City wishes to purchase it. (Tank is used to hold heating oil for St. Dept.
Office.) McCann moved, Lofstedt seconded, to buy Doyle's 300 gal. tank for $75.00.
Passed unanimously.
Ron Theil's progress report on W&S shows the 1111FA portion 35% complete and USPIiA
part 29% complete.; construction on well -house N1 started today; urged immediate
application for W&S connections, av least on Main St., prior to graveling; Penin-
sula Ave. is also ready for hook-ups; Seaman's Furniture Store, Four-plex, etc.,
wants W&S and Theil says this is possible if the City wants to make a change order
for 10" sewer line instead of 8"; the problem here is grading --the line is 18'
deep --the Kenai Development Assoc. will want service also; Theil will submit a
change order to H11FA for Lice 10" line; Theil, with Council's concurrence will
withhold a PLI-tion of the contractor's request for payment (next time) until
some of the clean-up work is accomplished, lines are tested, and the
back -filling is done according to schedule. A letter to this effect
will be directed to the contractor, with a copy to Clay Lyons. Theil
will get a proposal to Council on payments in lieu of assessments
for W&S users.
John Coveyou inquired about getting the loader from Lower Tonsina
to Kenai --Joe Kuchta says the Air National Guard can bring the machine
from Gulkana if we can get it tb that point. Mayor Dye will try to
i arrange this. John will go to Homer tomorrow to see about getting
the snow plow, etc.
Joe Kuchta introduced the problem of inspection and mtce. of the
ii garbage Dump: He will see about getting the D-4 at Unalakleet for
clean-up purposes; he will also ascertain the degree of use of the
dump by Cronce with a view to charging him a fee commensurate with
such use. Kuchta also will unddrtake supervision of the dumping
and will "compartmentize" the area. He suggests the City's $1200
a year go toward paying for clerical help in the Health Office
rather than on a contract with the State Dept. of Health --McCann
moved, Meeks seconded, to cancel the contract with the Dept. of
Health and use the $100 a month for clerical help in the Health
Office in Kenai. Motion passed unanimously.OKuchta also requested
building permits go thru the Health Office so as to allow a firmer
check on wells, septic tanks, etc.; (Copies are being sent to him
' as of a month ago.); Mrs. Swires will undertake acquisition of
,! W&S applications.
Minutes of the last meeting were approved.
Correspondence was discussed: Meyer's letter re Bonding and his
impending visit on 22 July --Council will meet with him at Tide's Inn
at 5:30 p.m.; letter from Cliff Carr resigning from the Planning
