' .... : I appreciate the opportunity to brief the Kenai City Council on School District issues at the January 19, 2005, regular meeting. My comments will focus on the following three areas' General Operations The scope of School District operations in Kenai is vast. Eight school programs are housed within the city's boundaries (Sears, Mountain View, Kenai Middle, Kenai Central, Kenai Alternative, Aurora Borealis Charter, Kaleidoscope Charter, and the Kenai Youth Facility). Enrollment trends/projections and staffing information for Kenai will be presented. Kenai Administrator Changes The Board of Education has accepted the resignations of Mr. Mick Wykis at Sears Elementary School and Mr. Dennis Dunn at Kenai Central High School effective at the end of this school year. Information regarding the replacement process for these two popular, high profile school administrators will be provided. Future Planning for the future of Kenai is important to all entities. Dealing with continuous change is a part of all of our jobs. As governmental decision makers, providing and receiving accurate and timely information is critical. A briefing regarding expected next steps for the School District will be presented. We all know that continuous communication is a must as we transition through the many issues and changes that affect us all. It only makes sense that information from the School District might be useful/helpful to the Kenai City Council and vice versa. I look forward to seeing you on the January 19.

During the 2004-05 school year, principals will be trained to collect and analyze information and conduct a reflective conversation with the classroom teacher. Distance Education There are two components to the District's distance education program. Alaska OnLine provides internet-based instructional opportunities for students at rural and small schools and credit recovery opportunities for all students. The second component is video conferencing which provides real-time academic instruction at multiple sites throughout the District. EDLINE The District has implemented a standardized, common electronic gradebook which allows teachers to send current grade informa- tion to EDLINE.com, a web-based portal that allows access by students and parents through the internet. EDLINE.com can store homework assignments and current grading information, as well as class and school information; EDLINE.com has become extremely popular with parents and students alike. District Trivia · KPBSD serves 44 sites in 21 diverse communities. · KPBSD covers 25,600 square miles which is larger than the entire state of West Virginia. · Four of the district's schools are accessible only by water or air; one by hiking or ail-terrain vehicles. · The total school distdct budget is approximately $100 million. District administrative costs are among the lowest in the State at approximately 5%. The Borough funds the district the maximum allowed by state formula. · Last year, the district maintained 39 special revenue funds totaling almost $14 million. Over 47 certified, full- time equivalents (FTEs) were funded by federal and state grants. · KPBSD is the largest employer on the Kenai Peninsula, issuing near $4.5 million, monthly, in gross payroll. · 48% of the district's certified and support staff, combined, have been members of the KPBSD educational team for 10 years or more. · Approximately 86% of all graduates, districtwide, enroll in post-secondary education or training. · The district provides one computer for every five students and one computer for every teacher in the district. · The district's total student population is 11% Alaska Na- tive. · 2,834 students are transported 7,217 miles, 'daily, on school buses. ~ .... ~.~ - . . . Nlnilchik ,~ .. . NIIdmkl High . (~7~has been an amazing year/ When '-" /_reflecting on the highlights of the $,ear. I realized ~ that we have attained tnuch more 'tban the goals ~ ~ which the school board outlined for 2003-04. Specifically, our work with the legislature resulted in increased funding of a magnitude not seen in years. This represents, in my opinion, a rededication to education as a priority for ~ the public. Our standards are higher, our goals and '"~-': ~ expectations loftier., and we continue to provide a ~ ~ world-class education. Funding concerns for several years have forced us to look for new ways of doing business. The constant reexamination of our efforts and refocusing of p~orities have resulted in changes that increase academic success for all students. KPBSD has begun preparation for the No Child Left Behind Act; our proactive stance has received national attention. Donna Foxley, a representative from the US Department of Education, shadowed school district activities for three days this spring. Ms. Foxley visited schools, talked with local community members and reviewed school district policies and procedures. Following her school visits and public meetings, an editorial in the Peninsula Clarion included the following quote, ,... it's time to give all those involved in the operation of the school district a round of applause and an A+ for their efforts... The successes of peninsula students and the achievements of peninsula teachers and administrators are well documented... Good things are happening here." Throughout the year many students and. staff members have received recognition for their outstanding academic and leadership achievements. Our student athletes and coaches have once again been recognized as top regional and statewide contenders. One of the best ways to reflect on what has been acco~nplished this school year is to view the year from "the outside looking in." Ms. Foxley's comments relating to her visit and discoveries are featured in this report. As you peruse this report, I believe that you will find, just as I have, that the KPBSD continues to Educate the Peninsula in exciting, innovative, and effective ways. CLASSROOM WALK-THROUGH - Classroom Walk-Through (CWT) training will give' administrators the skills to analyze teaching and learning through frequent, but brief, informal classroom visits as well as the skills to encourage teachers to participate in reflective thinking. District administration will receive training in the CWT model during the 2004-05 school year. When principals make classroom observations for the purpose of providing feedback, it is important that they know what to look for as they examine the teaching and learning process ... Based upon achievement data, what should be taught? How should it be taught? Are students engaged and on task? How can identified challenges be communicated to the teacher in a way that encourages self-evaluation and growth as a professional? Principals will be trained to collect and analyze information and conduct a reflective conversation with the classroom teacher. INTERVENTION - In August 2004, a team composed of school psychologists will start training elementary schools in an intervention approach called the Response-to-Intervention Model (RTI). By December, five elementary schools will have received training in this approach. They will join two other elementary schools that have participated in a year-long piloting of the program. The RTI model uses existing district assessment data to identify students who are learning at a slower rate than their peers, assists teachers in identifying strategies to assist these students, and then provides a format for helping teachers determine if the approach is successful. The RTI model is a federally approved process for determining eligibility for special education for some disability areas. n~ ;C tn' Fl: S ,I O~ P c~ S~ S O I1 g · . . . · )1~ c£ ~E ('~---7"~Kenai -"- ~ Peninsula ~ Borough lies directly south of . Anchorage,Alaska's principal population center, and is home to the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District. The waters of the Gulf of Alaska and Prince William Sound border the Borough on the south " and east with the Alaska Mountain Range rimming the Borough to the west. The boundaries of the Borough and School District encompass a total of 25,600 square miles. In comparison, the geographical area of the Kenai Peninsula Borough equals that of Massachusetts and New Jersey combined and yet the borough population is less than 1/400th of that same area. Year-round recreational opportunities abound on the Kenai Peninsula; fishing, sightseeing, hiking, snow machining and cross-country ski trails are just a sampling of the outdoor recreation that is readily accessible for the outdoor enthusiast. The Peninsula has one of the state's most diverse economies; major industries include oil and gas, commercial fishing, and tourism. The oil and gas industry accounts for approximately one-third of the Borough's labor force. The mission of the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District, in partnership with the rf~hly diverse communities, is to d~,~elop creative, productive learners who demonstrate the skills, knowledge, and attitudes to meet life's challenges, by providing stimulating, integrated learning opportunities in a safe, supportive environment. .. :i;,'~':;?!:;~-"?~s)~i!~'~:~'''' "~ /~/'~'" '";i :i '.:' i' : "..: ;' · :i~~.. ~' ' :~'i~:: .~:~ ~ ~fi" i~;':~, ""II READING LANGUAGE MATHEMATICS 2003 2004 2003 2004 2003 2004 Alaska KPBSD Alaska KPBSD Alaska KPBSD Alaska KPBSD Alaska KPBSD Alaska KPBSD Grade 4 53 59 62 53 56 59 50 57 60 Grade 5 54 60 62 53 56 58 50 52 54 Grade 7 56 63 63 55 60 60 57 60 63 Grade 9 59 64 66 58 63 63 60 65 65 2003 KPBSD 2003 ALASKA 2004 KPBSD 2004 ALASKA 6 79 6 75 6 83 ! 6 N/A 8 68 8 74 8 81 8 N/A Grade 10 Reading Grade 10 Writing Grade 10 Mathematics i 2003! 2004i 2003 2004, : 2003: 2004 : ALASKA % i 70 i 70 : · ALASKA %: 83 ' 86 ! · ALASKA % i 70 : 67 : Proficient !

