He added, council recognized, during their last work session, that the advertisement would be in effect only two weeks before the deadline for applications to be submitted. He also asked council if they wanted to pay an additional $150 to the Alaska Municipal League for them to fax the advertisement to all their members.

Continued Operation of Liquor Licenses -- Protests The New Peking -- Restaurant/Eating Place Alaskalanes, Inc. -- Recreational Site License Council referred to a memorandum included in the packet which noted three businesses who were not in compliance when the memorandum was written; Alaskalanes, Inc., The New Peking Restaurant, and The Old Town Village Restaurant. Clerk Freas reported Alaskalanes had come current and the Borough expected the New Peking to come current by January 23, their next Assembly meeting. The memorandum also reported that because the Old Town Village Restaurant remained in bankruptcy, no action could be taken. A synopsis of amounts owed by Old Town Village was presented. It was noted a small amount of that owed was for sales taxes subsequent to the bankruptcy filing. MOTION: Councilwoman Swarner MOVED to direct the City Clerk to forward a letter protesting the New Peking continuation of license if the account is not brought current by January 30, 2001. Councilman Frazer SECONDED the motion. A long discussion followed in regard to the City's ability to protest the continued operation of the Old Town Village Restaurant since they were not in compliance according to the Code and whether council could protest amounts owed since the filing of the bankruptcy. Attorney Graves explained, under federal bankruptcy law the liquor license is an asset of the estate and could not be protested because it would be a violation of the automatic stay. He added, the Alcoholic Control Board understands those rules and would not be taking action either. MOTION TO AMEND: KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 17, 2001 PAGE 4 Councilwoman Porter MOVED to also call on January 30 and find if Old Town Village Restaurant is current and if not paid in a timely manner, file a letter of protest.

D-5. Parks & Recreation Commission -- Councilwoman Porter reported she attended the last meeting for Councilman Frazer. The Commission discussed Municipal Park and agreed improvements to the Park were needed, i.e. underbrush KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 17, 2001 PAGE 5 needed to be removed, the parking lot enlarged, etc. Porter explained the Commission was also looking for direction from council in regard to exploring the possibility of developing a skate/bike park. A lengthy discussion followed regarding the viability of a skate/bike park, what was envisioned, etc. It was noted, an effort should be made to include the teens in design of a park, however they were not looking for something fancy, but somewhere they could enjoy skateboarding/ biking without trespassing, etc. It was noted that if the ice rink were paved, that would be a possible place they could use. It was suggested costs for insurance be investigated, as well as whether the city would be liable for any injuries. Frazer added, the users were looking for an area where they could enjoy their sport year -around. He suggested an area outside the ice rink. Williams stated concern that use of the parking lot would take away parking spaces for the building required by Code. It was decided the Parks &Recreation Commission should investigate the possibility of developing askate/bike park. Porter noted the Commission also discussed replacement/ addition of winter street decorations, as well as placing some along the road in front of Carrs, Kmart, etc. D-6. Planning & Zoning Commission -- Councilman Bannock reported the Commission met on January 10 and reviewed the amended sign code which would be before the council for the first reading on February 7. Along with the ordinance, a synopsis of changes being made will be available. Discussion followed regarding placement of a reader board along the highway indicating the site of the Challenger Center and ice rink, and whether a sign would be allowed in that area. It was noted the area is a rural residential zone and a conditional use permit was received in order for the Challenger and ice rink to be built at those sites. Bannock reported the new sign code would force the city into acquiring a variance like other citizens for a sign in that area. D-7. Miscellaneous Commissions and Committees D-7a. Beautification Committee -- Swarner reported the unapproved minutes of the January 9 meeting were included in the packet. Parks & Recreation Director Frates noted the Committee's goals and objectives were discussed during the meeting. He also reported the flower boxes were being refurbished. Discussion followed regarding placement of additional concrete rings to be used as flower gardens and it was noted the State is to provide approximately nine of them and they would probably not be placed until the end of the summer after their road project is completed. D-7b. Kenai Convention & Visitors Bureau Board -- Bookey reported the next meeting was scheduled for January 25 with a work session after the meeting.

