9. PERSONS PRESENT SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD
8-1 Steve Turlis - Fred Meyer
Steve Turlis, Real Estate Resources Inc., Box 1376, Tacoma,
WA. He was here to answer questions from the public
"
regarding the application to lease City owned lands in the
airport vicinity. It is the intention of Fred Meyer to
lease 2 parcels. They have proposed to initiate
`y
improvements over 3 tc 4 phases. This will be the City's
— -
first one -stop shopping center, it will be 120v000 sq. ft.
It will be patterned after the Juneau store that opened last
_
July. It will have a grocogy store. They are now a private
'
company, they were public in 1979, but went back to private.
They would rank 14th or 15th among the Nation's large
retailers. They prefer to awn their shopping centers, they
have 90 in 7 statea, they own 75% of the centers. They are
not in the land speculation busincos, they will be able to
°
build without mortgage money. They build 3 new ones per
year with cash flow and cash reserves. Construction would
start next year and it would open in 1987. They have
statistical reports for 3 years in the Peninsula. Kenai
has better merchandise and availability than Juneau, they
still feel there is leakage in sales. People drive to
Anchorage or go to Seattle because of lack of selection.
i`
They estimate the first year, conservatively speaking,
y
$30 Million to $35 Million. It would take a year to
construct. The subcontractors have to be from the local
area. Capital investment excluding land will be
$8-1/2 Million in the building. Construction will
contribute to the local economy. There will be 130 full
time employees, 40-50 seasonal. The only management team
-
brought in would be 3 people. They wiJI go beyond minimum
requirement to make it desirable. He asked the public not
to compare this with Anchorage, that was an acquired
r
Volu-Mart. The 2nd store in Anchorage will be good. This

"ill be like the Juneau store, but none are exactly alike.
They will be open 9sOO AM to 1OsO0 PM, 7 days a week.
Vice Mayor Measles said the lease application will have to
go to P&Z. Mr. Turlis added, there will an area for local
retailers.
8-2 Dave Brown - Section 36
Mr. Brown asked Council to consider real estate commission
on sale of Section 36. It will benefit the City if a
realtor is involved, it will be quicker. The City will
realize taxes available quicker. 5% is not high, the
appraisal is over -appraised. Mr. Warfle has said the price
per acre increases as the number of acres decreases. Since
the City is selling all as one, the City is receiving over
appraisal value. Atty. Rogers said Council cannot do it. If
they re -bid there will not be a preference, they cannot do
it under the existing document. Council would be making a
serious error to ask for additional moneys after the fact,
not from the sale, but from City coffers. Mr. Brown
explained, the reason he brought it up was because it was
not mentioned in the October sales document regarding
commission. That was his uriginal offer. It was not
mentioned in the newspaper ad that there would not be a
real estate commission. The City will only benefit from
development of this subdivision. Without development the
City would receive 1.9 mills, development would increase it
5 or 6 times. The City would be spending money they would
get back. He is not asking for himself or he would have
asked after the bid was open. The builder would not take
into consideration whether there was a commission or not.

are lumped together. The original intent rae to sell all 3

separate. The way to do this was to take away preference
rights. City Manager Brighton sail these parcels are going
out for bid as a single parcel. Councilman Wise said in the
event no sale is consumated, they will be offered
individually. Atty. Rogers said this does not ensure they
fU
will be disposed of that way. Vice Mayor Measles said this
ordinance will eliminate preferential treatment for these
tracts but it does not prevent Council from putting up for
sale as 3 at a later date. Councilman Wise said it was

the intent of Council to develop by small development. In
the event these do not sell, we have the ability to sell
individually. Vice Mayor Measles said we have the ability
now. The reason we split this into 4 parcels was in hopes
we could sell to small developers. If this does not sell,
we may need the preference rights more than ever.
Councilman Wise said this gives us an option.

