ITEM 5' OLD BUSINESS
Discussion-- Kenai Coastal Trail Project Update
Kornelis reported Peratrovich, Nottingham & Drage (PND) had provided a list of
agency concerns, including the need of further Kenai River analyses. The
Commission commented it seemed PND was not seeking out existing studies
and, to date, they had not shown anything to indicate further analyses was
being done. Komelis stated the City Manager set a date to meet with PND and
a facilitator at which time she will get further definition and clarification on
what PND requires. Several Commissioners commented the concerns outlined
in the PND report seemed to apply only to the river and not the tidal flats and a
separation needs to be made between the fiver and the project.
5-]3.
Discussion -- Kenai River Watershed Water Quality
Kornelis reported, a presentation was given at the last City Council meeting
regarding the water quality for the Beaver Creek area. Kornelis and the
Commission spoke briefly regarding a peak in fecal coliforms last April, and a
peak in aromatic hydrocarbons in July. The Commission discussed possible
reasons for the coliform peak (storm sewers, settling pond, etc.). Another study,
with City of Kenai participation, will be done this upcoming spring.

ITEM 6- OLD BUSINESS
6-a. Discussion -- Library Renovation
The Commission took a 10-minute break to wait for the arrival of architect Kluge. At
7'20 p.m. Kluge presented the Commission with draft schematic plans of the proposed
library renovation. The following topics were discussed:
Parking Space: Parking space requirements are currently one parking
space per 100 square feet of floor space. The current plan reserves 68 spaces, which
might not be adequate. The Commission spoke at length regarding extra parking
space. Possibilities included the old courthouse parking lot, utilizing the area near
Fidalgo Street, and a shared parking area with City Hall. Kluge stated an as-built
survey would need to be done to assess specific issues. Additionally, La Shot and
Springer stated the need for zoning variances should be investigated.
· Kluge provided a detailed explanation to the proposed floor plan and
provided insight on the flowing:
- With a second story expansion, the elevator will be a large expense. The
Commission spoke briefly regarding Springer's memo (forwarded to them by mail).
Springer stated elevators create a long-term maintenance expense as well as the
expensive initial purchase price. He further stated if the expansion remained one level,
the same square footage would be gained. Jankowska and the Commission briefly
discussed this idea, but determined that at some point, due to the lack of available
acreage, an upstairs would be needed. Additionally, Kluge stated a second story would
prove more cost effective in the long run. The Commission stated an unfinished
second story could be used for storage and could hopefully be finished by grant money
or fundraising efforts.
-The property lines around the area of City Hall and the library are not clear; La
Shot stated he would investigate this.
-Heus stated she felt it best to build a two-story extension as far as possible
towards City Hall. Councilman Moore stated such an extension would probably exceed
$1 million and might have a slim chance of being approved. Kluge stated he could ask
for a price estimate for both the draft two-story proposed and Hues's idea could then
be calculated from that price. Kluge stated he should have a pricing estimate by the
middle of January and will provide the Commission with this information as soon as
possible.
MOTION:
Commissioner Brenckle MOVED to request a pricing estimate for the schematics as
drawn by Kluge and Associates. Commissioner DeForest SECONDED the motion.

ITEM 5'
OLD BUSINESS
5-a. Discussion -- BMX/Skateboard Park-- Frates requested the Commission refer
to the outlined areas on the maps provided in the Commission packets. The areas
were categorized and discussed as follows'
# 1 Barron Park: Barron Park (the old fire training grounds) is located behind Kenai
Chrysler on Marathon Road. An advantage to this area is the large dirt pile that exists
there already. This would eliminate the need to bring dirt in to create a BMX park. A
disadvantage to this area is it is Airport property; buying or leasing the area could be
very expensive.
#2 Lawton' The Commission stated this area might not be the most aesthetically
pleasing area to use. An advantage to this area is its proximity to the muff-purpose
use facility. Again, Frates stated, this area is Airport property.
#3 Ball Field Area: The Commission spoke at length regarding the merits of this area
and its future potential. This area is owned by the City, which added to its appeal.
Discussion of future improvements included: Converting a BMX/Skateboard Park into
a snowboarding area for winter use, baseball complex, soccer fields, parking, camp
sites and other possible developments. Additional discussion was spent on the idea of
using part of Jettison Junction (borough owned) to accommodate any long-term future
plans.
MOTION:
Commissioner Hultberg MOVED to recommend to council an architect review the
ballpark area and develop draft schematics and cost estimate for the ballpark
subdivision design improvements which will include plans for a dirt bike trail/park,
parking, a baseball complex, soccer fields, a lighted complex, and camp sites.
Commissioner Sandahl SECONDED the motion.

Todd Dewey, KPHA Request for Hockey Clinic/Multipurpose Facility
Dewey presented the Commission with a request to hold a hockey clinic at the multi-
purpose use facility this upcoming spring (May or June). Dewey stated he held a clinic
last summer with approximately 65 players attending from Vancouver. This team has
contacted him to express interest in attending again. Dewey stated he feels he could
easily get 100 people or more this year. Frates presented the Commission with
electricity/utility and ice preparation costs. Frates also stated he feels the ice making
system can handle maintaining ice in 50-55 degree weather, though the city will
probably want to recoup expensive utility costs.. Additionally, Frates suggested KPHA
work in the Kenai Recreation Center as part of their hockey clinic/training program.
MOTION:
Commissioner Hultberg MOVED to recommend to Council the approval of Dewey's
hockey clinic plan, provided the economics are worked out. Commissioner Sandahl
SECONDED the motion.

