by furnishing the board and the applicant with a clear and concise
written statement of reasons in support of a protest of the application
within 30 days of receipt of this notice. If you file a protest, the board
will not approve the application unless it finds that the protest is arbi-
trary, capricious and unreasonable. Instead, in accordance with
AS O4.11.610(b), the board will notify the applicant that the application is
denied for the reasons stated in the protest. The applicant is entitled to
an informal conference with either the director or the board and, if not
satisfied by the informal conference, is entitled to a formal hearing in

hibit the sale or consumption of alcoholic beverages.
If you wish to protest the application referenced above, please do so in the

PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
A. ROLL CALL
Present: Ray Measles, Dick Mueller, Tom Wagoner,
V nc nt O'Reilly, Jess Hall
Absent: Ron Malston, Betty Glick
WETLANDS HEARING:
Murray Walsh, Office of Coastal Management, spoke. He
explained, they are here basically to "grease the wheels."
There is a Memo of Understanding(MOE) that all pertinent
agencies would sign. This will take time and money to
complete. Mr. Walsh noted Mayor O'Reilly had explained
how much it means to the City. As a result, it means
more to OCM, after his presentation. Coastal manage-
ment programs require proposals, the Borough is doing
one right now. What the new Borough administration feels,
OCM doesn't know. It will take 1-1/2 years to prepare,
one year to study and 6 mos. to agree on what is right.
All at the table must agree all along the line. This
is experimental, it has not been done before. OCM serves
as "grease," but at some time an agency must take over
that can stay in the area. Ultimately there will be a
City consultant. The 4 State agencies and 4 Federal
agencies must agree. The agencies involved are:
Federal -
Corps. of Engineers
National Marine Fisheries
Fish & Wildlife
State -
Dept. of Environmental Conservation
Dept. of Natural Resources
Fish & Game
Office of Coastal Management
State Dept. of Community & Regional Affairs will
be major funding source.
Councilwoman Glick entered at this time.
Amy Kyle, Office of Coastal Management, spoke. She
noted Gary Davis, Administrative Coordinator, had sug-
gested the City take the lead in promoting this to the
citizens of the City. This is something the City can
consider. It is entirely legal. Mr. Walsh noted OC14

would encourage this. Ms. Kyle continued - The advan-
tages of this program are%
1. The permit system would be more predictable.
2. Review time would be shorter.
3. Important wetlands will be identified.
4. Siting of wetlands locations will be found.
5. In case of a State trade-off, it can be done
on the basis of this plan.
6. It could bring bureaucratic problems out in
the open.
7. Areas that need Corps. of Engineers identifi-
cation will be made.
Mayor O'Reilly asked, if the City signs the 240E, what
does Mr. Walsh see the City will put into the "pot?"
Mr. Walsh replied, largely the same thing. OCM hopes
the Borough will support the City project, and not slow
it down. If we show solidarity, it will help." We repre-
sent many different needs, the City will primarily repre-
sent the needs of the City." Environmental concerns are
well represented, the City will best speak on development
needs.
Councilman Malston arrived.
Debby Clausen, State Fish & Game, spoke. She introduced
representatives present at the Meeting, there were repre-
sentatives Proms Environmental Protection Agency, Fish
& Wildlife, Fish & Game, Dept. of Natural Resources,
Environmental Conservation Agency, Dept. of Conser-
vation, Planning Div., and National Marine Fisheries.
Ms. Clausen read from her prepared statement.
Mayor O'Reilly asked what was the estimated cost of the
study? Ms. Clausen replied approximately $224,000. The
habitat part will be over two years.
Councilman Wagoner asked, what was the definition of
wetlands? Mr. Walsh replied, there are about 15 differ-
ent opinions, the Corps. of Engineers defines it as a
combination ofs
Vegetation
Soils
Hydrology
Ms. Clausen noted it is identified by Fish & Wildlife
based largely on vegetation and soils. Mr. Walsh said '

the jurisdiction is intertwined with the wetlands def-
inition. There are many variables. Ms. Kyle noted as
part of this project, the Corps, of Engineers will tell
us what part of the wetlands fall�aver"their jurisdiction,
There are two criteria sr-
1. Whether they are defined as wetlands.
2. If they are in the right place
Mayor O'Reilly asked, what is the next stage? Mr.
"
Walsh replied, whatever Council steps are needed. He
noted right now all agencies are in agreement, Mayor
O'Reilly asked, is Jan. 15, 1981 start-up? Mr. Walsh
-
replied yes. Mayor O'Reilly asked, if we have a
Jan. 7, 1981 resolution, would that fit in your time
frame? Mr. Walsh replied, they will start now and wait
for the go-ahead from the City. They must hear from
the Borough first.
Public Input -
-
Waldo Coyle spoke. He noted since he is part-owner of
the land, under a patent awarded in 1949, he wanted to
speak. Nothing was said about water or Corps, of Engi-
neers supervision. He only recognizes the stipulations
°
on his patent. OCM is asking the City to make a deal on
lands we know nothing about, and will get no reimburse -
went for. How can the government take land without
just compensation? The City has zoning powers under
the Borough, now OCM is attempting to take lands without
compensation. Perhaps a court case would be necessary
to establish if they can take the land without compen-
sation.
Ruby Coyle spoke. She didn't think the City should go
into an agreement with these people, She has not seen
the agreement yet.
k'
Phil Bryson, Chairman of Planning & Zoning Commission,
spoke. He would like to see public hearings with Plan-
ning & Zoning and the Council.
Uo"E�
Mr. Walsh said he was unprepared for the strength of some
'8
4;
people's feelings.. There must be 30 days notice for
public hearings. We could start Fish & Game efforts
on the gamble of the City's feelings. The other agencies
'
can wait, Fish & Game cannot. The agreement is just to
- ---
participate in the effort, the City can step away at any
time from the effort. OCM wants a sense of togetherness.

City Manager Brighton asked Mr. Walsh, without the agree-
ment, the study will not be done? Mr. Walsh replied yes.
Mr. Brighton asked, wouldn't you have to do this anyhow,
even dept. by dept.? Mr. Walsh replied the idea is our
dept. and the City will agree.
Council agreed to a special meeting on Jan. 14, 1981.
Mayor O'Reilly said then Mr. Walsh could have the feel-
ing of the City to bring to the Borough Jan. 20, 1981.
Mr. Walsh said that was okay. He noted Community &
Regional Affairs is reluctant to gamble, but OCM may
be able to work with the Borough in that time. Mayor
O'Reilly noted Mr. & Mrs. Coyle are excellent sources
- of reference, if Mr. Walsh was interested. Mr. Walsh
replied, if they wish to, OCM would like to contact them.
Councilwoman Glick said the whole idea of the program
is to simplify the program. Regarding compensation,
that is discussed in the preamble. These things are
being addressed. It is of benefit to owners as well
as the City. Waldo Coyle said if this is a Federal
act, they must be done by the Federal Government, it
is not up to the City to settle. Mr. Walsh said it may
be that a court suit may bring about the desired result.
• He didn't think so. He hopes the citizens don't doubt
-! the sincerity of the entities involved.
l
Mayor O'Reilly said at the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce
meeting Monday (12-15-80) there were some startling
I statements mades their position was that the quality
of life will now be the most fundamental issue in the
City development. It is a reversal of the previous
potions.
After a recess, the regular Council meeting continued.
There was no agenda approval.

