City Council Meeting 21 January 2004
Subject: Juvenile Justice Delinquency Prevention Program
It has been a wonderful pleasure working with Linda Snow and Larry
Semmens on the feasibility of the Title V pass-thru application. It is
because of their diligence and patience that we were successfully
awarded this much needed grant.
The award has been a collective process; the Prevention Policy Board
(PPB) consisted of many community partners determined to assess and
meet the needs of our children. The Board identified ten indicators
contributing to delinquency factors based on Kenal-specific social and
demographic data. The Board then assessed viable, local community-
based programs eligible to meet delinquency prevention concerns. The
criterion was based on the Department of Juvenile Justice's Promising
and Effective Programs Guide. PPB identified the research-based
programs developed by the Boys & Gifts Clubs of America "SMART
Moves" and "Project Learn" as well as the US Department of
Education programs "PeaceMakers" and "I Can Problem Solve." The
above programs, described in greater detail below, are proven,
preventative measures targeting children aged three to fifteen.
Juvenile Justice Delinquency Prevention Programming is funded in
part by the Title V pass-thru grant from the Department of Health and
Social Services, Division of Juvenile Justice Division.
While the Boys & Gifts Clubs of the Kenal Peninsula will implement
the "PeaceMakers," "SMART Moves," and "Project Learn"
programming, the Kenaitze Head Start center will use the "I Can
Problem Solve" program for students four to five years old. An
abridged summary of the individual programs follows:
"I Can Problem Solve": The program trains children, aged four to five,
to generate a variety of solutions to interpersonal problems,
considering the consequences of these solutions and recognizing
thoughts, feelings and motives that generate problem situations.
"SMART Moves": This program focuses on children aged six to
fifteen. It encourages kids to make wise choices about drugs and
sexual involvement and to better navigate the challenging journey
from childhood to adulthood. "SMART Moves" addresses age-
appropriate issues and provides information and skills needed for
BOYS & GIR/.~ CIZrB5

youth to adopt the attitudes and the behaviors of healthy lifestyles and
positive character development.
"PeaceMakers": The curriculum teaches students positive attitudes and
values related to violence, and trains youth in conflict-related
psychosocial skills such as anger management, problem solving,
assertiveness, communication, and conflict resolution.
"Project Learn": Designed and proven by the National B&G Clubs of
America, the program helps youth to become high-achieving students
by providing a series of high-yield learning activities at after-school
and summer programs. The program is built around five major
components: homework help and tutoring, high-yield learning and
leisure activities, parent involvement, collaborations with schools, and
incentive reward programs.
For additional information regarding the success of the above
programs, individuals are warming invited to visit and observe staff
dedication and student involvement at any one of our local Boys &
Girls Clubs of the Kenai Peninsula.
In closing, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to Linda
Snow, Larry Semmens and to the Kenai City Council's commitment to
our future community leaders, our children today.

Dear Mr. Komelis
DATE:
P R 0 J E C T~..~'~,,~',~- ~ ~
I am pleased to approve the City of Kenai, Alaska, Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP)
for renewal in the Alaska Occupational Safety and Health (AKOSH) Safety and Health
Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP).
The WWTP was first recognized in this program August 18, 1999 and the site was m-
approved December 18, 2001 which expires December 18, 2003. At your company's request,
our AKOSH Consultation and Training section conducted an additional safety and health
evaluation of your program on October 1,2003. During that visit we verified that your company
still meets all SHARP eligibility criteria. The plant constantly maintains a high quality safety
and health program for its three employees.
From the beginning, you have exhibited commitment and hard work toward this goal, and
the recommendations our consultants made were received freely and implemented to enhance
your program. We congratulate you for the positive attitude related to safety and health
exhibited by you and your employees.
Participation in SHARP does not diminish any of the rights and responsibilities provided
to you and your employees by the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970. Although your
site will be removed from the scheduled inspection list for two years from the date of this letter,
employee complaints, fatalities or catastrophes, or a significant chemical leak or spill at your site
will still result in normal AKOSH enfomement activities.
If you have questions or need assistance, Krystyna Markiewicz of the Anchorage
AKOSH office is your contact person. She can be reached at (907) 269-4958. By February of
each year, when you post your injury log, please send her a copy of the log summary which
includes the injury and illness numbers and rates, the total hours worked, and the average annual
employment. Also include a copy of the most recent evaluation of your safety and health
program and any success stories to:

Re:
Basin View Special Assessment District
Parcel No. 4926129
Dear Ms. Freas:
Upon reviewing the final assessment I would like to bring some issues to your
attention.
· There is no drainage provided on Dolchok Lane from the comer of Basin View
and Dolchok south. All properties north have been provided proper drainage and
upgrades.
· The portion of pavement from the comer of Basin View and Dolchok was applied
over substandard upgrades and does not extend to 700 Dolchok Lane (Lot 2 Block
5) or even to Lot 3 Block 5.
· There were no cul-de-sac improvements.
This portion of Dolchok did not receive the same attention and upgrades as the rest of
the project as listed in Resolution No. 2002-52 dated the 17th of July 2002. In my
view this property should not be assessed equal to the other properties.
Sincerely,
Margaret Dolchok. ~ . ,, /)

On Monday, April 22, 2002, the attached Special Assessment Petition was received in
my office. According to KMC 16.05.030, the petition shall be si~ned by the owners of
.fifty percent or more of the properties which will be benefited by the proposed
unprovement. From the m,p supplied and the map and printout attached, it appears
there are 40 lots facing these streets, although the petition lists only 36. However.
there are 22 signatures on the petition, representing 22 of the lots which is more than
50% of the property owners who have signed the petition. A description of the
proposed improvement was also included, i.e. to have the roads strip paved without
curbs or gutters. ,
According to KMC 15.10.010, within sixty days after the filing of the petition (April 22,
2002), the City Manager must forward a survey of and report on the proposed
improvement, scope, estimated cost, etc. to the City Council. By my calculations, to
have the report of the City Manager to the council within the sixty days, the last
council meeting at which it could be presented would be June 19. Within thirty days
from that meeting, a prellmlrtary assessment roll is then to be ~ed with me and thirty
days within that filing, a resolution to set the public hearing on the proposed
improvement must be presented to council.
I will include a memorandum to council in the May 1, 2002 packet to inform them of
the receipt of the Special Assessment Petition.

