C-8 Resolution 82-2 - Requesting Legislature to Amend Title 29 Regarding Platting, Planning and Land Use Regulations MOTIONS Councilwoman Glick moved, seconded by Councilman Malston, to adopt the resolution. There was no public comment. Councilwoman Glick asked Atty. Delahay, they are revising Title 29, is there any move to include any of these things? Atty. Delahay replied he is not familiar with every aspect. This one changes i I I N _4 KENAI CITY COUNCIL JAN. 6, 1982 Page 3 the language a bit More. The powers can only be taken back by the Borough with permission of the city or unless the city has failed to comply with Chapter provisions. He felt this should he left out. MOTION, Amendment: Councilwoman Glick moved, seconded by Councilman Measles, to delete #5 and that copies be sent to members of the Title 29 Committees of the House and Senate. VOTE, Amendment: Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote. VOTE, Main Motion as Amended: Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote. C-9 Resolution 82-3 - Notice to Legislature of Objection to Latouche Harbor Construction MOTION: Councilman Mueller moved, seconded by Councilman Malston, to adopt the resolution. There was no public comment. MOTION, Amendment: Councilman Wise moved, seconded by Councilwoman Glick, to amend the resolution to amend the portion of the 3rd WHEREAS, line 3, to add "and the Legislature" after "the Governor." Vice Mayor Glick took the chair. Mayor O'Reilly said we have had back-up material from Cordova, but we are getting into a situation where this is a Capital Improvement Project on someone's part. We are getting into a field where we are in- volved with other cities' Capital Improvment Projects. We may get into fights with other cities on our own projects. When we start passing resolutions at this time indicating irresponsibility on the Governor's part, that may not be politically the most apt moment.He didn't know if we have all the information at this time. Councilman Wagoner arrived at this time. Mayor O'Reilly resumed the chair. MOTION, Amendment to Amendment: Councilman Wagoner moved, seconded by Councilwoman Glick, to amend the portion of the 3rd WHEREAS, line 2, to delete all after the word "appears" and add, not to be in the best interest of the overall Prince William Sound community." Councilman Wagoner explained there were 2 families on Latouche Island. He is not sure they live there year round. It is a private group trying to use State funds for their personal gain. That is why the Prince William Sound Community is upset. It would indirectly affect Kenai if we were after our Port & Harbor grant. KENAI CITY COUNCIL JAN. 6, 1982 Page 4 VOTE, Amendment to Amendment: Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote. VOTE, Amendment: Motion passed, with Mayor O'Reilly voting no. MOTION, Amendment: Councilman Wise moved, seconded by Councilwoman Glick, to amend the portion of the resolution be- ginning "NOW, THEREFORE---", line 2, to delete "Governor and", line 3, change "reconsiders" to "reconsider", line 4, put a period after "Island" and delete the sentence from that point on. Councilman Wise noted the Governor can do nothing. This is a Legislative act. He would ask the Legis- lature to reconsider, it is presumptuous for us to ask them to deny it. Councilman Wagoner said the Governor has the authority to redirect bond moneys or grant moneys. Vice Mayor Glick took the chair. Mayor O'Reilly suggested the Council have a discussion with our Legislators prior to sending this off. He has a serious worry of municipalities taking action on other municipalities' Capital Improvement Projects. It should be where our interests are involved. Council- man Wise said he would be willing to table the resolu- tion till it is cleared with the Legislature. Mayor O'Reilly resumed the chair. Councilman Wagoner said he does not agree with tabling. This is communication between Council and the Legis- lators. As for involvement, someone has to put sanity back in the world. There should be a balance between population and funds used. Mayor O'Reilly suggested this is not the proper one to have battle on. VOTE, Amendment: Motion passed, with Mayor O'Reilly voting no. MOTION, Table: Councilman Wise moved, seconded by Councilman Wagoner, to table the resolution till the next regular meeting of Jan. 20, 1982. Mayor O'Reilly noted he and City Manager Brighton will be back from Juneau by then. VOTE, Table: Motion failed, with Councilman Wise, Mayor O'Reilly voting yes; Councilwoman Glick, Councilman Malston, Measles, Mueller, Wagoner voting no. Councilwoman Glick said we have been asked for help from Cordova. With reapportionment, Cordova