Having a choice of an educational delivery system is important to Alaskans. However, all children have a right to an education. A registration and educational accountability system for all school-age children will help protect their right to an education as well as help protect the health and safety needs of those least likely to care for themselves. * FUnd education on a j'orWard basis so that budgets are known prior to statutor31 requirements J'or notij~ling teachers oj~ non-retention. ~chool district issuance of teaching contraCts is governed by state statute. Without knowledge of state funding, districts are required to balance their resources. In times of reduction, as.a labor intensive workplace, this balancing occurs in school districts by having fewer people doingthe job. A process of non-retaining teachers occurs in mid-March with reinstatement occurring once the budget amount is known, usually in mid-May. Funding for education should be established early so that adequate planning can occur. * Full3t j~und the-contribution changes required to the Teachers Retirement .S/stem (TR$) and the Public Emplo~tees Retirement $~lstem ~PER$) in addition to the State educational J'unding ~ormulv~ An important factor in student academic achievement is highly qualified and committed employees. The state mandated employer contribution increase to TR~ and PERS is in excess'of $2 million for KPBSD, equating to an increase of $114 per student. Fully funding this increase in addition to the current educational funding formula ensures that the District is not forced to reall°cate instructional funds to pay for this obligation. * Recognize, through adjustments to the area cost diJ'~ferential within the educationa! j~unding j~ormula, the high cost oJ~ doing bus/ness in the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District. With fifteen schools of under 100 stUdents, 44 separate school programs, and five sites with severely limited access, a cost differential of 1.004 is not sufficient to provide equitable education for communities throughout the peninsula. KPBSD continues to be-efficient with low administrative costs, meeting 70/,30% instructional/other cost requirements, and receiving the maximum funding available through the local contribution. Since 1984, studies have shown that KPBSD has received less consideration than other districts for the high cost of doing business. It is estimated that a single year's adjustment of over $,2 million to the cost differential for KPBSD (equates to an increase of $114 per student) would result in a more equitable distribution of state resources for KPBSD students. ~ Increase the foundation formula to reduce large c/ass s/zes. - With high academic achievement standards, federal mandates, and increased accountability, increasing class sizes are of concern to parents and' educators. Due to bUdget constraints, 'KPBSD has been forced to' increase the numbers of students ~in classrooms. Current pupil teacher ratios are 24:1 in grades K-3; 29'1 in grades.4-6, 24.5:1 in 7-12, and 19' 1 in our K-12 small schools. In order to lower class sizes to the appropriate' and research based averages "of 18:1 in K-3, and 24:1 in 4-12, approximately sixty additional teachers would be needed in KPBSD. This would mean an increase of $3.9 million, or the need for $175 additional in the funding, formula. * Inflation-proof the educational ~unding fo'rmulm Costs continue to rise in education as in any business. In Alaska, the Permanent Fund is adjusted .for these increases but the educational funding formula is not. Therefore, regular expected increases to the cost of doing business each year require Districts to reduce budgets to account for inflationary costs. A regular mechanism for addressing increasing costs needs to be developed. An example of an annual estimated cost of living adjustment of 1.5% would be $1.2 milhon, adding an additional $69 per student to the funding formula.

In order to assure a quality educational experience for all Alaskan children, the Federal government is responsible for providing a sustainable, reliable, and adequate _funding. for meeting the new accountability requirements and expectations, for 'NCLB. These mandates include the need for additional personnel to monitor and complete documentation for NCLB requirements, provide annual assessments at all grade levels, and provide Comprehensive training for effective implementation of NCLB requirements. ~ FUlly fund the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). IDEA has been scheduled for reauthorization for the past year. Congress 0ri~/nally promised to fund up to 40% of the excess costs of educatin§ students with disabilities under IDEA. Currently congress has authorized expenditures to cover nationally about 20% of the excess costs. The Kenai Peninsula Borou§h School District believes that Congress should fund the full amount they ori§inally promised. To do otherwise requires local districts to reduce fundin§ for §eneral instructional needs to meet the needs of special student populations and results in another under-funded mandate passed down to state and local §overnments. Develop East End Road from Homer to top oj~ hill above Kachemak Selo. Four Russian Old-Believer Villages are connected to Homer, Alaska via East End Road (McNeil Canyon- 11 miles, Razdolna-23 miles; Voznesenka- 25 miles, and · Kachemak Selo - 28 miles). The current road is in majOr need of repair and current conditions preclude school bus transportation to all but McNeil Canyon. KPBSD requests federal transportation funding to improve conditions on East End Road so that school bus travel is an option. Repairs to the road .are also critical to the safety and well being of the District staff members and community members who travel this road on a daily basis.

December 29, 2004 SUBJECT' Radio Combiner Memorandum for Record Kenai Dispatch is a Primary e911 Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) that utilizes Motorola equipment to transmit and receive radio traffic to and from field units and remote base stations. Dispatch communicates over four main channels in the VHF specmma that include, Kenai Police, Kenai Fire, Public Works and AST Simplex. The newer Motorola Quantar~ radios are capable of transmitting over selectable frequencies and can broadcast and receive analog and digital signals (which is compliant with the Alaska Land Mobile Radio system). Currently, the Kenai communications system still uses outdated legacy radio combiner hardware to band-pass four transmitter/receivers signals through two antennas. The hardware is problematic for several reasons. le The legacy combiners are 'fixed' frequency, and are not compatible with the multiple- frequency selection capabilities of the newer Quantar~ system. e The band-pass capabilities of the legacy combiners are no longer filtering transmissions cleanly. This is causing the radios to bleed over on to other frequencies when transmitting; it reduces signal strength and clarity and will intermittently receive stray transmission signals from FM through UHF .frequencies. 1 The combiners are very old. Servicing them is a challenge as no replacemem parts are made for them any more. . , The old combiner is causing feed back problems that force us to use the 'back-up' police transmitter. The police and fire radios have 'back up' transmitters for use in case the primary Quantar~ radio/transmitters malfunction. The back-up trans~tters are part of the legacy hardware (over ten years old) that was retained as a fail-safe, and were not intended for primary use. The radio interference can be bad enough to interrupt officer/dispatch transmissions. Continued use of the legacy hardware (both transmitter and combiners) constitutes an officer safety risk (due to reduced signal strength, routine KENAI POLICE DEPARTMENT feed-back and interrupts). The filtering capabilities of the combiners continue to degrade and could completely fail at any time. Updating the current combiner hardware to a new digital combiner would solve the bleed over problems. Additionally, a new system would provide dispatch with the capability of switching channels (thus giving Kenai the ability to contact other service units on their native frequencies at a much higher transmissiOn quality). If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. /vlg SUBSTITUTE Suggested by: Adrn ............

