NX NOTBS OF JANUARY 18, 1995
Recently, while reviewing the minutes of the last fiscal year,
the auditor discovered the vote on Ordinance No. 1623-958 was
inadvertently omitted from the minutes of the January 180 1995
council meeting.
I discussed the matter with Attorney Graves. At his
recommendation, I have entered the vote on Ordinance No. 1623-95
to the minutes and an requesting your approval of that portion of
the minutes. The remainder of the minutes are the same, other
than repositioning of information from page to page during
reprint of the document.

additional risk assessment work be done at this time as it would
be more costly to do it later. Also, the risk assessment could
be more extensive than that required for a site assessment. The
cost of the risk assessment work was stated as $556.00.

MOTION:
Councilman Smalley MOVED for approval of the lease application to
Leo A. Grasso and John D. Verdugo, d/b/a The Continuum
Corporation, Lot 1, Spur Subdivision, Senior Citizen Addition.
Councilman Bookey BECONDED the motion.
Leo Grasso - Asked Council if they had any questions.
Councilwoman Monfor stated when Grasso first came to Council with
the information on the assisted living facility, she was
skeptical. However, since Grasso came forward with the floor
plan sketch and artist rendering of the building, she has become
very excited about the project. The facility will be bringing
new people to the area as visitors to the facility, as well as
residents of the facility. Monfor also noted the artist
rendering of the facility shows the building as looking very
compatible to the congregate housing and senior center
facilities.
Grasso stated the building will have different roof lines when
completed. They will be starting the construction plans next
week. Their main concern is that there is a real need for this
type of facility. They chose Kenai because Kenai wants the
facility. They are looking forward to building this facility and
other projects in the area. They hope to progress in a timely
manner and have the facility open by next spring.
Councilman Bookey asked how the city video was accepted. Grasso
answered very well. Grasso added he took the video all over the
country and people really liked it. The length of the video was
also very good. it was very professionally done. Grasso stated
he took a copy to Washington, DC and those seeing it were very
impressed.

Williams suggested copies of the video be sent to Senators
Stevens and Murkowski and Congressman Young.
Grasso added the facility will be an economic benefit to the
City, i.e. property taxes, employment. The facility will house
eight to 12 units to begin with. It will depend on the bank
whether they can build twenty units in the first phase. ASHA is
also interested in the facility.
Williams asked Pat Porter if she thought there would be 20 people
in the area who could use the facility. Porter stated she had
not done any studying, however she knew of five or six in the
congregate housing facility who may want to move into an assisted
living facility in the near future. At this time there are 70
people on the waiting list for the congregate housing facility.
Porter reminded Council the assisted living facility would be for
not only elders, but other needing people in the community as
well.
Grasso stated they will be starting a marketing plan. They have
selected an administrator for the facility. They will be
targeting Kenai people for the remainder of the employees. They
want career -oriented people living in the area as employees.
They plan to offer benefits with the jobs in order to keep people
working with them.

N-7. Discussion - Request for State Grants/New Animal
Control Shelter.
Kornelis stated the blueprints/plans were available for council
to review. Also there was information included in the packet
explaining the need for an upgraded facility,
The meeting stood at ease from 8:46 p.m. to 8:50 p.m. for council
to review the plans.
Council -reviewed and discussed the memoranda included in the
packet. Animal Control officer Godek stated the 1994 year's end
report would be available at the end of January as they had just
gotten done with the disposition of December's animals.
Williams stated the animal shelter was rated lower on the CIF
list because of the need for water wells. He would really like
to see if matching grant money might be available in Juneau and
if it is, build the shelter.
Councilwoman Monfor asked if there was a chance of getting
funding from the Borough. Williams stated he would talk with
Mayor Gilman about it and request that he take the discussion to
the Assembly. Williams added he would like the media to take a
tour of the building in order that the story would get some media
attention. At this time approximately 251,000 people are being
served by the shelter and that is part of'the problem. There is
a tremendous amount of exposure to more than the Kenai community.
Smalley reported he spoke with an Assembly representative and was
told there is a potential for funding from the Assembly. They.
have Borough money for animal control. The unfortunate aspect of

