Ross, City Manager Ordinance 1825-99 As you are aware the bids received for the construction phase of the multi-purpose facility exceeded the funds available for the project. Based on sales of BOR released lands, the tax base created and interest received on the notes, the Administration had recommended funding up to $750,000 on the facility construction phase of the project. This would have kept total project cost with site work under $1 million. The low bid on the construction phase of the project came in at $1,012,000. This is well above estimate and our expectations. This could put total project cost, including site work, between $1.3 to $1.4 million, depending on additional cost of inspection and HEA. Recommendation It is the recommendation of the Administration that Council defeat Ordinance 1825-99. Unless Council directs otherwise, the Administration will not be submitting a substitute ordinance to fund the project with general fund monies above the $750,000 level. If Council accepts this recommendation, it is suggested that the future of the project could proceed along the following course: The plans developed for this project are good plans that are amenable for future expansion. We do not recommend reducing the scope of the project to a level that would result in an unsatisfactory project. The City continue its commitment to fund the project at approximately the $750,000 level in the future, based on the agreements reached when BOR lands were released Memorandum to Council April 29, 1999 Page 2 of 2 for sale as a source of funds for the project. The Borough also transferred lands to the City in support of the project. The City work with user groups to find non-municipal funding sources to supplement the existing funds to do the project. In anticipation of furore development the City proceed with the site work portion of the project. The joint site work bids received for the Challenger Learning Center, as well as this project, were lower than projected. To not do this portion of the project would further escalate costs in the furore.

Halford offered the following: Sense of the Alaska State Senate One of ~hc important functions of govumm~nl is to assis~ its citizens to better themselves through ~xany .~oci.~l and economic oppormni£ies. One basic opportunity is in economic developmenl and ~he cre~6on of jobs ~hrough new industries and expansion at' existing industries. One easy way to increase private sector business and new job opponuni~i¢.~ is m maintain a policy for state-owned and opera, ed govemmcn~ services to purchase and manufacture through Alaskan- owned business and industry. Many highly technical and experienc~:d Ala.,skan businesses are undercapacity duc to thc slowdown in petroleum industry work. These same bu.~inesses can provide ninny competitively priced services to fill needs for state-owned and operated goods and services that traditionally have gone to out of state businesses and industries. The Alaska Railroad Corporation has issued a Request for Proposed due by May 3. 1999 (99-13-'186g.~) for thc design and construction of thre~ rail bargt:s and tl~c charter and operation of tugboat service b~twe~n S~attlg and Alaska. Alaska owm:d businesses and industry have demonstrated through similar type construction projects that ti~is Alaska Railroad Corporation project can bc done on time and aa budget by using local qualifiext and pmv~n manufacturing indu.~trie.~. Not only keeping Alaska money in Alaska, bu~ mom importantly employing locally skilled labor through local job oppommities. It is the SENSE OF THE AI.ASKA SENATE, that all state-owned and operated government services utilize Alaska-owned and operated hu.~iness and industry to fill their needs tar goods and services when 04123/99 Senale Joumal Pag~ 1070 Alaska-awned business mid industry is competitive with traditic)nal outside sources. Tl~at the Alaska Railroad Corporation strongly consider using existing Alaskan-owned and operated business and industry to design and construct their three new rail barges and to provide tugboat ch,'u'ter service between Sear'tie and Alaska as rethrencad by RFP 99-13-18685. Senator Ward moved and asked unanimous consent for the adoption of the Sense of the Senate. Without objection, it was so ordered.

