Woodcock stated he has a noise problem in his neighborhood caused by a band practicing from approximately 6:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Woodcock referred to the Kenai Municipal Code regarding noise abatement, etc. Woodcock stated he has spoken to the police and gave them a copy of the code. So far there has been no success. Woodcock requested Council to investigate. Chief Morris stated the police have responded twice last week. The first time, they told the people at the residence to turn down the volume on the music. The second time, officers met with other neighbors and talked with the people. The people were told if the complaint occurs again, they will be arrested. It will be a state offense. B-2. Kenaitze =ndian Tribe - Fish Camp Educational Net - Old Town Beach. Clara Swan, Executive Director of the Kenaitze Indian Tribe requested the City of Kenai allow the Tribe to use a portion of the beach below "Old Town" on which to erect a temporary Kenaitze fish camp and where they can set their educational net. Swan referred to her letter and proposal which were included in the packet. Attorney Graves stated from a legal standpoint, under public trust the beach must be reserved for everyone's use. The City cannot give an exclusive use to anyone. Graves stated a request was brought to Council a few years ago from someone wanting to use a portion of the beach for picnics and games. The City advised that person the same. Williams asked if there was anything barring the Kenai Municipal Code or state law that would disallow the Tribe from setting their net and have a fish camp as citizens. Graves stated it is a public beach. Everyone has the right to access the water. There is nothing to exclude their use as well as anyone else's use. Swan stated they can set their net on the beach because they have a permit to do so. The Tribe is interested in having people come to watch and learn. They thought it would be something that would be a positive thing for the community. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES APRIL 21, 1993 is PAGE 3 Williams stated people can put up shelters and portable restrooms are there. Training can be any place. There is nothing illegal within the Code of the City. Williams advised there cannot be driving on the beach to the left. Swan stated they were wanting to conduct their fishing camp the old way, which would not include motor vehicles. Swan added the Tribe believes they can be instrumental in keeping the beach nice.

Williams wished the Tribe success and he will come to visit them this summer. 1t'T=-Cs PUBLIC HEARINGS C-1.

Kornelis stated there should be enough money in that account to make it through the rest of the year.

Kornelis answered yes. D-2. Airport commission Measles reported the Commission met on April S. The minutes of the meeting are included in the packet as well as a copy of materials presented to the Commission at the meeting from the Business Alliance. It was determined after the meeting there was not a legal quorum for the meeting: Commissioner Thibodeau would not become officially a member until the amendment to the ordinance delineating the make-up of the commission became effective. Therefore, the actions taken at that meeting were moot. The next meeting has been set for May 6, 1993. Williams asked if the Commission would be addressing the landing fee schedule for the airport. Ernst stated yes, everything addressed at the last meeting will be addressed again on May 6. Williams stated the landing fees have been in effect for some time and a change was made with Resolution 92-71. That resolution was to correct a technical error. Williams stated he hoped the Commission and the Airport Manager will be working on • KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES APRIL 21, 1993 PAGE 7 the landing fee schedule as he believed there are some problems with it. Williams added he believes there are some inequities. Williams stated he believes the greatest inequity is an air taxi service who makes one trip has to pay $25.00. The cost is passed on to the client. The client may not want to pay that cost and the air taxi service may use other facilities. Ernst stated at the last meeting the Commission tried to remedy the situation. Ernst added there is some confusion between landing fees and use fees. Ernst stated the use fee is the one that is confusing. The landing fee is the only one changed the last time. It is $25.00 for a plane over 4,000 pounds. The Commission wants to eliminate the user fee and have only the landing fee at $25.00 per month. This will remedy the problem. Williams stated an air tax operator will be able to bring in one plane for one time and the cost will be $25.00. Ernst stated yes, if the plane is over 4,000 pounds. The cost will now be $25.00 per month instead of $25.00 per aircraft per month. Williams stated he will wait to see what the Commission does and review it again. Ernst reminded council the Commission is in need of one member. Williams referred to the applications included in the packet of Ron Holloway, Dan McKeirnan, and G. Ray Galliher. It was determined the position was an open category. Ernst suggested finding someone who is without airport affiliation as there are already two members who are affiliated with the airport. Williams offered Ron Holloway for placement on the Airport Commission. There were no objections from council. D-3. Harbor Commission No meeting, and no report. D-4. Library commission Swarner reported the minutes of the last meeting were included in the packet. There will be a volunteer dinner the week of April 26. Librarian DeForest stated childrens' book author, Paul Lewis, will be at the library April 22, 1993 at 7:00 p.m. D-5. Parks & Recreation Commission McComsey reported the minutes of the last meeting were in the packet. McComsey was not at the meeting. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES APRIL 21, 1993 PAGE 8 D-6. Planning a zoning Commission Smalley reported the minutes of the last meeting were included in the packet. Smalley reported actions taken by the Commission. Smalley stated the rules of the meeting had to be suspended until after new member Kevin Walker was sworn in, otherwise there was not a quorum. Smalley stated it is important to appoint the other needed member, as they are having trouble with making a quorum. Smalley reported the Commission stated their concern with RPM's beginning to look as it did prior to the City's initial discussion with the owner to clean up the area. Commissioner Geocke was in the audience and stated he has been watching the area, and it looks as though the owner is cleaning the area up again. Commissioner Bannock was in the audience and stated his desire for the Council to direct the Planning & Zoning Commission to review and amend the sign ordinance. Bannock stated he believed that portion of the code requires work to eliminate sign problems. Williams asked council for their feelings. Councilman Measles stated the ordinance was not written to cover everything that comes up. The ordinance allows flexibility in approving signs. Bannock stated he did not believe the ordinance allowed flexibility. Measles stated the ordinance allows for waivers: flexibility at the discretion of the Commission and Council. It was stated the Commission is still in need of one member. Williams referred to the application added to the agenda of Will Jahrig who is a member of the Harbor Commission. Swarner stated there was a problem with his attendance to Harbor Commission meetings. Smalley stated he recollected Jahrig was also on the cannery workers task force and did not attend any of those meetings. . Williams stated he has had objections from Council in regard to the other applications on file, i.e. Jack Castimore and Mr. Woodcox. Smalley stated Castimore has attended the last three Planning & Zoning Commission meetings for his own information. MOTION$ Councilman Smalley MOVED to bring to a vote the placement of Jack Castimore on the Commission. The motion failed for lack of a second. �J • KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES APRIL 21, 1993 PAGE 9 Williams asked if there were objections to Jahrig. Smalley objected. Williams stated he will look further for applicants. McComsey suggested an advertisement be published asking for applications. D-7. Miscellaneous Commissions and Committees Beautification Committee - Swarner reported the Committee met last week. A work session will be held in the Council Chambers next week. They will be discussing plans for flower beds and gardens. Perennials are being transplanted and they are working with Lynden Transport to bring the lilacs and rose bushes to Kenai. Williams was requested to send letters to Kmart and Fred Meyer for donations of flowers. Williams stated he has received $300 in donations for the purchase of flowers and supplies. Williams added he has opened a two -signature account at National Bank of Alaska in order that the money be held outside of City accounts, otherwise donations must go through the City accounts and a resolution would be needed to expend the money. Williams reported one $50 donation was made by check to the City. Williams requested an ordinance be brought forward in order the money may be used. Williams stated the checking account's signora were himself, Sharon Williams and Loretta Breeden. The checking account has been named as the Kenai Beautification Committee. Brown stated he does not have a problem with cash donations, however it would be fraudulent for someone else to cash checks made out to the City of Kenai. Brown stated there is a problem because the Kenai Beautification Committee is a part of the City of Kenai. Brown stated if checks are received from donors, be sure the checks are not made out to the City of Kenai. Measles suggested the account name be changed to Kenai Beautification Project. Swarner stated the Committee is also working on a design of an All -America City garden as well. Council directed Williams to write a letter to the Orthodox Church and state the City does not mow private property. I= B s Regular Meeting of April 7, 1993. Approved by consent agenda.

