PERSONS PRESENT SCHEDULED TO BE BEARD B-1 Harbor Commission Chairman John Williams - TAMS Boat Ramp Project Proposal Mr. Williams said he had 2 items to discuss, re- lating to the memos distributed this date. a. The removal of the derelict vessel, OPTIMIST. There are 2 other boats in the area now that have been put up for sale. The OPTIMIST has been there many years. b. Approval of the TAMS proposal. The Wince, Corthell & Bryson proposal has been set aside. The TAMS proposal has been reveiwed. The Harbor Commission recommendation is to go ahead with the TAMS proposal. The contract, $83,000, is higher than Wince, Corthell & Bryson, but Wince, Corthell & Bryson is only cursory. TA14S agreed to do this as an on -going contract with their current contract. The Harbor Commission feels all the work should be done together. Also, the high Lost is for engineering design of a marine fueling system. That could be 1/2 of the total cost. It is proposed to be able, to be moved from a temporary to a permanent site. 6 M KENAI CITY COUNCIL, SEPT. 1,1982 Page 2 140TION : Councilman Wagoner moved, seconded by Councilman Measles, to approve the TAMS proposal; Councilwoman Glick asked Mr. Williams, on item B of the Wince, Corthell 6 Bryson proposal, what kind of a rendering is discussed? Mr. Williams replied, they had requested a rendering of all in the area, Coyle's had already been surveyed, it will be brought together. Councilman Wise said he could not go for a proposal that is more than double the other. Council- man Wagoner explained there is not an approvable marine terminal in the area. Councilwoman Glick asked, wasn't the Harbor Commission going to contact the other facilities to see if other processors would be willing to give up their fueling facilities? Mr. Williams replied Secy. Loper was asked to do this. Also, TAWS has suggested this contract be a not -to - exceed cost. Councilwoman Glick noted this proposal with Wince, Corthell & Bryson was 6 to 7 months ago. Did the Harbor Commission go back and check with them? Mr. Williams replies_ no. The Harbor Commission feels it should be with one contractor. VOTE (Passed) s Yes: O'Reilly, Glick, Hall, Measles, Wagoner Nos Wise Atty. Delahay asked to address the derelict vessel, OPTIMIST. It takes 6 months to go through the pro- cedures for this. This does not mean it cannot be moved, but it should be done very carefully so as not to damage it. If it is moved, it will fall apart. He has been told it is owned by Don Wright, who felt it was historical and wanted it restored. It could be moved to City property and go through abandonment procedures. Councilman Wagoner asked, Is that on City property or Coyle property? Ruby Coyle replied, it is 1/2, 1/2. She added, it is a hazard and should be removed. MOTION: Councilman Wagoner moved, seconded by Councilman Hall, to direct Administration to remove, piece by piece, the OPTIMIST and haul it to the land fill. City Manager Brighton said the City hired an appraiser in case there was a lawsuit. He place the value at $750. He is a marine surveyor. Councilman Wagoner added Mr. Wright has not seen it for several years. Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote. B-2 Discussion - Community Center Building Roger Meeks spoke. He reviewed the letter from the Historical Society passed out this date. It seems most of the objection of Council was the expense to restore. The Historical Society feels it is historical. They cannot get State money till it is 30 yrs. old. They have talked to Juneau, and the answers seem favorable for State grants in 2 years when it is 30 years old. Every city has buildings they are restor- ing. They feel strong enough about this to do the work themselves. They are in a project of writing the history of the City, they are trying to stay away KENAI CITY COUNCIL SEPT. 1, 1982 Page 3 from State or Federal funds because they want to get their nose in the project. But they will use these Fnr . %% ^ ., - :nn -f the Poird not the bony. They will bring it to the wnLie_ Away at their.' Sept. 12 meeting. Councilman Wise said the water line broke when it was under lease. It is the City's responsibility to repair it. The Historical Society had every intention of renewing. The whole issue came up when the water repair was brought up. The lease should have been extended. The terms of the lease are that the operation was the responsibility of the Historical Society. Mr. Meeks said they did not extend the lease, they did not know. City Manager Brighton did call him, but he forgot. They renewed their liability insurance as if they had a lease renewal. He and the City Manager had agreed the repairs had to wait till Spring.They acted in good faith. City Manager Brighton said the lease has not expired. The lease was not on a basis of renewal, it was $1 for a certain number of years. The building can be torn down after 30 days notice, that notification has been made. Council- woman Glick said the lease should be continued, the City has some responsibility. She had asked Atty. Delahay to look into the legal documents on the transfer of land. Atty. Delahay explained the land was set aside for a Library by the Civic League. There was a con- version clause, if it ceased being used as a library in 10 years, it would revert. The property set aside for the library to be built is not where the Community Center is. So the clause does not concern this build- ing. Councilwoman Glick suggested a trade of land. Mr. Meeks said all they want is to keep the old build- ing. Atty. Delahay explained the title to the piece on the corner has reverted to the Civic League. There is nothing in the record that they gave all their land to the City. If there are any surviving members of the Civic League, there are still ways to conduct action on this. MOTIONS Councilwoman Glick moved, seconded by Councilman Hall, that the action of the July 7, 1982 meeting be rescinded. Councilwoman Glick said a fine example of what can be done with old buildings is the Fine Arts building. It was in bad shape, Council felt it was worth re- pairing. it is now an attractive building, this one can be also. Councilman Wagoner said it cost more than it should in the Fine Arts building, and this will be the same. Councilman Wise said we have an obligation to restore the water. The Historical Society has said they are adequately prepared to restore the building. They are not asking for money at this time. Ruby Coyle spoke. The building was used as a City Hall as well as a library. She thought the use the City had when they had no place else to meet would justify repair. It was also the first public health office, it was built with donated labor. It has much sentimental value.

