Substitute Ord. 1000-84 MOTIONS Councilwoman Monfor moved, seconded by Councilman Ackerly, to adopt the ordinance. PUBLIC COMMENTS a. Clarice Kipp, Kenai. She has lived in Kenai 30 years and has raised 5 children here. One of the incentives for them to learn to write was to get a library card. Their youngest is attending the Community Collego and uses the library extensively. The College has an impact on the library. Citizens of Kenai are not the only ones using the library. There are 8,000 library patrons at this time. This growth points up the need for an addition. It is splitting at the seams, the children's hour io audible throughout the library, the books need shelves. Referring to the statement that microfilm and computers will make this unnecessary, they are used for storage of recordo, they do -not take KENAI CITY COUNCIL DECEMBER 19, 1984 Page 3 the place of books. These technical aids belong in the library as aids, not as the primary function. We need more resource material for the College and community. The building there now would be for juvenile and easy reading. If most people read at the 6th grade level, this is needed. There is no proven rate of use for the community center, there is a proven rate for the library. If this is delayed for 2 to 3 years, costs of the building will increase considerably. There were 560 hours of volunteer labor in November, this would be $6,000 per month in City costa. These people donate $6,000 per month and want 4.o do more, they should have a place to do it in. Mayor Wagoner added, there are 66,000 volumes checked otst annually. Mrs. Kipp noted 4,360 people used the library in one month. Mayor Wagoner noted this is 8 volumes per patron per year. b. Troy Castimore, Kenai, Library Commissioner. She noted the number of books checked out does not necessarily show the number of books used. She said there have been contradictory remarks in the paper. This is the 3rd set of drawings for the library. When the topic came up again, the Commission thought this was all the money they were going to ask the State for. Now it is the total amount. The Commission assumed there was $868,000 for the addition. Council approved the additional moneys for the architecture. Ord. 1000-84 was introduced, drawn up by Administration and recommended by Administration. In 2 weeks it has gone to $400t000+. Furnishings requested by Librarian Deforest were $49,000. This was $100,000 for just the I, 2nd floor. Librarian DeForest wanted this for both floors. Why wasn't contingency brought up when the ordinance was introduced? The square foot estimate was requested at $100 sq. ft. Now it is $56 sq. ft. We should not pass this up. Does the book referred to (The Time Saver, Standards for Building Types) give �ff the square foot figures for a gymnasium, community center or a golf course? Kenai is not average, their IIIIII library is not average. To continue to oxcel, we must keep pace. If we keep average standards, we will have an average library. If things go well, it could come in under $100,000 in Ord. 1000-84. Mayor Wagoner said there are 2 different figures. $291,000 was laid unit I including $140p000 in the ordinance, $51,000 re -roofing for $191,0011 total. The total for furnishings is $1009000. The estimate is for 10,000 sq. ft. $4439000 -- was the figure Council would amend to $291,000. Council would ve spending over the original maximum they would 1 allow. Mrs. Castimore asked, what did Council intend KENAI CITY COUNCIL DECEMBER 19, 1984 Page 4 to do with the $168,0007 Was that to be spent on the library? Mayor Wagoner explained that was accepted after they decided to revamp the facility. It has been accepted by Council. Councilwoman Bailie said, regarding the furnishings. She checked with Anchorage, what is the approximate size library for this size town, and what is furnished. They said metal shelving is being phased out because of rigidity. It is not as servicable. Librarian OeForest had said what she ordered was 03 for earthquakes. Councilwoman Bailie contacted the Palmer Seismological Observatory. A representative there said in order to register on the earthquake scale an earthquake has to be 3. From 1973 to 1984 Kenai had 38, Homer had 74. She checked the stacks in the library and they really move. Palmer bolts theirs to the floor and the walls, and they still move. Most of the big books are at the top. We are looking at at least $1509000 for stacks. Mrs. Castimore said Librarian DeForeot