John Sanders of Aries Consultants gave an update on the Airport Master Plan Update based on recommendations and comments from the September and October meetings. The plan recommends that 40 acres be acquired on the north end of the airport to tie in for future runway expansion. Also, two acres of the trailer park at the south end, which are within the avigational easement, should be acquired since it falls within the runway protection zone. In terms of Runway 1-19 they recommended that the south end of the runway be relocated 200 feet to the north against the runway safety area, clear of the cemetery to Airport Commission March 13, 1997 Page 1 the south. It also brings the runway protection zone north of the Spur Highway. This enlarges the current runway protection zone and protects for the capability of future instrument approaches. The north end of the runway wou d be moved 200' but also an extra 425' which makes 8,000' for the future. This is shorter than in the old plan. He recommended the float pond be extended 500' to the north and 500' to the south, and widened from 150' to 200' on the west side and a future taxi lane on the west side for the float planes to taxi independent of the water runway. He suggested that the existing grass stip be abandoned since it interferes with aircraft taxiing on Taxiways Alpha and Bravo. He recommended it be relocated to the north end of the airport. He suggested putting in a 2000 by 60 foot gravel strip on the north end to provide space for an access road and parking on the east side. He recommended that the capability for a parallel paved general aviation runway be dropped based on the forecast level of activity. The preference was for a parallel gravel strip. This allows for a parallel taxiway that would run the entire length of 1-19 600' from the center of the runway rather than 400' . He suggested the navigation aids and VASI's be relocated to the north end when the runways are extended. He felt the passenger terminal area was adequate. He proposed to widen the apron taxiway to allow for C- 130 criteria and widen the apron to the north to allow for aircraft parking along the east side. He proposed that the current cargo area could be developed for additional cargo lease lots. The control tower stays as it is and north of there could be the site of future city maintenance and crash fire rescue facility. He suggested widening future lease lots to the north and taxiways between. He suggested preserving space in the north for smaller executive hangers and possibly T-hangers. These would be close to the future gravel strip. He felt additional parking space was available across Willow Street and three acres at the south end near the present transient aircraft parking would cover future parking needs. He suggested space on the city's aircraft parking ramp for a future wash ramp. This would best tie in with the required utilities. He suggested improving the service road to the localizer and a future maintenance road on the north side. This would require the existing fencing be moved back to the property line. He stated these improvements would be spread out over a 20 year plan with each of the projects phased into five year phasing plans. Freddie Comperchio introduced the five year phasing plans. The first phase would be to acquire the 40 acres to the north and easements of the mobile home park. The next phase would be to extend parallel taxiway C and relocate the grass strip with an aircraft parking area on the side. The next thing is to remove the tree obstructions from the protection zones to the north and build a new access to the access with vehicle parking and a security gate. The next item that is already programmed for the Airport Commission March 13, 1997 Page 2 airport this year is to develop the Alaska Regional Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting Training Facility. Some miscellaneous items are to construct a snow removal equipment building in the area north of the air traffic control tower. Also to rem(ve the two city 12,000 gallon jet fuel tanks located on the apron south of the terminal building. She felt the city is going to have to take into consideration getting the tanks out and tested prior to December of 1998. She stated the EPA is possibly considering relaxing the rules on that depending on quality and testing. But as far as they know now that will not even be considered until sometime in June. She stated that there is a capital improvement item to acquire an additional piece of snow removal equipment and creation of a new sand stockpile at the time of construction. She stated that in phase I the total estimated cost of $12.7 million, with the city's share being $845,000, and FAA's share being close to $12 million. She stated these are preliminary numbers and they are still working on FAA and that they are working with the city to refine them. She stated FAA has already made a significant commitment somewhere between $9 and $10 million towards these projects. She stated that the first phase is significant. She reported that the airport entitlement funds that have been accumulating for the past couple of years will go towards the city's share for making up the local contribution. In summary of the Capital improvements, she stated that the phase II projects would include the extension of Taxiway C, widening of the aircraft parking apron, and additional automobile parking lot. The total estimated cost of phase II would be $6 million with $803,000 from the city. Taken over a four year period it comes out to $200,000 a year and if you use the state's contribution of 1/2 of that it comes out to about $100,000 a year to implement phase II. That also assumes that there will be around $1.3 million available from FAA. For phase III of the capital improvement program, the airfield shows widening of the water runway with some new additional parking strips at the south end. The extension of the main runway and the relocated threshold on the south end also add the entry/exit taxiways, provide new auto parking facilities and some new aircraft hangers. The total estimated cost of the third phase of the capital improvement project is about $11 million with $1.7 million being the city's share and FAA's being $9.6 million. This works out to approximately $1.4 million a year. Again that's $200-214.000 a year for the city and if the state continues to contribute half of that it works out to about $100-107,000 a year. But again that assumes that FAA will contribute $1.2 million a year. The total capital improvement costs come up to be around $30 million. This comes out to approximately $1.6 million a year, $187,000 a year for the city, again that assumes that the FAA will be able to come up with an estimated $1.5 million over the planning period. A lot of the numbers are preliminary and they are continuing to work with FAA on what is or is not going to be eligible. This will be refined prior to the draft being put in the master plan. They will be doing a financial plan after completing the Draft Master Plan and Airport Commission March 13, 1997 Page 3 will be included in the Draft Final Master Plan. The financial plan will include funding sources, including FAA. Mark Blanning was introduced to discuss the initial master plan. He explained reported on taxiway C extension, the gravel runway relocation and parking. He stated the taxiway C extension was moved to the south to eliminate about 10 acres of wetlands. The Corps is currently advertising for comments. Based on the comments they will determine whether a public hearing will be necessary. The existing sand pit has 40,000 yards of sand. Some can stay in place and the excess can be used for construction of the parking area and the access road. He felt they don't need the sand for the floatplane base extension. He proposed a new stockpile pit near the end of Willow Street to replace. He stated the city is discussing with FAA for utilizing this as part of the project. He stated the access road is now coming from the south near the end of Willow Street. This also moved it out of the wetlands area. The new designation would have the extension designated as Taxiway C. What is now the runway access would be designated as Taxiway D, and the end would be Taxiway E. The tie would be "L" allowing for a future taxiway at the end. There will be three access from the gravel runway to the gravel parking at both ends of Taxiway L. The gravel runway would have 4" of crushed rock surface and the parking area would be gravel. He stated that they are proposing two gates. One would be a standard bar gate that would preclude traffic into the apron area and the other would provide security between the public and the access road. They are unsure whether it will be an electric gate or a card gate. Commissioner Thibodeau asked how funding works on parking and general aviation projects. He felt the city paid a heavier burden. She responded that the FAA does not participate in projects that generate revenue. Commissioner Holloway felt that the runway exits should be alphabetically sequenced for clearer understanding to unfamiliar pilots. Sanders responded that this was their suggestion also, but the tower requested that taxiway C remain the same. Sanders reported that the initial improvements have been put together into a draft environmental assessment and is currently with the city. He stated that the future fire training environmental assessment has been completed and is waiting for review and comments. He would like comments