Drainage Study - $52,000
a. Substitute Ord. 725-81 - Drainage Study &

MOTION:
Councilman Malston moved, seconded by Councilman
Wise, to adopt the ordinance.
MOTION, Amendment:
Councilwoman Glick moved, seconded by Councilman
Measles, to adopt Substitute Ordinance 725-81.
There was no public comment.
Councilwoman Glick explained Public Works Director
Kornelis felt that defining the scope of the
project may be too restrictive. He would like
more flexibility. He would like to add the topo-
graphy at this time. We do have monies available.
Councilman Wise said he was surprised at the sub-
stitute ordinance. It was made without notification.
The money back-up was not brought forward till this
date (12-16-81). He questions the drainage section.
We cannot keep open what we have now. We are surrend-
ering policy to Administration. He had asked for a
delay till the Soil Conservation Service gave their
report. We have not heard from them yet. Council-
man Wagoner said we should write a Request for
KENAI CITY COUNCIL
DEC. If, 1981
Page 2
Proposal, then set up the criteria, then ask for
quotes. Public Works Director Kornelis explained
the original funding started with a request for a
drainage study for Section 36 for $52,000. The
question was brought up to do the whole city. Two
ordinances were made and changed after that. In
talking with different engineering firms, they gave
us the $150,000 figure, that was a little high.
$70,000 was the figure we used for the topo. This
is just submitted as a suggestion. We only have a
draft of the flood study available. We have 3 possi-
bilities for funding, one is capital improvement
funds, one from City funds, or from a CEIP grant.
VOTE, Amendment:
Motion failed by unanimous roll call vote.
VOTE, Main Motion:
Motion failed, with Councilman Wise voting yes.
• MOTION:
Councilman Wagoner moved, seconded by Councilwoman
Glick, for Administration to draw up Request for
i Proposals, the scope of which would entail item
C-1 and Substitute C-1, and present to Council on
January 6, 1982.
Councilman Wise said he is opposed to photographic
work in the City. We need drainage now. The entire
Capital Improvement program goes around roads. We
are saying tonight not to do road work for 1-1/2
years. We have had topo work several years now.
Councilman Wagoner said all Capital Improvements
are on existing roads. It will not slow down the
Capital Improvements. Public Works Director Kornelis
said the topo and drainage could be done separately.
It would be more than $70,000 if we went to another
%5Kt1 film. OSHA already did a photo study, He suggested
i t po be done by the same firm. The drainage
study could be done by anybody. Councilman Wagoner
said he is talking about firm figures. Also, if
there are already phoLos, we should ask for them,
they are our property.
MOTION, Amendment:
Councilwoman Glick moved, seconded by Councilman
Wagoner, to:
a. Present the Request for Proposal to Council
through the mail and if they have problems
they would bring them to Council Jan. 6, 1982.
Otherwise Administration could advertise.
b. The Request for Proposals could be one for
topo and one for drainage.
VOTE, Amendment:
Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote.
VOTE, Main Motion with Amendment:
Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote.

City Manager Brighton asked if Administration should
apply for CEIP funds. Councilman Wise replied, topo -
yes, but the drainage is needed today. We will not
gain by waiting. City Manager Brighton replied it is
unreasonable to use our local funds if other funds
are available. He asked Public Works Director Kornelis,
are we designing roads without designing for drainage?
Public Works Director Kornelis replied, no, there are
quite a few. On the flood hazard study we are talking
about 5 different areas.

is $1,956,899, added alternate #1 is $71,040, for a

eliminate from the top down on the list. They would

able. Councilman Wise asked, what if needed for
funding? Mr. Gintoli replied, with the added alternate,
about $300,000. Councilman Wise asked, is $90,000
contingency adequate? Mr. Gintoli replied, he would
like to see more, it is 5% now. It should be higher
on renovation than on new construction.

