Public Commontst
Hill Nelson - Wm. J. Nelson & Associates. One of the companies
who submitted a proposal for the work. Requested Council to
consider awarding the proposal to his firm because he felt his
proposal was the best proposal. Nelson suggested Council request
a work plan from the firms stating how they will approach the
project with the least amount of problems and cost to the city
and have an outside consultant determine which of the proposals
is the best. Nelson added a consultant would base the
determination on..past experience, work record, etc.
Nelson stated in preparing his proposal, he determined the
existing soils information for Thompson Park was'not complete
enough. Nelson stated he wanted to do some additional soils
41 investigation on Togiak.
Nelson stated four rd osals were received b the sit Three of
those proposals included soils investigation. The one which did
• KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
DECSMBER 15, 1993
PAGE 8
not include soils investigation was the one to be awarded the
contract. Nelson stated it is the City's prerogative to award
the contract and does not have to award it to the lowest bidder.
Nelson stated his proposal is the lowest priced proposal with the
complete work plan. Nelson added the City would not have change
orders later using his proposal. Nelson asked consideration to
award the contract to Wm. J. Nelson & Associates.
Smalley asked Kornelis if the original bids included soils
testing and to what degree was soils testing in the package.
Also, what is the liability for the city if there are
contaminated soils. Kornelis stated City Engineer La Shot
handled the proposals and would answer questions.
Nelson stated they were not looking for contaminated soils, but
for soil conditions related to construction of sewer lines. They
were not proposing a contaminated soil check. Nelson added it
was his decision to investigate the soils as it is part of his
service. Nelson stated he was not saying someone should have
told him to investigate or not. It was his assessment given the
information he received.
Jack La Shot - La Shot stated when he originally put the proposal
out he felt they had enough soils information. Later, with
consideration of the depth of the sewer, etc., he called for more
information to be in the proposals from the firms. La Shot
stated the request for proposals is fairly informal and he
thought he had contacted all the firms. Consequently, he found
he had not. One firm was not contacted. La Shot added if the
price of soils work was removed from the proposals, they would.
still be comparing apples with apples. La Shot recommended he
have the soils work done with city equipment.
Swarner asked what the difference was with the two proposals
without the soils costs. Nelson answered his price was higher --
$2,720. Williams stated there was an overall difference in price
of $4,603.
Williams added the Council was faced with a dilemma. Williams
added in his mind, the low bidder did not address the question
regarding Togiak Avenue. Williams added no one knows what is
under Togiak Avenue and how the project proceeds may hang on what
the soils are like under Togiak Avenue. Council should get the
best for the money. Council does not have to choose the low
bidder.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
DECEMBER 15, 1993
PAGE 9
Williams stated he believed Council should choose the firm who
will do the best work. Williams added he thought Council should
either throw out.and re -bid the work or go with Nelson and be
guaranteed the sub -soils will be reviewed and addressed.
Measles stated the Council did not review the bids. Also he was
concerned the resolution states "the award includes design,
design surveying, soils testing, and preparation of project plans
and specifications$" Measles added he believed that portion of
the resolution is misleading to the Council if the Council is to
award a bid that did not have soils testing included. Monfor
stated she felt it would be an injustice not to include
Tauriainen (the low bidder) because he may not have been
requested to add soils investigation.
Hoary Knackstedt - Engineer working for Mike Tauriainen, P.E.
Knackstedt stated he put together most of the proposal. He was
not told soils investigation would be necessary. soils was
discussed in his proposal. Knackstedt added all the streets in
Thompson Park were rebuilt in 1984. The soils there are
typically silty sands. He discussed their proposal with La Shot
and found out other proposals included soils investigation.
Knackstedt added soils investigation would be three or four
holes. It would cost approximately $1,200 for his firm to hire a
backhoe and would be considerably less if the city would do the
holes. Knackstedt added soil information and well logs are well
documented. He does not know if the other proposals included
soils investigation on all the streets. Knackstedt stated he -did
not think that would be necessary.
Williams stated he did not believe the City should do soil
investigation work. Williams added he believed the City needs.to
insure that work remains with the contractor.
Manninen stated he discussed the matter with staff. Staff
recommends awarding the contract to the low bidder, Mike
Tauriainen. Manninen added, notwithstanding Williams' comments,
they believe the city crews can do the soil investigation. This
was not a formal bid process and they did not mean to exclude
anyone from the process. Manninen stated his recommendation was
to go with.the low bidder.

