Vesta Leigh - Solid Waste Incineration Facility
Me. Leigh showed a study to the Council she had received
r
from Mr. Bombard. The Borough has not given this to
Council, but had given them out to Soldotns Chamber of
Commerce. The Soldotns Chamber of Commerce told her
they had no material. She got this from DEC and brought
it back to Soldotns Chamber. DEC told her application
was filed with the Anchorage office. Mr. Bombard told
°
her they did not have to film because the stack will be
90 ft. nigh. DEC told her the Borough had to file. Mr.
Bombard told her this was a good location, there would
�!
be nothing going into the ground. Mr. Bombard said they had
l
wonderful hydrologists, she could find none mentioned in
the report. The study said Nikiski was the best place. 4
areas were considered in the study, Beaver Creek woo
mentioned once - that the road systems were good there.
The other 3 were Nikiski, Kolifornsky Beach Rd. and
Soldotno (by the school). Mr. Bombard told her he may have
a problem with the wastes from Seward. He also said the
study refers to underground storage tanks. They will only
h�
accept road oil. She noted Times Beach was bought by the
Government because of road oil in the ground. Mr. Bombard
I,
{
said they would check it as it fills. They will take the
__..
burned refuse, mix it with otl, and incinerate it. If it
is contaminated, they will haul it off. Where will they
I

J
KENAI CITY COUNCIL
SEPT. 19, 1904

haul it? Do they have the oil to make it a viable fuel?
She has Peen drums oozing material at the land Fill. Who
will police this? Mr. Bombard told her the man operating
the front loader will stop if he sees anything suspicious.
The report said there will be a separate place for salvage.
The man with the loader will separate. She has problems
with the study. She had difficulty getting it, the City
has not received it, nothing is said about the equifir.
They plan 3 monitoring wells. They will not see a problem
till after there is a problem. Regarding the smoke stack.
It will transport emissions into the air, that does not
mean they are not solid emissions. There will be a bag
i house to remove particles before emitting. The FAA told
her Fall through Spring, the winds are Northeast to
Southwest, the rest of the year it is reversed. So the
emissions will create problems. DEC told her Mr. Bombard
will have to have a report on this. There will also be 10
weeks down -time for maintenance, plus 10 weeks down -time
anticipated for unforeseen difficulties. This is much time
down. Why are they bringing refuse from Seward? Why is it
over our drinking water? There is not much time to think
about this. Mr. Bombard said he would come to Council the
day after the election. She noted there were more copies of
this study at the Borough.
I Joe Arness - Pres., Borough Assembly. Regarding ground
water. The plan has been revised to extend the sewer system
out to there, it would not be going into the ground. The
new process has no effluent at all. The water will be mixed
with ash and treated. Councilman Wise said, the Peninsula
Clarion reported this was told to the Soldotna Chamber of
Commerce. Why are we the last to find out? Mr. Bambard was
scheduled this date and did not come. Regarding mixing
waste water with ash, what about emissions? The City has
not been given the courtesy of telling us. Mr. Arness said,
any time you talk about solid waste, you don't win. Mr.
Arness spoke to Mr. Bombard just after he returned from the
east coast, he had seen the prQceas. Mr. Arness had been
requested by the City to schedule Mr. Bombard for a Council
- meeting. The latest study is not available yet. The
Borough is not side-stepping Kenai. They came to Council at
Mr. Arness' request. As for Soldotna Chamber of Commerce
meeting, it was not an intentional slight to Kenai. He
thought the present site is good, it is an environmentally
safe project. The Borough is committed to that. There will
be 13-15 full time jobs. We have to dispose of wastes in
the Peninsula, that is the logical place. On Kalifornsky
- Beach Rd., there is a high water table, there is an impact
on more residences. Location near government buildings was
considered, but that would not work. Spur Rd. has the NEA
transmission site already there. City Manager Brighton said
Mayor Wagoner called him Sept. 18, they scheduled a meeting
with Mayor Thompson. The morning of Sept. 19, Mayor
Wagoner called him and said the meeting was cancelled.
Later Mayor Wagoner told him it could be worked out
regarding the sewer to remove septage from the incinerator.
Mayor Wagoner asked Mr. Brighton to report he told Mayor
Thompson he would not sit still without the Borough paying
the major cost for removal. tor. Brighton added, this is all
moot if the proposition does not pass. If it does pass,
i there will be public hearings. Councilwoman Bailie asked
Mr. Arness, as of now, there is nothing in writing regarding
the sewer plant? Mr. Arness replied, they had core samples
taker► for a leach field. Vesta Leigh noted the report does
not mention Beaver Loop. Mr. Arness said this study was
commissioned 1-1/2 months ago, the other study did not
,. report on Beaver Loop. A large portion of the study is moot
because it will be tied into the sewer system or they will
be using a new system. There is no need for drainage.
__ Councilwoman Bailie said Mr. Bombard had time to go to the
on
KENAI CITY COUNCIL
SEPT. 19, 1984
Page 3
Soldotna Chamber of Commerce. He has not set up any public
hearings. We do not know what it will do to our public
water. What about emissions on winter days? She has
difficulty talking to Kenai residents when the Borough has
not been up front with us. We are voting $10 Million. She
was told it includes the sewer line extension. Mr. Arneas
replied, no. Councilwoman Bailie said Mr. Bombard approved
the resolution closing the land fill. Mr. Arness replied,
there has been no decision made regarding the land fill
site. Regarding the sewer line extension, the numbers they
had to generate for the leach field correspond with the
sewer line costs. The money was not put in for sewer lines,
but it would cut out the other things that had to be done.
He added, this is not cast in stone. The Borough has been
burying garbage for many years, we should not. Councilman
Wise asked, when will the Borough give us a report on the
site and other things, such as traffic impact, city water
supply, Beaver Creek pollution, pollution of wells, air
pollution? Mr. Arness replied, that is an Assembly
decision. Councilman Wise suggested deferring the vote till
the November election so the community can have some
assurances. Mr. Arness replied, after 30 days there would
be still questions to ask. The reason he wanted it put on
the ballot was, the study was done in phases. These items
are already lined out. Councilman Wise noted the City has
not received any of this in writing. Mr. Arneas said they
brought in some reports. Public Works Kornelis noted this
was a draft of the feasibility study. Mr. Arness said, the
process is in fact nailed down. The site is not referred to
in the $10 Million number. The process is tied to the
building and type of facility. The 1st plan is $14 Million,
the Assembly said no. He offered to send all 3 reports to
Council. He added, there will be public hearings on the
site. Councilman Wise said the voters are voting the
incinerator in Kenai. That may not be in the wording, but
that is what they have been led to believe. Some will vote
for or against it because of the location. Mr. Arness said
there has been no site decision made.
6-2 Joe Arness - High School Auditorium Dedication
Mr. Arness asked to take this off the agenda.
6-3 Sarah Owen, Leo T. Oberts S/D - Getting Streets Plowed This
Winter
Mrs. Owen asked, what do they have to do to get their
streets plowed? There were 2 Meadowlark streets, one is
not accepted by the City. How do they measure up to City
standards? They have 700 ft. of road, 24 ft. wide. There
are 2 dwellings on the road. The City plows to the end of
it. Public Works Director Kornelis replied, neither of the
Meadowlark streets have been maintained. The developers
have put in streets without getting permits. She will have
to have Mr. Oberts open it up for inspection to be approved
by the City. Mrs. Owen said she was told it was a City
street.
MOTIONS
Councilman Wise moved, secoFided by Councilwoman Bailie, that
all gravel roads for which the city has filed for State
Revenue Sharing, if not up to City standards, shall be
brought to such standards at City expense. All platted
gravel/dirt roads on which there front two or more dwelling
structures shall be accepted for maintenance, if necessary
upgraded to standards, and added to the State Revenue
Sharing System. All other roads - gravel/dirt/paper - shall
be brought to City standards by the owners at their expense
before the City shall accept them for maintenance. The City

