Multipurpose Facility
Council, you have before you three alternatives as follows:
Construct the project as designed, bid and awarded, in which case the
Multipurpose facility will have ice in place between October 1 ~t_ April 15th as
originally planned. These dates were set based on input from the user groups and
are consistent with ice availability at the Sports Arena.
2. Adopt Ordinance No. 1921-2001 and increase the construction costs by $23,740
as discussed in Blazy Construction Proposal No. 2 (attached). This will allow for
an additional two months of ice from September 1 st_ April 30th. Due to
temperatures, this will involve higher operating costs to maintain the ice.
Multipurpose use of the facility would be limited under this proposal if the
operating policy were to be put ice into the facility in early September and not
remove it until April 30th.
3. Adopt Substitute Ordinance No. 1921-2001 and increase the construction cost by
$43,508 as described in Blazy Construction Proposal No. 1 (attached.). This
installs a heat system below the pad. It introduces additional mechanical and
maintenance concerns but does not add appreciably to operating costs beyond
those needed to generate ice. This proposal would provide for capability of year-
round ice if the facility became an enclosed ice arena.
Administration's Recommendation
The Administration recommends that we proceed with the project as presently designed,
bid and awarded. This recommendation is made for the following reasons'
Memorandum to Council
June 28, 2001
Page 2 of 2
Many user groups participated in the promotion and design of this facility. It was
sold as a multipurpose facility and gained support from the school district and
others based on shoulder season uses that were not ice related.
The time it takes to build ice and remove it during the pan of the year when ice is
not the primary use (April 15th -- October 15th) would impact the multipurpose
capabilities of the facility.
The facility as presently designed and supported by the ice community is to
provide an outdoor facility that offers cheaper ice than an indoor facility and free
ice time for public skates when not booked for hockey games or practices. Trying
to maintain ice during shoulder seasons will drive up the cost of operations and
the costs for use.
The Administration recognizes that this recommendation precludes this facility
fi'om being a year-round ice arena. If a year-round ice arena is a goal one could
be developed in the future when it is feasible. If this occurred, the present
Multipurpose Facility could continue to serve the community in the manner for
which it was promoted and designed.

DATE' June 28, 2001
SUBJECT'
Bridge Access/Frontage Water Main - 2001
Jack LaShot and I reviewed the four Engineering Design and Inspection
Professional Services proposals that were received today. All four proposals are
from qualified firms, and the engineering for this project is relatively simple.
McLane has the least amount of experience working with the City of Kenai.
However, the personnel being assigned to this project appear capable of doing a
good job. McLane also has their own surveying and soils testing personnel
where the other firms have to hire sub-consultants (except Mike Tauriainen can
perform soils testing in house).
Below is the cost breakdown for the professional engineering services
Firm
Design
Inspection
TOTAL NTE
McLane Consulting Group $11,661 $8,242 $19,903
Mike Tauriainen, P.E. $12,792 $7,164 $19,956
Wm. J. Nelson & Associates $13,980 $10,235 $24,215
Wince-Corthell-B ryson $13,105 $11,350 $24,455
Since all of the firms are qualified, Jack LaShot and I are going to recommend
the proposal with the lowest not-to-exceed cost. We recommend that the
McLane Consulting Group be awarded the professional services contract for
engineering design and inspection for this project.

