ITEM 6: NEW BUSINESS
Draft Ordinance amending KMC 12.25.030 Leaving of junked or illegally
parked vehicles--Discussion
Kebschull indicated the reason for adding the statement 'to obscure "junked vehicles"
from public view' was an effort to work with the public. Bryson thought the term
"public view" needed more clarification; for instance, is the adjacent neighbor
considered public view. Kebschull stated the ordinance would be scheduled for public
hearing at the next meeting and she would get a clarification from the attorney
regarding the "public view" term.
Nord asked if covering a vehicle with a blue tarp or storing it within a van is
considered obscuring from public view. Kebschull replied the legal opinion is if it is
covered the City cannot verify that it is indeed a junked vehicle so it is possible to have
it covered with a tarp or stored in a van. Kebschull continued, it is a difficult situation
as the City does not enter a property to determine whether a vehicle is junked or not.
If a complaint is made, the Building Official will go by the property and take
photographs from the street rather than enter the property.
When asked for his opinion on the issue, Councilman Bannock thought perhaps the
term "screening" would be a better term.
After further discussion Kebschull noted the Public Works Director would meet with
the Mat-Su Valley staff to determine how they handle junked vehicles. Kebschull will
take the Commission's comments back to the City Attorney for clarification and will
report on the outcome of the meeting in the Valley at the next meeting.
PZ00-30 - Landscape / Site Plan Review - Tract 3-B- 1, Cook Inlet Industrial
Air Park, No. 6 (255 Airport Way), Kenai, Alaska. Application submitted by
Bob Favretto, Kenai Chrysler, 10288 Kenai Spur Highway, Kenai, AK
99611.
MOTION:
Commissioner Jackman MOVED to approve PZ00-30 and Commissioner Nord
SECONDED the motion.
Kebschull noted the application was straight forward, however staff recommended that
if a dumpster is required, that'it be screened. Councilman Bannock noted that
currently, a dumpster was not in the plans but if it were added at a later date, they
would comply with City requirements.
Commissioner Jackman asked where the vehicles would be placed on the lot.
Councilman Bannock explained the drawing and indicated the vehicles would be
displayed and situated in various locations.
Commissioner Bryson abstained from voting on the issue as his firm was working on
the project.

ITEM 5-
OLD BUSINESS
5-a. Discussion -- Review Goals of 4/3/2000 Work Session
Huhndorf referred to notes of the April 3 and 17 work sessions which were included in
the packet which discussed the future of the Commission, suggested projects the
Commission could.undertake,, etc. Also included in the packet were copies of
Ordinances No. 1866-2000 and 1867-2000 which changed the Historic District Board
to a Commission and amended the responsibilities of the Commission.
Inventory of historic objects -- Discussion followed regarding the formulation of an
inventory of historic objects which had been stored on city property. It was decided
the Commission would first develop the inventory by visiting the sites where it is
stored, photographing the items, etc. Future work could include researching the
history of the items through interviewing people in the area who worked with the
items, contacting manufacturers of machinery, etc. Commissioner Preston offered to
contact the Kena/Visitors Center to discuss using forms they had available for doing
the inventory.
Exhibit area for historic objects -- The Commission discussed possible sites to be
used for exhibiting the items after they are inventoried. DeForest noted the State
historical organization had funds available for remodeling historic buildings in which
to house historical items, but no funds are made available to construct new buildings
for that purpose. Use of the old Fish & Wildlife Headquarters was discussed in length
and it was noted the building had been deeded over to the Kenai Native Association,
Inc. (KNA). The Co__mmission discussed the possibility of the City leasing the building
for use as an exhibit area and will contact KNA as to the possibility of such a lease.
DeForest reported it was her understanding an application had been filed with the
National Register for the building to be recognized as an historical site.
The Commission also discussed the possibility of using a city digital camera to take
pictures of the items or using personal cameras. Freas explained the Commission did
not have any budgeted funding and suggested the group put together a brief report
explaining their objective in developing the inventory and estimated cost information
to present to council and request possible funding of the project.
Assignments were made as follows' Huhndorf to fred out where items are stored;
Preston to contact KVCC about the inventory form; DeForest to contact OHA regarding
possible funding to take the inventory; Clausen to help DeForest; Lindgren to contact
KNA about the possibility of leasing the old Fish & Wildlife Headquarters in Old Town.
Shkituk' Park-- The Commission briefly discussed the Park and decided to wait on
any further development of the Park until after the inventory was completed.
Discussion -- Open Meetings/Communication Between Members
Huhndorf referred to a telephone discussion he had with City Attorney Graves
regarding communications between members outside of meetings. He was advised to
remember that no more than two members could get together at one time to discuss
Co_m____m~ssion matters; no decisions could be made out of an official meeting; and to use
common sense.
ITEM 6:
NEW BUSINESS
6-a. Discussion -- Kenai Historic Commission Responsibilities/Review of Ordinance
Nos. 1866-2000 and 1867-2000.
Huhndorf reported he attended a meeting on July 19 with City Manager Ross, Marilyn
Kebschull, Ewa Jankowska and Sheryl Padilla in regard to the changes made by
council, i.e. the change of the Board to a Commission; Planning & Zoning Commission
taking over some of the Board functions; monthly meetings; their responsibility of
historical sites/items ranged throughout the city, etc. Ross also explained that any
items regarding the Townsite Historic District to come before the Planning & Zoning
Commission would be forwarded to the Historic Commission for their information. If
they desired, they could go before the Planning & Zoning Commission on an individual
basis to give testimony and comments. It was also explained Library Director
Jankowska's role was not specifically stated, but would be someone to go to for help in
researching historical information, etc. Questions to Kebschull now would be only
about ordinances, etc. City Clerk Freas would be preparing the packets. Huhndorf

PERSONS PRESENT NOT SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD -- None.
ITEM 9'
COMMISSIONER OUESTIONS/h COMMENTS
DeForest -- DeForest asked if all the Commission members would be involved
in taking the inventory (visiting the storage areas, taking photos, etc.). It was decided
an appointment would be made with city maintenance employees to take a quick tour
of items being stored on city property. From that, they would have a better idea of
what would need to be done. A suggested date was set for Monday, August 28 at 1:00
p.m. Mayor Williams would be contacted for his possible participation.
Preston -- Wanted to be sure that what the Commission does is in their scope
and what they are supposed to be doing.
Clausen -- No comments.

