Information offered at a recent meeting with a State representative regarding assisted

a grant-funded project and it is hoped the Senior Connection will agree to be that
entity after discussing it at their June meeting. It was also suggested a consultant be

project. It was noted, consultant costs are not always reimbursed by grants, however

Discussion -- Sister Senior Center/Thorpe, Sparkhill, NY
Craig reported the New York Center forwarded a quilt for the Kenai Center to finish
and then it would be raffled off between both centers. Craig noted, she found someone
locally to do the hand-quilting. She asked if there was interest in continuing the
relationship between the two centers, or should she write them and suggest other
groups they may want to contact to form a sister-center relationship. Consensus of
the membership was to end the sister-center relationship with the New York group
and suggest other entities they might want to contact.

It was noted Arlene Enfield would be moving from the state in the near future and
would resign her position as Council on Aging member. Members were encouraged to
contact other seniors who may be interested in volunteering on the Council and have
them complete applications available in Craig's office or from the City Clerk.
Discussion -- Receptionist Position
Craig noted, the receptionist position is voluntary and is. much needed and
appreciated by the Center staff. She added, because of' all the activities going on at
the Center, the receptionist desk can get quite tense. She requested members pass on
to other users of the Center to be patient.
Discussion continued and the following suggestions were made'
· Place a sign at the desk to request patience by the users.
· Move the receptionist desk to the office area and move Craig'
more private area.
s office to a
COUNCIL ON AGING MEETING

PAGE 2
· Move Craig's office to the one used by Barrett and move Barrett to Craig's
office area.
· Include in newsletter, signs, etc. to remind people needing to sign-up for
activities, meal orders, etc. to the receptionist instead of Craig or Issak.
· Put a sign on the office door to remind people that when it's closed, they
should not interrupt the office staff (leave messages, etc. with the receptionist).
Craig noted she appreciated the members' concern in regard to her need for more
privacy. She added, in the new fiscal budget, funds were allocated for additional
phone lines to be installed in the sun room, as well as the housing manager's office
which will probably be networked.
Craig also noted, they will need some additional volunteers to cover the desk during
the summer and requested anyone interested to .contact her or Issak.
ITEM 6'
OUESTIONS & COMMENTS
Swaraer-- Reported the following:
· The City Council passed the budget ordinance as amended.
· The mill rate will remain the same. Swarner added, one reaction of not
raising the mill rate will be possible increases in user fees of city facilities/utilities.
Those fee increases will be forwarded to council from the city manager.
· Two council seats will be up for election on October 1 (Swarner and
Bannock).
· Noted several initiatives may be included on the boroUgh ballot to
eliminate taxes. She added, when taxes are lessened, the funds those taxes collected,
usually are added somewhere else.
Craig -- Noted the back portion of the dining room at the Senior Center will be a
polling place for State/City/Borough elections. City Clerk Freas added, the
Department of Elections was changing the precinct lines in relation to the
reapportionment and the Armory would no longer be used as a polling place.
Notification would be made to voters through issuance of new voter cards, public
service announcements, etc.
Osborn -- Asked the progress of Swarner's grant request in regard to an
assisted living facility project. Swarner reported she and Craig had done some
preliminary paperwork.

AIRPORT COMMISSION RESIGNATION
Jason Elson -- AT LARGE POSITION
On Friday, June 14, 2002, I received a telephone call from Airport Commission Chair
Henry Knackstedt, who informed me Jason Elson had verbally tendered his
resignation from the Commission. Henry noted, he tried hard to talk Jason out of the
resignation because he had been a very good representative of the at-large designated
seat. However, Jason stated his schedule was very full and he didn't feel he could give
the Commission the attention he felt he should.
Attached are the applications now on file in my office for consideration. The position
which has been vacated is one of the three AT-LARGE positions. I was successful in
contacting several of the applicants and those contacted stated their continued
interest. Messages were left for the others to return my call.

Question: Why would I like to be apart of the Kenai Municipal Airport Commission?
Answer: From a professional aspect I have been an Air Traffic Controller for eight years
and currently hold a private pilot certificate. I am an active member in the Alaskan
aviation community, and have formed a solid relationship with user groups on the Kenai
Peninsula. Through the Alaska Flying Network, I have volunteered my time in teaching
student pilots the meteorological aspects of aviation as well as other services provided by
the Kenai Automated Flight Service Station. With my background in the aviation
industry I feel that I could be an asset to this committee.
I believe this would be an excellent opportunity to serve my community and enhance my
knowledge in the field of aviation. I would like to have the opportunity to participate in
the ongoing development of the Kenai Municipal Airport.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

