MAYOR TOM WAGONER PRESIDING
PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
A. ROLL CALL
1. Presents Ray Measles, Chris Monfor, John Wise, Tom
Wagoner, Tom Ackerly
Absents Sally Bailie (excused), Jess Hall (arrived
late)
A-1 Board of Adjustment - Dowling, Rice & Assoc. - Appeal of P&Z
Denial - Townhouse Units, Central Hts. S/D
PUBLIC COMMENTS
a. Roy Whitford, Box 1974, Soldotna. Mr. Whitford was
sworn in by Clerk Whelan. Mr. Whitford explained the
duplex was built in 1984, on Portlock off Walker. They
conformed to City ordinance, 33 ft. wide. The
ordinance now says 24 ft. wide. Historically the City
has approved down to 33 ft. wide. One street down from
these homes, there was approval of a 34 ft. width in
June 1984. He questioned P&Z denying when it conforms
to existing ordinance. It was denied because the City
Is looking at 45 ft. minimum for townhouses. It should
be in the ordinance if that is what they want.
b. Clint Hall, Box 2829, Kenai. Mr. Hall was sworn in by
Clerk Whelan. He is the owner of the townhouse site.
When they built the project, plans were submitted.
They planned to build on zero lot lines. He thought
P&Z wanted larger lots split down the center. This
complies with all requirements. He would like to
finance at zero lot line rather than duplex if he can.
Mayor Wagoner said he was at F&Z when this was discussed.
The main objection was they thought they should be bigger
lots. He suggested they prepare procedures to require
larger lots. The ordinance says 33 ft. Councilman Wise
says the minimum size if 25 ft., subject to review at the
time of establishing zero lot lines.
NOTION$
Councilman Ackerly moved, seconded by Councilwoman Monfor,
that a conditional use permit be granted to Dowling, Rice &
Assoc. regarding construction of two town house units.
Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote.
A-2 Agenda Approval
s. Mayor Wagoner asked that item 8-4 be added -Dave Brown,
Waste in the City Dump
b. Mayor Wagoner said Administration will submit an
amended amount for item C-4, Ord. 1079-85.
COUNCILMAN HALL ARRIVED AT THIS TIME, 7s15 PM.
c. Mayor Wagoner asked that items C-5 (Ord. 1080-85) and

(Ras. 85-85) have amended resolutions distributed this

e. Mayor Wagoner asked that item G-7 (Change Order for
Leaking Main -Bumblebee) be deleted.
Public Works Director Kornelis explained, the bids for stem
C-5 will be in later. Councilman Wise asked if they had
gravel for the roads. Public Works Director Kornelis
replied, yes, they have not been done because they were to

be up -graded, but Council has r3quested they be done now.
Councii approved the agenda as amended.
A-3 Consent Agenda
MOTION:
Councilman Ackerly moved, seconded by Councilman Measles, to
approve the Consent Agenda as submitted.
Motion passed by unanimous consent.
B, PERSONS PRESENT SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD
8-1 Roger Meeks -
a. Green Strip in Old Town
b. Civic League Plaque Location
a. Roger Meeks, Box 424, Kenai. He spoke to Architect
Kasprisin this date, and he agreed with Mr. Meeks.
The 1st plan was to put a street through there. It
would remove all the green strip. He noted the City
looks good now, every tree we save is good.
b. Mr. Meeks said the plaque is here. It was ordered
through a local business. The old Civic League worked
it out with the City, part Civic League funds and part
City funds. There aro 3 places people have wanted it
placed. The Civic League was formed to secure title to
the property across from the old community center.
They would like it put on that piece of property, on
the old school grounds. He suggested it be placed as
near the west end of the play ground as possible so it
won't have to be moved. He thanked the Council for
working with the old Civic League. Mayor Wagoner
suggested the street dept. get a boulder to place it
on. Mr. Meeks noted the people have asked that it be
high enough so they do not have to bend down to read
it.
Council agreed to the suggestions.
B-2 Ron Kasprisin, Architect -
a. Landscape Study
b. Old Town Study
s. Ron Kasprisin, Architect. There have not been any
substantial changes from the lot Old Town proposal.
Mr. Meeks' request regarding the green strip has been
addressed. The idea is to have a lot more discussion
regarding this. Regarding the road pattern, it would
be a town square or a park. It is proposed that the
City, over the next few years, spend time on
re -aligning streets. The town square near the
playground is an excellent idea. It will encourage
private economic development there. The buildings are
small and scattered. The State has long term
financing, but there must be an established historical
district and the State has 1st lien on the property.
We do not have an historical district in Old Town site
area because of scattered structures. If we move the
historical buildings to one site it may work, but it
may not be allowed if they are relocated. He will
notify Council when he finds out. This is an exciting
project, private development oriented. He hopes people
begin to develop. One matter not discussed at the
meetings was brought up by Father Targonsky. They show
relocating Overland Ave. as a new entrance. A cul de
sac crosses the link between the Church and the Russian
cemetery. There may be a conflict. There is a way to
0

