He called the meeting to order at 7:05 p.m. The roll was taken as follows: Present: Absent: Others Present: Clausen, DeForest, and Kluge Huhndorf, Preston, Russell, Lindgren Librarian Jankowska, Councilman Moore, City Clerk Freas, Contract Secretary Kellerby There was no quorum present and the meeting was adjourned. The members present discussed the following items: Commissioner DeForest reported on the grant application for the Alaska Department of Natural Resources/5010 Historic Preservation Fund Grant. She noted the city manager did not approve submission of the grant because the amount of the request did not warrant someone the administration of it. It was suggested the Historic Commission work with the Visitors Center to do their inventory of historical equipment and objects in the City of Kenai. Where the inventory could be displayed was also discussed and Kluge suggested the site should be designated first and the equipment could then be inventoried as it was set up. It was also suggested the meetings be held on an "as needed" basis or cancel the meetings for the winter and start again in the spring. The discussion ended at 7:25 P.M.

DeWayne Craig-- Water and Sewer Billings Mr. Craig introduced himself and stated he had been in Kenai since 1979. He said he had never been "anti-City" before and.had worked with the City over the years on such projects as planting shrubs along the bluff to help stop erosion. Mr. Craig proceeded to tell Council that he had purchased a house in Old Town, had done some work on it and was trying to sell it. He explained that the City had.placed a green notice on the door of the new house, telling him to come in and sign up for water/sewer services or the water would be disconnected. Mr. Craig stated he then went into City Hall and said he didn't want to sign up for services because the house was not occupied. He said he was told he had to sign up and pay for monthly services even if the house was not occupied. Mr. Craig reported that after some discussion with several people at City Hall he left without signing up for water and sewer services at the unoccupied house. He stated he spoke with the City Attorney and the City Manager without satisfaction of his complaint. As a result of his not signing up for water/sewer services, he explained, the water at the house was disconnected and he was charged a $20.00 fee to re-connect the services. Mr. Craig told Council he was not told that he would be charged a reconnect fee if the water had to be shut off. He stated he would have made a different decision if he had had that information. Mr. Craig said he wanted two things of Council: 1) to be reimbursed $20.00 because no one had explained to him about the reconnect fee; and 2) to have the reconnect fee information printed on the green notices. After some questions and discussion, Council agreed to reimburse Mr. Craig $20.00. They also asked Administration to add wording about the reconnect fee to the green notices. Councilwoman Porter also suggested Administration prepare a "user-friendly" handout that explains the mandatory connection policy and the reconnect fee to all new customers.

Councilman Bookey MOVED for approval of Resolution No. 2000-60 and Vice Mayor Swarner SECONDED the motion and asked for UNANIMOUS CONSENT. Public comment: Joan Bennett Schraeder of Kenai introduced herself and stated that she had been on the committee for the Youth Detention Facility since its conception about three years ago. She stated how very important the facility was to the community and thanked Council for its support. She asked Council to encourage the community to follow the project and maybe even volunteer to sit on the committees once the State of Alaska funds the facility. Vice Mayor Swarner asked that the "whereas" statement addressing the City's providing of a parcel of land on Marathon Road for the facility be moved into second place on the resolution (instead of sixth) to make it easier to see.

MOTION: Vice Mayor Swarner MOVED for approval of Resolution No. 2000-61 and Councilman Bookey SECONDED the motion. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER !9, 2000 PAGE 5 There were no public comments. Councilman Bookey stated his concern regarding the large differences between the bids. Public Works Manager Komelis explained that Jackson was high in some areas of the bid and low on others, but he was low over all. Komelis also mentioned that this bid does not include the control panels that IISCO is doing; he stated that will be an additional cost above this bid. City Manager Ross stated that Mr. Jackson has had a chance to review his bid and apparently believes he can do it for the bid amount.

