C-1 Ordinance 847-83 - Increasing Rev/Appns - Relocation of
Security Fencing - $37,500
MOTIONS
Councilman Measles moved, seconded by Councilman Ackerly,
to adopt the ordinance.
There was no public comment.
Councilman Ackerly asked, what fence is being relocated and
for what resson7 City Manager Brighton explained, the
original ADAP application went in front of Willow St., this
will include those inside the airport. Public Works Director
Kornelis explained, this is only a small portion, the rest
is ADAP. We may be able to get this from FAA if the bids are
low enough. All the lots are north of Willow.
Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote.
C-2 Ordinance 847-83 - Repealing and Re -Enacting Kenai Municipal
Code - Borough Revisions for Levy and Collection of Sales
Tax
MOTION:
Councilwoman Glick moved, seconded by Councilwoman Bailie,
to adopt the ordinance.
There was no public comment.
Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote.
C-3 Resolution 83-22 - Transfer of Funds - Maintenance
Agreement - Word Processors
MOTION:
Councilman Wagoner moved, seconded by Councilman Ackerly, to
adopt the ordinance.
There was no public comment.
Councilman Wagoner asked if this was a 12 month contract to
the next fiscal year or just the remainder of the year?
Accountant: Parnell explained, when we appropriated federal
revonue money, we approved for one year, the contract is
1
K
through Feb. 1984. Councilman Wagoner said we made a
mistake on appropriating that amount for federal revenue
sharing past July 1. It is not good fiscal management. He
added, City Manager Brighton will have to work out a budget
for the balance of the year to June 30. We should correct
now instead of later. What would happen if we just
provided service to June 30? Mr. Brighton replied we would
go ahead and hudnet for the fincnl year, onticipatinq
Council would appropriate for the next year. He added, he
did not know if they would contract for a 3 month period or
not. He spoke to Finance Director Brown who felt that this
was appropriate. Mayor Malston asked if we have previously
used Federal Revenue sharing for this. Accountant Parnell
replied yes, for the computer. Mayor Malston noted in past
years we have tried to stay away from Federal Revenue funds
for ongoing expenses. It should be in the regular operating
budget. Accountant Parnell replied, normally they are. But
usually they take it out of Federal Revenue the let year on
new equipment, then the departments take it out of their
budget.
MOTION, Amendments
Councilman Wagoner moved, seconded by Councilman Wise, to
amend the amount in each category to $350 which should cover
the quarter plus 4 days.
City Manager Brighton noted if we are required to pay 12
months in advance, the amendment prohibits us from doing
that. Councilman Wagoner said there is no requirement to
pay 12 months in advance on any maintenance contracts. We
elect to. Councilwoman Bailie asked, this is a one-shot
deal? Are the last 3 months included in the budget?
Accountant Parnell replied, yes, this is not good financial
budgeting, but Finance Director Brown did not write the
specs. City Manager Brighton explained, by doing it this
way we can have continuity with the 12 month contracts.

MOTIONS

adopt the resolution.
There was no public comment.
Public Works Director Kornelis explained this has been up 2
times, but there are changes. The 1st time he had
anticipated using City crews, but now the crews are too
busy. He Added, 4 people picked up the specs, but only one
bid. Mayor Malston explained, this is for the museum, but
we did not vote because we did not know what would happen
to the Fort.

of Powers from Borough to City
MOTIONS
Councilwoman Glick moved, seconded by Councilman Measles, to
adopt the resolution.
There was no public comment.
r
Councilwoman Glick explained that one of the negative
comments against this was that the Borough could take back
the powers. State statutes will have to be changed. A new
Administration could take the powers back after giving them
to a municipality. Councilman Wagoner said it is rather
' facetious of us to consider this resolution right after we
have sent a resolution to the Borough saying we are not
interested. This will also make the 3rd qo-around. Mayor
'J Malston suggested if this was passed, maybe Council would be
j interested in passing the other resolution. Councilman
Wagoner said there was more than one reason for not passing
the lot one.

