Williams and City. Council Members Richard A. Ross, City Manager~ August 24, 1999 Ordinance 1839-99 Ordinance 1839-99 appropriates $200,000 from the Airport fund and a $250,000 grant from the legislature for design of a maintenance/ARFF/warm storage facility at the Kenai Municipal Airport. Neither the Airport Fund nor. the General Fund is in a position at the present time to ft~,d construction of these projects. After meetings with FAA on fimding and land use issues, and with Mayor Williams on an assessment of the City's lobbying capabilities, the Administration recommends that Council pass Ordinance 1839-99 and proceed as detailed below. 1. ARFF/Warm Storage Facility An Airport equipment warm storage building has been programmed on the AIP funding list for some time. Recently the FAA agreed to support discretionary funding for an on-Airport ARFF facility to enable the fire rescue crews to meet the mandated response time. The FAA has tentatively agreed to support construction of a combined warm storage/ARFF building with direct airport ramp access. Funding for this project will come primarily from Federal AIP entitlement and discretionary funds. The administration recommends we proceed with engineering to the final design stage and have this project ready for funding application to the FAA in April, as per their request. 2. Maintenance Facility FAA land utilization guidelines do not support this as a joint facility to be constructed with the ARFF/warm storage building. They are reviewing our request to co-locate this facility on the same parcel of land as the ARFF/wann storage, however the maintenance facility does not meet FAA criteria for building on ramp access property. No funding source has been identified for this facility. Mayor John J. Williams and City Council Members August 24, 1999 Page 2 of 2 Based on the FAA's response and the lack of a funding source for this project, the recommendation is that we proceed with preliminary design only. Final design will take place once a site has been selected and a funding source secured. This will assure not having to re-do final design work in the future and that cost estimates are current when fimds are obtained and bids are let. In summary, FAA appears willing to participate in and push the ARFF/wann storage facility. This is our most immediate need. The construction of this facility will take some pressure off the present shop until such time as funding for that project is found.

The City of Kenai (City) has requested that American Environmental estimate the costs for ddlling three soil bodngs with Hydro Punch water samples at the fuel ports on the tarmac, and ddli two monitoring wells downgradient from the pipeline. ~ In addition, I have presented anticipated costs for interacting with ADEC regarding the following topics: additional excavation at the tank site, pipeline abandonment, soil remediation and well sampling. Our proposed costs for drilling two monitoring wells, three soil borings, and sampling each of the five monitoring wells are summarized in the attached spreadsheet. This proposal has been wdtten with the understanding that a workplan will not have to be developed for the project because the d~tails have been discussed with ADEC in advance. Approximately 200 cubic yards of contaminated soil were removed from the excavation and stockpiled. Based on the analytical sample results collected from these soils, it appears that the City may be able to dispose of the matedal by incorporating it into road construction, spreading the soils on site, or land farming. We have budgeted eight hours for exploring these options. Approximately 200 yards of contaminated soil remains in place in the tank excavation. We are exploring the options available under the new regulations for leaving the soil in place. Toward this goal, we are proposing to collect five total .organic carbon samples for the new ddlling locations, and have budgeted six hours for dealing with ADEC on the issue. Purge water form monitoring well sampling and deVelopment is stored in 55-gallon drums at the Maintenance Shop. We will generate additional soil and water from this round of sampling. Contaminated soil from the drilling investigation can be stockpiled with the tank excavation soils, but the development water will need to be disposed of by an approved method. Pdces for disPosal are included under the Ddlling Subcontractor section of the cost estimate. Please contact our office if you have any questions regarding this proposal. I will be glad to attend the City Council meeting if you anticipate the Council having any questions on this matter.

KENAI SENIOR CENTER CHAIR PEGGY ARN~S, PRF~IDING ITEM 1' CALL TO ORDER AND ROLL CALL Chair Peggy Arness called the meeting to order at approximately 10:02 a.m. in the Green Room of the Kenai Senior Center. Roll was taken as follows' Members Present: Enfield, Arness, Nelson, Hollier, Jones, Wiese (arrived at 10' 10 a.m.) and Jurgensen {arrived at 10' 12 a.m.). Members Absent: Meeks and Billings Others Present' City Clerk Carol Freas, Councilwoman Swarner, Public Works Manager Keith Kornelis and Director Kellie Kelso ITEM 2- AGENDA APPROVAL Director Kelso requested the Coastal Trail discussion be moved from New Business to immediately after the approval of the minutes. There were no objections to the request or the agenda. ITEM 3' APPROVAL OF MINUTES- April 27, 1999 MOTION: Member Hollier MOVED for approval of the April 27, 1999 Council on Aging meeting minutes and Member Nelson SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. ITEM 5-a: Kenai Coastal Trail/Bluff Restoration Project (Moved forward on agenda.) Public Works Manager Komelis explained, the erosion problems of the City of Kenai were recognized by the Peratrovich, Nottingham & Drage (PDN) engineering firm in 1998-99. They presented some ideas to the city of what might be done to slow the erosion or eliminate the problem. A reconnaissance study subsequently ordered by the city suggested bluff erosion procedures could be put into place and a coastal trail incorporated into the work. The city entered into a contract with PND to provide a project presentation package to include a detailed preliminary schematic design; a good survey of property ownership; fight-of-way ownership; aerial photographs; an accurate project cost estimate; cost estimate for right-of-way acquisition, etc. The reconnaissance study also suggested sloping be changed in some areas to prevent undercutting by wave action and that the trail be placed above the mean high tide level. The trail and bluff restoration project is proposed to begin at South Spruce and proceed approximately two miles upriver to the Pacific Seafoods cannery area. The plan would also include two to four places where a user could come off the trail (Meeks Crossing, Kenai Joe's, etc.). The project contract also provides for seVeral public hearings in order for the citizenry to have input into the project, ask questions, and be informed. The mailing list for the public hearings includes approximately 300 people, including the permitting agencies who will be involved in the project. Komelis noted, the first public hearing was held on August 24 and about 30 people attended it. PND took back the comments and information discussed and will consider incorporating that information into the plan, where appropriate. The next public hearing will also be noticed by mail and in the newspaper and will be held in about a month. Komelis added, after the public hearings are held and additional information is incorporated into the plan, the presentation package will be forwarded to council for their review. The presentation package will then be used for discussions with funding sources (federal and state). Komelis reviewed several photographs and drawings with the Council on Aging. Discussion followed regarding the types of restoration processes being considered and noted, the work could include both sloping and sheet piling. He also noted some b~ildings close to the edge of the bluff may need to be moved. The trail will be handicap-accessible except possibly in off-trail areas, which may have too much of a slope allowed by federal standards. It was also noted, the Parks & Recreation Department would maintain the trail during the summer months and ski clubs and schools may be maintaining proposed cross-country ski use during the winter. Komelis also reported, the presentation package is to be completed by the end of November at which time it will be used for presentations to funding sources. A main concern voiced at the recent public hearing was the damage that could be done to the dunes when the direction of the water is changed by the project. The engineer is aware of that concern and is investigating what might happen and what can be done to avoid damage to the dunes. Adding a breakwater is one consideration to protect the dunes. The membership was generally in favor of the project and were appreciative to Komelis in making the presentation. ITEM 4: OLD BUSINESS Discussion - Grant Report Kelso reported the grant process was finished and it was successful. She noted funds were approved by United Way, Title 3, Title 5 and the Borough. She will prepare an overall budget for the next meeting. COUNCIL ON AGING MEETING MINUTES AUGUST 26, 1999 PAGE 2 Discussion - Bluff Warning Kelso noted this concern was discussed at the Council on Aging April meeting when it was reported many times children attending rental functions at the Center play along the edge of the bluff, endangering themselves to falling, etc. Kelso reported she discussed the concern with City Attorney Graves and informed him of the membership's suggestion signs be placed along the bluff. They came to the conclusion signs may not help the situation and instead would include in the rental agreement a notice regarding the bluff and that children should be supervised. ITEM 5' NEW BUSINESS Discussion- Kenai Coastal Trail/Bluff Restoration Project. Discussed before Old Business. 5-b. Discussion- Older Americans Act Renewal Kelso reported the federal Older Americans Act, which allows for transportation, home-delivered and congregate meals, and other currently available services to the C, enter, was now before Congress for reauthorization. She referred to a draft reholution (included in the packet) which she had prepared for the members to review. If they approved, the resolution could then be forwarded to the City Council for their consideration. She noted, the resolution recommended the City Council approve the resolution which supported the reauthorization of the Act and forward it to the Alaska congressional delegation. MOTION: Member Nelson MOVED to approve the draft resolution and send it on to the council for their consideration.' Member Enfield SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. It was noted, the resolution would be included on the September 1, 1999 council meeting agenda. Morning Membership/Board Outreach Kelso reported there seemed to be a decline in seniors' use of the Center in the mornings. She noted, there is a lot of participation in the lunches and programs, however. Kelso explained they lost those seniors who came to the Center in the morning for coffee and who attracted others to sit and chat. Kelso stated she discussed the matter with her staff and they were investigating what they could do to COUNCIL ON AGING MEETING MINUTES AUGUST 26, 1999 PAGE 3 entice seniors to use the facility in the mornings, i.e. starting the muffins and cinnamon roll availability. They were looking for other suggestions from the seniors. Kelso noted, there may be some need for those who have used the facility for some time, to speak to other seniors and inform them of what is available. Jurgensen stated, because he was new to the facility, he had not been sure if there was cost involved, or if he would be imposing on the staff to use the facility in the morning. was decided the seniors should advertise by word-of-mouth what is available and encourage other seniors, who may be new to the facility, to get involved. Enfield suggested boxes of cereal could be made available along with the muff'ms, etc. It ITEM 6: PERSONS WANTING TO BE HEARD Councilwoman Swamer reported she was running for re-election to the council and was recently elected as Vice Mayor by the council. Jones asked for a.report on the 12-passenger van. Kelso reported the van would be in Redmond, Washington on September 12. She noted, one of the city shop employees will travel to Redmond to inspect the van prior to its being shipped to Alaska. Kelso added, she had not been aware of the employee needing to travel to make the inspection, which includes airfare and an overnight accommodation.

