Subject: Alaska's Kenai River Show
Dear Council Members:
My name is Paul Gray, owner of Gray Publishing, Inc. which has been in the publishing business
for sixteen years, beginning with the Buyer's Corner, Buyer's Guide, Dispatch News and the
Sight Seer magazine.
Our next product will be a 30 minute weekly television show about the Kenai River to be broadcast
on a major Anchorage TV station from May through September. The format of the show will be
on habitat protection, fishing, nature, rafting, etc. The purpose of the show will be to create a
desire to visit the KenailSoldotna area. It will also serve as a forum to present the river as open
and friendly to the Anchorage market.
Anchorage holds the largest reservoir of increased sales tax revenue.
Resident Visitors Market
The Fox Practical Marketing and Management Report developed for the Kenai Peninsula Tourism
Marketing Council states;
"We conservatively estimate that visitors from Anchorage spend an average of $97.52 per
person, per trip to the peninsula. This represents an average expenditure of $49.26 per day, per
person, per trip.
Total expenditures on the Kenai Peninsula by Anchorage visitors are estimated to be
approximately $76.42 million per year, ..."
It's recommendation;
"It is critical to promote the many and substantial assets of the Kenai Peninsula to the
Anchorage market because:
-- it is currently the borough's dominant market, generating substantial revenues;
-- one of the peninsula's key competitors, the Mat -Su region, is engaged in an aggressive
marketing campaign targeti. tg Anchorage residents;
-- Anchorage residents play a key role in stimulating trips to the peninsula by visitors
visiting friendand relatives and business travelers."
Non -Resident Visitors Market
Research done by the McDowell Group, Patterns, Opinions, and Planning, (Summer 1993)
found Anchorage was host to more than a half million visitors. The survey also suggests that 31 %
of this group planned day trips after they ar-ived in Anchorage (see Attachment A.)
This is an opportunity for Soldotna and Kenai to consolidate their efforts and to promote the area
as one destination so the viewers do not get the impression the river is in one town or the other.
I am respectfully requesting funding of $30,000 from the budget of 1998 to produce and air this
program. Half the amount, $15,000 would come from the City of Soldotna and the other half
from the City of Kenai.
Sincerely,
Paul Gray

A study by: Fox Practical Marketing & Management
What Did You Do /n Alaska That You Had NOT Planned To Do?
Many VP visitors added unplanned attractions to their trips. More than three of ten
stated they saw additional attractions or added day excursions on their trip. Most
Inde-Package (40%) and Package (35%) visitors were likely to add & i extra attraction
to their itinerary. This was also true for visitors from the Eastern U.S. (43%) and
Canadians (34%).
Recreational activities were also added to trip itineraries. (one-third of European
visitors scheduled additional recreational activities. -'among domestic visitors,
visitors from the East (27%) and those from the Western U.S. (22%) were likely to
add more activities to their schedules than they had originally planned. Flightseeing
was also added to schedules by 16% of all summer VPs.
Other VPs found they were able to visit areas they had not previously included on
their original itinerary, made unplanned purchases or added a fishing trip to their
schedules.

there are r•a17.6fftn`&tiCn ConCerns that meant that Zero fish
should be harvested, we would support euapanding that
fishery, but the argument as it has been, in that these
fish should be caught by sport fishermen as opposed to
commercial fishermen, is not an argument that we agreed
with. Proposal C talks about amending the Upper Cook Inlet
Management Plan by changing references from Suaitna coho
to Northern Dietriet coho. We discussed this at length.,
T'm not sure in the context that can give you an answer,
but I can tali you the issues that we discussed. Z'm
guessing that some of the concern about making this
Northern District an opposed to Susitna is talking about
small stock protection, and the Anchorage Comittee
consistently supporta protecting small stocks, but there
doesn't appear to be any need to include this language to
protect those small stocks, so when the committee
participated in writing proposal 208, which is essentially
the proposal that the Board adopted, that was the Susitna
Management Plan, wo-- I can tell you that we discussed it
and that we ended up cboosing-Susitna over Northern

I am the plant manager at Inlet Salmon's Kenai Facility. Inlet Salmon has been operating
in Cook inlet since 1987 and has invested millions of dollars in capital improvements and
annual repairs to our facilities since that time, Each year we employ up to 400 individuals
at our Kenai and Kasilof Plants. Some of these employees have worked for us every
season since 1987 and others have used the work to advance their education and are only
with us until they have found full-time employment in other industries. Our annual payroll
for the Kenai and Kasilof facilities is about $2.25 million.
I am writing to share my concerns about the upcoming March Board meeting and the
proposals being considered.
First of all, I have noticed a change in the way that the Board of Fish has dealt with the
public since its meeting in February of 1996 and it concerns me. During that meeting, many
people gave oral presentations to the Board.. Afterwards, the Board was able to ask
questions about the presentation, sometimes the questioning lasted for an hour. New
information and understandings seemed to develop because of this opportunity. The
Board meeting that was held in November of 1996 did not allow any oral presentations to
the Board by the public, even though there were proposals before the Board that were not
included the packet for the February 1996 meeting, The public was told to work through
the Advisory committees or submit testimony in writing. This eliminated any chance that
the Board had to interact with the public on the record. As I understand it, this will be the
case in the March Board meeting. I believe that this format destroys the public confidence
in our unique board process. I hope that you will reconsider your decision and open the
March 1997 meeting to oral presentations by the public
Secondly, I am against Proposal D - 5 AAC21,363. If this proposal is adopted, the
ADF&G managers will have to restrict the drift fleet to the "3 mile corridor". This will reduce
the catch dramatically. Based on the catch statistics from this season, our fleet would miss
about 30% of their total catch for the season which would cost them at last years' grounds
price approximately $550,000 for the reds alone. This would translate to a $150,000 loss
in gross wages to our employees of as well as lost profits to us frpm the sale of this fish.
As you can see there is a substantial loss in revenue to the Kenai Peninsula economy if
you choose to pass this proposal. Also, by restricting the fleet to the "3 mile corridor", we
can expect that the overall reduced catch will be caught and delivered in a relatively short
time period. This will effect the quality of our product because we will not be able to
process it quickly enough. The resulting loss of quality will reduce the sales price for the
product. During the Salmon Strategy Forum in Juneau last month, one of the
recommendations was that any fishery management decisions should consider fish quality
as well as social and biological issues. If this proposal is adopted, it will have a significant
impact to the local Kenai community and therefore the State; and will negatively impact the
markets perception of the quality of Cook Inlet salmon.
In summary, I would ask that Proposal D be voted down and that you again open the
process up to the public.
Sincerely,
50S

Dear Sirs,
I wish to comment on Proposal D, to the Upper Cook Inlet Salmon Management Plan.
This proposal would allocate twenty percent of the total Northern District Cook TWet
sockeye return to setnetters in that district. As a policy, Wards Cove Packing does not
normally enter into allocation disputes involving differing groups of fishers. This
Proposal, however, is nothing more than a means to force an increased number of sockeye
salmon to Northern District rivers, and to the sportfishing sector. If adopted as submitted,
Proposal D will cause greater hardship to an already severely economically distressed
commercial fishing industry, setnet and drift fishers alike.
The Wards Cove Packing faefiity in this region has purchased salmon in Cook Inlet since
1922, This facility supports more than one hundred twenty, families who depend upon
their income from commercial fishing. Mulling the mandate of Proposal D would likely
require the closure of the Central District drift fleet during the period of July 7 through
July 21. 1 have attached a graphic that illustrates that such a closure would eliminate
approximately fifty-two percent of the total salmon processed at our facility. This
represents a serious reduction in the economic viability of this facility, to the families I
mentioned, and to the Kenai/Soidotna community. Such action would also force
unprecedented escapements to area rivers. Over -escapement was the prevailing factor in
the reduced sockeye salmon numbers to the Kenai River system in recent seasons.
I urge the Board of Fisheries to consider the overall impact of this proposal, and the
likelihood for certain user groups to pressure ADF&G biologists to meet this difficult
partition of salmon harvests. imposing these requirements will impose undo burdens on
fishery managers and result in needless fisheries closures.

At our meeting of February 26, 1997 our Advisory Board unanimously voted to send a
letter, once again, to inform you of our continued concerns and the seriousness of this
issue of the Board of Fisheries continuance to neglect the Fish and Game Advisory
Committees and the publics overwhelming request for the elimination of the Board
generated allocation proposals from the March meeting. These proposals were submitted
by some of the Board members because of a loophole in the system. These allocation
proposals were not introduced in the normal three year cycle procedure. They were also
introduced without an Agenda Change Request or even the Agenda Change Request
criteria used. They were introduced solely by the whims of the Board members who
proposed them. There has been no oral public testimony allowed nor will there be in
March. The Department has data showing there are no conservation concerns.
These unprecedented Board actions have created overwhelming opposition from
Advisory Committees, Cities, Borough, organized groups and the public, not only from
Cook Inlet but Statewide. The public process was put in place as a check value for the
Department of Fish and Game and the legislature. When the Board goes off on its own
agenda, for whatever reason, it circumvents the whole meaning of what the process is
meant to be and violates a moral code of ethics.
The public trust and involvement'in the Board process has eroded dramatically in the
last year. Peoples livelihoods and jobs are in jeopardy because of this dictatorship
approach of making decisions based on the Boards own politics_
We concur and remind Governor Knowles of your repeated commitment to have
increasingly more Advisory Committee and public input and involvement into the Board
process. Also your commitment to protect and promote Alaska jobs.

Board of Fisheries member Mr. Coffey called a teleconference of Feb. 14, 1997 of the
ten Cook Inlet Advisory Committee Chairmen to get their input on his new revised
edition of allocation Proposal 0 that he proposed at the specially held work session in
Sept. 1996. Board members Engel and Miller were present.
Enclosed is a copy of our letter to the Board summarizing the teleconference, staling
their commitment to discuss the results of the teleconference before the full Board at the
Ketchikan meeting, and our request of eliminating Proposals A, C, D, F, and G from the
March meeting.
Mr. Coffey did not pass the.information on to the full Board as he said he was going to
do. His failure to do so, as he promised, has prompted our Advisory Committee to seek
your support and help in the protection and expansion of the Advisory Committee and
public process and the involvement and trust in the Boards of Fish and Game.
This type of Board actions during this last year gives strong indications of biases and
preconceived agendas. This will be detrimental to the resource and the public process.
Thank you for time and consideration.

Dear Dr. John White, Chairman,
At the teleconference on Friday, Feb. 14, 1997 the Area H Advisory Committees again
(as they had done in November) voiced their objections to the Board generated allocation
proposals being addressed and acted upon at the March 1997 meeting. 'There was not
objection. to the proposals that went through the proper agenda change request and, or
had conservation concerns such as Kenai River coho.
Some of the objections voiced were;
1. The Board generated allocation proposals where not requested by an agenda
change request from the public or from the Department nor was the agenda
change request criteria used.
2. The public is not able to give oral testimony which they should be allowed to
give.
3. The proposals were not received in a timely manner to the Adv. Committees or
the public especially the new edition of Proposal 1).
4. The allocation proposals should not be generated by the Board but rather in the
normal process and time frame of the Cal I for Proposals for the regular 3 year
meeting cycle.
At the end of the teleconference it was agreed by the Board members present to take
the information and concerns discussed at this teleconference to the Board meeting in
Ketchikan so the Board could use this information to determine how they wanted to
proceed at the March meeting.
At our Advisory committee's publicly scheduled meeting on Feb. 19,1997 we
unanimously voted to send this letter to the Board at the Ketchikan meeting requesting
That the Board eliminate Proposals A, L, D, E. and G from the March meeting. We are
requesting this action now so as to maintain the public Trust and support for the Board of
Fish and the Advisory Committee process which is being eroded by the unusual manner
that these allocation proposals were generated and then presented to the public.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,

We have audited the general purpose financial statements of City of Kenai, Alaska as of
and for the year ended June 30, 1996, and have issued our report thereon dated December
18, 1996. These general purpose financial statements are the responsibility of the City of
Kenai, Alaska's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these general
purpose financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards,
Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States,
and the provisions of Office of Management and Budget Circular A-128, .Audits of State
and Local Governments. Those standards and OMB Circular A-128 require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the general purpose
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the general purpose
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the general purpose
financial statements of the City of Kenai, Alaska taken as a whole. The accompanying
Schedule of Federal Financial Assistance is presented for purposes of additional analysis
and is not a required part of the general purpose financial statements. The information in
that schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the
general purpose financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly presented in all material
respects in relation to the general purpose financial statements taken as a whole.

Independent Auditor's Report on the Internal Control Structure Based on an Audit of
General Purpose Financial Statements Performed in Accordance with Government
Auditing Standards
Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Kenai
Kenai, Alaska
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have audited the general purpose financial statements of City of Kenai, Alaska as of
and for the year ended June 30, 1996, and have issued our report thereon dated December
18, 1996.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and
Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the general purpose financial statements are free of material misstatement.
The management of City of Kenai, Alaska, is responsible for establishing and
maintaining an internal control structure. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and
judgments by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs
of internal control structure policies and procedures. The objectives of an internal control
structure are to provide management with reasonable, but not absolute. assurance that
assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, and that
transactions are executed in accordance with management's authorization and recorded
properly to permit the preparation of general purpose financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of inherent limitations in any
internal control structure, errors or irregularities may nevertheless occur and not be
detected. Also, projection of any evaluation of the structure to future periods is subject to
the risk that procedures may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that
the effectiveness of the design and operation of policies and procedures may deteriorate.
3
Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Kenai
Kenai, Alaska
In planning and performing our audit of the general purpose financial statements of City
of Kenai, Alaska, for the year ended June 30, 1996, we obtained an understanding of the
internal control structure. With respect to the internal control structure, we obtained an
understanding of the design of relevant policies and procedures and whether they have
been placed in operation, and we assessed control risk in order to determine our auditing
procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the general purpose financial
statements and not to provide an opinion on the internal control structure. Accordingly,
we do not express such an opinion.
Our consideration of the internal control structure would not necessarily disclose all
matters in the internal control structure that might be material weaknesses under
standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A
material weakness is a condition in which the design or operation of one or more of the
internal control structure elements does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that
errors and irregularities in amounts that would be material in relation to the general
purpose financial statements being audited may occur and not be detected within a timely
period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. We
noted no matters involving the internal control structure and its operation that we
consider to be material weaknesses as defined above.
This report is intended for the information of the City Council, the City's management,
and appropriate federal and State agencies. However, this report is a matter of public
record and its distribution is not limited.

Governments. Those standards and OMB Circular A-128 require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Qeneral purpose
financial statements are free of material misstatement and about whether City of Kenai,
Alaska complied with laws and regulations, noncompliance with which would be
material to a major federal financial assistance program.
In planning and performing our audit for the year ended June 30, 1996, we considered the
internal control structure of City of Kenai, Alaska, in order to determine our auditing
procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the general purpose financial
statements of City of Kenai, Alaska and on the compliance of City of Kenai, Alaska with
requirements applicable to major programs and to report on the internal control structure
in accordance with OMB Circular A-128. This report addresses our consideration of
internal control structure policies and procedures relevant to compliance with
requirements applicable to federal financial assistance programs. We have addressed
internal control structure policies and procedures relevant to our audit of the general
purpose financial statements in a separate report dated December 18, 1996.

Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Kenai
Kenai, Alaska
The management of City of Kenai, Alaska, is responsible for establishing and
maintaining an internal control structure. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and
judgments by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs
of internal control structure policies and procedures. The objectives of an internal control
structure are to provide management with reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that
assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, that transactions
are executed in accordance with management's authorization and recorded properly to
permit the preparation of general purpose financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, and that federal financial assistance programs
are managed in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Because of inherent
limitations in any internal control structure, errors, irregularities, or instances of
noncompliance may nevertheless occur and not be detected. Also, projection of any
evaluation of the structure to future periods is subject to the risk that procedures may
become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the effectiveness of the
design and operation of policies and procedures may deteriorate.
For the purpose of this report, we have classified the significant internal control structure
policies and procedures used in administering federal financial assistance programs into
the following categories:
Accounting controls: cash receipts/revenues; purchases/disbursements, and payroll.
Administrative controls:
General requirements: political activity; Davis -Bacon Act; civil rights; cash
management, relocation assistance and real property acquisition, federal financial
reports; allowable costs/cost principles: Drug -Free Workplace Act; and
administrative requirements.
Specific requirements: types of services allowed or unallowed; eligibility; matching,
level of effort or earmarking; reporting; special tests and provisions; financial
reports and claims for advances and reimbursements; and amounts claimed or
used for matching.
For all of the internal control structure categories listed above, we obtained an
understanding of the design of relevant policies and procedures and determined whether
they have been placed in operation, and we assessed control risk.
During the year ended June 30, 1996, City of Kenai, Alaska expended 67% of its total
federal financial assistance under major federal financial assistance programs.
We performed tests of controls, as required by OMB Circular A-128, to evaluate the
effectiveness of the design and operation of internal control structure policies and
procedures that we have considered relevant to preventing or detecting material
noncompliance with specific requirements, general requirements, and requirements
rel
Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Kenai
Kenai, Alaska
governing claims for advances and reimbursements and amounts claimed or used for
matching that are applicable to each of City of Kenai, Alaska's major federal financial
assistance programs, which are identified in the accompanying Schedule of Federal
Financial Assistance. Our procedures were less in scope than would be necessary to
render an opinion on these internal control structure policies and procedures.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Our consideration of the internal control structure policies and procedures used in
administering federal financial assistance would not necessarily disclose all matters in the
internal control structure that might constitute material weaknesses under standards
established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A material
weakness is a reportable condition in which the design or operation of one or more of the
internal control structure elements does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that
noncompliance with laws and regulations that would be material to a federal financial
assistance program may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in
the normal course of performing their assigned functions. We noted no matters involving
the internal control structure and its operations that we consider to be material
weaknesses as defined above.
This report is intended for the information of the City Council, City's management, and
appropriate federal and State agencies. However, this report is a matter of public record
and its distribution is not limited. y /

Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have audited the general purpose financial statements of City of Kenai. Alaska as of
and for the year ended June 30, 1996, and have issued our report thereon dated December
18, 1996.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and
Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the general purpose financial statements are free of material misstatement.
Compliance with laws, regulations, contracts, and grants applicable to City of Kenai,
Alaska. is the responsibility of the City of Kenai, Alaska's management. As part of
obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement, we performed tests of City of Kenai, Alaska's compliance with certain
provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants. However, the objective of our audit
of the general purpose financial statements was not to provide an opinion on overall
compliance with such provisions. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance that are required to be
reported under Government Auditing Standards.
This report is intended for the information of the City Council, City's management and
appropriate State and federal agencies. However. this report is a matter of public record

Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have audited the general purpose financial statements of City of Kenai, Alaska as of
and for the year ended June 30, 1996, and have issued our report thereon dated December
18, 1996.
We have applied procedures to test City of Kenai, Alaska's compliance with the
following requirements applicable to its federal financial assistance programs, which are
identified in the Schedule of Federal Financial Assistance, for the year ended June 30,
1996: political activity, Davis -Bacon Act, civil rights, cash management, relocation
assistance and real property acquisition, federal financial reports, Drug -Free Workplace
Act, allowable costs/cost principles, and administrative requirements.
Our procedures were limited to the applicable procedures described in the Office of
Management and Budget's Compliance Supplement for Single Audits of State and Local
Governments. Our procedures were substantially less in scope than an audit, the
objective of which is the expression of an opinion on City of Kenai, Alaska's compliance
with the requirements listed in the preceding paragraph. Accordingly, we do not express
such an opinion.
With respect to the items tested, the results of those procedures disclosed no material
instances of noncompliance with the requirements listed in the second paragraph of this
report. With respect to items not tested, nothing came to our attention that caused us to
believe that City of Kenai, Alaska, had not complied, in all material respects, with those
requirements.
This report is intended for the information of the City Council, the Citv's management,
and appropriate State and federal agencies. However, this report is a matter of public

We have audited the general purpose financial statements of the City of Kenai, Alaska as
of and for the year ended June 30, 1996, and have issued our report thereon dated
December 18, 1996. These general purpose financial statements are the responsibility of

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards,
Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about v,-hether the general purpose financial statements are free of material misstatement.
An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the general purpose financial statements. An audit also includes assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the general purpose
financial statements of the City of Kenai, Alaska, taken as a whole. The accompanying
Schedule of State Financial Assistance is presented for purposes of additional analysis
and is not a required part of the general purpose financial statements. The information in

general purpose financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly presented in all material
respects in relation to the general purpose financial statements taken as a A-liole.

Independent Auditor's Report on the Internal Control Structure for a State Single Audit
Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Kenai
Kenai, Alaska
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Offices in:
Anchorage
Bethel
Kenai
We have audited the general purpose financial statements of the City of Kenai, Alaska as of and
for the year ended June 30, 1996, and have issued our report thereon dated December 18, 1996.
We have also audited the City of Kenai, Alaska's compliance with general requirements and
specific requirements applicable to major State financial assistance programs and have issued our
report thereon dated December 18, 1996.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, Government
Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, and the .Stare of
Alaska Audit Guide and Compliance Supplement for State Single Audits. Those standards and
the audit guide require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and about whether the City of
Kenai, Alaska, complied with laws and regulations, noncompliance with which would be
material to a major State financial assistance program.
The management of the City of Kenai, Alaska, is responsible for establishing and maintaining an
internal control structure. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by
management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of internal control
structure policies and procedures. The objectives of an internal control structure are to provide

from unauthorized use or disposition, that transactions are executed in accordance with
management's authorization and recorded properly to permit the preparation of general purpose
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that State
financial assistance programs are managed in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
Because of inherent limitations in any internal control structure, errors, irregularities, or instances
of noncompliance may nevertheless occur and not be detected. Also, projection of any
evaluation of the structure to future periods is subject to the risk that procedures may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the effectiveness of the design and operation
of policies and procedures may deteriorate.
15
Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Kenai
Kenai, Alaska
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of City of Kenai, Alaska for the
year ended June 30, 1996, we obtained an understanding of the internal control structure. With
respect to the internal control structure, we obtained an understanding of the design of relevant
policies and procedures and whether they have been placed in operation, and we assessed control
risk in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinions on
the financial statements and on compliance with general requirements and requirements
applicable to major State financial assistance programs and not to provide an opinion on the
internal control structure. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Our consideration of the internal control structure would not necessarily disclose all matters in
the internal control structure that might be material weaknesses under standards established by
the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A material weakness is a reportable
condition in which the design or operation of one or more of the internal control structure
elements does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that errors or irregularities in amounts
that would be material in relation to the general purpose financial statements being audited may
occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of
performing their assigned functions. We noted no matters involving the internal control structure
and its operation that we consider to be material weaknesses as defined above.
This report is intended for the information of the City Council, City's management, and
appropriate federal and State agencies. This is not intended to limit the distribution of this
report, which is a matter of public record.

Offices in:

Kenai
We have audited the general purpose financial statements of the City of Kenai, Alaska as of and
for the year ended June 30, 1996, and have issued our report thereon dated December 18, 1996.
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the general purpose financial statements
and the major state assistance programs are free of material misstatement, we have applied
procedures to test the City of Kenai, Alaska's compliance with certain provisions of laws and
regulations and with the general requirements applicable to its State financial assistance
programs and the specific requirements that are applicable to each of its major State financial
assistance programs, which are identified in the accompanying Schedule of State Financial
Assistance, for the year ended June 30, 1996. The management of the City of Kenai, Alaska, is
responsible for the City of Kenai, Alaska's compliance with those requirements. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance with those provisions and requirements
based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, Government
Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States and the State of
Alaska Audit Guide and Compliance Supplement for State Single Audits. Those standards and
the audit guide require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about

material noncompliance with the requirements referred to above occurred. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence about City of Kenai, Alaska's compliance with those
requirements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The results of our audit procedures disclosed no instances of noncompliance with the
requirements referred to above. In our opinion, City of Kenai, Alaska complied, in all material
respects, with provisions of laws and regulations and the applicable general requirements
governing its State financial assistance programs and with the specific requirements that are
applicable to each of its major State financial assistance programs for the year ended June 30,
1996.

Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Kenai
Kenai, Alaska
In connection with our audit of the general purpose financial statements of City of Kenai, Alaska
and with our study and evaluation of the City of Kenai, Alaska's internal control structure used to
administer State financial assistance programs, we selected certain transactions applicable to
certain nonmajor State financial assistance programs for the year ended June 30, 1996.
As required by the State of Alaska Audit Guide and Compliance Supplement for State Single
Audits, we have performed auditing procedures to test compliance with the requirements
governing types of services allowed or unallowed and eligibility that are applicable to those
transactions. Our procedures were substantially less in scope than an audit, the objective of
which is the expression of an opinion on City of Kenai, Alaska's compliance with these
requirements. Accordinglv, we do not express such an opinion.
With respect to the items tested, the results of those procedures disclosed no material instances of
noncompliance with the requirements listed in the preceding paragraph. With respect to items
not tested, nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that City of Kenai, Alaska, had
not complied, in all material respects, with those requirements.

CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA
ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL CITY OFFICIALS
The City of Kenai was founded in 1791. It is located south of Anchorage on
Cook Inlet and the Central Kenai Peninsula. The City is 161 highway miles
from Anchorage. By air, Kenai is three hours from Seattle and thirty minutes
from Anchorage.
Kenai was the site of the first major oil strike in 1957 and has served as a
center for exploration and production since that time. Commercial fishing and
processing contribute to the economy.
Kenai adopted the Council Manager form of government in 1963 and has been
operating under this form since that time.
The City Council, together with appointed City officials, meets every first
and third Wednesday of each month in the City Administration Building for
regular Council sessions. In addition, numerous special meetings and work
sessions are scheduled throughout the year.
The Council, which consists of the Mayor and six Councilmembers, is selected
at large and on a non -partisan basis. Annual elections are held in October.
The terms of office are three years but are overlapping so that the City is
provided with a continuity of knowledge in the City business and legislative
matters.

The Honorable Mayor John J. Williams
and City Council
City of Kenai
Kenai, Alaska 99611
Dear Mayor Williams and Council:
The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of the City of Kenai, Alaska for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1996 was prepared by the City's Finance Department.
Responsibility for both the accuracy of the presented data and the completeness
and fairness of the presentation including all disclosures rests with the City.
We believe the data as presented is accurate in all material aspects; that it is
presented in a manner designed to fairly set forth the financial position and
results of operations of the City as measured by the financial activity of its
various funds; and that all disclosures necessary to enable the reader to gain
the maximum understanding of the City's financial activity have been included.
This report covers all funds and financial transactions of the City and is
presented in three sections. The Introductory Section contains organizational
data of the City, the table of contents, and the letter of transmittal. The
Financial Section contains the auditor's report, the general purpose financial
statements, which present aggregate data by fund type and account group,
together with notes to the financial statements, and the combining and
individual fund and account group statements. The Statistical Tables present
social and economic data, financial trends, and the fiscal capacity of the
government.
Accounting System and Budgetary Control
The City's accounting records for general governmental operations are maintained
on a modified accrual basis. Accounting records for the City's Enterprise Funds
and the Nonexpendable Trust Funds for land sales are maintained on a full
accrual basis. Note l.b to the general purpose financial statements describes
these accounting methods.
In developing and altering the City's accounting system, consideration is given
to the adequacy of internal accounting control. Internal accounting controls
are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance regarding (1)
the safeguarding of assets against loss from unauthorized use or disposition;
and (2) the reliability of financial records for preparing financial statements
and maintaining accountability for assets.
I
The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that (1) the cost of a control
should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived; and (2) the evaluation of
costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management.
Budgetary control is maintained at the object class level by the encumbrance of
estimated purchase amounts prior to the release of purchase orders to vendors.
Purchase orders which result in an overrun of object class balances are not
released until additional appropriations are made available. Open encumbrances
are reported as reservations of fund balance at year end.
The Reporting Entity and Its Services
The reporting entity that is included in our comprehensive annual financial
report is determined by the criteria set forth by the Governmental Accounting
Standards Board. These criteria deal with financial and operational
relationships with other entities. Based on these criteria, no agencies,
departments, or any operations of the City were excluded from the reporting
entity.
The City provides the full range of municipal services contemplated by statute
or character. This includes police and fire, water and sanitation, social
services, public improvements, planning and zoning, and general administrative
services.
General Governmental Functions
Revenues from general governmental functions (which includes General, Special
Revenue, Debt Service, and Capital Projects Funds) totaled $10,764,977 in fiscal
year 1996, an increase of .4% from 1995. General property taxes produced
$1,141,101 of revenues compared to $1,119,539 last year. Sales taxes produced
$3,350,333 of revenues compared to $3,306,262 last year. The amount of revenues
from various sources and the increases or decreases over last year are shown
below:

The calendar year 1995 assessed valuation of 310.7 million represented an
increase of .58% from the preceding year. The 1995 valuation is the basis for
the fiscal year 1995-96 tax levy. Since calendar year 1986, with a record
valuation of $328.8 million, assessed values declined sharply to a low of $252.9
in 1990, a 23% decrease. However, a review of Table VI in the statistical
section shows that property values, after remaining stable for the three-year
period ending with calendar year 1991, appear now to be trending upward. The
mill rate for fiscal year 1995-96 (calendar year 1995) tax levy was 3.5 mills,
the same as the prior year. Table III in the statistical section shows the
historical trend of taxes. All taxes are allocated to the General Fund.
In 1996 property taxes increased $21,562 and sales taxes increased $44,071.
Sales tax revenues showed an increase in each calendar quarter for 1996.
Intergovernmental revenues decreased over $986,966, or 37% from the prior year.
Decreases in revenues from federal and state financed construction projects
account for the reduction.
Interest revenue increased over $266,995, or 18% from the prior year. Average
yield on investments purchased increased from 4.9% in FY95 to 6.0% in FY96.
Expenditures for general governmental purposes totaled $10,259,799, a decrease
of 6.1% from 1995. Increases or decreases in levels of expenditures for major
functions of the City over the preceding year are shown on the following page.

The single largest decrease, nearly $1.3 million, was in capital projects. Most
of these projects were financed substantially with grants, and relate to the
reduction in intergovernmental revenues referred to earlier.
The debt service reduction is not as significant as in past years because the
City called and redeemed the entire 1980 City administration building bonds in
FY94.
Increased expenditures noted in public works was for the replacement of several
pieces of heavy equipment.
Fund balances in the major operating funds were maintained at adequate levels.
A tabulation of unreserved-undesignated fund balances of General and Special
Revenue Funds, compared to last year, follows:

The ratio of net bonded debt to assessed valuation and the amount of bonded debt
per capita are useful indicators of the City's debt position to municipal
management, citizens and investors. This data is shown in the following
summary:
Net direct bonded debt $ 1,547,000
Ratio of debt to assessed value .50%
Net bonded debt per capita $ 221
Total outstanding general obligation bonds at June 30, 1996 totaled $1,712,000.
Fund balances in the Debt Service Funds have been accumulated to retire general
obligation bonds. The City has no bond ratings.
The Kenai Peninsula Borough and the Central Hospital Service Area have issued
significant debt that results in overlapping debt to the City of Kenai. These
calculations are based upon the City's assessed value as a percentage of the
Borough's and Service Area's assessed values, and applying the percentages to
the other agencies' net debt. Kenai's overlapping debt from these two agencies
total $5,652,791. The City's net bonded debt per capita, which includes City,
Borough, and Service Area debt, is $1,028.
Cash Management
Cash temporarily idle during the year was invested in U.S. Treasury bills and
notes, federal agency securities, and the Alaska Municipal League investment
pool. At June 30, 1996, virtually all of the City's cash was invested.
0
Total cash and investments at June 30, 1996 were $31,750,157. Note 2 to the
Financial Statements provides more information on cash and investments.
Capital Projects Funds
Proceeds of general obligation bond issues are accounted for in Capital Projects
Funds until improvement projects are completed. Completed projects and
uncompleted construction in progress at year end are capitalized in the General
Fixed Assets Account Group. During 1995-96, projects costing $2,094,761 were
completed.
Nonexvendable Trust Funds
The City has established two Trust Funds to account for land sales, of which the
principal proceeds cannot be spent. At June 30, 1996, the reserved fund
balances of the General Government Land Sales Trust Fund and the Airport Land
Sales Trust Fund were $1,848,460 and $10,087,546, respectively.
General Fixed Assets
The general fixed assets of the City are those assets used in general govern-
mental functions and exclude the fixed assets of the enterprise funds. The
balance of general fixed assets at June 30, 1996 amounted to $93,684,307. This
is an increase from June 30, 1995 of $1,514,072. This increase is due primarily
to additional construction activity. This amount represents the original cost
of the assets and is considerably less than their present value. Depreciation
of general fixed assets is not recognized in the City's accounting system.
Independent Audit
The City Charter requires an annual audit of the books of account, financial
records, and transactions of all administrative departments of the City by
independent certified public accountants selected by the City Council. This
requirement has been complied with and the auditor's report has been included in
this report. In addition, financial and compliance audits have been conducted
on Federal and State grant programs. Those audit reports are delivered under
separate cover.

Robin G. Feltman

Independent Auditor's Report
Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Kenai, Alaska
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have audited the accompanying general purpose financial statements of City of
Kenai, Alaska, as of and for the year ended June 30, 1996, as listed in the table of
contents. These general purpose financial statements are the responsibility of the
City's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these general
purpose financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the general purpose financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the general purpose financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
the significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
general purpose financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the general purpose financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of City of Kenai, Alaska, as of
June 30, 1996, and the results of its operations and the cash flows of its proprietary
fund types and nonexpendable trust funds for the year then ended in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued a report
dated December 18, 1996 on our consideration of City of Kenai's internal control
structure and a report dated December 18, 1996 on its compliance with laws and
regulations.
11
Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Kenai, Alaska
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the general
purpose financial statements taken as a whole. The combining and individual fund
and account group financial. statements listed in the table of contents are presented
for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the general
purpose financial statements of City of Kenai, Alaska. Such information has been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the general purpose
financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly presented in all material respects
in relation to the general purpose financial statements taken as a whole.
The other data included under the captions "Introductory Section" and "Statistical
Section" in the table of contents have not been audited by us and, accordingly, we
express no opinion on such data.

CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 1996
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a) Reporting Entity:
The City of Kenai (the City) is governed by a council of seven
citizens elected by the voters of the City. The City Council
appoints a City Attorney, City Clerk, and City Manager, who is the
chief administrator of City government. The City Council uses an
extensive network of advisory boards and commissions in order to
ensure needed citizen participation in the City's decision -making
process. The boards and commissions have no authority to make
financial transactions on behalf of the City.
In accordance with authoritative pronouncements issued by the
Governmental Accounting Standards Boards, the City's financial
statements include all funds, account groups, boards and
commissions of the City. As a primary government, the City
examined other organizations for financial accountability and
other relationships for possible inclusion in this reporting
entity as component units. It has been determined that no
potential component units warrant such inclusions.
b) Basis of Presentation, Measurement Focus, and Basis of Accounting:
The accounts of the City of Kenai are organized and operated on a
basis of funds and account groups. A fund is an independent
fiscal and accounting entity with a self -balancing set of
accounts. Fund accounting segregates funds according to their
intended purpose and is used to aid management in demonstrating
compliance with finance -related legal and contractual provisions.
The minimum number of funds are maintained consistent with legal
and managerial requirements. Account groups are reporting devices
to account for certain assets and liabilities of the governmental
funds not recorded directly in those funds. The City has the
following fund types and account groups:
Governmental funds are used to account for the City's general
government activities. Governmental fund types use the flow of
current financial resources measurement focus and the modified
accrual basis of accounting. Under the modified accrual basis of
accounting, revenues are recognized when susceptible to accrual
(i.e., when they are "measurable and available"). "Measurable"
means the amount of the transaction can be determined and
"available" means collectible within the current period or soon
enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. The
City considers all revenues available if they are collected within
60 days after year end. Expenditures are recorded when the
related fund liability is incurred, except for unmatured interest
on general long-term debt, which is recognized when due, and
22
claims and judgments, which are recognized when the obligations
are expected to be liquidated with expendable available financial
resources.
Property taxes, sales taxes, and interest on investments are
susceptible to accrual. However, property taxes received after
the availability period of 60 days, in excess of the estimated
uncollectible portion, are deferred and reflected as such on the
balance sheet. Most other receipts become measurable and
available when cash is received by the City and are recognized as
revenue at that time.
Entitlements and shared revenues are recorded at the time of
receipt, or earlier if the susceptible to accrual criteria are
met. Expenditure driven grants are recognized as revenue when the
qualifying expenditures have been incurred and all other grant
requirements have been met.
Governmental funds include the following fund types:
The general fund is the City's primary operating fund. It
accounts for all financial resources of the general
government, except those required to be accounted for in
another fund.
The special revenue funds account for revenue sources that
are legally restricted to expenditure for specific purposes
(not including major capital projects).
The debt service funds account for the servicing of general
long-term debt not being financed by proprietary or
nonexpendable trust funds.
The capital projects funds account for the acquisition of
fixed assets or construction of major capital projects not
being financed by proprietary or nonexpendable trust funds.
Proprietary funds are accounted for on the flow of economic
resources measurement focus and use the accrual basis of
accounting. Under this method, revenues are recorded when earned
and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred.
All proprietary funds apply applicable standards of the Financial
Accounting Standards Board issued on or before November 30, 1989
unless those standards conflict with or contradict Governmental
Accounting Standards Board pronouncements. Proprietary funds
include the following fund type:
Enterprise funds are used to account for those operations
that are financed and operated in a manner similar to
private business or where the City Council has decided that
the determination of revenues earned, costs incurred and/or
net income is necessary for management accountability.
Fiduciary funds account for assets held by the City in a trustee
capacity or as an agent on behalf of others.
23
Nonexpendable trust funds are accounted for in essentially
the same manner as the proprietary funds, using the same
measurement focus and basis of accounting. Nonexpendable
trust funds account for assets in which the principal may
not be spent.
Agency funds are custodial in nature and do not present
results of operations or have a measurement focus. Agency
funds are accounted for using the modified accrual basis of
accounting. This fund is used to account for assets that
the government holds for others in an agency capacity.
The account groups include the general fixed assets group of
accounts used to account for fixed assets not accounted for in
proprietary or trust funds, and the general long-term debt group
of accounts used to account for general long-term debt and certain
other liabilities that are not specific liabilities of proprietary
or trust funds.
c) Appropriations:
Budgets for the general fund, special revenue funds, debt service
funds, and enterprise funds are annual budgets. Capital project
fund budgets are project -length budgets. All budgets are adopted
on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting
principles.
Annual budgets must be submitted to the City Council by the City
Manager during or prior to the sixth week preceding the first day
of each fiscal year. The City Council must adopt an annual
budget and set the tax rates not later than the tenth day of June
for the following year.
Budgetary control (the level at which expenditures may not exceed
budget) is maintained at the object class level by the
encumbrance of estimated purchase amounts prior to the release of
purchase orders to vendors. Purchase orders which would result
in an overrun of object class balances are not released until
additional appropriations are made available.
Amendments to appropriations may be made by the city
administration by transfers within a fund in amounts less than
$1,000, except for personal services accounts. Other amendments,
including supplemental appropriations, may be made by the City
Council.
d) Encumbrances at Year -End:
Encumbrance accounting, under which purchase orders, contracts,
and other commitments for the expenditure of monies are recorded
in order to reserve that portion of the applicable
appropriation, is employed as an extension of formal budgetary
integration in the general fund and special revenue funds.
24
e)
f)
g)
h)
i)
Encumbrances outstanding at year-end are reported as reservations
of fund balances since they do not represent expenditures or
liabilities.
Unencumbered, unexpended appropriations lapse at year-end, except
for capital project fund appropriations, which are on a project
basis rather than an annual basis. The following year's annual
budgets are increased by the amount of encumbrances at year end.
Therefore, the authority to liquidate year-end encumbrances is in
the following year's budget.
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
For purposes of the Combined Statement of Cash Flows, the
enterprise and nonexpendable trust funds consider all equities in
the central treasury to be cash and cash equivalents. The
central treasury, which holds cash and investments, is used
essentially as a cash management pool by each fund.
Investments:
Investments purchased by the City are recorded at cost, which
approximates market value. Investments in the Deferred
Compensation Agency Fund are adjusted to market value by the plan
trustee and are, therefore, recorded at market value.
Inventories:
Inventories are valued at cost, which approximates market, using
the first-in/first-out method. The costs of inventories are
recorded using the consumption method.
Plant in Service:
Assets comprising property and equipment in service in the
airport terminal, boating facility, and congregate housing
enterprise funds are stated at cost. Depreciation has been
provided by the use of the straight-line method over the
estimated economic lives of the assets.
Estimated lives of major asset categories are as follows:
Buildings - 20 and 40 years
Equipment - 14 years
Depreciation on enterprise fund assets obtained through capital
grants is closed to the related contributions account.
General Fixed Assets:
Fixed assets acquired by other than enterprise funds for
governmental purposes are recorded as expenditures in each fund
and are capitalized in the general fixed assets group of accounts.
Public domain, or infrastructure, fixed assets, such as roads,
25
J)
k)
1)
bridges, curbs and gutters, sidewalks, drainage systems, lighting
systems, water and sewer systems, and similar assets that are
immovable and of value only to the City are also capitalized in
the general fixed assets group of accounts. Assets contributed or
received as gifts are recorded in the general fixed assets group
of accounts at the fair market value when received. Depreciation
is not computed on general fixed assets. General fixed assets
acquired prior to June 30, 1972 are stated at estimated historical
cost determined by an appraisal as of that date with subsequent
additions recorded at cost. Upon disposal of significant property
items, the general fixed assets group of accounts is relieved of
the related cost, or estimated cost, and any receipt is normally
accounted for as revenue in the general fund.
Receivables and Payables:
Transactions between funds that represent lending or borrowing
arrangements outstanding at the end of a fiscal year are referred
to as "due from other funds" or "due to other funds". Long-term
portions of receivables from other funds are offset by a fund
balance reserve account to indicate that they are not available
for appropriation and are not expendable available financial
resources.
Real property taxes become a lien on the property as of January 1.
Taxes are levied the following July 1 and are due in equal
installments on August 15 and November 15. Property taxes are
recorded as receivable in the fiscal year in which they are due.
All trade and property tax receivables are shown net of an
allowance for doubtful accounts. All personal property taxes
receivable are included in the allowance account.
Compensated Absences:
Annual leave (vacation and sick leave) is recorded as an
expenditure in the period it is earned by the employees. The
total liability, which includes salary -related benefit payments,
is presented in the related fund balance sheet. The City makes
annual appropriations for the full amount of leave accrued, which
is available to employees at essentially their discretion. Each
employee is allowed to accumulate up to 80 days of annual leave
at the end of a calendar year, with any excess accumulation paid
in cash in the following January. The City's experience is that
most earned leave is used by employees in the subsequent year and
is paid with expendable available resources. Accordingly, the
City accrues all leave in the appropriate fund, and none in the
general long-term debt group of accounts.
Pension Plan:
Substantially all permanent employees of the City participate in
the Public Employees Retirement System (PERS) administered by the
State of Alaska. Pension costs are funded on a current basis as
26
required by PERS. Pension costs are recorded in the accounts as
funded.
m) Long -Term Debt Obligations:
The City records long-term debt of governmental funds at face
value in the general long-term debt group of accounts. Other
governmental fund obligations not expected to be financed with
current available financial resources are also recorded in the
general long-term debt account group. Long-term debt and other
obligations financed by proprietary funds are recorded as
liabilities in the appropriate funds.
The various debt service funds are used to accumulate monies for
the payment of principal and interest of general long-term debt.
The 1967 water, sewer, and streets debt service fund is used to
repay the 1967 water, sewer and streets general obligation debt.
The 1984/1986/1993 special assessment debt service fund is used to
repay 1984 special assessment debt with government commitment, the
1986 refunding special assessment debt with government commitment,
and the 1993 refunding special assessment debt with government
commitment.
n) Fund Equity Reserves and Designations:
The types of reserves and designations of the City's fund balances
and retained earnings are as follows:
Reserves for encumbrances represent outstanding purchase orders as
of the fiscal year end that will be honored by the City in the
next fiscal year.
The general fund reserve for contributions to capital improvements
represents legally segregated monies to be used, following
legislative approval, for capital outlays or for construction of
capital assets. A portion of interest revenue has been dedicated
to this reserve.
The general fund reserve for long-term receivable from debt
service funds is equal to amounts advanced to two debt service
funds, and are not expected to be repaid next fiscal year.
Reserves for debt service represent portions of debt service fund
balance restricted for payment of debt service.
The congregate housing enterprise fund reserve for repair and
replacement is established by ordinance to provide a source for
significant repairs, renewals, or replacement of fixed assets.
Fund balances of nonexpendable trust funds are reserved for
investments, and represent the amount of cash, cash equivalents,
and notes and interest receivable from land sales. In the case of
the general government land sales trust fund, by charter, the
monies cannot be spent. In the case of the airport land sales
27
trust fund, by ordinance, the monies cannot be spent, and the
interest earned is restricted for support of the Kenai Municipal
Airport.
Designations for subsequent year's expenditures represent the
portions of fund balances that were appropriated in the following
year's operating budget.
The general fund designation for self-insurance provides a source
of financing should the City replace an asset as a result of an
uninsured loss. The City does not normally maintain property
insurance for vehicles and small equipment.
The general fund designation for working capital segregates a
portion of fund balance for the purpose of meeting cash flow
requirements necessary for the normal daily operations of the
City. This balance has been set by ordinance at $400,000.
The general fund designation for equipment replacement provides
a source of financing to replace equipment, such as street
maintenance and firefighting equipment, as they become worn or
obsolete. Amounts are appropriated at the discretion of the City
Council to this account.
The general fund designation for athletic expenditures is financed
from revenues from oil, gas, and mineral rights of certain lands
donated to the City. The donor of the lands requested that such
revenues be set aside for athletic programs sponsored by the City.
Proprietary funds' contributions represent equity acquired through
grants and capital contributions from developers, customers, or
other funds.
o) Interest Earnings:
In accordance with the Kenai Municipal Code, interest earned on
City investments is recorded in the general fund, except that
interest earned on cash held in the airport land system special
revenue fund (including cash in the airport land sales trust fund)
and the airport terminal and congregate housing enterprise funds
is recorded in these funds.
p) Memorandum Only Totals - Combined Statements:
Total columns are presented in several of the combined financial
statements in the General Purpose Financial Statements. Those
total columns are captioned as memorandum only and are presented
for overview informational purposes only. They do not fairly
present financial position or results of operation for the
governmental unit as a whole in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. Interfund eliminations have not been made
in the aggregation of this data.
28
2. Cash and Investments
The City maintains a central treasury that is available for use by all
funds. Each fund type's portion of the central treasury is displayed on
the combined balance sheet as "Equity in Central Treasury".
At year-end, all of the City's bank deposits were either insured or
collateralized with securities held by the City's agent in the City's
name.
The City's investment policy authorizes the City to invest in:
(a) obligations of the United States or an agency or instrumentality
of the United States; (b) certificates of deposit with banks and
savings and loan associations; (c) repurchase agreements; (d) money
market mutual funds consisting primarily of obligations of the United
States or an agency or instrumentality of the United States, or
repurchase agreements collateralized with such obligations; and (e) the
Alaska Municipal League (A.M.L.) Investment Pool.
Generally, maturities cannot exceed two years from the date of purchase.

Pension Plans and Deferred Compensation Plan
a) Defined Benefit Pension Plan:
The City's employees participate in the Alaska Public Employees
Retirement System (PERS). For the year ended June 30, 1996, the
City's payroll for employees covered under PERS was $4,355,747 and
total payroll was $4,667,104.
1) Plan Description:
The Plan is a joint -contributor agent multiple -employer PERS
plan created by State of Alaska statutes effective January
1, 1961. Any municipality or other political subdivision of
the State may request to become an employer in this system.
Benefit and contribution provisions are established by State
law and may be amended only by the State Legislature. All
non -temporary employees working 15 hours or more per week
are participants in PERS.
30
2) Pension Benefits:
Employees hired prior to July 1, 1986, with five or more
years of credited service are entitled to annual pension
benefits beginning at normal retirement age 55 or early
retirement age 50. For employees hired after June 30, 1986,
the normal and early retirement ages are 60 and 55,
respectively. The normal annual pension benefit is equal tc
2% of the member's highest three-year average monthly
compensation for each of the first ten years of service,
2.25% for each of the second ten years of service and 2.50%
for each of the third ten years of service. All service
earned prior to July 1, 1986, will be calculated using the
2% multiplier. Employees with 30 or more years of credited
service (20 years for policemen and firemen) may retire at
any age and receive a normal benefit. The system also
provides death and disability benefits. Major medical
benefits are provided without cost to all employees hired
before July 1, 1986. Employees hired after June 30, 1986,
may elect major medical benefits.
3) Contributions:
Employees who are required to contribute 6.75% of their
annual salary to PERS, except Public Safety employees who
contribute 7.5% of their annual salary. The Plan's funding
policy provides for periodic employer contributions at
actuarially determined rates that expressed as percentages
of annual. covered payroll are sufficient to accumulate
sufficient assets to pay benefits when due. Contributions
to the City amounted to 1.03%.
4) Funding Status and Progress:
The Pension Benefit Obligation is a standardized disclosure
measure of the present value of pension benefit, adjusted
for the effects of projected salary increases and step -rate
benefits, estimated to be payable in the future as a result
of employee service to date.
The pension benefit obligation was computed as part of an
actuarial valuation performed as of June 30, 1995.
Significant actuarial assumptions used in the valuation
include:
a. A rate of return on the investment of present and
future assets of 8.0% per annum compounded annually;
b. Projected salary increases of 5.5% for the first five
years of employment and 4.5% per year thereafter;
C. Health cost inflation of 8.5% in 1996, trending
downward by 1.0% per year to 5.5% in 1999 and
thereafter;
31
d. Total inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price
Index for urban and clerical workers for Anchorage, is
assumed to increase 4.0% annually; and
e. Assets are valued at market value; effective June 30,
1994, the asset valuation method recognizes 20% of the
investment gain or loss in each of the current and
preceding four years.
The significant actuarial assumptions used to compute
contribution requirements are the same as those used to
compute the standardized measure of the pension benefit
obligation.
Assets in excess of the pension benefit obligation at June
30, 1995,were as follows (in thousands):
Pension benefit obligation:
Retirees and beneficiaries currently receiving
benefits and terminated employees not yet
receiving benefits $ 7,427
Current employees:
Accumulated employee contributions including
allocated investment income 2,597
Employer -financed vested 7,485
Employer -financed nonvested 308
Total pension benefit obligation 17,817
Net assets available for benefits 18,463
Assets in excess of pension benefit
obligation $ 646
5) Actuarially Determined Contribution Requirements and
Contributions Made:
_ The system's funding policy provides for actuarially
determined periodic contributions at rates that, for
individual employees, increase gradually over time so that
sufficient assets will be available to pay benefits when
due. The rate for the City's employee group as a whole has
tended to remain level as a percentage of annual covered
payroll. The contribution rate for normal cost is
determined using the projected unit credit actuarial funding
method. The unfunded accrued benefit liability is amortized
over 25 years.
The contribution to PERS for 1996 of $352,174 was made in
accordance with actuarially determined requirements computed
through an actuarial valuation performed as of June 30,
1994. The City contributed $44,864 (1.03% of current
covered payroll), and employees contributed $307,310 normal
cost (7.068 of current covered payroll). The City's
contribution consisted of (a) $491,764 normal cost (11.29%
32
3
of current covered payroll) less (b) $446,900 amortization
of assets in excess of pension benefit obligation (10.26% of
current covered payroll).
6) Trend Information:
Ten-year trend information and annual financial reports of
PERS are available from the individual system at Department
of Administration - Retirement and Benefits Division, Box
110203, Juneau, Alaska 99811-0203. Ten-year trend
information is also available in a table in the Statistical
Section of this Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.
Trend information gives an indication of the progress made
in accumulating sufficient assets to pay benefits when due.
Three-year trend information follows:
Year Ended June 30
1993 1994 1995
Net assets available for

