SCHEDULED PUBLIC CONIlENT B-1 Ruth Haring, 1121 Walnut, Kenai. We have resided at this address for 11 years and have appreciated what has been done in the past. We have had more snow than usual this year. When we call the City, we have had the usual excuses by phone. The streets are narrower than usual. We had high berms. The snow in the driveway was 5 ft. into the road. We had to shovel it. That section will be left to thaw and will not drain. Frequently it is women and senior citizens that have to do the work and it is unfair to ask senior citizens to move elsewhere. The plowing has to be done. The streets that are not done back to the curve are slow to thaw. Moving slush is not cost-effective. The City has equipment to move snow effectively. Soldotna does a good job. The City should plow back to the curbs. The driveways should be cleared or not plowed in. Councilwoman Monfor. You are not the only one who complained. I hope to come up with. some kind of bill during budget sessions. I would hope there would be some plan. Soldotna is not any better. We have had way too many problems. Councilman Smalley. Would you object to a mill rate increase if it became necessary to pay for this? 1 KENAI CITY COUNCIL APRIL 4, 1990 PAGE 2 Mrs. Haring. Why would it have to be increased? Councilman Smalley. The man hours they work for clearing is often overtime and eats up the budget. Mrs. Haring. Has it always been true? Councilman Smalley. Not always., we could do driveways. but it will cost money. David Haring, 1121 Walnut, Kenai. The driveways are always controversial. Regarding the roads, it is difficult to determine what to do if you have limited resources. It costs more to plow the way we did it than if we did to the curbs. We have 6 ft . of snow across the driveway. I am not convinced it would take an increase in the mill rate to take care of the streets. Councilman Walker. Council has been looking at this year in and year out. I support clearing the driveways, but with the equipment and personnel we have, they did a commendable job. They have not increased their personnel or budget in some time. Council will have to d rect to this. It may take increased revenue to do this. Mrs. Haring. Why would it cost more to plow it to the curb the 1st time than to do a path through the middle? Vice Mayor Measles. One of the problems this year was the amount of snow we had. The plow could not push in any higher. The only way to widen is to haul snow out. Mrs. Haring. You do not have blowers? Public Works Director Kornelis. We did run it through Woodland once. When we started the season we were doing to the curbs, but we could not later on. B-2 Cook Inlet Housing Authority - Draft Agreement Tom Harris, Executive Director, Cook Inlet Housing Authority. CIHA is ready to enter into an agreement with the City to allow home ownership opportunity for low income people. It will help fill empty units in the City area. It would add home owners to the City with their income as income multipliers. It would increase employment and sales with home improvements. It would bring houses up to UBC standards. It would lead to future development in the City. It will be scattered sites in the community. People on the list desire to live in the City. Kathy Boling, RNA President. On behalf of the Board of Directors, I urge you to vote .for this. Many low income people have no hope of purchasing homes. You give them an opportunity to purchase homes. Not just for themselves, but for their children. Mr. Harris. We have submitted the agreement. We would be prepared to go forward with this if Council sees fit. People who own homes maintain them. We are proud of the project. We have "pre" and "post" occupancy counseling. We work with budgeting.. It is a 25 year loan. The home comes back on tax rolls after 25 years. Councilwoman O'Reilly. Before you discussed typical "rent" amount. RENAL -CITY COUNCIL APRIL 4, 1990 PAGE 3. Mr. Harris. That is.administrative payment, not rent. We are looking at about $150 per month. It could go up or down a little. Councilwoman O'Reilly. It says "shelter rent" in the agreement. Does that include utilities? Mr. Harris. No, the home buyer has to be able to pay upkeep, utilities, shelter rent, administrative fees and insurance. Councilwoman O'Reilly. This does not preclude possible construction by Cook Inlet Housing Authority? Mr. Harris. We would hope we could come back later to build homes. If the economy stays as it is, we would do as we do now. Councilwoman O'Reilly. Page 3 of the agreement, item d. "On failure of payment, no lien shall be attached". We do not expect this to happen but what recourse does the City have? Mr. Harris. The government would have to fail before we would fail. Where we do not collect, we get from the U.S. government. There are 14 other regional housing authorities in the State, 149 in the U.S., all will be honoring their commitments. Councilwoman O'Reilly. Page 4, "The City agrees to - exempt sales tax."' Mr. Harris. That is what they pay us. That is the exemption. Councilwoman O'Reilly. I note you have property in the Borough? Mr. Harris. Chuda House. It is an agreement with the Borough much like this. (He asked if Atty. Rogers had any comments. Atty. Rogers replied no). Mr. Harris. We look forward to this agreement and we feel it would be good for all concerned, Councilman Walker. As an example, you have tenants that live in