SUBJECT: Appropriation of Funds and Increase to
Purchase Order 80016 to Alaska OiB Sales for
Diesel and Unleaded Fuel
Due to increased fuel costs and major equipment repair parts, we request an
additional $35,000 be appropriated to the shop operating supplies account. For
the current budget year through February 2006, fuel expenditures have averaged
$9,190. With what is encumbered currently, I estimate a $20,000 increase to
Purchase Order No. 80016 will be needed to finish out the year. The remainder
will be available in the account for other operating supplies, as needed.

Date: March 23, 2006
To: City Manager Koch
From: Fire Chief Tilly
Subject: Money Transfer
I am requesting a transfer totaling $9,700 dollars from our account #4531 to
account # 8064 with the following reasoning.
Last yeaz, the former Chief had budgeted for the purchase of cardiac monitors for
the sum of $22,000. As with many things in industry, the post Katrina prices for
these same monitors has doubled. As was explained during the budget session
last year, our current cardiac monitors aze being phased out. We were advised
from the manufacturer that we would not be able to purchase parts for these
pieces of equipment in the near future. The monitors that we presently use are not
diagnostic monitors and have only a " 3-lead" capability. Industry standard for
pre-hospital cardiac care has moved towards a "12-lead" cardiac monitoring in the
field. Simply stated, these will have the same capabilities that the emergency
room relies on.
Last year we were awarded a FEMA grant that included funds for physicals for all
members of the department. Account #4531 has $7,600 that will not be
expended on physicals this. fiscal year. These funds could be used to purchase the
cardiac monitors. Also in account. #4531 is $2,100 that is for a service contract
for cardiac monitors. The new monitors come with a 1 year warrantee and this
money will not be needed this fiscal yeaz if the new monitors are purchased.
These two transfers combined with the $22,000 already in the account will allow
us to take advantage of a promotional opportunity given by the manufacturer to
purchase 2 monitors with a combined value of $55,839 for $31,545. This is a
savings of almost $25,000: This is a limited time opportunity and it is my
recommendation that we take advantage of it to get the most from our money.

To: Mayor Porter and Kenai City Council
From: Lawrence A. Semmens, Acting City Manager
RE: Resolution No. 2006-15Ball Quality Suflders, Inc., Offer to Purchase 26 Lots in
Inlet Woods Subdivision
The Administration recommends passage of Resolution No. 2006-15, approving the sale of 26 tots in
Inlet Woods Subdivision to Hall Quality Builders. Mr. Hall has offered $31'7,000 cash for the remaining
lots the City has for sale in the subdivision. This is the total amount of the listed price ($353,000) less a
10% discount for cash.
Consideeations include the following:
• The City accepted the property in lieu of cash in the bankruptcy claims settlement;
• It would Likely take several years before all of the lots would be sold;
• There is the benefit of earning interest on the revenue of the sale (currently approaching 5%);
• A realtor wasn't involved in the sale, potentially saving the City a 5% real estate commission
from the proceeds;
• There will be a savings in advertising costs and staff time to mazket and sell the properties;
• There is a public perception that the City is competing with private developers and realtors by
maintaining an inventory of subdivision lots.
If the resolution is approved, and once the pending sale closes, the only lots the City will own in the
subdivision aze five lots that were retained for street drainage and one parcel obtained through tax
foreclosure which will be included in the next auction.

($353,000) less a 10% discount for cash. There have been no offers to purchase these properties.
In 2003, the City sold eight lots to Phil and Eileen Bryson (with a 7% discount for cash) for $107,880.
One of the parcels included in Mr. Hall's proposal, Lot 12, Block 13, was not part of the bankruptcy
claims settlement, but was acquired through foreclosure and a deed to us from the former owner. Taxes
in the amount of $879.43 will need to be paid to the Borough from the proceeds.
Attached is a resolution authorizing the sale. It includes a list of the properties and their 2006 assessed
values (not yet certified). Let me know how you would like to proceed.

Subject: Purchase of Cardiac Monitors
The Fire Department wishes to purchase a specifac brand/model cardiac monitors (2), and
the purchase price of $ 31,400.00 exceeds the limit of $ 25,000 under which competitive
bidding is not required per KMC 7.15.050(a).
The brand/model of cardiac monitor is uniquely compatible with AED's (defibrillators)
located throughout the City of Kenai (see Chief Tilly's 3/26/06 memo).
The use of the requested cardiac monitor will provide professional rescuers the ability to
CoruieCt tti tl'iC saiTic Cables airc'adj% in iisc with eiTiergenCy equipment (AED'S).
The requested cardiac monitors are only available through one company, and through a
single dealer representative located in Redmond, Washington, whose territory is the
Pacific Northwest, including Alaska.
My recommendation is to approve the purchase of the cardiac monitors without
competitive bidding per KMC 7.15.050(b) as the equipment can only be famished by a
single dealer.

From: Fire Chief Tilly
Subject: Cardiac Monitor purchase
The purchase price of 2 (two) new cardiac monitors is above the minimum price
for having to go to a competitive bid and the following reasons should be
considered for sole sourcing this particular order.
We currently have Physio-Control Lifepak brand AED's tocated throughout the
City. Kenai Central High School has one located in the nurse's office. The Kenai
Senior Center has 3 (three) located in Senior Housing and 1 (one) in the Senior
Center. In addition, we carry one on our Squad Truck. The new monitors that we
wish to purchase are designed to use the same cables. A "continuation of care"
has been designed into the monitors so that professional rescuers have a seamless
transition from CPR and AED administered by the public to advanced cardiac life
support care given by Paramedics
Physio-Control is a global company whose cardiac monitors are used worldwide
and have set the standard in the industry. Physio-Control Lifepak monitors have
been used in this department for the past 2v years. Frorn the initiation of
advanced Life support, the City has relied on Physio-Control's defibrillators and
monitors and has enjoyed a stellar performance of this equipment. We have been
completely satisfied with the quality, performance, service and support from this
company over the years. The service contract that is currently in place ensures a
yearly check up, calibration and replacement of wom equipment.
The Physio-Control Company is offering the "trade-in" promotion that we would
like to take advantage of. This program allows us to trade in our old monitors
saving $2,000. In addition, they currently have a discount program that will save
another $22,000.
I feel it is imperative that ole source purchasing of these cardiac monitors be
given strong consideration to'assure a smooth transition of care between first
responders utilizing AED's, and advanced Life support being given by City of
Kenai Medics maybe accomplished.

RESOLUTION NO. 2006-19
A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, SUPPORTING
THE INCLUSION OF THE TWO COOK INLET LEASE SALES IN THE FEDERAL
MINERALS MANAGEMENT SERVICE'S OUTER CONTINENTAL SHELF OIL AND GAS
LEASING PROGRAM OF 2007-2012.
WHEREAS, the federal Minerals Management Service (MM5) is seeking comments on
its next five-year plan for access to oil and gas resources on the Outer Continental
Shelf (OCS); and,
WHEREAS, two of the nine lease sales proposed by MMS in Alaska are located in Cook
Inlet; and,
WHEREAS, that Draft Proposed Plan (DPP) will determine where federal OCS oil and
gas lease sales will occur over the five-year period of 2007-2012; and,
WHEREAS, if an area is not made available for leasing in the plan, leasing will not be
considered again for that area until beyond 2012; and,
WHEREAS, given long lead times for oil and gas development, which can exceed ten
years, MMS must proceed expeditiously with key lease sales in the 2007-2012 OCS
plan or production from new areas could be pushed back to 2020 and beyond; and,
WHEREAS: demand for energy is continuing to rise; however, mature oll and gas
basins in the United States are in steep decline. Furthermore, the United States is
heavily dependent on foreign imports and Gulf of Mexico production, and recent
hurricanes have demonstrated the need to geographically diversify domestic supplies;
and,
WHEREAS, a Draft Environmental Impact Statement for Cook Inlet Lease Sales 191
and 199 showed significant oil and gas reserves located in the OCS of Cook Inlet; and,
WHEREAS, OCS oil and gas development has an outstanding safety and
environmental record spanning decades. Such development has coexisted with other
industries, including fishing, in the North Sea, the Gulf of Mexico and Cook Inlet; and,
WHEREAS, technological advances and a strong regulatory framework in which
Alaska oil and gas development occurs will mitigate environmental risks; and,
WHEREAS, OCS oil and gas production in Cook Inlet would provide many economic
benefits to the Kenai Peninsula Borough and State of Alaska, including hundreds of
new jobs, additional tax and royalty income to the state and estimated additional
property tax revenues to the Kenai Peninsula Borough of $2.7 million per yeaz over a
Resolution no. 2006-19

15 year period resulting from new pipelines and shore-based facilities built to deliver
oil or gas from the OCS; and,
WHEREAS, there is a strong need for additional natural gas development in Cook Inlet
to support both local consumer and industrial demand for natural gas; and.
WHEREAS, the City of Kenai recognizes it is essential to find new reserves of natural
gas in the Cook Inlet Basin in order to assure continued economic prosperity.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI,
ALASKA, that the City of Kenai supports the inclusion of the two Cook Inlet lease sales
in the Federal Minerals Management Service's Outer Continental Shelf oil and leasing
program of 2007-2012.

