Kenai Counc3_4'M1nutes 21 July 65 Page two
Harold Galliett reported: Mr. Donatello was here working with the
City on the water wells. He went over the water softeners thoroughly
and found faulty wiring had caused malfunctioning. This has now beet+
fixed. We will. get heaters for each control cabinet; wiring diagrams
will be fuanished to City, - three copies; check valves have been
orderer' to avoid leakage; things are working okay now.
Lyons reported all fire plugs are working except the one by the
Hotel --everything is ready for inspection --the heating bills are run-
ning high, according to Galliett. A sample of the dross from the
softeners was inspected. Cost of maintenance is about as expected.
The alarm system on tye wells cannot be connected until all parts
are received --Council urges these be connected before the Fire Under-
writers' inspection the 27th.
Galliett thinks the dampness in the well houses might be overcome
by keeping the buildings closed tightly --he says it's ventilation
that causes it --says also there's no danger of chlorine gas as that
In easily detected by smell.
State Fire Marshall Phillips has been working with the City and
has helped wherever he could.
Galliett says the Underwriters always need to know the pumping
capacity of the system, and that Kenai's is 600 gals p inutn. ,d
j� arNa• �

'thoreness b Lowe are withdrawing from the case due to possible con-
flict of interest. Fisher will carry on the argument, and expects
some activity this Friday --he will move to throw it out.
Re W&S, there is 01549000 available for bonding companies to pay
off Caughran creditors; the Bonding companies do not intend to sue
the City re extras --the City has never acknowledged any extra was
due; Fisher recommends the money be turned over and let the Companies
allocate payments, thereby relieving the City of any claim against it.
McCann moved; Morin seconded, to authorize the release of funds,
when available from the Court and Federal agencies, to the Bonding
Companies for payment of debts on W&S construction, Motion carried
unanimously by roil call vote.
(Bud Lofeted arrived at Council meeting and voted on the above
motion.)
F After considerable discussion, Morin moved, McCann seconded, the
Mayor, City Manager and Clay Lyons should meet with H.E.A.
concern-ing purchase of their facilities. Motion passed unanimously.
REVENUES FROM SALE of
The Attys states j`; airport lands are not committed for payment of
the terminal bonding, as near as he can determine.
__.. According to the sales tax ordinance of the Boro, Municipal
utilities are exempt from collection of the tax; the Boro Attye con -
cure with Fisher's opinion on th1q as well as the Boro Chairman.
The Attys has informed the Public Service Commission the City
will not object to the transfer of garbage permit from Cuppe and
Crones to Miller, but the City does not recognize PSC regulating
services in the City. City ordinances prescribe regulations on this.
The City administration is working on revision of present Code.
Vice Mayor Morin will attend the farewell dinner for Major Cher -
buck who is leaving Wildwood Station. The City will prepare a
cert-ificate of Honorary Citizenship for Cherbuck.
Mayor Dye reported on a meeting with the Governor's Labor Commission
Kenai Counc! Minutes 21 July 65 Page three
and vatious oil companies, busineaRes and interested citizens. This
meeting was not properly advertised, but a good audience was in atten
dance just the same. The meatiug seemed to be to promote harmony
between labor and management, to stimulate Industry* etc. The oil
companies, drilling companies, etc., are hiring local help whenever
possible--sometimeslack of trained men results in bringing in Out-
side help.
Incidentally, the City Manager reported four Government represent-
atives were in the office last week. Harrison will write Egan re-
questing advance notice of the impending visits of these people --that
we appreciate these •risito and their interest, but we can make them
more advantageous if we can prepare for them.
Mayor Dye stopped in at HHFA's in Seattle just to extend greetings
and to answer any questions if they had any. In passing, he mentionec
the short construction season in Alaska, (relating to the plannld
construction of the terminal building).
Gene Roguazka presented a concise financial report of Airport receipts
and expenses since the City assumed operation and mtee. of the faci-
lity. Said report accompanies these minutes. Council and the
audience participated in discussion of the report.
Considering the estimated costs and revenues for the next fiscal
year, Roguszka suggested Council could complete the project as
contracted, or they could consider a third FAAP project to solve the
problem of hangar lots on the Small Aircraft Apron. The present
FAAP project will only provide enough money for development of two
front line lots= the Airport has applications for four lots already;;
the FAA has informally agreed to a third project to be constructed
on force account for the remaining lots. Rogueska's off -hand esti-
mate of the project to include necessary drainage and lighting is
50 to 60 "thousand dollars. *
Roguszka said the Commission was generally in favor of paving
the access road to the Terminal--nolvote was taken as a quorum was
not present at the Airport Commission meeting, hu#those who were
present agreed the paving should be done. Present paving of the
Small Aircraft Apron will be completed this Saturday and if M-K can
have notice to:proceed this week they can pave the Access Road while
their equipment is still here, and the project can be accomplished
under an alternate in the existing contract. Twenty thousand dollars
is the budgeted amount with $10@000 as the City's share. This $10900(
can be under -written by the General Fund if the Airport Comm. will
pledge al unincumbered funds to the street paving --also, this can be
done only if the contractor will undertake compaction of the road.
If the City must do the compacting, this amount of money -will not be
enough. Roguszka says 952 compaction will be accomplished and will
be done to the satisfaction of the engineer. Cone moved, Morin second
ad, to follow the recommendation of the City Mgre in paving the accesr
road to the new terminal building site. Roll tali vote passed the
motion unanimously. If they do the compacting, the City can under-
take the paving.
There was some discussion on obtaining more equipment from Pea.
* This construction would be accomplished by force account. Work
could be started in the Pall if approved by FAA and the City. More
Information will be forthcoming in the future - this was brot up
noW for Council to be considering.