SO ORDERED. ITEM B: SCHEDULED PUBLIC COMMENTS-- None. ITEM C: UNSCHEDULED PUBLIC COMMENTS B-lo Ted Smith, Tasco Refrigeration, Soldotna-- Suggested Ice Manufacturing Proposal. Mr. Smith stated his address to be P.O. Box 3669, Soldoma. Smith reviewed the information distributed at the beginning of the meeting and noted, the state and federal governments have available matching funds for an icing program on the Cook Inlet through the Cook Inlet Salmon Board (CISB). Bids need to be submitted by Friday, January 14. Smith suggested an ice facility be situated at the Kenai City Dock; it would be a completely portable manufacturing unit; would require the access road to be extended for ingress and egress of the facility; would manufacture 90 tons of ice a day; and, could include delivery of ice to totes or trucks for $650,000. This proposal could be enhanced by $250,000-$300,000 and make it a turnkey operation to deliver ice automatically into boats and delivery truck for delivering the ice. Smith noted, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has to approve the facility for the operation, however he did not think that would be needed at this time to forward the proposal to the CISB. He added, the CISB is looking for someone after that time to maintain, operate, and the location. A brief discussion took place which included the following comments: KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 5, 2005 PAGE 3 Administration did not believe the dock access road could be extended by this year and was not prepared to make a recommendation. · Administration is in the process of collecting information to forward to council in order for them to make a judgment. Smith was invited to talk with council to give a briefing of his proposal. · Smith indicated, the next council meeting would be too late. · Smith and City Manager Snow agree, it was late for BLM to make a decision in regard to this proposal. Smith also noted: · If the city is interested and wants to move forward with the proposal, he would need council's approval to present it to the CISB in his proposal. · When asked if he would need lease space on the dock, Smith explained he wanted the city to take over as a non-profit and run the icing facility. · It would cost approximately $25 a ton to produce the ice and cover the operating costs, with a profit of approximately $75/ton of ice. The CISB is wanting a site on which to place the ice facility, someone to operate and maintain it and who would keep the profits. The CISB would maintain ownership of the equipment. Gilman stated he did not believe the city should be in the ice business and Ross agreed as the city would be competing against private business. In addition, the time in which to review, research, etc., was too short. Moore stated he would like Smith to work with administration to bring additional information forward. He added, he would not want to be competing against private business however. Swarner stated she too was interested, but did not want to compete against private industry. She noted the potential of lease space on city property. It was also noted, the bid was open for anyone, including local processors. Moore stated, local processors have not been able to make enough ice and the request for proposals is an attempt to answer the problem. Porter thanked Smith for talking with the council and added, the city was reluctant to become involved at this time. ITEM D: REPORTS OF KPB ASSEMBLY~ LEGISLATORS AND COUNCILS Report of Assembly Member Glick moved to Item M-1. ITEM E: REPORTS OF KENAI CONVENTION/h VISITORS BUREAU , BOARD AND KENAI CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Tim Navarre -- President, Kenai Chamber of Commerce KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 5, 2005 PAGE 4 Navarre noted the following items: · The KEDS presentation was made at the Chamber luncheon January 5 and would be presented to the city's commissions and committees on January 12. A public forum is planned for February 5 and it is anticipated the plan would be finalized in March. The Chamber of Commerce annual awards are scheduled for Saturday, January 15, beginning at 6'30 p.m. at the Visitors Center. The evening would be celebrating not only this year's award winners, but the 50th year of the Chamber's existence. · Roy Wells will take over as president of the Chamber shortly. Council Member Swarner asked if the KEDS presentation will be updated with new statistics before it goes to the public. Navarre stated, the program now being presented is a draft and comments received will be input prior to the finalization of the plan. ITEM F: PUBLIC HEARINGS F-Xo Ordinance No. 2075-2004 -- Decreasing Estimated Revenues and Appropriations by $16,896 in Three Senior Citizen Funds. MOTION: Council Member Moore MOVED for adoption of Ordinance No. 2075-2004 and Council Member Ross SECONDED the motion. There were no public comments. Council Member MoOre requested an explanation of the ordinance.

KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 5, 2005 PAGE 5 MOTION: Council Member Massie MOVED for approval of Resolution No. 2005-1 and Council Member Ross SECONDED the motion. There were no public comments. Council Member Ross asked if these costs were anticipated when the budget was generated. Snow explained, the costs were anticipated, but by oversight, the amount was not included in the budget.

VOTE: Buffer Absent Porter Yes Moore Yes Swarner Yes Massie Yes Ross Yes Gilman No MOTION PASSED.

MOTION: Council Member Ross MOVED for approval of Resolution No. 2005-02 and Council Member Moore SECONDED the motion. There were no public comments. Ross explained the need for the resolution to point out the city and state (as well as other governments) had negotiated and entered into good-faith arrangements to allow eligible employees to retire from PERS, be rehired by PERS employers, and continue to receive normal retirement benefits. The arrangement was approved by the state. Ross stated, he believed the state was now attempting to change the rules and the resolution requests the Legislature to investigate the issue and grandfather in those employees with whom the state negotiated agreements and for who they approved the agreements. Moore referred to a subsequent ordinance the council passed and stated he did not want the current resolution to contradict the previously passed ordinance. VOTE: KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 5, 2005 PAGE 7 Introduced by consent agenda. I-5o Approval -- Kenai City Council Student Representative Policy. Council Member Massie reported he, Mayor Porter and City Attorney Graves used the current Kenai Peninsula School District policy for student representatives and made some revisions to meet the needs for the council's use. A brief discussion followed in which the following changes were suggested: · Item 5, change "long term interest in serving the public as an elected official" to "encourage the student to be someone with a long-term interest in public service." · Item 4, criteria for attendance should be the same as that of the council's meeting attendance / absences. · Item 4, allow the appointment of an alternate which would allow involvement of more students, but allow a student involved in extra-curricular activities to miss council meetings. · Require the student(s) to be residents of the City of Kenai. · Seating for the student representative could be at the table in the front of the room. Tim Navarre -- Noted he had been a student representative to the Kenai City Council when he was in high school. He supported the student representative appointment as well as allowing an alternate being appointed. It was requested the policy remm to council with the suggested changes made prior to it receiving final approval. Approval-- Commission/Committee Term Renewals. Council reviewed the information included in the packet listing those members whose terms were ending and who declared their interest in reappointment. It was noted Janet Brown stated she did not want to be reappointed. Council reviewed an application submitted by James Jenckes for appointment to the Library Commission. Council stated no objections to the reappointment of the names listed indicating their interest in reappointment or to the appointment of James Jenckes to the Library Commission. City Clerk Freas noted the 'lessee' vacancy on the Airport Commission and indicated the application submitted by Eric Mayer which was added to the packet at the beginning of the meeting. Council stated no objections to the appointment of Eric Mayer as a lessee on the Airport Commission. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 5, 2005 PAGE 8 Clerk Freas will write the necessary appointment letters, as well as a thank you letter to Commissioner Brown. I-7o I-7a.

