Dear Carol'
Thank you for the letter inviting the Kenai Peninsula Youth Court to make a
presentation to the Kenai City Council in support of a request for funds to cover some
of the travel costs to the National Youth/Teen Court Conference in Anchorage.
Since the Kenai Peninsula Youth Court wants to participate in the conference
as fully as possible, we expect several of our student members to attend. Registration,
food and lodging costs will be approximately $125.00 per student. In addition the
student must pay transportation. Because the youth court is unable to cover these
costs, it is seeking additional funding for this purpose. Accordingly, we will be asking
the Kenai City Council to help us with a grant of $500.00. ·
We understand that the council will be meeting on April 7, 1997. We would
appreciate it if the Kenai Peninsula Youth Court could be placed on the agenda for
that meeting.
Very tr~y yours~ ~

AIRPORT MANAGER'S REPORT
a. Budget -- Airport Manager Atha reported he will be meeting
w/th the City Manager next Tuesday to review the proposed airport
budget. He asked if the Commission was interested in reviewing the
budget in the future and offering recommendations or considerations.
The Commission agreed they would like to review the budget in the
future. Atha stated he would provide the Commission copies of the
budget and changes after Tuesday's meeting.
AIRPORT COMMISSION MEETING
MARCH 11, 1999
PAGE 1
b. Airline Support, Inc. -- Atha reported he had spoken with
Airline Support, Inc. Airline Support still intends to bring airline service
to the Kenai Peninsula and their target is to begin this summer. Airline
Support has experienced some difficulty in acquiring planes, thus the
delay in beginning service.
c. AIP Funding -- Atha reported he had been meeting with
the FAA and will be meeting with them again Friday to discuss federal
funding. He noted, Congress let airport funding lapse last year and gave
a six-month extension on current funding with the requirement any
excess funds be returned. He went on to explain how airports submit
their five-year plan and receive funding from fees the federal government
collects through airline ticket and aviation fuel taxes. He noted, the
Kenai Airport has been receiving about $700,000 per year from the
federal government based on the number of enplanements. Atha added,
it is now the end of the six-month extension and the federal government
is working on new legislation to be passed this fall at the earliest.
Another six-month extension had not yet been approved.
d. ARFF-- Atha reported the Fire Fighting Training Center
was built with discretionary money from the federal government which is
not part of the enplanement money. There were overruns on the
training center of roughly $500,000 and it has to be finished. The
airport is now short the money to fund the training center because of the
six-month funding extension. The FAA has indicated they can't assure
the airport there will be five-year plan legislation and have suggested the
City front the money to finish the training center. If the money becomes
available, they will refund the City in the future. Atha expressed his
concern regarding this action based on the current budget.situation the
City is facing.
e. Flight Service Station -- Atha reported, the Airport agreed
last year to fund a new HVAC unit at Flight Service Station {FSS}. Even
though the original unit met FAA specifications, it is not meeting the
needs of the staff or the FSS building. Bids were taken on a replacement
unit. The Airport had budgeted $70,000 and the lowest bid received was
$106,000. The FAA personnel in Anchorage indicated they anticipate
assisting with the shortfall.
f. Y2K -- Atha reported the airport has been working Y2K
issues and most everything has been identified and is on line.
g. Enplanements -- Atha reported the highest annual
enplanements in the past were 130,000; the Airport is currently at
106,000. He added, while it isn't a crisis, a seven percent annual
decrease results in approximately $50,000 less revenue coming to the
airport. He suggested advertising to remind the community of the local
Airport Commission Meeting
March 11, 1999
Page 2
airport and its services. Knackstedt stated he felt if the airport
advertises now, it would appear to be advertising for one airline.
Thibodeau stated he felt the past high annual use of the airport was in
direct correlation to past oil exploration. He felt finding ways to attract
businesses like the Alpine Project and tourism would increase airport
use. He also indicated the economy in the Lower 48 directly impacts
Kenai's tourism industry and now, because their economy is pretty
strong, it is resulting in an increase in tourism bookings this year so far.
Knackstedt asked if the airport money would be used to finish the
training facility. Atha answered affirmatively.
Thibodeau asked if the training center was usable now. Atha stated it
was and training sessions were being conducted. Thibodeau asked if the
additional money needed to finish the center would result in higher
revenues for the Center. Atha answered he did not think that was the
case. Thibodeau stated he thought the City should wait for the federal
money to come through and not take a chance on it not coming through.
Bielefeld stated, he thought the airport has done without the broom
until now and perhaps its purchase may have to be delayed another
year. He added, he understood and appreciated having a manicured
runway with no ice on it but didn't feel comfortable gambling on federal
money at this point.
COMMISSIONERS' COMMENTS / QUESTIONS
Commissioner Knackstedt asked Atha about the Aviation Conference
to be held May 9 and 10 in Anchorage at the Federal Express Terminal.
Atha stated Assistant Airport Manager Holland was contacting them. He
added, he is considering sharing a booth with the Fire Training Center to
reduce costs.
Commissioner Lorenzen asked from where the funding for the
Challcn§er Learn/n§ Center was coming. Measles answered some was
federal money and some from Science and Aerospace Foundation. Also,
the City has put up some startup funds. A tile-sellin§ project is now
underway to help further fund the Center.
Commissioner Thibodeau asked if there had been any more talk
regarding the future of the Kenai Airport and gathering of information to
support a cargo facility. Atha stated his understanding was the City is
not interested in pursuing it at this time. He also stated the airport is
not currently equipped to handle the needs of a cargo or freight
enterprise. Favretto stated the EDD is gathering information currently
and added, he thought the project got off on the wrong foot with bad
Airport Commission Meeting
March 11, 1999
Page 3
information being put in the press, resulting in negative public opinion.
Measles stated, the project had not stopped, but is on a much slower
track.
Commissioner Favr~tto announced the Alaska Railroad had let bids for
three 400' railroad barges to be built. He will be working with APC and
Natchiq to see the successful bid comes to the Peninsula and be done at
the Alpine Project facility. He added, he felt ARCO's investment in the
Peninsula should be supported and as well as APC's efforts to keep our
residents employed. He encouraged commission members to support
the project if the opportunity arises. He noted, currently 400 people are
employed at the Alpine Project. Most of them will be laid off when the
project is completed.
Commissioner Vaa Ze~ asked Atha if enplanement reports could
include previous months or even years to see a comparison. Atha
answered affn-matively and stated he would change the report.

Discussion
Goecke requested additional information from La Shot. Glick read
a letter received from Warren Polsky, BLP Inc. (hand out).
La Shot recommended those present be allowed to speak even
though Polsky was not present. He also requested the applicant's
request to continue the hearing at a later date be granted.
Bryson reminded the Commission the last meeting was now
public information and only new information could be brought
before the Commission during this meeting.
Public Comment
Natalie Kohler, 4350 Beaver Loop Rd., Kenai, Alaska. Kohler
stated she wanted the record to show how many people were here
from Beaver Loop and were a§ainst the Conditional Use Permit.
Glick asked all citizens present from Beaver Loop to come forward
and state their name and indicate if they were for or against.
Laura Sievert, 3329 Beaver Loop Rd., Kenai, Alaska. Stated
that she was a§ainst this and a little concerned the Commission
seemed almost ready to grant the permit at the last meetin§
without further water and soil testin§. She expressed her concern
the Commission was putfin§ the interests of the partnership
above the interests of the environmental quality of the City of
Kenai. She also expressed concern the area was currently zoned
residential and felt the interests of the property owners, their
property values, and quality of life were not bein§ adequately
considered.
Nolan T. Compton, 2785 Beaver Loop Rd., Kenai, Alaska.
Stated he hadn't seen the public record of the Februa~ 24, 1999
meeting because he had been out of state. He added, he felt a lot
of people have been doing all kinds of things on that property for a
long time and their attitude is they can just go ahead and do it
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting
March 10, 1999
Page 2

and get a zoning permit or a conditional use permit later.
Compton added, he would like to see the Commission take that
into consideration and make people confom to rules and
regulations within the City. He also requested the Commission to
put their foot down and come to a decision and make people apply
for a permit before they do things instead of letting them say, "I've
been there, now I want a permit."
Discussion
Bryson asked if the application needed to be re-advertised as a
public hearing separate from the agenda if the public hearing
were to be continued. Glick stated he thought the Commission
had had two nights of public hearing and that another public
hearing was not required, but at the same time another public
hearing would probably have to be held to hear the applicant's
opinion.
Bryson suggested the Commissioners could address questions to
the applicant through the Chairman so that answers could be
received from the applicant prior to the next meeting, thus saving
money required to announce another public hearing.
La Shot stated if the hearing was continued it would be advertised
with the regular agenda and another separate mailing would not
occur.
BRYSON MOVED TO CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND
ACTION ON THIS PERMIT TO THE MEETING ON APRIL 28,

Discussion/Schedule Public Hearing - Building Setbacks -
Administrative Exemptions
Glick noted this had been discussed, resulting in an ordinance
being drafted. Glick asked Bannock if he had any comments.
Bannock stated the ordinance came from Council action at its last
meeting. An ordinance similar to this had been before the
Council and the Commission in the past. Bannock stated he
asked the ordinance come before the Commission because they
will actually be using the ordinance. He asked for
comments/suggestions to take back to the Council before action
is taken.
Glick stated past discussions indicated reluctance to put an
actual figure in the ordinance. Bryson stated he was concerned
the measurement of inches was being used instead of feet or
fractions of feet, as is typically required in plat terminology by the
Borough. On the substance of the ordinance, Bryson stated he
was never supportive of modifying the side setbacks; however,
that is what the ordinance would do and would potentially allow a
person to target that modification if his intent is to gain an extra
foot. His intent was to eliminate the pesky problem of
insignificant deviations. Bryson added, he felt Administration's
original proposal did that but allowing a floating one-foot
Planning & Zoning Commission
March 24, 1999
Page 2
encroachment wouldn't change anything. He stated he is in favor
of what Administration had originally proposed and was not in
favor of a blanket one-foot deviation.
Building Official Springer commented it would be a problem if
people were intending to take that foot. He added, he generally
felt people who had encroachments had accidents during the
course of construction and usually the proposed building got
moved slightly. He felt Administration was trying to solve the
accidental movement problems during construction of the
building. Granted, they could possibly use that to try to take a
foot but didn't see that as being the intent.
Bryson stated he had no reason to believe the intent was always
to conform to the setbacks. Problems could arise from casual
measurement or lot comers measured inaccurately. That could
happen as easily with the ordinance in effect as not. The
Commission taking the time to address each of these issues was
not the problem, but the steps an owner has to go through to
clear up a 1/10th foot encroachment is cumbersome and time
consuming. For that reason, he thought a percentage approach
addressed the situation more effectively.
Nord stated she was uncomfortable with the 12" leeway. With a 1'
encroachment on a 5' setback, it would be a 20% encroachment.
She stated she preferred the 10% recommendation. Perhaps a
solution was to make a different percentage for each type of
setback.
Bannock asked Springer what would be the worst case scenarios
for minimum setbacks. Springer answered, R/S zones have a 5'
side setback for a single story structure, 10' for a daylight
basement, and 15' for a two story structure. In R/R, it is 15' side
setbacks on all structure; the front setback is 25' and rear is 20'.
Bannock suggested the ordinance be changed to read "one foot,
not to exceed 10%" or "10%, not to exceed one foot" because this
was a very valid concern. Glick clarified this was for comments
only from the Commission. Bannock answered affn-matively and
asked for any further suggestions or comments.
Bryson stated, in disregarding relative distance on setbacks, the
side setbacks affect neighbors and the front and rear don't usually
significantly affect neighbors. He felt the side setbacks were more
important to address.
Kebschull noted if the Commission wanted to schedule a public
hearing, she needed to know. The ordinances, as they stand,
Planning & Zoning Commission
March 24, 1999

®
would go to Council. She added, she understood Council wanted
to hold public comment and then modify the ordinances as
recommended after the April 7t~ meeting. She added, the
resolution has to be published, along with changes to the
ordinances, ten days before Council's meeting. She asked for
direction on how the Commission wished to proceed.
Goecke stated he is in favor of the percentage versus inches
wording as suggested by Bannock. Erwin noted his agreement
with the percentage versus inches wording and thought it a
reasonable suggestion. Glick asked Erwin if he felt a public
hearing should be held at the Commission level. Erwin stated he
felt a public hearing could be held, giving the public two chances
to express their concerns.
Goecke disagreed and stated he didn't believe a public hearing
was necessary as a public hearing would be held at the Council
level. The Commission should pass their comments on to
Council.
Bryson stated he suspected an ordinance like this probably would
not draw many people to a public hearing at the Commission level
and thought it would be better served at a Council meeting. He
asked Administration if, in a 5' setback situation, the entire 1'
were taken off that side creating a 4' setback plus the eave, does it
affect how the building code is applied to the construction of the
building? Springer answered, it would by allowing only a 1' eave
because up to a 3' eave can be built.
Nord stated she thought public comment was not necessary and
felt Council would hear and consider Commission's
recommendations. She added, she was in favor of some sort of
ordinance to eliminate public hearings for 1" encroachments.
Newbry stated he didn't feel a public hearing at the Commission
level was necessary. He added, he felt Council would duly note
the Commission's comments, as they have in the past.

