KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DUNE 17, 1998 PAGE 2 MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED for approval of the consent agenda as presented and Councilman Moore SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. ITEM B: SCHEDULED PUBLIC COMMENT B-1. Jason Elson - Alaska Fire Chiefs Association Elson stated he was representing the Alaska Fire Chiefs Association. Elson explained the Governor signed HB 473 on June 16. HB 473 establishes an Alaska Fire Standards Council and gives regulatory authority to a fire service to develop minimum and professional fire standards for fire training throughout Alaska. He noted, the Kenai Fire Department has always met the highest national standards available, and now many small departments in Alaska can do the same. Elson explained, the development and passage of HB 473 was done quickly and much because of Mayor Williams championing their cause. He thanked Williams for his assistance to the Fire Chiefs Association with this very important legislation slation and presented him with a Alaska Fire Chiefs monogrammed Jacket. Williams thanked Elson and noted, the development and ultimate passage of the bill was largely due to the team effort of the Fire Chiefs Association and area legislators. He added, each time there were hearings in regard to the bill, members of the Association were involved and giving testimony in person or by teleconference calls. ITEM C: PUBLIC HEARINGS C-1. Ordinance No. 1785-98 - Finding That Certain City -Owned Land Described as Lots 1-6, Block 1 and Lots 1-7, Block 2, Five Irons Heights Subdivision, is Not Required for a Public Purpose and Can Be Sold, and That Land and Water Conservation Restrictions Be Converted to Substitute Land. MOTION: Councilman Moore MOVED for approval of Ordinance No. 1785-98 and Councilman Measles SECONDED the motion. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DUNE 17, 1998 PAGE 3 There were no public comments. Williams explained the ordinance spoke to 13 city - owned lots along the golf course. He noted, if all proceeds as scheduled, the lots would be up for sale by the end of July. City Manager Ross added, the purpose of the ordinance is to find the lots not needed for public purpose and to meet the criteria in regard to conversion of the Land and Water Restrictions to substitute land, i.e. taking lands designated recreation, selling them and using the proceeds for recreation. This agreement has to be signed off by both the state and federal government. Ross also noted, the lots would be sold like those of Inlet Woods, i.e. appraised first, minimum bid set at appraised value, and sealed bids accepted. Those lots not sold will be available for negotiated sale and made available for realtors. There were no questions or comments from council. VOTE: Bookey: Yes Swarner: Yes Moore: Yes Measles: Yes Bannock: Yes Smalley: Yes Williams: Yes MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY, C-2. Ordinance No. 1786-98 - Appropriating $60,000 for Design Services for the Challenger Learning Center of Alaska in the Challenger Capital Project Fund. MOTION: Councilman Bannock MOVED for adoption of Ordinance No. 1986-98 and Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion. Bill Kluge —Requested council to withhold appropriating the funds at this time as he wanted to make some facts public and share with council, adding most (of council) had documentation that supports the facts. Kluge explained, there were four firms (who submitted proposals for the development of the facility) short-listed to interview for the work. The proposals submitted were evaluated based on qualifications and experience and then scored. The firm recommended to perform the work scored identically to his firm. The request for interview after the original proposals were submitted, actually stating what was to be submitted in the way of a fee. Kluge continued, his firm responded explicitly to what was requested. However, their was some confusion in the design process in that he was informed by two board members and two construction committee members that he had not responded fully KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JUNE 17 199 8 PAGE 4 r to what was requested. Kluge added, he read the request for fee in the manner he presented as did four other firms, i.e. half of the firms submitting, read the request for fee the same. Kluge noted, if the fees were compared fee -to -fee, his firms' fee was $66,789 less than the recommended firm. Kluge continued, the project is not a fast -track project and he felt in the interest of fairness to the proposers, the project, and the taxpayers, everyone should step back and consider what is fair, what is appropriate, and what is the best for the project. Councilman Moore noted the ordinance was not to award the project to a specific firm, but to appropriate funds. Kluge stated he understood that and felt this was his only recourse to stop the award of the project because he had not had the opportunity to address the information to the Challenger Board. He added, a recommendation has been made to their Board and was adopted to award the project to Architects Alaska/ Klauder 8. Associates. Kluge continued, he wanted to present the facts and in light of the funding of the project, $66,000 would help in making the project a reality. Bill Popp - Challenger Project Coordinator. Popp requested members of the Challenger organization and members of the selected architectural team stand for recognition. Popp described the selection process for the architectural firm and stated, it was a clean process and everyone was very happy with the process. He noted the qualifications of those who put the process together were very high -rated. Popp noted, a joint construction committee was formed in November, 1997 at the behest of the city council and the Challenger Board of Directors. The committee's j ob was to help with the design and construction facility. First, to identify an architect to design the facility and designed an RFP. They included as much information as they could in order for those submitting proposals to know as much as possible of what was being requested and what they intended to design. Popp continued, the team was made up of Jack La Shot and Bob Springer from the City of Kenai; Mike Tarr, Director of local FAA office; Jeff Warton, Bid Specialist from Spenard Builders Supply; Rob Robson, Capital Projects Director at KPB; Phil Biggs, Technology Director, KPBSD; and Laura Perry, Communications and