ITEM 6: NEW BUSINESS Discussion - Airport Regulations Review Thibodeau noted the city manager requested the Commission review the Airport Regulations over the next three months and forward amendments. Cronkhite stated her intent was to get input and suggested changes from the Commission. Councilman Bannock explained, the council wanted the code reviewed and suggested changes made where the code/regulations are completely outdated, being ignored or causing a problem. The council was not asking the Commission to edit the code/regulations. The council will then be reviewing the information and consider amendments during the winter months. The Commission continued with a paragraph-by-paragraph review of the first six chapters of the Airport Regulations and made the following suggested changes' 1.05, Authority: 1.05.010(a)' A length discussion took place in regard to code and statute references made in this section. Request the City Attorney to include specific statute referring to authority given the city if necessary. 1.05.010(b)' Reference to "...conduct of all persons flying within a five mile radius..." was made by who Bielefeld felt the rule to control conduct of persons flying within a five-mile radius was out of the city's realm. A lengthy discussion followed. Because noise abatement could be a concern in regard to the five-mile radius, Cronkhite noted she was developing a noise abatement policy. Bielefeld also asked if the city would be liable if there was an airport-related accident w/thin the five-mile radius. Request the City Attorney to review and advise whether changes need to be made. 2.05, Definitions- 2.05.010, Definitions' Cronkhite will review the list and amend with new terms and definitions used in the industry. 4.05, Aeronautical Activities: 4.05.010(a)' Aeronautical Activities, paragraph (b)' Concern was stated regarding the duty of the manager to "...restrain in any manner necessary..." a person "...who is physically incapacitated or mentally irresponsible by virtue of intoxication or the effects of drugs..." from. board and/or operate an aircraft. Request the City Attorney to review. 4.05.010(c)' Knackstedt questioned the phrase "duty and privilege" in regard to "...person witnessing the transgression..." Request the City Attorney to review. 4.05.010(e)' Add "or designee" after Airport Manager. 4.05.010 (g) through (j)' Delete. 5.05, Vehicle Operation and Regulations' 5.05.010(a)' In regard to the approval of a motor vehicle in areas designated for the use of aircraft by the Airport Manager, it was suggested "control tower" or AIRPORT COMMISSION MEETING AUGUST 12, 1999 PAGE 2 "Airport Manager office" be added to expand the area of approval in case the Airport Manager is not available. A long discussion followed in which signage was suggested for placement on uncontrolled areas of the airport. The signs would say, "Unauthorized use restricted from the area." It was also suggested this portion be deleted from the regulations and refer to an "airport driving manual" that would clearly define what is allowed or not allowed. Holland noted a manual is currently given to 'the ramp personnel who have to read it before working on the ramp. Amend to include "as authorized to restrict movement on the airport for safety or security reasons." 5.05.010(c): Change "equipment" to "vehicle." 5.05.010(d): Remove "motor scooter, truck or other." 5.05.010(h): Change reference to "FAA Control Tower" to "ACTC." 5.05.010(i): regulations. Cronkhite to rewrite to incorporate federal security 5.05.010~): Cronkhite to rewrite and incorporate amended definitions and verbiage to make the person responsible for interfering during an emergency condition on the field. 5.05.010(k): changes. Cronkhite to review OSHA standards, etc. and make necessary 5.05.010(1): Cronkhite to discuss with the Fire Department in regard to "inflammable" reference. 5.05.010(n): Rewrite in regard to distance from edge of runway, radio contact, and clearance from tower. 5.05.010(p): Rewrite "positively grounded" as defined by NFBA regulations. 6.05, Parking: 6.05.010(b): Define "ramp." 6.05.010(c)' Consider saying "vehicles will be parking concurrent with siEnage" or leave it as it is. 6.05.020: A lengthy discussion followed regarding the towing contract being fee-based and the City of Kenai participate in acquiring revenue from the towing of vehicles. It was suggested to either eliminate the restriction of parking in this lot or enforce or pursue those who park there from 3:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m. like any other parking restriction in the city. It was noted parking fees are one of the AIRPORT COMMISSION MEETING AUGUST 12, 1999 PAGE 3 largest sources of revenue for an airport and maybe consideration should be given to changing the term of what is short term parking (one hour?). Van Zee to rewrite this portion and submit for review. 6.05.030: Favretto stated a suggestion made to him was to have an annual fee tag for long-term parking. It was pointed out there was that type of system available currently and those using the tags park in a separate location. Approximately 30 tags are issued a year and the cost per tag is $250 a year. It was suggested the last sentence be changed to say, "The Airport Manager, with the concurrence of the City Manager, may establish fee parking at the airport." Cronkhite noted, leavin§ latitude in the regulations did not mean the current parking situation would be changed as it appeared the council and community were satisfied with the current parking operation. 6.05.060(a): It was suggested the specifics be eliminated and Appendix 1 be referred to the current FAA definition. Also, if there is designated parking for aircraft there would be appropriate signage. 6.05.060(b)(c)(d): Cronkhite noted these paragraphs needed to be updated and explained, if an aircraft was needing to be impounded other than "in place," the airport would contract with a licensed FBO aircraft mechanic to two the aircraft, etc. Also the wording should include the city would then be reimbursed for those costs by the owner prior to release of the aircraft and where the aircraft would be stored. Cronkhite win be updating these paragraphs. 6.05.070(b): EHminate VOR checkpoint from wording. Discussion- Foreign Trade Zones Cronkhite noted information regarding foreign trade zones was included in the packet for the Commission's review. Acting Executive Director of the Economic Development District, Jim Elson offered to speak to the Commission at a future meeting. Favretto suggested Assemblyman Tim Navarre or Mayor Williams make the presentation as they have been more involved in the discussions thus far. Also, Navarre has a video about trade zones that may be of interest to the Commission. Thibodeau suggested the matter be brought to the Commission in a future meeting (November or December). Discussion- Lobby Seating Holland reviewed information included in the packet regarding new seating for the lobby area of the terminal building. He explained, the present seating was low and hard for some to get up from, lacked arm rests, had a long base, and did not meet ADA requirements. He noted, the new seating would also include some attached tables for AIRPORT COMMISSION MEETING AUGUST 12, 1999 PAGE 4 placing drinks, etc. which could help in circumventing spills and stares to the carpet. He noted, the types of seating shown in the material are used nationwide and are leaders in the industry. Holland also reported, the new seating would be placed in the primary seating area of the terminal. However, it would not be possible to replace all the seating due to the expense and the amount of funds included in the budget. Cronkhite noted, the seats would be replaced over the next few years and the older seating, because it was still in very good condition, would be used in other areas of the terminal building. Approximately 25 seats will be purchased at approximately $19,000, including freight. After hearing the cost for the seating, Van Zee suggested contacting the Wildwood Correctional Facility to see if the inmates would be able to build the seating. Cronkhite also reported they were also accumulating information from other airports as to serviceability and types of seating used in their facilities. Thibodeau stated he believed there were a lot of