AGENDA APPROVAL
(Addition of items to or removing items from the agenda will be by unanimous consent of the Council. HCC 1.24.040.)
The agenda was approved by consensus of the City Council.
PUBLIC COMMENTS UPON MATTERS ALREADY ON THE AGENDA
Findlay Abbott states he lives at Yukon Island and has property in the City of Homer. He warned he was going to be grouchy, however, he first wanted to express his appreciation of all the council does for Homer. He wanted to talk about harbor rates for small boats and short time users because it appears they go up every year. He noted that as the boat length increases the cost per linear foot decreases, therefore, the large users have considerably smaller cost per foot in the harbor. He didn't think there is justification for larger boats paying less per linear foot than small boats. Even worse is the penalty upon people who are short term users like the ones who live across the Bay. He said that in the summer it may be that so many come from out of town to use the harbor for short term use and they won't care much what the fee is, however, in the winter it hurts those who live across the Bay. At that rate, he thought that in seven days a boat owner could pay for a whole month making the short term user penalized 400%. Lots of residents across the Bay make one day trips and many don't have income in winter so this policy sends people out in the dark and storms because they can't afford to get stuck in Homer for a couple of days. He advised that the harbor is a public facility paid for by State funds, that the City of Homer didn't buy the harbor. Since the State paid for it, he said it's essentially part of the State Highway System. He concluded that this issue has been brought up before and the City hasn't responded at all. He didn't expect an answer tonight but asked the Council to think about it the next time it comes up.
City Manager Drathman advised that there will be a worksession of the council on October 29th addressing the harbor fees. He explained the process of the budget.
Carol Swartz spoke in reference to Memorandum 01-62 from City Manager, regarding the UAA KPC facility lease. She thanked the City Manager for all the work back and forth since the beginning of September on the lease negotiations. Ms Swartz advised that the memorandum refers to $67,000 a year which includes rent and utilities in which 22.5% of that amount is utilities. She advised that she, the board and the Student Association think is very high. She said the concept of rent is not the issue; it's the amount of the rent that's a problem. Ms. Swartz passed on that there are lots of public policy issues raised that she and the board felt they should pass on. She said that the legislature, that funds the capital budget, wants to see local support specifically from the City of Homer. She asked that in order to show support maybe the true rental portion could get reconsidered down or maybe there could be some way to credit it back. She felt that this can show the legislature there is support from the City of Homer. She was looking for a creative approach for a win/win situation. She wants a public institution (the City of Homer) to support another public institution (Kachemak Bay Campus). She concluded that she is thrilled that there is a lease and thanked the council and administration for that.

KRANICH/CUE - MOTION TO ADOPT ORDINANCE 01-54 BY READING OF TITLE FOR FIRST READING.
Councilmember Cue inquired of Chief Robl why the fee increase has not been considered since 1988. Chief Robl explained that this fee schedule change is a result of meetings with Sheri Bess at the shelter and comparisons to Soldotna and Kenai shelter fees. He concurred that this should have been done earlier. Councilmember Ladd asked if this would be an annual change now that it's in the fee schedule. He was advised by administration that there will be no changes unless there is a request for a change. The subject of not accepting animals from outside the City was discussed. Chief Robl advised that the work load at the animal shelter has gone down since this policy was enacted, however, the statistics will take a few months to catch up in the monthly report. He felt the number would reflect favorably. Support for the new fee schedule was voiced as it appears it will deter repeat offenders. Appreciation was expressed that there is some monetary attachment to the animal population so that if people cannot afford to put out funds for the care of an animal, maybe they would reconsider adoption.

COMMITTEE REPORT
PENDING BUSINESS
NEW BUSINESS
A. Executive Session. Foreclosed Property. Council may take action or make a statement.
Presiding Officer Fenske recessed the meeting to Executive Session at 8:21 p.m.
Presiding Officer Fenske reconvened the regular meeting at 8:45 p.m.

B. Consent Agenda Item Q. Memorandum 01-62, from City Manager, Re: UAA-KPCC Facility Lease. Recommend approval.
YOURKOWSKI/CUE - MOTION FOR APPROVAL OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF MEMORANDUM 01-62 BY READING OF TITLE.
Councilmember Ladd was glad that there is a lease and the university has a place to call home for the coming year. He addressed the poor condition and the high cost of maintenance for the building also known as the Intermediate School. If, however, there is any money left from lease proceeds after cost of maintenance, he would like to see some of the money go toward a scholarship fund such as the one Fairbanks has set up. He felt this would exhibit support for a university in Homer and assist Homer City residents that don't have the means for tuition. He suggested that funds get earmarked for this purpose through the Homer Foundation. He voiced support for the education of our youth. Councilmember Kranich pointed out that this lease, divided out, comes to 66.9 cents a square foot and felt this is a good deal with all utilities paid. He confirmed with City Manager Drathman that the snow removal clause does include the maintenance of sidewalks and steps and felt that made it an even better deal. Discussion included opposition to earmarking funds and the possibility that the City will have to use General Funds to cover costs to maintain this building. It was noted that any problems with this lease appeared to be at the local administration level and not at the legislature or the university level. Councilmember Ladd voiced his wish to make a statement to the University that Homer supports education. Administration stated that the revenues from the lease will go into the General Fund unless the council says otherwise.