Commission packets and a copy of the State Historical Preservation Plan for their
review.

ITEM B:
SCHEDULED PUBLIC COMMENTS
B-lo
Michael R. Slezak, Rick Segura/Kenai Natives Association, Inc. --
Wildwood Prison Development
Blaine Gilman -- 150 North Willow Street, Kenai. Gilman explained he is an attorney
in Kenai and indicated the Kenai Native's Association, Inc. (KNA) is investigating the
potential of situating a private prison at Wildwood. He added, the proposal would be
for a low to minimum security, 1,000-bed facility. It was estimated the. prison would
generate 300 jobs in the Kenai area and would be a privately-financed $60 million
capital project. Gilman noted, KNA wanted to keep the city updated in regard to the
project and invited the city to be represented on a committee established to follow
through the process.
Mike Slezak -- Operations Director/Kenai Natives Association, Inc. Slezak reported
the State had a critical need for prison beds and presently had approximately 1,500
prisoners housed out of state at a cost of $18 million to the State. He noted, KNA
wanted to bring that revenue back to Alaska through housing a large amount of the
prisoners in a private prison facility at Wildwood. Slezak added, the proposed prison.
would supplement the current State facilities and take approximately 18 months to
build. During that time, local residents could receive training to become a corrections
officer through a class to be offered by KNA and in Anchorage in order to meet the
State standards.
Slezak noted the facility would create jobs as well as offer the opportunity for
entrepreneurial businesses to provide services. He added, treatment services would
also be available in the facility. Slezak also explained that whether a prison will be
developed at Greeley or not, the State recognized additional prison beds would still be
required.
Slezak again noted they would like two representatives from the City to be involved on
their prison committee, first discussing the concept, its viability, and then to moving
on to the public process.
Moore asked if there was a site location yet determined. Slezak stated no, but it was
their intent to go north and east of.the present facility. The facility would not be in the
city limits and the present facility would continue to operate. Swarner asked how the
KEN~ CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
AUGUST 16, 2000
PAGE 3
new facility would affect the city's water supply. Ross answered, assuming the new
facility would be on a treated water and sewer system, they would probably be
discussing the present and future capacities with city officials.
Williams noted utilities would be a major concern to the city and urged the committee
to discuss the matter in the very early stages of the planning. He also suggested
discussions should include infrastructure development and tax base produced to
augment the cost of schools and education. Williams requested broad public hearings
be held in the community and all sectors of the community be informed of the
proposed development. Williams added, he wanted to discuss appointments to the
committee with the City Manager and Police Chief.
Rick Van Hatten -- Reported he is a correctional officer at Wildwood and President of
the State Association of Correction Officers and offered to speak to council when the
matter comes up for public hearing in regard to the ramifications of a privately-run
prison over publicly-run facilities. He noted, there are many problems in regard to
private facilities including escape rates and these problems should be investigated by
the committee as the plan progresses.
Williams reported he had received a number of telephone calls in regard to the matter
and was asked if the city could finance such a project and he told them yes, through
revenue bonds based on the capability of the state to repay the debt. The Citizens
would not be asked to bear the burden.
Bannock referred to past discussions of council regarding halfway houses and
Wildwood as a suggested site for those establishments. He noted, one of the
underlying discussions in regard to halflaray houses was the overcrowding issue. He
asked Van Hatten, in his professional capacity, if there was anything he could foresee
the State was doing to correct the problem. Van Hatten answered, at this time, the
State had agreed to house prisoners in Arizona at a privately-run facility which is
more expensive for the State than it would be to house them in-state. Bannock asked
if there were any plans to expand on the need. Van Hatten answered he was not
aware of any.
Williams noted there would be a lot of discussion in the future in regard to the prison
issue and requested Ross to keep in touch with KNA until city participants to the
committee are assigned.
Discussion -- Hydrant Installation Responsibility
Jim Zirul -- 145 Fidalgo, Suite 104, Kenai. Zirul referred to his letter (added to the
agenda) which explained he had been informed by the Kenai Fire Department that an
additional fire hydrant would be required to be installed for the construction of his
4,000 square foot building being constructed on property he recently purchased from
the city. He noted in his letter that historically the City required developers to provide
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
AUGUST 16, 2000
PAGE 4
sufficient fire hydrants in developing their property and since the property had initially
been developed by the city, he felt the city should bear the cost to place the additional
hydrant.
W~!!~ams referred to Ross' memorandum included in the packet which discussed the
matter and noted the issue before council was not whether a hydrant should be
installed, but who should pay for it.
Porter stated she contacted Soldotna as to their policy for hydrants and who was
responsible for the cost because she was concerned by statements in Zirul's letter that
the city was not encouraging economic development by requiring developers to pay for
hydrants. She found out other cities throughout the Borough place the responsibility
on the developer. Porter added, because the road was changed to accommodate the
senior housing, it was not developed specifically for sale and that was why no hydrant
was placed there. She added, she felt it was the responsibility of the developer (Zirul)
to place the hydrant.
Bannock expressed his excitement that the city placing the hydrant would be a way in
which the city could help the economy through developing its infrastructure. He
believed the city was, in essence, the developer of the Zirurs property and the FAA
property in that it was the goal to have something built on the properties some time in
the future. He added, providing hydrants, water/sewer, road access, etc. was what
the city should be doing. He suggested the hydrant be placed at the comer of Senior
Court and Frontage Road to offer better coverage to the FAA property.
Frazer agreed with Bannock's comments. He asked if the plans had been approved
when the hydrant question came up. Zirul answered yes and they were about ten
days out from breaking ground. He added, if the hydrant would be placed only to
serve his building and the back part of the Senior Center, it would be placed at the
back of the clinic property. Frazer stated he saw this as an opportunity for the city to
provide infrastructure for development if placing a hydrant at the comer of Senior
Court and Frontage Road would facilitate water supply to the FAA property and the
city should bear some or all of the responsibility for placing that hydrant.
Ross explained the Fire Department received the plans on July 18 and on July 21 they
sent a letter stating a hydrant was needed, however there could have been a lack of
communication between the recipient of the letter and the property owners. Moore
asked how much property would be benefited by placing a hydrant at the comer of
Senior Court and Frontage Road. Ross answered, that would be determined by the
Fire Department through their investigation of where the roads enter, buildings
placed, etc.
Williams noted the issue was being discussed from several perspectives, i.e. is the city
the developer and is it selling the land for immediate development; is the city selling
land to a developer who planned to redevelop the land and profit from that
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
AUGUST 16, 2000
PAGE 5
redevelopment; is a private individual developing land for profit using city utilities. He
added, the city had dealt with all those perspectives through the Kmart/CarTs, Inlet
Woods and Challenger projects. Williams stated he believed it was the city's
responsibility to install the hydrant because it chose to sell the prope.rty, it was
already on the water main, and because the city had already installed hydrants all
along the main almost to the well.
It was noted it would cost approximately $4,500 to install a hydrant by the building
and approximately $16,400 to install one at the comer. Council discussed where
other hydrants were positioned in that area and Bannock stated he believed installing
the hydrant at the comer of Frontage Road would be the most advantageous to the
city and properties in the area.
MOTION:
Councilwoman Swarner MOVED the council put a fire hydrant on the comer of
Frontage Road and Senior Court and Councilman Bannock SECONDED the motion.
Swarner requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT.
Zirul was asked if he had considered having a sprinkler system installed in the
building. Zirul stated the building would have to be reengineered and it was too late
in the project to do that.
Diana Zirul -- Zirul reported that during the design process of the building, they
investigated several options and decided on a fire alarm system tied into a security
system who would notify the Fire Department ff a fire occurred. The building will also
have a knock box installed for access to the building. She also noted that the issue of
who would pay for the installation of a hydrant came to them only several days prior
to breaking ground and at that point it was too late to reengineer the building. She
added, they felt that had adequate coverage for the building if a problem occurred.
Fire Chief Elson explained placing a hydrant at the comer of Frontage Road would not
supply sufficient coverage when the FAA property is developed. He also noted, the
city's ISO rating is based on how the city meets the needs of the community and
currently is rated as a Class I water system. If the city departs from that, there would
be a risk of losing points and the Class I rating. Placing the hydrant at the comer
would help in maintaining the Class I rating.
VOTE:
There were no objections to the request for unanimous consent. SO ORDERED.

