MEMORANDUM
TO: Rick Ross, City Manager
Cary R. Graves, City Attorney
FROM: Carol L. Freas, City Clerk
Citv of Kenai
DATE: March 16. 1998
RE: GENE KEMPF REQUEST
This morning I received a telephone call from Gene Kempf who asked to be added to
the agenda for the March 18, 1998 council meeting, instead of the April 1 agenda.
His topic of conversation is regarding water/sewer billing for a speculation house he
built in Kenai which has not yet been sold.
I stated to Mr. Kempf that it is council's prerogative to decide whether or not to add
someone to the agenda, that usually it is allowed, and he should be at the meeting at
7:00 p.m. as he would speak shortly after the opening of the meeting.
I spoke with Can_- about the request. He informed me the city is in litigation with
Kempf in regard to his water/sewer billing and a Summary Judgment has been filed.
I telephoned Kempf back and stated I learned the matter is in litigation and council
may allow him to speak, but he should not expect them to offer any comments as they
won't due to the matter being in litigation.
Attached is a letter from Kempf which I will number and include as an addition to the
agenda. I will also inform council and Mayor Williams the matter is in litigation. If
you have questions, I will be available to discuss the matter with you.

Harbor Commission
March 9, 1998
Page 1
7. NEW BUSINESS
a. Renewal of Existing Boat Yard Lease/Snug Harbor Seafoods, Inc.
Dale reported his current boat yard lease with the City will expire this
summer and he would like to have it renewed. Dale also requested
additional yard space so that he may provide more parking in the
summer and boat storage in the winter. Dale indicated that a decision
to install a removable fence around the area will be postponed until the
amount of business was determined.
Discussion took place on the current $250.00 per month lease rate.
McCune stated the $250.00 rate was randomly chosen due to the time
constraints. Bookey reported the original figure was much lower as the
City Manager based it on appraised value using the same formula the
airport uses. The rate was subsequently increased to $250.00.
Bookey recommended the City Attorney be notified to determine whether
or not an RFP is required. Kornelis thought it could be handled with a
Special Use Permit as what is done at the airport for fuel.
Eldridge pointed out that promoting small businesses at the dock was
included on the agenda and according to the plat there wouldn't be any
room for that should Snug Harbor be given additional land.
Bookey didn't think it was appropriate to continue at the $250.00 rate
and that some type of bid or RFP process is required. McCune thought
the RFP process was waived before due to the time constraints. McCune
continued, a rate would have to be determined for the additional land. A
similar lease in Seward runs about 3.5 cents per square foot per month.
It does come with some tide lands as well and with that footage it brings
it to about 2 cents per square foot. For the City's piece of property the
rate would be about $600.00 per month at 2 cents per square foot.
Spracher asked if Snug Harbor would consider a two year lease. Dale
answered, a multi -year lease would be fine but may not be feasible at
this time based on other suggested uses for the property.
After a general group discussion it was determined that Kornelis and
Bookey will meet with the City Attorney to determine whether or not an
RFP process is required, whether a multi -year lease is allowed, to get a
decision on an appropriate method of determining the rate and a
determination on whether additional space is an option in the
agreement.
Harbor Commission

6. OLD BUSINESS
a. Corps of Engineers / Reconnaissance Report for Navigation
Improvements
Kornelis referenced his memo in the packet which requests that the
Corps of Engineering Reconnaissance Report for Navigation
Improvements be made inactive as very little is being accomplished at
this time and it doesn't appear that other funding is available from the
state and federal governments. If it appears funds are available at a
later date the issue can be made active again. After a brief discussion
the general consensus was to continue pursuing funds to keep the
Corps of Engineers interested.
ELDREDGE MOVED TO PLACE THE RECONNAISSANCE REPORT FOR
NAVIGATION IMPROVEMENTS INACTIVE AT THIS TIME BUT
ADMINISTRATION SHOULD CONTINUE TO PURSUE FUNDS.
MOTION WAS SECONDED BY MCCUNE.
VOICE VOTE: All in favor, motion passed unanimously.
b. Promoting Small Business at Dock
Eldridge suggested that some plats be made available in the dock area
so that the City could solicit interested businesses to lease them.
Bookey reported research was done in the past for that same purpose
but there were drastic restrictions that did not allow leasing any of the
land. Kornelis stated that BLM placed the restrictions on the City when
the land was purchased. The restrictions include not being able to sell
the land or leasing it to make a profit. Bookey added that all activities in
the area had to pertain to marine -type functions. Bookey continued, the
City should continue their efforts in having some of those restrictions
lifted. Kornelis stated the City could probably lease the land if the
proceeds were actually going to benefit marine activities.
After further discussion it was decided that Kornelis would review the
original BLM grant restrictions and will make an effort to have some of
the restrictions lifted. Bookey suggested the congressional delegation be
contacted to assist in having the property restrictions released. Kornelis
and Bookey will discuss this issue with the City Attorney.
It was also noted there are no utilities in the area and the cost of
incorporating them will far exceed any revenue the City could make from
the leases.
Harbor Commission

7. NEW BUSINESS
b. New/Update Goals and Objectives
The 1994 goals and objectives were included in the meeting packet and
it was noted they were not updated since 1994. The Commission
reviewed the goals and the following will summarize their decisions
and/or action.
Short-term Objectives
Item 1 is complete.
Item 2 is complete. Safety audits were performed by both the City and
OSHA. Bookey reported this item was placed into the preventative
maintenance plan and is performed on an annual basis.
Item 3 is partially complete. An oil spill contingency plan was complete.
Eldridge spoke with CISPRI and their Operations Manager will report
back as to what they can do with regard to assistance. Bookey indicated
that containment boom and clean up materials are on site. Kornelis
reported that additional boom was budgeted but never ordered. It was
determined this item will stay in as a short-term goal and will move up
on the priority list.
Item 4 is complete.
Item 5 is ongoing. Kornelis reported that other methods of reducing
siltation at the dock and boat ramps is being considered. The current
plan is to attempt to pump water on the ramp at a slow rate which
should help the situation. McCune reported he had a similar situation
and a small trickling of water does help. Various methods were
discussed and it was noted that proper permits should be obtained
before performing any work.
Long-term Objectives
Item 1 is partially complete and will be moved to the short-term goals
list.
Item 2 will remain a long term goal. It was noted that the problems of
the past have been diminished with the organization efforts made at the
dock but since there is still some congestion during the dip net season
the item will remain as a goal. It was noted the cost would probably
exceed $100,000.00.
Harbor Commission
March 9, 1998
Page 4
Item 3 will remain a long term goal and is ongoing.
Item 4 was discussed in detail and was going to be removed because of
the liability involved. After a lengthy discussion on the problems
encountered with boats getting stuck on the ramps and discussion on
other options it was decided the item would remain as a long term goal.
It was determined the following goals and objectives would be added:
New Short-term goals:
Kornelis recommended paving in and around the restrooms and the top
of the ramp to make a nice staging area for boats entering and leaving
the river. Thompson stated a drainage system would need to be
considered. Kornelis reported a paved staging area would be more
beneficial as eventually the gravel begins to smell, the paved area would
be easier to keep clean.
Bookey suggested that attempts to have some of these items paid for by
the State should be made as they will be taken to task on the dip net
fishery and the impact it has had on the City. Bookey continued, don't
look at general funds to finish these projects but attempt to get State
funding.
Thompson asked if there were other needs required for the dip net
fishery and whether or not the Harbor Commission should do more for
organizing and generating revenues. Bookey reported that
Administration is working with Fish and Game for signage, dumpsters
for fish disposal, and the City would take care of the slime line during
high water. Bookey also stated he would like to see a fee structure for
parking for the users of the dip net fishery but staff would be needed to
collect the fees. Kornelis stated the packet for Exxon Valdez funding just
came out and is due by April 15 and if awarded, funds for establishing
parking fees may be available.
After discussion it was determined a new short term goal would be to
develop road access and parking on the south side of the mouth of the
river to include sanitation facilities (toilets and dumpsters).
Another short term goal is to add parking at the end of South Spruce
and the beach. Kornelis indicated the Corps permit is in place and
everything is ready except for funding. The Exxon Valdez funding is
being considered and the cost of the project is approximately
$100,000.00.
Harbor Commission
March 9, 1998
Page 5
Bookey recommended consideration be given to a fee area for dip net
parking. Discussion took place on the need to keep the area
complimentary but at the same time generate revenue to support the
fishery. It was suggested that signage be made available explaining that
the money is being used to improve the areas.
Sanitation problems. Kornelis reported that Fish and Game is designing
two special dumpsters to be used for just fish waste. These will be
marked "For Fish Waste Only". Peninsula Sanitation will pick the
dumpsters up for a fee and deliver them to the Borough Landfill. The
Borough will waive the disposal fee. Fish and Game will post signs
explaining the waste regulations and it was noted they encourage
dumping waste in the river. Bookey stated it was the intent of the City
and Fish and Game to educate the users in utilizing the dumpsters for
fish waste. The financial impact will be closely monitored so that the
City can go back to the State in the future to ask for financial assistance
for the dip net fishery.
A very lengthy discussion took place on providing a fish -cleaning facility
and it was determined not to be feasible at this time.
New Long Term Goals
Continue to seek funding for the Corps of Engineers Reconnaissance
Report for Navigation Improvement and Erosion Control to include
feasibility studies and the actual work.
Enlarge the current parking lot.
Provide a combination of boardwalk and pathway from the dock pad to
the existing boardwalk at the bird watch area on Bridge Access Road to
include parking and viewing areas. A lengthy discussion took place on
this item and it was noted that funding can come from various sources
to include Exxon Valdez, Ducks Unlimited and the State. Ducks
Unlimited can also assist with building ponds for nesting.
Continue efforts to make the dock operations more profitable.
Provide water and sewer to facilities off Bridge Access Road.
It was decided the short and long-term goals would be listed and prioritized at
the next meeting.
Harbor Commission
March 9, 1998

8. COMMISSION COMMENTS & QUESTIONS
Discussion took place on the fish processor in Anchorage and the fact they
would probably need a facility to store fish here on the Peninsula. It was noted
the actual role has not yet been determined but it will be a very large operation.
McCune stated it was not decided whether or not they would go directly to the
fishers or through the processors for their fish. Dale reported there is a lot of
concern as a facility that size can adversely affect the fishery as a mega -project
wouldn't help the industry.
Councilman Bookey requested that more effort be made to fill the vacancies
on the Harbor Commission. Discussion took place on the residency
requirement and it was noted Commissioners must reside within the Kenai city
limits.
Commissioner Eldridge reported that he would not be able to attend the April
6 meeting. After discussion, the Commissioner's requested that Councilman
Bookey seek approval from Council to change the meeting date to Monday,
April 13, 1998.

DATE: March 11, 1998
RE: HARBOR COMMISSION MEETING - REQUEST TO CHANGE DATE
During their regular meeting of March 9, 1998, the Harbor Commission discussed
requesting Council to change the date of their next meeting. The change of date is
due to the lack of two members on the Commission and that one other member stated
he would not be able to attend the meeting on April 6.
Does Council have any objections to moving the next Harbor Commission
meeting from April 6 to April 13?

S. REPORTS
C. Director
DeForest provided members with a copy of the March calendar and a
flyer from Cook Inlet Book Company prior to the meeting.
The "Be a Pal" (Partners Assisting Libraries) program offered by Cook
Inlet Book Company provides a credit to a library that is mentioned
whenever an individual purchases material from them. The Kenai
Community Library received $10.30 last month. The Cook Inlet Book
Company provides mainly Alaskana materials and also has a great
classic paperback inventory.
The "Writer's Night" is scheduled for Thursday, March 5, 1998 at the
Kenai Visitors Center. Local writers will be present to read their
materials. The fee is $20.00 and half of the proceeds will be given to the
Library.
The tax assistants have been coming to the Library and will continue to
do so until April. There has been a good turnout with them taking two
people every half hour and their schedule has been full.
Mr. Biggs at the School District is writing a technology training grant
and has incorporated the information from the Kenai Community
Library. If the grant is awarded, part of the monies will go towards
training the Kenai Community Library staff to provide may facets of
computer instruction. The grant will pay for staff to attend the training
and will include temporary staff coverage. This program will not cost the
City anything. The home schoolers will benefit from the grant. It was
noted the district has approximately 300 home schoolers.
The library has new light fixtures in most areas.
Additional CD reference materials have been purchased. There is one
computer that is too slow for Internet use so it is being prepared to be
used as the CD server.
DeForest and Hall will attend the Alaska Library association conference
in Ketchikan on March 4, 1998.
March 5, 1998 is another full day for the universal service grant. The
final word is the second section can be filed 28 days after the first
Library Commission
March 3, 1998
Page 2
section is filed and approved. It was noted the grants are filed on the
Internet. It was also confirmed this grant is for the reduced phone
charges.
Approximately 30 children attended Dr. Suess' Birthday party at the
library. Virginia Walters and Hall coordinated the event and both read
stories. Cookies were also served.
Check out sessions for February totaled 3,698.
Rodes asked about the computer use for Internet access. DeForest
reported the computers are used quite extensively and individuals are
allowed one hour per day, once per day. There are five computers
available for public use.
b. Friends of the Library
Heus reported the Friends of the Library met on March 2, 1998. The at-
home tea membership drive was very successful and $2,200.00 has been
raised to date. An additional $620.00 was donated toward the building
fund. There is currently 87 members enrolled and this is the highest
number for any given year.
A letter is being prepared to be sent out to local businesses and
organizations inviting them to underwrite a number of library programs
which include the Mystery Lover's program; storytelling; summer reading
program; industry day booth, etc. This will offset some of the cost
associated with these various programs. The organizations will have the
opportunity to choose a particular program as they will be provided with
a list along with the associated costs.
Friends will continue fund raising by selling the book lovers pens. These
will be sold at the front desk and all profits will go the Friends of the
Library.
Consideration is being given to updating the library brochure that is
given out to new members.
The Sunday openings will take place in April from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00
p.m., however, the Library will be closed on April 12 for Easter. There
will be a sign up sheet for anyone interested in participating, at least two
people are needed each Sunday for the entire day- Donna Peterson, an
author, is tentatively scheduled to be at the library on one of the
Sundays (possibly April 26) for a reception and book signing. This will
need to be confirmed.
Library Commission
March 3, 1998
Page 3
Moore asked if Sunday openings was included in the budget. DeForest
replied it was not but another employee was included. DeForest
reported she was informed today the additional person was removed.
Moore felt the Sunday openings should be included in the budget since
it isn't a large dollar item. It was noted that several people utilize the
library on Sundays. Moore stated he would like to see the Commission
push for Sunday openings and he would take it to the budget session
which is scheduled for April. DeForest indicated there was some
justification since the library had doubled the fines which would more
than support the Sunday opening person. It was noted those revenues
are placed in the General Fund and are not accessible for the library to
use for staff funding.
RODES MOVED TO SUPPORT THE APRIL SUNDAY OPENINGS AT
THE LIBRARY AND TO TAKE IT TO COUNCIL IN WHATEVER FORM
WAS APPROPRIATE.
It was noted the Sunday openings would be for the full year and not just
limited to April.
RODES AMENDED THE MOTION TO SUPPORT SUNDAY OPENINGS
AT THE LIBRARY AND TAKE IT TO COUNCIL IN WHATEVER FORM
WAS APPROPRIATE. MOTION WAS SECONDED BY BROWN.
VOICE VOTE: Motion passed unanimously.
Moore recommended that some cost figures accompany the budget
request. DeForest will provide those figures.
Heus reported that the post cards would support Sunday openings.
After a general group discussion it was decided a packet of information
will be provided as justification. DeForest thought, since the library lost
the loan clerk, the new person working 20 hours per week could cover
Sundav and do the inter -library loans. There have been a lot of
complaints about the lack of an inter -library loan clerk. This task could
not be assigned to a volunteer as someone is needed on constant basis.
DeForest reported she will be meeting with the City Manager on
Tuesday, March 10, 1998 for the first budget cuts. It was noted the
building would probably be removed.

