'RESOLUTION NO. 2000-3
A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, SUPPORTING
LEGISLATION FOR MORTGAGE LOANS COVERED UNDER THE ALASIC~ HOUSING
FINANCE CORPORATION HOUSING ASSISTANCE PROGRAM TO BE EQUAL AMONG
ALL GEOGRAPHIC AREAS OF ALASKA WITHIN THE SPECIFICATIONS OF THE
FUNDING PROGRAM.
WHEREAS, inequities in the current mortgage loan program regulations discriminate
against many small communities in Alaska by offering preferential interest rate loans
outside of the municipal boundaries; and,
WHEREAS, existing legislation treats some citizens unfairly with regard to the
opportunity they may have in financing a new home; and,
WHEREAS, this discriminatory type of regulation causes many cities not to grow or
increase their tax base at a time when both state and local budgets are under fire; and,
WHEREAS, in many cases municipalities offer a variety of services to their residents
that are not available to those outside the municipality unless special taxes are
enacted, taxes that in most instances cause the homeowner to pay more than is
recovered by the lower interest rate; and,
WHEREAS, many citizens who wish to live inside many of Alaska's municipalities are
not treated on an equal basis with those who prefer a ~lifferent geographical location for
their home because of interest differentials now allowed.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI,
ALASKA, that it supports legislation for mortgage loan programs under the housing
assistance program of the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation which will create
equality in f'mancing among all geographic areas of Alaska regardless of population or
location within the specifications of the funding program.

ITEM 5: OLD BUSINESS
Discussion- Storage/Locker Type Buildings for Gravel/Ski Strip and
Float Plane Basin ,
Cronkhite referred to the memo written by Keith Holland regarding aircraft
storage boxes and the concerns he had with them. Cronkhite stated a final
decision was not required at this meeting but the discussion could continue in
order to get input from the Commission. Cronkhite added, it was their desire to
have a standard in place by springtime.
Discussion took place on the height of the storage boxes which could be .
different for the float basin and gravel/ski strip. Holland explained that his
considerations with the height of the boxes was the wind, aircraft safety and
drifting snow. Holland continued, any type of storage box or locker would be an
obstacle with regard to snow removal and drifting. It wouldn't make any
difference at the float plane basin but most certainly would at the gravel tie-
down area.
Bielefeld questioned the quantity of oil that could be stored in the boxes.
Holland explained that FAA regulations address the quantity of oil and
chemicals, but thought a reasonable amount to be stored would be enough for
an oil change. The main concern regarding this issue was to not have an
excessive amount of flammables or contaminants stored in either area.
After further discussion Cronkhite asked the Commission to call her with any
further suggestions and the issue would be brought back in the spring for
approval'.
5-b. Discussion - Airport LOgo Design
Cronkhite distributed a memorandum from the City Clerk addressing requests
for donations. Also included was the City's policy regarding such requests. The
policy noted the City Council would make the i'mal decision on whether or not
requests for donations from the public or businesses are necessary. Cronkhite
stated, if a contest were held for the airport logo then the prize would come from
the Airport budget.
Discussion took place on whether or not a contest should be held for the airport
logo or if a f'mn should be contracted to provide one. Holland provided a file of
logos that were used in the past. It was noted hat the airport had rights to
those logos with the exception of the one used in a pamphlet.
Cronkhite was to contact the high school graphics arts instructor to get some
ideaa on how to proceed with a conteat. Cronkhite noted the conteat would
have a disclaimer stating the Airport had full rights to the logos submitted and
it would also state the logo may or may not be used.
ITEM 6: NEW BUSINESS
Discussion- Introduction of Assistant Air Traffic Manager Barry
Beg~s
Cronkhite introduced Barry Beggs, Assistant Air Traffic Manager for the new
contract tower. Cronkhite announced plans to bring the entire tower staff to
AIRPORT COMMISSION ME~ING MINUTES
DECEMBER 9, 1999
PAGE 2
the next meeting for introduction and a welcome to Kenai. This would be an
agenda item and will include a question/answer session. Coffee and cookies
would be provided after the meeting.
Beggs thanked Cronkhite for the invitation to attend the meeting and stated the
Air Traffic Manager, Joe Reynolds, was out of town but would be present at the
next meeting. Beggs stated his staff had experienced some growing pains at the
beginning but those were being worked out.
Lorenzen suggested either the Manager or Assistant Manager attend the
monthly Airport Commission meetings as they could be very valuable to them.
Beggs stated it was their intention to attend the meetings in an effort to work
out any user problems that may exist. Beggs noted they received many noise
complaints.
6-b. Discussion- November Enplanements
Cronkhite provided Commissioners with a copy of the November enPlanements.
It was noted Yute Air's percentage increased in November due to the time of
year.
Knackstedt asked if Yute, who stopped service from Anchorage to Kenai, had
any outstanding debt with the City. Cronkhite replied, Yute paid their lease
through December but had some outstanding landing fees that would be
addressed by the City Attorney.
Knackstedt asked if the ticket counter would be available to another service
operator if it was needed. Cronkhite stated that issue was discussed and WOUld
be worked out with Yute's liquidation team and the City Attorney. Bielefeld
asked if there was any interest from another operator. Cronkhite answered
there was.
ITEM 7:
AIRPORT MAI/AGER'S REPORT
Cronkhite announced the airport staff would be onsite on New Year's Eve as the
FAA required a series of equipment and system checks at 12'01 a.m. A report
will be presented to the Anchorage Regional office prior to 2:00 a.m.
Cronkhite stated all was going well at the airport and there was interest in
counter space. It was hoped the company would be in place by danuary.
Cronkhite wished everyone a happy holiday season.
Knackstedt asked if the moose and/or wolves were a problem. Cronkhite stated
they weren't as prevalent as in previous years, which was probably dUe to the
lack of snow.

Knackstedt asked about the temporary gate for the fire department. Holland
reported the gate was in place but the electrical work needed to be done and
would take place within the next couple of days.
ITEM 8:
COMMISSIONER CO _MME. NT_R AND_ QUESTIONS
Commissioner Lorenzen asked when the special meeting with the contact
tower personnel would be held. Cronkhite explained it was her intent to have
the personnel present at the next regularly scheduled Airport meeting and the
question/answer session would be an agenda item.
Lorenzen asked if there were any plans for pilot control lighting. Cronkhite
replied, there were no plans as it would be very costly and problematic.
Cronkhite noted a portion of the runway was owned by the City and another
portion by the FAA.
Commissioner Knackstedt asked about the status of the runway designation.
Lorenzen stated she contacted the Tower and apparently a user meeting would
be scheduled. Cronkhite reminded the Commission the runway designation
wa~ set following a national ~tandard and it could not be changed at the local
level. Cronkhite added, a memo from the FAg. denying a request to change wa~
on file. Lorenzen asked ff she could get a copy of the memo as it may help her
in her pursuit to get the designation changed. Cronkhite stated she could stop
by the office to pick up a copy.
Holland explained the history of the runway designation and previous requests
for a change which ultimately ended up with a denial from the FAA. Holland
pointed out a change would be costly as it would involve repainting the runway,
new signs, etc.
Cronkhite stated she didn't want to discourage the pursuit of changing the
runway designation, but it was doubtful approval to do so would be granted.
Bielefeld asked if there were any options to changing the yellow and white
stripes. Cronkhite replied that wa~ not an option.
CommiSsioner Bielefeld stated that he called for weather a little after 6:00
a.m. and it wa~ not available. Beggs stated a person was present at the tower
but they did not get a weather report. Lorenzen stated she would be back to
work on December 10 and would fred out what the problem was. She noted, ff
the ASOS system was not working, they needed to make some changes.