KENAI SENIOR CENTER CHAIR PEGGY ARNESS, PRESIDING ITEM 1: CALL TO ORDER/h ROLL CALL Chair Arness called the meeting to order at approximately 10:05 a.m. in the sun room at the Kenai Senior Center. Present were: Rosemary Wiese, Earl Jones, Betty Nelson, Joanna Hollier and Peggy Amess Absent were: Sam Huddleston, Arlene Enfield, Roger Meeks and Joyce Billings. Also present: City Clerk Carol Freas, City Council Member Linda Swarner, Senior Director Kellie Kelso, Sylvia Johnson and Ken Tyler. ITEM 2: AGENDA APPROVAL Director Kelso requested a discussion regarding petitions be added as a New Business item. There were no other changes to the agenda. There were no objections to the agenda as amended. ITEM 3: APPROVAL OF MINUTES MOTION: Wiese MOVED for approval of the minutes as presented There were no objections. SO ORDERED. Amess questioned whether a student representative had been appointed to the Council. Swamer stated she was not aware of any interest shown in such an appointment. Arness questioned whether there was still a vacancy on the Council on Aging. FreaS reported Mr. Jones had been appointed to fill the vacancy discussed at the prior Council on Aging meeting. Kelso reported, because the by-laws do not allow for an employee of the city to also be a member of the Council, Mr. Huddleston would have to resign from the Council on Aging. It was noted, persons interested in an appointment to the Council on Aging could speak to Clerk Freas or Director Kelso to make application. Freas explained, upon receiving an application, it is included in a City Council packet for their consideration and possible appointment. Hollier suggested Kelso announce the vacancy at senior lunches. COUNCIL ON AGING MEETING April 27, 1999 Page 2 Arness asked if any additional information was available regarding installation of automatic doors at the Senior Center. Kelso explained, Administration was waiting to be awarded some special funding. No decision had been made as to what type of doors would be installed, etc. It was noted, most seniors were satisfied with the current doors at the Center. ITEM 4: OLD BUSINGS Handicap-Accessible Vehicle Kelso reported a handicap-accessible vehicle bid had been awarded for a 12- passenger bus. She noted, the specifications requested a bid on three types of vehicles' a mini-van, raised roof van, and bus. Kelso added, the mini-van bid price was as expensive as the other type vehicles, due mostly to the rearranging of seats, etc. to accommodate wheelchairs. A 12-passenger, raised roof van was also bid, however when fitting it to accommodate two wheelchairs, it significantly diminished availability of other passenger seats. The bus was found to be the best choice for the amount of money and the long-term use it would have. She noted the bus would hold 12 passengers, plus two wheelchairs. The bus cost under the $45,000 available and should be delivered within two months. The only problem with the purchase was the bus would not fit under the covered entrance to the Senior Center. Options were being considered, such as extending the covered area out into the parking lot. ITEM 5: NEW BUSINESS 5a. City Survey Results -- Kelso explained the city conducted an opinion survey earlier in the year. She distributed a pa§e from the survey fmdin§s which included questions re§ardin§ the senior programs, their use and how they were rated. She noted, the question of the use of the programs did not have a very §ood response, mainly because the survey was not sent to only seniors. She noted, the hiF~hest percenta§e of the respondents rated the senior programs either excellent or good. Only one percent rated them as poor. Kelso noted, she was pleased with the results of the survey. 5b. Assisted Living Complex-- Kelso reported Leo Grasso had been working toward building an assisted living complex in Kenai, near the Senior Center. However, there had been problems in finding funding. She added, Grasso was now renewing his effort in finding funding to build a complex. Kelso noted, Grasso had been talking with Kay Branch of Division of Senior Services in Anchorage, who understands the need for such a facility in the Kenai area. COUNCIL ON AGING MEETING April 27, 1999 Page 3 Kelso added, Grasso was now discussing the possibility of building the facihty with the Kenai Natives Association, Salamatof Native Association and the Kenaitze Indian Tribe. They are still considering the property near the Center, as well as the old Fish & Wildlife building area in Old Town, Kenai. She added, the facility would be for anyone with disabilities and needing everyday assistance. Kelso noted, she was encouraged by the interest given by the state and their understanding of the need. Discussion followed regarding the assisted living facility in Homer. It was noted, because the Homer facility had problems in finding residents because it was not designed in the best way to provide the level of care needed, it was impacting funding capabilities for a Kenai facility. Kelso also reported the City of Soldotna and Frontier Services received funding to perform a feasibility study for building a similar facility in Soldoma. Information she received was Grasso was considering building a 50-unit facility which she thought may be too large. Swarner suggested the size maybe needed to be 50 units in order to get a return on the investment. Council member Nelson inquired whether long-term insurance was available for this type of long-term care. A general discussion followed in which it was suggested this type of long-term care insurance was available, however it was expensive. 5c. United Way Grant -- Kelso reported she had submitted the United Way grant and made her presentation to the board. The grant application requested $22,000. No official notification had yet been received, but indications were the funding would be received. She noted, she had entered a lower amount in her budget because she was unsure all the requested funding would be received due to the economic downturn on the Peninsula. Sd. Alaska Commission on Aging Grant -- Kelso reported she completed the grant application and would be traveling to Anchorage to make a formal presentation to request the funds in June. She added, early indications were the Legislature had not touched these grants to this point. If changes were made, it would be a major impact to the senior budget. Se. Petitions -- Kelso stated she brought this matter to the Council to request some policy direction. She explained, in the past people have come to the Center with petitions and requested signatures from the seniors. To her knowledge, there had never been any problems in allowing people to bring petitions in the past. However, recently a gentleman requested to leave a petition at the Center to acquire signatures for his concern and stated he would return in several days to pick up the petition. In reviewing the petition, Kelso stated, she found the subject of the petition to be inflammatory and decided a policy was needed in this regard. COUNCIL ON AGING MEETING April 27, 1999 Page 4 Kelso explained, she was concerned because some petition subjects may be inflammatory to some and did not want it to appear the Center endorsed a petition because it was left at the Center for signatures. She suggested a policy where petitions could be brought to the Center, however the petitioner would have to individually request signatures and not leave the petition and come back for it later. The Council discussed banning all petitions from the Center, but it was pointed out there were matters which would be appropriate and should not be kept from being brought to the seniors. Nelson noted she didn't mind being asked for her signature on a petition. She and others have the ability to decline. Consensus was to allow petitioners to be bring petitions into the facility, but people need to be asked individually for their signature. MOTION: Nelson MOVED that petitioners were welcome to bring their petitions to the Center, but the Center would not endorse a petition and the petitioner needed to stay with the petition, in the Center. Jones SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. ' ITEM 6' PERSONS WANTING TO BE HEARD Nelson suggested the residents of Vintage Pointe establish a resident association (like a Home Owners Association) to discuss concerns, ideas, etc. The idea was met with enthusiasm. Swarner suggested Kelso discuss the matter with the city attorney in order to find out how to set an association up, legalities in doing so, etc. Kelso stated she would do so and report back to the Council. Hollier suggested association meetings could meet during their monthly potlucks. Councilwoman Swarner reported the first of the budget work sessions had been held on April 26. Nothing had been cut at that point and the next work session was scheduled for May 10 at City Hall at 6'00 p.m. Nelson asked if there had been any discussion regarding the loss of bluff on the Center/Vintage Pointe property. She added, she was concerned more was about to slough off due to undercutting taking place. Discussion followed regarding concerns others had with unsupervised children stepping out on the edge of the bluff during events taking place at the Center. It was suggested signs of caution or a fence could be placed. Kelso stated she would bring the matter to the attention of the city attorney. Johnson asked if the City Council had considered having the channel dredged in order to change the direction of the current. Swarner stated it had been, however the Corps of Engineers would not do the dredging and it was cost prohibitive for the city to contract out the work. Johnson noted, the long-term costs in losing buildings COUNCIL ON AGING MEETING April 27, 1999 Page 5 would also be very high. Swarner noted the city had contracted with Nottingham, Petratrovich & Drage (engineering firm from Anchorage) to do a bluff erosion study.

