KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 7, 2002 PAGE 3 VOTE: Bannock Yes Jackman Yes Williams Yes Bookey Yes Swarner Yes Moore Yes Porter Yes MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. C-2.

MOTION: Councilwoman Porter MOVED for approval of Resolution No. 2002-54 and Councilman Moore SECONDED the motion. There were no public comments.

MOTION: Councilwoman Swarner MOVED for approval of Resolution No. 2002-55 and Councilwoman Porter SECONDED the motion. There were no public comments. Discussion followed and comments were noted as follows: • The silver AARF helmets are not suited for firefighting use. • The same lawn mower was listed by the Parks 8, Recreation Department and the Shop. One will be removed from the list. • A note was included in the new city newsletter about the number of bicycles in storage and to contact the Police Department if someone had one lost or stolen to try to recover it prior to the auction. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 7 2002 PAGE 4 • When asked if the bicycles could be given to children, it was noted very few of the bicycles listed were of great value or in very good shape and it would be difficult to give them away. • Instead of auctioning firearms forfeited through arrests, etc., the Police Department is contacting out-of-state (rearm dealers who work with law enforcement to discard firearms which cannot be returned to the public depending on the circumstances of the case. The firearms can be traded with the dealer to acquire newer models of firearms for the Department. The dealers are reputable, all the firearms are documented and it is a safe way to handle the process. • The fuel tank (listed under Shop) was removed from the new generator truck and another tank was placed on that truck (the tank that came with the truck made the generator sit too high on the truck). This tank is not needed. • The Shop will review the list of small hand tools to see if they could be added to their collection for use. Those they can use will be removed from the list. • Efforts are made between departments to inform other departments of items that department may no longer need prior to the item being placed on the list and brought to council for discussion. • The auction will be held on September 14 and Williams requested to be made aware of who the auctioneer will be when one is hired.

MOTION: Councilwoman Swarner MOVED for approval of Resolution No. 2002-56 and requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. Councilwoman Porter SECONDED the motion. There were no public comments. La Shot reported, currently Wellhouse No. 4 was found to have a good quantity of water but there are some characteristics of quality with which they were not happy. They will try to take water from different elevations of the well to see if they can get better water. La Shot added, he did not think arsenic was not one of the problems. Williams noted, he understood there were more dissolved solids than what they wanted and they were going to try to mix the two waters together to see if that would make a better quality water. It was not known whether that will work. VOTE: KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 7 2002 PAGE 5 There were no objections. SO ORDERED. ITEM D: COMMISSION / COMMITTEE REPORTS D-1. Council on Aging -- Swarner reported a meeting was held on August 1 and the membership, along with members of the Senior Connection, further discussed the feasibility of developing an assisted living facility in Kenai. It was noted, the Senior Connection has agreed to act as the sponsoring group to apply for pre - development funding. Due to the resignation of one of its members, council reviewed applications for placement which were included in the packet. Williams offered the appointment of Gina Kuntzman and there were no obj ections from council. D-2. Airport Commission -- Jackman noted the minutes from the July 11 meeting were included in the packet. She added, the Commission discussed rates and fees; it was reported the Air Fair was well attended; and a ribbon -cutting would be