WHEREAS, the City of Kenai wishes to amend the agreement dated July 1, 1969 to exclude all elected officials effective January 18, 2006. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, that effective January 18, 2005, Subparagraph 2 on Page 2 of the Participation Agreement be amended to read as follows: 2. The political subdivision agrees that all eligible employees except in the following designated category will participate in the Retirement System: All Elected Officials PASSED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, this 18th day of January 2006. PAT PORTER, MAYOR ATTEST: Carol L. Freas, City Clerk Approved by Finance: (01 / 11 / 2006) hl MEMORANDUM To: Chuck Kopp, Acting City Manager From: Larry Semmens, Finance Director Date: January 10, 2006 Subject: PERS for Elected Officials Representative Seaton recently published his analysis of the cost of PERS for elected officials. The results are quite surprising. He estimates the entity's total liability to be over $434,000 for an elected public official that vests after 10 years of service and retires to collect benefits for 22 years. The majority of the liability is generated from the medical benefit provided by PERS. Representative Seaton estimates this to be $368,545, but could range upward to $450,000 depending on variables. The PERS system seeks to accumulate sufficient assets while an employee is working to pay for benefits paid out over the term of retirement. Employees must contribute 6.75% of salary in addition to what the employer pays. Since council members have a relatively low salary, the amount that they pay into the system is also relatively small. The employer must make up the difference in the total cost of benefits and the amount the employee puts in. In the case of council members the City will have to put in over $13,000 annually such that there would be about $200,000 available at the end of 10 years using the PERS earning assumption of 8.25%. One other aspect of elected officials participating in PERS is that if a city council member ever works for a PERS employer in a regular salaried position, the cost of the pension benefits will be apportioned strictly by the number of years of service at each employer. For example if a council member served for 12 years (at a low salary) then went to work for a PERS employer (at a high salary) for 4 years, the City would be liable for 75% (12/16) of the pension liability. Depending on the salary level the City could incur greater liability than would be for just the 12 years of City employment. The cities of Seward and Homer have opted elected officials out of PERS.

ITEM B: SCHEDULED PUBLIC COMMENTS Mayor Pat Porter -- Presentation of Legislative Citation to Kenai Firefighters Association. j '°V'~la~e wit~i a Past, G`°~ wit~r a Future `° ~„~~. 210 Fidalgo Avenue, Kenai, Alaska 99611-7794 -_ _- Telephone: 907-283-75351 FAX: 907-283-3014 t'~~'- 1992 t~1C CL~Of KENAI.ALASKA MEMO: TO: Mayor Porter and Council FROM: Chuck Kopp, Acting City Manager ~/""`" DATE: January 11, 2006 SUBJECT: Shore Fishery Lease Fees In 1995, Administration brought to Council the discussion of shore fishery lease fees. This resulted in the current Kenai Municipal Code regulations governing tideland leases for shore fisheries, which sets the annual minimum rent at $300 per yeaz. The annual rent may be raised to match any fee increases of similar tideland leases of State owned tidelands (see KMC 11.20.790). The City of Kenai, as does the State of Alaska, treats tideland leases for shore fisheries differently from normal land leasing policies that require a percent of fair mazket value. The State of Alaska considers their tideland lease fees to be strictly administrative, not based on a value return for benefits gained from use of public property. Recently, the market for Cook Inlet salmon has been on the rise. There has been a corresponding increase in market value of fish set net permits and sites. The City of Kenai tideland leases aze some of the most desirable sites in the Cook Inlet set net shore fishery. These sites are razely transferred. The questions for Council consideration are whether the City is leasing property at well below its market value, and if so, is this a policy we wish to continue. While the State of Alaska chooses to do this, it does not mean the City must settle for below mazket return on assets. As to the first question, southern Cook Inlet east side leases of tideland properties for shore fisheries are transferred from one lessee to another for a current market value ranging from $30,000.00 to 5200,000.00. The value depends on site location and productivity. In the 1990's, when the price per pound exceeded 52.OQ the value of some Cook Inlet shore fishery teases approached $1,000,000.00. ~ Because the City of Kenai shore fishery leases are commonly recognized in the fishing industry as some of the most valuable in Cook Inlet, $300.00 annual rent is cleazly below the mazket value of the lease. As to the public policy question, it may be that Council wishes to continue present practice for reasons other than the annual fee of $300.00. The City of Kenai has seven tideland leases for shore fisheries. If approved by Council, Mr. Ted Crookston's lease application will bring the total to eight tideland leases. Six of these tideland leases will expire June 30, 2006. One was recently renewed for 10 years to the Kenai Salmon Company, and has an expiration date of June 30, 2015. Administration recommends the lease application for Mr. Ted Crookston be approved for a period of two years, rather than the requested ten years. This will allow for Administration to further explore questions of tideland use by commercial fisherman, the actual market value of the lease, and various options for calculating shore fisheries lease rates. During the April budget work sessions, Council and Administration can have a full discussion of shore fishery leases and determine if our current lease fee structuze should be changed, or remain as is for the next 10 years. ~ January 12, 2006 interviews with set net site tideland leaseholders located on K-Beach, south of the Kenai River, and in the Clam GuIch/Kasilof azea.