Councilman Frazer SECONDED the motion.
There were no public comments. Williams noted the letter of support for the
ordinance from the Kenai Chamber of Commerce which was added to the record at the
beginning of the meeting.
Bannock explained he requested 'the ordinance come forward as he believed it would
be good for the community. He also explained, the definition of "local" included the
Kenai Peninsula Borough and the definition of "preference" was five percent (5%}. He
added, he believed it was good business sense for the city whenever possible and
whenever probable, it was good business for the city to do business as close to home
as possible and would eliminate boundary concerns.
Discussion followed and it was noted the ordinance covered competitive bid purchases
{$10,000 or more) and would not cover non-competitive purchases. It was also noted,
it was a policy of the city to buy locally when practical and in the City of Kenai when
possible and can be monitored by council when reviewing the purchase orders over
$2,500. The "local preference" information will be included in bid documents.
Swarner stated her desire for the city to buy locally, no matter what the cost.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
AUGUST 16, 2000

Frazer stated he would support the ordinance and felt it would be a benefit to the city
and saw it as a statement that the city intends to support local businesses.
Discussion followed and it was explained the preference would never exceed $25,000
(the amount of money the local Person could overbid) and was designed to provide
protection in large construction projects where large sums of money are involved.
It was also noted a bid challenge would not be covered by the city's insurance.

There were no public comments. Councilman Moore spoke against the resolution,
stating that'passing the resolution and offering the ten percent discount would further
decrease the value of the homes and properties in the Inlet Woods Subdivision and
would set a market for all the rest of the lots in the subdivision. He added, he would
not support the resolution.
Bannock stated he would support the resolution, stating something had to be done
and fair notice had been given. Ross noted, there had been several inquiries in regard
to the sale of the properties, but this was the only person who made an offer.
Williams stated he agreed wholeheartedly with Moore that the value of the other lots
would drop if the resolution was to pass. He added, he believed more would be lost
than gained through property taxes, etc. after the property is developed. Williams also
stated he understood there was a lull in the current market, but believed there would
be more development within the next few years. He noted, he would not support the
resolution.

Approval -- Halliburton Release from Leases/Lots 5 & 6, Block 4, Cook Inlet
Industrial Air Park.
Attorney Graves referred to his memorandum included in the packet which explained
Halliburton requested the release because they no longer use the property and the
FCC directed them to dispose of any of their unused properties for regulatory
purposes. Halliburton will still be responsible for environmental remediation and
cleaning up the property sufficient to receive a letter from DEC requiring no further
action. Before DEC issues the letter the City will be contacted (the owner of the
property) to be sure the property is cleaned to its satisfaction. He added, while this
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES

action would release Halliburton from the lease, it would not release them from their
legal obligation to clean up the properties, which was a condition of the City. Graves
added, the lease was to run to 2020 and the $60,000 represented about five years of
the lease payments.
Ross noted tests well were on the site and were continually checked. Halliburton had
already removed a lot of soils from the property. The City had been involved in the
negotiations and received remediation information prior to negotiations (which were
reviewed by a consultant). Administration was asked if they were satisfied that
anything remaining on the property wouldn't hinder the value of the property. Ross
answered, their may be restrictions placed on the deed in regard to the water table
depth and how deep one could dig into the ground which would be part of the "no
further action" request. He added, administration felt the city is protected.
MOTION:
Councilwoman Swarner MOVED to release Halliburton from the leases on Lots 5 & 6,
Block 4, Cook Inlet Industrial Air Park and Councilman Frazer SECONDED the
motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED.
H-4. Discussion-- Hydrant Installation Responsibility -- Discussed after B-1.
H-5. Discussion -- Extension of Sidewalks at Leif Hansen Memorial Park
Williams explained he requested the matter be placed on the agenda since there were
no more spaces available on the current sidewalks for purchase. Swarner suggested
reformation in regard to the original design be provided prior to council discussing the
matter in depth.
Ross reported he met with Parks & Recreation Director Frates after council's last
discussion on the matter. Frates will include the matter for the Parks & Recreation
Commission to discuss and those comments would then be brOught forward to council
with a suggested design. He added, administration was planning to fund and develop
additional sidewalks in the Spring prior to the next budget discussions.
Councilman Frazer noted his concern there were sidewalks throughout the town
needing repair and it was explained those repairs would be done in the near future.
Williams suggested the development of a memory wall with a sunken one-half circle
where bricks or tiles could be purchased and inscribed. Swarner noted she had
received comments from constituents who would have liked to purchase a sidewalk
space but found that to be too expensive. The wall would be an alternative and would
be an asset to the Park. Williams suggested a walkway extend from around the
anchor and lead to a wall and then back to connect with a flowerbed and then to the
other walkway.

