Continued_ A local governing body as defined under AS 04.21.080(1 1) may protest the approval of an application pursuant to AS 04.1 1.480 by furnishing the board and the applicant with a clear and concise written statement of reasons in support of a protest within 60 days of receipt of this notice. If a protest is filed, the board will not approve the application unless it finds that the protest is "arbitrary, capricious and unreasonable". Instead, in accordance with AS 04.1 1.510(b), the board will notify the applicant that the application is denied for reasons stated in the protest. The applicant is entitled to an informal conference with either the director or the board and, if not satisfied by the informal conference, is entitled to a formal hearing in accordance with AS 44.62.630. If the applicant requests a hearing, the municipality must come forward at the hearing with evidence and argument in support of your protest. AS O4.1 1.480. Protest, subsection (a) states, in part, "A local governing body may protest the issuance, renewal, relocation, or transfer to another person of a license by sending the board and the applicant a protest and the reasons for the protest within 60 days of receipt from the board of notice of filing of the application. A protest received after the 60-day period may not be accepted by the board, and in no event may a protest cause the board to reconsider an approved renewal, relocation, or transfer. The local governing body may protest the continued operation of a license during the second year of the biennial license period by sending the board and the licensee a protest and the reasons for the protest by January 31 of the second year of the license period. The procedures for action on a protest of continued operation of a license are the same as the procedures for action on a protest of a renewal application." Additionally, 15 AAC 104.145(b) through (g) reads as follows: (b) No final action will be taken upon an application until at least 30 days after the receipt of notice by the local governing body unless it advises the director in writing that it is waiving its right to protest the application. No final action may be taken upon an application until at least 15 days after completion of public notice of the application. (c) (To be repealed.) (d) A local governing body protest will generally be considered not to be arbitrary, capricious, or unreasonable where (1) the protest is made under an ordinance, resolution, or statement of policy adopted by the governing body before it considered the application, or the applicant otherwise had reasonable notice, before making application, of the factors to be considered and the standards applied by the local governing body; (2) the applicant was provided a reasonable opportunity to defend the application before a meeting of the local governing body; and (3) the protest has a reasonable basis in fact and is not contrary to law. (e) A local governing body protest may be based upon facts that render the particular application objectionable to the local body, or may be based upon a general public policy. If based on a general public policy, the policy must have a reasonable basis in fact, may not be contrary to law, and may not be patently inapplicable to the particular application being protested. The board will not substitute its judgement for that of the local governing body on matters of public policy that have reasonable factual support. (f) If the application is denied because of the protest and the applicant requests a hearing, the local governing body must, at the board's request, appear or otherwise meaningfully participate in the hearing and must assist in or undertake the defense of its protest. (g) In addition to the other grounds for protest set out in this section, a local governing body may protest D- 41- CITY OF KENAI KENAI SENIOR SERVICES �—`— - — — 361 SENIOR COURT KENAI, ALASKA 99611 (907) 233-4156 COUNCIL ON AGING APPLICATION NAME MAILING ADDRESS'KQw't i RESIDENCE ADDRESS 4 VIA L U`K v PHONE r%'7 NAME OF SPOUSE CURRENT MEMBERSHIP IN ORGANIZATIONS: MY CURRENT INVOLVEMENT AT THE CENTER: } WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO OFFER ASSISTANCE IN VOLUNTEER ACTIVITIES AT THE CENTER?

Car Rental Proposal Thibodeau advised he was at the Council meeting last night and that he would bring the group up to date. Thibodeau advised he had tried to get a hold of the individual, Mike Routt, and did not have any luck. Thibodeau stated today he called Payless and they put him through to their main office in St. Augustine, Florida, and talked to someone who was familiar with the situation. Thibodeau stated the head of the Alaska division was there and she was interested in what was discussed at council. Thibodeau noted that she knew all about that and knew about the Airport Commission's recommendation to reduce spaces to three. Thibodeau stated Payless wanted to let the Airport Commission know that they hope to have someone else here and that they were in serious negotiations with someone in the area to take over the Payless franchise. Thibodeau stated they wanted it known that they were against any reductions of car rental agencies at the airport. Thibodeau stated he asked and was informed they were in discussions with Kenai Chrysler. Thibodeau stated they had thought someone would be at the council meeting last night who would make sure that it wouldn't be reduced to three. She stated they wanted to hold onto the space that they had now and that it could be transferred to the new franchise. Thibodeau stated they said they would contact Routt and have him transfer the space to Kenai Chrysler. Thibodeau noted that at the Commission's last meeting they proposed to reduce the spaces to three. Thibodeau stated that it was discussed at the council meeting. Council was brought up-to-date on the Commission's thoughts. Thibodeau stated that council was informed that there were two vacant spaces with people who were interested in renting them so the city wouldn't lose any money on them. Thibodeau stated it was brought up to rent to those two people or to bring Avis in and see if they were interested in joining the other two agencies in dividing the space up from five to three. Thibodeau noted that Councilman Joe Moore spoke up and felt he should bow out because he works for Obendorf, Tutor and Lambe and