Session 04-20, a Regular Meeting of the Homer City Council was called to order at 7:01.5 p.m. by Mayor Jack Cushing at the Homer City Hall Council Chambers located at 491 E Pioneer Avenue, Homer, Alaska, and opened with the Pledge of Allegiance.

Council met as a Committee of the Whole from 4:02 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Agenda items: Local Improvement District (LID) Process and the Regular Meeting agenda Items.

PRESENT: COUNCILMEMBERS: BECK, FENSKE, NOVAK, STARK, YOURKOWSKI.

STAFF: CITY MANAGER WREDE

CITY CLERK CALHOUN

ABSENT: COUNCILMEMBER: LADD (excused)

Department Heads may be called upon from time to time to participate via teleconference.

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 with the following changes:

Councilmember Stark requested that Ordinance 04-45 be deleted from the agenda. ⁽¹⁾

Addition of Memorandum 04-136, from Port Harbor Commission, Input pertaining to Ordinance 04-48. Informational AS 29.45.030 required exemptions, see subsection e. regarding $150,000.00 exemption. Letter from Councilmember Ladd.

A request from the Administration for the deletion of Ordinance 04-47. During the Committee of the Whole the Manager advised that the Ordinance was premature.

There were no objections.

PUBLIC COMMENTS UPON MATTERS ALREADY ON THE AGENDA

Public comments upon any matter except the public hearing items: Resolution 04-78 through 04-81the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation projects, Area-Wide Projects, Capital Projects/Legislative Request for FY2006, and Capital Improvement Plan 2005 through 2010; andOrdinance 04-42, US Department of Homeland Security Matching Grant of $36,000.00 FY 04 Assistance to Firefighters Grant, Appropriating the Sale of Surplus Equipment of $7,500.00 for the Match and Purchase of Equipment.

Ken Satre, Homer citizen and also on the Homer Hockey Association Board, thanked the Council for the opportunity to speak in support of Ordinance 04-48, for two reasons:

1. This Ordinance could offer up an opportunity or the assistance in the Homer Hockey Association being able to locate a spot for the Ice Rink. This has been a long and arduous process and difficult. New locations where a rink could be placed would certainly be advantageous for the community.

2. The addition of the locations in this Ordinance would be good for any and all youth and adult groups in the Homer area. It just seems that any additions that the Council can make, in terms of opportunities, for the people to expand their recreational options would be a good choice.

Mr. Satre stated that since this is a conditional use Ordinance that the Zoning and Planning Commission, and the City Council as well, would continue to have oversight on whatever requests are made, therefore it is not throwing caution to the wind. He voiced his hope that the Council would consider these comments in support of Ordinance 04-48.

RECONSIDERATION

None scheduled.

ANNOUNCEMENTS/PRESENTATIONS/BOROUGH REPORT/COMMISSION REPORTS

Bill Smith, Chair of the Town Center Development Committee, reported and shared the excitement of the Town Center Development Committee in their decision to move forward with the final selection of their two plans, to be forwarded to the Planning Commission in January, at their next meeting September 30th at the Homer Chamber of Commerce Building. Everyone, including the public, were invited to this meeting. He advised that this meeting will be to finally lay down, pretty much, the final outlines of what the development will look like. He stated that he has been working with Eileen Bechtol on some background material about extending the design manual into more architectural themes in addition to laying out the streets and park designs. He informed the Council that they will be recommending some architectural themes. He encouraged Council participation and voiced a hope that they will end up with some recommendations regarding amendments to the Community Design Manual.

Councilmember Stark voiced his desire that Council be advised and have some input into this document. He commented that he hates to see things go to a final conclusion before coming to the Council.

Mayor Cushing inquired if the Council wanted a "private showing" so to speak and the Council expressed consensus that attendance at the September 30th Town Center Development Committee was sufficient. Mayor Cushing clarified with Chair Smith that the Council may provide input at any meeting. Committee member reports were suggested.

