Mr. Andrews said he was asked to come to the meeting, represent-
ing his neighbors. He fools this problem is not peculiar to one area.
lie suggested the Council take a look at the budget and increase
personnel, perhaps it should be under a different department. lie
feels Public Works is not sensitive to the Problem, it has other con -
corns. The dogs are killing moose, it is just a matter of time and
they will hurt a child. Ile stated he was uncomfortable there, he
thought it did not require a policing actions it is a moral problem
of people here who will not keep their dogs home, Councilwoman
Glick suggested Mr. Andrews eomo to tho budget sessions when
they start. Mr. Andrews reiterated he wished he did not have to
come here, if we had a moral -concerned citizenry, this would not
be necessary. Mayor O'Reilly suggested administration draw up
an ad fa; put in the paper, asking the citizenry to cooperate • Mr.
Kornelis stated Public Works Dept. known there is a problem,

Mr. Kornelis then read the dog control report. He further
stated:

4. We will hope the budget will be increased next year,
S. We thought of increasing the fines and adoption fees, so
there are less dogs around,
Mr. Andrews said he did not think increasing the fee would help,
The problem is not dogs, but their owners. There should be a better
solution, he does not have the answer. His neighbors have said they

before the Council boforo, Atty. Schlereth wrote a letter to Mr.
Jahrig giving him 20 days to clean up his yard. He has not, he
has added more, Now there is a "sort -of" fence there. In 1072 it
was considered a public nuisance by the attorney, in 1075 the City
ran an ad in the paper giving notice that nul=ncen will be removed.
In 1070 Mrs, Vorar states she began coming to the Council meetings.
In 1077 Mr, Jahrig reeoived a letter from City Manager John Wise,
promising action.
Mayor O'Reilly asked for comment from Atty, Delahay, Atty. Dolahay
said with the change in administration, nothing has been done. When
Mrs, Vour contacted him, he researched and found Atty, Schloreth
had promised action, Mayor O'Reilly confirmed with Atty. Delahay that
he know nothing? Atty. Delahay concurred, he said action was pro-
mised in 1079, Councilwoman (flick asked Atty, Delahay if he had
reviewed the area to we what should be done, Atty. Delahay replied
no, Counclwoman Glick directed the administration to review the
situation and come back to Council. Mrs, Voz$r said she wondered
if the people in the City took the Council seriously, When she was dir-
ected to put up a light in her apartment house, she figured it would be
eight years before the City would do anything, Councilwoman (flick
noted that the Council did try to take action at one time, The night of
the public hearing, we had attornies, etc. threatening, ate, When we

S OLD BUSINESS
P-1 Discussion - Liquor License - Daddy's Money (Real Estate
Committee)
Councilman Mueller said he had two meetings, there were two
problems to diccuss.
1. Daddy's Money would like to remove the City's name from the
liquor license.
2. They would like to go on a flat rental basis instead of commission.
The committee's suggestion on M., remove the City's name from the
license with a clause, "license was issued to the City expressly
for the airport lounge and will stay with the airport lounge."
The committee's suggestion on ii2: $3, 200 per month, starting
July 1, with an escalator clause to increase or decrease on July 1
based on per cent of increase or decrease in gross revenue. it
'- would eliminate monthly records checking.
Councilman Malston asked Councilman Mueller how he came up with
$3,200, Councilman Mueller explained the current annual income is
$3,000 per month. They are increasing their capacity by 50%-78$,
possibly more if they should increase business. Councilman Malston
asked how does the cents per square foot compare with other leases.
There is nothing in their leases that moves up or down. Councilman
Mueller replied yes, some do. At $3200 that is $1.08 per square
foot. Others are $.99 per square foot. Councilwoman (flick asked
are we going to revise the square footage at budget time? Acting
Finance Director Sandi Parnell replied that has to be by resolution.
She said she thought we had planned to stay at that rate. The pro-
posed budget is at the same rate. Councilman Measles said they are
at the flat 10%of gross now, Atty. Delahay said the rate is $.99 per
square foot with janitorial service, Daddy's Money does not have
Janitorial service. Mayor O'Reilly asked the length of the lease.
Councilman Mueller replied it runs to 1987 with renewal option. He
had a suggestion, that the lease rental would be re-evaluated annually.
Mr. Kornelis asked if they included the additional area they are going
to build• Councilman Mueller replied they included the area, but not
Increased value, Councilwoman Qiek asked at that time, you would
,
KL'NAI CITY COUNCIL