Council delay action till we find out what the Bor-
ough will do with planning. We may have to hire
someone to take over these duties.
Ruby Coyle spoke. She agreed with Mr. Regelin.
She wonders if we get the same kind of service
on a contractural basis as we do with City employees.
"Contracts are fine, but if any little deal is not
in writing, you can come out with a sour one." You
would have more direct control over a City employee.
i
You need someone to have control over City lands.
She would think long before selling the City lands.
We have just seen what happened on a lease of City
y
lands to the small boat harbor. She can see the
City down the road buying back land the City has
R
sold now. There is lots of land on the market.
=
You need someone qualified to handle leasing of
land, but we should not sell.
Atty. Delahay suggested the Council tie this into

Council agreed.

Capital Improvement Projects - Request for
State Funding
City Manager Brighton reviewed the brochure. He
explained the City was starting on the premise,
what would be the City's wishes if they only got
$2 Million, then moved up to $4 Million, to a total
of $7-1/4 Million. The public hearing was to get
input from the public as to acceptance of prior-
itization (sic). Mayor O'Reilly noted there were
3 other projects endorsed by Council:
Small Boat Harbor
Culture Center
Library Addition
Mayor O'Reilly further explained, the $7 Million
is customary City improvements, the $20 Million
for the harbor, plus the library and culture center
comes to $32 Million. The planned luncheon with
the Chamber and Kenai Legislators will be changed
to a special meeting. The final proposal will be
decided for the Dec. 29 luncheon in Anchorage with
•
the Anchorage legislators.
There was no public comment.
Councilwoman Glick asked, there were public hear-
ings Dec. 16, tonight (12-17-80), and one scheduled
for Jan. 7, 1981. Does this mean the Jan. 7 one
is cancelled? City Manager Brighton explained
Jan. 7 is the final stage after the brochures are
complete. If there were changes, we could add an
addendum. We are held to the Jan. 7 hearing.
Councilwoman Glick asked, do we just need a state-
ment saying we concur with the time schedule per
the Mayor's suggestion, we will review again, but
not cancelling the time schedule of Public Works
Director Kornelis? Mayor O'Reilly replied yes.
Council agreed to the statement as submitted.
Ruby Coyle spoke. She asked if last night's
(12-16-80) comments will be included. Mayor
O'Reilly replied yes.

E. CORRESPONDENCE
Mayor O'Reilly asked that the letter from Cable
TV that was in the packet be put on the agenda
as a discussion item for the Jan. 7 meeting.
Council agreed.
F. OLD BUSINESS
• F-1 City Manager Questionnaire
Councilman Wagoner suggested, if we mail this out
to the public, they should be asked to list any
areas they feel could be improved specifically.
City Manager Brighton explained, this is just to
give an overview of the City problems. Council-
man Wagoner suggested sending a separate question-
naire at the same time. Mr. Brighton replied, this
is a separate problem. Mayor O'Reilly noted, this
is an unidentified form, this would be identifying
areas. Could we get response by areas? Mr. Brighton
explained, this would change the intent of the
questionnaire. This is a cross-section and was
designed to get a cross-section. He has added
more questions to the original questionnaire. He
asked the media to not publish the questionnaire
till it is answered to avoid bias. The City would
ask for no publicity till then. There was some
discussion on individual questions. Mr. Brighton
explained, the results will be in percentages, it
will prove we need to do work in this area of
work. Councilman Wagoner noted on number 12,
there's never been talk of 90% of funding, it has
always been 10n. That is building a negative
response.
• Council agreed to change that to 100%.

Councilwoman Glick asked if Mr. Brighton planned
to specify a deadline and enclose a self-addressed
return envelope in the questionnaire, with a cover
letter? Mr. Brighton replied yes, they hoped to
have a ten day deadline. There was more dis-
cussion on specific questions. Atty. Delahay
said #5, this Council does not have the authority
to follow up on that. This presents a question
if the public might think the City can do something
we cannot do. Mr. Brighton explained, we do not
have the authority, they can still write to their
legislators. This is just a public opinion poll.
The legality has nothing to do with it. There are
other questions that may have legal problems, but
it is important for the Council to know how they
feel.
MOTIONS
Councilman Malston moved, seconded by Councilman
Measles, to direct the Administration to proceed
with the distribution of the questionnaire with
suggested changes.
< Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote.
F-2 Homer Electric - Underground Power Lines
City Manager Brighton said he had a discussion
with Mr. Wik, of Homer Electric. He said he
would take this before the Board in January. He
was very leery of that situation, that other
cities would expect HEA to do the same thing. He
did not think the Board would go for it. Mayor
O'Reilly asked if they own the lines. Councilwoman
Glick said HEA is paying for them. Atty. Delahay
said in a few years, they will own them. Council-
woman Glick said this was referred to the Public
Works Committee I-astCity
Manager Brighton had the authority to do as he
said.
F-3 Jerry Andrews - Contract for Land Management
Proposal
Councilman Mueller asked to refrain from voting,
as he could profit from this.
Council agreed to the action.

a work session in November on this. Also, at the
2nd and 3rd work sessions, they were advertised,
it is not the fault of the Council that the Clarion
did not have a representative. KSPM did have.
MOTION:
Councilwoman Glick moved, seconded by Councilman
Hall, to postpone any action and get proposals at
large.
Councilwoman Glick continued, this was not decided
by the Clarion article, but by discussions she has
had. Councilman Wagoner said he is not in favor
of the proposal. We have not gone out to bid. We
should think about hiring our own person. The
Atty. and Admin. Assist. will still have the same
amount of work. With a City employee, there will
be more continuity in the work. Also, has there
been any research on how much work the City puts
into lands, so it could be directed to other work
if we had a land person? Mayor O'Reilly replied

