Carl Seaman; Members absent - Bud Lofstedt and Mayor James (7. I)ye.
Also presenti City Mrr. James W. iarrison, Planning Commission members -
Ruby Coyle, Jim Wilder, Bob Halloran.
B-li Bob Holt of Holt Construction objected to the Pee Schedule as sat forth in
the Uniform Bldg. Code now used by the City, lie th1nk3 they are too high. Also
speaking against the schedule was Stan Thompson.
Jim Wilder spoke for the schedule; Ruby Coyle suggested to wait a year or
no, and see if the fees just pay for the many inspections, or if they are in excess
of costs.
Harrison said there are from 1 to 22 insseetions made, depen•lin^ on the
type of construction, and the nature of the buildinn.
Cone moved, Meeks secondod,to put the Bldt,. permit fees on the agenda in
two weeks. Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote.
B-2i Harrison presented Elmer Knudson's problem to Councilt The City had granted
him a bldge permit to place one trailer an Lot 6, B1, S, East Addition , even tho'
the lot size is under minimum requirements for a structure. Also, the City had
said if Knudson wanted to run a water line to his property and dedicate it to the
City, this could be done and Knudson would not be required to pay Water assessment
on this lot. This appeared to be agreeable to him, but now be wants to put toLo
trailers on this lot (5,577 sq. ft. as against 7,200 minimum). The City Planning
Commission granted hin a permit for one trailer, and now he is appealing this de-
cision to the Council.
Council agreed the arrangement as to the water line was satisfactory. With
the exception of Meeks, they also agreed the Planning, Commission's decision should
be upheld.
Seeman moved, Bielefeld seconded, a minimum of one trailer for Knudsop on
Lot 69 - &Lzt addit be allowed. Motion passed usaarimweiy. W
C-ls Minutes of t igOlar meeting of 7 Sept. ware approved.
Minutes of the special meeting were approved, but Bielefeld wanted to go on
record that he was protestinn the action taken in regard to the reduction in lease
rate to Peninsula Enterprises, Inc. He said the Code required a specail meeting,
should, as its first order of business, pass a motion or resolution stating the
reason for the special meeting. This was not done, therefore it technically was
not a legal meeting. He thinks the rate of 14 for land the bld•c. is on and 1/24
for unoccupied land is too little.
Seaman moved, Cone seeonded,to reconsider the lease £;ranted to Peninsula
Enterprises at 9 Sept. special meeting. Motion carried unanimously.
Discussion followeds Bielefeld thinks the rate should be at least 24,
Council reminded him the lease rates on other City property are higher because of
utilities and services furnished --principally water and sewer. The City's snow re-
moval program also comes much closer to the new facilities that it will to Pen. Ent.
Seamen moved, Cone seconded, the action taken at the special meeting re
lease to Peninsula Enterprises be ratified. Motion passed by roll call vote with
Bielefeld dissenting.
The City Manager reporteds
1. The personnel man and an officer of Collier Carbon have been in town for the
past three days getting an idea of the feasibility of training people to work for
them, and also the potential housing situation. They want to hire people from this
area if possible: They seem to think this can be done with only about 10 Outsiders
having supervisory jobs, etc. They also were pleased with the planning for housing,
etc. They were especailly interested in the cultural phase of the City's activities,
and were pleased to know Music Trails included Kenai on its itinerary. They also
talked with the University of Alaska Dean about hiring, graduates. They also spoke
of showing slide to their personnel who are contempletinr, coming to Kenai, so they
Council Minutes 21 Sept 66 page two
will know what to expect generally. They were not concerned with construction work -
era --this was about permanent personnel for operation of their plant.
2. Four billion dollars was appropriated by Conlres4 for ET)A projects around the
country, but the Executive Branch has cut this back --part of the cut -back was a
portion of Kenai's Water & Sewer Program. Harrison thinks the City's project can
be reduced by deleting the street improvements. With Council's consent he will omit
this phase, and will endeavor to get the balance of the application approved.
3. Council says it is all ripht to adopt the policy of allowing a properly owner. to
put in a water or sewer line, dedicate It to the City, in lieu of assessments. This
in in the case where the cost is greater than the assessment.
4. Requested authority to accept the grant offer for the City's Centennial Project.
Cone moved, Seaman seconded, to accept the terms of the rant offer for
$39,770 for Centennial grant, and authorize the City Mpr. to sign. Motion passed
unanimously by roll call vote.
The City has some rigid requirements to meet, but it can be done.
5. The City is acquiring 81.79 acres for Minnei.pal Park. Improvements will cost
$1861,000--valuation of the land is $43,000. The Cit.-, will do as much force account
work as possible. Centennial grant funds are providing for picnic tables. Many
facets of recreation will be provided fore, compin¢, trailers, ski hill, skating,
rink, baseball field, etc. The City will start to clear ground after freeze-up.
Theadore Smith of the Parks Dept, has been most helpful in laying opt the design.
6. The Chanber of Commerce' resolution re trapping or shooting within two miles of
the post office was received and discussed, but no action taken.
Harrison reported for the City Atty.t ASHA has the right of eminent domain in re
to Housing projectsp but has never exercised it except for Urban Renewal Projects.
Vice Mayor Morin reporteds The Student Council Convention will be in Kenai 3 and 4
of Nov. Students will be here from 42 high schools. They will need housing, and
entertainment and he urges the City to do all it can to provide both.
Harrison presented the City's invitations that will be mailed to 500 people to
attend the dedication of the Airport Terminal Bldg.
Sampan reported the Borough Centennial Group was meeting thts evening to determine
whether or not Boro money should be spent on the Peninsula's exhibit in Fairbanks.
Since it coincided with Council meetiagp he that it beat to attend Council. It is
estimated the booth mtce. at Fairbanks will cost about S10,000.
