KENAI CITY COUNCIL MINUTES -
Roll tali at 8:05 showed all members present.
8 JANUARY 1964
Mr. Stan Thompson informed Council the Airport Commission recommended advertising for
bids for gravel for Airport Construction in one of three ways: 1. By separate contract,
2. By General Contract, 3. By Stockpiling. Council and Mr. Thompson decided the first
method would be the best. Bids will be advertised this week for a three week period. T
The main contract should be advertised about 15 Feb. Considerable discussion was held on
gravel, rds. to the proposed gravel site the City is applying for in the Moose Range, etc.
Mr. Morgan moved, Knackstedt seconded, to authorize the Airport Commission to advertise for
bids. Motion passed unanimously.
Mr. Thompson also asked if land would be available for reconstruction of Ft. kenay if the
City is able to get funds for this project. Council assured him land would be provided.
Mr. Roguszka will request money of HHFA for advance planning on sub -dividing and planning
land use for Airport property. Mr. Thompson suggested another route to follow might be to
have a National Park instituted for the Old Fort, etc.
Mr. 0. Strandberg informed Council he had received the letter from the City re his contract,
and that he, as President of Consolidated Utilities, Ltd., could assure Council CUL will be
able to provide 2100 K11 next winter and CUL can carry Wildwood and the City load by 1 June,
1964. The new unit is due in April; Interties with REA on a stand-by basis are impossible.
He hopes within a month to have completed a study and survey of his own and will confer with
Mr. Crinklaw on interties. He dlso will have to re -finance his own organization. This re-
port will be submitted in letter form.
On the job for the school, Mr. Strandberg stated he was given a certain area to conduct bor-
ing tests; later, the School was moved out of the test -hole area, with the exception of
one boring. He will get out a report in 10 days, but right now, in his opinion additional
compensation to Lease Co. is not justified.
Mayor Dye conferred with Mr. Lease, and acting on decisions and recommendations of the
School Board, he signed a paper stating the window flashing was all right with the City.
Mr. Wm. Wells inquired as to the status of the Water and Sewer bids? What would happen if
the low bidder is unable to furnish a performance payment -bond? Mr. Galliett had said an
extension of time, and additional monies wuld be requested from HHFA, and possibly neg-
otiations with the next low bidder would enable the City to continue with the projects.
Mr. Don Olson, of Bush Lanes, Inc. was present in the audience, and in order not to keep
I( him waiting too long, Council consented to a change in order of business to consider a
policy regarding the ABC Board's approval of renewal of the liquor license for Bush Lanes
without receiving a recommendation from the City. It was Council's opinion, the ABC BoarA
might have assumed our silence meant consent, and in the rush of last minute applications.
had given approval to Bush Lanes without checking on the City's past correcpondence which
listed business that had been approved, but did not list those yet to be PP
} given approval.

1. Govn't., 2. Civic Affairs, 3. Cultural Affairs; lie had reed. notice the City's
case with Kenai Packers was scheduled for next week, but he will ask for an extension as
he needs more than a week to secure witnesses, etc. The Master report shows Kenai Packers
owes $279.00 dollars to the City even if it finds in -favor of Kenai Packers, but if the
decision upholds the City's Ordinance, Kenai Packers owes the City an additional $1900.00;
in regard to 1962 tax foreclosures, Council wishes to follow procedures and timing similar
to foreclosure of 1961 taxes. Re Service Area application -the Public Service Commission

has *grandfather rights' within the City --in addition, the PSC would not approve any
blanket area, as' applications must follow existing electric lines, more or less; the