ITEM 8: REPORTS
8-a. Council on Aging Chair -- Jurgensen noted the following:
· Over the years he has been on the Council on Aging, his biggest
frustration and of others has been how slow going it has been in regard to the
planning and development of an assisted living facility. He added, he believed the
membership, Council Member Swarner, and Director Craig had done a good job in
keeping the City Council alerted to the need of such a facility and the importance of
having a facility here because of the difficulty for elders to move into a facility where
they would have to leave familiar surroundings, friends, extended family, etc.
COUNCIL ON AGING MEETING

· He welcomed the new officers.
8-b. Director -- Director Craig noted the following:
· Gave a brief repot* relating to the Senior Connection and their
discussions of the possibility ~. :~grate assisted living rooms into the current senior
housing facility. Remodeling w. : be required to adapt the apartments and though
this was discussed several years ~: 7, [: was being given some additional review.
She also reported a project coordinator for managing the assisted living pre-
development grant had not yet been hired, however the market study was just
received. She noted the study indicated an average cost assisted living on the
Peninsula is $3,000 to $4,000 a month.
· Strategic planning is very important the Council on Aging can make
recommendations, but can also be an advocate for seniors in the community,
· A purchase was approved at the January 7 council meeting for the
development of plans for the remodel of the center's kitchen. Paperwork will then be
submitted to the Rasmuson Foundation to request additional funding for this purpose.
· Requested suggestions from the members as to special speakers for their
meetings. Suggestions included a presentation from Hospice and Adult Protective
Services.
· Asked if the members had heard comments from seniors relating to the
new buffet service and omission of the salad bar. It was reported lots of good
comments had been heard. Craig also reported the omission of the salad bar was
fmanciaily helpful. She reminded the membership, the salad bar would return in
March when prices for lettuce, fresh vegetables, etc. would be less.
8-c. CouncU Liaison -- Council Member Swarner noted the following:
· The terms of Members Jurgensen, Kuntzman, and Higiey were ending
this month and asked if they wanted to be reappointed. There were no objections.
· If a work session was desired to discuss strategic planning, it would need
to be advertised, etc.
· The Food Bank received additional funding to hire a part-time person
whose age was 55 or older.
· The 2004-2005 Capital Improvement List was approved at the January 7
council meeting.
· Mayor Will/2ms will attend the Alaska Conference of Mayors meeting in
Juneau the end of the month and she will be attending AML Legislative Committee
meetings there in April.
· A plaque in memory of Officer Watson would be prepared and hung at
the entrance of the Police Depmb~ent. Planning for a community memorial at
Memorial Park or other site would take place in the near future.

Mayor and Council
The Kenai Recreation Commission met this evening. They addressed the following
issues that were referred to them by the Council and the Administration:
Foreclosed Properties- the Recreation Commission recommended the retention of the
four properties that the administration had requested they consider for this purpose.
Reference attached memorandum from Mr. Frates to the Recreation Commission
dated December 22, 2003.
2. The Commission afldressed-a draft policy submitted by Mr. Frates for naming of
parks and recreation facilities. Changes were recommended for the dnffi as submitted
The Commission addressed the Multipurpose Facility upgrades plans that were
referred to them by the City Council. A representative of the Arctic Winter Games
Committee was present as well~ as Mr. Rick Baldwin. It was requested that Mr. Frates
work with the Public Works Department and Mr. Klauder to develop construction and
aunuat operating costs for tbe plans that were-referre&by Council. In addition costs
were to be determined for specific priority items, including mechanical ventilation to
overcome ex~ssive humidity, radiant heat in' ptayerseating areas, and an on premises
security camera and taping system. The Commission agreed that any facility, that is
funded fiuoagh Arctic Winter games sources, must be one that does not generate
unacceptable operating costs to the city in future years.
The Commission has requested' that Councit authorize 8 Commission meeting in
February in order that they can address the information they have requested.
Councit, I concur with their request. A February meeting will give them an
opportunity to review the information and get user group input on the proposal. It
maybe necessary to request further modifications to the proposal and have it come
back to them at their regularly scheduled March meeting. Optimistically, it would be
ready m come back, witlt a recommendation, to the Council's second meeting in
March or first meeting in April. A funding request could then go to the Arctic Winter
Games Committee in April: If fullfunding is not received fillback positions based on
established priorities could be developed.

Discussion -- Kenai Peninsula Borough Proposed Aircraft Flat Tax
Finance Director Semmens reported he attended the Assembly's Finance Committee
meeting on January 6 and explained the city would support an equ~li=ation across the
Peninsula but unless the city exempts the aircraft, there will still be a difference in
costs for keeping a/rcraft in Kenai. He added, they also discussed sharing a tax, i.e. if
a tax is non-areawide, a port/on could be paid to Kenal and other Peninsula
municipalities, though it was doubtful the Borough would do this.
Council Member Moore stated he understood the ordinance had little chance of
passing because it would create a revenue loss to the Borough of approx/mately
$179,000. Coundl Member Bookey noted, if there is a revenue loss, another revenue
source will need to be found and that if the ordinance passed, there could be other
groups requesting the same type of exemption.