RESOLUTION NO. 2001-53
A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, IN SUPPORT OF FEDERAL
FUNDING FOR A NEIGHBORHOOD HEALTH CENTER FOR THE CENTRAL KENAI
PENINSULA.
WHEREAS, Healthy Communities/Healthy People of the central peninsula is a network
of local citizens and organizations for the purpose of improving community and
ecological health and well-being; and,
WHEREAS, the Kenai Peninsula Borough has been designated a Medically Underserved
Area by Governor Tony Knowles (1997); and,
WHEREAS, affordable health care is necessary to ensure healthy people in the central
peninsula; and,
WHEREAS, neighborhood health centers ("community health centers") are funded
under Title III, Section 330 of the Public Health Service Act, and funding is available for
the establishment of new centers; and,
WHEREAS, unlike a hospital or a public health center licensed through the state,
neighborhood health centers seek to offer primary health care on a sliding-scale basis,
to encourage local citizens to get preventive on-going health care; and,
WHEREAS, neighborhood health centers work in conjunction with local providers and
hospitals to help reduce unnecessary use of the hospital emergency room and offer
referrals to local hospitals and other private health care providers for clients who need
other appropriate care; and,
WHEREAS, the Healthy Communities/Healthy People, working with Bridges
Community Resources Network, Inc. as a partner, has an excellent chance of qualifying
for start-up and continuing operatiOn funding due to the critical need in the area; and,
WHEREAS, the Council of the City of Kenai approves of the idea of neighborhood health
centers and encourages the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration to

ITEM 4:
SCHEDULED PUBLIC COMMENT
Jan Johnson -- Central Peninsula General Hospital/Input for a Possible
Geriatric Unit.
Johnson explained the hospital is investigating the upgrading of their geriatric health
care program in order to serve the senior generation and those who care for them more
wholly. Johnson asked those present for their suggestions and comments. They were
as follows:
· Better communication for older people who may have accompanied their
friends to the hospital and are awaiting news from the doctors/nurses, etc.
· Better attention to patients who may be hearing impaired and have no
family support. They are alone and frightened. If hearing impaired, write information
down that can be read by the patient. Call a Senior Center for representation.
· Have more "call" buttons available for sight-impaired patients.
· Encourage the costs of prescription drugs to'be decreased.
· Include a breakdown of prices on billings or "enlarge" the statement on
the bills that a breakdown of costs is available upon request.
· Make sure people with diabetes or other illnesses are lucid and
understand what procedures are being done when admitted.
· Have on sta/f a geriatric specialist who can determine whether a tenant
in the housing facility requires alternative living arrangements and who really
understands elder care.
· Encourage a geriatric doctor to come on staff who can make sure mixed
medications are working in harmony, appropriate elder care, etc.
· Encourage more family support through support group training sessions
with a geriatric facilitator.
Johnson noted some of the hospital's goals in this regard included providing health
and care; independence in living; and strength and function. Some services they have
available are:
· Cardiac rehabilitation (exercise classes, etc.). It was suggested there
were lots of activities available, however an effort should be made to better advertise
what activities (exercise classes, swimm/ng, etc.) are available.
· A nutritionist is on staff at the hospital and could be available for menu
advice. It was noted the Center's menus are approved by the State prior to serving.
Because the Centers do not do specialty meals, delivery could be worked out with the
Centers and hospital.
· Nail and foot care is badly needed.
· Transportation for cardiac rehabilitation is needed.
· More educational programs are needed to be held at the Center -- doctors
are not always available.
· Chore services, i.e. snow removal, lawn services, etc. are needed and
could be worked out with different service organizations. It was suggested Johnson
contact Love, Inc.
· The hospital could do the "bill help program" instead of the Center.
· The hospital could augment senior advocacy programs, i.e. family
support, elder abuse, information, etc.
· More"information is needed on the "Lifeline" billing -- what the bill is for
and for what month, etc.
Johnson requested the seniors contact her if they have additional comments or
concerns.