VOTE - YES: KRANICH, CUE, FENSKE, LADD, YOURKOWSKI
Motion carried.
C. Consent Agenda Item L. Memorandum 01-56, from City Manager, Re: Gates Construction Lease Renewal, modification and Second Amendment to Preferential Use Agreement. Fiscal Note: $0.55 per square foot for lots 104 for three years with annual CPI lease rate adjustment and swap lots 1-3 for use of lot 11 at $0.55 per square foot for three years. Recommend approval.
KRANICH/CUE - MOTION TO APPROVE THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF MEMORANDUM 01-56 BY READING OF TITLE.
Councilmember Kranich noted a typo on page 128 Section 3.02 Tenant to Pay Taxes in which it read "a applicable real estate taxes" and should say "all applicable real estate taxes". A clarification was made that prior to Gates using this property for collateral they would have to get City approval. Further clarification was made that the Amendment section of the lease refers to an original agreement not included in the packet. A question of rates referred to on page 160 concluded that they are current. Councilmember Kranich asked about warfage fees on (wood) chips and was advised there is no warfage on chips coming over the beach. It's charged by contract.
VOTE - YES: YOURKOWSKI, KRANICH, CUE, FENSKE, LADD
Motion carried.
RESOLUTIONS
. Resolution 01-78, Of the City Council of Homer, Alaska Urging the Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly to Expand the Size of the Borough Planning Commission to Fourteen Members and to give the City of Homer Final Platting Authority. City Manager
Memorandum from City Manager as backup.
CUE/LADD - MOTION FOR ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION 01-78 BY READING OF TITLE
City Manager Drathman advised that this resolution is recommending one possible scenario and invited amendments. He pointed out alternatives in the backup memorandum. Due to changes required by the new census, he advised that the borough has a pending ordinance to increase the size of the planning commission. Another proposal was having each city in the borough sit out one year out of five and yet another was having one city sit out and delegate to the city's planning authority for routine platting. He reminded council that this is not binding; it is just a recommendation. There was brief discussion of AS 29.40.010(b) and the authority of City and Borough regarding platting. Support was voiced for the 14 member Borough Planning Commission so everyone has representation.
YOURKOWSKI/CUE- MOTION FOR AMENDMENT TO BELOW THE PARAGRAPH THAT SAYS "NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED", HAVE ANOTHER PARAGRAPH THAT SAYS "BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT THE HOMER CITY COUNCIL REQUEST THAT THE KENAI PENINSULA BOROUGH ASSEMBLY BEGIN THE PROCESS OF BOROUGH WIDE ZONING AND DEVELOP A MEANINGFUL COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR THE BOROUGH".
Councilmember Yourkowski felt that the council needs to take every opportunity to send this message. He pointed out that the City had four reasons for annexation; two involved zoning and two involved development outside the city. He reiterated that he felt this is a good opportunity to pass this along. Agreement was expressed on the principle of the amendment however a suggestion was made to make this a separate resolution so as not to encumber this one. Administration agreed with this suggestion. A opinion was expressed that the council is responsible for Homer, therefore, it would be the responsibility of the borough to come forward with this issue. In response, the request of the council for assistance by residents on Baycrest about a year ago was brought up to show that Homer needs to work more synergistically with the borough to create a community that includes the borough and the area around the city. Further support was voiced for the city to weigh in for people outside the city to the borough on planning issues.
VOTE- (amendment motion) YES: FENSKE, YOURKOWSKI, CUE
NO: LADD, KRANICH
Motion failed.
City Manager Drathman reminded the council that he invites amendments to the resolution and briefly discussed what changes would be needed for each scenario.
VOTE- (on Main Motion) YES: LADD, YOURKOWSKI, KRANICH, CUE, FENSKE
B. Consent Agenda Item J. Resolution 01-76, Of the Homer City Council Supporting the Application for the State of Alaska Department of Community and Economic Development FY2002 Mini Grant Program for the Purchase of a Zamboni Machine. City Manager. Recommend adoption.
CUE/LADD - MOTION FOR ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION 01-76 BY READING OF TITLE.
Councilmember Kranich questioned why we have been pushing ahead when there isn't a piece of property for the Hockey Association. Administration advised that the City wants to encourage non-profits adding that the Hockey Association will have a site next year; that the only things lacking for them right now is a Zamboni and property. Further, this grant was due to expire and the Hockey Association is matching the grant funds. Concern was reiterated regarding the responsibility of the City to house, maintain or service this piece of equipment. Administration advised that there is nothing that commits the city at this point. Councilmember Ladd pointed out that the Hockey Association is at a critical point as to whether or not they will stay together. Travel in the past has been a hardship and many are dropping because of dangerous travel. He acknowledged that the acquisition of land will not be easy due to such requirements as adequate parking, size and having to be flat. He expressed support for the Hockey Association in buying the Zamboni, however, is worried about the next step as to the council's commitment to this recommendation.