Consc:. ~ ':vuncfl was to wait and see what action is taken by the Assembly and
then rea~a. ~x~y Manager Snow reported, as directed by council, she had scheduled a
meeting on January 13 with Assembly Members Chay, Superman and Glick to discuss
the issue further prior to their final public hearing on January 20.
Henry Knaci~tedt -- Noted the Airport Commission had discussed having a flat tax
for some time in order to encourage planes to move back onto the Kenal airport
instead of being kept in Anchorage and other areas.
Porter noted, when planes are moved out of Kenal, it also affects subsidiary
businesses, i.e. maintenance, hangar facilities, etc. Moore also noted, Anchorage calls
their fee a registration fee per engine and added, if the Borough would charge a
registration fee, the fee may be able to be passed through to the municipal/ty where
the aircraft is kept.
Williams stated council would delay action pending the outcome of administration's
discussions and action of the Assembly. He noted, if the ordinance does pass, it
would not become effective until January, 2005 and that would allow the council to
consider other action.
Moore noted, the issue at hand is the Assembly's ordinance and encouraged aircraft
owners to attend the Assembly meeting and speak to the issue.
ITEM J: REPORT OF THE MAYOR -- Williams noted the fo[lowing:
He will be attending a transportation meeting in Anchorage relating to
the high-speed ferry, as well as with representatives from Congressman Young's office,
January 14.
· He will attend the Alaska Conference of Mayors meeting in Juneau,
January 25-27.
Discussion fo[lowed relating to the letter included in the packet from EADS North
America who stated their interest in leasing a facility either from the city or other
entity for use as a plant to assemble helicopter laser obstacle warning systems. If an
existing facility is not available, it would be their desire for the city to identify a
process and mechanism sufficient to support design, construction and lease a facility
to EADS North America for their enterprise.
A lengthy discuss/on followed in which caution was expressed relating to a long-term
lease, i.e. the company may want the city to build a facility and lease it back to them
and the lease with the company should be long enough to cover costs to the city.
Philosophical concerns were also expressed by Mayor Will/~ms. The consensus of
council was administration should contact EADS and discuss the issue further.

· Referring to a letter included in the packet from James Shill, North Star
Behavioral Health System who stated their interest in developing a residential
treatment center in Kenai, Williams stated he, Snow and Attorney Graves would
contact Shill in the morning. A brief discussion followed regarding the process if there
are two or more entities interested in purchasing the same piece of property. It was
noted also, there are three organizations who have stated interest in developing similar
projects, but not all are interested in the same piece of property.
· The list of expiring terms for commission and committee members were
noted and Clerk Freas was instructed to contact all those listed and ask if they want
to have their appointments continued for another three-year term.
ITEM K:
ADMINISTRATION REPORTS
K-1. City Manager -- City Manager Snow noted the following:
· She met with Senator Wagoner regarding the formation of an ad hoc
committee to discuss the possibility of the establishment of a state sales tax. Finance
Director Semmens will attend the committee meetings.
· The Borough Assembly passed a resolution authorizing the planning of a
new multi-use building for 911 dispatch, Central Emergency Services Administration,
and Borough Office of Emergency Management. She requested direction from council
as to whether they wanted her to continue pursuing the Borough's use of the fire
training facility to house the EOC. She added, there could be political rarnl/ications
and wanted council's support relating to continued efforts.
A lengthy discussion followed in which it was noted there are legitimate needs for a
911 dispatch center and CES administration office; the city does not want to detract
from the Borough's need to acquire funding for this purpose; the development of a
duplicate EOC will not detract from the city's development of an EOC; and, it is
important to continue a strong working relationship with borough employees and the
Assembly and it would not be productive to compete for the same funds.
Williams stated council's directive to administration was to continue seeking funding
to complete the city's EOC as was intended.

Park Naming Policy
Attached is a draft Park Naming Policy that was reviewed by the Parks & Recreation
Commission at their last regular meeting on January 8~. The Commission recommended
the draft policy to Council for adoption, however, requested that the second paragraph
under Item I be eliminated.
The criteria listed to determine appropriateness of name designation such as geographical
location, history and culture, environment, civics and services are pretty standard with
other communities. However, I found there to be some variances with respect to naming
parks aRer living and non-living individuals. My recommendation is that an individual
must be deceased for a minimum of three years, in addition to the remaining criteria as
outlined.
December 24, 2003
PARK NAMING POLICY
Purpose
The purpose of the policy is to establish standard procedures and criteria for the purpose
of naming parks and recreation areas and related facilities owned by the City of Kenai.
Parks & recreation areas include open spaces, buildings, structures, public parks, trails,
sports fields, and natural areas.
Policy Statement
The naming of parks and recreation facilities and areas shall be the responsibility of the
Kenai City Council. Name considerations shall be first reviewed by the Parks &
Recreation Commission who will forward a recommendation to the City Council.
All requests for naming will be submitted to the Kenai City Clerk in writing. Notification
will be made to the public that a request has been made, and input fi.om the public sought
for a period of 30 days.
Criteria
Consideration will be given in accordance with an emphasis on community values and
character, geography, history or cultural significance, environment, civics and service as
related to the community of Kenai.
1. The following criteria shall be used to determine the appropriateness of the name
designation:
a. G-eographicai location - an adjoining subdivision, street, naturai features,
or other significant areas.
b. History or cultural - a commonly recognized historical event or place of
historical or cultural significance.
c. Environment - a feature(s) particularly identified with the land.
d. Civics and Services - An individual (deceased for a minimum of three
years) or organization that made a significant and positive contribution to
parks, recreation, and culture in the community where the park or facility
is located, or
Where an individual(s) have made a si~tmificant contribution to the
acquisition or development of land in memoriam for an individual that
contributed significantly to the parks, recreation, and culture in the
community as a whole. This may be done through a significant gift of
land or substantial monetary contribution toward the development of a
park or facility (not less than 50% of development costs).
Those submitting a name request must demonstrate how the proposed name is
consistent with the criteria stated in this policy and fully substantiated. When
naming after a person or persons, the proposal shall include a written
documentation of approval by next of kin to be honored, if available or possible.
As a general rule, portions ora park or facility will not have a name other than
that of the entire facility. However, facilities within a park can be named
separately from the park and/or facility in which they are located, subject to the
general guidelines outlined in this policy.
4. While serving in a public office, public officials shall not be considered as a
candidate for naming.
5. The cost of a plaque, marker, or memorial will be the responsibility of the
person(s) making the request.
6. A name, once bestowed, is permanem.

