Mr. Kiel introduced himself as the Head Hockey Coach at KCHS, a volunteer KPHA coach and representing various user groups of the ice rink. Mr. Kiel believes that there is an assessed need and lots of perspectives for the possibility of building'of an ice rink in Kenai. There is a lack of ice time available for user groups at the Soldotna Ice Rink, Mr. Kiel distributed a packet of information, letters of support, etc. to all the Council Members. Also, a packet of information was distributed to the Mayor which included those letters of support, plus petitions with adult signatures. At this time there are over 400 signatures of adults' 18 the pity of Kenai on the � re has een lots of years or older) from active interestfrom users the N kiskiarea as Well. are nearly 100 signatures on 1 There petitions petitions are still, available pfor tsifrom that area.

All age levels of students are interested in having another activity place in the winter. He has received signatures from 250 students from four to five Kenai area schools. Mr. Kiel stated that the public concern is the size and cost of this type of project. There opinion is that the facility should be a facility somewhat smaller in respect to the Sports Center and less cost. Approximately $2 million. Mr. Kiel stated that the City is well on its way to receiving support of this type of project. Mr. Kiel stated that the packets include letters of endorsement from the Denali Figure Skating Club, Boy's & Girl's Club, Morris Redford/MicMac Club, Rusty Blades, High School Booster Clubs (4), etc. Also, Mr. Kiel read a resolution in support of the project from the KPHA. Mr. Kiel stated that ice time now has children skating at 5:30 a.m. This is very hard for participation for the Nikiski area. Mr. Kiel stated that the KPHA has done a study which shows how their Thanksgiving Tournament affects the areals income. Mr. Kiel believes that this type of project will make a profit. Mr. Kiel and those he represents are asking the Council to investigate and devise a plan of action and make it available to the public and to work with them (user groups) to build such a facility. Smalley asked how much money the KPHA study states was brought into the area. Mr. Kiel estimated it in excess of $100,000 which is from motels, food, tournament fees. They turn down teams for the tournament due to lack of ice. Williams stated that some members of the Council and public have been looking into the possibility of building such a facility for some time. They are very concerned about the cost. There are grant monies sometimes available, however they are hard to be awarded. one possibility is to split the cost of such a facility with Nikiski or the Borough and maybe the State with the City of Kenai. The City of Kenai may be able then to furnish the real estate. If the facility would cost $1.75 million, a one mill increase in property tax may have to be assessed. The budget will be affected if the mill rate is increased. This would increase the tax on a home about $100 per year. A bond proposition will need to go before the voters. The voters will have to be convinced that the facility will benefit the whole community. Williams stated that he is waiting on information • RBNAI CITY COUNCIL MSBTINO MIli0TS8 JONB So 1991 HA88 4 from Holmsten Ice Rinks regarding costs, and types of rinks Williams believes that a preliminary cost may be $2.75 million. Monfor asked when a resolution, etc. needs to be passed to put a proposition before the voters in October. Williams stated that the bond attorneys need to be consulted as to how much time it will take. He is trying to set up a meeting now regarding a revenue bond. Monfor requested information for the last meeting in July. Williams stated that the question needs to be answered, whether they feel a bond issue will be successful or approachable. It may take one to three years to get grant monies. If a bond issue is passed, a facility could be built and in use by next fall. Williams stated that bond issues in the City of Kenai have been hazardous. Smalley stated that according to the information of the income to the City of Soldotna from one tournament, the City could yield one-half million dollars from five tournaments. The business community could make quite a profit from such a facility. At a call of hands, it was approximated that 40 people in the audience were in support of such a facility. Carla Shervanick - Stated there would be a savings in gas to get to practice. Also, a savings of approximately $300 per weekend from not traveling to Anchorage for tournaments. Williams suggested that if a bond was received, there would be an increase in the tax rate. If the revenue exceeds the operating costs, the bond may be retired early. Walker asked the audience if anyone was not willing to pay an increased 1.5 mills in tax. There were no hands. Walker suggested to continue forward with the investigation. Mark Hail - Stated he has six children playing hockey. His family spends a'great deal of time at the Sports Arena in the winter. One of his sons received a scholarship to play hockey. Williams stated again that the preparation of a bond question for the October election will be investigated. There were no objections from the Council. Monfor suggested raising the sales tax by $.01 so that anyone shopping in Kenai would be paying for the facility, not just property owners.