ITEM B: SCHEDULED PUBLIC COMMENTS B-lo Richard DeMello -- Project Spur Presentation Mr. DeMello stated his address was 1070 Biscayne Drive, Kenai. DeMello explained he was investigating the possibility of developing a project using the Spur platform for a resource instead of being removed from the Inlet. The first phase of his project would be to develop electrical production using tidal movement for power generation; developing an electrical system to manufacture water for consumption; and development of a waste disposal system. Upon developing the first phase, a second phase of the project would be to develop a resort or casino on the top of the platform which would create a prototype and demonstrating the use of platforms as they go out of service as resources. DeMello distributed a copy of the blueprint of the platform and a drawing changes that would be made to the platform to accommodate storage, boarding rooms, showroom, restaurant, etc. He noted, the roof would be glass to enhance the look as well as use of the space for observation of northern lights, whales, etc. DeMello noted, the motive of the project was to enhance the tourist industry, demonstrate the possibility of obtain energy from the Cook Inlet and build up the tax base, which would be good for the Peninsula. He noted they removed a phase from their project to develop an aquaculture project to investigate enhancement of species of king crab, king salmon, halibut, etc. because they were advised by Fish & Game the hurdles to take on such a project were too large. DeMello added he spoke with Mayor Williams and Representative Smalley in regard to the project. Smalley was considering the development of legislation to permit an out-of-production platform to remain in the Inlet (current legislation requires platforms no longer in service to be removed). DeMello stated he also discussed the project with local Native associations who were interested in developing a resort facility. He added, he felt in developing this project, it would be unique to Alaska, drawing tourists to the area, and would demonstrate there were resources that had not been investigated. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES APRIL 21, 1999 PAGE 2 DeMello noted, if the Spur Project was developed, there could also be a project on the Spark platform for a training center for gas operation. Other ideas for uses of platforms were prisons, resorts, marine specie studies facility, etc. DeMello stated he hoped to convince council the use of the platform was a good idea and added, he was not asking for funding, but support of the concept in order to show a broader base of support to contacts they will need to make. Moore stated he believed it was an interesting idea and asked who owned the Spur platform. DeMello answered, the platform was owned by Marathon Oil and distributed a letter of support he received from the oil company. Swamer asked if a business plan had been developed. DeMello answered, a plan was being developed, but they were still making contact for clearances, etc. SWarner stated she would like administration to review the business plan before council goes forward. Frazer asked if licensing and permits were available for a casino. DeMello answered, that was being investigated. Williams suggested DeMello keep in touch in regard to the progress of the project. When the proper time arrived, council could then consider a resolution of support. Williams also noted, the platforms were in the Borough's political subdivision and permitting would have to go through the Borough. IKathy Tar~-- Kenai Visitors & Convention Bureau, Inc. -- 1998-1999 Report to the Community. Tarr referred to the 1998-1999 Report to the Community which was included in the packet. Tarr noted, the Center was in its seventh year of operation and was now the number one reason visitors came to Kenai. She noted, the Center was more than a visitors center as it emphasized the area's culture and served as an important education role to visitors as well as local schools and organizations. Tarr reviewed the events and activities to take place in the future months, noting a Get to Know Kenai program would be held on April 29 to inform local residents and employees of the area's summer activities. She also noted the Center's new website, which was on line in November, had 1,418 visits by March. Their advertisements were included in the Milepost as well as a number of publications and standard visitor guides. Tarr reported there were now six regular employees at the Center and additional seasonal help would begin again soon. She noted, they had 3,438 inquiries last year for information packets to be mailed, which was a 41% increase over 1997. She added, she believed this number would increase due to the influence of the website. Tarr added, the Center worked hard in 1998 to put Kenai on the tourist map. She noted, Kenai maintains a diverse economy and didn't have a tourist trap look and feel which was good because people want to see how the area residents live day to KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES APRIL 21, 1999 PAGE 3 day. Tarr continued, she believed the KVCC had been living up to their responsibility as it was a valuable part of Kenai's quality of life and was a steward of the city. Moore thanked Tarr for her interesting report. He requested minutes of their Board meetings to be forwarded more timely. Tarr apologized for the delay in the transcription of the minutes. She noted, she was behind in her work and would get them to the council as soon as possible. ITEM C: PUBLIC HEARINGS C-1o Ordinance No. 1815-99 -- Amending Kenai Municipal Code, Chapter 8.05.010, to Adopt the Latest Editions of the National Fire Codes and the Uniform Fire Code. MOTION: Councilman Bookey MOVED for adoption of Ordinance No. 1815-99 and Councilman Measles SECONDED the motion. There were no public comments. ordinance. Elson answered, yes. Bookey asked Chief Elson if he agreed with the VOTE: Bookey: Yes Measles: Yes Williams: Yes Swarner: Yes Moore: Yes Bannock: Yes Frazer: Yes MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. C-2o Ordinance No. 1816-99 -- Finding that Certain City-Owned Land Described as that Portion of the West ¥~_ Southeast V4, Southeast V4 and the East ½ Southwest V4, Southeast Y4, Section 33, Township 6 North, Range 11 West, Seward Meridian, Alaska, Is Not Required for a Public Purpose for the City of Kenai and Can Be Donated to the Kenai Peninsula Borough. MOTION: Councilman Bannock MOVED for adoption of Ordinance No. 1816-99 and Councilman Measles SECONDED the motion. There were no public comments. Williams explained, the described property was the grounds on which the Kenai Central High School was situated. He noted, when the KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES APRIL 21, 1999 PAGE 4 Borough was established, the schools were transferred to the Borough. It was found recently, the property had not been transferred. The ordinance would correct that omission. VOTE: Bookey: Yes Measles: Yes Williams' Yes Swamer: Yes Moore: Yes Bannock: Yes Frazer: Yes MOTION PASSED UN~~OUSLY. C-3o Ordinance No. 1817-99 -- Amending KMC 14.20.185 by Adding a Section Which Would Provide for an Administrative Exemption for Encroachments of Up to a Total of Twelve (12) Inches. MOTION: Councilman Bannock MOVED for adoption of Ordinance No. 1817-99 and Councilman Bookey SECONDED the motion. There were no public comments. Bannock reported the Planning & Zoning Commission had no additional comments in regard to the ordinance. Swarner stated she would not support the ordinance because she felt the current code was working well in dealing with encroachments. Williams stated he believed the objective of the ordinance was to make the process easier for administration and the general public. City Engineer La Shot stated he and the Building Official believed, with this change in the code, minor concerns would be able to be dealt with easier. He added, problems with encroachments were not always intentional and they believed the code change would ease the process for the public and administration. Moore asked if an adjacent property owner would have any recourse if a property owner is granted an exemption without a public hearing. Bannock answered, every decision made by administration would be subject to an appeal to the Board of Adjustment or the judicial system (after the appeal to the Board of Adjustment, depending on the outcome of the appeal). Moore asked if the adjacent property owner would be notified the exemption was going to be given administratively. La Shot answered, not the way the amendment was written. Bookey stated he was concerned this ordinance would eliminate an adjoining property owner to have any recourse because they would not receive any notification of the filing or the exemption. Williams asked if council wanted to recommend a sentence be added to the ordinance stating the administration would notify adjoining property owners of the administrative decision to allow an encroachment. Bookey stated, he believed something would need to be done because he would not support the ordinance as it was written. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES APRIL 21, 1999 PAGE 5 Bannock stated, notification would defeat the purpose of having the administrative exemption. He added, if council did not want to give administration the authority to make an exemption, council should vote the ordinance down. Bannock added, the ordinance was not allowing a drastic departure from the norm because the Commission reviews many issues that would fall under this ordinance. The ordinance was developed to speed the process and eliminate the $100 fee. 13ookey asked if a property owner is given an exemption for five inches, would it impact the future construction of a building on the adjacent lot. Williams noted, the owner of the adjacent property would have the same ability to request a five-inch exemption as the other proper~ owner. Moore asked who of the administration would have the authority to grant the exemption. He noted, this was a question l~rought forward by Councilman Measles at the last council meeting. W~!!iams noted, if administration was not wanting to make an exemption, the question could be taken to the Planning & Zoning Commission. He added, the issue was how to be assured any official in the future would be sufficiently honest to ensure there would be no conflict in granting an exemption. Frazer asked if an administrative exemption like this would be in the same vein as a building inspector deciding whether a structure is within the code, etc. It would be the same official granting the exemption. Ross stated, it was his understanding the administrative exemption could be used when the as-built showed there was a problem. He added, these would not be exemptions done in advance. Ross noted, the owner could be waiting up to six weeks for an exemption when the exemption would be for only a few inches. Bannock stated Ross was correct and asked Attorney Graves to read KMC 14.25.085(d). He added, an encroachment solves financing problems. Graves read, "...The Planning Department shall submit the application of the Planning Commission for review and public hearing. The Planning Commission shall establish a finding that all the conditions set forth in subsections 1 though 4 of this section have been found to exist before issuing an encroachment permit. One, that an encroachment as defined in KMC 14.20.125(a) exists; two, that the encroachment does not encroach upon a federal, state or city right-of-way or utility easement; three, the issuance of the encroachment permit will not authorize a use which is not a principle permitted use in the zoning district in which the property is located; or four, the encroachment is not located across a platted lot line." Graves added, the term administrative official was used in the ordinance because it was a term of art in the code, i.e. a defined term, meaning the person charged with administration and enforcement of the chapter. He added, it was basically the person the city manager