on.
Discussion was held on fines paid for the month of September. DeForest
stated that figure will increase next month.
Forbes asked about the $7,000 in the general fund for the Public Library
Assistance Grant that was on the City Council agenda on September 3,
1997. DeForest explained that it is a State library grant awarded every
year. This was on the agenda so that Council could accept it for the
library.
b. Friends of the Library:
Brown reported that Friends had a meeting on September 29 and at that
time the number of tickets sold totaled $9,500.00. Brown added there were
a lot of tickets out yet. Discussion took place on ticket sales and the
difficulty in selling them.. Brown reported that ads will run in the Clarion
on October 8, 15 and 22. All tickets must be turned in by October 20 and
the Library will continue to try to sell any remaining. It was noted that
radio ads are also being heard. Brown stated that Nora would sit at K-Mart
or Carr's to sell tickets if someone would sit with her. Brenckle indicated
that she would if it was on a weekend.
Library Commission Meeting
October 7, 1997

Brown reported that Dustin Aaronson agreed to be the DJ at the Halloween
Dance. It was noted there will be prizes for best costume, dances, etc.
Prizes may include tickets to the Charlie Daniels concert, Kaladi Brothers,
or Southcentral.
Brown reminded the Commission that halibut and prime rib are on the
menu.
6. OLD BUSINESS
a. Public Relations Committee
7.
Peters reported that O'Reilly also agreed to serve on this Committee and
one meeting was held. Lori Evans from the Clarion was contacted and
she indicated that space may be available in the newspaper for the
library articles. These articles will focus on what local celebrities are
reading. Evans also indicated that she would like to see these articles
be shared with the Soldotna library. Brenckle suggested that perhaps a
high school or college journalism student could write these articles.
Peters stated a name for the committee will be chosen at their next
meeting.
a. Multi -purpose facility: Discussion took place on the proposed multi-
purpose facility. Peters indicated he would support such a facility if it
was used for something other than hockey. Moore reported that money
for such a facility is available through the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation
(BOR). The City owns property on the golf course along the fairway and
behind the driving range which is designated as recreation property.
BOR gave verbal approval to the City to sell this property. If sold, the
proceeds would go towards the multi -purpose ice facility. The property
currently being considered for the facility is the Mental Health lands
near the high school. Mayor Navarre was optimistic that the land is
obtainable through trade or sale. Moore reported the land at the golf
course is currently being subdivided and it is anticipated that $600,000-
$700,000 could be obtained through the sales.
Forbes asked if there were any lands available for the library. Moore
indicated there was if you wanted one by the airport. He reported the
animal control shelter is being built on airport land and the airport is
financing the whole project. Once built the airport will lease the land to
the City at 6% of the appraised value.
b. Challenger Project: O'Reilly asked what the status was on the
Library Commission Meeting
October 7, 1997
Page 3
Challenger project. Moore reported the City is no longer involved but he
did see a copy of the NASA budget which goes to the President and there
was a line item in there for 2.5 million dollars for a learning center in
Kenai, Alaska.
8. COMMISSIONER'S COMMENTS / QUESTIONS
Commissioner Brenckle: Welcomed O'Reilly back from his trip. Brenckle also
asked for some assistance or tips on selling the raffle tickets.
Elissa Fahnholz: Requested information on the raffle tickets. The sale process
was explained and it was also pointed out that a person had to be 18 or 21
years old to sell them.
Commissioner Forbes: Asked what steps would need to be taken to get money
from the City to have professional plans drawn up for the new library addition.
Forbes felt it would be more effective having plans on hand when the Library
goes out to seek grants for the addition. Moore answered there are a couple of
options available. One would be to get it from the general fund the other to
discuss the matter with the City Manager and have it put in the budget for next
year. After a group discussion it was decided that Moore will go to the City
Manager to have it put in the budget for next year.
Commissioner O'Reilly: Asked about an article he saw in the paper regarding
federal money for libraries. DeForest answered that she saw the article and
will look into it.
O'Reilly asked about a service to rent books and how many books are rented
through the service. DeForest answered 52 books are rented each month.
These include bestsellers and she selects them.
O'Reilly asked if the Library Commission, Friends of the Library, or certain
individuals were out looking and applying for grants. DeForest indicated that
no one is at this time but that it should go through the City as the City will
have to administer any grant awarded. Moore stated he would look into what
the grant process is.
O'Reilly suggested that a well known bookstore be invited to sell books during
the holiday season. Discussion took place on relationships with various
bookstores. DeForest indicated that she would order from whatever bookstore
offers a larger discount.

Dr. Pete Hansen - Park Project: (Dr. Hansen arrived at 7:20 p.m.) Dr. Hansen
presented the Commissioner's with a letter (included with these minutes)
which outlined the plans his family has for a park in the Old Towne bluff area.
This park, if approved, will be named in memory of Dr. Hansen's late son Erik.
Dr. Hansen also showed an aerial photograph of the lot and explained that his
family envisioned a viewing park focusing on the mouth of the Kenai River and
the Inlet. It was noted the lot is approximately 27,000 sq. ft. When asked
about parking in the area, Dr. Hansen pointed out on the map where people
were currently parking. He added, the 50' lot next to the proposed park could
be used for parking and the owner was approached with regard to selling or
donating. A lengthy discussion took place on bluff erosion, maintenance,

signage, safety, and general ideas for the park. It was noted that once this

After discussion on schedules, Bannock reported that Dr. Hansen would be put
on the agenda for the November 5, 1997 City Council meeting. Dr. Hansen
will meet with Frates to discuss maintenance and water to the park.
Lysa McCauley, the City's aerobic instructor was introduced. She attended the
meeting to share information on the aerobics program.
OLD BUSINESS
a. Parks Tour
Frates requested feedback and/or comments from the Parks tour held in
August. It was suggested there be two park tours next year in order to
spend more time at each one. Commissioners expressed their
satisfaction with the tour. Frates stated the tours will be scheduled and
Council members will be invited. He added that having Mayor Williams
at the last tour was very helpful.
NEW BUSINESS
a. Goals & Objectives/Park Improvement Review
Frates discussed the park improvement list and noted some of the items
had not been accomplished because they were not a high priority.
Frates commented on the following parks:
PARKS &. RECREATION COMMISSION
MEETING MINUTES
OCTOBER 2, 1997
PAGE 2
Beaver Creek: A lot of time was spent in the park this summer and the
Commissioners provided positive feedback after the tour. The work
planned for the park next year includes additional brush clearing,
additional park equipment installation, and installation of a restroom.
Cunningham Park: This park experienced erosion problems and
approximately four feet of land was lost over the last five years.
Additional parking is required. A lengthy discussion took place on
parking in this area and whether or not the fence currently in place
should be moved to accommodate that need. It was noted the only
reason the fence would be moved is if a boat ramp facility was put in the
park and more parking was required. Frates stated additional parking
was needed whether or not a boat launch was put in. Bannock stated
that a boat launch was very unlikely.
Municipal Park: Clean up will continue as well as work on the
handicap -accessible trail. Hultberg asked what the status was on the
situation with the Kenaitze Indian Tribe and their map identifying the
sacred areas in the park. Frates stated that the Tribe thought it was too
early to survey the park because of the vegetation. Discussion took
place on this work and it was pointed out that conversation with the
Kenaitze Indian Tribe should be initiated by the City and not the Lions
Club.
Castimore asked about the concrete pad to extend the stairs. Frates
reported this work is on the list of items to be continued next year
through the handicap -accessible trail project.
Bernie Huss: Discussion took place on pulling out the fitness equipment
in this area and moving it to the East Kenai Trail area. After discussion,
all Commissioners agreed the Bernie Huss Trail should be cleared to
make for a safer area that will attract more people. Frates stated this
would be a major undertaking and support from other groups would be
needed to accomplish the work.
Frates reported, Parks and Recreation's primary focus this year will be
on the ski trails. He also reported that a lot of thought was given to a
skating rink and at this time it would not be practical to pursue it since
there is only one person available to do the work.
7. Director's Report
a. Recreation Center Courts/Gym Refinishing & Repairs:
PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION
MEETING MINUTES
OCTOBER 2, 1997
PAGE 3
Two of the courts are completed and the last one should be operational
within the next couple of days.
b. Fall City League Basketball: The men's league will start on November 3
and there are about six teams. The women's league will start in
January. It was noted that tournaments will be played again this year.
Frates indicated that a wally ball league may also be developed.
C. Recreation Center Aerobics - Lysa McCauley: McCauley showed her
Group Fitness Certificate and it was reported that she is now a certified
instructor. Discussion took place on what was planned for the adult
aerobics program. Frates indicated a program for young teens may also
be developed. A health assessment computer program was also
discussed. McCauley shared a report on her health assessment to show
what type of information the program could provide. It was suggested
that the aerobic program be expanded to include the public.
Hultberg indicated the facility may need to be expanded in the future to
accommodate the various programs. Discussion took place on
expansion of various City facilities to include the rec center, library, etc.
It was suggested the expansion be included in the next five year plan.
8. QUESTIONS & COMMENTS
Commissioner Sandahl reported that he has received several complaints on
the type of people that are hanging around the rec center and movie theater. It
was reported that some people are afraid to travel in the area because of these
individuals. Sandahl asked how many times the police are called for this.
Frates reported that he received similar complaints regarding kids smoking and
blocking the street. He added that the police have been contacted on a few
occasions and Officer Carver, who is involved in D.A.R.E., makes an effort to
talk to the kids and get them out of the area. It was noted that something had
to be done to make this area a safe haven for those that utilize the rec center.
Sandahl stated the Commission needs to determine whether or not they will
spend more on all of the parks, prioritize the work in a few of the parks, or
close down a few parks. Sandahl further stated that funds may not be
available in the future so these areas need to be re-evaluated. Castimore
stated that the Commission needs to consider what would bring people into the
community and nice parks may be a draw. Bannock stated, Council reviewed
that issue last fall and to bring people to the area, upgrades were made to the
water system, sewer system, and roads. He added, a new philosophy by this
Commission may be in order. Sandahl indicated that the new philosophy
should be developed in conjunction with the budget.

