XTW B: SCHEDULED PUBLIC COMMENT
B-1. Shirley Roberts - SouthCentral Air/Airport Paid Parking
Problems,
Ms. Roberts stated concerns SouthCentral Air has with the short-
term parking at the airport and the consequences the weather
plays in the system. Roberts stated that often, weather will not
allow planes to land at the airport. Passengers who thought they
would return to Kenai in plenty of time for parking in the short-
term area, may find their vehicles towed because they have not
returned in time due to the weather conditions. Roberts asked if
any of the pay parking rules have changed.
Airport Manager Ernst stated that the rules, since inception of
the plan, have remained the same. If a patron has paid too much
for the time that they park at the airport, they receive a
u voucher for the overpayment which can be used another time. They
are working on the problem if they have not paid enough. Ernst
stated that at this time a warning is placed on the windshield.
A system for citing underpaid patrons is being discussed. At
this time, patrons are on an honor system to remit underpaid
amounts. No one has been towed from the long-term parking area.
Ernst stated that at this time, the policy for the short-term
parking allow cars to not be towed if the Kenai weather is down
and the flights cannot land. Roberts stated that sometimes the
Anchorage weather is down and Kenai is okay. Ernst stated that
if Council would like to change the policy it is their
prerogative, however, more changes may be requested for when
Homer, Seattle, or Fairbanks weather is down.
Roberts requested that a voucher be provided by SouthCentral Air
for the City showing that a passenger had intended to arrive in
Kenai and whether the weather did not allow them to land when
intended. Roberts stated that their reservation system would
show whether the person intended to arrive before the 3:00 a.m.
cut-off time.
Discussion followed wherein Monfor and Swarner stated they did
not feel that the passenger should be punished if the weather did
not permit their planned return to Kenai. Ernst stated that at
this time, the towing company goes to the airport at 3:00 a.m.
If there are any cars in the parking lot, they are towed. If
Council wants the towing company to check on weather conditions,
it could be requested, however, Ernst did not know if the FAA

weather service would provide that information. Roberts stated
that their operations office is open 24-hours a day and would
provide that information.
Ernst stated that if Council requests he will discuss this
problem with the other airlines and bring the information back to
Council. Williams suggested having the towing company mark the
tires of cars left and giving them a grace period.
ighton
suggested that if the weather is down at either point(Kenaior
Anchorage), a 24-hour grace period be given to the
Smalley suggested that it could be the airlines responsibility to
notify the towing company that the weather is down and their
passenger's car should not be towed.
Roberts stated that SouthCentral Air requires more visibility.
than the other airlines and they have the latest flights. They
would know first of any weather conditions keeping passengers
from returning.
MOTIONS
Councilwoman Swarner MOVED to accept the City Manager's
suggestion for a twenty-four hour grace period and urge the
airlines to contact the towing company if the weather is down.
Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion. There were no objections
to the motion. 00 ORDERED.
Williams stated that this method can be tried for awhile and see
how it works out.
B-2. Pete Mysing - Representing Ron Yamamoto regarding
Council's protest of Little Ski-Mo's Liquor License
Renewal.
Mysing stated that he represents Ron Yamamoto, owner of the
Little Ski -No. The City and Borough filed letters of protest
with the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board due to unpaid taxes.
ABC granted the protests and the license was not renewed.
Yamamoto filed an appeal.
The Borough has now found that they left the property on which
the Ski -No sits off the tax rolls in error. Taxes owing on that
property are approximately $60000. In discussions with the
Borough, Yamamoto said he would pay the amounts owing, next year.
Upon payment of taxes owed on the properties listed on the letter
of protest, the Borough has now removed their protest.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
NOVMWER 6, 1991
PAGE 4
Mysing stated that the taxes on the third account (Ski -No
property) are still owing. ABC does not know how to handle the
problem because the City has not lifted its protest. Mysing
requested a letter from the City be sent to ABC indicating that
Yamamoto is in full payment of the amounts listed in its protest
letter. Mysing believes that will allow the renewal of the
license. Mysing stated that the third account amounts owing will
be resolved by next year (for the 1992 renewal). Mysing stated
that they would like the City to follow through with its
statement in its protest letter that when the taxes owed on the
properties listed in that letter are paid in full, the protest
will be removed.
Swarner asked where the property is on the third account.
answered that it is theYamamoto Mysing
p
Attorney Graves stated that Yamamoto isowings$5,500. theCity,
taxes are paid. It was the Borough's error, however the Kenai
Municipal Code mandates the protest. To approve, the Code
requires that a finding of fact must show that all obligations
are current. They are not all current.
Monfor stated that all obligations listed in the letter are
current. If the borough had not discovered the mistake, the City
still would not know and would have thought Yamamoto is now
current. There is nothing before the Council that states that
$5,500 is owed. Smalley asked if it would be appropriate for the
City to draft a statement to the fact that the obligation of May
2 are brought up to date based on the letter, not waiving or
amending Code on the other obligation. Graves stated that ABC
will ask the City if it will lift its protest. Swarner stated to
the two accounts (listed in the letter of protest), yes.
Williams stated that the bureaucratic system erred and brought
Yamamoto here. Regardless of the Code. Williams stated that he
is not sure that the City knows, officially, that Yamamoto owes
the money. Williams stated that he thinks the protest should be
lifted.
Measles stated that a letter withdrawing the letter of protest of
May 2 could be sent. Measles does not believe that would
Jeopardize the Code. Williams stated that the City has no
knowledge of the area not covered. Graves stated that the
records are in his office and suggested he go get them. Williams
stated that they did not want to see them.