may have a conflict. Thibodeau stated there was a lot of discussion amongst the council and it was decided he could discuss it but may decide later not to vote on it. Thibodeau noted that Councilman Bannock was very vocal and stated he didn't believe there should be a policy set to reduce the number of agencies. Thibodeau stated they were saying they wouldn't mind reducing the number of spaces from five to three as long as they didn't have to set a policy that there be only three agencies allowed. Thibodeau stated this would mean that if someone came along in the future, they would have to use one of the other vacant spaces at the airport, possibly one of the airport booths or the glass booth. Thibodeau noted that every five years the rental spaces come up for bid. Thibodeau stated he felt that process is unclear and that they may want to discuss the process in the future. Thibodeau noted that there is every chance that one of the current renters may not maintain their lease when the space is rebid. Thibodeau noted that council did give the Commission permission to meet with the rental agencies and discuss what they want to do in dividing up the space. Thibodeau noted he had spoken to Avis, Gary Zimmerman, who is interested in splitting the five spaces into three spaces. Thibodeau noted that he understands that will change his rental fees and share in the cost of the renovation. Thibodeau noted that the other agencies have already noted their interest. Thibodeau asked for discussion and noted they could discuss this item further tonight or set up a meeting for another time. Thibodeau noted that Zimmerman had stated he would be available anytime; however, he was not available tonight. Airport Commission January 9, 1997 Page 2 Minutes Knackstedt clarified that they wanted to divide the space evenly. Thibodeau stated that is what Zimmerman had wanted. Knackstedt asked Van Zee if that worked out for him. Van Zee noted that it would be about 16 feet each which would actually give everyone about twice as much counter space. Van Zee stated he needs a space at the counter for a sign for Gold Key Service counter space, to provide two lanes for customers. Koerber asked what Zimmerman's attitude was and if he seemed enthused. Thibodeau stated he had told Zimmerman the Commission wanted to know what his thoughts were and if he wanted to participate and the various options, including different size counters. Thibodeau noted that the Commission wanted to give Avis the opportunity to participate and Zimmerman stated they would like more space. Thibodeau stated he had said he would be interested in doing it and sharing the costs. Thibodeau stated that if it is broken into three spots that they will have to invest some money and Zimmerman noted his concern about the time left on the leases. Thibodeau commented that perhaps they could start the leases again at a five year period. Thibodeau stated he thought Ernst had mentioned this idea adding that he thought all of the leases have at least two and a half years left on them. Edwards stated her concern is that Payless has the space and they are not willing to give it up and nothing can be done until they are gone. Thibodeau noted that none of this will happen until then or if Payless gets the space back before then. Edwards clarified that their lease is not up until June. Edwards asked if someone takes over the space if they take over the debt that Routt left. Thibodeau noted the debt is Routt's. Thibodeau stated he felt Payless has some responsibility for the debt and had mentioned it to Payless. Thibodeau stated Payless wasn't interested in that. Thibodeau stated he didn't feel he would be interested in having Payless in there unless the debts were paid. Thibodeau noted that Payless is not bound legally to be responsible for the debts. Hudson asked if it was unrealistic to have mobile walls for future reorganizations. Hudson commented that the walls are not there for sound. Van Zee stated they are sound barriers and Keith Holland noted that is why they were put up. Thibodeau asked Councilman Measles if he had additional thoughts. None noted. Koerber noted her interest at the Council meeting when Mr. Moore abstained because of conflict of interest it seemed that with Chrysler that there would be a conflict of interest with Mr. Bannock. Koerber noted Mr. Bannock had been very vocal. Thibodeau stated that for those who were not aware that Mr. Bannock is the second in command of Alaska Chrysler. Thibodeau noted that it was Mr. Moore's choice to bring up his conflict and that Mr. Bannock must have viewed his position differently. Holloway commented that Mr. Bannock may not be aware of Airport Commission January 9, 1997 Page 3 Minutes Chryslers involvement. Knackstedt asked if they voted on anything and it was noted it was just a discussion. Thibodeau stated he felt it was the Commission's job to get together with the agencies and to come back with a proposal to council. Koerber asked if it was possible to get a hold of Mr. Zimmerman to see when he could meet with the commission. Thibodeau stated he could call him tomorrow and stated that he would be available when the Commission wanted to meet. Thibodeau noted that Zimmerman's points were that he wanted to participate, he would be willing to pay for it, and he would like to see the lease redone. Holloway asked how Koerber and Van Zee felt about starting over with the lease. Both agreed five years would be the minimum time with the investment they will be required to make. Keith Holland noted that legal department would have to be contacted to see if the leases could be started over. Thibodeau stated they would do that and present the information to the council. Van Zee noted that they are talking about dividing up the space which is a lot more expense than what was originally talked about which was just taking out two partition walls. Van Zee stated if they plan to completely remodel, perhaps some costs should be born by the city. Measles asked if there is any electrical or phone wiring in the walls. Van Zee stated no. Van Zee commented his fears are that it is a city project at the airport. Van Zee stated they would be talking about tearing out all the cabinetry, etc. Van Zee stated he had sat down and tried to figure out how it could be done without changing the cabinetry and it could be done by filling in