Resolution No. 94-53 - Transferring $6,465 in the General and Airport Funds for an Environmental Site Assessment of the City's Maintenance Shop Area. MOTION: Councilman Measles KOVBD for adoption of Resolution NO. 94-53 and Councilwoman Swarner 88CONDED the motion. City Manager Manninen requested the last paragraph of Page 2 of the Northern Test Lab "Maintenance Shop Site Assessment Cost Estimate" be deleted. That paragraph states "...The Client will defend and hold NTL harmless from any claim or action resulting from any contamination except that which results from negligence by NTL." Manninen stated with that deletion he would recommend approval of the agreement. Manninen added he and Kornelis discussed the matter with the owner (Tauriainen) in the afternoon and Tauriainen agreed with the deletion of the paragraph, Bookey questioned the La Shot memorandum included in the packet in which he stated "...We may learn enough through preliminary work that the entire site assessment may take a different direction. Kornelis explained they may find the soil contamination is coming from somewhere else. If so, the action to be taken may be different. Williams asked Administration if it would be more appropriate to pay the total cost of the work from the Airport Lands System instead of splitting the cost because the property was formerly included in the Airport Lands System. Attorney Graves stated he and Finance Director Brown discussed how to allocate the cost, since the General Fund leased the property from the Airport Fund. It is a similar situation with the new court house and property. They felt it important the costs be charged the same way. Measles agreed it was the correct way to handle the cost. it keeps it all the same. Manninen reported further on his discussions with Mike Tauriainen. Manninen mentioned to Tauriainen that he (Manninen) understood why Tauriainen would request such a coverage in liability and protection for his company, but there is no guarantee against a lawsuit in any event and the city should not be fronting any cost and would not be. On the other items he has dealt with, Manninen stated he never indemnified contractors' liability or held them harmless unless it was a mutual agreement and the contractors' policies included the same information. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES August 17, 1994 Page 4 Manninen stated it was a standoff if done that way and why hold: the contractor harmless. They are getting the job from the city. It is part of their fixed cost and overhead. It is part of the bid. They should follow through with it and get their own insurance. If they get sued, they will go.after the deepest pocket and that will be the city. In the end Tauriainen agreed, but basically said-he'might as well have given it a shot. 90to CampbMil, Northern Test Lab. Campbell confirmed the discussions between Manninen and Tauriainen and stated he was told Tauriainen decided to drop the hold harmless clause and the had no problem in doing so.
