4. Transfer of Liquor License - Pizza Paradisos
Apparently, this transfer is from an individual to a corporation and simply a
change of ownership.
PERSONS PRESENT SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD
S. Vesta Leigh - Bear's Lair

22. Statement - Malone Surveyina
This statement requests payment for the survey of the Kenai Spur plat. ;
23. Discussion - Park Development Proaram
There is a memorandum included in your packet which discusses the project and
asks for Council discussion and guidance as to what our policy should be in this ,
area. n
24. Sewage Dumping Disposal ti
Essentially, this item raises a question for Council discussion - should we do .,
this by in-house control or by a franchise operation.
26. Discussion - Section 36 and NE h of Section 29
This should be fully discussed by the City as there is an apparent commitment
of funds.
26. Allocation of $3,000 - Sno Shoe Gun Club
The Council did authorize a provision of $3,000 to the Sno Shoe Gun Club. The
Administration is waiting for the City Attorney to review the legal aspects of
whether or not this will come out of recreation funds, bond funds or general $
appropriations and by what process the allocation should be made. If this is
developed in time, it will be added to the agenda.
27. Leasing Policy
i
The leasing
policy has been forwarded to the Attorney for incorporation into
existing ordinances so that it relates to the codification effort of the City. If
this is prepared, it will also be added to the agenda.
City Manager's Report #78-2

28. Amendment to Lease - Vesta Leigh
As previously mentioned under Vesta Leigh's presentation to the Council, if
her lease amendment is prepared it will also be added to the agenda for Council's
consideration.
29. Appointment of Acting Police Chief
I have officially appointed Lt. Mahurin as Acting Chief during the absence of
Chief Ross. Therefore, he is the official head of that department during this
period.
30. Coastal Energy Impact Funds
Again, I have to regretably report that the Legislative Budget and Audit
Committee has not authorized the release of Coastal Energy Impact Funds so we still
do not know how much, if anything, we are going tc receive from that program.
Hopefully, they are going to meet again next week and at that time will have a
resolution of what monies will be made available. Incidently on release of those
funds, I would recommend that the City reapply for Coastal Energy Impact Funds on
the second round. The funding for the second round will not be as extensive as
the first but, again, we need to ask for our share and to accomplish whatever we can
in productive engineering.
31. EDA QUIP Program
s We may have a proposal to add to the agenda relative to the EDA QUIP program,
which provides additional work to the snow removal equipment building (warm storage
building) to provide against heat loss. The Director of Public Works will attend
the meeting with Mr. Courtnage and receive guidance from him. If we can develop
a program and application prior to the Council meeting, it will be presented at that
time for your consideration.
32. City of Kenai Fire Rating
I have written ISO in San Francisco requesting data as to when our fire rating
will be changed and asked also for a scheduled inspection of the City in August or
September so that we may be eligible to achieve a reclassification to a 5.

FROM$ Keith Kornelis, Director of Public Works
SUSJECTs Public Works Report for City Council Meeting of
January 16, 1978.
EDA Water Well Project
Our problems with the new well are not completely resolved. On
Tuesday, January 10, 1978, Harold Galliett and I spent the day,
with the involved contractors trying to find a solution to the
problem of our well head pump shutting off. Fortunately, we all
feel that there is no major problem. We do have an excellent system
once we can work some of the bugs out of the electrical control
part of the system.
Interstate has submitted pay estimate number 15 as final. Due to
the problems we are presently having with the well, Mr. Galliett
and myself feel that the 10% retainage should not be paid at this
time. The pay estimate was therefore left off the agenda. I will
have a copy of it at the Council meeting if anyone is interested.
P
3M Gallen water Tank. City Water and Sewer Improvements and the
I heard that we have received a time extension for start up on all
three of these projects. Other than this, I don't believe their
has been any change of status.
Sign Making Machine
Jerry Pay, the field technician representative for 3M was here
Thursday, January 12, to repair the sign baking machine which had
been wired wrong at the factory. We are still missing one part
that has burnt out. The part is expected to come in next week at
which time we will be ready to make signs. The City will not be
paying for any of this repair work. I have contacted the venders
who will be providing us with materials: 3M - decals; Traffic
Control Signs - metal blanks; and a local lumber company for posts.
The Public Works Department is now making a recommendation which
we will go ahead with unless told otherwise.

