Council Member Bookey MOVED to approve the consent agenda as presented and
Council Member Swarner SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO
ORDERED,
ITEM B: SCHEDULED PUBLIC COMMENTS
B-14, Mark Schrag -- Request for Dust Control
Mark Schrag, 312 Princess, Kenai -- Schrag stated he was an advocate for dust control
applications to his neighborhood for the coming summer. He reported he spoke to
several council members and understood the budget concerns, but was hoping
applications could be made throughout the summer. He suggested some creative
thinking, including how to partner with members of his neighborhood and others,
adding, he believed the city would be receiving other complaint calls over the next few
weeks.
Williams and Public Works Manager Kornelis explained the process of budgeting and
arranging for use of the truck to the dust control applications, noting to do it in May
and June, the funding would be needed from the current budget and there were no
monies budgeted for this use in the current budget. Additionally, arrangements for
the use of the truck, the product, and permits must be done early in the year. It was
also noted council would be discussing the issue during budget work sessions and
Schrag was encouraged to attend the work sessions in regard to his request.
Amy Brask -- Student at Kenai Central High School. Brask questioned the use of oil
product and asked if it was a pollutant. Kornelis explained the product is a clean
refined oil product and there are Department of Environmental Conservation
restrictions on how much, where it is placed, the type of equipment used to applying
the product, etc.
ITEM C: REPORTS OF KPB ASSEMBLY, LEGISLATORS AND COUNCILS
No reports.
ITEM D: PUBLIC HEARINGS
D-1. Ordinance No. 2037-2004 -- Amending KMC 23.40.080 to Provide for a

MOTION:
\ KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING
APRIL 21, 2004
PAGE 3
Council Member Porter MOVED for approval of Ordinance No. 2037-2004 and Council
Member Moore SECONDED the motion.
Fred Mcvie -- Mcvie introduced himself as a supervisor employed by the City of Kenai
at the Waste Water Treatment Plant and thanked the council for adopting the
ordinance to participate in the opt -out program which would save the city $10,000-
$20,000 for each of the eligible employees of the city per year who participate in the
program. Mcvie stated he believed amending the ordinance to a five-year maximum
period of employment would be counterproductive. He noted, if the five-year
maximum is adopted, the employee will not be able to change his mind to stay longer
than the five years. Because the future is an unknown, many issues could come up
that would be a reason to postpone retirement. Additionally, there could be other
issues come up that would make it difficult for the city to lose the employee at the end
of the five-year period (shortage of qualified applicants, etc.) . Mcvie also noted, if he
chooses not to take the option, he could work another ten to fifteen years, which
would negate the concerns expressed that participation in the opt -out program stifles
upward mobility for other employees.
Mcvie noted he had already started the process, compiling information, planning,
doing calculations, and paperwork in order to participate in the opt -out program and
was surprised by council's decision to place a moratorium on the program. Mcvie also
noted concerns stated the program produces unequal pay for the participants from the
other employees. He stated, those who are eligible at this time to participate are
mostly supervisors and their pay is already higher than the other employees.
Council Member Moore stated the ordinance is far-reaching and when it was adopted,
he did not think he fully understood what was happening. He added, he would like to
include Finance Director Semmens in the discussion and because Semmens was
absent he offered a motion to table the ordinance until the May 5, 2004 meeting.
MOTION:
Council Member Moore MOVED to table the ordinance until the May 5, 2004 council
meeting and Council Member Porter SECONDED the motion.
Williams noted, he understood administration was not supporting the five-year
maximum period of re-employment.

in the Public Safety Building crashed the week prior. She noted she emailed all
council members, reporting an emergency existed to have repair work begin prior to
consideration of a resolution. She thanked council for their understanding. Police
Chief Kopp agreed the situation was critical; the 911 system continued to work; the
repair/ replacement work was accomplished though some problems were still be
worked out, however he believed the system would be working smoothly by the next
week.

the accountant's area. It is not practical to move to another area to discuss
confidential issues when the materials, information, files, etc. are in that area.
Ross noted, the new federal confidentiality rules require an area where confidentiality
can be obtained and he supported the project. Porter stated she was concerned the
approval was made in 2002 for one office and the time it has taken for the project to
be carried out. She stated she would support the project, but wanted a guarantee the
cost would not exceed $6,270.
Williams stated he was in full support of moving ahead with the project for both offices
as soon as possible.
VOTE:

