Attention: Rich Koch In accordance with your verbal request; Wince-Corthell-Bryson has prepared this preliminary report from information provided by the City Clerk which was extracted from City Council nvnutes, correspondence between the State and the City, and applicable State Statutes. PIatting Prior To Statehood A Federal field survey breaking down Township SN Range 11 W into sections and parcels was performed during 1421 and 1922. Final Federal plat approval was received on March 12, 1923. This platting action created, within Section 16 of the subject Township, three aliquot part land tracts and tan land tots, with the rrieander line of the Itieriai River estuary formaiiy established by surveying. This subdivision of lands effecfively defined the tidal lands and submerged lands of the Lower I{enai estuary located between the lots and tracts. Federal Tidelands Transfer To The State O£Alaska Title to uplands, tidelands and submerged lands within TSN, Rl l W, SIVI, Alaska was transferred fram the federal government to the State of Alaska in 1959 about the time of Statehood. Alaska Tideland Survey No.272 (ATS 272) In 1968, Tidelands Survey ATS 272 was initiated with the concurrence of the State of Alaska, Department. of Natural Resotuces, approved, and filed on December 31, 1974 in the Kenai Recording District as 76-179. It incorporated the previously created meander Iines of the lower Kenai River estuary from the 1921 survey described for TSN, Rll W, SM, Alaska, as a~~ integral part of the document. 13RAFT I)C1CIIMENT State df Aiaslca Transfer t)f Land To The City Of Kenai Title to the tidelands and submerged lands, as platted and described in ATS No. 272 excepting prior authorized and approved claims, were trazisferred from the State of Alaska, DeparKrnent of Natural Resources to the City of Kenai on 7anuary 6, 1977. On September 5, 1979, the City Council approved Ordinance 455-78 specific to ATS No.272, "An ordinance accepting conveyance by the State of Alaska to the City of Kenai of tidelands and submerged lands lying seaward of the City; approving and adopting the official subdivision of the area conveyed; and establishing procedures by which preference rights may be exercised.." Kenai River Special Management Area (1{RSMA) The State law establishing the KRSMA, AS 41.21.500-514, Statute 41.21.502, provided the legal description for those concurring properties contained within KRSMA. This December 31, 1997. City Council Position on Statute 41.21.502 became law on June 2, 1984. State state-owned lands, water, and other document was approved affective The City position on the proposed KRSMA boundary has been consistently clear with regard to the City desire to exclude City owned tidelands and submerged lands from within the regulatory KRSMA boundary referred to interchangeably as the "lower five miles", "down river from Warren Ames Bridge" and "lower river". It is assumed for the purpose of this report that the intent of that wording was to exclude the City owned Kenai River estuary both within and downriver of Section 16. At the council meeting of September 17, 1997, I?esalutien 97.65 was approved objecting to the KRSMA legislation as drafted. The resolution also contained references to the lower four miles. Correspandenee containing the same reference was sent from the City the next day. Attached are Council minutes and Kenai City Administration correspondence prepared after that meeting. Kenai Peninsula Borough Tax Status Records Kenai Peninsula Borough land stahts records indicate that lands situated within Section 16, TSN, RI 1 W, excluding the Kenai River, are owned by the State of Alaska. Title to tidelands and submerged lands within Section 16, the Kenai River estuary portion remains unchanged, and. are depicted as being owned by the City of Kenai. Extracts From Statute 41.21.502 (With Comments) Section 41.21.502(a} describes alt State owned or subsequently acquired lands, water, shore, tide and submerged [ands lying within the parcels indicated. Section 41.21.502(a)(1) states that State owned KRSMA lands generally extend downstream to the common section line of Sections 16 and 17, TSN, Rl 1 W, S.M., AK. This includes all of Section 16. 2 Section 41.21.502(a}(4) lists all State properties described within 41.21.502(a)(1). Section 41.21.502(a)(4}(L) lists all State properties in the lower river laud, including TSN, Rl 1 W, Section lb lands adjacent to the City tidelands and submerged lands. Section 41.21.502(b) clarifies that all lands described under 41.21.502(a) are subject to valid existing rights. Section 41.21506 (Comprehensive Management Plan and Regulation), subsection {d) clarifies that said management does not apply to laz7d not owned by the State located within municipalities, unless so approved by the municipality. Section 41.21..508 (Acquisition of Additional Land) allows the commissioner to add: lands by Lease, purchase, exchange, bequest, gift or other lawful means, but not by eminent domain. Section 41.21.512 (Cooperative Management Agreements} allows the commissioner to enter into cooperative management agreements with a municipality. Conclusion The legal document establishing the KRSMA boundary appears to at least wrap State owned uplands around City owned tidelands and submerged lands. The State asserts that it includes the City property {tidelands and submerged lands). It is our engineering opinion, for that to occur, the City would need to concur in such an inclusion by means of a Memorandum of Agreement or other such document, none of which have yet appeared in Council minutes or other available records. WCB recommends that a title search be performed to verify that no transfer of authority concerning the City owned tidelands and submerged lands in section 16 is likely to have ncettrred by aniltori~ed City personnel. The KRSMA management boundary may »1T.imately be a legal issue of general State Powers that may have to be settled by the courts. If you have any additional questions, please contact our office at your earliest convenience. We are available to meet with Administration conceming this item after July 28, 2008.

