PUBLIC COMMENT: k+, = as Jess Hall, Alaska Craftsman Home Program. He explained he was here to answer questions. Councilwoman Bailie asked if the money appropriated would be paid back to the State on a .�;;.�.,�,_• ,r-:� � pro rata basis. Mr. Hall replied, this has not �� been worked out yet. When a person sells his } home, any equity in the sale would go to pay -back, or if it sold for more it would go to pay -back. x That money would go to new homes being built. In ' rural areas there would be direct grants. The r first 250 built would not be paid back, they would be demonstration models. There have been 2 built z under these standards, they work well. in these s= �L�,••ux economic times, there needs to be an economic J incentive. Councilwoman Bailie noted a lot of the money appropriated for this will go to the UofA to . ti.'.k 7. i.�s..' 1 - l•'Y� Yr' n'? study this plan first. Could we use the data Canada has or do we have to start overt Mr. Hall � •, "4'�.. ' ' ' '" replied, they are using much of the material, but �. KENAI CITY COUNCIL SEPT. 2, 1987 PAGE 3 there are things unique to Alaska that they have to consider regarding heat loss and temperature. It is a long term development for research for Alaska that could eventually be used throughout the States, starting in Alaska. Councilman Ackerly asked if we are rural. Mr. Hall replied no, but the first 250 could be placed anywhere in the State. The rural areas would get them even after the first 250 were built. Councilman Ackerly said the State could stop subsidising the rural areas with utilities. Mr. Hall explained, this is one thing the Legislature has been directed to. In this area you can cut heating bills to pay back in 6-7 years, from $500-$600 per month to $50-$60 per month. Councilman Ackerly said the impact will not be as great in this area. Mr. Hall agreed, if you are on natural gas it is cheap now. There are other advantages to this - air -tight buildings, totally ventilated, safer, cleaner. Items in the house give off gases, they will be ventilated. It will be cheaper and better to live in. Councilman Ackerly said he objected to the political aspects of rural vs urban. Councilman McComsey asked, who will oversee building in the Bush and see that the house is built? Who will take care of air quality, etc.? Mr. Hall replied he did not know about Bush building. There are problems in this area, there is no inspection outside of the cities. He is an instructor for the program and puts on seminars. These houses have to be built precisely. Councilman McComsey said in the past the State has sent supplies out and let them build themselves. They burned the wood and took the money. Mr. Hall explained, in order to qualify they have to be tested. Councilman Measles asked, are there any other stipulations for selling? Mr. Hall replied it is simpler than Farm Home. This is paid on the total price of the house. Farm Home takes a portion of the equity to pay, this will be a portion up front. Unless houses lose value, you would have to pay back. It is also better on the market than standard houses. He added, the price of the project is $1.4 Million to UofA, $450,000 for information distribution, $4.5 Million to home equity subsidy. Mayor Williams said this is a research project that will be for conservation purposes in the future for fuels we may not have. He had not been sure if $4.5 Minion was a justifiable use of the people's money. But energy is something that will be higher in cost and more scarce in the future. The citizens will benefit from these items. we may save more that $4.5 Million in the long term. We are talking about a conservation unit that will save for 70+ years. He was concerned about a subsidy taking away from the private sector, but with the long term benefit he will support it. Councilwoman Bailie noted people are disgruntled about subsidizing heating bills in the Bush now. This is a measure that will address this. b. Carmen Gintoli, Architect, 117 Deepwood Ct., Kenai. He built an energy -conservation house for himself at a higher cost. He planned a heat energy unit in City Hall. But he is concerned about spending $1.2 Million to research something that we already know about. A portion of the money is to educate contractors. He can design an energy efficient house, super -insulated, at half a 1♦� VVMAT VTT_v rnlmrTt. = SEPT. 2, 1987-- --- - PAGE 4 pis the $6,000 cost. He has the technology in his office. _ ' Councilman Measles asked, if we do not support this, what does it mean? it only means Kenai will not get any of the homes, it will not stop the State subsidy. a VOTE (Passed): Yes: Measles, Monfor, Williams, Bailie, Malston " •;�. ;:�,: -, fix, No: Ackerly, McComsey � or=.

The State should be responsible, at least the Borough should take the initiative. Because of the time line and our children in school, he suggested the City take the responsibility. There are 2 areas we can look at for funding - General Fund or left over Federal funds. Councilman Ackerly suggested the City put in the line and send the bill to the Borough and the State.

MOTION: Councilman Measles moved, seconded by Councilman Malston, to introduce the ordinance. Motion passed by unanimous consent. Mayor Williams said, regarding Marathon Rd. - if we pave it should be done this year. Otherwise it will be late next year. Councilman Ackerly asked, it would not °> be an assessment district? Mayor Williams replied, that is correct. Councilman Ackerly asked if this was against policy set by Council regarding assessments. Mayor Williams replied, this is not a residential road or standard situation. It is a condition created by r-.. f. the addition of a project by the City of Kenai. All of the in-house traffic goes on Marathon Rd. Councilman ,., Measles said there are 2 businesses most affected, Marathon Rd. was relocated since they moved in, before HEA moved in. There is no other access, truck traffic will always be there. Councilwoman Monfor said the proposal from the engineering firm was less than ih $8,000, they are bringing down the cost. Councilman Ackerly asked, when will we do Swires? Mayor Williams A� replied there is nothing we can do regarding Swires this season. Councilman Measles suggested he would like to use this season to have the Borough do Swires. Councilman Ackerly explained, he is thinking of precedence. Councilman Measles replied, the City did not build the school. Councilman Ackerly noted the =- City did not build the golf course. Councilwoman Bailie said there are some extenuating circumstances. We are talking about businesses that are in the City. When they built, the situation was not like this. We have a responsibility to strip pave and not form an assessment district. There are alternate roads tot e x=-a= golf course, you cannot compare this. Mayor Williams noted a 2nd reading was requested. one of the ;. _ mitigating factors is gravel being carried to the highway and out on the highway.

MOTION, Adopt: Councilman Measles moved, seconded by Councilwoman Bailie to adopt the ordinance. PUBLIC COMMENT a. Dave Brown, 118 Wooded Glen, Kenai. To spend s- $50,000 to protect 2 businesses from dust is excessive. He can understand their problems, he has a dirt driveway and would like it paved. It is not the City's responsibility. There are several dirt roads with the same hazard. The st l $42,000 appropriated would be better spent with the list of City priorities. There would still be :._:.. time at the Sept. 16 meeting. To appropriate this x ••r without considering other priorities is not good. Councilwoman Monfor said it is not $50,000 if we ,ty take the engineering costs. It will be $28,000 with Bill Nelson's bid. We are also appropriating v- to parks and recreation for equipment. We have had a work session to appropriate for Federal `.z Revenue Sharing, the equipment was on the priority list. we should consider 2 businesses on the road �fr that bring in much sales tax. The money we spend - in dust control would be paid in 2 times. Our dust control is not that effective. r� � b. Jess Hall, Kenai. He urged the City move forward with the paving, based on the 2 testimonies. It is a lot of cost in damaged cars. This is fi. different than residential. ?� c.
