H-R. SteVo Fick - Fishhawk Fisheries, Lease of Dock Space
#3.
Lawrence Grahamson was present and spoke in Mr. Fick's absence.
Grahamson stated that Fick had a question regarding the lease of
Dock Space 03 from the City of Kenai. A•lease was negotiated and
when Fick received the contract documents, he found that the
contract included a base price plus a price per pound. Grahamson
stated that during the negotiations of the lease by telephone
between Fick and Kornelis, only the base price was discussed.
Attorney Graves summarized what occurred. Graves stated that the
spaces were advertised for bid. After the bid opening, there was
one space still available. Kornelis contacted companies he
believed might be interested in leasing the available space.
Kornelis spoke to Fick. Fick offered $12,000. Graves stated
that it appears Kornelis and Fick did not come to the same terms.
Both thought they reached an agreement, but had understood
different terms. Fick still wants to lease the space, but has a
problem with the additional fee for the fish. If this concern
can be resolved, the other issues can be easily handled.
Question to the Council was whether they wanted to lease the
space for $12,000 only.
packet of information was distributed to Council at the
beginning of the meeting. The items Fick was concerned about
were his signing the lease as an individual; no second year
Option; paying the $0.0375 per pound for fish after 320,000
pounds have been unloaded; and, the tote does not weigh 1,000
-pounds.

Graham -son restated that the information Fick received initially
did not include the poundage charge. Kornelis stated that he
explained while they were in negotiations, that the final
approval must come from the Council. Williams agreed.
Kornelis stated that Fick does not have a problem now with
signing as an individual or not having the second year option.
Also, the tote weight is not a problem. The only thing Fick is
concerned with at this time is the poundage charge.
Swarner stated that the Council passed a resolution in June which
awarded the lease to Fick and it included the poundage charge.
Council stood by that resolution and made no change.

There were no public comments. Swarner stated that she recalled
from former discussions, that the intent is for the money to be
transferred to the General Fund where it can be used for senior
programs when senior program funding is cut from other source$.
Williams stated that he made comments that the money could be
used for chairs, upholstery, etc. The seniors should not have to
come back to Council for additional funding. Director Porter
stated that would be if all the apartments are rented, as much ass
$80,000 could roll over to the General Fund each year.
Williams added that because of that availability of money, the
Council wants a broader ability to control those funds. The
Council is concerned that monies could be used without Council
approval. Council will be able to approve the use of the funds
at purchase order approval (H-2). Williams noted that a future
Council can change the ordinance.
Swarner stated she would like a method of tracking the funds.
Brown stated that it would be done by an annual transfer and
would be a separate item in the budget. It is very simple to
keep it separated and tracked.
Measles stated that he prefers they keep the ordinance as it
appears. There's no need to track the money in the General Fund
as the Council will keep track of monies used at the Senior
Center. They are different cost centers.

motion.
Public comments:
Barry Nldri4go: Requested Council's support of the resolution.
They have a family waiting to build a house and.the organization
is ready to start building this year. Next year they plan on
building another home.
Williams stated that the assessed value of the property is well
below: the $lo-000 limit placed by the resolution. The area is
not well -suited for homes. Williams believes the building will
be a benefit to the City to bring the property on the tax roils.
Measles.asked about taxes owed. Administrative Assistant Howard
stated that a letter was received front the Borough -stating -the,
City paid taxes owed in 1971-�72. There were never any
assessments on the property. 'Brown added that the Borough thinks
the.City paid the taxes on foreclosure and the property was
deeded to -the City. The Borough and City have no record. Howard
added that the effective date of.the resolution,needs to be
changed to July 17.
Williamsremiinded Council that the organization will be carrying
the mortgage• The.property has been sitting empty for twenty
years. Measles asked how many other parcels fall into this
category. Howard stated there are not many foreclosures that are.

ten years old. Eldridge stated he researched the Borough records
and found two in Ahlstrom Subdivision and one other on Beaver
Loop Road.
Measles stated that they were assured that the taxes would be
paid including penalties and interest. Howard stated that she
has a letter from the Borough stating there are no taxes owed.
Measles asked how much in taxes would be owed if the property had
been on the tax rolls. Brown stated he discussed the question
with the Borough. They stated it would be difficult to answer.
They could use an arbitrary date and compute taxes as if the
property were privately owned. Brown stated that he did not
think it was the intent to pay back taxes, but to pay the amount
the Borough stated was owed. if it is Council's intention to
charge for the taxes that would have been owed as if property had
been privately owed, there will be a problem. It has been over
ten years and the amount could be substantial. The resolution
could be contradictory. That is the problem they have had with
the assessments. Brown stated that he decided that was not the
Council's intent. Brown stated that if he misunderstood, the
item needs to be readdressed.
Walker stated he does not support the resolution. Walker stated
that he does not feel it is in the best interest of the City to
donate land to private hands, even if the property is put on the
tax rolls. Walker added that the City is giving approximately
$13,000 in land away. It will be a number of years before the
property comes back on the tax rolls.
XONFOR ARRIVED AT 7 t 4 5 V. X 8
McComsey questioned that both lots will be donated by this
resolution, but the organization is planning to build only one
home. Brighton stated that the homes must be built within a
certain amount of time. Howard stated it is in the last
"resolved" and will appear in the quit claim deed as well.
McComsey stated that he does not like giving property away.
McComsey stated he believes it is an excellent program. However,
he does not like giving City property away.
Monfor stated that she drove through the area. The last building
done in the area she guessed, was five -six years ago. Monfor
believes that the subdivision will benefit from the program.

