Ordinance No. 1852-2000 Page 2 CITY OF KENAI 210 FIDALGO AVE., SUITE 200 KENAI, ALASKA 99611-7794 TELEPHONE 907-283-7535 FAX 907-283-3014 ~ MEMORANDUM TO: FROM' DATE: Parks & Recreation Commission Mayor and Council Members Richard A. Ross, City Manager Carol L. Freas, City Clerk ~'~ti Director~ Robert J. Frates, Parks & on January 26, 2000 MUMCIPAL CEMETERY CODE AND REGULATION CHANGES Attached is a draft ordinance with suggested changes to both the Kenai Municipal Code, Chapter 24.15, Adoption of Regulations (for the Kenai Municipal Cemetery) and the Cemetery Regulations. KMC 24.15.0 !0, Adoption of Regulations The change is made to remove "Cemetery Committee" because the committee no longer exists. The Parks & Recreation Commission has taken over that responsibility, assisting the City Clerk and the Parks & Recreation Director. Cemetery Regulations -- Section l(b), Plots Tim Wisniewski, Funeral Director of the Peninsula Memorial Chapels & Crematory has indicated the cemetery regulations do not reflect what he is currently charging for opening/closing of graves. The indicated changes accurately reflect the costs he incurs with his contractor. The definition of summer and winter rates will better identify when the different rates take effect during the year. Cemetery Regulations -- Section 2(c) and (/), Interment and Disinterment It was the original intent of the regulations to limit the grave markers to ground level markers in order to aid in the ease of maintenance. Because the regulation has not been followed over the years and the maintenance of the cemetery still requires mowing around fences, above-ground headstones, etc. in the pioneer section of the cemetery, it would be better to remove this requirement. Section 2(f) is being added to give instruction and definition for the City Clerk when the question arises at the time of a plot purchase, for funeral directors to discuss with clients, etc. The question has been asked. The current code does not speak to the question. Because cremation is becoming more widely used, the regulation should include some instruction. The suggested amendments follow those used by other cemeteries in.the state.' Cemetery Regulations;. Section 3(c), Maintenance The original inten~ of this policy was to eliminate articles and other little structures from impeding maintenance efforts. However, this policy was never enforced. Currently, a majority of the. sites have such.articles and' it is only the sites that are not cared for that create maintenance problems for our summer crews. Permittin§ such articles, if maintained on an annual basis, should shift some responsibility to the purchaser of the site to assist keeping the cemetery clean. Moreover, if it becomes apparent during our annual clean-up that individual sites are not being maintained, there would be a justification to remove items. Cemetery Regulations, Section 4(b}, General The current code implies the gates of the cemetery are opened at 7:00 a.m. and closed after 9:00 p.m. during the months of May through October. However, the gates always remain open during this period. During November through April, the only time the gate is closed is when road conditions warrant them being closed. The months when they may be temporarily closed has been changed to coincide with the definition of summer and winter in Section l(b). KMC 24.20.010 states the driveways, gates and fencing of the cemetery shall be maintained by the City and may be closed in periods of adverse conditions. CLF/RJF Suggested by: Administration City of Kenai ORDINANCE NO. 1853-2000 AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ~NAI, ALASKA INCREASING ESTIMATED RE~NUES AND APPROPRIATIONS BY $44,934 IN THE AIRPORT LAND SYSTEM SPECIAL RE~NUE FUND AND THE AIRPORT FIRE STATION CAPITAL PROJECT FUND FOR ENGINEERING. WHEREAS, Ordinance 1839-99 appropriated $200,000 and Ordinance 1844-99 appropriated $50,000 for design of the Airport Fire Station and the Warm Storage Facility; and WHEREAS, the facility design contract was awarded to Cash-Barner architects; and WHEREAS, FAA discretionary funding will be more readily secured if the site work for the project is completed this summer; and WHEREAS, site work engineering and inspection needs to be added to the existing facility and design contract; and WHEREAS, these expenditures are grant eligible if the FAA funds the project; and WHEREAS, funds are available for transfer in the fund balance of the Airport Land System Special Revenue Fund. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, that estimated revenues and appropriations be increased as follows: Airport Land System Special Revenue Fund Increase Estimated Revenues: Appropriation of Fund Balance $44,934 Increase Appropriations: Land - Transfer to Capital Project $44,934 Airport Fire Station Capital Proiect Fund Increase Estimated Revenues: Transfer from Special Revenue Fund Increase Appropriations' Engineering $44,934 $44,934 Ordinance No. 1853-2000 Page Two PASSED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, this 1,t day of March, 2000. ATTEST: JOHN J. WILLIAMS, MAYOR Carol L. Freas, City Clerk Approved by Finance' (~./~0/~.000) k~ Introduced: Adopted: Effective: February 16, 2000 March 1, 2000 March 1, 2000 MEMORANDUM 'CITY OF KENAI 210 FIDALGO AVE., SUITE 200 KENAI, ALASKA 99411-7/94 TELEPHONE FAX 9O7-2834014 TO' Richard A. Ross, City Manager FROM: Jack La Shot, Public Works Manager'S0-- DATE: February 10, 2000 SUBJECT: AP Fire Station/Warm Storage Facility Since beginning the design process for the referenced project, we have had several discussions with F~ pemonnel regarding funding expectations, and the sequene~ it might be received. The attached letter from Rebecca Cronkhite, Airport Manager, to John Lovett, F/~ Planner, mfle~s the manner we expect to receive both entitlement and discretionary funds. Entitlement funds are easier to predict than discretionary funds, which will likely be allocated to the Fire Station portion of the project only and in unknown amounts. The letter represents our best guess at this time. In order to be in a position to construct the project as quickly as possible using funds as available, it will be necessary to go to bid with a separate earthwork contract this summer and bid the building probably next summer, possibly in further phases. The separate earthwork contract worked well with the Challenge#Multi-Purpose Facility and should work equally as well in this case. However, since it was planned to be one contract initially, additional professional sentic~s will be needed. I have requested co,ts to provide earthwork contract specifications and bidding services, which are attached. Also, I have requested the necessa~ f~es for inspection be included at his time. Approximately 80% of the fees will go to the Civil Engineer subcontractor Wince- CorthelI-B~son sinc~ they handle the sit~-work design and inspe~ion. With your concurrence, we plan to introduce an Ordinance at the next City Council meeting to transfer funds in the amount of $44,934 from the Airport to the Airpo~ Station and Warm Storage Facility Capital Project Fund for engineering. A resolution to amend the contract to Cash-Barner ^mhitects will then be on the Council agenda for - approval at the following meeting. Engineering funds are eligible for reimbursemnent.

