Wo rki ng. Agreem en t
City of Kenai and the Kenai Watershed Formn-
The Kenai Watershed Forum (KWF) proposes to coordinate an cffort to promote public
awareness of storm drain issues in the Kenai River Watershed. This. agreement is specific
to the City of Kenai, although we have a similar atg, eement with the City of Soldotna and
will be approaching the Alaska Department of Transportation w/th a similar proposal.
K WF proposes to stencil storm drains that ultimately lead to the Kenai River with a short
message stating:
"All Drains Lead to Kenai River"
(silhouette of salmon)
"City of Kenai"
New stencils w/Il be purchased this year and it may be possible to work out a
different design that would be agreeable to all part/es wanting to part/c/pate in this
program. Stencils will be designed and stenciling will be conducted such that it meets all
city and .state codes regarding signs and painting in the r/ght of way. KWF will obtain
approval of the stencil and storm drain locations pr/or to painting from the City Manager
or the Public Works Director.
In Kenai, KWF will work w/th Keith Komelis, the Public Works Director, to
choose drains for both, visibility in the community and areas KWF suspects people have
introduced comaminates into the city dram system. Together, the City of Kenai and KWF
will chose no more than 25 city drains in the first year to stencil and gauge the level of
annual maintenance required .for each stencil. KWF agrees to maintain these drains in an
attractive manner or remove them at the request of the City. KWF anticipates and may use
volumeer assistance from the Boys & (}ids club or other similar organizations. As KWF
Membership Coordinator, I, Kelly Shea, will personally oversee the project. KWF will
provide all the equipment and supplies necessary to complete the project and all services
flee of charge to the city.
Stenciling would begin in August 1999 and may be expanded in subsequent years with
approval from the City Manager or Public Works Director.

Kenai City Council
Larry Semmens, Acting City Manager

Multipurpose Facility Status
This memo is to outline the status of the Multipurpose Facility Project.
.
The draft Concession and Management/Operation Agreement with Phase I, LLC
(LLC) is included in this packet for your review.
.
The bank has approved a loan to Phase 1, LLC contingent upon assignment of
the Concession and Management/Operation Agreement and the completed
formation of the LLC.
,
The contractor, G & S Construction (G & S), agrees to guarantee their bid price
for longer than the 60 days stipulated in their bid. However, the completion date
of the project is moved out one month to December 1, 1999. This completion
date is contingent upon the building package being ordered on Thursday, July
· 22, 1999.
.
Modifications to the structure have been made resulting in a cost reduction of
$35,250.00.
o
Due to the one month delay in the completion date, the LLC will not receive
revenue that was anticipated. They have proposed that the parties share equally
in the anticipated revenue loss of $10,000. For every day past November 1,
1999, the City and G & S would each pay $110. After December 1, G & S would
pay the City $500/day under the liquidated damages clause of the construction
contract.
The City Council needs to be aware that there is a possibility that Phase 1, LLC will not
actually have the bank loan in hand by July 22, 1999. If the City signed a contract with
G & S to build prior to having access to the loan proceeds, there is a risk that the LLC
will not get the loan and the City will be obligated to G & S for the full contract amount.
Time is the rub in this situation. If we wait until the loan proceeds are guaranteed to be
available to the City, the project will likely be delayed, possibly for a year.

RE' Multi Purpose Facility Financing

agreement between Phase i, LLC and the City of Kenai. The agreement must
be assigned to the bank as security for the loan and acknowledged by both
parties.

Re: Kenai Coastal Trail
Dear Mr. Kornelis:
We are in receipt of your request for proposal for the next step work on the Kenai
Coastal Trail.
The general statement of work would include project topographic surveys and mapping
showing properly lines and important features, preliminary plan(s), two public hearings
and a good cost estimate for the various components are shown in the attached RFP.
The following describes the work in' more detail and present budgets for each part.
,
TASK 1
SCHEMATIC DESIGN would include several variations tO account for access at Meeks
Crossing, Old Town at Mission Street, Kenai Joe's and the Old Harbor View. The
layouts would be presented on a large aedal photo suitable for use at the public
hearings. In addition to plan layouts, important details would be shown including cross
sections, slopes, trail sections, elevations, armor and revegetation.
Budget for schematic design and plans
$17,000
TASK 2
SURVEYS AND UPLAND TOPOGRAPHIC MAPPING will be obtained using new spring
1999 photography, flown as soon as weather will allow. This photo mission will be flown
by AeroMap of Anchorage. They propose new natural color photography at a scale of
1:6,000 to a~commodate 2' contour mapping.
Budget for aerial topographic mapping
$9,000
Ground control will be required for AemMap to accomplish: Aerotrangulation. The ground
control a~ivifies will include setting, monitoring and positioning up to eight photo panels
throughout the mapping area and providing that information to the photograrnmetdst by
PN&D surveyors. ~
Budget for mapping and suntey control $16,000

LIMITED PROPER. TY OWNERSHIP AND MAPPING will be created by AeroMap will be
merged with property ownemhip information provided to PN&D by the Kenai Peninsula
Borough, to create a base sheet that indicates topography, rights-of-ways and
approximate boundary lines. Some of this information v~ll be field verified by sunteying
with GPS, which will allow gathering of large amounts of data in a short time frame.
Budget for property information
$4,700
All products obtainecl during these activities will be available in electronic as well as hard
copy formats. The mapping in the computer format will be useful for the design phase
and trail easement exhibits.
Because Photogrammetdc mapping is much mare accurate with no foliage, we would
suggest at least mar~ing and flying as soon as possible to t~k® advantage of nb leaves
and good weather that might be available during these first days of spring.
TASK 3
COST ESTIMATE will be based upon accurate quantities taken from the survey
information. An accurate survey ~11 allow accurate computer c~lculations of vadous
material volumes and land areas including cut/fill, armor, paving, revegetation areas and
right-of-way takes. This will in turn lead to an a~urate cost estimate. Unit pdms typical
of the Kenai area will be applied to quantities to produce and accurate cost estimate. To
the construction cost estimates a factor for administration, engineedng and
contingencies will be added to produce a total project cost estimate.
Budget for estimates
$3,500
TASK 4
PUBLIC HEARINGS Two hearings are planned to initially gather ideas ancl desires of
the community followed by a second meeting to relate the results of input in the form of
presentation drawings and photos.
Budget for public hearings and r3reDaration
$3,000
Total Budget amount to perform all services
$53,200

Dear Mr. Nottingham'
Subject: Kenai Coastal Trail
Thank you for meeting with me to discuss the Reconnaissance Study on the Kenai
Coastal Trail that your firm did for the City of Kenai.
The City Administration would like to pursue the next step in this project. We would like
a proposal from your firm to put together a Project Presentation Package. The City
would use this to seek funding through the U.S. Congressional Delegation and the
Alaska State Legislature. We would also use it to seek funding through Federal and
State agency programs.
This Project Presentation Package should include:
1. A detail preliminary or schematic design.
2. A reasonably good survey that shows'
a. Property line locations and ownership.
b. Topography- existing and proposed for construction.
3. A complete detailed cost estimate of the project including-
a. Detailed estimated quantities.
b. Estimated unit prices.
c. Estimated right-of-way costs.
Mr. Dennis Nottingham
Page 2
April 20, 1999
Items that we ask you to consider:
1. Reducing the grade or slope and adding vegetation on the bluff behind the trail to
reduce the rate of erosion after the project is completed. (additional right-of-way will
be needed.)
2. Raising the elevation of the Coastal Trail to make sure that water during a high tide
with storm waves does not go over the trail. This is especially true near the mouth of
the river where waves sometimes exceed eight feet.
3. Additional access paths to the trail in locations such as:
a. Meeks Crossing
b. Old Town at Mission Street
c. Near Kenai Joe's
d. Near the Old Harbor View
4. Adding a breakwater (rock, gabions, concrete) to proteCt the existing dunes along
the beach and Alaska Avenue.
I have received input from the CitY Council, City Harbor Commission, City Manager, and
others concerning this project. The City wants to continue receiving input from.
everyone and, therefore, requests that you include at least two (2) public hearings to be
conducted by your firm while developing the Project Presentation Package.
This is at the initial stage of this next step and financial commitment has to be approved
by the City Council. The City normally works with consultants on a rate fee schedule
with a not-to-exceed amount. Please inClude this cost in your proposal.
I will give your proposal to the City Manager. If acceptable, he will send it on to the
Mayor and City Council for discussion and funding consideration.
Again, thank you for the time you spent going over the project with me. l look forward to
receiving your proposal.
Sincerely,
Keith Kornelis

Dip Net Fishery -- Komelis reported, to date approximately $1,200 had been collected
as launch fees at the dock and $1,500 had been collected at South Spruce Street
during two days of the dip net fishery.
Komelis also reported the South Spruce Street parking lot project came in close to the
bid amount. He added, ten additional piles had to be moved from the dock to the
parking area and additional signs and posts were purchased to mark off parking
spaces. Komelis noted, there were 15-20 spaces for one-hour free parking and an
Iron Ranger was placed where fees were being collected. Komelis referred to copies of
the fee collection envelopes being used at the dock and South Spruce parking lot which
were included as information items in the Commission packet.
Komelis noted the parking areas were being patrolled by two Police Department
summer hires (one a retired police officer) and there were also Parks & Recreation
summer hires helping both at South Spruce and the dock. Komelis added, both
operations were currently going smoothly.
Dock Entrance Sign -- Komelis reported the Dock sign had been removed in order for
the State to lay asphalt. The sign will be placed again by the entrance but because the
wooden posts were deteriorating, they would be replaced by pipe. Komelis also noted
the dock parking lot had been marked with lines denoting parking spaces.
Dock Foreman -- None.

