RESOLUTION NO. 99-66
Suggested by: Administ~
A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, SUPPORTING A
CHARTER AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE STATE OF ALASKA AND BP/AMOCO ON THE
ACQUISITION OF ARCO ALASKA.
WHEREAS, the community of the City of Kenai depends on a healthy oil industry that has the
confidence to continue to invest in the development of Alaska's oil and gas resources; and,
WHEREAS, international oil companies throughout the world have responded with a series of
mergers and acquisitions to better position themselves in the global energy marketplace; and,
WHEREAS, ARCO Alaska has approached BP/Amoco to purchase it in part to better position
Alaska in the international marketplace; and,
WHEREAS, the State of Alaska is currently negotiating a charter agreement with BP/Amoco
that is intended to ensure 'that BP/Amoco will not be able to monopolize Alaska's oil and gas
resources on the North Slope; and,
WHEREAS, under the terms of the proposed charter agreement, BP/Amoco has agreed to open
facilities to access by other companies and has significantly increased its commitment to
Alaska hire, Alaska spend, community support and protection of the environment; and,
WHEREAS, protracted delays in finalizing an agreement between the State of Alaska and
BP/Amoco on the ARCO acquisition will continue to have a negative impact on the City of
Kenai and its economy.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA,
that the City of Kenai supports a charter agreement the State of Alaska is negotiating with
BP/Amoco; and,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City of Kenai urges the State of Alaska and BP/Amoco to
incorporate the valid concerns expressed by Alaskans over the terms of a charter and to
promptly complete an agreement allowing Alaskan businesses to move forward to work
competitively in the local marketplace and that copies of this resolution be forwarded to
Governor Ton Knowles; Richard Campbell, President of BP/Amoco; Kevin O'Meyer, President of
ARCO; Senator John Torgerson, Senator Jerry Ward; Representative Gail Phillips;
Representative Gary Davis; Representative Hal Smalley; and Dale Bagley, Kenai Peninsula
Borough Mayor.

ITEM 4: OLD BUSINESS
Discussion - Morning Membership
Director Kelso referred to the August 26, 1999 meeting at which the Council discussed
the decline in seniors' use of the Center in the mornings. In order to encourage more
use of the Center, healthier alternatives to breakfast foods, i.e. cereals were offered in
October and waffles were planned for January. She noted, the seniors would be
alerted to the breakfast foods being available through the newsletter, postings at the
Center, and verbal announcements. Kelso added, most of those coming for breakfast
would be from Vintage Pointe and the Center opened at 7'30 a.m.

Discussion -- Wheelchair Van
Kelso reported the wheelchair van was received and was being fitted with the radio
and being decaled with "Kenai Senior Center." She noted, the van could hold two
persons in wheelchairs and 12 additional passengers. Kelso reported a concern was
voiced that the van did not have seatbelts. She explained, seatbelts were not required
for buses, but costs for seatbelts were being investigated and if purchased, would
probably be added by the shop personnel.
ITEM 5: NEW BUSINESS
, ,
Discussion -- United Way Presentation/Rosetta Alcantra
Alcantra noted she was the new Director of United Way and was making an effort to
meet with all the organizations receiving United Way funding. She noted this was her
first campaign and thanked Kelso for her help in the drive. Alcantra added, the City of
Kenai had met and exceeded its $6,000 goal.
Alcantra reported there had been both increases in donations from British Petroleum
and decreases in other donations due to the uncertain economy. However, she
believed the total would be comparable to last year's donations. She noted, their
Peninsula-wide goal was $450,000. Alcantra also stated two receiving agencies had
been added to the list during the year.
Alcantra reported her office was situated in the Benco Building and the board
meetings were held on the third Thursday of each month at the HEA building.
invited members of the Council to attend their meetings.
She
Kelso explained the United Way donation to the Center was significant and she
appreciated the help. She added, there were many donors who requested all their
donation be forwarded to the Center. Alcantra noted United Way would also forward
donations to agencies who were not on their list of receivers. She noted, all the funds
contributed directly to the Center are given to the Center.
Discussion -- Land Surrounding Senior Center
Councilwoman Swarner reported the council had determined the land at the comer of
Spur View Drive and Frontage Road (in front of the Senior Center on which the Senior
Center sign is placed), was not needed for public use and would now be available for
sale. She noted, Dr. Zirul was interested in purchasing the property on which to build
a clinic. Swarner added, the property was now in the process of being appraised.
Discussion followed in which concerns were stated by the members. Swarner was
asked how they could object to the sale and she explained the matter would come
back to council at the time the sale is considered for approval. She noted, the
property is owned by the Airport Fund. She explained, this was the property on which
MAYOR'S COUNCIL ON AGING MEETING MINUTES
NOVEMBER 17, 1999
Page 2 of 4
a developer had hoped to build an assisted living facility. Since he was unable to
acquire the funding to build the facility, the lease of the property was terminated.
Kelso noted, she had concerns the property would be needed for furore expansion of
the Center, however, it was explained to her the property on which the Center was
situated was large enough to accommodate expansions. It was asked why the city
didn't develop an assisted living facility and Swamer explained the city was not in the
social services business. Swamer was asked if a group of seniors went to a council
meeting and stated their concerns, would the council change their minds. Swarner
answered, probably not but added, it would be worth trying. It was also noted a small
doctor's office wouldn't be obtrusive and could be an advantage to those seniors
needing care.
a-ce
Discussion-- Budget
Kelso reviewed the 1999/2000 budget and noted the largest grant supporting the
Center's programs comes from the Alaska Commission on Aging. She noted the
amounts coming from the Borough and U.S.D.A. were the same as last year and there
would be a slight increase to the funds coming from United Way. Kelso also noted the
money taken in for meals did not cover the cost of providing the meals.
Kelso explained the senior programs were mostly provided through grants. The City
pays for utilities, maintains senior vehicles, building maintenance, etc. The amount
included in the budget for rentals, she noted, was an estimate and based on last year's
intake. Kelso was asked if rentals for the coming year were coming in and she
explained many of the rental reservations for the summer would be made in January
and February. She also noted there was usually wear and tear on the building from
the rentals, but they had not had any major damage to the facilities.
Kelso also noted, the Center was very fortunate in that they had a lot more employees
than other centers. Jones noted, after visiting a senior center in Minnesota he was
much more aware of how fortunate they were to have the Kenai Center.
a-do
Discussion -- Coordinated Transportation
Kelso referred to the information included in the packet and noted she was a member
of the Kenai Peninsula Public Transportation Task Force. She explained, the Task
Force was investigating the possibility of setting up a coordinated transportation
~system, using vehicles from the Kenai Center, as well as other centers and service
organizations. At this time they were considering the possibility of a central office with
a phone where a person could call in and indicate where they needed a ride to and the
coordinator would arrange for the ride. The concept was to offer seniors
transportation for evenings and weekends as well as weekdays.
Kelso reported a matching grant had been received for the amount of $500,000 from
Senator Stevens' office for the development and operation of a transportation system,
MAYOR'S COUNCIL ON AGING MEETING MINUTES
NOVEMBER 17, 1999
Page 3 of 4
however it was not known from where the matching funds would come. At this time
they were investigating sources for the matching funds.
Kelso was asked if the transportation organization would own the vans and she
explained it wouldn't. However, all the vans and drivers would have to meet some
regulatory specifications. She added, she didn't know how the Senior Center would fit
into the system because it was separate from the other agencies in that the City
maintained the vehicles, etc.
Kelso also explained there were over 40 organizations represented on the Task Force
from all over the Central Peninsula (Kenai, Soldotna, Sterling, Nikiski). She added, it
had already been established the cost to run a shuttle service would be about $35.00
an hour which would not be covered by the suggested fares. Other grants would be
needed to support the system and in the present economic climate, it was not known
how the cities and borough would be able to contribute to the operation of the system.
Kelso added, she did not want the operation of a coordinated transportation system to
detract from the services to the seniors involved with the Kenai Senior Center. She
added, her seniors were her first priority.
The discussion continued and it was noted Kelso and the city manager had originally
thought the city could donate a vehicle to the program, but the feeling from the Task
Force now was that a vehicle donation wouldn't help that much. Arness asked if most
of the organizations were senior centers and special interest groups. Kelso answered
yes, and added there was consideration of the groups pooling their transportation
costs, but if the Kenai Senior Center did that, it would take away from the Center's
budget. However, that arrangement'would be an advantage to other centers not run
by a city/borough government. Kelso requested a motion of support for the idea of the
transportation system.
MOTION:
Member Jones MOVED to support the concept of the transportation system and
Member Wiese SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED.

