ITEM 5: REPORTS
5-a. Director -- Jankowska provided a statistical report and noted there was a
10% increase in circulation from last month. Jankowska also reported the following:
· Cindy Galic attended the Melinda Gates Foundation training in
Anchorage as a grant requirement and reported it was very informative. Another
training session will be held in the fall and it would be decided later who will attend.
The Gates Foundation recommended the city organize an open house in the fall in
order to show the workstations that come completely outfitted. The server will only be
used as a content server because there are so many other databases.
· Corey Hall and Jankowska attended the Alaska Library Association
meeting in Juneau. Jankowska visited Senator Wagoner's office to ask for support of
the Database for Alaskans. Senator Wagoner had very little time to spare. Jankowska
explained southeast Alaska, Fairbanks Anchorage, and the Universities are on the
same cataloging system and it is desirable to have more cities signed on. This would
make it convenient for the public, as they would have the capability of searching for
items in other libraries. Kenai should consider implementing this soon while the
system is still in place. Jankowska will provide more information at a later date.
· Additional budget cuts and an impact statement were provided to the
Finance Director and it still looks very grim.
· Conoco/Phillips provided a grant to assist with the kick-off of the
National Turn-Off TV Week program. A function will be held on April 21st at the library
and will include a potluck, bingo, other games and storyteller Carol Ford will perform.
· Linda McNair is going on worker's compensation leave due to surgery on
both hands.
· April 24th is the library Volunteer Party and this will be followed by a city-
wide volunteer reception on April 25th.
Discussion took place on the t~udget, the loss of two employees and closing the library
for two days. Various schedule options were discussed. It was suggested, perhaps
volunteers could be utilized to cover for those employees that will be lost. Jankowska
pointed out it would be most difficult to rely on an untrained volunteer to perform the
more technical aspects of the library. Jankowska also pointed out it was also difficult
to even get a volunteer for one hour for reading. When asked how much the local
students utilize the library, Coon reported there were several as the school library
hours are inconsistent. Coon added, most students visit the library after school rather
than on weekends.
5-b. Friends of the Library-- Commissioner Heus reported the following:
· Writer's night was not very well attended and income was half of what it
normally brings. The program is a good public relations venue, but consideration will
be given to discontinuing it.
· The mission and vision statements were reviewed.
5-¢. City Council Liaison -- Councilman Moore reported the following:
· City Council will make their selection of the new council member at the
April 2nd meeting. Also discussed will be the proposed water and sewer rate increases.
· The budget work continues.
· The Borough Assembly will be deciding on the purchase of some property
in Soldotna for a new emergency operations center. The City had invited the Borough
Assembly and others in the community to lunch and a tour of the emergency
operations center located in the Aircraft Fire Training facility with hopes the building
would be considered rather than constructing a new one. The function was not well
attended with only one person showing up from the Assembly, so all indication is the
land purchase would be approved. Moore added, the City facility was not a desirable
location as it was too close to the airport.
A budget work session and a meeting with the Boys & Girls Club is
scheduled for Monday, April 7th in Council Chambers.
· A joint meeting with the Airport Commission is scheduled to discuss
security issues.
· Jack Brown will be at the April 2nd meeting to discuss the Arctic Winter
Games.
Rodes asked if it was an emergency the new water well is provided. Moore replied, it is

COMMISSIONER COMMENTS/(~UESTIONS
Librarian Jankowska stated, although the budget looks grim, at this time no one
knows what is going to happen; this might be just temporary. Jankowska added, the
City really needs people like the Commissioners and those in the community to make
sure this isn't a permanent solution. Jankowska continued, it's important to keep the
quality of service up and it may take looking to other areas for assistance.

Sal Mattero -- Kenai resident and President of the Friends of the Library. Mattero
stated he knew of lots of reasons to continue the library program as it is currently. He
noted, residents had come to rely on the library for computer use, research for school
children, etc. He added, he could not give an economic reason not to cut this budget
other than it was the fight thing to do. Mattero added, the Friends would meet and
see what it can do to generate more income through donations, etc. He continued, he
understood the city's position, however it is a known fact, in economic hardship,
libraries are used most and it is a safe place for children.
Megan O'Neil -- Kenai resident and member of the Friends Board of Directors. O~qeil
noted, the city is in dire straits, however the school district is in worse shape and the
school libraries may not be available for their students' use. She emphasized the need
for the library to be available if the school libraries are not and that she would support
a mill rate to help cover costs. O~eil added, she would like the return of $15,000 in
this budget for one of the employee positions to enable the library to stay open six
days a week. She noted, the Kenai Library is the best one on the Peninsula and it
could be destroyed in a year.
Emily DeForest -- DeForest urged the funding for one of the two deleted positions. In
speaking with library users, she learned the library is used for more than the
procurement/reading of books, i.e. supervised family visits, homeschoolers, reading
books, using computers, etc. DeForest added, the Friends and patrons donated 1,655
books in the last year, equaling $29,000 which are assets to the city. DeForest again
urged funding for one of the positions in order to keep the library open six days.
Joan Bennett-Schrader-- Box 1265 Kenai, Ridgeway resident. Schrader stated she
was disturbed two positions would be lost and her concern it was a health and safety
issue there are two people working at the same time. Schrader added, she would not
object to purchasing a library card, however there are those living outside the city who
cannot afford to do so. She noted, she will do everything she can to help, but the
"hammer stops with the council."
Jim Evenson -- Nikiski. Evenson stated he understood the issue of looking at the
budget in dollar and cents, however he was optimistic funding could come available.
He added, nothing adds to the quality of the city more than the library. Evenson
added, the library brings people to Kenai and they then spend money in the city. He
urged, if a miracle happens and funds become available, think of the library.
Williams suggested to cut the amount of funds included in the budget for books
($32,000) in half and use $16,000 to fund a part-time position and cut back on the
oOUnt of books purchased. If funds become available later in the year, funds might
able to be replaced. Swarner agreed with Williams' suggestion. Porter stated she
ld like a fee charged for non-residents. Jankowska stated she felt using the
,000 to fund a position was better than charging for library cards.

