PUBLIC COr*EN":
Ruby Coyle spoke. The Borough is not assuming their
responsibilities to the people by not having annual
assessments. Title 29 and the Borough Code state
that their primary responsibility is to assess and
collect taxes. Without annual assessments, they
are not carrying out the law. She asked to strike
out the word "biannual."

Councilman Malston moves'., seconded by Councilman
Wise, to strike the words "or biannual" from the
amendment.

MOTIONS
Councilman Nueller moved, seconded by Councilman
Wagoner, to adopt the resolution.
MOTION, Amendment:
Councilman Wagoner moved, seconded by Councilman
Mniston, to amend the resolution to read, in the
NOW THEREFORE line, line 3, delete the words,
"---installation of a cable television system---"
and add "application of Peninsula Cablevision Inc.
to install cable TV system."
Councilman Wagoner said he has checked into both
systems and from what he knows, that is the best
company to provide service at this time. Council-
man Wise said he will not support this. The State
has commissioned $8 Million to support service in
the area. The project is not due to come into
operation till later this month. He wondered if
there would be much support for Cable TV when this
is on the line. We will have good reception on 4
channels. He would like to see what the State
will do. Councilman Wagoner replied thi3 is a
private endeavor. There are a lot of things delivered
that are not on the national networks. Councilman
Measles added, the upgrading would serve those not
on the cable system. The system is only feasible
in densely populated areas. He noted the other
system has held a permit for some time in Anchorage
and has not done :anything. He didn't think they will
serve Kenai till they get Anchorage done.

Motion passed, with Councilman Wise voting no.

Mueller, to adopt the substitute resolution as

the rights of way held by the Federal Government.
Councilman Wise replied that is one of the major
points of discussion between the State and the
Federal Government, insuring that we have the ability
to transfer the system. They were not concerned
with Kenai, it is primarily Canada, Nome, etc. We
are just asking consideration for Kenai. He added

CGunCiliu.�.ri ::ACjviacr said Sic rC'v L=n=" tlll.;, hC'. felt
Council should support their position, and should
inform the legislators from Kenai area. He requested
„ Administration prepare a resolution in support of
the Cordova action.
Council agreed to the request.
F. OLD BUSINESS
F-1 Carmen Gintoli - Airport Development Design
Mr. Gintoli said he had the changes as requested in
the Work Session. An observation area is provided.
The added alternate is enclosing the area. It will
be 2300 sq. ft. additional space. They will replace
the boiler. Regarding temporary facilities, they
have proposed obtaining the old FAA building. It
will cost $3,000 or $4,000 to mo.. it, $10,000 to
renovate it and $1500 to install iz. It will be
a total of $14,500 to use. Leasing two trailers
would cost $40,000, and the old FAA building could
be sold after. Councilman Malston asked, how long
will this take? Mr. Gintoli replied about 10 months.
Councilman Malston noted it will be hard on the -
lounge and restaurant. Mr. Gintoli replied because
of the tight spaces in the waiting room, the lounge
would get more business. Councilman Malston asked
about the secured area. Mr. Gintoli replied it
will have to be in the building or add a temporary
structure in front. He added they hope to do all the
inside work in the Winter, the outside in Spring.
Council discussed the problems regarding location
of the security area. Councilman Wagoner asked
that Atty. Delahay talk to the present lease holders
as to their problems, and make inquiries of current
carriers what their space requirements would be and
if they will commit themselves. Mr. Gintoli replied
they have discussed this with the carriers, they
are willing to pay the higher amount. But it is
a good idea to write a letter. He added, with the
expansion, they are up to 11,285 sq. ft., at about
$150 sq. ft., it is up to $2.35 Million. Council-
man Wagoner recommended the additional space be
an added alternate. Mr. Gintoli said the baggage
area and conveyor system could also. Councilman
Malston asked, what about the freight? Mr. Gintoli
replied it would not be handled there. They know
about this and will handle it.
MOTION:
Councilman Wise moved, seconded by Councilman
Measles, to confirm the work session decision
(plan 1) and direct Mr. Gintoli proceed to develop
as he has said tonight with the design phase.
Councilman Wagoner said he has a problem with
coming up with $750,000. We should pare down to
the amount available. The added alternate proposal
will change what was accepted at the work session.
';. PUBLIC COMMENT:
{ y Ruby Coyle spoke. She asked, if the City doesn't
get the money, where will it come from? Council-
man Measles replied, it is the intent of Council
to not exceed the amount available.
Motion passed, with Councilmen tduellPr and Wagoner
voting no.

