Dear Mr. Kornelis-
December 20, 2001
·
I am pleased to approve the City of Kenai, Wastewater
Treatment Plant for the Alaska Occupational Safety and
Health (AKOSH) Safety and Health Achievement Recognition
Program (SHARP) for the third straight year. This is
unprecedented and reflects greatly upon you and your
organization.
The Wastewater Treatment Plant employees have been working
with the OSH Consultation and Training section since 1998
and received the first SHARP designation on August 18, 1999.
The recognition was extended on October 4, 2000 for another
year. Based on your SHARP renewal request, AKOSH safety and
health consultants conducted a comprehensive evaluation of
the site safety and health program on September 25, 2001, to
verify its implementation.
After your written verification that all identified hazards
were eliminated, the company again met the requirements for
participation in the Alaska OSH Safety & Health Achievement
Recognition Program (SHARP) .
Participation in the SHARP does not, of course, diminish any
of the rights and responsibilities provided to you and yOur
employees by the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970.
Although your site will be removed from the scheduled
inspection list for one year, employees' complaints,
fatalities, catastrophes, and significant chemical leaks or
spills at your site will still result in normal AKOSH
enforcement activities.
The award ceremony will be scheduled as soon as possible at
your site in Kenai. Krystyna Markiewicz, of the Anchorage
AKOSH office, will be working with the staff on specifics
for the SHARP certificate presentation.
If you have questions or need assistance, Mrs. Markiewicz is
your contact person. She can be reached at (907) 269-4958.
By February of each year, when you post your injury lo~,
please send to her attention a copy of your injury and
illnesses numbers and rates, your total hours worked, your
average annual employment, a copy of your most recent
evaluation of your safety and health pro~ram, and any
success stories to.

Congratulations to you, your staff, and the Wastewater
Treatment Plant employees for hard work and dedication to
the principles embodied in the SHARP. I wish you and your
employees continued success in your safety and health
efforts.
Sincerely,

Absent:
Others Present:
Osborn, Jurgensen, Jones and Fields
Hollier, Huddleston, Enfield, Nelson, Wilson
City Clerk Freas, Senior Director Craig, Councilwoman Swarner,
Roger Meeks, Sylvia Johnson and Elsie Seaman
Due to a lack of quorum, the meeting was closed. However, the group held a work
session in which the following items were informally discussed.
Announcements:
Director Craig reported the following:
· The computer lab was up and running and three classes have held which
Kathy Issak facilitated. The next beginners class will be held January 21 and
continue for six weeks.
· A work session will be held immediately following the next Planning &
Zoning Commission on January 9 to review the goals and objectives received at the
town meeting held in the fall. The seniors were encouraged to attend and participate.
· She welcomed newly appointed Council on Aging member Bill Osborn.
· Councilwoman Swarner was now the liaison to the Council on Aging.
Swarner reviewed actions taken during the last council meeting; noted the council
would be meeting with area legislators on January 4 at 8:00 a.m.; and that the
Council on Aging's interest in the construction of an assisted living facility in Kenai
would be an item that should be brought to the Planning & Zoning Commission's
attention and included in the comprehensive plan update.
· In order to provide more cohesiveness with the Council on Aging, she
suggested holding monthly meetings with the next meeting to be held on February 7 at
10 a.m. There were no concerns voiced from those present.
· She received a notice from the State asking whether the Senior Center
would be interested in being a teleconference site for senior issues. She noted, the
teleconferences would be held on every Tuesday during the legislative session, with the
first one on January 22 from 9:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. She added, the teleconferences
would be advertised; would be "listen only"; and, charges for the calls would be paid
for by the Alaska Commission on Aging. Those present supported the idea.
She suggested developing goals and objectives at their next meeting and
asked the membership to bring their ideas to the meeting.
· She, Swarner and Jurgensen will attend the Common Ground
Conference in Anchorage in January. She has applied for a scholarship for the state
to pay their expenses.
· The new four-wheel-drive "Meals-on Wheels" van was in the shop having
the radio installed and should be available for use next week.
Assisted Living Facility'.
A general conversation was held in which the group discussed the need for an assisted
living facility in the Kenai area and how and what to do to bring the issue to the Kenai
City'Council and to other citizens of the city. Comments included'
* Elsie Seaman had been asked to write an article for inclusion in the
Center's next newsletter.
· At the next Council on Aging meeting, a motion could be passed to urge
the Kenai City Council to seek funding and support construction of an assisted living
facility in Kenai.
· Seaman's article could urge seniors to attend the next Council on Aging
meeting to address the assisted living facility issue.
· Jurgensen suggested seniors be asked to submit different ideas and
comments of why it is important to them to have an assisted living facility in the
immediate area and then use that information in a "letter to the editor."
· It was suggested the letter to the editor be held until after the next
Council on Aging meeting.
· It was suggested calls be made to "Sound Off' and KDLL radio's public
forum, but wait until after the information is discussed with the City Council.
· A compilation of data be gathered to use in Seaman's article and the
letter to the editor, i.e. costs, levels of services and care, and costs associated.
Other Concerns'
Member Fields noted the following'
· His concerns for the need of additional sanding etc. Craig requested she
be notified when the seniors felt additional sanding is needed.
· Stated his concerns that there are often people in the housing facility
that no one knows and often times, the doors are left open and no one is keeping tabs
on who is entering the facility. Discussion followed in regard to changing key systems,
signing out of keys, notifying administration who keys have been given to by the
residents (caretakers, relatives, etc.) as the building caretakers need to be aware of
who people are, who has keys, etc.. Fields suggested seniors could volunteer to fill in
the hours when the building caretakers are not in the office to monitor the front door.
The work session ended at approximately 11:05 a.m.

neighborhoods. The project involved extensive
surveys of air cargo airlines to establish the
necessary runway length and benefits of the project.
The project required careful coordination with
community groups, the Air Traffic Control Tower, and
others to ensure support during a fast track

recommended a 20-year plan for airport
development and capilal improvements. He
conducted extensive tenant, FAA, public and agency

Mayor John Williams and Council Members
City of Kenai
210 Fidalgo Ave., St. 200
Kenai, AK 99611
Dear Mayor and Council Members'
Enclosed is the invoice for your 2002 AML Membership dues. You join 142 cities and
boroughs (the largest membership in the history of AML) who make up AML. We are pleased
that the League has not increased its per capita dues in over 9 years. With your continued
support, the voice of municipal government is strongly heard by the State and Federal
Administration, .the Alaska State Legislature, and Congress.
What are a few things AML has done to help your municipality?
Last year state municipal revenue sharing was increased for the first time in 17 years.
AML helped increase federal PILT revenue sharing by $9.1 Million per year for Alaska
over the past five years.
· AML helped defeat the statewide Property Tax Cap Initiative saving municipalities over $150
million per year.
· AML's Denali Commission seat helps direct over $40 million per year to energy, clinic,
EMS and other projects that benefit the state and our economy as a whole.
· Alaska's resource economy is more heavily dependent upon federal regulations than any
other state. AML actively advocates for Alaska at the national level in both the National
League of Cities and the National Association of Counties.
· In addition, AML offers' money saving municipal insurance; discounts on computers and
office supplies; great training events; .~ML publications like the Touchstone, The
Legislative Bulletin, the Alaska Municipal Officials Directory, and others to keep you in
touch with state and national issues.
As budgets get tighter, your municipality needs to join with all other municiPalities to provide a
united voice on municipal priorities. Please call me toll free at 1-877-636-1325 for further
information Or to learn more about AML policy and services.