ITEM 4: PERSONS SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD Finance Director Larry Semmens -- Airplane Personal Property Tax Laws Semmens distributed a fact sheet with information regarding the City of Kenai Personal Property Tax for Aircraft and reviewed it with the commissioners. He noted, the City of Kenai levies a tax of 3.5 mils on the value of real and personal property located in the city which would generate $350 on a $100,000 value. Semmens added, all the revenues from the property tax were deposited to the General Fund and that the Borough collected the taxes for the city. Semmens explained, the confusion generated was due to the Borough's exemption of the first $100,000 of personal property and the city had not adopted that exemption. Confusion was also generated because taxable personal property included all business personal property and non-business owned airplanes and boats. He noted, boats were taxed differently by the borough as well, i.e. boats were taxed on a fiat-tax basis by the borough and the city taxed those items at 3.5 mils. Semmens noted, to determine situs (established when property is in the city for more than 90 days in a calendar year} of the aircraft, the Borough Assessing Department inspected the Kenai airport and the planes were then valued according to "online price index." The.Assessor also notes the condition of the plane, if the owner doesn't include that information on the personal property tax form. Aircra~ not based in the Borough, but involved in scheduled air transportation, were valued according to the amount of time the aircraft was in the borough's jurisdiction. Semmens also noted the city had $37,500,000 of personal property assessed in the city which generated $131,400 in personal property tax. Aircr~ were valued at $7,224,175 and the tax generated was $25,284 (including 26 commercial aircraft and 39 personal aircraft). He noted, the personal aircraft value was $1,331,726 generated $4,660 in personal property tax (averaging to $120 for each personal aircraft). Semmens continued, most personal aircraft were exempt under the Borough tax because of the $100,000 exemption. He noted, the city could adopt a fiat tax or a total exemption on aircraft. Copple asked if the 90 days was continuous or a year's total. Semmens answered, he believed it depended on whether the owner of the aircraft lived in Kenai or somewhere else. Copple questioned if the assessor checked the planes in the transient parking area. Semmens noted, he believed the owner could dispute being taxed ff they parked in the transient area. However, someone living in Kenai could be taxed when their aircraft was parked at the airport less than 90 days because they wouldn't be paying taxes anywhere else and it was their home base. He noted, there were exceptions and he wasn't aware of how the borough would make their determina~ons. A general discussion followed. It was noted the cities of Seward, Seldovia and Kenai did not offer exemptions. Also that Seward did not offer exemptions for boats because the lack of the tax dollars would substantially hurt their finances. Those offering the exemption were the Borough, Soldotna and Homer. Councilwoman Swarner explained the amount of revenue ($4,660) received by the city from the personal property tax on aircraft would pay for the summer street banners or one summer employee in the Parks & Recreation Department. Cronkhite reported she had investigated the reasons why planes were pulled from the transient partdng areas and found that four people moved out because of the tax; some moved because of other reasons She added, she estimated the tax determined only ten percent of the reason~ why planes were moved out of the airport. It was noted the yearly tie-down fee was 111400, plus taxea. Cronkhite added, she believed there were who left because they very upset about the tax. She noted, ff those that left because of AIRPORT COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES FEBRUARY 10, 2000 PAGE 2 the tax were to return, it wouldn't affect the airport budget substantially. Favretto noted, the tax was only a part of the revenue and pointed out those planes not being at the Kenai Airport would affect fuel sales, car rentals, restaurant receipts, etc. Cronkhite noted there had been a total of eight planes removed from the tie-downs for one reason or another and at least three new planes had leased spaces. She noted, there were other private tie-down spaces on the airport and she was not aware if planes were moved from those businesses due to the tax. Bielefeld noted the revenue lost on the rent of the fie-down space was more than the amount of revenue gained from the tax on a $100,000 aircraft. He .added, if the Airport wanted to encourage more planes to be tied down at the Kenai Airport, they needed to be competitive with the Soldotna Airport. Copple asked if a survey could be taken to find out the reasons why the airport was not being used by private aircraft, i.e. tax, tower, weather, fie-down fees, location, convenience, fuel taxes, etc. Cronkhite answered it was a topic of discussion since she began working for the city. Through administration's discussions with users of the airport, the reasons were varied. She noted, there were many who did not like airfields with towers, but there were those who liked the security of the airport. She added, the tie-down fees were competitive with Soldotna. She added, the tax was important to some people and others liked the amenities the airport offered and the tax didn't haVe a big effect on their decision to stay at the airport. Cronkhite noted, there were several things administration was considering to increase the marketability of the airport. Swarner suggested that if a survey was taken, another question to include would be how to better utilize the float plane basin. 4-b. Doug Olson -- T-Hangars Olson stated his address as 44750 Eddie'Hill Drive, Soldotna. He stated he believed the tax was taking away business from the Kenai Airport. Olson explained he was interested in building a ten unit T-hangar and leasing the units could be affected by the tax. If there was no tax, his business as well as others, could be better and the spin-off taxes and sales could create other revenues. Olson distributed some information about the type and size of a steel building he would be wanting to place on a site (56" x 242"}. He also noted, he would require an area with a fair amount of apron space in order for planes to taxi alongside of the building. Olson pointed out the lot in which he was interested in acquiring on a plat of a portion of the airport property. He added, he would want to position the ends of the building east/west and the doors facing north/south. The property in which he was interested was highlighted on the plat and was positioned close to the tower and appro~nately 400' long. AIRPORT COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES FEBRUARY 10, 2000 PAGE 3 Olson noted he chose the lot because the Airport Master Plan discussed placing t- hangars in this area and it was a more organized area for t-hangars. He added, the lot on the plat shown as "city maintenance shop" had not been surveyed and it was unknown what the exact size of the lots would be. Olson noted, water to the building would be only for the one bathroom to service the whole building; each hangar would have separate gas and electric meter; the individual hangars would be sold like~ condominiums; the property would be leased; the owners of the hangars would form an association, purchase insurance, etc. Olson explained, water/sewer and utilities were available to 'the .property, however he wanted help in paving the taxiway to the t-hangars. Knackstedt noted, he thought the more appropriate area for developing t-hangars would be closer to the exist/nE Ion§- term parking as that area had been identified for that use in the past. Olson noted, he would prefer the other area because of the way he wanted to position the building on the property, the buildin§'s height in connection with the runway, and it wouldn't provide the economy of scale to build another building alongside the initial hangars. Discussion followed regarding the placement of the building, weather considerations, etc. Cronkhite explained the building restriction line (100' off the taxiway) was FAA mandated and was based on using that taxiway for larger