Deputy Commissioners Saylor and Levi and members of their senior staff met with Councilmembers Monfor, Measles, Walker. Mayor Williams was also in attendance. Discussion was in regard to the involvement of the Department•of Health & Social Services in the Kenai Peninsula through grants, family services, health agencies, and youth services. Discussion involved the Mental Health Lands and the proposed building of mental health institutions in the state. The Public Health Services located in the Kenai City Hall was discussed and the loss of funding for the Forget -Me -Not Adult Day Care service. Both are in need of space to house their program. The Public Health office require expanded space. The Adult Day Care Program needs space in the immediate future. News of the Governor's cutting their funding was learned that afternoon. Saylor stated he will talk with the Commission director. Saylor stated there are no plans to enhance or enlarge the Public Health facility and move them to a larger space. Saylor suggested to ask for funding through the Administrative Budget or the Legislative route. Saylor also suggested that an arrangement could be made through the City and the State. It was added that the Governor likes to see community support. The City could contribute the land, operating expenses, snow plowing, etc. Brighton stated that if the City would contribute any of those to provide a State -run service, it takes tax dollars away from those people in the City needing roads, water and sewer, etc. Monfor stated that the Governor wants local government to take more control, however, municipal funding continues to be lessened. It is the local government who then must raise taxes to pay for services. Brighton asked if the group had heard any criticisms of the city government's relationship to grantees for which the City acts as a pass -through agency. Saylor stated that none were heard. The City's participation has been very good. The work session ended at 8:10 p.m. • u 4 KENAI CITY COUNCIL REQULRR MXZTINt3 JULY is, 1992 KENAI CITY COUNCIL C$KMggKg MAYOR JOHN J.

JOS Demaree - Joe's Laundry/Water & Sewer Service. Mr. Demaree stated that he purchased Peg & Roy's Laundromat in February, 1991. Demaree stated that he was told at the time of. the purchase that the property was hooked up to water and sewer. Demaree added that he has been paying between $117-119 per month for sewer service since his purchase. It was discovered that he was not hooked up to sewer service when the adjoining property (Spenard Builders) razed a building and was excavating the property. Williams stated that he was aware of what the Code requires, but that the property changed hands and Demaree was misinformed. Williams added that the City was in error in believing that Demaree's property was hooked up to sewer. Williams stated he �.'. would support a 17 month credit to Demaree. Monfor asked if there is a City or State policy that properties are inspected for hook up. Kornelis stated that person who constructed the building signed up for sewer and probably paid a. fee twenty years ago and continued to pay monthly charges all through the years. Demaree stated that they found that one well serviced about four different buildings. Through excavation, they found that there were no lines from the crib connecting to the City's sewer line. Kornelis stated that the City first required that property within 200 yards of a sewer line had to be hooked up. Then the State and City requirement changed that every property had to be hooked up. Brown added that this property was not included in the list of properties informed a few years ago that they had to hook up. There is no way to know if someone is not hooked up. Walker asked if Demaree received an as -built survey when he purchased the property. Demaree stated he has one, however he was not sure if it showed the sewer hook up. Brighton stated that if a property owner, who has had the work done to hook up to the sewer system, comes into City Hall and signs up for sewer service, the City assumes they are hooked up. paid the rate as if he was hooked up. Brighton Tasked he rwhat fethe previous owner comes to Council and requests a refund after finding that they were not hooked up. • KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JULY 150 1992 PAGE 3 MOTION Councilman measles KOiIND for the City to reimburse .for sewer cost he (Demarse).has paid prior to him hooking up to.the sewer..

