Councilwoman Monfor: I was
ahead with a project we had
Senior Center parking that
project. Have we added thi
doing?
s
wondering if we were going to move
talked about last year and that is. the
we were going to tie in with another
to any of these jobs that we're
PW Director Kornelis: No, we talked about it last year, however
there are a few problems that need to be solved. We discussed it
with the City Manager and a couple of them are; the present
parking lot is straddling two lots and I don't know how we're
going to handle that; also, there is a power line going through
there and it's going to have some upgrading from what I
understand. The main thing was trying to determine property
lines.
Councilwoman Monfor: Would it be too late to get it done as one
of our projects this year? PW Director Kornelis: No. The thing
to do would be to add it to this one. To bid it as part of this
project if we want to go that route. Councilwoman Monfor: We did
talk about it last year and we were going to try to get it done.
• I know that I've had a number of seniors ask me about it.
Councilwoman Monfor: Could we amend this motion to include the
paving of the Senior Center parking lot? Vice Mayor Measles: Not
this ordinance.
City Manager Brighton: Perhaps this could be addressed in a work
session that may happen in the next 7 or 8 days. Councilwoman
Nonfor: Would you please mark it down then.
VOTE:
Councilman Smalley: Does this appropriated money cover the cost
of the curbing problem that was over there. PW Director Kornelis:
That's included. We have started redesign work. We found some
problems in our inspections, some of the catch basins weren't
grouted in, so we're making some changes. We've hired a draftsman
for a couple days to make the changes. We will begin looking at
the parking lot if the Council desires.
Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote
5. Resolution 89-42 - Transfer of Funds, Federal Revenue Sharing

MOTION:

D. COMMISSION/COMMITTEE REPORTS
1. Council on A,,,,,�ing
a. Councilwoman Swarner reported that the minutes of the last
meeting a week ago are not in the packet. Work is continuing on
the congregate housing.
2. _ Airport Commission
a. Councilwoman O'Reilly reported that there is a meeting
scheduled for the following evening. Hopefully, the other two
leases will be reworded.
3. Economic Development Commission
None
4. Harbor Commission
Councilwoman Swarner asked if anyone attended the meeting
concerning the lower 5 miles of the Kenai Riverj, City Manager
Brighton answered that it had been cancelled. It is rescheduled
to 9 A.M. at the Aquaculture building.
Councilman Smalley: Did you indicate that there needed to be some
action taken on this? Vice Mayor Measles answered yes, while he
was not present, there was a resolution passed which is in the
packet, requesting the Kenai City Council approve a resolution
asking the Corps of Engineers to present a reasonable plan for
placement of buoy permits.
The Harbor Commission feels there is a potential problem with.buoy
placement in the Kenai River. There are a large number of buoy
permits issued and they have not been able to come up with any
kind of plan showing where those buoys are supposed to be by
permit. The Harbor Commission.had contact with the Corps and the
response left a lot to be desired. There was a kind of drawing of
the Kenai River with a few x's scattered around, no exact
coordinates for the location. Currently, there is no way Public
Works or anyone from the Harbor could go out to the river and
determine if the buoys are placed properly and no way of knowing
if there is any room left in the river with all the permits
already issued, to put any additional buoys. Thus the reason for
the request for the resolution.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL
MAX 17, 1989
PAGE 5
MOTION:
Councilwoman O'Reilly moved to direct the City of Kenai send a
letter to the Corps of Engineers requesting a plan for the
placement of the buoy permits and also to conduct a survey of the
Kenai River, the bottom lower 5 miles and provide a detailed map
showing the placement of the permitted mooring locations, seconded -
by Councilwoman Swarner
Councilwoman Swarner: The Harbor Commission is asking for a
resolution and Councilwoman O'Reilly's motion was just a letter.
Should we do both. City Manager Brighton: A letter by the
authority of Council serves the same purpose.
VOTE:
Motion passed by unanimous consent
5. Library Commission
Councilwoman Monfor reported that there was no meeting, however,
there is a 40th birthday party scheduled for Sunday, May 21st.
6. Recreation Commission
a. Director McGillivray reported that the Commission had met the
,•t previous evening.
b. There was a motion/recommendation made that the Bookey lease
be approved.
C. Denis Douglas, the Maintenance person, discussed where to
place the 1791-1991 numbers on the Airport Triangle Park. The
suggestion from both the Director and Mr. Douglas is on the top.
The reasons are visibility and the ability to anchor it to the
railroad ties. The two gentlemen tried out different locations
and took pictures and found that the numbers did not stand out on
the sides as originally planned. if the numbers are set in
concrete there probably will be problems with frost heave so each
spring they will have to be realigned. The suggested way to do
this is to drill through the railroad ties and run bolts down
through the ties and the ground making it difficult to remove or
vandalize.
If this meets with Council approval, the Director will move ahead.
Council agreed.
d. Councilwoman Swarner: When is the fountain going to be
started. Director McGillivray: Every thing has been prepared,
however, there have been problems with the pump. As soon as it
has been repaired the fountain will be turned on..
e. The Council discussed whether or not there is action
necessary for the Bookey lease, answer no, it proceeds to the
Planning Commission prior to Council action.

