There was no public comment. Motion passed by unanimous consent. C-2 Res. 88-86 - Transfer of Funds-- Bicentennial Comm ss n to jags s ati ve Travel .200 MOTION: Councilwoman Monfor moved, seconded by Councilwoman Swarner, to adopt the resolution. There was no public comment. ". Councilwoman O'Reilly asked if this represented all of t the remaining budget of the Commission. Answer - yea. Motion passed by unanimous consent. C-3 C-3a: MOTION: I! Councilwoman Monfor moved, seconded by Councilman McComsey, to adopt the resolution. Vice Mayor Measles explained, there are 2 memos from Atty. Rogers, one regarding the letter from the Titan Const. attorney and one regarding the airport renovation. Councilwoman Monfor said Titan did not conform to the Borough tax policy, it should go to a&S. It is small, but they should have known. MOTION, Amendment: Councilwoman Monfor moved, seconded by Councilman Mccomsey, to amend the motion to item C-3b, 3&S Const., for $697,700 including basic bid plus added alternate #1. VOTE, Amendment: Motion passed unanimously by roil call vote. PUBLIC COMMM: a. Dennis Starr, Titan Const. He asked, what did Council do? Vice Mayor Measles explained, they amended by motion to award to d&S. Mr. Starr asked if Council reviewed the City Atty's recommendation and Titan Const. attorney's letter. Answer - yes. Mr. Starr said, his complaint is the bid document says specifically that the bidder is to take this tax compliance certificate with their part filled in and signed and submit with the other required bid documents. Apparently they were not the only one that read it that way. The only mention of the tax compliance certificate found in ---the AiA instructions and__supplement does not mention instructions or tax compliance ___certificate_. _. The only mention is in the second page of the bid proposal, #70- -It doesnotgive any instructions for filling out the form. The Borough tax compliance certificate says, it shall be required if they do a job with the Borough to complete, sign and date. it notes on the bottom, the form must be signed by the Borough Finance Dept. personnel. The second page is for the Borough Finance Dept. to fill in after you have filled out if you have paid taxes, etc. They just fill out their portion and the City would forward to the Borough, was their understanding. if there are 11 bidders, why should the Borough research 9 or 10 bidders that will not be considered for award? That is what their attorney said in the letter. The instructions to the bidder are not specific enough to say the bidder is responsible to take the document to the Borough. _ KENAI CITY -COUNCIL DECEMBER 7, 1988 - - - - PAGE 3 Councilwoman Monfor said she is voting no on whoever gets the bid, it is too much money. Councilwoman O'Reilly said even if there was an honest misunderstanding, it also says the personnel at the Borough would have filled it out, this company was not in compliance. This makes Titan attorney's argument null and void.

D. COMISSIOMCOMMITTEE REPORTS �I D-1 Council on Aging Councilwoman Swarner reported there will be a meeting Dec. 8 at 200 with the local legislators. D-2 Airport Commission Councilwoman O'Reilly reported there was a meeting Nov- 10. There was no quorum, they had a work session. They discussed the float plane basin. There will be discussions with the lessees to find their needs at the next meeting. D-3 Economic Development Commission None D-4 Harbor Commission Chairman Quesnel reported on the Harbormasters Convention in Sitka Nov. 14 to Nov. 18. It dealt mainly with the larger ports in Alaska. It dealt indirectly with Kenai because of the economic fallout of items discussed. They are asking the municipalities and port administrators to support the State Boating -- - - - safety - Act,- _ .This .is__f the- whole- State_- registration of all boats, commercial and recreational. Alaska is - ___-_ the only state in the United States whose program is administered by the U.S.-Coast Guard: -The--Coast Guard---- wants to give it to Alaska to administer. They are looking at it from the standpoint that registration for boats is now $3 per year. If they hand it to the State, the public will have to pay for it. it should be raised to $10 per year. This is lower than most states, some are $75 per year. This would generate $500,000 in fees, there is $250,000 in grant funds. Subtracting expenses of enforcement, registration, education there would be $150,000 left in revenues. It would generate 17 jobs in Alaska. The association voted for this to be passed. It will go to the Legislature this year. Cruise ships and tourism were discussed at the convention. There will be 258 cruise ships in Alaska this year, not all will be up here. 248 in Southeast ii■m■■I KENAI CITY COUNCIL DECEMBER 7, 1988 PAGE 4 Alaska, 44 in Whittier, 18 in Homer, 34 in Seward, 9 in Anchorage. The tourist ships do not leave any cash, but the crews spend more than the tourists. Ketchikan had 180,000 tourists with the same number of crew members. Each of these people generated 5 lb. of garbage per day. By international agreement, all garbage generated at sea now has to go back to ports. So Ketchikan will have to handle it. All plastics have to be brought back to hard. Dutch Harbor has 2,000 people, they handle 40,000 people per year. They cannot handle their garbage. The State will have to help Dutch Harbor. It has to be incinerated. The City claims the whole lower Kenai River to the harbor.. We should be careful about the number of plastics dumped in the river that go to the mouth. -if we do not handle in a responsible manner, we could be closed down. This is effective the end of Dec., 1988. The penalty is $25,000 initial fine, plus $25,000 per day till it is cleaned up. Councilman McComsey asked, what is the average boat registration fee? Chairman Quesnel replied, he did not know but at $10 per year we can make a profit. D-5 Library Commission Councilwoman Monfor reported the Open House and thank you for the library volunteers will be Dec. 20 MOTION: Councilwoman Monfor moved, seconded by Councilwoman 8warner, that $100 be donated to the open House. Motion passed by unanimous consent. D-6 Recreation Commission None D-7 Planning & Zoning Commission Councilman Smalley reported the letter from Planning Specialist Loper regarding Bed & Breakfasts was sent to Atty. Rogers. Atty. Rogers said he would put a limit on the number of nights to eliminate a boarding house designation. D-6 Nice. Conan Conran _ Councilwomar Mon#or--referred- -to-- the -letter fr-nm - --- - —------- -- Visitors & Convention Bureau, distributed this date, - - - regarding --the -street--signs -and- the -archaeological_ dig in Municipal Park. Administration can handle the spelling of the streets. They will be asking for a green belt of the area for a Bicentennial site. She suggested Rec. Comm and P&Z review the letter. City Manager Brighton noted the street signs will have to be r replaced. The names will have to be reviewed by P&x, then sent to the Borough, there will be expenses. Clerk Ruotsala noted she received a call from the Visitors & Convention Bureau this date, requesting a work session with Council. Council agreed to discuss this under the Clerk's report. E.

