PERSONS PRESENT SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD _ B-1 TAMS Representative - Small Boat Harbor, Concept Design Harbor Commission Chairman Williams introduced Mr. Lyman and Mr. Horton of TAMS. He said the Harbor Commission recently received an offer from Donald Fredrickson, to donate to the City all lands necessary for a barge facility for large draft barges if the City finances the dock facility. He would like to ask TAMS to do the study. The Harbor Commission has the funds available. Mr. Fredrickson owns 650 ft. of frontage. That was the first choice if the City had owned the property, it is prime property. 5 Mr. Horton, TAMS, reviewed the sedimentation study. They began the study in June 1982, finished in Sept. 1983. The results were encouraging. They had a better data base and took more time than Corps. of Engineers. Harbor construction has changed in the last 10 years. Corps. of Engineers does not want to fund dredging and maintenance any more. Some of the harbors in the State have much worse 1 sedimentation, but it is done by the Federal government. :f Also, the State will not help with the financing, we have to pay for it ourselves. Mr. Lyman, TAMS, gave a slide presentation of alternatives for the harbor. The demand is for commerce and recreation. They estimateds >, Commerce - 200 will want their own slip 190 will want a short term slip Recreation - 80 will use the facilities, primarily salt water boots The existing site is 80 acres of City land, the Coyle's land is an additional 30-35 acres. Union Oil has a line through "1 the land, it can be relocated but will be expansive. ' Alternate p1 - cost $25.6 Million. A divided basin with a wide entrance. The problems arcs the expansion would be on the Coyle property, and the gas line would have to be ;J relocated. The tight neck at the entrance would be bad. } }' Alternate p2 - cost $24.3 Million. There would be a wide entrance. They would not have to relocate, but would have to purchase the Coyle property. :1 KENAI CITY COUNCIL NOV. 16, 1983 Page 2 Alternate 03 - cost $23.4 Million. This would eliminate the divided basin. The problem is the location of the administration building. They would have tc purchase the Coyle property. Alternate #4 - cost $9.5 Million. Initial and subsequent dredging is a major expense. The pile -supported dock would eliminate this. The problem is the currents would be strong on the moored boats. The City wanted the boats out of the river, so this does not help the congestion. Alternate 05 - cost $25.6 Million. This would be a sheet pile revetment. There would be no purchase of property or moving of the line, but the congestion would still be there. There would be a sediment fan at the entrance. It would create erosion and an environmental problem. Dredging requirements on the alternatess d4 has none, the others are 50,000 to 60,000 cu. yds. per year. All have major facilities, alternate 04 does not have moorage. TAMS recommends #2 with modifications, that would cut the cost $19 Million to $20 Million. The advantages are, when the tide dries out, the sedimentation can be dug out. The sedimentation is still severe enough, TAMS suggests an entrance gate closed from Oct. 1 to April 1. This would cut the sedimentation 50:. M60 would be $587,000 without the gate, $350,000 with the gets. Revenues with an open channel - would be $650,000, these are the highest rates in the State. With seasonal closure, they would be $391,000. This is still high, but not as high. TAMS is working on a concept _.� for closure, they should have the answer in about a month. Councilwoman Bailie asked if Mr. Fredrickson would be willing to donate the land for the small boat harbor. Chairman Williams noted this was the first choice for the small boat harbor, but Mr. Fredrickson's offer was for barges. His interests are primarily financial, the ad*.,cent land is his and could be used for commerce. Mr. Horton said he felt there would not be an advantage as far as siltration problem. B-2 Pat Dye, Library Commission - Library Addition. The Library Comm. recommended expansion to the south of the library. It would be a split level, 10,400 sq. ft. Ic was suggested they finish 1/2 and do the other 1/2 later. This could be done, but they would prefer to have it all done at once. If one floor is to be done, they would recommend the downstairs first. The Library Comm. would ask Council for a resolution supporting construction. Councilwoman Bailie noted there were no costs listed. Mr. Dye replied they