may support upgrading of roads with dwelling structures on a
shared basis after case by case review. The City shall, on
issuing all building permits, annotate all permits as to
whether or not the proposed structure fronts on a City
maintained road.
Councilman Wise reviewed the motion. It is ridiculous
not to plow. If people are paying taxes, we should be
responsible for their well-being. Councilman Ackerly asked,
how many miles will this affect? Mr. Kornelis replied,
about 4 miles. He felt the developer should develop the
road properly. Buyers will pay the extra cost. He
questioned if it was proper for other citizens to stand
the cost. The 2nd statement would hurt the City, it would
be more maintenance for crews. The 3rd do 4th statements,
that is policy now. He noted, when they got their building
permit, it is too late. Also, the builder usually gets the
permit. Councilwoman Monfor said she drove down Alpine,
there is one house there and we are maintaining the road.
We are paying more than the cost of the house. Mr. Kornalis
replied, there are some roads we are maintaining because we
always have. City Manager Brighton suggested a work session
to discuss this.
MOTION, Postponement:
Councilman Ackerly moved, seconded by Councilwoman Bailie,
to postpone this item for a work session.
Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote.
B-4 Clarence Ladd, Senior Citizens. Regarding the Council on
Aging. They had a meeting 9-17. He told them if he could
not be heard he would speak to Council. He reviewed his
letter to Council. Regarding the flags, they were bought by
the Senior Citizens. He asked about the $32,000 grant money
at the Council on Aging. He was shot down. He suggested
the Vice President take over, that the President be
replaced. Why is it wrong to ask how the grants are being
used? Ord. 976-84 in the packet is for $923. He asked Mrs.
Porter what it was for. She said to pay it no attention. He
thought it was from the dinner at the Center, but it did not
say on the ordinance. The Senior Citizens got $15,000 for a
bua; $5,000 for communications - Fie does not understand
that; security - why do we not use police? Councilwoman
Bailie said she was at the meeting. The President left
after one hour as it was her lunch hour. The Vice
President gave Mr. Ladd the floor. Mrs. Porter answered
his questions. The $923 was donated, but had to go through
the accounting process.
Betty Warren - Vice President# Council on Aging. Whenever
Mrs. Porter prepares a budget, she offers it to the Council
on Aging and any senior citizen to review. She has seen
man; senior centers in the State, this is a good center.
Mrs. Porter is going a great job.
Marian Davis. They have enjoyed the senior center, but with
the now buildi:,g, they have had problems. Mrs. Porter has
not been good to the senior citizens. They do not want to
be treated like children. There is waste and destruction of
human rights. Hundreds of senior citizens have not been to
the center. She has talked to Mayor Wagoner, he promised
to get things worked out. Mrs. Porter has said she has no
control over the center and has no authority in the Council
on Aging. Why doesn't the Mayor disband it and not keep
their hopes up? How are the directors chosen? Do they
have to live with one forever? Who is next? Would you
expect good meals and would you let only the physically fit
come? She asked Finance Director Brown, how should Mrs.
Porter spend the $7,0007 Why does the number of senior
citizens at the center stay the same when so many are
moving in? She asked Councilwoman Bail!.;, being a friend
of Mrs. Porter, can she -give an unbiased opinion to Council
Q