ITEM 7:
NEW BUSINESS
7-a.
Discussion -- Cunningham Park/Concept Plan for Drift Boat Launch
The Commission discussed the letter from Wm. J. Nelson & Associates which was
included in their packet. The letter described a concept plan for a drift boat launch to
be added to Cunningham Park.
HARBOR COMMISSION MEETING
JULY 12, 1999
PAGE 2
dahrig commented he had no objections to the development of the drift boat launch as
long as it would not interfere with the ability for people to fish from the bank at
Cunnmgham Park. Eldridge agreed and added, it was his feeling that within a few
years the river would be drift boats only due to the problems of wake damage, etc.
caused by motored boats. He believed adding the launch ramp in the same park, but
separate from the bank fishing area, was an excellent alternative.
Councilman Bookey stated he agreed with Eldridge's comment the river would be going
to drift only but was concerned the launch ramp design for the park would not be big
enough to service all the drift boats that would be needing the area when the fiver
becomes drift only. He noted, the city tried to get a permit to develop a launch on a
piece of property owned by the Cone's but was not successful. He believed a permit
could be acquired to develop a launch ramp for drift boats at Cunnmgham Park but
was concerned that if one was developed now it would be too small to handle the traffic
in a few years and then the city would be unable to enlarge the facility.
Bookey stated he discussed his concerns with Mayor Williams and he suggested
adjacent property be purchased. He added, there was sti~ time to develop alternative
ideas and suggested exploring other ideas, such as tying into the Birch Island project,
etc. Bookey continued, he didn't want to go forw~d with developing a launch for six
people's use when the launching and retrieval of their boats would interfere with the
number of people fishing from the banks at Cunningham Park. He added, more space
was needed for the launch/retrieval area than was available at Cunnmgharn Park.
Jahrig suggested the space designated for a launch at Cunningham Park could be used
for additional parking space instead. I3ookey added, there was still time to review other
ideas. He added, if all indications were accurate, the Birch Island project would
proceed and suggested the parking area there could be enlarged and a boat
launch/retrieval area could be combined with that project. He noted, it would be best
for the State to have the launch/retrieval area because there would be no revenue
stream for the City of Kenai (only costs attributed to restrooms and garbage collection).
The money would mostly be collected in Soldotna and they would receive the sales tax.
MOTION:
Commissioner Thompson MOVED the Harbor Commission recommend the
Cunningham Park drift boat ramp facility be delayed until a more suitable location and
facility can be actively explored, i.e. Birch Island, private sector involvement, etc.
Commissioner Clay 8~ONDED the motion. There were no objections. ~O
ORDERED.
Bookey stated he believed within three years power boats would not be allowed on the
Kenai River and it would restricted to drift boat use only. The city could work with the
State or private sector to put in a boat launch which would be good for everyone. It
HARBOR COMMISSION MEETING
JULY 12, 1999
PAGE 3
was noted the Sportfishermen's Association would probably donate funds to develop
the drift boat launch, but it was felt it would be better to explore other alternatives.
Also noted was the Association could be helPfUl in acquiring support for such a project.
ITEM 8:
COMMISSIOI~RS' COMMENTS/Q~TIONS
Jahrlg -- Reported he attended the July 7 council meeting at which the
appropriation of $55,000 was approved for the Coastal Zone Trail Study. He added,
everyone he discussed the project with had been very positive. Kornelis added, Dennis
Petratrovich (Petratrovich, Nottinham & Drage) would be attending the duly 21 meeting
to discuss the project and contract. He noted the contract was currently being
developed, dahrig requested a copy of the draft contract for his review as well.
Bookey asked Komelis if administration was confident the proposal would provide the
information the city needed to make the presentations required to request funding. He
added, everyone needed to be aware there.probably would be only one opportunity to
acquire the funds and he wanted to be sure the information needed would be included
in the study.
Bookey also noted the public sentiment of the project was very positive and those he
spoke with were very pleased an effort was being made to get funding that would tackle
bluff erosion concerns as well as incorporate trails, etc. to it.
Komelis stated the only thing that would not be included in the proposal would be
additional costs for travel, brochures and publications needed for the lobbying effort.
Bookey noted, he brought council's attention to the fact there would be additional
funding needed for those items when he made the motion to appropriate the $55,000.
Council had no comments or objections. Komelis noted the study would include the
schematics, cost estimate, survey, property ownership, estimate of real estate costs for
purchase or condemnation, slope protection, and drawings. With the study, there
would be one full package of information. How many additional packages and to whom
they would be sent was not known at this time and the costs for additional packages
and postage would be borne by the city.
dahrig suggested Meeks' Crossing be named Meeks' Trail when the area was developed
more fully, dahrig also thanked the efforts of the Harbor Commission and City Council
as he felt it was a good f~rst step.
Werner-Quade -- Stated she was sorry she missed the Cunnmgham Park
dedication. She was out-of-town and unable to attend.
Komelis reported both the Cunningham Park and Erik Hansen Scout Park were
dedicated and both look very nice. Bookey noted, if an additional five acres could be
acquired for a launch area separate from Cunnmgham Park it would be one thing, but
HARBOR COMMISSION MEETING
JULY 12, 1999
PAGE 4
thought it would degrade the Park if a launch was developed as it was now being
presented. Jahrig noted, Cunmn~m Park had the easiest access to take children
fishing. Bookey agreed and added, a launch added to the Park wouldn't work for both
user groups and he was convinced there would be another place for a launch and the
private sector may need to be involved.
Councilman Bookey noted Councilman Measles resigned from the City Council effective
July 31, 1999 and that Measles would be chairing the council meeting on duly 21. The
Com__mission was invited to attend.

Kenai Cemetery
Frates reported the recommendations made at the June 3, 1999
meeting regarding the Kenai Municipal Cemetery Regulations were
taken informally to Council. The City Manager requested that all
Departments review Code items and in three months bring them
to the City Council with suggested revisions. The cemetery
regulations will be formally presented at that time.