7. Planninga & Zoning Commission
Councilman Smalley reported that the minutes are in the packet.
City Manager Brighton: The Borough Mayor called and indicated
that Phil Bryson's term on the Borough Planning & zoning
Commission is expiring and while Mr.,Bryson has no objection to
remaining on, the Borough Mayor indicated that he would like the
Council and the Mayor to submit three names in order to have the
opportunity for selection. He indicated that he would probably
select Phil, however, for people who send names to him for
appointments, henceforth, he wants more than just a single name.
Councilman Smalley: The Commission dealt with that matter and
unanimously agreed to send Phil back. City Manager Brighton: The
names must come from the Council.
e MOTION:
Councilwoman Swarner moved that we send three names, Phil Bryson,
John Williams, and Charles Brown, seconded by Councilwoman Monfor

F. CORRESPONDENCE
1. Kenai Bicentennial Visitors & Convention Bureau - Old Town
Street Improvements
Councilwoman Monfor: Is this an item that is going to be on the
work session, answer yes. Perhaps because people are in the
audience, we could set the date and time tonight. The Council set
the work session for Tuesday, May 23, 1989 at 7:00 P.M.
Vice Mayor Measles: This work session will be for budget
amendments, additional road work, and reviewing additional
personnel requests.
Mr. Ed. Garnett: For Council's information, one of the biggest
problems in Old Towne is the intersection at Main Street. It is
dangerous. I have talked to the owner of Lot 1, Block 16 and he
says that he doesn't want to do much with that square and he would
grant the City a road easement for that purpose.

5. Softball Tournament in Kenai - 1990
City Manager Brighton: Sue Carter and Council, you may want to
take a look at the whole City requirements for hosting the
tournament. Councilwoman Monfor: How many hotel rooms do we
have, answer from Sue Carter about 140. We have 8 or 9
tournaments scheduled for this year. These people ask for a lot
prior to coming including up front money. The Recreation
Commission has looked at it also. It is very similar to our
Arctic Winter Games which cost $1 million.
Vice Mayor Measles: Do we have to do anything on this? Sue
Carter answered that she would get with Director McGillivray.