include additional area and a now lease? Councilman Mueller replied
we did not, he did not know if they were to include it in our review.
Councilman Malston stated he could not go along with the Public Works
Committee, unless it matches the present building. Councilwoman
Glick noted that is what he said he would do. Atty. Delahay noted
I there is one thing to consider - the Committee did not consider the
additional space, the rent would go up. On the new area, they would
be increasing the space at their expense. Mayor O'Reilly asked
Councilman Mueller for the committee recommendation on the first
problem. Councilman Mueller reviewed the proposal. lie explained
this would effectively put the public on notice and recorded that
this license belonged to the City. Mayor O'Reilly asked who pays
the insurance. Mrs. Parnell replied Daddy's Money. We pay the
insurance company $100 to be on as an additional insured on their
policy. Councilman Malston said he thought it was $3,000 before we
went on their policy, Councilman Mueller said he suggested the
City remove their name from the license with the addition of the
cleupe as suggested by Atty. Delshay. Atty. Delahay explained
this clause stipulated damages if they break their lease.

__---_ the clause as suggested by Atty. Delahay stipulating damages ff
Daddy s Money breaks their lease.
Council approved the motion unanimously by roll call vote.
` Atty. Delahey noted the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board previously
required the City be on the lease because we were getting a per
cent of the gross. The Board said they were trying to get this changed
in Juneau. He didn't know if this change will be okay in Juneau.
Daddy's Money wanted this based on cost of living, not gross.

Mayor O'Reilly said the rental is now $30,000 per year, sales are
$360,000, or 10%. If sales went up to $400,000, at the present form-
ula the rental would be $40,000. Atty. Delahay said on information
received from Finance Director Brown from October 1978 to September
1970, $27,000 has been collected. The last few months have been
higher, they estimate $28,000. At $42,000 the committee felt we
were asking more for the increased space. Mayor O'Reilly noted it
will be a capital improvement on the building, it will moderate. Atty.
Delahay noted this is a counter-offer, they may refuse. They have
not accepted this.
MOTION:
Councilman Mueller moved, seconded by Councilman Measles, to
set a monthly rental of $3,200 per year starting July 1980, with an
escalating clause to increase or decrease rent annually on July 1,
based on previous calendar years percentage of increase or decrease
in the gross revenue of operations.
Notion passed unanimously by roll call vote.
Mayor O'Reilly asked the lease runs to 1087 and to rena•vable at the
some conditions? Councilman Mueller replied he has option to renew,
but he is not sure of the conditions -Councilman Measles said it is
renewable at the some conditions. Mayor O'Reilly suggested the Council
should review the renewal conditions. Councilman Measles suggested
at the end of the lot term.
MOTION:
Councilman Mueller moved, seconded by Councilman Measles, to
renegotiate the lease with Daddy's Money at the end of the first
ten years,
Councilman Malston asked what other leases do we have on an es-
calation clause. Atty, Delahay said they are not based on escalation.
Car rentals are on a per cent of the gross. Councilman Malston said
we seem to have an inconsistency. An example is, the airlines pay
the same in good or bad years, Councilman Mueller noted the gift
shop has a per cent of the gross.
F-2 Discussion - Airport Vending Machines, Vic Tyler (Real Estate
Committee)