Discussion -- Airport Terminal Flooring Replacement Matt Vogel, Rim Architects -- Vogel discussed the process of design and choosing the types of flooring for the airport terminal by the carpet committee, i.e. choices were KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 17, 2001 PAGE 7 made in relation to the traffic patterns in the terminal building. He noted levels of grating and grating with carpet were chosen for the doorways, vestibules, and walk -off areas. A non -slip, OSHA -approved tile was chosen for in front of the check -in counters, and the carpet was chosen for the color and durability. He added, the carpet would be placed in large square mats in order for easy replacement if an area is stained or had cigarette burns, etc. It was also noted the basic bid would replace the flooring in the main terminal and two alternates would replace the flooring in other areas of the terminal. The total estimated cost of $192,000 included the carpet/flooring in the main terminal area, new ADA-approved designed -for -airports seating, and the two alternates. Vogel pointed out the alternates were separated out in order to control costs and give some flexibility on the budget. MOTION: Councilwoman Swarner MOVED to approve the design and cost estimate and have administration proceed with the bid process for the total package that is outlined, construction estimate to include Additive Alternates 1 and 2 as in the basic bid. Councilman Frazer SECONDED the motion. Councilman Bannock objected to unanimous consent, explaining he believed the cost too high. Bookey stated he was surprised by the estimated cost, but because the airport is the first thing visitors see, he would support the project but wanted it completed before the summer. Airport Manager Cronkhite reported the basic specifications had already been prepared in order to get the information advertised as soon as possible. She added, at the time the bids are returned, an appropriation would be needed from the fund balance and would be handled as a capital project. VOTE: Swarner: Yes Moore: Yes Porter: Yes Bannock: No Frazer: Yes Williams: Yes Booke Yes :::J MOTION PASSED. H-4. Discussion -- Appointments to Personnel Arbitration Board Williams referred council to a memorandum included in the packet, along with applications for three city residents who applied for placement on the Board; Hal Smalley, Alan Poynor, and Phil Reemtsma. It was noted there were five seats available on the Board. A question whether a husband and wife could be on the same Board was asked and Attorney Graves explained the Code did not preclude that possibility. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 17, 2001 PAGE 8 A brief explanation of how members to a panel are selected was made and it was noted, it was doubtful two members of the same family would end up on the same arbitration panel. There were no objections to the appointment of the three applicants to the Personnel Arbitration Board. H-5. Discussion -- Airport Terminal Special Use Permit Proposals Airport Manager Cronkhite explained the two proposals included in the packet, would fit into the airport terminal. The internet terminals would not require space in the glassed -in area (Lease Space 21) recently vacated by the travel agency. The terminals would be placed at different areas of the terminal. Cronkhite also noted Mayor Williams requested she discuss the use of Space 21 with the Kenai Chamber of Commerce in regard to their using the area to display local vendor goods and information. Cronkhite reported she discussed the matter with the Chamber and they are interested in using the space, perhaps in a cooperative effort with the Economic Development District, but not on a year -around basis and at no cost. She added, this would work well with the proposal submitted by Virginia Kanas, who is interested in a six-month use of the space. Cronkhite reported, none of the three proposed uses were in conflict with each other. Swarner referred to the memorandum included in the packet from Cronkhite which reported the Airport Commission recommended council approve both of the following proposals. H-5a. Lease Space 21/Virgiaia 8s James Kanas/Sporting Goods/Seasonal MOTION: Councilwoman Swarner MOVED the city have city administration prepare a Special Use Permit with Virginia 8v James Kanas, d/b/a K-Beach Kabins, following their proposal as presented to the council. Councilman Frazer SECONDED the motion. Virginia Kanas -- Reviewed her proposal, noting she would use the space for sporting goods and items of immediate need to the sportsman and air traveler, i.e. fishing/ hunting licenses, maps of the Kenai River, fish boxes, fishing supplies, t- shirts, ball caps, magazines, books, novelties, cameras, batteries, etc. As the owner of a cabin rental business, she also proposed to sell stays at her business, as well as hunting/fishing packages. Kanas also noted she proposed asix-month rental of the space, but would be open to discussing amulti-year rental if she experienced a successful season and would like to book nightly rentals for their cabin business. Bookey stated his concern they would KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 17 2001 PAGE 9 be advertising their cabin rental business and he felt the space should go to bid as he felt the area was worth more than the $247 a month rate. He added, he would not support the special use permit. Discussion followed regarding advertising rights for the airport and Cronkhite