WHEREAS, in 1996 the Alaska Board of Fisheries adopted regulations for a more liberal dip net fishery at the mouth of the Kenai River; and WHEREAS, this fishery has resulted in problems to the City of Kenai which were not foreseen by the Board of Fisheries including parking, beach litter and human waste, trespass and destruction of public and private property; and WHEREAS, this includes acceleration of erosion of bluff property on the north shore of the Kenai River, as described in Proposal 223 in the 1998/1999 Cook Inlet Board of Fishery proposals; and WHEREAS, enactment of Proposal 223 would protect the environment as well as public and private property from further loss by erosion without limiting dip net fishery access for the vast majority of the public presently participating in the fishery; and WHEREAS, another area of critical habitat of concern to the City of Kenai is the wetlands on the south shore of the Kenai River which are being impacted by uncontrolled littering and from human waste during the dip net fishery; and WHEREAS, there is presently no access to the south shore of the Kenai River that enables the City of Kenai to provide for proper litter and human waste disposal; and WHEREAS, the City of Kenai has taken actions to address these problems with the support of the Division of Sport Fish, but needs the assistance of the Board of Fisheries and the State of Alaska in addressing the problems of bluff erosion and trespass on the north shore of the Kenai River, and litter and human waste control on the south shore of the Kenai River. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, .ALASKA, that the City of Kenai requests that Alaska Board of Fisheries adopt Proposal 223 which will provide protection from acceleration of erosion on the Kenai River bluffs; and Resolution No. 99-1 Page 2 of 2 FURTHER BE IT RESOLVED, that the City of Kenai requests that the Board of Fisheries recommend that the State of Alaska work with the City of Kenai to develop access and parking facilities to the south Kenai River shore to enable proper litter and human waste disposal.

WHEREAS, in 1996 the Board of Fisheries created a more liberal Dip Net Fishery at the mouth of the Kenai River; and WHEREAS, this Dip Net Fishery has become very popular and highly successful as evidenced by the in excess of 10,000 fish days and over 100,000 fish harvested reported by Alaska Department of Fish and Game in 1997; and WHEREAS, this Dip Net Fishery is scheduled for continuous openings during the month of July and this harvest method is highly efficient in removing red salmon from the River; and WHEREAS, it is in the interest of all users of the Red Salmon Fishery to insure that there is a sufficient escapement to insure future returns; and WHEREAS, the Dip Net Fishery is a fishery for Alaskan residents only and the vast majority of the residents are from Southcentral Alaska and able to accommodate reasonable restriction and emergency closures; and WHEREAS, it is in the interest of the Fishery to insure that harvest limits are enforced and not abused in the Dip Net Fishery. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, that the City of Kenai requests the Alaska Board of Fisheries close the Dip Net Fishery on a daily basis from 12:00 a.m. until 6:00 a.m. in order to provide for fish escapement into the River as well as to provide better enforcement of harvest limits; and FURTHER BE IT RESOLVED, that the City of Kenai requests that the Dip Net Fishery be subject to closure on 24 hours notice when River escapement goals are not being met and reopened only when escapement goals are projected for attainment.

PUBLIC HEARINGS- Planning & Zoning Commission December 23, 1998 Page 1 PZ98-55 - An appUcation for a Conditional Use Permit for an autobody shop for the property described as Lot C, Michael C. Pelch Homestead, 3520 Beaver Loop Road, Kenai, Alaska. Application submitted by Tom ?ribble, 3520 Beaver Loop Road, Kenai, Alaska. Continued from November 25, 1998. Chairman Glick stated this is a continuation from the November 25, 1998 meeting and asked for wishes of the Commission. NORD MOVED TO APPROVE PZ98-55 WITH THE CONTINGENCIES SUGGESTED BY THE STAFF. GO~~ SECONDED. No public comment. Kebschull related to the Commission that a letter had been sent to Mr. Tribble outlining the contingencies. No answer had been received to date. GOEKE CALLED FOR (~UF~TION. .. VOTE ERWIN Yes NORD Yes GLICK Yes GO~~ Yes NEWBRY Yes be PZ98-58 - A resolution of the Planning/h Zoning Commission of the City of Kenai, Alaska amending IG~C 14.20.280 to add the requirement of posting property involved in proceedings which require public hearings. Continued from November 25, 1998 meeting. NORD MOVED FOR APPROVAL OF RF~OLUTION. SECONDED. ERWIN Public Hearing Begins Mark Schrag, Kenai, Alaska. Mr. Schrag spoke in support of the resolution. Areas like Woodland probably are not a problem because the houses are close together. However, in outlying areas where lots are larger and further apart, people are not as aware of property involved in proceedings requiring public hearing. He stated the signs would help make it possible for citizens to be more aware and involved in their neighborhood. JoAn Buzzell, 1103 Aliak, Kenai, Alaska. Ms. Buzzell stated her strong support of the resolution, especially after the problems caused Planning & Zoning Commission December 23, 1998 Page 2 with the Chumley property. In addition, the people within 300 square feet only receive written notice and notices in the newspaper are not sufficient. Public Hearing Closed Glick related for the new Commissioners' benefit, the idea behind the resolution is to place responsibility on the applicant to come to the City to get the signs, post them and then remove them once proceedings are completed. Kebschull stated the Planning & Zoning Commission had been requested to review notification procedures involving applications revolving public hearings. Nord indicated her intention to vote in favor of this resolution. She feels it is better financially for the City and places the responsibility on the applicant. Goecke suggested the resolution be held over as he is against it because he believes the City is getting into a knee jerk reaction. He is still against it and will be voting no. Erwin noted he had read the past information and asked for clarification regarding the signs being on all roads adjacent to the property and it being the responsibility of the applicant to remove the signs. He further asked if there was a penalty if the signs were not removed and could the permit be revoked. Glick answered the signs would be posted on all roads so people driving by could see them. He added, he did not remember reading there would be a penalty or the possibility of permit being revoked. VOTE GOECKE No ERWIN Yes GLICK Yes NORD Yes NEWBRY Yes PZ98-63 - An application for an Encroachment Permit for side yard setbacks for the property described as Lot 50A-2 Ellerman Subdivision, Addition No. 1. Application submitted by Tony A. Cobb, 1211 4fa Avenue, Kenai, Alaska. GOECKE MOVED THE APPROVAL OF PZ98-63 ENCROACHMENT PERMIT. NORD SECONDED. Planning & Zoning Commission December 23, 1998 Page 3 am ¸4. am m Public Hearing Begins Barry Eldridge, 2679 Bowpicker, Kenai, Alaska. Mr. Eldridge stated he was in attendance to answer any questions. The house was built by Habitat for Humanity by a lot of volunteers. The house was moved back once to ensure the 25' clearance. Apparently, when this was done, the house was cocked a bit on the lot so one comer of the house is 1/10th of a foot closer to the road. The Cobbs are the homeowners, but he will be §lad to answer any questions on behalf of Habitat for Humanity. Public Hearing Closed Kebschull noted Mrs. Cobb did call to relate they were having car problems so they couldn't be here tonight. Nord expressed her disappointment at not being able to do what the Commission was planning to do last year. She felt this was a waste of time to talk about an 1 ¥4~ or 1½', therefore, would vote in favor. VOTE NORD Yes ERWIN Yes GLICK Yes NEWBRY Yes GO~~ Yes MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. NEW BUSINESS- All passed under Consent Agenda OLD BUSINESS- None CODE ENFORCEMENT- None REPORTS City Council Councilman Smalley directed the Commission to the Agenda with notations from the December 2, 1998 and December 16, 1998 meetings. On the meeting of the 16~, Item C, all items passed. Items 1 and 2 dealt with the Multi-Purpose Recreational Facility to be built on a piece of property by the high school on the same parCel of property the Challenger Learning Center will be positioned. This will be on the back side of that lot towards Rogers Road. Under Item H, Item 4 was approved. Item 5, Councilman Bannock was reappointed as the director to the Challenger Learning Center. Planning & Zoning Commission December 23, 1998 Page 4 He will need an alternate and they are looking at Smalley's replacement on the Council being that alternate. Mayor Williams was the other Board of Director member appointed and his backup is City Manager Mr. Ross. Item 6, Airline Support, Inc. were not able to attend the meeting. They have been invited to come down. At the time of discussion they did not have their ticket and were also waiting for further confirmation on the type of aircraft they would be using. They did call the Airport Manager and indicate issues were resolved and they are planning on coming to the City the 2nd or 3rd of January. It is a new company. They plan on eight flights per day and evening to and from Anchorage and twice to Homer and back. There was some discussion on the dipnet fisheries this summer. One item that will come up at the Board of Fish in February, if the City can get on the agenda, will be a possible closure from midnight to 6:00 A.M. to allow at least part of the tide for fish to make their way up the river. Right now it is open 24 hours. The city will also request more enforcement and seeing about worldng on the south side of the River to provide better sanitation as there is none there at this time and it is quite a problem. Consideration of the EVOS proposal would include a parking lot facility on the far side w/th a road going out to it where they could set up porta- potties. There was some discussion regarding the Kenai Peninsula Animal Control Ordinance. The Borough is attempting to offer the City $25,000 to travel outside the City and Borough areas primarily in cases where it is reported there is a rabid dog or a vicious dog. It was felt if those were the only two reasons the City would respond, then most calls coming in would be for those reasons. Presently the City houses a number of dogs from outside the City in the facility. Last year there were in excess of 1100 animals put down in the facility, some 500+ of those animals were picked up outside of the City. Of the other numbers that come through, there is a number that are picked up in the City that aren't dropped off at the facility but may be brought into town and let go. The other issue discussed was if an animal comes from outside the City, there are potentially two ordinances that would impact that ar~_imal and the City would prefer its ordinance be followed instead of two ordinances. Smalley added, council felt the City could not provide this type of service for the amount of monetary gain the Borough was offering. There will probably be further discussions in the future. Item 9, Aviation Consulting Services. This is the route the FAA would prefer the City go through. This is a continuation of the Planning & Zoning Commission December 23, 1998 Page 5 discussion as to the feasibility of a potential cargo airport at the City sometime in the future. Mr. Carter, who was initially considering doing this project, has stepped away from it. This issue has gone back to the Airport Commission and Council and the City administration brought this proposal to council to help identify individuals and their background that would be interested in submitting a proposal for this project. The scope has been narrowed dOwn to two questions: 1) What is the potential of expansion to cargo industry in Alaska that cannot be met by Anchorage/Fairbanks? 2) Is there a potential for the City of Kenai to be involved in this. If the answer to those two questions come back "no", case closed, no more study. If it comes back there is a potential, then the Council will have to reach the decision of whether or not to extend the project further from an inVestigative standpoint. The Council is taking this route and in January they will proceed from there. Goecke commented regarding Item H8. He reiterated his position against the shelter since its inception and believes the Borough was not interested in helping defray the cost at the time or before it Was Under construction because right now they are getting the services for free. Further, Goecke feels $25,000 from the Borough at this time is almost like a slap in the face. His personal feeling is to tell the Borough to build their own, at least then the City of Kenai taxpayers are only taking care of a small portion of the cost and the rest of the Borough gets to help with it. $25,000 means one more vehicle and one more person on the payroll and everyone knows it is not possible to hire a person or even buy a pickup for that. Mr. Smalley replied the consensus of the Council was the $25,000 being offered by the Borough would not begin to cover the services the city now provides. It was also felt the Borough would have to come a long way before the City has an interest in this area. Goecke asked for clarification regarding the City of Soldoma not accepting animals from out of their city limits. Smalley answered, if an animal comes to the shelter and it is identified as a non- resident, he believes that is true. However, the City of Soldoma has responded to some out-of-city calls in the past, but not to the extent the City of Kenai has. Smalley related this is his last Planning & Zoning Commission meeting. He offered his welcome to new Commissioners Erwin and Newbry. Councilman Bannock will be filling in through January until the Mayor and Council appoint a replacement. He did not know if that would be Councilman Bannock or not, although Bannock has expressed an interest. The Mayor will be · Planning & Zoning Commission December 23, 1998 Page 6 bo¸ C~ making a recommendation and Council generally takes Mayor's recommendations. That will probably happen the first meeting in February. Smalley corn__mented briefly on the article in the newspaper today regarding election of Co__m~ission members. The Mayor made the request and was ready to appoint the members for the Planning & Zoning Commission but agreement was split regarding the Mayor appointing two or three positions. Smalley recommended all three positions be replaced because interviews had been conducted and .applications were on file. Other council members suggested they would like to wait until after Smalley's position is filled to find out if there are individuals who may have applied for his position on Council that may have an interest in serving on Planning & Zoning. He didn't know if additional interviews would be conducted or if specific questions would be asked of those individuals not selected. With his position replacement, that person will be appointed for the balance of this calendar year and in the fall, the position will become open on the ballot for one calendar year, then it will be back in its normal three year cycle. Borough Planning Glick noted Mr. Bryson is not present but information is included in the packet. Administration Kebschull reported the Commission would be receiving a Conditional Use Permit at the second meeting in January for the Challenger/Multi-Use Facility property. Councilman Smalley mentioned earlier this is the property next to the high school. This will be done with permission of the Mental Health Trust, who currently owns the property. It will take until probably early March for that property transfer to take place from the Mental Health Trust to the Borough to the City. Kebschull also mentioned the Planning & Zoning training and Council's discussion and asked Smalley to relate information. Smalley stated the City Clerk looked into some of the training that could have been available sometime in January. That proposal was to bring in an individual locally and then two from Anchorage. When it was described to Council, their impression was it was a ~How to be a Commissioner" training and were afraid it was someone coming in to train the Commission how to interpret the City Code. The points discussed by the Commission and related to the Council are in light of the fact the Commission will be going Planning & Zoning Commission December 23, 1998 Page 7 ® e through Ordinances and Codes, Land Use Plans and the Comprehensive Plan in the near future and trying to bring all into harmony. Council went further on to suggest it was their impression this training would be a multi-purpose training for all Commissioners and how to serve in that capacity for the City. That probably will be what comes up first. Smalley encouraged the' Council to think about some additional training specific to Planning and Zoning'that might give some assistance, especially in the future dealing with those three books. Council will further discuss this issue at the second meeting in January and set something up for February or March. They are also looking at cost. He believed the initial cost was $5,400 for a two-day course. Public Comment JoAn Buzzell, 1103 Altak~ Kenai, Alaska. Ms. Buzzell stated she has been here for 20 years. When they were having their problem with Mr. Chumley, Ms. Kebschull was very helpful getting the books they needed and several people in their group had the Zoning Code book, Planning & Zoning handbook and the Kenai Comprehensive Plan. They studied those .books and went through them chapter and verse and that was how they won their appeals. Mr. Goecke stated at the Senior Center two weeks ago that he went with what was best for the City. Ms. Buzzell asked if you don't go by the books the City has written for your instruction, is that best for the City? They went by the books and laid them out before the Council chapter and verse. She would recommend that each Commissioner get those books and study them and it would be a big help and a $5,400 training may not be needed. PERSONS PRESENT NOT SCHEDULED- None.

