PERSONS SCltEDULED TO BE HEARD
4-a. Discussion -- Rick Baldwin, LLC-- Ice Rink Update
Baldwin did not attend the meeting and item was discussed at Item 5-b.
4-b. Discussion -- Skateboard Park
A group of skateboard enthusiasts attended the meeting to discuss plans for a
proposed skateboard park in Kenai. Commissioner Gifford provided everyone with a
packet of information including plans for a skateboard park built in Redmond,
Washington. Gifford pointed out the Redmond park was being built in phases and that
moSt of the funds for the project came through monetary or m-kind donations. The
skateboard group did not have much to present to the Commission so they were
encouraged to get organized by selecting key people to serve as leaders and to search
for donations. Commissioner Gilford offered to help the group in getting started and to
share ideas with them. Director Frates also offered assistance and reminded the group
the Teen Center would be available for meetings, etc. Discussion took place on a
potential location and it was noted that no place was considered at this point.
ITEM 5:
OLD BUSINESS
5-a. Discussion -- Memorial Park Sidewalk Additions
Frates passed around a map of a proposed sidewalk addition at Memorial Park which
basically concentrated on one side of the park. Other ep, tions were presented which
included perhaps adding sidewalks to both sides.
Discussion took place on the proposed brick wall that would contain memory bricks.
Although a few Commissioners expressed their concern that a brick wall might not fit
in at Memorial Park, several suggestions for proper location were made. The area most
favored was at the end near Dan's TV. Commissioners reviewed a catalog of various
types of bricks provided by Frates. Another suggestion was to place the memory bricks
in the ground.
MOTION:
Commissioner Gifford MOVED that Director Frates provide a comprehensive plan for
the sidewalk addition and memory wall to include an aerial view for review at the next
meeting. Commissioner Baxter SECONDED the motion.
VOTE:
IBaxter IYes] t Wisniewski tYes
I Sandahl ]Yes Castimore Absent

Gifford Yes
Steiner Yes
MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.
5-b. Discussion -- Multipurpose Facility Ice Maintenance
Frates reviewed the letter provided by the LLC group (distributed at the beginning of
the meeting) and pointed out the total cost to the City for ice maintenance would be
approximately $7,500.00 for a six-month period. The LLC group is requesting that the
City share in the expense of ice maintenance due to the high public usage.
Discussion took place and it was noted the LLC had raised the rates for ice this year.
PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION MEETING
OCTOBER 5, 2000
PAGE 2
Frates reported that Kenai Central High School had no plans of utilizing the ice until
January. It was asked what would happen if the City did not share in the ice
maintenance expense and Frates responded that LLC would have to sell more
sponsorships.
It was decided the issue would be tabled until the next meeting when a LLC
representative could be present to answer questions.
ITEM 6: HRW BUSINESS - None
ITEM 7: RRPORTS
7-a. Commission Chair -- * Chairman Hultberg reported Municipal Park looked
great and asked if any more tree removal would be done._ Frates reported there could
be some pruning required but the work was pretty much-completed. He added, there
might be some required tree removal in the future duc to beetle kill. Hultberg
requested that consideration be given to the previously provided plan by Castirnore.
Discussion took place on that plan and Frates was requested to bring a copy to the
next meeting for discussion.
Hultberg asked if the packet was received from the skateboard park people in Wasilla.
Frates replied it was not. Hultberg stated he would follow up.
· Hultberg reported he had been contacted by an individual who may interested in
holding a weekly flea market at the multipurpose facility next summer and would refer
the person to Frates.
7-b. Director -- Director Frates reported the following:
· Sadly Bill Musson (former Parks & Recreation employee) passed away
earlier in the day from cancer.
· He just returned from an APRA Conference in Seward. He noted the
conference went very well and he acted as Chairman, a position he will hold again next
year.
· The rink had been leveled at the multipurpose facility, the scoreboard
donated by ACS was installed, and the score shacks have been painted. Hultberg
asked when ice could be expected and Frates replied it depended on the weather but
thought perhaps later in the month.
.
· The chipper did a good job at East End Trail. Frates thanked the
Commission for their suggestion and support in moving the exercise equipment from
the 13emie Huss Trail to East End Trail. It was noted the equipment was getting much
more use at its new location.

City Council Liaison - Councilman Frazer reported the following:
· Council discussed the airport warm storage facility at their October 4
meeting and a sketch of the proposed facility was passed around. It was noted the
facility looked very impressive.
Rick Dominick approached the City Council with a very detailed plan on
utilizing the float plane basin for snow machine races. The plan was very well received.
· There will be an economic development-planning meeting held on a
Saturday in the near future and the public will be welcome to attend. Thi~ session is
being scheduled in an effort to formulate a plan on what direction the City should go
with regard to economic development. °.

COMMISSION ~.UESTIONS &. CO_M__M_~NT.~I
Commissioner Wisniewski asked if additional work was done in Bernie Huss Trail
since the trees and debris were removed. Frates replied, other than the removal of the
exercise equipment, there really hadn't been any. However, some discussion took
place on adding picnic tables and benches throughout the trail.