8. COMMISSIONER'S COMMENTS / QUESTIONS
Commissioner Heus asked about the status of the philanthropist list from
Tess Whalen of EDD. It was noted the list has not yet been provided. Peters
reported this is a task for the Public Relations Committee and they will follow
up on it.
Commissioner Forbes reported that she contacted Linda Swarner and it was
recommended that Sue Carter be invited to a meeting to explain the steps
taken for funding of the cultural center. DeForest will obtain Carter's phone
number and provide it to Forbes.
Commissioner Brown again reminded Commissioners of the "Writer's Night" at
the Visitor Center on March 5 at 7:00 p.m.
Commissioner Rodes apologized for missing the past t :ro meetings and
indicated she would not be available for the April meeting. Chairman Peters
excused Rodes absence in April.
Councilman Moore asked if anyone had any questions regarding the Council
agenda which was included in the packet. A brief discussion took place on the
Cunningham Park issue and Councilman Moore explained that the City had
sold a portion of their land to Garcia after he had encroached on it. The City
gave Mr. Garcia a list of items to complete prior to the sale. Garcia complied
and the parcel of land was sold.
Moore encouraged Commissioners to inquire about and— ,ping included on the
agenda.
DeForest reported that Parks and Rec and the Library «zll have a booth at the
Kenai River Festival again this year. Volunteers are needed to work the booth.

4. PERSONS SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD
a. Steve Foster - Youth Football League / Review and Design Work
Foster attended the meeting seeking permission from the Parks and Rec
Commission to allow the Popp Warner Youth Football League to utilize
the FAA fields for their football games. Additionally, the League would
like Parks and Rec to make improvements to the fields. When it was
asked when the season would start, Foster replied between July 15 and
August 1. Foster added, the program would continue through the end of
September. Foster explained the League currently plays their games at
the high school, So -Hi, and Skyview. The League anticipates a lot of
growth this year going from five teams to approximately ten or 12.
Parks & Rec Commission
March 5, 1998
Page 1
It was confirmed the area being discussed was indeed City property and
had youth football games played there in the mid 1970's.
Todd Severson (also in attendance in support of the Youth Football
League) explained the improvements would include leveling the field for
safety purposes as there are a lot of sink holes and a burn pit at one
end. The area needs to be weeded and perhaps some new grass planted.
As football does cause wear and tear some maintenance would be
required. Severson also stated that future plans for the area may
include adding bleachers, concessions, and sponsor booster club boards.
Sandahl noted the Parks and Rec season is over approximately the end
of August and asked if the maintenance requirements would be the
responsibility of the Youth Football League at that time. It was noted
that Popp Warner would assure the field is game ready by cutting the
grass and handling the maintenance after the Parks and Rec season
closed.
Severson indicated that having the field would benefit the school district
as the youth league would have their own field to play on. It was noted
the FAA field would be used for games only and practices would be held
in other areas. A general discussion took place on maintenance and
Frates indicated it would not be a problem for Parks and Rec and the
work would include watering and grooming.
Castimore asked about the RV caravans that come through and utilize
the area. Frates reported there were no caravans last year and when
they do come it is only for a few days and normally it is early in the
season. Foster asked if the campers could be placed up to a certain
point. Frates answered that it would be considered.
Parking was discussed and it was determined that Parks and Rec would
make the necessary provisions.
The legal liability was discussed and it was noted the parents and
children are required to sign waivers.
CASTIMORE MOVED TO RECOMMEND TO CITY COUNCIL THAT THE
YOUTH FOOTBALL LEAGUE BE ALLOWED TO USE THE FAA FIELDS
THEY REQUESTED AND IF APPROVED THE CITY ATTORNEY
ASSURES ALL LIABILITY CONSIDERATIONS ARE TAKEN CARE OF.
MOTION SECONDED BY BREWER.
Parks & Rec Commission
March 5, 1998
Page 2
It was noted that Popp Warner does provide appropriate insurance
coverage. Smalley asked if Foster was appointed and approved to
represent Popp Warner. Foster replied that he is a Director but not
officially on the Board. Smalley stated that it would be Foster or the
Board that would come to City Administration to handle the liability
situation.
Brewer suggested that consideration be given to having high school
students assist Popp Warner in keeping the football field maintained.
Brewer continued, students at the high school are required to have so
many hours of community service and can fulfill the requirement by
helping out. Frates thought that was an excellent idea and indicated he
and Foster will work together on a maintenance program if the project is
approved by Council.

5 OLD BUSINESS
a. Discussion - Hansen Park - Review and Design Work
Frates reported a new design was done for the Erik Hansen Park by
William J. Nelson and Associates. The new design was paid for by the
Public Works Department. Frates handed out a letter that was just
received from Suzanne Little expressing concern :with the design of the
park.
Frates stated he was not happy with some things on the new design
which include the straight linear pathway that goes into the park, there
should be some curves incorporated in the design. Castimore suggested
that shrubbery be placed around the park to break up the flat areas.
Frates reported that Bill Kluge from the Historic District Board wanted
the City to put a lot of time, thought, and effort into the design of the
park as this is something that should last for years to come. It was
asked if Kluge considered volunteering some of his expertise and it was
Parks & Rec Commission
March 5, 1998
Page 3
assumed that he did not. Frates stated a lot of thought and time has
gone into the design and it is one that works for the Department and the
Hansen family.
Frates noted that Dr. Hansen had some concerns with the revised design
which include the linear straight walkway leading into the park, adding
an entrance and exit to the statue area, extending the trail 10 feet
towards the top of the bluff, extend the width of the pad from 9 feet to 13
feet, and adding benches along the edge of the grass. It was noted the
top of the bluff was very stable.
Sandahl asked how the project is viewed from a financial standpoint.
Kornelis replied, the first thing that needs to happen is that the
Commission come to an agreement on the design then the City would do
a cost estimate based on the wishes of the Commission. Davis -Bacon
wages would be used in the estimate but areas that can be handled by
the City will be identified. Discussion took place on building the park in
phases and it was noted the project had to be completed within two
years. Frates thought the first phase would be to complete what was
included in the design and the second phase could include benches and
erecting a panoramic photograph of the Inlet and mountain ranges.
Juliussen agreed with the signage and suggested the Dena'ina name of
the mountains be included under the English name. Frates stated that
Kluge suggested a compass be included near the signs and that bronze
signs be considered. It was noted that bronze signs would be very
expensive.
Castimore stated that he would like to see the project move forward and
didn't think a different plan had to come before the Commission every
month. Wisniewski stated it was the Commission's responsibility to
keep the project very economical and bronze signs are not economical.
Brewer asked if Dr. Hansen would have the final decision on the design
of the park. Sandahl requested clarification on Dr. Hansen's role with
the park. Smalley answered, Dr. Hansen was going to be working with
the Commission and the Kenaitze Indian Tribe to come up with a
proposal that would be recommended to Council and/or implemented.
Discussion took place on doing the work in phases and Smalley
reiterated that the project has two years to be completed and if Dr.
Hansen agrees the work is substantially done then other items could be
added at a later date. Frates noted that Mrs. Hansen is adamant that
the statue be placed in the exact location as indicated on the design.
Parks &, Rec Commission
March 5, 1998
Page 4
Further discussion took place on the design and various suggestions
included consideration to a natural flow of traffic through the park and
installing a fence to keep people off the grass during construction.
Wisniewski stated he attended the Historic District Board meeting and
the Board wants the Kenai gold rush mentioned in the signage. It was
confirmed by both Smalley and Wisniewski that there indeed was a gold
rush in Kenai. Wisniewski continued, the Board wants more attention
paid to the park to assure a quality site that keeps with the unity of Old
Town and to include lighting. It was pointed out that lighting was never
discussed as part of the plan for the Erik Hansen Park as it would be
used at a time when there is about 22 hours of daylight. Kornelis stated
the only lighting in Old Town is street lighting for vehicles not for paths.
Discussion took place on signage and various options were presented.
Juliussen handed out a proposal prepared by the Kenaitze Indian Tribe's
Cultural Heritage Department. Juliussen pointed out the reasons for
having one sign is the less cost involved, less disturbance to the site,
vandalism repairs would be less costly, and the site isn't large enough to
accommodate more than one sign without detracting from the natural
beauty of the area. More than one sign would give a cluttered
appearance. Additionally, with one sign the quality of artwork and text
could be concentrated upon. Juliussen suggested the sign be placed at
the entrance of the park. It was also suggested that consideration be
given to placing brochures at the exit. Juliussen indicated the Kenaitze
Indian Tribe is willing to assist with any work required. It was also
suggested that a large rock be placed at the entrance with the sign
embedded in it.
Frates pointed out the process would be to bring the design to Council
for approval then the next step would be the budget process.
6 NEW BUSINESS
a. Discussion - Camping on the Softball Green Strip
Frates requested discussion on camping on the softball green strip
because of comments made regarding lawn damage from vehicles, fires
and hot briquets. After a group discussion it was determined the only
major problem was from people parking on the lawns and that is taken
care of by law enforcement or Parks and Rec staff_ It was recommended
that more communication be made between the tcams and the literature
provided include the parking requirements and other regulations set by
Parks & Rec Commission
March 5, 1998
Page 5
Parks and Rec. Castimore recommended the area near the restrooms be
used by campers. Smalley reported that Council didn't have any
complaints about the campers other than drinking and parking on the
grass. It was also determined that if the area was closed to camping it
would negatively affect other businesses in the area as the teams would
stop coming to the Peninsula if the free camping option was no longer
available. Smalley suggested the pavilion area be used for cooking.
7. Director's Report
a. Restoration and Improvements / Bernie Huss Fitness Trail
Frates reported Jessica Sterling's proposal to make improvements on the
Bernie Huss Fitness Trail was accepted by the Girl Scouts. Frates,
Slavik and Sterling will meet in late March or early April for an initial
planning session. As-builts and aerial photos will be provided and a
walk through will be done to tag trees etc. Castimore suggested that a
letter be sent to Hultberg to solicit funds from the Moose Lodge for the
project.
b. Kenai Middle School / 21`` Century Grant
Frates reported, Connie Wirz from Kenai Middle School approached the
Parks and Rec Department to participate in a 21' Century Grant. The
grant is an educational/recreational grant and would provide a
minimum of $35,000 to assist in setting up after -school programs
targeted for youths at risk. The recreational sen,-ices would be
performed at the Rec Center. Unfortunately the grant is due on March 9
and it was determined there was too little time to effectively accomplish
the grant application. However, the group will begin work on a new
grant in the fall.
C. Spring Break Youth Activities
Spring break begins on March 23, 1998 and the teen center will open
early. In conjunction to that various gym activities will be incorporated.
Castimore thanked Frates for the efforts made during spring break as
there are a lot of kids left alone and would benefit from the programs.
Frates reported a ski trip is scheduled for March 28, 1998. Laidlaw will
provide transportation to Alyeska for 30 kids. Chaperone volunteers are
needed.

d. Don Wright / Batting Cage Proposal
The batting cage proposal was approved by Council. Wright will set up
in early April.
e. Kenai River Festival
The Kenai River Festival's use of the FAA grounds was also approved by
Council.
8. QUESTIONS & COMMENTS
VA
Councilman Smalley reported that the City has sold the small parcel of land to
Garcia in Cunningham Park. This is the portion of land Garcia encroached on
and after receiving approval from the Cunningham heirs, the sale was made at
appraised value. Smalley reported the fence will be moved in the summer to
assure there wouldn't be another encroachment.
Commissioner Brewer indicated that flyers on the spring break activities could
be placed around the high school and announcements could be made.
Castimore suggested the same announcements be made at Nikiski High
School.
Commissioner Wisniewski asked about the status of the skating rink.
Smalley answered the process is moving along slowly and the City is now
awaiting approval from BOR to release the land near the golf course for sale.
Frates reported that he had conversations with Kodiak on their skating rink
process. Smalley reported the high school kids in Juneau wrote and received a
grant for $150,000 for a skate board/roller blade park. The kids worked in
conjunction with the City and Borough.

