several grievances with regard to her salary in that she has not received a

KENAI CITY COUNCIL, RSOULAR MEETING,JUNR 15, 1977 page 3
8-3., Ordinance No. 343-77 - getting Fees for Water/Rower Connections & Extensions
Mayor Elson read Ordinance No. 343-77 by title only. "An ordinance of the
Council of the City of Kenai setting fees for inspection of Water and Sewer
connections and extensions and amending certain other sections of the Code of
the City of Kenai."
Mayor Elson opened the hearing to the public.
Mr. John Williams - opposed Ordinance No. 343-77 in its entirety as the City
already charged excess fees for hook-up to the system and these additional
costs will be passed on to the home buyer.
Mrs. Lillian Hakkinen - Mrs. Hakkinen advised that she collects the fees
for water/sewer hook-up etc. for the City and some comments received by her
were negative to the high fees and in one Instance a local contractor had
advised he would encourage development and building outside the City,
Mr. John Williams - Mr. Williams further expressed his objection by stating
that the additional fees would only be another "stumbling block" for builders
which will mean a loss of development within the City of Kenai.
f{ ,
f There being no further comment, Mayor Elson returned the hearing to the
Council table.
Councilman Morgan stated that the Council has been trying to make the
water/sewer fund self-supporting. Therefore, if the City did not charge
tap fees, etc. the water/sewer fund would not be able to support various
repairs, etc. to the system -- the general taxpayer would have the burden
of the costs. Councilman Morgan further stated that when a City employee
is called out to make an inspection, the costs of this man's time should be
passed on to the contractor.
MOTION:
Councilman Morgan moved, seconded by Councilman Ambarian, for adoption
of Ordinance No. 343-77, setting fees for inspection of water and sewer
V connections and extensions and amending certain other sections of the Code.
Mayor Elson commented that the City had made considerable effort to put
the water/sewer fund on a self-sustaining basis, thus the reason for the
hook-up tees. Mayor Elson further explained that the intent in doing so
was so that the people who are not on the water/sewer system would not have
4 to pay for a service that they are not receiving nor benefitting from. Mayor Elson
stated that when inspections are required beyond the normal working day
=� of the City employee involved, the intent of the ordinance was to pass this
-_ - additional cost on to the user.

Councilman Ambarian stated that he would again vote no against the ordinance
due to the funding procedure.
Councilman Morgan inquired as to where the funds might come from and
Mayor Elson advised that the City could show a defiet in the Water/Sewer

C. PERSONS PRESENT SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD
C-1: Members, Kenai Fire Department
Richard McCrady, representing members of the Kenai Fire Department,
advised Council that his group felt they were not being compensated in
accordance with their assigned duties and also felt their salary structure
should be more compatible with those of the Police Department. The
members of the Fire Department would, therefore, request the following
changes be considered in the proposed Classification Plan and Pay Plan:
Change a Fire Captain's grade to 17, a Fire Engineer to 15, and a Fire
Fighter to 14. Also, Mr. McGrady requested consideration to amend
Section B to include a one (1) hour call out time minimum for the Fire
Department.

KE:HAI CITY COUNCIL, REGULAR MHETING, JUNE, 15, 1977
Page 8
Mr. Wise advised that according to the new personnel ordinance, overtime
would be time and a half for regular work days and double time for all
holidays.
Councilman Morgan stated he could see the reasoning for a minimum one
hour call out time and would like to see additional staffing in the Fire
Department, however, the City cannot afford the additional staffing at this
time. Councilman Morgan suggested that the City work diligently on building
up the volunteer fire department.
Mayor Elson stated that he felt the Fire Department personnel had brought out
some very viable grievances which the Council did realize existed. However,
the procedure now would be for Administration to make their recommendations
to Council and address the situation at that time.
C-2: C. R. Baldwin representing Copper Valley Machine Works, Inc.
Mr. Baldwin came before Council on behalf of his client, Copper Valley
Machine Works, Inc., to request further Council consideration on their
proposal for a long-term lease of the City Dock and adjacent lands before
Council made a final commitment. Mr. Baldwin advised that his client
proposed to construct facilities which would provide for increased transpor-
tation services to the public, a marine repair facility for the public, docking
and wharfage facilities for the public, and warehousing facilities for the public.
Council was advised that Mr. Tom Waterer, representing Salamatof Seafoods
was also on the agenda and Mr. Waterer would speak in behalf of his
proposal to lease the facility.
C-3: Kenai Realtors
Mrs. hail Glad, representing real estate brokers in Kenai, proposed
that Council consider their handling of brokerage of City owned lands.
Mrs. Glad submitted a proposal covering six points that they felt necessary
to negotiating terms with the City. 1) Brokerage fees would be 10% of the
sale price for fee simple land and 10% of the first year or 5% of the first
5 years of a lease. 2) Treatment of the listings would be as any other
client with regards to advertising, promotion, etc. 3) Prospective lessors
post a performance deposit in -lieu of the return of title within a year as part
of the lease. The amount of deposit and length of time would depend on
the type and size of the project. 4) The broker, in putting together a sale
or lease would have full authority, within the zoning of the City, to work
out details with the builders or developers. 5) It is recommended that
the City actively pursue the release of lands for fee simple sale rather than
lease other than lands contiguous to the airport. 6) Listing to be to
brokers within the City of Kenai. However, all City brokers are to co-
40 broker with out-of-town brokers.