stains on the carpet but were not limited to the a.rea around the seating. Holland noted, they were focused around the seating. Thibodeau stated he would prefer no eating or drinks be allowed anywhere in the terminal other than the restaurant. Cronkhite noted, there would be no way to enforce that type of a rule. She reported a contractor had been hired to commercially clean the carpets and that she had been told approximately 90% of the stains would be removed from the cleaning. She added, there was money included in the budget to replace the carpet, however, she believed the problem was a maintenance problem and that would be addressed first. If the cleaning can extend the life of the carpet, purchase of new carpet and installation will be avoided for this fiscal year. Cronkhite also reported new garbage receptacles were being ordered for use in the bathrooms at the terminal because paper towel dispensers will be installed in the bathrooms because of custodial problems experienced from people avoiding use of the hand dryers. The receptacles will be those designed for use outdoors so that if the paper towel use in the bathrooms doesn't work, the receptacles can be used outside and there won't be any waste of funds. Cronkhite requested concurrence from the Commission in regard to the new seating. Thibodeau stated he was glad to see the current seating would be used in other places in the terminal. He added, he thought it would be a good idea to check with the prison as to their ability to produce the equipment. Cronkhite added, additional information would be available at the next Commission meeting. MOTION: Commissioner Favretto MOVED to allow Cronkhite to move forward with finding replacements for the seating area and provide information at the next meeting. Commissioner Van Zee SECONDED the motion. AIRPORT COMMISSION ME~ING AUGUST 12, 1999 PAGE 5 Knackstedt asked if the attached tables was a priority for which type of equipment is purchased. He noted the examples did not all show tables attached. He also noted, the ADA requirements should be the first priority. Holland answered, all the examples could be configured with tables, are made of metal, have vinyl seating with no seams showing or few seams, cannot be easily tom, and are designed for reupholstering. VOTE: There were no objections. MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. ITEM 7: AIRPORT MANAGER'S REPORT- No report. ITEM 8: COMMISSIONER COMMENTS AND 0UESTIONS Thibodeau- Reported he would be gone October, November, December and January. Vice-Chair Knackstedt is to conduct the meetings.

Ed Flannigan, Commissioner of Labor/1~ Work Force Development--- Award Presentation/Sewer Treatment Plant Operation. Commissioner Flannigan and Deputy Commissioner Dwight Perkins were introduced to the council and audience. Flannigan explained, the State of Alaska received federal funding to participate in a Federal OSHA program which stressed cooperation between employers and OSHA safety inspectors. He noted, the Voluntary Protection Program was developed for larger employers and the first award in that program was given to Prudhoe Bay. The second program, Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP) is the award being given to the city's wastewater treatment facility (the first recipient of the award). He noted, the programs were developed to leverage private/public resources beyond the enforcement agencies and work with employers/employees to exceed federal standards. Flannigan noted, the industry of wastewater treatment plants is a high-hazard industry and the city's employees have done a commendable job in establishing a good record and culture of safety and quality improvement in worker safety and h~alth issues. He added, the city's program will be a model for other city departments and cities to follow. Flannigan commended Public Works Manager Keith Komelis and the plant employees; Gerry Alien, Fred Macvie and Jerry Potter. Flannigan also commended the council and administration for having this great program. The award was presented to Mayor Williams, Komelis and the STP staff. Rick Baldwin- Multi-Purpose Facility Update. Baldwin gave his address as 3080 Kim-N-Ang, Kenai. Baldwin reported the Nikiski High School was donating their rink boards to the project. Letters are being exchanged to confm the donation. A group of volunteers will move the boards and put them in place. The LLC will continue as a funding source and they are considering setting up a volunteer organization to get other community members involved if necessary. Baldwin noted, the Zamboni would be their next acquisition. He added, they hoped to find a corporate sponsor to purchase a new one and would have the sponsor's name placed on the side of the equipment as a constant advertisement. Baldwin added, they have been in contact with EDD who is able to take donations through their 501(c)(3) status and contacts are being made. The city will ultimately take ownership of the Zamboni. Baldwin also reported the LLC was continuing in its effort to receive funding from the bank. There is a lot of community support for the project and Sue Carter has agreed KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES' AUGUST 18, 1999 PAGE 7 to be the project coordinator for the LLC. Baldwin added, he did not anticipate any problems at this time and thanked the city administration for working with them. When asked the timeline for pouring the foundation, Public Works Manager La Shot stated he believed it would be poured when the contractor gets the Challenger project further along.

Historic District Board- Moore reported the next meeting should be held on the third Monday in September. D-7-c. Kenai Visitors/l~ Convention Bureau Board- Bookey stated no meeting had been held recently. D-7-d. Alaska Municipal League Report- Williams noted, council had requested additional information in regard to the AML Conference to be held in the Kenai/Soldotna area in November and reported the following: · The City of Soldoma waived the $16,000 Sports Center fee and would be holding a reception during the conference. · The Borough was donating $5,000 and would be holding a reception. · The City of Kenai included $3,000 in its Legislative Miscellaneous budget to cover the costs of a reception. Williams requested an additional $2,000 be donated by the city toward the conference costs. A long discussion followed during which it was questioned for what the additional funds would be used. Williams suggested they would be used to offset other costs, i.e. conference coordinator, etc. However, Williams agreed to speak with Mayor Lancaster to get a better idea of the budget for the event and additional expenses. Williams noted, the city had been a major supporter of the AML over the years and that AML is the city's legislative watchdog. He also noted, the city would not be incurring any transportation costs this year for council to attend the conference because it would be held in the Soldotna/Kenai area. When asked, Williams noted the city's reception would be held at the ARFF. It was suggested the city could waive some other costs. Frazer stated, because there will be money spent in the city for hotels, motels, meals, etc. and because the city has been KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES' AUGUST 18, 1999 PAGE 9 an active member of AML, he would be reluctant to not support the conference. He added, he would approve the expenditure of the additional $2,000, but felt a detail of what the funds are used should be requested. Bookey stated his concern was that the budget was approved only a few months ago and already they were considering an item which had not been budgeted. He added, he would like to know for what the funds would be used. Swarner noted, she did not want to amend the budget this early in the fiscal year. Bannock stated he would treat the request like a change order and make his decision on what would be changed and why it is needed. Williams stated he would get more information and have the Clerk poll the council for their decision. Williams also requested council rent booth space at the conference and share the space with the Challenger Center. He suggested the costs for the booth could be paid from the Legislative advertising budget. Council had no objections to the $475 for the booth rental.