I wi1'1 be using flee term "vesting seheflule" in my discussion. I don't think vesting schedule is probably the most accurate term, but it's the best 'I can come up wifI1 to describe the length of time from when an employee starts at the `.A" step, to when they reach the "CC" step. Presently, when an employee reaches the "CC" step, far purposes of this discussion, he or she is "fully vested". I have attached a spreadsheet comparing. the vesting schedules for selected govenvlaental units in Alaska. Option Namber One-Do Nothurg Dt$cussiatl The City of I~enai's salary schedule is assumed to recognize the competitive range o1'pay for each job classification. In other words, it reflects what the market has determined is a fair rate of pay for a particular j ob. The City of Kenai has a reasonably short vesting schedule in that it takes most employees only 10 to 10-1/2 years to reach the "CC" step, This is advantageous to our employees as they move though the vesting schedule more rapidly Phan the majority of other municipalities in Alaska. Two measures of whether an employer is paying less than the mazlcet at any point in a salary schedule is if there is high employee tuanover and/or it is difficult to recruit to fill 10 position vacancies. The City of Kenai does not have high turnover, nor have we had difficulty in attracting qualified candidates to fill vacancies. The exception was within. the Police Department and that issue has been addressed. Pros No financial. impact Cons Disappointment on the part of some employees Perception at being frozen at top step continues Option Number Two- Provide atwo-percent (2%) bonus each year for employees that have been at the "CC" step at least two years. Bonus is based on base annual salary. Discussian This option is defined in ordinance number 2314-2008. It provides as a banns, what is another step following the "CC" step, making hi effect a 12.5 year vesting schedule, where employees will. find their rate of pay "frozen'. Twelve employees would receive the bonuses in FY04. This is the option contained in ordinance number 2314-2008. Pms Provides additional compensation to employees, recognizing long-teen city sezvice Cons Provides additional compensation to employees, possibly higher than the competitive market salary range - Cost of izrzplementation is approxinzately $ 15,000 in FY09 - There is disagreement whether the amiual "bonus" would be considered salary as it relates to PERS - Employees would feel they are "frozen" again after receivhig the bonus after only several years Option Number Three-Create two additional longevity steps in the existing salary schedule Discussion There are almost and endless number of permutations to address this. Excepting the City of Kenai, which has a 10.5 year vesting schedule, the range was 13.5 years to 22 years for the other 5 government units I researched. The average vesting schedule for these was 19 years. The City of Soldotna, after reaching the end of the schedule (17.5 years) offers three-percent (3%) longevity increases every three years. 11 Two additional longevity steps, "DD" and "EE" ,with "DD"being attained after five years at the "CC" step, and "EE"being attained after five years at the "DD" step, would result in a vesting schedule 20.5 years in length. The cost of implementation in FY09 would be approximately $ 17,500. This cost assumes no recognition of past longevity, and provides an increase in base pay of 2.S% for each of the additional steps. In FY09 three employees would move to the "DD" step and five employees would move to the "EE" step. Pros - Addresses perception that employees are "frozen" in salary - No confusion regarding application to PERS. It will increase employees' retirement - Fewer employees will reach the and of the salary schedule - Consistent with other government units vesting schedules Cons Additianal steps may not be justified by the market salary range - The cost on implementation for FY09 is approximately $ 17,500 - It is still possible to be "frozen" aC die end of the salary schedule Administration Recommendation The administration believes the existing vesting schedule represents the market range for specific job duties, and that the performance of certaiujabs should be compensated for within that range, Under option three the proposed increase in salary expenditure is minimal and vrould adaress long-terttz employee concerns they are "frozen" in the vestnag schedule, some for many years.

Protest Baekeround: Discussions with FAA indicate that funding levels for the Kenai Municipal Airport can be expected to level off at about 3.5 miIlian dollars per year over the next few years. Adding Sn/o for State and City matching funds, the total would be about 3.67 million dollars per yeaz. The attached three year AIP program and recen#iy subnritied C1P data sheet show how upcoming projects are phased to fit within available funding over the nextthree years. FAA has recommended that projects be designed as a whole with the flexibility in the documents to "phase" as funds become available. Order of magnitude estimates indicate that rehabilitating and reconstruction of the existing apron pavement followed by expanding the existing apron will cost about 6 million. Development of the North Willow Street Lease Lots with taxiways and aprons and extension of Willow Street is estimated to cost in excess of 8 million. Several million dollars in improvements are also planned over in the Float Plane Basin Area after zoning issues are worked out so an Environmental Assessment can be prepared. Due to the magnitude of the apron reconstruction and expansion projects, we are recommending the existing apron and its expansion be designed as a whole with enough preliminary engineering into the North Willow Street lease lot development area to plan for its integration into the apron system as demand dretates. Contract Documents will be structured to bid and/or add phases as funds become available. Pflitip W. Bryson PE A(an N. Corthell PE Frank W. Wince PE {Rel.) Mark E. Blanntng PE E. Casey Madden PE 22 Scone off Proiect: Civil Work; Phase One is intended to rehabilitatelreconstruct the existing paved apron. The middle portion of the existing apron between the generator huiiding and Everts fueling operation is full strength pavement and milling fora 2 - 3 inch overlay is anticipated. The apron south and north of this area has been found under the Airport's rated strength and will require full depth reclaiming of the asphalt and compaction of the reclaimed asphalt and base with a two layer pavement system. The Phase Two expansion will be designed and shown as "Phase Two-Not-in-Contract". It is anticipated to include excavation, fill, base, paving, surface grading, and underground storm drain systems. Electrical Work: Phase One electrical will include apron flood lighting along the east side, and replacement of old airfield lighting conduit and circuit lines across tke apron along with spazes far Phase Two Electrical. Alighted heliport medivac area w-11 be established with this Phase also. Phase Two Electrical, also shown but labeled as `2Vot in Contract", will include apron taxilane edge lighting, signs, with spares far extensions north into future phases of lease lot development. Old FiEA power into the FAA middle wind sock and anonometer will need to be relocated with this phase. Aaron Markin: Security area markings, taxilanes, vehicle lanes, and other existing marking will be applied. Work Tasks i"he design will be completed with the methodology and approach described in our Term Contract Proposal, dated April 24, 2008, and is generally summarized as follows: Base Manpin: Field ground surveying between the east apron edge and the parallel taxiway drainage system will be completed from Crranite Point fence line to the end of the existing paved apron. This survey will be done at the accuracy required for pavement to pavement and building matching, as well as for calculating earthwork quantities. This area is shown on the attached site map as Phase One and Two. Surveying further to the north will be completed at the accuracy necessary for preliminary design of drainage patterns and earthwork quantities. Field geotechnical work will include cored test plugs of existing asphalts, and base rock on the existing apron, with deeper test holes across the apron expansion area Samples will be tested for A.C. content, gradation, and density. The final product of this work will provide a base map from which design sheets will be generated, and the geotechnical information to guide rahabiIitation/recanstrirction areas on the apron. Pki7ip W. Bryson PE Alnn Iv. CortheR PE Frank W. Wince PE (aet.} Mark E.