Councilman Mueller explained there are two parts to this problem.
1. The concessionaire's license grant
2. The granting of a lease to install arcade and amusement.
Discussion of part 1:
The committee suggested an agreement on the type of rate should
depend on the typo of machine.
MOTION:
Councilman Mueller moved, seconded by Councilwoman Glick, to
set a rate on machines in the airport, depending on the type of
machine.
Councilman Mueller said he supports the motion. The machines
presently in the building are using City power, there is no income
to the City. At odd -hours, the only place coke and coffee can be
purchased is at the bar. Councilman Malston asked where do we
stand at the gift shop? They have the right to the income from the
vending machines. Atty. Delahay replied when the lease was sent to
them to be signed, they never signed the lease, they just returned
it. The previous owner did not want it. We have sent a letter to the
previous lessee, after March 28, we will go in and sell the possessions
in the store. When we talked to her. she replied, "talk to my attorney,"
Councilman Malston asked, this with Vic Tyler, is just his machines,
it has nothing to do with the machines in the building (the newspaper
machines), where the money was made on the papers sold. Atty.
Dolahay replied he didn't know about the newspaper machines. We
had better do something about those machines. Councilman Malston
said he hated to see us get into the problem as we did before. When
the restaurant was closed, we asked Mr. Eitel to install coffee -machines.
What happened to this? Councilwoman Glick asked Councilman Measles,
did this come up in the committee hearing? Councilman Measles replied
as he understands it, all the machines in the airport are tied up with
the gift shop. Mayor O'Reilly asked would Vic Tyler set up coffee
machines. Councilman Malston replied yes, but we don't know if
the agreement is with the City, Mr. Eitel or Mr. Tyler. Mrs. Parnell
said the charges are $5.00 for a vending machine and ; .50 for news-
papers per terms of the lease.
Motion passed unanimously by roil call vote.

KENAI CITY COUNCIL

Discussion of part 2:
The committee suggested no action be taken, Mr. Tyler should bring
in a firm proposal, and the Council could look at the alternatives.
Councilwoman Glick asked Airport Manager Swalloy to inform Mr.
Tyler of the decision. Councilman Malston asked do we want an
arcade in the terminal building, He didn't. Why ask Mr. Tyler to
work with a proposal if we are not interested. The space should
not be used as a gift shop, it should be airport-orionted. Council-
woman Glick said before Mr. Tyler comes in, the committee should
discuss alternatives, Councilman Mueller said this has been studied.
1. An airline company wants to store freight there.
2. Another airline has expressed an interest in it.
Councilman Mueller said a study should be done before a firm pro-
posal is made. Council agreed by voice vote. Mr. Swalloy asked the
Council if they wanted a firm proposal from Mr. Tyler. Mayor O'Reilly
replied no, not until the study is made.
P-8 Discussion - Community Care Center (Real Estate Committee)
Councilman Mueller said he spoke with people in the legal department -
dudge Hansen. The consensus is that a Care Center is needed in the
community. The committee did not wish to commit future Councils to
their proposals.
The committee recommended:
1. A lease of spaco based on fair market value of land at the usual
per cent of other leases,
2, The Care Center should bring a request for a donation to the budget
session.
MOTION:
i
Councilman Mueller moved, seconded by Councilman Measles, to
lease the space based on fair market value of the land at the usual
per cent of other leases.
A motion was not necessary for this action,
Councilman Mueller then explained a portion on the building was