REPORTS
City Council
Counci!m_an Bannock reviewed agenda of the March 10, 1999
Council meeting, noting the following:
Planning & Zoning Commission
March 24, 1999
Page 4
~Item C-1, Ordinance No. 1813~99 was adopted with no changes.
~Item C-2, Ordinance No. 1814~99 - Appropriating $4,000 for
Improvements at Cunningham Park was in conjunction with Item
C-4, Resolution No. 99-13 - Approving Cunningham Park Habitat
Restoration and Site Improvements for $103,497.50. Both were
passed. He added, the Kenai River Sport Fishing Association
upped their donation to $135,000 so more improvements will be
completed than originally anticipated.
~Item C~3, Resolution No. 99~ 12 - Transferring $1,750 from
Airport Land Special Revenue Fund for Increased Communication
Costs was approved.
~Item C-5, Resolution No. 99-14- Supporting S. 25 was passed.
Bannock explained, S. 26 regarded how federal monies are
divided. If the Act becomes law, it would falter more water and
conservation funds into local governments. The money is split
50/50 between the state and federal government, then the State
of Alaska's 50% is divided among local governments. This is a
focused plan to assure money got to where it is really needed.
~Item H-C, Memorandum of Agreement- Bannock explained, this
was the beginning of a formalized agreement between Challenger
Learning Center of Alaska and the City of Kenai. The Agreement
was approved.
~Item H-4, Assignment of Lease/Kenai Municipal Airport
Restaurant was approved.
-Item H-5, Discussion- Kenai Coastal Trail Reconnaissance
Study-- Council reviewed the study and its suggestions regarding
management to slow down bluff erosion. Bannock explained, the
study mainly involves a trail type system being placed along the
bottom of the bluff that would go from the old Kenai Packer Plant
up to approximately the Sewer Treatment Plant. Bannock added,
it was a concept that showed a trail-type toe at the bottom of the
bluff with three different access points from the top of the bluff.
The intent is to provide access to the trail, thus reducing foot
traffic abuse of the bluff. He added, the study also discussed
using a built-up riprap as the surface to build a trail on and act
as an anchor.
Goecke asked for the cost estimate. Bannock answered he
believed it was $1 million and felt that number was very
optimistic. Goecke expressed his strong feelings that if the 811
million number was even close, then someone in the City should
Planning & Zoning Commission

be
be taken to task for not having addressed this concern sooner.
Bryson noted the number he saw in the paper was $5 mi!!~on.
Borough Planning
Bryson reported there was a plat meeting March 22 before the
regular Borough Planning meeting. There were five plat
considerations presented at the Plat Committee and all were
approved. Bryson noted the following information:
.~Consent Agenda was approved.
-~E-1, Vacation of a 33' roadway on Marysville Too Subdivision
was postponed further at the request of the Petitioner. Additional
testimony was taken.
[SF-1, Vacation of a 33' section in Ness Subdivision failed.
5F-2, Vacation of a 66' section in C & H Estates was approved.
DF-3, Ordinance 99-17 - Authorizing acquisition of land in
Anchor Point was postponed upon request of Administration.
SH-1, Correcting plat note was approved- Kasilof River, White
Water Way and Pollard Street.
,3H-2, Request to remove a note on plat in Questa Woods Estates
No. 3. Bryson noted, the staff recommended against removing the
note. The Commission addressed cOncerns the note was written
negatively and preference of the Commission was to modify the
note to read more positively.
~H-3, Time Extension Request- Anderson Development
Consultants was approved.
Administration
Kebschull reported Administration was continuing to work on the
gravel pit reports. The City Manager was planning to schedule a
meeting with the pit operators in mid to late April. The meeting
would probably be held before the Planning and Zoning
Commission, but she had not been formally informed yet.
Kebschull added, the site work for the Challenger Learning Center
and Multi-Purpose Facihty had been put out to bid. The bid
opening was scheduled for April 14. She noted, as soon as
Council approves a bid, work would begin on that site.
Kebschull also reported several other smaller projects would be
starting soon and it looked like it would be a busier building
season than anticipated.
Building Official Springer explained the building code changes
adopted by council. He noted, a plot plan would still be required
by the builder or homeowner but it would not have to be drawn by
Planning & Zoning Commission

a land surveyor. Upon initial inspection for footings, if the
Building Inspector cannot determine at that time they are meeting
the setback requirements of the Planning and Zoning Code, then
they will be required to have a land surveyor plot where the
building is going to be located. He noted, this should cut down
the cost to a potential building by about $200 on average. In
addition, Springer explained, a portion of the fee for a building
permit had been lowered. Currently, a plan review fee is charged
for residential structures based on the percentage of the building
permit. With adoption of the new Code, it will drop from 65% of
the permit fee to 20%. This will result in approximately $100
savings on a $100,000 house.
Bryson asked if an as-built after the fact is still necessary to
complete the building process in both residential and commercial
endeavors. Springer answered affm~atively.
Bryson noted the pipe types were being deleted for water lines
and asked if ABS could be used for sewer systems. Springer
answered it could be and is just for building water services from
the street to the building. Bryson asked if the State has approved
the use of ABS. Springer stated he didn't know if the State had
approved its use, but it is allowed in the Unifom Plumbing Code.

Bookey asked Building Official Springer what the difference was in KMC 4.05.031,
Plan Review Fees (text stated "...plan review fees shall be 65% of the building permit
fee...") from the existing code. Springer explained the existing code is 65% of the
permit fee. He added, this addition changes the residential plan review fee to 20%.
Bookey asked if the fee is being set by the city or is it included in the actual building
code. Springer answered, the 65% was in the actual building code, the 20% was not.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
MARCH 17, 1999
PAGE 3
Bookey noted, the city would be reducing the permit cost from 65% to 20% and
giving the general public a 40% decrease in the building permit fee. Springer
concurred.
Swamer asked what the percentage of the building fee is in Soldotna. Springer
answered, Soldotna did not have a plan review fee, however their permit fee is much
higher than Kenai's. Swarner asked what the reason was for reducing the plan
review fee. Springer answered, Kenai's plan review is a cursory review and the public
is not getting a great deal of service for the previous fee. Swarner asked if there is a
fee for the building official to visit a house being built, making sure the house is
being built on the proper site. Springer answered, there is no fee for that service.
Moore asked ff there is no fee for that service, does the building official rely on the
plot plan/surveyors' information or does he make the measurements. Springer
answered, during his initial inspection, he takes appropriate measurements to insure
the building is not encroaching. He added, there is no city fee for the plot plan
review. Springer noted, fees for a $100,000-valued house (approximately 1200 sq.
ft.) in Kenai for a plan review and permit fee is approximately $360 and in Soldotna,
the permit fee is $1,018. He added, Soldoma does not charge a plan review fee. In
Palmer (who does charge a plan review fee), the fees for the same valued house would
cost $1,639.
Springer continued, if the city reduces the plan review fee, the permit would drop
approximately $100 to $262. Swarner asked if the services would decrease with the
decrease in the fee. Springer answered, no. Swarner asked if the city's costs would
remain the same, but would charge less. Springer answered yes. Swarner stated
she was concerned with portions of the ordinance because of the history of
encroachments and setbacks in the last recession time when houses were found to
be situated improperly on lots. She added, she wanted to make sure the house is
really situated properly on the as-built. She asked if the ordinance would do that.
Springer answered, yes, he believed so. He added, during the initial footing
inspection he measures for the required setbacks to be sure they are maintained.
Springer added, he believed the ordinance would allow for better code enforcement by
the city for Setbacks and encroachments.
Swamer asked if anything could be done to make a tighter ordinance or an
additional ordinance requiring stake-to-stake building comers required and done by
the surveyor. Springer answered, doing that would place an additional burden and
cost on the builder or homeowner. Swarner noted, the permit costs to the
builder/owner would be less, however. Springer stated if Swarner was asking to
make the ordinance more restrictive, having the surveyor stake the comers would do
that.
Moore stated, from personal experience, he thought the ordinance would reduce the
cost to the taxpayers and shift it to the private sector because of the requirements in
the code for plot plans, inspections and as-butts after construction is completed. He
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
MARCH 17, 1999
PAGE 4
added, if mechanisms were in place in the code to insure what is required and what
the city won't have to do, the city would rely more on third-party surveyors to do the
work. Springer noted, at this time the original intent of the ordinance was to require
the land surveyor to provide a plot plan to the builder/owner and then they would
submit it to the city for review. With the change, the work wouldn't have to be done
by a land surveyor.
Springer explained, now the builder/owner draws a plot plan of where he wants to
place the house and gives that to the land surveyor who enters the information into
his computer. The surveyor then prints it, stamps it, and gives it to the builder who
submits it to the city and gets a building permit. He added, the land surveyor does
not leave his office to locate the house on the property. A plot plan is being required
that doesn't do anything because when the as-built survey comes back, the house is
never located where it was shown on the plot plan. Springer added, the builder
/owner would still be required to submit a plot plan, but it could be drawn by the
builder/owner. When Springer does the initial inspection and cannot determine they
are within the setback requirement, the builder would then be required to have a
surveyor locate the house on the property.
Frazer asked if Springer knows how many violations he's finding with
encroachments, etc. when he does the initial inspections. Springer answered, he
reviewed encroachment permits for the past five years and he noted there were five
new buildings constructed that had encroachments. Frazer asked if they were
owner/builder problems or building contractor problems. Springer answered, he
thought it was some of each.
Williams explained the city had been struggling with these problems for a long time
and it was brought to attention in the late 80's/early 90's when there was a rush on
foreclosures and it was found there were many encroachment problems being found.
Williams added, the ordinance would act as a safeguard so that at the initial
inspection, if the site plan is not accurate, etc., administrative authority would
require the permit holder to provide a site plan stamped by a registered land
surveyor. He added, the responsibility is placed on the building inspector. Williams
added, he liked the changes being made with this ordinance.
Williams referred to changes being made to KMC 4.25.040, plumbing material
standards and noted in paragraph (c), PVC piping would not be allowed to be used
for outside water service lines. Springer stated it was being added to the list of
materials not to be used outside because if it freezes, it cannot be thawed.

Bill Nelson -- Wm. J. Nelson & Associates. Nelson reported the plan was redesigned
after receiving comments from council and permitting agencies. He noted, the last
time council and he discussed the project, they discussed different options for
bidding the project. It was decided to break the project into segments and see how
the bids would break the costs out. Nelson noted, the low bid came within four to
five percent of his engineer's estimate.
Williams noted the Kenai River Sportfishing organization increased their donation by
$41,000 (a copy of their letter was attached to the substitute ordinance, distributed'
at the beginning of the meeting).