KENAI CITY COUNCIL, REGULAR MEETING, JUNE 16, 1977 Page 9
Councilman Morgan stated he did feel that the City should not be in the land
business. Mayor Elson asked if Council objected to referring this matter to
the Planning a Zoning Commission for their comments -- there was no objection.
C-4: Kenai Chamber of Commerce
Mr. Jim Payne, President of the Kenai Chamber of Commerce, spoke in
support of the realtor's proposal. Mr. Payne also suggested that the
brokerage of City owned lands also be opened to Soldotna realtors as well
as Anchorage realtors. Mr. Payne further stated he felt there was a need
for some type of incentive for the professionals in the real estate business
to "sell/lease" the City owned lands to prospective builders and developers.
C-S: Tom Waterer - Salamatof Seafoods
Mr. Waterer stated that his firm had a specific proposal and he was vitally
concerned that they be granted access to the facility as soon as possible.
Mr. Waterer further stated that there might be better deep water facilities
available for purposes as outlined in the other proposal. Mr. Waterer
did state that his firm would give serious consideration to the additional
benefits derived from other uses of the facility in the very near future.
At this time, Ordinance No. 336-77(A) was brought back to the table for
consideration.
MOTION:
Councilman Morgan moved, seconded by Councilman Whelan, to amend
Ordinance No. 336-77(A) by raising the Fire Captain to Grade 17 and
Fire Engineer grade to 15.
Motion passed unanimously by roll tail vote.
MOTION:
Councilman Whelan moved, seconded by Councilman Sweet, to amend
Section 2, B-3, of Ordinance No. 336-77(A) to read that all classified
employees shall have an anniversary date of July lot.
Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote.
Council asked for clarification of the position in question in the Finance
Department and were advised by Ross Kinney, Finance Director, that
Council had determined in budget work sessions that the position would
be "held" until such time that the salary came back within classification and
pay plan. Mr. Wise suggested that the position be given a BB grade which
would make the position eligible for cost of living increase but not merit
increase.

KENAI CITY COUNCIL, REGULAR MHETINO, ,JUNH 15, 1977 Page 10
MOTION:
Councilman Sweet moved, seconded by Councilwoman Oliek, to amend
Ordinance No. 338-77(A) to include that no City employee not be eligible
for cost of living raise and that no City employee not be eligible for consideration
of merit increases.
Mayor Elson stated he felt this amendment would destroy the entire concept
of the pay plan. Councilman Sweet stated he felt that no employee should be
discriminated against with regard to a cost -of -living increase and if an
employee is doing a good job, they should be eligible for a merit increase,
Councilman Ambarian stated that Council, in the past, had tried to
equalize the salaries and pay the employees for the job their were performing.
Mayor Elson stated that there has never boom a question of the loyalty and
the integrity of the employee's work performance. The problem that did
arise, Mayor Elson further reported, was that two years ago it was
determined that each position had a certain value and at that time the
employee's in question salary exceeded that set value.
Councilman Whelan stated he felt that Council could not destroy the
pay plan, however, this situation did demand immediate attentimi from
Council and a workabio solution.
Councilman Sweet withdrew his motion.
MOTION:
Councilman Sweet moved, seconded by Councilwoman Glick, to amend
Ordinance No. 338-77 (A) to make the following positions: 204 -

$20,000,

Councilman Whelan reaffirmed that the duties of the City Clerk have
changed and it is no longer a clerical position, Councilman Whelan
further stated in his findings, other clerk positions in the Borough
with smaller populations than Kenai justify the reasonsing for the increase
in the Clerk's salary. Councilman Sweet stated that he was violently
opposed to any tenure being taken into consideration and felt that
proposed salary range of $18,600 provided for a raise in excess or higher
than the normal cost of living and merit increase given overall.