Defined Contribution Pension Plan:
1) Plan Description:
All non -temporary employees working 15 hours or more per
week, after a six-month service requirement, are
participants in a supplemental retirement money purchase
plan administered under Section 401 (a) of the Internal
Revenue Code. This is a defined contribution plan
authorized by City ordinance whereby the City contributes 4%
of base wages, up to $1,500 per participant per calendar
year. No employee contributions are required. Employees
vest in the plan with no minimum service credit, following
the six-month waiting period.
2) Investments:
The plan does not own any notes, bonds, or instruments of
the City.
33
3) Contributions:
City (employer) contributions for the fiscal year ended June
30, 1996 were $122,200, based upon 4% of covered payroll of
$3,055,000. Total current -year payroll was $4,667,104. The
amount contributed was equal to the amount required under
City ordinance.
c) Deferred Compensation Plans:
Employees may voluntarily contribute to two deferred compensation
plans administered under Section 457 of the Internal Revenue Code.
The City retains title to such contributions until they are paid
or made available to the employees by the plan administrators.
These amounts, including earnings, are reported at market value as
assets and liabilities in the Deferred Compensation Agency Fund.
Assets in the plan at June 30, 1996, which are designated for
deferred compensation benefits, amounted to $2,699,917. The
City's fiduciary responsibility under the Plan is limited to the
transfer of the monies to the plan administrators in accordance
with the employees' instructions, and the authorization of
withdrawals to employees upon separation from City employment or
other events set out in the IRS Code.
S. Changes in Long -Term Debt
The following is a summary of general long-term obligation transactions
of the City for the year ended June 30, 1996:
General long-term debt,
Bonds retired

$ 3,391,000
(279,000)
$ 3,112,000
General obligation bonds payable at June 30, 1996 are comprised of the
following individual issues:
$1,400,000 of 1967 water, sewer and streets
serial bonds due in annual installments of
$20,000 to $85,000 through September 1, 1997;
interest at 5.3% to 6%
$1,902,206 of 1986 advance refunding serial bonds
that will be primarily repaid through special
assessment collections, but have full government
commitment, due in annual installments of $20,000
to $179,000 through October 1, 1996; interest at
4.5% to 7.4%
$1,430,000 of 1993 advance refunding serial bonds
that will be primarily repaid through special

Other long-term debt is a loss contingency of $1,400,000 for
contaminated soils described in footnote #16.
The annual requirements to pay all general obligation bonds outstanding
as of June 30, 1996, including interest payments of $344,675 are as
follows:
Fiscal Years Ending

2001
206,887
2002-2005
_689,384
$ 2.056,675
All general obligation bond payments are made from debt service funds.
Financing of debt payments of the 1967 water, sewer and streets bonds
is from fund balance in the related debt service fund. Financing of
debt payments of the 1986 advance refunding bonds and the 1993 advance
refunding bonds is from an annual transfer from the general fund and
from special assessment collections.
6. Defeasance of General Obligation Debt
In July, 1993 the City defeased certain general obligation bonds that
had been issued in 1986 by placing the proceeds of new bonds in an
irrevocable trust to provide for all future debt service payments on the
old bonds. Accordingly, the trust account assets and the liability for
the defeased bonds are not included in the City's financial statements.
At June 30, 1996, $1,285,000 of those general obligation bonds
outstanding are considered defeased.
7. Risk Management
The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of,
damage to, and destruction of assets; errors and omissions; injuries to
employees; environmental contamination; and natural disasters. Risk
financing activities are accounted for in various operating funds, with
unallocated or City-wide activities being accounted for in the general
fund.
The City purchases commercial insurance to transfer a substantial
portion of the above risks of loss. Property insurance is purchased to
provide coverage for buildings and heavy equipment, generally with
deductibles of $25,000. Various liability insurance policies are
purchased to provide protection against torts, injuries, and errors and
omissions. Most liability policies are written with low or zero
deductibles.
In addition to the deductibles on insurance policies, the City retains
risk of loss related to certain potential liabilities and property
damages. These include environmental liabilities, employment
discrimination, and vehicle property losses. Settled claims have not
35
exceeded commercial coverage in any of the past three fiscal years. The
City analyzes potential losses on a case -by -case basis to determine
amounts that should be accrued or disclosed in the financial statements.
At June 30, 1996, the City has recorded a liability in the general long-
term debt group of accounts in recognition of certain losses related
to contaminated soil remediation. The City has retained the risk of
loss for such exposures. There has been no change in the balance of
claims liabilities during the past year.
8. Operating Lease Revenues
The general fund and. the airport land system special revenue fund derive
revenues from the lease of unimproved land. These leases are generally
of a long-term nature and meet the criteria of operating leases.
Investment in these properties has been capitalized, where appropriate,
in the general fixed assets group of accounts.

The amounts represent negative cash balances in the respective funds.
In the case of the special revenue fund, a receivable from the State of
Alaska received shortly after year-end eliminated the negative cash
balance. In the case of the debt service funds, principal and interest
collections on future installments of special assessments should
eliminate the negative cash balances.

12. Fund Deficits
The 1974 advance
refunding debt
service fund
had a deficit
fund balance
at June 30, 1996
of $11,167. The deficit is
caused by delinquent
special assessments
receivable.
In time, the
delinquencies
will be
brought current
or the City will sell land at
a foreclosure
sale to
eliminate the deficit.
The 1984/1986/1993 special assessment debt service fund had a deficit
fund balance at June 30, 1996 of $249,689. The deficit is caused by
delinquencies on installments of special assessment districts. A
substantial amount of the delinquencies referred to above are in a
special assessment district known as Inlet Woods. At June 30, 1996,
delinquent installments, including penalties, on Inlet Woods totaled
$2,299,255. Because these delinquent special assessment receivables are
not considered available under the modified accrual basis of accounting,
they are included in deferred revenue rather than revenue.
The collection of the delinquent assessments, as well as unbilled
assessments of $1,407,763, in Inlet Woods is doubtful. As a result, the
38
City transferred $286,259 from the general fund to the 1984/1986/1993
debt service fund to help pay debt service on the related general
obligation debt, and a $270,417 transfer is budgeted for next fiscal
year.
13. Delinquent and Deferred Special Assessments
The following amounts of special assessments principal receivable were
delinquent and deferred at June 30, 1996:

The City is involved in foreclosure proceedings or legal action with
regard to the delinquent assessments.
14. Segment Information for Enterprise Funds
The City maintains three enterprise funds. The airport terminal fund
provides lease space for airport businesses that provide service to the
traveling public. The boating facility leases space for commercial fish
operations, and provides services such as fish unloading and launch ramp
to the general public. The congregate housing fund provides apartment
style housing for senior citizens.

15. Alaska Courthouse Financing
During fiscal year 1992-93, the City borrowed $4,275,000 from a bank to
help provide financing for construction of a State of Alaska courthouse.
The City also received $1,900,000 in grants from the State of Alaska to
provide additional financing. The City donated land valued at $196,600
as the building site. The City entered into a lease with the Alaska
Court System that requires the State of Alaska, subject to annual
39
appropriations, to make principal and interest payments to repay the
loan over a ten-year period.
The City has no obligation to repay the loan or to make rental payments.
The debt is not shown in the City's financial statements. The sole
security for the loan is an assignment to the bank by the City of its
rights under the lease. The City's obligation is to manage construction
of the courthouse, which was substantially completed in fiscal year
1993-94. The State of Alaska is responsible for operation, maintenance,
and repairs of the building. At the end of the ten-year lease period,
the State will own the building. The State is showing the loan as debt
in its financial statements. The city recorded activity related to
construction of the building in a capital project fund.
16. Contingencies
The City is involved in numerous lawsuits arising in the ordinary course
of operations, including actions commenced and claims asserted against
it. Management of the City does not believe that the ultimate resolution
of these lawsuits and claims will have any material effect upon its
financial position or results of operations, and therefore, no provision
has been made in the accompanying financial statements.
The City is aware of the probability of losses related to contaminated
soils remediation. Several City -owned locations appear to be
contaminated, primarily from various types of petroleum products. The
City administration has determined that it is probable that remediation
of one location will cost between $1,400,000 and $2,400,000, of which
$1,400,000 has been recorded as a liability in the general long-term
debt group of accounts. Ultimately, the liability will probably result
in an expenditure in the general fund.
The City is unable to determine a reasonable estimate of the costs to
remediate other sites. However, it is expected that such costs should
not exceed $1,500,000. No amounts have been accrued in the financial
statements to reflect those costs. It is anticipated that approximately
one-half of any eventual expenditure which may result in the future
from this expected loss will be charged to the general fund, with the
other one-half charged to the airport land system special revenue fund.
40
COMBINING AND INDIVIDUAL FUND AND
ACCOUNT GROUP STATEMENTS
GENERAL FUND
The General Fund is established to account for the revenues and expenditures
necessary to carry out basic governmental activities of the City such as
police protection, fire protection, recreation, planning, legal services,
administrative services, etc. Appropriations are made from the fund annually.
The fund will continue to exist indefinitely.
Revenue, for this and other funds, is recorded by source, i.e., taxes,
licenses, service charges, etc. Expenditures are recorded first by function,
then by activity and object of the expenditure.
General Fund expenditures are made primarily for current day-to-day operating
expenses and operating equipment. Capital expenditures for large-scale public
improvements, such as buildings, water and sewer projects or streets, are
accounted for elsewhere in the Capital Projects Funds or Enterprise Funds.

DEBT SERVICE FUNDS
These funds are established to account for the accumulation and disbursement of
money needed to comply with the interest and principal redemption requirements
for the general obligation bonds issued. The 1967 Water, Sewer, and Streets
Debt Service Fund has a fund balance large enough to service all future
principal and interest maturities. Debt related to the 1974 Advance Refunding
Debt Service Fund has been retired. The 1984/1986/1993 Special Assessment Debt
Service Fund is intended to be financed by special assessments.

CAPITAL PROJECTS FUNDS
Capital Projects Funds are established to account for the resources expended to
acquire assets of a relatively permanent nature. These funds evolved from the
need for special accounting for bond proceeds, grants and contributions for the
acquisition of capital assets.
Capital Projects Funds provide a formal mechanism which enables administrators
to ensure that revenues dedicated to a certain purpose are used only for that
purpose and further enables them to report to creditors, and other grantors of
capital projects fund revenue, that their requirements regarding the use of the
revenue were fully satisfied.

The municipal tax rate is limited by statute to three percent of the assessed
_ value of property assessed excepting that the municipalities may without
limitation as to the rate or amount, levy taxes annually in an amount sufficient
to pay the principal and interest on bonds as they shall become due.
Taxes become due in two installments (August 15th and November 15th). The
entire tax becomes delinquent if the first installment is not paid by August
15th. A penalty of eight percent is applied to all delinquent accounts after
the first installment is due. After the second installment due date, all
delinquent accounts incur a penalty of ten percent. Real property tax lien
foreclosure is initiated in January of the year following the calendar year in
which the tax is levied.
Tax levies of the City of Kenai are collected by the Kenai Peninsula Borough.
Current collections are distributed to the City of Kenai based upon the
proportion of its levy to total City and Borough levies, adjusted by Borough and
City exemptions.

To: Mayor John Williams
And Kenai City Council
Subject: Fencing around the Pre School Building;
Good Evening. My name is Amy Williams and I am the president of the
Kenai Co-operative Pre School located in the Kenai Historical Society
Building. As you know the building belongs to the City of Kenai and is leased
to the Kenai Historical Society for $1.00 per year. They in turn lease it to our
non profit group for $400.00 per month. We maintain the inside of the
building for the benefit of those children enrolled and also take care of snow
removal and sanding of the parking area and walk. Last year after lengthy
discussions with the Historical Society director, Mr. Meeks, we came to a
successful decision to r. ecarpet the building. The pre-school purchased and
installed the carpet at our expense and pay for it's cleaning on a regular basis.
Recently we discussed with Mr. Meeks the possibility of installing a
permanent fence around a small portion of the play yard to protect the
children from not only the possibility of running into the street but to keep the
moose away from the children as well. During the fall and spring we take the
kids to the small play area furnished by the city next to the Fine Arts
Building. It has been our experience in the past that we seem to be
responsible for the cleanup and care of the park as well. During the Winter
because of the snow in the park, we cannot use the park as it is not
maintained so we must: stay near our building. At the present we have a
temporary safety fence that is both unsightly and we feel inappropriate as
well. This prompts the need as indicated for installation of the fence for
safety and security of the children. We are willing to accept the responsibility
of not only acquiring the fencing material bilt of having it installed as well.
My presence here this evening is to ask permission from you as owners of the
facility to allow us to acquire and install the fence. Since it is on city property,
we would be more than willing to have your city engineer observe the
installation to insure that it is done correctly.
Thank you for your support in this matter;

RE: KENAI ANIMAL CONTROL SHELTER
Dear Council Members:
�s a
�14 dell
� � Q
fit,?Ip� f eF �
Jack LaShot and Bob Springer have been in contact with our office showing renewed interest in
construction of the referenced project. It was pointed out that the city is considering a new site
for the building further up Willow Street. The new site would provide cost savings by reducing the
access drive length and sewer extras related to the original site. The amount of this savings
could be $10,000 to $15,000, but cannot be ascertained until revised site drawings are prepared.
We have recently completed bidding phase services for the Ninilchik School wing replacement.
In my sixteen years of professional practice here, I have never seen better prices on this quality
of construction. Nine general contractors submitted bids with the low bid at $2,704,000 coming
in $115,000 under the next low. This equates to $126/sq.ft. for construction starting under cold
weather conditions! The Ninilchik facility has similar building materials to the Animal Control
facility. In addition, it has an elevator, extensive computer wiring, large windows, and abundant
casework.
We urge the council to take ad(er
e of t e bid ready documents in their position and proceed
with construction. Using $145 quare f of the Animal Control Shelter as presently detailed,
would come in at approximatel4,000. Considering the School bid results, this project's bid
could come in considerably lowave ontacted Bill Nelson and we are in a position to make
necessary site/bid package mo in a two week time period. We offer these services, as
well as bid phase services, for a not to exceed amount of $8,000. If the council allows us to
proceed with the bid package now, this approach will allow bid opening to occur on or about April
16, 1997.
City personnel and our firm have expended a great amount of effort to design a facility that
meets the City's animal control needs with a durable solution. Rather than discussing deletion of
elements or substituting lesser quality construction, the City now has an opportunity to use
existing bid ready documents in completing this much needed facility within the budget limits
requested.
Sincerely,
KLUGE & ASSOCIATES

SUBJECT: Fuel Bids
I opened the bids for furnishing the City of Kenai fuel for the next year.
Furnishing and Dispensing Fuel
at the Vendors Service Station
Resolution No. 97-9 awards this bid to Mapco - Express, Inc. who is the
apparent low bidder. Mapco's unit price is lower for each type of fuel.
Furnish and Deliver Fuel to
Dock and Generator Tanks
Analyzing the fuel bids for furnishing and delivering fuel to the Dock and
generator tanks was a little more difficult. Kenai Airport Fuel had a lower
unit price for #1 diesel and gasoline, but a higher price for #2 diesel than
Mapco Express.
The Kenai Finance Department gave me the following quantities that the city
used from February, 1996 to January, 1997:
#1 Diesel = 1,409 gallons
#2 Diesel = 43,714 gallons
Gasoline = 6,200 gallons
When you multiply it all out, Doyle's Fuel Service -has the lowest grand total
for bid analysis.
Resolution No. 97-8 awards Doyle's Fuel Service the bid for Furnishing and
Delivering fuel to the Dock and city generators.

