PUBLIC HEARINGS :. C-1 Res. 86-91 - Federal Express - Lease Space in Airport Terminal - MOTION: _ Councilman Ackerly moved, seconded by Councilwoman Bailie, to adopt the resolution. PUBLIC COMMENTS a. Brian Bell, Federal Express, Anchorage. They are a local carrier, they plan to bring in aircraft,, .. _.::. .... .:... . :.: in the future, they will have local hire. .... b. Dan Pitts, 403 N. Willow, Kenai. Current policy as established when the terminal was renovated was to = have all air freight off -terminal. it was established by the Airport Manager with concurrence of Council. 2 months ago Council he voted unanimously to uphold the policy. When _ leased space from the City he was given consent and good faith of Council to build a freight directly of the__:..:=: terminal. He owns one north terminal. He designed it to look like the airport to fit in with the general architecture of the area. Had he known he would have to compete with businesses in the terminal he would not have built and would not have gotten bank money. This will set a negative precedent and discourage others from developing airport projects. City Manager Brighton replied, the statement that it was the freight in the �• policy of Council to have all not a = = terminal is not true. It was specified at :: 4;. _._ � _•-, , certain weight and size in the terminal. c. Judy Ruppler(?) Bowpicker, Kenai. She was is was ... e opposed to the resolution. it not what originally planned. It is not fair to the other businesses. Councilman Wise noted the resolution only addressee "x " Federal Express. Are we going to have all in the terminal or all out? Council action to bar freight from the terminal was deliberate. Not all categories 'IL =i _ KENAI CITY COUNCIL t 6 OCTOBER 15, 1966 a - PAGE 3 were barred. We do not want freight in the terminal. Federal Express will be flying in but he did not want t freight planes in front of the terminal. They belong _' with the freight planes. Councilwoman Monfor noted we have air express services to Anchorage. We have to be consistent. Councilman Ackerly said he supports Federal Express coming into Kenai, it will mean $10,000 per year. They have agreed to every requirement, they f. are willing to vacate if needed. The reason the the ones resolution was written this way is they are that asked. Every other airline is carrying freight, they are willing to limit the size to our desires. _� ._... Mayor Williams noted there is room for them in the airport. Regarding freight planes in front of the terminal, it is the function of the Airport Manager to �' • ' �_t __� control traffic. Regarding weight and size, there is a considerable amount of freight moving through the terminal. That could be construed as freight but terms called baggage. VOTE (Failed)s Yess Ackerly, McComsey, Williams No: Bailie, Monfor, Wise MOTION, Reconsiderations Councilwoman Monfor moved, seconded by Councilman Ackerly, to reconsider the resolution. VOTE, Reconsideration (passed): Yes: Ackerly, McComsey, Mcnfor, Williams :. No: Bailie, Wise Councilwoman Monfor explained she did not like the way �- the resolution was written. It gives priority to Federal Express. It should be re -written to include the other freight carriers. Federal Express has agreed to what we want. Councilwoman Bailie said she hoped ----- :.. Federal Express comes to the City, but a previous Council made the policy that freight will not be handled in the terminal. it is being done now and should not be, we should take care of that. If we have more spaces, there may be more come in. it will be a - —�--- �= 31 difficult task to monitor this. P MOTION, Table: Councilwoman Monfor moved, seconded by Councilman Wise, to table the resolution to re -write to not discriminate. T. L. VOTE, Table (Failed) Yes: Monfor, Wise No: Ackerly, Bailie, McComsey, Williams Councilwoman Bailie asked how it should be re -written. ;::.;,- ;; •_, : ; - -. We will have to do this for all the freight going through the terminal. Councilwoman Monfor explained* -:';fit; i'::�° this .shows favoritism for Federal Express. { - there was.a letter saying OHL came to the City and asked fox -this and were refused We would be di!�rital.nati►q against them. Councilman Wine suggested the. resolution be written as policy, without a name.'- . . _.. He also suggested the violations be -stopped. City ��anagit. Srighton said one of the major objections is ,-._.. regarding discrimination. We could advertise for proposals and and get bids. That would eliminate -_ discrimination and occupy the vacant spaces. Councilman Ackorly asked what tie postal regulations ° are. Airport Nana or Ernst replied, policy was } established in 1982 by memo. The postal system = r""" +' KENAI CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 15, 1986 PAGE 4 requires 70 lbs, 100 in. length and girth. Federal Express would be handling the same as SouthCentral and ERA do now. Councilman Ackerly said we should follow the regulations, we do not need a resolution. They asked for space, we should lease to them. Brian