G-2 Requisitions Exceeding $1,000
--
Finance Director Brown asked to add to the requi-
sitions, Vendor -William Murray, Gymnasium to Youth
Center, $1,700. Recreation Director McGillivray
explained since Mr. Murray designed the building,
i..
they felt they should deal with this man for the
gymnasium. It will be in the capital improvements
brochure. Councilwoman Glick asked, where are the
funds coming from? Finance Director Brown replied,
non -departmental professional services account.
,. Councilwoman Glick said she had an objection, are
we doing this based on Capital Improvements Projects?
Mayor O'Reilly replied yes. Councilwoman Glick
asked, isn't this far down on the list? City
Manager Brighton replied, #18. Councilwoman
Glick asked, how did we arrive at $5,000 figure?
Mr. Brighton said it is the cost of the gymnasium.
Mr. McGillivray said the additional funding was
based on the additional features added. Council-
woman Glick asked, does the total figure include
the ball fields? Mr. McGillivray replied yes.
;r
Mayor O'Reilly asked, was it also stated at the
Committee meeting that it will go to bid instead
of design-ba4a4WMr. McGillivray replied yes.
Councilwoman Glick said it may be easy to get
`r
facilities, but we should be getting facilities that
.�.��
require little or no
q personnel. The gymnasium
;;._.
will add personnel. The money from Juneau is not
for operation and maintenance. Councilman
Wagoner replied, he didn't think the gymnasium
at this time will cost us that much. Whoever is
j:
hired can oversee the gymnasium also. There would
be increased utilities and janitorial charge only.
—j
Mr. McGillivray agreed with Councilman Wagoner.
Councilman Hall asked if they had additional
revenue estimates. Mr. McGillivray replied there

is a possibility we might generate additional

tensions? Mr. Brown replied it can handle 36, we

Councilman Wagoner asked, the resolution says
Alaska Truck meets all specs, does Alaska Sales &
Service meet all specs? Mr. Brighton replied he
didn't know, and Public Works Director Kornelis
was not at the meeting. Councilman Malston asked,
is this the 2nd dump truck? Mr. Brighton replied
no, he originally asked for $60,000. He went to
bid for $50,000. It was Federal Revenue Sharing
monies. Finance Director Brown explained Mr.
Kornelis has one older one and one that is
wrecked. This is the Federal Revenue Sharing we
approved. Councilwoman Glick further explained,
there is one dump truck wrecked, Mr. Kornelis
said there was one used one he could get at
$50,000. We told him to get it, but he wasn't
able to, so we told him to get a new one for

Councilman Mueller asked, we have lower bids, do
they not meet requirements? Councilwoman Glick
replied, Public Works Director Kornelis gave them
a matrix to determine the way to go. The low
proposals were too low. Councilman Mueller noted
Mike TaurianinerA recommendation for Lawton Dr. is
lower than Wince, Corthell & Bryson is and was not
recommended for this. Councilwoman Glick replied
true, but we considered the local firm. The
acceptable bidder was more aware of problems
involved. Also these are "not to exceed" figures.
Motion passed with Councilman Mueller voting no.

amendments passed out at the meeting. He explained
•
KENAI CITY COUNCIL
DECEMBER 17, 1980
Page 18
the restrictions are necessary for Daubenspecks to
have a tax deduction. The deeds themselves are
unrestricted. We do not know the complete value
of the land as to gas & oil reserves.
MOTION, Amendment:
Councilwoman Glick moved, seconded by Councilman
Measles, to amend the motion by substituting for
adoption Resolution 80-178 as presented to
Council and amendments by the City Attorney this
date, Dec. 17, 1980.
There was no public comment.
Mayor O'Reilly noted the City is honoring the request
of Daubenspecks that sales of oil & gas revenues be
dedicated to City athletic programs.
Motion, as amended, passed unanimously by roll
call vote.
MOTION:
Councilman Measles moved that a letter be sent to
Daubenspecks expressing our thanks.
There was no second.
Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote.
Mayor O'Reilly requested Atty. Delahay follow
through with their attorney.
Councilwoman Glick asked, we are seeing that we will
dedicate the proceeds to athletic programs by res-
olution, this can be undone. Do we need something
more binding? Atty. Delahay replied, this is what
their attorneys have suggested. We are accepting
subject to this provision. If we violate, the
Daubenspecks could violate or withdraw. If another
Council tries to use it otherwise, they could come
back and withdraw or protest. Councilman Wagoner
asked, this does not prevent us from the sale.
Atty. Delahay replied, right.
G-18 Resolution 80-179 - Calling Special Election for
Citizen Support Of Small Boat Harbor
MOTION:
Councilman Mueller moved, seconded by Councilman
Malston, to approve the resolution.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL
DECEMBER 17, 1980
Page 19
Atty. Delahay explained this was placed on the
table tonight with amendments. The reason was the
election problem the Clerk brought to his atten-
tion. We could put this on the ballot with this
election, it is a charter change. The property
owner's stipulation is unconstitutional.
MOTION, Amendment:
j Councilwoman Glick moved, with concurrence of
Councilmen Mueller and Malston, to amend the
-( resolution by substituting section two as sub-
mitted this date (12-17-80) and note the last
sentence, "within the City."
There was no public comment.
Councilman Wagoner noted on proposition #3, the City
has the right to spend the money. It was voted
in 1974, here and at the State level. It was a
State bond issue, this doesn't serve a purpose.
Councilwoman Glick said she requested the reso-
lution pertaining to the harbor based on comments
of the public. Whether or not we voted in 1974,
she won't debate. Whether it is allowable or not,
the citizens should vote on it. It will be a
large project. The citizens should have the right
to vote on this. Councilwoman Glick asked Admin.
Coord. Davis, do we have the right to spend the
money? Mr. Davis replied he hadn't found out yet.
Councilwoman Glick said we are spending money we
do not have in written authority. Councilman
Wagoner said this is in the capital project
$250,000. That being the case, any engineering
contract should be put out as a ballot. We voted
over $100,000 to engineering. Councilwoman
Glick said this is the basis for the capital im-
provement project. The acquisition of land for
any capital improvement project starts with the
land. Councilman Measles asked, with #2 and #3,
what would you do if #2 was yes and #3 was no?
Also, there may be a possibility tracts B&C would
not be the correct location. Mayor O'Reilly asked
Atty. Delahay, what would be the timing on the
resolution? Atty. Delahay replied, after checking
with Clerk Whelan, we have ample time if you wish
to work on it. Councilwoman Glick said tracts
B&C may not be the site, but based on information
! t

received, it seems that they are the sites and they
are determined to use $250,000. Personally, she
thought we should wait till CH2M Hill does a feasi-
bility study. Also, this is based on contract offer
and is pending. We have till Feb. 28, 1981 to
accept or reject that proposal. Mayor O'Reilly
noted we have a work session to review the harbor
matterr if we could stay in the time frame and
discuss it at the next meeting. Councilman Wagoner
said he could guarantee you that you would have a
hard time getting it at best. It is too long. It i
should be cut down, Also, #4, "generally" is not
a specific statement. Mayor O'Reilly asked the
Council if they wished to postpone? f`
There was no reply from Council. !
Admin. Coord. Davis said in discussion with CH2M Hill
and the Harbor Commission, the feelings are there
have been problems iri presenting this to the Council,
how they came to the conclusions - the amount of
data that went to Council and will now go to the
• public.
Vice -Mayor Glick took the chair.
MOTION, To Postpone:
Mayor O'Reilly moved, seconded by Councilman
Wagoner, to postpone till the Jan. 7, 1981 meeting,
the Resolution 80-179.
t. Mayor O'Reilly said we will have a work session
with the Harbor Commission Dec. 22, 1980. The
wording in $3 can be interpreted two ways. We have
accessibility to State bond funds and can be ob-
tained administratively. That probably hasn't
} been emphasized enough. The question has been
{.; raised, granted the funds should be used for this
t purpose, but he would feel more comfortable after
?` getting with the Harbor Commission.
t{ Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote.