Councilman wise asxea it Administration could pre-
pare a revenue picture, what will it do to the
airport budget?
G. NEW BUSINESS
G-1 Bills to be Paid, Bills to be Ratified
MOTION:
Councilman Malston moved, seconded by Councilman
Measles, to approve the bills with the exception
Of the Central Peninsula Development for $3,000.
Councilman Mueller asked, what about the construction
costs listed here instead of separately under New
Business? Finance Director Brown replied, the Code
says payments over $1,000 have to be approved, but
not in what form. We have done this in the past
to make things go faster. We have put these on the
list, the pay estimates are still on the agenda.
Councilman Wagoner suggested those the Council wishes
to take action on be put on the list and put the
back-up in the packet.
Councilman Wagoner said he had asked at the last
meeting about the people working on the Arts Center,
were they bonded and insured or is the City paying
the taxes. This should be taken care of. Atty.
Delahay said the work is done now. Finance Director
Brown said he and Public Works Director Kornelis
checked into this. For withholding purposes, they
should have been put on the payroll. Also, the
money was in the wrong account to make them em-
ployees. They are covered for Workmen's Comp. As
for withholding, that is an open question.
Motion passed with Councilman Wagoner voting no.
MOTION, Central Peninsula Development, $3,000
Councilman Wise moved, seconded by Councilman
Wagoner, to pay Central Peninsula Development $3,000.
Motion failed unanimously by roll call vote.
G-2 Requisitions Exceeding $1,000
MOTION:
Councilman Malston moved, seconded by Councilman
Measles, to approve the requistions.
Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote.
G-3 Ordinance 737-81 - Repealing & Re -Enacting KMC for
City to Match Employees Contribution for Benefits
in Lieu of Social Security Plan
MOTION:
Councilman Wise moved, seconded by Councilman
Mueller, to introduce the ordinance, amending item
23.40.100, lines 4 & 5, to delete "---then in effect
in the Social Security System," and adding "---of
$29,700,".
Atty. Delahay said the original wording was put in
because this is to put in PERS and this restricts
the percentage. If Council wishes to go under PERS
they should leave the same words in. Councilman
KENAI CITY COUNCIL

Wise replied the problem is he wanted the taxable
wage base as of Dec. 31, 1981 because it is not
effective till Jan. 19, 1982. It is consistent with
State law. The ordinance is introduced this date
for the employees to have a public hearing on
Dec. 17, 1981. He added he hoped the employees
would appear and testify. Atty. Delahay asked that
the employees review any proposed amendments with
him before the public hearing. Councilman Wagoner
said it is up to Council to make the decision regard-
ing opting out of Social Security. After that time,
the decision should be made on what we will do with
the 6.5%. It is not up to the employees. We should
look at future City employees, not just the present
ones. Atty. Delahay said the problems can be dis-
cussed at the Dec. 17, 1981 meeting. Council has
4 alternatives:
1. Do nothing.
2. Rescind the action and stay in.
3. Not rescind, get out of Social Security and
go under PERS or other benefit.
4. Request Social Secuity to continue for one
more year.
Atty. Delahay added there will be drastic changes
in the next year.
Motion passed with Councilman Wagoner voting no.
MOTION, Special Meeting:
Councilman Wise moved, seconded by Councilman
Measles, to have a public hearing on Dec. 17, 1981