MOTION:

Bill Nelson -- Wm. J. Nelson & Associates. Nelson explained, the basic bid for the
main part of the project included re-establishment of vegetation along the river bank,
construction of a handicap-accessible trail from the river bank to the parking area,
trail, landscaping, grading, seeding and building a portion of elevated walkway to the
river front.
He continued, Additive Alternate No. 1 included improvements to the parking area
{expanding, grading, and landscaping). Additive Alternate No. 2 included additional
bank improvements downstream. Additive Alternate No. 3 provided for additional
walkway at the top of the bank and a second stairs to the walkway. Additive
Alternate No. 4 would make the grating on the walkways meet ADA requirements
{spacing of bars on the grating). Additive Alternate No. 5 would provide for an
interpretative sign, crediting the city and the Kenai River Sportfishing organization.
Nelson noted, the low bid for the sign was $2,500 and the organization didn't want to
spend that much on the sign. Nelson reported, Kenai River Sportfishing chose to
fund the basic bid and Additive Alternates 3 and 4.
Nelson noted there were only two bids received, although approximately ten bidders
attended the pre-bid conference and took out bid packages. He noted, the lack of
bids may have been due to the fact habitat restoration is somewhat specialized.
Nelson noted there was a significant difference between the two bids. He added, he
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
MARCH 17, 1999
PAGE 7
worked with Peninsula Construction on a Soldoma project similar to this project and
was confident Peninsula Construction could do the job for what they bid and didn't
think they omitted anything in the bid.
Moore stated he had a relative revolved with Peninsula Construction, however, Moore
was not financially involved with Peninsula Construction. Moore asked if the city's
administrative costs would increase due to the increase in the project budget. Public
Works Director Komelis answered, he did not anticipate more cost for administration
of the project. Nelson noted, he had not included the work he had done on the
improvements to the parking area in his work proposal costs. Komelis noted, Nelson
did do the design work and used all the funding in the budget for that work. He
added, one more inspection was needed, however Nelson wrote a letter stating he
would do the inspection without charge.
Williams thanked Nelson for his kindness. Williams asked council if they were
interested in spending additional funds for the park sign as Martha Cunningham
had wanted. Bookey suggested if council wanted to consider funding for the sign, he
would like the discussion to take place during their review of the Parks & Recreation
Department budget.
VOTE:
There were no objections. SO ORDERED.
Resolution No. 99-14-- Supporting S. 25, The Conservation and
Reinvestment Act of 1999.
MOTION:
Councilman Bookey MOVED for approval of Resolution No. 99-14 and Councilman
Moore SECONDED the motion.
There were no public comments. Williams explained, the bill delineated the monies
that would be split between the federal government, state governments and local
governments for a variety of projects that may be associated with impacts of coastal
communities. He added, he had discussed the matter with both Congressman Young
and Senator Murkowski's office staff who were extremely interested in having the
reinvestment act passed.
Williams noted there is approximately $4.6 billion revolved, of which 50 % would be
put into conservation programs and $131 million would come to the State of Alaska.
Of that, 60% of those funds would go directly to communities based on the programs
and projects those communities envisioned. Williams noted, the city would be deeply
interested in obtaining some of the money for the bluff erosion control project.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
MARCH 17, 1999

Williams reported, the Alaska delegation in Washington co-authored the bill and was
supporting it. Bookey asked if the major reason the council was offering the
resolution in support of the bill was because the delegation was supporting the it.
Williams answered yes.
VOTE:
There were no objections. SO ORDERED.

Discussion -- Kenai Coastal Trail Reconnaissance Study (Kenai Bluff
Erosion Study) -- Nottingham, Peratrovich & Drage, Inc.
Williams referred to a memorandum included in the packet from City Manager Ross,
as well as information received from Nottingham, Peratrovich & Drage (NPD).
Will Jahrig -- Jahrig (Harbor Commission Chair) explained, the project would be
exciting for the Harbor Commission as well as the City of Kenai. He noted, a lot of
the history of the city was being lost due to the bluff erosion. He added, the project
would include property from the old Daubenspeck property with rock riprap or sheet
piling along the water and would proceed along the toe of the bluff to the beach. He
noted, there would be 200' pedestrian drawbridge to go across the creek in order to
access the beach frontage in front of the Old Town area. The project would continue
to the Sewer Treatment Plant.
Jahrig noted, there was growing interest for recreational uses of the area, i.e.
walldng, cross-country skiing, jogging, bike paths, etc. Improvements to the bluff
could make the area more user and tourist-friendly. Jahrig added, NPD was very
experienced with projects such as this and had suggestions from where to acquire
funding for the project.
Jahrig noted, NPD suggested the project could be done for approximately $5 million.
He noted, he believed this amount would only cover one-half to one-third of the
actual costs of the project. He added, doing the project would improve habitat for
fish rearing in the fiver, increase recreational use of the area, as well as save the
historical area of the city. Jahrig added, the Kenai Visitors Center was also enthused
about the project. He encouraged council to consider going forward with the project.
A general discussion followed regarding the affects of the dipnet fishery and the bluff.
Williams noted the study referred to a lesser grade on the slope of the bluff, which
could entice people to walk up and down the bluff to access the beach. Jahrig noted,
barricading would be needed to keep pedestrians off the face of the bluff. He added,
the Commission suggested three different access areas to the bluff and wanted to
make sure enough break water at the gabion area would be available to protect the
existing grassland area.
Discussion followed regarding possible funding sources. Williams suggested the
possibility of funding from the highway transportation bill. Jahrig stated he believed
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
MARCH 17, 1999
PAGE 13
there would be multiple areas from where funding might be acquired.
engineering for this project could be $1 million.
Kornelis noted
Moore asked what the projected costs were to acquire the rights-of-way. Jahrig
answered, that information was not included in the study. He added, a large
percentage of the properties had no buildings on them.
Williams asked if council had directives for administration. Bookey referred to the
memorandum included in the packet from City Manager Ross whereto it stated
Komelis would be meeting with representatives from NPD. Bookey suggested no
action be taken until Komelis attends the meeting and could report back to council.

FAA Mobile Home-Type Building~Kenai Little League's Request
Kenai Little League has made a request through Parks & Recreation that the City obtain the
mobile home-type building being surplused at the old FAA grounds. It would be their proposal
that the City then relocate this facility to the Little League field for their uses, including that of
public restrooms for that program.
We had previously looked at this building for City use when FAA advised they would transfer it
to us in lieu of removing it at their expense as they clean up the property. This was discussed
with Council, and it was determined to decline the offer.
When the Little League request was made, we revisited this issue. Cost estimates were obtained
on removal of the building and placement of it on a foundation at the Little League park (copy
attached). In addition, the Building Department was again asked to assess the structure for the
proposed use. (A copy of the deficiencies noted is also attached.) Of primary concern to us is
the sagging roof. This is a mobile home-type structure in which once the roof is compromised it
can become a major repair and continuing maintenance item.
Also of concern from a maintenance perspective is the proposed use of the facility. The
restrooms in the building are residential in nature. These are not appropriate for high use in a
Little League and recreational environment.
Based on the condition of the structure and the expected high maintenance cost associated with
keeping it operational, it is our recommendation that the position previously taken by Council is
the appropriate one. That being that the City is not interested in the structure and FAA should
remove it as part of the cleanup of the property.

FAA Storage Unit
Attached are some preliminary cost estimates from Robert Springer for moving the FAA
storage unit for use at the Little League Fields. Additional expenses not noted are costs
associated with piecing the unit together on site and demolition of the existing facility
located at the ballfields.
Mr. Springer has confirmed to me that the City was once looking at acquiring this unit for
additional storage needs, and furthermore, stated that there was a concern about the roof
leaking and snowload. Although the structure does not currently have an axle, Mr.
Springer feels that the unit was probably originally manufactured as such. If the unit was
placed on a concrete foundation, it appears that the structure would be within code
requirements. However, long-term maintenance of this unit was of some concern,
particularly vandalism, the heating unit, and condition of the roof.

Costs to move FAA Building
The costs to move the mobile home type building at the FAA
yard is approximately the following'
-$4000 to move the building (est. from Raven Const.)
-$1000 for site excavation
-$5000 to build a permanent foundation
-$4000 to install utilities (gas, electric, phone, water and
sewer)
These are just estimates and could change significantly.

FAA Building deficiencies
The mobile home type building at the FAA yard has some
deficiencies, such as a sagging roof noted to be
approximately six inches. This would need to be re-
supported before another winter and would need to have its
· roof shoveled when a large snow year occurs. It has been
observed some minor roof leaks have occurred. It was also
discovered that it had frozen up one winter and some
extensive repairs had been done.
It is my opinion this structure would not be suitable for use
as a public type building. It is designed more for residential
use and could not take the abuse a public building gets.
Given the type of building this is the maintenance of this
building would be substantial.

Dear Mr. Pignalbery:
From 1995-1998, The Continuum Corporation pursued development of an assisted living
center in Kenai. It was unfortunate that they were not able to follow through on their
plans as the project had a great deal of community interest and the support of the Council.
The parcel of land they had selected to site the facility on is in the ownership of the City
of Kenai and is available on long-term lease or by a competitive bid sale. If leased first,
the lessee can purchase the property after it has been developed. It is located on Senior
Court, which is in close proximity to the Kenai Senior Citizen Center and the Congregate
Housing facility. It is an ideal location near the downtown area and necessary supportive
services.
Should the group you represent be interested in pursuing this concept, we encourage you
to submit a lease application for this parcel. For further information on how to proceed
please contact Ms. Kim Howard at (907) 283-7530.
Sincerely,
CITY OF KENAI

Enclosed please find a copy of the Kcnaitzc Indian Tribe. iRA amended Resolution No.

99-06 entitled "A Tribal Resolution {n Support of a I.awsuit bythe Commercial
Fishermen in Cook Inlet Against tl~e State of Alaska".
Members of thc Kcnaitzc Indima Tribe and other Alaska Native residents of the Kcnai
Peninsula have depended upon the commercial fishing industry in Cook Inlet for their
livlihood for generations, and are being greatly impacted by thc recent decisions of the
State Board of Fisheries.
The State Board of Fisheries has the power to shut down the cormnereial fishing in Cook
Inlet completely, in order to allow a recreational 'fishery on the Kenai Peninsula. The
Kenai~e Indian Tribe's Educational Fishery may also be in danger of closure due to the
decisions of' the State Board of Fisheries.
The Kenaitze Indian Tribe, IRA is also grcatly concerned that an increase in an 'already
overwelming recreational fishery on the Kenai Peninsula, will impact our rivers and
habitat to the point of total obliteration of our marine life here on the Peninsula.
The Kenaitze Indian Tribe, IRA Executive Committee/Tribal Council is asking for your
support in this lawsuit, in order to compensate Commercial Fishermen in Cook laflet for
their loss of income and Iivlihood which has occurred as a result of the State Board Of
Fisheries decisions at their, meetings in Februaxy and March, 1999.

WHEREAS, the Kenaitze Indian Tribe, IRA, a federally recognized Tribe, organized in
August, 1971, pursuant to the Indian Reorganization Act (I.R.A.) of 1934, as amended for
Alaska in 1936 and is responsible (in accordance with thc preamble to the Tribal
Constitution) for thc social and economic welfare of its 1006 Tribal Mcrnbers and for the
welfare of the total 2,767 Alaska Native rcsidems of Central and Upper Southern Kcnai
Peninsula of South-Central Alaska; and
WHEREAS, members of the Kenaitze Indian Tribe, IRA and other Alaska Native
residents residing on the Kenai Peninsula have depended upon the commercial fishing
industry in Cook Inlet for their livelihood for generations; and
WHEREAS, the Kenaitze Indian Tribe, IRA is very alarmed that the State Board of
Fisheries has recendy added a third day each season when cormucrcial drift boats are ·
banned from fishing much of the Central District of Cook Inlet, and is a loss which will
constitute approximately 20% of the income earned from commercial fishing; and
WHEREAS the Kenaitze Indian Tribe, IRA is also very alarmed that in order to improve
recreationa/fishing, the State Board of Fisheries has moved to end continuous setnet
openings at the peak of the sockeye nm and has mandated'weekly 24-hour semet closures
north of the Blanchard I,ine, midway between the Kenai and KasilofRivers, depending
on projected king and sockeye rum. The new plan of tl~e State Board of Fisheries states
that late Kenai Sockeyes should be managed primarily for commercial uses, subject to a
requirement to minimize the commercial harvest of Northern District and Kenai River
Cohos and late Kenai Kings in order to provide a reasonable oppommity for recreational
fishers; and
WHEREAS, the State Board of Fisheries has changed thc commercial fishing periods
from Mondays and Fridays to Mondays and Thursdays, to further accommodate fl~e
recreational fisheries on the mml Kenai Peninsula by giving them three day weekends to
sport fish; and
WHEREAS, the Kenaitge Indian Tribe, IRA is very concerned that the State Board of
Fisheries, appointed by the Governor of the State of Alaska, has been given the authority
to make decisions that will have major impacts on the Cook Inlet commurfities, including

the author/ty to shut down commercial fishing, and thc Tribe realizes that this power and

WHEREAS, the Kenaitze Indian Tribe, IRA believes that the recreational fishery existing
today in the Kenai River, Russian River, and Kasilof River threatens to completely
destroy the habitat and spawning grounds of the Cook/nlet's renewable resources, and if
not curtailed immediately will destroy the rivers, resulting in the death and obliteration of
the marine life which depend upon them for survival; and
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Executive Committee/Tribal Council of
the Kenaitze Indian Tribe,/RA that the Kenaitze Indian Tribe, at a Special Council
Meeting held on March 16, 1999, and in a vote of unanimous consent, fully supports and
endorses a lawsuit against the State of Alaska by the Law Office of Robinson and

Greetings from Juneau! The United Fishermen of Alaska has spent the past 25 years
promoting Alaska's seafood industry and protecting its access to the fishery resource.
Recent years have brought greater risk to all seafood industry sectors than ever before.
This atmosphere makes it imperative that commercial fishing interests band together and
work to secure a bright future for Alaska's communities. To that end, we invite you to
become a contributing member of UFA and help us meet the challenges ahead.
UFA has been successful at achieving unity in an industry that is characterized by a large,
diverse group of independent small businesses. UFA has a long history of aligning
industry to advance a common agenda. Our membership includes 22 fishing
organizations that provide financial support and countless hours of work in Juneau,
Washington, D.C., the Alaska Board offish and elsewhere. UFA maintains an office in
Juneau and hires a lobbyist for the legislative session. The board hopes to expand its
presence in the Anchorage area and enhance UFA's public relations program, to ensure
Alaskan's are better informed about the large impact the seafood industry makes on this
state.
The Board of Fisheries is embarking on projects that will have broad ramifications for the
entire industry statewide. The subsistence dilemma continues to loom large and the
ADF&G budget must be maintained. UFA has been at the forefront on these issues and
more. It is important to remain vigilant, which will require substantial funding and
member support.
To achieve the collective goals of the seafood industry, we must pool our resources and
work together toward common goals. The board of UFA hopes you will consider joining
at the $2000 contributing member level and help to promote our mutual interests.