Kenai River. Now known as the Kenaitze Indian Tribe, IRA - their descendants continue
to be a vital part of' life in today's village of Kenai.

Page 1
4. PERSONS SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD:
a. Helen Brown, Art Guild
Brown attended the meeting to give the Committee an update on the
banners. Brown reported that she was having a difficult time in getting
assistance and support for the sample banners with the mesh type
fabric. As a result she will be unable to provide those and suggested
they be ordered directly from the suppliers. Brown did provide three
new designs for the new banners as well as copies of the old banner
designs. These were given to Frates.
The 15 banners the Art Guild promised are currently being worked on
with the heavier fabric. Brown provided a sample of the fabric and the
various colors being used. The new fabric is 400 Denier Nylon. The
colors were more intense. Brown noted that J&H Sewing offered the use
of their industrial sewing machine and the replacement banners should
be ready on or before May 1, 1998.
Brown is interested in serving on the Beautification Committee and
provided Hett with her application. Frates will forward it to the City
Clerk.
Brown indicated that the Kenai Arts and Humanities Council has three
vacancies and requested that Beautification members pass the
information along to friends. The are looking for individuals that have a
good business background.
Brown reported an art group from California will be visiting Homer in

and the final decisions on seeds were made. The type of seeds ordered
was discussed.
6. NEW BUSINESS
a. Summer Garden Contest

contest and a home could be selected weekly or bi-weekly. The Clarion
Beautification Committee
March 10, 1998
Page 2
has agreed to run an article and show a photo of the property each week.
The Chamber has $150.00 in the budget for a sign and perhaps the City
could come up with matching funds. The type of sign was discussed but
no final decision was made.
Hett recommended that a committee chairperson be appointed. This
person will be the main contact for nominations and will be responsible
for notifying the Clarion of the selected property on a weekly basis. Nord
volunteered to look at the nominated properties as required. A
chairperson will be discussed in more detail and chosen at the next
meeting.
Hett reported the Clarion is going to do a Spring Section and will
highlight the garden contest in it.
b. Flower Boxes
Frates reported that Councilperson Swarner requested more flower
boxes and the decision was made to have the work done in-house. The
cost is approximately $40.00 per box and Frates anticipates about six or
ten being made. It was also noted the work will be performed by
volunteers.
HANSEN MOVED TO HAVE THE PARKS AND RECREATION

by the next meeting. It is anticipated that very little landscaping will be
required as they are looking at a very low maintenance project. It is
possible there will be a small flower bed near the statue. It was noted
the sprinkler system is still being considered.
C. Kenai City Council Liaison - No report
8. QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS
Chairperson Hett stated there were no current plans for a volunteer
orientation and asked for suggestions from members. Overturf suggested that
the Kenaitze Indian Tribe be contacted to see if it is possible to have a booth or
some brochures at their Garden Party. Hansen suggested small invitations be
available to hand out to people. Frates will design a flyer. Hett reported the
Clarion will have an article in their Spring Section on volunteers as well.

ITEM B: SCHEDULED PUBLIC COMMENT
B-1. Brad Schuh - Sooner or Later Marketing Co./Kenai Peninsula Business
Cartoon Map.
Schuh explained he lives in Kenai and is working for the Sooner or Later Marketing
Co. which is located in Anchorage. He added, a cartoon map was created in 1991 and
the company is gathering advertisements, etc. for an updated map which they want to
have available for purchase this summer. By the cut-off date (April 1), they hoped to
have 150 businesses included on the map.
Schuh reviewed the prices for the advertisements and noted 50 free maps would be
given to the city for the purchase of advertising space. They plan to manufacture
7500 maps and have them available throughout the Peninsula and in the Sea/Tac
Airport. Schuh also noted, the map will feature the 25' anniversary of the Peninsula
Oilers in the center of the map.
Mayor Williams asked council to consider placing funds in their budget for purchase
of air time with the major television stations in Anchorage to advertise the City of
Kenai and what it has to offer. He noted, many people think when "Kenai" is
mentioned, they think only of the Kenai Peninsula and not the city itself. Williams
added, the map would help in showcasing the city of Kenai.
It was asked how many buildings the city advertised on the 1991 map and at what
cost. Councilman Bookey stated he believed the advertising of city buildings was
included at no cost to the city and felt they should be this time as well. Schuh stated
he would have to check with his company to know whether a blanket price for several
city buildings could be arranged.
MOTION:
Councilman Moore MOVED if the organization can negotiate with the city manager for
a single price for all the major departments in the City of Kenai, to accept a
subscription for the map. Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion.
VOTE:
Williams: Yes Bookey: No SR arner: Yes
Moore: Yes Measles: Yes Bannock: Absent
Smalley: Yes
MOTION PASSED.

ITEM C: PUBLIC HEARINGS
C-1. Ordinance No. 1774-98 - Finding That Certain City -Owned Land,
Described as Lot 12, Block 2, Mooring by the River Subdivision, is Not
Required for a Public Purpose.
MOTION:
Councilman Bookey MOVED for adoption of Ordinance No. 1774-98 and Councilman
Smalley SECONDED the motion.
Bob Peters - Resident of Old Town. Peters asked how it is determined the land is not
needed for public purpose. Measles answered, if the land is not needed for a city
development or would not be an appropriate location for a public park. Williams
explained, this piece of property is located in a pre -established subdivision in
Soldotna which came to the city as part of a settlement.
Councilwoman Swarner stated she would abstain from voting on this issue as it was a
relative who requested the city determine the property would not be needed for public
use. Mayor Williams approved the abstention.
VOTE:
Williams: Yes Bookey: Yes Swarner: Abstain
Moore: Yes Measles: Yes Bannock: Absent
Smalley: Yes
MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.

There were no objections to the motion. SO ORDERED.
C-4. Resolution No. 98-9 - Awarding the Bid to Kenai Chrysler Center for a
1/2-ton Sport Utility Vehicle for the Total Amount of $28,452.
MOTION:
Councilman Moore MOVED for approval of Resolution No. 98-9 and Councilwoman
Swarner SECONDED the motion.
There were no public comments. Councilman Moore noted the budget referred to the
purchase of a Suburban. City Manager Ross explained, this was the second time the
vehicle was bid. The first time, the bids were rejected because the request for bids
was not published but sent to three vendors (permissible by Code), however all were
General Motors vendors (which is not permissible). Before the new request was
advertised, the size of vehicle was evaluated and it was felt a sport utility vehicle
would fulfill the needs at a lesser price. Because a sport utility vehicle was being
sought, all four local vendors could consider submitting a bid. All received a packet
and the request for bids was advertised in the paper.

C-5. Resolution No. 98-10 - Authorizing the City of Kenai's Administration to
Apply to the Department of Environmental Conservation for a
Disadvantaged Assistance Grant from the Alaska Drinking Water Fund
for Well Houses and Pumphouse Modernization and Upgrade.
MOTION:
Councilman Smalley MOVED for adoption of Resolution No. 98-10 and Councilwoman
Swarner SECONDED the motion.
There were no public comments. Councilman Measles asked for an explanation of a
"disadvantaged assistance grant." Kornelis explained, this is a program offered
through the DEC/Alaska Drinking Water Fund which is usually a loan program. He
noted, the third whereas stated the city would not have to pay back the funds
because the city has other grant funds to use for the city's match. Cities with a
population less than 10,000 determines which communities are disadvantaged for the
purpose of this grant. Kornelis added, the funds would be used for upgrading
Wellhouses No. I and 2 and the pumphouse.
Moore asked if it was acceptable to use DEC grant funds as match for this grant.
Komelis answered, yes, because they are federal DEC monies. He added, council
reviewed the application some time ago.
Smalley noted, through a discussion he had with Assemblyman Navarre, Senator
Stevens' office indicated there is money waiting to be requested through U.S.
Department of Agriculture. He suggested the city check into these grants as possible
funding for bluff erosion stabilization.
VOTE:
There were no objections. SO ORDERED.

the Senior Center. Swarner requested another council member attend the meeting for
her as she would not be able to attend.
D-2. Airport Commission
Councilman Measles reported the next meeting was scheduled for Thursday, March
12, 1998. He noted, the unapproved minutes of the Commission's February meeting
were included in the packet.
Swarner noted the minutes referred to Commissioner Thompson. Clerk Freas noted,
it was an error and the minutes should refer to Commissioner Thibodeau. Freas
added, the original minutes had already been corrected.
Acting Airport Manager Holland reported a bid opening for the airport gift shop was
scheduled for Thursday, March 5. At this time, one proposal had been received,
although six packets had been picked up.
Swarner noted the graphic border which was recently painted on the walls opposite
the ticket counters looked very nice. Williams stated his concern that the airport
terminal carpet needed cleaning and suggested the next time the carpet is replaced, a
carpet with no pattern be chosen.
D-3. Harbor Commission
Councilman Bookey reported the next meeting was scheduled for March 9. He
reminded council the Commission was two members short.

D-5. Parks & Recreation Commission
Councilman Smalley reported he will attend the Parks meeting on March 5 for
Councilman Bannock. Williams noted, he had been asked by Commissioner Sandahl
about the direction for the Hansen Park and changes in thought regarding funds.
Ross stated he was unaware of any changes.
D-6. Planning & Zoning Commission
Smalley reported minutes of both the February meetings were included in the packet.
He noted a variance was approved at the February 11 meeting for which a letter of
appeal had been submitted to the Clerk by Mr. Amen. However, the person receiving
the variance (Gifford) submitted. a letter relinquishing the variance. Therefore, the
appeal was moot.
Smalley reported the February 25, 1998 meeting was quick. The Commission
reviewed the Development Requirements Table and set a work session for 6:00 p.m.
on March 25. A memorandum included in the packet from the Commission invited
council to attend the work session. Smalley stated Bannock would attend for him as
he will be out of town. Also a light dinner will be offered for the Commission, council
and others attending.
Smallev noted there were comments of concern from the commissioners in regard to
vehicles crossing the bike path to enter/exit the Subway/Blockbuster building. Ross
reported letters had been sent to the owners of the building and the State was
contacted. The State investigated the matter and determined Frith the snow cover, no
one can tell they are on the bike path. However they will place barricades there in the
spring.
Councilman Moore referred to Item I-4 in the packet, which was the correspondence
in regard to the Gifford variance and Amen appeal. Moore noted, Amen, in his letter
of appeal, commented he had not received notification. Smalley explained, Amen (and
other neighbors) were aware of the variance request and had no objections to what
Gifford was initially recuesting for a variance. However, Amen and the neighbors
were not aware of the Commission's decision to allow the Gifford home to be placed
five feet closer to Amen's lot line than the original variance application requested.
Smalley repeated, there was no dissatisfaction of the original notification.

Councilman Smalley stated he would attend the Council on Aging meeting.
D-7b. Historic District Board
Councilman Moore reported the minutes of the last meeting were included in the

Council had no objections to the Board holding a work session prior to their March 16
meeting.

hoping to add a science/math teacher from the Nikiski School to the committee.
Williams reported the fund raiser, targeting local organizations, was held at the KVCC
and was successful. Additional fund raisers are planned for Kenai (March 26) and
Anchorage. The next Kenai fund raiser will target founding families of the area and

KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
MARCH 4, 1998
PAGE 10
a. Space Allocation Study - Williams reported the Borough was doing an
area wide search for space for Borough offices. Williams explained, he
suggested the Borough give some thought to using the Kenai Elementary
School or leasing space in the old mall. A report will be generated from
which the Borough will be able to move different departments to other
sites. Williams requested council forward comments to him or attend
the next space allocation meeting.
b. Trip to Juneau - Williams reported he traveled to Juneau during the
last week of February. During his visit, he talked at length with
legislators about city projects and requests. During one conversation,
he was asked if the city wanted to write a letter stating its desire to dig a
water well at the golf course. He discussed the matter with Ross, but a
response needs to be forwarded to the legislator.
Ross reported he had several calls from Juneau on the subject. He
continued, the legislator was keenly interested in providing funding to
dig a water well on the back nine holes. Ross stated, he spoke with the
lessees of the golf course (Morgan's) and they are interested in putting a
well in. Ross added, in speaking with the legislator's aide, he made it
clear the city's priorities were noted on its CIP list and what the
legislator is suggesting should not be confused with the city's CIP list or
added to it. It is a completely separate item.
Ross continued, unless council directed him differently, he would send a
letter to the legislator stating that if he has $10,000 to give to the city to
improve the municipal system, the city would accept it. However, it is
not to be confused with the CIP list.
Bookey stated he had no objection to accepting the funds, but did not
want this matter to infringe on the funds requested for the CIP projects.
Council agreed. Ross stated he would send the letter and noting the CIP
list and the golf course well, but stating the two should not be confused.
I-2. City Manager
a. Cunningham Park Fence - Ross reported the east fence at Cunningham
Park would be moved in the Spring by city employees. However, he
would like to leave the westerly fence as it is. He noted, it was originally
placed to keep the public in the area they needed to be in. He added,
the westerly fence does not delineate the property- line, but serves a
purpose in defining the area where the public should be.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
MARCH 4, 1998
PAGE 11
b. Beach Signs - Ross reported the Parks & Recreation Department and
Kenai Police Department were working with the State in developing
signage to be placed at the Spruce Street beach area. More information
will be brought back to council for review.
C. BOR Land Exchange - Ross referred to Information Item No. 5, a map
noting the property to be traded, released from restrictions, and
properties to be restricted in regard to the golf course properties. He
noted, the information was forwarded to Congressman Young's office.
Measles noted, the rationale for placing the Cunningham Park fence was to be a
buffer from the park activities and adjoining properties (Garcia's house and garage).
This lead to the problem just resolved in regard to the Garcia encroachment. Measles
added, he believed the reason council suggested both fences be moved was to prevent
the same type of problem on the westerly side of the park. Measles added, it was
very clear to everyone, including the Garcias, that the fences were not placed on the
property lines.
Smalley stated he understood Measles' concerns and suggested placing steel posts or
markers to identify the property lines, instead of moving the fence.
Ross stated, if council wants to move the fence, costs will be investigated. However,
he didn't want to concede the city needed to have the fence on the property line. It is
the developers' responsibility to check. Ross asked council if they wanted the fence to
be moved. Swarner requested a cost estimate be brought back to council for
consideration. Ross noted, if the westerly fence is moved, the work would have to be
contracted out.
d. Signs - Ross reminded council there were several lots sold to New Castle
Builders along Evergreen Street in 1997. The builder would like to place
an off -premise sign along Spur Highway advertising homes for sale on
those properties. In order to request a sign variance from the Planning
& Zoning Commission, a letter of permission from the property owner
must be submitted with the application. The property on which the
builder would like to place the off -premise sign belongs to the City of
Kenai.
Ross continued, the matter was brought to him because the property
belongs to the city. He suggested, perhaps with a sign along the
highway, more people looking for homes, might consider these new
homes. Ross noted, there may be another builder who will want to make
the same request later.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
MARCH 4, 1998
PAGE 12
Ross asked council if they had any objections to his writing a letter
giving the city's permission to the building to place a sign advertising his
houses for a four -month period. The letter would be attached to the
variance application and taken to the Commission for discussion. The
letter would not take a position.
Smalley stated he objected as council had just turned down a similar
request for a local church to place a sign on city property. He was
concerned they would set a precedence. Swarner asked if there was a
fee for a variance application. Attorney Graves answered, yes, $100.
Ross stated, the matter Smalley referred to was for an existing sign to be
placed as a permanent sign on city property. This request is to place a
temporary sign during the construction season. Swamer stated, she
had no objection to placing a temporary sign, as long as it is
aesthetically pleasing. Bookey stated he would not object to a temporary
sign as long as it was attractive. Williams suggested the sign be allowed
for a six-month period.
Ross stated, the letter will not take a position, would allow a temporary
sign placed for four months, and will require prior city approval of the
site and quality of the sign. Smalley noted, this builder is the same
person who came before council in regard to paving strips in front of
homes he built last summer in another part of town. It was noted, there
was some delay in the paving being completed because of a question of
who would be paying for the paving. Also, the paving was delayed
because the paving equipment was being used by the State for the
highway project at Hope.
Williams asked if there were any objections to Ross writing a letter of
permission in this matter. There were no objections voiced.
d. Work Session Date - Ross noted, council had requested he come back
with a date to hold a work session in regard to the dip net fishery. Ross
added, he was still collecting internal information and he will bring a
suggested date to council after he receives the information he has
requested.
Ross noted, the State has offered signage and dumpsters. However, the
fish waste requires permission to be dumped and the rates are being
checked for this service. The trespass issue and whether the city's
tractor and rake will be capable of cleaning the beach are being
investigated.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
MARCH 4, 1998
PAGE 13
Moore stated, he was concerned the dip net fishery season will be back
and wants the city ready for it. Ross stated, he would bring back a plan
for council's review and consideration.
e. Phone Service - Ross stated a request for proposals will be developed in
April for the new budget year.
I-3. Attorney
Attorney Graves reported the Chumley decision had been placed on the home page for
the public's review.
I-4. City Clerk
Clerk Freas reported a representative from the Document Solutions Company
requested to make a presentation of the DocStar Electronic Filing System for city staff
and council members. Moore encouraged council to attend as he had seen the
presentation and it was very interesting.
Finance Director
Finance Director Semmens reported the budgets, as submitted by departments, were
being reviewed. He requested council to consider setting a date for the first budget
work session at their next meeting. He noted, he hopes to have the draft budget
document to council by April 6 (which is not a meeting date, but would be about one
week prior to the suggested first budget work session date).
Williams noted he and the Clerk discussed the donations made every year to
organizations in the community. He asked if council would like to hear requests for
donations at the first work session as has been done in the last few years and
suggested those receiving donations in the past also attend and make a request.
There were no objections stated from council. Ross stated, he proposed the first work
session to be an overall revenue/expenditure picture and additional work sessions
would be used to review all other departments. He suggested council first do the
review prior to hearing the other requests. He added, it may help the public attending
to understand what council's concerns are with funding available and the availability
of funds for donations. William suggested combining the review and the donation
requests at the first meeting would be a good idea.
Clerk Freas asked if Williams meant that all those receiving donations in the past
should be invited to the first work session to make a new request. Williams
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
MARCH 4, 1998
PAGE 14
answered, yes, that was his intention. He added, request presentations should
include what the money has been used for in the past, what the intention of use will
be in the future, etc.
Bookey referred to the Gross Sales and Tax Sales Table which was included in the
packet. Bookey noted, the large differential of $161 million between non-taxable and
taxable sales in the city. He asked if there is a way to find out what the $161 million
differential represents in sales over $500. Semmens stated, the sales tax forms have
all the breakdown, but the Borough sales tax system only tracks the total non-taxable
sales. However, a breakdown of the gross sales and the taxable sales by business
type could be done and that would help in understanding from where the gross sales
are originating. He added, he would get that information for the next council meeting.
I-6. Public Works Director
a. Open Houses - Kornelis reminded council of the open houses for the
Animal Control Shelter and Wellhouse No. 3 on March 7, from 10:00
a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
b. Forest/Redoubt Drive Reconstruction - Kornelis reminded council of
the Neighborhood Workshop for the Forest/Redoubt Drive
reconstruction project scheduled for March 26 at 7:00 p.m.
C. STIP Program - Kornelis referred council to information included in the
packet which listed the STIP projects for the local area.
Williams asked if the North Road reconstruction project had anything to
do with the road work for the center of town. Kornelis answered, he
believed it did.
I-7. Airport Manager
Acting Airport Manager Holland referred to information in the packet which reported
on recent activities at the airport, including a brief time line for the taxiway extension
completion. He added, the airport restaurant was again open.
ITEM J:
J-1. Citizens
Bob Peters - Referring to councils' earlier discussion in regard to moving the fence at
Cunningham Park so the neighbors will know where the property line is situated.

Peters stated, he believed that was a poor idea because it was placed for a reason,
protecting the park and land, and controlling the public in an area of the land, etc.
He added, he hoped council would take a harder line than the last time if a neighbor
again built something on the city's property. Peters continued, and if a sale is
negotiated, l hoped the sale would be at a price that is beneficial to the city and not
to the neighbor.
Peters questioned the Soldotna property which had been deemed not required for
public use. He asked, how disposal of the lot would take place. Attorney Graves
answered, an applicant has expressed interest in purchasing the lot. The next step
will be for the city to acquire an appraisal to determine the current fair market value.
The lot will then be put out to bid. Bidders (by sealed bid) will have to meet the fair
market value as a minimum bid. The highest bidder will be awarded the property.
However, the applicant has the opportunity to meet the highest bid. Graves noted,
when the city acquired the property a few years ago, the value then was determined at
$22,100.
Peters noted concerns stated in an earlier meeting regarding notification of
surrounding property owners. He added, he was aware of a sale of property where his
property was within 100 yards of the property to be sold. He noted, he had not been
notified of that sale. Peters asked, for a sale of property, if the neighbors are notified.
Williams answered, the notification is in the process of determining whether the
property is needed for public purposes which happened earlier in the meeting.
Williams added, the notice of public hearing on the resolution was also advertised in
the newspaper.
J-2. Council
Bookey - No report.
Swarner - Reported she would not be at the March 18 meeting as she will be
out of town for two weeks.
Moore - No report.
Measles - No report.
Smalley - He noted the ASHA office was moving into space at the Blazy Mall in
Soldotna. Smalley also stated he had a conversation with one of the city's insurance
carriers and asked if the carrier could make a presentation at the next council
meeting. Ross answered, council was aware administration tried to renegotiate the
same rates with the city's carriers. He added, the health insurance carrier raised
some issues in a letter he received and administration is now investigating some
areas which might be negotiable. The matter will be brought to council. Ross
continued, when the matter does come to council, the health package may be
continued only one year (at the same rate now being paid) while looking at options for
future health insurance packages.

Smalley noted he would not be at the April 1 meeting as he will be in Juneau for AML
Board of Directors meetings. He added, he may not be able to attend the March 25
Planning & Zoning Commission meeting and work session. He expected Councilman
Bannock could attend in his place. Smalley encouraged other council members to
attend the Planning 8s Zoning work session.
Williams - Noted he would be in Juneau on April 1 attending Alaska
Conference of Mayors meetings and would not be attending the council meeting. He
asked council to pass on any concerns or questions to him or Smalley and they would
bring them to the legislators' attention. Williams added, he wanted to assure council
the $10,000 for the golf course water well was not his idea, but suggested by the local
legislator.

Memorandum
Date: March 13, 1998
To: Mayor and Council
From: Richard A. Ross, City Manager
RE: Classification Plan - Ordinance No. 1777-98
Ordinance No. 1778-98 will add two new job classifications to the City's Classification
Plan, one at the Airport and one in the Public Works Department. It does not add to the
number of personnel emploved by the City. This ordinance will also provide for the
classification upgrade of the Airport Manager's position.
I. Airport
In the Airport, the Administration is proposing the following changes:
A. The position of Airport Manager be raised from a Grade 17 to a Grade 20. The
starting salary would be raised from an annual rate of $49,463 to an annual
rate of $57,271.
Justification:
1. The Airport Manager's job description has been rewritten to require
marketing duties. When the position was advertised, leading qualified
candidates turned the position down because compensation was too low.
As a result, the position was not filled.
2. The new job description was submitted to the same Classification
Committee that was utilized in 1996. They appEed the methodology used in
1996 in evaluating the new job description. As a result of this process, it
was determined that the Grade 20 being recommended is within the
appropriate range based on that evaluation met:n od.
3. In surveying the two other municipal airports 11-1 Alaska, it was determined
this grade was appropriate. The comparable wTo,.;Id be as follows:
Memorandum to Mayor and Council
March 13, 1998
Page 2 of 3
City Low
Hi
Kenai $57,271
$68,727
Ketchikan 55,836
71,916
Juneau 57,600
73,993
While the position would still be below the high salary in the other two
communities, the disparity is consistent with the disparity in other positions
compared (i.e., Police Chief, Fire Chief, etc.).
B. The position of Assistant Airport Manager be established in the Classification
Table and set at a Grade 15.
Justification:
1. A position of Assistant Airport Manager would be established in the
Classification Table. This position assumes many of the responsibilities
previously performed by the Airport Manager. As the Airport Manager
becomes more involved in airport marketing, more of the
management/ supervision functions of airport maintenance and operation
will have to be delegated to this position.
2. The Grade 15 salary was set after review of other positions in the City. The
position assumes supervisory authority over riaintenance and operations
functions at the airport. In this capacity, it is very similar to the Street
Foreman position in function, which is also set at a Grade 15.
Summary
If Council approves the changes in Ordinance No. 1777-98, .ve will begin advertising the
Airport Manager's position after ordinance adoption.
The decision to fill the Assistant Airport Manager's position and possibly leave the
Airport Operations Specialist position vacant will be discussed as part of budget work
sessions. The addition of the Assistant Airport Manager's position to the Classification
Plan makes this an option.
H. Public Works Department
Proposal
The Administration is proposing that the position of Public Works Manager be added to
the Classification Table and the pay grade be set at Grade 21. The position would t
added to the exempt positions under KMC 23.10.030(c).
Memorandum to Mayor and Council
March 13, 1998

History
In January 1997 the Public Works Department was reorganized. Structural changes
were made after many meetings with Public Works Administration personnel.
Restructuring was directed at resolving management and organization structural
problems. Specific issues were the excessive span of control on the part of the Public
Works Director, task delegation without authority, fixing of responsibility within the
organization and both external and internal communication problems.
Under municipal code the City Manager can act as an ex officio Public Works Director.
This authority was exercised and the public works functions were divided between the
Public Works Director and the City Engineer, with both now directly reporting to the
City Manager. A description of the division of responsibilities was provided to you in the
FY98 budget narrative. A copy of that narrative is attached. For over a year the
department has operated as described in the FY98 budget narrative. I am satisfied that
the problems the reorganization was meant to deal with have generally been addressed.
Justifications:
1. The position grade assignment was arrived at after analysis and review of the
job descriptions using the Classification Plan and committee used in 1996.
2. The adoption of the proposed job classification gives the City Manager
flexibility in the structuring of the Public Works Department. It allows for
submission of the proposed fiscal implementation in the FY99 budget of a
structure that has been in place since January 1997.
3. If the Council adopts the proposed job classification, they will still have an
opportunity to review the actual management structure of the Public Works
Department during FY99 budget work sessions. If Ordinance No. 1777-98 is
adopted, the budget submitted to the Council will fund two Public Works
Manager positions and will not fund the Engineer and Public Works Director
positions.

DEPARTMENT NARRATIVE
GENERAL FUND - PUBLIC WORKS ADMINISTRATION
The Department of Public Works has a broad range of
responsibilities in the City of Kenai. In FY97 the department
was reorganized. Animal Control, which had historically been
classified as a Public Safety function, was transferred to the
administrative control and supervision of the Police Chief.
Functional responsibilities in the Public Works Department were
reassigned to improve communications and reduce the span of
control associated problems.
The Public Works Director reports to the City Manager and is
responsible for the departments that deliver direct services to
the public. This would include the Street Department; Street
Lighting; Water and Sewer Department; Sewer Treatment Plant; and
the Boating Facility. The Public Works Director also serves as
the project manager on assigned maintenance and capital
improvement projects.
The City Engineer reports to the City Manager and is responsible
for Planning and Zoning support and for the departments that
provide infrastructure support to other City departments. This
would include the Public Works Administrative staff; Engineering
Technician; Buildings (Inspection and Maintenance) and the City
Shop. The City Engineer provides engineering support and project
management on assigned maintenance and capital improvement
projects.

