Bill Nelson, speaking as a local businessman and not as an engineer, stated that he felt that the cedar siding will be less damaged by the weather and will last a long time.

The answer was no. The trail could then be routed down Bidarka and part of Beaver Loop instead of using airport property. Mayor Williams added that Administration should check to see if an easement is available for a sidewalk on Bidarka. Mr. LaShot stated that approval from FAA would be needed. Mr. McGillivray added that Tract A (the property discussed in the memorandum) is zoned Conservation and is owned by the City. City Manager Brighton added that he did not see that using Tract A would be a problem. Director McGillivray added that the cost would be kept down and done much like the Bernie Huss trail.

City Engineer Jack LaShot reported that the Willow Street extension project requires direction from the Council in regard to the Corps of Engineers permit. The Corps had returned the application for more information. Mr. LaShot asked if the City wants to go ahead with the.project. The main reason for the project was to connect the street to the proposed fire training grounds. Mayor Williams stated that he thought the City should go ahead to acquire the permit as the permit will be harder to get in the future. While in Valdez he had found out that. Building iOo at Wildwood is not acceptable to the University. I KENAI CITY COUNCIL June 20, 1990 Page 18 MEETING MINUTES Councilwoman Swarner stated that she did not think that.the project should go ahead if there is no reason to have the street extended.

They will be able to start applying the mixture on Monday. Councilman Smalley asked about the cracks in the new pavement on Linwood.

The cracks were larger in the Spring, but will contract and become smaller. The cracks must contract before any tar to repair can be inserted. This will be done this summer. I-7= Airport Manager There was no report. J. D-180u88I,�N J-18 citizens a. Leo Oberts - Mr. Oberts stated that he too has applied for a Corps permit and has not yet received it. He believes that the regulations on the Kenai River should be simplified. There are too many agencies involved in managing the area. Mr. Oberts also stated that garbage disposal/collection and sanitary facilities along the River are areas of management desperately needed. There is also a serious problem with bank erosion. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES June 20, 1990 Page 19 Mr. Oberts added that he believes that the City's proposed boat ramp is a very good idea and also thinks there should be more ramps placed along the River. This would help with the erosion problem. Mr. Oberts stated that many people are not aware that the world's largest salmon was hooked in the City of Kenai limits. He believes that this should be better advertised. Mr. Oberts suggested a sign be placed along the River bank informing boaters and fishermen that they are in the City of Kenai. Mr. Oberts also suggested that the City should suggest to the Cook Inlet Region, Inc. that they place the proposed Heritage Park in the Kenai area instead of Anchorage. It was the consensus of the Council that a sign be placed by the Beautification Committee along the bank of the Kenai River. Mr. .Oberts offered the use of his property for such a sign. Also, it was suggested by Councilman Measles that Mr. Oberts be informed of the intergovernmental meeting that Mr. LaShot is to set up so is that he will be able to attend. b. Denis Douglas - Mr. Douglas, had made a presentation to Council during their June 6, 1990 meeting regarding his grievance. Mr. Douglas wishes to have his position re- classified, Mr. Douglas asked Council if a meeting had been set up regarding his "problem." Mayor Williams deferred the answer to Attorney Rogers. The answer from Attorney Rogers was no. Mr. Douglas stated that he tried to speak with Attorney Rogers in his office recently. Mr. Rogers had Legal Assistant Graves in the office with him. Mr. Rogers stated that he did not wish to speak with Mr. Douglas as he was represented by counsel. Mr. Douglas stated that he told Mr. Rogers that he fired his attorney. Mr. Douglas stated that he thought the refusal to discuss the matter a good sign that Administration is taking hint seriously. lb Mr. Douglas went on to say that he then spoke with Mr. Brighton in his office and asked if he could be placed on the agenda for the Council Meeting.
