H-10 Kenai Boating Facility - Change Order ##3
MOTION:
Councilman Ackerly moved, seconded by Councilman
Measles, to approve the change order.
Public Works Director Kornelis referred to p. 3, ##13,
running conduit. some of the fish processors have
requested they want electric pumps for a crane. He has
included that in the bid specs. If they have requested
this and they are successful bidder, he would do it.
It would be more expensive later because it would be
under the dock. It could be done now for less money
($3,000+) The Harbor Commission recommends we add to
the change order to bring the amount to $10,000. He
would like to allow them to run it where they want and
we will have credit on running the wire. Councilman
Ackerly asked if it would be just as good and as safe.
Answer - yes.
Engineer Nelson. This was brought up by the Harbor
Commission. If this is added, it will be conduit only.
He has not received a price for pulling the wire
through. It may be another change order. There have
been 3 change orders: ##1 was no cost, ##2 was to add
floats, $3 is increasing the scope of the project.
Barry Ellsworth, Harbor Commission. The bid proposal
stated electricity was available. They hope to have
fish processors by June 15. The contractor has no
obligation to have electricity on the job till July 15.
The Commission felt it was needed now if a person wants
electricity available.
Public Works Director Kornelis explained, there are
some processors that would need power for their crane.
It would depend on who is successful bidder. They are
bidding on sq. footage of dock. In the bid package it
said if they desired it, we would provide.
MOTION, Amendment:
Councilman Ackerly moved, seconded by Councilman
Measles, to add $13 (running conduit) and increase the
change order to $10,709.

Mayor Williams asked if there had been any discussion
regarding ice equipment. Answer - no. Mayor Williams
asked Administration to put out feelers on this.
H-11 Disc. - Inlet Woods - Doyle's Claim
7PI 1s) 000
Public Works Director Kornelis explained, he reviewed
this and gave it to Council for information. He has
asked for back-up on the claim. They are willing to
settle for 4147084. Administration recommends not
settling. He has given inadequate notice of claim and
has no justification. The let basis of denial should
be from our contract specs. They say the contractor
must notify the City within 10 days. It has been
almost a year. The contractor complained every once in
a while and took some Council members to see the job.
He did not come in and say he had a claim, nor did he
give us anything in writing till the end of the job.
Council agreed to send a letter stating he had no claim
based on lack of documentation.
H-12 Disc. - Long Term Aircraft Tiedown Management Plan
Airport Manager Ernst explained, the Airport Comm. felt
management of the electric outlets is more trouble than
installation. He would like to stub to posts and see
if there is a demand, then decide. FBO's could preheat
their aircraft. Mayor Williams noted it would decrease
liability insurance costs. Mr. Ernst added, it would
eliminate cords on the runway.
MOTION:
Councilman Wise moved, seconded by Councilman Ackerly,
to approve the aircraft tiedown plan.
Motion passed by unanimous consent.

change Order #1 - $7,320.57
Public Works Director Kornelis reviewed the change
order. They were approved so there would not be
substantial increase in cost. Councilman Ackerly noted
it has already been done. Mr. Kornelis explained, it
has been City policy to do this if there would be more

cost. He reviewed this with City Manager Brighton

Councilman Wise said in October, Mr. Kornelis
authorized $6,000 worth of work and came to Council 8
rf
months later. Why did Council not get it sooner? Mr.
Kornelis replied, page 3, the date is April 29. He
just received this for the packet. That is when he got
the bill for $4,000. FAA said they would not let us do
what they had said before we could do. Regarding the
markers, a small portion of the $6,000 was done last