have a desire to develop an assisted living facility in Kenai. They feel strongly an
assisted living facility is needed in the area and feel it's a responsibility to the
community and to their friends to investigate it more closely. Domberger also
explained he has no experience in running such a facility, but was in business for
forty years and is an entrepreneur.
Domberger also explained he would run 'such a facility as a for-profit business and did
not want the aid of grants or government to develop it. He has already received
interest from others in the area to participate in the development through investments
of $100,000 each. He has no prospectus or plan at this time, just an idea and had no
specific site in mind. Domberger added, he did not envision having such a project
underway until June 1, 2002.
Porter confirmed the city was not actively looking for grants for an assisted living
facility, but is very interested in having one located within the community. She
reco~__mended Domberger speak with Mayor W/Il/ams who has stated his enthusiasm
for such a project. She also suggested he contact the Borough Planning Department
for senior population statistics.
A brief discussion followed regarding for-profit versus community elder care and how
increased costs would affect a for-profit facility. Domberger noted his primary
concerns in investigating the development of a facility were 1) help; 2) need in the
community; and 3) profit. Porter noted there was a lot of difference in what is needed
to run an assisted living facility in comparison to the congregate housing facility. She
noted, she would report on the discussion with the council. Representative Chenault
stated he would have his office investigate the possibility of grants and funding
sources through the state and/or federal government for assisted living facilities.
ITEM 5'
OLD BUSINESS
5-a. Senior Computer Lab -- Kelso reminded the members she had applied
·
for a grant for upgrading the intemet service and computer connections, etc. for the
computer lab which had been developed through donations from Phillips Petroleum,
Tesoro and the City {technical assistance). She recently received notice the application
was denied due to the Center being a department of the city and because they receive
substantial funding from United Way. It was suggested Kelso write a letter to the
telephone company and explore the funding possibility further.
ITEM 6:
I~IEW BUSIKESS
6-a. Rachael Craig IntroductiOn -- Kelso introduced Rachael Craig, the new
director and noted Rachael had 12 years of experience in different areas of senior care,

and friendly; and she looked forward to working with the seniors.

Jim Bielefeld-- Peninsula Air Fair Update
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
JUNE 20, 2001
PAGE 2
Bielefeld noted he is a member of the Airport Commission and reported a Peninsula
Air Fair was being planned for July 28 and would include a pancake breakfast in
Kenai, a poker run, and then an evening barbecue in Soldotna. The group planning
the event include members of the Kenai and Soldotna Airport Commissions, Civil Air
Patrol, and other volunteers. They are exploring possibilities of a static display and
want to make this a yearly event.
Bielefeld requested the council's approval to offer a year's free tie-down (a $320 value)
at the Kenai Airport as a match to one offered by Soldotna which will be used as a
prize for the winner of the poker run. The winner would have the choice of the tie-
down at one of the airports. He also noted additional volunteers are needed. Airport
Manager Cronkhite noted the event would be advertised heavilY in Anchorage to
encourage participation of pilots from that area.

thanked the council, administration, community volunteers and other members of the