ITEM 6: NEW BUSINESS
6-a. Discussion- Rental Car Invitation to Bid
Cronkhite reported she and the City Manager met with Dan VanZee to discuss
the concerns voiced at the last meeting. Many changes were made as a result
of the discussion. The pre-bid conference was held on November 17 with very
few questions raised. Cronkhite noted, there was good participation and the
process was going well.
VanZee added, due to the willin~ess of Administration to consider the items of
concerns, a fair and equitable contract was developed. VanZee added, he was
comfortable with the current contract and felt it would work well for Kenai.
Discussion- Storage Lockers/Buildings for Float Plane Basra/Gravel
Strip
Cronkhite reported Fish and Game had moved their aircraft from the Soldotna
Airport to the ski strip area at the Kenai Airport and requested to bring their
associated storage building along with them. She explained, although there
were some concerns as to the size of the storage building, permission was
granted for the winter months only.
Cronkhite stated, if storage type sheds were to be allowed, a standard needed to
be developed with regard to size, location, etc. Cronkhite added, Holland would
like to see lower, locker type storage bins instead of sheds as they would better
clear the wings of aircraft. Cronkhite thought users would prefer a walk-in type
storage situation and that the standard needed to be the same for both the
floatplane basin and ski strip.
VanZee suggested the airport provide the storage sheds or lockers for a fee,
which could serve as a good marketing tool. Users could rent space with or
without lockers. After a lengthy discussion it was decided the Commission
would give the issue more thought and it would be discussed in more detail at
the next meeting.
Discussion - Airport Logo
Cronkhite stated the airport needed a logo that could be used for advertising
purposes. A copy of the current logo designed by Keith Holland was included in
the packet. Cronkhite pointed out this logo was used in the Alaska Airmen's
Association Logbook advertisement.
Cronkhite suggested a contest, open to high school students on the Kenai
Peninsula, would be a way of getting a new logo. The Commission thought a
contest was a good idea and agreed to be on the selection committee. It was
asked if the airport would be locked into a logo that came out of the contest.
Cronkhite replied, normally a disclaimer would be used which would state, "you
might win the contest but the sponsoring agency has the fight to use your basic
design in any way deemed appropriate." The student would still get the prize if
the airport decided to not use the design after the contest.
AIRPORT COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES
NOVEMBER 18, 1999
PAGE 2
Discussion took place on prizes for the contest and Cronkhite suggested
contacting some of the tenants at the airport to see if they would be willing to
provide a prize.
It was decided all the high schools could participate in the contest. Cronkhite
is to contact the graphics art teacher at the high school to begin setting
parameters, etc. Cronkhite noted, some portion of the City of Kenai logo should
be included in the airport logo. It was suggested the logo discussion be on the
agenda for the next meeting.
ITEM 7:
,,
AIRPORT MANAGER'S REPORT
7-a. Airport Fire Truck
Cronkhite reported the fire truck that was parked on the runway was moved
back to the fire station with approval from FAA. A new temporary road was
established and a gate with an electric opener would be installed. She added,
the new route and electric gate would assure the three-minute response time
required by FAA. Cronkhite stated the fire truck should not sit on the ramp
during the winter months as freezing temperatures could eventually cause
problems. The vehicle will be moved back to the ramp in the spring or summer.
Cronkhite added, the architectural firm was hired to start on the design stage of
the new fire station which will be located at the airport. She explained, the
facility will be constructed in a manner where it would not be outdated or
outgrown in five years. The new facility will have two bays for emergency
vehicles; an area for snow removal equipment; a chemical storage area that will
hold such items as de-icer, etc.; sleeping quarters; and a kitchen. If all goes
well, she added, the groundbreaking could be held by the summer of 2000.
Lorenzen asked if the facility would be manned. Cronkhite replied, one person
would be onsite at all times.
Cronkhite continued, the electric gate used for the temporary road would be
used at another location once the new facility is completed.
ITEM 8:
COMMISSIONER COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS
Commissioner Lorenzen asked how everyone felt about the new contract
tower. The discussion that took place was off the record.
Commissioner Knackstedt expressed concern about the numbering of the
runway and gravel strip and noted that it was confusing to new pilots to the
area or student pilots. Cronkhite stated the numbering was a design standard
and there was no way to get around it. It was suggested that perhaps some
type of identifier could be used such as "Float 1-9" or "Ski 1-9," etc. This could

be put in a supplement if approved. Lorenzen was asked to contact the Region
to research options and would try and bring information back to the next
meeting for discussion.

Student Finance Director Hershberger was asked about the process in determining the
contract should be awarded to Stephen's Computer Consulting. Hershberger
explained, a Request for Proposals (RFP) was advertised and six bids were received in
response to the RFP. At that time, it was decided to go to a two-step process in
choosing. From what was received from the six, they then took three of the six
companies who bid the package because they had Microsoft Works certifications.
Those three companies were requested to submit a per-hour bid. From there, it was
decided who should be awarded the contract. Hershberger added, $14,500 was
included in the budget to cover the costs for this service for the remainder of the year.
Administration felt it best to award the bid to Stephen's Computer Consulting because
they were certified and they had the lowest hourly bid.