consultant for PTI Communications. Popp continued, with this team's expertise they were able to develop an RFP and advise on the design of the facility for the best possible facility at the best possible price. The RFP was designed in four months and was extensively researched. He noted, there have been comments from architects stating the RFP provided a lot of information not normally included in RFP's. Popp added, the RFP was advertised in April and was available for one month. At the end of the process, there were seven KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JUNE 17, 1998 PAGE 5 firms responding. The RFP was developed to identify qualified teams (not looking for a design at this time). The RFP was also designed to whittle the seven teams to a short list of three teams. However, in the scoring process (based on a series of criteria and independently scored by six members of the construction team), four firms were short-listed because the three and four team were tied. Popp noted, GDM, Inc. was the leader, Kim & Associates was second, Architects Alaska/Klauder & Company and Kluge & Associates were tied for third/fourth places. In this dilemma, they decided to go forward with a short-list of four teams. The short- list teams then gave (a week later) 45 minute presentations before the scoring members of the construction committee. They were allowed 30 minutes in which to state their strongest attributes in their organization, what they envisioned as to concept, etc., how things would progress, etc. After that, there was a 15 minute question and answer session. Popp added, there was a wide variety of presentations made from talking and answering questions to past work, organizational structure and power -point presentation (slides, techniques, video tape) . After that, the construction committee met and discussed their initial impressions of the presentations and then a vote was taken. The choice was an immediate and unanimous decision in favor of Architects Alaska/ Klauder & Company and based on the fact this was the best possible architectural team to design the facility as they wanted it to be designed and as cost- effective, showing what the Board wants the facility to be. After this recommendation was made, a written recommendation was prepared and forwarded to the Challenger Board of Directors who voted on the recommendation. The Board discussed the issue for approximately two hours and then voted unanimously, by roll call vote, with two-thirds of the board present, for Architects Alaska/ Klauder & Company. Councilwoman Swarner asked if all the Board of Directors were present during the vote. Popp answered no, two-thirds of the Board were present and was a unanimous vote of the two-thirds present. Swarner asked if the Board's meetings are open to the public. Popp answered, in this instance the Board chose to go into executive session to discuss financial issues relating to the finances of the corporation. Prior to the vote, they exited out of executive session and offered an opportunity for anyone to speak to the issue. Swarner asked if the meeting was open for public comment prior to going into executive session. Popp answered, it was open to the public prior to executive session and vote taken to go into executive session. Moore stated he was not sure why Popp was defending their process in review of the ordinance. Popp stated, his intentions were strictly informational as a question was KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JUNE 17, 1998 PAGE 6 raised as to their process and he wanted to explain what the process was. Moore stated he had some concerns as to the entire project and where it was headed. City Manager Ross reviewed the proj ect's progress. He stated, the city found out through the national Challenger organization they are the owner of the modules if the local Challenger program ceases operation. The City also found out, through NASA, this is a grant for construction of the facility, the ownership of which is contingent upon the continued operation as a Challenger facility. When it is not operating as a Challenger facility, NASA determines whether or not or to whom the structure goes as it would have been built from grant funds. The City of Kenai has asked for the same protection, i.e. would it be acceptable to NASA if the land being used for the facility is out on a long-term lease contingent upon the project operating as a Challenger facility. If it no longer operates as a Challenger facility, the national Challenger organization has claim on equipment, modules, etc., NASA has claim on structure, and the City of Kenai protects its land interest through the lease. agreement clauses. This was agreed to by Challenger and NASA. NASA has stated other past agreements (Memorandum of Agreement, etc.) need to be redone and Ross agreed they do, based on the new information regarding ownership. Ross added, many of the issues can be addressed in a lease agreement. Ross noted, the ordinance before council was to enable the city, if funds are received, to appropriate those funds. The special conditions of the Challenger grant, being awarded by NASA, just came available to the city. Under the special conditions, it is not clear the city will be doing all the construction administration. The special conditions state NASA has reserved much of those responsibilities for themselves (project approvals, etc.) . Ross added, a teleconference with NASA to discuss those issues had been scheduled for Tuesday. However, he, the city attorney, finance director and auditor met and discussed the city's situation during a long meeting already because in the special conditions there is no mention of the city in the financial loop or in the construction administration loop and leaves those responsibilities with the national technical advisor. Ross continued, at this point the city did not know to what extent it would be involved. The ordinance enables the city to appropriate the funds if they should come through and there would not be another month's delay. The enactment of the ordinance (taking the responsibility) and appropriation of the funds is contingent upon Challenger giving the city the funds and NASA working out how the arrangement with the city will be (in the special conditions, as they are now, the relationship is strictly NASA/Challenger). KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JUNE 17 1998 PAGE 7 Moore asked, if it is in question whether or not the city will have construction administration responsibilities, how