transfer of funds for inspection and survey. These
projects were all put together by the engineers, we are
going to have to transfer $170,000 above the original
cost. He asked Public Works Director Kornelis for the
reason.
Public Works Director Kornelis. In 1987 we went out
for engineering on 6 projects and received proposals.
We have normally gone to the same engineer as we had
for design work, we asked the design firms for
proposals. McLane asked for joint work with Wince,
Corthell & Bryson.
Mayor Williams. Why the cost overrun? Public Works
Director Kornelis. We started in 1987 and asked for
proposals now. The prices have gone up from the
original estimate. All 3 are not -to -exceed figures.
Mayor Williams. We are extending a courtesy of
contracts on inspection to the same as design? Public

D. CONMISSIONICOMMITTEE REPORTS
D-1 Council on Aging
Program Director Porter. We are preparing to make the
Senior Center available for rent. I received a phone
call last week that Council will have to make a
decision on. Nordstroms wants to put on a style show
of children's clothing. I asked why they wanted it in
Kenai. It is because they have many customers in
G Kenai.
Councilwoman O'Reilly. How would it operate if they
did it? Would they be selling merchandise? Mrs.
Porter. I did not ask. They would like to come down a
day ahead of time to prepare. Estee Lauder came down
and was very successful. Councilwoman O'Reilly. I
have no objection. We want to help local merchants but
I do not see any competition.
Councilman Measles. I have an objection. For years
K the City has been trying to promote local shopping.
The City is stepping out of bounds to encourage
Nordstroms in Anchorage. They would take a lot of heat
from local merchants.
0
Councilwoman Monfor. Do we have a lease drawn up for
this? Atty. Rogers. Was there a time line for
Nordstroms? Mrs. Porter. The show is to be the middle
of August. Atty. Rogers. The lease documents are not
ready. As of this date, the facility is not available.
I would not represent it as available. I was told it
would be occasional use when other facilities were not
available, receptions and things of this nature.
City Manager Brighton. If they brought inventory they
would need a business license and would have to pay
sales tax. If they did on an order basis, they would
ship down and not pay sales tax or a business license.
if you do this, you are creating a furor in the
business area. Atty. Rogers. Are orders taken at the
style shows and shipped from other areas? Councilwoman
O'Reilly. Does a catalog business have to pay sales
tax? Atty. Rogers. It depends on the State. 20
states have this law. It is still state by state.
Councilwoman O'Reilly. There is no ordinance in the
State? Atty. Rogers. No, we would have a hard time
enforcing one. City Manager Brighton. We have no
State sales tax. Atty. Rogers. It also gets into
federal law regarding Green River ordinances.
Mrs. Porter. If Council decides not to allow this, it
would not make any difference if they went to a private
place? They could go where want to? City Manager
Brighton. They become involved with an Itinerant
Merchants license then. The Clerk has to enforce.
Mrs. Porter. They were here last October. Clerk
Ruotsala. They did not get a license. I do not have
enforcement powers.
Councilwoman Monfor. When we are talking City
facilities, we have to set a policy. Clerk Ruotsala
reviewed the Itinerant Merchant requirements. Also,
there is a policy regarding use of City Hall, there is
no charge.
Mrs. Porter. The reason for renting is to earn money.
City Manager Brighton. We have 2 questicns: 1) The
rent for retail commercial. 2) The rent for
service -type use. They should be addressed separately.
Councilman Measles. I think the City should have a
policy for all city buildings that they not be used for
sale of merchandise. The City has no business in that
type of business.
Councilwoman Swarner. When it was brought to my
attention regarding Nordstroms I thought it would be
for sale and we receive sales tax. I had not
anticipated order taking.
Councilwoman O'Reilly suggested a work session
regarding this.
Mayor williams suggested Mrs. Porter meet with
Administration to develop ground rules for utilizing of
the Senior Center for lease, develop a format for
leasing policy, types of leasing (wedding receptions,
etc.). We have a lot of retail space available. I
hate to become involved with outside businesses
competing with local business.
Mrs. Porter. I am concerned about time. When I
brought this to Atty. Rogers, it was a 1-1/2 months
ago. I have had 2 people that wanted to rent. One is
for June. I would hate to delay too long. Mayor
Williams suggested Administration prepare the necessary
ground rules for leasing, Mrs. Porter and Council
agree, how and to whom. We could allow some discretion
by Administration but not for cormaercial ventures.
Have the outline drafted, basic policy set in place for

May 17 meeting? Councilwoman
Monfor. We will not have
a full Council.
Atty. Rogers. It is contingent on non-commercial use
for the
present. I will have
it within 1-1/2 months.
If liquor is served, they will have another set of
circumstances. I would have to go to an insurance
broker. Without alcohol, we
are ready to go.
Mayor Williams. In preparing
the ground rules for
leasing, there will not be allowed dispensing of
alcohol by individuals? Atty.
Rogers. That is what we
are trying to get worked out.
We are trying to get the
use of another business liquor
license. Mayor
Williams. How soon is the 1st
wedding? Mrs. Porter
replied, June 3.
Atty. Rogers. Proceed with this for non-commercial
use, and complete by next week? Council agreed.

