Marko Zurak, Doyle Construction. They are in the latter
stages of one pro act (Inlet Woods), and beginning another
(Eagle Rock, etc.. Inlet Woods was a "contractor's dream"
as for as utilities, etc* were concerned. He distributed
material to Council. The project was divided into 2 stages.
--° - -
The contractor would do phase It when complete they would go
to phase 2 so the utilities could be done. It should have
worked, but when the work woe complete and utility compenAse

went in to do the work, there were gaga. Doyle had to
devise the project and submit it to the City to be done by
Oct. 1985. There was not enough to go through 1966. The

another job to do this. The follow ng Monday they were told
by McLane they did not want them to do this, they would do
`
their own bore. Doyle did the street, curb and gutter work

do Bryson saying Enster would do crossings. At the time they
did not have a contract. Doyle felt this wee the wrong
time, they could do it when Doyle finished their
underground, so they said no. They received a letter from
the City saying they were not cooperating, it wca herd to
cooperate when it was spelled out phase 2 would be done May
15 to June 15. Doyle said they would do phase 2 this year.
The letter from the City was dated Oct. 1985. The request
from Wince, Corthell 6 Bryson to do crossings was dated Oct.
1985. Doyle felt they were delaying them from paving. In
phase 1 they lost 3 to 3-1/2 weeks with problems. With
phase 2 they lost 8 months. The underground work on
crossings started Aug. 15. They completed it June 1986. It
is to the City's benefit to have this completed as soon as
possible. They will collect assessments when it is
complete. Doyle has to complete their work in 2 weeks. A 3
week delay plays an important part. In the contract it
states the City will suffer financial losses if it is not
completed. The contractor will pay the City $450 per day
for each day till complete. Mr. Zurek submitted some
suggestions for future LID's. Doyle had no problems with
the project, but the time lost carried it to the following
year. Their warranty will not start till the work is
complete. He is asking Council to have s work session to
discuss this. Atty. Rogers noted to Council that they
should be aware that this may be a claimant against the City
i
and he cautioned them that if they wished to negotiate t is
their prerogative. If note it will come to the Legal Dept.
Mr. Zurek added, if a project goes over time, it is never
looked at. Mayor Wagoner stated Council did not wish to
discuss at this time. Mr. Zurek said there is some serious
planning to be done for future LID's. Atty. Rogers
explained, if the City acknowledged any problems at this
time it would be a factor against the City in future
dealings. Mayor Wagoner noted there is a City ordinance
requiring location of utilities. Public Works Director
Kornelis explained, in this case the utilities worked
together to put them in the some corridor. Mayor Wagoner
noted there are 2 problems to solve. The problems with
Doyle Const. should be handled administratively, and a work
session can be scheduled for general problems with LID's and
utilities.
Council agreed to the suggestion.

a. Loretta Breeden, 1602 Barabare, Kenai. She asked that
the ordinance be amended that there be no launching of
boats by trailer at Cunningham Pk. Many times there
may be 40-60 people fishing there, it is one of the
good areas to fish on the river bank. Launching boats
interferes for 15 minutes to 1/2 hour. Trucks with
trailers go down on the gravel and mud. People park on
Beaver Loop Rd. She had no objection to canoes. There
is a terrible amount of erosion. Mayor Wagoner noted
the ramp is steep and people also have trouble stopping
their boats.

prohibit boat launching at Cunningham Pk.

Councilman Wise moved, seconded by Councilwoman Bailie, to
emend the ordinance, 14.25.0309 line 19 keep the number of
copies at three. He further amended the paragraph, line 7,
add the words# 113rd copy with action taken shall be
forwarded to building inspector."
Councilman Wise explained, the building inspector does not
--
know the changes made. If it is tuined down, a permit may
V.
be issued inadvertently. Councilman Hall said it is
approved by -the Landscaping Bd, before the permit is issued.
Councilman Wise noted it does not say that. Council agreed,.°'{
to have Administration review this. Councilwoman Bailie
suggested combining the duties of the Landscape Bd. with
`-
P&Z. We have too many boards for builders. She noted we
are doing away with penalties for non-compliance.

