WILLIAMS PRESIDING PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE A. ROLL CALL A-1 Resignation of Councilman Wise Mayor Williams read the letter of resignation into the record. Council agreed to have the Mayor send a letter of thanks to Mr. Wise. A -la Nomination of Councilperson for Remainder of Term Councilwoman Bailie nominated Ron Malston. She noted he has served as Mayor and Councilman and is willing to do the jcb. Councilman McComsey asked if Mr. Malston was going to run for Council in October. Councilwoman Bailie replied, as it stands now, it would just be for the 3 months. She felt if the position was assigned to someone planning to run for election, it would give them an unfair advantage. She felt we should have someone, as we are 2 short now. Mayor Williams said he thought we should let the election process take over. The Charter directs we shall nominate, but does not say when. Councilman Measles said he felt uneasy trying to go through the next 4 months without additional Council members. It would put 4 month's work on the new Council in October. Councilwoman Bailie requested Council vote on Ron Malston. Mayor Williams noted every new Council has the problem of potentially having 2 new members; Mr. Malston is not present, and has not contacted the Mayor. He did not want to take action till he heard from Mr. Malston. He asked if any other Council members had spoken to Mr. Malston. There were none. Recess was called while Councilwoman Bailie contacted Mr. Malston. Mayor Williams said 4 votes were required to approve a new Councilmember, he preferred to wait till the July 1 meeting. Councilman Measles said this is why it should be done now, the entire action of Council is controlled by one vote. Mayor Williams said Mr. Malston should be here. Councilwoman Bailie explained, she called Mr. Malston, he is unable to attend this date but is willing to serve. Council agreed to vote at the July 1 meeting. A-2 Agenda Approval a. Mayor Williams said items C-8 & C-9 (City Hall Painting and Floor Covering), substitute resolutions were submitted this date. b. Mayor Williams noted H-7 (Fire, Rescue, Medical Agreement), Info 3 is additional information. C. Finance Director Brown requested that item H-6 (Hansen Memorial Park Construction) be moved to B-4. KENh1 CITY COUNCIL June 17, 1987 Page 2 MOTION: Councilman Measles moved, seconded by Councilwoman Bailie, to approve the agenda as amended. Motion passed by unanimous consent. A-3 Consent Agenda MOTION: Councilman Measles moved, seconded by Councilwoman Bailie, to approve the Consent Agenda as submitted. Motion passed by unanimous consent. B. PERSONS PRESENT SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD B-1 Representative, City Electric - Payment for Contract with City David Sweezey, City Electric, Anchorage Office. He is asking for payment of $11,000+, their cost over bid on this job for street lights. Material was distributed In the packet. Mr. Arbelovsky had come to Council some time ago to argue this point. They bid the job, they were low bidders and were awarded the job. The specs were such they could not meet them, no contractor could meet them. The fixtures were not available. He talked to Public works Director Kornelis, arrangements were made to buy the fixtures. when they arrived, they were not satisfactory to Mr. Kornelis. There were months of delay on this project. They bid in 1985, after 1-1/2 years they were directed by the City to purchase ballast to make it work, they installed it at extra cost. The project is complete, they did the job for the City in good faith, they want reimbursement. There were mistakes on both sides. Atty. Rogers said in the material is a letter by Mr. Sweezey to Atty. Rogers which makes accusations to Public Works Director Kornelis. There is a claim procedure that can be implemented. He advised Council to not take action if there is a claim. For the Council to grant payment would give credence to untrue statements. It could be construed as unauthorized payment. Mr. Kornelis is not here, he is not able to comment on this. If a response is appropriate, he would ask Council to leave it to Administration, from Public Works through the Legal Dept. to the claimant. He thought it would be denied, they have an opportunity to go through the courts. Mr. Sweezey said a letter was sent May 28, he did ;got receive a reply from Atty. Rogers. He received a check for the original amount. Council has a copy of a notarized statement from one of the