aircraft, requiring full- .strength pavement, tax/ing ability of the largest aircraft using the space, etc. She also explained the Master Plan was out of date. The space Olson identified to use for his project would be used for an auxiliary fire station and warm storage building. She noted, the building was in the fin~ design stage and the building would require direct ramp access. Cronkhite added, FAA had determined the city maintenance shop could not be built on the apron. Olson noted he had not discussed the project with the city's building official in regard to parking, drainage, etc. He noted, he had financing available for the $550,000 building he wanted to build and would need approximately 60' width alongside the building and the end of the building to the apron would need paving. Swamer asked if airport funds had been used for paving a leased area in the past. Cronkhite answered, no and added, lots were leased "as is" and improvements were the responsibility of the tenant. Bielefeld noted his business investigated leasing the property Olson had suggested and were not able to acquire a guarantee that an airplane would not be parked in front of the business. Cronkhite explained the area was being marketed for larger aircraft, but the city would be willing to work with Olson in developing airport property. She noted, additional detail would be required prior to any decision being made. Knackstedt noted paving wouldn't be necessary to the business and Olson stated he would want a paved area around the building. Cronkhite stated there were other lessees on the airport providing tie-down services. If paving were done for Olson, it would give him an advantage over the other businesses which would not be fair. AIRPORT COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES FEBRUARY 10, 2000 PAGE 4 Favretto suggested Olson develop a more final plan and offered to help in formulating the plan if Olson needed the help. He added, he believed there was a need for the t- hangars. Olson stated he would investigate the plan further and return it to the Commission. He added, he was aware of the time it would take to acquire the necessary permits, surveys, etc. Haralson asked if the individual owners or an association would have the liability for oil and fuel spills, etc. Olson answered, the association would have the liability and could hire a firm to. manage the. building. Swarner asked if. there was .other available property on the 'airport which would not require as large an area to be paved. Olson answered all the. properties would require a lot of paving because of the setback requirements. Olson noted he would be presenting hiS plan to .the city council at their next meeting. ITEM 5: , ,, OLD BUSINF~S 5-a. Discussion -- Carpet Selection Update Councilwoman Swarner reported the initial meeting of the carpet committee was on February 1. At that meeting, the members received information about cleaning of the carpet and talked about other types of carpet to clean and the possibility of installing tile at higher traffic areas in the terminal instead of carpet. Swarner continued, the committee met again on February 9 and spoke with some carpet company representatives. She added, there were some demonstrations and committee discussed increasing the walk-off areas at the entries of the terminal building. She noted, increasing the walk-off areas would give an added amount of area where dirt, mud, water, etc. could come off the shoes, boots, etc. prior to waltdng onto the carpet. Swarner also reported, the committee discussed methods of cleaning and it was suggested test pieces of carpet and tile be placed at high-traffic areas to see which work best. Van Zee noted, they also learned that when carpet is shampooed, it should be completely dry before being walked on because any residual shampoo collected dirt quicker when the carpet is damp. Commissioner Favretto left at 8:10 p.m. Van Zee also noted, the dirt, sand, etc. needed to come off the shoes before it got to the carpet. He added, it was said that areas where people stand and turn a lot, like in front of the ticket and car rental ... counters , required a harder surface. The committee felt it would be best to place test carpets and tiles in front of the restaurant and hallway entrances. Swarner noted, the test areas would be 20' in order to get a good idea of the wearability, etc. AIRPORT COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES FEBRUARY 10, 2000 PAGE 5 Swamer reported the next meeting of the committee was scheduled for 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, February 15 either in the cafe or by it. She noted, Steve Rutherford and a representative from Lee's Carpets would be present. Swamer added, Rutherford had told her they could help in directing the carpet cleaner on how to clean the carpets they may choose and would supervise the installation in order to have good guarantees. Airport Manager Cronkhite noted the big concern for the committee to research was how to keep the carpets clean, as well as costs of clean, g, how long before the carpet would need to be replaced, matting types, etc. Commissioner Ha.raison asked if the terminal was covered by liability insurance. Swarner noted, it was through a blanket policy of the city's. Ha.raison stated he was concerned about risk management if there were slippery surfaces, etc. Swarner noted the committee had discussed those concerns. ITEM 6: NEW BUSINF~S Discussion -- Goals & Objectives 2000 It was noted Councilwoman Swamer requested the item be included on the agenda. Swamer explained, a number of the commissions and committees formulate a goals and objectives list and requested the Commission to develop one for the year 2000. A general discussion followed and the Commission had no objections and comments were positive in formulating the list. Van Zee stated he believed that without a clear vision for the airport development, it would be difficult to go forward cohesively and it was up to the Commission to create the vision. Cronkhite noted the Airport Master Plan was to be updated every five years and the current Plan was outdated. She added, it had been requested to update the city's Comprehensive Plan and she asked the Master Plan be incorporated into it. Cronkhite stated her support of the Commission's involvement in developing a vision for the airport. Knackstedt suggested a survey be sent to current users of the airport and those to target to use the airport and ask what they thought would be important to offer. Copple stated he thought a market survey should be done so that it would be known what changes needed to be made. Cronkhite stated she would endorse the Commission investigating what the public wanted the airport to offer. She noted, what was marketed should coincide with what the biggest return would be for the airport. Some suggestions for goals and objectives were: · camping spaces by the gravel strip · static display coinciding with another event (pilot training meeting, etc.) to attract visitors and current users to the airport AIRPORT COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES FEBRUARY 10, 2000 PAGE 6 updating Master Plan survey of user needs and wants T-hangar development parameter lights on Float Plane Basin updating of airport web page to better market the airport Commissioners were encouraged to forward their lists to Cronkhite prior to the meeting so that the list could be included in the next meeting's packet for prior review. Cronkhite added, commissioners could email information to her or her administrative assistant as well, but noted the list of responsibilities at the airport was long and the ability to accomplish everything was difficult at times due to lack of staff. Copple encouraged the T-hangar concept be expedited as it was competitive and a popular concept. He offered his help in proceeding with the concept. 