ITEM B: SCHEDULED PUBLIC COMMENT
B-1. Lynn Johnson - United Way Presentation.
Ms. Johnson introduced herself as the Executive Director of the
Kenai Peninsula United Way. Johnson referred to her letter
included'in the packet and requested council to continue the
employee matching incentive program which was approved last year
by council. She explained, the matching program of the city's
allowed a match of employees' donations by the city at $.50 on
the dollar. Through last year's city matching program, $2,437
was donated to the United Way from the city and its employees.
Johnson added, last year nine employees participated in the
program and she hoped more would participate this year.
Councilwoman Swarner asked if funds were included in the budget
for the matching program. Acting Finance Director Feltman
answered no.
MOTION:
Student Councilmember Richardson MOVED to approve the
continuation of the United Way matching grant program at $.50 on
the $1.00 up to $2,000. Student Councilmember Freas SECONDED the
motion.
Mayor Williams noted that since funds were not included in the
budget for the matching program, council could either appropriate
funds now or wait until the amount of donations would be known.
Williams reminded council that the agencies who requested funds
from council during the budget sessions were independent
agencies. The recipient agencies for funds gathered from city
employees this year were within the city and he wholeheartedly
supported the matching program.

There were no objections from the city councilmembers. SO
ORDERED.
B-2. Howard Dorsey - Snow Removal Concerns.
Mr. Dorsey introduced himself and stated he resided at 201
Portlock, Kenai. Dorsey passed out copies of a letter he
prepared in regard to his concern. Dorsey stated a notice had
been published in the Clarion which referred to KMC 13.30.065,
and read "...it shall be a violation for any person to deposit or
cause to be deposited any snow or ice against a fire hydrant or
on any sidewalk, roadway, or any loading or unloading areas of
the public transportation system."
Dorsey stated, by following this ordinance, it should also be a
violation for city workers to deposit snow into driveways. He
believed. the gates were placed on the graders to prevent snow
from being deposited into driveways. He didn't believe the gates
were always used or used correctly. The depositing of snow in
his driveway by the graders was a bit of a hindrance to remove in
the evening after he: got home from work, especially if it was wet
snow. He added, them there's a three foot berm in his driveway.
Dorsey continued, if' his wife went out and removed the berm in
the afternoon, she ran the risk of further injuring her right
arm. The gates are to prevent the berms. Dorsey noted the berms
were also a problem for senior citizens in that their trying to
remove the berms put: their lives at risk. He would like the
gates to be used properly and the drivers to receive proper
training to insure the problem would be alleviated. He added, he
knew some berms could not be avoided and was not asking for a
complete clean in front of the driveway, but one to two feet of
snow was an aggravation.
Student Councilmember Richardson asked how the big berms were in
front of his driveway. Dorsey answered, one to three feet. City
Manager DeMello asked what Dorsey was requesting. Dorsey
answered, he would like the gates, which were installed on the
graders, to be used as they were designed to be used. When used
properly, there would be minimal snow left.
Acting Public Works Director La Shot was asked for his comments.
La Shot stated the operators were not able to return to check the
driveway in question because when Dorsey called with his
complaint, he would not give his address. He stated, he would
have the neighborhood checked to see if there were any consistent
problems and if the operators had missed any driveways or used

CITY OF KENAI
Resolution 97 - 65
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF KENAI OBJECTING TO THE ADOPTION OF
THE KENAI RIVER. COMPREHENSIVE MANAGEMENT PLAN, AS REVISED
SEPTEMBER 1997, HEREIN REFERRED TO AS THE PLAN.
WHEREAS, Alaskans have been justified in their criticism of the federal
government's oven. regulation and restrictions on land use in our state; and
WHEREAS, the current state administration would warrant the same criticism
if many of the recommendations of the Plan are adopted without a showing of
scientific necessity; and
WHEREAS, the Plan recommends that land along the Kenai River and its
tributaries owned by the borough and cities be zoned as preservation, the
most restrictive of classifications (4.5.4.1; 4.5.4.2; 4.5.4.5.1); and
WHEREAS, the Plan acknowledges that many of these lands come into
government ownership through foreclosures on private properties and
recommends that these lands not be returned to the private sector who
cannot be trusted with their ownership (4.5.4.2); and
WHEREAS, government already owns 88% of the land in Alaska and it is
objectionable for this administration to recommend adding to this by taking
land out of the private sector; and
WHEREAS, present wetlands requirements are stringent enough, and often
too stringent in their application, a position which previous state
administrations have also represented to the federal government; and
WHEREAS, this Plan promotes the concept without giving any scientific
support that present regulations are not sufficient, and promotes the future
amendment of the Plan with more stringent regulations that will adversely
impact private property owners throughout the Kenai watershed (4.5.5.9); and
WHEREAS, the Plan promotes the inclusion of more lands throughout the
Kenai watershed into the KRSMA boundaries, including the bottom four miles
of the Kenai River without adequate justification other than it is there.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
KENAI, ALASKA that the city of Kenai strongly encourages all property owners
along the Kenai River, its tributaries, associated lakes and wetlands to read
the Plan as its recommendations and future regulations may affect their
private property rights; and
FURTHER, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI,
ALASKA supports valid scientifically supported regulations that promote the
continued health and vitality of the Kenai River, but opposes the adoption of
this Plan because in its implementation it would result in over -regulation of
private and public property without a demonstrated showing of scientific need
to justify further government intrusion into the lives of its citizens.

RE: Financial Analysis for the Draft Airport Master Plan for the Kenai
Municipal Airport
Enclosed is the revised Financial Analysis (Pages 6-8 through 6-22) for the draft Airport
Master Plan for the Kenai Municipal Airport. Please note that Pages 6-9 and 6-10 are the
Airport Phasing Plan graphic and are not included. Based on discussions with the City's
F+ri *+cp Director, revisions to the Financial Analysis were made as follows:
■ Table 6-4--the forecast interest revenue was decreased and the maintenance and
operation expenses increased under the Airport Land System Special Revenue
Fluid. Granges were made to the text on Pages 6-16 and 6-17 reflecting these
changes.
■ The estimated revenues from Passenger Facility Charges have been revised to $1.3
million (decreased from $1.7 million) based on the City receiving 75 percent of
total PFCs charged. This revision is on page 6-20.
Please call me if you have any questions or require additional information.

6.3 FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
This section describes the financial considerations of the Phased Development and
Capital Improvement Program recommended for the Kenai Municipal Airport to meet
estimated Phase I (1997-2001), Phase H (2002-2006), and Phase Ili (2007-2015)
capital improvement funding requirements. Because of the uncertainties involved in
forecasting financial data and precise implementation dates of capital improvement
projects, detailed financial planning is usually limited to three to five years. therefore,
only the initial phase of the recommended airport development plan is discussed in
detail. The financial implications of proceeding with the development plan beyond
Phase I are discussed in general terms at the end of this section.
The fivancial analysis is initially presented as a statement of historical revenues and
expenses from Fiscal Year Ending 1994 to Fiscal Year Ending 1997. The historical
financial data presented have been prepared on the basis of information and
assumptions set forth in the text. These rely on information and assumptions from the
sources indicated without further verification of such data. The historical operating
and nonoperating revenues and expenses have been prepared based on information
provided by the Astnual Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund
Balance of the City of Kenai. FY1997 is based on the City's Current Budget.
6.3.1. Historical Revenues and Expenses
Table 6-3 presents a summary of historical operating revenues and expenses from
FY1994 to FY1996. The propose of the table is to summarize the historical annual
operating results of the Airport Land System Special Revenue Fund and the Airport
Terminal Enterprise Fund which have been combined to provide a basis for assessing
the ability of the City to meet future requirements to fund the Capital Improvement
Program from operating sources.
The Airport Land System Special Revenue Fund accounts for revenues and expenses
associated with the airfield and aviation and nonaviation leases on airport property.
Revenues from the sale of airport property over the years have been placed in the
Special Revenue Fund. Based on the grant deed for the Airport, the principal from
sales of airport land will remain in the Special Revenue Fund while the interest on
principal is considered a source of operating revenue for the Airport.
The Airport Terminal Enterprise Fund accounts for revenues and expenses associated
with the operating and maintenance of the terminal building. The sources of revenues
include airline leases and the restaurant. Commissions are received based on the

concessionaire agreements with the rental car companies. Vehicle parking fees are
collected for use. of the long-te= vehicular parking lot, and miscellaneous other
revenue is received from various advertising in the terminal building.
Historically, the combined funds have provided an average annual net income of over
$740,000 over the three-year period (excluding the non -reoccurring litigation revenue
of $501,447 in FY1996). Income from interest on the Special Revenue Fund has
accounted for thu; largest share of revenues averaging 52 percent an an annual basis.
Personal services and other services and charges have accounted for the largest share
of expenses averaging 47 percent on an annual basis, while depreciation expenses have
averaged 19 percent of total operating expenses. Total operating expenses have
averaged 59 percent of operating revenues over the historical three-year period.
Nonoperating revenues include the interest on investments for the Terminal Enterprise
Fund and have averaged $58,300 over the past three years.
63.2 Forecast Revenues and Expenses
Table 6-4 presents the projections of airport financial operations for the initial five-
year Phase I development period. Totals for FYI 997 reflect the current budget while
PY1998 reflect the City Council Approved Budget. Projections for FY1999, FY2000,
and FY2001 reflect a set of assumptions under which there would be no major
changes or improvements in tenantluser rates and charges or lease policies except as
noted. Specifically, the projections are based on the following general assumptions:
• All sources of income derived from airport users will be credited to the Airport
funds and will be used only for maintaining, operating and improving the
Airport as required by Federal Grant Assurances.
• No major capital improvement projects will be undertaken during the five-year
forecast period other than those included in the Capital improvement Program.
• The projected dollars are based on 1997 dollar values.
• Overall aviation demand forecasts presented in Chapter 2 will be realized.
• The development of facilities recommended in this report will be implemented
and managed to produce the maximum net revenue to the Airport funds
consistent with providing reasonable levels of public facilities and services.

All present leases and agreements will continue in force with no major changes
in their financial provisions.
Projected operating revenues are based on the following assumptions:
-__�.•� .ro• -u _ •-_ . •
• Land rents and leases, including penalties and interest, will increase consistent
with existing leases and agreements.
• Landing fees of the commercial operators will increase as activity increases and
the use of larger aircraft increases. (Landing fees are based on the gross take-
off weight to the nearest 1,000 pounds x $0.25 with a minimum landing fee of
$25.00 per month per commercial operator plus tax).
• Revenues from short-term renting of space for the annual fish -haul season are
estimated to remain the same as in the FY1997-1998 budget with no significant
increases.
• Interest revenue will decrease as funds are expended for the Alaskan Regional
Aircraft ,and Firefighting 'raining Center (ARFF Training Center).
• Revenue's from other sources are estimated to remain the same as in the three-
year historical period.
Rents and leases for the terminal building are estimated to remain the same
over the forecast period with no major changes in the terminal facility.
Commissions are revenues received as a result of the rental car concessionaire
agreements. Commissions and vehicle parking fees are estimated to increase
commensurate with increased passenger activity.
Other revenue includes advertising in the terminal building and is estimated to
remain the same over the forecast period.
Projected operating expenses are based on the following assumptions:
r o
• The FYI 997 is based on the current operating budget for the combined funds,
and the FY1998 budget is based on the City Council Approved budget for
FY1997-.1998.