scheduled to begin at 7:00 p.m.
Administration was directed to look into the "Year 2000" problem with computerized
equipment and report on how much it will cost the City to fix it. Semmens stated he
estimates it will cost the Finance Department about $80K in the next fiscal year to
replace the accounting system. The package needs to be replaced next year due to
the vendor's decision to drop support of the package because of the year 2000
incompatibility, Semmens said.
I-2. City Manager -
Ross reported he had received a letter from Benyaniini stating that he is not going
ahead with the proposed lease of City property because the price is too high. Williams
said maybe the City should subdivide the 12 acres so it wouldn't cost so much to
lease. He suggesting putting that item on the Goals and Objectives list.
I-3. Attorney - No report.

KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES

I-5. Finance Director - No report.
I-6. Public Works Director -
Kornelis reported the STIP meeting with DOT will be on October 8, 1997 at 10:00 a.m.
Also, regarding the Mission Street project, DOT has opened the bids. Peninsula
Construction is the apparent low bidder at $304,000.
I-7. Airport Manager -
Ernst reported that the Taxiway C project is moving along well. The cracks in the
runway are sealed. He said the job description for his job is out "on the street."
ITEM J:
J-1. Citizens - No comments.
J-2. Council
Bookey - Nothing.
Swarner - Nothing.
Moore - Thanked Fire Chief Dave Burnett for his years of service to the City.
Measles - The minutes from the June 17, 1997 KRSMA meeting state there was
a unanimous vote for accepting the amended draft of the Kenai River Management
Plan. He said this is upsetting because a representative of the City of Kenai was in
attendance at that meeting and the Kenai City Council has been fighting against the
Plan.
Bannock - Stated there is a problem with parking regulations in the City. He
said the only place in town where there is paid parking is at the airport —where it is
strictly enforced. He said if parking rules are going to be enforced at the airport then
they should be enforced all over town. He stated he has seen the same motor home
parked in a "no parking" zone for two weeks, but if anyone gets back late to a car in
short-term parking it has already been towed.
Administration was directed to research the possibilities of changing the situation (or
at least enforcing the rules more evenly) and report back to Council.
Smalley - Thanked Dave Burnett.

Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO
ORDERED.
ITEM B: SCHEDULED PUBLIC COMMENT
B-1. Tom Osland - Kenai Peninsula Hockey Association/Multi-Use
Recreational Facility.
Mr. Osland noted his address as P.O. Box 3183 Soldotna and that he was currently
president of the Kenai Peninsula Hockey Association (KPHA) and was speaking on
their behalf. Osland referred to his letter which was distributed and added to the
packet at the beginning of the meeting. He reported, KPHA had met with Nate Kiel
who had given a presentation on the proposed ice facility. KPHA endorsed the plan as
they felt it very worthwhile and believe the people involved in the planning are very
good.
Osland added, there is need for another ice facility in the area. Ice time is scarce and
since the Junior B team, "Hellfighters" moved to Kenai, family open ice time was
rescheduled. Osland also noted, KPHA is the largest user group at the Soldotna rink
and would probably be at the proposed facility as well. He noted that when hockey
tournaments are held in Soldotna, they include 15-20 teams. They have had to turn
teams away because of the lack of ice time.
City Manager Ross reported a survey had been completed on the BOR lands and the
plat is yet to be completed. He attended a meeting last week with Bruce Phelps
(DNR), Rick Baldwin (user group), and Borough Mayor Navarre. DNR will be the
endorsers of the land use plan when it is sent on to the federal agency in Portland.
Navarre feels comfortable the Borough will be able to get the Mental Health property
by the high school and it is hoped the KCHS parking lot area will be able to be used
instead of building another parking area in order to keep more capital funds available
for the building construction.
Smalley asked if the city would then be dealing with the school district if the KCHS
parking lot is used, instead of the Borough. Ross answered, Navarre stated the
Borough can pick up the Mental Health Land and in all probability will be looking at a
land transfer to the City of Kenai. In that case, the land would carry the BOR
restrictions. He added, the ice facility would be owned by the City of Kenai with an
agreement with the school district for use of the school parking lot. The use of the
parking lot has not yet been discussed, however it is the direction they are heading.

Councilman Moore thanked Osland for attending the meeting and added, he felt it
was very important KPHA endorsed the need for another ice facility because they are a
large user group. Moore asked Parks & Recreation Director Frates for comments.
Frates stated he thought there were players and users available and there seemed to
be a community need. He added, he was looking forward to being involved with the
project and working with KPHA.

D-2. Airport Commission
Councilman Measles reported the Commission would be meeting on Thursday,
October 9. Mayor Williams noted United Airlines had moved their air cargo operation
to the Anchorage airport and suggested city administration should approach United,
as well as other air cargo/freight operators in regard to moving their operations to
Kenai. He noted, there may be some concern from citizens in regard to noise.
Swarner noted, comments she had received were that the training flights were noisier
and less concern was expressed when planes were bringing revenue into the city.
Measles stated he believed there was interest in cargo operators moving off of the
Anchorage airport. He noted, he had attended several meetings lately with air cargo
carriers (UPS and Federal Express) who were very interested in moving elsewhere due
to space availability and fuel consumption increases.
Williams suggested Ross find out who to contact and set up a meeting with the carrier
representatives, Williams, Measles, Ernst and Ross. Ross requested Ernst look into
the matter when he was in Anchorage meeting with FAA on Friday.
D-3. Harbor Commission
Councilman Bookey reported the next meeting was scheduled for Monday, October 6.

Drive was approved after some discussion. Also, a landscape site plan for Lot 10,
Block 2, CHAP had been approved (which would be discussed by council at H-3).
Smalley noted, there was some concern of whether using this property for a Head
Start Program playground would be the highest and best use of the property. Also,
there was some concern with the Head Start Program being presented in a building
that had been used as a garage for many years.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
OCTOBER 1, 1997

Ross noted, an appraisal would be ordered after council approved the lease
application. Swarner noted, she disagreed with the concerns the property would not
receive highest and best use when used as a playground since the property had not
been used for many years. Ross added, FAA had some concerns in regard to highest
and best use also and that was why the lease is only for five years.

