reviewed by Micciche.
Discussion of the Commission followed in which Sandahl thanked Micciche and
ConocoPhillips for forwarding their proposal and added, he was having a difficult time

Molloy, acting as Vice-Chair Pro Tempore, in order for him to make a motion. There
were no objections by the Commission members.

Currently, the project period is from 7/18/05 - 9/30/07 but could probably be extended one year
if necessary. If billed in full, the maximum Federal share to the City of Kenai is $251,548.00.
