Mayor O'Reilly re►eeived a letter from Jesse Wade, copies had been sent to &.0 Council. Councilman Ambarian stated Mr. Wade was aware that assessments are made by the Borough, not the City. Mayor O'Reilly asked == if this also applied to personal property relief. Councilman Ambarian said this was the same thing. Mayor O'Reilly directed the administration to send a letter to Mr. Wade stating that assessments are made by the Borough. Councilman Ambarian said the letter should acknowledge Mr. Wade's letter and the facts should be given, f y KENAI CITY COUNCIL DECEMBER 19,1970 Page 3 Council so concurred, F OLD BUSINESS i F-1 Glacier State Bill i Councilwoman Glick said last Tuesday the Public Works committee had a meeting.

G-3 Ordinance 543-70 -Amending Title 10 of Kenai Municipal Code MOTION: Councilman Ambartan moved, seconded by Councilwoman Click, to Intro- duce the ordinance. There was no public comment. Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote. 0-4 Ordinance 544-70 - Emergency waiver of Title 20 regarding Transportation. Atty. Delahay explained 5 votes were needed for an emergency waiver introduction. MOTION: Councilman Ambarian moved, seconded by Councilman Seaman, to Intro- duce the ordinance. Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote. G-4 (2nd reading) Public Hearing was held. Atty. Ted Carson, representing George Miller, spoke to the Council. He said passage of the ordinance would facilitate getting started, Mr. Miller has 2 cars ready in SoidotnA. They Are prepared to get into ser- vice immediately. They would like a waiver of paint preparation and meters temporarily. Councilwoman Glick asked if it is a hard job to get metering devices. Since money is being charged, meters are of the utmost importance. Atty. Carson replied the main problem is gettinr their calls returned. They anticipated getting them bought this after- noon. He promised to call Seattle and get them right away. He noted they had slot of money at stake, as it to the Christman season. Council- woman Glick asked if they could use the meters from Bert's Cabs. Atty. Carson replied yes, they had thought they could purchase them. The cob company has been sold, and the former owner is claiming the equip- ment for the debt owed. They would prefer not to get embroiled. Council- man Ambarfan asked Mr. Carson how long it would take from Settle. Atty. Carson replied possibly less than a week. Councilman Ambarian asked It they could get it tomorrow by Wien. Atty. Carson replied it is a possi- bility. They have made time estimates conservative to not lose faith with the Council. Councilwoman Glick asked, without meters, how do you keep track of the funds. How does the customer know? Atty. Carson replied by odometer readings, as described in Ordinance 20.04.100. Councilwoman Glick said her concern is that you are not put in jeopardy. I I «.... . W . II. KENAI CITY COUNCIL DECEMBER19, 1979 Page 5 She further suggested a trip sheet that the driver could record. It could be a continuous record on a trip sheet, Taxi jeopardy and peoplo com- plaining to Council about being "gyppod" would be avoided. Atty. Carson conceded this was an excellent suggestion. Councilwoman Glick asked Atty. Delahay for his opinion. Atty. Delahay replied it would not take the place of a meter. A motor is required in the ordinance so the passenger can see the meter. The passenger cannot read the odometer, Even if the driver writes it down, the passenger can complain. The painting is not important, but this protects the City, Councilwoman Glick asked if a trip sheet and odometer could be included in the emergency ordinance as a temporary waiver. Atty, Delahay replied it could, but it would be obvious, The portion Atty. Carson read to already in the ordinance. A receipt is seldom done, he added "if the passenger requests." Chief Ross spoke to the Council, explaining that meters are hard to come by, An alternate to the odometer is zoning. The customer tells the driver where he's go- ing and the driver computes the fare before he leaves. This would be a simple way. Mayor O'Reilly said the way this reads now, the Chiefs suggestion could be put in right now , Atty. Delahay said yes, it is much better than the odometer, Public hearing was then closed. MOTION: Councilmen Ambarlan moved, seconded by Councilman Seaman, to amend the original motion to delete a portion of 20.05.100 regarding the City Man - agar, and add "not to exceed 14 days ." Councilwoman Glick asked Atty. Delahey how he felt about deleting the section regarding the City Manager. Atty, Delahay replied, Put a limit- _. ation on time if you wish the City Manager to limit to 14 days, the clause should be left in and just insert the suggested language between "period" and "which", which wouldn't hurt anything. Mayor O'Reilly asked Atty. Carson is that would cause any difficulty, Atty. Carson replied the only difficulty is the painting. Atty . Delahay noted the amendment applies only to meters. Atty. Carson said okay, no problem. Motion on amendment to Ordinance 544-79 was r by roll tail vote. approved unanimously = f� Main motion for approval of Ordinance 544-79 was approved unanimously by roll call vote. ti-5 Resolution 70-167 - Construction M.anaoement of Civic renter, Anproval, l� I .I c..l I t 1 1 a I � I I ' I I I ..'I P Y � a �i iC KENAI CITY COUNCIL DECEMBER 19, 1979 Page 6 Mrs. Settles