Swarner reported no meeting had been held since the last council meeting. She
noted, the Committee had requested to cancel their meetings in November and
December and council had no objections.
Swarner asked Parks &. Recreation Director Frates if he had talked with Helen Brown
in regard to the banners (which were heavily damaged during the last wind storm)
and whether she had proposed any design changes, etc. Frates answered he felt there
were several options: 1) to use heavier fabric and test the strength of the fabric prior
to making more; (2) continue the project but place the hand -made banners along
Airport Way and other places where the wind is not as strong; or, 3) discontinue the
whole banner program. He added, the subject will be discussed during the next
Beautification Committee meeting.
D-7b. Historic District Board

requested the next Board meeting be moved from October 20 to October 13 due to

MOTION:
Councilman Smalley MOVED for approval of the lease application to Salamatof Native
Association, Inc. for Lot 4, Block 1, Cook Inlet Industrial Air Park. Councilwoman
Swarner SECONDED the motion.
Smalley reported, the Planning & Zoning Commission attached beginning and
completion dates for the project to coincide with the two-year requirement that the
building needed to be built and ready for use.
VOTE:
There were no objections. SO ORDERED.
H-4. Approval - ESI Proposed Lease
MOTION:
Councilman Moore MOVED for approval of the ESI lease and Councilman Smalley
SECONDED the motion.
Ross explained, the city was not in agreement with ESI in regard to paragraph 15 and
the matter was being discussed. However, he felt the matter would be resolved and
wanted to bring the draft forward to council so that it wouldn't get caught up in the
two -week meeting cycles.
Ross explained, the lease was for 30 years; the city would provide utilities to the site
boundary; the city would provide hydrants and hydrant maintenance; ESI will provide
free training for city personnel; and, the city will provide non -potable water. He
added, the cost to extend the utilities to the site boundary was estimated at less than
$55,000.
Williams asked if those costs would come from airport funds. Ross explained, the
change order to expedite the work would come from the ARFF project fund. However,
after discussing the allocation of funding with FAA, there was a possibility it may
come from the General Fund. Williams noted, the original lines were placed with
airport funds. Ross pointed out, that was when the land was still airport land.
Moore asked if the lessee would have the opportunity to purchase the property after a
certain amount of time. Ross answered, it had not been discussed as an option.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
OCTOBER 1, 1997

Moore stated, he would be concerned the city's free training would be discontinued if
ESI chose to purchase the property. Ross stated, he though if ESI chose to purchase
the property, other elements, like non -potable water, hydrants and hydrant
maintenance, could be negotiated. Moore asked the matter be addressed in the
agreement. Ross stated, he would look into it, but was not sure how it could be
incorporated into the agreement.
Attorney Graves stated it would not be difficult to include language that those items
would be a condition of the purchase. Bookey asked if ESI chose to purchase, would
the property be sold at fair market value. Answer was yes. Bookey stated he would
have no problem with their purchase of the property if it would be at fair market
value. Measles stated he saw no reason for them to purchase the property when they
were leasing it for $1 a year for thirty years.
Graves stated, there had been some discussion as to what would happen to the
building if the lease terminated prematurely or the lease ended at the end of the term.
They discussed removing the building or auctioning it off with the profits going to ESI.
He added, he did not know how feasible it would be for ESI to purchase the property.
Ross noted, after the site is developed, it is then platted. Based on ESI's plans, there
is a possibility of future development on the site. He didn't know if purchase has even
been discussed by ESI as they had not mentioned it. Moore stated, if there was no
motive for the purchase, he understood, but would hate for the concern to come back
to them in the future. Graves stated, language that ESI would continue to provide fire
training to the city to 2006 and the city provide non -potable water could be added.
Discussion followed as to whether ESI would have the opportunity to purchase the
property without going to public bid or whether the city would be obligated to sell the
property to them. Measles stated, in most cases, the city wants to sell the property.
He requested administration to review the code in regard to the matter.
Councilman Bannock referred to Page 2 of the agreement where it discussed taxes.
He noted, during their work session discussion, there was a possibility of reducing
taxes and asked if that had changed. Ross explained, the state statutes and borough
ordinances were forwarded to ESI and he told them it was doubtful they would apply
and the city didn't have an ordinance in that regard. It was felt getting the project
started was more important and the issue of the hydrants and their maintenance was
worked out. ESI then dropped the tax issue.

H-4. Discussion - United Fishermen of Alaska Annual Meeting/ Use of Senior
Center.
Councilman Moore explained he had been approached by the Public Relations
Chairperson of the United Fishermen of Alaska who was looking for a way in which
the city could support their annual meeting to be held in Kenai. He had thought free
use of the Senior Center may be allowed, but found that would be a precedent -setting
action. Moore introduced Karl Kircher, Public Relations Chairperson to present his
letter of request, distributed at the beginning of the meeting.
Kircher explained, the UFA's annual meeting is traditionally held in Anchorage, but
this year, the Association was convinced to hold it in Kenai. Meeting dates are
October 17-20. There will be 20 delegates attending the meeting, as well as Fish 8s
Game officials, politicians and speakers from around the state. Some meetings will be
held at the Cook Inlet Aquaculture building, as well as the Senior Center and possibly
the Kenai Visitors Center. Kircher also explained the seafood reception would be held
at the Senior Center on Saturday, October 20. They plan to send out personal
invitations to local businesses, industry, political leaders, commercial fishermen,
Borough Assembly members, as well as the Kenai City Council, etc. The reception
has sponsorship from the Kenai Peninsula Fishermen's Association, United Cook Inlet
Drift Association, Cook Inlet Aquaculture Association and Salmon Producers Alliance
who all contributed $500. The seafood will be provided by fishing organizations from
around the state. He expects approximately 200 individuals to attend the reception.
Kircher stated, he believed the meeting being held in Kenai, and especially the
reception, will help bring Kenai's diverse industries together and foster better
communication and cooperation. He noted, the City of Kenai has been very
supportive of the fishing industry and asked for its support as a sponsor for the
reception.
MOTION:
Councilwoman Swarner MOVED to donate $400 for the United Fishermen's
Association reception and Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion. There were
no objections. SO ORDERED.
MOTION TO AMEND:
Councilman Moore requested to recall the motion and set the donation to $500, the
same as the other sponsors. Councilwoman Swarner and Councilman Smalley had
no objections. There were no objections from council. SO ORDERED.

EXECUTIVE SESSION - None Scheduled.
ITEM I: ADMINISTRATION REPORTS
I-1. Mayor - No report.
I-2. City Manager - No report.
I-3. Attorney
Attorney Graves, referring to the previous ESI lease discussion, noted he had checked
the code and found Councilman Measles was correct in that a lessee has the right to
negotiate the purchase of leased land. He added, if ESI wanted to purchase the
property, the city could then add terms to the purchase agreement.
I-4. City Clerk
a. Work Session Notes - Councilwoman Swarner referred to the September
10, 1997 Work Session Notes and requested "and others" be noted (if
names are not known) as "Others Present" as is done in school board
and other minutes.
b. Oil Royalties Resolution - Clerk Freas reminded council they passed a
resolution in support of the 90-10 oil royalties in June and at the time,
council requested the resolution be forwarded to AML for consideration
at their annual meeting in November. Freas asked council if they had
any changes to that request. There were none. areas noted she would
forward the resolution to AML.
C. Holiday Party - Mayor Williams referred to the memorandum Clerk
Freas had included in the packet in regard to setting the date and place
of the annual holiday party. Council reviewed the dates the Senior
Center was available and selected Saturday, January 17 for the party.
Councilwoman Swarner noted there were some concerns in regard to the
food served last year and asked that there be improvement in that
direction.
Freas reported the city manager had requested department heads to
furnish a representative from each department to help in the planning of
the party. It is hoped, through more participaticn in the planning, more
employees will attend.

