B. 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.

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.

Councilwoman Mo nfor. We have a lease with Fred Meyer.

_
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

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

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.

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.

H-7 Approval.- option to Purchase Cone Property
MOTION:
councilman walker moved, seconded by Councilwoman
O'Reilly, to approve the option to purchase.
Councilman Walker. I have been in favor of this. 1.
Public works Director Kornelis and others would agree
we will have to put money up and get the property. if
we don't, we will not get the permits. Has Atty.
Rogers reviewed this?
Atty. Rogers. I have not read it. The durability of
option is the most important part. I was thinking Fall
of 1991.
Public Works Director Kornelis. It is not long enough.
Vice Mayor Measles. I would say about 3 years.
Atty. Rogers. We may want to change from $1,000
upwards.
Councilwoman Monfor. 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. Council
agreed to the suggestion.

B-8 Approval - Special Use - Airport Terminal - Alaska
AirWest
Airport Manager Ernst. We received the request March
6. I thought the best way was to do as we did with the
little lunch room, a special use permit. It would be
May 1 to Sept. 30. There would not be any reason to go
out to bid. 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.

considered Ord. 90-23, by the 4 Kenai
assemblypersons. Seven were in favor. One
amendment was for seasonal green boxes and another
regarding hazardous waste. It is up for
reconsideration. Next week's special meeting is
to finish the 4-3-90 agenda only.
c. Councilwoman swarner. It is nice to be home. I
commend the Fire Dept. for cleaning the hydrants.

for the candy and Atty. Rogers for the nuts.
Regarding the Borough meeting. The Borough
attorney feels they will reconsider it at the next

us to be there. I will be there*