ITEM 3:
SCHEDULED PUBLIC COMMENT
Etleen Bechtol, Consultant, Kevin Waring Associates--Kenai
Comprehensive Plan- Draft Chapter 2~Review of Goals and Objectives
Bechtol explained the information before them was the first draft of the goals and
objectives which were developed from comments received at the town meeting on
October 27. She noted, at the town meeting, the focus groups separated into teams
and developed their lists of goals and objectives. That information was then put into
lists of goals/targets and objectives. Bechtol added, the items in the list were not
prioritized.
Bechtol reviewed the development schedule:
(1) prepare background report (approximately 95% completed and copies
would be distributed within the next two to three weeks);
(2) hold a town meeting (held on October 27 and from that the first draft of
goals & objectives before the Commission);
(3) develop specific land use plans and community facility plans after
knowing the goals and objectives are on target (specific alternatives defined and
clarified);
(4) develop an implementation plan (identifying specific projects, what
department is in charge, time frames, monetary impacts, etc.).
Bechtol advised the Commission to keep their options open and if there is something
in the first draft that is off-target, it would be the Commission's position to delete it or
if there is something which was missed, add it. Comments of the Commission,
additions/deletions, public comments, etc. will be included in the minutes of the
meeting and they will keep a record of the minutes, as well as any newspaper articles,.
etc.
The Commission was asked whether they wanted to review the goals one by one and it
was decided the floor would be opened for public comments first and then address
specifics. Speakers were given three minutes in which to offer their comments.
PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MEETING
DECEMBER 12,2001
PAGE 2
Ricky Gease, Executive Director, Kenai Convention/h Visitor Bureau -- Stated he
and his board supported the city's comprehensive planning and especiallY Goal 1,
Create an attractive, vital, cuflural center, in downtown Kenai with a mix of private
and public facilities and activities to benefit residents and visitors, and 10, Expand or
provide public facilities that increase hte quality of life for Kenai's citizens and visitors.
He added, he and his Board were fully behind these §oals and would work in any they
can with the city to see that the wishes of the citizens are realized in that way. Gease
added, during the next year, the Bureau would also be doing strategic planning for
their organization and the Kenai Visitor & Cultural Center. They would like to work
with the city to develop a long-term plan for that building. He added, he believed the
city/non-profit partnership between the Bureau and the city had been very successful
and should be used as a model in working together.
Randy Daly, 108 Deepwood Court, Kenai -- Daly stated he was speaking on behalf
of the Economic Development District. He mirrored Gease's statement that the EDD
was very interested in the city's economic plan and extended their hand to help in
whatever way they can in providing data, etc. in the process. He commended the city
on Goal No. 4.3, support and promote reuse and renovation projects of vacant or
underused again commercial buildings along Spur Highway. Daly added, they were
very interested in what unique things (incentives) the city would develop to this regard.
Debbie Harris, 310 Portlock, Kenai -- Stated she was representing the Kenai River
Council on the Arts and expressed their support to the Commission and the
Comprehensive Plan. She noted, their focus is cultural and quality of life, and were
very supportive of Goals 1 and 10. Harris added, they were in the process of finding
and creating a performing arts/cultural center and would like to work with the
Commission in their work.
John Williams, Mayor, 210 Fidalgo Avenue, Kenai-- Suggested the following items
to be corrected, added or removed from the list of goals:
· Objective 1.3 -- Explained the Daubenspeck Tract was a small portion
of the area that has been referred to as "Millennium Square" and suggested, for
planning purposes, instead of identifying the property as Daubenspeck, it be referred
to, and officially at some point, as Millennium Square.
· Objective 1.8, Objective 6.2, and Objective 7.3 -- All refer to the bluff
erosion control program {stabilizing the Kenai River bluff, pursuing a stabilization
project, developing the coastal and bluff trail system). Because the city is having
difficulty in developing the project and because it is something the community would
like to see pursued, he requested this information be emphasized as a community
priority so the permitting agencies will understand that in their consideratiOn of the
city's project applications.
Objective 3.1 -- In the area of developing an assisted living facility, an
assessment of what the city's role in an assisted living facility should be considered,
PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MEETING
DECEMBER 12, 2001
PAGE 3
i.e. should the city assist a developer; how active a role should the city take; should
the city be involved itself in the development and operation of a facility; or is it beyond
the city's scope of services as a city.
Objective 3.2 -- In regard to development of additional senior housing,
how should the city address that issue.
· ADD -- Objective 5.9.1 -- Would like to add' Provide for a community
center for use by a variety of groups.
· ADD -- Objective 8.6 -- Would like to add: Work toward'or assist in the
development of a new National Guard Armory. He explained, currently the community
doesn't have a community center. There will be discussions with the National Guard
to build a new facility closer to the airport. If it is built, it would be the city's request
to take over the current National Guard Armory and use it as a community center.
· REMOVE: Objective 9.1 and 9.2 -- Williams noted anything dealing
with education and the public school system is not within the purview of the city
government and suggested the item be removed from the list.
· ADD Objective 10.5 -- Provide for a community center.
· ADD Objective 10.6 -- Williams reported the council would have a work
session with the Planning & Zoning Commission, as well as other commissions of the
city to hear a presentation from the Central Peninsula General Hospital in regard to an
overview of future development of hospital facilities within the city. Whether it should
be made a part of the plan should be considered. He also suggested "expanded
hospital facilities" could be added in other areas of the Plan.
Commissioner Aaronson distributed a list of goals/objectives that he took from the list
included in the packet. He noted, there was a lot of repetition on the consultant's list
and suggested the items on their list be more specific, identifying the primary goals.
Commissioner Bryson explained there were some items on the consultant's list that he
didn't remember having the significance they received on the list. He noted the
following items:
· Objective 4.2 -- AHFC mortgage loans was mentioned but in the context
of the cit.
· Objective 7.1 -- Referring to preserving the old trails in Section 36' It is
a trail, but entirely on private property.
· Objective 7.4 -- Expanding trails along all state highway corridors is an
issue addressed since 1979 when pedestrian/bicycle trails were requested for along
the spur highway system and Beaver Loop. There are many reports that would
substantiate that interest.
Objective 8.5 -- He wasn't aware there was a perception there was not
adequate police protection.
· Objective 9.1 -- Local control of education is out of the purview of the
city government (noted by Mayor Williams).

meeting.
Objective 9.3 -- Wasn't aware this item was discussed at the town
Commissioner Goecke stated he agreed with Bryson's comments that there were some
items on the list he did not think were significantly important, but understood other
members of the public did feel were important, which was the point of holding the
town meeting. He noted there would be some that Would be eliminated.
City Planner Kebschull noted the following:
· Felt it was important the Commission understand this was the time they
should give input as to items to remove, add, wording changes, etc. If they decided
not to do it at this meeting, they should schedule another meeting for that purpose.
She added,, the consultants now need a draft list of goals and objectives.
Commissioner Glick discussed the list with her and reiterated the items
Mayor Williams and Commissioner Bryson noted on Objective 9.1 and 9.2, in regard to
the control of public schools and stated they should be removed from the list.
· ADD Objective 9.1 -- Kebschull reported Glick requested another item
be placed on the list entitled, "The city should work w/th the school district to create
community schools in Kenm similar to Soldotna."
· Kebschull noted she received a comment from City Attorney Graves
regarding Objective 2.8. He reported, under the Fair Housing Act, the city cannot limit
or restrict group'homes.
Kebschull requested direction from the Commission in regard to going through the list
item by item during this meeting or do it during another meeting.
Aaronson noted, since there were a number of items mentioned more than once, he
asked a tally of the mentions. Bechtol stated they listed all the information from the
transparencies prepared by the teams at the town meeting. She added, they would
forward the requested information. Williams noted, some years ago the council chose
not to fund community schools and the information could be researched by the City
Clerk.
Bryson suggested another meeting be held to address specifics and provide direction
for the consultants. He noted Goal 9 for which he agreed with the general statement,
but not necessarily the items listed under it. At his table they discussed other
endeavors that could be included, i.e. improved education services for advanced age
adults, medical, etc.
Councilman Bannock suggested going through the list quickly during this meeting to
gain consensus whether to remove an item or not. The Commission considered taking
a break and then reviewing the list or holding a work session to review instead.
Williams noted, the consultants agreed through their contract to make several trips to
PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MEETING
DECEMBER 12,2001
PAGE 5
Kenai in regard to development of the Plan. Kebschull reminded the Commission the
goal was to have a final draft of the Plan approved by the Commission by May.
Aaronson agreed the Commission could go through the list individually by the next
meeting and then discuss it again at their next meeting.
Daly agreed with Aaronson and suggested they review the lists individually, talk with
their constituents, and then edit the list. Bryson stated his concern that if the
Commission is constructing something, it should be in the Commission's sphere of
authority to construct. He noted, the Commission recommends to the Department of
Transportation, the Borough, etc. He added, there were a number of verbs in the
report's wording that were inappropriate for the authority.
Kebschull noted there were no goals included for the airport and airport lands and
incorporating some to that regard should be considered by the Commission. Williams
noted a work session the council would be holding on January 16 to hear future plans
of the hospital presentation and suggested the Commission should also attend as that
information may need to be included in the Plan.
Deciding how to go forward with the information was discussed further. Gease asked
how the public would be able to give input in the process. It was noted, the
development of the Plan would continue through Planning & Zoning Commission
meetings for the next several months. Kebschull noted, in her discussions with the
contractor, they will hold additional town meetings as needed, or by direction of the
council or commission. Bechtol noted, the contract states the draft plan deadline as
"generally by May" and she didn't think a later finish date would affect anything if
everyone agrees with the progress. Kebschull added, the completion of the draft
should be done within a compact amount of time because if it stretches out too long,
the process may then have to start over.
Whether to hold Saturday work sessions to hone the list was considered because it
was felt it could be facilitated by the contractor and held in a less formal situation
which could be more effective. However, it was decided the Commission would go
through the list individually, go through the list item by item at their next meeting
(January 9), and then schedule another town meeting to review the work.