· Matthew Peters has been hired as the Beautification Supervisor. He will
supervise the watering, planting, mowing, dandelion control etc. of city parks.
A request was made by Andrew Carmichael to present the Commission
with information regarding the Arctic Winter Games. Carmichael is seeking a letter of
support from the Commission. The presentation would be in July or August.
Beetle kill issues are being taken care of by the Fire Department and
Division of Forestry.
The ice rink compressors have been running as if it is April at a 60-65%
capacity. The temperature has been approximately 48 degrees inside the building.
· The skateboard park has had several noise complaints from .surrounding
neighbors, though no serious problems have occurred.
Trash has become a problem at the skateboard park/multi-purpose
center area. The Commission briefly discussed the trash issue and determined some
accumulated over the course of the winter are likely culprits .for adding to the trash in
the area-- the trash is not entirely from the skateboarders.
To date, the soccer program has resulted in a low turnout due to the
$120.00 per person fee. Next year the program will be eliminated and taken over by
the Boys and Girls Club.

Commissioners all agreed they look great.

whomever is responsible for this be required to clean it up immediately.
Thank you.
Sincerely,

house would be removed and whether they would take action to have slash piles
removed.
City Manager Snow reported she was unaware of the concern, but would contact the
property owners tomorrow. She was requested to report back to council. City Planner
Kebschull noted a contractor had been into City Hall making arrangements for
removing the burned building, which would be done in the very near future.
Councilwoman Porter questioned City Attorney Graves whether there is an ordinance
that would cover removal of slash and Graves stated it mav be covered as a fire hazard
or could fit into the junk ordinance. He will investigate the issue.
Councilman Moore stated his concern for the fire hazard and suggested it be dealt
with as soon as possible. Acting Fire Chief Tilly stated he xvas unaware of the pile and
that the Fire Wise program did on-site burning of slash left during their forestry
project.
ITEM C:
PUBLIC HEARINGS
C-1.
Ordinance No. 1956-2002 -- Amending Title 14 to Establish an
Education Zone and Change Several Sections of the Kenai Municipal
Code to Include the New Education Zone as Noted on Attachment A.
Code Sections Affected are: 14.20.030(a); 14.20.075(b); 14.20.220(c);
14.22.010 (Land Use Table); 14.24.010; and 14.25.020.
MOTION:
Councilman Bookey MOVED for adoption of Ordinance No. 1956-2002 and
Councilman Moore SECONDED the motion.
Debbie Sonberg-- 410 Cinderella, Kenai. Encouraged passage of the ordinance as
she felt it would be good for that area of town and would help protect the schools and
surrounding community.
Bannock explained, the ordinance would not rezone the area, but would create the
zone. After passage of this ordinance, a possible rezone of areas could be considered.
He. added, schools now require conditional use permits and passage of the ordinance
would eliminate that need. By creating a school zone and rezoning that
school/location, it would eliminate the need for a conditional use permit. Kebschull
stated, also all the structures are handled as commercial structures. With the new
zone, a lot of the permitting processes now required of educational buildings will be
alleviated.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING
JUNE 5, 2002
.PAGE 4
Councilman Bookey referred to the first whereas in the ordinance and asked if the
ordinance would allow the borough school and university lands within the same
ordinance. Kebschull explained, parcels would be reviewed under the rezoning
process. In regard to the Challenger Center, it is a permitted use in the light
industrial zone in which it is located, however it could be rezoned to the educational
zone if it was felt necessary.
Porter asked if the Kenai Elementary. building would need to be rezoned and Kebschull
explained it was already a permitted use in a commercial zone and it would not be
necessary to rezone.
Bannock stated he would not support the ordinance because it would officially create
what he felt was spot zoning. With passage of the ordinance and future rezoning, it
would take away the conditional use permit process. He added, he believed zones
should be large and this would cause smaller zones, or spot zoning. Bannock stated,
the problem the ordinance was trying to correct could already be corrected through
the conditional use permit process.
Bookey noted the borough had school lands in the city dedicated as school lands. He
asked why there was not an ordinance to cover all the educational lands. He asked
why the ordinance was being offered. Attorney Graves explained no decision was
being made of what lands would be put in 'the zone at this time as there could be a
wide variety. Each area would have to be changed if the zone is. added. Williams
noted the university sells lands and they are not always used for educational facilities.
Bannock stated he believed the only thing being done was substituting the need for a
conditional use permit and which ~vould not resolve all the issues in the zoning code.
If a new school was established and it was not in an educational zone, an application
could be made to change the zoning of the property or apply for a conditional use
permit.
Kebschull noted, currently Sears Elementary could make renovations to the building,
but to add on to the building, a building permit could not be issued without a
conditional use permit.
Ozzie Osborne, Planning/h Zoning Commission -- Explained the ordinance wouldn't
rezone anything, but put the zone in place for properties to be rezoned if needed. The
local schools could be placed in the zone to their borders and would bypass
unnecessary requirements.
Bannock asked if a request is made to rezone Sears Elementary, would it be
considered spot zoning. City Attorney Graves explained the Alaska Supreme Court set
the standard in Alaska for spot zoning: over 13 acres it is not presumptively
considered spot zoning; under three acres it is presumptively spot zoning; and in
between depends on a variety of factors.