I-8o Discussion-- Kenai Peninsula Borough Ordinance No. 2004-36, Amending KPB 5.18.430, Sales Tax Computation - Maximum Tax, by Increasing it from $500 to $1,000. Porter noted, administration was requesting direction as to the council's interest in either supporting or not supporting the Borough's ordinance to raise the sales tax cap. Council Member Ross stated he would not support the raising of the cap as he felt there are other options to consider. He stated he would like the Borough to make a full-scale review of their tax code, remove exemptions, and give more equity. He also suggested they investigate an all-borough bed tax instead of raising revenue or the mill rate. Ross added, he believed a borough-wide bed tax could work and the municipalities could work with the Borough as to how much of the tax collected would be returned to the cities. Massie stated he agreed with Ross. Council Member Gilman stated he had been, in the past, in favor of raising the sales tax, but now felt the timing was not good in relation to the impending closure of Agrium. He added, he would also like to explore a borough-wide bed tax and was not KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 5, 2005 PAGE 9 in support of the Borough's ordinance. Borough's ordinance either. Mayor Porter stated she was not in favor of the It was noted, the Assembly had set the final hearing on the ordinance for March 1. Council requested a resolhtion be prepared with the minutes from the last meeting council had discussed the issue. Consensus of council was for administration to prepare a resolution objecting to the raise in the sale tax cap. Bob Molloy -- Stated he supported the comments of council against the Borough's ordinance. He noted, he had spoken on the issue to council and the Assembly in the past and that council had received a copy of his cover letter, along with a copy of the Kenai Peninsula Bar Association's position paper on the issue. Molloy explained how legal services are impacted by raising the cap and he hoped the Bar Association would offer an alternative ordinance addressing inequities for residents with attorneys in the Borough and outside the Borough. Referring to a memorandum included in the packet from Finance Director Semmens, Molloy stated his agreement that estimating revenue to come to the city is difficult to calculate. I-9o Discussion -- Street Improvement List City Manager Snow reviewed the memorandum included in the packet from Public Works Manager Kornelis, explaining how the street improvement list was prioritized. Snow noted, the following: The list was compiled from an earlier list of road improvement needs from 1990; all but the McCollum & Aliak local improvement district (LID) requests listed indicated a 50/50 split of coSts because, at the time this LID was requested, council agreed to grant the 75/25 split of costs. Since that time, council passed a new resolution declaring improvement district splits would now be 50/50. · The list was based on the presumption it would be good to complete all the roads in a particular area through an LID. · There were many more roads to include on the list, however council requested the list match the $4 million included in the Capital Improvement List request resolution and the list was cut to fit that amount. The list has been compiled to match the $4 million, however anyone could come forward and submit the required petition with signatures, etc. and would be eligible for road improvements if funds are available. · Thompson Park was listed, however no one has submitted completed petitions. tQ~NAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 5, 2005 PAGE 10 · the list. Remainder of the areas in that neighborhood were then added next on The list also included the drainage and parking lot improvements. Snow noted, the list could be changed and no area would be precluded. She added, the information included in the packet also offered different options how road improvements could be paid and would like the council to consider initiating a revolving fund which would require an appropriation by council to start it. Swarner asked why Inlet Woods was requiring funds to repair drainage problems in the subdivision. Komelis explained the original infiltration systems placed in the subdivision had been clogging and the water table is very high, making it difficult for the water to drain. He added, the amount is an estimate. Kornelis also noted, the estimated costs for road improvements included bring them to grade and the residents pay 50% of the total cost of the project. Council Member Ross suggested the revolving fund proposal be submitted to council during the budget preparations. Discussion followed regarding the change from the 75/25 split to the 50/50 split. It was noted, the McCollum/Aliak residents submitted petitions but the project was stopped due to lack of available funding. City Attorney Graves stated he believed those LID petitions submitted, which were not funded, would have to submit new petitions due to the amount of elapsed time since the initial petitions were submitted. He added, he would want to review the minutes of the meeting when the commitment was made to the 75% as it may have been discussed at that time. Ross stated he would also like to see the minutes. He added, he felt it would be a totally new project and if funds become available, council would be asking neighborhoods to do LIDs on a differential basis when it would look like they were new projects. Porter suggested any of the LIDs who had submitted petitions and were not funded would have to resubmit new petitions. Ross noted, there was plenty of time in which to bring the information back because it would not be until the end of the legislative session before it would be known if funding would become available. Porter asked if council wanted to direct administration to contact those who had submitted petitions to resubmit petitions. Council indicated no because they would not want to give false hope because it would not be known until later if funds come available. Council requested the minutes of the meeting discussing the 75/25 match be provided in their next packet. Additionally, if new information or requests are received in the future relating to LIDs, to forward that information to council as well. BREAK TAKEN: 8:14 P.M.

Porter added, it is the intent of McConnell to come before council regarding the Redoubt property for an assisted living facility use as well as an independent living facility. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 5, 2005 PAGE 12 It was also noted, the property is adjacent to Mommsen Subdivision and is served with water and sewer.