JUSTIFICATION FOR CHANGE ORDER NUMBER THREE
1. WELL INSTALLATION: The City of Kenai has requested that an on -site well be installed to
provide the primary source of water for the training water. The City water supply has limited
capacity and could have low pressures depending on City-wide demand and would be used as the
back up supply in the event the well was out of service. The well would provide a more reliable,
higher capacity, flow to the booster pump system. The City requests FAA participation in this
item.
REVISE SCHEDULE III - SITE UTILITIES AS FOLLOWS:
INCREASE AMOUNT = $127,153.00
2. 6" WATER MAIN FOR WELL: During the construction of the 10" water main from the
training building to the site, the decision was made to install the 6" water line that would run
from the proposed well to the pump room. This was completed in order to save the cost of re -
excavating the same area when the well was installed. The City requests FAA participation in this
item.
REVISE SCHEDULE III - SITE UTILITIES AS FOLLOWS:
INCREASE AMOUNT = $12,077.00
3. PANEL M BREAKER: A 100/3 circuit breaker was required in Panel M for the 75 KVA
transformer for Panel SP1. The City requests FAA participation in this item.
REVISE SCHEDULE IX - TRAINING BUILDING AS FOLLOWS:
INCREASE AMI OUNT = $435.83
4. TRUSS REVISIONS: The truss supplier incorrectly interpreted the truss loading diagrams for
the type 2A , 2B and 2C trusses. All of these trusses are intended to be used in pairs, with each
truss carrying the full load as shown on the drawing. The truss supplier assumed that each truss
pair was intended to carry i/2 of the design load. This resulted in the trussed being designed for '/2
of the design load. The truss supplier was informed of the discrepancy during the submittal
review process. The supplier corrected the problem by providing additional trusses to carry the
design loads. During the review of the truss shop drawings, it was noted that it would be
necessary to field laminate the trusses together with nails and bolts in order to make them operate
as a composite structural unit. The composite action of trusses was not required by the design
documents, so the additional nailing and bolting is a legitimate additional cost, along with the
additional time for coordination. The original cost proposal was $4,801.00. The Contractor's
cost was reduced to the proposed amount after discussion and negotiation with them. The City
requests FAA participation in this item.
REVISE SCHEDULE IX - TRAINING BUILDING AS FOLLOWS:
INCREASE AMOUNT = $2146.00
ADDITIONAL TRUSS HANGERS: The specified truss hangers were intended to be used with
single ply or double ply trusses. Since the truss supplier provided two double ply trusses (four
plies total) at each location, it was necessary to fabricate special hangers to support the four ply
trusses. The City requests FAA participation in this item.
REVISE SCHEDULE IX - TRAINING BUILDING AS FOLLOWS:
INCREASE AMOUNT = $686.35
6. 518" UNDERLAYMENT. The substitution of 518" roofing underlayment for'/2" roofing
underlayment above apparatus area was required because the apparatus area has a steel deck
which exceeds the manufacturer's recommendations for 1/2" underlayment to span the rib voids.
The contractor's additional amount requested, was verified and was determined appropriate for
the difference in material. The City requests FAA participation in this item.
REVISE SCHEDULE IX - TRAINING BUILDING AS FOLLOWS:
INCREASE AMOUNT = $1,903.20
7. CONTROL ROOM HEADER: The non bearing curtain wall over the Prop Control Room
window was designed to be supported off the end of the roof truss tails. A header was added to
reduce the amount of potential wind deflection at the window. Although wind deflection would
not have caused structural failure, it was determined that the movement under wind loads might
have been perceptible, and caused user discomfort. The header will reduce wind deflection at the
windows so that it will be imperceptible. The City requests FAA participation in this item.
REVISE SCHEDULE IX - TRAINING BUILDING AS FOLLOWS:
INCREASE AMOUNT = $1568.00
8. ROOM 207 REVISIONS: Room 207 ceiling revisions were required to accommodate
structural modifications required by Nelson & Associates. See item 6. The City requests FAA
participation in this item.
REVISE SCHEDULE IX - TRAINING BUILDING AS FOLLOWS:
INCREASE AMOUNT = $2316.00
9. TS COLUMN CORRECTION: The second floor column was offset 10" from the lower floor
column in order to provide a wider hallway at the second floor. The first floor column had to be
reinforced in order to carry the offset load. The City requests FAA participation in this item.
REVISE SCHEDULE IX - TRAINING BUILDING AS FOLLOWS:
INCREASE AMOUNT = $1,057.61
FA

Re: Change Order No. Three
Alaska Regional Fire Training Facility
NM # 2950.001.03-040-0113
Dear Mr. La Shot:
Attached herewith are revised pages of the Justification section of Change Order Number Three.
The change order is required in order to make provisions for items due to changes in the project and
also to improve the quality of the final project. The justification for each item is provided as part
of the change order form.
As you are aware, the largest item with this change order is the addition of the well to the project
which is covered in the first two items on the change order list. The well will provide a reliable
source of water for training purposes and not cause any stress to the City water system during the
peak demand season in the summers. The amount quoted by Alcan, for the well construction was
originally $13 3,150.00. After modifications to the quote were made, the final number was $127,153.
The Engineer's Opinion of Probable Cost was $113,542, which is a 12% difference. The largest
difference in the items appears to be the installation of the pitless adxxer, which we have tentatively
discussed installing under time and materials in and effort to clearly identify the actual cost. The
other items were fairly consistent with the amount estimated. Copies of each are attached for your
review.
The following is a summary of the Change Orders to date:
Change Order Amount Remarks
One +$ 36,987.23 Utilities for ESI structural trainer
Two - $116,234.15 $122,000 savings on AV system
$ 5,785.50 increase of other project costs
Three +$147,193.45 $139,230 increase of cast for well installation
$ 7,963.43 increase of other project costs

The total change to the contract after all three change orders will be an increase of $67,946.53 or
1.56% of the project cost to date which is $4,356,000.
The items that have been requested by the City are:
Change Order One Increase $ 36,987 (Structural building)
Change Order Two Credit ($122,000) (AV system)
Change Order Three Increase $139,230 (Well)
$54,217 (1.2% of cost to date)
The items that have been requested by the Contractor and Design Team are:
Change Order Two $5,786
Change Order Three $7,963
$13,749 (0.3% of cost to date)
At this time, we are also anticipating significant project savings in the earthwork quantities. When
the site earthwork is completed, we will have a much better idea of what the project savings will be.
We appreciate your consideration of these items and request that they be approved in an effort to
maintain the quality of the construction project, and allow the contractor and design team to
complete the project in a timely manner.

RE: Counter Space at Kenai Airport
Ms. Artha L. (Bonnie) Koerber, Garrison Corporation d/b/a Budget -Rent-A-Car, has
expressed an interest in leasing additional counter space at the Kenai Airport Terminal. Ms.
Koerber wishes to lease space number 19, which is adjacent to her existing space.
If approved, the new space would be leased as a separate and individual space. The new
lease would include floor space and the use of 15 automobile parking spaces in the rental lot.
She would be required to report and comply with the 10% of gross revenues clause for
revenues generated from this space. She would be allowed to physically modify the spaces at
the approval of the Airport Manger. The Airport reserves the right to store items removed in
any modifications.
The City Administration recommends leasing the space to Ms. Koerber until June 30, 1999 -
the date all of the car rental spaces expire.
Entering into this lease will in no way alter or limit the ability of the City Council to
determine who shall obtain future leases and the determining method. Nor does this give
Ms. Koerber any priority right to lease these spaces in 1999.
Does the Kenai City Council wish to enter into a lease for counter space in the Kenai
Airport Terminal with Ms. Bonnie Koerber?

Cities Win Unanimous Supreme Court Ruling
Local Elected Officials'Immunity Affirmed
3y frank Shakoth
T►-- nation's cities scored a
Sin ig win last week when a
una,_,nous U.S. Supreme Court
reversed a lower court and
granted municipal elected offi-
cdals frill immunity against lia-
bility lawsuits for proposing or
voting on municipal ordinances.
The victory provides municipal
elected leaders with the same
protections granted federal and
state legislators.
"Because the common law
accorded local legislators the
same absolute immunity it
accorded legislators at other lev-
els of government," Justice
Clarence Thomas said in speak-
ing for a unanimous court, "And
because the rationales for such
i immunity are fully applicable to
local l,�gislators, we now hold
that It wal legislators are likewise
imi n u i , e from suit under Section
1983 fur their legislative activi-
1983 liability for their legislative
activities."
The court, in its decision on
the case, Bogan v Scott -Harris,
"We now make explicit what was
implicit in our precedents: Local
legislators are entitled to absolute
immunity from Section 1983 liabili-
ty for their legislative activities."
Justice Clarence Thomas
ties. We now make explicit what
was implicit in our precedents:
Local legislators -are entitled to
-absolute immunity from Section
guaranteed to Senators, mem-
bers of Congress, and state legis-
lators when acting on legislative
issues before their governing
bodies. "Regardless of the level
of government, the exercise of
legislative discretion should not
be inhibited by judicial interfer
ence or distorted by the fear o
personal liability," the opinioi
declared.
" Ibday's ruling is a clear an(
welcome acknowledgment tha
elected municipal official)
shouldn't have to worry abou
being taken to court for trying t+
meet their responsibilities t
vote on public policy issues an
propose legislation as represer
ruled that the mayor and a coun- tatives of their community," sal
ci]member of Fall River Mass., NLC President Brian ONeil
were entitled to the same degree - See M 6, col.
of legislative immunity already
Immunity 6, m i
councilman of Philadelphia.
'here is nothing more chilling
to open debate and clear pursuit
of the public interest than the
prospect of retaliatory lawauits,
laden with legal fees and time-
consuming litigation. The
unequivocal message of our
nation's highest court on this
matter will assure that our city
halls and county courthouses
are open forums for elected lead-
ers to examine issues, discuss
ideas and cast votes as envi-
sioned by our founding fathers."
The case involved a lawsuit
filed by the head of a city
department who charged that a
city budget resolution voted on
by the council to eliminate the
department was a form of
administrative retaliation aris-
ing from other activities rather
than a legislative act. It raised
the issue of whether local gov-
ernment legislators are entitled
to absolute immunity under
Section 1983 when they vote on
a municipal ordinance. The low-
er federal court had acknowl-
edged that local legislators are
entitled to absolute immunity
for legislative acts, but held that
proposing and voting for an
ordinance can be deemed an
administrative act (which is not
immunized) if it "relate[s) to
particular individuals or atxua-
done
The case arose when the city
council of Fall River, Massachu-
setts, voted on a budget resolu-
tion that eliminated the position
of Janet ScowHarris as Direc-
tor of the City's Department of
Health and Human Services.
Scott -Harris sued under Section
1983, alleging that the ordi-
nance which eliminated her
position was proposed by the
Mayor, Daniel Bogan, and a
council member, Marilyn Roder-
ick, in retaliation for Scott-Har-
ne's having Mad a complaint
against another city employee
who was a tang time friend of
Bogen and Roderick. Notwith-
standing that the ordinance was
approved by a 6-2 vote, both the
U.S. district court and First U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals reject-
ed Bogan's and Roderick's
motion to dismiss on the ground
that they were entitled to leg-
islative immunity. In the view
of both courts, Bogan and Rod-
erick were not entitled to
absolute immunity, because the
ordinance was an individually
targeted administrative act and
not a neutral legislative act inci-
dentally resulting in the elimi-
nation of Scott -Harris' position.
The amwus brief NLC filed
through the State and Local
Legal Center argued that at the
time of Section 1983's enact-
ment it was a settled principle of
common law that local legisla-
tors were entitled to absolute
immunity for all discretionary
actions having a legislative
character. Moreover, absent
such immunity, local legislators
would be chilled in the perfor-
mance of their duties and dis-
tracted b : having to defend
themselves from lawsuits. Fur-
thermore. tie denial of absolute
immunity would deter other cit-
izens from government service.
Thus, the same considerations
which prompted the Court to
recognize in earlier cases that
federal, stare, and regional legis-
lators are entitled to absolute
immunity require that local leg-
islators receive absolute immu-
nity as well.
In its opinion, the cottrt
agreed: Absolute immunity for
local legislators under Section
1983 finds support not only in
history, btu also in reason ... The
rationales for according
absolute immunity to federal,
state, ana regional legislators
apply with equal force to local
legislators' Indeed, the court
made clear that immunity at
the municipal level might be
even more important than at
the state or federal level: 'The
time and energy required to
defend against a lawsuit are of
particular concern at the local
level, where the panne citi-
zen-legiskator remains common-
place.. -And the threat of liabili-
ty may significantly deter ser-
vice in local government, where
prestige and pecuniary rewards
may pale in comparison to the
threat of civil liability. -
What is a legislative act? Dif-
ferences between firing and ter-
minating an employee.
The NLC brief further
argued that court of appeals'
test, which focuses on the
breadth of the impact of the leg-
islation, is insupportable. Local
legislators act in a legislative
capacity whenever they propose
and vote on legislation, regard-
less of whether the legislation
applies to a narrow subject or
limited number of people. The
policy concerns which underlie
legislative immunity apply to all
legislation irrespective of its
scope.
In its decision. the Supreme
Court said that whether an act
is legislative "turns on the
nature of the act, rather than
the motive or intent of the offi-
cial performing it." The court's
opinion made clear that
absolute immunity would mean
little if a jury could look behind
every vote to question a coun-
cilmember s motive_ The court
specifically determined that the
acts in question - both by the
councilmember and the mayor -
were legislative. The court said
that the councilmember s vote
on the ordinance was `quintes-
sentially legislative," while the
mayor's introduction and sign-
ing of the ordinance was formal-
ly legislative, even though he
was an excecutive official: they
"were integral steps in the leg-
islative process."
The court said the ordinance
reflected a "discretionary, policy -
making decision implicating
budgetary priorities of the city
and the services the city pro-
vides to its constituents. More-
over, it involved the termination
of a position, which, unlike the
hiring or firing of a particular
employee, may have prospective
implications that reach well -
beyond the particular occupant
of the office.