Discussion - Central Peninsula Habitat for Humanity, Inc. Request for Reimbursement of Costs Related to Habitat Acres Water and Sewer Installation/Colonial Drive & Linwood Street, Kenai. Williams referred to a letter from Barry Eldridge of the Central Peninsula Habitat for Humanity, Inc. and invoice from Foster Construction, Inc. in regard to Habitat's request for reimbursement of costs for placing water and sewer installation on Colonial Drive and Linwood Street. Williams noted, the street was not built to the city's specifications and the stumps and mud were buffed in the middle of the road. When Habitat excavated to hook into the water and sewer lines, the bury pit was dug into and additional excavation costs were incurred. Williams noted, the city has had a good relationship with Habitat for a number of years and has donated property for development of a home. He continued, the bill for the excavation work totaled $6,860.50. Barry Eldridge - 2679 Bowpicker Lane, Kenai. Eldridge explained, the bury pit was unexpected but they continued on and had the installation completed which included six service connections in the cul-de-sac in Habitat Acres (properties donated to them by the Borough). He noted, they had not budgeted for the extra work and it had a large impact on Habitat's finances. He noted, they projected two houses this year (one in Kenai and in Strawberry Lane} and installation of water and sewer for six services giving them six additional lots on which to build. Eldridge noted the city had investigated how the water/sewer work could be donated to Habitat in the past, but found it would not be possible. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES' AUGUST 18, 1999 PAGE 11 Bannock noted Habitat had requested council on two different occasions (at budget time) to place the water/sewer line and for a grant to have this work done. The requests were both denied. Williams noted, he believed the work was denied due to Davis-Bacon wage concerns and because the water/sewer lines would become the city's which negated the ability to give a grant for the work to be done. Moore noted Habitat had also requested the city to patch the pavement in front of their house on First Avenue which was also denied. Bookey asked administration what would happen if a private citizen or developer came and requested this type of reimbursement. Ross answered, administration did not recommend council grant the request because it was an expense that would fall to a developer. In this case, Habitat was the developer. Ross continued, the problem was not uncommon in the city, i.e. hitting bury pits in streets and rights-of-way which were not built to the city's specifications. He added, this area had not been accepted by the city for maintenance purposes. As far as the invoice, Ross explained, the city's costs would have been less if it had done the work itself. He added, if council determined to give an award, he would prefer it would be outside the consideration of the invoice or the project so that no precedent would be set. Williams noted the date on the bill was July 21 and asked if Foster had been asked if the bill would have been the same if a donation would have been made to Habitat or had the funding been raised to match Davis-Bacon costs, etc. Eldridge explained, when he initially heard about the problem, he was on a boat going to Seldovia. Phone calls were made back and forth and he told them to go ahead with the work. The inspector saw the problem and did some estimates on the materials, etc. and as the pit was dug into, the price escalated. Bannock asked if this was the bill received by Habitat and was there any other consideration from Foster Construction for payment of the bill? Eldridge answered, this was the bill they received and he contacted Foster Construction and requested a letter explaining the problems. He added, this was not a revised invoice. Williams noted the bill would represent about five years of property taxes for the five homes to be built in that area. If a grant was given for the amount, could it be made from the Water/Sewer Fund because it was funding the construction of water and sewer lines? If so, would there be sufficient non-obligated funds available in the fund? Finance Director Semmens stated he would not be able to answer the question without reviewing the code as to restrictive uses of Water and Sewer Fund money. Bannock asked, if this was an authorized city project,' from where would the funds be taken. Semmens answered, typically water and sewer projects are paid for with water and sewer funds. Bookey stated the project bothered him because council would be amending the budget that was just recently passed. He added, if council wanted to make a future donation to Habitat, that was one thing to review, but he was hesitant to allow this KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES' AUGUST 18, 1999 PAGE 12 expenditure because he felt it would open up for many developers to make similar types of requests. Bookey added, he felt bad for Habitat, but was not willing to put the responsibility on the rest of the citizenry to pay for it. Bannock asked if it was true 100% of water and sewer projects benefiting the citizens of Kenai were paid for by themselves and not the General Fund. Williams answered no, and added, the majority of water and sewer projects in the city had been paid for by State of Alaska grant funds. Bannock stated, the precedent had already been made. MOTION: Councilman Bannock MOVED to approve a repayment to Habitat for Humanity in the amount of $6,860.50 and have the administration figure out from where to get the money. Councilman Frazer SECONDED the motion. Williams stated he understood the implications of making a donation of this sort and thought council would continue to tell developers no when asked for similar help. However, in this instance, Habitat for Humanity is an international organization and h'as been very successful in furnishing homes in the community. He added, council we;uld be well-served and Habitat probably would be appreciative if half the amount could be reimbursed. Swarner stated she agreed with Bookey in regard to other developers digging into bury pits when placing water and sewer lines. She added, state grants have been used to place water and sewer lines. However those funds had been brought to public hearing and they had been included in the budget process, etc. Swamer added, she believed the concern was being side-stepped and she saw it as a change order. Williams noted, ff council agreed to pay half the cost, it would be over the $2,500 amount and would have to come to council for approval unless the administration could be instructed to go forward with the donation. Frazer stated he also had a problem with precedent, but as a council, they would have the ability to approve or deny requests from another developer. He added, he believed Habitat was a more benevolent operation than a developer. Frazer continued, he believed this was an organization doing a lot of good things in the city. He suggested the cost be negotiated, but wanted to find a way to help with the request. Bookey stated, he would not care who would come before council requesting this type of repayment, because he felt it was the wrong direction to go. He added, the amount had not been budgeted, it had not been discussed in the past, and it was the wrong opportunity to get involved, no matter who was making the request. Bookey KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES' AUGUST 18, 1999 PAGE 13 added, he believed council should listen to what administration was saying and if council wants to do something like this in the future, it should be discussed and appropriated at budget time. Bannock stated he would support the funding because he supported the same project two prior times. He continued, as far as absolute correctness regarding whether it had been budgeted, the request mirrored the earlier AML discussion. Bannock stated, he believed this donation would repay the city ten-fold more than the potential $5,000 to be given to the AML. VOTE: Swarner: Frazer' No Yes Moore: Williams: No Yes Bannock: Booker' Yes No MOTION FAILED. H-7o Discussion - Scheduling Board of Adjustment Hearing/Appeal of City of Kenai Planning & Zoning Commission Approval of Conditional Use Permit No. PZ99-24 for a Greenhouse, Gift Shop and Coffee Shop at 202 North Forest Drive, Kenai, by Bruce V. Alumbaugh. Removed from agenda. ITEM I: ADMINISTRATION REPORTS I-1. Mayor Williams referred to a letter included in the packet regarding the proposed Alaska gas pipeline which was signed by Borough Mayor Navarre, Soldoma Mayor Lancaster and Mayor Williams. He added, the letter noted two viable options remained; Valdez and Nikiski. Williams reported, the letter promoted the Nikiski site as the terminus of the pipeline. I-2. City Manager a. Airport Piping- Ross reported he, La Shot and the city's consultant met with representatives from DEC regarding the airport piping. He noted, the city's position continued to be non-removal. Ross added, he believed the city would receive cooperation from DEC in trying to cooperate with the city. He noted an ordinance was on the consent agenda to appropriate funds to testing and punching to see if there was free-floating material needing disposal. Ross noted, they were continuing discussions regarding additional soils from the tank removal. The soils which had been removed to the city shop were getting closer to being farmed, aerated, or fertilized (something other than being burned). ~NAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES' AUGUST 18, 1999 PAGE 14 Ross added, at the next council meeting, there would also be a resolution for council's consideration to follow up on the softs at the shop in order to prove more costly remediation will not be necessary and that remediation could be done on site.. Ross added, he believed it was a productive meeting and appropriations to carry out the city's end of the project would be before council at their next meeting. b. STP Scrubber- Ross reported, the STP had a scrubber which was outdated and no longer in use because l/quid chlorine is no longer used at the plant. There is a place in Anchorage who will take the equipment for free if the city transports it to Anchorage at the city's expense. The ARFF has a desire to use it for confined-space training and would trade the equipment for confined-space training of city employees. The code allows the city manager to trade equipment and, Ross added, he would go forward with the trade with ARFF if no objections were received from council. Bookey asked, would the equipment become the property of the ARFF or the managing partners of the ARFF facility? Ross answered, the equipment would be given to the PRISM organization for training of city personnel. There were no objections from council. Attorney- No report. I-4. City Clerk- Freas noted the candidate list for the October 5, 1999 city election was as follows: Candidates for two, one-year terms' Bill Frazer, Barry Eldridge, Kevin McDonald and Pat Porter. Candidates for two, three-year terms: Duane Bannock, Linda Swamer, Don Gough and Ozzie Osborne. I-5o Finance Director- No report. I-6. Public Works a. Coastal Trail/Bluff Restoration Project- Komelis reported the title had been changed to include "bluff restoration" on the project. Public hearings on the project will be called "workshops." Komelis added, the first workshop was scheduled for August 24, from 7-9:00 p.m. in the council chambers. He added, there was a large number of interested citizens who will receive individual notices about the workshop. b. Forest Drive/Redoubt Avenue Project - Komelis reported a reduction of water/sewer crossings was made to the project after the last plan review workshop. He added, the cost of the project rose and the city's portion of the cost was still in the $100,000 range. The crossings will be included in the bid as an additive alternate and would come back to the council for final consideration. Komelis also reported the drainage design was also changed after the last workshop and would now go down Third instead of Second Street. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES~ AUGUST 18, 1999 PAGE 15 Williams asked if Komelis thought a loop would need to be installed in the future to alleviate pressure drop problems in that area. Komelis answered yes, the crossings will be placed so they will be ready for future development. Bookey suggested those changes will require upgrades of main lines to the Mommsen Subdivision due to the current condition of the lines in that area and the increase in pressure on those lines. I-7. Airport Manager- No report. Councilman Bookey asked if the carpet had been cleaned in the terminal buflcling. Airport Manager Cronkhite answered, it had been cleaned over the weekend and although it looked much better, some of the stains remained. She noted, she had a lengthy walk-through with the contractor and noted areas of concern. She will continue to research what the cleaning will do and whether the life of the carpet can be extended. Cronkhite also reported they were considering the use of a type of carpet in the entryways which will scrub the soles of shoes as a person walks across the carpet. It was thought this cleaning in the entryways may help in the amount of dirt walked into the other carpet. Cronkhite added, the cleaning did not rid as much dirt and stain from the carpet as she had hoped, but replacing the carpet will be very expensive. She wants to make a good choice. B(~okey suggested the carpet issue be reviewed again at budget time. wants the terminal to look good for the public next year. He added, he ITEM J' DISCUSSION J-X. Citizens- None. J-2. Council Bookey- Reminded a month or more ago, he voiced his concerns about the lack of watering taking place in the city. He added, he was very pleased with the center of Kenai at this time and hoped in the future a watering program would be implemented before it gets so dry. Bookey thanked the Parks & Recreation Director and his crew for attending to his concerns. Swarner- a. Flowers/Grass -- Agreed the flowers and grass looked much better. She added, she would like the city to look as good on July 1 as it did on August 1, with the mowing and cleaning (like the airport carpet, etc.) and the signs being placed. b. Evaluations -- Swarner requested evaluations be scheduled for the September 1, 1999 council meeting for the city manager, city clerk, and city attorney. She requested Clerk Freas to include evaluation forms in the council's packets so they will be able to complete them and bring them to the meeting. Swarner added, she believed the council owed it to their employees to meet with them individually. There were no objections from council. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES' AUGUST 18, 1999 PAGE 16 Moore- No comments' Bannock- Noted the watering of the grass could also be attributed to the recent rainy weather. Bannock also requested a resolution of congratulations be brought forward for the Peninsula Offers. Williams stated he would have a proclamation and resolution prepared. Frazer- No comments. Williams - Reminded council of the Safety of Navigation in Cook Inlet Forum scheduled for September 9 and 10.

Council requested more information for what the funds would be used. In speaking with Paul Gray, the coordinator for the conference, I have been told there are costs attributed to the following: tables and chairs; booth electrical outlets; piping and drapes for the vendor booths; and draping for the vendor and meeting tables, isle carpeting, etc. - Approximately $7,000 printing of program book- Approximately $2,300 audio/visual equipment - Approximately $1,000 transportation for conference attendees (amount unavailable) If council indicates their approval of a $2,000 donation toward the conference costs, it has been suggested the funds could be appropriated from the Legislative Professional Services monies included for lobbying since AML is the city's main lobbying effort.

They are: NASA Administrator Mr. Daniel Goldin · NASA Deput3., Administrator Mr. Mike Liebermann · NASA Legislative Affairs Director Mr. Ed Heffeman · NASA Governmental Affairs Director Ms. Mary Kerwin · NASA Astronaut Dr. Bonnie Dunbar · Other as yet to be named NASA administrators Needless to say this visit notification was a big surprise! However, it is very exciting to have the top members of NASA's administration visiting our offices and project site for a first hand look at the project. This visit is part of a whirlwind trip to Alaska that will also encompass a site visit to the Kodiak Launch Facility later the same day. It should also be noted that this group will be joining with Senator 'Ted Stevens at the Kenai Airport to fly together to Kodiak. There is an outside chance that Senator Stevens may choose to join the tour of our offices and site. Administrator Goldin has been the head of NASA since 1992 and has been responsible tbr the successful reorganization of NASA into stronger organization. His motto tbr NASA is "faster, better, cheaper." Astronaut Dr. Bonnie Dunbar is a senior member of the Astronaut Corps with five space missions to her credit amounting to over 50 days in space. At the direction of Board President Mike Tarr, all members of the Board who are available are asked to attend this important meeting. The NASA entourage is expected to arrive at the Challenger Learning Center of Alaska office in Kenai between 8:30am and 9:00am. I will be making a presentation Administrator Goldin and his staff on the details of our project and the progress we have made to date. After a question and answer period, we will then travel to the project site for an on-site inspection of the facilities under construction. Administrator Goldin and his staff are scheduled to leave Kenai Airport at 10'00am for Kodiak. This is just another example of the amazing successes we are achieving with this project. I hope you can all be there to participate in this major event in the history of the Challenger Learning Center of Alaska!

Huber, Executive Director Kenai River Sportfishing Association, Inc. P. O. Box 1228 Soldotna, AK 99669 Drift Boat Pullout Ramp on Lower Kenai River Dear Mr. Huber: Thhnk you for your update on the possible use of the "Cone" property for development of a drif~ boat pullout site. Hopefully, your letters to the respective commissioners will have positive results. We are willing to work with you and support your efforts to develop that site. There are, however, some issues concerning Cunningham Park of which you may not be aware. The park has never had an authorized boat ramp. After the park was originally developed, unknown individual(s) pushed out the bank and created a very crude access that was used as a pullout. You are correct that the restoration plans first submitted by Mr. Nelson on behalf of the Kenai River Sportfishing Association did include a proposed ramp that extended well into the fiver. Whether this would have received permitting is unknown because public testimony from Beaver Loop residents was against ramp development. You may want to discuss this with Mr. Jim Golden who represented the Association at that meeting. The Council referred the plans back to the Kenai River Sportfishing Association inquiring if they would supPort park restoration and development without a boat ramp. At a subsequent meeting, Mr. Golden reported back to Council that the Association wanted to proceed with the project without the ramp. He testified that the ramp was not an issue and that the Association's interest was bank restoration and a nice park that provided a handicap accessible bank fishery. It was a mutual decision of the City Council and the Association to remove the ramp from the plans. Only after construction of the park was well underway was the issue raised of a pullout for drift boats. It was determined that the park could not accommodate the parking needs of vehicles and boat trailers. Mr. Brett Huber August 24, 1999 Page 2 of 3 On July 12, 1999, the Kenai Harbor Commission addressed the new schematics for development, a copy of which you attached with your letter. They have recommended against this development plan. Their discussion focused around the inadequacy of space available at' Cunningham Park to accommodate the drift boat fishery. The Harbor Commission recommended that other sites, both public and private, be considered to meet the lower fiver pullout needs of drif~ boats. The Parks & Recreation Commission has not discussed the issue of a boat pullout immediately adjacent to and downstream from the bank fishery. The City Council has not formally addressed the new proposal except to review the negative recommendation from the Harbor Commission. In your letter, you requested my thoughts on how to proceed. Some assessment needs to be made of what the future growth of the drift boat fishery will be. Your sources are no doubt better than ours in this arena. It does appear, based on the success of the 1999 season Monday drift boat only day, that the growth of the fishery is yet to come. If the "Cone" property is not available, a survey of other possible sites that would meet projected needs is in order. We can provide some assistance in helping to identify parcels and ownership. The site selected, in addition to other factors, must have space available to meet present and furore parking requirements. The proposed addition to Cunningham Park appears inadequate in that it will only accommodate, at most, seven vehicle/trailer combinations in a very tight parking arrangement. Lack of adequate parking, among other issues, was one of the public objections to the original ramp proposal. In the past, parking overflowed along the roadway and the road right-of-way. The current proposal, if developed, could lead to that same situation in the furore. We will work with you as you pursue a suitable site for a drif~ boat pullout on the lower fiver. The present development of Cunningham Park is a project of which the Kenai River Sportfishing Association can be very proud. It is a well-appreciated facility you have provided the community. Hopefully, a drift boat pullout location that will be adequate to both present and furore needs of that user group can be identified and developed on the lower fiver.

