Wisniewski arrived at 7'04 p.m.
ITEM 5: OLD BUSINESS
5-ao
Discussion-- Proposed Cemetery Code Revisions
Frates reported the City Manager requested departments review the current code for
possible changes that should be implemented. Frates and City Clerk Freas reviewed
the cemetery code and regulations and recommended the changes listed in the memo
included in the meeting packet.
Frates highlighted some of the items addressed. Freas gave some clarification on the
recommended changes to the opening and closing charges, noting they were only for
the City of Kenai and would now reflect the costs charged by the Peninsula Memorial
Chapel.
Discussion took place on maintenance of the cemetery and the permitt~g of articles
left on graves (toys, flowers, fences, etc.) on an annual basis. Frates stated this change
was recommended as there was a spring cleanup each year and any articles that were
not maintained would be removed at that time.
Frates indicated Freas receives questions periodically regarding the number of burials
in a plot, how many cremains, etc. As a result, the issue was now addressed under
Section 2-F and reflected the standard throughout the State.
Gifford arrived at 7:05 p.m.
Freas stated she had preliminarily discussed the how-many-caskets-or-cremains issue
with the City Manager and City Attorney and there had been some concerns that the
city could not regulate the number of ashes a person who purchased a plot could
sprinkle on a gravesite. She added, she hoped using the word "buried" would better
define the restrictions of how plots could be used and would help in making the
regulations workable.
Discussion took place on the various plot sizes and spaces remaining available. Freas
explained, there were three different sized plots; a standard adult plot, infant plot and
cremain plot. Sandahl asked how many vacant plots were available in the cemetery.
Freas provided a blueprint of the cemetery and discussion took place on those available
and where the cemetery may be expanded in the future if necessary. Freas stated
people were encouraged to use the new section and not the pioneer section as it was
unclear where some burial sites were situated because of a lack of records.
Discussion took place on the types of headstones allowed at the cemetery. It was
noted the requirement to limit headstones to ground-level stones only would be
removed. It was also noted, some of the headstones were damaged and sinking.
MOTION:
Commissioner Sandahl MOVED to recommend approval of the suggested Cemetery
Code changes. The motion was SF~ONDED by Commissioner Castimore.

ITEM 6: NEW BUSINESS
6-a. Discussion -- Street Banner Selection
Guests from the Beautification Committee were present to discuss the street banners.
Committee members present included Councilwoman Swamer, Helen Brown, dem'~
Rogers, and Joan Hett. Freas announced that Hett had just been appointed to the
Beautification Committee on Februm'y 2, 2000.
Brown displayed 14 sample banners and asked the Commission to eliminate four.
Brown reported that Dave Schilling donated shop space for banner work and the shop
would be open Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 10'00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Brown
asked for volunteers to help sew, etc. Brown reported thc new banners held up very
well last year.
Hultberg suggested a story about the development of the banners be made available to
visitors at the Visitors Center. Frates reported the banners were also displayed at the
AML Conference.
ITEM 7: DIRECTOR'S REPORT
7-a. Multi-purpose Facility
Frates reported the warmer weather resulted in some practices being cancelled. Those
who scheduled ice time were very understanding and had no problem in canceling.
Frates noted the dedication of the facility was scheduled for Saturday, February 5 and
the Mayor would be available to thank the many individuals who made the multi-
purpose facility a reality. Frates continued, several events were planned from the
AmVets Color Parade, hockey games, Denali Ice Exhibition, music, and a broom ball
challenge between the Rotary and Lions Clubs. Frates also reported a timer would be
installed to control the lighting at the facility for those using the facility during free ice
time.
Frates also reported the LLC group had secured some business sponsors who would
purchase blocks of ice for youth "shinny" hockey. Castimore explained shinny hockey
to be hockey using sticks, helmets, shin guards and no checking. He added, the game
allowed an excellent opportunity to learn to play hockey with experienced players.

