Be PERSONS PRESENT SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD B-1 Dick Boyeen, Kenai Rotary Club - Volunteer Landscaping of Airport Triangle Dick Boyeen. They met with the Landscape Boards they want to donate engineering and labor to the project. Railroad ties are the cheapest way to go. Estimating 3 ties highs they would need 600. He propoe�d the City provide transportation and purchase the ties. The preliminary plan has trails he said the park Is small the consensus was to eliminate the trails. We should not encourage foot traffic. This year they could do the topsoil and railroad ties. They may get some tress donated. The r could do the flowers next year. They will need City truoke and equipment, Mayor Wagoner asked what the City liability would be._ Public Works Director Kornelie replied the City could furnish operstore. Council agreed to furnish City equipment and operatotso, Hr. Kornelie added, flat bed trucks would be best. Mr. Boyeen noted there may be people in the area that way donsti labor to load the ties. He noted the ties available at thin time are not good. yes+;. KENAI CITY COUNCIL May 2'9 1986 Page 2 0-2 Clarence Ladd - Brush at Senior Center Clarence Ladd, Kenai. The tourists are coming to the City now. He asked that the brush in front of the Senior Center be moved. Brush only, not everything. The building is hidden from tourists. It could be a nice park. The gulley could be done next year. Regarding parking, the parking is getting too for away for the seniors to walk. The parking lot could be moved up by the building next year also. Parking could be made on a 45 angle instead of straight out. Mayor Wagoner asked if there was a brusher on the tractor. Answer, yes. Councilman Hall noted the new site plan ordinance may make this difficult to do. Council agreed to direct City Manager Brighton, Public Works Director Kornelis and Recreation Director McGillivray to take action on this item. C.

Substitute Ord. 1135-86 - Adding to Ballot - "And Authorizing Use of $195009000 from General Fund Capital Improvement Reserve." NOTION: Councilmen Monfor moved, seconded by Councilwoman Bellies to adopt the ordinance. PUBLIC COMMENT: a. Susan Smalley, Kenai. She had a concern with timing. Special elections are traditionally a low turn -out. The election costa a lot of money. The highest percentage of votes has been 36% of a regular election, 18% of the registered voters. It should be done with a regular election. b. Ruby Coyle, Kenai. With lack of State revenue, Gramm-Rudmenn bill, increased evaluation of property by the Borough, increased sales tax, the City is having to increase the mill levy. This is poor timing. She voted for this at one time, before the City had a big auditorium, Soldotne High School auditorium and the Sporte Center. We have facilities now, we are adequately covered till we see the price of oil. She objects to a special election at this time. We voted for it in 1971 and still do not have it. We put up the money to design and put in a 1% sales tax to pay for it, it is still not taken off. We voted for it in 1980, provided the State would fund. It is a lot of money. It should be put on the ballot with the amendment and also show operating caste. She asked what it would cost to operate. Councilwoman Bailie replied, $17811 000 per year, that includes utilities, maintenance, personnel. Income is projected at $1739000, They are retiring a bond and proposing a bed text that would be a shortfall of $399000, Mrs. Coyle said the money could be better spent promoting Kenai. The bed tax will run people out and reduce the sales tax. Kenai is way down on sales tax income the last 3 quarters, below Soldotne and the Borough as a whole. When we put on a bed tax and pay off the bond we will have to increase taxes. c. Cherles-Baileyt Central Heights, Kenai. He used to work for the City, when he was with the City he would have thought we did not need a community center. He went into privets business one year ago. He will make his money here or Soldotne. It will not seen that such money for him. But he spends a lot of time in Soldotno because Kenai does not have a facility to give �•--_ —�_ -- _ _ ter-- -�� _ A'. KENAI CITY COUNCIL May 21g 1966 Page 6 services. Kenai citizens have to go to Soldotne for weddings, banquets, receptionss etc. He has gone to Soldotne at least 15 times in the past 6 to 8 months to functions run by Kenai people. The Merit Inn hoe had to cater to people in Soldotne because we do not have a facility. Regarding timings now to the time. It hoe been going on for several years. if it is important, people will get out to vote. If we wait till October, it would be next summer before we begin. Regarding revenues, there are not many states that are as good as ours. There are not many cities in Alaska with a mill rate as low as ours. Regarding oil revenue, the speaker at Chamber this date said people in the 70's never thought it would be as high as it was. It will go back up. Revenue can be increased with sales tax. If you do not have income, you do not have growth. We will have increased sales tax to cover the shortfall. d. Ron Malston, 1109-4th, Kenai. He asked Council to adopt the original ord. 1135-86. The City has a beautiful, useful library for use of its citizens but it brings people from outside into the city. When they come ing they shop in the community. The Rec center brings in outside people. The community center to another use for citizens of Kenai and outside. Regarding the cost, it will bring in people from the rest of the state and stateside. They will spend money, this will help us to replace lost revenues from the oil price drop. e. Dr. Peter Hansen, 418 Rogers Rd., Kenai. He practices in Kenai. This