ITEM L: ADMINISTRATION REPORTS L-1. City Manager-- City Manager Snow reported the following' · She reviewed'the monetary responsibilities for the city if it pursues the ice plant proposal discussed by Mr. Smith at the beginning of the meeting. She noted, the proposal discussed a $250,000 to $300,000 cost and the city would have to fund the amounts lacking and the cost of developing the access road. She also noted, the staff had not met or reviewed the proposal. Snow requested direction from council, i.e. whether she and administration should move forward with their research of the proposal. She noted, she thought it would be difficult to complete the research, etc. and make the February 1 deadline. Gilman suggested the Cook Inlet Salmon Board be contacted to verify the grant funds are available. · Moore noted the funds were available and a request for proposals was being advertised. He added, he did not want to discourage economic growth, but he did not want to invest $350,000. · Ross stated he would want to be sure the city would not be in competition with private enterprise/local processors who may be interested in pursuing the grant to expand their operations. · Snow noted, the CISB would be retaining the ownership of the equipment; Smith is working on two different proposals, i.e. one with the city involved and the other with another entity within the city, however Smith believes the city dock is the best site. · Moore stated he felt the business would fit the dock. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 5, 2005 PAGE 13 Snow clarified from the council's comments: She should work with Smith through the processes; call CISB; and, meet with staff. She stated her concern she did not think there would be time to meet the deadline. · Ross stated he thought Moore's suggestion the city dock was a good site for a plant was viable. However, he did not want Smith to think the city wants to be an ice facility operator. However, he would not have concerns if there are others with whom Smith could put together a proposal using the dock facility as a location and the city could parmer with BLM. However, he does not want anyone to think the city would be participating financially or operating an ice facility. L-2. Attorney -- City Attorney Graves reported the class action lawsuit against CIGNA which the city had joined in several months ago. He noted, the lawsuit had been settled and the city's payout would be approximately $6,000. The city could submit an administrative appeal, however he did not advise doing so. He suggested allowing the award to go forward. Graves added, it would be several months before the award check would be received. Council made no objections. L-3o City Clerk -- City Clerk Freas reported mailboxes had been placed in her office for council. ITEM M: DISCUSSION M-1. Citizens Assembly Member Betty Glick -- Glick reviewed actions/discussions which took place at the January 4 Assembly meeting, including: · Received a presentation of the Borough's projected financial status during the Finance Committee meeting. · The Assembly will consider the sales tax cap amendment ordinance at their March 1 meeting. She has submitted a proposal for an eight percent borough-wide bed tax which should be brought forward for introduction by March 1. · The Assembly will also consider charging grant administration fees. · Received a letter of resignation from Borough Clerk Linda Murphy. · Considerations will also be made to reviving the noxious injurious hazardous ordinance. · The ordinance to accept and appropriate U.S. Department of Justice grant funds for the construction of a multiuse facility for E-911 dispatch, Central Emergency Services (CES) administration, and a Borough Emergency Operations Center {EOC) on Borough-owned property in Soldoma was postponed until their January 18 meeting. Glick stated the postponement was made because the Assembly would like the City of Kenai to make a presentation regarding the PRISM facility and to clarify any misconceptions there may be as to what the building has to offer, etc. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 5, 2005 PAGE 14 Glick also stated she was concerned about the cost of the Borough facility, when including the purchase of the lots to be used as the site. Porter asked council if they would like to direct administration to make a presentation to the Assembly or not. Ross stated, if the presentation is on the agenda, offers factual information and not made in a sales role, he felt it would be appropriate. However, because of the space needs at issue other than emergency communications, the presentation should only make aware of what is available and what can be done at the city facility. Consensus of council was to make a presentation at the Assembly meeting to correct misconceptions, inform the public of the facility and the specific uses for which it was built, not do it in a sales role, and that administration should decide who will make the presentation. M-2. Council Moore -- · Stated his concern the city is leasing property with an official name of "Port of Kenai" as an LLC. City Attorney Graves stated he did not think it a particular problem as it did not bind the city. · Suggested the student representative policy should consider longevity of the students involved, i.e. juniors or seniors. · Has received complaints of snow machine users running through neighborhoods. · Asked if, with the warmer weather, the insulation on the beams at the multipurpose facility would be accomplished. Public Works Manager La Shot stated the work was scheduled for the beginning of the week. Swarner -- · Referred to Information Item No. 8 relating to Cook Inlet Sale 199, and suggested the city comment again, indicating its support of gas exploration in the Cook Inlet. · Suggested a link be placed on the web page regarding economic development and the Kenai Economic Development Strategy document.

Snow, City Manager Keith Kornelis, Public Works Manager~ January 13, 2005 SUBJECT' KMC Title 17 Public Water and Sewer Utilities Public Utility Regulations and Rates Ordinance No. 2078-2005 replaces KMC Title 17 and the Public Utility Regulation and Rates in its entirety. I have made changes suggested by Department Heads, City Attorney, and many other City employees. There have been many drafts reviewed by everyone. The purpose of these changes is' · Update and clarify the rules and regulations. · Organize the rules and regulations. · Make the rules and regulations easier to read and understand. · Make the rules and regulations fair to all users. · Make the items that are common to water and sewer consistent. · Delete the rules and regulations that are outdated and never used before. · Increase operational service costs. There are many changes to the existing KMC Title 17 and Utility Regulations. Below is a list of some of the major changes. 1. The property owner is responsible for the water and sewer service lines from the structure to the main line. Prior ordinance had the City responsible for the "connection" (main line to property line) even if the line was plugged by the owner. 2. The water and sewer permit is valid for six (6) months and the cost was increased from $100 to $200. . Property owners are required to contact the City to apply for water and sewer services, change in service, discontinuance of service or whenever they alter their building. Linda L. Snow, City Manager Page 2 January 13, 2005 4. Owners of new commercial buildings are required to furnish and install water meters with a remote reading. 5. The fee for turning the water service off or on (except for the first time) was increased from $10 to $50 during normal duty hours and from $20 to $100 for overtime hours. This includes water turn off and on for non-payment of services. , Property owners would now be allowed to suspend water and sewer services but will have to pay for the water turn off and on. , Service customers will have to maintain their grease, oil, and sand interceptors to remove grease or oil-laden wastes. o The customer deposit was raised from $20 to $50 for each service (refunded after two years). 9. Using a fire hydrant requires a deposit of $200 (increased from $150) and the cost of water was increased from $30/day to $40/day (or at metered rate). I consider the Water, Sewer, and Sewer Treatment Departments as a co-op of users. Since I pay a water and sewer bill to the City, I am a member. Title 17 and the Utility Regulations should be written to be fair and equitable to the group of users who pay for these utilities. I think these changes do that. I received a lot of great suggestions and help in making these changes to KMC Title 17 and Utility Regulations. Thank you to the many people who helped.

Frates, Parks & Recreation January 14, 2005 Town Clock Directo~ We have received information from three clock companies including Electric Time, The Fancy Street Co., and Americlock, Inc. As one might assume, there are many styles and options available and a wide range of costs. Clock prices range from $5,000 to $30,000, excluding shipping. Installation costs are estimated at $5,500 bringing the total project cost to anywhere from $12,500 to $40,000. I would be happy to pursue this further and forward recommendations for Council consideration. However, it would be helpful if Council could give us a dollar limit. Since special consideration should be given to pole color, height (vandalism and snow depth), dial size and custom lettering, reset capability, and costs, I would recommend this be forwarded to the Parks and Recreation Commission for review.

