the seating capacity will be 80-100. If the Council Chambers are up-
stairs, the downstairs area will be for storage. The basic bid is
for 10,000 square feet, with added alternate, 12,200 square feet,
or $100 per square foot. Finance Director Brown Raid they are
reserving $215 , 000 for the Civic Center bond money, including
the health center, plus $400,000 - vote on the bond for city hall,
means we have $1,202,000 available right now. 1/3 of the sales tax
is $71,000 for the next two months, At this time we could approp-
riate from existing funds $1,273,000. This would let us take the
basic bid and alternate #I , but we would have no monies loft in
the reserve account. The General Fund Reserve account would be
near zero. Councilman Ambartan asked if the low bidder was will-
ing to moat with Mr. Gintoli and City Manager Brighton, since
the low bid is higher than anticipated. We should postpone this
till the next meeting.

the terminal which is available since Polar moved out. They would
like Council to review their application. Ile had a land lease that
he did not act on because he did not have a permanent lease in
the airport. Ito is currently sub -leasing from Kenai Air. Ile wants
a permanent lease from the City. He needs WOO square feet.
Airport Manager Swaney spoke. He noted 0-24 on the agenda was
a memo regarding this situation. Ile feels that since we did ask
Raven to move, we owe them first chance to have the space left
by Polar. Doug Haynes (of AAI) has asked for it, we could give
Mr. Thomas the space vacated by Raven. Councilman Ambarian
asked what did Mr. Thomas say when he was offered that? Mr.

MOTION:
Councilman Malston moved, seconded by Councilman Ambarian,
to approve Resolution 80-81.
Councilman Ambarian asked what is the level of experience we have
asked for? Are we combining secretarial and administrative help?
Mayor O'Reilly asked Public Works Director Kornolis, who was in-
volved in screening of applicants? Mr. Kornolis replied the job
description was written by the Mayor. fie and Councilman Malston
mot, Commissioner Potorkin could not come. Thorn were three
applicants. One individual was a Clork-Typist in the Navy, he
had secretarial and construction background, he came closest to
the requirements. Councilman Malston added they were looking
at the requirements listed. They felt the crunch is over as far
as legislative work is concerned. Jan (Taylor) is leaving on preg-
nancy leave. Thgfelt the one who was hired could take her place
and do the work Mayor O'Reilly was doing, as a temporary position.
The Committee felt hiring as originally intended was not necessary.
Mr. Korneiis said the position as originally set up is not needed.
But all the grants are going to be sent to the City, we will need
someone to got this out. Jan (Taylor) is overloaded. They are
all working hard. The projects will all come in this summer, and
they will have no girl. The position has opened up at the next
step above the one originally requested, Mayor O'Reilly noted we
have gone from the original request and gone to the second, now
we are on the 3rd situation. Mr. Kornolis noted we do not need
lobbying in Juneau any more. Councilman Ambarian asked are
we hiring someone to replace the Public Works secretary and whar,
the Public Works secretary comes back, she will be working at
a higher rate? Mr. Kornolis replied no, He has selected a girl
to take Jan's place. This will be a job in a higher position to
handle grants. There are $4 Million worth of work to be handled.
After a short recess, Mr. Kornolis spoke. He said there are two
things to stress:
1. lie will be required to type
2. It will not be a permanent position, it will last 0 weeks.
Commissioner Peterkin wants the $500,000 used to give him a perm-
anent position. Mr. Kornolis said he felt this $500,000 is different
funds. At the end of 9 weeks the rouncil could re-ovaluate and hire
him under now budget. founcilman Malston said he wanted to empha-
size there is no intent to create a new position, Mayor O'Reilly asked

these funds. Community a Regional Affairs says they can, but
the Borough Attorney says they cannot. Mayor O'Reilly asked
if local government must stand the cost of administering in the
old plan, has this been changed? Mrs. Hinrichs replied yes, there
are funds for administering. Funds would still have to be tunnelled
through the City. City Manager Brighton said on May 15 he sent
a letter asking for information in order to eliminate the out -oft date
and to give the Council more time, Mrs, Hinrichs explained the
Community 5 Regional Affairs audits very frequently, if they don't
(� pass an audit, then the Care Center would not be paid. It is audited
every month, the City would not have to & 1:, Community & Regional
Atfairs are wills to come down and . ' willing speak to the Council but they
must have a formal invitation. City Manager Brighton said the pro-
gram is designed for low-income people to get them trained to get
�I into the work force. Mrs. Hinrichs said it first came toher attent-
(� ton by people asking if there was a program, 5 people have asked
i her. The Community College feels it would raise their enrollment