noted the Kanas' were aware of the advertising restrictions. Fraser asked if there had been other inquiries for the space and Cronkhite stated there had been many inquiries, but most of them were for selling coffee. She explained, because there is an exclusive use in the cafe's lease, the coffee proposals could not be considered. She noted the Airport Commission discussed the matter and felt it was a good opportunity to get a gift shop in the terminal. They also discussed the possibility of putting both the cafe lease and gift shop lease out to bid at the same time when the appropriate time arises. Cronkhite noted that if other interest comes up during the next six months, future rental of the space would have to a competitive bid process. It was noted that Kanas would be calling the gift shop something other than K-Beach Kabins and Swarner requested that business name be eliminated from her motion as well as any other paperwork. Bannock stated his appreciation for the proposal and stated he would support it for its entrepreneurial spirit, however had concerns about a six-month special use permit during the busy summer season. He noted he believed it the city administration and airport manager's responsibility to market the airport. VOTE: Swarner: Yes Moore: Yes Porter: Yes Bannock: Yes Frazer: Yes Williams: Yes Booke No MOTION PASSED. A brief discussion followed regarding retail sales possibilities at the airport and FAA funding for remodeling the airport. Cronkhite explained, the FAA usually looks at what areas are used and not used prior to offering funding. She suggested the city could request proposals to see if there is interest in placing retail businesses in the terminal, remodel some of the unused areas to house retail businesses and if that is successful, then request funding from the FAA. Williams suggested the city contact industrial businesses in the area to inform them of space available in the terminal for displays. He added, he was suggesting an addition be made to the building to enhance retail sales. Bookey noted the city had problems for many years finding sustainable businesses for l the terminal building and believed the downtown area businesses needed to be � enhanced prior to adding to the terminal. Bannock stated the council has the ability KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 17, 2001 PAGE 10 to change the parameters of leases, etc., i.e. exclusive uses, etc., however, they were not doing it and were not listening to what the public wants available in the terminal, i.e. a coffee vendor. H-5b. Currency 8s Credit Card Operated Internet Terminal Placements/Dan Apted, CustomCPU/Various Areas Dan Apted -- Apted referred to the information included in the packet; placing three to a maximum of nine internet terminals in the airport terminal. Cronkhite explained, the proposal is to place computer terminals in the airport waiting area. Apted stated, he had permission from the cafe lessee to place some in the cafe as well. Porter stated her objection to placing terminals in the window areas and passengers' sitting/waiting area. She added, she believed there were other areas that would be more appropriate. Apted explained he outlined the areas where the terminals would be most successful for his business and where it would be more likely the terminals would be used. He added, he would be willing to work with the airport manager as to where they would be placed. Swarner asked if the placement of the new carpet would interfere with his business and Apted answered it would, however he understood he may have to move his kiosks to other areas during the re -carpeting project. It was noted the decision of where to place the terminals would be made by the airport manager. Apted stated he believed the terminals would be most successful during the summer period and wanted to place them and get any problems solved prior to the summer rush. Bookey stated he felt the use should go to bid and added, he believed suggested placement areas 1, 2 and 3 were unacceptable for his use. Bannock stated he believed the placement of the terminals was a great idea but was also concerned with the suggested areas of placement. Cronkhite stated she wanted the terminals placed where they would be most beneficial and added that with the terminals would come a security system installed for the computer terminals but would also be very beneficial to the airport at no cost. She added, she would be making every effort to place the cameras for the security system in a high -traffic area, but didn't intend to block windows, etc. Cronkhite offered to pick some areas for council's review. MOTION: Councilwoman Swarner MOVED for CustomCPU to be allowed, for one year, to place computer terminals as preliminarily outlined in his proposal at the Kenai Airport Terminal. Councilman Frazer SECONDED the motion. VOTE: KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 17, 2001 PAGE 11 Swarner: Yes Moore: Yes Porter: No Bannock: Yes Frazer: Yes Williams: Yes Booke No MOTION PASSED. H-6. Discussion -- Kenai River Bridge Access Road Pathway Williams reported a public hearing had been held in regard to the Kenai River Bridge Access Road Pathway on January 16. He noted the public hearing had been very well attended and the consensus of those attending was to bring the pathway off the Kalifornsky Beach Road and stay on the east side to Birch Island. It was determined to cross the pathway to the west side at that point, utilizing the suspension