SUB3ECT: Proposed resolution supporting establishment of a commercial hog
farming operation
I have a previous committment (Pickle Hill Public Radio Community Advisory
Board) and will he unable to at~end tonight's Kenai City Council meeting. I
wish to submit ~the following communication, c6ncerning the resolution to which
I ~efer, above, in lieu of oral testimony at the public hearing on this subject.
While I realize ~hat the proposed opera~ion would not be located within the
City of Kenai, and that local zoning regulations protect me, amd others who
are fortunate enough to reside in areas where such regulations are in effect,
I believe that other facts .must be,given ful't consideration before any such
operation is givem the City's endorsement. As we are, or at leas~ should be,
fully aware, Alaskans generally, and those on the Kenai Peninsula in particular,
are hostile to environmental laws and regulations. The rural resident who~ finds
himself living next to a large scale hog farming operation may have second
thoughts about this, but when that happens, it will probably be too late. I
am more concerned about the problems of air and water pollution which may be
caused by such an operation than I am the inconvenience of a few individuals
whose residential values, and aesthetic pleasures may suffer. When North
Carolina experienced severe flooding, no~ so very long ago, fecal wastes from
large scale hog farming operations there entered a number of its streams, and
caused serious problems both to wildlife and public health. When our local
fishing industry, both sport and commercial, depends on ~he purity of the water
in our local streams and rivers, does it make any sense at all to take amy kind
of a chance, no matter how small, on damaging it? I do not think so, and I hope
that you will agree with me, and vote agaimst this resolution.
I realize that many Alaskans, including our beloved Mayor, God bless him!
pursue economic development that will bring money into our state from outside
with the zeal that the knights of the round table in "A Connecticu~ Yankee in
King Arthur's Court" pursued the holy grail. W'e need to stop and look at any
development with such an obvious potential ~or causing devastating harm to our
environment very critically before we run willy-nilly toward endorsing it.
Folks, you all have a thinking mechanism, commonly known as a brain. Please
use them!
Sincerely,

Fax: 907-283-3014
Dear Council Members. Mayor Williams;
Please include this letter as public comment for tonight's meeting, as ! am unable to attend in
person.
I am writing in regards to the Resolution No. 2001.33 -- Supporting the Efforts of the Alaska
Pork Project, Inc. in Seeking and Acquiring Fund for the Development of a Business Plan.
Please do not pass the resolution of support for the Alaska Pork Project, Inc. (APP) on the
Kenai Peninsula. The potential ramifications for water quality degradation in the Kenai River
Watershed or other Kenai Peninsula Borough watershed areas could be devastating.
Wherever the hog farm(s) may be located in the borough could have far reaching effects on
surrounding surface water bodies, and groundwater. The potential for waste from hog waste
lagoons and sprayfields to nearby streams, as well as leaching to groundwater and estuary
areas could be detrimental to human as well as wildlife health. Although there could be
potential shod term economic benefits from the APP to community members and APP itself, the
long term effects to commercial and sport fishing and all the ramifications of decline in those
economic sectors may not be worth the short term benefits.
I encourage you to study this issue further and become familiar with issues related to hog farm
sites throughout the lower 48.
Again, ! urge you not to support Resolution No. 2001-33.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Poe'
We write this letter to seek your support in acquiring and installing a radar system in the Kenai
Air Traffic Control Tower in the near future.
The Kenai Municipal Airport provides aviation services for the entire Kenai Peninsula.
Numerous air carrier, air taxi, military, business, and general aviation aircraft operate into and
through the Class D airspace on a daily basis.
Daily scheduled operations provide passenger and freight traffic to and from Homer and
Anchorage on an hourly basis. Air carder, military, and air taxi operators conduct training on
instnnnent as well as visual arrival and depamn'e procedures. Locally based helicopter
operations provide regular transportation to and from the oil platforms and ships in the Cook
Inlet. Flight schools located at Kenai, Homer, Ted Stevens International, Merrill-Field,
Birchwood, and Palmer use the Kenai area for training. Air taxi operators provide a multitude
of flights from numerous bases in the local area to bcations throughout the Kenai Peninsula,
northward to Anchorage, and westward across the Cook Inlet.
This mix of aircraft within the local airspace, varying types of operations, intersecting flight
routes, and coastal weather patterns can and do create situations resulting in potential conflicts.
We strongly believe a radar system will help prevent those conflicts and provide a safer
aviation environment.
The "Wendell H. Ford Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21 a Century", was signed
by Presidem Clinton (Public Law 106-181) on April 5, 2000. Section 756 ofthe Act states:
Draft
"The Administrator shall develop a national policy and related procedures concerning
the Terminal Automated Radar Display and Information System and sequencing for
hstml flight role air traffic control towers."
More recemly, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) issued Safety
Recommendation A-01-09 stating that the FAA should:
"Install terminal radar displays at all towered airports where radar
coverage exists at traffic pattern altitude."
Our research indicates the FAA Alaska Region has identified the Kenai FCT for installation of
a BRITE radar system. The FAA National Headquarters has validated the requirement.
However, we understand no ftmding has been identified for this project.
We ask your help in generating this fun~g at the earliest possibility. We believe installation
of a BRITE radar display in the Kenai FCT would provide a greater "bang for the buck", than
most other bcations. This is due to the close bcation of the Anchorage ARTCC radar site, the
low cost of providing the radar signal to FCT, and the local Airway Facilities office being
located in Kenai.
We look forward to your reply and support for this project.
Sincerely,
KENAI MUNICIPAL AIRPORT