designated with enforcement of the Planning & Zoning law. Currently, it was the building inspector. ~NAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES APRIL 21, 1999 PAGE 6 Barry Eldridge -- 2679 Bowpicker Lane, Kenai. Eldridge stated he recently had to request an encroachment for a Habitat for Humanity house which was not lined up as originally desired. The encroachment was 1.2 inches toward the street. They paid the fee and went before Planning & Zoning and the encroachment was granted. Eldridge stated, it seemed to be a lot of burden on the homeowner for an umntentional error. He believed the ordinance satisfied the needs and noted, an encroachment would not be able to be more than six inches on a side setback and 12" on a front setback. Eldridge added, he didn't think neighbors would have a concern about so small an encroachment. Moore stated he would support the administrative exemption if the neighbors were notified about the exemption. MOTION TO AMEND: Councilman Moore MOVED to add a requirement that the adjoining property owner be notified of the granting of the administrative exemption. THERE WAS NO SECOND. Ross asked Graves if an administrative remedy could be conditioned on consent knowing if it was not received, the applicant would have to apply to the Commission for the exemption. Graves answered, neighbors could not be offered veto powers of zoning. He offered suggested language, "The Administrative OfficE, after notifying adjoining property owners, may grant an encroachment permit without a public hearing..." Moore stated, he didn't want the neighbor to have veto power, but wanted the neighbor to know at the time of the application for exemption to go to the building official or council and object to the exemption. Ross asked, if the neighbor is opposed, what would be the opposing neighbors' remedy. Measles stated, he would rather put the burden on the applicant and not on the administration, i.e. if an applicant wants an administrative decision on an encroachment, the applicant would need to bring a letter from each of the neighbors who would be affected by the encroachment, either agreeing to the exemption or disagreeing to it. He added, if there was not agreement of all the neighbors, the exemption could not be issued and the matter would go to the Commission for consideration and go through the normal process. Measles added, the problem he had with the ordinance was that it would make it too easy and would take away a lot of incentive for a builder to be careful during the initial construction. Ross asked if council would prefer to table the ordinance and have the attorney rework the wording. MOTION TO TABLE: Councilman Measles MOVED to table Ordinance No. 1817-99 and Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. ~NAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES APRIL 21, 1999 PAGE 7 Williams suggested Ordinance No. 1818-99 also be tabled for rewrite. Ordinance No. 1818-99 -- Amending the Development Requirements Table of KMC Title 14 by Adding a Provision for an Administrative Exemption for a Reduction of Up to a Total of Twelve (12) Inches From the Setback Requirements. MOTION: Councilman Measles MOVED for adoption of Ordinance 1818-99 and Councilman Moore SECONDED the motion. There were no public comments. Measles stated he had more concern with this ordinance because of the lack of notification to adjacent property owners when an administrative exemption is being considered. He added, neighbors should be notified, either by letter or Planning & Zoning process, if administration was going to allow a building to be built larger than allowed by code. MOTION TO TABLE: Councilwoman Swarner MOVED to table Ordinance No. 1818-99 and Councilman Bookey S~ONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDE~D. C-.5o Ordinance 1819-99 -- Finding that Certain City-Owned Lands, Described as Six Lots in Salty Dog Heights Subdivision Located in Sterling, Are Not Required for a Public Purpose. MOTION: Councilman Measles MOVED for adoption of Ordinance No. 1819-99 and Councilman Bookey SECONDED the motion. There were no public comments. Ross noted, the properties were in Sterling and would be offered in the next public land sale. He also noted, the properties did not have access to the Kenai River and they were a fair distance in from the highway. VOTE: Bookey: Yes Swamer: Yes Moore: Yes Measles: Yes Bannock: Yes Frazer: Yes Williams: Yes MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES APRIL 21, 1999 PAGE 8 Ordinanc~ No, 1820-99 -- Increasing Estimated Revenues and Appropriations by $114,000 for the South Spruce Street Parking Project. (At the 4 / 7 / 99 council meeting, Ordinance No. 1820-99 was removed from the consent agenda for introduction. In preparing the minutes of the 4/7/99 meeting, it was found no vote was taken on the introduction of Ordinance No. 1820-99. Though it was apparent council agreed to go forward with the introduction of the ordinance, no vote was taken.) C-6a. Motion for Introduction MOTION: Councilman Measles MOVED for introduction of Ordinance No. 1820-99 and Councilman Bookey SECONDED the motion. Robert Ruffner -- 38610 Lakeside, Kenai. Ruffner explained he was speaking to the ordinance on behalf of the Kenai Watershed Forum where he was employed full-time as its project coordinator. He noted part of the responsibilities of the Watershed Forum was to monitor water quality of approximately 12 tributaries to the Kenai River and which the parking lot project had some impact to one of those tributaries. He added, the Forum was not an advocacy organization and didn't normally take stands. The Forum was not opposed to the ordinance and recognized the wetland loss that would happen for the parking facility and the expansion opportunity for the sewer treatment plant. However, they were concerned about the wetland loss because of the impact it would have on the slough feeding into the no-name creek. He explained, through monitoring and use of a minnow trap they learned there were cohoe, king and sockeye salmon in the creek. Ruffner noted, the stream had value whether or not there was fish in it. The value was for use as a learning tool for local schools, learning about the habitat in the city. He believed the stream could be eligible for grants in the future for rehabilitation. He noted he had received calls from school teachers who wanted to work on projects such as this. Ruffner added, he spoke with the Kenai River Center and they stated the city had been doing a very good job over the last years in working with the regulatory groups, etc. He commended the council and mayor for taking pro-active steps through a position on the KRSMA Board, redesigning this project to avoid having runoff go into the creek, etc. He hoped the city would continue to apply the same philosophy as was used in protecting the dunes, etc. would continue in protecting the stream. Moore stated it was exciting to hear of the smolt in the stream. He asked if they were rearing in the stream. Ruffner stated it was not known whether the smolt migrated beyond the culverts. He added, if they would do some rehabilitation work on the stream, that would be one of the first questions addressed. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES APRIL 21, 1999 PAGE 9 Williams stated he had been waiting a long time to hear of the possibility rehabilitation work may be done on the no-name creek. He noted, in the past a rehabilitation program had been designed for that area including trails, interpretative signage, and rehabilitation of the creek. Williams added, he was pleased to hear there may be grant monies available and he believed council would be in support of Ruffner receiving grant monies for rehabilitation of the creek. Ruffner stated he felt confident funds would be available. Ltz Burke -- Teacher at Kenai Central High School. Burke stated she supported Ruffner from an educational point of view because the creek was important to a number of teachers due to its close proximity to the high school and because students could be taken to the area for study. She noted, she recently learned she had been awarded an Alaska Science & Technology Grant to purchase supplies for the high school to begin doing preliminary data gathering on the stream. Burke stated, there was a possibility her students could do some chemistl~ and watershed analysis of the area. She added, her students were excited to know they would be able to do the analysis project and had already done some clean-up work. She encouraged council's support in keeping the stream in a good condition and place where it could be used for educational purposes. VOTE: Councilman Measles requested UNAN~OUS CONSENT. SO O RD ERED. There were no objections. C-6b. Motion for Second Reading {Requires a Unanimous Vote[ MOTION: Councilman Measles MOVED for the second reading and Councilman Bookey SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. C-60. Motion for Adoption MOTION: Councilman Measles MOVED for adoption of Ordinance No. 1820-99 and Councilman Bannock SECONDED the motion. Swarner stated she did not know whether this would be the best use of the city's funds when considering the recent decision of the Legislature to delete or diminish municipal assistance and revenue sharing. She added, she understood the permits would expire in November, but viewed it as helping those people participating in the dip net fishery. Swarner stated she would oppose the ordinance. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES APRIL 21, 1999 PAGE 10 Measles stated he believed the enlarging of the parking area would eliminate the safety hazard found, during dip net season, from particip~ts parking on both sides of the street. Moore noted, he had concerns for the enlargement of the parking area due to the information given to council from Mr. Ruffner. He suggested parking on the street could be eliminated. Williams stated he considered the parking area an "unfunded mandate" due to the state giving the bulk of the dip net fishery to the city. He noted, the Board finally did change some of the regulation as to where dip netting was allowed. Williams added, there was no indication by the Board of Fisheries that they would modify the dip net fishery to anything different. However, the fishery could grow. Williams noted the fishery was now infringing on the city's rights to patrol its streets, time and effort of the police and ambulance services to patrol and aid where needed. However, he felt the city had the responsibility of taking care of the situation the best that it could. Williams stated he would support the ordinance. Measles suggested that if the parking would be eliminated, it would increase the people going over the bluff to access the beach, which would bring more problems. Bookey stated he would support the ordinance, but wanted to maintain the levels of enforcement as the city had last summer. VOTE: Bookey: Yes Swamer: No Moore: No Measles: Yes Bannock: Yes Frazer: Yes Williams: Yes MOTION PASSED. Williams noted, more of the bluff sloughed off during winter storms. He noted, at the end of Willow Street, the bluff edge was now only five feet from the comer of the Glad Realty building and only three feet from a four-plex next door to the realty building. He urged, a plan needed to be made', along with the acquisition of $5-7.5 million to carry out the plan. BREAK TAKEN: 8:30 P.M. BACK TO ORDER: 8:45 P.M. At the end of the break it was noted, this was the last council meeting Emily DeForest would be attending as the city's Director of the Library. It was noted, during her 25+ years of service as a city employee, DeForest had received approximately 710 packets, which included untold reams of paper, and she used an unknown amount of skeins of yard used to crochet and knit during the meetings. Williams thanked DeForest for her dedicated service to the City of Kenai. Kathy Tarr thanked DeForest for her dedication as well and added, she felt the Kenai Community Library was the best. Tarr also stated she would miss seeing DeForest at the library and urged DeForest to volunteer at the KVCC.

