I said we had no one available. He informed me FAA would foot the bill, so I contacted John Coveyou, and he worked for them Tues. thru Fri. - 32 hrs. THEN Friday Mr. Matson comes in the office and says FAA will pay 5/8 the of the cost and would need Coveyou two or three weeks more. I cancelled all arrangements to use Coveyou as we have no money budgeted for this; told Mr. Idatsen Council would have to act. As it stands now the City's share for the 32 hours is $24.00. If Council wants Coveyou to work May 9 to 24, the City's share will be $72.00 more.

Mr. Dick Williams and Carl Ahlst rom requested an approval from Council to proceed with Final Plat for Black Gold Estates Subdivision with the stipulation that the Final Plat contain a provision that no lots will be sold in Blocks 1, 7 or 8 which border on the Military Road, until the Army gives access to the individual lots or until the Plat is revised to give a 40' access road from inside the subdivision to said lots. Council agreed to this arrangement. Don Bailey, Union Oil Agent, questioned Council regarding removal of buildings at Airport from the West to East side of the strip. He is contemplating purchase of the holdings of Aviation Services, but wants to avoid the expense of moving buried tanks, etc. if possible. Council informed him land use of Airport is under the authority of FAA, but the City will have some jurisdiction; however, it is impossible to say now what that land use will be. Roger Meeks requested 3 to 4 loads of gravel in a 30' bad spot in the road by his house and place of business. tie doesn't want the grader on it; will spread the gravel with hand shovel. Sims moved, Morgan seconded, the City fix peninsula Ave. with gravel. Motion passed. Stan Thompson reported on status of isomer-Ninilchik Petition. Clerk had received phone call from icon Cease, Director of Local Affairs Agency, Juneau, and had unofficial word the petition will be rejected. Mr. Cease said it would be announced next week. lie suggested the petition for Kenai Recording District Borough would most likely receive the same negative response. Council seemed of the opinion to proceed with securing signatures; that an appeal to the Superior Court would uphold the City in its en- deavor, providing a sufficient number of signatures are obtained for the petition. Council felt reasons should be given for rejection of a petition: it was pointed oiit if the Kenai Recording District cannot support a Borough, the obvious correlary is that Election Districts 9 and 10 certainly could not. Minutes of the last meeting were approved. Correspondence was read: Mr. Morin notified Council of discontinuance of dog pound services at the termination of his contract 1 January, 1964. fie suggested Mr. Coveyou might be interested. Clerk will make available dog pound contract to \Ir. Coveyou for i his perusal. f Kenai City Council Minutes 9 May 1963 Page two Attorney was not present for a report, but Clerk presented contract, okayed by him, between Lease Co., Inc. and the City for construction of Kenai Central cligh School.

Mr. Tum Suden cannot handle the work of repairing the City grader ( acquired from State surplus). Mr. Harold Jackson will be contacted for a firmer commitment.