Councilwoman Bailie said Council should address the problems

with a temporary ;t�rtificate. Also, penalties would be set

by the City Manager, that should be changed.
MOTION, Amendments
Councilwoman Bailie moved, seconded by Councilman Wise, to
amend the ordinance, 14.25.060, line 7, sentence beginning
"In the event--" should be left in.
Councilman Wise said the old language said Council is the
only one that can grant a certificate. That is not the
intent of Council. We are just talking about landscaping,
not code enforcement. Building Inspector Hackney said this
Is a zoning ordinance. There are penalties in the zoning
ordinance without tying it to a certificate of occupancy.
He cannot give them a shorter time then 9 months on any
other problem. He cannot give structure and landscaping
temporary certificate at the same time. Councilwoman Bailie
felt it should be more restrictive. Councilman Measles
suggested writing conditions on the temporary certificate
that specify. Atty. Rogers explained, that puts the burden
on the City. He suggested making it up to 9 months at the
discretion of the Building Inspector. He also suggested
changing Planning Specialist to Building Inspector.
VOTE, Amendments
Motion passed unanimously by roll cell vote.
Council agreed to have a work session with PbZ and Landscape
Bda to discuss combining. Councilman Wise suggested the
site plan ordinance should be combined with this
ordinance. Councilman Measles noted regarding
modifications it does not give the Planning Specialist
direction on to whet minor modifications are, if she makes
a decision Council does not like, there is no recourse.

G-9 Approval - Request for Extension of Drilling Permits,
Cannery Loop Walla #1 & #3
Mayor Wagoner noted Council had a letter from AK DNR
dated June 13 distributed this date.
MOTION:
Councilmen Wise moved, seconded by Councilwomen Bailie, to
approve the request.
PUBLIC COMMENT:
a. Kevin Tabler, Union 011, Anchorage. In the last year,
the working interest owners have met with State and
Federal agencies in establishing production of
hydrocarbons. They made application for a new
application to the State, it was rejected. They have
made a new application for Tyonek D, not Beluga. It
wee approved, Beluga was disapproved. The March 1
application was submitted for expansion, it was
approved. Beluga was resubmitted and approved. All 3
were approved with unit expansion. Surface unit
expansion and pipe line work can now start production.
Actual extraction cannot commence for 90 days after
approval. They can start by July 19 but they do not
have the facility in place.
b. Loretta Breeden, 1602 Berebare, Kenai. She asked
Council to consider, the decision affects royalty and
income of the City end shareholders and should not be
taken lightly. She asked Mr. Tabler what the outer
limits of the 2 Tyonek end Beluga zones are and how
would they affect residents. Mr. Tabler replied, the
participating area is established. There is no
disagreement with that, it has been approved by the
State and Federal Governments. He had a map outline.
Production cannot commence till drilling is in place.
They are in the process of right-of-way acquisition.
They hoped to be on last year, they now have approval
for this year. They are building the surface
facilities this year, they would like to enter #1 and
#3 as soon as possible. Mrs. Breeden eeked, what is
the participating area? Mr. Tabler replied, Tyonek D
is the smallest, Upper Tyonek is next, Beluge is the
largest. They took in Section 16 because they thought
it would be productive. They are all 3 participating
unite. Ruby Coyle eeked, when do they start? Mr.
Tabler replied, they will work #1 and 0. The largest
Is Beluga. There will be production on those within
Beluga. They have plane for 8 more wells to complete
development.
C. Ruby Coyle, 1412 Barebara, Kenai. She has a letter
from Unocal to the State and copies of letters from the
AK Oil do Gas Ode that Unocal will drill another well in
1986, to that on schedule? Does AK Oil 8 use Ode hold
Unocal to that? Mr. Tabler replied, it is the plan of
development. They do this once a year. In 1984 when
they filed for participating unit establishment* they
were given a time frame Mork schedule. They had to do
certain things* 1986 was culminated at drilling. The
goal was to get the product started. If there was no
market they would ask for on amendment to develop. Re-
opening of #1 6.#3 will be that committment. Mrs.
Coyle asked* did the committment of Unocal to AK Oil 8
Gas Ode say they would go seat of the 2 wells to find
out the perimeters of participating unite? Mr. Tabler
replied he does not have that letter. He did not
remember the requirements* if was demonstrated with

