The Council set August 24th at 7:00 P.M. in the Library conference room. VOTE: Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote 2. Ordinance 1279-88 - Increasing Rev/Appns - F"eral Revenue Sharing - $332,551 MOTION: Councilwoman O'Reilly moved adoption of Ordinance 1279-88, seconded by Councilwoman Bailie. Mayor Williams called for public comments, there were none. Councilwoman Swarner: Regarding the parks and exercise equipment. Do you have pictures of the equipment? Answer yes. Councilwoman Swarner: Mow much space will it take up and where are you planning to install it? -Answer from Director McGillivray: It will be in the weight/exercise room. The space it would take up is minimal and won't create a problem. Councilwoman Swarner: I went and looked yesterday and did not feel there was that much space available. Will you have to get rid of any equipment to make room? Answer no. Councilwoman Swarner: It says that its purpose is to increase the heart rate. Director McGillivray: It is computer monitored and is being used in different places. It is a type of exercise that can be used by both young and older. The elderly should get an approval by a doctor prior to use. There are instructions. Councilwoman Swarner: I have a big problem spending $5,000 for a piece of equipment in a department that lost $20,000 last year in revenues. Mayor Williams asked Councilwoman Swarner how she arrived at that figure. Councilwoman Swarner answered that it came from the Finance Director's figures. Finance Director Brown: That was a reduction from the prior year. Councilwoman Swarner: Is there a charge for the use? Answer, there is a $3 charge for the use of the room. Councilwoman Bailie: Is this similar to a motorized treadmill? Answer yes. Councilman Mccomsey: I have a hard time with Councilwoman Swarner's comments. I didn't feel that the City was trying to make money from the Rec Center, I thought the facility was a good program for the citizens to get exercise. This is -- probably one-oP the only facilities -in the City that makes any money whatsoever. Does the library pay for itself?

KENAI CITY COUNCIL .'AUGUST 17, 19SS- -- PAGE 3 Councilwoman Bailie: I notice the members of the audience are straining to hear." I might remind Council to be aware of speaking UP. VOTE: Motion passed unanimously by roll cell vote 3. Resolution 88-59 - Rescind Resolution 87-4 - Establishing Eagle Rack/Tern Assessment District MOTION: Councilwoman Monfor moved for approval of Resolution 88-59, seconded by Councilwoman Bailie Mayor Williams called for comments from the public. Public Comments a. Duane Quellette, Eagle Rock: I am going to ask the Council to rescind this because I feel that at this point in time, Eagle Rock will be treated unequally, as far as the rest of the City is concerned regarding paving. I feel that -the method used in setting property assessments is also unfair. I think there are other methods that can be handled. A precedent has been set on free paving and the Council has worked itself into a situation where we have to work on a method that will work for the City for the next 20 years. Councilwoman Bailie: I might suggest at this time that we postpone this resolution. There is a committee that has been set up to study how we AV. be handling our capital improvement projects, and they possibly could come up with a scenario that would work better. So if we could postpone to an indefinite period of time until this group has a chance to present their findings to the Council. MOTION: Councilwoman Bailie moved to postpone to an indefinite time, seconded by Councilwoman O'Reilly. VOTE: Monfor - yes O'Reilly - yes Swarner - yes Williams - no Bailie - yes Mccomsey - yes 4. Resolution 88-69 - Expressing Concerns to State Regarding Wildwood Water SUPPIV MOTION: - — -- Councilwoman-Monfor-moved for -approval -of -Resolution -88-69- L �C V J ... K;NAI CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 17, 1988 PAGE 4IID Mayor Williams called for comments from the Public, there were none. Councilwoman Bailie: Quoted from the letter which stated that the City of Kenai is the provider of those services to that facility and are okitside the city boundary. City Manager Brighton: That facility -is outside the city boundaries. Mayor Williams: Is Councilwoman Bailie asked that verbiage be corrected in paragraph three? Answer yes. Councilwoman Bailie: The other question I have, I am wondering if the State of Alaska, if in fact this is outside our boundaries, why are we providing them -with water -and if we've taken it upon ourselves to do it, perhaps I've become a bit rynical from some of the treatment we've received recently from the Borough. City Manager Brighton: My response to that is the City has provided the water a sewer for Wildwood prior to the time I've been here. I am not sure what the agreement was originally that got the city to provide that service, but it has been ongoing for some time. PW Director Kornelis: I've been here eleven years and we were providing the service then. We've upgraded it a little bit, to the point of the meters and the pit that serves it. I don't know how the agreement came about, but there is an old agreement to provide service. I think it is something we should look at carefully because the service we are providing is based an a meter charge and we are investigating that because a meter charge allows for a much lower rate for more water than is being used there, i.e., once it goes through the meter it goes to the individual apartments. We are investigating