MOTION:
Council Member Ross MOVED the Substitute Ordinance No. 2142-2006 and Council
Member Moore SECONDED the motion.
Joe Ray Skrha -- Suggested a formal procedure be included in the ordinance for
stamping in or documenting receipt of the appeal and people in a neighborhood who
feel they aze aggrieved should be heard. Attorney Graves suggested a copy of the
appeal document, after being stamped received, be sent to the appellee.
Mark Osterman, 215 Fidalgo Aveaue, Kenai -- Osterman noted concerns he had
with the original ordinance. It was pointed out, the substitute ordinance had made
changes to those areas. Osterman was asked if the Kenai Baz Association had
reviewed the substitute and if not, was additional time to review it requested.
Osterman stated the Association would like more time to review the ordinance.
Laura Sievert, 3329 Beaver Loop Road, Kenai -- Stated her opposition to the
ordinance stating she believed it was too strict and encouraged council to leave the
appeal process as it currently was written.
Allen VanHorn, 2505 Mercer Street, Kenai -- Stated he believed the original
ordinance was anti-democratic and that a person should have the right to appeal even
if living more than 300 feet from the property. It was noted, in the substitute
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING
MARCH 15, 2006
PAGE 4
ordinance a person would have standing to appeal if the person could indicate "use or
enjoyment of the property" and the 300' limit would not apply.
Gerald Broolcman, ?15 Muir Avenue, Kenai -- Stated he still believed the ordinance
was too restrictive related to the ability for someone to appeal and believes any
resident of the city should have the right to appeal a Planning & Zoning decision; felt
the $100 filing fee would discourage appeals; and urged council to fail the ordinance.
Curt Wilcox, 3329 Beaver Loop -- Stated he believed the current appeal process
should be kept as there had not been that many appeals over the years, and the
suggested changes had not been justified.
There being no other public wishing to speak, the public hearing was closed.
Council discussion followed and comments included:
• Council Member Molloy stated he agreed with the public comments and
would not support the ordinance in the form presented and offered several issues he
believed needed attention, i.e. there had not been that many appeals over the yeazs,
believed the ordinance would restrict the public's right to appeal; the suggested
changes could result in litigation; and, are the suggested amendments to the
ordinance necessary,
• Council Member Ross stated he believed the substitute ordinance had
taken into account comments received during the initial public hearing; who would
have standing was very broad; and, who would determine standing was placed nn the
Boazd of Adjustment.
• Council Member Swarner questioned the filing fee and Attorney Graves
explained, currently there is no filing fee for appeals.

Council Member Swarner MOVED to amend Section A to add a subsection 5 to read

the dip net fishery, ordering and manufacturing of the concrete slabs, etc. would need
to be as soon as possible. A memorandum from the design engineer was reviewed
(provided at the beginning of the meeting) and it was noted, the scope of work had
been reduced, however the funds would need to be appropriated at this meeting in
order for the work to be completed prior to the opening of the dip net season.
Bill Nelson, 9Vm. Nelson & Associates -- Nelson explained the time and involvement
in manufacturing the concrete forms and planks; the project would be on a tight
timeline with regazd to when work could take place (Corps and tides); with either as
bid or reduced scope, time will be needed to make the planks if the work is to be

completed prior to the dip net season; and, if the funds are appropriated and the bid
awarded at this meeting, the contractor would be ordering materials in the morning.
Nelson also noted, in his estimates, he did not apply enough for inflation; if the project
began and was not completed by dip net season, the contractor would have to stop
work because of the congestion of people, boats and vehicles, however with the
completion date of June 30, liquidation damages would then apply.
Attorney Graves explained, if the city would delay the project, the completion date
would have to be altered; Administration chose to place the issue on the agenda with
knowledge Council would have the alternative to either proceed or not.
Discussion followed during which comments included:
• Desire to proceed with the project in order for it to be completed by July
1.

1. Iritroduction
The Challenger Learning Center of Alaska (CLCA) is a private, gol(c) (3)
nonprofit corporation that opened in April 2000 and is located in Kenai, Alaska.
It is the thirty-ninth of fifty-two centers in the Challenger Learning Center for
Space Science Education international network, a program created in 1986 by the
families of the astronauts lost in the Challenger 5i-L mission.
The purpose of the CLC network is to continue that crew's aim of engaging
students in the study of science, math and technology. Using space exploration
and its applications here on earth to capture the imagination of young people and
educators has proven benefits. The CLCA offers dynamic and exciting educational
programs that positively impact efforts in education reform.
A network of high technology spaceflight simulators enables students to apply
science and math concepts to real-life situations and problems. Each simulator
houses an operating hands-on model of the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA) Mission Control Center and a Space Life Station. CLCA
provides students and teachers with a unique educational experience. More than
just a day trip, their program is a simulation that begins in the classroom four to
six weeks prior to the mission date. In order to prepare their students, teachers
participate in a full day of training prior to presenting the program to their
classes.
Built with federal, corporate and private grants and donations, the CLCA is a
22,000 square-foot, high-tech facility with dorms and a full kitchen facility that is
entirely debt-free. It is truly amulti-purpose facility; as a learning center
available to all of e1aska znd a lacal commun:t;~ meeting place. The °^tire
population of Alaska is considered a viable audience to be served by the CLCA
because of its unique technological capabilities. Considering the vastness of our
state and the geographical diversity of our sparse population, the CLCA offers a
solution in the application of modern technology, or e-Missions (through the
Internet).
The purpose of this business plan is to guide the CLCA management in its next
steps moving from a grant based formula to a business model of operation. It is
also a tool used to present information about the CLCA to potential donors.

2. Executive Summary of Plan
The Challenger Learning Center of Alaska (CLCA) is helping prepare a new
generation of astronauts, scientists and engineers. Completed in 2000, the CLCA
has focused energy toward the development of outstanding educational math,
science and technological programs with great success. The facility, initially
constructed with funds from grants and donations, is debt-free and has enjoyed
the utilization of operational program grants to subsidize their market-driven
discounted prices for services. The received program grants have enabled the
successful completion of over 90o simulated space missions serving over 3i,ooo
students from across the state of Alaska.
Current grants are scheduled to expire, and the CLCA is re-invigorating the initial
financial support from corporate, community and private donors to continue to
offer the discounted product prices. We have also established an Endowment
Fund with the intent to eventuaIlyutiIize the earnings from the endowment to
supplement the discounted pricing program.
Immediate needs for the CLCA are to control operating costs, raise funds, and
effectively market programs. The new Executive Director, Larry Porter, has
committed to volunteering his services for a minimum of two years to direct the
programs and manage the business in this transition from grant-based subsidies
to a business model of operations.
The long term goal for the CLCA is to be a more self-sustaining enterprise.
Corporate, community and individual donations will always be necessary to
underwrite the discounted program costs if the CLCA is to effectively compete
with other educational programs that schools can spend their extracurricular
mor_ies on. But v`Jitl: the existing programs firmly ira place, the nevi- effoi Is in
operational efficiency and a focused marketing approach should allow the CLCA
to realize the majority of their operating income in the form of revenue for
services performed.
3. Mission and Strategies
3.1 Vision
Every year, every school in Alaska will have experience with the CLCA through its
missions, e-Missions, school bus to space, and workshops. The CLCA will be a
self-sustaining enterprise engaged in active and productive partnerships with
schools and businesses.
3.2 Mission
The mission of the CLCA is to inspire students to study science, math and
technology in a dynamic, hand-on space exploration environment. Through the
medium of space science education, students are encouraged to pursue higher
educational goals and opportunities that will better prepare them for success.
3.3 Current Objectives
• Maintain strength of K-r2 educational programs that provide a strong
content of math, science and technology and are delivered in a method
that is relevant and appealing to young people.
• Raise funds and donations of in-kind services and products to continue to
offer discounted programs and services to Alaska's students.
• Strengthen the Board with active participants from various disciplines that
bring enthusiasm, diverse backgrounds and varied relationships to help
develop the business and raise funds and in-kind donations.
• Recognize and re-establish relationships with business partners who had
contributed funding or in-kind donations in the past.
•:e D2velnp nPw relatir~nghint,s <nr+h l~ii.cin n~„c~g end Comm'.lmty par tnerS t^v
strengthen and expand the donor base.
•: Raise the profile of the CLCA to heighten awareness of its programs in
public and private schools statewide, and increase recognition of the
benefits of these programs to potential donors.
• Develop the donor base through a program of contribution request mah-
outs and "tele-thon" follow up phone calls by Board members and
volunteers.
• Identify and pursue potential grant opportunities.
6
3.4 Strengths and Challenges
The CLCA has great strengths yet many challenges to address. In order to move
to a business model of operation, the CLCA plans to:
wild on Key Strengths
• The use of space exploration as an educational medium and the focus on
benefiting children has appeal to active and potential supporters.
• A $~ million dollar debt free facility allows every dollar donated to benefit
programs and children with no funds going to debt service.
• Distance delivery and on-site educational programs are in place and well
developed.
• Over 35,000 children (~ooo per year), 3o school districts and 200 schools
have been served by the CLCA programs.
• The relationship with the national Challenger Learning Center Space
Science Education program brings resources and support at the national
level.
>:= The CLCA has a small group of employees for eore competencies and
access to part-time flight directors who are only utilized as program
commitments require, allowing for reduced personnel operating costs.
• The new Executive Director is a committed volunteer who brings a fresh
leadership direction focused on delivering services in an operational
business model versus agrant-based non-profit model.
•: An endowment fund which enables donors' contributions to give in
perpetuity has been established with the Alaska Community Foundation;
the goal of this endowment is to eventually have a sufficient investment
base that the earnings can supplement the discounted pricing of programs.
Resolve Internal Challenges
•:• As the final phase of an operational subsidy grant from NASA is complete,
limited funding is available to continue operations and must be replaced
by additional revenue, donations and other grants.
• Operational expenses must be controlled by the continued utilization of
volunteer labor and in-kind donations of supplies and ser~~ices.
• Programs must be effectively marketed to all public, private and home
school students keep the facility at capacity year-round and allow for
continuous and smoothed monthly revenue.
• Business and community relationships must be re-established and
cultivated for the donor base to become active again.
Fully Utilize External Opportunities
• The new Executive Director brings a network of relationships which has
already strengthened the donor base of contributions and in-kind
donations.
• Recruitment of new high profile Board members will enhance the support
system for the CLCA management team and create new opportunities for
marketing and fundraising.
•:> Re-establishing the focus on marketing E-missions to serve remote schools
eliminates their travel costs and increases the demand and resulting
revenue for this program.
~:• Further promotion and marketing of the corporate training programs will
raise the profile of this program and increase demand and revenue.
• The CLCA focus on education and children is supported by President
Bush's American Competitiveness Initiative and No Child Left Behind Act
which expands state science and math standards and makes the CLCA
programs desirable to schools.
i~Vork through External ChaIlenges
• The CLCA location in Kenai is not readily accessible to Anchorage or all of
Alaska and school funding cut-backs impacts travel budgets for schools
(which is typically at least half of the cost for each onsite mission).
• Anchorage School District policy will only allow school buses to transport
students for missions which eliminates the opportunity to have
transportation donated by tour bus companies to reduce the cost of the
mission/field trip.
• There is competition with other facilities and programs for school field
trips Bald the ry.L~n,.A raceds to henvfly prolilvte file cdiicational aspect of
their programs.
•:• The current pricing structure of products and services represents a heavy
discounting of actual costs to remain competitive with other programs. In
order to maintain the program of offering discounted services, operating
costs must continue to be subsidized by donations or grants until the
endowment is fully funded and the earnings generated are used as the
subsidy.
8
4 Business Strategies
• Raise the profile of the CLCA to improve sales of products and services to
extend product ranges and/or served markets.
•: Control operating costs by increasing in-kind contributions of products
and services such as utilities and professional consulting.
s• Stabilize and strengthen financial position with increased sales,
contributions and memberships.
• Utilize new leadership, Board members and business/community partners
to develop assertive and realistic long term business initiatives.
•: Continue exploring grant and government organizations embedding
opportunities.
5 Present Status
Background
The development of the Challenger Learning Center of Alaska was built on a
strong foundation of partnerships and volunteers. The Kenai City Council, Mayor
and city administration, the Alaska Aerospace Development Corporation (AADC)
and a group of dedicated volunteers brought the CLCA to actuality. The
construction funding in the amount of $6.5 million, provided through NASA
grants and supported by Senator Stevens, made the building a reality. An
additional grant of $2 million funded the construction of the dormitory.
Initially there was great interest and momentum in developing a donor base of
business and private partnerships and individual memberships. But tremendous
focus on developing the educational programs and getting kids through the door
consumed staff s time and energy. While the CLCA was successful in delivering
outstanding programs, in the immediacy of getting the programs operational t he
relationships with corporate and community partners were not nurtured.
In order for the CLCA to offer its programs and services with competitive pricing,
a process of supplementing the revenues with grants and contributions was
implemented which allowed for the prices to be discounted. A $600,000
operational grant which has subsidized the CLCA is due to expire soon, and the
CLCA is focusing energy and efforts on its base of corporate and private donors to
offset the completion of this grant subsidy.
Recent Progress
The CLCA has recenth~ brought on board a volunteer Executive Director who
brings strong community and corporate relationships along with a background of
successful and effective business management. The new leadership's focus on
managing the CLCA as a business and developing its self-sustainability is clear.
Support from the new Kenai Peninsula Borough Mayor and communit~, and
business leaders reinforces that the community of Kenai maintains its initial
enthusiasm for the success of the CLCA.
The CLCA also re-established contact with previous corporate donors and
contacted potential donors by sending out over 50o fundraising letters. This is
being followed up by personal phone calls. A $io,ooo request from the Carol
Treadwell Foundation has been granted in the form of an annual recognition to
the winners of the Anchorage School District Science Fair by bringing them to the
CLCA for a mission. ConocoPhillips has generously provided a challenge
donation in the amount of $25,000; they will match the first $25,000 that the
CLCA raises. Alaska Aerospace Development Corporation (AADC) is supporting a
strong base of volunteers providing CLCA with administrative and management
assistance. The community of Kenai is pledging support through in-kind services.
The CLCA is gaining state-wide recognition through the Arctic Winter Games and
Channel 2news-spots.