can the funds be appropriated. Bookey stated he agreed totally with Moore and had the same question. MOTION TO AMEND: Councilman Bannock MOVED to amend the third whereas, replacing the words "shall be provided by the non-profit entity" with "shall be contingent upon Challenger funding." Councilman Bookey SECONDED the motion. Bannock explained, the amendment would put the City of Kenai in the loop should funds be received by the city earmarked for the Challenger Learning Center whether the funds come from NASA, State of Alaska, a benefactor, etc. If there is no funding forthcoming to the City of Kenai, the ordinance is worth nothing and eliminates any future potential problems of funding or no funding. Bannock added, council passed a similar ordinance with ESI in regard to the fire training center. Moore stated funding was the least of his worries, but was concerned about construction administration. He added, the question is whether the council will be involved with the construction administration or whether it should be involved in it. Ross stated, in the past, he thought council had taken the position it would be involved in construction administration as it was in the Memorandum of Agreement. What has been questioned now is because NASA has involved itself in some of the areas where the city would normally be involved. Now the city will be asking NASA what they see the city's role to be in the project as now, from the special conditions, it is a lesser role than what council had anticipated in the Memorandum of Agreement. Councilman Measles stated, he believed that is where the problem lies and has the same concerns Councilman Moore stated. He added, the council is voting on an ordinance but has no idea of whether it has the authority to it or not as it is unknown whether the city will be involved at all, a little bit or a whole lot. If the city will not have some responsibility in the construction management, then they should not be acting on the ordinance. Bannock stated, he believes the council did take on the responsibility and if NASA decides to change it, they can. At this time, council has gone on record as being willing to be in that position for grant administration. With this ordinance passed and if funds are granted, the city is in the position to administer those funds. The Challenger organization has asked the city to do that and the city has been receptive in that request. The ordinance is a follow-up on that, but could be changed in the future. He requested council to proceed as agreed upon earlier and act as a pass - through organization for Challenger funds. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES l JUNE 171 1998 PAGE 8 Bookey stated he agreed with Moore and Measles and added, council had no reason to fast -track the appropriation at this time. Continuing, Bookey stated he was always under the impression the city would take over the construction of the project. Now they've been told NASA may manage the construction. Bookey added, he did not want to do anything with the ordinance until the city knows who will maintain the project. Bannock disagreed and stated, the worst that could happen is that NASA states they will administer the $2.5 million (grant funds) . In that event, the city will not have anything to do with the construction of the facility and the ordinance would be moot. Bannock continued, what the ordinance does do is if the funds come in, it allows the Challenger Center to be ready to go. He added, there is no need to delay this particular action. Bookey stated he did not feel comfortable passing the ordinance as it is not known what the city's responsibility will be - all or part. Bannock stated, council unanimously passed a similar ordinance for the ESI project and this is the same thing. Moore stated he saw risk for the city to make a decision to appropriate the funds (as construction administrator) and then NASA stating they are construction administrators. The city would have appropriated monies incorrectly and those monies would be the city's responsibilities. Bannock stated, with the amendment included, that would be incorrect. Bannock called for the question on the amendment. VOTE ON AMENDMENT: Bookey: No Swarner: Yes Moore: No Measles: No Bannock: Yes Smalley: Yes Williams: Yes MOTION PASSED. Discussion on the main amended motion: Bannock stated, it was not possible for the city to be at risk because without funding there is no $60,000 appropriation. Swarner asked what would happen to the project if the ordinance was tabled until the July 1 meeting. Ross answered, the ordinance would sit until there is a resolution to award the project and would probably not have a delay effect. Swarner stated she was concerned as was Bookey, Measles and Moore with what will happen during the teleconference and what NASA will say. She added, she would like those answers prior to action on the ordinance. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JUNE 17, 1998 PAGE 9 Smalley asked Swarner to delineate what her concerns were and asked Popp to address the question of potential tabling of the motion. Swarner stated, if NASA is to take over more of the construction, she wanted to know how much it would be and what the city's part would be. Ross stated, there are phases in the special conditions NASA has reserved for itself that the city normally has done in other grants, i.e. design reviews, cost reviews, awarding, selection of contractors, etc. Also, NASA has not stated what responsibilities the city will have. Ross continued, additionally, the special conditions do not state the city is in the loop for the money. Swarner asked who the land would revert to if the Center was removed from the structure. Ross stated it would revert to the city and was definitely answered in the affirmative by NASA - the structure they are funding can go on long-term city -leased land and the city can write stipulations into the lease to protect the city's property interest if NASA reclaims their structure. Measles asked, if the city is in the loop, the award will have to be approved? Ross answered, he, the city attorney, finance director and auditor, spent two hours discussing this matter. If the city is the construction manager and the city's financial accounting system is in place for all of it, the city would do the award. If the city is in an agency role doing pass -through on the command of Challenger and reviewed by NASA, this would change. The city may not have the responsibilities and then not be in the mode to "stand tall." The teleconference meeting will enable the city to find out what their role will be in the matter since the special conditions did not define the city's role. Ross added, reading the special conditions now, it is a direct role between NASA and Challenger. MOTION TO TABLE: Councilman Measles MOVED to table the ordinance to the next council meeting. Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion. Smalley asked for a point of order in that he had requested Popp speak to the concerns of delay prior to taking action on the ordinance. Williams agreed and allowed Popp to speak and added, council would take immediate action after Popp's remarks. Popp stated some pertinent points council may want to consider were that the ordinance would begin the design process and not the actual construction. The funding model now developed by the Challenger organization is for three -phased construction. The first phase ($3 million) builds the core project of 9,000 square feet ($2.5 Million from the NASA grant and $.5 Million from other sources). Those funds KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES � JUNE 17, 1998 PAGE 10 will be available as they have already received $66,500 in commitments to the project when ready to break ground in the Spring. Also, there are more grants under development. Popp continued, they are looking at a time crunch. A time line has been carefully mapped out (since the forming of the joint construction committee). The time line calls for the award of the contract in May. A four -month cushion was included in the time line so the project could go to bid in late January or early February which is toward the end of the best bidding season. There are two months of the cushion left. If there is a delay with the ordinance it will take away another month of the cushion, leaving only a month to get the project started and not be bidding it in April or May for the best price. Popp stated they are very concerned about the time line and hope the council would move forward with the ordinance. Measles commented, if the city finds out it will be in the position of managing the design construction of the project, the award would have to come back to council anyway. If it turns out the city will not be involved in the construction management, the ordinance will not be needed and the money would flow directly to the Alaska Challenger from NASA. Inaction on the ordinance during this meeting should not delay the project. Measles added, the questions stated will have to be answered before council can move ahead anyway. Williams reminded council he was using a little leeway in regards to the tabling motion which is non -debatable. Williams asked to hear from Ross prior to taking action. Ross stated Popp was indicating the council needed to move on the ordinance, but that NASA had not yet awarded the money. Ross asked, are they grant reimbursable or funds they were going to transfer to the city from Challenger to do this part of the project. Popp answered, it was their intention to raise the funds themselves for this ordinance. Ross stated, he wanted Popp to review the special conditions because if council tables action on the ordinance, from what he read, the Challenger could make this award directly because it precedes the grant and may not be grant reimbursable. He added, he didn't know what would stop Challenger to move ahead even if the ordinance was tabled. Popp agreed to that point, but added, their concern was they are trying to maintain a relationship with the council as they have been a strong partner with the project from the beginning. He added, they are still working under the Memorandum of Agreement which is still operating between them and wanted to adhere to it as much as possible. Williams asked if there was a date specific for the tabling of the ordinance. Measles stated, tabled until the next council meeting. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES ? JUNE 172 1998 PAGE 11 VOTE ON MOTION TO TABLE: Bookey: Yes Swarner: Yes Measles: Yes Moore: Yes Measles: Yes Bannock: No Smalley: No Williams: No MOTION PASSED. Bannock stated he hoped council was not deciding it wants to be the Challenger Learning Center and that all of what took place during the meeting was just a debate about the city's relationship with Challenger. He added, he was very angry with some of the events that took place over the last week and one-half in relationship to the project. Bannock also stated he was incredibly concerned because he thought the process was good and Kluge had only slowed the process. Williams noted, even though he voted no, he strongly believes it was council's intention to see the establishment of the 501(3) (c) group to oversee the Challenger Center and do it within their own ranks without having to come to council for decisions they could make in house. He added, it's been the policy of the city and has worked this way for many years, i.e. the Visitors Center. This relieves the council from political positions it could be placed in. Williams added, the indication (to him) is the Challenger 501(3) (c) group is its total authority and has every right to do exactly what they want to do as a board of directors. With that in mind, Williams stated, he was happy to turn this issue back to the Challenger board and have them act on it. Williams noted, under the new law, 501(3)(c) groups are exempt from the Open Meetings Act even if they are partially or totally funded by government entities. Attorney Graves stated, generally non-profit groups are not covered even if they are partially funded by government (an amendment to the reforms). C-3.