MOTION TO AMEND:
Councilman Measles MOVED to amend the motion by deleting "soils
testing" from the resolution. Councilwoman Monfor SECONDED the
motion.
Discussion on the amendment: Williams stated if "soils testing"
is struck from the resolution it would become impossible for him
to support the resolution. Measles stated they cannot award a
bid with soils testing when their bid did•not include soils
testing.
VOTE ON AMENDMENT:
Measles requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT on the amendment. There were
no objections. 80 ORDERED.
VOTE ON AMENDED MAIN MOTION:
Measles: Yes Bannock: No Smalley: No
Williams: No Bookey: Yes Swarner: Yes
Monfor: Yes
MOTION PASSED.
Measles suggested Council address the soils testing before
proceeding. Measles added he is not in favor of the City doing
the soils testing. Measles added he would prefer the city
negotiate with Tauriainen for a not -to -exceed amount so that his
bid will still be the lowest bid.
La Shot stated Tauriainen has given him a price for no city time
and equipment of $1,400. Using City equipment and no personnel,
$780.
MOTION:
Councilman Measles MOVED that the Administration negotiate with
Mike Tauriainen to do adequate soil testing on Togiak Avenue
based on actual time and equipment charges but not to exceed
$2,000. Councilwoman Monfor SECONDED the motion.
Bill Nelson - Nelson recommended Council approve the motion.
Nelson added he believed the study needs to be done.

Williams stated at the on -set persons giving testimony have a
five-minute amount of time to do so. Williams added the motion,
as amended at the October 6, 1993, was on the table for
discussion.
Swarner stated she requested reconsideration of Ordinance No.
1567 because she was concerned not all property owners had
received the information regarding the public hearings. Swarner
added she now feels everyone has been notified and had ample time
in which to respond. Swarner complimented Clerk Freas for her
effort to distribute the mailings and time taken to find
forwarding addresses for those envelopes returned. Swarner
stated she appreciated Freas' diligent work and the inclusion of
the mailing list and notations in the packet.
Robert Cowan - Placed a map on the board with properties colored
in which he indicated do not want to be included in the TSH zone.
Stated he would be speaking for a number of property owners who
were not in attendance and some that were attending (Jahrig).
Cowan referred to the list of letters faxed to the Clerk this
afternoon and added to the agenda and stated he hoped Council had
time to review the letters. The letters all stated their
opposition to being included in the TSH zone. Cowan added there
are others in the audience, as well as the Petersens and
Stanfords, who have stated their opposition to be in the TSH
zone. Cowan stated he spoke with Jeff Jefferson and he is in
favor of a smaller area. There are other property owners who
have not responded to his inquiries. They have not taken a
position. Others are out of state and he was unable to be
contact them.
Cowan stated he is concerned this zoning will affect land values.
Cowan stated he was aware of several property transactions that
did not go through because of the zoning. Also, Clarence Ladd
has had problems in using his property as collateral with a bank.
Cowan assured Council he is determined to continue to resist and
will bring the question to the voters, running on a platform to
rescind the ordinance if necessary.
Monfor asked Cowan why he turned 1800 and why he believes the
property owners are against the zoning. Monfor added there is
more to the matter than property values. Cowan stated if a
property owner wants to stay in the zone, let them. Cowan added
the zoning ordinance is different from when he first worked on it

