Motion pasoed by unanimous consent. B. PERSONS PRESENT SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD B-1 Pat Osborne - payment of Peninsula Home Health Care Ms. Osborne thanked Council for the $14,000 grant last year. They have not used all the money allotted to Kenai 1 patients. They did not receive the grant till Jan. 29. 1 They still have patients in this area that are teeing paid ' with this money, they will have to discharge patients at the � end of the month if they do not have an extension. She i asked if there was any way to obtain an extension. , -- Councilwoman Bailie asked why the funds were not available till Jan. Mayor Wagoner explained, there was no action by the Home Health Cate people. He added, Council had said they did not like to get into this type of service, but they would allot $14,000 to residents of the City. Mr. Mundell had said the maximum time would be June 30 and there would not be another request. It was to be self-sustaining at that time. Hs. Osborne explained, they did not have a ' chairman till March. Some people that could have been serve.! were not. Home Health Care is a new business and has had growing pains. They are going to be self- sufficient, but not till next year. The present balance ; is $8,000, she has been using the money. MOTIONS , Councilman Wise moved, seconded by Councilman Measles, to direct Administration to extend services through the end of the year. g 0 n KENAI CITY COUNCIL JUNE 19, 1985 Page 2 City Manager Brighton asked if that was the end of the year or till funds are not available. Councilman Wise replied, till the end of the year, but he was not prepared to make an additional grant. Me. Osborne stated she would not be back to Council. Atty. Rogers suggested Council meant the end of the calendar year. Council agreed. VOTE ( Passed) s Yess Wise, Bailie, Hall, Measles Nos Wagoner B-2 Libby Black - City Street Lights Libby Black, 1535 Stellar. She had called the City asking for street lights on her street. She was told there was a backlog. She is concerned with the long hours of darkness and number of kids, it is dangerous. She would like lights on 2 bus stops. It is a new section of Stellar. Public Works Director Kornelis reported the street lights were not Included in the project. At one time it was discussed, but it was too late, they had awarded to the contractor. The owners did not list it on the LID. Mayor Wagoner suggested a written report be submitted at the July 3 meeting. Councilman Wise suggested a report had already been made, Mayor Wagoner explained this was regarding meters. Council agreed to the suggestion. 8-3 Ron Kesprisin - Old Town Study Mr. Kesprisin said he would report on the Old Town Study and the Landscape Master Plan. The Old Town Comm'16-1.1:a met 6-18, this will be their last meeting. He distributed material regarding the latest proposals for Old Town. He will have the final draft by the end of June, he would like comments submitted to Land Manager Labahn. The deadline will be the end of July. By contract, he had to have 3 schemes. They have the final road plan and some alternates on commercial/retail area. He felt this had the least negative impact. The 3 options have much flexibility, it is not a zoning plan. He recommended the town site be changed to town site zoning to allow a visitor/retail mixture. He recommended historic buildings be moved or used for new development. Property owners are positive to tl;at approach. He will discuss funding regarding State, Federal or private development. Regarding the landscape master plan, they started out at an ambitious level. They will modify and look at 3 to 5 year periods for more ambitious projects. Mayor Wagoner thanked Mr. Kesprisin for the plan, he was skeptical at the price but we are getting our money's worth. B-4 Marko Zurek/Pat Doyle - Extraction of Gravel on City -Owned Property Marko Zurek, Rt. 1, Box 1225, Kenai. Their request was altered from the original request for gravel. There will be permits involved and meetings with residents. They are asking to work with P&Z and people concerned. If they arrive at a compromise they will extract gravel. They asked for 120 acres. After reading the paper after Council meeting they found out information they had not known. They thought a smaller parcel would be better to show that the end result would not be the same as in the past. It would be dust -free; bvcauae of the vast area, there would not be a noise factor. It would be done during the day. There will be opposition but they feel Council Should take into I 9 a p fl �f 0 �l RENAL CITY COUNCIL JUNE 19, 1985 Page S consideration what would happen to this parcel.. They do not l know if they will proceed with it, they do not know if it will be economically feasible. Dredging should be allowed on an experimental basis. After extraction was complete, there would be a lake, this is desirable. There are Corps of Engineer permits to obtain, it would be a lengthy process. Council should give them a chance unless there is a specific use for the property. Councilman Wise noted when this came up a month ago, he askee if they had right of entry. He was told Administration gave them that. Material going into the wetlands is not good material. They should take test samples first to see if 40 acres is necessary. Part will be very visible from homes, this is against Code. If it is a smaller area it may