MOTION: Councilman Moore MOVED for approve of Ordinance No. 1807-98 and Councilman Measles SECONDED the motion. Rick Baldwin -- 3080 Kim-N-Ang Court, Kenai. Baldw/n reported the reason there were so many young folks in the audience was because there was a lot of excitement in the community for building the ice facility in Kenai. He noted, many of those in the audience were Kenai Hockey players and had a vested interest in the facility, especially the underclassmen. Baldwin added, having the ice facility would be helpful in that the hockey players now have practice in the afternoon after school, but also at 5'00 a.m. He also noted, the Soldotna rink is also a long way to go for practice. Baldwin commented, the new facility would be an enhancement for the community and encouraged the council to move forward on the project. He added, he appreciated the council's interest and effort in developing a funding package to build the facility as it would be a "good thing for the kids." Chris Gabriel -- 2727 Seine Court, Kenai. Gabriel noted he and his family had been involved in the area hockey program for many years -- when the players had to clean the snow off the outside rinks. Gabriel expressed his appreciation for the work done by the city on behalf of the hockey players and his family. Nate Kiel -- 404 Lawton Drive, Kenai. Kiel stated he was very excited at the prospect of building a multi-use facility in Kenai and thanked the administration for the outstanding leadership in pursuing the project. He added, he had been involved in developing a rink since 1992 when he was a member of the first Rink Task Force. Kiel thanked council and City Manager Ross for leading the way and the Parks & Recreation Commission for their support and input over the last year. He added, there is a definite need for the facility for a number of user groups in the community (softball, Little League, gun clubs, etc.) Kiel added, he hoped the facility could be started in the next building season. Steve Campanella -- Campanella reported he was the KCHS Sophomore Class representative to the Student Council and the Student Council supported the project. He added, he spoke to many of the members and they were very supportive. KEN~ CITY COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 16, 1998 PAGE 3 Campanella also noted, the new facility would give the KCHS hockey program a boost as there is a lot of talent in the community and they need a good facility to exercise their talent. Councilman Moore stated he agreed with the comments made and added, the project was long overdue. Moore noted, he would like to see the project completed as it would be a good project and helpful to Kenai and its young people. Councilman Smalley stated he too believed the project was a long time coming and he was pleased to see the city going forward with the project. He added, it was great to have the people attend the meeting and to know hockey had not lost its appeal over the years. VOTE: Bannock: Yes Bookey: Yes Measles: Yes Smalley: Yes Williams: Yes Swarner: Absent Moore: Yes MOTION PASSED UN~OUSLY. Williams thanked the people for coming to the meeting and showing their support of the project. He noted, the facility was being designed as a phased project. After the first phase was built, additional funding may be requested from the community to build the second phase. Resolution No. 98-86 -- Awarding a Contract for Professional Design Services to Architects Alaska/K lauder & Co. for the Project Entitled, "Multi-Purpose Facility" for the Total Amount of $54,458. MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED for adoption of Resolution No. 98-86 and Councilman Moore SECORDED the motion. There were no public comments. Councilman Measles asked if administration was sure it would save money by negotiating a contract with Architects Alaska/K lauder & Co. instead of going to a Request for Proposals and whether it would be a real time- saving advantage to proceed in this manner. City Manager Ross answered, his memorandum (included in the packet) outlined the reasons administration felt it would be better to negotiate for the professional service contract. He noted, development of this project would require extreme close coordination between the ice facility and the Challenger Learning Center as both projects would be placed on city KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 16, 1998 PAGE 4 land and would be owned by the city. The projects will also necessitate coordination of soils testing, development of parking facility design and design engineering of utility services. Ross added, he believed this coordination of effort would save money in development of both projects. Ross noted, there would be no reason not to go to RFP for Phase 2 of the ice facility. He added, City Engineer La Shot negotiated the contract with the architect and it was well under the cost it would have been if the project had gone to RFP. Ross added, he was satisfied with the local firms involved and it was administration's recommendation to go forward with the project as stated in the resolution. Councilman Bookey asked if administration was confident the Challenger group would go forward with their part of the coordinated underground work, etc. even if their project was delayed. Bill Popp, Challenger Project Coordinator -- Popp stated their project was fight on tract to §o to bid in March. He added, he attended a meeting in the afternoon where the matter was discussed. Popp reported, the Challenger Board always thought there would be a coordinated effort between the two projects.and they planned to proceed. Bookey asked Popp, even if Challenger is not ready to §o to full-phase construction, would they be involved with the underground, etc. Popp answered, yes. Ross added, the Borough was in the process of acquiring the land on which the projects would be built and noted his memorandum discussed the timeline the Mental Health and Borough worked out with the City of Kenai and when a formal resolution would be considered to accept the land. Ross continued, in the past, through what he considered consent of council, he had proceeded on the basis that the city would accept the land for installation of both the facilities on it. He added, unless council directs differently at this time, after council's actions are taken, he will write a letter to the Borough Mayor and indicate the city is requesting they proceed with the transfer and it is the intent of the council for both the projects to be located on that land. Ross noted, council would have an opportunity at a later date to adopt a formal resolution accepting the land. However, the Borough Mayor had requested a letter stating council's intention. There were no objections from council. Moore noted the proposal spoke about developing the project and indicated "...a building design committee representing the City of Kenai." Moore asked if that would be administration or user group representatives. Ross answered, he intended to ask several representatives from the user group to work with La Shot and the engineer/architect furn to develop criteria for designs. Ross added, ultimately the designs would come to council for review and consideration. Ross continued, in the KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 16, 1998 PAGE 5 proposal it was indicated the project would be designed on the basis it would be a steel building as it is the only way to get into this type of structure with the funding available. Ross answered, yes, the user groups would be involved. VOTE: Bannock: Yes Bookey: Yes Measles' No Smalley: Yes Williams' Yes Swarner: Absent Moore' Yes MOTION PASSED. C-3o Resolution No. 98-88 -- Supporting the Efforts of the State of Alaska, Department of Health and Social Services to Obtain Funding for the Construction of a Youth Detention Facility. MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED for adoption of Resolution No. 98-88 and Councilman Moore SF~ONDED the motion. There were no public comments. Williams noted, there was a possibility the State of Alaska may build a youth detention facility in the local area and Kenai was one of two places selected to be the potential location. Williams noted, it had been many years since many of Kenai citizens petitioned the state for a facility of this type. Now, local youth who are incarcerated are taken to Anchorage and flown back and forth to attend court hearings. It had been the feeling of many that if the young people who are incarcerated are kept closer to their family and friends, things sometimes work out better for them. Williams noted, the effort to develop such a facility in the area started approximately 20 years ago by Attorney Ed Gamett. Lt. Jeff Kohler -- (The city's representative on the site selection committee.) Kohler stated he had been involved with the committee since last winter and they had been going through a process outlined by the Division of Health and Social Services which discussed program development issues, site selection, etc. Kohler added, about two weeks ago it was learned the facility had been submitted to the Governor's desk by Health & Social Services with an amount of $2.5 Million to build a facility in the central Peninsula. However, they learned yesterday, the proposal did not make it off the Governor's desk. The Kenai facility was second on the list -- Ketchikan (number one on the list) didn't make it off the Governor's desk either. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 16, 1998 PAGE 6 Kohler stated, the committee would continue on with the process and would take random surveys of the local area to determine what the community sees as needs for the facility and would be doing some public relations to enhance their proposal. Williams stated council appreciated Kohler's work on the committee and encouraged the committee to continue working toward the placement of a facility in the community. Joan Bennett Schrader -- P.O. Box 1264, Kenai. Schrader explained, she was a resident of Ridgeway, but was also a member of the committee. Schrader urged council's support and adoption of the resolution. Schrader reported, the need is evident by the overflow residents at the McLaughlin facility in Anchorage. She explained, Alaska is one of the states that does not have a minimum age for juveniles being placed with adults which makes the need for a new facility more important. She added, the Homer City Council passed a resolution in support of the facility and Seward would be considering one at their next meeting. Schrader also reported, of the McLaughlin population, she believed approximately 40 a year were from the Kcnai Peninsula. She noted, when a youngster from the Peninsula is incarcerated, it means they are also sent away from their home communities in addition to the conveying officers needing to travel out of the community. Having a facility on the Peninsula would expedite matters for the families of those incarcerated. Schrader requested a copy of the resolution be sent to Senator Georgianna Lincoln and Representative-Elect Carl Morgan in addition to those already listed on the resolution. Williams stated that would be considered as friendly amendment. VOTE: Councilman Measles requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. Councilman Bannock SECONDED the request. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. C-4o 1999/2000 Liquor License Renewal-- Peninsula Offers Baseball Club, Inc./Recreational Site. Approved by consent agenda. ITEM D: D-lo COMMISSION/COMMITTEE REPORTS Council on Aging -- No report. ~NAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 16, 1998 PAGE 7 D-2. Airport Commission -- Councilman Measles reported he had been out of town and was unable to attend the meeting. He noted, the meeting minutes were included in the packet. D-3. Harbor Commission -- Councilman Bookey reported a meeting was held on December 7 at which there was a full comm/ssion. He noted the main discussion was the idea of a student representative assigned to the Commission. The Commission, through a motion, supported the placement of a non-voting student representative to the Commission. D-4. Library Commission -- Councilman Moore reported the next meeting was scheduled for January 5, 1999. D-5. Parks/is Recreation Commission -- Councilman Bannock reported the Commission met on December 3 and the minutes of that meeting were included in the packet. Bannock added, the Commission discussed the potential of placing a new wrought iron front fence and gate at the cemetery. He noted, this item would probably come back before council during budget discussions. Bannock also reported the Commission had been discussing the Offers' agreement with the city and now, through conversations with the Commission and Oilers Board there would be a cooperative effort between the city and the Oilers to landscape and generally spruce up the area around the Offers Park. Williams reported he has had some concerns related to him regarding some of the exercise equipment at the Recreation Center. Director Frates stated some of the equipment was several years old and received a lot of use. They have been asking patrons for suggestions for new equipment, etc. and those suggestions will be brought forward during budget hearings. Nate Kiel -- Kiel reported, in the early morning hours, Monday through Friday, the Center is busy. His experience has been the few pieces of weight equipment are in good shape, but the tread mill and stair climber are fully booked and reserved and not always available for use. He encouraged some thought be given to purchasing additional equipment during budget time. Williams requested Frates prepare a prioritized list for equipment replacement to supplement equipment already available at the Center. D-6. Planning/is Zoning Commission -- Councilman Smalley reported the minutes of the last meeting were included in the packet. He noted Items 4a and 4b were tabled and will be up for public hearing at the next meeting. He also reported, KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 16, 1998 PAGE 8 he meeting of December 9 had been cancelled due as there would be no quorum available. Smalley requested packets for the January Commission meetings be sent to Councilman Bannock. Discussion followed regarding appointments to the Commission to fdl the three empty seats to the Commission from the six people council interviewed at their November 25 work session. Bookey stated he would prefer making two appointments and hold making the third until after council makes an appointment to the seat on the council to be vacated by Councilman Smalley. Bookey noted, he believed from those applications not selected for the council seat, there would be a person who may be interested in filling the remaining Commission seat. Smalley stated he understood Bookey's concern, but would not have difficulty in appointing all three positions at this time. He noted, the positions were advertised and council interviewed applicants. He didn't know if there would be more people interested than those who had already come forward. Smalley stated, he would support making three appointments. Moore stated he agreed with Bookey, but had chosen three people for the available seats. Measles stated he also agreed with Bookey and added, he would like to appoint two positions during this meeting and wait on the other appointment. Bannock stated he had two people on the list who he was prepared to support. Williams noted, he would go forward with making recommendations for two of the positions available as it seemed the consensus was to appoint only two at this time and appoint the third after the appointment to council is made. Williams offered Donald R. Erwin and Robert J. Newbry for appointment to the Commission. MOTION: Councilman Measles MOVED for approval of the appointments as suggested by the Mayor and Councilman Bookey SF~gONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. D-7. Miscellaneous Commissions and Committees D'7a. Beautification Committee -- Fr~tes stated he had no report, however the Committee would meet again during the second week of January. Williams noted the letter of resignation from Susan Hett which was included in the packet. He requested a thank you letter be forwarded to Hett for her work with the Committee and her help with the city's connections with the congressional delegation in Washington, DC. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 16, 1998 PAGE 9 D-7b. Historic District Board-- Moore reported the next meeting was scheduled for January 18, 1999. D-7c. Kenai Visitors/h Convention Bureau Board-- KVCC Executive Director, Kathy Tarr reported the following: o e the KVCC website had been launched and Tarr encouraged council to visit it at www.visitkenai.com; the KVCC was selected as the meeting place for the Permanent Fund Board of Trustees meeting to be held on June 16, 1999. Tarr noted, the Board was planning to spend the whole day in Kenai and she hoped they may be able to also attend the Kenai Chamber luncheon, visit the ARFF, and other areas of interest in Kenai; the Second Annual Writers Night would be held at the Center which will lead up to the Library's 50th anniversary. Tarr noted, proceeds from Writers Night will be split between the KVCC and the Library. Moore reported he had visited the new website and it looked great. Moore also noted, the KVCC looked nice all decorated with lights, etc. Tarr thanked the City's Parks & Recreation Department for putting up the lights. D-7d. Alaska Municipal League Report -- Councilman'Smalley had no report. Williams reported he traveled to Kansas City to attend the NLC Conference. Williams added, it was a very good conference for getting a vision of the future. It was noted at the conference that the future cannot be predicted, but it can be envisioned. He thanked council for supporting his travel to attend. BREAK TAKEN: BACK TO ORDER: 7:54 P.M. 8:05 P.M. Because it was the last council meeting Councilman Smalley would be attending before his installation as a member of the State of Alaska House of Representatives, Williams a plaque from the Council, Administration and Employees, thanking him for his dedication to the City of Kenai and its commumty. Smalley thanked the Mayor, Council, Administration, Employees and the people of Kenai for supporting him over his many years in Kenai. He added, as the area's representative, he would do his best to represent the City of Kenai and the Peninsula. Another brief break was taken for refreshments.