There were no public comments. Counci!~an Moore noted he had no objection in

would not support the agreement. Williams noted Senator Stevens was now
supporting the agreement.

would like it approved and forwarded as soon as possible. He suggested the resolution
include direction to forward a copy of the resolution to the Federal Trade Commission

COMMISSION/COMMITTEE REPORTS
D-1. Council on Aging -- Swarner reported an application from Dick Fields
was included in the packet for possible placement on the Council on Aging. It was
noted there were two seats available. However, because there were other applications
on file and may be more to be turned in, appointment to the Council was postponed.
Appointments are to be considered at the ,January 5 council meeting.
D-2. Airport Commission -- Bannock reported the minutes of the Airport
Commission meeting held on December 9 were included in the packet. He noted the
Commission reviewed the latest enplanement report and discussed the development of
a contest for an airport lOgo. Airport Manager Cronkhite added, the Commission
requested her to contact the local high school graphic arts teachers for advice and
work with the council to designate a prize, i.e. cash prize from Airport funds or
donations from airport lessees. She added, the plan was still in development.
Bannock al~o reported the Commission discussed the possible installation of storage
boxes for tie-down aircraft at the airport.
Williams reported he had been at the restaurant at the airport and used the backdoor
to enter the building. He noted he had previously requested the handrail and stairs be
repaired. He suggested the door be locked if the repairs were not made, but he would
prefer the problems be repaired. Ross explained the issue was a project for repair in
the spring/summer. He added, the repairs would include making the entry ADA
compliant. Ross stated it should have been locked and securing the door would be
investigated.

D-3. Harbor Commission -- Councilman Bookey reported the Commission
met on December 6 and during the meeting it was reported the Cook Inlet Keepers
would be providing tide books for the city this coming summer. The books are to
include information on the Clean Water Act. The Commission also discussed the
Coastal Trail/Bluff Restoration Project Draft Plan and noted the estimated cost
seemed to be low. There also had been suggested changes for the wording in one area.
Councilman Moore asked if the Commission or council discussed going north beyond
the mouth of the river to the end of the city limits for the trail project. He noted the
plan included acquisition of properties and suggested there could be property owners
north of the mouth who may want to be involved with the project. He suggested the
property owners north of the mouth were having the same types of problems as
property owners along Mission Avenue and suggested asking for funding could be the
same for $10 mi!!~on or $20 million. Bookey stated he expected to have property
owners ask why their property was not being included.
Williams stated he didn't have an answer to that, but comments he received from
elected officials were that the country would be bankrupted if every piece of shoreline
in America was restored. He added, council would have to pick and choose.
W/Il/ams requested an additional public hearing since there were people who were to
be notified of the last hearing who had not been notified. He asked administration to
make arrangements with Petratrovich, Nottingham & Drage to set another hearing at
their convenience but within the city's timeline; having the plan completed by January
15. He also reqUested all the Old Town property owners, businesses, Chamber, EDD
directors, KVCC, Harbor Commission, Planning & Zoning Commission, etc. be invited.
He noted, although the hearing had been advertised in the paper and people were
aware the hearing was going to be held, he apologized to some who contacted him that
they did not get a personal invitation. Bookey agreed and noted he also had some
comments from people who signed a paper at the first hearing in order to be notified
about the next public hearing. He also wanted another hearing set.
Moore asked that the property owners on the bluff north to the city limits also be
included on the list of those to be notified. Williams stated he had no objection in
notifying those property owners of the hearing, and thought it may be a good time to
inform property owners how expensive the project will be and what was included in
the plan. Bookey stated the engineer had commented at the last hearing that they
had used the funds budgeted for the draft plan. He added, it was his understanding,
however, that when council appropriated funds for the draft study they would be.
receive a completed plan. Bookey noted, there were items included in the plan which
he expected to come back to council without additional revenues from council. He
asked if that was council's understanding or would the. city receive an additional bill
for the work.

Komelis stated he did not anticipate any additional costs and the engineer planned on
doing the report. He added, the engineer wants the city to review the report and
comment. The engineer would also be providing multiple copies of the report.
Komelis added, the engineer did state they did not have funds for an additional public
hearing. However, since the notification problem for the last hearing was the
engineer's error, he believed they should hold another hearing at their cost. Bookey
agreed, however was concerned, from comments made by the engineer, that they
would not hold another hearing.
D-4. Library Commission -- Moore reported the Commission met on
December 7 and during the meeting, the director presented the updated Internet
policy for the Library. He noted it was a lengthy and frustrating discussion based on
concerns not yet tested in the courts with respect to what a person could or could not
do in a library while using the Intemet. Moore added, the Commission expressed their
confidence in what the director was doing.
Moore also reported the children's holiday party was a big success and that the
Library received a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities for the
purpose of teaching adults how to read to children. He added, the award was very
prestigious as it was a pilot project and the Library would be the only library in Alaska
participating in the grant. Moore noted the grant was received through efforts of
employee Corey Hall.
Moore
also
reported the Holiday Open House was held on December 9 and was a great
Success.
D-5. Parks/h Recreation Commission -- Councilman Frazer reported the
minutes of the December 2 Parks & Recreation Commission meeting were included in
the packet. He noted there was a discussion in regard to building additional public
restrooms within the city due to a suggestion from the Beautification Committee and
that one' be constructed in the Leif Hansen Memorial Park. He noted, the suggestion
was not well-received by the commissioners and a motion was passed unanimously by
the Commission that no consideration be given to the construction of public
restrooms.
Parks & Recreation Director Frates reported the warming shed being built by the Lions
Club should be completed by the weekend. Also, another coat of ice would be added
and prepared by the Zamboni. Frates also reported the grand opening celebration was
still in the planning stage, although he believed it Would take place in January.
D-6. Planning/h Zoning Commission -- Councilman Bannock reported
minutes from the December 8 meeting were included in the packet. He noted there
was no business for the Commission however a discussion Was held in regard to the
KEN~ CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
DECEMBER 15, 1999
PAGE 6
CommiSsion or other commissions requesting council permission to hold a work
session. He noted, it was his opinion that a work session outside of the normal hours
of a Planning & Zoning meeting or other posted meeting, would need formal council
approval for advertising and compliance to the Open Meetings Act, etc. Bannock
added, he suggested that if a work session were needing to be held at the end of a
meeting, it probably would not be the same issue. He noted, Commissioner Bryson
had referred to a request by the Commission to hold a work session and he brought
that information to council and recommended he didn't believe it was necessary for
the Commission to hold a work session for the particular issue. Council agreed and
did not set the work session.
Bannock stated the Commission requested clarification whether council approval was
required when a commission or committee chooses to have a work session outside the
bounds of a normal meeting (an hour prior to the meeting, etc.) Attorney Graves noted
the Code did not speak to the question directly. He added, he believed the policy had
been that when a commission or committee wanted to change their meetings outside
the regular times, they request council's approval. Graves stated, he believed it was a
policy council needed to set. Graves asked if Bannock was stating the requirement
could be that if a work session was to be set for the same night it would be okay, but if
it would be set on a separate evening, it would require council's approval. Bannock
stated, specifically prior to 7:00 p.m. as the meetings were advertised and posted as
7:00 p.m. meeting. He added, his suggestion was that if a work session was wanted to
be held and if it would be held immediately after the meeting, no council approval
would be needed. However, a work session set for prior to a meeting would be a
problem and need council approval.
Williams asked that since the Planning & Zoning Commission was covered under the
APOC, what would the requirement be for the other committees and commissions.
Bookey stated he believed the requirement should be the same for all the
commissions, committees and boards of the city and prior approval should be,required
for any changes to the meeting time, etc. Williams requested Graves to review the
issue and draft a policy for council review. Graves requested the draft be returned to
council by the second meeting of January. There were no objections.
Bannock also reported he was notified there was no business for the Commission's
December 22, 1999 meeting and requested the meeting be cancelled. There were no
objections.
D-7. Miscellaneous Commissions and Committees
D-7a. Beautification Committee -- Councilwoman Swamer reported no

