There would be a time limit for putting up the building. for. Killen was informed the City had no funds for such a project now, but inquired if he would consider construction of a Civil Defense shelter; funds for that are available, and the structure would furnish a good foundation for another bldg. in the future.

A Mr. Kobt. Matsen of Airports Division, FAA and Mr. R. L. Thiel of State Div. of Aviation met with Carl Seaman and Stan Thompson, Airport Commission in Clerk's office 3 :larch. Mr. Matsen said there are two ways to go about getting the airport land: 1. thru GSA, Sec. 13, Surplus Property Act, 2. th ru Federal Airport Act, Sec. lb. Homer airport was acquired by the State by method #2, and the Juneau Airport by method #1; #1 would apply more to Kenai than v2. Mr. Matsen said the City might sell land not used for airport purposes before clear title was turned over; also there was a possibility the City might acquire the gravel permit now used by the FAA as there would be no need in FAA having it if the City takes over mtce. of the roads. Mr. Hansen also said the City doesn't have to have title to participate in Fed. aid; all that's needed is letter of commitment from BLM to FAA and the Fed. monies will be avail- able for construction. fie and Mr. Thiel were in Kenai to inspect the airstrip and said there were bad frost heaves in the middle of the run -way. Mr. Seaman and Mr. Thompson agreed the thing to do was to call Mr. Strandberg --however, later they talked with the Mayor and Atty. and decided Mr. Thompson would call Rep. Tillion. Atty. was absent so no report. Council reviewed Dr. Chas. Spencer's questionairre and Mr. Knackstedt moved, McCann seconded, all answers on Spencer's Code questions be 'yes'. Motion passed. Mr. McCann moved, Knackstedt seconded, the ordinance re water and sewers in subdivisions be removed from the table. Motion passed. Mr. McCann presented Ord. #44 for first read- ing and moved its adoption. Motion was seconded, open for discussion by Council and the public, and was passed. Mr. Morgan moved, McCann seconded, Trans -Alaska Tel. Co. be granted permission to hook- up with Homer Electric Association for standby power. Motion passed. Mr. McCann moved, Swires seconded the City of Kenai make application for the land used as a cemetery. Motion passed. Mr. McCann moved, Swires seconded, the ord. re National Electric Code be removed from the table. Passed. Council expressed dissatisfaction with the proposed ordinance as it would prohibit a man from wiring his rental houses, even though he might be a licensed electrician in another State --it also required the services of an inspector and was too detailed in general. Mr. Knackstedt moved, Swires seconded, the Atty. be instructed to draft a simple ordinance adopting the National Electric Code. Motion passed. ** Mr. Morgan moved, Knackstedt seconded, the City contact the Receiver for Kenai Power i Corp. notifying him the City ret-- stc a new, efficient manager be appointed for Kenai Power.

Council minutes 3/0/63 Page three Mr. Stan Thompson arrived and stated he had just talked with Rep. Tillion in Juneau. Said our chances of petting the $400,000.00 appropriation for the Airport for this year did not look good; that the only chance was to get it inserted directly in the budget; that perhaps part of the money could be had this year and part next, or that might have to wait until next year for all of it. ktr. Morgan moved, Swires seconded, the Juneau trip for the Mayor and another Councilman be authorized. Motion passed. Clerk was instructed to write Maj-Gen. Carroll informing him of the City's attitude re the Nationa Guard Unit and that the City had offered a tract of land for a head- quarters site.