Bell, Federal Express. There is some concern regarding DHL and Airborne. He asked why the concern, there never was before. They are a 121 carrier, the 7th or 8th largest in the State. That is why they want to be in the terminal. They are a professional airline. They would be the only one here. it would be gm.all package express - overnight letters. Carmen eintoli, 117 Deepwood Ct., Kenai. He was architect on the terminal remodeling. In 1980-82 when it was designed, the pre -requisite was expertise with airports. it cost $25,000 for the expert who advised, and Council agreed, to have passenger airlines. Federal Express does not have passenger airlines. It was always intended for that. We bought additional space so we could let large airlines come in. Mayor Williams noted in the development contract the wording could limit weight and size of packages. Administration could enter into a contract with Federal Express. They will vacate if required. It is additional business to the City and will bring in revenue. Councilman Wise asked if Federal Express will not service the City unless they are in the terminal. He noted the terminal was built by the City with State money. it should not be competing with small business. Councilwoman Bailie said if Administration leased to Federal Express after defeat of the resolution, that would disturb her because it is not the policy of Council. VOTE, Resolution (Failed): Yes: Ackerly, Williams No: Bailie, McComsey, Monfort Wise C-2 Res. 86-92 - Awarding Contract - Float Plane Facility, Engineering Design - W. Nelson - $51,700 MOTION: Councilman Ackerly moved, seconded by Councilwoman Bailie, to adopt the resolution. PUBLIC COMMENT: a. b. Ruby Coyle, 1412 Barabara, Kenai. She is in favor of a float plane basin. When the new airport terminal was built, H. Oalliett prepared plans for a float plane basin but it was put on hold till the City got out of the red. With the loss of sales tax in the City, we need to encourage every type of business we can. Small planes with wheels, floats or skis will use the Kenai airport as home base. That increases City revenue. Any time we deny service to anyone, we lose money. This -is hunting and fishing country. We should do anything we can to encourage tourists. Loretta Breeden. 1602 garabara, Kenai. The float plane basin has always been in the plans for Kenai, it is wanted•and needed. The airport is' one of the major things Kenai has. She noted Councilwoman Monfor. and Mayor Williams objected to this. She suggested Councilwoman Monfor may have a conflict of interest with the float plane basin. Some of the lands taken out were for Native allotment. She suggested anyone with a conflict should so state. If ADAP funds are not used, how U. :' .ells • I • k�_ KENAI CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 15, 1966 PAGE 5 else would they be used? Has money been used from the Airport funds in the past for roads,lwater & sewer with no assessment districts while others are now faced with assessment districts? Many times when a government wants to defeat a project they make it too expensive. we could have an adequate facility without this much money. She would suggest and hope for a float plane basin for tourism, taxes, etc. There is a waiting list in Anchorage for float plane spaces. Councilman Wise replied, as to where the funds are coming from. There is a federal program with 4 years accumulated funds. Over $400,000 each year, over $1 Million total. There is $300,000 additional moneys. Between State and Federal moneys, there is over $2 Million. we have committed 1982 funds so we would not lose them. They are restricted to airport funds. Mrs. Breeden asked, within CIIAP and other airport lands, are airport funds going for water, sewer and roads without assessment districts? Councilwoman Monfor explained, if she has a conflict of interest, she does not know of it. The lands with a quit claim are private property. If she had a conflict of interest she would bring it to Council's attention. The reason she is against it is because the cast is $3 Million to $4 Million. Renovation of the airport will be done when FSS moves out. we are not going to get Federal moneys in the future. Mayor Williams said regarding conflict of interest. These questions will be answered by the Attorney. c. Waldo Coyle, Barabara Dr., Kenai. He suggested the City look carefully at the float plane basin. Alaska was settled in the Bush by float planes or on ice. It is an asset to the country. We keep t::ying to chase people out instead of bringing them in., You cannot use the funds for anything else but the airport. The City turned down. a chance for Federal Express to come into the City. It takes 5 days to get a letter from Hawaii. It is the same time for any City in the State. For overnight service, if you discourage them, will the City make up the difference tin time)? The airport is only 1/2 full, the City should get someone in there. d. Phil Ames, Beaver Creek, Kenai. He was in Anchorage when the canal was built between Lake Hood and Lake