Airport Land &W:em Special Rev nue Fund
• Adjustments have been made to the maintenance and operation expenses in
FY1997 and FY1998 to account for expenses paid by the City's general fund
for airport related expenses, including insurance. These expenses are expected
to increase over the remaining three years. Maintenance and operation
expenses will be higher than they have been historically as the Taxiway C
extension, relocation of the grass strip and new access road will add utility
expenses for the additional lighting, increased insurance premiums, and an
increase in overall maintenance and operating expenses.
• Administration of the Airport Land System Special Revenue Fund is expected
to increase an estimated 4 percent annually as increasing City time and
expenses will be required as construction of the ARFF Training Center comes
on line.
• Land expenses are forecast to remain at current levels over the forecast period.
Abort Terminal Enterprise Fund
• Total expenses associated with operating the terminal building are expected to
increase an estimated 4 percent annually with an increase in passenger activity.
Nonoperating revenues include interest on investments in the Airport Terminal
Enterprise Fund which are estimated to decrease as the fund balance is used to
implement development of the ARFF Training Center.
Based on the forecast revenues and expenses presented in Table 6-4, an estimated $1.7
million in net loss will occur in the combined funds during the initial five-year phase
of implementing the Capital Improvement Program.
The Capital Improvement Program presented in Table 6-1 identifies a $3.4 million
requirement from the City to fund Phase I improvements, including over $3 million
for the ARFF Training Center. An estimated $339,000 is required to fund the balance
of the Capital Improvement Program. The City has identified the funding sources for
the extension of Parallel Taxiway C, relocation of the grass/gravel landing strip, and
the new access road and security gate to the gravel strip.
Based on the forecast revenues and expenses presented in Table 6-4, the combined
funds will not operate with sufficient revenues to fund the Capital Improvement
Program. Based on conversations with representatives of the City, the City has
already identified capital fund balances of $7.3 million in the Airport Land System
6-17

P.11/15
5p�ia1 Revenue Fund, $1.1 million in the Airport Terminal Enterprise Fund, and an
estimated receipt of $2.5 million in FAA Airport Improvement Program (AIP)
entitlement funds over the next five years to fund the City's matching share of Capital
Improvement Program projects. To date, the City has committed over $700,000 to
initiate development of the ARFF 'raining Center.
To date, the City has not initiated the removal of the two 12,000-gallon jet fuel tanks
adjacent to the terminal building. The deadline to upgrade Underground Storage Tank
(UST) systems is Eftember 22,1998. Owners and operators of existing UST systems
must have leak detection and install cathodic protection and spill/overfill devices.
Otherwise, the tanks must be permanently closed. The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) has made it clear that they will not extend the December 22, 1998
deadline. Because there are a limited number of firms in the State certified to upgrade
or close tanks, it :may be difficult to obtain equipment and materials necessary to
comply with EPA guidelines as the deadline draws closer.
6.33 Recommendations Based on the Financial Analyses
A variable of particular importance in a financial analysis for a program of this type
is the level of user fees and rental rates upon which projections of operating revenues
are based. Future user rates and charges based on existing agreements are assumed
in the analysis; however, it is appropriate to consider the estimated impact of new and
improved facilities and services at the Airport. It is recommended that an overall lease
review and evaluation be performed and lease policy guidelines be prepared for the
future administration of the Airport. The lease review and evaluation and
recommendations and future guidelines would serve as the basis for establishing
methodologies for calculating rates and charges for airport users and tenants.
The City should consider the preparation of annual traffic and earnings reports to
carefully monitor, the physical and financial growth of the Kenai Municipal Airport
and to provide management with supporting documentation necessary to exercise day-
to-day and long-term management decisions. Traffic and earnings reports monitor the
annual activities at the Airport and the revenues and expenses associated with those
activities.
There are a number of parcels available for sale and/or lease within the Airport
property. The City should consider the preparation of a Strategic Business Plan and
Marketing Program to promote the development of aviatioa and nonaviation related
�- businesses at the Airport, The Strategic Business Plan defines the highest and best use
of the Airport prroperdes within the economic development strategies of the Airport
and the City, and the Marketing Program establishes the parameters for attracting these
activities to the Airport. The sale of additional parcels would increase the principal
6-18
SEP 09 '97 04:28PM ARIES CONSULTANTS
P.12/15
in the Airport Land System Special Revenue Fund, thereby increasing the interest on
investments. Leaning additional parcels would provide increasing revenues for further
development of the Airport.
63.4 Alternative Methods of Financing Airport Capital Improvements
There are a variety of sources from which potential financing for airport facilities may
be obtained, including Federal Crrants-in-Aid, State Legislative Grants, private
financing, and in some instances, the sale of general obligation and/or revenue bonds.
The major financial resources available to the City of Kenai, representing alternative
means of financing airport development, are described below. Any of the following
alternative methods of financing or any combination of the following methods, may
be considered by the City.
6.3.4.1 Federal Grants -in -Aid
The current grant program, known as the Airport Improvement Program (AIP), was
established by the; Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 1992. It provides funding
for airport planning and development under a single program, unlike the prior 1970
Airport and Airway Development Act. The Airport and Airway Trust Fund, which
was established by the Airport and Airway Revenue Act of 1970, provides the
revenues used to fund AIP projects. Taxes or user fees are collected from the various
segments of the aviation community and placed in the Trust Fund. The 1982 Act, as
amended in 1987, 1990, 1992, 1994, and 1996 authorizes the use of monies from the
Airport and Airway Trust Fund to make grants under the AIP.
71ie Airport and Airway Safety and Capacity Expansion Act of 1997 amended the
Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 1982. Under the 1987 Act, as amended, the
Kenai Municipal Airport is eligible for AIP grants under the "primary Airport"
category. The primary airport is a commercial service airport that has more than
10,000 enplaned, passengers annually. Each primary airport is apportioned an
entitlement grant based on the number of annual enplaned passengers, with a minimum
entitlement of $500,000 which can be used for all FAA -eligible projects. In addition,
a primary airport is eligible to compete for discretionary funds - funds available for
any eligible airport.
Projects eligible for FAA AIP funding at the current levels are identified in Table 6-1,
Capital Improvement Program.
Revenues for eligible projects received by the City from AIP entitlement grants have
totaled about $500,000 on an annual basis since 1991 with over $700,000 received in
1996. Although the Federal Aviation Authorization Act of 1996 has authorized
J
SEP 09 '97 04:29PM ARIES CONSULTANTS
P.13/15
funding at $1.46 billion for grants-in-aid for airports in FY1997, the Clinton
administration has proposed reducing these grants to $1.0 billion in FY1998. The $1.0
billion is a significant reduction over the average $1.6 billion funded annually from
FY1990 through FY1995. FAA AIP grants are funded out of the Aviation Trust Fund
which is funded by aviation excise taxes. Although Congress has recently reinstated
the aviation excise taxes, the taxes have been allowed to expire in the past causing
concern that the FAA's ability to fund capital programs will be compromised.
This is the latest in the uncertainty that surrounds the future of FAA AN grants.
Although the aviation industry continues its efforts to support the continuation of the
aviation excise taxes and funding of the FAA AIP to the maximum levels feasible, this
source of funding; for capital improvement projects at the Airport may be greatly
reduced in the future.
The Aviation Safety and Capacity Expansion Act of 1990 provides public agencies
with a commercial service airport (2,500 or more annual enplaned passengers) the
authorization to impose a Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) ranging from $1 to $3 per
enplaned passenger. Revenues from PFCs can be used only on FAA -approved eligible
projects, including debt service and bond financing costs, and for the agency's
matching FAA A]? funds. The agency's authority to impose PFCs would expire when
the PFC revenues plus interest equal the allowable project costs. The agency must
reapply to extend the PFC program to fund additional projects. Based on the aviation
demand forecasts presented in Chapter 2, the City could receive revenues of $1.3
million from FY1998 through FY2001 through implementation of the Passenger
Facility Charge of $3 per enplaned passenger (based on the City receiving 75 percent
of total PFCs charged).
6.3.4.2 State of Maska Legislative Grants
in 1991, the State Legislature initiated a policy written into the capital budget to
provide 50 percent of the local matching funds for municipally -owned airports. The
City has received State grants for local matching funds in the past. Based on
conversations with State representatives, the capital budget will continue into FY1998;
however, because this budget has lapsed in the past, it is not realistic to expect the 50
percent matching funds in the future.
The State estimates there are sufficient monies available to fund FY1997 projects
including the Alaskan Regional Aircraft and Firefighting Training Center at Kenai.
It should be noted that the City has a $104,000 receivable from the State that is not
part of any matching local funds.
6-20
SEP 09 '97 04:29PM ARII7S CONSULTANTS P.14i15
6.3.4.3 Airport Land System Special Revenue Fund and Terminal Enterprise Fund
Financing airport improvements by direct appropriation from the City Airport Funds
is the most realistic method of financing development not eligible for Federal Grants -
in -Aid or for providing the matching 6.25 percent City requirement for grants as such
financing eliminates interest payments. For airport capital improvements, the Airport
Funds appropriations are made through the regular budgeting process or as a special
budget item should the need arise.
6.3.4.4 Private Financing
The importance of the Airport to local economic development is enhanced with active
involvement on the part of both the City and the private business community. The
City may require that all exclusive -use facilities such as commercial aviation/fixed
base operator facilities be provided and financed by the tenant. The City would
receive ground rental while the leaseholder would receive the gross revenues and be
responsible for the operational expenses and debt service obligation, Private financing
places the burden of financing on the tenant while increasing the value of the Airport
which will, in turn, add to its economic attractiveness.
Although the Capital Improvement Program does not provide for additional hangars
on the Airport until Phase E , construction of hangars on the Airport is a potential
development opportunity for the City. The City could consider leasing airport land
to private interests to develop hangars, or the City could consider developing hangars
for rent or lease to aircraft owners, The development of hangars at the Airport would
provide additiowa revenues to the City, either in land rents if privately developed, or
hangar rents if developed with City funds. The City would incur significant costs to
develop City -owned hangars. Alternatively, with private development, the City would
receive ground rental revenue while the leaseholder would receive the gross revenues
and be responsible for the operational expenses and debt service obligation.
6.35 Financial Considerations of the Phase II and Phase III Capital Improvement
Program
Beyond Phase I, it is assumed that development of the Airport will proceed according
to the priorities proposed in the recommended Airport Phasing Plan. It is also
assumed that the implementation of Phase II and Phase 1H projects will be arranged
UD be compatible with the financing sources and capability of the City, as identified
at the time of implementation, without regard to the technical requirements that may
be demonstrated.
6-21
SEP 09 '97 04:90PM ARIES CONSULTANTS
P.15/15
It should be recognized that the financial feasibility of projects in the later phases will
be linked to the overall management of the Airport in the short -tern, the provisions
of existing leases and agreements in effect, funding levels and participation rates of
Federal Grants -in -)did and State Legislative grants, and periodic review by the City
of its lease policies and rates and charges policies.

