PUBLIC COMMENT t s. Joan Notts 1507 Berebareq Kenai, it is a dead and street, 1/4 + Miles longs with approximstsly 11 �- families. it is well drained, wide enough rot 2 oars ` to pass. The City requires an sasrgenox turnaround. The area in front of her house could fill the regd1rsmonts. It is a 12#000 aq* ft. lot$ .$t was sada... - f small before the City was incorporated. The Mall Would be in a ditch if the road was improved. The road:noade... .� regular maintenance. If improvements are mada, it will °.Jr still be a dirt road and will need maintenance. But they will have big ditches and no tress. She urged �- Council to delete Barabsrs from the list. b. Victor Hatt, 1507 Barabere� Kenai. He flaw down from Anchorage for this meeting. Berabars is a pretty road. The speed limit is 25 MPH# there is no traffic problem. ,gym ';•' ,�' There is a lot of passing space. He has lived there 9 1 KENAI CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 69 1986 Page 4 years with no problems. There are none at break-up. If the problem is access to Beaver Loop, we could thin the brush. The real problem is maintenance. With improvements it will still be gravel. Mr. Gifford's lot may be condemned because of the small e12e. If it has to be done, he suggested it be from his house on back. If he had been a homesteader, he would give up the rights to the road when he gave the road to the City. He asked the City to keep Barabera as is. as Gordon Gifford, 1509 Barabarep Kenai. He distributed a petition in 1985, with an open letter to Council. He has no problem with the street. He had a fire at his houses the trucks had no problem. The only way he gets road maintenance is to call City Manager Brighton. He asked the City to leave the street as is. He distributed photos showing 3 cars abreast in the narrowest part of Berabara. He requested Council drop Berabara from the ordinance. d. Henry Knackstedtf property owner on Barabars. There is no need to improve the road beyond what it is now. He was raised there. The road does not break up. He recommended paving, curb, water & sewer. They have a gravel road nowt why do the same thing? e. Waldo Coyle, 1412 Baraberaq Kenai. Last winter he dug a drainage ditch 20 ft. to 25 ft, across from his house so the mail boxes would not be in water. The road needs improvementap not loads of gravel but culverts for the water. Of the 2 people testifying this date, one represents 100 ft., the other - 200 ft. Loretta Breeden owns the rest-. He has 1/2 mile on one side, 350 ft* on the other. There are easements that were turned over for maintenance. The brush has been creeping in on the west side. When the utilities were put on line to Cones, they left a spot in the road. He put gravel in it, he did not ask the City. They had a good road. He has shoveled snow on the road. This work was recommended by Public Works staff. f. Loretta Breedeng 1602 Berabara, Kenai. She has lived there 28 years. She would like to leave the road as is. But if the City is going to do anythingg put in the whole things water & sewed paved streets. She does not went it9 but it would be better than ruining homes. This is a moral vs a legal problem. Hotta and Giffords would have a problem. DEC said they could not have class B & C wells. The ditches would be a problem with the wells. There are 9 property owners on the road, 6 people have signed the petition. The measure between property owners and what Is owned is close* The turnaround would ruin their propertyq so would widening the road. She asked that Barabars be taken off the list till they can form an assessment district. g• Ruby Coylet 1412 Garabare, Kenai. She distributed copies of the subdivision map with a turnaround from Kenai Peninsula Borough. She explained this was to be built by the City. The subdivision covers 4 lots, ono hso a triplex. The Borough subdivision ordinance says there hoe to be a turnaround before you can have a subdivision. .Beaver Loop Rd* was built in 19$2. The Coyles had their road surveyed at that ties. They, built.ths road with friend's help. it was a good gravel road when incorporated by the City* There was on ordinance in-1960 regarding width of roods.. The Coylcs wanted to keep the road private, but in order for people on the road to sello there had to be a dodioated street. There was a 60 ft, right of way on Its She asked that Council do something for people who have paid taxes for many years. They have never received anythingexcept small amounts of gravel for the road. Big ditches are not necessary. People M IT- r— KENAI CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 69 1966 Page 5 paying taxes that have not had any improvements deserve something with no assessments. They gave more then 100 ft. (more than 1/2) of the right of way. They have a bigger as then anyyone else. She asked if Cheater Cone's letter (dietributed this date) could be read Into the record. MOTION, Amendments Councilwoman Bailie moveds seconded by Councilman Measles, to amend the ordinance to