Schnelting SECONDED the motion.
The floor was opened for public comments.
Amanda Reynoldson -- Requested council to approve the resolution for the benefit of
the Airport and the Fire Department. She explained, the FAA requirements dictated a
three-minute response with water to the runway by the Fire Department during an
emergency. Because the Fire Department could not make that time unless a truck
was waiting on the runway and because of the number of scheduled flights, the truck

NO~MBER 17, 1999
had to stay on the runway which was not good for the equipment. She added, it was
anticipated a small frre facility would be built along side the runway in the near future
which would enable making the three-minute timeline.
The addition of the gate would allow the Kre truck to enter the runway area within the
three-minute time limit; the gate would be a temporary fm for the situation.
Pat McKibbon -- Student Airport Manager.
electric opener.
McKibbon added, the gate would have an
Roger Fanning -- Asked what would happen if there was a power outage. Student
Fire Chief Reynoldson explained, currently it would not be a problem because the
truck was already situated on the runway. McGibbons added, if there was a power
outage after the gate was built, the truck could ram the gate to open it.
Quintero stated his concern for the cost of the gate. McGibbon explained,
administration looked for the lowest cost, but wanted the gate to function correctly.
Jung asked how long the FAA required the three-minute response. Airport Manager
Cronkhite explained, CFR Part 139 was enacted in 1988. She added, the city failed its
yearly FAA-inspection last year because it could no longer meet the response time due
to the traffic on the roadways. Cronkhite noted, the city was cited for that failure and
was required to find a solution to meet the mandated response time.
Councilwoman Garrett asked where the gate was to be placed. McGibbon answered it
would be located right next to the comer of Main and Willow Streets where there was
already a non-electric gate. He added, construction was anticipated to begin in four
weeks. McGibbon noted, after the facility is built, the gate would be moved to another
location along the airport fencing. Cronkhite noted, the moving of the gate would
probably be accomplished in-house with city personnel.
Discussion continued where it was questioned whether the FAA requirement applied
to the Kenai Airport due to the small planes that land at the airport. Cronkhite
explained FAA regulations require the Kenai Airport to have fencing or some capability
to limit inadvertent access (moose, vehicles, etc.). She added, the airport is mandated
to protect the landing surfaces so that accidents do not occur. She noted, the fencing
and gates were part of the requirements for operating the airport.
Jung asked if the same requirements applied to small-plane airports like the one on
Funny River Road. Cronkhite answered no, as it was not a certificated airport. She
added, in the city's case, the airport certification applied to airports serving aircraft
over 30 passenger seats, commercial passenger, and scheduled passenger aircraft.

NOVEMBER 17, 1999

Quintero asked if the airlines could be asked to help pay for the fence. Cronkhite
explained, the airlines pay landing fees and other operating fees. The fees collected,
etc. help in the cost of the operation of the airport.
dung asked if the Soldoma Airport could be used for an emergency landing. Cronkhite -
answered, it could not be designated for certain types of aircraft as a diversion airport
because it did not have the capability. She noted, the pilot of an aircraft has the right
to land an aircraft in the safest manner possible. However, a non-certificated field is
not normally designated as a diversionary landing area.

D-2. Council Members
Schnelting -- Reported he learned that with the help of federal funds and
private citizens, the City of Kenai had been able to make good accommodations for the
people, i.e. Animal Shelter, Fire Training Center, etc. He added, he would like
improvement on the service facilities for heavy equipment repair and maintenance
because the building was not really big enough to bring some of the equipment in the
building in order to service it.
Jung-- Jung stated he learned a lot of the amenities to the city were because of
the city council members. He added, it was his opinion the council members were a
very big part of the town, as they determine what goes and stays, keeping track of
funds, and keep the town alive. Jung added, he believed that was really important
and a big part of a city. He added, anyone in the mayor/council member positions
deserve a lot of credit.
Balthar -- Stated Kenai was a small town and he was very surprised how many
facilities are in the town. He added, he liked the way things are progressing. Balihar
added, he learned a lot of new and interesting facts about Kenai during the day and
was especially impressed with the equipment in the Fire Department.. He added, the
program was a nice and useful experience for him and he was glad he participated in
the program.
Garrett -- Garrett reported, during the course of the day she learned quite a bit
about the city. She noted, her uncle complained daily about the things his tax dollars
go for and how it is useless. She added, Mayor Williams took time out to explain what
the taxpayers don't pay for and now she would be able to explain that information to
her uncle. Garrett added, she was most impressed w/th the Fire Training Center and
the fire drills that took place. She added, she was somewhat traumatized when
visiting the Animal Shelter when it was noted how many animals were put down each
month.
(]uintero -- Thanked the council and administration for a chance to see how
government worked. He added, he enjoyed the tour and experience. He noted, he had
not thought about government and believed you learn to care about government when
grown and participate more with the community. Quintero added, he hoped to attend
more of the council meetings.
Jones -- Reported she had a good day and learned a lot about the Fire
Department and Fire Training Center. She added, seeing what the employees had to
do at the Animal Shelter was sad. Jones stated her favorite place they visited was the
Police Department.

time and thought it was a great experience.

December.

what he does as city attorney. She noted, they attended a murder trial at the
courthouse. She added, Graves also showed her the Alaska Statutes, both in
textbooks and one CD-Rom. Bortz added, the city attorney gives advice and
information to the council and administration when it is needed; is the municipal

Hershberger added, she thought the finance director was very good and did a lot for
the city. She thanked the city for the opportunity.
D-9. Fire Chief
Reynoldson -- Reynoldson reported she learned a lot about what the Fire Chief
does during her time as the Student Fire Chief. She noted, the Chief believed the key
to being the head of the department was that all the department heads work together,
i.e. cooperation. She added, if they don't cooperate, nothing goes well in the city.
Reynoldson continued, the Fire Chief told her he believed the cooperation of all the
department heads was excellent and that was why everyth~g was going so well.
Reynoldson reported, the Fire Chief acts as both the commander during emergencies,
and administrator; keeping the peace between the flrefighters, doing paperwork,
signing release forms, etc. She added, the Fire Department is on 24-hour call
everyday of the year and the citizenry should be glad they are there to keep them safe.

MOTION:
Councilman Frazer MOVED for adoption of Ordinance No. 1844-99 and

There were no public or council comments. City Manager Ross explained
administration requested the ordinance be considered for introduction and passage
during the same meeting in order to transfer $50,000 into the account to fulfill the
contract and to have a document-ready design ready by March/April. He noted, the
city did receive a $250,000 state grant earlier and with $200,000 from the Airport
Fund, a joint facility involving a maintenance facility and warm storage/fire facility
was to be designed. FAA did not agree with the maintenance facility being co-joined
on the property with ramp access and indicated they would not participate in the
funding of a maintenance facility at least to the level they would of a warm storage/fire
facility.
Ross continued, the issue was separated and FAA will fund the warm storage/fire
facility to the traditional 93.5% level. However, it had not been determined to what
level FAA would fund a maintenance facility. Also, administration was aware FAA
would not approve the proposed site for the maintenance facility. Ross stated, what
was before council was an ordinance to appropriate $50,000 needed for the warm
storage/fire facility design. The funds would not be co-mingled because they would be
two separate projects.
Ross also explained the reason for the introduction, second reading and.passage
consideration of the ordinance at this meeting was because FAA advised
administration they could not guarantee anything. However, if the project is
document-ready in March or April, there would be a possibility of discretionary
funding and could possibly be in the ground in the summer with the project and not
go through the routine heard earlier regarding the fire truck/fence entrance.

Ross noted, there was no guarantee by FAA because AIP and discretionary funding
was up in the air and they were not aware of what discretionary funds would be
available until that date. He added, by asking for two readings, they were requesting
council to expedite the ordinance in hopes the city might qualify for the funds by being
document-ready if FAA had the funding.
Ross stated he hoped he didn't confuse the issue further but administration had
reviewed the funding, knowing the facilities couldn't be co-mingled, and the one
portion of money was short {$50,000) and couldn't be transferred.
Williams thanked administration for going ahead with the project and added, he felt it
showed the city's success in these kinds of projects had been because the city had
been bid-ready with documentation, etc.

