With regard to the reassessment districts, the following individuals came before
Council:
Mrs. Janis Bell - stated that she felt the first payments should not be due until April 1,
1977 as this would cause a hardship for several people Involved.
Darby Howell - not present
Robert Jackson - stated he still protested the formula used in the calculation of the
assessments and also advised the Council that the Kenai Property Owners Association
had not yet determined if the reassessments would be acceptable or not.
Mrs. Ardelle Pace - Mrs. Pace also stated that she felt the first payment should be
due April 1, 1977 as it took the City so long to make the adjustments.
David Thornton - Mr. Thornton protested the approval of Water Improvement
District No. 8 and Sewer Improvement District 73-S2 and also stated he would
protest the fact that he would have to make four payments in one lump sum and
also to making delinquent payments -- Mr.Thornton requested that the first payment
be due April 1, 1977.
As it was relevant to the matter at hand, Councilman Morgan requested that Item
G-14: Resoluton 78-101, amending certain resolutions regarding annual installments
and foreclosed properties be brought before the Council at this time. There was
no objection from other members of Council.
Mayor Elson read Resolution 76-IM by title only. "A resolution of the Council of
the City of Kenai, Alaska, amending resolutions 76-81, 76-82, 76-83, 76-84, 76-88,
76-86 and 76-07 with regard to penalty for late payment of annual installments and
setting policy on foreclosures against benefitted property."
Ross Kinney, Finance Director, advised that this resolution proposed to waive
penalty on all installments due prior to April 1, 1978 and the payment period would
be April 1, 1974 to April 1, 1983. Foreclosures could be brought against property
whose 1974 and 1976 installment payments have not been made subsequent to April 1, 1977
and no foreclosure proceedings would be brought against benefitted property with
regard to those payments due April 1, 1076, 1977 and 1978 until after April 1, 1978.
Councilman Morgan stated that perhaps some leniency could be shown so not to
cause a hardship to the individuals involved -- such as having the first installment
due April 1, 1977 and run the district until Apra, 1986 imposing penalties, etc .
Mr. Kinney stated he felt that this would not be a just way to handle the matter as
some individuals have already paid.

Administration and Finance
I.
Public Hearings
There are three ordinances before the Council for public hearings:
297-76/77 (c) and a Recessionary Funds Ordinance 321-76 and 322-76.
All are included in this packet and all are self-explanatory, I believe.
2.
Liquor License/larry's Club
We have a liquor license on Larry's Club on which taxes are current
and there are no problems as far as the Police Department is concerned.
3.
Gemes of Chance/Snowshoe (ant Club
The City has no problems with this.

An ordinance to provide funds from the general fund to fully fund
the small boat harbor and reduce that deficit that shows up in the
June 30, 1976 audit.
S.

This again is to fund up a deficit, applying general funds balances
to fund up the deficit.
6.
Resolution - Bond Issue
This is a resolution to appr to funds from the 1974 refurcdit�g
bond issue in the amount of 8 ,000.00 to do exploratory work on
City lands to determine whether or not we have economic feasibility
of establishing City -coned gravel pits. This was discussed at the
work session on December 9, 1976.
7.
Resolution - Senior Citizens Food Service Program
This resolution is for the awarding of a contract for the Senior
Citizens Food Service Program. Bids will be received on the 13th
of December, analyzed and presented to Council for the meeting

hopefully, to be an effective program as of that time.

8. Resolution - Well Project
This is a change order to provide for additional ductal iron pipe
to correct a bad angle on the ipe system to the south of the runway
the The mK=t of originally
of airport. pipe planned created a
very undesirable angle and therefore, additional pipe would lessen
the angle of the pipe and provide for a safer flaw of water.
9. Resolution - Waive Penalties
This is a resolution discussed immediately following the Special
Council meeting on the 9th of December in which Councilman Morgan
requested a resolution be drafted to waive penalty for the additional
year; that is, until April 1978. It was also discussed that this would
have an effect on foreclosure action but would not necessarily bar
--
foreclosure and we are proposing to add, as a part of that resolution,
a requirement wi�ere the Cot=il review all eligible foreclosure
actions resulting from this assessment district, wherein the Council
could deterniine whether or not a valid hardship exists in foreclosure
action should be deferred at that time for non-payment of assessments.
10. Resolution - Well Transmission Line
t ,
'
This is a resolution to transfer the amount of monies required
for Change Orders 1,2,and 3 on the Well Transmission Line Project
from contingency to construction. This is a housekeeping resolution.
11. Lease/Terminal Space {
This is a lease for airport terminal space to Kenai Terminal
Enterprises; the cafe, bar and gift shop areas.
12. Lease/City Lend .
This is a lease on undeveloped land to Sealand Corporation which
is adjacent to their operational building on Trading Bay Road.
13. Resolution - ADAP Raids
This is a resolution authorizing the City Manager to apply for a
Planning Grant from the State and Federal Government (FAA) for the
Airport Study. This resolution is prepared in the that we
data back from in �
will get the consultants time to this resolution
meaningful. It is desired by the Administration and by FAA, in
Anchorage, that we submit the p grant request as soon as
possible. If we have the data, it wail be on the table for you Wednesday

