B-1 Faye Mulholland - Little League
Faye Mulholland, President of Little League, Nikiski.
She distributed material regarding the proposed Little
League fields. She asked that community fields be
built. She had met with the Recreation Comm. and
talked to Recreation Director McGillivray. He advised
her they need facts and volunteers. The Peninsula
Oilers have discussed helping, Northern Oil Operators
are willing to donate equipment, Kenai Mall Merchants
are willing to have a fund-raiser. Little League has
been sending letters out asking for donations. The new
fields will not be done by Little League kids, adults
would be asked to help. She asked for a work session
to look at the plans. The ground needs to be broken
this year if they are to be used within 2 years. The
loss of the Dust Bowl and increased registration make
it mandatory. There are over 400 now, an increase of
100. There are 3 minor softball, 2 major, 1 big
league, all girls teams. All are on one field. Boys

teams are, 6 T-ball, 7 minor, 5 major, 5 senior teams. The
American Legion has older boys, they share the field. The
Little League people are raising money for maintenance of
the fields at no cost to the City. They need permission to
do this. The City has provided money for umpiring, they
will share this cost. The property is at the old landfill,
there is also land behind Craycroft Chrysler. Councilwoman
Bailie said she spoke to someone regarding a camper park
behind Craycroft, he thought the 2 could work together.
Councilwoman Monfor noted she thought this had been worked
out last year. Mrs. Mulholland replied, she was told 2
weeks ago the problem was with the volunteers. The
Recreation Comm. felt they could not do the job.
Councilwoman Monfor asked if there was money set aside for
this. Finance Director Brown replied $25,000 was set aside
for a ball field. Recreation Director McGillivray explained
he had asked for a work session last Fall to discuss Little
League and youth complex. It was never scheduled. The
Recreation Comm. had plans drawn up. They looked at the old
dump site, 4-5 acres. The plan is for 25 acres. The
Recreation Comm. thought the Council should discuss this.
The $25,000 was revenue sharing to replace or relocate the
old dust bowl. The Comm. felt that for $25,000, they should
have concrete volunteers. Council agreed to a work session
April 6. Mayor Williams asked Public Works Director
Kornelis to look for potential sites. Mrs. Mulholland asked
if the Recreation Comm. could attend. Council agreed to the
suggestion.
B-2 Beaver Creek Property Owners' Assoc. - Update on RV
Camper Park/Boat Ramp - Request for Public Hearing
John Cook, Beaver Creek Property Owners Assn., Kenai.
The residents of Basin View S/D, Angler Acres S/D and
Beaver Loop area have met to discuss the parameters and
effects of a boat ramp and camper park. They are
concerned about future development, there is a need for
a boat ramp and an RV park, but this is not the area
for it. The have distributed information to 60 people,
and are distributing to 30 more. They are requesting a
public hearing with coordination of dll government
agencies involved with this. Mayor Williams submitted
for the record the names of those people who had
submitted petitions, and added that Dave McKechnie and
Carl Green had contacted him. Mr. Cook added, they
went to the Borough and got a list of those affected.
He asked if Council was aware of the action by the
developers. Answer - yes. Mayor Williams explained
these people have requested the City ask the Corps. of
Engineers for a public hearing. Mr. Cook said there is
an application to the Corps. of Engineers, it is the
1st step. 2 property owners adjacent to the area were
notified. He felt this was inappropriate public
notice. They have to request a public hearing by April
20. He is asking the City to help with this. He said
he would arrange for a large meeting place, if
necessary. Council agreed to request the public
hearing of Corps. of Engineers.
B-3 Bud Woodard, Kirby Wright - Woodard Const. - Automated
Flight Service Station/HEA Billing on Line Extension
Kirby Wright, Woodard Const., Anchorage. He explained
Mr. Woodard was awarded the $1.3 Million contract, it
is substantially complete. They have had one change
order, it is deductive. The issue involves a billing
from REA regarding transformers. It is Mr. Woodard's
position that the work the City is contemplating
charging for ($19,000) is not with the job. It is not

in the standards of the industry to bid for primary
electric sources, just secondary and connections to
primary. Mr. Woodard did not bid on this, he was not
aware of this. The subcontractor would be responsible
but did not bid. Public Works Director Kornelis
explained this was brought to Council in August.
Architect Gintoli wrote a letter to Mr. Woodard stating
it was their responsibility to pay for the transformer
and hook up. The City had a cost estimate of a
not -to -exceed figure from HEA to run electric lines and
transformers, in the amount of $22,000. It was brought
to Council, stating it would be from Woodard. HEA sent
a final bill of $19,000. Since then, Mr. Gintoli has
reviewed and changed his mind. The City position was
reviewed with the attorney, he felt we could stand on
that. Mr. Kornelis has deducted $19,000 from the pay
estimate. There are no contingency funds in this
project.
MOTION:
Councilwoman Monfor moved, seconded by Councilwoman
Bailie, to appropriate needed funds to pay Woodard
Construction.
Motion passed by unanimous consent.