Council Member Massie SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. H-3. Approval -- Tidelands Lease Applications/Ted J. Crookston -- City of Kenai Shore Fishery No. 2. Ted Crookston, 42321 North Cook Inlet Drive, Kenai -- Crookston introduced himself as the applicant for the subject Shore Fishery Lease and gave a brief background of his fishing experience and use of set net leases. Referring to the memorandum included in the packet related to shore fishery lease fees submitted by Acting City Manager Kopp, Crookston explained he submitted a lease application for a ten-yeaz lease at $300/year (as allowed by code), the lease application had been reviewed and recommended for approval by both the Harbor and Planning 8c Zoning Commissions and the city was now suggesting changing the term of the lease from ten years to two. Crookston noted issues he had with the information included in the memorandum and indicated, changing the lease from ten years to two would not be acceptable to him as his determination of the length of the lease was based on the investment he would be making with purchase of equipment, nets, skiffs, etc. and the fishery forecasts. Kopp explained the intent of the memorandum was to note shore fishery leases have value separate from the permits; when sold, other equipment goes with the sale; and, the $100 State fee is an administrative fee. It was also noted, because there would be six other leases up for renewal in 2006, setting this lease term to two years would KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 1$, 2006 PAGE 8 allow time to research the best use of the public resource and discuss the lease terms during budget work sessions. Ross expressed concern it would be inappropriate to change the lease term for the Crookston lease at this point because the code had been followed in the process which allows for aten-year lease. MOTION: Council Member Swarner MOVED to approve the tidelands lease application for City of Kenai Shore Fishery No. 2 to Ted J. Crookston for a term of ten years at $300 every year as stated in the memorandum (included in the packet). Council Member Moore SECONDED the motion.

Box 670812 Chugiak, AK 99567 Re: Shore Fishery Lease -Tract 7, Shore Fishery Plat #71 Dear Lessee: Your shore fishery leases will expire on June 30, 2006. Covenant 42 of your lease allows you a preference right to re-lease the shore fishery site. Covenant 42 also states, "Re-leasing will not necessarily be under the same terms and conditions as the prior lease." If you intend to renew your lease under this clause, please notify me in writing at the above address, or by faxing a letter to my attention at (907) 283-3014. The matter will be forwarded to the Hazbor Commission and the Plannhig and Zoning Commission for recommendations to the City Council for approval. Because several of the shore fishery leases are expiring this year, I would like to process all of the lease renewals at the same time. If I receive responses from all lessees by March 30`" we can begin the process by scheduling the issue for the April 10`" Harbor Commission. If I haven't received a response from everyone by March 30`", but before Apri128`", I can schedule the matter for the May 8`" meeting. If you have any questions, please give me a call at (907) 283-8223 or e-mail me at khoward(c~c i lcenai. ak. us.