ITEM 4: CONSIDERATION OF PLATS
4-a. PZ06-03 -Preliminary Plat -Baron Park 2005 Replat. Plat submitted by Integrity
Surveys, 8195 Kenai Spur Highway, Kenai, Alaska.
City Planner Kebschull explained the plat removes lot lines to create one large parcel from three
parcels resulting in Tract 1 containing approximately 38.224 acres. The Plat will also vacate the
Cricket Drive right-of--way and replaces it with a 60-foot utility easement. Kebschull noted a 10-
foot utility easement is vacated along the previous lot line between Lot 1 and Tract C. The
resulting lot size meets the requirements for the Iight industrial zone and public water and sewer
service is available. It was also noted that the City of Kenai owns the parcel
Chairman Amen asked why the 10-foot utility easement was there. Commission Bryson
explained the 10-foot easement was required by Homer Electric. Bryson added creating a single
lazge tract was logical and meets the requirements. Kebschull noted the replat shows a vacafion
but the vacation process will require separate business at the Borough level and if approved, it
will" come back to the City Council. Kebschull added, a vacation requires a plat and this allows
the vacation process to begin.
Commissioner Eldridge expressed concern with vacating the right-of--way on Cricket Drive
noting that the State may get hard-nosed about requiring access. Eldridge was concerned that the
owner may not realize the potential problem. Eldridge added he understood this was just a replat
but when the vacation came through he would need to hear from the owners or lessee that the
right-of--way is not needed. Kebschull gave assurance.that the City has taken thatissue into
consideration:

RE: Lot 5, Btock 5, General Aviation Apron, Assignment/Amendment of Lease -
Timothy and Linda Mitchell to Franklin G. Wortham
Attached is a request from Timothy and Linda Mitchell requesting to assign their lease to Franklin
G. Wortham. Mr. Wortham's intention is to merge with Alaska Flying Network in a partnership to
operate a flying instruction business. In October 2005, Council approved an assignment of this
lease to Budget Rent a Car of Anchorage but the transfer was not finalized. The property is located
on Willow Street and is shown on the attached map.
The lease states the lessee shall not "assign his lease or any part, not let, nor sublet, either by grant
or implication, the whole part of the premises or any part without written consent of the City." The
proposed Assignment of Lease is attached.
The purpose for which this lease was issued in 1967 was "In accordance with the Use Plan of Small
Aircraft Apron." There is no known record of this plan. Considering Mr. Wortham's plans for the
property, if the assignment is approved the use should be changed to "Flying Instruction Business".
There are 16 yeazs remaining in the term of the lease.
As of April 2151, there will be delinquencies outstanding with the City of Kenai in the amount of
$1,290.99 for the lease and $261.52 for water and sewer payments. Property taxes and penalties due
to the Kenai Peninsula Borough as of April 2151 are $1,704.89. In the past, Council has approved
assignments of leases that are delinquent contingent upon the accounts becoming current in
payments to the Borough and City prior to or at the time of closing.
The City Attorney has reviewed the documents and has no objection as to the forms. If Council
approves the assignment, the Consent to Assignment and an Amendment to Lease changing the use
can be executed.