Discussion took place on the recommended changes and Frates
reported the City Attorney thought the revisions achieved what the
Commission desired. It was asked if the existing materials in the
cemetery were grandfathered. Frates indicated they were,
however, faded plastic flowers and other deteriorated items will be
removed at the discretion of the Parks Department.
NEW BUSINESS: - None
DIRECTOR'S REPORT:
Summer Solstice Fun Run/Walk
Frates announced this year's Fun Run/Walk was very well
attended and a lot of fun. Approximately 44 individuals
participated.
b®
Dip Net Fishery Preparation- Spruce Street
Frates reported the dip net fishery would begin on July 10 and
would go through the end of the month. Parking was currently
available at the end of Spruce Street and there would be a charge
of $5.00 to park for 12 hours. Pay envelopes are to be available as
well as a drop box. The enforcement responsibility for the parking
lot would be shared between Parks and the Police Department.
Frates announced that one hour free parking would also be
available.
Discussion took place on the rate and it was felt by most
Commissioners the rate should have been higher; perhaps ten to
twenty dollars.
Discussion took place on advertising the new parking
arrangements and Frates reported press releases would be
forthcoming.
Parks & Recreation Commission Meeting
July 1, 1999
Page 2
Frates indicated that although _the State would provide some
assistance with staff, it wouldn't be as much as last year due to
limited funding.
Frates announced the tr'ash receptacles located on the south side
of the beach would not be available this year. However, signs are
to be posted requesting users to take their trash out with them
when they leave.
Multi-purpose Facility
Frates reported approximately 15 individuals came together to
raise funds for the multi-purpose facility. Castimore, a member of
the group, stated they developed a non-profit company called a
Limited Liability Corporation and was set up like a business. As a
business, it could borrow money for a specific reason and as a
non-profit business it would have more leeway than a standard
private corporation or business. Castimore continued, the people
in the group were guaranteeing a loan and not actually fronting
the money.
A lengthy discussion took place on the multi-purpose facility and
Castimore stated the corporation's goal was to make it work for
the kids. Any profit from this venture would go back to the kids
via the Boys and Girls Club, Scouts, etc.
The Commissioners thought a sign should be placed on the
highway to indicate the area by the high school would be the
future home of the Multi-Purpose Facility and Challenger Learning
Center. It was noted a sign was there for the Learning Center but
it was small.
Frates indicated the fee structure for the facility would be
discussed in the near future. Frates continued, the time line for
completion had not changed and the facility should be available
this winter.
de
Community Interest Survey
Frates reported the Parks Community Interest Survey was mailed
to approximately 250 individuals and approximately 30 were
returned with incorrect addresses. Frates indicated responses
had already been received.
~UESTIONS/h COMMENTS:
Commissioner Yamamoto stated the area between the sidewalk and
highway from the Katmai Hotel to Forest Drive was a very high
maintenance item requiring a lot of attention from the Parks staff.
Parks & Recreation Commission Meeting
July 1, 1999
Page 3
Yamamoto suggested that perhaps the sidewalk could be widened to
eliminate the extra work.
During discussion it was determined the State had responsibility for that
area. Castimore thought the State should be contacted since $1.2 billion
was appropriated for Alaska highway projects next year. It was also
suggested that if the sidewalk couldn't be extended, then perhaps
wildflowers could be planted instead.
MOTION:
YAMAMOTO MOVED TO PURS~ UPGRADES FOR THE ESTIMATED
THREE-FOOT AREA OF THE ROAD (BOTH SIDES) BETWEEN THE
SIDEWALK AND THE SPUR HIGHWAY FROM THE KATMAI HOTEL
TO FORF.~T DRIVE. MOTION SECONDED BY PETERS.
VOICE VOTE: MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.
Yamamoto commended the Parks Department for the excellent work
ethics of the summer hires. He noted, they wear their safety equipment
appropriately and the City looks good.
Yamamoto asked that Frates contact the contractor for the Multi-
purpose Facility and the Challenger Learning Center to see if a larger
~future home~ sign could be placed near the projects.
Commissioner Castimore reported he witnessed several children
playing on the Big Toy at the Offers' Field and thought it should remain
in place.
Castimore asked how much more money the City provided for the Erik
Hansen Scout Park. Frates answered, $20,000. Castimore thought it
wouldn't hurt to request $20,000 each year for park projects and asked
that it be on the agenda for the next meeting.
Commissioner Hultberg asked how much more additional work would
be required of Parks after the Multi-purpose Facility was completed.'
Frates reported the only extra work would be the grounds.
Hultberg asked about the "Adopt a Highway" program and thought that
more businesses would .get involved if it was properly advertised.
Hultberg asked if the Community Interest Survey could be ready for
discussion at the next meeting. Frates answered it would be and would
he would have it on the agenda for the next meeting.
Student Representative Peters stated the Scout Park looked great and
several people were utilizing it. He asked if benches were planned for the
park. Frates replied they would be installed during the summer.

5. OLD BUSINESS
a.
Discussion- Planting Update
Dimmick reported that she had tried using "Preen" at the Visitors Center, but she
didn't think it worked. Others stated the same experience. Dimmick also said she is
still working on gathering plants for the native bed. She has some plants at home
that she is bringing back to health before planting.
e
Frates stated that the sod cutter is now available for use. It cuts a swath of about
two feet. Dimmick said he could use it to extend the bed at the Visitors Center.
Overturf said that planting at the Chamber was not finished--there is a window box,
the space under it, and a barrel planter on the deck that have not been planted.
Frates said he would take care of it. He said the hose rack seems to be pulling the
window box down, and he suggested storing the hose under the box. Overturf
suggested planting Lychnis there because it would always come back--even if
damaged or pulled out.
Overturf also stated that the island bed at the fire department was ~ dry last
week. She set up a soaker hose herself. Frates said he would talk to the fire
department again about watering.
Overturf told Frates she has quite a few extra annuals that can be used in the City
beds if needed.
Frates reported that he is planning to plant more in the Remax bed and the
"Welcome to Kenai" sign bed next year. Discussion followed about astilbe, salvia,
trollius, Lady's Mantle, and other plants that would be suitable for those locations.
Frates stated that Feldman gave him a beautiful Lygularia that can be used
somewhere.
b.
Discussion- Airport Triangle Green strip
Frates reported that the spruce trees in the greenstrip now almost block the view of
the jet and the terminal when driving toward the airport on Airport Way. He said he
thinks the trees' roots could be pruned this year and the trees could be moved next
year to new locations. He would like to see roses and/or lilacs in the greenstrip. He
said the lilacs could be pruned to stay short.
He said he didn't know where he would move the spruce trees--possibly to the
softball strip near the new restrooms. It was noted that this would also be a good
time to replace the matting in the triangle.
NEW BUSINF~S
a.
Discussion--Volunteer thank you
Dimmick suggested that the August or September meeting would be a good time to
thank the volunteers this year.
be
Discussion--Plant Swap
Dimmick said she had the idea for everyone to bring plants that they have good luck
with (old or new) and tell the group how to grow them, and then trade plants with
BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE MEETING
JULY 13, 1999
Page 2 of 5
each other. She said that if this event would be held in August (in good weather) the
gazebo could be used.
Co
Discussion--Leif Hansen Park Plantings
Dimmick said that the center of one of the mounds is rather bare this year. The
delphiniums have stayed small so far (first year). She said that maybe some taller
plants could be found to fill in. Dimmick said she has an Arnold Red Honeysuckle
that is very nice and would do well there. Maltese Cross was also suggested because
it gets tall and works well in clumps. Overturf stated she has some that she could
put in there.
It was suggested that the volunteer thank you and the plant swap could be tied
together, and it Could be done at the next meeting on August 10. Or the decision
cOuld be made at the next meeting.
REPORTS
a. Committee Chair
Dimmick said she found the soaker hoses she had been looking for. She stated that
the dedication of the Erik Hansen Scout Park went well and was well attended. She
told Frates the roses at that park were beautiful. Frates was asked if the parking
curb would be fixed or marked to be more clear. He said it would. Dimmick also
said she had talked to a manager at Carr's about them donating a sign for the Bernie
Huss Trail. She was told to send a letter to management in Anchorage, which she
will do. It was decided that she would use Parks & Rec letterhead.
b. Parks & Recreation Director
Frates told the group that he had visited Bobby Jackson who has a variety of roses
for the planned Leif Hansen Park rose bed.
Frates announced that Industry Appreciation Day would be on August 7, 1999. He
said Parks & Rec is sponsoring a softball tournament, and they are looking for
players. They also need volunteers to run the tent, handing out information, etc., he
said. Frates said he would have someone call volunteers during the week before
with reminders.
Frates talked about the watering program. The weather has been very dry, he noted,
and his crew has logged 406 hours planting and watering since early June. They
have a 300-gallon tank to drag around town and do all the watering. He said it
takes 1,200 gallons and 1-½ days to water everything once. The regular schedule is
Monday, Wednesday and Friday, he stated, but they water every day during hot, dry
weeks; and they have even worked on Saturdays sometimes. He said that on Friday,
dune 9, a fire truck was used to spread 20,000 gallons of water; and on the same
day the Street Department water truck was used for 30,000 gallons of water. Frates

noted that the flower boxes are left until last because they seem to hold the moisture
longer.
The dead lobelia in the hanging baskets in Old Town will be replaced, Frates said.
was discussed that maybe next year the hanging baskets should be plastic instead
of paper so they would hold water better. Frates said the wind seemed to blowing
right into the holes where the plants were.
It

Frates also said he talked to Trinity Nursery about the dead lobelia.
that it could be over watered, as well.
He was told
The dipnetting is going well, Frates reported. He said they would be putting a sand
volleyball court at the end of Forest Drive. He also said the P&R survey is coming
back from the public now. It appears that people like the beautification efforts and
would like to see more, he noted. Frates said he would report on the full results
when the tally is final.
There was a discussion about the feasibility of "Y" connectors being put on the
spigots near all of the beds. Frates said he didn't know how much good it would do
because of the decreased water pressure it would cause, but he would try it.
c. Kenai City Council Liaison
Swarner announced that there would be four seats open for Council this fall. She
said that hers and Bannock's terms are up this year; Measles' seat will be open
because he resigned and is moving out of town; and Frazer's seat will be open
because of the timing of Hal Smalley's resignation. She stated there would be a
community party for Measles on Sunday, duly 25, at the Oilers field.
Swarner reported that the groundbreaking for the Challenger center went well and
was impressive. Also occumng recently were the re-dedication of Cunningham Park
and the dedication of Erik Hansen Scout Park.
OUESTIONS AND COMMENTS
Brown asked about the budget for the banners for next summer.
responded that it had been approved.
Overturf asked about the yard judging for this year. A discussion followed about
when the judging should take place. It was decided that Dimmick would talk with
the new Chamber Director and see what ideas she had.
Frates announced that P&R won second place in the organization category for the 4th
of July parade.