Strectlight Maintenance Agreemenm with I-lEA
As the result of problems encountered in late November with the lengthy streetlight outage in the
Inlet Woods Subdivision, Larry Scmmens, Keith Kornelis, and I attended a meeting on January
84 with Homer Electric Association (HEA) Interim Manager, Rick Eckert, Member Services
Manager, Sandra Ghormley, and Assistant Manager of Engineering Services, Brad Hibberd.
The first item of discussion at the meeting was the misunderstanding created when the City was
told by an HEA employee that HEA was no longer responsible for Inlet Woods streetlight repairs
when, in actuality, they were. It was clarified, however, that the costs involved for the types of
repairs that were necessary in Inlet Woods are borne by the City.
Additional clarifications were achieved during the meeting, such as I-lEA ownership of the
wooden poles and the flat fee charged to the City per month for each s~'eetlight on a wooden
pole. Another area of clarification was City ownership of the metal poles and how they are
metered and billed. HEA agreed to research the possibility of providing the city with a more
efficient billing mechanism. Attached please find a memo from Larry Semmens describing the
status of agreements with I-IEA for maintenance of streetlights.

HEA streetlight maintenance contract
In 1995 the City executed a contract with I-lEA that required I-lEA to provide
maintenance on streetlights. The conu'act provided that bulbs and ballasts would be
replaced without charge, but electrical work or vandalism repair would be charged at
regular I~A rates.
HEA recently billed the City about $10,000 for electrical work that had been done over
the past 18 months. The work was not authorized by purchase orders and the City was
not aware that work had been done. In the course of reviewing internal procedures, HEA
determined that it was not in their interest to continue the maintenance contract. The
termination provisions in the contract required a six-month notice. H~A offered to cease
pursuit of the contested billings in return for early termination of the co~u~sct. Since the
contract was going to be terminated, either at the end'of December or at about the end of
May at the latest, it was in our best interest to agree to the terms offered.
Under the new arrangement I-IEA continues to maintain streetli~hts on wooden poles
because they own them. The City pays a flat fee of $14.$6 per month for each streetlight
on a wooden pole. IdEA is not required to provide any maintenance on streetlights on
metal poles and we agree that the City owns all of these. Streetlights on metal poles are
metered. Each meter is billed a flat fee of $24 per month plus metered electricity
charges. In some cases there are many streeflights on one meter. These are the same
charges that were in effect while we opo-~ed under the maintenance contract.
This means we need to find an alternative for maintaining the streetlights we own and our
costs will increase at least the amount of bulbs and ballast. Since IlEA did not bill us for
$10,000 of work that they did, we should expect electrical type maintenance costs to
increase also. The City has used Kachemak Electric for streetlight maintenance work that
IlEA either couldn't get to on a timely basis or was o,t~de of their normal maintenance
scope.

SUB J: Investment Report
At December 31, 2003 the City investment portfolio had a market value of
$34,125,132.31. The portfolio yield is 2.39% compared to 3.07% last year and 4.69%
two years ago. The breakdown of types of investments held is:
US Agency Securities
AML Investment Pool
Bank Balance
$32,579,919.87
$ 1,323,881.28
$ 221,331.16
Rates continue to hover near all time lows and no improvement is expected prior to the
end of 2004.
My base strategy of investing these funds is to buy and hold. As cash is available I
invest it at the best rates available within the time frames necessary to meet cash flow
needs. Many of the securities in the portfolio are callable, which means the issuer can
redeem the security for the par amount at their option. A cell occurs only when rates
are falling, which means that the investor will reinvest at a lower rate of interest. On a
very infrequent basis I sell a security to increase yield by purchasing another higher
yielding investment. If you have any questions or comments about the City's
investments please contact me. A copy of the portfolio is attached.

E-MaiVIntemet
Earlier I reported that we planned to change imemet service providers. As it tums out,
GCI is unable to host our website, so I have abandoned that plan.
In the course of analyzing what we need, I spoke to ACS about the services they are
providing and could provide. When prices were discussed, I pointed out that the
competition provided faster speeds for less cost. This resulted ACS determining that they
had neglected to inform us of price reductions enacted by them. We will be receiving
credits in excess of $3,000.
Apparemly there is a question about why I didn't know that ACS was billing us
improperly. ACS was billing us according to our agreement with them and unless I
monitor the deal du jour by calling and asking about price changes, I could not know that
there was a price reduction. I would hope that in the future, should such a benefit be
made available, ACS would notify their existing customers.
We continue to have difficulty with e-mail. By its nature e-mail is not 100% reliable and
when the system goes down it is sometimes very difficult to determine the cause of the
failure and to fix it. ACS is working on a proposal to host e-mail for the City, which
would shift the burden of keeping it running almost entirely to ACS. If an agreement
cannot be reached with ACS for e-mail hosting, there are numerous other non-local
vendor' s.