OLD BUSINESS:
1. Rose of the Week
Porter advised there: are three recipients to date. Porter stated she thinks it
has been well received.
NEW BUSINESS:
1. Pet Issue/Vintage Pointe
Porter advised a teriant had a visitor who brought a dog which was running
loose. The tenant was advised by manager that pets were not allowed and
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
say that visitors can't bring pets. Porter asked if they wanted to discuss
whether or not to add this to the lease.
HUDDLESTON MOVED THAT VISITORS NOT BE ALLOWED TO BRING IN
PETS BE ADDED TO THE PREVIOUS RULES. ENFIELD SECONDED
MOTION.

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.
VOTE: UNANIMOUS
Hollier asked who is responsible to see that pets do not come in. Porter
stated that tenants will report it and it will be the responsibility of the tenant
to see it doesn't happen. If they allow it to continue, the tenant runs the risk
of 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.
3. Board Vacancy
Porter advised they have had three people apply. Huddleston asked if this
was to take Georgetta Funk's place and Porter confirmed this. Applicants
are: Stanley Lange, Pauline Gross, Sylvia Johnson
Decision to take this up at next meeting.

Minutes September 9, 1997
4. Smoking/Deposit... Vintage Pointe
Porter stated they need to decide if they want to charge a larger deposit for
smokers. Porter noted they had to renovate an apartment recently that cost
$5,000.
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 staging 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. Eventually, then
they wouldn't have any smokers. Nelson advised she felt there would be a
Council on Aging Page 4
Minutes September 9, 1997
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.
5. Appreciation BBQIOctober 9"
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
change the date. Porter suggested November 6`h, Thursday. Decision to
hold the BBQ on November 6th at 6:30 p.m.
Pease suggested that they have two entrees on the menu.

5. PERSONS SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD
a. Corey Hall - Summer Reading Program:
Peters introduced Corey Hall who supervised the summer reading
program. Hall reported the program theme was baseball and players
from the Peninsula Oilers participated by attending weekly functions
and encouraging the children to continue reading. Hall went on to say
that approximately 60 kids showed up each week and activities included
reading stories, doing crafts and guest speakers from the Oilers. Carr's
Quality Center and Kenai Chrysler donated Oiler tickets and these were
handed out at some of the weekly functions.
The end of season party was held July 28 and approximately 100 people
attended. Kenai Chrysler Center donated hot dogs, McDonald's provided
drinks, Friends of the Library provided many great prizes, and members
from the Oilers played baseball with the kids. It was noted that a greater
percentage of the children completed the program this year. The cost of
the program was approximately $500.00.
Hall reported that she is still working on a theme for next year's
program. She is considering doing something with recycling and using
the items left over from previous years.
6. REPORTS
a. Director
DeForest handed out a copy of the monthly management report prior to
the meeting.
DeForest reported that on her second trip this summer she toured the
Microsoft Library and the Historical Museum. DeForest shared
information about the Microsoft grants and she thought it would be
easier to get a grant if the unit was larger. She thought cooperation from
the schools would be helpful.
DeForest stated the Library attended the Industrial Day Picnic events.
Staff wore! library shirts and had a booth where tickets and books were
raffled.
DeForest handed out a flyer covering the September library schedule.
Highlighted were the first of two genealogy classes to begin September
10; the w-iters' group starting September 4; Ice Cream Day for the
children on September 22. (Hall contacted McDonald's and they donated
LIBRARY COMMISSION MEETING
SEPTEMBER 2, 1997
PAGE 2
100 ice cream cones); and Banned Book Week, beginning September 20.
DeForest pointed out the books are not actually banned, it has just been
suggested they be banned. When asked what the purpose of Banned
Book Week was DeForest explained various organizations request that
some books be banned and this alerts the public to those titles.
DeForest stated a Communications Act was passed earlier in the year
which should decrease the telephone bills by approximately 60%. The
telephone: bills are currently over $800 per month and less than half of
that are Internet charges. DeForest went on to say the report from the
State is 32 pages long and very time consuming to complete. However,
once complete it will be forwarded to the State and they will do the
negotiation for the discount in the rates. DeForest pointed out it will be
a credit discount and not monetary.
Brenckle asked if the discount would be reflected in next year's budget.
Deforest answered that she hoped it would not because the federal
government didn't send out their forms yet and it may take some time
before the discount is actually seen.
b. Friends of the Library:
Heus reported that Friends had a special meeting in August for the purpose
of discussing publicity for the raffle and to hand out the tickets which are
now being sold. The next meeting is scheduled for September 8, 1997 and
Heus handed out the agenda. Discussion was held on ticket sales and it
was pointed out that publicity hasn't really started yet and so far response
had been slow. Heus pointed out the ticket sales effort will be a real
challenge,
7. OLD BUSINESS
C. Public Relations Committee:
Peters reminded the group that O'Reilly introduced the concept for a
public relations committee at the last meeting and since some members
were absent it was brought back for further discussion. The purpose of
having a public relations committee is to keep the library and its various
activities :in the eyes of the community. Peters stated volunteers were
needed to serve on the committee. Peters and Brenckle volunteered to
be on the committee and indicated that perhaps O'Reilly would also
participate.
LIBRARY COMMISSION MEETING
SEPTEMBER 2, 1997

S.
Heus stated that it appeared the items suggested would not have any
monetary obligation except for the Chamber luncheons and some type of
reimbursement would be required. Peters indicated reimbursement
would indeed be required unless a Commissioner was a member of the
Chamber then there would be no charge.
A lengthy discussion was held on the purpose of the committee and the
need to keep the library and its many activities in the eyes of the
community. It was suggested that the addition not be mentioned
constantly. However, other library activities and staff members could be
highlighted. Other suggestions included focusing on what local
celebrities are reading, taking quotes from the post cards that people are
currently using with regard to the library, taking information from the
Library Director's monthly report about circulation, focusing on other
activities such as the toddler lap story time, etc., and limiting the
articles to once or twice per month.
Peters stated the first order of business for the public relations
committee will be to select a name. The committee will provide a full
report on their activities at the next meeting.
a. Discussion - Alliance with Other Local Libraries and Schools
(computer networks)
Peters reminded the group that at the last meeting it was suggested a
joint meeting between the Peninsula libraries be held to share ideas,
discuss goals and perhaps discuss a joint proposal for Microsoft funding.
DeForest stated she got the impression that Microsoft is looking for
cooperative grants in order to put computers in a larger area and they
are also looking for community involvement. She went on to say that all
the schools want to become computerized and a Microsoft grant will pay
for the technical aspects from design and placement. A Microsoft grant
could total up to $3 million. DeForest added, if the schools get a system,
she would. very much like this library to be connected.
Heus stated, it may be time to consider a joint venture between
communities for the purpose of being linked through computers but
there are so many things needing consideration. A group discussion
was held on bringing the other libraries together for a joint meeting and
whether or not they would cooperate. Several ideas were shared to
include drafting a letter to see how much interest could be generated
from other libraries and the school district; checking with the Borough
LIBRARY COMMISSION MEETING
SEPTEMBER 2, 1997
PAGE 4
to see how far they would be willing to go with regard to automation;
having a special commission meeting to set parameters and develop an
agenda; and forming another committee to research the feasibility of
joint ventures. After this lengthy group discussion it was decided that
this item be postponed for at least two months as there are other items
that should have priority.
DeForest indicated that this library is not necessarily the one that needs
help as there is already a fairly good communication system. However, it
does not communicate with other libraries. DeForest went on to say
that she was invited by the school district to evaluate various
automation programs. DeForest thought at that time the school district
was under the impression that this was going to Bond this fall but it did
not get put on the ballot. She was unsure whether it was forgotten or if
the school district chose not to go on the ballot. DeForest reiterated, a
Microsoft grant would be nice but it is not necessarily needed except to
enhance the library's communication capabilities.
DeForest reported the State of Alaska has been pursuing a statewide
library card system for some time and the issue is still on their agenda
for further discussion. She pointed out the one problem they are faced
with is who would pay for a delinquent book that was taken out by a
person that did not live in the community. DeForest stated the
advantage of a statewide system is it not only provides an accounting of
all the books in the State but it also provides an accounting of the
patrons as well.
Discussion took place on whether or not the next meeting, which is scheduled
for October 7, be canceled as it is election night. It was decided that the
meeting will be held as they never canceled a meeting before for election night.
Forbes reiterated;, Fahnholz needed to a contacted and asked if she wants to
continue as the student representative. Heus pointed out there are relatively
new standards for attendance and wanted to know how the City responds to
that. Moore answered., the City Clerk submits attendance records to Council
on a regular basis and if someone is absent more than three consecutive times
then they will receive a letter stating that is not acceptable. It was decided a
phone call to the student would be appropriate and DeForest will make the
call.
Heus wanted to know if McNair invited the Borough's technology person to a
meeting to give a presentation since it was in the August 5 minutes that she
would. It was unclear whether or not that was accomplished.

WORK SESSION
A brief work session was held after the regular meeting was canceled.
The group reviewed the park improvement list and it was determined that most
projects should not be very expensive. It was suggested the brush be cleared from
Beaver Creek Park. Wisniewski recommended a questionnaire be handed out to local
groups to determine whether or not they would be interested in assisting with any
renovations.
A lengthy discussion was held on the Bernie Huss Fitness Trail and it was suggested
the equipment be moved to another area because of the extreme vandalism the occurs
at Bernie Huss. All agreed that the equipment be placed in an area where it would
get more use. East Kenai Park and the recreation center were possible locations. It
was also suggested the entire area at Bernie Huss Fitness Trail be cleared and picnic
tables be installed to attract workers in that area. The Huss family should be notified
before anything is done..
Discussion took place on areas for an ice rink. These areas included the area by the
golf course, the lot by the high school, mental health lands, and the Oilers area.
With regard to capital expenditures, Frates stated that anything over $50,000 would
be discussed at the September 10 goals and objectives meeting. Discussion was held
on a van for Parks and :Rec and it was determined the van would be most beneficial as
it would be used for tours, conference trips out of town, more area access for children,
etc. Frates indicated that he would look for grants and see if he could get assistance
from the oil companies.
Discussion was held on lighting the ski trails. The expense is quite high but could be
shared with golf club owners, Oilers, etc.
Lysa McCauley discussed the aerobics program at the rec center and the instructor
training she received. The program will start on October 6. The purchase of a health
assessment computer program was also discussed.
Frates stated that floor renovations will begin on the basketball and racquet ball
courts. It is possible the facility will be shut down for a couple of days to
accommodate the work..
Frates reported the food service inspection scored 100%.