City Manager Report-4/T/99 Council Meeting
Following is a summary of correspondence items and memoranda included in the City Manager's
report for your information and review.
Item I-2a
March 26, 1999 letter from Mayor Navarre's office regarding current status of public health
clinic reappropriation. Mayor Navarre is working with Representative Davis on this issue. This
was discussed with Representative Smalley who concurs with this approach and foresees no
problems. He will advise if any problems are encountered.
Item I-2b.
March 8, 1999 letter from Mayor Navarre announcing the decision not to relocate the OEM to
the ARFF facility. Chief Elson has been assigned the task of evaluating both private and public
tenancy possibilities that would be compatible with the use of the facility and that would not be
competitive with private enterprise for existing tenants. This will include consideration of
potential uses by the City. He will be working with other departments in addressing this issue.
Item I-2c
March 30, 1999 letter to Fran Reinhardt of ESI concerning the apportioning of ARFF utility
costs to the City and the proposed apparatus/storage facility. We are negotiating with ESI on the
square footage in the ARFF facility, both offices on the upper level as well as apportionment of
common areas, for which the City should pay its share of utility costs. This involves
examination of utility use history at the facility and development of a formula that recognizes the
· Vt
C~t, s space should not be charged for utilities related to ARFF or ESI training programs.
ESI is also asked to respond to questions concerning their position on financial commitments to
the apparatus/storage facility. These are questions related to capital construction costs, possible
leasing, and responsibility for operating costs of the facility.

As many of you know, the Mayor has requested the Govemor Knowles and the Alaska Legislature to
reappropriate the $1.7 million state funding for the Kenai Health Center directly to the borough.
The Department of Health and Social Services supports the dmnge and Representative Gary Davis is
processing the request. Deb Davidson, from the reppresentative's office, recently informed me that
governor did not create a reappropriation bill this year. The process, instead, begins with the
legislature this time. Rep. Davis has initiated the legislative request for the reappropriation. He and

his staff are committed to seeing the process through. It is even more likely now that the outcome
will be decided during the dosing hours of the legislature. Mayor Navarre plans to be in luneau for
the dosing days of the legislature working with Representative Davis and~ others on this legislation
and other issues important to the Kenai Peninsula Borough. Please be assured that the Mayor, his
staff and Representative Davis and his staff are doing all possible to semre this sorely needed funding
the for Kenai Health Center. Thank you for your patience and help as we process through the steps.
Please do not hesitate to contact our office with qu~tions, or for a copy of the briefing paper, a
document most of you have previously received.

Dear Mr. Ross:
The purpose of this letter is to inform you of my decision to not move the Kenai Peninsula Borough
Office of Emergency Management (KPB-OEM) to the PRISM facility in Kenai. After careful deliberation
and consultation with the KPB-OEM staff and others, it has been determined that the proposed move is
neither fiscally prudent nor beneficial for the everyday operations of the KPB-OEM. Also, it does not
alleviate the primary problem of space needs in the Borough building.
The decision for KPB-OEM to remain in the Borough building resulted from three key factors'
· The cost of linking communications between OEM, Alaska State Troopers (Primary E 911 dispatch)
and Soldoma Police Department (Alternate E 911 dispatch) if OEM operations are moved to Kenai is
prohibitive as both a one-time cost and recurring annual costs.
· During events (emergencies) KPB-OEM is able to draw in principal Borough employees, such as the
Mayor, General Services Director, Finance Director, Borough Attorney, GIS, MIS, clerical, and
members of the KPB Incident Management Team quickly and efficiently with minimal disruption to
their regular job.
The layout of the PRISM building (although excellent for an Emergency Operations Center) would
require adjustment for daily office procedures.
I admire the layout of the PRISM EOC and believe it will be of extreme value during a major catastrophic
event, but the difficulties and expense of the day-to-day workings of the KPB-OEM and the Enhanced
911 system do not allow for a move of the KPB-OEM to occur.
Sincerely,
Mike Navarre

City of Kenai Utilities at ARFF
Proposed Apparatus / Storage Facility.
Dear Fran:
Mr. Semmens has been working with your staff to reach an equitable agreement on the City's
share of utilities at the ARFF. I understand that they are working on office space and common
area allocation issues. It is also my understanding that a formula will be developed that
recognizes that the City's space in the facility is office space, and utility costs assessed will be on
that basis. I look forward to talking with you via teleconference once these issues are better
defined. Once we have a proposed agreement, it will be submitted to the City Council for
approval. They will be advised that it will be retroactive to October 1. 1998.
We are requesting additional information on the apparatus/storage building being proposed for
the PRISM training center. Attached is the information available to date. Mayor Williams
presented this information to the City Council and it has been forwarded to the Alaska
Congressional delegation.
Since this facility is not essential to the ARFF program, it is not eligible for FAA or local airport
funds. The general fund of the City would be responsible for any capital costs above
congressional appropriation, unless ESI agreed to participate in the project. The same would be
tree for ongoing maintenance and utility costs based on City ownership of the facility.
The project is contingent on congressional appropriation. Should this occur, the City Council
will need additional information to assist them in their decision on whether to accept the award.
To assist the Administration in its planning, and the Council in their decision making, we would
appreciate your responses to the following questions.
Mr. Reinhardt
March 30. 1999
Page 2 of 2
ge
If the requested funds are received but project costs ultimately exceed the appropriation,
will ESI participate in the capital costs of the project? How would you envision this
participation?
Does ESI propose to lease the facility from the City of Kenai? How long a lease would
you propose?
The City has no plans for use of any part of this facility. The PRISM proposal and floor
plans provided show that it's a facility in support of the training center. Will ESI be
responsible for all operating, routine maintenance, and utility costs incurred in the
operation of the facility?
If you have any other information or input you believe would be of assistance to the
Administration or Council on this issue, we would appreciate receiving it.

Pacific Rim Institute Of Safety. and Management
Proposal for the Apparatus and Storage Building
This proposal is to procure funding for the construction of' an apparatus'and storage building.
This new building would provide storage, housing of large apparatus, a hose drying tower and an
area that would provide training in high angle rescue operations.
Even though PRISM Training Center has only been in operation a short period of time. statewide
and international interest has surpassed our expectations. The Coast Guard. cruise liners, fishing
fl~B. local sportfishing guides, and off shore drilling companies are looking to obtain their fire
or emergency services training here at the Pacific Rim Institute of Safety and Management.
The proposed building will be located in Kenai, Alaska at 450 Marathon Rd. The proposed
building would be 100' x 60', have the capability to house four vehicles, a 12' x 12' x 50' hose
training tower, in addition to much needed storage and maintenance rooms.
The estimated cost of the facility is as follows (this quote does include the cost of paving for the

Revision of KMC 14--FY2000 Budget
The City Council, Planning & Zoning Commission, and Administration have all acknowledged
that KMC 14 is in need of revision. As you review the proposed FY2000 budget, you will note
that no funds are being requested for this project.
The rationale for not funding the project in FY2000 is as follows:
.
o
The Comprehensive Plan is in need of revision and updating. The Kenai Peninsula
Borough has provided $30,000 for this project and we have appropriated $30,000 as local
match. Should additional funds be needed, the Airport Land system would also be an
appropriate source based on its land holdings in our city.
It would be our proposal that a firm or an individual with expertise in comprehensive
planning be selected to work with P&Z, the staff, and the public to produce a plan that
projects well into the future for our community.
When this plan is developed and accepted, then KMC 14 would be revised.
It is realized that what should happen first is a "chicken and egg" argument with good points
being brought out on either side of the issue. However, if we re-write KMC 14 first, the result
may be the unnecessary restriction of the forward thinking required in comprehensive planning
because we would be approaching it with recently-adopted regulations. Even if this didn't occur,
there is a high likelihood that a Comprehensive Plan could result in further revision of KMC 14.
Based on this, it is our recommendation that the Comprehensive Plan be produced prior to the re-
write of KMC 14.

Kenai Municipal Airport
Mr. Atha's resignation as Airport Manager was accepted effective April 2, 1999. Advertising for
the position has begun in the Peninsula Clarion, the Anchorage Daily News, and the Journal of
the American Association of Airport Executives.
During Mr. Atha's tenure, airport offices were established that are open and accessible to the
public during normal working hours. A clerical position was upgraded to full-time to
accomplish this. The administration of airport terminal leases was transferred from City Hall to
the airport to better accommodate terminal tenants. The ability of the public and present and
future users to conduct airport business at the airport is not only one of image--it has become a
working reality. Future office developments and acquisition of a telephone system, which has
been submitted in the FY2000 budget, will only enhance this.
Mr. Atha submitted a report to me of activities initiated, as well as recommendations that should
be further pursued. Among others, the following were included in his report:
.
o
.
Information has been and is being accumulated for development of a Kenai Municipal
Airport brochure that would be of use both to general and commercial aviation. Samples
from other airports have been obtained as part of this project. Funding to implement this
has been requested in the FY2000 budget.
Work has begun with the Kenai Visitors Bureau for mutual advertising and website
development to promote Kenai as a destination through the Kenai Airport.
A shared booth has been scheduled with ARFF for the May 8-9 State Aviation Trade
Show in Anchorage to promote the capabilities of the Kenai Airport to individuals, as
well as to aviation businesses and trade groups.
Both the Shortwing Piper Club and the Cessna 170 Club have been contacted about
making Kenai a destination for a "fly in." This would bring users from both within and
without the state. The goal is to tie this type of activity to an annual event such as the 4th
of July celebration or Industry Appreciation Day activities in 1999 or 2000. Coordination

with the military for a static air display in conjunction with this event would also be a
goal.
Information has been gathered and plans are being made for Kenai Airport representation
at the World Cargo Summit to be held in Anchorage in September.
Contact with Airline Support, Inc. will continue as they pursue their interest to enter the
commuter market. Information on other potential carriers was provided in Mr. Atha's
recommendations.
Research into development of T-hangars was begun and is continuing. Their cost and
utilization at other Alaskan airports is being obtained. Cost of development at this airport
and survey of utilization interest will follow. Assessment then can be made regarding
whether an equitable return on investment would be realized if this project were
undertaken.
Review for upgrade and revision of airport regulations has been initiated.
The above issues are only a part of the report which was submitted by Mr. Atha. The full report
will be forwarded to his successor for review and implementation.

Revenue Sharing---Safe Communities
Dear Representative Smalley'
I appreciated very much your participation in the Kenai forum, which addressed State economic and
budget issues. It was very obvious you saw your role as one of becoming informed, as much as that of
informing.
One message that came out loud and clear from all eight of the focus groups was that taxation in the form
of income, sales, or property taxes was not an acceptable alternative. Use of the CBR eamings, capping
of PFD's, use of earnings reserves of the PFD program, budget cutting through consolidation of agencies,
and in some cases, reduction of non-basic services were the preferred means of addressing the problems.
The income tax was rejected as an alternative because these groups believed it was unfair to tax one
element of the citizenry in order to support the continued high distributions of PFD's. By taxing income
instead of capping the PFD's, you were making a direct transfer of income from one group of Alaskans to
another. The same would be tree if property taxes were raised in order to protect PFD's.
If Municipal Revenue Sharing and Safe Communities funding is reduced, or eliminated as has been
suggested by some, the result could be increased taxation to many of the citizens of Alaska. This could be
in the form of property or sales tax, depending on jurisdiction. In Kenai this would amount to an increase
of approximately 1-1/2 mils of property tax.
Increased property taxes are unacceptable at this time. Therefore, we request that funding for Municipal
Revenue Sharing and Safe Communities be maintained at this present level for FY2000.

