PERSONS PRESENT SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD 8-1 Ron Yamamoto, Application for Liquor License, Little Ski -No Councilman Measles said the notice said beer and wine, the application said liquor. What did he intend to do? Mr. Yamamoto explained, a restaurant & eating place means beer & wine. Councilman Measles asked, does he propose to have expansion done before serving or start immediately? Mr. Yamamoto replied, the license was t;. included in his 5 year plan. He will not serve beer & wine in the present site. He wanted to get an improvement in a family -type operation, with steaks, -- broil -your -own. He proposes expansion when ho is financially able. The license requires he use it 30 days per year. His intention is to serve if asked at designated tables. He would not use the license till the 30 days was up. Mayor O'Reilly asked about - the delinquent taxes.

PUBLIC HEARINGS C-1 Ordinance 758-82 - Engineering & Preparation of `3 Grant Application - Float Plane Basin - $5,300 t MOTIONS l Councilwoman Glick moved, seconded by Councilman Mueller, to adopt the ordinance. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MAY 5, 1982 Page 2 There was no public comment. Councilwoman Glick said this should be a pre -grant application. She said Airport Manager Swalley had felt maybe we could increase to do the engineering on the ramp overlay. Mr. Swalley and FAA representatives had determined we do have to do overlay of the ramp. Also, there is some area that will have to be excava- ted. The figure was $60,000, but we are not getting into in-depth engineering, just pre -application to seek ADAP funding. ADAP funding is not available at this time, so we should do all we can do at this time. There were no discussions in time to be on the Capital Improvement Projects. She asked it to be on the agenda. In reviewing DOT projects, we will have to look at other sources and perhaps go to DOT for funding. $5,300 would be sufficient to do preliminary engineering and pre -grant application for basin and ramp overlay. The #1 priority on Capital Improvement Projects was ramp and taxi way. The taxi way seemed in pretty good condition. The ramp extension could be done with dredg- ing of the float plane basin. MOTION, Amendments Councilwoman Glick moved, seconded by Councilman Malston, to include for purposes of-_,astruction, the float plane basin and do the ramp overlays and change to pre -grant application where applicable. VOTE, Amendments Notion passed unanimously by roll call vote. Councilman Measles asked, with tieing this into the ramp overlay, will this include the float plane basin in the #1 priority? Councilwoman Glick replied, it is not her intent as a project, but to get preliminary engineering done to justify the projects. Councilman Malston asked, do we have a grant application for the overlay? Airport Manager Swalley replied, no, we have one for ramp extension and taxi way extension. Council- man Measles asked, why do we have applications for #2 and #3 and not for #1? Mr. Swalley explained that after Break -Up they noted one section needed attention right away. In 1979 they applied for pre -application for the ramp extension. In 1980 we submitted pre -application for extended taxi -way C to end of runway. He was going to ask for lower priority for ramp overlay, but afte- seeing it after Break -Up, he thought it should be #1. Runway was last done in 1979. Councilwoman Glick added she didn't believe anything was done with the ramp. Councilman wise asked, how did the overlay become #1 in Nov. when Break -Up Just occurred? Mr. Swalley ex- plained, they had talked about it last Fall, it looked as if it was going. Now with Break -Up, the crack is quite large. The FAA engineer thought the taxi -ways looked good for one or two years. VOTE, Main Motion as Amended: Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote. C-2 Resolution 82-35 - Transfer of Funds - Additional Utility Costs - $8,700 MOTIONS Councilman Malston moved, seconded by Councilwoman Glick, to adopt the resolution. a KL"NAI CITY COUNCIL MAY 5, 1982 Page 3 There was no public comment. Motion passed unaimously by roll call vote. C-3 Resolution 82-36 - Transfer of Funds - Maintenance & Operation of City Vehicles & Equip. - $16,552 MOTIONs Councilman Wagoner moved, seconded by Councilman Malston, to adept the resolution. There was no public comment. Councilman Malston asked the reason for this. Public Works Director Kornelis replied, they ran out of funds for equipment repair & maintenance. Councilman Wise said with the level and age of the equipment, he didn't see why it is so high. Mr. Kornelis replied, we have replaced much equipment, there is very little abuse. 2 police cars needed work. The new (angled equipment needs more work, and gasoline prices have gone up. Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote. DISCUSSION ITEMS Councilwoman Glick asked, do we allow City employees to put City gas in their vehicles? If we do, do we get reimbursed? City Manager Brighton replied, we do not let them use City vehicles. They can turn in a reimbursement bill, Fn one has gotten gas with his permission or knowledge. C-4 Resolution 82-37 - Transfer of Funds - CH2M Hill Services to Personnel Rd. Hearing - $2,739 MOTION: Councilwoman Glick moved, seconded by Councilman Mueller, to adopt the resolution. There was no public comment. Councilman Wise said he could not approve this transfer as this is an Administration fiasco, Motion passed, with Councilman Wise voting no. C-6 Resolution 82-39 - Transfer of Funds - Lawton, Walker, Tinker, Rogers - $4,675 a. Change Order M2 - Lawton, Walker, Tinker, Rogers, Water to Penny Circle - $4,675 -- j MOTIONS Councilman Wagoner moved, seconded by Councilman Measles, to adopt the resolution. There was no public comment. Councilman Wise asked for an explanation. Public Works Director Kornelis explained, the 2nd part of the resolution was the change order. This will provide water for Penny Circle, off Tinker Lane. They wanted a water line before paving. The sewer is stubbed out for the entire cul de sac outside the paving. Water is on one side, sewer on the other. The water is on the wrong side, this will bring it over. Councilwoman P -_ V. KENAI CITY COUNCIL M&Y 5, 1982 Page 4 Glick said there has been a request for Crow Sub- division on the same side of the street as Penny. She suggested Mr. Kornelis speak to the subdivider. Mr. Kornelis replied this has been done, it will be another change order. This is a road already in, Crow is new. Normally the builder does this, it will have to be a policy decision. j Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote. MOTION, Change Orders i Councilman Measles moved, seconded by Councilwoman Glick, to approve the change order. Motion was approved by unanimous consent. C-7 Application for Liquor License - Little Ski-Mo MOTION: Councilman Wagoner moved, seconded by Councilman Measles, to approve the application condition to confession of judgewnt and promissory note, due 10 days after receipt of the promissory note. j Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote. D. MINUTES D-1 Regular Meeting, April 21, 1982 Minutes were approved as submitted. E. CORRESPONDENCE E-1 M. Adkins, Cordova - LaTouche Harbor No action was taken. E-2 Alcoholic Beverage Control Board - Revocation of Liquor License - Peninsula Oilers Councilman Mueller said he has talked to Dwain Gibson regarding this, and there may be an error. Their license was denied because of something ABC said was not paid, they paid under protest. Mayor O'Reilly added this will be coming back to Council. E-3 Dr. Peter Hansen, Emergency Medical System Needs for City of Kenai Councilman Malston said this was not discussed in budget sessions. Council has not heard from the Fire Dept. or Administration. Fire Chief Winston said the Fire Dept. feels that in order to provide EMT III level service 24 hours a day we do not have enough manpower. If any take leave, they run short. Without EMT III on shift, they cannot provide advanced cardiac care. Dr. Hansen is providing service by radio and feels all should be qualified to handle his instructions. He is laying his license on the line. It is getting to the point that if the City cannot provide the level of service the doctor requires, maybe we should back down and provide a lesser level of service. At the present time there are nine EMT II's and five EMT III's. There are 12 people in the Fire Dept., 3 are Administration, all 9 firemen are EMT II's. The difference between EMT II and EMT III is cardiac care. Thoisu that are not EMT III don't feel they have the extra time o i I I i a MZ Al CITY COUNCIL MAY 5, 1982 Page 5 necessary to put in. The big problem is maintaining their training. The City does not have that many emergency cases. If it is not used constantly, the skills are lost. They have to spend 40 hours a year on their own time. This hospital does not have enough traffic to serve, it has been suggested they be sent to Anchorage, There are 4 of the 9 that don't want to spend their day off in Anchorage working emergency. Councilman Wagoner said since the City spends more time running ambulance than fighting fires, we could give them a stated length of time to become EMT's. Mayor O'Reilly noted some people got into the Fire Dept. for fire work, some for the medical aspect. Now they face a decision as to which way their profession will go. Councilman Malsten asked, what kind of turn- over has the Fire Dept. had? Chief Winston replied, no turnover in the past 4 years. One man left in 1978 and one secretary transferred to the Police Dept. Councilman Measles said we are basically running an ambulance service, but without turnover, we cannot use replacements. Councilman Mueller said Dr. Hansen spoke of additional equipment, what did he mean? Chief Winston replied, all he knew of is a portable radio for him. He may be speaking of in- centive pay. The City pays their expenses to Anch. MOTIONS Councilman Mueller moved, seconded by Councilman Malston, to supply Dr. Hansen with portable two- way radio for his use for his medical service. Councilman Measles suggested the cost be shared with Nikiski. Chief Winston replied Nikiski has already provided one. Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote. Council agreed to a work session May 18, 1982, at 700 PM with City Manager Brighton and Chief Winston. (NOTE, date was changed to May 25) G. NEW BUSINESS G-1 Bills to be Paid, Bills to be Ratified MOTION; Councilman Measles moved, seconded by Councilwoman Glick, to approve the bills as submitted. Councilman Wise asked that the bill from CH2M Hill for $2,738.38 be separated. Council agreed to the request. Motion passed by unanimous consent. G-1 CH2M Hill, $2,738.38 MOTIONS Councilwoman Glick moved, seconded by Councilman Measles, to approve the bill as submitted. Councilman Wise asked, why is this necessary, in view of the ordinances we operate under? Atty. Delahay explained, this was based on failure of an employee to work. Witnesses were on the job and witnessed the failure. These witnesses saved us money. Councilman Wise asked, what do our ordinances require relative 6'm KENAI CITY COUNCIL MAY 5, 1982 Page 6 to documentation? Had the employee been counseled? Atty. Delahay replied, he had been counseled some time but it was not in the personnel file. The short- comings were not brought to the attention of the super- visor. The supervisor was aware, but thought they had been corrected. Motion passed, with Councilman Wise voting no. G-2 Requisitions Exceeding $1,000 None G-3 Ordinance 769-82 - Amending KMC - Change Airport Manager Position to Dept. Director MOTION$ Councilwoman Glick moved, seconded by Councilman Measles, to introduce the ordinance. Motion passed by unanimous consent.

Motion passed by unanimous consent. G-9 Ordinance 775-82 - Amending KMC -- Dedicating Sales Tax Revenues to General Fund MOTIONS Councilman Mueller moved, seconded by Councilman Measles, to introduce the ordinance. Councilman Wise asked about the discrepancy. Fund balance in debt service is $1,360,000, with what he passel out, he has $2.4 Million in the financial statement. Debt service is only $500,000, how did we lose $500,000? Finance Director Brown replied he did not knew without checking his records, and would bring it to the May 19, 1982 meeting. Motion passed, with Councilmen Wise and Malston voting no. G-10 Ordinance 776-82 - Amending KMC - Change Dedication of Interest Revenues from City Investments MOTIONS Councilwoman Glick moved, seconded by Councilman Measles, to introduce the ordinance. Motion passed, with Councilman Wise voting no. G-11 Discussion - Gusty Subdivision Improvements City Manager Brighton explained the reason, Ron Yamamoto has asked for additional land, so they had it platted. It has been to P&Z and they recom- mended platting. It will cost us a substantial amount of money. We have had a great deal of trouble wth people putting in development without proper roads, now we are in the same situation we are attempting to correct. His suggestion is to do sections #1 & 92, not do N3. We have no requests for those. We are going to need a road there be- cause of the ball park activity. It would be advis- able to do the work from Main St. Loop to Coho. If we don't we will have cars parking all over there. Councilman Wise asked if the plat had been approved in the clan zone by FAA, in writing. Airport Manager Swalley replied yes, with many restrictions. MOTIONS Councilman Measles moved, seconded by Councilwoman Glick, to proceed with the City Manager recommendations. Councilwoman Glick said she would like Administration to direct the surveyor to redirect lots 1,2,3 & 4, Block 2 as unsubdivided. Councilman Malston asked, are we eliminating the road that goes from there to lot Ave. Mr. Brighton said this is from Spur Hwy. to Cohoe, it will not eliminate the connection to Spur Iiwy. Councilman Wise asked for a copy of the FAA comments. Councilman Mueller suggested we have units 91 & #2 platted and finalize Block $2. Council agreed to the suggestion. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MAY 5, 1982 Page 8 Recreation Director McGillivray said this was dis- cussed at the last Recreation Committee meeting. They q were very concerned about the roadway past Estes I Music. Would that be affected? Mr. Brighton replied, he doubted it. We would need an appropriation to get the moeny, we would have to go the engineering, award the bid and do the construction. It would not be this summer. Mr. McGillivray explained, lot, 1 Main St. Loop and Main. St. Extended will be under construction. They have no objection to platting, but were concerned about access. I VOTES i Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote. G-12 Discussion - Septic Dumping Rate, Kenai Residents j MOTION, Amendments Councilman Wagoner moved, seconded by Councilwoman Glick, to amend the suggested motion to read $10 per 100 gallons. Councilman Wagoner noted that is still cheap because 1 the average septic tank does not have to be pumped i annually. The average person on City sewage pays j more than that. MOTION, Addition to Amendment: Councilman Wagoner moved, seconded by Councilman Measles, to amend the motion further to read, "fee charged for acceptance of material collected within the City of Kenai." VOTE, Amendment and Addition to Amendment: {- Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote. h VOTE, Main Motion as Amendeds Motion passed by unanimous consent. G-13 Jerry Near Request for Parcel of Land Between Redoubt SID and Spur Hwy. City Manager Brighton explained there is a sliver of land belonging to the City. Mr. Near approached the City regarding selling to him land involving 14 lots. It appears this could be accommodated within the Code. P&2 considered it for 2 meetings. He had to seek out all dept. heads to see if they had a use for the land, they all replied in the negative. Atty. Delahay said some of the lots are larger and could be sold. All of the property would not come within the ordinance. They could be put up for public sale. Councilman Wagoner asked, is there any area dedicated to parks? Recreation Director McGillivray said he is not aware of any. Councilman Measles said there is a City park across from the Armory. Councilman Wagoner asked if it would be beneficial to the City to negotiate a like amount of land dedicated for park and recreation use within the subdivision. Atty. Delahay noted the owner can dedicate but doesn't have to make it a park. City Manager Brighton said he thought we should take a look at the number of parks we have now. Recreation Dept. has more proposed. We have parks all over the communit-.. if we do not have the ability to care for them, they look bad. Acquiring additional parks is not appropriate. Councilman Wagoner agreed, adding we 6M KENAI CITY COUNCIL MAY 5, 1882 Page 9 should take an inventory of all our parks. His idea was, this is where we need a park - where the kids are. Councilwoman Glick said we need to take a look at cost value of the land. We also need to look at the park system and ratio of parks to City size. Also, there is the possibility of dividing lands and have possible sale of lands as public sale. When you get down to the little slivers, these can be sold to Mr. Near. Councilman Malston asked if there was an intent to develop the lots this year. Mr. Brighton replied he didn't know, it is obvious it provides them the capability of developing lots. Atty. Delahay explained the subdivider said the plan of the whole area was made and the full depth was included. Councilman Measles said all of the lots should be negotiated rather than public sale, except lot #1. Councilman Wise said if you cut out lot #1 you cut out water & sewer. It will not be developable. MOTIONS Councilwoman Glick moved, seconded by Councilman Malston, to direct Administration to proceed with negotiated sale for proposal as outlined on the plat abutting Redoubt Subdivision belonging to the City of Kenai at this point of time. Councilman Wise said he agreed, and would like to consider getting equal value in the subdivision adjacent for neighborhood parks in the western area of the division. If P&Z does not approve, we could sell on the open market, we would not have to dedicate. Coucnilman Measles said he didn't see the need for setting aside areas at this time. There are areas set aside in Section 36, and a Municipal Park on the other end of the subdivision. Councilwoman Glick said if we are talking about sale to adjacent owners, a resolution will have to be made and a public hearing. Mr. Brighton explained it would be unnecessary to make a resolution if the appraisal is too high. He suggested the resolution wait till negotiations are started. MOTION, Withdrawals Councilwoman Glick, with consent of second, with- drew her motion. MOTIONS Councilwoman Glick moved, seconded by Councilman Wagoner, to direct Administration to get a proper appraisal of the property in question, enter into negotiations. If negotiations are successful, then Administration prepare a resolution. Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote. DISCUSSION ITEMS MOTION: Councilwoman Glick moved, seconded by Councilman Wagoner, to set the salaries of the City Manager, City Attorney and City Clerk for 1982-83 as outlined in the memo in the packet. Motion passed, with Councilman Wise voting no. I 1 KENAI CITY COUNCIL MAY 5, 1982 Page 10 H. REPORTS H-1 City Manager None H-2 City Attorney Atty. Delahay spoke. 1.

