The KPB Code (as now written) requires that the Commission consist of 1 member from each first class or home rule city of the borough and that the number of members from areas in the Borough outside first class cities comply with the required apportionment. There is no requirement that those representing areas outside first class and home rule cities come from any specific area of the borough. KETCHIKAN GATEWAY BOROUGH . Planning Commission consists of 7 members~ Four members must reside within the City of Ketchikan and 3 members must reside outside the corporate limits of the City of Ketchikan. KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH Planning Commission consists of 7 members. KIB Code requires that Commission membership be apportioned-so that the number of members from first class cities within the BoroUgh reflects the proportion of borough population residing within those cities. KIB Code ft~her requires that Commission membership be reapportioned according to the fluctuation of population within the Borough and its first class cities by resolution of the assembly at the expiration of the terms of commission members. FAIRBANKS 'NORTH STAR BOROUGH Planning Commission consists of 11 members. Commission membership is apportioned so that the number of members from the cities of Fairbanks and North Pole reflects the proportion of the borough population residing within those cities as determined by the Assembly from time to time. MAT-SU BOROUGH The Planning Commission consists of 7 members. Commission membership is apportioned so that the number of members fi'om Home Rule and First Class cities reflects the borough population residing in Home Rule and First Class cities located in the borough. The Mat-Su Borough Code also requires that representation from as many assembly districts as is feasible must be sought on the Commission, but all commission members must be appointed for their expertise and knowledge of the community and must represent the entire borough. Anchorage, Juneau and Sitka are unified municipalities, so have no home role or first class cities to consider in commission appointments. The Boroughs noted above are those most like the Kenai Peninsula Borough in that they have one or more home role or first class city within their boundaries. NAI I::IBNINSUI,.A BOROUGH 144 N.

If this requires increasing the size of the Planning Commission. to meet the-ratios of city to non-city representation under Alaska statutes, then City Council. supp. orts that increase. · Currently th~ fly~ s~ats allocated for cities are divided with on~ seat for each first class or home 'ritl~ city. This works very well and thoro arc.no-difficulties in lotting each. city havo a rcprcscntatiw. But, ifth~ number is reduced to four scats for'cities, there is no specified method of choosing which city docs not get a representative or that prcv~m mom than on~ from thc same city. Tho coUncil and I feel that main__tai~ing thc current five 'scats avoids these problems. W'~ also feel it is necessary to main_tai'n a strong city presence on thc Commission as a significant portion of thc out of city population resides in very close proximity to thc cities and activities in those areas can have' dramatic effects on thc cities.

Attached is a conceptual drawing for a concession stand to serve this facility. Peter Klauder, owner of Klauder and Company Architects, generously donated the architectural work. It is our desire to work with other local businesses to construct this facility for the community. The concession stand would then be available to any group renting ice at the Multi-Purpose Facility for a small fee payable to the City of Kenai to cover utility costs. We would appreciate the City Council's endorsement of our efforts. This is not a request for financial support. The concession stand is being constructed through donations and volunteer efforts to benefit all users of the facility. We are requesting permission from the Kenai City Council to continue working on this project under the guidance of the City's Administration.

I am requesting the increased hours to provide time for coordination of monthly planned activities, shared coordination with administrative assistant and director, to build our volunteer program to be more structured, to continue encouraging our seniors to volunteer, and to provide more direct one on one assistance where needed. The position would encourage and canvas more community volunteers to participate and t° devise opportunities for "baby boomers" to not only volunteer but as they age, to participate. This program will provide orientation training, as well as create "volunteer job descriptions," and a better system to track volunteer hours which could be reflected when appiying for center grants.

[;"[ 'd 9,'iLL' ON Billie Dailey 190 West Park Avenue Soldotna, AK 99669 Ms. Dailey telephoned this afternoon and stated she would not be able to attend the meeting tonight to give her comments in regard to Resolution No. 2001-71. She requested the following information be forwarded to you. She is opposed to the privatizati°n of prisons, hospitals, post office, manufacturing where everything is done for profit. When everything is done for profit, everything tums to crap. The Bible says, "What profited a man to gain the whole world or lose his soul? She added, the question is not about jobs on the Peninsula, but about making a profit for a corporation. There are more prisoners in the state of California than the nations of France, Germany, Great Britain, Japan, Singapore, and the Netherlands. The prison is a unique social experiment treating social ills by caging people (drug addiction and possession, small time dealing, petty theft, violent pathologies and violent crime).