15. Resolution - Administrative Signatories
This is a resolution, requested by Councilman Whelan, to add an
administrative signature to our bank accounts and to provide for
an appropriate administrative and finance signature on each dis-
persement check made by the City. That is, the City Manager and
the Finance Director should be prime signatories; however, in
their respective absences, the City Clerk would sign for the City
Manager or Lillian Hakkinen would sign for the Finance Director.
In any event, there would be a requirement for both the administrative
and finance signatures.
16. Resolution - Water Well Project
This is a resolution to accept the increase in State monies for the
State Water Well Project. This is an increase in their Grant
authorization and will require us to meet their administrative and
finance signatures.
17. Resolution - Audit Reports
This is a resolution fining a fee for audit reports, inasmuch as
if we provide these on a no -fee basis or a no -cost basis, it will
simply mean an additional expense to the City which is mwarranted
at this time. The fee that we are requesting is nominal and will
barely cover the cost of preparation.
18. Resolution - Donmis MxWson
This is a resolution requested by the Mayor asking the Governor
to appoint Danunis Thompson to the University of Alaska Board of
Repents.
19. Montessori School
Though I have not yet received a letter from Mrs. Nichol from
the Montessori School, I hope that it will be available to the Council
later this afternoon and be included in the packet. If not, I hope
it will be made available to you prior to the meeting on the 15th.
I do not know, since we have not received the letter, just what
her proposition will be, but I believe that the Council should
discuss them and determine what action should be taken.
20. Legislative Delegation
As I have mentioned previously, the Legislative delegation from the
Kenai Peninsula will be in town on Wednesday, the 15th. In the
morning of the 15th, they will meet with orough Mayor Don Gilman; at
oon they will be at the chamber luncheon and following the luncheon,
will be available for the City administration and the City Council
for a meeting. You will be contacted as to the specific time that
they will be available to the City. If you have any items of
legislative interest that should be brought to their attention,
please notify the administration and we will try to make sure that
they are brought to their attention.

21. New Police Officer
With the resignation of Sergeant Carpenter, we had a vacancy on the
Police Department staff. Chief Ross has several applications for
the position that we properly advertised and has recommended, and
I have approved, the appointment of a new patrolman, Officer Reid.
Officer Reid is professionally qualified, having been in a variety
of police assignments. Regarding training, he has attended the
Oakland Police Academy, the Anchorage Police Academy and the Oregon
State Police Academy. I think that we are extremely lucky to obtain
a qualified police officer; one with better than six years experience
in the law enforcement field. He should make a good addition to our
farce.
22. New Building Permits
New building permits issued in the month of November were for two
residences and same other buildings with a total value of approximately
$180,000.00.
23. Meeting/Coastal Zone Management Bill
We have received the draft of the legislative committees Coastal
Zone Management Bill. It will be available within the City offices,
both for the Planning Commission and for the City Council. Mayor Gilman
has called a meeting for Thursday, December 16, 7:30 p.m. in the Borough
offices to meet with the various city mayors, managers and administrators
to discuss the impact of this bill on individual cities and on the
Borough as a whole.
24, Sports Complex
The City was approached the other day by a group of developers who
are interested in establishing a Sports Arena in the Greater Kenai
area. This is similar to the Sports Arena now in operation in
Anchorage. There was a discussion of possible sites and, an impressicai
that I received, of some assistance in financing or an equity position
by the City. I was later called by Frank Mcllhargy, who was
providing escort service to than, regarding possible time frames in
providing City lands for this use. It sounds like a very worthwhile
idea, inasmuch as it will provide a 2,000 seat auditorium with an
additional 2,000 portable seat addition. In addition to the seating
capacity, they plan a hockey rink, skating facility, bowlIn allay,
stage, restaurant, bar, handball courts and a variety of otiser th1mgs.
if you've been in Anchorav in the Sports Arena, it would presumably
by tim same type of structure. However, this is only an exploratory
casversation and, of course, no assurance that there will be a
commitment by the group to locate within the City.
25. Re-ming of FAA Lands
I have drafted a letter to Don Wilcox of the FAA, in Anchorage,
posing a number of questions; several in relation to the r:alellt
that sea are proposing on FAA lands on Beaver Loop Road. Jim Per ,
of the planning department of FAA, indicated that land north of the
-- •- -- - --7 _-
•
" CITY MANAGER'S R=RT - #7

of the Spur Highway may not be released by the FAA due to the planning
study proposed for the airport and airport lands. I have asked
for clarification on this by Mr. Wilcox, as to whether or not it will
absolutely prohibit our subdividing and moving property in that area.
I additionally asked questions relative to the Tager site, the fence
and the maintenance shed in the FAA reserve land south of the Spur
as to whether these are operational and will they be relocated. Also,
I asked what restrictions will be placed on the City by FAA.
Thirdly, I asked as to the availability of ADAP funds to be used as
matching funds to some bond monies that we have for terminal and
airport improvements as to whether we could have some action taken
to improve the airport access from the Spur, Willow Drive and perhaps
pave the access to the terminal itself.
26. Paving
I have prepared a letter which is now being mailed relative to
asking the property owners abutting the street which is apparently
a horror story between Willow and Carr's Shopping Center. These
owners are, of course, the Sheffield House, Union 76, National Bank _
of Alaska and Carr's, asking if they would contribute to upgrading
the road with appropriate paving, curbs, gutters and storm sewers.
I proposed this inawwh as the City is simply unable to provide „
the f0u4s to do the job. We have Raids neither to loan to an
assessment district or to provide direct cost for the project.

As of this moment, I expect that my wife will reach Seattle and be "
able to make the ferry tonight at 8:00 p.m. PST. Assuming this is
true, I will be leaving the City, Sunday at noon, joining my family
in Juneau an Monday and, that afternoon, start the drive from Haines
to Kenai. I doubt very much if we will be back by the 15th for the
Council meeting. If I am, I will attend the meeting. I'll see i
you next week.