Williams stated, that since the ordinance only a/lows for the creation of a recreation
zone and no specific zoning would be done at this time, he suggested going forward
with the ordinance and address the issue of individual zones as they arise.

Assemblyman Bill Popp -- Reported the borough had adopted their 2003 budget and
reduced the mill rate in cities one-half mill and increased the mill rate one-half mill for
areas outside of cities.
Tom Wagoner -4040 Primrose Place,' Kenai. Reported he owns a commercial
building in Kenai and his insurance costs rose 40 points. He added, the impact of a
mill increase would be pushed on to renters and just because the Borough Assembly
lowered the mill rate did not give the city a reason to increase their rate. Wagoner
continued, he believed the council had more work to do and he objected to a raise in
the mill rate at this time.
Dr. Pete Hansen -- Hansen read the following letter into the record:
My name is Pete Hansen, I live in the City of Kenai at 418 Rogers Road,
and I have lived here 34 years. I own property in Kenai including my
home, a commercial office building, and residential rentals. I am
opposed to the City of Kenai raising the property tax mill rate for the
following reasons:
1. Last year the borough reassessed all the properties I mentioned
above and the value of each was increased. In the case of the
commercial building, it was increased several hundred thousand
dollars. My taxes will be considerably higher this year because of it.
2. New businesses are going up in Kenai such as the new
development on Kenai Plaza next to Carrs-Safety...and the recently
opened Alaska Industrial hardware which is drawing contractors and
homeowners from all over the Peninsula. Both property tax and sales
tax income to the City of Kenai this year should increase as a result of
these investments made in our town.
3. Kenai is known for its consistency in having one of the lowest
property tax rates in the State of Alaska. It seems prudent to maintain
this rate without a change, at a time when we are seeing this sudden
growth of new businesses...buildings and businesses that may have
come here because of our low rate structure, and the stable government
and fiscal policies this council has previously set.
4. The City earned less revenue on its savings and investments last
year, and I believe this was because of the state of our national
economy. This change in our economy also affected the savings and
investments of our taxpayers...which means they have had to tighten
their purse strings...and I believe the city needs to do the same of for
this next year, utilizing a bit of the city's savings until our economy
recovers...and I believe that is about to happen.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING
JUNE 5, 2002

Thank you for listening.
David Larson -- Stated he opposed a mill rate increase based on his earlier comments
(lower assessment due to junk, neighboring properties, slash endangerments, etc.).
He added, should other properties not be increasing due to the assessment value
because of adjacent properties, he believed it would be better to investigate with the
Borough Assessor the location of those properties and whether or not that would offset
any needed increases. He added, he didn't have a problem paying his fair share, but
didn't think it was necessary to raise the levy if there were other properties that could
generate more revenue if problems around them could be resolved.
Williams noted, the reassessment of properties within the city generated an increase of
$36,000 in property taxes; only 15% of the city budget is from property taxes; this
increase would cover only ten percent of the budget shortfall.
James Baisden -- 1009 Inlet Woods Drive, Kenai. Baisden stated he supported a mill
rate increase and noted he owns properties in Kenai and in other areas and gets more
service in the city with a lower mill rate and less service in other places where there is
a higher mill rate.
John Steinbeck-- 1601 Tanaga Avenue, Kenai. Stated he opposed the raising of the
mill rate and thought the budget should be approved the way it is and then try to find
another way instead of raising the mill rate to increase revenues. He suggested a sales
tax increase and get more businesses in Kenai to raise more sales tax. Steinbeck
stated he opposed a mill rate increase.
Debbie Sonberg-- Questioned a comment that the city should tighten its belt and
asked if that had not already been done. Williams explained administration had been
working on the budget to cut about $160,000 from the $330,000 deficit. After those
cuts, there will be more deficit. He also noted, since the last mill rate adjustment in
1993, funds from the State had declined steadily.
Ozzie Osborne -- 14400 Kenai Spur Highway, Kenai. Stated he would be retiring in
the near future and, like the city, he will have to make changes when his income
declines and make cutbacks.
Kathy Lopeman -- 4586 Kenai Spur Highway. Explained she was on the fence as far
as a mill increase was concerned, but thinks the general public will be in danger of
losing city employees to other jobs with better benefits if benefits are cut, etc. due to
cuts in the city budget. Suggested other areas, like fee increases, that could be done
instead of cutting the benefits of the city workers.
Williams noted there was no cost of living increase in the budget and many of the
employees won't receive any pay raise and some will get step increases. A raise in the