I-5. Finance Director
Finance Director Semmens noted in a previous meeting, council had asked from what
source the matching United Way funds were taken. Semmens reported, last year
there was $5,000 in the Legislative budget for miscellaneous use and it was taken
from there. In the 1997/98 budget, there were no miscellaneous funds in the
Legislative budget. He added, a transfer may be needed in the future to supplement
the Legislative budget to cover the donation.
I-6. Public Works Director
a. City Auction - Public Works Director Kornelis reported the city's
auction was scheduled for Saturday, October 4, beginning at 10:30 a.m.
He added, inspection of auction items would take place on Friday,
October 3 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Blakely's Auction Company will
handle the auction.
b. STIP Meeting - Kornelis reported the meeting date had changed to
Thursday, October 9, 1997 at 8:30 a.m. in the Kenai City Council
Chambers.
C. Mission Street Improvements - Kornelis reported DOT awarded the bid
to Peninsula Construction. They plan to do the underground work this
fall (including water/sewer, excavation and backfill).
d. OSHA Inspection - Kornelis reported a surprise OSHA inspection took
place at the shop, lube area, warm storage buildings 1 and 2, and the
crew building. The inspectors were favorably impressed and found only
three minor violations. There were no fines, which was explained to be
very unusual. All the violation items were corrected.
e. Light Pole/KaUfornsky Beach Intersection - Kornelis reported he
received a written response to his letter about the pole that was down at
Bridge Access Road. He added, DOT said it was the third time the pole
had been knocked down and felt it would be irresponsible of them to
place it in the same spot and would be placing it in a different spot. The
letter also stated they were waiting for funds to place the pole.
Councilman Smalley noted the pole had been reset and it appeared to be
in the same place.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
OCTOBER 1, 1997
PAGE 13
f. Light Pole/Rogers Road - Swarner asked Kornelis call DOT in regard to
the light pole at Rogers Road and Spur Highway - the wires are hanging
down and it appears to be stored upright.
g. Forest Drive Upgrade - Measles requested Kornelis to check on the
start date for the upgrade work on Forest Drive (Councilman Measles
noted in a discussion he had with a Borough Assembly member, the
construction work on Forest Drive had been moved and is now to begin
in 2001).
h. Pavement Patch Work - Measles asked Kornelis when pavement patch
work would be done on Pine Avenue. Kornelis explained, the purchase
order had been submitted, but the company was working on the paving
at Hope but would be moving their plant to Kenai very soon.
Councilman Smalley asked why the driveways were paved at the new
homes on Linwood, but the street pavement cuts had not been patched.
Kornelis explained, the contractor had a disagreement with the
mechanical and so the cuts were not paved. Kornelis added, the city
had a license and bonding for the mechanical contractor and he
contacted him and told him he needed to get the street paved. He will
contact the contractor again, and remind him the paving needed to be
done.
Swarner noted the pavement cut on Lawton Drive in front of the new
home had not yet been patched.
i. Animal Control Shelter - Smalley asked when the completion date
would be for the animal control shelter. Kornelis answered, he believed
February was the finish date. Smalley asked council if they wanted to
have a reception for the opening of the shelter. It was agreed one should
be held, although no details were made at this time.
I-7. Airport Manager
Airport Manager Ernst reported:
a. The taxiway has been scheduled to be paved and they hoped it would
begin next week.
b. The taxiway crack sealing had been completed.
C. Painting of the runway would be started in the next few days.

d. He issued a strong letter to Heaven Scent, the company who has the
airport janitorial contract. The letter offered three options, the last of
which was to end the contract if their work did not improve.
ITEM J: DISCUSSION
J-1. Citizens - No comments.
J-2. Council
Bookey - No comments.
Swarner - No comments.
Moore - No comments.
Measles - Noted he probably would not be in town to attend the October 15
meeting. Williams noted there was a chance he may not be in town either, and if he
wasn't able to attend, Councilwoman Swarner would be taking charge of the meeting.
Bannock - No comments.
Smalley - Stated he appreciated the letter City Manager Ross sent to Senator
Stevens to update him on erosion concerns. Ross noted, Senator Torgerson offered to
hand -deliver the letter to Senator Stevens and would discuss the matter with the
Senator for the city.
City Manager Ross also announced the City had received OST clearance from FAA.
Williams - Reported the following:
a. KRSMA Plan - He attended a luncheon at which Ross presented the
council's concerns about the KRSMA plan. Williams complimented Ross
on a job well done.
Ross reported he was working with Mr. Phelps (DNR) on the areas of
language (in the KRSMA Plan) to which the city objected and changes
are being submitted in regard to wetlands, zoning, property ownership,
and specifically on commercial (being treated somewhat like a
grandfathered situation) and the lower four miles. He added, without
modifying council's position in regard to inclusion of the lower four
miles, they were working on language that would recognize some of the
legitimate issues that were raised at the meeting. In working with the
city's representative on the Board, they are open to having discussions
for memorandums of understanding on issues of mutual concern. Ross
noted, there is no need to extend the KRSMA boundary and that some of
the issues raised could be addressed, possibly through city ordinance.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
OCTOBER 1, 1997
PAGE 15
However, those items will be a subject of negotiation with the city's
representative acting through the advisory board, the Borough, and with
the agencies involved. The language being submitted suggests there is
no need for a KRSMA extension and, Ross added, there is some reason
to believe that would be accepted favorably.
b. Sister -City Visit - On October 20, visitors from the Borough's sister city
of Akita will be visiting Kenai. Williams suggested they lunch at the
Senior Center. The visitors are wanting to meet with local counterpart
business people who have also been invited to lunch. He noted, there
could be 50-60 people at the lunch, although no cost will be charged to
the city.
C. Economic Development District - The executive board, working in
conjunction with the full board of directors, hired a chief executive
officer. Williams noted, there is a lot of political difficulty in the ranks of
EDD and it appeared there was some movement by the Borough to
change its method of EDD's funding. The EDD Board would like to use
a performance -based budget, but some of the assembly members are
more interested in cutting the funding altogether.
Williams added, he had been attending EDD board meetings on behalf of
the city, however a question was asked whether he was the voting
representative for the city. In order to vote, he appointed himself as the
city's representative. Council thanked him for attending the meetings.

City of Kenai
210 Fidalgo Ave., St. 200
Kenai, AK 99611
Dear Mayor & City Council Members:
RECEIVED
OCT
KENAI �'..
Enclosed is the invoice for your 1998 AML Membership Dues. You join 134 Alaskan
Municipalities (the largest membership in the history of AML) who make up the Alaska
Municipal League. With your municipality's support, the voice of municipal government
will continue to be strongly heard by the Administration and Legislature.
The question you must answer for your municipality is "What does AML do for us?".
This year teamwork between municipalities was responsible for a significant turnaround
in the relationship between the state and its municipalities. Here's how:
• SB 29 "Safe Communities" was adopted! - This was the AML/Alaska Conference
of Mayor's toR legislative priority. SB 29 increased money for many municipalities
and is part of the overall strategy to stabilize state money to municipalities.
• Municipal Capital Matching Grants — Funding restored, a 33% increase.
• Municipal Assistance/Revenue Sharing - The smallest reduction in many years
which was offset by interest earnings from early receipt of "Safe Communities"
funds, a higher minimum municipal funding level, and a 3.9% drop in PERS costs.
• Power Cost Equalization (PCE) - A supplemental appropriation of $1.5 million.
• Education Funding and Debt Service funding remained stable with increases for
new students.
• Federal PILT Funding is currently proposed for a 10% increase in Congress.
Next year's proposed top municipal issues are critical to your municipal budget and the
future of your community. AML/ Alaska Conference of Mayor's proposed top issues are:
1. Creation of a state program to fix deteriorating public facilities including
schools, roads, harbors, water and sewers, etc.
2. Creation of a stable education funding formula that doesn't overburden
local taxpayers.
In addition to joint municipal legislative successes, the AML offers:
The Annual Local Government Conference gives you an important opportunity to
share ideas and learn from hundreds of other local elected officials.
Member of the National League of Cities and the National Association of Counties
• The best municipal training in the state including the "Newly Elected Officials
Workshop", the Leadership Institute, "Nuts and Bolts", and the new Certified
Public Manager Program.
• AML joint services to save you money including: the AMI, Joint Insurance
Association, the AML Investment Pool, joint purchasing for office supplies, and
AML is studying the creation of a municipal health insurance purchasing group.
• AML Touchstone, Legislative Bulletin, and other publications keep you in touch with
state and national issues facing your community.
• Research service and direct assistance to help solve pressing municipal problems.
Notice to Cities in Boroughs:
Although AML has not raised its dues rate per population in many years, five years ago
the AML adopted a new dues structure that gives cities in boroughs the same "per
population dues rate" as your borough. This is the last year of the five-year phase -in
period. In coming years, you will see a stable dues amount which will increase or
decrease only as your population grows or decreases. Please call me if you have any
questions on your dues.
In conclusion, by belonging to the Alaska Municipal League you saved money for your
citizens this year and gave your municipality a stronger united voice in statewide and
federal issues. As budgets get tighter, the more your municipality needs to join with
all other Alaskan municipalities in supporting the work of the Alaska Municipal
League.
I hope to see you at the annual local government conference in Ketchikan next month.
Please call me at 586-1325 if you would like further information, or just to get acquainted
with new AML services and policy work.
Sincere ,
Kev' Ritchie