have no solid numbers. They are looking at $8,000 to $9,000, $100 to $110 per sq. ft. The upper limit would be $1-1/2 Million. He noted they are buying a building with very little furniture. The larger item would be shelving. City Manager Brighton noted a resolution had been passed regarding library expansion on the capital improvements list. He suggested waiting till after the next CIP work session. Council agreed to the suggestion. Chairman Dye said the commission was aware of the resolution, but they considered it important for the City to provide seed money for architect drawings to get it started. Mayor Wagoner said the Council would like to have a meeting with the Library Comm. and P&Z first to decide on the size. Then the design and engineering should be up front. KENAI CITY COUNCIL NOV. 16, 1983 ?aye 3 8-3 Travel Center, Anchorage - Application for Lease Space at Airport Linda Kerr, Travel Center, spoke. They purchased Peninsula Travel, who had submitted a request for floor space at the airport. They would like approval from the Council, they would like to open additional space in the City. They are advocates to the public with special fares. They are in North Kenai now. Mayor Wagoner asked if they were using the Dec. 6 letter (from Peninsula Travel) as a reason for lease? Ms. Kerr replied she would use that as a request, their hope was to be in the City airport after the expansion. She noted that in her Sept. 22 letter along with the Dec. 6 letter. She added, that letter became their property with the purchase of the business. Councilwoman Bailie said she would like to welcome them to the community. The City is proud of the airport facility, somewhere down the line they will have more space. She would be against putting another office in there. When other areas open, she would agree to it. MOTIONS Councilwoman Bailie moved, seconded by Councilman Ackerll, to agree to allow Travel Center space in the airport. Councilman Wise asked, where are the regulations on the terminal requested some time ago, regarding terminal and operations. Airport Manager Swalley said it about finalized. VOTE (failed): Yes s Wise Not Monfor, Wagoner, Ackerly, Bailie, Hall B-4 Float Plane Basin Proposal Gerald Sibley spoke. He has looked at the resolution regarding an Airport Commission and the ordinance requesting $200,000. He reviewed the resolution from the Chamber of Commerce. He has proposed a plan where the users would pay for it. He prepared a list of users, contacted 55 owners in one week. 22 said they would pay tie -down in advance. This shows the need for a ski tie -down in the area. He checked on the cost of a survey on the west side. There are 7 lots on the west side of the float plane basin, about 3 acres each. It would be $7,500 for the survey. Virtually all the FBO operators said they would use it. That would bring in about $53#000 per year. This could pay for itself. He contacted 2 local contractors who said $50,000 to $60,000 to clean up the float plane basin, level the south end for access and clear, level and provide for tower view. The problem with this concept is, due to procedures of the Council, it takes 3 or 4 months to get money from the City. The ski season is 5 months, by the time it is settled, it is too late. The resolution was for survey, engineering, platting and development. None for construction. Airport Manager Swalley had felt it should be less for survey. But we should start now for construction. Spring is the worst time to start a float plane basin. Digging in Winter would be cheaper. He recommended $20,000 to $30,000 for surveying, $80,000 for preliminary construction. City Manager Brighton noted the 9ppraisal on the 80 acres was distributed this date, the value is $160,000. KENAI CITY COUNCIL NOV. 16, 1903 Page 4 C.

He said Councilman Wise wanted 01 to be in a positive sense. Councilman Wise explained, it says we are subsidizing water h sewer, that is not the intent. We do not depreciate our assets. Mr. Brown said the subsidy is not set. He put it that way because this question is always asked. This is not an enterprise fund. Councilman Wise objected to writing to CPA's and not the public. Mr. Brown said the purpose of the document is to fairly present the finance picture of the City. The users are Council and bond people. He did not think the public ever asked for it. Mr. Brown added, #3, the capital improvement fund is from the sale of tax -foreclosed property. It went to $359000. A Code change closes the account. Council took no action.