Annual Report Card
StatewideTax Cap Defeated: Saved local control by averting $150
million loss for schools and other key local services. This was one
of the major municipal victories since statehood. AML was key in or-
ganizing and coordinating campaign in 2000.
Fe,deral PILT to Alaska Doubled: In the last five years to ~9.1 million. Payment-in-lieu-of-
taxes (PILT) increased again this year. AML and NACo coordinate lobby efforts.
Municipal Revenue Sharing Increased: For the first time in 17' years by .~1.2 million: A
small increase signals a major change is state policy toward local taxes and communities.
Community Dividend: AML helped draft legislation that may be a key to long-term local tax
relief. Concept supported by Governors Hammond, Hickel and others.
Education funding inCreased/study of school area cost differentials approved: AML
helped create the consensus to study area cost differentials/advocated for school funding.
Denali Commission: $40 million for EMS, tank farms, energy, health clinics, job training;
and economic development grants and loans. AML's seat on the Commission worked to
best meet community needs. Replacement of failing EMS equipment statewide was a major
AML/state initiative.
Pooled Power of AML Member Services: Saves municipalities millions. The AML Joint
Insurance Pool stabilizes municipal insurance prices. AML Investment Pool maximizes m-
tums on money that could be languishing in a checking account or lower interest investment.
New money- saving purchasin~ oro~ram w/NLC & NACo. AML/JIA is working on a ioint
municipal health insurance program.
Working to Protect Alaska's local sales tax from State/Federal control' Local sales tax
control important to Alaskan communities. AML is partnering with similar states to protect
against federally mandated state control of sales tax. 98 Alaska municipalities collect ~
million.
Alaskans United' Non-profit, non-partisan group is drawing the public together to discuss
the need for a balanced state budget. ^ML is providing organization, coordination, and re-
search.
Former AML leaders Move to Legislature: Widely acclaimed legislative leaders include
former AML Presidents Ken Lancaster & John Torgerson; AML Board member, Ga~
Stevens; and AML Legislative Committee Drew Scalzi & Kevin Meyer.
NLC and NACo: AML holds seats on each of these national organizations to make sure
Alaska's unique conditions are considered in national policy discussions.
Partnerships' AML is working to develop partnerships with statewide organizations from
the League of Women Voters to the Association of Student Governments.
Who Makes it Happen? You do! AML is the sum of the effort of hundreds of local officials
working together toward the same goals.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
C-1o
Resolution No. 2002-2 -- Designating Approximately 21 Acres of
Properties Informally Known as the FAA Football Field, the Old FAA
Antenna Farm, and Daubenspeck Property as "Millennium Square."
Mayor Williams requested Resolution No. 2002-2 be removed from the agenda and
refer it back to administration for further discussion. He noted, the largest piece of
the three properties, donated to the city by the Daubenspecks, is very valuable, not
only by the location of the property, but also through the royalties the city receives
through the property. Councilman Bookey suggested a portion of the property be
dedicated to the memory of the Daubenspecks. It was suggested the Native
community be contacted and asked to comment in regard to the future use of the
property, the historical value of the property, etc. The matter could also be referred to
the Planning ga Zoning Commission for their input. Williams stated he thought it
important the council be united in how the property should be used.
Administration was requested to forward the resolution on to the local Native
associations and the Kenaitze Indian Tribe for their input and bring the resolution
back to council the first meeting in March. It was also suggested the future use of the
property fit the Daubenspeck name into it, using it for the name of the street entering
the property, the naming of a building on the property, etc. There were no objections
from council.

There were no public comments. Finance Director Semmens explained the need for
the new server, noting the current interjet was no longer being supPorted by IBM and
that when it fails, there would no longer be intemet service to City Hall computers. He
added, professional help will be needed to bring the server on line; the server would be
able to do automatic back-ups to City Hall computers; technical back-up would be
manageable, at this time, without additional staffing.
Williams asked if the departments outside of City Hall would be able to use the server
and Semmens answered yes, but not for $7,500. He added, they would be able to get
their email and in an easier manner than they currently access it. He added, it was
not administration's intent to create a wide area network, however the server would

have that capability for future use. Semmens also noted, he believed this equipment
could last for five years, however new technology may drive the changing of the
equipment.

C-5o
Resolution No. 2002-6 -- Awarding the Bid for a Five-Year Contract for

MOTION:
Councilwoman Swarner MOVED to approve Resolution No. 2002-6 and requested
UNANIMOUS CONSENT. Councilman Bookey SECONDED the motion.
Randy Daly, HiSpeed Gear, 108 Deepwood Court, Kenai, Alaska -- Daly explained
his company, HiSpeed Gear bid on the copiers and their bid was found to be
unresponsive, hoWever he believed his bid was responsive when looking at what the
city wanted to accomplish, and that their bid would save the city over $20,000 over
the period of the contract.
Daly continued, they put together a bid around specific machine specifications,
however he didn't think that addressed what the city wanted to accomplish. He .
referred to copies of booklets/reports that he suggested the city wanted to be able to
put together' A document put out in an economic manner with covers. Daly stated
his equipment could do that work and cost less to operate over the course of the
contract, saving over $16,000 for equipment and financing. He added, although they
were hung on a couple of detail specifications, but looking at what the city wants to
accomplish, their company's was a responsive bid and would be the most economical.
Daly noted, when putting out a document like those he used as examples, the
machine needed a cover function (can automatically tell it to put the heavier cover
page put on the front and/or back of the document) in order to save time and effort in
assembling the documents. He added, in order to do that, a machine has to be able to
handle the heavier stocks of paper and there are a lot of specifications involved with
different stocks of paper. Daly stated he applauded the efforts of Ms. Howard who
developed the specifications because she tried to accommodate the different bidders.
Daly continued, the specifications stated "Cover Function; ability to copy various
paper weights -- up to at least 110 pound," which caused some confusion in regard to
what the machine could actually do (1) the weight of paper that can be put through it,
and (2) the ability to actually put covers on the front and back of a collated set. He
added, the problem was that the kind of paper was not stated. He explained the
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING
JANUARY 16, 2002
PAGE 5
method of how paper weight is determined, and noted, the specifications did not state
the paper type (index, astro-bright cover, bristle, etc.). He noted, the difference
between 110 pound weight and 110 pound index was rating and classification of
finish.
Daly noted, the company to whom the resolution would award the bid, reported Daly's
machine wouldn't meet the specifications and gave reasons and administration
contacted other sources and asked the difference between 90 pound index (what his
machine is rated to) and 110 pound index (what was specified) and were told yes.
Daly added, he didn't deny there was a difference, but that when producing the
documents, they meet those requirements.
In contacting the outside sources, he asked whether they knew of any federal, state or
local government requiring 110 pound index on any of their submittals, and he was
told they were not aware of any. In checking, Daly reported he was only aware of
requirements of the State Supreme Court.
Porter stated, if administrated requested 110, whether it would be used or not, that's
what was requested, however it appeared to her, from the background information of
administration's, that Unisource (outside source which was contacted) stated the only
problem they saw was that the city did not specify 110 weight index. Daly agreed, and
stated he had a specific discussion with Ms. Howard about that and his impression
from her was that it was a general capability the city wanted and he talked with her
about the ability to do 90 pound if you cross that with 110. He added, he believed
their machines could do that work.
Porter asked if that was the only area where his company did not meet the bid
specifications. Daly stated, another area was where the specifications discussed
covers and the same sentence was used for the definition for the color machine; it's
ability to put the hard cover in place in the sorter. He noted, their color machine did
not do that specific function, but. as he mentioned in his letter of clarification, their
system would. He added, training city administration would receive with his
equipment would include how to maximize the system, which would be to produce the
covers, inserts, etc. separately and then loading them into another machine and insert
them into the document.
Williams stated, administration had furnished the city council with detailed
information and found after careful review, the machines offered by HiSpeed Gear did
not meet the bid specifications and were considered non-responsive. In past issues,
with insurance, council found either a bid meets the specifications or not and that
seemed to be the issue at this time.
Swarner asked Snow if there was other information that could be provided and Snow
answered no, that council had been furnished with all the written information.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING
JANUARY 16, 2002
PAGE 6
Bannock acknowledged the information received and in reviewing the documents and
looking at the practical and technical standpoints he stated: In practicality, it
appeared the HiSpeed Gear bid was approximately $20,400 less over a five-year
period. Technically, the argument could be made that HiSpeed Gear did not meet the
110 pound definition as the city chooses to define it; and it could also be argued that
based on the ink that waS printed on the bid specification, that HiSpeed does meet it
because he can produce a piece of paper that says it's 110 pound piece of paper and
his machine can operate with it. Bannock stated there is a problem, but the practical
application of it would be $20,000 over a five-year period. He noted he did not think
the need for the 110 pound weight index paper specified would be that great' and that
the bid specifications truly meant to be 110 pound weight index and the bid didn't do
it. He added, the council would be acting as poor stewards of the city's money if the
bid were awarded.
Porter and Bannock both objected to the request for unanimous consent. Porter noted
her point in objecting was that she would vote not to award because she wanted the
city to go back out to bid and correct what seemed to be a diScrepancy in verbiage in
the bid specifications. She added, that would be her reason to vote no, and not to
award it to another company.

