D TEXT BRAC~] Kenai Peninsula Borough, Alaska Page 2 of 2 181 OVERVIEW OF BOROUGH PLANNING COMMISSION MEMBERSHIP STATEWIDE KENAI PENINSULA BOROUGH Currently, the Planning Commission consists of 11 members. 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 further requires that Commission membership be reapportioned according to thc fluctuation of population within the Borough and its first class cities by resolution of thc 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 fi'om time to time. MAT-SU BOROUGH The Planning Commission consists of 7 members. Commission membership is apportioned so that the number of members from 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. - JUL-~!Y-2UU] ~ uq'~u rn ~ra . !

If this requires increasing the size of the Planning Commhsion to meet the. ratios of city to non-city representation under Alaska statutes, then City Council. supports that increase. · ~fly the five seats allocated for cities are divided with 9ne seat for each first class or home 'rifle. city. This works very well and there are.no 'difficulties in letting each. city have a representative. But, if the number is reduced to four seats for' cities, there is no specified method of choosing which city does not get a representative or that prevents more'than one from the same city. The Council and I feel that main~§ the current five 'seats avoids these problems. We also feel it is necessary to maintain a strong city presence on the Commission as a significant portion of the out of city population resides in very close proximity to the cities and activities in those ar~ can have dramatic effects on the cities. I am providing a copy of this letter to each of the Assembly Members and ask 'that you inclUde this letter as part of the materials at any public hearing on this matter~ .

It is estimated that a total of 8 hours would be needed to complete Bernie Huss and a total of 16 hours for Municipal Park. Money would have to be appropriated for this work if we want to proceed. Total cost is estimated at $3,600. A break down of cost is as follows: A. Bernie HuSs Trail- $1,200 B. Kenai Municipal Park - $2,400 I would be happy to discuss this with you at your convenience.

Discussion followed and it was noted the use of seatbelts was a state law; people refusing to use them should not .be allowed to ride the bus; when not wearing a seatbelt, the person puts everyone at risk; and the membership could consider setting a policy. Although no policy was set, it was suggested the issue should be left to the drivers (the vehicle does not move until everyone is buckled up). Craig stated she would discuss the matter with the drivers. ITEM 7: , ADJOURNMENT MOTION: Member Jurgensen MOVED to adjourn and Member Hudd/eston SECONDED the motion. There were no objections.

Administration -- Kebschull noted the following: · Referring to the facilitator's draft agenda for the planning session scheduled for October 27, 2001, Kebschull noted there were two scheduled times that would be of interest to the Planning Commission. The City would like to have the Commission available to serve as a recorder/facilitator at a table at 8:55 a.m. At 9'20 a.m. Chairman Goecke will be asked to speak to the strategic planning effort. Kebschu11 stated additional information would be forwarded and public service announcements would be made on the radio and in the newspaper. PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MEETING SEPTEMBER 26,2001 PAGE 3 · A Conditional Use Permit application would be on the agenda at the next meeting for the reopening of a gravel pit off Beaver Loop Road. She added, the application would probably bring opposition from the residents in the area. Her assistant was checking the State's website which lists all the people on the Peninsula with daycare businesses. Those who have not applied for the proper permit with the City have been notified. Kebschull noted there were several operators caring for family members but noted that if they are getting paid for the service they would still require a permit from the City. · Certification letters continue to be sent to those individuals with Conditional Use Permits in an effort to confirm they are in compliance. Requested a review of the code regarding public hearing notification as the application fee often did not cover the cost of notification to properties within 300 feet. Kebschull stated she contacted other cities such as Soldoma, Homer, Seward, etc., and their fee is $250, which easily covers notification expenses and they do not send the notices via certified mail. After a brief discussion it was recOmmended 'the fee be changed to $200 and that the notifications be sent via regular mail rather than certified. Kebschull stated she would bring a resolution to the Commission for consideration. ITEM 11: PERSONS PRESENT NOT SCHEDULED -- None ITEM 12: INFORMATION ITEMS , ,, 12-a. 12-b.

KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 19,2001 PAGE 4 MOTION: Councilman Bannock MOVED for adoption of Ordinance No. 1933-2001 and Councilman Moore SECONDED the motion. There were no public comments. Councilman Bannock explained this portion of the code was recently amended and subsequently a problem arose where a person wanted to have a home occupation in a residence situated in a commercial zone. The new amendment will be consistent with the intent of the code to allow home occupations in residences. He requested council's support of the amendment. VOTE: Porter Williams Yes Yes ~_Moore Yes Yes MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. C-4. Ordinance No. 1934-2001 -- Increasing Estimated Revenues and Appropriations by $20,000 in the General Fund and Library Improvements Capital Project Fund for Schematic Drawings and Plans. MOTION: Councilman Moore MOVED for adoption of Ordinance No. 1934-2001 and Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion. There were no public comments. Councilman Moore stated an expansion had been needed for a long time. He added, the Friends of the Library had committed $50,000 for the purchase of furnishings for the expansion and improvements to the library. Since council stated they would consider funding an expansion, he urged council's support of the ordinance in order to follow through and see what comes from the plans and drawings. Councilman Bookey stated he understood the costs of the proposed project would not come from the General Fund and he didn't want to anticipate the costs coming from the General Fund in the future. He added, he could support the $20,000 for seed money, but felt the city was at the point to not draw off the General Fund for projects. Bookey suggested an amendment that the money wouldn't be taken from the General Fund, he would support the ordinance. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 19,2001 PAGE 5 MOTION TO AMEND: Councilman Bookey MOVED to amend the ordinance by adding wording to disallow use of the General Funds for the construction of the project if it is designed with general funds. Councilman Bannock SECONDED the motion. Discussion followed regarding the amendment. Moore stated there had been some discussion of applying for matching grants that may be available and the amendment, if passed, could preclude the acquisition of matching grants from the General Fund. Bannock stated he supported the amendment because a $1 million draw down from the General Fund (for the expansion) would be detrimental to the Fund. Swarner stated she would not support the amendment because it could bind future councils and that she felt each project should be considered individually.