charged. Councilman Ackerly noted McLane submitted

1986. Mr. Kornelis replied, he received this April 30.
NI :: -
Airport Manager Ernst explained, we were not aware that
the contractor would submit this. 2 barricades and 2
flashers, the city contracted the rest of the work.
FAA decided 500 ftof runway had to be closed after
beginning the project. He did not know we would be
charged. He bought light flashers and cones. He
authorized the work because it would not be approved by
FAA unless we did. Mayor Williams said the contractor
was authorized to proceed with the change Oct. 1986.
It was a minor item. 6 months later the contractor
computed a bill of $1,788. There would be additional
$4,365 in the spring. The contractor did not send a
$1,788 bill in the fall. The contractor was at fault
for not submitting in a timely manner.
NOTION:
Councilwoman Monfor moved, seconded by Councilman
Measles, to pay the bill.
Councilman McComsey asked if they used up their 120
days. Answer - yes. Councilman McComsey said we are
paying for $6,000 we will not get. Mr. Kornelis
explained, he will revise the change order after he
purchases the barricades. Councilman Measles asked,
what happens if the barricades do not get in till the
project is over? Mr. Ernst replied, we have the
barricades, we only need flashers. We should have them
in one week.
VOTE (Passed):
Yes: Monfor, Wise, Williams, Measles
No: Ackerly, McComsey
H-16 Disc. Burnett/Golf Course
Jill Burnett, Kenai. At the last work session she was
requested to gather a list of the type of things she
was going to include (as costs). Finance Director
Brown has submitted a letter reviewing accounting
principals as applied to land. She did not dispute
that, but IRS has its own rules. These are deferred
tax items and will have to be paid to the Feds. She
did not have specific figures for Council. They have
invested $240,000. There are other things not included
such as legal fees that are continuing to rise. She
will do a detailed research if this is of interest to
Council. Councilman Ackerly asked, $240,000 plus 20%?
Mrs. Burnett replied yes. There has been concern
regarding the best use of taxpayers' money. Mr. Morgan
could uti.lize the land the City gets from Burnetts for
the golf course. The city could take Morgan's land and
put into improving lots along the golf course. 5 lots

would cover the cost of purchase expenses plus yeare of
property tax income from expensive homes. The
=N,.c taxpayers would be well served. This in the only
solution they have come close with. She asked if we
were still in discussion or not. If we are still
discussing, she have the figures at the May 20 meeting.
Councilman Ackerly said he thought there would be 2
appraisals and settle on the difference between the 2.
yy pp~,{{E Mayor Williams explained that was one of the ideas.
S•`t-w Ttin�s'�Yti�1`tC-
The 2nd was purchasing the land outright plus 20$.
6 None of the ideas is final. Mrs. Burnett is asking if
the City is still willing to work with the 2nd idea.
Councilman Wise noted #3, #4 & $5 in Mrs. Burnett's
�`'' ` list are not legitimate costs to capitalize. Mrs.
Burnett replied, interest is tax deferred only on
-=- investment purchases, which this was. It may be dealt
with differently than homes. If you are deferring
taxes at the time of sale you must pay taxes. Her
_^T proposal to Council last week specifically included
Z� k "„ those items. It was not to t3AAP regulations as Finance
r �w
Director Brown referred to. It is cash out of pocket
and to help her cut out losses. She had an informal
appraisal of $750, 000. in looking at cash out of
_�•-"r=F �`-D pocket, she is not asking for an unreasonable sum.
With a formal appraisal, the reason she went this
approach is that she had so many disagreements as to
';ti,>ts •ir_ •�r,':� r method, gg she suggested this proposal. Councilman
Y Mccomsey said he could not believe we should pay 20% of
F _-
���,;w�_,.�::�, closing costs, etc., it should just be the initial
-:���=�--• =-•-• �7:=.::_ purchase price. Mayor Williams said the question is,
should they gather the documentation, whether Council
is willing to take this or go on with litigation.
Councilman Wise said he thought the appraisal would be
less. Councilwoman Monfor said she could not accept
,�;:�'"•'�-=<., ..��,�,; the figures, she did not know what kind of
creditability they would have with the taxpayers. Mrs.
n Burnett noted she did not know how well the taxpayers
. ...... - - would be served by a lawsuit of a long time. She
added, she has been patient for 4 years. Council as
directed Administration many times to correct this and
they have not done so. She would far rather keep the
�_�u•��_^-:�•� ;-_.�;- land as she originally intended and sell for profit.
Mayor Williams asked Mr. Morgan, in light of the
:�,,.,•;_;»;:�;K,,.�s�;•,�;>: economy, what would his feelings be regarding waiting a
year to start the 2nd nine holes? Mr. Morgan replied,
Lloyd Dyer wants to finish this and sell his "cat." If
Mr. Dyer does not do this, it will cost Mr. Morgan
more. Mayor Williams asked Mr. Morgan, what would his
`4�, feelings be if the City allowed him to go ahead without
an agreement, and then throw it into court? Mr. Morgan
-- replied he would rather do the work after this is
decided.
MAYOR WILLIAMS CALLED A RECESS.
Mayor Williams explained, we are in a situation between
s:r 2 forces. The City does not have to do anything.
There is a dispute on Burnetts if there is an easement.
,•-:..
Mr. Morgan can accept the option from the City with the
understanding there may or may not be an easement. The
Burnetts can pursue if the easement exists. The City
- could throw it into litigation. If Council feels an
obligation to do something, they can ask Burnetts for
figures or deny and say we do not need a golf course.