Memorandum
Date: February 28, 1997
To: Kenai City Council
From: Richard A. Ross, City Manager
RE: Resolution 97-9 Substitute
The Administration recommends that you approve the Substitute Resolution 97-9.
This would result in the following course of action:
1. MAPCO would be awarded the furnish and deliver contract for supply of
gasoline. They have agreed to do this at the bid price.
2. The Administration would implement a plan to pump diesel from its own
pumps. Once the fuel system is in place, a contract for furnishing diesel
to the tank at the City yard would be bid. In the interim, the present
supplier has agreed to extend the terms of last year's contract.
The MAPCO station is not acceptable for supplying diesel to the City's heavy
equipment and Fire Department vehicles. Pump access for major equipment is poor
and competitive with retail traffic entering from two directions. In order to park
parallel to the pump block, some equipment would have to enter through the bowling
alley parking lot. Equipment with poor visibility would require two employees for
safety purposes. Moving Airport equipment to and from the MAPCO station results
in significant time loss over the period of a year. Time loss waiting for the pump
block to clear would also be significant over time.
February 26, 1997 Memorandum 2
The City can reactivate its diesel tank in the following manner:
a. Abandon the present pump island. This would alleviate the geed for
redoing the underground piping and construction of a large apron area.
b. All plumbing would be placed above ground inside the containment area.
A secured pump control and the dispensing hose would also be located
within the diked containment area.
This could be accomplished with the necessary' new underground wiring, and
lighted for $5,000 or less. At a future date, a small concrete apron could be added
and the tanks covered if needed.
...
MEMORANDUM
TO: Richard Ross, City Manager
FROM: Jack La Shot, City Engineerq�—
DATE: February 27, 1997
SUBJECT: Fuel system
You requested an estimate to rework the maintenance yard fuel system to
utilize the diesel tank only, and eliminate the existing dispensers. We think
this can be done for $5,000 or less. The following items would need to be
done:
• Retrench and install new electrical wiring from the crew building to
the tanks.
• Use the existing pump in the diesel tank.
• Install a back flow solenoid valve in the line to the nozzle.
• Install a pump control and enclosure (secured).
• Install a flow meter, if necessary.
• Install a new yard light.
This work would allow us to use the existing diesel system only. We could
make other improvements, such as a concrete apron and roof, later if we
choose. We can also convert the gasoline tanks to diesel, or use the same
pumping method for gas.

PROBLEM: There is no specific and directed managemeat plan for Northam District sockeye
Asher= and hocks The Northern District seutetters are a long-term historical fthety in Upper
Cook Inlet. However, based on the tremendous growth in the Ream River sockeye ftery, the
focus of ADF&O staff has bean on the Central District harvest. Over time, the Northern District
has caught proportionally lase and leu nordm bound sockeye. Over time. the mumptnent of
Upper Cook Inlet has resulted in a re -allocation of sotthem bound sockeye to the Central District
st the expense of the Northam District.
At present. ADF&O ia-eeasoa sockeye objections for the entire Northers Dbuxt focus
only on ttte two sockeye escapement goals of too= to L%000 for the Yentna Rivet and the
Big Lake goal of 50.000. If these goals tee met (sad they have not consistently been ma over the
past decade). the dep ttmant assumes that adequate numbers of sockeye escaped into other
Northern District drainages. Any "surplus" sockeye beyond these two escapement requirements
are managed to be caught in the Central District. The department has nor direction from the
Board to p uvide any sockeye forNortbem District matters. As matters now :land, t:early
ninety percent of Northern District sockeye which era m ght in Upper Cook Inlet ere caught by
Central District fishers, while only ten percent are caught by those setnetters tlshing in the
t=lnal fiab*y. This is one of the clearest cores of an hroeroept fishery taking the vast majority
offish bound for another diskdct from the tubers of that distrid The Imbalance needs to be
todtessed. '
wgAT Wu.L HAPPEN IF NOZ H. O IS DONE? Northern District tetruttsrs will continue to
suffer economically. Northern District seme azz will continua tq harvest a decreasing proportion
of Northam District soekr ye. Native fishers Monk and point Possession) will continue to be
sevasly compromised in trek already marginalized cominetcial fishery.
WHO IS UM LY'TO BE BIsNEFr W: Northern District commercial setnet ushem northern
bound sockeye and coho stocks which are mixed stocks and which am caught in great abundance
by the highly eiiletent Central District drift flee4 the Village of Tyotmk, subsistence and sports
fishers in the Notthem District.
wH0 M LBCELY TO SUFFM Central Distract drift gillnet fisher who wilL of necessity, be
managed is such a mamma so as to be more focused on Central District stocks and less on
Northern District stocks.
OTkM SOL'EMONS CONSWERED: Taking specific periods away from the Central District
drift gilita ileac. If the fleet were to lose two additional periods between July 10 and July 20,
there would undoubtedly be more fish in the Northam Distrim and Northern District $Matters
would catch one In five of the fish bound for Northern District Livers. Howem. specific closures
on specific dates tray wodc snail in some yew; and sot work welt in other. Tbercforv, it was
thought that better and more flexible management would be an allocation of twenty percent of
the projected size of the Northern District sockeye return would be a better solution.

February 27' they will be offering new cards which will be 33 cents a minute.
Airport Commission Page 2
Minutes February 13, 1997
Davey continued noting they offer good international rates and gave examples of
Mexico as $.96 per minute and Japan is $35 per minute. Davey commented that
there are a lot of travelers in Alaska in the summer who use the cards. Davey
noted they have a machine at the Anchorage Convention and Visitor's Bureau and
they have a lot of international travelers who use the cards. Davey stated they are
easy to use, economical, and easy to budget. Davey noted some people use them
in place of long distant calling cards. Davey explained that a $10 card could be
used for 30-1 minute calls. Davey stated that when you dial a number, you are
told how many minutes are left on the card and added that cards are debited in one
minute increments.
Davey stated the important things for the Commission to consider is that they are
state certified with the APUC. Davey stated this is important because there are fly
by night businesses, who have purchased minutes, sold them, never paid the long
distance carrier, and then left with consumers holding worthless cards. Davey
stated the cards are only worth the value of the card so if lost or stolen you only
lose the value of the card. Davey explained that the APUC regulates all
telecommunications in Alaska. Davey stated the other factor is the EKKA (?)
charges which they do not currently pay. EKKA charges, Davey explained, are
used to subsidize communities who cannot support communications. Davey
explained that if companies aren't certified that a lot of money leaves Alaska that
should be a part of that source. Davey noted they are bonded as a requirement
through the APUC.
Davey stated she had included a copy of the company's certification and a copy of
the contract. Davey noted they pay 15 percent commissions on revenue. Davey
noted the only other airport machine their company has is in the Juneau airport.
Davey stated she put a copy of Juneau's revenue sheet from last year in the
packet. Davey stated ACCI maintains the machines. Davey stated Juneau makes
about $200 a month. Davey stated the airport will only provide space and a plug
in. Davey stated she included a copy of ACCI's insurance policy and noted they
can add the Kenai Airport to their policy.
Hudson, noting she understood revenue would be different than at the airport,
asked how well the Three Bears and mall machines did. Davey stated that the
Three Bears didn't do too well noting they had gone out of business which probably
indicated that traffic hadn't been too well there. Davey stated she expects Kenai
Airport to be seasonal adding she felt revenue would come from fisherman,
tourists, and business people. Davey noted this is the same market as the Juneau
airport. Davey stated that fisherman seem to be cash people who like using the
calling cards. Davey stated it is hard to say how well it will do, but if it doesn't do
well, they will remove it. Davey explained the contract is for a 90 day trial basis
and is a 2 year contract but can be removed with 30 day notice from either party.
Knackstedt asked about Anchorage and Fairbanks airports and why they don't have
the machines in those locations. Davey stated Fairbanks had been difficult to deal
Airport Commission Page 3
Minutes February 13, 1997
with but they are working on it. Davey noted they are a DBE noting she had out a
copy of that in the packet al o.
Knackstedt asked why Fairbanks would be so strict? Davey stated she wasn't sure
noting that last time thev just said they didn't want it. Anchorage has stated they
put it under their concession and unless they can deal with the concessionaire
(W.H. Smith), they don't want to deal with it.
Davey commented it is a good public service. Davey noted that travelers from
outside find out that their cards don't work here so their phone cards provide a
service for them.
Thibodeau stated he was wondering who would actually use the cards in Kenai,
noting most are sport fisherman, oil businessmen, reiterating he was not sure who
would use the card. Thibodeau stated he wondered about people who would want
to use the calls as a non -traceable method and not sure he wants to encourage
that. Davey stated they are traceable somewhat. Davey noted she has not seen a
problem with that. Davey added that they are speculating who is buying the cards
based upon the area wherein they are bought. Davey noted they have one machine
in the Tok grocery store that does really well, especially in the summer, and holds
it's own in the winter.
Koerber asked Ernst if he could see any detriments. Ernst stated he thought they
would have to go out to bid. Ernst noted they would need to discuss it with the
attorney and put it out for bid. Ernst noted he used one of the cards that Ms.
Davey had given him to try noting he found it quite convenient.
Davey stated the Commission is welcome to call the Juneau Airport noting they did
it through the DBE without going out to bid. Ernst stated he felt the only way they
got around the bid process was by not limiting it to one agency. Ernst stated there
is an advantage to having a DBE.
Thibodeau stated he would like to take a further look at this before they make a
recommendation on the matter. Knackstedt asked Ernst to see what the attorney
had to say about the proposal.

a. Car Rental Proposal
Thibodeau noted that the Council had decided it would be okay if the area was
divided into three areas and to see how the agencies wanted to do that and come
Airport Commission
Minutes
Page 4
February 13, 1997
up with a plan. Thibodeau noted there were car rental representatives in the
audience and stated if there is a plan the Commission would like to see it.
Dan Van Zee of Hertz represented the agencies. Van Zee stated he spent a couple
hours with Ernst's assistant, Holland, looking at what would be the most
economical way to divide the space. Van Zee noted they looked at several
scenarios. Van Zee stated the most feasible way, noting all agencies are in
agreement, was to remove three partitions. Van Zee explained, the partition
between Budget and what used to be National would be removed to 12 to 18
inches from the back wall. Van Zee noted there is plumbing that feeds the hot
water heat, that would be left: with a stub wall. Van Zee stated they would fill in
the space that is in the existing front counter and make it match the rest of the
counter. Van Zee noted that space would become Budget and would essentially
double that space.
Van Zee stated they then move down one partition. Van Zee noted there is a
partition between Avis and Hertz. Van Zee explained they would be doing basically
the same thing there, remove that one partition and fill in the counter as stated
above. That would become the Avis space, doubling that space.
Van Zee explained moving down to the last partition, drawing attention to the small
counter section at the end that was a booking agency last summer, they would
remove the partition between the old Payless space and the small counter and that
would become the Hertz space. Van Zee noted the spaces wouldn't be divided
equally, Hertz would be about 15 feet long and the others about 20 feet. Van Zee
noted he would gain more counter space because it is "L" shaped.
Van Zee explained this proposal would involve moving only three partitions and
noted it wouldn't involve any electrical or plumbing. Van Zee did note there was
one electrical conduit which was surface mounted on the Hertz partition between
Budget and National that can be removed very easily.
Van Zee stated this proposal is suitable to all the agencies and would suit their
needs. Van Zee stated they feel that this wouldn't be cost prohibitive and they
would be willing to absorb the cost.
Ernst stated the next step would be to get something on paper showing what it will
look like when complete so the council and commission would have something to
look at. Ernst stated he doesn't have a problem with the concept noting everything
could be put back if they chose to in the future. Ernst noted that since the
agencies have expressed an interest in doing the work at their expense that he
didn't know how that will work. Ernst explained that if the city decided to go back
to the four spaces he didn't know if they would lose their investment.
Van Zee stated they would like to see the leases be renewed for five years.
Thibodeau noted that if at the end of the five years the council determined that
Airport Commission Page 5
Minutes February 13, 1997
they wanted it back to four spaces, that could be done. Thibodeau stated he
understood that they would be leasing three spaces, i of the five for the five years.
Van Zee stated that was his understanding adding tt ey understood they may lose
their investment in the future. Ernst ooteu' They would be responsible for the
additional space in their lease. Ernst noted they ^ceded to get something on paper
showing how it would look adding the council is concerned about ascetics.
Thibodeau stated he agreed they need some kind of drawings to go forward with
and some cost estimates. Ernst stated they still have Payless in limbo adding
probably until June when their lease expires. Van Zee noted they have looked at
how the modifications could be made without much interruption of business. Van
Zee stated that Holland had stated there were some drawings of the airport and
asked if they could possibly get copies of those. Ernst stated they have drawings
which they could get copies of. Ernst stated that he would suggest that they be
prepared for the next Airport Commission meeting.
Thibodeau asked what the date was for the Payless lease, the end or beginning of
June. Ernst stated he would have to check. Knackstedt asked if modifications
could be done before the end of June. Ernst stated he didn't feel they could make
any changes until the lease expires.
Van Zee asked if the city's position was to let the lease expire. Ernst stated the
city doesn't have a choice because they cannot find him to serve notice which is
required by law. Van Zee noted that if that were to take place, it could be vacated
earlier. Ernst stated all they need is a signature. Van Zee stated they understand it
is contingent on the space being available.
Thibodeau stated he felt they were on the right track. Thibodeau asked about how
they will combine the counters and if they will have two openings. Van Zee stated
they will add counter top to make it look like a continuous counter.
Ernst stated the plans would have to be approved.
Thibodeau asked for drawings and an explanation of how they propose to complete
the work so they will have something to pass onto council.
Gary Zimmerman of AVIS asked if they should as a group of concessionaires put
together a proposal for council. Ernst stated proposals should go to the Airport
Commission who would make the recommendation to council.
Knackstedt asked about the city having requirements for contractors. Ernst stated
there are guidelines they must follow. Knackstedt asked if they can contract with
someone to do the work or if the city will have to do that. Ernst stated that they
could have someone do the work as long as they had the necessary insurance.
Zimmerman asked if there was a dollar figure that they get into trouble with the
RFP. Ernst stated that since they will be doing it, it shouldn't involve the city.

Ernst stated the city will need to see the plans and approve them. Ernst noted he
will check and clarify this with the city attorney.
7. New Business
8. Airport Manager's Report
Ernst drew attention to the information he included in the packet and explained that
the pie chart in the packet was corrected from the information provided last month.
Ernst stated he has a rendering of the fire training center proposed for Marathon
Road and the layout for the floor plan. Ernst added he has the engineer's drawing
for the proposed taxiway extension and the grass, i.e. gravel strip. Ernst stated
they may be interested in reviewing these after the meeting. Ernst noted they have
rough figures at $2.3 million at this time. Knackstedt asked if this includes an
extension on the float pond and asked about the fill. Ernst stated they opted not to
take fill from the float plane basin to extend it. Ernst stated they ran into some
problems with the environmental. Ernst they found it wasn't feasible to use the fill
noting it simplified the project by not having to include that area in the
environmental. Ernst stated the environmental for the fire training center is
complete.
Ernst advised the budget will be turned in tomorrow to finance. Ernst stated one of
the projects that may interest the Commission is crack sealing noting the last time
it was done was in 1992. Ernst noted this will include the three main taxiways and
the main ramp. Ernst stated city employees will seal the secondary taxiways.
Ernst stated they are estimating that project at $135,000.
Ernst stated they had the Part 139 Airport Certification Inspection the last three
days and came through with flying colors with the exception of the ACM which
needs updated. Ernst stated that with all manuals, there are pages that need
updated. Ernst stated they plan to get with FAA and they may change the format
of the ACM. Ernst gave credit for this to Holland noting he was busy with the
budget.
Hudson asked when they would do the crack sealing. Ernst stated he assumed
toward the end of July after fish haul season. Ernst stated there is a whole
diagram of how the airport is closed at different sections to facilitate the work.
Ernst noted that last time it was a seven day project.
Ernst stated that at the next meeting, after the regular meeting, they will go into an
information meeting for the master plan.

