July 13, 2005 Ord. 2107-2005 Senior Center Kitchen Project The construction bid on the senior center kitchen project came in substantially higher than expected at $361,000. The total project cost is $416,285. The estimate was $281,704. Funding sources for the project are: Rasmuson Grant $140,892 State Grant $ 40,000 Senior Connection $ 10,000 Mental Health Trust $ 25,000 Total $215,892 We need an additional $200,393 to complete the project. Originally we expected to fund the project from the above grants along with $65,812 from the Senior Citizen Fund fund balance. The Senior Citizen Fund is expected to have about $173,000 in fund balance at June 30, 2005, so there is not enough money in the fund to do the project. We have at least two options' 1. Delay the project and re-bid it later. This would require requesting extensions from the Rasmuson Foundation and the Mental Health Trust because their grants expire by the end of the calendar year. This would be a good option if we think the project will cost less later, and if the extensions are granted. Construction costs are very high fight now, but we do not know when, or if, they will moderate. If the costs are not going to change and assuming we need the project, this may not be the best option. 2. Fund the project from other sources so that it can be done on schedule. The Senior Citizen Fund could comfortably fund $100,393 of the project leaving $100,000 to be funded from other sources. The City has been notified that we have a grant from the State for $290,000 for any public improvement. This project is eligible for funding from this gra~t. Recommendation: Our recommendation is to review the project with the contractor to determine if there are any items that can be modified to achieve cost savings and do the project now. The attached memo from the Senior Center Project Director outlines the need for the project. Ordinance 2107-2005 would need to be amended to reflect the increased amounts. A substitute ordinance is included. Although we do not have a signed grant agreement from the State, we do have confirmation that this project is eligible for funding from the above mentioned grant, so the substitute ordinance appropriates the grant revenue. If Council does not want to use grant funds for this project the only other funding option that I am aware of is the General Fund. KENAI SENIOR CENTER Helping People Age with Dignity CITY Of KENAi MEMORANDUM TO: CC' Kenai City Council Larry Semmens, Finance Director FROM: Rachael Craig Senior Center Director DATE' July 15, 2005 REFERENCE: Senior Center Kitchen Renovation Project The Kenai Borough population as of July 2003 was said to be 51,220. Seniors 55 and over made up 9,565 or 18.7% increase from the 2000 census of 7,737. Kenai Senior Services service area is designated by our Peninsula Borough funding. Our Service area includes the City' of Kenai, Salamatof, Kalifomsky Beach, Chohoe, Kasilof, and Clam Gulch. Our service area is 26% of the total population aged 60 and above on the Peninsula. Our cha lenge today and in the years to come is how do we meet our growing population within budget restraints but also within the space we currently occupy; specifically our kitchen space. Our meal program has been existence since 1972 when the program was housed in Fort Kenay in the center of "Old Town" Kenai. In 1982, the State of Alaska awarded to the City of Kenai a grant to provide congregate and home delivered meals. During 1983, the State of Alaska awarded a grant to the City of Kenai to build the present day Kenai Senior Center. Since receiving the grant from the state Office on Aging to support services to the target age group of 60 and older, the City has continued to expand its program and services. Our congregate meals'are served five days a week including most holidays. Our home meals are delivered five days a week with two frozen meals being delivered for the weekends, and two meals, if necessary to our Choice Waiver clients. On Tuesday and Thursday a driver delivers meals to the Kasilof area. The Kasilof seniors received a hot 361 SENIOr Court · KENAi, AlaSKa 99611 TElEPhONE: (907) 283-4156 · fax: (907) 283-3200 · E-MAIL: senior@ci.kenai.ak.us meal for the day and frozen meals to compensate for the days when xve do ~.',t ,~eliver. Since the inception of our NI S program our meals program has continually grown. We have grown in number of people served but our kitchen has not changed. In 1982 the dimng room of 1,760 square leet and the kitchen of 660 square feet was built. Then in 1990, an additional 2,000 squ ~re feet was added to the dining room and the kitchen remained the same. We have outgrown our kitchen in relation to the number of meals we serve daily as well as the number of frozen meals prepared. The senior population is the fastest growing population in >ur state with Kenai Peninsula being no exception. These are concerns of additional denmnds as seniors age in place and the "Baby Boomers" reach their senior years. As the senior population increases in age, preparing and delivering more meals is anticit~ated.

However, the frozen meals are shown above since these meals are prepared hot but an added step of sealing and freezing takes place with space needed in the freezer. Areas of concem regarding the kitchen as it is today are as follows' 1. Storage a. Inadequate free,~er and refrigeration space 2. Inadequate and ineffic ently located storage of dry goods, cleaning supplies and dishes for service. a. Addition of a "bus station" that would allow for an efficient and sanitary method of post serv: ce dish handling. 3. Inadequate counter/prel~ space for current demand of meals being served. 4. Inadequate power sour¢ es in and around center prep island. 5. The kitchen range exh~.ust hood has a very low head clearance that currently is a liability issue needing itnmediate attention. 6. Inefficient equipment l~.yout and inefficient working space. 7. Lack of appropriate spt ce for food delivery, laundry needs, and storage of service items. With a new larger walk in free~r and cooler we will be able to purchase.food in bulk for a savings, have an area design;tted for frozen home meals, and more workable space for kitchen staff and volunteers. This will not only enhance our serviceability for our program but also provide a mo~e user-friendly and efficient facility to our community. Once our project is complete ~'e hope our kitchen will sustain us through many years of continued service to our senio~ and our community. 8% of the total Kenai Peninsula population is "baby-boomers." A majority of them have not retired yet and many more beyond. With that in mind, w,,' will continue to see the accelerated increase of a senior population living longer and n,eding the services which only a properly managed and equipped support system can r~:nder. These necessary improvements to our Center will allow us to better serve our ex: sting members and leave us better prepared for the even larger population of deserving s ~niors in our future.