NEW BUSINESS Approved by Consent Agenda OLD BUSINESS H-1 Bills to be Paid.

H-2 Requisitions Exceeding $1,000 MOTION: Councilwoman Monfor moved, seconded by Councilman McComsey, to approve the requisitions. Councilwoman O'Reilly asked, what is the exercise instruction? Program Director Porter replied, it is aerobics instruction for the senior citizens. MOTION, Amendment: -councilwoman-Swarner-moved,--saconded-by Councilwoman Monfor, to delete the dues for the Kenai Peninsula - - .-Caucus. --- - - - ---- -- — - -- -- - - Councilman McComsey said he attended the last meeting. He may go one more time. This is total for the year. All others have paid their dues, except the Borough. The various chambers have not paid. Homer has pulled out. He would like to pay once more. It has been a waste of time, but it is a good idea. City Manager Brighton said from the cities' viewpoint and the Borough's standpoint, the cities are not getting a fair shake. The Borough is paying all dues for all outside the cities. In the cities, the cities pay their share. The taxpayers in the cities pay double dues. If we continue, we should press to have the Borough pay all dues. Councilman McComsey added, the people outside the cities are benefiting more than those in the cities. Councilwoman O'Reilly asked, how was the dues structure arrived at? Councilman McComsey replied, per capita, decided by the Board. They felt with the IIAd KENAI CITY COUNCIL - DECEMBER 7, 1988 PAGE 6 economic downturn we should try this way. The Borough almost did not pay their portion, they felt the Borough Economic Development District was more in tune with the economic wants and needs than this was. City Manager Brighton added, of their budget of $11,000, 60% is devoted to travel for lobbying. He had difficulty with other city representatives lobbying for Kenai. Councilwoman Swarner suggested we delete at this time, but do not close the door. PUBLIC COMMENT: a. Tom Wagoner, 4040 Primrose, Kenai. He did not say anything about this when he was mayor because it was new. We are getting into a "black -box" -with this. if your priorities are not in line with the Caucus, they can say it is not their priority. Each city should speak on their own merit. It could be a good thing to use,for projects such as Haller Intertie and Bradley Lake. gut they are using for projects that are not borough -wide. Councilman McComsey said Bradley Lake was in a resolution. Nobody lobbies for you like yourself. Congregate Housing was brought up, there was no quorum last time. There were hard questions saying there were other entities (private) in the area that were doing the same thing. VOTE, Amendment (Passed): yes: Measles, Monfort O'Reilly, Smalley, Swarner No: McComsey VOTE, Main Motion as Amended (Passed): Motion passed by unanimous consent.