Commission meeting minutes and did not recall a motion being made by the

Discussion -- Proposed Airport Lease/Kenai Flyers
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
DECEMBER 15, 1999
PAGE 8
City Manager Ross reported, Yute Air ceased their operation December 8, 1999 and on
December 10, the Bankruptcy Trustee for Yute Air forwarded a letter to the city
rejecting the current lease which vacated spaces at the airport {a copy was distributed
to council at the beginning of the meeting}. Ross noted, a copy of a letter from
Stephen Warnke, a former Yute employee, was distributed to council at the beginning
of the meeting. Mr. Warnke, representing Trans North Aviation, requested the .ticket
counter and gate spaces vacated by Yute Air at the Kenai Airport, noting they would
be taking over the Yute schedule to some extent. Ross stated, the Airport Manager
worked diligently on Friday with the City ^ttomey to prepare the necessary paperwork
to initiate the lease. Ross reported a temporary Special Use. Permit was established
beginning Saturday, December 11 in order for Trans North Aviation to begin their
schedule. He noted, Trans North Aviation met all the requirements of a cam'er, i.e.
insurance, operating certificates, etc. and were operating their schedule for the past
week. Ross asked council to approve the entering into a standard carrier lease of the
spaces with Trans North Aviation and noted Mr. Spisak of Trans North Aviation was
present to discuss the services to be offered and answer questions of council.
Mike Spisak -- Spisak explained Trans North Aviation began in 1995 in Talkeetna
doing tours around Mt. McKinley. Since then they added three airplanes, hauling
2,000-3,000 tourists around the mountain last year and expected 5,000 tourists
during the coming year. He added, with Yute going out of business, they saw a
market in Kenai-Anchorage-Kenai and they had the aircraft'to serve it. When Yute,
ceased their operation, they decided to take on the market. Spisa_k added, they would
be using a Caravan for the Kenai-Anchorage-Kenai route. He noted, they also
contracted an air ambulance service out of Kotzebue; they had three King Airs.used
for air ambulance serving the state.; they (and another company) have operated since
1985 in Alaska; and currently they had a 401 certified carrier for their Bel-Aire
company in Kotzebue and Fairbanks. He noted they were merging the two certificates
together to make one larger company.. Spisak also reported they planned to expand,
offering service from Kenai to Homer and were working on the acquisition of a UPS
contract.
Bookey asked if they planned on continuing their Use of Caravans for their service on
the PeninsUla. Spisak answered yes, but discussed other aircraft as well (Palatus PC-
12's) for the Kenai-Anchorage-Homer route (to be offered three times a day) and other
aircraft for a Kenai-Homer-Kodiak route.
Williams welcomed Spisak/Trans North Aviation to the community and wished them
the best of luck in serving the community. Moore asked what their walk-in counter
roundtrip price was for Anchorage/Kenai. Spisak answered $98.
Williams requested a motion to accept the agreements entered into by the
administration and Trans Northern Aviation.

MOTION:
Councilwoman Porter MOVED to accept the agreements entered into by the
administration and Trans Northern Aviation and Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED
the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED.
Discussion -- Code Revisions: KMC 4 (As-Built Survey Requirements),
KMC 14 (Sign Code and Other Issues), and KMC 12 (Restaurant
Inspections and Health Officer).
Ross explained, this was the first of several submittals to be made over the next
several months. Referring to the information included in the packet, he noted
administration worked up the proposed changes to the code and requested council to
refer them to the January Planning & Zoning Commission meeting (KMC 4 and 14)
and Attorney Graves (KMC 12). He added, Attorney Graves would be forwarding an
ordinance to make the necessary amendments to KMC 12 in January.
Williams asked Graves what he was planning to submit in regard to KMC 12,
restaurant inspections and health officer. Graves referred to the memorandum
inCluded in the packet which explained the suggested changes. He noted, in his
eleven years with the city, this portion of the code dealing with a health department,
health officer and restaurant inspections, had never been used. Graves added, his
position was that if the city was not going to do inspections, etc., it should be removed
from the code.
Moore asked if these could be some state-provided services which would be handed
over to municipalities in the future. Graves answered, it was currently a DEC function
and could be transferred to municipalities in the future as the DEC budget shrinks.
He noted, he believed this to be a motivation to remove the information from the code
so that the duties could not transferred to the city. Porter noted, restaurants seeking
health inspections have had to pay for the inspections for the past five years. Williams
stated he believed these responsibilities would be pushed off to communities in the
future and agreed with Graves it should be removed. Bookey agreed and added an
ordinance was also included in the code that required the police chief to review
registers of every hotel/motel in Kenai every thirty days. Graves stated that portion of
the code would come forward to council in the future months.
BookeY stated he thought these items would come to council first for input' He asked
if that would happen. Ross answered, as areas of the code were addressed (which
would be given to council in advance), council would have time to address their
.concerns.

MOTION:
Councilman Bannock MOVED to send the items on to the Planning & Zoning
Commission and other commissions for review. Councilman Bookey S~ONDI~D the
motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED.
Discussion -- Council Liaison Assignments 1999 / 2000.
Williams referred to a letter from the Cook Inlet RCAC which was included in the
packet and noted the term of John Douglas' as the city's representative to their board
of directors would end. Reappointment of DoUglas was requested by Williams. There
were no objections from council.
Council reviewed the list of liaison positions which were included in the packet.
Williams suggested choices of appointments be determined by seniority of the council
members. The appointments were decided as follows:
Swarner --
Bookey --
Bannock --
Moore --
Frazer --
Porter --
Wil~ams --
Airport Commission, Beautification Committee
Harbor Commission and Kenai Visitors & Cultural Center Board
Planning & Zoning Commission and Challenger Board
Library Commission and Historic District Board
Parks & Recreation Commission
Council on Aging
Economic Development District Board, Challenger Board, Kenai
Peninsula Borough Assembly representative
It was noted City Manager Ross would continue as the city's representative to the
Kenai River Special Management Area Board of Directors.
Williams stated he did not have any objections to the Choices made, however changes
to the appointments could be made in the future since the selection was done in a
different manner. There were no objections to the appointments.
Discussion -- Continuation of Terms/Boards, Commissions, and
Committees.
Clerk Freas reviewed the information included in the packet which noted those
commission/committee and board members whose terms ended in danu.ary 2000.
She noted those who contacted her and agreed to continue with their representation
on their respective board, commission or committee: She also noted several persons
wishing not to continue were Billings and Arness on Council on Aging, Sylvia Johnson
on Beautification and Dorothy Gray on the Historic District Board. Freas also noted
she received no response from Thibodeau and Lorenzen .on the Airport Commission
prior to preparation of the memorandum. However, since preparation of the
~NAI CITY COUNCIL ME~ING MINUTES
DECEMBER 15, 1999
PAGE 11
memorandum, Lorenzen contacted her and reported her work schedule would be
changing and requested she be replaced on the Airport Commission after the January
meeting. She added, interested persons from the Flight Service Station and Tower
would be forwar~g their applications in January..
Willi .ams suggested w. aiting U_ntil the second meeting in January to make'
appointments anct a~tvertise the positions available. Also contact those with
applications on file to determine if they remain interested in appointments.
Porter noted there were several members to who had missed more meetings than the
code allowed and asked if they were sent letters noting the absences. Williams noted
the difficulties in finding persons to be involved on the com__missions, etc. and filling
openings. He added, unless there were blatant reasons or note by the absences the
person no longer intended to participate, council had delayed action according to the
code. Porter stated her concern of code enforcement in one instance and not in
others.
A lengthy discussion followed in regard to the amount of absences of some members
and problems enforcing the code requirements for meeting absenCes. It was noted
Thibodeau had been absent for a number of meetings and was out of the country and
according to a member of the public (in the audiencel, he was not due back for some
time. It was suggested that since his term was ending and he did not respond to the
letter asking whether he wanted to continue his term, he be sent a letter thanking him
for his service and Commissioner Knackstedt asked whether he would continue as
chair of the Commission instead of vice-chair. It was noted there were other members
of the Airport Commission who had also missed a number of meetings as well as
members of the Beautification Committee, Library Commission and Council on Aging.
It was noted Library Comm_issioner O'Reilly had missed a number of meetings due to
health problems, but it was al~o noted, O'Reilly had been in touch with other.
commission members and stayed active with the Commission issues, but was not able
to attend meeting~. It was suggested the student re,presentative be given voting
powers on the Library Commission temporarily in O Reilly's place, however it
noted the code did not allow for making a temporary appointment. Council had
determined in a prior meeting that when a position became vacant on a commission, a
student could be eligible for appointment as a voting member. It was noted, these
were volunteer positions and it was difficult to remove members due to circumstances
beyond their control because of the difficulty to f'md others interested in the
appointments and in some of the cases, action had been delayed.
·
Porter asked if it would be possible for a member to attend meetings via teleconference
,.and it was pointed out the code did not allow for teleconferencing. Council did not
make any changes on the Library Commission, Council on Aging, or Beautification.
Swarner suggested teleconferencing be tried for a year. Freas asked if they were
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
DECEMBER 15, 1999
PAGE 12
suggesting teleconference attendance be included in the code for council members as
well. Answer was no. Bookey stated he had no objections to teleconferencing as it
was something done throughout the country. Bannock stated his opposition to
teleconferencing as he was not aware of any worthwhile projects which were delayed
through absences on any commission, committee or board.
It was noted changes had been made for .the Historic District Board in the amount of
members and the amount of meetings. It was also suggested the code be revised to
allow excused absences for more flexibility for the membership or change the number
of meetings required for each commission, etc. It was noted it would be difficult to
determine what would be a good reason for an excused absence and who would make
that determination. Additionally, that was the problem before when the excused
absences was' removed from the code and it was revised to mirror the council's
requirement for absences. Bannock added, he saw no difference in whether a person
had an excused absence or just didn't attend if it ended in a no quorum situation and
business was unable to take place. The impact on citizens due to delays in actions
because of lack of quorums (especially for Planning & Zoning and Historic District
Board) was also noted as a concern.
Williams stated he would delay action in regard to excused absences, teleconferencing,
etc. until the matter could be better reviewed.