Overturf noted that the delphiniums in the Rotary bed need to be tied up right away
before it rains any more.
Dimmick stated the committee needs more volunteers for weeding.
maybe she should call people more often to remind them.
She thought that
Dimmick also asked about turning on the water at the Chamber. She was told it is
just a normal faucet with no lock. She said that from now on she would pay
attention to the watering needs at the Chamber when she is at the Visitors Center
beds.

win Jahrig-- Jahrig noted he was Harbor Commission Chair and a member of the
Kenai Visitors & Convention Bureau Board of Directors. Jahrig reported those
citizens of the area to whom he spoke were all in favor of the project. He added, he
was very interested in the project and believed the project would be good for the city
and would emphasize what the city has to offer.
Councilman Bookey stated he strongly endorsed the project and believed it was long
overdue. He added, he believed the project would put Kenai in a position it has not
been in before. Bookey added, he wanted council to understand the $55,000 being
appropriated by the ordinance would only be a part of the future financial obligation
to the city to bring this project to fruition. He noted, other costs would be involved in
sending a team of members of the council to Washington, DC to present and promote
the project in seeking funding. Bookey stated, he believed it was the responsibility
of the council to explain and promote the project and was not in favor of hiring
someone to accomplish that work.
Councilman Bannock stated he believed the project was a wonderful idea and would
probably happen someday, but thought the process to develop the project was wrong.
He explained, he would prefer the project be funded through public/private
involvement much like the Challenger Project, Cunningham Park improvements, Erik
Hansen Park and Multi-purpose Facility. He added, if the last step of the project was
to acquire $5 million to fund the project, and if there were no partners at this level of
the project, he suggested it may not be a good project. Bannock suggested this
would be the wrong way to financially begin the project.

explained, with the passage of the ordinance, he believed over the next year, as
investments matured, he would invest up to $10 million of the $33 million in the
city's portfolio in securities with maturities longer than two years. He noted,
securities currently alloWed by code for investments would yield 6.03% with a two-
year maturity and similar investments with a five-year maturity would yield 6.72%.
If $10 million was invested, it could earn an increased yield of $50,000 to $80,000 (if
it was deemed appropriate and prudent to make the investment at the time).
Semmens noted, it was unknown if it would be appropriate and prudent when it was
ti~e to make the investment, but the change in the code would allow flexibility for
making the choice..
Bookey asked if the $10 million could be used for anything but investment.
Semmens answered, all the city funds were co,mingled, however monies in the city's
trust fund (approximately $12 million) could not be spent at all. That portion of the
portfolio would be available to revest for more than two years (these funds would not
be available for cash flow).
Williams noted, it had not been too many years prior at which time the City had only
$800,000 in the bank and the mill rate was 21. He added, it was a compliment to
past administrations and councils who set the city on its current investment
program.

Councilman Bookey MOVED for approval of the purchase orders exceeding $2,500

Swarner referred to the purchase order to J&D Painting for staining the Senior
Center and asked if it had been done since it was built. City Engineer La Shot
answered, he believed it had been but didn't have specific information with him.
Swarner requested information of when it was last stained, who did the work, and
why the staining didn't last.
Swarner also questioned the painting to be done on the exterior of the Library
building and asked if the trim work would be included in the work. La Shot
answered, he was not aware and would check and forward that information to
Swarner.
Moore questioned the purchase order for overages for dust control. Public Works
Manager Komelis explained the truck arrived with a load of product (which was not
expected) and it was used when training the drivers. The purchase order previously
approved was to cover product purchased from Doyles.
VOTE:

Acting Airport Manager Holland referred to the letter of request from Yute Air which
was included in the packet. He noted, a representatiVe from Yute Air contacted him
on Friday and there was no time to prepare the draft lease to include in the packet.
He noted, the lease would be standard and that Yute Air were current in payments
when they curtailed their last operation in the City. Holland also explained there
were two counter space areas available in the terminal.

Discussion -- Potential Training for 16 U.S. Coast Guard Ship Crews --
Possible Resolution and Letter of Support.
Mayor Williams suggested council hold a work session to redevelop its five-year plan
and strategies to be held prior to the AML Conference in November. He noted, there
had already been changes in the area and many changes were on the horizon. He
urged council to consider a work session.
Williams reported there was a plan being formulated to tram 16 U.S. Coast Guard
ship crews at the Fire Training Center in Kenai. He requested council send a letter of
support and a resolution asking the city to be joined as a partner in the training
when the plan is formulated. Williams requested permission from council to also
speak to the Kenai Chamber of Commerce, Economic Development District and
Borough Assembly in this regard and to request letters and resolutions in support of
the plan. He noted, he had already discussed the potential for marine fire fighting
training in Kenai with Senator Stevens and he indicated his support.
Williams reported he met with the President of United Industries, the parent
corporation of Engineering Services, Inc. and interest was expressed in the training
opportunity. There were no comments or objections from council.
Discussion-- Daubenspeck Property Use Possibilities
Williams explained, there had been discussions over time in regard to the
Daubenspeck properties and future uses for the properties. He noted, in the past the
city requested a letter from Mr. Daubenspeck asking if there were any limitations to
the uses of the properties they donated to the city (which was handed out to council
at the beginning of the meeting). Williams noted, Daubenspeck answered and a copy
of his August 28, 1995 letter was distributed to council. Williams noted the letter
stated, "... you may consider this letter to be a notice to the City of Kenai that I place
no restrictions of their use of the property involved in my gift. You are free to make
whatever use is best for the City of Kenai."
Williams noted, there had been some discussion of using the property for the
development of a hotel/convention center, etc. and thought the timing maybe was
ripe for something of that nature. He noted, he had discussions with two groups who
expressed interest in such a development.
Williams requested council's permission to draft a genetic letter of interest to groups
who may be interested in developing the Daubenspeck property. He added, the letter
would not be for a specific project but would state the city had available sufficient
lands and was interested in discussing the possibilities of construction of a facility.
~NAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
JULY 7, 1999
PAGE 8
He noted, the letter would not obligate the city in any way. He hoped to follow-up the
letter with a package of information about the city, including the developments made
to the city in the last ten years, etc. and use it as a sales tool for the city.
Williams suggested the Daubenspeck property and unsubdivided city properties in
that area and available for development involved approximately 21Y~- acres (the most
valuable piece city property in Kenai).
There were no comments or objections from council.
H-7.
Dl~etmsioa-- Painting of Concrete Pillars/South Spruce Street Parking
Lot.
Williams explained, last year he had a request from a group of local artists interested
in painting fish scenes on the pillars used at the parking lot. They were interested in
doing the painting if the city would purchase the paint. They would be using
volunteer labor to do the painting. He noted, the Public Works Department indicated
they could hydro-wash the pillars in order for them to be painted. He noted, if
council had no objections, he would contact the painters to have the work done.
Bookey stated he had no objection if the pillars were to be painted with a theme, but
didn't want the pillars to be painted all one .color, etc. Moore stated he had no
objection, but thought the time for painting would have to be dictated by the amount
of people involved in the dip net fishery. Williams stated, he understood the painting
would be more of a border much like what had been painted at the airport terminal.
There were no objections from council.
Bannock referred to the map of the Daubenspeck property included in the packet
and noted he Saw no reference to Tract D of that specific property. Discussion
followed in regard to identification of the properties. Williams asked Attorney Graves
to research the correspondence from Daubenspeck to determine what was intended
by adding "Tract D" to the letter. Graves stated he would include that information in
the next council packet.
Williams noted the major projects ongoing in the city presently were the Challenger
Center, Coastal Zone project, and interest in extending the development of
Cunningham Park. He referred to Councilman Bookey's earlier remark regarding a
team lobbying effort for the Coastal Zone project and wholeheartedly agreed.
Williams suggested some funds could be made available through the Denali Fund
(created by Senator Stevens to be used for health and safety issues in the villages) to
develop a long-term endowment for a training program through the Fire Training
Facility. The planned program would include three levels; funding to train 25
students the first year, 50 students the second year and a $1 million endowment for
the third year. Williams noted, when he discussed the idea with the director of the
Denali Fund, the plan was brought together when he explained one of the training
units was using equipment which could convert 30 gallons of water into 600 gallons
of foam which could be pulled behind a four-wheeler.

