Memorandum

To: Mayor and Council
From: Richard A. Ross, City Manager
RE: Ordinance No. 1786-98
fihe Administration recommends that the Council does not enact
Ordinance 1786-98.
On June 24 in a telephone conversation with NASA, the City
Administration and Challenger representatives, the following information
was obtained.
1. NASA will deal directly with Challenger as the grantee. They
are setup to work directly with the non-profit on the
construction project, as long as the non-profit has
construction management in place. It is Challenger's intent
to do this through contractual arrangement with the
architect/ engineering firms they have selected.
Under the above conditions the City of Kenai will not be
receiving the NASA funds or be responsible for their
distribution through appropriation or contract award. The
City will not be responsible for grant administration or
construction administration.
2. Challenger President Steffy and Director Popp requested of
the City that Mr. La Shot continue to participate with the
Challenger construction committee in an advisory capacity.

Mr. Robson from the Borough also assists them in this
capacity. Neither the City Attorney nor myself see any
problem with Mr. La Shot providing advisory assistance to
the Challenger Board.
The relationship of the City of Kenai, Challenger Learning Center of
Alaska, the National Challenger organization and NASA would be as
follows:
1. Challenger Learning Center of Alaska is the grantee and
responsible to NASA for the operation of a Challenger Center.
Should a Challenger Learning Center cease to operate in the
facility, NASA reserves the right to make other disposition of
the facility.
2. Challenger Learning Center of Alaska is responsible to the
National Challenger Organization for the operation of the
program. Should the program not operate then the National
Challenger organization has control over disposition of the
modules.
3. The City of Kenai will lease the land to Challenger Learning
Center of Alaska. Within the lease language the City Council
and Challenger can negotiate the level of support and special
conditions which were previously set out in the Memorandum
of Understanding. Should a Challenger Learning Center
cease to function, the City's lease would revert to a standard
lease without special conditions.