6-b. Discussion -- Meeting Format The meeting format was briefly discussed. It was noted the Commission's purpose was to review matters and forward recommendations to council and that the Commission was not a decision-making group. Also it was noted, Robert's Rules of Order were required and it was best to follow the agenda and not get sidetracked. Swamer noted, the council appreciated the commission members' efforts and hard work for the city. Haralson suggested Swarner talk with the council members to fred out what they wanted the Commission to be investigating and they could include that information on their list of goals and" objectives. Swamer stated she would talk with them and when the Commission's goals and objectives were developed, she would have them included in the council packet for their review. ITEM 7: AIRPORT MANAGER'S REPORT a. Avalanche Effects -- Cronkhite reported, during the period of time the highway was closed due to the avalanches, it was an excellent opportunity to illustrate how well the Kenai Airport could operate, even with all the snow. She noted, Northern Air Cargo flew in groceries, medications, etc., as well as Lynden Air Cargo; Everts Air Cargo Express flew in UPS and other items; and ERA added lots of flights and used larger planes to accommodate the increased number of people flying, as well as transporting mail, etc. Cronkhite added, the Kens5 Airport was the only airport capable of handling the aircraft and at times, the only airport open during the road closures that could handle the larger aircraft and stay open during difficult weather conditions. Cronkhite added, she had been contacted by smaller cargo operators currently conducting business out of Anchorage interested in using the Kenai Airport because of Anchorage's higher prices, availability of rental space, availability of air space, etc. She noted, keeping the airport open and operating was a city-wide effort. AIRPORT COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES FEBRUARY 10, 2000 PAGE 7 b. Carpet Discussion -- Cronkhite stated she appreciated the effort the carpet committee and Councilwoman Swarner were expending in the carpet review. She noted, it would be a time-consuming and difficult decision. c. Budget Process -- Cronkhite reported the budget process had begun and department budgets were due on February 1 1. She noted, funding would be included in the airport budget for marketing, but most of the budget involved maintenance costs. She reviewed the budget process and deadlines to the Commission. ITEM 8: COMMISSIONER COMMENTS AND OUESTIONS Bielefeld-- Asked if the snow removal budget was okay. Cronkhite answered there were contingencies in the budget for extra costs, however transfers would probably be needed by the end of the fiscal year. Cronkhite reported the broom was received. A factory representative would be arriving next week to train the mechanics and equipment operators. A brief discussion followed regarding the advantages and nuances of using the broom for snow removal on the runways.

KEN~ CITY COUNCIL ME~ING MINUTE~ FEBRUARY 16, 2000 PAGE 2 ITEM B: SCHEDI~ED PUBLIC COMMENTS S-X. Rick Baldwin-- Multi-Purpose Facility Update. Baldwin stated his address as 3080 Kim-N-Ang Court, Kenai. He explained he wanted to give the council an update in regard to the ice fink. He noted, the LLC had the. responsibility of building, operating and maintaining the rink. Everything was going well and they appreciated the support given by the city administration. He added, the rink was being well received and he had heard co~_m__ents from around the community that it was the best hockey ice on the Peninsula. Baldwin reported the LLC decided to professionally maintain the rink instead of their doing it themselves. He added, they were disappointed the facility had not been used more by the non-hockey groups because it was financially more of a strain due to additional ice maintenance needs. Baldwin added, he hoped that would improve next year. Baldwin thanked Parks & Recreation Director Frates for his involvement. He noted Frates had been working almost directly with the maintenance group. Baldwin added, they were losing money by using the professional management for the maintenance of the facility, but hoped to increase the revenue by charging $85.00/hour instead of $65.00/hour. Baldwin noted, it was difficult holding the ice during the recent warmer weather and suggested adding plexi-glass around the rink as well as dropping the front girder to give more shading to the ice. He suggested the costs of these improvements could be borne by the city in the future. Councilwoman Porter complimented. Baldwin for what had been accomplished and added, she hoped the city would use the public/private partnership as a project in its next All-America City application.. She suggested the costs be included in the Parks & Recreation Department budget for review and consideration. Krtstin Lambert -- Central Kenai Peninsula Public Transportation Task Force Reported she had been involved with the Central Kenai Peninsula Public Transportation Task Force and the development of the Central Area Rural Transit System (CARTS) and draft Central Kenai Peninsula Public Transportation Plan. She requested council meet with members of the Task Force to hear an in-depth explanation of the Plan. She noted, she felt the municipalities needed to have input and be on board and added, the program was a grass-roots solution to an area problem and had a lot of interest groups involved. KEN~ CITY COUNCIL ME~ING MINUTES FEBRUARY 16, 2000 PAGE 3 Council decided to meet in the Council Chambers on Monday, February 28 at 2:00 p.m. to hear the Task Force's presentation. It was noted the gathering would need to be advertised and the public invited to attend. Dick Troeger --'Explained he was the chair of the board which had fried for 501(3)(C) non-profit standing. He noted, the board had applied for three grants for starting the program and continued operations. He encouraged the council to take an interest and stated a copy of the plan would be forwarded to .the council for their review. Troeger also reported they were soliciting members to the board and was pleased for the city to take an interest in the project. Joe Donahue -- Reported the group's website was www.centralpeninsula.wego.com and noted he was hired to do the local work and DTA to do demographic investigation. Dona. hue added, they found they needed to start slow because the data didn't show the program could sustain running buses. He added, they would be starting with a call-in request line and would arrange rides. There would be a charge for the rides. Donahue added, to date they had not requested funding from the local govemments to run the program, although they may have to in the future. He continued, although they had requested two additional grants, there was increasing difficulty in receiving grants without needing matching funds. Donahue added, they were hoping the area senior centers would be able to provide funding and equipment for the program. Mayor Williams requested Senior Director Kelso, Finance Director Semmens, City Manager Ross and City Clerk Freas to attend the presentation on the 28t~. Suzanne Little -- Boys & Girls Club Little stated she was the executive director of the Boys & Girls Club and noted she was speaking to the item listed as H-10 on the agenda. Little explained, the Club recently secured a five-year lease for the portion of the Kenai Element~ School they had been using for several years. However, because the.building was also used by the Kenai Alternative School and the Aurora Borealis Elementary School programs, there could be the possibility the Club may have to move from the building in the future. Little stated she was thinking ahead and talked briefly with Mayor Williams of the possibility of building a new facility or adding on to the City's Recreation Center. If an addition was made to the Recreation Center, she suggested the Club could jointly operate the facility with the City. Williams stated he suggested the possibility of 'developing a Little Theatre in the city and because the Club had a drama production program, there could be some coordination and incorporation of effort. He added, they had also discussed the possibility of acquiring funding to build a theatre in the same I~NAI CITY COUNCIL ME~ING MINUTES FEBRU~Y 16, 2000 PAGE 4 area as the Challenger and ice rink facilities. Input of ideas was requested in order to begin a process to investigate possibilities now for a later concern. Potential properties were discUssed, i.e. land in front of the Recreation Center, in front of the Vocational Education Building at KCHS, etc. Williams noted the theatre group would be meeting on February 29 at the Kenai Visitors Center. ITEM C: PUBLIC HEARINGS C-lo Resolution No. 2000-5 -- Encouraging the Alaska Legislature to Support Funding for the Magazine, Neu~spapers and More: Full Text Articles for Alaskans Online Resource Included in the State of Alaska FY 2001 Capital Budget. MOTION: Councilman Moore MOVED for approval of Resolution No. 2000-5 and Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion and requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. Bob Peters -- Peters noted he resided in Old Town and was the current chair of the Library Commission. Peters reported the Library Commission unanimously supported the resolution and hoped the council would also support it. He added, the subject database provided Intemet access to the libraries and schools in the state, as well as individuals. Peters added, the hbrary wouldn't be able to afford the service in its own budget due to the cost of the database. Peters was asked if the funding for the database was currently in the state's budget. He answered yes, it was included in the University of Alaska budget and was referred to there as the Alaska Statewide Database Licensing Initiative. He added, the database was a tremendous service to students and libraries. Williams stated he would support the resolution however suggested council and audience to be cautious as the Legislature would be reviewing the state's budget, beginning with the amount that was included in it last year and remove another $30 million from it. VOTE: There were no objections. SO ORDERED. ITEM D: COMMISSION/COMMITTEE REPORTS KEN~ CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FEBRUARY 16, 2000 PAGE S D-1. meeting. Council on Aging -- Councilwoman Porter reported there had been no D-2. Airport Commission -- Councilwoman Swamerreported the Commission met on February 10 and discussed formulating goals and objections for the year; heard a report from the carpet selection committee; heard a presentation from Finance Director Semmens on the personal property tax; and heard a gentleman interested in developing T-hangars at the airport. Swarner noted, some of the suggestions for goals and objectives included development of camping spaces off the gravel runway and marketing the airport. She added, the Commission requested council to forward their vision of how they want the airport to develop so they might consider those ideas as they develop their goals and objectives. Swamer also reported the airport received its new broom and the crews were learning how to operate it. She noted she would not be able to attend the next meeting and that Councilman Bookey stated he would attend in her place. Swarner informed the council the carpet selection committee would be meeting again on February 23. She noted the manufacturer representatives and local dealers had been a great help to the committee. Swamer asked if types of cleaning equipment, cleaning solutions, etc. specifically for a building's type of flooring was included in the maintenance contracts for the airport terminal, as well as other city buildings. She noted, some manufacturers specify the type of equipment and solution to be used for the type of flooring installed. City Attorney Graves stated he didn't think that information was included in the contracts. Swamer suggested they should be in the next contract to better insure the guarantees on the flooring. Discussion followed regarding the T-hangar.presentation made at the Commission · meeting. City Manager Ross reported he met with Doug Olson several times after the Commission meeting and discussed his plan for developing T-hangars, possible properties, etc. He noted, there was a piece of property currently leased by another entity which could work for Olson and he would be contacting that lessee to see if they wanted to continue with the lease. Swarner passed down information Olson had distributed at the Commission meeting. Williams stated he thought it important the city work with Olson in developing his plan. He asked if it would be possible for the city to help Olson financially through paving the area to the property. Swarner noted, the Commission discussed Olson's request to pave the taxiway that would be going to the T-hangars and it was pointed out other lessees had to pay for their own asphalting. Ross stated they were KEN~ CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FEBRUARY 16, 2000 PAGE 6 investigating all kinds of options because there were several pieces of land that could work. He added, if paving was done for Olson, the cost would be reflected in the lease rate. D-3. Harbor Commission -- Councilman Bookey reported the meeting had been cancelled by council due to a lack of agenda items. D-4. Library Commission -- Councilman Moore reported the minutes of the February 1 Commission meeting were included in the packet and that he had reported on the meeting at the last council meeting. Moore recognized members of the Commission who were in the audience; Kathy Heus, Lorene Forbes and Bob Peters. D-5. Parks ~ Recreation Commission -- Councilman Frazer reported the minutes of the February 3 meeting were included in the packet. He noted the Commission reviewed and unanimously approved suggested changes to the cemetery ordinance and regulations. Frazer also reported several members of the Beautification Committee presented 14 banner designs and from those, ten were chosen to be made for the coming summer's use. Parks & Recreation Director Frates reported the dedication of the multi-purpose facility was held and was well attended. He noted the figure skating exhibition was a highlight of the festivities, as well as the broom ball game between members of the Lions and Rotary Clubs. D-6. Planning/h Zoning Commission -- Councilman Frazer reported he attended the February 9 meeting for Councilman Bannock. Frazer noted, the minutes of the meeting were included in the packet. He explained, a lengthy discussion was held on aerial signs and questions regarding possible encroachment of airspace from the Commission were deferred to City Attorney Graves. Graves noted he had done some research and a memorandum with his findings had been forwarded to Planning & Zoning Administrative Assistant Kebschull and would be included in the Co_m_mission's next packet. Frazer reported the Commission requested a work session with the council for March 15 to discuas the livestock ordinance, beginning at 6:00 p.m. Bannock explained the discussion first evolved last spring and was placed in the pending items. Bannock reported, some of the Commission members felt there were issues involved with the livestock ordinance which were not adequately addressed. He suggested council recommend the Commission begin drafting of an ordinance and then discuss it at a future work session along with other amendments to be made to Title 14. He noted, it had been suggested the current ordinance could use a broader-based def'mition. Frazer added, during the last Co__m__mission meeting, it' appeared to him there were several of the Commissioners who were in favor of a much-restricted livestock KEN~ CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FEBRUARY 16, 2000 PAGE 7 ordinance of what may or may not be allowed on residential properties. Additionally, the Commission was very adamant to hold a work session with council. Attorney Graves reported he wrote a livestock ordinance for Commissioner Goecke and it had gone through several drafts. He noted, he wrote the ordinance on the guidelines of what Goecke had suggested and submitted it to An~i_mal Control Officer Godek for his review. Godek had some issues with the ordinance and Graves passed that information on to Goecke. Graves added, there was a draft ordinance on the table for review and it had been forwarded to the Commission. Kebschull explained, the Corn__m__ission reviewed the draft ordinance at their September meeting and that was when Bannock requested it be held for a work session. She added, the ordinance as it was drafted, would limit livestock to the Rural Residential Zone, to lots equal or greater than three acres. Graves noted, livestock, in the draft ordinance, was defined as large a~_~mals, i.e. cows, alpacas, horses, etc. He added, chickens and small farm an_i_m__als were not covered in the ordinance. Graves stated, the ordinance was drafted for debate and was not the final version. It was questioned whether the ordinance would allow for grandfather rights and Graves answered, yes. He explained, the grandfathered lots would be addressed as non-conforming use to cover that scenario. Council approved