delete Sarabara in the 3rd WHEREAS. VOTE, Amendment (Failed)$ Yost Bailie, Monfor Not Wagoner, Ackerly, Hall, Meeeles, Wise Councilwoman Monfor noted the residents asked to have this removed in 1985. Why is it back on? Public Works Director Kornelie explained, this was the study done by the street crews. It is part of a list of roads that have trouble with snow removal, 5 roads that do.not meet specs of gravel roads. It does have some drainage problem. The City has not hauled any grave! this year for this road because it was on the list. If it is taken off the list, they will haul gravel and do some maintenance. Councilwoman Bailie said when it was put on the list, people asked that it be taken off. A majority of the people have asked to leave the road alone* it is Council responsibility to listen to them. There are other people that need it more. Councilman Wise noted we have real problems on other roads. He did not know why it had to be improved to City standards. It could be modified and do part of it. It should be done in accordance with neighborhood standards, not City standards. Mrs. Coyle asked if Mr. Cone's letter could be read into the record. Mayor Wagoner replied, if anyone wants to read the letter, they can contact the Clerk. Councilman Hell suggested taking a look at bringing it part way down. Councilwoman Bailie suggested, since we are going to be short of funds, could the City crews do the work. Public Works Director Kornelie sold it is engineered, but they do not have the final drawingsThey can be adjusted. Administration had intended to wait till we got the State funds end then have public hearings to decide whet to do with the amount available. Councilmen Measles asked, how deep are the ditches and how much has the elevation been changed. Mr. Kornelie replied, the greatest change is 1 ft* lower in the road bed. The ditches are 1 ft. to 1-1/2 ft. MOTION, Tables Councilman Wise moved, seconded by Councilman Ackerly, to table the ordinance. VOTE, Table (Poseed)s Yost Wagoner, Ackerly, Hall# Measles, Monfor, Wise Not Beilis Councilmen Measles noted if we do part of the project it will have -to be re -engineered. Councilwoman Bailie said if 50% of the property owners went something, it is Council responsibility to go with it. Mayor Wagoner suggested directing Administration take another look at the project, and not go ahead as engineered. There may be an alternative. Councilman Hall noted the problem with the current projects is Council, not Administration. Council decided on an engineer against the advice of Administration. He suggested the engineer and Mr. Kornelie review the plans and give :.f .. • ' KENAI CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 69 1986 Page 6 Council input for modification from City engineer's standpoints not design engineer's viewpoint. Mr. Coyle said It was his understanding that Sit of the people that own property can atop a project. Does it work in reverse, can 51% stop it? They are not the majority. The majority of the property owners are Coylea and Cones. Mayor Wagoner explainedp they own the majority of the property, but are not the majority of property owners. Mr. Coyle requested a letter an that, the Supreme Court ruled out property owners for a vote. Mayor Magoner replied, we are not talking about a bond votes this is a petition in front of Council. He declined the request for a letter. He added, 6 of the property owners sent the petition. Mrs. Coyle noted the Cones and Coylea were not asked to sign the petition. Mayor Wagoner ruled the statement out of orders that is not the issue at this time. Mrs. Coyle requested the Charter be checked on what is included on how people are counted on improvements. Loretta Breeden asked, what has C.euncil decided to do? Mayor Wagoner replieds table till they know something definite from Juneau. Mrs. Breeden requested Council decide this date which project will go lot. Mayor Wagoner explained, there are other roads on the list to consider. These people are not aware that it was to be changed. Mr. Gifford stated the Cones were asked to sign the petition. He did not ask the Coyles because he knew their position. C-4 Ord. 1158-86 - Amending Zoning Map - Baron Pk. S/D NOT ION t Councilman Wise moved, seconded by Councilwoman Monfort to adopt the ordinance. There wee no public comment. Mayor Wagoner suggested before we start zoning or re -zoning we should look at the entire piece and do game planning. That will be the down town area of the City. Councilman Wise said we are not doing this as we should but we do not have the full airport master plan. We have a lease request for lot 1, it needs to be re -zoned so it can move. It will not create much damage, there are no commitments on it. There are 3 ways to modify, Comprehensive Plan, Airport Master Plan and re -zoning action. Councilman Hall asked to abstains as he was a party to the requested re -tone. VOTE (Passed)$ Yost .Aokerlyt Bailie, Measles, Monfort Wise Not Wagoner Councilman Hall abstained.