is in- cluded in our Senate district. You are going to see more and more cooperation between these communities. Then when we need help, we can ask for help from them. Vice Mayor Glick took the chair. h RENAI CITY COUNCIL -- JAN. 6, 1982 " Page 5 _ Mayor O'Reilly said we have adopted a policy of not casting opinions pro or con on other communities. This i has been stoned b, tho Governor., it will get his attention. He felt: a. We are passing judgement on other people's Capital Improvement Projects. b. He has confidence the Governor has reviewed the pros and cons of the measure. C. It opens us up to being judged in matters we may be familiar with and find us in a cat and dog fight. Councilman Wagoner said he has additional information: -- a. The Governor did not pass this iu the first place, there were other parts of the project cut by the Governor last year. b. There are plans right now to promote hydro- electric development in the same area. ' Capital Iirprovements should not support private development. Other areas have needs for port and harbor and they can see where the money is going to `J go. Mayor O'Reilly said he is willing to concede that this is probably not efficient use of the State's money. But what we are trying to do is insert our wishes to Legislative action. There are many ways Capital Improvement money is not being used properly. This may not be the right place to start the battle. He would like to discuss this with our Legislators first. - Mayor O'Reilly resumed the chair. o VOTE, Main Motion with Amendment: ' } Motion passed, with Mayor O'Reilly voting no. �o- Councilwoman Glick asked that copies be sent to the Legislators. C-10 Resolution 82-4 - Encouraging Borough Assembly to 4 p Adopt Ordinance Providing Zoning Powers to Municipalities J MOTION: --- Councilwoman Glick moved, seconded by Councilman _ Wagoner, to adopt the resolution. There was no public comment. -, Councilman Wagoner asked if Council could be getting into a position of mouse -trapping ourselves into the Borough giving us all platting powers, etc. Council- woman Glick replied, regarding platting costs. One of the things Borough Mayor Thompson discussed with _=- her was costs, if they are going to give us every- thing. Platting will not be given to the cities, the ;. Borough will maintain them. Zoning powers are within cities only as long as it does not have overriding effects on areas outside cities or the Borough as a whole. At the next Borough meeting she will ask to ! change Ord. 82-2 wherein the Borough cannot take back powers without consent of the cities. Councilman Wagoner said he agrees with the present intent of the Borough, but we had a request from Homer regard- '};"; -` ing a change of State statutes. There are only 3 communities that want planniny & zoning powers, we may have to go to Juneau and fight all the communities -°, in the State for this. Councilwoman Glick said in the ord. we are merely asking them to change the portion of Title 29 regarding zoning. After that I F N! KENAI CITY COUNCIL JAN. 6, 1982 Page 6 the Borough can change their ordinance. Councilman Wagoner asked, what will happen if the City receives planning & zoning powers, is there also a vehicle where the City can give those back to the Borough? Atty. Delahay explained the problem is that. grant of power to the Borough must be accepted by the Borough. He added, the resolution merely goes on record of support of the ordinance as in the best interest. Even with the amendment, you would be asking the Borough to give up authority. Anything the Assembly gives up, the next Assembly can take back. Council- man Wise said he felt this resolution is premature. MOTION: Councilman Wise moved. seconded by Councilman Mueller, to table tra resolution. Motion failed, with Councilmen Mueller, Wise, Mayor O'Reilly voting yes; Councilwoman Glick, Councilmen Malston, Measles, Wagoner voting no. VOTE, Main Motion: Motion passed, with Councilwoman Glick, Council- men Malston, Measles, Mueller, Wagoner voting yes; Councilman Wise, Mayor O'Reilly voting no. C-11 Resolution 82-5 - Transfer of Funds - Appraisal of Daubenspeck Property, Beaver Creek Park and Section 36 - $500 MOTION: Councilman Wagoner moved, seconded by Councilman Malston, to adopt the resolution. There was no public comment. Councilman Wise asked if all the funds were allo- cated. City Manager Brighton replied yes. Council- man Wise said he didn't think we were going to get much of an appraisal. City Manager Brighton replied it was their understanding it was an adequate amount. Councilwoman Glick said this includes the Daubenspek property, wasn't this appraised prior to receipt? Atty. Delahay replied