to adopt the resolution.
l There was no public comment.
-- Public Works Director Kornelis noted Airport Manager
Swalley's letter, that he did not recommend doing the ramp
in front of the terminal. It is included in the
resolution.
MOTION, Amendments
Councilman Wagoner moved, seconded by Councilwoman Bailie,
to amend the amount from $18,348 to $16,680 and delete the
4th paragraph.
Councilwoman Glick asked, won't the ramp make access better?
Councilman Wagoner said some of the Council didn't think it
was that much of a problem. We should not spend that money.
Councilwoman Glick said we paid to have a good ramp put in,
but the ramp is not good. It is temporary. If this is not
adjusted, we will have to come back later, how much will it
cost its? Councilman Wagoner said the concrete has nothing
3
i%
1 to do with the street. The only thing missing is the wire.
iIt is not in the elements and will not bust up. Council-
woman GlicL said it should be done now. When the parking lot
was done we were supposed to do it right. Public Works
Director Kornelis said the original drawing called for a
building with a ramp. The only change was, the ramp comes
to the curb and has a guard rail with stairs. tor. Swalley
thought the ramp was steep, he asked Architect Gintoli to
get prices for stairs. Mr. Gintoli did not like this and
wanted to bring the road up, he came back with 2 prices.
Mr. :;urnelis had a question with the portion of ramp that
was cut out, the elevation would have to be checked. We may
have trouble with pondinq with the slope of the ramp. He
asked Mr. Gintoli if it could be done at a later date.
Also, a portion of the ramp area will be covered. We had
neglected to include engineering on this proposal. Council
told us to include this. inginaer LaShot had looked at the
situation and he agrees that if this ramp does not work out
y
we can change and it would not hinder the project. Council-
man Wagoner said Council discussed the reasons it was left
out and the costs of breaking out. Councilman Wise said the
idea was to put it as temporary till we put in paving.
Councilman Wagoner said we did not know if there would be a
problem with snow and ice. That way we could pull it out
j and replace or go with pavement. It was not meant to be
temporary .The reason for taking out the wire is if we had
to change it would be easier. Councilwoman Bailie said it
i is not just ramp access. There is another area that is
' completely flat that will be used 90% of the time. The
F.
possible danger area is very small. Councilwoman Glick said
i she is surprised that was not checked out before the
concrete was laid. Are we getting a rebate for the
difference between the temporary and good slab? Mr.
Kornelis replied the money was traded off for railings.
Councilman Wise said it bothers him that the slope was
raised to Council as a problem, now it is not. Mr.
Kornelis said Mr. Swalley was in favor of steps alongside
the terminal building. Mr. Kornelis did not realize we had
both.

Councilwoman Bailie asked about the extra plugs and the

Councilwoman Glick moved, seconded by Councilman Wagoner, to
adopt the resolution.
There was no public comment.
Councilman Wise said he had no problem with the design study
but when it comes to funding this, he cannot support
Richfield. There is no one livinq on it. There are people
who live on streets who need this more than land owners and
speculators.
Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote.

NOTIONS
Councilman Wagoner moved, seconded by Councilman Measles, to
adopt the resolution.
There was no public comment.
Councilman Wise asked to see this on a map. Public Works
Director Kornelis reviewed the names. He explained a lot of
these are the result of recent 2 projects that will have
water do sewer. There were a lot of subdivisions being
built. Watergate Way was a result of a request by Council.
Planning do Zoning meeting of Jan. 26 had a resolution for
this.

MOTIONS
Councilman Measles moved, seconded by Councilman Ackerly, to
adopt the resolution.
There was no public comment.
Councilman Wise asked, where is the utility ordinance that
this should relate to? Public Works Director Kornelis
replied, there was a meeting of the utility companies, it is
in draft form. There will be one more meeting. Because of
other public works projects, this has been set aside.
Councilman Wagoner said he thought it was important to have
it before them so they do not have the problems they had
last year. Councilman Wise said Glacier State identified
dead lines and missed some on Halibouty Rd., necessitating
tearing out 3/4 of the cables. This is a major problem that
is not in the resolution, it should be pointed out to the
Legislators. Atty. Rogers explained this resolution
attempts to be a scaffold rather than a shot gun.
Administration did not want to get into an arqument with
the utilities. That would be better related to APUC
hearings.
Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote.

Councilman Wagoner asked, why do we need the extra floor
socket? Public Works Director Kornelis replied, he talked
to the builders regarding this to put it behind the back
board. Then there would be an area for spectators. The
original bid did not have an extra socket and pole. He
has already ordered this, the cost is reasonable.

