A. Mayoral Proclamation, Homer Emblem Club, Month of September.

PUBLIC HEARING(S)

A. Ordinance 02-32, Of the City of Homer Amending Chapter 9.04 of the City Code to Provide for a Partial Exemption from Municipal Property Taxes on Residential Property Owned and Occupied by Certain Volunteers Who Provide Fire Fighting or Emergency Medical Services to the City. City Manager. Fiscal note: $50.00 per $100,000.00 assessed value of Fire Fighter/EMS volunteer’s residence. There are presently 42 active volunteers m/l and about 21 m/l are City residents. Effective date of the Ordinance is January 1, 2003, this will be a part of the 2003 budget process. (First Reading August 12, 2002, Public Hearing August 26, 2002 and Second Reading directly after public testimony.)

Gil Mayforth testified that he is glad to see the Council taking action in support of the City’s volunteers, who really do “put it on the line for them”. He pointed out that this only helps out half of the volunteers. He voiced his thought that with foresight and thoughtfulness the Council could help all the volunteers, it is the community service not just the City’s and serves all.

KRANICH/CUE - MOVED FOR THE ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE 02-32 FOR SECOND AND FINAL READING BY READING OF TITLE.

It was noted that the volunteers are an integral part of the community, and especially of the Fire Department. There was support for doing things to help the volunteers, to maintain volunteers and to possibly enlist more volunteers. It was noted that things like this exemption are small steps, are very vital and show the existing fire fighters, as well as any future fire fighters, that the City really does care and is appreciative of their service. Representative Scalzi and the City Manager were thanked for bringing this exemption forward.

City Manager Drathman, in response to public testimony, clarified that the City cannot give a tax break to non City residents. The City has contacted the President of the Assembly and this issue is being introduced at the Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly’s next meeting.

Mr. Mayforth came to the public address table to make comment.

Mayor Cushing asked if there were any objections of the Council to continuing public testimony.

No objections were voiced.

Mr. Mayforth stated that his point is that there are other pools of money that have been tapped and put elsewhere.

City Manager Drathman noted that once the Borough passes similar legislation the volunteer who is a city resident will receive both exemptions, city $10,000.00 and borough $10,000.00, equaling $20,000.00.

Councilmember Kranich pointed out that it is more advantageous to live in the City.

VOTE: NON OBJECTION. UNANIMOUS CONSENT.

Motion carried.

B. Ordinance 02-33, Of the City of Homer, Amending Homer City Code Section 1.04.030, Definitions, Repealing Subsections q. Permanent Maintenance and cc. Winter Maintenance, Amending Subsections s. Road and v. Street and Amending Homer City Code Section 11.04.055, Official Maintenance Map. City Manager. (First Reading August 12, 2002, Public Hearing August 26, 2002 and Second Reading directly after public testimony.)

There was no public testimony.

KRANICH/CUE - MOVED FOR THE ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE 02-33 BY READING OF TITLE FOR SECOND AND FINAL READING.

Councilmember Kranich stated that this is following in line with some of the previous action the Council took in changing the classification of streets and the level of service for streets.

Councilmember Marquardt reported hearing a lot of positive feed back from those in the newly annexed areas regarding the improved levels of maintenance to their roads. He relayed the excitement that has been expressed to him regarding these improved services.

VOTE: YES: NON OBJECTION. UNANIMOUS CONSENT.

Motion carried.

C. Ordinance 02-34, Of the City Council of Homer, Alaska Accepting and Appropriating a FY 2003 Legislative Grant from the State of Alaska DCED for the Purpose of Fire Packs in the Amount of $150,000.00 and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute the Appropriate Documents. City Manager. Fiscal Note: Revenue and Expenditure Acct. 151.736. (First Reading August 12, 2002, Public Hearing August 26, 2002 and Second Reading directly after public testimony.)

There was no public testimony.

CUE/MARQUARDT - MOVED FOR THE ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE 02-34 BY READING OF TITLE FOR SECOND AND FINAL READING.

Council voiced satisfaction and support for the fire department getting some new upgraded equipment, adding that the Council wants the best for the fire fighters. It was noted that Representative Scalzi got this grant in during the last state budget cycle to secure this funding for the City. It was noted that the fire packs are air packs.

Acting Fire Chief Elmer responded to Council inquiry that these air packs replace all of the current air packs, probably about forty, plus all the spare bottles and upgrades the testing system. He confirmed that this does include new air masks and is the whole package, is a considerable upgrade and has new safety features. He relayed that he does not know the exact distribution of the old air packs, but the intent is to give these to some other department that can use them. He emphasized that the older equipment has had pretty outstanding maintenance.

Mayor Cushing thanked the legislative effort on this grant.

VOTE: NON OBJECTION. UNANIMOUS CONSENT.