yes. Councilwoman Glick asked, did we pay for part of this? City Manager Brighton replied we did not share the cost because this was for his own tax purposes. Councilwoman Glick asked, why are we including Daubenspek at this time? City Manager Brighton replied, the request of from the F1._nance Dept. to get an audit for our fixed assets :;kT Gompai - Councilman Malston asked, if the Finance Dept. is asking for an appraisal, what makes this different than other properties that have not been appraised? Councilman Measles noted these properties have been newly added to the City. Atty. Delahay noted the City has received a gift from the Daubenspeks as a tax write-off for them. We can use the old appraisal. If we get a new apparisal and it is lower, we may be hurting the Daubenspeks. MOTION, Amendment: Councilman Wise moved, seconded by Councilman Malston, to use the other appraisal and delete the Daubenspek property. n /� �'C.�� �ar.t►tl<<- �+-�c�h�-pvt �..o�c� ��- C,pw`� b� 10�l0 . `pw+�e.,Y++q+1 tj 4A# �, a r-Q.b► . z- KENAI CITY COUNCIL JAN. 6, 1982 Page 7 VOTE, Amendments Motion passed, wi Malston, Mrs Lsles, Councilmen Mueller, Wagoner voting no. VOTE, Main Motion with Amendments Motion passed, with Councilman Wagoner voting no. C-12 Resolution. 82-6 - Transfer of Funds - Lawton, Walker, Tinker, B.ogers - $3,000 MOTIONS Councilman Wise moved, seconded by Councilman Mueller, to adopt the resolution. There was no public comment. Councilman Measles noted, it appears in the change orders that they are required because of a change in the lines by request of the property owners. Is that normal? Public Works Director Kornelis replied normally this is borne by the property owners, the only exception is when we pave the street with no improvements. In doing so, this prevents the property owners from cutting into the pavement. On this street the property owner was thinking of putting in a 4-plex. These lines should be enlarged. Who pays for it is a Council decision. Mayor O'Reilly asked if we had done this in the past. Mr. Kornelis replied we have not had this situation before. Council- man Measies said he has no problem with normal service to property lines, but with DEC funding, we are making an individual request from a property owner. He should pay the difference in cost. MOTION: Councilwoman Glick moved to direct Administration to bill the property owner accordingly. There was no second. Councilman Wagoner said it was his understanding that the property owner had talked to the City. We are looking at an additional change order, not a change in pipe. He thought the City would get into problems if they put it in and charge the customer. MOTION, Tables Councilman Measles moved, seconded by Councilwoman Glick, to table this resolution till Administration can find out from the property owner if they are willing to pay the additional cost. City Manager Brighton said it was determined by Council to eliminate hook up fees for water & sewer to encourage development. Following that train of thought, Administration thought that since this was 4 units, plus 4 times water & sewer rates, they felt there was some justification for stub -out on that property. Public Works Disector Kornelis explained they have been advertising and sending letters to each property owner. The hearings have been pretty well attended by property owners. The contractor may have the material in, but he has not done the work yet. We may be under obligation to buy the material. t �m KENAI CITY COUNCIL JAN. 6, 1982 Page 8 Councilman Measles said the biggest problem is if we do this, any time we have improvements, any property owners who may want to at some time build a 4-plex, etc., he will ask for a larger line. City Manager Brighton said at the public hearing, they met with the contractors and we have accommodated them on almost all requests. VOTE, Tables Motion passed, with Councilman Malston voting no. C-13 Resolution 82-7 - Awarding Bid - Fins Arts Bldg. Electric Work - Air Tek, Inc. - $10,552 MOTIONS Councilman Malston moved, seconded by Councilwoman Glick, to adopt the resolution. There was no public comment. Councilman Wise asked, with the other resolution, what is the cost of the renovation now? Public Works Director Kornelis replied, a total of $45,000, with $35,000 already allocated. There is a resolution later in the agenda asking for $7,000, Administration was going to ask for $10,000. Councilman Wagoner said he feels uncomfortable with one bid for a build- ing of this size. He suggested we defeat this and advertise and solicit for other bids. Public Works Director Kornelis said they did go out for bids. This was the only reply. Councilman Wise