BRnK s 8: Z 0 poll* BACK TO ORDER: 9930 p.m. B-2. Jack Brown - Request for Resolution of Support or Letter of Non -Opposition to Nikiski Incorporation as a First/Second Class City. Assemblyman Hodgins spoke to the Council. Assemblyman Superman was in the audience. Hodgins stated that they were requesting a letter of non -objection or resolution of support/non-objection to the Nikiski incorporation as a second-class city. A draft resolution was included in the packet. It is part of the Community and Regional Affairs process to have letters of non- objection/resolutions from neighboring communities. They will be traveling to Tyonek and Beluga Bay to request the same. They wish to form a second-class city/home-rule city. In order to be a first-class city, they first must be a second-class city. They intend to form the least obtrusive government as possible. The catalyst for incorporating is the Boroughs investigation to dissolve road service areas and forming one service area. They feel that would take away local control and they would not get value of their tax dollars. The Borough is also investigating the dissolutionment of fire service areas. Their city would retain only the road, fire and recreation areas. Boundaries have been discussed. At this time they are considering taking in the fire service on the Tyonek side and Nikiski area, approximately 600 square miles of land. Their biggest hoop is the Nikiski residents. A generic budget and narrative were included in the packet. Hodgins stated further that no specific services are needed to form as a second class city. They are starting with fire, roads and recreation. other services will come as needed. The only municipality affected by their incorporation will be the Borough. This proposed resolution has not been brought before the Borough as yet. Mayor Gilman is to bring a resolution forward to the Assembly. Williams asked if the Borough will try to make up any loss of municipal assistance from the State by increasing taxes. Hodgins R '. • R8liAI CITY COUNCIL ld1gTIN} M=NUTL8 JM so 1991 MR. 7 stated that he has discussed this with the Bo Director.

Kornelis stated that they are required to have one parking space per unit. He does not know if there will be enough money to pave the whole parking lot.

MOTIONI Councilwoman Monfor - MOVED for approval of Ordinance No. 1436 91 and Councilwoman Swarner BECONDFD the motion. KMI CITY COUNCIL XMING MINUTES ion so 1991 BAGL 10 Comments from the general publics Lt. Patton, Salvation Army - The newspaper states that the budget does not address social needs. He is representing the people of low income of the Kenai area. The Senior Housing project is a social concern. Ordinance 1440-91 regarding the Council.on Aging is a social concern. Patton stated that with the increase demand on social agencies, the City of Kenai needs to address their involvement. Social agencies can better apply for grant funding if they have a governmental group involved. The needy pay a large amount of sales tax and income tax. A percent of the budget should be addressed to getting grants to funnel into social agencies. A city government has more leverage to get grants. Williams stated that the Senior Citizen Center receives funding through pass -through grants. All their monies are pass -through grants. Patton asked if the City would be available to get grant monies for other social agencies in the community. Williams stated that there are more resources than the City of Kenai. Patton stated that was true, however, a large portion of the budget comes from sales tax. The poor pay a large amount of that sales tax. derry Sparks, Beautification Comaittoe - Gave an update on the Memorial Park, stating that there are number of spaces to be purchased or have been purchased, leaving only two. -three available for purchase. More spaces and more sidewalks need to be placed in the park. - Kathy Noun - Ms. Heus is the chairperson of the Library Commission. Ms. Heus requested amendments to the budget to allow Sunday openings at the library and a change in the salary of one of the workers to be paid more when the librarian is out of the building. She supports both requests. If the Council cannot work this into this year's budget, she suggests they investigate it further for another time. The service of the library is not always in numbers. The library is of extreme importance to the community. She hopes that the Council will support the need for Sunday openings and the part-time position needed to have those openings. Also, please support the upgrade of the personnel, .

Councilwoman Swarner asked Finance Director Brown if there is another department in the City where all other pay ranges are the same and how is an acting supervisor designated. Brown stated that there is not a similar situation with all other people in one range. Walker stated that it is similar in the Fire Department and Police Department. Walker stated that this was discussed at a work session and that there are similar problems elsewhere. Brown stated that dispatch has a supervisor at a Range 11, who is not a department head. When that supervisor is out of the building all the people left in dispatch are one range. Walker asked if the cage is similar, would not any person left "in charge" also be able to claim this type of increase in order to be fair. Brown stated that they can ask. If a supervisor leaves the building for a few hours, the supervisor can appoint one of the remaining (who are the same range) to be "in charge." Swarner stated that the Library has one department head and everyone else is one pay range. No department head should have to be working six days a week. Measles asked what happens when the librarian has an emergency or is on vacation.

Williams reminded Council that at the work session where this was discussed, it was proposed that the City continue the assistance to the Bicentennial to January 1, 1992, coupled with introducing a bed tax on June 19 with sunset language to be included by January, 1992. Monfor added that this request needs to be addressed in order that the advertising be done by September. Sue Carter, Executive Director of the KBVCC stated that the budget distributed to Council this evening, was requested by Mayor Williams. Carter stated that in order that advertising 40 appears in spring publications, the purchase of the advertising must be done by September. They are requesting $10,000 in order to do this.