G-3 Discussion - Replacing Floors in Old Racquetball Courts
Public Works Director Kornelis explained, the wood in the
existing courts is separating. He contacted Mr. Slazy,
since he is putting in the floor in the new portion. This
is his quote. He had no recommendation. Atty. Rogers asked
that Council defer a decision on this. He felt that if no
notice wee sent to Hollman Courts, there was a one year warranty.
There may not be an extended warranty, it was not signed.
Hollman may be willing to do something about it. It was his
understanding time was not critical. Mr. Kornelis said Mr.
Blazy wants to ship the flooring with the other shipment,
but it is not critical. Atty. Rogers said it was his
understandinq Hollman was notified, but only verbal.
MOTION:
Councilman Wagoner moved, seconded by Councilwoman Glick,
that Council take no further action till the attorney has
exhausted all legal aspects to repair at no cost to the
City.
Councilwoman Glick said we have talked about the defect for
a year. With constant the constant use they are getting, it
puts wear and tear on the floors. How great is our
liability if something should happen? Atty. Roqers said the
courts do not constitute a danger. Something will have to
be done within a year. Councilman Wagoner asked if we would
have to replace the floors. Atty Rogers replied there is an
alternative, we could top nail and fill with putty. tor.

Kornelis said the man who is installing the new floors
recommended taking the existing floor and procure and
install a new floor over the old one. He added, this is
bench instead maple. It, is a clip system, no other
manufacturer has it. It is tongue and groove on the top of
styrofoam material. Councilman Wagoner said we are making a
presumption the floor In not repairable. We may be better
off repairing. Councilman Wise asked if we had funds for
this. Recreation Director McGillivray said we have in the
original construction funds S19,60n. We have costs on the
hot tub system, we can trade the wooden ones for the
fiberglass. We have all the figures except electricity, we
have a rough estimate on that. There is $9,600 available
that could be used for this.
VOTE, Postponements
Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote.
G-4 Discussion - formation of Library Commission
City Manager Brighton explained he attended a Library Board
meeting, they suggested eliminating the Board in lieu of
Council adopting an ordinance to provide for a commission
like the Recreation, Harbor, etc. What they want is an
opportunity to meet with representatives of the Council to
put together an ordinance that both sides can agree on. If
their board is constructed as the other commissions are,
they will have more influence. That is a legitimate
concern. He suagested staggering of new board members.
That way they will have continuity. Councilman Wise said
there is no necessity to sitting down. There are ordinances
that are pro forma. We could mark up one, submit it in
draft form and pass by Council. Mr. brighten explained they
were concerned that they wanted something they had input in
and wanted to have Council input. With a meeting there
would he nothing that was controversial. Councilman Measles
said we should have done this a long time ago. Mr. Brighton
said he will be discussing a work session in his report and
requested waiting till then.
Council agreed to the request.
G-i Discussion - Appointments to P&Z
Mayor Malston said there are openings on Borough and City
P&Z, and asked if this could be discussed at the same time.
Council agreed to the request.
Atty. Rogers reviewed the memo. He explained, the problem
that exists now is whether Mr. Castimore is still a member
nf P&Z. His decision is he is not since he has missed 3
consecutive meetings. None of his absences were excused.
Further proof - memos and Mayor O'Reilly's thank you
letter (written in past tense). Mr. Castimore had said he
would be absent. Mayor OiReilly treated it that way in
nominating a replacement. Council confirmed 4, not 3.
Atty. Rogers did not feel. Council has to confirm . He wished
to air this in front of Council so there would be no more
questions.

HOTIONs
Councilman Wagoner moved, seconded by Councilman Ackerly, to
confirm Bill Zubek for the P&Z Commission as recommended by
Mayor Malston,.
Councilman Wagoner explained the reason is he has
construction back ground and has know1cd;2 of what P&Z deals
with. He has also expressed an interest.
Motion passed by unanimous consent.
Clerk Whelan was asked to notify Mr. Zubek.
Mayor Malston requested Council if they hear of any
interested people to give their names to him or Clerk
Whelan so we have people to ask.
BOROUGH P&Z REPRESENTATIVES
Mayor Malston said, with Council approval, he would like to
submit the 3 names as listed on the memo in the packet.
Councilman Wagoner said this just points out why we need our
own P&Z. Why should we have to select 3 people so the
Borough Mayor, who lives outside the City, appoints a
member. Councilwoman Glick said that is the law. Until we
take all powers, it is theirs by statute.
MOTIONS
Councilwoman Glick moved, seconded by Councilman Measles, to
submit to the Borouqh the 3 names suggested by the Mayor for
selection on Borough Resource Planning & Zoning as the City
representative.