Spur Highway # 1, Kenai, Alaska.
MOTION:
Commissioner Bryson MOVED for approval of PZ01-74 for a Home Occupation Permit
and Commissioner Nord SECONDED the motion.
Commissioner Bryson explained he requested the item be removed from the consent
agenda because the applicant didn't include the number of children to be at the
facility and in which lot within the trailer court the applicant resides. He noted, the
information added to the agenda at the beginning of the meeting, answered his
questions sufficiently. He added, the application conforms to the requirements of the
Code, however he was concerned the property was close to the highway and had no
fencing and which he saw as potential of a hazard. He added, the Commission did not
have the authority to speak to that issue.
Kebschull stated, she spoke to Bryson about the day care application and they agreed
the application definitely met the requirements of the Code and the day care is
registered with the state. She noted, the KMC allows eight children and suggested the
Commission may want to revisit the Code requirements and consider whether they
want to amend the city code to be the same as the state's. Goecke asked if the city
code could be made more restrictive than the state's and Kebschull answered, that
would have to be researched by the city attorney.
Bryson stated he wasn't proposing the safety aspect be made a condition of the permit,
but thought the issue should be reviewed by the city. He added, he would support the
approval of the permit.

..SCHEDULED PUBLIC COMMENTS
B-1. Robert Ruffner -- Kenai River Water Quality Results
-.
Ruffner gave a presentation on preliminary data received through a Kenai River
Watershed Water Quality study prepared by the Kenai River Watershed Forum. He
reported, in 1998 a framework for water quality monitoring was developed and in
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING
DECEMBER 5,2001
PAGE 2
1999, funding was received and the monitoring program began. Ruffner added, 13
entities were involved in the monitoring program partnership, including the cities of
Kenai and Soldotna; 20 sites were monitored from Cooper Landing to Cook Inlet; the
information was not meant to be regulatory; and he emphasized the information was
preliminary.
Ruffner stated it was important to know there are problems with seasonally high
amounts of fecal coliforms and hydrocarbons, but it was not known what was causing
the high amounts, and it warranted additional investigation. He also noted, the
collection of information and study would continue for five years, however the
immediate next step was to determine a timeframe when the amounts get high in
order to see if there are easy f~xes and try to implement them. Ruffner added, because
state standards were not being met, agencies would probably want to investigate the
issue closer.
Ruffner thanked the cities for being involved and stated he thought it was in the best
interest of the city to stay involved. He added, when the agencies meet and begin
discussing what to do in the Spring, he suggested the city have a presence.
Bookey agreed the city should stay involved as the appearance of the hydrocarbons
and coliforms in the lower river probably meant there were more problems upriver
than downriver. Williams agreed and added, he didn't want the information to be used
against the commercial fishing industry, the Cunningham Park program, or the
coastal trail project.
ITEM C:

Schnelting, wanted to vacate the premises on December 11 and they wanted to start
their contract on December 12.
Swarner noted the monthly lease rate proposed by Petrey was $1,550 through
December 31, 2006 and asked if Petrey felt they would be able to make that payment
as other lessees had come to council requesting their payments be cut, which Swamer
added, she would not support. Petr~.ey stated they were confident they would be able to
cover the costs of the lease payments.

Council had no objections.
City Manager Snow reported she, Commission Chair Knackstedt and Commission
Member Van Zee traveled to Anchorage to attend a Master Plan development meeting
for the Anchorage Airport. At the meeting, the consultant discussed alternatives
Anchorage would be considering to develop a new north/south runway, a new apron,
and increasing capacity, etc. She noted Kenai was mentioned several times during the

Anchorage airport. Snow also reported she learned there were no plans for the Kulis
Air National Guard to relocate.
H-4o
Discussion -- Update of City Logo
Clerk Freas reviewed information included in the packet which was requested by
council. The information discussed costs, time, etc. involved in developing a new logo
and copies of letterhead used over the years which indicated several different styles.

the city and also suggested a committee be formed which would include a student
from one of the local Kenai schools, and if a design is developed from there, then
utilize a graphic artist. Having a contest in the schools was also discusSed and
thought to be a favorable idea, as well as a prize for the chosen design.
Williams formed a committee to include Councilwomen Porter and Jackman and City
Clerk Freas.