/ completely dropped at Atty. Delahay's suggestion, it is not reaRon-
able under present City arrangements, Councilman Malston said the
17) building will have to be removed eventually. The fair market value
is very low, Councilman Mueller said there to another FAA item of
correspondence that could change the situation. Atty. Delahay ex-
plained their request is to put an antenna near there. The Committee
did not want it, it is prime land.
F-4 Discussion - Atoehner's Lease (Public Works Committee)
Councilwoman Glick said Atty. Garnett sent a presentation regarding
the Stoehner lease to Council. She then explained the background of
the lease problem. She stated we do find objectionable that Mr. Garnett
feels the City has wasted their time, they were asked repeatedly to
bring in information, etc. They changed their minds when they thought
someone else wanted it. She suggested the City terminate the lease,
and a settlement fee be charged.
MOTION:
Councilwoman Glick moved, seconded by Councilman Mrlston, to
terminate the lease with Stoehners, and a settlement fee of $500 be
charged. This because, the cost of the appraisal is estimated at
$140, for
and compensation for administration work,
Mayor O'Reilly asked about lots 4, 5 i 6, Councilwoman Glick said
they have been leased to TAD and the lease has been consummated.
Councilman Hall questioned the $500 fee, He asked isn't that the
Prim You pay for being landlord? Councilwoman Oliek replied, teue,
but we had a valid lease application. When they came back !hey said
Atty. Garnett did not represent them. We had to come to an agreement
with'Waterer and Yeasel, it cost us money, Councilman Hall asked
how are we going to collect? Atty. Delahay replied there is only one
way, to sue. His opinion is in the last packet, if we now have a
lease with them, any delays are caused by them. We could sue for
collection of rentals. If we had a judgment, it might interfere with
the other leases. Councilwoman Glick said Councilman Malston men-
tioned that Atty. Delahay check to see MAtty, Garnett had a right to
represent them. Atty. Delshay replied they were here when Atty,
Garnett spoke, so there is no questions that he represented them,

MARCII 10, 1080

Councilwoman Glick said some time ago, we had complaints on towing
cars away and vandalism, we installed lights and this has out down on the
problem. We thought we should have franchised parking and sent out
bids. We received two. We came to the conclusion we are not ready to
go to this. Councilman Malston said we also asked the administration to
check into ways to keep the lot cleared. Councilwoman Glick suggested
the Council direct administration look for funds to pave the short and long
term parking lots, and plan to shorten the long term parking, and ways
to clear the lot for cleaning. Councilwoman Glick also directed the ad-
ministration to send letters to proposers to thank them and we will keep
them in mind for future reference.

Councilman Malston asked if this includes the Constellation and ono
other, Atty. Delahay replied the Constellation is the smaller amount,
Councilwoman Glick noted that when it first came up, it was supposed
to bs $3,000 to $6,000. Atty, Delahay replied that might have been

0-5 Resolution W32 - Election of Debt Approval for New City Hall -
$400,000
MOTION:
�. Councilwoman Glick moved, seconded by Councilman Malston, to
approve the resolution.
Carmen Gintoli, architect, spoke. He explained that he had told
peoples that the resolution was coming up tonight, but he didn't ask
them to testify.
JoAnn Hagen, public health nurse, spoke. She said she was in support
Of the health center in the City Hall. They are currently providing
services in deplorable conditions. Mayor O'Reilly asked her how many
people she services, Ms. Hagen replied 9000 in the last two years,
The heaviest is immunizations, two times a week, They average 120
people going through in an afternoon, Mayor O'Reilly asked if she
had looked at the plans. She replied she had. Mayor O'Reilly asked
it she felt there was any conflict with the City services. Ms. Hagen
replied no, they are downstairs, and have use of the lobby.
John Wise spoke, He said he agrees with the building of a new City
Hui', The resolution was a properly prepared document. The
resolution asks it the $400,000 is by bond or by cash, not whether
or not the building should be built. He opposes the resoludon in its
present form. The revised version should be:

"Building of City Hall building should include the question as
whether or not we should build the building and should we build
'
it with bonds."
Methods of financing are:
1. CEIP
2. Civic Center Bond
3. General Obligation Bonds o
Capital Improvement Bonds (Total $950,000)
Federal funds are authorized and loan funds may be avoidable
at 4% Interest. There are a number of reasons people will support
the building:
1. The terminal needs upgrading
2. Jobs are a plus in the building field
3. Construction will incur downtown development
4. 4% at well -below rate will free funds for other projects.
There are other benefits, true, but what will that do to the mill rate?
Mayor O'Reilly noted he believed the Farm Home rate to be 5%.
Mr. Wise said in any case it is a legally approved federal funding
The is, are the funds available. We have
program. question should
started five months ago. You are not asking the right questions. It
you can't justify the building, no matter how much it is needed, to
the benefit of the taxpayers of the City, you should resign. The res-
olution is wrong. We're tired of being told what is good for us.
Mayor O'Reilly then declared a recess for the Council to read the
memo from him to the Council and Administration regarding the
$400,000 to be financed, and methods of doing this.
Atty, Delshay read the amendments proposed to be made on the
a
resolution.
Carmen Ointoli spoke. He noted if the Council decides to amend the
ballot, the contractors will not go out to bid until this is settled.
It would cost the Contractor $5,000 to $7,000 to put out a bid, he will
'
not do it if there are any questions.
Councdiman Malston noted, on the days advertised, he thought the ad
should be in Wed ,iesday's paper, so it will go to everybody. Atty.

