The contractors employed by the City have been the cause of
a lot of recent damage to the gas system. There was one
incident in Davidson S/D and four in Bush Lanes. The lines
have been marked and there is no excuse. He feels the Council
should consider putting teeth in Ordinance 12S-67 and consider
increasing the amount of property damage, exposure by hand
digging around utility lines and no excavating performed,
except in emergencies, when the frost is down one foot, and
there should be a full time inspector on the jobs at all times.
Mr. Glotfelty stated that -some of your suggestions are good
and should be reviewed.
Mayor Steinbeck asked Council if there were any objections
to having the City's legal counsel review this to see if the
ordinance could be up -dated. There were no objections. Mr.
Steiner thought it would be a good idea to see that Mr. Fisher
had a copy of the Occupational Safety and Health Act.
B - 2: Kenai Peninsula Racing Association
The Clerk read the letter from the Kenai Peninsula Racing
Association.
The City Manager stated a legal agreement has been drawn up
between the City -of Kenai and the Kenai Peninsula Racing
Association. The Administration recommends the City enter
into such an agreement with them. He further stated the
grant has not been funded as yet for permanent rest rooms.
The Mayor asked Mr. Self if it would be agreeable with the
Racing Association for the City to wait to install the
permanent rest rooms until the grant has been funded? Mr.
Self stated yes, they would be agreeable.

with the Kenai Peninsula Racing Association per the City Manager's
recommendation. The motion carried unanimously by roll call vote.