H-5. Discussion -- Proposed Discounted Pay-Off of Deed of Trust Notes in
McLane Bankruptcy Cases.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING
DECEMBER 5, 2001
PAGE 6
Attorney Graves reminded Council, during the bankruptcy case, the McLane's had to
give promissory notes secured by Deeds of Trust on several pieces of property in order
to retain the property. He reported, the notes would be due September, 2004, however
the McLane's had offered to pay them off early ($361,000) and proposed a 14%
discount ($310,000) for an early payoff. He added, after administrative expenses, the
city would receive approximately 60% of the remainder and the bank would receive
40%. Graves stated he discussed the issue with the city manager and finance director
and they all agreed they would recommend the city oppose the early payoff because
they felt the 14% payoff rate was too high for the early payoff and the Deed of Trust
notes were eight percent. If the money was reinvested at this time, it would bear
about four percent interest. From a business point of view, they did not feel it would
be a good business decision and because the property is currently over-secured, they
did not feel there was a risk.
MOTION:
Councilwoman Swarner MOVED for council to follow Administration's
recommendations and Councilman Bookey SECONDED the motion. There were no
objections. SO ORDERED.
Discussion -- Schedule City Clerk, City Attorney and City Manager
Evaluations.
Swarner noted the evaluations had not been done during the last budget season and
felt they should be done as soon as possible. Council set the city clerk and city
attorney evaluations for the December 19,2001 council meeting and the city
manager's for the January 2, 2002 council meeting.
ITEM I:
ADMINISTRATION REPORTS
I-1. Mayor-- Mayor Williams noted the following:
· Requested a Council/Planning & Zoning Commission work session on
Wednesday, January 19, beginning at 6:00 p.m. immediately prior to the council
meeting. The purpose of the work session will be to hear a presentation regarding the
Central Peninsula General Hospital Master Plan and the impacts the Hospital's future
development will have on the City of Kenai, as well as the Kenai Peninsula. He would
also like notices be forwarded to all other members of commissions and committees.
Council had no objections to scheduling the work session.
· Due to funds that will become available for homeland defense, he
discussed the possibility of a new National Guard Armory being built in Kenai with the
persons in command of the National Guard in Alaska (Generals Oates and Korenek)
while in Anchorage. Williams stated his desire to have the generals come to Kenai and
tour many of the facilities in the Ci~ and discuss the possibility and need for a new
armory to be built in Kenai which would be closer to the airport for homeland security
purposes.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING
DECEMBER 5,2001
PAGE 7
Williams suggested a community lunch be held by the city with 25-30 invitees and
requested administration to provide information on property that was set aside for the
Air National Guard's use years ago and not used. Williams suggested, if a new armory
is built, the old armory could be turned over to the city and used as a community
center. A brief discussion followed regarding funds in the Legislative budget to cover
the costs of the luncheon. There were no objections from council.
· Reported that he, Councilwoman Swamer, Councilman Moore and
Assistant Fire Chief Tilly toured the Anchorage Emergency Operations Center during
the AML Conference. Williams reminded council a letter requesting funding to equip
and put into operation the city's emergency operation center at the ARFF building was
recently forwarded to Senator Stevens. Williams suggested a draft resolution
supporting the city's request for funding be prepared and sent to other cities on the
Peninsula for their consideration. Council had no objections.
I-2. City Manager-- City-Manager Snow reported she attended the Alaska
Municipal Managers Association meeting at AML and attended several very interesting
presentations regarding design/build projects, public and electronic record
management procedures and the AML Investment Pool.
I-3. Attorney -- Attorney Graves reported he attended the Alaska Municipal
Attorneys Association meeting at AML. While there, he discussed the traffic fine
collection program with other municipal attorneys. Graves also reported he would be
participating in the Kenai Peninsula School District's Mentoring Program.
I-4. City Clerk -- Clerk Freas referred to a letter from the American Legion
{included in the packet) requesting the city advertise in the Legion's program for the
83rd Annual Department Convention for the American. Legion which would be held in
Kenai in April. Freas noted no funds were included in the Legislative budget for this
purpose and asked if council wished to purchase advertising.
MOTION:
Councilwoman Porter MOVED to purchase a full-page ad and donate city pins for this
purpose. Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion and requested UNANIMOUS
CONSENT. There were no objections. SO ORDERED.
I-5. Finance Director-- Finance Director Semmens reported he reviewed the
power rates discussed at a previous meeting and found they had dropped slightly.
I-6. Public Works Managers
Komelis: No report.
La Shot: Reported the ice was in at the multi-purpose facility and noted it was
typical to do break-in tests and train for the new refrigeration equipment, however the
cold weather precluded that process at this time.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING
DECEMBER 5, 2001
PAGE 8
1-7. Airport Manager -- Airport Manager Cronkhite had no report, however
Councilwoman Porter stated her concerns with the new parking restrictions and traffic
pattern for in front of the airport terminal. Cronkhite explained, the FAA had not
given clear definition of what restrictions were to be used by airports of Kenai's size
and they were trying to be as lax as prudent. Because there had been some problems
with people following the traffic flow and parking, they were hoping to improve the
patterns through lighted signs with diagrams noting how to park, etc. so that it
wouldn't be necessary to hire people to direct the flow on a 24-hour basis. Cronkhite
also reported the issue would be discussed at the Airport Commission level for added
input.
Also discussed were concerns the current patterns were cumbersome, an
inconvenience to the patrons and that they were not developed pursuant to FAA
guidelines/restrictions. Bookey stated he wanted the maximum security with the
complacency for the community.
ITEM J:
DISCUSSION
J-1. Citizens
Robert Ruffner-- Reported the Kenai Peninsula Borough would be receiving
funding for impacts brought by the dip net fishing program. He noted, a resolution
appropriating the funding would come forward on the Assembly's agenda on January
8, 2002. City Manager Snow was requested to prepare a letter supporting the
resolution.
J-2. Council --
Bookey-- No comments.
Swarner -- Referred to Information Item No. 3, the Cook Inlet RCAC newsletter,
and noted Joe Gallagher spoke at AML about their organization's activities. She
encouraged they bring their presentation to council in the near future. Moore -- No comments.
Porter -- Requested council to approve a "day-off-with-pay" as a door prize for
the employee appreciation dinner.
MOTION:
Councilwoman Porter MOVED to approve a day-off-with-pay and Councilman Moore
SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED.
Porter also requested council to con, sider personally donating door prizes for the
dinner and would be getting in touch with them individually to that regard.