Architect Kluge. At the existing bar and restaurant,
the original windows were covered with wood. The
contract said to remove the wood. Some of the wood
would not come off without damage. I asked for 2
prices, one option was to have covers of aluminum on
the windows. This is a band aid approach, and the
heaters would be over the windows. The other option is
to replace the window frames and use the glass that is
there. I thought it was best to replace the frames.
It will have a lot of public use.
Public Works Director Kornelis. My recommendation,
because of the cost, is $8,412 (option B). It would
look better to go the other route.

walking but will show up in the center. Airport
Manager Ernst. The problem is we are doing a larger
area than we planned. Mayor Williams. Is there a
point where you can make a complete cut? Airport
Manager Ernst. It would be best about there. Mr.
Kluge. I would personally recommend all being replaced
now, but under separate projects.
Councilman Measles. What would be the cost of the
whole thing? Mr. Kluge. 885 yds. of carpet, excluding
our project, $22,000. $24.08 per yd. with installing
and replacing rubber base. You would have to replace
the old part in 2 years.
Mayor Williams. It would be new from the rail to the
end of the restaurant, old to north end. To the south
end is less. It would be cheaper to wait till we have
to replace all in 2 years.
Mr. Kluge. You would replace 900+ yds. Councilman
Measles. Would it disturb the kitchen? Councilwoman
Monfor. We might as well do it all now. It will have
to be replaced in 2 years. Do it while you have a
mess. Mr. Kluge. The carpet has been down 8 years.

Mr. Kluge. We do not have to do behind the counters.

airport was so long, the lines would make it look less
long.
Mayor Williams. Since they are doing it just for us,
will it cost more? Mr. Kluge. $1 per yd. more because
it is discontinued.
MOTION:
Councilwoman Monfor moved, seconded by Councilwoman
Swarner, to re -carpet that portion of the airport not
included in renovation and funding be out of FY 1989
budget.
Finance Director Brown. It is not appropriated. it
will have to come back with an ordinance. It should be
appropriated before we order. I don't know if it has
to go back out to bid. Atty. Rogers. In view of the
size of the contract, this is small percentage. You
can do it as part of this project. Mr. Kluge. $22,000
of a $7000000 project. Mayor Williams. It needs to be
done for aesthetic value.

H-11 Disc. - Dairy Queen Facility RFP
Atty. Rogers. Mr. Ischi is in the audience. He did
not want to proceed with the contract document.
Pursuant to that, we commenced with various
alternatives. After this, we received written
retraction of Mr. Ischi's previous statement,
indicating he wished to proceed. At the time he
declined, it is my position that discretion was solely
with Council. If Council wishes to award, that is
their prerogative. I spoke toCity Manager Brighton, I
have a packet in front of me, including full length RFp
proposal, one with contract damages.limi.tation as
okayed, also a short form document RFP bid; I do not
like as much as the long form. I have also long term
lease for airport lands such as Dairy Queen with
improvements. Having drafted these, I have not
submitted them. At this time I would ask Council what
their pleasure is. I have also a lease agreement here
that incorporates change that was authorized last time
we directed this issue: "Design Liquidated Damages.
The City and lessee agree the lessee shall pay the City
an amount equal to 2 years of the then prevailing lease
rate -and the City agrees to this amount as a limitation
of damages as to rents it would otherwise be due under
the terms of this lease." Basically it accomplishes
the purposes Mr. Ischi requested and Council
authorized. All other terms are as they were.
Mayor Williams asked Mr. Ischi to come up.
r
Counci-1woman Monfor. By this letter, you are coming to
us stating that the terms we offered are now acceptable
and if we give you a lease, when will you open?
Peter Ischi. Yes (to the 1st question). 3 weeks from
signing (to the 2nd question) I would like to sign
this week. I decided $40,000 to $50,000 was chance I