Phase I, LLC for their participation and encouragement in developing the facility. He
added, he believed the facility demonstrated the need for and enhancement to the
community. He also noted, he believed the facility would receive a lot of community
US~.
Ress Baldwin -- Thanked the council for the wonderful support it gave to the facility
and he encouraged the facility be kept open to the public.
Peter Klauder -- Klauder & Company Architects, 455 North Forest Drive
Klauder reviewed the four alternates, i.e. a storage room, restrooms, janitor room with
heat; facade element to remove the tarp and replace it with metal siding (to keep the
sun off the ice); and paving. The base bid included the compressor room, the
refrigeration equipment, the slab, and a zamboni room. Klauder reported two bids
were received and were very competitive with their base bids within $35,000 with all
the alternates included and the bids were within $32,000.
La Shot stated he did the initial cost estimate on the project and the alternates
.reflected permanent structures to house restrooms and storage and the partial wall to
replace the tarp was added later. Williams asked, if the building were to be developed
further sometime in the future, would the partial wall be able to be incorporated in
.any addition and Klauder answered a portion of it would need to be removed if the
building is developed as designed in the master plan. However, it may be able to be
used depending on how the building is developed and when. The remainder would be
permanent. W/Il/ams stated his concern about the tarp was whether it could be used
as a windbreak during hockey season.
Ross noted the building was designed as a multipurpose facility suitable for six to
seven months of ice and asked Klauder to clarify why the building, as designed, would
not be suitable for year-around ice. Klauder explained, the direction he received from
the city was that the ice will be melted and the building used for other functions
(tennis courts, volleyball courts, indoor soccer, etc.) He added, if the facility was used
for year-around ice, heating would need to be placed under the building to prevent
permafrost ice lens from building up and damaging the slab. This would be an
additional cost and they researched the issue and made some recommendations to the
city.
Ross reiterated the building was not presently designed for year-around ice. Klauder
added there were measures that could be taken to make it year-around ice. Swarner
stated she understood ice could be available year-around if desired and asked what
months it could be available. Klauder stated he recommended adding a devise to
measure ice buildup under the rink but explained that if ice built up, the ice would
have to be interrupted in order to allow the permafrost to melt back.
KEN~ CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
JUNE 20, 2001
PAGE 4
Ross explained, from direction received from council, administration understood ice
would be manufactured from mid-October to mid-April (a six-month period) with a
possibility of shoulder either way to have ice for seven months. Information from the
architect/engineer was that would be within the range for the proposed design.
Klauder noted there would probably be a problem if ice is available for an eight-month
period. Swarner stated she didn't expect ice would be in 12 months of the year, but
understood it could .be if desired.
Ross noted the refrigeration equipment designed for the building was not designed to
keep ice year-around at the area's temperatures. Porter asked the cost for putting in
heat and Klauder answered they looked into the cost of placing the heating tubes
without the boiler system. The consultants didn't recommend doing that without
enclosing the building and if the building is not enclosed for ten years, there would be
the possibility of damage being done to the tubes during the years the heating would
not be running. However, if council wants to include the tubing so it is available for
heating in the future, it could be done though the consultants suggested doing the
whole system and not just part of it.
Bannock stated he understood it would be a multipurpose faCility as that was how it
was represented to the community. He asked for clarification about the blue tarp
replacement with the partial wall and it was explained the area that is open at this
time would remain opened and the wall would replace the tarp. Bannock stated he
believed what council was considering doing now would enhance the facility and he
would support the ordinance.
Councilman Moore asked if what was currently planned would be a slab poured, with
tubing for refrigeration only and Klauder answered yes. Moore asked if additional heat
would be required under the slab to have ice 12 months of the year. Klauder
answered, if the building is enclosed as it is designed now, the system could not go to
year-around ice without placing insulation, heating tubing, etc. Moore stated he
understood it would be a 30-year system and Klauder stated that was not being
contradicted. However, the system was not being set up for year-around use. If year-
around ice is desired, a heating system would need to be included. Moore asked if the
ice could be in for six months and melted, but put in another month during the year if
needed for hockey camp, etc. Klauder stated he would have to inquire.
Moore stated his concern that in 20 years a future council may want to enclose the
building and add heating, but would not be able to without tearing up the slab, etc.
Klauder explained that, as it was now designed, a future council could enclose the
building and have ice six or seven months, but if it is thought ice would be needed for
more than that, the heating system would need to be placed prior to pouring the slab.
La Shot stated he understood they would be able to make ice at temperatures less
than 70 degrees and suggested it could be possible to make ice for a hockey camp in
the off season, but not in the warmer part of the summer.