some blanks. Van Zee stated it would leave one space with the entry in the middle rather than on the end. Holland asked if the wall wrapped all the way around the out side which means the cabinet is an intricate part of the wall. Van Zee stated he felt that could be dealt with panels going in to match the existing. Van Zee noted that if that kind of remodeling is going to be acceptable to the city, they will be taking out four partition walls and moving or rebuilding two walls. Van Zee stated he would personally like to see the city participate with that expense by doing the countertops and front area and the tenants remodeling the rear. Thibodeau asked if this would have to be done through a bid process. Measles stated it would depend on costs. Holland noted that anything over $10,000 would require an RFP. Airport Commission January 9, 1997 Page 4 Minutes Measles stated he felt trying to reduce from five to three equal spaces would be a major project involving redoing all of the work the city just did. Plus moving the back walls. Holland noted that electrical would have to be moved. Van Zee stated they have limited electrical outlets. Van Zee reiterated that if they are talking about complete remodeling that is much more than their initial proposal which was to remove the partitions. Measles advised Holland to have La Shot (city engineer) look at this and see what it would require. Measles noted these things always turn out to be a lot more than is usually thought at the beginning. Discussion about what the remodeling may entail. Thibodeau asked if it was felt that they could get an idea from La Shot about what they may be up against and then have a meeting with the agencies and see who wants to participate. Koerber stated that she felt that they had just gone through a discussion on how the airport cannot sustain more than three agencies and that the initial proposal was to remove partitions. Koerber noted they are talking about much more extensive work now. Thibodeau noted that they had contacted Avis and they were interested. Koerber felt they may want to regroup and look at costs and options. Measles commented that he felt all three agencies need to know what costs they are looking at from the beginning and whether they will have to bear the total costs or if the city will bear part of the cost. Knackstedt stated he felt they should get an idea of what costs may be for both concepts. Koerber drew a sketch of what she had visualized which wouldn't require much remodeling. Agreement that Koerber's idea would be inexpensive. Koerber noted that it could be changed back later and that it would be easy to do. Koerber suggested again that they fall back and get information on costs. Kebschull advised that La Shot is fairly busy and may not be able to provide information on costs in a short time span. Holland recommended that they ask a contractor for costs. Suggestion from the group that Van Zee contact a contractor for bid. Van Zee stated he would need to know which direction they were headed. Thibodeau stated that they had contacted Avis and with their interest they would need an estimate of what it would cost to make three equal spaces. Thibodeau stated that there was a suggestion today that they just rent the spaces as they were adding the suggestion was made by a council person. Thibodeau stated that is what the council would like to do this. Thibodeau noted this would be the easiest route, just to pick up the leases. Van Zee asked where this would leave Avis. Koerber stated that was their original idea. Koerber also noted that if they did that they could always make their walkway between her space and Van Airport Commission January 9, 1997 Page 5 Minutes Zee's space. Koerber noted they could replace it if they left. Holland noted they are allowed to do that within the scope of their lease. Measles noted that they may have to bid the spaces again to allow all three agencies the opportunity to bid for them. Van Zee noted his original request was to lease the space. Thibodeau reiterated he felt that they need to bring Avis into this and plan a work session. Kebschull supplied a list of available dates for the council chambers. Decision to hold work session next Tuesday, the 14t' at 7 p.m. b. Restaurant RFP Thibodeau reported that Don Middleton was the high bidder for the restaurant at $810. The only other bid was from the current occupant at $500. Thibodeau stated he plans to open a soup and sandwich shop and that he plans to be open more hours. Thibodeau noted that council will be reviewing the bid at their next meeting. Holland noted that Middleton plans to name the business "Quimby's" (?sp) with an aviation theme. Holland noted that Quimby was the last name of the first registered woman pilot. Holland added that he wants to get big in the espresso type stuff. Thibodeau asked for time frame. Holland stated he wanted to stay open on weekends and later at night. Holland noted that he cannot occupy the space until March 15L. Holland was asked if he was local and explained that he has a Cooper Landing address but a residence in Soldotna. 6. New Business 7. Airport Manager's Report Holland drew attention to handout and noting there were $1 1 1,1 1 1 enplanements last year. Holland noted Southcentral had 14% of the market share and Era had 86%. Holland noted that on the back were the pay parking revenues and permit parking revenues. Holland noted a new category has been added is for the advertising revenues. Holland asked if the rotating beacon was operating. Holland noted that it is working but doesn't like the cold and they have ordered a heater for it. Bielefeld Airport Commission January 9, 1997 Page 6 Minutes asked why it had changed. Holland noted it is new with bearings and it has been too cold for it. Bielefeld asked about gates at Kenai Air. Holland noted parts were on order and they should be back in service soon. Holland noted they were special motors and they didn't have spares but would be getting spares. Holloway asked about the moose population. Holland advised they had done a moose round up recently. Holloway asked about the coyote population and Holland noted there were a few out there. Holland noted that Ernst will be back on the 201h 8. Commission Comments and Questions 8. Persons Present Not Scheduled To Be Heard 9. Information Items a. City Council Agenda (12/18/96) b.