Williams also reported he took James Lee Witt, Director of the Federal Emergency
Management Agency on a tour through the ARFF facility. Witt stated there may be
some federal funding available to increase the amount of communications gear, etc.
at the facility and was very interested in continuing contacts on that issue.
Williams suggested a team effort would be needed to make all the necessary contacts
in Wash/ngton, DC in regard to funding for the Coastal Zone Trail funds. He noted,
federal and state agencies would have to be contacted but he wasn't sure who would
be included in the team making the contacts. · Williams added, he believed there were
a lot of federal dollars available and who would be awarded the money, would be
those who aggressively sought the money. He noted, he believed the city was in a
good position to acquire funding.
Williams-requested council to consider the items he discussed and give thought to
how to approach lobbying and future projects.
l)iseussion -- Alaska Travel Industry Association Membership
Williams reported the Alaska Visitors Association was being restructured and a new
trade organization created; Alaska Travel Industry Association. He invited Kathy
Tarr to discuss the matter future.
Kathy Tart-- Tarr noted the industry came forward with a new plan to use private
sector funds to match core funding at the State level. She added, legislation was
passed during the past session to restructure tourism marketing. The statewide
trade industry association, Alaska Visitors Association, would be dismantled and the
new organization was being formed at the grassroots level.
Tarr continued, in the first year they were asking people to join at a $25.00 level and
then the following years the cost would be increased. She noted, it was important to
join the new organization now as they would be electing a new statewide board of
directors. Tarr added, on July 1, 2000 the State of Alaska would let out a contract to
a private organization to handle most of the tourism marketing (Alaska Travel
Industry Association). She noted, the Division of Tourism would remain in place and
the State would continue to fund some tourism activities (from $4 to 5 million). Over
the next three or four years, the industry would then put more money in the pool to
match the state's funding in order to return to a level of $10 million in tourism
marketing funding in the future.
Tarr reported the KVCC had already joined, as well as several other members in the
area. She added, the more Kenai businesses who join would increase the chances
for a local person to be elected to the new board and it would show the Peninsula
had a strong tourism component as part of its economy.
Swarner asked what Tarr expected the dues to be next year. Tarr answered, she
believed they would begin at about $300 a year, but would be determined on how
~NAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
JULY 7, 1999
PAGE 10
many businesses join. She added, the state would be hesitant to go forward with the
plan if there were not enough memberships to the new organization.
Tarr added, throughout the state other funding proposals were being discussed, i.e.
seasonal sales taxes, bed tax increases, etc. At this time, Tarr stated, the industry
was opposed to those proposals becaUse the taxes invade the local municipalities'
positions in trying to get funds on the local level as well as because those funds
would not be used for tourism marketing, but go into the State's General Fund.
Bookey stated, because Kenai Visitors Convention Bureau, Inc. was an arm of the
city's and was a member, he didn't think the council or city needed to be a member.
He added, if in the future the council wanted to help the KVCC, they could increase
their funding to cover their dues.
Tarr also noted, part of the restructuring would include the convention and visitor
bureaus in different regions throughout the state and funding to the organization
would have an impact on the KVCC, as well as other entities on the Peninsula.
Williams stated he believed it would be worth the city joining the Alaska Travel
Industry Association to improve the numbers to the overall organization. He added,
approximately one-half the city's budget was generated from sales tax and he
thought more than half of the city's sales tax was generated during the summer
months when tourism is busiest. Williams suggested the city join the organization to
show support and the city's active position.
Measles stated he agreed with Williams and added, he believed the city should join
the organization.

Industry Association. Councilman Frazer SECONDED the motion.

Discussion -- Proposed Management/Operation Agreement for the
Kenai Multi-Purpose Facility.
Semmens reported administration was continuing to work on the operating
agreement for the multipurpose facility and the draft agreement was included in the
KEN~ CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
JULY 7, 1999
PAGE 11
packet for council's review. He added, he believed by the July 21 meeting, the
agreement should be in final form for council's consideration.
Semmens noted, there were some issues with the project being investigated; the
timeline and additional costs involved with adding the Zamboni room, utilities and
contingency. He explained, administration contacted the general contractor who
submitted the low bid and asked him if the project could be completed by November
1. The contractor was unable to answer the question as the completion date would
depend on whether the steel building could be delivered in time for erection and
completion by November 1.
Semmens also explained, the original construction bids came in higher than the
estimate. He noted, an additional $150,000 needed to be added to the estimate to
include the Zamboni room (which was included in the operating agreement), $30,000
for utilities, and $30,000 for contingency. Semmens added, the bottom line was that
after the contribution of $275,000 from the LLC, the council would need to come up
with $187,000 from the General Fund fund balance. He noted, they were in
discussions with the general contractor on some issues where costs may be able to
be reduced by approximately $30,000.
Semmens requested comments from council regarding the use of $187,000 from the
General Fund fund balance. He added, if the project could be completed close to or
at the original time frame and if the operating agreement was completed, he planned
to have an ordinance to appropriate the additional $462,000 needed for the project
for council's consideration at the July 21 council meeting. Semmens added, if the
ordinance was brought forward, both readings of the ordinance Would take place at
that meeting. He noted, if that wasn't done, he doubted the project could be
completed by November 1. Semmens continued, he had discussed a line of credit
with the LLC or a commitment from a bank prior to signing a contract with the
general contractor.
Swamer asked if the contractor indicated when he could give an answer on the
completion date. Se_re_mens answered, the contractor had been out of town and was
expected back in the morning; he would speak with him then. He added, the
supplier of the building had not made any positive statements as to the ability to
deliver the steel building in the near future. Semmens noted, he believed the LLC
would be very interested in knowing when the building could be delivered as it would
be important to the maintenance agreement as far as collecting revenues from the
rink.
Swamer stated she would be very disappointed if the building was not erected this
winter and was also aware there would be many disappointed children and parents
in the community. She added, she would like to proceed as Semmens suggested.
Semmens indicated $737,000 had been appropriated for the project, of which
$700,000 was identified for construction and $37,000 for administration and
inspection. Of the $1,162,000, $187,000 was needed to complete the construction.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
JULY 7, 1999
PAGE 12
Frazer stated he was 100% in support of the project and agreed with Swamer the
project should proceed in order to be in use this winter. He added, he reviewed the
draft agreement and asked if the revenues from the skating portion of the year would
go to the LLC. Se_rn__~ens answered yes. He continued, the operating costs, labor,
etc. would be footed by the city. Se~ens answered yes, except for the maintenance
of the ice surface. Frazer asked if the year's maintenance costs, including labor, etc.,
would be an additional cost. He noted, if the city were collecting the ice maintenance
fees, those funds would come to the city. He asked Semmens if there was an
estimate of what the operating costs of the facility might be. Semmens answered, he
knew of no estimate but noted the city would supply snowplowing, water and
electricity. He added, it was not anticipated those costs would be high.
Frazer noted there was no mention of the boards for the hockey rink identified in the
draft contract and knew they were not included in the bid. Semmens noted that was
correct and added his understanding was the LLC would be handling that concern.
Frazer stated he still believed council should do what was needed to push the project
forward and completed by the fall.
Moore asked what the contractor's concern, was in regard to his inability to produce
as he understood the bid was good for 60 days. Semmens answered, the bid would
be good for 60 days and, in fact, the contractor stated his bid would be good for more
than 60 days. However, the ability to procure the materials for the project would
move forward as the construction season progressed. He added, he was told there
could be difficulties in getting the materials from the suppliers and because the bid
was not awarded (because of the lack of funds), the materials could not be ordered.
Moore also stated there were boards available.
Swarner noted the city would not be covering the LLC volunteers under its Workers'
Compensation policy. Semmens noted Swarner was correct and the LLC would have
to procure its own Workers' Compensation Insurance or in some other way take care
of the Workers' Compensation question as the city's policy would not cover those
volunteers tatting care of the ice surface.
Bookey stated he supported the project up to $1 mi!!~on but after hearing an amount
of $187,000 would still need to be funded, he was hesitant. He noted, if the building
wasn't delivered, it could be winter construction which would raise the costs again.
Bookey stated he wouldn't support proceeding with the project until 'hard core
numbers were determined.
Rick Baldwin -- Thanked administration for their devout efforts in working with the
LLC in putting the package together. He noted there had been some hard issues to
address and they were moving forward together very well.
Baldwin continued, he had received nothing but positive support from the
community for their group and had others ask if they could join the group. He
noted, as far as the LLC group, the commitment was there and stronger. Baldwin
added, they received positive signals from the local bank interested in providing the
funding. Referring to the question about the boards, Baldwin noted there was no
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
JULY 7, 1999 ~
PAGE 13
money in the city's budget for the boards and the LLC may have to cover those costs.
He added, they were hoping they may be able to acquire the boards from other public
sources. Baldwin added, he felt they were close to a firm agreement and after the
outstanding issues raised during the meeting were resolved, he felt they had a deal.
Baldwin added, in talking with his banker, the banker stated, with the city's approval
and city's interest in the project and with the individual signatures of the LLC, he
would be able to provide the package to the Anchorage office from which he had
already received favorable response.

