Steiner reported many of the students were very discouraged that the school was unwilling to support the project. Frates noted the students would be building one unit but it just wouldn't be available for the city's use. It was reported Representative Mike Chenault was very interested in the skateboard project and Would be meeting with city officials soon to discuss it. Councilwoman Porter suggested a meeting with the parents be scheduled as well to determine whether there will be support from them for the project. A lengthy discussion ensued regarding a location for the skateboard park. Frates recommended it be temporarily located at the south side of the Recreation Center, along the gym. In this location, the program could be better monitored, would be close to the police and fire departments, and the Teen Center snack bar would be accessible. Frates made it clear the skateboard park would not be supervised but it would be monitored. MOTION: Commissioner Gifford MOVED to recommend the skateboard park be temporarily "located at the Teen Center. Student Representative Steiner SECONDED the motion. 'There were no objections. SO ORDERED. ITEM 6: NEW BUSINESS Discussion- Kenai Multipurpose Facility/Refrigeration Alternatives and Considerations. Frates referred to a memorandum included in the meeting packet discussing various refrigeration alternatives and considerations for the multipurpose facility. Discussion took place on commercial versus industrial systems and what may work best for the facility. Discussion took place on the City buying out the LLC. Councilwoman Porter commented it had been discussed and would eventually happen. Commissioner Sandahl stated he believed buying out the LLC should be a top priority. Discussion -- Inlet Woods Subdivision Lots Frates drew attention to the memorandum from Kdm Howard {distributed at the beginning of the meeting) reporting a request that had been made asking if Lots 18-27 in Inlet Woods Subdivision could be made available for sale. The Parks Commission PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION MEETING MARCH 1, 2001 PAGE 2 was asked to review the lots in question and to determine whether they believed the lots are needed for public purpose or if they could be sold. A lengthy discussion ensued regarding whether or not the lots were needed for public purpose. Frates reminded the Commission that a motion was made on the issue on January. 6, 2000 that stated any lots deemed unsuitable for building as a result of swampy area, should be recommended for use as a neighborhood park. Much discussion took place at that time with regard to the exact location of the low area and where the pond was situated. Frates pointed out the map included as Exhibit A accurately reflected exactly where the pond and low area was situated. It was noted that it was the corner lots the Commission considered for a park.' Frates reported the Public Works Manager indicated there was a lot of junk in that area. Porter asked if it was Mr. Hall who was interested in purchasing the lots and Frates confirmed that it was. Porter reported Hall had submitted a request to purchase 56 lots in the back of Inlet Woods Subdivision and had already submitted his earnest money. Porter thought the appraisal of the properties would be coming received soon. ?rates also drew attention to the black area on the map (~xhibit A) which is a very low area and the drainage from the swamp runs into that area. Frates added, in the summer that particular area would be full of water and it freezes over in the winter. Frates continued, the Public Works Manager indicated the area would never be filled back in as that drainage is required. With that in mind, Frates asked the Commission if a piece of playground equipment or a park should be located next to the pond. MOTION' Commissioner Sandahl MOVED to recommend Lots 18-27 in Inlet Woods Subdivision be made available for sale. Commissioner Castimore SECONDED the motion. VOTE: Baxter Castimore Wisniewski Absent Yes Yes Gifford Steiner No No Sandahl Hultber§ No Absent MOTION FAILED. Porter confirmed that it was the recommendation of the Parks and Recreation Commission that the lots not be sold. Sandahl stated that was correct. Discussion continued and Steiner noted that an area like that would have a lot of mosquitoes. Wisniewski stated the area almost looked like a gravel pit. Castimore suggested Hall might want those lots in order to backfill them and added, the overburden from that area would be buried and not hauled off to the dump. Castimore thought the lots should be sold. PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION MEETING MARCH 1,2001 PAGE 3 Discussion again took place on the number of lots that Hall requested to purchase. Porter noted the original number was 56 but that had increased with the lots being discussed. Wisniewski asked if Hall would even consider setting aside an area for a park in that area. Frates stated that he didn't know and Sandahl suggested Frates have the City Engineer have a recommendation for Council in terms of potentiaI problems in that particular location. It was noted the issue would go to Planning and Zoning and then to Council, so many factors would be considered. Porter noted she would find out why Hall wants the lots. Councilwoman Porter drew attention to Lots 8 and 12 which were also discussed in the memo. The Commission Was asked to determine whether or not those lots could be sold or if they were required for public purpose During discussion it was noted those lots were not needed for public purpose. MOTION' Commissioner Castimore MOVED to recommend Lots 8 and 12 be made available for sale. Commissioner Sandahl SECONDED the motion.

