KENAI CITY COUNCIL 14INUTES 18 SEPTEMBERs1968
Council convened after an executive session at 7:30 on C.A.P. Bldg.
Following a minute of silent prayer, roll call showed: Members present - Chas.
A. Bailie, Robert Bielefeld, Chester Cone, John Hulien, Billy McCann, Florine
McCollum and Mayor Eugene H. Morin.
Also present: City Mgr. James W. Harrison; Dir. of Public :forks Nets O.
Kjelstad; Airport Mgr. G. L. Jaynes, Jr.; Plan. Comm. Sec. Richard Carignanii
Atty. James E. Fisher; Mrs. Mary Putnam, Planning Consultant with ASHA; Engfn-
eer Harold H. Galliett, Jr.; Robert N. Hoffman and Walt Steige of Crews, Mac-
Innes and Hoffman and Architect Mike Pendergrast of MacEit-tre and Pendergrast,
A.I.A.
A-1-at Galliett gave figures for extending water, sewer and street improvements
East on Third Ave. from Birch Dr. to the Airport property - a distance of 643'.
The costs would be lessened somewhat to go only 5001. fie added 20% to bid prices
on the last water, sewer, street improvement bids because of inflation, and un-
certainties. These preliminary estimates include 33 1/3% "burden" for adminis-
trative costs, and! -hydrant and are as follows:
'plater Sewer Streets
` CCost ost for 1 ..ft. $0.0522 $0.0573 $ 0.1024
wit165' frontage $1293.00 $1417.00 $2534.00
Kjelstad read the petition which called for sewer and streets only. He
said only 1/3 of the property owners invlolved are in favor of the improvement.
Morin read a letter from a property owner which was against construction.
The meeting was opened for public hearing.
Larry Wilshusen said he wished to withdraw his name from the petition as
several parcels have changed owners since he signed, and the new owners did not
seem to be in favor, so he wants to wait until they can all get together and
talk it over.
Tru McCrady would like to see it go in now. He's afraid there will be a
pollution problem on the wells out there; also, the fire insurance rates will
be decreased if water is installed. it
Mr.khoepl, speaking for Vera Ki (who was present) said he would like to
see it go in before construction costs got too much higher.
Mr. Jordan said he was against the construction.
McCann suggested, and Council agreed, maybe the line; could be run to ser-
vice the two who wanted them; Galliett will estimate costs and this will be
worked out with the City Mgr. later.
The public hearing was closed.
Galliett suggested the City Council might want to consider charges for
treatment and distribution in the future as we have not charged for this to date.
If these lines are to be run to McCrady and King, it might be done this
Fall by hiring a contractor different from the one on the EDA job.
A-1-1b: Kjelstad read the petition to run sewer only 500' East on 4th from Birch
Dr. No cost figures were available; the Planning Commission asked that Lots
409 419 42! Sec. 31 T6�4s R11W, S.M. be turned over to the City (now owned by
North Kenai domeoiners Association) and be made into a neighborhood park. Har-
rison is very much against this as the City has all it can handle to take care
of the 80 acre Municipal Park just six blocks away from these lots. He suggests
the Association sell them and use the revenue for local improvements.
During the public hearing only Dick Morgan spoke, inquiring about this
r hearing held with a petition for sewer with only two names.
Galliett said water and street improvement has already been made as the
water line runs along 4th from the new wells and the street was more or less re-
paired after water line was installed. Answering Morgan's question, Harrison
-!
1(enai Council iMinutes 9/18/68 Page two
said hearings on this ware held on the whole package last July or Auqust.
No owners were present nor letters received saying they wanted the improv-
ment and since 11cCann is going to make different arrangements the petition diod.
d-1: Mrs. Mary Putnam presented a large 8UU' to the inch scale map of the City
saying they had put together Malone's plats to get this; they had also given
the City a QU' to the inch map as the City wanted a large scale map for mount-
ing on a wall. They have tried to get everything on this in the way of subdivi-
sions streets, etc. She had taken a tour of the City and can see they do not
have ?t all. She would appreciate suggestions from Council on what they may have
left out.
She also had a photographic overlay of part of the City that had been
taken from Galliett's maps; photographic maps are scarce and should be com-
pleted, but they did use photographic maps from U.S.G.S. which show 25' intervals.
These are not too good, but can be used in a general way to help show qround
suitable for suitable for subdivision lay -outs.
Mrs. Putnam expressed regret the street planning report was not done on
time, but said they hoped to be done in about 6 weeks; they do not design streets,
but say where they snould go in general to regulate traffic flow, etc.
,.y�. With consent of Council Item d-2 was added to the Agneda:
Mike Pendergrast presented his schedule of fees to Council saying his contract
would be in 4 stages and could be terminated at any one of them 1n the event
bonds are not voted, or sold. The fees inclusde site selection, all engineering
costs - structural, electrical and mechanical. They do not include a Clerk of
the Works but this may not be needed; the Sears school did not use one. His
design will be within the budget set by Council, and will be classed as an office
building. The area should be at least a City block in size.
There was considerable discussion as to site choice.
Mrs. Putnam will work wltn Pendergrast and said Civic Centers generally
are built on the periphery of a Commercial area - not in the center - they
should be set where they can be a source of pride as well as utilized - and care
shoud be taken to avoid high-speed traffic patterns.
The Sears school cost was $26.50 per sq. ft. and Pendergrast said tno
City Hall might be near this, 'tho allowance must be made for higher costs of
materials and for inflationary pressures..
There was discussion on fire protection, hydrants, earthquake factors,
Jet aircraft hotse factors, decibal levels - a map will be obtained from FAA
on this.
Pendergrast will meet with the Planning Commission to work on site selec-
tion.
Bailie moved, McCann seconded, the Pendergrast should prepare a contract
to be submitted to the Attorney and to Council. Motion carried unanimously.
Minutes of the meeting of 9/4/68 were corrected and approved.
Minutes of the meeting of 9/11/68 were approved.
E-1: The City Manager reported:
1. Highland Trailer Court should be added to the ASHA mao.
2. tie and the Mayor had met in Anchorage on Office of Economic Opportunity
Programs; the gist of the meeting was to try to get local governments more in-
volved; Morin will report further later.
3. He attended a meeting at Seward on getting a Resurrection Road; the Mili-
tary is going to help on this as they hope to make a recreation area there,
Kenai is not involved; all Government agencies were there including the Borough
and Soldotna, plus Fed. Aqencies.
4. At the doro meeting he asked what it would take to step up Phase 3 of
their planning; the Boro might be able to include water and sewer in Phase 2;