If you have any questions or need further explanation, please contact me at 283-8231. Thank you. OItD~~CE NO. 2108-2005 ,,. EXPLANATION OF AMENDMENTS Code Section 1: KMC 6.05.040, Precinct Board Section 2: KMC 6.05.050, Compensation of election personnel. Section3: KMC 6.05.070, City Clerk to supervise City elections. Section 4: KMC 6.05.080, City Clerk to prepare and furnish ballots. Section 5: KMC 6.05.120, Establishment of Canvassing Board and procedures. Change Additional election judges and codifying description of who is not eligible to be appointed an election judge. Codifies hourly rates to be comparable to state election compensation and defines what may be included in election costs. Adds better definition. Indicates use of tally sheets (when required) and identifies more than one chair and board. Allows for appointment of canvass board members to be more than the number of precincts; allows for more time for the canvassing of ballots; codifies responsibilities of the board; and, extends the period for receipt of voted by-mail absentee ballots. · Explanation. Due to increases of voters participating depending on questions included on ballots, the amount of time involved in assisting voters voting questioned ballots, etc., and offers codified direction as to duties and eligibility. Codifies direction related to compensation and definition of election costs. Codifies better direct_ton. Tally sheets may not always be required due to use of technological changes. a) Due to a large increase of absentee-in-person, personal needs, absentee- by-marl voters, and questioned ballots voters, and the requirement of the Canvass Board to review and verify eligibility of each, the responsibility requires more than three people (representing the chairs of three precincts). b) Allows the Board to continue their work through the following day to complete their work. c) Codifies direction of the Board's responsibility. Section 6: KMC 6.05.170 Removes 6.05.170. Section 7: 6.05.220, Recount of votes; application. Section 8: KMC 6.05.335, Absentee voting-- by facsimile transmission. Increases the recount deposit. Adds a section to allow voting by facsimile transmission. d) Allows additional time for receipt of ballots (the Monday is often a federal holiday and therefore no mail delivery). Canvassing of absentee ballots has been done by the Canvassing Board for many years. This section conflicts with KMC 6.05.120. Increase would better cover some of the expense involved if a recount is requested. Currently voters may request ballots from the City and Borough on a "one-stop" application. The inclusion to the City code to voting by facsimile transmission will simplify the process for those requesting voting by facsimile, instead of receiving the Borough's ballot by facsimile and the City's by mail.

City Attorney Graves noted, the council recommended changes to the reimbursement agreement which were sent on to the borough and ultimately received approval. Graves added, the reimbursement form required a signature by the finance department of Arctic Winter Games (AWG) stating funds were available to cover the cost of the reimbursement. Graves stated, there are funds "in the pipeline" to cover the $200,000, however not all their funding had yet been received; there is enough funding to cover this portion of the project ($33,000); the agreement indicated the city would be reimbursed as the portions of the project KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING JULY 6, 2005 PAGE 5 are built; when the form is completed and signed, AWG is certiff, ng they have the funds available for the first project (bleachers @ $33,000); and, the city will not let the project until the form is completed and signed.

MOTION: Council Member Swarner MOVED for approval of Substitute Resolution No. 2005-33 and Council Member Moore SECONDED the motion. Bill Osborn, 423 Rogers Road, Kenai-- Encouraged council to pass the resolution as an assisted living facility situated in the Kenai area was badly needed. Buck Steiner, 381 Senior Court, Kenai -- Encouraged council's support of the resolution. James McConnell, 19501 Wingham Circle, Eagle River-- Reported six architectural packages were received and the seniors had reviewed five of them. During the next week, they would determine which firm they would use for the design work of the facility. He added, the resolution wording to allow a three-year time frame for substantial completion of the project was aggressive, but they -' ',uld endeavor to complete it within the three-year period.

John J. Willlams~ 306 Candlelight Drive, Kenai -- Williams requested council explore the waiving of the taxes referred to in the last "whereas" of the resolution as IZ~NAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING JULY 6, 2005 PAGE 6 well as the water and sewer assessments owed to the city (which were assessed 20 years prior).

MOTION: KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING JULY 6, 2005 PAGE 7 Council Member Buffer MOVED to authorize administration to enter into an agreement similar to terms in the memorandum {included in the packet). Council Member Ross SECONDED the motion. Moore reported the Commission, at its July 5 meeting, discussed the issue and passed a motion to not make a recommendation and for council to develop a policy (through an ordinance) how buildings, streets, parks, etc. may be named. Council Member Swarner noted she is the Executive Director of the Kenai Peninsula Food Bank, the Food Bank receives contributions from ConocoPhillips, however her salary is not paid by contributions received from ConocoPhillips. Graves stated there was no direct financial link between Swamer and ConocoPhillips; her disclosure cures what connection there is; and, he believed Swarner could participate in the debate and vote. Council Member Ross referred to the last page, second paragraph of the information included in the packet, and the wording, "...ConocoPhillips will be given the first fight of refusal for additional sponsorship." He noted, the city does not have a policy related to naming buildings, etc. He asked if ConocoPhillips would object to deleting that portion from the proposal and not refer to future years, but only the three initial years. Peter Mi¢ciche, Cono¢oPhillips -- Micciche noted an amendment for the proposal to be placed at the end of the sentence saying, "...as the Conoco/Phillips Alaska, City of Kenai Multipurpose Facility" and add: "Either the City of Kenai or Conoco/Phillips Alaska may choose against renewing the sponsorship agreement at the conclusion of this three-year agreement. However, should the Council decide to continue with the sponsorship program..." and then continue with the original wording. Micciche explained, approximately $4,000 would be spent on signage and they would like the first opportunity to match a furore offer, if there is one. He added, if the sponsorship does not work out for the city, it would have the authority to not continue with a sponsorship program {which would be in the agreementl. Graves noted, his understanding is the council could decide not to continue the sponsorship or reject all offers, however if the city took an offer, ConocoPhillips would have the right to match the high offer. Ross stated he envisioned the city would enter into a special use permit with ConocoPhillips and for the next several years, the city would have the opportunity to address other concerns as to how to do a policy, etc. Graves suggested council could authorize administration to draft a special use permit with input from ConocoPhillips and return it to council for approval. Graves added, the mechanism would be a license or permit for a three-year duration. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING JULY 6, 2005 PAGE 8 Council Member Buffer reported he received comments from citizens who made some good points, however they should not be confused with the opportunities available to the city in partnering with ConocoPhillips; he believed three years was a reasonable period of time; he wanted to move on with administration and Micciche to work out the wording; and that was the intent of his motion. Porter stated she believed this would be a good parmership and did not feel uncomfortable with the wording of the agreement because in three years ConocoPhillips would be in competition with other groups who may come forward. Ross stated he agreed with Micciche's wording and wanted a formal agreement to be included in the packet for council's review. Micciche noted, the agreement would need review by their Anchorage office. Council Member Massie stated his reluctance in going forward with the issue as he did not feel it necessary to name the building "ConocoPhillips Kenai City Multipurpose Facility" in order for ConocoPhillips to do its advertising at the building. Micciche noted, the city approached his company to help with some of the difficulties with the building; he requested funds from his company to help the city; he was initially turned down because donating to a municipality is not normally done; in approaching it through advertising, he has to present something significant for approval of the $20,000 donation from his company. He added, he believed the process would open a lot opportunity for the future. Ross suggested the motion include wording to bring the agreement back to council for ratification. Buffer had no objections. It was suggested a topic of partnering with local companies and organizations be added to the strategic planning list.