Williams explained council would allow everyone in the audience who wanted to speak to the resolution, three minutes in which to make their remarks. MOTION: Councilman Bannock MOVED for approval of Resolution No. 2001-71 and Councilman Bookey SECONDED the motion. James Zirul -- Local business owner in the city, however not a city resident. Stated his opposition to the resolution because he felt it was the responsibility of the Legislature and State, in cooperation with the Borough, to care for prisoners and if the proposition passes, there was no guarantee the city would not have to cover the costs of upgrades to water/sewer utilities to accommodate the prison facility if the prison is moved elsewhere. KENAi CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 19,2001 PAGE 8 Gerald Brookman -- Kenai resident since 1978. Agreed with Zirul and added, there were too many questions unanswered and when a private company into the chain of command, no matter how strictly the contract might be written, it removes accountability to the state. Brookman added, he believed the state should be running the prison if the state is going to arrest, prosecute, etc. Additionally, if Cornell Company gets the benefits, the residents of the borough take the risks. He requested council vote no to the resolution or table it until after the October 2 vote because he felt if the council passed the resolution, in voters' minds, it would be saying the council endorses the project. Robert Peterkin -- President of the Kenai Chamber of Commerce. Reported the Chamber Board of Directors developed a community study on the issue and through their findings, passed a resolution supporting the proposition. Peterkin distributed a copy of the resolution to council. James Price, Box 7043, Nikiski -- Urged council to postpone action on the resolution until after the October 2 vote and if council decided to vote on the resolution, he urged them to vote against the project. Price added, he didn't believe the facts had been .... stated, i.e. wages, being a good neighbor, and that if there was a feasibility study the people would reject it, etc. Additionally, Price stated council's passing the resolution would influence the voters. Bannock referred to the contingencies included in the resolution and asked Price if he didn't agree that the council would want those contingencies addressed. Williams stated he felt the line of questioning was inappropriate, however council and Price had no objections to it. Price stated he agreed the council should have the contingencies addressed, however he noted his concern was that passing the resolution would lead the voters to believe it is a good project and the council did not have the facts to support that it is a good project. Jack Brown, Nikiski -- Noted he was speaking as an individual, but had served as Assemblyman for a portion of Kenai for five years. Stated his support of the project was due to the volatility of the price of oil, because of the need for sources of stable revenue, the project would bring jobs to the area, and bring kids back to the area. Iola K. Banks, P.O. Box 41, Kenai -- Stated her opposition to the resolution and the prison project noting her concern for the safety of the area children. Mark Osterman, P.O. Box 1027~ Kasilof-- Stated he was a candidate for the Borough Assembly. Osterman stated his opposition to the resolution and project, noting it was not a function of a private corporation to house prisoners. He also noted his concerns of Comell's business performance (suits, frees, etc.). Osterman added, he believed it is the function of the government to house prisoners, not private industry and requested council to postpone action until after the October 2 election. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 19,2001 PAGE 9 Gary Hinkle, Box 322, Soldotna (Chinulna Point Subdivision) -- Stated his support of the resolution, notin§ the water/sewer utility bein§ used by more would lower the rate of the utility for everyone and a private prison would run more efficiently and make a profit because it has "hands-on" mana§ement. He added, if private management fails in five years, they can be replaced. Williams Phillips, Kenai -- Urged council's non-support of the resolution as he believed the borough had acted in haste; the proposition does not say there has to be a feasibility study; the borough would not have to honor the city's resolution; and the project could cost all the citizens of the borough if the issue ends in litigation. Royce Rock, representing approximately 75 Kenai Peninsula members of the Carpenters Union {Anchorage) -- Supported the resolution. He noted, they were looking forward to the jobs and the 20 months of work for his union members. He added, the jobs would be good pay, the project would be good for the economy, and would be good for the state and everyone included. Linda Reynolds, P.O. Box 763~ Soldotna -- Stated her support of the project, noting private management of the prison would enable accountability, will help in rehabilitation of the prisoners by bringing them back to Alaska. Debbie Sonberg, 410 Cinderella Street, Kenai -- Stated she greatly appreciated the conditions included in the resolution and hoped the borough would take them to heart; was concerned there could be a lawsuit and if so, it would affect all the borough and city; believes there is a financial risk, i.e. who pays the revenue bonds if the facility fails; and concerned halfway houses would be introduced to the area if the prison is built. Sonberg stated she believed it appropriate to postpone action until after the October 2 election. Barbara-Huff~ Teamsters Union (Anchorage) -- Stated her support of the project noting there would be no additional cost to taxpayers within the community; within five years, if the contractor is not successful, the Department of Corrections could determine to replace the contractor or make it a public sector prison; there would be $25 milhon input into the economy; it would create 200-300 construction jobs for two years; there would be 200 year-round jobs after completion of the facility; and training would be in accordance of requirements of the Department of Corrections. Huff urged support of the resolution. Blaine Gilman, 116 Haida Street, Kenai. Stated he represents the Kenai Natives Association, Inc. Believes the project would have a positive effect to area schools by increasing the school population which would a/low for additional teachers and increasing the school population. He noted the resolution was about economic development, jobs, and bringing prison worker families to the community. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 19,2001 PAGE 10 Kathy Moore, 1006 Inlet Woods Drive, Kenai -- Stated she lives next to the proposed site. Moore noted, she believed the project would bring more jobs to the community, which would bring more people to the area and keep the schools growing. She stated her support of the resolution and asked it not be tabled and added, the council was elected to help guide the citizens of Kenai. Brad Wilson -- Union representative for the Alaska State Troopers and Correctional Officers. Stated he believed the council's contingencies included in the resolution were good, but was concerned the headlines would be that the council supported the project. He noted the special recall election held in Delta ,Junction could have been avoided if a financial feasibility study had been done before the vote. Wilson added, two years would not be too long to Wait to have a feasibility study done. Joe Malatesta, Sr., Clam Gulch -- Stated his support of the resolution and noted his main reason for supporting the resolution was the jobs that would be brought to the Kenai area. He added, no business does a feasibility study before approval as it would be a waste of money. If the voters say yes, then it would be appropriate to move into a feasibility study. Randy Daly-- Stated he lives and owns a business in Kenai. Daly stated there were no guarantees and the council had to do their best and be willing to take a step forward. He added, the project would be good as it would bring jobs. Grace Merkes -- Stated she would be voting no on the proposition. However, she believed it was a little late for the city to support a resolution at this time and a better time would have been when the borough first passed a resolution in support of it. She had asked for a feasibility study and requested it be included in the question on the ballot. In speaking with the borough attorney she was told a study could still be done even if there is a no vote. If the feasibility study is found to be good, she believed the assembly and council would approve it. Merkes added, she believed the voters were saying no to the proposition because they don't have information the study could give them. She agreed it was time for the voters to make the decision and also suggested council postpone action on the resolution until after the October 2 election. Merkes also stated she believed the voters will see the city's actions, if the resolution is passed, as supporting the prison and they won't read the contingencies on the resolution. Bill Popp -- Borough Assemblyman and lives in VIP Subdivision. Explained there were steps the borough would have to accomplish if the vote is yes, i.e. completion and approval of a feasibility study, negotiate an agreement with the State of Alaska based on the feasibility study input, and make sure all questions are adequately addressed. The borough is in first place to develop the project and support of the council was needed. He requested council to work with the borough with a guarded point of view. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 19,2001 PAGE 11 Diana Zirul, 220 Spur View Drive, Kenai -- Stated she was bom in the Kenai area and she had thought long and hard about the project, she served in a lot of differen~ capacities in the community and promoted economic development. She appreciated the concerns listed in the resolution by council. Zirul suggested tabling the issue until after the vote on October 2 as she didn't think the council should be used as a pawn to influence the voters; noted she believed it was late for a resolution but understood the city's concerns; and investigated the concept several years ago while she served as the President of the KNA. Zirul stated she believed there were lots of unanswered questions and urged council to table action until after the October 2 vote. Mike Gilliland, Cornel/Companies Representative, Albuquerque, NM -- Stated he and his company were committed to the project, his job is to get out accurate information about his company and share his personal experience in the corrections area. He clarified that Comell Companies had no involvement in the Delta Junction lawsuit. He noted Comell had signed an agreement with the borough that they would not sue the borough if the vote fails. G/lliland added, public safety is their first concern and their second is the secure, safe and humane institutionalizing and care for the inmates. Bill Kluge, Kenai -- Stated he is participating in the project, but has friends on both sides of the discussion. Kluge stated a lot of the concerns stated are still whether it should be a private or public prison. He added, whether it would be private or public, he hoped the facility would be run in an efficient and business like manner. Kluge stated his support of the resolution because it would be a big economic development for the city. Michael Carpenter, Cetacea Lane, Kenai. -- Stated he believed the private versus public prison question came about because the state was not running the prison systems economically. Carpenter stated his support of the resolution. Elsie Hendryx, 618 Fir, Kenai. -- Hendryx urged council to support the resolution. She noted, KNA had investigated a lot of companies and believed Comell Companies would be the best to work with on the project. She added, they also believed the project would have the economic boost needed for the community and Kenai would be a safe place for families to reside. She urged council's support. Susan Wells, Cetacea Lane, Kenai -- Is a member of the KNA Board and noted they had investigated the prison industry since 1994 and had been working with the borough and Comell. She added, they have a sound plan and they had a lot of confidence and believed it is one of the best projects for sustainable jobs for the area,' construction, prison industry and others. KENAI CITY coUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 19,2001 PAGE 12 Wells urged support of the resolution and added, community members look to the council for assurance. She added, council's support of the resolution would not be telling people how to vote, but that that the city will work with the borough, KNA and Cornel1. Denise O'Connell, 607 Maple Drive, Kenai -- Stated she is a member of KNA and is a guard at Wildwood Correctional Facility. O'Connell noted her opposition to the private prison and stated she didn't want her children to work there and didn't want to see the inmates brought here. Jerry Ward, Nikiski-- Stated his support of the resolution, noting a private prison can stop repeat offenders through their programs and public employees are afraid of competition. He stated he wanted to see the construction jobs, the post-construction jobs, and requested consideration to give a chance to KNA to put programs in the facility to help rehabilitate the inmates. Discussion followed in which Williams asked if the state would be paying the bond or would the cost of the bond come from the $25 million that had been stated would Come to the community in economic development. Ward answered the debt payment would come out of the per-bed cost (from the $25 millionl. He added, whether the vote was yes or no, the state would be paying a private prison in Alaska or Arizona and the Legislature would continue to fund a private prison because it will be cheaper. Williams asked Ward who would be responsible for the cost to expand the city's water and sewer utilities and facilities. Ward stated that when the legislation was passed, he asked Assemblyman Navarre to discuss an amount with the city in order to write the amount into the legislation. It was not done. Tim Navarre, Borough Assemblyman, Kenai -- Stated his support of the resolution and added, if the proposition is passed, he would work diligently representing the city to insure the contingencies included in the resolution would be honored and done, and the assembly would work with Kenai to get the information out. Navarre added, the project was too big an opportunity to pass up as it would be a major project for the borough and an economic opportunity for everybody. Dee Hubbard, P.O. Box 88, Sterling. -- Stated her concern the voters' fights were waived in December in regard to the bonding and if the Assembly had done its homework, there wouldn't be this discussion now. She added, the citizens of the borough were being asked to trust the Assembly that they write a contract to protect its citizens. There is no information of what a private prison will or will not do and it is not known what will be in the contract and she believed that was a key issue. The public hearing was closed and comments were heard from council. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 19, 2001 PAGE 13 Bannock questioned the feasibility study contingency included in the resolution and requested an explanation of the request for the approval of the feasibility study by the council meant. Williams explained it would allow the council to review it and agree with it or not. Moore noted, that if council disapproved of the findings, it could pull out. Williams added, that if the city would pull out, it wouldn't stop the prison from being built. Moore stated, if council did not pass the resolution, he believed it would be a detriment to the overall proposition. He wanted to pass the resolution so the project could move forward. He requested the contingencies would be included in the headlines. He added, there were many businesses in Kenai closing down and a stable industry would be important to the community. Moore added, he was troubled the resolution could influence voters, but he believed it important the council take a stand. Porter stated she would support the resolution as she thought it was council's obligation to protect the interests of the citizens no matter how they choose to vote. If the vote on the proposition is yes, it would indicate the city is willing to protect the interests and if the vote is no, they would know council is still there to support them. Porter also noted that during the economic forum earlier in the year, there had been many comments that economic development was the highest priority. Swarner stated, philosophically she couldn't support the resolution because she believed their support would be interpreted by the voters that council supports the proposition and, understanding the timeframe and reasons why, because there is no feasibility study to justify council's supporting the project. Bookey stated he echoed all the thoughts mentioned except Swarner's and he would support the resolution. He added, when the Wildwood prison was being discussed he was opposed to it and found he was wrong. Bookey stated he believed the project would be an economic benefit to Kenai. Williams stated he would not support the resolution as it was not a city project; council shouldn't have been put in the position in regard to the project this late in the game; there are too many unanswered questions; the voters had been given the opportunity to make the decision; and to have the council lend credibility to the project is wrong. Bannock stated there were mistruths in information being sent out to voters from one of the "vote no" campaigns. He stated a no vote on the resolution would mean one didn't care what voters do on October 2 with Proposition 1; ff the proposition passes, one didn't want to be involved in the project; vote no and it would mean one didn't want anything to do with partnering with the borough for infrastructure and services; vote no and it would say, we don't know and we don't care. Voting yes would say you KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES SEPTEMBER 19,2001 PAGE 14 are trusting the voters and if the proposition passes, the city and council is ready, willing, able and the door is open to do business. Swarner responded to Gilman's comments regarding families of workers moving to Kenai, noting when the city built the flight service station they were told 90 families would move into the city and research showed that many purchased homes in the borough or in Soldotna. In regard to Bannock's comments, Swarner stated she was no on the resolution but not because of the reasons he stated. She stated she was willing to work with the borough and supported economic development, but did not think the council should be voting on the issue. Moore called for the question. VOTE: Porter Williams .:Moore Yes No Yes Bannock Booker lYes Yes Swamer MOTION PASSED. No C-10. Resolution No. 2001-72 -- Supporting the United States of America. Williams explained the resolution was written in response to the September 11,2001 terrorist attacks through the hijacking and destroying of four civilian aircraft by crashing them into the World Trade Center towers, the Pentagon, and a field in Pennsylvania. He read the last paragraph of the resolution: NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, and representing the men, women and children of the Kenai community, that we support the President of the United States and our national security team in protecting and defending the United States of America against cowardly and deadly terrorist actions.