additional work that hydrocarbons did go further east
then considered at first. Mayor Wagoner noted the only
reason to go east would be to establish unite, they are
already established. Mr. Tabler replied, that is moot
now, this is the initial contract area, it could be
expanded.
Motion passed by unanimous consent.
ADDITIONAL COMMENT:
9. Jim White, Far North Oil & Gas, Kenai. For North has
an interest and has informed the State since 1983 that
they have a market. These wells have not yet been put
on stream. They have asked for a one year extension.
For North has tried every way they know how to get
these on stream. Mayor Wagoner explained the State has
formed participating unite, they cannot start
production till they have a pipeline. Mr.. White
replied, he did not care if they had a pipeline. He
would like them to put in welle, he will put in his own
pipelines.

City Manager Brighton spoke.
a. Ed Lowry has asked for access to the back side of his
property (Kenai Plaza). He distributed material this
date. Construction is being held up till access is
acquired.
Ed Lowry, Kenai. He reviewed the background as stated
in the material. Atty. Rogers said he had reviewed
this with Public Worke, they are water & sewer
easemente, not access easements. Mr. Lowry replied,
that is a different thing. They were in the process of
granting Attye Rogerseasementsta en�

access and deferred him to Public Worka, who deferred
him to Planning Secy. Loper. It was approved by P&Z
1-1/2 years ago. Because there is water & sewer there,
there did not seem to be a need to spend money for
right-of-way through there. Atty. Rogers replied, Mr.
Lowry chose not to. Mr. Lowry agreed, adding the
question is does he have access. Based on May 239 1964
minutes, no one in the City seems to know. Atty.
Rogers replied, it does not exist now and Mr. Lowry
wants Council to let him proceed with vacation for
access. Mr. Lowry replied it is -his contention it has
been approved. Atty. Rogers noted this material was
received June 16. Mr. Lowry met with City Manager
Brighton June 16. Atty. Rogers has not reviewed the
material. Right now there is a water & sewer easement,
that is all. Mr. Lowry replied, he felt there was more
than that granted and it did not happen. Atty. Rogers
replied, it was in 19849 there was no perfection or
follow-up. Councilman Wise noted it was not executed
by Administration. City Manager Brighton replied it
was not Administration's responsibility to execute.
Mr. Lowry added, Land Manager Labohn left and it was
not done. He requested the City prepare vehicle access
agreement for that area, it will stand till it needs to
be platted. He will assume the coat of platting.
Mayor Wagoner asked if the property problems have been
cleared up. Mr. Lowry replied, they will be in a few
days.

Councilman Wise moved, seconded by Councilwoman Bailie, that
a vehicle easement which coincides with the utility easement

MOTION, Addition:
Councilman Wiest with consent of second, asked that the
3-20-84 document be incorporated in the agreement.
Councilman Hall said if we are going to grant thiep there
should be a public hearing. The people in that area are
under the assumption there is no easement there. His Lowry
replied, that was included in the public hearing in 1964.
P&Z and Council have approved. Mayor Wagoner Bald he is not
comfortable with this, he has just received the document,
Councilman Hall noted from the minutes he cannot tell if it
was approved or not. Mayor Wagoner asked that Planning
Sacy. Loper research this. He noted we are still under
foreclosure. City Manager Brighton sold without access
except for Spur Hwy from McDonelds and the shopping area, we
could be responsible for an accident-prone area. There will

acres by slow take. If it becomes necessary to go to

the document would be draftedv Airport Manager Ernst
and Atty. Rogers will meet with FAA. They need their
concurrence and will ask them those questions before
filing. We would have the money in 20 days with a feet
take but would not know what we would pay. Mayor

