Mayor O'Reilly asked the Real Estate Committee to handle this problem, F-2 Personnel Arbitration Board Recommendations Clerk Whelan said the 12 proposed members have been selected and have accepted the nominations. Atty. Delahay explained the method of selection: the first five are selected by alphabetical order. Mayor O'Reilly said there has been a request by a former City em- P1Y0ee to have a hearing. Now it is up to the Council to decide If they want the arbitration board to take action on the request. MOTION: Councilman Amburlan moved, seconded by Councilwoman chick, to approve the Arbitration Board. Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote. Mayor O'Reilly asked the Council to decide on whether to give the former City employee a hearing. Councilwoman Glick said we al- ready decided this once, why are we deciding on this again? Mayor O'Reilly explained because he has asked several times. Councilman Ambarian said at the time the employee was laid off, there was a difference of opinion. The former employee has appeared before Council several times. He has said he would wait till Council decided on a board before he took further action . Mayor O'Reilly said he thought the question is, can a board formed after the pro- blem happened be used for that problem? Councilmar. hall asked if the Council had a right to deny the hearing. Atty. Delahay ex- plained his opinion at the time was that the ordinance then in effect stated that the decision of the City Manager was final, that there E if f-� KENAI CITY COUNCIL JULY 2, 1080 Page S was no right to a board and since that time a beard has boon in- stituted but this is a new board. When the now personnel ordinance was passed in February, at the time that was drafted - at the request of Council - I drafted a special provision allowing parties who had boon terminated since (approximately) Sept. 1 of the previous year to make an appeal to that board, and that amendment was rojeetod by Council.

"B" has no value, Councilman Ambarian noted, regarding Block 2, it seems strange it is higher than Block 3. It doesn't have water it dower, there is no access.

Councilman Ambartan reiterated the question an the value listed on Block 2. Councilman Mueller replied Block 3 was appraised in 1079, Block 2 was appraised fr,1080, Under the circumstances he thought they are fairly close. The appraiser must have assumed this was with access, he is appraising with access built and utilities in.

Mr. McGillivray replied yes, Councilwoman Glick noted the Planning s Zoning Committee approved "A".
