(Verbatim) MKENAI CITY 'AUGUST 18, PAGE 2 COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES 1993 WILLIAMS: The first item of business before us this evening is Scheduled Public Comment. We have Ms. Sandra Vozar ah, requesting the council to rescind the sale of Municipal Reserve property. Ms. Vozar would you please come forward. State your name for the record. VOZAR: My name is Sandra Vozar and I live at 1001 Mission, the Toyon Villa Apartments, Number 19, in Kenai. Could I see a copy of that as -built that you were talking about? MANNINEN: We have a transparency here. We'll turn that on so that everyone in the audience can see it too. VOZAR: Oh, okay. (speaking away from the microphone, looking at the transparency on the screen) You're coming in on, this is the main road right here. This is the drainage ditch or drainage structure for the c�ty.� And this is the outfall, the storm drain that goes down the bluff. (into the microphone) And um, this is the main drainage for all of Old Town. Um, I have some pictures to show you also. Ah, just this last week, I took pictures of the rain going down the drainage ditch. Going down the culvert that's there. And one of the things that concerns me, we put a bunch of riprap in there trying to hold back the ground from sloughing in. Riprap and concrete and so forth. I spent quite a bit of money on it myself out of our own pocket to have this riprap and this um, broken up concrete put in there so that we don't run into big problems with ah the drainage . I don't want to lose a big piece of my land now that I have an investment sitting right there in the RV park. Um, last um, week, um, Keith, or two weeks ago, the Mayor asked ah, Keith Kornelis about if repairs were done to this drainage ditch, if, how it would, how it would bother the ah, ah, flow of water and so forth. Well this drainage ditch drops about fifty feet over the bluff here. And the water comes down these roads, comes into this drainage and goes down the ditch and then down below, into the Inlet. And this pictures of it going into the Inlet. I believe what Keith said is that you did not need to, you can see this is the drainage, this is the end of the culvert coming out over the bottom of the bluff. And Keith said, well, we'll just put, put the culvert closer up the hill. Well, you can see, you can't put the culvert closer up the hill because this KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES AUGUST 18, 1993 PAGE 3 drainage has already cut a path or a swath to meet the lake, or to meet the stream below. if you cut it further up on the bluff, you're going to have to build quite a bit of concrete or do something there in order to stop it from eroding away the bluff • which this area is well protected from the bluff being eroded, but the culverts are way down below. And, also, if you do any modifications to that storm drain, and make it bigger or make it do anything like that, you're going to have to have Corps of Engineer approval because you are taking water from the road down the sewer drain out into the stream. So, if you start messing with any of that, you've got to get some more improvements, or, or approvals to do it. And, I'm concerned, ah, in reading what the Clarion said. The Clarion is saying that we all need to change the ordinance or make this sale right. There's nothing wrong with the ordinance the way it is. It clearly says when somebody comes into this city, to lease a piece of land in Title 21, 21 point 10 point 030, Applications. When you make out an application with every application in (8), the applicant shall submit a development plan showing and stating the purpose for the proposed lease, the use, the value, the nature of improvements to be constructed, the type of construction, the dates of construction as estimated to commence and be completed. Maximum two years. In parenthesis, construction is supposed to be done maximum two years period, amen. Whether intended use complies with zoning ordinances. Well, my point is the maximum two years. That's Title 21. Then we come over to Title 22 and it specifically says, Title 22 point 05040, Sale Procedure. (c) says the land can be sold when a lease, if the tract of land proposed to be sold is leased land where the lease sets forth the development schedule. The lessee may negotiate the sale of the land at not less than fair market value. If the lessee, current lessee, obtains its right to negotiate a sale only after he's leased the land for two years or the lessee has, to the satisfaction of the city manager, completed development as detailed in the development schedule. The reason that this was put in here was because if somebody came and leased a piece of land from the city, developed it within one . year. Didn't use the two years up. Developed it within one year according to his development schedule, he could virtually come into the city and say, "I did what I was supposed to do. I want • KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES AUGUST 18, 1993 PAGE 4 to buy the land now." And he would have the right to do it. But the very next section says, "If the tract of land proposed to be sold is leased land, without substantial improvements, then the tract of land may only be sold by outcry auction or competitive sealed bids." It's telling you, you have to do it this way or this way. That's if somebody comes in to you people, "I want to lease this piece of land. I'll lease it. Here's my development schedule. Shucks, I changed my mind, I don't want to do it: that way. I'd like to buy the piece of land. I want to buy it." He cannot buy it because he didn't do his substantial improvement on the property. Therefore, it goes out to bid to everybody in Kenai so we all have a right to buy that same piece of land. Not just one person just because they've walked in there and done this. That's not fair. It's not fair to the rest of the people