PUBLIC HEARINGS ij C-1 Ordinance 663-63 - Amending Kenai Municipal Code - Utility Locations in City's R:ght-of-Ways a. Second Substitute Ordinance 863-83 MOTION, Postpones Councilman Wise moved, seconded by Councilwoman Glick, to c postpone action till the Oct. 5, 1983 meeting, per the o n; wishes of the utility companies. Councilman Wagoner said this has been goion nn for many months. He suggested Council pass this and let them meet -' with Council. City Manager Brighton explained Administration has submitted a 2nd substitute. POINT OF ORDERs Councilman Wagoner said Council cannot discuss with a motion to postpone on the floor. 1_ -- Vice Mayor Measles denied the request, the explanation may affect the vote. Public Works Director Kornelis explained, the ordinance was -�: introduced May 4. On Aug. 3, the lot substitute was presented and deleted from the agenda without discussion. Administration has had a meeting with the utility companies, v the 2nd substitute includes some of their suggestions. Councilman Wise asked if the utility companies had been furnished with copies of the substitute. Mr. Kornelis replied yes, but they have not had time to review. He added �= he had no objection to postponement. Councilwoman Bailie asked if we had an effective ordinance now for Multivisions. Mr. Kornelio replied, we have an excavation ordinance. VOTE, Postponements Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote. C-2 Ordinance 870-83 - Establishing Public Use Easement - Candlelight Dr. Extension through City -Owned Lands MOTIONs Councilman Wise moved, seconded by Councilwoman Glick, to adopt the ordinance. y 0 T E9 KENAI CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 17, 1983 Page 3 There was no public comment. Councilwoman Glick said she had walked the area. She has the numbers of the light poles on the property. Also, Mrs. Jon*s did use this for a number of years. Even if it is parklanda there has to be access. Swires Rd. is not very good access, it will cost a considerable amount of money to upgrade. They are not asking for adverse possession, but merely to continue use. The City has maintained it to a degree. Councilman Wagoner suggested the City take 40 acres on the Oiler's side, release it from parklands and take 40 acres on the east to make it a contiguous piece of property. That would release that 40 acres for some kind of development. He would like to see a road in the center of the property. Atty. Rogers said he distributed a memo this date. He noted the last paragraph, if the City concedes to Burnett's request, we should proceed to obtain dedication from the Dept. of Interior. Vice Mayor Measles asked if there would be any problem with the land swap. Atty. Rogers replied, he saw it as permissible, but did not know if they would approve. Councilman Wise said it has become a source of problems because there are no homes there and there are parties and noise there. An easement would be a positive benefit. A transfer for park would have restrictions. The City has already violated the Code by dedicating a part as a borrow pit. If the Burnetts do not have an easement, they will have trouble with real estate financing for development. Councilman Ackerly replied, the borrow pit is not close. Atty. Rogers suggested approval from any Federal agencies. He noted the ordinance also puts the burden to perfect the easement on the Burnetts. MOTION, Amendments Councilman Wagoner moved, seconded by Councilwoman Bailie, to amend the ordinance to add, subject to permission from appropriate Federal agencies. Public Works Director Kornello asked that the word "minimal" be changed to "no," there has been no maintenance since 1977. He would hate to see the City doing streets that are not up to City specs. Council took no action on the request. VOTE, Amendments Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote. VOTE, Main Motion as Amendeds Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote. C-3 Ordinance 874-83 - Repealing & Re -Enacting Kenai Municipal Code 12.25 - Abandonment of Vehicles, Impoundment of Vehicles, Imposing Penalties; Repealing 6 Re -Enacting Kenai Municipal Code 21.05.050 MOTION: Councilman Wagoner moved, seconded by Councilman Ackerly, to adopt the ordinance.

Rogers replJad, in the ordinance it notes where the vehicle is abandoned, etc. and to on private property. No vehicle can be removed from private property without consent of the owner. That limits police power.

Substitute Ordinance 882-83 MOTIONs Councilman Ackerly moved, seconded by Councilwoman Glick, to adopt the ordinance. PUBLIC COMMENTs a. Carolyn Roller. The City is encouraging kids to stzy. She suggested making the canneries pay for this, keep the jobs for locals and make this a park. Councilman Wagoner said he has not found one person he has talked to that is in favor of this. It is not a proper way to spend the people's money. 2 year's ago, a City survey had } one question that asked if the City should build camper parks. 18% said yea, 82% said no. Councilwoman Hailie said she has received more calls against this than any other m KENAI CITY COUNCIL AUCUST 17, 1983 Page 5 item. She called Cordova, they said they have not been :successful In handling the problem. The kids will not stay In it. They have signs in Valdez saying not to come to Cordova unless they have a job. Both Cordova and Petersburg are accessible only by ferry, this would discourage many kids that could come here. Petersburg facility woo built 3 years ago with State money. It costs $17.50 a week to stay. They have been ouccessful keeping kids there, but they had to hire a policemen. It is open May 1 to Oct. 1. Kenai's would be open for 2 months. The biggest problems are before the canneries open. They can accommodate 100-150. They are at full capacity. They are trying to put more pressure on the canneries, we should also. There are 11 canneries in this area. 2 are on Kolifonsky, the kids working there could not live in the City. At the public hooring, the kids said we should not charge them, they pay taxes and do not stay long. Also they would disperse to the woods if we charged. The canneries should accept some responsibility. Columbia Ward closed an area that could house 55 campers. At the westing with the canneries, they said no. Job Service has said 1/3 of the cannery workers ere local, 2/3 are transients. We would need 250 camping sites minimum. Now are we going to enforce the regulations? She suggested posting signs at the border and Seattle airport saying there are no facilities in Kenai. That will put pressure on the canneries to provide facilities. Councilman Wise said we have no site plan or management plan. Councilman Wagoner noted if it were possible to do what we planned, it would bring in about $429000. He suggested private industry do this. Councilwoman Bailie noted it had been suggested we combine a tojsrist facility and camper facility. Petersburg has said that does not work.