Spenard. There were 6 float planes there then. What will this bring here? What has it done for Anchorage? if it was 2 times the size, there would be 2 times as many planes. We are Just a few miles from 80% of the float planes in the United States. He does not agree with the statement that because there are no float planes now, there will not bs any. He has been in Anchorage, Fairbanks and Homer - the 3 most successful airports in the State. it is because there is a land facility adjacent to a float plane basin. He has never operated in Kenai because he cannot rent tie -down space. He kept his plane in Soldotna, now it is in Nikiski. If he could get a tie -down space in Kenaihe would, and buy his gas i at the airport. There s an advantage in having a float plane basin within walking distance of down town. History will disprove any arguments against this. You can subtract $5 Million from this figure and have a good float plane basin. e. Jim Carter, Box 212, Kenai. He has 40 years experience in aviation in Alaska. He has never seen any projects that have gone by the wayside. {j .o r • +' KENAI CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 15, 1966 PAGE 6 Regarding costs, it would be a worthwhile effort to pass this resolution and find out the cost. as Dan Pitts, 403 N. Willow, Kenai. He supported the resolution. We don't know the cost till we talk to engineers. We noel tourism to broaden our economic base. People come to Alaska to hunt and fish. Float planes are the only way that is done. Every major airport has one. Councilman Ackerly said Council would welcome suggestions as to how we can lower the cost. Councilman Wise said if this went in, it would be an instrument facility. in the interest of safety, we need to provide a facility for the public. Councilwoman Bailie noted the money is available for the study. we would be foolish not to use it. FAA requires visibility for all at water level, we could ask for it to 5 ft. above. Councilman Ackerly suggested if they cannot see the float plane basin, we could add to the tower or move it. Mayor Williams said during the election, the majority of the people he spoke to were against the float plane basin. Some reasons were financing and costs in the future. He asked Finance Director Brown to identify the total available funds and source of funds. Mr. Brown reviewed his memo of Augusts AIP funds - $1.5 Million State funds - $ .5 Million Airport funds - $2 Million Total - $4 Million Mayor Williams asked, of the $4 Million available, are there any expenditures anticipated for upkeep of the existing airport? Airport Manager Ernst replied, the taxiways are the original ones, we will need an overlay in the next 5 years, On the main runway, 5,200 ft. of lights are not in blast pavement. It is critical if we accommodate large aircraft. The tower has said they would like to have extended taxiway from "Charlie" north to the end of the runway. Mayor Williams asked for a rundown on what the contract with Er..gr. Nelson will entail. Bill Nelson, Fidalgo St., Kenai. The proposal has detailed cost estimate of preliminary and final. Water & sewer were proposed for the adjacent area and development of the lots as turnkey ready to operate as a float plane basin. Public Works Director Kornelis noted a copy of the engineering proposal was given to Council. Mayor Williams said he was opposed to the float plane basin for economic reasons and for the noise factor. But he would like to have actual costs so the public will know regarding maintenance, noise, etc. VOTES Motion passed by unanimous consent.

There was no public comment - Councilwoman Bailie asked if there was a need for 2 tractors. Public Works Director Kornelis replied, there is a difference. Councilman Ackerly noted this has a new radio with the equipment. What happens to the old radios? City Manager Brighton explained, this is additional equipment, we cannot put any equipment out without radios. All are in use. Councilman Wise asked if we are retiring anything. Mr. Kornelis replied, we will retire the old snow blower attachment to the ,1966." Councilman Wise said we have too much equipment now, 4 vehicles per employee. Councilwoman Monfor asked if this was from Federal Revenue Sharing. Answer - yes. Mayor Williams noted there was only one bidder. As sole source.company we can negotiate. He added this is a foreign made vehicle, are there any Amer;oan made tractors available? Mr. Kornelis repliedf he went to all equipment. dealer$ and evaluated. He felt this met the needs best. A replacement of a blower is needed. They did bid, it was not negotiated. This war a demonstrator, the City did not have the funds for that one, he worked out an agreement with the dealer that.he would pay less and they would not paint it. It is not required that it be American. He advertised 4 bids and only got 2. • n �- '. •�' KENAI CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 150 1986 PAGE 8 VOTE (Passed): Yes: Ackerly, Bailie, McComsey, Monfor, Williams Not Wise C-8 Res. 86-98 - Award Bid - Tractor - H.