asked if the building had been appraised. City Manager Brighton replied no. VOTES Motion passed, with Councilman Wise voting no. C-14 Resolution 82-8 - Transfer of Funds - Fine Arts Bldg. Renovation - $7,000 MOTIONS Councilwoman Glick moved, seconded by Councilman Malston, to adopt the resolution. MOTION, Amendments Councilwoman Glick moved, with consent of second, to increase the amount to $10,000. There was no public comment. Councilman Wagoner said he would vote against it. He is not in favor of the City doing things in this manner. Public Works Director Kornelis said a lot of work to be done has already been funded. Items not funded area a. drop ceiling b. extra sheet rock C. taping d. peg boards (2x2) He added, $35,000 was a rough estimate. Motion passed, with Councilwoman Glick, Councilmen Malston, Measles, Mayor O'Reilly voting yest Council- men Mueller, Wagoner, Wise voting no. C-15 Resolution 82-9 - Expressing City's Intention to Join Self -Insurance Plan ti r 1 ' iF KENAI CITY COUNCIL JAN. 6, 1982 Page 9 - MOTION: I Councilwoman Glick moved, seconded by Councilman Measles, to adopt the resolution. j There was no public comment. Councilman Wagoner asked, has there been any thought ff given for public facilities for self insurance? City Manager Brighton replied it was discussed at budget and was given for auto insurance.. It was suggested %r it be discussed at next budget session. $100,000 was set aside for any needs, that would include any- thing the City would need. We have insurance on the buildings. Councilman wagoner said the amount he is talking about is deductible costs. Many policies cover the whole amount. City Manager Brighton replied that is being discussed at Municipal League. Councilwoman Glick said Municipal League is dealing with just Workmen's Comp and general & auto. This is in the contract coverage with National Assoc. of Counties and Alaska Municipal League. This is just a start- up. If it goes well, then we have discussed the possibility of expanding. iMotion passed unanimously by roll call vote. -- C-16 Renewal of Liquor Licenses a. Beverage Dispensary - Casino Bar Gate 54 b. Package Store -- Casino Liquor Foodtown Liquor --- Clerk Whelan said all taxes are paid current on these. I MOTIONS Councilman Measles moved, seconded by Councilwoman Glick, to have a letter of non -objection be sent to -' the ABC regarding those listed. Motion passed by unanimous consent. s CHANGE IN AGENDA Mayor O'Reilly asked if item F-1, Airport Design --- Development, could be next on the agenda, as one of the individuals concerned had to catch a plane to Anchorage. Council agreed to the change. F-1 Architect Carmen Gintoli - Airport Design Development �. City Manager Brighton asked if he could address the problem. He noted Council has decided on schemei, { an addition to the South side of the building. This has created 4 problemss a. Gas facilities, it will cost $10,000 to remedy. b. Itinerant aircraft parking, it will cost $1/4 Million to accommodate. c. Dispossession of present users out of the present facility. d. Outgoing and incoming luggage creates an island in the center of the aircraft users situation. I t - KENAI CITY COUNCIL JAa1. 6, 1982 Page 10 A new addition creates problems, $2 Million is for renovation nnly. w-- m"qt �.. to the people to build a building of yl Million or more." He proposes the 11,000 sq. ft. be added to the North end of the building. Users can be put into the new facility when complete, then the old portion can be completed. This alleviates the problems mentioned. A gate could be put in to keep the people out of the terminal after hours,from the restaurant. Carmen Gintoli spoke. He said the fuel facility is an estimate and is included in the $11 Million cost. Itinerant parking could be moved to the North end. As for dispossessing users, this scheme may cost more money, it will double labor costs. He did not know of the baggage handling problem. Mr. Brighton said the new addition would accommodate all users. Moving itinerant aircraft would create havoc with the fish flyers. Mr. Gintoli noted the consultants had said not to let general aviation encroach on passenger terminal facilities. The fish haulers are only a problem a few months of the year. Council- man Wagoner asked Airport Manager Swalley, how many general aircraft do we have compared to commercial? He added, small charters are considered general. Mr. Swalley replied, as a rough estimate, counting control tower and flight service flights, we broke 100,000. Of 50,000 arrivals, 15,000 to 16,000 are scheduled. The 35,000-plus are general. He noted on past funding, we are obligated to give into general aviation. Mr. Brighton