MOTION: Councilman Bookey MOVED to approve Resolution No. 2002-73 and Councilwoman Porter SECONDED the motion. Bill Popp, Oil and Gas Liaison for the Kenai Peninsula Borough -- Popp noted the following issues concerning the exploratory drilling program at Katalla, Alaska: · The drilling program in question is out of the range of the Kenai Peninsula Borough as it is adjacent to Cordova, though ff the operations prove fruit~l, the Kenai area would directly benefit from newly created jobs. · Provided a brief history of Cassandra Energy and clarified in the 1980's Cassandra was not involved with the development talks. Katalla has a long history with oil development and Cassandra Energy strongly believes there is a wealth of resources to be found. · Stated the Kenai Peninsula Borough has not endorsed this project; he is personally endorsing. Bill Stevens, President of Cassandra EnerEy-- Stevens noted the following: · The sub-surface belongs to Chugach Alaska Corporation. · All environmental assessments and comment periods have been met. The project has been in the permitting phase for 25 months and has received no opposition and he feels this indicates a clear lack of resistance by any environmental and permitting agencies. The operation itself will be worked out of Kenai and he projected $2.5 million in both wages and transportation costs.

Frates, Parks & Recreation Director'l~ DATE: November 14, 2002 Monthly Administrative Report A total of 1,571 teens visited the Teen Center in October and a total of 1,352 patrons used the Recreation Facility. One major change for the Teen Cemer will be the addition of the Boys and Girls Club Teen Program joining our team. With approval, implememation is tentatively set for the first week in December. Our Men's Basketball Program started November 4th and is running smoothly. The Kenai Rotary Club participated in another clean up day at Municipal Park. Several more beetle-kill trees were removed in conjunction with raising the canopy of the spruce trees. The smaller brash piles have been removed and the larger piles will be removed as soon as arrangements can be made with the appropriate equipment and personnel. Additionally, Steve Booth (Booth's Landscaping) reviewed his Munic!pal Park site design plan with the Parks & Recreation Commission at their November 7~ meeting and some valuable feedback was given. Mr. Frank Getty is 'cominuing with his push for donations for a cemetery gazebo. To date I believe he has received nearly $1,000. Moreover, he is still very interested in water at the cemetery. The Kenai Rotary Club, Councilman Joe Moore, and a handful of KCHS students will begin construction on the Multi-Purpose Warming shacks this weekend. The pole decorations have been ordered and by last report they had already arrived in Seattle. Tentative arrival date is November 19th. Total cost was $6,500. Micah Rogers spent a busy November thus far hanging white lights at the Visitors Center, Senior Cemer, Library, City Hall, LeifHansen Park and Softball Greenstrip. Special programming activities are curremly being planned at the Multi-Purpose Facility for the November 29ih Christmas Comes to Kenai Program. nal Municipal Airport School Tours: Thc airport conducted tours for 21= first grade students from Tustamcna Elementary and 26 = fourth and fif~ graders from North Star Elementary in October. The students also toured the Control Tower and the Kenai Flight Service Station. Alaska Airlines Diverts ?37s: On Friday, November 8, Kenai Airport accepted diverted aircraft from Anchorage due to low visibility. Included were two Alaska Airline 737's and three cargo jets. The aircraft fueled and remained on the ground here for about 2.$ hours. Numerous small aircraf~ also diverted to Kenai. Acting Airport Manager Mary Bondurant did an excellent job of addressing issues of parking, FAA security and coordination with City Police and Fire Departments. Her 10 years experience dealing with similar issues at the Kodiak Airport paid off and demonstrated that Kenai can handle many types of aircrat~. More Diversions: On Wednesday, November 13, low visibility in Anchorage again caused several aircraft to divert to Kenai. Frontier Airlines diverted two 1900s. Those passengers were deplaned into the terminal where they were able to patronize our restaurant. Airport Terminal Parking Lot and Driveway Reconfiguration Project: Phil Bryson presented drawings and preliminary ideas to Airport Commission for discussion. The first task is to identify the needs of all user groups and then work to. meet those needs while maintaining security and accessibility. We plan to use the November and December meetings to develop several options and then send letters to all user groups inviting them to the January meeting with the goal of bringing a recommendation to Council in February. Aircraft Handicap Lift: The Airport Manager has been working with Paul Landis at Era Aviation for several years on compliance with ADA and Air Carrier Access Act requirements for boarding disabled passengers. The issue was complicated by the unique configuration of thc Convair 580. Since the recent decision to phase=out the Convair from the Kenai market, Mr. Landis has provided information on his preference for a passenger lifL His letter is in your packet under reformation items. It has been a common practice within thc industry for the airport to purchase loading equipment and the carrier to maintain and operate the equipment. There is also a possibility FAA funding may be utilized for the purchase. A standard letter of agreement will be forwarded to the City Manager for review along with recommendations for equipment purchase. KCHS Work=Experience Program: Kenai Central High School student John Cook is working at the airport under the KCHS work-experience program. This is the second time the airport has participated in this program. Additional information on the program is included under information items. Annual Air Fair: Staff has started planning and working with volunteers and the Soldotna Airport for this annual event. The tentative date is set for May 31st. Christmas Lights: Kudos to Steve Kegler, our seasonal groundskeeper, for the many hours he has invested in stringing extension cords and hanging lights. We will continue to add to the displays over the next week. Off=Airport Vehicle Rental Concessions: The Airport Commission had requested the Airport Manager send a letter to all businesses potentially affected by this proposed fee inviting them to participate in a discussion at thc next Airport Commission meeting. The letter was not sent and thc item deleted from thc Commission agenda, as Council has taken up the discussion and referred it to the City Attorney. Airport Commission Christmas Meeting: The December 12 Airport Commission meeting will be held at the new Operations Facility as requested. Refreshments will be served and tours conducted for those who have not seen thc facility.