Councilman Bannock explained his reluctance to support this resolution because the issue is already going before the State voters. Councilwoman Porter stated she will be voting no on this initiative in November but she did not feel the Council should take a stand. Councilman Bookey agreed. Mayor Williams said that city councils across the state are taking positions on this bill. He said there is a major drug problem in the State of Alaska and he has no qualms about letting the citizens of Kenai know that the City Council is against this proposition. Councilman Frazer also said he believes Council should take a stand on the issue and that he, too, would be voting against the initiative in November. He stated he supports this resolution. Vice Mayor Swamer did not support the resolution, she said, even though she would also be voting against the initiative in November. She stated she did not believe Council, as a body, should take a stand. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 19, 2000 PAGE 6 Councilwoman Porter stated she felt because she represents the citizens of Kenai and had not received any input from them about this issue that she didn't feel she should take a stand on their behalf.

MOTION: Councilwoman Porter MOVED for approval of Resolution 2000-63 and Councilman Frazer SECONDED the motion. No public comments. Most council members stated they felt the same on this resolution as on the last one-- that they should not take a stand as a body in telling constituents how to vote on an upcoming initiative. Mayor Williams said it was very important for tax payers to understand the strong negative impact this tax cap would have on the City of Kena/. Councilman Frazer said he agrees with the resolution completely and believed it was in the best interest of the City of Kena/and its citizens. He stated he will support this resolution. AT EASE: 8:01 p.m. RETURn: 8:15 p.m. Council discussed at length several motions to amend the wording of this resolution in various ways, coming to no immediate conclusion.

SO ORDERED. MOTION to amend: Councilman Bannock MOVED to amend Resolution 2000-63. After much discussion, four changes were made to the original resolution, leaving it to read as follows: A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, OPPOSING ANY NEW STATEWIDE-IMPOSED TAX CAP. WHEREAS, if passed, Ballot Measure No. 4 would primarily limit local mill rates by state law to ten mills, including future bond debt, except for cities in boroughs where the limit would be 20 mills; and, WHEREAS, even though Kenai currently has only a 3.5 mill rate, passage of Ballot Measure No. 4 would ensure that residents and businesses with property of equal value would pay different amounts of tax and Kenai's ability to bond, with voter approval, for future projects and improvements could be restricted; and, WHEREAS, if passed, Ballot Measure No. 4 would limit increases in assessed value of individual properties to no more than two percent per year, despite actual market value increases, unless the property is sold or newly constructed and not allow a provision to reduce assessed values if property values decline or even if a property is destroyed; and, WHEREAS, the proposed statewide initiative would permanently remove the power of local voters in Kenai to determine the appropriate amount of local revenues to pay for schools, police, and other critical local services; and, KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 19, 2000 PAGE 8 WHEREAS, the City of Kenai feels that if a tax cap, under Ballot Measure No. 4, is initiated statewide, the Legislature will be called upon to fill the shortfall in revenues of those communities most affected and the loss of this revenue in the statewide pool could and would affect cities such as Kenai through loss of revenue in other areas; and, WHEREAS, a municipality should be able to set their own mill rate; and, WHEREAS, the tax cap loss would be as much as. 33% of Alaska's total property tax revenue ($451 million in 1999) collecthd from citizens and businesses (not including oil and gas property); and, WHEREAS, schools are, by far, the largest local service funded by property taxes and if the large municipal school districts are thrown into financial crises, the REAA's and smaller school districts will almost certainly see additional reductions in state education funding. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, that it opposes any new statewide-imposed tax cap because it would remove the power of local voters to determine local tax policy; would cripple schools and other key local services; would effectively halt school and other bond construction in most of the state; and would create an inequitable system of taxation. Vice Mayor Swarner SECONDED the motion to amend the ordinance and asked for UNANIMOUS CONSENT. VOTE on motion to amend: No objections. SO ORDERED. VOTE on motion to pass amended resolution: No objections to passing the motion as amended by UNANIMOUS CONSENT. ORDERED. SO ITEM D: COMMISSION/COMMI~EE REPORTS D-1.