explained the resolution was needed in order to move for- ward with the Civic Center. Mayor O'Reilly explained the sequence is December 13 the Council and Chamber of Commerce will meet with the Legislators. In addition to that we have received information that in order to qualify with the other Civic renters proposed around the State It's necessary that some municipal body assume willingness to administer funds for construction and management of the Civic facility. Atty. nelahay said in referring to the law itself, besides being willing, to manage the facility , a. The project must be endorsed by a governing body or an arts committee. b. The Commissioner must be satisfied that the sponsoring muni- cipality has authority to provide and maintain the facility, is able to provide local share of project costs, and will be finan- cially able to maintain and operate the facility upon completion. c. The municipality provides information regarding costs. d. The completed application must be submitted to "various people." e. A summary of annual maintenance must have approval of the general public. Atty. Delahay stated he was not at all sure the community may have to pay for the maintenance, and the public should know. Mayor O'Reilly asked if we can do as an arts committee. Atty. Delahay replied yes, we have no arts committee. Mayor O'Reilly asked if the funds are available, do we still have to have a vote of the people. Atty. Delahey said the cost to the city is 10% of the total cost. Councilman Malston asked if the vote wasn't done in 13071. Atty. Delahay replied it was not for this specific money and many of the people who voted on it are pone. Councilman Malston noted the memey In still there and it was voted on. Atty. Delahay agreed with Councilman Malston, but said Mrs. Settles needs approval right away. Councilwoman Glick said at the last meeting the costs figures were $3.5 million, now it is up to $5 million. How did it get from $3.5 million to$5 million. Mrs. Settles explained all plans are preliminary, they are figuring $100 per square foot, using basic plans made several years ago, without a health center. 2,700 square feet is $3 million, the extra is to "outfit" it. Councilwoman Glick asked if they had an alternate plan. Mrs. Settles replied they wanted to give the citizens what they asked for. The proposal will go to Juneau, to Committee, then to the Commissioner. They can't be sure if it will go through. The money is pretty sure to be available, we need to get a proposal in now, we can change it later if needed. Mrs. Glad noted the figures Mrs. Settles is using are from the Mayor's Committee report of last year. P i I " 11 e) KENAI CITY COUNCIL DECEMBER 19,1079 Pap 7 Mayor O'Reilly asked does the resolution show a willingness on the part of the Committee, not an irrevokable committment? Acting City Manager Brown explained the resolution does not bind the City to matching share, ;: is impossible to do because figures are not known. It only shows willingnoss. Councilman Ambarian said as much as he would like to see it built, he doesn't think the City can take on the responsibility of maintenance. It is sad that at the last election, an iriditorium in the high school was turned down by this City. Councilman Malston said, after the acting City Manager's comments, he doesn't believe we are committing ourselves to anything. It may change. One reason this wan not built in 1971 election was the State's funds were not approved. Now we have the funds. Mayor O'Reilly said the summary statement should be dealt with also. Mr. Brown said most of the summary statement refers to needs. The last paragraph states the City has the final responsibility.

The extra $1,000 was to shove the Department how to use the vehicle. MOTION: Councilman Ambarian moved, seconded by Councilman Measles, to approve the resolution. Mayor O'Reilly asked Chief Winston if it was his wish to reject the bids. Chief Winston replied they had only allotted $20,000 and it was the opinion of Mr. Brown that the best way would be to reject all bids and then see If the Council would allocate more funds. Councilman Malston said he had 2 questions. Is Federal Revenue Sharing Funds the reason the$20,000 figure was set? Chief Winston replied their information at that time was (A, KENAI CITY COUNCIL DECEMBER 10 1079 Page 9 they could purchase it at that price. Councilman Malston then asked if they added more equipment, Chief Winston said no, Councilman Malodon asked how much money was left in the Federal Revenue Sharing Fund, Mr, Brown replied $27,200 is the minimum f1purc, it could be greater. We are only one quarter into the fedoral year, MOTION: Councilwoman Glick moved, seconded by Councilman Ambarian, to amont the resolution to accept the bid in the amount of $29,774. Mayor O'Reilly noted the amendment will substantially change the res- olution, but he will vote for it, fie asked Atty. Delahay if this was par- liamontary acceptable, Atty, Dolahay replied yos, if we go this figure, but he wondered if it was worth having a man come up to show how to use the vehicle. Chief Winston replied no, only the electrical genorator is j different than a regular vehicle, Mayor 011tailly asked what the trans- portation costs were from California, Chief Winston replied $3,000 with engineer, Mayor O'Reilly noted Council should realize they must come up with additional funds.