A design team meeting with Airport management and City administration staff will be held to select the desired apron configuration and discuss apron lighting, operations, and maintenance issues. Preliminary Plans & Design Study Report: Based an the direction given from the Design Development Phase A, Design Study Report at about 75% stage of the design stage, with an Engineer's Estimate, will be submitted. At this review the Project Scope may be reduced or increased to fit funding levels. rtnat Ylans, 5peeitecations, and an Engineer's Estimate: Based on direction from the review of the Preliminary Plans and Design Study Report, Final Documents will be submitted for final review, adjustment, and prepared for the Bid Process. Bid Process: Historically, Airport projects have required 40 to 50 plan sets for distribution and construction. WCB will provide the Bid Documents, be available for questions, attend the Pre-bid Conference, and issue required Addendums. Follaving the Bid Oy-cisirig YJCB will analyze the bids and prepare a "Recommendation of Award". Permitting: This project was included in the January 2006 Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact {FONSI) so can. proceed without additional permitting if initiated as a project prior m January 2009. Tlu; Contractor will be required to submit a S WPPP and NQI for the project. Schedule: Assuming City funding for this design project is available and a "Notice-to- Proceed" is issued by September 10, 2008, WCB anticipates the following schedule can be met: 9110/0$ - 9124!08 9124!08 - 10/08!08 10/8!08 - 11/26/08 Ii/26/08 - 12/24/08 1/5/09 - 1/12!09 1114/09 - 2/12/09 2/12109 Philip W.

Carol L. Freas City Clerk Kenai, Ak. RE: Ames Rd Paving Proposal Dear Carol, ~C'E~'F/E~} JUt, 2 9 2008 I am writing in reference to the proposed paving improvements for Ames Road South. Currently there are 19 property owners on Ames Rd., 17 of those are along the east side and 2 aze along the west side. As things stand now, the 2 property owners would be paying 50% of the property owners' share of this paving, if assessments were based on square footage, frontage, or a combination of the two. My husband Gary and I feel that this is just not equitable of this time. We have optional accesses to our property along Angler and along Beaver Loop Rds., and we notice on the Preliminary Assessment ro3.1 that we weren't given a 50% credit for those accesses. We also have a 15 acre lake in the middle of our groperty and don't know how that figures in the square footage, but It looks as though it was alt counted. This is not useable property and we don't feel that it should be included in the total square footage. If the assessment was based on an equal division, we would be willing to sign on to this project. if;t is Doing to be 1?ased on either nfthe other two cr>_ter+a, we would respec+_Pally request tha± this paving be tabled, until such time as there are more residents to cost share this project. Ames Rd is a very short road, w/little, if any, commercial. teaffre. We do understand that a paved road is very nice to have, and even though we paid a large share of the Angler Dr. paving, we had no problem with that. There were, however, quite a few more residents on that road, over 4Q, and it is heavily used for commercial purposes in the summer, Our main point is simply that there just aren't enough property owners at this time to make it a fair cost share, unless the cost is shared equally.

