TO' KENAI MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS FROM' RICKY GEASE, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, KENAI CVB DATE: JULY 11, 2002 REI UPDATE FOR THE I~NAI CVB AND THE KENAI VISITORS AND CULTURAL CENTER Kenai CVB' Enclosed in the packet is the July edition of"Eye on the Kenai," the Kenai CVB quarterly newsletter, with visitor information inserts "2002 Kenai River Dipnetting,' "KVCC CaIendar of Events," "Summer Interpretive Program Schedule," "Free and inexpensive things to do in Kenai," and "Things to do in the central peninsula." A story of interest is the 10- 15% decline in the independent travel market across the state of Alaska this season. The Kenai CVB Board directed me to assist in the effort to win the bid for the 2006 Arctic Winter Games for the central peninsula. The bid packet is due October 15, and I am assisting on the cultural committee. The games are one week in duration, from Sunday to Saturday, and would draw an expected 5 to 6,000 visitors to our area. The cultural committee is working on the welcoming reception at the Kenai Airport, the opening (Sunday) and closing (Saturday) ceremomes and the evemng cultural activities Monday- Friday. A preliminary informational meeting on a borough-wide transitow occupancy tax was held in June with the directors of the Kenai CVB (myself), the Soldotna Chamber (Justine Polzin), the Seward Chamber (Helen Marrs), the Homer Chamber (Dorotha Ferroro) and KPTMC (Dm Garson), as well as representatives from the Kenai Peninsula Borough, Assemblyman Pete Sprague and KPB Community and Economic Devetopmem- Jack Brown. The next meeting is scheduled for August 9 in Kenai to further explore this issue. Along with other non-profit organizations across the state, the Kenai CVB is awaiting new regulations pertaining to gaming. The state is revising its gaming regulations to tighten up language and definitions. The new regulations may affect how the Kenai CVB and the Peninsula Oilers interact with each other in regards to Bingo/Pull-tab operations at the Oilers Bingo Hall. Gaming revenues currently account for about one-third of Kenai CVB income. www.visitkenai, com 11471 Kenai Spur Highway · Kenai, Alaska 99611 · (907) 283-1991. Fax (907) 283-2230 · E-mail. kcvb@alaska.net Kenai CVB renewed its community marketing partnership with ATIA, the Alaska Travel Industry Association. Kenai, Soldotna, Homer and Seward are all ATIA community marketing partners on the peninsula. The cost for Kenai CVB to be a commumty marketing partner this year is $6,370. The Kenai CVB website, www. visitkenai.com, continues to be a popular with visitors. From the first of March through the end of June, 45,000 unique visitors came to Kenai's travel website. The vast majorities of visitors click through to member businesses or participate in the "Golden Leads" program for area businesses. The success of the website is one reason why area businesses are interested in becoming new members of the Kenai CVB, which has had 44 new memberships this year. Kenai Visitors and Cultural Center The Kenai Visitors and Cultural Center this month received a Gram-in-Aid from the Alaska State Museum. The grant, for $6,000, will fund one person for a year to work on the condition reports for all accessioned objects in the museum collection. There are now over 2,000 objects in the city ofKenai's museum collection. The grant will address a critical need in the museum, as none of the objects has ever had a complete condition report done on it, and this is a fundamental component of caring for objects in a museum collection. A student from Kenai Peninsula College anthropology department will be hired to work on this project. Kasilof resident Mary Margaret Casey has made a significant donation to the city's museum collection. An eight volume set'of first edition Captain Cook's Voyages of the Pacific have been generously donated. A gift in value of over $20,000, the donation of these very rare books is a major addition to the collection. The Kenai Visitors and Cultural Center received a $3,000 grant from the Kenai River Sportfishing Association to underwrite the Science on the Kenai summer interpretive program. Held each Monday in June, July and August, area speakers discuss natural history and science research on the Kenai Peninsula. The programs are very well received by visitors. Over 1,000 students participated in the arts education program conducted in association with the summer art exhibition "Spirit of Alaska: The Inner Landscape." Local art educator Debbie Hams did an excellent job of designing the art education cumculum and then leading students through the exhibition. Daniel Ogan, who work Emerson's Dream was purchased and donated to the city of Kenai museum collection by Phillips Alaska, will be featured in a solo exhibit of rune works of art this fall at the center. After a two year summer hiatus, Alaskan videos are once again being shown at the 'center. Fourteen different videos are being featured this summer and are shown twice a day, at noon and 5 pm, and also on request. Many thanks go to Councilman Bookey for renewing the push to have videos shown at the center for visitors during the summer. The 1964 earthquake video "The Day the Earth Shook" continues to be the most popular with visitors. AGENDA KENAI CITY COUNCIL- REGULAR MEETING JULY 3, 2002 7:00 P.M.