Porter asked if the matter could be referred back to administration to re-bid and
possibly reconsider a lesser index weight, which would be left to 'administration to
decide.

Councilwoman Porter MOVED to refer the matter back to administration to re-bid and
Councilwoman Jackman SECONDED the motion.

Williams noted, he understood the motion meant the issue would be returned to
administration to redesign the specifications and re-bidding of the entire issue. He
added, he understood also that all previous issues are now null and void and they
would start from scratch. There were no corrections to Williams' understanding.
Swarner stated she believed there should be discussion among the council members if
there is a concern about the heavy-weight paper. She noted, she didn't have a
problem with it because they were looking to future use, not just for the current year
or next year. She added, she believed that if council had a problem with the use of the
heavier paper, they should voice it.
Bannock asked administration how often 110 pound weight paper is used now or for
the future plans to use that weight of paper. Snow answered, there would be plans to
use it at some point, which is why it was inclUded in the specifications. She added,
the kind of documents Daly provided are the ones that it would save the city money in
the long run to be able to produce. She added, she did not know how many times the
heavier weight paper would be used. Williams noted, that was an administrative
decision and not a council decision. Bannock stated that if administration asked for
the specification to be 110 pound weight index, there should be a legitimate reason
why it was requested.
Porter stated she believed that was an administration decision. Bookey noted,
administration requested 110 pound paper, and he would agree with administration.
He noted, there was also a color issue in the award decisiOn as well. He noted, council
couldn't all become educated in all the aspects of the city organization, and felt the
resolution should have been passed as written.
Bannock asked Daly, if the bid specifications had called for 110 pound index, what
would he have done. Daly answered, from the back of the room, that he would have
said the specifications were being unduly restrictive. He added, in the buyer's report
on which he based his bid, there are 25 manufacturers of copiers and it was amazing
to him that with 25 manufacturers, there was no single manufacturer that would meet
the specifications requested and the bid council was attempting to award was a
composite bid of two different companies which told him the specification was not
valid.
Bannock suggested, if the bidders were brought together and a boilerplate set of
specifications was established, the issue could then be avoided. City Attorney Graves
stated, Ms. Howard contacted all the bidders ahead of time, provided them with the
bid specifications, and asked them if they could meet the specifications and all stated
yes they could.

Discussion-- Continuation of Board, Commission and Committee Terms

JANUARY 16, 2002
PAGE 12
Council referred to attendance record information included in the packet and a list of
those persons whose terms ended and who wanted to continue on their commission,
committee or board. A lengthy discussion followed regarding numerous absences of
several commission, committee or board members, the impact absences have to the
ability for the body to conduct business, and whether the ordinance governing the
allowed absences should be adhered to or amended to allow more absences, etc.
Swarner suggested the membership of the Beautification Committee be changed to
allow one or two members who live outside the city limits of Kenai. It was suggested
the makeup of other commissions also be amended to allow members from outside the
city (Harbor, Beautification, Library and Parks & Recreation), to no more than two at
the discretion of the council. Administration was requested to bring forward an
ordinance to make the necessary amendments. Clerk Freas was requested to send a
letter to Beautification Committee Member Buffington to ask her intentions due to her
numerous meeting absences.

ITEM I:
ADMINISTRATION REPORTS
I-1. Mayor-- Williams discussed the following items:
· Representatives from FAA met with members of city administration 'at
which time they discussed the airport and use of airport funding for a feasibility study
to determine the best use of the old FAA field and antenna site, and the Daubenspeck
property. Following the meeting, a letter was forwarded by FAA which stated airport
funding could not be used for economic development and that they felt the study was
premature. City Attorney Graves noted he disagreed with this finding during their
meeting and suggested the city submit a position paper to FAA to explain why the city
feels the use of the funding for the study meets the FAA rules. Council agreed they
felt it would be a good idea. Graves added, it would delay development planning, but
he thought FAA would agree with the funding request eventually, however the cost of
the study may have to be proportioned between the Airport Lands and General Fund.
· The list of suggested uses of the "Millennium Square" properties now
included a hotel/convention center, senior housing, arts and humanities, and the

· Asked if Mayor Williams would be attending the National League of Cities
-meeting in March as it may be at the time the city should visit legislators in regard to
funds for the coastal trail project, etc. Williams reported he had not made a decision
as yet whether to attend and Swarner stated she may be able to attend. Bookey
stated, going to Washington, DC in March may be premature in regard to the coastal
trail project and suggested council members make the trip when the permit process is
finalized.
· Requested candy bouquets be sent to the area legislators.
Williams a/so noted he would not be attending the Alaska Conference of Mayors
meeting in Juneau and encouraged other council members to attend. Porter-- Councilwoman Porter noted the following:
· A recent newspaper article discussed Soldotna's consideration to exempt
senior citizens on rent tax and she suggested the City of Kenai revisit the matter.
· Noted the added visibility of city meeting advertisements using some
graphics.
· Asked for an update of discussions regarding the south side of the Kenai
River and the dip net fishing season. Snow reported a teleconference would be held
later in the week with Fish & Game and the city.
· Reminded council members of the employee appreciation dinner on
Saturday and that if they wanted to donate a door prize, to bring it to the dinner or
submit it to the Clerk.
Bannock-- Reminded council and the audience the Chamber of Commerce's
Town & Gown Ball would be held on Saturday, January 26. He also reported he
would not be in attendance at the February 6 council meeting. Jackman-- No report.
Williams -- Williams reported the following:
· There were members of the Legislature who were suggesting a six percent
state sales be initiated and added, adding that to the city/borough current sales tax
would be harmful to the city. He suggested that matter be watched.
Referring to the recent newspaper article about General Korenek's visit to
Kenai and their subsequent' discussions about construction of a new armory and the
current armory being transferred to the city's ownership, he noted he had received
only positive comments. He added, in order for such a project to take place, a reason
for it had to be established and partnering with the Air Force, Department of Forestry,
Coast Guard, etc. would be very helpful. He asked council's consideration to move
forward with establishing the partnerships. Consensus of council was to move
forward and administration was requested to begin corresponding with Generals Oates
and Korenek noting the council's desire to move ahead and who they suggested to
contact that may help in designing a footprint for a new armory. Williams suggested
the development could include a hangar for a C-130 and Black Hawk helicopter, paved
road, utilities to the site, etc. He also requested administration investigate the value of
the property and whether it can be offered for $1 since the city would be dealing with
the government.