It was noted, an error appeared on page 2 of the information included in the packet where the site of the property affected was referred to the City of Homer; council action would be to veto the request for vacation as no action would approve; and the vacation request was reviewed by the Planning & Zoning Commission and it recommended approval. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING JULY 6, 2005 PAGE 10 Brian Lowe, 1105 Angler Drive, Kenai-- Reported he requested the vacations in order to make six lots; initially, he planned on building a restaurant however his partner pulled out of the project; and, he plans to build himself a home on one of the lots.

It was her intent for the council to establish a Kenai Community Foundation to provide the public a mechanism to donate to the municipality providing funding for municipal buildings, parks, etc. within the city limits of Kenai. Finance Director Semmens noted, as a city foundation, the board of directors of the non-profit would be controlled by the city. In doing this, the accounting of the funds donated would be included in the city's audit. City Attorney Graves reported he would investigate the issue if it was the council's request. Porter requested permission of council to have Graves investigate the issue further. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING JULY 6, 2005 PAGE 11 Ross stated he would like Graves' information to include Semmens' comments and concerns related to ramifications of the funds being included in the city's financial statement.

It was decided Ms. Snow has the right to make a statement, although it did not mean the council agrees with that statement. Porter stated Snow could make her statement. Snow stated: The decision that the council made earlier this evening is shocking to me and makes me very, very sad. I had advised council earlier in my letter of my feelings regarding this matter during the May 4th executive session which I attended. Mayor Porter informed me the city council did not wish to renew my employment contract after it expires on July 15th, 2005. Instead Mayor Porter informed me the council wanted me to continue as city manager on a month-to-month basis. Although I attempted to ask for clarification, the council, on the advice of the city attorney, did not provide additional information to me or discuss the matter further. Subsequently, Mayor Porter assured me it was her understanding the council wanted me to continue working as city manager after July 15th, 2005 on a month-to-month basis. I previously informed the council of this, that it was my desire to continue my job as city manager after the expiration date of my current contract pursuant to council direction at the May 4th executive session. I really am truly saddened by this decision. I thank you and I have enjoyed my tenure with the City of Kenai.

Snow, City Manager FROM: Keith Kornelis, Public Works Manager DATE: July 14, 2005 SUBJECT: The Conservation Fund - Land Swap & Sale of Wetlands Attached is an e-mail dated July 8 from Brad Meiklejohn, the Alaska Representative for The Conservation Fund. He explains what they plan to do with the wetlands should the City decide to sell it to them, and he also included information on the organization. Brad will be at the Council meeting of July 20. On July 11, the Harbor Commission passed a motion to recommend to Council that the City swap Parcel 7 of city wetlands for the needed land that The Conservation Fund owns near the City Boating Facility. Also, the Commission recommended pursuing the sale of Parcels 1-6 with the exception of Parcel 3 to The Conservation Fund. One July 13, the Planning and Zoning Commission passed a motion to recommend swapping City-owned wetland Parcel 7 for the 6.42 acres of land owned by The Conservation Fund. There was also a motion to sell the additional five parcels with the "panhandle" part of Parcel 2 retained by the City. The motion failed with three "yes" and two "no" votes (four votes required for passing). cc: Marilyn Kebschuil Keith Kornelis From: Brad Meiklejohn@aol.com sent: Friday, July 08, 2005 3'11 PM To: Keith Kornelis Subject: The Conservation Fund Keith, I've attached here a two-page document about The Conservation Fund's work in Alaska. I've also mailed you several copies of our latest annual report. In addition to the projects listed in the attachment, The Conservation Fund has been active in habitat conservation along the Kenai River. Over the past 12 years we have protected approximately 1.5 miles of fiver frontage for wetlands and habitat protection. The specific parcel names of properties we have acquired are Gmbba, Carter, Wellenstein, Mullen, Patson, and Tall Timbers. Our interest in purchasing property from the City of Kenai is to protect these important wetlands for migratory birds, fish, and water quality. The funds that we have available to make these purchases stipulate that the wetlands be permanently protected. After acquiring any property from the City of Kenai our intention is donate the lands to an appropriate land managing entity. The Conservation Fund will not be the long-term owner and manager of these lands. It is most likely .that any lands acquired from the City will be donated to the State of Alaska for inclusion in the Kenai River Special Management Area, with specific provisions that preclude development of the parcels. I also should emphasize that we are interested in purchasing any combination of parcels 1-7 that is acceptabae to the City of Kenai.

The purpose of the report is the estimate the market value of the 6.42-acre parcel. Importantly, the valuation assumes the appraised parcel is a legal partition from a larger 31.5-acre parcel. Platting the parcel, which is a hypothetical condition of · this report, may produce a small variation in land area but have no significant affect on the value indicator. We understand you intend to use the appraisal to evaluate a potential land exchange involving the City of Kenai.

Moreover, we prepare this report to co~nply with Standard Rule 2-2(c) of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) that pertains to a Restricted Use Appraisal. Based on the data, reasoning, and analysis relied upon in the appraisal process, we esti~nate the market value of the appraised parcel, as of September 10, 2004, is $80,000.