Motion for Introduction MOTION: KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING JULY 3, 2002 PAGE 3 Councilwoman Swarner MOVED to introduce Ordinance No. 1961-2002 and Councilwoman Porter SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO OI~DE~D. C-2b. Motion for Second Reading (Requires a Unanimous Vote) MOTION: Councilwoman Swarner MOVED for a second hearing on Ordinance No. 1961-2002 and requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. Councilman Bookey SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. C-2c. Motion for Adoption MOTION: Councilwoman Swamer MOVED to adopt Ordinance No. 1961-2002 and Councilman Bookey SECONDED the motion. There were no public comments. It was noted the ordinance would appropriate funds to cover the increased costs for the purchase of insurance (above what was projected when the budget was drafted); the additional funding would add $82,736 to the budget deficit, bringing that total to approximately $268,636. The purchase order added to H-2 to Brown Agency would cover their broker fees, as well as the cost for the insurance. Williams noted, it was the first meeting ,of the new fiscal year and the deficit increased already. Bannock disagreed, Stating the additional cost of the insurance would have been paid regardless of the deficit and didn't feel it was fair to tie the two together. Bookey asked if there were any major changes in limits to the liabilities. Semmens requested Doug Brown of Brown Agency, the city's broker to speak to the issue. Doug Brown/Brown Agency -- Stated they thought they had a goodly, portion of the city's insurance locked in on a three-year rate, however the company that had locked that down gave a 60-day notice of cancellation on their policy. After that, they totally renegotiated the plan, both coverage and companies. Major changes were property deductible ($5,000 to $25,000), mobile equipment {$5,000 to $10,000}, and machinery {$5,000 to $10,000). Additionally, there was a zero deductible on general liability and police/professional liability coverages, increasing to $10,000 per occurrence. Also, the $1,000 deductible on auto liability increased to $5,000 deductible. Brown added, public officials liability coverage increased from $5,000 to $15,000 deductible and workers' compensation went to $25 million; they are in the process of finding an additional policy to add to that amount to bring it to statutory limits. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING JULY 3, 2002 PAGE 4 Discussion followed regarding insurance pools and potential liabilities with them. Brown explained, there are two pools in operation in Alaska, i.e. Alaska Public Entities Insurance and Alaska Municipal League/JIA. The AML/JIA is an assessable pool and can assess their members retroactively; the Alaska Public Entities is set up to absorb losses. He added, there is hazard in being in pools, but he felt the city was in the better pool to the respect that if the pool becomes insolvent, the city would absorb their own claims, but not any others. The only other direction would be to go back into the commercial market, but those premiums would be approximately 100% higher than those currently paid. Williams asked if Brown anticipated further increases in premiums next year and Brown answered, yes. Williams noted the actual exposure to the community in regard to the city's assets increased because the city's assets increased over the years. Williams noted, the insurance issue was a good example of the city's costs increasing and funding to cover those costs has to be found without cutting services to the public. VOTE: Moore Jackman Yes Yes Yes Porter Williams Yes Yes Bannock Bookey Yes Yes MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. C-3. Resolution No. 2002-48 -- Reaffirming its Support of the State of Alaska DOT/PF in its Effort to Properly Construct a Safe, Separated Pedestrian and Bike Path Along the Bridge Access Road. MOTION: Councilman Bookey MOVED to approve Resolution No. 2002-48 and Councilwoman Porter SECONDED the motion. There were no public comments. Public Works Manager Komelis stated a copy of the signed resolution would be forwarded to the Department of Transportation and Wince- Corthell-Bryson for their records. Bannock stated he was concerned the condition of the pathway would be lessened the further from the road bed it is to be placed. Williams stated he felt that was an engineering problem and Bookey agreed. Bookey added, the city needed to support the fact the bike trail will be built and it was the Harbor Commission who requested council update their previous resolution of support, specifying a separated pedestrian/bike path from the roadway for better safety. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING JULY 3, 2002 PAGE 5 MOTION TO AMEND. Councilman Bookey MOVED to amend the resolution by inserting "...in its effort to property "engineer and" construct a safe..."

