PERSONS PRESENT SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD B-1 Dave Hutchings - Police Car Bids Dave Hutchings, Hutchings Chevrolet. in May 1987 he was awarded the bid for two 1989 police cars. He put in his bid that he did not have 1988 costs. His bid was subject to 1988 increases. When he was awarded the bid, it was his error. He did not read the P0. It said they would award the cars if he would bill at 1987 prices. When they came through, they came at ;800-$900 more than 1987 price. He wrote to Police Chief Ross to „..�- i KENAI CITY COUNCIL `.� APRIL 20, 1988 PAGE 2 f ask if the City could take them off his hands and pay the difference. Chief Ross said no, the bid will stand. The Chevrolet company got the price down to $80 from the 1987 price. The City has 1988's instead of 19871s. The increase was 5%-6%. $250 per vehicle is within $300 less than actual invoice. Atty. Rogers said the mistake is Hutchings. The integrity of the _ bid process takes precedence in this situation. If you. start doing other than what should be done, you are "opening Pandora's box.” Mistakes have been done before for more money. He urged Council to follow the bid and not give relief in this instance. Mr. - Hutchings said he wo+xld prefer not to donate $500 to ' the City. Be -has no alternative to keep or send them - - - ----- --_-- --- . back. He would request if he spent an additional $500 to sell them, he would like to see the $500 go to a children's playground or something so he would feel it did not go to the City. Atty. Rogers said the $500 is already out of his pocket, now he wants the City to donate to charity. Mr. Hutchings said the City would _... -- - -- get the benefit of appreciation of the vehicles. Mayor Williams said we have received in excess of our tcchildrenehave 0urplual we playgrcundscan donate $500 to heslibrary or Council took no action. - 8-2 Red Goodwin, dba GVC Productions - Promotional Videos Mr. Goodwin explained he does videos for promotionals, industry and recreational. He has 30 second = commercials. He is proposing a video monitor in the airport terminal on a continual basis. It would have information about the City and advertising from local =, businesses. He would lease the business from the City and be responsible for the monitor, installation and maintenance. Mr. Goodwin showed a short video. He explained, it would give monthly revenue to the City. He would be willing to sign a lease. Advertising is I getting expensive, it would be a good business for affordable advertising. A good number of people travel through the airport._ -For residents and visitors, it - would be entertaining. Councilwoman Monfor asked, what is the cost to the City? Mr. Goodwin replied, nothing. Councilwoman Monfor said the City just had a video made. Mr. Goodwin noted that was still shots. He would like to put one together of his own with his own script. There would be 1-1/2 minutes for information, 30 second-comm rcials.He would--tie-it together,-ext- _. fishing with fish ads, etc. Airport Manager Ernst said v: - "--- - - - - - -- he -has- not -talked- to Mr. _Goodwin -at -length. - He- did. -------- tell him he is not the first to have the idea. He has discouraged the last two. The reason is that this type of video has two drawbacks* a) constant sound audio portion* it cannot be interrupted for flight calls. b) We may run into conflict with existing advertising in the kiosks. He would like to see some type of music in the terminal rather than this. Maybe the City would be better to have their own showing areas in Kenai to see. The square footage rate for this would not bring in much money. Atty. Rogers said all commercial enterprises let in the airport have been pursuant to RFP's. An exclusive would not be granted or else you would have to allow equal access to any other such business. Councilwoman O'Reilly asked Mr. Goodwin if he had this type of thing in place now. Mr. Goodwin replied no, this type of thing is in hotels. Councilwoman O'Reilly asked, what would the time limit be? Mr. Goodwin replied, two hour loop of segments, --_ f l� - ---- - - ; - - KENAI CITY - COUNCIL - - - -- -- -- - - - - -- - - -- - 1 _ APRIL 20, 1988 PAGE 3 " 1/9 advertising, 2/3 entertainment. Councilwoman -,; f Swarner asked if the Airport Comm. had discussed this. ,F Airport Manager Ernst replied it was brought to the a.; Commission at a work cession. Councilwoman Swarner said r t she would like to give it to the Airport Commission, this type of proposal in general. Mayor Williams _ suggested they discuss some type of stop-go system when - -" it is necessary. Council agreed to refer this to the Airport Comm. ° 8-3 Clarence Ladd - Proposal to Close Senior Center -.,. Carpenter Shop & Additional Vehicle Parking - - - - Clarence