council in regard to releasing BOR restrictions on the properties and possibly six
months until all parties agree on a proposal to finalize the matter.

Municipal Park. He noted, approximately 50 trees were marked by the Borough's
Spruce Bark Beetle expert as either dead or dying and would be removed by a

chainsaw and hand removal. He noted, this would be a city project, under city

Dear City Manager Ross'
The Kenai Peninsula Borough Project Impact office has been housed at the
Alaska Regional Aircraft Training Center (ARATC), 450 Marathon Road through a
special use permit since June 9, 1999. The existing use permit is scheduled to expire on
September 30, 2000.
Recently we were informed that the actual performance date for Project Impact
was until March 31,2001. We have made arrangements to extend the coordinator's
position until that time. We would like to continue housing the project at the ARATC
through the extended performance under the terms of the existing use permit.
The Kenai Peninsula Borough has enjoyed the comfort of the center, the rental
use of training rooms and an amicable relationship with the contract service providers of
the facilities. We look forward to our continued partnership for natural disaster
mitigation work under the Project Impact banner. Please contact me, or our project
coordinator Kathy Scott if you have any questions or concerns regarding a six month
extension of the permit.
Sincerely,

Lease Transfer at the Kenai Fine Arts Center
The Kenai Arts and Humanities Council Board of Directors (KAHC) passed a resolution to transfer its
lease of the Kenai Fine Arts Center to the Peninsula Art Guild (PAG), effective September 15, 2000,
contingent upon approval of the City of Kenai. The PAG Board of DirectorS passed a resolution to
accept the transfer of the lease, and assume all responsibility with regards to the Kenai Fine Arts Center
previously held by KAHC.
When the original lease was signed, PAG did not have its 501 (c) 3 status or else it would have been the
leasee instead of KAHC. Now that PAG has its 501 (c) 3 designation and is in the financial position to
take responsibility for the Kenai Fine Arts Center, both Boards have agreed to the lease transfer and
want approval from the City of Kenai for such a transfer.
Please let me know what steps each Board needs to take in order to facilitate a transfer of lease for the
Kenai Fine Arts Center from Kenai Arts and Humanities Council to the Peninsula Art Guild. I can be
reached during the day at 283-1991. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

Dear Mr. Ross:
For ease of reference, I have enclosed a copy of the above lease for property at the Kenai
Airport. This lease is due to expire on September 30, 2000, and covers a tract of land that is
used for the Runway Alignment Indicator Lights (RAIL) and Medium Approach Lighting System
(MALS). Also included in this lease is a 25-foot easement for a buried high voltage cable.
The FAA has a continuing need for these sites and would like to renew this lease. A
modification is enclosed to accomplish the renewal and upon finding this document to be
acceptable, please sign all copies and return two with original signature for our files.
Upon review of the existing lease, it was noted that the lessor was previously identified in error
as the State of Alaska. The lessor should have been the City of Kenai and the enclosed
modification reflects this correction.
If you require additional information, please contact Mike Davis, FAA Contractor
Representative, Automated Information Management Inc., at 271-5958. Please direct all
correspondence to Mary Buckle, or if you need to reach me, please call me at 271-5369.

Staff report as read by Max Best.
PC Meeting 8/28/2000
Purpose as stated in petition' Not needed for access, originally platted through existing structures, never
constructed as a road, right-of-way originally platted as 'visionary' road for the future.
Petitioner(s): Richard Segura for Kenai Natives Association of Kenai, Alaska
Public notice appeared in the August 2 and August 9, 2000 issues of the Peninsula Clarion.
Eighteen (18) certified mailings were sent to owners of property within 300 feet of the parcels; sixteen (16) of the
receipts have been returned.
Eleven (11 ) regular mailings were sent to agencies and interested parties' six (6) notices were sent to KPB
Departments. Three (3) notices were posted in public locations. The notice and maps were posted on the
Borough web site.
Statement(s) of non-obiection
Homer Electric Association
Central Emergency Services noted that the vacation is not in their service area.
KPB River Center Staff
KPB Coastal Zone Management
Statements of support
The Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission approved the vacation, noting that the vacation would not land lock
any parcels, no city utilities or accesses appear to be affected by the vacation, and there are no future road plans
which would utilize the right-of-way.
Staff discussion
When the parcel of land was transferred to the Kenai Natives Association by United States Patent AA-81429
recorded in Book 547 Page 167 Kenai Recording District, a right-of-way easement was excluded from the transfer.
This easement had been transferred by quit claim deed to the State of Alaska under the authority of the Alaska
Omnibus Act, Public law 86-70, 73 Stat. 141. The only visual representation of this easement which staff could find
is attached to the quit claim deed, which references PLO 1216.
The only interest which the Borough can vacate is the Borough's interest. If there are underlying interests in this
easement, such as the State of Alaska, this action will not vacate their interest.
The easement was created by document and, if the vacation is approved, will be vacated by Planning Commission
resolution. No changes to the boundary of the parcel will result from this vacation, and the area will not be
changed.
Findings
1. Sufficient rights-of-way have been dedicated to serve surrounding properties.
2. Per petition, right-of-way easement proposed for vacation is not in use.
3. Per City of Kenai, right-of-way easement proposed for vacation is not in use.
4. Per City of Kenai, right-of-way easement is not needed for future use.