Council on Aging -- Swarner noted, the July meeting had been D-2o Airport Commission-- No report. D-3. Harbor Commission -- Bookey noted the next meeting would be held on Monday, July 8, 2002. D-4. Library Commission -- Moore noted the July meeting had been cancelled, althou§h the Library's newsletter and calendar were included in the packet. D-5. Parks/i~ Recreation Commission -- Porter reported a special meeting was held on July 25 to discuss the City's conditional use permit application to include outdoor recreational activities at the multipurpose facility. She noted, the Commission unanimously supported the approval of the permit. D-6. Planning/h Zoning Commission-- Bannock reported on actions taken at the June 26 meeting and noted: The Commission's resolution for the conditional use permit adding outdoor recreational activities for the multipurpose facility property failed. There were a number of neighboring property owners speaking against the permit, but their comments were specific to noise from the skateboard park. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING JULY 3, 2002 PAGE 7 · A variance was approved for property across the road from the golf course and, as noted in the packet, a letter of appeal was received from Brad Zubeck, a neighbor. It was also noted, a letter requesting the appeal be revoked was received from Zubeck and added to the agenda at the beginning of the meeting. · The Commission reviewed a draft of the recreational zone and scheduled a public hearing. City Manager Snow reported the Commission denied the city's application because neighbor complaints of noise, etc. from the skateboard park. She added, administration did not realize the ramp equipment was causing so much noise, even though steps were taken to mitigate the noise. Snow continued, it was apparent to her the complaints would continue and administration was looking for another location for the facilitY. In seeking a new location, they contacted the School District and the previous site of tennis courts at the High School were suggested. At this time, all comments were positive to relocate to that site. The City Attorney is reviewing the necessity of liability waivers, etc. Snow added, she spoke to one of the Commission members about the steps being taken and the member may be willing to request reconsideration of the resolution. If reconsideration is not successful, a letter of appeal will-be ready for submission to the City Clerk. Because a written Memorandum of Agreement will need to be executed between the city and the borough, it is unsure of when the equipment can be moved to the school site, but the equipment will be moved as soon as possible. If not to the school site, another site. D-7. Miscellaneous Commissions and Committees D-Ta. Beautification Committee -- Swarner reported the next meeting would be held on Tuesday, July 9, 2002. Williams noted, the owner of Paradisos was wanting a planting ring. Swamer suggested the matter be discussed at the next Beautification meeting.

Kenai Convention/h Visitors Bureau Board-- No report. D-7c. Alaska Municipal League Report -- Williams had no report. Swarner stated she was willing to attend the AML Committee meeting in Bethel the end of July. Council had no objections for her travel.

Swarner requested code information be sent to any organizations sponsoring events in the city where groups would be selling food items. ~She added, if the code was not enforced, it should be eliminated or amended. It was noted, mobile food vendor licensees have to pay a $10/month fee, have DEC inspection of their vehicle from which the food is being sold, and insurance.