(the original TSH zoning. Cowan stated he believes the zoning
will affect the value of his land.
Monfor stated all the area there was Old Town. Cowan stated it
isn't anymore and it is too late to keep all the area as "Old
Town." Monfor disagreed, stating the area is steeped with
history. Monfor added the area is the City's "claim to fame."
Cowan added the voters may have to decide as to monies expended
on the area.
Smalley stated he understood Monfor's concerns, however buildings
outside the zone will still be able to qualify for preservation
funds. Monfor stated her concerns have nothing to do with
funding. Monfor added she has no monetary claim to the area,
only the history.
Will Jahrig - Stated he understood Monfor's family comes from
that area, but if something needs to be preserved, let them come
and take care of his property. Jahrig added the empty lots there
have stayed stagnant. The.Bicentennial Building was another
means of "doing in" old Town.
Monfor stated she believed people were being reactionary. The
zone will not tie up the land. Jahrig stated he tried to sell
his property, but was turned down because of the zoning. Bannock
stated there are buildings in the zone, built before the zone
changed, which would not be allowed in the zone now. Williams
stated the ordinance does not preclude a restaurant being built
in the zone. Williams added people are reviewing the ordinance,_
but not understanding it totally. Williams added he does not
think everyone looked at the document and he does not think the
ordinance would be that hard to live with. The time spent on re-
evaluating the ordinance by the Task Force, P&Z and the Council
was to have some guidelines for the area.
Bannock stated he believed the people in the area have spoken
clearly as to what they want their property to be zoned.
Sandra Vozar - Stated the bank will not lend money, etc. for
property within the zone because it is a historical zone and.
therefore non -conforming. An exception could be received from
the City, but that would de -value the property. Vozar.stated she
appreciates Monfor's concerns regarding her family having lived
there. They don't anymore. The property needs to be devdloped.
It cannot be held back. Vozar recommended cutting down the zone
size.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
DECEMBER 15, 1993
PAGE 17
Clarence Ladd - Stated he was not against the historical zone,
but it needs to be put where it belongs. Wants to sell some of
his property. Ladd stated Monfor at one time said she did not
want any Natives on the Council on Aging. Williams stated those
comments were not germane to the discussion and if Ladd did not
refrain from making slanderous remarks, he would have him removed
from the proceedings.
Karen Mahurin - Objected to Jahrig's comments because Cowan
stated at the beginning of the discussion he was representing
other property owners of the area, including Jahrig.
Mahurin stated she has lived in Kenai for 24 years and has been a
member of the P&Z Commission. Mahurin stated she does not own
property in the zone. Mahurin would like to keep the integrity
of the area and believes the area is the heart of the city.
Mahurin referred to Ordinance 1567-93 and stated it will preserve
and allow for growth in the area. The ordinance allows for
planned and selective growth. Mahurin encouraged Council to pass
the zone size as it is and get in place the historic board. With
the ordinance, it will be possible to combine the old and new
with controlled planning.
Dorothy McCord - Representing the Russian Orthodox Church and was
a member of the TSH Task Force. Questioned the validity of the
Cowan map. McCard stated the ordinance allows for tasteful
building. McCard read from her letter included in the packet
which discusses how the boundary was selected by the Task Force
and allows and does not allow. McCard stated the property owners
need to make an informed judgement. McCard urged Council to keep
Ordinances 1567-93 and 1569-93 as passed on October 6, 1993.
Roger Meeks - Was a member of the TSH Zone Task Force and does
not own property in the zone. Stated at first he believed in
what they were doing as a Task Force, but after discussing the
matter with property owners, etc. found the majority of those
with whom he spoke did not want to be included in the zone. .
Meeks stated those persons should have their interest protect and
he did not believe this is the way to protect them.
Meeks stated he sympathized with Monfor regarding her family,
however the area where her family lived has been developed. The
home is no longer there. Meeks stated there can still be a
historical town and tours can be conducted, signs can be placed,
etc. The looks of the history is gone. Meeks suggested