FROM: Rick Koch DATE: Juty 30, 2008 SUBJECT: Special Assessment Petition -Ames Road South of Beaver Loop and a Portion of Basin View Drive The purpose of this memorandwn is to discuss the scope, estimated cost, assessment methodologies considered, and provide the administrations recommendations regarding the above referenced proposed Local Improvement District {LID) Scare of Work The petitioners requested a scope of work to include only that portion of Ames Road south of Beaver Loop Road. The Administration recommends that a portion. of Basin View Drive approximately 2001ineal feet {1.f.) in length be included in the proposed LID (tIus is included in cost estimates provided by the administration), Basin View Drive is approximately 400 l.f. in length. During the LID that paved the adjoining Basin. View Subdivision half of the length of Basin View Drive should have been improved, but was not given available funding. If the LID is approved. for.4mes Raad the 200 l.f. portion of Basin View Drive should be included, and the remaining 260 Lf. un-improved portion should lee improved by the City and not included in the L.ID. Cost Estimate The cost estimate for the construction ofthe proposed LID, including approximately 200 i.f. of Basin View Drive is $ 339,592.50. For purposes of this discussion, as in previous LSD's the City would bear the initial. cost ofone-hundred percent of the LID and through a property assessment recover fifty percent of the LID costs. The esthnated cost to improve approximately 2001.£ of Basin View Dive not included in the LID is $ 20,000 - $ 25,000. 39 Assessment Methodalouies Considered Administration considered four different assessment methodologies. This LID presents challenges in attempting to determine a fair and equitable methodology. The challenges are as follows: 1. There are varying land. uses within the proposed LID. The properties within this LII} aze used in very different ways. a. There is a guide/fishcamp which generates high volumes of traffic during the summer months of the year. b. There are single family residences. o, The majority of the properties within 1-2 acres in size, but there are two very large undeveloped properties, that in total are larger than the remainder of the proposed LID. 2. While a slight majority of the property owners in the proposed LID signed the petition (11 out of 21), with the exception of one assessment methodology, those property owners not signing the petition would be required to pay from sixty percent to seventy-five percent of the total property owner assessment. The assessment methodologies I explored are as follows: 1. Assessment Based on Fqual Division -This is of course the most simple, and in this case, arguably may he the fairest. When the petition was submitted to the City there were twenty-one properties within the proposed LID. As a result of platting action consolidathng three properries the total number of properties is now nineteen. For purposes of this assessment methodology I also assumed that when two properties were adjacent, shared common ownership, and were presently used as a single parcel of property, I considered them as one property. This methodology would result in each. property owner being assessed (estimated) $ 10,612.27 regardless of property size, or front footage on either Ames Road or Basin View Drive. Under finis methodology those signing the LID petition would be required. to pay fifty percent ($ 84,898.19) of the LID cost and those property owners not signing the LII7 petition would be required to pay fifty percent ($ 84,848.19} of the LID cost. 2. Assessment Based on Square Footage -For purposes of this methodology, if a property also had frontage on a road not included in the LID, I only used fifty percent of the property size in the calculation. The logic in considering square footage as a determining factor is to address both present and future utility of the improvement. Based solely of square footages of the properties the estimated assessments range from $ 53,542.79 to $ 854.24. Property owners signing the petition would have estimated assessments of $ 68,537.83, and property owners not signing the petition. would have estimated assessments of $ 101,258.42. q-o 3. Assessment Based on Front Footage -Assessments would be based solely on a properties front footage along Ames Road. I did not include frontage along the portion of Basin View Drive included in fihis proposed LID. The estimated assessments range from $ 43,621.43 to $ 1,803.59. Property owners signhag the petition would have estimated assessments of $ 42,599.59, and property owners not signing the petition would have estimated assessments of $ 127,196.66. 4. Assessment Based on 50% front Footage and 50% Square Footage -The estimated assessments range from $ 47,589.64 to $ 2,463.44. Property owners signing the petition would have estimated assessments of $ 55,568.71, and property owners not signing the petition would have estimated assessments of $ 114,227.54. The Kenai Municipal Code (KMC) 16.050.030 provides in part "...the petition. shall be signed by the owners of fifty percent { SO%) or more of the properties which will be benefited by the proposed improvement "This petition meets that requirement. KMC 16.10.070 states in part "The resolution directing continuation shall find that the improvement is necessary and of benefit to the properties to be assessed, and that it is not objected to by owners of properties bearing fifty (50) percent or more of the estimated costs to be home by the property owners ar, in the alternative, that is has been approved by at least six members of the Couneil," Administration has also considered the overall estimated cost of this project ($ 339,592.50) against the number of properties benefited (19). The estimated cost per property would be $ 17,873.29. For comparison, the per lot cost for the Angler Drive LID was $ 6,136.85, and the per lot cost for Thompson Park LID is estimated at $ 5,526.00. Administration believes there may be other areas in the City in which a better costlbenefit ratio is achieved. Administration also suggests it is appropriate to see what funding remains available after the completion of this season's construction projects prior to the creation of an additional LID. Additionally, the owners of the two largest properties, Angler Enterprises and Pclch, have stated they have no intension of using Ames Road as future access to their properties as they already have access from Beaver Loop, Angler Drive, ar both. While administration believes these two large parcels ofproperty will benefit in some degree from the improvement of Ames road, we also agree with the validity of their argument. Both Angler Enterprises and Mr. Pelch have submitted written objections to the proposed LID. The Angler Enterprises and Pelch properties would bear the following percentage of the estimated assessment costs based on each proposed assessment methodology: 41 Assessment Methodolo Angler Ente rises Pelch Property Total E ual Division b25% 6.25% 1.2.50 ~ S uare Footage 31.53% 16.17% 47.70% Front Footage 24.52% 25.69% 50.21% 50% Front Footage/50% ~ S uare Foota e 28.03% ~ 20.93% 4896% Adminstration's Recommendation Administration recommends that Council adopt a resolution terminating the improvement district for the Ames Road LID. Administration further recommends that Council instnict the City Manager to investigate and prepare a report identifying other potential LIDS within the Cify which includes a discussion of the cosCtbenefit of proposed projects, including this project, and report to Council at the November 5, 2008 meeting. The purpose of the report will be to determine if the Council desires to direct the City Manager to undertake Council initiated special assessment districts for the 2009 construction season. If Council decides to continue this project the administration recommends using the assessment methodology that divides the cost equally among the properties. Exhibits 1. Map of proposed LID 2.