She reported that the Christmas party went well. 6. FRIENDS REPORT Commissioner Heus stated that the Friends the met yesterday. She reported that the membership tea will be held on February 16th from 1-4 p.m. The Friends changed their Library Commission January 7, 1997 Page 1 membership fee structure by adding a $25 family category. The Friends meeting minutes will be available at the library for anyone interested in reading them. The Friends Board decided that the Board will select Board members. The Friends raffle was discussed again and it appears there will be another raffle to be discussed further at the next meeting. The Friends now have their own gaming permit. The last raffle cost the Friends about $5,000 and they brought in about $13,000. The Friends will also participate in the village fair with a booth on February 8th. A nomination committee has been selected and officers will be nominated at the next Friends meeting. 7. OLD BUSINESS Internet Expert Committee - Commissioner Brenckle stated that she has not had much time to work on this yet. Internet Policy - DeForest passed out a proposed internet use policy to the Commission to review. Commissioner Peters felt it was well thought out. DeForest felt it was loosely written and could be tightened up as future needs arise. Commissioner Forbes MOVED to accept the policy as written. Commissioner Brenckle SECONDED the motion. Commissioner Heus suggested that there should be a date somewhere on the policy. DeForest stated that the date would be added once the policy was approved. The policy was accepted by unanimous vote. February Meeting With Council - Commissioner Peters felt that the Commission should come up with a position on how they would approach Council. He stated that he had been approached by several people after the newspaper article appeared. Councilman Moore stated that he also had been approached by several business owners with a negative response on the tax issue. Commissioner Peters did not feel the sales tax suggestion would pass. Commissioner Heus suggested that there are organizations that provide matching funds, if there were a building fund set up, it is another possible source of funding for the addition. Commissioner O'Reilly felt the library needs to be a part of the total solution and needs to work with the Council on financing. He suggested approaching Council with reappraising the space recommendations, but with the expectations that Council would need to give full support to some plan for the library expansion needs. Commissioner Heus stated she would like to know the Council's thoughts. She felt that if the Friends started a building fund, how would the Commission and the Council respond? Library Commission January 7, 1997 Page 2 Commissioner Brenckle felt that would be a good approach to obtain community support and get the support of Council as the fund builds up. Commissioner Peters suggested either the Commission or a committee discuss further items to bring up to Council when they meet next with the Commission in February. Commissioner Heus felt that the Library Commission needs to strongly state to the Council that even though the bond issue was voted down, the need to expand is still there and has not changed. Commissioner Brenckle felt the Commission should sit down and brainstorm additional funding alternatives. DeForest stated that the city is supposed to do an ADA inspection of the library and she was hoping to have it done before the joint meeting, but wasn't sure it would happen. Commissioner Brenckle suggested that the Commission meet with the Friends the night before the scheduled joint meeting. Commissioner Heus felt it might be better for the Friends and Commission to remain separate. Commissioner Forbes felt it would be helpful to the Council to have a list of questions from the Commission to the Council. Councilman Moore gave a list of projects that would be in competition for funds from the budget, including the Challenger Learning Center, the animal control issue, the fire training center, the water quality program and the health center issue. Commissioner Heus suggested having an outside consultant do a report on the library expansion needs. Commissioner Peters suggested a meeting on the 21st as the expansion committee to come up with a list of questions for the Council. 8. NEW BUSINESS Review of Library Fines and Fees - DeForest passed out a copy of the proposed changes to the fines and fees policy. Commissioner Brown MOVED to approve the changes as written. Commissioner O'Reilly SECONDED the motion. Commissioner Brenckle MOVED to amend the motion to raise the out of print Alaskana fees to $75. Commissioner O'Reilly SECONDED the amendment. Commissioner Heus stated that she would not support the amendment. Commissioner O'Reilly called a question on the amendment. The commission voted and the amendment was defeated. Library Commission January 7, 1997 Page 3 A vote was taken on the original motion and was favorably passed. 9. COMMISSIONER COMMENTS/QUESTIONS 10. ADJOURNMENT Commissioner Heus MOVED to adjourn.

Bryson reported the following: Consent agenda approved without change. Item E, Drew Scalzi from the assembly had a presentation concerning sand gravel and materials site which had recently been adopted by assembly. As the use of the ordinance has progressed, Bryson noted they have identified weak aspects of the ordinance. Bryson noted that Scalzi has proposed, as an individual, a number of modifications to the ordinance. Bryson noted he has a copy of the draft that will be progressing as a modification to the ordinance. Under F, the borough is in process of establishing regulations for subdivision waste water disposal. Bryson noted that the borough is in the process of enforcing water and sewer requirements for subdivision plats prior to final approval of the plat. Bryson stated they have come up with final draft and a work session will be held on January 13`h. Nord asked where the work session would be held and Bryson advised most likely in the assembly chambers. Item G, was a public hearing on the City of Kenai Comprehensive Plan. Bryson noted the Plan was made available to the public and a motion to recommend approval to the assembly. Item H, Vacations, the first four approved. Number five returned to petitioner.

ADJOURNMENT: Meeting adjourned at approximately 7:18 p.m. ResVT tfully ubmitted: M rilyri Kebschull Administrative Assistant ITEM A: KENAI CITY COUNCIL - REGULAR MEETING JANUARY 8, 1997 7:00 P.M. KENAI CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS http://www.kenai.net/city MAYOR JOHN J. WILLIAMS, PRESIDING CALL TO ORDER Mayor Williams called the meeting to order at approximately 7:02 p.m. in the Council Chambers in the Kenai City Hall Building. A-1. 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: Williams, Bookey, Swarner, Moore, Measles, Bannock and Smalley. A-3.