be acceptable _ - to the people. Mayor Wagoner noted most of the people do not want a gravel pit. Councilman Hall coked, what is the zoning of the 40 acres? Land Manager. Labahn replied RR, but it still must have a conditional use permit. Councilman Hall noted there is a cement plant there now, this waLld abut that. There will be a 40 acre buffer zone between this and the residential zone. Mr. Zurek said the ". preliminary soil report was done. It showed 6 holes worth == interest in the area. Wince, Corthell h Bryson has not done a study there. Councilwoman Bailie noted there were many people in thw audience that wished to speak. Mayor Wagoner explained this is not a public hearing, but noted people have spent much money on their homes in the area and v do not wish this in sight of their property. It would have an adverse effect on the value of their homes. Linda Gintoli showed aerial photos of the area. Mayor Wagoner noted there are other areas gravel could be extracted. It will be there at a later date if it is needed. MOTION: Councilwoman Bailie moved, seconded by Councilman Hall, that the Council approve the gravel pit in this piece of property Marko Zurek is speaking about. MOTION, Additions Councilwoman Bailie moved, with consent of second, to add to the motion that this be referred to P&Z for review and public hearing. -- VOTE (failed): "- Yes s Hall r T-, Not Wise, Wagoner, Bailie, Messlee B•5 Dave Brown, Purchase of Section 36 Dave Brown, Box 3691, Kenai. He informed Council that the closing documents for Section 36 have been drawn up and Atty. Rogers has them. He is ready to close. He will have �. a check for the City and be ready to sign. His attorneys F are suggesting instead of lumping all in one and name _ purchasers and he assign documents to other individuals the same day, we clean the paperwork before we make payments. —s They are asking for 8 different deeds of trust. He is not asking for any different terms, the down payment is the some, the price is the some. The City will receive 15% of total, the interest is the same. There is no change in partial releases. There has been dome concern that he has been misrepresenting this and saying he is the only one i purchasing this. In the pest it has been the City's choice to deal with one peruon because it goes much smoother. Hs has not misrepresented himself. His March 6 letter showed there were others involved. It hen always been the intent of Council that it be with residents of the City and not If T. 9 e a I s KENAI CITY C17UNCIL JUNE 19, 198.E Page 4 sold to people outside Kenai. The majority are Kenai residents. Atty. Rogers explained he just received this request. this date. Partial release is for the purchaser's benefit. He is asking for less than before. This makes more sense for him and for the City. It was on the specific terms with partial release, but he wanted Council to be fully informed. This is a variance. It went out without requirement of financial solvency. We only required the highest bid price. The City has had one representative for many bidders in the past. We are cutting through layers of paperwork. He has a right to assign. It could benefit the City because of the financial stature of the partners and there is more solvency with more partners. Councilman Wise noted the values assigned are percent and have no factual relationship to the value of the land. He did not want the City implying there are values. A&B were designed as separate entities and could stand separately, C cannot. Water must come from Spur between 2 tracts. He is not sure the buyers are aware of this or that the street must come up to standard. If one wants to sell, all must be up to standard before it is sold. This needs to be acknowledged by the prospective buyers. Mr. Brown replied, although they are separate as a group, they are together as to development. They plan to meet as a group and make guidelines before filing final plat. It will be in accord with City sale documents. Everyone in the sale is aware of the value difference. That is one of the conditions of the sale. The City is hold harmless. City Manager Brighton said he has reviewed this administratively. He feels there is a possibility that the City could be in some jeopardy if they agreed to this. The City advertised to bid this parcel and Mr. Brown was the only successful bidder. If we transfer all to Mr. Brown he can transfer to whomever he wants to. If we transfer to those that did not bid, a person could come in and say he would have bid if it had been that small. The City should convey to the successful bidder and let him transfer if he wishes. The specs were not advertised this way. Atty. Rogers explained, he disagreed, it is the Council prerogative which way they want to go. MOTION: Councilwoman Bailie moved, seconded by Councilman Measles, to authorize separate deeds of trust with the sale of Section 36 to Dave Brown. Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote. C. PUBLIC HEARINGS C-1 Ord. 1052-85 - Amend KMC Sign Code MOTION: Councilman Measles moved, seconded by Councilwoman Bailie, to adopt the ordinance. There was no public comment. Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote. C-2 Ord. 1054-85 - Amend KMC - Public Vehicle Commission MOTION: Councilman Measles moved, seconded by Councilman Hall, to adopt the ordinance. I ! e � T: I; 1 .