Clarence Ladd - Smoking/Non-Smoking at Senior Center Mr. Ladd was removed from the Agenda upon his prior request. B-3. Donna Riddle - Bank Erosion/Angler Drive and the Kenai River. Ms. Riddle stated her address to be 1535 Angler Drive, Kenai, Alaska. Ms. Riddle stated that she and others on Angler Drive have been working to acquire a permit for establishing bank erosion stabilization for three years. They are now in a state of emergency because her home is nearly falling in the river. Riddles has spoken with her insurance company. They want a bank erosion permit before they will allow the moving of the house by the owners. Riddles has been to other offices to find the correct procedure. Riddles has been told that she must first get a declaration from the local government. Riddles presented Council with a draft "Declaration of Disaster$$ which she received through the Ombudsman from the Department of Emergency Services. Riddles stated that she is not able to acquire financing to move the house back without a permit or plan in place to stabilize the bank. Counoilmembers Smalley and Ovarner arrived at 7135 p.m. Riddles stated there are five families involved. Her home is the first to be affected by the erosion of the bank. Riddles stated that they must move her home this year. If the house falls in the river, she will be fined for polluting the river. Riddles suggested an improvement assessment district in order to stabilize the bank. Williams stated that the City has the ability to do an improvement district, however, the financing may not be able to be completed this year. Riddles stated that they need to move the house first and then stabilize the bank. Riddles stated that she understands that in order to get federal resource monies, the Governor must declare an emergency. Brighton asked if the monies from the State/Federal government are grant or loan monies. Riddles did not know. Brighton 40 referred to AS 26.23.020 which was cited in the Declaration of Disaster. Brighton asked what the ramifications to the City were in regard to the statute. Riddles stated she did not know. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 21, 1991 PAGE 3 Brighton asked Riddles if her house is insured. Answer was yes, however, the insurance company will not cover the move without the declaration of emergency. Brighton stated for discussion, that it would be cheaper to move the house because the cost of stabilization will be in the millions of dollars. Riddles stated that they will have to move the house anyway. Williams stated that he is not aware of any actions over the years for declaring an emergency regarding bank erosion. Williams stated he would like Attorney Graves to review AS 26.23.020 and investigate any ramifications which may affect the City of Kenai. Then, if there are no adverse ramifications, the Declaration of Disaster could be signed to assist that particular area and would not tie the City to matching funds. Williams suggested to Riddle that she speak to the Borough Mayor's office. The Borough is the local Office of Emergency Planning/Coordination Center. Williams stated that if it is deemed acceptable by Graves, he will sign the declaration and fax it to the Governor's office. Smalley suggested that the Municipality of Anchorage be contacted. They have had some experience with regard to the funding due to flooding problems. MOTIONS Councilman Walker MOVED to sign the Declaration of Disaster and send to the Governors Office if appropriate and Councilman MCComsey SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. 8o ORDERED.

Councilman McComsey stated that the bid was very high or the estimate was not accurate. McComsey suggested investigating the work again, stating that the work probably could not be done this year anyway. Kornelis stated that the other items included in the bid were for curb and gutter repairs, etc. around town. Brighton added that it was work that could be postponed until next spring. Kornelis added that he spoke with the contractor (Tri-City). Tri-City stated that his bid included $19 400 for the excavation. He received that cost amount from a subcontractor. Kornelis added that more excavation is required because of the poor soil. Tie bar and sand will need to be added before the sidewalks can be poured. Williams stated that Council should remember that they had a previous discussion regarding the value of the park land and Council placed a 11011 value on the land. Williams did not believe the cost of the project will be less in the spring. Williams stated that the real question is whether the work should be done on low valued land. Walks state water price r asked what the bid was for the original work. Kornelis d he did not know. The original bid included the gazebo and fountain. Walker stated that he would like to know the before spending that amount of money. McComsey asked if the sidewalks were built to the same specification s as the new ones are to be built. Kornelis stated probably not because of the lawn. They had more area in which to work. McComsey asked if the original sidewalks were built on sand and tie bar. Kornelis stated probably, but not a on corridor. Swarner stated that she was not ready to spend twice the amount estimated for the sidewalks. Swarner suggested out again in the Spring.

