Mr. Dominick stated that he and Mr. Rohn have a business clearing driveways in the winter. They use a large snow blower. They have had difficulties with newspapers jamming their equipment because the papers are not able to be seen many times because of the snow. Mr. Dominick was speaking primarily of the unsolicited Ad -visor, delivered by The Peninsula Clarion. Mr. Dominick stated that they have complained to the Clarion, but have had little result from their complaints. They are requesting the Council to pas, an ordinance to restrict unsolicited newspaper delivery. Councilman Walker suggested that newspaper boxes be placed at homes and the papers be placed in the boxes. Mr. Dominick stated that some houses do have boxes, but the papers are not placed in them. Mr. Dominick added that they requested papers not be delivered at different addresses and they are still delivered. He does not believe newspaper boxes will solve the problem. Councilman Smalley stated that on his street, he has seen hundreds of the papers in the ditch. They are plowed into the ditch when the plows go through. Councilman Smalley suggested that instead of an ordinance, the carrier make sure the papers are placed on porches, etc. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINES December 19, 1990 Page 3 Mayor Williams stated that there are laws which protect newspapers from being considered as trash. Mayor Williams stated that Mr. Dominick should deal directly with the newspaper. Mr. Dominick stated they have tried, but have not been successful. City Manager Brighton suggested that if the paper is not wanted, the person should call and ask that it not be delivered. Marion Nelson stated that she lives in Nikiski, and has requested that. this newspaper not be delivered to her. She stated that it does stop until there is a new driver and it starts all over again. Councilman Walker suggested that the resident go pick up the paper. Councilman Smalley stated that the paper is delivered around 3:30 a.m. and many times it snows on top of the paper and cannot be seen. Mr. Gerald Bruckman spoke to the Council. Mr. Bruckman stated that he has called the newspaper and they have been sympathetic and he has requested that the deliveries stop. He does not feel that it is the resident's responsibility to pick up unwanted, unsolicited deliveries. He believes that when it is unwanted, etc., it is litter. There should be some legal recourse for dealing with litter, or public nuisance. He believes the City should pass an ordinance to control the situation. Councilman Smalley suggested that the resident write a letter to the newspaper owner stating the delivery stop. The resident will then have grounds for litigation if the delivery continues. Ms. Lorrie Carter, 312 Sterling, spoke to Council. She.is the Circulation Manager of The Peninsula Clarion. She stated that she has received telephone calls regarding the delivery of the Ad -Visor. She stated that the paper is under new management and that she has so0te suggestions that she will be making to the new management regarding this concern. No. Carter stated that she keeps a list of requests to stop delivery and passes this information on to the drivers each week. She.highlights new requests for drivers. She stated that those requests for no delivery are only a small percentage of the amount of copies delivered. Mayor Williams suggested that the newspaper work with the public regarding this problem. Councilman Smalley suggested that the Clarion print an article informing the public that if the KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES Deoember 190 1990 Page 4 delivery is not desired to contact the newspaper for it to stop. Ms. Carter stated that they have attempted to inform the public in the past and will continue to do so. B-2. Pete Ehrhardt - Peninsula Moose Lodge/Games of Chance and Contests of Skill Permit Application Mr. Ehrhardt introduced himself as an attorney representing the Peninsula Moose Lodge. Mr. Ehrhardt introduced Mr. Darrell Baier and Mr. Larry DeVault, members and officers of the Lodge, seated in the audience. Mr. Ehrhardt requested Council to reconsider the tabling of the action on the Games of Chance and Contests of Skill Permit Application for the Moose Lodge and adopt a motion to place it back on the agenda. Mr. Ehrhardt stated that the Lodge has r approximately 1,000 members and to date, through pull tabs, have contributed over $60,000 to charitable organizations in the area. About 15% of their income from pull tabs goes