Revenue Sharing--Safe Communities
Dear Senator Ward:
I regret that you were unable to attend the recent forum in Kenai that addressed State economic and
budget issues. We were informed that, had the Senate not been in session, you would have attended. Had
you been able to attend, I believe you would have given valuable input as well as received valuable input
from your constituents.
One message that came out loud and clear from all eight of the focus groups was that taxation in the form
of income, sales, or property taxes was not an acceptable alternative. Use of the CBR earnings, capping
of PFD's, use of earnings reserves of the PFD program, budget cutting through consolidation of agencies,

Following is a summary of the changes to Kenai Peninsula recreational and personal use fisheries that will be
in aff~-ct during the 1999 season. These changes are a result of thc Fcbruary~arch Board of Fishcrics
me,ting in. Soldotna.
EARLY RUN' KENAI RIVER CttIN00.K .Sd, i,MO_N
The biological escapement goal range of 7,200 to 14,400 was adopted. Tackle was restricl~d to the use of
only. one single hook (and only '~cial lur~s may bi= u.~d). Thc Board adopte~ this'regulation t~ rexiucc.
angler efficiency ill an effort to're, duce th~ frequency of inseason restrictions. If escapements are projected to
be less than 7,200 the fishery will b~ restricted ~o caleb and release only. However, during thc 1999 sea.son
tho dcpmm!¢nt may still allow the retention of fish greater than 52" in length during Periods restrictc~ to
catch and release. Tho usg Of bait and multiple hooks may bc allowed if thc escapement goal' is proj¢cte~ to
exceed 14,400.
In recent years guided anglcrs have take an increasing pcrccntagc of the total bm-vest. In an effort to move
toward parity.(50% guided harvest and ~0% unguided harvest), guided angl.gr~ w~rc further rcstricmcl..
Beginning in the year 2000 guided anglers will no longer bc allowed to fish Sundays in May or June; as is the
current regulation in July during tho late nm. In addition, guided anglers will bo restricted to the hours of
· . 6:00a.m. m 6:00 p.m. during the month of May (cUrrent guided hours are in effect during June and SUly). The
.. restrictions which do not go into effect until next year were dcfcrrcd to lessen impacts to anglers ~hat havc
already platmed trips thr the upcom~g ~ason. '
LATI!: RUN KENAII~,13~.~R CHINOOK SALMON
The biological escapement goal (BEG) range of 17,800 to 35,700 chinook salmon was adopted. Tackle was
restricted to the use of only one single hook although bali is permitted during the iat¢ run. In an effort to
move toward paritY between guided and non-guided anglers the Board has allowed the use of non-motorized
boats by non-guided anglers on Mondays in July. This regulation will also provide the Board and tho
dcpartmcnl; an opportunity to' gauge public response to a drift only fishery which has been proposed as 'a
means of addressing accelerated erosion from boat wakes.
Bogiunhtg in thc year 2000 guides will be restricted to only four clients per boat. This regulation addresses
both the parity, issue and the issue of habitat damage by reducing the number of anglers riding in boats: Boat
loading' has' b~n identified as.an issue in boat wake damage. '
Changes in both the Laze Run Chinook Salmon Management Plan and in tho Late Run'Sockeye. Salmon'
Management Plan which address how tho commercial fishery is managed may have impacts to tho inrivcr
. king salmon fishery during some years. Revisions to the Sockeye. Plan to distribute the yearly escapement. Of
sockeye salmon evenly within the escapement goal range, incorporate windows when commercial fishing is'.

P, 02
closccl based on run strength. During years when thc projected rcmm of Kenai sockeye salmon is l~ss that
two million fish continuous fishing do~s not take place and windows were not in¢orporate, d. During years
when the projected return is two million ~o four million sockeye salmon thc Upper Subdisu'i~t set gilln~t .,
fishory north, of tho Blanchard linc will be closed for one 24 hour period weekly beginning at noon on Fridays
al~ July 20. During p~riods when ~¢ projected return is proje~t~ at gr~a~r titan four million the weekly
.
closure will only b~ in effect if r.h~ p.rojecmd inriver return of chinook salmon is l~ss than an action point of
'40,000 fish. "
If the spawning escapemem of late run chinook salmon is proj¢c~eA to be less than 17,800 and thc inriver
fishery, is restricted'to achieve this escapement the set net fishery north of the Blanc'hard Linc Will b~ 'Close~
for an additional 24 hour period we~kly. If the inrivcr fishery is closed m achieve 17,300 th~ ~nfire Upper
Subdistrict set. gillnct fishery, the dr/f~ gfllnct fishery within one and one half milos of the Sh0reline~ and thc
· . . .
marine recreational 'fishery nomh of thc latitude of BluffPoint will also closv.
The Board clarified current regulatory language that prohibits an angler from fishing with a guide from a
vessel if the guide and boat are not registered with both the department and Alaska State Parks. This makes
the'mtgler m~d the guide subject to prosecution. In addition, the Board added, language'that makes it 'unlawful
for a third party to arrange or contract for guiding when the gui& is not in compliance with registration
requirements.
HABITAT 1HANAGE~N~, PLAN
The north bank ofth¢-Kenai River from fiver mile 27.3 upstream to'fiver mile 28.0 was Closed to bank fishing
from july 1 through August 15 to protect high value riparian habitat. Thi.s area ha.~ been 'closed by
Emergency Order during thc past two seasons.
._KA,,,.SILOF RIVER CLOSED,,T-O GUm.ED FISH!N.. G ON S..UNDAYS IN JI~.Y
The KaSilof River downstream oftlae Sterling Highway Bridge was closed to fishing by guided anglers on
Sundays during the month of July. This measure was in response to increased interest 'in the late run chinook
salmon fishery and a lack of biological information regarding population size. This regulation will not go into' .
effec~ until next year. It was deferred to lessen impacts to anglers that have already planned trips for the
upcoming season.
COHO~ALMON
The daily bag limit in the Russian River and that area of the Kenai River downstream,from the Russian River
confluence to the Ferry Crossing cable was reduced from three coho salmon.to one.. This' C°nservation
measure was in response to.an increasingly popular fishery in th.e. Russian River where coho stoclcs are
subjected, to a high exploitation rate.
Catch and release fishing for coho salmon will now be permi~d once the bag limit is retained in that area
upstream from the outlet of Skil'ak Lake to the outlet of Kenai Lake. 'rlte Board eased this restriction as hook
and release mortality is not a serious concern in this area. Coho salmon are most vulnerable to hook and
release .mortally. in bait fisheries m~d whea~ they fa'st enter ,fresh water.
P, 03
Slikok Creek is now closed to all salmon fishing. This measure will protect small numbers of coho salmon
which spawn in this creek.
PERSON_ALUS. _E
The uorth shore of the Kenai River from a departmeat marker located at the end of Main Su'eet in Kznai
up~a'eam to a department marker located near the Kcuai City Dock is now closed to dip netting from show.
This measure was in response to increased erosion and habitat concerns in'this area.
Thc set net fishery at thc mouth of thc Kasilofwill now begin Sun~ 16 instead of June 21 and thc guidciin~'
harvest Iov~l ha~ b~en increased from 5,000- 10,000 to 10,000 - 20,000 fish.
. .
The Board adopted a definition of "immediately" as to when personal use fish must be recorded on the
harvest record. Immediately means before concealing the salmon from plain view or trmtsporting th~ ~almon
from the fishing site. This de£mition is th~ same that applies as to when the tails of personal use fish must be,
clipped.
WEST COOK INLET
'Several'regulations to provide additional" protection to coho salmon were enacted. In all streams on thc West
Side of Cook Inlet anglers may no longer continue fishing once the bag or pt~.~.~e.~it~n limit of coho ha.,~ been
retained. A spawning season closure of October 1 through December 31 was created. In those waters south
of the latitude oft he southern end of Chlsik Island only artificial lures may be used b~ginning July 1 $. All
fishing is prohibited in Clcarwa£cr Cn:¢k upstream from a marker plac~d on~ mile upstream from thc
confluence of Cl~arwat~r and Chinima Crock. All fishing is also prohibited upstream from a marker placed
one mile upstream from Cook Inlet 0n ,Shelter Creek.
MISCEI.L.~'EOU$
That area adjacent to Slikok Creek that is currently closed to all fishing t?om JanuarY I through July 14 to
protect early mn chinook salmon has now been designa~ as a fly-fishing-only area during this same .time
period. This area remains closed to fishing from boats,only flies with a point of not more that 3/$ inelms from
point w shank may be mutt, and fi~hing for chinook salmon is still prohibited. This. regulation will provide
additional Opportunity in this popular shore fishing area and is still expected to proVide protection to early mn
chinook salmon.
The downstream marker for,the Centennial Park closed to boat fishing area was redefined as a point
approximately 250 yards downstream from the boat launch breakwater. The current marker has been in this
· 'location since the area was established and this change merely brings thc rcgul, ation into compliance with
original Board intent.
King salmon on the Kcnai Peninsula and in Cook haler marine waters are now considered as part of a
conservative daily or seasonal bag limit and must be recorded when th~ ar, 20 inches nor 16 inches or
greater in length.
All but fu~r 300 yards of Upper Kussian(Goar Creek) is now closed to fishing in during the month on August."
This measure was enacted to provide protection to spawning sockeye salmon.

Decrepitude
ost people xvould have no trouble spotting a junk car if the3,
saw one rotting on blocks in somebody's front yard. But until
recently, it wasn't so easy for offlci~s in Kenai, Alaska.
The cit3"s 1983 junk car lag,, it seems, was a bit vague
about what constitutes "junk." This had never been a problem
until offices tried to bust a resident named Gus Rodes for a
rusted vehicular monument embedded in the mud of his yard.
Rodes challenged the charge and ultimately lost, although a
court agreed that the city's definition needed a tune-up.
In December, the city, council unanimously approved more
precise language. Junk cars, it said, are missing at least two of
the following: glass, two wheels or tires, body panels or
bumpers, and essential components such as the engine, brakes
or front passenger seat. Exceptions were made for cars that are
raced at local racetracks. "We wanted to get out of a situation
where a defendant could say, 'If I just put a battery, in there I
could drive it away,'" says Kenai City Attorney Cary Graves.
Many other U.S. cities define junk cars in more general terms,
with the mark of a junker being that it is both unlicensed and
unregistered. But Kenai is not alone in delving into dirt5,
details. Red Lion Borough in south-central Pennsylvania goes so
far as to call a car junk if it '~as vegetation growing in or around
it," or if it "is kept in such a way as to allow animals, insects or ver-
min to occupy it or the area around it." --Christopher Swope
What's a pequot?
ith three town governments spend-
ing a lot of money to research the
history of two local Indian tribes,
you'd think this was Native Ameri-
can Heritage Month in southeast-
ern Connecticut.
It isn't. The research by North Stoning-
ton, Ledyard and Preston is driven by
fears that claims by the Eastern Pequots
and Paucatuck Eastern Pequots to an
unbroken tribal heritage will result in yet
another Indian gambling casino in the
region, bringing more traffic jams and fur-
ther straining services. The area already
is home to the huge Foxwoods Resort
Casino, owned by the Mashantucket
Pequots, and the Mohegan Sun Casino,
run by the Mohegans.
The Eastern and Paucatuck Eastern
Pequots are doing their own tribal
research. To make land claims and open
casinos, they must prove to the Bureau
of Indian Affairs that they are direct
descendants of the original Pequots and
have had a continuous tribal existence in
the area.
The towns have a genealogist and his-
torian studying the tribes' history, looking
back as far as 1635. The historian's ini-
tial report is encouraging to the towns: It
says one prominent Eastern Pequot family
living today on the reservation in North
Stonington cannot claim pure Pequot
ancestry because its ancestors married
non-Indians and chose a non-Indian way of
life. There was no immediate response
from the tribes to the report.
The genealogical effort has cost the
towns $52,000 so far, a figure that's
expected to more than double. But it will
be money well spent if the towns can
keep more casinos from being built, says
Nicholas Muliane II, first selectman in
North Stonington. Native American gam-
bling halls "pay no taxes and contribute
nothing to the town's expenses," he says.
"There are enormous impact costs and no
benefits." --Ellen Perlman

Re:
Alaska State Aviation Conference and Trade Show
Spdng is on the way and that means geadng up for summer time activities.
One of the first activities of the coming season is the Alaska State Aviation Conference and Trade
Show. This year our airport would like to participate in the trade show by shadng a booth with
Pdsm and the Alaska Regional Fire Training Center. Our reserved area includes an 8' x 10'
exhibit booth, two tables and two chairs.
The show is scheduled the weekend of May 8th & 9th, in the FedEx Maintenance Hangar at the
An~omge International Airport. Event hour~ for Saturday am 9:00am to 6:00pm and Sunday
from 10:00am to 5:00pm. A Static Display will be set up dudng the show and will also be available
for vis, ting on Friday, May 7th from 10:00am to 12pm.
We are attempting to obtain some small promotional products such as pens, note pads, and letter
openers. We hope to spend time letting the Aviation community know what the Kenai Municipal
Airport and the surrounding community have to offer in the way of facilities, services, land, and
recreational opportunities.
We encourage your comments and suggestions as to how we may make this phase of our
marketing strategy a success. We could also use information on available materials for setting up
display booths.