Kenai River Sportfishing Association, Inc. remains very interested in working with the City of Kenai to replace the access ramp that was removed in your design change during the Cunningham Park bank rehabilitation and access upgrade project. During our meeting, you suggested exploring the "Cone property" as a potential alternative for relocating the Cunningham Park access ramp. 'As you know, the former "Cone property" is now in state ownership through its purchase by the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustee Council. Management responsibility for that parcel is now within the cooperative jurisdiction of the Alaska Department of Natural Resources (ADNR) and Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G). After our meeting, I had preliminary discussions with agency staff for both ADNR and ADF&G regarding the "Cone property". Both agencies expressed serious reservations about the proposal and were quite dubious in their initial assessment of the viability of a project at that location. They based their position on the EVOS purchase and subsequent management guidelines being predicated on maintaining the wetlands and riparian habitat in an undeveloped state. Although we are drafting a letter to Commissioners Shivley and Rue inquiring further about the "Cone property", it appears that alternative is a long shot and would, in any case, require a great deal of time to put together. With those considerations in mind, and in order to reestablish the traditional drift boat access as soon as possible, we would like to pursue siting the ramp on the land adjacent to Cunningham Park. The attached preliminary design by Bill Nelson was done following our conversation with Mayor Williams at the re-dedication ceremony in July. It places the ramp within the boundaries of the existing Park as described by your Public Works Director, Mr. Komelis. We understand that there are issues to be addressed in placing a drift boat ramp immediately downstream of the current bank access site and our organization is ready to work with you to resolve them. There are a number of launch facilities in areas of the upper river where drift boaters and bank anglers interact. With proper design and limitations on use I am confident we can make it work. Again, thank you for you time and your assistance. We look forward to your thoughts on how Kenai River Sportfishing Association and the City of Kenai can best proceed in reestablishing drift boat access in the lower river.

The launch ramp would be located on the down fiver portion of the site that is currently undeveloped. I understand that the ramp would be used primarily for hauling out drift boats, with very little launching activity. There is room to park 7 vehicles with trailers. The traficc flow allows for either dropping off a vehicle with trailer, for later haul out or, bypassing the parking and proceeding directly to the ramp to haul out a boat. The proposed ramp slope is 13%. In order to minimize conflicts between trailer traffic and regular autOmobile parking, a separate entrance to Beaver Loop Road is proposed. A foot path would connect the two facilities. The bank should be stabilized similar to the recently completed project at Cunningham Park. A suggested budget is $60,000 for construction and $9,000 for design and inspection. Sincerely, W~et~qon, PE Attachment Cc Keith Komelis-City of Kenai Jul O1 SS OS: 1Sa Bil 1 Melson f.

As. you may recall, I requested and received authority and an appropriation to undertake an effort to purge non voters from the active voter list. The state's list maintenance law is based on the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) of 1993. It requires us to follow several steps before removing voters, including two letters of notice. The first list maintenance notice was sent to 53,422 active registered voters who met the following qualifications: 1. whose mail from the division was returned as undeliverable if the voter met the requirements of 2 and 3 below; 2. who had not contacted the division in the past four years, or; 3. who had not voted or appeared to vote in the last four years. Notices were also sent to 49,114 voters who are presently on the voter registration rolls in a purge status from prior years. The U.S. Department of Justice stated that since these voters were not removed from the voter registration rolls prior to the enactment of the NVRA they were to be included in the list maintenance process. The second list maintenance notice was sent to voters whose first notice was returned undeliverable by the post office. There were a total of 32,421 notices sent to active voters and 48,705 notices sent to inactive voters. Throughout the entire list maintenance process, the division made address changes for 9,517 voters. These changes were a result of voters returning the list maintenance notices and updating their information. P.O. Box 110015 Juneau, Alaska 99811-0015 Phone (907) 465-3520 Fax (907) 465-5400 Carol Freas August 12, 1999 Page 2 The final step of the list maintenance process was the inactivation of voters. On July 27, 1999, the division inactivated 23,368 voters. There are still 20,536 voters who were sent list maintenance notices but did not reply and/or whose notice was not returned undeliverable by the post office. Prior to the NVRA, the division would have been allowed to inactivate these voters. However, under the guidelines of the NVRA, these 20,536 voters will remain on the active registration list until they request cancellation or respond to a notice during the next list maintenance cycle. The Division of Elections will start another list maintenance cycle in January, 2000. Prior to that the division will conduct a mailing address match with the Permanent Fund Dividend file and send notices to voters whose mailing addresses differ. The Division of Elections realizes the importance of accurate and updated voter registration lists and will keep you informed of future list maintenance proiects. LieutenantFran Ulmer Governor /o . .

RDC's e-mail address: resources @ akrdc.org RDC's web site address: www.akrdc.org Writer & Editor Carl Portman specifics are still forthcoming, but it does serve as a crucial step to balance the state budget and bring long-term stabilitv to Alaska's economy. This September AlasKans have a choice between a sustainable dividend _~nd a balanced budget or a uig gamDie '.vnere the odds are stacked against us. Alaska's fiscal gap is real and it's not going away. Oil revenues, which use to account for 85 percent of all state revenues, now totals 70 percent and are declining daily. Oil production from the North Slope ~s half of what it was ten years ago and will continue to fail. This time Alaska will not be saved by nsing oil prices because there is not enough . oil production to produce the revenues needed to fund vital state services. The state could raise oil taxes, but such action could accelerate the pro- duction decline, instead the state needs to encourage industry to continue an aggressive investment policy to bring smaller, more expensive fields into pro- duction. Alaska, however, has one of the highest oil tax structures in the world. If we increase taxes, Alaska would risk sending future capital to more friendly oil provinces abroad. We could cut the budget more. even though state spending has been reduced $235 million since 1996 and the General Fund portion of the budget is now $1,700 less per capita than it was in 1979. the year before oil revenues started to flow into the state treasury. Alaska, however. cannot whack $1 billion off the state budget without causing major disturbances and throwing the state into a recession. Many changes and improvements have occurred all over AlasKa. Going back to pre-oil spending levels is not a realistic option. Page 2/RESOURCE REVIEW / August 1999 We could revert to a state income tax or s[atewide sales tax, but neither would close the gap. The problem is not going away. Alaska now nas huge deficits and de- clining oil production which translates 'nto falling revenues. Fortunately. Aiaskansprepared well for this day. There's the Constitutional Sudget Reserve. Unfortunately, this account will be used up soon if we don't do something now. We established the Permanc, nt Fund to save a portion of our oil w for this and future generations .... fund has two parts- the principal, which cannot be tapped without a vote of the people, and the earnings reserve ac- count, which is annually available to appropriation by the Legislature. September's vote applies to the earn- . ~ngs reserve. The Balanced Budget Plan preserves, protects and grows the principal of the Permanent Fund. It sustains a healthy dividend. Yet a "no" vote supporting the status quo jeopardizes the dividend program. The budget deficit could grow so severe that the state may eventually be forced to tap all the Fund's earnings to pay for general government services. Several years of poor financial markets and escalating inflation could also bring down the dividend. A "yes:' vote this fall would change the dynamics. Voters have the opportunity to turn the Fund from an annual savings account into a' term revenue generator, just Ilk pension fund. The plan is a step in the right direction, one which we need to take to held secure a stable future for Alaska. , 'Th .U'ghts from the President bY.Jim Branch -~-;';~::~: ~. ,. ·, MIX module is largest ever built in Alaska ,, Product of new industry It may have been a cloudy, cool day, but it was an afternoon that warmed many of our hearts when Representative Ramona'Barnes christened a colossal ~) compressor module in 2,700-ton Anchorage July 19, marking the product .. of a new industry for Alaska. The $80 million module, the largest ever built in Alaska, was fabricated at North Star Terminal in Anchorage over the past 14 months. After the christening ceremony, the module was then shipped on a barge to Prudhoe Bay where it will boost production at North America's largest oil field by 20,000 barrels a day by the end of the year. Over the remaining life of the field, the module is expected to squeeze an extra 50 million barrels of oil from Prudhoe, the equivalent of finding another small North Slope oil field. The oil industry refers to the structure as the MIX module. It is the centerpiece of a $160 million investment by Arco, BP and Exxon to create up to 25 percent more "miscible injectant," a solvent injected into the reservoir to allow more oil to flow to the surface. The process washes residual oil off the Ireservoir rocks and into production wells. The mammoth module will be installed adjacent to the Central Gas Facility at Prudhoe.

