ITEM 4: PERSONS SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD Nate Kiel- Update/Multi-Purpose Facility Castimore reported Phase I was keeping everyone very busy and the building was nearly complete. Castimore encouraged commissioners to visit the job site as it was very impressive. Castimore praised the volunteer work and stated the project wouldn't be as far along without it. Some of the volunteers were working fulltime on the multi- purpose facility. He also reported the Zamboni arrived and was a part of the Parade of Lights on November 26, 1999. The Zamboni was currently at the Kenai Central High School where a student was putting the Kenai Kard logo on it. Councilman Frazer reported Council approved $10,000 for the purchase of netting and fencing for the multi-purpose facility. It was also noted, the Rotary Club completed one warming shed and the others were being worked on at EDD. Castimore stated the boards donated by Nikiski High School were in worse shape than thought and required a lot of work. Castimore stated that if the LCC had known the condition of the boards, they would have concentrated on purchasing new ones with donations from local businesses. Castimore indicated there was a delay in construction of the facility because of delays with product delivery for the warming sheds and other areas. Castimore showed a diagram of how the warming sheds and bleachers would be placed. An exact date for opening had not yet been determined but it was anticipated it would be in January. Wisniewski asked about the maintenance of the facility. Slavik stated the Parks & Recreation Department would pick up the trash on a regular basis but basically the facility should be maintenance free with the exception of the Zamboni requirements. Discussion took place on the potential user groups and Castimore indicated the bookings weren't as high as they had hoped. Other potential user groups be~ide hockey and the Denali Ice Club included curling, the Rusty Blades, etc. ITEM 5: OLD BUSINESS 5-8.

Sandahl stated he believed a rest. room at the Memorial Park would detract from the setting. Wisniewski added, the park was not a day park for picnickers, etc., and agreed a restroom would take away from the setting. After much KENAI PARKS & REC~ATION COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 2, 1999 PAGE 2 discussion it was the general consensus several restrooms were nearby and if a new restroom was to be constructed it would get better use at the Little League or FAA ball fields. MOTION: Sandahl MOVED that Parks and Recreation not give any consideration to the construction or placement of a public restroom at Leif Hansen Memorial Park. The motion was SECONDED by Wisniewski. MOTION TO AMEND: Castimore AMENDED the motion to add that Parks and Recreation not give any consideration to the construction or placement of a public restroom at Leif Hansen Memorial Park because of the memorial nature of the park. VOTE: There were no objections. SO ORDERED. 7-b. Cemetery Sign Slavik reported the new sign was completed and due to be erected at the cemetery as soon as the Parks work schedule would allow. Sandahl requested that Parks fred out who the other people involved in the project were from Buffmgton and send thank you letters on behalf of the Parks and Recreation Commission. Hultberg suggested a notice be put in the local paper as well. Teen Center Dance Slavik reported the next dance would be for the middle schools and held on December 17. He noted, the dances are well attended and the kids enjoy them very much. No problems had been encountered to date. Slavik reported chaperones were needed and Hultberg suggested that Parks call on commissioners for assistance. Slavik noted noted the dances last three hours and the Kenai Elks provide a lot of volunteer chaperones and their participation was greatly appreciated. 7-do "Santa Visits Tot Time" Slavik stated the Santa visit was introduced last year and would be held again. The Parks staff was busy working on final details and a date for the visit would be announced soon. Slavik asked Hultberg if he would play Santa again and Hultberg agreed. It was noted Hal Smalley also plays Santa and could be asked for future Santa visits. KENAI PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 2, 1999 PAGE 3 R~creation Center Daily Attendanc~ Slavik reported daily attendance at the Recreation Center continues to increase but staff continually seeks other methods of attracting more kids. Slavik reported a meeting was held with the Boys and Girls Club to see if a partnership could be worked out as both entities focus on the same type of activities and programs for kids. ITEM 9: OUESTIONS ~ COMMENTS Commissioner Castimore reported additional volunteers were needed at the multi-purpose facility. Student Representative Peters asked about the status of the Unity Trail. It was noted the next meeting should be held soon and commissioners would be sent a notice. Councilman Frazer reported there was a contentious debate at the Council Meeting on December i regarding the City billing the Offers for water and · sewer. Frazcr stated the Offers had a lease with the City for the field since 1976 and were never billed. The City Manager proposed the City begin billing the Offers and the annual rate would be approximately $1,300.00. Frazer added, the propose did not pass but would come back in some other form. It was asked if the golf course was being billed for water and sewer. Frazer replied the golf course was a for-profit organization where the Oilers was non- profit. Frazer noted, the Little League was not billed for the field they lease. Hultberg asked where the funds would come from ff the City decided to pay for the Offer field water and sewer. Frazer replied possibly from the Parks and Recreation budget. A lengthy discussion ensued regarding the Oilers field and Frazer thought the City would end up paying as the City still owns the site and all assets or improvements would ultimately return to the City. Commissioner Wlsniewski asked about the status of the Bernie Huss Trail. Slavik reported the Boy Scouts would try again this weekend to get the downed beetle kill trees out. Slavik reported Council approved Special Use Permit for Arch-Tech to clear out the beetle kill trees at the East End Trail.