said at ball park figures, we are looking at $50,000, plus $10,000, plus $1/4 Million. Those are costs we can avoid by going to the North end. Councilwoman Glick asked, why are we discussing this? She thought these problems were discussed and settled. She added, regarding the North expansion, is there no fuel facility to the North? Mr. Brighton replied that would not be impaired as one to the South would be. Councilwoman Glick said itinerant park- ing is not a problem of terminal renovation, this is not something new. Councilman Wise said we are closing the fuel pit during the peak of the summer season. The north fuel pit would be affected, that is where the Heres fuel. Councilman Malston said he thought what City Manager Brighton had suggested was what Council wanted to begin with. Councilwoman Glick said baggage should not be a problem, in Anch. you must go to another area to pick up luggage. She added scheme #1 was chosen by the consultants, he was an expert in the field. This renovation will have to last us many years. A lot of these problems are not as big as they appear. We have had many meetings. Every time Mr. Gintoli makes a presentation, new problems come up. Mr. Gintoli noted at the work session the point was made that the users preferred scheme $2 because it waa convenient to them. The consultant said scheme #1 was more convenient to the public. Airport Manager Swalley said when con- venience to the operator or convenience to the public was considered, the public was considered. Regarding the fuel Facilities, when the iierc's are fueling, they are bringing in a jet fuel truck. He added it was down last summer because of an operator problem. We are in a position to make baggage handling con- venient to the public, we should do it. Council- ntan Wagoner said he was insistent on a consultant, KENAI CITY COUNCIL JAN. 6, 1982 Page 11 maybe we got caught in the "consultant from afar" == - syndrome, We were not completely comfortable with either scheme. Also, some people do not f,;sl fortable getting up in public and ;Gakinr speeches. Mr. Gintoli said these 2 schemes are wh,.t he and the consultant felt were the best of 10 schemes. Councilwoman Glick said perhaps we should have looked a,, all 10. Councilman Measles suggested they review the whole subject. Councilman Wise said to scrap and refund is foolish. He cannot see coughing up another $100,000 to study the problem. Councilman Wagoner asked Mr. Gintoli, what is the cost of the contract at this time? Mr. Gintoli replied $71,000 up to the last Council meeting. Councilman Wagoner asked if some of the work could be used over again. Mr. Gintoli replied yes. MOTIONS Councilman Wagoner moved, seconded by Councilman Measles, to direct Administration to notify Carman Gintoli that work on scheme #1 be discontinued immediately. Motion passed, with Councilmen Malston, Measles, Mueller, Wagoner, Mayor O'Reilly voting yes; -- Councilwoman Glick, Councilman wise voting no. MOTION: Councilman Wagoner moved, seconded by Councilman Measles, that the Council direct the City Manager and Airport Manager to meet with Mr. Gintoli and affected airport users to formulate a series of preliminary proposals for presentation to Council. These proposals should include expansion to the North and West for all new space except the rest - rooms for the lounge, development of a plan to allow new construction and renovation of old City office space to take place first thus allowing the operation of the terminal lease holders to continue operations as currently exist until this prior renovation and new construction is finalized, move all operations into the new and renovated space while completing the renovation of the current office and lobby space, and finally direct the architect that the existing building's exterior walls are to remain essentially as is. Councilman wagoner explained the reason he did this is to allow us a starting plea with Mr. Gintoli. He has been groping for a place to start. Mr. Gintoli asked about the contractural obligations. Council- man Wagoner replied this could be discussed with Atty. Delahay and City Manager Brighton and they could come back to Council. MOTION, Amendments Councilman Wagoner moved, with consent of second, i to change the motion to read, line 4, after the word "users," add "and City Council"; line 5, delete the period after "Council" and add, "and public at public hearings"; and delete all from that point on. ' KENAI CITY COUNCIL JAN. 6, 1982 Page 12 Motion with amendment passed, with Councilman Wise voting no. Mayor O'Reilly noted to Mr. Gintoli that this has put Mr. Gintoli in a most difficult situation.