regarding the Council on Aging? Mrs. Porter works a 40
hour week, does Ft. Keney and the museum. She is not
there all the time. The accoustics are bad. City Manager
Brighton is the man Mrs. Porter is responsible to, he hears
only Mrs. Porte;:. She suggested a Board of Directors.
Council took no action.

F-1 EMT Contract - Dr. Hansen - Approval of Changes
City Manager Brighton explained, his understanding was the
contract was with Dr. Hansen. Or. Hansen .has resubmitted
the contract with a request to contract with the clinic. He
felt this needed Council approval. Atty. Rogers explained,
this to a bookkeeping convenience, but the City would be
doing a personal service contract to an entity. The other
change is deleting Exhibit A, regarding training.
Councilwoman Bailie noted it is easier to have checks made
out to a corporation, and it is easier for IRS matters.
Atty. Rogers suggested it should specify services, it could
be left as is and make payments to the corporation.
Councilwoman Bailie suggested, the letter says that is the
reason for the change. Atty. Rogers explained, that is not
the effect.

F-2 Float Plane Basin land Purchase - Dick Mueller
Mr. Mueller explained, he offered land to the City for
�3,500 per acre for a float plane basin. 1/2 was appraised
et $2,000 some time back. This would have to be negotiated.
There will be about 824,000 cu. yds. of excavated material
to dispose of. Some of this land would be a place to
dispose of this. Some of it is wetlands and will require
permits. Phil Bryson recommended the City acquire the full
160 acres. City Manager Brighton explained, the property
was appraised after the $3,500 price was made at $2,000.
Council suggested negotiating with the owner. In the
interim, Council appropriated $25,00D to study the scope of
the project. They intended to use excavation from the lake
site to back fill on the airport apron project. If this is
an approved project by FAA, they will provide money for
purchase of the land. Councilman Wise asked if the RFP was
done, Mr. Kornelis replied no. They received preliminary
drawings on the ramp extension and have gone to FAA. They
will take material from this site for the ramp extension.
It will probably be Spring construction. Vice Mayor
suggested a meeting with the Airport Committee, Ray Measles,
Mr. Kornelis and Mr. Brighton.

eliminate that noise. They have to train somewhere.
Vice Mayor Measles noted most of the noise is from
those on the ground, not from "Touch -and -Go."