Bookey-- Stated concems there was no watering being done on frontage
grass from the Visitors Center to Arbys. Bookey noted, he discussed the matter last
year with City Manager Ross and Ross assured him the lack of watering would not
happen this year. He requested watering be done through the middle of town, as well
as Main Street extended. He noted, it would need a coordinated effort of
departments to get the watering done. Semmens stated, the watering would be done.
Swarner asked when Rogers Road would be open again to traffic. La Shot answered
the de-watering operation was mostly complete. When it was suggested the water
being pumped out of the area be used for watering the grass, La Shot explained the
permit would not allow for that to be done.
Swarner-- Stated the airport terminal carpet was very badly stained and
asked what was to be done. Holland explained a new janitorial contract had been
approved earlier in the evening and this janitor would be using a new cleaning
program on the carpet. It. was hoped this program could salvage the carpet, but if
not, the carpet would be replaced in the fall.
Williams suggested that before selecting new carpet, those involved in choosing the
carpet should visit other airports for examples of what carpet they are using and
whether it has worn well, etc.
Moore -- Requested the grass be watered and the dandelions be eliminated.

Reported he returned to Kenai the other day and found a vehicle
parked in the Airport Manager's parking space with a sign in the
window which was offensive to the City of Kenai and its citizens.
He requested the person be contacted and told not to use that
parking space and be requested to remove the sign.
Measles explained, due to his job responsibilities, he was
tendering his resignation from his position as city council
member effective the end of July.
Mayor Williams thanked Measles on behalf of the council and
administration adding, he would be missed. Williams continued,
Measles had been a part of the community for many, many,
many years and that everything that happened in the city for the
last 20 years, Measles had a part in it. Williams added,
personally, he would miss Measles' good judgement and
management style. He wished Measles good luck in the future
and added, he knew Measles would always consider Kenai home.
Bannock -- Offered Measles best wishes. Bannock also reported he had a
discussion with a visitor to the area who suggested that since the fire truck had to be
out on the tarmac for arrival of planes, a sign be placed on the side of the truck
saying "Welcome to Kenai" which would take the attention off the fire truck. It was
suggested administration check with FAA and if they had no objections, then
proceed. Council had no objections.

Dear Mayor Williams:
The Cook Inlet Regional Citizens Advisory
AC) was created by
Congressional mandate, Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA 90), to have citizens oversight
of the "oil" operations in Cook Inlet. This law was enacted after the Exxon oil spill in
Prince William Sound.
As you can see from the left-hand margin of our letterhead, CIRCAC represents various
organizations from Kodiak to Anchorage and the State Chamber of Commerce.
CIRCAC will be holding a Forum "Safety of Navigation in Cook Inlet" in Homer,
September 10, 1999, that will involve most of the industry who sail Cook Inlet. The
purpose oft his "Forum" as noted in the attached proposed program, is to generate greater
awareness to the "Prevention" aspect of an oil spill, whether it be crude oil from a tanker
or bunker oil from a freighter or cruise ship or others, as compared to most planning and
attention going to the "Response" aspect. Through "Prevention" we have the greatest
oppommities to preserve our pristine envir~maent of Cook Inlet.
Also, not to be overlooked and of great importance is that many of our communities,
consisting of at least sixty percent of Alaskans, are dependent on the distribution of
freight that arrives at the Port of Anchorage from ships sailing Cook Inlet. This further
emphasizes the need for "Prevention" to preserve our pristine environment of Cook Inlet
with the result being uninterrul:~d movement of ships.
We seek your support of our "Forum." To that end, we are asking various Boroughs,
Municipalities and Cities throughout Alaska for Resolutions of Support that can be
presented during the program. We have enclosed a suggested Resolution.
Should you have any questions or other thoughts for us please call me at
1-800-652-7222 or 1-907-283-7222.
Many thanks for your support.

Draft Resolution
Borough, City, etc..- supports the Cook Inlet Regional Citizens Advisory
Council's (CIRCAC) endeavors to encourage those with the ultimate
authority and responsibility to ensure that "Prevention" of oil spills in Cook
Inlet 'become one of their highest priorities.
WHEREAS, we encourage those with the authority and responsibility to
exercise due process expeditiously in generating, if not guaranteeing
ultimate "Prevention" rules pertaining to any kind of oil spill in Cook Inlet;
and
WHEREAS, engaging such "Prevention" roles by those with the authority
and responsibility to do so will contribute to the continual safe and timely
passage .of goods and fi'eight through the Port of Anchorage to a number of
communities of Alaska and to over sixty percent of all Alaskans; and
WHEREAS, we suggest to those with the authority and responsibility that
"Prevention" should not be a reactionary, tool but should be done through the.
immediate sense of planning and employing best available technology prior
to a spill occurring.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that CIRCAC may present this
resolution at their Forum "Safety of Navigation ha Cook Inlet" in Homer,
Alaska, September 10, 1999 and for any other purpose it may deem
appropriate.

Quarterly Investment Report
At June 30, 1999 the City investment portfolio is $33,540,883.91 and the current rate of
return is 5.36%. The current portfolio yield has increased from 5.29% at March 31.
Rates have increased substantially in the last month in anticipation of the recent
increase by the Federal Reserve. The yield on investments in the two year range are as
high as 6.0% for callable bonds. The Council authorized a lengthening of maturity to 5
years which will permit investing in higher yielding securities. As investments mature,
consideration will be given to investing in the 3-5 year range. Given the increase in rates
and the new ability to invest in higher yielding investments, the City is starting out
FY2000 on a positive note regarding interest revenue. The budget was calculated on an
average rate of 5.3%. If current rates hold for a few months, we should do better than
5.3%.
The makeup of the portfolio at June 30, 1999 is:

$32,455,865.78

RDC endorses new fiscal plan
Budget gap is real doing nothing is not an option
Flanked by legislators and Alaska
business and community leaders.
Governor Tony Knowles signed into
law June li3 a bill authorizing a
September 14 advisory vote on the
use of Permanent Fund earnings to
help pay for public services and
balance the state budget. If voters
support the proposal, legislation will
be introduced next session to put the

The Balanced Budget Plan uses a
Portion of Permanent Fund earnings to
balance the state budget, after paying
dividends and inflation-proofing the
fund. The plan is designed to preserve
the Permanent Fund dividend, inflation-
proof the fund, support public services.
and establish a Citizens Balanced
Budget Task Force that will present
options to further reduce state spending
and identify future revenue sources.
RDC is working closely with state
leaders- elected officials, business
and civic leaders -- to develop a
campaign to convince Alaskans that
the plan is a viable long-term solution to
the state's $1 billion budget gap. RDC
is on the Executive Committee of a new
citizens group that will be directing the
campaign. The group, "Vote Yes Protect
Alaska's Future," includes a broad
spectrum of Alaskans.
Governor Tony Knowles signs into law an
advisory vote on the Balanced Budget
Plan.
The organization will spend three
months educating Alaskans on why
they should endorse the Balanced
Budget Plan and how doing nothing
would put Alaska's economic future
and the dividend at risk.
The proposal that will be going
before Alaskans this fall would
consolidate the State's Constitutional

Anchorage to oppose beluga whale listing
Senator Ted Stevens has pushed
through a hunting ban on Cook Inlet
beluga whales as part of a larger budget
bill signed by President Clinton late last
month, and the Municipality of
-~nchorage will oppose a move by
· --environmentalists to list the species as
endangered under the federal
Endangered Species Act.
The Stevens ban halts hunting this
summer until Native groups hammer
out a co-management agreement with
the National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS). Federal officials report that a
voluntary effort among Natives to stop
hunting of belugas in Cook Inlet ap-
pears to be holding, but efforts for a
long-term agreement on hunting the
whales have been stymied by a dispute
between Cook Inlet tribal governments
and Natives from other parts of Alaska.
NMFS hopes to come up with an
agreement that will limit Native hunters
to a small number of whale strikes until
the population rebounds.
Federal biologists claim the beluga
population in Cook Inlet has declined
by half in the paSt four years. Native
hunting is believed to be the chief rea-
son behind the decline. Hunters took 78
whales last year, biologists report.
NMFS says the current population,