of Kenai. And, to change the ordinance now, or make any changes in your peoples' wording on this ordinance is like shutting the door after the horses have already gotten out. It's too late. How much FAA land and how much land of the city is already gone? And it's good land. What's out there now? Just land that's not, that, that doesn't have much value to it? And, this is not a new subject by any stretch of the imagination to, to the people here. Somebody is watching how this council is operating. I received an anonymous fax. No sender's name on it. With the front page of the Clarion from December 5th, 1985. Who owns FAA land? Here's a copy of it for all of you. WILLIAMS: Well, Mrs. Vozar, that's not pertinent to this situation... VOZAR: Well, it is, because it specifically... WILLIAMS: ...Not it isn't. This is not FAA land to begin with. That article is eight years old. It has nothing to do with what's before us tonight... BOOKEY: That's right. SMALLEY: I wasn't on the council then. WILLIAMS: ...I'm not going to take the council's time o g g e t ...

And VOZAR; n as w®11. All right. I'm still asking for this this sale. is Council to rescind . cind 17 • KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES AUGUST 181 1993 PAGE 6 WILLIAMS: Mrs. Vozar, I'm going to make three statements and I believe they're, they're consistent with the thinking of the ah rest of the members of the City Council and if they aren't, I'll allow the council to ah, address each of them. First of all, the Council has expressed no desire whatsoever at this time to change the ordinance. So. I don't think we're going to address that subject. Second of all, I don't believe that any member of the council here intends to rescind the sale and I don't believe there is forthcoming a, a ah, motion of any sort to rescind that sale. Thirdly, and most importantly, this whole issue now appears to be a problem between two private property owners which does not, and I repeat, does not encompass any thoughts or actions by the council. It appears by this plat, and I say it appears, that there is a major encroachment on a private piece of property by another property owner. With that in mind, I'd say that there's no doubt, there probably will be some form of litigation somewhere along the line and because of that, this council will take no action and we will not discuss the matter when it's in black and white in front of us. I an absolutely surprised at that this plat, personally and ah, it bothers me that, and I'm saying this from a personal standpoint, not from the council's standpoint, but it bothers me quite a bit, to see you come before this council and try to flavor this whole situation with smoke when it's very, very apparent that ah, you're encroaching on someone else's private property here and ah, have done a pretty good job of it. VOZAR: Well, I can clarify that. We hired Stan McLane. He came out. He surveyed it. He stood there. When the surveyors came out, I couldn't believe where they put the stakes. I asked Mr. Wakefield, the surveyor, stand here and wait. Mr. McLane's on his way because I called him and told him where the stake was. I paid about thirty-five hundred dollars to have my property surveyed. When Stan McLane come out, at first he shook his head and said, "pope, he didn't think that the surveyor from Wakeland was right because when we had put our sewer and water lines in, there was a monument that had been moved. And then Stan sent his people over there. I asked him to please send his people over there. He stood right there and he sent his people over there and he came back and he said, "Your correct." That Wakeland was correct. That, and he said he apologized to us. He said your stick were right here on this point and that is correct. It is our full intent to move our entrance road over so that it does RENAI CITY COUNCIL MEIITING MINUTES AUGUST 181 1993 PAGE 7 not encroach on this piece of property. But at no time was it ever intended to encroach on that piece of property. We followed what we felt was our engineer's um, stake and so forth... WILDIAMS: Well, again, again I repeat the fact... VOZAR: Well, I just wanted to bring that to the record. I have one... WILLIAMS: Again, I repeat the fact that this is strictly a matter between two private individuals at this point... VOZAR: Okay. WILLIAMS: It has absolutely nothing to do with the city council. VOZAR: I have one more thing I'd like to bring out. I would like to see a way to satisfy or to settle this whole matter in my mind. Right down the road from it is the Mt. Redoubt Lookout. And right there at the sign, sitting right next to it, it says "dangerous bluff, stay back." This council is trying to get things developed in Old Town. It seems to me that this is a poor sign. You should see the condition of the sign and then, dangerous bluff say back. I don't understand why this council didn't keep the piece or the city keep the piece of land, or go into a transaction with the Swarners to purchase the piece of land back and then purchase their small piece of land back and let people that, where the Visitors Center sends, people down there all day long to park, that would be the ideal spot to move this sign to and park people on. That's just a suggestion. You can do with it what you like. Thank you. SMALLEY: Mr. Mayor? WILLIAMS: Yes. SMALLEY: I think the record should clarify that the deal with the city was between Mr. Swarner and Mr. O'Connell rather than the Swarners. WILLIAMS: That's correct. All right. Thank you very much for bringing this to the attention of the council this evening, once more. . • • KENAI CITY AUGUST 18, PAGE 8 COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES 1993 VOZAR: Thank you. WILLIAMS: If therels no further discussion of this matter, we'll, or if council has no further discussion we'll move on to public hearings. Seeing none, wefll do so. END OF ITEM.