changing that to a different rate, However it io a preliminary step. You will be getting something back from us probably this winter. Councilwoman Bailie: I'm not against the system. Will this then go to the State of Alaska as one of our top priority item and if that is the case, then we are going to schedule a session with our lobbyist to sit down and discuss our top priorities and I'm hoping this won't confuse matters. City Ma - nager Brighton: The "now therefore" clause its states that "the State of Alaska, through the Department of Corrections, appropriate the necessary funds" and is not indicative that the City of Kenai is considering this our top priorities. Councilwoman Bailie: But sometimes that happens. Money would be funneled- to --the City to that -facility -and having sent &-resolution such as this it could be pointed out that Kenai received X amount of -dollars -for -this City Manager Brighton: I think the purpose of this is to call the attention to the State of a facility that they have a I KBNAI CITY COUNCIL ---__-1 AEJdUST _17, 1988 f PAGE 5 responsibility for in which there is an inadequacy, hoping that they will address it without it being one of the City's priorities on CIp funding. If it fails out there, its their problem and not ours. Councilwoman Bailie: Keith's suggestion is a very good one and we should definitely look into doing away with the metering of it and some type of situation out there. We owe it to our local people who have individual businesses or apartments or whatever. If we are providing water out there it should be on a more financially equitable basis. Mayor Williams: By way of refreshing memories, this was brought about through conversations with Susan Humphry-Harnett (sic) the Director of Corrections for the State of Alaska. We have long recognized the inadequacy of the -water main to Wildwood. -We have - also long recognized the fact that the entire water main system is wrought with problems. In discussions with Susan Barnett on this matter, she requested that the City of Kenai request through her department, as a matter of her budgetary item, the upgrading of that water line. The person in charge of budgeting was also here that day and it is their intention to request this in the State's correctional budget. Up until this time that item has been a priority of the City over the last three years. This will give us the opportunity to give the responsibility of that request to the State. They are only indicating that they want support from us that we will accept the money to upgrade our portion of the water main as it goes through Mommsen Subdivision through the meters. I see it as a matter of expediency in removing from our priority list. VOTE: Motion passed by unanimous consent } S. Resolution 88-70 - Requesting State List Four Lanes of Spur iliahway as N1 Priority _ a MOTION• I Councilwoman O'Reilly moved for approval of Resolution 88-70, seconded by Councilwoman Swarner Mayor Williams called for continents from the public, there were none. Councilwoman Bailie asked if statistics were being sent along with this. The reason for the question is in listening to some of the candidates running for office, some of them are not aware of the amount of traffic that is moving. I know at one time Keith had come up with some concrete statistics and it wouldn't hurt to send them. City Manager Brighton: The State periodically does all of the ------- --- - --statistical -counting-on the- spur Highway, the Sterling,_and.other__ r� ."A u� i - _- KPMI- COaCF1CI4 __ - - - - _ _ - - _ _ _ _ - _ -L - __ _. - _ _- — Ai — — --- ATJGUST 17, 1988 PAGE 6 roads under its jurisdiction. We do not have the means for i providing those statistics ourselves. Those state were provided by the State. Councilwomen Bailie: What I am talking about is going out and providing those statistics to some of our legislators or some of the people who make decisions. Mayor Williams: We have had discussions with the State Highway Department and also with our legislators in prior sessions. The statistical data that you are referring to, 1961 to 1986 had been provided. It indicated five deaths, 565 accidents, 60 odd serious injuries. All that data has accompanied this request in the past. - We are now on hold, I had a point about 1992 for construction, 1991 for engineering, 1990 for reconnaissance. We have been - -- ----------------------- --- working each season trying to get that upgraded and I think this is a continuation. I cannot say for sure if that statistical data was provided through 1987. councilwoman McComsey: I have noticed highway counters the past couple weeks on Forest Drive both sides, Marathon Road, and others. - - VOTE: - Motion passed by unanimous consent 6. Resolution 88-71 - Reauestina State Amend Fish -Tax Law MOTION: Councilwoman Bailie moved for adoption of Resolution 88-71, seconded by Councilman McComsey Mayor Williams called for comments from the public, there were none. Councilwoman Swarner: Is this one of the resolutions we were going to pass on to the AML? Answer from Mayor Williams: This is a continuation of the requests that were made in the last two previous session of the legislature. I have had personal meetings with the Mayors of Seward and Homer and in those discussions we all agreed that we would make this a priority item for our group from the Peninsula. I would hope that we could take this to the AML and request support. - VOTE: Motion passed by unanimous consent council Recessed - _ D. - COMMISSION/COMMITTEE-REPORTS ---- -- - --- - 1.