Although the tourists are gone for the winter, our Internet workstations are still heavily used by local Library patrons. Every month we also see a larger number of people accessing the library catalog - WebPac - from home and other locations. Our patrons seem to enjoy the convenience of checking the Library's holdings, renew their books or place holds on popular items without having to leave their house or calling the Library. Every week the Library staff is updating the NeW York Times bestsellers and other lists that are linked to the catalog. The most important October event at the Library is the Friends of the Library fund-miser - the dinner and raffle event. The library windows and sides of the bookshelves were covered with names of the people and business who had purchased the raffle tickets. All the raffle tickets were sold and the two evenings at the Eagles club were a great success. The entertainment by the Spur Highway Spankers and the prime rib dinner were enjoyed by ail. This year's grand prize winner of 7,500 dollars was Barbara Walters. 11/14/2002 163 Main Street Loop Kenai, Alaska 99611 REPORT FOR OCTOBER, 2002 CIRCULATION Adult Juvenile Fiction 2008 Non-Fiction 1720 Periodicals 61 Cassettes Intemet Access CDs Kits Misc. 199 813 106 9 59 Total Printed Materials .............. 6535 Total Circulation ............................ 9142 WEBPAC Searches ..........................962 389 284 Puzzles 4 Easy Books 1653 420 Videos 1348 DVD 69 ADDITIONS Docs Adult Juvenile Gif[s Purchases Total Additions ................................

The study being conducted by the Corps was originally envisioned as being a single study. However, given the complex issues involved and the amount of resource agency and public interest in the Kenai River it became apparent that a far more specific, or specialized breakout of the work would be required. The complex issues include the full nature of the erosion mechanisms of the bluff, impacts to the dunes and adjacent wetlands, and impacts to marine resources within the river. 2. The study is currently being addressed as a three-component study. The first component will be to determine the marine resources within the Kenai River. To date, the full extent of these resources has not been quantified. The Corps has prepared a draft winter study plan and is coordinating this plan with the resource agencies (Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Alaska Dept. offish and Game, and National Marine Fisheries Service) and the city of Kenai. A meeting is schedule for December 4~ in Kenai to discuss the study Plan. The winter studies will begin in December and continue through winter. 3. The second component of the study will be to address the sedimentation and erosion of the bluff, dunes, river channel, and other critical areas. A concern of the agencies is that the previous sedimentation study conducted by the University of Alaska might have a biased conclusion. The agencies were interested in have an expert, independent party evaluate the previous study and/or conduct its own study. A meeting was held on 29 July 2002 to discuss resource agency concerns. Those in attendance were members from the Corps of Engineers, Phil North~PA, Glenda Landau/ADF&G, and Craig Fischenich of the Corps' Waterways Experiment Station (WES). WES is a world- renowned research laboratory located in Vicksburg, Mississippi specializing in numerous technical fields including fiver and coastal hydraulics and environmental research and studies of riverine habitat. Craig stated he is familiar with the study area and the proposed project. He presented his opinions of the erosion mechanisms and UAA study, and potential areas of concern in project designs and environmental resource issues. Craig presented the capabilities of WES, stating that they could provide study guidance and conduct portions of the study. These studies are those identified by the resource agencies during review of the preliminary permit application submitted by PN&D. The Alaska District has coordinated with WES to prepare a draft scope of work, which details the sedimentation studies to be conducted by WES. This work will likely be initiated in March 2003. 4. The last component of the study will be the evaluation and design of bank stabilization measures. Preliminary designs were completed by PN&D. A scope of work for this effort is being prepared. This work will be a more detailed and expanded effort. 5. An issue recently raised is the type of study process, the recommendation that the study will have, and the level of coordination with resource agencies. Ultimately, will the recommended plan of this study be permittable by the Corps or will additional studies be required? There is no general Corps' authority for projects that protect private properties from stream bank erosion. However, the lack of a general authority does not preclude Congress fi'om directing the Corps to study and/or construct erosion control measures for these properties. The study process will be similar to a conventional Corps feasibility study by evaluating alternatives based on plan formulation, environmental (NEPA process), engineering, economic, and social criteria. It is intended that following the typically corps study process will afford the resource agencies ample opportunities to make comments and recommendation on the project. Under an optimistic outcome the final product of this study will to a large extent have been coordinated with the agencies and the study will have addressed the bulk of their concerns. 6. The Corps will continue to develop the scopes of work for the study. Given the fixed funding lim/t preparation of the scopes will involve an iterative process to maximize the amount of study without exceeding study funding. Development of the scope will be coordinated with the resource agencies, WES, and the City of Kenai. 7.