Memorandum
Date: October 10, 1997
To: Mayor John Williams and the Kenai City Council
From: Cary R. Graves, City Attorney
RE: Proposed Changes to the Senior Housing Lease
Attached is a copy of the Senior Housing Lease including the proposed changes.
There are four proposed changes. They are:
1. On pages 3 8. 4, Paragraph 10(A) and (B), Lne lease provides for two
different security deposits. One of $450.00 for non-smokers and one of
twice the monthly rent for smokers. Alaska Statute ¶ 34.03.070(a)

the tenant was upset by this. Porter advised it is in the lease that there are
no animals allowed. The tenant made the argument that the lease doesn't

Discussion on whether or not pets should be allowed. Billings noted that a
sign may have been helpful a long time ago. Swarner asked about seeing
eye dogs and Porter advised that is not a problem. Meeks noted he likes
pets but that is not the issue. Porter noted that the tenant after being
advised pets are not allowed has continued to sneak pets in. Porter stated
the matter is for the board to decide whether or not to allow it. Porter noted
they need to consider who will clean up after the pets, make sure they are
up to date on shots, and added there may be individuals who are allergic to
pets. Porter stated they had made the no pets policy but evidently it wasn't
clear enough. Pease stated he didn't feel it should be permitted noting they
didn't have facilities or anyone to look after the pets.
: UNANIMOUS
ollier asked who is responsible to see that pets do not come in. Porter
:ated that tenants will report it and it will be the responsibility of the tenant
i see it doesn't happen. If they allow it to continue, the tenant runs the risk
f being evicted.
Porter advised that now that the policy has been made, it will be typed up in
a bulletin and all tenants will be advised of the policy. Discussion on
whether or not to have a sign on the door stating "No Pets." Decided to
place a sign.
2. Light Parade
Porter advised she is looking for electricians to help put together a small float
with lights. Porter suggested they could use the rocket that Phillips made
them. Huddleston advised he will be outside during October but would help
when he got back in November. Pease advised he would help.

Hollier stated that she would like to see no smoking allowed. Meeks noted
they had tried to do that. Huddleston stated he felt smokers should pay the
extra deposit. Johnson asked if the tenant had to pay for the damages.
Porter stated she had asked the city manager if the should bill the tenant for
the damages and was advised no because it doesn't say they can't smoke.
Porter noted they are required to pay for damages such as a cigarette holes
but not to clean up the smoke damage such as removing the carpet to get
the smoke out. Porter noted that this was an extreme case. Hollier asked if
there was a law stating they couldn't have no smokers. Pease noted that
council disapproved it once. Meeks stated he felt there could be a policy of
no smoking but it would be up to council. Huddleston stated they could vote
again for a no smoking policy noting you would have to have grandfather
rights for current tenants. Meeks stated they could recommend this to
council. Hollier asked what you would charge for the additional fee, $5,000?
Discussion on what amount would deter smokers from renting.
Swarner stated that she personally felt that a no smoking policy would not
pass but felt that the deposit should be increased. Swarner stated that she
could speak in favor of the increased deposit. Huddleston suggested adding
that they also pay for damages. Discussion that if someone passed away
and there was no money to pay it was a moot point. Pease noted they
should have the option to collect if the estate has funds.
HOLLIER MOVED TO HAVE A DEPOSIT OF $2,500 FOR SMOKERS WHICH
IS FULLY REFUNDABLE IF NO DAMAGE. HUDDLESTON SECONDED THE
MOTION.
Meeks asked if they shouldn't have that deposit for everyone. Hollier stated
she didn't want to pay an increased deposit. Meeks asked if it was
discriminatory and Porter advised it is not and she had verified this the city
attorney.
Hollier noted it would be for new tenants only. Nelson commented that
since the smoker on the first floor below her moved that she no longer smells
smoke. Huddleston stated that another thing they could do is not allow
smoking on the first floor and then move up to the next. =ventuaily, then
they wouldn't have any smokers. Nelson advised she felt there would be a

lot of objection. Swarner asked Porter if she knew how many people who
have moved in in the last year smoke. Porter advised probably a couple.
Swarner suggested passing the motion noting it would go before council.
Swarner noted then that they would know what council thought. Porter
noted that in addition to the cost of refurbishing you lose money because the
apartment is vacant during that time. Nelson asked about damage not
caused by smokers. Porter advised that they really haven't had much
damage not covered by the deposit. Nelson asked what is considered
damage noting there is normal wear and tear. Porter advised management
assumes the responsibility for painting, cleaning carpets, and drapes. A
permanent stain in the carpet would be an example of damage or a
countertop burned. Nelson asked how often carpets would be changed in
apartments. Porter stated it would be on a needs basis. Swarner asked if
there was a replacement schedule. Porter stated no but there is an account
that so much money is placed in that could be used for these items. Porter
reiterated that as long as damage not caused by tenant, it will be paid for by
the landlord.
Porter read the proposed deposit for smokers.
VOTE: UNANIMOUS.
Porter advised that Swarner would take this to council to decide if it should
be implemented.

Porter advised it is time to show appreciation for the city council, borough
assembly, and legislators who support their program. Porter advised she is
asking the Board to take responsibility for this event. Several members
advised they would be unavailable on the 9'. Porter stated they could

From: Richard A. Ross, City Manager P4—
RE: Peter Mysing Letter
Attached is a letter received from Mr. Peter Mysing. The letter outlines that as part of our
Mission Street project we are abandoning the water main his building and Mr. Amess's
building are hooked into for water service. It is his position that new service lines to serve
their two offices should be installed at City expense, since it is a result of City action that
they are losing their present service connections.
The reconstruction of Mission Street has resulted in a new water line serving the area.
Other properties affected, the Day Care Center, the Rectory, and Fort Kenay are being
reconnected to the new water line at no charge to the owners. Their reconnects are part
of the construction contract because of their simplicity and proximity to the new main.
In the case of Mr. Mysing and Mr. Arness, it is not recommended to connect their existing
service line to the new main. The present service line is a single line that runs across
other property and then splits at some point into individual services to each of their
separate properties. The City's position is that each of the properties needs to be serviced
by its own individual service connected to the new main.
After review of the issues with staff, I am recommending that the City pay the costs for the
new service lines. It is in the City's best interest to require individual service lines to each
of the properties, and not to allow the old service line to be extended to the new main.
This is not a decision that could have been foreseen by Mr. Arness or Mr. Mysing four
years ago when they connected to City service. Estimated costs should not exceed
$2,000.

Mr. Rick Ross, City Manager
City of Kenai
210 Fidalgo Avenue
Suite 200
Kenai, AK 99611-7794
Dear Mr. Ross:
VIA FAX AND REGULAR !SAIL
I am the owner of a parcel of real estate located in Old Town
known as Tract A-1B. My neighbor is James Arness, whose property
is designated Tract A -IA. We have serious concerns about the
city's position on the allocation of costs for the reconnection of
our property's water service following installation of upgrades to
Petersen Way.
Our two properties were initially one large parcel known as
Tract A-1 Petersen Subdivision. The parcel contained two buildings
both owned by Mr. Arness. In 1993 I expressed interest in
purchasing a building on Tract A-1B and we began the process of
subdivision. At that time the buildings shared a common water
source and septic system. In order to gain approval from the city
a new water line was installed to city water with separate
connections for each building. The system was installed pursuant
to permits granted by the city at a private cost of approximately
$15,000.00. Thus, at the present time, both Mr. Arness' building
and mine are served by city water on a system installed with the
City of Kenai's approval.
In connection with the current road upgrade project, the water
and sewer lines are being extended toward the end of Petersen Way
and the city wants to reconnect our buildings at a new point closer
to the end of the street. It appears to be the city's position
that it wants Mr. Arness and I to pay the costs of re-routing the
water lines on our properties to hook up to the new point
designated in connection with the road upgrade.
I feel this position is very unfair. This is not a case where
the city is installing initial service and we should pay to hook up
to it. Rather, we are currently receiving city water via a line
that has been installed and approved by the City of Kenai. I have