The Alaska Traffic Manual and Alaska Sign Design Specifications
have guidelines on signs. They give a minimum for sign size but
will allow larger sizes. They also give alternatives for sign
posts. Thera has been $7,000 appropriated for sign materials.
The Public Works Department plans on ordering the following unless
told otherwises Signss Stop - 30"; Yield - 36"; and Speed Limit •-
24" x 30". Postes 4" x 4" wood. The reasons we would like to use
wood posts aces (1) Can buy locally and immediately vs. buying in
Anchorage or Seattle with a waiting periods (2) only need low
stock because we can buy immediately; and (3) The wood posts
cost + $8.00 vs. $40.00 - $60.00 for stool posts. (100 posts would
mean T800.00 vs. 05,000.00) Stool posts have boon used in the past.
1969 Kenworth V12 Tanker
On Thursday, January 5, 1978, Van Swan, Ernie Rimor, Ken Thomas
and myself spent a couple of hours going over this truck. Except
for a few oil leaks, which we feel we can fix, the truck is in
good shape, it is a powerful truck that was really designed for
heavy long hauls. if the Piro Department feels that they can drive
it correctly, it sounds like a good deal. (15 speed Road Ranger)
STP Modifications
On Friday, January 13, 1978, Loren Leaman and Charles E. Torkko
of CH2M Hill met with me. Loren brought 2 copies of the plant
modifications they are suggesting. Ito also gave me a cost
estimate of $40,411 and soma catalog cuts. i will bring this
information to the City Council meeting if anyone is interested.
Charles Korkko discussed the proposal that the City is asking for
on airport paving.
i might add that we are malting some improvements to the STP ourselves
and are continuing to get good test results. All of our emergency
equipment in the plant are in good operational conditions.
Our two STP operators are attending a three day and a five day
instructional wastewater treatment workshop. We hope to send two
additional men for training to be used as back-up if necessary in
the STP. There is a new Alaska State Law that requires all
wastewater treatment operators to be certified by September 24, 1979.
Neither one of our operators are certified but hope to be before
this date.

Equipment Auction
There are 23 vehicles that are privately owned which we have
impounded and are in our City yard. We are presently trying to
get title to them so they can be sold. Those that no one bids
on will be taken to the land fill. Saturday, March 4, 1978 at
2s00 p.m. is the date that the Public Works Department would
like to hold the auction. We are presently getting all the infor-
mation gathered and getting ready to advertise.
EDA - Public Works Impact Program
I received the attached transmittal letter at the meeting you
asked me to attend on January 13, 1978. we did not discuss any
j particulars as to what projects were to be done. I did ask if
1 we were held to "winterize city warm storage building" as stated
in the transmittal letter. Mr. Courtnago stated that we were
not. I am not sure that there is $33,000 worth of eligible work
that can be done on this shop building. Some thought should be
given and Council discussion on other projects. The City will
have to pay 20% or $6,600 and EDA will fund the remaining 80%.
Construction Specifications
-
I am presently working on gathering information for Construction
Specifications. To originate a good act of construction specifications
would take a team of engineers and draftsmen a year or more to
perfect. The Greater Anchorage Area Borough has a set of standard
specifications. I have a copy of their February 1974 specifi-
cations. They have modified this many times since and I will
shortly be receiving their updated May 1976 copy. I talked to
Kr. Lee Browning, Anchorage's Engineer, on Monday, January 16th.
I explained that I was thinking about asking our City Council to
consider establishing their set of specifications. He stated that
they would have no objections and would send me more information
including a subdivision agreement. He suggested that I drop in
and visit with him sometime. He also suggested that if we do decide
to establish their specs that we might want to hire a local engineering
consultant to go through and adapt them to match our area a little
closer.
In addition to a set of specs, the City needs an administrative
'j check list. A set of procedures to follow for plan approval, inspection,
and accepting new roads or water or sewer lines. If these procedures
---f are not followed, or if, as in the past, there are no procedures,

when it comes time to accept the,road or utilities, we will have
no idea how it was constructed. If we thou accept the road or
utility, there is that possibility that it will be nothing but a
headache and costly to maintain.

Dear Mr, Wises
The reduction in the growth of the demand for energy to a major
objective of the Administration. To further the energy consorvA-
tion initiative, EDA has allocated a portion of Fiscal Year 1988
Public Worke Impact Program funds for energy conservation measures
• in existing public buildings.
The Public Works Impact Pro?ram (PVIIP) is designed to generate short-
term construction jobs. The projects constructed under PWIP squat,
therofore, be labor-intensive, Consequently, the programs eligible
under this program must both create short -torn jobs and save BTLta,
The main purpose of the projects should not be replacement of
machinery as such projectst labor intensity would be insufficient,
If the applicant proposes to force account the project, then emphasis
should be upon the hiring of now unemployed poroons, Use of employes
,already on the applicant's payroll should be rigorously restricted
to vary essential supervisors or professionals.
School and hospital buildings generally are not oligiblo under thin
pro3ram no they are specifically covered by legislation proposed by
the Administration which to currently being considered by Congress,
• Each project selected should moot the minimum standards for energy
retention sat by the Department of Enorgy ( if available) or the
individual states.
The project evaluatiost objective will be tot (a) minimize the coats
Involved (in order to spread the available dollars among as many
wwthwhilo projects and areas as possible); (b) maximize the numbers
of jobs created; and (c) saaximiza the amount of BTUo saved,
•ilo have >:oceived the approval of LDA09 Western Regional Office to
encourage you to file an application for this projects
Winterize city wares storage building
Total cost: $339000 Grant rates 80X 3 3
To facilitate your preparing the application, the EDA Anchorage office
has prepared a packet of the application formo, instructions and a
checklist, Those were modified to moot the unique requirements of a
MP lfloatherization application'. A packet is attached for your use,
Ne are requesting that you make every effort to have the application
returned to the Anchorage office by January 31, 1978, our regional
office is faced with a vary short timaframe in which tho applications
are to be processed and approved.
Pleaso contact us tomodiatoly if you have questions, Also koop us