KENAI CITY COUNCIL
RUCUST 21, 1985
Page 3
resolve this and still maintain a road. He will send a
proposal to Council. The people with houses to the
west will gain more frontage that way, also. A motif
for the area should be discussed. A cost estimate
will be sent with the final documents for the east
entry park by the Senior Citizens Center. If it was
let out to bid it would be $4,000 to $5,000.
b. They are not recommending much street furniture in the
landscape plan. They would like to use the edges of
berms instead. The airport park would not be a high
use people area. It would be a monument -type park.
It would have high visibility from the airport. It
could be done with volunteer labor. Ryans Dr. park
will gave parking for 6 RV's and 6-8 cars. They did
not want a high use area. There would be a 15 ft. berm
for a view. Each er.heme has a shelter. It can be done
in increments or all at once. A 3 ft. to 4 ft. berm
will cut down on noise. There are options offered.
It is geared to visitors, but with local use.
Mr. Kaeprisin said he has enjoyed the time he has
worked with the City. Mayor Wagoner complimented him on
both documents. He added he would like to start on the
landscape projects right away.
B-3 John Cook - Discharge of Firearms Within City Limits
John Cook, Box 3522, Kenai, Angler Dr. off Beaver Loop.
This is his lot appearance at Council. He has lived in
Kenai 9 years. He complimented Council an their vision
regarding development, �aep up the good work. He is
proud to be a resident of Kenai. He uses firearms and
hunts. Living on Beaver Loop, he has noted many incidents
regarding discharge of firearms. He has had incidents that
were very threatening. He would like to ask the City to
take further steps to educate other than announcements in
the paper. The City sign shop could be used to make signs.
Hunters claim they do not see houses. If we had signs
available to the subdivisions and houses, he would be
willing to put them up. Last year the lot 3 nights, (of
hunting season) about 18 cars came down the street with
windows down, cars moving and rifles out the windows.
There are houses down there. One lady shot and missed 4
times right into a trailer park. There was also an incident
at the airport. There have been times where there was no
citation or fine. That encourages these situations. There
are people that will not know when they are in the City
limits, but it to unfair to those who obey the rules. There
is also a question of safety. ?f signs were available,
people would put them up. Councilman Wise suggested the
City put signs up senoonally at the 3 entrances to the City.
The City could provide signs to concerned citizens to post.
Mayor Wagoner noted there are some areas that are open for
shotguns, some for rifles. Council agreed to prepare and
post signs saying "Discharge of Firearms prohibited within
the City." Atty. Rogers noted the section of the Code is
lengthy. This was to accommodate certain types of hunting.
It may be necessary to review the resolutions. He did not
want to have people put up signs on publi.- property. He
suggested adding to the signs, "Except as Authorized" and
cite the ordinance numbers.
CGJncil agreed to Atty. Rogers' suggestion.