SCHEDULED PUBLIC COMMENTS ,, B-Xo Don G!!m__an, Concerned Citizens for Responsible Economic Development -- Economic Feasibility of Proposed Prison Project. Don Gilman-- P.O. Box 2941, Kenai; 43029 Morning Circle, Kenai. the following: Gilman explained KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 5, 2001 PAGE 2 Gilman gave a short history of the economic downscales and efforts to find new businesses for the area over the past 30 years, noting after the passage of ANCSA the city, borough and state supported the efforts of the Kenai Natives Association, Inc. to acquire the Wildwood Facility as a portion of their settlement; that there had been discussion of developing a prison at the Wildwood facility since the 70's; due to lack of prison beds, the State had been sending prisoners out of state since 1975; and the Court had directed the State of Alaska to develop facilities in the state in order to bring prisoners now incarcerated in prisons outside of Alaska, back to Alaska. Gilman noted the Borough Assembly had placed a proposition on the October ballot asking if the borough may proceed in the development of and financing for a private · prison. Questions of feasibility, costs, etc. had been asked, however the answers were not yet known. He added, a study was requested, but had not yet been done and wouldn't be done if the vote is no. Gilman requested council to keep an open mind about the project, however he did not know if the council wanted to make a statement, but the city and the community always took the lead in trying to fill a.void. He added, that without diversification, the community would remain dependent on the price of oil. Gilman added, with a "no" vote, the borough wouldn't have anything more to do with the project, however the project would be developed by someone else in the State. A lengthy discussion followed where it was noted: · The Department of Corrections stated they will return prisoners to Alaska, however no specific date had been set. · Positive issues of having the prison in the community were stated to be: (1) over the next 25 years, $500 million would come into the area economy through wages, purchases, property taxes, etc.; (2) spin-off of that income would go throughout 'the Borough; and (3) diversification of the economy. · No study would be done until after the vote to learn what impacts could be expected to area non-profits, i.e. Boys & Girls Club, Food Bank, etc. Funds to produce a feasibility study were authorized by the borough and a study would be done if the vote is "yes." · The Borough Assembly would, after the October 2001 vote is taken and if the answer is "yes," decide whether another vote would be taken in regard to proceeding with the project. · If an agreement is not signed by the state to proceed with private prison development, the next Legislature could change the direction of what types of prisons would be developed, however the court would still demand the prisoners be brought back to Alaska. After a feasibility stUdy and engineering is completed and the costs of the project is understood, a change from private to public probably wouldn't be done without a summary review process completed. The management company would be hired by the State but still at the direction of the Department of Corrections, and if after a review, a change could be made of the management company. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 5,2001 PAGE 3 Gilman stated he believed it was important the council make a statement in regard to the project. Williams noted his concerns as: · There had been a lack of information in regard to the project. · It is not certain if the facility would be for 800 or 1,000 beds. · What the impacts would be to the City of Kenai if the vote is "yes." · After an impact statement is completed and if the vote is "yes," the voters should have another opportunity to vote on whether to proceed after review of the impact information. · No major meetings had taken place between the city and borough as to impacts to the City, i.e. mechanical, utility services, road services, police department, administration, etc. Bookey stated it was very hard for him to decide on the project because of the points Williams made in regard to lack of impact information. He added, he was aware development of the prison would be good for economic development, but also was aware there would be impacts to the community as well. Bookey stated he thought it was now in the voters' hands and should be left to them. If the voters say yes, he would support them and visa versa. Moore stated he didn't think there was any way the project could be done without the city's cooperation. Gilman agreed there would be impact to the city, i.e. activity at the airport, people on the street, businesses reopened, etc. Gilman added, he couldn't answer the question because he was not aware of what the utility requirements would be, if they could have their own water system and treatment facility, etc., however it wasn't beyond the realm of possibility that a stand-alone facility could be built. Williams stated that even if a stand-alone facility were to be.butt, the project itself would still have impacts to the city in regard to police, fire, road service, etc. and the question of handling cost impacts to those concerns would still be unanswered. Williams noted the city had similar concerns when the oil companies moved into the area. Williams added, if the vote is "yes," the city could cope, but the city should have the opportunity to know what the _impacts would be. Tim Navarre, Assembly President -- Pledged there was never a doubt the Borough would not work with the city and request input. He noted, a citizen petition requested a feasibility study to be done. Navarre stated he didn't want a vote taken at this time because of the lack of information, but the Assembly was put in a position that a vote was needed to be taken. The borough also backed away from a feasibility study because only one propose was received and they felt it was better to wait. Navarre added, a "yes" vote would allow the Assembly to continue to work toward the development. He added, the Assembly's actions to date protected the borough and the city and the borough would work with the city during the whole project. Navarre KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 5,2001 PAGE 4 stated, it was imperative for the success of the borough for the cities of the borough to be successful as well. Navarre continued, after the vote it would be up to the Assembly to get the answers, the feasibility study, speak with the cities affected, and make the best decisions for everyone. He added, the borough had been proactive in making sure the project would not end up somewhere else out of the borough. Williams noted the council had not said no. Navarre stated the assembly had said yes to move forward with the project and he felt that was what the council needed to do. Williams noted council had hoped to meet with Department of Corrections Commissioner Pugh prior to the vote being taken to better understand the impacts of the project. Navarre noted the meeting with the Commissioner had been canceled but would be held in the next week and he would make sure the city would be invited. Navarre noted there were others on the Peninsula who wanted the council to determine their opinion of the project in order to better determine how they would want to vote. City Manager Snow reported that during a staff meeting earlier in the week, a roundtable discussion was held in regard to feelings of impacts to the city. She noted she could prepare a written report for council for their review. ' Williams suggested council meet for a work session on September 12 for the sole purpose of discussing the prison and whether or not the council should entertain the writing of a resolution of any sort for consideration at the regular council meeting on September 19. Prior to the meeting, the city administration was asked to meet with members of the borough staff, Comell representatives, etc. and then prepare a report of what would be considered as impacts to the city for review by council. Swamer requested the council's work session be coordinated with the borough's meeting with Commissioner Pugh and Navarre stated he would try to arrange it. Snow stated she would meet with the representatives and prepare a report of what the staff think would be the impacts to the city. Council set a work session for 7'00 p.m., Wednesday, September 12 in the council chambers. BREAK TAKEN: 8:20 P.M. BACK TO ORDER: 8:40 P.M.

