WETLANDS HEARINGS
Murray Walsh, Office of Coastal Management, spoke. He
explained, they are here basically to "grease the wheels."
There is a Memo of Understarding(MOE) that all pertinent
agencies would sign. This will take time and money to
complete. Mr. Walsh noted Mayor O'Reilly had explained
how much it means to the City. As a result, it means
more to OCM, after his presentation. Coastal manage-
ment programs require proposals, the Borough is doing
one right now. What the new Borough administration feels,
OCM doesn't know. It will take 1-1/2 years to prepare,
one year to study and 6 mos. to agree on what is right.
All at the table must agree all along the line. Thie
is experimental, it has not been done before. 004 serves
as "grease," but at some time an agency must take over
that can stay in the area. Ultimately there will, be a
City consultant. The 4 State agencies and 4 Federal
agencies must agree. The agencies involved area
Federal -
Corps. of Engineers
National Marine Fisheries
Fish & wildlife
State -
Dept. of Environmental Conservation
Dept. of Natural Resources
Fish & Game
Office of Coastal Management
State Dept. of Community & Regional Affairs will
be major funding source.
Councilwoman Glick entered at this time.
Amy Kyle, Office of Coastal Management, spoke. She
noted Gary Davis, Administrative Coordinator, had sug-
gested the City take the lead in promoting this to the
citizens of the City. This is something the City can
consider. It is entirely legal. Mr. Walsh noted OCM
KENAI CITY COUNCIL
DECEMBER 17, 1980

would encourage this. Ms. Kyle continued - The advan-
tages of this program .ares
1. The permit system would be more predictable.
2. Review time would be shorter.
3. Important wetlands will be identif;Ad.
4. Siting of wetlands locations will be found.
5. In cage3 Af a !Rfn*ea + rAAea-nf F e i * rn" 9wb An..n
on the basis of this plan.
6. It could bring bureaucratic problems out in
the open.
7. Areas that need Corps. of Engineers identifi-
cation will be made.
Mayor O'Reilly asked, if the City signs the MOE, what
does Mr. Walsh see the City will put into the "pot?"
Mr. Walsh replied, largely the same thing. OCM hopes
the Borough will support the City project, and not slow
it down. If we show solidarity, it will help." We repre-
sent many different needs, the City will primarily repre-
sent the needs of the City." Environmental concerns are
well represented, the City will best speak on development
needs.
Councilman Malston arrived.
Debby Clausen, State Fish & Game, spoke. She introduced
representatives present at the Meeting, there were repre-
sentatives froms Environmental Protection Agency, Fish
& Wildlife, Fish & Game, Dept. of Natural Resources,
Environmental Conservation Agency, Dept. of Conser-
vation, Planning Div., and National Marine Fisheries.
Ms. Clausen read from her prepared statement.

Mayor O'Reilly asked what was the estimated cost of the
study? Ms. Clausen replied approximately $224,000. The
habitat part will be over two years.
Councilman Wagoner asked, what was the definition of
wetlands? Mr. Walsh replied, there are about 15 differ-
ent opinions, the Corps. of Engineers defines it as a
combination oft
i
Vegetation
Soils
i
Hydrology
Ms. Clausen noted it is identified by Fish & wildlife
based largely on vegetation and soils. Mr. Walsh said

the jurisdiction is intertwined with the wetlands def-
inition. There are many variables. Me. Kyle noted as
part of this project, the Corps. of Engineers will tell
us what part of the wetlands fall their jurisdiction.
There are two criterias a.►k..
1. Whether they are defined as wetlands.
i. If they are in the right place
Mayor O'Reilly asked, what is the next stage? Mr.
Walsh replied, whatever Council steps are needed. He
1 noted right now all agencies are in agreement. Mayor
O'Reilly asked, is Jan. 15, 1981 start-up? Mr. Walsh
replied yes. Mayor O'Reilly asked, if we have a
Jan. 7, 1981 resolution, would that fit in your time
j frame? Mr. Walsh replied, they will start now and wait
i for the go-ahead from the City. They must hear from
the Borough first.
Public Input -
Waldo Coyle spoke. He noted since he is part-owner of
the land, under a patent awarded in 1949, he wanted to
speak. Nothing was said about water or Corps, of Engi-
neers supervision. He only recognizes the stipulations
on his patent. OCM is asking the City to make a deal on
lands we know nothing about, and will get no reimburse-
ment for. How can the government take land without
Just compensation? The City has zoning powers under
the Borough, now OCM is attempting to take lands without
compensation. Perhaps a court case would be necessary
to establish if they can take the land without compen-
sation.
Ruby Coyle spoke. She didn't think the City should go
into an agreement with these people. She has not seen
the agreement yet.
Phil Bryson, Chairman of Planning & Zoning Commission,
spoke. He would like to see public hearings with Plan-
ning & Zoning and the Council.
Mr. Walsh said he was unprepared for the strength of Qome
people's feelings. There must be 30 days notice for
public hearings. We could start Fish & Game efforts
on the gamble of the City's feelings. The other agencies
can wait, Fish & Game cannot. The agreement is just to
participate in the effort, the City can step away at any
time from the effort. OCM wants a sense of togetherness.