Clinton may use Antiquities Act to ban use of public land
With the 2000 presidential election
around the corner, the Clinton
administration is planning to ban most
public uses on 5 million acres of federal
land in six states, including Alaska, to
win points with environmental voters
and bolster its environmental record,
according to reliable sources and media
reports.
Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt is
expected to use his regulatory authority
to halt mining, grazing, logging and oil
and gas exploration on public lands. In
many cases, all recreational uses.

appease the extreme environmentalists
who have this on their agenda and want
this to happen. In the next 18 months we
will see a significant movement to usurp
congressional authority."
Babbitt may ask President Clinton
to use the Antiquities Act to declare
some of the five million acres as national
monuments. Many Alaskans remember
when President Carter evoked the
Antiquities Act twenty years ago to set
land aside in Alaska for preservation.
History may soon repeat itself as
the 1.5 million-acre ANWR Coastal
Plain, America's hottest onshore oil
prospect, is at the top of the
administration's hit list. President Clinton
received kudos from environmentalists
when he used the act during the 1996
presidential election to create the 1.7
million-acre Grand Staircase-Escalante
National Monument in Utah to stop
mining and other development.
Also on the list is 2.6 million acres of
proposed Wilderness in Utah, as well as
505,350 acres in Arizona. Several miles
of the Upper Missouri River in Montana
is also being considered for national
park or refuge status.
In a written statement, Babbitt's
office said Republicans should be
helping the administration draft
legislation to protect the five million acres
in the western states from "big mining
companies, the big oil companies and
the big developers who want to chop up
what's left of their unspoiled American
public lands."
Removing these lands from future
exploration will hurt local communities
by eliminating jobs and tax revenues. It
will also increase America's dependency
on foreign oil.
"Their goal is to turn public lands
into a museum -- where all of the people
are on the outside looking in," said Laura
Skaer, exeCutive director of the
Northwest Mining Association. "1 think
they have quietly declared a new war
on the West. I expect Clinton will find all
sorts of national monuments to start
popping up between now and November
2OOO."
Republican lawmakers and industry
sources say it appears the
administration has launched an
orchestrated campaign to preclude
mining on vast acreages of public lands
that is suppose to be managed for
multiple uses. The administration is
reportedly doing this without consulting
Congress and without soliciting public
input or independent scientific review.
In a letter to his Senate colleagues,
Senator Murkowski pointed to a May ?
National Journal article in which Babb,.
is quoted as saying' "We've switched
the rules of the game. We're not trying
to do anything legislatively."
GOP lawmakers are hoping to fend
off the administration through new
legislation to amend the Antiquities Act.
Senator Larry Craig of Idaho is pushing
one bill which would ensure public and
congressional participation in the
establishment of new national
monuments. The bill would not only
require full public participation, but
environmental compliance and
congressional ratification. The bill would
also require the Interior Department to
determine the value of minerals and
surface natural resources before making
a recommendation to the president.
"Our general concern and
frustration is what the administration
did in Southern Utah they could do
everywhere else in the country, and
that they were unwilling to work with
Congress," said Craig. The idaho
statesman noted the Antiquities Act h&
become a political tool and not a means
to protect unique environmental assets.

called the Alaska Income Account.
Exactly 5.88% of the Permanent Fund's
annual earnings would be placed into
this account annually, with 50 percent
of those deposits, averaged over five
years, going toward dividends.
In 1999 and 2000, the dividend will
be guaranteed at a minimum of $1,700.
The following year, it is anticipated that
the dividend will be approximately
.$1,340 and will continue to grow with
the value of the Permanent Fund itself.
No income tax is required under the
plan. The Balanced Budget Plan will be
Permanent Fund earnings and the
state's CBR account to create an
endowment is a good way to bring
much-needed revenues to the deficit."
Freeman explained that budget cuts
and increases in state efficiencies have
helped reduce the deficit, but cannot
come close to filling the $1 billion gap.
He said RDC's message has been
consistent- there must be a plan to
address the gap and the time has come
to utilize the earnings of the Permanent
Fund.
"The bipartisan support for
this plan that balances the
budget and protects the
dividend program is a
positive step for Alaska
and puts us on the way
toward a sound financial
future."

RDC Executive Director Ken Free-
man warned that the growing budget
deficit is a significant threat to Alaska's
economy. He said the long-range fiscal
plan will put Alaska on secure financial
footing for the future.
"The state's rising fiscal gap creates
an image of fiscal .instability which in
turn generates uncertainty among
potential and existing industry
investors," Freeman said. "Combining

makers believe it is now time to begin
using Permanent Fund earnings to bring
stability to public budgeting.
Alaskan voters created the
Permanent Fund in 1976 with the
University of Alaska President Mark
Hamilton speaks in favor of the measure at
June's bill signing ceremony.
purpose of saving some of the value of
the non-renewable oil resources for a.
time when those resources ran out. In
1976. that day of reckoning was
expected to be sometime in the 1990s,
when Prudhoe Bay was predicted to be
depleted. Technological advances
extended the life of the field by many
years, but now historically Iow oil prices
have collided with falling production to
create a billion dollar budget deficit.
Various proposals have been put
on the table to fill this gap, including
new income tax, a statewide sales tax
and extreme reductions in state
spending. While the proposed income
tax could raise an estimated $350
million, it would also require a new
bureaucracy to administer it.
Legislators have cut state spend-
ing by nearly $1 billion over the past
decade and filled the gap in the budget
since 1982 by drawing more than $3.4
billion from savings accounts, but the
State cannot continue to draw down
those accounts. The State has right
now a window of opportunity to make
the changes needed to fix the fiscal gap
because it still has enough money in
(Continued to page 5)
"It has been said before and it bears
repeating: doing nothing is not a
responsible option. If we do not act
now, our only alternatives will be
drastic cuts to essential state
services, suppressive taxes, or
possibly a comb/nation of the two."

Actual Oil Production (.m bblld.)
J P role ct e a Oil P rd d uctio n (m b b l/d )
The long-term decline in oil production means, regardless of price, oil revenues can no longer fund the lion's share of our state budget.
North Slope production, now in its third decade, has fallen too far to ever again carry the entire state budget on its financial shoulders.
,Fiscal plan: Now is the
time to act for Alaska's future
(Continued from page 4)
savings to make a solution work.
"The bipartisan support forthis plan
that balances the budget and protects
the dividend program is a positive step
for Alaska and puts us on the way
toward a sound financial future" said
Governor Knowles. "Alaskans' choice
is whether to diversify how we pay for
public services -- or to continue relying
on fluctuating oil prices and production."
"We are at a significant juncture in
our state's history," said Senate
President Drue Pearce. "Together, the
Senate, House and administration have
developed a realistic, workable, long-
range plan that can be used to close the
state's ongoing fiscal gap. We think the
long-range plan we are asking Alaskans
to judge offers the best solution for
Alaska's economic security."
"It has been said before and it bears
repeating' doing nothing is not a
' ]'esponsible option," said House Majority
/'Leader Rep. Joe Green. "If we do not
act now, our only alternatives will be
drastic cuts to essential state services,
suppressive taxes, or possibly a
combination of the two."
What is the impact of doing nothing?
· Under the current system, the continued payout of dividends is
not guaranteed. The likely reversal of the bull market, combined
with the required statutory inflation proofing of the Permanent
Fund and population growth could severely impact the dividend.
· Doing nothing to change the current budget system means that
within six years Alaska's savings accounts -- the Constitutional
Budget Reserve and the Earnings Reserve -- would be gone. At
present spending levels, the CBR would be exhausted by 2003.
· Large statewide taxes would have to be imposed on individual
Alaskans and Alaska businesses and industries.
· Draconian costs would be required, impacting essential state
services such as education, transportation and public safety.
Why cuts alone and rising oil prices won't balance the budget
· Alaska has cut its budget by $1 billion in the past decade.
Balancing the budget through new cuts alone would mean
eliminating programs and services most Alaskans deem essential.
· The budget gap would remain even if oil prices rise significantly.
That's because North Slope oil production is steadily declining.

