8-1 Doyle Construction - Proposal for Lease Land for Aggregate Extraction
Douglas Doyle, Kesilof, speaking for Pat Doyle, applicant. There are
three tracts of land just off Van Antwerp St, Doyle Const. proposes
to extract aggregate to 128' and create a lake reservoir, contour land
and reclaim to heavy industrial. Forty acres to start, will not use
all 40, A narrow swath in the middle, 200' x 900' wide trench, push
overburden into trench and extract center. Will create small reservoir
In the center then go the other way. Ike will bring in more detailed
report later. Atty Rogers stated he would have to see if a
competitive bid or an RFP may be necessary. Mayor Wagoner stated that
the item should go P&Z first.
Pat Doyle, Doyle Const. He stated that P&Z is aware of the request.
Mr. Labahn said it went to P&Z as on info item. Councilwoman
Bailie asked why P&1 had not taken action, Mr. Labahn explained the
applicants had spoken to him and he advised them to talk to P&Z and
Council. This io not .a specific design. Councilwoman Bailie noted it
had been to Council one time, Mr. Labahn answered that he wanted this
to be before Council before a public hearing. Mayor Wagoner suggested
Mr. Doyle meat with City Manager Brighton and Atty. Rogers. He added,
it may be better to take percentage of the gravel rather than pay.
Pat Doyle explained the reason he came to Council is because if
Council would not talk about it there was no point in going forward.
Council agreed to pursue. Pat Doyle agreed to meet with Admin-
istration as soon as possible. Atty Rogers noted that any
expenses incurred may benefit a competitor with a public bidding
process. Mr. Doyle stated he wanted to open this summer if possible.
He would need a Corps of Engineers permit also.
B-2 Brad Bradney - Vietnam Memorial
Mr. Bradney explained, the location for the memorial woo confirmed by
Council April 17 and taken away May 1. They have advertised on the
radio here and in Anchorage, there has been a story in the local
paper and in Anchorage papers. Over 250 flyers went out, they have
passed out handbills. They have put in over 1000 man-hours of work.
On May 7 he received notice that they could not use the field. if he
KENAI CITY COUNCIL

had received notice earlier he could have changed it. He did not know
how to notify all the people or make the change. Not all sites are
acceptable. Will they be able to extend their time if they want to,
City Manager Brighton has told them tt,.>y could. Can they be assured
there will be no softball games during the opening and closing
ceremonies (June 18 and 23)7 Elmendorf will bring 8000 people. It
will bring income into the City. Not many people will drive to
Washington D.C., but they can come to Kenai. They have arranged
discount fares from some areas. The Commanding General will be here.
Any other area will be difficult to fly over during the opening
ceremonies, they planned a "missing man" formation of jets to fly
over. There are 54 people from Kenai listed on the wall. City
Manager Brighton explained the problemss crowd control, access,
utilities (electricity, toilets), traffic are better handled inside
the ball park. Councilwoman Bailie suggested the football field at
the high school. City Manager Brighton explained there is
construction on the parking lot. Also, vehicles would have to drive
on the track or field. They also could not fly formation overhead, it
has to be on an FAA area. The electricity is needed to fly the flag
24 hours a day, the memorial is open 24 hours a day. The opening
ceremonies start at 1sOO PM, the games start at 7sO0 PM. Closing
ceremonies are at 8s00 PM. Recreation Director McGillivray said there
are no games on that day.
MOTIONS
Councilwoman Bailie moved, seconded by Councilwoman Monfor, to
designate a parking area; and further directed Recreation Director
McGillivray and City Manager Brighton to coordinate so there are no
conflicts.
Mayor Wagoner noted Police Chief Rose will handle the traffic problem.
It will only be during the opening and closing ceremonies. The
opening ceromoonies will be June 18, the closing ceremonies will be
June 22, they will leave June 23, unless it is extended by popular