from the commission. He is looking at a meeting in June being a public hearing and would like to address comments and questions then. Sanders stated they are looking at the environmental impacts to the 20 year master plan. He felt they need to address the noise impacts and to develop noise contours. Airport Commission March 13, 1997 Page 4 He stated there could be three residential parcels impacted by predicted noise levels. One is parcel is an occupied residence, one is an abandoned RV/trailer, and one is an abandoned or vacant house and stated these were included in the suggested parcels to be picked up. Commissioner Thibodeau asked about acquiring the land within the noise contour to preclude any future problems and wondered how necessary the land to the north was since it was wetlands and asked how they arrived at the runway length. Sanders responded that then- were two components, one was to relocate 200' because they don't meet the FAA current runway safety area requirements on the south end. The other is to determine what are the general aviation type aircraft that use the runway and accommodate those needs. There are times that other airlines need to designate an alternate airport. To accommodate this the designated runway length for these is 8,000 feet. Commissioner Halloway asked where Anchorage's cargo traffic divert to now and asked if FAA would consider designating Kenai as an alternate airport. Sanders responded that in the previous master plan the runway was 10,000 feet. Since that study was done Fairbanks is in the process of adding 1500 feet to their runway. He didn't feel there was the justification to do that. He stated that it is very competitive. 5. OLD BUSINESS A. Car Rental Proposal - Commissioner Thibodeau asked for comments on the proposed floor plan. Ernst responded that it was do -able, depending on the Council. He asked if $3,975 was the city's cost or Hertz's cost. The response was that it was only a city cost for the ceiling panels and some carpeting to patch where the walls come out. The estimate does not include the costs for three cabinets that they were unable to get costs on yet, but would be approximately $500. They stated that they are willing to pick up all other costs. Commissioner Thibodeau asked if they are still looking at June for the space to become available. Ernst responded that the packet included information showing that bankruptcy was filed with no assets, which should put it on the fast track. They are hoping that it will go sooner than 60-90 days, but don't expect it to. Everything would be contingent on it being released back to the city. Ernst stated that it would require a new lease since they (Hertz) are changing the dimensions of the lease area. Airport Commission March 13, 1997 Page 5 Commissioner Knackstedt MOVED to recommend that Council allow the car rental agency to remodel when the space becomes available and to rewrite or amend the lease at that time. Commissioner Holloway SECONDED the motion. Commissioner Thibodeau felt that if they were willing to cover the costs of remodeling, that the lease be rewritten for a new five years period. It was determined that in the proposal it was determined that the lease would be rewritten. A roll call vote was held. Koerber: A Knackstedt: Y Thibodeau: Y Holloway: Y Edwards: Y Bielefeld: Y Motion passed. B. Phone Card Machine - Ernst stated that they could accept the proposal to install a phone card machine under a non-exclusive use contract. He stated that if there was other interest in installing another machine then they could take it out to bid. He felt the unit was small enough it could go on the wall by the existing phones. He stated that if it was acceptable with the city attorney, he could have a contract drawn up if the Commission was in favor of the proposal. Commissioner Thibodeau felt that there was potential for misuse and was wondering where to draw the line on vending machines in the airport. He was not in favor of the proposal. Commissioner Knackstedt felt that communications and transportation go hand in hand. Commissioner Holloway MOVED to accept the proposal to install a phone card machine. Commissioner Knackstedt SECONDED the motion. Commissioner Koerber agreed with Commissioner Thibodeau as far as the vending machines go, but felt that since it was so small it could be acceptable. Commissioner Thibodeau stated that it should be made clear that there would be a non-exclusive contract if it was cleared with the city attorney. A roll vote was held: Thibodeau: N Koerber: Y Knackstedt: Y Holloway: Y Edwards: Y Bielefeld: Y Motion approved. Airport Commission March 13, 1997 Page 6 C. Payless Update - No discussion.

It will be a non-smoking restaurant but: they will sell cigars. 8.

He suggested taking a section at a time. Commissioner Bryson felt that the potential was so varied that each situation should go through the conditional use process and felt they should use the "N" category very selectively. He felt that all "N" categories should go through a conditional use process. Commissioner Mahurin felt that if the category was left blank it was to be considered as not permitted. Attorney Graves stated that the was under the impression that a blank meant it was not allowed, but felt for clarity's sake he would like to see a "C" or "N" and all of the blanks filled in. He felt an "N" would mean they couldn't even apply for a permit. Commissioner Mahurin felt that it should be more black and white. Commissioner Nord was uncomfortable with filling everything in with an "N". Commissioner Bryson stated that typically there isn't a category and they try to find the one that matches closest. He stated that the staff's work is the same either way. Commissioner Christian stated that if someone had a mobile home in an RS2 area, they could Planning and Zoning March 26, 1997 Page 1 apply. Attorney Graves responded that mobile homes are excluded. Commissioner Christian asked about a townhouse in RS 1. Commissioner Bryson stated that `here are several situations where there are no listings, so they have to find a category that comes close. He felt that he would like to see "N" in the categories where they are Appropriate. Commissioner Christian suggested that they start with the Commercial categories. He stated he would like to see "N" in all the residential zones. Commissioner Mahurin asked about the "C" zones. She suggested a show of hands to show consensus of everyone. Commissioner Bryson asked if there were any private properties in the Conservation zones. Commissioner Nord stated that there were a few that she knew of. Commissioner Werner-Quade suggested an "N" all the way down the Conservation column. Commissioner Christian stated that if we put "N" in there now it can be changed later if there is a specific request. City Engineer LaShot stated that there have been instances where there were high and dry properties that were zoned Conservation. He felt that there could be instances where the zoning could be changed by request. By show of hands all commissioners agreed to place "N" all the way down the Commercial category. Commissioner Christian asked if there should be an "N" in any of the RR zones. Commissioner Bryson felt uncomfortable leaving those open. Commissioner Christian felt they should be left for further consideration. Commissioner Werner-Qaade felt more comfortable with an "N". Commissioner Mahurin suggested an "N" all the way down. The suggestion was voted down by show of hands. Commissioner Christian asked if RRl was more restrictive. Commissioner Bryson stated that there are smaller lot sizes in RRL Engineer LaShot stated lot sizes are not the issue, but that they are zoned for duplexes. Commissioner Swarner-Quade stated she felt they should take each category one by one. Commissioner Goecke felt this turn severe and felt they were going at the effort all wrong. He felt nobody really knew what they wanted to do and suggested postponing it and to have each commissioner go home and check the boxes as they felt they should be marked and meet again. He suggested that if a majority felt the same way, then it should pass. Planning and Zoning March 26, 1997 Page 2 Commissioner Glick felt that a minority vote should at least get their say. Commissioner Mahurin suggested getting an administrative point of view also. Engineer LaShot stated he could do a list also. Commissioner Goecke felt the objective was to get a letter in every space. Commissioner Werner-Quade asked if any categories besides mobile homes should be removed. Attorney Graves stated that as the administration goes over the list they will come up with a clean copy. Commissioner Glick suggested another work session to go over the list. Commissioner Christian suggested the next meeting. Commissioner Goecke suggested deferring to Attorney Graves. Attorney Graves stated he would be out of town on April 3rd. Commissioner Mahurin will be out of town on the 23rd. Commissioner Christian stated he would be out from the 15th to the 22nd. Commissioner Glick suggested the I lth or the 14th. Commissioner Bryson has a Borough Planning Commission meeting on the 14th. It was agreed to meet on the 11th at 7:00 p.m. Commissioner Bryson asked about the zoning district's 3 and 4 family dwellings with or without water and sewer. he felt that the chart may need to be divided. Commissioner Glick stated he wasn't following the question. Commissioner Werner-Quade asked if that would be an apartment. Commissioner Bryson asked to have the question disregarded.