had not been addressed.
The issue
Mark Schrag -- Stated he wanted to discourage the do-nothing approach (no cuts, no
revenue enhancement, etc.) and would support a small mill increase. He added, if it is
done now, it could be less pa_in later.
Blaine Gilman -- 216 Suzieanna Lane, Kenai. Gilman stated his concern was
spending down the surplus and thought it should be more of a surplus. He noted the
state budget would have less funds available and will put more cost to the
municipalities. Gilman also noted there is a petition to have a proposition placed on
the borough ballot to give an exemption for groceries which would cut approximately
$1 million from the city's revenues. If this is done, it would be more serious. Gilman
suggested an increase of one mill which he believed would be the responsible thing to
do. He urged council to do the right thing.
Williams noted council had not discussed the issue of the petition with Graves or
Snow. He noted, if the proposition would pass, it would cost approximately $1 million
in revenues to the city, or about three mills. He suggested voters strongly consider
that when the matter comes to a vote.
Terry Linebarger-- Crowe Court. Linebarger supported a one-mill increase.
noted, he wanted the city to continue to grow and felt the issue needed to be
addressed now.

increase.
Stated objection to any mill
Bob Peters -- Old Town, Kenai. Stated he would prefer an increase in the sales tax
and agreed there are other sources than raising the mill rate. He added, he didn't
think raising the mill rate would dissuade people and businesses from coming to
Kenai. Peters added, he thinks businesses will pass the increase on to their
customers and people will pay higher costs and stay here.
Bannock explained he believes it is council's job to make sure assessed values
increase; is concerned what would happen if the city raises its mill rate and then the
borough raises theirs again; and that he believes there are prospects for Kenai and
Alaska.
Bookey stated he felt times were better today than they had been for five years and he
didn't believe a mill rate increase was needed at this time. He added, he wanted to
keep the mill rate at its present level. Bookey stated all the city's future budgets will
be low and tight and he hoped the mill rate would remain the same.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING

Porter stated, after taking five work sessions to review the budget; reviewing the
budget for many hours; and thought it was a good thing for administration to be
directed to cut $160,000 from the budget. However, because there was still $160,000
that was not cut to balance the budget; because she didn't like a deficit budget;
·
because $40,000 was taken from the maintenance budget and has found paint
chipping from facility walls, the city shop needs replacing, etc.; because the employees
had not received a cost of living increase for two years; insurance costs are increasing,
etc., she feels it is necessary to raise the mill by one-half mill.
Swarner noted she had reviewed several past year budgets and noted a mill increase
had been planned for 2002 and 2003. Semmens explained the increase projection
was changed because there was optimism the economy was doing better. Swarner
stated she would support a mill increase as it would be better than having deficit
spending.
Moore stated he polled the public through emails, telephone calls, in the grocery store,
etc. He had 25 individuals justify a one mill crease and 11 people sa.v no. Moore
stated, with expenses rising, etc. he could justify a one .mill increase and would
support the mill rate being increased to 4.5.
MOTION TO AMEND:
Councilman Moore MOVED to amend the mill rate and increase it to 4.5 and
Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion.
Bookey stated he could support a mill rate increase if they were operating from a
balanced budget for the last ten years. Also, if there were no reserves, he would
support an increase. However, he felt they city would be headed in the wrong
direction to raise the mill rate at this point.
Jackman stated she felt council owed it to the citizens of Kenai to cut where it can
before raising the mill rate. She added,, she felt there would be substantial increases
to revenue if user fees are increased. Jackman stated she wanted to wait another year
before raising the mill rate.
Porter stated she would vote no on a one-mill increase as she preferred an increase of
one-half mill. Williams suggested a one-half mill increase as a compromise because
with proposed cuts administration will do, the deficit will be covered. He added, a full
mill rate increase was delayed until next year and would be in next year's budget.
Williams added, if the budget is balanced, consideration should be given to pay
adjustments for the employees.
Moore stated he was concerned about what cuts would be made by administration.
He added, it may just be a delay and if the. mill rate is raised one-half mill this year,
they may have to raise it again next year.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING

Swarner stated her concern there would be less lapse in the budget to help cover the
deficit. Swarner added, she felt the mill rate should be increased by one mill and set it
at 4.5 mills. Williams stated he would rather increase the rate by one-half mill.

