Meeting was called to order by Mayor Dye at 9:05 p.m. after study session
with the Planning Commission and Street Commission.
Roll call showed all members present but Mr. Carl Swanson.
Mr. George Naverre addressed the Council regarding the collection of gar-
bage. He objected to the refuse pit being opened only twice a week as he and some
of his fellow business men need to dispose of refuse daily. tie also requested that
Mr. Cronce pick up his refuse daily and suggested that these pickups be made at an
early hour in the morning. The question was raised as to the desirability of Cronce's
dumping Refuse collected in Soldotna in the Kenai pit.
Mr. Navarre reminded the Council of the decision to request proposals for
a gas franchise for Kenai and wondered what had been done :about it.
He also requested that the City Street Light by his place of business be
lighted and suggested the City should consider street lights being placed at other
places in town. In his opinion, this might be one way of the tax payer getting
something out of his tax dollar.
Minutes of the last meeting were read and approved.
Correspondence was read. A letter to the Fire Department was reviewed
iby Mr. Mullin, and the Clerk was instructed to get a copy of the proposed water
system and to verifax the last three pages of recommendations for Fire Dept. needs.
City Atty., Jas. E. Fisher, reported: 1. He thought it advisable to have
the Bush Lanes Atty. work with him in drawing up an ordinance for a zoning variance
in Sec. 25. He submitted one to the Council but was not at all sure if it was the
correct form. He had sent for copies of re -zoning ordinances but had not yet re-
ceived them. 2. He had presented a resolution regarding maintenance and disposal
of garbage according to the proposal of Mr. Cronce which had been accepted by Council.
,I 3. Copies of the legal steps necessary for declaration of taking were submitted as
per Council instructions.
j Mr. Frank Rowley was present and suggested two alternatives to court
action. 1. He might be able to take over the tap lines of HEA on Barabara Drive;
2. It might be possible to allow a temporary hook-up with HEA until such time as
Kenai Power could get lines to the area. Mr. Rowley also said he would like to
use Barabara Drive as a route to cross the Kenai River with power for Col. -Wards, etc.
_i
Mr. McGahan questioned the proposed Ordinance for zoning variance as it
was for Bush Lanes exclusively and Council had desired a variance for a 200' strip
on both sides of the road in Sec. 25 including lots 1 to 22, Block 1, B.L. Subdiv.
r, II
The Clerk reported: Mr. Vic Boerum had gravel ordered for his driveway
and it was mistakenly dumped on Walker Drive --he wondered if the City would assume
the charge as it was on the road recommended for gravel by the Street Commission;
Rev. Glick accepted the appointment to the Dock Commission; Chief Peavley had gone
to Anchorage and would contact Mayfield and Pfieffer regarding State contracts for
use of the City Jail; A letter from Mr. Oberts had said the insurance for the police
car covered the trips out of the City Limits on cmergencies; Next Wed. is Memorial
Day, will there be a meeting Does Council wish to amend Ord. 1 making it clear
that write-in candidates are allowed in municipal elections? Requested the return
of Police reports from last meeting; Wished Council to take action regarding the
t

recommendation of the Street Commission for gravel; a phone call from Mr. Brownell
of BLM stated four new requirements for purchase of land under R & PPA: 1. no re-
strictions as to race, color or creed, 2. Need a more elaborate development plan,
3. Proof of accreditation, 4. Recognize BLM's right to timber and gravel, etc. lie
said a letter would follow for Council action.
The Planning Commission desired instruction as to how to proceed in the
event an application for a building for a business was received in Bush Lane Subdiv.
Instructions were to approve the application (if all requirements were met) but
notify the builder to proceed at his own risk until the zoning variance ord. could
be passed.

ri-s for the grader. Also to find out the date of the meeting at Soldotna when Dir-