Ross explained he and members of administration, had been in discussions with FAA
for the past several days. The city has usually used "entitlement funds" which are
known amounts in the bank, and the monies they have been discussing are
"discretionary funds" and these funds are used in stages. In his discussions with
Symtron, he was told all their 13 projects (building similar ARFF facilities) have been
done in stages as Kenai's ARFF is to be done.
Ross continued, at this time, the project was $1.7 million over the estimated cost of
the project; $1.3 million was attributed to the training building and the city is a 20%
participant in that building and otherwise, a 31/8% participant. He added, $400,000 of
the $1.3 overage was in an audio-visual package which was not included in the
original engineer's estimate, according to Morrison Maierle (project engineer). Ross
noted, Morrison Maierle stated they were not aware of the added costs until two days
prior to the bid opening. The city was not aware of it, council was not aware of it and
neither was the FAA. 1;:oss added, FAA will not participate in the $400,000 audio-
visual package. However, administration fully anticipates the $400,000 cost for the
audio-visual package will be reduced significantly. He noted, the Modesto facility has
a $30,000 package and the Kansas City facility approximately $50,000.
Ross continued, administration will submit a grant for full funding which will
represent the two ordinances (Ordinance No. 1756-97, and a previous ordinance for
$740,000). According to FAA, there is $3 million in the bank for the project at this
time; $680,000 of it is for Symtron (for utilities and other infrastructure) and $2.1
million for immediate start of the project. As of September 30 (FAA's year-end), FAA
will request an additional $6 million for this project. FAA has told Ross the city would
receive the $6 million, but won't put that in writing. Ross added, he asked FAA what
would happen if the city does not receive the $6 million and was told, if it does not
come in September, you'll get $3 million and the- remaining $3 million in February.

Ross continued, Symtron says, if FAA states you will get the $6 million, it's as good as
a hand -shake. Ross noted, this is not the way the city has funded any other project.
Continuing, Ross stated, even if the $6 million comes to the city, it still leaves the city
$1.45 million short. If FAA does not fund that immediately as part of the project,
Symtron has agreed to :lay over the safety trainer, which is about the equivalent, until
the FY 99 cycle which v1 October, 1998. The rest of the project could proceed.
Williams mentioned, in their discussions with representatives from the Helena,
Montana facility, after some funding concerns, their project proceeded in the same
manner. He added, it seemed to be the method of operation with FAA that causes it
to be that way. Williams noted, this facility will probably be the last one funded by
the FAA.
Williams continued, he was comfortable with the funding and was not concerned that
FAA won't come through with the funding. He added, once the project of this
magnitude starts, they won't stop. Williams also noted, Symtron was using a lot of
FAA money to front the major components of the system.
Ross added, Symtron is very strong on the fact the project was ranked 21 in the
nation (by FAA) and because FAA says there is enough discretionary funding to fund
the first 30 projects on the list. He added, they are not worried the funding won't
come to the city. There has never been one of these projects stopped in progress
before.
Councilman Moore asked, if the bid had come as expected or less, would council be
having this discussion with respect to funding levels, etc. He asked, if FAA goes away
tomorrow and the city is committed to a $10 million contract, what happens. Ross
explained, the city's commitment, under Ordinance 1756-97 and the resolution to be
passed, is to fund the project as FAA funds the project, and that's the city's only
commitment. Williams;, stated yes, they would be having the discussion, because
there isn't enough money to around as it is. There would not have been enough
money, under any circumstances, presently available with the amounts needed. He
added, the city knew that going in and that the city knew exactly what the city's share
of the cash pot was when the bid was let. They had discussed a "staged contract."
Williams noted, it was zdways known it would be a staged contract and the money
would come in chunks. Williams noted there had been discussion of putting off
purchasing the trucks for the facility until the next fiscal year, which would be
approximately $800,000.
Ross added, the overages resulted in a difference in fund phasing (the major
difference) and the overrun in the bid, caused a major change in the city's
KENAI CITY COUNCIL
SPECIAL MEETING MINUTES
AUGUST 26, 1997
PAGE 4
contribution because FAA won't participate in the $400,000 (audio-visual equipment)
and the city won't spend $400,000 on the equipment. He added, when the cost of the
building was increased (excepting the $400,000), 20% of the cost became the city's.
As far as the phasing contingency on FAA funding, it was always on the table. The
scheduling of what was phased in, in what order, and how much the city was into the
project for, was what changed.
Moore stated to clarify, that was probably what happened the first time the bid was
let. There was a discussion at that time that the project should not be funded in
dollar amounts, but in completion stages. Rather than to do that was to bid the
entire project at once. 'Williams stated, the city was almost forced into that situation.
Had it gone the other way, there was a chance one general contractor would follow
another contractor.
Williams referred to the third paragraph of the Kluge letter (included in the packet)
and read, "I informed the city at the time of the estimate, the AV equipment was not
addressed in the construction costs. Our electrical engineer laid out the equipment
after coming to Kenai and meeting with us and the fire station representatives. This
system was designed similar to the Modesto, CA facility. It was a consensus of the
Mayor and fire personnel that this project's AV system should be designed to have the
ability of distant learning from the lecture room and video presentations in the
classroom as well as recording prop -training sessions and lectures." Williams stated,
that was absolutely true, but what there was no consensus on or direction on was
that the system should be designed with $45,000 cameras and a myriad of other
technical equipment that ran the price to $400,000. Williams added, he wanted
council to understand, he did not personally go out and tell Kluge $400,000 was a
good number, especially when they knew the cost of the Modesto facility's AV
equipment and had been there to look at it.
Councilwoman Swarner asked if the city would be borrowing against future
entitlements and for how many years. Ross answered yes, and explained, the city will
be using the FY 97 and 98 entitlements, because this is the only construction project
the city has on the table. (The only way to get the entitlements is to have a
construction project.) The FY 99 entitlements will now be used in arrears to
reimburse the city for the engineering and design costs the city has already put into
the project.
Councilman Bannock noted the $400,000 had been mentioned several times in the
material forwarded to council. However, the $400,000 was a very small portion of the
$1.3 million overage. Bannock asked if they would talk about other areas where
cutbacks could be made. Ross explained, after the award of the contract,
administration planned to discuss with the contractor several areas in the building
KENAI CITY COUNCIL
SPECIAL MEETING MINUTES
AUGUST 26, 1997
PAGE 5
where amounts could be saved. As an example, Ross referred to the generator, which
was designed to be one large enough to run the whole facility during a power outage
when what is needed during a power outage would be to run the building and the
communications systems. There would be no need to continue training during a
major power outage. He added, there could be a considerable savings in downsizing
the generator. Ross noted, there may be other areas which could be downsized, etc.
and make cost savings,.
Bannock stated, it appeared the only item the city had been caught up in was the
$400,000 audio-visual component. Ross stated, the city was also surprised by the
cost for the affluent building (noted by Morrison-Maierle) and added, there may be
other areas as well. He added, finding those added costs may give some margin in the
project for overruns that are a result of oversights that are a result of increased costs
elsewhere. Ross noted, the project carried only a $300,000 contingency, which is a
match contingency. He explained, if a change -order was required, and depending
where it was, the city would have to match it by either 20% or at 31/8%. The
contingency amount should carry a distance into the project. If the audio-visual
package is downsized, the funds will drop into contingency and may be able to be
used for purchase of furnishings, etc. (Williams noted, the furnishings were never
covered by FAA and were always to be the city's cost.)
Overhead Presentation
Semmens gave an overhead presentation to explain the amounts given in the
ordinance, the amounts showing the city's level of participation, and more of the
funding breakdown. Semmens distributed sheets of information to follow along with,
a copy of which is included with the packet.
Semmens noted the entire project cost was now $13,435,915.47 which includes the
$300,000 contingency. The project started with the appropriation of $490,000 for
design work (Ordinance No. 1711-96) and $250,000 (Ordinance No. 1735-97), which
totals $740,000 which the city has appropriated toward the project.
Semmens noted the Alcan bid, including Alternate No. 2 was $7,790,915.47 which he
broke into two components; the building and the remaining costs. He noted, the total
non -grant eligible portion of the building was $1,200,000. This is a $13 million
project of which $11.9 million is grant -eligible. The funding sources are $11,172,404
from federal; $1,891,097.87 from the city; and $372,413.47 from the state.
Semmens reviewed the federal funding detail and noted it was important to recognize
the difference between the funding sources. He explained, entitlements are revenues
coming for construction projects based on the traffic through the airport;
KENAI CITY COUNCIL
SPECIAL MEETING MINUTES
AUGUST 26, 1997
PAGE 6
discretionary funds is a. pot of money that FAA, at its discretion, divides to different
projects throughout the: United States. Semmens noted, the federal funds were:
$626,647.00 (FY97 entitlements); $700,000 (FY98 entitlements); 693,750 (FY99
entitlements) and $1,151,997 (discretionary); a total of $11,172,404. Semmens
added, the FY99 entitlements were being committed by the city to reduce the
discretionary portion to make it more palatable for FAA to refund the $740,000 the
city has already invested into the project. This would allow the construction part of
the project to proceed sooner. The $693,000 reimbursement on what has already
been appropriated in the project should be received by October, 1998.
Semmens explained the: state share is the normal amount for FAA projects, however,
representations have been made that the city may not look to the state for their
funding. There are also feelings the state will participate ($372,413.47), but if they
don't, the city will have to absorb those costs.
Williams asked if the bid included Alternate No. 1 and Semmens confirmed it did not.
Williams stated, he would be asking the council to include the extra $10,000 in the
city's costs which will t.-tke care of future development of the pond (diving school, cold
water recovery, and community park). Ross stated, the reason the $10,000 was not
included was because there was no probability of FAA funding the development and
there are no easements to allow the city to use that property. Instead of complicating
the issue, they removed Alternate No. 1. Ross added, it would be council's decision
whether to go forward with the pond development.
Williams added, the city's figure of $1,891,000 is short from what the council had
agreed would be their participation, which includes the $740,000 for design. He
added, originally, they had figured the city's participation would be $2.7 million.
Williams also explained„ he would be happy to accept $372,413.47 from the state for
the project. However, in order to get the project off the ground and get the support of
the Governor, Speaker of the House, President of the Senate, Legislature and
Department of Transportation, he told the Governor the city would not ask for the
state's share of the project. He added, those letters of support were forwarded to
Washington, DC and used to convince FAA this would be a good project. Bookey
stated, the $2.7 million council had agreed to include the entitlements at that time.
Williams agreed, and added they were still included. Williams added, the city's cost
would still be less than the $2.7 million. Ross corrected him, noting the $1.8 had
been added to the entitlements and the city was actually close to $3 million.
Bannock stated his concern in regard to the discretionary funds and asked of the $9.:
million, how much had been committed. Semmens referred to "Funding Phases"
information which had been distributed. He noted, of the $11,172,404, FAA had
committed to the $3,008,857 and that amount consisted of FY97 entitlements, FY98