PUBLIC COMMENT:
a. John Williams, 508 S. Willow, Kenai. Regarding the sale of KUSCO
to Enster. There is a 50: difference in rates between Kenai
and Soldotna. Union Oil is asking for an extension because they
do not want to use it, they say there is no market. There is a
local company that could use it and has made overtures to Union
Oil to that end. It seems strange to let it sit when it can be
used. It would cut down gas rates in this area. It will be
17% higher this Fall and will go up more. Regarding Pacific
LNG. They said they were shutting down the plan, they have no
Intent of building in the near future. The gas can still be
used to keep down electric and fuel rates in the area. Enstar
rates will be going way up, the City could do something besides
just giving them an extension. They could bring pressure to
bear. A large percentage of gas belongs to the City and was
donated by Oaubenspek on a restricted basis. Councilman Wise
asked, how much of the 300 Million cubic feet DEC has certified
is under committnnent to Pacific LNG? Mr. Williams replied, he
did not know, a lot has been picked up by Enstar. Councilman
Wise said we know how big the reservoir is now, a significant
amount is private property. We are remiss to give permission.
MOTION, Tables
Councilman Wise moved to table action till we receive information from
Union Oil regarding facts behind Pacific LNG contract.
Motion failed for lack of a second.
Mayor Wagoner suggested going to Union Oil to discuss the purchase of
KUSCO. Enster did not make accurate statements to Council. City
Manager Brighton noted the contract expires June 27.

C-9 Res. 85-50 - Awarding Contract - Library Addition
MOTIONS
Councilman Measles moved, seconded by Councilman Ackerly, to adopt
the resolution.
PUBLIC COMMENT:
a. Linda Swarner, Library Commission Chairman. The Commission had a
meeting this date. The majority felt the roof work is
maintenance and should not be an alternate.
b. Terry Stocker, Architect Gintoli's office, Kenai. The roof is in
fine shape now. Their recommendation is to go with the bid for
two reasons: 1) It is $12,000 less than the November bid.
2) In winter at minus 20' it will be hard to keep at proper
temperature without insulation. It is hot mop roof, they will
pull present hot mop and add insulation h re -hot mop.

Councilman Ackerly asked about B.C. Excavating. Public Works
Director Kornelis said they are out of Anchorage. Councilwoman Bailie
asked if Council could award to the next individual. There is only
$500 difference in the next bid. Atty. Rogers noted we do not have a
local preference law. Public Works Director Kornelis added, we do not
have the right to reject for local preference. Atty. Rogers explained
the problom with local preference was delineating boundaries. He is
watching to see what the State will do with this, they are being
challenged. Councilwoman Bailie said this bothered her, they owed
more then this to their constituents. Mayor Wagoner noted this is the
2nd time someone has missed by a small amount. Public Works Director
Kornelis said the deadline is in 60 days.

C-11 Res. 65-52 - Establishing Airport Terminal Lease Rates A Fee Schedule
MOTIONS
Councilman Ackerly moved, seconded by Councilman Measles, to adopt the
resolution.
There was no public comment.
Atty. Rogers explained other airports are $1.85, this is below that.
This does not relate to request -for -proposals. This would be the
minima if we go to a bid situation. Finance Director Brown noted he
told Council at budget hearings we were not contemplating raising
rates. Atty. Rogers said this was to raise rates to most inflation.
Councilman Ackerly asked if we needed additic-nal money to operate
the airport. Finance Director Brown replied no, it was not a Finance
Dept, suggestion, we can operate under the old rates. Airport Manager
Ernst explained the old schedule had rates broken down. This was to
simplify the square footage process. We need to make a rate before
June 30 and till the new system is in place. Mayor Wagoner said there
is no reason why the City cannot wake a profit. Airport Manager
Ernst added, repair costs are going up. Councilman Wise asked if they
were planning to charge busses? Mr. Ernst replied, not at this time.
Councilman Wise suggested finding out what they do in Anchorage.
Mayor Wagoner said the request -for -proposal is written with no
distinction. Councilmain Wise said he would like it to apply for limos
and buses.
MOTION, Amendments
Councilman Wise moved, seconded by Councilwoman Bailie, to amend the
resolution to read, under lease rates/fee schedule, 3rd item, change
"rental cars and" to "vehicles for hire and."
;I VOTE, Amendments
�I d
J Motion passed by unanimous consent.
Councilman Measles noted the rate was lower than any in the City, even
without custodial services, Mayor Wagoner said going out for bid
fixes this for 3 years. Councilman Ackerly asked, how big is the
airport? Mr. Ernst replied, about 22,000 sq. ft. Mayor Wagoner noted
y-' some of that is not maintained by �. �..anitorial service. 3
MOTION, Amendments
-` - Councilman Measles moved, seconded by Councilwoman Monfor, to amend
_� the resolution by changing the lease space rate from $1.35 to $1.50.
'i
Mr. Ernst reviewed other cities, the average is about $1.85 per sq.
ft.
" MOTION, Changes
Councilman Measles moved, with consent of second, to change the amount
to $1.65.
jCouncilman Ackerly said we should not do this without knowing the
figure. Atty. Rogers said traditionally this is for one year, they
are thinking of 3 year period, this will not dictate the
request -for -proposal, but will dictate if this is extended. Mr. Ernst
said he contacted Ketchikan and Sitka but did not get a reply. Juneau
is comparable size. Finance Director Brown said we have a total of
j$229,000 at the old rate and can afford that. Councilman Wise
,..• ,:� suggested we should establish a reserve fund. To go after additional
revenue without reason is not rational. The Federal Government will
j not pay increased rates without a reason. Mayor Wagoner felt we
-N ! should have a reserve fund but with our bond situation as it is we
should bond. But we should have a reserve for small rvirs.
Councilman Ackerly noted we have $14,000 depreciation, $5,000