G-6 Discussion - Utilization of Airport Lands - Bob Bielefeld
Request
City Manager Brighton reviewed the memo from Airport Manager
Swalley. He said he did not necessarily agree with, but
there are questions the rest of Council should be aware of.
He did not disagree with the request, he has ordered an
appraisal. Councilwoman Glick asked if we had a concept
lease application submitted. Mr. Brighton replied no.
Councilwoman Glick said in the past, when we have had
requests dealing with FBO subdivision leases, it was made
to P&Z, they came back with a concept lease application and
was approved by P&Z. Mr. Brighton replied he agreed, but at
the last Council meeting he was directed to qet an appraisal
for this. Councilwomen Glick asked,why-when Mr. Bielefeld
came to the City -was he not directed to P&1 let? Also, she
finds we speak with forked tongue. We try to encourage
business but when an established customer comes in we make
it difficult. Reference is made to the back lot of Fabric
Center not utilized. When that lease was given, that was to
1 be maintenance & repair of aircraft and is not being
utilized. As for Bussell to make comments like that and not
try to accommodate an interested party, it bothers her. We
have had a concept lease application on others, we need to
be more consistent. Mayor Malston noted it wag his
understanding Bussell lease was taken back because it did
not qo ahead with the concept lease. Councilwoman Glick
said when we started through with that procedure, we had
9
4
sent letters to all that were not in compliance and started
procedures to take them back. Mr. Brighton explained,
Administration started proceedings and discovered it was an
earlier lease and was not a condition of the lease so they
did eat follow through. Some of the leases do not have
*hem. Councilwoman Glick asked, when we discovered that,
did we not go back to P&Z minutes to see what their intent
was? Then we could say they should continue and use as a
leverage. Mr. Brighton replied he doubted if we could.
Councilwoman Glick said regarding Mr. Swalley's questions.
Mr. Bielefeld has replied before. Regarding the taxiway,
this should have been discussed before. Mr. Bielefeld was
willing to pay some of the survey costs. She is sure Mr.
Bielefeld has reasons why the other lots are not amenable.
Mr. Brighton said it will depend on the appraisal which way
Mr. Bielefeld will go. He suk-mitted this to Council for
review. Councilman Wagoner said we should not go into the
business of telling business men what they want. Councilman
Wise said he objects to the letter as to whether it is
approved by Administration. We get a number of items that
are addressed to the City Manager with no comment. He has
to assume the City Manager approves. He would like to have
comments. Mr. Brighton said he tried to explain with this
memo. He is trying to be as fair as possible without
usurping Council. Councilwoman Glick asked Mr. Bielefeld if
he was satisfied, Mr. Bielefeld replied yes.
H. REPORTS
H-1 City Manager
City Manager Brighton spoke.
1. He has talked with representatives of Municipal Leaque
regarding SB-154, Public Employees Relations Act,
=
eliminating all local government who opted out of the
Public Relations act. The City of Kenai opted out
because it was a union -type situation. This puts them
back in the position of having to recognize and deal
with them. They have had one public hearing.
Fairbanks, Anchorage, Juneau spoke against. The over-
1
whelminq number were for it, were union represen-
tatives. There is a hearing in Anchorage at Legisla-
tive Information Office 3-19-83. He intended to appear
against this with Council approval. He has talked with
Homer A .Seward Citv Managers, Soldotna Mayor, Palmer
City Manager. He suggested a resolution opposing this.
There will be a state-wide teleconference 3-22-83 in
Soldotna. He would urge any that can go to Anchorage
or go to Soldotna to testify. He felt if it is passed
it won't mean employees will get more money, but it
will change the relationship with employees from that
-
time on. Administration has done resolutions on the
-
other 3 and written letters on supplemental DEC. Last
year when we got a bill on 10% retainage fee on all
—_
contracts, it came from a problem in Fairbanks that the
City could not get fixed. So they blanketed the State.
This is the same thing with Fairbanks and the Police
Dept. It is tragic they all must suffer for a local.
problem.
2. Tim Wisniewski has submitted a request for $5,300 for
start-up money prior to a budget request for $25,000
for next year. Mr. Brighton will send it to the
Recreation Commission first.
1n
3. Council has a letter from the Women's Resourr.e Center.
He thinks it deserves a work session. The budget
should be to Council by the lot or 2nd week in April to
start scheduling work sessions.
MOTIDNt
Councilman Waqoner moved, seconded by Councilman Measles, to
direct the City Manger To draft a resolution regarding
SR-154 objecting to the content of the bill.
Motion passed by unanimous consent.
H-2 City Attorney
Atty. Rogers spoke.
1. CLA' will be submitting a written plan of bankruptcy.
It is not the final say.
2. Regarding the Dolchok land swap. Mr. Dolchok's land is
encumbered. Atty. Rogers told him nothing will he done
till it is un-encumbered. We are working on lease
litigation. We are aekinq the Courtier reinstate us
by voiding the lease so we will have a recordable
document.
3. Regarding SB-67. Council has a letter regarding this.
He spoke to Nikki Gilman as to why we are not getting
notices. She said there are none. He spoke to Ginny
Chitwood, Municipal League. She did not testify. He
asked for a phone call the night before if necessary.
If we get any notice, it will be real short.
H-1 City Manager's Report, Addition
City Manager Brighton said he had one more item for the work
session. We have asked FAA to release lands on the north
side of Lawton to permit residential building lots. They
are in the process of releasing these. Also the west side
of Walker Lane. He would suggest we move the green zone
back 150 ft. to permit residential construction there. These
would make about 40 additional lots available. Mayor Malston
asked that it be cent to PAZ. Councilman Wise asked if they
could send as-builts for water & sewer. Mr. Brighton
replied there are no stub -outs on that side of the street.
H-2 City Attorney Report, Contd.
4. Councilman Ackerly asked, is there anything new on
Cable TV. Atty. Rogers replied, he has not heard a word
since the meeting with Mr. Uchitel, his attorney and
chief engineer at the airport. Atty. Rogers told them
his feelings and offered to hear their feelings as to
any kind of incentives. They said they would be back
with suggested alternatives to his suggestions. (this
use a percentage of the gross). They did not like that.
They have had much time to come up with alternatives.
He told them he would recommend we not enter into any
agreement with them. Councilman Measles said he, Mayor
Malston, and City Manager Brighton have been invited
to come up March 28. Councilman Ackerly asked, don't
they have one year to do something? Atty. Rogers
replied, he did not recall. They have been having
problems in Anchorage. Councilwoman Glick said Council
should remember Council took a position which company
they preferred, predicated on actions in Anchorage. We
did not support them at the hearing. Atty. Rogers said
11
r,+
rm
he was approached by At•ty. Sarisky about Soldotna.
Atty. Roqers suggested that since they were the some
company and coming off the same site, we should share.
A concerted front would be conducive to a better