Airport Commission Measles reported a meeting was held on June 11 at which time a presentation was made by Jim Carter regarding airport development. Measles referred to a memorandum included in the packet from Ross reporting on the meeting. Ross reported Carter gave the same presentation to the Airport Commission as he did to council and it was very well received. There was genuine interest expressed. Land masses and where was also discussed. The consensus was there was no land mass in Kenai. With comments made in the meeting and talking with City Engineer La Shot, getting dimensions from Acting Airport Manager Holland, and based on a 10,500 foot strip with what is needed on both ends for instrument approach, a land mass of three miles and up to one mile wide will be needed. There is no land mass in Kenai which would be acceptable for that project due to population, wetlands, or could not be developed. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JUNE 17, 1998 PAGE 14 Ross continued, Commissioners suggested the city would have to look two to three miles northwest of the city to find a land mass available. Ross noted a report was referred to and he is trying to get a copy of it to see if there are other sites identified in the past. This would be a hurdle council would have to review. Ross suggested identifying land mass, ownership, and availability may be the first thing needing to be investigated. Ross added, he had intended to recommend funding from the Airport Fund for a contract, however it is the opinion of administration those funds, dedicated to the Kenai Municipal Airport and development of it, could not be used to award a contract for development of a new airport. He will be discussing this with FAA, however in the past, uses not involving aviation uses required good justifications or paying lease rates. Ross continued, administration does not believe FAA will be accepting of using Airport Funds to develop a new airport which would not be within the city limits. If so, general funds would be needed to pay for such a contract. Ross requested council give thought to the development of an airport outside of the city limits. Jim Carter - Reported he thought the Airport Commission was very receptive to his presentation. A comment was made that considering the magnitude of the project, the cost for initially surveying the industry who would use it was not out of line. He added, the wetlands concerns, etc. have been dealt with in the past for development of other airports, etc. However, they are still concerns that will need addressing. Carter noted, he had a private conversation with Governor Knowles during his visit to Kenai and discussed the development of an airport. Although there were no commitments, he was interested and asked Carter to contact the Deputy Commissioner of the DOT. In speaking with the Commissioner of Commerce, investigation of more regional airports was discussed in consideration of tourism throughout the state. Carter stated he believed the project was viable within the five - to -ten-year time frame. Williams stated, this would be a major project and if investigation is not made, the viability will not be known. He noted the city, in the past, spent funds to investigate the building of a harbor and stabilizing the bluff. Neither occurred, but funds were expended to do the exploration of the possibility. Williams added, other companies could be used for this investigation which would cost more and the amount of information would be the same. Williams continued, the Charter allows council to own and develop properties and enterprises outside the boundaries of the city. However, he was concerned about the proximity of the Kenai Wildlife Refuge and the Moose Range to the city, though there are lands between Wildwood and the Wildlife Refuge that are not wetlands and KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DUNE 172 1998 PAGE 15 capable of supporting an airport. Air traffic can be allowed over the Wildlife Refuge. Construction may or may not be a problem. Williams requested council to take a "leap of faith" to explore this possibility. Swarner stated she would wait until an answer is received in regard to using airport funds. She added, if airport funds could not be used, she was not ready to use General Fund monies. Smalley stated he thought council needs to look to the future and would like to think there was a possibility of using airport funds to contract with Carter to investigate carrier interest in the city which could mean modification of the Kenai Airport or development of an airport outside the city. Smalley asked if would be possible to use airport funds if the contract spoke to assessment of interest, plans and support. Williams stated, he thought if had to do with the realm of the airport and a site not yet established, whether it would be in or out of the city or an extension of the present facility or development of a new facility, it could be possible FAA would fund the contract. Measles stated he thought the intent of the contract was to investigate the feasibility of the expansion of the Kenai Airport for the purpose of handling cargo or heavy aircraft. At some point in the study a determination would have to be made of whether it would be possible to do it. If there was any possible way to put it at this airport or in proximity of the airport, it would make it easier, i.e. one control tower, one FAA facility handling both runways. Bookey stated he would not support the development of an airport outside the city unless property on which a new airport would be constructed could be annexed for taxation into the city. Bookey added, he would absolutely not support use of general funds unless it could be structured like Measles suggested. Ross stated, the testimony he heard at the Airport Commission and at council was that the present runway is not structured physically to handle heavy jet traffic or would it be acceptable to the surrounding community. Williams stated, these are the items needing to be investigated. He added, if a lateral runway was built (four miles long) and remain as an integral part of the city and one end would be used for commuter service and the other for freight, it would still be a part of a single runway. Williams continued, there is the possibility the present control tower, if raised two or three stories, could accommodate both runways. Those are needing investigation. Measles added, to be a part of the Kenai Airport does not necessarily have to have that runway or extension of that runway. The other runway could be offset by a mile laterally and still be a part of the Kenai Airport. Ross stated he would correspond with FAA and ask them if airport funds can be used for a contract to investigate a new runway system. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JUNE 17, 1998 PAGE 16 Williams restated, the city will contact FAA, look for funding, bring funding back if it is available, and if not, the matter will be discussed further. Williams added, he believed the $100,000 for the contract with Carter could come from either airport or general funds, and would be funds well spent for the future of the Kenai Airport and the peninsula. Measles stated he didn't think there would be a problem in spending airport funds to do the investigation. Williams noted, the city manager had been authorized to proceed with correspondence with FAA. Time delays would be in place, but council would expect a report back at the next council meeting. D-3. Harbor Commission Councilman Bookey reported the meeting was short, however the Commission discussed the offer made by Alan Norville representing the Kenai River Classic (to be discussed at Item H-9 in this meeting) . D-4. Library Commission Councilman Moore noted the next meeting was scheduled for July 7. D-5. Parks & Recreation Commission Councilman Bannock reported the minutes of the June 4 meeting were included in the packet. Parks & Recreation Director Frates reported most of the meeting discussion was in regard to the presentation of Alan Norville about Cunningham Park improvements. Frates added, discussion also included transforming Municipal Park into a viable park through clearing of beetle -killed trees, etc. Frates reported, the clearing was planned for July 1 in conjunction with the Lions Club project work. Frates noted, the Third Annual Fun Run was scheduled for June 20 and would begin at the Art Guild building at 10:00 a.m. D-6 9 Planning & Zoning Commission Councilman Smalley requested an action agenda of meetings be included when minutes are not available. Smalley reported the following: 1. The sign variance request, which had been postponed, was approved, without the r • requested lighting, KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JUNE 17 1998 PAGE 17 2. A variance permit in Inlet View Subdivision passed. 3. Action on a conditional use permit application for a rock crushing/ asphalt plant was postponed to the next meeting in order to gather additional information. However, there was a lot of testimony given most objecting to this development; 4. The Development Requirements Table was approved, however there were some objections expressed by members of the public in regard to triplexes being allowed in an RR-1 zone; 5. Vacation of right-of-way utility easements for Government Lots 24, 452 and 44 was approved. Smalley asked why the minutes of the meeting were not included in the packet. Clerk Freas explained, the contract secretary is given 48 hours in which to submit the minutes after the meetings. The minutes were not available for packet. D-7. Miscellaneous Commissions and Committees D-7a. Beautification Committee Swarner reported there was no quorum and a work session was held. Swarner also noted planting of the flower beds and boxes had been completed, etc. D-7b. Historic District Board - No report. D-7c. Challenger Board Bill Popp - Reported council would be receiving a packet in the future describing the new phased construction/capitalization plan for the Challenger facility. He continued, the plan for the next six years is to bring the project to a completion, i.e. $3 million for the first phase; breaking ground for the exploratorium in 2001; distance learning laboratory, breaking ground in 2003. Smalley asked if there is a potential cost increase if the Challenger facility if the grant administration is not done by the city. Popp answered yes, based on the arrangement made between the Challenger Board and the council, if the city continues to administer the grant a ten percent grant administration fee will be saved. If not, a third party grant administrator will be hired and charge $.25 Million as an administration fee. Moore questioned the amount of funds raised at this time. Popp explained, $66,500 had been raised in future commitments and approximately $60,000 raised since March. Also, there are commitments to the national organization to pay for the down KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES } JUNE 17, 1998 PAGE 18 payment and they are working for the remaining portion to take care of the first portion of the architectural design process (which was described in the ordinance). Williams noted he has been involved with some fund-raising presentations to organizations who are very interested in donating but have some reservations in that they want to be sure the money is spent for what it is supposed to be spent. Many organizations are issuing checks for 25% to 30% of their total donation and are to forward the remainder when ground is broken. Some are pledging amounts, but have to take the request to their state organization first. There are other fund-raising activities also taking place. Popp also noted they have submitted grant applications for approximately $35 million to several organizations. Some responses have been received and they are awaiting others. D-?d.

Councilman Measles SECONDED the motion. Finance Director Semmens addressed the revised costs for the Finance Department software, stating they had been evaluating special assessment software. An amount of $4,200 had been budgeted. The BSA software would cost $4,200. However, in their evaluation they found the BSA software not acceptable and recommended the purchase of the PDS software. PDS, whose initial cost was much higher, lowered their price to $4,000. Public Works Director Kornelis explained the additional cost for the work performed by Zubeck, Inc. as the repair of the service line was more extensive than anticipated (a separated main) which took two days to repair. Kornelis also explained the purchase order to GLM Corporation was for troubleshooting at the Sewer Treatment Plant to find the cause of problems with a screw pump. He noted, the cost could be as much as $4,000. VOTE: There were no objections. SO ORDERED, H-3.

KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES f JUNE 172 1998 PAGE 21 H-8. Discussion -Site Consideration/Kenai Public Health Center. Ross reported a meeting of state, borough and city representatives was scheduled for June 24 and 25 to view sites and discuss the project. He requested council identify a site for the project. He noted, Lot 2, Block 1, of Etolin Subdivision was satisfactory and could handle the footprint of the proposed project. He added, Williams had suggested consideration could be given to the property just relinquished by Continuum Corporation close to the Senior Center. Williams stated, some of the decision process would have to wait until a determination was made regarding development of the facility, i.e. one or two phases or a combination. Ross noted, Mr. Robson (from the Borough) felt the Etolin site would be satisfactory in size even if there is future phasing out to 15,000 sq. ft. He added, the information was included in his memorandum included in the packet. Smalley stated he would support the Lot 2, Block 1 of Etolin Subdivision since it meets the proposed need, and because the property