bridge that will be placed under the highway bridge to cross over to the west side of the highway. The pathway would then continue down the left side of the highway and tie into the bridge system, then angle off and connect to Boat Launch Road, removing the path from along the highway and incorporating the Harbor Commission's idea of wildlife observation areas, etc. Williams noted, bringing the pathway in that direction would keep it mostly on city -owned land and only create the need to acquire right-of- ways across a minimal amount of private property. Also, staying on the west side would allow an easy transition of the pathway into the Coastal Trail. Williams referred to a draft letter to the Department of Transportation (DOT) included in the handout requesting the rerouting and reengineering of the trail as he described. Public Works Manager Kornelis reviewed the information in the handout as well as the draft letter to DOT requesting the rerouting with council. Williams noted the Birch Island project is a Department of Natural Resources (DNR) project and requested there be a cooperative effort by DOT and DNR in regard to both the pathway and Birch Island projects to lessen the chance of a duplication of efforts. Council reviewed the draft letter and requested some minor changes to it. Council consensus was to send the letter. ITEM I: ADMINISTRATION REPORTS Mayor -- Mayor Williams reported the following: • Discussed the Kenai Coastal Trail with Paul Fuhs. Kornelis will meet with Fuhs at the end of the week along with representatives of state and federal agencies. There will be a change to the name of the project to Kenai Coastal Trail and Rehabilitation Project (removing bluff erosion control) in order to better match the prerequisites of funding sources. Williams also reported Petratrovich, Nottingham 8v Drage (PND) will have their report ready for taking to Washington, DC in March. Fuhs wants to accompany Williams and others from the city. Williams reviewed funding available through the Conservation and Reconstruction Act (CARA), noting there could KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 17, 2001 PAGE 12 be funding available through the Coastal Conservation and Impact Assistance Program from the CARA funds. Williams added, he invited Fuhs to speak to council at their February 3 meeting. • Noted he planned to attend the NLC Conference in Washington, DC and leave on March 8. He explained he had been asked to be a speaker at a Coastal Communities International Forum in Victoria, British Columbia, on March 16, 17 and 18 which would be on his return to Alaska from the NLC Conference. • He will be attending the Alaska Conference of Mayors/AML Legislative Committee meetings in Juneau from January 30-February 2. I-2. City Manager -- Acting City Manager Semmens reported the State of Alaska was proceeding with a formal mediation of the state and other governmental bond issues claimed against the Bank of America. The city had been asked to sign an agreement with the state that could possibly obligate it to pay monies if a bond was presented to the city that had been issued in the 70's. He noted, he felt the risk was low that a bond would be presented, however he was working with other finance directors and the state to determine the risk was low and if the city should proceed and sign the agreement. He asked for council's direction if they felt he should not sign the agreement. There were no objections to his signing the agreement. I-3. Attorney -- No report. I-4. City Clerk -- No report. I-5. Finance Director -- No report. I-6. Public Works Managers Kornelis: Gave an update on the junk vehicle program, noting he met with representatives of the Mat -Su Borough and discussed the program they implemented last year. Kornelis reported their three-day, $15,000 operation included removal of vehicles as well as refrigerators and scrap metal. Costs covered advertising, rental of a crusher, towing, draining and disposal of vehicle and refrigerator fluids. They also received help from the Army National Guard as well as a lot of volunteers. Kornelis stated he got copies of forms used by the Mat -Su Borough and he has discussed the possibility of a cooperative effort with the Kenai Peninsula Borough, who stated their interest in getting a program operational for the summer. A brief discussion followed where it was asked what the ramifications would be if the vehicles, etc. were collected and taken to the Borough dumps for disposal, making the borough responsibility for the disposition. It was noted the vehicles would still have to be emptied of fluids, etc. and a disposal rate would be charged. La Shot -- No report. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 17, 2001 PAGE 13 I-7, Airport Manager -- No report. ITEM J: DISCUSSION J-1. Citizens -- No comments. J-2, Council Frazer -- No comments. Bannock -- No comments. Porter -- Reported she received comments from a citizen concerned with the city's plan to swap the property now used for Pop Warner football games.

Moore -- Asked Parks Director Frates if the tarp had been placed at the ice rink and Frates answered it had been received and he was working with volunteers to install it. Swarner -- Reminded council that when they are interviewing for a new city manager, the applicants will need to be reminded they will need to live in the city according to the City Charter. Swarner also noted she was considering attending the NLC Conference as well. Bookey -- No comments.