Mr. Stephens asked, would the transient parking for
fi aircraft have to be moved? Mr. Gintoli replied yes,
-= it could be at the old City employee's parking lot.
Richard Kochanuski, Gate 54, spoke. He asked if
there was a plan dealing with the sewer system.
Mr. Gint:�:1 replied he was unaware of the problem.
Mr. Kochanuski noted the damage to the bathrooms
comes during the day also, and is not always from
bar patrons. He asked if the heating system has
been considered. Mr. Gintoli replied there would
be a smaller, more efficient boiler, forced hot
water & forced air, Mr. Kochanuski asked, what
is the design of the bathrooms. Mr. Gintoli replied
ceramic tile.
s Mayor O'Reilly asked, what is the cost for a temporary
facility? Mr. Gintoli replied, $14,500; it does not
show in the report.
Jack Nelson, Wien Air Alaska, spoke. He said a
security area must be available for the time the
jet is on the ground, it is not on the specs. They
will have to pull their service out till the work
is completed unless screening and security is secure.
They would be fined for each violation. He added,
if the airlines do any remodeling work, it will be
credited on the lease till it is paid off. That is
standard in the industry. Council asked Mr. Gintoli
- to check into the space requirements.
Dave Diamond, Southeentral Air, spoke. He asked if
his flights would hold during security checks for
Wien. Mr. Gintoli replied he understood they always
did. Mr. Diamond asked, is there any way to secure
the baggage? Mr. Gintoli replied behind the counter
as it is now.
Jack Nelson suggested decisions on the items be made
when the bid is made.
Airport Manager Swalley spoke. They have an imaginary
line for security, but when Wien is deplaning they have
a person at the door watching people loading. He added
the baggage handling process was not discussed. Also,
the sewer line problem should be handled.
Doug Haynes, Alaska Aeronautical, spoke. They will
need a security area for money and supplies.
Councilman Measles asked, what is the cost difference
between renovation and new construction? Mr. Gintoli
replied, renovation is $40 per sq. ft., new construction
is $150 per sq. ft., 8600 total sq. ft.

Councilman Wise said he would prefer we approve the
project as proposed and ask for additional funding
from Legislature and,rather than wait for funding,
provide from General Fund with the idea when the
money was approved we could refund. If it is not
obtained, we could loan to the Airport Fund. Finance
Director Brown said the airport has funds to cover.
Councilman Wagoner said the cost of the project is
immaterial till Ste come in with bids. We are talking
about $2 Million cap. We are also talking about a
Senior Center, Gym, Library, Small Boat Harbor, that
is a lot of capital projects. If we start going over
on every project, we are in trouble.
MOTION, Clarified:
Councilman Wagoner, with consent of second, clarified
his original motion. The base bid will include
$1,389,899 plus #2 (covered walkway), plus added
alternate $71,040, for a total of $1,550,939. In
addition, added alternates will be as follows:
#1 - Observation area
#2 - Toilets (item #8)
#3 - Renovation for future development (item #5)
#4 - Ticketing lobby (item #6)
#5 - Increasing ticket lculy 10 ft. (item #7)
#6 - Airlines paying for renovation (item #4)
#7 - Change conveyor belt from T to race track (item #3)
Councilman Measles said we should take a look at the
scope of the whole project. Maybe we should look at
a totally new terminal, and use the present one for
a freight terminal. Also, if we have a sewer problem,
with the cost we are thinking,there is a problem with
that. Also, we will end up with 2 buildings instead
of one.
Motion passed, with Mayor O`Reilly, Councilmen Measles,
Wagoner, Councilwoman Glick voting yes; Councilmen
Wise, Malston voting no.
Mr. Gintoli said he would have the revised drawings
for the Jan. 6, 1982 meeting, and will be out to
bid in February.

Councilman Wise asked, why are we over hudapt?
Recreation Director McGillivray replied, when they
submitted the budget they anticipated the hours for
the racquetball court and the Teen center. The original
request was cut. Due to demand, they are now open
longer hours. Councilwoman Glick s?;d Council was
concerned during budget sessions about hiring permanent
employees, are they still part time? Mr. McGillivray
replied yes. Councilwoman Glick said we are setting
a precedent by justifying increases by income. Police
and Fire Depts. could do the same. Mr. McGillivray
explained this was not used as justification, this was
just to show income, they did not have an estimated
revenue in our budget. Finance Director Brown explained
1 next year it will be in the budget. Also it will
not come from Fund Balance, the money is there now.
Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote.

they are similar in nature.
MOTION, To Tables
Councilman Wise moved to table this ordinance till
the hearing on Capital Improvement Projects is held.
Motion died for lack of a second.
Councilman Wagoner said he doesn't understand why
the City has to hire an engineer to do the study.
All it would take is a draftsman to do the study.
Councilwoman Glick said this was part of the P&Z
Capital Improvements recommendations. It was decided
that the best approach was to do a study. The study
is not appropriate capital improvement funds. Council-
man Wise said we scheduled the Capital Improvement
hearing for Sat. (12-19-81). If we are going to nickle
and dime on the projects, why do we work on a priority
list?
Motion passed with Councilman Wise voting no.