Councilman Wise said on June 18 a motion was made to proceed with a slow take. Has that been filed? City Manager Brighton repliedg not at the work sessiod succeeding that, Council requested it be brought back. Councilmen Wise said it was voted to do a slow take and it was not initiated. At the work session it was not started. The only issue is if we should go from a slow take to a quick take. A preliminary cannot be filed unless we have title. He would like to go from a slow take to a quick take. City Manager Brighton bxplainedg there was a motion to proceed with a slow take and subsequent to that Council asked for resolutions for both slow and quick take. Mayor Wagoner sold Council was told they could change to a quick take after they started with a slow take. Councilman Wise said Council direction has not been taken. The City is in an economic bind. This will enhance the economic climate of the ares. It will not affect the General Fund, it uses Federal funds. We have $1/2 Million In State funds that have been authorised for this, We hove FAA money for acquisition of land. We have airport moneys that can only be used for the airport. We are contributing $1-1/2 Million for the Flight Service Station.

Motion passed by unanimous consent. C-10 Res. 86-77 - Awarding Spur Triangle Park Public Works Director Kornelie explained, there is no completed resolution, this is Council decision. Councilwoman Nonfat noted when this was proposed, we were going to have $509000, She thought that was a lot of money. She suggested we take it from the airport triangle. She had a problem with 2 parks. She did not anticipate $172,000. Mayor Wagoner noted Mr. Kluge is not proposing the whole project. Councilwomen Monfor said this was to be a etartsr for it, and it would be volunteer work. We did not want to set up the whole park. She is against phases. Councilwoman Sallie said when it was discussed and the money was proposed, they were hoping to start, but not complete till Spring. Their main thought this year was they went it to be done well, a credit to people placing memorials as well as the community. Mr. Keeprisin estimated $500,000. $172#000 is more then ohs anticipated. They wanted grass, a gazebo, walkways, placing of trees. It would be a plan that could be used in the whole city eventually. The Committee will be having a meeting Aug. 7. She did not have a problem with $509000. The airport project will be a maximum of $20#000 plus volunteers. The landscape effort in recent years has more comments then anything else we have done. It will have a large impact on people entering the City. Councilwoman Nonfat asked, did we ask for this? The Committee ban not met yet, we have no objectives yet. Councilwoman Bailie replied she is responsible for this. She asked Public Works Director Kornelie for a proposal. She hoped to most with C. Gintoli and W. Kluge but the meeting wee cancelled. They did not went to relocate the utilities, just meek them. Councilwoman Mentor suggested postponing action till the Committee reviews the proposals. Council agreed to the suggestion. Mayor Wagoner said he did not make the committee appointments. Councilwoman Sallie replied they were approved at the 3uly 16 Meeting. Mayor Wagoner noted it was discussed, but he did not appoint the Committee. Councilwoman Baiiie:said she to not sure a committee Is = neoeseary. Beautification Committee will be handling it. Mayor Wagoner he was under the impression there would be a whole new committee: Counollwomon Bailie replied} they would. just beinvolved. Mayor Wagoner said ha had a problem with the •cope. It may take many dollars to complete this. Counall,hos amid the idea is fine. Now we need an approach by the 'Committee tostay Nith the 009000. He did not went to *pond -more. Councilwoman Sail#e agreed. They can get It designed and get some work done this year, it could be taken on by the beautification effort of the City* She would hate to see it postponed. She suggested the Committee KENAI CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 69 1966 Page 9 most with the 2 architects. Mayor Wagoner suggested requesting another proposals that says the City will pay e maximum of S50l000 - a certain amount to design and a certain amount to construct. Councilwoman Bailie said there would be a meeting of the Committee on Aug. 7. She asked if the 2 architects could be at the meeting and they will come back at the Aug. 20 meeting with a report.

CAI Res. 86-78 - Tranef. of Funds - Cook Inlet View/Lilac - $26,956 MOTION= Councilman Wise moved, seconded by Councilwoman Monfort to adopt the resolution. There was no public comment. Public Works Director Kornelis explained, they had planned to tie the man holes and catch basins on Lilac into the man holes. They got an easement and changed to go between 2 lots that required an extra man hole and depth. There are 11 sanitary sewer connections on Lilac that were not on the plans. Since we are paving$ we went the services in. This is a reasonable price. There are 1-1/2 in. water Linea to Cook Inlet View. It looks like 4-plexes and 6-plexes are the trend, then this is too small. Councilman Wise said he did not agree with putting them to the lot. We charged other people when we up -graded. Mr. Kornelis replied, they felt that instead of having a contractor or developer dig up pavement, we would be better off to put it in. Councilman Wise asked if he intended to lien the property. Mr. Kornelis replied, we can. He added, these items have been done. Their policy is to put in services when we pave. The last item is pipe insulation. We were within 1 ft. of the water line, this was to prevent freezing of the water line. Motion passed by unanimous consent. C-12 Change Order 01 - Doyle Const. - Cook Inlet View/Lilac - $261,956 MOTION$ Councilmen Measles moved$ seconded by Councilwoman Monfort to approve the change order.