Williams stated that he had a discussion with Mr. Gunderson (writer of the letter) about the facility. Gunderson stated that he has met with the intergovernmental agencies. Gunderson's letter states that the design would be permissible if three tasks are accomplished: 1) quantify demand; 2) establish that this is the best site; and 3) complete an environmental assessment to answer agency questions prior to submitting the Corps permit application. The approximate cost for this is $80,000. Williams added that if they spend the $80,000, the permit still may not be approved. Walker stated that he is a proponent of the boat launch.

Williams stated that the legislature has.appropriated $100,000 for a study to determine whether the Kenai River has reached the maximum use factor. Also the drift fishery and amount of motored boats/guides may make a difference. Williams suggested that perhaps Council should wait until the study is completed. The City should have a representative on the Kenai River Management Board to track the study. The closing of Cunningham park was discussed briefly. Williams stated that if they close Cunningham Park they may not be able to reopen it. � Walker suggested that maybe it should be closed before someone gets seriously hurt.

Williams added that he is not aware if a recent look has been taken to designate potential areas for tent camping or whether the City should establish a very rough area designated as tent camping. Monfor suggested that Parks & Recreation make it a discussion item at their next meeting. It was stated that the Parks & Recreation will not be meeting through the summer. However, McGillivray stated that they will meet if there is an item to discuss. Williams asked Attorney Graves to review the Code to see if the RV parks can lawfully have tent camping.

Councilman McComsey 8ECONDED the motion for discussion purposes. Williams stated that an error was made by the engineer when calculating the amount of concrete needed. The engineer calculated for an amount to cover the wrong size heating pipe. Swarner asked who is the mechanical engineer who did this portion of the design work. Bill Nelson (in the audience) stated he did not know. Williams stated that the floor should be thicker. Swarner stated that it was the engineer that did not make the right calculation. • RMMI CITY OOONOIL NB8TIN9 ![IllOi'8B JO11A 8o 1881 pU6E 30 The engineer should be paying for the extra cost. Swarner added that she does not want to see a change order when it was the engineer's error. Walker stated he is concerned about the amount of the contingency will be used by these two change orders. Walker does not support the change order. Kornelis stated that this is not a contractors error. If the concrete was stated in the bid specifications to be 1/2" thicker, the contractor would have bid more money for that portion of the bid. Even if Council decides to obtain these extra monies from the engineer, the full amount of the money will not be able to be obtained. This amount has nothing to do with the engineer. Bill Nelson stated that he was not at the meeting because of this issue, however, he has spoken with the architect. Nelson stated that it is not a question of whether the floor will work or not without the extra 1/211 of concrete. However, it is increasing the margin of safety. The amount of concrete has been decided on by trial and error in the industry. These types of radiant heat systems are tried and true, but are not used in 904 of construction. The architect is recommending to increase the City's margin of safety by adding the concrete. Smalley stated that this should have been considered at the time of bid. Williams stated that the engineer did not know the difference between OD and ID pipe. With this type of heating system, if the concrete is too thin, the floor will crack. Walker stated that he agrees the concrete needs to be there, but the cost should come out of the engineer's pocket. Walker does. not support paying this. Williams stated that they are walking into a trap. The contractor needs to pour concrete and needs to be paid for his work. Smalley agrees with Walker. Smalley suggested pouring the concrete and sending a letter to the engineer demanding.payment for extra costs. Kornelis stated that he is not sure it is the engineer's fault.

Williams stated that he hopes -that next year the • EENAI CITY COUNCIL 118ffiPING MINOT88 JONB 51 1991 YABH 35 administration will come up with ideas and gather ideas from brokers with better ways of doing this. There is no room for competition in the insurance business. Brown stated that the City went to bid for selection of property and liability insurance. Administration does not want to do this with health insurance. Employees want to know what they are getting. With broker selection, you cannot do that. One is an employee benefit, the other is not. MOTION: Councilwoman Swarner MOVED for the City to participate with the Blue Cross Best Care Plan for Fiscal Year 91-92 and Councilwoman Monfor SECONDED the motion. Councilwoman Swarner requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. Williams objected to unanimous consent, and stated that he should probably abstain from voting as well. Williams stated that he is concerned over the spectrum of things. There are many things he does not understand about the insurance business. However, he has been approached by the local insurance community stating they are not being given an equal opportunity to bid. Williams stated we will abstain from voting and asked for a roll call vote. Smalley asked if the reason for abstention is because of a conflict. Graves stated that under the Code, a reason must be given for an abstention. Williams stated that quite a bit of the complaints he has received (not all of the complaints) have come from Last Frontier Insurance Company where his son-in-law is an employee and who has been working on this policy. For that reason, Williams stated he would abstain from voting because he did not want to vote on something that his view may have been skewed.