Hazardous Fuel Reduction
City of Kenai South Forest-South Spruce Project
Foresv~t y~O~7fgTficpTer's Report
EA111B1T LL A 99
(1). IntCOrlBletlOn.
The City of Kenai South Forest-South Spruce Hazazdous Fuels Reduction (HFR) Project,
a BIA forestry action administrated through certain Chugachmiut, Inc. BIA Forestry
Program authority, is designated under a NEPA categorical exclusion. Detailed in U.S.
Department of the Interior Manual 516 DM, Chapter 2, Appendix 1, which describes
categorical exclusions, i. e., categories of actions, which da not individually or
cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment and therefore normally
do not require further analysis in either an environmental assessment or an
environmental impact statement, hazardous fuels reduction activities are defined as:.
(13J. Hazardous fuels reduction using mechanical methods for crushing, piling, thinning,
pruning, cutting, mulching, and mowing, not to exceed 1, 000 acres.
The City of Kenai South Forest-South Spruce HFR project is located within the
Municipality of Kenai, Alaska. The attached map details City of Kenai ownership,
located within this project which is located in a portion of the Wll2 NWll4 Section 6,
Township 5 South, Range 11 West, Seward Meridian. The HFR project objective is to
reduce the forest fuels load in this area of high wildfire risk as identified in the
Community of Kenai Wildfire Protection Plan. The nature of the risk is based upon a
complex combination of ecological, historic and societal factors which include:
a) A forest matrix inclusive of Lutz spruce which have died as a result of the greater
Kenai Peninsula spruce bark beetle infestation.
b} Steep topographical-draw nature of the site's interior. Combined with the prevailing
summer seasonal winds, this draw could act much like a "chimney" in the event of a local
wildfire start-up.
c) High recreational public use immediately adjacent to and "up-wind" of the project
area including camping and campfires during the seimmer season.
d) The project area has generally experienced limited levels of forest vegetation
management in the past and is currently characterized by moderate to heavy fuels
loading.
e) The project vicinity has a rich Alaska Native heritage cultural component as
evidenced by documented archaeological features as burial grounds, house pits and
middens.
f) Immediate proximity to the City of Kenai, its' roadway infrastructure, and other
public facilities to include: housing subdivisions, National Guard Armory, Episcopal
Church, community ball-fields, and the Kenai Peninsula Community Care Center.
The timing of HFR work as it relates to this project is Apri12006 through April 2007
(2). I3escription of the Area.
Historically the Kenaitze, Dena'ina people, a branch of Athabascan Native Americans,
traveled throughout the Kenai Peninsula. In the summer they fished the shores of the
rivers and Inlet and maintained a strong presence in the lower Kenai River vicinity.
Evidence exists of historical Kenaitze use within and adjacent to the project area.
Today the City of Kenai owns approximately 71 acres in the immediate project vicinity.
Of these 71 acres, approximately 24 acres comprise the extents of the hand felling, slash
piling and slash pile burning prescribed for this project. Historical forest management of
the area falls into 3 categorical areas: City Park (located on the southwesterly side of the
ownership), City recreational fields (located in the northeasterly portion of the tract) and
the core, steep-sided draw area, (the focus of this project). Both the Park area and a
fringe immediately surrounding the ball fields have experienced multiple HFR entries in
the past. The primary focus of previous HFR work was to remove/dispose of dead and
dying spruce trees brush and the limbing of the healthy residual stand. The area
surrounding the project area is urban in nature.
The project area is characterized by asteep-sided draw oriented north-south through
which a small anadromous stream flows. Beaver activity has impounded this stream,
within the project area, to form a small pond. The adjacent uplands are relatively flat in
nature.
(3). Silvicultural Method.
The project vicinity is divided into 4 categories:
a) City Park, (not inclusive within this project)
b) City baseball fields, (also not inclusive in this project)
c) Buffer zone around the periphery of the project area
d) Interior core area
Periphery buffer zone.
A full hazardous fuels reduction treatment will be performed on the 14 acres comprising
this periphery zone (see attached map exhibit). The objective of the treatment is to
provide a defensible low fire risk zone sunounding the core draw area.
Vegetative Treatment:
Increased fire hazard has been identified as the largest human concern caused by a dying
forest. Thus, dead trees, beetle infested spruce and other vegetative "brush" will be
removed under this project to produce a healthier, more fire resistant stand. Only brush
taller than 2-3 feet will be removed. All "cut" vegetative material will be cut as close to
the ground as feasible. Traditional HFR prescriptions, aimed toward the creation of
survivable space, prescribe to have at least 10' of space created between the crowns of
adolescent and mature trees to inhibit fire from spreading through the crowns. The
treatment prescription for this project will deviate from the traditional approach by
maintaining crown closure, to the extents possible, rather than creating a spatial crown
separation. This deviation is prescribed in order to inhibit the natural succession of forest
floor grasses. By maintaining crown closure, the grasses which typically invade the site
once the forest canopy is "opened" will be minimized. Dry ground level grasses in
combination with the dead trees and increased wind, creates the potential for fire to move
quickly and to bum at high temperatures (Wittwer et al. 1998). Grass, especially
bluejoint (Calamagrostis canadensis) and Call fireweed (Epilobium angustifolium) tend to
invade sites once the spruce canopy has opened up. Additionally, "Bluejoint reedgrass is
a serious competitor of regeneration of conifer seedlings on disturbed moist sites.
Bluejoint reedgrass often produces a thick, "mulch" of litter which insulates the soil
surface, causing the soil temperature to decrease. Cold soils could partially explain the
poor growth of conifer seedlings that often occurs after planting in bluejoint-reedgrass-
dominated sites. " (i )
Mature trees will be pruned to have a space of approximately 10' from the ground to the
lowest limb. This distance is measured from the lowest hanging point of the limb, not
where the limb meets the tree trunk. Pruning accomplishes a risk reduction associated
with how fire uses low hanging limbs, or other debris, as a conduit, "laddering", to gain
entry into the tree crowns, or to the roofs of adjacent structures. Young trees are pruned
to approx. 1/3 their height. Prsned limbs will be severed a short distance out from the
bole of the tree. Pruning saw damage to the bark of the bole of the tree shall be
minimized to the maximum extents possible.
Snags and downed logs, primarily originating in the riparian zone located along the
anadromous waterway/beaverpnnd, will be left for wildlife habitat.
Interior core area.
The core area (see attached map exhibit) comprising 10 acres, will be subject to a
modified vegetative treatment.
Vegetative Treatment:
Under this treatment, only dead and infested Lutz spruce will be removed. Incidental
vegetation will be removed in this treatment only to the extents that removal is required
to facilitate targeted spruce removal in a safe and esthetic manner.
Snags and downed logs, primarily originating in the riparian zone located along the
anadromous waterway/beaverpnnd, will be left for wildlife habitat.
(4}. Treatment of stumps and slash.
Stumps shall be cut as close to ground level as possible. Slash is the by-product of the
HFR activity. Any slash 3" in diameter or greater, will generally be left on-site for natural
decay. (e.g. logs) The exception to this treatment will be a zone located on the northerly
bounds of the project area. In this zone, togs wilt be removed from the site to enhance
the visual aesthetics of the site in relation to its proximity to the Spur Highway. Slash
less than 3" diameter (e.g. limbs removed from the logs) will be treated as noted below:
- Slash that can be safely piled and disposed of by burning is the preferred and most
economical method of clean-up. Slash will be placed in piles for burning by the
Chugachmiut Yukon Wildfire Crew concurrent with HFR clearing. The piles will
be carefully located in open areas where the heat from their combustion will not
significantly damage nearby residual trees. The Yukon Crew will perform the
pile bums during time frames that will be coordinated with the City of Kenai, and
Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation, Smoke Management
Program. Generally, pile burning will be conducted in the winter months with
sufficient snow ground cover to prohibit fire spread. Burning will be performed
during air flow periods which will carry smoke southerly, out into Cook Inlet and
away from the City urban area.
- Slash piles will be carefully constructed (loaf shaped) to promote compaction. On
inclines, stems will be placed to lie up and down hill to prevent rolling during the
burn process. Fine fuels will be placed at the pile bottom with heavier fuels on
top, to enhance fuels compaction.
- Piles will be located on clear ground, (no stumps} away from buildings, trees and
shrubs. Proximity to roadways and structures will also be considered. (Smoke
may obstruct roads and adversely affect public heaiih}. Overhead clearance is also
important. Piles will not be constructed under overhead electrical infrastructure.
Piles constructed on an incline, in a clearing surrounded by trees, will be located
toward the bottom of the slope.
- In certain limited areas where burn piles are not a feasible slash disposal option, a
"chop and scatter" as a slash treatment maybe employed. Under this treatment
slash less than 3" in diameter shall be broken down, scattered and left in place on
the forest floor. Accumulated slash shall not to exceed 12" in depth. The "chop
and scatter" technique has been proven as a viable method of HFR slash treatment
and is extensively utilized by the Kenai Peninsula Borough Spmce Bark Beetle
Hazardous Fuels Reduction Program.
- Lastly, due to certain sensitive site specific conditions, slash maybe disposed of
through the physical removal and hauling to the KBP Slash Disposal Site located
just north on the Spur Highway from the City of Kenai. Due to the physical and
economic constraints of the project, this removal slash disposal treatment option
is only viable under limited circumstances.
(5). Other Land and Use Values.
The riparian area adjacent to the anadromous waterway, bisecting the project area
through its center, will be afforded full protection. Dead spruce snags will not be
removed in this area as their numbers are minimal and their contributing value to wildlife
habitat is high. Consultation regarding the associated values of this waterway has been
gained through the Wildlife Habitat Staff of the Alaska Department of Fisk and Game,
Kenai River Center.
The project vicinity has significant historical ties to Alaska Native occupation and use.
Consultation has been performed with 4he State of Alaska Office of History and
Archaeology regarding the nature of the project and the interrelation with the historical
values. The State Office has issued a "no comment required" ruling as it relates to the
prescribed HFR work based primarily on the fact that no equipment usage with
associated ground disturbance will be required to perform this HFR work. Should,
through the course of project work in this vicinity, a potential historical site is discovered,
work in the immediate vicinity of the site will be stopped and the State of Alaska Office
of History and Archaeology, shall be notified. Notification will provide the Office an
opportunity to note the site nature and lacation on the Alaska Heritage Resources Survey
database for future reference. Pending review, the Office may potentially request a brief
survey of the site. The survey shall be performed by a qualified archaeologist.
(6). HFR Site Access.
Site access for the project area is well established. Foot travel will access the project area
from S. Forest Drive and S. Spruce Street.
(71 ronsen*. of Owners.
~•
The Permit Agreement, to which this document is an Exhibit, is the instrument of
authorization by which the City of Kenai consents to the herein described hazardous fuels
reduction project work. Like-kind project work may be occurring on adjacent
ownerships; In which case, independent like-kind Permit Agreements will be
implemented to govern such other activities.
(8). Personnel and Public Safety.
Personnel and public safety are of paramount concern for project work. The Chugachmiut
Yukon Fire Crew will be performing the project work. The Yukon Crew is a specially
trained fire suppression and hazardous fuel reduction (HFR) crew based in McGrath,
Alaska. Supervised by qualified Hotshot Superintendents, the 16-20 person Type 2
Wildland Fire Crew is specifically trained to safely perform all facets of wildland fire
suppression and HFR project work. Detailed below is a listing of Yukon Crew
professional wildland ftrefighter credentials:
- 3- Interagency hotshot superintendents
- 2- Incident Commander Type 4's
- Incident Commander Type 5
- 4- Helicopter Crewmembers
- 10- Helicopter Crewmember Trainees
- 3- Heli-spot Managers
- 4-Class B Fallers
- 10 Class A Fallers
- 1 Division Supervisor Trainee
- 2- Strike Team/Task Force Leaders
Additionally, Chugachmiut has retained the expert tree removal services of Twin Rocks
Enterprises, a local Kenai Peninsula contractor, to deal with any tree removal situations
that the Yukon Crew deems too hazardous per their expertise.
Due to the physical location of the project and the spring/fall/winter seasonal scheduling
of project work, public safety and interaction issues are anticipated to be minimal. All
slash pile burning will be closely coordinated with the City of Kenai Fire Department and
its' Chief, Mike Tilly. Pile burning will be monitored by the Yukon Crew to the
maximum extents. All piles ignited during a day's time will be completely extinguished
prior to daily crew demobilization from the project area.