ITEM 6- OLD BUSINESS
Discussion- - Library Expansion/Public Works Manager La Shot
Public Works Manager La Shot was invited to speak to the Commission regarding the
Library expansion. La Shot provided the Commission with a schematic plan from
several years ago to use for reference purposes and answered questions the
Commission had on the areas the renovation/expansion could occur. La Shot pointed
out several important factors to be considered in planning for an expansion:
· Current new building costs are in the $200.00 per square foot range.
This general estimate was based on a $1 million figure.
· Reminded the Commission of additional costs that should be subtracted
from this figure to give a more accurate amount. After subtracting furnishing and
architect/design fees, the amount available was reduced to an estimated $750,000 and
an estimated 3,600 square feet for new building expansion.
· Pointed out other additional costs to be considered; ADA compliance
requirements, parking requirements, electrical codes, heating system changes and
boiler/mechanical room work load. The Commission then discussed possible parking
expansion options 'including expanding toward the Fire Station and "connecting" the
City Hall parking lot with the Library lot.
Commissioner Heus inquired about the general costs, advantages, disadvantages, and
practicality of a daylight basement, full basement, or an unfinished basement to be
used for storage. A discussion regarding the pros and cons of building a basement
took. place. La Shot informed the Commission basements, are not typically money-
saving options for a small area. In addition, the location of the water table could prove
to be problematic.
La Shot encouraged the Commission to focus on a main goal and determine whether it
would be most beneficial and cost effective to build a 3,600 s.f. new addition or to
make improvements in the form of remodeling. La Shot also encouraged the
Commission to seek the advice of an architect once these goals have been determined.
The Commission spoke at length about what the expansion/remodeling should
encompass. Director Jankowska stated, in her opinion, the most pressing issue would
be to remodel the existing library by providing more workspace for staff. Jankowska
stated that while providing a larger patron areais important, the current cramped
workspace should be the first improvement made and OSHA workspace requirements
could possibly be a concern in the future. Jankowska also expressed her desire to see
the children's area expanded and a larger storage area provided. Jankowska stated
she felt an estimated $1 million can provide many improvements to the existing area.
Heus reminded the Commission about a previous meeting in which ideas about storing
any possible funding in the Capital Improvement Fund was discussed. Heus asked
Moore if this was still a possibility and if the funds would be subjected to a 'sunset'
clause. Moore was uncertain, but stated setting the money aside in the Capital
Improvement Fund could be done only when a plan is established. Moore encouraged
the Commission to solidify a plan that all agree would be the best use of any provided
funding.
The Commission spoke at length regarding the idea of moving the front desk forward to
provide more staff space, moving the entrance toward the right of its current location
(thus changing the children's area), and providing new ADA bathrooms and doors.
Peters asked the Commission if everyone was more or less in agreement with these
elements being the focus of the expansion. Heus stated she felt the focus should be on
new building expansion as a "Phase I." The Commission discussed the idea of having a
special meeting to further discuss these issues.
LIBRARY COMMISSION MEETING

MOTION:
! ,,
Commissioner Heus MOVED to continue to explore the library expansion options prior
to meeting with an architect/designer. Commissioner Brenckle SECONDED the
motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED.
ITEM 5: REPORTS
5-a. Director- - Director dankowska reported on the following:
· The book circulation and number of library patrons is growing.
· A new pricing schedule for new book purchases arrived. The new prices
are significantly higher than last year and higher than what was budgeted. Jankowska
expressed her concern over the new prices and spoke briefly regarding the current
costs of various books and that this higher than anticipated cost might result in fewer
books being purchased to enlarge the collection.
· Gave an update on the new server/fire wall status. Last week a problem
involving the power supply occurred. She is closely monitoring this situation and will
look into this if it occurs again. Additionally, the IBM computer shut down
unexpectantly last week. Jankowska explained that because there is no longer an IBM
computer technician available locally, she had to call the office in Anchorage to obtain
advice. She will re-test the system on Monday. Jankowska will keep the Commission
informed if there are more problems.
5-b. Friends of the Library- - Commissioner Heus reported on the following:
· The Friends of the Library Book Sale will take place June 1 ~t from 9am-
Spin and on June 2~ from 9am-2pm. A Friends member Pre-Book Sale will take place
May 31. A tent is being reserved and the exact location will be announced when
known.
· The building fund is now at approximately $70,000.
· Fund raising for a new microfi!__m reader/printer is still taking place.
Currently, nearly $450 was donated. The total cost of the printer/reader is between
$4;000-$5,000.
· Friends of the Library are still looking into corporate sponsorship.
5-c. City Council Liaison - - Councilman Moore provided the Commission
with information regarding the last city council meeting and the status of the City
Manager applicants.