PZ97-8 - Buffalo Run Subdivision COMMISSIONER CHRISTIAN RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF PZ97-8. MOTION SECONDED BY GOECKE. City Engineer LaShot stated that there has been an application to rezone. He stated that this will be scheduled for the next meeting and has already been advertised. Commissioner Mahurin was confused why they would approve before the rezoning. Engineer LaShot felt it was to assist the developers. Commissioner Nord asked if the rezone requires a public hearing. Engineer LaShot responded yes. Commissioner Nord stated she was not in favor of approving first. Commissioner Bryson felt that both need to be addressed at the same time and felt the city engineer's suggestion was appropriate. Commissioner Christian felt that they both needed to be addressed at the same time. Commissioner Mahurin asked if the motion was to accept with the city's recommendation. Commissioner Christian responded yes. Commissioner Christian asked if fill would need to be brought in. The response was not it was not planned, but they were unsure if there could be sewer systems in the back lots without a major lift station. Commissioner Christian asked if it is not approved here would it still go before Borough Planning. Commissioner Bryson responded yes. Commissioner Nord withdrew her negative response.

He didn't care for the open-ended clause, but felt that some day there should be an end to it. Commissioner Goecke agreed and felt that there should be no kennels within the city limits, but felt that there should be: a time frame given. Attorney Graves felt that a commercial operation would be able to say their operation was taken away if that were done. Commissioner Christian stated that there was only one instance where there is a commercial operation. He felt that they could be given a conditional use permit. Commissioner Goecke felt that there could be a tough situation in telling these people they had to remove their dogs. Commissioner Christian felt it was not the intent to make people put their dogs down. Attorney Graves stated that he got the impression from Godek that it was not the intent to shut down the kennels, but that eventually they would limit themselves. Commissioner Mahurin felt that everything was working well as it is. She felt if this ordinance is approved that the existing permits should be grandfathered. Commissioner Bryson felt the grandfather issue has been addressed. He stated that if there were complaints, that there! should be some flexibility to reach a compromise. Commissioner Christian asked if the permit was denied then could there be an appeal. Attorney Graves responded that as long as they get a clean bill and keep their permit Planning and Zoning March 26, 1997 Page 6 renewed, then there won't be a problem. Commissioner Bryson proposed that RS1, RS2, TSH and RUs be left blank. Commissioner Nord asked that RS also be added. Commissioner Christian felt RS1 should be left open. Commissioner Werner-Quade agreed and felt that there should be restrictions on the RS2, TSH and RUs. Commissioner Goecke felt that all kennels should be banned within the city limits. Commissioner Bryson felt that there should be allowances for facilities to be available within the city. Commissioner Mahurin stated that it could be viewed as discriminatory to disallow dogs and yet allow ducks and geese and horses. She felt that she would rather be proactive. Commissioner Christian felt that approaching the livestock issue could be presented again later. COMMISSIONER BRYSON MOVED TO HAVE RS2, RU AND TSH INSERTED INTO THE APPLICABLE PORTION OF THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE. COMMISSIONER NORD SECONDED. Commissioner Goecke asked why not include RS. Commissioner Bryson stated that typically they have larger lots. Commissioner Goecke stated that he would like for purposes of discussion to include all of RS, RS1 and RS2. He felt that they should be included because the lots can get down to 7200 square feet. COMMISSIONER GOECKE MOVED TO AMEND THE MOTION TO INCLUDE RS AND RS1. COMMISSIONER CHRISTIAN SECONDED THE MOTION. Commissioner Bryson felt that it would kill it at the public hearing level. He stated that you could not even develop water and sewer on a 7200 square foot lot and you can only build on every other lot if they are that small. Commissioner Christian suggested making it a conditional use in that situation. Commissioner Bryson felt that if people wanted to they could rezone. VOTE ON AMENDMENT ONLY: GOECKE: YES NORD: NO MAHURIN: NO CHRISTIAN: NO Planning and Zoning March 26, 1997 Page 7 GLICK: NO WERNER-QUADE: NO AMENDMENT FAILED,. VOTE ON MOTION: NORD: YES CHRISTIAN: YES BRYSON: YES GOECKE: NO MOTION PASSED. BRYSON: NO MAHUREN: NO GLICK: YES WERNER-QUADE: YES Attorney Graves stated that he would prepare the packet with the three zones on it. 9. CODE ENFORCEMENT ITEMS None. 10. REPORTS a. City Council - Councilman Smalley reported that city will be adding City of Kenai medallions to townsite historic signs. EDD is going through transition. Resolutions 97-16 and 97-17 both passed unanimously. On Item H.4 Kathy Scott will be putting together a symposium to discuss long term economic growth for April 26th. This will be held at the Senior Center and is open to the public. Werner-Quade asked what the EDD does. Councilman Smalley responded that they do incubator businesses and assist in getting businesses started and promote business on the peninsula. Werner-Quade asked about the economic symposium. Councilman Smalley stated that this is to look at the 5-10 year economic development of the city. b. Borough Planning - Commissioner Bryson stated that they met last Monday. He reported that the consent agenda was approved. Changes proposed to habitat protection zone restricting boardwalk lengths was not approved. Their recommendation was to leave that portion of the ordinance the way it is and felt if Soldotna comes up with a situation where it could be appropriate, a conditional use permit could be issued. Public hearings were held on proposed street name changes. Two were requested to be reconsidered and they will be readvertised. Planning and Zoning March 26, 1997 Page 8 Castaway Cove Subdivision request for a constructed structure recommendation was to approve under the conditions of Fish and Game and DEC. They are not in favor of the proposed project without changes to the designed facility. Airport coastal zone management review was up for comments. There were several recommendations made for proposed Taxiway C. Item L1 authorizing the sale of 8,000 acres of land near Pt. Possession. The petitioner proposed to purchase the land for $1 million and the cost of the road to the land was to be deducted from that amount. The Borough felt the road would have to be up to borough standards and would be at the developer's expense. Negotiations are still under way. The person developing the pit near Chiechanski Road felt it should be grandfathered. The administration decided it had been in progress. The decision was appealed. The Planning Commission ruled it had been under development. They appealed to the Assembly. The Assembly reversed the decision. They now have to apply as a new pit. b. Administration - Engineer LaShot stated that he and Marilyn will not be at the next meeting. He reported that probably Bob Springer would attend. 11. PERSONS PRESENT NOT SCHEDULED None. 12. INFORMATION ITEMS Referred to items in packet. 13. COMMISSIONER CONEWENTS & QUESTIONS Commissioner Mahurin asked to get comments on the Airport Commission meeting. She stated she was disappointed that City Council didn't hire a City Manager. Commissioner Bryson stated that he attended the Airport meeting and that they mainly discussed the Master Plan and discussed proposed relocated facilities at the airport. Commissioner Christian commented on the ordinance from Soldotna and felt it was a progressive step and something the city of Kenai could apply also. Planning and Zoning March 26, 1997 Page 9 Commissioner Werner-Quade commented on the EDD and felt that they should change their name or maybe their stance. She did not feel that they are a business. Councilman Smalley responded that the best place for her to express her concerns were with the Assembly. He stated that during the work session for the City Manager there was concern over the number of applicants and the caliber of the candidates. He stated the majority felt they would like to continue the search next fall and requested Mr. Ross to continue until then. Commissioner Christian asked if it was because the Council anticipates a turnover in the Council in the next election. Councilman Smalley responded that it was due to the budget process in process at this time. He felt that there was too small a turnout in the candidate search. Commissioner Glick congratulated Commissioner Mahurin on her award. 14. ADJOURNMENT COMMISSIONER GOECKE MOVED TO ADJOURN. COMMISSIONER MAHURIN SECONDED THE MOTION.

