Question of why the previous intentions of Council not to pursue
collection actions outside of the City Attorney were proposed to be changed.
Review of delinquency amounts the City was carrying.
Concern expressed there was not enough flexibility with the "shall be
turned over to the City's third -party collection agent for further collection action."
The basis for the City's charity care was the Central Peninsula Hospital's
or any other approved medical facility to where patients may be transported and
included a sliding scale, etc.
People would be given as much time as possible to make payments and
the City would continue to do as much as possible to assist.
The RFP would insist on the collection agency returning cases to the City
instead of assigning other legal counsel.
Concern many debtors may think, after so long, the debt had been
forgiven.
The City would be contacting those patients and informing them of the
charity care, payment plan, etc. provisions.
MOTION TO AMEND:
Council Member Molloy MOVED to amend the third paragraph (page 2) by
substituting "may" for "shall" in order to read, "...may be turned over to the City's
third -party collection agent for further collection action." Council Member Bookey
SECONDED the motion.
Discussion on the motion included who would decide a third -party billing would be
necessary, with the answer it would be at the discretion of the City Manager or
Finance Director.
VOTE ON AMENDMENT:
Student Representative Coffman: Yes
MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.

MOTION TO INTRODUCE:
Council Member Moore MOVED for introduction of Ordinance No. 2527 -2011 and
Council Member Marquis SECONDED the motion.
The floor was opened to public hearing.
Mark Schrag, 312 Princess Lane, Kenai Schrag spoke in support of the ordinance,
noting the mayoral position was ceremonial; thought the ordinance would reflect
better of the City; would allow people to be aware of vacancies; people do not apply if
they feel they will not be appointed because of differences of political opinions; and,
believed Mr. Brookrnan should still be considered for appointment to the Planning 85
Zoning Commission.
John Williams, 306 Candlelight Drive, Kenai Williams noted portions of Code and
Charter; stated the Mayor nominates and the Council confirms appointments; stated
concern with regard to the severability clause; and, suggested the ordinance be set
aside and the current process continue with Council taking an active role in finding
candidates to forward to the Mayor for consideration.
Tim Navarre, 608 Ponderosa, Kenai Suggested not introducing the ordinance;
believed it appeared there was a division on the Council with regard to the outcome of
the past election; believed the direction of the ordinance would unfairly pull applicants
into appointment discussions; did not feel there was a public recommendation, as
stated in the ordinance, to change the process; opposed the severability clause; felt the
ordinance would alienate the community; and, suggested a work session be held on
the ordinance.
There being no one else wishing to speak, the public hearing was closed.

Council comments included:
Intentions to request a work session after the public hearing on the
ordinance.
The ordinance was not about creating division, but to make the process
more public through advertising vacancies, and to include the process in the Code for
consistency; and, the process would allow nominations for appointments to come from
any Council Member, including the Mayor.
The ordinance would also allow a Commissioner to continue holding the
seat until a replacement is made.
Suggestion and support expressed to vote the ordinance down and hold a
work session on the issue.
To make changes to the Charter, a vote of the people would be required;
Robert's Rules allowed introduction of an ordinance at a later date, even if the
introduction failed; and., the severability clause was already in the Code.
Concern expressed timing was bad to bring the ordinance forward at this
time, but would support the introduction of the ordinance with a work session.