ITEM 4: CONSIDERATION OF PLATS PZ05-01 - Preliminary Plat- Kenai Landing- Cottages Subdivision. Plat submitted by Integrity Surveys, 8195 Kenai Spur Highway, Kenai. Alaska PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MEETING JANUARY 12, 2005 PAGE 2 City Planner Kebschull noted the plat subdivided a large parcel to create an approximate 6.7 Acre parcel. She added, the resulting parcel would meet lot size requirements for the zone, however, if approved, staff recommended an access easement for Lot 1 be filed with the City of Kenai prior to recording the final plat. Kebschull noted the applicant is aware of the requirement. MOTION: Commissioner Bryson MOVED to adopt PZ05-01 with the incorporation of staff recommendations and Commissioner Eldridge SECONDED the motion. Commissioner Bryson stated, when the issue came before the Commission. previously he abstained due to a possible conflict and noted that conflict no longer existed. Commissioner Amen questioned the long-standing encroachments and asked that the applicant investigate eliminating them. Kebschull noted the situation dated back several years and the section line had always been there with some of the cannery structures were built across the section line. She added, the language is standard in the City's resolutions, however, the Borough did not enforce encroachments. Kebschull stated, the applicant indicated that would be one of their next steps as they go through the process. Kebschull also added, removing a section line is a very lengthy process with the State and requires alternate access and technically the structures would be grandfathered in as nonconforming structures. VOTE: Barrett Yes Glick Yes Twa_it Yes Hammelman Yes Alnen Yes Bryson Eldridge Yes Yes MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. ITEM 5' PUBLIC HEARINGS PZ05-02 - An application for a five-foot side yard variance for the property described at Lot 8, Anglers Acres Subdivision Part 3 (1125 Angler Drive}, Kenai, Alaska. Application submitted by Jackie Johnson~ 1125 Angler Drive, Kenai, Alaska. Kebschull explained the application was for a five-foot side yard setback and indicated the applicant was in attendance to answer any questions. Kebschull drew attention to the letter in the packet from an adjoining neighbor who discussed the driveway going all the way to the river. Kebschu11 noted that was not accurate and added staff was recommending the applicant provide verification the septic system will support the additional structure. PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MEETING JANUARY 12, 2005 PAGE 3 Chairman Hammelman opened the public hearing. Jackie Johnson, 1125 Angler Drive, Kenai, Alaska -- Ms. Johnson explained the project and noted the addition would be 28-foot wide by 40-foot long and would be attached to the duplex. Johnson was surprised by the letter of opposition from her neighbor as the addition would not interfere with whatever he is trying to do. Johnson added she would never put in a structure that would become a safety issue. Johnson also stated she wants to do this project correctly and is relying on the input from the City's Buflcling Official. Johnson also explained her landscaping plans would be submitted for review prior to building. Bryson asked if the building would be attached to the existing structure and Johnson replied it would. MOTION: Commissioner Amen MOVED to recommend approval of PZ05-02 and Commissioner Barrett SECONDED the motion. The public hearing was closed. Amen asked if the cabins were rentals and Kebschull confirmed they were, are operated under a conditional use, and the new addition would require an amendment to the existing permit if it were to be used as a rental. VOTE: Barrett Yes Glick No Brvson Yes Twait Yes Hammelman Yes Yes alilen No Eldridge MOTION PASSED. Kebschull advised there is a 15-day appeal period and the appeal should be provided in writing to the City Clerk. a-bo PZ05-03 - An application to amend Conditional Use Permit PZ03-43 to add a "Common Interest Ownership Community" (condominium project} for the property known as a portion of Government Lost 11 /h 12 in Section 17 (2101 Bowpicker Lane), Kenai, Alaska. Application submitted by Steven Agni, President, Kenai Landing, Inc., 5011 Spenard Road, Suite 201, Anchorage, Alaska. Kebschull explained, PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MEETING JANUARY 12, 2005 PAGE 4 The property is known as Kenai Landing and the plat reviewed and approved earlier is to accommodate this condominium project · Because it is zoned industrial, a conditional use permit is required. · The applicant provided a concise and detailed application, however, because it is still in the planning stages, the actual sketch would be modified depending on the market which would dictate whether or not they are single dwellings, duplexes or triplexes. · The applicant is proposing approximately 8.5 dwellings per acre. · The parcel would be eligible for rezone by size but because it is unknown what the adjoining property to the south of it may do, it is the attorney's recommendation the conditional use process be used. If the property to the south becomes residential, then it is recommended that rezone of the area be considered. Kebschull drew attention to staff's recommendations requesting at least a 15-foot setback to allow for future development and protection for other properties. MOTION: Commissioner Glick MOVED to approve PZ05-03 to include the staff recommendations. Commissioner Amen SECONDED the motion. Chairman Hammelman opened the public hearing. Steve Agnt, Kenai Landing, Inc., 2101 Bowpicker Lane, Kenai, Alaska. Mr. Agni explained the proposed project and emphasized their goal of extending the user season to achieve a more year-around utilization of Kenai Landing. Agni acknowledged staff's recommendations and noted they will concentrate on utilizing the existing infrastructure to provide access to the property. Amen asked for clarification on the combined side setbacks and Agni explained the space between two buildings will be no less than ten feet. Agni noted the setbacks referred to by staff were for the adjoining property outside the buildings that are proposed in the common interest condominium community. Commissioner Glick asked if the water system proposed would service all the building. Agni confirmed that it would and noted there are tremendous wells already there that would be upgraded and extend with arctic grade services so the water could be used year-around. Glick asked if the sewer system onsite would serve each individual condo. Agni replied, each building would have its own sewer service to a septic tank and then it would go to a community drain field. Agni noted this would still have to be approved by the DEC but pointed out the proposed community drain field on the sketch in the packet. PUblic hearing closed. PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MEETING JANUARY 12, 2005 PAGE 5 Chair Hammelman asked if 58 dwellings in the area was a concern for staff. Kebschull replied, if the area was zoned RR then it would be high for density but if their system meets DEC approval, there would be no concern. Kebschull noted the city does not regulate onsite systems. Hammelman asked if traffic was a concern and Kebschull stated there had been no feedback on traffic. Bryson added, Cannery Road is outside the City. VOTE: Barrett Yes Glick No Twa_it Yes Hammelman Yes Amen. No Bryson Eldrid~e Yes Yes MOTION PASSED. Kebschull advised the audience of the 15-day appeal process and noted any appeals should be provided in written form to the City Clerk. ITEM 6' OLD BUSINESS -- None. ITEM 7: NEW BUSINESS Discussion -- Home occupation Permits - Daycares / Relative Exemption Kebschull reported there are 13 out of 20 home occupations for daycares that are operated by relatives. This occurs because the State requires licensing for anyone who receives a stipend for caring for children. Kebschull asked if the Commission wished to consider an exemption for the relative daycares so they wouldn't have to go through the process with the City, which basically is a paperwork issue. Kebschull added, these relative daycares are exempt from paying sales tax with the Borough but they are required to report. Commissioner Barrett asked if this would affect fire safety inspections, etc. and Kebschull replied, the State has very strict guidelines which are more stringent than the city's. Amen asked if there is an additional public notice process if it didn't have to go through the Commission. Kebschull replied, there was not and the only notice now is included in the consent agenda in the notice in the paper. Amen questioned why an exemption would be necessary when the current system works and who would determine a relative and the safety of the children being watched. Kebschull answered, the City does not define a relative and by the time the applicant comes to the City, the State has already issued them their license as a relative provider. PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MEETING JANUARY 12, 2005 PAGE 6 Kebschull added, the relative care providers currently go through a three licensing process. After further discussion, it was determined an exemption is feasible. Kebschull will ask the City Attorney to draft a document and she will bring it back to the Commission. ITEM 8- PENDING ITEMS -- None. ITEM 9' CODE ENFORCEMENT -- None. ITEM 10- REPORTS 10-a. City Council- Council Member Moore reported on actions taken at the January 5, 2005 Council meeting. 10-b.