CITY MANAGER CANDIDATE DISCUSSION: Williams requested comments from council as to the process. Smalley reported he reviewed the candidate resumes twice, looking for different characteristics he felt important for a city manager to possess. He added, he looked for persons with a legal and financial background, as well as experience in lobbying and working with the Alaska Legislature. Moore stated he ignored about half of the applicants whose resumes were in the binder either because they didn't follow the instructions or their answers (to in-depth questions) were not was requested. He added, there were three or four he felt qualified, but perhaps not to run the city, according to the score sheets. Bookey reported he reviewed the resumes twice and chose seven names, however, felt none were impressive. Swarner reported she picked out seven applicants which she felt answered the questions and followed the directions. Bannock and Measles had no comments. KENAI CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION MARCH 6, 1997 PAGE 2 Williams stated he wrote a note to the city manager and stated he didn't want to seem short -sided, but felt there should be someone within the State to hire. He short-listed six and all were Alaska residents. He added, some on his list he didn't think were fully qualified, but had some expertise and lived in Alaska. Bookey stated he looked for someone with managerial skills, whether in the stage or not. He added, out of the seven he pulled out, three were in Alaska and four out. He left McAlpine in but was unsure whether he would choose him as he is an attorney and the city already had an attorney. Individual councilmembers then listed the names they chose from the applicants. Those named by councilmembers, along with how many of council chose the name, are below: Hugh Bevan (6) Nancy Cannington (5) Paul Day (6) David Dengel (2) Michael Lamb (2) Stephen McAlpine (6) Richard Meyers (1) Richard Widmer (1) Dennis Sparks (2) Jim Allan (2) Williams chose: Hugh Bevan, Nancy Cannington, Paul Day, David Dengel, Michael Lamb and Stephen McAlpine.

Measles chose: Stephen McAlpine, Hugh Bevan, Dennis Sparks, and Richard Widmer. Measles explained, he discounted Cannington and Day from the running because they did not meet the basic qualifications. He added, they did however, rate up with the others with experience, etc. KENAI CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION MARCH 6, 1997 PAGE 3 Council discussed the advertisement and what it requested for minimum qualifications. A copy of the advertisement was reviewed by council. Measles stated he was concerned there may have been people who would have applied for the position, but didn't meet the minimum qualifications and didn't apply. Swarner stated she felt there were no applicants who stood out as a leader. Measles and Bookey agreed. She added, there was nothing in their paperwork that interested her. Smalley stated McAlpine interested him due to his background in legal, ports, finance and lobbying. Council then discussed the list of candidates pulled out earlier and offered comments if they felt the candidate should remain in the running. Richard Meyers -- No comments (eliminated). Gene Green -- No comments (eliminated). Richard Widmer - Measles asked his name to remain. Jim Allan -- Smalley and Bookey requested his name remain.

Smalley stated he scored him at 22 points; Measles noted he had scored him at 54; and Swarner noted his application was complete. Measles suggested individual copies of the applicant resumes should be made for council to review for more in-depth discussion. Discussion followed in regard to minimum requirements. It was decided to eliminate Day and Cannington because they did not meet the minimum requirements. KENAI CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION MARCH 6, 1997 PAGE 4 Jim Allan - Swarner noted his application was incomplete, i.e. he didn't respond with items of controversy, etc. Even if there was nothing controversial, he did not note there wasn't Hugh Bevan - Smalley noted Bevan didn't respond to the controversial item question either. Moore disagreed, stating he mentioned a list of projects that went amiss, and how he became the department head, etc. Individual review ended. Williams stated council should review each of the resumes and score them individually prior to a March 20 work session. Discussion followed regarding the scoring of the resumes. Council would be using the score sheets previously made available to council. Williams stated council needed to decide whether to throw out all the candidates or arrange for interviews. Swarner suggested council should make: the final decision of who to hire in a unanimous vote. Bannock disagreed. Moore asked how much weight should be placed on outside influences, i.e. comments received from residents. Williams answered, council needed to only look at what had been submitted by the applicant. Any other comments would be discussed when they whittle the group down to two or three and background checks are made. Council requested copies to them, along with score resumes for the March 20, p.m. in council chambers. ADJOURNMENT of the final six resumes be distributed sheets.