.
Aerial photographs indicate improvements are located in or near the easement.
No alternative or superior access will be dedicated.
Based on findings 1, 2, 3 and 4, staff recommends granting the vacation as petitioned.
These findings can be tied to the following facts to support the recommendation:
.
That special circumstances or conditions affecting the property have been shown by application;
Findings 1, 2, 3 and 4 appear to support this fact.
o
That the vacation is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right
and is the most practical manner of complying with the intent of this title;
Findings 4 and 5 appear to support this fact.
o
That the granting of the vacation will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other
property in the area in which said property is situated.
Findings '/, 2, 3, and 4 appear to support this fact.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Approve vacation of the right-of-way easement as petitioned, subject to:
Filing the Planning Commission Resolution 2000-30 in the appropriate recording district with the petitioner
being responsible for the fees.
If the vacation is approved, the Kenai City Council has thirty days in which they may veto Planning
Commission approval of the vacation.
DENIAL OF A VACATION PETITION IS A FINAL ACT FOR WHICH NO FURTHER CONSIDERATION SHALL
BE GIVEN BY THE KENAI PENINSULA BOROUGH. APPEALS TO PLANNING COMMISSION DENIAL OF A
VACATION MUST BE TAKEN WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS TO SUPERIOR COURT AT KENAI, ALASKA

welfare or injurious to other property in the area in which said property is situated.).

OCTOBER 18, 2000 MEETING-- DATE CHANGE
At the August 16, 2000 council meeting, I mentioned that Alaska Day, a City holiday,
falls on the third Wednesday of October (a regular council meeting day) and I
requested you give some thought to whether you wanted to change the date and to
what date. Mayor Williams requested I review past minutes to see what actions had
been taken in the past when holidays fell on regular council meeting dates.
I reviewed minutes and found that since 1990, council meeting dates have been moved
several times and there was no definite pattern in determining to what date the
meeting was moved, i.e. the day following the holiday or the following Wednesday. It
would be my suggestion the meeting not be set on the following Wednesday, a P&Z.
Commission meeting date, as it is difficult to know at this time what their agenda will
include and what space needs they will require for public hearings, etc.
The October meeting schedule is attached for your review.

Test Well No. 4
Good news! We found good quality water in many aquifers in Test Well No. 4.
We found four zones with good water quality. Now we want to put screens in
each of the four zones and flow test for quantity estimates. Our bid was for
testing only one aquifer so we need an increase. It would be less expensive to
test the upper aquifers in a new test well than installing 210 feet of blank screen
in the original test well.
The attached Change Order No. 1 to Kraxberger Drilling increases the bid
quantities (at the same unit bid price). This will increase the well drilling contract
by $16,250. Larry suggested that we handle the change order by increasing the
construction contract purchase order and including it on the City Council list of
PO's over $2,500.
This change will also require an increase in engineering for additional testing by
the geophysical consultant in the amount of $4,100. A resolution transferring
funds will go before City Council at the next meeting of September 20, 2000.

RE' Kenai Well No. 4-Test Well Completion
Dear Mr. Komelis,
Please refer to the attached letter from Geoff Coble of Coble Geophysical Services, the geophysical
consultant for the Well No. 4 project. Drilling records for the test well indicate that several separate
aquifers were encountered. CGS sampled each aquifer for water quality testing and has recommended
screening 4 separate zones totaling 60 feet, located at depths ranging from 45 to 347 feet. CGS has
recommended screening all of the zones in order to maximize water quantity from the well.
Due to the fact that the aquifers are separated by several feet of unsuitable strata, it would be necessary to
install screen blank in the unsuitable zones, however the total amount of screen and screen blank, 45 feet
to 347 feet =298 feet would be way in excess of the 100 feet of screen included in the bid estimate.
Kraxberger Drilling has verbally offered to provide the blank screen for $190/ft, a savings o $35/ft
compared to the bid price of $235/ft for standard screen.
CGS has also recommended testing the upper aquifers separately from the lower aquifers to determine if
it makes economic sense to screen both the upper and lower aquifers in the production well. It is possible
that the additional flow gained from the upper aquifer would be offset by the reduced flow available from
the lower aquifer if the production well capacity is limited by the upper aquifer drawdown. CGS would
require additional test data and additional compensation for performing the added testing.
In order to reduce the cost, CGS has recommended drilling a second, shallower test well adjacent to the
first test well. The second well would be drilled to a depth of 80 feet. By drilling the second test well to
a shallower depth, it would be possible to minimize the quantity of blank screen.
A cost analysis of the two options is attached. Option 1 will result in a cost over mn of approximately
$16,250 for the Test Well, Schedule A, plus $4,100 for additional testing by the Geophysical consultant.
Option 2 would result in a cost over mn of approximately $65,200. It is possible that the production well
could either have a cost over mn or an under mn, depending on which options the City chooses for
completion of the production well. A cost analysis, based on three different scenarios for the production
well is also attached. The decision as to which option to choose for the production well should be made
after the test well data has been obtained. In order to obtain the best available information regarding the
capacity estimated capacity of the production well I recommend that the City proceed with CGS's Option
1, to drill a second, shallower test well, and to test pump both test wells.
Sincerely,.~,,~

VA DEVELOPING MEDICAL CARE FOR KENAI PENN1NSULA VETERANS
Since 1995 Veterans on the Kenai Peninsula have been traveling to the Anchorage facility
of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to receive health care. On July 29, 2000,
veterans and their families attended a meeting at the National Guard Armory in Kenai to
voice their concerns and learn about VA's plans for'developing either a clinic on the
Peninsula or to contract with local physicians for medical services. Nationally VA has
developed hundreds of small clinics, known as Community Based Outpatient Clinics or
CBOCs.
In order to form a Community Based Outpatient Clinic, VA is required by federal
regulations to obtain congressional approval, following a thorough analysis of various
options for providing veterans with local health care. At the Kenai meeting, Alex Spector,
Director of the Alaska VA Healthcare System and Regional Office (VAHSRO) spoke to a
crowd of approximately 200 veterans and family members. Mr. Spector admitted that
having driven to Kenai the same morning, he had a greater appreciation for the distance
traveled by veterans. Currently, veterans with appointments can get a ride to the VA clinic
on a van departing from the Kenai Vet Center on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
After speaking to Kenai's veterans on July 29th, VA conducted meetings with physicians
and administrators at the Central Peninsula Hospital in Soldotna and the South Peninsula
Hospital in Homer. These meetings were very productive and showed a willingness to
work with VA in developing improved access for veterans.
Veterans attending the meeting in Kenai, spoke quite candidly about the hardships faced by
patients travelling to Anchorage for care. 'The meeting was organized through a
cooperative effort of veterans' service org .anizations on the Kenai Peninsula, including
Disabled American Veterans (DAV), Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), American Legion
and AMVETS. Mr. Spector told the audience in Kenai that "I wish I could immediately
improve access to health care, however, the process of developing a CBOC could take a
year or so". The Alaska VAHSRO has formed a CBOC implementation team and.
committed to communicate progress and updates of the proposals progress.