Dear Mrs. Zirul and Mrs. Whelan,
Congratulations on the success of the Career Fair held last Thursday. What a terrific opportunity to bring
together the future of the Kenai Peninsula and the local businesses. It sounds like it was well-attended and
great success.
The best way to encourage economic growth on the Kenai Peninsula is by raising the awareness of what is
available within the community. By placing it all in one location makes it that much easier. This is
networking at it's best.
I hope that the Kenai Chamber of Commerce, Economic Development District, and the City of Kenai
continue to encourage programs such as the Career Fair. I wish you continued success in all your ventures.
Best wishes,
Representative Hal Smalley

MANAGER'S TIPS
Employees today want to know
how the company is doing
financially. While it seems like
a big chore to educate
employees, it can be made
much easier by breaking it
down into steps:
Explain the budget. Let
employees know how to
break down what each
section and line items.
means. Throughout the year,
keep employees updated on
how each unit is doing
against the budget.
2 Post sales forecasts and
other sales data. Make sure
everyone knows what the
expectations and the realities
are; post sales numbers
daily, weekly and monthly.
A 4-Step Guide
For Sharing Financial
Information with
Employees
Share all cost data. Make
sure they understand what it
costs to make and deriver a
product. Let employees
know the various costs that
go into marketing overhead,
accounting, production, etc.
4 Share profit and loss data.
It's not unusual for your
employees to have no
concept of the financial
realities of where they work.
Make sure each of your
employees knows what your
profit margin is. And what
you would like it to be.

A PUBLICATION OF THE STATE OF ALASKA DIVISION OF ELECTIONS
Hello, readers!0
Hello readers! Happy New Year to you all, and be-
lated happy St. Patrick's Day, too! In this first 1999
issue of Election News we send greetings to legisla-
tors now in session in Juneau and to everyone on our
growing mailing list. We're pleased that people are
calling or e-mailing us for copies of our newsletter. In
case anyone hasn't noticed, Election News is also
available on our web site.
We're featuring legislation in this March issue. Them
~re important topics related to legislation the division
,Upports and issues the administration and the leg-
islature support involving the elections process. We're
also profiling the staff person who supervises the
division's legislative projects, Gail Fenumiai.
Hope you enjoy your reading. We'll see you again in
early summer!
Special statewide advisory
election possible in June
If the legislature passes House Bills 89 and 90 by
March 24, the Division of Elections will conduct a spe-
cial statewide election June 1 .The issue would be Gov-
ernor Knowles' proposal to appropriate $4 billion from
the earnings reserve account of the Alaska permanent
fund to the constitutional budget reserve fund to help
provide sustainable revenue for a balanced budget.
·
HB89 calls for an advisory vote on the issue; HB90
makes the appropriation.
At Election News press time, the legislature was hear- -q public debate on the issue.
"The legislation needs to be passed and signed by the
governor by March 24 in order for the Department of
Justice to issue precleamnce in time for a June 1 vote,"
(continued on page 7)
Division backs legislation
to further streamline
elections
In an effort to streamline the election process for voters and officials
running elections, the Division of Elections is supporting legislation
this year to simplify, cladfy and change certain requirements in Title
15, Alaska's election law.
The legislative package has been introduced in the state Senate by
Senator Tim Kelly (R-Anchorage) and in the House by Rep. Jeannette
James (R-North Pole). Kelly chairs the Senate Rules Committee;
James chairs House State Affairs.
The legislation falls into five general categories:
· Voter registration
· Election procedures
· The voting process
· Candidacy requirements
· Ballot counting

Election News
1999 Election Calendar
Odd-numbered years are usually "off"
years for the Division of Elections, but
as Election News goes to press, Gov-
ernor Tony Knowles is proposing a
statewide advisory vote to be held June
1 regarding a special use of the Alaska
permanent fund earnings reserve ac-
count. (See story, page 1, and the It.
governor's comment, this page.) We'll
keep you posted as information about
the election becomes available.
Every year, of course, the division su-
pervises elections in communities and
villages where them are no local gov-
erning bodies. These are REAA,
CRSA, liquor option and incorporation/
dissolution elections.
REAAs are rural school districts, or-
ganized in 1975, that serve approxi-
mately 34,500 voters. Elections for
school board are held in October. This
year that date is October 5. In addi-
tion to the regular election, the divi-
sion conducts special REAA elections
related to run-offs, recalls and reorga-
nizations.
Similar to REAAs, CRSAs are service
areas govemed by advisory boards that
deal with coastal resource and water-
way use management issues. Four
CRSA board elections will take place
October 5.
In 1980 the legislature enacted laws
that allow voters in unincorporated
communities to vote on issues related
to the sale, importation, and posses-
sion of alcoholic beverages in their
communities. The division conducts
these special elections as requested.
Sometimes, residents of a village or
group of communities express inter-
est in becoming an organized or in-
corporated city or borough, with their
own local government. The division
conducts, as requested, the election
in which voters decide whether or not
incorporation will take place.

A Comment from Lt. Governor Fran Ulmer
Every year that we hold statewide elections, the Division of Elections recruits
more than 2,500 volunteers to work on election boards around the state, i say
"volunteers" because what the division pays its workers is a small amount for
what they do and the responsibility they feel.
These are people who open and close the polls, oversee the process while voters
sign precinct registers, distribute ballots, see that voted ballots are properly
inserted in the state's new Accu-Vote computers or in ballot boxes, and maintain
the integrity and security of the electoral process. Representative of various party
affiliations and persuasions, they cooperatively represent the best in all of us as
they make us welcome at the polling place, answer our questions and send us
on our way with cheery farewells.
Although it is now March in a new year, I wish to thank our election workers,
belatedly, for their assistance last year during the August primary and November
general elections and for helping us successfully implement a new ballot count-
ing system, Accu-vote! It was well received by voters and the media who
appreciated quicker results.
I also wish to thank all you municipal clerks who served as absentee voting
officials during the election year. We appreciate your assistance with a number
of tasks that included helping us recruit election boards and making your offices
available as voting locations.
This year, as many Election News readers know, Governor Knowles is proposing
a special statewide election June 1 that would serve as an advisory vote on the
use of the Alaska permanent fund earnings reserve account. The idea behind it is
to help provide sustainable revenue for a balanced budget. There's a story in this
newsletter outlining initial details and you'll be hearing more details soon.
Although 1999 would not be a statewide election year, we may just have one
after all, and those of you who assist us with elections may in some way be
asked to do so again sooner than you expected. If that happens, we'll appreciate
your assistance very much.
I also want to tell you we are pleased that the voter rolls will soon be adjusted to
more accurately reflect how many voters them actually are in Alaska. Legislation
passed in 1998 will allow us to do this, and the division is hard at work develop-
ing and distributing letters and forms. We look forward to the time when the
division can say with confidence what those numbers truly are.
Always, the Division of Elections welcomes suggestions and ideas. Please
contact me at Fran_Ulmer@gov.state.ak. us or the division staff with your com-
ments and questions. We're here to help. The job we do is made easier by
people like you who believe public service and participation in the public process
are the backbone of our government.
Thank you!

Can you guess why Alaska's general elections are held in November when the
state constitution says they are to take place in October?
A Riggins, Idaho, high-school student recently asked a question that prompted
us to do some interesting research, and we'd like to share the results of that
effort with Election News readers. "Your state constitution says general elec-
tions in Alaska are held in October. Your law says general elections are held
in November. How did October become November in Alaska?" the student
asked.
Good question, Luke Baumgarten, senior from Salmon River High School!
Transcripts of the 1955-1956 Constitutional Convention provided us with our
response.

When Alaska was a territory, the election of its non-voting delegate to Con-
gross and other territorial officials, such as members of the legislature, took
place in October. When delegates to the Constitutional Convention met on
the University of Alaska campus in Fairbanks in November, 1955, to draft a
constitution for a new "State of Alaska" they considered, among other issues,
when elections should be held.
After discussion, they agreed that the new state should continue to hold its
general elections in October, though they also agreed that a state legislature
could change the day and the month if it so desired. Some delegates said
October was a more convenient month for elections than November for fisher-
men, miners coming in from the creeks, and construction workers, since their
work ended in October.
One delegate said, "In November the rivers are freezing up, the sloughs are full
of overflow ice and water, and it's important for the trapper to get around the
country. He can't even get to a post office to send in an absentee ballot then.
This will hold true for the Lower Kuskokwim and probably the Lower Yukon"
Another delegate supporting October elections said, "If we have an election in
November it takes a certain amount of time to canvass the votes and to ascer-
tain the results, and that would be too short
a time (before the legislature convened in
January)." Another said, "If a new govemor is
elected in November he won't have any time
when he takes office to acquaint himself with
the job before the legislature meets."
Delegates appeared to be confused about
the month presidential electors should vote.
One delegate said he "had it on good author-
ity that it was not necessary to elect elec-
tors in November," that voters could elect
them and statewide candidates plus a state
legislature in October. Another said, "No,
Congress has adopted the election date in
November and we shouldn't be at variance
with them if we want to be one of the sister-
hood of states." As residents of the territory,
Alaskans could not vote for president. If state-
hood arrived, they could.
Finally delegates took a vote, selecting Oc-
tober as the month to hold general elections
in a new state, and the language as written
then appears in the constitution now.
(Editor's Note: Those pushing for Novem-
ber were right. In 1845 Congress estab-
lished the Tuesday after the first Monday
in November every fourth year for the se-
lection of electors. 3U.S.C. 1)
In the early summer of 1958 Congress
passed the Statehood Act giving Alaskans
the opportunity to decide whether they wanted
to join the union. It said that before August
1, 1958, territorial Governor Mike Stepovich
was to issue a proclamation requiring the
territory to hold a primary and general elec-
tion for the purpose of ratifying the act and
electing a governor, a full delegation to Con-
gress and a state legislature. The primary
election was held August 26, 1958, and the
general, November 25. Statehood was ap-
proved by a large majority of the voters.
In 1959 the first state legislature passed a
law setting the month and the date for
Alaska's general election as the Tuesday
after the first Monday in November in even-
numbered years. The law also establishe~
the date for the primary election as the fir,..
Tuesday after the first Monday in August.
That date was later changed to the fourth
Tuesday in August.