He noted, a change in insurance will be required as outlined in the memorandum included in the packet. MOTION: Councilman Bannock MOVED for approval of the Assignment of Lease from Ronald A. Yamamoto as outlined in the December 10, 1998 memorandum. Councilman t3ookey 8E~ONI)EI) the motion. There were no objections. 80 ORDEItEI). Discussion-- Designation of Director Appointees/Challenger Learning Center of Alaska. Williams referred to a letter included in the packet from Bill Popp, Challenger Project Coordinator. In the letter, Popp reported the term of the two City seats on the Challenger Board of Directors would expire December 1'7 and requested council appoint two members to the Board for a year's term. Williams noted, in the past, he and Councilman Bannock represented the City and had as their alternates Rick Ross and Counci!~an Smalley. W~ll~ams stated he would like to continue as a board member. Bannock stated he would be honored to stay on the board as well. Ross reported he had not had to attend any meetings as Williams' alternate. However, he was concerned that he would be in a position where he will be negotiating with the Challenger Board in regard to lease agreements, etc. He added, he didn't believe he had a problem with neutrality in representing the City, but was concerned for the appearance of his being the alternate. Williams stated he would want someone from administration as the alternate and noted City Engineer La Shot was involved on the project. Bannock stated he would prefer Ross remain as Williams' alternate. He noted, he was familiar with the make- up of the Board and did not foresee any conflict of interest. Discussion followed regarding an alternate for Bannock and it was decided to wait until after the new council member is appointed. There were no objections to the appointments of Williams and Bannock to the Challenger Board of Directors, with Rick Ross as Williams' alternate. Discussion -- Proposed Ticket Counter Lease Agreement for New Airline Service -- Airline Support, Inc. Williams referred to information included in the packet regarding Airline Support, Inc.'s desire to lease ticket counter space at the Kenai Airport and begin commuter service to Kenai in January. Airport Manager Atha reported, to his knowledge the KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 16, 1998 PAGE 12 company was not yet a carrier as they had been attempting to lease aircraft and start a service. He added, if they have a certificate to operate under another carrier wing or their own, they cannot be kept from operating at the airport. Atha noted, he thought a representative of the company would be in attendance, but was not. Ross noted, he too anticipated a representative attending the meeting. He added, administration had proposed entering into negotiations on a standard space-rent lease. If they contact them again, administration could negotiate the lease and allow them to begin their operation or say they have to appear before council in order for council to question them as to the type of service they will offer, etc. Ross continued, Airline Support, Inc. had stated they wanted to begin operation by January 1 and this was the only occasion for them to appear before council prior to January 1. Ross stated, if the company contacts them to negotiate an agreement next week, he would go ahead with that but would also schedule them to come before council. Measles stated the city could not deny them operation at the airport regardless of what type of service they intend to offer. He continued, basically, council only had to approve concept of the lease providing they meet all the requirements in the lease agreement and direct administration to proceed. Measles added, there was no need for the lease to come back to council for approval. MOTION: Councilman Measles MOVED to approve the proposed space lease to Airline Support, Inc. and direct administration to proceed with negotiations of the lease, the lease being approved providing they meet all their requirements of the lease agreement and is acceptable by administration and our attorney. Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. Smalley stated he hoped Airline Support, Inc. would have an extended invitation to come and visit council at their earliest convenience. Williams agreed. Discussion -- Dip Net Fishery Ross referred to the rePort included in the packet and written by Lt. Kohler, Parks & Recreation Director Frates and Public Works Director Komelis. The report discussed the actions taken last year, the program as it concluded, and their recommendations. Ross noted, he also attached a copy of Proposal 223, the city's proposal to the Board of Fisheries which was held over for consideration until the Board meeting in February. Ross noted, coUncil's written comments must be submitted to the Board of Fisheries three weeks prior to the meeting. Ross continued, he intended to bring forward a KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 16, 1998 PAGE 13 resolution for council consideration at the January 6, 1999 meeting. The resolution will reaffirm council's discussion at this meeting. Ross proposed the city reaffwm its position on Proposal 223. Ross reported he had met with several of the sport and commercial fishery representatives. Through those discussions, he requested several other items be added to the resolution- le o e Needing additional information of bag limits as there was reason to believe there was excess taken out; The dipnet fishery is high efficiently on red salmon however, there was a question of whether it should be opened for 24 hours a day or whether there should be a midnight to 6:00 a.m. closure which would help in an enforcement point of view and allow some of the fish to get up fiver and help alleviate the commercial and dipnet fisheries from being closed down; The dipnet fishery is an Alaskan resident fishery. Most of the people participating in the fishery come from southcentral Alaska. When the counter indicates the escapement is not reached, the fishery sh°uld be subject to closure on a 24-hour notice. When escapement picks up, it could be reopened. Ross added, unless council objected, he would bring the resolution forward, but wanted council to have some forewarning since the issue can be controversial. Ross requested council to comment if they had any concerns or suggestions so he could incorporate them in the resolution for review by council at the first meeting in January and have it apprOved by the middle of January in order to submit the city comments to the Board of Fisheries on time. Moore stated he thought it was important that Ross noted the poor return of the fishery did influence the dipnet participants. He added, he would like a point made on the resolution regarding human waste disposal on the south beach being a significant problem as he felt that was unacceptable. Moore asked Frates if the new tractor had been used during the summer. Frates answered, he thought with the educational material distributed to the fishery users really helped and they didn't encounter the problems encountered the year prior and did not need to use the tractor. Moore asked if the EVOS director was still recommending a study be done in regard to the parking situation on the beaches. Ross answered, on the south side of the fiver (a separate issue), the city has been in meetings and will be again after the first of the year with Salamatof and the Borough to continue pushing their proposed change through administration and EVOS. In regard to the north parking area KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 16, 1998 PAGE 14 problems, it was another issue Ross wanted council to think about between now and January. Ross continued, the city already has permits to allow fill to be added for parking and eventual sewer treatment plant expansion. The permits will expire in November 1999. EVOS has set this aside and said they will study the problem. Ross noted, he didn't think it would be acceptable to allow the permits to expire. In researching the history of how the permits were attained, it was not geared on the presence of a dipnet fishery. They were granted to allow filling the area for future sewer treatment plant expansion and parking. Ross stated, administration was reviewing the matter and would bring a proposal to council in January to request General Fund and Sewer Fund monies to place the fill, etc. before July. He cautioned, if the work is held too long, the work will not be able to be done before the dipnet fishery begins and then there would be concern of the permits expiring. If the city would have to reapply for the permits, he felt there could be problems in receiving them and receiving them in the same form. Ross requested council to think about these items over the next weeks. He added, he would bring back a proposal in January to go ahead with the fill work planned and forget trying to get EVOS funding as he did not think funding would be received until well after the permits expire. Williams suggested the suggestion of closing the fishery be changed to 6:00 p.m. to 6'00 a.m. as the regulations for'set netting allowed to fish at these times. He added, a limited fishery from six to six may lessen the pressure. Williams noted, the only problem he saw with these closures at that point in the fiver is that the fish would have already escaped the commercial groups and would go on for catching by the sport fishery group. Williams stated, he had for years tried to stay neutral between the commercial and sport fishing groups. However, commercial fishing has had a long significant and vital history to the community and it was his opinion the commercial fisheries group had been severely damaged over the last several years through the growth of the sport fishery, subsistence fishery, individual use fishery, dipnet fishery, etc. as well as the limited return. Bookey stated he agreed with most of what Williams said except he felt the dipnet fishery really was not a fishery the City of Kenai or council could say would be here or not as it was state-regulated. He added, he did not think a six-to-six closure would be viable because the same amount of people would be using the fishery and then would be using the fishery in a smaller time frame. Bookey suggested the 12- to-6 closure as Ross had recommended. Ross stated the input he had was from both sport and commercial fishery representatives. They both stated it would be nice to have a one-tide period. Ross continued, the problem in making the fishery more stringent, like the 6-to-6 closure, KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 16, 1998 PAGE 15 would not allow folks getting off work who stop to fish before going home. Allowing the closure to be later would probably lessen the opposition to the whole proposal. Bookey stated, another concem of his was the safety issue. He noted, he believed the 12-to-6 closure would be helpful in circumventing danger to those fishing. Williams reported the Board of Fisheries was scheduled to meet in the Kenai/Soldotna area in February. He added, he would like the city manager and council members to attend some of the hearing to know the problems he has had in the past in presenting information to the Board. He noted, last year one person represented himself as representing Kenai and spoke in opposition to the information Williams had presented and was able to get the Board to postpone action on the city's proposal. It was the consensus of council to prepare a resolution to bring forward in January. Discussion -- Kenai Peninsula Borough Animal Control Ordinance. Ross reported the Borough Attorney forwarded a copy of their proposed ordinance to him for review and requested him to comment on the ordinance. Ross explained, he prepared his comments and forwarded them to the Attorney without being aware the Attorney intended to include them in the Assembly packet of information. Ross stated, he was concerned with this action because council had not had an opportunity to review his comments before they were discussed at the Assembly meeting. Ross continued, his comments did not represent they were council's policy, however the document, with council approval, made some recommendations as to what administration would like to see in the contract. Ross continued, his comments included, if the borough passed the ordinance, the City of Kenai did not have the resources to contract with the borough for additional services as the city already provides services for animals brought in from outside the city jurisdiction. If the borough would want to compensate the city for the service, the city would sign a contract to that effect. Ross added, he had been quoted saying he did not envision the city entering into a contract where the city would be responding to citizen calls for services outside the city jurisdiction. If the ordinance was passed, the callers would soon learn to get a response they would have to state the animal was vicious or rabid. If the city was to get into some negotiations with the borough, at council direction, Ross added, he would insist or attempt to insist any response would be at the request of the law enforcement agency of jurisdiction on scene (under a contractual relationship through the borough ordinance). KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 16, 1998 PAGE 16 Assembly Member Bill Popp -- Popp reported he had been asked by the sponsors of the ordinance to speak to council. The intention of the ordinance was to offer an extremely limited animal control outside the city to alleviate situations with dangerous animals and begin animal control in the unincorporated areas of the borough. Popp added, the intentions of the sponsors and their supporters was to work with the cities to f'md an ordinance to meet all needs with/n the scope of the ordinance. The ordinance would be limited and the intention was to f'md common ground where there may be some compensation to the city in return for some sort of services and possibly alleviate some of the expenses the cities already incur with animals being brought in from outside the city limits. Popp added, he would not say whether he was for or against the ordinance as he thought it too early in the debate. He added, the sponsors of the