1 with this again, it was rejected. Mrs, Hinrichs asked, was it re-
jected? She did not think it had been voted on. Couneftwoman

sent without Council being asked. Mrs. Iiinrieh said she was not
here when this was voted on. Mayor O'Reilly explained he disagreed
with Councilwoman nliek. The meeting was set for the necember
meeting and Mrs. Hinrich did not come. Mrs. Hinrich replied she
thought it was just postponed. She did not come because the require-
ments had Leon changed. Councilman Malston said he did not agree
with programs like thin, but if it could be provided at little or no
expense, it will make a better community. City Manager Brighton
said he would not ask Community a Regional Affairs to come down
until he got the fool of Council. Councilman Malston said they did
make a presentation once. Councilman Hall asked what are the
administration costs? Mrs. Hinrichs replied they will be doing that
for nothing. The administration of the City would be to pass the
checks through on a monthly basis. Councilman Hall asked what about
reports? Mrs. Hinrichs replied they would make them up and send
them to Community a Regional Affairs, with a copy to the City.
Councilman Ambarian said his objection is the City is willing to
take up a Borough-wido program. It would have to be given to
the people of the Borough. Mrs. Hinrich said it would only be for
residents of the City. Councilman Ambarian asked Mrs. Hinrichs
was that her rule? Mrs. Hinrichs replied that to a State rule.
Mayor O'Reilly suggested the Council consider the problem when
the applications are received.
Council agreed.
0-23 Borough Ordinance Regarding Harbor Ordinance
Councilman Ambarian explained the Borough program. The lot
Borough ordinance provides for acquisition of municipal powers
!' necessary to provide ports and harbors in the Borough outside
the cities. This is 9. result of a study by the Borough. The Bor-
ough at present does not have port and harbor powers outside
t cities. If passed, the Borough would either have power over
ports outside cities or would have joint power with the cities
' over ports. The 2nd ordinance - SO- 34 - establishes the North
Borough port and harbor service area. The purpose is to create
a port and harbor service area for N. Kenai, Kenai and Beluga.
The purpose of the ordinance was to follow up on report (? )
received by Borough two years ago for port and harbor service
area for Kenai, N. Kenai, Soldotna and Kasilof. Soldotna was
--) left out by writers of ordinance. Kenai Harbor Commission was
-i notified of the ordinance. The Harbor Commission members are
afraid they will lose the powers of the City. In the future, he
suggests the Harbor Commission contact the City representatives.

The Mayor will hold public hearing on the petition submitted
several years ago. Ordinance 80-33 may be on the Fall ballot.
The Harbor Commission asked to discuss Borough Ordinance
80-34, in a meeting. Mayor O'Reilly asked if Mayor Oilman will
be there too. Councilman Ambarian replied yes, it will be next
Tuesday night (5-13-80). Councilwoman Glick said regarding
Ordinance 80-34, on the radio she heard Mr. Arnoss was not only
including port and harbor but usurping airport land as well.
Councilman Ambarian said he tnd heard that too, but they did
not discuss this. Atty. Delahay said he had talked with the
Borough attorney regarding statutes concerning powers. They
will have a meeting Friday afternoon and he will get a memo to
Council. He asked the Council to note that in the ordinance by
Arness and Hille there is a section that states the ordinance is
contingent upon transfer to the Borough by the City of Kenai of
its power. He suggested the City not approve the section regard-
ing powers and duties whore the Borough can over -rule a service
area. We all recognize the port would be of value to the entire
community. Mayor O'Reilly asked Atty. Delahay if he could have
an opinion to the Harbor Commission by 5-13-80. Atty. Delahay
replied he will have the other attorney's opinion in. His opinion
may be at the Harbor Commission meeting, but not in the packet.
He will be at the meeting. Councilman Ambarian said the Council
should note this is just an introduction and could be changed.
Mayor O'Reilly suggested the Council attend the Harbor Commission
meeting of 5-13-80.