Diana Zirul -- Commended the council for the resolution and added, she thought the last week had been a trial for everyone. She added, knowing how difficult it was for everyone to speak to the previous resolution, it was a reminder of what the United States government offered: the democratic process, everyone has a vote, and the citizens needed to get out and voice it. Councilwoman Swarner requested administration to develop appropriate wording for a plaque and planting to be placed at Memorial Park on behalf of the council and be paid for from the Legislative budget.

City Manager-- City Manager Snow reported the following: · She forwarded council's comments and suggestions regarding the development of the boat launch at the bridge in conjunction with the development of the parking area turnoff instead of the purchase of the Horseshoe End at River Bend 1 O-acre property individually to five resource agencies, staff and reviewers as well as DOT right-of-way agent. None were accepting of the idea. However, the issue would also be discussed at the Kenai River Special Management Area board meeting scheduled for September 20 where she would be able to discuss the matter with all of them at one time. Williams noted that he and Councilwoman Swarner discussed the matter with Representative Lancaster. He believes the city should continue to explore possibilities and if council has to fall back to the Wildrose properties, an artist's concept should be acquired and available for the council and public to better indicate what is being proposed. Snow added, the agencies indicated there was virtually no potential for constructing a boat launch ramp in that area because there is less likelihood of permitting that area than there would be for the ten-acre parcel because of the wetlands issue, i.e. estuary protection, the amount of fill needing to be used, etc. Bookey asked how they planned to develop the walkway to Birch Island without disturbing the wetlands and Snow explained the Birch Island development would include kiosks and interpretative trails which would be of less impact. This project is still being planned and had been supported by the KRSMA Board and agencies. The boat launch is not thought to be a compatible use as it would displace current users of that area and then future users for the interpretative sites, etc. after Birch Island is developed. Bookey stated his concern of relinquishing the conservation easement because when it is relinquished, it would be gone forever. He noted, he would want to review the issue again when the conservation easement issue comes back to council as it is a valuable bargaining chip. He added, he didn't want to lose the ability to negotiate.