article regarding the construction of another convention center in Anchorage which
was distributed to council with their packet. Williams noted he received additional

· Senator Stevens -- Williams referred to a newspaper article distributed
to council with their packet which showcased Senator Ted Stevens and his work for
the State of Alaska.
· AMI, Touchstone article referring to legislative priorities.
· AMLIJIA Insurance Pool-- AML/JIA memorandum regarding the city's
name on their insurance list. Wi!l/ams noted stated he felt all should understand
issues in the insurance were susceptible to change at all times. He suggested council
may want to review the issue at the appropriate time. Finance Director Semmens
noted the city has a three-year contract with a broker, but the city purchases
insurance annually. He added, the AML/JIA pool was reviewed each year and up to
now, the pool had not competed favorably with other companies. Semmens added, the
broker had notified the city Cigna Insurance was purchased by Ace USA Insurance
who did not like small customers like the city and the market would be reviewed and
there would be a major change in the city's insurance. He added, AML/JIA would be
considered.
Frazer noted Ace USA was then purchased by Wassau Insurance Company who
purchased it on a pay-if-they-renew basis. He added, the size of the city's policies
would qualify for Wassau, but understood they chose not to renew the city's policies.
Semmens agreed and noted, that was the news he had heard from the broker.
· Workers' Compensation Review Board -- W/Il/ams reported he was
asked by the Commissioner of Labor to serve as a member of the Workers'
Compensation Review Board. After reviewing the legislation which set up the board,
he would be accepting the position. Williams noted the Board would be meeting four
times a year and there would be no charge to the city for his participation.
Theatre Committee -- Williams stated he wanted to set up a special
committee to investigate developing theatre in Kenai through grants from the John F.
Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and Arts and Humanities Forum. He added,
persons involved in theatre in the community told him they had access to grant funds
and believed they could acquire enough funding to build a small theatre (200-250
seats). Williams suggested those persons who would probably be appointed to the
committee would be Kathy Schwartz, Marj O'Reilly, Pat Malone, Lance Peterson, etc.
He added, the group already were designated a 501(C)(3) non-profit and the federal
government was supporting activities of these types of non-profits. There were no
objections from council.
· Nlktski Gas Pipeline Committee -- Wi!l/ams reported, during the
council meeting, a public hearing was being held in Soldotna in regard to the
Marathon Pipeline issue and because he was unable to attend, Bill Stamps of Peak
Oilfield Construction to attend for hi~ and present a letter and the city's resolution in
support of the pipeline. ·
Williams reported he had been appointed to the Borough's pipeline committee. He
noted, $100,000 had been appropriated for the issue and $20,000 was included to
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
DECEMBER 15, 1999
PAGE 14
hire an assistant director. Williams added, the committee would probably be work
through the EDD and they would be presenting its justification for the pipeline to be
built to the Nikiski area to the State of Alaska.
* National League of Cities Conference -- Williams reported he attended
the conference in Los Angeles where much of the discussions involved the Intemet,
how the Y2K issue affects the Intemet and the taxation of the Intemet. Williams also
discussed the concern of lost sales tax from purchases off the Intemet and the long-
term effects to the city tax base.
1-2. City Manager
· Birch Island -- Ross reported the BOR restrictions on FAA land/Birch
Island issue was progressing slowly. He noted, the deeds, plats and as-builts had
been forwarded to the State and Federal representatives. Ross added, the survey on
the properties had been completed and the documents to initiate environmental had
been drafted and they were expected to be available in January.
· Capital Improvement List -- Ross reported he received a letter from the
Borough requesting the city's CIP request list. He noted, the Governor's budget had
been published and the funding for Wellhouse No. 4 was included in that budget.
Ross stated he would have a resolution before council for the first meeting January
adopting the CIP list. He added, last year roads was council's first priority, the
maintenance shop was second, and dipnet issues were third. Since then, the'
maintenance shop was funded. Because the replacement of water/sewer lines in. the
Mission Street area did not score well, he suggested council consider it be set as the
first priority (more likelihood of getting DEC funding with a legislative push) and place
roads in second or third position. He requested council contact him if they have other
items they believe should be included on the list. He noted, the list needed to be
forwarded to the Borough by January 6.
· Wellhouse No. 4-- Ross reported Public Works Manager Komelis was
working with the Borough in regard to the donation of the parcel of land on which to
place it at the end of Lawton {behind Mountain View Elementary). Ross added, he
spoke with the Borough Mayor in regard to the issue and found there was no evidence
of a problem with the donation. Also, the Borough Mayor stated he would be
continuing with the plan for land development behind the vocational high school
building.
· Inlet Woods -- Ross reported he spoke with the Borough Mayor in regard
to the waiving of fees and interest on the properties when the properties are returned
to the city.
· Health Center Project -- Ross reported he discussed the health center
project with the Borough Mayor and the project was progressing. He noted, in the
past the city had waived building fees on government structures built in the city. Ross
suggested that policy be continued with this project.
· Juvenile Detention Site Selection -- Ross reported the City of Kenai
was selected for the site and complimented Lt. Kohler for his participation on the
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
DECEMBER 15, 1999
PAGE 15
selection committee. He added, it appeared the project would be a FY-02 construction
project.
· Y2K Issues -- Ross reported the departments had completed their review
of Y2K issues and believed everything would be fine. He noted, Public Works would
have personnel monitoring the wellhouses and the Sewer Treatment Plant at midnight;
Police and Fire would have stand-by contingency plans; and building maintenance
would have personnel working January 1 to check that heating systems, etc. were
working appropriately.
* Kenai River Special Management Area Board -- Ross noted he would
be attending the December 16 meeting.
I-3. Attorney-- Graves reported he would be out of the office from December
29 through January 9.
1-4. City Clerk
· Commission/Committee/Board Appointment Clarification -- Freas
requested clarification of direction from council in regard to their previous discussion.
She asked if council wanted her to send letters of renewal to those persons requesting
to be renewed, send thank-you letters to those who requested to be removed, and send
a thank-you letter to Thibodeau for his tenure on the Airport Commission.
MOTION:
Councilwoman Swarner MOVED for the letters to be sent as stated. Councilman
Bookey S~Oh~ED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED.
· Employee Appreciation Dinner -- Freas referred to her memorandum
included in the packet which discussed suggestions from the Employee Appreciation
Dinner Committee that letters requesting catering proposals be sent to restaurants,
caterers and non-profits in the city. She noted the committee had also discussed
holding the dinner at another site other than the Senior Center and suggested
January 22, February 12, 19, or 26 for the event date.
Council chose January 22 as the event date. There was a brief discussion about the
event site and it was decided council preferred holding the event at the Senior Center.
Discussion also took place regarding the involvement of non-profits as the caterer and
it was pointed out commercial businesses could not compete with non-profits and
council requested the letters of request be forwarded only to caterers and restaurants
within the city.
Freas noted council's past policy had been to only offer beer and wine through a no-
host bar at the event and asked if council wanted to change the policy to include
offering other alcoholic beverages as well. Council chose to allow only beer and wine.