{arrived at 6:51 p.m.)
Freas, Graves, Snow, Semmens, Cronkhite, and La Shot
Glick, Osborne, Nord, Peters, Eldridge.
Williams noted, the reason for calling the work session was to hear a presentation
from members of the Central Peninsula General Hospital (CPGH) Board of Directors
and Administration regarding the future growth of the hospital and how it will affect
the city. He introduced Diana Zirul, President of the CPGH Board and Jay Siegfreid,
CEO at CPGH.
Zirul explained the Board was trying to establish the need for health care in the
hospital service areas -- what it is now and to what dimension it may be developed --
through developing a strategic plan. She added, the Board was also investigating the
development of a facility master plan that would address structural improvements,
systemic improvements, space needs, changes in technology and community needs for
the existing hospital and surrounding property.
To assemble the development information, the Board has entered into a consulting
agreement for preparation of the strategic and facility master plans which will also
include a medical staff development plan and business plan.
It was noted, the updating of the existing hospital would take place after the
construction of outlying buildings, in a campus configuration, on property
surrounding the hospital. After the transfer of medical, surgical, etc. to the new
buildings, the existing building would be stripped and improved and would be used for
administrative offices, cafeteria, wellness center, etc.
It was also noted approximately 50% of the hospital's service area is from Kenai to
Nikiski and they are investigating the placement of a clinic, including out-patient
surgery, industrial medicine, radiology, etc. in the Kenai area which will require
approximately eight to ten acres with a greenbelt on which to build it. Williams
suggested the hospital work with the private sector for land as it was not the city's
responsibility to provide the property.
The total cost for the construction/remodel, etc. has been estimated to be $50-60
Million. To collect community support for the bonds that will be required, they will be
doing community surveys, utilize focus groups, and investigate funding options
without raising taxes. If the bond package is passed in 2002, they estimate the main
campus construction/remodel will take from three to five years and the Kenai portion
would also begin w/thin that timeframe. It was also noted, the adjoining property from
the newly constructed state/borough health center would not be big enough for a new
clinic as area is needed for parking, g~eenbelt, etc. They will be hoping to construct a
one-story facility because of floor space is lost when elevators and stairwells are
required. Also for the ease of moving patients, equipment, code changes, etc. and
because a more costly foundation is required when building multi-story buildings.
Williams requested city administration identify available property (public and private)
within the city of ten acres or more in size and forward that information to CPGH.
The work session adjourned at approximately 6'59 p.m.

CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS
8:00 A.M.
Williams, t3ookey, Swarner, Porter and Jackman
Freas and Snow
Senator Torgerson, Representatives Lancaster and Chenault
The purpose of the work session was to meet with area legislators to discuss the
upcoming legislative session. The Legislators were asked what matters they expected
would be discussed during the session. On the Senate side, they were:
· State shortfall
· Airport security, highways, Yukon Bridge on Dalton Highway
· Using GO ~bonds for a school package
· Reapportionment and the election in the mix will make more pressures
for legislators to make decisions.
· Federal projects for the Peninsula are down from two years ago. The
next big project will be the road reconstruction around Cooper Landing. Work is still
continuing on the Seward reconstruction and small secondary roads, i.e. North Road
expansion.
On the House side, they were: · Homeland security
State budget
· Fiscal plan, though it was thought not much action would take place due
to reapportionment and election. They will need to be careful not to blame everything
on 9/11.
· Not much will happen in regard to the fiscal gap, but a lot of research
and study will take place. The key to success will be having triggers written into the
budget so that each year they move closer to resolving the problem.
City/Council concerns were discussed as follows:
· There's not anything overwhelming the city is promoting other than what
is included in AML's program.
· The city's request list was forwarded and bluff erosion and water well
issues are the first priority. It was noted the city was having some problems with the
permitting agencies. An intergovernmental agency meeting will be held to review each
concern individually. There is hope some of the concerns will be dismissed
summarily. However, it may come to a point when the Legislators will be called on for
support and to put pressure on the agencies.
· An assisted living facility in Kenai is very important to area seniors. It
was suggested contact be made with Alaska Finance Corporation, although they will
require a feasibility study and application. It was noted, the city needed to decide
their position in regard to responsibilities in constructing, administering, etc.
Partnering with private groups was suggested.
· Bluff erosion project

ARFF/SRE CO #3- lighting changes
Attached for your review is proposed Change Order number three for the referenced
project. This change order increases the contract to G & S Construction in the amount
of $5051.00 and has been approved for funding by FAA.
Since the construction of the project started, the City Administration has discussed the
benefits of changing the proposed high-pressure sodium lighting in the bay areas of the
building to metal halide. We now believe the quality of light would improve in these
areas with the proposed changes and the costs to make the changes are appropriate.
Changing later would not be cost effective.
We would like to seek approval from the City Council at the next meeting. If you need
further information, please let me know.

Jack,
The FAA has reviewed the proposed change order and justification. It is
understood that the lighting will be changed to incorporate metal halide
fixtures. Based upon our review of the justification~ the. increased costs
appear necessary and reasonable. The FAA concurs and agrees with this recent
change order associated with the Kenai ARFF/SRE facility (AlP grant
3-02-0412-2600).

Termination of Leases - James H. Doyle
James H. Doyle currently leases six lots in Gusty Subdivision for the storage of trailer vans.
He has requested to terminate four of the six leases. Attached is a report showing the terms
and rent of Mr. Doyle's leases as well as a map of the area.
Mr. Doyle's leases state, "Leases in good standing may be canceled in whole or in part at any
time upon mutual written agreement by Lessee and the City Council."
Mr. Doyle is current in payments to the City and Borough.
Attached for City Council's approval is a draft Termination of Leases agreement that has been
reviewed by the City Attomey.
Regarding future use of this property, it is in the runway protection zone and the FAA
recommends the area remain free of obstructions. FAA has allowed short-term leases with a
90-day cancellation clause providing the use has no effect on the airspace or navigational use.

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

· Item 14.20.32 l(f), seventh line, end of line -- change "official" to

· Item 14.20.32 l(f), tenth line -- remove "of the administrative official" in
order for the sentence to read, "Appeals from decisions under this section..."
MOTION TO AMEND:
Councilman Bannock MOVED to make the changes as recommended by the city
attorney and Councilman Frazer SECONDED the motion.
Moore stated he would not support the ordinance as he believed the ordinance singled
out bed & breakfasts and conditional use permittees. He stated he would support it if
the ordinance was directed at all businesses in the city being in compliance.
Councilman Bookey stated he agreed with Moore and would not support the
amendment. Williams stated he would support the ordinance, however questioned
who should have the authority to revoke a permit for which a discussion followed.
Bannock noted, because there was no authority for anyone to revoke a permit in the
zoning code at this time, the ordinance was not removing authority from anyone, but
designating the Commission to do it.