Mayor Williams reported on the Navy Home Porting Team Visit. PW Director Kornelis: There were three individuals, two from California and one from Washington. They were looking at sites for both harbor and P-3 Orions. They viewed Nikiski and Airport Manager Ernst gave them a tour of the airport both from the ground and the air. They seemed to be impressed. We furnished them with booklets answering questions on all different aspects including schools, residences, utilities, etc. They will go back and present that to the personnel who -work for the Navy and they will narrow it down to three communities. Airport Manager Ernst: This was the same group that was in Homer and the rest of the state. Once they received the brochure from the City, the Admiral wanted the team to come back and look at the City of Kenai. They seemed to be very impressed and pleased with what they found here. The report that they will make to the Admiral will not be a recommendation on their part, rather an objective look at the City. Councilwoman O'Reilly: Did we ever find out for sure how many personnel we are talking about if we were to get this program? Answer from the Airport Manager: No. That was the first thing they pointed out was that these were the questions the Navy would not tell them when they are making their evaluation hoping this would make them more objective. That seems difficult in view of the fact that a carrier holds 3,000 people. A frigate holds 300 people, so it seems hard to tell how a community will fare with that type of situation. It was the same for Seward and Kodiak and all other potential communities. Mayor Willieutm: I would like to commend the City for their efforts on behalf of the Council in preparing for this visit. I might add that they managed on very short notice to pull together quite a cadre of citizens of the community including merchants, directors of the facilities such as Dr. Pomeroy for schools, a representative from real estate, virtually every aspect of the City. The response that I've had is that it was very positive. The potential number of personnel of the planes could consist of two or three squadrons. The number of personnel in that case could be as high as 200. 1 plan to be back in contact with the Navy and Senator Steven's office in the near future. 3.

Harbor Commission Leon Quesnel, Chairmans We held a meeting Monday and updated several items: A. The Kenai River dredging project is still before the Corps of Engineers. The outlook does not appear good. We have Sent pictures and further information. b. Update on dock, Keith has informed us that we have received our permit for the dock staging area. C. Cold storage facility placement has been determined wetlands. d. Kenai River Flats Viewing Area Project is ongoing. Fred Braun will be getting a letter to the City regarding what the Chamber can provide by way of labor and material. - - e. Fish & Game Determination of Habitat - concerns the creek upstream of the dock, there has been no response, however, we know it will take about 4 to 5 years. f. Commercial Fishing Study - That belongs to the EDC but I was asked to keep an eye on it. I spoke with Mr. Coughenhower recently and he has sent out 495 surveys to the business community and a similar number will be sent out to fishermen by December 15th. He expects to have an interim report by the end of November and hoping to get a final report by the end of December. At the present time he is well within budget. - g. Navy Home Porting Survey - would like to add one of the Commission members accompanied the team to Nikie'.:i and gave them an overview of that area. h. City Dock Operations - No figures available as yet, but to all accounts it was a successful year. L. We had several fish processors attend a meeting on Monday and one of the concerns was fuel handling. They're are asking to increase the amount of fuel and hoses sufficient to handle 8 to 10 boats at a time. x don't recommend the City get into the fuel business but rather as a service. The fishing industry is our life blood. J. Release of Tidelands - our recommendation was to release these lands. k. Ports Alaska meeting is scheduled for 9/23 in Anchorage. Barry Eldridge will attend. 1. Harbor Masters meeting will be held in Sitka November 14 to 18th. We recommend at least one member of the Commission attend and also the PW director and dock massager. Councilwoman Swarner: What is the probably cost of this fuel, answer, we have no idea at this time. Mayor Williams: It has been a long standing situation with the Harbor Commission that they do send representatives to the State _Harbor Masters.meatings_every.year. - I --believe there is money in the travel budget. Councilman McComsey: Would the -city-Manner agree to"t a Public" Works Director going? City Manager Brighton: What Leon is getting at is that Commission members must get prior approval of this Council before taking any trips or making expenditures. y- I l { t4ENAI CITY COUNCIL - AOGUST 17, 1988 PAGE 9 MOTION: Councilman McComsey moved to send a member of the Commission to the State Harbor Masters meeting, seconded by Councilwoman O'Reilly. VOTE: Motion passed by unanimous consent 5. Kenai Bicentennial Commission Mayor Williams; Normally the report would be given at this time, I wonder if it would be appropriate for the Council to continue a limited overview of the bicentennial system by asking our member who will probably still be a member of that group to report on __ what is happening with the Visitors and Convention Bureau. If so we could retitle this item to "Visitors and Convention Bureau Report". I was inspired by Mr. Walter Annenburg's (sic) retirement speech in which he managed to sell the TV Times publication and in his statement he said he was now going to lend his wealth to more philanthropic efforts in trying to give away a considerable amount of his estate to organizations and promotional purposes. With permission of Council it might be timely for the City of Kenai to become acquainted with the gentleman. 6. Library No meeting until next month. 7. Recreation Commission No report until next month. Councilwoman Bailie noted the lights on the fountain arc not working. Director McGillivray will take care of it. Councilman McComsey: I believe Commissioner Siekawitch has k transferred out of state. As he has served for many years I believe he deserves some recognition for his efforts. Councilwoman Swarner: I have a complaint about the latrines Cunningham Park. Do you regularly go through all the rest rc on a scheduled basis? Director McGillivray: There is a schi The last time they were pumped we had run out of the flowery substance. We have it now and it was been placed yesterday.