Mayor and Council Members
City of Kenai
210 Fidalgo Ave., St. 200
Kenai, AK 99611
L EC 2 71999
Dear Mayor and Councii Members:
Enclosed is the invoice for your 2000 AML Membership Dues. AML has not
increased its per capita dues rates in over 7 years. You join 142 Alaskan
Municipalities (the largest membership in the history of AMI,) who make up the
Alaska Municipal League. With your municipality's support, the voice of
municipal government will continue to be strongly heard by the State
Administration and Legislature, and the federal Administration and Congress.
The question you must answer for your municipality, is "What does AML do for
us?" Here are a few examples of what AML did last year, and what is planned
for the Year 2000:
AML and ACoM met with State leaders, and also implemented a statewide
education campaign to prevent the elimination of revenue sharing last year.
This year the AML and ACoM are developing a new proposal for a revenue
sharing program and a new public education program.
AML played a key role in changing provisions of the education funding'
formula bill that could have hurt municipalities and students. AML's 200~
Legislative Platform includes full funding for education and the "adequacy
study" to see if children are being served equitably across the state.
AML and ACoM will play a major role in the Year 2000 in securing state
funding for deferred maintenance for state and local public facilities.
AML successfully supported increased Federal Payment in Lieu of Taxes
(PILT) to all boroughs and municipalities in the Unorganized Borough.
AML was given a seat on the new Denali Commission and has helped
allocate million of dollars to improve energy infrastructure in Alaska.
Member of the National League of Cities and the National Association of Counties
In addition to joint municipal legislative successes, the AML offers:
The Annual Local Government Conference gives, you an important
opportunity to share ideas and learn from hundreds of other local elected
officials.
The best municipal training in the state, including the Newly Elected Officials
Workshop, the Leadership Institute, conference workshops, and the Certified
Public Manager Program.
AML joint services to save you money including: the AML Joint Insurance
Association; the AML Investment Pool; and joint purchasing for office
supplies. The AML/IIA is now implementing a municipal health insurance
purchasing group program.
AML Touchstone newsletter, Legislative Bulletin, and other publications keep
you in touch with state and national issues facing your community.
Research service and direct assistance to help solve pressing municipal
problems.
In conclusion, by belonging to the Alaska Municipal League you saved money
for your citizens last year and gave your municipality a stronger united voice in
statewide and federal issues. As budgets get tighter, the more your municipality
needs to ioin with all other Alaskan municipalities to work together on the
priorities of the Alaska Municipal League.
·
Please call me at: 586-1325 if you would like further information, or iust to get
acquainted with new AML services and policy work.

Re:
Emergency Operations Center
Dear Mr. Witt:
Fire Chief Jason Elson and I appreciated the oppommity we had to visit with you on July
7, 1999 while you were in Kenai for the Project Impact signing. This letter is in follow-
up to the discussion we had on how to fully implement an Emergency Operations Center
(EOC) and related training program in the Fire Training Facility.
It was suggested that since the original intentions of the EOC were to make it functional
for training as well as emergency operations in the event of a declared disaster, FEMA
may have the authority to grant funding to purchase the necessary communications and
support equipment to make it functional. Not only would this site serve the City of Kenai
in the event of disaster, but also it is believed that it will have some real value to both the
Kenai Peninsula Borough's Office of Emergency Management as well as the State of
Alaska's Division of Emergency Services in the event of regional or statewide disasters.
The EOC, once fully functional, could be a regional site for Emergency Management
Institute training. Training of emergency management personnel and disaster
management teams currently is done in Maryland putting a strain on those who must
traVel from the West Coast. The possibility also exists that this site could offer distance-
learning programs similar to that given at Arkansas State University, which provides a
degree program in Disaster Management. The City of Kenai would be very interested in
acting in a capacity to facilitate this type of training.
James Lee Witt
January 6, 2000
Page 2 of 2
After researching the requirements to make the EOC functional as well as operable as a
training site, the City Administration has determined that approximately $375,000 would
be needed to fully equip the facility. Attached are letters of support fi'om the Kenai
Peninsula Borough Mayor, the Kenai Peninsula Borough Office of Emergency
Management and the Alaska Division of Emergency Services.
Should you or your staff have any questions or need detailed information, please contact
City Manager Rick Ross or Fire Chief Elson.
Sincerely,
CITY OF KENAI

Dear Mayor Williams:
As the newly elected Mayor of the Kenai PeninSula Borough, ! was thoroughly interested
to discover that the City of Kenai is drafting a proposal to the Federal Emergency
Management Agency to enhance the usage of the Pacific Rim Institute of Safety and
Management (PRISM).
A facility enabling fire fighters, incident commanders, peace officers, and others in the
emergency management field to attend a state of the art regional center makes good
common sense. Furthermore, the facility meets the needs of the Kenai Peninsula
Borough to serve as an EOC during any disaster event.
If you need further assistance with the proposal, please contact John Alcantra,
Emergency Management Coordinator for the Kenai Peninsula Borough, at 262-4910.

I was excited to learn that the City of Kenai is drafting a proposal to James Lee Witt,
Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, to enhance the functionality of
the Fire' Training Facility as an Emergency Operations Center (EOC) for the Kenai
Peninsula Borough.
I was present in July when James Lee Witt toured the facility and remain optimistic that
FEMA will understand the facility's strategic location and state of the art technology as a
possible training center for emergency management personnel in the western states.
Furthermore, the facility meets the needs of the Kenai Peninsula Borough to serve as an
EOC during any disaster event.
If you require assistance in drafting a proposal, or in discussing the proposal to elected
officials, please contact me at 262-4910.

Dear Jason'
The Alaska Division of Emergency Services (ADES) is fully supportive
of using your Fire Training Facility for additional training
opportunities in Emergency Management. A facility such as yours could
be very useful for periodic training given by ADES or other State
Agencies for subjects such as the Incident Command System, Writing
Community Emergency Operations Plans, Exercise Design and Development,
Fire Management and Response, and Oil Spill and Hazardous Material
Response Operations.
Use of the facility as an additional site for FEMA Emergency
Management Institute Training programs is another good proposal. It
would, in many cases, be cheaper to bring instructors here for classes
comprising West Coast and Alaska personnel than sending the students
to Emmitsburg, Maryland. Personal time and effort spent on travel
would also be reduced by using the Kenai Facility.
ADES is encouraged by your desire to assist the citizens of Alaska in
becoming better prepared to respond to disasters and emergencies. I'm
always available if you need further information.