Minutes transcribed and prepared by: Barbara L. Roper, Contract Secretary PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MEETING JANUARY 12, 2005 PAGE 8 MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: THRU: City Council .~, Larry Semmens, Finance Director ~__~ Linda Snow, City Manager DATE: January 3, 2005 SUBJECT: Investment Report At December 31, 2004 the City had investments with a market value of $33,804,696. The breakdown of types of investments held is: US Agency Securities AML Investment Pool Bank Balance $30,784,294 $ 1,592,466 $ 1,427,936 The Federal Reserve increased rates five times in 2004 in .25% increments from 1% to the current rate of 2.25%. Short term rates are still at historically Iow levels. The current return on our portfolio is 2.67%, but should increase as Iow yielding securities mature or are replaced with higher yielding investments. My base strategy of investing 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. Some of the securities in the portfolio are callable, which means the issuer can redeem the security for the par amount at their option. A call generally only occurs 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 meet cash flow or 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.

Frates, Parks & Recreation Director~ January 12, 2005 Monthly Report- Dec. 05 A total of 143.75 hours of ice was booked at the rink throughout December 2004. This was a decrease of 16 hours from November 2004, primarily as a result of the holiday break. However, there was an increase of 24 hours over December 2003. The moderate climate throughout much of December caused a delay with respect to ski trails at the golf course. Sufficient snowfall didn't occur until mid-December at which time grooming began. Due to the continued lack of snow depth, we have not been able to set classical tracks. The Kenai Central High School will be holding their Kenai Classic ski meet on our wail system on Saturday, January 15t~ followed with a Middle School race on Saturday, January 22~a.

Terminal Access Project: We love the heated sidewalks-especially with the freezing rain we have experienced this winter. The Contractor is progressing on the finish work for the entryways, handrails are installed and new doors are scheduled to be installed this week. FedEx: We continue to work with several private developers to find a suitable on- airport location for FedEx. Agrium: In response to the recent news of a possible closure of the Agrium Facility the staff is developing contingency plans for storing Prilled Urea runway deicer. This chemical is our primary resource to keep the runway open and ice-free. All of the commercial service airports in the State of Alaska utilize this chemical for runway de- icing. We feel confident a source will be available although shipping from Canada will increase the cost. Our primary focus is on storage. The airport currently picks up urea directly from the plant on an as-needed basis. If the Agrium plant ceases operation, the airport will purchase in bulk and store the urea. There are several cost effective ways to accomplish this and a full report will be provided to the City Manager this summer.

These include the Chamber of Commerce, City commissions, community pastors, and the Senior Center. Hopefully the group is making the City of Kenai aware of the plan and receiving the buy-in necessary to implement the KEDS process. Some members of the KEDS group will also appear on Sound-Off on 1/18, which should be fun. Perhaps not, I'm still new. After the presentations conclude this month, the public forum will take place on Feb 5th at the KCVB. We hope people from the community will be interested in the plan and offer some valuable feedback from this forum. From there, a Steering Committee will be established and the KEDS draft will be rewritten and finalized.

The new website should be up and running shortly, and it will include valuable information about the community and help to showcase what the City of Kenai has to offer.