Discussion - Land Con&ct of Sales - Don Anse
Mr. Anse explained, he loaned this from the City in
Aug. 1983. He was trying to buy. He subdivided so he could
have financing. The AIDA loan came through, he had to use
that money. But he still wants to buy the land. He would
--„ =-
like to buy it with a land contract. Vic Tyler is in the
'
same position.
Vic Tyler explained, he wants to purchase land with the City
position on a deed of trust. When he developed the corner
he had it appraised and brought in a letter of intent. He
was led to believe he could purchase. If he cannot buy, it
is worth a lot less. The appraisal will be more through his
own development. The City will maintain control. If he
defoulta, the City could renegotiate the lease. The bank
will just get his contract.
Rogue Morgan, National Bank of Alaska. He has the loan with
Mr. Tyler. They have the piece of property taken as
collateral. They had a lease on the land after they had
deed of trust and assignment. The City made an amendment
to the lease which was to purchase. This did not change
their lease position. If an individual defaults to the
City the bank, by having an assignment, will take over the
payments. This has been done in the past. Atty. Rogers
explained the questions is -whether the City wants to deal
with a real estate contract rather than deed of trust. If
Council wants the City to be in 2nd position, they are
using public funds and are in a 2nd position to a private
entity. He suggested the City go deed of trust and get rid
of land sale contracts in the Lode. They may find
themaelven squeezed out and buying back improvements. Land
the City sold for $28,000 to $38,000 will have improvements
in excess of $1 Million. Why should the City deal with a
land sale contract that is less desirable than a deed of
trust if the lending institutions won't if they can avoid
it, and they will not take 2nd position? Mr. Tyler's
proportion already have AIDA loans against them. The bank
has let deed of trust on the building, the City has they
lease on the land. Mr. Tyler is nuking for the original
lease still in existence be amended to a land sales
contract. The bank hen the assignment. The City would

still be in lot lien position. In order to get AIDA loan,
Mr. Tyler would have to finance these 2 separate from AIDA
loan. Atty. Rogers said there have been 2 land sales
contracts. This was proposed by the beneficiaries. This
is a poor thing for the City. He would urge the Council to
ask people to cash the City out if they want to purchase.
It is not normal procedure with banks, he has asked many
banks if they would loan money under a real estate
contract, they said they would not want to be in the City
position. Mr. Morgan said if the bank has substantial
building on a piece of property, they will not stand by and
let the City foreclose. The bank will pay off, they will
protect their interest.
NOTIONS
Councilman Wise moved, seconded by Councilwoman Bailie, for
Administration to proceed with the requested land sale
contract with Don Asse and Vic Tyler provided by the Code.
Vice Mayor Measles suggested a work session. Mr. Tyler and
Mr. Asse agreed to the request. City Manager Brighton said
they will not need another appraisal if we delay. He added,
Alaska Industrial Hardware has also asked for the same
situation.

H. REPORTS
H-1 City Manager
City Manager Brighton spoke.
a. Mr. Brighton asked Council to review the memo from
Building Inspector Hackney regarding Code provisions.
b. Mr. Brighton and Mayor Wagoner had talks with Borough
Mayor Thompson regarding the incineration situation.
c. Regarding item C-8a, Change Order - Lake, Marine,
Granite Pt., FBO Project. He agreed with the change
order problem but not the funding. It should be a
separate project, and bid by itself.
d. Regarding the incineration situation. If the bond
issue passes, it will be the 1st step. The Borough
Assembly will make the determination of location.
Councilwoman Bailie suggested the City send a letter of
objection to DEC stating grave concerns if Beaver Loop
is chosen regarding water supply and emissions.
Communications have been very bad, DEC has not been
contacted. Councilwoman Monfor said it was brought out
in the media that Beaver Loop is the proposed site. If
the rest of the Peninsula sees Kenai has it, they will
not have to worry. We are the last to know. She
suggested taking an ad out in the paper asking to vote
against the ordinance. Councilman Wise suggested a
resolution asking for a delay on the vote of the

incineration project till the community receives notice
and assurances of safety. He suggasted the vote could
be postponed till the Nov. b election. Vice Mayor
Measles said 30 days ,till not solve anything, this is
desperately needed. Nobody on the Peninsula wants it
where they are. They will not build in the near
future. They will need DEC permits and public hearings.
Councilman Wise said if voters have been told it will
be in Beaver Loop that is fraud. Vice Mayor Measles
said the location has been picked unofficially.
Councilwoman Monfor suggested letting Borough
Administration know the City does not like the way
this has been done.
MOTION:
Councilwoman Monfor moved, seconded by Councilman Wise, that
Administration write a strong letter to Borough
Administration that we do not appreciate the way it was
handled, that we will not do anything publicly against the
bond issue. But there was a definite lack of communication
and the innuendo was that Beaver Creek would be the site.
Councilman Wise noted the Borough candidates at Chamber
lunch thought it was fine, they are all from North Kenai.
Councilwoman Bailie noted the City has heard nothing from
their Borough representatives. If the Borough had come to
the City, they may have had a piece of property they could
use. Vice Mayor Measles added, there may be 2 provisions in
the resolution that the Borough does not plan on complying
with. Councilman Ackerly suggested a resolution rather than
a letter, so it would be a permanent record.