entitlement estimate, and the FY97 discretionary amount of $1,682,200, leaving a
federal balance of $8,163,547. He continued, FAA had committed they would put $6
million into their end of year plan, however they would not commit how much of the
$6 million the city would receive at the end of the year (September 30, 1997). That
amount depends on how much is available and FAA's priorities.
Smalley asked if the entire $6 million was not received at September 30, would the
remaining amount would come by February, 1998. Semmens answered yes, FAA had
indicated they would submit as a FY98 discretionary grant, the difference between the
$6 million and end of the year amount. Semmens continued, $2,163,547 is the
balance to fund after the $6 million. Of that, $693,750 will be covered by the FY99
entitlements which leaves a balance of $1,469,797. Semmens noted, they hoped to
receive the entire $6 million at September 30, 1997.
Semmens continued, if the $6 million was received at September 30, then $1,470,000
would be left and the city would request that amount be covered by a FY98
discretionary grant. Bannock asked what time line would be assigned to that and
Semmens answered, FY98 begins October 1, 1997 and the FY98 discretionary grant
money could be available as soon as February. If it is an unfunded item, funding
could come at the end of the year FY98 year.
Semmens noted, there is, with the federal money, city match and state match,
$3,209,447 with whicri. to begin the project. Those monies, he explained, would be
used as follows: If the contract is awarded, $687,000 would be appropriated to
Symtron for the long -lead time items (remaining amounts for Symtron's contract
would be awarded later); placing utilities -- $200,000; and, $2,322,447 would be
available for construction (the Alcan General contract). If more money is received in
October, Phase II would move forward with the contractor schedules and if the FY98
discretionary comes through, the specialized fire trainer would be purchased (Phase
III). Semmens noted, they have been told the city would meet the regulations with the
fuel spill propeller and purchase of the trainer could come later.
Phase IV, Semmens noted, would be the receipt of the FY99 entitlements. Ross
stated, they feel very comfortable the $1.4 million will be received for the fuel spill
propeller as that training is required for Alaska airports to be certified.
Ernst noted, this project is 21 on FAA's national list for funding and within Alaska, it
is first. Williams noted, Kenai would not be competing against any other group within
the FAA Alaska region.
Overhead presentation concluded.

Williams requested continents or concerns of council. Bookey stated he felt the
project was important to the city, but was discouraged the way it was coming along
but felt it was partly because it was on a fast tract mode. He added, he was
comfortable with going ahead and awarding the project, as long as the contractor was
happy with it and understood it could only go to Phase I if the other $6 million was
not received. Bookey continued, he had faith in the project, administration and
federal government and felt they needed to go forward.
Councilwoman Swarner stated she really didn't like the fast -track projects because
unavoidable mistakes happen and disliked having to pay for those mistakes.
Councilman Moore asked if there were representatives from FAA or Symtron present.
Answer was no. Moore stated he would feel comfortable having something on the
record in regard to the representations made to Ross about their commitment to work
with the city. He added, if not in writing, maybe a handshake, but at least on the
record. Ross stated, S}nntron's commitment would be on the record when the
resolution was passed at the next council meeting for $687,000 (if the award of the
contract was made at this meeting) . He added, it was not possible to get a written
commitment from FAA and noted, he tried to get that commitment.
Moore asked if a representative from was Alcan present. There was, and he
introduced himself as Terry Fike, President and Chief Executive Officer of Alcan
General. Moore asked Fike if he was willing to proceed with the project in the phases
as presented with the same bid. Fike answered, he had no problem with proceeding
with the contract as explained during this meeting. He added, they would be writing
their subcontracts with. the same language as the city's contract with Alcan General.
If the subcontractors don't agree, they will negotiate with another subcontractor.
Moore asked him, if by council's acceptance of the resolution, he was committed to
proceeding with the project. Fike answered, yes.
Moore asked if Fike would have bid the project differently, after knowing about the
funding. Fike answered, they were aware of the funding when they bid the project
and knew the city did not have all the funds. He added, they have worked with FAA
and just completed a project with them and are aware of their funding distributions.
Bannock referred to Line 3 of the ordinance and asked what "ARFF" was. Chief
Burnett answered, Aircraft Rescue Fire Fighting." Bannock asked Fike if he saw any
pitfall in front of the city, since he had experience working with FAA. He asked, if
Fike could make a recommendation, suggestion or if he saw some glaring error the
city was about ready to make. Fike answered no, and added, the documents were
very clean and understandable. The subcontractors they tentatively plan on using
are very knowledgeable of the documents and they have not heard of any problems in
KENAI CITY COUNCIL
SPECIAL MEETING MINUTES
AUGUST 26, 1997
PAGE 9
regard to the documents (their worst fear is a poor set of documents). He added, he
saw no pitfalls that could not be resolved amicably through both parties.
Smalley stated, based on the fact that the prior 13 like projects had been funded in
this manner, he agreed with Bookey's comments. He referred to the last whereas of
the resolution where it stated, "...contingent on funding and approval..." he was
comfortable with the project.
Williams stated he agreed with Swarner in regard to comments about fast track
projects. He added, this project should have been started three years ago by the city,
instead of two. He noted, there were other factors which prevented the city from
doing it and when they first made a presentation they were off in projected costs by a
considerable amount. lie added, he took part of the blame for the fast -tracking of the
project, but timing was critical by the time they really began working on the project.
Ross noted, one of the considerations the city has is the knowledge the project got
fast -tracked and then the window of opportunity for private industry came up and
there was no way to delay the project in order to correct problems. Delaying would
have increased expenses and possibly loss of the opportunity.
Moore noted, when comparing the original ordinance (marked B-la) with the
substitute (B-lc), there was less money being transferred with the substitute than
with the original ordinance. Would there be a transfer at a later phase? Semmens
answered, when writing the original ordinance (B-1(a)), he did not take into
consideration the $740,000 that had already been transferred with a previous
ordinance. The differerice between the original and substitute ordinance was the
$740,000.
Swarner asked Fike when he anticipated beginning construction. Fike answered, as
soon as the contract Was awarded and the permitting processes were in place. He
added, they will need to meet with the city to see what the phasing requirements will
be and discuss budgets, for the phasing requirements and what potentially may be
taken out of the project, etc. Fike noted, they are in a time crunch as it is late in the
year. Swarner asked when he anticipated completion of the building. Fike answered,
July at the latest. Swai ner asked if that would include pictures or video of
construction. Fike answered, if it's required by the documents.
Ross stated, if the resolution is awarded to Alcan at this meeting, they will meet with
them and engineering and work out the phasing and items to come out of the project.
In addition, before givir.Lg a notice to proceed, a grant will be sent to FAA for the $3
million. After that is signed and returned, they will issue a notice to proceed.

Ernst stated, he believed the grant would be signed and returned by the first week in
September. Fike noted, that would be consistent with the contract documents. Ernst
added, FAA was now waiting for the grant application.
Williams asked for further comments. There were none. Williams noted council
realized the city's financial involvement would be more than originally anticipated, but
recognized the facility at almost $13 million would be a tremendous asset to the
community.

objections. SO ORDEF.ED.
Williams asked council if they had any questions or comments before asking for
comments from the public.
Smalley asked if they needed to discuss the Alternative Alternate No. 1 at this time.
Williams answered, no.
Moore asked if there should be a "whereas" in regard to modification of the basic bid
that may be negotiated. He asked if the resolution would bind the city to the basic
bid and Alternate No. 2 as originally bid. Ross stated, it could without the

PAGE 11
representations heard. However, to begin negotiating a bid with the low bidder before
its award, is probably not what they should do. Williams noted, the fifth "whereas"
states the award is contingent on FAA funding approval and the contractor's
agreement to phase the project.
Bannock asked, when the project was bid, were their items that were line -items or,
with exception of the alternates, was it a one -lump bid. Answer was, it was a one -
lump bid. Bannock asked if administration was comfortable with awarding the bid
that way and then taking upon itself to negotiate with the contractor over the other
items. Ross answered, he didn't see any other option than to do it that way. He
added, Mr. Fike (Alcan General) made representations that he was willing to see some
adjustments. Ross noted, the city had been very expressive when gathering
information concerning the audio-visual package and thought Fike represented that
was an area of adjustment that he found acceptable. The audio-visual package was
the major item, however there would be other items administration would discuss
with Fike as well. Ross added, he did not attempt to negotiate an amount beyond the
low bid.
Williams noted, in contracting it is a lot easier to negotiate out those items early
before the physical work begins because there are items the general contractor has to
purchase. If the contractor does not have to purchase some items, it is a lot easier to
bargain it out.
Williams opened the discussion to the public for comment.
Dave Burnett, Kenai Fire Chief. - Burnett reported he talked with Mo Ranck,
President of ESI. Ranck is very excited about when the project would break ground,
etc. They have already issued certificates to proceed for the engineering, to Symtron
to build the propellers, and to have their building built. He urged council's support of
the project.
Williams explained the ESI project is a separate project built in conjunction with the
city's project.
Kelly Keating, Blazy Construction - Stated it was his understanding that there will
be negotiation with the award of the project after the award. Ross answered, the city
would award the project as bid by Alcan. The city has identified items that the city
will try to pull out. Those are items for which FAA said the city will have to provide
the funding (audio-vistLal package being the main item). Ross continued, there had
not been any negotiations with Alcan beyond accepting their low number.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL

AUGUST 26, 1997

Keating stated, he thought the city was in a tough position to negotiate if there was an
award. He added, they have been involved with other contracts, some federal
contracts, where the project was over budget. In those projects, they had the option
to negotiate with the bidders. He thought the city may have another option if there
was going to be some negotiation, some price changing, request for substitution or
elimination of some items. He added, he didn't know if that would be allowable, but
in the projects they had done (for the Forest Service), they asked the two bidders who
met all their requirements to review their list of items they wanted to negotiate and
went from there.
Ross stated, the city reviewed that possible option, but found, in order to do that, the
construction season would be delayed with going back through engineers, finding
what are acceptable products or not. The award is to Alcan at their bid amount. The
only definitive item to discuss is the audio-visual package because, from the city's
point of view, it is fully funding it. He added, it's the same package that everyone else
bid and is a fairly consistent number. At this time, the audio-visual package is the
only item the city can identify.
Keating stated, he thought it would be tough to construct the building during the
winter. He didn't think that was the real issue, but thought a sensible approach to
the construction was to get initial site work done this fall and build the building first
thing in the spring. Ross answered, that was what they didn't want to delay. Keating
added, if there was another option, he thought council should think about it and
know about it.
Moore stated he had to give some thought to that comment - that a contractor, who
was not the low bidder, finds out that maybe the audio-visual package is not wanted,
and maybe not the big generator or the building as it was designed, maybe would
have bid the project differently. Ross stated, the only items identified were the audio-
visual package and the possibility of a downsize on the generator which had not been
discussed (the generator) with the general. He added, no matter where the bid went,
they would do that. If the city begins negotiating the building, the project wouldn't
begin this year on any part of the project because it would take several weeks to make
those decisions. Ross continued, at this time, he was recommending council award
the contract to Alcan Greneral as the low bidder. If the audio-visual package could not
be negotiated out at a good number, it would be a problem, but at this time, the city
had a package before council with a low number and was recommending council
award the bid to Alcan General.
Williams noted council should remember the package they would be negotiating
would be paid for out of the city's funds. With that, the city has the prerogative to
negotiate items of that nature. He added, the contractor may look at it differently and

not want to negotiate. It's not FAA money, but it is the city's. In regard to Keating's
comments, there would be no negotiation with FAA regarding the audio-visual
package.
Bookey asked Attorney Graves for his comments. Graves stated, it was not that
unusual for governments to let contracts and then change items. The question was,
at what point is the project substantially altered and the audio-visual package didn't
meet that threshold. He added, he didn't have a big problem with it and didn't think
it was that uncommon in government contracting.
Smalley added, the code allows the city to negotiate a bid after its award to the low
bidder. Graves added, the city has negotiated items before, maybe not a project of
this size, but have changed items. He added, as long as it is not substantially altering
the scope of the contract, it is allowed under construction rules. Smalley noted, it
had been done with automobile purchases. Williams noted, there were probably
many in the court house project. Graves added, the court house project was a good
example as there were :many changes to save money after running into the
environmental and winter construction problems. Williams remembered the air
conditioning type had been substituted. Williams added, when the contract was
awarded for the congregate housing project, a change order was issued at the same
meeting and adding approximately $100,000 to the project.
Bill Kluge, Architect - Stated he didn't see a problem with negotiating the audio-
visual package because he was unaware of the exact cost of the package until two
days prior to bid. He continued, his electrical engineer met with the city
representatives and discussed the facility and what the Modesto facility had and he
instructed the engineer to design a first-class system. The package includes two extra
cameras for the future structural trainer on the building, which are weather-proof
security cameras. He added, there are less expensive systems than what was
specified, but what was specified are serviced out of Anchorage and first-class
components.
Kluge added, he didn't think the city should participate in the cost of the boiler
system which is included in the building for snow -melt on the trainers. He was told it
was a $135,000 cost which is included in the structure. The system is to facilitate the
boiler and associated piping, but the floor strength had to be increased because of the
weight of the system. lie noted, the snow -melt system is for melting the snow around
the fire trainers and was not just a building expense. Also, there is extra cost
associated with the purnp and associated structure. He added, the intent was to
accommodate the items within the building rather than build another building with a
separate heat plant for another building, etc. Kluge also noted there were other items

that ended up in the building package instead of the site work, i.e. the leach field and
drainage for the roof system, the associated concrete walks for the parking area, and
site lighting for the trainers.
Kluge added, he felt there were quite a few items in the building because of the
complexity of the project. He noted, when there is a short amount of time to
formulate the amounts and where they belong, they sometimes get placed where they
don't belong. He added., he worked extra hard on the project to make sure it would be
a durable facility with first-class materials. In regard to the estimating on the project,
they had it prepared for June 9, but the drawings were not completed. Since that
time, snow -melt systerns for the walks and hydronic heating in the floor of the
apparatus area were added. In regard to the generator size, Kluge stated he would be
concerned if a training session was in progress when the power goes out, leaving
participants in the dart.. Kluge added, the command center on the second floor of the
building was not fully detailed when the project was estimated either.
Williams stated, he thought Kluge's explanation was good when comparing the costs
of the building.
VOTE:
Williams asked if there was objection to unanimous consent. Moore objected and a
roll call vote was taken.
Swarner:
Yes
Bannock:
Yes
Bookey:
Yes
MOTION PASSED.
Moore: No Measles: Absent
Smalley: Yes Williams: Yes
Williams asked council if they had further comments.
Bookey - Glad the project is underway.
Swarner - There may be members in the audience who may have comments.
Moore - Stated he whole-heartedly supports the project, but had concerns
about the bid process and that was why he voted no.
Bannock - Thanked Semmens for the break -down on funding.
Smalley - No comment.
There were no comments from the audience. Williams noted, they were all
comfortable with proceeding with the project and felt it would be a good one for the
city. He added, he hoped it worked out according to plan.

RE: Ashley Reed - 1997 Legislative Session
Attached is a synopsis of the 1997 legislative session received from Mr. Ashley
Reed. Also included is a copy of the client list Mr. Reed submitted.
Mr. Reed's office had sought payment of the remaining $18,000 owed on the
$24,000 contract. Mr. Reed had received $6,000 on signing the contract.
Payment has been withheld because Mr. Reed had not performed under the
contract. The contract required that Mr. Reed submit monthly activity reports
from January through May 1997. No reports were received. An up-to-date client
list was not received during the session.
On August 26 Mr. Reed contacted Ms. Howard. On my instructions she advised
Mr. Reed to submit a summary of the monthly activities and an updated client
list. These were to be received no later than 12:00 noon August 29 in order to
meet the packet deadline. The submittals were not received on time for the
September 3 council meeting.
Payment for Mr. Reed's services will be scheduled for your review at the October
1, 1997 council meeting.

1997 Legislative Session Synopsis - Kenai
The 1997 legislative session saw a total of 616 bills/resolutions introduced
of which 168 passed. both bodies of the legislature and were forwarded to the
Governor for his review. Of those, the Governor vetoed a total of 10 bills, of
which the legislature overrode his veto on 6 measures, leaving 164 to become
law.
The Republican - led majorities of both houses of the legislature continued
their budget cutting this year. Official figures published by the Legislature's
Division of Legislative Finance claim that the budget reductions totaled $62.9
million; however, some budget observers claim that actual cuts may be as low
as $10 million. The different estimates are the result of accounting techniques
and timing -related actions. The majorities were able to enhance their claim
by ignoring a $44.9 million increase in appropriations for general purposes
from the income and assets of various special reserve funds and by ignoring a
shift of $7.6 million in net spending from FY'97 to FY'98 through
reappropriations, lapse date changes, and other timing -related actions.
Hiding money in one fiscal year to minimize apparent spending in
another is an established budgeting ploy; however, a certain amount of
leftover money is needed to make that trick work. The smaller role that
timing changes played in this year's budget may demonstrate that for; most
departments leftover money is becoming harder to find.
Municipal Revenue Sharing was funded at $50,358,000.00 which
represented a 67o reduction. Revenue sharing was cut the previous two years
at 7% and 8% respectively. The legislature likes to point out that the 657o
reduction this year is partially offset from savings / extra money from ,the
changes to the PERS retirement funds.

We were successful in having the legislature adopt budget intent language
directing the Alaska Science and Technology Fund to provide a grant, to the
Challenger Learning; Center; unfortunately, as a matter of policy this year, the
Governor vetoed all. of the intent language in the budget. You may recall that
I previously communicated (7/26) this message to the city prior to the
Governor's action. In talking with the Governor and his staff, 1 was assured
that this in no way reflected on the Governors positive feelings about the
project.
The City of Kenai should push the Governor to advocate to ASTF'on
behalf of the project or to get him to put a line item for the Challenger
Learning Center in the upcoming budget cycle. Remember, the month's of
October and November are extremely crucial as the Governor will be:
preparing next year's budget submission. In this era of budget cuts, not
having a line item :in the Governor's original submission eliminates gat least
907o of your chance of success. Do not let the fall escape you without! actively
lobbying the administration for your budgetary needs.
The cuptial projects proposed by Governor Knowles for the City of Kenai
included: Wastewater Plant Design $151,000; Wellhouse 1 and 2 Upgrades
$300,000; Kenai River Bridge Access Road Rehabilitation $700,000; Forest
Drive/Redoubt Avenue Rehabilitation $1,000,000; and Water Quality and
Quantity Development Program $147,180.
Attached for your review is a project funding list for District 9 showing the
actual capital projects funded and their funding sources.
Next year's legislative session will be more of the same. As I am sure you
are aware, the leadership of the legislature is committed to continuing to
reduce the state's operating budget; however, continuing to make real budget
cuts will force program downsizing or elimination. Much of the fat has been
eliminated and the resulting cuts will go deep into programs. At this point,
some legislative leaders are talking about the need for a larger capital'budget.
Likewise, some legislators are talking about a bond package to fund some of
the state's deferred maintenance, build new schools, prisons, etc. Many
believe that if the legislature does spend more on capital that these funds will
come through bond.s. As far as the big issues for next year, probably rewriting
the school foundation formula will be a hot topic of debate. Some other
topics will be the Marine Fuel Tax increase proposed by Rep. Moses in the
closing days of this year's legislative session and how to handle the growing
list of the state's deferred maintenance needs.
I would also like to take this opportunity to commend Senator Ward and
Representative Hodgins on their support of our issues.

