MOTION: Councilman Ambarian moved, seconded by Councilwoman Glick, for introduction of Ordinance No. 337-77, establishing a working capital reserve and a reserve for capital improvements in the General Fund to be funded by 1% of the consumer sales tax. Councilman Morgan stated that he felt this method would also contribute to the public's bad feelings against the City and the Council. Councilman Morgan further stated that he felt it might be better to set aside a designated percentage from the General Fund into a special fund rather than funding this reserve with the sales tax. Councilman Sweet stated that he felt it was necessary to set aside funds to finance assessment districts, etc., however, he was opposed to ine permanent fund concept establishing surplus uncommitted tax monies for the purchase of equipment. Councilman Sweet further stated that he felt funding should be done based on current needs and that each Council should face the individual needs as they arise and tax the people accordingly. r� KENAI CITY COUNCIL, REGULAR MEETING OF MAY 18, 1977 Page 4 Finance Director, Ross Kinney, stated that he felt that the present Council should recognize present and future needs and prepare for funding of such needs.

MOTION: Councilman Ambarian moved, seconded by Councilman Ackerly, , for introduction of Ordinance No. 338-77, providing that the question of dedicating certain bond funds for various projects be submitted to the qualified voters of the City of Kenai and amending such ordinance as follows: Deleting all references contained herein to "water and sewer improvements" and deleting all of Section 3-8 as well as the following amounts to be included in the ordinance: $125,000 Street Improvements; $34,583 to Recreational Facilities; and $175,000 to purchase of replacement capital operating equipment. Councilman Ambarian advised that he felt the ordinance, as amended, would be of more benefit to a greater share of the people. Councilman Morgan stated that he disagreed with the omission of water and sewer improvements in that the failure of the election now put the burden back on the City and it was Councilman Morgan's feeling that water and sewer cannot carry itself without additional funding. Councilman Ambarian stated he felt that the water/sewer fund should carry them- selves and that the General Fund was already paying for water and sewer Improve- ments. Councilman Morgan commented that the City should be buying equipment every year and did not feel $175,000 was the proper figure to be set aside. MOTION: Councilman Morgan moved, to amend the main motion to reinstate all references to water and sewer improvements and implementing the following figures into the ordinance: $100,000 Street Improvements; $100,000 Water a Sewer Improvements; $34,583 Recreational Facilities; and $100,000 to purchase of replacement operating capital equipment. ,' Motion died for lack of second.

Councilman Ambarian stated he would oppose this amendment for funds dedicated to the reservoir in that the City had waited too long and construction costs, etc. had risen so greatly that $100,000 would not be sufficient to start construction. Councilman Ambarian further stated that he felt the funds should be utilized now and any further delays would just lessen the capabilities of the funds. QUESTION: i i Motion failed by tie vote.