Mr. Rick Rose, City Manager
October 9, 1997
Page 2
no objection if the City of Kenai wants to change the point of
connection of my water lines; however, I do feel it's improper to
charge Mr. Arness and myself for this cost since we have already
paid it in installing the initial water line. We receive no
additional benefit by a move in the connect point.
I am requesting that the city reconsider its position as
expressed by Keith Kornelius and either leave the water connect
line where it is or, if it is moved, pay the costs to reconnect Mr.
Arness and myself at the new connect point. Mr. Arness and myself
are, of course, responsible for costs to connect to the new sewer
line inasmuch as we are not currently on the city's sewer service.
I appreciate your consideration in this matter. I look
forward to hearing from you soon.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Larry Semmens, Finance Director
THRU: Rick Ross, City Manager pK
DATE: October 10, 1997
SUBJ: Investment Report
At September 30, 1997 the City had investments totaling $34,895,831.34. The
breakdown of types of investments held is:
US Treasury Securities $10,412,320.50
US Agency Securities $21,340,959.60
AML Investment Pool $ 1,160,483.06
Repurchase Agreements $ 1,982,068.18
The City Code is very conservative in what type of investment vehicles can be
used and in how long maturities can be. This conservatism is wise as it does not
make sense to unreasonably risk the City's assets. It may be desirable in the
future to analyze the cash flow needs to determine if lengthening the maturity on
a portion of the portfolio would secure higher yields without increasing risk. The
fact that we have about $11 million in trust fund cash which cannot be spent
leads me to believe that we could lengthen maturities without negatively
impacting cash flow. In the current market where short term interest rates are
very close to long term interest rates, there is no compelling reason to lengthen
maturities, but this too shall pass. When there is a reasonable spread between
short term and medium term securities, I believe the City would benefit if
investments could be made to take advantage of such opportunities.
My strategy with investments is to comply with the Code in all respects by
purchasing US Government Securities with maturities of less than two years. My
primary goal, after safety, is liquidity. I have reviewed the historical cash flows
and made modifications for current activities to determine when cash will be
needed. Investments are purchased such that maturities will occur to meet the
cash flow requirements. Although I may occasionally sell a security to enhance
overall portfolio yield or to make adjustments due to cash flow needs, my usual
policy is to hold investments to maturity. This policy provides for stability and
predictability. The current market for securities allowed by the Code generate
yields that range from 5% to 6%. 1 try to buy the two year securities when the
rates approach the top of that range. Current yield on the portfolio is 5.91 %.
One change in the management of investments that I have made is the
negotiation of higher rates on cash held in our checking account at NBA.
Previously the account paid NOW account interest rates which range from
2.65% on amounts less than $1 million to 4.4% on amounts above $2 million.
The new contract with NBA provides for checking account balances to be
invested in a repurchase agreement at yields approximately equal to the 90 day
US Treasury Bill. Currently this yield is 5.06%. This is a significant increase in
yield with no increase in risk. The repurchase agreement is fully collateralized
by US Government Securities held in the City's name at State Street Bank.
I am able to keep up with market trends and conditions by daily reading of the
internet version of the Wall Street Journal. I also have nearly daily contact with
Greg Sammons, who is a broker from Dain Bosworth that I have worked with for
over seven years. When appropriate I obtain competing bids from Paul Jarvis,
who is a broker with US Bank that I have worked with for about ten years. Both
of these people are experts in their field, have numerous Alaska clients, and
provide me with excellent information and opinion along with the securities they
are selling.
A copy of the portfolio at September 30, 1997 is attached for your review. If you
have any questions or comments about our investments please call me at your
convenience.

THE AMERICAN HERITAGE RIVERS INITIATIP.
AN OVERVIEW AND OUTLINE
INTRODUCTION
The proposed American Heritage Rivers Initiative ("AIM") is designed to support communities in their
locally- based efforts to restore and protect America's rivers. At its heart, it is about community
revitalization and providing federal programs and services more efficiently and effectively. The AHRI
celebrates the important role that rivers played in our nation's history and continue to play in our culture.
It clearly acknowledges the inextricable link between healthy rivers and healthy communities, and reflects
the conviction that we can balance environmental, economic, and social needs.
Rivers selected for American Heritage River designation will serve as models of the most innovative,
economically successful, and ecologically sustainable approaches to river restoration and protection. The
AHRI will provide a useful toolbox of federal programs and services that can assist all communities in
their river conservation activities. The initiative imposes no federal mandates, no new federal regulations,
and no new funds. There are no federal land use or acquisition programs associated with the initiative.
BENEFITS OF DESIGNATION AND THE DESIGNATION PROCESS
1. Presidential Proclamation: Ten rivers will be designated American Heritage Rivers by
Presidential proclamation this year.
2. "River Navigator:" A federal employee serving as a single point -of -contact to enhance
community awareness of and access to federal programs and services.
3.Coordinated Delivery of Federal Services:
o Better coordination of multiple programs and services that can assist communities in their
efforts to restore, revitalize, and celebrate their hometown river heritage.
o Each designated river will become "a laboratory for reinvention of federal programs and
delivery of services." Performance -Based Organizations will be established for certain
designated American Heritage Rivers.
4. "Good Neighbor Policy:" Federal agencies will help ensure their actions have a positive effect on
the natural, historical, economic, and cultural resources of American Heritage Rivers.
5. Private Sector Opportunities: The Administration will encourage private sector partnerships with
local government to restore, protect, and revitalize American Heritage Rivers.
Who May Put Forward Nominations?
Any river community working to improve, protect, or revitalize a river is eligible to nominate a
river.
• A river community is self -defined by the members of the community, and may include private
jt4r�Qz_L
file:///AI/AHRI-F-1. HTiM
file)//AVAHRI-F— I . HT*
citizens, landowners, educational and arts organizations, community leaders, economic developers,
businesses, nonprofit organizations, public and private institutions, local and state government
agencies, Indian tribes, elected officials, and/or other parties within and adjacent to the proposed
area or areas supporting the designation of an American Heritage River.
Scope of Area Covered by Nomination
• A river community will define the area covered by the nomination. The area should reflect the river
community's capability to implement its plan of action.
The length of the area, whether it be an entire watershed, the length of an entire river, or a short
stretch of a river, may cross jurisdictional boundaries (if supported by that government and
community through letters of support and endorsement).
What Are the Qualifying Criteria?
Designation is available both to community -led efforts that are well underway and to communities just
beginning their river revitalization efforts. The qualifying criteria are broad, flexible, and credible:
1. Broad community support
2. Notable resource qualities
3. Local and regional partnership agreements
4. Strategies that lead to actions
5. Measurable results
What are the Selection Criteria?
• Designated rivers wiII exemplify America's river heritage at its best, in all its natural, historic,
cultural, social, economic, and ecological diversity.
• Designated rivers will reflect a variety of stream sizes and surrounding environments.
• Designated rivers will showcase innovative programs in river restoration and revitalization.
Evidence of Support
The ability of a river community to achieve its goals of river quality improvement and community
revitalization will depend on the cooperation of state, tribal, and/or local officials, as well as strong
partnerships with non- governmental and community organizations.
Number of Designations
The President will designate ten rivers in calendar year 1997. The experience gained from the designated
rivers and the extent of community support for the initiative will guide future river designations.
Terms of Designation
of 4 07/01i97 12:53 05
LlcJ//Al/AHRI-F— I .HTM
file:///AUAHR.1-F— I .PM
Designation will generally be considered permanent, subject to implementation of the community's plan of
action. The "River Navigator," however, will be for a term not to exceed fire years.
Selection Council
An interagency task force, composed of the heads of federal agencies, will make recommendations to the
President regarding designations. The Administration is considering options on how to include the
opinions of the public and experts from a variety of fields in this decision -malting process.
SERVICES AVAILABLE TO ALL RIVER COMMUNITIES
All river communities will be able to take advantage of improved delivery of existing federal programs
and services. Federal agencies will use existing stafy resources, and programs to assist communities
throughout the nation in their river restoration and community revitalization efforts.
1. Improved Delivery of Existing Services and Programs
• During the first year, federal agencies will focus on improving service and program delivery to the
designated river communities, but will also implement methods to improve information access and
service delivery to all river communities. Special emphasis will be given for outreach to minority
and low income communities
2. Information
• Internet Services: A "State of the Rivers" Home Page will provide information via the Internet on
river conditions and demographics of river communities. A user will be able to link to the home
pages to all participating federal agencies to access information on such topics as economic
modeling, available grants, teaching guides, and where to get information and advice from experts.
• A "talent bank" will share knowledge and techniques related to cor==., *ty river restoration and
revitalization projects.
• A catalog of federal support will be developed and made available via the Internet, as well as in
hard copy. The information will consist of brochures, "how-to" pampEets, a bibliography, and
videos.
For more detailed information concerning the American Heritage Rivers Initiative, see the Council on
Environmental Quality's draft program design, published at 62 Federal Register 27253 (May 19, 1997). It