VOTE - YES: CUE, FENSKE, LADD, YOURKOWSKI, KRANICH
Motion carried.
COMMENTS OF THE AUDIENCE
Shirley Thompson advised that she represents the neighbors in Baycrest Subdivision. She was requesting help with Mt. Augustine and Judy Rebecca Court road maintenance. She stated that the residents there have absolutely no help with services adding that the driver of the Quick Draw water truck says it is one of the worst roads in Homer. She specifically requested some grading, plowing and sanding as living there is difficult for her. As a senior citizen she is concerned about emergency services for everyone. Speaking for the neighborhood she felt like they get nothing for their tax money. She advised that the HARP program probably would not work because she is having a problem getting people in the neighborhood to sign up because so many own large parcels of land. City Manager Drathman advised that he and the Public Works Director are working on a new road standard to deal with sub standard roads. He state that this road is maintained minimally however, it does not have a regular maintenance schedule.
Glenda Dention is a resident of the Mt Augustine neighborhood and advised the road is treacherous. She didn't think a road grader would be able to negotiate the road. She advised there are times when she has to hike out and pointed out that annexed roads would be dealt with but this road is in the city and is not being taken care of. Ms. Dention relayed that in late1999 there was a road that went in there to 25-30 acre parcels. This made changes whereby no culvert was put in which has created water drainage on the road and now creates a hazardous condition in the winter time. She suggested that the culverts be put in when the road is built. She pointed out an erosion problem on a neighbor's property. City Manager Drathman invited her and the neighbors to get together with he and Public Works Director Carey Meyer to discuss the issue.
COMMENTS OF THE CITY ATTORNEY
City Attorney Tans was not present.
COMMENTS OF THE DEPUTY CITY CLERK
Deputy City Clerk Benson had no comment.
COMMENTS OF THE CITY MANAGER
City Manager Drathman stated that there is no scheme to get the City in the Hockey business, referring to prior discussion. He added that Homer ranks last of all city's on the peninsula in it's support for recreation for both adults and kids. The only funding Homer does is to maintain the parks now owned. He applauded what the non-profits are doing. He does not intend to spring parks and recreation projects on the council at all. He's trying to figure every conceivable way to make the costs less for everybody.
COMMENTS OF THE MAYOR
Mayor Cushing was not present.
COMMENTS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
Councilmember Yourkowski followed up on the City Manager's comments by saying that the City can show many examples of how the City's dollars are multiplied many times by non-profits and volunteers such as Homer Council on the Arts and the Homer Museum and other groups that are funded through the Homer Foundation. He advocated increasing funding to the Homer Foundation.
Councilmember Ladd felt Homer is at a point where we have to decide where we are going with our recreation adding that right now we are looking at a skateboard area, baseball and softball locations, soccer and a cooperative arrangement with Community Schools. He felt that where we are going with recreation is something the council has to address. He suggested a long range plan of somehow merging or developing services and joint-use properties. He pointed out that the school district is in "massive trouble" financially for recreation activities, yet there is a tremendous desire on the peninsula to keep expanding activities. He listed activities peninsula wide that didn't exist and now do. He felt the City needs to look at how we will engage in recreation and do some master planning. He supported bringing Hockey activities to Homer.
Councilmember Kranich clarified that he was never against recreational programs in Homer and when he looks at the budget he acknowledged that the City doesn't have a formal recreational program, however, in looking at the hours and dollars spent by the city maintaining recreational facilities on city owned property --albeit it be donated-- the City is still committing significant dollars and time to this without a formal program. He called for caution in spending because this is the time the council is dealing with budget issues and there are only so many dollars to spend. He stated that the City can still support non-profits and provide services to the community.
Councilmember Cue had no comment.
Councilmember Yourkowsi said Presiding Officer Fenske did a great job tonight.
Councilmember Ladd asked about activities on Armistice Day. He was advised that the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars will be doing the activities and the City doesn't. No one knew whether these activities would take place on Sunday or Monday.
Councilmember Yourkowski asked if, in response to the Local Boundary Commissions deadline of November 6th, the City Manager will write a response and get input from the Council. City Manager Drathman advised that his response will be from the Staff, therefore will not be seeking council input. There were several comments from the council suggesting the need for a special meeting after the worksession on Monday regarding a council response. Councilmember Ladd voiced support for the Special Meeting saying he would like to respond as a council to the Local Boundary Commission's report.
Presiding Officer Fenske called for any objection to having a Special Meeting after the worksession. There was no objection and the Council agreed to have a Special Meeting at 7:30 p.m. after the worksession regarding the council's response to the Local Boundary Commission's preliminary report.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business to come before the Council the meeting was adjourned at 10:12 p.m.. The next regular meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, November 13th at 7:30 p.m. preceded by the Committee of the Whole meeting at 4 p.m. A Budget Worksession is scheduled for October 29, 2001 at 6 p.m. followed by a Special Meeting at 7:30 p.m..