ordinance want to work with all four of the Peninsula cities to see if there would be an ordinance that could be drafted to meet the needs of the cities and borough. Ross asked Popp if any input from other cities was given regarding personnel having to operate under two different ordinances, i.e. taking an animal into the shelter and having two sets of ordinances with criteria for handling and disposal of the animal. Popp answered, that had not been discussed. He added, the only issue arose from other cities was a request from the Soldotna City Manager requesting a second hearing, taking the final hearing on the ordinance to danuary 19. This would give the City of Soldotna Council time to submit their input. Bookey stated he didn't believe the $25,000 discussed in the ordinance, was not nearly enough to cover the city's costs, etc. He added, he was under the impression the city's animal control officers were busy enough within the city. He asked, where would the city get the manpower to take on additional responsibilities. Bookey continued, if the city took on additional manpower, those personnel costs would not be covered with $25,000. Williams agreed and stated he was surprised at the number of animals the City of Kenai Animal Control Shelter handled in 1997 {1600 handled, 1113 animal euthanized, 500 brought in from outside the city limits). Williams noted, 500 animals at $50.00/each (based on the $25,000 the borough wants to pay the city) would not come close to costs involved in regard to equipment, personnel, operation and upkeep of the an/mai control facility, and supplies. Williams agreed, the city could not or should not take on further responsibility with regard to .animals outside the city jurisdiction when not being reimbursed. He added, the $25,000 was taxpayer money. The City of Kenai would be penalized for being a city within the borough because it pays taxes to the borough and the citizens would be penalized twice -- once by the city and once for handling animals outside the city limits for the borough to which they pay taxes as well. ~NAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 16, 1998 PAGE 17 Williams added, he felt it was a no-win situation and hoped something could be worked out. Bookey noted, the city already does more than $25,000 of costs in caring for animals from outside the city jurisdiction already. At this time, the city is taking care of those animals at no charge to anyone other than the citizens of the city. Ross referred to his letter and stated before he forwarded the letter to the borough attorney and stated, Attorney Graves, Finance Director Semmens, Police Chief Moms and Animal Control Officer Godek reviewed the ordinance and contract. The letter was a summation of their comments. Ross asked council to let him know if there are comments in the letter with which they disagree. He added, the comments he made were basically what Councilman Bookey and Mayor Williams said; the city does not have the resources, the funds are not sufficient, the present ordinance structure was not acceptable (there should not be concern of what animal is taken under what set of ordinances). Ross stated he would proceed based on those comments as far as it being the city's position on the issue. Bannock stated he believed the proposal was a no-w/n scenario for the city. If the city doesn't take part in the program, it will continue to take animals from outside the borough. If the city takes part in an agreement with the borough, he felt it was a poorly written proposal. Bannock continued, he could not believe anyone at the borough could believe $100,000 would take care of the borough's dog problem {$25,000 per four cities in the borough). Bannock noted, the city's budget for animal control was approximately $200,000 for 7,000 residents. Using that factor, he believed, the borough should be embarrassed to think the city could do the work for $25,000. Bannock added, while he believed there may be merit to a shared responsibility and a use of the infrastructure in place, he was incredibly disappointed in the proposal offered by the borough. Williams added, the city should be reimbursed for some of the costs involved in handling an_imals from outside the city li_rrtits because taxpayers within locales have responsibilities to their particular governments and should not be relying on taxpayers from outside their locales for support. He noted, the borough is working on the matter, but he did not believe the city and the borough had arrived at an agreement at this time. Discussion -- Kenai Municipal Airport Request for Quahfications-- Aviation Consulting Services-- DRAFT. Ross explained, the proposal information included in the packet would advertise for Request for Qualifications (RFQ) which is part of the typical FAA two-step process. Administration was proposing the use of the RFQ and when proposals are received, KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 16, 1998 PAGE 18 they wanted to have a selection committee review the proposals. The selection committee make-up would include representatives from administration and an Airport Commission and they would review the qualifications of the individuals who submit proposals. Those who the committee feel have the qualifying experience would then be asked to submit actual proposals to implement the program described. The proposal then selected would have a contract negotiated with that proposal. He added, this was the same process FAA required to do the Airport Master Plan. Measles noted the RFQ referred to a "qualified airport consulting firm." He asked if this would eliminate any individuals from applying. Airport Manager Atha stated it would not limit anyone if they had the qualifications. Atha suggested changing it to say firms and/or individuals, consultants. Measles added, it appeared to him the request was being expanded from the original intent by looking at other options for the exiati~g airport. He noted, he thought the council was looldn§ at one specific potential opportunity. Ross stated he was under the impression council wanted to look at the broad gamut of what would be available for airport development, either in its present location or ff the airport were relocated. Measles stated, his concern was the RFQ was very broad and could take a lot longer time to make a choice than the narrow approach they started down when the discussions began last spring. Ross stated, when the firm/individual who are qualified to do the work are considered, he believed the city would be better off choosing a fn'm with local experience in Alaska to give a report where they see commerce in Alaska going. He added, he thought they were looking at what the commercial opportunities available in the future for the city are without restriction to one specific scope of commerce. He agreed, the proposed RFQ was wide open, but it is a survey-type request and he did not anticipate it would be a long project. Williams stated, he felt there must have been something he missed out on in the whole process. He added, he personally removed the completion date on the matter that would have coincided with his next visit to Washington, DC as there was no way it would get done. He continued, the matter had dragged on and on, there had been hearing after hearm§, and discussed what council wants to do and not to do. Williams referred to the minutes of the November 18 council meeting and read "Councilman Measles moved that the council direct the administration to proceed with an RFP for professional services contract using the fa'st four or three items of the Scope of Service on the previous contract as a basis." Williams continued, he believed that's what was done, however this was not an RFP, it was a request for qualifications of an aviation consulting service and that meant ff the council goes out for a request for qualifications, there will be a lot of qualifications to review. He KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 16, 1998 PAGE 19 added, he did not want to hire a major firm as the city has dealt with in the past, to do this kind of work as he believed a major fn-m would cost more money to do the same work and not as good of results would be garnered. Williams added, he was a bit unhappy the matter had not proceeded faster and further, but stood by the fact nothing would get done in Washington, DC this year. He added, he believed it was up to the council to decide whether to move ahead, and if so, to direct administration to move ahead now in the manner they want it to be or forget the whole thing and drop it. Williams noted, that was not something he wanted to do as he was looking at 20 years to the future and wanted to see if there is an opportunity to move in that direction. Ross explained in going after the RFQ, administration was attempting to put the RFQ into the FAA's processes. He added, he did not anticipate there would be an extended period in finding qualified fn-ms. Ross continued, it was administration's intent to send the RFQ out, get recommendations from the State Aviation Division on several fwms they felt would be beneficial to he city, target the RFQ specifically to them as well as malting it general, look at the qualified people and then narrow it down to those from which they wanted proposals submitted. La Shot stated, normally 30 days is given to develop their statement. Williams suggested it would March before all that would be completed. He added, he was concerned because the matter had been in the mill for months and months. Bannock stated, if he was reading it correctly, the idea and action council intended to get out of the RFQ would be a list of people who the city would then go to RFP exclusively. Ross stated, out of this process, there may only be one individual/fnun which the city would request a proposal or the committee may fred there are two qualified entities. Those individuals/fn-ms would then be requested to submit their proposals on hoTM they would go about doing the work. The committee would then pick the best proposal received and negotiate a contract. That phase should go fairly quickly -~ it wouldn't be like re-advertising an RFP as they will be requesting qualifications and those the committee finds they are interested in, they will request those to submit their ideas of how the services would be performed and then enter into a contract with the one selected. Bannock stated he understood the proposal, but remembered the council was taken to task for doing that very thing by selecting who it was from whom they would take their information. If the result of the RFQ is "Joe's Airport Consulting Firm" and the city goes to "Joe's" and give them the list, wouldn't it be the same as what people complained about the city doing in selecting one person in that the whole plate was not asked to give their version of the city's desires. Ross answered, he didn't think the criticism was necessarily fair before because the Code allows negotiation with someone who is qualified for specific work. This is an accepted procedure in the way FAA prefers professional services are requested, i.e. getting a request for KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 16, 1998 PAGE 20 qualifications and interest, see who responds, decide who it is thought could do the best job, then ask that fn'm/firms to submit proposals on how they would do the work, and then pick the fnma and negotiate with them for a contract. Ross added, this would still be an equitable process. Williams stated he could virtually guarantee he would be against the findings when it comes back to council because there are few and limited numbers of fn-ms that could meet the statement of interest being requested. He added, he felt it was a set-up to move toward failure of the project. Measles agreed and added that by broadening it out, you don't have to be an airport expert to do the first phase of what council originally set out to do when the process was started almost one year ago. He added, he thought they were "blowing in the wind" with the matter and that they should either move on and get something done quickly or drop the whole thing. Measles noted, he did not want to deal with the mater for the next two years. Bookey noted, the difference in the time frame from going with this proposal and going to a hard-core RFP was basically the same. Williams stated he didn't think it rested in the time frame now as there was plenty of time with regard to the schedule with the federal govem__m_ent which would be one year from now (next March). Williams added, he believed the issue was in the statement of the fn-ms' interest and qualifications. What was done was moving the process beyond a simple consultant's report to council of findings requested and moved into the realm of a professional consulting fn-m who by very nature of its being will charge considerably more for the amount of work they do. He noted, the city has been in that twice since he was mayor. Williams referred to the RFQ and read what the statement should include, i.e. complete resumes of the personnel, geographic locations where majority of work will be performed, including information to indicate the fn-m's knowledge of the local situation, a description of the f~rm, current workload, how the city's project will be prioritized. Williams continued, maybe the questions need to be asked of a fnma that may be a large fn-m, but in his mind, it was never meant to be a contract to a major world-class fn-rn to answer the baseline questions council wanted answered. The city wants only simple, baseline information from which to start. Bookey stated he agreed with that except somebody was needing to be involved in the project who has past experience or past involvement and he didn't know how to get that information without asking these types of questions. Measles agreed with Bookey, and added if he was a consultant considering the request, he felt the only response would be from someone like Aries Consultants and if the city wanted to go with someone like that there was an opportunity for the city a year ago to negotiate a contract with Aries to add that to other work they were already doing for the city. At KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 16, 1998 PAGE 21 that time, they would probably have done the work for half the cost as they would bid this job to do today. Measles added, not only has a year been lost, but the price probably doubled to get the work done. Ross suggested to change the first sentence "...wishes to retain the professional services of a qualified..." and add "individual" as well as change the language at Item (1) and remove "fn'ms'" and make it "A description of your specialized..." Ross pointed out, making those changes would not omit taldng proposals from individuals. Ross continued, he has not had conversations with Aries as they were not looking to them as the project could result in either validation or modification of the Airport Plan which was done by Aries. He added, this was something brought to him as a concern at the beginning. For Aries to take the contract, it would put them into the position of not addressing their Airport Plan as objectively as another consultant could. Ross continued, Aries may tend to defend the Plan which is not what the city wants. The city wants to look for opportunities that may not have been envisioned or may be in conflict. Ross added, there was no problem in modifying the letter to reflect and encourage individuals to apply. Williams asked how many times Aries had been in contact with any of the city employees since this project had started. Ross answered, he had been contacted once by Aries (some time ago) and he told them at that time (and advised council they had contacted him) the city already had an individual with whom it was negotiating for the s'ervices. Other than that, Ross continued, he had no other conversations with them. La Shot stated Aries had not contacted him about this particular project lately although they had called some time ago asking questions about the project. Atha state he had not been contacted. Williams requested council give administration direction as the draft was not acceptable in the present state. He requested comments from council regarding Ross' suggested changes and moving forward on the project. Bookey stated he had no problem with the form of the RFQ at this time, but if council wanted to make the changes offered, it would be acceptable to him. Bookey added, he would like to see the RFQ finalized and set in motion. Williams asked if council was agreeable to the proposed changes. He added, he was somewhat taken aback because he thought there would be an RFP before council at this meeting. Ross stated in addition to the changes in language encouraging individuals to apply and they would be made. He noted Measles had earlier comments regarding the scope of work, which he thought was in accordance with his motion, and asked ff Measles had suggestions for changes in those areas. Measles answered, he didn't know how broad council wanted the RFQ to be. He added, it appeared to be broad enough that whoever is negotiated with could take it KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 16, 1998 PAGE 22 .anyway they wanted. He continued, he was under the impression throughout the original course, council was looking at one specific opportunity and it had nothing to do with the Airport Master Plan as this would be something totally outside and different from the existing Plan for the airport. Measles stated, he really saw looking at the existing airport opportunities as something completely separate from the commercial heavy cargo situation council began looking at a year ago. t3ookey asked Measles if he would be more comfortable if the RFQ would be limited exclusively to a heavy cargo fueling program as he could see where that could shorten the timeframe even more and allow a decision to be made whether the project would go forward and bring down the cost. Measles agreed and added, that was the intent ~- to get a quick answer if the heavy cargo concept would be feasible or not. If it is feasible, then council would decide what would be the next step. If it is not feasible, the question would be over. Wi!!