Commission Chair- Wisniewski stated consideration should be given to rebuilding and relocating the recreation facility within the next five years and that perhaps the new facility could be located by the multipurpose facility. Discussion took place on the needs of the growing community and the benefits of having a new facility. It was suggested this item be added to the five-year plan. Frates was asked to have a list of items for review at the next meeting. 7-b. Director-- Director Frates reported the following items' · The Volunteer Reception would be held in April, however, a specific date had not been set.

November 8, 1989 17B1- lgB1 CITY OF KENAI 210 flDALGO KENAI, ALASKA gN11 ~HONE 2~ - 7535 ,.~ F~ ~7-2~3014 TO: Beautification Committee Chairman and Members FROM: John J. Williams ~ Mayor ~ I had fully intended to attend your meeting of Nov. 14, 1989. However, City business finds me elsewhere. Council has asked that I address the issue of the Beautification Committee's responsibilities and the chain of command as to their reporting to Council and Parks & Rec Commission. It is my understanding that the Beautification Committee was established originally and continues to be a sub-committee of the Parks & Rec Commission. There has been a great deal of concern from the Parks &"'Rec Commission regarding areas of responsibility and Beautification Committee's recommendations, especially as it pertains to the most recent recommendations involving the Lawton Drive Strip and the Kenai Municipal Park. First of all let me address the issue of 'the Lawton Drive ~ Strip and the present clearing of that area. As most of you know,, much of that strip lies within the 300 ft. right-of-way that will be undergoing reconstruction for a four lane highway sometime in 1991/1992. Also it has been a standing order by the Council for a very long time that "~' nothing be done to disturb the buffering nature of the strip as it protects the adjoining neighborhoods from sound encroachment from the highway. This, of Course, will become a major factor of importance when the new highway is built. Council also wishes to make known the fact that any decision regarding overnight parking and camping in the Municipal Park will rest with the Council and that issue has not been discussed by them at this point. With regard to chain of command (so to speak) the Kenai Parks & Rec Commission is the lead commission for these two additions, alterations, modifications or future plans regarding any and all physical changes to the lands, camping or to the improvement or'-abandonment of parks, properties, equipment and facilities must be dealt with by the Parks & Rec Commission. The Parks & Rec Commission is charged with this responsibility because of the need to control their budget, plan for future expenditures, allocate personnel to job assignments and in general have the final say as to what happens with regard to parks. ~ The Beautification Committee will continue the good work that they have done in the past with regard to recommendations or changes and additions or deletions to the City beautification program, but always with the understanding that these recommendations must funnel through the Parks & Rec Commission prior to being presented to the City Council. SO as to not confuse the issue i" I ha%e be~h"'~irected by..~' COuncil to dispatch this letter to both the Commission and the Committee. If there is any confusion still remaining between the Parks & Rec Commission and the Beautification Committee as to their responsibilities in their respective areas, please develop a memorandum to the Council for discussion. - " ._ Best regards. - ......... i.~ ~ ' _. ~.