MOTION:
Councilwoman Swarner MOVED for adoption of Ordinance No. 1958-2002 and
Councilman Bannock SECONDED the motion.
Finance Director Semmens noted the total budget would be $13,047,451. Snow noted
the budget process from the first meeting with the department heads to the point
when council directed her to cut approximately $160,000 from the budget with full
authority to administration to make the cuts and said they would accept those cuts
whatever they would be. She stated she and Semmens reviewed the budget and
pulled out large-cost items and listed those items that would be cut:
· Dock area -- $54,000 may be able to cut, but it would cut into the. fund
balance there. Williams asked if it was a real cut or contingency and Snow stated that
would be left up to council. .'
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING
JUNE 5, 2002
PAGE 11
General Fund Contingency -- $48,000-50,000 -- monies used during the
year for unanticipated costs. The concern is, administration may have to come to
council for items that come up and are not budgeted.
General Fund -- $30,000 for copiers -- a copier will be purchased from
the current budget {funds already are available).
· Land -- $5,000
· Shop -- Cost of a nose plow
· Streets -- experimental snow removal project
· Finance -- $5,000 professional services for consultant services.
· Buildings -- $10,000 ADA funds not always spent but if something
happens, administration will have to come back to council. · Lands-- professional services
Snow added, council gave direction to examine user fees (when were they last raised,
suggested increases, etc.) and work has begun on that issue. She added, she has
divided the pile for work session purposes. Snow noted it will take time to make all
the increases as some can be done administratively and others will have to be done by
ordinance. She added, how much money will be raised through the increases was not
known.
Williams noted, administration did what was asked, but council may have to revisit
taking money from contingency. Moore asked Semmens to identif.v any of the cuts
that would be shifting of expenses from one year to the next. Semmens noted two
items: the Police SUV and the copier, which were on this meeting's agenda for
consideration.
Moore asked Semmens to identify those cuts mentioned that would be shifting
expenditures from one year to the next. Semmens noted there were two items moved
from the new budget to the current budget (copier and SUV). The General Fund
transfer to the dock could be shortened in order for the dock fund to have a deficit
instead of a zero deficit ($54,000)which would use all their fund balance. He added,
that would mean, in the subsequent year, there would be something to be reckoned
with at the dock. Moore asked if the deficit fund balance have an effect on the city's
bond rating and Semmens explained, the city could not run a deficit budget in
perpetuity and a plan would be needed and that would be what it is currently; to
transfer money from the General Fund. Bannock stated the dock could continue to be
fed or council could readdress and privatize it.

Snow stated administration would be using the 2002 borough assessment calculations
in the final cost estimate and the property owners' share will adjust up.
Whether street lights were included in the project was discussed and concern was
noted there are none in the subdivision. Tom Moore stated they had not considered
street lights when the petition was distributed to the property owners and he did not
feel comfortable speaking for all the property owners.
Public Works Director Kornelis noted, if there is secondary power in the area, it would
be inexpensive to place one street light at the corner where the school bus stops to
pick up and drop off children. However, if there is no secondary power, it would be
much more expensive. Williams stated lights could be considered later.

Swarner stated she had stopped by and noted the use. She also noticed there were no
vendors. Swarner added, she would also like the facility open for the public to rent or
for open skate. She noted she was concerned about a barrel of charred wood and
requested administration to investigate the issue. Swarner said she had received
complaints of noise from the skateboard park, but none for the evening skating.
Williams stated he had also noticed the charred wood and other trash in the area, as
well as gravel being thrown onto the asphalt and suggested a traffic bumper be placed
to encourage people to use the roadway and not the gravel area.

Discussion -- Local Improvement District -- Basin View Subdivision
{Dolchok Lane, Kim-N-Ang Court and Cub Court) / Report to Council.
Bookey stated the issue of paving this area had been before council in the past and he
had some concerns of buried materials in the roadway which would make the job more
costly. Kornelis stated exploratory excavation had been done in the past and some
bury had been found. He added, the final cost of the project is what is split 75/25 by
the city and property owners. If additional work is required in regard to buffed
materials, it would be included in the cost of the total project. Komelis also noted the
code states the cost is based on square footage of the property. Because the lots in
the area include wetlands, administration was recommending calculating the cost on
an equal basis.
Council had no objections to proceeding with the project and bringing a resolution
forward to set a public hearing date (probably August 7).

added, they felt it could be more expensive to pursue a higher judgment than that due
to the conditions of the bid, etc.