MOTIONS Councilman Wise moved, seconded by Councilwoman Glick, for the City to restore water to the build- ing post haste. Councilman Wagoner asked, where is it broken? City Manager Brighton replied, under the slab, they are not sure where. They will have to dig to find it. There will also have to be a special connection made to the water line. It is now connected through the Fine Arts Center. VOTE (Failed)s Yess Wise, O'Reilly, Glick Nos Hall, Measles, Wagoner MOTIONS Councilman Measles moved, seconded by Councilman Hall, to accept the Historical Society proposal.

Clerk Whelan asked if the ordinance could be further amended to read that the Deputy City Clerk be nominated by the City Clerk and appointed by resolution of the City Council. She felt the appointment should be with the recommendation of the Clerk. Councilman Measles replied the appointment has to be made by resolution, input could be made at that time.

Councilman Wise said he regrets we have not stuck with the assessment aspect of the project. It is an im- portant principle. We just went to Thompson Park and asked for assessments. They know we will not ask for assessments. It will hurt us in the long run. Councilman Wagoner said we have said we are not going to make any assessment districts when we are receiving State funds. Atty. Delahay noted the funds are coming from Municipal Aid. $1 Million or more must be approved by the voters. For improve - meets, it is $5 Million. The question is whether water & sewer are improvements or street improvements. He noted Finance Director Brown has asked the State for an answer. Councilman Wise asked if we could shuffle to reduce the amount of funds. Mr. Brown replied, no, the project is !ghat they look at. Council has already asked for the grant. Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote. Councilman Wise asked if we intended to ask for DEC i matching funds for water & sewer. Public works Director Kornelis replied, yes, for the water & sower portion. We asked for 70%-75%, they said it was only 50% matching funds.

C-8 Resolution 82-92 - for Oct. 5, 1982 Election - Bonding be Applied to High School Auditorium Construction MOTION: Counc'ilm4n Wagoner moved, seconded by Councilman Wise, to adopt the resolution. PUBLIC COMMENTS 1. Chris Monfor, Citizens for KCHS Auditorium. They would 'like the City to withdraw the reso- lution to offer $250,000. They appreciate the intent, but they do not need the negative reaction. If the City votes against the $250,000 it will look bad. They hope the Council will continue to support the auditorium. 2. Roger Meeks. He thought people thought it was a mistake. The City should not get into this thing. If one goes yes and one goes no, we look bad. 3. Ruby Coyle. All those she has contacted were afraid this might have the bearing we don't want it to have. She asked to have it on the ballot to make sure it was legal. People re- member when we were in a 7 mill budget and spending on a 15 mill budget. Our assessments went up to 15 mills. We paid 15 mills to get out of that and now we are giving away money. She felt the fire substation in East Kenai is more important to tax payers. MOTION, Tables Councilman wise moved, seconded by Councilwoman Glick, to table the resolution. Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote. MOTION, Reconsiderations Councilman Wise moved, seconded by Councilwoman Glick, for immediate reconsideration of Resolution 82-89. Mayor o'ssw^iily said 'At waa never Council's intent to spend the money for buying votes. What was looked I k V1 KENAI CITY COUNCIL SEPT. 1, 1982 Page 8 at was, the funds were in a particular bond account for a specific purpose. The amourytz available could not accomplish that purpose, and by assisting in the Borough construction of the high school auditorium a large part of the purpose of the bind issue could be fulfilled.

MOTION, Postponements Councilman wagoner moved, seconded by Councilman Hall, to postpone action till Administration has an itemized list of costs. Councilman Measles noted if we wait too long, we will have snow. Councilwoman Glick asked if it could be done in-house. City Manager Brighton replied we do not have the manpower with construction and the old work being done. When we can do it in-house, it will be snowing. Councilman Measles said we could adopt the original resolution, we are looking at 4-8 weeks for delivery. During that time we can get estimates on installation.