It was also noted that two Councilmembers are on this Committee. Councilmembers Beck and Novak.

Kyra Wagner, Library Advisory Boardmember, thanked the Council for their support and for adopting Resolution 04-83. She noted that this is a small mile stone in the construction process and that these are the types of things that keep the Library Advisory Board going.

Planning Commission Chair Chesley provided a written report via email to the City Manager.

A. Memorandum 04-131, from Councilmember Stark, Re: Travel Reports - AML Legislative Meeting in Kenai and Trip report on MADD organizational meeting in Soldotna.

No action report only.

Councilmember Stark responded, regarding MADD, to Councilmember Fenske that he did not represent the City since he was not authorized to do so and to the Mayor's inquiry that the Kenai Peninsula Chapter is established in the Soldotna and Kenai area and that he suspects that as time goes on that they will expand their activities, which would be beneficial to the entire community.

B. Memorandum 04-132, from Councilmember Fenske, Re: Travel Report - AML Legislative Meeting in Kenai

No action report only

Councilmember Fenske pointed out that just because the state is experiencing some high oil prices at this particular time it is not the time to become complacent and not to pay close attention to the budgetary needs of the municipality. He commented on the end of State Revenue Sharing to the municipalities. He advised that the Alaska Municipal League, collective organization of municipalities, makes recommendations, one of which and the strongest, is for the development of a municipal dividend. He advised that there is information available on the Municipal Dividend and encouraged all citizens to become informed.

Councilmember Stark added a comment on the confusion about the revenue into the state coffers from the higher oil prices and the earnings of the permanent fund. He noted that the higher oil prices does put more money into the corpus of the main body of the permanent fund, which increases the earnings in the future. He stated that the proposal is to use the earnings and divide it between dividends and state government, probably education. He stated that as the earnings increase , which will increase dramatically in the near future due to the increased corpus of the permanent fund, then the money available for all of these activities; the dividends, the state cut of the pie - probably for education, and the remittance to municipalities; will increase.

C. Memorandum 04-133, from Library Advisory Board, Re: Potential Replat.

No action report only.

City Manager Wrede responded to Councilmember Stark's inquiry regarding the replat of the City's eight lots into two lots and the status of the right of way ⁽²⁾:

• Public Works prepared a replat that retained that right of way and turned the other lots, on either side, into two lots.

• This went to the Planning Commission.

• The Library folks would rather that the right of way be vacated and all eight lots, inclusive of the right of way, be combined into one lot.

• In addition there was a private citizen with an encroachment, on the easement, in the next block and who has some concerns.

• This is not an emergency and he had suggested to the Planning Commission that this be put off for discussions with the Library Advisory Board and to the private land owner to see if there is some way to work this out.

City Manger Wrede advised that he had relayed concerns to the Planning Commission about giving up rights of way that would certainly be needed for pathways and perhaps drainage and utilities. He added that it also seems problematic, before the Transportation Impact Assessment, to be giving up rights of way, because there is one school of thought that maybe an exit into that neighborhood ⁽³⁾, from the Library, would be a good thing.

Mayor Cushing asked for reconsideration of the Consent Agenda to note his conflict of interest with regard to Ordinance 04-48 and to abstain from that portion of the Consent Agenda.

Mayor Cushing handed the gavel to Mayor Pro Tempore Fenske.

There were no objections from the Council.

FENSKE/BECK - MOVED TO RECONSIDER THE CONSENT AGENDA.

VOTE: (reconsideration) YES: NON OBJECTION. UNANIMOUS CONSENT.

VOTE: (Revote on Consent Agenda main motion) YES: NOVAK, BECK. FENSKE. YOURKOWSKI, STARK.

COMMITTEE REPORT

A. Town Center Development Committee meeting held on August 26, 2004. Next meeting scheduled for September 30th at 6 p.m. at the Homer Chamber of Commerce.

