Wise, City Manager FROM% Phillip Aber, Director of Public Works WEEKLY REPORT FOR WEEK ENDING FEBRUARY 11, 1977 EDA Water Well Project As of this date, our water well contractor is to a depth of 224'. Since passing through our upper aquifer, at approximately 1501, we have penetrated two confining layers of clay and are now starting to enter a third confining layer of clay. Since passing through the upper artesian aquifer, at around 1501, our artesian flow has continually lessened. An -you recall, specs required this well be drilled.to a depth of 2501. This depth should be , attained by Saturday or Sunday of this week. We have scheduled a tenative meeting with Harold Galliet, the engineer on the project, USGS, Garth;',Pehrson, and myself on Friday of this coming week. At this meeting we will make a determination whether to deepen they existing well, or to plug the bottom 100' of the well and try to develope the aquifer at the 150' depth. The possibility does exist that we will not be able to obtain the quantity or quality of water which is required and that an offset well or a second well would have to be drill6d. If we do have to drill a second well, our well house tank and pump facilities will not have to be relocated. All that would be required would be the construction el a concrete pad for the well head and a small out building constructed along with the construction of the supply line from the well head to Well House 02. The contractors are continuing to work on the pumps, valves, fittings, and electrical system for Well House #2. The engineer's drawings and specs were reviewed today for the building and pad that will house the stand-by power generator. Hopefully these drawings will be going out to bid the later part of this coming week. As for the remaining construction of the 12" supply line, Brown and Hoyle Construction are in the process of building a road through the swampy portion of the pipeline right-of-way. Once this road is completed, they will begin excavating through this road to complete the installation of the 12" ductal line. Notes The last two weeks the street crew has spent their time san3ing and removing the ice pack from the streets throughout the city. The sanding that we have boon doing has been done by hand, as the truck that the sander was mounted on has finally J LL' reached the point of being too costly to repair. The street craw is now in the process of rebuilding the sander and reinstalling it on one of our Dodge dump trucks. This changeover should be complete by this time next week. The water and sower department have been working in the yard straightening, organizing, and inventorying their repair and maintenance supplies for the coming summer construction season.

The first is Ordinance 320-77 repealing Section 2-4 of the Code which relates to bars being open on Pleetion Day. The second ordinance is Ordinance 326-77 which is the ordinance accepting and establishing a special revenue fund with the proceeds of the Eagles Library Benefit Drive. The third public hearing is about renewal of the beverage dispensing license for the Katmai Motel, We will have data relative to taxes, sales tax etc, for the Council. 2. Persons Present - Scheduled to be Heard We have Oscar Thomas, who will present a KUSCO franchise agreement in person to the Council. 3. Lease - Child Care Center This is the approval of the lease for the Child Caro Center which, of course, is sited on the FAA bluff land. Rates are in accordance with the fair market value and we believe that the lease is in order. 4. Introduction of Ordinance - Amending Charter We are proposing the introduction of an ordinance calling for a referendum to amond the Charter; (a) to provide for assessment bonding by ordinance rather than by referendum and (b) to repeal the 25% limitation as to the assessments relative to the sum of the fair market value and the actual benefit of the assessment improvement. Both amendments are essential If the City to to assess property owners for obtaining water, sewer or street improvements. In addition, this would clearly require the City to properly form assessment districts with the consent of the property owners and clearly identify the costs before initiating any action and obligating any funds. At this moment, I cannot see, under current law, any assessment districts being formed for two (2) basic reasons; the first being is that the City would have to make a cash contribution, essentially out of pocket from the taxpayers as a whole, to support any assessment program, Secondly, perhaps more important, is simply that the City does not have the funds to finance an assessment district. The cash is not available to underwrite and carry an assessment district by the City. City Manager's Report - O11 February 16, 1977 Page 2 B. Resolution -Section 38 This will be a resolution relative to Section 38 an per Council request to the State recommending a change in statutes relative to School Lands and their use and disposition. 