OLD BUSINESS
F-1:
Janitorial Contract - Ft. Kenay, Terminal & portion of Public Safety Building
Mr. Lynn advised the Council that the low bidder who was working on the
Terminal Building had been terminated because of inadequate services. His
contract was cancelled as of November 14, 1975. The next low bidder, Alaska
Guard Service, had been contacted and had reached an agreement to provide
custodial services for Ft. Kenay, the police side of the Public Safety Building
and the Airport Terminal Building. The City had negotiated a contract in the
amount of$1,950 per month. Administration recommends approval of the contract.
Mr. John O'Connor, Finance Director, advised the Council that there were not
enough funds budgeted to cover the costs of janitorial service for all three
facilities but a transfer from the contingency fund in the amount of approximately
!..= • - - 17

F
KENAI CITY COUNCIL, REGULAR MEETING, N017FMBER 19, 1975 PAGE 4
$4,000 would be sufficient to balance the funding.
Mr. O'Connor further stated that the police side of the Public Safety
Building had had no custodial service and the police officers were coming in on
their days off to do the janitorial service. Also, Ft. Kenay was in need of
consistent service as the facilities were rented out to the public and not always
left in an orderly manner. Lack of janitorial services will cause a serious
deterioration of the facilities.
Councilman Morgan stated that he had received a call from an individual who
would like to do the janitorial work and asked Administration what the bidding
procedures had been on this particular matter? Mr. Lynn advised that the City
could go to bid again but this would take time and the City then would not have
continuity of service which creates a very difficult situation, particularly in the
Airport Terminal.
Councilman Ambarian stated that before the City considers this contract, the
City will have to come up with the additional funds required.
MOTION:
Councilman Ambarian moved, seconded by Councilman Morgan, that the City
enter into a contract with Eugene Campbell, dba/ Alaska Guard Security
(Cleaning) on a month to month basis for the Terminal Building only until we
find the funds for that portion of the Public Safety Building and Ft. Kenay. . This
44 is not to extend beyond July, 1976.

In the process of snow removal. In some of the City's subdivisions, snow continues
to build up higher and higher and creates an extremely hazardous situation. The
City wants to limit the hardship on those individuals who park in the streets but
this Ordinance would enable the City to do a much better snow removal job.

when rates are obtained from a licensed operator.

Is arranged on even and odd days opposite sides of streets, etc. and would this
not accommodate those individuals with surplus of vehicles. Councilman Ambarian
advised that there was a great cost factor involved with putting up of signs, etc.
Mr. Aber advised that the City did not want to enter into the cost factor of
collecting towing fees, etc. and did not want to place a burden on the vehicle
owner but prohibiting the parking of vehicles on City streets between the hours of
4: 00 a.m. and 8: 00 a.m. would enable Public Works to do a far better snow removal
operation. '

Commission, all members agreed that PaZ could not come to any agreement on those
parcels of land by themselves, The Administration had indicated that there had been