Most Frequently Asked Questions and
Answers
Q. What is American Heritage Rivers?
A. President Clinton announced the American Heritage
Rivers initiative in the State of the Union Address on
February 4, 1997. The President's objective is to
enhance our citizens' enjoyment of the historic, cultural,
recreational, economic and environmental value of our
rivers and to protect the health of our communities by
delivering federal resources more effectively and
efficiently.
Q. What is the purpose of the American Heritage Rivers
initiative?
A. Rivers have always been an integral part of our Nation's
history -- providing opportunities for trade and
commerce, routes for exploration and discovery,
inspiration for ideas and culture, means of recreation.
and focal points for community development. The goal
of the American Heritage Rivers initiative is to support
communities, within existing laws and regulations, by
providing them with better information, tools and
resources, and encouraging local efforts deserving of
special recognition.
Q. How does an area become an American Heritage River?
A. Communities themselves will nominate their areas to the
President. They must meet basic criteria, complete an
application form and be selected. Communities must
meet the following criteria:
Broad support for the designation from
individuals and organizations along the river, such
as elected officials, landowners, businesses,
educational and arts organizations, community
leaders, economic developers, state and local
governments;
2. A range of natural, economic, scenic, historic,
cultural and/or recreational features that
demonstrate distinctive qualities of America's
river heritage;
3. The willinaness and capability of the parties
nominating the river and/or state and local
governments to enter into new, or to continue and
expand existing, partnership agreements.
4. A broad plan of action for the river.
5. Actions will result in measurable benefits for the
river community in terms of protection and
highlighting of historic and cultural resources,
revitalization of local and regional economies
and/or sustainable development (in terms of
protection of water resources and/or public health,
restoration of rivers).
Q. Why should a community seek designation?
A. The designated rivers will receive focused support to
access existing federal programs and services.
Communities may enlist the aid of a "River Navigator"
to ensure efficient access to the federal agencies and to
simplify and streamline the delivery of these programs.
Designated rivers and their communities will also
receive a commitment from federal agencies to act as
"Good Neighbors" in making decisions that affect
communities. Each river will become a laboratory for
reinvention of federal programs and delivery of services
that will support that community's revitalization efforts.
Q. What about communities that are not designated?
A. All river communities will receive streamlined access to
government programs and services via greater
coordination among government agencies, the American
Heritage Rivers Internet web page (which consolidates
government programs and services), and hard copies of
all information in an easy -to -use format.
Q. By what authority does the President name American
Heritage Rivers?
A. The federal government has the authority and
responsibility to coordinate the use of its limited
resources in the best possible manner. Many federal
agencies already have programs authorized by Congress
that are relevant to preserving our rivers. With the
American Heritage Rivers initiative, services provided
by these programs will be delivered more effectively.
Q. How can members of a community present their views
about as a potential nomination?
A. The nomination process will be fully controlled,
discussed and organized at the local level. The concerns
of all community members should be aired as the
nomination material is prepared. Communities
submitting applications should make opportunities
available for members of the public to comment on the
nomination. Concerns may in fact dissuade the
community from completing its nomination process and
if that is the case, then the process stops, appropriately,
at the local level.
Q. Is there a procedure to oppose the designation?
A. Opposition from elected officials would be evidence that
broad community support does not exist for an
application. Objections of individuals or interest grouts
would be considered within the totality of the
application and its supporters. Views of state, tribal and
local governments and congressional offices will be
fully considered.
Q. We're depending on a specific federal program for
resources, won't the American Heritage Rivers initiative
siphon resources from the program we depend on'?
A. No. The goal of American Heritage Rivers is to achieve
greater efficiency for all federal programs. It is
important to recognize, however, that in a balanced
budget world, federal spending will continue to be
limited. We believe the best way to prioritize limited
federal spending is through a community -led process.
Communities often know best what resources will
benefit them the most and, as such, deserve special
attention.
Q. Will the community have a role in choosing the River
Navigator?
A. Yes. The federal agencies will work with the community
to identify an appropriate person, to the extent that the
local needs and priorities identified by the designated
American Heritage Rivers community matches
programs and services of one or more of the
participating agencies. We expect the River Navigator
will be a federal employee.
Q. Is this a "land grab" for rivers?
A. Quite the contrary. This is an effort to increase local
access to federal programs that affect rivers, not to
increase federal management around rivers.
Communities come together and nominate their stretch
of river. This initiative supports community plans --
including economic development, revitalization,
environmental and public health protection, recreation
and job creation. To accomplish these goals, the
Administration will better coordinate federal
environmental, economic and cultural programs with the
communities along rivers, and give people better access
to existing federal resources. And, most importantly, the
federal government will respond directly to community
needs.
Q: Is it true that foreign governments or their international
organizations are involved in this initiative?
A. No. The American Heritage Rivers will be nominated by
American communities to celebrate their own historical
and cultural values.
Q: Is it true that the "River Navigator" is going to insert
himself or herself into local decisions in order to
"federalize" local functions like zoning?
A. No. The "River Navigator" will serve the community as
a liaison to the federal government. helping people
better understand how to access existing federal
resources.

This is in response to your August 1, 1997, inquiry regarding the status of the Tustumena Lake
Sockeye Salmon Enhancement Project. The public comment period on the draft Environmental
Assessment closed on August 1, 1997. Approximately 50 comments were received. Issues raised
by various organizations and by the public were addressed in the final EA and Refuge
Compatibility Determination. This resulted in a mitigated finding of no significant impact that
allowed for the project to be permitted as long as certain provisions are met. During the week of
August 3, 1997, all of the decision documents were signed and the project was approved. A
Refuge Special Use Permit was issued on August S, 1997, and an eg;--take operation commenced
the next day.
I would like to commend Cook Inlet Aquaculture Association, the Kenai National Wildlife
Refuge, the Kenai Fishery Resource Office, and the Alaska Department of Fish and Game for
their cooperative efforts on completing the necessary work to evaluate this project and agree on
acceptable mitigation measures. This was no small task, but has resulted in a project, that if all
standards continue to be met, will be acceptable to all parties.
If you ever have a desire to visit the Tustumena Project while visiting the Kenai Peninsula, or
would like to discuss this matter further, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,