City Manager Brighton said Atty. Delahay and he
met with Bob Roper, and this is the agreeement
they worked out. Council had directed it go to
Harbor Commission for consideration and recommend-
ations. Harbor Commission met Dec. 15, 1981, but
did not have a quorum, so no action was taken. Atty.
Delahay noted the agreement has a Dec. 21, 1981 cut-
off date. Councilman Wise said he will abstain from
any action with Bob Roper, as he had actions with
him in the past. He added he objected to the agreement
as it is committing funds without an appropriating
ordinance. Without funds approved and public hearing
held, we are in violation of State law. Finance

this.

H. REPORTS
H-1 City Manager
City Manager Brighton spoke.
1. There are 2 Borough ordinance the City should
be aware of, one exempts certain community
service organizations from sales tax, and one
exempting senior citizens from sales tax. These
will have an impact on the City. Councilman
Wise suggested Administration formally ask for
the economic impact on the City.
Council agreed to the suggestion.
2. The City has been granted $1 Million for the
Senior Center. He and Atty. Delahay had a
meeting with FAA and discussed acquiring the
land. They will be having meetings to discuss

F-1 - C Gintoli, Airport (Jack Nelson)
Jack Nelson - Jack Nelson, Wien Air Alaska property. First of all I want to
compliment the architect on the plans. It looks very nice and
I'm sure the separated belt system in that is something that
makes it better for large groups coming off the aircraft. Our
biggest concern is the time while you're building the terminal.
We're very concerned how that's written into the specs to the
general contractor that he realizes that business has to be
carried on there during the construction and due to the fact
we have security where the other airline people out there don't.
When that jet's on the ground, if we don't have a free flow
through there, and security gates and someplace to hold the
people, the time the jet's on the ground will run too long and
we will be up against meeting a schedule when we go on to
Kodiak or someplace else. It's not shown here tonight how
we're going to do that. Our station manager down here explained
to us in Anchorage how he thought it was going to be done, using
a trailer and then just screening one person at a time as they
walk down a corridor to go to the jet. If that's so, and you
have 20 or 30 people, we won't be able to wait that long.
Someplace they have to be screened and held, in the summer
months, if it gets into summer construction. We're very concerned
that when you put the specs out to the general contractor that
he realizes that that's the situation. Normally, on remodeling
projects of this size you do half at a time and move the airlines
people into the other half and you've got those areas. But
without a holding area and without a screening area, it's a
problem for a jet operation with the number of people we've
got on the jet. We fall into a different category. The only
way we could do it if it's not available, we would have to
pull that type of service out until it was completed and depend
on Doug - AAI - or someone else because they're not under that
situation. But if the screening of people and the holding area
isn't taken into effect and we can't get the FAA to go al ong
with it, we're penalized $1,000.00 for every incident and there
could be four (4) incidents they could find on one thing if
they're passing each other in the hall or someplace that's not
secure. That's the big thing we're concerned about. The finished
terminal looks fine. One thing you - brought up that the airlines you were going to delete #4 and let the airlines finish their
own area. For a savings, that's not uncommon. But when the
airlines do that with the Port district or the State or anybody
else, they're credited back 10% a month against the money
that's spent, against their leases. That's how - we can go in
and do the work. We have to turn in a certified bill for that

Jack Nelson - (continued) work and if our lease payment was $400.00 a
month - $40.00 a month would go back. Only 102, til it's paid
off. It's a thing you can delete the cost to a later date but
it's picked up someplace on a lease base. That's standard
within the industry. You can check with it or Anchorage h
or anyplace. They can finish it, we pay ticket
fini
it, and pick it up on a back charge. But the temporary
counters and temporary holding deck, and to get that
passenger
through security and out to that aircraft is a big problem
with us and we wasted to emphasize that tonight. In case it