Kenai Counci Minutes `J"21 July 1.865 Page four
Since the Airport Comm. had no quorum and since time is importanti
Council agreed the Texaco option should be honored. Morin moved,
McCann seconded, the City Manager should write a latter honoring the
Texaco option for puchase of Lot 6, Airport Subdivision 01, Motion
carried unanimously by roll call vote. This motion was made on con-
dition the Airport Comm. concurs. Financial consideration on the
option will be left to the Airport Commission.
There was considerable discussion on the degree of curve and
grading on the Kenai Spur -Primary Highway. Engineer Galliett says
by looking ahead and planning on a 30 curve the City can save a lot
of grief and expense in the future.
Dr. Charles A. Sailie, speaking for the Kenai Community Clinic Assoc.
says they have fallen behind in payments to the bank and they see no
way of saving the property. The deed allows the building and land
to revert to the original donor if payments are not made or if the
building is not used as a clinic for a 12 month period. The last
Dr, was in attendance in Sept. of 164, The Association owes about
$3,000 to the Bank, $400 to KCL and insurance amounts to approximatel;
$670 a year, though the latter has been paid for one year. Monthly
payments are $32.0. Sallie asks if the City can help on this problem.
Efforts are still being made to get a Dr. --the City's name has been
placed with the Medical Placement Bureau, but a general practitioner
is hard to find. Even a part-time Dr. from Anchorage would help re-
lieve the situation. Thus far, the building has been used only as
a clinic since its construction. Mr. Killen, the original owner, say;
he doesn't want the premises --he is only interested in having a Dre
and a Clinic and as long as &a effort is being made to do this he
would not consider taking over the property. Council agreed the City
should have a clinic but was aware some citizens might not be in
favor of using General Funds to under -write the operation and mteoe
of one. After much discussion, McCann moved, Morin seconded, the
Council adopt its plan for settlement to loan the Kenai Clinic Asso-
ciation money to pay its back debts plus all approved debts for a
period not to exceed 12 months from this date subject to Mr. Killen's
recognizing this as a valid second mortgage and a debt of the Hospita
Board. Motion passed unanimously by roll call votes
Resolution 065-23 Requesting an increase in ASHA financing under con-
tract 701 planning to cover cost of materials requested by the City
was presented by the City Manager. After discussion, McCann moved,
Morin seconded, to adopt Res. 065-23, Motion carried unanimously by
roll c411 vote. Total cost for 500 copies of the large maos and extr,
copies of colored maps is $1865 - $621,67 is the City's share, of
which $236,33 must be In; cash and $383,34 may be in services.
Harrison reported proposals are in from Yukon Equipment and Carring-
ton Co. on a back -hoe. With consent o�qV CqF the Ci will adver-
ties for sealed bids for a steam bode w 1/2 TtNtruck for KCL.
Galliett will confer with Lyons on tools parts for W&S to be
ordered.
The City Manager presented a plan whereby the City can participate
In the National Youth Corps Program - the State furnishes the money,
and the City furnishes supervision for putting youths to work.
McCann moved, Moring ooconded, to participate in the NYCP. Motion
carried unanimously.

The Administration will set up n public hearing on transfer of Liq-
uor License from Navarre to Carr.
During the City Mgr.'s visit to HHFA offices in Seattle, they advised

for advance planning for 1. A tie-in for power, 2. One system.
3. Extension of W&3 to the high school and to the terminal building,
and A. a Civic Center and Library. Motion passed unanimously.
_` peaid Allan Petersen is a member of the Governor's Advisory
Board on Tourism which moots in Fairbanks soon. He suggested Council
might went to help on Mr. Petersen's expenses for the trip as this
could be of importance to this area to have a representative from
here. Morin moved, McCann seconded, to pay Mr. Petersen's round trip
plane fare to Fairbanks. Passed unanimously.
Council adjourned for half an hour to consider A. L. Hudson's letter
of resignation .
Reconvening at 1 a.m. it was decided to keep this matter under advise

i

long and earnestly to keep the City operating these past S years.
Tentative plans were made to hold a Memorial Dinner Saturday, July
31st for these dedicated people.