G-21 Cemetary Maintenance Contract - Tim
Wiesnewski
City Manager Brighton noted this has been at 2
work sessions and has not been addressed yet. The
sign says, "City of Kenai Cemetary" but there are
no records or plots. People are using it at will
without authority. Under the circumstances, this
should go before Council. The area has been
totally neglected with the exception of recent
help by the City and volunteers. Mr. Wiesnewski
1 has devoted a good amount of time and energy with-
out payment. Councilman Malston asked, have we
ever determined who owns the land? Mayor O'Reilly
said the last he heard, BLM owns it. Councilman
Malston said that doesn't mean we should not main-
tain it. Mr. Wiesnewski explained he is going by
guidelines of other cemetaries. The records are
important, but the markers are good for uniformity.
f Councilwoman Glick said there are records. Mr.
Wiesnewski replied, the center section was done in
--,
the middle 60's, he received the records from Carl
<j Glick. There are areas, however, where you don't
know who is buried there. Councilman Wagoner said
we should find out who owns the land. We should
develop, survey, etc. with the help of Mr. Wiesnewski.
It is better than it used to be. We should not
enter into a contract without ownership. Council-
woman Glick said but it is still being used during
this time. If it takes considerable time, we
1 /
should have a contract in the meantime.

1. CommonSense Alaska had a meeting in Anchorage,
Saturday (12-13-80). It is an excellent
effort, discussing what should be done with
the excess funds going to the State.
2. Dec. 10, the City Mayors, City Managers, and
Borough Mayor Thompson had a meeting. The
principle item of conversation was removal
of Planning & Zoning from the Borough. If
the City wishes to continue planning, zoning
& platting, they could do so. Mayor O'Reilly
asked if Title 29 had been researched regard-
ing government giving up powers? Also, even
if the cities set up planning powers, what
is to prevent a new Borough from taking the
powers back? How would this be financed? Do
the Borough funds flow through to the City?
He felt it would have a bad effect on economic
development. The meeting was inconclusive, he
suggested the Council wait a reasonable amount
of time for action and call a meeting of the
Mayors of the Borough area to take a course
of action.
3. There will be a special meeting Dec. 22, 1980
regarding the Capital Improvements Proposals,
with a vote at the end.
4. There will be a luncheon meeting at the Capt.

many places allow both to be holidays and
substitute a State or government holiday.

wish to take it without pay, they can do so.

PERSONS PRESENT NOT SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD
Ruby Coyle spoke. Regarding Planning & Zoning
returning to the City. At this time, what was the
opinion of the other 14ayors? Mayor O'Reilly re-
plied, the proposal raises more problems than it
solves. The Mayors were very much against it,
he could assume. Mrs. Coyle asked, does the City
have to be willing to take the responsibility?
Mayor O'Reilly replied yes. Mrs. Coyle noted the
Borough could take it back whether the City wants
them to or not. Councilman Mueller said he attended
the Finance Committee meeting in the Borough. He
z

expressed the City position, we were not against
relief, just that it should be studied. They
asked what would our reaction be on the vote, would
Council put this on real estate tax? He said he
told them he did not know, they would look at all this.
Councilwoman Glick said perhaps they should consider
deleting 1% of the Borough tax. Was this conveyed
to the Committee? Councilman Mueller said we may
have given two different programs, but they are
not in conflict. He felt we should look at the
program thoroughly before acting. He noted it was
referred to a sub -committee for further study.
Councilman Measles asked Councilman Mueller, did he
feel a sense of the Finance Committee? Have they
made up their minds already? Councilman Mueller
replied one of the committee (members) thought it
was a good idea, after receiving static, he was
willing to study it further.
Mayor O'Reilly wished all those present a Merry Christmas.

Public Hearing, Capital Improvement Projects
Present: Ray Measles, Dick Mueller, Tom Wagoner,
Vincent O'Reilly, Betty Glick
Absent: Jess Hall, Ron Malston
Also in attendance were Representatives Malone and
O'Connell. In the audience were S. Reinhardt from the
Peninsula Clarion, D. Stetler from Alaska Statebank,
G. Day from Chevron Inc., Atty. R. Baldwin, D. Morgan
from Chamber of Commerce, and City employees: E. DeForest,
G. Davis and K. McGillivray.
Mayor O'Reilly explained there would be two more hearings
regarding the Capital Improvement Project. He said the
City should have $17 Million. It may be less, but it
will still be considerable. The State income for 1980-1990
is expected to be $175 Billion. The City can only absorb
$7-8 Million without adding considerable personnel and
maintenance costs. Of the $5.2 Million from last year,
r 75% to 80% is already committed. There will be an election
Feb. 10 and a questionnaire will be sent to citizens,
these will be added to the brochure for the legislators.
City Manager Brighton explained the brochure. The Council
prioritized (sic) the list, starting at the least amount
available and adding to the list as to how much additional
funding would be available. They were now asking for the
opinion of the public. Mayor O'Reilly noted this cannot
be compared to the street projects, they will be done on
par with the large projects from other cities.
Public Works Director Kornelis reviewed the projects
listed in the brochure.
Steve Reinhardt from the Peninsula Clarion asked, if
we got all the money, how many of these could we start
right away? Mayor O'Reilly replied, probably $3 or $4
Million in 1981. City Manager Brighton said if the leg-
islature gives us what we ask, some money could be spent
on each project in 1981. Mayor O'Reilly said the small
boat harbor would not have major work started in 1981-82,
but there would be as much money used for engineering
as possible.
Atty. Rick Baldwin asked, are all the streets maintained
- and accepted by the City? Mayor O'Reilly replied, some

are that should not have been. Some of those on the list
have not been accepted by the City, but we have gone be-
yond this point. George Day, of Chevron Inc. asked, how
about the street in front of the Russian Church: Mayor
O'Reilly replied that is Church property.
Librarian DeForest discussed the library expansion. She
said the library needs additional room, the library is
used by those outside of the City as well those inside
the City equally.
City Manager Brighton explained to the Legislators:
1. we will send a report to the Legislators as
the work is done
2. This is the third public hearing, there will
y
be two more.
3. There will also be a special election and a
questionnaire.
He asked, is there something else the City can do?
_
Representative O'Connell spoke. He felt the City has
=.
done well. It is good to be flexible, you never know
r'
which way the Legislature will go. The Governor has
-

said he will support anything the communities support.