Councilman Wagoner moved, seconded by Councilman
Wise, to direct Atty. Delahay and City Manager
Brighton meet with Bob Roper to draft an agreement
similar to the one of Dec. 3, 1980 to be sent to
the Harbor Commission for comment to Council.
Councilman Wagoner explained this is the agreement
drafted that set a pre -agreed upon price. Council-
man Mueller asked if the agreement required property
and permits be free of encumbrances. Councilman
Wagoner replied yes.
Gary Davis spoke. He explained he was representing
Bob Roper. The matter was brought to the Harbor
Commission 12-1-81. The Harbor Commission had
problems dealing with any matter dealing with Mr.
Roper due to directions from Council to not have

VOTE, Main Motion with Amendment:
Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote.
Councilman Wagoner noted City Manager Brighton
should be notified that the next Harbor Commission
meeting is prior to the next Council meeting.
G-12 Discussion - Kenai/Soldotna Relations
Councilman Wise said he asked that this be put on
the agenda. It is about time the cities re-establish
a working relationship. Both cities are affected
by any significant development. The 911 system is
a start. Particularly the water problem in N. Kenai.
A proposal was made for a joint water utility. He
would like to see this pursued. If we do this, we
can obtain State funds for this. Union Chemical
almost didn't start their expansion because of water
problems. Doyon, Dow/Shell, Tesoro and others plan
expansion. The Borough record has not been beneficial.
The Borough does not have the authority, the cities
do. He would suggest Mayor O'Reilly contact the
Soldotna Mayor and have a meeting of both Councils
here or in Soldotna, or in a neutral area to discuss
problems of mutual benefit to both communities.
Councilman Wagoner said he has not seen a request
by any industries to get water. The homesteaders
feel there is a problem, but he has not heard from
industry. It is not the city's responsibility to
start proposals but to react to industries' proposals.
If industry wants water, they will request it.
Ruby Coyle spoke. She said she could remember when
Union Chemical came for their 2nd permit. It was
delayed for 2 years while they did studies. At the
last hearing there was research by firms and USGS.
It said we should put in a water line from Beaver
Loop aquafor and within 2 years from Kenai River
in Soldotna. For development of the urper Peninsula
the most important thing is to have water. Lakes
have dropped out north, they have come back recently.
We have had much rain in the last few years. We
have made reports and never gone on with them.
Kenai does not have enough water now. Councilman
Wagoner said when the report was made, none of
industry would support the report. Councilman
Malston said if we wish additional industry in this
area, one of the things that will make it happen is
to have a plan for industrial water. Councilman
Measles said if new industry wanted to build a plant
they will build a line to supply. Private industry
can do it cheaper than government. Councilman Wise
said he mentioned water but the overall thrust of
his comment is that Kenai and Soldotna should start
working together. There are other items we can
work on.
Roger Meeks spoke. He agreed with Mrs. Coyle regard-
ing getting together on a water line. In 1966 an
industrial water line was discussed. In order to
build one they had to get bonded. They would have
to get a committment from industry to have it built.
When they want it they will come to us or build it
themselves.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL
DEC. 2, 1981
Page 9
Waldo Coyle spoke. He attended the water hearings,
I There is much need for water but industry will not
give a commit ment. It is not going to hurt to
dig up the studies and review. Cooperation with
Soldotna is like dealing with the Russians. Alaska
jhas a problem with water but until it hurts no one
will do anything.
Gary Davis spoke. He has seen friction between
Kenai and Soldotna. The water line is a good deal.
It was brought up when Alpet.co was discussed. Their
source was to be Kenai River. Kenai Natives had
thought of a private utility concept. USGS studies
are available, but it is worth the attempt to meet
with Soldotna. The railroad is a good example.
We would have more clout that way. Also, the muni-
cipal grant situation. If there was a central point
for both communities, it would cost less.
' Public Works Director Kornelis spoke. They have talked
with Soldotna on street light maintenance as a joint
venture and operation of the new sewer treatment plants.
Councilman Wise asked that Mayor O'Reilly explore
--, this.
Council agreed to the suggestion.
H. REPORTS
H-1 City Manager
City Manager Brighton was absent.
1. Police Chief Ross spoke on the proposed 911
system. There have been meetings held and
there will be 2 more. This will be submitted
to the Borough for approval. Grant funds are
adequate for at least 2 years. Councilman
Mueller noted it will be at the Trooper site,
on Kalifonsky Rd., but the cost factor favors
the Kenai site. Chief Ross replied technology
does favor Kenai, if the system ever stood
alone, down town Kenai is the better site. Their
main problem is the line between Soldotna and
the Trooper offices, but this is not a large
problem. Councilman Wise asked what is the
formula for operating expenses when State
monies run out? Chief Ross replied that has
not been given consideration yet. There is
no large cost involved. The State feels very
receptive to this also. Councilman Wise asked,
should he propose a benefit analysis to the
cities? Chief Ross replied this is subjective
judgement. In a panic this would be the number
you would call. The benefits outweigh the
problems. Councilman Wise said he would like
to see the benefits to households. Police
Chief Ross said the projected 1st year budget
is about $100,000, the 2nd year is below that.
It covers Sterling to Ninilchik. He added he
would like input from Council before the final
meeting. Kenai is cheaper, but Kenai dispatchers
handle walk-ins, etc. The work load in Kenai
is much larger. Councilman Wise said he would
like:
a. Census data of the area served, he wants
a per capita cost.
b. Will this system reduce the work load of
the city's communications.