The proposed Code changes relate to the development, preparation, distribution, and publication of the agenda for City Council meetings, and also address late materials. The proposed. Code changes do not affect the conduct of the Council meeting itself or any parliamentary procedures at the meeting. ~. Desreloperat seed Psepaxatio~a eaf Ps ¢znsla. The first sentence of the existing KMC 1.15.040 is "The agenda for each meeting on the City Council shalt be prepared by the City Clerk after consultation with the CiTy Manager and tl±e Mayor.°' 1. The first sentence of proposed new KMC 1.15.040(1) states: "(fj The City Clerlc shall prepare the agenda for each Council meeting, after consultation witix the Mayor and City Manager, .vrsbject do paragraphs (a~ through (e).'° (Emphasis supplied). The "subject to" phrase is the proposed substantive change. The intent is that paragraphs (aj through (e) are Rules o£ CDrder to be followed in the preparation of the agenda for each Council meeting. 2. New Pexles of ESrder paragraphs (a) and (b). While the Council as a whole executes the Legislative power by a majority of 4 votes at the Council meeting, paragraphs (a} and (b) clarify tha± 4 votes are not required for the initial placement on the agenda of an individually sponsored legislative or policy discussion item. Paragraphs (a) and (bi establish in written Code the Mayor's and the individual Council member's right, as legislators, to sponsor a legislative or policy discussion item, and to obtain placement of their sponsored item on the agenda of the Council meeting requested by the sponsor. The "Council meeting requested by the sponsor" could be the next Council meeting or a later Council meeting agreed tc by the sponsor with the Mayor and City Manager, given other business already scheduled, time sensitive nature, or other considerations. -I- 80 i 3. New Rule of Order paragraph (cj. The City's Charter, Section 3-2(6}, provides that the City Manager may make recommendations on matters of poficy and other matters to the Council. Under the City's practice, the City Manager may propose an ordinance for introduction or a resolution for adoption, or request that a discussian item be on the agenda. Paragraph (c) establishes this practice in written Code. 4. New Rule of Order paragraph (dj. Paragraph (d) has been re-written 'based on comments received; the new language is underlined. Paragraph (d) is directed at the "Persons Scheduled to Be Heard" portion of the agenda for scheduled comment or presentation by members of the public. The intent of paragraph (d} is to establish in Code what is basically the City's current practice for scheduled public comment or presentation. It is my understanding that the City Administration utilizes unwritten practices for processing such requests by members of the public, including screening for subjects exempt from public comment such as pending personnel matters, etc. The intent of the ending phrase "subject to policies and procedures adopted under paragraph (l) below" is that Administration will create written policies and procedures for processing such requests by members of the public, to be reviewed and approved by Council. The intent is that the pubfic's right to free political speech on City business matters will be balanced with reasonable restrictions that will now be in written policy and procedure available for public notice and review (if this proposed change is adopted by Coun.cill, instead of being handled under the Administration's unwritten practices. 5. New Rule of Order paragraph (ej. Paragraph (e} establishes that the Mayor or Council member who is a sponsor of an ordinance, resolution, or discussion item, or all co-sponsors of such items, may request that such an item be removed from the agenda, before the agenda is published, and such item shall be removed from the agenda, unless the item has been carried over or postponed from a previous agenda. .The intent of Paragraph (ej also is to establish that a requester may do the same, and have their item removed from the agenda, unless the item has been carried over or postpaned from a previous agenda. Requesiers include (1j the City Manager for Administration-requested ordinances, resolutions, and discussion items, and (2j a member of the public for the requested scheduled comment or presentation by that person or their organization. 2 81 B. Distribution of Agenda. The first part of the second sentence of the existing KMC 1.15,040 is: "Such agenda shall be distributed by the City Clerk to each member of the Council at ,least twenty-four (2~} hours prior to the meefing ... " Z. The second sentence of proposed new KMC 1,15.040(f) states: A draft agenda shall be circulated Co the Mayor and other Council members, and the City Manager, before finalization:' 'The intent of this substantive addition is to provide earlier notice to Council members of tentative agenda items sa as to allow Council members the opportunity to see if their sponsored items are on the agenda and to communicate with the Mayor and Administration if their sponsored items are omitted from the tentative agenda, or if they want to either postpone their item to a future agenda or remove their item from the agenda (if not hold aver from a previous agenda, such as already postponed or tabled itemsj. 2. New paragraph (i) provides that the meeting packet, containing the agenda etc., shall be distributed to the Mayor, other Council members and the City Manager at least seven (7) days prior to the meeting, instead of the orie !1) day in current Code. 8. New paragraph (i} also provides that this distribution would be by mail, unless the recipient opts for personal pick up or electronic mail, with fax or courier service "only available for recipients who will be out of the City of Kenai during the week preceding a Council meeting." C. Publicaton (and Posting6 of Agenda. There is currently no Code requirement for publication or posting of the agenda. 1. It is my understanding that the City's current practice for publication is publication in the newspaper on Mondays for a Wednesday Council meeting, so there is notice published only two (2) days before the meeting date. New paragraph (g) would require publication of the agenda six days in advance, i.e., on the Thursday before the next Wednesday Council meeting. 2. It is my understanding that the City's current practice for posting to the City's web site is five (5) days in advance of the meeting date, i.e. by 5:00 PM on the Friday before the next Wednesday Council meeting. Paragraph tg) would require posting of the agenda (to the web site and at City Hall) seven ('I} days in advance, i.e., on the Wednesday before the next Wednesday Council meeting. 3- 82 D. Distrihnti®n o£ Meeting Packet. There is currently no Code requirement for other distribution of the meeting packet, including agenda and supporting materials, to members of the public; or for providing for any other public access. Y. It is my understanding that the City's current practice is to post a copy of the meeting packet to the City's web site five (5) days in advance, i.e, by 5:00 PM on the Friday before the next Wednesday Council meeting. New paragraph (j) would require that the meeting packet be gosted to the City's 'web site, and also be provided to the Kenai Community Library, in order to be made available for public viewing, by 5:00 p.m. seven (7) days prior to the date of the Council meeting, i.e., on the Wednesday preceding the next Wednesday Council meeting. 