contractors, that Mr. Kornelis was advised that the fixture he specified was not produced by GE. The specs were erroneous. Mayor Williams said Council has reviewed this. He agrees with Atty. Rogers, it is a matter of a claim to the City rather than an appeal to Council. Council cannot take action. Mr. Sweezey asked, who is Administration? Mayor Williams replied, City Manager Brighton, Atty. Rogers, Public Works Director Kornelis. Mr. Sweezey said he made numerous phone calls to Atty. Rogers and wanted to set up a meeting. Atty. Rogers replied, it should be before the courts. Mr. Sweezey said the $11,000 is not an amount to go to the courts. Atty. Rogers has said all correspondence should go to him. All his phone calls were not returned, so he came 4 KENAI CITY COUNCIL June 17, 1987 Page 3 to Council. His position is they incurred the expenses, they will be called to show to Council- They want help on the payment. Atty. Rogers replied, if Mr. Kornelis recommends payment, they will do that, otherwise none. Mr. sweezey asked if he could receive correspondence if there is denial of the claim. Atty. Rogers replied, after review he will see that he has a written reply. ffiltt No further action by Council. N"'J, B-2 Stan Stedman/Kevin Fenner KPB Economic Development District 1P, Kevin Fenner, Kenai Borough Planning Div. They have met with Mayor Williams, Counc il and City Manager Brighton regarding formation of an Economic Development District. The Resource Development Commission was headed by Frank Mcilharqey, he is retiring. Mr. Fenner will be heading the new organization. The formation of fr districts has advantages: a) Any district that applies will receive 10% bonus for the project. b) There will be help in formation. c) It will be the only one formed in the State. They are at the data gathering stage. They are soliciting input from the cities. They are not looking for funding by the cities. The amount of money levied by the Borough can be reduced by funding from the State. The Resource Development Commission had 11 members, the cities had an appointee. The difference between that and the Economic Development District is the city delegate can be an appointee. With the Board, the cities will tave more say for action taken by the Board. it will remove it somewhat from the Borough Assembly. Mayor Williams said the City's Economic Development Commission will run parallel to this. The big question is we all pay taxes to support the Economic Development District, what benefits will derive to the City? Mr. Fenner replied, the Economic Development District Board is the overall Z. board for the whole Peninsula. That is critical for any entity in the Borough to receive funds. It can be an advantage to the Borough as a whole and the Kenai Economic Development Commission to work together. Councilwoman Bailie noted the City has been trying to have a closer working relationship with the Borough. She suggested council send a letter of support to the s. Borough urging they continue with this. Mr. Fenner added, the Borough will be keeping in touch with the cities. Mayor Williams invited Mr. Fenner and Mr. Stedman to attend the work session June 18 with Council and the Economic Development Committee. B-3 Bill Nelson, Engr. Airport Float Plane Facility X" Bill Nelson. Regarding the boat facility it is near completion. it will make the dock available for the M� PTL: g- upcoming fishing season as planned. The extra 9, tN jw�. .1_41i facilities will be available by July. Regarding the float plane facility. The FAA has approved a grant of $1.6 Million+ for this project. The up -dated cost estimate reflects the plans to date. They will be able to construct with these funds. There if the bids come in lower. The ........... ......... are 2 added alternates connected to a basic bid is a 3500 ft. water runway - A44 7�1 2800 ft. taxiway for tie-up. There is an area MM_ designated for future lease lots. This will stimulate OW "A airport activity and boost tourism & fishing. The paved road on 4th Ave. is the access road to the s :3 KENAI CITY COUNCIL June 17, 1987 Page 4 :. runway. There is a limited access runway for wheeled planes to convert to floats. There is a launch ramp and security fencing. Possible lot Ave access Is an added alternate. An access road up tote leased lot area is an added alternate. They will begin < construction Aug. 1. The current airport work will be _ complete. They would like to have the bid opening July 15, plans available June 22. Councilwoman Bailie said . she understood the water tank would be outside of the secured area. Mr. Nelson replied, the existing A, ,Y security fence runs on the airport line. It is all a secured area. They propose a new fence that will have gate access. It will maintain the water tank as a secured area. There has been vandalism in the past. With the added alternate they will be changing the y<- r fence on 4th Ave. with gates to limit access. recess t would be by lot Ave. They estimate 20-30 cars per day, F<: it will not be heavy traffic. Councilman Measles asked, if we use 4th Ave. access, will there be .y security for the float plane basin? Mr. Nelson replied 1,;, trcre will not be a gate across. Councilman " Measles asked, what would the City's liablilL LC is ch-re '7,1is damage or a drowning? Mr. Nelson replied, there will be a gate but it will normally be open. Atty. Rogers replied, the liability is not greater nor less 'u=ice than now. We have numerous gates now that are not all locked. The water could be an attractive nuisance. He will review this. Mr. Nelson said the water taxi -way area is already in existence. It has been maintained 'sF vYYF, with water for a long time. They have designated an overflow spillway with a screen. The existing fence 3, encloses the float plane basin. 4th Ave. would be the only place open. With the added alternate, they could f' walk but not drive in. He added, calling the ponds an attractive nuisance is a judgment call. A fence is climbable, the existing fence can be knocked down. Atty. Rogers noted the increased traffic could be a safety hazard, it will be watched more by the tower. Airport Manager Ernst said a facility of this type is almost impossible to secure. A gate is not the r. r solution. It is more secure than Lake Hood and others in Alaska. MOTION: Councilwoman Bailie moved, seconded by Councilman Measles, to proceed so the documents are ready to be handed out by June 22. Engineer LaShot noted they have the ad in the paper now, he will send the plans June 18. Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote. B-4 Leif Hansen Memorial Park Construction Dr. Peter Hansen, Kenai. His family is encouraging Council to look at the Blazy bid. Finance Director Brown reported, this date Dr. Hansen submitted a check for $25,000 to him. Taking the Blazy bid, substituting alternate #3, adding added alternate #2 is $68,940. Substituting City funds of $43,560+, the short fall is $25,000. That is Dr. Hansen's contribution, with $700 left over. Councilwoman Bailie expressed the thanks of the Council to Dr. Hansen for the donation. MOTION: KENAI CITY COUNCIL June 17, 1987 Page 5 Councilwoman Bailie moved, seconded by Councilman Measles, to accepIC the bid from Blazy for the basic bid and deduct alternate 83. With Dr. Hansen's donation, the money would be available with added alternate #1 & 82. MOTION, Addition: Councilwoman Bailie, with consent of second, further explained the motion, by stating they wanted the basic bid and alternate #2, delete #1 and accept #3 for $68,940. Councilwoman Bailie noted the sidewalk could be added at a later date. Dr. Hansen saie Architect Gintoli recommended deleting $47,000+. By adding alternate $3 we would be going to a ready-made gazebo. It would not be as substantial or as well-built. They (the family) would be happy with either. If we take the larger one without alternate #3, it would take extra time. Architect Gintoli explained, after the bids were opened, he met with the Public Works Dept. It would be worth $3,500 to get the larger gazebo. Both will have wood floors, the designed one has a cupola roof, planters & benches on the exterior and is larger. All bidders bid on the same alternate, there is a $9,000 spread. Mayor Williams noted Blazy is the low bid for both gazebos. Finance Director Brown noted we could draft an amendment to Federal Revenue Sharing for the July 1 meeting. If Council wants $72,440, they are short $3,500. Council could award $72,440 subject to appropriating at the July 1 meeting, it will not be before Council again. He then reported the Recreation Dept. has $3,500+ for park improvements. MOTION, Withdraw: Councilwoman Bailie, with consent of second, withdrew her motion. MOTION: Councilwoman Bailie moved, seconded by councilman Measles, to appropriate $72,440 to allow the contract to be awarded to Blazy Const. to include $43,500 available from City funds, $25,380 donation from the Hansen family for the large gazebo, and the remainder to come from Recreation Dept. funds.