Thank you for this assignment and the opportunity to be of service to the City of Kenai. Sincerely, Vjulie Derry ~-' Restricted Use Appraisal Report Client l Intended Use/ _Purpose Scope of Work Property Identification Keith Kornelis, Public Works Director City of Kenai 210 Fidalgo Avenue, Suite 200 Kenai, AK 99611 To estimate Market Value for the sole purpose of assisting the client, the City of Kenai, in determining Market Value of the individual parcels for their use in negotiating a potential land trade with the Conservation Fund. Based on consultations with the client, consistent with the intended use/purpose, the appropriate scope of work was developed. A physical inspection was made of the parcels appraised, neighborhood, and market data analyzed in the valuation process. The appraiser also relied on notes and Photographs taken during previous inspections along the Kenai River. Additional data was obtained from available maps/aerials, and through inquiries with the Borough's Kenai River Center, utility providers, and other knowledgeable about the Kenai River. The value analysis utilized the Sales Comparison technique. In this process comparable sales data was researced and then analyzed. Data sources included the appraiser's market data bank, MLS sale/listings data, research of recorded documents, real estate agents/brokers, and parties to the transactions. In the valuation process quantitative and qualitative adjustments were made to the comparables for differences in comparison to the parcels appraised. The extent of analysis required was increased due to the parcel's primarily wetlands characteristics, Kenai River frontage, and the lack of constructed road access and utilities to all of the parcels except Parcel 2. Numerous sales and listings were researched to provide a basis for applying' market-derived adjustments. Seven acreage tracts fronting on the 'Kenai River between River Mile 5- 11f~ Due to their legthy metes and bounds legal descriptions r valuation purposes they are identified by their Kenai Peninsula Borough Parcel numbers in the property description section which follows. DERRY & ASSOCIATES, Inc. Appraisal Dates llnterest Valued Date of Inspection: April 22, 2005 Effective Date of Value: April 22, 2005 Date of Report: April 26, 2005 Fee Simple Ownership History Property Description The City of Kenai, owner of record, has owned the parcels in excess of the three-year reporting period. During this time frame the parcels have not been listed for sale. There are no reported pending offers to purchase/sell any of the tracts. However, according to the client this appraisal will be used to establish a basis for negotiating a potential land trade with the Conservation Fund. The appraiser has no knowledge of the value of the acreage to be traded. The following table summarizes physical characteristics of the parcels. Soils data is from the US Soil Conservation Service Soil Survey for the Kasilof-Kenai Area. For the most part the parcels contain a high proportion of poorly drained, mostly peat type soils with a high water table. Copies of the Borough's new wetlands overlay maps for the neighborhood are included at the end of this report. Except for Parcel 2 which fronts on Angler Drive along the north boundary the other parcels do not have constructed road access or public utilities available. Due to the proximity to the mouth of the Kenai River at Cook Inlet this section of the river is subject to tidal fluctuation and the river level increases at the incoming to high tide..Parcels-4-7 are islands and reportedly subject to some flooding at higher tides. A portion, if not all, of each parcel is within a designated floodplain, with a base elevation established at fourteen feet. Sizes reported are from the Kenai Peninsula Borough Assessor's plat map. Due to possible erosion and/or accretion all of the parcels may vary in size from that reported. This is likely considering they were platted as government lots many years ago. The appraiser reserves the right to modify the value conclusions if a survey by a Registered Land Surveyor reveals a variation in size from that used in this appraisal. The parcels are within the city limits of Kenai and zoned Rural Residential. DERRY & ASSOCIATES, Inc.

After much discussion with Electric Time Company, who manufactures the clock, the City would like to make the following changes' Purchase two 36" semi-flush surface mounted clocks. The original purchase was for one 42" double-faced clock. The surface mounted clock will fit and look better than the Double faced clock, this is an increase of $180. Purchase back-lit neon illumination instead of fluorescent bulb illumination. The neon illumination will put out more light, works better in cold climates and only requires bulb replacement every 10-15 years (fluorescent bulbs need to be replaced every 2-years). Total new cost: $7,O42 $1,000 $8,042 The Beautification- Improvement (clock) budget is $7,000, so we need an additional $1,042. Mayor Porter suggested an administrative transfer of $1,042 from the John Watson Memorial Fund Deposit Account to this budget. Since the PO to Electric Time Company was for $6,862, if Council agrees, the purchase order needs to be increased by $1,180 to $8,042.

Dear Kim, I would like to amend the currently proposed construction plan completion date provision, contained in the above referenced property lease. The paragraph below outlines the extent of the construction that has already been completed on this property. Additionally, I have included information I feel may be helpful in establishing grounds for extending the time allowed to complete the proposed construction on this property. Over three years of on-time payments have been made to the city of Kenai under the current lease. To date, the total construction and site improvement costs expended on the leased property is approximately $43,000.00 dollars. My reason for wanting to delay the currently proposed construction plan is to explore options to expand the project by adding extra facilities. There am repeated requests for a business center, a meeting room, kitchenettes, etc. Unfortunately, similar items were not included in the current plan. i realize that any changes to the existing plan will require the planning and zoning committee approval. The currently proposed construction plan was designed to increase the total number of guestrooms. That is still the main objective, and under the currently proposed plan, construction could be completed within 18 to 24 months. Additionally, construction will begin this fall to complete the additional guest moms located on the second floor of the existing building, before the start of the Winter Games. Other projects to be completed include paving, signs and a fireplace in the lobby. I appreciate your time and consideration in this matter. Please feel free to call me for additional information or to answer questions that may arise. Sincerely, Julie Latta 4 ,-~. 3A?- 2A1 10 9 8 7 6 FBO 4 9 7A-1 FBO NO. 5 TR. A This eli Parce TR. B TR.

Snow, City Manager Keith Kornelis, Public Works Manager DATE' July 14, 2005 SUBJECT: FY 2006 Designated Legislative Grants Attached is the letter from the State dated July 1,2005, notifying the City of the two grants that we have been awarded. I have talked to Jolene Julian, Grants Administrator, who said that the project description might be brief and vague. She also said that we could use City general fund money for a project now; and later, when we actually receive the funds, replace the general fund money with this grant money. However, the expenditures have to be after this award letter of July 1, 2005. Below is my suggestion for use of the funds. The first project can be used for any public improvements, so I'm sure there will not be a lack of suggestions on how to use these funds. KENAI PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS -$290,000 Water System Improvements' The intended use of these funds (but not written into the grant) would be to help to pay for furnishing and installing water treatment plants at our well houses. We have an arsenic problem at Wells 1, 3, and 4 and a color problem at Well 2. Senior Center Improvements' Another option that could be considered is to use some of these grant funds for the Senior Kitchen Project. We opened bids on this project yesterday and need additional funds to award the construction. The State said we could use our general fund money now and later replace it with this grant money. Linda L. Snow, City Manager Page 2 July 14, 2005 KENAI ROAD AND SEWER IMPROVEMENTS - $790,000 Kenai Road System Improvements for the Purpose of Improving the Transportation Routes and Parking Areas within the Ci~:. These improvements to new or eXisting facilities may include but are not limited to, street and parking lot paving, gravel improvements, trails, storm drainage, utility work, curbs and gutters, sidewalks, water and sewer improvements in the road right-of-way, and street lighting. The grant funds will be used to pay for administration costs, engineering design, inspection, and surveying costs, utility relocation costs, and material and construction costs to improve the parking and transportation routes. These grant funds may be used as a City contribution to a Local Improvement District for the improvements listed above. These funds could also be used to fund the construction of an exit road from the Kenai Boating Facility (not written into the grant).

