Richard Carignan, Sec. of the Coninission has been awarded a Scholarship for advanced study and will be absent from the City for a year; Kjelstad will act as Sec. for the Commission. Since Carignan has been Secretary the business of the Commission has been handled with dispatch and relations with the public and with the Borough have im- proved considerably. Q,�o Assembly representative McCann reported on the Borough meeting:' 1. The Hospital Board4as been appointed subject to a vote of reconsideratiod; $39.000 was allotted for the school; the architect for the Hospital is the firm of Crittenden Casetta Wirum and Jacobs, and his fee will be paid to San Francisco. There will be hearings on water pollution; they are going ahead with the plans; there must be a pipe line from the Kenai River to get an adequate supply. Harrison will contact the Phillips Petroleum "man" while he is in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, as they are still interested in securing a larger source of water. The Committee on City Bonding has met with various groups and have secured endors- ments from: Chamber of Commerce, Kiwanis Club, Plann. and Zon. Comm., City Council, Lions Club and Kenai Library, Inc. F-1: Steve Brown of Lounsbury and Associates reported on the status of their water study.A High quality water wource is not available in the City now; Beaver Loop Area has an aquifer they recommend for a test well; the next favorable site is in the upper Beaver Valley (North of Spencer homestead) and outside the City Limits; the State would give permission to drill here; the U.S.G.S. will match City funds up to $89000 before 1 July. They recommend: 1. Drill a 6" test will by the Cement Plant on Beaver Loop. 2. Drill a 2nd test will in upper leaver Valley. 3. Investigate a rainy -well type system from the Kenai River - a radial typ well, above the salt intrusion. Massey says the City is ready to ask for bids for the first well; the cost to the City would be about $29000; this would be 250' deep and test will be made at various levels. Harrison said the U.S.G.S. has only $30,000 in their fund for the balance of the fiscal year, and this is the first time they have allocated money to a City for such a study. Harrison read the letter from the Dept. of the Interior and explained the Contractual Agreement proposed; they cannot participate in the drilling, but can assist in every other aspect. The City has the casing ready as this is part of the material purchased from Collier. Bielefeld moved, McCollum seconded, to authorize the City Manager to sign the contract with the Dept of Interior on the water survey. Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote. F-2: After brief discussion, Cone moved, Bailie seconded, to approve the lease of Deshka S/D, Lots IA and 16 to KSRM. Motion passed unanimously. They will try not to disturb any barabars that might be there. F-3: Harrison explained both banks have indicated a willingness to work with the City on a loan to the Water & Sewer Fund - which loan will be repaid from the W&S Bonds to be sold in the near future. The money is needed right now - the fire rating people have said they will wait until the City can get its program started before they give the rating to the City; as it is now, the rate would go up. Hulien moved, McCollum seconded,, to adopt Res. 69-9 authorizing the City to borrow up to $401,000 for the W&S Survey in anticipation of the bond sales. Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote. Kenai Council Minutes 7 May, 1969 Page three F-3 (Cont'd.) Bielefeld objected to any of this money for a sto 4e lagoon at this time. He thinks the water level is too low to fill it. Massey says there is still enough water - this is only the preliminary part - the complete project would cost the City about $60.000 - this portion is only about $10,000, They would do the engin- eering on the clear well system first - second, the engineering on a total basis. There was discussion on types of storage. All stages of work will come before Council. F-4: Harrison presented the budget, reading his letter of transmission, and sug- gested a hearing for setting the tax levy be scheduled for the next regular meeting. McCann moved, Bailie seconded, to receive the budget. Motion passed unanim- ously. A public hearing will be held on 21 May. F-5: Harrison presented Ord. #163 saying there is work yet to be done on this. He will work with the Engineer to revise some of the rates downward if possible before the second reading. McCollum moved, Bailie seconded to adopt Ord. #163 for first reading, Amend. in KCL Rate Ord. Motion passed unan;mously by roll call vote. G-S: Harrison said Ron Miller.is out of town, but he had received reports from him that show his rate of return make it impossible to continue garbage collection service on the present rate basis. Rather than go through the figures twice, Bailie moved, Bielefeld seconded to hold a public hearing at the next regular meeting to consider an increase in rates. Motion passed unanimously. G-2: Concerning clean-up week, Harrison said the City should: 1. Let the people dump free of charge. 2. Use City personnel and equipment to assist. 3. Supervise all pick-ups along the highway. Council directed that this be done. Also, the City will require notification when any type of dangerous chemicals, dr.1substances, are left at the dump. G-3: After brief discussion, McCann moved, Hulien seconded, to table payment to ASHA on street planning until more data is received. Motion passed unanimously. G-4: Council agreed with Harrison's suggestion the City Utilities sponsor one boy to Boy's State, and instructed him to go ahead with this. Donations for a second boy were pledged from various people. G-5: Harrison presented Change Order #8 on the FAAP '03 project. Allan Corthell of Adams, Corthell, Lee, Wince and Associates, Engrs. on the run -way paving project, reviewed the actions for providing the emergency power generator at the Airport. This change order will put the generator in first rate condition. He said the Project closes out thusly, subject to FAA approval and audit: FAA share, $467,415.81 (they agreed to $461,067 - so this figure must be re- considered.) State's share, $263,905.22 (agreed to $264,000.00). The City will reakest an increase in the Federal grant. 9 will also thank all participating parties for their splendid cooper - at on; '7'►?A The City Mgr`. also said the City needs to borrow money to repay loans from various City funds until the final money can be had from the FAA and the State. Hulien moved, McCann seconded, to approve Change Order #8, FAAP'03. Motion carried unanimously by roll call vote. McCollum moved, Bailie seconded, to authorize borrowing against FAAP'03 monies to be received. Motion carried unanimously. The amount will be determined later. r�a )0O I1 4� Kenai Council Minutes fiSS1 5/7/69 Page four G-5 (Cont'd.) Bielefeld moved.