Change Order N1 - Doyle Const. - $971._24 MOTION: Councilwoman Monfor moved, seconded -by Councilwoman - O'Reilly, to pay the Change Order of $971.24 to Doyle Const. Public Works Director Kornelis explained, it was a surprise to him when he got it. When Wince, Corthell & Bryson did the survey work (in winter) they missed a low spot at the right of the entrance to the school. Water would be puddled up. They put a culvert in, it was paid for with the unit price but did not have a price for manhole opening. it is a reasonable cost to tie into a manhole. Vice Mayor Measles, is it caused by lack of engineering? Public Works Director Kornelis, it was an oversight. Vice Mayor Measles, would it be covered by errors & omissions insurance of the engineering firm? Public Works Director Kornelis, I do not know.

Roads . water & Sewer Councilwoman O'Reilly, what was the wording in the original resolution? Public Works Director Kornelis .,, replied, attach. A, page 1 was to have Thompson Pk. sewer changed to water & sewer improvements. Councilwoman O'Reilly, do we get anything back in writing? Finance Director Brown replied, attach. 8 is the standard agreement form. The State filled in to the first WHEREAS. Public Works Director reviewed: attach. B, pages 1&2 were done by the State, the ,....' verbiage he put in is what he always put in. They have accepted in the past. Item C was the reply, it was not acceptable. Knowing Council wanted sewer with water, he wrote attach. D, page 1 plus attachments with - ---.- - -.-- ` ;= changes. He just took the quote they wanted out and left water & sewer in. Attach. E, pages 1Q , was their reply.- The State said the Legislative intent was for water only, the sewer was not consistent with the ",- intent. They need to know what water improvements. They objected to what we said in the past. Mr. Kornelis called Mr. Gilmore, who did not want any reference to sewer. In Attach. F, page 1, he took the word sewer out. He talked to Mr. Gilmore about roc --_-_,, -projects,- he did not -like --the idea o -water &.sewer . n:. - - He left seeding, etc# in if it was done in conjunction .:-=.----- -with xoad-proj.eats_.__.His explanation was- some-_c t es are getting grants and not using them properly. we could accept the road grant for water & sewer, and just used for a sewer line. Councilwoman O'Reilly, we were specific in the original request? Public Works _ Director Kornelis replied, to the State Legislatures the State Administration read it as water improvements. - They are being more strict in their interpretation. Councilwoman O'Reilly, so it changed when it got to the .. Legislature? Vice Mayor Measles, how did it change to ,! the Legislature? Public Works Director Kornelis, I do have not know. Vice Mayor Measles said he did not a problem with the roads, it is not much. But he had a 4 problem with the wording totally different when it comes back from the Legislature. V PUBLIC COMMENTS _ 1 • t t .. tt - i -4 � I - -KENAI CITY.COUNCIL DECEMBER 7, 1988 PAGE 8 a. Tom Wagoner, 4040 Primrose, Kenai. The night the i resolution passed, he testified. It was a hurry -up so Mayor Williams could take it to Juneau. Council was assured that this is the way the appropriations bill would address this money. It would not be used for Thompson Pk any other way. it seems there was a miscommunication. He suggested Administration contact the legislators to see how this was changed and why. They can put pressure on Administration. Vice Mayor Measles, is there any rush? City Manager Brighton, the 870,006 road expansion should be soon. vice Mayor Measles, how long do we have before we have to accept? Public Works Director Kornelis said he talked to Mr. Gilmore and asked if our legislators could talk to him. He said no, it would have to be the Legislature as a whole. vice Mayor Measles said he is asking that it be worded so the grant would be just for improving quality of the prosent water system. Public Works Director Kornelis said he thought they would accept attach. F, Page 1&2. He has not sent this yet. Councilman Smalley suggested they say "mist. items." Would they object? Public works Director Kornelis replied, they might. If we accept with changes as is, it would be good for 5 years. The Legislature could change it again. Finance Director Brown, there is no time limit. City Manager Brighton, if we accept prior to the legislative session, they cannot re -appropriate. Public Works Director Kornelis, we get 20% after all is signed. Councilman McComsey, it is prudent to accept and then ask the Legislature to re -appropriate to sewer lines? councilman Smalley, we should at least ask for the appropriation. City Manager Brighton said the Legislature will not go for re -appropriations till the and of the session. Councilman McComsey, could we put this off till Dec. 12 dinner meeting? Finance Director Brown explained, all this means is we will have to keep water charges separate. We will get the same benefit. It is limited as to what you can use it for. The City will get full benefit, but it will take longer. City Manager Brighton said it is only to improve the quality of the water. FinanceDirector Brown added, but if they accept Mr. Kornelis' standard agreement, they will accept water improvements. Council agreed to have Public Works Director Kornelis continue processing this.