Freas, City Clerk AIRPORT COMMISSION MEETING JULY 14, 2005 PAGE 3 Kenai Municspal Airport Strategic Planning Kenai Municipal Airport - Supplemental Planning Analysis Strategic Planning INTRODUCTION The purpose of this action is to have the City Council adopt a Mission Statement and Vision Statement for the Kenai Municipal Airport as a reflection of City policy. Airports represent different things to different people. To most, airports are where one goes to catch an airplane to begin most long distance business or vacation trips. To others, the local airport is a base to store and fly their personal airplane or to learn how to fly. And for others, the airport is a fuel stop on the way to somewhere else. The military and flight schools often use local airports to practice takeoffs and landings. Clearly, airports play a variety of roles in our state transportation system. In order to move forward with the strategic planning process, and the creation of an airport business plan, it is important for the City of Kenai to have a clear understanding of the role the Kenai Municipal Airport currently plays as a transportation resource for the community. It is also just as important to have a clear vision of how the airport should develop over time in order for it to remain an asset to the city. To this end, the consultant team involved in the Kenai Municipal Airport - Supplemental Planning Analysis, would like to recommend that the City Council adopt an Airport Mission Statement to infer some order of priorities in how services are delivered at Kenai Municipal, and a Vision Statement as description of a preferred furore for the airport. BACKGROUND A strategic plan is a method of determining the most effective use of an airport's investment and capital opportunities. It is a document that shapes all other plans: facilities development, personnel, financial and so on. The underlying framework of the strategic plan is to assess the airport within the context of the Extemal Environment, Internal Activities and Financial Targets. The External Environment relates to the airport's business environment, the trends within the aviation industry, the airport's customer base and root-cause analysis; that is, understanding the causes of trends that have been identified. Internal Activities include operating activities, organization, strategy and staff. Financial Targets relate to return on investment, operating margins, capital intensity revenue growth, and cash flow. Simply put, strategic planning determines where an organization is going over long-term, how it's going to get there and how it'll know if it got there or not. The focus of a strategic plan is usually on the entire organization, while the focus of a business plan is usually on a particular service or program. PURPOSE The purpose of preparing a strategic plan is to: Clearly define the purpose of Kenai Municipal Airport and to establish realistic goals and objectives consistent with that mission in a defined time frame within the airport's capacity for implementation. Keiser Phillips Associates Draft July 6, 2005 Kenai Municipal Airport Strategic Planning 2. Communicate those goals and objectives to the community. 3. Develop a sense of ownership of the plan. 4. Ensure the most effective use is made of the airport's resources by focusing the resources on the key priorities. 5. Provide a base from which progress can be measured and establish a mechanism for informed change when needed. 6. Building a consensus about the direction the airport is taking. In summary, a strategic plan provides for clearer focus for the Kenai Municipal Airport and provides a bridge between the Kenai Airport staff, City staff and the City Council. MISSION STATEMENT At its most basic, the mission statement describes the overall purpose of Kenai Municipal Airport. The purpose of developing the mission statement is to infer some order of priorities in how services are delivered and to clearly separate the mission of the Kenai Municipal Airport from other airports in the KPB. The recommended Mission Statement for Kenai Municipal Airport: The primary mission of Kenai Municipal Airport is to enhance community economic development through the provision of scheduled air carder passenger service to the state and national air transportation system; the maintenance of a safe and efficient infrastructure for air taxi, air cargo and general aviation users; and support of the City of Kenai as a gateway for KPB tourists and recreational users while providing a high quality of service. When creating this mission statement consideration was given to the airport's services, markets, values, concern for public image, stakeholders and priorities of activities for survival and growth. Consideration was also given to the importance and convenience having consistent and frequent scheduled air service in Kenai as an alternative to a three to four hour drive to Anchorage. VISION STATEMENT A Vision Statement is a description of a preferred future. environment of an organization. It draws on the beliefs, mission, and The recommended Vision of Kenai Municipal Airport is: A strong air transportation hub with scheduled-air carriers serving multiple destinations, expanded air taxi, air cargo and floatplane facilities, and a fixed based operator (FBO) supporting business aviation users. Airside activities will be sustained through a well-managed landside development program that will enhance the attractiveness of the community through consistent development standards, generate long-term revenue streams and protect the airport environs from encroachment of incompatible land uses.

PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MEETING JULY 13, 2005 PAGE 7 Municipal Airport I! Monthly ReportII New Public Pay Parking Lot: The south end of the airport, commonly referred to as the general aviation area requires more public parking for vehicles. Use of the hangars in that area combined with increased business for light cargo and charter passengers has brought us to the point that we no longer have enough parking for all the customers on the individual lots. The Airport Commission has worked on this issue for the last year and has developed a final recommendation for Council. The complete package with details, fiscal notes and back up information is scheduled for the August 3 Council meeting. In short, the plan is to negotiate the acquisition of a lot currently leased but undeveloped near the corner of Main Street Loop and FBO Road. The lessee is aware of the vehicle parking issues in that area and is willing to sit down with the City and negotiate a reasonable price to buy out the remainder of his lease. Once all of the background information and Commission recommendations are finalized, the information will be presented to Council for direction. Kenai River Classic: The Kenai Classic corporate jets started arriving on July 5. Ten jets associated with the Classic elected to remain in Kenai parked on our ramp. The jets ranged in size from Gulfstream V's owned by Lockheed Martin and Marathon Oil to Falcons and Citations from Honeywell and Oshkosh. Airport staff assisted in parking the aircraft, escorting passengers, and assisting the pilots with securing fuel and catering needs. The Kenai Police Department assisted in coordinating security with Capitol Police and State Troopers and running extra patrols to ensure the safety of the parked aircraft. Due to the concern and support provided by the City of Kenai, more and more corporate aircraft are choosing to remain on the ramp in Kenai rather than returning to Anchorage to wait for their passengers. We are speaking to the Classic organizers about doing a mini tournament and other events for the corporate pilots and crews to further encourage them to think of Kenai as a good destination. We collected around $650 in parking and landing fees in addition to alot of good publicity. Annual FAA Certification Inspection: The annual Certification inspection was conducted on June 20-22. The inspector noted the runway, apron and taxiway markings are faded and need to be painted. Arrangements have been made with State DOT to comply with this deficiency. The inspector also noted that some of the fueling operations were out of compliance and Fire Marshal Baisden is addressing those issues. Overall, it was a very successful inspection and once again, the Kenai Fire Department was commended on their preparedness and Administrative Assistant Mary Bondurant was commended on the record keeping. KENAI POLICE DEPARTMENT 107 SOUTH WILLOW STREET K£NA.I. AK 99611 TO' Linda L. Snow, City Manager Telephone (907) 283-7879 Fax (907) 283-2267 I~J~2 FROM: Charles M. Kopp, Chief of Police DATE: July 12, 2005 SUBJECT: JUNE 2005 REPORT The Kenai Police Department responded to 671 requests for service in June, and the Communications Center received 174 calls for service via E-911. On 6/14/05 Officer Aaron Tumage taught a 3-hour seminar on investigating clandestine laboratories that manufacture methamphetamime, physiological effects of methamphetamime, and safety concerns for police and fire responders. Approximately 30 police and fire personnel attended from Kenai Police Department, Kenai Fire Department, Soldotna Police Department, Alaska State Troopers, District Attorney Office and Adult Probations. Investigator Kelly George attended a one-day Western States Information Network/Intelligence records class in Anchorage on 6/30/05. This instruction outlined federal laws on filing/maintaining intelligence records. The department spent a large amount of staff time in meetings and preparations for the July Personal Use Dipnet Fishery. MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: THRU: City Council Larry Semmens, Finance Director~ Linda Snow, City Manager DATE: July 12, 2005 SUBJECT: Investment Report At June 30, 2005 the City had investments with a market value of $32,947,831.00 which is down from $33,013,706.14 at June 30, 2004. The portfolio yield is 3.35% compared to 2.61% last year. The breakdown of types of investments held is: US Agency Securities AML Investment Pool Bank Balance $31,875,532.70 $ 6O9,775.56 $ 462,522.74 Interest rates continue to trend upward in the short, maturity range that we typically invest in. The Federal Reserve Board increased short term rates recently and the expectation is that the federal funds rate will be around 4% by the end of the year. The turnaround in rates causes the market value of the securities in the portfolio to decline. Unfortunately, accounting rules require that l recognize a paper loss of $83,763.42 this year, but that is down from the nearly $300,000 paper loss that we had to book last year. Total interest income is about $825,000 which is a substantial increase from the $325,000 we recorded last year. However this is still well below historical levels. 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.

