F. OLD BUSINESS
�j F-1: Statement/Q. S. Best - Survey a Plat of City Owned Lands
City Manager Wise reported that he had reviewed prior records and concluded that
this billing was the responsibility of Mr. O'Connell and Mr. Ackerly, prospective
lessee's of the subject land, and, therefore, recommended that Council not approve
payment of bill.
Councilman Ambarian stated that it was his opinion that the main question from Council
at the last meeting was as to what time did Council authorize approval for Mr. Rest
to proceed with the survey. Mr. Patrick O'Connell received Council concurrence to
speak on the matter and advised that he did contact Mr. Rest but did not give go-ahead
for him to proceed with the work as Mr. O'Connell stated that the subject lease had
not been committed to him and he would, therefore, not wish to pay for the survey, etc.

Councilman Sweet moved, seconded by Councilman Ambarian, that the City pay
G. S. Best in the amount of $2,375 for professional services rendered in the
surveying and platting of City owned lands.

the City without apparent authorization, therefore, it would appear that the Council
hear from Mr. Best directly as to the circumstances surrounding the situation.
MOTION:
Councilman Whelan moved, seconded by Councilman Sweet, to table payment to
0. S. Best in the amount of $2,375, for surveying and platting of City owned lands
and further required that Mr. Best appear before Council at the next regular meeting.
Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote.

inception date of his lease to March 1, 1978 as problems arose as to the placement of
the City sewer system and the contractor had to return to the design table.
MOTION:

request as stated in his letter of November 28, 1977, to extend his lease inception date
to March 1, 1978.

I. PERSONS PRESENT NOT SCHEDULED TO BF HEARD

I-1: Former Mayor James A. Elson - Mr. Elson reminded Council of the old concept in which

H
CITY MANAGER'S REPORT N31
(December 21, 1977)
1. Application for Restaurant License - Italian Gardens
There are population and zoning requirements in this item. The population
data, as I understand it, is one restaurant for every 1,500 people and since
we have only one other restaurant license, there is no problem in this area.
The restaurant is located in a commercial zone, the use is in accordance with
the zoning requirements.
2. Persons Present Scheduled to be Heard
The Cook Inlet Housing Authority is scheduled under this item. 1 believe
they will encourage Council's support for low and moderate income housing in
this area. The data which they were to provide us with has not arrived and I
assume that it will be presented to the Council on Wednesday night.
3. Salamatoff Seafoods Lease
This item is still in the hands of the Attorney and I am not certain of the
status. I am sure that she will report on this at the meeting.
4. 0. S. Best Survey Charces
I have determined that the survey was actually authorized by the prospective
lessees. It is clearly indicated as such in the Council minutes and the charges
should have been presented to them. I anticipate that the lessees will request,
upon consumation of the lease, that their payment for surveying be applied toward
their rent. As surveying is normally provided by the City, this may well be an
appropriate charge to the City.
5. Land Lease Policy Ordinance
I have drafted an ordinance relative to land lease policy. However, I
understand that it has to be modified to relate to existing policy that we
have on the books. The City Attorney has the proposed ordinance and will hopefully
have it available for the Council.
6. Sewaae Dumping Disposal - Amending Ordinance
This ordinance would amend the present ordinance on sewage dumping disposal
and provides for discontinuance of dumping as of March 8, 1978. At this time,
we have not provided for service to City residents who will presumably have a
•dumping problem. To enable us to have formal action indicating the will of the
Council, we have prepared the ordinance and expect that at the public hearing in
January we will be in a position to propose some amendments which will clarify
the support to those residents in the City not on the sewer system.
•
City Manager's Report Tjly---
Page 2
7. Tri_ -Party Agreement
oe� This is a resolution drafted for tri-party agreement by the Borough, City of
Soldotna and the City of Kenai relative to impact funds of the 1/8 royalty oil
refinery.
8. Revision of Xerox Copying Fees
As was pointed out recently to the Council, we charge one fee for simple
commercial type copying and no fee for an initial copy of City business. It
.appears that there should be a fee for copies of City business; however, a lower
rate for these City business copies may be warranted.
9. Change Order No. 12-IN
This change order is relative to the EDA water well project and provides
for a credit and some additional work. Actually, there is a net improvement to
the City.
10. Proposed Letter to Senator Stevens Relative to Sewage Treatment Plant
11. Modification of Sewage Treatment Plant
This is an ordinance appropriating $3,000 for the additional work verbally
authorized at the last Council meeting relative to the modification of the
Sewage Treatment Plant.
12. Transfer of Funds
This resolution would provide for the transfer of funds within the water and
sewer system for the purchase of portable heaters to give us some protection
against well freezing.
13. Ratification of Telephone Poll
This ratification is approval to proceed with the contract and notice to
proceed on the water storage tank.
14. Ratification of Telephone Poll
This ratification provides for approval to proceed with the contract and
notice to proceed on the water and sewer lines. Both are being reviewed by the
City Attorney and on their being approved as to form, the poll will be made.
15. Appropriation of Anti-recessionary Funds
We must take action on this item at this meeting due to the limitation by
law on the holding of these funds. We are asking for the appropriation of funds
for the purchase of operational supplies and it appears that we are severely
limited by the recent changes in the regulations pertaining to the use of these
monies. This appears to be the most logical and effective utilization of these
funds and fully consistent with the law.

