A request had been made to proceed wit the process and the Commission reviewed the information and recommended it be forwarded to council for consideration. · A request for placement of a Challenger Center kiosk at the airport terminal was reviewed.

Williams requested council to bring a resolution forward to officially identify the old FAA properties and Daubenspeck property as "Millennium Square" or other appropriate name. He explained, he believed it would be advantageous in identifying those properties as one specific name when discussing it in the Comprehensive Plan as.well as other projects. Council had no objections to Administration preparing a resolution to identify the properties as "Millennium Square" and bringing it forward for council consideration at the January 16 meeting.

Komelis also reported the Commission reviewed information presented by Robert Ruffner to the council in regard to their ongoing study of watershed quality in the Kenai River. A brief discussion followed in which Williams stated there had been comments in the community about the contamination found in and around Cunningham Park and questioning whether it was the proper site for a boat ramp. With this information, he felt it was still important administration discuss other sites for the boat ramp other than Cunningham Park. Williams also noted a culvert in the Cunningham Park area was freezing over and causing some flooding in basements. He requested Administration contact Delores Garcia for more information and to help in determining whose responsibility it was to attend to the concern.

Library Commission -- Councilman Moore reported the minutes of the December 4 meeting were included in the packet.

Bannock reported the Commission discussed three suggestions for a site for a BMX/skateboard park: Barron Park, along Lawton (old fire training grounds) and Ball Field area (adjoining the old dump site in Section 36). He noted the Commission favored the Ball Field area, believing it had room for developing a track, as well as access and parking space. Bannock added, building of a BMX/skateboard park would be a severE-year project. Because the site had once been a dump site, concerns were noted there could be some timeline requirements before the property could be developed for recreational purposes. Williams also suggested the area could incorporate a runway, etc. for a model airplane club. Bannock reported a request had been made by KPHA to use the multipurpose facility in June for a hockey camp which the council would consider later in the meeting.

Approval-- Special Use Permit/Airport Terminal -- Challenger Learning Center of Alaska Fundraising Kiosk. MOTION: Councilwoman Porter MOVED to approve the agreement with the Challenger Learning Center with placing a kiosk in the airport terminal and Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion. Bookey stated he did not think it was an appropriate function to be taking place in the airport; that if such a function is made available to one non-profit, it would have to be made available to others; and that the city already donates to the organization through waivers of building permits, etc.; and, that it was tacky to have a machine collecting quarters. Bookey stated he would not support the motion. Porter also stated she didn't think the function was appropriate and that if it is made available to one non-profit, it would have to be made available to others. She added, KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 19,2001 PAGE 6 she would not support any non-profit putting this type of kiosk in the facility. suggested the kiosk be placed at the Challenger Center. Porter Williams explained the kiosk, in collecting donations, also offered a science demonstration. He noted, the Center purchased the kiosk from the Imaginarium in Anchorage. He suggested council adopt a policy of how many kiosks and limit the time that would be allowed at the airport. , Asked if other non-profits were using the airport terminal for similar functions, Airport Manager Cronkhite stated there were none. Bookey stated his concern the kiosk would not be secure in the building after close of business and Cronkhite reported a guard is on duty checking the terminal and other airport properties, but she could not guarantee the guard would be in the facility during the time between the last night flight and first morning flight. Jackman reported the Airport Commission voiced the same concerns during their meeting when they reviewed the application. She added, she felt it was a good form of advertising of the Challenger Center and suggested limits be set for such permits. Porter stated she would support placement of this type of function in the terminal if limits were set and suggested the policy structure should be forwarded to the Airport Commission prior to approving the permit for the Challenger Center. Steve Horn, Executive Director, Challenger Learning Center -- Noted the kiosk was presently housed in Cronkhite's office is a very nice piece of furniture made of oak and plexi-glass. Moore asked if the placement of this kiosk, advertising the Challenger Center or other non-profit, would be against the contract the city now has with the advertising firm. Attorney Graves stated he didn't think it would be primarily used for advertising and not a conflict with the advertising contract which identifies the airport manager as the person who would resolve those types of disputes. Bannock stated, in using a Special Use Permit, it allows the number and time limit of kiosks, etc. to be decided on a one-by-one basis by council and he didn't think a new set of guidelines and policies were needed. It was noted the Special Use Permit had a one-year