2. It is my understanding that the City's current practice is to provide paper copy of tkze meeting packet etc. to any member of the public, or to any organization, upon request, two (2) days in advance of the meeting date, i.e. on Mondays for a Wednesday meeting. New paragraph {j) would require that a paper copy or an electronic copy of the meeting packet be provided to any member of the public, or to any organization, upon request, by 5:00 p.m. six (6) days prior to the date of the Council meeting, i.e. on the Thursday before the next Wednesday Council meeting. 3. New paragraph (}) would also require that at least one paper copy of the meeting packet be made available to the publc at the meeting. This could be done in the form of a 3-ring binder similar to the Council's binders. This binder could be shared by members of the public at the meeting. E. Late Materials The Last part of the second sentence of the existing KMC 1.15.040 is: " .. ,and no further items shall be added to the agenda except by majority vote of the Councilmen present at a meeting." 1. The proposal made in new paragraph (h) is that once the final agenda is published, no item may be "removed or added" to the agenda except by majority vote of the Council members present at the meeting. 2. In addition, the subject of proposed new section (k) is late materials that become "lay downs." The proposed deadline is Noon the day before the Council meeting, except for written public comment on agenda items and emergency agenda item materials, P. The proposed change made in paragraph (1) is that "The Administration may develop policies and procedures to implement this section, subject to the review and approval of Council." 4- 83 £. The existing KMC L 15.050(c} appears to conflict with KMC 1.15.040 in that paragraph (c} states in part that "The Council's agenda may be prepazed by an appropriate administrative ofx"icer" while KMC .15.040 states that "The agenda shall be prepared by the ity Clerk after consultation wifh the City Manager and the Mayor." A repeal of of KMC 1.15.050(c} eliminates this conflict. t Bob Molloy -$_ 84 ~. Chapter 1.15 RULES OF ORDER Sections: 1.15.010 Presiding officer. 1.15.020 City Clerk.

City Planner Kebschull reviewed the staff report included in the packet, noting the following: • Approval of the plat would subdivide Government Lot 156 into two lots. • .Both lots would meet the minimum Iot size and dimensions required for the Rural Residential zone. • The plat would dedicate a half dedication for the Highbush Lane and Rainbow Drive rights of-way. • The property is served with on-site water and sewer as city utilities are not available. • The current nonconforming structure located on the lot to be designated as Lot 156B and accessed via a driveway along Rainbow Drive. • From the survey, the existing structure on the new Lot 156B encroaches into the front setback along Rainbow Drive, but because it is a nonconforming structure and the subdivision would not increase the nonconformity, the property could be subdivided. • No installation agreement for the Rainbow Drivve right-of-way was being required because the property was accessible off Rainbow Drive by a driveway in use since at least 1984. • Administration recommended approval with the correction of the street name to Highbush Lane.

Of the state's 6g9 airports, DOT&PF owns 256 coral airports spanni ro the state from the tip of the Aleutian Islands to the - Canadian border. Those 256, of course, ',o notinclude the state's tyao intemadonal airports -Anchorage and Fairbanks. Roger Maggard, airport develop- ment manager for DOT&PF, has oversight for funding the department's projects at the rural airports. "We have a number of projects to bring meal airports up to the state's and FAA's (Federal Aviation Administration) standazds," Maggard said. "These proj- ects are funded primarily by the FAA under the Airport Improvement Program with the state providing the match fund- ing- FAAfunds 95 percentand the slate funds the remaining5 percent We've had a substanfial reducfion in federal funding this year over previous years. Congress limited FAA to a shortened contracting period this year, and reduced funding while they debate the FAA Reauthoriza- tion Act," Maggard said. "We're hoping they release addi- tional funding later in the year, In the meantime, we have several projects that were funded last year and under construction this year." ~a~t~vsa~ E~€at~~t®~s This year's projects include upgrades to the mnway at Nightmute, where the runway will be extended to 3,200 feet under a $12.4 million contract with Knik Construction, a.Seattle=based subsidiary of Lynden Inc. Knik will extend the runway, expand the apron, put down gravel surfacing, install a new lighting system and build anequipment- storage building. $ering Pacific Constmction of An- chorage has a ~l'3.3 million contract www.akbizmag.com ^ Al8slc8 $IIISYrIt8S9 Monthly ..August 2008 i -- to 3 percent each year for the next 20 years. Palmer is targefing air carrier maintenance facilities such as Hageland Aviation's, which recenfly relocated to Palmer. ~, to do the same type of work on the Nunapitchuk airport. The runway will be 2,420 feet in length compared to the desired 3,300 feet, said Ivlaggard, because of the terrain constraints. "Our objective is to get most of the small village airports as close as we can Eo 3,3D0 feet," Maggard said, "and to install runway Lighting and an equipment storage building. The 3,300-foot runway was adopted as a state standard for community-class airport runways based upon the stan- dard FAA considers acceptable for instrument approaches. The FAA standard is 3,100 feet, and we've added another lOD feet onto that to accommodate variations in air tem- peratureand airport elevation.° In Kongiganak, Quality Asphalt Paving has a $I6.1 million contract io upgrade the airport to the same stan- lords as those for Nightmute and Nu- napitchuk, but again the length will be shorter, according to Maggard, by approximately 1,800 feet. Alaska Interstate Construction (AIC) has tackled the airport run- way work, including repair of earth- quake damage from the magnitude 7.9 earthquake in November 2002. That earthquake destroyed Ntarth- way's 5,000-foot runway. AIC's con- tract with the state for this work is $15.3 znitlion. AIC also has a nearly $7 million'contracf to relocate the Minto airport. "Nor#hway's funding'is different from the rest of the airports,° Mag- gazdsaid. "FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) is funding 100 percent of the project." AtAlakanuk, I{nil: Construcdon has a contracifor approximately $5 million for a portion of the work needed to relocate the airport to bring the runway up to current state and FAA standards, This,project is currently in Phase II, Maggazd said, and primarily consists of roadwork. Aggregate Construction Corp, of Sika has a $3.7 million contract to do runway, taxiway and apron improve- ments at Klawock. For nearly a cenxury Alaskan companies have come to rely on the Alaska Railroad. Whatever the industry, if you need to transpott it, build it, or barge it, the Alaska Railroad has tons of experxise and strength to go around.