Projects Coordinator Date' July 13, 2005 RE' Monthly Report The KEDS Action Team is in place, and for the time being the group has been meeting monthly, and will eventually move to quarterly meetings. Not bad for now though, considering it's summer. The last KEDS meeting we had was on July 11 th. The meeting primarily was dedicated to shaping the Committees that will oversee each of the KEDS' initiatives. Two of the Committees, Tourism and Quality of Life, have held meetings and have more scheduled within the next month. The other three Committees are rounding out the member slates and starting to meet. The function of the Action Team is to serve as an advisory board of sons for the different Committees. It is there to ensure that Committees continue to meet, and that the KEDS plan is being followed through. The various Committees will make continual reports at the Action Team meetings to keep all of the members up to speed. We are at an onerous stage fight now with the project, but the main object is to keep things moving and keep groups meeting so that people remain dedicated to reaching the goals. Our next meeting is scheduled for August 8th. At that time we will come up with a report to give to the City Council. We will also appoint a spokesperson for the group.

From: Date: RE: Linda Snow. City Manager Robert J. Frates. Parks & Recreation Director~ 7/14/05 Monthly Admin. Report June was comprised of mostly routine maintenance work for our summer crews, including ball field, turf, flowers, and park maintenance. Occasional rain during early June brought some relief although most of June was dry. Watering restrictions went into affect on June 21 st as a result of the high water usage. Non-routine maintenance tasks included trail work at Municipal Park, including the addition of a park sign, picnic tables, and parking barricades. Isolated vandalism (mostly graffiti) also kept crews scrambling. Nearly all turf areas were limed this season as well as being sprayed for dandelion control. Work was also initiated on one of the Leif Hansen beds in order to make it relatively maintenance free. Additionally, the disc golf course throwing pads all received a crashed asphalt surface in order to make for a firmer, consistent throwing surface. All trashcans were pulled from the Little League fields and Municipal Park for a period of time in June as a result of a bear sighting. Fish and Game coordinated with our office and the Police Department and were successful at trapping and removing the bear. Preparations were made for the upcoming dip net season. The Street Departmem constructed a third shack for Old Cannery Road as well as handled the bulk of the sign making and placement. A new master sign for the north beach was made by sign works and installed near the pay station. The Parks & Recreation Commission heard testimony from the Kenai Kennel Club at their July 5th meeting expressing their desire to be involved in the development of Section 36. Their interest is a dog park with a long-term goal of hosting trials and shows in Kenai. Presently, their July show/trial features 700 dogs and over 125 dogs during their September agility trial.

There are many people from all over the world in to use the Internet to keep up on what is happening in the world and to let family and friends know they are in Kenai, Alaska and doing well. Now with dip-net season starting we will have more and more visitors from all over Alaska in to keep in touch with family/friends using Internet. Having wireless access has helped keep line-up for use down. We see many more folks bringing in their laptops and using them in the library. Visitors have commented on the new display case and the dolls and jewelry that are within. It is a lovely addition to our Alaskana collection. Summer reading is what keeps us hopping during June. We had over 200 eager readers sign up this summer. They met every Monday. The theme for the program "Dragons, Dreams & Daring Deeds" had the readers learning more about the Medieval times. Readers were invited to build castles and their efforts were on display in the library. What wonderful imaginations were at work using marshmallows, sugar cubes, tea tins, paper cups and legos to build their castles. Carol Ford and the Kenai Performers put on a play for the kids. "The Ugly Duckling" by AA Milne was very well received by all. A party for all the reading program participants will be held at the city park with book prizes, certificates, a presentation by the Society of Creative Anachronism in Medieval costume, and of course, cake.