limit which was determined by code. Bookey stated, even after listening to the discussion, he had a problem with the kiosk being at the airport to "extort money" from people at the airport and thought it wrong to place one there. He added, the city supports the Center with other funding and he was disappointed in the organization for bringing the request to the city. VOTE: KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 19,2001 PAGE 7 Porter No Bannock Yes Jackman Williams Moore Yes Yes Bookey No Swarner Yes Yes MOTION PASSED. Discussion -- Proposed Escrowed Funds Agreement with Clint Hall and the Archer Escrow Company for Purchase and Improvement of 53 Lots in the Inlet Woods Subdivision, Part One. City Manager Snow explained the referenced sale was conditioned upon Hall Quality Builders executing an Installation Agreement requiting a performance, labor, and material payment bond and that she reported in September that Hall did not execute the installation agreements. The city then indicated its willingness to reduce the amount of the bond by the amount of the costs prepaid by the bidder to HEA for electrical service to the properties which didn't happen either. Hall was now offering an alternate agreement. Snow continued, Hall was proposing to enter into an Escrowed Funds Agreement with the City of Kenai and Archer Escrow Company. 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 in the installation agreement; second, the agreement would stipulate that Hall was personally liable for the completion of the improvements; and third, the agreement would require Hall to deposit the purchase price of $180,000 into a separate Archer Escrow Co. Trust Account. When the improvements are fully completed according to the agreement, the city would be paid the $180,000 and the deed would be returned to Hall. If Hall fails to complete all or any of the required improvements by August 30, 2002, he would pay a $20,000 penalty out of the Trust Fund to the City of Kenai and the deed would be returned to the city. MOTION: Councilwoman Swarner MOVED that the council authorize the administration to enter into an escrowed funds agreement with Clint Hall, Hall Quality Builders and the Archer Escrow Co. for the purchase and improvement of 53 lots in the Inlet Woods Subdivision, Part I. Councilwoman Porter SECONDED the motion. Graves noted the Archer Escrow company was locally owned and was insured; it was not so much the bond fee that Hall was concerned about, but that the bond company requires a financial review of the company and because Hall had not had to borrow a lot of money over the years, he didn't necessarily have those records together. The cost of acquiring the records and to put the information together would increase the cost for him. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 19,2001 PAGE 8 Moore asked if the August 30, 2002 date was a final date and Snow noted, it was the date Hall requested and is in the draft contract. Moore asked if Hall doesn't complete all of the work, but a portion of the work, by the deadline, what would happen. Graves explained Hall would have to prepay HEA the entire cost of the improvements and the work would be done to HEA's schedule. If the work was in progress and not done, Graves added, he believed the city would extend the contract due to good faith performance effort on the part of Hall. Graves continued, he believed the court would be reluctant for Hall to forfeit all the money if he was exercising the contract in good faith. Moore stated he was concerned, from other comments made to' him, that contractors get HEA to commit to putting utilities in ahead of time based on selling lots. He added, he didn't think he had to prepay HEA. Graves stated, there were instances where the cost is discounted because there could be 100 new customers, or where the contractor would pay and HEA would rebate money to him. However, HEA will have a schedule for when they are to complete the work and if they are not close, the penalty clause would come into effect. Graves added, he believed the window of risk was acceptable and Snow noted, administration felt it was acceptable. Williams stated he thought the concern would be whether the utility companies would complete their work to schedule. Bookey agreed and added, it would behoove Hall to be sure the utilities were placed by the deadline or it would be he who would lose $20,000. VOTE: There were no objections. SO ORDERED. H-7o Discussion --.Request for Memorandum of Agreement with Kenai Peninsula Hockey Association for Use of the Multi-Use Facility for a Hockey Camp in August. Snow referred to a memorandum and letter included in the packet explaining that the Kenai Peninsula Hockey Association (KPHA) was interested in reserving the multipurpose facility in June (agenda noted August and was corrected to be June) for a hockey school and would like to contract with Mid Island Hockey Schools of Canada to operate the camp. A copy of Mid Island's hockey camp brochure was included in the packet and Snow noted, KPHA wanted to advertise their proposed camp in the brochure. Snow added, in talking with Frates, La Shot, DR Ice and Joel Andersen, she learned the facility was capable of making ice in June, there would be a very small likelihood of ice build-up developing during that time, and Andersen stated he was very comfortable with the issue. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 19,2001 PAGE 9 MOTION: Councilman Moore MOVED to approve the Memorandum of Agreement with KPHA and Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion and requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. H-So Discussion -- West Side Development Task Force/Kustatan Ridge Williams referred to a letter from Mayor Bagley who explained the borough was anticipating receiving approximately 10,000 acres of entitlement lands at Kustatan Ridge in the near future and that a West Side Development Task Force was formed in 1998 to create an initial draft plan for the development of the properties, i.e. access, cooperative use of infrastructure, etc. The letter also invited the city of Kenai, as well as others, to participate in the West Side Development Task Force. Williams stated he thought it very important the City of Kenai be involved in this development plan as Kenai could become the gateway to Lake Clark National Park. Williams asked for a council volunteer to attend the meetings and keep the city involved and knowledgeable of what was being planned. Swarner stated she would attend the first meeting and Williams requested she attend and report whether she felt a staff member or council member be assigned to attend the meetings. ITEM I: ADMINISTRATION REPORTS I-1. Mayor -- Williams reported he discussed the ARFF' facility where PRISM is housed with Snow and requested she prepare a resolution of support for funding for development of a command center to be housed at the ARFF building. He added, they also discussed modification of the contract with the University to acquire approximately five acres of the land included in that lease for additional space for storage and parking for PRISM. Williams noted, a PRISM representative stated they would build a storage building. He added, there would be a cost (to the city) for clearing the property and paving. 1-2. City Manager -- City Manager SnOw reported the following: · Administration began the bid process for Dottie Fisher, d/b/a Alaska Best Travels earlier in the fall and the process was placed on hold by Fisher due to the September 1 1th attacks. Fisher had now requested the process proceed and the bid schedule was in the packet, as well as a draft Of the bid specifications. She noted, if council had no objections, administration would proceed with the process. There were no objections stated. · The draft budget schedule was included in the packet for council's review. Budget hearing dates would be set at a later council meeting. Attorney-- No report. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 19,2001 PAGE 10 1-4. City Clerk -- Clerk Freas noted a letter from the Kenai Peninsula Tourism Marketing Council, Inc. requesting a donation toward the Peninsula Winter Games. She noted $500 was budgeted and in the past council sponsored the ceremonial start of the Tustumena 200. Porter suggested items that had already been approved and placed in the budget should not have to come before council for approval again. Freas noted she did not feel comfortable making a decision of what event to support for council. Because some hockey events would be taking place at the multipurpose facility, as well as a grand opening of the facility during the Games, it was decided Parks & Recreation Director Frates would advise Freas of what event the city would support. Finance Director-- No report I-6. Public Works Managers Kornelis: No report. Springer {for La Shot)' Reported on the progress of the downstairs office remodel and noted the job should be completed by February 1. Airport Manager-- No report. ITEM J: DISCUSSION J-1. Citizens Jay Barrett, Box 821, Kenai -- Explained this would be his last meeting reporting for the Peninsula Clarion and that he had taken a position at the Kenai Visitors & Convention Center as the communications and special events coordinator. J-2. Council Bookey-- Wished everyone happy holidays. Swarner-- Noted the following: · Thanked Barrett for his reporting efforts. · Requested signs be placed along Spur Highway indicating the location of city hall. * Requested administration to review the areas for BMX parking in relation to stabilization and quality of the ground. · Thanked the Library and Friends of the Library for the recent Open House. · Asked if the city had a Community Watch Program and Chief Moms answered no, and that there had not been any interest shown in developing such a program. However, there were several neighborhood watch programs within the city. · Appreciated the cross-country ski trails marked and groomed. Moore -- Thanked Barrett for his reporting efforts and welcomed his replacement, Marcus Garner. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 19,2001 PAGE 11 Porter-- Noted the following: · Thanked Barrett for his fair reporting. · Stated her concern a BMX track would not be developed for the next several years and noted, the Parks & Recreation Commission discussed the matter and hoped one could be developed in the spring. She requested administration to investigate developing a track on city property in the spring. Williams noted that if a track was combined with a skateboard park, it would take several years to develop and would be expensive. Porter requested the issue be investigated in order to do something in the interim. Bannock -- Thanked the Senior Connection for the poinsettia. Jaekman -- Also thanked the Senior Connection for the poinsettia and congratulated Barrett on his new position. Swarner noted she had requested Clerk Freas contact the area legislators and ask them to indicate a date on which they would be available to meet with the council prior to leaving for Juneau and the start of the legislative session. Because only two legislators responded and no dates were suggested, she asked council to set a date. Council selected January 4, 2002 at 8:00 a.m. for a breakfast meeting to be held at . Charlotte's Restaurant and requested the Clerk to pass on the invitation to the legislators, including Representative Scalzi. Discussion