Dear Mayor Williams:
1999
Thanks for your recent letter supporting S. 25, the Conservation and Reinvestment Act of
1999. I am pleased to learn of your interest in this bill as the support of all Alaskans in the effort
to enact coastal impact legislation is critical.
S. 25 addresses the current inequity in the distribution of revenues earned from oil and
gas development on the Outer Continental Shelf by ensuring that some of these revenues are
shared with State and local communities. Under the bill, Alaska could receive a combination of
funds totaling $131 million with the State and local communities retaining the power to decide
how it is spent.
$110 million in OCS impact assistance
$ 5 million in LWCF funds for state park and recreation programs
$16 million in funds for wildlife conservation programs

Voters who cast ballots November 2 in
any one of a handful of precincts in two
Iowa counties were also asked whether
they would like to try voting on the Inter-
net. Many took the time to do so and
marked the same ballot using Internet tech-
nology. Most seemed to find it relatively
easy. Iowa Secretary of State Culver who
supported the pilot project in Internet vot-
ing was quoted in an Iowa newspaper as
saying, "I think within ten years it (voting
'by lnternet) will be an option.
Voting on the Intemet can take a vari-
ety of forms and several factors must be
taken into consideration before it becomes
that option. At a recent meeting of a techni-
cal committee of the National Association
of State Election Directors, David Elliott,
the Assistant Director of Elections for the
"fate of Washington, presented a short
per examining the Internet voting con-
,:ept, Elliott outlined three possible Internet
voting models: automating ~the current
process; web site voting; and regional vot-
ing centers.
He suggested the simplest application
of web voting could be accomplished as an
imitation of the current absentee voting sys-
tem with ballots requested and received by
e-mail and returned as hard copy with sig-
natures though the Postal Service or
returned to the election office via e-mail. As
with an absentee ballot, each voter would
be treated individually and .each ballot
would be a single transaction.
Web site voting, Elliott explained,
would use locations where the voter would
log in through secure means, establish an
identity, and vote a ballot during a visit to
that site. The voter would provide an iden-
tifying key and vote with the ballots being
cast in realtime. The potential weakness of
this, Elliott suggested, is vulnerability to
hacker related problems. Hackers might be
able to overload a web site with requests for
information jamming the lines; may create
"'an-in-the-middle" sites to mislead the
_ __" into thinking they are on the correct
s~re when they are on the hacker's site; or
page jacking- leading the user off to an
impostor web site.
In addition, bottlenecks can occur
when an overwhelming number of legiti-
mate contacts are being made simultane-
ously. Although the latter problem can be
somewhat minimized by spreading voting
over several days, this too has its political
implications.
Regional voting centers would use
web technology to modernize polling site
voting. The web would be used as the coTM-
munications medium for security informa-
tion, including signature images. Once the
voter is identified, the correct electrOnic bal-
lot would be delivered over the web to the
voting center, a voting terminal configured
to the voter's correct ballot, and the vote
cast. A voter could use any polling place
because all would have access to all ballot
formats. The system would also control to
ensure that the voter cast only one ballot.
Elliott suggested concerns would
include providing complete security for
web connections between the poll sites and
the central server and ensuring adequate
capacity. Some of the security concern
could be eliminated by employing a post-
election reconciliation of each voting cen-
ter's results independently of the web.
Digital signature technology is regard-
ed as the key to securing the Internet voting
process but it is not inexpensive. Elliott said
there are several ....
classes or security levels
of digital signature. Some are obtained
without requiring any identification, others
require high levels of ID including personal
interviews.
Web voting would necessitate the cre-
ation of new areas of voting system stan-
dards. States woUld have to create or adopt
software review benchmarks, platform
review standards, standards for security
systems, and standards for logic testing.
Such standards must ensure that software
products do not surreptitiously mark docu-
ments to identify the voter or make this
information available for any other pur-
pose.
Elliott was also concerned with non-
technical Points such as economic access.
The distribution of equipment in private
web access is skewed toward higher
income groups. He suggested use of library
and other public access web terminals
might be of some help but said this is an
issue that must be addressed.
Finally; and perhaps most importantly,
voters must have confidence in the system.
They must know that their vote is secret
and that it will be counted as intended. Peo-
ple will question Internet voting if they do
not trust or do not understand it, said
Elliott.
The Federal Voting Assistance Pro-
gram in the Department of Defense is mov-
ing ahead with its plans to haVe 350
military personnel residing overseas cast
ballots on the Internet in the next presiden-
tial campaign. Current plans call for partic-
iPation with seven jurisdictions, each
permitting 50 eligible military voters to cast
actual ballots via the Internet. The pilot pro-
ject is dependent on changes in State and
local laws to allow this type of voting.
The military pilot project eliminates
some of the concerns Elliott raised because
the identity of the voters would be positive-
ly confirmed at the military location of the
voter The processes by which the local gov-
ternments would receive the votes and
incorporate them into vote totals while
maintaining secrecy of the ballot are still
being reviewed.
The Internet has already begun making
an impact in election campaigns and has
provided a tremendous opportunity for the
exchange of information between candi-
dates and voters. The Federal Election
Commission is now considering adoption
of regulations for disclosure of expenses
made in connection with lnternet sites.
These functions are far different from vot-
ing on the Internet.
There is no doubt that votes can be
recorded and counted on the Internet.
Thousands of sites provide such opportuni-
ties for voting on everything from the
"Question of the Day," to ratings for enter-
tainment or sports stars. Whether or when
the Internet will be developed as a feasible
method for voting for public office in a way
that meets the political, social and technical
questions raised by Elliott remains to be
seen.

News from the Challenger Learning Center of Alaska
...Senator Ted Stevens Named Alaskan of the Century
The Challenger Learning Center of Alaska congratulates the Honorable Senator Ted Stevens who was
named Alaskan of the Century this week. Senator Stevens received this recognition from the Alaskan of
the Year Committee for his thirty years of dedicated service in the U.S. Senate.' As Chairman of both the
Senate Appropriations Committee and the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee, Senator Stevens has
helped the Federal govemment meet its commitment to Alaska under the Statehood Agreement. Senator
Stevens has worked to alleviate sub-standard living conditions in many areas of Bush Alaska, and to
encourage economic development statewide. The Challenger Learning Center of Alaska is especially
appreciative of Senator Stevens work on behalf of the Center. Senator Stevens was instrumental in
bringing the idea of a Challenger Center to Alaska and ultimately authored legislation that generated $3.15
million to make possible the construction of the Challenger Learning Center of Alaska. Congratulations to
Senator Ted Stevens for this well deserved recognition as Alaskan of the Century.
Royal Caribbean & Celebri .ty Cruises Contributes $10~000 to CI,C.a

A periodic publication of the Resource Development Council, Inc.
Less than five percent of the combined
acreage of the Tongass and Chugach. the
nation's two largest national forests, is
accessible by roads. The newly proposed
policy would prohibit motorized public access
into these areas, blocking activities ranging
from timber harvesting to recreational
activities that use motorized ven/cles for
access.
Alaskans
speak
out"
Clin ton 's road ban/'nitia five
Alaskans from all walks of life -- miners,
tourism providers, loggers, snow-machiners,
oil patch workers and recreationalists --
came out in force at public hearings held
across Alaska last month to speak out
against President Bill Clinton's initiative to
ban new roads in roadless areas of national
forests.
In Ketchikan, almost all of the 40 who
testified blasted the proposal, especially its
potential application to Alaska's two na-
tional forests, the Tongass and the Chugach.
In Anchorage. 50 people testified with a
slight majority opposing the plan.
Meanwhile. a wide coalition of Alaska
and national environmental groups launched
a direct-mail campaign in December urging
residents to mail preprinted post cards to
the Forest Service demanding that the
Tongass and the Chugach be included in
the President's policy. The President cited
favorable public comment last spring for a
temporary moratorium on road building and
is looking for more favorable comment to
justify signing a permanent ban into law
before leaving office at the end of the year.
The Governors of western states
recently went on record opposing the
administration's policy, saying it would be
disastrous for small communities that
depend on multiple uses of forest lands for
their economy and recreation. An
amendment sponsored by Governor Tony
Knowles says the public planning process,
not federal fiats, is the preferred course for
addressing roadless issues in Alaska.
"To unilaterally overturn years of work
through the public planning process by a
federal policy constitutes less than a double

RDC testified at a recent public headng
on a proposed "depleted" listing for the Cook
Inlet beluga whale, urg~r)g the National
Llarine Fisheries Service (NMFS/ to focus
~ts efforts on establishing a co-management
¢.greement w~th Alaska Natives to regulate
'r-,e subsistence nunt of the mammals.
In addition. RDC tlosted a speciai
~unctqeon on the topic at its NovemDer annual
conference. Penny Dalton. the Director of
NMFS, and several mayors from
Southcentral Alaska addressed proposed
~'sting options.
NMFS is proposing to designate the
Cook Inlet beluga whale stock as depleted
under the Marine Mammal Protection Act.
The agency is also considering an
"endangered" listing under the Endangered
Soecies Act and is expected to reach a final
aecision in March.
RDC would like to see the beluga whale
2cpulation in Cook Inlet recover and believes
a co-management agreement would
accomplish that goal. However, RDC and
ottqers are concerned that community and
resource development activities in Cook Inlet
may suffer under a depleted listing, and
certainly under a potential endangered listing.
even thougn they have not played a role in
-'-~e beluga's decline.
George Wuerch. Chairman of the
' nchorage AssemDiv. told RDC conference

Borough.
delegates that Municipality of Anchorage
monitoring efforts and other water quality
studies have consistently shown no impacts
to Cook Inlet from community or industrial
activity. He also noted that state and federal
water quality studies have largely ruled out
exposure to pollutants as a factor in the
beluga's decline.
Wuerch feared that Anchorage co~" '
be forced to invest hundreds of million,,
taxpayer dollars into new wastewater trea,-
merit facilities if the belugas are listed as
endangered.