Chief Ross replied it will not reduce the work
load. It provides a 911 number and is more
beneficial to the citizens. It is an intangible
benefit.
H-2 City Attorney
Atty. Delahay spoke.
1. He noted the amendments to the Social Security
ordinance will be submitted at the Dec. 17, 1981
meeting.
2. Regarding renovations on the Fine Arts building.
At the last meeting and the present meeting we
have approved much money. He reviewed the
Charter regarding public improvements. We
also have a competitive bidding ordinance. We
should change the ordinance if it is wrong. At
a $35,000 renovation we are evading the intent
of the ordinance.
3. Regarding excused absences of Council members.
There is no provision for excused absences in
the Charter. We can amend the Charter at the
next election to add excused absences.
-ram.-- 4. Atty. Delahay asked to take 12-4-81 for
personal 1sa='e.
Council had no objection.
H-3 Mayor
vice Mayor Glick spoke.
1. There was a meeting of Council members with
the Kitimat Council of Canada. The Indians
of that area met with the Kenaitze tribe. She
noted we have similar and different problems.
2. She accepted a plaque for Mayor O'Reilly from
the U.S. Army commemorating the one year Fort
Kenay was under the U.S. Army, 1869 to 1870.
z"
It will be placed on Fort Kenay.
3. Regarding the proposed Christmas party. The
letter in the packet from Atty. Delahay was a
-
moot question as the Council has voted to pay
for the party. Last year Council paid for
the Christmas party. This is not an office
party per se, the City employees have their
own. Based commentsreceived, she requested
Clerko

cities on the

Peninsula. The Borough, Soldotna, Homer and
Seward are all no -host. There were petitions
y
among the employees asking Council to cancel

1 the party. The petitions were not returned.
We should not be considered Scrooge but we
'
are in charge of City funds. The people should
'
remember what happened 10 years ago when small
problems snowballed.
`.;
MOTION:
Councilman Wise moved, seconded by Councilman Mueller,
that the Christmas party be cancelled.
Councilman Measles asked, how many signed the peti-
tions. Clerk Whelan replied, about 12 or 15 on the
one that was returned. Finance Director Brown noted

the original signed petition wab iubz, and a 2nd
one was distributed. Police Chief Ross said of the
petition distributed in his dept., 10 signed, 1 didn't
care and one wanted the party. Councilman Measles
asked the Dept. Heads what was the reaction in their
departments. 6 of the 7 dept. heads reported if the
party creates problems, they could like to cancel.
Public Works Director Kornelis said Public Works
has its own party every year, he had not discussed
it with them.

1982. There will be a work session Dec. 3, 1981.

1. Ruby Coyle spoke. She has strong feelings on
the priority list of capital improvements. To