B. Agenda Changes and Approval. No changes made as
this is a continuation of the June 5th meeting.
II. NEW BUSINESS
A. Review/Approval of Public Review Draft (continued
from June 5, 1997)
Bruce supplied the board members with a Memorandum dated
6/16/97 (consolidating changes from his 5/20 and 5/28 memos)
which covered all the changes and recommendations that
needed to be discussed prior to adoption of the plan. He
began the discussion with the first item referred to on page
6, item #1 and #2 of the 5/20/97 Memo dealing with rental
boats. The substitute wording shown on the 6/16/97 memo was
discussed. Bruce said there is an existing recommendation in
the plan that has not been changed and he read the language
from the 6/16 memo. The added wording is: "In this
evaluation the need for liability insurance should also be
assessed." Ben made the motion to accept the wording as
written. Seconded by Chris. The changes were unanimously
accepted by the board.
The next item discussed was on pg. 11, Recommendation
4.5.1.1.5.5. After some discussion, it was suggested by
Lance that the terms "helicopter and [OTHER] fixed wing"
aircraft should be changed to read " fixed wing, rotary wing
and [OTHER] aircraft". Motion was made by Lance, seconded
by Ben and unanimous consent was obtained.
Bruce discussed the language on p. 15 of the 5/20 memo
regarding Mental Health Trust Lands. No action was
necessary.
The next issue was on p. 18, revising recommendation
4.5.4.5.2. Ben made the motion to adopt the language in
4.5.4.5.2 "vegetated buffer...". Lance seconded. Brannon
asked to have "at -east" added in front of "__-0 feet" and
Kenai River Special Management Area 2
Advisory Board. - Minutes June 17, 1997
"each side" added after 200 feet. Unanimous consent was
obtained.
Next was on p. 19, to revise recommendation 4.5.4.6 --
Incorporate State Land within KRSMA. Bruce described the
Special Use Area designation and leasehold location orders
that would provide protection for resources in the tributary
areas until they can be added to KRSMA. This wording change
clarifies that the protection will occur on both the
tributaries as well as the adjacent lands. It is intended
that the Commissioner will sign the Special Use Area
designation as well as the Leasehold Location Order at the
same time he signs the intent to sign the Management Plan.
Peggy made the motion to adopt the language in
recommendation 4.5.4.6. Ken seconded. Duane asked if the
Cooper Landing Use plan recommended that the preservation
lands be added to KRSMA. Bruce said yes. The above was
voted on and accepted unanimously.
Peggy then asked if there was an intent to recommend to the
Boro to have a similar protection status on Boro lands
classified as preservation lands. Jim A asked if a
recommendation to the Boro should be made. Duane made the
motion to send similar language included as a recommendation
to the Boro for those lands classified as preservation. Jim
H. seconded this. Three of the properties identified in
the table as Boro properties we would like to include inside
KRSMA. Bruce said the letter should read "all Boro
properties" that are slated for eventual inclusion in the
KRSMA. Bruce uaill write the letter to the Boro. The motion
was amended to include the language above. It was approved
unanimously.
The next issue discussed was on P. 21 of the 5/20 Memo, item
4.5.4.8 Mineral, Closure. Bruce said this issue was
discussed with the board and action was taken by the board
on June 5th. Bruce said he went to the Director of Lands
Jane Angvik to find out if the language was tight enough.
Once reviewed, some wording changes were made. He went over
the changes with the board that are included in the June 16
Memo. Tom Knock made the motion to accept the language
changes in item 4.5.4.8. Ben recommended that in bullet #6
there be 2 sentences. One would say : "DNR will not approve
a plan of operations that adversely affects fish passage,
spawning, or rearing or other fish habitat..." and add
somewhere "with. the concurrence of ADF&G". Ben said it
would be important to get the habitat biologist's input into
that part. The next sentence would be: "DNR will also not
approve a plan of operations that adversely affects
recreational use....." After discussion with Bruce it was
decided to have bullet #6 read: "DNR -...ill not approve a plan
Kenai River Special Management Area
Advisory Board - Minutes June 17, 1997
3
of operations which in the judgement of ADF&G is considered
to adversely affect fish passage, spawning, or rearing;
other fish habitat; wildlife resources; recreational use; or
the owner's use: of adjacent private or municipal parcels."
There was discussion about bullet ##7. Lance made the motion
to change the last sentence to: "Reclamation shall restore
damaged ripariELn habitat." The motion was made to accept the
above language changes in item 4.5.4.8, seconded and voted
unanimously.
The next issue is on p. 21 of the 5/28/97 memo, item 4.5.8,
Public Awareness. "Coordinating committee" will be changed
to "Task Force" because a coordinating committee is too much
like a standing committee. Peggy made the motion to accept
the language changes in item 4.5.8 of the 6/16/97 Memo. Ken
seconded. Ben. suggested that "Kenai River Center" needed
to be included as governmental body. Bruce said that the
KRC is in the background information of the plan. This was
voted on with unanimous consent to include the above
changes.
The next item is on p. 36 of the 5/20 memo, new item #140
(added to columns #2 and 4 of the matrix under item 53, Oil
and Gas Exploration, storage and production". Ben made the
motion to accept this addition. Lance seconded. It was
voted on with unanimous consent.
Bruce then said the next 2 pages of the 6/16/97 are changes
that were previously voted on by the board members, but
Bruce wanted the board members to review the changes. On
instream structures Ted made the motion to accept the
changes as provided in the handout titled "Draft 6/16/97,
4.5.2.3 Permitting of Instream Structures". Lance seconded.
There was discussion on this draft and it was suggested by
Suzanne under number 1) to strike out the words "And Major
Reconstruction" as that should be part of number 3). Lance
said one thing that is needed is for the State to be given
grant authority to administer grants to private property
owners. Ben said he had a discussion with Marilyn Heiman
who stated the Governor would be interested in introducing
legislation next session. Ben suggested doing some work to
line up some legislative support for this in August,
September and October. The above was voted on with
unanimous consent.
The final issue is the inclusion of the lower 4 miles of the
Kenai River to KRSMA. Discussion began with Bruce reviewing
for the board that City of Kenai Mayor Williams came to the
June 5th meeting to express the City's opinic.i that it is
inappropriate to include the lower 4 miles of the Kenai
Kenai River Special Management Area 4
Advisory Board - Minutes June 17, 1997
River into KRSIKA. This is recommendation 2.8 which reads
that "the boundaries of KRSMA should be expanded to include
Kenai mainstem downstream from the Warren Ames bridge.
Bruce told the board if they wanted to withdraw the last 4
miles, they would have to make a motion to take out
recommendation 2.8. If the motion does not pass, that means
the recommendation stays in. With that, a lengthy
discussion ensued, as follows.
Jim began asking for clarification on p. 90 of the 5/28/97
memo, # 5): "recognize the traditional industrial and
commercial uses within Reach ill. Clarification should be
"within the first 4 miles of Reach ill. Bruce said that will
be corrected a;; such. This was voted on and accepted
unanimously.
Jack said he had a couple of conversations with some of the
seafood processors and there did not seem to be any interest
in having another meeting on this issue. Peggy said the
processors are scrambling right now to find a market in
Japan and someone told her it is absolutely the worst time
period to try and talk to them about anything. Peggy said
the person she talked to suggested talking to them in the
fall.
Robin N said she talked to some processors too. She said the
problem with waiting until fall is that many of the
processors have gone back to their Seattle off ices. Robin
talked to every single processor before the =ast meeting and
only one of them showed up. She also talked to a UCIDA
board person to see if there were any specific concerns and
what they objected to. It was not a specific item but an
overall fear of further regulations. She said there may be
some lack of understanding of this whole ecosystem approach
that this board is trying to get across. She would like to
see some education going on with the fishing groups. While
the KPFA supports the plan, UCIDA could be directly affected
by the plan. There needs to be some more ed,-:cation towards
commercial fishing and processing plants.
Ted said to remember that if the 4 miles are recommended for
inclusion, it is not the final step. Obviously the
legislature would then need to vote on that. Ted suggested
retaining the recommendation keeping in mind =hat it just
the start of the process. There will be a need to then
accommodate as many of the processors and cot-= :ercial
fishermens' legitimate concerns and issues as possible.
Ben said at the June 5th KRSMA meeting Mayc= Williams :aas
very specific in stating that there is a lac:: of important
hanitat in the lower 4 miles of the Kenai Ri-.-_r, as one cf
Kenai River Special Management Area
Advisory Board - Minutes June 17, 1997