Slone Letter - Kenai Congregate Sousing Extended Services - Clarification. Williams stated that they had before them a letter from Livingston -Slone with regard to the Kenai Congregate Housing. A faxed page 2 was received earlier in the day with Paragraph 3a, b, and c struck from the original letter and Williams requested Kornelis discuss it with the Council. Kornelis stated the original letter (from Livingston -Slone which was in the packet) and Item No. 3 on it, in the City's opinion, is not what the Council had offered Livingston -Slone. Basically, what Council offered Livingston -Slone was to go ahead with the increase, however they are giving a credit. They would charge the City a rate of one-half the normal rate. There would be a savings of $62,000. Paragraph 3 was about claims. If the City would make a claim, Livingston -Slone wants the City to use -the discount, dollar -for -dollar, to pay for the claims. Kornelis stated that it is his understanding that Livingstone -Slone agreed to $89,6000, but reserved the right to final claims, etc..on top. He discussed this with Livingston -Slone. Today they finally met. and retracted that paragraph. Now they are willing to offer the discount, but not as a match. Kornelis believes the faxed page meets the intent of Council. Item 2 (of the letter) refers to Council's request that Livingston -Slone finishes the job. The letter says the funding will carry them through to August 27. They are not guaranteeing to finish the job. Walker asked when liquidated damages start. Kornelis answered August 27. Kornelis added liquidated damages are $300-500/da , y but was not sure of the exact amount as he did not have the V KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JULY 15, 1992 PAGE 5 contract with him. Liquidated damages are not decided by a percentage of the contract. It is normally stated in the contract. Attorney Graves stated that Livingston -Slone is saying that they are not agreeing to provide any services in A-1. Graves added that his understanding is that they are saying what they will not do if it is not in the agreement. What the $89,600 will not cover. Theoretically, Livingston -Slone will get more money under A-1. They are not agreeing to do, additional work for the $89,600. Williams stated that if the City pays $89,600 and directs Graves to prepare a letter of agreement and send it to Livingston -Slone and indicate that the money is available and that in accepting the money, they are agreeing to finish the terms and work of the contract through the completion of the facility and in agreeing to do this, they accept the $890600 as final payment of the contract. They sign before the City gives them the money. If Livingston -Slone does not accept this, Williams is willing to fire them. The City could call in another engineer or the Building Inspector could finish the job. Walker asked why the Council would pass the resolution before having something from Livingston -Slone stating that they are willing to accept the City's terms. Walker added that the letter does not say they will complete the project. Their letter does have a lot of "intended discount offer to be.��Walker stated he views the letter as a counter -proposal, and not an acceptable offer. Walker stated he does not want to appropriate the money before their is something in hand from Livingston -Slone with which the Council agrees. Williams stated he views the letter as correspondence. Brighton stated that he responded to Livingston -Slone (a copy of Brighton's letter was included in the packet) and stated that their letter did not reflect what the Council requested. Williams stated that the Council has a choice...either appropriate the money or table the resolution. Measles stated that there are three weeks until the next Council Meeting. Delaying the resolution may create problems to get the project done. Something is needed to be done sooner than the next meeting. Measles added that he agrees with the original -- appropriate the money and then Administration would write an E • KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JULY 15, 1992 PAGE 6 agreement according to what the Council stated at the last meeting and this will put the ball in their court. They can accept or reject. If they reject, the City can run them.ogf. Kornelis stated they have lots of subconsultants. Livingston - Slone is a ways back on payment because the City has been holding payment. When Mr. Slone came to the podium he asked about being paid for additional scope of the project. Council said they if Livingston -Slone does something extra, they will be paid extra, if the Council has requested the additional work. Kornelis stated that is how he read paragraph A-1. Kornelis added that Item B actually goes along with the whole paragraph. B-1&2 indicate how they came up with.the $62,000. Kornelis stated he thinks they should have struck all of B. Kornelis added that he does not have a problem with what Councilman Measles stated. Williams stated that he has a problem with accepting Paragraph B- 1. Kornelis stated that they were making a clarification of what they had intended and what the Council wanted. Kornelis added that he thinks Livingston -Slone will take all of B out. Williams suggested Councilman Measles make a motion regarding Attorney Graves making an agreement letter to be signed. NOTIONt Councilman Measles MOVED that Council direct Administration and legal counsel to draft the City's version of the agreement, that the Council agreed to at the last meeting, to Livingston -Slone for completion of the project for the amount of 989 600 for services through the completion of the g p project unless the project is extended past the completion date for additional services by the City. Councilwoman Monfor BECOND$D the motion. There were no objections. Kornelis stated for clarification that the discount is 50t of the rates just for Livingston -Slone. Walker asked about the subcontractors. Kornelis stated that was never on the table. Discussions were always only for Livingston -Slone. Walker asked if bills would be received later from the subcontractors. Kornelis stated that was not in the original proposal and that has not changed. Walker stated that it is a not -to -exceed amount of $89,600, and he was sure that the Council will receive bills, for $89,600. • 0 KENAI CITY COUNCIL jULY 15, 1992 PAGE 7 VOTES MEETING MINUTES There were no objections.