action.
MOTIONs
Councilwoman Bailie moved, seconded by Councitman Measles, to approve
the vacation request.
Land Manager Labohn explained there is a total vacation of 30 ft. The
Borough has requested retainage of 10 ft. utility easement for
Enstar.
MOTION, Additions
Councilwoman Bailie moved, with consent of second, to add to the
motion, "with a 10 ft. easement."
PUBLIC COMMENTs
a. Mickey Selhay, 3741 W. 79th Ave., Anchorage. He asked Council
not to vacate the easement. It would landlock Section 34. He
owns that lot, it would eliminate wiy sale or development. His
trailer court iu on lots 27. 28, 29, 32, 33 and 34. There ie a
30 ft. easement on lot 34. If lot 35 easement is vacated, he
could not develop lot 34. He would have to shorten hie other
lots for access. Councilman Hall asked if he is using lot 34.
Mr. Selhay replied, he hoe trailers there. There is a road
between lots 39 and 29. There is a gate across Spruce St-, but
he can remove it. The people in trailers come in by the main
entrance at Spur. The reason it was fenced off was because of
vandalism and speeders. Mayor Wagoner noted he could provide
access through hie other lots. Mr. Selhay asked, why should he
provide access when he already has it? What if he wanted to sell
lot 347 Councilman Wise said if the vacation is approved, the
part in lot 35 would revert to the Church. The part not
originally addressed by the Church would revert to the owners.
He asked if there were fees involved, or a title transfer in the
easement. Mr. Selhay replied, the records are confusing. Atty.
Rogers explained, unless Council takes affirmative action, they
acquiesce to the Borough. Mr. Selhay said he was not at tho
Borough Planning meeting.

Borough Planning meeting, but did not testify. Atty. Rogers
stated he spoke on behalf of Mr. Wilhelm. Mr. Selhay said this
is his partner.
c. John Williams, repreeenting the Catholic Church. They have had
the request for several years, 30 ft. was given to the City to
act se enlarging of the existing easement , in order to access
lot 34 when apartments were there. The apartments burned down.
The trailer court assumed ownership with the easement. 15 ft,
was reserved by the City. The trailer court was sold to the
present owners. They have barred use of the 30 ft. for public
access and part of the 15 ft. has trailers. The Church had a
survey done, There are trailers on the 15 ft. and on Spruce.
Lot 34 will not be landiocked because of the 15 ft, that still
exists, He does not know if Enstar is within the 30 ft. or the
15 ft. The owners of the trailer court requested a survey
excluding the 30 ft. easement. They are not using the 30 ft. for
its original use. The Church is asking the 30 ft. be given
back to them as the trailer court owners have no use for it.
Mayor Wagoner explained the location of the trailer courts is a
civil matter.

MOTION:
Councilman Measles moved, seconded by Councilwoman Bailie, to
introduce the ordinance.
Councilwoman Bailie congratulated Legal Assistant Callahan for passing
his bar exam. He has done a tine job. Regarding assistant attorneys
in the State. Anchorage, Fairbanks and Juneau do not have assistant
attorneys. Several cities do not have attorneys - Homer, Seward,
Soldotna. Ketchikan shares with the Borough. Each city hes a clerk
and an assistant, one clerk had a wecretary. This attorney has a full
time secretary, the Land Manager has many responsibillties of the
Attorney. The Administrative Assistant does all leases that the
Attorney does not do. She would like to fund this positir-, but there
are other areas that need to be funded firsts a deputy clerk or a
secretary for the Clerk. The Clerk has to do her own secretarial
duties. Some time we will be ready for an assistant attorney. Mayor
Wagoner said Council hires an administrator to recommend the support
we need. Council should not get into deciding what positions we need.
He would accept a comparisc- of cities, but he did not think Council
should say what support Administration needs. The City is the largest
land holder in the State. Same cities also do not operate their
airports, Councilwoman Bailie noted with this position the legal
salaries are $150,000. She has had phone calls asking why we have to
fund this kind of salary amount. Petersburg pays $63,000, Juneau pays
$659000, When we create a position we never delete it. Councilman
Measles said if Administration recommends an addition and Council says
we do not need one but need anothar, they are wrong.