MINUTES D-1 Regular Meeting, Dec. 16, 1981 ' Councilwoman Glick asked that page 2, paragraph 5, ='= P line 11, "USKA" be changed to read "USKH." , y Councilwoman Glick asked that page 6, paragraphs 2 and 4, verbatim translations be made and included , in the packet for the Jan. 20, 1982 meeting. f, Councilwoman Glick asked that page 10, item G-11, ` ' paragraph 2, the words "check for" be added after the word "of" in the sentence. Councilwoman Glick asked that page 13, paragraph 2, last sentence, the period be deleted and the words, "and she further requested City Manager Brighton contact C12M Hill and inform them of the possibility -_ of utilizing NorTek for the sedimentation study." Councilwoman Glick asked that page 14, item H-6, the paragraph under item $5, line 1, the word - "Valhalla" be changed to "Strawberry"; line 2 the period be deleted and the words "used on Valhalla Heights." be added. Councilman Measles asked that page 12, item H-1, lil the motion and motion -amendment have no vote listed. Minutes were approved as changed and corrected. E.

Representative O'Connell was in his office this date (1-6-82). Mr. Brighton gave him a copy of the Capital Improvement Brochure. Rep. O'Connell reiterated he felt most everyone concerned felt Kenai was more adequately pre- pared than anv. in Alaska. He also gave Rep. O'Connell a breakdown of per capita income in the Peninsula from the State, as distributed to Council. Rep. O'Connell did not realize the difference. He was also surprised that it was so low. Mr. Brighton told him they were not objecting to other communities, but they wanted more. Rep. O'Connell said he would try to change. H-2 City Attorney Atty. Delahay spoke. 1. The City was involved in a suit with Kenai News, Inc. regarding the land sales. On Dec. 14, 1981 the Court denied the plaintiff. 2. In Nov. there was a request for sale of Union Oil purchase of land. Council requested the Atty's opinion. Kenai Municipal Code lets us sell land at negotiated sale. The City Manager should be advised to sell at the beat terms available with approval of Council, keeping in mind the gas available. Mayor O'Reilly said there are other considerations that should go into the sale of 4 acres. Council may wish an ad hoc committee to develop criteria and policies the City Manager should use. Council- woman Glick suggested this item be directed to the Public Works Committee and Council is in- vited to attend the sessions. Council agreed to the suggestion. H-3 Mayor Mayor O'Reilly spoke. 1. Fie suggested Lee Lewis as a replacement for the Planning & Zoning Commission. Councilman Waqoner said he had been approached by several people who felt P&Z should have a representative who had major land holdings in the City. Council- woman Glick said you have to have someone who is M i, KENAI CITY COUNCIL JAN. 6, 1982 Page 17 willing to commit the time. MOTION: Councilwoman Glick moved, seconded by Councilman Mp-asles, to approtre Lee Lewis for P&Z Commission. Motion passed by unanimous consent. Clerk Whelan was directed to send a letter to Mr. Lewis. 2. Mayor O'Reilly noted there are 2 vacancies on the Harbor Commission, one on the Recreation Commission, and there are representatives needed for the Alaska 84 Committee. Any recommendations from Council would be encouraged. 3. The Council of Mayors will be meeting in Juneau Jan. 18 and 19. He would like to ask City Manager Brighton to go with him. Council agreed to the request. H-4 City Clerk 1. Clerk Whelan said the ballots for the elections of April 9 and Oct. 7, 1980 have been destroyed. H-5 Finance Director None H-6 Planning & Zoning None H-7 Harbor Commission None I. PERSONS PRESENT NOT SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD 1. Councilman Wagoner said the State is entering into a $4 Million contract for Alaska 84. He is not in favor of it. The head is getting more than the Governor, many of his Commissioners, and many others. He suggested a resolution be sent to the Governor and Legislators. Mayor O'Reilly said the last resolution was in support of Alaska 84, with the Mayor appointing a committee. He suggested Council withhold on committee appointments till they find out what Alaska 84 is going to do. Councilmani Wagoner said he is not against the concept, just against the money spent. Mayor O'Reilly said he would like to have a representative come down to talk to Council when they make their decision. No action was taken by Council. 2. Councilman Wise asked, what is the reaction of Administration to the audit? City Manager Brighton replied he though it was a good audit. The recommendations they spoke of are things Administration was aware of. Atty. Delahay said many of the things are in the Attorney's office. He added some of these items, if we sue, they will go bankrupt. There are a number he is working on. As for water & sewer, we have liens on some of those. These things take time. __ �.....��..e—•-•<Lkr.,_'Ys•�piiJ�--�_�.�. �'� '^r'�4.';�� _ 5'�r rem _ ^^'�^i^ ,:. •^-�'.^ _ _ - �-'..... .�._.:-�.�a-�=� _.. v. e.i��`'.