Moore -- Asked the following: · When will the light poles be replaced along Forest Drive and Komelis answered, the poles had been ordered and he was notified of their arrival today. Was the slash on Lilac Lane removed and Fire Chief Walden answered, the slash had been placed there by a private citizen on their private property. The Fire Department had not been able to convince them to move the slash, but did inform them the incinerator would be placed at the Borough's transfer site which was not far from their property. Porter-- Noted the following: · Asked if the slash along Redoubt Terrace would be removed and Komelis reported he wrote and called DOT and they said it was put there by a private citizen and not the project contractor, however they would have it removed. Asked about the pond on Marathon Road and Williams noted, it is leased by the University. Asked if there would be additional tree removal, underbrush removal, etc. at Municipal Park this year. She added, because it had been chained off from KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING JULY 3, 2002 PAGE 12 camping use, etc'. it does not get a lot of use. Parks & Recreation Director Frates suggested placing additional picnic tables on the older existing pads. · Asked for an update on earlier discussions of using Section 36 properties for a recreational area. Frates reported he spoke with the American Legion and he is making contact with Homer, Fairbanks, etc. for cost estimates. He added, the information would be brought back in about two weeks. Bannock-- No comments. Jackman -- Reported the owners of Mitchell's Truck & Auto had done a very nice job in landscaping around the business and urged council to drive by to see-it and if they have a chance, say thank you to them for their efforts. Williams -- Noted the following: · The Challenger construction project should start next week. · Council had discussed the possibility of converting the Marathon pond into a neighborhood swimming area. Because the pond and surrounding area is leased to the University, it could not be done. However, he suggested the Rotary Club or other similar organization may want to investigate the possibility and do the work at no cost to the city. · He had been approached by several business people who have a large plan in mind and would need approximately ten acres of property. They are interested in property next to Three Bears, the 120' buffer strip along Walker Lane. He was asked if the city would consider shrinking the buffer area (if it's 120' wide) to about 60' and he said he would look into it, bringing it to council first because if, after being taken to the Planning & Zoning Commission, they didn't want to do it, it would come back to council. Bookey stated he would want the reason why the buffer zone was originally placed there researched and wouldn't make any commitment until it is know what the intention is for the use of the property. Williams stated he had some indication of what the use of the property would be for, but nothing definite. Williams stated he was asking for a suggestion from council that if the plan is right and council agrees, the buffer zone could be decreased. Williams added, he also suggested developing commercial property in the area of the "dust bowl," however since that property is now being used for recreation, council would have to consider changing the area to commercial use. · Talked with Alan Norville about the development of his strip mall beside the Carr's grocery store and learned the ACS headquarters would not be situated in Kenai. Norville purchased a building in Soldoma and is renovating it for ACS' primary location. · He has met with developers who are looking for a large tract of property, preferably close to the airport or on airport property. This is a new proposed project that may require council's consideration of putting some funding toward the project. Williams added, there had been no discussions at this point of what the developers' KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING JULY 3, 2002 PAGE 13 needs will be, but he wanted council to give some thought about the issue and the city's investments and infrastructure. · He will delay making an appointment to Planning & Zoning Commission and requested City Clerk Freas to send out a notice of the opening on the Commission to other board, commission and committee members to see if there maybe interest to move from one group to the other. Council had no objections. EXECUTIVE SESSION- None Scheduled ITEM L: ADJOURNMENT The meeting adjourned at approximately 8'55 p.m. Minutes transcribed and prepared by: Carol L.