center lei needed now and was needed 5 to 10 years ago. It will help the community. He is involved in community activities. We do not have the right kind of facility now. He is looking at it from a regional and state aspect. He is involved in Boy Scouts, there is no place outside Anchorage that they can meet. Kenai has the potential. The emergency medical people in the regional level could use the facility. On the state-wide level, there were 215 doctors in the area for a convention in the 70's. They have not registered that many since. They have 800 in the State. There is no place in Southcentral Alaska that they can meet. It has to be Southeast Alaska or Fairbanks. The people in Anchorage do not went to meet in their town. Kenai is a vacation parsoiee and is close to Anchorage. He is with the Alaska Academy of family physicians. They can only most in Southeast Alaska or Fairbanks. This is a great means to diversify the economy. There are 3 goals to thleg 1) the center would bring people together, 2) it would diversify the economy, 3) it would increase the sales tax. f. Jim Evensong N. Kenai. He has lived in Kenai in the past. He Is a member of the Community Center committee. Hie role is to represent the visual sets people. Having a plane for history and the arts would be an addition to the cultural life of the community. The citizens should have a chance to say if they want to spend money on a community center. If it is built no one can predict its prof but it will be positives It will bringg the community together and enhance the quality 0f life. g, Tanny Millers 609 AMses Kenai. She has lived in Kenai since 1972.. In 1971 a vote was passed for 00 bonds for $000,000. In the regular election of 19009 s vote was passed - if the State put up 9OS9 the City would put up the rest ($2150000). Thera is a lot of difference between an $8009000 building with 90% funding by the U�. F KENAI CITY COUNCIL May 21* 1966 Page 7 State and $4 Million. The way it is warded, a lot of people will not realize the full impact. It only says $2.5 Million. How many people really read the ballot? The public should be aware that it will coat $4 Million. The questionnaires sent by the City to the citizens asked how they rated their needs. The one wanted most was the pioneer home. The community center was an the bottom. We need many things before we do this. Fred Braun told the Council at work session that they were going to send a delegation to Carr's in Anchorage to get the mall moving again. She could not see why we are spending $4 Million when we are in slump. h. Jim Carter, Box 2129 Kenai. He has worked for two facilities in the community, the pioneer home and the community center. Council has made prudent decisions with streets and the library. It is good that we go forward with the community center. It has been d1 on the priority list for some time. This will serve more people then any other structure the City has now or in the future. If we believe in the City motto, this is a way to express that Kenai is a city with a future. i. Dave Brown, 118 Wooded Lane, Kenai. The City needs this. The community center has been designed for a specific need. It does not have any extras already in the community. It will be a meeting place for large groups. Regarding the City Manager's poll, it asked one of every 6 voters. That is less percentage then what sho" up for a special election. Regarding putting the total figure on the ballot. There are plans to send out fact sheets to registered voters. J. Tom Murphy, N. Kenai. He formerly lived in Kenai. He asked Council to let the public make their own decision. He is with the performing arts. Mayor Wagoner asked why the high school auditorium was not being used more heavily. Mr. Murphy replied, the prices are prohibitive in both Kenai and Soldotna high schools. k. Father Tergonskyp Russian Orthodox Church. He is not for or against the building, but would like the election to be at the traditional time of voting. It would be fair to all the people. 1. Ed Garnettp Funny River Rd. He supports the community center. He attended a convention in Sitks. He spent over $450 while there for room and meals. There were 1600 people. They made $1509000 to $2009000 in 3 days. It is a positive asset for Sitkaq it will be for Kenai. m. Ruby Coyle, Kenai. She lives and pays taxes in Kenai. All the special interest groups are here. She suggested making it a service area vote and let all the people pay for it. 3une 24 Is a commercial fishing day. The fishermen will not be here. It should be handled at a regular election with all the people. Fishermen and construction workers should be allowed to vote. n... Tanny Millar, Kenai. Regarding the City Manager's poll. Possibly the City Manager puts more credence in the poll than {Coueoil does. This is extremely reliable. In both polls the community center was next to last. . Councilwoman Bailie said we should vote as soon as possible. The chances would be better to get a better bid with the HEA construction going on. She noted the longer we wait# the more expensive it will be. Regarding the City Manager poll. The pioneer home was requested from the State as a state project to be built and operated by the State for all peninsula citizens as well as Kodiak. The survey was s` k L KENAI CITY COUNCIL May 21g 1966 Page 6 random sompiing, it is fairly accurate* out you can get different results from the survey by the way it is written. Councilman Ackerly said he has not received much favorable comment on the bond proposition or the center due to negative aspects of the media regarding State expenditures. The timing for bonds is bad. Fishing and summer travel will affect it. The negative aftershock of the school bond issue