8. Professional Service Contract Resolution awarding a Professional Service Contract for the basic survey of the FAA - Airport lands south of the Spur Highway, adjacent to Beaver Loop Road to the survy firm of McLane and Associates. The sum here is considerably more than I have anticipated, however, the survey is still essential to our further development of the land and hopefully, in the not -to -distant future. 7. Ordinance - Amend Airport Regulations We are asking for an Introduction of an Ordinance to make some minor amendments to the Airport Regulations relative to a technical problem as raised by the FAA. This relates to some of the language and a diagram we have relative to the movement area and helicopter operations. The FAA simply finds this a technical problem and they recommend this change to solve this technical problem. 8. Resolution - Transfer of Funds We are asking for this resolution to transfer funds from the Police Reserve to Police Training inasmuch as the Reserve Program is now suspended duo to insurance problems and we do have a need for additional training funds within the Police Department. 9. Leases We have two lease applications for airport land to come before the Council. One is from W.M Burnett and Associates relative to land lying across from the Fire Department and adjacent to the Teamsters. The proposal seems to be a very meritorious one and presumably, will be very valuable to the City. The second lease application is by Mr. Church from the Title Escrow firm for land on Willow in Fidalgo Subdivison which is property adjacent to the Public Safety Building on the West side. a City Manager's Report - 611 February 16, 1077 Page 3 10. Interstate Periodic Payment Request The forms are complete and the payment appears to be okay. U. Police Car Quotes We have quotes from Chevrolet and Ford; however, we have not yet been able to receive a Chrysler quote. We expect to receive it next week, but it is doubtful that we will receive it before the Council meeting on Wednesday. Therefore, we will presumably carry this over to the next meeting. 12. Lease of Old Library Building In your packet to a letter from the Historical Society. Tr_ essence, they are asking for use of the old library building under essentially the same terms and conditions as the Fine Arts Center is cooupying the old fire station. As to the request of the old city hall, we are looking into this and hopefully, we can accomodate that issue. I would basically like to proceed with drafting a short-term lease with the Historical Society on a $1.00 a year basis of leasing the facility to them for whatever term that they choose to apply for. 13. OSHA Inspection On December 17, 1976, the State OSHA inspector visited the City and went through the City shop. He identified six (6) violations relative to the Shop equipment. Of the six (6), five (5) have already been corrected and the sixth requires the training of several individuals within the Shop in emergency medical treatment. We are waiting for one of our firemen to complete his instructor's course, and as soon as that is completed, we will have a local in-house training course to qualify at least several of our people to be able to render emergency medical treatment. I have asked the department to give me the cost of the corrections as required by the State, and as soon as I have received that, I will pass it on to the Council. 14. Fire Prevention Report Enclosed in the January Fire Prevention Report which I believe is self-explanatory. i A A vt City Manager's Report - #11 February 16, 1977 Page 4 15. Resolution - Transfer of Funds We have on the agenda a resolution requesting a transfer of fund from Contingency to Insurance to cover our ever-increasing insurance costs 16. ISO Following the last Council meeting, I called ISO, the Insurance Service Office, in San Francisco and requested from them more specific details as to our proposed regrading from a Class V to a Class VII protection. In speaking with the business manager, he gave me some data indicating that our Water Supply Rating had risen from roughly 1255 in 1974 to 1597 deficiency points on the August 1976 inspection. Our Fire nepartment rating actually dropped from 1041 to 1021 deficiency points. I did not pursue the other categories at that time. I am supposed to have received already a letter from ISO relative to the bringing on line of a 1200 gpm well and what it would do to our fire rating and also an evaluation of establishing a 3000 gallon reservoir. Once we receive this information, It will obviously enable us to present a position to the Council for resolution of the threatened loss of rating. 17. C112M Hill Initial Work for the Sewage Grant Application There will be a meeting next week in Anchorage between EPA, State, our consultant and our Director of Public Works to try to work out a consensus as to how we should actually develop the grant application. Hopefully, this will enable us to have some further data available for the US Attorney's visit on the 23rd of this month relative to our alleged non-compliance with EPA rules and regulations.