Dolahay listed the dates of publishing: March 21, 26 a 28. He
explained the code only requires it to be advertised twice, but we
wanted it in the advertising k entertainment issue to give the widest
possible view, Councilwoman Glick noted it would not make the
Thursday edition (March 20, 1980) , Atty. Delahay explained it
had already been placed in the paper, and could be retreated if
the Council chose, Councilman Malston suggested the ad be placed
in two Wednesdays, Atty, Delahay said that could be done, that
will make it a total of five times,

Councilwoman Glick moved, seconded by Councilman Measles,
to amend the resolution as per the amendment put out by Atty. Delahay.
Motion passed unanimously oy roll call vote.
Councilwoman Glick took the Chair,
Mayor O'Reilly spoke, He reviewed his memo, and said Finance Dir-
ector Brown had told him it we put all we could into the building, we
would find outselves in a squeeze, Alaska Pacific Bond Bank handles
municipal bonding, Dave Rose, of the Alaska Pacific Bond Bank, is
asking for subsidy to fill in the difference between municipal bond
limits and the bond rate, Farm Home had 5% bonds from the City for
water 0 sewer, It has been stopped by federal policy, we won't
know till April if funds are available, We must realize:
a, We have stated publicly we intend to build City Hall
b, We have sufficient funds to finance, but this would cause
capital improvement fund narrowness in 1982-1993,
c, We have the worst bond market in history, the worst time
to borrow,
d, Is it better to put the funds into TCD's or construction,
If we pass the resolution tonight, we vote April 9. We could go
to the municipal bond bank, If this is disapproved, we can pay cash,
balancing lodgment that cash is better in building than in money
certificates, We could wait until 1982 or 1093, things would get
better and borrow at that time, or proceed with the vote, go to
Perm heats, have a 2nd election for sewer plant expansion. Or
if the vote is negative, go to FIIA with the resolution for a vote to
borrow momWp or proceed with cash and wait till the money ,situation
gets better,