Purchase Orders Bsoseding $1,000 MOTIONS Councilman Measles MOVED to approve the purchase orders exceeding $1,000 and Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion. Williams questioned the expenditure to Kraxberger.for the drilling of a test well. Williams stated he thought at the last KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES AUGUST 18, 1993 PAGE 12 council meeting they discussed a feasibility study to be done in order to decide the appropriate action in regard to wells, water treatment, etc. City Manager Manninen stated he met with Kraxberger, Kornelis, La Shot, and Clyde Johnson and they discussed the different options the city has. Manninen stated he asked Kraxberger if he knew of any areas where the water would not be colored and if there are records of where a well should be drilled in order to maximize the City's benefit. Manninen stated they discusses the area by the storage tank by the airport. That is the proposal before the council tonight. If council approves the purchase order, they will drill an exploratory six-inch well for the not -to -exceed price of $9,600. That price includes the $22/foot (300-400 feet), down time (while the water is tested) and take -down time. If good water is found, the well would then be re -drilled with a 10" casing at $80-100/ft. if another acceptable water source is not found, the feasibility study will then be done. Manninen added if something was not started this year, it would be next year before any drilling could be done. Manninen stated if council does not agree with this procedure, they will go ahead and order the feasibility study. If good water is found, the cost will be minimal for the drilling, etc. compared to placement of a water treatment system. VOTE: There were no objections. 00 ORDERED. H-3. Discussion - Change Order No. 9 - Kenai Courthouse/G&S Construction - $13,454.00. City Manager Manninen referred to memorandums included with the change order material in the packet. Manninen explained the first memo is not in reference to the change order. However, the change order issue is similar. Manninen added he had had some questions that he discussed with staff at a meeting on Monday. His questions were why should the city pay the difference and is the work due to the engineer's faulty design. Manninen stated his questions were resolved after the staff meeting. Manninen explained the contractor and engineer have accepted partial responsibility in the $13,454 change order claim. 40 Manninen further explained if the engineers had designed what is there now and it had been included in the bid as it is now, the O • KENAI CITY AUGUST 18, PAGE 13 0 COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES 1993 cost would have been more than what the City will pay for the work in Change Order No. 9. Manninen stated he does not feel comfortable with this arrangement, but the engineer and contractor are absorbing the extra cost and the City is getting a better building. Manninen stated it is his recommendation to pay Change Order No. 9 as requested. Brown stated the $13,454 will be paid from airport monies because the loan monies have been used. There is no contingency money to make up for any further costs. Any additional costs for this building will come out of airport funding. There are no contingency funds because of the soil contamination costs. Brown added there is a possibility some of these monies will be recovered after the soil contamination litigation is completed. Kornelis stated when the contaminated soil costs are removed, cost for the building is $6,477 less than the original bid. Less than 1% of the contract has been.used for change orders that do not relate to contaminated soils. Kornelis stated the architect and inspector of the job were in the audience if Council had questions. Councilwoman Monfor asked for an explanation of "on -site water.'$ Kornelis explained they original design included heated water at sinks for hot drinks. It was decided that individual hot water taps would be placed at sinks for that purpose. Monfor asked about the paving and plants. Kornelis stated trees, etc. were planted all around the building. Those that were deleted, were credited to the Parks & Recreation Department. They planted plants on city properties. Kornelis added the paving will commence next week. Seeding should begin tomorrow.