Councilwoman Swarner MOVED for adoption of Ordinance No. 1927-2001 and Councilwoman Porter SECONDED the motion. Debbie Sonberg -- 410 Cinderella Lane, Kenai. Referred to her letter included in the packet and noted there were a number of people who signed the letter (and another which was turned into the Clerk prior to the meeting), and were requesting council to withhold three parcels for future development of neighborhood parks (Lot 1, Block 1, Sprucewood Glen, Lot 6, Block 2, Sprucewood Glen and Lot 2, Block 1, Kaknu Komers). She requested council remove the parcels and allow her time to pursue KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 5,2001 PAGE 6 ideas they had for park development. The letter noted the properties were not large enough for playground equipment and parking, but could be used for a playground recreational area to serve 15-30 families in their immediate areas. Bookey stated he had concerns with the two parcels in Sprucewood Glen due to their being comer lots and because traffic on the road could be a danger to children who would be using the park. He added, he would prefer those lots be sold and put back into the private sector. He had no objection to withholding the Kaknu Korners Subdivision property. Williams noted he spoke with many owners of property in the vicinity of the Kaknu Komers property and they all agreed they would like to reserve the property for a park. He noted, he suggested the property owners could take on neighborhood participation with maintenance and development of a park and fence in the area. It was decided to review the properties individually. Lot 2~ Block 17~ Old Town Kenai, 807 Peninsula Avenue Porter requested this property be removed from the list because both the Parks & · Recreation and Planning & Zoning Commissions recommended its removal in order to enlarge the existing park adjacent to the property. It was noted there was a burned out trailer on the property and ff the property were removed from the list, the city would have to abate the property at an estimated cost of $5,000. City Manager Snow noted borough taxes of $1,800 would also have to be paid by the city. Finance Director Semmens added, the assessed value of the lot was set at $16,000. Snow also referred to a letter included in the packet from George Nyce. l~I~k S¢h~ag -- Reported he is the manager of the apartments next door to the property. He noted the owner of the apartments (Nyce) was interested in purchasing the property to use it for a place to push their snow in the winter as well as a buffer zone between the properties. He suggested the property could be split between the city and Nyce and they would be willing to do some of the abatement. Bookey stated he believed the park was large enough and he preferred the property be put back into the private sector for development. Referring to Schrag's suggestion of splitting the property, Williams suggested that could be viable, as well as vacating the right-of-way easement along the property, and then join the city's portion of the property to the current park. Graves explained, under the Statutes, the city could retain the property for public purpose, but not keep it and sell it to someone else without it going to public sale. Bannock stated he would support the sale. Swamer suggested withholding the property, abate it and then lease it back to Nyce for his use of snow storage. Graves noted there could be a problem in withholding it with the intent of leasing. Williams KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 5,2001 PAGE 7 stated he would like the fence moved, if necessary, to its proper location, vacate the right-of-way, and sell the property. This property was not withheld. Government Lot 128, 1207 Second Avenue and Lot 120B, American Subdivision, 1309 Kaknu These properties were not withheld. Lot 2, Block 1, Kaknu Komers Subdivision, 306 Kulila Place MOTION TO AMEND: Councilwoman Swamer MOVED to pull Parcel 4513025 from the sale parcel list and hold it for public use. Councilman Bookey SECONDED the motion. Semmens reported $1,500 in back taxes owed on the property and the assessed value was $9,700. VOTE ON THE AMENDMENT: There were no objections. SO ORDERED. LOt 1, Block 1, Sprucewood Glen Subdivision and Lot 6, block 2, Sprucewood Glen Subdivision It was noted the assessed value of the properties was $13,000 each. Bookey stated he wanted the property to be remain on the list for sale. He added, he agreed with the concept of neighborhood recreational areas discussed by Sonberg, but because they are comer lots, they were highly developable. Swamer noted, developing the lots as parks would enlarge the Parks & Recreation budget for care and maintenance and did not want the properties to be removed. Sonberg noted she had learned of a state matching grant for parks in which in-kind contributions could be materials and labor and the lots were chosen because of the neighbors' desire for a park. It was noted that if the property is not sold, the properties would be re-offered in future sales until the properties are sold. They could not be negotiated sales because they were foreclosed properties. Bannock suggested that if the properties are not sold, there was the possibility they could be seeded and maintained without the city's involvement. Semmens noted there were outstanding assessments on the properties as well. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 5,2001 PAGE 8 These properties were not withheld. Lot 35~ Redoubt Terrace, Addition #4, 1531 Stellar Drive This property was not withheld. Lot 1~ Lot 2, and Lot 3, Russel Subdivision, 411,409 and 407 Eadie's Waft Discussion followed in which it was noted the assessed value of the properties was $11,200 each and taxes and assessments were owed on the properties. Williams suggested the properties could be donated to Habitat for Humanities, however the assessments owed were $16,600, $12,400 and $12,400 respectively. Semmens stated the city had the ability to set a minimum bid at less than what is owed and it was administration's plan to set the minimum bid at 40-50% of the assessed value and then use what is received for paying back taxes and assessments. There was council consensus to leave the lots on the sale list and if there is no purchase, then consider donating the properties to Habitat for Humanity. Lots 21 and .23~ Block 3, VIP Ranch Estates, Part 5~ 930 and 950 Baleen Avenue These properties were not withheld. Lot 34~ Block 7~ Valhalla Heights Sub., Part 3~ 4210 Dogwood This property was not withheld. Lot 2, Block 15, Arl F. Ahlstrom Subdivision, 1111 Gerdine Way This property was not withheld. VOTE ON MAiN AMENDED MOTION: Moore: Yes Porter: Williams' Yes Bookey: Yes Yes Bannock: Swarner: Yes Yes MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. C-4. Ordinance No. 1929-2001 -- Amending the Requirements in KMC 9.10 Regarding Collection and Disposal of Garbage/Refuse in the City of Kenai. MOTION: KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 5,2001 PAGE 9 Councilwoman Swarner MOVED for adoption of Ordinance No. 1929-2001 and Councilwoman Porter SECONDED the motion. There were no public comments. Attorney Graves explained the amendment of this portion of the code was being done as a continuation of the policy to update portions of the code. As written, the code requires residents of the city to use commercial garbage/refuse services, and because many residents deposit their garbage at the local transfer site, the ordinance couldn't be enforced. . It was noted administration would be increasing enforcement efforts and though most of the code is complaint driven and there are never enough resources to enforce every area of the code, if administration sees violations, enforcement will be applied.

