Council directed the City Manager to use the Recreation Department maintenance personnel in doing some clean-up work at the cemetery. Councilman Morgan inquired as to the situation on the bluff erosion and its relation to the sewer system as reported to the local newspaper by the former Public Works Director. Mr. Wise advised that he had not heard of a direct relation between the sewer line and the erosion problem until he read the newspaper article. Councilwoman Glick reported to Council that River Bend Sand and Gravel were draining their gravel pit and great amounts of water were draining on to the property owners land across the road. Councilwoman Glick reported that the culvert was not adequate and further stated that the private property owners in the area were having difficulties with their sewer systems and their lands were being damaged to a point where it was affecting the value of the property. Councilwoman Glick stated it was her opinion that the Council make some provision to protect these private property owners. Mr. Wise advised that River Bend Sand and Gravel did submit their develop- ment plan to the Planning Commission, which included the drainage, and the plan had been accepted. Councilwoman Glick stated that she did not feel that the Planning and Zoning Commission realized the great amount of water that would be flowing. Mayor Elson stated that River Bend Sand and Gravel were to only excavate to their water table. Councilman Ambarian stated that the City had required excavation would not exceed the water table and Mr. Borgen had agreed (see Planning 4 Zoning Minutes dated May 12, 1976). Mr. Lofstedt, an adjoining property owner, advised Council that the draining onto his land was creating a swamp and also the gravel pit was visible from the roadway and he was under the impression that the excavators were to leave a natural tree screen. Mr. Lofstedt requested that Council take immediate action and suggested that the pit could be drained to the east into the natural creek bed. Mayor Bison stated that Administration should investigate the matter immediately and determine if River Bend Sand a Gravel had violated their extraction of natural resources permit and if so, advise River Bend Sand s Gravel that their permit is going to be revoked immediately and order Mr. Borgen to stop development. Administration was directed to proceed and bring the matter back to Council at their next regular meeting.

A public hearing on Ordinance No. 353-77, appropriating t,omv $22,CUQ in suit i.••recessionary funds for use within tho biro Uopartmont:. Those funds will be utilized for salary adjustmonts within ishc department and to defray the additional overtime costs. 2. Ted Cnr5on is listed on the agenda as "Persons Scheduled to be Board". There is a letter in the packet oxplaining his presentation, asking for a chango from a 55 year to a 99 year lease for Yoshi and Ruth Shiohiru. I would like to comment that, in the event the Council does agree to such a change in lease, we assure that the lease rate is either updated to current appraised values or that the five year period for redetermination of lease rate is adjusted to not waive our renegotiation rights in the relatively near future. S. Under "Old Business" is the payment estimate for Brown Construction Company relative to work on the L'DA waterline. I bolivvo that with the waivers requested by property owners relative to restoration of the existing site for permission to tap the waterline, this issue has boon resolved and Brown's payment: is in order. 4. "Now Business" contain!,, two ordinances relative to financial disclosure requested by the Council and prepared by the City Attorney. 51 hope to have two ordinances introduced on assessment districts. One for the P13Os-in the General Aviation Apron lots and the other for Redoubt Way. I prefer to use an ordinance, oven though it is not required, to clearly establish the forma- tion of the district. Please note that the hearing date will be sometime in the future as provided by the City Code. However, I believe this will, clean up the formation of an assessment district. b. Introduction of an ordinance transferring certain funds from contingency to the terminal to provide for alterations within the terminal for the hopefully agreod-upon now lessee of the cafe and lounge and for the relocation of the City offices to the other and of the terminal. I fool that the suwn requested is well in excess of our needy; however, it gives us some ,flexibility. We will only proceed with necessary expenses on the office relocation. I � i •. i 1 I 0 i y aciat;c r :; c prrt I1• July tt, 1977 1'ago 2 7. We have a rvaol ut. ion rolat.1vo to roads; and grails which r'oscinds the previous resolution on roads and t:ralis and allocates the federal 1,1111 monies, the reads and trallsc monies n and the City share of the ontiro project. The appondi"cos listed in the rouoiuti.on are not now available and 1 ruu waiting for onginooring data from Wince-Corthell. We will sittach it when we forward the re solution to the State. I have boon in contact: with the State and they have no objections to the project as proposed. 