Williams and City Council Members Cary R. Graves, City Attorney November 14, 2002 Airplane Flat Tax, Cottonwood Clinic and Off-Airport Rental Car Fees o Attached is a draft ordinance on a flat personal property tax for non-commercial aircraft. The ordinance would leave the personal property tax the same as now for commercial aircraft but tax non-commercial aircraft at a flat rate of $75.00. During the work session there was discussion mentioning having the distinction be corporate and individually owned aircraft. In researching what other communities did, the distinction was usually drawn between commercial and non- commercial aircraft. Because of that, I drafted the ordinance along the same lines as the other communities, i.e. commercial and non-commercial. The result is really the same since almost all commercial aircraft are corporate aircraft. My understanding is that the draft ordinance will be discussed at the next Airport Commission meeting. There are also some clean up provisions in the ordinance clarifying some parts of the old personal property ordinance. e There were meetings November 8th and 13th on the proposal for Cottonwood Clinic. Council Member Jackman attended the meeting on November 8th. The DSH arrangement appears to be moving forward with the Borough providing the IGT for fiscal 2004. My understanding is that a resolution similar to ours will be before the Borough Assembly at the meeting of November 19th or December l0th. It might be a good idea for someone from the City to attend the Borough meeting to support the idea of the clinic in Kenai. The DSH arrangement is for the next fiscal year (2004). However, my understanding is the clinic will open in early 2004 with existing grant money out of a leased facility. The DSH funding is designed to help the clinic purchase the building to operate. Mayor John J. Williams and City Council Members November 14, 2002 Page 2 of 2 o The Council also asked me to prepare ordinances for an off-aircraft rental car fee and an alternative of a citywide rental car tax. Those are in the process of being drafted and will be in the next packet. I attended the Alaska Municipal Attorneys Association meeting on November 1 lth and 12th. It was one of the more informative AMAA meetings I have been to. Curfew roles and regulations for adult entertainment zoning were discussed and those are issues that have just come to the Legal Department for study via requests from the Police Department. It was informative to see how others have handled those issues. I also got elected Vice-President of the AMAA for this year. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Graves, City Attomey DATE- November 14, 2002 RE: Donation of Property to Non-Profits During the last policy work session, the Council requested that I research whether the City could donate property to the Kenai Historical Society and the Peninsula Arts Guild with a reversionary clause. KMC 22.05.010 provides: The City may sell, convey, exchange, transfer, donate, dedicate, direct, or assign to use, or otherwise dispose of City-owned real property, including property acquired, held for, or devoted to a public use, only in accordance with this chapter, and, with respect to properties acquired through foreclosure for taxes, in compliance with those terms and provisions of AS 29.53.360-385 which home- role municipalities are required to comply with. Disposal or sale of lands shall be made only when, in the judgment of the City Council, such lands are not required for a public purpose. (Emphasis added.) There are three ways in KMC 22.05 for the City to donate land: 1) For economic development under KMC 22.05.025. An example of this is the HEA facility. 2) To the United States, State of Alaska, or a political subdivision of the State (KMC 22.05.080(a)). Examples of this are the health center, courthouse and juvenile detention facility. 3) Donation of property valued at less than $10,000 to a non-profit low-income housing corporation (KMC 22.05.080(b)). Habitat for Humanity is an example of this. KMC 22.05 does not provide for donation of land to non-profits except in the limited circumstance described above. The Peninsula Arts Guild had earlier requested the property be donated to them but was given a lease instead because of the limitations of KMC 22.05. However, the city code could be amended to allow such donations. AS 29.35.010(8) allows a city to develop ordinances to acquire and dispose of real property. Mayor John J. Williams and City Cotmcil Members November 14, 2002 Page 2 of 2 The donation of property would have to be for a public purpose. McQuillen Mun Corp 3~39.19 (3ra Ed.). Donation of the property to support a local arts group or historical society would be for a public purpose, especially where a reversionary clause would allow the City to reacquire the property if the designated use stopped. The buildings discussed are currently on one lot. The lot would have to be subdivided for the conveyances to be done. Reversionary clauses in deeds are recognized under real property law. 31 C.J.S. Estates ~103. The reversionary clause to the Peninsula Arts Guild would be simple to draft. The one to the Kenai Historical Society would be more complicated. That's because the property is subleased by the Society to the Kenai Cooperative Preschool. While the Society does to some extent directly utilize the property, its primary use by them is as a revenue stream by virtue of the rent paid by the preschool. The Council would have to decide what event would trigger the reversion to the City (e.g., failure to utilize the building for meetings or as revenue stream by lease to the preschool or another.group). In summary, the Council could, after a code change, grant the property to the Peninsula Arts Guild and the Kenai Historical Society with reversionary clauses. Please let me know if you have any questions.