From: Chuck Kopp, Chief of Police
Date:. January 15, 2004
Rm December 2003 Report
I wish to thank our City administration and council for the love and support displayed to the police
department, and to individual officers and their families these past few weeks. It has been very
affirming to all our staff to see many tangible acts of caring demonstrated in so many ways by our entire
community.
Losing Officer John Watson has been difficult, having him murdered makes it even more so. The road
to recovery and "normalcy" will take a bit of time, but I am pleased with how well the officers and
dispatchers are taking care of business. I thank all of you for your prayers. The criminal investigation
now consists mainly of laboratory processing of evidence and trial preparation (possibly to begin as
early as Apd12004).
The KenaJ Police Department responded to 496 calls for sen/ica. The Communications Center
received two hundred thirty-one 9-1-1 calls for emergency assistance.
164 traffic enforcement contacts were made, resulting in 90 citations for speed, seetbeti, equipment and
other violations. 57 arrests were made for misdameenor and felony offenses. The department
responded to 46 motor vehicle crashes. 13 crashes involved injuries to drivers and/or passengers.
12/01/2003 Chief Kopp attended the Alaska Police Standards Council meeting in Anchorage, and
12/02 - 12/05/2003 Chief Kopp and Lt. Wennamakar attended a Public Safety Executive Development
Seminar for law enforcement officials in Anchorage.
12/11/2003 Officers Langseth, George, Langham, Ross, and Tumage all attended a one-day seminar
on sexual assault evidence processing at the State of Alaska Crime Lab.
Officers were involved in four (4) jury tdals, associated grand jury appeerancas, and other court
heanngs, which totaled 40.5 hours of Court OT. Call-outs for the death investigation of Officer Watson
attributed 52.5 hrs of OT.
Municipal Airport
Airport Manager's
Monthly Report
January 15, 2004
Update of Airport Supplemental Planning Assessment: Airport Manager and Airport
Administrative Assistant are developing the RFP.
Airport Security: Congress has approved the federalization of Kenai, Homer and Valdez
airport. Era Aviation has requested an exemption for Kenai. As of this writing, the Department
of Homeland Security has not issued a decision.
-AA Inspections: The annual Airport Certification Inspection is scheduled for January 26 - 30.
All airport staff and Fire Dep~.h.ent personnel are working to ensure everything is in order for
this very important inspection.
Airport Maintenance: Snow and ice control continues to be a challenge both for manning and
budgetary reasons. The crews have done a good job of keeping ahead of the weather and
everyone is working hard to maintain our reputation of the best-maintained airfield on the
Peninsula.
Upcoming Projects: Airport Commission is scheduled to review plans for the Terminal
Driveway/Sidewalk/Parking Lot upgrades, Security Cameras and Security Gate Modification
Projects at the February Commission Meeting.
Terminal Janitorial Contract: Over the last three months the office has received numerous
complaints from tenants and the traveling public concerning the lack of satisfactory janitorial
service. I have had several meetings and innumerable telephone conversations with our current
contractor concerning what is, in my opinion, substandard performance. I am discussing options
with the City Attorney and City Manager. Once again, the airport terminal is a show place for
the City of Kenai and it should reflect the pride we have in our City and community.

The State has changed the way we document our Adult Day Service food clients. Instead
of being considered home clients they are now counted as Congregate Meals. Our
December 2003 Meal count is reflective of that compared to the December 2002 count.
The Center had a total of 824 volunteer hours for the month of December.
December was a busy season at the senior center with elementary schools, preschools,
and various groups coming to entertain the seniors. Not only were they entertained but
our seniors did community outreach. We had "Breakfast with Santa" where Kenai
children come with parents, have a pancake breakfast, visit with Santa and have their
picture taken. Approximately 50 children with parents participated.
One of the yearly highlights during the holiday season is the Christmas Tea and Cookie
Exchange. We had at least 30 women present. The seniors enjoyed different types of
flavored tea and many different kinds of cookies to try, share and take home.
Our seniors went to Chamber and received our honorary award for the "Christmas Comes
to Kenai Float." If you have been to the Center during Christmas you would have seen
some of the Victorian Carolers decorating our front entryway that were on the float.
Our Christmas Party Luncheon and New Year's Eve Luncheon were celebrated with 125
seniors present at each function. On the Christmas Eve Luncheon the Midnight Sun
Quartet entertained.

manganese levels are high but treatable. I am continuing to discuss treatment options with a couple of
water treatment companies. I wrote a letter to the State starting the procedure needed to purchase this well
site. I made it clear that the City Council would make the final decision.
Streetliqhts: HEA stopped maintaining the streetlights that are on steel poles for the city on January 1,
2004. Many of these lights were originally unmetered and the Regulatory Commission of Alaska tariff for
unmeterad lights includes maintenance while metered lights do not. HEA has installed meters. Kachemak

Watson memorial, filled the sand bins and public sand pile, and worked on signs.
Water & Sewer & STP: We have plowed snow for streets, airport, and water/sewer facilities, worked

Monthly Administrative Report - December
Budgetary preparations and other administrative duties including MPF ice reservations,
dasher board advertising amendments, and rental of the MPF storage room has kept the
Director busy. The Groundskeeper has remained active grooming Nordic trails, keeping
the cemetery and crew building clear of snow and constructing a new informational sign
for the Nordic trails.
A couple cold days in early and late December resulted in four hours of cancelled ice and
had a negative impact on public skate throughout the holiday break. The facility acquired
some ceiling leaks in the zam room, refrigeration room, and storage room toward the end
of December. The leaks have been minor since the heat trace has been temporarily
turned off, however, snow on the roof above these rooms will need to be removed in
addition to adding heat t.at~e as a precautionary measure. An error reading on one of the
compressors on January 5 is also being looked into.
Administration is still working on renting of the storage room and upgrades, in addition
to, gathering information on possible MPF upgrades for the 2006 Arctic Winter Games.
Reports fi.om James Clark (Boys & Girls Club) with regard to the Rec. Center operation
have been positive and he has indicated that the program is going smoothly. He has been
encouraged by the daily patron use and is expecting trend to continue.