Councilwoman Glick said the Kenai Peninsula Borough P&Z did approve rezoning of lots in Fidalgo, Etolin, & FBO Subdivision (north of the terminal). They also approved Borough ordinance 81-122, excluding Kenai from provisions for preparation of plats. Also, the Municipal League Boarz of Directors will meet Feb, 4 & Feb. 5, 1982 in Juneau. She would like to go down Feb. 3, and will miss the Feb. 3 Council meeting. Mayor O'Reilly suggested she take Public works Director Kornelis ;with the Capital Improvement Projects Proposal. 4. Councilman Malston noted he will be out of town for the Jan. 20, 1983 meeting. 5. Councilman wagoner said he felt the lot of Feb. was too early to send people to Juneau to promote the Capital Improvement Projects. It is premature. ADJOURNMENT D� Meeting adjourned at 1is45 PM. J� or an, City Clerk G` 0 KENAI CITY COUNCIL January 6, 1982 Verbatim Translation C-11-Resolution 82-5 Transfer of funds - appraisal of Daubenspek property Beaver Creek Park and Section 36 - $500.00. Tom Wagoner - Move for approval of Resolution 82-05 Rou Malston - Second Vince O'Reilly - Anyone from the pubilc wish to be heard on 82-5? Hearing, seeing none, 1 bring the resolution back to Council. (inaudible) John. Wise - Is this all the funds allocated for the appraisal? Bill Brighton - yes John Wise - I don't think you're going to get much of an appraisal for $500 00 Th la ' ree very rge and involved properties, I don t think you're going to yet it. Bill Brighton - Well, it was our understanding from the appraisers that that would be an adequate amount to get those parcels appraised. Betty Glick - Question, this includes the Daubenspek property. Did we not have that Daubenspek property appraised prior to it being donated to the City? Vince O'Reilly - Yes we did Betty Glick - Which we contributed to a portion of the funding of the --' appraisal or some such a thing? It seems like we shared in f the cost? t Bill Brighton - I don't think we shared the cost because the appraisal was -V ! strictly for his own personal interest and not the interest of the City. '-`"- Betty Glick - Well, I do not wish to belabor it but I that in a conversation "'♦� ; with the Mayor that the City was going to pay for the appraisal due to the fact that this would better establish the cost of =- it for the write-off. Bill Brighton - for his tax purposes. Betty Glick - Right, right. Now I'm not going to nit pik pad so on and so forth but question is why are we including t►-e Daubenspek property again or now or for what reason? - f � V .1 KENAI CITY COUNCIL January 6, 1982 Verbatim Translation Page 2 Bill Brighton - Well, the request is from the finance department on the basis of getting an audit for our fixed assets and apparently there wasn't ante cons' ip,atfor e ' »• *., f- original appraisal and I confess to you t ia, I ha i )i + :,-ut that particular appraisal. 1,. '.t.0 reunci;. St,vLId so axrect we could withdraw that particular parcel from a new appraisal and use the old appraisal should you so desire. Betty Glick - It's only about - what - a year ago, not quite a year ago when that property was appraised. Bill Brighton - And I think we may be looking at 10% on a twelve (12) month basis - I would yield to the Councilman in the real estate business to give us a better idea about that. Dick Meuller - There's a good possibility. There have been some increases in values in that area. I think one particular parcel increased at about 25%. Vince O'Reilly - Further discussion, Council? Councilman Wagoner. Tom Wagoner - I don't know. For this amount of money, if we're going to get an appraisal and include the Daubenspek property I think it would be wise to have it reappraised because as it was pointed out the appraiser was originally appraising it for Daubenspek and -- 16etty Glicu - it would be funny if the value went down instead of up. Vince O'Reilly - Further discussion. Councilman Malston Ron Malston - If the finance department is asking for an appraisal of this, what makes this any different than any other properties that the City owns that have not been appraised recently? Bill Brighton - The finance director is upstairs, I could get him down here to answer that question. 