He suggested the minimum bid be paid before June 15, rather than $.03 per lb. by Oct. Y 4. These are cash buyers and they leave Aug. 1. ".) credit. We should protect the City's revenue. This is a possible $90,000. we could count totes of fish - 1,000 lb. is $300. We can afford to put KENAI CITY COUNCIL June 17, 1987 Page 7 someone down there. We should bill the people the next day and collect before the next period. These people have cash. The bulk of the run is over by Aug. 1. This is credit line without collateral or credit rating. b. Larry Powers, Cook inlet Seafood. He has been in Kenai 30 years, he is buying for Whitney Foods. He has $11 Million credit at a local bank. He will pay 25% of the load in cash, the rest at the end of the season. He will have $150,000 worth of equipment that is not going anywhere. A performance bond is no problem. He settles with Whitney Foods on Oct. 1, that is why he asked for Oct. 4. Mayor Williams asked if he had any objection to a personal guarantee as well as corporate guarantee. Mr. Powers replied, he would be signing as sole proprietor. Mayor Williams suggested securing a personal guarantee so we have assets to go against. Councilwoman Bailie said with a personal guarantee we should have. something in the specs regarding a performance bond. It should have a personal guarantee with sole proprietorship and minimum amount up -front as suggested. Mr. Powers said in the bid proposal it said 3 increments, $8,500 minimum. He could give the City that right now. Mr. Nord said it would be better to collect when the fishermen are on the dock than later. Mayor Williams asked if the Harbormaster's duties include keeping track of totes on a daily basis. Engineer LaShot replied yes - that and fish tickets. He added, since we did not receive bids, we did this by negotiation. The specs can be used for negotiation. Motion passed by unanimous consent. C-7 Res. 87-40: MOTION: Councilman Measles moved, seconded by Councilwoman Bailie, to adopt the resolution. PUBLIC COMMENT: a. Joe Nord, Allied Processing, Harbor Commission member. Mr. Ihander needs to be watched closely and have his money up -front. He should have a performance bond. Mr. Nord had dealings with him in the past, he will be in Oregon by Aug. 5. Engineer LaShot said he spoke with Mr. Ihander on the phone. He said he would like to stick with his proposal and bid specs. Councilman Measles suggested Administration incorporate the same requirements in this agreement as in the last. Council agreed to the suggestion. Engineer LaShot asked, what if he turns this down? Atty. Rogers replied, it will be available to anyone else under these terms. Mayor Williams asked, did we negotiate with Mr. Ihander without bid documents? Engineer LaShot replied yes, but we referred to the bid specs. Atty. Rogers said the tentative arrangements were subject to Council approval. There are now new arrangements. He will have to accept or reject. Engineer LaShot asked if this has to be awarded by Council. Atty. Rogers replied no, Council gives direction to proceed, he will review the contract with Public Works. Engineer LaShot said if Mr. Ihander turns this lip F �i}� • `��r`V Il R: KBNAI CITY COUNCIL June 17, 1987 Page 8 down, we have 2 proposals that are not close regarding payment. We will probably be starting from scratch. City Manager Brighton added, only with the specs as declared. b. Bill Nelson, Engineer. A suggested option is, if the City had someone who wanted to lease and was willing to make daily payments, we could require a smaller up -front amount. c. Joe Nord. What does the City do if they take fish for 2 periods and do not pay? Do you evict them? if you wait for the July 1 meeting, 3 weeks are gone. Motion passed by unanimous consent.