only fee, she was setting one at $5.00 per day which would be a new fee for those
users of the dock who are parking a vehicle only. The launch fee of $10.00 a day will
continue as well.
* Referred to a memorandum included in the packet from Semmens
regarding a banking RFP. Semmens explained, due to the budget process taking more
time than typical and because the financial statement/audit would be taking place at
the time he expected to put out the RFP, he felt it would be better to dela~v the issue.
He noted, he had discussed the matter with Wells Fargo Bank and they had no
objections to extending the present contract. He now plans to issue the RFP in
November with a February or March implementation date.
· Welcomed Chuck Kopp to his first council meeting in the capacity of
Chief of Police.
Porter asked Snow to review the landscaping review process as there are new
buildings, etc. that are only planting grass instead of doing more beautification to their
properties. She also suggested paving as a requirement for new businesses. Bannock
noted, the Planning & Zoning Commission reviews site plans and there are criteria in
place. He added, if more specific criteria are wanted (hoTM many trees, etc.),
amendments to the code would need to be made.
Kebschull explained the code was changed approximately one year ago to have the
landscaping/site plans reviewed administratively so not to hold up building permits.
She noted, the ordinance is very lacking in that it only requires five percent
landscaping and is non-specific. She added, there is no paving requirement in the
ordinance. Kebschull agreed the code needed to be updated, but she didn't think it
should be subjective and specific criteria should be included. Administration was
requested to examine the issue.

Bannock stated his disappointment regarding the airport flooring proposed settlement.
He stated he would rather the job be fixed or find another resolution. Discussion
followed in which Williams noted the floor at the terminal was not built or prepped for
tile and the contractor was unaware of it when he reviewed the floor prior to the bid
and the city did not pull the carpet up to show it. Williams added he believed it was
as much the fault of the city as the contractor. Bookey stated he believed the
contractor should have said something about the problem after the carpet was
removed.
Attorney Graves explained, when they met, the contractor brought his bid sheet notes
because the city wanted to know what portion of the project was the tile and what
portion was the carpet. Public Works Manager La Shot estimated approximately
$40,000 was the tile work cost. The contractor showed he spent approximately
$38,000, including materials, profit, labor, etc. Graves added, they broke down the
function of tile into three areas, i.e. esthetics, maintenance and functionality. The
project engineer and La Shot said they had only a problem with esthetics as the
maintenance and functionality were not perfect, but acceptable. Graves stated it was
difficult to calculate the worth of esthetics as there is no formula to determine that or
damages for it. He added, if the matter would go to court, the court would assign a
damage amount because it would not be economical to continue having the contractor
redo the project if it could not be done correctly. Graves stated, they reached a
number they 'felt was in good faith and the contractor will lose money on the tile
portion of the project.
Airport Manager Cronkhite added, the contractor incurred more cost because he
purchased additional tile and then replaced several sections. Bookey stated he was
unhappy with the resolution amount and that the contractor should have mentioned
the problem with the sub-floor. Bookey also noted, the contractor used an apprentice
who was not as familiar with technique, etc. Williams stated he had no problem with
the resolution and Bookey stated he did. There were no other objections stated.
J-2. Attorney-- Graves reported there had been some questions raised in
regard to the petition to eliminate taxes on non-prepared foods, i.e. its appropriateness
and if the Borough has the authority to revoke a home-rule municipality tax. He
added, he wanted to investigate the issue and would try to get information back to
council next week or in the packet for the next council meeting. Council had no
objections.
Graves also reported he would be out of the office on Thursday and Friday and would
be at the Chamber's booth at the airport next Wednesday.
J-3. City Clerk-- Freas reported she had received a petition for a special
assessment district for paving Schooner Circle in the VIP Subdivision. She noted she
would forward the information to the city manager to continue the process.

ITEM K:
DISCUSSION
K-I.
Citizens-- None.
K-2. Council
Bookey -- Stated he had received a complaint over Memorial Day weekend that
there was a problem with the fuel station at the float plane basin and asked if the
problem had been repaired. Cronkhite reported the problem had been fnxed. Bookey
asked why it had not been repaired for the Memorial Day weekend and Cronkhite
stated it was broken and the parts were not available for repair prior to that weekend.
She added, the station was shut down during the winter and problems with the filters
were discovered when it was being readied for the summer use. There were problems
in getting filters for the repair and a notice was placed on the pump and directing
users where and how to obtain fuel. Bookey stated, for all issues of the city, taking
care of minor details like this, the big things fall into place on their own. He added, he
was disappointed there was no fuel available for users. Airport Manager Cronkhite
explained when the fuel station had been shut down in the fall the pump was working.
Swarner-- · Asked the progress of removing spruce bark beetle-killed trees in
the city. Acting Fire Chief Tilly reported the Department had checked the gully areas,
thick forested areas within the city and sent out letters to property owners telling them
to contact the Borough for removal. Swarner requested they check trees along Lawton
Drive.
· Asked how far on properties do the front loaders go when removing snow
and Kornelis noted the right-of-ways within the city vary and explained the snow
removal process for cul-de-sacs and vacant lots, etc.
· Asked how often the striping is done on city streets and Komelis
~inswered, there was no definite schedule. It is done when the paint is worn away.
Moore -- Stated he would be absent for the June 19 council meeting.
Porter-- · Requested Komelis to check when the slash pile would be
removed from Redoubt which was to be done during last year's highway upgrade
project.
· Noted the Public Works Project Report indicated a City Hall renovation
project and asked if it was for the upstairs of City Hall. Snow reported it could be
work for one office that council had previously approved, or it could have to do with
the heating system. Swarner requested a note back indicating what the project was to
entail.
· May not be in attendance of June 19, 2002 meeting.

noted he received emails in regard to the budget work sessions, etc. and comments
had been made the writers felt he ~vas trying to make the city manager look bad.

for the city.