City Manager Brighton asked Mr. Walsh, without the agree-
ment, the study will not be done? Mr. Walsh replied yes.
Mr. £rightnr" aske.3, woaldn't you have to do this anyhow,
even dept. by dept.? Mr. Walsh replied the idea is our
B dept. and the City will agree.
Council agreed to a special meeting on Jan. .1.4, 1981.
Mayor O'Reilly said then Mr. Walsh could have the feel-
Ing of the City to bring to the Borough .Tan. 20, 1981.
Mr. Walsh said that was okay. He noted Community i
Regional Affairs is reluctant to gamble, but OCM may
be able to work with the Borough in that time. Mayor
O'Reilly noted Mr. & Mre. Coyle are excellent sources
of reference, if Mr. Walsh was interested. Mr. Walsh
-
replied, if they wish to, OCM would like to contact them.
Councilwoman Glick said the whole idea of the program
Is to simplify the program. Regarding compensation,
that is discussed in the preamble. 71woe things are
being addressed. It is of benofit to owners as well
as the City. Waldo Coyle said if this is a Federal
act, they must be done by the Federal Government, it
is not up to the City to settle. Mr. Walsh said it may
be that a court suit may bring about the desired result.
He didn't think so. He hopes the citizens don't doubt
the sincerity of the entities involved.
Mayor O'Reilly zatd at the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce
meeting Monday (12-15-80) there were some startling
statements wades their position was that the quality
of life will now be the most fundamental issue in the
City development. It is a reversal of the previous
positions.

After a recess, the ragular Council meeting continued.
There was no agenda approval.

Public Comments
Wayne Regelin spoke. He said he would urge the
NOUAI CITY CODUCIL

Page 5
Council delay action till we find out what the Bor-
ough will » wit: planning. We may have to hire
someone to take over these duties.
Ruby Coyle spoke. She agreed with Mr. Regelin.
She wonders if we get the same kind of service
on a contractural basis as we do with City employeas.
"Contracts are fine, but if any little deal is not
in writing, you can come out with a sour one." You
would have more direct control over a City employee.
You need someone to have Control over City lands.
She would think long before selling tine City lands.
We have just seen what happened on a lease of City
lands to the small boat harbor. She can see the
City down the road buying back land the City has
sold now. There is lots of land on the market.
You need someone qualified to handle leasing of
land, but we should not sell.

ings Dec. 16, tonight (12-17-80), and one scheduled

is cancelled? City Manager Brighton explained
Jar.. 7 is the final stage after the brochures are
complete. If there were changes, we could add an
addendum, we are held to the Jar. 7 hearing.
Councilwoman Glick asked, do we just need a state-
ment saying we concur with the time schedule per

not cancelling the time schedule of Public works

F-1 City Manager Questionnaire
Councilman Wagoner suggested, if we mail this out
to the public, they should be asked to list any
areas they feel could be improved specifically.
City Manager Brighton explained, this is just to
give an overview of the City problem, Council-
man Wagoner suggested sending a separate question-
naire at the same time. Mr. Brighton replied, this
is a separate problem. Mayer O'Reilly noted, this
is an unidentified form, thlo would be identifying
areas. Could we get response by areas? Mr. Brighton
explained, this would change the intent of the
questionnaire. This is a cross-section and was
designed to get a cross-section, late has added
more gijestf-ons to the original questionnaire. He
asked the media to not publish the questionnaire
till it is answered to avoid bias. Tito Cy_ty would
ask for no publicity till then. There was some
discussion on individual questions. Mr. Brighton
explained, the results will be in percentages,, it
will prove we need to do work in thiz area of
work. Councilman Wagoner noted on number 12,
there's never been talk of 90% of funding, it has
always been 100%. That is building a negative
response.
Council agreed to change that to 100%.

Finance Director Brown asked to add to the requi-

explained since Mr. Murray designed the building,
they felt they should deal with this man for the
gymnasium. It will be in the capital improvements
brochure. Councilwoman Glick asked, where are the
funds coming from? Finance Director Brown replied,
non -departmental professional services account.
Councilwoman Glick said she had an objection, are
r we doing this based on Capital Improvements Projects?
Mayor O'Reilly replied yes. Councilwoman Glick
asked, isn't this far down on the list? City
Manager Brighton replied, $18. Councilwoman
Glick asked, how did we. arrive. at $5,000 figure?
Mr. Brighton said it is the cost of the gymnasium.
Mr. McGillivray said the additional funding was
based on the additional features added. Council-
woman Glick asked, does the total figure include
the ball fields? Mr. McGillivray replied yes.

