PERSONS PRESENT SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD 8-1 John Williams - Small Boat Harbor Harbor Commission Chairman Williams explained he has put a lot of paper in front of Council for them to review for the next meeting. of Boat Ramp. Harbor Comm. met 12-6-83 with TANS Representative Mike Horton, Engineer LaShot and Councilman Ackerly. They listened to both sides of the question regarding Engineer LaShot's letter to TAMS. All were covered satisfactorily, the letter to Council distributed this date reports on this. This entire d project was asked to be done with minimum cost. The idea was to build something that we could use all materials on other projects at a later date. The job s came in over -bid. It was estimated at $150,0009 it came in at $200p000+ with $13,000 over -run. The Commission concluded it was becauses - Lack of bidder interest in competing for the ; work. Contractors were busy with other jobs. - Bonding was difficult to obtain for marine work. There were 3 bidders for the job. The out of town builder was the best and the low bidder. The Commission wee pleased with the job, they had a aub-committee that took pictures and checked it out. b. The Fredrickson proposal for a barge facility. The Commission asked TAMS to do a study of the cost. The City will not be involved in thin, but the City may be asked to sell development bonds. It is common practice for government agencies to review the feasibility of projects for private industry. The City will not get into the dock business. The Corps. of Engineers is spending millions of dollars in the State. In the midst of a recession, the Anchorage dock has 11: more in revenue then last year, work is up. The estimated cost of the study is $25,268. If this is developed, this will be seed money. Funds can be taken from the original grant on the river study, there is a balance of $87#000. He asked Council to review this and act on it at the Dec. 21, 1983 meeting. c. Reynolds do Lloyd Proposal, public relations. There are 5 regional projects in the Capital Improvement List. The Commission was concerned how to put the project forward and not appear to say theirs was the only one to be built. The idea was to have a public relations firm for all the projects. He contacted Reynaldo & Lloyd, they recently did the port facility for Nome. 211� l ' i I CITY OF KENAI DECEMBER 7, 1983 Page 2 They are not a lobbying group. He asked Mr. Lloyd to prepare an estimate, it is $16,975. That is 1/3 of 1% of the total capital improvement projects cost we are asking for (i7 Million). For that they have agreed to: - A slide presentation - Speeches at chambers, etc. - Press releases - Stories for the media The State will spend several million dollars on capital improvement projects. In the past Kenai has done without. Funding for the City should have been $12 Million, we received $600,000. Anchorage received over $200 Million, over 1/2 of the State total. We have not gone out and produced our story to the State. We have spent money on projects that have produced less than that. Councilwoman Monfor asked, was this the only company contacted? Chairman Williams replied yes, they did not seek bids. Some times you take a look at services offered. This does not require a bid. 8-2 Ed Lowry - Amended Lease - Sprucewood Glenn Subdivision Mr. Lowry said he has been talking to Land Manager Labahn regarding splitting his property into 3 parcels and purchasing the rear parcel. Mr. Frykholm did an appraisal. Mr. Labahn is preparing the leases. He would like to purchase the rear 1/2 of the property, rather than the entire area. In March he will want to do the front half. Atty. Rogers reviewed, he would rescind the present lease and have 3 leases. He asked, when he purchases, would it be a deed of trust or contract of sale? In a deed of trust the City requires lot position, in a contract of sale they do not. Mr. Lowry replied, he would cash out on any the City did not have lot position on. Atty. Rogers noted he would have the right to buy, but there is no assurance he will be successful bidder. Mr. Lowry said he thought the lessee has let right of refusal. Atty. Rogers replied what he asks may be premature. He did not know what Mr. Lowry's position was. The plat was just delivered this date. He asked if Council could delay their decision. Mr. Labahn added, the wylar should be in by Dec. 8. Atty. Rogers asked if Mr. Lowry intended to bond the project because he was not able to complete as much as intended. Mr. Lowry replied yes, it is certain Administration will have to review this. He understood this was a formality, it was usual procedure. Atty. Rogers replied he was not aware that it was usual procedure, nor that the Code provides for it. Mr. Lowry asked if there was a specific problem with this. Atty. Rogers replied, he wanted to take a look at it further. He was made aware of it this date. Mr. Lowry said he had been trying for 2 months to get this done. Atty. Rogers asked if he had assurances from City Manager Brighton. Mr. Lowry replied he talked to him 2 times. He added, he would be bonding 10 lots out of the 23 to bring roads up to standard. Mr. Labahn explained the question is more a matter of timing than anything else. The plat is the last go -around. It will be ready for the final 12-8 -83. There are some prerequisites. We have to have the plat and installation agreement. The installation agreement does not come to Council. These are prerequisites for moving forward. The breakdown of leases has to be approved by Council. Atty. Rogers withdrew his objection. Councilwoman Monfor said her problem was in bringing it to Council this date. Councilman Wise said P&Z has not reviewed or approved the preliminary plat subject to subdividing. Mr. Lowry replied the preliminary has been approved. Councilman Wise said, for the overall tract, not on the subdivision. Mr. Lowry replied the preliminary tract CITY OF KENAI DECEMBER 7, 1983 Page 3 has been approved by P&2 a month ago. Mr. Labahn said there was no reason for P&Z to see again. Atty. Roger asked if the leases were current. Mr. Labahn replied, they are 1-1/2 months delinquent, there are no other problems. Mr. Lowry said he would brtak ground in March for the commercial aspect. Councilman Ackerly asked why it could not wait 2 weeks. fir. Lowry replied,everything is based on financing. He brought it to Mr. Brighton 3 times, Mr. Labahn 8 to 10 times. He was told he had to come to Council. Council agreed to review this at the Dec. 21, 1983 meeting. Mr. Labahn was asked to submit the material to PhZ as an information item at their Dec. 14 meeting. C.