Discussion- Skateboard Park
Gifford requested an update on the status of the skateboard park. Frates reported the
issue is with City Council for review and approval and added, money for the park may
be able to come from the funds appropriated for the refrigeration system for the multi-
purpose facility. A lengthy discussion ensued which covered the various options for
the park to include location, type of material to be used, cost, etc. It was noted the
cost of the skateboard park will be approximately $32,000 for an estimated nine
ramps. More ramps could be added later.
Commissioner Castimore stated many parents expressed anger over the slow process
of getting this park constructed. It was noted complaints have been received from
some local businesses with regard to kids using their parking lots as a skateboard
park.
MOTION:
Commissioner Gifford MOVED to recommend that City CoUncil appropriate $32,000
for the cost of a skateboard park to be completed in the summer of 2001.

Frates reported the method of operation was being discussed and it is possible users of
the park would be required to complete safety training, have a parent or guardian sign
a waiver, and pay a fee. During discussion it was noted that charging a fee probably
would not eliminate the problem local businesses experience as most of the kids can't
afford the expensive sports. Discussion followed regarding training and it was
suggested by Sandahl that perhaps students and/or users of the park could develop a
safety training video.
Frates stated the issue would be the on May 16th city council agenda and after that a
meeting could be set up with parents and kids. The safety training video could be
discussed at that time. Steiner will notify the students.

ITEM 7: REPORTS
7-a. Commission Chair-- Wisniewski asked about the status of the Unity
Trail and Frates reported there was a hah§ up with the Beaver Creek section and
recommended that Public Works Mana§er Komelis be contacted for more information.
Wisniewski asked the status of the Adopt-A-Park program and Frates provided a leaflet
that was sent out. Frates reported three or four parks have been adopted so far and it
looked like this program would be a good one.
7-b. Director -- Frates reported the following:
· Four summer hires were on board and were beginning to aerate, lime,
fertilize and water some downtown areas.
· Little League is scheduled to begin on May 14th and adult softball the
week of May 21st. A tournament is scheduled for May 26 and 27th.
· Park reservations are up and it appears it will be a busy summer.
7-c. City Council Liaison -- Councilman Frazer noted the following items:
· Council is down to two candidates for the City Manager's position and
public interviews will take place and a final decision made very soon.
· Gave a report on the lots for sale within the City.
· The LLC will be bought out and those funds may also come from the
money appropriated for the refrigeration system.
Commissioner Castimore stated he was impressed with the positive attitude during the
budget hearings.
ITEM 8:
COMMISSION (~~TIONS ~ COMMENTS
Commissioner Sandhal recommended when it is apparent there will be no quorum at
a meeting, then permission to cancel the meeting should be requested from council. It
was noted it is rare when Parks doesn't have a quorum.
Commissioner Steiner announced he would not be at the next meeting as he will be
out of town until June 10th.
Commissioner Gifford asked if there would be a sign for the ice rink. Frates stated he
thought the funds would come out of the refrigeration money. Sandahl suggested a
blue state sign be requested for both directions.
Gifford suggested that the trashcans around town be replaced and she provided a
catalog with some different types. Frates stated the receptacles the trash cans go in
would be replaced.