Councilwoman Glick said it may be easy to get
facilities, but we should be getting facilities that

for operation and maintenance. Councilman
Wagoner replied, he didn't think the gymnasium
at this time will cost us that much. Whoever is
hired can oversee the gymnasium also. There would
be increased utilities and janitorial charge only.
Mr. McGillivray agreed with Councilman Wagoner.

Councilman Wagoner asked, the resolution says
Alaska Truck meets all specs, does Alaska Sales L
Service meet all specs? Mr. Brighton replied he

is this t'4e 2nd dump truck? Mr. Brighton replied
no, he originally asked for $60,000. He went to
bid for $50,000. It was Federal Revenue Sharing
monies. Finance Director Brown explained Mr.
Kornelis has one older one and one that is
wrecked. This is the Federal Revenue Sharing we

there is one dump truck wrecked, Mr. Kornelia
said there was one used one he could get at
$50,000. we told him to get it, but he wasn't

proposals were too low, Councilman Mueller noted
Mike Taurianinedsrecommendation for Lawton Dr. is
lower than Wince, Corthell & Bryson is and was not
recommended for this. Councilwoman Glick replied
true, but we considered the local firm. The

the reutrictions are necessary for Daubenspacks to
have a tax deduction. The deedo t erissolves are
unrestricted. We, do not know the complete value
of the land as to gas & oil reserves.

CouneilwrAwn Glick moved, seconded by Councilman

Councilwoman Glick asked, we are seeing that we will
dedicate the proceeds to athletic programs by res-
olution, this can be undone. Do we need something
more binding? Atty. Delahay replied, this is what
their attorneYs have suggested. We are accenting
subject to this provision. If we violate, the
Daubenspecks could violate or withdraw. If another
Council tries to use it otherwise, they could come
back and withdraw or protest. Councilman wagoner
asked, this does not prevent us from the sale.
Atty. Delahay replied, right.

KENAI C177i COUNCIL
DECEMBER 17, 1980
Page 19
Atty. Delahay pYpl.ained this was placed on the
table tonight with amendments. The reason was the
election problem the Clerk brought to his atten-
tion. We could put this on the ballot with this
election, it is a charter change. The property
owner's stipulation is unconstitutional.
MOTION, Amendment.,
Councilwoman Glick moved, with concurrence of
Councilmen Mueller and Malston, to amend the
resolution by substituting section two as sub-
mitted this date (12-17-80) and note the last
sentence, "within the City."
Theras was no public comment.
Councilman Wagoner noted on proposition #3, the City
has the right to spend the money. It was voted
in 1.974, hcre and at the State level. It was a
State bond issue, this doesn't serve a purpose.
Councilwoman Glick said she requested the reso-
lution pertaining to the harbor based on comments
of the public:. Whether or not we voted in 1974,
she won't debate. whether it is allowable or not,
the citizens should vote on it. it will be a
large project. The citizens should have the right
to vote on this. Councilwoman Glick asked Admin.
Coord. Davis, do we have the right to spend the
money? Mr. Davis replied he hadn't found out yet.
Councilwoman Glick said we are spending money we
do not have in written authority. Councilman
Wagoner said this is in the capital project
0250,000. That being the case, any engineering
contract should be put out as a ballot. We voted
over $100,000 to engineering. Councilwoman
Glick said this is the basis for the capital im-
provement project. The acquisition of land for
any capital improvement project starts with the
land. Councilman Measles asked, with #2 and #3,
what would you do if #2 was yes and #3 was no?
Also, there may be a possibility tracts B&C would
not be the correct location. Mayor O'Reilly asked
Atty. Delahay, what would be the timing on the
resolution? Atty. Delahay replied, after checking
with Clerk Whelan, we have ample time if you wish
to work on it. Councilwoman Glick said tracts
B&C may not be the site, but based on information