The reason being that any cc: ....Parks & RecreatiOn c~mmisSion .l BICENTENNIAL TO: Council Members City of Kenai CITY OF KENAI 210 Fidalgo Avenue 'Kenai, Alaska 99611 TE[.EP~O~ 283-7535 F~X 907-283-3014 _ .. . · . . .. FROM.' John J. Williams, Mayor City Of Kenai DATE- June 14, 1991 RE: BEAUTIFICATION COHHI~EE As indicated to you at the June 5, 1991 Council Meeting, Clerk Freas has researched the history of the Beautification Committee. I requested Carol to do a complete search of the minutes to determine the beginning and inception of the Beautification~ Committee. The documentation provided to me by Carol (which was double checked by her) indicates that on July 7, 1982 a discussion was heard between Tim Wisniewski and the City Council with regard to establishing a Beautification Commission, not a committee. Mr. Wisniewski added at the end of the discussion, "They will not be happy with just cleaning up, they would like a budget." The next reference to the Beautification Committee happens in the January 19, 1983 minutes when Recreation Director McGillivray stated, "There will be a meeting, on January 24 of the Beautification Committee." The remaining minutes checked thoroughly through September 4, 1984 do not reveal any indication that the City Council or the Mayor actually and officially established any subcommittee of the Recreation Commission or any commission or committee that is now known to be the Beautification Committee. The apparent implication here is that the Beautification Committee has been a quasi-unofficial committee of citizens nominated by themselves to serve the City of Kenai, and dependent upon the Mayor, with approval of Council, to continue their extensions through additional appointments throughout the years. -1- Unless there are other minutes after September 5, 1984 that we- are unaware of that would have made them an authorized committee, we are dealing with a situation that includes volunteer status without official designation. It would appear in viewing the minutes of SePtember 5, 1984 that the Committee considered itself officially seated as Councilwoman Bailie makes reference to the Committee in requesting to plant mature trees in the downtown area. Councilwoman Bailie then goes on with her comments by .saying the Committee would.like to ~be ..a~.~ commission. However' Mayor Wagoner asked for time to review the' request. To the best of our knowledge, committee/commiSSion status was never giVen, 'and the apparent implication as. stated previously, is that the Beautification Committee does not have a legal ~xist~nc~ with r~gard to official sanction by th~ Council or Mayor. I request your directive in proceed with welcome your suggestions. .. -2- KEN~ C~TY COUNCIL HEETING H~NUTEB P~.GE 10 and the Parks & Recreation Department figure out what to do. Brighton is-' concerned that. if-inju~r is sustained due to placemen~ of poles, etc., the City will be liable. " Mayor Williams suggested that when a driver of a vehicle is cited and prosecuted, that a higher fine be given, plus the vehicle should be confiscated. Student City Manager Swarner suggested that they, as students, could go back to their school and make an effor= a2 school to pass on the word as to the destruction being made by the use of four-wheelers, three-wheelers, and trucks on the sand dunes and bluff. B-2 · Gerry Sparks Ms. Sparks is the Chairperson of the Beautification Committee. Sparks stated that the funding to place the remaining sidewalks in the Memorial Park has been deleted from the budget four times. At this time, there are approximately nine spaces left in the park. Sparks is aware of three more spaces that will be purchased in the near future. Sparks s=ated that the sidewalks need to be placed now. Sparks also suggested that an article can be placed in the paper informing the citizenry of the park. Many people, new in the area, may not be aware of the park or how to place a living memorial there. · Mrs. Sparks also stated that the City Flag was developed by the Beautification Committee and the Parks & Recreation Commission. There were five flags distributed for placement. At this time, the City flags are being used only at the Fire and Police stations. There has not. been any official dedication, no public acknowledgement, or article in the paper. Sparks would like a dedication of the flag. Student Councilwoman Forbes suggested flying the flag at the Bicentennial building. Sparks stated that the building will not be completed before the year is over. Mayor Williams stated that it was his responsibility to dedicate the flags and he neglected to do so. Swarner stated that the flag has been available for flying at City Hall for some time. Swarner would like the flag flying. It was stated by Clerk Freas that the VFW is planning a Memorial Day program. Mayor Williams is to discuss the dedication of the flag during a portion of that program. KENAI CITY COUNC'rL MEETINC~ HINUTE8 MaY 15 PAGE Tim Wisniewski - Stated that he chaired the committee which designed the park. Wisniewski strongly urged that the park be completed before other parks are started. Wisniewski stated that from his experience through his business, the park and living memorials are important to people. Wisniewski urged Council to complete the park this year. ITEM C: pUBLIC HF2tRIN~S Ordinance No. 1431-91 - Replacing .the Table's Referred to in the Personnel Regulations (Title 23) to Establish a New Salary Structure by Grade and New Hourly Rates for Part-Time Employees. MOTION: Student Councilwoman Forbes MOVED for adoption of Ordinance No. 1431-91 and Student Councilwoman Hogg SECONDED the motion. There were no public comments. Student Councilwoman Forbes asked what the cost of living is this year. City Manager Brighton stated that it was 7% in Anchorage and 6.5% in the western United States.