Wrnce-Corthell-Bryson, consurfing project engineers to the City of Kenai, has drawn plans ro add float-plane spaces and lease lots. projects are scheduled for completion in summer or early fall of 2008 and `1009. Under contracts already awarded, Cordova will get a sand storage shed - recently awarded to North Pacific Erec- tors -for just over $2 million. A contract awazded to L&NIMKB Joint Denture, Kizkland, Wash., for $1.7 million will build an embankment in preparation for reconstructing the Lake Louise air- port. Quality Asphalt Paving of An- choragewill repave the Nome mnway for more than $6 million, and R1cGraw Custom Construcfion of Sitka will build a snow removal, and sand and chemical. storage building for Ketchikan's airport for nearly $4.3 million. "Wa have a very large airport system with. a great numher of needs," Maggard said. "There are in excess of $1 billion in needs currently identified, and we have such a limited amount of funding. We go through a fairly structured process for evaluating the priorities and scoring the projects through aproject evaluation committee.

"We're adding another 750 feet to over-run area at each end of the runway, Making it from 7.,504-feet to 9,500-feet long," Carney said. "It's a little challenging because we have a salmon creek that ran across the end of the runway and had to be relocated. "The contractor had a couple of env;ronn?erttalists on staff to tell them how ko fell trees, make bedding ar- eas, and where to put different-sized rocks; Carney said. Secon, headquartered in Juneau, is the general contractor on this $38 mil- lion contract with the State of Alaska. "There will be new navigational aids at each end of the runway, too," Carney said. "We have a minimum threshold for an airplane to land - whether it's a visual or instrument landing. If the weather is below that minimum, the plane will bypass the airport. With the new navaids, we'll be able to lower that threshold and can get more planes on the ground in bad weather." The third project is the complete repaving of the runway and the new overrun area. AlI three projects are scheduled to be complete in the sum- mer of 2009, Cazney adr~ed. www.aTcbizmag.cont AIB.SICff BUS$IESS MOrichly • August 2008 Rn aerial view of the Tuntutuliak Airport.

Another project targeted to help Ketchikan's economic development is the Gravina Island highway -tatting a road 3 1/2 miles south to open ad- ditional airport and private land to airport-related development. Kiewit Pacific Canstructiun is the general on this $25.7 million job under contract to the state, and the road will be com- plete this fall. Turning to future projects, Carney said-the airport will build a pump station, yet to be bid, and replace boilers for the terminal. "We pay an oil bill tike everyone else," Carney said, "and we need to be more fuel-efficient. We also struggle for parking, so we're Looking at expanding our parking space. These are our two major goals for next year -parking improvements and more efficient elec- trical and fuel use." Wince-Corthell-Bryson in Kenai and consulting project engineer to the City of Kenai, said 15,000 feet of service roads around the airfield was con- structed and 20,000 feet of security fencing has recently been replaced. "Over tl-,e past faux or five years, we've spent nearly $15 million on the airport," said Airport Manager Mary Bondurant. Lilze other airports, Kenai also is upgrading its safety areas, lighting and signage and navaids, Bondurant said. As part of the safety-area improve- ments, Kenai's runway now has a grooved surface for safer wet•pave- ment landings, said Madden. Quality Asphalt Paving is the prime contractor for the Kenai airport work, with major subs that include Dimond Electric of Anchorage, Maore's Landscaping of Kenai, McLane Consulting Group of Saldotna, Acme Fencing of Anchorage and Pacific Asphalt Inc. of Anchorage. Bondurant said auee storage building is scheduled for construction this summer, but the bids had not yet been opened. "The cost is estimated at $500,000,° Bondurant said, "and having the urea stored on site will allow us to respond im- mediately to runway icing conditions." Bondurant added that 95 percent of the funding spent to upgrade the airport comes from FAA, 2.5 percent from the State of Alaska and the re- maining 2.5 percent from the city. "We've done supplemental plan- ning on the airport master plan several times," Madden said. "The Iasi supple- mental plan we did was in 2006: "Now, we're working on developing the north end of the ramp and looking at developing the float-plane basin for commercial air taxi and general aviation, probably creating some lease lots.° "I was just at the aviation trade show in Anchorage inApril,~ said Bondurant "There was a lot of interest in our float plane basin and apron capabilities.° ~~LPd~~ ~t~ws, ~a~ FEST9JHE At Palmer, Airport Manager Jane Dale said she's deep into a new mas- ter plan this year, as well as doing survey work on runway approaches, electrifying the gate on the south ramp as part of the airport's security work, and electrifyingsome tie-downs wwwakbizmag.com • Alaska BusineSSMoRthly ~ August 2008 1£tr~at @atw~®v~as~~~s Kenai airport is wrapping up termi- nal modifications, securit}' upgrades, runway reconstruction and expansion of the float-plane basin.

