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 MAY 14, 1985 Page 2 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 demand. Motion passed by unanimous consent.

MOTIONs ` Councilman Ackerly moved, seconded by Councilman Measles, to adopt the .�� resolution. k i f KENAI CITY COUNCIL MAY 14, 1985 Page 4 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.

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. MOTION, Amendments Councilwoman Monfor moved, seconded by Councilman Measles, to take alternate #2 off the bid.

C-10 Res. 85-51 - Awarding Contract - Construction, Sprucewood Glen Sit; LID MOTION: Councilman Ackerly moved, seconded by Councilwoman Monfor, to adopt the resolution. There was no public comment. 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. MOTION, Tables Councilman Measles moved, seconded by Councilwoman Monfor, to table this item till the next meeting and ask the attorney to look at rejecting the low bid and accepting the next higher bid. VOTE, Table (Passed): Yess Hall, Measles, Monfor, Wise, Ackerly, Bailie Nos Wagoner KENAI CITY COUNCIL MAY 14, 1985 Page 6 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 Pe • I I k KENAI CITY COUNCIL MAY 14, 1985 Page 7 improvements to building, $58,000 contingency that were not in last year's budget. Mr. Ernst reviewed, the siding is $5,0009 the railing Is $3,70U (charged to renovation of terminal fund).

Lots 34 & 359 off Spruce St. Mayor Wagoner requested this item be moved up, as persons testifying have to return to Anchorage this; date. Council agreed to the 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. r� KENAI CITY COUNCIL MAY 14 t 1995 Page 8 b. Harold Kerman, Anchor Trailer Court Manager. tie attended the 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.

G-4 Ord. 1041-85 - Amending KMC - New Position, Asat, City Attorney; Change Pay Range, Legal Asst, 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.

City Manager Brighton noted there are no correctional officers in the budget. Police Chief Ross explained he had recommended moving the 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.

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.