Re: Phase I, LLC
Dear Bob:
Ph~se I, LLC is in the process of plannin~ for the upcomins winter skatin~ season
~t the Ken~i Multipurpose Facility. At the outset I'd like to express our appreciation for
the cooperative efforts of tho City in r¢~dyin~ the rink for floodin~ and in installing the
neTM scoreboard don~ted by ACS as well as the many o~her contributions you h~ve made.
We have performed some financial analysis in an effort to determine how much
money each member of Phase I will have to contribute this year in order to make the
payments on the $350,000 note and to fund operations. The amount will be significant. I
would like to share with you a couple of figures from last season's operations. Total
revenues from ice sales were $11,603. At the same time the costs incurred by Phase I for
paying its contractor just to operate the Zamboni equaled $12,501. As you can see the
revenues generated did not cover the cost of surfacing the ice.
We charged $65 per hour for the ice time. Our agreement with our Zamboni
operators was that they would resurface the ice a minimum of two times each day and
more if and to the extent required by ice usage. We discovered that in order to maintain
the ice so that it would be available for commercial usage, it was necessary to resurface
the ice on the average of twice a day. This was almost exclusively due to heavy public
use during times when the ice was not reserved for commercial sales.
From the standpoim of a citizen of Kenai I think this is a good thing. We noticed
that the heaviest usage of the ice occurred after hours, indicating that quite a number of
young men were occupied on the ice rather than involved in other pursuits which might
not have been quite so benign. As a member of Phase I, however, I feel like perhaps it
would be only fair for the City to share with us at least the expense of keeping the ice
maintained as a result of the public usage. This year we anticipate charging $85 per hour
for ice. We have not yet finalized an agreement with the Zamboni operators but we
would expect it to generally follow the agreement of last year. If that is the ease then the
cost of paying an operator to resurface the ice twice each day would be approximately
$50 to $60. We ask the City of Kenai, as a part of its recreation program, to fund the cost
at that level.
City of Kenai
September 29, 2000
Page 2
This relatively modest cost for the City of Kenai and would certainly assist us in
increasing our revenue to the point that the individual losses that we share through Phase
I are tempered somewhat.
I hope that you will give careful consideration of this request.
advance your doing so.
I appreciate in
Very truly yours,
PHASE I, LLC

ITEM 5: OLD BUSINESS
5-a. Discussion -- Police Department Landscaping
It was noted there was interest from the volunteer caring for the flower beds at the
Police/Fire Station that the beds in front of the Police Department be extended. It was
decided there was not adequate area to where the beds could be extended due to tree
shade in the area and the lack of personnel to water and the lack of a water source.
It was commented there was a desire by the Committee to be able to review volunteer
garden plans by February.
5-b. Discussion -- Memorial Park Sidewalk Addition
Slavik reported the Parks & Recreation Commission was interested in developing a
master plan for development of the Park. Referring to the information included in the
packet, Hansen suggested all areas where sidewalks could be placed in the Park be
developed first before a wall is built. She noted the intent of the park was for trees to
be planted and not a lot of structures.
Clerk Freas reported all the available spaces at the Park had been sold and that
Councilwoman Swarner had requested a plan for adding sidewalk spaces be developed
prior to budget. Freas explained that the drawing included in the packet was one from
when the sidewalks were initially designed and that the sidewalks with the hash marks
were suggested ones for future development. She also noted, the Parks & Recreation
Commission had requested Director Frates to bring back a draft design for an overall
master plan for the park to review and that their desire was to add sidewalks and also
consider a remembrance wall, sidewalk bricks, etc. Freas also explained the reason for
considering a brick wall or alternative to the sidewalk plaque and planting is to lessen
the cost for people in the community who cannot, afford the plaque/planting. She
noted the current basic cost for a plaque/tree is $400 and plaque/shrub is $300.
Slavik explained he had observed a lot of people strolling through the park using the
sidewalks and at present, one has to retrace steps to get to another portion of
sidewalk. Adding sidewalks could offer a continuous walkway. Hansen stated she
would not have an objection to an alternative to the plaque/planting if sidewalks were
also going to be added. She suggested the southwest comer by the anchor or closer to
Lake Street for a wall.
Freas suggested the Committee might want to have a work session with the
Commission to work on the design together and Dirnmick suggested during the next
Commission meeting. The Committee suggested a better map of the Park be produced
for the discussion.
Discussion -- 2001 Plantings (discussed after Questions & Comments)
A lengthy discussion took place during which time flower types were chosen for
placement in various parks and planters throughout the city. During the discussion,
Committee Members Hett and Brown left at 8'30, Hansen and Nelson left at 8:45 and
the quorum was lost. Rogers left at 8'55, leaving Dimmick, Overturf and Slavik, who
continued the discussion until approximately 9'00.
Some of the following choices were made while a quorum was still available and some
after the quorum was lost:
Visitors Center (left)' Add pansies; move delphiniums from back; move trollius; add
padulosum in with the pansies and move the lilies closer together.