These proposals came up at a Board meeting. Kenai does not have much to offer visitors. The Chamber would like to most with Council in a work session. Cunningham Pke is an a- excellent boat launch facility* it could be paved and.;.4 be accessible to people in the community but close t: enough to town to buy things in the City. This and the ,• view area could be done at e,low cost, it could have a user fee. More and more people are using the Kenai R. bridge area for picture taking, fishing, etc. In prior meetings with the Federal govt., negotiations fora land exchange have been at a standstill. The Chamber - - has blueprints Prom Potter Flats Fish & wildlife can - ' y.: T R, provide personnel. Q} be Fred Braun, business at 405 Overland, Kenai. Tourists come into his store and to the Chamber. They relate Lee Anderson's fish to the Kenai R. and Kenai. They went to launch a boat. we have to send them to Soldotna. It Is not that for to the good fishing rounds. The view station is workable. There is not that much for visitors in Kenai to do. Councilman wise 47 noted Cunningham Pk, is closed to boat launching. There is no place to park there. The area around the 1 bridge is State land. Mayor wagoner suggested the - wooded knoll at the upper part of the bridge would make a good camp ground. Councilwoman Nonfat noted there Is a barabsre there. Mr. Braun said the Old Town -� Committee will have a list of proposals for Council. He added, he was glad the Triangle Pk* resolution was _ postponed, and the east end park. Scattered little parks would be good. He suggested not spending $172,000 on those parka, but on small parks. Councilwoman Bailie said we need to start spending energies on promoting tourist facilities- Mr. Nelson had a proposal for a fuel facility with a boat launch. as Ruby Coyle, Kenai.

Mr. Kornelis replied, the material has been available since 3une 27. b. Bill Zubeck, Zubeck Inc.p Kenai. He asked how the City was going to handle this in the future? City Manager Brighton explained, it has not been decided. Councilman Ackerly asked Mr. Zubeck if he had problems with the way it is being handled now. Mr. Zubeck replied) he thought the City should use the Anchorage method. as Marko Zursk, Doyle Const., Kenai. He just received the packet this date. It hoe a retainage schedule from Ass 4orie=ateAagetee, He had no problem with holding retainage, but It is being used as a club. He would like a copy of the letter he wrote dated July 7 regarding break down of how retainage is estimated to pay the subcontractors. He would like a reply. Alaska Statutes should be included. He suggested a work session to talk this over. Mr. Kornelie explained, 4."- 1..ouJ►sle,�a. 'AngeAse schedule was put in because he wee told retainage was not done in the Lower 48. There are b options suggested. He recommended 02. He noted the contractor is told up front how it is done. He reviewed the options. 02 is for roads, based on 1960 Anchorage epece. We keep 10% till substantially complete. When we can use it, we reduce It to 2%. In 1985 Anchorage changed their space, we have not changed ours yet. They option 05. 10% is yee retained till it is SOl� comsletee then 2!i of the total 1;1'TCe Kenai Borough :40X)AAuses s cep or ey comp emxon. option 06. For buildings, we keep 102 till substantial completions then to 2% till 100% complete. Bill Zubeck. There are no building contractors here, he is interested in roads, water it sewer. Mr. Kornelis explainedq Mr. Woodard wanted to know. Mr. Zubeck said Mr. Woodard could not come this date. He added he did not remember reducing to 2% on any of his jobs he's done since 1979. He would like to follow Anchorage's space. Mr. Kornelis replied he felt the City had better protection with 02. Katherine Thomas. When a contractor bide a project, he has to put up payment performance Lund that guarantees to the bonding company he will do the work. If he fails, they will coMplets the job, pay the bills, then come to him. The City pays for that, plus interests costs to do the project, and what it will cost the contractor while he is out his money. Some municipalities will reduce the retainage if it is done well. Municip:.lities that charge morel pay more. The cities are holding the contractor's overhead and profit. Healthy contractors are important to a healthy economy. They are 2 weeks behind in payments, the City has 101 of their money. Councilwoman Bailie @eked if Me. Thomas had reviewed the material. Ms. Thom@@ replied, somewhat. She is in favor of option 0S. This is more beneficial to the Industry and fair to the municipalities. 2% for 90 days after completion is better then 108. They could ask the City to forego the 90 days. d. Steve faster Box 303, Soldotne. He is a subcontractor. He he* been in the situation where the retainage 16 kept at fOK till the end of the job. His 10% was kept also and come at the and of the project. They were delays other then his own, his portion was satisfactory. HP could not get paid. With this plan ,.; the subcontractor could receive full payment for the -- let SOX of the job. The 2% for 90 days after Is overkill, the bonding is adequate. Mr. Karnali* noted If KENAI CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 69 1966 Page 12 the City presently has liens on projects we did not know about. Without retainage those subcontractors and the City would have no protection. 2% may not cover liens. Councilman Ackerly noted we have bonds. Mr. Kornelie repliedt that is the lest resort and may take years. Marko Zurek. The bonding company will shake up a contractor better then retainage. There is a current Alaska law as to interest on retainage. This does not give them the right to waive percentage. The State does not have retainage. MOTION: Councilman Ackerly moved, seconded by Councilwoman Bailie, to adopt option 0. Councilman Ackerly addedt for future bidding# including roade, water & sewer. Motion passed by unanimous consent. Council agreed to not use this on the airport bid that is out at this time.