It's to get that underground pump house working properly.
8._ Discussion - Kenai Junior H.S. Ball Field Development
City Manager Brighton: This is
memorandum of agreement. It is
Council to read it. It appears
not problem.
not necessarily a contract but a
vague in spots and I want the
that the park superintendent has
Councilman Smalley: Are they going to level that hill that they
have been borrowing the dirt from? AT one time they said that if
there was going to be bleacher work done that that dirt may be
made into a hill. Director McGillivray: Curtis Burnham was in on
this session and the idea was to level that area and take the dirt
that's in that pile to be used for topsoil. The plan is to plant
the entire field area and cut out the sections for ball fields.
Councilwoman O'Reilly: Who would do the maintenance on the
fields. Director McGillivray: Through the summer we agreed that
we would. In talking with Don McCloud with Borough maintenance,
he felt they could provide the fertilizer and materials then we
would take care of the mowing. Once the ball season was over the
Borough would take care of it. This goes back about 2 or 3 years,
we tried to get together and at that time I reported back that the
Borough wanted us to do all the work and spend all the money and
do it according to their specs. We've gotten to the point now
where it is a mutual agreement. The Borough will expend part of
the cost as will the City.
Vice Mayor Measles: They are talking about the cost proposals for
installing, and it says "once the cost of this work is known the
parties will determine if funds are available and to what extent
each will be able to share in the cost." Director McGillivray:
That is what we decided that day. We had no idea at that time
what the cost was going to be. We do have, as far as our part, we
still have some funds remaining in that ball park ,improvement fund
that we had set up. At the time we thought we were going to lose
the dust bowl we set aside those monies. Vice Mayor Measles: The
thing that concerns me is that last sentence, "with the
understanding that accord will be reached later on the sharing of
costs for completing the site." There's nothing here that says
the Borough is going to help do anything accept secure a cost
proposal from a contractor. Director McGillivray: The Borough
will provide all the fencing. There will be cost for installation
of the fence, but they do have the gates and the fence to surround
the area. There will be some additional fencing to be purchased
as temporary and then the school will use them elsewhere. We have
adequate fencing for the backstops that we got from the Borough
last year.

The unanswered question is who is

That's true.
City Attorney Rogers: I don't see where it says that they are
going to bring materials in there, it leaves a lot to be decided
later. I don't want to get into the making of the deal, I'm .
concerned about the delineation of workers comp and whose
employees and are they City employees under City direction and the
d
Borough takes care of their own. Perhaps that could be spelled
out. The second major concern I have is the duration of the
agreement. It talks about continuing future maintenance and
management of the fields during the planting season going to
Kenai. There's no end in sight.

J. DISCUSSION
1. Citizens
None
2. Council
Councilwoman Swarner: At the last meeting we had an itinerant
merchant item come up for discussion and the Clerk stated that she
didn't have enforcement powers. After that there were some
itinerant merchants in the Kenai Mall selling baseball cards and
they probably didn't come and get a license either. What can we
do to get our ordinances enforced, to make the policemen work on
Saturdays. Is it worth our while to make the code enforceable.
They weren't collecting sales tax so they weren't lining their
pockets and not paying tax, which is the positive side of that.
I'd like to see a written report made. Is the carnival itinerant
merchants? Answer yes.
Police Chief Ross: The carnival probably would not come under the
itinerant merchants ordinance based on the time period of
associations that have occurred with the mall merchants. The
itinerant merchants ordinance has some broad enforcement
capabilities but you would not want to get it into any type of
restraining trade problem, i.e. anyone who is making delivery at
time of sale. We will be able to take the call, check it out,and
make sure that they are properly licensed. As far as trying to
tighten up that ordinance as a means of keeping other businesses
out of the community ....

Councilwoman Swarner: I'm not saying we should keep them,out, I'm
saying that they should ... Police Chief Ross: In effect, with
the provisions of that ordinance of bonding, fingerprinting.and so
forth, you are in a restraint of trade position. The ordinance is
one that consumer protection designed as a means of getting a
quick handle on fly-by-nighters with promised future delivery
based on taking your money now, and we've used it very effectively
against house sighters, roofers, asphalt fixers, etc. To attempt
to apply it to base ball card sales, encyclopedias, we're going to
end up losing. Councilwoman Swarner: Is it more of a Borough
problem then. Police Chief Ross: That's for someone else to
speak to. We have no problem checking them out for the Borough
license and sales tax, but that's something that anybody can do.
b. Councilwoman Monfor: I'd like to say goodbye to Machelle
Martin, wish her good luck and thank her for being here for all
our meetings.
c. Councilman Smalley: Some of us have probably getting phone
calls about the float plane basin with regard to access to it
during winter months for ski landing. I think that is something
that will be coming up. Also, I know the CAP is interested in
possibly getting a lot donated to them for a float aircraft. I
suggested they talk to Randy and talk with him.
d. Councilman Smalley: I would also like to say goodbye to
Machelle and send a message to your editor in charge, I felt that
the editorial in the paper concerning the Dairy Queen lease was
indeed that, a comment and not necessarily the whole truth. I
would like to have seen him print a whole article instead of one
side.