Popp stated a written approval had been forwarded from NASA and the Challenger administration was comfortable with the bid. Williams reported he attended the bid opening and noted three of the bidders were within $13,000 of each other and were all well-known to the city as contractors. He added, he was also pleased to see the bid to be awarded was under the engineer's estimate. City Engineer La Shot noted, construction could begin'within the next two weeks. Councilman Frazer stated he had a conflict of interest and wished to abstain from the vote on the matter. Williams asked Frazer if he would profit personally from the award of the bid to ,Jackson Construction. Frazer answered, not directly, but very close.

Resolution No. 99-25 -- Transferring $3,150.00 in the General Fund for City Hall and Public Safety Building Telephone System Software Upgrades. MOTION: Councilman Moore MOVED for approval of Resolution No. 99-25 and Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion. There were no public comments. Moore stated he found it interesting PTI Would not guarantee the system was Y2K compliant. Ross explained, the city requested a proposal to change out the phone systems in city hall and the Public Safety building. PTI represented the upgrade to the systems as the least expensive of the options, noting replacements of both systems would have been approximately $80,000. He added, the software had been tested for Y2K compliance and was offered to upgrade to be Y2K compliant, however, their lawyers would not allow it to be called Y2K compliant. Ross added, the salesperson represented the upgrade would work. A general discussion followed. Ross noted the Public Safety system was approximately ten years old. Finance Director Semmens noted this was the first time he had dealt with a vendor who would not guarantee their software was Y2K compliant. Moore stated he was leery of the reluctance to acknowledge the Y2K compliance. Ross noted, there was a change in ownership of the company taking place and that could be why the lawyers did not want to guarantee the software's compliance. Frazer suggested it could also have something to do with the company's insurance coverage. Williams asked Chief Morris if there was a total failure of the city system on December 31, 1999 would it have an affect on the 911 system. Morris answered, the primary residence of the 911 software was at the Alaska Troopers Headquarters and would be Y2K compliant. How the PTI software would work would be in-house and affect only the city phone system. He noted, if the city's system failed, there would still be radio and cell phone contact available. Measles questioned whether PTI tested the city's system. Ross answered no and added, when testing other equipment, the software was used and depending on the bios of some systems, the software worked and for others, it didn't. Those systems where the software didn't work, the systems were unable to come back on line. Because of those failures, he did not want them to test the city's system. VOTE: There were no objections. SO ORDERED. C-17. Resolution No. 99-26 -- Awarding a $342,974 Contract to Yukon Equipment, Inc. for a Multipurpose Sweeper for the Airport.