City Clerk Memo May 3, 2001, Re: Change to Planning and Zoning
Meeting of May 23, 2001.
The memo from Clerk Freas provided some options regarding a date and/or location
change for the May 23,2001 Planning and Zoning meeting. The change is necessary
in order to accommodate the public interviews of the City Manager candidates. After a
brief discussion, the Commission decided to hold the meeting on May 23,2001 at the
Kenai Senior Center.
Discussion - Ordinance amending KMC 14.20.321 to provide- 1}
That applicants must provide evidence of bein~ current on all city
obligations prior to issuance of a permit; 2} To provide an annual
report summarizing on-site activity for the year; 3] Settin~ forth
standards for revocation of conditional use permits for non-
compliance with the terms of the permit, violations of the Kenai
Zonin~ Code, or delinquency of city obligations.
Councilwoman Porter explained the proposed ordinance change had been
recommended as there was currently no mechanism for policing conditional use
i~ermits to assure the business is still in operation or that terms of the permit are
being met. Porter continued, Administration prepared correspondence to current
listed permit holders only to find that many of them were no longer in operation. The
proposed change would require a permit holder to annually submit a one-page report
verifying their mode of operation, that they are current on city obligations (sales tax,
Borough taxes, etc.), and whether or not they are still in business. The procedure
would also prompt permit holders to request any changes to their mode of operation.
After a brief discussion, the Commission agreed this was a good idea and La Shot
indicated it would be on the next meeting agenda in the form of a resolution.
Discussion- Ordinance amending KMC 14.20.150 to provide: 1]
That applicants must provide evidence of being current on all city
obligations prior to issuance of a permit; 2~ To provide an annual
report summarizing on-site activity for the year; 3} Setting forth
standards for revocation of conditional use permits for non-
compliance with the terms of the permit, violations of the Kenai
Zoning Code, or delinquency of city obligations.
It was noted this change was exactly the same as Item 7-b but it addressed bed and
breakfast operations. The Commission felt the same about this change and it will
appear on the next meeting agenda.
PZ01-19 - A resolution of the Planning and Zoning Commission
recommending to the Council of the City of Kenai, Alaska, that the

that the owners be required to take the signs down during non-business hours. Porter
brought in a sandwich sign that only contained hours of operation and nothing more.

Re:
Legislature Adjourns- Update on Budget Information
This has been a year with positive impacts on municip~tics that will help with budgets. We think
the hard work done on the tax cap initiative win and thc residual impact of all of your discussions
with your legislators and the Governor helped greatly.
State Legislative Action- 1. Safe Communities revenue sharing increase (first increase in 17 years) of $1,137,300.
Call Bill Rolfzcn or Michael Cushing at 465-4750 for numbers.
2. $70 per student ~- adjustments increase for schools.
3. School Learning Opportunity Grant increases- approximately double last y~ar's.
4. Municipalities with school districts and with increased asse~ values compared to 1999
will pay only haft of the increased v~lu¢ of 4 mills as mandatory local contribution.
This should result in considerable local savings.
5. E-911 surcharge of $.50 to $.75 on telephones has been extended to cellular phones.
6. ' Village Public Safety Officer program has been improved with higher pay and some new
positions,
7, Power Cost Equalization was fully funded.
8. Municipal Capital Matching Grants were fully funded at $15 million.
Federal:
1. Expected increase in federal Payment In Lieu of Taxes (PILT).
2. Denali Commission~SDA/Statc "Code Blue" funding to replace outdated EMS
equipment.
3. Denali Commission Communities Priorities Program funded at $4.5 million for
community infrastructure grants, and $500,000 for thc Mini-grant Assistance Program

Dick Metteer -- Alaska Pork Project, Inc.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
MAY 2,2001
PAGE 2
Metteer explained the Alaska Pork Project, Inc. was seeking support to acquire funding
to perform a feasibility study/business plan to build a pig meat industry in Alaska.
Refemng to the information included in the packet, Metteer explained the Pork Project
would include reproduction, fattening, breeding, feeding, slaughtering, and preparing
for export, approximately 660,000 swine a year. It is felt Alaska has strong
opportunities for supplying pork products and it is estimated the project would create
460 new industry jobs, increase Alaska's agricultural production, will increase a more
diversified industrial structure.
Metteer reported he was working with local Native groups and the borough to identify
acreage for farming and has been making contacts in other parts of Alaska to identify
interest. If the project would come to the Kenai Peninsula Borough, grain could be
imported to Seward, the packing processing facility could be in Kenai, and after
processing, the meat would be shipped to ,Japan through Seward.
Metteer noted funding sources were Netherlands banking institutions, AIDA, and
Alaska Housing. He requested a council resolution in support of the project which
Metteer will include in his presentations requesting funding for the feasibility study.
Metteer was requested to forward other letters of support to adm_inistration for review.
Council directed City Manager Ross to review the information more closely and if
appropriate, prepare a resolution in support for inclusion on the May 16 council
meeting agenda.