Volume I sF ` I r i Y r + i `I i 1 I 0 r) N KENAI CITY COUNCIL DECEMBER 10, 1079 Page 10 We have not changed our rates since 1076; our proposal, compared to Anchorage: Waiting time same Mileage 80% over Flag Drop 50% over On the last Council action, we were 100% above Anchorage mileage and 60% flag drop. One important difference, in Anchorage they have live meter, time and cost are both added, we don't charge waiting time, Councilman Malston asked, why does Anchorage use live meters. Atty. Carson replied our ordinance doesn't allow it, and we thought we could handle it at this rate. Gas costs are still going up, we may have to come back in one year. Mr. Kimes, Mr. Miller's accountant, spoke. They researched the prier cab companies in coming up with their package. They proposed 2 cabs, 1-24 hr. and 1-12 hr. The present rate is minimal, vrojeeted income is not great, but they feel they can live with it. The reason they are asking for an increase, there were several cab companies in the past, we have none now. Wo need this much. Councilwoman Glick noted the payroll is low, will Mr. Miller drive a cab, Mr. Kimes said tO% of what they take in as wages are expeditors. Atty.

The long-term area & city benefit If funds are to be available in Juneau, we should make a reasonable effort to procure them for our area. Airport Manager Swalley spoke on the air freight terminal proposal. He questioned the advisability of requesting funds for the project in view of the applications for lease. We have the applications on file. We would be in competition,they could not conspete with us. He said he contacted one applicant, who said he was shocked, and he might have to withdraw. Councilman Ambarian said not all projects will be funded. Sometimes we have to stimulate in order to start things moving. We should leave it in. Mayor O'Reilly asked Mr. Swalley, in talking 0 0 AR KENAI CITY COUNCIL DECEMBER 19,1979 Page 14 to the applicant, would he immediately withdraw? Mr. Rwalloy replied no, but the applicant indicated he would have to do some serious think- ing if we went into competition. Also, there is prime property there, if we discourage others, property value goes down. Mayor O'Reilly said if the City built the terminal, rates would be so low, it would drive private business out. lie agrees with Councilman Ambarian that the app- licant may not rosily do it. Further, as Mr. Swalley stated before, it might lower values. Councilman Ambarian said even if we had the project, it would not be Council's intention to run the facility, We could got pri- vate individuals to run it, Mayor O'Reilly noted there was no problem there, the other applicant just couldn't compete with the City charges. Councilwoman Glick suggested it be put further down on the list, Wien might want to build a terminal also. The applicants have shown an in- terest. Govermmnnt should not compote with private enterprise. Not all the projects will be funded. Councilman Ambarien said all the Council agreed that type of facility in needed, whether private or public funds, Right now we have nothing but promises. Mayor O'Reilly referred to a further list, and the recreation list, Public Works Director Kornelis explained that there is a difference between lists, The lst list is labor- intensive, there would be jobs after construction. The 2nd list in for jobs just during construction, but we would have a facility afterwards, Mayor O'Reilly remarked that Rep. Malone reviewed the list with him and Councilwoman (click on Dec. 18, 1970, and noted if we just hand the list to them and not follow throu fh two are fools. Anchorage has weekly visits to the legislature from voted officials, we need to go to Juneau to promote budget funds, for 2 reasons: a. Local legislators can't get to all the meetings, b, They can't compote with the organized efforts of the other communities. Legislators wish to communicate with the elected officials, as these officials have the vote of the people. Councilwoman Glick said if the Council agrees, we should send the list immediately to those involved In Juneau. Ate would like to send the delegates and call to Juneau for direct communication. We should "push and shove like the other guys." Mayor O'Reilly noted that 4 months of the legislature, 2 visits per month, a total of 15 visits. If we are willing to put in that kind of effort, they will know we are sincere. Councilman Ambarian said there will be more fighting at the City level than at the Borourb level.