16. Request for Formation of Assessment District
We have a letter requesting the formation of an assessment district by
Bill Quandt who is a majority owner of a part of Ahlstrom Subdivision located
between the bluff and the Spur Highway. It 1s interesting to note that
he 1s aware of the Charter limitation and asks that the limitation be waived.
I point out that this, of course, 1s a legal problem and while it may be
waivable in regard to Mr. Quandt's property, there is a question as to whether
1t can be waived in regard to the other property owners in the area. Therefore,
we will present the letter to the Council and the City Attorney will be asked
to comment on the viability of the Charter waiver.
17. Receipt of Bids - Uparading of Local Roads
This coming Monday, we will receive the bids for the several road projects -
the five roads being jointly supported by Local Service Roads and Trails monies
and the Airport Loop Paving project and upgrading of Redoubt Way. I have every
reason to believe that the bids will come in very adequately so that we can
proceed on this project. I will note that we have received the waiver on this
project from EDA so construction need not start until the 1st of May.
18. Submission of EDA Documentation
We are preparing to submit documentation to EDA as to the water and sewer
lines and the water storage tank projects. As I mentioned, we cannot proceed
with this until we get the contract signed and the notice to proceed issued, at
which time we will furnish all data to EDA and, hopefully, be in reasonably
good shape to proceed with the allocation of funds and be on the road to
actual construction.
19. Water Truck Tank
As you are aware, we have had problems with our water truck tank, which supplies
water particularly to areas in the City which are not served by public water.
As was mentioned by Councilman Ambarian, the truck is in poor condition and we
have been attempting to contact Alyeska regarding their disposal of a tank truck.
As of yet, we have had no real answer from them. However, in pursuing this, our
people have looked at a tank truck and trailer which are currently owned by
Jim Doyle. Since he has apparently lost his gas and oil delivery contract, he has
offered both items for sale as a package at $36,000. This includes the truck and
59200 gallon tank and a trailer with approximately 6,500 load capacity. I feel
that this should be discussed at the work session at 6:45 on the 21st.
20. Relocation df Powerline
I am exploring with HEA the possible cost and design of relocation of the
powerllne that runs from the Elks Lodge across Fidaigo Subdivision, crossing
Willow Street between Alaska Industrial Hardware and the new Church building.
and proceeding across the FAA reserve. We must move one power pole on Willow
Street due to the water and sewer line construction and, therefore, I'm asking
for their engineering as to properly relocating these lines and the cost to the
City, if any. As soon as I got the data, I will present it to the Council.
i 21. Platting
Hopefully, we will have the platting relative to the Ryan's Creek area of
the Old Well Site and also the olattino of the Area which Firat Fpdpral has aDDliod
for in the very near future. We have every reason to believe that Hugh
Malone will make them available prior to his departure to Juneau.
