Substitute Resolution No. 92-4 refers to Set Net Drive and Set Net Court. Two letters were read into the record from residents of Set Net Court. They were: from Mr. Charles R. Wyatt ... Regarding assessment proposed against parcel 004940011 This parcel is located on the corner of VIP Dr. and Setnet Ct. with access via the driveway off VIP Dr. Since VIP Dr. is only road used by us or any residents of our house and the assessments were paid by us when it was paved I don't feel that the paving of Setnet Dr. adds to the value of our house and I oppose the proposed assessment. h . KBNAI CITY JANUARY 15T PAGE 3 �J COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES 1992 from Dana and Donna Schmidt... January 10, 1992 Re: Assessment District for Paving Improvements Set Net Drive. We recently purchased property on Set Net Court which was formerly owned by Peter and Mildred Crawford. We received notice regarding the proposed inclusion of Set Net Court on the assessment roles for the paving of Set Net Drive. Regrettably we had already scheduled a function on the night of the hearing so are unable to attend in person. What is not clear - is Set Net Court to be paved also under this proposal or are we simply being asked to support the paving of Set Net Drive? If Set Net Court is NOT being paved, it seems inappropriate and inequitable to expect us to pay the same amount as a person living directly on Set Net Drive - we will have gained little or no additional value and/or convenience. Thus we would STRONGLY oppose such action. If the proposal is to also pave Set Net Court, we would not strongly oppose it, but could certainly not be counted as supporters. We really don';t see the need or benefit. Thank you for the opportunity to comment. Walker stated he favored the original resolution as there is increased traffic on Set Net Drive, but not on set Net Court. Brighton stated that Administration suggested adding Set Net Court in order that it will not become an isolated gravel road. If paved, it will eliminate most dust, grading, etc. problems which are costly. Attorney Graves stated that all property owners would pay the same based on the square footage of their lots. • KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MI JANUARY 15, 1992 MINUTES PAGE 4 C-la, Resolution No. 92-4 (8ub8t1tute) - Directing the Continuation of the Set Net Drive and Set Net Court Paving Assessment District, MOTIONS Councilman Smalley MOVED to amend the original motion to favor the substitute motion C-la, Resolution No. 92-4 to include Set Net Court and Councilwoman Swarner 88CONDED the motion.

NOTSON: Councilman Walker MOVED for approval of Resolution No. 92-2 and Councilman Measles SECONDED the motion. Williams called attention to a packet of information distributed by Attorney Jeff Jefferson in regard to this resolution. Williams read into the record a letter received from Representative Mike Navarre dated January 15, 1992: Dear Mayor Williams and Honorable Council Members: I understand that at this evening's meeting, the Kenai Council will be considering Resolution 92-20 requesting the North Pacific Fisheries Management Council not to approve the Individual Fishery Quota (IFQ) management system until an economic impact analysis has been completed. The IFQ management system as proposed will quite likely have disastrous effects on Alaska's halibut and Sablefish industries, eventually concentrating fishing rights in the hands of those with the greatest wealth and financial advantages. Asking the NPFMC to delay . KBNAI CITY JANUARY 15T PAGE 7 COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES 1992 approving the IFQ proposal until an economic evaluation has been completed is a reasonable request, and t support Resolution 92-2 wboleheartodiy. For your information, I've included a copy of House Resolution No. 61, which I co -sponsored with Representative Cliff Davidson of Kodiak. It expresses the legislature's similar concerns about the IFQ management system. If I can be of any assistance on this issue, please feel free to contact me. Public Comments Larry Powers, Box 67, Kenai, AR - Powers stated he has a small dock in Kenai and that he strongly opposes the IFQ as it will curtail any unloading of fish in Kenai. The boat size criteria Will also cut out many of the fishermen in this area and allow the large boats from out of state to get most of the fish. Powers stated again that he strongly opposes the IFQ until something better comes. Powers stated that the entry does not have to be limited. The fish belong to.everyone, not just the people who have fished in the last seven years. Tom Wagoner, 4060 Primrose Place, Kenai - Opposed to the IFQ as it will hurt the small fishing boats. If the IFQ does not pass, another equitable way must be found. Wagoner suggested that limiting the maximum number of hooks and skates per vessel will lock out the big boats and will be better for the local fishermen. Wagoner suggested the City can do a lot if a CDQ (Commercial Development Quota) is established. A fish allotment would be doled out to local fishermen. Processing plants in Kenai are generally left out for the halibut fishery. The periods are either too early when the river is still ice bound or late in the summer after they are closed. A longer processing period could be developed using local plants if a CDQ is developed. Wagoner offered his help to the Council to pursue this type of approach. Frank Nutten - Nutten stated that he has lived on the Peninsula and in Alaska for 32 years. Nutten earns his livelihood from commercial fishing and halibut fishing supplements his living. Nutten believes the IFQ was developed to allow the large boats from Seattle to get the fish. Nutten is opposed to the IFQ. • KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 15, 1992 PAGE 8 There were no further public comments.