The cost of maintaining the ice at the Multi-Purpose Facility was also discussed, Frazer reported. He said the LLC group submitted a letter requesting assistance on the cost of ice maintenance due to the heavy usage by the public. Because Mr. Baldwin was not present at the Commission meeting, Frazer said, that discussion was postponed to a later time. Vice Mayor Swarner asked who has responsibility for the ice rink signage. City Manager Ross responded that the LLC is currently soliciting businesses for signage within the facility to create revenue. Swarner stated she had noticed when driving on the Spur. Highway that it is difficult to know where the ice rink is located. Bob Frates said the issue would be brought before the next meeting of the Parks and Rec Commission.

KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 19, 2000 PAGE 15 Council-- Frazer-- No comments. Bannock-- Commented on the discrepancy between the population figure of 7,000 commonly used for the City of Kenai and the number of registered voters .shown as 4,772, saying there must be an error. Mayor Williams said the problem is W/th the election records, which are not purged very often. Clerk Freas stated the Legislature must approve the purging of records, and it's taking a long time. Councilman Bannock pointed out that the voter turnout was probably better than the 15% arrived at by using the current incorrect number of registered voters. Porter -- Asked Ross if had made an appointment with the State to address the issues on the south side of the fiver. Ross stated he had meetings scheduled in Anchorage on October 26 and 27--one regarding the south side of the river and the other the Birch Island project and BOR issues. Porter also asked if anything is being done toward using the upstairs portion of the AARF building and maybe having the Borough use it for their emergency personnel. Ross said discussions are ongoing with the Borough on the subject. Porter said Sheryl Padilla is working on the newsletter. Porter asked the Mayor to write a greeting for the first edition of the newsletter. Moore -- Asked Komelis about the construction of Redoubt Avenue, saying people are asking him why it is built the way it is. Komelis said there will be curbs and gutters someday, and that the low spots will act as a catch basin for water runoff. He said Forest Drive will be built the same way but with curbs, gutters and storm drains. Bookey said Redoubt looks like a roller-coaster with maybe a two-foot variations in height. He said that Redoubt will become the City's when it's finished, and he asked if the City has any choice about how it's being built. He said he doesn't agree w/th how it's being done and will talk to the project manager himself. City Manager Ross asked Komelis to set a meeting with the State to discuss these questions. Swarner -- She thanked the other council members for their support in choosing her as vice mayor. She said she is also concerned about Redoubt Avenue. Bookey-- No comments. W~ams -- Pointed out item I-4, requesting an ad for the Hockey Booster Club. A $200 check has been sent, he said. Williams also said he was visited Wednesday, October 18, 2000, by Mr. Lindsay Dingmore, the government representative for Cross Timbers Petroleum. They toured Kenai, visiting the fire training center, the Challenger Learning Center and the Visitors Center. Mr. Dingmore was impressed with what Kenai had to offer, Williams reported. Mr. Dingmore advised Williams that his company will be retaining and employing about 30 employees on the two platforms they recently acquired from Shell. They will be reworking and cleaning out wells and possibly drilling three or four new wells. According to their geologists, their production goal is 4,000 barrels a day from those two platforms, and 10-12 years of continued production there. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 19, 2000 PAGE 16 EXECUTIVE SESSION- None Scheduled ITEM K: ADJOURNMENT The meeting adjourned at approximately 9'30 p.m. Minutes transcribed and prepared by: Sheryl A. Padilla, Deputy City Clerk KENAI CITY COUNCIL WORK SF_~SION OCTOBER 17, 2000 7:00 P.M. KENAI COUNCIL CHAMBERS MAYOR JOHN J. WILLIAMS, PRESIDING Council Present: Staff Present: Others Present: Porter, Bannock, Frazer, Williams, Bookey, Moore and Swarner Freas, Graves, Semmens, Kornelis, Ross and La Shot B. Arbelovsky, R. Daly, M. Chenault Mayor Williams opened the discussion noting the council-had held an economic forum several years prior and the format used in that process, while it was successful in identifying several suggestions of procedure from businesses, council and individuals, it was not the process he wanted to follow in upcoming session. He explained he wanted to collect ideas from the council during this work session and from that, contact experts in the areas discussed, and have them give presentations at the forum. He added, council could ask questions, etc. and comments and questions could be taken from. the public as well. Williams suggested contracting with Betsy Arbelovsky, Executive Director of the Economic Development District, as the facilitator. Topics Suggested by Council' The following topics were suggested by Williams' Discuss health care as a general topic that would include assisted living facilities, expansion of hospital services within the new Public Health Facility; Veteran health care services; physical therapy; etc. He suggested the hospital administrator be invited to speak at the forum. · Because of the local Native associations' participation in development of the area, representatives from Kenai Natives Association, Inc., Salamatof Native Association, and the Kenaitze Indian Tribe should be invited. · Because of indications of interest to build hotel/convention center in the area, representation should be included from interested developers, as well as businesses associated with these types of businesses. · Discuss the art/education center. · Investigate the possibility of a privately run prison built at Wildwood and the position council will support. · Use the information garnered from the forum to decide whether the city's involvement in economic development necessitates the hiring of personnel to promote the city (allowing two years to decide whether it is worthwhile or not). Bookey explained, in making his list, he asked himself what the council could do to help businesses prosper in the city and following are those ideas: KENAI CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION OCTOBER 17, 2000 PAGE 2 Review building permit fees, city regulations for development, etc. and