The Port Authority itself is a collaborative effort between the municipalities of the Fairbanks North Star Borough, the City of Valdez and the North Slope Borough. Knowing firsthand the revenue challenges facing Alaska's local governments, providing a significant revenue shadng benefit to all municipalities was a priodty in developing the economic model for this project. While state revenue sharing has steadily declined from approximately $60 million in 1985 to approximately $10 million in 2004, subject to contract negotiations, the projected revenue shadng to all municipalities from the Port Authority project would start at over $100 million and steadily escalate, more than doubling in the first twenty years of production to over $200 million. The All Alaska Gasline would consist of an 800 mile line from Prudhoe Bay to Valdez where the gas would be converted to liquid natural gas for shipment to the West Coast. Sempra Energy, the nation's second largest distributor of natural gas, would purchase 100% of the product. Recently Sempra Energy has given notice of its intent to withdraw financial support from the project due to the "protracted political wrestling taking place in Alaska". Sempm also-concluded that the North Slope producers will continue to refuse to sell the gas unless the State of Alaska takes measures to demand othen~ise. The producers have no incentive to sell the gas because it would compete with gas headed to U.S. markets from their other projects around the wodd. Likewise, it does not appear that the producers intend to market Alaska's gas any time soon. In fact, Exxon President Lee Raymond was quoted in the May 30 edition of Natural Gas Week as saying that although the "people in Alaska don't like to hear it", an Alaska gas line will not be built until after a Canadian line is built. Canada's own "political wrestling" is diminishing the prospect of a Canadian line being built in the foreseeable future. Sempra's withdrawal prompted the Mayor of Wrangell, Valery McCandless, to submit the enclosed Letter to the Editor to the Anchorage Daily News which mn June 12th. As her letter underscores, Alaska's economic future is at stake and the collective voice of our local governments needs to be heard. Unless the State of Alaska acts swiftly and decisively, the hope of getting Alaska's gas to market in this generation sharply fades. The Alaska Constitution mandates that the legislature provide for the utilization and developmem of its natural resources "for the maximum benefit of its people". The generous municipal revenue shadng that would result from the All Alaska Gasline project would help to ensure that every single Alaskan would benefrt from the development of Alaska's gas. ,And that is the way it should be. Stay informed by visiting our website, and contact your legislative representatives and let them know your community's position on these all important issues. Sinc,?rel. y: ~ ~ Jim Whitaker, Chairman, Alaska Gasline Port Authority adn.c-om An~orage. Daily' News Daily News letters Print Page ] [ Close Window (Published: .lune 12, 2005) All-Alaska gas line state needs support from communities around the This month's statewide news report that Sempra would be seeking a gas source outside Alaska is devastating to communities throughout our state ("Ali-Alaska gas line loses funds," June 2). This ali-Alaska gas line project, as proposed by the Alaska Gasline Port Authority, provided for a Southcentral gas grid distribution, potential additional pipeline through Canada to IVlidwest markets, and more than 7,000 Alaskan jobs. The project also projected $:1.2 billion to producers from the sale of gas, $452 million to the state of: Alaska in severance and royalties and $111 million prorated to municipalities from the sale of gas based on the second year of production, according to an online May report from the Alaska Gasline Port Authority. I want to send a loud and clear message to both the governor and the Legislature that this project, with its planned municipal revenue sharing, needs both their support and pursuit. Our state constitution provides for maximizing our mineral and natural resource wealth for the maximum benefit of Alaska's citizens. This Port Authority plan .provides the most equitable distribution of earned monies by its inclusion of a municipal revenue sharing plan based on population. The community of Wrangell desperately needs this program, but equally important, so does every community in this state! .... Valery McCandless, mayor Wrangell Comma.nd Change for MSO-Anchorage Captain Ronald J. Moms retired fi.om the U.S. Coast Guard and his position as Commanding Officer of the Marine Safety Office in Anchorage recently following a presentation of colors, inspection of troops, reading of the watch, and several other traditions. The Change of Command ceremony also welcomed Captain Mark DeVries in the position. Executive Director Michael Munger and CIRCAC President Doug Jones attended the event at the Alaska Native Heritage Center and presented Captain Moms with an appreciation gift and a copy of the Council resolution thanking him for his service. Rear Admiral James C. Oison (right) Captain Moms enlisted in the stands for the Change of Command cer- Coast Guard in 1972. Hi s first tour emony for Captains Ronald J. Morris of duty was on the icebreaker (center) and Mark R. DeVries. Northwind followed by a tour at the Air Station Port Angeles, WA before being commissioned in 1975. He served in Portsmouth, VA; Buffalo, N.Y.; and New Orleans, LA where he attended college at night during his tour, receiving his B.S. in Business Administration and Management. Later he worked in Yorktown, VA; Juneau; Cleveland, OH; Valdez; and New Orleans, LA where he served as the Western Rivers Coordinator over all or part of 26 states. Captain DeVries reports to the MSO-Anchorage having completed a two-year tour in the Middle East as the Officer-in- Charge, Maritime Liaison Office Bahrain and Marine Safety Special Assistant to Commander Naval Forces Central Command. Captain DeVries returns to Anchorage where he previously served as the Executive Officer from 1997- 2000. CIRCAC is looking forward to working with Captain DeVries and his staff to promote safe marine transportation and facility operations in Cook Inlet. Marine Firefighting Plan Available Online Kodiak Island Additions Up Next The Marine Firefighting and Salvage Plan project assumes that a major marine fire, particularly a vessel fire, may require resources beyond those locally available and that effective response will require resource deployment coordination among a broad range of organizations. Initially a PROPS Committee project, the manual is now publicly available on the web at http:// www.capeintl.com/_downloads/ Cook Inlet MFF Plan rev2005.doc. CIRCAC completed the Cook Inlet plan in late summer 2004 and delivered it to U.S. Coast Guard Captain Ron Moms. The plan will be sent for consideration for the Subarea Plan once it receives official approval. Like contingency planning, the firefighting manual identifies the means and methods necessary to access federal, state, and local resources. Like GRS, the process is workgroup driven and CIRCAC has submitted the product to the Cook Inlet Committee for Oil and Hazardous Materials Contingency Plan. CIRCAC expects the plan to be included in the Cook Inlet Subarea Plan. The firefighting manual provides for a coordinated response by the U.S. Coast Guard and other federal, state, local, and civilian responders to fires onboard vessels or at waterfront facilities. CIRCAC and the workgroup integrated into the manual relevant policies, responsibilities, and procedures for coordination of on-scene responders including community profiles and capabilities, response resources, command and control, initial response and other areas of concern. The second phase of the' project, scheduled for completion in 2005, will address the same concerns for the Kodiak Island Subarea. Cape Decision International will continue as the lead contractor for the project. Shorezone Extends to Kodiak/Afognak CIRCAC's Director of Science and Research Susan Saupe recently assembled a unique group of scientists, all well known for their work in respective areas of expertise, to collect habitat data in many of the areas bays, coves, and flats around Kodiak. During low tide series in May and June, the scientists sampled the outer coasts, passes, and bays of Afognak, Shuyak, Kodiak, and Sitkinak Islands for a total of 20 days. The scientists