Ladd, Kenai. Mr. Ladd distributed material. Parking area. The space is inadequate, the south side would be best for enlarging. He and Glenn Jackson have offered material and labor if the City furnishes gravel. Workshop. Safety has been a concern. It has been in operation for 5-6 years without an accident. it should be used only by qualified persons. Many tasks are being done in the shop without electric equipment, for repair more than -any other reason. The pictures show is to ` both men and women keep busy there, that vital their well being. Repair work that has been done at the Center has been done by them. The director ordered :, '•...: material to repair chairs. It need windows and ventilation for a smoking room. Why dismantle when we already have it? He asked to have his pictures Y " returned. it is his desire that the shop be kept open. There are many seniors here this date. Councilwoman -- = Swarner asked, what is the City liability? Atty. h Rogers replied, he met with Kurt Olson and reviewed it. The liability of the City is extensive. The reasons are: there is safety equipment, it is not always used. - There is equipment on the machines dependent on tt' - operators. There is no supervision by an employee of the City other than Grogram Director Porter. She is - not qualified nor does she have the time to supervise. ,: ,... There is__no training by City employees for their use. 1 There has not been a critique by engineers, there will be i! the shop stays open. It will be reflected in our insurance premium. The premium would go up if there was an accident. The senior citizens would not be covered by workmen's compensation. it was put to a ;. vote, it was not overwhelming but was voted to close. Councilwoman -Monfor noted, in the -_pictures- there- -is a_-- list of workshop rules. It has to have a permit of -instructions,-there-are none,-_It_also says -they must --- -- - - --- --- - - ---- - ------------------------ a ,..; use goggles, the picture shows no goggles. Councilwoman O'Reilly asked, how many seniors uue the shop on a regular basis? Mr. Ladd replied, in the last few months, there is steady use. The shop is used without electric equipment. Many people are using it the same as the craft room, electricity is in there with a kiln, they could be hurt there. Councilwoman O'Reilly noted the rules are posted. Is there anything to prevent someone using them that knows nothing about the equipment? Mr. Ladd replied no, they should not be t used without supervision. He suggested the plugs should be pulled when not in use. We can do much there without using electric equipment. There are 50-60 #' people i., the aom�eunity that are willing to keep it a.;.. +.... ` = open. in most cases they do not use electric equipment. Councilwoman No nfor asked, what if we let it open and took out the electric equipment? Mr. Ladd 7�.. KEN41 CITY COUNCIL APRIL 20, 1988 PAGE 4 said he would feel bad. There are qualified people that,use it. He suggested two people at one time for safety. The City employees can use it also- It belongs to the City. Betty Warren, Box 116, Kenai. She did not want to see it closed either. The vote was 44 to open, 54 to close. There are mitigating circumstances now. She is concerned about safety. There are people who are visually and physically impaired that use it. It is+ 1 ' used very little. It cost $150 sq. ft. to make an "-r addition. We are bulging. The wood shop is being used - - ',�}`'',' for craft people. We do not want to take out those . !� -- things. Perhaps people - Perhople that do not use the senior i+ - - - center signed under the 44 votes. She did not t n Mr. Ladd should go to business people in the City - None of those people have a right to say how we operate our center. We have had volunteers numerous times " going to the shop to help and no one showed up. She agreed with Mr. LaAd regarding the parking. City Manager Bxighton asked if Council on Aging had taken a position on this. Mrs. Warren replied, they voted on -...:..... it. it was in the April newsletter. They had a vote for one week. Councilwoman Monfor asked, did Mrs. :••� Warren think the seniors would be willing to pay the Mrs. Warren -`;' liability insurance to keep the shop open? =;+=° asked, all the seniors or those that use it? .,;, - Councilwoman Monfor replied, either. Mrs. Warren replied, they cannot afford it. -- ._ n !c Mayor Williams requested the Council on Aging submit a ' formal report and the insurance company submit a report on liability. Then Council will make a decision. Lady: Liability insurance would be on 5-8 people, not -. 