Semmens, Acting City Manager DATE: July 12, 2002 RE: Local Improvement District~Schooner Circle On June 5, 2002, the City received the attached petition requesting than an assessment district be formed for the purpose of paving Schooner Circle. On June 5, 2002, the City Clerk informed the Council that this petition was received and forwarded to the City Manager..KMC 16.05 and 16.10 describes the general provisions and procedures involved in this process. As you know, KMC 16.05.030 requires that the petition be signed by the owners of fifty percent or more of the properties benefiting by the proposed improvement. There are five properties involved and four of the owners signed the petition. The cost percentage proposed for this assessment district is 25% of the LID project costs. This is the same percentage designated in attached Resolution No. 92-26. However, Council may wish to consider revising the percentage cost allocation. Council may also wish to ft~her discuss the allocation of Municipal Matching Grant Funds, since there are many more street improvement project areas in the community .than there is available grant money to fired them. Also attached is the preliminary assessment roll based on the square footage of each lot. Financing of the project is proposed as follows: Municipal Matching Grants Program (70%) Property Owner's Assessments (25%) General Fund Contribution (5%) Total Estimated Costs $14,000 5,O0O .. 1,000 $20,000 Memorandum to Mayor and Council July 12, 2002 Page 2 Actual project costs will be assessed after completion of the project. The administration agrees with the scope of the improvements to include grading and backfill, drainage, paving, topsoil and seeding, and signage. The property owners did not request curbs and gutters. Paving in this LID will result in reduced road maintenance and dust control costs. Also attached for your review is a memorandum from Keith Komelis, which contains information for the required public heating. If Council wishes to proceed further with the proposed LID project, a resolution to set the public hearing date can be prepared and presented to Council at the regular meeting of August 7, 2002.

WHEREAS, by KMC 16.10.070, the City Council has the authority to determine the percentage of costs to be assessed in special assessment districts; and WHEREAS, reduced State financing for public improvement projects makes it necessary that more costs be assessed to benefited properties; and WHEREAS, citizens desiring to form assessment districts have a need to know in advance of the petitioning process the portion of the project that is likely to be assessed. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, that: Section .1: The policy of the City Council regarding percentages of costs to be assessed in special assessment districts is a general rule. It is meant to inform the City administration and citizens of a usual rule to be followed, and it applies to all types of improvements. The Council reserves the right to apply percentages different from tho~ that follow based upon unique characteristics of each project. It is not implied that the Council must form an assessment district with each project. The policy is subject to all State, City Charter, and City Municipal Code requirements and restrictions. Section 2: In developed areas that include numerous property owners, each benefiting somewhat equally, the assessment rate will be . 25% of all eligible costs. The Council intends that all eligible costs include the entire project costs defined by KMC 16.05.090. Section 3: In partially developed or undeveloped areas that include one or a small number of property owners, the assessment rate will be 100% of all eligible costs. This is the rate that will apply in situations where the owner or owners are essentially acting as developers, with the intent of marketing and profiting from the developed land. The owners may have to waive the limitations placed on assessments, as provided by KMC 16.05.010(b) and Section 7-3 of the City Charter. In addition, the City may require cash or other assets' to be advanced or pledged to the City as security that the assessments will be paid. Generally, the unsecured portion of the assessments should not exceed 30% of the cost of the improvements. The City may require that the owner or owners enter into a contractual relationship with the City to ensure payment of the assessments.

BOX 5800, CAMP DENALI FORT RICHARDSON, ALASKA 99505-5800 July 2, 2002 The Adjutant General Mayor John J. Williams City of Kenai 210 Fidalgo Avenue, Suite 200 Kenai, AK 99611-7794 Dear Mayor Williams, I am in receipt of your letter dated June 20, 2002 and would like to address some of your concerns. As you know, the Alaska National Guard prides itself on community support and it's dedication to the State of Alaska. We try to make our facilities as accessible to community organizations to the extent that regulations and laws allow. First, let me say that use of both alcohol and tobacco in Federal facilities is now strictly forbidden. There is a process for exceptions to this policy that SSG Simono, the full time Guardsman in Kenai, was unaware. The club representative coordinating for use of the armory did so with very little notice. SSG Simono did some research with my staff, tried to inform the club representative, and discovered that the event had already been cancelled. At no time was use of the Kenai armory denied to the club. The only contentious issue was the use of alcohol in the facility. The Kenai armory is a federally funded facility. I understand your need for a community hall and the armory site would be a logical choice. BG Korenek discussed this issue with you on-site. If you are willing to build the Alaska Army National Guard an armory as the city of Valdez has done, we could begin negotiations. A site at the airport with a large tract of land to be used as a local training area would be an excellent start.