Staff present: Freas, Craig, Snow, Semmens, Graves, Kornelis, Morris, Walden
The work session was called to order at approximately 7:00 p.m. by Mayor Williams who
explained there would be no action taken during the evening and public comments would be
held at five minutes. Williams requested the audience to join him and council in the Pledge of
Allegiance and a moment of silence to remember those lives lost and affected by the September
11,2001 terrorist attacks.
Referring to her Preliminary Assessment of Potential Impacts to City Departments of Proposed
Private Prison, City Manager Snow explained the information was brief and was not in depth as
the group did not have project impact data or other factual information pertaining to project
feasibility or social economic and financial components of the project, impacts to the Kenai
community, etc. She added, the report did not include any recommendations on staff impact
preparedness or mitigation measures.
Williams noted he received copies of the Delta Junction preliminary feasibility study and a copy
of litigation in regard to that proposed project. The work session was opened for public
comments.
Blaine Gilman, 116 Haida, Kenai -- Gilman stated he was in favor of the prison and was
representing the Kenai Natives Association, Inc. {KNA). Gilman noted the following:
He reviewed Snow's preliminary assessments and reported they recognized there
were water/sewer issues that would have to be addressed, including design changes that could
make the project less expensive;
· If the proposition passed and the project moved forward, they planned on
working closely with the city and going to the Legislature to help acquire funding for the utility
costs involved with the project, including other avenues for funding that. normally wouldn't be
available (increase of per diem rate to pay for Borough bonding of the project);
They understand the utility concerns would have to be worked out to the
satisfaction of the city council;
They know a major perception of the public concerns social/public safety issues.
These issues have been researched through discussions with schools, prison, Cornell, etc. and
findings indicate less than one percent of families move to be near the member incarcerated
and they did not see this to be an issue.
· The facility, which would be medium security, would house inmates with a four
to seven-year sentence. With classification changes of the prisoners as they near their release
dates, they are moved to minimum security prisons. Those inmates who would be released in
the Kenai area would be those who committed their crimes in the area.
· He personally would not promote a project that would harm, degrade, or
endanger the community and felt the project would be good for the community, improving the
economy, offer jobs, etc.
· Requested council's support of the project.
.,
Bill Popp, 810 Set Net Drive, Kenai -- Noted the following:
COUNCIL ~VORK SESSION
SEPTEMBER 12, 2001
PAGF. 2
Explained correspondence referenced in Snow's report regarding halfway
houses, was from Commissioner Pugh who expressed there was a need for a halfway house on
the Peninsula, which had been previously discussed in 1995 and 96. Popp added, in order for
a halfway house to be developed in the unincorporated areas of the Borough, the Assembly
must agree to the placement of a halfway house, for which it had not yet been formally applied.
Tom Livingston, Livingston/Slone, Architects -- Offered a brief overview of the design
aspects of the project (he passed out information), noting:
· The facility would be situated on Wildwood property, adjacent to the Wildwood
Facility;
· There was potential of sharing some services and backup security between the
present and proposed prison;
· There is excellent access to the airport; good access to highway transportation;
close to the court system; isolated location with natural buffers; readily developable; soils are
excellent for development; it's a large parcel offering optimum security; Close to commercial
services; potential for water/sewer infrastructure from the city; site size is approximately 60
Acres.
· Maximum capacity would be 800 beds, plus 88 segregation beds and eight
medical segregation cells (448 cells in total).
· It would be a medium-security, full-time custody facility for Alaskan resident
male adults.
· No halfway house or work-release program anticipated.
· The site meets state requirements for medium-security facilities with same
safety features as a public prison.
· Transportation of inmates outside the facility would be provided by the Troopers.
· The facility was planned to be owned by the Borough and operated by a
professional, private corrections company (Cornell Corrections selected).
· The Department of Corrections solely determines the sentencing and release of
all prisoners (not the private corrections company).
· The facility would have a 72-hour diesel emergency power generation for all
security systems.
· Reviewed the floor plan of the facility and security fencing information.
· In regard to utilities, their first option would be to utilize public utilities from the
city; a second option would be to have on-site, sewage treatment, water wells, water treatment,
etc.; they anticipate 56,000 per day water usage and sewer slightly less; and for fire
suppression, a 30,000 gallon tank would be on site.
Livingston added, they understood by using the city system, they would have demands on the
utilities and because the facility would be outside the city limits, it was the city's decision
whether to provide the utilities and they would work with the city to secure funding to mitigate
the improvements needed. However, he believed the costs suggested were debatable and would
have to be worked out and they would want to be treated fairly like other industries.
Councilman Moore noted a large discrepancy between proposed water usage for the new facility
compared to the present prison facility at Wildwood, which was definitely a concern of the city.
Livingston noted their sources for estimating the usage. Livingston was also asked where the
funds would come from for the construction.
.,
Jeff Sinz, Kenai Peninsula Borough Finance Director-- The Borough would finance the
facility, following a model used by the Municipality of Anchorage, and would involve the sale of
COUNCIL WORK SESSION
SEPTEMBER 12,2001
PAGE 3
lease revenue bonds, financed through the long-term intergovernmental agreement between the
Borough and State. The agreement would reflect the pledge of the lease payments and would
be additionally secured by the facility itself. The facility would be built to state regulations atd
Davis/Bacon wages and the contractual costs of parts, labor, etc. would be the same to build it
privately as it would by the state government. However, savings could occur through the
design phase of the project because of the team of companies and the borough that would be
involved in the process.
Sinz added it would not cost more to finance it through the Borough because of the use of
lease-revenue bonds and the intergovernmental agreement between the Borough and the State,
as well as the credit worthiness of the State to make the payments. There is no pledge of full
faith and credit by the borough and the investors will be purchasing the future flow of revenues
from the State. There would be no legal obligation to the Borough to step in if the State fails to
provide the future flow of revenues.
Livingston was asked if there would be quads of cells and he answered yes, there would be four
for industrial art, etc. He was also asked where the new facility would be in relation to Chuda
House and he answered, Chuda House would be between the two prison facilities.
Councilwoman Porter asked if KNA had plans to move or change the lOcation of the Chuda
House and Gilman answered, KNA would choose a new location for the facility and build a new
one.
Gary Donley, VECO/Neezer Jr. Venture -- Donley was asked if they would be hiring locally
and he answered it was always in their best interest to hire from within the community and
they would first hire from the local community. The joint venture will control the hiring,
however he estimated over 600 carpenters and other trades would be hired for construction.
The project should be completed within approximately 20 months.
Bill Kluge, Architect -- Stated he had a personal interest because he and his four employees
would obtain employment through the project. In the 20 years he has lived in the community,
he said he had not seen a project that would offer as much economic impact to the city and he
felt strongly of the potential benefits to the community with not many negative impacts.
Mike Gillilian, Cornell Industries -- Reported he works for Cornell Industries and is a
resident of Albuquerque and has been in the area since July and would like the project to go
forward and is interested in being warden of the facility. Gillilian reviewed his work experience
and qualifications, background, etc. of Cornell Industries.
· The facility will be state-of-art from ground up and operated efficiently. All their
facilities are ACA accredited or pursuing the accreditation.
· They will offer viable vocational and education programs for inmates, working
with local training programs.
· Historically, not many families of inmates move into the community where the
facilities are located.
· In studies of Cornell it has been found they have a less likeliness to have
escapes.
· Wage packages to start for guards is $35,000/year with health/dental flex
spending plans and wage increases are based on performance. Also have 401K and stock
options.
· Their employees are urged to take an active role in the community.
· They are committed to hiring locally, will offer training, partnering with the
university and employees will be paid a stipend while going to training.
COUNCIL WORK SESSION
SEPTEMBER 12, 2001