Basin View LID: I have completed and submitted the public hearing information,
preliminary assessment roll, and cost estimate along with drawings and an owner

Municipal Airport
Airport Marketing- Air Fair:
The Second Annual Central Peninsula Air Fair held June 8,
2002 was a great success. The event kicked off at the Soldotna Airport with a fund-raising
breakfast put on by the local Experimental Aircraf~ Association and concluded with a barbeque
and prize presentation at the Kenai Airport's new Operations Center. Twenty-eight participants
registered to fly in the Fun Flight. This was twice the number of last year's participation. The
Fun Flight would not have been a success without the generous support and help from our
sponsors. The Federal Aviation Administration also contributed information tables from their
Airworthiness and Runway Safety divisions. Special thanks to Mayor Williams, Councilwoman
Swamer, City Clerk Carol Frees, Airport Commission Chair Henry Knackstead, and
Commissioner Dan VanZee for their many hours of volunteer time on Saturday. Mike Tarr and
Steve Horn did an outstanding job on the barbeque ribs and the Kenai Fire Department manned
the hot dog and hamburger grill. We would also like to thank Jay Barrett at the Kenai Visitor
and Convention Center for coordinating the advertising efforts. Participants completed surveys
on the Air Fair and the Kenai Airport. The Airport Commission will review these surveys and a
report will be presented to Council next month.
Airport Survey' The preliminary Airport users survey was distributed at the Air Fair. Airport
Commission plans to review this completed survey, approve a final format, and then mail it to
area pilots.
More Airport Marketing' The postcard mailing did not occur due to printing delays. The
postcard is being reformatted to delete the Air Fair reference and will be mailed to local pilots as
soon as airport staff receives it.
Airport Improvements. The Airport Manager negotiated a professional services agreement
with Wince-Corthell-Bryson to provide engineering services for the airport terminal parking
area. The resolution for contract award is included in this packet for Council approval. This
contract will provide engineering support and include public meetings to evaluate the best course
of action for parking and driveway access on the public side of the terminal.
Forestry Service: Forestry operations have scaled down due to a decrease in local fire danger.
In addition to fees for the staging and parking areas, over $400 in landing fees was collected
from aircraft supporting the Forestry operations.
Airport Fees' Airport Commission is reviewing information from the Airport Manager
regarding parking fines and off-airport car rental fees. Their recommendations will be in
documented in the minutes from the June 13, 2002 meeting.
New Airline Service: Frontier Flying Service did not receive the Federal loans they were hoping
for which would have enabled them to start service to Kenai. At this writing, they have no plans
to begin service to Kenai.

Subject: Monthly report- May 2002
May is typically a more quiet month at the Library. Sunny weather and the long Memorial Day
.weekend lowered our circulation number by approximately 4%. We had several school tours, though,
and we are beginning to see a steady influx of tourists. Our electronic counter registered 6, 85'7 persons
coming through the Library in the month of May.
The Library staff and the volunteers, however, had a lot to catch up with since we had started to receive
large donations of books and other materials for the upcoming Friends' book sale. Our patrons showed
their generosity, with boxes and boxes of donated books. One of the most valuable donations, of 600
.
books, came just from one person; Farol Dahmen from Nikiski. We had to check everv item in order to
see whether we should keep it or offer it for sale.
This year the donations were unusually valuable for the Library collections -we added many new
books or replaced our worn-put copies.
We are looking forward to our summer reading program that will run from June 10 through July 8th.
This year's theme is "Bears" with "Good books are good friends"as its motto. Every pariicipant receives
a Winnie-the-Pooh book bag and a button. Corey Hall, our Children and Youth Librarian, who will lead
the program, prepared a list of the "beary" good books for them to read this summer. All participants
will be invited to a wrap-up party where their receive prizes and books.
The Library is actively participating in the Kenai Chamber of Commerce "Hooked on Kenai" program.
Our King Salmon was generously donated by Tesoro and painted by the Library staff. Every week we
take a number of entries for the fish charters drawing at the Wednesday Chamber of Commerce lunch.