CONSENT AGENDA Mayor Williams introduced a letter to from Commissioner Perkins of DOT establishing the state's position on the ARFF training center. He felt it would benefit the City in their negotiations process. MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED for approval of the amended consent KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 8, 1997 PAGE 2 OF 16 agenda and Councilman Bookey SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. ITEM B: SCHEDULED PUBLIC COMMENT B-1. Sharon Anderson, Division Vice President of Columbia Health Network. Columbia Health Network's involvement with Central Peninsula General Hospital. Sharon Anderson - Introduced herself and provided an overview of Columbia Health Network. AT EASE 7:07 to watch presentation. READJOURN 7:45. B-2. Leo Grasso. Assisted Living Facility Funding. Leo Grasso - Introduced himself and asked for questions from Council. Smalley asked if Kenai would be in a position of cosigner on the bonds. Grasso responded, "No. Absolutely not. There is no obligation whatsoever monetarily to the City Council at all." Grasso stated that his organization would be liable for the bonds, even in the event of a default. Attorney Graves said he consulted with the City's bond counsel, Tom Klinkner, who said there were circumstances where the City could be responsible for the bonds. He stated that if the organization was not structured to meet the IRS code at the time the bonds were issued, and the organization is not tax exempt, then the City could be liable, since the City represented to the bondholders that the organization was tax exempt. Moore asked why they were hampered by lack of support by FHA and Alaska Housing. Grasso responded that they have had private financing and that they submitted a preliminary report to HUD and were denied a hearing. HUD had several concerns, one of them the Homer project not being filled and being currently in foreclosure. HUD also wanted to redesign the project and is more than willing to take "our money" but they won't approve "our project." He stated Alaska Housing feels the same way, and also has concerns about the facility in Homer. Swarner asked who is responsible for the bonds. Grasso responded KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 8, 1997 PAGE 3 OF 16 that Progressive Capital felt the City wasn't responsible. He stated he was unaware of the problem brought up by the City attorney. He stated that to his knowledge his firm was responsible for getting the letters of credit and collateral. He stated that Continuum Corp. would be responsible for the bonds. Swarner asked what would happen if the corporation declared bankruptcy. Grasso responded that they have to put up collateral and letters of credit, and Continuum Corporation would be the ones to lose. Bookey asked if they have available financing why don't they just go with private funding. Grasso responded that they can't get market rates and make the project feasible. The cost would be so high for the residents that they couldn't afford it. He stated that even approaching HUD on a political level it was very difficult to get funds out of them. Moore asked if Continuum Corporation is a qualified organization to receive tax exempt bonds. Graves responded that Klinkner's response was that his role would be to represent the City and he would not make representation that Continuum Corporation was organized to qualify as tax exempt. He would have to rely on Continuum Corp's counsel to make that representation. Graves said Klinkner indicated that the City's only security would be to hold sufficient collateral guarantees. Bookey asked if Klinkner was Grasso's bond counsel. Grasso responded that they just consulted with him for advise. Swarner asked what the City Manager thought. Ross responded that he did not think they had addressed conduit financing in the past. At best they were hoping of a bond rate of A. That is lower than GO bonds. He stated that the bonds are a lesser grade than the City would issue themselves. On the face of it the City of Kenai has put their reputation on the bonds. He asked if the Council members would buy the bonds individually, and if not, then maybe the City shouldn't either. If the Council decides to continue with the process, there will still be quite a bit of work to be done by Continuum Corp. and the administration. Mayor Williams felt the reason the Continuum Corp was before the Council was due to the cost of money. He felt that they have shown that they can get market money. He stated that HUD and the federal government are trying to get out of the housing business. He felt Continuum Corp is trying to take on some of that responsibility. He felt it needs to be looked at on the basis of KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 8, 1997 PAGE 4 OF 16 economic development and felt it could be a successful project. He was not entirely satisfied with either sides' explanation of conduit financing. He urged Council to give it some consideration and felt it worth spending a little money and time to investigate it further. Smalley asked how much it would cost to investigate the issue. Graves stated that they already consulted with Klinkner and did not think there would be a different opinion if we asked again. He did not know how much it would cost but probably a few thousand dollars to get a formal written opinion. Measles asked if there is a way to determine that the Corporation is organized properly under the IRS code as tax exempt. Graves said he asked Klinkner that; and Klinkner answered that he would rely on the Continuum Corp's bond lawyers opinion and the only security the City would have would be the Continuum Corp's financial guarantees. Bannock asked who would be the one to verify tax exempt status -- if it wasn't the City, the bond counsel, or the bank. Graves responded that the window of liability is only if they are out of compliance at issuance. If they are in compliance at issuance and later become out of compliance, then the City is not on the hook. Bannock asked if there is another organization that makes that determination of compliance other than the bond counsel. Graves responded that he did not feel the IRS would write us a letter informing us that they were in compliance. He felt they would make the determination later on if they were out of compliance. Bannock asked if Klinkner were given a fee to issue a letter stating that they were in compliance would that get the City off the hook. Graves responded that Klinkner stated that was not his (Klinkner's) role to issue that opinion and he would rely on the Continuum Corp's lawyers to structure his opinion. Swarner asked if Ross had a question since he had his hand up. Ross stated that he may have misunderstood the question and thought the question was about the cost of doing an exploration. He stated the cost not only involves the bond counsel cost, but Title 7 of our City ordinances. These would fall in place after the letter of credit. He felt that if the Council decided to pursue it, he suggested making a copy of that ordinance on the next agenda as a discussion item under old Business and give a copy to Mr. Grasso's group and let them see what they are going KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 8, 1997 PAGE 5 OF 16 to have to go through, since it can be quite a lengthy process. Mayor Williams stated that if Council needs to determine if it is worth $20-25,000 of the Council's money to study it. Smalley liked the City Manager's idea of having the Continuum Corp look at the City's Title 7 so they understand what the process is. P. Porter - Comments As a concerned citizen of Kenai, she encouraged the Council to explore the proposal presented by Continuum Corp. She said she did not understand the complex issue of bonding but felt it is important to locate a facility such as this within the community. Felt doing business with retirees is an excellent opportunity for the City and business community. Felt we must offer the whole spectrum of care to attract the older resident from independent living to assisted living. Encouraged the Council to explore the avenues available to complete the levels of care needed to assure elders they can remain in our community. Mayor Williams urged the Council to continue to look at the concerns of senior housing as the problem is only going to get worse as the population ages. Grasso thanked the Council for taking the time to look at their proposal and felt that the Council has been fair and is aware of the Council's concerns. He does not want the City to be responsible and would like to start on the project as soon as possible. Joanna Hollier - Comments Felt it is important to have this type of facility in Kenai. She was concerned about seniors having to leave the area to receive extended care. She reported that two individuals have had to move from Vintage Point to other care facilities. She felt the assisted living complex is greatly needed and urged the City to support the project as much as possible. Mayor Williams asked if Council wished to explore the issue further. Smalley felt that a copy of Title 7 needs to go to Grasso and the Continuum Corporation. Swarner asked to have it continued as a discussion item. Graves KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 8, 1997 PAGE 6 OF 16 stated that the information would need to be looked at by the financial advisors of Continuum. Grasso agreed that the February 5th meeting would give enough time. Bookey asked if it would include a business plan. Ross stated that it would be just a review and a chance for Continuum Corp to respond to the requirements of the City's code. ITEM C: PUBLIC HEARINGS C-1.