Councilwoman Swarner stated that she prefers the City stay with the Petratrovich design. ' U-4 · Library* Commission Councilwoman Monfor stated that the minutes of the last meeting were included in the packet. There is a letter from the Library Commission included with the Library monthly report regarding Sunday operation hours. Monfor requested that an amendment to the budget ordinance be brought to the next meeting for action regarding Sunday Library hours beginning in September. There was concurrence of Council. D-Se Parks & Recreation Commission Parks & Recreation Director McGillivray stated that the minutes to their last night's meeting were distributed to Council at the beginning of.the meeting. Councilwoman Monfor requested that changes be made to the Beautification Committee meeting minutes regarding the purchase of banners. The minutes should reflect-' that the Council chose to purchase the banners. Also, the statement that additional sidewalks for the Memorial Park being -taken out of the budget should reflect that their was no money budgeted for sidewalks. Also, that Councilwoman Monfor did not request that the sidewalk monies be removed. Mayor Williams requested from Administration that a memorandum be brought to the next meeting in regard to budget changes. The memorandum should state how the amendments will affect the budget. Finance Director Brown stated that he intends to present a work paper which will itemize a motion for each budget amendment request. A fiscal note will also be included as to how the budget will be affected. Council may then go down the list and make their motions and discuss, pass, or fail. At this time Brown believes there will be five amendments. If Council has any more requests, they should inform him of requests. Brown stated that there will'be a change in regard to the fire truck refurbishing. An error was made in an amount quoted. The error equals approximately $20,000. Councilwoman ~warner stated that the Beautification Committee discussed at their last meeting their top priorities for this year. Swarner listed cleaning up Old Town; flowers; painting of KEI~ CITY COUNCIL HEETING MINUTES. I~Y 15~ 1991 P~E ~- 3 lines on the street; more care t° the area at the Mt. Redoubt sign; a .new Mt. Redoubt sign; cleaning up the beach; more streets swept; and removing of dirt from corners. HOTZON: Councilman Measles MOVED to sunset the Beautification Committee and Councilman McComsey SECONDED the motion. Councilman Smalley stated that he believes the Committee means well. Councilwoman Monfor stated that she believes the Committee needs some new members. The Committee forgets they are a committee under the Parks & Recreation Commission. The Committee should make recommendations through the Commission and the Commission should, after discussion, bring their recommendations to the Council. r~ Clerk Freas is to produce a letter to the Committee which was written by Mayor Williams a few years ago delineating the . Committee' s responsibilities. Councilwoman Swarner stated that Page 3 (in the Commission's minutes) does not state what the Commission said. McGillivray stated that the items suggested by the Committee were discussed. P&R will look at the Mt. Redoubt sign. Further, the Commission did not believe these items would be needing to be brought to Council. The items can be handled within the Department. P&R recommended that Ms. Sparks speak to Council tonight. Councilman Walker stated that he did not believe the Committee was out-of-line with their suggestions and ideas. However, there is no funding or capability to do all they are requesting. Walker believes that P&R needs to decide their priorities. Walker believes the Committee is doing a good job. The Council's job is to say yes or no. Councilman Measles stated that the Council should never hear from the Beautification Committee. Councilman Smalley stated he agrees with Councilman Walker. Smalley suggested a letter go to P&R defining the Committee's responsibilities also. WITHDRAWAL OF MOTION: Councilman Measles stated that he will withdraw his motion for now. However, it was not a hasty 'decision to make the motion. Measles stated that he believed the Committee should have been sunsetted five years ago. McComsey withdrew his second. · , KENA~ C~TY cOuNC-TL MEETIN~ MINUTES MAY 3.5 · 3.993. Swarner suggested combining the Committee and Commission. Williams stated that they are two separate functions. The Committee needs to be under the control of the Commission. Williams will write a letter to both the Commission and Committee, cross-copying each with the letters. Measles suggested sending a copy of the Council minutes regarding this discussion with the letters. D-6, Pl&nninq & Zoning Commission Councilman Smalley stated that a memorandum regarding actions taken at the Commission's last meeting was included in the packet. A Conditional Use Permit was granted for a business on Beaver Loop and also for a sonar~site. A~ encroachment Permit for Nu-State Nursery and Flower Shop and AKHousing & Finance Corp. were granted. A variance for Nu-State Nursery and Flower Shop was denied. (Smalley explained the request with a drawing on the blackboard.) The Commission also reviewed and granted an application of the KBCVB for development in the TSH Zone. The P&Z Commission would like to set a work session with Council in~nediately following the Commission,s May 22, 1991 