a work session with the Planning & Zoning Commission on March 15 at 6:00 p.m. Clerk Freas was requested to remind council of the work session. Ross reported, he would be filing a letter of appeal with Clerk Freas in regard to the Commission's approval of an encroachment permit at 1110 Channel Way, Kenai. D-7. Miscellaneous Commissions and Committees D-7a. Beautification Committee-- Councilwoman Swarner reported the Committee met on February 8 and discussed goals and objectives, as well as a theme for the summer. They also discussed an Adopt-A-Park program, weeding, and a Yard- of-the-Week program. She added, if council had suggestions about the Yard-of-the- Week program to talk to her or Parks & Recreation Director Frates. Councilwoman Porter stated she wanted to sponsor one of the circle planters and added, she would be happy to have volunteers from council to work with her. Historic District Board H-9 discussion was moved ahead and held at place in the meeting. Mike Huhndorf-- Noted he was the current chair of the Historic District Board. Huhndorf stated he was aware the Board was under scrutiny, the meetings were cut to four a year, and establishing quorums had been a problem. He suggested the KENAI CITY COUNCIL ME;~ING MINUTES FEBRUARY 16, 2000 PAGE 8 Board had also listed too many goals and objectives last year and were unable to accomplish them. Huhndorf added, he believed retaining the Board had merits when considering the requirements of the Historic Preservation Act of 1966. Huhndorf noted the letter from Bill Kluge (added to the agenda) explained the Board chose only one goal this year, i.e. developing an area where the old machinery now stored could be exhibited to accompany the walldng tour. Councilman Moore noted there were three members of the Board present, i.e. Ethel Clausen, Emily DeForest, and Mike Huhndorf. He added, DeForest informed him prior to the meeting that she had done some research and found grant money was available for "bricks and mortar" for preservation of articles. Councilwoman Porter thanked Huhndorf for attending the meeting. She asked if he knew if it was a lack of interest that was keeping members from attending the meetings and if it was a lack of interest, was there a point to keeping the Board. Huhndorf answered he had been a member of the Board for approximately five years. He was unsure of why other members did not attend meetings. He noted there had been several resignations and suggested lack of communication was a problem in promoting enthusiasm for history. Porter noted, because the Board had a project, it might encourage enthusiasm on the Board. Huhndorf stated, with the Board focusing on one goal and having members with a fair amount of knowledge, he believed they had a better chance of succeeding. He also noted, in nominating properties as historical sites, he didn't know if it should stop with the Townsite District Zone. Councilwoman Swarner noted there were several applications included in the packet for both the Beautification Committee and Historic District Board. She noted she spoke with one of the applicants who listed interest in both the Committee and Board and wanted to be appointed to the Board. Swarner added, she wanted to see the Board functioning, especially if there were people who wanted to be involved. She noted, she was concerned about the quorum issue and suggested the time and day of meetings needed to be considered in setting the meetings. Huhndorf suggested he, as chair, needed to be more active and thought with only four meetings a year, more phone communication was needed. Councilman Bookey stated he had concern about the continuation of the Board for some time. He added, when the Board was formed, he understood it was their charge to take care of the activities of construction or development in Old Town. He noted, he believed the Board had gotten into a program where they wanted to do projects and didn't believe that was ever their charge. Bookey added, he wasn't saying that couldn't be part of their charge, but he felt the focus was lost. He added, he believed the Board was to be in line with the Planning & Zoning Commission so that if there IiEN~ CITY COUNCIL ME~ING MINUTES FEBRUARY 16, 2000 PAGE 9 was development going on in Old Town, the Board would be involved. Bookey stated, if there were no quorums and no meetings, and there was development in Old Town, there would be a problem. Bookey referred to the information included in the packet in which it suggested the Board could have only two meetings a year or be on call. He stated he had some hesitancy to do that. Porter asked Huhndorf if the Board was getting the help needed from administration. Huhndorf answered, he had no complaints about the help or lack of it. He added, he hoped the historic nature of the community could be enhanced and thought the Board was an excellent way in which to ~do it. Bookey stated he believed there were two issues: taking on projects and to aid in regulation of development in the Townsite District Zone. Williams stated he believed the Board had accomplished the task they set out to do and what council envisioned them to do was yet to be completed. He noted, he believed boards, commissions, etc. function better when they are busy and thought council needed to reexamine the issue of the Board and consider including the Historical Society and Kenai Visitors and Cultural Center and their roles as private organizations in exploring the co~_m_unity's history. He added, council had discussed previously the identifying of property on which to place a concrete slab and displaying of antique machinery, etc. He suggested council charge the Board with finding funding, etc. to accomplish that project. Huhndorf stated he liked that idea and felt the Board, along with the Historical Society and Visitors Center, offered a forum for preserving the history of Kenai. Em/ly DeForest -- DeForest noted she was a member of the Historic District Board. DeForest stated money was available through State Historical Preservation Society {eligible for matching grants) for preservation of historical artifacts, including shelter or education. She noted, the matching portion varied from 50/50 to 25/75 and a better percentage was offered for education. Williams stated he saw an opportunity for the city to charge the Board to inventory potential historical items, investigate property on which to display it (both city and private properties), grants and costs involved, combining of thought between the Board, Historical Society and KVCC, and be involved in the shaping of the core of Old Town. He added, there was a lot that could be done by a diligent group. DeForest noted, she also learned the Board, in investigating historical buildings, etc., did not have to limit their review to the Townsite Historic District. Councilman Bannock stated that in learning more about the Certified Local Government, he felt there were two items of discussion; geographical boundaries of the zone and the rules governing the zone. He added, council needed to decide if they wanted the Board to adhere to the rules in the code or incorporate more of a historical society of work to the Board. Bannock noted a comment in Kebschull's memorandum was that she verified the benefit of maintaining the CLG status was to participate in KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FEBRUARY 16, 2000 PAGE 10 the Historical Preservation Fund Grant Program. He added, he agreed with that and understood it. He then noted Kluge's letter mentioned maintaining the. CLG status which in turn, allowed individuals to apply for tax credit on private developments of historic significance. He asked if that was true and if it would be lost if the CLG status wasn't maintained. Kebschull answered she wasn't fam_i!i~ if that was dependent on being a CLG, but knew there was an opportunity to apply for tax credits. She added, it was suggested in the CLG information, that the city offer tax credits. Huhndorf noted, the federal government made it possible to apply for tax credits. Bannock asked if there was a direct tie between an individual applying for tax credits and CLGs. Kebschull stated she was not aware. Williams reviewed KMC 14.24.105 which defined the Townsite Historic Zone and the Historic District Board. He noted, he believed there was a lot the Board could do under the code and agreed with Bannock that further discussion