Meeting called to order at 8:30 p.m.; roll call showed all members present but Lofstedt. With consent of Council, the Order of Business was changed to accomodate Mrs. Lancashire, present for the Hearing on Transfer of Liquor License--Larry's Night Club. Meeting was opened to public hearing on transfer: L.H.Lancashire, d/b/a Larry's Night Club, to L.H. hnd.:Hloiesnce T. Lancashire. Mrs. Lancashire stated Tony Bordanelli signified he would appear before Council to protest the transfer until a contract could be signed making her co -responsible with L.H. Lancashire on purchase of the former Jet Bar. Bordanelli was not present; Morin moved, Meeks seconded, contingent on Bordanelli's approval of the contract, the transfer of liquor license be approved. Roll call: Affirmative -Cone, McCann, `4eeks, Morin, Swires; Negative -None. Jerry Heier, Kenai Boro Assessor, addressed Council: panted to get acquainted and let the City know what they were doing, how the program was working, etc. He introduced Don Thomas who is Assessor for the Kenai area. They have been working with the City's prop- erty cards and expresssed a wish to remove these cards from the City files. Council, Clerk and audience protested this move. Speakers from the floor were: Stan Thaapson, Doris Swires,s* ' Catherine Malone, and Harold Galliett--the latter pointed out the cards could be duplicated for around $200. For the time being, the Assessors will work from the City cards, and will have them duplicated at a later date. Heier answered many questions from Council and audience: inventories will be taxed as of Jan 1, and bills will be sent at end of June; can the City make payments to the Boro for exemptions within the City? the Boro Act signifies such can be done --if the City can afford it; how can boats from Outside be taxed when they are not present in Alaska on 1 Jan? They can't. Planning and zoning discussed some, but this is outside the assessing field; the standard for assessment is based on location of property, market value and relation to values in the rest of the Boro; homesteads vs. small tracts discussed; at least one hearing of Board of Equalization will be held in each of the Cities represented on the Boro. Stan Thompson presented an amended contract from Roguszka which would extend the expiration date to 31 October 1965--a twelve months extension. After discussion on need, rate, etc., McCann moved, Morin seconded, to extend Roguszka's contract to 31 Oct 1965. Roll call vote passed it unanimously. Thompson says everything for the lighting system is here but the transformers --hope to have lights by Saturday. He will stay with the Airport Comm. until Carl Seaman recovers from his indisposition. Harold Galliett reported: Well house 91 is almost completed --and not much to do on 92, says the City should request a schedule of completion; he doesn't know how long Thiel should be kept available; the paper work is about done; lines need to be flushed and chlorinated, though that will be hard to do now with the weather so cold --Ed Evans says the system should all be done by Christmas. Evans, Thiel, Gall.iett and Caughran Sec. will meet in Anchorage teaidrrow and should have a final reckoning by Friday. Some dis- cussion on purchase of equipment, use of W&S monies--Galliett will review the entire budget and make his recommendations. Thiel presented a partial payment estimate for 97% of the job; he says HHFA (Doyle) wants a copy of all the bills for the audit, also needs a copy of all correspondence concerning retaining monies (between lawyer, Clerk and Bank.), wants the name of thd.CPA doing the audit for USPHS. There was some discussion of the maintenance of the lift station --Evans says the contractor will handle this. There was some discussion re liquor license for the Trophy Room. Clerk will post notices of continuation of hearing, and publish once in Anchorage paper. Norman Mapes will man- age the Bowling Alley. Hearing will be held 16 Dec. at Council meeting. 6: g .. Council Minutes 9 Dec 64 page two Ken Jordan talked with Council re roof -leaks in New Hi School; shortfall of revenue monies --says a decision will have to be made by the 15th of the month. Jordan will see Leroy the Roofer about an inspection. The Attorney reported the Shortfall of Revenue Report was Trailed at 11 a.m. Tuesday (8th). He pointed out our estimates were based on evaluation of property. The City's assumption is that the land would stay about the same with some increase in buildings --but the Boro is changing this; Land is increasing along with buildings (new construction, etc.). Shortfall will have to be rockoned on the City's figures. He will prepare a narrative to follow up the report. This will explain to some extent what we do with the monies. He will prepare the resolution re the Street assessment district; also an ordinance empower- ing the Boro to assess and collect City taxes. Minutes of the last meeting were approved. Joe Shaw, ASHA, will be here Saturday. Clay Lyons reported: A meeting will be held in Anchorage to organize all City -owned utilities --Coin moved, McCann seconded, Clay Lyons be designated to attend the meeting, and the Clerk write him he is oing only as an observer. Passed unanimously. The Planning Commission will make recommendations regarding street design, naming them, etc. Clerk reported: application for games of chance and skill for Russian Church. Cone moved, Swires seconded, to approve the games of chane permit for the Russian Church. Passed unan. Clerk will pay the CPA for work done on Wf,S project--Caughran's books. $11.400 of the Shortfall money will be placed in the School Bond Redemption Fund. Clerk will write Caughran re Galliett's recommendation to request a schedule of completion on W&S project. Tom Smythe of ASHA says the City needs a letter of justification why the North Road should follow the coast line. Stan Thompson submitted such a letter several years ago. Div. of Highways expects to announce a decision on Turnagain Crossing soon. C.E. Steen will be here next week re roads, bridge, etc. Swires moved, Morin seconded, Ordinance #75 be accepted on first reading. (Increasing the no. of liquor licenses --Royal Redoubt.)