has said she would take the library unfurnished rather than give up the 2nd floor. Mayor Wagoner agreed the library is undersized for the services provided, but there are a lot of things this community should have. c. Ron Chappel, Kenai, Library Board Member. It would be foolish not to b";ld at this time. Public Works Director Kornelis has recommended approval, the space to needed and should be used for library purposes. You can prove anything with statistics and public opinion polls. Regarding Mayor Wagoner's letter to the Clarion. The 15,000 figure (for library service) to too low. This includes voting precincts near the City and Nikiski, but Tustemena and Kalifornsky should be added. That to a figure of 18,000 and growing at a feet rate. 159000 sq, ft. will be barely adequate when complete. It should be based on what is stored there. The addition would only hold what we have, we are enlarging at 10000 volumes per year. There are other libraries here, but who wants to bring people in the schools or keep open after hours? The college library is for students. It would be poor policy to change that. People who buy books buy other items in town. It will draw people to the community. Re arding additional operating costs, if this was 1,000 lower, we would not have a discussion. But the operating costs would be the same. The library to the only City service provided by volunteers. They have only asked for a lot claaa facility. As for spending $440,000+ over, he does not recall promising the Legislators we would stay at that. Why did we not . .... :..""'a/f�I1R/�raysz�.��✓�- a�`i/iYli��,���_ --- _ - - - - iirii������c� KENAI CITY COUNCIL DECEMBER 199 1984 Paye 5 return $168,000 we got later? We need an additional 03,500 to finish and $100,000 to furnish. Mayor Wagoner suggests we have overspent by $300,000+. $100,000 is contingency and he naoumes we will spend it. City Hall, Senior Center and the Airport Addition did not come in close to spending the contingency. A large share of the $100,000 for the addition can be covered by contingency. Mayor Wagoner has inflated with $51,000 for re -roofing. Public Works Director Kornelis has said the roof does not leak. The cost is relatively high, compared with other builders. The City will need $130,000 to $140,000 to build. The City can afford this, they have $10 Million unencumbered surplus. It is less than the deficit proposed by the community center annually and the interest lost in FAA lands with the FAA building. Regarding the statement that the library was not listed as a capital improvement in the poll. The community center was #6, the golf course was 07. It is unfair to charge current maintenance costs to this. If you want to furnish with earthquake -proof furniture, okay, but replacing the existing furniture should be separate. Population figures say the library is justified. The sewer treatment plant has excess capabilities. We built when we had 40000 people, it is for 8,000 people. Mayor Wagoner said, regarding population base comparison, there is 39850 sq. ft. at the college. Soldotna's is small, but will expand 39800 ft. If Mr. Chappel adds every area, he will add every library. d. Paul Turner, Kenai, Library Commissioner. Council becomes involved in pet issues rather than listening to people. Relevant to comments received, this is important to the people, The Revenue Sharing list shows decisions are not relevant. Why is the library last? We spent much on recreation. The amount is not 1 that "big of a deal." Councilwoman Bailie explained, it was agreed between the Library Commission and the Council regarding Revenue Sharing, Librarian DeForest would oak for $9,000 for microfilming. Council decided to go ahead and anticipate a 2 floor addition. If it did come in under budget, the $9,000 would be used for that. Dr. Turner said the general theme of the City is strip development and "Let's bring in big business." The theme is lack of support for the library. Mayor Wagoner asked if 5,000 sq. ft. addition plus re -roofing plus refurnishing is a lack of interest? Dr. Turner -- replied yes, compared to other projects. Mayor Wagoner - baid the library has gone out to the pooplo for a vote once, the community center has gone out 2 times and KENAI CITY COUNCIL DECEMBE_R 19, 1984 Page 6 hou been approved both times. Councilwoman Bailie said, regarding the community center. When they lot asked for plans, it was 20,000 to 25,000 sy. ft. The Committee said it was too large, it was