MOTIONS L Councilman Wise movedv seconded by Councilwoman Bailiet that t: Administration be directed to restore Strawberry Rd. and ;. Kenaitze Ct, to essentially the original grade as requested 4. by the residents. sp .. PUBLIC COMMENT: 9. Bill Mendenhall# OceenTechp Soldotne. If the road is lowered to original grade, it will not meet Federal standards for eight distance. That is the reason for r the grade. Mayor Wagoner questioned if the City has to comply with Federal standards without Federal dollars. Public Works Director Kornelie replied he did not know. Mr. Mendenhall stated the City could not find a design firm that would go around that. Mr. Kornelie explained the State also has regulations regarding speed limits. Based on speedo you would have to meet design standards. Councilman Ackerly suggested leveling the hill if that is the probleM. Mr. Mendenhall explainedp you cannot, without acquiring right of way or a narrower road= but that would not be City standards. Councilman Wise asksd y had asked the people for additional right of way. Mayor Wagoner asked why the radical change, the subdivision has been in existence for 1$ years. Mr. Kornelis repliedp we were not meeting Federal requirements from.. the beginning. Mayor Wagoner said the people in.the subdivision want the road to the way it was. ^; Councilman Measles noted it is ridiculous to be concerned about a dead end street that is 1/2 Mile long. Mr. Kornelie explainedg he asked the engineers for alternatives and won given 6. He planned a meeting with the residents, one attended. Councilman Ackerly suggested a dry well at the beginning of the road# rM i. _ L.— KENAI CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 69 1906 Page 13 another at Heus' would do the job. The only problem they have had 14 water in the road during break-up. Mr. Kornelie explained# when the culvert was put in, the road was raised to cover it. He had suggested going back 29 ft. and re -paving that portion. We would fill in and re -seed. The lawn at the houses is not much different then the road. Then we could keep the culverts. The hill was raised 6 in* and moved closer to Salo's. City Manager Brighton askeds they are to haul gravel out put in 2 dry wells and take the sand out? Mr. Kornelie asked if they included S. Strawberry also. We would have to make the road narrow at Salo's and do some paving at S. Strawberry. Councilman Ackerly suggested obtaining another engineering firm. City Manager Brighton suggested using the City engineer. Mr. Kornelie noted we have $13 Million worth of work they are trying to get on top of. He could. work with City crews and a dozer. The residents of the area objected. b. Kathy Heust 4540 Kenaitze Ct.p Kenai. Her concern lap the driveway is not adequate. The road does not fall In with the lay of the land. The land is not swamp, it does not have to be filled in. Most driveways tend to go down to the street rather then the property going up to the street. c. Cliff Heusp 4540 Kenaitze Ct.# Kenai. They had a small drainage problem. They questioned it when the road was built up so high. Mr. Kornelie explained the Federal standards to him. If it were lowers it would look better. The grass on the back elope is still there. Also, the hill has to be out down. We should look at getting more right of way on either side. He asked that the engineers work with the owners. Councilman Ackerly asked to abstain from voting as he is one of the owners. Motion passed by unanimous consent, with Councilman Ackerly abstaining. Mayor Wagoner asked if the engineer would be in-house or contract. Councilwoman Mentor asked if it had to be to -engineered. Mayor Wagoner repliedp there will be changes in the slopes. r. Kornelie added we will need bid specs and would have to re -bid. Councilman Wise suggested the owners nominate the engineering firm. Council did not agree. Mayor Wagoner asked that Administration select the engineer and recommend it at the Aug. 20 meeting. Mr. Kornelie noted there is an approach an Spur* Doyle will complete this paving. G.