Councilman flail asked if the entire resolution was on the ballot,
Atty. Dolahay ,said just the proposition. Councilman flail said on
the proposition, the only mention of figure is $400,000. There is
no mention of the $900,000, Unless the public has been following
the procedures, it is very misleading, As he understands it, it is
going to be built anyhow. Also, as he understands it, $000,000 is
not true anyhow, such as street preparation, equipment is not included.
What is the total dollar figure for equipment? Councilwoman Glick
asked Mr. Gintoli it we are still looking at $1 Million plus, Mr. Gin-
toli replied he had told the Council he would revise it to give the cost
at under $1 Million, All indications are we should get it at $1 Million.
The builder told him he was 10% higher, Councilwoman Glick asked
if the equipment was included. Mr. Ginto:i replied no furnishings
were included. The acoustical partitions and counter in the lobby
are the only furnishings included, Councilwoman Glick asked were
the on -site water a sewer included. Mr. Gintoli replied only to the
street, Councilwoman Glick asked if it goes to Beaver Loop, Mr,
Gintoli replied water rti sewer and gas will go to Main Street loop. The
electricity will go to Pidalgo, none on Beaver Loop, Councilwoman
Glick noted we will have additional charges to go to Beaver Loop, public
Works Director Kornelis said when we get into construction phase, we
have no idea when water a sewer will go to Beaver Loop. Mr, Gintoli
said as it stands now, utilities will go to Beaver Loop, It you change
it to Pidalgo, it will cost more to go around the building, Mayor O'Reilly,
said we are applying for $1,900,000 for sewer on pidelgo, Council-
man Hall asked Mr, Kornelis, there has been no engin-
eering? Mr. Kornelis replied Mr. Gintoli has designed so we take
from existing lines on Beaver Loop, There is a good chance CEIp will
provide lines down Pidalgo, Bidarka a Barnacle. The only problem is
getting approval by conatriW- lion beeginning, We will have to decide
at the next meeting, Councilman Mueller said he agreed with Council-
man Hall, He would like to have the cost inserted in the ballot, Council-
woman Glick asked in the ads, is there a breakdown of various break-
downs of money, or could it be done? Mayor O'Reilly noted a change
would mean there would be a legal problem, Atty, DPlahay explained
it would not be a legal problem, but it could be misleading, We don't
know till the bid is in, it is an estimate, Ali you are Baking them to
do is vote $400,000, Mayor O'Reilly noted Councilmen Hall and
MWUer feel the $1 Million should be inserted, Councilmen Hall and
Mueller agreed, Atty. Delahay sdd if you change, you will change
the election time. Mayor O'Reilly asked, is the April 9 date for
budget review? Atty, Delshay replied yes, Mayor O'Reilly asked why,
Atty, Delahay explained whether the budget will be all used for City
Hall or for other projects, Mayor O'Reilly noted we have two budgets,
capital and operating, unless there are principal and interest repay-

ments in 1980. He asked Mrs. Parnell if she knew of any. Mrs. Parnell
replied no. Atty, Delahay said there is no urgency as far as the
building costs, we have cash. Councilwoman flick asked if we
break down the total in the paper, would that help. Councilman
Measles suggested we make the breakdown separate, have a separate
article with the breakdown. It doesn't have to be part of the notice.
Councilman Hall said if they see all the proposal, they would be more
receptive. Mr. Kornolis said we could have the corrections next to
the notice in the paper. Councilwoman Glick asked if the corrections
are already in the paper, Atty. Delahay replied yes. Mayor O'Reilly
stated if there are any errors in the election process, the City Attorney
and the City Clerk are not in error. The situations change so fast,
they have had difficulty keeping up with them. He then explained
to Councilman Hall that the $400,000 bonding issue has not changed,
Just the explanation a$ to how financed. Councilman Hall said he
would like to have the $900,000 in the proposition. Mayor O'Reilly
asked if the Council should expend $1 Million without voter approval.
Councilman Hall replied no, we already made a decision on that. Just
lot the voters know they are looking at $1 Million, not $400, 000, Atty,
Delahay noted the only necessity on the ballot is borrowing money,
the estimate could be changed. It will also change the voting time if
we change the ballot. State law requires municipal advertising on
the total bond indebtedness, is not required of a home rule city. The
intent of the City is to do this anyhow. This is more information going
out to the voters, but it is not required. Mayor O'Reilly said if we
change the figure to $1 Million on the ballot, after "portion of funds,"
That seems to be the beat figure. He asked Atty, Delahay if that
would be acceptable. Atty, Delahay explained it would change the
election date, but that is up to the Council. Mayor O'Reilly noted we
have a problem with Finance Director Brown and the budget and a
contractor's problem with the delay. Counoilman Mueller said he was
under a misunderstanding. As long as it is in the ad, it doesn't have
to be in the ballot, Mayor O'Reilly reminded the Council that if we
vote yes, and the people vote yes, we have to go to a bond bank, there
Will be more delays, Councilman Mueller noted the ballot proposal
says there can be other types of indebtedness, Farm Home can be
used. Mayor O'Reilly replied except Farm Home will not take a
City Hall building, John Wise spoke. He said he disagreed with
the Council, Councilwoman Glick referred to Mr. Wise's state-
ment, "Give the people a chance to vote on the building," she asked
Atty. Delahay, do we have to give the people a chance to vote to
build. Atty. Delahay replied no, if you have any question, you can
bring a referendum to the people. The only time you must bring it
to the people is when you borrow money, Councihyoman Glick asked
a rhetorical question, how did we arrive at the decision to build a

