KENAI CITY COUNIIL MINUTES OF SPECIAL MEETING 22 JANUARY,1969
Roll call: Members present - Charles A. Bailie, Robert Bielefeld, hilly McCann,
Florine McCollum and Mayor Eugene H. Morin.
Also present: City Mgr. James W. darrisonQtty. James.E: Fisher ,'Dir. of Public
Aorks 11. 0. Kjelstad.
The agenda was amended to include items B-7,8,9 and 1U.
A-i: Tabled until next regular meeting. (Ord. #154.)
A-2: Tabled until next regular meeting. (Ord. #155.)
B-1: The request for an assessment district on 3rd Ave. for water and sewer was
referred to the City engr. for consideration on spring assessment program if more
bond monies are forthcoming.
B-2: There was considerable discussion as to the need for a vehicle to fight
gasoline fires on the run -way and elsewhere. Cost of a new truck would be about
$37,00U.00. Meanwhile Gil Stafford proposed an expedniture of $2500 to outfit
one of the pumper trucks to fight gasoline fires. Since the truck would be
stationed in the fire hall it was doubtful it could be of much use for the run-
way; also a new bldg. is contempleted for the airport and Council thought the
money could be better spent when facilities are available there. The City Admin-
instration will look into this.
B-2oa: Free parking at the airport was discussed; the City has provided space
for those who wish to park all day free of charge, but some cars have been there
for three months. The concession for airport parking rents space for $25 a month
with access in and out any time; They have said they would reduce this fee to
$15, and have objected to the City competing with them for this business.
After considerable discussion, McCollum moved, Bielefeld seconded, the City
Administration should work on terms for free parking area with Halcro giving them
the right to impound. Motion carried unanimously.
8-3: Harrison explained the need for a change in classification for jobs in the
Water and Sewer Dept. He proposed the Dir. of Public Works would be over-all
supervisor, then would come the General Foreman, Classification #0432 with startin
salary of $$965 a month, next Foreman, Job #U433, starting salary of $875 a month,
and then Maintenance man, Job #0434, Starting salary of $719 a month.
Bielefeld thinks this department is too small for such a large crew; there are
only 216 customers, and he thinks the Dir. of Public 'Works should do the planning
and overseer work.
Harrison said these men are already working; there would be only one man to
get a raise of $246 a month - the rest would remain at their present salary, but
it was necessary to eatabisih the job classifications; that we have a complicated
system of water treatment - each well is different, and a trained man is necessary
to maintain them.
Bailie moved, McCann seconded, to adopt job classifications U432,0433,0434
for water and sewer activities with salaries starting as outlined by the City Mgr.
Roll call vote: Affirmative - Bailie, McCann, McCollum, Morin; Negative - Bielefeld.
B-4: Tabled for further study. (Dog catcher, dump operator, etc.)
B-5: Tne City mgr. presented costs of renting a trailer for additional office
space: Moving and setting up - $175; Cutting doors, addind entrance - $250;
monthly rental - $185; mtce. costs per month - $58.5U. Harrison and his sec.
would move in there along with the 3-M copy machine and Gestetner. Lease would
be for one year with option to buy for full purchase price of $4,75U with 80% of
the rental applied to purchase price.

3-5, Cont'd.:
Following brief discussion, McCollum moved, Bielefeld seconded, to rent the
trailer and move it in for additional office space. Motion carried unanimously
by roll call vote.
8-6: bailie moved, McCollum seconded, to endorse Smyth van Line's effort to haul
new furniture between Alaska points. Motion passed unanimously.
The City will write to Sen. Gravel congratulating him on his selection of
Tom SnWthe for planning coordinator with Citfes and Boroughs in Alaska.
B-7: Harrison explained the need for another billing machine: the old one is
costing too much for repairs; a lease purchase contract can be had for a new
Burroughs machine for $171.95 a month; mtce. for the first year is free from
Burroughs; option to buy at the end of any year is available; this is the
same as the machine we have - just a new model - the same bars can be trans-
ferred to the new one, and additional bars will be installed to put more of the
bookkeeping on the machine; new forms will be bought at a cost of about $13.08
a month and insurance runs about $6.00 a month.
McCann moved, Bielefeld seconded, to enter into a contract with Burroughs for
the billing machine. Motion carried unanimously by roll call vote.
B-8: Bailie moved, Bielefeld seconded, to approve the application for a permit
for Games of Chance and Skill for the American Legion. Motion passed unanimously.
B-9: Following the recommendations of the City Mgr. and KCL Supt. Buckingham,
McCann moved, McCollum seconded, to accept the power system in Central Hts. S/D.
Motion carried unanimously.
8-10: Harrison said Richard Fischer, representing Kenai Shopping Center, had
objected to the street assessment in Etolin S/D for areas where no street ex-
ists. After considerable discussion, Council decided only the area affected
should be assessed. An amended resolution will be presented at the next meeting.
Meeting adjourned at 8:30 p.m. for a study session on bonding for water, sewer
and power extensions, for the new City Hall, and for an executive sessi on, re-
quested by the Atty.,to discuss claims against the City.
Respectfully sbumitted,
Frances Torki lsen
City Clerk
