KENAI CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS CHAIR MARII,YN DIMMICK, PRESIDING MINUTES ITEM 1' CALL TO ORDER/ia ROLL CALL- Chair Dimmick called the meeting to order at 7'05 p.m. Roll was taken and confirmed as follows: Present: AbSent: Others Present: Seymour, Nelson, Brown, Dimmick Rogers, Hett Councilwoman Swarner, Parks & Recreation Director Frates, Department Assistant Hams, Carol Bannock (Kenai Chamber of Commerce), Ricky Gease (Visitor and Cultural Center) ITEM 2: AGENDA APPROVAL The following items were added to the agenda: · 4-b' Carol Bannock-Kenai Chamber of Commerce. · 6-b: Cemetery gazebo. · 6-c: Final Cleanup. * 6-d: Kenai Chamber of Commerce request. There were no objections to the additions and the agenda was approved unanimously. ITEM 3: APPROVAL OF MINUTES -- August 13, 2002 MOTION: Member Brown MOVED to approve the minutes as presented and Member Nelson SECOI~ED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. ITEM 4: PERSONS SCHEDULED TO BE _HEARD 4-a. Rlcky Gease, Kenai Visitors/k Convention Bureau -- Concrete Planters Gease informed the Committee the trees planted in the concrete planters in front of the Center are not thriving and would benefit from relocating. Upon relocation, Gease informed the Committee of his desire for hearty shrubs and other lower growing plants to take their place. In the long term, perhaps interpretive panels or sculpture work could be placed throughout the area. Frates stated the trees and shrubs could be dug up and relocated on the next rainy day (a day when Parks & Recreation does not mow). Gease also informed the Committee of his desire to refurbish the old wooden boats near the Visitors Center. Carol Bannock stated the Kenai Football team is re-painting the Chamber of Commerce cabin and could possibly be assigned to help. MOTION: Member Seymour MOVED to recommend removing the trees and shrubs from the Kenai Visitor and Cultural Center to a more favorable location. Member Brown SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. 4-b. Carol Bannock -- Chamber of Commerce Bannock presented the Committee with a request to add 16 54' king salmon replicas to the concrete planters. Bannock stated the planters placed at intersections would be ideal due to the high level of visibility. The fish are part of the Chamber of Commerce "Hooked on Kenai' campaign and will be purchased by a company or individual. A local taxidermist will construct the salmon from Styrofoam molds which will then be painted to life-like similarity. Bannock stated the estimated cost of sponsoring a fish would be $450 and requested the actual installation and maintenance of the fish and beds in which they are placed be performed by the City of Kenai Parks & Recreation Department and the Beautification Committee. Bannock also stated the fish will be complete with w~ather resistant paint, a two-inch pipe support with a flat plate at the bottom, and a metal plate for the sponsor's name which will be mounted on the salmon. The following questions were asked and/or discussed- · Theft issues · Could the sponsoring businesses simply have the fish placed in front of their business instead of in a planter? · Could the fish be arranged into a "stream" formation along the Chamber cabin? · What are the exact dimensions' of the business signs/plaques which advertise who sponsored the fish? · Would the sponsoring businesses be responsible for any maintenance on the planters or the fish? · What specific planters would the Chamber be requesting first? · Would this be an on-going program? The Committee discussed how aspects of advertising could affect the virtue of the natural state of the planters. Additional time was spent on discussing whether or not the sponsoring business should be responsible for the overall maintenance and care of KENAI BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE SEPTEMBER 10, 2002 PAGE 2 the planters, and if so, would the City of Kenai provide plant material or require 'planting guidelines. ITEM 5- OLD BUSINESS-- None ITEM 6' NEW BUSINESS 6-a. Discussion -- Banners Frates informed the Committee of a request from the Kenai Chamber of Commerce for additional banners stating "Kenai Wild" as part of an advertising scheme to promote Cook Inlet salmon. As the Chamber budget will not support the purchase of these banners, the City of Kenai would be requested to purchase and maintain the banners. 6-b. Discussion -- Cemetery Gazebo Frates presented the Committee with a picture of the gazebo Frank Getty has requested permission to install at the Kenai Cemetery. The 12 foot gazebo will cost approximately $7,200.00 and will be paid for through donations. Frates stated the probable location of the gazebo would be in the area across from the water tank. The surrounding area will be improved to create footpaths linking to the gazebo. MOTION: Member Brown MOVED to recommend approval of the placement of a 12-foot g ..azebo at the area designated by the Parks and Recreation department. Member Seymour SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. Discussion -- Final Cleanup Committee members agreed to meet Sunday at 1'30 p.m. at the Kenai Fire Department to perform a final cleanup of flowerbeds. 6-d. Discussion -- Fish in Flowers The Committee further discussed the request from the Kenai Chamber of Commerce to place salmon in the concrete planters and concluded more information is needed before any decision could be made. This item was requested to be added to the October 8, 2002 agenda. ITEM 7: ,,REPORTS 7-a. Committee Chair- No report KENAI BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE SEPTEMBER 10, 2002 PAGE 3 7-b.