Project Protect is a collaboraeive effort that is designed, coordinated and implemented by youth from the Kenai Clubhouse, Kenai Teen Center and the City of Kenai to resolve the maintenance and restoration challenges imposed upon the beaches and sand dunes located at the mouth of the Kenai River during the summer. Each yeaz, from mid-May to end-August, the mouth of the river is inundated with local citizens, tourists and subsistence fishers. The beaches rapidly become littered with fish carcasses, forgotten fishing equipment, paper, soda cans, etc. As a result, the sand dunes and surrounding vegetation also suffer. Fencing and barriers must be constantly monitored and repaired throughout the season. With the sound commitment generated between Club members and the City of Kenai, the Parks and Recreation staff is complemented by the partnership to continue adequate services for the beaches and sand dunes. Each year Project Protece 2004 and 2005 realized 20-25 youth volunteers ages ten to eighteen working together with the Parks and Recreation to ensure the beaches were clean. Upon our efforts to conduct Project Protect 2004, we quickly Teamed that our presence on the beach made it possible for the City of Kenai to realize its goal to maintain the busiest sections of the beach. Post-season, the young volunteers' observations and slide show were presented to the City of Kenai February 16, 2005. At that time, youth described what they found and what would not have been achieved had they not been committed to the regular restoration and maintenance schedule. Together Pazks and Recreation staff and Club members met twice weekly to work on various projects specific to on-site areas in need. Whether it was digging out metal-grated walkways, digging fence holes, posting signs, removing refuge, or simply reminding visiting tourists to be user friendly, these volunteers, ages ten to eighteen, stayed committed to Project Protect. In reflection, the success of the program was lazgely due to the student-driven initiative. Members were influential with the scheduling as well as with the completion of each day's activities. What happened during Project Protect 2005 and what's in store for PP06? Members collected -3,330 pounds of trash, mended fencing and erected permanent signs on the north and south beaches. Members kept a journal and met post-activity to shaze their findings on beach days. The 2006 process will be conducted in three phases by the Project Coordinator, Club members and the Kenai Parks & Recreation staff to encourage community volunteerism from individuals in the private and business sectors: 1. They will shaze and discuss their findings. 2. They will create evaluations forms for volunteers, staff and community partners. 3. They will disseminate the collected data, describe their outcomes and present their recommendations to city council October 2007. In closing, it should be noted that this program would not have met fruition without the shazed vision recognized by the Alaska Community Service Commission and the local partnerships generated with the City of Kenai Parks & Recreation Department, the Kenai Watershed Forum and the Kenai River Sports Fishing Association; we truly appreciate the foresight to invest in our youth. We anticipate that the proactive efforts set forth by the actions of today's youth will instill a sense of environmental stewardship in tomorrow's leaders. With each yeaz that Project Protect continues to gain support, sustainability and longevity, Local residents will understand, value and invest in the immediate responsibility to participate in this important act of civic duty. It is our organization's determination to continue the positive, immediate outcomes that Project Protect achieves. On behalf of those young members that are on the beach today, we hope that the City of Kenai will continue to invest in the project with an annual contribution to offset summer costs realized by the program.

In addition, I would ask that implementation of a person answering the phone at City Hall be given very serious consideration. In my contacts with City Hall, I am somewhat "put off' by the recorded answering device. I realize this was most likely done with the utmost efficiency in mind, however, it does not render a very caring nor "service minded" agency. It is my understanding that the current part-time receptionist position receives full City benefits. Therefore, the cost to implement afull-time receptionist available to eespond to citizen concerns, questions, et ai should be minimal. Also, we would Tike to express our satisfaction with the excellent services provided by the City of Kenai as this was the compelling reason for our recent move back into the City. We would definitely urge that no positions and/or services be cut nor a redaction in the mill rate be considered if such actions were presented to the Council. Thank you and I would be very willing to answer any questions you may have regarding this request. Sincerely, Sue Carter CC: Richard Koeh, City Manager