Freas, City Clerk KENAI CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION CITY MANAGER SEARCH MARCH 20, 1997 7:00 P.M. KENAI CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS COUNCIL PRESENT: Williams, Moore, Smalley, Bookey, Swarner and Bannock. COUNCIL ABSENT: Measles STAFF PRESENT: Freas, Ross, Semmens, DeForest, Graves and Porter. Clerk Freas distributed a letter from Councilman Measles to the mayor and councilmembers. City Manager Ross distributed a copy of the legislative budget for council review prior to the budget work session. Freas requested the Volunteer Reception location be changed to the Senior Center because the Visitor Centers notified her the date, April 18, was no longer available at the Visitors Center. There were no objections to moving the location. COUNCIL BUDGET: Mayor Williams discussed with council the reason he increased the amount for lobbying services in the legislative budget. He explained, the funds would be needed to either hire a lobbyist to help in obtaining funding for the Challenger project or to be used as start-up salary for a director of the project. He added, Kathy Scott has stated she did not want to continue with the Challenger project in her present capacity and someone else would need to carry on. Williams noted a request for funding would be made to the Governor and hopefully, intent language will be included in legislation to fund the Challenger project. If the state funding ($1.5 million) is received, help still may be needed to acquire the federal funds ($2.5 million). It is his understanding that money is included in the pool of appropriations for Alaska through Senator Stevens. If the money is not received, council will need to decide whether to move on by hiring a new director or pull back on the project and !:'_re a lobbyist. He planned on the $25,000 for the project and added an additional $10,000 in case a lobbyist would be needed on a month -to -month basis. Ross added, he thought council may want to consider hiring a lobbyist on a need basis, i.e. find out who would be effective on a particular matter and hire that lobbyist on an hourly basis. KENAI CITY COUNCII, WORK SESSION MARCH 20, 1997 PAGE 2 He added, Ashley Reed has not been and will not be effective with the Juneau legislators representing the Kenai area. CITY MANAGER SEARCH Williams explained, he understood the council was somewhat deadlocked on the city manager issue. There were three of the councilmembers who had made a choice of candidates to interview and three councilmembers who were not satisfied with the pool of applications and wanted to stop the process. There was one councilmember who could swing the decision either direction. Williams stated he wanted to move ahead and make a determination to bring candidates for interview. He did not think the city could continue with an interim city manager and get things done that needed to be done. He did not think it fair to Ross or the council. If the process was discontinued, he would not be willing to start over again until after the October election. Williams asked council to move ahead and bring in candidates for personal interviews. Councilman Smalley stated council could, at any stage, decide to stop the process. He wanted to go forward with interviews and added, if they interview candidates, it would not mean they would have to make a hire. Councilman Moore stated he was not willing to stop the process, but was not dead set to hire at this time either. He felt council owed it to the candidates to interview and then make a decision. Councilman Bookey :Mated he respected all the remarks made, but totally disagreed. He added, he didn't score the six candidates as he wouldn't hire! any of them. Councilwoman Swarne:r stated she didn't feel comfortable with any one of the candidates and didn't think it fair to the candidates to go on. She added, she didn't think it would be fair to lead the candidates on through an interview if there is a question in council's minds. Smalley explained, he meant there were two or three of the candidates he would. feel comfortable with and could hire one of them. He supported. moving on. He added, he spent a lot of time reviewing the six applications and felt one of those applicants could do a good job. KENAI CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION MARCH 20, 1997 PAGE 3 Councilman Bannock identified himself as being the swing vote. He explained, he scored the six candidates as accurately as he could. He discussed the matter with Mayor Williams and read the letter from Councilman Measles. After scoring the first time, he gave it more thought and re -scored the candidates and chose who he wanted out of the six. He added, out of the six, he did not see anyone with whom he wanted to replace Ross. Williams noted indications of a 4/3 decision to not continue the process and unless one of the members would be changing their feelings, the process should be discontinued. Williams added, he would not want to begin the process again until after the October election. He noted also that he made similar statement to Ross the day before and asked him if he (Ross) would be willing to continue as interim city manager. Ross stated he would be willing to stay and readvertise the position. He requested council's approval to make city legal resources available to him to deal with PERS and their concerns. He suggested a resolution could be considered by council which would define the intent of his employment. Council had no objections to the use of city legal resources for that purpose. Williams referred to Measles' letter in which it suggested extending Ross' contract for one year with an option to stay for two. Williams added, he believed that would make Ross a full- time city manager and that needed broad discussion with the entire council and with Ross. Ross stated he thought council may want to discuss what they want in a city manager. They have seen how he operates. If there were things they wanted to see as a city manager and they hadn't seen them, it was because they were not there. He offered to discuss those areas with council if they wished to discuss them, but had no problem continuing as city manager. Discussion followed in regard to conversations held during the interview when Ross was appointed interim city manager and concerns were stated that there may have been other people interested in the position, but didn't apply because of the minimum requirements. It was suggested council may have spoiled the process. Williams stated he wanted a city manager willing to stay for a long time. He added, he believed council was doing a disservice to the city by not taking charge of directives of the city. KENAI CITY COUNCIL 14ORK SESSION MARCH 20, 1997 PAGE 4 Bookey stated he agreed they needed to hire a city manager, but not with the candidates they had. He had no objection in waiting to September or October to readvertise. He added, he didn't want to rush or make a mistake. They did that before. Smalley stated he didn't think the process was spoiled. This was the second time they went through the applications. The screening had already taken place. He added, he believed anyone of the six candidates could do the job. Williams stated he would not vote for a candidate who does not live in Alaska. He believes there should be plenty of viable candidates who already live in the state. Swarner stated she :pushed to begin the process but now thought they probably should have first discussed goals and what council wanted in a city manager. She questioned whether the education requirements may be too strict, but a line had to be drawn somewhere. Ross stated he didn't think council erred. He was disappointed in the applications received didn't include more people who were currently working as city managers in Alaska. He added, he didn't think council was too restrictive. There just was not a big pool of applicants. Williams stated, having degrees does not always mean the person will be proficient. Being able to do the job has to do with the level of intelligence from which the person operates. Moore stated he had no hard feelings with council if the majority of them were not satisfied with the applications. He added, he was satisfied with Ross' performance and was willing to continue with Ross. Ross suggested after the budget and the goals and objectives are formulated, council may want to redefine what they want as a city manager before advertising in the fall. He added, council had a fractious summer. Perhaps it was not a good idea to start advertising for a city manager so soon. That may have had some affect on why there were not more applications from people working as city managers in Alaska. Williams stated he thought the media did a disservice to the city through articles appearing in the newspaper that stated McAlpine was the front-runner when council had not made that determination. Also, that radio program announcers spoiled the KENAI CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION MARCH 20, 1997 PAGE 5 process by comments that were made. Williams added, he would bring that to discussion during a radio appearance he will be making. He added, he would state his comments were his opinion. The search process was officially closed. Administration was requested to write letters to the applicants and thank them all for being very patient; state the council is not yet quite ready to hire a new city manager; the process will continue late in the fall; and, they would see the advertisement in the fall.

PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE Mayor Williams led those assembled in the Pledge of Allegiance. A-2. ROLL CALL Roll was taken by the City Clerk. Present were: Smalley, Williams, Bookey, Swarner, Moore and Bannock. Absent was: Measles. A-5. AGENDA APPROVAL Mayor Williams requested the following changes to the agenda: ADD AS: B-3, Persons Scheduled to be Heard - Aleja DeVito, EDD Update. MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED for approval of the agenda as amended and requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. Councilman Bookey SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. A-6. CONSENT AGENDA Mayor Williams noted he had no changes to the consent agenda. F Y ceI 0 to) Z,F Councilman Smalley MOVED to approve the consent agenda as presented. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. ITEM B: PUBLIC COMMENT B-1. Paul Gray - Kenai River Video Mr. Gray referred to the information included in the packet. He explained he had been in the publishing business for fifteen years. He started out publishing the Buyer's Corner (now the Buyer's KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 19, 1997 PAGE 2 Guide), and now publishes the Dispatch. He is now compiling a 30- minute weekly television show about the bio-hydraulics of the Kenai River to be broadcast on a major Anchorage TV station from May through September. The program will discuss habitat protection, the watershed ecosystem, and day-to-day activities that directly affect the conditions. Also, habitat and human disturbances of the environment will be discussed, where people can go to fish, and it will cover local concerns of the lower river, i.e. destruction of sand dunes, bank erosion, boat wakes, canneries and commercial fishing. The program will also feature fishing in a safe and responsible manner, rafting, and the nature and beauty of the Kenai River. He requested council. consider splitting the cost of producing and airing the show with the City of Soldotna ($15,000). He noted the City of Soldotna showed a strong favorable response, but at this time, no indication of contributing to the effort. He also explained, if the City contributes, it would receive two 30-second commercials (during each program) in which it could feature the airport, ARFF, float:plane basin, senior center, etc. Gray was asked if the agencies he quoted in his information had offered financial support. Gray answered no, there had been no offer. Gray also explained, there would be a different program every week and if the city contributed $15,000, half of the programs would be about Kenai. The program is to air at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday afternoons. Councilman Moore asked if Gray had talked with any of the local user groups (Chambers, Kenai River Sportfishing, UCIDA). Gray answered, he had talked with them and Ben Ellis would be involved with habitat protection segments and a representative from the canneries offered to write some of the script. He is only focusing on the Kenai River this year. Councilman Bannock stated he felt the cost was a bargain for the air time the city would receive. Councilwoman Swarner stated she was concerned that an RFP had not been issued for videos. Gray stated, videos could be made from the programs for city's distribution. Council noted further discussion of the item should be during the budget hearings as the funding for such a project would come from the 97/98 budget. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 19, 1997 PAGE 3 B-2. Bill Kluge - City of Kenai Medallions/Historic District Board and Rotary Sign Project. Mr. Kluge reported on the progress the Rotary Club and Historic District Board had made on the sign project for Old Towne. He reported there would be 22 signs placed and they would be made of 1' x 2' clear cedar. A description of the building would be routed in and space would be available to place a Rotary medallion on one side of the sign. He requested council consider having medallions made with the city logo on them (like the lapel pins) to be placed on the other side of the sign. Kluge noted price information from the company where the city orders its lapel pins quoted $650 for a minimum of 100 medallions. Kluge suggested the extra medallions could be used as handouts to special visitors to the city, etc. Ross reported there were no grant funds available to purchase the medallions. Bookey asked if the grant funds were city -matched and how much the grant funds were. Answers were not available. MOTION: Councilman Bannock MOVED for the City of Kenai to purchase a minimum order of 100, 3k" medallions at a cost not -to -exceed $650.00. The first 22 medallions would go to the Rotary/Historic Board sign project in Old Towne. Councilman Bookey SECONDED the motion. Discussion followed as to what kind of metal the medallions would be made of and Clerk Freas was requested to check whether there would be a protective coating on the back side of the medallions. Discussion also included whether the medallions could be made of brass. It was noted cost for brass would be higher. Kluge stated he would check on cost of brass medallions. MOTION TO AMEND: Councilman Smalley MOVED to amend the motion by changing the not - to -exceed amount to $1,000. Councilman Bannock SECONDED the motion. Bookey asked if the signs would be subject to vandalism. Kluge stated yes, but added, the signs would be removed and stored during the winter months. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 19, 1997 PAGE 4 VOTE ON AMENDMENT: There were no objections to the amendment. 80 ORDERED. VOTE ON AMENDED MOTION: There were no objections to the amended motion. 80 ORDERED. B-3. Aleja Devito - Economic Development District Update. Devito reported EDD was going through a transition and are attempting to expand their awareness in the communities and of the communities they serve. She has been appointed as the liaison to Kenai and would be attending council meetings at least once a month. Devito continued, EDD was advertising for the chief executive officer position and are also working through a new performance base plan. Areas of focus being included in he plan are business assistance programs, revolving loan fund, business innovation center and a research and analysis program (including quarterly report, Industry and Community Profiles and the Situations & Prospects). She distributed a copy of the industry and Community Profile to council for their review. She continued, EDD was also working on special projects which include recruitment and international trade. DeVito announced their next board meeting will be held on March 27 instead of April 10. Also, between March 31 and April 12, there will be two representatives from the Sakhalin Region visiting the area as Phase 2 of the Sister -Cities grant. The visitors will be involved with the Peninsula Clarion. Williams noted he would be touring the Russian group on Thursday, April 3 to Kenai City Hall. That same day there will be a lunch for the visitors at the Kings Inn. He encouraged councilmembers to attend the EDD board meetings. ITEM C: PUBLIC HEARINGS C-1. Resolution No. 97-16 - Accepting the donation of Two New Pool Tables from Tyler Distributing Company, Inc. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES KXRCH 19, 1997 PAGE 5 MOTION: Councilman Bookey MOVED for approval of Resolution No. 97-16 and Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion. There were no public comments. Councilman Smalley asked if a thank -you letter would be sent to Mr. Tyler. Answer was yes, the Clerk had written a letter. VOTE: There were no objections. SO ORDERED. C-2. Resolution No. 97-17 - Supporting Phillips Alaska Natural Gas Corporation's and Marathon Oil Company's Application for a Five -Year Extension of Their Export Authorization for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). Councilman Smalley MOVED for approval of Resolution No. 97-17 and Councilman Bookey SECONDED the motion. Williams noted he met with representatives from Marathon/Phillips and Enstar/Unocal and heard both sides' concerns. There are mixed reactions to the request by Marathon for the extension of their LNG permit. He thought the decision of how much gas was available often changes, depending what company was talking and what the gas was to be used for and where the gas would be delivered. The amounts of gas shown in the information included in the packet, were developed by independent agencies and proven in place by those who have the gas available for use. There was some dispute as to how much gas was really available. He added, the question not answered was how much gas was out there but not yet proven but known to be in place. Williams added, on a national level, the gas reserves across the United States only hits nine years. Gas reserves here are equivalent to 15 to 20 years. Williams noted, this is not a resolution that was not presented lightly, but has been investigated and reviewed. Moore asked, after reading the information in the packet, what the Department of Energy was up against. Williams answered, Marathon was asking for a five-year extension on their export license in KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 19, 1997 PAGE 6 order to export energy from the United States. Enstar was arguing there were not reserves in place that Marathon says there are. Enstar believes there won't be reserves in place at the peak shaving periods when they need the gas. Williams also reported that Marathon was interested in delivering gas to the City of Kenai in place of Enstar. Ross noted, that since deregulation, companies were direct -marketing gas. Marathon wants to market -direct gas (for city buildings), giving the city a discount. He noted a company named Aurora brokered gas from Arco and is now direct -marking to the school district. Administration is investigating the matter and there is a possibility the city may go out for an RFP. He added, there was a great possibility there will be more companies doing this because of deregulation. VOTE: There were no objections. SO ORDERED. C-3. 