Kf_NA CITY COUNCIL, REGULAR MEETING
MARCH 16, 1983
PARTIAL TRANSLATION
H-2 Attorney's Report
Councilman Ackerly asked is there anything new on Cable TV.
Atty. Rogers replied, he has not heard a word since the
meeting with Mr. Uchitel, his attorney and chief engineer
at the airport. Atty. Rogers told them his feelings and
offered to hear their feelings as to any kind of incentives.
They said they would be back with sugqested alternatives to
his ouggestions (his was a percentage of the gross). They
did not like that. They have had much time to come up with
alternatives. He told them he would recommend we not enter
into any agreement with them. Councilman Measles said he,
Mayor Malston, and City Manager Brighton have been invited
to come up March 2A. Councilman Ackerly asked, don't they
have one year to do something? Atty. Rogers replied, he did
not recall. They have been having problems in Anchorage.
Councilwoman Glick said Council should remember Council took
j a position which company they preferred, predicated on
j actions in Anchorage. We did not support them at the
hearing. Atty. Rogers said he was approached by Atty.
Sarisky about Soldotna. Atty. Rogers sugqested that since
they were the samal company and coming off the some site, we
should share. A concerted front would be conducive to a
I better agreement.
` Council discussed inviting the Cable TV people to the
M March 28 work session. Atty. Rogers noted he has joined a
sub -committee of municipal attorneys regarding cable TV so
he has access to information.