ITEM G:
OLD BUSINESS
Discussion -- Appraisal of Five Iron Heights Subdivision, Block 3.
Ross explained that because of the requirement on the successful bidder to install a
12" water main line extension in the area, bring the road up to standards, pave it and
extend all utilities, the appraisal came in very low on the minimum cash bid basis. In
addition to the minimum cash bid of approximately $23,500, there would be
approximately $400,000 in costs for developing the parcel. He continued, the city
attorney, through his investigation and research, was proposing, as a means of
insuring development, tying a bonding requirement to an installation agreement, i.e.
the successful bidder will have to post a bond with the installation agreement, which
would guarantee the installation of all the infrastructure within two years or the bond
would be pursued to do it.
Sean Anderson -- Williams asked Anderson if he had comments to give in regard to
the summary appraisal or the bonding proposals made. Anderson stated, he realized
the bond is the best alternative method to protect the city, but his concern was the
$500,000 bond as it would take a substantial sum of his profits after the development
of the property. He suggested a $300,000 bond as the appraisal suggested the total
cost for construction costs would be in that area.
Frazer stated he believed the bond requirement as being 1¼ times the cost of the
improvements and thought it would be more in the area of $320,000, based on the
appraisal. Ross noted, the $500,000 was a very high estimate and the actual
numbers would be based on the approved engineered plans for the property
development and if those numbers would come in at $400,000, it would be 125% of
that number.
Frazer stated he investigated the idea of the bond requirement and found it to be fairly
standard in most larger communities in the state of Alaska as well as in California,
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
MAY 2, 2001
PAGE 6
however the cost of the bond is about two to three percent. He noted, the cost of the
bond is a one-time cost.
Bannock referred to Ross' comments that the estimated cost of the development would
be $500,000 and asked how the number was generated. Ross explained the number
was suggested as the cost if the city would have to do the project at Davis-Bacon
wages, etc. and the actual number would be found after the engineering design is
brought forward for approval. Attorney Graves added, the main number would be
120% of the fairly firm construction costs, which would be to cover construction and
any cost overruns. Bannock stated he saw no downside in doing the bond
requirement, however he thought that if it works for development of the Five Iron
Heights property, it should be used for any other development of city properties. He
suggested an ordinance be prepared so the discussion wouldn't be needed each time
the city allows a piece of property to be developed in the city. Ross stated Graves had
been researching ordinances in other communities and they had discussed forwarding
an ordinance as Bannock suggested. Williams noted, he wanted the developer to
understand that part of his overhead would be two percent of the actual costs
determined when the engineering is approved.
Bannock asked if it was necessarily the city's responsibility to insure the developer
bonds for electrical, telephone, nature gas, construction costs, etc. instead of what
..~had been customarily done by the city in the past, i.e. roads and water. He added, he
~..thought the amount on which to base the amount of bonding should reflect only costs
for developing water and sewer to the property. Ross explained council wanted the
property to be developed with infrastructure, if marketed. Natural gas, electric, etc.
are part of the infrastructure and the city installed those in the first portion of the Five
Irons properties. Bannock stated he agreed with imposing the standard for the
bonding, but the number on which to base the bonding should be for roads, water and
sewer. Ross stated if the appraisal is put out at a reduced value because the
developer is to install the infrastructure, bonding should be required for the costs
involved in developing the infrastructure.
Williams suggested that when developing an ordinance, the wording allow latitude on
the basis of individual development programs to enable to define what items will
require bonding. He noted, in this instance the gain to the city wouldn't be from the
sale of the property, but would be from the development. Frazer noted one of the
reasons to require bonding is so the bonding companies screen the contractors and
felt that any improvements that are not the individual responsibility of the homeowner
should be included in the bond. Frazer stated he def'mitely felt the city should have an
ordinance to require subdivision bonds of this nature for future developments.
Bookey asked, during the sale sequence, when would the bond come into play. Graves
explained the bidder puts money in escrow, the city gets the bond and the bidder gets
the deed. He added, it would be fairly simultaneous because the city would not want
to let go of the property until the performance guarantee is received.
KEN~ CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
MAY 2,2001
PAGE 7
MOTION:
Councilwoman Swarner MOVED for administration to proceed with 'the sale of the
Block 3, Five Irons Heights Subdivision and proceed with the bonding requirements as
the city manager outlined. Councilman Frazer SECONDED the motion.
Bannock stated his objections because he didn't want to make someone do something
when there had been no requirement history and there was no plan for future
requirements. He suggested an ordinance could be fast tracked and put in place prior
to the sale. Wi!l/ams noted, in this instance the city wants the developer to do a bond
and now council was asking administration to prepare documents to proceed with this
sale based on the bond requirement for this sale. This may be something that will be
discussed with the development of the Inlet Woods properties as well. Council may
want administration to develop an ordinance for future sales but he didn't want to
wait for an ordinance to be developed because of the time frame for beginning
development work.
Bookey stated he had no objection to the development of an ordinance, but because of
the sophistication of the ordinance, he was not interested in fast tracking it. Frazer
concurred with Bookey and added, he believed an ordinance should be developed, but
he didn't want to hold up this sale.
Moore noted, the property was not being sold at this meeting and thought it ludicrous
that an individual could come to the city manager to offer to buy property council
decided to make available for sale and because he initiated the sale, gets a built in
profit through the appraisal. Williams disagreed as there were no guarantees the
initiator would win the bid, etc. It was noted the bids could be much more than the
appraised value.
Williams asked Anderson if he was aware of the level of the water table in the Five Iron
· Heights area and Anderson answered yes.
Moore stated his concerns the code would allow one person to initiate the sale of all
the city's saleable property. Wi!l/ams stated the council's policy has been to liquidate
the properties, but if council wants to change the policy, it could. Discussion
continued and it was noted the city did not have to sell the property and could put the
utilities in itself. Bookey stated he was disappointed in the appraisal, but if someone
wanted to develop the property, everyone would win. Porter stated there seemed to be
some issues about disposition of city property and suggested a work session should be
held in the future to that regard and called for the question.