held at the new Airport operations facility on Friday, August 9. Porter noted the activity report for the Float Plane Basin which was included in the packet and requested the report also include activity for the prior year. Airport Manager Cronkhite reported the slip rental on the basin was about the same as last year. Williams suggested sending a copy of the enplanement figures to the local carrier noting council felt the numbers had fallen because of the airfare costs to fly to Anchorage and return. He added, he thought it should continually be noted the fares are very high and people are choosing to drive to Anchorage instead of flying due to the cost. Bannock stated he believed council should not get involved in that discussion because if there was abuse by the carrier, there would be competitors. Cronkhite noted, the Commission had been discussing hiring of a consultant to do a study that would include rates. She added, she hoped to bring that information to the next council meeting and send it to other carriers as well. Williams noted he believed, as a citizen and council member, it was his duty to look out for the best interest of the community. He added, he would write a personal letter instead and withdrew his request for administration to send the letter. D-3. Harbor Commission -- Bookey stated the next meeting would be held at 7:00 p.m., Monday, August 12. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 7, 2002 PAGE 6 DA, Library Commission -- Moore reported the regular meeting was scheduled for August 6, however due to a lack of quorum, the meeting was cancelled. He added, Marilyn Johnson and Ralph Van Dusseldorp were guests who also attended to offer their help in grant writing efforts. D-5. Parks & Recreation Commission -- Porter reported, because she was out of town, she did not attend the meeting, however Parks & Recreation Director Frates supplied her with a report. She noted, the meeting was lengthy; there was a presentation and discussion about the Arctic Winter Games; discussion of possible permanent sites for the skateboard park, and discussion with suggested fee changes in the Department. Frates added, he was working with a landscape architect for Municipal Park and he hoped to have a plan to review in the next two weeks. Porter also noted, she had discussed further the undercutting of trees, etc. in Municipal Park (previously discussed with council) with representatives of the Rotary Club and they were looking forward to helping. She added, Rotary members will meet with Frates in the near future in this regard. Williams asked Fire Chief Walden for an update regarding the Fire Wise Program. Walden reported he received an email, which he forwarded to the City Manager and City Attorney for review, which would allow work on the easements throughout town. Williams asked if he was able to discuss work on the highway easement by the Challenger Center. Walden stated no, but it was probably a state right-of-way. Williams requested administration, in their discussions with Fire Wise, if they felt comfortable in asking, to have the right-of-way in front of the Challenger Center cleared of trees. He noted, the state had no obj ection to having it cleaned out. Swarner noted there were logs left from cleaning out dead trees by the hockey rink and asked if they were available for anyone to take. Walden explained, the Fire Department cut the trees in a cooperative effort with Parks & Recreation and Public Works and it was his understanding Parks had made arrangements for a private individual to collect the logs. It was also noted, Sam Steiner resigned from the Commission as he would be leaving for college in the fall. Porter suggested waiting for appointment until after the school year starts. D-6. Planning & Zoning Commission -- Bannock noted the minutes of the July 10, 2002 meeting were included in the packet and reviewed actions taken by the Commission, i.e. changes to the Recreation Zone, two matters coming forward to the Board of Adjustment; Richards re -subdivision (the neighbors compromised); and the GLM re -plat was approved.