Councilmember and Committee member Novak reported that the Committee is dealing with the infrastructure of the Town Square, that they have been addressing how to layout the infrastructure to develop the area and then they wanted to submit this to the Planning Commission. He noted that this does not state, specifically, what is going to happen as far as a specific section of Town Square, which is still open for interpretation and that they do have some plans, ie., the Heart of Homer Plan, which is one of the plans displayed in the Council Chambers. He advised that the Heart of Homer Plan is one of the plans that is popular on the Town Center Development Committee. He noted that this is the beginning of the process.

Councilmembers and Committee members Beck and Novak responded to inquiry that the Committee has been working closely with Public Works regarding sewer, water and roads infrastructure.

Councilmember Fenske gave a report on the Kachemak Bay Campus Advisory Council meeting. He emphasized that the campus project was delayed long enough that the $5 million budgeted, about ten years ago, for a new campus ended up, instead, in expansion project of an addition of 9,000 square feet due to the price of materials and the cost of construction increasing. He reported that it will take an additional $900,000.00 to complete the current project and portions of the project had to be cut to meet the budget, such as painting the existing facility to match the expansion.

Mayor Cushing called for Audience Comments prior to recessing to Executive Session and noted that there would be Audience Comments after the Executive Session.

COMMENTS OF THE AUDIENCE PRIOR TO EXECUTIVE SESSION - As called for by the Mayor.

Rosi Tupper addressed the Mayor, City Manager and hardworking Councilmembers advising them that this is another financial sob story, but involves a principle. She apologized in being much more knowledgeable about National government then local. She informed the Council that she has owned property and has lived on West Hill road over thirty years, that she is not rich through inheritance or divorce settlement and, possibly with her fixed income, is close to the poverty level. She stated that, in good faith, she obtained a building permit for $100.00 years ago, but has continued living in her garage, saving money and unable to commence construction until she sold property. She suggested that, perhaps, she should have asked for a refund of the $100.00. She emphasized that she paid beau coup in property taxes over the years, wondering what she was getting that people outside the City weren't and surely, not water or sewer or replacement of 60 year old crumbling culvert or a ditch to divert West Hill run off from her swampy back yard. She pointed out that she was not made aware that the construction tax exemption part is now $100.00 and not $200.00, therefore , she is paying up to $1,000.00 tax wise on building materials. She commented that by her improving her property the City will reap additional taxes. She stated that she would be happy to pay an addition $80.00 to cover inflation, but objected to being taxed $280.00, which is unfair and a source of ill will for her as a Senior Citizen.

The Mayor and Council advised her that they had a copy of the letter that Planning sent to her.

Ms. Tupper stated that she had not yet picked up the letter from the Post Office.

Mayor Cushing noted that a short break would be taken prior to going into Executive Session for anyone who wanted to speak to her more about this matter.

Frank Griswold, City resident, stated that he might have a comment on that Attorney opinion and inquired if it were going to be released tonight.

Mayor Cushing affirmed and stated that someone will get him a copy.

Frank Griswold commented on a minor point on Ordinance 04-48, that he noticed that in all the zones except the Central Business District have indoor and outdoor subsections o. and p. and that the Central Business District just has an o. outdoor.

Mayor Cushing advised him that indoor recreational facilities are already allowed in the Central Business District.

EXECUTIVE SESSION Pursuant to AS § 44.62.310(c)(1), Matters, the Immediate Knowledge of which would Clearly have an Adverse Effect Upon the Finances of the Government Unit and for Attorney Client Privilege (Hurlen Lawsuit - Pioneer Dock Project and Ocean Drive Loop Bluff Erosion Control/Seawall Project). Recommend approval and, pursuant to Council's Operating Manual, conduct just prior to Audience Comments unless the Mayor calls for it to be held at another point.

Mayor Cushing recessed the meeting to Executive Session at 7:58 p.m., reconvening the Regular Meeting at 9:48 p.m.