90 people. Chances of an accident with that many people would be less. ' B-4 Jason Elson & Scott Walden - Alaska State Firefighters Convention Jason Elson. The Kenai Peninsula Chapter will host the 1986 Firefighters and Fire Chiefs Assn. meeting. it is the legislative arm for the fire services. They support legislation, there 800+ members -paid and volunteer. There are 100 members in the Fire Chiefs ;j. Assn. Kenai is the youngest, approximately 26 years. 143 members Peninsula -wide, including Homer, Seward, i Th rose of •�o n Soldotna; --Kenai,- Anchor- -Pointy-Nikisk . - -- a pu p the conference is: a) on -going legislation, and b) - - - - - - - - -training- sessions_.- _The--theme_iQ-Firefighter Safety. They will promote tourism with this. He has asked the firefighters to visit the Kenai Peninsula before or after the meeting. They will transport them to other areas of the Peninsula during the session. The support has been overwhelming. They have the support of the Kenai Peninsula caucus and the chambers of Commerce. Scott Walden. Three years ago they submitted an application for hosting the meetings. it was granted to the Peninsula. They had a Peninsula meeting a year ago to bid on the area. it was a secret ballot, Kenai was unanimous. The main reason was access - air and road. it will be at the KCHS auditorium. They will have many vendors. The conference has traditionally been at one site. Many people in the State have not been to the Peninsula. They will have training throughout the Peninsula, with bus service. They expect 1/3 of the total membership. They are planning a minimum of 300 people. The Assn. is self-supporting, part is from the Alaska Firefighters Assn., part is grant, and part is thq Kenai Peninsula Assn. They hope to have a small profit to put towards next year's meeting. One of the obstacles is this is a Kenai genin$ula function, Kenai City is sponsoring it. There are 300 registered for the miieting. City Manager Brighton noted I40%-50% will bring spouses. Councilman Ackerly suggested the Assn. get a follow-up at the end of the session for the Econ. Devel. data bank. Councilwoman bwarner noted in the packet, it is not the Lowell Thomas gallery. Mr. Elson invited Council -to the Open House at the Fire Dept. Mayor Williams added, he will be lobbying for location of the fire training field in the Borough. We could become the fire training site for the whole state. B-5 Jerry Near, Bud Lofstedt - LID's Jerry Near, Ridgeway. In 1983, he and Bud Lofstedt Mold a parcel of 25 lots in Redoubt Terrace to a local builder. The builder put in water & sewer at his own expense. The value increased so the builder got $85,000 additional from the bank. More homes were built. The builder petitioned the City for an LID of $70,00O to pave roads. As the economy began to erode, the builder could not pay back on the second. The builder never paid the City on the LID. He also defaulted on the first. The bank instituted foreclosure and said they wanted the property. in one year they took the property and then gave it back to Mr. Near and Mr. Lofstedt. They are the first mortgagees. it is $70,000 in debt, most of it in arrears. They find themselves under foreclosure in the City. They are not alone. If this comes down it will pull other properties down and put a substantial amount of land on the market. Bud Lofstedt, Box 1616, Kenai. To solve this without a loss, they are requesting 90 days to bring this current. They could sell enough to bring it current. if they cannot, they will give back the land to the City. it is not their fault. They sold in good faith. The builder has not paid anything on this, they owe it all. If they could have the City's help, they will try to bring it current. Atty. Rogers said some time back he was party to a meeting with Mr. Lofstedt, Mr. Near and -City Manager__Brighton. _ Although -we -- are further down the road, the property they speak of is presently advertised in the paper. The listed owner is NBA. We take our records from the -Kenai Borough. --He believed - - - - it was in the April 19 paper. They have requested 90 days to bring this current. There is no way in the legal process, that he is aware of, to stop the process and start over. If Council gave special help to one, it stops the proceedings. You don't start again, you have to -start over. We cannot hold this in abeyance. The other problem is you would have to differentiate between this parcel and other parcels that request the same consideration. He sees a problem of equity. Councilwoman Monfor said she did not think they could decide now. Are we foreclosing on NBA? Atty. Rogers replied no, we are going to propose. Councilwoman Monfor asked, did we know that when we started foreclosure? Atty. Rogers replied yes, but ownership is not the question, the debt is the question. Councilwoman Monfor asked, if somebody out there is E: willing to work with the City to pay back the money J -. . . J j KENAI