Moore stated he was not interested in having ice year-around, but didn't want to tie
the hands of a future council as they were making commitments now for the future
use of the building. Swarner asked ff there is a need for hockey camps and when are
they normally held. A hockey supporter from the audience answered he thought ice
should be placed from September 1 instead of worrying about holding hockey camps.
Councilman Frazer stated he understood the system would be good for having ice six
to seven months of the year and that it is a multipurpose facility. He added, the
investment in the facility with the addition of ice, without the heat, was a large
commitment to the skating community and didn't think the council should go past the
design and cost before them. Frazer stated he would support the facility as it was
designed and bid.
It was noted the sensing strings could be put in the building later and would be a
minor cost. Williams asked Klauder to get the cost for these and report back as soon
as possible. Klauder added, another alternative would be to increase the insulation
under the slab which could extend the seven months to eight and could address the
pre-hockey season or hockey camp use, etc. He added, the sensing devices were not
included in the bid.
La Shot stated he spoke with the refrigeration supplier and learned allowances had
been made to put one or two sensors in and there was no mention of additional costs.
He added, the city could pick up costs for an extra layer of insulation as the supplier
inferred the extra layer could extend operation to eight months of the year.
Williams requested the matter be brought back to council at the July 5 council
meeting, i.e. sensing device costs, additional insulation costs, etc.

Councilwoman Porter MOVED for approval of Ordinance No. 1915-2001 and
Councilman Moore SECONDED the motion.
Diane Loftstedt, 605 Main Street, Kenai-- Explained she was the owner of
Harborside Cottages and a member of the Bed & Breakfast Association. Stated she
was not completely opposed to the ordinance but felt it was a duplication of Ordinance
No. 1916-2001 as a conditional use permit is required for a bed & breakfast. Loftstedt
stated she objected to the reporting form and suggested, if a yearly report is going to
be required with tax certificate, business license, etc., it should apply to all businesses
registered in the city. She added, as far as the financial responsibility, she felt the
report is a great idea.
Williams explained council had discussed in the past the possibility of licensing all
businesses in order to track their tax compliancy, etc. but chose not do too much
regulation, licensing, etc. City Attorney Graves clarified, bed and breakfasts are a
special use and has its own section in the code. The other ordinance refers to all other
conditional uses.
Loftstedt stated she agreed with the intent to keep businesses in compliance with tax
and licensing but felt the report would be unnecessary for the operators and the
council on an annual basis. Discussion followed regarding the information on the
draft reporting form. Ms. Kebschull of the Planing & Zoning Department explained
the reporting would help the city be up to date with businesses who were active and
inactive and the tax and license compliance would be important to the city financially.
Discussion followed as to what information is needed on the report and it was noted it
was a draft and could be adjusted, however the form was based on the ordinance and
if it is changed, the ordinance would require the same changes. Williams suggested
administration work with the bed & breakfast group for a way to gather the necessary
information.
Bannock suggested an amendment be made to the ordinance to change "official" to
"Commission" or "concurrence with Planning & Zoning." Swarner suggested there be
an appeal process included and it was noted KMC 14.20.290 would cover that area.
Williams agreed with Bannock's proposed changes. Frazer agreed he would prefer the
Commission have the ability to revoke a license and Porter stated she felt the
ordinance would allow a way to know if permits are active and if sales tax is being
collected.
City Attorney Graves suggested the following amendments could be made to coincide
with what was discussed:
· Item 14.20.321(f), first line -- change "administrative official" to
"Commission."
Item 14.20.321 (f), seventh line, mid-sentence -- change "official" to
"Commission."
KENAI CITY COUNCIL ME~ING MINUTES

· Item 14.20.321(f), seventh line, end of line -- change "official" to
"Commission."
· Item 14.20.321(f), tenth line-- remove "of the administrative official" in
order for the sentence to read, "Appeals from decisions under this section..."
MOTION TO AMEND:
Councilman Bannock MOVED to make the changes as recommended by the city
attorney and Councilman Frazer SECONDED the motion.
Moore stated he would not support the ordinance as he believed the ordinance singled
out bed & breatdasts and conditional use permittees. He stated he would support it if
the ordinance was directed at all businesses in the city being in compliance.
Council_m_an Bookey stated he agreed with Moore and would not support the
amendment. Wi!l/ams stated he would support the ordinance, however questioned
who should have the authority to revoke a permit for which a discussion followed.
Bannock noted, because there was no authority fOr anyone to revoke a permit in the
zoning code at this time, the ordinance was not removing authority from anyone, but
designating the Commission to do it.