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

>since had many cities embrace this concept as a way of expressing community
>spirit.
>
>I would like to introduce myself. My name is Ann Kantor, and I am the
>Cofounder of Quilts Group. We would like permission to proceed with the
>making of your City's Historical Quilt. There is no cost to the City or
>Chamber and Quilts Group does all the work.
>
>After receiving your approval, Quilts Group mails out invitations to local
>businesses to join this historical project. The fee for a patch is $159.00
>and to commemorate their participation each business will receive a color
>poster. The quilt is designed to hold twenty historical images; a maximum
>of 100 business logos and will measures 9 feet by 12 feet. The quilt can be
>downsized to accommodate the number of businesses that participate. Each
>quilt we sew is different, as we use the city's colors and try to find
>fabric that reflects its history. Afterwards, the quilt will be gifted to
>the City and Chamber. We believe the quilt will become one of your most

Linda L. Snow, City Manager L~~
(A) South Side Dip Net Fishery: In response to resolutions adopted by both the
City Council and the Borough requesting action by the State of Alaska Department of
Fish & Game (ADF&G) to provide for environmental protection dudng the dip net
fishery at the south side of the mouth of the Kenai River, the ADF&G contacted the
,administration and roquestod a tel~confomn~ to discuss potontiai solutions. Tho
teleconference was held on January 17"~ with three State officials, Keith Kornelis,
Bob Fmtes, Lt. Chuck Kopp, and myself. A number of mitigating solutions were
discussed; for example, the construction of a facility to control access and provide
parking would help immensely with fee collections waste disposal, enforcement,
emergencies, etc. ADF&G requested maps, aedal photos, and other information to
assist them in examining the issue further, although they indicated that the
construction of such facilities worn unlikoly to obtain permitting. ~o resolution to the
problem was determined dudng the meeting; however, the Sports Fish Division
ropmsentative, Mr. Bob Clark, indicated that he is taking steps to increase their
enforcement and education programs related to this fishery.
(B) Ul~staim Remodel Project: Now that we have neady completed the
downstairs remodel project, staff has been meeting to 'determine what changes might
be undertaken to get the most efficient and beneficial use of the vacated space
upstairs and to accomplish the goals set last year regarding the upstairs noise level.
Fortunately, them are no huge changes being contemplated as you can see from the
attached diagram of what has been generally agreed upon (also included is a current
diagram for comparison purposes). We have estimated the costs at approximately
$20K and believe the work can be accomplished by the end of this fiscal year, within
the parameters of this year's budget, and in the same manner as the downstairs
project. If Council agrees with this approach and plan, the Administration will
proceed within the month.

PUBLIC COMMENT
John Nelson stated that he does not support a lower Kenai River boat launch at
this time, as it would exacerbate an already crowded area of the river.
NEW BUSINESS
A. Cooper Lake Dam Relicensing- Process Introduction, Steve Padula & Tom
Baxter, Longview Associates
Chairman Ted Wellman passed the meeting over to Charles Quarre for this
section of the meeting. Steve Padula introduced himself and his associate, Tom
Baxter, who have been retained by Chugach Electric Assoc. (CEA) to help
prepare for the FERC relicensing process. CEA has to file for relicensing no
later than April 2005 with the current license expiring in April 2007. The first
step is to talk to local, state and federal agency staff, local environmental groups
and the public, and take the recommendations from this outreach program to
CEA so that they can develop an effective relicensing process.
Questions from the Board followed.
Janette asked if the Cooper Landing community would be involved in the
outreach process. Steve Padula: yes, they will include local Cooper Landing
citizens and representatives of groups.
Kenai River Advisory Board

Bill asked if it would be their responsibility to recommend alternatives to the
formal process for relicensing to CEA, and when might a decision be made?
Steve: yes; they want to provide CEA as much useful info as possible. He
hopes for a decision early next year
B. Kenai River Recreation Use Monitoring, Dr. Greg Brown, APU
Chris provided a brief background on the idea to conduct a study that would
evaluate recreation use on the Kenai River, and why a study is needed. The
Kenai River Comprehensive Management Plan recommended a study to identify
sources of conflict and make recommendations to reduce that conflict. Funding
previously available through the Department of Fish and Game was
reappropriated last spring, so new funding must be identified. The Recreation
Use Study Committee has discussed some ideas and recommended investigating
a focused, efficient monitoring program that would utilize assistance from the
Alaska Pacific University. Chris invited Dr. Greg Brown to the meeting tonight
to discuSs his ideas with the Board.
Dr. Brown: He made a pitch that any agency that manages recreation, ought to
be doing recreation inventories. Ideally, an extensive, accurate baseline
inventory should be done first, followed by routine monitoring to check activity
levels compared to the baseline. He understands that informal monitoring is
being done, but a more systematic monitoring program is needed. Dr. Brown
recommends that we implement an annual low cost monitoring assessment of
different user groups on different sections of the river.
Dr. Brown discussed the use of GPS units, which would provide a real time
record of speed and location over the course of the river. The "patterns of use"
of boats on the river would emerge once the GPS coordinates are plotted on a
map. Those patterns could establish "norms" of use for both private and guided
boaters that would show the diversity of use and patterns similar for particular
user groups.
Dr. Brown related how routine monitoring done by the National Park Service on
the Ozark National Scenic Riverway is done annually for about $6000. He
believes that for a similar amount, we can conduct interviews of users and
manage the GPS units to collect spatial boat use, so it would be relatively
inexpensive and capable of being done each year. That would be a far better
approach than conducting a big, expensive study just once eve.ry decade or so.
Dr. 'Brown also stated that as a scientist, he feels that this monitoring effort
would have an important public relations value. It would show the public that
the managers do care and that they want to know what people think about
managing the river.
Questions from the Board followed:
Janette asked if a statistically accurate sample could be obtained with only 10
GPS units. Dr. Brown: the objective here is not to obtain a statistical number of