Council addressed at their last meeting with regard to extension
requests. Monfor added that she will not support the change
order until she knows that Kornelis addressed this with the
architect.
Williams suggested that since the shelf has been installed, that
portion of the change order be broken out and approved for the
expenditures of the materials require. Hold out on the extra
days and time. Walker stated that the work, etc. has not been
approved by the Council and they are under no obligation to pay
for time or materials. It is an engineering error and the City
should not pay for the engineer's mistakes.
Williams stated that Administration should take the position that
all time extension requests will go into a package to be
discussed at a later date. Measles stated that Administration be
sure to document all these requests as they come in. Measles
"r added that he did not believe the addition of the shelf support
could have made enough work for an additional one-half day of
labor. LaShot agreed.
MOTION:
Councilwoman Monfor MOVED to table this change order until the
completion of the project. Councilman Smalley SECONDED the
motion.
Measles stated that he will not back down from his stand
regarding extensions of time discussed at the last meeting.
Walker stated his disagreement to tabling. Walker stated that
each change order should be addressed as it comes in and just
learn to say no. Williams stated that if Council argues each
change order as it comes along, it may do a disservice to the
City. Williams believes it better to hold them until the end of
the project.
Finance Director Brown stated that Council could run into
problems if change orders are not addressed as they come before
them. The contractor may refuse to do the work. Williams
suggested Council give a cursory exam to each as they come.
Brown added that the architect has received approximately 95% of
his fee for the inspection of the project. The contractor is
40 only 50% done with the project. Kornelis does not think the
architect was front billing, but had a big overrun on his
estimate.

MOTION PASSED.
Measles stated that he believes they are doing the right thing to
table. If the change order had been refused tonight, the
architect would be at the next meeting and it would be discussed
the second time. Measles asked LaShot if the City is responsible
for weather delays and whether Kornelis agreed to the one-half
day extension. LaShot stated that in severe instances the City
would be responsible. The contractor had first asked for a whole
day, but changed it to one-half day. Administration is aware
that there were people working part of the day that day.
Brighton stated his concern that after the architect is paid off,
that he will not spend any more time inspecting the project. If
there is no inspector, they will not know what is going on there.
Measles stated his dissatisfaction with the way the City has been
treated by architects, engineers, etc. Measles added that he is
having a change of heart in regard to local hire. If they cannot
do the job the way they bid it, they should not be given the job.
H-6. Discussion - Memorandum from Keith Kornelis Regarding
the Environmental Audit for the New Kenai Courthouse.
Administration stated that Kornelis is requesting direction from
Council as to what firm be given the job for an environmental
audit of the courthouse property (Grace Drilling). Smalley
stated that Wince-Corthell-Bryson did the work on the
environmental study of the Cams property. Gravesestated that
they had no problems with it.

H-8. Discussion - Memorandum to Bill Brighton from Charles
Brown Regarding the Solicitation of Insurance for the
1992-93 Fiscal Year.
Finance Director Brown included a memorandum in the packet
regarding insurance coverage and offered a suggestion as to how
the City should solicit quotes this year. The suggestion was to
solicit quotes for policies and premiums for each coverage the
City needs. Each broker bids on the same coverage, but each
broker must identify the two companies they will use to quote
each policy. The City holds them to those two companies. The
broker may not obtain a quote from a company that is not on their
list. The City may end up with more than one broker.
McComsey stated that he felt this proposal will probably be
better than in past solicitations. Williams stated that a
meeting with the brokers was suggested one time. Brown stated
that if the City does that, ground rules must be set. The
Borough did this and some brokers walked out. The only solution
is to keep the current broker from blocking out the others.
McComsey believes a meeting would be good.
Brown stated that the City must decide on the bid process within
the next two months. However, the bidding process must be
completed by mid -May. Brown stated that if the Council wishes to
go with his suggestion, he will work on the ground rules and call
a meeting for January.

Williams stated that the City is trying to set up a situation
where multi -numbered agents have an equal opportunity to bid
competitively. Swarner stated that Council needs to declare
conflicts of interest. Williams stated to have a conflict of
interest you need to have a close relationship with the broker
himself. No one has conflicts. Williams added to go with what
was stated. Brown should set a meeting with the people who would
like to bid. Walker stated that the meeting should be well
publicized.