Hire
a. Contract for Lobbyist Services
MOTION:
Councilwoman Bailie moved, seconded by Councilwoman
Monfor, to adopt the ordinance.
PUBLIC COMMENT:
a. Ray Gillespie, Juneau. He submitted a resume on
the proposal in response to the ordinance. He is
available to answer questions.
b. Jackie Oberg, 406 Rogers, Kenai. She has lived in
Alaska 20 years, 19 in Kenai. As a student of
government and politics, she believes lobbyists
are necessary. They are a source of information,
they attend meetings, follow the wording of bills,
work with the legislature. There are over 200
full time lobbyists, plus part time. We send the
City Manager and City Attorney on a short term
basis. This is a complement to a full time job.
She would like to be considered for the job. She
has a degree in communications. She has worked
with Rep. O'Connell, Sen. Stevens, Rep. Young.
She has taught seminars on lobbying, she has
friends and contacts in Juneau. She has seen the
difference between full time and short time blitz.
The most effective is a full time lobbyist. She
has lobbied in Juneau and Washington D.C. She
lobbied for the court house in Kenai. She would
have no other clients.
Councilwoman Bailie said the City has realized the
importance of lobbying and the importance of a full

time lobbyist for capital dollars, positive legislation
and grant proposals. Examples: 1) HB-155, utility
relocates. This is important to the City. If it
passes, the City will be liable for $1/2 Million. 2)
the fish tax bill. If amended so we don't have to
share money with the Borough, it could mean $50,000 to
$60,000 to the City per year. 3) Kenai River flats
boardwalk. N. Johannsen said we need all the clout we
can get in Juneau. 4) N1 on the priority list of the
Airport Comm. is acquisition of an Air National Guard
wing. Comm. member Irwin said we need all the clout we
can get in Juneau and Washington D.C. 5) Kenai Res.
87-15 regarding transfer of State roads to
municipalities. We could use a lobbyist for this. 6)
the work session held this date regarding land fill.
The Borough representatives said they need our help to
get balers. These items have nothing to do with
capital dollars but have tremendous impact on the
community. If he is successful with just one, it would
double the amount paid. Anchorage has the Senate
president, rules chairman., etc. They still have a
lobbyist. The North Slope and Seward have lobbyists.
No budgets have passed in the legislature. She would
be in hopes of increased funds or negating the damaging
legislation rather than a higher mill rate. Mayor
Williams noted Atty. Rogers and City Manager Brighton
are in Juneau lobbying regarding HB-155. Regarding the
fish tax, amendments have been made favorable to Kenai,
there is no agreement yet. We are just beginning
discussion regarding the land fill.

a. Discussion - Boating Facility
Councilwoman Bailie said she would like to see a job
description for this position. The job is new to the
City. Councilman Wise added, the ordinance does not
identify the positions as temporary/seasonal. There
should be limits to the period of hire. Finance
Director Brown replied, in the 2nd page of the
ordinance - the Code is laid out that way. None of the
positions are laid out as permanent, seasonal, etc,
Council agreed to have a section added delineating
this.
��. Councilwoman Monfor asked, what are the 4 months?
Public Works Director Kornelis replied, June, July,
August, some before June and some after September.

said he is concerned about the cannery workers. There
will be a conflict between commercial fishermen,
tourists and cannery workers. Mayor Williams
continued, he asks Public Works to get information on
ideas he has, then he brings it to Council.
Councilwoman Bailie noted if all of Council went to
Administration with ideas, it would take away from the
work of the City. Mayor Williams replied he did not
want to be stifled from coming up with good ideas.

the Council on equal ground. If they have ideas that
do not have agreement of Council, that is a waste of
time for Administration. Mayor Williams closed the

H-4 Ord. 1199-87 - Amend. KMC - Airport Commission
Approved by Consent Agenda.
H-5 Discussion - One Stop Liquor
Mayor Williams explained this is on the agenda because
Mr. Boyd asked Administration for this.
PUBLIC COMMENT:
a.
Roger Boyd, Kenai. After reading the letter of
objection from the City to ABC, it seemed worth
his while to address Council. In reply: 1)
Posting. It was done by law and was done in good
faith. 2) Disruption of neighborhood. It would
not be in the best interests of a businessman to
be where they do not want him. He has empathy to
those who do not want him there. That is the
growing pains of the City. 3) Non -construction
of facility. Construction is going on. That
should take care of the cleared lot. Regarding a
buffer. He added a site obscuring fence. 30% of
his lot is in uncut trees. Flora and fauna are
greater than the required 5%. 4) No revenues.
If there is no license, it would be lost to the
City till the population doubles, that is the new
law. His location would pull from areas outside
the City that may not be there otherwise. It
would provide 3-1/2 full time jobs, it would add
to the tax base. He is going ahead with this. He
was involved in the Tangent Building across from
City Hall. He asked Council to reconsider their
earlier decision. Councilwoman
Bailie asked, he did not receive a copy of the
letter? Mr. Boyd replied, he received it after
the Council meeting. Mayor Williams said it is
too late to reconsider. There may be action taken
place by other parties. Mr. Boyd said he hoped he
would not have to go before ABC. He cannot give
up. Councilman Mccomsey said if he has the
financing and is ready to go, he has no objection
to it. Mayor Williams said Council cannot do
anything between now and April 15. Councilwoman
Monfor noted Council could send letters
individually.