VOTE: Moore: Yes Williams' Yes Porter: Yes Booke¥: Yes Bannock: Swarner: Yes Yes MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. C-6. Resolution No. 2001-62 -- Supporting the State Department of Natural Resources Purchase of Property Identified as Tract 1, Horseshoe End at River Bend Subdivision, Kenai, Alaska For Development of a Boat Launch Access Facility for the Lower Kenai River. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 5,2001 PAGE 10 MOTION: Councilwoman Swarner MOVED for adoption of Resolution No. 2001-62 and Councilwoman Porter SECONDED the motion. There were no public comments. Williams reported that during the week he had discussions with state legislators and agencies regarding the development of a boat ramp. Although the Legislature appropriated $350,000 for the purchase of the property referred to in the resolution, the sale Price of the property would be much more and it was doubtful additional funding would be received from the Legislature. He added, the agencies would prefer using the Wild Rose properties and was informed the Legislator suggesting the appropriation would support changing the designation of the property. He also noted council heard from citizens of the community those properties would not be appropriate for a ramp. It was also suggested to him that a ramp could be built in conjunction with the new turnout and viewing area downstream of the bridge and that property is owned by the state and there was the possibility the city could team with them and have the funding re-appropriated for development of the ramp. Williams stated it was his very strong feeling that if the properties indicated on the resolution (Tract 1, Horseshoe End at River Bend Subdivision), it could not be purchased, it won't be approved for use by the agencies, and the property would end in state ownership and undeveloped. He recommended dropping the resolution and request administration to meet with agency representatives and discuss the potential of building the ramp in conjunction with the development of the parking area/turnout downriver of the bridge and request reassignment of the funds for the development of the boat ramp (instead of purchase of property). Bookey agreed the lower portion of the river was the logical place for the ramp and hoped the funding could be re-appropriated. He noted his concern of losing the project completely and asked Wi!l/ams if there was some support of making this change. Williams answered there was no indication from state agencies the change would work. Wi!l/ams suggested the funding could remain available until it is called back, generally two years. He added, he thought it would remain for a year and in the meantime, a request could be made to re-appropriate the funds during the next session if the agencies agreed it would be a good idea to make it a part of the Birch Island project (redevelopment of the parking lot/turnout and wildlife platform). Swarner stated she had been approached by the owner of the private boat launch in the city who was concerned about the development of another boat launch in the city. She requested those owners be notified of the city's plans. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 5,2001 PAGE 11 MOTION TO TABLE: Councilwoman Porter MOVED to table Resolution No. 2001-62 and Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. Co7o Resolution No. 2001-63 -- Supporting Conveyance of a Conservation Easement on the Kenai River Flats to the State of Alaska for Management by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game; Construction of a Boardwalk and Wildlife Viewing Platform Adjacent to Boat Launch Road; and Construction of a New Access Road to the City of Kenai Boating Facility. MOTION: Councilman Bookey MOVED for approval of Resolution No. 2001-63 and Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion. BREAK TAKEN: 9:40 P.M. BACK TO ORDER: 9:50 P.M. Snow reviewed the resolution with council, noting the three parts to the resolution: 1. The conveyance of the conservation easement on the Kenai River Flats and purchased by the State of Alaska at fair market value. 2. Once purchased, there would then be a boardwalk and wildlife viewing platform constructed adjacent to Boat Launch Road (butt with grant funds from the Exxon Valdez Trust Fund). 3. Construction of a new access road to the city's boating facility. She noted the State of Alaska needed some evidence of support for the conveyance and the boardwalk/wildlife viewing platform construction. Council reviewed maps included in the packet indicating the properties to be traded, areas where the platform and road would be constructed, etc. Concerns discussed were' 1. Whether consideration had been given to the 700 lb. gas line that crosses the proposed easement. Snow answered yes and it was included in the resolution. 2. That the city would be giving the state total control of the property and whether consideration was given to a reversionary clause if the property changed in future and was no longer considered wetlands (through an earthquake, etc.). Snow noted, a clause to that effect could be included in the proposed easement. 3. Could the boat ramp be combined with the trade involving Birch Island. Snow indicated they were two different issues and agencies, i.e. Birch Island KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 5,2001 PAGE 12 properties were being used as replacement lands for the BOR restriction removal working with the DNR, Parks Division, and the conservation easement was being worked through Fish & Game. Concern was stated the city may be giving away too much property and directed administration to discuss the possibility of combining the efforts of the three projects, i.e. Birch Island, Conservation Easement (with wildlife viewing platform and dock access road) and Boat Ramp in order that less of the city's property would be traded away. Barry Eldridge, Harbor Commission Member-- 2679 Bowpicker Lane. Eldridge gave background of the Commission's past discussions in regard to their interest in developing the described land for several different projects, i.e. boardwalks for bird viewing on the fiats, boat ramp on the lower fiver, and need for an additional road to the dock to alleviate traffic during dip net season. Swamer noted wildlife viewing is considered eco-tourism and economic development and should be considered as well. Bookey stated he would like Administration to discuss widening the 50 foot easement on the west side of the highway to 100 feet. He noted, when the eaSement is granted, the city would never get the property back. Porter suggested the possibility of using only the lower portion (the flats) for trading and the city hold on to the other properties (Parcel Nos. 04945004 and 0494005). It was also suggested to have a boat launch ramp in the area of the existing turn-off, viewing area just off the Warren Ames Bridge. Snow was requested to discuss the concepts as mentioned with DNR and Fish & Game and then take the matter to the Harbor Commission and then back to council. MOTION TO TABLE: Councilwoman Swarner MOVED to table the motion to a time uncertain and Councilman Bookey SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. C-8o Resolution No. 2001-64-- Awarding the Bid to Best Transit Mix for 8,000 Cubic Yards of Street Maintenance Sand for the Total Amount of $51,920.