Graves stated he does not know if he can hold the bidders to
to their proposals until that time. Porter stated her concerns with
the tabling until the first August meeting. The building is to
be completed by August 25, she wanted to have the management in
place prior to seniors moving into the building. Porter stated
she is uncertain if the first meeting in August will allow enough
time for those people who are to manage the property to move from
where they are now living, etc. Porter requested Council table
the motion to the July 15 meeting instead.
Williams stated he had no problem with discussing the item at the
July 15 meeting. He will review the plan. Williams stated he is
not sure the management plan presented to the bidders is to his
liking. Graves stated that it does not matter who is chosen as
the manager, they will have to following the plan on which the
Council decides.
McComsey asked if the bid included a management plan. Graves
answered no, that the bid package included a fairly specific list
of duties.
Measles asked what the intended date to start the contract was.
Graves stated it was not specific, but as soon as possible. They
do wish to have the management move in prior to occupancy of
seniors. They will not be paying for management prior to the..
move -in date.
Measles stated he would like to review the management plan as..

included in the packet. Williams reported that he was contacted
by Grace Drilling after they received a copy of the fencing
proposal. Grace Drilling believes that they should not have to
pay for the cost of the fencing. Williams stated he was not sure
if Grace had a copy of the ordinance which allowed $40,000 to be
paid to Grace Drilling for moving expenses and $30,000 for
environmental assessment. Williams asked Brown if any of the
$30,000 was left. Brown stated that the funding lapsed at
midnight, June 30. There was about $15,000 not used for
professional services.
Williams asked Council what they wished to do. Williams added
that the City will retain the fence that is on the property from
which Grace moved. Williams stated that Peninsula Pence stated
that to move the fence now on the property would be more costly
than placing new fence.
Walker asked if Grace Drilling has documented their costs.
to Williams stated that the City authorized $40,000 for their
relocation and they spent it as they wanted. Measles stated that
the $40,000 included funds to move the fence. McComsey asked if
Grace agreed to that payment. Answer was yes. McComsey stated
that Grace Drilling should move their own fence or build a new
one.
No changes were made. There was no further discussion of the
matter.

KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES

PAGE 15
Livingston ISlone, Inc. is requesting an extension of services at'
additional.cost to the City. The letters describe the request
for additional funding of $89,600 and how that amount was
derived.
Slone stated the $89#600 is based on agreements.set out in the
letter of June 19 and reflects credits and discounts by
Livingston Slone, Inc. of over $62,000. Discussion followed
regarding the credits and discounts. Slone stated they included
contract areas, city -requested items and architect responsibility
gray areas, city gray areas, and gray areas between the City and
Livingston Slone, Inc. Shone stated that they do not want to be
placed in an adversarial position and want to continue their
services to the structure.
Swarner asked Kornelis if he has a list of the "gray areas."
Kornelis answered that he has a list of the construction change
orders and directives. Swarner added that she recognizes that
some of the items the City requested, however, there are some
that the City questions. She would like to see those on a list.
McComsey asked Slone if he was saying that they bid an amount of
money to do the project, and that money ran out on May 31. Slone
answered yes. Slone added the $89,6000 is a compromise. The
bidding technique was discussed. Slone stated they are
requesting $59,000 for additional services and the balance is for
extended services at a 50% discounted rate.
Walker asked how many of the DVCR's are due to specific errors in
design of the architect or engineering of the building. Slone
stated that the time prior to May 31, none. After that, none
also. Slone stated he has not reviewed them with Kornelis and
confirmed this. They have identified those items that may be
their responsibility and taken them off of the cost. .
Walker stated that based on Slone's remarks, if they take out all
of the errors, potentially, that they made, they missed their
estimate on additional services or related services normally in
these contracts, by at least 30%. If the estimate was missed by.
$30,0000, it sounds like they want to reconstruct the whole
contract. That would necessitate a re -bid of the project.
Missing by 30% isa substantial amount of money.