received, it seems that they are the sites and they
are determined to use $250,000. Personally, she
thought we should wait till CH2M Hill does a feasi-
bility study. Also, this is based can contract offer
and is pending. We have till Feb. 28, 1981 to
accept or reject that proposal. Mayor O'Reilly
noted we have a work session to review the harbor
matter, if we could stay in the time frame and
discuss it at the next meeting. Councilman wagoner
said he could guarantee you that you would have a
hard time getting it at best. It is too long. It
should be cut down, Also, 44, "generally" is not
a specific statement. Mayor O'Reilly asked the
Council if they wished to postpone?
There was no reply from Council.
Admin. Coord. Davis said in discussion with CH2M Hill
and the Harbor Commission, the feelings are there
have been problems in presenting this to the Council,
how they came to the conclusions - the amount of
data that went to Council and :;ill now go to the
public.
r' Vice -Mayor Glick took the chair.
MOTION, To Postpone:
Mayor O'Reilly moved, seconded by Councilman
Wagoner, to postpone till the Jan. 7, 1991 meeting,
the Resolution 80-179.
Mayor O'Reilly said we will have a work session
with the Harbor Commission Dec. 22, 1980. The
wording in #3 can be interpreted two ways. we have
accessibility to State bond funds and can be ob-
tained administratively. That probably hasn't
been emphasized enough. The question has been
raised, granted the funds should be used for this
purpose, but he would feel more comfortable after
getting with the Harbor Commission.
Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote.
Mayor O'Reilly resumed the chair.

G-21 Cemetary Maintenance Contract - Tim
Wiesnewski
City Manager Brighton noted this has been at 2
work sessions and has not been addressed yet. The
sign says, "City of Kenai Cemetary" but there are
no records or plots. People are using it at will
without authority. Under the circumstances, this
should go before Council. The area has been
totally neglected with the exception of recent
help by the City and volunteers. Mr. Wiesnewski
has devoted a good amount of time and energy with-
out payment. Councilman Malston asked, have we
ever determined who owns the land? Mayor O'Reilly
said the last he heard, BLM owns it. Councilman
Malston said that doesn't mean we should not main-
tain it. Mr. Wiesnewski explained he is going by
guidelines of other cemetaries. The records are
important, but the markers are good for uniformity.
Councilwoman Glick said there are records. Mr.
Wiesnewski replied, the center section was done in
the middle 601s, he received the records from Carl
Glick. There are areas, however, where you don't
know who is buried there. Councilman Wagoner said
we should find out who owns the land. We should
develop, survey, etc. with the help of Mr. Wiesnewski.
It is better than it used to be. We should not
enter into a contract without ownership. Council-
woman Glick said but it is still being used during
this time. If it takes considerable time, we
should have a contract in the meantime.
MOTIONS
Councilman Malston moved, seconded by Councilman
Measles, to direct the administration to draw up
a contract between Mr. Wiesnewski and the City for
maintenance of the cemetary.

Common8ense Alaska had a meeting in Anchorage,
Saturday (12-13-80). It is an excellent
effort, discussing what should be clone with
the excess funds going to the State.
.
Dec. 10, the City Mayors, City Managers, and
4_!,
Borough Mayor Thompson had a meeting. The -
principle item of conversation was removal
of Planning 6 Zoning from the Borough. If
the City wishes to continue planning, zoning
platting, they could do so. Mayor O'Reilly
arcked if Title 29 had been researched regard-
ing government giving up powers? Also, even
if the cities set up planning powers, what
is to prevent a new Borough from taking the
-
powers back? now would this he financed? Do
-
the Borough funds flow through to the City?
He felt it would have a bad effect on economic
development. The meeting was inconclusive, he
j
suggested the Council wait a reasonable amount
of time for action and call a meeting of the
f'
"
Mayors of the Borough area to take a course
of action.

Ruby Coyle spoke. Regarding Planning & Zoning
returning to the City. At this time, what was the
opinion of the other t1ayors? Mayor O'Reilly re-
plied, the proposal raises more problems than it
solves. The Mayors were very much against it,
he could assume. Mrs. Coyle asked, does the City
have to be willing to take the responsibility?
Mayor O'Reilly replied yes. Mrs. Coyle noted the
Borough could take it back whether the City wants
them to or not. Councilman Mueller said he attended
the Finance Committee meeting in the Borough. He

expressed the City position, we were not against
relief, dust that it should be studied. They
asked what would our reaction be on the vote, ;could
Council put this on real estate tax? He said he
told them he did not know, they would look at all this.
Councilwoman Glick said perhaps they should consider
deleting It of the Borough tax. Was this conveyed
to the Committee? Councilman Mueller said we may
have given two different programs, but they are
not in conflict. He felt we should look at the
program thoroughly before acting. He noted it was
referred to a sub -committee for further study.
Councilman Measles asked Co+mcilman Mueller, did he
feel a sense of the Finance Committee? Have they
made up their minds already? Councilman Mueller
replied one of the committee (members) thought it
was a good idea, after r.;eiving static, he was
willing to study it furicher.
Mayor O'Reilly wished all those present a Merry Christmas.

Dick Nebteee, from KSRM, said he can't hear what is being