KENAI CITY CLERK
The Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (DOT/PF) is responsible for establishing
speed limits on state highways. In January, we received a copy of a letter from Chief of Police
Daniel Morris to George Church, our Area Maintenance Superintendent requesting lower speed
zones on Bridge Access Road. George forwarded his letter to me for action.
Bridge Access Road was originally posted at 55 miles per hour between Kenai Spur Road and
Kalifornsky Beach Road. In response to Chief Morris' concerns, we recently made the following
posted speed limit revisions:
Roadway/Segment
Segment Length
Kenai Spur Rd. to Tern St. 900 Feet
Tern St. to Port Kenai Rd. 4,280 Feet
Port Kenai Rd. to Kalifornsky Beach Rd. 12,150 Feet
A sketch showing the speed limit revisions is enclosed.
Speed Limit Revision
From 55 MPH to 35 MPH
From 55 MPH to 45 MPH
55 MPH (Unchanged)
We have made some minor revisions to the Chief Morris' recommendations but have retained the
concept of a 35 MPH/45 MPH transitional speed limit on Bridge Access Road approaching
Kenai Spur Road. I am confident that these speed limit reductions will address your concerns. If
you have any questions please contact me at 269-0639.

Please accept my sincere appreciation and compliments to you and Mr. Dave Burnett on the
exceptional treatment afforded the Alaska Fire Chiefs Association during their Spring Conference in
Juneau.
Even applying to those of us in State government, fire service folks are more inclined toward the
rescue of people rather than programs. The latter requires patience, politics, and posturing, non of
which is in the makeup or interest of most fire chiefs. It is clearly a different game on a different field,
requiring very different skills. I would like to think that in three years I have developed some ability
to operate in the arena, but clearly there is a lot more to learn. I tip my hat to a true professional.
I continue to caution the Chiefs against being too hopeful of seeing their requests come to fruition this
session. Irrespective of the outcome, however, I remain astonished at the political mileage the
Association received during their Spring Conference, due in large part to your efforts, and for that we
are all very grateful.
Thank you again Mayor Williams, for your considerable efforts and gracious hospitality.

KENAI C1iY CLEY `.( I
We are responding to the Alaska Children s Trust RFP FY99 for the Central Kenai Peninsula
area. As Administrator/Special Educator, I am requesting a letter of support for FCS/Early
Intervention's proposal. Our proposal, an expansion of our services, is to hire a .75FTE Case
Manager/Behavioral Specialist for the prevention and intervention of child abuse and neglect.
Your support indicates a commitment for continued community collaboration among agencies
involved with families and children.
The National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect Federal Study in 1991 reported that in 86% of
cases involved, children with disabilities are maltreated at 1.7 times the rate of other children.
Our community needs to have systems in place for the prevention of child abuse and neglect. We
recognize that challenging behaviors are difficult for families. Rather than wait for a crisis,
FCS/EI's proposes, Child's Play an educational and supportive service for parent (s) and foster
parent (s) who have children birth to five with challenging behaviors that are at risk for abuse
and neglect. Children identified for Child's Play are those diagnosed or suspected of
ADD/ADHD, FAS and FAE, and those exposed or tested positive for cocaine and other related
drugs. Please refer to the enclosed Project Abstract for a review of our proposal.
To reach our goals and to continue to provide quality services, we need your letter of support for
our proposal to be included in the Alaska Children's Trust RFP FY99 grant. Please address your
letter of fax to my attention by March 30, 1998.
Thank you for your time and support. I am looking forward to discussing our proposal with
you.
For your information, we received the Mental Health Trust grant for our computers.

Dear .John,
March 12, 1998
I am writing to solicit your opinion on an issue with significant implications to the future
of Alaska. The Republican Majority is preparing to cut another $50 million dollars from
the general fund operating budget. The low price of oil is also requiring a major drawdown
from the Constitutional Budget Reserve Fund.
I have heard from various individuals and groups that continued, and in some cases
additional, state support is critical to meet the common needs of regular Alaskans.
Members of the Republican Majority are preparing to deposit approximately $1 billion
dollars of undistributed earnings (this is money left over after paying out dividends and
inflation proofing) back into the corpus of the Permanent Fund. My question to you and
your organization is:
"Should the Alaska State Legislature exercise its discretion and use the money produced
by our Permanent Fund investments to support community needs such as education or
deposit the approximately $1 billion dollars back into the corpus of the fund to increase
individual dividends?"
Your opinion is important to me. Please circulate this solicitation to the members of your
organization for discussion. I would greatly appreciate a response (resolution, letter, etc.)
as soon as possible.
Sincerely,

Volume 2 No. 1 March 1998
A PUBLICATION OF THE STATE OF ALASKA DIVISION OF ELECTIONS
Sarah Lupro canvasses votes,
recalls turbulent election history
Sarah Lupro remembers the good old days and she
says she's glad they no longer exist. "A few years
ago it took us more than two weeks to certify rural
school board elections. Now it takes barely one
week," she says.
The "us" to whom she refers is the State Review
Board, the group that gathers in the director's
conference room in Juneau after unofficial retums
from an election —any election administered by the
Division of Elections —come in. The board's job is to
certify or to "make certain" (the Latin root for the
word) the results are accurate.
Sarah was baptized into the process in 1966 following
the November general election that saw Walter J. Hickel
,eat incumbent Govemor Bill Egan by 1,080 votes. A
week after the election, when the margin between the
two dipped to 843 votes and results from four Bush
precincts were still unaccounted for, there was talk of a
(Continued on page 4)
Division pushes for -X
optical scanning ballot
tabulation
Twenty years ago when Alaska had four time zones and ballots
in statewide elections were hand counted everywhere except
Anchorage, Fairbanks and Juneau, people interested in hearing
election returns might wait all night for information.
What a difference a few years make.
This year if the state purchases optical scanning ballot tabula-
tion equipment, 85 per cent of the votes cast in Alaska's 1998
primary and general elections will be tabulated shortly after the
polls close.
"Speed is not as important as accuracy and integrity in an
election but this new system will provide the best of all three,"
says the Division of Elections' administrative officer, Dana
LaTour.
LaTour organized the effort to acquire the optical scanning
equipment, writing the Request for Proposal that culminated
last month in the division's issuing a notice of intent to award a
contract to Global Election Systems of McKinney, Texas..
The price tag for Alaska's optical scanning package is $2
million in a lease -purchase agreement over the next 6-8 years.
"Three important benefits to the system are faster tabulation,
quicker results and the production of a ballot form that is easier
than the one we now use for voters to mark," LaTour says.

ments on the general election ballot.
Advance by -mail ballots will be
forwarded by June 26 to overseas
voters for the primary election. The
last day to register to vote for the
primary election is July 26. The last
day the division may accept an
absentee by -mail ballot application

Message from the Director
We're now into a major election year. All across the state, voters are aware
that 1998 is a year they go to the polls to elect public officials.
In this issue of Election News, I'd like to comment on a subject related to
voters with special needs, and elaborate on a subject I discussed last
November regarding the tabulation of bailots.
People who are sick, or people whose physical limitations make it impos-
sible for them to get to a precinct to vote. must not be disenfranchised.
We're asking legislators to this year streamline the process that allows
these people to vote by personal representative.
The law now requires a personal representative to make five trips either to
the voter or elsewhere to complete the voting process. Signatures are
required in seven places on the combined oath and affidavit and application
envelope that are a part of this voting process. The major reason we reject
ballots voted through a personal representative —and we rejected 15 percent
of them in 1996—is that one or more of these signatures is missing.
We've proposed legislation that requires fewer signatures and reduces the
number of trips. It also requires the personal representative to offer identifi-
cation for tracking purposes. Both changes will help guarantee that ballots
voted by people who are ill or have other limitations will be counted.
As you will note in stories on page 1, we hope very much to acquire new
ballot tabulation equipment forthis years primary and general elections.
One story describes the process we're going through to acquire the equip-
ment and expands on the benefits to voters of optical scanning tabulation;
the second story, featuring our friend Sarah Lupro, chronicles the history of
ballot tabulation during elections over tt'e past 30 years.
The past always leads to the future. When we pay attention to what hap-
pened in years past, we make good decisions ahead.
This year let's pay special attention to helping Alaskan voters.

Election News
Meet Carol Thompson,
Region II Supervisor
Carol Thompson
She drives from the Matanuska-Susitna Borough into the state's most
urban and populous center —Anchorage —every workday to supervise
election activities. She enjoys spacious and mountainous living because
it reminds her of Montana, where she grew up, but Carol Thompson also
likes the hustle and bustle involved in organizing and running elections.
After graduating from high school in the small Montana town of Libby,
Carol traveled to Nebraska, then Texas, and in 1984, arrived in Alaska.
She did a little of this and a little of that, and in 1990 became a clerk in
the Region II (Anchorage) elections office. Her enthusiasm for the
election process enabled her to work her way up the ranks to adminis-
trative assistant, and in 1993 she was appointed regional supervisor.
Located in the Dimond Mall, her office is a busy place. More than half
the state's 400.000 plus voters live in her region. There are 19 different
house districts, which contain 139 precincts, in an area that encom-
passes both Anchorage and the Mat -Su Borough. She likes the
Dimond Center offices because there is ample parking for the public
registering to vote or coming to vote early. "Our office generates a
tremendous amount of public contact across the state because we are
located in greater Anchorage," she says.
(Continued on page 6)
Division -backed legislation
advances; legislators
introduce bills on initiative
petitions
More than 418,000 people are 18 years or older
and therefore eligible to vote in Alaska, according
to statistics from the state Department of Labor.
The Division of Elections has 438,925 registered
voters. Who are the almost 20,000 extra voters?
Some of them are dead, although the division is
able to track deaths with a certain degree of
accuracy. Some of them have moved out-of-state,
and the division, through a variety of resources,
has been tracking them, too. But maintaining an
accurate voter registration list is an almost
impossible task, in large part because of the
requirements of the National Voter Registration
Act of 1993.
House Bill; 259 and Senate Bill 185, which
establish a voter list maintenance procedure that
follows NVRA guidelines but permits removal of
inactive voters, have moved from State Affairs
Committe-es to Finance Committees for review.
"We're encouraged that the State Affairs Commit-
tees were receptive and believe all legislators
understand the important reasons for keeping
voter lists accurate," said Gail Fenumiai, the
division's;egislabve liaison.
The League of Women Voters, statewide, has
offered suoport for House Bill 257 and Senate Bill
183, division umbrella legislation that corrects
election-reiated procedures in a number of areas.
The Leaoue testified last month in support of
provisions related to voting by personal represen-
tative, citing guidelines, in particular, that offer
safeguares against fraud. (League spokespeople
also agreee that legislation is necessary to
address voter list maintenance.)
HB257 and SB183 also recommend minor
changes to the state's Official Election Pamphlet,
and require the division to conduct some REAA
and CRSA elections by mail.
Rep. Kim ;]ton (D-Juneau) and Sen. Bert Sharp
(R-FairbanKs) have introduced legislation this
session related to initiative petition signature
gathering. Eilton's HB413 would limit payment to
persons Y.-no collect signatures, among other
requirements, and Sharp's SB313, which also
speaks to sponsor payment, would, in addition,.
repeal the 30-day supplementary petition period.

Verifying petition signatures:
a long and wearying process
It's a job that causes eyes to blur, especially during dark
winter days. But since late December of this past year, six
temporary employees at the Division of Elections, plus
regular staff, have been reviewing, one by one, thousands of
signature squiggles in dog-eared books to see if they match
information located in the state's voter registration rolls.
Ten percent (24,521) of the number that voted in the 1996
general election must sign an initiative petition in order for it
to qualify for placement on a statewide ballot. Voters who
sign their names to a petition must also represent two-thirds
of the state's 40 election districts. These are requirements
by law. and if these requirements are met, Lt Governor Fran
Ulmer will certify the petition for ballot placement.
She has certified two petitions since the process began in
December: 97BILL —"An Act relating to billboards" and
97ENGL — "An initiative adopting English as the official
language of Alaska." Both will be placed on the November
1998 general election ballot.
Three petitions filed lacked sufficient signatures to qualify for
certification. Under state law, the division extended a 30-day
period for sponsors to correct deficiencies if they so desired.
These petitions were 97EDUC, an advisory measure advocat-
ing an educational endowment; 97TRAP, a petition that
would ban the use of snares in trapping wolves; and
97TERM, a petition that would allow incumbents and chal-
lengers for congressional and legislative seats to pledge
voluntarily to r:wit their tenures. At press time, verification
was still underway on 97PSDM, a bill that would allow
patients to use marijuana for certain medical purposes.
Active petitions that did not meet the January 12 deadline for
placement on this year's ballot will be placed on the ballot in
2000—if they are submitted with the appropriate number of
signatures within the statutory one-year deadline.
Lt. Governor Ulmer had certified applications for nine initiative
petitions by mid -November, a record number to be in circula-
tion in Alaska.
Management of the process is a Division of Elections
responsibility. Verifying sponsor signatures before an applica-
tion is certified, printing petition booklets, maintaining
contact with sponsors through accountability reports, and
finally, verifying voter signatures in the booklets is a job that
requires diligent attention to detail and an understanding of
stringent rules.
Computer software that allows the division to maintain
records for every registered voter in the state (VREMS) also
allows the division to verify signatures. But every single name
must be entered into the system manually in order for
VREMS to check it.
before and is a student at the University of Alaska South-
east, has entered 1,500 signatures a day on a good day.
"That's when I can read them all. Legibility plays a major role
in this job, " she says. "I'm going to think twice about the
importance of writing my name nice and neat on an officiL
paper from now on. It really helps people who have to figure
out who I am."
The rules say the division may accept a signature if the
printed name is not included but not a printed name without
a signature. When VREMS won't allow an entry to "pass,"
Sarah and her co-workers begin manual searches.
"We check the name against an address, we check middle
names, we check parts of a hyphenated name," she said. If
an entry lists a social security or voter number, searching is
easier. This particular information is confidential, however,
and therefore available only to those working on election -
related projects like these. The purpose of detailed checking
is to give every entry the benefit of the doubt as to eligibility.
The Division of Elections has 60 days from the date of filing
to complete signature verification. The process stops as
soon as the required number of signatures for certification
has been verified even if additional booklets of signatures
have not been reviewed. Statistics suggest that petition
sponsors should submit approximately 20 percent more
signatures than are required because that same percentage
will be disqualified.
So what keeps the staff going as it slogs through 175,00r
signatures to see if the people who scribbled their name;
a piece of paper are really who they say they are? Coffee?
Candy? Camaraderie? No doubt, some of each.
Plus the knowledge that except for counting the very last
supplementals, it will all be over with by spring.
Sarah Lupro, continued..
recount. That didn't happen as Hickel's lead increased again,
and counting officials breathed a sigh of relief.
In 1974, dramatic events in the governor's race included a
recount of 60,000 computer ballots by hand followed by a
recount of all ballots for govemor by hand by special count-
ing teams during the period the certification team was also
counting. At the conclusion of all counting, Jay Hammond
was -declared the winner by 365 votes over Egan, who had
been elected governor again in 1970.
The 1978 primary election contest between Governor
Hammond and former Governor Hickel-20 years ago this
August —was even more dramatic. After all absentee and
questioned ballots had been tallied, Hammond led Hickel by
37 votes. Charges and counter -charges about the legality of
532 absentee ballots cast in Prudhoe Bay was a first
controversial issue to surface. Certification, proceeding o-
schedule, designated Hammond the winner on the Repu
can side with 96 votes over Hickel, and Chancy Croft, the
winner on the Democratic side with 260 votes over Ed
Merdes.
Sarah Finley, who has worked as a temporary for the division
;Continued on page 5)