will have a great impact. The prediction of use and cost is anyone's guess. Councilwoman Monfor explained we had planned to share the June 24 election with the oorough.Their election was postponed. She noted people can work for defeat as well as passage. And they can vote absentee ballot. Councilwoman Bailie said the response she has had has been overwhelmingly positive. We need to do something to get out of the slump. We are too dependent on the oil Industry. Councilmen Ackerly said Council should look at the books for the Sports Arena and the Sullivan Arena (Anchorage). He would like to see the economic impetus but he wants it to be the right shot. The Sports Arena has a $459000 electric bill and will be raising it to $90,000. They went the City of Soldotna to take over, they will not. Mayor Wagoner noted the electric bill is mainly due to the equipment. Councilwoman Bailie said this will be versatile, will serve 8 to 100 people, 10 meetings at one time. They have looked at other facilities in the State. Councilman Wise said he had a concern with the $2.5 million figure. It will cost considerably more. There is also the relocation of the antennas. We should do that at the same time. We have $J.5 Million. We have the bond capacity. They should be combined. MOTION: Councilman Wise moved to amend the ordinance with the substitute in the packet. Motion failed for lack of a second. Mayor Wagoner said he was in favor of the community center but thought it may be the wrong time. If it fails, it may set it back forever. Ruby Coyle, Kenai. If the State would appropriate the money, she would vote yes. Councilmen Wise he did not think partially funding the project is a fair way to present it. We have lost perspective as to what we are - a fishing and transportation center. We need to enhance them. Councilman Hall said he wants the people to decide. Councilwoman Sallie noted Kenai has put 10% on their projects and were still denied by the State. The people voted to put $18 Million.into it. That wag is lot of Money in those days. We are living in a community of very positive soples lunesu's is not as versatile so outs and 16413 Million. Valdes $9 Millions Fairbanks, $15 Million. With the $2.5 Million and the State'* $1.5 Million# we can oomplets the project. Ruby Co lap Kenai.. In the 2nd vote the eople voted yes but that wps provided the State pgid for �he building. MOTION,' Amendments Councilman Hall moved, seconded by Councilman Ackerly, to change the amount from $2.5 Million to $1.5 Million and stipulate we will use the $1.1 Million in grant moneys from the State. i ;r; ' KENAI CITY COUNCIL May 219 1966 Page 9 Councilman Hall explained, if the bond fails, it will be used for other uses and not committed to the community center. Councilwoman Bailie said that would give us $2.6 Million. That will not furnish the building. Councilman Wise said $2.5 Million will not do it, now reference Is to $1.1 Million. VOTE, Amendment (Passed): Yeee Hall, Wise, Wagoner, Ackerly Not Bailie, Measles, Monfor Councilwoman Bailie asked how they intended to complete the project? This will not give us enough money. There is a $300,000 differences $6009000 with contingency. Mayor Wagoner asked what the figure was for furnishing. Architect Gintoli replied, $551000. Councilwoman Bailie said the difference between W 5 Million and $1.1 Million is $2459000 per year. With the other the annual cost is $80t000 per year. The smandment will burden the people with an additional $5009000. The people will vote for $2.5 Million as easy as they would $1.5 Million. We are looking at a $400000 shortfall, that is a conservative number. Councilman Measles noted if the bond issue passes at $1.5 Million and the Governor signs the additional $1.1 "illion, there will not be enough money to start. We cannot abide by the wishes of the voters. VICE MAYOR MEASLES ASSUMED THE CHAIR. MOTION$ Mayor Wagoner moved, seconded by Councilwoman Monfort to amend the amount in the ordinance to $2 Million. Mayor Wagoner explained, this would give u• enough to build the facility. There will be 12 month construction, that would give us a year to get the cost of landscaping! etc. Every other city hoe free and full ride in funding this type of facility. It is time every city paid their fair share. Kenai should start It. If it is not out by the Governor the city could go to the Legislature for additional funding. Councilwoman Bailie said we have repeatedly seen the Legislature give us nothing. The additional $500*000 would make a difference of $40#000 per year. We would end up with a facility without furnishings and would have to go back to 3uneou. Mayor Wagoner said there is $286,000 in contingency. He did not went to spend it till we are on the way with the project. We have not used 50% of contingency in any other project of Mr. Gintoli's. The big part would be the road, landscaping and parking. Councilman Ackerly noted he did not realize we had oommitted $1.1 Million to. the community center. He thought $2.5 Million Mould build the basic building and we would have to do the landscaping, eto. Ha is willing to go back to $2.5 Million. Councilman Hall said the earliest it could be completed is sumser '87. If we ar4 short of, completion, it will be a small amount on the capital projects list. Councilwoman "*"for said she objected to Going book to the State for more money. Councilman Mosel** noted the City would have to waive its own landaosping ordinancs.if the landscaping was not complete. Councilman Miss said since we got the all money we have not had a capital project that has financed itself* it we want this, we should do it with our own assets. We should fully fund this. We have $3 to $4 Million in surplus funds. __ _ _ .