into the Lodge for the Club, and the rest is donated. The tabling of the motion mainly hurts those charitable organizations to which they donate and hurts the community as a whole. He believes that the Council's action is unfair to the Lodge. The State's action regarding the alleged illegal gambling is pending at this time. The State has not charged the Lodge as yet or found them guilty of illegal gambling. Also, whatever the State gambling decision is, it is not related to pull tabs. The City ordinance requires a State permit. There are other permit applications on the agenda awaiting action by Council this evening. Mr. Ehrhardt requested that their permit be placed on the agenda. Mayor Williams informed the Council of the amount of income received by organizations within the City through pull tabs. He requested that the Council do a letter of non -objection for this permit. It is the State's responsibility to decide whether the Lodge's permit is acceptable in regard to the alleged illegal gambling question. Councilman Smalley asked the opinion of Acting City Attorney Graves. Mr. Graves stated that when he talked with Chief Ross, he indicated that the decision of whether to prosecute will be made in mid -January. Chief Ross thinks it would be better to put this permit application on the agenda in February. i Councilman Smalley asked if this permit has anything to do with the potential litigation of the Lodge and the State. Attorney KENAI CITY COUNCIL XEZTING MINUTES DeOember 19, 1990 Page 5 Graves stated that at this time it is alleged illegal gambling of other types. Pull tabs are acceptable under this permit. Councilman Walker asked if the Lodge is found to have had illegal gambling, would this permit be revoked at that time. Attorney Graves stated that at this time he only knows what has been in the paper and will not make any allegations. MOTIONS Councilman Walker MOVRD to remove the permit from the table and would also instruct Administration to draw up a letter of non - objection. Councilwoman Monfor SECONDED the motion. City Manager Brighton added that probably the only legal consequence, if the City objects to the permit, is that the permit will probably not be issued. With the City's support, the Permit will come sooner. Mr. Ehrhardt stated that bingo, raffles and pull tabs are not under investigation. VOTE: Councilman Smalley requested UNA ZxouB CONSENT.

There was no public comment. Councilman Smalley stated that the Planning & Zoning Commission suggested that the property be split with the City keeping the bottom half of the property because there are trails available for hikers. The Commission's major objection was the question of access. Mr. James Arness stated to Council that access is not a concern. A few people use it. Most people use the Spruce Street for access at the beach. To the East, people use the old road going to the Inlet for access. He is not wanting to stop any access. Councilman Smalley stated that he does not have a problem with the sale. He was stating the concern of the Planning & Zoning Commission. 'Mayor Williams referred to K.Howard's 11/15/90 memo to Council in which she stated the findings of the Parks & Recreation Commission, City Administration and Planning & Zoning Commission.

Mr. McGillivray also reported to Council that the wall -mounted hair dryers discussed at the previous meeting can cost approximately $350-600 for heavy-duty models. A less sturdy model, like those in hotels/motels cost approximately $106. Councilman Smalley stated that the dryers at the ice rink in Soldotna cost $350-400 and are still working fine. Councilman Smalley believes that if it is decided to purchase dryers, the sturdier ones should be what is purchased. Mayor Williams suggested that the cost of the purchase and installation of such an item should be factored in to the next budget. Mr. McGillivray also reported to Council as to the costs of hosting the 1992 State Parks and Recreation Conference. He had reported at a past meeting that he would like to apply for the conference to be held in Kenai. He was asked to bring back information as to costs to the City, etc. Mr. McGillivray reported that of the last five confererences held, the cost to the home community has been minimal. The outlay by the City MMMI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES December 19, 1990 Page 9 would be approximately $200. The registration fees pay for meals, etc. The municipalities pay for their people to attend. Usually 60-100 people come to the conferences.