samples, but rather to get a handle on "river use patterns" and the relative density
of boats by getting as many views as possible with the available money.
Ted asked about conducting a video monitoring pro.am. Dr. Brown: He
favors this idea, which would use a camera at popular fishing holes to tape
footage of boating encounters. This would document behavior, and it would
need to be determined whether the observed behavior was within or outside the
"norms". The video footage could also be used in an educational program to
educate people about appropriate or inappropriate behavior. He stated that this
would be best used as an educational tool, and not as useful for policy makers to
draw inferences from.
Paul asked if the on-site interview questions have been developed. Dr. Brown:
has some ideas on this; thinks we should use some of the questions from the
1992 Carrying Capacity Study so that we can compare. He offered to help
develop the survey with us.
MOTION: Janette moved that the Board proceed with designing a
monitoring program as outlined by Dr. Brown. Bill seconded.
Discussion followed. Jim G stated that the committee could work on the survey
with some help from Dr. Brown, and then the Board could approve the survey
questions. Paul is very interested in seeing that the on-site interviews are done
well.
Vote on Motion: all in favor.
Ted thanked Dr. Brown for sharing his knowledge with the Board.
OLD BUSINESS
A. Board Vacancies
Motion: Paul moved that the Board accept the applications from Dave
Westerman and Roland Maw, and forward them to Commissioner Pat
Pourchot for consideration. Seconded by Jim G.
Vote- all in favor.
B. Lower Kenai River Boat Launch Proposal, Chris Degernes
Chris provided a brief background on this proposal. Money was appropriated by
the Legislature in May to purchase a 10 acre parcel upstream from Cunningham
Park for the purpose of constructing a boat ramp. That parcel has wetlands
across the entire river frontage so other parcels were evaluated, and a set of four
lots immediately down stream from Cunningham Park were identified as a
possible alternative. That idea has not been well received among fiver interests,
despite the fact that the Kenai City Council recently passed (by a narrow margin)
a resolution supporting the construction of a boat ramp at this new site.
Kenai River Advisory Board
November 15, 2001 Meeting Minutes
Page 3
During the discussions since May, a few other alternative sites were suggested,
but most would not be well suited, for various reasons. Chris had prepared a
written briefing paper to evaluate the alternatives so that the Board could make a
decision tonight.
Ted asked the Board whether they thought the Comp Plan supports this idea or
not. Discussion followed.
Janette has heard a lot of sites described, and the parcel below Cunningham
seems to be the best. Would it be possible to recommend that the launch be
managed for drift boats only?
Ted: one of the first decisions the board should make is whether a new ramp is
desired or not, and then decide what restrictions should be placed on the site.
Deric' the Legislature appropriated funds specifically for a certain parcel; are
we confidant that they would accept an alternative location? Chris: informally,
the answer has been yes, as long as the site could and would be developed for a
boat launch.
Paul asked Linda what the City Council thinks about a drift only launch idea.
Linda' Council did not address drift vs. power, but this discussion did come up
at Commission meetings and there seemed to be support for a drift only launch.
Linda stated that they heard extensive opposition regarding a new ramp from
neighbors who live in the area.
Charles noted that the Comp Plan does not call for many additional recreation
access facilities.
Jeff: Cunningham never had a very good gravel boat ramp. If the intention is to
replace what was there, that might not be too bad. He does not support a full
fledged boat ramp. He asked Linda if the City had plans to expand the City Boat
Ramp facility? Linda stated that she is unaware of plans for this.
Paul feels that a new ramp might actually increase impacts from the dip net
fishery if new access is provided. He supports the idea for a drift boat take out,
but does not like the idea of building a ramp just because there is money
available.
Jim G agreed with Paul that a drift boat take out is important, and he does not
support a ramp that is open to motorized use.
Janette also supports the drift boat only idea, to take people off the river.
Ted thinks it would be consistent with the Comp Plan to provide access to the
public in a responsible manner, and encouraging non-motorized use would not be
harmful to the river.
Kenai River Advisory Board
November 15, 2001 Meeting Minutes
Page 4
Larry Marsh, ADF&G, offered some information on fishing use: total sport
fishing effort has been relatively stable over the past five years, with a steep
jump in the personal use fishery. He has observed a slight increase in drift boat
fishing, particularly as result of the Monday drift only fishing restrictions. He
feels that a new take out for drift boats would result in increased participation in
this section of the river by drift boaters.
MOTION: Paul moved that the Board supports a boat ramp take out for
drift boats, but not for power boats. Seconded by Bill.
Discussion: Rick questioned whether it would be worth the money to purchase
property and build a take out for a limited number of users. Janette stated that
she is not convinced that a ramp is needed but if we have to have a ramp, it
should be for drift boats only. She recognized that drift boats did lose their
opportunity to take out. at Cunningham when it was rehabilitated a couple of
years ago. Janette asked Paul to withdraw his Motion so the Board could first
decide on whether they support a ramp or not. Paul and Bill agreed, and Janette
made a new motion: Recommend to DNR that a ramp on the lower river is
not desired.
Vote: Yes: Janette and Charles; No: Ann, Linda, Rick, Jim, Bill, Ted, Deric,
Paul, and Chris; Abstained: Lance and Jeff; Motion failed.
Paul reintroduced his previous motion: The Board supports a boat ramp take
out for drift boats, but not for power boats. Seconded by Bill. Paul indicated
that this would mean a limited facility that is less developed than the concept
design.
Vote: All in favor except for Linda and Rick, who voted no. Motion passed.
C. MP 45-60 Sterling Highway Project Report
i. Stakeholder Sounding Board Report, Janette Cadieux
Janette provided a brief review of the Stakeholder process. A new variant has
been added to the mix: the Russian River'Variant, which extends the Cooper
Creek Alternative to cross the Russian River near the powerlines before it
transitions back to the river for a crossing back to the existing alignment.
The stakeholders have been discussing criteria to help determine which
alternatives should be retained for further analysis. They will meet in January
to finish the criteria development.
Bill is concerned that the alternatives should be designed to minimize the
threat of a spill to the river. He proposed that the Board write a letter to DOT
asking that all alternatives be designed to minimize the threat to the river.
Charles is concerned that truckers might not want to use a bypass with a 7%
grade during the winter, so would still be traveling through Cooper Landing.
Kenai River Advisory Board
November 15, 2001 Meeting Minutes
Page 5
Linda stated that all the cities on the Peninsula, at Rep. Lancaster's request,
are recommending to DOT that they should upgrade and improve the road in
any areas where a spill might occur that could shut the road access down, as a
road closure would be harmful to the cities.
Ted asked if there was any opposition to Bill drafting a letter to DOT from the
Board? None was noted.
Ann stated that she would be abstaining from any votes on this issue as she has
a conflict of interest.
D. Kenai Coastal Trail Update
Lance provided a brief update on this project, which would serve to stabilize the
riverbank below the City and construct a pedestrian trail along the toe of the
slope. He stated that ADF&G is concerned that this is a substantial project at the
mouth of the river, and it is not known how it will affect salmon resources. They
need additional information before they can proceed with the review.
Linda agreed that the City would need to provide additional information to the
resource agencies. Their consultant has consolidated a list of all the information
needed by the agencies, and is now working on developing a recommendation to
the City on how to proceed. The City is prepared to work with the agencies in
answering their questions.
A. Committee Reports:
i. Commercial Operators Committee
Suzanne Fisler provided the committee report. They haVe developed new
permit stipulation language to define abusive and offensive verbal behavior,
plus added a non-discrimination clause. The Committee has assisted Suzanne
in fine-tuning the annual letter to guides and setting up orientation dates.
Suzanne reported that annual use reports have not all been submitted, so
operators who do not submit them by the due date will be issued written
warnings. In the future; they may be cited for not providing this information as
required. Other agencies need the data, so it is more important now to receive
this information on time.
ii. Water Quality Committee
Charles provided the report for this newly formed committee. The Committee
established its purpose: "To maintain broad community support for
continuing baseline water quality monitoring of the Kenai River watershed.
Ensure that regular water quality monitoring occurs with a systematic and
scientifically credible approach to data collection and analysis. To address
water quality concerns that arise as the result of monitoring." Charles asked
for Board support of the committee purpose.

Charles also recommended that the Board become involved in a renewal of the
MOU between the local, state and federal agencies. The MOU has been
revised to reflect a 5 year review, as desired by federal entities, and this was
supported by the Committee. Charles recommended that the Board write a
letter to all the MOU participants asking for their continued support.
Ted recommended that the Committee provide a copy. of the revised MOU and
draft letter for the board to consider at its next meeting.
B. Kenai River Center Update, Suzanne Fisler
Suzanne provided a brief report. The fuel tanker truck that overturned in Cooper
Landing in early Nov. spilled fuel onto lands designated for KRSMA, so Parks
will be very involved in the cleanup and permitting effort. She will keep the
Board posted on this long term effort, and will provide a full report at a later
date.
PUBLIC COMMENT