Representative Malone spoke. He asked what is the estimate
of funding the City will receive in Muni ipal Assistance?
Mayor O'Reilly replied they will go fro�last
year to $880,000. Representative Malone asked, what
form will the City take? Mayor O'Reilly replied, we
will honor the letter of intent. If it comes in an un-
interrupted stream, we would go as the program works
out. Mayor O'Reilly noted the Governor believes the
stream will continue uninterrupted. Representative
Malone asked, how is the City funding operated? City

i
Manager Brighton replied, some projects are fully funded
by grants, some have added up -front money to initiate
the project. Representative Malone said much work has
gone into this. He feels better with a priority list.
He further noted in the Dec. 29, 1980 meeting with the
{
Anchorage Legislators, we should emphasize that to a
rf
large extent, the economic health of Anchorage depends 1
!'
on the economic health of surrounding cities. It should
--;.,
be stressed it is complimentary, not competitive with
Anchorage. He also noted we should have a continuous
follow-up through the legislative session on Municipal
`-�
Assistance and other funding from tor. Brighton, Mr. _
_
Kornelis, Mayor O'Reilly and the Council.

Dick Morgan from Chamber of Commerce spoke. He noted
he has 3 hats at this meeting:
1. Recreation Commission Chairman
2. Chamber of Commerce
3. Private Citizen
j
As Recreation Commission Chairman, they are disappointed
in the change in relationship to gymnasium and parks. t
-'
He noted most money on roads, etc.,goes to Anchorage
j
contractors; building projects work goes to local con-
tractors. As a member of Chamber of Commerce, he felt
the Convention Center is a high priority item. He
suggested we have a City tax to go with Municipal 9
Assistance funding to help support this. However, the
streets are still first priority.
Mayor O'Reilly asked the two Representatives if there
was any contrast in priorities with streets and parks.
Representative Malone said he had his own ideas and pet
projects, it would be difficult if funding were pursued
on that basis. The City should set priorities.
Representative O'Connell said if the State gets into _"`"
a substitute capital improvement project, there's al-
ways a chance some of these may come in on separate
legislation and not have a priority as has listed.
o
amity
v
i Dick Stetler, Alaska Statebank, spoke. He asked the ,
Legislators what was their opinion of the $17 Million
figure Mayor O'Reilly had. Mayor O'Reilly explained,
this was from Mayor Overstreet, Juneau. This was based
on $8,000 per capita, taking 1/2 out for the permanent
fund. Representative O'Connell said he didn't think
it is going to happen. The Governor has said he will
not support any ridiculous amount. It will be estab-
lished by whatever method the economy can support.
If the Municipal Assistance Fund goes up, the special
- -�
projects will go down. It may be equal or less than
last year, we may be setting aside $3 Billion for the
court suit. He would realistically suggest an amount
equal to last year.
Representative Malone said also, we must figure what
"
are the State priorities on Statewide programs:
1. Hydrodlectric Development
"-
2. Industrial Development
a. Renewable Resources
b. Nan -Renewable Resources -
- --
3. School Funding
4. Statewide Transportation Program

Representative Malone further noted the idea of distri-
bution on a per capita basis does not work at all in cases
of areas like Kenai where most of the people live out-
side of the City. He thought the City was taking a good
approach, we are not asking for "icing on the cake."
Mayor O'Reilly said by this approach, we can balance by
local or State proposals. He emphasized he didn't want
to convey we are entitled to $17 Million, just that we
are able to received substantial amounts and we must
set priorities. We will continue to revise.
Councilwoman Glick said she thought it was important that
we have a majority of Council when these proposals are
presented. The small boat harbor is on the priority list,
but there are considerable problems. There will be a
referendum on this, the Legislators should know there
will be more work done on this.
After a short recess, the Council reconvened at the
head table.
NOTION. -
Councilwoman Glick moved, seconded by Councilman
Mueller, to change the first page of the brochure,
second paragraph, last line, to read, "of the pro-
jects listed in this brochure, with the exception
of the small boat harbor."
Councilwoman'Glick said we have talked a lot about the
small boat harbor, but we still don't know what we are
talking about. We will have a vote in February. We should
have a feasibility study prior to going to the Legisla-
ture. She also takes exception to the last sentence,
the Council has not done this on special priority projects.
We should wait till the election, then if it is affirmative,
then add an addendum. Councilman Wagoner said in the
last work session, three items were endorsed in concept,
not the building. He didn't agree with Councilwoman
Glick regarding the first statement. Council agreed
there would be no priorities listed. Council has en-
dorsed the project, but not the priorities. Council-
woman Glick said the Council has agreed on the library
expansion and the Culture Center, but they have not had
a vote on the small boat harbor.

Councilman Wagoner moved, seconded by Councilman

by Kenai City Council:"
MOTION, Change of Original Motion:
Councilwoman Glick, with approval of second -
Councilman Mueller -added to her original motion,
first page of brochure, second paragraph, last
line, to read,"of the projects listed in this bro-
chure, with the exception of the small boat harbor
which will remain pending further consideration
and affirmative action to be taken by Council in
February 1981."
Councilwoman Glick said this action relates only
to the small boat harbor. Councilman Mueller con-
firmed that this will be left in the brochure till
February, Mayor O'Reilly said yes.
MOTION, Amendment #2:
Councilman Mueller moved, seconded by Councilwoman
Glick, on section titled, Special Priority Projects,
item 1, Small Boat Harbor, last sentence; delete
the sentence starting, "The Council has by vote---"
Councilman Wagoner said if we left the capital improve-
ments items not prioritized and added a statement that
this will come to the voters in February, that might
clear the whole thing up. The project will not be en-
dorsed till the election is over. Mayor O'Reilly said
that is the position we are in. Councilman Wagoner said
this will clarify it.
Public Works Director Kornelis requested the first page,
third line, dates be changed to Dec. 16, 17 and 22.
Council agreed to the change.
Public Works Director Kornelis noted all the page numbers

Use Permit, effective January 1, 1979, and a Drilling Permit, d
- effective January 17, 1979, for the drilling of Cannery Loop Unit
#1 Well which was subsequently certified as a well capable of
producing in paying quantities, and
WHEREAS, the above -described permits were extended for one year
by the City Council on request of Union Oil Company of California
on the ground that a majority of the working interest share of
gas in said unit is bound by contractual obligations to be
delivered in kind to Pacific Lighting Gas Development Company,
which has not as yet been able to construct the Kenai Gas
Processing Plant because of difficulties in obtaining permits in
California to receive the product thereof, and .-
�- WHEREAS, construction of plans for processing the gas by Pacific =