re -done at 17,000 aq. ft. with expansion able. This Council in concerned about building monuments. Of Kathy Heus, Kenai, Library Commission Chairman. She expressed appreciation to those that havo spoken and to Council. Council has heard many comments, have researched and searched their souls on this. f. Carol Brenckle, Asst. Public Defender. When she was offered this job, she had a list of priorities. One wais the library. Librarian DeForost io highly regarded in the State. No. Brenckle has been a librarian. She gets to speak to juveniles, books are an important part of their lives, and are important as adults. She is impressed with Kenai services. It could and should coot more than it door. The volunteers save the City $7,200 per year. The library is more than books, it is a place to read. The present one is inadequate. The 2nd floor is needed now, not in 10 years. Libraries have always been important in Alaska. Alaska needs are different than those in the States. We are highly literate, our needs are greater. g, Betty Glick, Kenai, KPB Councilwoman. In reading the papers, Council would make the decision booed on Soldotna and the College library, The Soldetna library may expand. Past Councils have worried if Soldotna elopment would affect Kenai. The City has had a positive attitude to entice developments FAA - people and the tax base; Pioneer Home - people; Community Center (this was voted 2 times); land swap for HEA. Suddenly we will not do something for the library at this small additional amount because of the Soldotno addition, When we first built City Hall, we could have .., had $100,000 more, Because we were not trying to build a "Taj Mahal" we did not take it. It was not very long when all Councilmembera agreed we made a mistake, It will coot more in 5 years. As for excess upsce, all of our buildings are being filled up sooner then anticipated. With the Roc Center, the gym was built _ sooner than anticipated because of a Qood price, The Borough building was built 3-story when it woo not needed, now it is over -used. We will never get a --- better price than now. Regarding a satellite library, Soldotno and the College could be uatellitea. This is a community library and serves a large area. KENAI CITY COUNCIL DECEMBER 19, 1984 Page 7 Regarding maintenance coats, we should look at different staff vs the addition. To this, there is a number of other projects the City is looking at. We should re -think our enticement to FAA and put it into life-osvi►,g projects (such as streets, satellite fire station, etc.) Even with equipment it is a smell price to pay for the learning of children. Councilwoman Aailie asked if we should only consider Kenai population and not the other areas? Mrs. Glick replied no, the library is used by more than Kenai. If we want people to continue coming into Kenai, we should have a better facility. An Anchorage person said we should use a co-op collection development - using the College library, the school libraries and the other community libraries as a co-op. Councilwoman Bailie said we need to consider other libraries, but she would like to see Kenai as the center. Mayor Wagoner said the Council has to weigh this with other needs. There could be a different group of people in here next week with new problems. h. Librarian DeForest said she would like the 2-9tory addition but not the re -roofing or the book shelves. Mat -Su Borough gust built a new library with metal shelves. There are petitions out that she had nothing to do with. There has been a big push for collection development, she has had someone in to approve this concept. Kenai is on the Washington Library Network, We are forwarding agent for all libraries on the Peninoula on inter -library loan. It takes a long time to get through that oystem. Alaska computer network would speed this up, She would like to shelf by size, but cannot. Councilwoman Bailie noted one volunteer cut herself on a metal shelf. Librarian DeForest said they have 90 in, shelves, we should not use the top shelf, but do. If we put all the gooks we have now in the new addition, we would not have any additional space. We need double what we have. They were set uo in 5 sections of shelves, we have 6 on each for apace, it is not safe. Councilwoman Bailie said Mrs. DeForest had said 10,000 sq. ft. was enough and she was against the 2nd story, why? Mrs. DeForest explained she did not think they could handle it. They can handle it in a divided building. Supervision