Discussion -- Schedule Work Session with Peninsula Legislators/FY 01
Budget Concerns.
Clerk Freas explained she was requested to include on the agenda the setting of a
work session to discuss the upcoming legislative session and the FY 01 budget
concerns. Since there was not much hope of state funds being available for capital
improvements, it was thought the usual setting of a Capital Improvements List would
be ineffective. Freas noted she contacted most of the area legislators and a common
date for a work session was December 1, 1999. A brief discussion followed and
council agreed to hold a work session on December 1, 1999 from 5:30-7:00 p.m.
Freas was asked to have a light meal available for the participants.

completed in the city. A general discussion followed. It was noted the application
would be due. March 9, 2000 and if chosen as one of the 30 finalists, a presentation
would be given in Louisville, Kentucky on dune 3, 2000. It was also noted there would
be some cost to the process, both involving travel (if a finalist), and preparing a
pr. ogram,.i.e, pictures, video, etc. Council had no objections to forming a committee
with the retention of submitting an application. Williams asked the council to help
him identify people to participate on the committee. He also requested a
memorandum be included in the committee, commission and board packets for
volunteers or suggestions of people to be on the committee.
ITEM I:
ADMINISTRATION REPORTS
1-1. Mayor
a. Election of Vice Mayor-- Williams requested election of the Vice Mayor
take place and requested nominations. Porter suggested the election be held until
more council members were present.
MOTION:
Councilman Frazer MOVED to nominate Linda Swarner for vice mayor and Porter
SECONDED the motion.
There were no other nominations and Williams closed the floor for nominations.
VOTE:
There were no objections. SO ORDERED.
b. December 1, 1999 Council Meeting -- Williams reported he would not
be present at the December 1, 1999 council meeting and requested Vice Mayor
Swarner to chair the meeting.
c. Radio Advertising/Buy Local -- Williams reported he was approached
at the Chamber lunch by a representative of K-WAVE/KPEN who asked if the City of
Kenai would be interested in participating in an advertisement campaign which
encouraged residents to shop locally during the holiday season. Williams reviewed the
options and a brief discussion followed. It was pointed out there was no information
as to when the advertising would begin and it was thought if the city did purchase the
advertising, the best time to begin would be the day after Thanksgiving, the beginning
of the Christmas shopping season. There was some uncertainty by council of whether
to purchase the advertising. Clerk Freas was requested to gather additional
information from the radio station and telephone the council for a decision.

PAGE 19
d. Scheduling Future Work Sessions for Planning -- Williams noted
efforts were bcin§ made by CIRI to build a new major airport on Fire Island with a
causeway to Anchorage. With that project in the future, Williams suggested council
hold some strategic planning sessions to discuss how and what Kenai could do to
cOmplement the project, i.e. bedroom community, warehousing, manufacturing, etc.
He also noted, plans needed to include the proposed gas pipeline to Nikiski. Williams
reported, the Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly had approved the appropriation of
$100,000 to develop a promotional package in regard to the gas pipeline.
Williams suggested work sessions be scheduled promptly after December 1 to discuss
how a new airport and the gas pipeline will affect the city. There were no objections to
scheduling work sessions in December.
e. BP/Amoco Purchase of ARCO Alaska -- Williams requested council
authorize him to write a letter of support in regard to the BP/ARCO merger and a
formal resolution could then be brought forward at the December 1, 199 council
meeting. There were no objections from council.
f. Convention Center -- Williams noted the City of Soldotna was
discussing construction of a convention center. Williams noted, last year, 41 million
people attended conventions and stayed three nights or more at hotels during the
convention and many extended their s.tays and included a vacation to the area where
the convention was being held. He stated his concern $12 million in retail sales would
be lost to Interact sales and it would take 24 conventions to make up that lost
revenue.
g. Post Office Sorting Center -- Williams reported he had a brief
discussion with the Postmistress who informed him there would be a sorting center
built on the Kenai Peninsula and a dock will be needed for offloading vans. He noted,
accommodations to do that could be included in the dock designs for the gas pipeline.
h. RDC Meeting -- Williams reported he would be attending the RDC
meeting in Anchorage where they would be discussing the possible placement of
Beluga Whales on the endangered species list and how that would affect development
in the Cook Inlet.
i. Little Theatre -- Williams reported Mrs. Freeberg received a major grant
for small theatres. He suggested that item be included in council's overall planning to
see if there would be room in Kenai.
j. Health Center -- Williams suggested an emergency trauma center be
included in the design of the new Public Health Center as it would be advantageous to
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
NOVEMBER 17, 1999
PAGE 20
having one close to the runway as well as being closer to the Nikiski residents. He
requested administration investigate when the design work will start and have a
member of staff involved in the design.
Ross reported La Shot was working with the design committee and he (Ross) was on
the Strategic Planning Committee for the Hospital Board and they had been working
on the issue. He added, he didn't think an emergency trauma center would be
possible based upon the manning of that type of facility. Ross noted, they had been
reviewing designs to utilize special clinics (some from Anchorage) to help cut down
multiple trips to the hospital prior to procedures, etc. He added, this would take
advantage of the airport, which was part of the considerations. Ross stated, trying to
equip two trauma centers for 24-hour care just was not in the cards at this time,
however the process was underway.
Williams stated a new public health center had not been possible for some time either
and he felt an emergency trauma center should be investigated and fit it into the
picture. He noted, the Kenai residents pay twice as much property tax to the Borough
than they do to the city and this project was taken on by the Borough primarily
because they have the Hospital Service Area outside the city. He added, he didn't
think there was a law not allowing the Hospital Service Area to include the City of
Kenai if the people of the city want to do it. Williams added, as the study moves on,
the citizens could be asked if they wanted to financially support (by a ¥~ mill increase)
a first-aid facility. He noted, because of the number of people living between Kenai
and Nikiski, the idea deserved a close look.
Ross stated he didn't think a 24-hour emergency center was in the cards at this time
and he didn't know if it would be in the future. He added, the Strategic Planning
Committee had a person on board who did a fairly extensive survey of the
Kenai/Nikiski area to find out what type of specialties and utilization they would have
for the facility. Ross noted, an extensive report was available on the direction of the
health center which he believed, the direction would benefit the citizens and bring in
services not now available on the Peninsula because of the proximity of the airport.
He added, it would be like an outreach program for outpatient services, physical
therapy, etc. and provide more convenience to the citizens of Kenai and Nikiski.
Ross added, duplication of an emergency trauma would be extremely hard to man
(including ambulances responding to the center instead of the hospital-) on a cost-
effective basis at this time. Williams stated the need for the service should be
investigated, i.e. reviewing the ambulance runs and see how many come from Nikiski
going to Soldotna, but could be served in Kenai. The same question should be asked
of ambulance runs from Kenai to Soldotna and whether they could be better served in
Kenai.