RE: Community Purpose Exemption
AS 29.45.050(b)(1)(A) gives a municipality the option Co adopC a "community purpose" property
tax exemption. That exemption would apply to "property of an organization not organized for
business or profit-making purposes used exclusively for community purposes if the income
derived from rental of that property does not exceed the actual cost to the owner of the use of the
property by the renter."
The Kenai Peninsula Borough has adopted that exemption. KPB 5.12.100. Soldotna has also
adopted it. The cities of Kenai and Homer have not. However, according to Borough Assessor
Shane Horan, the Borough has applied that exemption to all cities within the Borough whether or
not they have adopted it.
Here is a list of the following entities that received the exemption:
Central Peninsula Mental Health
Frontier Community Services
Kenai Peninsula Borough Economic/
Kenai Peninsula Opportunities, Inc.
Peninsula Oilers Baseball Club, Inc.
Pickle Hill Broadcasting
Salvation Army
Totals
Assessed Taxable
$ 472,952.00 0
265,617.00 0
1,024,100.00
1,015,200.00
43,670.00
101,642.00
$2,923,181.00
The City's mill rate is 4.5. That equates to about $13,154.31 of tax on the property. According
to Mr. Horan, the Borough does not plan at this time to go after the entities for the back property
tax. Mr. Horan is preparing to add the property to the city rolls if necessary for the 2006
assessment year.
Mayor Porter and the Kenai City Council
March 29, 2006
Page 2 of 2
The issue is whether the Kenai City Council wishes to adopt the "community purpose"
exemption for its property taxes. The recommendation of the City Manager is that the exemption
be adopted. If Council wishes, I can have an ordinance in the next packet for introduction.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

AIRPORT COMMISSION MEETING
MARCH 16, 2006
PAGES
Hello. My name is Julie Davis. I have been the Station Manager for Era Aviation in Homee for thirteen
years. This past week I managed and coordinated the airline inbound and outbound passenger and
baggage movements for AWG2006 along with Cindi Parsons who is currently on assignment in Bethel.
Weekend-one we serviced 17-inbound flights into the Ops Center and 2-inbound flights into the Era
Terminal for a total of 1,676-inbound AWG passengers.
Weekend-two we serviced the 7-venues, plus the Ops Center, for passenger and baggage check-in, 16-
outbound flights at the Ops Center and 3-outbound flights at the Era Terminal for a total of 1,608-
outbound AWG passengers.
We serviced 13-737's and 1-big red 757 of which the only hitch in the whole program was an air stair on
arrival for Air Greenland. However, an industrious Era-Kenai ramp agent flew to Anchorage, talked with
a personal contact at United Airlines and saved the day by securing an air stair for Air Greenland's
departure. We also serviced 1-ATR42, and 3-D8's.
Era employees clocked over 762 hours of overtime. 11-awesome employees from ADQ, ANC and HOM
assisted EFTA's incredibly hard-working crew. Inbound 737's were off-loaded in less than 10-minutes.
We had a short learning curve on the first few outbound flights but quickly recovered and ended
launching our final flight 20-minutes early. The final flight was piloted by the CEO of Air North who
was very impressed by our operation.
Afrer weekend-one we received rave accolades from the major carriers:
Air North, "Great Job! very impressed by the organization and speed to which our aircraft were
handled. Impressed to see our aircrafts back in Whitehorse early. "
Air Greenland, "Well Done! No problems what so ever regarding the handling. Warm hospitality
from all the personnel in the airport. "
Canadian North, "Fantastic service. You handled the turns like an Indy pit crew (very speedy,), It
was like arriving at a new country in the Amazing Race. "
Era Aviation was very pleased to have played a role in the success of the Arctic Winter Games. In
addition to the services performed during the games, we also had to run our own airline! Era was a major
sponsor with S 100,000 in direct and in-kind donations in the months leading up to the Games. I'd
personally like to acknowledge the efforts of all Era employees who had to keep the airline running
smoothly, and also thank the numerous other volunteers and all the Kenai Airport staff- especially
Rebecca Cronkite for all her efforts.
Era Aviation has provided scheduled airline service to Kenai for twenty-two and a half years. Era looks
forward to working with Kenai Peninsula communities on similar events for many years into the future -
Weall benefit by working closely together.
Thank you for the opportunity to address the Kenai Airport Commission, and I would be happy to answer
any questions you might have regarding the AWGs.
But, before I answer questions I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the AWG staff that
stood in the Ops Center last Sunday at 415pm and gave a rousing hand of applause to Team Era for a job
well done!

Dear Senator Stevens:
The purpose of this correspondence is to transmit additional information regarding the
City of Kenai's Federal Grant requests.
Included are three projects for which information has been previously submitted. Those
prpj ectg include:
1. Kenai Bank Stabilization. The attached constitutes a fimding request to
enable design completion and required environmental studies by the U.S.
Army, Corp of Engineers. It is anticipated that funding for this project is an
earmark, citing the Alaska Coastal Erosion Program. Included in the attached
information is a letter of support from the Kenaitze Indian Tribe.
2. Kenai Maintenance Shop Remedaation. The attached constitutes a funding
request for the first phase of environmental clean-up. The total cost of the
project is estimated at $ 1,000,000.
3. Water Treatment System at Well Houses 1,2,3 and 4. This constitutes a
funding request to drill and explore for new municipal production wells and/or
install water treatment systems so water delivered by the City's utility meets
the 2006 EPA water quality standazds. The new stringent standards case the
City to be in non-compliance.
Page 2
The Honorable Ted Stevens
March 27, 2006
Also please find attached several projects for which the City is presently seeking
assistance:
1. Kenai Municipal Harbor Improvements. The City is presently undertaking
the construction of two new boat launch ramps at the harbor. This
improvement will allow for a higher volume of boats to be launched and
recovered during the summer season, primarily during the subsistence dip-net
fishery. Additional improvements are required, these include a second access
road so that traffic can be made one-way, into and out of the harbor, and
paved staging and parking areas to accommodate as many as 300
launches/recoveries per day.
2. Reconstruction of Wildwood I3rive. Wildwood Drive is a roadway
constructed by the U.S. Military. The road primarily serves the Wildwood
Correctional Facility and requires significant maintenance activity due to its
deteriorating condition.
We realize hat the two projects listed above were not submitted prior to the Mazch 1,
2006 deadline. It is our intent to submit these grant requests during the next Federal
funding cycle, but should there be any opportunity to include them this year it would be
greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time and attention. Should there be any questions regarding the
attached information, or if you or your staffs have any other questions please contact me
at your convenience. My phone number is (907)283-8222; and cellular n»mber is

4. Provide a brief description of the activity or project for which funding s regiiegted,
The City of Kenai is seeking funds to stop the rapidly eroding bluff in Old Town
Kenai. The preliminary basic design method of erosion control is an armor rock
revetment and riprap method, with a coastal trail on top for restoration purposes.
Through the years, the City of Kenai has commissioned many studies and reports
related to controlling riverbank erosion in the area of the lower Kenaf River. The
areas of study have included Kenai River sedimentation, dredging, hydrology, and
rates of erosion.
In 1997 Corps of Engineers Reconnaissance Report stated, "The area of public
property at most risk from bluff erosion Is the shore at the site of the Kenai Senior
Center. The erosion rate is not known without further study, but can b® assumed
to vary from 10 to 20 feet per year, based on rates in similar circumstances
elsewhere." The rate of erosion is currently estimated at between 3 to 10 feet per
year along aone-mile length beginning at a point near the Kenai Beach Road.
In 1998, the City hired Peratrovich, Nottingham, & Drage, inc. (PN&D) to perform a
Reconnaissance Level Study foe an erosion control project. In 1999, PN&D
produced a project design concept report for a Kenai erosion control and coaatai
Rep. Young FY 2007 1 Kenai Eank Stabilization
trail project. This report included a schematic design, right-of-way property
impacts, preliminary environmental considerations, and a rough project post
estimate. PN&D recommended erosion control by using an armor rock revetment
and riprap method, with a coastal trait on top for restoration purpose. PN&D
completed its third contract with the City, which consisted of working on the
environmental and permitting requirements of this project. Approximately
$120,000 of City funds has been spent on PN&D's work.
In FY 2002, the US Corps of Engineers was allocated $500,000 to pertorm a
technical evaluation/reconnaissance study of Kenai riverbank stabilization needs
to move the project closer to being able to obtain the necessary permitting and
design work. This report stated, "Stabilization is technically possible and would
likely not have a significant effect on the environment."
The FY 05 omnibus appropriation bill under Energy and Water Appropriations
gave the US Corps of Engineers an additional $500,000 to pertorm general
investigations for permitting and collecting the additional design data that is
required to move the project forward to the construction phase.
The City anticipates continued cooperation with the Corps in order to work
through any environmental permitting issues that may arise and complete the
design and construction of this project.

Project Titie: City of Kenai Maintenance Shop Site Retnediation
Project Description:
The city maintenance shop area has. been identified as a contaminated site. The
project will remove and treat contaminated soils, install sewers to transport floor
drainage and domestic waste to the city sewer system, and remove other sub-surface
materials for proper disposal. Various site investigations have been prepared and a
work plan for cleanup is being prepared. Other funding has also been applied for.
Project Justification:
We have spent several years preparing studies, installing monitoring wells, collecting
samples and miscellaneous work. ADEC has requested that actual remediation work
begin. Some of the cleanup standards have become less stringent, making it a good
time to begin. Cleanup of this site will also lessen future city financial unknown
liabilities.
Estimated Project Costs:
Construction or purchase cost: $1,000,000
,4nnual maintenance and operation cost: $10,000
Other major cost items: Unknown
Estimated Effects on Municipal Budget:
The initial cleanup will be costly and could affect future budgets depending upon funding
sources. The cleanup, however, will remove a large potential financial liability as noted
in recent audits. An on-going cost for long-term monitoring and testing will be required.
Recommended Funding Sources:
Alaska Legislative Grant (current available funds), ADEC Matching Grant (applied for),
ADEC loan, City General Fund, Special Revenue Funds.

RROJECT NOMINATION WORKSHEET
Project title: Water Treatment System at WeII Houses No. 1, 2, 3, 4
Project Description:
This project will accomplish drilling of new municipal praduction we(Is and/or design and
construction of treatment upgrades at Wellhouses 1, 2, 3, and 4 to reduce arsenic,
manganese, iron, and color to below the MCLs. Wells 1, 2, and 3 were constructed in
1970, 1978, and 1997 before an arsenic MCL reduction was foreseen. The
components of the system upgrades may include tanks for multimedia filtering, storage,
and surge/backwash, pumps, chemical injection pumps, electrical control panels, air
blower units, flow meters apparatus, and SCADA controls. Building add-ons would be
required. The primary concern at WH 2 is color (from orgainics) which may require a
sewer line or settling lagoon for backwash water.
Project Justification:
If new wells meeting water quality standards and/or the upgrades are not completed,
the city's municipal water supply will exceed the new Maximum Contaminant Level,
MCL, for arsenic in public drinking water effective in 2006. The arsenic levels found to
date exceed the new MCL of 0.01 mg/I: Well 1 @ 0.02 mg/I, Well 3 @ 0.026 mg/I, and
Well 4 (not in service) @ 0.038 mg/I. Secondary standards which will also continue to
b° exceed the fY1CL's are Manganese (0.076 mg/I, mcl 0.05), Iron (.41 mgll, mcl 0.30
mg/1), and color (71 Dolor units, mcl 15).
Estimated Project Costs:
Construction or purchase cosf: $ 2,455,000
Annual maintenance and operation cost: $ 24,000
Other major cost items:
Estimated Effects on Municipal Budget:
It would increase the Water and Sewer Operating Budget but not the General Fund of
the Municipal Budget. It may cause an increase in the water bills to utility customers.