1997/98 Liquor License Renewal - BPOE Elks Lodge #2425 - Club. Approved by consent agenda. C-4. 1996/97 Liquor License Continuance Protest - WITHDRAWAL New Peking Restaurant - Restaurant/Eating Place Approved by consent agenda. BREAK TAKEN: 8:01 P.M. BACK TO ORDER: 8:12 P.M. ITEM D: COMMISSION/COMMITTEE REPORTS D-1. Council on Aging Swarner reported the March 10 meeting minutes were included in the packet. Concerns were discussed in regard to the price of meals for non -seniors and out-of-town seniors. D-2. Airport commission Airport Manager Ernst reported a meeting was held on March 13. The meeting was lengthy and detailed in regard to the Master Plan KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 19, 1997 PAGE 7 discussion. The minutes of the meeting will be included in the next packet. D-3. Harbor Commission Councilman Bookey reported the March 3 meeting minutes were included in the packet. The next meeting was scheduled for April 7. D-4. Library Commission Councilman Moore reported the next meeting would be held on April 1. A copy of the March meeting minutes were included in the packet. Sunday openings would begin on April 6. D-5. Parks & Recreation Commission Councilman Bannock reported the meeting minutes were included in the packet. He reported there was discussion in regard to the Kenai River Festival and their request to use the FAA grounds instead of the park strip by the ballfields. Parks & Recreation Director Frates reported the Festival committee made their request approximately three weeks ago. The event will take place June 7 and 8. He stated he had no objections, however, because they were choosing not to use the green strip, he did not think it was the city's responsibility to pay for utilities, garbage, porta-potties, etc. as the city has done in the past. Bookey stated his agreement. Williams asked why they did not want to use the park strip area. Frates answered, they told him it was not aesthetically pleasing. Brenda Stoops - Introduced herself as a member of the Kenai River Festival Committee. Stoops stated they did not all agree on this one point, however, most of the members felt that until the City of Kenai is willing to make the strip more aesthetically appealing (flat, grass, sidewalks, plants, etc.), they did not want to hold their event there. She added, when they put so much energy into the Festival, they don't want to hold it somewhere where people doni t want to hang out. using the park strip would be hard to live with. Stoop continued, the Festival Committee was trying to find a location close to the river, bluff side. She hoped council appreciated their concerns. They also like the proximity of the highways by the FAA fields. It is a nice spot and they think they KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 19, 1997 PAGE 8 can make it work. They want to tie the event into the River, have tours of the canneries available, etc. Stoop stated their committee had already requested service to the area from HEA and they have agreed to place a temporary drop of 200 amps to provide electrical service for the event. Swarner referred to and questioned Stoops' comments the park strip area was not aesthetically pleasing. Swarner noted there were flower beds, toys, bathrooms, etc. at the park. Stoops stated most people don't see that and added, it was not a pleasing spot. In general, not a place to linger. Swarner stated her aversion to those remarks. She added, she has a garden plot in that area and while working in her garden, sees lots of families using the area. Not only the toys, but the rest of the area as well. She added, she did not think the FAA field was a place to hang out and she would choose the park strip instead. She added, if they chose to use the FAA fields where there were no facilities, and running water, it was their choice. Stoop stated the FAA field came above the park strip. Swarner asked how many parking spaces would be available. Stoop stated there would be ample parking spaces. They would probably have parking directly behind the FAA buildings. Councilman Moore asked if the FAA fields were maintained by the city. Frates answered yes, the city mows and fertilizes them. Williams stated he thought the FAA field with the antennas was the most obnoxious area of the city. He added, he didn't object to them using the FAA field, but found it curious that the city had spent over $100,000 putting in utilities, restrooms, etc. at the park strip in order to handle large crowds of people and they didn't think it an acceptable spot. He added, he didn't know what kind of public reaction would be received when there would be no public facilities other than port -a -potties. He noted, parking there would be limited and if it rains, the ground will be a quagmire. Stoops added, she would like the city to put some energy into making the park strip more pleasing and offered to help with ideas. Frates stated they had discussed placing sidewalks and trees, although that area is different than the Leif Hansen Park. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 19, 1997 PAGE 9 Bookey asked if there would be any legal ramifications for the Festival to be held at the FAA grounds. Attorney Graves answered no. Council had no objections to allow the Kenai River Festival to be held at the FAA grounds. Frates also reported Rick Baldwin spoke to the Commission about the possibility of building a bare -bones ice rink. He and others had been discussing a three -sided facility (like Nikiski's) at a cost of approximately $600,000. The Commission is to solidify plans and come back to council with information later. Williams stated he planned to discuss with the Borough Mayor, the possibility of building a covered ice rink at a price of $1 million, with the Borough sharing the cost. He added, he visited with Baldwin and Nate Kiel in regard to the facility and had a copy of reports they compiled. Williams asked if council had objections to him speaking to the Borough Mayor on the subject. There were no objections from council. Ross reported he had met with Kiel and was told they want a bare bones project because they were afraid of it becoming more costly and then be rejected by the voters. Ross suggested one possibility for acquiring property on which to build a facility would be for the city to sell BOR lands (by the golf course) and use the funds to acquire other property for the facility. D-6. Planning & Zoning Commission Councilman Smalley reviewed the actions taken at the last Planning & Zoning commission. He reported the Commission discussed the upcoming rezoning of property for the new animal shelter. The Commission will hold a public hearing on the matter at their next meeting. Smalley also reported the Commission will discuss the definition of cabins at a work session prior to their March 26 meeting. They will also discuss in what sections of town limitations need to be placed, where they will be able to be placed, and what they could look like, etc. They will also discuss dog kennels and specific zones in which they might be allowable. KENAI CITY MARCH 19, PAGE 10 COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES 1997 D-7. Miscellaneous jZommissions and committees D-7a. Beautification Committee Councilwoman Swarner reported the Committee met on March it and noted the minutes of the meeting were included in the packet. She added, the banners were being completed and there would be a reception honoring the artists and workers at the Art Guild. Names of the volunteers will be forwarded to the Clerk for the council's volunteer reception. Swarner added, the Committee also discussed a litter bag fanny pack program and noted the green house was working and plants were growing. D-7b. Historic District Board Councilman Moore reported the Board had a scheduled meeting on Monday, March 17, however there was no quorum. Because there were matters in relation to the grant which must be discussed, the Board requested a special meeting be held on Monday, March 24. Council was asked if there were objections in holding the special meeting. There were no objections. D-7c. Challenger Board Councilman Bannock reported he, Councilman Smalley and Mayor Williams, along with Lt. Governor Ulmer and representatives from Alaska Aerospace, the Borough Mayor, and a number of teachers from around the state traveled to Seattle to take part in a Challenger exercise on March 15. The activity was very successful. He added, at the follow-up dinner, it was stated how much the state needs this program and how Kenai lead the way. Bannock noted he heard no negative comments from any of the participants. In discussions with people from Wasilla, he asked if they would come to Kenai to have their students use the facility. The teacher told him yes, as they take students (by bus) to Homer every year now. It was reported staff from City hall on March 27 at Challenger Board would like upcoming budget hearing. groups be presented at the from the April 10 hearing). Senator Murkowski's office would be at 3:00 p.m. Bannock also noted the to make a presentation to council at an Council suggested all requests from April 17 budget hearing (moving them Council agreed.