CITY COUNCIL APRIL 2C, 1988 PAGE 6 I that they owe, she would be willing to talk with them. We should not be in the land business. Why are we not willing to work with them if they are willing toworkof L with us? Atty. Rogers explained, there is the right redemption. It exists at this time till the court rules. Councilwoman Swarner asked, if they had come ;before it was published, would it be more legal? Atty. _ Rogers replied no, this is not property we Held paper t on, this was tmprovoments at the request of the owners at the time. The fvt that people bought from other people is of no legal consequence. Mayor Williams said _ we have a group problem with foreclosure on several properties. We cannot take this entire group of properties presently being -foreclosed on without - -- --- --= setting aside the entire group of properties. in Oct. AHFC put a hold on foreclosures. We can take that position here also. if we do, we have to see what will happen on July 1 to see if there are any others. Councilwoman O'Reilly suggested a work session. Mayor Williams asked, when is the date for foreclosure? � Atty. Rogers replied he did not know. Mayor Williams said there is a period of time that people can come forward, the first right of redemption. if you paid, - the property would revert back to you. The City will r ne,. put out for market right away. There is a period of time involved. Mr. Lofstedt noted the 90 days puts them through July. Atty. Rogers said what you do in any instance will have a bearing on those paying their assessments. There are some large assessments coming due in July, ex: inlet Woods, $250,000. Will we be setting a precedent for them or others or those now current that would not want to be? Mayor Williams asked that Administration have information regarding the time between foreclosure and redemption period for - the next meeting. C.

In the 86-67 capital improvement list, the sewer interceptor for Thompson Pk was #5 for $1.45 Million. In 87-86 it was #12 for $1,450,000. In 88-89 it is voided from M1 through #10. It was dropped from health & safety also. Why has it been totally dropped? Why is the City considering improving the water system that is a user supported system? The proper method is to assess users, not assess all citizens. 30% of the citizens are non -users, they should not pay. He asked Council to defeat the resolution, do a study of Thompson Pk - what assessments would be for water & sewer to be installed, contact each property- owner- -regarding what -their .fee-Ungs are► _. then reconsider the resolution. The only - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - ---- - - -information- from__ omnson Pk was -the petition with 2 questions a) would you like to see sewer in - Thompson Pk, and b) would you like to see water in Thompson Pk. The City would not be smart to install one or the other, but both. Council unanimously voted not to put finish gravel on Thompson Pk till they made a decision on water & sewer. If we installed, we would lose a large amount of gravel. The Council planned to go in C it had with water & sewer at a later time. ounC 25%-50% assessment policy for paving and water & sewer. There are people in Thompson Pk in dire need of water & sewer. The banks, City and Borough gave permission to have common water and sewer, that should not have been allowed. It was dropped from the capital improvement list because it was too large a sum. The first 2-3 projects 00. have $562, 0 are $2.98 Million. You already -- You have $8900000 to complete, that is cheaper. �... 7 - k KENAI CITY COUNCIL APRIL 20, 1988 PAGE 8 Mayor Williams replied, this is the actual cost to take a sewer interceptor to Thompson Pk, not through it. Mr. Wagoner replied, he is willing to pay to get into Thompson Pk, not the City. He did not think the people in Thompson Pk expected to pay. Aliak only paid 25%. He is asking for reconsideration of some capital improvement priorities. He asked that this be defeated and the people of Thompson Pk be consulted. Mayor Williams said the survey he reviewed was more than informal. This action was based on that. Thompson Pk survey did not give a clear result as to water & sewer. The water system a are self supporting when constructed, but most -were built by government moneys. Originally they thought $196,000 was available of $561,000. From the Fairbanks lawsuit, $562,000 was made available to us. It was his understanding $2,243,000 was to get the sewer line to Thompson Pk. We are $1,700,000 short -at this time. He would like to clean up the water they already have. Councilwoman O'Reilly asked, when was the survey done? Admin. Asst. oerstlauer replied, 1982. City Manager Brighton explained, the result was, 50% wanted water, the same 50% did not want sewer. 