Letter from the Dept. of Commereo says they do not have tlw facilities for a price survey, but have forwarded the roc{nest on to the Dept. of Labor which may be able to do this. Mayor Dye says this would accomplish two things: 1. If there IS a price -rise, reasons would be shown; 2.

At the last Boro meeting, it was decided to have another meeting on the school budget at 7 p.m. the 25ta; transfer of the Kasilof Library will also be on the agenda, as will hiring a State Sanitarian. The ;Mayor is afraid this last action would open the door for Boro's taking over police functions and road mtce. which would be costly. Tile 26th there is another Boro meeting on water resources at 3 p.m. at Sold- otna Conn. ilall. At the study session of the Boro mid School Board, it was decided to purchase temporary class rooms, use the Kenai Shop as a class room, and to build a temporary shop. There was discussion as to who would represent the City at the next Born ;neetings F-1: The City ~tanager presented the Plat of Redoubt Terrace S/D saying this is tine most complete and detailed Plat lie has ever seen; it shows water, sewer streets, etc., and has been approved by the Planning Commission.

F-2: The City Mgr. presented Res. 67-13, approving the Final Plat of Josephine Davidson. Morin moved, Seaman seconded, to adopt Res. 76-13. Motion carried unanimously. F-3: Res. 67-11 was presented by Harrison, approving the Plat of Highland S/D. Soaman moved, Lofstedt seconded, to adopt Re. 67-11. Motion passed unanimously.

Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote. F-5: The Atty. and City Mgr. recommend the contract with Adams, Cortnell, Lee, Wince $ Assoc. be signed as the fee is proper for the work involved. This is for nun -way extension, airport lighting and related work. Morin moved, Seaman seconded, to approve the contract with ACLU. Motion carried unanimously. Frank Wince explained the work to be done for the extension: There would be a taxi way from the ramp to the So. end, maybe a turn around at the So. end, a turn around at `ie No. end, with blast protection on the So.; a fence around tine Equipment bldg.; a stand- by generator for the landing lights and the water wells. Council thot the ramps, taxi- ways, etc. are more important that fencing. They will advertise for bids on 10 May, with bid opening on 10 June. There is enough gravel in the City pit for tine project, they think. Council Minutes 19 Apr 67 Palle three ►Vince: also said they ►loped to get the CIIAP Project. Phase 3, (sts.) underway as soon as possible. This will be on tine agenda next week The design for Pease 4 (ryas) were presented to Council who questioned the line r ui- uing along the creek instead of 'Trading Bay Road. Winco will see fituisuck, who made the design about this. other titan this, Council okayed the plan. F-6: Council asked for t,ie Airport Manager's recommendation on Kenai Air :iervice's request for Unicom Service on the Airport. Jaynes said Alaska Aeronautical had ap- plied for this a yr. ago, and it aroused such a controversy he thot it would be best to hold a public hearing for taose who would be most involved. Bielefeld thinks it should be tied into one unit and anyone could use it as it's for the General Aviation public. Meeks had talked with several pilots to see how they felt about it and they lead said titoy thought all pilots should be able to install remote units and use the service if they wanted to. Lofstedt said lie would not install tine service on this basis; that if this is done he thinks the City should operate the service. tie would be open from 8 to 5 _ in the winter and 7 to 9 in the summer. �yl Only one permit can be issued by the FCC for Kenai and the holder of the permit has an economic advantage over other operators. Lofsted had applied to FAA several years ago, was referred to the City Air- port Commission who told hint to wait until iee had a permanent site for his operations. He now has this site and is ready to carry on this service. Seaman moved, Cone seconded, to approve Lofstedt's application .for Unicorn Service on Kenai Airport. Roll call vote: Affirniative - Cone, Morin, Seaman; .Neg- ative - Bielefeld and Meeks; Lofstedt abstained from voting at the request of t4orin, who'.pointed out he had too much of a vested interest in the outcome of the vote. Mike Gravel displayed plans for a stioppin; center complex on City lands no. of the Kenai Spur and between the flight service station road and the Aloyeska S/D. The first please, which they hope to build this summer would ;hold a market, drugs and bank services; would comprise 40,000 sq. ft. bld,. at a cost of $1,000,000. Larry Carr explained the financing mid methods of accomplishing their project. The entire complex would involve 200,000 square feet and would be bigger than anything in Anchorage; would include covered and heated mall; was designed by Brand-WoMi and Assoc. who have designed shopping centers all over the Nation; would be 50% financed by Beneficial Standard Life; and would "anchor" the Kenai Commercial Center. They would start construction on Phase 1 this sum7ter if they can have the land by 1 June. They prefer owning the land as financing is much easier than if the land is leased. The City's problem is to get CAP and the State Health Center re -located. Morin moved, weeks seconded, to approve the Kenai Shopping Center plans and to instruct the City Manager to see about getting land released from FAA conditions, and clearing up the land -use rights. Notion passed unanimously by roll call vote. F-8:. Harrison explained the application to FAA for funds for the sea plane basin had to be increased from the former amount to $149,500 less the City's share -of $56,063. (32,000 of this would be in cash, the rest would be land value.) FAA required a sluice gate and spill way so water level could be controlled; also $4500'in Atty's. fees are allowed. Seaman moved, Morin seconded, to approve the application for f►uids for sea plane basin and authorize the City Nigr. to sign. Passed unanimously by roll call vote.