by a paid employee is within earshot. Mayor Wagoner noted the old library woo 2200 sq. ft. I. Carmen Gintoli, Kenai resident 7 yoara. He is speaking - as the architect and so a citizen. We de not need the arctic entry or re -roofing. The Council is doing a 'i KENAI CITY COUNCIL DECEMBER 19, 1984 Page 8 good job. He recently visited a town in Connecticut with a 24 mill levy, and a town in Florida with a 28 mill levy. We pay 1.9, that is great. Council has been very prudent. It would be unwise not to pay at $59 sq. ft. difference. Councilwoman Bailie asked, why was the roof put on the proposal? Mr. Gintoli replied, preventive maintenance and additional insulation. Mrs. OeForest said the library was built in 1976. Their gas bill was $463 last year, insulation is good. Councilwoman Bailie noted the Fine Arts Center roof suddenly started leaking. Preventive maintenance is a good idea. What is the track life for this roof? Mr. Gintoli replied, 20 yrs. at that time. It depends on the roof. Some are 10. We could buy a guarantee. Mayor Wagoner noted we were repairing a small spot on the Fine Arts Building but had to do the whole thing. He added, Council did not say they would do it if there was additional money, they said if the bid came in low, they will do it if possible. Councilman Measles said when the added alternate was turned down on the City Hall., everybody regretted it when they first moved in. We have a similar situation here. If the shelves are unloaded, there is no problem with metal shelves. He added, Kenai is not in the same seismic district so Palmer. Mayor Wagoner said the grant is to build what is needed, not what is wanted in the future. Kenai is not having 10:-12: growth, it is having 33: growth in the surrounding area. He added, the arctic foyer is needed. Councilman Wise said we have not heard from anyone in the audience that has opposed the 2nd story. Councilwoman Monfor noted Council had said they would only build the 2nd story if it came in underbid. We are looking at an unknown contractor and unknown change orders. We have an obligation to the rest of the citizens and to the future needs of the City. All those testifying (except one) have been library volunteers or commission members. Unless it sticks out like a "sore thumb" people do not come in to Council. She is worried about what other taxpayers want and will not get. We could get a satellite fire station or enlarge City Hall. She added, the library roof should not be on this, it should be maintenance.

There was no public comment. Councilman Wise asked about the small projects mentioned. Airport Manager Ernst explained, adding the terminal building to the emergency generator system and putting the PA system in the rest rooms. All the terminal building will be on the system, the generator can handle this. Motion passed by unanimous consent. C-S Application for Liquor License Renewal - a. Peninsula Moose Lodge b.

Mayor Wagoner asked that Administration prepare a rebuttal FJ KENAI CITY COUNCIL DECEMBER 19, 1984 Page 10 and send copies to Council. Councilwoman Monfor asked, if Council is presented with a petition for annexation, is it our obligation to go forward? Atty. Rogers replied, yes. E-2 Enstar - Purchase by Seagull Energy Corp. E-3 Gov. Sheffield - Union Oil Disposal of Drilling Mud Approved by Consent Agenda. F. OLD BUSINESS F-1 Church/Paxton Bowling Alley Lease Amendment Land Manager Labahn requested Council evaluate the proposal and reach a decision. P&Z recommended concurrence and left the safeguards up to Council. PUBLIC COMMENT% a. Frank Paxton. Mr. Paxton reviewed the proposal. They will change the quonset but appearance and the sides. There will be a stone effect around the building. They are looking at a 90 day time schedule to complete the metal structure. If the facade and outer skin are not complete, they would put up a bond to Kenai and use the facade section as 2nd phase. The building is 120 ft. by 161 ft. Mayor Wagoner noted the building code requires a structural engineer to approve the structure. Mr. Paxton said it will be done by a licensed engineer and the manufacturer of the building. They have had an engineer look at the proposal. There is additional post system. It is not required by the engineers, but it will look better. The columns will play a part in the building look. Mayor Wagoner asked, when they applied for the lease, why did they feel they could opt to replace with a metal building? Council was hesitant