Approval - Assignment of Lease/Carr-Gottstein Foods Company to Allan Norville, Mr. Agni, Development Manager for Carr-Gottstein Foods Company (CO Foods) and Mr. Alan Norville were in attendance. Mr. Agni spoke to Council and referred to the letter passed out to Council prior to,the meeting.from Mr. Michael Noxness, CG Foods attorney. The letter had attached Assignment and Assumption and'Consent and Approval forms. Mr. Agni stated that Mr. Norville approached CG Foods to develop the property and new store in Kenai. In order to proceed, Mr. Norville needs to have an assignment of the lease to procure financing and architectural and engineering ermits, CG Foods is in agreement with Mr. Norville's proposal'. If Mr. Norville does KENAI CITY COUNCIL HZETING MINOTEB Deamber 19, 1990 Page 10 not perform, the lease returns to CG Foods. Mr. Norville is a professional real estate developer. Mr. Norville has been a Kenai Peninsula resident since the 19801s. Councilman Smalley asked Attorney Graves for his legal opinion. Attorney Graves stated that he did not have any particular problems with the assignment. Attorney Graves stated that the most important clause in the document for the City's purposes is on Page Four. That clause states that CG Foods is not being released from the Ground Lease if Mr. Norville does not perform. MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED for approval of the Assignment of lease of Carr-Gottstein Foods Company to Allan Norville as submitted. Councilwoman Monfor SECONDED the motion. Councilman Walker stated that he was not comfortable with that portion of the Consent and Approval (page 4) where the City consents to "any reassignment of the Lessee's rights, title and interests..." Councilman Walker asked if CG Foods can reassign the lease without Council's approval. Attorney Graves stated that phrase allows the lease to be reassigned to CG Foods after completion of the project. Mayor Williams stated that he understands it to mean assignment is anticipated at a later date and will be Norville and CG Foods. Councilman Walker stated that his question on record.

Mayor Williams stated that Administration has brought to Council's attention that there is a vast amount of revenue to be gained with proper leasing of the City tidelands/setnet sites. Mayor Williams suggested that dialogue should begin with the setnet people as to how to handle the illegality. Councilwoman Monfor stated that she thought Council had given the leasing responsibility over to Department of Natural Resources in regard to these properties. Councilman Walker stated that there were some of Council who did not want to turn it over to DNR. Councilman Walker suggested that an appraiser be contacted and find out the appraised value of those sites. He feels the sites should be leased at their appraised value. Councilman Walker does not think the properties should be turned over to DNR. He believes this topic should be addressed in a number of public meetings. Kim Howard stated that she has contacted West Alaska Brokerage who appraises sites in Bristol Bay. There is a concern that if the City asks a lease price for a shore fishery lease which is more than DNR is asking around the state, there is potential for a lawsuit. Ms. Howard suggests that an appraisal be obtained for one site. Mayor Williams stated that he has discussed this matter with the Borough appraiser. The Borough is looking at different ways to set the value. They are moving slowly as they do not want to get into an area where there are legal problems. Councilwoman Monfor discussed the changes that were just made by the Board of Fisheries with regard to subsistence/commercial fisheries. There is a possibility that subsistence fishermen could also have access to these sites. Councilwoman Monfor added that if the City charges the leaseholders, they may have to charge subsistence users. Mayor Williams stated that they may be breaking new ground in developing a different type of lease for those sites. Councilman Smalley stated that DNR could charge the City a management fee. Councilwoman Monfor stated that she does not have a problem developing a leasing process. She does think that there are many unknowns until a determination is made on subsistence fishing. Until that determination is made, it is RMI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES December I9, 1990 Page 13 foolish to go into this process. Mayor Williams suggested that Council wait until after the summerls fishing season to sere how the new Board rules work out. City Manager Brighton stated that Administration was not asking for a decision this night. There are a lot of loose ends. He asked that Council allow Administration to go to a broker and have one lot appraised. There is no rush. No. Howard reminded Council that there are pending tidelands leases with Mr. Garnett. City Manager Brighton suggested that a conditional lease, allowing future amendments, could be drafted with that individual. NOTIONS Councilman Walker KOVED to expend the necessary funds to actually do an appraisal on one lot and investigate to determine if it is necessary to continue and proceed with this. Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion. There were no objections from Council. 