Discussion -- Inlet Woods Subdivision Lot Sale -- 53 Undeveloped Lots.
Ross explained the issue involved the Inlet Woods lots presently out for sale and based
on Attorney Graves' research on the bonding requirement and installation agreement,
administration was recommending the sale be delayed seven days in order to include
the same bond requirements to extend the electric and telephone into the subdivision
on condition of the sale. He added, the delay would be advertised, extending the sale
from May 11 to May 18.
MOTION:
Councilman Frazer MOVED the Inlet Woods Subdivision lots sale of 53 undeveloped
lots, be delayed from May 11,2001 to May 18, 2001 to allow the advertisement of the
-performance bond requirement relative to the phone and electric utilities.
Councilwoman Porter SECONDED the motion.
Bannock asked if the Five Irons Heights parcel was to be referenced, would natural
gas, total hard construction costs and construction financing be included in this bond
requirement. Graves answered the natural gas, roads and water were already
installed.
Jim Williamson -- Reported he lives in the Inlet Woods Subdivision. He noted, the
assessed value of the lots were now $11,300 and the appraised value is $3,400.
Wi!!iamson stated he thought the manner in which the lots were being appraised was
wrong. He noted, if the properties were offered as raw land, the appraised value would
be higher.
Williams noted the lots assessed at $11,300 were different lots than this sale included
and had all the utilities. Williamson noted there were three private lots in the section
being sold and the Borough appraised them at $11,300. He also disagreed with
having the right of first refusal allowed because he believed it could lower the number
of bids received because a person would be less likely to put the effort into preparing a
bid if the initiator could pay a dollar more and win the bid. It was noted that problem
had not arisen often over the year.

I-2. City Manager -- Ross reported he submitted a FEMA grant for $322,000
which was something usually reviewed by council prior to submission. However, until
information was collected and the grant written, there was not enough time to allow
bringing it to council. He explained, the grant funds would be used for the purchase
of a replacement ambulance, replacement of the 1982 Fire Department Blazer,
replacement of OSHA-required self-contained oxygen breathing apparatus and
compressor. The city's match to the grant would be $32,000 which be a quarter of the

ITEM J'
DISCUSSION
J-1. Citizens
Leo Oberts -- Discussed the Inlet Woods Subdivision and Five Irons Heights property
sales and stated concerns in regard to the performance bond requirements.
Jim Williamson -- Questioned why several lots were left out of the sale of Inlet Woods
Subdivision lots discussed earlier. It was explained there were four different sales for
properties in Inlet Woods based on the different ways in which the city acquired the
properties. The lots he was questioning were received through foreclosures and
needed to be sold separately and had different requirements as to how the sale needed
to be handled.
Williamson also stated his objection to the code requirements allowing a fight of first
refusal. He suggested the sales be by competitive bids and not use an appraiser,
which may increase the bid amounts for properties. A brief discussion followed and
Williams explained that because of problems in the past with property sales, the code
requires third party appraisals to insure fairness in the procedures.
J-2. Council
Bookey -- · Questioned whether the Parks Department would be able to take
care of watering the city grass. Parks & Recreation Director Frates explained he
believed the program was in good shape and noted he had already hired four summer
workers who would be helping with the fertilizing and liming program and after that is
completed, watering would begin. Williams reported he had discussed underground
watering systems recently and suggested Frates investigate costs for discussion and
consideration at next year's budget process.