PUBLIC COMMENTS a. Charleo Ross, Chairman of the Off -Road Vehicloo Committee. He noted some typographical errors. Councilman Wise asked if that included anowmobiles. Mr. Ross replied yes, any off -road vehicles, if it cannot be licensed for highway. Councilman Ackerly said it will be like pouting lends available for sale, nothing will change. They will have implied consent. Mr. Ross replied that is true in most areeo, but it is only important in residential areas and down town. He added, the only thingo that are changed from State law ores Go We have a meona of enforcement on newly seeded areas and during break-up. b. We can enforce in schools, playgreundo and public parka It does not change anything eloe, but adds rontrictions not in State law now, ouch an speed limita and helmets. Vice Mayor Meaalos caked if there woo a legal way to KENAI CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 17, 1983 Page 6 drive the vehicle to where it was legal ether than where there were gulleys, etc. Chief Ross explained this is under State law. It is more a priority of the Police Dept. to enforce. Vice Mayor Measles asked if they could drive on improved easements in front of residences. Chief Ross replied, if the land is improved, there would be a case. b. Woody Mahurin. He is not speaking for an organized group. He complimented the committee. This law can be lived with. His only question was that they cannot operate on the roadway. Snow machines were a problem in the past, but that has been controlled, this will be also. c. Chief Ross added he plans to have pamphlets made up for schools. He complimented the committee on their work.

C-8 Ordinance 084-83 - Amending Kenai Municipal Code 18.35.010 - Overnight Camping in Designated Areas MOTION: Councilman Wagoner moved, seconded by Councilwoman Bailie, to adopt the ordinance. There was no public comment. Councilwoman Bailie asked, how will this be enforced? Chief Ross replied,it will take time. The individual would get a warning, then issued summons, then the ;superty will be impounded. Councilwoman Bailie suggested the City send notices to universities and colleges on the West Coast stating an ordinance has been passed and they are warned. She was unable to get addresses of itinerant workers in the area. Councilman Wagoner said that is what they do in Anchorage. Librarian DeForest said they have flagged the cards of those with general delivery and have their permanent addresses. Councilman Wise asked if this will be for tents and vehicle campers. Atty. Rogers replied, both. City Manager Brighton noted many participants in the softball games camp here on the week end. They would be prohibited from this. Councilman Wagoner said this gives the City Manager authority to allow that. Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote.

A•' KENAI CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 17, 1983 Page 7 There was no public comment. Finance Director Brown explained they do not have a payment schedule. There may be a debt service due before the amount is collected, it would not be an on -going thing. Councilwoman Glick asked, if there is a contribution from general fund, would the funds be refmbursed7 Mr. Brown replied,the developer would pick up the total cost. The ordinance provides interest be accrued to the general fund. The general fund would be paid back. Councilman Wise said the City has $12 Million in cash investments, we should not burden future citizens. There will be a time when any major capital improvement will have to be financed by the City. The State is rapidly running out of money. Almost $4 Million is being invested, this may be better than TCO , percent. We are on the verge of flouting IRS regarding arbitrage. We are using money to make money. Councilman Wagoner said it is not wise to take money with the t flexibility the City has now and tie it up in assessment districts at 10%. -c+ VOTE (Poseed)s Yess Wagoner, Ackerly, Bailie, Measles Nos Wise, Glick C-10 Resolution 83-117 - Awarding of Boat Launch Ramp Improvements to Del -Her Inc. - $218,750 ; MOTIONS Councilman Wagoner moved, seconded by Councilman Ackerly, to Approve the resolution.

Councilman Wise asked why the engineer's estimate and low bid were so different. Mr. - Kornelis replied the engineer's estimate problem was tidal work and putting down new ramps. It was designed by a Seattle firm. They have done other work in Alacka, but they were possibly not up on local cots. They have been working on the technical end, not on construction unit costs. Councilman Wagoner added, this is a smaller project. VOTES Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote.