Water Treatment System at Well Houses 1, 2, 3, & 4
In January 2006, the Federal Government lowered the maximum contaminant
levels (MCL) of arsenic from 50 parts per billion (ppb) to 10 ppb. The City of
Kenai has three wells that exceed the MCL for arsenic. A fourth well exceeds the
MCL for color.
Because of federal water quality requirements, the City needs to install water
treatment systems at our well houses. The City has applied for 50% State of
Alaska DEC matching grants for Arsenic Water Treatment Upgrades.

Juneau, AK 99801-1182
Dear Senator Wagoner:
VIA FACSIMILE (907) 465-4779
The purpose of this correspondence is to submit for your consideration, information
supporting certain priority capital grants requests by the City of Kenai. This information
supplements what has already been transmitted to your office by the City of Kenai.
I would also like to thank you for taking tirne to ,r,eet with me wher. I wzs in Juneau
earlier this session. I have enjoyed the short time I have been the pity manager here and
look forward to working with you in the future.
The following aze priority projects for which we respectfully request your support:
1. Kenai Bank Stabilization
Amount Requested $ 500,000
This project will provide for the stabilization of approximately one mile of the
bluff along Cook Inlet in downtown Kenai. Areas presently at risk include the
senior center, senior housing, Old Town Kenai (historical district), areas of
cultural significance (Kenaitze Indian Tribe, IRA) and other private
developments. The total project costs are estimated to be $ 14 million. Presently
the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers, under a $ 500,000 grant is performing
preliminary engineering and environmental activities. In order to complete design
and environmental documents we aze requesting a State grant in the amount of
$ 500,000. State participation and complete design documents will enhance our
position to receive full federal funding for construction. Additional information is
attached.
The Honorable Thomas G;ragoner
Mazch 27, 2006

2. Kenai Maintenance Shop Remediation Amount Requested $ 250,000
An area of the Kenai Maintenance Shop yard contains buried environmental
contaminants. To date, the City has performed preliminary engineering to
determine limits of contamination and generally type(s) of contaminants present.
The State Department of Environmental Conservation has been working with the
City, but is anxious to see physical work begin, as a surface waterway has
exhibited contamination. The total costs are estimated to be approximately $ 1
million. Funding in the amount of $ 250,000 will allow first phase remediation
and also provide information to determine if other parties, primarily the FAA
(formerly the CAA) and/or the U.S. Air Force may share responsibility, or be
fully responsible for site remediation activities. Additional information is
attached.
3. New Municipal Productian Wells Amount Requested $ 800,000
and/or Treatment Systems
Three of four of the present municipal production wells contain arsenic levels that
prior to the adoption of the EPA 2006 water quality standards met or exceeded all
water quality requirements for municipal water systems. EPA's lowering of
allowable arsenic levels makes Kenai's main production well non-compliant. Our
fourth well, while in compliance with the EPA standards for arsenic produces
water showing significant discoloration. It is our intent to undertake a research
and test well drilling program to attempt to fmd production wells that will meet
the new EPA standards. pei.,,.,,.,a ,.v .,,...,,,,. ~ .
LLV V41 VL ar$eliie ulV Usit eatmeltt 1J GAt/G11Jlve,
estimated to cost from $ 200,000 to $ 400,000 per yeaz in increased operational
costs. Treatment is not an attractive alternative, and there is no guarantee EPA
will not further restrict arsenic levels in the future. Additional information is
attached.
4. Kenai Municipal Harbor Improvements Amount Requested $ 350,000
The City is presently undertaking the construction of two new boat launch ramps
at the harbor. This improvement will allow for a higher volume of boats to be
launched and recovered during the summer season, primarily during the
subsistence dip-net fishery. Additional improvements are required. These
include a second access road so that traffic can be made one-way, into and out of
the harbor, and paved staging and parking areas to accommodate as many as 300
launches/recoveries per day. The total estimated cost of the project is estimated at
$ 716,000. A State grant in the requested amount would provide matching money
for other federal sources of funding. Additional information is attached.
The Honorable Thomas Wagoner
March 27, 2006
Page 3 of 4
5. Kenai City Streets Upgrades Amount Requested $1,000,000
The City has undertaken an aggressive program of local street and road
improvements. In residential neighborhoods these generally take the form of
special improvement districts in which the property owners are assessed for a
portion of the improvement costs, and the City is responsible for a portion of the
improvement costs. The scope of the projects vary, but usually include import of
fill materials, curb & gutter, and asphalt surfacing. As required the scope of
improvements may also include lighting and storm drain system improvements.
Additional information is attached.
Additionally, the City of Kenai has identified the following smaller capital projects as
funding priorities:
1. Public Safety Garage
Requested Amount $ 100,000
This project would enclose an existing carport located adjacent to the Kenai
Public safety Building. The scope would include, automatic door openers,
lighting, ventilation, and heating. This will allow for expeditious response to calls
in the winter, without the need to keep police cazs idling. Additional information
is attached.
2. Kenai Police Department Locker Requested Amount $ 40,000
Rooms Upgrades
T"ne current lockers are similar to lockers in the public school system and
inadequate for the storage and security needs of public safety officers. This
project also includes the installation of new benches and seats. Additional
information is attached.
3. Kenai Ba11 Fields Restrooms
Requested amount $ 35,000
There is extremely high public use of youth basebalUsoftball fields at a public
recreational facility where there is not presently a restroom facility. This project
would construct a concrete restroom facility resistant to vandalism to serve the
complex. Additional information is attached.
4. Commercial, Large Area Mower
Requested Amount $ 40,000
The City of Kenai maintains a large number of athletic faelds and large areas of
public spaces throughout the municipality, including the ADOT/PF ROW along
the Kenai Spur Road. The City is constructing several new soccer fields this year
and a commercial wide area (up to 120") mower would significantly reduce
overall labor efforts to maintain grass azeas.
The Honorable Thomas Wagoner
March 27, 2006
Page 4 of 4
5. Kenai Recreation Center Exit & Storage Requested Amount $ 60,000
Improvements
At present the exit from the gymnasium area is located where it is seldom used
and the exit exhibits chronic Leaking during melting and rainfall conditions. A
new exit located in a more appropriate location, with the existing exit being
renovated into storage space will provide a safer, more functional facility.
Additional information is attached.
Senator Wagoner, again thank you for your time in going through this request, and for
any efforts on our behalf. If you, or your staff has any questions, please contact me at
your earliest convenience.

KENAI MAINTENANCE SHOP REMEDIATION
CITY OF KENAI
PROJECT N®MINATt01V W®RKSHEET
Project Title: City of Kenai Maintenance Shop Site ~erriediation
Project Description:
The city maintenance shop area has been identified as a contaminated site. The
project will remove and treat contaminated soils, install sewers to transport floor
drainage and domestic waste to the city sewer system, and remove other sub-surface
materials for proper disposal. Various site investigations have been prepared and a
work plan for cleanup is being prepared. Other funding has also been applied for.
Project Justification:
We have spent several years preparing studies, installing monitoring wells, collecting
samples and miscellaneous work. ADEC has requested that actual remediation work
begin. Some of the cleanup standards have become less stringent, making it a good
time to begin. Cleanup of this site will also lessen future city financial unknown
liabilities.

Annual maintenance and operation cost: $10,000
Other major cost items: Unknown
Estimated Effects on Municipal Budget:
The initial cleanup will be costly and could affect future budgets depending upon funding
sources. The cleanup, however, will remove a large potential financial liability as noted
in recent audits. An on-going cost for long-term monitoring and testing will be required.

PROJECT NOMINl~TION WORKSHEET
Project Title: Water Treatment System at Well H®uses N®. '!, 2, 3, ~ 4
Project Description:
This project will accomplish drilling of new municipal production wells and/or design and
construction of treatment upgrades at Wellhouses 1, 2, 3, and 4 to reduce arsenic,
manganese, iron, and color to below the MCLs. Wells 1, 2, and 3 were constructed in
1970, 1978, and 1997 before an arsenic MCL reduction was foreseen. The
components of the system upgrades may include tanks for multimedia filtering, storage,
and surge/backwash, pumps, chemical injection pumps, electrical control panels, air
blower units, flow meters apparatus, and SCADA controls. Building add-ons would be
required. The primary concern at WH 2 is color (from orgainics) which may require a
sewer line or settling lagoon for backwash water.
Project Justification:
If new wells meeting water quality standards and/or the upgrades are not completed,
the city's municipal water supply will exceed the new Maximum Contaminant Level,
MCL, for arsenic in public drinking water effective in 2006. The arsenic levels found to
date exceed the new MCL of 0.01 mg/I: Well 1 @ 0.02 mg/I, Well 3 @ 0.026 mg/I, and
Well 4 (not in service) @ 0.038 mg/I. Secondary standards which will also continue to
be exceed the MCL's are Manganese (0,076 mg/l, mci 0.05), Iron (.41 mg/i, mci "u.30
mg/I), and color (71 color units, mcl 15).
Estimated Projecf Costs:

II. PUBLIC COMMENT
Herman Fandel, a Kenai River guide, distributed a copy of his
letter in favor of raising the horsepower from 35 to 50 on the Kenai
River. He believes that a 20 foot boat with a 35 hp plows through
the water; it does not get completely on step with a full load of 4
people on board, fuel, fish and himself. This causes a big wake
that is disturbing to the bank, other boats and people along the
shore. Herman highly recommends that we give the 50 hp a try
even if it is for a little while. He believes that larger boats should be
able to run 50 horsepower but the smaller boats are only allowed
to run 35 hp.
Dave Richards, a Kenai River guide, is in favor of raising the
horsepower from 35 to 50 on the Kenai River. In order for us to
have an adequate boat for all of our stuff, safety gear and for our
clients to be comfortable and I would really like to run a 50 hp on
the Kenai River this year.
Joe Hanes, a Kenai River guide for 25 plus years, is in favor of the
horsepower change. Apart of the problem is that we have been
battling this problem since the 80's when the Coast Guard
recommended the 50 horsepower. Bix Bonney was at the Board of
Fish and that how the 35 went through, Bix had a 35 on his boat.
We spent a quarter of a million dollars on a study and it clearly
shows that the energy of a boat wake could be cut in half on the
Kenai River. Raise the hp limit but put a size limit on the boats,
make them no more then 21 feet. It is a very simple deal and it is
obvious that we need to change the hp. Kenai River rangers in
2005 really stepped up but could do more then checking boat
motors everyday. Enforcement has more important things to do.
Of all the wrecks he has seen on the Kenai River, the most
frequent is when someone is coming out of the hale and running
over another boat. This is because the operator is unable to see.
This increase is long over due and it is not a guide issue, it is a
river issue and if we concentrate on what is the best thing to do on
the Kenai River and spend that much money on a study, we should
change the horsepower.
Paul Shadura has been keeping very close track of what has been
happening with the mixing zones. Paul brought to the attention of
the board that the State has a MOCJ betureen DNR and Fish and
Game that was last amended on January 26, 2006. Paul
commented that the second to last paragraph on page 7 is
contradictory and needs some explanation.
Mel Erickson, a Kenai River guide for 18 years supports the
increase of horsepower to 50. It is long overdue and it seems like
the best data available points to the raising of the 50. When we
went to 35 we had no data and it was a shot in the dark. It is
pretty obvious that in the last few years there has been quit a few
tickets written for guides and public for having the wrong engine.
If people are cheating like that it is for only one reason: that their
boats are under powered for the type of boat they are running.
Enforcement cannot tell if an operator is illegal or not without
pulling the cowling. Boats are not able to get on step and cannot
see over the front of the boat with a 35, causing accidents. He
would like to see the increase as soon as possible, this year would
be great.
Brian Alexander, OMC/ A-1 Enterprises, is in favor of raising the
horsepower to 50 on the Kenai River with the exception of not
limiting smaller boats to 35. This is simply because of the fact of
enforcing. Thinks it is a safety issue, all manufacturers build a 50
horsepower and no one builds a 35, which brings up the question
of legality and the EPA detuning, which he believes we are
breaking federal law to meet local law by detuning. A 50
horsepower creates a safer environment, because accidents he has
seen have been caused by the bow being in the air and the
operator not being able to see over the bow. Enforcing 35
horsepower, obviously those resources could be used better then
pulling the cowlings off, especially with all the methods of detuning
outboards.
Ricky Geese Executive Director of the Kenai River Sport Fishing
Association. The organization would like to see is the state
standardize 50 horsepower on the Kenai River, believes due to the
advances in manufacturing that it is the right way to go. From the
information that we have seen so far, the studies show that if boats
are allowed to get up on step it is helpful in reducing the energy of
the boat wakes. We have also heard concerns about safety that
have been mentioned before. The organization has assisted in
funding an additional law enforcement ranger on the Kenai River.
Asked what do we want the law enforcement to do? Are we
concerned about the engines being checked or is the main concern
in enforcement is that people are following the fishing regulations?
The more this issue drags on we are not focusing on what our law
enforcement should be doing out on the Kenai river.
Keep the regulations simple, and put it at 50 and a cap on the
weight or length.
Dwight Kramer is in favor of raising the horsepower limit to 50 on
The Kenai River but does not agree that boats below 21 feet will be
regulated to run only 35 horsepower. The length of a boat should
not restrict the horsepower of the motor.
Mike Crawford, not a guide and has a 21.5 foot boat. It performs
better with a 50 than a 35; it creates a smaller wake. There is only
a 3 to 4 mph difference between a 35 and a 50. Make the motor a
manufacture 50 and include 50 in the serial number.
Enforcement then could focus on fishing regulation and safety
matters. If a boat length of 21 is put into regulation and a person
already owns a boat larger than 21ft it should be grandfathered in
until 2010.
Greg Brush, a Kenai River Guide for 17 years. Made 2 short
points: runs a 20.Sft Predator like many others out on the river,
and the boat motor would passed inspection it was checked last
year. It is one of the faster boats on the river. Has installed a
custom prop and uses synthetic motor oil plus added an 800 dollar
transom lift on the back. Has gone through all the trouble and
expense to get more performance so that the bow will sit down and
can get on plane. This is a safety issue. The difference between 27
mph and 25 mph or what ever the numbers are is minimal. It is
about getting up on plane, getting the bow down and being able to
see so the operator doesn't have a collision during the busy times.
The second point is he contacted some friends in the community
and they were unable to make this meeting. Would like the board
to know that the guides are not the only ones that want the
increase. As for boat length, we need a cap on the limit. Most
boats are 20.5 and then they go to 23.
Jerry Strieby has been a Kenai River Guide for 13 years. A 20.5ft
boat length is the break off for Fishrites®. Runs a 50 detuned to a
35 and it takes some effort to get it on step. When thinking back
on the 13 years on the Kenai River knows of 3 guides and a few
private citizens that have boats over 21ft. length. Enforcement
problems would decrease if we go to the straight 50 horsepower.
When his motor is running perfectly, the prop is working to get on
step, it still takes a lot of effort with a 35. When the bow goes up
the operator is unable to see in front of the boat. Encourages the
board to look at this issue.
III. NEW BUSINESS
A. Guide Academy Developments-Bill Berkhahn
As we may all know the state adopted a majority of the
regulations that were recommended by the Kenai River
Working Group. One of those was the Kenai River Guide
Academy. Happy to announce that we are on track, if not
ahead of schedule on getting this academy on its way. It is
require of all Kenai River guides starting in 2007. A final
draft of the curriculum has been completed. Two classes are
being offered this spring, one starting March 20 and the
second one on April 24+x. The classes will start at 8 a.m.
Monday and run through Friday when the final exam will be
given. We have instructors from the college, Fish and Garne,
Parks and master guides covering an array of subjects. We
all feel it is a fine package. This course will provide the
necessary information that the Working Group wanted for
our new guides. Classes in 2007 will be offered February,
March and April. Information for the class is available
through the college, the guide association and parks. The
cost of the course is $206.00 and it is for 3 continuing
education credits.
B. ADF & G Log Books- Tom Vania
Updates on logbook. The Commissioner of Fish and Game
changed the reporting procedure for recording catches in
logbooks. In both the salt water and fresh water logbooks the
operators will have to log the fishing license number of each
angler on board the vessel. The catch of each client will also
be place in the book. This is to allow for follow up surveys
with each of the clients to compare what the operator is
reporting. Enforcement of the logbook will be increased.
Logbooks needs to be filled out prior to releasing fish to the
client at the dock and the reports need to be mailed in every
2 weeks. A Guide is subject to violation for being late.
Fresh water logbooks are not expected to be ready until late
April.
IV. OLB BUSINESS
A. Boat Wake Study Report-Jack Sinclair
The boat wake study report has been delayed and there is no
confirmed date of when the repart may be completed.
B. Horsepower 13iscussion and clarification-Joe Connors
The commercial user committee which is a committee of the
KRSMA board has over the past year and on many occasions
has taken a position on the 50 horsepower situation. Joe
had a proposal to bring before this board at this time that
comes from the commercial users committee that has been
unanimously endorsed as of today. Joe made the proposal as
a motion.
Ken stated that this would only be a recommendation to
forward. Joe said yes.
The Motion reads:
It is recommended that the Department of Natural
Resources amend their regulations to set the horsepower
limitation for the Kenai River to 50 horsepower. This
amended regulation is to effect in the year 2007. (This is
due to the public process required to make the change). The
following additional points should be included in this
amended regulation:
1. 50 horsepower motors will have the numerical 50
incorporated in the model and serial number. This
is the current practice of all outboard motors. Thus
no detuning is allows.
2. Boat length will be limited to 21 feet.
3. Current boats of longer length will be grandfather
in. This provision will sunset in 2010.
4. All motors must meet 2006 EPA compliance.
5. Education will be provided on boating behavior for
all users.
Ted added that all boats utilizing the Kenai River must be
registered with Kenai Parks.
Joe made the motion and Ted Wellman seconded.
The motion was opened for discussion;
Ted: He thinks it is the responsible thing to do. The big
concerns he has had all along is the fact that we have a lot of
people out on the river with detuned motors that are really
not detuned. We don't want to spawn the ideal opportunity
to have a bunch of bigger boats running out there. Ted
moved to amend because. if everyone remembers the boat
wake study there were several factors that were key in the
amount of boat wake generated; horsepower was one that
improved it, weight was another and the hull design was the
last factor. Because it had a flat bottom, the Koffler 20
footer carrying the same load as the Willy Predator puts out
much less wake Ted's proposal would be to grandfather in
anyone that has a Willy Predator on the river now, but all
new boats being registered would have a flat bottom not semi
V.
It was Joe assumption that we would proceed with the
motion on the first 5 points and then the 6th point we would
discuss and try and amend the motion and then also with
the yam.
Ted proposal would be new boats that have not been
registered before would require to be flat bottom.
Tom Vania asked if that was regardless of horsepower. Ted
said they rated the boats at the 50 and 30 and it was pretty
much the same in each added a more dramatic increase with
the 50 horsepower but the flat bottom boat had much less
wake then the semi-v. This was proven with both the 35 and
50 horsepower the flat bottom put out smaller wakes.
Ken asked if that was an amendment.
Joe suggested we should deal with the original motion and
then have a discussion on each of these points, point-by-
point.
Ted Forsi asked if the last amendment would be all boats
used on the Kenai River need to be registered with parks.
Joe said no the first 5 given came from the commercial user
committee. We have 2 more amendments to consider after
the discussion of the motion is completed.
Rick asked if width was going to be considered.
Joe said it was not under this motion, but could be in future
discussions.
Ted Forsi asked if weight was discussed in these meetings.
Joe said yes, this is all in the boat wake and in all the data.
Ted asked if the weight was discussed today and Joe said no.
Ted said that is a big factor. Joe said for simplicity sake that
weight would not be included in this motion but would be
considered in future discussions.
Tom said when more factors are added that need to be
enforced then law enforcement will need to be checking for
it. We are just looking for the biggest bang for the buck that
can do the mast for the river and be very simple. The
question for Joe is that in 2007 all motors have to be 2006
compliant. It seems to me that the public is going to be hit
pretty hard with that regulation. Tom suggested more time
be given them to be in compliance.
Brenda agreed that this will be a hardship on the public and
there is the option using the motor buy back pragram to
upgrade their motors.
Jack clarified that he thought the motion meant any 50
horsepower motor being but on the river needs to be 2006
compliant. That did not mean all motors being put on the
river. This also covered public as well as guides.
Ken asked about the education part and how it was going to
work with all users. Ken felt it was appropriate but just
didn't know how it was going to work.
Tim asked for clarification on the raising from 35 to 50
horsepower and the amount of fuel being used. With larger
engines using more fuel would raise the water standard
emission. That in order for DEC to be on board with this
recoaiiri7ertdation the 2v06 compliant component along with
the 50 horsepower.
Joe then went through each component to discuss.
Ted said in his view that if we are going to go to 50
horsepower there are a few other things that need to be
considered with it.
Deb Cooper was wondering in the interest of time can we
note that we have some consensus on the first point with
respect with other points will go through in the future. We
have some concession assuming that we go along with the
other points.
Brenda added that if we are going to talk about some
consensus, to keep with the understanding that when the
results of the second boat wake study come out that if
something comes up that was unexpected or unforeseen that
we will have to revisit it in discussions.
Keith stated that there is still a perception out there that the
public has that if the horsepower is increased to 50 so will
the wakes and the problems. He has suggested a few
meetings back that we have a fact sheet and the fact sheet
should have all the pros as to why we should go up to the 50
horsepower. He represents the City of Kenai and the City
Council and he would like to have the time to go back to the
council with either a resolution or a fact sheet before voting.
Joe commented there is a fact sheet available. Keith would
like to have the time to see a fact sheet and a resolution and
study this a little longer before voting.
Joe commented that this is just a recommendation before
this can proceed into a regulation process.
Ken said, procedurally, because no one has seen the motion
and we have 2 more meeting and this won't occur until 2007
that we postpone this motion until the next meeting, so that
everyone on the board may be able to do more research.
Jeff felt we will not get any additional science on which to
work from.
'vb
Tom felt that some of the problems were cause by 2 stroke ~(~
engines and the hydro-carbons in the water. The motor buy- S®'~E
back will help to address this issue. p
Keith felt that the procedure of how this recommendation f~(°f a ~E 1J
was being handled was not appropriate. W~ ~,~`o `Q, ~ iv
vJ
Ted was wondering if there was a reason why they could not 8~E50
wait until next meeting. This is not going to happen until ~ ~'
next year anyway.
Joe said the only down side that he saw is that we have so
many people attending the meeting. This is a major turn-
out, not only with the public but with the board; we failed to
make a quorum recently. This is a great opportunity.
Ted Forsi agreed that we need to proceed forward and get the
process started.
rx ~i,® 6
Keith «~^n*P,a °^ --~^'-- a motion to table this until next
meeting.
A role call vote was taken and it was 7 no and 2 yes.