Thoughts from the President
by Jim Branch
Good news for Alaska
Sometimes we are so consumed by
new regulatory issues, policies, and endless
series of public hearings, it's easy to miss a
few rays of sun light. Recently, however,
some good news has come our way.
On the timber front, Gateway Forest
Products recently closed its deal with
Louisiana Pacific Corporation for the
purchase of Ketchikan Pulp Company
assets in Southeast Alaska, including a
Ward Cove sawmill.
Gateway plans to build a new veneer
adjacent to the sawmill and expects the
facility to be operational by next summer.
Once complete, the new veneer manufac-
turing operation should compliment the
Southeast Alaska timber industry by creat-
lng new needed opportunities for lower
quality and small diameter sawiogs. The
new facility will also provide new jobs and
tax revenues for Ketchikan.
There's also good news in the mining
industry. Although exploration expenditures
were down due to a sharp decline in base
and precious metal prices, the total value of
~he industry in 1999 is projected to exceed
$1 billion for the fourth consecutive year.
Exact figures will not be known for some
time, but the industry had another solid year
in terms of production and employment.
Alaska's mineral industry now provides
almost 3,000 good-paying, full-time jobs for
Alaskans and interest in state's mineral
wealth remains strong, as demonstrated by
Teck Resources. which is moving forward
with its advanced exploration program at
the Pogo gold prospect near Delta.
Preliminary information suggests that a gold
resource of 5.2 million ounces exists at
Pogo.
Meanwhile, thanks to higher worldwide
oil prices, the state's savings account will
shrink at a slower rate than projected.
Despite this good news, the reserves
account could still disappear in two years if
oil prices fall again and state spending holds
at current levels, according to the State's
latest revenue outlook. Even with the
upswing in prices. Alaska still needs $500
million from its reserve to balance the budget.
As we enter the new millennium, there's
reason to celebrate and be thankful, but we
still have our work cut out for us in finding
long-term solutions and overcoming the
many challenges facing Alaska's resource
industries.

Many fishermen believe the Cook Inlet

Bristol Bay. Unusually high numbers of
belugas were sighted in the bay last summer
while at the same time fishermen there were
hauling in large numbers of fish. Meanwhile,
the Cook Inlet salmon catch was down.

said there has been only limited investiga-

The Kodiak mayor stressed there isn't

cross." Knowles said. "Such action would
negate the years of work and millions of
dollars that were spent in crafting the
Tongass Land Management Plan and the
planning now underway in the Chugach. I
join other western governors in challenging
the administration to honor its commitment
to the public planning process."
In addition to Knowles. Alaska's con-
gressional delegation, many members of
the state legislature and community leaders
have all blasted the proposed policy.
The Tongass and the Chugach are
among those national forests being ~
considered under the new policy. While the
policy is inappropriate on all national forests,
it is particularly unacceptable in the Tongass
and the Chugach.
The Tongass has just gone through an
extensive l 1-year, $13 million land man-
agement plan revision which withdrew more
than half of the land previously available for
development. Even more recent revisions
have left only ten percent of the commercial
forest land in the Tongass open for timber
production.
In the Chugach, which is 98 percent
roadless, the policy would shut down access
to roadless areas for a variety of uses,
including forest management activities to
restore forest health.
Most of the non-roaded areas of the
Tongass and the Chugach are already under
some form of protection. These include
Wilderness. Wilderness Study Areas,
administrative land use designations for
non-development such as "remote
recreation," and Wild and Scenic River
designations. The only roadless areas under
consideration for protection in the proposed
policy are those few areas currently open
for resource extraction.
Opponents of the policy point out there
is no issue of science driving the proposal.
noting that the needs of wildlife, fish and the
non-development sector of the public are
fully met by the planning process mandated
by governing federal laws. They also contend
that the proposal is unlawful, in direct conflict
with a provision in the Alaska National
Interest Lands Conservation Act that
stipulates congressional approval of any
further land withdrawals in Alaska.
At the Anchorage hearing, Ray Kreig
emphasized that national forests are
different than national parks. "By law,
national forests are suppose to be managed
for multiple uses, including timber harvesting
and mining, whereas parks have a much
heavier emphasis on preservation and other
single uses." Kreig noted.
Frank Baker. an Eagle River skier and
mountain climber, said he doesn't support
all roads, but believes they should be
considered on a case-by-case basis by
Alaskans who live and work here.

AN ILCAcourse offered atAPU, Starting February 19
Twenty years after the passage of the
most sweeping land conservation act in
history, the Institute of the North will inaugu-
rate an in-depth course on the Alaska Na-
tional Interest Land Conservation Act
(ANILCA).
The Institute of the North is a division of
Alaska Pacific University and is dedicated
to studying issues facing Alaska and other
Arctic regions.
Mead Treadweli, Managing Director of
the Institute and Malcolm Roberts, a senior
fellow, will lead the course, "The Alaska
Lands Act: Visionary Victory or a New
Colonialism?" It will be held every second
Monday evening from 5:30 to 9:30 PM at
APU from February 19 to May 3.
Stakeholders in ANILCA, from federal
conservation unit managers to conserva-
tionists and resource developers, will be
invited to assist with the presentations and
discussions. Full time, degree-seeking stu-
dents will participate, as well as interested
individuals who wish to audit the class.
In 1980, the Alaska National Interest
Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA) desig-
nated 106 million acres of Alaska's public
lands as conservation system units (CSUs)
classified as national parks, forests, wildlife
refuges, and wild and scenic rivers. The
intent of the Act was to set aside the natural
wonders of Alaska while respecting the
lifestyle and culture of its rural and Native
people and encouraging a healthy, sustain-
able economy for all its citizens. To that
end. ANILCA made Alaska-specific provi-
sions for inhoiders, subsistence, hunting
and fishing, traditional use, and access that
are not normally addressed in federal con-
servation units.
This course is designed to teach his-
tory and policy, assessing views from all
sides while providing critical analysis of the
law in relation to three criteria: biological
sustainability, economic sustainability, and
social equity. The primary expectation of
this course is to gain a thorough under-
standing of ANILCA's original intent, as well
as its actual impact on Alaska.
The importance of the study of ANILCA
emerges when one looks not only at th
vast acreage designated, but the conflict ~,
incited from inception.