purchase applicant, Bryan Lowe stated he was aware of the easements and was
satisfied the property would be large enough for his proposed use, i.e. a restaurant.
Lowe also noted he understood there was no access to water/ sewer unless he obtains
approval from the neighboring property owners. He stated, if that is not possible, he
intended to place a DEC -approved well and sewer system.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING
APRIL 21, 2004
PAGE 9
Williams noted an ordinance would need to be prepared stating the property was not
required for public purpose for council consideration. He requested the ordinance be
introduced for the May 5 meeting with public hearing set for May 19. He also
requested a report indicating the adjacent properties and their ownership be included
with the Illiamna Road lots listed as well. Bookey stated he wanted Lowe to be aware
of the problems that could arise with his project. Lowe stated he was aware.
Attorney Graves advised it would not be known if Lowe will be the purchaser at the
May 5 or 19 meeting because the property will need to go out to bid. If Lowe is the
purchaser, he will need a conditional use permit for the use of the property as well.
I-7. Discussion -- Set Schedule for City Manager, City Attorney and City
Clerk Annual Evaluations.
Council set evaluations for the City Attorney and City Clerk for May 5, 2004. The City
Manager's evaluation was set for May 19, 2004.
I-8. Discussion -- Possible Amendment and the Official Kenai Zoning Map by
Rezoning and Re -Platting Several Lots in the Lawton Acres Subdivision
from Conservation (C).
Council Member Swarner explained she requested this discussion be placed on the
agenda because of the recent denied request made to purchase a portion of property
known as the "Dust Bowl." She noted, there is a problem of availability of property on
that side of town for small businesses. She noted, the Lawton Acres area could
provide lots for small businesses, however that property is currently zoned
conservation.
Discussion followed regarding whether the process should begin to rezone a portion of
Lawton Acres to allow commercial development. Comments included:
• Porter suggested it was time to move forward to rezone the area from the
gully to the corner of Walker and Spur Highway to allow retail businesses to develop in
that area. The zoning to conservation took place in 1984 and a lot has changed since
then.
• Bookey referred to the historical information included in the packet
regarding the rezone to conservation and noted concerns that opening a small area
could be problematic with spot -zoning issues; the property would require platting;
prior use of some of the Lawton Acres property, could be problematic; there were many
good reasons why the rezone to conservation was done; and he believes there will still
be many who will not support a change.
• Moore stated he was willing to discuss the matter further because the
property is prime commercial property in Kenai.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING
APRIL 21 2004
PAGE 10
• Ross stated he was willing to forward the issue to the Planning 8s Zoning
Commission for review; suggested administration put together preliminary ideas of
how the property could be platted, as well as whether the property is deep enough to
place a frontage road or whether access would have to be off Lawton Drive.
• Swarner stated, if the property is rezoned, she would want it to be
developed within two to three years of purchase.
• Williams requested the frontage road information be prepared and added,
he was personally opposed to opening the property to commercial development
because of reasons stated when the property was original zoned conservation.
Nate Kiel, 404 Lawton Drive, Kenai -- Kiel stated he has mixed emotions about
development around the area where he lives. He and his wife put in a proposal to
purchase property across the highway from Lawton Acres and were unsuccessful. He
added, he believed development on that side of the road would have less impact on
residential areas, however he understood why council did not want to proceed with
that sale.
Kiel added, his frustration had been in finding commercial real estate on the east side
of town, i.e. either it is not available or not for sale. He stated, he felt the rezoning and
responsible development of a portion of Lawton Acres would be worth exploring.
The discussion continued, but without knowing where access would be, it was the
consensus of council to place the issue on the next agenda for preliminary discussion
after exploring depth of the properties, access suggestions, etc.
ITEM J: REPORT OF THE MAYOR -- Mayor Williams noted the following:
• He will travel to Washington, DC to attend the Police Memorial dedication
and meet with congressional delegation staff on several issues, i.e. pursuing a different
strategy for funding for the bluff restoration/protection project (reallocation of funds
from other grant projects; a 20-year bond, to be repaid by raising the cap on sales tax
to $1,000; funds available upon paying off the current bond which is scheduled for
October, etc.; because of new Corps representatives and the project design already
prepared by Petratrovich, Nottingham 8. Drage, encourage funds to come directly to
the City instead of through the Corps, etc.) Council had no ob . ections to Williams
discussing these ideas with congressional staff.
• Attended the "Real Heroes Breakfast" at which Richard and Mary
Warrington received the "Educator Award" for their work with the brain injury
awareness group.
• Will meet with Borough representatives relating to the Pebbles Mine
project.

K-1. City Manager -- City Manager Snow reported the following:
• She attended a meeting with Borough Mayor Bagley and other Peninsula

stated she was in favor of the changes. Cronkhite stated she would provide a rough
cost estimate and drawing. There were no obj ections from council to discuss the
matter.
Williams noted a comment from Assembly Member Superman relating to contracting
law enforcement with the City for the Nikiski area. Snow stated she and Chief Kopp
had already done some preliminary review. Chief Kopp stated a lot of thought had
gone into the issue already and the city would not do it unless it is in the city's
interest to do so. A formal discussion on the issue had not yet taken place.
Swarner stated she liked the statistical information included with some of the reports,
but would like comparisons from the prior year included.
Moore asked Library Director Jankowska for a report on the progress of the software
changeover at the library. Jankowska stated the changeover was progressing and
training would begin next week. Additionally, they would be transferring to the new
server and going live by June 6.

• Planning & Zoning Commission's public hearing on the adult -oriented
businesses was scheduled for April 28. The ordinance should be included on the next
council meeting agenda for introduction at the May 5 meeting.

processing.
Porter stated her concerns the pond along Marathon Road has had orange mesh left in
it from when blocks of ice were removed for use at the Peninsula Winter Games. She
noted she was very concerned about safety of those who swim in the pond. Williams
suggested a representative of the Peninsula Winter Games be called to attend to the
issue. Snow reported she investigated the issue the last time it had been brought up.