Subject: Kenai Community Library Monthly Report - December 2003
In December the Library had a small drop in circulation numbers. We are happy to report
though that in the overall figures we are 2.4 % ahead for the first six months as compared with
last year.
Although many patrons were disappointed by not having the traditional Library Christmas
Party, we held one Christmas event at the Library - an anonymous donor funded Carol Ford's
performance of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas". It was attended by a total of 69 people on
Saturday, December 21 and offered a wonderful repdeve from Christmas shopping for both the
kids and their parents.
Apart from the book collections, the Library's computers with Internet access continue to be
the most popular service. The library now offers wireless access for those who have their
laptops equipped with a wireless card. The Wireless Access Point allows access to the
Internet anywhere in the Library building_. In order to keep up with the newest technology,
Library patrons can now use the USB ports on all computers - either to use their USB memory
sticks or their digital cameras.
Another new development is the high use of the Library's scanner that was purchased with the
Gates Foundation grant money. Patrons scan documents, photographs, pictures or graphics
from books and use our desktop and web publishing programs.
In preparation for the forthcoming catalog migration to Horizon we have received the first
installment of materials and forms from Dynix; and many more are coming. The next few
weeks will be a time to review the catalog and circulation system set-up, making suggestions
for changes, additions, or deletions. The Library staff is cleaning records and weeding obsolete
materials. All the data transfer and testing is going to be done by a team of specialists via the
Internet. In April and May, Dynix will fly out 4 or 5 people from Utah to setup hardware and
Horizon software and train the staff. The new system is scheduled to go on-line on June 9.
IRS Tax Forms and Permanent Fund Applications are now available at the Library.