Resolution No. 92-5 - Supporting the Prince William Sound Aquaculture Corporation in Their Mission to Recommend to the Legislature That Salmon Enhancement Must Continue to be Supported to Assure Program Continuity, Growth and Development of the Economic Base of Our Community, MOTION: Councilman Measles MOVED for adoption of Resolution No. 92-5 and Councilman Walker SECONDED the motion. Publics Commenter Heather McCarthy - Public Relations Director of PSWAC. McCarthy stated that Harold Ferren is also in the audience. McCarthy stated that they have discussed this resolution in Seward, isomer, and Kenai which requests support of PWSAC in their pursuit to continue salmon enhancement. McCarthy stated that the organization was formed 15 years ago by commercial fishermen who wanted to assure good salmon amounts in the Prince William Sound. Their organization is like the Cook Inlet Aquaculture Association in Soldotna. Their Board of Directors include people from Whittier, Valdez, Cordova, etc. Many of their area's permit holders live on the Kenai Peninsula. 20 are from Kenai/Soldotna, 50 from Homer, and 18 from Seward. KENAI CITY COUNCIL 19EETING MINUT83 JANUARY 151 1992 PAGE 9 McCarthy stated that they have received support from Seward and Homer by passage of a like resolution. Swarner asked how much State money they receive. McCarthy stated that when they began their program they borrowed $20 million for construction of the hatcheries. They pay back $2 million a year. They have received small State grants. Operation funding comes from sale of fish returning to the hatchery and an enhancement tax. No operation money is received from the State. The loans will be paid over 15 years. The money loaned from the State is from an Aquaculture Loan Fund established in the 19701s. The money is disbursed as needed. The money is paid back to the revolving loan fund and reloaned. McCarthy believes that the Cook Inlet Aquaculture Association has also used this loan source. This loan fund has the best record for repayment of loans in the State. Toni Tomorlo - Stated that a lot of income for fishermen in the Kenai/Soldotna area is generated from Prince William Sound.

NOTION $ Councilman McComsey MOVED for approval of Resolution No. 92-6 and requested OMINOUS CONSENT, Councilman Walker SECONDED the motion. There were no public comments. Measles stated that he is unsure of whether a new prosecutor will have an effect on the case load. Measles stated that the throwing out of frivolous cases may be a 18 better solution. Williams cited the amount of shoplifting cases as one reason for the resolution. Measles stated that there should be a better way to handle the lesser offenses. • RENAI CITY JANUARY 15, PAGE 10 COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES 1992 Delores Garcia - Stated one of her children was caught for shoplifting merchandise amounting to $13 five years ago. The merchant did not allow her child to enter the store for one year, the parents were charged $100, etc. The store can take care of it and get their money back. It would have cost over $500 to go through the courts. Measles stated that there has to be a better way for the smaller cases, so that the State does not have to pay such high costs. Williams stated that the work load is very heavy in the Kenai court -- over 2800 cases per year. With the new court house, it should be a good time to add another prosecutor.
