G-S Discussion - Addition of 2nd K-9 Unit for Police Dept. Police Chief Ross explained, this would give the dept. the capability of having a K-9 on the street every night of the week.. Councilman Wagoner asked, where would the funds come from? Chief Ross replied, non - departmental. If they were to convert an old vehicle, it could come out of contingency, etc. He did not have the money appropriated because the dog was donated and has been trained. Councilman Wagoner asked, of the 03,500, how much is for refurbishing the old unit? Chief Ross replied, the radio, light bars, sirens, internal modifications and engine rebuild. $2,400 is for the radio alone. Councilman Wagoner asked, why can't they use the same vehicle for both dogs and have the policeman take another vehicle home? Chief Ross replied, there have been instances when both were needed. There is also a problem when one is down. Also, the dog handlers "like to have the dog used to the scent of the car and not take time to get used to it. Councilman Wise asked, the bulk of the cost is for equipment? Chief Ross replied yes, instead of discarding a car this year, they are going to fix it to use for 2 more years. MOTIONS Councilman Measles moved, seconded by Councilwoman Bailie, to have Administration draw up a resolution to fund the proposal. Vice Mayor Malston asked Chief floss, are there times when he could use 2 dogs? Chief Rosa replied, he would not put both out at one time, but there are times when it would bo good to have 2 dogs. He could call the 2nd one in when the other was being used. He could not say how many times a year, but they have made the dog available to Homer and the State Troopers. Councilman wagoner explained, the reason he was pur- suing this is because last year we went through this with EMT. It started at one level and kept growing. Chief Ross said he did not anticipate the dog handler would be paid any more than other men, with the except- ion of food and insurance. VOTE (Passed): Xess Ackerly, Bailie, Mals;ton, Measles, Wise No: Wagoner G-9 Petition Regarding Airport Windows } KENAI CITY COUNCIL DEC:. 1, 1982 Page 5 A Councilman wise noted the Council had ple.nned for an observation area and funding did not permi., it. With FSS being abandoned, it will not be in the area and that could be used for an observation area. Architect Carmen Gintoli said it is a matter of the public seeing the mountains but the people woring there cannot. There is 40 ft. of glass for the general public and an addit- ional 50 ft. in front. The workers cannot see the planes come in. Vice Mayor Malston asked, do they have to see the planes come in? Mr. Gintoli replied, there are very few airports where they can see the planes. Vice Mayor Malston asked, where are we at the present time? Mr. Gintoli replied, all the walls are in, they are framing the interior petitions, the electricity is in. Airport Manager Swalley said he was informed this after- noon that it was to be presented to Council. They have 12 ft. less glass than we had before. A lot of people who signed the petition had it misrepresented to them and thought there was no glass. Council agreed not to discuss it further. H. REPORTS H-1 City Manager City Manager Brighton was out of town, no report. H-2 City Attorney Atty. Rogers said he and City Manager Brighton had a meeting with APUC regarding Inlet Visions and HEA. Regarding Inlet Visions, he met this week with their attorney, they will want to be at the next Council ii meeting, regarding charges and compensations on use of the streets. Regarding HEA, they are asking for specific locations of the old poles. Atty. Rogers felt we should go to PUe before going to Court. Councilman Wise asked, when are we going to get this resolved? He would hate to see $4 Million worth of projects held up if it is not resolved. Atty. Rogers replied, he did not anti- cipate it would stop the contracts. There can be interim actions made by PUC or the Court if it is in litigation. He felt HEA agreed with that. H-3 Mayor Vice Mayor Malston said he spoke to Mayor O'Reilly this date, he expressed his apologies for not being here, and would not be at the work session 12-2.

Public Works Director Kornelis spoke regarding item C-4, Res. 82-132. Since Council had tabled it and given him the impression that they do not want carpet laid at Ft.

Councilman Wagoner referred to item C-5, Ord. 824-82. Regarding Thompson Park, Council has r decided sewer is out, what about the streets? -- } Is it going to cost us additional if we want water when the streets are built? Public Works Director Kornelis replied, yes, that City Mana- ger Brighton had said 50% did not want water. Councilman Wagoner said he didn't think we could stand on the survey, people who have contacted him say if they cannot have sewer they at least want water. There is more concern in that area for contamination of water & sewer than in Candle- light/Linwood. Councilman Wise asked, what is the design criteria on lot & 2nd? Mr. Kornelis "+ replied, Mumson Subdivision, lot, 2nd Sts. from Redoubt to Florida - sewer & street improvements. Councilman Wise asked, regarding the drain - there is a storm drain, but Quadra said outfall had to be repaired. Is that included? Mr. Kornelis re- plied, if necessary. Councilman Wise asked, what about renovation of 1st & 2nd, California? They :x.. are bad and we have people living there. Mr. Kornelis replied, if you wish, they can be added. Councilman Wise asked to put on an addendum on lot - & 2nd to fully describe the problems included. Also - California & at the bluff. Also - review the status of Mumson Subdivision and their life span. Vice Mayor Malston asked Mr. Kornelis what he wanted on this item. Mr. Kornelis replied he would like a Public Works Committee meeting Dec. 13 so engineering could be awarded Dec. 15. Local Service Roads & Trails money has to be allo- cated by Dec. 31. Councilman Wagoner said, Aliak, McCollum, Cinderella, Fox, Linwood Ext., Standard, Richfield, Thompson Place are old projects that are fairly high. Mr. Kornelis explained Thompson Pk. was good because it took a big portion of the money. We would have to take many smaller projects to make it to that. Councilman Wagoner asked, at what point could water be added without additional -. funding? Mr. Kornelis replied it would be less F than combining the 2 projects. We would have to j allocate additional funds for adding water. Council- man Wagoner agreed to the meeting date. Iie suggested we go ahead with Thompson Pk. roads and negotiate at a later date in an amount.