6-4 Dave Brown - Waste in City Dump
Dave Brown, Box 1034, Soldotna, Longmere Lake. There are 2
concepts about him 1) that he is a trouble maker and
bad-mouths people. He took the action at the Union Oil
hearings on the advice of his attorney, he does not have
that attorney any more. 2) that he will make money doing
this. He will not. (Mr. Brown distributed pictures of the
waste in question and a bottle of oil from the area).
Borough Mayor Thompson said Mr. Brown was upset because he
did not take this waste. He could not take it by State
law. It contains 50% to 100% oil. The Borough is not
telling the truth about what came out of the hole. There
was 1,000-2,000 gallons of oil in the hole shown in the
picture distributed. He saw his competitor's truck in
Nikiski about 9sOO PM one night. He went down to Arness
Dock about 900 PM. A berm had been removed, the hole had
been cleaned up and it was landscaped. A vacuum truck was
there. He asked the driver what he was doing. The driver
said he was cleaning it up and did not know where it was
going, it was a Borough job. He saw the driver's boas on
the road and asked him where he would put it so he could put
his (waste) there also. The boss replied he did not know,
it was a Borough job. The boss told him DEC had given Mr.
Bombard a permit to oil the roads. Mr. Brown noted he
cannot get a permit to oil roads. He asked his son to
follow the vacuum truck. After an hour he went to the hole
and filled the jar with oil that was distributed this date.
His son told him he followed the truck to the Kenai land
fill. He told his son it closes at 600 PM. His son
replied the man had a key and went in. It was just the
vacuum truck. He was there about 15 minutes. Mr. Brown
called his lawyer and asked if he could go into the land
fill. The lawyer told him to get a newspaper reporter to go
with him. He contacted Ron Chappell (Anch. News). Mr.
Chappel met him in ten minutes. They went into the land
fill. The road was oiled and graded. There was no grader
there, it belonged to the operator of the truck. There were
twenty 12 yd. to 14 yd. dump truck loads dumped, it was
oily. Mr. Brown said, contrary to what Mayor Thompson had
said, he cannot take that oily material and he would not
haul it to the Kenai land fill, that is not legal. DEC
knew they had no permit to oil the road. The truck is a 90
barrel, they said 40 barrel trucks were allowed. DEC issued
a permit to oil the road in the land fill that was illegal.
The Borough hired a man to do the work at night and when Mr.
Lucky (DEC) was on vacation. He would have dumped gas on
the pond and on the material and burned it lot. The oil
would be gone and the cars, etc. would have the oil off of
them. Then it could be put in the land fill. It is a crime
to take the material from a remote site and put it in down
town Kenai near a residential area. When you rob a bank, no
one gets hurt. When you dump in a city, you are
jeopardizing the health of the city. It is not that far
from the water table. This hes tied repercussions on him. He
received a call from an oil company asking for his vacuum
truck to meet a ship and suck the bilge water. He told the
company he would dump it in Sterling. The company
representative said it was mostly water. The driver was
there at 800 AM this date. The driver does not see the
bilge. About 1000 AM he received a call from his driver,
he said the competition was at the Sterling site. There was
a Trooper holding the driver. The driver said the
competition was there to take pictures when he started to
unload. There was a lot of oil in the bilge. At that time
2 DEC people, Skip Bombard (KPB) with a lady, and Polly
Crawford (Clarion) came up. He did not know who contacted
these people. He suggested DEC go to the middle of the
waste to see if it is more than 4%, but he did not. He said
this is the lot time he has been asked to pump for them in
KENAI CITY COUNCIL
AUGUST 21, 1985
Page 5
4 years. The competition hea been doing it, but it has not
been dumped in Sterling and that is the only legal dump.
Two other companies he knows of are not dumping in Sterling.
Mayor Wagoner said he would speak to Mayor Thompson the next
day (Aug. 22). Councilman Wise suggested something be sent
to Commissioner Ross. He added, records should he
investigated regarding ships being dumped illegally.
MOTIONS
Councilman Wise moved, seconded by Councilwoman Monfort to
direct Mayor Wagoner or City Manager Brighton to formally
query Mayor Thompson and esk for a response to this incident
in writing as to what is going on.
Motion passed by unanimous consent.
Mayor Wagoner said he would send a letter to Mayor Thompson.
Councilman Ackerly suggested the City ask for a permit to
oil the roads in the City and see what the response is.
Mayor Wagoner said he would contact DEC and ask them what
will be done regarding this.

maintenance on these lights, but they do not repair
vandalism. Mayor Wagoner suggested we replace 50% and use

PUBLIC COMMENTS
a. Randy Caler, Box 941, Kenai, 160 Standard Dr. Why
can't the City take over the maintenance?
Councilman Wise suggested approval of the amendment of
g
funds, appropriate the money, but on award attempt to
".
negotiate with HEA to take the spare parts to use as long
as they last. Public Works Director Kornelis noted he
spoke to Mr. Arbelovsky (City Electric). We bid 59 to
F�
furnish and install and 11 to furnish only. If we eliminate
11, Mr. Arbelovsky said okay, but he is getting a price
break with so many. He is doing Inlet Woods at the same