The purpose of the workshop is to learn about current research and monitoring in Cook Inlet waters and to help brainstorm ideas for valuable products and services to aid mariners, scientists, industry, resource managers, educators, and other users of marine resources. The workshop should allow researchers to better coordinate and integrate physical oceanography monitoring, research, and modeling efforts in the Cook Inlet region; gather .ideas for products, tools, and services that can be developed from this research and monitoring; and begin developing the Cook Inlet portion of an AOOS. continued on page 4 Maritime President Touts Vessel Vetting Captain Tim Plummer, President of Tesoro Maritime Co., presented his company's vetting process used to evaluate vessels before Tesoro contracts with them for shipping services. In his position, Capt. Plummer is involved with all downstream maritime operations associated with the refineries in Alaska, Hawaii, Washington, and San Francisco, CA and his primary responsibilities include tanker and barge operations, vetting, oil spill contingency planning, and emergency response. All of these operational areas carry risk of financial eXposure. Additionally, shareholders and community relations depend in part on Tesoro's reputation, according to Capt. Plummet. 'In 2004, the company suc- cessfully man- aged 777 tanker transfers wi th one teaspoon spilled. // He described Tesoro approval process for tankers before they are chartered for any purpose. The ship must meet all applicable roles, regulations, and acceptable industry practices such as safety, pollution prevention and operational procedures. During the vetting process, both owners and operators must be determined to be reputable and criteria for the ship's safe amval, moorage, and departure at the facility are met. The three components of the vetting process are: technical approval, load and discharge port approval, and management approval. Tesoro provides a questionaire seeking extensive information about the vessel to the owner. Capt. Plummer and his colleagues review any prior experience with the ship and a SIRE or ship inspection report is obtained. SIRE uses a standard format and certified inspectors. The report is entered into a database accessible on the web. The inspections may be triggered by an owner or operator change, by a problem with continued on page 4 GEM Progam Needs CTRCAC, Others Dr. Phil Mundy, until recently the Science Director for the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustee Council (EVOSTC), showcased the Gulf Ecosystem Monitoring (GEM) Program in a presentation to CIRCAC recently. The GEM program was designed to place changes in oil spill- injured resources in the context of ecosystem changes caused by other human effects and natural forcing. This will be accomplished in part through long- term monitoring of four main habitats in the Gulf of Alaska; watersheds, nearshore, the Alaska Coastal Current, and offshore. The EVOSTC believes there are many opportunities for collaborating with CIRCAC, according to Dr. Mundy who also recognized CIRCAC's Shorezone Mapping project. Dr. Mundy explained that the lion's share of costs for projects are often for vessels, so efforts are made to piggy-back and use vessels of opportunity such as the Tustamena. For one project, researchers mounted instruments on the Alaska ferry to measure temperature, salinity, nitrate and chlorophyll. Also, a cargo vessel out of Anchorage pulls a box through Cook Inlet to provide a continuous plankton report - concentrations of plankton can signal concentrations of feeding fish- and scientists can also use the data to substantiate warmil~ trends. Two other ships of opportunity ar~. collecting temperature and salinity data, which identifies freshwater influences and, with the collection of fluorescence data, can verify satellite- collected data. Currently, GEM-funded projects are identified through through fiscal year 2007. Among them is a biodiversity census that will be used to assess the status of the intertidal resources damaged during the spill and to make comparisons to programs throughout the North Pacific. There are sites in lower Cook Inlet, Kodiak and Prince William Sound. Overall, there are eight projects underway in the CIRCAC-area that use Trustee Council funding, one of which is the CIRCAC- led project to complete ShoreZone aerial and on- the-ground surveys in Kodiak this summer. Dr. Mundy declared that no organization could undertake long term monitoring on this scale aloe so GEM operates under three premises. parmering, broad use of information, and public participation. Staying aware of what other organizations are doing illuminates oppommities to work together and make use of all of the resources available. In collaborating with others, the Trustee Council recognizes the need to focus data collections on long-term variables such as temperature and salinity that a variety of user groups may use. Last, the public process defines needs that keep the program on track. GEM needs the Cook Inlet RCAC and other partners to succeed, he said. I Col la borations Benefit Research }During\ a recent presentation to CIRCAC's Board of Directors, CIRCAC's Director of Science and Research Susan Saupe described efforts to work with other organizations to coordinate studies and leverage funds. These collaborators include the Environmental Monitoring Assessment Program, Alaska Oceans Observing System, the Gulf Ecosystem Monitoring program, the National Park Service's Southwest Alaska Network, the Kachemak Bay Research Reserve (KBRR), and the Prince William Sound RCAC. In doing so, EMC is fulfilling the following OPA 90 mandates: 1) to monitor the environmental impacts of operations in Cook Inlet; 2) to study wind and water currents and other environmental factors in the vicinity of terminals facilities which will affect the ability to respond to, contain and clean up an oil spill (including factors such as shoreline habitat, oil fates and effects and sediment load); and 3) to identify highly sensitive areas ) which might require specific protection in an oil spill. EMC will also be working with the University of Alaska to develop the CODAR system, with KBRR and NOAA to deploy Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers, and is using Kenai Peninsula Borough and University of Alaska's Coastal Marine Institute funding for hydrographic surveys conducted by Drs. Steve Okkonen and Scott Pegau. Also, CIRCAC is supporting satellite drifter work by Mark Johnson of UAF. All of these pieces of observational data will help improve modeling efforts. As described above, CIRCAC, AOOS and KBRR are co-sponsoring the Physical Oceanography Workshop where they will present a user needs analysis. CIRCAC's Physical Oceanography, Nearshore Habitat, and Source and Background Contaminants programs overlap with goals of the GEM program. Numerous funding sources have contributed to the vast Shorezone Mapping project completed to date and the database can be used in a variety of ways. This past summer, CIRCAC participated on a Prince William Sound RCAC- funded ShoreZone survey in western Prince William Sound. The Environmental Monitoring and Assessment P r o g r a rn (EMAP),which uses the sediment quality triad approach, dovetails well with Watershed Source Metals and Background Hydrocarbon Studies that have been sponsored by CIRCAC. The National Park Service Southwest Area Network is established to do monitoring and inventory work, and CIRCAC is working with them both through the ShoreZone and the Arctic Relict projects. A Ballast Water and Non-Indigenous Species project is being developed in cooperation with U.S. Fish and Wildlife. Ms. Saupe concluded that it has been these collaborations that have created opportunities for CIRCAC's science program to grow and improve our abilities to fulfill our OPA 90 mandates. 1 Marine Firefighting and Salvage Update Building upon the success of the Cook Inlet Marine Firefighting and Salvage project, CIRCAC tamed to Kodiak for phase two of this project. CIRCAC completed the Cook Inlet plan in late summer 2004 and delivered it to USCG Capt. Ron Moms. The plan will be sent for consideration for the Sub-Area plan once it receives official approval. Dave Ely with Cape Decision International will continue as the lead contractor for the project. I RC¸A Physical Oceanography Workshop AOOS is the Alaska component of a growing national network of integrated ocean observing systems that will improve our ability to rapidly detect changes in marine ecosystems and living resources, and predict future changes and their consequences for the public good. Researchers, data collectors/monitors, modelers, and all users of Cook Inlet should find interest in the workshop. Organizers have noted that the information is especially appropriate - continued for oil, gas and mining industry representatives marine navigators, fishermen, communit planners, and those involved with recreation, tourism, and search and rescue operations. Sessions planned include observational and research data collection; numerical modeling; identifying products and tools for users; setting priorities for data collections and others. Those interested in the workshop or its topics can assist organizers by completing the survey on-line at http://www, surveymonkey, com/ s.asp?u=56235779751. For information about the workshop call Susan Saupe at CIRCAC's offices or, to register, contact Misty Ott at mistyott~nprb.org or 907-644-6700 by February 1, 2005.1 Vessel Vetting Program - continued the vessel, or because it has not been inspected recently. Tesoro also reviews the tanker's history with the U.S. Coast Guard and searches an international database for more detail. The database of port state inspections lists deficiencies or detentions. It focuses on safety related information with the goal of reducing sub-standard shipping. The U.S. Coast Guard and other international groups maintain the data. A further reference is the Port State Information Exchange which contains key documents and a summary of all Coast Guard contacts with over 400,000 vessels. Capt. Tim Plummer companies. Using these tools, Tesoro can identify problem ships before contracting with them. If after these reviews Tesoro needs more information, they request it and they may choose to inspect the vessel. Following these reviews Tesoro may reject a vessel or may request more information. The company keeps a list of vessels that are unacceptable for their consideration. Although there is commercial pressure to "do deals," Capt. P lummer maintains he is not pressured to use vessel he is not comfortable with. Once a vessel is accepted into the system, it is still screened when it amves'at the facility to verify its condition based on the vetting process. The screening is documented for future reference. Even communication issues are considered. The time-chartered ships are inspected and audited annually. Tesoro also closely tracks the vetting/inspection stares results of other west coast All of Tesoro's chartered vessels are double- hulled, the vetting group team all have Master's licenses and extensive experience, and according to Capt. Plummer, that results in fewer indicidents. In 2004, the company successfull,~ managed 777 tanker transfers (134 inAlaska) wit. one teaspoon spilled. In 2003, they had one minor sheen and in 2002 there were no spills at all.1 Kenai Peninsula Borough January 18, 2005 - 7:00 p.m. Assemb Regular Meeting Borough Assembly Chambers, Soldoma, Alaska 7ary Superman .ssembly President 'eat 3 - Nikiski ¢rm Expires 2007 .on Long i ssembly Vice President 'eat 6 - East Peninsula 'erin Expires 2006 ¢an Chay ssembly Member ,_at 1 - Kalifornsky 'c rm Expires 2 006 ~ aul Fischer ssembly Member 'eat 7- Central ~erm Expires 2 O07 ~et~V ~lick : s ~Member 'erin Expires 2005 £illi Martin issembly Member 'eat 9- South Peninsula 'erin Expires 2006 7race Merkes !ssembly Member :eat 5- Sterling/Funny ~iYer 'erin Expires 2005 ?hris Moss !ssembly Member ;eat 8- Homer ~erm Expires 2005 'ete Sprague tssembly Member ;eat 4- Soldotna 'erm Expires 2007 Ae Be Ce D~ Ee F® Ge H® Ie CALL TO ORDER PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE INVOCATION ROLL CALL COMMITTEI~.