IlL NEW BUSINESS
A. Kenai River Hydrocarbon Study 2003, Tim Stevens and Kent Patrick-
Riley, ADEC
Jonne Slemons introduced Tim Stevens and Kent Pa~ck-Riley of ADEC who
presented the preliminary results of the Kenai River Petroleum Source
Assessment 2003 by power point. A handout was provided to each board
member of the presentation. Tim began by thanking all the partners that
helped out with the study: Kenai Watershed Forum, ADF&G Sportfish and
Commercial Fish Divisions, City of Soldotna, Division of Parks & Outdoor
Recreation, USGS and numerous other volunteers. This is a preliminary
report with the final report slated for January. Tim said this water quality
study was prompted by past studies done by Trout Unlimited in 1997 and
those done by the Kenai Watershed Forum samplings done in 2000, 2001 and
2002. Tim reviewed the project goals:
A. Determine the sources of petroleum entering the lower Kenai
River
B. Determine the spatial distribution of petroleum
C. Detenni~ ~ c,~e temporal variation of petroleum
In describing the sampling plan, Tir~, said ~ : "~dy looked at all potential
sources of petroleum (storm water, bo:~ ,~ .t,r~. :~rbc, r activity, contaminated
sites, on river commercial fueling faciliu,~. '?. ~, spacial (Soldotna Bridge to
the harbor), as well as t::nvoral variations (fishing season, commercial fishing
openings, diurnal variatio::.s etc.). Tim said they were interested to see if
hydrocarbons were found on" in the thalweg, (The line down the center of the
main channel of a stream; ,~.~. ~st, swiftest area of the river.) or if
hydrocarbons might he coming in from other sources outside the sampling
areas.
Some of the other sampling locations were: storm drain outfalls, harbor area,
and representative habitat areas. Them was an intensive sampling done on
June 25th, every four hours (4am - 8pm), and between July 20th through July
22 every 2 hours during this 72 hour period. The handout showed a map with
the sampling locations.
Tim said their sampling schedule called for testing below storm drain outfalls
during storm events once each during spring, summer and fall, but the summer
event could not be accomplished as them were never any rain storms of any
significance last summer. Samples were taken during peak motor boat use
days every Tuesday May 20th through August 26ta. Harbor sampling was done
a[ the summer ebb tide and flood tide as well as in the spring and fall.
Tim said the parameters tested were for Total Aromatic Hydrocarbons, Total
Aqueous Hydrocarbons and basic water quality parameters such as
temperature, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, pH, etc.). There were 284
samples collected with a quality control of 97%. The preliminary results show
that contaminated pound water and other sources do not appear to be
contributing measurable levels of petroleum to the Kenai River.
He then showed several graphs with'the petroleum sampling results from near
storm drains, at various river miles, during various levels of boat traffic and
within the water column.' Tim said that during intensive sampling period
between July 20-22, 285 boats were counted were on Sunday 7/20, and 379
were counted on Tuesday 7/22. Kenai Watershed Forum assisted with the
boat counts, and also disting~shed in their counts -bet~veen 4 stroke and 2
stroke motors.
The data clearly showed an increase in petroleum levels as one travels down
river, and a clear correlation between increased boa~ traffic with higher levels
of petroleum in the samples. Of particular note was that even though boat
Kenai River Special Management Area Advisory Board
Minutes - November 20, 2003
counts were lower on Sunday 7/20, petroleum levels were higher than with a
higher boat count on Tuesday 7/22. This was thought to be the result of more
two stroke engines in use on Sundays. It was noted that most of the Kenai
River guides have converted to 4 stroke engines, and although the total boat
count was higher on 7/22, it is notable that the petroleum levels were lower
than on a day with fewer boats. Also noted was the petroleum was mixed
throughout the whole water column, and not just in the surface water area.
Additionally of note was that the fiver level was 25% higher than normal this
past summer due to high levels of snow and ice melting, so had the water
levels been average, the concentration of petroleum would have even been
higher, had all of the other factors held constant.
Tim concluded his presentation by discussing some of the steps DEC is
considering. They hi~p~ to perform modeling to address various factors that
may influence petroleum levels in the water column, such as how flow levels,
total number of power boats, and different types' of engines may affect
petroleum levels that might be expected. This would help the resource
agencies identify different management options that would help to ensure that
water quality is maintained.
At this point Tim and Kent opened discussion with the board members to ask
questions. Some of the primary concerns from board members included:
A. At what level is the petroleum harmful to the fish, and were there
samplings done at the river edge' where the juvenile fish live and
migrate? Tim said they have asked Fish & Game for information
regarding the effects of petroleum on fish.
How were the standards used developed? Tim said every state
adopts their own standards and then EPA has to approve it.
Concerns about the harbor testing due to differences in tides and
what they bring in and what types of petroleum products are in the
harbor. Tim said the harbor has complicated issues because of the
salt water influence and tides. Most products sampled were Btex
(gasoline range organics).
D. Were the results compared with those'of the Kenai Watershed
Forum? Tim said they did compare the July 22aa sampling with
those of KWF and they were very similar.
E. Who was the contractor for these studies? Tim: Oasis
Environmental out of Anchorage.
F. DOT site is below Swiftwater and contaminated sites in Sterling
are above. How much is dissipated by the time the sampling is
done? Tim said DOT has stated the petroleum from the DOT site is
~ ' ::' not reaching the river at this time, and due to the lack of detectable
petroleum at the Sw~ftWater sac, it ~s not beheved that the
contaminated sites are contributing measurable amounts to the
Kenai River Special Management Area Advisory Board
Minutes - November 20, 2003
river. They also noted that when boa[ vas low, there was no
detectable petroleum in the water, and h ..:: ~as another source
other than boats, it would show up when b~ ~ls use is low.
G. Why is the petroleum not evaporating mom q ~y like in other
water systems? Kent said them are so many unknowns, but it is
likely due to the temperature of the river. In the lower 48 the time
fuel is in the water is minimal but here we are not sure how long it
takes to dissipate.
H. What is the plan for providing information regarding use of 2-
stroke vs. 4-stroke motors? Tim said there is data on the efficiency
of 4- stroke vs. 2-stroke that will be provided to the board at a later
date.
I. Does the petroleum have an effect on plankton? Tim said Trout
Unlimited looked at storm drain outfalls and noted changes in
macro invertebrates and did see a change in species diversity at the
Soldotna outfall. This may be an indication of the effect of
pollution on macro invertebrates.
J. Kent stated that a conservative estimate was made of 10,000
gallons of petroleum in the river during July alone. Two stroke
engines are notorious for contributing 2040% of their fuel
unburned right into the river. Higher percentages of unburned fuel
are introduced into the water at low rpm (idling) speeds.
Robin then asked the board mem~rs if they wanted to for a committee now or
wait until the final report is available in January. Jonne suggested waiting
until the final report is out in January.
B. Update on Contaminated Sites, Jim Frechione, ADEC
Jim was unable to report this evening but will plan to attend the next KRSMA
meeting to update the board. Jonne handed out summary updates of the DEC
contaminated sites.
C. Kenai River Guide Limitations - where do we go.from here?
Chris said Director Gary Morrison is interested in having a multi agency
approach instead of purely a park issue. Chris said he is interested in working
with the agencies and Department of Law.
Robin said the frustration level is high. 9n this issue and wonders if they would
have agood understanding of the issue.
Jim: Said not to be pessimistic, but haven't the agencies been working
together on this? He said unless we get something done we'll still be talking
about this issue 5 years from now.
Kenai River Special Management Area Advisory Board
Minutes - November 20, 2003
Robin: Suggested writing a very pointed letter that the public and this board
have wanted this for years and ask specifically "what is it going to take?"
Dave: Local F&G Advisory committee will be taking up this issue - it will
be good to have the strength of multiple entities all working on the issue.
Tom: Department of Fish & Game has been having discussions with
Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission, DNR and Dept. of Law regarding
occupational licensing on a statewide basis and that maybe Alan Austerman
will introduce legislation.
Jeff: Said there needs to be legislative involvement that will stand up to a
constitutional challenge.
Paul: Questioned why F&G is not working with DNR on this?
Tom: The Administration is directing F&G to put draft legislation together to
go to fisheries policy advisor Alan Austerman.
Ted: We need commitment of resources from the Governor's office to
achieve the results.
Robin: Asked the Board how to respond to the director's interest. Chris said
Director Morrison knows it is an important issue and he is Willing to provide
whatever support may be needed.
Ted proposed the following motion: Send a letter to Director Gary Morrison
asking him to take the steps to coordinate with the agencies and to let him
know this board wants to work on this. Send copies to the Commissioners,
Department of Law and Governor. Dick: seconded.
Short discussion was held and the vote was called for. All board members
voted in favor.
IV. OLD BUSINESS
A. Kenai River Center Update, Suzanne Fisler
Suzanne reports they received an interesting letter regarding the Nationwide
Permit 23. The Corps of Engineers has said that the Kenal River Bridge is not
eligible for a Nationwide Permit for the wetland fill at the intersection of
KBeach Rd and the Sterling Highway. DOT has the choice of applying for an
'ihdividual permit or they can go back to Federal Highways and have them
certify it for a NW permit. The project will likely be delayed as a result.

