E-1: City Manager Harrison reported:
1. Some of the equipment and materials bought from Chemco are not suitable for
the City's purposes and it is proposed to hold a surplus sale. G. L. Jaynes out-
lined the equipment no longer needed:
1. 12 yd. LeTourneau Scraper

12. KCL trenching machine
13. KCL supplies - left overs from Collier Carbon material

15. Clay pipe and sewer fittings
Harrison recommends we advertise these items; Council concurred.
2. Harrison presented specs on 4 pieces of equipment:
1. Crash truck for fire dept.
2. Rescue Vehicle
3. Rotary snow plow that will fit our loader
4. Line construction and mtce. truck for KCL
Harrison recommended the City advertise for purchase of these, but recommended we
don't buy the crash truck until the Airport bonds have been sold - else there will
be no place to house it.
McCann moved, McCollum seconded, to advertise for proposals on equipment
lease -purchase as outlined by the City Mgr. Motion passed unanimously.
3. The Congressional Record, dated 11 July, shows there is emminent danger of
deleting the tax exemption on municipal bond income.

4. Phillips Petroleum is donating the bldg. for our recreational center - it just
takes time to get details worked out.
S. The City has been petitioned for water and sewer services; Dr. Hanson outlined
the areas to be served as being around Linnwood Lane, Tinker Lane and Candlelight
Dr. He presented plats showing trunks and laterals needed as well as petitions
with signatures of 34 property owners - 6 owners who live in Kenai did not sign -
otner owners are absentbes.
The City has two other petitions with priority: North of the Highway and
across from Candlelight Dr. and in Sec. 31 (Byerly's) regarding Lots 75 thru 78, etc.
It is necessary to hold two hearings: first to ascertain if the City should
.form assessment districts and proceed with the construction; second to notify every
property owner involved and have costs for each piece of property.
Harrison recommended all three petitions be considered and that Don Meyer
be instructed to prepare the bond prospectus for immediate sale of bonds. The
ordinances creating assessment districts should be drafted.
There is no money for streets - the bonds did not pass.
Massey said costs for construction are, roughly, 6-7 dollars per ft. now due
to the drouth; in normal years, when the water table is high the costs are 26-27
dollars per ft.
Council asked the Atty. to prepare the paper work to hold the hearings.
There was discussion on hiring a surveyor, etc.
6. The bill f r power for the substation in Steige's report for $2.912.73 is o.k.
.6r
to 0WV ? L/,G .
Malone asked if the letter to Fairbanks Morse had been written or an answer
received? He referred to the minutes of 18 June. Harrison will see about this.
Malone also asked if the State had done anything about the barricades on the
old Spur Hwy. across.fmo .Oberts'. Nothing is known about it; however, half the
road is out and a big ditch is across it.
E-2: Atty. Fisher reported:
1. The City can no longer send prisoners to Anchorage for incarceration for drunken-
ness; Anchorage cannot take them now that we are not a party in the State Public
Safety Program.
2. The City should adopt the schedules of fines and penalties that the State has.
We have done this in the past, but perhaps a new schedule exists that we do not know
of.
3. Processing and collection of fines should be studied.
Harrison says the City is working out a method wherein the Deputy Magistrate's
office would handle this, but as Nicholas is out of town now, we must await his return.
4. The Correction deed concerning Royal Redoubt should be submitted to SBA. Act-
ually, an attorney's 0 "on should suffice for the reservations required by FAA in
the deed to Royal Redoubt property, since the City's ownership had the same reserva-
tions and we could -not sell -what we do not have.
E-3(1)The Mayor reported:
1. He will be unable to attend the meeting in Fairbanks called by Mayor Boucher.
2. Don Smith requests a telephone book.
3. Letter asks to be considered for codifying our ordinances; Dr. Spencer has been
asked to consider doing this; some discussion on Code - Harrison recommends we cod-
ify every two years, and not to do it at this time. The City has had a new Code
about every 60 ordinances - this keeps the costs down somewhat; the last codification
was in 1967 to comply with the State statute.
4. The City will write the letter for the man who is collecting Mayor's signatures.
E-tit .. Morin reported on the Borough meeting:
1. Ordinance was passed on Fire Service for North Kenai.

8. The Boro will pay an additional AML membership fee of $395.00.

10, Morin suggested subdividers should construct streets as the City requires, but
the Boro does not. Ross agreed with him as there are many subdivisions in the Boro
with no roads.
E-3(2) : The City Clerk reported:
1. Two pamphlets had arrived on "Selection of a City Mgr." Mrs. McCollum will read
and pass on to other Councilmen; more copies have been requested and will be given
to Council on arrival.

Cities was corrected as to date of Harrison's term in office.
