Craig nreas spoke, He asked to submit a proposal to the City of Kenai fora port, There are questions that need to be answered. The scope was so large, they could not spend slot of time on each question. The nest way to attack the contract was to concentrate on 2 or 3 important areas. 1. Maintenance cost of the facility 2. Technical feasibility of the facility We will be assisted by a river hydraulics engineer. He has got a work- ing relationship with the Corps of Engineers, Mayor O'Reilly said there �..� xre 12 points brought up by Mr. Statter of the State, lie asked these KKNAI CITY COUNCIL MARCH S. 1980 Page 12 cannot be responded to? Mr. Freas replied it depends on how much time you want. Mr. Williams, of the Harbor Commission, spoke. He explained what they've been trying to say is we have a political, not an engineering situation on our hands. We have 26 days to do this. We do not plan to .:o an engineering and feasibility study. There are 12 items of areas to be studied. All we want is a compilation of information . 1. Whoever does the study must work closely with the Commission 2. We are not doing an engineering study 3. We have 26 days to do it Mayor O'Reilly said the recommendation of the harbor Commission is Margo Zuelow? Mr. Wagoner, of the Harbor Commission, said it is important that no matter who does the contract, they must work closely with the Commission. This is a political situation. we can't get it with another engineering study. Mr. Williams said Mr. Statter's list has 12 questions. Wince-Corthell proposes answering in depth. The Harbor Commission does not want this. No. Zuelow proposes answering 9, it is more political, and is what we need to bring to Juneau. Councilwoman Glick said even though Statter's letter refers to these items, it does not have to be limited to those items. Mr. Williams agreed, $10,000 cannot cover all these items. We do not want to "overkill" with an engineering study. Councilman Malston confirmed Mr. Statter will not hold us to answering these 12? Mr. Williams replied no. Referring to the last para- graph, he could but not necessarily he held to those. We've been try- ing to got a dock for 12 years. Mr. Press spoke. He agreed, we have no intention of solving problems relating to Kenai River. The concern is U the problems are ignored, it might lend some doubt as to the ace- uraey of the report. The study should show it to aware of the problems. Councilwoman thick took the chair. Mayor O'Reilly said whichever way it turns out, both bids have gone way beyond the scope of an engineering study in aiding the Harbor Commission. We are in the general planning stage, the next is bringing in an engineering firm to study hydrology, etc. My first impression was we needed an engineering study. the Har- bor Commission has influenced me. For 20 years, the State has been getting engineering studies. The first step was political, a step to trigger action. The larger firm has more back-up, however. The emphasis should be on need, that type of task should be given to a grant - 'writer, not an engineer. At first, he did not agree with consultant rather than an engineering study. But now he does. Councilman Hall asked Mr. Williams if he had discussed this with both parties. Mr. Williams replied yes. We are in favor of consultant rather than engineering. Our recommendation was consultant rather than engineering, but with much debate. Councilman Mueller said you have amassed a large amount of material for a firm to review. 26 days is not enough time. Mr. williams KENAI CITY COUNCIL Mum S, 1990 Page 13 replied yes, we have enough material in the Borough to build the har- `or, we intend to sift through and present a report. Mayor O'Reilly noted whatever way it is done, there is eonsiderabe risk. Mr. Wagonor said every member of the Harbor Commission is willing to do whatever is doomod necessary to got this to Juneau. Councilwoman Glick said she realized the emphasis should be on the need of the facility. We also need a cost/benefit ratio to the State. However, she still looks at the contract and gets nervou a - She would concur that whoever gets the contract should work with the Harbor Commission. MOTION: Councilwoman Glick moved, seconded by Councilman Ambarian , to Qo with Wino-Cortholl on the contract. Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote. Counilman Malston reiterated that Wince-Cortholl should work closely with the harbor Commission, and emphasis should be as the Harbor Com- mission wants it, emphasis on need. :Mayor O'Reilly asked the administration to please express to Ms. Zuelow the appreciation of the City. This was a difficult type of deabion, and she helped immeasurably. The Mayor also directed the administration to enter into the contract immediately. 0-18 Periodic Billing - Progress Report #10 - C112M Hill MOTION; Councilwoman Glick moved, seconded by Councilman Ambarian , to approve the billing.

Councilman Mueller seconded the motion. n �{ � I 81 t III KP,NAI CITY COUNCIL MARCH 5, 1080 Page 15 Atty, Delahay said a debatable question iR up to the chair, Mayor O'Reilly asked Councilman Ambarian to oxplain his action. Councilman Ambarian said wo had only 5 members at the last vote, we should have a full Counoil, We should also consider the now applicants on file, Councilwoman Glick took the chair. Mayor O'Reilly said he will support the motion to reconsider, it is not an indication of a veto to offer the job to Mr, Brighton, We did ask for applications, There was a degree of difference of opinion. We have ad- vortised and the PooPle have responded in good faith, This could have an effect of credibility for this or other projects, I would like to have Mr. Brighton's application filed with the other applications for consid- eration and then have a vote, Councilman Ambarian asked Mayor O'Reilly to explain the method, Mayor O'Reilly said at the last Council meeting, a motion to offer the job to Mr. Brighton was made, The vote was 3 to 2, The Mayor further explained Councilman Ambarian moved to the affirm- ative side to have reconsideration sa we could have a vote of tho full Council instead of a weak veto, If you veto yes, the entire matter is up for discussion, a "no" vote give it to Mr, Brighton.

Councilwoman Glick asked if the funds could be used from the City Man- ager's salary, Mr, Brown replied some is left - $3,000 or $4,000 possi- bly, The new car was an expense, Councilman Measles asked can this i 9 I , KENAI CITY COUNCIL MARCH 5, 1080 Page 18 be done and not call it moving expense. If you call it that, you must pay his moving expenses back. If you fire him you must pay his way back. Council agreed by unanimous consent on $5, 000 moving allowance, Councilman Hall said $2,500 was given to some people who move up with ' the :agreement that if they leave within a set time the money was not re- funded. Councilman Measles said only it they quit, Councilwoman Olick said don't we put this in the contract with schools, etc.?

Planning s Zoning Commission Councilwoman Glick noted the conditional use permit for Union Oil. She said there is a renewed interest on the part of the Rainer Fund on Airport Way land. The FAA was reluctant to release land. Mr. Brown sent a letter, etc., to FAA and will get the ball rolling again. Mayor O'Reilly asked when will the comprehensive plan be introduced to the Borough. Councilwoman Glick replied 10A:!ch 18. An amended compre- hensive plan, but she understood i:xL final plan would be as originally introduced. But one assembly member wants it published with amend- ments. The printing was stopped. It is not our annexation plan. The balance is toward outside areas on votes, but they should not look at this. The cities should not be penalized. The suggestion that the ^ities dispose of lands was not mentioned in the newspaper. Mayor O'Reilly said the ramifications of this are really ominous. If the Assembly starts using their power in an unreasonable way, they could destroy the com- mercial enterprise in the cities. Just because the balance of power has turned to the majority, the rights of the minority should not be trampled on. We should make a strong statement at the March 18 meeting. The City has stated we hew, o rw designs on the Borough, they have effectively called us liars. He said he thought we should make a strong statement at the March 18 meeting.