Introduced by consent agenda. H-a. Approval -- Lease Application/Lot 4, Block 5, Cook Inlet Industrial Air Park & Adjacent Right-of-Way/James B. Olson, d/b/a Jim's Towing and Autobody. Snow referred to a memorandum included in the packet which explained the location of the property and the applicant, James B. Olson, would be using it to store vehicles, the property's prior use. Snow also reported it was important to note the city would be doing some cleanup on the property which predated the prior lessee. It was also noted the Planning & Zoning Commission reviewed the lease and had no objections. Snow explained the code requires an eight-foot fence to screen the use however the current fence was less than eight feet. She continued, if the current fence would. become in disrepair and a building permit were required to replace it, the city would not be able to issue one because the fence is situated in the right of way. Attorney Graves explained the gate of the fence was on the fight of way and blocks it if closed. He added, a permanent part of the fence would not be built across the right of way. The right of way is used by the city to enter into the city shop and had been part of the usage of the yard for a very long time. Williams stated his concern that if the property is ever returned to the city, who would be required to clean the property. Graves explained, because there had not been many users of the property, the chain of possession would lead back to the city and the Air Force. MOTION: Councilman Bookey MOVED to approve the application as presented and Councilman Bannock SECONDED the motion and requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. H-9 o Approval-- Consent to Assignment for Security/Blue Mountain Ventures, Inc. to First National Bank of Anchorage/Lots 7 & 8, Block 1, FBO Subdivision.

Snow requested council to give direction as to whether an Invitation to Bid should be issued for a travel agency concession in the airport and whether to change the current 12-month Special Use Permit to a five-year exclusive lease. During their discussion, council learned the restaurant, bar and car rentals are on five-year exclusive leases. However, there had been some past discussion about taking the restaurant out of an "exclusive" arena. Bookey stated he preferred the airport leases to be similar, as far as the exclusive issue and Porter stated she was not in favor of giving an exclusive lease, leaving the space available to anyone. Snow explained, the opportunity to bid would be available to all travel agencies. Bannock stated he did not object to a five-year lease, however he did object to the exclusive lease portion of the issue. MOTION: Councilwoman Swarner MOVED to direct Administration to issue the Invitation to Bid as requested by Ms. Fischer and continue with an exclusive use. Councilman Moore SECONDED the motion.

I-2. City Manager -- City Manager Snow referred to a report included in the packet as follows: · Youth Detention Center property -- the appraisal had been received which estimated the market value of the parcel at $325,000. The Planning & Zoning Commission confirmed the property was not needed for a City of Kenai public use but needed for the State's public use. Land Sales Update -- Two land sales bid on earlier in the year were conditioned upon the execution of installation agreements. Due to difficulties encountered in obtaining cost estimates for receiving electrical serVice by both developers and because there were no other bidders, administration waived the 14-day time period for closing the sale and indicated a willingness to reduce the amount of the bond for both developers by the amount of the costs pre-paid by them to HEA for electrical service. She added, unless otherwise directed by Council, she would continue to extend the waiver. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 5,2001 PAGE 20 Snow noted, at some point in time it would become necessary to close the deal. Bookey stated he would want to take an alternative direction if the difficulties were not worked out by the first of the year. Swarner noted she sympathized with the developers but agreed with Bookey that January 1, 2002 would be an acceptable deadline. Snow stated she would report back to council ff the situations changed or by January 1. Discussion followed regarding the Youth Detention Center property appraisal. Williams and Bookey stated they felt the values of city property were low when the city was selling them and high if the city wanted to purchase properties. It was suggested a second appraisal be acquired. Snow suggested council members review the appraisal and she was asked to discuss the matter with the appraiser, learning the method used for the evaluation and appraisal prior to council's deciding whether to acquire a new appraisal. Snow stated she would have another member of staff review the appraisal as well. · City Hall Remodel -- The remodel committee met in March and made several renovation alternatives for use of the downstairs space formerly occupied by Public Health. In August, the committee met again and decided to identify the impact the renovations might.have on the mechanical/ventilation study of City Hall. She added, the committee will meet again in September. · Received word the Kenai Fire Department received a ten percent matching grant from FEMA for personal protective breathing equipment. Williams requested Snow to contact HEA to inquire if they are moving some of their equipment, personnel and activities to Homer and if so, how much. I-3.