Election News
The continuing interest in
initiative petitions
In last year's general election, five initiative petitions
were placed on the ballot:
~ An act prohibiting billboards
An act reqUiring government to use English in all gov-
ernment functions and actions
An act requiring the It. governor to allow candidates
for the United States Congress or Alaska legislature
to make a term limits pledge
An act allowing patients to use marijuana for certain
medical purposes
An act prohibiting a person from using a snare with
the intent of trapping a wolf
Status of Current Petitions
Initiative Petition' 98PROP
"An Act relating to property tax relief"
Summary Language: Method of Assessment for Property
Taxes
This bill changes the way property is assessed for taxes.
Property would be assessed at its full and true value as of
January 1 with three exceptions. One of these exceptions
is new. If the property is sold, then the value is the pur-
chase price at the time of sale, and remains at that value
unless sold again. The definition of full and true value is
also modified. This would be defined as the price the
property brings in an open market at the time of sale
between a willing seller and buyer who are familiar with the
property." Pdmary sponsors are Scott Kohihaas, Uwe
Kalenka and David Beckvold. Petition booklets were
distributed to the initiative committee October 22, 1998,
and the petition must be filed by October 22, 1999.
All but the snare initiative passed.
Applications for throe initiative petition applications were
filed in 1998. Their content and status are summarized on
this page. The petition 98PROP has been out for signa-
ture gathering since last fall. Petitions filed after the 1998
general election will require approximately 22,700 signa-
tums in order to be placed on the ballot. This figure is
almost 2,000 less than the number required on last year's
ballot. The mason for this is that fewer voters went to the
polls in 1998 than in 1996. The law presently states that
10 percent of those who voted in the previous general elec-
tion, in two thirds of the state's 40 election districts, must
sign a petition in order for it to qualify for placement on a
statewide ,ballot.
Initiative Petition: 98HDRO
"An Act requiring the competitive sale of hydroelectric
projects owned by the State of Alaska and relating to
the financing of acquisition of ownemhip interests in
the projects by retail power consumem"
Primary sponsors are Lonnie L. Haughton, Diane Hudson
and Jim Lottsfeldt. The petition application was received in
the Lt. Governor's Office July 14, 1998. A copy of the
application and signatures were sent to the Department of
Law and Division of Elections July 20, 1998, for review and
verification of signatures. Notification that the division
verified 100 signatures of qualified voters was received
August 12, 1998. The application is at the Department of
Law for review.
Legislation that would change requirements related to pe-
tition signature gathering has been introduced in the State
House this session. Sponsored by Rep. Bill VVilliams (R-
Saxman), House Bill 45 would change the number of dis-
tdcts represented in the total signatures from two-thirds to
throe-fourths (30 rather than 27 of the state's 40 election
districts).
In addition, the number of signatures from each house dis-
trict must meet at least 10 percent of those who voted in
the preceding general election in that house district. Cur-
rent rules that state 10 percent of the voters must sign
statewide also state that only one signature is required
from two-thirds of the voting districts.
The changes in this bill require passage of a constitutional
amendment (H JR7) and would take effect only if the amend-
ment passes. The changes would also require program-
ming enhancements by the Division of Elections, so a tis,
cai note has been attached.
Initiative Petition: 981NDP
"An Act to provide for a vote of independence"
Primary sponsors were Scott Kohlhaas, Leonard Karpinski,
and Edward Hoch. The petition application was received in
the Lt. Governor's Office November 10, 1998. A copy of the
application and signatures were sent to the Department of
Law and Division of Elections November 12, 1998, for
review and verification of signatures. Notification that the
division verified 100 signatures of qualified voters was
received December 16, 1998. On March 2, 1999, the
Department of Law found that the subject of the initiative
did not comply with the constitutional and statutory provi-
sions governing the use of the initiative. Based on this
recommendation, and in accordance with AS 15.45.070, Lt.
Governor Ulmer on March 4 denied the certification of the
application.
HB45 and H JR7 were assigned both to the State Affairs and
Finance Committees for initial legislative review.

Legislation, continued...
There is also a section the division's legislative liai-
son, Gail Fenumiai, calls "general housekeeping"--
repealing the chapter on punch-card voting, for in-
stance, since those precincts that used punch
cards now cast ballots by Accu-Vote, the state's
new optical scan tabulation system.
A proposed change related to voter registration
would allow the mailing address on file with the
Permanent Fund Dividend Division to serve as the
official mailing address on the voter registration
record since election officials believe it is the most
accurate address for Alaska's voters.
Under election procedures, the division is propos-
ing that the requirement in law to post names of
registered voters 40 days prior to an election be
eliminated. "It's simply not an efficient way to get
people registered or their registrations updated prior
to an election," Fenumiai said.
The division is recommending, under voting pro-
cess proposals, that language be added to clarify
what portions of a ballot will count if a voter moves
from one district to another after the 30-day cutoff
period to update registration information.
Under candidacy requirements, the use of stickers
would be repealed by law. Right now the use of
Election News
Message from the Director
We are pleased to welcome Lt. Governor Ulmer to the pages of Elec-
tion News this issue. We appreciate her expression of thanks to elec-
tion workers and municipal clerks throughout the state. The It. gover-
nor also discusses the special statewide election Governor Knowles
has proposed for June 1 and the division's list maintenance effort, now
underway. I'd like to comment briefly on the latter.
We hope to receive preclearance late this month from the Department
of Justice for the notices we will send voters whose Alaska registration
we question. We would then expect a first mailing to go out to these
people in mid Apdl, followed by a second mailing in mid June. If we are
unable to verify their addresses and confirm they are active voters by
late July, we would then put them on an inactive list. They could vote,
but until they do so, they would not be counted in voter turnout figures.
We will mail the first notice to 90,000 voters currently listed on our
voter rolls. Half this number we consider inactive now, so it is the other
45,000 whose status will make the difference in helping us determine
the accuracy of our list.
We'll be keeping you posted on this issue and other issues as they
develop. Although 1999 is not a major election year, you can see there's
a lot going on at the Division of Elections.

section is a requirement that political party candi-
dates for governor and It govemor must have a run-
ning mate in order to appear on the ballot. Addi-
tionally, write-in candidates would have to file a
declaration with the division that contains the same
information required of candidates whose names
will appear on the primary election ballot.
Regarding ballot counting, procedures for precincts
that hand count ballots and those that use tabula-
tors would be clarified.
cess is voter tumout. She enjoys monitoring the activities of other states
that are implementing programs to encourage people to vote. "Young
people need to understand the reasons why it's important," she says.
Gail Nygard Fenumiai was born in Juneau. Her parents moved from
Montana to Arizona to Kotzebue, where her father worked for the Bureau
of Indian Affairs, in 1959. She graduated from Juneau-Douglas High
School, attended Arizona State and then graduated from the University
of Alaska Southeast with a degree in business administration and a
management emphasis.
Our bill is mom than 30 pages long," Fenumiai said.
"We carefully researched all areas of our law to
see where clarifications and simplifications could
be made. We're satisfied that we've come up with
a product that makes the voting process more con-
venient and efficient. We'd like to thank our spon-
sors and are looking forward to outlining the details
of the bill to all legislators and the general public."
Calendar, continuetL..
Residents of a village or group of communities oc-
casionally express interest in dissolving their local
government unit. Following the presentation of the
appropriate request from the Department of Com-
munity and Regional Affairs, the division conducts
an election in which voters decide whether or not
to dissolve the local government.
,
"1 finished college after my second child was born. I'm very proud of
that," she says.
Gail was executive assistant to Lt. Governor Stephen McAIpine from
1983 - 1988. She worked as election coordinator at the Division of Elec-
tions from 1988 - 1989, and then returned to the division in 1995.
She and Al Fenumiai, who is employed by the state troopers, have three
children: Nicole, Brittany and Phillip. The kids are small and Gail is very
much involved in school activities, such as Halloween carnivals and par-
ent group meetings.
Nicole, at age 7, wrote The Important Book - i Love My Mother and Sh
Loves Me, for Gail. In tote it says:
"1 love my mother because she takes me shopping sometimes to get
toys and clothes. She helps me with my piano music. Sometimes she
takes me to siramic (sic). I love my mom and she loves me very much."

Advisory election, continued...
ays the division's legislative liaison, Gaii Fenumiai.
(Editor's Note: Before the State of Alaska, or any of its po-
litical subdivisions, may change a voting law, practice, or
procedure, approval for that change must be given by the
DOJ. The process to request approval for a change and the
granting of the change is called preclearance. Its history be-
gan with the passage by Congress of the Voing Rights Act
of f 965. Normally, a preclearance process takes 60 days from
beginning to end.)
The Division of Elections has recommended the June I election
be conducted by mail rather than in person. The reason, Fenumiai
says, is expense and convenience. The division estimates that
a by-mail election on this issue will cost $520,000 and a stan-
dard election would cost $839,000.
"A by-mail election would be convenient for several reasons,"
she said. "In the northwest part of the state, schools close in
late May and subsistence activities begin the first week in June,
so a lot of voters would be gone at the time of the election."
Fisheries openings are in May and June, also, she noted.
In addition, recruiting election workers is a 5 -6 month process.
The procurement process for equipment and forms takes 4 - 5
3onths. Accu-Vote units and phone lines connected to the opti-
.;al-scan ballot tabulation process would need testing.
"If we were to conduct the election by mail, we would mail bal-
lots May 10 before schools close and before subsistence activi-
ties begin. That would allow more than two weeks for voters to
vote and return their ballots timely," she said. She also noted
that ballots can be received up to 10 days after an election if
they are postmarked on Election Day and mailed from within the
United States.
If the advisory vote were to be conducted by mail, it would be the
first time Alaska had held a statewide by-mail election. For a
number of years the division has conducted small, special rural
elections by mail.
Last November Oregon approved an initiative petition to conduct
all state elections by mail. A chief sponsor of the ballot measure
was the Oregon League of Women Voters.
"We've been doing by-mail elections since 1981 ," the clerk of
Oregon's Madon County, Al Davidson, another sponsor, told Elec-
tion News. "In fact, for the past eight years, all our elections
except the primary and general have been by mail. Now they will
be, too."
,)avidson noted that voter turnout is higher by mail. He also com-
mented positively on convenience and cost. More than 70 per-
cent of Oregon voters approved last fall's initiative on the by-mail
issue.

Elections' web site update
Understandably, the number of hits and users for the
Division of Elections' web site has gone down since the
crush of the election when everyone was interested in
election results.
However, them were still over 19,000 hits from more than

sible to the majority of our audience," said webmaster
Barb Whiting.
New information and updates on the site:
The index on the home page has been simplified.
We hope you will be able to find what you need

The division conducts elections for REAAs (rural
school boards) and CRSAs (Coastal Resource
Service Area boards), so we have added the
Declaration of Candidacy forms for filing for office
for those boards.
The REAA and CRSA board information has been
updated to reflect the board members elected in
the last election and also shows which seats are
available for the 1999 election.
The staff directory has been updated showing
vacancies when they occur.
The page showing the names of our elected
officials has been updated from the last election.
Since the legislature is now in session, we hope
this will be helpful if you are attempting to contact
your legislators.
The status of the petitions in progress has been
updated along with general instructions on how to
do an initiative petition, which includes legislation
that was passed.
The page showing the number of registered voters
by party and by precinct is updated monthly.

....
lng, not oil drilling, is the chief reason for
the decline in beluga whale popula-
tions. About 70 belugas are killed each
year in Cook Inlet by hunters. Roughly
half of those are believed shot and
killed each year, but lost in the Inlet's
silty waters.
In November, after a last-minute
change in methodology used to esti-
mate the beluga population, NMFS
determined the 1998 population had
dropped to approximately 350. Based
on the adjusted number, NMFS has
warned that the Cook Inlet beluga could
become extinct in a decade if current
hunting levels continue.
Some subsistence hunters have
voluntarily agreed to curtail their hunting.
At a recent conference in Anchorage,
tribal leaders and hunters agreed to
begin hammering out an agreement
regulating beluga hunting. Both said
they would like to see some kind of "co-
management" as provided for in the
Marine Mammal Protection Act
(MMPA), which would involve them in
developing and implementing a
conservation plan with the federal
government. Such a plan would help
.orevent the beluga from declining more

reduced harvest and the closing of
Southeast Alaska's two pulp mills driv-
ing that downward trend. Like oil and
mining, these are among the highest
paying jobs in Alaska.
Alaska's resource industries now
comprise about 45 percent of Alaska's
gross state product with oil accounting
for 36 percent while forestry, mining
and fishing combine for 7 percent. In
terms of direct revenues to the state, no
other industry can offset the loss of oil
money to the general fund. Oil accounts
for approximately three quarters of the
state's revenues to fund a wide variety
of programs ranging from general wel-
fare to schools and roads.
So while a stable, more diversifi
economy may cushion the slump's im-
pact, we all need to be concerned about
hard times in the oil industry, as well as
timber, mining and fishing.
RDC's number one public policy
initiative is the establishment of a long-
term fiscal plan which will help provide
a positive business climate for current
and future investors.
In February, RDC President Allen
Bingham presented testimony before
the Anchorage Caucus on the need for
such a plan. Additionally. Board
members discussed the fiscal gap issue
with the administration and the
Legislature in conjunction with its recent
visit to Juneau.
RDC is continuing to meet with
several other trade organizations to

business community on a unified fiscal
plan. Specifically, this joint effort is study-
ing potential tools to close the fiscal

Wilderness
Preservationists seek to
add millions of acres to
Wilderness system
A new effort among environmental
groups to designate tens of millions of
acres of rural lands across the western
United States as Wilderness is gaining
momentum as a new and aggressive
generation of preservationists organize
across the West to block new mining,
logging, oil exploration, cattle grazing
and any development that would bring
man's presence to remote areas.
After years of dispute with the
federal government over how much

ANWR exploration
More than two out of three Alas-
kans (71%) support oil exploration on
the Coastal Plain of ANWR. Polling
conducted in February by the Dittman
Research Corporation demonstrated
that a vast majority of Alaskans con-
tinue to support opening ANWR to oil
and gas exploration.
Wilderness Coalition have logged
thousands of hours in the backcountry
taking more than 50.000 photographs
of undeveloped lands. They have
catalogued 9.1 million acres of land
they claim is suitable for federal
Wilderness designation- five times as
much as the Bureau of Land
Management (BLM) has recommended.
The Utah Wilderness Coalition's
new inventory will be the foundation of
a new bill seeking more Wilderness
designations and is expected to be
introduced in Congress soon. Similar
coalitions in Alaska and Colorado also
plan to soon introduce Wilderness bills.
In virtually every western state,
environmental activists armed with
cameras, maps, Global Positioning
Systems, and other tools are hiking the
backcountry to take photographs and
gather additional information to
challenge federal inventories.
Environmentalists hope to introduce
bills demanding more than 40 million
acres of Wilderness be added to the
nation's current inventory of 104 million
acres. More than 5~ million acres of the

Many environmental activists, how-

short and are demanding much more.
in the meantime, the Clinton adminis-
tration last spring proposed a tempo-
rary halt to road-building on most
roadless areas in national forests. The
Forest Service last month implemented
the year-and-a-half moratorium on road
building. The administrative decision
gives green advocates time to build
more support for permanent protection.
Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt is
also reportedly exploring various pro-
posals, including a bill that designates
all National Park Service and National
Wildlife Refuge lands as Wilderness.
Meanwhile, in Alaska
environmentalists are proposing more
than 15 million acres of additional
Wilderness designations, including the
Coastal Plain of ANWR, America's
hottest onshore oil prospect. So once
again we have our work cut out for us.
Stayed tuned as the battle heats up.
We'll need your help to hold the line.
Miners rank Alaska high
A survey of North American mining
companies revealed that Alaska ranked
as the ninth most popular place among
30 regions in North America to explore.
In their ranking, the companies
considered mineral potential, taxation,
regulatory consistency and land use
policies, according to The Fraser
Institute. a British Columbia think tank
that released the survey results. Nevada
ranked first in the survey.
"Everyone has known that the
minerals are here, and now they are
beginning to see that the state is
supportive of mineral development,"
said Ron Sheardown, President of the
Alaska Miners Association. "This is
essential if mining is going to realize its
true potential and provide jobs and
benefits."

