Airport Manager Ernst said the float plane basin is put back to 1987. Councilman Wise said the owners have not made an effort to get an appraisal. Atty. Rogers suggested we contact the owners, make a proposal to pay them our offered price, have them give us a doed, enter into a contract to stipulate to a Master's Hearing and pay what the Master's Hearing decides. it would limit the risk, but would bind the City to a Master's Hearing.

All purchases would be in Anchorage. He requested a resolution opposing this, have City Manager Brighton contact the Highway Dept* to see if there is something we can do. The reason for the transfer is because Anchorage has been out and this is to fill the lost positiun. Council agreed to the request. as Vern Gehrke is in the process of bringing up a girls' tournament of softball (Little League) to Soldotne.

If it is legal, she hopped the City would appropriate funds to promote Me. It has been 11 priority for 3 years. We have 10% of the funds to show the Legislature our interest.