consider changing to encourage development in Kenai. · Promote new subdivision development and development in Inlet Woods. · Promote/encourage new and small business opportunities in Kenai in order to entice larger business development. · Because of the lack of reasonably priced business property, Bookey suggested consideration of rezoning the Spur Highway corridor. He added, he believed rezoning that area would be the biggest step for council to bring business into the community. Councilman Moore suggested the following items: · Because the commercial fishing plants are the largest tax base in Kenai, he would like to invite Vince Goddard, Bob Scott, Dan Foley, Paul Dale, etc. to participate in the forum. Suggested "quality of life issues" be reviewed and investigate why people don't want to live in Kenai, why businesses choose to develop in Soldotna, etc. What is Kenai not doing? Councilwoman Porter suggested the following: · Agreed with Bookey that council should discuss a Spur Highway rezone, adding the city has to accommodate businesses to develop. Porter also stated her concerns with having a forum, hearing suggestions, and then following through. Councilman Bannock noted the following suggestions: · In updating the Comprehensive Plan, make it more than a history book of the area and a list of current assets. Instead, modify it as a development plan for the next 25 years and use it as a game plan/mission statement. · Investigate airport growth and redevelopment through expansion by usage, i.e. investigate the construction of a facility that could be rented out to an airline or support industry, etc. Discussion followed regarding the Foreign Trade Zone application and it was noted the city set aside a portion of property at the end of the airport for the application process, however not all of that property may be used. Councilwoman Swarner noted, in making her list, she also used "what can they, as a council, do" and "why do people want to come to Kenai." She stated she believed part of that decision included quality of life and aesthetics (flowers, snow plowing, grass KENAI CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION OCTOBER 17, 2000 PAGE 3 strips) and added, the first impression of the city is important. She suggested the following: · The City's greatest asset is the airport and leases for non-airport related activities on airport property should not be renewed. · The forum should be visionary and all ideas brought forward, no matter how extreme they sound, should be given attention. · People who started their businesses in Soldotna instead of Kenai be interviewed and asked why they made that choice, i.e. was it cost of property, development, etc. · Local realtors should be invited to participaie. Councilman Frazer suggested the following: · Don't set the agenda for the forum as what the council feels the main ideas are, but conduct it like an informal council meeting, hearing first discussion of council and then others. · Solicit written comments for the forum. · Include bankers, developers, etc. who want to be involved in the process. · Noted his employer chose Soldotna for their office location because there is no commercial property fronting the highway in Kenai. The airport be expanded from its current circumstances, i.e. entice businesses to locate that will not compete with the current local businesses in Kenai. Frazer added, he liked the ideas of rezoning, airport business development, convention center and hearing other ideas from the community. He added, somehow Kenai should create the need for small businesses. A general discussion followed and from it came the following suggestions: · Market city land in another way as many businesses and people looking for property for placement of a business are unaware the city has land to sell. · A Foreign Trade Zone could be a key for looking at development/expansion of the airport properties. · Is there a possibility the Coast Guard would consider stationing their planes in Kenai? · Build a maintenance facility to rent to a commuter airline who will use it as their main office and use Anchorage as a turnaround for their flight schedules. · Encourage airport businesses that would compete with Anchorage businesses, not with local businesses. · Ask contractors/developers why they aren't developing large subdivisions in Kenai. · Subordinate lots to builder(s) to develop and include in the covenants the size of houses that need to be built. KENAI CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION OCTOBER 17, 2000 PAGE 4 · The health care issue should be expanded to include more than just hospital, i.e. physicians, optometric practices, dental, chiropractic, podiatry, etc. Comments of Betsy Arbelovsky: · There would be no cost to the city for EDD to facilitate the city's forum as city tax dollars already support them. · A peninsula-wide forum would be held by EDD on December 8 and Mayor Williams will speak and council members will receive invitations. They plan to do separate forums for municipalities after December 8. ° · She would plan the city's forum format as council suggested, i.e. free- form/brainstorming and she would compile the comments, etc. after and submit to council. · Ideas already suggested for the area include DOT marine fire training because tanker traffic is increasing in Alaska; enticing technologic businesses due to redundancies in operations (different time zones); the Governor's upcoming trade mission to China in concert with a Foreign Trade Zone would offer potential for bringing in parts for construction here and shipped out to other areas; investigate the number of vacant buildings in Kenai. From the others present it was suggested representative(s) from the School District be considered as invitees as the impact of schools is an element of the formula when people are choosing where to live. It was also suggested city employees as well as others be polled to see where they live and why they there. Findings' · A forum should be held on a Saturday, no earlier than January 20 and no later than February 5. · Sponsorships should be requested as was done in the past. · Compare the list of ideas from this work session with those offered at the December 8 borough-wide forum and from that develop an invitation list. · Invitations/planning of the forum will be done by the facilitator. · Council will review the list of invitees and amend if necessary. The work session ended at approximately 9:05 p.m. Notes transcribed and prepared by: Carol L. Freas, City Clerk 0 0 0 0 03 w- 0 ~0 I0 0 0 (:3 ('~ ~ UJ 0 0 0 0 0 0 z 0 0 0 n z n IL!