could take place in regard to the current code and the possibility of expanding the charge of the Board's work. , Swarner suggested a work session be held to further discuss the issue and suggested Gwen Preston (one of the applicants for Historic District Board) be appointed to the board. Bookey questioned making appointments to the Board if their future was unknown. Frazer stated his reluctance in turning down volunteers and that there was a problem in attaining quorums. It was noted budget work sessions would be coming up and there was some apprehension in setting a work session in regard to the Board. Discussion continued in regard to making appointments to the Board and if there were any specifications for the appointments. The code was reviewed and it was noted the majority of the Board plus one, had to be Kenai residents and to the extent available, three board members were to have expertise in the fields of architecture, archeology, and history. Porter stated she thought the appointment should be made since volunteers were available and that new blood on the board may be what was needed to go forward. Williams explained the filling of the seats would be a signal to the Board that council wanted some action to take place. Williams suggested to appoint the applicants suggested, charge the Board with the responsibility to come back to council with a plan, including only the geographical area discussed in the code or whether it would include other areas of the city. Discussion followed and council directed the Board to hold a special meeting prior to their regular meeting of April 17. At the special meeting, the Board was directed to develop a plan for the zone or outside of the zone. The Board were then directed to present their plan to the council during their April 17 meeting. Council requested the Planning & Zoning Commission also be invited to the April 17 meeting. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FEBRUARY 16, 2000 PAGE 11 Alexandra Lindgren, Pamela Russell and Gwen Preston were appOinted to the Historical District Board without objection. Swarner requested Judy Buffmgton be appointed to the Beautification Committee and council had no objections. D-7c.

KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FEBRUARY 16, 2000 PAGE 13 Ross noted, the brush removal did not include stumpage and pointed out the city property on which Joyce would be working. He added, private property owners wishing to participate would be able to contact Joyce and be included in the clearing of dead trees on their improved properties at their own expense. Ross continued, the city was obtaining waivers from owners of unimproved private properties who wanted to participate in the program. Bannock stated he would support the approval of the permit as he was very pleased with the work Joyce had recently completed in Section 36. Williams asked if anybody had discussed the stumpage w/th any of the contractors? He noted he was aware of one local business storing root balls and stumpage to be used for future river bank restoration. Ross answered no, it was not part of the project. He added, when and if it would be decided to do additional work at Section 36, administration would investigate putting it out to bid for removal during future winters to see if there would be any value for the city in regard to the timber. Ross added, stumpage removal had not been discussed. Joyce did state he didn't get the yield he thought he would in the east side project already completed and Ross believed if there had been some value in the stumpage removal, Joyce would have pursued it. VOTE: There were no objections. $O ORDERED. Discussion -- Historic District Board Discussed at D-7b. H-lO. Discussion -- Potential Parmerin§ with Boys & Girls Club/Development of New Facility.

Mayor Fish Tax-- Williams referred to the Department of Community and Economic Development letter included in the packet indicating the city would receive $4,831.52 in Share Fisheries Business Tax and $308.62 in Fishery Resource Landing Tax. Alaska Fire Chiefs Association Donation -- Williams requested a donation of $1,000 be made to co-sponsor a reception in Juneau during the Alaska Fire Chiefs Association Conference. The other co-sponsors would be PRISM and the Alaska Fire ~NAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FEBRUARY 16, 2000 PAGE 14 Chiefs Association. He noted, they would be seeking business for the facility as well as promoting Kenai and its local businesses and facilities. Williams reported the Department of Transportation would be sending workers to the facility and he intended to meet with the director of the state ferry system to ensure their training would be done in Kenai. Swarner asked if there were other items the city would be asked to fund in the next six months in regard to PRISM. Williams answered, he was not aware of anything, however he noted he 'was still working with the Coast-Guard in regard to the plan to 'enlarge' the fire training facility. Pipeline Project -- Willies reported he and Mayors Bagley and Lancaster gave their pipeline presentation at a conference in Anchorage earlier in the week. He noted, it was well received and there were many people surprised there was another destination for the pipeline other than Valdez. Williams added, Mayor Bagley would be making the presentation to the Palmer/Matanuska-Susitna area and he (Wi!l/ams) wanted to make the presentation to council in the near future. Industry Picnic -- Williams reported the picnic committee held their first · meeting and set the date of the picnic for August 26. He added, the committee 'expanded the picnic to include the tourism industry and the Soldotna Chamber had agreed to donate $1,000 to the effort. Tesoro-Alaska Petroleum -- Willies reported he met with former council member Raymond Measles in regard to a letter received by Tesoro from the State of Alaska demanding payment of $24 million, includin§ 16 years of penalties and interest. He explained, in addition to the state's demand, it was reported the Alaska portion of the corporation lost approximately $3 million, but overall, the corporation made a three percent profit. Williams stated, the Nikiski refinery had been directed to develop a method by April 15 to improve Tesoro-Alaska to support their being a function of the overall corporation. In addition, the corporation was trying to develop other markets, but currently, everything was on the table, including the refinery. Williams added, it was his understanding another letter from the State demanding an additional $16 million was to follow. Economic Development District Board of Directors -- Wi!l/ams noted the City of Kena/had two seats to represent it on the EDD Board of Directors and only one of the seats was filled (his). Williams suggested Randy Daly of Hi Speed Gear be appointed to the other seat as Daly had been involved with the organization, stated his interest, and had the time to give. Council had no objections to the appointment of Daly as one of the city's representatives to the EDD Board of Directors. Advertising -- Williams reported his concern that a local radio advertisement by a local water delivery business was stating the city was adding chemicals to its ~NAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FEBRUARY 16, 2000 PAGE 15 drinking water. He suggested a public relations advertisement be prepared informing the public of the city's new wells, the cleanness of the water, and lack of chemicals in the water. Public Works Manager Komelis reported, currently the city sends out a report to the public about the water (October 1 and one by July 1), which was required by law. Swamer suggested the Public Works Department distribute a brochure to all the users as well as the radio stations. Ross stated they would make the informational brochure normally sent out more attractive and less governmental looking which might create more interest. It was suggested the information be sent to all the users of the system and to the radio station news directors immediately. I-2. City Manager E~I/PRISM -- Ross reported he and Finance Director Semmens met with the CEO and Financial Officer of ESI and learned' ESI was very happy with the facility, but were not pleased with the Slow development in class sizes, etc. He added, ESI would be approaching the city about the sharing of the gross revenue and when to begin the sharing.