PUBLIC COMMENT - Ted asked that public comments for the boat wake study be presented during the public comment period only. Mr. Jim A. Richardson commented about the Legislative appropriation for a new boat ramp in the Lower Kenai River. He believes it is not a good idea. The proposed property is on the edge of state property that was previously purchased because of its valuable wetlands. The proposed property is a high bank area of the fiver, which would take considerable excavation to make it a usable boat ramp. Mr. Richardson stated that the loss of wetlands is not justified by this project, as it is not needed. He recommended that the KRSMA Advisory Board send a letter to the Governor with copies going to the Director of Parks, the EVOS Trustees, Sportfish Division, stating what is wrong with this site and why it is not appropriate for intensive site development. Robert Ruffner updated the Board on the water quality-monitoring program. A successful round of sampling was done in April. The results arrived today and KRSMA Advisory Board 3lay 24, 2001 Meeting Minutes page there were no red flags. He said they are seeking funds to continue this program through the DEC Non-Point Pollution Program. The proposal was asking for around $80,000 and DEC agreed to fund $45,000. This means not everything will be done this year but they will be able to do the MOU work planned. There may be some additional funds forthcoming. The next sampling will be in July. The MOU comments have been received from everyone except for DEC and the language was accepted. Ed Oberts commented on the agenda item regarding the mineral withdrawal in the Russian River area. He said multiple use should be allowed and our Borough could use more mining operations. III. NEW BUSINESS A. Boat Wake Study- teleconference with Dr. Steve Maynord, ACOE- WES Ted said he appreciates Dr. Steve Maynord making himself available for the teleconference meeting, and asked Dr. Maynord to respond first to the written questions from the board. Dr. Maynord: Some obvious results from the data show how the V hull boats performed versus the flat bottom hulls, showing that the V hull boats had a larger wave height than the flat bottom boats. Dr. Maynord said he took equations comparing the V hull to the flat bottom boats with the same length and them was a 30% difference in wave height. The speeds were not significantly different when the same weight was used between these boats. The hull shape is clearly a significant factor in the wave heights. Dr. Maynord stated that they also evaluated the contribution of passenger loading, but that did not explain the difference in the wakes alone. It would be hard to break down information on the propellers because them were three different motors used in the study. Brett asked if hull design would typically be a contributing factor in defining wakes. Dr. Maynord said that the bow shape is a critical parameter in defining wave height. Dr. Maynord said that the issue of the 35 hp vs. larger motors only affects the max power results. Max wave was not affected by the differences in horsepower. Three of the four boats produced a reduction in wave height with 40 or 50 hp motors on them. The lighter boats can get on step faster and easier to produce less wave height vs. heavier boats not getting on step very fast with the 35 hp motors. Dr. Maynord did not understand the Lowe information which showed an increase in wave height with the 40 hp motor. The data was checked again and is correct. He concludes that the Lowe with a KRSMA Advisory Board Page 2 May 24, 2001 Meeting Minutes greater motor power and some change in trim could be why the trends in information were different. Brett asked if there was a weight difference in outboards used. Dr. Maynord said the motors were same weight, just detuned. He said it is possible since' the Lowe is the lightest and smallest boat tested that the change in power produced a change in the trim, and we did not change the trim settings during the tests. Jim Golden asked if putting a 70hp on the same boats would show a further reduction in wave height. Dr. Maynord said that as we go faster we will expect some change in height and does not think it would be much different from 50 to 70 hp than it would be from' 35 to 50 hp. He cautioned, however, that regression equations should not be used outside the.range of data on which they are based. Ted asked how the wakes differed between the Koffier vs. the Willy Predator for similar loading when each used a 50 hp motor. Dr. Maynord referred to table 24 on page 58 of the draft report. There he said we see the numbers compared there and these numbers are the average over all loadings and distances. He said you can see the comparison between the 35 to 50 hp. Paul asked whether any stability tests were done during the study. Dr. Maynord said no, the goal for these tests was to mn typical weight loadings with sandbags in typical placements. He also suggested that in the future you make some trim measurements to compliment this report with the same vessels used in the study. He said this might have explained some of the load differences. Jim Golden wanted to make the point that some of the 13-20% changes on Table 24 only involve an inch or two differences in heights here. Steve said yes that is correct and a good point. The percentages seem high but the difference is in inches. Brett said that there are comparisons for loading from a heavy 6-passenger load to a light 3-passenger load, but no comparison for in between from 4-5 passengers. Ted said there is quite a difference in the weight of the boats. Did you consider the weights a great factor in generation of wakes? Dr. Maynord said if you go to page 20 you can see the difference in weight from lightest to the heaviest loads and you can see the trends of the weights tend to closely follow which boat produces the maximum wave heights. The Lowe produces the smallest wave height being the lightest boat, and the Willy Predator produces KRSMA Advisory Board May 24, 2001 Meeting 5Iinutes Page 3 the greatest wave height, being the heaviest. Clearly there is a relationship in wave heights and boat weights. Dr. Maynord said there have been some studies in Australia and Seattle where they looked at wave height and wave energy but neither parameter by itself is enough to delineate the seriousness of the bank erosion that may occur. The energy calculations tend to follow the same trends of the max wave height in terms of classifying different boats. Dr. Maynord said them are practical thresholds that exist above and below a certain height wake. Paul asked if them have been any studies showing how waves compound. Dr. Maynord said that if we had individual