Carpet - Rutherford - $8,800 MOTION: Councilman Ackerly moved, seconded by Councilwoman Bailie, to adopt the resolution. There was no public comment. Councilman Ackerly expressed appreciation to Legal Asst. Sutcliffe for his opinion. Councilman Wise said he had a concern about the disqualified bid. It would appear requirements for Borough tax number registration was to identify that the business was in the City. We are tax exempt. They made a mistake in saying it was pending when it was not. If they are not legal in the Borough we can refuse but they do not need a sales tax number if they do business with the Clay. 'Councilman Ackerly said a contract is binding. 'it was in the bid specs.

There was no public comment. motion passed by unanimous consent- D. MINUTES D-1 Regular Meeting, Oct. 1, 2966 Mayor Williams asked Clerk Whelan to check on the name of the person writing a letter to the Clarion as stated on page 6. Minutes approved with pending correction- r— KENAI CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 15, 1986 PAGE 9 E. CORRESPONDENCE E-1 City of Homer - Natural Gas Pipeline Site Councilwoman Bailie suggested we should do everything possible to get the pipeline in this area. The cities in the Peninsula should work together. Councilman Ackerly suggested we should keep in touch with the pipeline builders and say they are welcome to speak to us. Mayor Williams noted he had a meeting with Homer Mayor Calhoun. He suggested Administration respond, acknowledge receipt of the letter, express the feelings of the City regarding the pipeline, and we will keep in contact. Council agreed to the suggestion. F. OLD BUSINESS F-1 Classification Study Councilwoman Bailie noted she is a member of the committee. There was a unanimous decision that we did not agree with the ultimate decision of J. Jaron. The other decisions were from the majority. a) The job description alone is worth the money. She recommended adoption. b)The Fire Chief should have increased education requirements. a) Increasing the range of Librarian and Senior Citizen Coordinator from 14 to 17. The original reason for the study was for these 2 individuals. The primary recommendation of J. Jaron was to raise these. in a lower economy we have increased needs for social services such as Library, Senior Center, Recreation Center. The number of employees at Kenai vs other cities: Kenai has 77 full time, others have 200 - some with less service. The Library and Senior Center have volunteers that save the City a lot of money. It would only be $1,200 increase per year. d) We should not throw out the baby with the bath water. The ultimate decision was not prudent. We did not agree with the factor evaluation. She talked with Unalaska, their classification plan was exactly the same as ours. They feel the plan is easy to implement. She would like to see, instead of totally disregarding it, that we investigate further and utilize what we can. We have no method of classification, up -grading of training, or job description for new employees at this time. Regarding J. Jaron, she was Chief Classification Consultant with the State, they feel it was the best they ever had. She has been a budget analyst in Seattle. She was Personnel Manager for over 7,000 people at F. Meyer. She asked Administration to review and report back by the next budget session. MOTION: Councilwoman Bailie moved, seconded by Councilman Wise, to accept the job description raise Librarian and senior Citizen Coordinator to range 17 and ask the bulk of the classification study be reviewed by Administration and a report be given at budget time. Councilman Ackeriy said he would rather defer to Nov. S meeting. With 2 new additional members they should review first. Councilwoman Bailie noted the study has been available. we have had a couple of work sessions. She is asking for a more detailed study, but the Librarian and senior Citizen Coordinator are long overdue. Councilwoman Monfor noted this will be a long range plan. Councilman Wise requested dividing the questions 1) study acceptance 2) Job description acceptance 2) Approve 2 job up -grades. Council agreed to the request. 