be John Williams, Kenai. He asked that Candlelight be
considered in the duet control.
cs Jim White, For North Oil A Gas, Kenai. The problem
that exists is the oil industry is in flux right now.
The conditions that existed in January no longer exist.
The coat of crude has gone way down. Mitigating in
this is the insurance and bond requirements. The
markets that used to write liability insurance and
bonding no longer do this. The only 2 markets writing
are London markets, the cost is prohibitive. For
$20,000 worth of labor, they have to have $60,000 to
$709000 insurance to underwrite that labor. If we can
work this out, the results will be far reaching. We
will be the first in the State that is not a major oil
company since Statehood. Mayor Wagoner asked, what is
the State bond? Mr. White replied, if they were
drilling a single well, $100000 bond. Statewide
permit is $2009000. He has 02 Million in cash put up
for 2 wells. The State hoe certified they can drill if
this was in the Borough. The only impediment they have
Is the bonding and insurance requirements. They are
going to re -work an old well. Atty. Rogers explained,
the City's protection would be to go against the State
bond. Councilwoman Bailie asked that Administration
research this and the ramifications if it is rescinded.
City Manager Brighton noted Kenai is the only city in
Alaska where drilling is taking place. It is because
of this ordinance that adjacent land owners do not have
to go to the State for claims.
Council agreed with the suggestion.
Mr. White explained, he has rental equipment on site
that is costing him thousands of dollars per day, there
is an urgency. A 30-40 day wait could mean disaster.
Mike Pelchl 3456 Beaver Loop Rd., Kenai. He
homesteaded the land in 1951. He owns the land with
the drilling rig on it. He has had problems with
Unocal and nothing has been done. The land hoe a
smell. He has subdivided and cannot sell the land.
Reel estate agents will not handle because of Unocal
contamination. Mr. White will not do any damage, it
has already been done. He will open a well already
dug. He will just pump gas out. Mayor Wagoner
suggested the expedient way would be to put up a
$25#000 bond. Mr, white explained he already has
$100 000 in this that he cannot uses Mr. Poloh asked
why the City did not have Unocal clean up his property.

nothing hoe been done.
Greg MoAuliffe. He has a substantial interest in the
loses in Kenai. If the State has stringent
requirements, that should be sufficient for the City.
far North has the catobiiity to work if the City will
waive the requiremonas It would benefit the State and
the City.
Sohn Williams, Kenai. He asked if the ordinance was in
effect in 1991 when the first well was drilled. Atty.
Rogers replied, he thought so. Mr. Williams noted the

bonding requirement has done nothing to help this man's
property. Mayor Wagoner explained, it is up to the
owner to claim the bond.
Waldo Coyle, 1412 Berabara, Kenai. The State DEC has
had material in the paper about Unocal not cleaning
up drilling mud, but nothing has happened.
Ruby Coyle, 1412 Berabers, Kenai. Regarding For North,
maybe this would distinguish the area for formation of
cannery loop unit. Unocal has drilled on City
property, State property and Mr. Pelch'e land. The
drilling has affected Coyle's artesian well and the
ducks in the flats and killed the grass in the duck
flats. IF the City could prove the extent of the oil
and gas pool they could pay for the community center.
James White, Jr., 504 PineKenai. The $500000
Insurance requirement for 120,000 worth of labor will
go to some insurance company's pocket. The bonding
requirement is redundant with the State requirement.
He asked that the ordinance amendment be on the July 2
agenda. Councilman Wise asked if it could be discussed
at the June 25 work session.
d. Clarence Ladd, Kenai. He has asked Council before and
has gone to Landscape Bd. The Senior Center is being
pushed down the pole and the community center put at
the top. He wants the brush cleared out in front of
the Senior Center. Mayor Wagoner said he hoe looked at
it and is not sure what Mr. Ladd wants. If we cut
trees down, we will hear from many people. Mr. Ladd
replied, no trees, just brush.
e. Clarence Ladd, Kenai. Regarding the community center.
What would it cost to move the towers end equipment?
Mayor Wagoner replied the estimate is $250#000. It
will not be done at this time. Councilwoman Bellie
added the center will not be at the antenna farm.
f. Jim White, For North Oil & Gee. If the ordinance can
only be expedited for the health and welfare of the
City, he noted economics affect the health and welfare
of the City. None of us would be here without oil.