With the City of Kenai's support, our club has administered this program since 1996. Last year, our crew covered 155 miles of roadway, picking up 9,010 pounds of litter and recycling more than 500 pounds of cardboard. This year's crew started on July 2. Four teen-age workers are cleaning local roadsides 30 hours per week under the supervision of an adult. On the first day, the crew cleaned the area around the transfer station in Kenai. We request that the City of Kenai support our efforts again this year with a grant of $1,000. Your support helps us provide summer employment to hardworking youth while making the peninsula a more attractive place to visit and live.

The Pianning and Zoning Commission reconsidered and amended the conditional use permit to allow outdoor activities, excluding the skateboard park. The amendment required removal of the skateboard park. The dip net fishery opened on July 10. We were ready and have had no unusual problems so far.

Memo To: From: Date: Re: Linda Snow, City Manager Chuck Kopp, Chief of Police July 12, 2002 ~ June Monthly Report The Kenai Police Department responded to 643 calls for service in June. The Communications Center (dispatch) received 113 9-1-1 calls for emergency assistance. The summer season is in full swing and with it has come an increase in road/bike path construction, building construction, tourism, and oil support industry activity. This brings also a corresponding rise in motor vehicle accidents, criminal complaints, and other requests for police service. Officer Langham and Officer Sjogren continue to progress in their field training programs. Officer Sjogren is scheduled to attend the Dept. of Public Safety Training Academy in Sitka August 28 - November 21, 2002. Applications closed July 10th for the open position left by Chief Mords retirement. This position should be filled shortly. June 17-18 Sgt. Scott McBride and Sgt. Gus Sandahl attended a two-day seminar on Law Enforcement Response to Weapons of Mass Destruction sponsored by the Borough Office of Emergency Management. This class highlighted first responder procedural steps for incidents involving biological, nuclear, incendiary, chemical, and explosive weapons. This was followed by an in-house training session for ali officers on July 2ha. June 26-28 Kenai Police Department sponsored a traffic radar speed measurement class. Radar Instructor Mitchell Langseth certified five KPD officers and three Homer PD officers in radar speed measurement. Two seasonal hims, Julie Jenckes and Jimmy White, were brought on board to help with the dipnet fisherY and increased summer time need of KMC ordinance enforcement. Both are very busy with the current dipnet fishery as they manage parking, camping, litter, trespass and other related issues. · Page I nal Municipal Airport Airport Manager's Monthly Report July 11, 2002 Airport Marketing: Airport Manager has ordered a trial subscription of Airport Traffic Summary for the Kenai Airport from Sixel Consulting Group of Eugene, Oregon (letter from Sixel included under information items). The company specializes in air service development for small and medium size airports and this report is the first step in what could be a new direction for recruiting service to the Kenai Airport. There is a new grant program available through U.S. Department of Transportation aimed at improving air service to small communities (see DOT press release under information items) where service does not exist or there are high airfares compared with other communities. Sixel Consulting not only works to recruit air service for small airports, they submitted two successful grants applications under this new program to provide funds to assist in recruiting efforts. Given the recent increases in airfares and the dramatic drop in enplanements since the last fare increase, it seems prudent to explore every possible avenue to attract competition to the Kenai market. This is a new idea and further information will be provided in future reports to Council and Commission. More Airport Marketing: The postcards were mailed in late June and early July. As of this writing there has been no public feedback. Airport Improvements: Construction of a new parking area at the PRISM Fire Training Building is nearing completion. Forestry