C~ICATIONS Mr. Davis reported that he had called John Tolley today regarding the letter we were to receive frc~n his office. Mr. Tolle~ stated that the letter had ___. been held up in the Secretarial Pool over t,he holidays, and would be mailed today. There was no further data. G. REPORTS 1. Gary Davis a. Wetlands Presentation ~~..,.w .~~~ ~A~' ~~ 1 ~r'r Q ~ Office of Coastal Management and agencies involved in ~rking up the MOA on the Kenai wetlands project came down at the last City Council meeting and explained t~heir program to CC and t~he public. It was decided t~hat the agreement whether to sign the MQA and enter into the planning and ~ecane a member of a planning group shoula ,.,_ came before a public hearing. I have been requesting that each MOA be routed through tne Planning & Zoning Cc~nission. As a resul~, t~he Planning and Zoning C~nission was caught off guard by ' t~he MOA, as I understand they haven't had a meeting for a while. A special CC meeting, and Public Hearing is set for Wednesday, t~he 14t~h of January. OC~~i, COE, EPA, AND FWS wi11 be here. Hopefull~, with a few revisions, the CC will decide whether or not to sign the MQA. Pag~ 2 We have been in contact with them and i.ndicated sc~ne of the concerns of the City and the public to be revised in the MOA , to make it perfectly clear that any time the City gets involved. and feels they aren't getting a fair shake, that they can back out. That this is spelled out plainly, and we won't have to read between the lines to decipher that. Also~ it is felt mi.nor changes of phrases in the NlOA are necessary. b. CH2M HILL Mr. Davis stated that a copy of the CH2M Hill contract has been sent to us. ~ Chairman Peterkin stated that where we are at with the contract right no~w is tne time table. The time table has lost importance. This is a fact. I'm just trying to make up my mind whether we should invite t~hem down, or have t~hem put it on paper and ask ~-~~ TAMS to do the same thing and t~hen evaluate it .--For e~pedient reasons or not. John Williams stated t,hat it appears wit~h the minutes of t~he last meeting, TAMS presentation of the Consceptual Design was a lot ~--clearer. Also the effort they're going to put into it. GGing dawn through the minutes of that n~eeting, it's alm~st as ambiguious as t~he contract. But I'm still in favor of talking to them one more time to see if we can't iron it out. Chairman Peterkin asked if Mr. Davis was read~ to discuss the contract at t~his time. Mr. Davis agreed. Before discussion began, concern was expressed that Attorney Ben Delahay was not present. Items of discussion were: A. Site Selection Study-- 1. The word "conseptual", what did this mean? 2. Be w+orded to include inclusion of maintenance figures. B. Bluff Erosion Study-- 4. The word "obvious" changed to potential C. Design Services-- 5. Discontent was felt with the usuage of the e,xisting environmental data. 8. "Six man visits" - what did they entail? 10. ~maximum of 20 sets} Not enough to take to Juneau. D. Financial Plan-- 1. Decided there should be more to this E. Othzr Services-- Concern was expressed as to whether these services were included in t~he contract, or were they in addition to ~ line item e:~penditures? Article 2--we should ha~e a cc~nplete breakdown of each .item they're ~~ . ,~ k. M~ , 1 Pa~Q 3 ~ going to charge us for so we knaw what's going to happen for each of t~hose f igures . ~ It was also felt t~hat a penalty clause should be added to the contract here. Not "if the study and design services cavered in tnis agreement have not been completed before January 1, 1980, the basis of payrrient will be renegotiated for changes in the cost of services" . Correction of January l, 1982 to July 1, 1982 MEETING RDCESSID at 8:55 p.m. to give all in attendance time to go over this contract proposal. ~ READJOt~E~NNED 9 : 25 p.m. Chairrnan Peterkin asked Mr. Davis to walk us through the contract step by step. 1~hile this was done, t~here was more discussion of the previously mentioned items of t~e contract. A n~otion by John Williams follawed as such: MC7I'TON ~ I m~ve to correspond with CH2M Hi11 to request their presence at a meeting Thursday or Friday evening to discuss their contract. Seconded by : R~n Isaacs - R~esults of the Motion : Unanimous c. Progress on Grant Funding The list af studies has already b~~n conclud~d arid identifies t~he need for a marine develo~nent park to ~ handle the anticipated . impact of the cammercial fishing industry. I will draw out ' relevant pages from each of t~he studies. The largest one of which will be Wince-Corthell. This entire study will be included in the packet submi.tted to DOrI'. It is rather short and also speaks to all of the rationale involved in the need and demand fc,r the facilities. The final should be cc~npleted by January 20, for the HC and January 21, for the CC. d. Financial Scenario (Additional Report) This was a part of Ch2M Hills' Praposal of the financial plan which would show operational and ac~minstrative cost. This is self-explanatory. 1. Cost This would includ~ t~he persor~nel, their salaries, including benefits. 2. Revenue Correction oi Fuel sales and revenue.--$50G,000 gallons of fuel Pa~e 4 .10~ per gal. is $50,000.00. The ending amount of t~his w~uld be $172, 500.00. C~nents on the Financial Scenario Councilwaman Betty Glick stated there was no n~ntion of insurance coverage. If t~his is going to be a public facility, it seemed t~hat the city would have to carry insurance for liability. Mr. Davis explained this was listed under miscellaneous. Chairman Peterkin said t~is would cane under the city'.s umbr~lla policy. Mr. Willaims con~nented on the fuel situatuon. He stated that at the present time t~here is no approved. re=fueling system. If we set up a coast guard approved fueling station and make a legal fueling point, all of the fueling on that river will be n~ved to that one fueling terminal. So in looking at the at the fuel picture itself, we would probably be pumping tne total capacity of fuel on the river. There was more discussion. 2. Chairman Peterkin a. Decernber 22, Work Sessian Chairman Peterkin reported on the meeting between City Council and the Harbor Cc~nission and stated t~hat we have cc~ne to a ----- point where the productiveness has tota.lly stopped. That the only way we're going to get anywhere with the City Council we're dealing with now is to have the people say that they want a boat harbor. H. Old Business 1. Business Cards Nothing su~mi.tted I. New Business Mr. Davis stated he checked on printer's cost for Public Relations for the project, and into t~he cost of printing sc~ne f liers advertising the up-cc~ming election. The cost of 1500 5~ x 8~ fliers is $60.00. Poster size per 50 is $50.00. He stated this as a minimal cost if the Harbor Cc~nission wanted to approach it. J.