~ams stated he saw this project similar to that of when there were suggestions a harbor be developed -- a consultant was hired, the answer was brought back (yes it could be built, but no, it was not affordable) and that was the end of the discussion. He added, this is what is needed for this project. Ross suggested changes be made in the bulleted areas (underline -- add, bracket and capitals ~ remove) as: First bullet: "...make an assessment of how future growth of heavy cargo aviation in Alaska.. Second bullet: "...to meet the projected growth of heavy cargo needs of the industry." Third bullet: "...Kenai Municipal Airport if the airport were to be relocated to accommodate heavy cargo operations [IN ITS PRESENT LOCATION, AS WELL AS THOSE THAT MIGHT BE AVAILABLE IF THE AIRPORT WERE TO BE RELOCATED.] Ross asked if council wanted it to be that narrow. 'vVilliams stated they were really mixing the two and understood the need to include language for a municipal airport, but if the municipal airport is defined as something that must be moved, there's a whole other group of studies which will need to be done to accommodate that move which would be what would need to be done to accommodate passenger service, car rentals, etc. He added, those items really had no bearing on what they were requesting in regard to the cargo airport. Measles suggested bulleted items 1 and 2 were modified as Ross suggested, the third bullet would not be required because the first two would answer the questions they want to have answered. Williams suggested going with the shortened version in order to get a vision of what the potential is for the project. Williams added, to move from this point forward would be very cosily. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 16, 1998 PAGE 23 In order to clarify council's desire, Ross reviewed comments made; i.e. make the modifications made in the first two bullets and delete the third. Measles stated yes, and added, the changes would be in the first bullet ""...cargo aviation in Alaska could affect Kenai." and the second bullet, "...and Fairbanks Airports to meet that projected growth." Measles added, ff those proposing state they can meet all the future requirements for the next 100 years and see no effect of this on Kenai, then project will end. If they say it's worth pursuing and here's why, then council will need to decide whether to hire a larger firm to take a further look. Williams asked if council was in agreement. There were no objections or further comments from council. Williams added, council would review the document again at their next meeting. ITEM I: ADMINISTRATION REPORTS I-1. Mayor a. Convention Center-- Williams noted, years ago there was discussion about building a convention center but due to economics of the State and the citizens elected on a vote of eight to one., not to bond to build a convention center, it didn't proceed. He continued, there may be a potential for a private investment group to consider building a convention center in Kenai. Williams noted, he talked with the city manager recently about the FAA lands and the clean-up effort there. Williams requested permission of council to talk with the investment group and do some preliminary cost analysis. He added, the group will be surveying the number of hotel rooms available at present, decide how big a center would have to be, and build their own hotel to fill in the gap between the present rooms and the number of rooms needed to take care of convention goers. Williams continued, in building a convention center of that size, they will need to become the exclusive operator and servicer of the convention center with regard to all catering, etc. He added, there were some tax breaks they are requesting as well. Williams noted, he informed the group they would have to negotiate tax breaks with the borough as well as the city. He added, the group is requesting a ten-year moratorium on property taxes. If the corporation sells within the first ten years, at the time of settlement, all taxes are paid retroactive from the beginning, interest flee. Williams asked council their philosophies as to growth in the tourist industry and whether it would be appropriate to invite the group to Kenai and investigate costs, etc. Bookey asked if the ten-year moratorium on property taxes would be on the convention center or the full facility. Williams answered, it would be on the full KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 16, 1998 PAGE 24 facility, however he indicated the city probably would not be interested in selling the property, but would prefer leasing it and the group would have to pay the six percent lease cost. He added, he also told the group there would be no ten-year moratorium on the sales tax issue and would expect to collect sales tax on all the sales and they had no objection to that. Bookey stated he was concerned about the ten-year moratorium on property taxes. Williams stated, the viability would not be known until it is investigated. Bookey added, there are four hotels in Kenai presently who are not in the best financial shape. With adding a fifth one with a tax exemption, how would that be justified. Williams answered, when they do the survey and they find only 500 rooms would be needed to service the convention center and there are only 250 available, they would build a 250-unit hotel. The other rooms would be available through the other hotels. Williams added, this would offer more room nights for the other hotels without an outlay of additional capital. Bookey stated he would like to discuss this further at the next council meeting. Ross suggested Semmens and Graves also research whether the group's request for a moratorium on taxes would qualify with the borough. Williams stated, he didn't anticipate the borough ordinance as presently written would apply and was why he said this would be an issue which would need to be dealt w/th between the city and borough with a whole new issue of taxation be created for this program. Williams added, in the past moratoriums were given to heavy industry and they are interested in expanding what is allowable for tax moratoriums into tourism industry. Bannock stated, when council was investigating a similar moratorium for ESI, it was found there was no ordinance in the Code like the borough. Graves noted, the city code did not have that inclusion. Bookey referred to Williams' comments about tax moratoriums for heavy industry and added, at that time it was all industry with no competitiveness. This would involve four existing hotels with which the new facility would be in competition. Bookey added, he understood bringing more industry to town and could help make the existing hotels more successful, and felt it was an idea worth considering, but would not want to make a decision at this time. b. Internet Business Investigation -- Wi~ams reported, when he attended the NLC Conference there was much discussion about electronic commerce industry throughout the country. Williams estimated approximately $6 m/llion of electronic business was done on the Peninsula in the last year. He added, durin§ the conference they discussed how electronic commerce will hurt the community in re§ard to lost sales tax. Williams asked council if they had objections to developing a short-lived committee to discuss electronic commerce, how it will affect sales tax, whether the city wants to KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 16, 1998 PAGE 25 support installation of fibre-optic cable, how this type of business will affect job availability, etc. He noted, the committee would be made up of representatives from UPS, Fed Ex, community suppliers, etc. and would be a volunteer group. Costs to the city would include secretarial support, minute preparation, etc. Smalley stated the idea had merit and encouraged council to proceed with the committee as it would impact the future planning for the city. Measles stated he felt it would be worth investigating, but what suggested the Chamber of Commerce Economic Development Committee undertake the investigation instead of forming a new committee. Wilhams stated, he would look to that group to furnish the membership to the committee, but would like to tunnel their vision on this item specifically. Williams noted, there has been discussion between the Fire Department, ESI and Challenger regarding a mutual central production center for programs that can be sent out over the Intemet for which costs could be shared. This could be an area investigated by the committee. Williams requested help from council to identify the elements to put into the work. Council had no further comments or objections. Williams stated he would get in touch with the Chamber's Economic Development Committee. c. All-America City Anniversary Competition -- Williams reported there would be an All-America City competition/anniversary reunion June 24-26, 1999 in Philadelphia and the city had been invited to participate. Williams su§§ested withholdin§ participation until the Year 2000. He explained, the criteria for receivin§ the All-America City Award is review of the best three projects presented by the entrant. He added, he wanted to wait until 2000 in order to use the ARFF, Challen§er and the Public Health Facility. He su§§ested the next bud§et include funds to cover the costs involved. d. Congress of Cities -- Williams reported the conference would be held from March 6-9 in Washington, DC and he planned to attend. While in Washington, he would meet with the congressional delegation to discuss the cold water recovery school as well as other issues. e. T-33 Park-- Williams complimented the Parks & Recreation Department for their efforts in decorating the buildings, etc. and noted the lights on the T-33 had been blown down from the wind. Williams requested they be put back up. Director Frates stated he had requested Public Works to help in doing that, but until now they had not been able to due to their snow removal responsibilities. I-2. City Manager KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 16, 1998 PAGE 26 a. Lot 5, Walkowski/Deland Subdivision -- Ross explained, Will Jahrig approached him regarding this property which he had been leasing and is now interested in purchasing. {The lot was the small triangular piece of land which was cut off when Beaver Loop was realigned into Bridge Access Road.} Ross noted, in 1992 council passed an ordinance declaring this property not needed for public purpose and in May, 1992 a resolution was passed which found the property was such a small and irregular size and shape that it was of no value to the city and could not be developed (not enough room with setbacks, water/sewer, etc.) and stated it could be sold to the adjacent property owner, Jahrig. The sale was authorized at that time, but did not proceed. Ross continued, Jahrig was now interested in purchasing the property and presented an appraisal for the property which was reviewed by administration. Based on the city's past appraisal, a second appraisal will be ordered. After review of the second appraisal, a decision would be made to go with the city's appraisal or negotiate a sale price with Jahrig. That sale price decision would come back to council in the form of a resolution which would reiterate council's 1992 position and proceed with the sale. Ross asked council if they had any issues or facts of which they were aware surrounding their prior decisions of which he was not aware. Williams asked if there was any possible way a building could be built on that piece of ground. Ross suggested if there was room, it would be for a very small building. There would be a problem in placing a well and septic and getting the lot approved. Williams stated he asked to see if there was some way to shortcut the process as there would not be enough room on the property to build anything substantial and the adjoining property owner could make use of the property. Ross stated it would return to council as a resolution with a price either from the appraisal or a negotiated price, but was curious if there was any additional information council had in regard to the property and their prior decisions. Williams suggested administration review the utility right-of-ways and reserve the area needed if it would go down the road on that side of the road. Ross noted, the utility easement there runs perpendicular to the road and not parallel on that lot and took out a fairly large piece of the triangle (on the property) for that easement. Bannock asked what Jahrig's appraisal was and Ross answered, $4,000 which he felt was too low and chose not to accept it. He added, the appraisal was done locally. Ross noted, administration had requested an estimate for the new appraisal. The 1992 appraisal set the worth at $9,800. Administration was requesting an appraisal review -- reviewing the 1992 appraisal and Jahrig's appraisal so that a negotiated price can be set. Kr'-NAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 16, 1998 PAGE 27 There were no objections to proceeding with the appraisals and Ross was directed to proceed. b. Police Grant -- Ross reported the Kenai Police Department had received a notification of award for a $75,000 grant to partially fund an officer's position over the next three years. The award is contingent upon the city agreeing to the local match and including the amounts in the budget. Ross continued, he wanted council to be aware of the grant award because there may be a press release from the federal government. c. Mission Street Utility Relocations -- Ross reported he met with property owners along Mission Street, as well as Komelis to discuss a plan for alternative water/sewer service for the residences that will not be subject to destruction by erosion. He added, the plan will come to council in January. The matter will also come to council during budget for removal and relocation of the services. d. Holiday Closures -- Ross reported the some of the city offices will place notices that they will be closing at noon on Christmas and New Year's Eves. e. Modified Aviation RF(~ -- Ross reported he will have copies of the RFQ available in the Clerk's Office on Monday for anyone who wants to review and comment. Moore asked if the Airport Commission would have to review the RFQ. Ross stated, he did not have the document forwarded to the Commission for review because there would be a member of the Commission on the committee to review the submitted proposals. When asked, Measles stated he saw no need for it to go to the Commission for review. I-3. Attorney Attorney Graves reported the hard copy of the new Kenai City Code had been received. The CD Roms and electronic version for the home page will be ready for marling and placement on the website by December 23 or shortly thereafter. I-4. City Clerk a. AML Dues -- Clerk Freas referred to a copy of the bill for 1999 membership dues to AML which was included in the packet. Freas noted the bill was for $6,660 and council had included $6,000 in the budget to cover the cost. Council directed the bill for the dues be paid. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 16, 1998 PAGE 28 b. Planning ~ Zoning Commission Training -- Freas reported she received a cost proposal from the consultant and DCRA representative she had contacted at council's request in regard to training for the Plarm~g & Zoning Commission. She noted, the cost estimate was $4,775 and added, there would be funds available in the Legislative Professional Services budget from the amount placed there for lobby services. Freas reviewed the topics to be covered and reminded council of the suggested dates discussed in a previous meeting. Freas requested direction as to the dates for the training. Bannock stated he was concerned that an expert would teach the members of the Commission how to be good commissioners. He suggested the training be done administratively in-house as to the rules the City of Kenai Planning & Zoning Commissioners can and cannot do, considerations, etc. Bannock added, he was concerned the consultants would instruct the city's commissioners how to do planning and zoning, what would be good and bad decisions, etc. Williams asked if council had not discussed having some parliamentary procedure training as well for all the commissions. Freas answered, it had been discussed, however at the time it was thought to keep the two separate due to the complexities of planning and zoning. Discussion followed and council determined they would prefer the training be done in-house in February after the third appointment to the Planning & Zoning Commission is made. Freas was also asked to contact the Commission as to the scope of training they would like. I-5o Finance Director Semmens reported over the past year, several inquiries asking when the city would allow making direct payments for water/sewer bills through the electronic banking system. In investigating the question, Semmens added, he found the software the city uses to make direct deposits of payroll checks is the same software used to make direct payments. Semmens noted, a copy of the direct payment authorization agreement was included in the packet for council review and added, unless council has objections, they would proceed with the direct payment process. No objections were stated. 1-6. Public Works a. Komelis reported the status of the city's STIP projects; i.e. Overland and boat launch road and parking, and the Birch Island Interpretative Site. Komelis noted, the city's projects made it through the regional cuts and were reviewed by the KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 16, 1998 PAGE 29 state. He learned from the state, the Birch Island project scored very well in the statewide review; the Overland project (Mission to Main Street) scored better; the boat launch road and parking was not scored. Komelis explained, it was not scored because under the ISTEA Program, there was a special clause for Alaska that allowed funds to be used for local and minor collector roads. This clause had been omitted in the new STIP-21 program. DOT believes Senator Stevens will have that changed. Until the clause is included, they won't score the minor road projects. Smalley asked if it was corrected, would those projects be scored as if they were submitted this year or wait until next year. Komelis answered, DOT stated they would be scored as if they were submitted this year. Komelis added, DOT reported the STIP 2000 program will actually be released in January for public review and comment. After that, there will be a time for the city to comment. b. Komelis reported he had finally received an est/mate for placing the new street lights which were budgeted for this year. This year the city has written to the residents in the area of where the new street light is to be placed and asked for comments. Measles requested Komelis contact DOT regarding the sequencing of the street light at Spur and Forest Drive. He noted, the red light for Forest is very long, even when there is no traffic in sight on the Spur. Bookey stated his concern the city's street lights late at night are not consistent, i.e. some flash yellow, some flash red, etc. He suggested they be changed to be consistent. Council agreed. Smalley reported the snow removed from the Kenai Middle School is pried very high along Tinker and some is falling into the streets. Exiting the parking lot of the school is dangerous due to lack of visibility, etc. Smalley asked if the Borough could be encouraged to have the snow contractor to haul the snow off. Williams reported the street light across from his office on Willow was not working properly. I-7. Airport Manager Measles noted some time ago Atha had reported an aircraft manufacturer had expressed some interest in moving an operation to Kenai. He asked if they had been in touch of late. Atha answered he had talked with them a few months ago, but not since then. Measles added, he had heard the company was real close to having a plant based in Eagle River. Atha stated he would contact the company. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 16, 1998 PAGE 30 ITEM J: DISCUSSION J- 1. Citizens D~bbi~ Sonb~rg-- 410 Cinderella, Kenai. Stated she would like returning items on the agenda be titled consistently in order to better recognize them. Sonberg added, she was relieved to see some of council/administration confused in their discussions as to what had gone on in the past, what had been decided or not, etc. as she and others have been confused in the past. She added, she appreciated the patience shown for her and others as items have been brought to council. Sonberg continued, at the Airport Commission where there was a large public discussion on the former contract, the chair of the Airport Commission stopped those making comments and corrected them stating, it was not an air cargo project but a local airport matter. She added, those in the audience let the chair know that from the very beginning they had seen that term used. Sonberg noted, council again discussed the matter at this meeting and it was now back to being clearly stated as an air cargo issue. She added, the matter had not only been confusing to the general public, she believed, but to some commissioners and council members. Sonberg noted at one of the Planning & Zoning Commission meetings, Kebschull had requested the Commission to advise her of date and topic suggestions for a training session. c. Bob P~t~rs -- Old Towne. Peters noted, he had come to council during their last meeting looking for some uniformity in the voting powers of student representatives to the city commissions (Parks & Recreation and Library). Peters asked if any decision had been made in that regard. Williams answered, as he understood it, to give student representatives voting powers, by ordinance a change would have to be made to the make-up of the boards, commissions or committees. W~ll~ams added, he was not sure he would want to have a voting student member on some of the commissions, committees and boards because their longevity on the entity is short, they do not have a lot of memory of actions taken in the past, the history needed to arrive at decisions, etc. Peters added, he had discussed the matter with City Attorney Graves and knew they are advisory commissions and the vote is pretty meaningless as matters come back before council for a final decision. He noted, if he was a student and volunteered time to a commission, it would be more fulfilling if they were able to vote on matters brought before the commission. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 16, 1998 PAGE 31 Peters noted, the Parks & Recreation Commission had always had a voting student representative. The Library Commission also had a student representative, however it was not a voting membership. Peters asked ff the Library Commission had the ability to give their student representative voting powers or the Parks & Recreation Commission to remove voting fights from its student member. He noted, he was looking for uniformity for all. A brief discussion followed and it was determined the matter should be included on the next agenda for further discussion. J-2. Council Bookey -- Councilman Bookey wished Representative-Elect Smalley the best of luck while in Juneau. Bookey also thanked the street crews for their excellent work in removing snow. He noted, he had not had one complaint phone call through all of the snow days. He requested Komelis pass the message on to the street crew. Moore -- Wished Smalley good luck in Juneau. Measles -- Wished Smalley good luck in Juneau. Measles also reported he would not be in attendance at the January 6, 1999 meeting. Bannock -- Bannock also passed his compliments to the street crews and wished Smalley best of luck. Smalley-- Thanked the council, city administration, and employees to allow him to serve on the council. Smalley added, he would miss the council but was looking forward to his position as state representative. He noted, there have been some major changes during his tenure on the council and there will be more in the future. Smalley also noted he had not received any complaint calls in regard to the snowplowing. He added, the crews were doing a fantastic job. Williams -- Wished Smalley good luck in Juneau and also thanked the street crews for their snowplowing efforts.

In support of this I submit this letter and attached resume as a brief introduction of myself. This position is of great interest to me since my families future is tied to this area and I would like to have a more active role in protecting and encouraging the quality of life we all enjoy in this area. My children are enrolled in the Kenai Middle and Mountain View Elementary schools. They participate in both the regular school activities and after school and sununer sports programs. My son is also active in scouting. Since moving to the Kenai area; my wife, Joanna, has been actively involved in assisting physically and mentally disabled members of the community and is currently employed by Frontier Conununity Services. We own our home in Kenai and our family enjoys and takes advantage of the fishing and other outdoor opportunities the peninsula offers. I feel I have the qualifications to contribute to and learn from the council position. My background in the Army and banking has allowed me many opportunities to participate in team leadership and community development roles. My years as a banker taught me to listen, assess, and act decisively in developing and meeting the needs of customers. Because of my positions I have been primarily involved in business and community growth and development. My current position allows me a more micro view of business development. It has moved me into a con~uodity industry rather than service and is quickly expanding my knowledge base and network of business associates. Because of past experiences I have developed the ability to communicate effectively and analyze situations correctly while making decisions. This has been possible by being creative and flexible. Success in the past has stemmed from a strong commitment and sense of professionalism. I keep high standards for my work, goals, and am known for my ability to follow through.

Graves, City Attorney December 30, 1998 Appointment of student members of city commissions The issue of student members of city commissions (other than Planning & Zoning0 has come up during the last two council meetings. Currently the Parks & Recreation Commission has a student member who is one of the seven regular voting members. The Library Commission has a non-voting student member in addition to the seven regular voting commission members. KMC 1.90.010 provides that city commissions shall have seven voting members. If the council wishes to appoint student members to the commissions there are three basic ways it could do so. First, it could simply appoint the student as a regular commission member as was done with the Parks & Recreation Commission. KMC 1.90.030(Qualifications) does not state an age requirement as a qualification for service on a city commission. Second, it could appoint the student as an eighth ad hoc non-voting member of the commission as was done with the Library Commission. Third, it could amend the municipal code to designate a seat (either one of the seven regular voting seats or a non-voting eighth seat) on the commissions for a student. If the code were changed to require a regular voting seat for a student, the issue would come up whether we would have to unseat a current commission member to give his/her seat to a student member. 1.90.010 Chapter 1.90 STANDARD PROCEDURES FOR BOARDS, COMMISSIONS AND COMMITTEES Sections: 1.90.010 Creation. 1.90.020 Duties. 1.90.030 Qualifications. 1.90.040 Terms. 1.90.050 Proceedings. 1.90.060 Specific requirements of boards, commissions and committees. 1.90.010 Creation. All boards, commissions and committees creat- ed by the Council of the City of Kenai, shall consist of seven (7) members who shall be nominated by the Mayor and confirmed by the City Council from applications submitted to the City Clerk. A chairman and vice-chairman shall be selected annually and shall be elected from and by the appointed mem- bers. The Mayor and one Council Member elected by the Council as ex-officio members and as consul- tants of any board, commission or committee, may attend all meetings, but shall have no voting power on the board, commission or committee. A member of Council or City administrative staff shall attend all meetings of boards, commissions and committees and supply staff support. 1.90.020 Duties. (a) Members of boards, commissions and commit- tees shall be required to establish policies relat- ing to their respective organization. They shall act in an advisory capacity to department heads within the City Administration if there are such departments in the City organization that di- rectly relate to the board, commission or com- mittee. (b) If the board, commission or committee has in- come stated within the City of Kenai annual budget, said board, commission or committee shall work with the City Manager to establish expenses projected for the year for approval by the City Council. 1.90.030 Qualifications. A member of a board, commission or commit- tee must be a resident of the City of Kenai, unless the board, commission or committee is specifically exempted by Council from this requirement. The member cannot be an officer or employee of the City of Kenai. If any member should move his residence from the corporate limits of the City of Kenai (if applicable), is an officer or employee of the City of Kenai, or shall be elected or appointed as an officer or employee of the City of Kenai, the service of such member shall terminate immediately. He should be aware that he will serve without sala- 13', but will be reimbursed for all reasonable expens- es incurred in connection with this service, only after approval by Council. 1.90.040 Terms. (a) A member of a board, commission or commit- tee shall serve for a term of three (3) years, unless the board, commission or committee is specifically exempted by Council from this requirement. At renewal date, the Mayor, with consent of the Council, can reappoint the mem- ber or recommend a replacement. (b) The terms of the initial board, commission or committee member shall be staggered so that three (3) members will be appointed for one year;, two members will be appointed for two years; and two members will be appointed for three years. Terms shall commence on January I of each year. 1.90.050 Proceedings. (a) All boards, commissions and committees will have regularly scheduled meetings which shall be open to the public. Exceptions to the meet- ing requirements shall be established by Coun- cil. Permanent records or minutes shall be kept of all proceedings and such minutes shall re- cord the vote of each member upon every question.