7-b. Peninsula Winter Games Basketball Tournament
Frates reported the basketball tournament had been cancelled due to the road
conditions and weather. It was rescheduled for February 19 and 20. Frates indicated
an additional four teams expressed interest in playing which could bring the
tournament total to 12 teams.
ITEM 8: OUEb~IONS/k COMMENTS
Commissioner Glfford suggested the street Christmas silhouette fights be theme
colored, i.c, trees green, etc. Gifford added, a citizen made the suggestion for multi-
colored fights but she thought one color would be more aesthetically pleasing.
Commissioner Wisniewski asked about the condition of the sM trails. Frates reported
there had been some maintenance problems with the grooming equipment and the
wind i'filed the trails with branches, etc. However, volunteers were helping to keep the
trails clear and usable.
Discussion took place on the beetle kill tree removal and it was noted those areas
cleared look very nice. Discussion also took place on the Bernie Huss Trail and Frates
reported that by the time Dittman got his project approved with the Boy Scouts, there
was too much snow. Dittman assured Frates the work would begin in early spring.
Councilman Frazer reported the City Council approved the request from Parks to
retain a number of lots in the Inlet Woods Subdivision. Swarner reported the lots
would need to be appraised prior to putting them out for bid.
Frazer reported Robert Newbry resigned from the Planning and Zoning Commission
and Don Gough was appointed to replace Newbry. He also noted, the budget was due
February 12, 2000.

ITEM 4:

ITEM 5: OLD BUSINESS
Discussion -- Goals & Objectives
Dimmick stated the only discussion in regard to goals and objectives was a theme for
the summer. A brief discussion followed where one suggestion was "Kenai Blooms
Patriotic" and colors be red, white and blue to compliment the theme. Dimmick
suggested they choose the theme and then colors. It was decided to discuss the matter
further later in the meeting.
Discussion -- Yard-of-the-Week Program
Swarner reported she met with Stan Pitlo and Lori Evans of the Peninsula Clarion and
discussed the possibility of their supporting the yard-of-the-week program through
coverage in the newspaper (picture with caption below, etc.). She was told it would be
difficult for the newspaper to do that because they did not have a gardening reporter
but offered to make space in the paper if a member of city staff or the Committee write
the information to be included in the caption with the picture (cut-line). Swarner
added, she understood the Clarion would make available a photographer if needed.
During discussion it was suggested the Cooperative Extension may have an intern who
could take the pictures and write the articles, or members of the Committee could take
tums.
Dimmick reported she contacted Kathy Tarr at the Kenai Visitors Center and she had
no objections to having application forms available at the Center for nominating a yard
for the program. Dimmick added, she also spoke with Joan Hansen who agreed to
include information of the program in her weekly newspaper column. She added, she
also faxed an application for possible appointment to the Committee to Hansen who
stated she was interested in applying. Swamer noted another appointment would
probably be made at the February 15 council meeting.
Dimmick passed around a draft design for the sign to be placed in the yard chosen for
the week's honor. She explahned, her husband had the appropriate tools and would
make the sign. She added, the sign would be oval and approximately ~.8-30 inches
with flowers (roses, daises and forget-me-nots) bordering the wording. She added, she
thought the wording should include "Yard-of-the-Week," Beautification Committee, City
of Kenai, and the Parks & Recreation office number for those wanting more
information. Dimmick reported she would bring a computer enhanced drawing to the
next meeting if the Committee had no objections to the design she submitted.
Dimmick also reported she had an appointment to speak to the Chamber of Commerce
Director to discuss the possibility of getting area businesses involved in the program.
MOTION:
Member Hansen MOVED to accept the design presented by Member Dimmick and to
allow Dimmick's husband make the sign. Member Rogers S~ONDED the motion.
Frates asked if Mr. Dimmick would be able to do the lettering and painting of the sign
and suggested if he needed help, a senior at the high school may be interested in
volunteering. The Committee agreed it would be good to include a high school student
in the process.
Discussion -- Cemetery Rose Garden
Because of previously stated concerns that snow removal efforts might damage the
plants, etc., Frates reported he looked over the area in front of the cemetery where the
proposed rose garden would be placed. He added, he believed placing railroad ties
around the bed and staking the comers in the fall would aid in keeping equipment
away from the bed.
BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES
FEBRUARY 8, 2000
PAGE 2
Frates stated he liked the concept of placing roses in front of the cemetery, but wanted
to purchase the rose bushes from the current budget instead of making it a donation
or Memorial Park-type program as previously suggested. He suggested placing rugosa
or Wasagaming roses in the bed, or a mixture of both. Frates noted it had been
suggested before to include irises in the bed and added, that could still be done.
MOTION:
Member Rogers MOVED to go ahead with the rose garden at the cemetery and Member
Hett SF~ONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED.
ITEM 6' NEW BUSINESS
Discussion-- Su~~er Banners
Frates reported Committee Members Brown, Hett and Rogers, along with
Councilwoman Swarner attended the Parks & Recreation Co~_rnission meeting and
presented the banner designs to the Commission for their review. He added, how the
Commission selected the ten banner designs was an interesting process. He explained,
the Commission felt the more simple designs were better and the selection went very
well.
Dimmick asked when the Christmas lights would be taken down and Frates explained
the crews had been very busy with snow removal responsibilities. The work order had
been placed.and the lights Would betaken down when schedules allowed.
ITEM 7: REPORTS
Committee Cha/r
Dimmick reported she made an appointment with the Kenai Chamber director to
discuss the involvement of city businesses in the adopt-a-garden program. She asked
the members if they felt the gardens cared for needed to be close to a sponsoring
business. The members stated no, any garden would be acceptable. Dimmick
requested she be furnished with a list of the beds to be involved in the program.
It was noted, more than one business could take care of a bed. After a brief
discussion, the Committee decided watering and fertilizing would be done by the city to
insure it would be done. Only weeding would be the responsibility of the sponsoring
business.
Dimmick also reported the program information would be included in the Visitors
Center newsletter and discussed at their board meeting. Dimmick also reported she
discussed the garden show suggestion which would be held at the multi-purpose
facility with Tarr and Tarr offered her help in organizing an event there next year.
BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES
FEBRUARY 8, 2000
PAGE 3
Dimmick added, they also discussed a co-sponsored Master Gardeners class at the
Visitors Center during March or April, including a round-table discussion. Overturf
suggested slides of gardens, recognizing the types of flowers, etc. could be shown
during the discussion. Especially if this would be yearly event. It was also suggested
photography students from KCHS could take the pictures as part of their community
service hour requirements.
Parks/is Recreation Director
Frates reported the following items:
· The Christmas decorations would be taken down as time allowed.
· The multi-purpose facility dedication went well and had a good turnout.
He also noted the figure skating program was very nice and the broomball contest
between the Lions and Rotary Clubs was great fun.
· Seed orders were being developed and' Frates requested the members to
contact hi~ if they had any suggestions.
· The greenhouse was ready for starting the planting. He noted the heater
had been replaced and water was available.
· The basketball tournament scheduled as part of the Peninsula Winter
Games had been cancelled due to bad road conditions, etc. The tournament was
rescheduled for February 19 and 20.
Kena/City Council Liaison
Swamer noted the action agendas of the last two council meetings were included in the
Committee's packet, along with minutea of the January Parks & Recreation
Commission meeting. She al~o reported doan Hett had been appointed to the
Committee at the February 2 council meeting and another person would probably be
appointed at the February 16 meeting.
Swamer reported several seed companies had their complete catalogs on their
company's website. She noted the wave petunias could be found at wave-rave.com.
ITEM 8:
O~IONS AND CO~NT~
Dhnmick -- Reported she drafted an nomination application for the Yard-of-the-
Week program and would bring it to the Mm'ch meeting to be discussed further.
Rogers -- Requested the possibility of buying t-shirts for those working in the
gardens during the summer be placed on the agenda for the next meeting. She
referred to an article in a magazine where the gardening volunteers, while working in
the gardens, wore t-shirts with their theme on the back and "Weed Warriors" on the
front.