city hall, we needed a building, at first we just wanted any building.
Then the need changed it to adding Council chambers. We had various
offers. The Northern Commercial building needed water s sewer changes.
The Baldwin a Rogers Building (sic: Trading Bay Professional Center)
was reviewed. it also required renovation. Councilman Hall said he had
ino question that we need a building. Councilwoman Glick said she
just wanted it on the record that we did look at other offers. John Wise
spoke. He asked, are you afraid the voters will refuse if it went to a
vote? Councilwoman Glick replied no, She has seen no petitions, she
has received no phone calls. Mr. Peterkin changed his mind after
Atty. Delahay spoke to him. Mr. Wise asked, you're going to have an
election. Are you afraid to ask for a vote? Councilwoman Glick asked
is it necessary? Mr. Wise replied he would rather be morally and
ethically right. Councilwoman (click said it was approved at Planning
0 Zoning, Council has the right to make decisions. Mr. Wise said, why
not ask?
Councilwoman (click took the chair,
Mayor O'Reilly spoke. He said time to important. Building costs es-
calate daily, if we con satisfy moral and ethical considerations, the people
are well -aware of the Council members. There are a number of reasons
r the Council has been delayed. Other buildings have been shown, with a
30 year life, a building fresh and new is the prudent way to go. He
suggested advertising with full disclosure, without influence one way
or the other, the full course of project, the full source of funds.
MOTION:
Councilman Hall moved, seconded by Councilman Mueller, to adver-
tise the project, with full disclosure, without influence one way or
the other, the full eourse of the project, the full source of funds.
Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote.
Mayor O'Reilly said he will be in contact with Farm Home and the bond
bank. He reminded the Council to be aware we are in dangerous waters.
Councilwoman thick noted we do not have to make the decision tonight.
Mayor O'Reilly replied he will notify Dave Rose tonight and be "plugged
±n." Councilman Mueller said he had some information on Farm Home,
_-- he will give to the Mayor.

H-1 City Manager
Acting City Manager Kornelis said C112M Hill did not show up on
agenda item C-2. He explained the sewer treatment plant problems.
There to a new regulation that we may have to chlorinate and deehlor-
inate outfall. We will need samples from the beaches. The interceptor
line has been pulled out of the grant. He discussed a letter dated
June 20 regarding the interceptor line through old town or through
Spur Hwy. Council approved the old town line. C112M Hill said they
did not have soil samples. Mr. Kornelts reviewed the records, and
found CH2M Bill has concentrated their efforts on Spur route. He be-
lieved they will be back asking for an increase in their grant. Coun-
cilman Malston asked didn't they recommend the Old Town route? Mr.
Kornelis replied yes, and they said they would be replacing the lines
on the bluff. Because of the problem with the soils, we are asked to
take this out of the grant leases. The City has sent a letter to DEC.
He said he explained the importance of the interceptor line. The
grant has been reduced to$1,085,000. The total reduction is $1,780,000.
It will go back in under Phase I (Sewer Treatment Plant, Phase II
(interceptor Line), Phase III (Outfall). The Outfall is next year's
project. Councilwoman thick asked, will Mr. Kornells got written
statement to that affect? Mr. Kornelle replied no, he could not put
It in writing. When we send in the new grant application, he will
rush it through. Councilman Malaton asked when will that go through?
Mr. Kornelis replied as soon as soils are done and they get the eng-
ineering out of the way. He has a copy of the letter the administration
sent out if the Council is interested. Mayor O'Reilly asked U he needed
a vote. Mr. Kornelis replied no, there will be a meeting March 20,
and the bid opening is April 3. Mayor O'Reilly asked if the major part
Of the Construction will go through this summer. Mr. Kornelis replied
yes.
Mr. Kornelts discussed the grant application for Pidalgo, Barnacle
and Bidarka. The City has been deferred for the projects. He.has
asked for $55,000 to do a study from the deferred money. There is
a good possibility they will accept it. If no word is received by
April 2, we will bring it into Council for authority to study, Mayor
O'Reilly noted we have promised the State we will have a study ready
by July 1. Councilwoman Glick asked will you do the engineering in-
house? Mr. Kornelis replied no, is we cannot get it by Ap211 2, we
will have to do it with our own money.
Mr. Kornelis then noted there to more moneycoming up in CEIP, he has
applied for street projects. The chances are questionable, we are
one of many,