Beautification Committee -- Swarner reported the next meeting would be held on August 13, 2002. Williams requested a thank you letter be sent to the Fireweed Herb Garden for donating plants in the two planter rings at the Forest Drive intersection. Porter suggested a listing of volunteers who helped with the caring for flower beds, gardens, weeding, planting, etc. be included in the next city newsletter. D-7b. Kenai Convention & Visitors Bureau Board -- Bookey reported a meeting had been scheduled within the next two weeks. D-7c. Alaska Municipal League Report -- Swarner reported she attended the recent AML Committee meeting in Bethel and participated in the revenue and finance section who strongly recommended a long-range fiscal plan to the state and suggested the AML Policy Statement be shortened and more efficient. She added, the draft policy statement would be forwarded to the Board of Directors and the Alaska Conference of Mayors for review. Swarner also reported she would be meeting with representatives of PRISM regarding the additional wording for fire training to be added to the policy statement. Williams also noted, the 2002 AML Conference will be held in Valdez and the AML/JIA board had seats available and he urged council members to consider running for the board.

Ordinance No. 1963-2002 -- Amending KMC 12.20.030 to Prohibit the Storage of Slash for More Than Thirty (30) Days on Property Within the City of Kenai. Introduced by consent agenda. H-4. Ordinance No. 1964-2002 -- Amending the Definition of "Mobile Food Vending Unit" in KM 5.25.010 to Exempt Units Operating Less Than Thirty (30) Days Per Year from Getting a Mobile Food Vendors Permit. Introduced by consent agenda. H-5. Discussion -- Airport Advertising A lengthy discussion took place in regard to advertising in the Milepost Magazine. Williams explained he requested the item be included on the agenda for discussion as it was his understanding council had directed an advertisement for the airport and community was to be included in the magazine yearly. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 7 2002 PAGE 9 Councilwoman Jackman explained, when the Airport Commission discussed the budget and what they felt would be the best use of advertising budget funds for marketing the airport to users of the airport (corporate jets, aviators, hangars, etc.) . From their discussion, they believed advertising in aviation -specific media would be the best use of the funds. She added, the Milepost, it was felt, is specific to motorists, even though the current ad speaks of the community as well. Williams suggested, using the Airport Funds for the advertisement in the Milepost would both advertise the airport and the community, and cost for the ad would not be taken from the General Fund. Swarner suggested the Milepost advertising should be included in the budget as a line item and funding for that advertisement should not be taken from the other advertising the Commission and administration wanted to do. Marion Nelson, Milepost Magazine Advertising Sales -- Nelson stated she believed the advertisement spoke to those who fly into the area and drive around the area as well. She added, she believed the main reason to include an advertisement for the airport in the Milepost was because it is one of the "crown jewels" of Kenai and felt it should be promoted. Bookey stated he believed the funds for the ad should come from the General Fund as the Milepost is for vehicular use and the current ad really did not pertain to the airport. It was noted by City Attorney Graves, if airport funding is used, the funding has to go toward promoting the airport and the FAA can take away AIP funding if it is not used in an appropriate manner. He added, a general business advertisement in the magazine could be a problem. It was also noted, the cost of the current ad is $3,000 but because the deadline had already passed for submitting the ad, the cost for next year's edition could be more. MOTION: Councilman Bannock MOVED for administration to bring back an appropriation request of $3,000 from the unappropriated airport balance to airport advertising as a line item. Councilwoman Porter SECONDED the motion. Porter suggested if additional funding is needed, a transfer within the airport budget could be made. Bookey stated he believed if an ad was going to be purchased, it should be advertising the whole city and suggested getting the back page. He added, he didn't feel the current ad was a major benefit to be paid from the airport fund and suggested the cost should come from the Legislative budget. Porter stated, because of the short order time, she felt it would be better to argue what should be included in the ad during the next budget season and added, she would not support the General Fund paying for the ad. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 7, 2002 PAGE 10 Jackman stated her agreement with Bookey and added, she wanted to see something directly related to the city and not pay for it from airport funds. Swarner stated she would not support the inclusion of the ad unless the ad is changed. Williams stated he believed the discussion should be continued during the next budget season. He added, he believed the city should be promoted. VOTE: Bannock Yes Jackman No Williams Yes Bookey No Swarner Yes Moore Yes Porter Yes MOTION PASSED, H-6. Discussion -- Schedule Board of Adjustment Hearing/Appeal of Planning 8v Zoning Commission Denial of PZ02-39 -- An application for a variance from the Development Requirements for a five-foot front setback variance and variance from lot coverage for the property described as Lot 1, Block 6, Redoubt Terrace Subdivision Addition 3 (406 South Forest Drive), Kenai, Alaska.

It was noted, a request from the appellee was added to the agenda at the beginning of the meeting. The appellee requested the hearing be held after August 18 as he would be out of town until then. MOTION: Councilman Bannock MOVED to set the hearing for August 21 at 7:00 p.m. and Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED, H-7.

Bannock noted, based on the number of people testifying on both the previous appeal and this one, he did not believe they would take more than 45 minutes to complete. MOTION: KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 7, 2002 PAGE 11 Councilman Bannock MOVED to schedule the Board of Adjustment hearing on PZ02- 37 for August 21, immediately following the prior Board of Adjustment hearing. Councilwoman Jackman SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED, H-8. Discussion -- Update of City Logo Councilwoman Porter reviewed the process taken in regard to the two logo designs included in the packet. There was little support of the two designs as most of the council stated their like of the current logo, but it was suggested the current logo might be updated. ITEM I: REPORT OF THE MAYOR -- Mayor Williams reported the following: • Industry Days Picnic is scheduled for August 24. There will be many politicians attending due to the upcoming primary election. And, the annual chili cook -off would be held. • Mayor's Golf Tournament is scheduled for September 14 at the Kenai Golf Course.

Snow will discuss the matter further with them. J-2. Attorney -- No report. Bannock requested, due to the number of appeals made to the Board of Adjustment in the past several weeks, a handout of instructions be developed for anyone considering making an appeal so there is less confusion of what to do.

Williams suggested Graves also review the administrative appeals memorandum and shorten it as much as possible. J-3.