11. A letter From Sen. Gruening says he has obtained adoption of a Resolution
by the Public Works Committee for a review of the study for Kenai's small boat

said these Ordinances could be passed for second reading at the next meeting

tions for Assessments on the 16th.

Creating Improvement District #7 - Paving. Motion carried unanimously by roll
call vote.

E-4: dorough Assembly representative McCann reported:
1. The next meeting is 7:30 Oct. 8. when ballots will be canvassed and new
Assemblymen seated.
Councilman Cone will replace Bielefeld whose term is up.
F-1: Harrfson reported it would cost the City $19,037 to clear the lots for
J. M. Ross for his car wash, nursery and laundromat in CIIAP, and would cost
$1,250.00 if we clear only where the building goes.
Bielefeld moved, Hulien seconded, to lease Lots 9,10, 11, 81. 21, CIIAP,
to J. N. Ross with $702.32 reduction in lease fee -for their excavation and
grading and necessary fill material to prepare the site. Motion passed unanimously.
F-2: Walt Steige, reporU69 on their electric system study thanked tors. Put-
nam for the background plan of the City.
They have projected the power system as-builts on one map; used aerial
maps on 1" to 100' scale; they walked over every foot of ground as of 1 Aug.
made inventory sheets; every item was inventoried as a unit; cost is recorded,
labor of installation, depreciation figured on 20 year life; from this compu-
tation the valuation of the system is $793,875.59; teplacement costs,
$1,046,953.88.
The mapping has taken longer than they estimated; may have to ask for
more time for completion and for more money. They aren't sure yet.
They have tried to project power needs for the future; there probably will
be a 4800 kw peak demand by 1 January as against 3350 last year; by the sum-
mer of '69 the steady load will be greater than the peak of Jan'68.
There was sane discussion as to net worth, bond money spent, evaluation
of plant, etc.
Hoffman says the City should continue to own the system; in a few years
it should return money to the City as their report will show.
Tnere are problems involved in funding for generation. Hoffman says.
F-3: After considerable discussion it was decided Ron Miller should come up with
costs for operation of the dump by the month; the City will subsidize the op-
eration; Kjelstad will work with Miller to amend the agreement with him; it
was agreed there should be a charge for using the dump as most of the users are
from outside the City. There is no money budgeted for this added expense, but
Harrison thinks this is the only way tie City can continue having a dump and
Council agrees.
Kenai Council Minutes 9/18/63 Page five

F-5: Harrison reported the letter from Gantz:

3. The City should avoid any allegation of breach of contract on CUL's
part.
Harrison will instruct Gantz to direct a letter to R. L. Coate; the
City will insist that CUL order anotherit Airbanks-Morse generator; Harrison
reiterated that CUL's emergency with HEA is not an inner -tie.
F-6: Ca rignan and Jaynes put forth their ideas on changing regulations for
the Airport; a hearing will be set on this for further review. The prin-
cipal change would charge 20t per thousand pounds for planes weighing over
12,500 lbs. and nothing for those under that weight.