lief: Two-F. old; Civic-Public-Interest-Request
January 17h, 2002 A.D.
"Greetings", I hope the b,st of the holiday-season remains with you &
your community as. we continue, to enter the threshold of this New-Year. As you know,
Alaska's 43~a birthday was January 3rd, of this month and, I've a '~vo-fold" civic public
interest request to make of you, seeing a very strong thread of"common-interest" related
to both itema. It's my hope, your favorable response will advance the City's interests.
Priority: "ASAP~.'N'~~ ~
The interior 1903 established "Golden-He, art" City of Fairbanks was founded
(11/10/03) 36-years after tho 1867 Treaty of Cession (1867-1903). Next-year will
be Fairbanks & twin City, Wrangell, Alaska's Centennial-Year (2003). Along with
(private & Public) civic organization's & club's centennial-year celebrations approaching
on the calendar's near horizon, state-wide, important dates, events and activities arc
noteworthy of s~cial attention.
As it pertains, almost a century (92 yrs) after the 1867 Treaty of Cession, Alaska
became the 49ai State 43-years ago, after ratification (7/7/58) and after enactment (1/3/59)
of the Alaska Statehood Act, which "contains" your Constituted State Statute: [MINES &
MINING] Section 28.(A)(1) 90% land-based economic entitlement provisions regarding all
federally designated lands in Alaska and the "extraction" of non-renewable natural resource
commodities such as, subsurface mineral oil & gas. For which, in-"return" for the lease of
these lands & taking ofresource~s in development, production & commercialization the
people of Alaska, through their State government, WOuld receive ". .90 per centum "..
Clearly stated in the Alaska ("National") Statehood Act, of "agreement"'
Section 28.(A)(1):
"90 per centum thereof shall be paid by the Secretary of the
Treasury to the State of Alaska for disuosition by the legislature thereof:"
In following this common-"interest", it was the Alaska Territorial Government's 1955-56
Territorial Constitutional Convention which convened here in the interior, at the University
of Alaska Fairbanks Campus (la-Campus est. 1917), which crafted our State's Constittrdon
making Statehood poss~le 92-years after Cession., 43-years ago (i86'/-1903-1959-2002).
5-years after Statehood in 1959, the Fairbanks North Star Borough was created in
1964, encompassing the 1903 est. City of Fairbanks & 1953 est. City of North Pole. Just 3-
years after the (FNSB) formed, Alaska's Centennial celebration arrived to commemorate
the "Centennial" of the (1867-1967) Treaty of Cession, a park was founded.

It may be, perhaps one of the only parks within our State & Nation which was specifically
dedicated in grateful'remembrance of Alaska's in-grafting, t?om Imperial (Tsarist) White
Russia, 135-ago? The signffieanee of this instrument can only be appreciated in-view, of what
may have otherwise been, a very differem political "landscape" here on north America's
largest peninsula. Especially, since only 5-decades after (50- rs. 1867-191_2)
,, ,, . · . . . Y the Great Land
was ceded, copmus volumes ofunmaagmable suffenng 8: innocent blood was shed as
athehm's carnivorous beast was "let-loose" in the form 0fMarxist-Communism, upon the
world.
Worthy of additional-mention, is the fact that (1867-1971 ) Aboriginal Bom Native
Alaskan-Americans used (Article III) the 1 g67-Treaty of Cession to help assert the 12/18/71
("ANCSA') Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act which was signed by 3 7~' Pres, Nixon 12-
years afler Statehood allowing official U.S. retroactive-recognition of pre- t 741 & "pre- 1867"
aboriginal ancestors indigenous to this land, thereby, authorizing the ANCSA-Regional
Corporations & Village Corporations a land-based inheritance where land selections where
initiated throughout the State!
Returning to the "two- fold" request let me mention the following.
In 1967 a "CENTENNIAL" park was established, it's spirit, was one of historical agp~ciafion,
thankRdness & deep-"gratitude' and can be identified by all thc historic items it contains
~~,~._e_~_ti~, Alask~a's..uzff, o. ldi~g, history (Park/Museum). One: example ofnmay, the rail-car
rres, warren ~. ~aramg used, when he visited the Territory 56-years ~ the 1867 Treaty
of Cession in 1923. Arriving at Alaska's coast by steamship he then traveled by .rail north into
the int~or, where the constitution was later written. He was responsible for the formation
of the office which is known today, as the (GAO) U.S. Government Aeeotmting Office. He
"refi~ed" to succumb to the desire of international operatives to have the U.S. enter the
"League of Nations" (today's UN) and additionally designated the (ALASKA) National
Petroleum Reserve (NPR-A), bringi~ us elo~r to the pohat!
The 1967 est. (Al~and)~park, wa~ recently named "Pioneer-Park". Some recalle& that
before changing it to Alaska[and it was previously-named Pioneer-Park, became stale, and was
thus, "changed". So, round-robin we-go... Pioneer-Park alone is an in-complete name, it's not
characteristic nor does it exemplify the park's'true nature, spirit, original intent and meaning.
It's recently been suggested that,, adding one or two words would give thc name & park a .more
welcome sentiment and allow this interior community a "Centennial-embrace", as in 1967.
Comfortably, lhis small modification would not require withdraw of the name Pioneer-Park.
Inviting a name modification, I w~s told it was a good-idea which, might be considered, upon
heating some additional supportive "in-pm". I thought, you'd appreciate & respond to this call.
Because of this park's unique local, state-wide & nationally combined history through
what it contains, it is not beyond your local civic public interest & scope to make a favorable
comment! Without the 1867 Treaty of Cession, we would have no-State Constiunion,
no-State, no-Statehood Act and 'hao"-$ee.28.(A)(1) 90% provision & no- 1971 ANCSA. Your
community and those aWn'ming intere~ in the Statehood act's 90% provision,, are being asked
'to make positive-"eommenf' in a show of gratitude, by suggest/ug, the following additions be
eonsiderefl, as logical "additions" to Pioneer-Park to complete the incomplete name. They are:
Alaska s Centenmal Ptoneer Park. Or "Centennial Plo "
neer Park

consideration, as a matter of larger public-int~est & concern regarding the combined, local,