would be clear. Adding tubes over the fluorescent lights would
be a good idea, however he did not know how much of the UV rays
would be screened out. Kluge also suggested the lights be
turned off in the exhibit rooms when there is no one in the
rooms.
Kluge discussed the humidification with the engineer who worked
on the design. His recommendation was that to take care of the
exhibits properly, it needs to bedone
on material -type basis
and control the environment at each displaycase.
Bookey stated he agreed with Kluge. Bookey reported he spent an
hour with the director and curator of the Center. He is
concerned the building is wanting to be used for more than what
it was originally designed. It was not planned to become a
Sm ithsonian-type institution. Bookey also discussed the
humidification problem with them. He feels that without more

engineering or design, adding a humidification system could be
more detrimental to the exhibits. Individual cabinets and cases
that are humidity controlled may be better.
Bookey reported there is grant money available to have a
diagnosis made of the building in regard to humidification. He
would like council to hold off on putting money into a
humidification system and have the Center apply for the grant.
Bookey added he was dismayed that the curator of the Center had
not been included in discussions in regard to the humidification
system. Kluge stated he used the information from the memorandum
forwarded to the City and then to him from Sue Carter when the
problem was first discussed with council.
Kluge reported the damage to the Bicentennial quilt was because
the quilt was against a light.
Swarner stated she appreciated the suggestion to turn off the
lights in the exhibit rooms when no one is in the rooms. Swarner
, asked Kluge if he thought about glazing the north windows when
designing the building. Kluge answered no, because they are
north windows. Swarner stated she was concerned there was not'
more research done at the time of the design. Swarner asked why
they were not using full spectrum lights in the building now.
Kluge answered the cost is very high for those types of lights.
Swarner stated she would like to go ahead with the
tective
glazing on the north windows and light sleeves on tho efluorescent
lights. Swarner also agreed they should hold off on installen a
humidification system. g
Kluge stated he believed it would be wise to find out how much
lighting would be lost with installation of sleeves before the
are installed. y
Kornelis stated he was informed it would lower the lights from
2,700 to 21100. Kluge stated he did not think that would be a
concern.
Williams stated the discussion could go on for
years. They
really do not know what they should do for the
agreed and added they did not have the necessary rinformationkto
make a good decision. Bookey stated if applied for, the grant
could be awarded and the work could be done within six months.
Bookey suggested special display cases be purchased for specific
items.
Kluge stated that at some time in the future, the north end may
be expanded. At that time special cases could be built into the
room for specific items.

Williams stated the humidity problem happens only a small amount
of time in the year. If a humidification system is installed, it
may be necessary to de -humidify the building as well. Williams
added he believed this was a redundant conversation. Williams
suggested glasses of water be placed in the different cases for
individual humidification.
Kim Booth, Director of the Center, stated they are placing
glasses of water in the cases at this time.
Councilman Smalley stated he was in favor of the Center applying
for the grant. Smalley asked if the diagnosis would investigate
the problem of the UV rays as well. Smalley added they needed to
find out the problems of the UV lighting before doing the glazing
because the glazing may not correct the problem.
Kluge stated he did not think anything could be hurt by lowering
the UV's. It would only lower the amount of lighting for the
room. Discussion followed about the loss of lighting with the
sleeves. Kluge stated he did not think it would hurt to add the
glazing or put sleeves on the lights. If the UV's are reduced,
it will help the facility. Another answer would be to have the
janitor turn the lights off at night when no one is in the room.
Williams suggested the humidification problem be held until the
Center can apply for the grant.
Swarner asked how long it would take to have the glazing and
sleeves installed. Kluge stated if the materials were in stock,
probably a few days. Bookey stated he would like to have spend
the $1,500 for glazing and sleeves. The W problem is from the
outside lighting (the street light). There is more natural light
in this facility than was in Ft. Kenay where many of the exhibits
had been prior to the opening of the Center.
Williams suggested the glazing and sleeves be installed and wait
on the diagnosis of the humidification problem.
MOTION:
Councilman Smalley MOVED to install the glazing, W tube guards
and bulbs and Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion and
requested MQUIMOUB CONSENT. There were no objections. 80