Plannina & Zoning -Commission Mayor Williams: The minutes have been provided. 9_, Misc. Mayor Williams: The minutes of the Beautification Committee are in your packet. Councilman McComsey: This is about the banners under discussion and I talked to Keith a little about it. I believe the folks have a 5 year warranty and should be sent back to the manufacturer and I think that when they first came out and if they will fix them for nothing than we should send them back. Councilwoman Bailie: I appreciate Keith's memo -on the banners. The way they are set up now, the 5 year warranty was on the banners and fading. The problem is not the material but the mounting. They are not being displayed as well as they could be. According to Janet, having talked to them down there, they state that they should be fine, but they aren't. I think the route that Keith is taking here is probably the most beneficial. I am very concerned about the wind damage and this is where the warranty comes in. They seem to be holding up that way. Its more the fact that we can't keep them up properly. Chuck Perine says there is a whole different method which includes the shape of the banner and grommets. This company is the one that did the banners for the Olympics and had no problem at all. Beautification has wrestled with this problem for severed months. PW Director Kornelis indicated they would be working on them this week, however, Airtek has had some problem with their boom truck. Councilwoman Swarner: Has anyone bothered to take a photograph of the banners to show them how they get all bunched together? Answer no. The wind has been whipping them so hard that the material where the end of the rod comes through has been ripped so the banner slides toward the pole. There is a grommet on the pole side of the banner and that is tied with an electrical tie and that isn't most of the problem. E. MINUTES 1. *Regular Meeting, August 3, 1988 Councilwoman O'Reilly: I think we need to do something about the timely delivery of minutes. We received them tonight for the meeting two weeks ago. City Manager Brighton: We did address the question this week. We did not finalize any particular formula other than to indicate that. -after the _CQunc_il_-meeting we -would have- another. meeting__ and try to get this situation resolved so the Council has their minutes on a timely basis.

I believe last year ' there were 600. It rune from Sunday through Saturday and in talking to the communities that handle conventions, they say they can unequivocally say that each conventioneer will spend, on an ,I average, of $150 per day. Computing this out; a group of 300 r spending 3 days, with that money turning over three times, is almost $250,000. 1 think the expenditure of $10,000 is money very well spent. Mayor Williams: The economic impacts states that there should be some $320,000 spent in the local economy. We should realize somewhere in the neighborhood of $20,000 in sales taxes.

Discussion - Release of Tidelands for Lease - Seaward of Kristine 8 D #1 Councilwoman Monfor: I would like to know for sure where this is and secondly I am not clear on what they are for. Administrative Assistant Gerstlauer: There are two individuals that are requesting an area of submerged lands that are next to each other. They are located along the river between Salamatof and Dragnet. The maps are not entirely accurate, but they give you a rough idea. According to the code you need to consider releasing the land for lease, not to include the individual or use. For 30 days -we will take lease applications and after that time the lease and use will be submitted to you for approval. It is doubtful that anyone else would be interested. Councilwoman Swarner: A couple months ago we talked about leasing tidelands and we approved the concept. Adminiotrative Assistant Gerstlauer: That was on a different parcel of land. Councilwoman Swarner: Has that been signed? Answer no. We don't know what the fair market value of these lands are? Answer no. I did get an appraisal of the other parcel on the other side of Salamatof and for four acres it worked out to approximately $2,000 per year and these are about half that size. You are looking at a revenue of roughly $1,000. Councilwoman Swarner: And how much did the appraisal cost? Answer $600 or $700. At that time did you say that the lessee should pay the appraisal price? Answer no. The survey price. Councilwoman Swarner: How much was the survey? Answer, $2700. This parcel will not have the survey done until after you approve the release. Councilwoman Swarner: I don't have any problem with the lease application but I think the lessee should pay the surveying costs. City Manager Brighton: We agreed that we think they should too, but it would necessitate a code change. Councilwoman Swarner: I would like to see that done. I don't feel the residents of the City should pay for something and not get it back. Council agreed, City Attorney will prepare the documents. Councilman McComeey:- Has this practice been done in the past, any piece of property that has been leased or sold by the City they have had to pay the surveyor? Administrative Assistant Gerstlauer: The City has always had the cost of surveying borne by the City. The only exception has been Northland Services just recently. Airport lands are subdivided. It isn't that often that we have to go in and subdivide an area. I think it will happen lose -often -in .the- future. because . the mjority - of subdivided now. There still are a lot of tidelands that belong to City_that_are not surveyed.

Finance Director Brown: I cannot answer until I know the cost of the surveying compared to the rental rate. If the cost of the survey is negligible compared to the rental rate you can say you t` are getting your money back over the rent, but if the rental rate is low, then I agree with you. -"• Councilman McComsey: Is this bid on a square footage basis? Administrative Assistant Gerstlauer, no. what actually goes out for bid is the lease application. There is not exactly a bid situation, but there is an open application period and we would continue to lease it at 6% of fair market value as we do all of , our leases. The provisions for the tidelands ordinance are the -- ---- - -`"-- same as for the airport as far as leasing is concerned. Q Councilman McComsey: If we do the surveying its going to take us . . three years to get that back out of the lease. If we do change this leasing ordinance is that going to entail everyone that leases land from us now to pay the surveying costs? Administrative Assistant Gerstlauer: There are two separate ".._ ordinances, Title 11 is for tidelands and Title 21 is the airport and city lands. ?