NOVEMBER 17, 1999
PAGE 21
Ross stated he would forward Williams' comments to the Committee, however there
have been occasions in which local clinics tried to stay open extended hours to handle
emergency needs and all failed financially. He added, based on the studies, he didn't
think an emergency trauma center would be financially feasible. Ross noted, it could
be a different issue if the citizens wanted to fund a trauma center through additional
taxation.
I-2. City Manager
a. Code Revisions -- Ross noted the code revisions would be brought
forward during the second meeting in December instead of the first as previously
reported by the Student City Manager.
b. Fire Wise Pilot Project -- Ross reported a pilot project in conjunction
with Fire Wise Was being developed, which is part of the Project Impact program. He
explained, the project would be to remove the beetle-infested trees from East Kenai
Trails and the Offer Park area. As part of the project, the city would be contracting,
through a Special Use Permit, with a local business to remove the timber. Ross noted,
there would be no cost to the city.
Ross also stated, the project goal is to involve neighborhoods, i.e. Inlet Woods. If it is
economically feasible for a private business to do the removal, it may be possible to
request proposals for large sections and citizens could have the opportunity to
participate to have beetle-infested trees removed from their properties at lesser rates
because they would be participating through a larger package.
Ross noted, Frates and Elson were working in developing the program and were also
investigating the possibility of grant funding for reforestation as part of the project. He
added, if council had questions, he encouraged them to walk through the targeted
areas as 70-80% of the trees were infested. He noted, the program would remove
anything over 8" in diameter.
Ross stated he anticipated having a Special Use Permit for Archtech to participate in
the project before council at the second meeting in December. He also added, they
would be doing the pilot project on public property. Oilers were allowing them to use
the ballpark as a staging area and the slash would be burned. Ross added, the fire
loading needed to be addressed within the next three yearS.
Attorney-- No report.
City Clerk-- No report.
Williams noted he and Ross prepared letters to Congressman Young, complimenting
him on his work on the Conservation Wildlife and Recreation legislation. He noted,
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
NOVEMBER 17, 1999
PAGE 22
the legislation would put approximately $187,000 million in Alaska during the first
year. Williams stated he hoped some of those monies could be garnered for use in the
bluff restoration project. Williams requested council to sign the letter along with him.
Williams noted Ross' letter outlined the city's intentions would be if they would receive
some of the funding. Council had no objections.
Finance Director
Finance Director Semmens stated he a received a report from the Borough noting the
taxable sales for the third quarter increased by 2.08%. He added, based on the first
three quarters of the year, it was about average.
Public Works Managers
a. Multi-Purpose Facility-- La Shot noted there had been some concern
voiced of whether the multi-purpose facility construction would be completed by the
deadline. He noted, he had received no comments that it would be finished, however it
would be close.

Airport Manager-- No report.

Frazer -- Welcomed Councilwoman Porter to her first meeting. He noted he
testified on the BP/ARCO merger and comments were heavily in favor of the merger in
Kenai. He noted of another hearing at the Legislative Information Office in regard to
the merger on Thursday. Frazer noted he planned on testifying at that hearing as
well.
Williams -- Reported the Borough Assembly passed two significant ordinances;
design work authorization for the new Public Health Center and funding for the
investigation of developing a Port Authority and development of a promotional
program for the gas pipeline to come to Nikiski. Willies stated the city supported the
port authority concept, but would hold final approval until knowing what the city's
costs would be for the port authority.

Water/Sewer Rates for Oiler Park
Our Code has provision for non-metered 'flat rate' water and sewer charges. The rate includes a
demand charge based on service line size, and a use charge for the number and type of facilities at
the location. City water and sewer customers using the fiat rate option for 2" lines are billed $149
per month for demand charges. Depending on use category and facilities these customers pay
total fees in the range of $341 to $588 per month.
The currem schedule for water and sewer charges does not include a rate applicable to Oiler Park.
The situation at this location is high water use due to grass watering, but relatively Iow sewer use.
The location uses no services from October to April. The closest match to Oiler Park for use
charges is a recreational facility where the use charge is $7.00 for water and $19.25 for sewer per
restroom. The difference with this rate from the following proposed rate is that the demand
charge only is charged from October through April. If Oiler Park were to be determined to be a
recreation facility the annual charge would be $2,050.00.
With Council's approval, I am adding a new section to Schedule B- Commercial Service (Non-
Metered) under User Charge as follows:
Water
Ballfields/Playfields
Per Restroom $7.00
(Use charge only from October through April)
Sewer
$19.25
Oiler Park has a two inch (2") service line and two restrooms. The monthly demand charge for a
2" line is $40.00 water and $109.00 sewer. The rate for Oiler Park would be:
Demand Charge.
Use Charge
$149.00 per month, May through September
$ 52.50 per month, all year
The momhly rate during their season would be $201.50 and $52.50 per month in the off season.
The annual total would be $1,375.00. Many other possibilities were analyzed. This seems to fit
the situation best.

Council Members of the City of Kenai
Dear Council Member.
The following attached outline is intended to bring council members attention to who and what
the Peninsula Oilers are. Also the Oilers would like to dispel some of the rumors and myths regarding
what the Oilers do. where their money, comes from,, where the money goes, and the players jobs situations.
In other words just how the Oilers benefit from and contribute to the community.
We would appreciate if you would take the time to read this outline and we would welcome any questions
you may have