Service: Airport Manager met with Forestry Deputy Director Dean Brown, Area Forester Jim Peterson, Region Forester Jim Eleazer, and Local Fire Management Officer Ric Plate to discuss progress on the Forestry lease development. Indications are that they plan to pursue funding and contracts to start pad work late this summer. They are very impressed with the new Airport Operations Facility and would gladly locate their operations in this facility if given the opporttmiW. They were encouraged to develop their own facility to the extent possible and assured of the City's desire to support their operation. Airport Fees: Airport Commission did not have a quorum at the June 13 meeting so review of fee information was postponed until the July 11 meeting. Commission comments and recommendations will be documented in the minutes from the July meeting. Advertising: As recommended by Commission, the airport purchased a classified ad in the Anchorage paper to promote the floatplane and general aviation tie-downs. As there were no calls or response from this ad, it was suspended. It is our intent to run the ad again next spring to target potential floatplane overflow from the Anchorage market. Runway Painting: During this year's certification inspection the FAA recommended repainting of all the airport pavement markings. For the past two years, we have been painting different sections each summer. Airport Administrative Assistant Mary Bondurant has done an outstanding job negotiating a trade with State DOT where they paint all the airport surfaces if we provide the paint plus some 'extra paint for their use. There is a purchase order in this packet to buy $29,000 in runway paint and beads. This expenditure will provide repainting of all runways, taxiways and ramps at the airport. This is an excellent bargain and we appreciate DOT's willingness to work with us. Airport Security: During the last few years there have been periodic break-ins and vandalism occurrences on the airport and in the terminal. There is a purchase order in this packet to Guardian Security to provide an additional 625 hours of random security patrols in the terminal and on the airfield. This equates to approximately 12 additional hours per week. I have conferred with Chief Kopp and we believe that this is a fair price and will enhance the security presence significantly. Random patrols are an effective use of resources because potential violators have no way of knowing when security will be present. na/ Municipal Airport 2002 Monthly Enplanements Series I 1997-2001 Month (1) ERA (2) XXX Total 5 yr.

Our Internet use doubled in June and it seems that the numbers are going to be even higher in the upcoming months. We are glad that our 5 "one-hour" and a 15-minute "express" terminal can accommodate large numbers of users, even if they have to wait for a while. We hear many compliments about our garden where the two benches and the flowering lilacs can make the waiting time a little bit more pleasurable. Our summer reading program ended with a wrap-up party on July 8 which was attended by 152 people. The party featured Anna Stange, a folk singer from Illinois and an enormous cake created and decorated with a "bear theme" by the famous "Cake Lady" of Sterling. The program was financed by the Friends of the Library and Tesoro's 500 dollar grant. This year's theme, "Good Books are Good Friends", focused on beam - from Winnie- the Pooh to the brown bears of Alaska. This year we invited Kenai National Wildlife Refuge to participate in the program. The three young women from the Refuge prepared a series of very interesting presentations for the kids and their families; a hands-on display of brown and black bear fur, sculls and claws, bear track imprints, safety tips and a habitat game. The kids enjoyed their summer program and we hope that they also were able to learn a lot. In July the State Library of Alaska added a new database to their "Databases for Alaskans" suite. "Learn-a-test" is available to everyone at home and at the Library from the Library home page(www.kenailibrary.org). It includes several tests, such as, GED, GRE, SAT, etc. - that can be practiced at your own speed. We are very excited by this addition since many of our own practice books do not last very long on the Library shelves.