Approved by consent agenda. H-5. Discussion - Airport Commission Recommendation for Rental Car Spaces at Airport. Moore reported that he has a client who is currently a lessee at the airport. Mayor Williams read from a memorandum to the City Manager that the Airport Commission voted to recommend to Council at their December 12 meeting that car rental spaces at the airport be reduced from five spaces to three. The Commission noted that two of the remaining three agencies expressed an interest in the remaining space. Airport Commission asked that they be allowed to meet with the remaining leasees to discuss how to redistribute the remaining rental car spaces. Tom Thibodeau - Reported that the Airport Commission has noticed that in the last few years there have been numerous turnarounds in leasees of the car rental spaces. There are currently three leasees who pay on a square footage basis and 10% of sales, which averages out to about $2,000 per year for square foot rental space. The commission felt that there wasn't any difference whether there were three agencies or five agencies, there will only be so many cars rented per flight. They felt with three companies there is still competition. Hertz and Budget have approached the commission about renting the additional two spaces. This would leave Avis in the middle with a small space, which could be acceptable. They would like permission from Council to meet with all three agencies to determine if they KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 8, 1997 PAGE 10 OF 16 would like to convert the space into three equal spaces. Hertz and Budget have offered to pay the expenses to expand the two remaining spaces. Mayor Williams reported that Moore's conflict is not such that he should be precluded from discussions and asked for questions from Council. Bannock was concerned that the Commission was asking not only to change the physical aspect of the spaces but to make a rule that there would only be three agencies. Thibodeau felt there were spaces that have remained vacant for periods of time and that if there were only three spaces they would remain filled. He did not ask for a hard and fast rule, but felt that when expansion was discussed in the future the number of car rental agencies could be addressed again at that time. He felt another one could come in at a later date by guaranteeing a higher amount of sales per year and guaranteeing money to the City. Bannock felt that was the problem he had. He reported that at one time there were four airlines. Today there are only two airlines and three counters. He asked if two more airlines approached the Council would they then be turned down. He did not have a problem with the agencies modifying the available space that is there now, but would have a problem with Council taking a position of determining how many would be allowed to be there. He did not feel Council should be making marketing decisions. Graves noted that there are other rental car agencies available outside of the airport area. Thibodeau did not feel that they would be limiting availability to rent cars since anyone can rent space outside of the airport. Bannock was concerned that no agencies be turned away by policy because the decision was made to only allow three. Thibodeau felt that the space would all be utilized and the City would be getting more square footage rent by allowing the remaining agencies to occupy the existing available space. Bookey did not support the idea of limiting the number of agencies either. He felt if they were viable they would be there; if not, they won't. This year they may only support three but next year it could be four and did not want to limit ourselves. Thibodeau responded that the ability is still there, but felt this would make use of what is currently there. He felt they are trying to avoid what happened last year. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 8, 1997 PAGE 11 OF 16 Mayor Williams reported that the administration will in all probability be involved in making claims to the bankruptcy court. He felt there might be more information the Council might want before making a final decision. Ross stated that it is a question of whether to allow the three vendors to take up tn:e existing space, realizing the revenue to the City is no different whether you have five or three. Without making a policy statement, do they have a legitimate need to reallocate the space? Swarner stated that the rent would increase by reallocating the existing two empty spaces. She asked if there was anyone else interested in the empty spaces. Thibodeau responded that the current square footage rents bring in about $2000 per gear. If the square footage were increased the rents would increase to about $3500 if it were divided into three. Swarner felt that as long as the space is available and the agencies were willing to rent the space there should be no problem. Bannock was concerned that the policy would be set architecturally by remanufacturing the counter space to three. He asked "If Joe's Car Rental comes to the City of Kenai and says I'd like to rent cars in Kenai, what would be the administration's position there?" Mayor Williams responded that it would probably be the same if there were five spaces and a sixth one came in looking to rent space. He stated that there is other space available. He stated he would not be in favor of setting a policy saying there would only be three in the airport. But he felt the airport commission had justified that the present vendors want the space and are willing to pay for it. They would like to deal with the vendors and come back with a plan for the reallocation of space. Bannock stated that :.as fine, as long as it was made clear that if another car rental agency showed up they would not be turned away because there are now three there. Swarner asked if the car rental agencies would pay for the renovation costs. Thibodeau stated that the two agencies that have expressed an interest in the spaces have also indicated that KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 8, 1997 PAGE 12 OF 16 they would cover the costs. It could only be a matter of removing an existing wall, leaving Avis in the center. If Avis is also included, then that would change the cost and the structure a little bit. Bannock felt it should be referred back to the airport commission to bring back a plan that they would like to see. Graves stated that the airport commission is seeking permission to discuss this with the agencies and it is appropriate for the commission to bring it back to Council once they have that information. Mayor Williams advised Thibodeau based on the consensus of the Council to go ahead and have the discussions with the agencies and to bring back the reports. EXECUTIVE SESSION ITEM I: ADMINISTRATION REPORTS Mayor Reported he will be going to Anchorage tomorrow to discuss FAA fire fighting school. He submitted a letter received from Joe Perkins written at the governor indicating their support for the project. I-2. City Manager No report except the holiday party is Saturday night. He told Council that a purchase order had crossed his desk to purchase liquor for the party, and he wanted to confirm that Council in fact wanted to provide liquor for the employees. Response was yes. I-3. Attorney No report. I-4. City Clerk No report. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 8, 1997 PAGE 13 OF 16 I-5. Finance Director No report. I-6. Public Works Director Wellhouse Project: Kornelis received a phone call from DOT Planning inviting the cities to a meeting on January 16 at the Kenai Peninsula Borough Meeting Room C to discuss the program. Contacted the DOT about the flashing lights at Main Street and Spur Highway. The Dunes project has hauled 68 of the concrete piles. Fish and Game showed the contractor and City where to place the piles. The road is now lined with the piles. There are still 9 broken tiles at Dragnet these will be hauled over to the boating facility. Contractor is now working on the stairs and boardwalks. Wellhouse #3 ran for about 20 hours last month. About the 21st it shut itself down. There were some electrical problems. Wellhouse is now up. There are still some problems, but it is now running. Mayor Williams asked about the road project around the church yard. Kornelis responded that the final plat has been recorded. The water and sewer work is being done. There will be a public hearing soon with Planning and Zoning, Historic board, and the property owners so they can look at the drawings and where the lights, curbs, driveways and such will be located. They will be inviting the DOT. The end of this month for having the public hearing. Mayor Williams stated the turnaround at the end of the beach project is not acceptable. It needs to be changed in order to work. Kornelis agreed 100$. The Fish and Game people are the ones who laid out the turnaround. Mayor Williams felt the circumference needs to be enlarged because even a small pickup cannot turn around as it is now. Kornelis stated he could ask them to come back down and walk around it again. I-7. Airport Manager No report. ITEM J: DISCUSSION KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 8, 1997 PAGE 14 OF 16 J-1. Citizens Assemblyman Popp mentioned that on Monday, February 5 the Borough Assembly will be having an all day work session in the Assembly Chambers regarding the hospital issue. It is the stated goal to have this issue resolved by March. He urged all Council members to attend and get in their input. He also mentioned the personal property tax issue that has been proposed will be coming up for public hearing. They expect that to take some time to resolve. Mayor Williams asked if the property tax issue involves the changing of licensing fees on automobiles. Popp responded that was correct. Mayor Williams stated that he was not in favor of the ordinance as it is now written or the direction it is going. Assemblyman Popp responded that there is general agreement that this is not going to be the final product. It is strictly an opening ordinance. He also did not feel it is the right move and felt that something substantially different will come out in the end. Mayor Williams asked if the assembly discussed in any manner the issue of the removal of junk cars. Assemblyman Popp responded that this has not been dealt with at this point. Mayor Williams responded that even the state recognized the need for the removal of abandoned vehicles. Even though there was no money brought forth. Assemblyman Popp stated he would bring these concerns to the Assembly. Bannock stated that not only is the borough looking at raising the vehicle registration tax, but it is being done to offset another tax. He felt that since it is virtually the same state- wide, if there was a need for it to be increased, it would be increased state-wide. Assemblyman Popp stated the intent was to deal with an issue in the courts where there is a general flight of commercial boats out of Seldovia, Seward, Kodiak, Homer harbors based on the taxation level under the personal property tax code. We are in the upper two percent of the statewide property tax level on boats. When those boats leave our harbors, they take jobs with them and they don't bring the fish into our ports to be processed in the canneries. That was one of the intents of this legislation. He would take these concerns back to the other Assembly members. Bannock stated that certainly deserved merit, but didn't feel it KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 8, 1997 PAGE 15 OF 16 fair to punish the people who own cars, but don't own boats. Mayor Williams stated the thought was with the junk cars that there could be a flat tax added to the registration of every vehicle that could be pooled and then used to remove abandoned vehicles. Swarner asked if there was going to be any money for animal control. Assemblyman Popp responded that Assemblyman Navarre would respond to that issue. Assemblyman Navarre responded that if the City puts in the money to remove the junk cars, but its one of those things that if the City puts the money in, then the City is accepting the burden and will never receive any money from the state. He stated that it will be addressed. In response to Bannock's comments about the flat tax, he stated that in some instances the tax actually went down. There were some benefits of shifting then, but there were some people that got left out. The difference between the tax on a $100,000 home was unbalanced compared to $100,000 boat or airplane. He doesn't agree totally in the comparisons, but there are a lot of other issues, and they are trying to do a tax shift. Assemblyman Navarre also drove down to the beach and felt that there should maybe two turnarounds down there, but agreed that something needs to be done down there. He stated that at the last borough assembly meeting there was standing room only and the animal control issue was tabled indefinitely. He felt that at budget time there might be a one-time only fund to the cities, though it is in an early stage. He stated he would look at it before budget time and would try to pursue some avenues of compensation to the four cities. Navarre invited the Council members to attend the assembly meetings on the lst and 3rd Tuesdays to give their input. He felt the cities will be a big factor in the tax. Kathy Scott introduced herself and wanted to recognize the emergency service teams who responded to a small fire at the Salamantof Native Associations building. She was impressed with the training and efficiency of the team to secure the scene and react with a minimal amount of damage to the facility. Emily DeForest reminded everyone of the Friends of the Library Membership Tea on February 16th from 1-4 at the library. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 8, 1997 PAGE 16 OF 16 1-2. Council Bookey - none Swarner - none Moore - none Measles - none Bannock - none Smalley mentioned an article in the Anchorage paper about a private company that is in a project to design and build an ice facility in Anchorage. They want to build two additional facilities. He asked the City Manager to approach this company to see if they would be interested in doing something in the City of Kenai. Mayor Williams asked the City Manager to send a copy of the proposed plans to them. Mayor Williams asked everyone to look over the survey included in the packet on voters versus the opinion leaders.