Peninsula Oilers Baseball Club, Inc.
Aims, Goals and Successes
The Peninsula Oilers Baseball Club, Inc. was formed in 1974 to promote baseball
and foster education on the Kenai Peninsula. The Oilers are a non profit 501 c(3)
organization led by a 25 member volunteer board of directors made up from a cross
section of civic-minded men and women from the local area. These directors perform
many hours in the duties necessary to both run and fund a baseball team to compete at a
national level.
The Oilers compete in the Alaska Baseball League against other Alaskan teams
and teams from all over the country and at times against international teams. The Oilers
have enjoyed tremendous success in the Alaska League and on many occasions have
represented the State at the National Baseball Congress World Series in Wichita, Kansas.
This tournament brings together, to crown a national champion, in excess of 30 teams,
representing nearly 50 leagues from around the country. The Oilers have been crowned
champion three times and have won more tournament games than any team during the
decade of the nineties. The championship game is televised nationally (usually tape
delayed) and the Oilers 5 appearances in the championship games has been invaluable in
promoting not only Alaska but the Kenai Peninsula as well.
The Oilers players and coaches are recruited from the top baseball schools in
America (and on one occasion a college player from South Korea). Also many local
players have performed with the team and gained invaluable training from the highest
quality of coaches in the country.
Some examples of the level of coaches that the Oilers bring to the peninsula can be
exemplified by 5 year Oiler coach Mark Newman who was recemly named President of
Baseball Operations for the New York Yankees. Gordon Blakely, an Oiler player in
1974/75 is now director of International scouting for the Yankees. Rich Hacker and Dan
Radison were Major League coaches, in fact there have been nearly a dozen former Oiler
players and coaches that have applied their coaching wares in the "Big Show." Also many
former coaches and players have become head coaches and assistant coaches at major
college Div. I schools.
Young players come to Alaska to sharpen their baseball skills and help prepare
themselves for possible careers in baseball. Over 1000 former Oiler players have gone on
to various levels of professional baseball, with nearly 100 making it to the Big Leagues.
Local players have joined the team and with the help of Oiler coaches have received
baseball scholarships to some of the top schools in the country. The talent level that the
Oilers put on the field draw a large number of major league baseball scouts to the
community. While these scouts are on hand they view younger kids in the area. In several
instances local players have been signed to professional contracts, before they were
eligible to play Alaska League Baseball. One of these local players, Marshall Boze, went
on to pitch in the big leagues.
Those Oiler players that request it are assisted in obtaining part-time employment
while in Alaska. Because of baseball scheduling these jobs are usually relegated to odd
jobs with a very minimum of hours available to work. In past years the average player
earns between $600 and $700 dollars for their time working in Alaska. On the same token
the average player spends over $700 while in Alaska. Families of many players and
coaches take their vacations in Alaska to see their kids play and enjoy their visits
immensely while utilizing local hotels, restaurants, rental ear agencies, fishing guides and
the numerous other things tourists do. The Oiler games also draw many fans not only from
the peninsula but also from around the state as fans, friends and families follow the visiting
teams.
The Oilers players and coaches conduct free youth baseball clinics for little league
boys and girls in Kenai, Soldotna, Homer and Seward. These clinics are conducted at no
charge and are attended by over 1000 boys and girls annually and provide kids invaluable
coaching they would be unable to get elsewhere without paying large fees. Also, each year
the Oilers award five college, scholarships to graduating 12t~ grade boys and girls from
around the borough.
~The Oilers board of directors are responsible for the financial stability of the
organization. It is very costly to operate a team that competes on a national level. Fund
raising events, advertising sales, donations, along with revenUe derived from bingo and
pull-tab operations, allow the Oilers to maintain their presence in the baseball world. The
funds raised go towards the high Cost of transportation, uniforms, food and hoUsing and
maintaining the facilities necessary to mn a baseball team.
The ballpark that the Oilers play in was carved out of a raw unused area made
available by the City of Kenai. Hard work by not only the Oilers organization but the
efforts of many volunteers throughout the community made this possible. The Oilers are
unique in the fact that they operate a ballpark, on their own, without the aid of tax money.
All of the ballparks in which the Oilers compete, not only in Alaska but nationwide were
either built, and/or are maintained by, not only local but state and federal taxes.
In the past the Oilers have made the ballpark available to numerous other
organizations. The American Legion Post 20 Twins, at no cost, actually use the ballpark
nearly as much as the Oilers, due to the fact that their season starts earlier and ends later
than the Oilers. The Twins not only play games and practice but also have hosted district
and state toumarnents in the ballpark. The Twins help provide maintenance in preparing
the field for each summers use and in this manner is very helpful to the Oilers. The Oilers
annually play .a game with the Twins in which all funds collected go to help the American
Legion Baseball program. Also in the past the Oilers have made the ballpark available to
the Kenai Middle School to be used in the fall for their girls soccer program. Fund raising
events for other organization such as the Peninsula Food Bank are held annually during
Oiler games. Crimestoppers, Inc. asked and were granted the use of the field for a charity
sot~ball event. Possibly the Oilers largest crowd ever was on hand in 1999 for a game to
help promote the Challenger Learning Center. The Oilers do not charge organizations to
utilize the ballpark or it's facilities. The Oilers policy is to allow multiple use without
charge when scheduling of Oiler events permit.
The Oilers organization is proud of it's facilities and continue to work hard to
maintain and upgrade it as time and funds allow. The upgraded grandstand area, batting
cages, dugouts, full field tarp, parking lots, fences and presently the new public restrooms
are examples of the commitments made.
The Oilers also recognize and thank other organizations that have helped in their
efforts. The school district donated the bleachers, Oakland/Alameda County, California
donated the grandstand seats, and the City of Kenai did a great job of landscaping the
fight of way near the entrance to the ballpark. Hardly a business or an organization in the
area has not contributed in one way or another.
The Oilers recognize the fine arrangemems they maintain with the City of Kenai.
The priority of the Peninsula Oilers Baseball Club, Inc. is to cominue to mn an
organization that the emire community can take pride in. In the future by cominuing to
maintain and upgrade these facilities the Oilers will mm over to the City of Kenai a great
facility that has cost the city virtually nothing.
The attached email was received recemly. By itself this letter makes it all
worthwhile.

What a wonderful summer you gave us.
ATTOOOO3.gif ·
We sure do miss our young men both on and off the fields. The 1999 "Boys of
Summer" delighted us on every occasion with their spectacular abilities, but most of all,
with their sincere love of the sport, the fans and the youth of this State. My son has
found his new Hero's. No longer do they come from Hollywood's dream world, but from around
the country they came to Alaska to play ball, promote teamwork and individuals self
esteem. To this day our dreams and hearts are with them all. For what they gave to us we
can never repay. The brought a family back together with their kindness and through their
hard work on the fields. We saw true teamwork at every moment of every game and then the
most amazing thing for the fans, these men would stay and autograph balls for the kids,
shake the hands and talk with the parents that were feeling young again, and for some of
us parents this was really needed. Today the four of us are again a family thanks to the
Peninsula Oilers Baseball Club. We still play front yard baseball and role play as future
Peninsula Oilers ' I believe that God brought us to you this summer when we had started to
forget what family ment. Summertime had started to be a time of all work, NOT ANY MORE, I
SWEAR IT. From this summer on it's family first and that includes our KENAI PENINSULA
OILERS and their fans. Even that poor disillusioned man in Anchorage, you remember the
one, he loved you so much that he followed you everywhere...
God BI ess You All
and please, hurry back.
The only cure to the addition is more more more ......

In Opposition to Property Tax Initiative
Resolution 99~00- 3
WHEREAS, an initiative petition application was fried with the Lieutenant Governor's office on March
12, 1999, and certified on June 8, 1999, which petition has been titled 99PTAR; and
WHEREAS, the proposed bill sets the value of property at its assessment on January 1 of the first year it
is in effect, and assessment increases are generally capped at two percent per year; and
WHEREAS, the proposed bill caps property taxes at one percent (10 mills) of assessed value; and
WHEREAS, current property tax assessments in the municipality range from 18.17 mills to 9.68 mills,
with an average of approximately 16 mills; and
WHEREAS, property taxes are the single largest source of revenue for the Municipality; and
WHEREAS, a 10 mill cap could mean an annual loss of as much as $80 million in property tax revenue
to the Municipality, which is more than 30 percent of the proposed MOA general operating budget for 2000; and
WHEREAS, the potential ill effects of this initiative are greatly exacerbated by:
(1) a $6.1 million reduction in state funding for Safe Communities/State Revenue
Sharing in 1999, with a similar or larger cut likely in 2000, and
(2) the difficulty of imposing a sales tax in Anchorage to make up for loss of property tax
revenue as a consequence of passage of a 1998 citizen initiative in Anchorage to
require a super majority (60 percent) of the voters to approve a sales tax; and
WHEREAS, a 10 mill cap on property tax assessments would make it difficult for the Municipality to
sell bonds to finance future capital projects approved by voters, and the initiative could result in significant
inequities in taxes paid for comparable properties within the Municipality; and
WHEREAS, a significant loss of property tax revenue would gravely impact the capability of
Anchorage and other municipalities in the state to provide essential services for citizens, and there is no
adequate remaining safety net for provision of these services; and
WHEREAS, concern over the burden on property owners is real, the proposed limitation is excessive,
even draconian, in both its nature and consequences;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce urges the
Municipality of Anchorage and the State of Alaska to act now to assess the potential impact if the initiative goes
to a vote and passes; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this Chamber urges the Assembly, Mayor, and Governor to use all
available legal means to educate citizens on the negative effects passage of this bill would have; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this Chamber urges the Anchorage Assembly and the
administration to pursue a concerted effort to generate alternative sources of revenue which will afford a
measure of tax relief to property owners; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this Chamber urges members of the Alaska Municipal League,
communities throughout the state, and the Alaska State Chamber of Commerce to undertake a serious
examination of the potential impact this initiative could have on their citizens and communities and to make
their voices heard.
Approved this 5th day of November 1999.

