B-I. Fred Braun, President, Kenai Convention & Visitors Bureau --
Heafing System and Kitchen Remodel.
Referring to information included in the packet, Braun discussed concerns the Kenai
Convention 8v Visitors Board (KVCB) had with the heating system repair project,
confusion of what would be done, and wanted a system to be adequate to control dust,
filtration, and humidity for housing the artwork and artifacts they maintained for the
City of Kenai. Additional concerns included adding a surveillance system to the
building and to be sure the remodel of the kitchen be DEC approved.
A brief discussion followed by council and administration, with the following
comments included:
The building was not designed for a museum.
Advertisement of the request for proposals would begin in approximately
two weeks.
• There were restrictions for a kitchen incorporated into a museum, i.e. no
windows, no dust filtration, etc.
• The new system would include a humidifier but no dehumidification.
• Because the remodel design would not include airlocks, interior
atmospherically-controlled display cases were suggested.
• It was necessary for council to determine whether the building should be
considered a museum.
• Concerns expressed the building help museum-quality items and a lesser
system than the previous system should not be installed in order to protect the items
stored.
A review of funds available for the project followed. It was noted, if council did not
want to move forward with the project, the project schedule would be impacted and
that the surveillance system was not included in the budget. Administration was
requested to meet with Braun to discuss concerns and to investigate whether there
would be liability of damage to exhibits knowing museum-quality exhibits were located
in the facility and it was not a museum.