F-1 - C Gintoli, Airport (Rick Kochanuski)
Rich Kochanuski - my name is Richard Kochanuski. I am owner of (inaudible)
Gate 54 and Concorde Restaurant. And, one of things I'd like
to know is, what's in the plan - or in the proposal - you
submitted that deals with the present sewer system? Is there
any money there to upgrade it? The sewer system in that whole
terminal, to my estimation, is not adequate for the existing
facilities, never mind expanding it. It always has been in bad
shape, and about two weeks ago I had a call on a Saturday night,
water was backing up through the floor drains in the bathrooms
in the ladies (inaudible). There was a flood down by the street
somewhere. But it happens quite frequently. Ever wince I
bought the place from Gary Eitel it was always said that it
was the grease from the kitchen or something. But the sewer
system in that old building is not very good.
Carmen Gintoli - May I ask you a question? Have you expressed this concern
to Jim Swalley, the airport manager? I have never been made
aware of it.
Rich Kochanuski - When I tore that place apart last summer - there's another
question I wanted to ask. You ,just mentioned about the design
of that place. I've mentioned (inaudible) on that one sheer
wall, (inaudible) you move that one wall that used to be
partitioned at lounge (inaudible) that wall - the construction
of the building is not as the prints say - that wall over there
is supposed to be a sheer wall connected to the roof and the
corrugated roof that goes above the place - the top header on
that wall was just nailed through. It wasn't secured. It was
8-penny nails driven through the corrugated (inaudible) and bent
over.
Carmen Gintoli - that might be (inaudible) we are aware that (inaudible)
if you look at (inaudible)
Rich Kochanuski - These walls that are along here. I know the damage that
has been done there. A lot of the damage that's caused in that
building - I understand you people think it all comes at night.
But it doesn't all come at night. It comes in the daytime,
although it's not quite 50-50. 1 would say 40-60 is something
of an honest estimation. These walls here - I don't know what
the code is for a commercial building, but I think the studs

Rich Kochandski - (continued) on these walls are 2 feet on centers and
I think 1/2" or 5/8" sheet rock across those.
Carmen Gintoli - that also happens to be a sheer wall. That`s designed
to uniform building code.
Rich Kochanuski - I agree with that
Carmen Gintoli - there's no code restriction that says you have to do anything,
but 5/8" sheet rock.
Rich Kochanuski - yes, but when you have an area like this that has a
lot of access through it, you're talking about - how many people
come through this area in the course of a year? Somebody
bumps into that and knocks the wall with dollys or moving
freight in and out of that place.
Carmen Gintoli - there's to be no freight through there. That's one of the
reasons we're doubling the width of the corridor is to allow
freer access between the two ends of the terminal building by
the traveling public. But there'll be no freight in the
terminal building.
Rich Kochanuski - well, just somebody (inaudible) I also wondering what
kind of a heating system you will install in this whole complex.
Carmen Gintoli - what we're going to do is, we plan to replace the existing
boiler with a smaller, more efficient one, cut back some of the
--- to answer your question we're going to have a combination
of both - hydrophonic and forced (inaudible). The system that
operates your restaurant (inaudible)
Rich Kochanuski - the restaurant is still on the existing heat in that
building which is not adequate. I get complaints from the
gentlemen that are running it now, that's there's not enough
heat in there. That's one of the things I wanted to ask Council
if they could find some way to get in a couple of temporary
little heaters in there. The heating system and the ventilating
system in that whole building is definitely way behind the
times. when I remodeled this thing I didnif want to come and
spend slot of time and ask the Council to approve all that.
I wanted to (inaudible) air conditioner and heater up there
that services only the lounge, that doesn't service the restaurant
at all. I hope that in your plans that the heat and ventilation
in this restaurant is taken into consideration. The cost of
$10,000 (inaudible). Another question I wanted brought up is
the design of the restrooms. Exactly what type of design are
you using for your fixtures as for making them - I know what
you said about the walls. What kind of walls are you going to

Carmen Gintoli - right now we're looking at ceramic tile.
Rich Kochanuski all the way up or (inaudible)
Carmen Gintoli - we're going to use a wainscote on the (inaudible)
Rich Kochanuski - all the towels and stuff like that - a lot of people
tear those towel fixtures off of there. (inaudible) take the
towel fixtures, don't put them there. Put those Little air
things them.. They're terrible and all that, but nobody
takes the towels and throws them away. Use the criteria to
build as many things as you can recessed into the wall so people;
don't have a tendency - especially what happens in the summer
time. We have all these people coming here from outside. They
don't care about that. They come in and out of that airport.
That's how they get here. They don't get here down the road.
They come through that airport. they're coming in here to make
big money, working on fishing boats and that airport gets
abuse when they come in and when they leave. So if we can design
it so theycan't abuse it the maintenance costs and everything
else will be reduced. You ought to think about that, maintenance
first instead of just making it look good. one thing I wanted
to also find out, the acs:Pas that you're going to put in here
for the temporary construction, the (inaudible) is going pass
up this way and go out this way?
Carmen Gintoli - that's correct. What we're trying to do is, one of the
last things (inaudible) we intend to have a partition that
jgoes through this: here like so, the existing corridors (inaudible)
that location so we'll penetrate it here and have access here
to the toilets, etc. and we'll go out (inaudible)
Rich Kochanuski - the people will have to come this way and go out?
Carmen Gintoli - that's right, and the reason we did that is so that
they'll have accessiblity to your lounge or your restaurant.
Rich Kochanuski - I was wondering about that.