KE3AI LOOP AREA
State of Alaska
Request for Extension for
Drilling Permit and Special
Use Permit for Cannery Loop
Unit #1 Well
Union Oil Company of California, as Operator of the Cannery Loop Unit
and in accordance with the requirements set forth by the City of Kenai
(City Code 5.35.080) respectfully requests a second one-year extension
for both our Special Use Permit, effective date January 1, 1979, and our
Drilling Permit, effective date January 17, 1979. Both Permits were
issued for the drilling of our Cannery Loop Unit #1 well which was located
on State Lease ADL-60368 and which was subsequently certified as a well
capable of producing in paying quantities. On April 16, 1980 the Kenai
City Council unanimously approved our initial application for a one-year
extension for said Permits, however there is some confusion on our part
as to the effective date of the extension since, as we mentioned, the
approval date was April 16, 1980.
Although we are continuing operations within the Cannery Loop Unit (we
plan to drill two wells in the Unit next year) our 81 well is still
shut-in due to the fact, as previously stated, that a majority of the
working interest share of gas is bound by contractual obligations to be
delivered in kind to Pacific Lighting Gas Development Company for market-
ing and as you are no doubt aware, PLGD's planned Kenai Gas Processing
Plant will not be in a position to receive and process gas in the immediate
future.
We look forward to your favorable response to this request for a second
extension and a clarification as to the effective date of said first
extension.
Very truly yours,
A.

o No significant progress during November.
Outfall
o Corresponded with City regarding need for developing necessary
permit applications; engineering contract to be amended to
provide for these services under the section Special and Other
Services.
Because of potential conflicts with the sewage treatment plant contractor,
It is imperative that the outfall contract be advertised for construction
bids in January 1981 and that the contract be awarded as soon as possible
after bid opening In early February.
The following table summarizes cost data for engineering services through
November 24, 1980. The task designations correspond with our engineer-

Dear Keiths
Res Sewage Treatment Plant Outfall
This letter confirms our earlier telephone conversation in which I notified
you that a Corps of Engineers permit application will need to be submitted
immediately to keep the outfall project on schedule.
Our Engineering Services Agreement, dated December 13, 1978, as amended
January 3 and May 19, 1980, provides that this service can be performed
under Section D.1, Special Services, for which we have no initial budget.
We have prepared an estimated cost ceiling for this service of $3,622,
which, together with the fixed fee of $578, totals $4,200. Of this amount,
the City of Kenai`s share is $325. The existing Step 3 grants from the
State and the EPA have sufficient contingency to cover these additional
costs; however, a signed copy of Amendment No. 3 should be sent to the ADEC
for review and approval.
Enclosed with this letter are the proposed Amendment No. 3 to our Agreement
and the backup calculations for this estimate. Please call me immediately
If you have any questions while processing this, as the timing of the Corps
Permit application is critical to the project schedule.
Sincerely,
as

Re: Fidalgo Subdivision Street Improvements
Status Report
Dear Mr. Kornelis:
Enclosed is Statement #4 for the construction phase of the Fidalgo
Project 8-055. I have also included a summary of the costs expended
to date as compared with the estimated budgeted amount.
Expended Man -Hours Budgeted
Description to Date Spent/Budgeted Cost
Engineering Management $10,740.00 e180 /150 $ 9,000.00
Engineering Field
Supervision 20,002.50 *571.5/900 31,500.00
Testing 1,719.30 4,650.00
Surveying 15,080.60 $27,590.00
Clericel,Drafting,Misc. $ 867.64
Total to Date $48,410.04 $72,470.00
*These man-hours are slightly over my estimated amounts, which is due to
the contractors 11 day over -run on the job completion date. This time from
October 20, 1980 through October 31, 1980 required an additional 72 man-
hours of field supervision and 20 man-hours of engineering management.
Please be advised that if the contractor does not complete this construction
In accordance with the contract time limitations and more than 900 man-hours
are necessary to provide the necessary field supervision, we will have to
request additional funds over and above the $72,740 budgeted. This is not
expected at this time, but only contractors performance next spring will
dictate the end result.
We will be providing the city with daily reports beginning again next
spring and will monitor these very closely to avoid any unnecessary
over -runs.

I am proceeding with the grade revision on Barnacle and Bidarka, and
will contact you when the plans have been revised so that presentation
to the contractor can be made for a quote on the cost differential
required.
Sincerely,
Wayne Henderson, P.E.

Kenai Cable Vision is a locally owned and operated corporation
that is proposing to construct and operate a cable television
d
system in Kenai Alaska.
i
The system that is planned will recieve its programming
primarily from two sources. An earth station will recieve
six channels from RCA Satcom I satellite. To recieve the
local Anchorage channels we will use a 50 foot tower, commercial
grade antennas and preamplifiers that produce a high quality
picture.
All of these channels will be transmitted on a cable network
throughout the downtown area of Kenai. From the main cable
drop lines will be run to the subscribers homes.
This cable system will hove a capacity of 36 channels so that
additional channels can be added as the area and system grows.
i~enai Cable Vision program offerings would include six channels
brought live via satellite to I'enai residents including,
WTPS a 24 hr. super station with special childrens programs,
a 24 hr. News station, Trinity n-roadcustinll a religious
orientated station, ESM a 24 hr. sports station, C-3I1.'.Y which
cover:. the Hause of ReprosAntatives proceedings, and Home Box
,
i

Office which offers first run movies and Top Entertainment
Stars in concert.
These stations are broadcast with no delay from the continental
USA, with out commerical interuptions. The four Anchorage
stations, KEKI, KAKM, KTVA, AND KIMO, would also be carried
over cable which means that homes that subscribe do not need
antennas or other related television equipment.
In addition to entertainment and educational opportunities,
this cable system can also provide community services. Among
these are fire and security systems, public affairs channels
and a link to a central computer that can do banking, pay
bills and provide a variety of r.V. games.
Cable Vision would be available to residents for a monthly
subscribtion fee, with a installation charge and free dis-
connect service.
Kenai Cable Vision has taken a survey of 470 Kenai residents
to ascertain the interest in this type of service. The survey
contained: a letter, explaining briefly what cable television
is, brochures of four satellite stations describing their
programs, a postcard, which asked if they were interested in
cable television, whether they would like to see a local
concern bring cable television to Kenai, and for comments.

i
E
The response to this survey was very positive with over
200 replying and only 5 negative responses, 3 of which were
moving. To have over 40 Op reply to a mail in survey is
considered excellent in the industry.
Cable television is a relatively new media that has grown at
an amazing rate in the last five years. In 1975 cable
television had 9,800,000 subscribers. Today in 1980, there
are over 16,000,000 subscribers, It is forcasted that 90%
of American homes will have acess to cable television in
1985.
We believe that cable television is the comming media and
offers exciting opportunities that will prove it to be both
a profitable and worth while investment.