B-9. Discussion - vintage Pointe Manor - 20 Additional
Units.
Kornelis informed Council a full cost estimate was available for
anyone to review. An additional boiler (to handle the heat) and

the installation of an elevator will be required. More
information regarding those items was included in the memorandum
included in the packet. The total cost estimate for construction
of a 20-unit addition is $2,360,000.
Kornelis added schematic drawings of the building were displayed
in the Chambers. The addition will not look like an addition,
but part of the original building.
Kornelis reported another consideration is that the addition will
extend into the right-of-way. The right-of-way can be narrowed
to 50 feet. This will require approval from the Planning &
Zoning Commission.
1illiams noted the cost for the addition is estimated at $117/sq.
ft. ASHA has suggested the cost for construction should not be
greater than $145/sq. ft. With this information he could go to
ASHA for financing. The grant money available will have to be
determined and what cost there would be to the City. How to
handle the debt will also have to be determined. There may be a
40 way of revenue debt where this will become a stand-alone
facility.
Finance Director Brown stated he and Attorney Graves talked about
this a long time ago. There is a regulation about "ten users or
less." With 20 additional units, this would not work. If one
user could be a corporate entity, that rents the apartments, that
might be okay. They did not explore the situation anymore than
that.
Williams suggested directing the Administration to determine what
the operating criteria would be for operating the facility and
consider financing short of going to a vote. Williams added he
believed the City could go to a corporate structure function
under the auspices of the City government.
Attorney Graves stated they might be able to do that, however,
the question would be how to market the bonds. Could bonds be
sold if they were from a housing corporation.
Councilwoman Monfor stated she had strong feelings about
borrowing federal money which has restrictions. She likes the
integrity of the housing facility as it is now. It is already
known the facility pays for itself.
Brown stated the rent would not pay the debt service for
S financing the entire project. Monfor stated she would want "no
strings" money.

if the zoning ordinances are reviewed now, it may send a message
that there is a problem with the ordinances. He would not want a

In referring to La Shot's memorandum, Measles strongly urged that

employment situation. There were no objections from Council on
sending the letter.

with a person who is interested in situating a foundry in Kenai
where they would produce bronze and aluminum castings. Williams
added because of this meeting, he will not be available to attend
the meeting at the Borough with Seward's Mayor Crane. Williams
invited other councilmembers to attend.
i. Cunningham Park Update - Williams reported he will
discuss Information Item 10 (added at the beginning of the
meeting) with Lobbyist Ashley Reed during his visit to Juneau.
j. Peninsula Winter Games - Williams referred to the
letter from Peninsula Winter Games requesting a donation to aid
in holding the Games. Williams noted the information included
from the Clerk that $200 had been budgeted for such a donation.
Williams also noted that the information from the Peninsula
Winter Games stated a full -page advertisement's cost was $250.
Williams asked if Council wished to raise their donation to cover
the cost of a full -page advertisement.
Councilwoman Monfor stated she did not want to make a donation.
Monfor noted the information indicated there are no board of
directors who are residents of Kenai, nor are any of the

Paulsen and Lynda Ruesch traveled to Homer to review the document
imaging system they use at the City of Homer. They found it to
be very interesting. While there, they learned Homer.Electric

however, is a different system than the City of Homers. They
learned a lot about the advantages of the.system and more
information will be provided to Council later in budget sessions.
e. Ambulance Yes Proposal — Freas reported she would be
sending out packets of information to a list of citizens given to
her by the Mayor,. The information packets would be mailed by
Friday afternoon. Packets of the same information will be -
available at City Hall. She is hoping the Peninsula Clarion will
be placing an article about the proposal in the paper for added
publicity. The letter attached to the packets invites people to
review the information and submit or bring their comments to the
special meeting on February S.
Mayor Williams stated he spoke with three specific people he had
on the list of citizens to whom the packets would be sent. Two
of the three indicated they would not be able to attend the
special meeting. He.requested they send comments back for the
meeting. All three people agreed that there should be a user
fee.