ment Councilwoman Glick for going over to deal with the situation.
0-8 Harbor Commission
Mayor O'Reilly read the letter from Bob Roper. He said Mr. Roper
is looking at several large lease payments and having difficulty fi-
nancing. Chances are the City will end up having it for a small
boat harbor site.
I
MOTION:
Councilwoman Glick moved, seconded by Councilman Malston, that
a request to repurchase leases B&C in the amount of $150,000 has been
tendered to the City. The Commission recommendation is to turn down
the offer. We accept the recommendation of the commission.
I
Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote.
Councilman Malston asked has he been paying on the lease? Atty.
Delahay replied he is current, his next payment is July 1. Mayor
O'Reilly noted, it is unfortunate, the man did try.
I PERSONS PRESENT NOT SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD
Councilwoman Glick said Mayor O'Reilly had asked about the letters
from Ted Forsi a Assoc. regarding the Kenai and Soldotna airports.
On Dec. S, 1979 he came before Council and offered to lobby. This
is the only time he has done anything for us. Mr. Forst said he has
been working with us for two years. He said Kenai has shown an in-
terest, Soldotna has not. He has misrepresented himself. Public
Works Committee recommends Mayor O'Reilly write a letter to Mayor
Gilman and Mr. Larson of the FAA, stating:
I. Mr. Porsi appears to have misrepresented himself and his
lobbying efforts of Aug. and Dec. 1079.
2. Mr. Porsi has not communicated with Kenai any ideas on
transportation study. We are totally in the dark as to where
he got the idea.
3. Woodward -Clyde is involved in a study with the Borough on
all forms of transportation, is part of a regional transportation
study, part of the City plan. The Alaska Municipal League
has a grant for a study. Since studies should not be redun-
dant, we feel this is unnecessary.

She further stated Mr. Forst came before Council as being a lobbyist
on Doo. 15, 1970. Mr. Swalley, Mr. Brown and Mr. Kornolis wore
involved with ADAP grants. We should probably be getting money for
electric generators. FAA is concerned with the safety aspect. Mr.
Forst received the contract with no starting or ending contract. Since
we have received a grant on electric generators, Mr. Forst should be
contacted and ask for an accounting, and the contract closed. Mr.
Kornelis, Mr. Swalley and Mr. Brown can cover any more action.
MOTION:
Councilman Malston moved, seconded by Councilman Measles, to
have administration contact Mr. Forst, ask for an accounting, and
close his contract.
Councilman Measles said we owe him $460.00 lie would come back
before he went any further. Councilwoman Glick replied yes, we
would want it substantiated. Mr. Kornelis said he is required to sub-
mit a justification report. Ile said he would ask for it at the time of
the billing
i
Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote,
Councilman Malston asked Atty. Delahay, after receiving a report from
Atty. Garnett regarding the Clarion suit, we have spent several thous-
and dollars, how does he feel about the suit? Atty. Delahey replied we
have no other alternative. It is an important enough point and chances
Of winning are good enough that it should be pursued. We've spent
so much money, we should go forward. Mayor O'Reilly asked do we
get the tees back? Atty. Delshey replied in the Supreme Court they
usually give costa like $80 filing fee and atty. fees, Councilwoman
Glick asked if he felt the case is weakened from what it was. Atty,
Delahay replied a little weakened, but worth the money.