Graves, City Attorney DATE: December 30, 1998 RE: Economic Development Tax Exemption The question came up during the last council meeting of whether a hotel/convention center could qualify for a property tax exemption under the Kenai Peninsula Borough Code and/or Title 29. The borough economic property tax exemption is contained in KPC 5.12.116. The borough exemption allows for an exemption of 50% of the assessed value of the property for up to five years. In order to qualify for the exemption the property must: 1) have not been previously taxed by the borough; 2) create employment in the borough; 3) generate sales outside the borough of goods and services produced in the borough or materially reduce the importation of goods or services outside from the municipality. A new hotel/convention center would not appear to be able to meet the third prong of the eligibility test. It would not generate sales outside the borough nor would it reduce importation of goods or services to the borough. The language of KPC 5.12.116 is taken largely from AS 29.45.050(m). The state statute allows for a partial or total exemption of economic development property up to five years. The borough has opted to allow only a partial (50%) exemption. The three criteria for eligibility in KPC 5.12.116 and AS 29.45.050(m) are the same. ~he eligibility criteria in AS 29.45.050(m) are specifically applicable to home role municipalities under AS 29.10.200(46). Thus, a municipality could not by ordinance deviate from the eligibility criteria in AS 29.45.050(m). In summary, 1) it does not appear that a hotel/convention center would meet the eligibility criteria under the borough code [KPC 6.12.116] or state statute [AS 29.45.050(m)]; and 2) a home rule municipality does not have statutory authority to deviate from the eligibility requirements for an economic development tax exemption contained in AS 29.45.050(m).

Graves, City Attorney DATE: January- 6, 1999 RE' Update on Economic Development Tax Exemption I wanted to update the Council on some additional information regarding the Borough and State economic development tax exemptions. I have discovered some legislative history regarding AS 29.45.050(m) which indicates that the intent was to be less restrictive than appears in the statute. Specifically, it appears there is some language in the record which indicates a municipality (including home rule) could grant exemptions ro economic development property which created jobs within the municipality without either generating sales outside the municipality or materially reducing the importation of goods or services to the municipality. If that history reflects the intent of the statute, the City could enact a city property tax exemption that would cover a hotel/convention center. Reviewing the legislative history- is a painstaking process and more review is needed. I will continue my research and let you know the outcome. According to the Borough, a hotel/convention center would not qualify for an exemption under KPC 5.12.116. However, the Borough is considering changing their ordinance to relax the standard to get an economic development tax exemption. If it does so, the hotel/convention center could very easily qualify for such an exemption. In summary: 1) a hotel/convention center would not qualify for the Borough tax exemption as it is currently written; 2) the Borough is considering changing its ordinance to make it easier to qualify for the exemption; 3) there is legislative history' indicating a municipality could adopt an ord/nance allowing a tax exemption to an entity which created employment within the municipality. Let me know if you have any questions.

Pg 3 of 3 Bank of America December 22, 1998 The Honorable John Williams Office of the Mayor 210 Fidalgo Avenue, Steo 200 Kenai, AK 99611 Mark R. Smith President Dear Mayor Williams: I want to personally inform you that we have entered into a definitive agreement to sell substantially all of Bank of America's consumer branch operations in Alaska to Northrim Bank. The sale includes eight branches, primarily located in Anchorage, which contain our local consumer and small business activities. Bank of America will continue to be active in the Alaska market because the sale does not include many of the bank's traditional commercial banking accounts. We are retaining those corporate and individual clients whose banking and financial services needs are national and global in scope. While Bank of America's large product line and extensive operations will be able to most effectively serve these large commercial account relationships, our current Alaska branch system is very limited in scale and scope. Additionally, in the near future, our branch network is not expected to roach the essential size needed locally to be fully competitive. Therefore, we decided to sell our Alaska retail operations to Northrim Bank. By adding our franchise to its own, Northrim Bank will be better positioned to serve the unique needs of the ama's consumer and small business markets Our customers should receive the same high level of service at Northrim Bank that they have come to expect from Bank of Amedca, with access to an expanded branch network. Northdm's philosophy, "Customer First Service," is similar to the deep commitment Bank of Amedca has to customer service. We believe that Northdm Bank will be able to operate our remaining branches in a manner that best suits the needs of local customers. The services we offer our existing retail customers will remain unchanged until the sale is closed, which is expected to occur by second quarter 1999. Just before the sale, the Juneau, Kenai, Ketchikan and Unalaska branches that am not being sold to Northdm Bank will be closed, since it does not make business sense to try to maintain such a severely scaled down operation. All branch customers will be notified well in advance of any changes that will affect their banking accounts and services. Customers who choose to stay with Bank of Amedca will have their accounts transferred to our Main Branch in Washington state. Most Bank of Amedca associates will join Northdm Bank. They should benefit by being part of a dynamic, well-run organization that is dedicated to providing local career opportunities to good performers. All displaced associates who are willing to relocate will be placed in the bank's Priodty Placement Program. They will receive priodty consideration for open positions in the bank and will have access to a consultant who will help them match their skills and interests with internal job openings. Associates who do not find another position will be eligible for the bank's severance package.

Hello, readers! It's almost Christmastime, so first, happy holidays to you ail. We're publishing a year- end issue so that we may describe the happen- ings and events associated with last month's gen- eral election. Not that we'll ever forget this one, but we thought you might like to hear directly from the division in a timely fashion what we witnessed between the end of September and now. We also thought new legislators, who join our mailing list with this issue, might enjoy seeing what Election News is like before activities in Juneau cut into their leisure reading time. See you again in March. Happy New Year! Process to update voter rolls gets underway According to figures released by the Division of Elections December 1, there are 456,914 regis- tered Alaskan voters. Division officials know that number is inflated and because new law now al- lows for purging voter rolls for specific reasons, plans are underway to bring the information up to date. General Election wrap-up Every election year has its surprises, but 1998 was full of them. The Division of Elections realized early on that introducing to the state's voters a new $2 million ballot tabulation system--Accu-Vote---would be a major undertaking. We therefore prepared for Accu-Vote "surprises" immediately, thinking that in the 275 Accu-Vote precincts and at the accumulator center in the director's office, we needed to be (super) especially on our toes at election time in case "something" happened. (Continued on pac~e 7} Kids vote, too! The division will send mailings to voters who have been out of contact for two years, who have not voted in any election for two years, or who have had mail returned undeliverable, asking them to verify their address and confirm they are active voters. Eventually such people could be put on an _Tnsid~ ~Phis IssTI~ inactive list, still allowed to vote, but until they do sowould not be counted in voter turnout figures. 2 How general election voting went At the Baranof Hotel Election Central November 3, Kids Voting Juneau tallied results from its own election as results from the "adult" election poured in from around the state. Concentrating hard on the project at hand are ballot tabulators Alison Bremner, left, and Cheryl Easterwood (from the League of Women Voters), a mother and daughter team. See related story, page 5. REAA, CRSA and Haines elections Kids, voting and public issues go together The division's election program specialist, Gall 3 Fenumiai, is heading up the project. "We've now . begun to develop the forms,and procedures that ~,. will be used in the process,' she says. "This will include determining how VREMS (the state's voter d,. registration and election management computer system) will interface in the project. 5 (Continued on page 4) Update on political party status Meet Region I's Pamela Crowe 2 1998 General Election results Except for readers who live Outside (as we say in Alaska), everyone on the Election News mailing list knows by now who was elected or retained (in the case of the judiciary) and what ballot mea- sures passed in the 1998 general elec- tion. It is for our Outside readers, therefore, and because it wouldn't be appropriate if a Division of Elections newsletter didn't publish the results of the election after conducting the election, that we offer the following official information' Senator Frank Murkowski was re- elected, as was Congressman Don Young. Governor Tony Knowles and Lt. Governor Fran Ulmer, running as a team, were reelected. Ten state senators (half the 20-person body) were elected as were 40 state House members. (We won't list all the names.) Thirteen members of the judiciary, run- ning against their record, and including Supreme Court Justice Robert Eastaugh, were retained. The following ballot measures passed' Ballot Measure 2 Constitutional amendment limiting mar- dage Ballot Measure 3 Constitutional amendment to reorganize the reapportionment board Ballot Measure 5 An act prohibiting billboards Ballot Measure 6 Requiring government to use English Ballot Measure 7 Term limits pledge for candidates Ballot Measure 8 Bill allowing medical use of marijuana A bill prohibiting trapping wolves with snares, Ballot Measure 9, did not pass. Election N ws Message from the Director As every election cycle draws to a close, it's time to assess what went well and where improvements could be made in the voting process. A lot went well in 1998. With backing and encouragement from Lt. Governor Ulmer, the Division of Elections campaigned actively for Accu-Vote, the optical scan ballot tabulation system we knew we needed to replace our outdated punch card system. The legislature came through with $2 million in funding, we trained ourselves to use new hardware and software, then trained election boards to operate Accu-Vote units and modems. In the August primary and November general elections, Accu-Vote performed as well as the designers and computer programmers at Global Election Systems told us it would. We were pleased. Voters across the state appear to be impressed with the system, too, and that pleases us very much. Perhaps Accu-Vote will be an incentive to increase voter turnout! Elsewhere in the December newsletter, you'll find a recap of general election hap- penings as well as a story describing the aspects of running an election as seen through the eyes of a supervisor who does just that. As far as election years go, it was a difficult one, but with a good staff (and we have one) plus all the folks who help us as temporary employees, election workers, and volunteers, we made it. (And we're glad we don't have to d.o it again soon.) Next month the legislature convenes, so I'd like to welcome legislators to Juneau, especially new legislators. If you have questions about elections, please give us a call or stop by to visit. Our door is open. Stop by for any reason. We'd be delighted to see you. ' Projects needing attention in 1999 are already on the table. They begin with voter list maintenance but other projects need attention, too, and we're organizing task forces to review a number of issues as I write this. An election cycle always demonstrates the need for change. But it's a great system. Once again the people have used their vote as their voice. They've told us whom they want in public office and how they feel about public policy issues, if we helped them through the process to make these decisions then we've done our job. Thanks to you all, especially to our great municipal clerks, for your outstanding support in 1998. I wish you a happy holiday season. Sandra J. Stout Director '3 ' Meet Region ! Supervisor Pam Crowe! Election News pal clerks to determine convenient locations for the voter. She then sends out agreements and gets preclearance from the Department of Justice if boundaries or locations chan§e. Next she contacts political parties and municipal clerks to inquire about recommendations for her pool of election work- ers. Then she appoints chairs who in turn suggest board members. She develops a training plan. "This takes a tremen- dous amount of time," she says. "We set up all logistics for travel, including when and how to go, do we go ourselves or do we fly chairs and workers to hub locations. We learn what's impacting a community such as a fair or special meetings." Actual training takes place in June and July, and for Pam and Alyce, it lasts six weeks. Pam Crowe Pam supervises 107 precincts. Multiply that number by five and you have the number of people who work at her polling places. Pam also recruits and trains absentee voting officials (she has 36) and workers at seven absentee voting sites such as airports. She arranges three-hour training sessions during the day and evening. "Some of our election workers have regular daytime jobs so they either take leave to work for us on Election Day or are given the day off by their employers to help," she says. Region I election supervisor Pam Crowe likes adventure. ~She grew up on a ranch in Northern California. When she /:moved to Juneau right after graduating from high school, she got there by driving the Alaska Highway with her mother and siblings. She commercial fished for 15 years with her husband, Chris, whom she met the day she arrived. She has home schooled her three children (now grown) and worked in the Juneau School District with children who had special physical and emotional needs. She likes her present job because "every day is different and the job is constantly evolving." A live-wire people person who talks a mile a minute, Pam's motto is, "If you're not having fun, do something else." A good organizer, Pam says "In this job you follow the law and pay attention to details." It takes a certain kind of personality to work in elections, she believes. "You can't worry about going home at 5 p.m. You have to do whatever it takes to get the job done. The only way you can do that is to really love what you're doing, and I do." Pam supervises an area that includes all of Southeast Alaska, Kodiak Island and the Kenai Peninsula. What is unique about Region lis that it includes a number of medium-size population groups. "I've got Juneau, Ketchikan, Sitka, Petersburg, Wrangell, Kodiak, Homer, Seward, Soldotna and Kenai--aii central locations sur- rounded by smaller communities," she says. During an election year she follows a master plan to get these communities ready to vote. It begins in January when she and her administrative assistant, Alyce Houston, evaluate polling places and precincts, working with muni- "(Election workers) are people who give. It's a celebration for them." - Pam Crowe During this period Pam and the other supervisors revise forms to accommodate legislative changes, order them and organize polling-place supplies. "Everything that goes out to a polling place has a site-ID label on it so that we know where it's from when it comes back," she says. Supplies, then ballots, are mailed five weeks before an election. "1 spend a lot of time on the phone with voters, candidates and the press." Pam notes. People choosing to vote absentee usually have a number