Monthly Administrative Report- June 2002
A total of 908 teens visited the Teen Center during June and a total of 2,312 patrons used
the Rec. Center. The Summer Rec. Program is off' to a slow start. To date a total of 14
children have registered (8 in the morning and 6 during the afternoon session). Plans
have been made to coordinate swimming activities with Boys and Girls Club on Friday's
as well as a number of other joint activities throughout the eight-week program.
The summer crews have been very busy performing a variety of routine and non-routine
maintenance tasks. Major activities have included turf and flower bed maintenance, sport
field maintenance, litter control, and general park maintenance. Four new score shacks
were constructed and installed at the Little League Complex through coordinated efforts
between Kenai Little League, Parks & Recreation. and Veco. Ten new banners
coinciding with the Chamber's "Hooked on Kenai" theme have been added to the Spur
Hwy, Willow St,. and Airport Way.
The KPHA hockey clinic was a great success. A total of approximately 95 .youth
participated in the clinic. A shinny hockey program rounded out the evening hours with
numbers reaching approximately 30 youth during each session. The skateboard ramps
are currently being welded at key points in an eft'on to reduce the noise level. Spraying
the underneath side of the ramps with urethane is also being explored as another option.
The season's first adult softball tournament is June 15th and 16th and 12 to 15 teams are
expected to participate. The association will be providing .a portable toilet and a
dumpster specifically for tournament use.

Precincts and Precinct Boundary Information
MEMO TO CLERKS
RE PRECINCT doj...
Polling Place List
6-10-02.doc... Dear Municipal Clerks,
I wanted to thank each of you for your help and patience while I have
been working on reapportionment, precincting and polling place
changes. While some precincts will not show much change, with a few
exceptions, each and every precinct boundary description, precinct line
and precinct number has changed. This due to our using a new mapping
system to create precinct lines based on census blocks. Changing to the
mapping system was part of a project that we started in 1'999 in
conjunction with the Department of Labor and the Census Bureau. The
focus for this project was using lines for boundaries that are visible
and/or definable. For example, this meant that we could no longer use
township and ranges or long/lat lines to describe boundaries. There
were also many precincts that had major changes to the boundaries due to
district boundary changes or changing precinct lines to better apportion
voter numbers or just to clean up existing precincts. There were also
several annexations to cities that required boundary changes. While
the major changes were a lot of work, even the small boundary change
created lots of work. This was because the exact location of each and
every named location, such as apartment buildings, condos, campgrounds,
coves, bays and harbors and all streets in every precinct had to be
verified and reassigned to the new precinct number. In addition we used
this project to develop an extensive data base for future use when
processing voter registration applications.
To help you understand where I am at in this project and what I still
have to do, I have attached a letter and a new polling place list for
all precincts in my region. After you read my letter, please review the
list of polling places for precincts in your community. Let me know if
I need to make any corrections to a polling place location or address.
·
I will also send to you a list of streets and named locations within the
new precincts as soon as they are activated in the voter registration
system. (sometime after July 1) .
Again thank you for your help, advice, and patience.

Dear Municipal Clerk,
I just wanted to share with you the latest information on the reapPortionment process that has kept me
very busy for the last 6 months.
The Supreme Court ruled on the final redistricting plan on 5/24. I could .not complete my work on
reapportionment until there was a final ruling. The preparation for this project has been very labor
intensive, however, there is almost an end in sight for getting the new precinct descriptions and maps
completed.
Part of the process of reapportionment is submitting all district and precinct changes to the Department
of Justice for pre-clearance. In addition to pre-clearing the new district and precinct numbers and
boundaries ! also have to pre-clear all existing polling place locations due to the. renumbering of the
precincts. There are also quite a few new polling place locations, those will to also be need to be pre-
)cleared.
/'
I will submit the pre-clearance request to DOJ for both state and municipal elections. This submission
will include all polling places that are currently being used and those that are going to change. You will
not have to do any additional pre-clearance for polling places unless for some reason a location is not
available during a municipal election.
The new precinct regulations are being pre-cleared and adopted as emergency regulations due to the
lateness of our' receiving a final reapportionment plan.
In addition to advertising the precinct changes in local newspapers, I am required to post three notices of
a precinct boundary change within each precinct. The posters will notify voters that the. precinct
boundaries have changed and that they can get copies of the precinct boundary descriptions by
contacting us, visiting our web site (www.elections.state.ak.us), or review copies in municipal clerks
offices. In a few weeks l wiil be sending copies of precinct maps and boundary descriptions to you. I wiil
include an original color map and description for each precinct in your area. I will also include extra sets
for public review. In addition, I may need your assistance to 9et these posters put up in precincts within
your community. I know that you too are very busy, let me know if you need help, maybe we can ask
one of the precinct workers to help 9et them posted.
As always I value your assistance with election related projects.
Sincerely,
Pam Crowe, Election Supervisor