Councilmember Fenske stated that the Council met in Executive Session to hear an update on the litigation with the Hurlen Lawsuit dealing with the Pioneer Dock Project and also on the lawsuit regarding the Ocean Drive Loop Bluff Erosion Control/Seawall Project. He advised that the Council was briefed on the status of the litigation, that Council gave advice to the attorneys Gordon Tans and Mike Kreger, of Perkins Coie, and that no other action was taken.

COMMENTS OF THE AUDIENCE

Audience comments upon any matter.

Frank Griswold advised that he went over the City's opinion and that he has a few comments on it, about the conflict of interest. He commented the following:

• City Attorney failed to take into account that Ordinances 04-33 and 04-34 came to this Council as a packaged deal, as an A. and B.

• Discussions about Ordinance 04-33, which Councilmember Stark sponsored, did affect his property in GC2 and had a direct affect on the passage. This Ordinance did not pass, but the discussion and that vote on that Ordinance did have a direct affect on the passage of Ordinance 04-34, which did not include GC2, where Mr. Stark's property is located. These did come to the Council as a package, so that is important.

• The City Attorney did not address the fact that Mr. Stark attempted to cover up his financial interest instead of disclosing it. Contrary to Mr. Stark's disclosure his property is not in any Airport clear zone and it's not under consideration for purchase by the DOT.

• If the DOT wanted that land they would have probably bought it a year and a half ago when it was listed on the local real estate market from the previous owners.

• Mr. Stark is distinguishable from the hundreds of other affected property owner, because he owns a vacant ten acre parcel, which is suitable for a large box store. No attempt was made to determine how many of the "hundreds" of property owners had property suitable for large retail wholesale uses. The owner of a 6,000 square foot lot is not likely to put up a 45,000 square foot structure. Most of the hundreds of property owners affected by Ordinance 04-11(A) are in that same situation. Mr. Stark is not.

• The City Attorney did not address the fact that Councilmember Stark made his conflict of interest disclosure after the fact. That is not allowed by City Code.

• On page four of his opinion the City Attorney states, "He is not in the wholesale or retail store business and there is no indication that he has any interest or has plans to become involved in that business or in developing land for that purpose." This is totally irrelevant.

• In a previous case in 1996, Griswold Vs. City of Homer, the Supreme Court stated, "The proper focus is on the relationship between the official's financial interest and the possible result of the official's action regardless of the official's intent." The court cited the same case cited in the City Attorney's opinion Carney vs. State at pages 544 and 588. The Supreme Court also stated, "The plane language of HCC 1.24.040(g) appears to coincide with this principle."

• Councilmember Stark may not be involved in the retail or wholesale business, but as the owner of seventy nine (79) properties on the Kenai Peninsula he does appear to be engaged in land speculation and by preventing the imposition of size limitations he keeps his resale options open and ensures that, if DOT ever does buy his property, his property gets appraised at its highest and best use, including very large retail and wholesale uses.

• What if DOT continues to thwart Mr. Stark's vision for his property and WalMart makes a substantial offer? My bet is that, that offer will be accepted.

COMMENTS OF THE CITY ATTORNEY

City Attorney Tans and Kreger participated telephonically during the Executive Session.

COMMENTS OF THE CITY CLERK

City Clerk Calhoun had no comment.

COMMENTS OF THE CITY MANAGER

City Manager Wrede had no comment other than to apologize for having laryngitis.

COMMENTS OF THE MAYOR

Mayor Cushing stated that these are exciting times in Homer and that he will be following all of the issues.

COMMENTS OF THE CITY COUNCIL

Councilmember Yourkowski reported listening to the Kodiak City Council meeting and that under Comments of the Audience they take phone calls from the public. He inquired as to what the rest of the Council thought about that?

ADJOURNMENT

There being no further business to come before the Council the meeting was adjourned at 9:54 p.m. The next Regular Meeting is scheduled for Monday, September 27, 2004 at 7 p.m. The next Committee of the Whole meeting is scheduled for Monday, September 27, 2004 at 4 p.m. All meetings scheduled to be held in the Homer City Hall Council Chambers located at 491 E.
