KENAI CITY COUNCIL, REGULAR MEETING, SEPTEMBER 1, 1976
C . PERSONS PRESENT SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD
C-1: Mr. James E . Fisher - Kenai Jail Facility
PAGE 2
Mr. Fisher came before Council to request the Council's consideration in utilizing
the Kenai Jail Facility to better serve the residents of the Kenai Peninsula. Mr. Fisher
further advised that the facility could be leased to the Division of Corrections and
would, therefore, provide revenue to the City. Mr. Fisher reported that there was
no single jail on the Kenai Peninsula available for residents and members from our
community have to be incarcerated in the Anchorage jail facility. Conditions are very
poor in the Anchorage facility and being sent to Anchorage to serve out a sentence
can be very disruptive to the person's employment and family life. Mr. Fisher
urged the City to prepare a resolution to be sent to the State and "bird dog" the
matter until arrangements could be made for the Division of Corrections to lease
the Kenai facility. Mr. Fisher stated he had investigated the matter and feels there
are funds available for guard hire, etc. and that the Division of Corrections could
enter into an agreement with the City of Kenai.
Mayor Elson inquired as to the outcome of the Soldotna election -- Mr. Fisher advised
he felt that the Kenai facility would be used for theose individuals who had been
sentenced and the Soldotna facility for those placed under arrest (alcohol abusers,
etc . )
Mayor Elson stated that the City spent considerable time working out an agreement
with the Division of corrections last year and also felt that the Division of Corrections
would be reluctant to enter into another agreement as the facility was not used last
year.
Chief Richard Ross advised the Council that the Seward facility had recently
closed as they were faced with the same problems as Kenai -- the Seward facility
had been ordered to provide 24-hour guard service and they too do not have the
approximately $100,000 and the Division of Corrections found those figures quite
unacceptable as for as reimbursement to the City. Chief Ross further stated that if
the Division of Corrections approached the City to lease the facility for a nominal fee
and they would assume all other responsibilities (guard, liability, etc.) the City
might find this arrangement areeable. Councilman Morgan asked Chief Ross if he
felt that the City should make use of the facility, taking the cost factors into
consideration and Chief Ross replied that the cost factor, as in the case of the
Seward facility, did not appear to meet the Division of Correction's requirements
and also another factor to consider to that the Magistrate in Seward found the audio
surveillance not acceptable and that is all the City of Kenai has at this time.
Mr. Fisher stated that he was just requesting that the City urge the Division of
Corrections to lease the facility with the Division of Corrections assuming all
-I responsibility for manning, etc. Mayor Elson inquired from Chief Ross if the original
t
z
KENAI CITY COUNCIL, REGULAR MEETING, SEPTEMBER 1, 1976 PAGE 3
concept of the agreement made last year with the Division of Corrections was that they
would man the facility and assume all responsibility. Chief Ross advised that yes this
was part of the agreement.
Councilman Morgan suggested that the City Attorney be directed to draw up such a
resolution urging the Division of Corrections to enter into an agreement with the City
and this resolution be ready for presentation at the next regular meeting of the
Council. There were no objections to Councilman Morgan's suggestion.

KENAI CITY COUNCIL, REGULAR MEETING, SEPTEMBER 1,1976 PAGE b
Councilman Morgan stated he felt that if the project wore held over until next

enter into a contract with PR&S, General Contractors, for the construction of a 10"
water line along Forest Drive in the amount of $81,933, contingent upon receipt of

in the Woodland area? Mr. Aber stated he feels it would alleviate the problem and
would have to be done eventually. Councilman Morgan advised he had talked with
Ed Hollior of the State Highway Department and it was Mr. Hollier's opinion that
the project of paving might not be done until next construction season as the equipment,
materials, etc. had not even been brought down to Kenai.

Mr. Aber advised that because of many citizen requests, the City is trying to

purchase small signs to be posted in various points along the path.

the State should then place the signs along the trail. Councilman Ambarian also

path and disagreed with the fact that snow machines would not be allowed in the

the project was to be constructed as both a bicycle and pedestrian path. Chief

j to leasing this strip in front of their building for parking but were hesitant when