Councilwoman Bailie noted Homer & Seward are charging. Harbor Commission Chairman Quesnel explained, unlike Homer & Seward, we do not have any space. We will take a look at it through the year. Councilwoman Bailie suggested posting a "no camping" sign. Mayor Williams noted the Harbormaster can take care of this. There will be someone there 24 hours a day. Mr. Quesnel replied they have a sign there now. Mayor Williams said Public Works Director Kornelis has a proposal of enlarging the staging area. He would like to have the Harbor Comm. review this. We have $900,000+ available for roads, etc. If we need a larger area, we can look at it this Fall. Councilman McComsey asked if there will be trailers for the people leasing the dock. Mr. Quesnel replied, if there is room they will be assigned a space. He added, regarding the boat launch ramp. They figured no charge for 1987. Next year they will charge. Mayor Williams said it was not the intention of Council to charge. Mr. Quesnel noted Homer & Seward charge. Mayor Williams said regarding the waste oil dump, what are we going to do? Engineer LaShot replied, we have no plans at this time. We can spread it as dust retardant if it is waste oil. They will have to check the composition. Mayor Williams noted the showers are $3, when will it not be worth $3? Mr. Quesnel replied, the customers will decide. He added, regarding the skiff moorage charge. That will be difficult to enforce.

KENAI CITY COUNCIL June 17, 1887 Page 11 H-5 Disc. - Subordination Agreement - Roger Roll, NBA Atty. Rogers explained, Admin. Asst. Gerstlauer has attached a memo. The City position is $61,000, the bank position is $183,000. This is a negative position. He has advised against subordination. Admin. Asst. Gerstlauer noted this is 1/4 of the building. Atty. Rogers added, he thought the Code prohibits this. Mayor Williams asked Administration to prepare a list of all properties with 2nd position (or worse) to indicate the possible consequences of these, the amount owed, and the amount the City could become liable for should bond indebtedness not be met. Council took no action. H-7 Disc. - Agreement for Exchange - Automatic Aid/Initial Action - Fire Protection, Rescue, Medical Service City Manager Brighton said this is an agreement with Nikiski, Kenai and Kalifornsky Beach. It 3-1 a mutual aid agreement that we will respond in case help is needed in any fire district. It does not include Soldotna, Sterling, etc. There is no additional cost. It has been worked out by the people ;n those areas. Item Info #3 is the Memo of Understanding, this is the technical part. It will provide all the districts with manpower, expertise, and apparatus not available before. Councilwoman Bailie noted we are dealing with one volunteer district, one part volunteer and part paid, one all paid. Would this get to a point where if they know Kenai will respond Kenai will have to do a lot of fire service for K-Beach? Fire Chief Al Willis, Nikiski. K-Beach has 4 paid, 2 volunteer captains who coordinate with Nikiski. They work as one unit. If there is a fire at K-Beach, they respond, Nikiski picks up. K-Beach will be one year old Tuly 1. They went to a Class 8 in the 1st 6 weeks; that is the first time in the State, possibly in the U.S. With 3 depts. they can put 35 paid people on line. We have 26,000 gallons of water on wheels with 3 depts., 1300 gallons of foam. We have $1 Billion assessed valuation, $2 Million+ payroll. They do not pay each other because they are organized to help. They are 5-7 miles apart, they can make this work. Mr. Brighton added, if K-Beach were called, Nikiski will cover our fire house, Nikiski will not run to K-Beach. We are 1st response for K-Beach. All of these depts. have substantial training, they will be able to inter -relate with all depts. Chief Willis noted this is nothing new, we have had cooperative agreements with the State, but we do not have the service we had 5 years ago. K-Beach people will take the place of the Feds that left 3 years ago. Mr. Brighton noted there is a 30 day cancellation clause if this does not work. Councilwoman Bailie said the City will probably go both directions at all times, we will have to go to more fires. She suggested a report at intervals. Chief Willis replied there will be a once a month report.. Also, K-Beach will be available if the bridge is not usable. Mr. Brighton said he would give Council the monthly report. Council agreed to sign the agreement. H-8 Disc. - Room Use - Recreation Program => - s�Hi.AM c KENAI CITY COUNCIL June 17, 1987 Page 12 Recreation Director McGillivray explained this memo was received the day after Council action on Community Schools. KC:HS was upset by this. We are running the summer recreation program with 90 kids in our facilities. They have morning and afternoon groups, the only problem will be the aerobics in the morning.