Porter asked if there was a consensus of council to request the Library Commission to
explore charging a fee for non-city residents. Council had no objections.
Bob Molloy -- Kenai resident. Suggested charging a flat intemet fee. He noted he had
visited a library in Massachusetts where a flat fee was charged and there was no time
limitation. He said that program was very successful.
Bookey stated he supported the moving of $16,000 from books to fund an employee
position as Semmens stated the $16,000 would be the total cost for wages and
benefits.
Phil 8onnichsen -- Non-resident and member of the Friends. Sonnichsen stated she
volunteers at the library and will work through the Friends to increase the book
budget. In regard to charging a fee for computer users, she felt those people needing
to use the computers are those who cannot afford their own computer. She added,
she would really regret if a fee would be charged.
Bob Peters -- Old Town, Kenai. Peters suggested the city create their own miracle by
raising the mill rate. He added, people want city services, fire and police protection
and library which he believes are essential. Peters stated, he had the feeling council
didn't want to take the chance of losing votes by increasing the mill rate. In speaking
with members of the community, he has not heard anyone say they would not pay a
mill rate increase, though they may not be happy about it. Peters stated he believed
the mill rate should be raised several points.
A discussion followed in regard to raising the mill rate and the amounts of revenue
each point would produce.
Adjournment:
Semmens reviewed the different changes made during the discussions; Clerk (add
$2,000), Legislative (delete $12,724) and Library (move $16,000 from books to
'salaries/benefits) equaling $10,724 subtracted from the General Fund.
Porter urged people to buy locally and Williams urged the need to find something to
diversity the economy -- the people need to decide what the future will be for the
community.
The work session ended at approximately 9:36 p.m.

PROPOSED IYlEETING SCHEDULES FOR CITY C01YBI/II$$ION$,
C01YlI~TTEE$, BOARDS AND COUNCIL ON AGING
At their April 14, 2003 budget hearing, the Kenai City Council determined a change in
meeting schedules, form of meeting minutes, and electronic recording of meetings
would begin with the new fiscal year. These changes are being made in consideration
of constraints in the Fiscal Year 2004 budget.
Attached is a copy of the draft policy which council will consider at their May 21
meeting. Council requested a copy of the proposed policy be forwarded to all the
affected groups for review prior to their action.

Mayor and Council Members
Carol L. Freas, City Clerk
DATE: April 23, 2003
RE:
CITY COUNCIL POLICY: COMI~$$ION, COMMI~EE, BOARD AND COUNCIL
ON AGING MEETING $CHEDULE$
The Kenai Municipal Code, Chapter 1.90.050(a) states,
All boards, commissions and committees will have regularly scheduled meetings
which shall be open to the public. Exceptions to the meeting requirements shall
be established by Council. Permanent records or minutes shall be kept of all
proceedings and such minutes shall record the vote of each member upon every
question. Every decision or finding shall immediately be filed in the office of the
City Clerk and shall be a public record open to inspection by any person. All
acts of boards, commissions and committees are subject to the paramount
authority of the City Council.
Kenai City Council has authority, as noted above, to regulate meetings of the City's
commissions, committees and boards. Pursuant to that authority, Council, at their April 14,
2003 budget work session, directed a new policy regarding commission, committee, board and
Council on Aging meetings be set, as well as indicating the form of minutes to be generated
from the meetings and who will take notes and make electronic recordings of the meetings.
Attached is a draft policy incorporating Council's directives. Because of the nature of this new
policy, council's policy of January, 2000 regarding work sessions for commissions, committees
and boards, has been integrated into the new policy. Please note, the new policy indicates
approval be received from the City Clerk, with Council and City Manager notification, for
special meetings and/or work sessions. This has been suggested to insure proper advertising,
packet preparation, and because scheduling for the use of the council chambers and Clerk's
conference room are kept by the Clerk and, since the commission, committee, board and
Council on Aging meetings will be held bi-monthly, it may not always be timely to wait for a
council meeting to acquire approval to hold a special meeting/work session. Having council
liaisons in attendance at the groups' meetings is another insurance a special meeting would be
warranted. (See Items 5, 12 and 13.)
Copies of the draft policy have been included in commission, committee and board packets for
review and discussion.
Does Council approve the attached Policy for Commission, Committee, Board and
Council On Aging Meetings and Work Sessions?