the house 5 years and move. What do they do with it? Mr. Harris. They could get individual financing or turn it back to us. We would bring to standard and resell. They have to get title from us before they can sell. We do fee simple quit claim title. Once they own it, they can to what they want. But they do not usually sell. Councilman Walker. Regarding taxation. The Borough property tax is 100 of $150,000. Not much money compared to most houses. Mr. Harris. About $190 we would pay in taxes. we have run the numbers through, added sales tax, shelter rent and economic multipliers. It was basically a wash - it was not a drain on the City, even with different multipliers. -Once they are purchased, they are back on the tax rolls. r LJ KENAI CITY COUNCIL APRIL 4, 1990 PAGE 4 Councilman Walker. The difference between when they enter a house and actually purchase it. Do they pay for it entirely? Mr. Harris. After 25 years, it is paid for. They can purchase early. Councilman. Walker. They could go to a bank and get financing. Then it would go on the tax rolls? Answer - yes. MOTION: Councilwoman Monfor moved, seconded by Councilman Smalley, to accept the draft agreement with Cook Inlet Housing Authority. Councilwoman Swarner. This is just for existing housing? Mr. Harris. This is acquisition for existing housing. If we go into this and did not have enough homes, we would come back to you and ask for development. There has to be an agreement for that. There are about 150 units available right now. There should be 10-12 available in this area. We will have to do a submittal in April or May. We have asked for cooperation up to 30 units but would have to come back for more. Councilman Walker. Do we have to have a hearing on this? Local real estate agents might be concerned regarding this. Atty. Rogers. It.is.not required but may be politically expedient to do so. VOTE (Passed): Yes: Monfor,.O'Reilly, Smalley,.Swarner, Walker No: Measles B-3 Gottstein - Building a Mall Robert Gottstein, Carr-Gottstein Properties, Inc. (He introduced Paul Carr, Carr-Gottstein Properties, Inc.; and Marian Nelson., Kenai Mall Representative). Carrs has been in Kenai for 22 years now and has had much change. We have learned more on how to sell and how to display. The Mall has become obsolete. We think we can do better in the City and would like to. We have tried to think how we could redo the Mall. It would be difficult. We have been looking at different sites. The best site is owned by the City and is under short term lease with Fred Meyer. We usually try to do things quietly because of competition. I am uncomfortable with a public forum. We have a proposal: Send notice to Fred Meyer that you are no longer interested in leasing. We are proposing to lease, build and then purchase. A 55,000 sq. ft. store with room to expand. The intent is to break ground this year. We would like to break ground in 1991, summer or fall, and open in early 1992. We would like to acquire the property so we can expedite building this. Paul Carr. Phase 1 is 60,000 sq. ft. 55,000 sq. ft. for grocery and liquor store, 300 parking spaces. We could lease shops or obtain another anchor. The current site cannot allow us to expand. 'MAI CITY COUNCIL APRIL 4, 1990 PAGE 5 -_� Councilwoman Mo nfor. We have a lease with Fred Meyer. we do not know their plans. _ Mr- arr. We have done research on this, Councilwoman Monfor. I would like to wait till city Manager Brighton is back. Mr. Carr. We have done some homework. Meyer The Fred lease had a performance clause. They have not completed and are in default, They require 30 day notice. The City could renegotiate. The legal hurdles have been discussed and are not real obstacles. I would like to achieve an understanding that notice will be given to Fred Meyer and notice to us that we can lease and Purchase the property. Under normal circumstances this would be done less publicly. Councilwoman Monfor. The rumor we have heard is expansion of Carrs. Recently we have heard there are Partners that are not willing. Mr. Carr. We do have partners. When Carrs was built, they owned it for 20 years, we operated it. The sold 3 years ago. At that time we did a develo Y for 45,000 sq. ft. expansion. we needed their because they were partners. They did not want to do it. That is not true an more. it is to build now. Why have a not done it in ?ur interest good we did not do it then, we are talking�aboutwaas larger one now. If we expanded on the Present would have to absorb all the shops. Weetowe would like have the land to give us the opportunity to build a larger not g enou h1'hi�s a good solid location but it is The : to build this. We stiiinhayveshows us it is a good time Problem now. because. we will not do thisbwithhth are no existing them. The _ one is two 20,000 s actual sales area is not 40 OOOftm sections. The , ore like 35,000. Councilwoman O'Reilly. What would you do with current property? the Mr- Carr. We do not know. It should eventually Serve the community. You will end up with a new facilit Y and another facility that is good and well situated. Councilwoman Monfor. It is not appropriate "go for it" e to say now. � vice Mayor Measles.This is the first Council has been aware of this- We understand the urgency. I would like to suggest a work session when City Manager Brighton comes back. City Manager Brighton has also had discussions with Fred Meyer and Carrs. Mr. Carr. I