by the Senior Center could be used for a larger development in the future. Swarner stated she also supported the use of Lot 2, Block 1 of Etolin Subdivision for the same reasons as Smalley. Also because she would like the facility to be built in more of the center of town. She noted, the city park close by this property will be advantageous to clients of the facility. Moore stated he agreed with specifying Lot 2, Block 1 of Etolin Subdivision. Williams stated he thought the Etolin property was an excellent choice as utilities are present. He added, from comments of council, administration was directed to offer the Lot 2, Block 1, Etolin Subdivision parcel as the city's selection. There were no objections from council. H-9. Discussion -Cunningham Park/ Kenai River Classic. Williams reported the Kenai River Classic has been raising funds to do projects along the river and now it has come to their attention they have not done any projects inside the city. They are now wanting to team with the city to enhance Cunningham Park property probably including boat ramps, etc. Williams added, they would like to have the city match the development of the park with land purchases to enlarge the park. Williams continued, he told the Classic representative the council would consider when accepting that sort of proposition: 1) the city's decision to do something in the way of land purchase; and 2) whether the city wants to take on an additional park facility. Because this would be an economic enhancement to the community and because in the future he suspects all motors will be banned from the river, it may be good to consider this situation. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DUNE 17, 1998 PAGE 22 Parks 8s Recreation Director Frates reported Mr. Norville made a presentation to the Parks 8v Recreation Commission. Norville noted his organization would probably have approximately $1 million to fund some of the projects. The Commission was very much interested in this project. The Commission didn't discuss the addition of the two adjacent lots as they feel the enhancement should be within the present park boundaries. Bookey stated he would like to explore the offer, but was not sure they should consider enlarging the park as the present park has some bank stabilization concerns that should be addressed instead. Smalley stated, the area near Cunningham Park is a heavily fished area and would support some development there for safety sake. Moore stated he was all for matching costs to improve city property, however there are problems at the mouth of the river which need to be addressed before putting money elsewhere. Williams stated he understood the Classic would like to see Cunningham Park enlarged. Frates stated he asked that question and was told the Classic usually splits costs at 50 / 50 or 50 / 40. The Classic was wanting engineered plans and cost estimates for their review and from there, they would decide if they wanted to take on that project. Williams asked if plans for enhancing Cunningham Park could be done in house. La Shot answered he believed they could but later in the fall or winter due to the summer workload. Ross stated he believed they were considering it for a 1999 project and engineering could be done in the fall or winter. Williams suggested council direct administration to plan to do the engineering during the fall after discussions with the Classic representatives know what it is they want to do. Williams added, he believed council was basically in agreement with the concept, and when they know how much money is available from the Classic, the engineering department can then design something based on that amount. Swarner asked if only Cunningham Park was being considered for a project or other city parks along the river. Williams answered, the offer was specifically for Cunningham Park. Moore requested the residents within 300 ft. of Cunningham Park of what is being considered. Williams suggested incorporating the Harbor Commission and Parks & Recreation Commission in the discussions as well. Ross asked if the neighbors should be notified when the engineering is presented to council. Williams answered yes. Bannock requested the engineering design first go through Parks & Recreation and Harbor Commissions prior to coming to council. There were no objections. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES } JUNE 17, 1998 PAGE 23 H-10. Discussion -Sale of Dairy Queen Williams noted there were some problems with the roof and the sewer of the Dairy Queen building, as well as being economically obsolete due to its construction and the machinery in the building being worn out. He suggested the building be put up for bid to have it torn down and then sell the land. Ross stated the building has been shown several times and there seems to be interest. Additionally, he has contacted FAA and asked under what conditions could the numbers be brought down and he was told they would accept anything the appraiser could reasonably support. The appraisal states it would take six to nine months to market the building and it has only been on the market for five months. Ross continued, he discussed the matter with a local appraiser and he suggested it could take six to nine months to market the property. Ross added, until the constraints of the appraisal is followed (six to nine month period), what Williams suggested could not be done. The city cannot raze the building without FAA's approval. Ross also noted, the Airport Fund purchased the property and building from the bank some years ago. Williams noted, he is aware of one investor who is waiting for the city to determine what it will do with the property and whether he can negotiate with the city with a sale in order for him to finalize plans for his development on property adjacent to the Dairy Queen property. Measles noted, there was nothing preventing this interested party from negotiating a sale at this time. Ross noted, he had discussed with this person his bringing an offer to council around the value of the land without the value of the building computed in, although he was unaware whether the FAA would accept it. In this case, however, the value offer was way below just the value of the land and left the city in the position of not being able to go to the FAA at all. Ross added, if the city were to sell the property for only the value of the land, he would question whether it should be offered to the public because they would be negotiating below what was advertised. Williams stated he was concerned waiting the 90 days (until the end of the nine - month period) would circumvent construction this year. Bannock asked if the building and property was being marketed by a realtor. Ross answered, any realtor can bring forward an interested party and receive a commission for the sale of the property. The city cannot give an exclusive, but this property as well as other city properties are multiple listed. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JUNE 171 1998 PAGE 24 Bannock asked what the status was of the corner property west of the Dairy Queen property. Ross answered, it is zoned conservation and has the utility injection plant on it and drainage ditch through it. Bannock suggested if that piece of property were included with the Dairy Queen property, it would make it a much more valuable asset. Williams stated he would bring the issue back to council in September. ITEM I: ADMINISTRATION REPORTS I-11 Mayor a. Birch Island - Williams reported he had a discussion with State Parks regarding Birch Island and the boardwalk program which began ten years ago and noted, there is a lot of funding available for roads and trails, scenic views and walkways, etc. Williams continued, the Borough Mayor will go with him to visit the director of State Parks in Anchorage and they will try to convince him to build the boardwalk around Birch Island, underneath and a platform viewing area. Williams requested council approval to travel to Anchorage for this discussion. There were no objections from council. b. Borough Planning Commission Appointment - Williams referred to a letter added to the agenda from the Borough requesting candidates for placement on the Borough Planning Commission. The letter noted Philip W. Bryson's term was ending. Williams noted Bryson indicated his interest in continuing his representation of the city on the Planning Commission. Williams commended Bryson for his many years of service on the city Planning & Zoning Commission, as well as the Borough Planning Commission. There were no objections for the renewal of Philip W. Bryson to the Borough Planning Commission. C. FY 99 State Revenue Sharing Program Notice of Entitlement - Williams referred to a letter from DCRA distributed at the beginning of the meeting. The letter noted the city's FY 99 entitlement to be $175,836. d. Kenai Peninsula Tourism Marketing Council - Regional Tourism Conference - Williams referred to the request for sponsorship of the Conference which was included in the packet. Council reviewed the information and requested the matter be brought back to council later in the year. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JUNE 17, 1998 PAGE 25 I-2. City Manager a. Installation Agreement -Ross reported the city would be entering into an installation agreement with Clint Hall for Wind Haven Estates wherein Hall will provide a promissory note/deed of trust on the unsubdivided portion of the subdivision as a security against finishing the improvements in the subdivided portion. Ross added, this allows the final plat to be filed for Phase I so Hall can begin marketing properties there. Swarner asked if there is city water and sewer to those lots. Ross answered, there is city water/sewer to the lots Hall is selling with homes on them. The security agreement is to ensure the developed lots receive the water and sewer. I-3. Attorney Attorney Graves reported he attended a bankruptcy hearing and spoke with the attorney representing Mark Air. Some progress has been made in the case and another hearing will be held on August 7 which he plans to attend. I-4. City Clerk - No report. Finance Director - Noted the FY 99 budgets were distributed. He also noted the revenue sharing amount (noted during Mayor's report) was a seven percent cut from last year and a five percent cut to the city's budget. I-6. Public Works Director - No report. Smalley stated he appreciated the letter from GDM, Inc. regarding the process for choosing an architect for the Challenger project (which was included in the packet) . I-7. Airport Manager Acting Airport Manager Holland reported the minutes of the June 11 Airport Commission meeting would be included in the next packet. He also reported an interview for the airport manager position was scheduled for next week. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DUNE 17, 1998 PAGE 26 ITEM J: DISCUSSION J-1. Citizens - None. J-2. Council Bookey - Stated he felt the city was forced into the removal of the tanks at the airport. He also noted the sidewalks had not yet been cleaned by the state and suggested the city clean the sidewalks and send the bill to the state. Kornelis reported he contacted the state superintendent. He was told they have contracted out the work with a private firm and they are low on funds so the work has not yet been done. Kornelis added, he believed the contractor would start early and bill the state after July 1. Bookey stated he was concerned that it was already the middle of June and the main thoroughfare through Kenai had not been swept. Also, the city goes to great lengths to have the community look nice and yet the sidewalks are dirty. Swarner suggested community service people clean the sidewalks. Kornelis stated he would write and call the state, although the contractor has applied for water and he suspects the cleaning will be done soon. Swarner - Urged council to attend the retirement potluck for Dave Reetz. Moore - Requested the multi -purpose facility be included on the Public Works Progress Report. Measles - No report. Bannock - Stated his concern the state would not be able to clean the two new bike paths to be built. Smalley - a. Bryson Renewal -- Thanked Phil Bryson for his service on the Kenai Peninsula Borough Planning Commission. b. City Manager Evaluation -- Requested council to set an executive session for the evaluation of City Manager Ross. Smalley suggested July 1, 1998 for the evaluation. There were no obj ections from council. C. Airport Expansion -- Smalley requested council to give the discussion regarding airport expansion a lot of consideration. He added, he would like to see a relationship established with Carter to survey the carrier l KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DUNE 17, 1998 PAGE 27 interest. If there is no interest, another direction should then be investigated. If there is interest, there is a real potential for development of cursory businesses as well. Smalley added, he hoped council didn't wait too long. EXECUTIVE SESSION - None Scheduled, ITEM K.