Beluga issue
raises serious
concerns
(Continued from page 1)
estimated at 347 last summer, can sus-
tain a harvest of two percent, which
would be seven whales. Such a harvest
would slow the recovery of the beluga
population, but it would be a small frac-
tion of the harvest from previous years.
Some Native leaders have
challenged the accuracy of the
population estimate, calling it too low.
They note that the purported magnitude
of the population decrease is suspect
because current numbers, derived from
using a recently-revised counting
methodology, are compared to old
numbers which have not been adjusted
to the new methodology.
Seven environmental groups and
one individual have filed a petition with
NMFS seeking to designate the whale
as endangered and to establish Cook
Inlet as a critical habitat area for belugas.
If granted, these designations will
have a significant impact on all activities
occurring in and around Cook Inlet.
Because of concerns how the
designation would affect economic
development, the Municipality of
Anchorage will oppose the listing of the
belugas as endangered. The
Municipality favors a co-management
agreement between NMFS and Native
hunters.
"We believe listing is premature be-
cause scientific evidence shows that over
harvesting of the whales is the main cause
of decline," said Sherman Ernouf, spokes-
man for Mayor Rick Mystrom. "Ernouf said
an endangered species listing could un-
necessarily add additional regulatory bur-
den to a wide range of activities, including
shipping, tourism, oil and gas operations,
commercial and sport hunting, dredging to
clear shipping channels and discharge
permits for treated sewage.
Brian Crewdson, Assistant to the
General Manager of Anchorage Water
and Wastewater Utility, said federal officials
might require a special filtration system to
be installed at the city's main treatment
plant if the beluga were listed.
That could cost the city up to $500
million, resulting in multi-fold price hikes
for Anchorage residents and
businesses.
"Almost everyone agrees hunting
is the main issue." Crewdson said.
"We've been doing lots of monitoring of
Cook Inlet and there is no evidence that
development activities are contributing
to the problem."
Patricia DeMarco, President of the
Anchorage Economic Development
Corporation, urged the Anchorage
Assembly to oppose the listing. "There
is a great deal at stake here for our
community," DeMarco said. "We've had
one slip past us."
"Almost everyone agrees
hunting is the main issue.
We've been doing lots of.
monitoring of Cook Inlet
and there is no evidence
that development activities
are contributing to the
problem."
- Brian Crewdson
AWWU
Just last month environmentalists
demanded that the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers halt the long-planned
dredging of a shipping channel in Cook
Inlet, citing the declining beluga
population. The two-year, $12.6 million
project is intended to deepen the
channel so larger ships can navigate
into the Port of Anchorage at Iow tide,
saving shippers as much as $2 million
a year.
Roger Graves, Environmental
Affairs Manager at the Port of
Anchorage, said the project "is not going
to do any damage to anyone or anything
out in Cook Inlet."
Meanwhile, the Corps and NMFS
have implemented special measures to
protect the whales from any potential
negative impacts from the dredging
operation.
The recent challenge to the dredg-
ing is only a sign of what is to come if
NMFS moves forward with a listing,
according to RDC Executive Director
Page 6 / RESOURCE REVIEW / July 1999
Ken Freeman. "The implications of such
a listing are striking and widespread,"
Freeman said. "Environmental interer
could use the beluga whale as a tool.
obstruct activities in Cook Inlet which
comprise the backbone of Southcentrai
Alaska's economy."
Freeman noted that since
development activities are not the cause
of the declining beluga population, they
shouldn't be considered part of the
solution. He voiced serious concern
about the added costs of additional
regulation to Southcentral Alaska's
resource industries and the affect on
general commerce in the region if a
listing occurs.
"The best approach to the beluga
issue is to keep focusing on the problem
and avoid using the whale as yet another
tool to unnecessarily penalize our
resource industries," Freeman said.
RDC and other Alaska
organizations have requested NMFS to
reopen the status review on Cook Inlet
belugas so Alaskans can provide input
to the agency based on new information
which has become available since th'-
review was initiated in November 19c,.
NMFS has rejected these requests and
suggests instead that if a listing is
proposed, the public will have an
opportunity to comment on that
proposal. This is unacceptable to RDC
as it is critical that Alaskans have an
opportunity to submit comments to
NMFS before it makes any decision on
a designation.
"To our knowledge, NMFS has
never backed away once it makes a
listing proposal," said Freeman.

Education Fund to the RDC board at its
Annual Meeting in Anchorage last month.

Louisiana Pacific Corporation (LPC)
is in final negotiations to sell its Ketchikan
Pulp Company subsidiary to Gateway
Forest Products, a new Southeast
Alaska company.
"After a thorough examination of
our options and close consultation with
our board, we have chosen to sell our
remaining operations in Southeast
Alaska," said Mark Suwyn, Chairman
of LPC. "While the region has a plentiful
supply of renewable resources and an
excellent work force, we were not able
to justify a continued presence given
recently reduced levels of timber avail-
able from the U.S. Forest Service."
A large wood products and pulp
manufacturer operating in Southeast
Alaska for decades, LPC, through its
subsidiary, Ketchikan Pulp Company,
Louisiana Pacific to sell Ketchikan operation
has scaled back its operations over the
past several years due to reductions in
timber available from federal lands in
the area. Until recently, LPC had been
negotiating with federal officials for a
timber supply sufficient to operate a
value-added veneer mill it was prepar-
ing to build in the region.
Gateway, whose top executives will
include several professionals from the
Southeast Alaska wood products
industry, intends to operate a veneer
facility in Ketchikan. As a local business,
the company will be well situated to
compete and qualify for federal timber
sales in the region.
"Our hope is that the purchasing
company can continue to provide jobs
for the employees and an economic
livelihood for the region," said Suwyn.
LPC helped pioneer logging in the
Tongass National Forest as it was one
of two major companies to win long-
term timber supply contracts in the
1950s when the federal government
took action to expand the area's eco-
nomic base by establishing a viable
timber industry in the region. But a
crusade by environmental interests with
help from the Clinton administration
resulted in a series of administrative
actions which sharply curtailed logging
and closed all but a small fraction of the
Tongass to harvesting.
While U.S. Senator Frank
Murkowski said he was pleased to see
Gateway in final negotiations to buy
Ketchikan Pulp Company, he blasted
the Forest Service for forcing big timber
companies out of Southeast Alaska.
brief
review
Winners pay $104 million
to drill in petro reserve
Oil companies with wihning bids will
pay $104 million for leases in the National
Petroleum Reserve-Alaska. A total of 425
tracts on 3.9 million acres were offered by
the BLM in the May lease sale.
Six oil companies submitted 174 bids
on 133 tracts. The overwhelming number of
bids were focused in the northeast corner of
the lease sale area on tracts rated as having
high potential for oil and gas discoveries.
The federal government will share the
proceeds with the State of Alaska on a 50-
50 basis. The last lease sale that generated
revenue was held in 1983 and earned $21.5
million.
Cominco wins Alaska
Exporter of the Year Award
RDC Board member John Key, General
Manager of the Red Dog Mine, accepted
~e Alaska Export Council's Exporter of the
Year Award at the group's annual banquet
in Anchorage May 20.
Key noted Cominco exports 1 billion
pounds of zinc concentrate a year from Red
Dog, the world's largest zinc mine.
Key credited the Alaska Industrial
Development and Export Authority, as well
as its partner, NANA Regional Corporation,
for Red Dog's success. The mine. which is
located Northeast of Kotzebue. produces
eight percent of the world's annual zinc
production.
MIX module is set
for North SloPe delivery
This 2,700-ton compressor module being
constructed at the Port of Anchorage, is the
largest oil field production module ever
assembled in Alaska. The module is part of
the Miscible injectant Expansion (MIX)
project. It will be delivered to the North
Slope this summer by barge. Installation of
the module will add 20.000 barrels of
incremental oil production per day at
Prudhoe Bay and increase ultimate Prudhoe
Bay fiquids recovery by 50 million barrels.
The project is managed by ARCO Alaska
and is being built with its partners. BP Amoco
and Exxon. Lead contractor is VECO
Corporation.
RDC greets energy chief
RDC co-hosted a reception in Anchorage
with the Alliance and other organizations
welcoming Energy Secretary Bill Richardson
to Alaska. Richardson joined Senator Frank
Murkowski on a visit to Alaska, which
included .a tour of North S/ope oil fields,
Barrow and other sites. Pictured above is
RDC's Ken Freeman with Richardson.
RDC delegation meets
with new water chief
A delegation of RDC board members
recently met with Randy Smith, the new
incoming director of EPA's Region 10 Water
Office. The delegation focused on a number
of water quality issues, including 401
certifications, stream reclassifications,
mixing zones, modification of extended
permits, general permits for placer mining,
log transfer facilities and regulations which
poorly reflect Alaska's unique
circumstances. RDC board members
delivered industry's perspective to the new
incoming director.