Macard - Stated there are federal tax incentives for property
owners who fall in the historical zone.
Kevin Walker - 311 McKinley Street, Kenai. Stated he does not
own property in the area. Stated he believed the zone is fairly
restrictive. Walker believes one person's definition of tasteful
is not always another's. The populace of the area have indicated
they do not want to be in the zone.
Walker asked Council and Attorney Graves if the matter is voted
down, if the property owners can apply for rezoning in groups.
Graves stated the Code gives specific procedures. Property

remarks made by Roger Meeks.
Goecke stated he appreciated Monfor's remarks, however that time
is gone. Goecke stated a smaller area needed to reviewed.
People look at the church, chapel and old buildings in the area
and that's all. Goecke recommended making the boindeal
boundary smaller.
Bookey asked Goecke if he was still comfortable

property and excluding everything else.

Monfor stated her vote will not have anything to do with her
family. Old Town is a major part of Kenai and it is more
important to her than the Monfor family property. Old Town is
what Kenai was and is. Monfor appreciates the feelings of those
who spoke. if she could vote for them, she would vote for a
smaller zone. However, there are more people involved in the
area than those who are property owners there.
Swarner stated she was still puzzled by people stating they

Smalley asked if Council did not propose an ordinance which would
give a TSH zone, would it automatically go back to P&Z without a
motion rescinding it to them. Williams stated it was Council's
request to have the ordinance come to Council. if Council
approves none of those proposed, it would be the one on the books
since 1986, which includes the Old Town area and excludes the
cemetery.
Bannock stated he voted no because he was on P&Z and the
Commission made their choice and opinion clear. Bannock added he
has feared a choice would not be made and the matters would be
returned to P&Z. A lot of time and effort has already been put
into the ordinances. If this ordinance had been in place when
Kenai Bible Church made changes to their building, including
siding, windows, etc. those changes would have been thought as
distasteful and not allowed. Bannock stated he does not think
history has been slighted. The Kenai Bible Church is the oldest
Protestant church in Kenai.
Measles stated Bannock made a good case why the ordinance should
be returned to P&Z. If one property is removed, then others
should be removed also.

the Task Force, P&Z, Council and people have spent a lot of time
on this matter. The Council wants to do the right thing, but not
everyone will be happy. Smalley stated he has concerns about
sending the ordinance back to P&Z.
Measles stated he also has concerns about that but the discussion
keeps coming back. The ordinance will change what has been in
. the TSH zone since 1986. Measles stated he has a hard time
justifying taking some properties out that want out. Either take
all of the properties out or don't take any out.

Sandra Vosar - Spoke for Vozar, Bay Arms/Cherrier and Ralph
Patterson. Suggested taking everyone else out of the zone
(following P&Z recommendation). She already has applied for a
rezone to take her properties out of the zone.
Graves stated there is a provision in the zoning code that her
application to rezone could not be approved for another nine
months. Graves stated he would not want Vozar to agree to this
compromise without understanding there could be a delay to any
rezone action.
Vozar stated she would wait nine months, but could not answer for
Jahrig, Anderson, etc. but they probably wouldn't have a problem.
(Vozar turned to Jahrig and asked him if he could wait.) Vozar
added if there is contaminated property, nine months won't make a
difference to a rezone. Graves stated he wanted to advise Vozar
of the possibility of delay.
Karon Mahurin - Reviewed action: A motion for reconsideration;
motion to table which was defeated; a reconsider of the tabling
motion; if the reconsideration fails, what will happen.

trying to protect the heart.
Williams stated the question was whether to send this ordinance,
using Plan C, back to P&Z for rezoning. If this motion fails,
the Council can vote on the ordinance or amendment to the

Measles stated the motion was already on the table due to the

moved for the reconsideration and found she asked for
reconsideration on the wrong ordinance. Swarner requested to
withdraw the motion for reconsideration. Smalley asked Attorney
Graves if Council votes down the reconsideration, then the

would be a clearer thing to do. Smalley called for the question.

October meeting. Smalley stated he was.
Williams stated Council would now vote on whether or not to