ADNINISTRATION REPORTS 1. Mayor None 2. CityManager a. City Manager Brighton reported that this is Dana Gerstlauer's last meeting as she is leaving the state and moving on to Portland. Dana has been employed by the City for the past seven years. Dana has been extremely competent and efficient. Kim �. Howard will be taking her place. Mayor Williams thanked Administrative Assistant Dana Gerstlauer for all the help rendered over the years of service. Councilwoman Swarner: Is the final application for the grant for the cold storage facility been sent in? Answer yes. Councilwoman Swarner: When are we going to hear from them? Administrative Assistant Gerstlauer: Possibly within 2 to 3 weeks. It was well received. Mayor Williams: We nearly had a visit from the EDA people. They were on their way to the Pribilofs and the weather closed in. However, the weather cleared and they continued on. 3. Attorney a. City Attorney Rogers: Last week I attended the ABA convention and found out how little I know. Various section meetings, both the municipal condemnation and litigation. it was great to talk with various leaders in this field from around the country. The computerization of the City offices is fortunate in view of what's happening in the other communities. You are in a position here, through the various departments, especially the legal department, we are equipped now to talk to these people on line. As far as the municipal segments are concerned they have asked me to try aad set up a group of users so we can trade information among the municipal attorneys. Hopefully to alleviate re -inventing the wheel. One thing of interest to me is that there are others out there wanting to get such a group going within the ABA. I hope to get it off the ground very soon. It was also gratifying to find that there are so many other people that have the same problems whether it be airport condemnations, float --plane-- basins,_ -then you. get_ that, many -people together you find that you can discuss those things, give something hopefully, but jou always gain more than you get. This is the second one I have attended in the last 6 years anditwas wellworth-itt.-- - , r• KENAI CITY COUNCIL +- AUGUST 17,-1988 PAGE 16 b. I believe there will be an Executive Session and it has been advertised. We have advertised for a replacement for Ron Sutcliffe. We have received applications from a number of people and the ultimate decision is that the Council * to the Charter. I have reviewed them, I have called them, but I need to meet with the Council concerning that. JL Councilman McComsey: Have we heard anything about the condemnation? City Attorney Rogers: We are finally getting to the point of having the masters lw�d we are going to try the case. If you recall we disclosed a sum that we thought was an equitable and fair sum. obviously since the other side wants to proceed to litigate the matter in front of a master, they feel that they can acquire more money. That just came about today, I have a letter on my desk indicating the selection of a master and his desire to proceed. We want it to get resolved. We don't feel it's going to cost any more money but its nice to get it cleaned up. Mayor Williams: We are pushing into the third year. City Attorney Rogers: That is short by some standards. We are in our sixth year with the utility relocation case. We have an oral argument scheduled next month. It was originally in Kodiak and there are attempts to move the oral argument in front of Manson to Anchorage and I doubt that I'll bode that because its a savings of both time and money to the City to argue the matter in Anchorage as opposed to Kodiak. 4. Citit Clerk a. Before you is a list of candidates for the October election. b. We are going to have a Board of Adjustment on the Foster objection to the Planning & Zoning decision and that will be scheduled for September 7th. It will be posted and all the residents in the area will be notified. C. The Task Force had their first meeting Thursday, there will be another meeting tomorrow night. d. The microfilming is done. This has saved a great deal of space in the office. One small roll of microfilm is the equivalent of one file drawer. I have 25 to 30 rolls of film. e. There are some proposed changes to business license fees. If you are interested in reading it, it will be biannual. There is a time limit if the Councilhasany objection or opinions on it. f. AML registration is starting. I will, as in the past, make reservations for seven people without names. I will book one hotel and plane reservations. Please let me know as soon as possible so that I can make a more definite statement. g. Regarding people who cannot hear. I have been moving chairs forward and people are stilMeaning forward.