Motion carried.

D. Ordinance 02-35, Of the City Council of Homer, Alaska Accepting and Appropriating a FY 2003 Legislative Grant from the State of Alaska DCED for the Purpose of Broom Truck in the Amount of $50,000.00 and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute the Appropriate Documents. City Manager. Fiscal Note: Revenue and Expenditure Acct. 151.746. (First Reading August 12, 2002, Public Hearing August 26, 2002 and Second Reading directly after public testimony.)

There was no public testimony.

MARQUARDT/LADD - MOVED FOR THE ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE 02-35 BY READING OF TITLE FOR SECOND AND FINAL READING.

Councilmember Marquardt noted that this has been on the legislative request list for quite a few years and that during his six years on the Council he has seen a lot of items on that list get done and this is just one more item to take off the list. He stated that it will be great to see the sidewalks kept clean and will be a great addition to the community with all the increased use they seem to be getting.

Councilmember Ladd thanked Representative Scalzi for getting the funds for this broom truck. He commented on the area next to the Wagon Wheel wherein the dust really flies on a windy day, thus creating a health hazard. He voiced his hope that this broom truck could be used in that area.

City Manager Drathman advised that this broom truck is a scaled down version of a street sweeper for sidewalks. He reported that Representative Scalzi called from Juneau asking questions about this item on the list, which has been on the list forever. He commented on the state’s cleaning of the sidewalks that causes billows of clouds of dust. He stated that this is a welcomed piece of equipment.

VOTE: NON OBJECTION. UNANIMOUS CONSENT.

Motion carried.

F. Ordinance 02-36, Of the City Council of Homer, Alaska, Appropriating $37,000.00 for an Upgrade of the Port/Harbor Secom Twenty Year Old Computer Operating System and Site Specific Applications. City Manager. Fiscal Note: Transfer from Port/Harbor Operating Fund of $37,000.00 to Revenue and Expenditure Acct. 415-380. (First Reading August 12, 2002, Public Hearing August 26, 2002 and Second Reading directly after public testimony.)

There was no public testimony.

FENSKE/CUE - MOVED FOR THE ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE 02-36 BY READING OF TITLE FOR SECOND AND FINAL READING.

Councilmember Fenske commented about former Councilmember Parks and the work he did with the Fisheries Task Force. There were several items the task force addressed such as lot utilization, parking, street signage, how to control public and the need for another crane on the Deep Water Dock. He encouraged the Council as they look into revisiting the opportunity to serve in these positions that, although nothing happens real fast, when things happen it is really good and a lot of effort goes into these things. The benefit the community derives from the work the Council puts in is going to be evident in the growth of the industry and the ability of the industry to survive here in Homer. This upgrade of computer programs is going to help with the administration of the cranes. Mr. Fenske stated that he is very glad to see this happen, particularly, at the harbor.

VOTE: NON OBJECTION. UNANIMOUS CONSENT.

Motion carried.

G. Ordinance 02-37, Of the City Council of Homer, Alaska, Accepting and Appropriating a FY 2003 Capital Project Matching Grant from the State of Alaska DCED for the Purpose of Public Library in the Amount of $101,597.00, Appropriating the City Match of $31,508.00 from the General Fund and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute the Appropriate Documents. City Manager. Fiscal Note: Transfer from General Fund of $31,508 to Revenue and Expenditure Acct. 151-723 with Grant. (First Reading August 12, 2002, Public Hearing August 26, 2002 and Second Reading directly after public testimony.)

There was no public testimony.

FENSKE/MARQUARDT - MOVED FOR THE ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE 02-37 BY READING OF TITLE FOR SECOND AND FINAL READING.

Councilmember Fenske relayed that last budget session the Council agreed that they needed to concentrate on where to place grants to bring projects to fruition rather than partially funding projects. He stated that it is going to be his intent until the library is funded to see that as many dollars go toward the library project as Council can muster. He voiced his hope to see the same thing come in next year as this year for this Library grant. He commented on the recommendations from the Library Board on site analysis for the new library. Mr. Fenske stated that he would like to see “us” thinking about the possibility of doing some cost analysis on a couple of those sites and nail down a location and move forward with this project.

Councilmember Marquardt stated that Councilmember Fenske pretty much said what he was going to say about the Council’s intent the last few years to focus on projects that are near to having all the funding necessary or well on their way. He urged the Council to remember that focus in the next year or two. He relayed a question asked by a library user as to why, now, should anyone be any more excited about the possibility of a new library being built. He pointed to what Councilmember Fenske had to say about focusing Council effort and Council not losing track of that focus.

VOTE: YES: NON OBJECTION. UNANIMOUS CONSENT.

Motion carried.