at the time about releasing the property. They were not sure it was the highest and beat use, it is highly visible. Mr. Paxton replied, it was not their intent. Originally they intended to build on at a later date. Mayor Wagoner asked if they had an accounting of funds in the project at this time. Mr. Paxton replied he could get it from their bank. b. Lou Schilling, Kenai. He is a builder in Kenai and has a commitment to the adjoining 15 acres. He does not want this to hurt what he will do. Council owes it to the community and the rest of the investors to stand by what they say. KENAI CITY COUNCIL DECEMBER 19, 1984 Page 11 C. Dan Hakkinen, Kenai. This is just a drawing. He does not object to a bowling alley, but this is a prime piece of property. We do not have to put up something controversial. They are bound by their lease agreement, if they have to tear it down, that is their cost. d. Doug Emory. Why is their building 1/4 mile down the road from the Chrysler building - that is steel and no is complaining. Mayor Wagoner explained, that came to P&Z first and was approved. Mr. Emory noted they are both metal. Mayor Wagoner replied, this was not approved. e. Ed ►awry, Kenai. What will happen to the 27,000 ft. of snow on this? Mr. Paxton replied, between the facade and the roof there is 18 in. for snow to shift, it is designed for that. f. Eddie Turner, Peninsula Savings & Loan. They have reviewed this. They looked at other pre-fab buildings here. The roof is safe. They submitted this to SBA for review. They have submitted this to outside investors. This type of building is best for roller rinks, bowling alleys, etc. This blends well in other places, and will be compatible with other structures in the community. Mayor Wagoner asked if they reviewed the lease of the property. Mr. Turner replied no, he was out of town when it was approved. SBA and the outside investor also missed it. There is in excess of $100,000 invested at this time. He asked Council to specify what they want done and they will ensure it is followed. Mayor Wagoner asked, including going back to the original project? Mr. Turner replied, they would recommend going outside of the City in that case. If they did not have so much money invested, he would not. Mayor Wagoner noted, most of the money is in the purchase of the building. Councilwoman Bailie said if we allow this, we are opening the door to others to do this. They should move the building to another piece of property or construct the original building. Councilman Wise said Administration issued the building permit that is in violation of the lease. Also, if Mr. Paxton purchased the land, the City would lose control. They have not made an effort to buy the land. They have offered to bond in escrow till the facade is complete. Mayor Wagoner replied, a building permit can be issued with nothing more than an estimate of cost and hand -sketched floor plan. Atty. Rogers added, a building permit does not list where it will ■I I, 1 KENAI CITY COUNCIL DECEMBER 19, 1984 Page 12 be. That is not an issue here. He has no problem making the lease agreement part of the sale agreement. Councilman Wise noted only lessees have a site plan review, Atty. Rogers said we could put covenants in a sale document. What is before Council is a lease application and modifications. Mr. Paxton said they do not want to get around the requirement by buying the land. They want to make it as decorative so possible. Mayor Wagoner noted there is 16,000 to 18,000 ft. of construction plus $36,000 in concrete there. With the cost of the siding, rock work, parapet, etc., it would be a wash to do that or move. Councilman Measles noted they have brought to Council what Council asked for. Councilwoman Bailie noted Council said they would not approve or disapprove it. ADDED ITEMs Councilwoman Bailie suggested a work session for approval of site plans on leased and purchased property. Councilman Measles asked, if you did not know there was a metal building under that, would they approve it? Mayor Wagoner said an artist's rendering is misleading. Councilman Measles asked, how many buildings has the City approved on artist's rendering? MOTIONS c Councilman Measles moved, seconded by Councilman Ackerly, for approval of modification. VOTE (Failed): Yost Ackerly, Messles, Wise Not Wagoner, Bailie, Monfor Tie vote fails. �i City Manager Brighton said he would ask Council to get this i; resolved as soon as possible. Council will establish a i policy that was in Kenai - nobody wanted to build in Kenai because j the red tape. Council has gone a long way to genersto cr,werce. Government could not function without commerce. That is where the major income comes from. If you let them build outside the City, you will find _- yourselves in the position of no money. He doubted if 1 Council would have objected if this had been proposed first. 