KM1 CITY COUNCIL _ AOGUBT 17, 198a PAGE 17 +' S. Finance Director j 'j Finance Director Brown: There are two reports in the packet. Councilwoman Bailie: Offered thanks for both reports, esp. on the land sale note. I can sae there is a problem no matter what way we go. I agree with your suggestion that the last scenario would + be the easiest for the City to try. None would be great but perhaps we could offer something. Councilman Mccomsey: Has anyone come forward asking for relief? ". Finance Director Brown, no. There was one request from Don Aase, however that was a different situation. We have had a couple -- -- - 3 people who wanted to pay cash and.get a discount on the note. - People may be coming to Council members but not me. Councilwoman Bailie: I have had people approach me, not necessarily to say they wanted something done, the comments to me were I just can't afford the payments, I'll just have to let the land go back. In one instance it has happened. As a Council member I would much prefer this land stay in private ownership if -. we could make it easier without costing the City. Finance Director Brown: We have explored at least six different way, including the lower interest rate. I don't particularly care for that option but on the second page, of all.these options, WF those last two are perhaps the best. In that arrangement their monthly payment doesn't go up so high and would cause the City the least problem. It may take a code change, I don't know at this time. if Council consents, a five year adjustment and for the remainder of the term an increase in the rent to make the 20 year pay off then we can do that. It may just take a letter from the City Manager to make it available. Councilwoman O'Reilly: I would have no problem if its made '^ JJ available to the current note holders. It doesn't seem it would .. I be attractive to many, but it would be an option. Councilwoman Swarner: How many note holders do we have. Finance Director Brown: I would guess about forty. Councilwoman Swarner: I am concerned with the extra work the finance department would :. have to do. Finance Director Browns I don't think there would-be a lot of- 'f;..` extra work. We would need to find out if we need a code change. Then we would work on that. We would notify the note holders. "- Then if the ones that want to participate would have to have a new - collection agreement and I'm not sure if we'd even have to have a --AeW.8eed-of.trust _note. We would at least have to have a new collection agreement. The bank collects the money. City Manager Brighton: I think there ought--to--be-some sort of - - `, - test requirement because if you make this blanket there is nothing I • KENAI CITY COUNCIL ` AOGUST 17, 1988 PAGE 18 to say that all forty note holders won't come in and take advantage of this situation. What that test should be, I don't know, but they should have to qualify in order to avail themselves under easier requirements under the land Bale act. Mayor Williams: Personally, I am against tampering with the system at this point. It has been more than two years since the down turn in the present economic situation. We have pretty much come out of the problems. The foreclosure rates are diminishing rapidly. By every statistic that is being brought forward the economic down turn is probably at the bottom and perhaps turning up. The only people that are in trouble now are the ones that may have been over extended in the first place. Councilwoman O'Reilly: I would suggest instead of notifying note holders, rather when one comes to the City asking for relief, we could offer the other options. Would that be legitimate? To me that would be the test Bill was talking about. Mayor Williams: If we set the motion up for one we have to set it up for all. If only one or two members of those holding notes are that deeply in trouble they should be coming to us. Obviously our finance director has not heard of any, nor have 1. Councilwoman Bailie: I have heard from people on more than one occasion. There may be only one or two out there that are in trouble and if the City has the option to make things a little easier, than I for one am for trying to do that. We all see that banks will allow people to refinance their homes and I would hope that we are astute enough to do so also. Granted, things may be starting to turn around, but in the process these people that are trying to hold on to their land, maybe things won't turn around fast enough. Mayor Williams: We have had a bunch of land coming back to the City. From a land financing mortgage standpoint, I don't see any option here that I would be willing to take. I couldn't say I could come up with $40,000 ten years from now. Councilwoman Monfor: At this point, I would rather leave things status quo and the problem can present itself to administration and if it is something that cannot be resolved, then it can come to Council, instead of making a blanket change that may or may not work.

It looks as though they are going to contract it out at this time. b. Concerning the bond issue that passed several years ago for Council information.

City Manager Brighton: specifications must be drafted for the contractor to haul it and , they have to be aware of -the -bid -like -we do on anything else. It ---- is our intention to talk to the Borough Mayor tomorrow to see if they will give us permission to draft those specifications. 7. Airport Manager Airport Manager Ernsts I would like to give you a quick over vies of what's going on at the airport. a. The float plane basin is nearing completion. All the fencing „ for the perimeter securing it from the main airport has to be put in yet. Some seeding and final grading from the sideline from the tower to the basin is being done now. We are holding 16 applications for slots, we will have 35 slots available. I have to say, for the cost of the basin, Mr. Doyle has done a very good job. b. We have gone out for RFP's for Alpha and Bravo taxiways. Along with that we have the engineer working on phase two of the main runway and Charlie taxiway and I just received a letter form Murph O'Brian (sic) with the State Department of Transportation stating that the State may be reinstituting their 50% share of the - - him letter sponsors portion of the AIP projects. I have sent a indicating what we estimate the cost of the over lay project and welcome his review of the project and hopefully obtain that 50% funding. C. Fish hauling is over, there are still a few flights going out. It was not a fantastic year for them. d. Terminal renovation - Mr. Kluge is working on the plans and it looks like we are rapidly coming to the point that we will be reviewing that with him. e. The FAA maintenance department is in the process of moving out and will be completely out by tomorrow. f. Also, thanks to Dana who is secretary to the airport also. Councilwoman Swarner: On streets, I assume that Keith is responsible for stripes-bn -the streets. There -are -some -streets -- - - - - - - --- - where center lines are more visible than others.