FY2002 Budget Update- Change in Projected Interest
Earnings; Additional Personnel for City Clerk's Office
As a result of the last budget work session it was decided by Council to use fund balance
contributions to fund the Multipurpose Facility. At your April 18th Council meeting you
were also advised that there would be a reduction in interest eamings as a result of
declining interest rates. Attached is a copy of a memorandum from Mr. Semmens that
addresses these concerns as well as other budget changes. The FY02 impact on earnings
is less than originally projected because the draw against fund balance for the
Multipurpose Facility is phased and not immediate as of July 1,2001. The annual impact
on future years' interest earnings will be greater than in the upcoming year.
Council also asked me to review the Administration's recommendation on additional
personnel for the Clerk's office. The recommendation was for a 20-hour position. The
justification was to replace contract secretarial help and to provide other assistance to the
City Clerk, including maintenance of the records system once archiVing is brought up to
date on the current contract. The results of the review are as follows'
During the period July- November 2000, the City paid $1,063.75 for contract
clerical service in support of commissions and committees. The average services
billed was for 2.3 hours per week. September was the highest month with an
average of 3.6 hours per week and October the lowest at 1.8 hours per week. In
December there were no billings. During the period January - March 2001, the
City paid $960 for contract clerical services. The average services reported a high
weekly average of 4.1 hours. This contract was deleted in the proposed FY02
budget.
Memo to Mayor and Council
April 27, 2001
Page 2 of 2
The contract noted above does not include contract services for Planning .and
Zoning Commission clerical support. On an average weekly basis during the
period July - February there were 3.2 hours billed for meeting and minute
preparation services. This contract was continued in the proposed FY02 budget.
Once the present archival contract is completed and past records are brought up to
date there will be hours required to maintain the system. The Police Department,
which has the most voluminous records system, used 120 hours on its last annual
archival effort. This involved arehiving 15,300 documents created in a one-year
period. Based on a 50-week work year this would result in a 2.4 hourly average
per week to maintain the system if this was performed weekly.
Summary
Even using the highest weekly average reported for contract clerical services (excluding
Planning and Zoning Commission clerical support) of 4.1 hours and the Police
Department experience of 120 hours, or 2.4 hours on a weekly basis for archiving, less
than 7 hours would be needed for these functions on a weekly basis. This leaves 13 or
more hours per week on .an average available for other support services to the Clerk if a
20 hours per week position is funded.
Recommendation
My recommendation is that a 20-hour a week position be funded. Once the position is
trained, and if filled on a stable basis, consideration should be given to assigning
Planning and Zoning Commission clerical responsibilities to the position also. The result
would be additional cost savings to partially offset the cost of the 20 hour a week
position. This would involve adding 3.2 hours per week based on historical averages to
the less than 7 hours dedicated to archiving and other commission and committee
support. This would still leave an average of 10 hours per week to support the Clerk in
other duties she presently performs.

EMS CALL OF THE YEAR 2000
EMS 0554-00
"This award is meant to give special recognition to personnel who display
outstanding professionalism and teamwork in providing emergency medical care to
those in need."
On December 23, 2000 KFD received a call for a man down at the Kenai Recreation
Center. On arrival they found an unconscious man on the racquetball court with life-
threatening vital signs. His condition, left untreated for just a few more minutes, would
have resulted in his death.
The fast, efficient Advanced Life Support response by KFD personnel resulted in his
survival to the Emergency Room at CPGH, and ultimately to the intensive care unit at
Providence Hospital in Anchorage.
Just a couple weeks later, this man walked into the Kenai Fire Department to thank those
who had save him.
Capt. Engineer Firefighter Firefighter
William Furlong Eric Wilcox Jason Diorec Sam Satathite
Kenai Fire Department
FIREFIGHTER OF THE YEAR 2000
"This distinguished award is meant to give special recognition to a member of the
department who has demonstrated the following: dedication to career, pride in the
department, initiative, enthusiasm, desire to improve skills and outstanding
teamwork in the performance of their duties."
Past recipiems have included James Dye, Greg Coon, and Michael Tilly. The award is
shared this year by two members of the department that have demonstrated all of the
criteria this award requires.
Firefighter Jason Diorec has demonstrated his dedication to the fire service by setting
high goals to attain and has made many personal sacrifices to attain them. His
enthusiasm for the job has never wavered and his commitment to attaining his goals has
n~ver interfered with his desire to perform his duties to the fullest. His efforts are paving
the way for other personnel to achieve similar goals, and he is an example to follow.
John Harris has not only demonstrated the required criteria, but went way out of his way
to bring recognition to firefighters across the nation who have fallen in the line of duty.
His attempt to summit Mt. McKinley on behalf of fallen firefighters and their families in
May/June 2000 was filmed and broadcast by ABC news. Firefighters across Alaska and
the Nation supported his efforts, comributing over $7,000 toward completion of the
National Memorial in Emmitsburg, Maryland. He has been honored by the National
Fallen Firefighters Memorial Foundation, and was invited to attend the October 2000
ceremony as a guest of honor.
Jason and John have never attempted to merely meet what was expected of them, but
have demonstrated their ability to pursue their goals and exceed anyone's expectations.