� �f KENAI CITY COUNCIL JUNE 19, 1985 Page 5 PUBLIC COMMENT: a. Joe Langston, City Cab Co, Kenai. He requestedHeis continuance till the 1st two weeks of August. trying to compile information regarding deregulation: There is some pending litigation in Anchorage regarding Federal government concerns that he would like to see settled first. Atty. Rogers explained, the problem is that the State did away with the State Transportation Commission but did not enact legislation to enable municipalities to regulate. It is now in Federal court in Anchorage regarding regulation of taxis and anti-trust. If Council wants to delay he would ask them to consider allowing operation by the 2 applicants we now have. The Public Vehicle Commission indicated they would allow one. He had asked them not to proceed any further till this was resolved. This allows permitting on the basis that he feels we can perform. He would be concerned with denial of any applicant because they would have the same recourse as those in Anchorage. Mr. Langston noted the Anchorage problem does not have to do with regulations. That is because they do not set rates and they are in violation of deregulation. He does not have time till August to compile the facts. Atty. Rogers said he is concerned with Council making any decision based on economic consideration. The Public Vehicle Commission decision was made on economic considerations. Mr. Langston said there are still regulations. A lot of cities have gone back to regulations. The bill in the Legislature will be brought back next year. The Anchorage problem is not the same as Kenai, it is rates. He is asking for 6 weeks. His license is up July 1. 2 cab companies requesting license are located in Sterling and Soldotna. The Public Vehicle Commission denied 2 local companies when City Cab was approved. They should have preference. He did not think 6 weeks would cause great harm. MOTION, Amendments Councilmen Wise moved, seconded by Councilman Hall, to change the effective date of the ordinance to August 15, 1985. Councilman Wise explained if Mr. Langston has information causing us to reconsider it could be done before the effective date. If it does not have to be reconsidered we will have an ordinance on the books. VOTE, Amendments Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote.

They are not contesting the dollar amount but they have been the low bidder for 2 years and did not get the bid. Assuming all criteria are met, it would be low bid. They complied with all bid space and feel they are the low bid and should receive the contract. b. Bob Pennington, Motorola. For 2 years SouthContral has received the bid when they were high. Motorola should be considered this year. Mayor Wagoner explained there were other considerations at that time. There is no local preference. He asked if Police Chief Rose wished to reconsider, Chief Ross replied no. Chief Roos explained, 2 years ago Motorola was low bid. He recommended it be awarded to them. Prior to Council meeting it was determined there was an office problem because the local representative woo not there. The portables would not be maintained locally. The bid was not awarded to them.

Rev/Appns - Golf Course Water do Sewer - $185,000 MOTION; Councilman Hall moved, seconded by Councilwoman Bailie, to introduce the substitute ordinance submitted this date. Public Works Director Kornelis reviewed the request. A lift station will be needed in the gulley near the tie-in to Swires. They will need to add over 300 ft, of line. The rest is contingency and engineering. This is for water h sewer, not for road improvements. Mayor Wagoner said he and City Manager Brighton met with Borough representatives. This is an elementary school site that will be on the election ballot in Oct. The Borough was concerned with water h sewer. The City feels this is a Borough problem, but is concerned with development. There are 4-1/2 acres that are owned by the Borough. The Borough said if the City provides water & sewer they will put the property up for sale. $165,000 for water & sewer; $328,000 for roads, water & sewer. It would open up the area for development. We could do the lift station this year and get capital improvement money for the rest next year. City Manager Brighton noted it is not incumbent for the City to decide till after the Fall election. Councilman Wise said at the first Borough land sale a considerable amount of city land was up for sale and went to a law suit. He suggested the Borough put the remainder of that up for sale also. Mayor Wagoner replied they are willing to do that. Councilman Measles asked, assuming the loop is completed, will this handle the additional water flow? Public Works Director Kornelis replied it will handle down to the east of town. Mayor Wagoner asked if there was any money left from other capital improvement reserve balances for water h sewer improvements. Finance Director Brown replied yen, but not enough for Aliak, McCollum project. Councilman Wise suggested engineering for sewer to Thompson Park, so we will have the data when we go to the Legislature. tie added, the lift I 8 KENAI CITY COUNCIL J JUNE 19, 1985 Page 1U station is a major improvement, it should be assessed to the property owners. Mayor Wagoner explained, it would cost us more (to assess) than we would get from it. MOTION, 2nd Readings Councilman Wise moved, seconded by Councilman Hall, for 2nd reading of the ordinance.