Dear Mayor Williams'
Thank you for the City of Kenai's support to the 13t~ Annual Kenai Peninsula Run for Women. Members
of the Parks and Recreation Department, Police Department, Public Works Department and Senior Center
helped us make the' 2000 Run a success. We especially thank Bob Frates, Lt. Jeff Kohler, Officer John
Watson, Mark Johansen, Keith Komelius and Kelli Kelso for their help.
The Kenai Peninsula Run for Women has become established as an annual event, with runners coming from
both Alaska and out of state. With community support of money, food and prizes, we had a festive, fun
event for entrants, volunteers and their families.
The main purpose of the Run for Women is to increase visibility of the Women's Resource & Crisis Cemer
and the services we provide. Some of these services are a 32 bed shelter with 24 hour advocacy, education,
and support services for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault.
Our agency offers a variety of educational support groups dealing with issues such as domestic violence,
sexual assault, sobriety, and parenting. WRCC administers the Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP), the
Women, Infants and Children Program (WlC), and the Child Care Food Program (CCFP). WRCC also
provides a Transitional Living Center and a Batterer's Imervemion Program.
Any additional proceeds raised beyond coveting the cost of the mn Mil be used to directly benefit victims of
abuse and their children.
Thank you for your ongoing support of the Women's Resource & Crisis Center and the Kenai Peninsula
Run for Women.

No endangered status for bel_ .,,a:s
Federal, state off/c/als say l/sting is unwarranted
Cook Inlet beluga whales will not
be designated as an endangered
species under either the federal
Endangered Species Act (ESA) or
Alaska statute, federal and state officials
% have determined.
.) 'However, Trustees for Alaska,
representing several environmental
groups, has filed a sixty-day notice of
intent to sue the National Marine
Fisheries Service over its determination
that an endangered listing is
unwarranted.
In a federal rule published in late
June, NMFS said an endangered spe-
cies listing was unwarranted because
overharvesting bY Native subsistence
hunters is the problem and measures
are already in place to reverse the de-
cline in the beluga's population. NMFS
said oil and gas production, treated
wastewater discharges from local com-
munities, shipping and other activities
do not appear to be causing the whale's
decline. Recent studies show that Cook
Inlet belugas contain lower levels of
contaminants than other beluga whales
found in Western Alaska and in the
Arctic.
"These appear to be very healthy
animals," noted NMFS biologist Brad
.../~mith.
Research has also shown that
Anchorage's wastewater treatment
plant is iqot causing excess sedimenta-
tion in the Inlet or buildup of toxins as
Shipping traffic into Cook Inlet ports could be adversely impacted if the beluga whales are
listed as endangered under the Endangered Species Act. (Totem Ocean Tra#er Express photo)
tidal currents and fluctuations flush out
the area.
NMFS also noted that recent sur-
veys indicate a slight increase in the
beluga population from an estimated
347 whales in 1998 to 357 in 1999.
NMFS listed the beluga as depleted
under the Marine Mammal Protection
Act (MMPA)in May, giving the federal
agency long-term authority to regulate
the Native hunting it cites as the primary
cause for the beluga's decline. Prior to
the depleted determination, federal
authorities controlled harvests over the
past year through a law sponsored by
Senator Stevens and passed by
Congress in 1999 that banned hunting
until a co-management agreement with
Native groups is reached.
A co-management agreement was
finalized recently and it will allow for the
harvest of one whale this summer.
Beluga whales became a major
issue when environmental groups
petitioned NMFS in March 1999 for the
Endangered Species Act listing. By law,
the Secretary of Commerce should have

