Borough Planning: Bryson reported a meeting was held on August 25 and the consent agenda was approved as presented. Bryson added, all items under Public Hearings were approved except the proposed reclassification for the 13.84 acres in Cooper Landing which was denied. However, a motion was made that the Borough proceed with the Sunrise Proposal which includes the area involved. This will go as a recommendation to the Assembly. Item F-11, Ordinance 97-65, Authorizing Emergency Timber Harvest was approved. The parcel described lies along the northern border within the City of Kenai and concern was expressed on whether this work would proceed. Item G-1, Vacation of Lot 5A, Block 19, Original Townsite of Kenai was postponed. Discussion was held on why this item (which was removal of a utility post) was postponed. Bryson reported that approval of the vacation could not be recommended as removal of any facilities within an easement would be between the petitioner and the utility company. This item was postponed until September 22 which should give the petitioner time to submit the necessary additional information which includes documentation that payment for removal of PTI facilities was accomplished or documentation from PTI stating the facilities were not in the easement. Goecke reported the post was not in the easement. Glick asked about the status on the Zubeck easement that was sent back to the City of Kenai. Kebschull answered a hearing was held at the last regular City Council meeting and Council has 30 days to make a decision. c. Administration: Kebschull announced that Council, in their Special Meeting on August 26, approved the Alaska Regional Fire Training facility contract. The contract was awarded to Alcan contingent upon FAA funding. Kebschull reported this will likely be a phase project and some items may be renegotiated within the bid. 11.