Communications Supv. from 10 to 12 and dispatchers from 8 to 9 based
on a 42 hour work week. He had no problem with 11, he just wanted
more difference between supervisor and dispatcher. In one year the
supervisor would make less than all the dispatchers. He had no
problem with deleting the correctional officers.

G-17 Lease Application - Fred Meyer Real Estate - CIIAP
MOTIONs
Councilman Measles moved, seconded by Councilman Hall, to approve the
lease application.
Councilman Ackerly asked if the application was complete. Land
Manager Labahn replied, it is from the standpoint that we have a
working site plan. The final site plan will have to be submitted
prior to construction, but could be turned in after the lease is
executed, to be reviewed by Administration, P&Z and Council.
Councilman Ackerly asked if this was standard operating procedure.
Mr. Labahn replied, in most instances we have a final site plan
before the lease is signed. Councilman Ackerly asked if the
appraisal is current at $1.82. Mr. Labahn replied yes, there are
two tracts involved. The expiration date on one is 30-45 days, the
other is 4-1/2 months. Councilman Ackerly noted that is $.64
difference in return based on fair market value. Mayor Wagoner
explained the property has not been requested to be released for sale
by FAA. The appraisals are for lease, not for purchase. Mr. Labahn
noted the 6 months' validity is for sale or lease. Mayor Wagoner
said we cannot sell till we have FAA approval. One will run out
before FAA approval, it will have to be reappraised. He would like
to ask Fred Meyer to give Council a detailed site plan in 30 days.
Mr. Labahn replied, this is a little ambitious but the intent is
good. Mayor Wagoner said we can call and ask for it as soon as
possible.
Councilman Ackerly asked to abstain from voting because of possible
pending litigation.
VOTE (Passed)s
Yess Hall, Measles, Monfor, Wise, Wagoner, Bailie
Councilman Ackerly abstained.
Councilman Wise said we are treating Fred Meyer different than other
people. We are approving a lease before we have data. Mayor Wagoner
explained, this is a concept lease. We do not approve a lease till
Administration drafts. Councilman Wise asked, what is a concept
lease? He considers this a regular lease. We are approving a lease
without supporting documents. It is a change of policy of accepting a
lease proposal without a site plan. City Manager Brighton said this
is a procedure we use in almost all cases in order to get the feeling
of P&Z and Council. It is not signed by the City till the site plan
goes to P&Z and Council. Mr. Labahn added, P&Z recommends the City
enter into the signed lease agreement with the stipulation of
submittal of an approved site plan prior to construction. Councilman
Wise said the concept lease was to get the feel of lands that could
not be identified legally - part of a larger tract, it could not be
surveyed or appraised. In this case the land is identifiable. If we
are using this as a concept lease, it is unfair to take it off the
market. Mayor Wagoner said we may be approving the lease but just

directing Administration to prepare a lease. This is not a lease.
;Y Councilman Wise said this is authorizing Administration to execute the
lease. City Manager Brighton said Council approves the lease prior
to executing. Councilman Wise replied, Council authorizes the lease to
be executed when Administration gets it prepared. Council never sees
it again, they should not have to. Mayor Wagoner noted only
amendments and assignments come back to Council.

G-20 Discussion - Selection of Engineers
Public Works Director Kornelis said he developed a system of
requests -for -proposals. Engineer LaShot is suggesting a
different method of bidding instead of the present method. Councilman
Ackerly noted we had agreed with the engineers that we would set up a
program proposal. Mayor Wagoner stated some of the recommendations
Council has received were unfounded and they did not feel were made
with sound judgement. Councilman Ackerly said the engineers said they
would sit down and write up proposals. He had thought something would
be initiated. Public Works Director Kornelis said they are trying to
get something for Inlet Woods for the next meeting. There used to be
a Public Works Committee but Council does not use it any more.
Administration is in such a hurry they do not take the time to review.
Mayor Wagoner said Council wanted an in-depth review by Public Works,
recent ones have not been in depth. Councilman Wise said the big
problem was in design review, Council did not have a report from
Public Works on what we should look for. There was no explanation
on the spread sheet. Mayor Wagoner suggested discussing this further
at the next work session.
Council agreed to the suggestion.