his reasons for opposing the addition to KRSMA. Ben
asked Lance about the importance of the habitat in that
area. Lance said that F&G feels it is a very important area
and it does provide habitat. It is different than the rest
of the river in that it is an estuary with tidal influence
where all the fish entering and leaving have to pass through
there. It is also a very important area for over wintering
of kings, coho and red salmon. There are a total of 33
species of fish documented to use this area. The estuary is
where most kings spend their second year of life. There are
large numbers of fish there and that is why seismic work was
prohibited there. Marine mammals also use the lower river.
It is a system periodically flooded by tides .which flood the
grassy flats to bring nutrients back into the river. There
really is no special protection for that area at all
presently. This was an issue when the Warren Ames bridge was
constructed. It. should have been made a critical habitat
zone area but that never happened. Watershed -management is
what the process is about. You have to manage a whole
watershed from the headwaters to the mouth. Lance said from
a scientific perspective, the lower 4 miles should be
included in the KRSMA.
Jim A. said he had two discussions after the June 5th KRSMA
meeting with Marilyn Heiman of the Governor's office asking
if the administration had a perspective on this and the
answer was no. But Marilyn said they would be looking to the
board for advice. Jim also talked with Commissioner Shively
for his opinion. The Commissioner said he would consider
the Board's recommendations seriously.
At this point Jack made the motion to delete recommendation
5.3.1.2.8. Peggy seconded the motion so that the
discussion could continue. Jack said he is ccncerned about
what this might do to the strength of the plan. We are
asking that the local municipalities endorse _t. At this
point he said it probably would not pass.
Brannon said in regards to the undermining of the plan, he
said he would rather vote for it because he believes in
having the whole river as an ecosystem in the package. He
said let the Commissioner axe it if he believes he cannot
persuade the City of Kenai. Brannon said it :cculd behoove
this board to say what we feel and that we believe the lower
4 miles should :be included. Therefore Brannon will vote
against Jack's motion.
Jim A. said if the board does take action to recommend the
addition of the lower 4 miles, then the board :members should
be ready to talc with the legislators to have them urge the
Commissioner tc accept this recommendation. _= said board
Kenai River Special Management Area 6
Advisory Board: - Minutes June 17, 1997
members need to talk to the Governor also about this
recommendation.
Ted said he also is against the motion to delete this from
the plan. In developing this plan we have gone through and
asked for the cooperation from just about every user group.
It would be inequitable at the very least to leave out the
last 4 miles of the river particularly when this board has
sought to accommodate all the general concerns from each
user group around. It would be irresponsible for this board
not to recommend that the lower 4 miles be included in light
of the scientific evidence.
Chris recommended for this group as a whole to find some way
to sell it to the City of Kenai. Maybe the City will be able
to see that this addition will benefit them by having us
help to solve some of their problems that they may be
reluctant to solve or unable to solve. An example is the
conflict between the dip net fishery and the commercial
drift fleet us(s of the lower river at the same times. Chris
said it would not be taking any power away but assisting
them with some of their responsibilities.
Suzanne said she has talked to Mayor Williams and reminded
him that we aren't talking about managing the lands within
the City limits, rather the state's water column within the
city.
Ben will vote against Jack's motion and support the
inclusion of the bottom 4 miles of the Kenai River. Ben said
that since 198EI when the plan was first adopted we have
learned so much about the fisheries and habitat and have
continued to learn about it. Looking back, it was like there
was a magical line, the Warren Ames bridge. everything
upriver was sports fishermen and everything down river was
commercial fishermen. Never the two to get `cgether. Ben
reminded the board this is a different world now. It is not
an "us vs them" thing. We have to do what is the best for
this river taking the best scientific knowled=e and working
with that. He said he would work with anybody in trying to
get the City of Kenai involved.
Peggy wanted tc address the public perceptions. Those of us
who have worked with river issues for many years look at a
statement like "there is no habitat in the lower 4 miles" as
being totally ignorant. We should approach tese groups
assuming that they are trying to be good stewards, start at
that level and educate them and raise their awareness that
there is critical habitat in the lower 4 miles. Therefore
Peggy will oppose the motion made by Jack bec-ause it is the
right thing for the river.
Kenai River Special Management Area 7
Advisory Board - Minutes June 17, 1997
Robin N said she is also opposed to Jack's motion. Robin
said the whole river is important. She said we need to
start with educating the commercial fishing industry on the
habitat issues. This will be a slow process but that is
where it needs to begin. The commercial fishermen are as
concerned about the health of the river as any other user
group.
Mike C. stated that from the science side there is alot of
information out there to include the lower 4 miles, but
there are serious concerns from the political side. When the
Governor is called into an issue like this, he normally will
not make a call without bringing the different parties to
the table to t3_y to work it out. If we go ahead with this
approach it may stop the progress of the plan.
Ken said he hopes to get the commercial fishing folks to sit
down and talk. We're here for the health of the river. He
too will not vote for Jack's motion.
Jeff said Dan Foley is here with a few comments for the
board, but before he spoke Jeff talked about all the public
workshops and testimony that this board has had over the
last year or so. He said the Governor asked the board to
listen to the public, and the public said the lower 4 miles
need -to included in the KRSMA. He said the ninth hour saber
rattling is not. good faith. He will vote against Jack's
motion also.
Duane also will vote against Jack's motion. He said he has
been on this board for 9 years and he could not remember a
time when this has not been an issue. It is the right thing
to do for the Kenai River.
Dan Foley from Pacific Star Seafoods then spcke to the
board. He said he has had a chance to review the proposal
taking in all sides. He said certainly the whole river
should be included in the plan. He said he �-es not think
he is against that. But he is very suspect cf the layering
of government upon government. He does not think that the
plan is bold enough. But he continued on to say all he sees
in the plan is that the last 20 years of degradation of the
river is going to be grandfathered in and will continue. It
is pointed out that the commercial fishery has operated
fairly safely in the lower river. He said t:ey have been
able to manage alot of their own problems internally. DEC
and EPA protects the lower river in combination with the
zoning laws. What he wants is a holistic approach and that
is not what he is seeing there in the proposals. The
proposals are weak, and he is very suspect of DNR Parks
because he cannon fully aauge the what will __apen in the
Kenai River Special Management Area 8
Advisory Board - Minutes June 17, 1997
future. The lower 4 miles is just a demarcation that
somewhere the river starts somewhere near the buoys. This
will make enforcement difficult. He questioned what will the
effects be? What will the effects of DNR Parks be? Will
there be new permits required for rebuilding docks, mooring
on the river, etc? He said he has to say no to the
inclusion of the lower 4 miles into KRSMA.
Robin N asked Mr. Foley if there was a specific concern.
Mr. Foley said he would like to see the Warren Ames bridge
eliminated. He said he knows it is radical. We have a
chance on the Kenai to protect the whole river system and
that will take tremendously strong, hard steps to do. He
wants the river to be around 50 to 100 years from now. He
said he is not ,afraid of new regulations as long as he can
look at them and understand them. He is afraid of the
bureaucracy that will take place. There is a decrease in
the snow geese on the lower river. Is it the commercial
interest that affected that or is the fact that a platform
was built right in their feeding path and the road with it.
He said he drove down bridge access road a few days ago and
a young caribou had been killed there. Part of that river
system will not be able to sustain the caribou herd there.
There are also some wild dogs running through that pasture
as well cattle. There are no regulations addressing domestic
animals as well as the cattle. He said he is not against
moving his operation especially if the commercial industry
is detrimental to the river. He also mentioned that there is
not one processor involved on this board.
The call to votE? on Jack's motion was made. Jack voted for
and all other board members voted against. The motion
failed.
Robin made the motion to take a little more time to try to
make this thing work. Identify ideas that would make the
processors more comfortable.
Jim A. asked Bruce how the plan adoption schedule should go.
Bruce said he has other responsibilities. He cannot
indefinitely delay the plan. If the delay is two weeks that
would work but if the delay goes until fall it could be a
significant problem.
Ted said the board needs to adopt the plan. There will be
time for more discussion when implementation goes to the
legislature. He said any further delay is unwarranted. This
has been going cn for a long time and these issues should
have been discussed way before the 'last day when the plan is
up for adcpttion. e does not think anything will get
Kenai River Special Management Area
Advisory Board - Minutes June 17, 1997
resolved in two weeks. The processors need to come up with
specific concerns that are not addressed in the plan, then
the plan could be amended in a flash. He does not want to
see 18 months worth of work delayed while we belabor this
issue which was a dispute in 1986 and is a dispute now.
Robin made the motion to give her two more weeks to discuss
with the processors and commercial fishermen. Peggy
seconded.

Jeff said he does not agree with that. There is certainly
nothing that prohibits some specific language being added to
the plan as it goes along. He hopes this plan will become a
living document. He would like to get it done tonight.
Ken said it would be great to get the processors on board,
but what really needs to be done is to sell the City of
Kenai on the inclusion of the lower 4 miles.
Bruce said it is important to understand this is a
recommendation to the Commissioner. He suggested that the
board could make a recommendation to establish a task force
to work this issue and in three months to make a
recommendation back. If the task force comes back with
results that it. is not appropriate to include the lower 4
miles, you have to make the commitment to honor that
decision and go back and amend the plan. The other part
which is more likely, would be the task force will come back
with the decision to retain the lower 4 miles, then
modifications might need to be made to some of the wording
to meet the concerns.
Robin asked if the task force idea could be added to the
plan with a specific date for the task force to come back
with their recommendations. Bruce said certainly language
could be added. Robin then withdrew her earlier motion
requesting an ELdditional two weeks.
Jim A. then called for the vote and unanimous consent was
achieved to add the task force recommendation.
Jim H. made a friendly amendment to approve the language on
pg. 91 on the 5/28/97, item 2.8. Lance seconded the motion.
Jack LaShot asked to strike "non -recreation" cn pg. 92,
item 21.6. Peggy called for the vote and it was accepted
with unanimous consent.
And finally, DLLane made the motion to accept =he plan as
amended. Lances seconded. It was voted and ananimously
passed!!! (Big moment :)!>
Kenai River Special Management Area 10
Advisory Board - Minutes June 17, 1997
B. Review/Approval of Agency MOU. Bruce said the
intent of the MOU is for the signatory agencies, ADEC, ADFG,
DNR, USFS and 'USFWS to sign this document as their
commitment to implement the plan. Bruce said this is to ask
for the Board's support to have all agencies execute this
MOU. Mike made the motion to accept the MOU as written with
Mark seconding. Bruce said the intention is to bring this
to the Boro as soon as possible and ask for adoption by
resolution. It will go to the Planning Commission first and
then the Assem]oly. The same approach will be done with the
cities. Jim H. asked for a friendly amendment to add
another resolution to the Cities and Boro to adopt too. It
was then voted and unanimous consent was received.
C. Vessel Crowding Study Discussion. Ted spoke to
this issue. He worked with Ben Ellis and they tried to
analyze what is happening on the river and separate guide
vs. non -guided. They came up with a draft survey which was
faxed or sent t::o all board members.
There was much discussion by board members about when the
survey should be completed. Ben expressed concerns about
the lost time already this summer. Ted said the survey
could be done partly this summer and next summer. Jeff is
concerned about; the results because of the effect of catch
and release this summer and also that the results be from
one entire season.
Ted made the motion to approve the study as recommended.
Brannon asked v,rhy do the study at all. Ted answered that
the public has said time and again that there are too many
guides on the river. This study will provide the basis for
limiting number of guides if results support that. The
question was called and voted on unanimously.
Jim H said a multi year approach might be best as it will
allow the opportunity to see how well the survey is working.
Wait Arthur said property owners will not be interviewed
much if the survey occurs at boat launch areas. He
suggested doing the survey at other places and times such as
Carr's or Safeway. He wanted to make sure we have a random
survey of every user group on the river.
Chris made the motion to implement the study his year and
conduct it fully next season. This would allow changes to
be made on any problems with the survey.
Jim A. made a friendly amendment to implement the
observation component of the survey this year and secondly,
request Bruce and staff -•.ork through revi_-: of asestions
Kenai River Special Management Area 11
Advisory Board - Minutes June 17, 1997
from agency experts on the survey to develop a pre -test to
be administered this season at selected area. This will
look at whether people can answer the questions, and then
the survey can be implemented in the 98 season.
This was voted and accepted unanimously.
Jim H. then asked the board for a resolution commending the
exemplary work of Bruce Phelps on the revision of the KRCMP.
The work Bruce has done pulling in all the public comments
from the public: and consulting large groups of people
getting their input has been superb. A big thank you to
Bruce for all his hard work.
Jim A. will request a meeting with Commissioner Shively to
discuss the revision results and request that Bruce be
allowed to help in the implementation plan with continued
involvement in the future. He said we need to fax a note to
the Governor tomorrow letting him know the board has adopted
the plan and make a formal request to meet with the Governor
during the Classic. The Commissioner could adopt the plan
during the Kenai River Classic on the afternoon of July 3rd
or 4th.
III. PUBLIC COMMENT
Dan Foley said he resents he was not invited to participate
in our process. He feels more strongly than ever that he
wants to fight the inclusion of the lower 4 miles of the
Kenai River into KRSMA.
Walt Arthur applauded the board for all their hard work on
the plan. He said he does not agree with everything in the
plan but he can live with it. He said it is a good
compromise and he has come a long way in his acceptance of
the changes.

KENAI FIRE DEPARTMENT
MEMORANDUM
Date: September 4, 1997
To: Richard A. Ross, Acting City Manager
Mayor John Williams
Kenai City Council j��
From: David C. Burnett, Fire Chief "E
Subject: Letter of Resignation, (Retirement)
I am submitting my resignation from employment with the City of Kenai Fire
Department for the purpose of retirement, effective September 30, 1997.
I have accepted an employment offer from Engineering Support Inc., to oversee the
PRISM project as Site Administrator. I look forward to the development of the new
PRISM facility and am excited with the challenge and the opportunity to see this
project become a success.
My employment with the City of Kenai during the past 26.5 years has been challenging
and rewarding. I truly am going to miss the camaraderie and satisfaction of being part
of the team.
I want to thank the City administration for their support, and express special
appreciation to Mayor Williams and Kenai City Council. Without their support and
foresight, the progress the department has made in the last seven rears would never
have happened. I encourage the City Council to continue to support the fire
departments endeavors. There are great things on the horizon.
The City of Kenai can be proud, for there is not a better fire department in the State of
Alaska. Personnel stand ready for duty as one of the best fire/life safety units in the
nation. Your department continually has been recognized by Governors & Legislators,
on a national level by our Congressional Delegation. Most recently, the International
Association of Fire Chiefs honored the department for their achievement in Excellence.
The camaraderie, loyally, dedication, and professionalism displayed by your personnel
can not be matched. Yes, the Kenai Fire Department truly is the best.... and the City
can be proud!
I have the utmost confidence in the Fire Department's administration and line
personnel that they will continue to strive to reach the goals and challenges as set forth
by the Council.
I thank all of you for the opportunity to grow both individually and professionally with
the City.