8. A ro.solut:ion asking for transfer of funds within the Sowago Treatment Plant to provide for purchase of a chlorinator unit which will onablo us to properly process the waste that is being t•roatod within tlse plant. 0. Bids for Police Ilopartmont cleaning. I will ask for a resolution at this time to reject the bids received. I fool that there was a misconception in that we arcked for once a week cloaning and I believe the bids rospondoci with a daily cleaning. Thorofore, I believe they are far in oxeoss of what we were expecting and, therefore, unreasonable. 10. We have a series of losses for approval. Lease of space in the terminal for Hertz (tout -a -Car, the loaso with the bonus bid to Andy's Plying Service ,for the lot within the General Aviation Apron ana a lease to Brian and Nancy Pock for concession lots.' All appear to be in order. il. We had a request this; week for sale of City land adjacent to the accost; road to the boat ramp. This item will be placed on the agenda of the Planning Commission for the next mooting and following their approvalwill be forwarded to the Council.. It is intorosti.ng inasmuch as it would be the first development in that area and, since this is City land, it would be subject to appropriate sale if so agrood upon. 12. We have a proposal from "The Telephone Company", a private tolophono firm, for providing a tolophone system for the City, both in the terminal and in the public safety building. This would involve the City in making a purchase arrangement for some $7,000 for equipment and annual maintenance contracts. The intorconnoct charges to the telephone company, Glacier State, would remain essentially the same and, of course, toll charges would be billed to the City. There are some interesting aspects to the proposal. lidwover, there are some problems in service and in possible difficulties between this firm and Glacier State. The synopsis of the roposal will be submitted to the Council Wednesday night and Floppoful.ly we will have some comments from Glacier State to add at tisat time.

They had rectnimunuled that: $15090()0 he authorized within thu budget. however, :since this; budget is; it Line i.tom and wto; osnitt:ed, there ls; no pos;s;Jbl]i.ty of tiny action this; fls;cal your. 14. 1 will, a.sume tonsporary control of, the Aopnrtment of Public Works; until I sun able to locate it roplacomunt, for our departing ])hector. Ilopofully, we can fill the po:;itios; within 30 to 45 days. My basis; for operation will be to have each Individual suporvisor of the Shop, Strecst Uepartsnunt and Natter and Sower Dopartn;ont become nsoro lnvolvod in individual activity planning. I fool that we caul moot tho lnunodiate noods; of the City until we can obtain a now Director, IS. I plan on authorizing the ongineori ng, of Redoubt Way and of the driveway terminal loop by Winco-Cortheli as an add -on to the initial resolution that the Council adopted recently. The reason for this is; that we nood the ongincur .ing on Redoubt •VJay so we can proceed with our LPIV program. The reason for doing terminal loop unginoering sit thln time It; a possibility that the Borough will. allocate .;osno funds; to the City by ondorsoment. Tho project I would anticipate being submitted in tinso would be tormi,nal loop . I feel that theso are viable projects and would be Wort1while to the City. 16. V10 know that the Seattle offico of fiUA has roceivod our application. I have also been informed h7 tho State that they havo roccived our application for share snonior, for the rosorvoi.r pro11opuful. ect. It appears to bo subject to immediate approval, I am that we will rocoivo almost turnaround approval of the LPIV Grant application from Seattle. If we do, I will request that you add to the agonda authorization for rocoipt of bid at the coming moeting.and, of course, resolution, to recolvo tho graut offers from PWA and the State. In the event that they arc not rocoivod in time for the livust 3rd meeting, I foal that it is imporativo to prepare the Council for a special meeting so that we can act on thoso spocific items, I fool that it is possiblo that we can havo the bids received in very oarly Soptembor and porhaps award it shortly after rocoipt. Thera is a chance that the reservoir could be completed this year. I do not fool that we would be jeopardizing the project y moving :swiftly on it inasmuch as the documentation has basically bean prepared and is currently being updated by Mr. Galliett,