City Manager Brighton explained Public Works Secretary 'raylor floes not need nor desire a word processing type- writer because it does not accomodate what she wants. Public Works Director Kornelis explained they need a system that can be simply a typewriter at times that does not have to go through a word processing system. City Manager Brighton noted the 2 girls in the office with word processors also have typewriters. Council- man Wagoner said this is not a good unit for the price. --- --- He asked that the resolution be voted down and Mrs. Taylor talk to the lady at the College.

E-3 Billie Hardy, Kenai Peninsula Community Care Center - Fund Drive Mayor O'Reilly said Mrs. Hardy would like to come to Council when they wish it. P. OLD BUSINESS P-1 Car & Aircraft Rentals in Airport Terminal City Manager Brighton explained this is the easiest and the tenants have not objected to this.

F-3 Ordinance 792-82 - Amending Kenai Municipal Code - Control of Legislative Transportation Accounts (Reconsideration) KENAI CITY COUNCIL SZ?T . 1., 1982 Page 12 MOTION, Reconsideration: Councilwoman Glick moved, seconded by Councilman Measles, to reconsider the ordinance. VOTE (Passed): Yess Wise, O'Reilly, Glick, Hall, Measles Not Wagoner Councilman Measles explained the reason for the re- consideration is he cannot see the point in an ordi- nance to control this. There has not been advantage taken of the situation as it has been. It will just create annoyances at every meeting. The budget has been set up. Councilman Wagoner said there has been no control set up. There should be someone who controls the budget. This was not for $50 trips, but for long duration, out -of -State trips. That is the Council responsibility. 1 or 2 people should not have the authority to travel without Council author- ization. It should be planned far enough in advance for them to come to Council. Councilman tM.asles said he agrees with long -duration trips, but unexpected things do come up. It would be impossible to get Council approval in advance. Mayor O'Reilly said it would be good to have some type of control, but situa- tions do come up that quick decisions should be made. Councilwoman Glick said in the last 6 years she has been on Council she didn't think anyone had abused this. For the most part, they have been frugal. They could be more specific when they set the budgets. She had a situation come up, she thought that was why this was brought up. The City has received recognition as a result of this. You have to become involved for a city to be recognized. Councilman Wagoner said the way the ordinance has been revised, it does not change anything we have now. It does not give any control over Council. He did not think Councilwoman Glick's trip was necessary, we should promote Kenai at home, not outside. VOTE (Failed)s Yes: O'Reilly, Glick Nos wise, Hall, Measles, Wagoner G. NEW BUSINESS G-1 Bills to be Paid, B<lls to be Ratified MOTIONS Councilwoman Glick moved, seconded by Councilman Measles, to approve the bills as submitted.

G-3 Discussion - Change in Library Regulations MOTIONS Councilwoman Glick moved, seconded by Councilman Measles, for approval as outlined in the memo with recognition of the letter from Atty. Delahay dated Aug. 11, 1982. Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote. G-5 Discussion - Kenai Regional Transportation study City Manager Brighton said Public works Director Kornelis is an Advisory Board member and has attended all the sessions. Mr. Kornelis explained the Kenai Transporation study is being done by the state for a long range plan for the Kenai Peninsula. Mr. Kornelis felt they should be discussing road improvements- harbor and airports were discussed. They did not get a final report. DOT will use the study for a report to the Governor. Mr. Brighton noted most of the Committee felt roads were the most important item. Mr. Kornelis said the Kenai Transportation study is an entity on itself. DOT develops its own budget. This is a guideline, no one has a vote. Mr. Brighton emphasized DOT did not pay any attention to the recommendations of the Kenai Transportation Board. Of the money allocations of about $30 Million, $18 Million or morn went to Homer. The only financial recommendation for Kenai area was a traffic study for spur & willow, and the Bridge Access Rd. Less than 10% of the population gat most of the money. Mr. Kornelis explained, the study is not complete yet. We have not received Phase 3 yet. They meet 2 or 3 times a year. Woodward/Clyde is doing the study. They decided to split the study into roads, airports and harbors. At the last meeting KENAI CITY COUNCIL SEPT. 1, 1982 Page 14 they were presented with this recommendation. They said they used the Regional Transportation Study. Last year they did not have a study, they asked their maint- enance people for input. He added the State neople were upset that the Board did not agree with their recommendation. Councilman Wagoner said the Council should take action, they should contact Gov. Hammond and DOT Commissioner Ward. The road between Kenai and Soldotna is bad with the patching. That is the most heavily traveled road in the Peninsula. It should be resurfaced before it is irreparable. Mr. Kornelis added, after the meeting, they got the general trend that the roads were important to the Peninsula. Vicki Cannard of DOT told him they did add the Kenai/Soldotna road, it will not take away from these recommendations. NOTIONS ! Councilman Wagoner moved, seconded by Councilman Hall, to object to the priorities as established and a high priority be made 'or the Kenai/Soldotna road. NOTION, Amendments Councilman Wagoner moved, with consent of second, to include in the motion, that we have asked for airport funds here that were not included but Homer was included.