Sarah Lupro, continued..
A recount of all primary election ballots-108,000 of them —
was requested and took place. At approximately the same
time more than 200 uncounted questioned ballots from the
Palmer area were found in the bottom of a cabinet in the
Anchorage elections office, apparently overlooked when
election materials were moved to Juneau for counting. The
question that officials had to consider in this instance was
could these ballots be counted when a recount of all ballots
and certification of the election itself had already taken
place.
On October 3 the Alaska State Supreme Court appointed
Superior Court Judge Ralph Moody as a "special master' to
analyze the evidence in an appeal filed by both Hickel and
Merdes. Suits to force the state to conduct a new primary
election were also filed. On October 14 Moody called for a
new primary election. The next question was could that
election legally be held before the November 7 general
election. By this time, 260,000 voter information pamphlets,
showing Hammond and Croft as the primary election win-
ners, had been printed as well as ballots for the general
election.
On October 20 the Supreme Court unanimously reversed the
decision to rerun the primary barring a successful appeal to
the federal courts or a change in the primary election
outcome after the 247 misplaced ballots were counted.
"There were no such numerous serious violations as to
permeate the entire election process so as to require the
extreme remedy of a new election," stated the court.
In its decision, the court allowed the absentee ballots from
Prudhoe Bay and the 247 misplaced ballots, commenting in
remarks directed towards the latter that each ballot was
contained within two sealed envelopes and no apparent
tampering had taken place.
Thus, two months after the August 22. 1978 primary elec-
tion, a final vote was certified showing Hammond the winner
over Hickel by 98 votes. Governor Hammond then went on to
defeat Chancy Croft in the general election that almost
immediately followed.
Sarah Lupro was involved in recounts or canvassing in all
these elections and well remembers the chaos and confu-
sion.
There have been other close elections since these historic
election -year contests. Only last fall, the Gustavus incorpo-
ration election teetered one way, then fell the other. Before
absentee votes were counted, incorporation votes were
ahead by four. After absentees were tallied, the issue went
down to defeat by two.
It has not been close elections that Sarah found disquieting
during the almost 40 years she has served as a judge or
member of the review board although close elections obvi-
ously create tension for the canvassing group responsible for
totaling the final count. It was inefficiencies and weaknesses
Election News
in the system that made canvassing difficult.
"Election -board training in our Alaskan villages has made a
huge difference in reaucing the amount of work we have to
do, which is making sure the number of votes equals the
number of voters and that the rules are followed. Computer
ballot counting and good forms have helped, too. As a result,
local election boards all over the state know what they're
doing these days," she says.
"There were no rules at first about computer counting, and
accusations were made (especially in 1974) that it had been
done improperly," Sarah remembers. "Since then, laws and
strict guidelines regarding computer counting have been put
in place, and the process itself has been perfected. A lot of
the criticism early on was simply that people were skepti-
cal."
Money wasn't available until the 1970s to train boards
outside Alaska's metropolitan areas, says Patty Ann Polley,
a former director of the division. Now, the division's regional
supervisors and staff routinely visit Bush villages each
election year to make sure local boards know how to run an
election. (Editor's Note: See JoAnne Hufman feature
story, Election News, November 1997, page 6.)
Polley says it is computers that have truly made counting
ballots an efficient process, however. "Computers are the
difference between night and day in tallying votes accu-
rately," she says. At present, 70 percent of Alaska's
statewide election ballots are counted by computer, 30
percent are still hand counted.
"Before computers," says Sarah, "we never knew how figures
would come to us. And we'd have election results spread all
over the floor because we couldn't fit the papers on tables.
This is where better fcrms helped solve some of the prob-
lems."
Sarah says she's stayed involved all these years simply
because she enjoys n. She likes participating in the process
and she likes the fellowship with the division staff and other
board members, several of whom have been around a long
time, too. "It's certainty not the money," she says. "That
hardly pays for the meter."
The challenge of putting the different types of votes —this
includes absentee anc questioned votes —together, accu-
rately, without any dcubt, to be sure that the person who
receives the most is the winner interests her.
She also enjoys training new board members. "When you've
been around as long as I have you know what to do and that
can be helpful to a new person who feels overwhelmed by the
responsibility associa-.ed with ballot certification."
Sarah was bom and reared in Juneau. She has four grown
children and seven grandchildren. She served on the state's
cancer board for many years, and now she gardens, reads
and studies genealogy. "I study my own family history, but I
also help people who vivant to know how to begin their own
family research. It's fascinating work," she says. "Just like
elections."

Carol Thompson, continued..
During an election year, Carol's office recruits and trains
more than 800 election workers and absentee voting officials
while also supervising a staff that grows from four to 10.On
the day of the 1996 general election, 800 people came to the
absentee voting station in the Dimond Center to vote. Carol
works with the largest election numbers in Alaska in an area
where 99 percent of the vote is machine counted.
Her job involves finding polling places for people to vote,
providing them with ballots, establishing early voting loca-
tions, counting the ballots on election night, reviewing
approximately 30,000 absentee and questioned ballots in a
10-day period, and supervising recounts of elections that
take place in her region.
She handles all aspects of voter registration in Region II,
including registering voters forthe first time; updating
address, party and name changes; and removing from the
rolls voters who have registered in other states or have died.
While supervisors in the state's three other regions travel
frequently to small communities to train election workers,
Carol is able to hold most of her training in the Municipality
of Anchorage Loussac Library assembly chambers, doing it
in large groups.
The continual challenge for the Region II office is administer-
ing and maintaining the 221,109 voter registration records in
the area. "We're always challenged to keep current on the
voter registration records due to the high activity level in our
region and because the area is continually growing," Carol
says. In 1996, the Region II office received 76,510 voter
registration applications.
Carol's office works closely with municipal clerks in Anchor-
age and the Mat -Su Borough. "We maintain polling places
together and share election -worker irformaton plus voting
equipment.' she says. "The relatiorsnip I share with the
municipal clerks is important to me and I enjoy and appreci-
ate working with them."
At the end of the workday Carol locates her car in the huge
Dimond Center parking lot, gets on the freeway, and drives
home to the valley she loves. "We have dogs and flowers and
I like that and so does my family," she says. She's married
and has three children.
"Where I grew up we planted corn and we had apple trees.
We'd swap apples for cherries and plums," she says. "My
folks raised cattle, we had horses, we grew oats, did our own
canning, made pickles. I love the Mat -Su Borough because
of its country atmosphere."
At 34, she feels she's coming into her age. "I feel good-
natured about life," she says. "I love my work and try to be of
service in it, and I like where I live an&what that means to
me, my husband and kids. Alaska has turned out to be a
good place to settle down."

Candidates and political parties should pay close attention to
calendar deadlines, notes election coordinator, Barbara
Whiting, since they are responsible for submitting specific
information to the division by particular times. For instance,
July 15 is the deadline for both parties and candidates to
submit information for inclusion in the state's O>ricial Elec-
tion Pamphlet, published in the fall. She refers candidates to
the Filing for Office handbook, available either at division
offices or on the intennet.
"We will appreciate everyone's being alert to our calendar
requirements," Whiting said. "Organizing an election is not
unlike organizing a wedding, and most of us know how
complicated weddings become. With an election, however,
there are strict rules to follow and no opportunity to change
your mind."
Optical Scanning, continued..
Voters insert ballots into a slot in the top of a sealed box -like
piece of equipment called the Accu-Vote ES-2000. There, at
the precinct level, the ballots are scanned and counted.
When the polls close. the precinct totals are printed imm
ately, transferred by rnodem to a counting center where thty
are accumulated, and released to the public.
"The ES-2000 is a total voting system featuring management
control of the voting process from ballot preparation to
verification of results.' LaTour says.
Approximately 35 percent of registered voters in the country
now vote on optical scanning equipment, which is replacing
punch cards (such as Alaska uses), electronic recording and
voting with lever machines, three other basic kinds of ballot
tabulation, due to its reliability and efficiency, she noted.
"Optical scanning will also allow us to expand computer
counting into communities that still hand count ballots,"
LaTour said. "This would include Barrow/Browerville,
Kotzebue, Nome, Dillingham, Bethel, Petersburg, Haines,
Cordova, Big Delta and Delta Junction."
It also will allow the division to have ballots printed in state.
The Division of Elections spends $500,000 on ballots in a
statewide election year. That money could now stay in
Alaska.
Two years ago this November Rep. Pete Kott (R-Eagle RivPr)
waited and waited for returns to come in from his Eagle F
district in the Anchorage bowl. Boxes of computer cards
bearing information he wanted to know had been delivered to
Continued on page 7)

Optical Scanning, continued..
the counting center early in the evening. Why wasn't he
searing anything from Election Central?
Computer counting has remarkably improved the tabulation
of ballots (Editor's Note: See Sarah Lupro story, page 1.),
but hang-ups still exist, and a problem obviously existed for
Kott. At 2:45 a.m.—the day after the election —when he
finally learned he was the winner, he asked why it had taken
so long to know that.
The answer was, "First in, last out." Ballot computer cards
are processed at counting centers as they come in, so the
box on top is counted first. Boxes from Kott's district,
brought in early and therefore near the bottom of the pile,
were the last to be tallied.
This experience would not happen if ballots were tabulated
by optical scanning.
Right after the polls close, the precinct tabulator produces a
report of the votes tallied. That information is sent by modem
to the accumulation site. Poll workers still secure paper
ballots in a sealed box and deliver them to regional election
offices. But long before the ballots reach this destination, the
results of the election have been announced because the
modem gets it there first.
Election News
Pete Kott says he believes the new system is "user-friendly"
for both voters and candidates running for office. "It takes
time for ballots to be transmitted to a counting center where
they then wait their turn to be tabulated. Optical scanning
eliminates that problem entirely."
LaTour outlines the process this way:
"We still have paper ballots, which are a source document
necessary for canvassing and possible recounts. We have a
tape that's run as soon as the polls close. We have results
from modem transmission which will match the tape which
will match the ballots. We also will have an audit of every
transaction occurring with the precinct tabulator from the
time the memory card is loaded until the election itself is
certified. That's why we have total management control of the
voting process with optical scanning."
LaTour adds that while the division's ability to get the system
in place for the 1998 elections is dependent on legislative
funding, "that doesn't mean we won't conduct the elections
accurately and efficiently if we don't get the money. Of
course we will. We have to."
But, having worked for the division many years, LaTour, like a
doctor, knows what makes the patient tick. "It's time to move
on and to offer voters the best service available on election
day. Optical scanning ballot tabulation is a major step in that
direction. We believe the legislature will agree."

SUBJECT: 1997 Police Activities Report
Attached is the Annual Police Activities Report for 1997. This report includes statistics for a
three year period (1995-1997) for comparison purposes.
During 1997 calls for service increased by 3.5% and reported crimes increased 8%. The 8%
increase can be attributed to an increase in traffic enforcement which resulted in more traffic
misdemeanor charges and warrant arrests.
Although total arrests are up juvenile arrests went down 21 %.
I expect 1998 to be a busy year but I can't foresee any drastic change :n activity.

1997 POLICE ACTIVITIES REPORT
REQUEST FOR POLICE SERVICE IINVE TI ATION
Requests for police services increased 3.5% in 1997. Criminal offenses represented 40% of the
total request for services, which is the historical average.

CRIMINAL OFFENSES
Criminal offense statistics are separated into three categories, which correspond with the system
used by the State of Alaska and the Federal Uniform Crime Report (LCR).
Part I Offenses
Homicide, rape, robbery. assaults. burglary, larceny and vehicle theft.
1995 1996 1997
753 721 772
The majority of Part I crimes investigated in 1997 were property crimes. Part I crime increased
7% between 1996 and 1997. Assaults were up 12% in 1997. This increase may be a result of
new legislation and increased publicity regarding domestic assault. Thefts increased 5% in 1997.
Reported rapes and robberies increased but because of the small numbers the percentages can
fluctuate greatly each year.
Part II Offenses
Arson, fraud, vandalism, drugs, disorderly conduct and sex offenses (other than rare (.
995 1996 1997
1416 1436 1373
This category represents half of all reported crime. There was a 4% decrease between 1996 and
1997.
Part III Offenses
Criminal traffic offenses (except DW'D and warrants.
995 1996 1997
458 371 584
There was a 57% increase in 1997. This increase is directly related to an increase in traffic
enforcement. During 1997 the department received an Alaska Highwav Safety Grant to fund
overtime for traffic enforcement.