By working together creativelY, we will have future opportunities to celebrate similar successes, not Only in the off and gas industry, but Alaska's other resource industries. Construction of oil field modules in Alaska is not new. The industry has built small ones in Anchorage that were hauled to the Slope on trucks, but the MIX and Alpine modules were so large they had to be barged north. In the past, modules of this size were built in the Lower 48 or abroad. available to the oil industry and the citizens of Alaska. It also is an excellent example of both the challenges and opportunities that still remain on the North Slope, even in our mature fields like Prudhoe Bay. Arco, BP and Exxon and their other North Slope partners, using collective expertise, will continue to work together to make today's challenges into opportunities. Arco Alaska, who managed the MIX project for the Prudhoe Bay unit owners, and VECO Construction, who built the module, as well as the many suppliers and subcontractors who worked on the module, should be proud of their accomplishment. By working together creatively, we will have future opportunities to celebrate similar successes, not only in the oil and gas industry, but Alaska's other resource industries. August 1999 / RESOURCE REVIEW / Page 3 Final determination expected in one year The National Marine FiSheries Service (NMFS) in Alaska has sent a recommendation to its headquarters in Washington. D.C.. on whether to list the Cook Inlet beluga whale population for special protection as a "deDieted" or "endangered" species under the Marine Mammal Protection Act or the Endangered Species Act. A final recommendation is expected from Washington this month and will be subject to public comment before a final determination is made. Fede'rai biologists claim the beluga population in Cook ihlet has declined by half in the past four years. Native hunting is believed to be the primary cause behind the decline. Currently Native hunters have voluntarily halted hunting and are working with federal biologists on a co-management agreement to regulate future harvests. Trustees for Alaska. along with six other environmental groups, have filed a petition with NMFS for an emergency finding that Cook Inlet beluga whales are "endangered." The petition named hunting as the primary source, but also identified commercial fishing, sport fishing, port activity, municipal water discharges, noise from military and civilian aircraft, oil and gas, tourism and shipping as having impacts on the beluga population. However, numerous studies over the past decade have consistently found no evidence of environmental degradation in Cook Inlet from industrial and community ,.development activities. Last month i NMFS released the results of a new ,studv which revealed Cook Inlet I beluga whales are cleaner than those of the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas. The findings of that study largely ruled out exposure to pollutants as a factor in the decline of the Cook Inlet beluga, NMFS said. While there nas been no indication the belugas are impacted by any human activities other than hunting, a listing under either the Endangered Species Act or the Marine Mammal Protection Act could impact all activity in Cook Inlet. "NMFS believes it needs a listing status in order to regulate the beluga, but in doing so, it would force all users of Cook Inlet who are not part of the problem to become the solution by potentially restricting every activity that occurs in Cook Inlet." said Ken Freeman. RDC's Executive Director. "These restrictions could be severe and very costly to each user." The solution to this issue lies in a number of critical, but difficult steps, Freeman Said. First, a co-management agreement between NMFS and the Cook Inlet Marine Mammal Council needs to be established to set parameters so a sustainable hunt'can occur. Second, additional information is needed. "We do have a considerable amount of data about the belugas, but we need to learn more," said Freeman. The RDC executive director explained that more DNA studies need to take place, in particular to see if the belugas in Cook Inlet are following their dinner to Bristol Bay where there are higher concentrations of fish and a growing population of belugas. He also noted population surveys need to take place at other times of the year other Page 4 / RESOURCE REVIEW / August 1999 Commercial and sport fishing, community d6 industry have all successfully worked and grot4 not t~ad a detrimental impact on Cook Inlet or than just June. which according to the Cook Inlet Marine Mammal Coup'" should demonstrate increased numb. of belugas in conjunction with increased numbers of fish during other summer months. Another option is additional special legislation granting NMFS greater authority to manage the resource. This legislation would go beyond a congressional moratorium that bans hunting for one year until a co- management agreement can be reached. The beluga issue came to a boil in November 1998 when NMFS opened a 60-day "status review" of Cook Inlet belugas. Published data showed the whale count at 800 in Cook Inlet with a drop in sightings. There was no cause for alarm at that time, except for the high number of harvested whales over the past year. The estimated harvest of 72 whales in 1998 was considered five times more than the sustainable har- vest target of 14. Two months following the close ~' the comment period, NMFS hel, meeting in which RDC and other orga- nizations learned for the first time that in November the federal agency changed the formula by wiqich it determines how ~?ent. recreation, tourism, shipping and the oil gas ':her in Cook Inlet. Studies indicate devetolament has · ..uaa whales. tO count ':,unseen" whales. The formula revision cot in half the population esti- mates for the past six years, dropping the 800 count to 400. The 1998 counT, which had not yet been released, fell to 300. On the basis of this new information. Trustees immediately petitioned NMFS for an emergency listing. Meanwhile. NMFS refused requests by RDC and others to reopen the status review so that public comment could be taken on the formula revision and other changes that have occurred since November. While the consequences of a depleted listing are not as severe as one under the Endangered Species Act, environmental forces could still use a depleted finding under the Marine Mammal Protection Act as a tool to obstruct human activity in Cook Inlet. Under either a depleted, threatened or endangered listing, all users of Cook Inlet could be impacted, especially through third party lawsuits. Within one month of filing the petition for an endangered listing, Cook Inlet Keeper a spring a stay on 70 filed motion this for tracts of the Cook Inlet lease sale held in April. Then later in the spring, Trustees asked the Corps of Engineers to halt the dredging of shipping channels near Anchorage. Beluga listing has steep price tag The widespread economic implications of listing the Cook Inlet beluga whale as an endangered or depleted species were outlined at a July Anchorage Chamber of Commerce luncheon forum featuring business lead- ers from throughout the community. "If you aren't concerned now, you should be," said Joe Griffith of Chugach Electric Association. "It's another snail darter issue which strikes at the very heart of the transportation system that supports not only our businesses, but every aspect of the economy statewide." Speakers warned that general commerce in the Cook Inlet basin and beyond could be severely impacted if the beluga is listed for special protec- tion. From higher shipping costs to multi-fold increases in utility rates, Alaskans could end up paying big dollars directly and indirectly. Participating in the panel presentation were Ken Freeman of RDC. Judy Brady of the Alaska Oil and Gas Association, Representative Gall Phillips, Roger Graves of the Port of Anchorage, Phil Cutler of the Alaska Sportfishing Association and Brian Crewdson of Anchorage Water and Wastewater Utility. If the belugas are listed, Crewdson warned that the Municipality of Anchorage could be forced to buiid.a $500 million-plus secondary treatment plant, including a tertiary treatment process and an advanced metals removal for wastewater it discharges into Cook Inlet. Anchorage residents would have to pick up the tab for these additional expenditures, as well as annual operating costs that are estimated at more than $15 million. Crewdson noted the Municipality of Anchorage is currently in the process of renewing a wastewater discharge permit and site-specific criteria for its treatment plant at Point Waronzof. The permit is sitting on the desk of federal regulators as part of the consultations on listing the belugas. The Municipality does extensive monitoring of Cook Inlet waters on an annual basis as a condition for retaining its discharge waiver. Those monitor- ing efforts and