After looking them over we have enclosed a sheet of our stock Alaska designs that depict the same themes as your drawings. As you know, we custom make each banner and you can change colors at no extra expense. The banners pictured sell for $190.00 each in the 8' Sunbrella size. These stock designs can be altered to take in some additional elements. The Russian church can have the glowing sun in the background. We can add evergreen trees behind the moose or add fireweed in front of his feet. There would be an additional charge to add items to the stock design. My ballpark price would be $ 260.00 per banner. Once we discuss specific banners designs and additional elements, I will be able to give you affirm price. The two designs that our stock designs do not address would be the raven and the three fish jumping among the stars and moon. The price for a custom design would be in the range of $ 310.00 per banner. This is based on doing one of each custom design. Once the specifics of how many of each design is decided, the design fees and patterns fees can be spread over the quantity of each design ordered to give you a price that may not be quite so high. Let us know if which direction you wish to go with this banner project. If you have any questions or wish to discuss this further, please do not hesitate to call me on our toll free line at (888) 625-9079.

Commission Chair -- Wismewski stated he was surprised at the speed in which the new pole decorations arrived and were installed. Wismewski requested Gilford provide a recap of the "Christmas Comes to Kenai' event. Gifford stated she was very impressed at the amount of people who attended the tree lighting ceremony and at the amount of work was put in to the event by the Chamber of Commerce. Gifford felt the tree hghting ceremony was flawless. Regarding the actual fireworks display, Gilford stated she felt the unusual and unseasonably warm weather played a very large role in the success of the f~reworks in respect to the necessity of citizens to view the display from the bluff. Gilford stated she found it very unlikely the public would have viewed the f~reworks while standing outside in the elements ff the weather had been usual (cold). Several commissioners stated they felt the new placement of the £~reworks and the bonfire was a mistake and resulted in potentially dangerous situations as the public was out in the dark trying to fred places to view the fireworks, walking around on dark and slippery roads, and crowding along the dangerous and fragile edges of the bluff; several commissioners stated they were surprised nobody was hurt. The commissioners stated they felt the fireworks and bonfire sites should be returned to their original areas. Director-- Cole reported on the following: · The costs of the concrete and ramp is still being gathered; Frates will inform the Commission when more is known. · Frates will apply for a Conditional Use Permit for the ramp in the upcoming month. · Approximately 160 hours have been reserved for the month of December at the Multi-Purpose Center. · Volunteers are completing construction of the warm-up shacks; heating umts and lights are still needed. City Council Liaison -- Councilwoman Porter reported on the following: · Concerning the 'Sports Complex', Porter explained the area considered for the complex could contain contaminated softs. Porter stated Councilman Bookey raised an objection to this site and stated concerns. The commissioners affirmed they were surprised this issue has come up so late; they were under the impression-'there were no complaints with the site. Porter encouraged the Commission to continue placing this subject as an agenda item and to continue discussions and perhaps look into alternative sites. The Commission expressed concern over the lack of testing and possible cleanup at the site. Porter stated she would add this item as an agenda item for the upcoming council meeting to further discuss the issue. Members Castimore, Sandahl, Hultberg and Wisniewski stated they would be present at that council meeting to stay informed.