The appraiser offered to come and speak to council. Discussion followed and council considered purchasing a second appraisal. It was noted the improvement planned for the property would still add enough value to the property to compensate for the appraised value. MOTION: Councilman Moore MOVED to purchase another appraisal and Councilwoman Porter SECONDED the motion. A show of hands showed no support of the motion. MOTION FAILED. · Received notification from Alaska's Best Travel that the lessee no longer wanted to put the extension of lease request, discussed at the September 5 meeting, on 'h°ld due to the recent terrorist attack on September 11,2001.

Williams suggested a task force be formed to discuss the possibility of developing an assisted living facility and/or senior housing and Swarner suggested consideration needed to be given to whether the city would want to be involved in low income housing for seniors as well. Moore -- No comments. Porter -- Stated her concern that many of the public attending this night's meeting had to stand in the hallway due to the lack of seating in the Chambers. She suggested additional seating be added to the chambers and requested administration investigate the possibility. Clerk Freas noted the Fire Marshall's Certificate allowed 60 in the room.

'Gill Street Improvements' curb, gutter, and paving need to be completed soon. Cold weather is rapidly approaching, and we do not want to have concrete problems with the curb and gutter. The residences that use this road have been patient. We certainly want the work done properly, (no frozen concrete or paving over standing water) but it should be done as soon as possible. 2. The City Council is concerned about the joints between the Spur and the City's side roads. The small drop between Forest and the Spur was specifically mentioned. I realize the contractor still has to remove some asphalt and repave some approaches, but several areas appear complete and still have an abrupt joint. The City would like to inspect these joints with DOT. 3. In many areas, the slope behind the sidewalk does not appear to meet the specifications. There should be a straight or fiat area from the top of the sidewalk back one meter. Under present conditions, it would be impossible to mow this one meter area because the lawn mower would high center and dig into the new grass. The back slope needs to be constructed so the grass can be maintained with a push mower. 4. The City is anxious to have the work in our area completed. I understand that project change orders will extend the completion date past the end of October.

Our ALPAR Youth Littler Patrol covered 155 miles of roadway, picking up a record 9,010 pounds of litter. Our crew also cleaned the Kenai beach after dip netting season and cleaned up the grounds during Industry Appreciation Day in August. We picked up over 500 pounds of cardboard, one of our crewmembers found a turkey in a box and another found a $100 bill! The experience these young people gained from working on our ALPAR crew and the benefits to our community are both immeasurable. Thank you so very much for supporting this worthwhile program. We respectfully request that you fund this program again next summer with a $1,000 contribution. Please contact me if you have any questions at 283- 2682. Sincerely, .
