There was no public comment. Councilwoman Monfor. I thought we had new carpeting in. Airport Manager Ernst. When we did the asbestos work, during that period of time when it was sealed off, the toilets flowed over and ruined the carpet. They had to be replaced. We found the storage room in the kitchen is 1-1/2 in. lower than the hallway carpet. It had to be leveled off. The jobs are carpet, floor leveling and baseboard in the hall. The other items are 7 wooden doors (one had to be replaced) and the vanity in the men's bathroom. During winter we left the water on so the water would remain running. The water seeped under the vanity, it had to be replaced. The aluminum trim on the window is upstairs in the hall. There is a gap between the window and the sill. We will put an edging over the sill. I intended to do with Repair & Maintenance funds, but had to do the doors. It will be from contingency. KENAI CITY COUNCIL SEI.T6, 1989 PAGE 4 VOTE • Councilwoman Monfor, The contractor knew for one week about the carpeting before telling us? Airport Manager Ernst. That was during the time we could not go into the area. Councilwoman Swarner. The storage room floor is not the same as the existing floor? Airport Manager Ernst. It was not spotted that it was a different height. Public works Director Kornelis. When we did the drawings, there were areas we did not go into. This is one. This is maintenance on the existing facility. The work was not part of the renovation. Airport Manager Ernst. Technically, the storage was overlooked, but which funds do you want to take it from getting a fair price. - Repair & Maintenance or contingency? We feel we are Councilwoman Swarner. Is there a leak in the roof? Airport Manager Ernst. That has been taken care of. Councilwoman Swarner. I have been told there is a company outside of Kenai that is advertising on the windows. Airport Manager Ernst. I have not seen it. Councilwoman Swarner. The name is Allen 6 Peterson. Airport Manager Ernst. They are the contractors for the windows. Motion passed by unanimous consent.

I would like to have the Public Works Dept. follow up closer with Lawton and Kaknu. When they brought gravel in they dropped the blades and scraped the new asphalt, there are large gouges. The contractor should look at this and make reparations. Public Works Director Kornelis will check into this, Councilman Smalley. Some of the driveways were not centered on the aprons. Public Works Director Kornelis Will check into this. Public Works Director Kornelis. We sent certified letters asking them to look at the drawings. Councilman Smalley, i think the work was not the same as the drawings. Mayor Williams. Why was pavement cut after it was dug? Councilwoman Swarner. A manhole too. Public Works Director Kornelis. After the work was done, there was a leak found by our people. We decided we had to fix the water line. It was a small pin hole leak that was growing. It had nothing to do with the paving. We did not discover it till after paving, we have fixed leaks there in the past, but not this one. Mayor Williams. The people involved with this had been bringing it to the City's attention for some time, as much as 2 years ago. Public Works Director Kornelis. There was one on Aliak we did fix. Councilwoman Swarner. This is at 1602 Aliak. Public Works Director Kornelis. Clyde did this one. Councilwoman O'Reilly, How does a leak show up? Public Works Director Kornelis.

C-10 Res. 89-68 - Awarding Contract - Float Plane Basin, cmmmrcial slips - Foster Const. - $55,240 Mayor Williams. Why are we awarding only for basic bid? Public Works Director Kornelis. The funds are available. We could pick up one alternate, but we felt the basic bid was best. It includes parking lot for 5 slips and the road. Finance Director Brown. Technically there is no money for any of this. The original FAA grant was $667,000. With all the change orders and extra costs, we appealed for a grant increase. This has not been received. . Airport Manager Ernst has verbal approval. If we do not get the additional $67,000we will have to use , airport money to do the work. We will have to come back and ask for the additional $67,000.

This project can be built with City airport money. Mayor Williams. Is there money left over from this project allocation? Finance Director Brown. Yes, if we get 10% increase. $740,000 left over now. If we get $67,000 from FAA, $74,000 can be used for this. If we don't get the increase, we will have to use $67,000 of $74,000 to supplement. REi+TAI CITY COUNCIL SEER 6, 1989 PAGE 7 Public works Director Kornelis. FAA used to have Contingency, now it is just for the amount of the Project. Airport Manager Ernst. Instead of contingency, they automatically guarantee 10%. Now it is 15$. CounCilwoman O'Reilly. If we get this done in early Spring with contingency, will they be operational for next year? Airport Manager Ernst. I don't think so but 2 don't know if we can delay the work. Public r Works Director Kornelis. Bids are for 60 days. Councilwoman Monfor. We put it out to bid and we did not know anything about it. Airport Manager Ernst. It has been in process since last year. Public Works Director Kornelis. We approved the engineering.

C. we need work regarding set net leases on City Property. We have people asking us to sign leases for additional space. We charge $40 per year. These are some of the richest properties the City has. The City should realize some sort of profit from theta. As time goes by we should charge 10%-15% of the gross to receive income. We would not charge $40 per year down town. We will Provide information to Council. The State had them at one time and turned them over to the City. Councilwoman Monfor. When we do this, we also need Atty. Rogers to research the fact that the State is fairly consistent with fees all over. we may open ourselves up to problems. City Manager Brighton. We are a home rule city. We need a work session. Mayor Williams. we have talked about this for 10 Years- when the State granted lands out to the 3 mile limit, the State did not give the leases over to the City because they did not want them. The City of Kenai may be only city in the State that has the capability of leasing sites. The state leases all others. I am not sure we want to delve into this. Councilwoman Monfor. They have only made large amounts for 3 years. What happens if they do not MA ke any money? City Manager Brighton. 10% of nothing is nothing. Councilwoman Monfor. The State is consistent at $150.