While drilling the test wells, we found the water quality to be acceptable at certain levels. Unfortunately, during flow testing of the wells, we discovered contaminants were drawn from various other layers that made this well site unacceptable. Iron was found to be 3 rog/I, which is 10 times the suggested 0.3 mg/I from DEC list of secondary contaminants. All parties including the consulting engineer and the geophysical service consultant agree that we should abandon this well site. We are presently considering these options. . Re-drilling WH 2 with a goal to find higher quality of water. (Presently the color is over 50 and the well is only 287 feet deep.) PLUS, run a new water main from WH 1 into our system down Swires and Lawton to Candlelight. This would allow us to introduce additional water into the system independently from WH 1 while WH 2 & 3 would provide the maximum flow allowable through the existing line into town. Use existing WH. . New well house near WH 1 or 3 to provide additional water into the system. Plus, run a new water main into the system down Swires and Lawton to Candlelight (like Option 1 ). . Construct a new WH 4 at the end of Van Antwerp Avenue off Bridge Access Road. This would require running a water main along Bridge Access Road to the water main on the Spur. It would provide service to the waterfront area and fish processing plants. We presently have a grant to study the feasibility of running water and sewer down Bridge Access Road. This could tie into this option. These are three options that have been discussed so far. I'm sure other options will also be discussed. DEC is involved in funding and operational approval of our water system so they will have considerable input. I think it will be 30 days or more before we will have a recommendation for City Council consideration.