Brown stated not as yet, but they will be asking for a stamped note and follow up. Brown added Mr. Roberts has been truthful in his dealings before and he believes Roberts. Williams stated it appears Administration has no problem with the request. Brown stated if council approves, the approval should also include shifting the security of the property to the appropriate lot as indicated in the memorandum included in the packet. Brown added the security would be attached to the property on which Pizza Hut is situated. • KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES APRIL 211 1993 PAGE 12 MOTIONS Councilman Smalley MOVED for approval of the resubdivision of Lot 3A-1 of Baron Park Subdivision No. 8 to Dan Roberts and directed Administration to attach the security to Lot 3A-1.

Brown reported he spoke with the bond bank and counsel. He was told the interest rates have dropped a bit more. Brown believes it would be a good deal to refund the 1986 bonds. If Council moves forward, an ordinance will be introduced at the May 5 meeting and the adoption date would be May 19. The final deal will be put together between those dates. A purchase order will be presented at the May 5 meeting for payment to the bond counsel, who will be reviewing and advising in order for the refund to be within the city's ordinance. The call date will be changed from 1986 to 2003. Brown added the interest rate is so low it would be unlikely the city would want to call them. The actual savings would be $59,000. Brown stated if they leave the bonds alone, the call date will be 1996. Williams stated a few years ago Brown had discussed with council the possible manipulating of fund to offset the cost of the bonds. Brown stated he discussed doing a refunding on the cities books to put aside money to pay off the bonds, but did not do it because of IRS regulations. Williams stated if they choose to go ahead with this, the city's ability to call the bonds will be removed and that will put the city at the mercy of the bond bank for an additional seven years. The city will not be able to pay off the bonds until 2003. Williams added the call date is moved seven years ahead, but at a fixed rate and the savings will be $59,000. Brown stated the council must determine if they want to refund the bonds, which will change the call date to 2003, which will put the city in the position that they will not be able to call the bonds when they want to. The city will be giving up the right to call the bonds sooner and promising to pay the interest to the end in return for saving $59,000. Brown added that after 1996, the city may call any amount of the bond. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES APRIL 21, 1993 PAGE 13 Measles asked what the odds were for the interest rates to stay as low as they are. Brown answered very remote. Discussion followed. Brown stated if council moves forward now, but decide to bale out after the bids are opened, the only cost to the city will be to pay the bond counsel a nominal fee. Consensus of council was to go ahead and prepare the ordinance for introduction at May 5, 1993 meeting. b. Call 1980 bonds. Brown stated he discussed these with the bond counsel. Brown would like to call the these bonds because if they are called on August 1, 1993, $220,000 will be left and the city will be paying 8% interest. Brown recommended they be paid off. Brown added the bond bank will be calling other issuers and telling them it would be best to pay their bonds off as well. Consensus of council was to go ahead and pay the 1980 bonds off. N-11. Approval - Collateral Assignment of Lease, Salamatof Seafoods, Inc. to Alaska Commercial Fishing & Agriculture Bank. Administration had no objections to the collateral assignment.