· If Cornell lost its contract, another contractor could be hired or the state could
change the facility to a public facility.
Harold Dale -- Has been getting involved with the program and a point was brought to him the
doors are open for the community to work with inmates with rehabilitation efforts.
Gary Donley -- Community involvement is very important to them and they want to make a
difference to the lives of the inmates and their families. He suggested a community advisory
council be developed to help in the effort.
John Walters, Pastor/Church of New Covenant -- Asked if there would be family counseling
or mental health benefits in the benefit package and was told yes.
Terrence Smith, Ninilchik-- Stated concern about what would happen with the inmates in
the system. He stated he felt Cornell and the state share duplicity that is not fair to the
uninformed public and believed compromise would be very useful when discussing training,
education, work programs, etc. for non-violent inmates.
Mark Schrag -- Questioned how the list of five cities was developed that were included in the
Snow report. Police Chief Morris explained he compiled the list and some of the cities were
where Cornell was a vendor for a prison and contacted others close to where Alaska prisoners
were currently housed. He added, he looked for cities that were small and that had a
significant prison population.
Unidentified Person from Audience -- Stated in her research on the borou§h prison, she was
assured by Mayor Ba§ley that even if the prison was built and was never used to house
prisoners, the state had guaranteed it would pay the bonds. Althou§h she never found that
written, she found a May 14, 2001 letter from Commissioner Pu§h to the Borou§h Mayor
indicatin§ "the state of Alaska is willin§ to ne§otiate a transaction in which the state's lease
a§reement with the borou§h provides sufficient payment to cover the capital costs of the
project. The state, however, will only pay for those beds that it uses, as is the state's current
practice with the private prison beds it uses in Arizona. It would be irresponsible to do
otherwise. It will be left to the ne§otiatin§ phase of the project to determine what the
minimum, if any, number of beds should be; what price break should be afforded at different
levels of occupancy; and what the per diem rate should be for those beds used over the
minimum number."
She questioned the pay for usage information in the letter and was concerned that if no
prisoners were housed in the facility, the borough would have to pay the difference.
Jeff Sinz -- Stated the borough would finance the facility with lease revenue bonds; the lease
revenue would come from a long-term intergovernmental agreement between the borough and
state; and the intergovernmental agreement had not yet been negotiated but would be of
sufficient term and contain commitments to support the issuance of the bonds and the
construction of the facility. If the agreement does not contain sufficient provisions, the project
won't go forward because the borough would be unable to sell the bonds due to no bond buyers
who would be willing to invest in a flow of revenues that is not sufficiently supported. He
added, it was important to remember there were a number of key events needing to occur the
project would become a reality, i.e. HB i'49 passage; vote on the proposition; and, negotiation of
the intergovernmental agreement.
COUNCIL WORK SESSION
SEPTEMBER 12,2001
PAGE 5
Joe Malatesta, Sr., Clam Gulch -- Stated his support of the proposition and noted he
researched Cornell Industries and found them to be a very good corporate citizen. He also
noted the current unemployment in Kenai; the construction would offer 650 jobs paid Davis-
Bacon wages and would be an economic boost during construction; and the 211 jobs after
construction as reasons why he supported the project.
Malatesta also noted there were many myths and propaganda about the project and that a
citizen advisory group would be developed to run the facility. He requested council to consider
the good of the community when considering the project.
BREAK TAKEN:
BACK TO ORDER:
8:50 P.M.
9:06 P.M.
James Price, Nikiski -- Stated he questioned how a privately funded facility could be run
better than a public facility and how could it be feasible for a private corporation to do what it
promises to do. He added, he hoped council would review all the information it had been given.
Price added he tried to get answers to his questions but was unable to and thinks there is a lot
of promotional hype and no substance. He didn't think it was good to have an extra layer
between the state and what the Constitution mandates as it would be state money going into
the hands of the private corporation who say they will do wonderful things. He added, he
believed it would be better for the state to do the wonderful things.
Elsie Hendryx, KNA Vice President -- Stated she supports the project and that KNA had put
a lot of time and effort into the project and urged council to put a resolution of support
forward. She added, one reason to have the prison in the area would be because of the
number of Alaska Native people in Arizona in the correctional system and she would like to see
them here, close to their families. Hendryx noted, she believed those inmates being closer to
family would help stop the cycle.
Unidentified Woman from Audience -- Stated she believed it was wonderful that KNA was
working toward trying to help the inmates, however she questioned why it was only now they
were wanting to do something for the Native prisoners after Wildwood had been located in
Kenai for 15 years. Hendryx stated it was because they have limited access to Wildwood and
their programs.
Tom Stroman -- Stroman added, it was not until the last few years that they (KNA) had been
able to settle the land issue which took a lot of resources and time. It was asked why KNA
would think they would be good at offering programs for inmates if they have had no
background in this type of program. Stroman answered, the outreach programs would not be
confined to the prisoners as the Native associations have many programs throughout the local
and regional corporations. They had been investigating the issues for a long time.
When asked who owns Chuda House, Stroman answered it is owned by KNA but leased to
Cook Inlet Housing Authority.
Malatesta -- Read a statement from Richard Segura, President of KNA, supporting the project.
Unidentified Man from Audience -- stated he has lived in Kenai for over 20 years and was
concerned by the information on page 5 of Snow's report in regard to funding for upgrades to
the utility system. Public Works Manager Kornelis explained the current water quantity

problem and the anticipated demand from a new prison; difficulties in finding other water
sources, especially at that end of town; grant application submittals and matches; current and
future capacities of the sewer treatment plant and a wastewater facility management plan now
being done which would help answer questions in regard to current and future needs, but
would not be completed for another year.
Cherie Brewer, Chamber of Commerce Vice President -- Asked why the city didn't go to the
borough for information if, as noted earlier by Mayor Williams, the borough didn't come to the
city. Williams answered, the city had been asking for information; the facility would be located
outside of the city limits; and it was not in the purview of the city to go to the borough and ask
them what they are doing.
COUNCIL COMMENTS:
Bannock -- Bannock thanked those who were in attendance for coming and Administration for
putting together the report in a short amount of time with the large amount of information
included. Bannock questioned the comments made on the last page of the report from Parks &
Recreation about the increase of high-risk families moving into the community and asked what
that Department knew that everyone else did not know.
Swarner -- Swarner asked Kornelis if the city had already received any of the grant funds for
an addition to the sewer treatment plan and Kornelis answered no. He noted', they had made
several applications, however the Legislature makes the decision to offer funding and there had
not been any indication of when funding would be approved.
Porter -- Porter echoed Bannock's comments in regard to the Parks & Recreation comments in
the report. She stated she had asked people in the grocery store about the project and found
the biggest question people were asking was what the impacts would be to the community,
school system, etc. if families of the inmates move to the community and if inmates choose to
stay in the community after release. She noted the report answered some of the questions.
She thanked the borough for their help in formulating the information.
Moore -- Noted the council was developing a resolution for consideration and added, he hoped
council would pass a resolution in support of the project contingent upon the satisfaction of
the city that utilities will be met and a socio-economic review study to be done by the borough
be reviewed by the city.
BookeY -- Noted this project had been on the forefront for a long time and agreed with
Bannock's comments. He thanked Administration for getting the information together, but was
disappointed by comments made by the Parks Department in the report. Stated he changed
his mind over the years from his original concerns about the Wildwood Facility being opened
and believes this prison project would be a good community partner, the community will
benefit 100% with having the prison, and would support the request for a resolution.
Williams -- Thanked administration for the information collected in a very short amount of
time. Williams suggested a memorandum of understanding be mentioned in the resolution
which would be between the city and borough in regard to future issues that may arise
{city/borough, city/state issues, etc.), i.e. road maintenance, plowing, etc. He suggested the
state take over the maintenance of the ~'oad to the prison (Borgen Avenue). Williams also noted
the city has a grant to furnish library services to Wildwood and thought that would continue,
but was not sure whether such an arrangement would developed with Cornell. He noted his
COUNCIL WORK SESSION
SEPTEMBER 12, 2001
PAGE 7
disappointment those items were not discussed or worked into the agreement prior to now.
Williams added, in drafting the resolution, he wanted an open door to give the city the right to
step in and negotiate a variety of issues that will come up. Swarner noted that Borgen Avenue
is borough-maintained.
Bannock -- Stated he would like to see a resolution show clearly that the administration and
council is displaying a willingness to answer the issues, if the proposition prevails. Bannock
added, he was hesitant to pass a resolution of the council telling voters how to vote, however he
felt it was council's obligation to say, if the proposition prevails, the city will be a willing
partner.
Porter -- Stated she wanted a resolution brought forward and requested a recap of the
information to be included in the resolution. They were'
· Support of the resolution be contingent upon the city's satisfaction that utilities
issues are resolved satisfactorily to the city and the socio-economic review study is reviewed by
the city.
· Refer to a memorandum of understanding giving the city the right to negotiate
issues that may arise (road maintenance, library services).
· The borough continue maintenance of Borgen Avenue.
Moore -- Stated it wasn't his intention to tell the voters how to vote, but wanted the council to
show support of the project contingent upon the issues listed above and wording could be the
city supports the concept of a prison.
Williams -- Suggested Councilmen Moore and Bannock be assigned to a committee to develop
the resolution, but after discussion it was decided administration would draft the resolution,
according to the information received, and then circulate the resolution to council for their
review and individual comment back to. administration. Williams also cautioned all the council
not to assemble for the purpose of discussing the resolution prior to the council meeting.
It was noted the resolution would be up for public hearing at the September 19,2001 council
meeting.