D-2o Airport Commission Measles reported the minutes of the meeting were included in the packet. He noted he was not able to attend the meeting and Councilman Bannock attended for him. Bannock reported a request for a Special Use Permit for lease of counter space in the airport terminal had been recommended for approval by the Commission. He noted the item was included on this council meeting agenda. Bannock also noted it was reported the airport personnel was teaming with the ARFF to have a booth at the Alaska State Aviation Conference and Trade Show. D-3o Harbor Commission Bookey reported a meeting of the Commission was held on April 12 and the minutes of the meeting were included in the packet. He added, the main discussion of the 'meeting was a request made by Paul Dale of Snug Harbor Seafoods (who lost the bid on Crane No. 3) for a non-exclusive lease, on a first-come-first-served basis for Crane No. 1. A motion was passed to recommend a legal review of the request and to have administration develop a lease if it was legally appropriate. Ross reported administration was proceeding with a non-exclusive lease for Crane No. 1. He noted, Crane No. 1 is the crane made available to the public. Ross continued, the offer was for $8,000, the same unit price per pound as the other two leases (lessee would pay the $8,000 for the first 13,000 pounds). He noted, there could be a management control problem, but since Crane No. 1 only made $75.00 last year administration, felt it was a good opportunity to help the dock fund. Ross stated, the lease agreement would proceed. ~NAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES APRIL 21, 1999 PAGE 17 Bookey also reported a discussion was held on the Kenai Coastal Trail project as well as an update on the Cunnmgham Park project. 9-4. Library Commission Moore invited council and library patrons to attend a potluck on Thursday (bringing a dish to share) in honor of Emily DeForest's retirement and to meet the new librarian. 9-5, Parks & Recreation Commission Frazer reported the minutes of the meeting were included in the packet.

Planning/h Zoning Commission Bannock reported the minutes of the April 14 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting were included in the packet. Bannock reviewed actions taken at the meeting, noting a variance permit for a minimum lot size was granted with a note attached to the plat stating if sold, that lot and an adjoining lot would be sold as one property. Also, a conditional use permit was approved for a welding business. 9-7, D-7a. Miscellaneous Commissions and Committees Beautification Committee Swarner reported the next meeting was scheduled for May 11. She also noted a presentation would be made at the Cook Inlet Aquaculture building regarding perennials. Historic District Board Moore reported a meeting was scheduled for April 19, however no quorum was present. A work session was held at which time the Board discussed the Fish & Wildlife buildings in Old Town which were recently transferred to the Kenai Natives Association, Inc. He noted, the Board was interested in pursuing use of the building for possible exhibition use. D-7c. Kenai Visitors/h Convention Bureau Board -- No report. D-Td. Alaska Municipal LeaEue Report Williams reported he was not sure of what decision would be made regarding municipal assistance and revenue sharing or what amounts would be distributed, if any. Ross added, there was legislative action to try to fund at least a portion of the money. He suggested council review the Water/Sewer, Dock, Senior Center, KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES APRIL 21, 1999 PAGE 18 Fiduciary, etc. funds at their work session on April 26 and wait to review the General Fund last. Ross added, he hoped by the time council was ready to review the General Fund, some knowledge of what to expect in regard to the municipal assistance and revenue sharing would be received. ITEM E: MINUTES ,, Regular Meeting of April 7, 1999. Approved by consent agenda. ITEM F: CORRESPONDENCE-- None. ITEM G: OLD BUSINGS-- None. ITEM H: NEW BUSINESS H-Xo Bills to be Paid, Bills to be Ratified MOTION: Councilman Measles MOVED to pay the bills. There were no objections. ORDERED. SO Purchase Orders Exceeding $2,500 MOTION: Councilman Measles MOVED to approve the purchase orders exceeding $2,5000 using the list placed on the table in lieu of the one in the packet. Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion. Bookey questioned the remodeling of the old animal shelter because he thought the building wasn't good for anything but storage. He was concerned personnel would be using the building again and was not comfortable in doing that. He asked what the city would save in using the building. Ross explained, the dog kennels would be removed from the outside of the building and the walls would then be sealed. He added, after speaking with Animal Control Officer Godek about the chemicals used for cleaning the shelter and exposure to' those chemicals for personnel, he believed it would be safe to use the building. He noted, the Parks crews would use the building for some storage and as a staging area for their summer work projects. He added, if council had no other use for the KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES APRIL 21, 1999 PAGE 19 property on which the building exists for the next five years, he felt this would be good use of the building. However, if the building is left standing for this use, the roof would need improvements. Swarner stated she was not comfortable investing the dollars into the building, but would support the effort because where and how the crews had to stage their projects in the past was not satisfactory. Bookey asked if the building would be disinfected so there would be no problem. Ross stated, Godek had assured him that had been done, adding Godek believed he was the only person who had allergic reactions to the chemicals used. Bannock stated he would support the project because Parks & Recreation were in need of the space. However, he found it a terrible irony that last year council was told the building could not be used as an animal shelter. Ross noted, the areas of the building that were unusable as a shelter would be removed. VOTE: There were no objections. SO ORDERED. Ordinance No. 1823-99 -- Increasing Estimated Revenues and Appropriations by $246,069 for Street Improvements. Introduced by consent agenda. Ordinance No. 1824-99 -- Increasing Estimated Revenues and Appropriations by $142,000 for the Purchase of Land for the Kenai Public Health Center. Introduced by consent agenda.

Approval-- Special Use Permit/Alaska DiE-A-Car, Inc., d/b/a/Payless Car Rental -- Car Rental Counter Space No. 14, Kenai Airport Terminal. Ross noted, discussion of the matter was included in the Airport Commission meeting minutes and they were included in the packet. Councilman Bannock reported he attended the Airport Commission meeting when the matter was discussed and the permit was given unanimous approval by the Commission. He KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES APRIL 21, 1999 PAGE 20 noted, Alaska DiE-A-Car wanted to rent the vacant car rental counter space {southern end) in the airport terminal. Bannock added, the lease terms were consistent with the other car rental leases. Jerry Vitale-- Alaska DiE-A-Car, inc., d/b/a Payless Car Rental. Vitale noted several benefits to their leasing the car rental space: additional revenues; more business to the city through the airport; increase revenues via rentals and gross receipts; hiring of two employees; helping the consumer; and helping the appearance of the rental space area. MOTION: Councilman Measles MOVED for approval of the special use permit to Alaska Dial-A- Car, Inc., d/b/a/Payless Car Rental for Car Rental Counter Space No. 14, Kenai Airport Terminal. Councilman Bannock SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. H-7o Approval -- Purchase of City-Owned Property/Will & Becky Jahrig - Lot 5, Walkowski-Deland Subdivision. Ross explained Will Jahrig requested to purchase the referenced property as he was the adjacent property owner. Ross referred to information included in the packet which included past correspondence, council discussions, and appraisal information. He noted, Jahrig again contacted the city (1998) to purchase the property. Appraisals were ordered and Jahrig made a cash offering. Ross added, the property was an irregular shape and it was his recommendation the city dispose of the property. MOTION: Councilman Bannock MOVED to approve the sale of Lot 5, Walkowski-Deland Subdivision to Will Jahrig for the cash price of $6,500. Councilman Bookey SECONDED the motion. Councilman Moore inquired whether there were any other interested buyers in the audience. There was no response. VOTE: There were no objections. SO ORDERED. H-8o H-8a. H-8b.

