'rho City Administration will do everything possible to "held the lino" in exoonsos, but demands from the citizenry for sorvices can chango this picture in a hurry. Utilities are not so critical as they operate an revenues. Materials are Rot- ting scarce; copper is not available without waiting months; aluminum wiring can ho used. Por this reason, the City will negotiate with IiBA for as much - equipment as possible. Councilman Lofstedt joined Council during this period. The City has arranged to buy the Buroughs Office machines for $2,000; now they would cost between 10 and 12 thousand dollars. The City is also entering into a now classificnti.on of accounts; this is the system used all over the country In Municipal accounting.

The minimum price on Lot 1 is $14,000. Item N3: The City Atty. briefly reviewed tostimonv to be submitted to the CAB hear- ing on the "Cordova Case". The issues before the CAB Bureau Council are: 1. Does traffic warrant renewal of a Certificate for Cordova Airline: 2. If so, how long should the route be? And under what conditiona? 3. Are they eligible for subsidy? After this application was made, thoncbrdova filed a petition to suspend PNA's service to Kenai, Yakutat and Cordova --later, the last two were struck. This action was what brought Kenai into the case; petition would affect the turn -around at Ilomer,toc The City's position will be to: 1. Show why Kenai should be an Area Airport; 2. Distances between towns; 3. Map showing off -shorn oil activity and pointing out that Kenai is in a location to best servo these activities. Witness for the City are: City Manager, Mayor, Airport Sunt., Councilman Sea- man, Airport Consultant Goruszka, PNA Agent Joanna Iiolltor; ASIiA Planner, Tom Smythe; and Jay Lietzke. The latter's letter was read urging, that exhibits accepted in the rase should not be of a promotional nature. Witnesses will not be called on to testify unless under cross -examination --the Atty, thinks this is unlikely, but cannot be sure. The accident frequency will be touched on in Seaman's deposition, and could be extended on; Normally airlines do not relish talking "accident records"; the City's position is the desire to protect its citizens. PNA to concentrating its case on economics: 100t of the traffic out of Kenai goes Outside; 5$ is long -haul, i.e., Cordova, Kodiak, Fairbanks, etc. These two factors puts PNA in the black and eliminates any need for a subsidy. The City Mgr, will be in Anchorage all next week to attend these hearings; $io will be back for Council meeting, but there will, of necessity, be a very short Agenda. Item 04: Review of the Budget: One of the principal changes was to re-classify Council's budget; i.e. Civil Defense, Nat'l. Guard, etc. remain in their category, but other activities have boon placed in more related classes. The revenues on the June budget showed $157,550--a review of estimated revenues brings this figure to $170,193. Expenditures are extimated to amount to $140,976 at the and of June. If this is true, the City could end with a surplus of $29,217.
