presented Council with a cost/data sheet on repair and maintenance of the system
caused by sewage dumping in relation to the revenues received in permits, etc.
Mr. Rornelis estimated that revenues to the ritv were approximately :95, 720
- compared to $17, 964 in costs to repair and maintain lift stations that receive
sewage from sewage dumping program. Mr. Kornelis advised that several violations
have been noted in that the dumpers are not applying for permits and recommended
that these violators be advised that if found in violation on any other occasion, the
City would revoke their dumping permit. Councilman Ambarian stated he felt that
the City was "skirting" the problem by allowing Borough -wide dumping in the City
as other cities in the area do not allow dumping into their aystems. Councilman
Whelan stated he agreed but felt that some solutions should be arrived at in order
to assist those citizens in the City that are not on the City's water/sewer system.
Councilman Malston suggested that perhaps it would be worthwhile to monitor the
---= dumping and move the dumping site to an area more accessible for monitoring (such
as the Willow Street site) . Mr. wise suggested that the Council set a 90 day period
and move the dumping site to the willow Street site and during this time the Ttorough
to be contacted to assist in resolving the situation -- perhaps the Rorough would
be willing to construct a holding tank to assist our system.

` the $8,000 which Council has appropriated for basic engineering
on the sewage project so that we can make the interim modifications.

OLD BUSINESS
3. Salamatoff Seafoods Lease
This item will be provided by the City Attorney.
4. Resolution No. 77-155
This resolution would transfer $25,079 in contingency to construction
in xhe water well project fund. This is to catch up with the change
orders that have been approved and is simply a bookkeeping entry.
' S. Resolution No. 77-157
This resolution amends the general fund budget, Public Works, to
provide for the purchase of a file cabinet. We are simply running
out of space in the Public Works files.
6. Resolution No. 77-158
This resolution is a transfer of funds from contingency to Public
Works, Professional Services. In discussing the bluff erosion
problem with CH2M Hill, Woodward Clyde was retained to do a study
on the problem and, while we were not talking about any additonal
funds at that time, we have an invoice from Woodward Clyde which
will appear later on the agenda. Therefore, we are asking for these
funds to be transferred so that we can pay that invoice.
7. Requests for Payment: Harold Galliett
One of these payments is for the water reservoir project and the
other is for the well project. Both are appropriate and in order.
It is noted, however, that the reservoir project invoice is a
substantial sum and it was basically,due to the redesign of the
Ifor the tank. From all appearances.of the bid award made
last week, I think you will agree that the savings in doing the
redesign were worthwhile.

Requests for Payment: CH2M Hill
This item contains three invoices from CH2M Hill for the I and I
Study, Facilities Plan and the.Smoke Testing, All appear to
be in order.
9. Ratification of Telephone Poll: Extension of ACI's Opening Date
10. Request for Payment: Woodward -Clyde Consultants
This item was mentioned earlier and requests payment for the study
conducted by Woodward -Clyde on the bluff erosion problem.
11. Resolution No. 77-162
This resolution petitions the Borough to select State lands, in
Iarticular the northeast quarter of Section 29 which abutts the
rport, to give us some assurance that the land will be available
in the event there is a requirement to extend either from the
runway or the float plane basin.
12, Resolution No. 77-161
This resolution petitions the Borough to meet with &he State relative
to Section 36 education lands to encourage them to affect a trade so
that those lands can be made available for public sale.
13. Ambulance Grant
We have been informed that the grant was approved in the amount of
$10 000 and had been preparing to receive the grant offer this
wo;i, further appropriate additional funds and approve the award of
contract. However, there has been a hangup within the State and
apparently the letter is still on the Commissioner's desk relative
to the grant. I believe we have it straightened out and should be
receiving the grant and should be able to accept it at the next
meeting and proceed with purchasing a new ambulance.
14, Population Data
The State has used the Department of Education figures and certified
for the City a population of 5,364, This appears to be better than
what we could come up with relative to our old formula as to electrical
meters. Regretably, it is a drop of approximately 450, but is still
150 higher than last year's allocation.
15, LPW Protects: Request for Waiver
I have submitted to EDA waivers for the 90 day construction requirement
on two of our LPW Pro ects: the streets improvement project (which
we have not received ids on as yet) and the reservoir project. I
will submit a request for delay on the water and sewer lines the first
of this week. I understand that the frost has penetrated so much
that it would be fruitless to expect meaningful on -site labor.- The.
reason for these requests is to provide legitimacy on not doing
s

an on these particular projects due to the weather. We will,
however, do as much as is rational to insure that we qualify for
proper status on all three projects. We want to point out that our
actual excavating work is going to be extremely limited during the
winter months.
16. Meetine of Kenai Community Development Corporation
I attended the stock holders meeting of.0hich I was proxy to
represent the City's 20,000 shares. During the meeting it became
apparent that the book value of the corporation is approximately
$1.60 per share and there are some 80,000 shares outstanding of
which the City holds 20,000. There was an initial proposal to
redeem shares as tendered at $.25 per share. This was objected
to in that it would buy out those who wanted to get out at a
reduced cost and increase the absence of those remaining share
holders and was defeated. There was also an agreement to declare
a dividend authorized by the stock holders meeting at $.15 and $.25
per share, depending upon the financial status of the meeting in
early December. Presumably, the City will receive from its 20,000,
shares a minimum of $3,000 and perhaps $5,000.
17. Smoke Testing - Storm Drain Response
To date, only approximately one-half of the properties that we sent
letters to relative to draining into the sanitary sewer system have
responded. We need to follow up on this with some type of requirement
to give us response. I would suggest that we consider notifying
those delinquent parties that, in the event we do not get a response,
we will consider naming them as a third party defendant to the
EPA suit. This should activate their interest in coming up with
some type of answer as to what the nature of their particular problem
is.
18. New Lobby Seating
I would like to report that on Wednesday, November 30, we received
the new seating for the terminal. They are broken down into various
components. Krueger will be coming to Kenai on Thursday to install
that, by which time we will have removed all the old seating.