other water quality studies have consistently shown no impacts to Cook Inlet from community or industrial development activities. Moreover, the monitoring has confirmed that city discharges have not exceeded state water quality standards and studies have largely ruled out exposure to pollutants as a factor in the recent decline in the Cook Inlet beluga population. "More than ninety-nine percent of the metals detected in Knik Arm come from natural runoff and less than one percent is the result of human-influenced point or non-point sources," Crewdson pointed out. Both Cook Inlet and Knik Arm have extremely high suspended solids and particulate metals, originating from glaciers and rivers. Under the Endangered Species Act, economic impacts from proposed regulations and other remedies to enhance protection of a species cannot be considered when making a decision to list, noted Judy Brady, Executive Director of the Alaska Oil and Gas Association. Brady said the goal of everyone involved in the issue is the sustainability of the Cook Inlet beluga population. "The problem is hunting, but NMFS insists it cannot regulate subsistence hunting until a marine mammal is listed for protection," Brady said. "That puts the rest of us in a terrible position, and it puts the hunters in a terrible position," she said. "Many of us believe they can indeed regulate right now. They believe they can't, and have not been." August 1999 / RESOURCE REVIEW / Page 5 The plan New direction offers stability, balanced budget and growing dividend (Continued from page 1) This change is endorsed by many former Permanent Fund trustees, staff and consultants. Two central features of the plan are combining of reserve accounts and restructuring distributions from the Permanent Fund. Under the plan, the Earnings ~eserve Account and the Constitutional Sudget Reserve will be combined and renamed the Alaska Income Account. The AIA will then be invested with the Permanent Fund principal and all earnings will go into the AIA. The AIA will generate income to ensure inflation- proofing,, p, ayment of dividends and funding of essential government services. Under the new method, dividends will be based on a five-year market value of the total fund. Each year, an amount equal to 5.88 percent of the total market vatue will become available. half for payment of dividends and half for essential services. Over the long term, the plan inflation-proofs the principal of the Permanent Fund in two ways. First, all earnings in excess of 5.88 percent of the market value stay in the fund. Second, whenever the liquid portion of the fund (the AIA) equals more than 40 percent of the total fund, the excess will be deposited into the principal. Fund managers favor this approach because historically it provides better protection for the principal, ensures growth and produces a reliable income stream. This approach is similar to that used by foundations, endowments and pension funds all over the world. Under the new plan, dividends will be lower in the short term, but will grow over the long haul. Each year's Permanent Fund Divi- dend is currently based on a rolling five- year average of the fund's realized earn- Permanent Fund is Alaska's largest revenue source. 4.0 3.5 3.0 2.5 ._o 2.0 1.5 1.0 0.5 0.0 1978 Oil Revenue Fund Income 1998 Actual Projected Annual earnings from the Alaska Permanent Fund exceeded state oil revenues for the first time in fiscal 1998. and the gap between the two is expected to rapidly widen over the next 20 years. ings. For several years, the trustees of [he Permanent Fund have recom- mended the system' be changed to a calculation based on the fund's market value because this methodology pro- tects the principal better and generates dividends that are less volatile, more reliable and more predictable. Alaskans have become accustomed to an ever-growing dividend, but the current system in no way guarantees a bigger check every year. Declines in the stock market and years of high inflation can put the dividend on a roller-coaster. According to a computer model built for the Permanent Fund Trustees, there will likely be years in which the dividend drops to zero because of market conditions and inflation. Under the status quo, dividends are expected to peak at $1,856 in 2001 and begin dropping after that point. Unless significant new sources of rev- enue are found, the dividend could dis- appear by 2013 as fund earnings are used to pay for essential services. The Balanced Budget Plan provides stable and predictable dividends; at least $1,700 in 1999 and 2000, and approximately $1,340 in 2001. After 2001, the dividends would grow gradually but steadily. Fact Sheet Alaska Permanent Func, · The Permanent Fund was created by amendment to the Alaska Constitution in 1976. · The original intent and purpose of the fund was to save a portion of Alaska's revenues from its petroleum resources, invest that revenue, and use the earnings to help pro- vide essential public services in the future when petroleum revenues decline. · in 1998 earnings from Permanent Fund investments exceeded oil revenues. The gap between oil revenue and Permanent Fund earnings will continue to accelerate. · The principal can never be touched unless and until voters vote to do so by constitutional amendment. · The Legislature has the authority to appropriate ali earnings from Permanent Fund investments at any time. · The fund is currently valued at $25.8 billion. The total includes the fund print" ($18.6 billion) and earnings ($7.2 billi~. One third of the principal came from dedi- cated oil revenues with the remainder by legislative action in the form of inflation- proofing and special appropriations. Page 6 / RESOURCE REVIEW / August 1999 IN MOTION YES VOTE · Preserves the dividend · Protects and grows the Permanent Fund · Closes the fiscal gap A "YES" vote would set into motion the Balanced Budget Plan which will: · Ensure Alaskans continue to receive healthy dividends $1,700+ this year $1,700+ next year S1,300+ in 2001 Growing dividends thereafter · Protect and grow the Permanent Fund principal (the part that's truly permanent and cannot be touched without a Constitutional Amendment) · tn,flation-proof the Fund's principal · Use investment earnings of the Permanent Fund -- none of the principal-- to provide a steady, predictable flow of revenues to pay for essential state services. · Continue state General Fund budget reductions and commit to long-term budget discipline and efficiencies. · institute new revenue sources · Defer imposition of a personal income tax NO VOTE · Dividend eventually disappears, new taxes imminent · Permanent Fund Earnings Reserve depleted · Permanent Fund principal loses its value · Drastic cuts in state services and programs A "NO" vote would do nothing to address Alaska's mounting budget deficit. Despite three years of successive budget reductions totaling $235 million, Alaska still faces a deficit exceeding $1 billion. It's a deficit that will grow next year, and the years that follow. By voting "NO" and doing nothing: · The Permanent Fund will suffer and our dividends could disappear in almost ten years. · The State will be forced to draw down the Permanent Fund's earnings, eventually leaving no money to pay dividends or inflation-proof the Fund's principal. With out inflation proofing, the Permanent Fund's principal will lose its value. · There would be a greater likelihood of a personal income tax, sooner than later, as well as new taxes on Alaska's resource industries and all business, putting the state at a competitive disadvantage to new capital investments. · Drastic budget cuts from municipal revenue sharing to vital state services and programs are likely. · Alaska is making a choice to gamble on its future economic stability and prosperity Why budget cuts alone won't close the gap · Alaska cannot whack $1 billion off the state budget without throwing the state into a recession. We cannot cut our way to a sustained balanced budget. The following are sample scenarios of the magnitude of cuts that would be required to close the fiscal gap. · Stop paying K-12 education, the Medicaid match, general funds appropriated by the Department of Transportation and Public Facilities and all general fund appropriated to the University of Alaska. · Eliminate all general funds from every state agency except the Department of Health and Social Services and the Department of Education. · Eliminate ali general funds in the Department of Health and Social Services and the Department of Education. · Institute a head tax of $1,799 for every person in Alaska, including children or eliminate the Permanent Fund dividend. * Many changes and improvements have occurred in Alaska over the past 20 years. Going back to pre-oil spending levels is not a realistic option. **Off prices could double and Alaska would still not have enough money to provide essential government services to its residents.