Councilwoman Monfor asked if the lease payments we are
receiving are on the old lease rates and are they
paying? Admin. Asst. Gerstlauer replied, they are
paying on the old rates, they are current, they have
not signed an agreement. The original appraisal was
obtained, then reviewed by MAI, then it went to FAA -
there were 3 opinions. Councilman Wise suggested the
lessees be provided with a copy of the appraisals, a
copy of the Supreme Ct. decision and a statement that
they are free to order new appraisals. Admin. Asst.
Gerstlauer requested a time frame be stated. Council
agreed on 90 days to respond, and that the information
be sent return receipt requested.
H-13 Disc. - union Oil Co. - Application for Oil & Gas Well
Drilling Permit (Cannery Loop #a)

KENAI CITY COUNCIL
APRIL 1, 1987
PAGE 11
Mayor Williams noted he may have a conflict of interest
in this matter. He asked to abstain from voting on the
issue.
PUBLIC COMMENT:
Robert Anderson, Union Oil Representative. Union Oil
will start production in Cannery Loop this year.
Cannery Loop #4 is to be drilled north of the river and
east of Bridge Access Rd. The drilling rig has moved
there. They will have permits by the middle of the
month. It is not designed to be gas. It is
exploratory. It is a deep well, deeper than #1 and #3.
If it is successful, they will complete it as an oil
well, move the well to Cannery Loop #3 and complete
that as a gas well. Northeast of #3 (and possibly one
more oil well, if oil is found concurrently) they will
be back to ask for #1. The equipment will be installed
by June 1, in production by late October. 1/2 of the
20 years he has been in Alaska has been with the
Cannery units N1, #2, & #3. Union Oil has 60% of the
Cannery unit, they had 35% before. It was a challenge
to get all to agree and move forward. They hope on 44,
if it is not a discovery it will be in 2 gas pools. At
the end of the year they will have 4 wells in
production. Councilwoman Monfor said she has a concern
with drilling muds, such as Miller Loop. She did not
want that to happen again. Mr. Anderson replied the
muds and cuttings will be in metal containers. They
will be working with DEC regarding a site outside of
Kenai. Councilman Wise noted the Kenai ordinances
authorizing permits have been amended regarding
storage. Mr. Anderson replied they have copies of the
amended ordinances. The existing pits will be closed
when they reach an agreement with DEC as to how.
MOTION:
Councilman wise moved, seconded by Councilwoman Monfor,
for approval of the application for drilling of $4.
Motion passed by unanimous consent with Mayor Williams
abstaining.
H-14 Disc. - Friendship Air Alaska - Lease Termination
MOTION:
Councilwoman Monfor moved, seconded by Councilwoman
Bailie, to cancel the lease with the understanding they
would have to pay six month's minimum.
Councilwoman Monfor explained, the City went to
considerable expense for this, but we own the facility.
It is an asset to the airport. Mayor Williams said the
City incurred over $30,000 we probably would have
incurred along the way. We received one month's rent.
A year's payment is 1/3 of the cost incurred. They
left to accept a better contract, even with a $30,000
loss. Councilwoman Monfor suggested we may spend more
in attorney's costs, so it would not be worth while.
Legal Asst. Sutcliffe replied it is a simple procedure.
Councilman Wise said a large part of the $30,000 is
capital investment, it will remain with the airport.
Councilwoman Monfor noted, who is to say they won't be
back? This could be a short term thing. Councilman
Wise said they spent a lot to get into Kenai. They
made a good faith effort and did not get the traffic.

He is representing Eadie's Frontier Club. He is

is trying to sell her property, it had to be
re-platted to sell. Hugh Malone was hired for the
job. A letter was sent by Atty. Rogers to the
Borough to not take any action till a zoning
violation was taken care of. She has never been
tnr t
notified. Hugh Malone convinced Atty. Rogers they

not received notification. He called Ms Loper and
`s• ' °{
asked if she had notified the Borough. She said

the Council direct Administration to immediately
notify the Borough of action taken at the last P&Z
meeting in writing and orally. The Borough has
said they would take oral notification from a City
' ;-
official. The Borough will be closed Friday.
The second matter was the zoning problem. It
should be handled separately. There is nothing in
City Code that says you must take care of zoning
violations before re -platting. Councilman Wise
said the Borough had sent a letter dated March 16
saying the revised plat was reviewed by P&Z at
their 2nd meeting. It was sent to Hugh Malone.
Upon presentation of the letter, P&Z asked why it
was sent to the party and not P&Z. They were told
Atty. Rogers said no. It was approved by the
Borough and was waiting for approval by P&Z. It
was added to the agenda and approved. Legal Asst.
Sutcliffe said he would talk to Atty. Rogers and
see if there is a problem. Mayor Williams noted
both City Manager Brighton and Atty. Rogers are
out of town.