MOTION: Councilman Bookey MOVED for approval of the Assignment of Lease from Wedge Energy Group, L.L.C. to Robert J. Johnson and the Security Assignment of Lease from Robert J. Johnson to First National Bank of Anchorage. Councilman Measles SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. Approval-- Amending Use of Lease -- Lot 6A, Block 1, Gusty Subdivision No. 4 -- Calvin & Nancy Gourley, d/b/a Groomingdales -- From Video Sales Store to Retail Business and Professional Offices. Ross explained the amendment to the lease would clean up the language as the original lease restricted the use of the property to a video store. The new wording would allow retail business and professional offices. Nancy Gourley-- 507 Ash Street, Kenai. Gourley requested to access the driveway of the property from Corral Street. Ross stated he was not prepared to answer the question and suggested she discuss the matter with City Engineer Jack La Shot. La Shot would then make a recommendation. MOTION: Councilman Moore MOVED for approval of the amendment to the lease for Lot 6A, Bllock 1, Gusty Subdivision No. 4 to Calvin & Nancy Gourley, d/b/a Groomingdales from video sales store to retail business and professional offices.

He noted, a budget work session had been scheduled for May 17 and the introduction of the budget was scheduled for May 19. He asked that council check their calendars to be sure a quorum would be available for the May 19 meeting. Williams also reported he saw a video regarding a new type of reciprocating engine which the maker was wanting to license and find someone in Alaska to manufacture.

KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES APRIL 21, 1999 PAGE 22 I-3o I-4o Ce Williams reported he would be meeting with a party interested in a public/private partnership to further develop the multi-use facility. He noted, if the party invested 2 ! 3 of the cost, it would want to manage the building. City Manager Rail Barge Construction -- Ross referred to the draft resolution added to the agenda at the beginning of the meeting. He explained, the Alaska Railroad Corporation issued a request for proposal for the design and construction of three raft barges. Because Alaska Petroleum Contractors, Inc. {APC) (of Nikiski) had the ability to do the work, the resolution was written in their support, i.e. requesting the Alaska Railroad Corporation to consider the hire of an Alaska company to do the work. Ross requested council review the resolution and offer any changes they believed it required. He would then bring the resolution forward for consideration at the May 5 meeting. In the meantime, he suggested a letter of support be signed by all the council and sent to the Railroad with a copy of the letter going with a delegation of representatives who would be meeting with a shipbuilder in Seattle to show them the communities' support of the project to stay in Alaska. Ross noted, the letter would be prepared and ready for council's signature at.the budget work session scheduled for April 26. Ross added, Representative Phillips submitted a bill to the Legislature for consideration and the Chamber of C°mmerce passed their own resolution. It was hoped a part of the business would be awarded to APC. Council had no objection to the resolution or submitting a letter of support. Attorney (Settlement of McLane Bankruptcy Claims) McLane Litigation -- Attorney Graves reported a proposal to resolve the McLane litigation had been submitted. He explained, the city would receive 129 lots in Inlet Woods owned by MSM Partnership and a 60% share in the bankruptcy pot, which consisted of non-exempt assets to be sold minus administrative expenses. He added, if council agreed, he would notify the bank and Attorney Haggart who would then notify the Trustees the two major creditors had agreed to a settlement. Graves noted, the bank and Haggert were confident the Trustees would approve the compromise and proceed with liquidating the estate. Council had no objections to the proposal. City Clerk KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES APRIL 21, 1999 PAGE 23 a, Kenai River Festival -- Clerk Freas reported a letter was included in the packet from the Kenai River Festival who were requesting a donation from council in support of the Festival's activities.

Freas added, she was told by Mrs. Measles at the Chamber, it was believed these receipts included all the costs expected to be reimbursed by the city. The amount of the reimbursement was $2,219.92.

He added,, he met with the contractor and they planned to shut down the well and use Wellhouse No. 2 again which will have some coloration in the water for approximately two weeks. Komelis explained they believed tanens in the water were blocking the screen. Kraxberger suggested using some material to bring the blockage through the screen and then dispose of it. The screens would also be cleaned. They will then begin a maintenance program to diminish future problems. I-7. Airport Manager-- No report. ITEM J: DISCUSSION J-1. Citizens Marion Nelson -- Reported the carnival would be at the Kmart parking lot on May 20. Bob Peters -- Asked for clarification that discussion regarding the "hockey rink" was the multipurpose facility. Answer was yes. Brian Hoisington -- Kenai Little League. Reported discussion took place at the last Little League Board meeting of how the League could help the city in coveting costs to maintain the Little League Fields. It was suggested the League rent the property from the city and be responsible for the maintenance of the fields. Funds normally included in the yearly budget for upkeep of the field (approximately $8,000) could be granted to the League instead for their use in maintaining the property (possibly hire a contractor, etc.). Will/ams noted he had discussed the League's concerns with administration and there were issues to investigate because the property was originally BOR land and could have restrictions regarding leasing and liabilities. Ross requested a meeting with Hoisington. Hoisington stated he and other League members would be developing a cost proposal for the repairs needed. Ross noted, he would put the information received regarding the BOR concerns and costs for repairs together for the League to review and make a proposal for administration to review. J-2. Council · Bookey -- Congratulated Emily DeForest on her retirement and wished her the best of luck. Swarner -- Also congratulated DeForest and noted, DeForest inspired her to run for council. Swamer also questioned whether the bathroom situation at the Little League Field had been investigated. Ross answered, Building Official Springer was checking on the plumbing and electrical concerns. It was his understanding the plumbing and KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES APRIL 21, 1999 PAGE 25 electrical work had been done by volunteers. Ross added, the safety issues would be addressed either by shutting the electrical off or bringing it to code, before any other arrangements are considered. Swarner requested council to consider paying for port-a-potties at the fields for the summer during review of the Parks & Recreation Department budget. Swamer noted, the summer theme for the Beautification Committee was decided as "Blooming with Pride in Kenai." Moore -- Thanked DeForest for her years of service and wished her good luck. Moore also stated his concern that if the electrical was cut off at the Little League Field, it would cut off the League's major source of funding from the Snack Shack. Ross explained, there were underground burials going to the mound(si and those would be cut off. The Snack Shack would not be impacted. Hoisington noted there were some electrical lines placed in Fields One and Two which were not to code. He added, the League preferred they be removed and shut off. He added, there were also potential problems at the batting cages which was work done by volunteers. Ross explained, as a result of Hoisington's testimony at the previous council meeting, buildings, etc. at the fields had been checked and repairs were being planned. Moore also reported he had been approached by a group of citizens living in the VIP Subdivision who stated their interest in having city water connections. He noted, HEA would be replacing utilities in the subdivision and the citizenry believed there would be a cost savings if the work was done at the same time. Measles -- Reported he would be out-of-town from May 12 through June 2. He noted, he too would be not be in attendance for introduction of the budget ordinance. Bannock -- Thanked DeForest for her years of service to the city and wished her good luck in her future endeavors. Bannock also noted the railroad project would be an enormous project for the area at $30 million in construction and work for 200 people over several years. He added, he believed the council should do everything it could to get a portion of the project award to APC. Williams -- Thanked DeForest for her years of service to the city. EXECUTIVE SESSION- Inlet Woods Bankruptcy Litigation, if necessary -- no executive session was held.