meeting. At-, that time the Comprehensive Plan would be reviewed and discussed. A work session was set for May 22, 1991 at 8:00 p.m. A copy of the Comprehensive Plan was distributed to the Council for review prior to the work session. City Manager Brighton stated that a letter was received from Ms. Judy Bittner regarding the TSH zone. Ms. Bittner stated that she would be available to discuss the zone with the Council and P&Z in a work session. Would Council like to discuss it at the same work session. Answer, no. Discuss the Comprehensive Plan at' this time as it is quite involved. There were no objections to setting a work session for Wednesday, May 22, 1991 at 8: 00 p.m. M~scellaneous Commissions and Committees No reports. KEN~'r C~TY COUNCIL HEET~NG H~NUTES ,~~E 5, 1991 the permit is approved. Walker added he is not prepared to pay $80,000. The question needs further study. Smalley and Monfor concurred. McComsey asked if administration could do anything. Williams stated that at the intergovernmental meeting, which City representatives attended, the City was viewed as an adversary. Williams stated that the legislature has appropriated $100,000 for a study to determine whether the Kenai River has reached the maximum use factor. Also the drift fishery and amount of motored boats/guides may make a difference. Williams suggested that perhaps Council should wait until the study is completed. The City should have a representative on the Kenai River Management Board to track the study. The closing of Cunningham Park was discussed briefly. Williams .stated that if they close Cunningham Park, they may not be able to reopen it.. Walker suggested that maybe it should be closed before someone gets seriously hurt. Williams suggested again that the project be put on the shelf for now and get a representative on the KRMB. Monfor stated that the representative needs to be someone that is a strong proponent. D-4, L~brar~ Commission Monfor stated that the summer reading program will begin June 10. There will be no Sunday hours.' Parks & Reoreation Commission McComsey stated there was no report. There was no meeting since the last council meeting. McGillivray stated that the ARCO/Jesse Owens Games were scheduled for June 29 at KCHS. The summer recreation program will also start June 10. This weekend there will be a men/women's softball tournament with 22 teams participating. .. ~Monfor reported to McGillivray and Police Chief Ross that there are tent campers in tho Forest Drive Park and on the F3~% field.

However, McGillivray stated that they will meet if there is an item to discuss. Williams asked Attorney Graves to review the Code to see if the RV parks can lawfully have tent camping.

Williams stated that the Parks & Recreation Commission are a certified commission by ordinance. The ordinance establishes the membership. Williams suggested it would be a stronger commission if they are combined. Brighton suggested giving the responsibility of the Beautification Committee to the Parks & Recreation Commission. Walker suggested that P&R have a subcommittee of their group. That would eliminate one committee. There would be less paperwork. Measles stated that he does not remember how the Committee was established. He believes the Council established the Committee under the Parks & Recreation Commission. Brighton suggested they wait and have the Parks & Recreation Commission discuss this and make a recommendation. Swarner withdrew her motion. Smalle¥ withdrew his second to the motion."

Williams stated that the work session would not be set as an official work KEKAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES ~ULY 3, 1991 PA~E 2 $ K&~O McOillivr~ commented: The Parks Dept. was not involved in. that meeting. There are some things about this proposal: 1) · Grassy area along the bluff - the Parks Dept. is not in favor of cutting trees and planting grass along the edge of the bluff, due to an erosion problem developing. There should be a buffer left there. If the buffer isn't there, then the view is~.~going to be the sewage treatment plant. Perhaps that particular grass area could be relocated or moved back. 2) Gates sealing off the camping areas are a problem. There are some tent campers with families that would have to carry-all of their gear from the parking area to the campsite. There are already parking pads in place. There should be no problem with allowing them to drive in, rather than sealing it off. 3) On the proposed sledding hill - will it require winter maintenance; will there be restroom availability; and if we advertise a sledding hill, we're immediately accepting a pretty good liability. The attorney should maybe look at this. W~lliams-said the group that the council asked to take a look at it has done their work and come up with a preliminary plan which should be submitted .back to the Parks & Rec Commission to take another look at it. MoComsey said there is a setback of trees on the bluff before the grassy area so that you can't see over the bluff, and we don~t have to call that a sledding hill.- just call. it a hill. D~6. Pl&nning & Zoning commission 8w&rner reported that Hal Smalley, the city manager and she were at the meeting last Wednesday night and afterwards discussed the comprehensive plan.

Sw&rnor mentioned the welcome sign being 9artially installed near Sterling. D-7. MXsoeX1aneous Commissions and Committees. Beautification Committee Minutes.