Koerber stated she had visited with the fire chief when he had the Russians with
him. Koerber noted how excited he was and that she was impressed with the
project. Ernst stated the project is at about $10.6 million. Thibodeau asked if there
is an estimate of how many people it will bring in for training. Ernst stated there
are 37 certified airports in the state which are mandated by FAA to have live fire
training every year. Ernst stated they initially started with between 200 and 300
per year but anticipate it growing.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
ITEM J=3 HARBOR COMMISSION REPORT.
_Harbor Commission met on March 3.
_Bill Nelson gave a report on the Alaska Science and Technology
Foundation, ASTF, application that he is working on for the city. The
Project is entitled "Kenai Bluff Erosion Control". It involves using
culverts to protect against wave and current induced erosion. Harbor
Commission requested that I forward the application to council with
their recommendation to send the application in. The project cost
estimate is $500,000. I plan on requesting the application be placed
in the next council packet for March 19.
Steve Attleson was added to the agenda at the meeting. He
presented his idea of an oil spill response company to handle spills
in the Kenai River. He proposed a consortium of the 8 companies
that sell fuel on the Kenai River as the funding source including the
city. He said he was not prepared with a written plan as yet but
wanted to know if we were at all interested. When pressed for cost
estimate he said $25-30,000 per each of the 8 companies the first
year and $5,000 per year thereafter. Harbor Commission was non
committal and asked for more information. They also asked
commissioner Barry Eldridge to check on what CICPRI has to offer.
_KENAI PUBLIC JOCK LEASES OF STATION 2 & 3 Harbor
Commission went through the changes that the city attorney
requested in the bidding document. The commission approved of the
bidding documents. City Council had a memo in their last packet that
listed some of the items in the bid but did not discuss the items. (1.)
Sealed bids (2.) Bid one station for 4 years and the other for 2 years.
When the 2 year lease is up, bid it for 4 years. Therefore, every 2

CHRISTIAN MOVED TO ACCEPT THE APPLICATION, PZ97-3. NORD SECONDED THE
MOTION.
PUBLII: HEARING OPENED.,
Steve Stanton —applicant. Mr. Stanton offered an explanation to the requested permit.
Stanton stated they wanted to put an addition on to their residence. Stanton stated they
hired an architect. When the city inspector checked it, he stated they would have to move
the addition because it was over the boundary lines for the lot. Stanton stated they went
back to the architect and paid for new plans. They then moved the residence six feet in the
direction toward Lot 9 and built the addition. Stanton stated that when the surveyor came
out for the final survey he noted they were 16.4 instead of 20 feet. Stanton stated he
wanted the commission to know this was not intentional and reiterated the steps they had
taken to try to alleviate the problem when they were first notified.
Christian asked Stanton which way they had moved the plans. Stanton stated on the north
side where it shows 24.6, they had originally planned to have it flush with that end. Stanton
stated that would have put it over. Stanton stated the inspector said they needed 20 feet
there. Stanton stated they told the architect what they needed and he redid the plans.
Christian asked which way they moved the addition. Stanton stated the addition moved
south.
Glick clarified that the house was already there. Stanton stated that is correct.
Stanton stated he had a letter from a neighbor, Brian Gabriel, who owns Lot 6, the house
behind them. Glick asked for the letter to be entered into the record. Glick informed the
Commission the letter is of non -objection.
PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED.
Bryson stated it appears that the encroachment meets the criteria for granting the permit.
Bryson noted it was a situation he didn't create and it happened anyway. Bryson noted that
what is the closest adjacent lot is in non -objection. Bryson stated he will be supporting the
motion.
Christian asked La Shot after they were told they needed to make the change and they
made the change, Christian asked if it comes back to the building inspector. La Shot noted
that was prior to the building permit being issued. La Shot noted that after the process
starts they only have the plot plan until after the structure is built. La Shot noted staff
cannot verify property lines. Christian asked if they didn't have to resubmit the plans. La
Shot stated he felt the did that and noted the plot plan does not verify setbacks.

b. Kennels in Suburban Residential Subdivisions —Discussion
Christian noted this had been brought up at the last meeting. Christian noted he had
received complaints in his area about people having more than three dogs and kennel
permits. Christian stated he has noticed that the codes and zones don't address kennels
other than the three dog limit which anything over that requires a kennel license. Christian
stated he thought the Commission should look at this to see if they should do something to
restrict kennels in small subdivision. Christian asked the Commission if they should
address the issue or not. Christian noted in the RR zone it addresses animal boarding but
not in RS zones. Christian noted that area was left blank in the Land Use Table.
Bryson stated in times past when there was a blank in the zoning code it meant that it
wasn't an allowed use. The present interpretation of the code is that when there is a blank
a conditional use application is an option. Bryson stated it goes through the same exercise
when individuals have requested modifying a district. Bryson stated that may be an
appropriate way to approach it and t clarify the zoning code as to where blanks for use
exist.
Planning & Zoning Commission Page 4
Minutes February 26, 1997
Christian stated that the animal control officer is not viewing it in that way and he is issuing
permits on his own interpretation rather than going through a conditional use process.
Christian noted that one person is making that decision. Christian stated he thought this
would be a good place to address this.
Mahurin asked Chris:;cin to define kennel and how many there are that they hw,,e concern
about. Christian stated he knows of three in his subdivision which is supposes to have a
limited number of animals in the covenants which they cannot enforce. Christian stated
according to the city any number more than three requires a kennel permit. Christian stated
he didn't see any different between a commercial and private kennel in the code but noted
that Mr. Godek does differentiate between the two. Christian stated if it is for commercial
uses, it is not allowed in subdivisions. Christian stated that one was just issued and one
was just turned down in Woodland Subdivision.
Werner-Quade stated that after the last meeting she talked to Brett Reid at the shelter and
Mr. Godek, the animal control officer. Werner-Quade stated that one thing that came up is
that there aren't really any dog lots in the city. Werner-Quade noted there are two different
types of kennels, commercial, and anything other than three dogs. Werner-Quade stated is
that people have to obtain a permit which is renewed annually. Werner-Quade reported in
1994 there were 2 issued, 1995 six issued, in 1996 six, in 1997 2 were issued. Werner-
Quade noted it is a $25 fee and given according to the space that Mr. Godek feels is
appropriate for the number of animals being asked for by the owners. Werner-Quade
stated she reviewed the memo as to views for the next step. Werner-Quade stated she
feels people in Alaska need to have animals. Werner-Quade stated she feels Mr. Godek
has done a good job of screening owners who wish to have more than three pets. Werner-
Quade stated the only problem she could see is any kind of health hazard noting Mr. Godek
is not in favor of unsanitary conditions.
Werner-Quade, regarding the memo, stated she felt that if they address kennels in the
zones specified by subdivision, felt it should be changed to dwelling. Werner-Quade stated
she felt if they zone kennels it should be by the dwelling. Werner-Quade stated that as for
the whole thing, she doesn't feel there should be any change at this time except to review
the blank spaces.
Goecke stated he reviewed the information and noted he feels a little different. Goecke
agreed that some people want to have an animal. Goecke stated he doesn't feel anyone
needs to have more than three dogs in a residential neighborhood noting he doesn't care
where they live. Goecke stated they have neighbors and they will be outside part of the
time. Goecke stated he feels within the city limits that anyone who has more than three
dogs should be in violation of a city code. Goecke stated he is in favor of going beyond
working with a particular zone but in favor of an ordinance in the city that no one dwelling
can have more than three dogs.
Glick asked if the exception would be a commercial kennel in commercial zone. Goecke
stated there should be no exceptions.
Planning & Zoning Commission Page 5
Minutes February 26, 1997
Bryson noted he has taken a middle ground on the subject. Bryson stated looking at the
present code, the RR is appropriate for (UP application. Bryson added he feels that small
lot situations, whether RS 1 or RS, they should be limited to three dogs. Bryson stated
preference would be that small lots be the classification rarely utilized, in RS 1 or RS 2.
Bryson stated his intent would be for situations like Woodland and Redoubt subdivisions to
be limited to three dogs.
Mahurin stating she agrees with Werner-Quade noting she doesn't feel there is a major
problem that needs to be changed. Mahurin added that without her dog, she would be lost.
Mahurin stated she keeps her dogs in a small kennel and on a run and the neighbors let
their cats run and torment the dogs. Mahurin stated if they talk about dogs, then they will
have to talk about cats. Mahurin stated she doesn't feel it necessary at this point in the
development of the city. Mahurin stated she has had wonderful luck with the animal control
officer in the city. Mahurin stated she is not comfortable at this point without a big demand
from the public to jump in and change the current code.
Nord stated she lives in Woodland and sympathizes with the people there and the situation
they are encountering. Nord stated she feels this is depriving other home owners of their
quiet, peaceful enjoyment of their property. Nord stated she is inclined to go with a
three dog restriction in the RS and RS 1 zones.
Christian stated they already have on the books a three dog limit. Christian stated he felt
they were discussing if they should allow more than three dogs or cats. Christian stated he
would feel justified in adding any animal type. Christian stated in certain areas with large
concentrations of people and animals problems develop. Christian added he felt it would
make it easier for the animal control people to control the problem. Christian stated he is
not against people having animals in any way.
CHRISTIAN MOVED TO PROCEED WITH DEVELOPING SOME KIND OF
RESTRICTIONS IN THE RS ZONES CONSISTENT WITH THE RR ZONES AND POLL
MEMBERS TO SEE WHERE THEY CAN COME TO AN AGREEMENT. MOTION
SECONDED BY NORD.
Mahurin stated she is uncomfortable with the RS zone adding she understands a problem
in a small area of the city and doesn't feel it proper to make an ordinance to cover all areas.
Mahurin stated that perhaps they need to try to address the small area rather than the
entire city.
Goecke, noting he understands Mahurin's statement, but thinks there are a lot of people
who are complaining that we don't hear about because of their neighbors having more than
one animal, or having them running loose. Goecke noted that most people don't know that
they can control that by calling the animal control officer. Goecke noted one instance
wherein he told the people to call the animal control officer. Goecke stated he thinks there

are a lot of people who don't know they have an avenue. Goecke noted he still feels strong
about putting it into the code about anyone having more than three dogs in the city.
Bryson stated his interpretation of the code is that the RR 1- me is more restrictive than the
IRS zone as regards animals. Bryson added he feels that s inappropriate. Bryson noted he
has already stated his other opinions.
Glick stated that perhaps if the animal control officer isn't interpreting it correct, he should
be informed. Bryson stated he feels he is interpreting it correct.
Christian stated that he is not necessarily recommending that all IRS zones be restricted to
three dogs but would like to look further with the small subdivisions being more restricted.
Christian stated that larger lots could be allowed a variance. Christian stated he would like
to continue the discussion and perhaps take another step before turning it down.
Mahurin stated in theory she agrees. Mahurin added that she knows many residents who
have dogs who have puppies. Mahurin stated if there is a problem the neighbors should
feel free to contact animal control. Mahurin stated that she would be willing to vote yes if
they were talking about a concept but added she is not comfortable with the entire IRS zone.
Mahurin stated if the intent is to bring up something before it is presented to the public she
is agreeable. Christian noted that is his intent.
Glick asked for motion to be read. Kebschull read the motion.
Mahurin stated in hearing the motion she would have to vote no and asked Christian to
come up a broader motion. Mahurin stated she is hearing that they want to bring IRS in line
with RR adding she is not sure what they have discussed in intention.
Goecke stated, looking at the Land Use Table under animal boarding, the RR now in both
cases is conditional use. Goecke noted that as Bryson noted that before if the square was
left blank, that was not permitted. Goecke stated that now the interpretation is that it could
be permitted. Bryson stated that is basically it. Goecke asked what would be wrong with
making IRS zones also a conditional use but they do have to come before P&Z rather than
the animal control officer. Goecke commented on the neighbors having puppies which
takes it over the limit is understandable. Goecke stated everyone knows that on any given
day you can go to Carrs or K Mart and get puppies. Goecke stated that putting IRS zones,
under animal boarding, as conditional use should not be a problem.
Nord stated that perhaps they need a definition of animal boarding before proceeding.
Glick asked La Shot if he had a definition. Christian noted that the issue of puppies is
addressed in the code and at three or four months considered an adult dog and covered
under the animal control ordinance. La Shot stated there is no definition for animal
boarding in the zoning code. Nord stated they would need to create a definition for animal
boarding that would say if it would include kennels.

Minutes February 26, 1997
Werner-Quade stated when she talked to animal control officer there were two gray areas,
one is the definition of hobbyist as opposed to the commercial venture and what constitutes
a private kennel and what is actually a kennel. Werner-Quade noted she feels they should
review this. Werner-Quade stated another area that was gray was Zhen how many can they
have. This seemed to be up to Mr. Godek and what he seemed reasonable number for the
size of the lot and the facilities available for the dogs. kNerner-Quade noted that Mr. Godek
does a really good job but asked what happens if he isn't here and someone else would be
put in his position.
Christian asked to withdraw the motion. Glick asked if any objections to Christian
withdrawing the motion. No objection noted.
CHRISTIAN MOVED TO CONTINUE THE DEVELOPMENT OF A MORE CLARIFIED
ANIMAL BOARDING/KENNEL LAND USE. MOTION SECONDED BY MAHURIN.
Glick asked for the motion to be read. Kebschull read the motion and asked for clarification
if Mr. Christian meant the Land Use Table. Christian stated that was his intent.
Bryson stated he felt that this was something staff would work out. Glick stated if passed,
the Commission would be asking staff to bring back information to the Commission.
Christian stated he felt the Commission would continue to develop this idea adding he
assumed they would all be involved in it.
Mahurin stated she felt that they needed a point with and that was something that staff
should develop with their expertise. Mahurin added they then would have the option to
mold, change, etc. Christian stated he felt that they should decide where to put them.

Glick asked La Shot, based on the Commission discussion, to bring something back to the
Commission.
c. Proposed Amendments to KPB Chapter 5.14 and Chapter 21.18—Discussion
Glick asked Bryson to speak to the amendments. Bryson noted the borough staff has
proposed modifications to these two laws. Bryson stated they are basically addressing
definitions, applicability under certain circumstances for the type of facilities that they deem
appropriate for the habitat along the river. Bryson noted the other item is definitions for tax
Planning & Zoning Commission Page 8
Minutes February 26, 1997
credit aspects of habitat protection along the river. Bryson noted that La Shot is on a
committee that works with this. La Shot stated he is on the River Board and noted this is a
housekeeping ordinance to take care of the loose ends since adoption. La Shot no d they
aye fairly new ordinances. La Shot noted a couple items are good for the city, one i a
definition of where the mouth of the river begins. Bryson stated typical would bet fish
cleaning stand which by itself is deemed by most people to be innocuous. Bryson s ated
presumably someone who has proposed to put up sides around this facility and F L 3 roof
on it, they want to clarify what can and cannot be done for certain type facilities. son
stated they want to come up with boardwalks that assist in vegetation regrowth rat ler than
inhibit growth.
Glick asked if the borough wanted the commission to vote and accept or just to pe 6,se the
document. Bryson stated the borough's intent was to give the city time to revie
comment. Bryson stated if in concurrence, a letter would be graciously accepte lick
asked if they would act on it next on March 10'. Bryson stated the planning co i sion
would act on it at that meeting.
GOECKE MOVED TO WRITE A LETTER OF APPROVAL, NOTING THERE
BE ANOTHER MEETING TO LOOK FURTHER INTO THIS ITEM. MOTION
BY CHRISTIAN.
Glick noted that reading through it there are several areas but only a couple items that had
changes and those appeared to be for the better.
Christian stated he noted that there is a segment wherein the city planning and zgning that
can approve conditional uses in the city's borders adding the Commission will need to
understand the intent of this. Glick noted the city would have to adopt the standards before
that.
Mahurin stated she agrees adding she felt for some time the City of Kenai had been remiss
in protecting the river. Mahurin stated she feels they need to take a proactive stance in
protecting the river adding her support.

Page 9
February 26, 1997
Glick stated he hoped everyone had read the packet material. Glick stated the definition of
cabin would stop the problem they had last year with three buildings on one lot. Werner-
Quade asked Glick to clarify his statement. Glick stated on James Street wherein he was
going to rent them by the day or week instead the month. Werner-Quade stated she had!
been told that there would be a roof to connect the buildings. Werner-Quade noted this had
.been at a P&Z meeting by Councilman Smalley. Werner-Quade asked about status.
Smaliey stated he was unaware of the status.
Kebschull explained the plat had been redone and there still was not enough space for four
cabins. Kebschull stated he has been issued a temporary occupancy permit for three of the
buildings. Kebschull noted the fourth building was being used for storage. Kebschull
added he has been given 120 days to come into compliance or the temporary occupancy
permits will be revoked. Kebschull noted the letter was mailed on Monday.
Werner-Quade asked what he had on the property. Kebschull stated he has three rental
buildings. La Shot noted they are three principle dwellings. Werner-Quade stated that
according to the UBC they are too small to be dwellings. La Shot stated a habitable
dwelling had to be 120 square feet. Werner-Quade stated the dimensions were 14 X 16,
taking the interior figure it is 196. Discussion about whether you would measure the interior
or exterior of dwelling. Glick noted the use was different than the original proposal which
was to rent by the night or week. Werner-Quade stated originally it was as a four plex.
Glick stated if he rents on a monthly basis that changes the definition. Werner-Quade
responded that it is not an allowable use without a conditional use permit. Werner-Quade
stated she was just wondering because the last she had heard there was going to be a roof
to connect them adding she will continue to follow this case.
Werner-Quade stated she agrees with number one except the definition for cabin rentals as
presented.
Goecke asked if they had eliminated a lot line on James Street. La Shot stated that was
how they ended up with enough square feet to get the area for three principle dwellings.
Glick clarified he has single family dwellings, three of them, that are rented by the month.
Werner-Quade clarified if they were single family dwellings and not cabins. La Shot stated
they are principle structures rented by the month. Werner-Quade asked if they were called
cabins if they would require a CUP? Glick stated that was because they would be rented
for less than a month.
Werner-Quade stated she agrees with item 2 and that they should redetermine which zones
would require CUP's for cabin rentals.
Christian asked if they are going to take each item as individual motions or all five under
one motion. Glick stated if everyone agreed with all five that would be okay; however, if
there are some they disagree, perhaps they should do them one at a time.