Dear Uayor Williams,
In 1996, the community of Chugiak-Eagle River (population 30,000) had the honor of hosting
the Arctic Winter Games for the State of Alaska. As background, the games began in 1970 as a
joint effort between Canada and Alaska to create athletic opportunities for northern
communities comparable to what existed in southern jurisdictions. The games have evolved
into a spectacular international event. At present, they are held every two years with the
location rotating between participating jurisdictions including Alaska, Russia, Greenland, and a
number of Canadian provinces.
In 2006, Alaska will again be eligible to host these Games. We are writing to invite you to
consider this event in your community. These Games left an incredible legacy in Chugiak-Eagle
River-one that not only had a tremendously positive economic benefit but also brought out the
very best in our 30,000 residents. Every recreation program and school participated in some
capacity, facilities were upgraded, and people had the unique opportunity to share the amazing
experience of hosting a prestigious international athletic and cultural event.
From March 5-11, 2000 Yukon will host the games in Whitehorse. This is a wonderful
opportunity for any community interested in bidding on the 2006 Games to observe what
happens and experience the excitement and benefits of hosting the largest northern athletic
event in the world. We encourage you to attend the 2000 Games in Whitehorse and .to give
serious consideration to bidding on the upcoming Alaskan Games in 2006.
I would be glad to answer any questions regarding the games. Please feel free to call me at
907-694-4702 or John Rodda (907-694-2011) and/or Wendy Shimer (907-479-6104) Arctic

Boat Wake Study Update - Doug Vincent-Lang, ADF&G
Doug Vincent-Lang stated he has been assigned to coordinate the expenditure for the boat
wake study and has met with the Bob Sanders of the Corps of Engineers to discuss the
study. He spoke regarding matching the 60k in ADF&G funds with in-kind services such as
'K'enai River Special Management
Area Advisory Board
October 21, 1999
Page 1
providing boats and operators, miscellaneous labor, and statistical help. The COE requires
a 50-50 match for funding.
He noted that F&G will only agree to the study if an operational plan is first developed. He
stated the study will measure the wave height as it hits the shore and will look at variables
such as hull shape, jet vs. prop engines, and displacement in the boat (numbers of
passengers). Stormy Lake in North Kenai has been chosen as the lake test site. A lake was
chosen for control purposes so that variables found in a fiver won't affect the data.
Ames had misgivings about not having any of the tests performed in the Kenai River.
Trasky believed that originally they were going to do a subset of tests in the fiver and then
correlate the data. Trasky stressed the need to do some in-fiver tests.
Degemes questioned if different horsepower engines were going to be tested. Mr. Vincent-
Lang stated that speed is what they will need to measure and not necessarily horsepower.
Degemes stated that if different horsepower engines m'e not tested, the study would be hard
to sell to the public. Trasky suggested meeting again with the Corps to actually pin down
which horsepower engines will be tested.
Chairman Wellman voiced frustration because they have been hashing these items out for
IV2 years and he had thought this issue was already settled. In working previously with the
Corps, there was great difficulty in getting an operational plan. Now it sounds like they are
doing it all over again and redefining the perimeters of the test. He stated what the Board
wants is a finished document that will be useful and is scientifically correct, however, it also
needs to be believable to the public. He believed that if a portion of the study was not done
in the fiver and not performed with different horsepower engines, then the public will not
believe it and the $60,000 is wasted. He believed the study would not be able to withstand a
legal challenge if at least some of the tests were not performed in the fiver.
There was discussion regarding how a wave reacts in a still water lake versus moving water
in a fiver and testing speed versus horsepower. Different shapes of hulls and displacement
variables were also discussed.
Chairman Wellman desired to form a sub-committee to meet with the Corps again to
discuss the components of the operational plan. A sub-committee consisting of King,
Degemes, Trasky, and Wellman was formed. ~
Degemes also wanted to discuss in-kind services and the timing of the tests with the Corps.
She hoped it could occur in the spring as it would be easier to find volunteers before the
guiding season began.
King hoped to actually use Kenai River boats. He agreed if the tests were performed before
the season, it would be easier to find volunteers.
Trasky suggested contacting boat manufacturers to see if they could donate boats, motors,
and operators. The committee will meet before the next board meeting to try to iron out the
details for the study objectives and details.

Prioritization of Board Effort for 1999-2000 Season'
,
Degemes desired to hear the Board's comments and wanted to narrow down the priorities to
four or five key issues to work on this winter.
Lancaster suggested changing the list completely by putting time frames on it.
Ross noted that high on the list was contacting policy makers regarding adopting the
KRCMP, however, an education/awareness plan informing the community was very low.
He believed informing the community should be out in front because the policy makers
usually will not support any plan unless their constituents ask for it. Degemes felt that the
greatest long term impact on the fiver would be generated by having the local governmental
bodies change some land use policies. Trasky ag'reed that education is important and felt
that it was occurring slowly. Navarre ag'reed that community education/awareness is
important and that the policy-making bodies need to be on board by the adoption of the
plan.
Trasky noted that the HGM Wetlands study has been ongoing. They are writing it now and
it should be ready by next summer.
Ames wanted to prepare an education awareness plan and target the elected officials.
Ross stated that if the boat wake study actually materializes, there should be an effort to
widely publicize it to show the public the need for the study and to educate the public on
what is being accomplished with the wake study. Guides volunteering their boats and time
should also be publicly recognized. He believed that positive publicity should be
established before the plan is brought before a borough assembly or city council to adopt.
Navarre did not think plan adoption by local government could wait or it will be history and
old news. He noted that the first plan was never adopted by the Borough. He stated that
while the borough administration might have knowledge of what is in the plan, the elected
officials do not and probably have not even looked at the book. He felt work sessions
should be scheduled so the board members could answer any question an elected official
may have.
Degemes inquired if it would be better to work with the Borough or the CitieS; first. Mullen
suggested working with them together. King recommended preparing a summary pertinent
for each municipality.
Lancaster stated that in speaking with Senator Torgerson, unless the KRSMA land additions
that the plan recommended will result in "no net gain" for state park lands, the bill won't be
introduced.
Mullen would rather work on the local level. She stated many officials will not take the
time to come to a meeting unless they get a personal invitation or card. She agreed that
there needs to be public support before officials will do anything. She suggested an