Sevnan moved, the Seconded, tlne City approve tae agreement with Say Arms, Inc., and authorizo the City Dtbr. to sign. Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote. G-1: Frank Wince explained a transformer had been orderod months ago for Pnase I, CIIAP; the wrong one was sent, and they discovered the one they wanted cannot be had. The one received cam be used, but a change order to the contractor is necessary. Cone moved, Morin seconded, to autiiorize change order N1, 1.14S contract, CIIAP, and authorize the City Mgr. to sign. Motion passed unanimously. G-2: Boro Ord. #21 on tax foreclosures was discussed. Council agreed they should desig- nate a one year minimum for foreclosure actions. G-3: Gas Codes will he referred to Planning Commission for recommendation. G-4: Tne City has been asked to designate a dividing line to establish two voting precincts as the State elections have shown over 500 voters coming to the poll. liar- rison suggests this line be on a section line as the legal description is so much eas- ier tl�'s way; it was also suggested precincts snould be numbered or named. 'rile Mayor doesn't think it's advantageous for the City to be divided for its elect ons as *voting results make it appear the City isn't very thickly populated. Harrison will see if City elections must use two precincts, and also if it is absolutely mandatory the State elections require two precincts if the vote is Over 500 people. G-5: Inlot Industrial, Inc. prepared their own lease rider which provides: 45 da ` after written notice to cure a defect; on 5 yr. review, if the two parties agree on the rates, a third party is not necessary; City would not prohibit users on basis of reace, creed, religion, etc.; City must notify lossee in writing if there is a defect; the mortgagor has an assignment on the lease in case of default, can assume the lease and correct the default.

The Susitna Supply lease was found to be all right, but was not signed as Council did not approve of the building to be used. R Seaman moved, *rin seconded to approve the Bolstridge lease of Lot 6, 81. 50 SAA, and authorize the City Mgr. to s1gn. Motion carried unanimously. ` Morin moved, Meeks seconded, to authorize the signing of the quit claim deed to S.B.A. for Lot 21, Sec. 34, T64 R11.9, S.M. Motion passed unanimously. mnis was necessitated by a mix-up in deeds from the Court on foreclosed property. --- Morin brought up the subject of remuneration for Councilman attending the Boro assembly, since it works a hardship on a businessman taking time away from work. -- Morin moved, Meeks seconded, to remunerate Assemblyman at $75.00 a day.