Anadarko: We believe in Alaska'
Editor's Note: Here is a condensed version
of John Seitz's presentation at RDC's annual
conference. Mr. Seitz is President and CEO
of Anadarko Petroleum Company.
Anadarko is one of the largest
independent oil and gas exploration and
production companies in the world. Some
of the regions where Anadarko has chosen
to focus include the U.S. onshore and
offshore, North Africa and the North Atlantic,
where we're in the initial phases of
exploration near Scotland and Ireland.
Most recently, we've turned to Brazil
and Argentina. In Alaska. our partnership
with ARCO will bring Alpine on line in 2000.
Anadarko is different from most other
oil companies. We are willing to take risks
and explore aggressively. Our company's
history is full of examples of how we bucked
conventional wisdom.
We discovered the largest gas field
offshore Texas, where everyone "knew" no
giants would be found. In the great Hugoton
Field of the mid-continent, Anadarko was
one of the first companies to aggressively
pursue in-fill drilling, significantly increasing
U.S. gas production -- and our own.
In East Texas, we discovered and are
developing a trillion cubic feet gas field, 103
years after the first drilling at Corsicana.
In the Gulf of Mexico, we discovered
and developed four fields to date, despite
daunting technological challenges.
Many thought we were nuts for going
into Algeria: The desert, the politics, the
failed exploration by others. Twelve
discoveries and more than 2 billion barrels
· of oil later, they're not laughing anymore.
Some said the same things about
Alaska. Well, I think we've proved them
wrong again.
Granted, in today's world, it's not easy
to be the first to explore in a new or
challenging area. But technology improves
and politics change, creating new
opportunities.
If you resist the temptation to think like
everybody else, you'll stay ready to take
advantage of those opportunities.
Anadarko announced record produc-
tion volumes and reserve growth for 1998.
We achieved a reserve replacement of
581%-- the 17th consecutive year that the
company has more than replaced annual
production with new reserves.
By continuing to make significant ex-
ploration discoveries in the U.S. and over-
seas, we achieved real economic growth
and added value for our stockholders.
We added a quarter billion barrels of
Anadarko's President Jim Seitz believes
Alaska has a number of substantial fields
yet to be found.
proved reserves last year. To put this in
perspective, that was about the size of our
entire company 12 years ago.
To have significant finds is reason
enough to celebrate, but to do so at a cost
that is well below the industry average means
we have staying power.
From the beginning, we knew Alaska
had a great deal of resource potential. Like
any oil company, we have certain criteria by
which we judge any given area, and Alaska
fit the criteria.
We were convinced that there are a
number of world-class fields still to be found.
But while we had identified significant re-
source potential, for an independent there
were still too many roadblocks to doing
business in Alaska. By that I mean permit
delays, long lead times, little access to
prospective acreage, high operating costs
and logistical challenges.
The State also recognized the problem
and began a concerted dialogue on new
ideas, land access, royalties and lease sales.
Alaska's elected officials began pitching the
state as "open for business" in an effort to
attract new players to the oil patch.
With strong resource potential and a
new attitude toward business, we decided it
was time to invest in Alaska.
Thanks should go to the Governor, the
legislature and the Congressional delega-
tion for adopting an "open for business"
attitude, for promoting stability and predict-
ability and for creating opportunity.
We've taken advantage of that
opportunity by building a significant portfolio
of exploration prospects.
Cook Inlet got underway for us in 1996
by signing with ARCO, an alliance covering
127,000 acres. Partnering with ARCO, we
were successful bidders in State Sale 85A,
totaling 39,000 acres.
We followed that up in 1997 by shoot-
ing seismic and mapping prospects.
Anadarko was the operator of the
Moquawkie Lone Creek #1 well that was
spud in June of 1998 and where we an-
nounced a commercial gas find that fall.
We also operated the largest onshore
3-D seismic shoot on the Kenai Peninsula.
We have had great success with ARCO
in discovering and developing Alpine. We're
pleased that significant components for this
North Slope field were built in Alaska.
Together with ARCO, we announced
last summer a discovery called Fiord, which
could become the first Alpine satellite field.
We are excited about our partnership
with Arctic Slope Regional Corporation,
where we are exploring more than 3 million
acres in the Foothills on the North Slope. At
Anadarko we like to apply new exploration
technology to areas that have been ignored
for years and we're optimistic about t!
potential on ASRC's lands.
Speaking of opportunity, who would
have thought a few years ago that we would
be on the brink of drilling exploratory wells in
NPRA this winter? We see a lot of potential
in NPRA, which is why we bid extensively
with ARCO and on our own, and were
successful in acquiring 99 tracts.
I know that the agreement between the
State and BP-AMOCO regarding the merger
with Arco is very much on everybody's
mind. We've studied it carefully and believe
it is a sound proposition that will create new
competition on the North Slope.
That's important, because the natural
by-product of competition is ideas. In this
case, new ideas about where and how to
look for oil and gas and how to develop the
fields we find.
It's clear that the companies which
acquire the divested assets will have a
strong production base and the access they
need to explore areas with high potential.
From our perspective, the business
environment the deal fosters will benefit
everybody, including the people of Alaska.
At Anadarko we're excited about
Alaska. We see great opportunity to e)
pand and make new discoveries. With good
people, a favorable business climate, and a
portfolio of exploration prospects in Alaska,
we hope to be a successful company that
contributes to this state for many years to
come.

Editor's Note: The following is a condensed
version of Dale Lindsey's speech at RDC's
20th Annual Conference, Dawn of a New
Century.
By Dale Lindsey
President & CEO
Petro Marine Services
As I contemplate the relationship
between business and the bureaucracy on
resource development issues in Alaska, I'm
often reminded of the antics of Laurel and
Hardy, the comedy duo whose films in the
1920s and '30s depicted them stumbling
through a series of self-induced and
escalating blunders, invariably culminating
in chaos.
It doesn't take a tremendous amount of
imagination to see the similarities. All too
often, we work against, .rather than with
each other, resulting in unnecessary and
burdensome paperwork, mutual mistrust,
and a loss of productivity and economic
growth.
Then we shake our heads, point fingers
at each other and, like Ollie in so many of the
Laurel and Hardy classics, say, "Here's
another fine mess you've gotten me into."
I've witnessed many examples of
businesses and bureaucrats tangling over
development throughout Alaska, and I've
reluctantly concluded that if Lewis and Clark
had to function as we do today, they'd still be
in St. Louis waiting for the regulatory permits
they need to explore.
It would be easy to place all the blame
on overzealous bureaucrats. Easy, but
unfair.
At Petro Marine Services, we try very
hard to promote a more productive relation-
ship with the regulatory community to focus
on finding solutions in a spirit of coopera-
tion, collaboration and mutual respect.
In return, we need regulators to be
reasonable in their dealings with us to
ensure that their rules, interpretations, and
implementations reflect the realities of our
business and avoid costly duplication while
protecting the public interest.
In the wake of Exxon Valdez, Petro
Marine found itself in a regulatory"No Man's
Land" with regard to spill response
standards.

Do business, government

presentation on business-government relations.
standards for crude oil tankers in Prince
William Sound and Cook Inlet, but
requirements for refined petroleum carriers,
primarily tug and barge operators in the rest
of the state, were unclear and inconsistent.
Rules for Prince William Sound and
Cook Inlet were unworkable elsewhere in
Alaska because of logistical restraints,
limited financial resources, and
unreasonable demands in terms of spill
response personnel, equipment, and
deployment of other assets.
After many months of discussions with
the U.S. Coast Guard and the state's
Department of Environmental Conservation,
we forged a new set of spill standards that
promote environmental stewardship and
protect the public interest while addressing
the economic and logistical realities of
transporting fuel throughout the far reaches
of Alaska.
It was a long and sometimes difficult
process. But by identifying common objec-
tives and a "roadmap" for getting there from
"We can no longer afford to imitate Laurel and Hardy,
and we'll afl reap greater benefits from cooperation
than from confrontation and from negotiation rather
than fitigation." - Dale Lindsey
the outset, we all ended up where we needed
to be. It's a process that can and should be
adapted to other resource development ini-
tiatives throughout Alaska.
We can no longer afford to imitate
Laurel and Hardy, and we'll all reap greater
benefits from cooperation than from con-
frontation and from negotiation rather than
litigation.
Our only alternative, I'm afraid, is a
future of pointing fingers at each other while
we quarrel over the remnants of our past
and forego a bright future built on balanced
and responsible resource development.
By setting our sights on common goals
and a shared future in Alaska, by working
together to explore, produce and sustain
responsible development, we can move our
resource-driven economy forward.
It's the only way we'll ever taP the full
potential of our vast resources -- not just our
fish, our timber, our minerals, our oil and gas
and our outstanding scenery, but also our
people-- you and me.