MOTION:
Councilman Ackerly moved, seconded by Councilwoman Monfor,
to adopt the resolution.
There was no public comment.
Councilman Ackerly said we are currently in a subdivision
where these will be replaced. There are no meters, HEA
takes care of these. Does this affect our relationship with
HEA regarding maintenance? Public Works Director Kornelis
replied, once these are replaced, they are maintained.
Councilman Ackerly asked, if we have a current contract with
HEA, why aren't they doing this? It is not the City's fault
they are obsolete. Mr. Kornelis replied that is not part of
their contract. Councilman Hall ovated if we go to new
lights and they become obsolete we will have to replace
them again. They should stock up, it should be their
responsibility. Mayor Wagoner noted it would be easier if
the City set up an Amortization schedule and replaced them.
Councilman Measles asked, what is the repair and maintenance
cost for street lights? Mr. Kornelis replied it used to be
$10 per month per light, but is probably higher now.
Councilman Measles asked, what is the total in the City HEA
takes care of? finance Director Brown said he did a report
3 months ago.
MOTION, Amendments
Councilman Wise moved, seconded by Councilman Ackerly, to
amend the resolution to delete the 6th WHEREAS and add,
"subject to determination by Administration that 1) salvage
of operational lights for future installation by HEA is not
of sufficient number to be economically viable, 2) a
reduced number will not adversely affect unit price."
Councilwoman Monfor asked, when a developer builds a new
subdivision, is it his responsibility to put in street
lights? Mr. Kornelis replied, Inlet Woods is part of an
LID. Councilwoman Monfor noted then it is turned over to
the City to be maintained. Mayor Wagoner said he could not
imagine ballast and parts not being available. At least
they could have parts that are different but still usable.
He asked Mr. Kornelis to give him the parts numbers.
Councilman Wise noted the light at Pine do Forest turns on
and off.

Councilman Wise moved, with approval of second, to add the
word "unreasonably" before the word "adversely" in the

Mayor Wagoner suggested the City would be better to reject
the $509000, give it back to the State and pay it ourselves.
That way it would not be encumbered and the City could do , - -
what they saw fit with the land if it does not succeed. If
we take it this way, thero may be State laws that preclude
us from doing what we want. When the City had discussions
earlier, was these specific requirements they had to meet?
Finance Director Brown replied, they did not have to get
City requirements, just Davis -Bacon wages. They are getting
those. Almost everything is materials so for, Mayor
Wagoner said the State has a statute that if the City
accepts the grant, the City has responsibilities for
maintenance if it does not succeed. Atty. Rogers explained
the City rewrote the agreement as submitted by the State.
Finance Director Brown added, the State would not accept the
rewrite. The requirement is that all contracts are subject
to Davie -Bacon. We are not party to the contract.
Mayor Wagoner avid, we would not be responsible for the
program, (if it goal under) but for operation and
maintenance of the building no a puhlic facility. It has
not been challenged. We must continue to uAe it for a
public purpose. The Borough could have handled this as a

peso -through, Finance Director Brown said, from a practical
standpoint the City will not take it back. We do not have
title to the building, just the land, Atty. Rogers added,
there is a reversionary clause, the improvements go with
the reversionary clause. Forfeiture would be through the
courts. City Manager Brighton noted it would be a windfall
If the City took it over.

Councilman Ackerly noted Council has been getting a lot of
flak regarding asking people to sign. Atty. Rogers
explained, there are corporate entities that have
substantial assets that they are not in the habit of signing
personally. Administration has said they will not accept so
these requests are going to Council. He noted, filing a ,
10-9 does not mean anything regarding their worth. It is a
Council decision to do other than signatures. Mayor WagonoOk
said he could understand F. Meyer, that was Oregon State
retirement funds. But Council would be back -sliding if they
allowed this. Councilman Measles asked, what is their
reason? Atty. Rogers replied they have not said.
Councilman Meselee noted, if the City was dealing with Avis,
he could understand but this is a local sub contractor. G

PUBLIC COMMENTS �
a. Randy Caler, Standard Or., Valhalla, Kenai. They
discovered the section line in the subdivision by
accident. Under the original township this was
reserved by the State to put in roadway, etc. it is i
not utility. It had a 60 ft. easement. They have I
requested vacation because there are sufficient roads
in the subdivision. This would wipe out 1/2 of his
$150#000 home. He has been assured by DOT and other
State agencies that it to just a formality. They will
never exercise the right to use.
Motion passed by unanimous consent.