1 can't answer that question for him. Ron Malston - I question having it appraised for not knowing what the reason is. If somebody's interested in it, that's one thing. But to -- Bill Brighton - I'm sure that's not the reason. It's my understanding the reason is for auditing purposes for the City of Kenai on their assets _ v I KENAI CITY COUNCIL January 6, 1982 Verbatim Translation Page 3 Ron Malston - Oh, than, if that being the case, why are we not appraising all. of the cities properties. Bill Brighton - apparently those are the only ones the auditors requested. Those are large parcels as opposed to many of the smaller parcels that we have. Ray Measles - it appears that these parcels have been added to the assets of the City since the last accepted audit. Bill Brighton - that could very well be Ray Measles - and this is the reason they are asking for appraisals on these. All three (3) of these are newly added assets to the City. Vince O'Reilly - further discussion on the resolution? Ben Delahay - I would like to bring to Council's attention that the City received from the Daubenspeks a very valuable gift. One of the reasons for that gift was an income tax break that the Daubenspeks expected to get. If we - for the purpose of this audit, we can accept that prior appraisal made at Daubenspek's request and it should satisfy the book. If we have an appraisal at this time and it comes in about 40% less than that appraisal and Daubenspek's income tax is questioned and this is brought out we may be really cutting the legs off of the people who made a very generous gift to the City. Vince O'Reilly - Councilman Wise John Wise - I would approve the resolution. However, I think we're getting a steal for $500.00 for even the other two (2) tracts, but I would delete the -- MOTION: instruct the Administration to delete the Daubenspek property Bill Brighton - and use the other appraisal? John Wise - use the other appraisal, if it's required Ron Malston - Second that. Vince O'Reilly - perhaps before we this thing gets too involved we may want to hear from Mr. Brown as to why these appraisals are being called on. Ray Measles - it states right in the resolution KENAI CITY COUNCIL January 6, 1982 Verbatim Translation Page 4 Vince O'Reilly - all right. Your's iia the form of an amendment to delete the Daubenspek property? John Wise - yes sir Vince O'Reilly - okay, discussion on the amendment? Clerk call the roll on the amendment VOTE - 5 yes, 2 no Vince O'Reilly - okay, you have the resolution as amended. Discussion? Clark call the roll VOTE - 6 yes, 1 no. co-mi--za�& t Whelan, City Clerk KE.YAI CITY COUNCIL January 5. 1982 Verbatim Translation G-14 - Water and Sewer Rates Vince O'Reilly - ok, you have before you a memo concerning water and sewer rate adjustment. Are we being asked at this point to approve these water and sewer rates? Bill Brighton - Mr. Chairman, I think you probably are. But I would like to refer you to the next to the last paragraph in the memo at which point the finance director suggests that these particular - figures will probably be quite temporary on the basis that the Public Works department has not determined what future the employment situation is going to be at that facility. And I would probably suggest to you, until we get a little more insight into that area, that we hold this for a couple of Council meetings. I think the Council was well aware that once this facility went on -stream it was going to necessitate a substantial increase in rates. However, as you can determine from the finance director's figures, it is not a substantial increase. Perhaps one of the reasons for this is it is my understanding there is no new help figured into these rates. Isn't that correct, Keith? Keith Kornelis - (inaudible) Bill Brighton - and so I would suggest that we hold for at least one or two Council meetings for additional information and/or input until you're asked to finally finalize these recommended rates. Vince O'Reilly - Councilman Irialston Ron Malston - MOTIONz I would move to table these water and sewer rates till the first meeting in February. Ray Measles - second Vince O'Reilly - Councilman Wise John Wise - one question. Do these rates have to go before the Public Utility Commission? Bill Brighton - no. I don't think so. (discussion on related item) i r KENAI CITY COUNCIL January 6, 1982 Verbatim Translation } Page 2 Vince O'Reilly - ok. We have no motion befc-re iss except the suggestion ° that we hold up on these water and sewer rates (inaudible) ok. There is a motion - Tom Wagoner - question i Vince O'Reilly - to postpone the study of water and sewer rates until the first meeting in February or to at least bring the subject up at that point. Ready for the vote on that motion? Clerk, please call the roll ' VOTE - 7 yes, 0 no et Whelan, Cit Clerk