Inlet Woods Subdivision, Part One
As you know, the purchase of the 53 lots referenced above by Hall Quality Builders, as well as one
other land sale, was conditioned upon the execution of an Installation Agreement requiting a
performance, labor, and material payment bond. As was reported to Council in September, the
Installation Agreements were not executed. The Administration then indicated to the bidders a
willingness to reduce the amount of the bond by the amount of the costs pre-paid by the bidders to
HEA for electrical service to the properties. Mr. Hall is now proposing an alternate agreement.
In cooperation with Archer Escrow Co., Mr. Hall proposes to enter into an Escrowed Funds
Agreement with the City of Kenai and Archer Escrow Co. The Agreement would provide, first, that a
warranty deed conveying the property be prepared and held in escrow until satisfactory completion of
the subdivision improvements identified by the City in the Installation Agreement. Secondly, the
Agreement would stipulate that Mr. Hall is personally liable for the satisfactory completion of the
improvements. Third, the Agreement would require that Mr. Hall deposit the purchase price of $180K
into a seParate Archer Escrow Co. Trust Account. When the improvements are completed in full
accord with the Agreement, the purchase price will be disbursed to the City and the deed delivered tO
Hall Quality Builders. In the event that Mr. Hall fails to complete all or any of the required
improvements by August 30, 2002, then Mr. Hall would pay $20K out of the Trust Fund to the City
and the deed would be remmed to the City.
The Administration recommends Council authorization to emer into an Escrowed Funds Agreement
with Clint Hall and the Archer Escrow Company for the purchase and improvement of 53 lots in the

KPHA Hockey Camp
As indicated in the attached letter, the Kenai Peninsula Hockey Association (KPHA) is
interested in reserving the Multi-Purpose Facility in June for a hockey school. KPHA would
contract with Mid Island Hockey Schools of Canada to operate the camp, and young athletes
from inside and outside of Alaska would be attending. The Mid Island Hockey Schools are
currently in the process of preparing their camp brochures, a sample of which is attached for
your information. KPHA would like to have the Kenai Hockey Camp offered in the brochure.
Parks & Recreation Director Bob Frates was initially concerned about potential problems that
could occur when making ice during June, e.g., the build up an ice lens, so he spoke with DR
Ice, Public Works Manager Jack LaShot, and Joel Anderson of Anderson Rinks. The
information he received indicated that the likelihood of an ice build up developing during this
time is very small. According to Bob, Mr. Anderson was very comfortable and confident
with his evaluation concerning this matter.
Thc Administration recommends authorization to enter into a Memorandum of Agreement
(MOA) with KPHA to reserve use of the Multi-Use Facility for the proposed hockey school.
The MOA would include, but not be limited to, such conditions as the payment of all costs
involved in preparing for and operating the hockey camp in the multi-use facility, e.g. utilities,
janitorial services, DR ice installation, maintenance and removal. There would be additional
conditions related to insurance, supervision, other ice rentals, etc.

Dear Mr. Frates,
The Kenai Peninsula Hockey AssoCiation would like to inquire on the use of the Kenai
Multipurpose Facility and Ice Rink.
We would like to have a hockey school the first two weeks of June. Mid Island Hockey
Schools of Canada would put on the school. This organization was our selection to use
for a school at the Soldotna Sport Center last summer and the feedback was very positive.
This non-profit venture gives our young atl~letes the opportunity to attend a quality
hockey school in the local area and prevent them from traveling outside the state to get
hockey instruction and ice time. It would also get interest from players in other parts of
the state to come to the peninsula. Because of the national advertising this organization
does with their brochures and web site, there is the possibility of skaters attending who
are from the Lower 48.
I feel the rink would be a great setting for this school. We would like to get a proposal
for the cost and use of the facility for six to eight hours a day, Monday tlu'ough Friday
each week.
Let's keep our kids home and supply them with a quality experience here on the Kenai.
Thank you for your time an.d consideration of this lnatter.
Sincerely,

Dear Mayor John Williams'
The Kenai Peninsula Borough is anticipating receiving approximately 10,000 acres of entitlement lands at
Kustatan Ridge, across Cook Inlet near the West Forelands in the near future. The borough is very interested
in working cooperatively with other entities to insure a sound development plan is created. This land will
provide a unique opportunity to enhance and expand community activities to the west side of Cook Inlet and
we would like to make sure the full potential of this opportunity is realized. For this reason we would like
your assistance and participation.
In 1998, a West Side Task Force came together to pool it's resources and create an initial draft plan for the
west side. This group did an outstanding job in working up a concept for development, which provided for
access, cooperative use of infrastructure and an overall draft plan. We would like to now carry this plan one
step further.
The Borough Assembly approved $75,000 for an engineering analysis for the west side as part of this year's
budget. We would like to have your assistance in working up a request for proposals, and working with the
selected consultant to do specific engineering analysis of the access and other issues related to development
of this project. We would also hope to identify any permitting issues that will have to be dealt with as the
project progresses.
I would like to invite your organization to participate in the West Side Development Task Force. This task
force is being charged with furthering the development of the project with technical engineering assistance.
Your input into this project will be invaluable, and I hope you or a representative from your organization will
be able to participate.
We anticipate meeting twice a month January and February 2002, then once a month thereafter until we have
a completed product. The first meeting will be Thursday, January 15th at the Kenai River Center at
7pm. Additional meetings are scheduled the same time and place on Jan 29th, Feb 14th and 28th. Please
respond to Bob Bright, Planning Director at (907) 262-4441 x305.
Thanks again for your assistance'"