50% wanted sewer. Whatever they did, 1/2 would be mad. we have had water to Thompson Pk for at least 9 years, it has not been distributed because there was not enough interest in running water through. The $500,000 is match money, to use it we have to match. This resolution is to ask for direct grant without match. Councilwoman O'Reilly said if the survey was done in 1982 and there is a question as to how scientific it was, she would think the population has changed considerably. Councilwoman Monfor said one of the reasons water was not taken into Thompson Pk is they would have to tear everything up to put in sewer. They wanted to put in both at the same time. Mayor Williams said, regardless of whether we do together or not, you have to tear up the streets 2 times.- We accept the grant, we will have to match with $500,000. if we re -allocate to other moneys, we will be able to receive as a grant. He asked if we were bound by the previous resolution and match or will we have to rescind the last resolution? Mr. Wagoner noted the figure he had was $1,450,000. What is the new figure? Mayor Williams replied, $2,243-,000. Public --Works -- - - Director Kornelis said the engineering design has been completed. --That-was -the old figure. The -- - engineering has not been completed yet. Mr. Wagoner said the instructions for survey were not specific. He is asking for a specific proposal. They could have 2 assessment districts, one in Valhalla also. if the City did not plan. to go through with this, why did they ask for this in the first place? There was $4-1/2 Million to $5 Million in the City reserve. Mow we are up to $7 Million. How far are we going to allow this fund to grow? If it grows, you will have trouble with the taxpayers in the City. it grows by $4,000-$6,000 per year. We could do 50% of the project -now and get it half done. Mayor Williams said the money was not totally available to us. We thought only part was available, we thought we could match. Fairbanks sued the state and won. We now have $562,000+, $400,000 more than originally. We have an opportunity to get all KENAI CITY COUNCIL - - °- APRIL 20, 1988 PAGE 9 It® rr with no strings attached. Mr. Wagonor asked, where was the $562,000 from? Mayor Williams replied, that was the original grant. Mr. Kornelis explained, the original grant was $2 Million, they only allotted $562,000. Councilman Measles asked, how long is the original grant good for? Mr. Kornelis replied, it is from DEC, it is not a direct appropriation. The grant does not show a deadline. if it is not spent, DEC can spend at their discretion. Councilman Measles said if we don't ask for re -allocation, how long do we have the $562,000? City Manager Brighton explained, this is different than a capital improvement project grant, if we do not use in the next year, the legislature can re -allocate. Till - ; -- — -- - - - - the money is committed, it is subject to redistribution by the legislature. Councilwoman = O'Reilly asked, if we request re -allocation, do we have to have a special project, or can we sit on it for awhile? Mr. Brighton replied, it must be somewhat definitive. Our wording is drinking _ water improvements. Councilwoman Swarner asked, what guarantee do we have we will not lose it at " the next legislature? Mr. Brighton replied, none. The reason we got a call from the legislators is, many legislators are into DEC funding and re -appropriation. if we do not ask for re -appropriation it could be re -allocated to other areas by grant. The legislators appropriate money, any not spent is subject to re -appropriation. The call was to protect our appropriation and to see if it was committed to a project. Councilwoman Monfor asked, by accepting Res. 87-16, did that commit us to a project? Finance Director Brown noted, we have not received it yet. Mr. Brighton explained, we have not appropriated the match money yet. Councilwoman O'Reilly said we are talking about the same $562,000. Why did it have to be a match before but not now? Mr. Kornelis explained, DEC grants are always a match. Councilwoman O'Reilly asked, if it were re -allocated, would it be DEC? Answer - no. Councilman Ackerly added, we can do anything we want then. Councilwoman Monfor noted, this is specific. Councilman Measles said that limits it to water. We have water in Thompson Pk, so it takes it out of Thompson Pk. If you put in water, you should put in sewer. The survey should say both, not either/ors and, are you willing to pay for - - -- --MOTION,-_Amendment: - Councilman Ackerly moved, seconded by Councilwoman Monfor, to amend the motion as follows: Heading, line 4, delete the word "drinkings" Line 5, add the words "and sewer" after the word "water." 4th WHEREAS, line 2, add the words "and sewer" after the word "water." 11 0.