GLICK YES
PASSED UNANIMOUS.
Goecke questioned information from Mr. Springer. Goecke stated he felt they should put
some credence to what Springer is saying and in so doing number five could be eliminated.
Goecke noted that reading Mr. Springer's letter brings to attention to some items in the
attorney's letter that could create havoc. Goecke added that since Springer has to enforce
this kind of thing, it looks like the city will have to hire someone to enforce this kind of stuff.
Goecke commented he is not sure that is what the Commission wants. Goecke drew
attention to the last paragraph in Mr. Springer's memo adding he felt the Commission
needed to look carefully at it before they accept the information from the attorney.
Mahurin stated she agrees that they not put anything about guest house which could cause
problems. Mahurin stated she is comfortable with Mr. Graves' recommendations through
number three. Mahurin stated she agrees that Mr. Springer's points on guest house are
very important to consider.
Glick drew attention to item 2.
GOECKE MOVED TO ACCEPT ITEM 2 ASKING IF THE COMMISSION WANTS TO
DETERMINE WHICH ZONES SHOULD BE INVOLVED.
Discussion on the Land Use Table and the fact that blanks mean you can apply for CUP.
Commission agreement that they need clarification on what the blanks in the table mean.
Bryson stated he was rudely awakened when the former chairman told him the current
interpretation and assumed it was from a council perspective. Smalley noted there are
many, many court cases that Mr. Graves could reference which state if it is not spoken to it
is okay. Christian stated that if when discussing the prime zone, they wanted to put a code
"N" and fill in all the blanks with N's meaning not permitted. Christian stated then if they
received a complaint, they could consider it.
Clarification of motion on floor. Kebschull noted there was never a second. Goecke
withdrew motion.

Minutes February 26, 1997
CHRISTIAN MOVED THAT THE COMMISSION CREATE A NOTATION UNDER THE KEY
FOR THE LAND USE TABLE, N FOR NOT PERMITTED AND THAT THEY PUT THIS N
IN ALL BLANKS ON THE LAND US!: TABLE. MAHURIN SECONDED THE MOTION.
Bryson stated this is a very broad subject and the sort of thing they should deal with in a
work session. Bryson nosed there are a tremendous amount of areas that should be
considered for CUPs and others that should not be. Bryson stated he felt they should look
at them individually.
Goecke stated he agrees with Bryson.
Bryson stated the other aspect is that this would be interpreted as a major rezoning
because it is so wide reaching. Bryson stated this is something that should be broadly
opened to the public for comment.
Christian asked if it would be appropriate to eliminate the second half of the motion about
filling in all of the blanks but to have the "N" notation to use in the future.
Mahurin noted her confusion adding that when she came on the Commission it was
interpreted as being not permitted. Mahurin stated that if they have been operating for all
these years that a blank means that it is not possible, that adding the N would not be a
rezoning but a clarification of what they have been doing all along.
Glick stated he would tend to agree with Mahurin but added he doesn't know how it would
be interpreted legally.
CHRISTIAN AMENDED PORTION OF MOTION THAT ELIMATES ADDING THE N TO
ALL BLANKS UNTIL FURTHER DISCUSSION BUT TO STILL CREATE THE N
NOTATION SO THAT INDIVIDUAL ITEMS CAN BE ADDRESSED IN THE FUTURE.
Mahurin stated that in her experience with the law, past practice is something that weighs
heavily. Mahurin stated that if this has been the past practice of how the board has
operated, perhaps they need a legal opinion. Mahurin added that perhaps they should
table it to the next meeting until they have a legal opinion.
Smalley stated it has been dealt with that if it is blank, an individual then applies for CUP
and it is generally approved. Smalley stated that Bryson's suggestion for a work session
and having La Shot and the city attorney present would be beneficial. Smalley added that
Christian's suggestion to create the N category is something for the Commission to look at.
Mahurin asked why there are C's on the table if everything is open to a conditional use
permit. Mahurin reiterated she would like the current interpretation clarified before doing
anything else.

Glick noted the motion had passed so they would wait for the opinion and then decide if
they should have a work session or where to continue from here.
Goecke stated looking in the Land Use Table and gong back a few years, the city built a fire
training center on property in the IL zone. Goecke noted there is no place that permits this
use adding all the squares are blank. Goecke noted they had given permission for that
adding this has been a flip-flop thing with interpretation of the table.
Glick asked if the Commission wanted to go onto Item 3.

Smalley noted there is a copy of agenda in the packet. Smalley noted he was out of town
when this meeting was held. Smalley stated there were ordinances that were introduced,
Item H3 was setting up revenue appropriations for the AARF project. Smalley noted this
has about a $10.7 million price tag. HS stated $8.9 would cane from the federal
guvarnment and only about $1.8 would come from; airport revenues. Smalley noted J.:s is
one of the few projects that the city can use airport funds for. Smalley noted he has copy of
the packet if anyone would like to see it.
Mahurin asked if there is a public hearing scheduled on a two tier salary proposal for city
employees. Smalley stated he didn't know but that it had been brought up at a work
session with the mayor. Smalley stated it will probably be discussed at budget time.
Glick asked about them tabling the award of the contract to Mapco. La Shot stated the
major concern is the inconvenience and safety problem by large equipment and fire trucks
fueling there. Glick commented that the public doesn't have any problem nor the fuel trucks
who deliver fuel at Mapco. Christian asked the city's intention. La Shot stated the city
manager asked to table it to reconsider the matter. La Shot stated the city manager may at
the next council meeting make a suggestion to retain the present fueling facility for diesel
and go to Mapco for the gas. La Shot stated that with the larger equipment there is some
concern if they can be fueled safely during summer busy times.
b. Borough Planning
Bryson noted packet information is in the packet. Bryson drew attention to the agenda.
The items in A, B, and C were approved as part of the consent agenda, with exception of
Item 5A2 which has to do with timber harvest. Item E, Ordinance 97-04, adding a new
classification for borough owned lands to recognize historical sites was postponed due to
written requests addressing concerns. Item F3, an ordinance to create a trails commission,
was recommended for approval with the planning commission brought into the bureaucratic
loop. Ordinance 97-15 would allow neighboring property owners and others with prior
interest to purchase borough lands by matching the highest bid. Bryson noted there was a
significant amount of concern and this was postponed. Bryson stated the concern was that
it was undercutting the bidding process. Under special considerations H-1, was denied.
Item 2 was approved. Item 2-13 was pulled from the agenda. Under the coastal
management program considerations, Item 1-6, was approved. Item L-1 was postponed.
The Planning Directors considerations, concerning prior use considers on borrow sites,
were approved. Under director's comments, Item N-1, the Planning Director reported that a
person who owns a number of lots in a subdivision had taken issue with the Planning
Commission's recommendation to grant a vacation of a portion of an easement. Bryson
noted it was a well in a portion of an easement. The commission vacated an area of a 2
foot radius around the well and other owners objected. Bryson stated it looked like it will
result in a court case based on the ten page brief they were given from an attorney.

GENERAL DISCUSSION:
Kebschull asked the Board if after she prepared the text from tonight's meeting if
board members could be assigned to proof the final text. Kebschull advised this
could be a last check before the information is submitted to OHA. Kebschull noted
Townsite Historic District Board Page 5
Minutes February 24, 1997
that the text must be sent to Anchorage by the end of the week. Gray and Godek
agreed to perform the final check.
Kebschull brought the group up-to-date on the Shk'ituk't Village sign quote and the
spreadsheet information that was provided in the packet. Kebschull explained that
she had contacted the Kenai National Moose Range and had received information
on ^they sign companies they had used in the past for fiberglass signage. Kebschtll
noted that the individual she spoke with thought the two quotes the Board had
received were very reasonable based on past signs they had purchased. Kebschull
reported that she had contacted several other companies most of whom do not
construct fiberglass signs. Two companies that she did talk to noted that they bid
the signs but the signs are actually constructed by Pannier Graphics who developed
the fiberglass sign process. Kebschull stated that for example the one company
quoted $3,000 per panel for a 34" X 96" panel which would be $9,000 in
comparison to the two quotes they had received that were about one-third that
amount. Kebschull offered her opinion that the Board may want to wait until next
month to make a final decision noting that at one time they had talked about
possibly reducing the panel size. Kebschull added that they will not be receiving
additional quotes but if they decide to make the sign smaller that would affect the
price. As for a recommendation for the quote, Kebschull noted they may want to
consider Pannier since it appears they are the leader in this type of sign
construction. Kebschull added that Kluge could probably make a recommendation
for this noting he had used the company in the past.
Kluge suggested that the Board attempt to get extra copies of the artwork when
they have the signs made. This would be less expensive than to do so in the
future. Kebschull noted that the Pannier quote did not include extra copies but she
could contact them and get prices for additional copies before next month's
meeting. In addition, Kebschull stated she could contact Bunny Swan and ask
about possibly reducing the size of the panels and how that would affect the
artwork. Godek offered to contact Swan before next month's meeting.
It was agreed to postpone a decision on the Shk'ituk't sign until next month's
meeting.
HUHNDORF MOVED TO RECONVENE. GODEK SECONDED THE MOTION.

Minutes February 24, 1997
Gray asked for discussion on the motion. Huhndorf noted he would like to see
more information Fort Kenay but noted given the vagueness of information they had
access to, he would agree with the information provided. Gray noted they would
need to clarify the information on the location of t.ie original Fort Kenay.
UNANIMOUS.
• Shk'ituk't Village sign quote:;
Gray asked for wishes of commission.
Huhndorf stated he would like to wait until the next meeting. Kebschull agreed to
check the price for additional panels. Godek will contact Bunny Swan about
reducing the sign size.
• Rotary Club
Kluge noted he had attempted to get someone to perform the router work for them
and the individual he contacted could not do the large scale the signs require.
Kluge stated he feels Rotary will be ready to roll as soon as the Board receives the
blessings from OHA. Gray stated she felt the Board should contact the Clarion to
take pictures of Rotary constructing the signs.
Kebschull asked if anyone had checked into obtaining the City of Kenai emblems.
Kebschull noted if they aren't able to obtain them that they may need to go back to
OHA and have them removed from the designs.
Huhndorf asked if there was any chance of putting tribal seals put on houses of
some of the people who would like to identify with the tribe? Huhndorf noted this
was strictly his idea adding if there was a tribal affiliation, they could have the
seals. Kluge commented he felt that as long as they could get the seals to them in
a timely manner and stick to a consistent size. Kebschull stated she needed to
clarify if Huhndorf was talking about putting the seals on the signs or the houses?
Huhndorf stated on the signs. Kebschull noted that if they change the design, they
will have to go back to OHA for approval adding she didn't think they should
redesign the signs. Kebschull noted that once the grant is complete that they may
have the option to add to the signs.
8. REPORTS:
Gray reported to the Board the some additional money had been awarded to the
city on the survey grant, adding it was to Kebschull's credit, for submitting all the
Townsite Historic District Board Page 7
Minutes February 24, 1997
necessary reports in on time. Gray stated the state reimbursed the city an
additional amount of money because of the completeness of the survey
information. Gray commented that she wondered if they needed to order some
extra signs if they could ask council tr, use some of that money to order the signs.
Kebschull advised the Board that the reimbursement amounted to approximately
$1,700. This additional reimbursement was awarded the city because some
recipients did not complete- their grants so they looked at the grants that were
completed in a timely manner and following the grant requirements. Based on this,
Kenai was offered the additional reimbursement. Kebschull advised this was
accomplished just by agreeing to accept the funds and they sent a revised scope to
the city to sign.
KLUGE MOVED TO DRAFT A LETTER TO COUNCIL INFORMING THEM OF THE
ADDITIONAL FUNDS AND ASK THAT THE MONEYS BE EARMARKED FOR BOARD
USE IN THESE PROJECTS.
MOTION DIED FOR LACK OF SECOND.
Gray suggested writing a letter to Council complementing Kebschull's efforts and
making a note that these moneys were received.
Kebschull explained to the Board that the money is not extra money but instead is
reimbursing the city for moneys already spent. Kebschull added that if they chose
to write a letter, not necessarily for her benefit, but to bring it to the Council's
attention that they had received the additional funds this may be helpful for further
funding requests. Kluge stated he felt they should ask that those funds be
earmarked for their work. Kluge stated the city had budgeted the money and it
should be available. Kebschull explained that the money was already spent and
that it was last year's budget. In addition, she explained how grants are funded by
council and that they are not necessarily budgeted items.

Smalley, Duane Bannock & John Williams (also board members).

Pam Peterson spoke so highly of the project to all she encountered in Kenai,
Soldotna and Seward. Pam said she uses our feasibility work as an example
to other locations interested in building a Challenger Center. At the board
meeting next month we will discuss issues related to changes from our original
plan about the "smart classroom" and size of the capital campaign. Decisions
on interim management of the project are also slated. Please plan to attend on
Tuesday, March 11 @ 4 pm.

Railroad.
MOTION:
Councilwoman Swarner MOVED for approval of Resolution No. 97-7
and Councilman Moore SECONDED the motion.
Vice Mayor Measles introduced Governor Sheffield and welcomed him
to the meeting.
Governor Sheffield gave a brief summary of the history of the
Alaska Railroad, stating it was built in 1923 and the State
bought it in 1984 and assumed operation in 1985. The purchase
agreement included paying $34 million for the track, rolling
stock and 38,000 acres of land. Since then, the Railroad has
neither requested nor received any additional state money outside
of the 1984 agreement.
Sheffield added, the Railroad, in 12 years of state ownership,
earned a profit nine times; is self-sustaining; is accountable to
the public through the Legislature/Governor; and, is run by
railroad managers. Their employees are not state employees, do
not receive state benefits, or are a part of the state retirement
system.
Sheffield explained the Legislature was now wanting to give away
half of the Railroad's .land which would cripple their operation,
their ability to fund their own capital projects, and lose the
flexibility to meet their customer's changing needs. Sheffield
requested council's support.
Councilman Bannock noted it appeared there were two matters:
One, the State was taking a more active interest in the Railroad;
and, two selling it and privatizing the operation. Sheffield
responded, it was the Legislature's intent to prepare the
Railroad for privatization by undermining its financial stability
and forcing the Railroad to request funds from the Legislature.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
FEBRUARY 19, 1997

He added, there would be concern that by privatizing the
Railroad, problems with the Federal government would arise
because the deep -water ports may no longer be served.
VOTE:
There were no objections. 80 ORDERED.
Measles requested a copy of the resolution be forwarded to the
members of the State Legislature and Railroad.

MOTION:
Councilwoman Swarner MOVED for approval of Resolution No. 97-9
and Councilman Moore SECONDED the motion.
There were no public or council comments. City Manager Ross
requested council to table action on the resolution as there were
serious concerns about ingress and egress to the station for
large pieces of equipment. He added, he wanted to have
discussions with Mapco personnel prior to action and to compile
possible alternatives for council consideration.

H-6. Discussion - Confession of Judgment/Katmai Motel,
Restaurant & Lounge.
Attorney Graves explained Mr. Singree had requested to enter into
a Confession of Judgment similar to one approved by council last
year.
Swarner asked what was owed in last year. Singree answered
approximately $4,000, close to the same amount the new judgment
would be for.
Bookey stated he agreed to the judgment last year however, he
didn't believe it was the place of the council to be in a lending
business. He stated he would not support a similar request next
year if it comes before them.
Singree explained the term of payment in the last judgment was a
six-month progressive pro -rated plan. As he paid the city the
current payment, he also made a back payment. He added, he would
like the payment plan the same this year, prorated if possible,
but if it was necessary to start in April with full payment in
arrears and a current payment, he believed they would be solvent
and able to do a double payment. He added, it was necessary for
him to have the liquor license to be operational. The last
judgment was based on a six-month program and they had
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
FEBRUARY 19, 1997
PAGE 10
paid it by the end of the summer. Graves added, they made
progressive payments the last time, as it was easier to pay it
off in the summer.
MOTION:
Councilman Bannock MOVED to approve the request for Confession of
Judgment and with it, the protest against the liquor license be
withdrawn subject to Singree entering into the judgment.
Councilman Bookey SECONDED the motion.
Councilman Moore requested Mr. Singree be invited to the economic
assembly in April.
VOTE:
There were no objections. SO ORDERED.
H-7. Discussion - Sublease/Lot 3, Block 1, GAA, from James
A. Munson to Public Radio Station KBBI/KDLL.
Graves reported the sublease from Munson to the Public Radio
Station was subject to approval by FAA. Mr. Munson was offering
the space free of charge to the radio station. Administrative
Assistant Howard had contacted the FAA but had not yet received a
response. Swarner questioned whether the radio station would be
considered airport related. Graves stated he didn't know if it
could be said it was airport related.
Airport Manager Ernst reported he had a conversation with Patty
Sullivan of the FAA and she had some reservations about the
request. He mentioned to her that FAA had allowed temporary use
of facilities up to five years in the past. She was not aware of
that. She would be checking that and if the radio frequency
would be a problem for the airport.
Swarner asked if this would be a long-term lease. Dave Hammock
from KDLL answered Munson had offered the use of the building.
They would be doing a modest amount of leasehold modifications.
They don't believe it would be a long-term home base for the
station. Hammock added, he had also talked with Sullivan. Their
transmitter would allow a studio link and would require FAA
approval. HEA has offered a free telephone poll to put their
antenna on to carry the radio link. The lease would allow both
Munson and KDLL to give a notice without cause if there is a
higher demand for the building.