record. Mayor Williams stated he could not use that
line, these comments could wind up in court on this.
Mr. Morgan said Mayor Williams has said this is between

the Burnetts and Morgans. That is not true. He has no

contact with Burnetts. He has a lease with the City.

if Mr. Morgan chooses to not accept, based on possible
easement, there is no reason for the City to pursue

not take the City to court. Mrs. Burnett added, she
would like to reiterate she does not have a quarrel
'
with Morgans, but with the City. She has put 4 years
'
trying to resolve this. If she were on Council, she
would question why these directives were not taken care
of. It is lack of action by Administration that has
allowed it to come to this point. Mayor Williams
fir:•'
explained, in 1983 Council passed an ordinance granting
tr'
an easement. The ordinance is there, perfecting is up

to the person involved. When a purchaser buys
s
property, he mould insure access. It is not the
City's fault. This is business transacted between 2
individuals. The City did accommodate Burnetts by
issuing an easement. All she had to do was claim it.
The City offered Morgans a lease subject to this
.�, x..�.
easement.
Council agreed to close the discussion.
H-17 Disc. - Marketing of Airport Proposal

C`. .
Regarding item C-6 (Res. for surveying & platting
of Section 36, ball fields). It is different than
the previous proposal. Mrs. Mulholland does not
have a problem with it except she wants contours.
The reason for the change is there is Borough
property there. There will be 7 ball fields as
planned. Recreation Director McGillivray said he
planned to have 2 members of the Recreation Comm-,
2 from Little League and one from American Legion
and set up a committee to do plans regarding lay
out of lands. Council agreed to the suggestion.
Mr. McGillivray noted this will not alter the
outside perimeter. Mayor Williams suggested we
approach the Borough regarding this land. He also
asked if this allows for parking. Mr. Kornelis

sufficient.

had already ordered it. Councilwoman Monfor
disagreed. Mr. Kornelis explained Architect

Gintoli did the bid specs, it is a contract. We
just got the estimates. He added, the Veterans
Memorial was placed in there, and there were
changes. We are trying to get by with less than
30 days. Councilwoman Monfor noted this is
becoming overwhelming. This was to be a little
park, $50,000 was donated by the City. If we
don't do it now, it will be next year to complete.
She asked, what is the project sign? Mr. Kornelis
replied, it is a permanent sign to identify the
park. It is like the B. Huss sign. Councilman
Ackerly noted that is a lot of money for a sign.
Councilwoman Monfor asked Finance Director Brown
to tell the Beautification Comm. how much money is
left and the status of the fountain at the May 12
meeting. She asked, where is the remaining
$6,000? Finance Director Brown replied, that is
for Mr. Gintoli. Mayor Williams asked about the
$10,000 deduction. Mr. Kornelis replied there is
a custom designed gazebo or a pre-fab gazebo as an
alternate. If we use the alternate, we will
deduct $10,000. Mr. Gintoli talked to City
Manager Brighton. Mr. Kornelis understood there
is $10,000 that has been built up for the
fountain. Mr. Gintoli had said, if they had
$49,000 and the money came in at $39,000, it could
come to the fountain.
Council agreed to the pre-fab gazebo and deducting
$10,000.