City Clerk Volunteer Advertisement and Reception -- Clerk Freas referred to a · memorandum included in the packet which noted National Volunteers Week was scheduled for April 9-15, 2000. She added, in the past, council had requested an advertisement be included in the newspaper listing all the volunteers of the city and .hold a reception honoring the volunteers. Freas asked if council wanted to do the same this year and if so, when did they want to hold the reception. Council chose Friday, April 14, 2000 as the evening on which to hold their reception and agreed to the suggestion of Councilman Bannock to cook hamburgers and hot dogs instead of the normal reception fare. The reception, it was decided, would be held at the Kenai Senior Center from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Council also agreed they would serve the food and Bannock, the chair for the event, would cook.

' KMC 14.20.290(b)(1), "Appeals - Board of Adjustment" provides, (1) The Board of Adjustment shall set a date for and hold a hearing on all appeals within thirty (30) days of the filing of the appeal. However, should the thirtieth day fall on a weekend or a municipal holiday, the hearing may be scheduled for the next following weekday which is not a municipal holiday under KMC 23.40.020(a1(1)-{101 and (b). Notice of the time and place of such hearing shall be mailed to all parties interested and to all property owners within 300 feet of the property involved at least ten (10) days prior to the hearing. Please set a Board of Adjustment hearing for the above-referenced matter. The hearing date limit falls on Monday, March 27, 2000 (actual 30th day is on a Saturday). However, Ross has requested the hearing date be held until July 19, 2000 to "give the opportunity to the property owner to cure the encroachment through acquisition and replatting of property lines." Owners of the property with the encroachment, Steve and Judy Robinson, have also requested the delay in holding the hearing until July 19, 2000 (copy attached). *There were comments from council after the last more controversial hearing that future hearings of more controversial nature should be held separate from council meeting dates. clf Attachments CITY OF KENAI 210 FIDALGO AVE., SUITE 200 KENAI, ALASKA 99611-7794 TELEPHONE 907-283-7535 FAX 907-283-3014 ~ 1992 M emoranclum Date: To: Through: From: February 24, 2000 Mayor & Council Carol Freas, City Clerk ,~./ Richard A.

February 23, 2000 RCAC ******Remote Cameras Installed Near Nikiski **************************** A project funded by the Cook Inlet Regional Citizens Advisory Council will provide mariners, industry regulators, and shipping Company representatives a real time view of the ice conditions in Cook Inlet. Two intemet-accessible video cameras have been installed on a bluff overlooking the Unocal and Phillips Petroleum docks in Nikiski. The two cameras are connected to the Interact through a link set up by the National Weather Service. The live view from the cameras can been seen at http://camera, arh.noaa, gov/index.html. In order to be able to view the images, RealPlayer7 must be installed. The free sof~vare can be downloaded directly from the above interact address or from www.real.com. One of the cameras has imfi'~ed capabilities and will provide coverage during periods of low light and darkness. A special access code that allows the viewer to re-position the cameras will be made available to marine pilots, vessel captains, Coast Guard officials, and other users of the dock. The cameras have six settings that provide a full-range view of the Unocal dock and the East Forelands area of Cook Inlet. The Phillips Petroleum dock is also within range of the cameras. Remote video cameras will monitor Cook Inlet ice conditions A third camera has been installed directly on the Unocal dock. This camera will be used to record tide levels and current flow information. The images from this camera will be recorded on a VCR and will not be available on the intemet. The information gathered by this camera will be used as a reference source for any future ice monitoring work. The cameras are being tested to determine if they can provide accurate and useful information aborn ice conditions in Cook Inlet and around the docks. Ice has created several problems over the past year for shippers. In January, docks at Nikiski were damaged when ice forced vessels off the facilities, breaking mooring lines and damaging catwalks. The cameras were installed by SeeMore Wildlife Services, under a contract with Cook Inlet RCAC. The Homer-based company has set up other remote cameras around Alaska, including McNeil River and Gull Island. The Cook Inlet cameras will remain in operation through April of this year. (Back) ****Port Graham Upgrades Oil Spill Response Equipment****************** The Coast Guard recently delivered a 20-ft container of pollution response equipment to the Kachemak Bay village of Port Grabs. Members of Marine Safety Detachment Kenai coordinated the move with MSO Anchorage. The impetus for the move came out of a casualty involving a capsized fishing boat in 1999. The village used all of its limited supply of sorbent boom to protect the shoreline from the spill of diesel fuel from the vessel's fuel tank vents. Aware of the situation, MSD Kenai members identified an available container and outfitted it with basic response gear and protective equipment from an existing inventory of equipment staged in nearby Homer. The Coast Guard and the Port Graham Village Council entered into a Memorandum of Understanding that outlines the use, replacement and disposal of the equipment. Similar MOU's are in place in St. George and St. Paul, Alaska. The Port Graham Village Council and local residents were extremely pleased to have the container staged in t,a Chris tg'oodle presents key to Port Graham Fire their village. Port Graham has a permanent population of Cnief, Wayne Norman. around 200 residents and an additional 100 people live in the village during the busy summer fishing season. It is an active and viable fishing port with a new state-of-the-art cannery and hatchery that was recently completed to replace the former building that burned in 1998. ******Cook Inlet RCAC Annual Meeting Rescheduled*********************** The Cook Inlet RCAC will hold its annual meeting on Friday, February 25, at the Cook Inlet Aquaculture Association building in Kenai.