ORDINANCE(S)

CITY MANAGER’S REPORT

A. City Manager’s Report (Seafair Marine Safety Rodeo announcement.)

B. Bid Report.

City Manager Drathman announced that the Seafair Marine Safety Rodeo is on Monday, September 3rd at 2 p.m. on the Homer Spit Beach. Competition takes place on the beach between the entrance of the harbor and the Coast Guard Dock. There will be a helicopter rescue followed by a special presentation and then the games begin. The Chamber of Commerce may be contacted for further information.

He reported that the City is currently reviewing a new financial software package to replace the City’s current antiquated software, which is kind of hard to get data out of and there are certain things that it will not do. This software is pricey, about $70,000.00. A report will soon be to the Council.

He commented about looking at the August 13, 2001 Council packet wherein an ordinance was introduced to look at putting a skateboard park in at Ben Walters Park, emphasizing that in one short year this issue has come to the point of introducing an ordinance that virtually assures that the skateboard park will be done. He recognized Administrative Assistant Holen for her work on combination funding that she has raised for the skate board park, which is now located adjacent to the Boys and Girls Club. He expressed his opinion that with this combined funding, the money the kids have raised, and coupled with the $20,000.00 the City is considering for the paving, there should be enough to finish this project. He emphasized that this would mean another project completed. Bids for the paving should be received shortly. The skateboard park will provide a place for the skateboard activities, the kids can move their “stuff”, get off the streets, out of the parking lots, off the railings around town and have a place to call their own. He relayed the report that the kids are going to continue fund raising through the fall and then place an order for the equipment so it will be here after the snow is gone.

COMMITTEE REPORT

Mayor Cushing pointed out that Kenai Peninsula Borough Assemblyman Moss was present. Assemblyman Moss had no comment.

A. Road Standards Committee

B. Town Square Working Group

Councilmember Yourkowski requested some kind of worksession with the Town Square Working Group so that everyone has the same information and they can get Council input as far as direction. He asked for an appropriate time in September. He suggested that a background packet be created.

There appeared to be a consensus to do this during the Committee of the Whole on September 23, 2002.

C. Beach Policy Task Force, Synopsis of July 31 and August 7, 2002.

The next Beach Policy Task Force meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, September 11th at 7 p.m. in the Council Chambers

Councilmember Fenske inquired if there was any further information regarding Fish and Game restrictions.

Chair Cue advised that Stewart Seaburg from the State Fish and Game attended the last meeting and really did not have a lot of information. She relayed that Mr. Seaburg is very interested in working with the City of Homer to coordinate what is happening with the beaches, particularly the coast line areas. She reported that the Fish and Game has a general permit for off road vehicles use. According to Ms. Cue, Mr. Stewart is very interested in getting the state involved with efforts with the City to clarify state issues, city issues, signage and enforcement.

Mayor Cushing inquired if the general off roads permit begins at the airport beach access and continues on toward the head of the Bay.

Chair Cue confirmed.

D. Parking Task Force.

City Manager Drathman reported that the Planning Director plans to draft a final recommendation and circulate it amongst the members to see if everyone is in agreement to bring the plan forward, if there is not agreement there will be additional meetings.

PENDING BUSINESS

NEW BUSINESS

RESOLUTIONS

Mayor Cushing voiced a conflict of interest since he is on the design team for the Hillside Acres water and sewer projects and, after handing the gavel to Mayor Pro Tem Marquardt, excused himself from the table.

A. Resolution 02-55(S), Of the City Council of the City of Homer, Alaska Authorizing the Formation of the Hillside Acres Sewer Assessment District at 50% Property Owner Share of the Assessments and Authorizing the City Manager to Proceed with the Preparation and Construction of the Hillside Acres Sewer Project. City Clerk. Fiscal Note: Project estimated at $963,000.00. Property owner share in assessments is 50%, City’s share funded by the HAWSP. Estimated parcel assessment is $11,464.29.

FENSKE/LADD - MOVED FOR THE ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION 02-55(S) BY READING OF TITLE.

Council voiced their excitement with the water and sewer projects that are coming to fruition. Public Works, the Administration, the City Council and the Clerk’s Office were thanked for all of their efforts. The Council noted that the Hillside Acre parcels do have a large assessment for the water and sewer $23,000 or so; however, that this assessment does give them permanent water and sewer.

The City Clerk clarified that the two additional objections are from the same property owners who are voicing objection on two parcels.

Discussion ensued.

VOTE: YES: NON OBJECTION. UNANIMOUS CONSENT.

Motion carried.

Mayor Cushing returned to the table at 8:28 p.m.

COMMENTS OF THE AUDIENCE

There were no audience comments.

COMMENTS OF THE CITY ATTORNEY

City Attorney Tans was not present.