Last week. over 1 O0 municipal officials from every comer of tim state met in Jtmeau to ask the Legislature to restore municipal revenue sharing and o~].~er municipal programs. Due to all of your efforts, many legislators are working to find a way to restore the massive cuts to revenue sharing. Many legislators did not fully realize the importance of revenue sharing to their communities, loca~ taxes, and local services. There is now growing support among legislators to re:;tore revenue sharing i_f you organize a final community effort this week to let the LegisIature know the impacts on your community. Activities recommended by the ACoM and AML include: 1. Letters from businqs, s..leaders .and cpmmunity mem'bers to their .legislators. Skyrocketing property taxes will have a deep negative impact on local businesses and property owners. In addition to the elimination of revenue sharing, some Legislators also envision transferring state services to municipalities; from state roads to courts. A number of municipalities are writing letters to businesses and large property owners detailing the impacts of pa.st and future culs, and asking them to contaat their Legislators. Also, direct telephone calls to business leaders to ask for their help in contacting legislators is recommended. Legislt.tors favoringy0ur cause stronalv su_~g_ est a_lar.~.e .ntlmber of letters and c~ls to legislators this week to keepthe issue before them. 2, _C_o~tinuet0 educate the public, so far you have dor..e more to educate your communities than ever before. This week any additional wi~rk (radio, television, newspaper, speaking to groups, ere) will keep the issue before fl~e public. Also, the AML Board of Directors has authorizexi an additional $15,000 to nm print and radio ads statewide to support your position, and also invites municipalities to consider sending AML additional funds for ads. Thank you. Call Kevin or Julie at 586-1325 if you need information or assistance. Member of the National League of Cities and the National Ass~)ciation of Counties MAY-OZ-g9 Zl'ZO From:ALASKAMUNIClPAL LEAGUE 907453~i480 T-EZO P.OZ/OZ Job-839 A Resolution of the Alaska Conference of Mayors and the Alaska Municipal League Board of Directors Urging the Legislature to Restore Equitable State Support to Municipalities and Local Taxpayers Whereas, revenue sharing is not a unique Alaskan oil boom progrm~. Revenue slanting was established in 1969, and was a higher proportion of thc stale budget in 1969 than it is now. In 1969, even with very limited state revenues, Legisla,~ors approved a revenue sharing program for local taxpayers and critical local services. Whereas, all 50 states also share state revenues wi~ municipalities. This is a basic fimction of state government in the United States. Whereas, local taxpayers already pay tho largest share of th,a eo=t of state and local public services ~u Alaska. According to audited municipal b~[gets, local taxes and fees now total well over $1.5 billion per year, second only to earnin?,s oft he Alaska Permanent Fund. Revenues from local taxes and fees now exceed oil revenues. Whereas, severely reducing Revenue Sharing Programs does not equitably or fairly "slmre the pain" of cutting the state budget because the state operating budget (not including the eltm__~nation of revenue sharing) increases this year, while municipal government budgets are cut 5% to 60%, with the poorest coxnmunit~es being hit the hardest. Whereas, eliminating or severely reducing revenue sharing do._.~es_ force local governments to raise taxes, or cut key services. According to DCRA audited municipal budgets, 96 percent of ali municipal budgets are spent on Schools, Roaqs, Public Works and Facilities, and Public Health and Safety. By elimination of 5 % to 60% of local government operating budgets the Legislature would force reductions in key local public services or higher local taxes. Whereas, some members of the public said cut the State budget, but the public is calling for more and better municipal services. Municipal budgets are l~rgely spent on Schools, Roads, Public Works and Facilities, and Public Healfl~ and Safety. Very few Alaskans have suggested cutting these critical basic services. Now therefore be it resolved that the Legislature is url~,ed to limit reductions to revenue sharing, and other municipal programs, to :so more than the same percentage of reductiOns the legislature makes to thc :~tate operating budget as a whole.

Ross, City Manager ~ Robert J. Frates, Parks & Recreation Director~./, DATE: April 26, 1999 gE Little League/Adult Softball Field Maintenance Attached are some figures representing 1998 expenditures and labor for both the Kenai Little Fields and our Adult Softball Fields. It is important to note that Little League begins mid May and ends late June, with exception to All-Stars. The American Legion occasionally uses the Senior League Field through July. Adult Softball begins late May and runs through August. A bulk of the hours spent on the Little League Fields during late August and September represent non-routine maintenance (field improvements). The Senior League Field was concentrated on during that time. Moreover, the two Little League Fields were being targeted for this season. As for expenditures, a batter's box was purchased for one Adult Softball Field last season. Otherwise, comparatively speaking expenditures for both complexes were similar. 0 TED STEVENS. ALASKA.

Freas City Clerk City of Kenai 210 Fidal~o Avenue Suite 200 Kenai, Alaska 99611 Dear Carol- Thank you for and Reinvestment your comments. contactin~ my office re~ardin~ the Act of 1999. I appreciate the chance Conservation to review This bill, S.25, was introduced by Senator Landrieu on January 19 and would direct a portion of revenues generated from oil and gas production on the outer continental shelf (OCS) to the coastal states impacted by development. Specifically, it would provide one-half of OCS revenues for coastal state communities, state park, recreation and wildlife conservation programs, and federal land acquisition. This legislation has been referred to the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, where hearings were held on January 27. While it is my general policy not to take a stance on a bill while it is still under consideration by a committee, I will be sure to monitor the development of this legislation since it could have an impact on our state, as Alaska is one of the primary states affected by OCS activities. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts.