Library fine structure has been the same for more than twenty-five years, while book prices have more than quadrupled. The library staff feels that fines and book rental fees should reflect a portion of the additional expense. Therefore the staff proposes the changes indicated relating to sections two and four of the Library Regulations. I have included a copy of the "Patron Responsibilities" sheet that is included with each new library identification card issued. The format suggested will enable the information be contained on one sheet. The library is also planning to raise "Rental" book fees to $.25 (Twenty-five) cents per week instead of $.10 (Ten). This fee is not part of Library Regulations.

BOX 112100 JUNEAU, ALASKA 9: PHONE: (907) 465• FAX: (907) 465-2946 ❑ 333 W. 4TH AVENUE, SUITE 220 ANCHORAGE, ALASKA 99501-2341 PHONE: (907) 269-4500 FAX: (907) 269-4520 RECEIVED AN - 9 199 1 ,F NjA1 CITY CLE, I am pleased to provide you with the City of Kenai's FY 97 Shared Fisheries Business Tax payment in the amount of $2,869.48. This payment must be used to help reduce the effect of fisheries business activities on your municipality, which may include the expenses of any municipal service. Please note that the Alaska Department of Revenue notified us in late November that they had made an error in determining the funding available this year for the Shared Fisheries Business Tax Program. Consequently, allocations to each fisheries management area are substantially less than the amount we indicated in September in the cover letter that accompanied the program application. The result is that your payment is about one-third less than you would have expected based on the earlier, incorrect program funding level provided by the Department of Revenue. Should you have any questions regarding this payment, please call Bill Rolfzen, Program Administrator, at 465-4733. Sincerely, Mike Irwin Commissioner 21-PlLH CITY OF KENAI J.,� q 210 FIDALGO AVE., SUITE 200 KENAI, ALASKA 99611-7794 TELEPHONE 907-283-7535 _ FAX 907-283-3014 kyrtyl AFWna�oaq IIII'� 1992 TO: Richard Ross, Cite Manager PAW - FROM: Robert J. Frates. Kenai Parks & Recreation Director(W DATE: January 10. 1997 RE: CONSIDERATION FOR ADOPTING A CEMETERY COMMITTEE At our last scheduled meetina on Thursday, January 10. 1997. the Kenai Parks & Recreation Commission discussed several issues concerning the Kenai Cemetery. One of the issues discussed was the possibility of forming a Cemetery Committee. Recognizing the importance of our local cemetery and certainly its historical significance, the Commission strongly encourages some consideration be given by City Council for adoption of this proposal. The issue of appointing seven (7) members and keeping interest and attendance at appropriate levels was also discussed. Parks & Recreation Commission Members feel that this would not create a problem given the attention and concerns that the cemetery already receives from individuals in .he community. l am reasonably confident that there ould also be significant interest expressed from our local church community as well. Furthermore, the structure of such committee would follow standard procedures set forth for other boards, commissions and committees as related to the Kenai Municipal Code.

DOT received word from SHIPO that they are not in favor of street lights on Mission Street. I was told that Federal Highways would only pay for the underground conduit, junction boxes, and maybe the pole bases. They will not pay for the poles or the fixtures. I talked to Rick and we suggest continuing with the street light design and bid whatever the Federal Highways will not fund as an additive alternate. _ Cuttina Trees for firewood. I have has some inquires about cutting trees on city property for use as firewood. In the past we have allowed people to use trees that are down and dead for personnel use only. Unless there is an objection we will continue with this policy. _ Well House No. 3. Well House number 3 is up and running now. You should be able to tell a difference in the color of our city water since we are primarily running on this new well. There are still some items on the punch list but the well is running. 1791- 1991 CITY OF KENAI . 210 Fidalgo, Suite 200 4 �// , ' ` Kenai, Alaska 99611-7794 TLKLJJII (A f -�� Phone 907-233-7535 �" a Fa: 907-293-3014 FAX �— _ _ a TO o- 914 Date / / D 9 Number of Pages . „A AGENDA KENAI CITY COUNCIL - REGULAR MEETING JANUARY 15, 1997 7:00 P.M.