PW Director Kornelies This " is the first year the State has told us they won't be doing it. We are going to have to make other arrangements, probably contract with a company that has a truck. We were hoping to get by this = - = year before approaching the problem. J. DISCUSSION _:.. 1. Citizens . a. Waldo Coyle: I live on Barabara Drive. As a point of Information; Wildwood water, if they don't get it from the City they are going to have to haul it a long way. Their water is not . fit to drink. My wife worked there for fifteen years and during - - - that time the 1964 earthquake occurring causing chemicals to be flown down to treat the water. Use of Executive Sessions on a whim is against the State Title 29 ' and if you notice, the old Title 29 was composed of numerous t._......... suits, mainly because of Executive Sessions. You don't even have to leave the Council Chambers to have it classed as an Executive Session. Somehow or other you conceived to pass things without the public having full knowledge of what's going on. It could be constituted as an Executive Session and the whole thing thrown out. I would advise the Council to use a little discretion about • the use of Executive Sessions. Those are used for finances and s -" - ---- _ such that would endanger the City and contracts that are not general public knowledge. Tidelands are a valuable asset. You can thank Ruby for the work I.: done towards that. .._�,.. .._... - - Ruby Coyle also got a truck to haul water so that you would have a Y _� backup on the fire department and get your insurance rates down. For years we had a chief that didn't want to have a truck to haul water. I notice that the press gets a full packet, the same that is given " - the Council but the public is denied that.

Council MOTION: Couneilmosian Monfor mowed to go into Heeeutive Session of the Council of the City of Kenai concerning personnel matters that could have an adverse affect on people or departments. I request the City Attorney join us, seconded by Councilwoman Bailie. Mayor Williams: Not having been informed of this on what the matter would be I an almost inclined to refuse my participation. Councilwoman Monfor: I would be glad to inform you if you wish to call a recess. I was asked earlier today by the Attorney to do this. Mayor Williams: The Attorney has asked that this be called? Attorney Rogers: Yes. I have indicated I wanted to discuss the replacement and the ultimate decision involves the Council and other individuals. VOTE: Monfor - yes O'Reilly - yes Swarner - yes Williams - yes Bailie - yes McComsey - yes Council adjourned to the zzecutive Session at 9:25 P.M. Council reconvened at 11:15 P.M. Mayor Williams: The Kenai City Council, in Executive Session, after having discussed the issue of the hiring of an Assistant City Attorney, has decided to direct the Administration to go back out for advertisements, in a broader perspective for advertising and obtain other applicants. Attorney Rogers: With stringent requirements. Mayor Williams: A letter was distributed to the Council by the Mayor, objecting to the Council actions regarding the Task Force. it is the Mayor's contention that the Council has circumvented the code, Chapter 1.90.010. The Council is in disagreement and has asked that the Attorney enter into the matter. Councilwoman Monfort: I would like the Attorney to read that chapter to us. Attorney Rogera: "KMC 1.90.010, creation. All boards, commissions and committees created by the Council of the - Citg of -Kenai shall consist -of seven members who- shall be---- - nominated by the Mayor and confirmed by the City Council from -- -- ----- -applications-submitted to -the-City -Clerk"IL_-The-rest _goee_on-about--_ the selection. r { li r� KENAI eI4'Y COUNCIL ci` 1.: • AOGUST 17, 1988 PAGE 22 , ..', I was privy to the Mayor's letter dated today and did some preliminary research, and, in fact, drafted a memorandum addressed to the Council and Mayor that addresses the issue. I will paass that out. In paraphrasing it. From reviewing the minutes of the last meeting, and from my recollection of the last meeting of August 3rd. It was unclear to me .. the terms used were task _ force. Either intentionally or not, it seemed as if something was ' being created other than a board, commission or committee. Hoard, commission, or committee wasn't mertioned at that time. I asked Councilwoman Bailie at the recess this evening if she had - - mentioned in conjunction with this, said something about a committee, I was asking "are you talking about the task force", and it appeared that she mis-spoke herself, is what she indicated A to me. Aboard, commission, or committee under 1.90.040 talks in terms of three durational terms, staggered. My recollection of the _ - year meeting was that this was specific goal oriented of short duration and at the conclusion of the task and advisory recommendations or j._ whatever came back to Council, that there would no longer be a function for this group to serve. So I would ask the Council if that was their intent, in which case it is not a board, commission, or committee. If, in fact it is, then the Mayor must ' proceed pursuant to 1.90.010. If not, then you are doing _ :'. something that is not really addressed. Councilwoman Monfor: I would like to reiterate, because you and v,.. the Vice Mayor were not here, it had been brought to our attention in a memo from the City Clerk that if we wanted anything to go on the October ballot it had to be in resolution form and approved by : this Council tonight. The task force was selected for one reason „., only and hopefully it would have had its goals met in time to go - ".