cannot walk away with that and be comfortable. I -. am not aware of Obstacles on op Maybe there are some, it could cause problems s for us. _ CotutCllWomaii MOnfpr, The City may be looking at potential problems if "go we say for it.,, We need to have Atty. Rogers address this regarding the C' liability. g ity,s Atty.. Rogers. We are receiving rents even though have not completed. They have g they _ made substantial improvements on the anta.al Property, $400,000. KMMI CITY COUNCIL 'APRIL 4, 1998. PAGE 6 Finance Director Brown. $120,000 per year for 5 years rent. Atty. Rogers. They have paid $1 million. To what extent they are aware of what is happening.. I don't know. There are a number of things to be done. Everything is on tape. It is a public forum. I recommend copies of the tape and a letter regarding action of Council be prepared. Council needs to make a determination as to which is the best avenue for the City to take. I concur with a work session. Fred Meyer should be notified. Mr. Carr. We have been in corm mi,cation with the City. I researched every avenue. I thought these things had been discussed. Atty. Rogers. Not with me. my recollection is termination requires 30 days. Mr. Carr. There is an issue of termination and nonperformance. Atty. Rogers. Termination is the result of nonperformance. Mr. Carr. We may wish to withdraw our request. Councilwoman Nonfor. It is difficult for us when we have something dropped on us. We can have some determination by Friday. But we have to have a meeting to make it official. Mr. Carr. I would request if you feel it necessary to do this, you can give them notice that they are In default and give them 30 days. They have leased over a period of time. Site improvements could be in assessments. I would have no problem with fair market value. I am encouraged and discouraged. I would like rapid progress. They have invested $1 Million but they did not commit themselves to.build. They are postponing, we would be committing. Councilwoman Monfor. We are asking you to wait 2 days, Mr. Carr. If we can solve it in 2 days, I am in agreement. vice Mayor Measles. If Council feels We have to notify Fred Meyer• We cannot make an Official decision. Mr Carr. Fred Meyer has a board meeting - - - Atty. Rogers. The 18th. Mr- Carr.. Their having this information prior to then could be significant. We don't usually buy from a Public entity. Vice Mayor Measles. Regarding concern about Fred Meyer knowing by the 18th, they will. Mr - Carr. They will know by April S. . Councilwoman swarner. . I am in favor of this but I feel we should wait for City Manager Brighton. Mr. Carr. The City Manager was first to know about this. I ant not trying to throw this through. KENAI CITY COUNCIL APRIL 4, 1990 PAGE 7 Councilman Walker. With their lease from the City, I any having difficulty seeing why 2 days would make a difference. If Council decides to end the lease and go with the proposal, that is our prerogative based on their action. Mr. Carr. There are other things involved. I will be at the meeting Friday. Atty..Rogers. One of the queries made is, what is the. security should the City no longer get money from Fred Meyer, what assurance do we have from Carr-Gottstein that they will proceed? Mr. Carr. We would be happy to pay rent prior to building. Atty.. Rogers. We are receiving that now. Mr. Carr. We are planning to build, they are not. Atty. Rogers. You would have no reluctance.to a building schedule? Mr. Carr replied, none. council agreed to a work session, Friday, April 6, 7:00 PM. C.

Could we write a letter that it is for our Bicentennial? Councilman Smalley asked Atty. Rogers. Is the seller aware that it may take 3 years? And has he seen this? Atty. Rogers. No, to have an option for 3 years is very nominal for $1,000. But I don't know any other buyers wanting to buy it. Vice Mayor Measles. The intent all along in discussions with Mr. Cone was the option would be till their permit was granted or denied. Atty. Rogers. The problem is there is not time certain. In order to have an option you have to have a time. Vice Mayor Measles., I don't think there would be any problem with a 3 year time. There is also a provision for extension to be granted to seller. Councilwoman Swarner. I would want 4 to 5 years. vice Mayor Measles. If we don't have.it in 3 years, we will probably not get it. Councilman Walker suggested Dec. 31, 1993.

We have additional space if anyone wants to come in. The rate is derived from the square footage plus $100 month for improvements, plus tax. Finance Director Brown. The $364 includes sales tax? Answer - yes. Finance Director Brown. We need to change the wording. Airport Manager Ernst. Regarding insurance. The attorney brought up the a question of the amount required. I would treat them as we would a charter. They have the same type of liability insurance for their business. We only require $500,000 for land lease. I don't see then) being in competition with the carriers. They will not be running people in and out of the terminal. That is the amount they have on their business. To go to $1 Million as for air carriers is not feasible. Vice Mayor Measles. Are they utilizing the float plane basin? Airport Manager Ernst. They have applied to lease property there to build a hanger at the float Plane basin. Councilman Walker. The language to be changed? Finance. Director Brown. It should be administrative.