H-8o
Approval-- Approval of Capital Project -- Water Lines in Support of FAA
Tract; Tract C, Daubenspeck; and BOR Restricted Airport Lands Tract.
Mayor Williams requested Item H-8 be moved forward to be heard at this time on the
agenda and council had no objections.
Ross referred to the memorandum included in the packet and explained the project
would extend water to the above properties and how the cost of the project would be
divided between Airport Lands and General Fund (not using the Water/Sewer Fund
because the appraisal on the General Fund lands would reflect the improvement).
In looking at a situation with AIH Hardware's water flow problems at their new
location, it became apparent that as the city acquires the FAA properties, etc.,
hydrants would be needed on the perimeter on its properties to make them useable.
The hydrant placements would solve the problem with AIH and a/so potential
commercial development of the properties on the south side of the Bridge Access Road.
Ross explained, administration was requesting approval of the project as a capital
project to be out to bid and to construction by the fall. This would also give an
indication to AIH of whether they are on the right track with their building plan or if
they have to redesign to meet flow requirements. He added, he didn't think the city
would be premature on the project as he felt the BOR restrictions would be released
and the FAA parcel is to be transferred to the city this summer. Ross added, he
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
JUNE 20, 2001

believed it would be an appropriate time to do the project in order to be ready for
marketing of the property in the spring, if council desires.
Ross also reported, notification had been received that Alaska EDA is promoting the
grant Ms. Kebschull fried to bring the parcels into the planning process.

Swamer stated she was concerned because it is an airport lands and suggested they
go to the Airport Commission for review prior to being brought to council for
consideration. She noted she had concerns about more non-functioning vehicles
parked in the downtown core area. Ross Stated 'administration didn't have a strong
objection to sending assignments of leases, etc. to the Commission but in doing that,
because the Commission meets only once a month, the process would be slowed
which would impact the people involved. He added, if a lease is approved, he was not
sure why a sublease would have to go to the Commission.
Swarner questioned the length of time needed to remove junk vehicles from a lot upon
the city's notice. Ross answered, if the business involved repairing vehicles, what may
seem to be junk vehicles to one could be considered valuable parts to the owner of the
business. Administration tries to make sure the vehicles stay out of sight as much as
possible, but in this case, the applicant would be coming into compliance.

multipurpose facility. Funding for such an event may be requested during the next
budget cycle.
· Referring to information added to the agenda regarding the

Hospital, it was noted a representative from the city was being asked to assist the
group with the plan. Council was asked if any were interested in attending the

city, based on development of the master plan for the hospital, construction of the new
Public Health Facilities, development of community health services, ancillary hospital
services, veteran's clinic, Kenaitze Indian Tribe clinic, Community Health Care
Services, etc. The city is in the position to help the medical service growth in the
community, which would be another reason for people to move into the city. Adding
another city committee/commission was suggested to get involved in the discussion.
Council members were asked to talk to people in the community and the health
groups so the matter could be discussed further at the next council meeting.
I-2. City Maaager -- City Manager Ross reported the following:

Enclosed please find the Community Strategic Plan Guide and Form and the Alaska
Directory for Rural Resources. These are two community development tools designed to
help you manage and direct change in your community. They are the result of a
cooperative effort between the Denali Commission, the Alaska Humanities Forum and
USDA Rural Development.
The intent of the plan and guide is to provide rural communities with the tools to define
and pursue a value based community plan and to ensure funding entities have access to
what the community defines as important. Most federal and state funding agencies have
agreed to support and use a community strategic plan. For example, the Denali
Commission and USDA Rural Development and many state agencies will provide
priority points in their funding process to those communities who have an updated
community plan. The Directory is designed to help communities link up with the
resources once they define what they need. It includes a simple inquiry sheet that
communities may use to contact potential funding entities.
Together these tools shift information to a local level so that communities can more
easily pursue local control and ownership in community development. The Community
Strategic Plan Guide and Form and the Alaska Directory for Rural Resources are the
result of a year and a half collaboration between rural communities, funding agencies,
profits and nonprofit entities, tribal planners, the University of Alaska, as well as many
state and federal agencies.
We want to thank those who reviewed the draft documents and contributed comments. In
all, more than 250 public comments were woven into the documents. We hope that these
tools are useful and that they support you in local decision-making and long-term
sustainable community development.