This Memorandum of Agreement (MUA) is between state and federal agencies
with authority over wetlands within the City of Kenai, as outlined in
Attachment A, and the local elected governments of the City of Kenai and
Kenai Peninsula Borough.
This MOA formally commits the signatory parties to agree on a work
program, participate in the development of a wetlands management plan
for the wetlands within the City of Kenai, and to use the plan as the
basis for permit review and planning decisions, to the extent allowed by
law, including the federal guidelines adopted pursuant to section 404(b)
of the Clean 4later Act.
The project outlined in this 140A is sponsored and funded through the
Alaska Coastal Management Program, which includes the Kenai Peninsula
Borough, the City of Kenai, and the State of Alaska. Partial funding
for biological studies is provided by the U.S. Fish and 1111dlife Service.
Preamble
Wetlands are resources of local, state and national concern and have
been recognized by the U. S. Congress as possessing important ecological
and hydrological values. The U. S. Congress has mandated, through
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, that important wetland values and
functions be protected. Congress has required that federal permits be
obtained prior to discharge of dredged or fill materials in wetlandsl
and other waters of the United States.
-Z-

A high percentage of the land within the City of Kenai is wetlands and
falls under the federal jurisdiction of the Clean Water Act. There is
currently interest in development within the City of Kenai. Conflicts
over the proper management of the wetlands within the City of Kenai have
emerged.
The Alaska Coastal Management Program offers an opportunity for resolution
of conflicts and exploration of alternative ways to accommodate development ,
while preserving the important functions and values of wetlands. A
cooperative planning process, based on information on the resource
values of the City of Kenai.wetlands, and involving all interests, has
the potential to balance resource and development needs and resolve -
conflicts. A plan for management of the City of Kenai's wetlands developed
under a cooperative process could provide the following benefits:
1. greater predictability in the permitting process.
2. Shorter review periods for individual permit applications.
3. Identification of any areas within the City of Kenai where
certain kinds of development could proceed under general
permits2 if appropriate under the 404 program.
4. Accommodation and appropriate siting of the primary development
needs of the City of Kenai as demonstrated through the planning
process.

{ 5. Assurance of protection of valuable natural resources'
associated with wetlands.
i
6. Potential for local government to use the plan as the basis
f for a program of land trading to exchange publicly held de-
velopable lands for privately held lands identified as having
critical values and being not suitable for development.
I
The goals and benefits of this project are consistent with two of the j
primar
y y goals of the Alaska Coastal Management Program: protection of '
important wetlands values and functions, and resolution of conflicts -
between competing uses of the coastal zone and different layers of
government.

i
data on the Kenai wetlands. Phase Two will consist of the planning and
conflict resolution process.
Phase One: Data Collection

these determinations has to date been obtained on a case by case basis 1
i
from applicants and through agency investigations. Before agencies can ,
participate in a planning process, each agency must have a means of
obtaining basic information about the wetlands functions and values that
fall under its jurisdiction. One of the purposes of this project is to
'-obtain this needed information. An interagency working group has identi-
fied the topics for which information is needed and agreed upon work
i
plans to provide this information. Ecological, biological and hydrological
values are addressed. In addition, an assessment of the development
needs of the City is needed.
Points of Agreement: ,
1) The area included under the studies and planning process is the
1• -

_ wetlands and uplands as agreed to by the group within the corporate 1
boundaries of the City of Kenai.
2) The Alaska Department of Fish and Game agrees to carry out the work
outlined in attachment B, pertaining to use of the City of Kenai
"f
wetlands by mammals, birds, and fish, with funds provided by the
_-
Alaska Coastal Management Program (AC14P). I

of Kenai wetlands, using funds made available by the U.S. Congress.
4) The Department of Natural Resources agrees to carry out the work
i.,.: outlined in attachment D pertaining to the hydrology of the Kenai
wetlands, with funds provided by the ACMP.
5) The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, in conjunction with the Environ-
mental Protection Agency, agrees to designate the areas that fall
under its jurisdiction.

6) The five entities mentioned in points 1-5 further agree that
results of these studies will be made available to the planning
group by January 15, 1982, in a format that the group specifies.
The agencies will regularly inform the City of Kenai and the Kenai
Peninsula Borough of their activities and assist in preparing
materials needed for a public information program.
7) The state and federal parties agree that a -stater quality study
should be conducted.

Part Two: Planning Process
i
Introduction
o
The planning process to be followed by the parties to this MOA is
intended to reduce conflicts over management of the wetlands of the City
of Kenai. The process must incorporate and balance competing interests
within legal frameworks. The goal of the process is to achieve a plan
acceptable and implementable by all parties to this MOA.
—� Points of Agreement:
1) All parties agree that Kenai Wetlands Planning Group, consisting of
one representative of each party to this MOA, will be convened
within 30 days of the signing of this MOA. The group will undertake
the project outlined herein and as further defined by the group.
Each representative and an alternate shall be appointed directly by
the person who is empowered to sign this MOA.
2) All parties agree that the Planning Group will define the role of a
consultant to coordinate and mediate the planning process. The
group will undertake steps necessary to hire the consultant.
-7-

3) All parties agree to employ their discretionary powers to reach
agreement on a plan within legal and policy constraints and agree
to participate in negotiations and mediated sessions, if necessary,
to this end. Parties will primarily address areas for which they
have expertise, responsibility, and legal authority.
4) All parties agree that specific agreements in the planning process
will be made by consensus, meaning that no decision may be adopted
while any one of the parties to this MOA objects to it.
5) All parties agree that the Planning Group will complete its tasks
in a sequence and under a timetable agreeable to all parties.
6) All parties agree that the full involvement of the public, private
interest groups, and other government agencies with responsibilities
relevant to the study area will be provided for at every stage.
The Planning Group will incorporate and address as many concerns as
possible and advisable.
7) All parties acknowledge that provisions of federal regulations
provided for in Section 404(b) of the Clean Water Act will be
�applied during the planning process. These regulations require
that development in wetlands subject to the 404 program meet three
I
s.- tests. First, the need for proposed development must be demon-
strated. Second, there must be no practicable alternative to
development in wetlands. Third, there must be no significant
i adverse effect on aquatic resources.

8) The state and federal parties agree that every reasonable attempt
will be made to accommodate the development needs of the City of
Kenai as agreed to and documented by the group, within the limits
of law.
"9) The state and federal parties agree that there will be no mora-
torium on 404 permit reviews during this project.
10) All parties agree that the wetlands management plan will.provide
the basis for resource use decisions. Permit applications will be
reviewed for consistency with the plan. Those activities which are
consistent will normally be approved while those that are not
consistent would probably be denied. The plan will document when
and to what extent 404 and other permit review criteria have been
met. The parties recognize that stipulations designed to minimize
adverse impacts of projects will often be added during permit
review. The plan by itself will not provide the legal authorization
or denial of a project nor will it supersede regulatory requirements
or other legal authorities.
11) The City of Kenai and the Kenai Peninsula Borough express their
-' intention to incorporate the wetlands management plan into their
planning and zoning measures.

