KENAI CITY COUACIL MINUTES 17 JULY, 1968
Pastor Robert Welch of the Kenai Bible Chapel gave the benediction.
Roll call: Members present - Chas. Bailie, Robert Bielefeld, John Hulien, Billy
McCann, Florine McCollum and Mayor Eugene If. Morin; Members absent - Chester Cone.
Also present: City Manager James W. Harrison, Atty. James F. Fisher, Pub-
lic Works Director Hels 0. Kjelstad, Enqineers Frank Wince and Harold Gailiptt.
8-1: Mr. D..1. Coolidge, Engr. & Architect, talked with Council on designing a
Civic Center Complex. Ralph M. Alley, design consultant, accompanied Mr. Coolidge.
He designed the Kaloa and Water Utility Bldgs. in Anchorage and the Library in Palmer.
He prefers pre -cast concrete panels, saying they are easy to erect and expansion in
the future is simple. Forms for the panels can be stored and used later; panels
can be made on the site or ordered from Outside. He recommends one structure as
this lessens heating costs as well as construction costs.
They would also assist in site location, wonting with the Master Plan. Lo-
cation too close to a jet airport can be annoying, but windows can be small to par-
tially shut off outside noise.
Fees are on a percentage basis according to the A.I.A. schedule; they run
6% of cost for industrial bldgs., 7% for office buildings, 8% for Civic Bldgs.,
10% for monumental bldgs., etc. Contracts can be in phases so as to be terminated
in the event the bond issue is defeated.
Inspections can be done by a Clerk of the Works; otherwise travel to and
from Anchorage would slightly raise this cost.
He does not recommend windowless buildings or basements, unless the latter
is used for storage; of course, storage is one of the City's big items - i.e.,
where to put old records?
Council thanked Mr. Collidge and Alley for their presentation.
Mr. Mike Pendergrast, of McEntire & Pendergrast, gave a resume of their work, saying
they have been in business since 1958 designing schools, commercial bldgs., etc.
They designed the Sterling S. Sears School, and always design "to meet the budget".
They, also, favor concrete structures with steel frame.
Fees are by A.I.A. schedule and in phases. Their fees include site location,
supervision; prospectus for bonding and to be used by a contractor for estimating
costs.
His roofs are designed 112" fall to the ft.-. panels from Seattle cost a
little less than $4.00 per sq. ft. on the over-all cost at the Sears School.
Council thanked Mr. Pendergrast for coming.
Mr. W. J. Wellenstein talked with Council on the Civic Center Proiect s•rying he had
been in Alaska since 1942, an architect since 1949 and had operated his own busi-
ness since 1962. He has designed schools, municipal bldgs.. medical clonics, etc.
He designed Firs Station #3 in Anchorage, and one of thi schn-le in Anchorage. de-
signed by him, receiv%d the first award for materials. He also designed the uncom-
pleted parking garage in Anchorage.
His fees are according to A.I.A. schedule, done in phases, and include site
location.
He prefers concrete structures over wood or steel bidgs, saying it was more
economical; the fire underwriters usually are the ones to say where Fire Halls
should be located.
Council thanked Mr. Wellenstein for the interview.
8-2:
Mr. Robert Coate talked with Council on various CUL problems and plans sayinn he
liked to check with the City Council intermittently; he has invested J127,000.00
with CUL and is trvinq to re -negotiate loans for long-term money, etc. They have
already boght one 300,000 dollar generator, another one is ordered to be here in
Sept. They cannot put this in writing without knowing the policy of the City on
assignments is not likely to change, and without a contract with Fairbanks -Morse.

B-2 (Cont'd.)
Council assured Mr. Coate assignments would be accepted as long as they did not
exceed revenues from power users.
Discussion with Mr. Strandberg revealed power out put to by as follows:
One F.M. Genehator between 1800 and 2000 KW (Fairbanks -Morse)
One C.P. of abodt 13OU in five days (Chicago Pneumatic)
One Worthington, about 500 KW
Strandberg says he CAN supply the City's needs with this; he hopes to get
the second C.P. on the line, and this should put out about 130U KW when repaired.
The new F.M. will generate about 1800.
Mr. Coate said he had seen in the paper the City had been approached on sale
of the distribution system; if the City is considering sale of KCL his company
is ready and willing to negotiate also, either to buy KCL or to sell CUL to the
company that would operate the distribution system. Coate says two private comp-
anies should not own the generatior% and distribution separately.
The City has always said anyone wanting to buy KCL must also consider CUL.
Council also asked Mr. Coate to work with the City on inner -ties for emergency
power; the City does not have firm power, and has not been too successful in
efforts on inner -ties. Coate says he will give this thought and attention.
y Regarding sale of KCL, the Council's policy has always been to provide the
best and lowest costrpower possible.
Coate recognizes the critical nature of the City's need for firm power;
Strandberg says the last two outages were planned and the City had been notified.
There was some disagreement as to who should notify the public of these planned
outages; Strandberg said he would be glad to do it, 'though some of the Councilmen
think it's up to the City to let its customers know when these outages are to be.
Council says a few of the more critical business should be telephoned; the Admin-
istration was instructed to work this out with Strandberg.
C-1:
Minutes of the regular meeting of 3 July were approved.
Minutes of the special meeting of 10 July were approved.
D-1:
The Mayor presented two letters:
1. Mr. Cherrier is still confused as to the City's responsibility and ownership
of the old Beaver Loop Road. Harrison will handle this.
2. H. F. Deering of Ace Cab Co. is still soliciting taxi fares from the Terminal
Bldg.
After considerable discussion. Hulien moved, McCollum seconded, to delete
the clause in the City Code which says taxi companies may not solicit business.
Bielefeld moved to amend by saying soliciting fares in the Terminal Bldg.
shall be only by the public address system. Motion was seconded by Bailie.
After more discussion the amendment passed unanimously. The main motion
passed with McCann and Morin dissenting.
The Atty. was instructed to draft an ordinance amending the Code; Morin
read the portion to be changed, i.e. Sec. 20-9.
E-1: The City Manager reported:
1The Legislative Committee will meet here on 24, 25 July; Council should meet
with them once informally and once formally. They work on a tight schedule, but
he will try to arrange the dates.
2. He is chairman of an electric workshop to be held in Fairbanks 15, 16 of
August; he and Mrs. Hakkinen will be going; next year Brown will probably ga.
3. Harrison called attention to the Fire Code that prohibits burninig trash

Chief before any burning is done.

y. Dale Teel has asked the City to include in with utility bills material re-
garding Methodist University and a request for funds; Council says this is not

opposed to this being done by the City.

State Tel. Co. for consideration.

quest cost -of -living assistance to Sgt. Ray Rush who is leaving Kenai due to his
inability to pay the high rental costs.