wave events, waves in phase would show an amplification of magnitude, or if out of phase they would subtract from each other and create a wave climate that is different from individual boats. Janette asked that in regards to the energy that strikes the shore, does the wave speed affect the energy. Dr. Maynord said on page 10 the energy is equal to the product of the wave height and the length of the wave, stating that a faster wave impacts a bank with greater energy. Brett wanted to get back to the erosive threshold. He said it would seem there are a number of factors in regards to erosive threshold including the distance of waves and type of bank and wanted to verify that there was nothing in this study that addressed thresholds. Dr. Maynord said that is tree and that was not one of his study's objectives. He said that it was his understanding that there was going to be follow-up work done after this study. Lance asked Dr. Maynord to discuss the differences in the Kenai River vs. Johnson Lake. Dr. Maynord said on page 85 it shows the results with the same boats and loadings from both Johnson Lake and the Kenai River. The compared data from the boats on both the lake and fiver show hardly any difference between the areas regarding max power. There was less than a ~,4" difference in wave heights. Charles asked how one wake affects another, or compounds other wakes when the Kenai River is crowded. Dr. Maynord said them is interference in compounding waves. The waves can be in phase that creates peaks and higher wave heights or they can be out of phase and cancel each other out. In summation, Dr. Maynord said this document is still a draft and he welcomes all suggested changes to make it more readable and any questions about the conclusions. KRSMA Advisory Board Page 4 May 24, 2001 Meeting Minutes Jim Golden asked what Dr. Maynord would have done differently in this study. He said he would have measured trim with different loads and motors on the same boats. Another thing would be to take people familiar with the fiver and the concept of max wave and ask them if this mode of operation is frequent enough and exist over a long enough length of the bank to be concerned about it. Or is the max power, which they were told was the main emphasis of this study, truly the main issue here. How significant is the max wave issue based on boats that operate on the Kenai River? Lance asked what parameter we would use to make the trim measurements suggested. Dr. Maynord said them are little devices that you can buy that tell you the tilt. This would measure the trim on the axis of the vessel and how that changes with different loading. Dr. Maynord said this might explain the difference in wave heights that were in the report. B. Legislative Appropriation for a new Lower Kenai River boat launch parcel .. )' .: Ted said the purpose of this agenda item is to provide information to the Board about this recent issue. The Legislature appropriated $350,000 to DNR to purchase a 10.4-acre parcel upstream several lots from the City of Kenai's Cunningham Park, for the purpose of constructing a new boat ramp. He stated that this came as a surprise to many of us, and we do not know much about it. We should not jump the gun before we learn more facts about the proposed purchase and whether it is good place for a boat launch. Our job is to advise agencies regarding this proposal and how it affects the Kenai River Comprehensive Management Plan. Chris reported that a recent site visit showed that the upper portion of the 10 acres is well-treed, dry ground; halfway to fiver it tums to slope wetlands and then tidally influenced wetlands near the riverbank. There are cultural sites on the bank and in the woods. The site is immediately downstream from the Cone property, which was purchased in the mid 1990's as EVOS land due to its sensitive wetland characteristics. Charles said that there is a high level plateau and it would take extensive work to create a platform for a boat launch. What is the difference in elevation between the terrace and the bank? Chris said it is probably 15-16 feet difference with a 15-20% bank angle or more. Paul asked if this would be flooded during an over water condition combined with a high tide. Chris said yes, it would be. Lance said the water at a high tide does go back into the property a ways. He also said there is salt tolerant vegetation located on the terrace above the fiver. KRSMA Advisory Board May 24, 2001 Meeting 3linutes Page 5 Bill asked if the outside bend would be a problem in this. Lance said that could be a problem. Ted requested that this be put on the agenda for the fall to discuss again. C. USFS Russian River Mining Withdrawal Proposal, Mike Kania, Seward District Ranger Ted gives a brief talk about what brought this subject about. Mike Kania was not available to speak to the Board tonight. Ted asked the board what action it wished to take regarding this proposal. Paul asked how many claims there are in that area. Bill Shuster: One recognized by the Forest Service and two under contention. Paul requested that Red Smith be permitted to make his public comments now. Ted offered Red the opportunity to address the Board. After that the board can decide if there is sufficient information to make a recommendation to the USFS by May 29th. Red said the proposal is not just for a mining withdrawal, but also a withdrawal from all public land laws including mining laws. Ted asked what minerals are being mined. Red said it is a calcium carbonate deposit. Ted asked what the ore is used for now. Red said this ore is not being used for anything as of yet. Paul said the effect on the Russian River drainage is his main concern and believes Mr. Smith had very good comments. Lance said he does not believe this withdrawal would invalidate these current claims. Charles said that based on the last meeting, nothing has changed, and he supports the withdrawal. Charles made a motion to support the USFS's request that these lands be withdrawn from mineral entry, and Lance seconded it. Jim Richardson stated the role of the board is to look at the contribution from the tributaries and the impact they have on the Kenai River. He also asked what the impact would be if the claims were proved up and made private property. KRSMA Advisory Board Page 6 May 24, 2001 Meeting Minutes IV. Brett asked how we consider the negative public comments and what agencies want when we have only heard from two members of the public speak on the topic .... Ted said this board does represent various perspectives of the fiver community and believes this is not a big board issue and he does not have any reservations of leaning one way or another. Lance asked if the head of