Regular Meeting of June 19, 1991. -. ~ Approved by Consent Agenda. ITEM F. cORRESPO~~CE None. ITEM G. OLD BUSINESS 1. D~soussion/Approval - Petition to Vacate Section Line · Easement within Lots 4-]%, 5-]% of Baron Wood Subdivision No. 2 and Lot 8 of Baron Wood Subdivision, Section 4; and within ~overnment LOt 2, Section 9, TSN, RllW, S;'M., C~t~ of Konai - .. _ The letter from Richard Troeger, Kenai Peninsula Borough Planning Director, advises the City has 30 days from June 17, 1991 to veto the decision of the platting authority. Public Comment- . Cl~ff Baker of Integrity survey representing the petitioners said I_.don't quite understand the council's objection to the vacation. At the time we reviewed this section line easement it doesn't' access city property or the only property it really accesses or goes through is the petitioners and also Dragnet and it stops'a~' Dragnet, it-'doesn't go through Dragnet. He' added that the Borough"s Planning Dept. staff comments approving this vacation indicate that sufficient right-of-ways have been dedicated to' surrounding properties; there is no objection by the D.O.T. from the borough, as the intersection location where the section line accesses Bridge Access Road is on a long curve and is not a desirable location for an intersection. The Baron Wood Subdivision No. 2 plat shows a cul de sac which was allowed to be vacated last year, which is basically in the same area and is accessed to a state maintained highway. Williams asked has the other side of the section line been vacated in Baron Wood Subdivision - this plat does not show it. Baker replied, no, this plat is trying to accomplish that for both sides. In fact, KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES APRIL 7, 1993 PAGE 7 MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED to send a letter of non-objection contingent on coming current on April 9, 1993.

There were no objections. SO ORDERED. MOTI ON: Purchase Orders Exceeding $1,000 Councilman Measles MOVED for approval of the purchase orders exceeding $1,000 and Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion. Councilman Bookey questioned the purchase of cellular phones. Chief Burnett stated the decision to purchase the phones is to better represent the City in a disaster or emergency situation. Burnett added it is more advantageous to use the phones, i.e. information is received and distributed directly, instead of by messages. This is a government package price at $4,500 for eight months, 15 phones at $310 per phone. The package also allows for 1,000 free minutes of use. Measles stated he expects they will. find it will be hard to use the 1,000 free minutes and may want to change packages to a business rate. Measles stated Tesoro started with a similar package and cut back to the economy package for that reason. Measles stated it 'may be something Burnett will want to review. VOTE: Councilman Smalley requested ~IHOUS CONSENT. There were no obi ections. SO ORDERED. H-.3 Discussion - Assignments of Councilmembers to Commissions. Assignments were made as follows: · Councilman Bookey - Harbor Commission Councilwoman Swarner - Council on Aging and Beautification Councilwoman Monfor - Library Commission Councilman Measles - Airport Commission Councilman Bannock - Parks & Recreation Commission Councilman Smalley - Planning & Zoning Commission Councilwoman Swarner requested other councilmembers consider being the' liaison for the Beautification Committee. Swarner KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 20, 1993 PAGE 17 ParSUggested a new perspective is n.eeded. Swarner also suggested ~he consolidation of the Beaut. ifJ.¢at, ion Committee with Parks & Recreation be considered. Swarner stated subcommittees of the ks & Recreation Commission could be used. Smalley stated he will continue serving on the Ice Rink Task Force. Williams stated the TSH Board will need members very soon, as well as a Sister-City Committee. H'4 · D~soussion- Appointments to Commissions. Williams referred to commission/committee applications included in the packet. A Planning & Zoning Commission seat is available, as well as Harbor Commission. Williams referred to the application of Bill Toppa, senior member of the Airport Commission who is requesting to be moved to Planning & Zoning. The application of Airport Commissioner Teresa Werner-Quade was also included in the packet. Werner-Quade also requested to be moved from the Airport Commission to Planning & Zoning. Williams stated a member will also be needed on the Airport Commission if Toppa or Werner-Quade is moved to Planning & Zoning. Swarner suggested all applicants complete the new application which asks for a statement why the person wants to be involved with the commission for which they are applying. Swarner also requested Council's consideration of combining the Harbor and Airport Commission and call it a Transportation Commission. Swarner stated she feels the City is over-commissioned. Williams stated combining the commissions had been discussed in the past. Because of different operations in the budget, it would be hard to combine them. Swarner referred to minutes of those commissions and stated it is hard for them to have quorums for the meetings. Smalley agreed with the idea to have the applicants complete the new application. Clerk Freas stated when commissions do not have a full membership, it is harder to have quorums for the meetings. Measles agreed and stated the longer Council postpones assigning commission members, it will be harder for to have quorums and more meetings are canceled. Bannock recommended Toppa to the Planning & Zoning Commission. Bannock added Toppa's views are similar to his and would support Toppa. Smalley referred to his time as a P&Z commission and ad hoc member, and suggested a woman's perspective is important.