Mayor Wagoner asked why the stipulation was added that it be used for parking only. Land Manager Labahn explained, the applicant said he did not wish a building there. It was his request that it be dropped. If he has a change, he can ask for an amendment. The City will tack a survey into the Marathon Rd. project. Councilman Hall requested abstaining from voting because of his relationship with the Crysler dealership. Councilman Measles asked if the applicant was aware of the reallignment of Marathon Rd. Land Manager Labahn replied, this is presented with the reallignment. Motion passed by unanimous consent, with Councilman Hall abstaining. G-10 Discussion - Fred Meyer Lease Requirements VICE MAYOR MEASLES ASSUMED THE CHAIR, MOTIONS Mayor Wagoner moved, seconded by Councilman Hall, to not require individual signatures of owners and/or officers in consideration of their obvious nize and financial stature in the case of the Fred Meyer property lease. Mayor Wagoner explained the City usually requires individual signatures. Fred Mayer is owned by a public employees retirement fund that prohibits listing them as signers. The lease should be signed this week. The size of the company should keep us from concern. Atty. Rogers explained, because of lessees going bankrupt (in the past) without individual signers, he has required individual signers. It is not an ordinance. Motion passed by unanimous consent. MAYOR WAGONER RESUMED THE CHAIR. G-11 Discussion - Future Extraction of Sand from Pit - End of Candlelight Public Works Director Kornelis explained, we have a present commitment for sand. We need $225#000 per year from that to use for construction and winter sand. When we get present commitment this summer we will be out of sand on west side of Candlelight and hope to go to east aide of Candlelight. We would have to purchase otherwise. He hoped to develop for recreation after sand is extracted He has reviewed this with Dick Morgan. Mayor Wagoner noted Mr. Morgan is concerned about future extractioii of sand. He hoped to develop the other 9 holes in the future and ask for this. It is too valuable to just strip the land. We havo i 1 KENAI CITY COUNCIL JUNE 19, 1985 Page 12 sand other places. Would this reduce the cost to contractors or do they pay us per yard? Public Works Director Kornelia replied, in the bid documents we say sand is available for use. Mayor Wagoner said we would pay more elsewhere for the price of sand if we did not use this. He suggested directing Administration meet with Mr. Morgan and report at the July 3 meeting. Council agreed to the suggestion. Councilman Hell asked when we take the top soil out, will the top soil be left to put back after? Public Works Director Kornelis replied, some has been disposed of. If we go into a new area, we can save it. We will have enough on the west side for this without the winter sand. We have no other city pit. We tried to purchase sand, it was over $20 per yard because it was all frozen. We would have to purchase in advance. We could purchase from the airport. ADDED ITEM: Mayor Wagoner suggested proceeding with obtaining permission to trade property to allow 200 ft. along the road length of four 40 acre tracts excluding the ball areas and make a housing strip to sell off. Councilagreed to the suggestion. G-12 Kenai Chamber of Commerce Resolution 85-6 - Urging City to Proceed with Construction of Community Center Utilizing $2.3 Million Allocated to Legislature Mayor Wagoner noted there has been much discussion regarding money from the State. The Community Center was the 01 priority. He proposed going out to bid (the plans & bid documents are ready) contingent on the City receiving the grant award from the State. He asked Finance Director Brown when the funds would be coming, Mr. Brown replied about August. Mayor Wagoner suggested we could go out to bid at this time with the 2nd phase or added alternate. Does the Council want this or should the funds go elsewhere? Councilman Hall asked if the study prepared by Finance Director Brown regarding costs of maintenance & operation and revenues could be made available. Councilwoman Bailie said we could run the center with less manpower than other areas. It will not be profitable at first, but in the future it could be like the airport.