********Oil Spill Response Exercise in Kachemak ***************************
Oil spill response teams joined forces in Kachemak Bay recently to test equipment and train personnel.
Dozens of vessels, including fishing boats, skiffs, skimmers, and barges, participated in the week-long
exercise. On hand for the event were representatives from Cook Inlet RCAC, Cook Inlet Spill
Prevention and Response, Inc., Seldovia Oil Spill Response team (SOS), Alaska Department of
EnvirOnmental Conservation, Unocal, Tesoro, Alyeska's Ship Escort Response Vessel System
(SERVS), Navy Supervisor of Salvage (NAVSUPSALV), local fishermen, response teams from North
Slope (Alaska Clean Seas) and Southeast Alaska (SEAPRO), and the Coast Guard. The exercise was
also observed by a delegation from Taiwan that was
interested in oil spill response methods used in
Alaska.
The on-water exercises took place on April 25th and
26th. On the first day, crews worked on the south side
of Kachemak Bay near Hesketh Island and McDonald
Spit. Several operations took place during the day.
Group 1 focused on deploying boom near Hesketh
Island and operating a Lori 3 brush skimmer. Group 2
anchored in Kasitsna Bay and worked on lightering
procedures on the CISPRI Responder Barge. Another
group worked on nearshore response around
McDonald Spit and the CISPRI vessel, SeaBulk
Montana, concentrated on offshore response efforts.
During the second day of on-water exercises, the
SeaBulk Montana worked alongside the CISPRI
Responder Barge. The vessels deployed boom and
operated a Transrec 200 skimmer (pictured at fight).
Crews also set up a booming configuration off the
beach at the end of the Homer Spit.
During the exercise, the Department of Environmental
Conservation tested its new mobile communications
center. The trailer is equipped with radios, antennas,
satellite and cell phone links, batteries, and its own
generator. The trailer can be shipped by truck, rail, or
plane to wherever the ADEC needs to set up a
communications center.
At the end of the exercise, the participants gathered at Lands End Resort for a review of the week's
activities. Several people remarked that while there were still a few problems, communication between
vessels was much better than it has been in the past. CISPRI General Manger Doug Lentsch said one
of the most valuable aspects of the week was the opportunity to work cooperatively with other spill
response organizations.
********PROPS Committee Visits AVTEC's Ship Bridge Simulator*************
The Prevention, Response, Operations, and Safety Committee (PROPS) traveled to Seward on April
27th for a meeting at the Alaska Vocational Technical Center (AVTEC). AVTEC Director Fred
Esposito invited the Committee to hold its meeting at the facility and take a tour of the Center's new
Full Mission Ship Bridge Simulator. The simulator is a training device that is used by students to
practice navigating and operating vessels in different geographic and weather environments.
The simulator is a fully equipped wheelhouse that uses state-of-the art computer graphics to portray
images of various maritime settings, such as Prince William Sound, on a wrap around screen. Standing
at the wheel of the bridge, the students can encounter all sorts of
"virtual situations" that they may have to deal with when they are out
at sea. The simulator can incorporate winds, high seas, ice, and other
marine traffic into any given scenario. The simulator can also be used
to practice docking procedures at various ports. AVTEC instructor Jim
Herbert said that later this year a database for Cook Inlet will be
installed on the simulator. He urged the PROPS Committee to think
about ways the simulator could be used to improve maritime safety in
the inlet. Several PROPS members, including Glen Glenzer, Paul
Shadura, and Bruce Gabrys (pictured at fight) took a mm at the wheel
of the bridge simulator during the demonstration.
********Kenai Mayor Speaks to Coastal Communities *********************
Kenai Mayor John Williams provided some historical and political perspectives on the development of
the oil and gas industry in Cook Inlet at the annual meeting of British Columbia's Coastal Communities
Network (CCN). The Vancouver B.C. meeting was attended by a wide assortment'of people interested
in economic development for communities along the coast of British Columbia. Attendees included
ministers from various provincial and federal government agencies, resource managers, fishermen,
environmentalists, planners, representatives from coastal communities and others.
Off-shore oil and gas drilling is a major topic of discussion in British Columbia and Cook Inlet RCAC
has been providing CCN with information about the role citizens groups, such as CIRCAC, can play in
the oversight of the industry. Last year, CIRCAC Science Coordinator Susan Saupe spoke at the CCN
annual meeting about the history of CIRCAC and how citizens in Alaska coastal communities
participate in the decision-making process with regards to oil-related issues. This year, CIRCAC
suggested that Kenai Mayor John Williams would be an excellent choice to talk about the political
relationship between a coastal community and the oil and gas industry. Mayor Williams accepted the
invitation from CCN and was a featured speaker at the annual meeting in Vancouver. During his
presentation, Mayor Williams spoke about the initial exploration and development of the Cook Inlet oil
fields in the 1960's and how industry continues to play a major role in the city of Kenai today. Williams
emphasized that the community has welcomed the development of the oil industry, but not to the point
of sacrificing environmental safeguards. Through a partnership with industry, Williams said the city of
Kenai has built a diverse economy based on oil and gas, along with commercial fishing, sport fishing,
and tourism.
The Mayor said he met several dignitaries at the meeting, including John Duncan, a member of
Parliament representing Vancouver, and Dave McGuigan, Chairman of the North Coast Oil and Gas
Task Force in Prince Rupert, B.C.