Federal, state officials say belugas not endangered
(Continued from page 1)
decided by March 3 of this year whether
to list Cook Inlet belugas as endangered.
When the determination was delayed,
environmental groups sued in May to
force a decision. On May 31, NMFS
listed the belugas as depleted under
the MMPA and several weeks later it
ruled that an ESA listing was
unwarranted.
On the state front, Fish and Game
Commissioner Frank Rue also refused
to list the belugas as endangered. He
said the whales are not threatened with
extinction, a condition that must be met
before declaring an animal endangered
under state statute. Rue noted that state
law does not allow him to list individual
stocks or populations as endangered
unless the scientific community has for-
mally recognized them as a bona fide
subspecies. This is not the case with
the belugas in Cook Inlet.
"While we share Trustees' concern
about the health of this important popu-
lation, we believe the restrictions which
are now in place under the federal Ma-
rine Mammal Protection Act will enable
the population to recover," Rue said.
The Fish and Game Commissioner said
he believes NMFS is on the right track
and is optimistic the Cook Inlet popula- '
tion will rebound.
Federal officials believe the Marine
Mammal Protection Act is the best and
most appropriate tool for reversing the
beluga's decline. The MMPA focuses
heavily on harvests, the primary cause
of the beluga's decline while the ESA is
much broader and takes habitat into
account.
Environmentalists want an ESA
listing as such a determination would
lead to additional scrutiny of virtually
every activity in Cook Inlet, as well as
the establishment of critical habitat
areas spanning much of the Inlet. Local
communities and RDC have strongly
opposed such a move since commerce,
commercial fishing, oil and gas
development and other activities have
not played a role in the beluga's decline
and should not be penalized with
additional oversight and costly permit
stipulations.
Commercial fishing would be one of several industries which could be affected by an
endangered species listing. A Seattle judge recently ruled to ban commercial fishing of
bottom fish in critical habitat areas for the Steller sea lions, a species considered endangered.
Moreover, once critical habitat
areas are established, environmental
groups are likely to file suit to stop any
activity they don't like in these areas. A
glaring case example is currently playing
itself out in the Gulf of Alaska and
Bering Sea where environmentalists
have filed suit to force an end to
commercial fishing in critical habitat
areas established for the Steller sea
lions.
In late July, a federal judge's ruling
banned commercial fishing for pollock,
cod and other bottom fish in the vast
chunks of ocean designated as critical
habitat for the Stellers. The judge's
Industrial operations along Cook Inlet have
not played a role in the beluga's decline, yet
could be impacted if the whale is eventually
listed under the Endangered Species Act.
ruling pushes boats out of the richest
fishing grounds and will force the smaller
Alaska-based fishing vessels furthr
out into dangerous waters. If the bal,
sticks, it will cost the fishing industry
$93 million over this year's remaining
season and $160 million next year.
Borough and city governments in the
region will suffer from lost taxes on fish
landings and local bUsinesses will see
a big drop in revenues since fishing is
the mainstay of most communities.
"An ESA listing for beluga whales
could be a disaster for Southcentral
Alaska communities and the economy
because in part it would open the door
to third-party lawsuits from non-
development interests," said RDC's
Executive Director Ken Freeman. "All
we need to do is look to the Steller sea
lion issue," Freeman warned. "We don't
want to go there."
Bill Pope, President of the Kenai
Peninsula Borough Assembly, warned
an endangered species listing "could
prevent any kind of industry that in any
shape, manner or form impinges on
Cook Inlet belugas." Freeman agreed
noting that even the mere perception o.
an impingement could make a project
or activity more costly and therefore
uneconomic. Already a number of tracts
in Cook Inlet have been removed from

Inlet to the Port of Anchorage. An endangered listing for the Cook Inlet beluga whales could

potential oil and gas leasing because of
perceived conflicts with beluga whales.
In addition, Anchorage wastewater
utility officials fear that an endangered
species listing could force the Munici-
pality to make substantial upgrades to
its facilities, ultimately resulting in steep
utility rate hikes.
Representative Gall Phillips re-
cently thanked RDC for its continuing
efforts on the issue.
"Together, we worked almost two
years to make sure that correct and
factual information was presented to
NMFS and that all users of Cook Inlet
would be considered in NMFS' final
decision," Phillips said. "RDC continues
to do a thorough job of bringing this
issue to the forefront through public
meetings, educational opinion pieces
and inclusion of all users that stand to
be affected," Phillips added.-"The
Legislature cannot do this type of
outreach alone; it certainly has benefited
Alaska to have RDC as the lead
organization in this sensitive issue and
others of a similar nature."
Even though NMFS and state
officials have decided not to list the
beluga as endangered, RDC will remain
in the forefront as there is still much
work to do on the issue.
RDC offers $1
,000 reward
The Resource Development Council,
in conjunction with the National Marine
Fisheries Service and Era Aviation, are
offering a $1,000 reward to the first pilot to
report a stranded beluga whale in Cook
Inlet on which a satellite tag is success-
fully placed.
Throughout the summer and earlY
fall, beluga whales occasionally become
stranded in Turnagain Arm and at the
mouth of the Susitna River. In an effort to
better understand the health, diet and
migratory patterns of the beluga whales,
NMFS monitors individual whales with
satellite beacons. The best opportunity to
safely affix a satellite tag to a whale is
during a stranding.
If a stranded beluga is sighted, please
call NMFS at 1-877-462-6625 and report
the number of whales stranded, the time of
the sighting', the physical location of the
stranding and the status of the tide.
For additional information, call RDC
at 276-0700 or the National Marine
Fisheries Service at 271-5006.
ASRC is
top exporter
A Forbes 500 company based in
Barrow and with business ties to Rus-
sia, Asia, Europe, Mexico, and Canada
and engaged in business around the
world, has been named Alaska's Ex-
porter of the Year. Governor Tony
Knowles presented the annual award
to Arctic Slope Regional Corporation
(ASRC) at the Export Council banquet
in late May.
"One of 13 regional corporations
created in 1971 by the Alaska Native
Claims Settlement Act, ASRC has come
a long way since," Knowles said. "They
started out with $44 million and five
million acres. Now they are number
246 on the Forbes 500 list of the largest
private companies. With 30 subsidiaries,
they are on line to reach $1 billion in
revenues in 2001. As Vice President
Charlie Brower put it the other day, 'Not
bad for a company out of Barrow'."
ASRC's subsidiaries represent a
cross-section of industries - oil field
service, petroleum refining and distri-
bution, construction, engineering, base
operation services, and even plastics.
Several are exporters. Natchiq builds
pipelines and provides oil field services
and module fabrication and engineer-
ing, and has activities stretching from
Sakhalin Island to the Gulf of Mexico.
ASRC has been a good corporate
citizen to Alaska. Because of its Inupiat
heritage, sharing its profits is an
important part of the corporate culture.
Not just with its 7,800 shareholders -
but with all the communities in Alaska in
which they do business, including
Anchorage, Kenai, Valdez, and, of
course, the North Slope.
Named as runner up was VECO,
Inc., an Alaska-owned company that
exports expertise in engineering, con-
struction, operations, and maintenance.
Community-based but with a global
outlook, VECO is doing business in
Alaska, the Lower 48, and 23 countries
providing training, education, and in-
vestment in technology and project
management.