educational/informational meeting.
Golden pointed out that the educational efforts need to stress all that has been accomplished
because of the Board's efforts, such as habitat restoration projects throughout the fiver
system, the Stream Watch program and many other activities that have occurred to improve
the resource.
Chairman Wellman scheduled a work session prior to the next meeting to continue
discussion and select four areas that committees could work on this winter.
Discussion of Board of Fish Proposals Addressing Kenai River Gui&s:
Chairman Wellman referred to the third draft of a letter to be sent to the Board of Fish and
recommended the Board consider sending it. A committee refined the letter and generated
several drafts to arrive at this version.
King informed the Board that he just learned that the Department of Fish & Game is going
to recommend to the Board of Fish that districting is not a viable solution. Even so, he
agreed that the letter should still be sent.
In the paragraph where impacts are listed, Lancaster suggested changing the order and
dropping the numbering so it would not mislead someone to think that they are listed in
order of importance.
Navarre felt the letter reflects the Board'
job. ~
s discussion and thought the committee did a ~eat
Vincent-Lang updated the Board and stated the guide survey was just finished. It revealed
that if the guides were forced into selecting one area, it would be the lower fiver, which
would cause more crowding. He confirmed that ADF&G is not going to recommend
approval of requiring guides choose districts when the Board of Fish meets later this month.
MOTION:
Degemes moved that the letter be sent as amended.
Whitmore-Painter seconded the motion and it was
approved by unanimous consent.
Kenai River Lands Addition.- Strategy P!.anning:
Degemes wanted to further discuss the Kenai River Lands Addition even if the Board
briefly discussed it during the strategy session earlier. She stated that an individual is
interested in getting a preference fight on one of the selected parcels near Alaska Nellie's
Lodge. She believed it will be a hot issue for locals.
Lancaster did not believe that Senator Torgerson would introduce the bill if it contains a net
addition to the state park system's acreage. Mullen stated that if someone else, such as a
minority member, introduced the bill, it would not go anywhere. She suggested using the
brochure and starting an education plan. She believed this issue could possibly become an

election iSsue next year.
Navarre stated now is the time to be moving on this issue. He felt the representatives
needed to be re-briefed and a packet needed to be' prepared for them stating our concerns for
getting the bill introduced. He thought that part of the problem is a lack of communication
between the Board and the representatives. He suggested inviting them to the next meeting
and allowing them a half-hour to communicate with the Board on the issue.
Ross suggested scheduling speakers before various Chambers of Commerce. Legislators
attend those luncheons and will hear how the public is responding to those issues.
MOTION:
Degernes moved to establish a committee to
schedule meetings within the various communities
and to report on their progress at the next
meeting. Painter-Whitmore seconded.
MOTION:
Navarre moved for a friendly amendment to the
motion to include inviting Senator Torgerson and
Representative Phillips to the next meeting,
Degernes and Painter-Whitmore concurred.
AMENDED MOTION PASSED: Unanimous without objection
Trasky thought it was a good idea to invite the Legislators to the next meeting. Navarre
thought it would be a way to brief them on issues like preference fights for the Alaska
Nellie's -area.
Chairman Wellman formed a committee to begin the scheduling of meetings. Members of
that committee are' Lancaster, Degemes, Mullen, Ross, and Navarre.
Discussion - Institution of a User Fee - Committee Formation:
Chairman Wellman believed it was now time to start thinking about a user fee and how that
could be accomplished. He assigned Degemes and J. H. Richardson to be on the
committee.
IV.
Before proceeding any further, Degemes will assign Ranger Berkhahn to do'some research
to see what other states are doing, if anything.

Board Appointments:
Degemes reported that Paul Shadura and Brett Huber were submitted for appointment to the
Board along with the re-appointments of Jim H. Richardson, Ted Wellman and Jeff King.
Vince O'Reilly requested not to be reappointed due to health reasons.

Degemes noted there was some concern of over-representation if Brett Huber from Kenai
River Sportfishing Association was appointed with Jim Golden also on the board and a
member of KRSA.
Bo
Fisler:
MP 37-45 Sterling Highway Project Update and Other Permit Issues- Suzanne
Fisler noted that the MP 37-45 Sterling Highway Project has shut down for the winter. A
walk-through was performed through the area just upstream of the Chugach Electric
substation. Additional culverts will be placed to allow the streams to pass directly down
into Dave's Creek. She noted several breaches of the permit stipulations: one was a sheet
piling bulkhead installation along Quartz Creek. The sheet pile was to have been placed
well behind the existing natural fiver bank, leaving the creek side vegetation undisturbed.
However, the contractor excavated a significant portion of the bank when he installed the
sheet piling, leaving a very thin strip of vegetation along the creek bank. This is not likely
to remain once spring water flows rise, so root wads may have to be placed to provide some
habitat cover in front of the sheet piling.
The reclamation of the gravel pit is in its final stages. She will be looking for a final draft
next week and will work with DGC through the winter for permit amendments. Fish'&
Game and State Parks have made notice of what has occurred for future permit applications.
DOT was not cited for the improper sheet piling installation because they were not in the
water, not a lot of habitat damage occurred on state park property and DOT has a~eed to go
back and repair it. .
Shuster pointed out another part of the project that had problems was at Tern Lake due to
unforeseen rock problems on the west side of the highway. The difficulty was in finding
stable rock when they were blasting. More and more unstable rock needed to be removed
until they found good stable rock for the road side. The contractor hauled an enormous
amount of rock away from this area of the project.
Gary Leipitz, ADF&G, stated that he has been monitoring the project regularly, and what
occurred with the sheet piling installation did not 'affect Quartz Creek waters, but rather
affected the buffer zone to the stream. To DOT's and QAP's credit, he noted where they
went the extra mile to protect the habitat with an incident at Tern Lake. The silt was
percolating across and under the roadbed, and they shut down as soon as it was noted and
put in an additional silt fence to protect water quality at Tern Lake.
Lancaster voiced strong opposition in allowing the pit in the Quartz/Dave Creek area in the
first place.
Fisler stated that ADF&G tested a new location for the chinook sonar site, and chose the
location at Falling in Hole where property was purchased from Pat Carter. They found that
it had some factors that made it an unsuitable site. The area was a spawning site, it
sustained a lot of boat traffic, and the channel configuration was not good for the equipment

to work. ADF&G will continue to look for an alternative site; a lower fiver site is
preferable. ADF&G has been made aware that EVOS sites will not be suitable for sonar
purposes because of the requirement to protect habitat on these lands from damage.
Fisler stated she has received a new set of plans for the Russian River parking area at the
ferry crossing. She suggested asking Mark Chase to make a presentation to the Board at a
future meeting.
Leipitz advised that DEC wants to do some additional monitoring at the River Terrace
Laundromat site because a higher level of contamination at the location has been
determined. He noted that this may affect the highway project. DEC may run some dye
tests to see where the contamination may be entering the Kenai River, and to determine the
levels of contamination in the fiver.
Co
Cpmmercial Operations Committee- Jeff King:
King reported the committee worked on guide stipulations regarding accident notification
and the use of a guide boat after they become unregistered for the season. It was
recommended to have the orientation program run in a three-year cycle concurrent with the
Fishery board cycle. That way just new guides and guides that have sustained citations will
be required to take the class on the off years.
PUBLIC COMMENT- None
ADJOURNMENT
A. Board Comments:
Golden stated he was willing to step down if there is a conflict with Brett Huber and he both
being on the Board because he felt Brett's contribution to the Board would be very valuable.
Ames would like to again address the contamination at the DOT site and the River Terrace
site because them are a lot of questions and the sites look terrible. He requested an update
at next meeting. He also felt it was improper for ADF&G to locate the sonar site on the
Carter property.
Lancaster agreed with Ames regarding the River Terrace site. He stated th~.t the Soldotna
Bridge project was scheduled for next year but now them are major problems with the
contamination and the highway project. He suggested adding this topic to the next agenda
for discussion.
Trasky thanked Fisler and Leipitz for their valuable work in monitoring the highway
project. Although there may be some problems, it has been one of the better DOT projects.
Mullen echoed Ames' statements. She would like to have the contaminated soils removed
first and then treated. She requested an inventory of expertise on fiver issues including
films, speakers, brochures (from agencies and private resources) as it would help in setting