would have to take. At the meeting someone questioned
2 year penalty clause. They asked if they could make
payments. It was stated they could. Atty. Rogers.
There is no provision for that in here. Mr. Ischi, okay.
Councilwoman O'Reilly. MY understanding is that at the
last meeting, Council, after Mr. ischi declined,
instructed Administration to prepare new bidding.
Atty. Rogers. We have done that. We did not want to
go to a new option in view of Mr. Ischi's change of
mind. We have not publicized that. Councilwoman
O'Reilly. How can we undo that? Atty. Rogers. You
have a discretional thing in front of you now. No
detrimental reliance on anyone else. You can
accelerate occupancy with Mr, Ischi. You have an
option of not proceeding with this -and going out to
bid. If you feel his past performance has been
obstreperous or it would be detrimental to the City,
You have the option of not proceeding with this and
going out.
Councilwoman O'Reilly. I don't feel Mr. Ischi has been
obstreperous and I don't think it would be detrimental
to the City if we accept his bid. I would feel more
comfortable if we went through the bid process.
Councilwoman Swarner. I would feel more comfortable
with re -bidding. We offered to Mr. Ischi and he said
he was not interested. To be €air to everyone, he has
had an opportunity to sign for a long time. It would
i
be of benefit to the City f it were open.
Councilman Measles. It would be in the best interest
of the City, in view of bids received the 1st time, we
did offer an amendment to Mr. Ischi, it is in the best
interest of the City to conclude as it is now. Let's
get on down the road. The City does not stand to gain
anything by prolonging. Councilman Measles asked Clerk
Ruotsala, at the April 24 meeting there was a motion on
a 2 year clause. Was there a vote on it? Answer - no.
Councilman Measles. We dropped it when Mr. Ischi said
no.
Atty. Rogers read the clause: "Page 2, Heading -
Liquidated Damages. City and lessee recognize that
time is of the essence and that the City will suffer
loss if operation and maintenance of the
premises is
not commenced in a timely manner or if lessee vacates,
quits the premises or is evicted for a material breach
of the lease during the term provided herein. They
also recognize the delays, expenses and difficulties
involved in proving in a legal proceeding, the actual
loss suffered by the City if lessee materially breaches
this lease. Accordingly, instead of requiring
proof, the City and lessee a ebe that ass ui any such
damages but not as a g liquidated
an amount Penalty, lessee shall pay the City
equal to 2 years of the than prevailing lease
rate and City agrees to this amount, a limitation of
damages, to rents it would otherwise be due under the
terms of this lease." Mayor Williams asked Mr. Ischi
if he agreed with this. Mr. Ischi replied yes.

good.
Yes: Measles, Monfort Williams
No: O'Reilly, Swarner
Mayor Williams. Shall we bring back for the May 17
meeting or go out to bid? Atty. Rogers. I have a memo
with several ways to go. A short form ad in the paper
that it is available, that would circumvent the RFP.
It would allow a person to propose a lease agreement
under normal proceedings. Or we can go out for premium
RFP, that would take longer. We have both prepared.
It would probably go with the long form RFP, with
improvements. The long form gives us more protection.
My preference is a lease agreement. It is an expedited
Procedure. The dollar amount is the same.. The
appraisal is current, we do not need a new appraisal.
We would not have to advertise. It would only need a
small ad.
Mayor Williams. How long would the time be for lease
applications? Atty. Rogers. You would not be in a bid
situation. If competing bids, it would go to Council.
City Manager Brighton. It would have to go to P&Z.
Mayor Williams. It could be at the 5-10 meeting of
P&Z, and back to Council by 5-17. Finance Director
Brown. They could not have time. Atty. Rogers. Mr.
Ischi makes a lease application to the City tomorrow,
he has lost his $2,000. He could make a lease
application tomorrow, but he has to go through P&Z.
Mr. Ischi. $2,000 would not go 11 towards the rent?
Atty. Rogers replied yes.
Mr. Ischi. Could we wait till next meeting?
Councilwoman Monfor. There will still be 2
Councilmembers missing. Mr. Ischi. We are talking
$20000 here. Mayor Williams. The reason this did not
go through is for several reasons. Since there was
only 1 bidder, it would be within Council purview to
consider - - - Atty. Rogers. If Council wishes to
proceed with these documents, okay. The lease deposit
of $2,000 will apply. If he makes a new application
tomorrow, under the lease provisions, he has to go
through P&Z, he -forfeits $2,000. This is the Code.

who is interested will have an equal opportunity. I
would prevail on Council to take a careful look at
this. It will go to P&Z and then to Council.
Councilwoman O'Reilly. If we go with the short form
and there is one bidder, it does not have to go to P&Z?
City Manager Brighton, correct.
Councilman Measles. If we go with the short form, Mr.
Ischi loses $2,000 he put up? Mayor Williams replied
yes, that is gone.
Mr. Ischi. since there is extra Council members, can,
they re -vote? Mayor Williams replied yes.
Councilman Measles. If the lease is approved tonight,
then $2,000 is not lost. Mayor Williams. As we stand
now, there is no way Mr. Ischi can recoup without a
positive vote.
Councilwoman Monfor. Let's go the short form. There
is no way that it can go to P&Z next Wednesday if there
is more than one. 2 weeks before P&Z, one week for
Council, at least 3 weeks for successful bidders to get
together. If it is not Dairy Queen, it will have to
get back to the main company. Possibly it would not be
open till the first of August. One month profit only.
We are being unrealistic to think anyone can do this.
Also, that building has been empty for over a year. We
had one person bid on it. Mayor Williams. The vote is
to allow Mr. Ischi the lease.
Mr. Ischi. A lot of people think there will not be
another bidder. We are postponing and it will cost me
another $2,000.
Councilman Measles. Mr. Ischi can put in another lease
tomorrow, but he may decide not to deal with the City
government any more and we will have no bidders.