In the second-part of this two-fold request, I attended the 1/15/02 7:00 pm USDIdtLM
hearing on federally-desired land in. Alaska, the National Petroleum Reserve Alaska
(NPR-A). It concerned new-efforts, which, should certainly concern you, as a principal party
of owne~p-interest in the Section 28.(A)(1) 90% provision. Being a Public-Incorporated
political subdivision of the State of Alaska your community (City) owns a significant
proportional "share" of royalty revenue derivable from any subsurface min~, oil or gas
exploitation and or "extraction" taking place, regarding the extraction of mineral, oil & gas
n.on-renewable natural resource- "extraction". When you passed you//Public Resolution,
you claimed your City's official econo.rnic-"interest" in these precious commodities.
In Alaska's Fairbanks District Recording Office your//Public Res. (.lurisdictional
Claim-Of-Interest) was filed, it falls under the State of Alaska's Dept. of Natural Resources.
Where the N'PR-A hearing was held your//Public Resolution was also filed; U.S. Dept. Of
Int~or's (Northern Region) Bureau of Land Management. Please prepare for it's duplication
& distribution.
From the article's pg.B-2 Fairbanks Daffy News-Miner 1/15/2002 issue,
you're to believe, federal expansion into the NPR-A is for management of "peregrine falcon
habitat", other birds & paleontological (areheologieal) resource sites. Key to understanding the
map & article is'"division" & sub-division, divide to subdue control while diminishing all other
"interest". The article states: "The BLM is looking for ideas on how to oversee public use of
nearly l 0 million acres of North Slope property." This distractive-tactic, rakes your mind "off"
Alaska's federal-land & your 90% controlling interest in the "whole" National Petroleum
Reserve which, Pres, Harding designated, and was later codified by the 85~h U.S. Congresses'
7/7/58 ratification & 34u~ Pres, Eisenhower's 1/3/59 enactment of the Alaska Statehood Act's
Constituted State Statute: [MINES & MINING] Sec. 28. (A)(1) 90% entitlement provision,
transferring this (Providential) land-based "interest" to the people & communities of Alaska.
BLM stated: "we're looking for issues, concerns and information as it relates to resources,"...
Under the article's illustrated subjugation-"plan" (divide, sub-divide & subdue), control of
legitimate interest is diminished or, arrested-away from flae principal party of ownership
(90%) interest, Alaska's nual & urban people & comm~ties.
Following a principal-approach (in passing your//Public Resolution) you acted consistent
in protection, representation and preservation of your City's jurisdictionally legitimate land-
based economic entitlements as a City, which retains "standing" in relationship to the NPR-A
(BLM's subdivisions: NE & NW Planning Areas & Colville .River Special Area ). The "whole".
Whe~ viewing this issue, you mu~t keq:~ the ~pectiv¢ of the "whole" ~arply in-sight 8t ~
fim~... "Why", you might ask? Well, re~ th~ article, the BLM-"plan"-as-¢omplctcd for the
NE portion ofNPR-^, cl~rly cr, ab~shed provisions "..-m~ foroil ~nd ga~ l~a~ ..."
PROm ' l he Riaska Freedom Counc! 1 FI=IX NO. ' 9074575096 Jan. 18 2002 03'51RM P4
Worth literally, "billions" as disclosed in earlier (FDN'M- Pages A-1 & A-5) article dated
3/3/200 l, its articulated: "90% of the bonuses, royalties and rentals" as Congress wrote in Sec.
28 of th.e Alaska Sm. tehood Act of 1959". The'l-paragraph, g-word sentence reading: "T~he
should speak, "volumes" as the State's
Legisauve ~ession begins 1/14, taxes ensue, services are reduced, a fiscal "gap" is foisted, the
PFD denied by 7-800.oo ($) and "plans" to access that account, places all-Alaskans under further
economic burdens unintended, by our Statehood Act's 90% provision, it being specifically
established, for "you". The elderly, some bom & raised in Alaska 20-years be~bre Statehood will
not qualify to receive a Longevity Cheek from the State, because the program's been "abolished"
tbr those not of age. All this & more awaits those communities, people & local-leaderships, who
wi. Il n.o~ pursue and reasonably ask, "Where's our 90%7" Where has it gone; where is-"it'
going? And who h~s "it"? '
And therefore, please copy your//Public Resohne (Jurisdictional-
Claim-Of-Interest) and immediately, by certified-mail send a copy of it to: U.S. Dept. Of
Interior BLM #1150 University .Ave. Fairbanks, Alaska 99709 and, give them further
"notification" your City has not relinquished it's jurisdictional ownership interest in any part
of the NPR-A; nor, have you granted any release of ownership interest as a principal pan7 of
ownership interest, as a Public-Incorporated political subdivision of the State of Alaska with
entitlement under See. 25.(A)(1) 90% provisions oft he Alaska StatehOOd Act.
Reauest #2 bF 1/30/2002-
.... I _ I II Ill -- I
Dtning the January 15~, 2002 meeting at 7 pm, I specifically mentioned your City
and its recorded Jurisdictional-Claim-Of-interest as represented by your Public Resolution.
You need to immediately "tbllow-up" asserting your legitimate "recorded" interest in this
provision. Remember, you-must-show-"pursuif' and "due-diligence" to preserve your City's
distinctively unique relationship to this provision, GO! Enclosed by fax, are the eommtmities
so far, which have "a~ed" their interest in Sec. 28.(A)(1) 90% provisions. It's my hope,
you will all be richly rewarded. God-bless you,. and thank-you for your time, its appreciated
very much. P.S.-Please send me a "copy" of your letter of suggestion to FNSB Hon. Mayor,
Mrs. Rhonda Boyles.

HOW LONG? Resident of unincorporated suburb of Kenai for 4% years

E-MAIL ADDRESS: thejaybob@aol.com
EMPLOYER: Kenai Convention and Visitors Bureau
JOB TITLE: Communication and Special Event Manager
NAME OF SPOUSE: None
MEMBERSHIP IN ORGANIZATIONS: Board member of PicEle Hill Public
Broadcasting, licensee of KDLL 91.9 FM. Board member of the Kenai River Council
on the Arts.
PAST ORGANIZATIONAL MEMBERSHIPS: President of Dillingham Arts
Council, member Bethel Council on the Arts, member Yukon-Kuskokwim
Mink Festival board of directors.
COMMITTEES OR COMMISSIONS IN WHICH YOU ARE INTERESTED: It
would be my pleasure to serve on any committee or commission the city
council deemed me fit for. My order of preference, however, would be roughly
Harbor, Parks and Recreation, Airport, Beautification, Library, Aging. Since I
do not reside within city limits, I am not qualified for Planning and Zoning.
This may change, as I am actively seeking a residence here.
WHY DO YOU WANT TO BE INVOLVED WITH THIS COMMISSION OR
COMMITTEE? My interest in serving on the Harbor Commission comes
from my affinity for waterfronts. I feel very, very strongly about the
Kenai Sea Wall. I grew up within a stone's throw from the Dillingham
waterfront, and sadly saw thousands of linear feet of my hometown
washed into the Nushagak River, taking homes of friends in the
process. In fact, the place where my mother's childhood home was
would now be nearly a mile into the channel, 100 feet in the air. I do
not think $10 million or microbial fish food should be a barrier to
preserving the heritage and character of our city, and would work
tirelessly in seeing the sea wall completed.
As for Parks and Recreation, I think the city of Kenai's parks are a
treasure. I would be interested in seeing small neighborhood parks
built, perhaps through a partnership with the homeowners in those
areas to enhance their quality of life and reduce the cost to the city. I
also would like to see more public art in our parks.
My interest in the Airport Commission does not come from any
professional affiliation with aircraft or the air transportation business,
but rather a love of, and interest in, aircraft.
My interest in the other;'c°uld be described as an interest in seeing the
citizens of our fair city continue to be better served.
WHAT BACKGROUND, EXPERIENCE, OR CREDENTIALS DO YOU
POSSESS TO BRING TO THE BOARD, COMMISSION OR COMMITTEE
MEMBERSHIP? I am very familiar with the issues before the city of
Kenai, and most of its committees and commissions through my four-
plus years covering the city for KDLL radio and most recently the
Peninsula Clarion. I knOw most of the people involved in many aspects
of the city's operation and am familiar with meeting and hearing
procedure. The other boards I have sat on have given me extensive
experience in hearing people's concerns and reacting fairly and
honestly to them. I am a good listener, can comprehend complex issues
'well, ant;t know how to a~estiOns. I work well with others.

1. Spreading yourself too thin by trying to do too m~ny things
at once. 5u££estion: You must set priorities for each day and,
if necessary, each hour. (Get the most important things done
first.
2. Being afraid to delegate. 5u££estion: Convince yourself
that it's not necessary to do everything yourself. You can still
be certain things are being done the way you want them to be
when you del~ate.
3. Not wanting to soy "no" to requests. 5ug£e~tion: You can't
say "yes" to everything without getting in over your head.
Decide what you must do and want to do and soy "no" to all other
requests.
4. Being tied to the phone. 5ug£estion~: Have others screen
your calls. Use an answering machine when you don't want to be
disturbed. Schedule a telephone hour to return calls.
5. P~ocrastinating. Suggestions: Get those unpleasant chores
done first-if they're important. Divide large tasks into smalle~
ones. Reward yourself when you accomplish something.