the Russian River is closed to mineral entry. Bill said half of the fiver, down the middle, is closed to mineral entry under Refuge management. The other side would be open to mineral claims, except for the lower portion of the fiver which is already closed to new mineral entry. Jim Richardson wanted to clarify that this issue has no effeCt on existing claims, only future claims. Ted said that is his understanding. All those in favor of issuing a letter in support of this withdrawal' Ail Nays: None Abstained: Paul andBill D. Cooper Creek Erosion Concerns, Bill Shuster, USFS Near the confluence of Cooper Creek and the Kenai River is a large eroding hillside. This is a site that was heavily mined during the early part of the 1900's, and was relatively stable until the past couple of years. A large amount of sediment has slumped from the hillside and reached Cooper Creek. The USFS was able to stop the majority of this spring's mn off and erosion with an extensive silt fence. This summer, the Youth Restoration Corps will be working to stabilize the slope and work on bio-restoration. OLD BUSINESS A. Update - Beaver Creek/Wolf Lake Marathon's pipeline construction resource damage, Jim Hall, Kenai National Wildlife Refuge Jim Hall provided a PowerPoint presentation to the Board to illustrate this issue. Project started in January and is located on Marathon's Beaver Creek Oilfield, on the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge. This pipeline connects the Beaver Creek Oilfield with the Wolf Lake pad. The route follows the open wetland areas to reduce the impact in the winter and to avoid destruction of some old growth timber. This was the first time an oil company on the Refuge has had to complete an EIS, and the first time a restoration plan was required to return habitat to a near original condition as possible. On January 27, 2001 KRSMA Advisory Board May 24. 2001 Meeting Minutes Page 7 hydro axing started. The weather conditions were warmer than expected, so they did not have a contingency plan for dealing with exposed wetlands and water. When it was discovered that the pipeline excavation work was causing siltation into a lake, the projects was shut down until silt fences could be installed. Additional problems occurred when the early break up caused more melting and water quality impacts. Jim assured the Board that his agency and EPA would be working with Marathon to ensure that the site is restored. B. Recreation Impact Study - Future plans Ted Wellman and Lance Trasky needed to leave the meeting, so Brett took over the meeting management. He stated that this agenda item was included so.that the Board would hear that the Legislative re-appropriated the unexpended funds in the original appropriation to do the Boat Wake Study and the Recreational Impact Study. Those funds were re-appropriated to the 50/50 Habitat Program. The board members need to think about how we go about getting needed funds to move a study like this forward. Chris suggested that the board think about this study this summer and consider looking at it again in the fall. Paul said he feels strongly that this study should continue and does not understand why the money was re-appropriated.. C. Kenai River Center Update, Suzanne Fisler Suzanne said there are two more guide orientations left this season, May 26th and June 7th. As of this date, them are 268 registered guides on the Kenai River. Last year them were 380 at the end of the season. Low water and slow fishing have contributed to a slower registration this year, but it is expected that a number are still planning to register for the season. The Unity Trail proposal design was presented to the public last week. The preferred alternative design will start from Kenai, following the west side of Bridge Access Road towards the viewing platform, and come up to the roadbed by the bridge. The lanes across the bridge will be narrowed to accommodate a new railing and footpath. The trail will continue into the Kenai River Flats SRS parking lot and curve around under the bridge to continue towards Birch Island and then link into the K-Beach portion of the trail. Some of the agency concerns were that DOT appeared to select a preferred alternative prior to a public meeting, There are still concerns about displacement of nesting waterfowl and migratory birds. State Parks will set up a meeting with the consultants to talk about potential plans for Birch Island and the Kenai River Flats to make sure the EIS reflects accurately what our plans are. Suzanne stated that she will bring the board more plans in the fall. KRSMA Advisory Board May 24, 2001 Meeting Minutes Page 8 Suzanne said there was a report at the last meeting about a road built at Angler Acres and a qg~stion about _whether it was in the wetlands. EPA and the Corps of Engineers both looked at it and the prior property owner had a jurisdictional determination of wetlands done by the Corps. Them was a sliver of uplands that went to the riverbank and this is where the road was placed. The problem was that the overburden was pushed into the wetlands and fill was placed by the wetlands. The Corps is requiting them to remove the side cast material and the stockpile fill in the wetlands. The Kenai Watershed Forum has funded the Borough staff at the River Center to implement the 50-foot ordinance throughout the Peninsula, with a grant of $110,000. A planned update of the ADF&G Streambank Restoration Guide .. was funded for $120,000. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service evaluation of the grate walks has now been funded for another round of evaluation of docks and fiver structure permits. D. Update on Kenai Watershed Nutrients Study Brett said he will give a detailed report at the next meeting in the fall. E. DOT stakeholders committee The Board has been asked to provide a representative for the Stakeholders Sounding Board for the Mile 45-60 Sterling Highway Project. Ted had previously asked if Janette Cadieux would be willing to represent the Board on the new committee, and wanted to know if anyone on the board was opposed to this. Charles Quarre said he has been appointed to the Stakeholders group as a member of the Kenai River Property Owners Association and will be at the meeting on May 23rr. Chris asked if there is any opposition to Janette being appointed to the committee. Them was no opposition to the nomination. V® PUBLIC COMMENT None KRSMA Advisory Board May 24, 2001 Meeting Minutes Page 9 VI. ADJOURNMENT A.' Board Comments Chris wanted to thank the board for support of the DNR management of the KRSMA over the last few years. Paul says that we should not lose sight of new studies that need to be made after the first studies are done. B.