CITY OF KENAI 210 FIDALGO AVE., SUITE 200 KENAI, ALASKA 99611-7794 TELEPHONE 907-283-7535 FAX 907-283-3014 ~ MEMORANDUM TO:...r Mayor John Williams and City Council Members FROM: (~'{/._1:, Cary R. Graves, City Attorney DATE: July 11, 2002 RE' Mobile Food Vendors During the last Council meeting, the issue arose about mobile food vendors at the 4ta of July celebration on the park strip. Council requested I research the permit requirements with the idea of excluding temporary food vendors so they would not need to get permits. The licensing requirement for mobile food vendors is in KMC 5.25. It was enacted in 1978. An important item to recognize about the licensing requirement is what type of food vendors it covers. KMC 5.20.010 defines "mobile food vending unit" as "any type of vehicle or wagon which is designed to be readily movable and from which any food or beverage is sold or offered for sale to the public at any location, whether on private or public property, within the boundaries of the City." (Emphasis added) Because most of the food vendors did not utilize a vehicle or wagon to sell the food from, very few of the food vendors at the 4t~ of July celebration needed mobile food vendor permits. Most temporary food vendors (like the Senior Connection for its pie sales) use tables. The same holds tree for Industry Appreciation Day. Because of the cost of purchasing a vehicle, wagon or bus from which to sell food, mobile food vendors tend to be commercial operators rather than non-profit organizations. Thus, the mobile food vendor ordinance usually does not impact non-profit food sales. In January 2000, the City repealed KMC 12.15 that called for the City to permit and inspect restaurants. The original version of that ordinance was passed in 1963. The City had not enforced the ordinance in years and the Alaska DEC had similar duties that it did enforce making the City's ordinance redundant. The State also regulates mobile food units under 18 AAC 31. During the meeting, Council expressed the desire to explore exempting temporary vendors from the requirements of the city code. However, almost all temporary food vendors are already Mayor John Williams and City Council Members July 11, 2002 Page 2 of 2 exempt from the city code because they are not mobile food vendors under the definition in KMC 5.25.010. BecauSe the City's mobile food vendor ordinance overlaps the State's regulatory review of mobile food vendors, the Clerk and I suggest repealing KMC 5.25 like the City did with restaurant inspection and licensing. If the Council wishes to amend the existing KMC 5.25, I would suggest amending it as follows' "Mobile food vending unit" means any type of vehicle or wagon in operation for thirty or more days per calendar year which is designed to be readily movable and from which any food or beverage is prepared for immediate consumption and sold or offered for sale to the public at any location, whether on private or public property, within the boundaries of City. Please let me know if Council would like me to prepare an ordinance amending or repealing KMC 5.25.

Department of T~ansportation DOT 62-02 Wednesday, June 26, 2002 Contact: Bill Mosley Tel.: (202) 366-5571 Secretary Mineta Announces Grants To Improve Air Service to Small Communities U.S. Transportation Secretary Norman Y. Mineta today announced grants to 40 communities in 38 states under a new program to help smaller U.S. commtmitics enhance thciI airlinc servicc. Thc grants, totaling $20 million, will help thc communities address their local air service problems, such as high fares and insufficient levels of service. In soliciting grant proposals, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) invited communities to develop their own innovative solutions and seek federal financial assistance for their projects. Eligible projects included subsidies and financial incentives to air carriers, studies and marketing programs. Thc department received 179 proposals from 47 states, seeking a total of $142.5 million. "Thc goal of these grants is to help smaller communities develop and improve their access to thc national air transportation system," Secretary Mincta said. "We will monitor these programs and usc thc results to better assist other communities in thc future." The Small Community Air Service Development Pilot Program, authorized by the Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century, allowed thc department to award grants to up to 40 communities, no more than four of which could be from the same state. In considering thc grant proposals, DOT gave priority to those communities that: · have high airfarcs compared to other communities; · contribute financially to thc project from sources other than airport revenues; · have established or will establish a public/private partnership to improve their air service; and · submitted proposals that will benefit a broad segment of thc pubhc by providing greater access to thc national transportation system. Thc grants range in size from $1,557,500 to Bismarck, ND, to develop regional service linking North Dakota, South Dakota and Montana communities; to $85,010 to Abilenc, TX, to hire a business development director to promote services at thc airport.. Grant recipients will provide a total of $14.8 million for their projects in addition to thc federal funds. Secretary Mincta also designated Augnsm, GA, one of thc grant recipients, as an "Air Service Development Zone." As part of thc small- community program, DOT, in coordination with other government agencies, will assist Augusta in facilitating land usc and economic development in thc ama surrounding thc airport. Complete community proposals and thc department's final order arc available on thc Interact at http://dms.dot.gov, docket number OST-2002- 11590.