of questions. She also spends a lot of time talking to her chairs about training and election proce- dures. What keeps election workers interested in their Iow- paying jobs year after year? "Self-gratification," says Pam. "They enjoy doing it for the sake of doing it. They are people who give. it's a celebration for them." The Region I supervisor says that election workers are de- lighted with Accu-Vote, the state's new ballot tabulation system. "Some of the election workers who liked it most were those whose precincts went directly from hand counting ballots to Accu-Vote. One of these places was Petersburg. A worker there put her arms around the Accu-Vote ballot box and said, 'Oh, I love you,' giving it a big hug," Pam chuckled. "That was fun to watch." (Continued on page 6) 4 REAA, CRSA, Haines elections certified The Division of Elections has certified results from 18 Regional Educational Attendance Area (REAA) school board elections and three Coastal Resource Service Area (CRSA) board electionS held October 6. The division has also certified the Haines consolidation elec- tion held November 3. The division conducts elections in com- munities and villages where no local governing bodies exist. REAAs are ru- ral school districts and CRSAs are service areas governed by boards that deal with coastal resource and water use management issues. The division also supervises incorporation, disso- lution, and liquor option elections. Voting in REAAs 13 and 20 took place by mail. This is the second year in a row that by-mail school board elections have been held in the Regional Edu- cationai Attendance Areas because of its convenience for voters. In Haines, voters considered the ques- tion, "Shall the existing first class City of Haines and the existing third class Haines Borough be consolidated into the new home rule Haines Borough?" The voters answered yes, 542; no, 545. Runoff elections were held in REAAs #5 and #22, with #5's turning out in a tie. Director Sandi Stout flipped a coin, which determined that the winner was Wayne A. Morgan over "Mike" Franklin. Results of REAA #22's run- off stayed the same, with John Atchak winning over Frank Chayaikun, Voter list, continued... She noted that approval of forms must come from the U. S. Department of Justice before actual work may begin. That will take approximately 60 days. Legislation passed last year estab- lished a voter list maintenance proce- dure that, while following rquirements of the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 related to purging voter rolls, still permits removal of inactive voters on Alaska's list. Interest in division's web site skyrockets During the month of November internet browser interest in the division web site pages skyrocketed from October: 129,288 hits compared to 77,298 hits. The total number of user sessions was 16,359 com- pared to 9,575 in October. Browsers expressed greatest interest in our homepage and election results. Down the list were constitutional amendment ballot language, other ballot measure lan- guage, and 1998 primary election results, followed by 1998 general election candi- dates and the Official Election Pamphlet introduction. The most active day of the week was Tues- day; the least active day was Saturday. The most active hour was mid-morning and least active hour, between 2 and 3 a.m. Webmaster Barb Whiting notes, however, that activity related to the web site takes place 24 hours a day. U. S. residents wanted to know about us more than people from other parts of the world, and the greatest numbers of brows- ers were Alaskans. Various Alaska cities were an interest bloc group in first place, followed by Anchorage (standing alone), Vienna, VA, and Juneau (also alone). The average number of hits during the past five months (July - November) per month was 67,794. During the first six months of 1998 the average number of hits per month was 14,577. Editor's Note: The November issue of civic.com, the magazine for information technology professionals in state and local government, has listed Alaska as one of the top 10 election web sites in America for 1998, specificiaily citing the division's voter history information and statement of vote as "best features." Congratulations to webmaster Barb Whiting, and to Paula Smedley, who designed the voter pamphlet site. Election News Division updates political party status The Division of Elections monitors the sta- tus of political parties in order to deter- mine whether they meet legal guidelines for recognition. A recognized political party is an organized group of voters with a political program that either nominated a candidate for governor who received at least throe percent of the total votes cast for governor at the preceding general elec- tion for governor or has registered voters equal to throe percent of the votes cast for governor in the last election. The figure representing three percent of those voting for governor in last month's election is now 6,605. On November 3, the Green Party lost its status as a recognized political party be- cause it received 2.92 percent of the votes cast for governor. The party recovered its recognized status following subsequent night counts of absentee and questioned ballots and the audit by the State Review Board. It has officially cast 3.01 percent of the votes for governor. Within the state of Alaska, the party has approximately 3,300 members. Qualifying as a recognized political party as a result of last month's election is the Republican Moderate Party, whose can- didate for governor received 6.15 percent of the vote although only 515 people offi- cially belong to the party. There are now approximately 76,000 Democrats, 113,000 Republicans and 18,000 members of the Alaskan Indepen- dence Party in the state. Voters who reg- ister as non-partisan or undeclared are classified in categories, not as members of a party. Everyone else is classified as "other." The Libertarian and Reform Parties have limited official party status, meaning they currently exist only for the purpose of se- lecting candidates for electors for presi- dent and vice president of the United States. 5 Election News Kids get the process down right! ile election officials and the general public talk about poor voter turnout and voter apathy, kids around the state and across land are out voting and promoting participation in the electoral process. Two student groups--Kids Voting Alaska (through its local affiliates) and the National Student/Parent Mock Election actually conducted elections, tabulated results and released them last month. Kids Voting is a program for K - 12 students, while Student/Parent Mock Election is for high school kids. Results from Alaska's mock election, held October 29 in more than 20 high schools across the state, were telephoned to the organization's national headquartem for release along with results from other participating states. More than 20,000 students participated in Kids Voting elections statewide November 3. At Juneau Election Central, a class from the local high school Phoenix Program displayed projects that answered the question, "How Can We Impact the Democratic Process to Influence the Future?" Students discussed such subjects as appropriate information for voters to kn°w, improving the school campus, interpreting ballot propositions, and understanding the Juneau mad access situation. More than 100 students worked on the 25 projects displayed. "Kids," said instructor Erik Lundquist, 'dse to an occasion. They were really pleased to be included in Election Central activities so they could talk about their work to the public." David Marshall (left, wearing hat), and Chester Carson (dght), explain to an observer why they believe students at Juneau-Douglas High School need an outdoor park area at the school. David and Chester and two other JDHS students put the ex- hibit together. Tommy Fagnent reviews the research for the project his team produced' "Vote Yes On Ballot Measure 8," which advocated the use of marijuana for medical purposes.

During an election year the division is blessed by the presence and assistance of bright, dedicated, enthusiastic, energetic, hard- working and long-suffering temporary help. There ought to be another title than "temporary" for these great people who make our lives easier in so many ways during a busy and hectic season. These are the folks who process absentee ballots, organize polling place supplies and enter voter history into VREMS. They work with election boards and produce the state's Official Election Pamphlet. They answer the phone, run errands, and do whatever needs doing to help us put on elections. We couldn't get along without them! Could we call them our "electionais"? There isn't such a word but we ought to establish a really great one for them. For now, however, we'll simply say thank you! From the director's office: Lynne Collins, Paula Smedley, Anne-Marie Palumbo, Amanda Webb, Shanie Wen/, Mike Matthews, Marcia Wilcox, Roxanne Turner, Merridy Davis and Lisa Oliver. Region I: Sarah Finley, Andrea Watts, Glenda Palmer and Aieja Devito. Region i1: Caroline Bolar, Sheree Kimura, Melody Nibeck, Lorraine Smith and Stephani Batchelder. Election happiness! - Pam Crowe and Global Election Systems' Robert Chen share a moment of pleasure on primary election night, August 25, following the successfitl and speedy delivery of Accu-Vote returns. Robert, wearing his lucky election night tie, was in Juneau to assist the division in its operation of the new system, and Pam was supervising the election in Region I. One thing that's clear to Pam Crowe is that Accu-Vote could not have been implemented without assistance from the state's municipal clerks. "They made it possible," she said. "They were my eyes, ears, hands and feet in the statewide elections this year." Clerks tested memory cards for accu- racy prior to the elections, and they sealed and packed Accu-Vote cases for board pickup. They are housing the Accu-Vote units in their offices between elections. They assisted in recruiting Election Day trouble shooters and other people who help the division. "Clerks give a lot more than they have to," says Pam. There's a nice reward for clerks, however. They are able to use Accu-Vote in their municipal elections. "My good relationship with municipal clerks has evolved in the last few years," Pam says. "They are modeling their forms and training materials after ours and we work well together on issues and procedures. The people Region IIh Megan Record, Kristi Waiste, Diana who really benefit from our good relationship are the voters because they Sparacino. are going to see consistency in local and state elections." Region IV: Katerina Kuntz-Tadda, Jesse Wilson. And a big thank you for all their assistance to Lynn Bartlett, Carol Collins and Andy Kline of the It. governor's office! Another cadre of workers--boards that review voter eligibility and count absentee and questioned ballots--work for Pam prior to an election and continue on afterwards. :'My six-person absentee board begins a week before and works through the 10t" day following an election," she says. During the general election last month, the board reviewed the eligibility of more than 8,000 voters. Another six-person board reviewed the eligibility of more than 4,000 questioned voters. Pam Crowe came up through the ranks to become Region I supervisor, starting as a clerk in 1992. She then became administrative assistant, then acting supervisor, and in 1995 was appointed supervisor. She has a full-time staff of two and during an election year, two more. Her job requires a combination of technical and organizational skills, huge quantities of energy, and a capacity to absorb and truly relish the company of people. "More than 900 people help me do my job," she says. "! appreci- ate every one of them.~' Election News General Election wrap-up, continued... , ~/e were wrong. We needed to be on our toes everyplace because lots of things happened. Despite understandable jitters about operating the new voting system for the first time, the division conducted an exemplary August 25 primary election. Accu-Vote per- formed beautifully. The public and the candidates said they liked the new system. We then began, immediately, to gear up for the November general election. And that's when things started happening. There is a line on the ballot for write-in votes below printed candidate names. Usually there are very few write-in votes in a statewide election but this year there was consider- able interest in a write-in effort for governor. Sensitive to the operations requirements of Accu-Vote, by June we had regulations in place prohibiting the use of stickers on the ballot because they create jams in the tabulators. We therefore encouraged anyone considering a write-in effort to use old-fashioned pens, and were pleased when they agreed to do so. About 10 p.m., internet reports slowed down as the last of the Accu-Vote precincts reported in. Reports from hand-count precincts (178 total) continued to arrive several hours past midnight. (And a couple from the Bush didn't report for a day or Again, our state-of-the art optical scan ballot tabulation system had performed without a hitch. Did this mean that except for the review and subsequent count of absentee and questioned ballots and an audit of the entire election by the State Review Board, the 1998 general election was over?. Not yet. According to regulations, we are required to count write-in votes if those votes come in second place or higher in a particular election race. That happened in the governor's race this year. Governor Tony Knowles won reelection (with approximately 113,000 votes) but in second place was a lump-sum write-in total of more than 42,000 votes. With this issue behind us and the election right before us, we concentrated on making sure Accu-Vote was in top form and our election boards were ready to greet voters at ~he polls. Our ballot--longer at 8-1/2 by 14 inches than it had been in the primary--was going to slow down the voting process (not the Accu-Vote transmission process, however), so we got the word out: don't expect returns to come in as quickly as they did August 25. (Editor's Note: The average time it took each voter to vote the longer ballot turned out to be approximately eight minutes.) On Election Day in Anchorage and Juneau, Division of Elections staff organized the screens and projectors that would allow us to transmit results directly from the internet to the Election Central viewing public at the Egan Center and the Baranof Hotel. (Fairbanks did not have an Election Central gathering place.) Voting proceeded smoothly through the day across the state, with polls closing at 8 p.m. Eager and excited, people began to ask, "When will we know the first results?" We started with the precinct ballots that were voted and counted on election night. Forty people, many of them mem- bers of our election boards, counted with us at Centennial Hall in Juneau beginning Thursday of election week. For three days we separated write-ins into categories by major candidate names plus a miscellaneous grouping, and tallied these results. We then had to wait for a November 13 statutory deadline to pass before we could process the absentee and questioned ballots that contained write-in votes. These ballots are reviewed and counted at our regional offices, and once the November 13 deadline had passed, they were mailed to Juneau. it took another three days to separate and tally these write-ins by category. On November 20 we were able to release final figures to the public via the press. While this was going on, the State Review Board had begun its audit. In the regional offices, boards were counting absentee and questioned ballots. This was as it should be, but two worry spots remained: close races, too close to call, in Region II1: House Districts 35 and 36. They came in at approximately 8:30, about 25 minutes later than the first results had come in the evening of the primary. As brightly-colored names, numbers and pie charts flashed on the screens, Election Central crowds chorused oohs and ahs. At home, folks with internet access downloaded results as quickly as they were being downloaded at Election Centrals. Other folks at home )tuned in to radio and TV to get information the oid-fash- "ioned way. Following certification of the two races, they were recounted in Juneau using Accu-Vote computers. Results gave House District 35 to John Harris over Tom Van Brocklin by 11 votes, and House District 36 to Carl Morgan over Irene Nicholia by 6 votes. Now was the 1998 general election over? With the State Review Board finishing its work, director Stout certified the election, it was December 1, and the answer was yes. . .