Print Page ~ C Close Window `~ if you never learned to love the glow of Anchorage's Plnklsh-orange street lamps -- or the way Some of them aim their way Into your bedroom at night -- take heart. Earlier this month, the Anchorage Assembly appropriated $2.2 million to phase out 26out a fourch of the city's street lamps, repia<Ing the old energy-hog sodium bulbs with "smarter" fixtures that emit whitish, power-saving LED light. Because Cha new lamps use about 50 percent less electricity than the old lights, the alty expects to save 5360,000 a year 1n energy cosYS alone, according to Mayor Mary. Begich, who intr otluced the measure last month. The new Ilghts are also expected to last up to 20 years --about seven times longer than the old high-pressure sodium bulbs, which burn out every two or three years, according to Michael Barber, the city's lighting program manager. The old lights had one virtue -- at about 510 a bulb they were cheap, Barber said. And the new tights will come with one drawback -- at $E00 per fixture, they're expensive. But the city expects to save money in the long run by virtually eliminating the 5100,000 a year It pays to change bulbs. "We have 8,000 light bulbs Chat are burning out every two and a half years, and we're sending out union labor to go and change them," Barber said. "And while the bulb doesn't casC very much, the labor does." The new Ilghts are also touted as an improvement in terms of safety and aastheti¢. Whereas the old rights would sometimes shin= places people didn't want them to shine, the LEDs are shluded and can be aimed where they're needed, Barber said. They also create IeSS glare in the Sky. The quality of IIghC Is different too. A controlled survey by the mayor's office last winter invdving SO Anchorage residents in one group and 40 lighting experts In another found Cnat both groups preferced the whiter, full-spectrum LED lighting to the oranglsh hue of the old street lamps. Examining a test area in Soytn Anchorage, women said they felt safer Dn the streets with the white lights, and police said Che new lamps made night ob}acts easier to see and the colors more realistic. "She pollee are really excited because they'll be able to LO, cars nova," Barber said. "They pan see what color jacket people are really wearing -- rather than blue looking Tike same sort of beige." But don't expect Anchorage to transform itself overnight, Not affected by Che iNtiative are the giant, state operated Tight towers along the Seward and 61ann highways with their massive B,GOG-watt bulbs that shine like orange beacons 130 leek high. Also unaffected will be the state-maintained lights on the clCy's busiest strees. to sll etas are about :6,000 straat lamps In the Anchpraga Bpwl, Eagle River and Girdwcod thah are either malntalried by the city or tfy local vCilkies end another 2:000 or sa lamps maintained by Che state, Barber said. The Initiative passed by the Assembly will allow the city (c replace half the 8,000 streetlights It oversees, beginning on resideo[ial streets with [he smartest lights -- the 150-watt street (amps that stand 30 feat high -- followed by the 250-watt street (amps cn "collector streets" (roads with a speed lim'It of 35 mph). Barber expects the LED, or "light emitting diode," fixtures to begin arriving from their Wisconsin-based manufacturer m Octotreq and for their Installation to take approximately six months.

Central Peninsula Crime Stoppers was created for the purpose of reducing the burden on local governments by assisting law enforcement agencies to capture criminals and reduce crime. Primarily we do this by providing the infrastructure with which tipsters can provide anonymous information to Police, and by providing the incentive of rewards for those acts of good citizenship. The Crime Stoppers concept was begun. in Albuquerque New Mexico in 1976, and has since spread to over 1200 communities in 13 countries. It has proven itself an effective method of solving crime. in communities throughout the wand. Our Central Peninsula Crime Stoppers is one of 12 Crime Stoppers organizations in Alaska. We are hoping that the City of Kenai will consider becoming a Crime Stoppers Sponsor, as it will send a message to the community that Crime Stoppers is a valuable partner with Police in the fight against crime. We offer many levels of sponsorship, and contributions can range from. 550 to 55000. Our cr?rrent sponsors are lisied on our website at ttniF4x i 4+i;!:~(J Sfr~ .Y;_f "iS1Y.. Grime Stoppers is operated by an all volunteer Board of Directors, and we have 6 Police representatives serving as liaisons between their agencies and our Board to make sure that the actions we take are servsitive to the Police mission. Over recent years our Directors have came predominantly from. the Kenai/Soidotna area, even though our bylaws encourage Peninsula-wide involvement. We currently have a number of vacancies on the Board and are hoping you will also help us find someone who will be interested in serving on our Board. We have recently changed our bylaws to provide a designated seat to each of the govermnents we serve, and want to invite you to designate someone of good character from your council or community at Iarge to be an acfive Director on the Crime Stoppers Board. Board participation is not contingent on sponsorship. Our Board meets at the Soldotna Police Department at noon on the second Tuesday of each Month. We are eager to install new Directors candidates as quickly as possible because we 127 are intending to host a local training event with Crime Stoppers USA founder, Greg MacAleese; in mid October. Included with. this letter are some informational rnateriats about our Central Peninsula Crime Stoppers and letters of support from our Chiefs of Police and Ttooper Detachment Captain. If you have any questions about Crime Stoppers please don't hesitate to contact me. I will do my best to provide any additional information you might require. We will be grateful for your support of this valuable crime figlafing resource. Respectfully submitted, Katie ~<r~°=Y; secretary mall: ~ M V'Stk'S'a~~~. G ro~is'yxri_4{ ,y/ Er.~b~l ~...C t)Ct1~.