5. Encourage parks to develop an educational
programs for all boaters
Ted would move to change 5 to say make it advisory to
encourage parks to develop an education program for all
boaters.
Joe accepted the friendly amendment.
Ted would like to make an amendment that all existing
semi v boats be grandfathered in, but all new boats be flat
bottom boats.
No second
Amendment failed.
Joe called the question on the recommendation:
The role call vote was:
7 yes and 2 abstained.
The motion carried.
It was requested that a copy of the motion be forwarded
to each of the board.
C. Guide Advisory Committee Formation-Joe Connors
The formation of this new committee was presented to the
board 2 meetings ago asking for input. A mission statement
is being developed and other information in regards to the
committee is on a sheet that was given to the board. The
vision for the committee is that we are asub-committee of
the KRSMA board and we will report back to the board, but
on occasion when we are dealing with a personal matter,
that recommendation will have to be confidential. We will
make a recommendation to parks and then parks will have
ultimate responsible party. He distributed a handout that
explains the make up of the board, terms and how the
process of obtaining members will occur. The vision is to
start this process this summer for boazd members, so that
the people that are coming back to the community will know
that positions are available. The process of an application
will be through parks, which will then rank them, then pass
flee recommendation on to commercial user committee and
then brought to the KRSMA board for a final decision.
D. Regulation Update-Jack Sinclair
Jack passed out a copy of the regulation package that has
been signed by the Lieutenant Governor and will become
effective on March 14, 2006. Some of the highlighted
changes are increase in fees, must be 18 years of age, non-
power boat operators need to provide a negative test before
receiving their permit, attend an approve guide academy
course presented by the college and a felony or misdemeanor
conviction in the last 5 years will not be permitted.
E. Buy Back Updates-Breada Trefon
Brenda had a brochure that was passed around to members
of the board outlining the buy-back program. It was a fact
sheet about the program and was about to go to print. Some
of the guideline list that there are 200 vouchers available at
500 dollars each. Some dealer or manufacture may offer
added incentives as to matching voucher. The brochure lists
the guidelines for turning in old motors and the purchase of
new motors. Please review the brochure and if anyone has
suggestions please get them to Brenda as soon as possible.
Brenda presently has a list of 30 people interested in the
program.
F. Mixing Zone Regulations-Tim Steven
It was passed and signed and it is in effect as of March 9,
2006. There are no new mixing zones for the Kenai River.
Lakes have been included in this revision.
Joe stated he disapproved of this packet that was signed.
V. PUBLIC COMMENT
Mel Erickson asked if there was consideration for guides that
may have an emergency and hire someone in mid-season
and they are unable to take the-college-e-eurse,_~Ioe said that
it has not been addressed. Jack stated that there is the
possibility that this may be offered in other areas of the state
or even possible by video.
Dwight Kramer stated that information on the proposed
regulation changes should be available for the board
rnernbers and the public to view before the meeting. This
would give time for all interested parties a chance to
respond.
Paul Shadura noted that the mixing zone package that has
been approved is reviewed on a tri-yearly basis. If anyone
would like to see changes to the document they should be
submitted through the MOU process.
VI. ADJOURNMENT
A. Board Comments
Jeff thanked Brenda for the work on the Boat Motor Buy
Back committee.
Keith commented that Copper River Seafoods would be
running the city dock again for the 2006 season. Also 2 new
ramps will be installed in time for the 2006 dip net season.
The new Kenai City Manager is Rick~lt.' ~~~
Jack shared the information that Yamaha will be trying a
new throttle carn and computer chip that is expected to
increase the torque of the new engines at the beginning of
the acceleration phase to allow boats to get on step quicker.
He said he hoped that operators now using the new
Yamahas would experiment with this new technology and
report back to the board at the end of the summer on how
well they performed.
Jack also talked about the Kasilof River boat launch
restoration meeting will be held on March 14 at the CIA from
7to9PM.

Re: Rejection of Proposed Angler Drive Local Improvement District, Resolution Number 2006-06
(Kenai City Clerk's letter dated February 17, 2006)
To say that I am disappointed that the proposed improvement to pave Angler Drive was rejected by the
City Council on February 15 is an understatement. I can, however, understand the funding situation
confronting any city council in these days of unsettled funding sources.
On the other hand, I find very hard to understand is that there is no established mechanism in the Kenai
City Code that allows a valid petition to be carried over until funding becomes available. Being required
to repeat the petition process each time funding is determined to be inadequate is not only labor
intensive, but begs several questions:
• how and when do petitioners know if funding will be adequate in order to begin the process?
• when does the Council know if funding will be adequate?
• when does the City Planning or Public Works Departments know if funding will be adequate?
• how does the City plan any long lead-time projects from one funding year to the next if there is
no mechanism for carry-over of valid work when funding is inadequate?
• if a valid petition is submitted on the last day of a fiscal year when funding is determined to be
inadequate; another valid petition is submitted on the very first day of the next fiscal year; and
funding for the new fiscal year is determined to be adequate to fund one but not both of the
petitions, which of the two valid petitions will funded and which will be rejected?
I strongly urge the City Council to amend the City code to allow for the continuance of valid petitions
such as was submitted for the Angler Drive Local Improvement. The term of the continuance could be
as short as three years or as long as five years from the date the petition was submitted to the City
Clerk. Should funding not become available for the petition within the period authorized for the
continuance; the petition is rejecters and ±he process begins aneva. Should properties change
ownership, all that is needed would be a clause in the code for the new property owner to be apprised
of the petition, its estimated cost, and its prospective completion date upon taking possession of the
property. The new owner can then elect to be included in or excluded from the petition and the
percen#age of participants recalculated. If the recalculated percentage of participants is adjusted
downward below the acceptance threshold of 51 %, the petition is rejected; if not, the petition proceeds
along the process to ultimate completion. As an aside, the number of property ownership changes
along a street such as Angler Drive would be much easier to deal with than repeating the entire petition
process.
Meanwhile, I am requesting the City Clerk to send me the necessary information so that I may again
begin the petition process for the paving of Angler Drive.

As you begin year deliberations of the upcoming fiseal budget, I respectfully request
your consideration of the possibility of a full-time receptionist at City Hall. In
addition, I would ask that implementation off 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 benetlt&, Tlpnrafnrr~ flea engt Pn implement a 6nll-time reCeptioniS`e aTvaii
able to
respond to citizen concerns, questions, et a! should be minimal.
Also, we would like 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
reduction 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

City Manager

Subject: Frontier Community Services and Senior Connections Infrastructure
Mommsen Subdivision
I have calculated a rough cost estimate for constructing a new road and water and
sewer system in Mommsen Subdivision for Frontier Community Services and Kenai
Senior Connections. The road, water, and sewer extensions for this development are:
•:< Fifth Street -Redoubt Avenue to California Avenue
°:• Florida Avenue -Fifth Street to Second Street
°m• California Avenue -Fifth Street to Second Street
The rough cost estimate for the new road system (including curb and gutter, pavement,
storm drainage, topsoil and seeding, intersections, streetlights, and other miscellaneous
items) is $1,200,000 or $265/linear foot. The rough cost estimate for the new water and
sewer system expansion is $945,000 or $235/linear foot. The total rough cost estimate
for road, water, sewer expansion for this development is $2,145,000.