continued in regard to development of a BMX track and it was noted one could be easily developed. Bookey suggested that if the old dump site property was being considered, the dump site itself should probably not be disturbed, but develop the property on the periphery. Bannock stated his reason for suggesting that property was that the overburden could be leveled and grassed and used as a soccer field. He suggested the property could be developed slowly, starting with a BMX track as there would not be a lot of disturbance to the ground. Bookey suggested the old dump site could be used as a parking lot. Williams a/so noted he had been contacted by the Lion's Club in regard to a drag strip. He noted, Soldotna had divested itself from the Club using the airport as a drag area. He added, there were a wide variety of activities needing space. EXECUTIVE 8~SION- Evaluations of City Clerk and City Attorney. MOTION: Councilwoman Swarner MOVED to convene in an executive session of the Council of the City of Kenai, concerning matters that tend to prejudice the reputation and character of another, i.e. annual evaluations of the City Attorney and City Clerk. Councilman Bookey SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 19,2001 PAGE 12 EXECUTIVE SESSION BEGIN: BACK TO ORDER: 8:45 P.M. 10:10 P.M. Councilwoman Swarner reported the council met in an executive session to do the annual evaluations of City Attorney Graves and City Clerk Freas. They were both positive evaluations. ITEM K: ADJOURNMENT The meeting adjourned at approximately 10'1 1 p.m. Minutes transcribed and prepared by: Carol L. Freas, City Clerk JOINT WORK SESSION KENAI CITY COUNCIL/KENAI AIRPORT COMMISSION DECEMBER 13, 2001 KENAI CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS NOTES Mayor Williams called the work session to order at approximately 8:55 p.m. The followirig participants were present: Council Members: Commission Members: Commission Members Absent: Staff: Bookey, Swarner, Bannock, Porter, Jackman, Moore, Williams Knackstedt, Bielefeld, Holloway, Haralson, Elson, Van Zee Kleidon City Manager Snow, Airport Manager Cronkhite Fire Marshall Baisden, Finance Director Semmens, Department Assistant Harris As requested by Mayor Williams at the November meeting, the following topics were explored' . Request of information from bulk fuel providers for a policy on special rates for bulk fuel users (more than 1,500 gallons a month). Airport Manager Cronkhite responded to this directive and reported the following: · Fuel providers do not currently have a set policy. · If fuel users provide a specific proposal on how much fuel would be purchased, the providers could provide more information. . Target a specific time period for the runway extension that will enable the Float Plane Basin runway extension by means of materials site designation. Airport Manager Cronkhite provided the Airport Capital Improvement Program (ACIP) schedule. Cronkhite pointed out this schedule is only for general programming and project funds have not been appropriated or obligated. The ACIP schedule currently lists runway extensions for 2002-2003. , Determine the cost of collecting the currently taxed aircraft vs. potential revenue generated by additional tenants paying a fiat-tax or exempted tax. Finance Director Semmens provided the participants with a breakdown of potential impacts for hypothetical $100,000, $50,000, and $25,000 exemptions. Additional information was provided for various property tax situations and comparisons for the years 1998 and 2001. The participants spoke extensively regarding the information and the overall small amount of tax being charged; 47 out of 57 tenants are charged less than $300.00 per year. The participants discussed at length the following items concerning the taxation issue: · Councilwoman Jackman stated she felt strongly the Kenai Airport should institute an advertising campaign to inform and educate the public of the services offered. · Councilwoman Porter suggested Kenai team up with Seward to approach the Borough regarding a flat tax rate. This, she stated would be more equitable. CITY COUNCIL/AIRPORT COMMISSION WORK SESSION DECEMBER 13,2001 Page i of 2 · The participants discussed the merits of stimulating business in order to attract more tenants and receive more tax payment. · ERA Aviation has the most property at the Kenai Airport and pays more than $15,000 per year in tax. However, ERA does all of its mechanics and fueling in Anchorage. The participants discussed the issue of gaining more business from ERA and the larger companies. · The participants agreed a census should be taken to both find out why people have left and to inform aircraft owners of the services offered at the Kenai Airport (snow plowing, security, float Plane basin, maintenance, etc.). The census takers will determine aircraft owners by tail numbers and will locate the owners in person. An additional census may be taken by phone or mail. · Commissioner Haralson suggested contacting the Kenai Community College to inquire if a business or marketing class would be interested in conducting the census. · The Airport Commission agreed to develop the list of census questions. · Mayor Williams asked the finance administration to look further into the taxation issue. The work session adjourned at approximately 10'10 p.m. Notes prepared and transcribed by: Sharon Harris, Department Assistant CITY COUNCIL/AIRPORT COMMISSION WORK SESSION DECEMBER 13,2001 Page 2 of 2 I-.- o n,' 0 LU Z CO 0 I- a. 0 LLi · 0 z INFORMATION ITEMS KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 2, 2002 o . , , 12/26/01 Public Works Department, Project Status Report. 2002 State of Alaska Gaming Permit Applications a.