subcontractor, the only way he can bid these jobs is
to call all contractors to see if they will bid. If
they are, he will bid for subcontractor. If they are
not on the list, he does not have a chance to bid. It
says he should have a set of plans. If this is not
necessary, he asked that the bid specs be changed.
The, Borough does this, it is standard operating
procedure. A bid will sometimes be rejected for small
reasons. This should have been thrown out.
b. Will Jahrig, Johrig Electric,. He puts in a lot of time
on bids. For local bids, he puts in even more time.
He is a small coi:,;any and cannot compete with larger
contractors if he does not have a description. This
company was not on the bidder's list. fie asked Council
to reject the bid.
c. lion Davis, Harley's Trucking, Soldotna. He was low
bidder on all bids as subcontractor on the asphalt,
which is 40% to 50% of the job, fie asked if this
requirement (listing on plan holders' list) could be
changed in the future so small contractors could have
a chance at the job,
Councilwoman Bailie asked if Public Works Director Kornelis
was familiar with the bidder. Mr. Kornelis replied he has
not done any work with them. He explained, they keep a plan
holders' list and send out plena all over the State and
Washington State. A contractor can come in and review the
plans and not purchase them. The parent company, Rogers
Aabler, got 2 sets of plans, one for Tacoma and one for
Anchorage. Red Sam is of the companies. Rogers b Babler
decided to bid under Kodiak Construction because they had an
asphalt plant in Kodiak they wanted to move to thin area.
When they submitted, they submitted the whole plan, so the
City knew it was from Rogers & Babler. Administration
called them and they said they were the same and asked the
City to direct subcontractors to them, which he did. The
City uses Anchorage speca, with some changes. The specs
state the laws of the State must be followed even if they
are not listed. The City still has the right to determine
the lowest responsible bidder. Kodiak in in the pavinq
business but will bid some work out. The City was concerned
because they were so much lower. tied Sam fine dono
considerable work in Alaska.
d. Cliff Dent, Peninsula fence. Rogers do Babler own Red
Sam and Kodiak Contractors. He called Red Sam and they
said they were not bidding. They should have told him
one of their other companies was bidding. The City
sends addendum on projects. If the company does not
have the plans, they do not get the addendums. He has
no proof that Kodiak received the a4dendume. They
should say if they are accepting under a company they
own. He had a bid thrown out in Palmer because he woo
not on the plan holders' list. Public Works Director
Kornelis said Kodiak Contrr,►:tore received all 3
addandums. ter. Dent said the City sends plans to plan
centers, the bidders can look at them. If they wanted
to bid, why didn't they spend $30 for plans? This
could qet rid of all the small bidders.
e. Don Brown, Brown Construction. This is the first time
this has happened in the 20 years he hoc been in
business. This is collusion hotween the prime
contractor and sub contractor. It is not a fair deal.
Atty. Rogers said the Borough does many things different
i
than the City. Knowledge of the bidders is not a
requirement. Those not on the bid list run the risk of
t' being misinformed without additives. They risk forfeiture
of bid bonds. From n local standpoint, he cannot fault
Kodiak. Councilman Wise asked if the Corps. of Engineers

permit was received, Mr. Kornelis replied yes.
Councilwoman Bailie asked Administration to write a
supplement that a plan holders list be in the bids. Mr.
Kornelis noted there sire sometimes joint ventures, this
would have to be addressed. Vice Mayor Measles asked that
this be dscussed at the npxt work session.

PUBLIC COMMENTS j
Bill Griffin, Kenai Aviation Services, Kenai. He just
reviewed the papers this date for the fuel facility, for the
use permit. He requested a longer permit to make substantial
capital improvements to most major airline standards. He is
under negotiation to have United Airlines use Kenai
instead of Elmendorf. He is asking for a 10 year lease
with 5 year escalation if necessary. Atty. Rogers '
explained, the reason this is in the packet is there is a
modification in the lease. His recommendation is for
approval subject to entering into a new lease agreement.
The use permit has been traditionally 5 years. He asked for
$5 Million indemnification. He will work with a 10 year
agreement and transfer. He duos not want negotiated rates.

Mr. Griffin said the major carriers are talking about
diverting passenger flights also. There will be a sizable
increase in traffic flow. Negotiated rates are with the air
jcarriers. He is asking for use permits for facilities for
fuel from 3 years to 18 years with 5 year increment to
discuss reassessing regarding lease rates and rental.

Councilman Wise moved, seconded by Councilman Hall, for a
uoe permit for airport facilities for 3 years be struck and

G-7 Discussion - City Involvement - Water, Sewer, Road to School
off Swires Rd,
City Manager Brighton explained, this is in :elation to the
Borough proposal for a new school. He asked that this be
discussed at a work session. The bond issue has not been
passed, it will be voted on in October. They are asking us
what it will coat. He suggested writing to the Borough, we
will estimate the cost, they can include it in the bond
issue. Councilman Wise noted 20 acres is not good. Sears
school has 20, uses 10. He would like to see a site plan.
They have 60 acres there. If they will assure us they will
get rid of the remainder, he will consider water h sewer.
This is a poor choice, theme is developable land for the
community they will lock up.
MOTION;
i
Councilwoman Monfor moved, seconded by Councilwoman Bailie,
to send a letter to the Borough, give an estimated cost and i
have them include it in the bond issue.
Councilwoman Monfor said she had a problem having the City
pay when the Borough has millions of dollars in surplus.
The State will only pay 50%, it may be moot.

proposal of March 26, 1985. w
Notion passed unanimously by roll call vote. y
- G-11 Discussion - Petition to Borough Assy. - Areswide Power,
Grant Funding - Senior Citizens
City Manager Brighton explained, the federal budget cuts
have come through to Federal Revenue Sharing, it will be
eliminated Oct. 1985. Since the Borough makes contributions
to the senior citizens from Federal Revenue Sharing, they
felt they would not be able to make a contribution. The
petition is designed to let the Borough get around this and
continue contributing. Municipal League newsletter says it
will be a year longer than anticipated for revenue sharing.
The 01 priority of the National League of Cities is to
continue Federal Revenue Sharing. 60% of the cities under
6,000 use Federal Revenue Sharing exclusively. If revenue
sharing continues to 1986 we have one more fiscal year to
count on from the Borough. We have problems with the
legality on this. Atty. Rogers expressed concern regarding
the extent of powers and he would want to make sure this
does not pre-empt similar actions by the City in the future.
Senior Citizen Coordinator Porter said her biggest concern
is if we do not go ahead with the petition and Federal
Revenue Sharing expires. There is only $24,000 for senior
citizens in 85-669 1/4 of what they normally get. They
cannot get this on the October ballot without Assembly
approval. They wanted to go directly to the voters. They
can always throw it out if they do not need it. This
affects all 4 centers, they all have the same petition.
Funds from the Borough ($500000 to $75,000 per year in the
poet) are for kitchen helper, exercise program, and craft
program.
Council agreed to let the petition go.