Miscellaneous Updates
Aimort Terminal Tile
$25,000 (approximately two times the architect's estimate) has been withheld pending
replacement of the tile in the south end of the terminal. The date for replacement of tile is still
under discussion.
ARFF/SRE
An additional appropriation for architectural design services is under negotiation. The FAA
approved a larger main building; a separate equipment interchange/generator building; and a fuel
system that was beyond the scope of the original design contract award. These items were all
included in the bid award and construction appropriation. The architectural firm and engineers
did have more design work than was envisioned in their original contract. Once an amount
agreed to for funding by FAA is negotiated, it will be brought to Council for approval under the
funding formula used on FAA financed projects.
EDA Grant
EDA has advised that Ms. Kebschull's grant for $20,000 for planning of the
Daubenspeck/FAA/BOR restricted parcel has been approved and is being processed. She will be
working this into the comprehensive planning process.
Code Enforcement Issues
Code enforcement involving sign code, abatement issues that are not safety related, and other
minor code enforcement issues will be slower than in the past. It is a matter of priority. The
Building Official is experiencing a significant increase in building permit requests - a 34%
increase over this time last year. His priority is to conduct timely plan reviews, issue permits,

and assure that a timely inspection schedule is maintained so as to not adversely affect
contractors and owners. The Planner, in addition to keeping up with the Planning and Zoning
Commission and citizen initiated land use requests, has a major responsibility to make sure the
comprehensive planning process gets off on a proper start. The part-time position in this
department has turned over and a replacement is being sought.
City Manager Transition
During the period July 1 ~t_ 15th, Mr. Semmens will be performing many of the routine City
Manager duties (see attached memo to Mr. Semmens). I will remain accountable to you on all
issues. During this period I will be out of the office July 10 - 12th, but will be here on the 13th
for final details. Ms. Howard is doing an excellent job on putting together transition issues. Ms.
Snow and I have scheduled several meetings between the 18th and 30th of July to discuss projects,
meet with agencies, and address current issues of conceTM. We will have additional meetings as
necessary.

KRSMA BOard and Kenai Chamber Board of Directors
By virtue of my position as City Manager and as appointed by Council, I have served as
the City's liaison to the Kenai Chamber Board of Directors. This service has been as a
non-voting director acting as liaison from the City of Kenai. With my termination of
employment, a 'new appointment should be made by the Council.
The City of Kenai is also entitled to a member on the KRSMA Board. This position is
filled based on appointment by the Commissioner of Department of Natural Resources
with the person recommended by the Kenai City Council. This can be an elected official
or an appointed official of the municipality. Both Kenai and Soldotna have had at one
time both types of officials on the Board. Because of Kenai's strong interests on many of
the issues before KRSMA, it would be my recommendation that if the position is to be
filled by an appointed official that it should be the City Manager.

Police Department FY02 Authorized New Position
The Police Department has recently been notified that the law enforcement grant that
would have partially funded a police position over the next three years will not be
approved. The FY02 budget authorized the hire of an additional officer because of the
increasing workload of the department and the corresponding reduction in patrol hours.
Reduced police visibility, traffic enforcement capability, and time available for the
handling of minor complaints has been a problem over the last few years noted by the
public.
The FY02 budget was prepared based on existing personnel. Subsequent to the
preparation of the budget, three positions turned over. The cost savings from the salary
levels of these positions versus their replacements will more than offset the revenue loss
from the proposed grant. This does not include the savings from position vacancies prior
to their being filled. Because of this, and the fact Council authorized the position based
on the justified need for it, the Police Department has been authorized to fill the position.