Board President, Tune Harris, named
September 2003 RAZNN Honors Recipient
The Kenai/Soldotna WRCC received the
following announcement from RAINN
(Rape, Abuse, Incest National Ne~vork):
We are pleased to announce that
the recipient of the September 2003
RAINN Honors award is June Harris
from the Kenai/Soldotna Women's Re-
soume & Crisis Center in Kenai, Alaska.
Harris has been involved with the
agency since 1984. In 1985, Governor
Bill Sheffield awarded her the Gover-
nor's Volunteer of the Year Award in
recognition of her volunteer work. In
2000, Harris was presented with the K/
SWRCC Volunteer of the Year Award,
and in 2001, Susan Knowles, wife of
Gov. Tony Knowles, awarded her the
20th Annual First Lady's Volunteer
Award.
In 1987, Harris co-founded the Ke-
nai Peninsula Run for Women, a 5K and
10K run that benefits WRCC and pro-
motes awareness of sexual assault and
domestic violence. The Run for Women
recently held its 16th annual run and
attracts over 200 runners and 80 volun-
teers each year.
As the primary volunteer advocate
for the Sexual Assault Response Team,
Special Volunteer Thanks:
The parking area of WRCCs administrative offices was graded
in late September by Mr. ~Tim 5atathite. The time spent doing
this is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Harris is on call 8 hours a day, year-
round. When called, she provides sup-
port to victims of sexual assault as they
go through exams, and works with local
law enforcement and the Sexual Assault
Nurse Examiners.
In 2002, Harris logged 2,252 hours
of volunteer time. In addition to the ac-
tivities described above, Harris sits on
the SART Steering Committee, provides
court support to WRCC clients, serves
as the Volunteer court observer, facili-
tates staff and volunteer training, and
provides community outreach. A mem-
ber of the WRCC Board of Directors
since 1994, Harris has served as the
Board President since 1995.
Congratulations to Ms. Harris, and
thanks from all of us at the Kenai/
Soldotna Women's Resource & Crisis
Center.
09-26-03
: Board of Directors is pleased to
announce Cheri Smith as the new
Executive Director for WRCC.
Cheri is starting her l0th year at
WRCC. She started as a shelter ad-
vocate, advanced to Shelter Man-
ager, then Program Coordinator,
and Men's program Co-Facilitator.
Cheil has extensive knowledge and
experience working with victims of
domestic violence and sexual as-
sault.
A very organized and motivated
person, Cheri enjoys challenges.
She is calm, listens, evaluates cam-
fully and is a problem solver.
Cheri is a very professional person
who expects the same from her staff
and is respected among her peers.
She enjoys public speaking.
She is an avid reader and enjoys her
family and private life. She has an
outgoing nature with a sense of hu-
mor. She has close community ties,
having lived here many years.
Meet the Executive Director
Season's Greetings! I'd like to take the opportunity to wish every-~
one a very happy and safe holiday!
I feel very honored to be given the opportunity to serve as execu-
tive director of the WRCC and look forward to continuing the ex-
cellent work the agency's previous director, Heather Arnett, ac-
complished.
I've been with the agency 10 years and have been fortunate to
work many different venues within the organization during that
time. Prior to accepting the executive director position, I oversaw
and co-facilitated the WRCC's Batterers Intervention Program
and assisted in the overall direction of the various services the
agency provides. I've also enjoyed many opportunities to provide
education and awareness to other service organizations, area pro-
fessionals, and community members on domestic violence and
sexual assault issues.
Although there have been many changes over the years, one con-
stant has been the dedication and commitment of the WRCC staff.
Staff work hard to provide excellent services to those in need of
safety, support, and assistance. I appreciate each of their efforts!
Another constant has been the wonderful support the agency re-
ceives from our community. For those unfamiliar, the WRCC
LeeShom Shelter was built by community members whose dona-
tions of labor and materials helped ensure victims of domestic
violence and sexual assault had a safe place to go for help. This
act of giving continues today and sends a strong message to vic-
tims that our community cams.
I look forward to continuing the agency's strong commitment and
mission to end domestic violence in our community. By working
together, all of us can play a part in providing a safe, healthy, vio-
lence free community for our children, families and loved ones.
Wishing each of you peace and joy this holiday season~!
Sincerely,
Cheil Smith

Thc Honorable John Williams, Mayor
City of Kcnai
210 Fidalgo, Suite 200
Kenai, AK 99611-7794
RE: FY 05 POPULATION DETERMINATION
Dear Mayor Williams:
The Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) annually determines the population of each
municipality for use in various financial assistance programs. Population estimates are prepared by the State
Demographer at the Department of Labor and Workforce Development.
The 2003 population of the City of Kenai has been determined to be 7,125.
lfyou do not agree with this figure, the City may request a population adjustment by documenting its own
population. Cities with a population of less than 1,000 must conduct a "head count census.' Cities with 1,000 or
more residents may use a "head count census" or the "housing unit method," which includes specific statistical
measures.' The department requires that the population adjustment be fully documented, that the city council pass
a resolution adopting its results, and that it be completed and postmarked by April 1, 2004.
If you choose to request a population adjustment, please contact the department for a copy of the FY 05 Head
Count Census Instruction Manual or the FY 05 Housing Unit Method Population Estimate Instruction Manual.
These manuals provide additional information on the procedures and documentation required. Contact Laura
Walters, Research Analyst, (phone: 907-269-4521, e-mail: Laura_Walters~dced.state.ak.us) or me (phone: 907-
465-4733, e-mail: Bill_Rolfzen~dced.statc.ak.us) for additional information.
Sincerely,
Bill Rolfzen
