RE:
Mayor John J. 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.

1999 Response to ADEC UST removal comments
Mr. LaShot:
After meeting with you, Mr. Ross, and the staff from ADEC, (Mr. Horwath and Mr. Bayse), I have
prepared a cost estimate to comply with the regulatory requirements the State has imposed. 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.

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:

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

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.

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.

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.

B-I.
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.

D-7-b. 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

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.

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.

He added, he

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.

AML CONFERENCE ESTIMATED EXPENSES
A~ your August 18 council meeting, MayOr Williams requested an additional $2,000 to
be donated toward costs involved with the AML Conference being held in Kenai and
Soldotna in November. 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.

Greetings from the Challenger Learning Center of Alaska office,
I have just been informed today that we will be visited by a number of
very important visitors this Friday, August 27th, at 8:30am. 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

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.
Very truly yours,
CITY OF KENAI

City of Kenai
210 Fidalgo Avenue, Suite 200
Kenai, AK 99611-7794
Dear Mr. Ross:
Thank you for taking the time to meet with me last Thursday to discuss options and alternatives for
reestablishing a drift boat pullout ramp in the lower river. 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.

RE: Cunningham Park- Concept Plan for Drift Boat Launch
Dear Mr. Norvitle
'At your request I prepared a concept plan for a drift boat haul out ramp and trailer parking at
Cunningham Park. 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

WHEREAS, Kenai, Soldotna, Seward and Homers combined records indicate approximately 3,868
dogs and cats were either picked up or dropped off at the pounds in 1997, and about
1,625 of those animals were from the borough area outside the cities; and
WHEREAS, there have been numerous complaints of dogs running at large in the borough in the
areas outside cities, damaging and destroying property, attacking people and other
animals; and
WltEREAS, Kenai, Soldotna, Homer, Seward and Seldovia records show combined 55 animal
bites reported in 1997; and
WI:IEREAS, Alaska Statute 29.35.210 provides that the borough may, by ordinance, license,

WHEREAS, while a majority of the voters voting in the nonareawide advisory election held
October 6, 1998 did not support the boroughs providing animal comrol in the areas
outside of the cities, a majority did vote in favor of providing dangerous animal
control, rabies control and the disposal/adoption of abandoned or loose-running
animals through comracts with cities if the borough were to exercise animal control
powers; and

Dear Carol,
! am writing to give you an update on the status of the Division of Elections' list
maintenance project.
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.

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.

Alaska will exhaust its rainy day account, the Constitutional Budget Reserve,
in two more years. When that happens, the state will start cashing in the
Permanent Fund's paper profits -- a move that will temporally send the
dividend sky high as the dividend is based on realized earnings. Once the
state exhausts the paper profits, it will rapidly draw down the Fund's Earnings
Reserve Account. leaving no money to ~ay dividends or inflation-proof the

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.

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.
More than 200 Alaskans worked on
the project, 120 in Anchorage with the

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.

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

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

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

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."

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-

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.