Councilwoman O'Reilly. The bid was awarded to Mr.
Ischi, he declined, On tonight's agenda, it was listed
as discussion of Dairy Queen.
Mr. Ischi. It was publicized, no one put a bid in. If
it does not go through the time frame will not let it
go through. You have 10 year lease. I made a mistake
but I don't want to pay for it. I am being penalized
for this, but I cannot make it for another 2-3 weeks
penalty.
Councilman Measles. If there was anyone out there that
was that interested, they would have been here tonight.
Councilwoman O'Reilly. From reading the agenda, they
would not know. Councilman Measles. If you were
interested and you saw Dairy Queen RFP on the agenda,
would you not have been here tonight to see what the
discussion was?

for lease?
Councilwoman Swarner. I would accept for
reconsideration - - - Atty. Rogers. You cannot
reconsider.
Mayor Williams. What are the options? Atty. Rogers.
An RFP or lease procedure. I would recommend
advertising for lease. It is faster, simpler and
cheaper.
Mayor Williams. There is no time frame? Atty. Rogers
replied yes, he read a suggested ad. No closing date
is needed.
Councilman Smalley. Should this go in the paper May 4,
prior to P&Z? If there is only one application, can we
call a special meeting and consider? It would not have
to go before P&Z. Atty. Rogers. It would have to go
before P&Z. City Manager Brighton. Not in this

Rogers. This was advertised for any use. It has to be

act on May 10? Atty. Rogers. Yes, it could be 2 weeks
from May 3.
Councilwoman Monfor. Regarding "Let's not have a

about being fair, there better be a closing date, so we
are doing it right. Mayor Williams. Council can
accept applications up to P&Z meeting date. Councilman
Measles. That is not enough time.
Mayor Williams. There in no reconsideration under
normal situations. Councilman Smalley was not in the

Administration with the next line of leasing? City
Manager Brighton. Anyone who comes in asking for
leasing has to put in $2,000 plus filing fee. Admin.

option when he was here at the special meeting. Mayor

regarding responsible government. Upon defeat of
Mr. Ischi's lease, re -bid was defeated. Was that
responsible government? We made Mr. Ischi the
last applicant for that facility by not putting up
for lease. It is sitting there with nothing
happening to it. The action of the Council, I
think, is irresponsible. I would like to have a
vote of reconsideration on the action, on defeat
of the new lease proposal.
Mayor Williams. You were not on the prevailing
side. Councilman Smalley. 1 am not too sure I
would consider that responsible government. We
took him at his word and he backed down 2 times.
Mayor Williams. In order to let out a new lease
out, all will have to put up $2,000. That would
be $4,000 for him for the potential. He has the
prerogative if Council chooses to go out for bid.
Atty. Rogers. Anybody, even without advertising,
could come in and file for a lease application.
Mayor Williams. The Chair will entertain a motion
for reconsideration. We will have to come to
grips with the Dairy Queen at some time. By
action of Council this date, we have delayed the
potential lease for a long time, at least 2 weeks
before we can present another motion.
No action by Council.

There is real concern. The house has burned down.

C. Councilwoman O'Reilly. Do you have an estimated
time in reference to pull tabs? When can we come
up with an ordinance regarding this? Mayor
William - The Legislature has to close out this
Year and the decision has to be made regarding
injunctions against the Kenai Borough and the
Kodiak Borough.
Atty. Rogers. I don't know. The injunction will
probably stand till there can be hearings. It
will probably be lengthy. Probably not for a
substantial period of time, perhaps next session
of the Legislature. Mayor Williams. Council will
probably not do anything this year.
Councilwoman O'Reilly. Looking at non-profit
organizations in the City, we need to find out who
these organizations are, the percentages of
receipts that are dedicated for this purpose.
Mayor Williams. It is spelled out by State law.
Atty. Rogers. You are talking about a lot of
money, well run organizations and not -so -well run
organizations. I don't know if we have the
capability or authority to get into this.
Mayor Williams. We will not till the courts
decide. Atty. Rogers. The liquor licenses are
examples. You have limited grounds to object. If
