MEETING MINUTES
D-2. Airport Commission
No meeting scheduled until August.
D-3. Harbor Commission
Councilman Bookey reported the June 6 meeting minutes were
included in the packet. There was no discussion of real major
concern. The Commission discussed a permit with the Corps for
Eagle Rock which was approved.
D-6. Library Commission
Councilwoman Monfor reported the meeting minutes and monthly
report were included in the packet. The book sale was a huge
success.
D-So Parks i Recreation Commission
Parks & Recreation Director McGillivray reported a meeting was
held last night. The minutes will be included in the next
packet.
D-6. Planning i Zoning Commission
No report. Monfor congratulated the Commission on not granting
an exemption in regard to an encroachment on property in Deepwood
Manor.
Bannock questioned the actions on the reapplication for an
encroachment permit. Attorney Graves explained the encroachment
was denied approximately two years ago by P&Z. The discussion
then was sent to the Council by Board of Adjustment and it was
denied there as well. Reapplication for a permit can be made if
something has changed from the first application to the present.
In this case PAZ found no change, therefore they rejected the.
encroachment. A change in ownership is not a material change.
D-7. Miscellaneous Commissions and Committees
a. Beautification Committee - Swarner reported a meeting
is scheduled for next week. McGillivray referred to a thank -you
letter included in the packet addressed to Lynden Transport.

Councilwoman Aonfor stated Councilln:previous' discussion of the

that meeting, they discussed at. length to make a donation of
$2,000.
MOTIONS
Councilwoman Monfor MOVED to donate' -a not -to -exceed amount of
$2,000 for the reception. Councilman Bannock SECONDND the
motion.
Bannock stated during their conversation of June 1, it was
suggested to request an hour be set aside for the senators to
meet with.local officials. Bannock noted information.included in
the packet that will not be possible. Bannock stated he will
vote no.

it could have been held in Kenai. Bookey added he felt the
reception being held in Kenai would have been very beneficial to
Kenai. Bookey stated he could not see the justification of a
$28000 donation.
Monfor reported she spoke with Golden and Mayor Gilman on June 2..
They wanted to hold the reception close to where all the events
were going to take place. It will cost $20.00 a person to get
into the reception where ever the reception is held. The City of
Soldotna has not made a donation for the reception.
Monfor added when Mayor Williams first discussed the reception
with Council (May 18), Council gave a commitment. Williams
reported to Mayor Gilman there was a commitment. Gilman stated
to her $2,000 is probably more than they will need.
Councilwoman Swarner stated she was not in support of the $2,000
donation when it was discussed at the June 1 meeting and she was
not in support of donating and being charged a fee to get in.
Measles explained the cost of a ticket is a donation to HabPro,
which is a fund for habitat protection. Bookey requested
justification for a $2,000 donation. During previous discussion,
he was led to believe Council would have access to the senators.
Measles stated there was no justification for the $2,000
donation. It was never assumed there would be time for officials
to meet with the senators. The entire trip is for promotion of
habitat protection.
Monfor stated she was open to having her motion amended to a
lower amount. Monfor added she felt the Council made a
commitment to donate something. Manninen stated he recalled
Williams said he would try to link the donation to the $95,000
for next years' lobbying efforts. Since Soldotna is.not
donating, a donation from Kenai may get more leverage with the
Borough Mayor. There may be more exposure for Kenai.
MOTION TO AMM I
Councilman Bookey MOVED to amend the amount of the donation from
$2,000 to $1,000„ Councilwoman Monfor BECOXDED the motion.

reminded Council the river ends in Kenai and people fish on Kenai

city of Kenai.

during the last meeting and she and Councilman Bannock objected.
Their objections were soir.ewhat overlooked.

MOTION:
Councilwoman Monfor MOVED to pay the purchase orders over $1,000
and Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion.
Bookey asked why the City was contracting out the work to place a
water line to the new tent camping area when the work could be
done in house. The City has equipment to do that type of work.
Kornelis stated this was not a major project, however Council had
showed some urgency in having the work done. Kornelis added the
water department is short-handed at this time.
Bookey asked if this would be an all-weather line. Kornelis
stated he did not know. Bookey stated that was why they bought
the backhoe, so that work like this could be done in house.
Kornelis stated if Council wanted to wait three or four weeks, he
would then have a full crew. Bookey suggested because the
camping area would only be used in the summer, only a summertime
burial of the water line would be necessary. Kornelis stated if
they want to wait to do the work, they will have more time.

A memorandum was included in the packet from Administrative
Assistant Howard which listed city -owned properties acquired

which might be useable for Habitat for Humanity.
Monfor asked Fire Chief Burnett if Lots 9, 10, and 11, Block 11,
Ahlstrom Subdivision were still needed for a future site for a
fire station. Burnett stated the properties would be needed in
the future. A priority substation would be one for the Thompson
Park area. Measles stated it appeared there would be other
properties available for a substation on Wildwood Drive.
Burnett stated he will be receiving ISO recommendations on
substations at the end of August. Wherever a substation is
placed, it will be in compliance with ISO.

Bookey stated he has always felt the City's building permit fee

Bookey added he believed the building fees are taking care of the
City's operation in regard to the building inspector. The City
should not be trying to make money off the schedules. Bookey
stated he was very comfortable with the fees as they are.

Measles stated he was not sure he agreed with DEC's evaluation of
the problem. More assessment would be necessary
from where the contamination may be coming if it is not found on
city property.
Bookey asked how can they be sure the contamination did not
migrate onto the shop property. Kornelis explained DEC wants the
City to do a site assessment of our property to see if the
contamination is coming from the city property. DEC has given
directives they want the City to do a site athision, testing
and records check. The $2,100 is to starton

Bookey stated that is what worried him. The cost could turn into
$2 million. Kornelis stated the site assessment and field
investigation is to determine if there is a problem for the city.
They will probably be doing test holes, etc. Attorney Graves is
having an investigation done as well.
Measles stated another concern is the ground water flow is not
coming from the right direction to be coming from the city shop
area. Kornelis stated DEC thinks it is coming from the north or
west side of the property.
Measles asked if they have done any testing on our road. .
Kornelis stated no, the testing was been dome on the Kenny Carver
property by the executor of the.Carver estate.
Graves stated he hoped to use the report defensively that the
contamination came from somewhere else.
Bookey asked if a report was received back on the Dan Pitts
property._ Bookey added he did not want to get into another
problem.like the court house.
Swarner questioned whether DEC came to the city because it is a
municipality or have there been other requests. Graves stated he
believed because the City owns the adjoining property.
Measles -stated anywhere around the area there will be
contaminants and DEC will require clean up.