Peter, City Clark 4F CITY ON KENAI CITY MANAGER'S REPORT #17 1. Canvass of Ballots This will be the first item of business to canvass for the Special Election hold on Tuesday, May 17th relative to a Charter amendment. 2, Kenai Volunteer Fire Department It if; my understanding that the Volunteers will ask for permission to sponsor a circus to raise funds for the Volunteer section of the Fire Department. Additional data will be provided during the presentation by the Volunteer Fire Department as "Persons Present". 3. Ordinance Ono ordinance we have for presentation will be the ordinance requested by the Council for reallocation of funds from the Civic Center. We have provided for four areas of allocation, however, we have loft the amount blank subject to Council discussion and determination. It should also be noted that the proposition can have provisoes for four individual votes where the voters may approve the transfer of funds in the stated amount to each of these specific projects. This may mean that a certain part of the proposition could fail and leave funds within tho Civic Cantor complex allocation. It may be more advisable to simply have one vote, as the ordinance now stands, on the entire 4-part question. But this is, naturally, a Council decision. 4. Budget Ordinance This will be presented to the Council in basic format. However, with the figures as provided are subject to amendment at the final hearing and decision by the Council on the 1st of Juno, S. Working Capital Reserve Ordinance We are asking for introduction of an ordinance to establish a working capital reserve in the Capital improvements Fund, This will be designated as part of the fiscal procedures section of the City Code and will call for that "so called" third percent of the sales tax, which is now dedicated to the deficit, to be applied to establishing a $250,000 working capital reserve, And, on reaching that fund level , then the receipts from that sales tax would go to a capital improvement fund. IlrrlNfiri�iMwrir�ruYii _. 0 CITY MANAGER REPORT #17, Page Two �! S. Ordinance dedicating land sal receipts We are asking for introduction of an ordinance dedicating land sale reoeipts to a capital improvement fund. This, again, is prepared as a part of a fiscal procedures ordinance and was requested by the Mayor. 7. Ordinance amending Ord. 99-88 We are asking for introduction of an ordinance revising Ordinance 99-88 and rescinding of Ordinances 132-88 and 213-73 which relate to the airport and specifically the Terminal and HUD bonds that finance the Terminal. We are asking for appropriate amendments to create an "Airport System". Initially, it would be an Airport Terminal Fund as currently provided by Ordinance 99 however, this would combine all other receipt6 into an Airport Systems Fund and provide the funds for the M&O, Land Fund and Administrative activities on the airport. S. Resolution setting part-time temporary salary scales This is a resolution setting part-time temporary employee wages - hourly scale. 9. Resolution requesting transfer of fund This resolution requests transfer of Shop Funds from an operation line to a repair and maintenance lino. This is to provide for purchase of parts so that we can keep the equipment operating during the summer months. 10. Resolution providing basic lease rates This resolution provides for basic lease rates in the Kenai Airport Terminal. I prepared this so that we can commence action on the negotiations with our tenants and got those documents executed as soon as possible and, therefore, provide for immediate receipt of appropriate billings. I would like to note here that Doug Haynes from AAI was down this week and they will lease all of the cargo space behind the baggage counter that is available, That means with the movement of the City offices to the other side of the Terminal, all that space will be completely leased and the only unleased space we would have, of course, is where the City offices currently are now. However, I have already arranged to lease or have a request to lease the Department of Public Works office. CITY MANAGER REPORT #17. Page Three 11. Resolution - Rezoning This resolution is requesting the Borough to rezone the well site area which is immediately adjacent to the Elks Club. This is the area that runs from the Elks Club to the Spur and east to the Katmai and the Aeaver Loop Road as well as that portion of that same drainage shed south actually to the River. The reason I am asking for this is we have had inquiries for that well site land and I would prefer to have the entire area inasmuch as it is City land rezoned commercial and then as we have actual requests, we can plat out that which we feel is logically buildable and protect, through platting, - those lands which we feel should be saved for environmental reasons but regrettably unless we rezone the entire area we would first have to roplat before ' we rezone and I would prefer not to plat now until we have actual applications for lease of the land. 12. Airport Master Plan Consultants On Thursday evening. May 12th, the Airport Master Plan Consultants will meet with the Airport Advisory Committee in the Public Safety Building at 7:30 p.m. Hopefully, they will provide a form for additional input from the people who actually use the airport and some concept of the various plans they have under consideration. 13. Department of Agriculture I have made an inquiry with the Department of Agriculture's Soil Conservation group as to a study to provide a drainage plan for lands north Of the Spur Highway and east of the airport. I have the feeling that if we could provide for appropriate drainage we would relieve a lot of our ground water problems, the flooding we have had in the basements and the drainage problems we have had being caused by break-up. I have no target date on when they will come down and give us some information and perhaps assistance. f But -- now is the time to start. 14. Coastal Zone Management Work Shop I would like to remind you there is a Coastal Zone Management Work Shop at 7:30 in the Borough Assembly Meeting Room, Friday, May 13th. This is particularly important because the federal legislation has been enacted and j the House Bill 342 has passed the House and is before the Senate and I believe -- that this Bill will be enacted before this session closes. + r 0 I, U M� i I CITY MANAGER REPORT #17, Page hour r � 16. Lease of Cafe and liar In regard to the possible lease of the cafe and bar, there will be a presentation by a Mr. Cliff Ponnol Monday evening at the work session aR to his plans and desires to lease the cafe and bar and the Council will have an opportunity to diseuou it with him at that time. 16. Department of Public Works DPW is trying to obtain quotations from a number of engineers as to the actual design work that you have authorized for various roads, water and sewer lines, etc. If we have enough quotes, we will ask that this be added j to the agenda so that we can get a contract awarded. Every day we lose means that further delays occur and our capability of doing anything this summer. ' 17. of note, it is interesting to know that I had, today, two inquiries as to ' assessment districts. One is specifically in relation to roads and the other in i J relation to putting in water and sewer.

The street crew has also been patching streets, working on street signs, and doing some very needed work in the City's equipment yard.