Tt is seen as a model for the rest of rural Alaska, and is strongly supported by the Alaska Department of Transportation and the Federal Transit Administration. Public response has been wonderful, and the impact of CARTS services has already been seen particularly in getting workers to their jobs, as well as rides for seniors, those with physical and other disabilities, and families with limited transportation options.

Knowles Nov. 17 before the Resource Development Council in Anchorage gives Alaska's business conmxtmity an update on efforts to develop natural gas. Quote of the Week "Proponents of Prop. 1 ... decided that wildlife issues should be exempt from the rough and tumble of initiative democracy. They want to insulate their imerem not only from Outside attack, bm also from any challenge here." -Andorage Daily News, ~o/~/oo, urging a "No' vote on PrOp. I Talking Points for the W; q Week of Ootober 23, 2000 Improved Rural Schools, Public Safety Proposed I Governor Proposes Ways to Bridge Urban-Rural Divide. Saying Alaska must build a bridge of better opportunity and renewed hope to span the urban-rural divide, Gov. Knowles proposed steps to improve schools and expand public safety in rural Alaska in his annual speech to the Alaska Federation of Natives convention. The g0vemor detailed a five-point plan for better schools, including fair funding for urban and rural students and more funding for school facilities. In recent years, the legislative majority has refused to adequately fund rural schools and adopted a formula under which increased enrollment in rural schools receives fewer dollars per pupil than urban schools. "That's wrong, and I'm demanding the Legislature change it this year," Knowles said. Noting legislative budget cuts have reduced the number of public safety professionals from 400 15 years ago to about 300 today, the governor proposed adding 40 more Village Public Safety Officers and 20 public safety constables. "The urban-rural divide lives in the minds of those who refuse to let Alaskans vote on a rural subsistence preference," Knowles said. "It ignores the dependence of urban Alaska on the wealth of rural Alaska. It fails to respect the strength of our diversity." I Knowles Expands Campaign on Cruise Ship Emissions. Gov. Knowles has taken his campaign to clean up cruise ship emissions to a national audience. In a guest column in last Friday's LosAngeles Times, the governor appealed for tougher state and federal standards for the giant cruise ships that operate in Alaska water~. "On any summer day in Alaska, a dozen massive cruise ships - some 14. stories high and three football fields long- ply our pristine waters to watch whales, witness glaciers calving and visit our coastal communities," Knowles wrote. "Just one of those cruise ships can discharge 350,000 gallons every day of 'gray water' - waste from showers, sinks and kitchens - and treated sewage known as 'black water'." Stricter regulation of the industry is pending before Congress, although Alaska Rep. Don Young is resisting the changes. Knowles has called for new discharge standards, a ban on the discharge of untreated sewage and new authority to the states to enforce stricter standards in state waters. I Japan-China Mission Seeks Expanded Trade. Gov. Knowles and 33 top state and private sector international trade officials depart today for a two-week trade mission to Japan and China. The group's goal is expanded trade with Japan, Alaska's Number 1 trading partner, and with China, the Number 4 importer of Alaska products. The mission is well timed as Japan's economy is rebounding after a nearly decade-long recession. And the U.S. just granted China normalized trade relations. The delegation will meet its counterparts in each nation, with a focus on the sale of Alaska seafood, energy, tourism and technical services, such as the safe shipment of oil. En route back to Alaska, Knowles makes a quick visit with BP Chairman Sir John Browne in London to discuss the development of Alaska's natural gas. Lt. Gov. Ulmer Presides Over International Fish Meeting. Lt. Governor Fran Ulmer heads to Japan this week to the PICES scientific conference on oceans. PICES scientists will share findings on climate change and its effect on marine ecosystems in the North Pacific. She will also preside over the 8th annual meeting of the North Pacific Anadromous Fish Commission where the four member nations--Japan, Canada, Russia and the U.S.-will discuss coordinated high seas driftnet enforcement and joint salmon research.