worked in teams to conduct three projects concurrently during the trip: coastal mapping, vessel-based species sampling, and coastal geomorphology data validation. Shorezone Mapping addresses CIRCAC's Congressional mandates to identify potential sensitive areas and to foster long-term parmerships among industry, govemment, and local communities to oversee compliance. By working with state and federal agencies, universities, and the stakeholder interest groups in Cook Inlet, CIRCAC accomplishes more scientific objectives than by working alone. Through these collaborations, CIRCAC also can better incorporate the concerns of the Council members and the cities, villages, and interest groups they represent. In recent years, CIRCAC expanded its Shorezone Mapping project that maps coastal habitats and the nearshore along Cook Inlet, the Outer Kenai Coast, and Kodiak Island through collaborations with the National Park Service, Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustee Council, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Other collaborations through public workshops provide a framework for integrating data such as the Center for Alaska Coastal Studies Coastwalk program. The first of the project components, coastal mapping, extended Shorezone Mapping to Kodiak using aerial surveys. Dr. John Harper of Coastal and Ocean Resources, Inc. (CORI) led the aerial surveys. Another team conducted vessel-based species sampling of algae and invertebrates for numerous habitats, exposures, and substrates within the Kodiak Island Archipelago's nearshore environment. A third component of the trip looked closely at the coastal geomorphology to validate what scientists have seen from the aerial mapping surveys. Dr. Carl Schoch conducted this portion of the survey relying on his extensive geomorphological experience in Alaska. Dr. Sandra Lindstrom is creating a detailed list of algae species collected from the various habitats and Dr. Alan Fukuyama is creating a similar list for invertebrates. Mandy Lindeberg of NOAA is participating in the fieldwork because she will be leading a similar project including aerial and ground shore surveys in Southeast Alaska. NOAA and others are mapping Southeast Alaska up to Icy Bay near Yakutat later this summer using Shorezone methods. In exchange for travel to Kodiak and accommodations on the research vessel, a photographer specializing in intertidal photography spent 10 days on the vessel. Donna McCoy's images have been provided to CIRCAC and will be used for public education. Permit Project Moves Forward Oil spills are paperwork intensive events and sometimes the process can slow a response. CIRCAC initiated the Alaska Oil Spill Permits, Forms, and Applications Project to identify the forms and permits required to carry out an effective spill response. Our objectives are aimed at revising state permits as needed, removing redundant permit requirements, and centralizing all permits in an easily searched computer-based organization system made accessible through the Internet and also distributed on CD-ROM. CIRCAC ultimately expects the product to be included in the Alaska Federal/State Preparedness Plan for Response to Oil and Hazardous Substance Discharges/Releases Unified Plan. Director of Public Outreach Stephen Howell and John Kwietniak of Tesoro have presented the project at Alaska Regional Response Team meeting Anchorage and the Local Emergency Planning Committee meeting in Kodiak to make users aware of the advantages. Representatives will also present information on the project at the Pacific State/BC Task Force meeting July 27 in Anchorage. Board Member Profile: The Council Briefs highlights Grace Merkes in the second of a series of Board Member Profiles, Since 1998, Ms. Merkes has served on the CIRCAC Board of Directors representing the Kenai Peninsula Borough. An active parliamentarian, Ms. Merkes has served on several committees and has chaired the Environmental Monitoring Committee for the past two years. Her work on the RCAC improves navigational safety and oil facility operations in Cook Inlet. Ms. Merkes is a recent recipient of the First Lady's Volunteer Award for 2005 for her life of public service to her community and state. A mother of 8 children and a member of one of Sterling, Alaska's homesteading families, she is a tireless volunteer and advocate for the youth and families of her community. Her decades of hard work have manifest in many projects that improve the quality of life for the area's residents. Ms. Merkes devotes her energies to a number of organizations. She continues to serve on the Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly where she has for the past 14 years. Her work has helped the borough prioritize through challenging budgets as well as during significant community growth. She has been an advocate for small communities within the borough, identifying projects important to those communities and incorporating them in legislative requests for funding. Prior to her tenure on the Assembly, she was a member of the KPB Planning Commission. Over the last 10 years, Ms. Merkes has been one of the catalysts within the Sterling Community Club, spearheading drives to build a hockey rink, ball field, and playground for children. She is currently developing funding sources to build a community center that would house a local museum, library, community meeting rooms, and would provide a new home for the local Head Start, an organization she helped found. Ms. Merkes corralled Grace Merkes service agencies in 2000 to demonstrate the need for Head Start services. She organized meetings and cooperated with RuralCap to garner the necessary grant funding. Sterling Head Start now serves 40 local children and has 10 employees, a testament to her insight and commitment to community development. In recent years, Governor Frank Murkowski appointed Ms. Merkes to the State of Alaska's Human Rights Commission where she serves as Vice President. As a VISTA volunteer, Ms. Merkes taught basic computing skills, created a self-help library, and helped architect the Sterling Community Action Plan to guide development in her area. Her work with Love, Inc., a group of churches that coordinates services to people in need, quietly touched the lives of many families and individuals in the Central Peninsula region. Ms. Merkes still finds the time to help people one-on-one as she volunteers for the local gymnastics club, the senior center, and Sterling Head Start where she is known as "Gramma Grace." Munger Appointed to IOGCC's Environmental/Safety Committee CIRCAC Executive Director Michael Munger was recently appointed by Alaska Governor Frank Murkowski to a committee within the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission. The IOGCC, which held its midyear meeting in Anchorage, is an organization of states which promotes conservation and efficient recovery of domestic oil and natural gas resources while protecting health, safety and the environment. Gov. Murkowski currently chairs the commission. The committee on which Mr. Munger will serve, the Environmental and Safety Committee, is a national forum for such oil and gas issues and gathers information on legislative, regulatory, and technological developments More information on the IOGCC, can be found at http://www, iogcc.state.ok, us. CTRCAC Attends AMOP & TOSC CIRCAC Director of Operations Terrance Bryant and Assistant Executive Director Karen Williams attended the annual Arctic and Marine Oil Spill Program (AMOP) held by Environment Canada. The technical conference often highlights new developments in oil spill response in cold climates. During this year's conference, Mr. Bryant presented the Alaska Oil Spill Permits, Forms and Applications project. The CIRCAC-initiated and co- authored white paper is designed to streamline the permitting process in Unified Command with the goal of decreasing response times. CIRCAC Director of Public Outreach Stephen Howell, Board Member Rob Lindsey, and PROPS Committee Member Barry Eldridge attended the 2005 International Oil Spill Conference (IOSC). Representatives from other area organizations also attended including Nuka Research, Tesoro Alaska, Alaska Chadux, CISPRI, and Prince William Sound RCAC. DireCtor of Public Outreach StePhen Howell visits with an attendee at the International Oil Spill Con- ference recently. Three CIRCAC staff members served on IOSC paper review committees to evaluate submitted papers relating to oil spill prevention and clean-up technologies.