- on the ballot and the wording be done. In the course of the evening after this happened we found that it was not a realistic " date and time frame and the Clerk said we talked about putting it . Y on the November ballot and at that time we did not know we could ". not do that. We were relieved because that would give that task force at least another month to formulate a proposal. The names were made, people we had contacted and we felt that time was of the essence and we went forward. on my part as a Council person, I never thought this task force would last longer than three months. it was the brainchild of Vice Mayor Measles, it was discussed prior to the last meeting, we were unanimous in the decision that this might be a solution to a vary major problem. Attorney Rogers: I would address one other issue. If you look at the minutes, you will see that the motion was passed unanimously :. to--form-this task force.-.- The-individuale designated. to be on that task force was kind of in suggestion form, it was never ratified ,., --by---the _-Council _yet _I _understand there has been a meeting o --- - - -- - these individuals. I think it most appropriate that et this t e; — the Council ratify and put on the record, the names of the people W ... D ` KENAI CITY COUNCIL - AUGUST 17, 1988 PAGE 23 j on that task force at this meeting. You have never actually appointed any one officially, even though, realistically they are serving. I must believe there are people on it whose names are not of record at the last meeting. F Councilwoman O'Reilly: Do we have minutes of -the first meeting of r, the task force just to know who the people are. Attorney Rogers: I have the minutes of August 23rd where Councilwoman Bailie suggested: Duane Quellette, Eagle Rock; Dale !I Sandahl; Don St. John, Frank Getty, Leon Quesnell, Colleen Ward, and you have it from various geographic regions of the City. But then there were other names, I understand, of individuals on it that were not brought up. Kathy Godek, Peter Lyse, Ron Holston. ,. . Councilwoman Bailie: Ron Malston was on the original. Attorney - — - --- -- - -- : - - Rogers: Those were suggested and then there is a motion to go ahead with the task force but no confirmation of specific individuals. If you are going to proceed as a task force as opposed to a commission, committee, board, it would be appropriate to ratify those individuals and do it from the beginning. If, on the other hand, this is a board, commission, or committee, then we have to back way up to the nominating procedure. Of course if there is a disagreement between the Mayor and Council in the selection of those people. There is a procedure in KMC 1 for appealing a ruling of the Chair. I don't recall the vote but I think its a more stringent requirement than under normal circumstances. You have already said on the record that you want to have a task force and the Mayor's letter doesn't address the „ task force issue. It presupposes that you were talking of a body formed under 1.90.010 and if that's not the case then there doesn't seem to be a problem. Mayor Williams: The problem then exists with the membership of the task force. Councilwoman Bailie asked to read the list of names: Duane Quellette, Frank Getty, Kathy Godek, Dale Sandahl, Peter Lyse, Colleen Ward, Leon Quesnel, Ron Holston, Don St. John, Tom Wagoner, Rick Baldwin A total of eleven. Attorney Rogers: Boards, commissions, and committees total are seven members. It is indicative that you aren't doing a board, commission or committee. Mayor Williams: I object to some of the members of the group and since no one else objects. Councilwoman Monfor: Who do you .object to? _Mayor Wit=Names --i object to -Leon-Quesnel, -Dale - -------.------_----_------- Sandahl, and Tom Wagoner. Councilwoman Monfor: Then you need to - - -- - --- - find--someone--from- Thompson- Park -that's willing -to .serve. -Attorney_ ------ - --- ---------.---------.. -- Rogerss It might be most appropriate to take each name and do a L I KENAI CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 17, 1988 PAGE 24 roll call vote on each name unless you wish to recess. Mayor Williams: To expedite the matter we can vote the entire list. If you are in agreement with the list and I am the only one not agreeing then it stands. Mayor Williams: The reasons I am objecting to Leon Quesnel, Dale Sandahl, Tom Wagoner is that none of those three are immediately affected by anything that is going to be done with this paving money. Coungjawoman Bailie: They are not to decide what is to be done with this money, their task is to come up with the wording for a resolution that would be placed on the ballot that the people could vote on once and for all as to how the paving should be handled from now on. We thought, to be fair, that we include as many areas of the City as possible. Thompson Park certainly is an area of the City that should be considered as they do not have water & sewer or paved roads. The same as people from McCollum Princess area, etc. We also needed a person that had a working knowledge of government which is why Ron Malston was asked. Tom Wagoner called and volunteered and lives in Thompson Park. Mayor Williams: One further objection I have with the procedure is that the minutes of the meeting state that ... Councilwoman Bailie: We don't have minutes of the meeting. Mayor Williams: The August 3rd Council meeting. "Councilwoman Bailie stated, it was suggested by Councilman Measles to have an initiative o the October ballot to vote on the process for regulating procedures for capital improvement projects". That portion, 'procedures for capital improvement projects' takes in the entire range of capital improvement projects. Councilwoman Monfor: We weren't speaking of capital improvement projects, we were speaking of paving. Councilwoman Bailie: I will take full credit for making a big mistake, I should -not have said capital improvement projects. The ultimate task given to this force was that they would consider paving only and Mr. Brighton was there. Mayor Williams: The question before us is 'is the entire task force acceptable to the Council as you have named'. Councilwoman O'Reilly: I see Redoubt Subdivision is not represented where there are two people here from Thompson Park, is that correct? Councilwoman Bailie: Leon Quesnel from Woodland we felt could represent the thoughts of the people in Redoubt. Under similar circumstances of subdivisions that have utilities and people have paid for the improvements.
