F:TOA- o
Arbelovsky reported she met with several of the council members in regard to the
agenda for the Forum and had also developed a press release. Copies of the
information had been distributed to council prior to the beginning of the work session.
She noted there were some grammatical and spelling errors that would be corrected.
Because there were some problems in obtaining speakers for the transportation
portion of the day, it was suggested the land use portion be split, hearing a portion of
it in the morning and the remaining portion in the afternoon. Transportation could be
a separate meeting/work session altogether later in February if necessary. Arbelovsky
reported she had discussed the event with a representative from ERA/Alaska Airlines,
however found he would not be available on February 3. He was very interested in
speaking with council and it was suggested he may be able to come to Kenai later in
February. Arbelovsky stated that if Carolyn Ottosen of United Parcel Service is able to
attend the event, she wanted to work her into the program. There were no objections.
Porter suggested having another retailer (perhaps the owner of Three Bears) to speak
in regard to retail under land use and have that portion be heard in the afternoon.
Arbelovsky suggested moving that portion to the afternoon, but after tourism as she
believed the tourism portion should follow the keynote speaker.
Williams suggested a representative of the Veterans Association speak under medical
services. He will contact Arbelovsky with a name.
Council had no objections to the changes and approved the agenda with the changes
made.
LUNCH MENU
It was suggested a more substantial lunch menu be requested. A sit-down lunch was
requested so there would be less commotion during the keynote speaker's remarks.