MOTION:
Councilman Bannock MOVED to approve the sublease of Lot 3, Block
1, GAA from James A. Munson to Public Radio Station KBBI/KDLL
pending FAA approval. Councilman Bookey SECONDED the motion.
Councilwoman Swarner requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. There were no
objections. SO ORDERED.
H-8. Discussion - ADEC Low Interest Loans (Drinking Water
and Alaska Clean Water Funds).
City Manager Ross noted the loans were brought to his attention
by Public Works Director Kornelis. If the City applies for the
loans, it would not obligate the council but to enter into the
loan, would require a vote of the people. Through applying for
the loans, the city might acquire ADEC funding points. Council
could later decide whether to go to a vote. Ross advised, the
due date for the loans was February 28.
Kornelis added, the projects to be listed for the loans would be
identical to those applied for for ADEC funds. The city could
request 100% or 50% matches. Loan interest rates were now at
4.1% and have been as low as 3.74%. The interest rate would be
fixed at the time the loan is approved. He added, the city had
never received a loan like this before. He advised, the Drinking
Water Fund loan was brand new. Also these are federal loans
administered by ADEC.
Vice Mayor Measles asked if the match would come out of what
would be the grant funds. Kornelis answered, it was his
understanding the loan funds would be matched by the Governor and
Legislature and separate from the ADEC regular funding.
Moore asked if applying for the loans would hurt the city's
chance to receive grant funds. Kornelis stated, through his
discussions with DEC, he didn't think so. Also, the letter
stated the city would not incur any obligation by responding.
Bookey stated he thought the city should apply and then leave it
to administration as to whether to follow through in the future.
Measles asked if council wanted to direct administration to go
ahead with the application at 100%? Council concurred.

their functions to local governments. The second letter
discussed the proposed taxation on tourism.
I-2. City Manager
a. Kenai Visitors & Cultural Center - Ross reported he had
received a letter from the KVCC requesting to meet with council
about budget matters. Ross stated he would advise them of the
budget date at which the KVCC budget would be discussed.
b. Peninsula Coalition Meeting - Ross reported he attended
the Coalition meeting held today, along with Finance Director
Semmens. Of several issues discussed, he was very concerned with
the proposed property tax revisions. The matter would be before
the Assembly in the near future. They are hoping to pass the
ordinance by April 1 in order to meet the deadline for vehicle
taxation through DMV. There were eight different scenarios
presented at the meeting. Ross added, the scenarios all designed
a way to redistribute tax load on motor vehicles from addressing
inequities they see in commercial boats and airplanes.

C. Sales Tau Cap - Ross reported he would include for
discussion on the next council agenda the Borough's ordinance
(which has been introduced) to change the sales tax cap from $500
to $1,000. Both the Assembly's ordinance and a proposed
resolution for conncil's consideration would be included in the
March 5 packet.
Councilman Bannock stated he spoke with an Assemblymember in
regard to the proposed personal property tax revisions. Bannock
stated, it was his opinion there were two separate issues:
automobile registration tax and the personal property tax on
boats and airplanes. He added, he believed the Borough was dead
wrong and it was nothing more than a cost shifting from one group
of a few to another group of many. Ross agreed and added, he
thought everyone was acknowledging that and in attempting to
address what they saw as inequities (pleasure items), it was
expanded and now the burden was being shifted onto the automobile
owner.
Ross added, the plans that had been presented to them, he did not
believe could be put into a final draft for the time frame in
which they want to do it. Additionally, the whole property tax
issue is at the State Supreme Court for a decision and he felt
the Borough was very premature in changing the personal property
tax ordinance until the decision is made by the court.
Ross reported the next Coalition meeting would be held on March
19.

Ernst reported he had received a call from FAA regarding the
taxiway extension. They had estimated the 1997 allocation of
funds at $500,000. The entitlements came to $714,000 and FAA
wanted to change the application to that amount because of th@
ticket tax delays for discretionary money. Ernst added, any
discretionary fund projects could also be delayed. They had
estimated $377,000 for discretionary funds. They feel it will be
a doable project. Ernst reported he told FAA to go ahead with
the change as the entitlement funds were not earmarked for any
other use.
Councilman Moore asked what the status was on the $3.00 landing
tax in Anchorage. Ernst answered, he had not heard anything new,

the Community Health Center (information included in the packet).
Moore - Referred to the letter from Fish & Game which was
included as Information No. 2. Kornelis stated it looked like
there wouldn't be any change for now. He added, the city sent
letters to the property owners, but received no responses. Moore
suggested, for lack of any response from private property owners,
they should consider it a go ahead. Ross stated, once the grant
was closed the situation could be revisited. Kornelis noted, the
grant had to be closed in May, however, he believed it would be
completed in March.
Bannock - Referred to paragraph 3 of the Fish & Game letter
wherein the writer, Kuwada, stated he had visited the area and
saw only two vehicles using the turnaround. Kuwada also stated,
he believed the design (of the turnaround) did accommodate small

justified. Bannock suggested a response be written to Kuwada

Re Kenai City Council Members, February 21. 1997
The enclosed map shows my building encroachment and a possible solution.
After being discused with Robert C. Springer, the building inspector for Kenai, it was determined
that this will meet the fire coders.
The land swap which I propose is an equal square footage swap of property.
I have been advised by Jim Lawyer at the Borough, that the river front property is worth from 2
to 3 times as much as road front property, but I feel an equal square footage swap should satisfy all
concerns with park property deed restrictions.
Sincerely,

MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor John Williams and Kenai City Council Members
From;C:a Cary R. Graves, City Attorney
cc: Richard A. Ross, City Manager
Date: February 28., 1997
RE: Proposed Land Swap with Chris Garcia
On February 21, 1997 Mr. Garcia submitted a proposal to resolve his garage's
encroachment on Cunningham Park. As you know, one of the outstanding issues in
this matter has been the restriction of our deed that the property be used as a park. A
copy of the deed is attached to this memorandum. The deed states in part, "... a
reversion to Martha Cunningham or her heirs in the event the property is no longer
used as a park."
In legal terms, a deed with an express reversionary clause creates a fee simple subject to
a condition subsequent. Seltenrich v. Town of Fairbanks, 100 F. Supp. 296, 298-300 P.
Alaska 4`h Dist. Fairbanks, 1951); The Law of Property 12.7 (Cunningham, et al. West
Publ. 1984). In lay terms, a "fee simple subsequent to a condition subsequent" means
that if the donee (the City) stops using the property for a park the donor (Martha
Cunningham) or her heirs get the property back.
Where the reversionary language is not clear, the courts will construe the clause to be a
covenant rather than a condition subsequent. For our purposes, the importance of the
distinction between the two is that violation of a covenant would not risk forfeiture of
the property, whereas violation of a condition subsequent can create a forfeiture.
Seltenrich at 299-300. In my opinion, the language is sufficiently clear that the courts
would hold the language in the Cunningham deed to a condition subsequent rather
than a covenant.
Another issue is whether conveyance of part of the property for non -park use would
trigger forfeiture of the property. In City of Dallas v. Etheridge, 253 SW2d 640 (Tex
1952), the City of Dallas used a portion of a similarly dedicated park for a non -park -
related public road. The deed in question also had an express reversionary clause. The
Texas Supreme Court held that the non -park -related use by the City violated the
dedication and held the Cit:y's right to the park land was forfeited.
Memo to: City Council Members
February 28,1997
Page 2 of 2
More recently, courts have been reluctant to order forfeiture of property, especially
wneii the overall purpose of the donation is being substantially carried out. Johnson v.
City of fiackensack, 200 N. J. Super 185, 491 A.2d 14 (App Div 1985) (Minor deviation
from dedicated use will not cause forfeiture). Kinney v. State, 283 Kan 325, 710 P.2d
1290 (1985) (Deed requires only good faith effort to maintain property for dedicated
use).
What distinguishes the current proposal from the Johnson and Kinney cases cited above
is that the current proposal calls for the City to convey a portion of the dedicated
property in the form of a land swap. In Johnson and Kinney the government simply
didn't use all the property for the dedicated purpose. Conveying a portion of the
property increases the chances that a court would order forfeiture.
The Alaska Supreme Court has not ruled in a similar case so it is difficult to predict
with certainty what its ruling would be. In my opinion, the court would hold the
proposed conveyance does violate the deed restriction. What is less clear is the remedy
the court would enforce. While I cannot state with certainty that a forfeiture would
result if the trade is approved, forfeiture is a distinct possibility as shown by the
Etheridge case cited previously.
On January 6, 1997 I sent a letter to Mr. Garcia's attorney Goe Kashi) stating my
concerns and inviting him to submit any authority or case law which would alleviate
the problems I saw. He has not responded to my letter as of the date of this
memorandum.
In summary, it is my opinion that:
1. The language in the Cunningham deed is clear;
2. Conveyance of part of the property by virtue of the proposed trade would
violate the terms of the deed; and
3. The proposed land trade, if approved, puts the City at risk of forfeiting the
property at Cunningham Park.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss this, feel free to call or stop by City
Hall.

RE: LETTER TO KENAI CITY COUNCIL FROM CHRIS GARCIA
I reviewed the above -mentioned letter and drawing. The setbacks shown on the
proposed plan will meet building and fire code requirements. However, they will not
meet planning and zoning requirements for setbacks in RR zoning. The minimum
setback would be 15 feet.

opportunities for our industry, and exploring ways to strengthen our trade ties. I
hope you can accompany me to offer your expertise during trade talks and various
presentations.

Development are working closely with my office now on scheduling meetings and
appointments. Please contact Becky Beck in Commerce's Division of Trade and

Mayor John J. Williams
& Kenai City Council members
210 Fidalgo Street, Suite 200
Kenai, AK 99611
Dear Mayor Williams & Council members:
Thank you for an invitation to discuss development of a community forum or
symposia for the City of Kenai this spring. Following brief talks with Mayor Williams,
City Manager Ross & City Councilman Bookey, I am confident that the facilitation skills
my associate, Colleen Ward and I possess, will serve you well. We understand the forum
is to create an informed community dialogue about the present and anticipated future of
Kenai's economy focused particularly on concerns about a lagging retail sector.
Colleen Ward, owner of XCEI , is highly skilled in facilitation of group
discussions and processes. She works across Alaska training in team building,
collaborative planning and organizational development. Her human resource background
in business, education and government compliment the community and economic
development credentials exhibited by K. Scott and Associates.
As for K. Scott & Associates, we have enjoyed a productive and mutually
beneficial working relationship through the development of the Challenger Project and the
status report for the Kenai Public Health Center. Both projects required solid research and
fact fording skills coupled with a comprehensive knowledge of the City of Kenai and
residents. Colleen and Kathleen both live within the city limits of Kenai, and combined,
provide an even broader and deeper knowledge of the local area
Before engaging in discussions about the scope of work and costs, it is essential
that we become very clear about the council's needs and expectation for the outcome of
this meeting. A high profile forum could provide an opportunity to understand perceptions
about commerce, trade and industry. It can also be designed to launch an assessment and
development effort resulting in a strategic plan for the community.
The approach for designing the content and structure of the forum differs dependent
on its purpose and the anticipated outcomes. Once the city council has an opportunity to
more thoroughly discuss and agree on the desired outcomes we can provide a more specific
response. Colleen and I will be available at the council meeting to discuss and explore
options. Again, thank you for considering our services. Our enclosed resumes further
demonstrate the skills, experience and abilities we bring to facilitation of your proposed
process.
Sincerely,
Kathleen F. Scott

PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR REPORT
Mission Street Project. DOT is still reviewing the plans for
this project. It looks like the first of April for the public hearing.
DUNES PROJECT The boardwalks off the beach road and
the stairs at the end of N. Forest Drive and have been installed. The
contractor still needs to install the signs for this project. Enlarging the
parking lot at the bottom of S. Spruce Street is not part of this project.
We have received the Corps permit to enlarge this parking but we do
not have a source of funding. The present parking lot is way to small
for what is needed during the dip net season.
WASTE WATER TREATMENT PLANT DISINFECTION
PROJECT The city crew has completed the installation of the
equipment and materials. This project is now complete.

A bum steer by the EPA
early in the project didn't help
either. costing the company
$20 million and years of ad-
ditional work.
The company had
suggested building a pipeline
to carry mine tailings to a
deep underwater cisposal
site. The original dea for
underwater tailings cisposal
came from early discussions
between EPA. local officials
and the company at the
outset of the project's
permitting process. That
option was seen as a solution
to potential dust and water
quality issues and was
considered the least costly
and most environmentally-
sensibie option for tailings
cisposai. Thecompanv hired
by experts to design an
improved plan that would
provide added safeguards
and become an intezral part
of the mine design.
Five years later. EPA
said it would not consider
the option because its regu-
lations did not allow for un-
derwater disposal. The fed-
eral agency then directed
Echo Bay to look at onshore
tailings disposal. But after
several more years and an
additional S20 million to com-
plete a new plan.:he EPA

ate by Senator Ted Stevens.
"We have developed
less than one -tenth of one
percent of our wetlands in
Alaska." Stevens said. "The
national wetlands policy un-
dertheClean WaterActdoes
not worK in Alaska — it was
designea for the Lower 48
where 53 percent of the wet-
lands nave been developed.'
According to the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service.
there were 170.2 million
acres of wetlands in Alaska
in the 1780s and there are
still 170 million acres in
Alaska today. In contrast.
only 104 million acres re-
main of the 221 million acres
of wetlands in the Lower 48.
The bill would prevent
Alaskans from havina to ob-
tain v✓eTIancs fill permits un-
der Section 404 of the Clean
Water ,act to continue exist-
ing activities related to airport
safety. !ogging. mining, ice
pads. roads and snow re-
moval. The bill would require
Alaskans who must apply for
wetlands fill permits to mini-
mize adverse impacts, but
eliminatethe existing reauire-
ments to mitigate unavoid-
able impacts or prove no
alternative sites are available.
Stevens' bill would re-
quire the Corps of Engineers
to come up with a new, cus-
tomized permitting process for
lands conveyed to the State
under the Statehood Act and
to Alaska Native corporaucrs

Wetlands permit
to get stricter
Ina move that will significantly t=ten wEi.,lds regulations.
the U.S. Army Corps cf Engineers :riil begin to phase out a
permitting procedure for small tracts of a nd over the next two years.
Under process known as Nationwide Permit 26 (NWP 26),
developers can fill wetlands from one to ten acres without dainine
individual permit approval from federal officials. but as of January
1997, the Corps will begin to lower that threshold to between one-
third of an acre and three acres. In about 18 to 24 months. the
Corps will eliminate the provision altogether.
Wetlands regulation reform advocates fear its elimination
could have a devastating impact on builders and small landown-
ers. Republicans in Congress claim the current permitting system
already nfringes on property rights and inhibits development.
The National Wildlife Federation :s challenging NWP 26 and
NWP 29, which allows landowners ana homeowners surroundea
by wetlands to make imorovements -o property of one acre or
less. Environmentalists nave long ccposed the use of these
permits and applauded 'he decision to curtail their use. Environ-
mental c-oups. however. oppose a ^.vo-year phase out oerioc
and are suing the agency over the proaosed timeline.
Reform advocates may seek legislative action to block the
Corpscease out of NWP 26, pointing out that such action will
dramatically increase regulatory burcens on small landowners.
"Potentially thousands of individual permit applications wil
have to be filed by homeowners, business, and communities,
requiring scarce time and money.- said Rhod Shaw of the
National Wetlands Coalition. "In addc'on. even those applicants
that can use the transitory NWP 26 wu. face a heightened level of
scrutiny by the Corps :✓high will require on -site avoidance.
minimization and mitigation for impacts of less than one acre."
Shaw said the C;,ros proposa. _✓ phase out the term t
demons,ratestheinconsistencyand;: redictabilityofthefedera
wetlands program.
"The National We':ands Coaiit= believes the orcoosec
changes to the NWPs are yet another example of the constantly
shiftina nature of our feceral wetlancs ::oiicies and an illustrative
examc,e of the problem :nth the curve -it program.' Shaw added.
"This situation is neither an appropna;e approach to protect our
wetlancs. nor is it anyway to treat per- t applicants and commu-
nities rnat seeK consistency and clar;-; from the program.
On behalf of AlasKa communities. Native landowners ana
resource sectors. the AIaSKa Wetlands Coalition is monitoring the
complex and evolving regulatory issues and is continuing its
efforts -o bring understanding of A!aska's unique wetlands

Dear Mayor Williams:
" C� TY CLE,
RE: FY 98 STATE REVENUE SHARING - DATA ELEMENTS
The Municipal and Regional Assistance Division has received your municipality's FY 98 state
revenue sharing application. We have determined that the City of Kenai is eligible for funding.
Enclosed is a report showing the data elements which will be used to calculate your FY 98
payment. Please note that the Locally Generated Revenue element may change after our review
of your municipality's audit or certified financial statement.
Please carefully examine the accuracy of these data elements. You may appeal to the
Commissioner, in writing, any of these data elements, except for population and full and true
property value determinations. The deadline for appealing those data elements has passed (if
necessa y, we ill make corrections to borough service area populations or full and true
property values). An appeal must include supporting evidence and be postmarked within 30
days of receipt of this letter.
Your municipality's payment under the FY 98 State Revenue Sharing Program will be issued July
31, 1997, provided all program requirements have been met. If you have any questions, please
call Bill Rolfzen, Program Administrator, at 465-4733.
Sincerely,
I--,"V>74,
