Be 8_CREDOLED PUBLIC CO 8W_ (10 minutes) 8-1 t Nme- Leitner - Peninsula Atha, te__ ig_c =_ Mr. Leitner is requesting that the City be a pass -through agent for a State of Alaska Rural Development Fund Program Entrepreneur Fund grant. His business is the Peninsula Athletic Club II. The business is situated outside the city limits. The grant is for $250,000. Mr. Leitner had materials included in the packet. The materials were the entire loan packet, including an Environmental Assessment Checklist. Mr. Leitner stated that he has been told by the State that the environmental portion would be waived as it was not applicable. Mr. Leitner has spoken with the Borough and the North Kenai Recreation District. Neither have accepted the power to administer grants. The State told Mr. Leitner that the City of Kenai would be the most likely candidate to administer the grant. (a • KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JULY 11, 1990 PAGE 3 working on remodeling, etc.); (2) job availability for the area; (3) good for the whole state by bringing federal money in to the state as revolving loan fund; (3) availability of facilities for Kenai residents (large percentage of their patrons at this time are from the City). Mr. Leitner stated that the loan has been pre -approved. Questions from the Council included how many jobs would be generated. Mr. Leitner answered 15 to 20 jobs would be generated. The majority of which will be part-time positions. One-third of the positions will be full-time. Concern was expressed by Mayor Williams that there may be undue burden placed on the Finance Department to administer the grant. Finance Director Brown stated that how much work will be generated from administering the grant is unclear. He is more concerned with the City's liability if the loan is not repaid. Mr. Leitner stated that the State told him that the City would not be liable. City Manager Brighton asked Mr. Leitner who told him that the Borough was not empowered to administer the grant. Mr. Leitner answered that the Borough told him they are unable to administer the grant. Councilman Smalley asked Attorney Graves what the legal liabilities are to the City as a cc -sponsor of the loan. Attorney Graves stated that he had glanced through information booklets given to him from City Manager Brighton regarding the REDI grants. Mr. Graves feels that the City may have some liability if the grant is not administered properly. Mr. Brighton added his concern that the business is located outside the City of Kenai. The City has no responsibility to businesses outside the City. Councilman Walker stated that even though the business is outside the city limits, that it is still part of the community and that he feels the City should want to be involved. Mayor Williams requested Administration to explore the grant and ramifications of being involved with the grant and hopefully be able to give a report to Council by the next meeting and the August 1 meeting at the latest. As it is necessary to have a public hearing as a requirement of the grant application, Mr. Leitner stated that it would be appreciated if he could get an . w r� KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JULY 11, 1990 PAGE 4 answer as soon as possible. Mayor Williams asked that a resolution be brought to Council at that time for any action that may be needed. Councilwoman Monfor asked that Administration find out why the borough cannot be an agent for grants such as these. 8-2s American Merchant Marines of Kenai - Anchor Monument/Memorial Park There was no one in attendance to speak to the Council in regard to this request. Mayor Williams stated that the American Merchant Marines were recently listed with veteran status. The local chapter is requesting permission to place a monument in Memorial Park along with the other veteran memorials. The design of their monument is a ship's anchor. A drawing was to be submitted for Council review/approval, but it was not available. Mayor Williams asked Clerk Freas to get in touch with "Kenai Jim" and let him know that the Council will need the sketch in order to act on whether to allow the monument to be placed at the Memorial Park. There were no objections from the Council as to the concept of the monument. 8-3s Denis Douglas - General Re -Classification Denis Douglas asked if the Council had set a date for a work session regarding the general reclassification. Answer from Council was no. Mayor Williams stated that the City had reviewed the entire City classification structure a few years before which cost $30,000. More discussion followed regarding Mr. Douglas' pay structure and previous classification study. No new study will be forthcoming at this time. Mr. Douglas stated that the study did not change his pay scale. Mayor Williams added that the Council does not wish to be involved in what is an administrative issue. Mr. Douglas asked the Council if there were any questions as to the materials included in the packet. Councilman Walker asked why the material was placed in the packet. Mr. Douglas gave an explanation as to the removal of the telephone from his shop. He stated that Public Works Director Kornelis' letter of reprimand (which was included in the packet) was incorrect in that Mr. . Douglas did not throw a memo at Mr. Kornelis and then run out of City Hall. Mr. Douglas stated that he was in touch with a council person, of whom he would not name, and that council KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES .

Thera were no objections. s0 ORDERED. 8-91 Discussion - Shore Fishery Lease A memorandum was included in the packet from Administrative Assistant Howard stating that a request to lease tidelands was received from Attorney Ed Garnett. The requested area is situated north of the shore fishery leases that the State transferred to the City in 1977. The Kenai Municipal Code does not provide instructions on leasing shore fishery sites. Administrative Assistant Howard requested direction from the Council as to whether the tidelands leasing instructions from Chapter 11.20 of the Kenai Municipal Code be should be followed for leasing shore fishery leases. A long discussion followed. Councilwoman Monfor stated that she did not feel that the City should get involved with shore fisheries. Also, that Mr. Garnett's letter is not clear as to whether he wants to lease or if he has a client wishing to lease. Also, it is difficult to determine the fair market value of these properties from one year to another due to the dependency of the fishing harvest. Mayor Williams suggested that perhaps the responsibility of these properties be returned to the Department of Natural Resources. He added that he disagrees with Administration that the properties should be bid to the highest bidder. City Manager Brighton stated that the properties should be treated as any other leasable property within the City of Kenai. Leasing shore fishery leases at $40.00 per year when they produce $30000-$901000 profit is unfair to the taxpayers of the City. Councilwoman O'Reilly requested a work session to educate the Council and perhaps take some action. City Manager Brighton suggested holding the work session after the fishing season is over. More discussion followed regarding the difference between FAA lands and their regulations governed by the FAA and other City lease lands. Also, how the value of the shore fishery properties can be determined. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JULY 11, 1990 PAGE 13 WORK SESSION BCSEDULED: Councilwoman O'Reilly requested a work session to discuss shore fishery leases be scheduled for 7:00 p.m., September 12, 1990. Councilman Smalley SECONDED the request. The work session will be held in the Public Works Conference Room. B-10: Disouasion - Proposed Kenai Boat Ramp and Cunningham Park Mayor Williams reported to the Council and the public on the joint meeting held in Anchorage regarding the proposed Kenai Boat Ramp to be placed on the Cone property. Mr. Williams stated that there is a large amount of opposition to the use of the Cone property and that other alternatives were suggested. There are three alternatives: 1. Location at Angler Drive - Mayor Williams believes this property to be wetter than at the Cone property. Also, more property would have to be purchased at a higher price. 2. Cunningham Park - Again more property would need to be purchased and a higher price. Also, more neighbors to the property may oppose. The point of the Cone property was to not bother neighbors. 3. Develop a joint project with State close to the bridge. It was discussed that the reason the Council chose the Cone property was due to the lack of neighbors that would be bothered by the boat ramp. Also it was discussed that there is a bad erosion problem at Cunningham Park. It was felt by those who attended the meeting that the City will need other permits in the future and need a working relationship with the Corps and the other entities involved and that perhaps the City should look closely at an alternative. Councilman Walker stated his opposition to this belief. He feels that is premature at this time to give up on the application for the Corps permit for the Cone property. Councilman Smalley reported that the governmental entities represented at the inter -governmental meeting were unanimous in. their opposition to the project. City representatives were told that if the Corps permit is approved, no Dingle -Johnson funds would be made available for the project. KFNAI CITY C01)NCIL • JOLY lit 1490 PADS 14 MEETING MINUTES A question arose as whether the Fish & Game had a permit from the City to have their floating dock and counter on City property. Administration stated that they had,a permit for a one-year period. The.permit was not requested to be renewed and.was not renewed. However, the dock, etc. is there. Mr. Kornelis added that he asked if they had a Corps permit. They are to get back to him. Mr. Chester Cone spoke to the Council and urged the Council to move ahead with the application for the Corps permit. He suggested that the City contact Pacific Legal Services in Anchorage as they worked with him some ten years ago and were very helpful. He believes the City proceed with the application if only to get a denial and then go on from there. NOTIONS Councilman Walker movED to pursue the Corps permit application and Councilwoman Monfor BzCONDBD the motion. UNANIMOUS CONSENT was requested. There were no objections. 80 ORDSRHD. it was discussed whether another of the alternatives should be pursued in the meantime. it was decided to only pursue one proposal at a time. It was discussed that there is a large amount of positive interest from the citizens in the area. It was discussed whether a letter should be placed in the paper encouraging those citizens to get involved as the governmental agencies will listen to the public and sometimes and change their minds. Mr. Kornelis added that the Corps will ask for public comment. The public can then request a public hearing. The Corps then decides whether to have a public hearing or not. Council. directed Mr. Kornelis to write to the Corps and.ask for a public hearing to be held in Kenai. Mayor Williams suggested that an on -site inspection of the proposed property could be scheduled for anyone interested.' Again, Council directed Mr. Kornelis to proceed with the permit application and write.a letter, requesting a public hearing to be held in.Kenai. Councilman Smalley asked what the City of Kenai can do to solicit the public to get involved. It was suggested that through newspaper articles and perhaps later, closer to any public hearing set, to put an advertisement in the paper. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES • JULY 11, 1990 PAGE 15 to • B-11: Discussion - Park Shelters Public Works Director included in the packet information regarding the costs of purchasing shelter kits.

Parks & Recreation Director McGillivray commented that he would like to see the corners closed in so as to block the wind and have a fire place, or grill built into the end walls. Tables, etc. could then be placed inside and there would be more protection. Mayor Williams suggested that if the walls were built higher, could a service organization (Lions, Moose) build the fire place. Director McGillivray did not know whether they would be agreeable to do this or not. It was agreed that eight foot walls be placed on the ends of the shelter to give wind protection. Mr. Kornelis is to have an ordinance for the Council at the July 18, 1990 meeting. M-12s Discussion - Donation of ARCO Cabin/Ivanoff Memorial Park Mayor Williams informed the Council that the Ivanoff family would like to donate a piece of property in Old Town as a park in memory of Chief Ivanoff. ARCO has an old log cabin which they would like to donate for the park. The City firemen would restore the cabin and playground equipment would be placed at some future time. The firemen could have meetings with children regarding fire prevention, etc. at the cabin. City Manager Brighton asked who would have ownership of the property. Mayor Williams stated he believed the City would have ownership. He added that the City should check whether the cabin is usable. A letter should be written to ARCO requesting them to Put the future of the cabin on hold until the City can look at the building and determine whether it is wanted or not. • • KENAI CITY COUNCIL JULY 110 1990 PAGE 16 MEETING MINUTES It was the consensus of the Council that a letter be written to ARCO putting the building on hold and stating that representatives from the City will look at the cabin and determine whether or not it is wanted.
