ZENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MhY 1, 1991 PAGE 4 Loretta Breeden - Barabara Drive, Kenai. Ms. Breeden is a member of the Kenai River Board and has requested this resolution as an individual. If the resolution is passed, it will be brought to the River Board. Breeden also stated that like resolutions are being presented to the Soldotna Council and the Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly. Breeden stated that she is interested in guides on the river to be their legally and paying their fair share for the upkeep of the river. Breeden further stated that there have been comments from the general public and from guides requesting the passage of this resolution. There are many guides on the River in the summer, collecting fees, etc., that leave the state for the winter. She has been told that guides collect between $30,000 and $150,000 per summer season. Also, if Council passes the resolution, or does not pass it, Representative Gail Phillips would like a copy of the resolution faxed to her. Councilwoman Swarner requested that personal property tax be included in the resolution. Mayor Williams stated that personal property tax should be kept separate from the sales tax issue. Williams added that while in Juneau, he spoke with Neil Johanseen regarding this resolution and Johannsen is in favor of the resolution. Councilman McComsey stated he is in agreement with the concept, but asked how it would be enforced. Breeden stated that from the Borough's point of view, the only problem would be with sales made out of the state. She is asking for this to affect any guide doing business. If the guide cannot produce appropriate sales tax receipts, then the guide will have to have, confidentially, his IRS statements reviewed by the State or Borough. The guides will be qualifying by point system. Showing proof that they have paid sales tax generated from their business will be a prime factor in qualifying for points.

McGillivray stated that the letter inethes the packet from Dave Reetz (shop) covers the items checked out.

It will cover a large area faster and it will free up crew to work elsewhere. McGillivray added that it may be useable at the airport, depending on what needs to be mowed. It is not a brush mower. Councilman Walker asked how long it will be before this mower motor will need rebuilding. McGillivray stated he did not know. It had not been discussed. McGillivray stated that the Kabota tractor is about the same size. There was no trouble with its motor. The larger the tractor, the better capability to do the work. Walker stated again that he did not agree with spending that much money on a mower at this time. McGillivray stated that if three smaller mowers were replaced, that cost would be almost as much as this one machine. The costs of engine overhauls to the smaller mowers are expensive also. McGillivray stated that using "`'.:.. two or three mowers, the work cannot be done in one day. With this mower, he feels the work can get done with two mowers in one day. The mower •has a catcher also. VOT 1 Walker: Measles: No Absent Swarner: Yes McComsey: Yes Monfor: Yes Smalley: Yes Williams: Yes MOTION PA88ED, C-5.