80 ORDERED. R-10. Disoassion - Sewer Treatment Plant Renovation Project Public Works Director Kornelis referred to his memorandum included in the packet. Director Kornelis also introduced CH Hill representative, Jim Maciariello, who attended the Council Meeting. CH2M Hill has requested an increase of $29,655 in the cost for the Engineering Design on the 1991 Modifications of the Sewer Treatment Plant. A construction cost estimate has recently been completed on the project by the engineer. The construction cost is estimated at $1,450,000. A.great amount of time has been spent to reduce the cost. CH2M Hill originally requested an increase of $78,295 to $136,931. The negotiations to lower the cost are explained in a letter from CH2M Hill which was also included in the packet. The Public Works Department recommends that the amount be increased to $29,655. MOTIONI Councilman Smalley MOVED to amend the contract with CH2M Hill to include an increase of $290655. Councilwoman Monfor 8ECOIHaHD the motion. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES December 19, 1990 Page 14 Councilman Walker asked for supporting data showing the increase in the scope of -the project. Director Kornelis referred to page 2 of CHZM Hill's December 14, 1990 letter. Listed there are additional items which have increased the design and construction costs. Councilman Walker stated that the City is dealing with experts who should be able to determine costs in the beginning and not have to come back for a 40% increase. Director Kornelis stated that the items listed (increasing the cost), are items which will save the City money in the long run. Mr. Kornelis feels the changes are necessary. Councilman Walker asked if these items are required. Mr. Kornelis stated many are required. Mayor Williams stated that there still may be unknown costs in the building of the facility. Adjustments may be requested from r.h the mechanical contractor, as an example. After the $1,500,000 is used, then money would have to come from the General Fund. Mr. Kornelis stated that he has budgeted $917,000 for construction. The project should go to bid in February. Councilman Walker and Mayor Williams asked Mr. Maciariello if he can guarantee that his firm will not come back and ask for more money later. Mx. Maciariello stated that they have a better idea of what the project entails and would not be coming back for any additional engineering design fund increases. Mayor Williams informed Mr. Kornelis to investigate FHA grant monies available for small communities for water and sewer projects. The person to contact is in Palmer.

The design is going along smoothly. • RENAT CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES Devember 190 1990 Page is U-32• Approval - Proof of 1991-92 Capital Improvement Project List Brochure The CIP list brochure proof was included in the packet Council to review. Mr. Kornelis stated that the outside of the brochure will be the same as other years, only with the year changed. The inside of the brochure will have apace for another picture. He has chosen a picture of the airport. Mayor Williams asked if Mr. Kornelis had proof read the form. Mr. Kornelis stated that he found no problems. It is ready to go to press. There were no objections from Council in regard to the brochure. ADMINISTRATZON REpp"I _��• Mayor Mayor Williams stated that he planned to call an executive session, but thought it would be better to wait until there is a full Council. He distributed a memorandum from Finance Director Brown to Council for their review prior to calling an executive session. Mayor Williams reported that he will be meeting with Mayor Gilman and Mr. Steffy with regard to planning a strategy to obtain the funding necessary to build the Helicopter Cold Water Recovery School. There will also be a meeting with Mr. Gilman, Mr. Steff y and representatives from UAA on January 7, 1991 with regard to the Fire Training School. Mayor Williams distributed a co faxed proposal letter from Brad Gilman, a Washington, D.C,py of a attorney. Mr. Gilman is a son of Mayor Gilman, Brad Gilman has proposed to lobby for the City in Washington, D.C.,-to obtain monies to build the facility. Mayor Williams requested that the Council review the proposal and that a decision of whether to hire Mr. Gilman as a lobbyist will be made at a later date. Mayor Williams distributed to Council a copy of a booklet of information regarding the Helicopter Cold Water Recaovery.School which was put together as an informational handout. Williams stated that a considerable amount of effort isybeinput into this project and that if it is placed in the City, it will be a very important economic development for the City. Councilwoman Swarner asked what the fee arrangement would be for the lobbying. The letter states $24,000, plus incidentals. RENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES December 190 1990 Page 16 Mayor Williams stated that it is a rough draft proposal at this time. Councilwoman swarner stated that she would like to see how much the "incidentals" are projected to be. Also.. if the other lobbyist could be involved. Mayor Williams stated that many times you need a lobbyist on the spot. This is difficult with the time difference, plus the distance and travel time involved to get to Washington, D.C. when it is necessary. City Manager Brighton stated that these items are negotiable to be discussed at some future time. He asked Council to review the proposal at this time and discussion will follow later. Mayor Williams stated that the Helicopter Cold Water Recovery Project will be his primary project this year. He will be putting a lot of time and effort into this project. He wants Council to be aware of what is transpiring. Mayor Williams stated that he has spoken with the printer in regard to the reprinting of the City brochure. He would like to talk with the printer again in January. He believes there is a need for the brochures. The price will probably be about $6,000- $7,000. He will bring this back to Council perhaps at the next meeting. Mayor Williams stated that the NLC Conference was very informative. Things look very bad for small cities. I-8. City Manager No report.