Regarding the Recreation Commission motion on the exercise equipment in j the recreation building. Council had taken the position that as long as private enterprise had equipment, we would not compete. Councilman -- Malston noted that ran out April 1. Recreation Director McGillivray explained, this goes back to the plans we had originally with the building. They met twice with the people from that business. The first time they were getting underway and the Commission postponed purchase of the equipment. ` The 2nd meeting, the Commission felt they would be able to know if they were going to go with the business if they extended to April 1. We have not 1 heard anytning from them since. we have had a number of people under age 18 who cannot use the other equipment. The Commission felt this should be a Council decision. Councilwoman Glick suggested as a gesture of good faith, the City should contact them and see how they feel about this. She asked if the City equipment is the same as the business. Mr. McGillivray replied no, this is like the high school's. The City has a hydra gym, it is safer, for younger people. City Manager Brighton added, it is a different li kind of equipment, but for the same purpose. fy� Councilman Wagoner said a hydra gym is better for building injured muscles than a universal li gym. He would like to see it for rehabilitation. ADJOURNMENT Meeting adjourned at 9:35 PM.

P&Z Commissiol KENAI CITY COUNCIL MAY 5, 1982 Partial Translation G-11 Discussion - Gusty Subdivision Improvements City Manager Brighton explained the reason,Ron Yamamoto has asked for additional land, so they had it platted. It has been to P&Z and they recom- mended platting. It will cost us a substantial amount of money. We have had a great deal of trouble with people putting in development without proper roads, now we are in the same situation we are attempting to correct. His suggestion is to do sections #1 & #2, not do #3. We have no requests for those. We., are going to need a road there be- cause of the ball park activity. It would be advis- able to do the work from Main St. Loop to Coho. If we don't we will have cars parking all over there. Councilman Wise asked if the plat had been approved in the clear zone by FAA, in writing. %irport Manager Swalley replied yes, with many restrictions. MOTION, s VOTES Councilman Measles moved, seconded by Councilwoman Glick, to proceed with the City Manager recommendations. Councilwoman Glick said she would like Administration to direct the surveyor to redirect lots 1,2,3 & 4, Block 2 + as unsubdivided. Councilman Maslton asked, are we eliminating the road that goes from there to lot Ave. Mr. Brighton said this is from Spur Hwy. to Cohoe, it will not eliminate the connection to Spur Hwy. Councilman Wise asked for a copy of the FAA comments. Councilman Mueller suggested we have units #1 & #2 platted and finalize Block #2. Council agreed to the suggestion. �± Recreation Director McGillivray said this was dis- cussed at the last Recreation Committee meeting. They were very concerned about the roadway past Estes Music. Would that be affected? Mr. Brighton replied, he doubted it. we would need an appropriation to get the money, we would have to do the engineering, award the bid and do the construction. It would not be this summer. Mr. McGillivray explained, 1st, Main St. Loop and Main St. Extended will be under i construction. They have no objection to platting, but were concerned about access. i Motions ppasse�d- unanimously by roll call vote. Janet Whelan City Clerk