4 = - - -:a o s•KENAI CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 15, 1986 PAGE 10 MOTIONS Councilman Wise moved, seconded by Councilwoman Monfor, to accept the study as paid for. Notion passed by unanimous consent. MOTIONS Councilman Wise moved, seconded by Councilwoman Monfor, to accept the job description. Councilman Wise said he has not had a chance to review this. He added, the study was based on a stereotype used for many years. The delineation is on 3 divisions, it is sexist. Councilwoman Monfor suggested we could accept now and re -write if needed. Mayor Williams said the range increase requests will have long reaching effects, he would like to discuss this at the Nov. 5 meeting. MOTION, Table: Councilman Ackerly moved to table the motion. Motion failed for lack of a second. MOTION: Councilwoman Bailie moved, seconded by Councilwoman Monfor, that the Senior Citizen Coordinator and Librarian be increased to a range 17. Motion passed by unanimous consent. Legal Asst. Sutcliffe explained, this will have to be by ordinance. MOTION, Amendment: Councilwoman Bailie moved, seconded by Councilman Wise, to have Administration prepare an ordinance to change Librarian and senior Citizen Coordinator from range 14 to range 17. Motion passed by unanimous consent. Councilwoman Bailie said regarding the classification study. She asked that this be reviewed further. The committee has suggested we fail to adopt this. She would urge Council look into it further and try to adopt the plan. The plan is working in Unalaska. There are only 1,900 people in Unalaska, but size should not make that much difference. Anchorage adopted Kenai's sign code. Why re -invent the wheal if we don't have to? MOTION: Councilwoman Bailie moved, seconded by Councilman wise, to study the classification further. Motion passed by unanimous consent. ADDITIONAL ITEMS Councilwoman Monfor distributed evaluation sheets from the school district. She asked that these be redone for City Manager, Attorney, City Clerk and Council. They should know how they are doing, she would like to adapt this for Kenai. Mayor Williams noted we have an evaluation of Council by the voters. Mayor Williams sr-;gested it be brought back to the Nov. 5 meeting for Council to review. City Manager Brighton suggested 1 aKENAI CITY COUNCIL, oCTOBER 15, 1986 PAGE 11 Council should review first and give to Administration. Mayor Williams suggested the forms be at the Oct. 29 work session. Council agreed to the suggestion. F-3 Easements - Boat Facility City Manager Brighton explained there is an easement problem with electric wiring to the duck facility. The cheapest lease is $2,000. He recommended Council accept at $50,0000 $4,000 for the gate. It is still cheaper than the 2nd route. If Council approves HEA can install immediately. MOTION: Councilman Ackerly moved, seconded by Councilwoman Bailie, to accept the proposed route C in the amount not -to -exceed $55,000 as outlined by City Manager Brighton. Motion passed by unanimous consent. Councilman Wise asked if this is funded in the project. Answer - yes. Mayor Williams added it is funded by a State grant. F-4 Airport Master Plan Airport Manager Ernst reviewed, in 1985 the bid was awarded to ATC for the Master Plan. It will be complete by Nov. 30. All have the float plane basin as mentioned. The basic difference from the 1979 plan is moving GAA from the east side to the west side and incorporating it into the airport. #1 has the light aircraft runway between the runway and the taxi runway. M2 has the grass strip in a different location, Dividing up of lands and use will stay the same. N1 - airport terminal parking (itinerant, commuter, vehicle) will expand to Granite Pt. #2 - additional parking will be across the street. The cargo facility would be in the same Pirea and extend to Tower Way. The FAA tower and future crash truck would be the same. N2 - the fuel farm would be moved. Future development of airport land is the same. Councilman Wise had suggested the far north could be tie -down area with access on Marathon. Having tie -down in front of the last lots was rejected, or they could bring aircraft to their own lots. Q4 - an extension of the main runway 3,000 ft. to 10,500 ft. it would accommodate heavier aircraft. we may have to have additional, fuel storage. The itinerant helicopter parking is a dead sons, you cannot park large aircraft there, it would be ideal. Councilman Wise had suggested a perimeter road inside the area. Most airports have this. He recommended N1, incorporating the other plans. MOTION: Councilman Wise moved, seconded by Councilman Ackerlys, to approve the outline as. recommended by Airport Manager Ernst, Mr. Ernst noted this is concept only and can be Changed. Councilman Wise added this should be eflactive through 2010. Motion passed by unanimous consent. G. NEW BUSINESS s G-1 Hills to be Paid, Bills to be Ratified r ,J' •i �Li' • .rKENAI CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 15, 1986 PAGE 12 MOTION: Councilman Ackerly moved, seconded by Councilwoman Bailie, to approve the bills as submitted. Motion passed by unanimous consent. 0-2 Requisitions Exceeding $1000 City Manager Brighton explained, the $50,000 addition to REA was discussed, also the 82,000 easement. The 82,000 is on 2 properties involved, 81,600 for sewer rock. The roads have washed out. Public Works Director Kornelis added, this is for stabilizing and road protection on replacement culverts.