Anchorage, AK 99503-5947
I appreciated the opportunity to participate with you in the discussion of the
Kenai River Management Plan before the Kenai Chamber Board of Directors.
Both you and Advisory Board Chairman Ben Ellis raised issues of concern on
the lower River. We believe these issues can be resolved without extension of
the KRSMA boundary. What follows are our proposals to do this, as well as
proposed language changes to address other issues of concern to our citizens.
1. We do not believe that inclusion of the bottom four miles of the river in the
KRSMA area has been justified in the plan. The City of Kenai recognizes
that there are issues that should be addressed involving the bottom four
miles, but we do not believe it is necessary to extend the park boundary to
handle these issues. The City of Kenai is willing to work through the
Advisory Board in identifying issues and developing strategies to address
them. In recognition that there are issues of mutual concern, we propose
that the following language be inserted on Page 102.
The lower four miles of the Kenai River downstream from the
Warren Ames Memorial Bridge was given strong consideration
for inclusion in the KRSMA boundary based on the
recommendation of the Advisory Board. It is not being
recommended for inclusion in KRSMA at this tLTne. Reasons for
inclusion included protection of habitat, management of
recreational conflicts, and an improved ability to deal with the
river as a complex hydrologic unit. Arguments against
inclusion were focused on the need to add an additional layer of
Bruce Phelps
October 8, 1997
Page 2
government and permitting, the uncertain economic effects
upon the seafood processors, and the perception that an
inadequate case was made for inclusion based on scientifically
supported evidence of any detrimental effect as a result of non -
inclusion since 1986. It has been determined that the approach
to be taken will be that the City of Kenai, through the Kenai
River Advisory Board, will negotiate memorandums of
understanding with the Borough and appropriate agencies
concerning activities on the bottom four miles of the river. This
may result in development and adoption of city ordinances
which will address issues of mutual concern. The effectiveness
of this approach will be reviewed by the Advisory Board over the
next three to five years. -
Other language in support of inclusion would need to be modified,
as well as deletion of language such as that on Page 104, 2.10
which sets out park rules that would be enforced.
2. The language as it relates to industry on Page 102 should be
modified so that the reader does not get the impression that
industry in the bottom four miles of the river exists as a result of a
"grandfather" type status. Specific language changes requested in
the last paragraph on Page 102 are as follows:
A. Delete word "current" in 4) which would then read
"recognizing the industrial uses ..."
B. In sentence 5) end the sentence at "... and the priority of
these uses." This would delete any reference to dates and
recognizes that fish processing has become a year round
activity in this area.
C. Rewrite 6) to read "recognizing and allowing industrial uses
to develop if the industrial use satisfies local, state, and
federal permitting requirements."
These changes would help alleviate the concerns of industry that
their use of the lower four miles of the river is acknowledged as
some form of "grandfather" status.
3. Zoning can be a very controversial issue in our area. The language
on Page 64 may generate a great deal of comment from Borough
Bruce Phelps
October 8, 1997
Page 3
residents. The City of Kenai requests the following changes be
made in the language as it applies to the City of Kenai.
A. In the first sentence under 4.5.3.4 delete " ... from Kenai
Lake to Cook Inlet." It is not possible to zone to Cook Inlet
without rezoning within the City of Kenai.
B. In the second paragraph under this section we request that
the last two sentences be modified to one and read as
follows: "Commercial uses would be treated as conditional
uses and industrial uses as prohibited uses on Borough
lands outside the cities of Kenai and Soldotna.
We do not represent that Borough residents would agree to the
zoning recommendations of the Advisory Board, but if they do, the
proposed modification of the language in this section would
acknowledge more fully that planning and zoning within the cities
of Kenai and Soldotna is a function of those cities.
4. On Pages 66-70 the reader could form the impression that the
theme is that only government ownership of land along the river
and tributaries will assure the protection of the river. We would
request that this language be reviewed. Specifically, we would
request language on Page 67, Recommendation 4.5.4.2 as it
applies to the City of Kenai be modified as follows:
A. Recommendation 4.5.4.2: The Borough and the cities of
Kenai and Soldotna, on a case by case basis, should
consider retention of properties in government ownership
that have been identified as having high habitat values and
classify them in the manner described above.
B. Page 67 "Background:" third sentence - "Retaining of specific
high habitat value properties in government ownership may
be deemed more desirable on a case by case basis than
disposing of the properties to the private sector." The last
sentence of this paragraph would then be deleted.
5. Wetlands regulations and developmental restrictions are as
controversial in our area as they are elsewhere in the state. Just
as our congressional delegation and previous state administrations
Bruce Phelps
October 8, 1997
Page 4
have argued, there is a belief within the community that present
wetlands regulations are too restrictive.
On Pages 80-84 it appears that agency input was received that
present restrictions and regulations are not sufficient. It was
represented that "many agencies view wetlands permitting as not
based on a solid scientific foundation" (Page 80). It is stated that
specific standards will be developed at a later time and added as
an amendment to this plan (Page 81). Pages 83-84 discuss
increased enforcement and new regulations.
We believe that a definitive statement needs to be incorporated into
this section that states a position similar to the following:
No new wetlands development restrictions or regulations are
recommended until such time as they can be scientifically
supported. Any that are determined to be scientifically
supported should be specifically targeted to areas of high
habitat value. No specific standards or regulations will be
added to the plan until those conditions have been met, and
a public review process has been conducted.
The City of Kenai is very interested in the continued health of the
Kenai River and is supportive of the Kenai River Advisory Board in
its efforts to meet that goal. Our objections to this plan as
presently drawn are meant to be constructive in nature, but we
cannot support the signing of the plan based on the above issues
of concern to our citizens. Your consideration of our comments
and suggestions is appreciated.

The Honorable Mark Hodgins
Alaska State Representative
145 Main Street Loop, Suite 221
Kenai, AK 99611
Dear Representative Hodgins:
The current Draft STIP list has set the Forest Drive/Redoubt Avenue
Rehabilitation project back yet another year. As you are aware, this is a project
of long standing interest to the City of Kenai, and of interest to the State of
Alaska as they have wanted the City to take over ownership and maintenance
of this road. Attached is a copy of Resolution No. 94-41 in which the City of
Kenai reaffirms its long standing position that it will assume responsibility for
ownership and maintenance once these roads are brought up to acceptable
standards. Also attached are copies of letters from the Regional Director of
DOT setting out the priority of the projects and proposed FY98 construction
funding.
In October of 1996 we were advised that construction on this project would
begin in 1998 with completion in 1999. The current Draft STIP list shows
construction in FY00, which is a setback of at least one year. This project has
been subject to rescheduling several times over the years and we find the
current proposed delay in construction unacceptable.
The funding level of the project has been increased to expand the scope of the
work. This is entirely appropriate. However, to further delay the project will
result in inflationary cost increases.
Representative Ma: Hodgins
October 8, 1997
Page 2
We request your assistance in having this project under construction as
originally scheduled. We also request that project funding be set at a level to
accomplish the needs set out in Resolution No. 94-41.
Your assistance in this matter is appreciated.
Sincerely,
CITY OF KENAI

Dear Mr. Phelps.

Facsimi le: 907-269-8902
The Kenai Chamber of Commerce represents the interests of 430 business members. Many of our
members represent a large spectrum of businesses that depend either directly or indirectly on the users
of the Kenai River.
As you know, the recently proposed revisions to the Kenai River Special Management Area
(KRSMA) Comprehensive Plan (Plan) have led to considerable debate in our community. As a result of
that debate, and the importance of the Kenai River to our Chamber members and community at -large,
the Greater Kenai Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors held two meetings to team more about the
issues raised by the proposed revisions to the Plan. The meetings were attended by agency
representatives from DNR, Division of Parks, the KRSMA Board, local municipal officials and a
variety of interest groups and industry representatives. The discussion clearly exposed the complexity
of balancing the rivers long-term health with economic interests competing within our community.
Based cn our meetings, th a Kenai Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors voted to endorse the
position taken by the Kenai city Council in their Resolution 97-65 on October 3,1997_ We cannot
however, support the signing of the Plan until the concerns previously stated are properly addressed.
The Board recognizes the need for a coordinated approach to ensuring the goal of the Plan is met. We
believe however, the issues raised by the City of Kenai, as well as other lower river users, are
important and certainly need to be addressed prior to adoption of the revised Plan.
W i th the concerns of our members and community in mind, we respectfully request that
Commissioner Shively not sign the Kenai Comprehensive Management Plan as currently drafted. More
specifically, we are opposed to the recommendation that extends KRSMA to include the bottom four(4)
miles of the River. It is the Board's position that existing regulatory options are available that will
resolve user issues or access concerns without the extension of the KRSMA boundary.
Further, the Board believes that theCity of Kenai and loca I industry has ra ised va I id concerns
about the language which addresses wetland regulations, zoning, and land ownership. We request that
the language within the PIan be reviewed to assure any recommendation that results In a possible
intrusion on property rights, be scientifically justified, and narrowly drawn to address areas of high
habitat value.

Kenai Chamber of Commerce
KRSMA Comments
Page 2
W e add itionally request the language that addresses the presence of industry on the lower
reach of the River be modified, hopefully with the participation of the City of Kenai and existing
industry representatives. Industry on the lower four(4) miles of the River should be recognized as a
valid use in the area and be allowed to develop as long as it meets all local, state, and federal
permitting requirements. This continuation of current use should be a dear statement or recommendation
in the Plan. With this in mind, the Board believes that the language in the Plan should be revised so
that it does not give any reader the impression that the existing commercial fishing processing industry
exists in a Grandfather" statue.
In closing 1 want to applaud the work of the KRSMA in preparing the draft Plan. The Board,
however, can not support the adoption of the Plan as currently proposed until the very legitimate
concerns of our members and community are addressed.
On behalf of our Board, I want to thank you for the opportunity to comment on the KRSMA
Plan. I appreciate your careful consideration of the issues we have raised and stand ready to provide
additional information from the Board if needed.