Some believed the monies received from the legislature should all be spent on the housing project. others felt that monies left could be reallocated to another project. Williams suggested that Council review and decide what to do. Carol Geordge, Design Committee Chair spoke to Council. Geordge stated that during the design period, the Committee was very cost conscious. Because the bid came in low, and monies are left, the Committee reviewed the plan to be sure nothing was missed and to make suggestions for upgrade for more durability, or less maintenance requirements, and esthetics. Williams suggested Council review the list and give a consensus of whether to do the work or not. The fallowing was decided: Item 1 - Cedar Siding - Okay Item 2 - Addition of six more living quarters - No Item 3 - Automatic doors - Okay (check price) Item 4 - Headbolt Heaters - Okay (check price) Item 5 - Kitchen walls - Okay Item 6 - Landscaping - No Item 7 - Patio Windscreen - Okay Item 8 - Radius corners/sink counters - Okay Item 9 - Third floor common windows - No Item 10 - Door grille - No- Yes - ewpw I- A"Wet /0M67/w. Item ll - Furnishings - No Architect's coordination/presentation trips - Negotiate Council decided not to go ahead with the addition of the six units because they wanted to insure enough contingency left for any additional expenditures which may arise. Brighton stated that the Council is in a political arena with this money. senator Fischer indicated to him that he would not support Ay reallocation of monies left from the project. Representative Navarre has indicated to Williams that he would.be willing to reappropriate $600,000 for some other project if there is a -need. However, no reallocation would be received without. the approval of the House and Senate. Fischer could create many problems if reappropxiation is tried. The proposed court house may not be looked upon favorably by the State if reappropxiation is requested. The City could lose credibility. Measles stated that Council is not looking to reappropriate at this time. They are mainly concerned about having enough money left to furnish the project upon completion. saws cxrr Auaoer ai, B710E 13 COUNCIL MEETING 1991 Walker stated that he would rather be under budget. Leave the design at 40 units. Smalley agreed. Council agreed to leave the design at 40 units and have a safe contingency. Measles added that Council understands that any change orders will come before Council for approval. Some.may not be approved due to costs. 8-9• Discussion - Change order No. 2/Sewer Treatment Plant, Explanation for Previous Discussion. Walker stated that he finds the cost figure unacceptable and does not believe the City should cover the extra money. Williams stated that the problem is partially due to Paragraph 13. There is a $70700 error that has been corrected physically. The inspector for the project, Mr. Kernan was in the audience. -. Kernan stated the contest is between G&S Construction and the architect, CHZMHill. Discussion followed regarding the rebar. Kernan stated that the engineer (Nelson) asked for the most cost effective procedure, either using #8 rebar or 06 in lieu of #8, but using two in each place. City gave a directive to the contractor, through the engineer, to proceed and the price would be negotiated. Payment does not have to be made at this time. Smalley asked if a motion was necessary to appropriate the necessary funds to complete the project and then pursue a financial liability to find out who was responsible for the error. Kornelis stated that the City directed the contractor to get #8 bars. If the directive had not been given, the job would have been held up. Kornelis suggested Council approve.the change order in the amount of $7,700 and then pursue who made the error. MOTION, Councilman Walker MOVED to table the discussion until such time thpt the question is resolved between the contractor and CH MHill. Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion. Kernan stated that he did not believe telling the contractor to •take up the extra cost with the engineer is a good way to proceed. Kernan stated the City should pursue. The City, • r 0 KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 21, 1991 PAGE 14 through the inspector, has given the contractor a directive to proceed. The contractor has complied by getting the product at the lowest price he can and doing the work for the lowest price he can. Measles stated that either the contractor or CH2mHill made a mistake. The City did not cause the problem. The purpose of the motion is to not approve payment until the cause is found. AttorneyGraves suggested Council not approve the change order for $7,700 and direct Graves or Kornelis to ask the contractor and design engineer who is at fault. Then Council can make a decision as to who the City may want to pursue. Measles suggested Council vote on the direct Administration to deal with it there is no settlement, the discussion again. RESCIND MOTION AND SECOND change order, fail it, and the best way it can. If will come before Council Councilman Walker rescinded his motion and Smalley rescinded his second by mutual consent.

Discussion followed as to who would be paying for the reinstallment. Brighton asked who the b1spector was. Answer: Bill Kluge. Brighton referred to Kluge's statement in his letter (included in the packet) which stated that he will bill the City at an hourly rate for any more work on the project. Swarner stated that her motion did not include money for Kluge. Williams stated that if Kluge designed and inspected the project, he is . supposed to spend time on the project.

They cut a swath from the pavilion to the parking lot. Swarner asked when the project will be completed. Brighton stated that he stopped the cutting. Brighton wants all the out trees cleared away and then Council can go in and identify what it wants done.