There have been many ongoing improvements since the
oil spill in Prince William Sound ten years ago. Lessons
learned from tine spill have made the Sound safer today with
the toughest oil spill prevention and response laws in the
world applying to every tanker calling on Alyeska Pipeline
Service Company's marine terminal in Valdez.
A fleet of spill response vessels and tugs, known as
SERVS. now escort loaded oil tankers througi~ Prince William
Sound into the Gulf of Alaska. If any trouble develops, these
vessels are on the spot to handle emergencies. Two highly-
maneuverai31e tractor tugs were added to the fleet last
summer to provide added protection. And one new enhanced
tractor tug, the most powerful ever built, was put into opera-
tion last month. A similar tug is expected to be put into service
this summer.
In 1989, the U.S. Coast Guard's marine radar system
extended a few miles beyond the Valdez Arm. The radar
system is still in place, but a much more advanced satellite
system has been added to track the location of tankers and
escort vessels throughout the Sound and up to 60 miles into
the Gulf of Alaska. It's the only fully implemented system of
its kind in the world.
Barges equipped with oil spill containment and clean-up
equipment are positioned at key locations in the Sound. An
extensive maintenance program, frequent drills and inspec-
tions keep spill crews and equipment in top shape.
Prince William Sound now holds the largest stockpile of
oil response equipment and materials in the world. Today
there are 34 miles of boom in Valdez and more than 60
skimming systems with a rated capability of recovering 300,000
barrels in 72 hours.
A recent risk assessment of shipping operations re-
vealed that the escort response vessels and other changes
have reduced the risk of another major spill in Prince William
Sound by 75 percent.
"We'll never totally eliminate the risk of another spill, but
we're better prepared now" said Tom Chapple, who heads
the Alaska Department of Conservation's industry prepared-
ness group. "A number of steps have i3een taken that give me
and a lot of others more comfort."
Today the Sound is protected by the strictest spill pre-
vention and preparedness regulations in tine world and one of
the most advanced vessel tracking systems.

RDC, MMS, State and
North Slope Borough
endorse Northstar
The Resource Development Council has joined with the
State of Alaska, the North Slope Borough and the U.S.
Minerals Management Service (MMS) in urging the Army
Corps of Engineers to support a proposal by BP Exploration
(Alaska), Inc., to bring a pipeline straight to shore from the
offshore Northstar oil field northwest of Prudhoe Bay.
The Corps issued its Final Environmental Impact State-
ment for the NOrthstar project on February 5. RDC, as well as
MMS, the State and the North Slope Borough, all support
Alternative 2 in the FEiS as opposed to Alternative 5, the
Corps "environmentally-preferred" route.
Alternative 2 features the shortest offshore pipeline seg-
ment of any of the proposed routes. Alternative 5 requires a
longer pipeline route which comes aground at West Dock and
follows existing road or pipeline corridors. The MMS has
concluded that adopting the shortest offshore pipeline seg-
ment "is prudent and the most responsible alternative given
public concern" about potential oil spills. The subsea portion
of Alternative 2 is 33 percent shorter than Alternative 5. The
) FElS estimates that the maximum potential oil spill volume is
reduced by approximately 45 percent under Alternative 2.
In its comments to the Corps, RDC emphasized that
Alternative 2 keeps the overall footprint to a minimum and
provides maximum protection for the environment. Pipeline
design includes special features to mitigate and withstand
shifting in permafrost areas. These features have been
successfully applied in permafrost without adverse impacts.
Potential shoreside erosion has been accounted for in the
design and placement of onshore facilities.
Since the subsea portion of Alternative 2 is substantially
shorter than the Corps' "environmentally-preferred" alterna-
tive, the volume of seabed excavation is somewhat less than
Alternative 5. Moreover, the Alternative 5 route lies entirely
outside the barrier islands where seasonal ice and oceano-
graphic conditions present additional challenges. Alternative
5 would also require a significant expansion of the West Dock

causeway, requiring the placement of about 250,000 cubic
yards of gravel.
RDC believes the benefits of Alternative 5 are out-
weighed by the increased length of the offshore pipeline and
the impacts associated with expanding West Dock. RDC also
believes new developments such as Northstar will have
minimal cumulative impact due to size reductions, waste
minimization and pollution controls.
North Slope Borough Mayor Ben Nageak noted the
borough's decision to support Northstar development was
extremely difficult because to approve it went against a long-
standing policy of not supporting offshore oil and gas devel-
opment.
BP is developing the Northstar field from Seal Island,
which is located six miles offshore. Meanwhile, the Endicott
oil field to the east of Prudhoe Bay is produced entirely
offshore from man-made islands.
Nageai< noted that BP has been operating Endicott safely
for ten years.
"As hard as it may be for some, we are forced to conclude
that this project meets our requirements." Nageak said. "We
believe BP will ensure that Northstar is a top-quality project
and will coexist with the Inupiat culture and traditions."
RDC urged the Corps to adopt Alternative 2 as its
preferred alternative for permit issuance.
New discovery may prolong life of Fort Knox mill
A new lode has been discovered near the Ft. Knox gold
mine near Fairbanks. Geologists estimate that 433,400 ounces
of gold lie beneath the Gil claims, located five miles from the
Ft. Knox mill. Additional work on the claims this summer could
confirm a larger deposit, perhaps as much as one million
ounces.
The new discovery may help prolong the life of the $350
million processing m~ll at Ft. Knox. a 4.1 million-ounce depos~
that is expected to keep the m~ll running for 12 years. Since
the deposit was discovered, geologists have found additional
reserves of 2.7 million ounces of gold to run through the mill.
A one million-ounce gold resource at Gii could add three
years of life to the Ft. Knox mill, according to mine manager
Steve Lang.
The Gil resource is not only close to the mill. it is attractive
because it averages 0.04 ounces of gold per ton -- nearly
twice as rich as Ft. Knox. There are other potential prospects
in the area that could also feed the Ft. Knox mill.

Improvements make Alaska's
Prince William Sound safer
(Continued from page 4)
Sound. Page said the remaining oil is more like "a basketball
court in an area the size of Rhode Island..."
John Wiens, a biologist at Colorado State University,
noted "it's apparent after a decade of research that many
species were not adversely affected and that recovery of
many of the other species has been relatively rapid. This may
not agree with many of the preconceptions that many of us
had when we stepped into Prince William Sound following the
oil spill. But this is what the facts indicate."
Page and Wiens and other scientists characterize their
work as objective and credible science, untainted by emotion
or environmental advocacy they say colors studies and
conclusions drawn by some scientists and activists.
"Oil spills are emotionally-wrenching events, but science
and advocacy don't mix," Wiens said.
One decade after the oil spill, marine life in Prince William Sound is
healthy. A recent study noted that many species are on the rebound.
The state-federal oil spill trustees council lists bald eagles
and river otters as completely recovered from the spill and 17
species or resources on the rebound.
No indication oil development has harmed whales
(Continued from page 1)
·, and might be the only way to keep the
"! whales from being listed an endangered.
While conceding that a co-
management agreement would be a
significant step forward,
environmentalists are pressing for
nothing less than endangered species
status for the whales. Such status would
force NMFS to monitor and more strictly
regulate virtually ali human activity in
the Inlet.
Native hunters have challenged the
method federal biologists use in count-
ing the whales, contending the decline
in population isn't as severe as federal
regulators claim. Native hunters insist
the whales are part of a larger Gulf of
Alaska population and that there are
fewer whales in the northern reaches of
the Inlet because there are fewer fish
there.
Federal scientists, however, believe
hunting is a leading suspect in the de-
cline of beluga populations in Cook
Inlet. Evidence NMFS has gathered
suggests Cook Inlet belugas are not
I mixing with others in the Bering Sea
and Arctic waters.
"The beluga population is declining
at about 15 percent a year." said Doug
DeMaster. a biologist with the National
Marine Mammal Laboratory in Seattle.
"Harvests represent about 20 percent
of the stock. And all the stock can
contribute through breeding is about 5
percent."
The MMPA has banned anyone
except Natives from hunting the whales.
While NMFS can regulate the harvest
under certain circumstances, it has been
reluctant to do so.
The Alaska Department of Natural
Resources has chosen to keep the Cook
Inlet areawide lease sale on schedule
for April 21.
"Post-sale activities are not
expected to have any significant
adverse effect on beluga whales or
their habitat," the agency wrote in its
best-interest finding for the lease sale.
That document also noted that NMFS is
conducting a status report on the
belugas. The federal agency is expected
to decide this spring on the listing of the
beluga for special protection under the
MMPA or the Endangered Species Act.
If a listing occurs, state leasing
rules still can change, according to the
best-interest finding.
"To date, we don't have any indica-
tion that oil and gas development has
caused harm or killed any belugas, lout
we have observed a redistribution north
from the middle Inlet to the nor~iqern
district in the last 20 years," said Brad
Smith, who oversees NMFS research
on whales. "That at least coincides in
time with some of the development, but
there's a lot of other factors you could
juggle in there."
Meanwhile, Representatives Gall
Phillips and Scott Ogan have introduced
a resolution in the Alaska House
requesting that NMFS and Congress
act immediately to reverse the decline
of the Cook Inlet beluga whale
population and to regulate the harvest
of the whales until the population has
recovered. The resolution also requests
that Congress provide NMFS with
adequate funding to conduct research
to acquire the information necessary to
"ensure that the Cook Inlet beluga whale
population is not placed in jeopardy,
that Alaskans dependent on the beluga
whale resource are not unnecessarily
penalized, and that associated
industries in the state are not placed at
risk."
However, the resolution warned that
listing the beluga underthe Endangered
Species Act would have significant
negative effects on the economies of
Cook Inlet. as well as the entire state of
Alaska.

Things to know... LEG SWELLING
· Most leg swelling is due to fluid accumula-
tion caused by a breakdown in the veins
over time. The blood does not return to the
heart as fast as it should.
· Swelling may be caused by varicose veins.
It can also result from problems in the
deeper veins.
· If just one leg is swollen and there is pain
and redness, thrombophlebitus (formation
of blood clots in the vein) may be present.
You should see a doctor.
· Occasionally, leg swelling indicates a heart
problem, lung disease, kidney problems, or
liver disease.
WHAT TO EXPECT...AT
THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE.
· Your doctor will examine your heart,
lungs, and legs. A blood test may be
ordered to check your kidneys and
liver.
· Your specific treatment will depend
on what medical problem, if any, is
found.
· Your doctor may prescribe a diuretic
("water pill") to help reduce the
swelling, but these have side effects.
· If home treatment works for you, it's
better to avoid medications.
HOME TREATMENT
, Exercise your legs. Working the
muscles helps pump the excess fluid
back into the veins.
· Restrict sodium (salt)
· Lie down and prop your calves up
with one or two pillows.
· Wear loose clothing. Make sure
nothing restricts the circulation in
your knees or upper legs.
, Support stockings may be worn.
These apply constant external
pressure to help reduce swelling.