6 9ENAI CITY COUNCIL OECEMBER 19, 1984 Page 13 The land is ieaaed, the City exercises almost complete control over a benefactor of the community. Council is making a major decision regarding policy on development. Mayor Wagoner said he voted against it because it says nothing about bonding, assurances, etc. NOTION, Reconsiderations Councilwoman Monfor moved, seconded by Councilman Wise, for immediate reconsideration of the motion. VOTE ON Reconsideration (Passed): Yess Ackerly, Messles, Monfor, Wise Nos Bailie Councilwoman Bailie said we need checks and balances. We do not ask to "jump through hoops," we ask for a lease plan, etc. They did not do this. She has a responsibility to the citizens and resents the threat of going outside the City. Councilman Measles rsted P&Z has approved this. Councilwoman Bailie said they put the "monkry on our back." Councilwoman Monfor said this is a quonsst ilut with dressing on it. She would like to think they did not do this on purpose. She likes the concept of the building, but not the quonset but underneath. Councilwoman Bailie asked, the facade is 18 in. from the structure? Mr. Paxton replied yes. Engineers said they could run trusses over the top and would still be within tolerance but they wanted the snow to slide off. Councilwoman Bailie noted snow and weather could reach from both sides, what will happen in 5 to 10 years when it begins to rot? Mr. Paxton explained, it is all steel, treated plywood is over that. VOTE on Approval (Passed)s Yost Ackerly, Measles, Monfor, Wise Not Wagoner, Bailie MOTIONS Councilman Measles moved, seconded by Councilwoman Monfor, to pursue a cash bond and completion date prior to construction commencement. FRIENDLY AMENDMENTS Councilwoman Monfor moved, with consent of Councilman Measles, to specify exactly what they are going to do, finish before occupying, everything on the rendering, cash r F f{a KENAI CITY COUNCIL DECEMBER 19, 1984 Page 14 bond and will not occupy till done. Land Manager Labahn explained, we need a time table. The structure was to be completed by Dec. 31. 1st phase would be the main building, 2nd phase would be the facade. ADDITIONS Councilman Measles moved, with consent of second, to proceed with construction, final agreement would be prepared by Administration for Council approval. Land Manager Labahn said they can go forth with construction, all amendments will be ironed out at the next meeting. Mayor Wagoner said he would like to see a cash bond as part of that. Mr. Turner asked if they could escrow funds. They could escrow themselves and put in another account. When it is complete, they could disburse then. They may have to resubmit to SBA, he would like consideration on that. Land Manager Labahn suggested a meeting with the lessee and lender before the Jan. 2 meeting. Councilman Measles noted, by not approving the amendment, we can cancel the lease on Dec. 31 for non-compliance. Atty. Rogers explained, till you make an amendment he is under the old lease. If he proceeds, it will be at his own risk. AODITIONs Councilwoman Monfor moved, with consent of second, if they finish building and weather prevents finishing, as long as we have bond they can proceed with business. Att-. Rogers said Council should set the amount of the bond, VOTE, Main Motion with Additions (Passed)s Yeas Wagoner, Ackerly, Measles, Monfor, Wise Nos Bailie MOTIONS Councilman Wise moved, seconded by Councilwoman Monfor, that before issuance of a building permit relative to City leased land that Administration shall determine that the structure (a) being permitted, reasonably correspond to the lease terms. Councilman Wise explained, if the lease is made available to 1 1 1 jaw I KENAI CITY COUNCIL_ DECEMBER 19, 1984 Page 15 the building inspector, they can determine if it is subject to lease. Atty. Rogers said he had asked for architecture certification , Council did not approve. That would enforce compliance without burdening the building inspector and put the cost on the developer and alleviate additional liability on the City if something was not in compliance.