Alaskans pack hearings
on proposed road ban
RDC and other groups supporting
multiple use management on public
lands rallied hundreds of Alaskans to
rise up in opposition to President
Clinton's policy to ban road building in
roadless areas of our national forests.
With the exception of Juneau and
Sitka, most residents in Southeast
Alaska attending a series of public hear-
ings held across the region opposed
the policy. For now, a decision to in-
clude the Tongass in the policy has
been deferred for four years, and many
testifying at the hearings would like the
Tongass permanently exempt.
In Anchorage, RDC members made
a strong impact at a June 28 hearing
where 35 people voiced strong opposi-
tion to Clinton's plan.
If the road ban is applied to both the
Chugach and Tongass, it would severely
limit access to both forests for all
commercial activities from recreation
and tourism to timber and mining. Unlike
the Lower 48, where most forests have
a network of roads crossing through
them and where public access is
relatively simple, the policy would have
a disproportionate impact on the
Chugach and Tongass where the road
system is extremely limited.
The policy would apply to only one-
fifth of national forest land in the Lower
48, but would close off 92 percent of
Alaska's national forest lands (98% of
the Chugach) to new roads, whether
they are for campground access, recre-
ation, fishing, logging or sight-seeing.
With so much of the Chugach already
roadless, the policy would make it nearly
impossible to disperse recreation as
Alaska and its tourism industry grows.
RDC President Bob Stiles de-
nounced the policy as an end run around
Congress since the plan will be imple-
mented with administration action only.
"This policy represents a mandate
that has come from the top down,"
Stiles testified. "One of its major flaws is
that it is a one-size-fits-all approach
which doesn't work in Alaska or many
other places."
Executive Director Ken Freeman
pointed out that even without the policy
applying to the Tongass, 84 percent of
all old growth trees in the forest would
remain uncut, only 10 percent of the
forest's commercial timber would be
available for harvest and that only 7
percent of Tongass' roadless areas
would be harvested over a 200-year
rotation.
Yet Freeman's focus on the facts
had little impact on those expressing
emotional arguments supporting the
policy. Several people testified that the
policy must go forward, otherwise they
claimed there would be no trees left in
the Tongass. A school teacher proudly
noted that she refuses to distribute
seedlings from Koncor Forest Products
to her students, fearing it would give
children the impression that it is okay to
cut trees in a national forest.
Others called for a ban on all logging
while some even urged that existing
roads be ripped out of the forest. One
activist claimed "roads are not a
problem, it's people who pollute and
destroy." He said fewer roads would
bring fewer people to the forest. Still
others spoke of the Tongass and
Chugach as if they were the last quiet
and wild places left in America.
RDC members and staff rebutted
each argument and emphasized that
national forests in Alaska should not be
managed as national parks where
preservation is the prevailing
management emphasis. Both the
Chugach and Tongass are multiple use
units where logging, mining, recreation,
commercial fishing and other activities
are provided by law. Multiple Use
management is particularly critical in
both forests since Alaska contains 70
percent of all national park lands,
including 62 percent of all federal
Wilderness.
RDC member Dave MacDowell told
those attending the Anchorage hearing

"We should keep our options open

Stan Foo
"With a growing population in
Southcentral Alaska, why should
reasonable access be limited to only
two percent of the Chugach. The time
will come when people will need to be
dispersed into new areas of the
forest."
Frank Brown
"Further roadless designations are
not fair, not legal and not in the best

What RDC members
had to say ...
"Shame on President Clinton for
playing election year environmental
pofitics with Alaska lands. Our
national forests were created to
provide multiple-use benefits to the
public, including recreation, habitat
for fish and wildlife, and production of
resources such as timber and miner-
als that are vital to our nation. The
proposed roadless policy will close
many areas to multiple use
opportunities because road access
will be denied."
Dennis Stacey
"The roadless policy is not based on
science, not based on public input
and not based on local needs and
desires, but instead on pure pofitics. "
John Sturgeon
Koncor Forest Products
-". "National forests are mandated by
Congress managed for multiple
to
be
~ use. The roadless policy will close off
92 percent of Alaska's national forest
lands to roads whether they are for
campground access, recreation,
fishing, subsistence harvest or
sightseeing."
Rick Rogers

"Forest roads are part of America's
outdoor.recreation fabric. Today's
access roads link national trail
systems, whose exceptional hiking
experiences are world renowned."
Don Follows

"1 find it amusing that environmental-
ists supporting the proposed road/ess
ban in the Chugach and Tongass say
it's needed to reach a balance
between development and the
environment. Such an argument is so
outrageous since the vast majority of

development."

"1 absolutely hate the road ban

reason is simple: I like the access that
roads provide. They help my family get
to places that would otherwise be difficult
for us to see. BUt the proposed ban
eliminates choices, removing any
opportunity for discussion about access
in the future."
Fellow board member Frank Brown
took exception to arguments that the
ban is needed to restore balance in the
Tongass and Chugach. Brown noted
that the balance in both forests is al-.
ready weighted heavily toward preser-
vation. He pointed out that the vast
majority of Alaska's 13 national parks
have no roads.
RDC Executive Committee
member Marilyn Crockett, responded
to testimony that echoed the sentiment
of the Clinton-Gore administration that
the road ban is the last opportunity to
protect America's last remaning
wilderness. "1 don't know if that's true
for the Lower 48, but I can assure you it
is absolutely NOT true in Alaska,"
Crockett said. "The fact is almost half of
Alaska is already set aside in federal
conservation units," Crockett added.
"To put things in perspective, it's too
bad we don't have a map here showing
the huge areas of Alaska already set
aside in wildlife refuges, national parks,
forests. Alaska doesn't need more areas
put off-limits -- we need fewer of them."
RDC would like to thank those
members who took the time this summer
to either testify at a public hearing on
the roadless issue or submit comments
on the policy. Many also submitted
letters to the editor of their local
newspaper as part of an effort to educate
the general public and to counter
misleading statements supporting the
policy.
RDC would also like to thank the
Alaska Forest Association for its efforts
in Southeast Alaska in rallying
opposition to the road ban. AFA not
only was instrumental in getting large
numbers of people to local hearings, it
coordinated a yellow-ribbon campaign
throughout Ketchikan to demonstrate
Alaskan opposition to the policy.
Meanwhile, environmental groups
orchestrated a major post-card
campaign asking Americans to save
the Tongass and Chugach from loggers
and miners. The simple emotional
appeal has unfortunately resulted in
large numbers of well-meaning, but ill-
informed Lower 48 residents supporting
the policy in the belief that Alaska's
national forests are vanishing and have
no protection without the policy.
The public comment period closed
July 17. Administration officials will draft
a final rule and they expect to unveil it in
late fall or winter, before Clinton leaves
office.