COMMENTS OF THE CITY CLERK

City Clerk Calhoun commented that the City Manager’s Secretary had predicted the meeting would get done at 8:35 p.m. and that it appears she is going to be real close. (The time of this statement was 8:29 p.m.)

COMMENTS OF THE CITY MANAGER

City Manager Drathman commented that he never thought the meeting would get done at 8:35 p.m.

COMMENTS OF THE MAYOR

Mayor Cushing encouraged everyone to get out and vote tomorrow. He reported on attending the Homer High football game at Skyview, that the scoreboard was not working, it appeared that the game was tied, each team got two touch downs, and that there were two conversions that may have both been Homer’s.

City Manager Drathman commented on the ballot issue to exclude non processed food items from sales tax. If this passes the projection is that it will be a fiscal impact of $400,000.00 to $500,000.00. He stated that he will be putting out an informational pamphlet that will factually explain the consequences.

COMMENTS OF THE CITY COUNCIL

Councilmember Fenske voiced appreciation to the Manager for reminding them and stated that this initiative is just to get the matter on the ballot for October and that he is glad that the City is going to try to get something out that explains just exactly what is happening. He stated that he has heard very little through the media and there has not been a good discussion regarding the pros and cons as to what this is going to do. Everyone would like to have a tax cut, but if it is going to load someplace else with a tax burden or cut services that are needed then it needs to be looked at long and hard.

Councilmember Yourkowski agreed that it is a good idea, however, the initiative would have been better if it had of addressed mitigating the impacts.

Councilmember Ladd voiced his pleasure that the skateboard paving measure passed tonight. He thanked the “kids” and stated that this was done very well with $25,000.00 coming from the Rasmussen Grant, $10,000.00 from Tony Hawk Foundation, kids went out and raised $5,000.00, another $8,000.00 from Rotary International, with half coming from the Sister City. He stated that it behooves the City to kick in a little bit too. He stated that he is please to see “them” off the parking lot at the High School, because it is dangerous, and skateboarding in an area where it is much safer. He asked for a comment from the Mayor or the City Manager regarding the Administrative Order from the Governor that mandates that all public construction projects pay prevailing wages whether using a contractor or force account construction methods. He voiced his concern that this could be a very costly item.

City Manager Drathman reported that this was discovered by AML Executive Director Kevin Ritchie. Mr. Ritchie contacted the City Manager who is the representative from the Manager’s Association on the AML Board. This order was devastating because the term, ‘force accounting’, means using the municipal work force to perform jobs that might have traditionally gone to the private sector and out on bid. He advised that there have been some conferences and the last one was last Friday with the Governor. The Manager noted that the goals are great, but the impacts will be felt in local communities. He voiced his hope that after modification everyone will be able to live with this administrative order.

Mayor Cushing followed up the Manager’s comments, adding that the Alaska Conference of Mayors did a resolution along the lines that the Manager was talking about. He commended the City Manager and relayed commendation from the Mayors for giving the provocative argument for the Governor to slow down on this bill before he signs it and make sure that it gets modified to the benefit of the cities, to the local hire and to the different projects that are getting built on shoe string budgets by local employees and temporary local employees.

Councilmember Marquardt informed the Council that he has contacted the City Attorney requesting information on enforcing the Alaska Statute regarding vehicle noise and the feasibility of the City of Homer being able to enforce that law. He voiced his hope on getting the information real soon and that he will copy each of them with the information.

Councilmember Kranich clarified one comment that Councilmember Ladd made and, also on page 25 of the packet, in the City Manager’s memorandum pertaining to the construction of the skateboard park. The $8,000.00 pledge by Rotary International and half from the Sister City Kyoto, Japan is the Rotary Sister City. The City of Homer’s Sister City in Japan is Teshio. He stated that the City of Homer enjoys a very good relationship with Teshio and that relationship is alive, well and solid. He thanked the Rotary International and Kyoto for the contribution to the community.

Mayor Cushing interjected that the Rotary has many Sister Cities and sometimes the term gets used loosely with regard to Homer.

City Manager Drathman thanked public works for the work they did on the Heath Street access to the Homer High School. He reported that on Thursday, the day after the schools opened, 92 vehicles used Heath Street and 18 used the East Road entrance. He relayed the Laidlaw Bus drivers’ appreciation.

Mayor Cushing advised that no time is saved if the Heath Street exit is used when trying to go out East Road.

ADJOURNMENT

There being no further business to come before the Council the meeting was adjourned at 8:45 p.m. The next Regular Meeting is scheduled for September 9, 2002 at 7:30 p.m. The Committee of the Whole will meet from 4:00 p.m. followed by a Worksession on the CIP/Legislative Requests and Governor’s Matching Grant is scheduled at 6 p.m. These meetings will be held in the Homer City Hall Council Chambers located at 491 E. Pioneer Avenue, Homer, Alaska.