1997 POLICE ACTIVITIES REPORT
ARRESTS
Table 2 represents the number of arrests in each category of crime. _Arrests are not always an
accurate measure of activity for the following reasons:
1. One arrest can clear multiple offenses.
2. Multiple arrests can clear one crime.
3. Warrants issued for an offense committed in Kenai and served in another jurisdiction are
not always counted.
4. Warrant arrests made by Kenai police officers committed elsewhere are included in the
Part III category.
In 1997 there were 1243 arrests, compared to 1115 in 1996.
During 1997, there was a 7% increase in Part I crime arrests. Assault and theft arrests account
for most of that increase. Domestic assault arrests increased 26% in i 997.
Part II crime arrests decreased 16% while Part III crime arrests increased 51 %.
JUVENILE ARRESTS
Juvenile arrests decreased 21% in 1997.

Traffic collisions and resulting injuries are impacted by several factors. Factors include weather,
road conditions, traffic density, traffic law enforcement and seatbelt use.
During 1997 our traffic enforcement efforts were based on traffic collisions and statistics which
identified the time, date and location of areas with the highest number of collisions.
Enforcement focused on excessive speed, DWI, and seatbelt use. The local media cooperated by
providing public service announcements and articles regarding traffic safety.
Traffic collision investigations revealed that 88% of vehicle occupants involved in collisions
reported using seatbelts.
During 1997 one traffic collision resulted in two fatalities when a motorcycle travelling at high
speed ran into the rear of a car.

D.A.R.E.
4
The Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) program continues to receive support from the
children, parents, teachers, and administrators involved in the program. The Youth Services
officer presents the program to six 5th grade classes at Mountain View Elementary School. The
program teaches the children how to resist drugs and other illegal activity. Approximately 25 to
30 percent of the Youth Services officer's time is spent with the D.A.R.E. program.
In the fall of 1995, the department began instructing a follow-up D.A.R.E. program to the 7th
grade students at the Kenai Middle School. This program reinforces lessons taught at the 5th
grade level.
Police Explorers
In 1993 the Kenai Chapter of the Alaska Peace Officers Association started a Police Explorers
program in cooperation with the Boy Scouts. Local high school students interested in law
enforcement careers participate in the program. Officers from the Kenai and Soldotna Police
Departments and the Alaska State Troopers provide the training and coordinate the program.
After the students complete the basic training, they are able to assist local police agencies with
minor tasks.
Bicycle Safety
During 1997 the Kenai Police Department, Boys & Girls Club, Kenai Recreation Department,
and K-Mart cooperated to obtain a State Highway Safety Grant for bicycle safety. The grant was
used to purchase and disseminate 200 bicycle helmets and conduct several bicycle safety rodeos.
Other Programs
During 1997 officers have provided crime prevention presentations on a variety of subjects
including: home security, robbery prevention, drug use, motor vehicle laws and bicycle safety.
The East Aliak Neighborhood Watch Program continues to interact ,vith the police department.
In 1997 officers served on the advisory boards of the Women's Resource Crisis Center, Drug
Free Schools Committee, Domestic Violence Task Force, E-911 advisory board, Cook Inlet
Council on Drugs and Alcohol, Kenai Care Center, statewide law enforcement committees, and
Kenai Youth Court.
A mutually beneficial working relationship exists between the police department and the
educational/social service providers in the community.
1997 POLICE ACTIVITIES REPORT
COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT
The communications department provides critical services to the police and fire departments.
Their duties include: answering emergency and administrative calls for public safety; radio
operation for public safety and public works; data entry; typing all written and taped reports,
interviews and interrogations; use of the state and national crime computer systems and
monitoring water and sewer alarm systems.
The communications department employs 8 personnel including the dispatch supervisor. It
usually takes 3-6 months to train a new dispatcher to function on their own.
SUMMARY
In 1997, demands for police services increased slightly. Although there was a decrease in
juvenile arrests, total arrests were up due to an increase in traffic enforcement contacts.
Several major crime investigations combined with the normal case load has diverted more case
follow-up from the investigations unit to patrol. If we see an increase in the case load this year,
the result will be less follow-up on misdemeanor cases and less traffic enforcement.
In past years the additional investigations officer was used to conduct undercover drug
operations. In 1997 drug investigations were minimal. However, Kenai Police Department
officers assisted Troopers with several cases which resulted in the arrest of some major drug
dealers in the central peninsula area.
The new computer hardware and records management software has been installed. The training
will be completed in February and the system should be in use by mid -.March.
In 1998, the Kenai Police Department and Communications Department will continue to strive to
provide the best possible services to the citizens of Kenai and remain responsive to community
needs.

Enclosed please find a copy of the February 23, 1998, letter seat to Phil Smith,
Fedeial 1-Ughway Admuristratioc�, on behalf of Friends and Neighbors of the Kenai River, a group
of property owners and cm =zd citizens who have serious questions and concerns about the EIS
for the Kenai River Bridge crossing, Sterling kitghway to Funny River Road, Kenai Peninsuh
Borough., Alaska, Project No. RS-0485(1)/57239, Final Environmental Impact Sit and
Final Sea= IV(f) Evaluation.
One of the main concerns is the inadequacy of notice given for comment_ Notice
was published only recently the local paper (Peninsula Clarion). Thus, many local area residents
and concerned citizens never received notice of the EIS and proposed findings. Further, it was
published at a period of time when many of the property owners, who are from out of the area
and the State, were also not able to receive notice and anopportunity tD comment
There is no doubt that the Kenai River is one of the jewels of the State— Any
development of the River should be undeatakea only after the issues and concerns are dxnmghly
addressed. A notice and comment period timed so that the affected citizens and property owners
have no effective opportunity to comment flies in the face of responsible resource utilization and
developu=L Accordingly, we ask that you use your best efforts to obtain an extension of the
comment period.
Very truly yours,

This office has been retained to represent the Friends and Neighbors of the Kenai
River, Inc., a nonprofit organization comprised of concerned property owners along the Kenai
River. This letter is a formal request for an extension of time to extend the public comment
period on the Kenai River Bridge crossing, Sterling Highway to Funny River Road, Kenai
Peninsula Borough, Alaska, Project No. RS-0495(1)/57239, Fi al Environmental Impact
Statement and Fowl Section IV(f) Evaluation, which is currently set to expire on March 3, 1998.
Although the report was approved on December 10, 1997, copies of the Final Environmental
Impact Statement and Final Section IV (f) Evaluation were apparently not mailed out to affected
residents and property owners until January 10, 1998. Additionally, it has become apparent that
not all of the individuals affected by this project or who have expressed an interest in this project
have received sufficient notification.
A sig>ificatu percentage of the property owners adjacent to the preferred alternative
location are summer recreational users, many of which live out of the area and out of state.
Publication of the notice in the local Kenai paper and having the comment period run when many
Property owners are W around to receive notice or comment appears to run contrary to the spirit
and intent of the notice requirements.
Considering that the majority of the individuals affected by this project or who have
expressed an interest in this project have apparently not received sufficient notification of the Final
avnu mental Impact Statement w)d Final Section IV(f) Evaluation Comment period on the report
itself, when combined with the very minimal advertisement in the local paper (Peninsula Clarion),

I believe that an extension of time to respond with comments to the Final Environmental Impact
Statement is not only appropriate but required to comply with the required public comment period
requirements.
An eaten on of the public comment period is necessary to adequately address the
environmental, social and safety issues raised by the Final Environmental Impact Statement, that
the Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Mminis=on have failed to
sufficiently address for example:
• The report has not addressed or dealt with the future loss of Chinook salmon
habitat as a result of the bridge construction at its current proposed site. this
would include problems associated with sedimentation of the ling salmon spawning
beds as a result of changes in the hydrology and river flow due to the three piers
planted in the middle of the Chinook salmon spawning area.
• The report uadequawly addresses the fact that the most severe bank trampling and
vegetation loss has occurred at public access sites (boat launches and road
accessible sites) and at commercial use sites such as r=eational vehicle and. fishing
camps located adjacent to the river. These intensively used sites support hundreds
Of thousands of recreational users who access the river at these locations. In fact,
many commercial business use these locations as a pick up and drop off point for
clients or to launch and retrieve their boats. These types of public access sites are
severely denuded along the banks from foot traffic and boat score associated with
boat tie-ups.
• Why is prime ply being ceder coed and important wetlands filled when there
are public lands close by which are considered to be an acceptable alternative
location for the bridge?
• The factual and scientific information relied upon in the IIS is outdated and needed
to be supplemented with new facts and data.
• River bank vegetation along the Kenai River is importaam for a variety of masons,
including bank stability, shoreline vegetation serves to bind the soils to the bank
to reduce erosion, vegetation also reduces the overland surface flows during the
inevitable flood and retards the soil robbing effects of waveslapping and wake
action that undermine the shoreline as a result of the anticipated increased boat
traffic along this section of the river as a result of both the bridge construction and
the proposed boat launch facility. Vegetation -density is an important component
of the fish habitat.

• The Keaai River is constantly moving substrate material down gradient. As
sediments and eroded material are deposited into the river mainstream, increased
water velocities associated with the river's high water periods move this material
down stream. Although the bedload transport helps maintain the river's
equilibrium and reduces the potential excess of erosion, this equilibrium would be
severely altered by the installation of the three support piers proposed by the bridge
construction site. As a result, the river will deposit its bedload at the Iesser
velocities behind the three piers. In addition, the affect of the piers would also
change the flow rates on both sides of the river_ This can result in an increase m
erosion further down stream or even on the banks directly below the proposed
bridge side. This type of proposed structure being placed into the river can result
in the desire to excavate or dredge out the deposited materials over time to
maintain navigable waters where the deposited materials will inevitably build up.
This generally results in the entrainment of more fuzes within the water column
which can move down stream and silt in other important spawning gravels and
suffocate invertibuates used by juvenile salmon as a food source.
• Compaction of the river substrate resulting from vehicle fords or grounding of
bank stabilization materials like logs or floating docks can make these areas
unsuitable for S = construction of nests and crush any eggs or young salmon fry
incubating within these gravels_
• The proposed area of the bridge site contains the greatest amount of gravel and
cobble material within the entire mainstream. This area supports the greatest
opportunity for spawning and provides cover habitat m the crevices between the
cobble for juveniles to rest, feed and rear. The Final EIS does not address the
affect of the proposed bridge construction in this area, does not deal with the
potential Ioss for this spawning area. Additionally, the study does not appear to
sufficiently address the threatened loss of a major portion of the spawning beds and
its cumulative effect on the entire river.
• The Final EIS does not sufficiently address the effect of the proposed bridge
construction and its resulting loss of habitat units for the rearing of juvenile
salmon.
• The Final EIS does not address the problems with data in sustainable fish stocks
as a result of the inaccuracy and unreliability of fish count numbers based upon the
Department of Fish & Game's previous fish counting methods. The Department
of Fish & Game has recently admitted that their fish count numbers were in error.

information on current fish stock populations above require there to
be a meaaingfal evaluation of the impact of this proposed bridge construction.
• The deStruction of wetland currently used by juvenile salmon as a possible
spawning area as well as a source of food and protection, and as a moose calving
area. No study has been lone on the effect of the loss of this habitat on the area's
moose population.
• The effect of ice jams at the bridge site and its resulting damage as a result of ice
overflow and flooding of upstream lands.
• The Proposed bridge construction's compliance with the Clean Water Act.
Although this list is not exclusive, it does provide you with a sampling of some of
the complex problems which require additional time to fully develop and address in response to
the Feral Environmenml Impact Statement. Specifically, the hydrological, sedimentation, loss of
a king salmon spawning area with the resulting threat or destruction of an additional large section
of the river for C hmook and Coho salmon spawning in the future, all of which was not addressed
by the Department of Transportation FEIS.
Therefore, I would appreciate a response from you by February 27, 1998 with
regard to whether or not the public comment period will be extended_
If you have any questions or concerns with regards to this matter, please feel free
to contact me at the Anchorage number listed above.
Very truly yours,

Please carefully examine the accuracy of these data elements. You may appeal to the
Commissioner, in writing, any of these data elements, except for population and full and true
property value determinations. The deadline for appealing those data elements has passed (if
necessary, we will make corrections to borough service area populations or full and true
property values). An appeal must include supporting evidence and be postmarked within 30
days of receipt of this letter.
Your municipality's payment under the FY 99 State Revenue Sharing Program will be issued July

parking lot. As soon as everyone gets lined -up the parade will begin and follow the Spur Hwy. to the "Y"
At 6:30 p.m. you can head over to the Central Peninsula Sports Center. There you can feast on a
traditional Irish dinner of Corned Beef and Cabbage with all the trimmings, prepared by the wonderful
cooks at the Soldotna Senior Center and served by Skyview High's "Mock Trial Group" and the Social
Studies "European Class". After dinner, there will be an "Irish Auction". There have already been some
great auction items donated, (like Alaska Railroad Anchorage/Fairbanks round-trip tickets, River Rafting
Trips, Roundtrip Kenai/Anchorge Airline Tickets, Kenai Fjord Tours, Clarion Subscription, Tanning &
Workout coupons, Concealed Weapons Carry Class, Bird Kite) and they are still coming in, so you'll
definitely want to stick around and bid on a few things. For the grand finale, at approximately 9:00 p.m.
Fire Art by Griz will, once again, awe us with his fantastic fireworks display! Griz has a few surprises up
his sleeve this year, he even created a Shamrock Firework. Throughout the evening we will be
entertained by Nightwind, courtesy of First National Bank of Anchorage. This Irish Contemporary Celtic
Band consists of a Cellist, Flutist, Guitarist, Violinist and volcals, and from what we hear, they'll have you
tapping your toes in no time.
Proceeds from the St. Patrick's Day Celebration will support the Merchant's Committee fund which
sponsors such programs as Free Skate Days, Employee of the Month Program, Community Spring Clean
Up and the Scholarship Fund and the St. Patrick's Day fireworks.