Scott & Associates Proposal/Economic Symposium/April 26, 1997. Kathy Scott thanked council for inviting their proposal to coordinate, develop, facilitate and report on the Kenai Economic Outlook Forum to be held on April 26 at the Kenai Senior Center. She then reviewed her proposal with council discussing the scope of the project and the responsibilities of both K. Scott & Associates and the city. Scott noted the forum would be a one -day event, she did not include costs for meals and based her cost on the City Clerk attending to the reception table. She noted, it was understood the public would have access to the forum and the city would be responsible for posting its official notices. She suggested the ads should suggest registering by phone in order to have a basis for food service guarantees. A report summarizing the process will be developed by her firm and presented prior to the council's goals and objectives May 14 work session. The cost of the proposal was $8,260. Scott distributed a matching grant fund application for the city to consider. She noted there was a questionnaire attached to the information in the packet and requested council to complete it and return it to her. The questions were developed to help them develop the program for the forum. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 19, 1997 PAGE 12 ITEM F: CORRESPONDENCE None. ITEM G: OLD BUSINESS G-1. Discussion - Proposed Animal Shelter Ross reported the public hearing for the rezone of the Willow Street property would be before Planning & Zoning at their next meeting. He understood there would not be a problem. Administration has requested an appraisal on the property and a survey is in progress. Administration is investigating a lease versus a purchase. They are looking at the possibility of swapping land for the ARFF and the animal shelter. This may be able to be done instead of the Airport purchasing the ARFF property from the General Fund and the General Fund purchasing the property from the Airport for the animal shelter. Williams asked if the project would be underway this construction season. Ross answered, the rezone should be accomplished at the city level in the next week. However, it will then need to go to the Borough for its approval. A response was still needed from FAA (the rate of return to the Airport Fund requires FAA approval) and funding for the project still needed to be discussed by council. Ross suggested a work session be scheduled to discuss the funding. He added, Administration had reviewed the possibility of building the facility with airport funding and doing a lease/purchase back. More discussion is required in regard to possible ramifications. Bookey stated he would like the funding for the shelter discussed during a budget session as a facility needed to be built this year. Williams stated he felt the state and city's future were bright and it would be remiss for the city to not continue the development and planning for the city, i.e. animal shelter, ARFF, new maintenance building, etc. It was decided to discuss funding for the animal shelter during a budget work session.

KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 19, 1997 PAGE 14 Councilman Bookey stated he was concerned the participation may not be large enough to justify the cost. He noted two of the top 20 property owners were canneries and thought they would not attend. Smalley referred to an education summit recently held and how well it was attended. He thought the forum would have good attendance and would be money well spent. Williams stated he was first concerned about the cost, but noted there was little city hall involvement and often council does not note the time and effort staff puts into a project and how costly it would be if it was not part of the service of staff. Swarner noted she too was concerned about the cost and would like to see as much work as possible done in-house if staff had time available. Williams stated he has had discussions with public people, newspaper and airline representatives, as well as property owners and had not received any negative comments about holding the forum. He added, he didn't talk to negative people, but talked with people who thought the city should go forward with the forum. Williams noted also the council had not held a goals and objectives workshop in approximately three years and the information garnered from the forum would help them in their setting of goals, etc. Ross requested council outsource any clerical help as there was staff -time constraints, as well as wrist problems, etc. that lessened the availability of staff involvement. Bookey noted he didn't realize the time and effort needing to go into coordinating the project. MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED to proceed with the project and Councilman Bookey SECONDED the motion. Councilman Smalley requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. There were no objections. 80 ORDERED. It was noted the city manager would be the key contact for Scott during the project. EXECUTIVE SESSION - None scheduled. ITEM I: ADMINISTRATION REPORTS KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 19, 1997 PAGE 15 I-1. Mayor Williams referred to the 2/27/97 letter from Governor Knowles which was included in the packet. The letter indicated the items the Governor included on his list of projects to be funded in the Kenai area. Williams encouraged council to take a copy of the letter with them to Juneau and speak to the area legislators about the projects. I-2. city Manager Ross reported administration would continue as it had been with the soil situation. He also noted the personal property ordinance was voted down at the Borough Assembly meeting the night before. He added, Finance Director Semmens had been attending the finance committee meetings. Councilman Bannock stated the assemblymembers from the south were intent on amending the personal property ordinance. Ross agreed and added, he thought an ordinance to amend would be back in a different form in the future. I-3. Attorney No report. I-4. City Clerk a. Kenai River Festival - Clerk Freas noted the request for donations from the Festival committee which she included in the packet. She noted, council had placed $300 in their budget for this purpose and asked if council wanted to go forward with the donation. MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED to donate $300 to the Kenai River Festival. Councilman Moore SECONDED the motion. Smalley stated, there are user groups who don't necessarily agree with council (and visa versa), but they do bring activity to the community. He added, since council had contributed in the past and the scenario is the same, he would like council to support the donation. Bookey stated he wanted to reevaluate the item at budget sessions. Williams suggested a letter go with the donation stating how KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 19, 1997 PAGE 16 extremely sorry the zouncil was to have failed to provide them with a facility commensurate with their needs, but wish them success in their location. Smalley stated he thought the city had provided a facility that better meets the needs than of what they are requesting. The city has crone out of its way to provide an area, not just for that group, but other large or larger groups, that have held successful activities there. Smalley stated he would not support the issuance of a letter, but would support the donation. Bannock asked if there was $300 in the Legislative budget. Freas answered yes, and explained it was a line item in the budget. Council donated $300 in 1995 and 1996. Williams suggested the motion could be withdrawn and council could direct the clerk to forward the donation. WITHDRAWAL OF MOTION: Councilman Smalley withdrew the motion and Councilman Moore withdrew his second. Direction was given for the Clerk to forward the $300 donation to the Kenai River Festival Committee. b.

Citizens Bob Peters - Stated he was inspired by the discussion of future projects for the city, but was disappointed the library addition was not mentioned. J-2. Council Bookey - Nothing. Swarner - Noted she meant to say she requested Attorney Graves comment on the takings bill, not the railroad. Moore - Moore referred to the letter from the Governor in regard to capital projects in the Kenai area. Moore asked what was the total estimated cost for the Forest Drive rehabilitation project. Kornelis answered $4 million (the letter noted $1 million in this budget). Kornelis added, he believed the Governor was referring to state funds for the project. The rest of the funding will be federal monies. The funds had already been dedicated, but had heard a rumor the project may be delayed another year. Kornelis added, the design for the rehabilitation has been started. ISTEA money had been divided up in regions, but now it will go where the state thinks it is needed. The project is moving forward. Bannock - Nothing. Smalley - Nothing. ITEM K: The meeting was adjourned at approximately 9:36 p.m. Minutes transcribed and submitted by: Carol L.

Usually I do not step into Board of Fish matters, preferring to let the fishery and resource experts deal with these issues. However, in this instance, because of the large number of Kenai Peninsula constituents who contacted me, I did write the Chairman of the Board of Fish and the Commissioner of Fish and Game with my objections, and Senator Torgerson and I issued a joint press release as well. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for joining in the many fishermen, women and processors who voiced their objections to this proposed action with letters, faxes and phone calls to the Board of Fish and to our legislative offices. Your public testimony was very important. Additionally, it seems that the outcry over circumventing the public input process and allowing issues to come up that, according to board rules, should not be addressed until 1998, were heard. Hopefully, the board can now turn its attention to the remaining critical fishery issues at hand. Again, thank you for contacting me. I hope that you will continue to take the time and make the effort to voice your opinions to your legislators and public officials -- it will be heard. I know that it is very important for me to hear from you on fisheries issues when I am in Juneau during the legislative session.

My office has received numerous letters and telephone calls in opposition to this proposal. Since proposal D, and others had been previously considered by the Board and resurrected under an agenda change, I was encouraged to hear that the Board voted to take no action on these measures. I was also pleasantly surprised to hear that the Board's Vice -Chair, Dan Coffey acknowledged the Board's error in bringing up proposals A, C, and D in violation of the Board's policy. As the Board of Fisheries continues the debate on conservation and allocation of fish in Cook Inlet, I will keep a watchful eye on the proceedings. Again, thank you for keeping me informed of your concerns in this area, and please stay in touch.