MOTIONS
Councilwoman Bailie moved, seconded by Councilman Wise, to
introduce the ordinance.
Councilwoman Bailie asked that item 14.25.0409 be dropped.
5% is a large amount for large areas. Anchorage does not
have a stated percent, just parking lots with more than 60
vehicles, then 5e of the parking lot only.

Councilman Wise suggested amending and let the landscaping
committee review, If we have no percent the ordinance is ,
o
useless. If the plan does not come up to 5: they can
--
justify to the committee. Councilwoman Bailie replied, she
wants landscaping in the parking Iota. It could be all in
front of the building. We should allow flexibility with
developers. Vice Mayor Measles said the ordinance without '
percentage gives guide lines for landscaping. If it is too
restrictive, we do not need a landscaping review board, the
building inspector could approve. Councilman Hall said the
ordinance is still quite restrictive. The security
agreement and review board sill be there without the 5%. He
would not want an ordinance so restrictive it holds back
development. It should be on a leadership basis, not law.
We are already seeing the attitude of the City towards
landscaping, some businesses down town have felt the
r
pressure for landscaping without an ordinance. This does not
-=--
aodress those buildings already built. They will be fixed
by their owners of their awn accord. This allows
_ _•�
flexibility but says we are proud of the City and want
1�
builders to be proud of their facility. Vice Mayor Measles
noted the security agreement calls for 2% of building permit
,�-
value. If the developer has $1 Million office building,
that is $160,400 to put up for landscaping. There would
probably not be enough land to put $160,000 on. A smell
building on a large lot, 2% would not come close to covering
-�
landscaping. The amount of bond should be related to
proposed landscaping rather than permit value. i

H-1 City Manager
City Manager Brighton spoke.
s. He received a call from Ray Gillespie, the Governor's
liaison between the Governor and the Legislature.
There is $250 Million in Capital Improvement Projects
in the Governor's budget, $3-1/2 Million for Kenai's
Community Center. It could end up being $160 Million
to $200 Million. He asked if we could live with
$1 Million towards the community center. Mr. Brighton
said no. Last year we had $1.9 Million for a dock
facility, he asked if we would be upset with $900,000
off for the next year. It was not put in. Mr.
Gillespie said Mayor Wagoner had told him we would take
it and the City would bond for the rest. Mr. Brighton
told him Mayor Wagoner did n9t have conoensus of
Council, to his knowledge. He added, this is Council's
#1 priority and they would not compromise. He
suggested the Governor reduce some community with
$150 Million budget. Councilman Wise said he would
rather get roads and a dock and get it over with.
Councilwoman Bailie suggested asking Mr. Gillespie how
many communities are putting 10% up front, and telling
hAm we will not take less. Mr. Brighton added, moat
communities are not putting up any money.
Council agreed with Mr. Brighton's statement to Mr.
Gillespie.
b. The Viet Nam vets are having a traveling memorial in
Kenai for 4 days. They want the ball field nearest to
their offices for displaying. He said they could use
it.
Council agreed with Mr. Brighton.
as He would like to send a letter to Home Health Care
people. The City has made a contribution, before they
bill us, they should make every effort to collect. Some
are able to pay.
Council agreed to the request.
d. Regarding the museum. We have boon trying to improve.
When people rent the facility, they have access to the
back yard. We have one cabin finished and 3 are being
worked on. There are valuables stored there. If we
acquire non Johnson's material, we will have to secure
it. Many people enter the back yard without
permission. He would recommend discontinuing rental of
Ft. Kenny.

I. PERSONS PRESENT NOT SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD
s. Dave Brown, Kenai. He asked Council to act this date
on real estate commission for Section 36. It would
benefit developers and the City. Atty. Rogers said he
would recommend against it. Councilwoman Monfor said
Council was specific that they would not pay real
estate commissions on Section 36. Vice Mayor Measles
@aid at the time of the decision, all present members
were here. The majority agreed. Councilman Wise said
it would be a conflict of interest for him to vote.
The first offer for purchooe was badly mismanaged by
Administration. Had a realtor been involved, there
would have been a reasonable approach. City Manager
Brighton replied, every item on the last sale was
approved by Council. When a real estate agent provides
a service when no service is provided, it is redundant
to give him a fee at taxpayers' expense. Atty. Rogers
added, the first individual to initiate a sale was a
real estate agent. We started litigation and
prevailed. He continued, if there are personal
attacks, he would ask for executive session and the
ability by the person to demand public or private
session. Vice Mayor Measles said Council was aware of
everything that took place and agreed. He added, he
did not appreciate low shots at Administration.