H-1 City Manager
City Manager Brighton spoke.
a. Regarding the Community Center. Letters have been
written. All have said the word "projects" does not
meet the criteria and cannot be used for the Center.
Rep. Navarre has proposed one last card, all 3 local
legislators send notice to all involved that it was
their intent for the City to use the funds for a
Community Center. Mayor Wagoner noted the Dept. of
Law has said no and will not change their minds. We
should accept the fact they said no, go ahead with road
projects and go back next year for funds. Councilman
Wise asked that a resolution be prepared for the Sept.
4 meeting accepting the funds. He suggested the roads
not be designated, with water A sewer if they are
related. Councilman Ackerly asked if they would be
assessment districts. Mayor Wagoner suggested a work
session to discuss this.
Council agreed to the action.
b. Mr. Brighton received a letter from Jill Burnett
regarding access to the 80 acres down Candlelight. The
City h90 given lease on the acres with option on
additional acres that encompass Candlelight Ext. Mrs.
Burnett wants to know how she will get access. An
ordinance was passed in 1983 describing public easement
on Candlelight as access. In order for them to
exercise option for the golf course, the ordinance will
have to be rescinded. Mayor Wagoner said the people
came to Council and said they will not develop. He
suggested a work session regarding this with all
Involved parties. If the road is placed between their
property and the golf course, it would give them
access.
Council agreed to the suggestion.
c. Mr. Brighton noted info 414, letter from FAA regarding
land sales procedures. FAA wants the City to eliminate
circumvention of bid sale situation for real estate.
If the City is willing to accept a minimum lease term
of 2 years, they would accept that. Mr. Brighton did
not object to this. He explained FAA concern is that
they are interested in the airport getting as much
monoy from the land as possible. They are upset by
people doing improvements and asking for purchase.
They want all possible to go to bid. But there is
nothing fair in making a lessee bid on his own money
if he purchases. If Council is willing to put this
amendment in, it would resolve these problems. Mayor
Wagoner stated FAA set up the regulations regarding
selling, now they don't like the City selling them
this way. Mr. Brighton said he understood the
psychological problem of FAA telling the City what to
do. Mayor Wagoner noted in that time values would
increase. It would make people less apt to buy.
Councilman Wise added there are some people trying to
buy to improve their financial position. They need
flexibility of sale to get financing. Mr. Brighton
explained, the only concern of FAA in the City is the
airport. Council is responsible for the whole city.
Councilman Wise suggested a resolution by Council with
copies to Congressional delegation. The City does not
depend on lands to be developed. If we are forced to
solicit large firms to purchase land, we will die on
the vine waiting for them. Mayor Wagoner noted after

Mr. Cunningham (FAA) received the letter regarding the
antenna farm, he apologized. He did not have Mr.
Brighton's letter rejecting the proposals. Mr.
Cunningham has told Mayor Wagoner and Mr. Brighton
that if the City has more problems similar to that, to
contact him. Councilman Ackerly suggested Sen.
Murkowski visit the antevma farm on his visit.(8-16-85)
Councilman Hall said if people make improvements and
petition for vale, they would have to wait for 3 years.
People want to do their project. They can build
improvements and petition right away at this time. Mr.
Brighton explained, FAA point is to put all out to bid.
He added, it is more important for the City to get
- — alone with FAA than for FAA to get along with the City.
We have leased $1 Million to F. Meyer. FAA has not
seen it yet. Mayor Wagoner said he did not want to
kowtow to FAA. Mr. Brighton asked if Council wanted '.
hire to say it has been to Council and they said to do
nothing with it. Mayor Wagoner suggested saying
Council rejected it.

MOTION:'
Councilman Ackerly moved, seconded by Councilman Measles, to i •.
notify FAA we will accept minimum lease terms of two years
prior to request for sale, this would apply to any leases
after Sept. 1, 1985.
Councilman Measles asked if there was any urgency in setting I
the date for this. Mr. Brighton replied he did not think
so. Councilman Measles suggested Council notify FAA they
"r= are pursuing these methods and others with the least impact
and will contact them.
' NOTION, Withdraw:
Councilman Ackerly, with consent of second, withdrew his
motion.
Mayor Wagoner said Sen. Stevens has told the Council if they
wanted full control of the airport, he would arrange it.
Council took no further action.
H-2 Attorney
Atty. Rogers spoke.
a. Info 012 in the packet. (Prosser Const. ve City) This
is the extent at this time, he will keep Council
informed.
b. Regarding material distributed this date (City vs Kenai
Borough), Chinulna Pt. & Beluga Bay Estates, Fire
Service Area. Is the Council desire to pursue t:,d
matter of a service area? This has not been filed with
the court. A complaint against the Borough precludes
the ballot measure regarding the service area till we
can iron out the will of the people there regarding
annexation. City Manager Brighton has sent a letter to
Borough Mayor Thompson but has not had a reply. Mr.
Brighton added, no action was taken at the last
Borou;i, meeting.

fill is overburden that is contaminated. Councilman