Re: Patrol Officer Position
You asked for an analysis of the impact of hiring an additional patrol offiCer as
approved in the budget, taking into consideration the fact that grant funds of
$35,000 will not be available. The police department payroll budget was built
on existing staff at the time. Three positions have become vacant since then.
The replacement patrol officer's payroll expenditures will be $45,000 less than
the budget.
Therefore, even though grant funds are not available, the savings in police
department payroll will more than offset the revenue short~ll.

Fax (907) 283-2267
We have been advised by the Department of Justice that the Universal Hire Program (U.H.P.)
grant we expected to use to partially fund the additional police position will not be accepting any
new applications.
The Police Departmem still has need for the officer as outlined in my January 9, 200 l
memorandum. In summary we have experienced an 8% increase in calls-for-service in 2001
compared to this same period in 2000, and a 17% increase as compared to 1999.
In 1989 the Police Department had the same number of sworn personnel (15) as we do today. At
the current call level we will handle 2000 more service requests this year then we did ia 1989
(Note' the 16t~ officer position was added in July 1989 and reduced back to 15 in July 1997).
As I explained in the January 8, 2001 memo, the workload has shifted from traffic enforcement
to investigation responsibilities (reactive versus proactive). With the additional position I would
expect the following results:
1. Increased traffic enforcement.
2. Increased drug enforcemem.
3. Increased crime prevention
4. Maintain quality of investigations.
After the FY02 budget was submitted the Police Departmem had one retirement, one transfer to
the Fire Department and one resignation. The difference between the salaries of those three
employees and three new employees will offset the lost revenue from the grant. No additional
funds would have to be appropriated to the FY02 budget to fall this position.

OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR
I am pleased to enclose a brochure explaining the Count Question Resolution (CQR)
Program. The U.S. Census Bureau will implement the CQR Program to respond to challenges
to the official Census 2000 housing units and group quarters population counts received
from state, local, or tribal officials of governmental entities or their designated
representatives in the United States and Puerto Rico. The Program will become effective on
June 30, 2001, and will end September 30, 2003. The brochure describes the documentation
necessary to initiate the Census 2000 CQR process and the types of corrections that may be
incorporated as a result of the Census 2000 CQR Program.
Governmental units challenging the completeness or accuracy of the Census 2000 counts
must contact the Census Bureau directly in writing or by e-mail to initiate the CQR process.
(See the enclosed addresses). The Census Bureau will respond to all questions and will
notify all affected governmental entities of any corrections to their official counts as a
result of a Census Bureau review, based on a CQR challenge. Summary File 1 (SF-1) and other
data products from Census 2000 can be accessed via the Internet <www. census.gov>, as they
become available. You may also call our Customer Service Center at (301) 457-4100 to order
Census 2000 data products.
The CQR start date of June 30, 2001, is coordinated with the release of the SF-I. Between
june and September 200i, SF-1 data will be released on a state-by-state basis and will
contain block-level data on the number of housing units and group quarters population
counts. SF-1 is the information source necessary to challenge housing unit counts or group
quarters population counts.
The CQR Program is not intended to create a process to challenge the March 6, 2001,
decision of the Secretary of Commerce to release unadjusted Census 2000 redistricting data.
No changes will be made to the apportionment or redistricting counts as a result of this
program. If a challenge is successful, the revised population and/or housing unit counts
may be used by federal and state agencies when program funds are disbursed based on
Census 2000 data. The Census Bureau will provide corrected counts to federal and/or state
officials as appropriate.
A more detailed description of the CQR Program is available on the Census Bureau's Web site
at <www. census.gov/dmd/www/CQR, htm>.