Councilman Measles asked what the difference was in the original resolution and the substitute resolution placed before them at the beginning of the meeting. Brown started to explain when it was found a page of the amended resolution was missing. A short. break was taken in order that the resolution in whole could be copied for action. Graves stated that the resolution had been reviewed by the bond council and was approved by their counsel. Walker questioned the portion of paragraph five wherein the rental amount is discussed. No amount is stated. Williams stated.that.it is the objective to insure that the rent will cover the amount of the bond. Brown,. added that the amount of the rent was not stated as it is not known what the amount of the principle will be until closing on July 24. • KBNAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES Jt1LY 15, 1992 PAGE 9 Monfor stated 'she was .not comfortable with Section 5 and & wherein "the mayor" is stated to be authorized to.execute the paperwork.

A small reception will be held immediately after at the Airport Cafe. b. Airport eacurity - Williams reported that he has received telephone calls regarding break-ins at the car rentals between 3:00-5:00 a.m. at which time there is no security at the airport terminal. Car keys have been removed from the key drop box. Williams stated that the car rental agencies are requesting that roll -down gates could be placed at their counters or the janitorial schedule be rearranged in order that someone would always be in the terminal. Airport Manager Ernst stated that he had been approached by Bonnie Georber, who is the owner of one of the car rental KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JULY 151 1992 PAGE 15 agencies and is also a member of the Airport Commission. Ms. Goerber stated that a car was stolen from Budget Rental and from her business. In investigating the problem, they found that the key drop box was readily available and anyone could pick it up and shake•the keys out. Goerber asked if they could modify the drop box at their expense. Ernst stated there would be no problem. However, a drawing needs to be submitted first. Williams requested Ernst bring this information forward to the Airport Commission. Ernst stated he would, however their next meeting is not until September. Ernst stated that the janitorial schedule could possibly be altered, however there are only two hours when no one is in the terminal. Ernst stated he will ask the Police Department to step up their surveillance at the airport. Ernst stated that he will look into the matter of adding roll -down gates to the rental counters. Ernst asked if the expense should be the city's. Measles stated that he believes the City should investigate hiring a live security guard to be at the terminal between the hours of 2:00-5:00 a.m. Measles added that there is too much at stake in regard to vandalism, etc. Walker asked why the terminal is not locked. Ernst stated that historically it has never been locked. The bar is open until 2:00 a.m. and the janitors come in between then and 4:30 a.m. The first flight of the day is at 4:30 a.m. If the terminal is to be locked, keys will need to be issued to open the electrical doors in the front, the back doors, and shut off the power to -the overhead doors.

Clerk Freas is to notify the members. as PTI Proposal - Williams reviewed a proposal (a copy was distributed to Council at the beginning of the meeting) he has discussed with PTI in regard to donating City land to PTI in order that they move their local operation into Kenai. Williams also directed Council's attention to a memorandum from Finance Director Brown with regard to his proposal. Brown stated his JV concerns with regard to donating land to a competitive business. Williams stated he would like the Council's approval to continue discussions with PTI. Measles suggested that another means of enticement be made to PTI instead of donating land. Measles suggested water and sewer placed or paved roads. Williams stated that the land being discussed is that behind the Ring's Inn, along Marathon Road. The road has been paved and water and sewer was placed last year to hook the Fire Training School into the system. Measles stated that the only problem with the proposal is that PTI is a public corporation. The City did not donate property to K-Mart or Carr's. PTI is a corporation in business to make money. Measles stated that HEA (to whom the City donated property) is a cooperative and are not in competition. Measles was concerned with donation of lands to an entity like Enstar, who is not in competition, but is a profit -making corporation. Williams stated he is trying to bring them into the City. PTI would then be paying taxes inside the City. Measles stated that Council should review the proposal further. The City does not want to set a precedent that will come back later to haunt the City. Monfor stated that when she first came on the Council, the.City was beginning the FAA building project. Then two years later it was the HEA project. In both cases, the City took a lot of criticism from taxpayers. Monfor stated she would prefer the City do something else to entice them. Measles suggested that something could be done like the court house project where the City would take the equity and a long-term lease.