Dear Carol:
The enclosed information details the many events planned for this winter's 25th
anniversary of the Peninsula Winter Games. Please take a moment to review the
sponsorship opportunities, and reflect on ho~v your sponsorship will help make these
games our best 'ever!
Not only are there tremendous economic benefits to the Kenai Peninsula community in
holding these games, there are also even greater benefits to our community as a whole in
sharing fun and wholesome winter sports as a community! I urge you to show your
support for our community by sponsoring the Peninsula Winter Games at whatever level
you are able. As an added incentive this year, sponsors who elect to sponsor the Games
at the "Platinum" level will be featured in the 2002 Peninsula Winter Games video. This
video will be used to highlight the successes and fun of the 2002 Games as well as solicit
sponsorship and support for Games in future years.
Chris Degemes
President, KPTMC Board of Directors
Thank you for your support of the Peninsula Winter Gaines. Let's work together to make
this 25ti' anniversary year a rousing success, and a tribute to Al York, who started this
dream for us to carry on. Please contact Myra Arbelovsky at KPTMC at 283-3850, for
sponsorship information.

Conxpetit~o~
This special event was initiated in 2001, and will be back in 2002, bigger
and better than ever!! 12 nationally and internationally recognized Ice
Sculpting Teams have been invited to participate in this year's competi-
tion. The Peninsula Winter Games ice carvers will transform crystal
clear blocks of ice into magical creations, guaranteed to delight and in-
spire all who view them.
February 2nd & 3rd,
2002
In the year 2002. the Peninsula Winter Games will celebrate its 25th anniver- '
sary of providing a premier winter recreational event with a multitude of activities
and events for youth and adults alike.
The Peninsula Winter Games have grown to become the Kenai Peninsula's
largest winter sports and recreation event with over 3,000 youth, adults and specta-
tors participating in over 20 different activities. The games have a special empha-
sis on exposing Alaska's young people to a variety of winter activities that they
may wish to participate in on a regular basis throughout the winter season.
The events include a youth hockey tournament, which draws teams fi'om several Alaska communities, a kid's
dog weight pull, snowshoe softball, speed skating, horse sleigh rides, two basketball tournaments featuring teams
from around the state, the State Championship Dog Weight Pull and much more. One element that has become ex-
tremely popular is the ceremonial start of the Tustumena 200 Sled Dog Race. This qualifying race for the Iditarod
has been a long time parmer of the Games and the race organizers and the mushers work with the Games to provide
special needs children the opportunity to ride in the sleds for the ceremonial start. The 2001 games saw over 20
special needs children taking part in this ever growing event.
In an effort to involve the community to a much greater degree, the games added
a new event last year. the Peninsula Winter Games Team Competition. Teams
made up of both youth and adults compete against each other for the traveling
trophy and bragging rights in events like broom hockey, tug-of-war, scavenger
hunt, basketball, softball, team Triathalon and much more. Here is a chance for
families, businesses and organizations to come together in the spirit of sportsman-
ship and good clean fun.
As the games have grown, so have their impact on the Peninsula economy. The cost of hosting the Games, in-
cluding support designated for the Tustumena 200 Sled Dog Race, is estimated at $70,000. An additional $80,000
is spent in the community by those attending the games from varying Alaska communities. This $150,000 will cir-
culate among businesses such as hotels, airlines, restaurants, gift shops, general retailers and more. It will then, on
average, circulate three times within the local economy creating an overall impact in excess of $450,000 for all
businesses like beauty salons, auto parts stores, mechanics, insurance agents, and much. much more.
It is this type of economic impact that helps our communities make it
through the winter and it is this type of exposure to winter activities that
teaches our children that there is more to do when the snow starts to fly and
the temperature drops than play Nintendo. This event happens every year be-
cause over 250 members of the community and over 50 sponsors such as
yourself dedicate time, money and resources to support this worthy event.
Your help every year is why this event has become the success that it is. We
are appreciative of all of the generous assistance and we look forward to it
again in the coming year. This packet includes all of the details that you will
need to again sign on as a sponsor of the Peninsula Winter Games. If you
would simply fill out the sponsorship agreement and either mail it or fax it
back, we will immediately begin your inclusion in all of the appropriate expo-
sure opportunities. Remember, if you desire to sponsor a particular event, they
are on a first come, first serve basis, so do not delay. Again, we appreciate
your support and generosity, and we look forward to partnering with you on
another successful event.

The City of Kenai is very supportive of the Kenai Spur Unity Trail that will link The City
of Kenai with the City of Soldotna. The pathway will be heavily used.
It is very disturbing that there is approximately 1000 feet of this pathway that is not part
of the recently awarded construction contract. Evidently, DOT/PF has not yet
purchased the needed ROW to complete this trail.
I discussed this problem with the Kenai City Council at their last meeting. The City
would like to know what DOT has planned in order to complete this trail. The City would
like the trail to be completed and not have a 1000-foot gap, which would present a
problem for pedestrians and bicyclists. I will forward your response to our City Council.

Dear Mr. Komelis'
Thank you for your letter concerning the Kenai Spur Unity Trail and the 1,000 feet of
pathway that will not be constructed as part of that project. The Depamuent had two
choices. We could put the project on hold until the property becomes available fi'om the
Bureau of Indian Affairs or construct the project with this missing segment. Due to the
interest of the communities involved, the City of Kenai, City of Soldoma and the Kenai
Peninsula Borough, the Department decided that the project should be delivered in a
timely manner.
The Department of Transportation is continuing to work towards being able to construct
this trail completely. The Department has contacted the BIA to attain the appropriate
fight-of-way. A change order will be issued if the fight-of-way issues are resolved before
construction is complete. If the fight-of-way becomes available after the project is closed
out, the segment of trail that uses the shoulder of the road for pedestrian travel will have
to be constructed as a separate project sometime in the furore.

6 Ways To Build o Top .Staff
To build a staff into a team that does the best possible
job for the organization'
+ Be friendly to staff members but don't treat them like close personal friends. They want
you to be the boss and they wont to be employees. ]Et works better that way.
+ Tell them everything. Expect them to tell you the some. Shared knowledge builds Ioyoit)
and trust.
+ Practice Pulitzer Prize plagiarism' 5teal only from the best. If you need help, reach out tc
your professional community. Someone, somewhere, somehow will know how to help.
+ Invest heavily in loyalty. ][f staff members know that you're always loyal to them, ..... ~y'li
give you the same in return.
+ Realize that fairness establishes your credibility.
+ Never be too busy to laugh. Nothing gets people through o crisis like o good laugh-and o
manager who's willing to enjoy it with them.