12) All parties agree that the wetlands management plan will include
procedures for amendment that involve all parties.
J.�
13) All parties agree that the Planning Group will undertake the tasks
included in the following list. The Group may alter the tasks,
through consensus decision.
The Planning Group will:
1) Prepare and adopt a public participation program.
2) Define the format for presentation of information on resource
values collected pursuant to this MOA.
3) Determine the criteria for identification of planning units for
the Kenai wetlands and divide the Kenai wetlands into such units as
advisable.
4) With available information, develop criteria for assessment of
the relative resource and natural values of the Kenai wetlands.
5) Classify wetlands within the City of Kenai into categories of
natural value, according to the criteria developed in step four.
6) The City of Kenai and the Kenai Peninsula Borough will identify,
through public involvement and the local decision -making process
of
the land use needs of the City of Kenai. The group will decide
which projects it believes to be water dependent, water -related, or
not water -related.
_10-
FM
7) Identify areas of the Kenai wetlands in which demonstrated
development needs can be located and areas where wetlands will be
protected.
8) Prepare recommendations for appropriate management of the Kenai
wetlands.
9) Prepare detailed recommendations for enactment of the plan by
j
the public and local state and federal agencies including how and
-- to what extent federal and state agencies wilt use it in the permit
reviews.
10) Develop mechanisms for amendment of the plan.

1. For the purposes of the Clean Water Act, wetlands are defined as
"those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or ground
water at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that
V
under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation
typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. Wetlands
.
c
generally include swamps, marshes,
bogs, and similar areas." This definition is from Title 33, Part 322(c) of the Code of Federal
i Regulations.

2. By regulation, the term general permit refers to "a Department of
the Army authorization that is issued for a category or categories
of discharges of dredged or fill material that are substantially
similar in nature and that cause only minimal individual and cumu-
lative adverse environmental impact. A general permit is issued

ATTACHMENT A
LEGAL AUTHORITIES OF PARTIES TO THE MOA QP '
The parties to the Memorandum of Agreement for the City of Kenai Wetlands '
Planning Project have specific legal authorities that are, as a minimum,
r to be addressed during the planning process.
State of Alaska
Under the provisions of the Alaska Coastal Management Act (AS 46.40.190)
and Executive Order 54, all state agencies are to make planning and
permitting decisions in accordance with the regulations of the Alaska
Coastal Management Program (6 AAC 80)
Federal Agencies -
The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires that "major federal
actions significantly affecting the quality of the human environment"
include analysis of environmental impact, alternatives, and other issues.
U. S. Army Corps of Engineers
Under Section 404(a) of the Clean Water Act (P.L. 92-500, amended by
P.L. 95-217), the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, acting in Alaska through
the District Engineer, is empowered to administer the federal program
for regulation of discharge of dredged or fill materials into waters of
the United States and their adjacent vietlands. The Corps of Engineers
(COE) is to consult with the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

in its determinations and to apply the guidelines developed by the EPA
In its decisions.
::p .
Under federal regulation (33 CFR 320 and 40 CFR 230), the COE is to
conduct a detailed review of each project and to consider many different
factors. The COE is to conduct a public interest review. The COE is
also to solicit and consider the comments of the public and of other f
agencies.
Under Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 403),
the COE administers the permit program for structures or work in or
affecting navigable waters of the United States. Under procedures
outlined in federal regulation (33 CFR 320), the COE makes determinations
on permit applications.
U. S. Environmental Protection Agency -
Environmental Protection Agency's role under section 404 of the Clean
Water Act is severalfold. First, EPA is responsible for developing the
404(b)(1) guidelines in conjunction with the Corps of Engineers.
Second, EPA is authorized to apply the guidelines and to consult with
the Corps on the outcome of their application. Third, EPA has the responsi-
bility for approving and overseeing state 404 programs. Fourth, under
either federal or state programs, the administrator may also prohibit the
specification of any wetland area as disposal site for discharge of
— - dredged of fill material. Finally, EPA has enforcement responsibilities
- applicable to 404 activities under section 309 of the Clean Air Act.
Application of the 404(b)(1) guidelines during the planning process can

expedite the 404 permit process, especially if the plan develops adequate
information on which 404 decisions can later be based. In particular,
�} if a wetlands management planning process and resultant plan evaluates
t
and identifies discharge sites for dredged or fill material, and the 404(b)(1)
".
evaluative factors were applied then the 404 permitting process should
ube
able to defer to the management plan for evaluation of alternative
disposal sites.
-�
Upon adoption of a wetlands management plan, there remains one aspect of
the 404(b)(1) guidelines which will require a case -by -case review of
y ,_
ro osed activities in the mana ement'area. Even though the
P g planning
P 9
process will identify areas where discharges of dredged or fill material
:
can occur while maintaining the balance between environmental protection
and community development, the proponent of a wetlands development
activity must demonstrate that the particular activity must be located
€
in wetlands or the water area in order to fulfill its basic purpose or
that alternatives are not available. That is, just because the planning
process identifies developable areas in wetlands, a case -by -case review
will be necessary to determine if the proposed activity can be located
'
on uplands rather than in wetlands. The purpose of this individual
}:.
reviews is to reserve the developable wetlands for those activities which
cannot be located elsewhere.

modified for any purpose : . •. under federal license or permit, such
department or agency shall first consult with the USFWS . . . with a
view to the conservation of wildlife resources by preventing loss of and
damage to such resources . . . ."
National Marine Fisheries Service
Under the federal Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, as supplemented by
the federal Reorganization Plan #4 of 1970, the National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS) is to be consulted by the COE on federal permit actions
under the same terms as USFWS. NMFS has specific responsibility for
living marine, estuarine, and anadromous resources. The Fisheries
Conservation and Management Act of 1976 may also apply.

1.0 INTRODUCTION AND JUSTIFICATION
C
This is a proposal by the Department of Fish and Game to undertake a
fwetlands habitat value identification project for the City of Kenai.
` One of the major coastal issues in Alaska today management is the n Bement of
coastal wetlands. As development pressure on wetlands in the coastal
zone continues to increase, the need for site -specific wetlands manage-
ment policies becomes more imperative. Local government and private
--- interests have a right to expect that wetlands management will occur in
a predictable and consistent manner based on clearly established policies
specific to their areas, just as State and Federal agencies have a need
to knwv the relative resource values of specific wetlands before specific
policies can be implemented. It is to this end that a wetlands habitat
value identification project will be directed.
v A long recognized value of wetlands is the production and/or maintenance
of fish and wildlife. The most well known value of the Kenai River is
its use by anadronous salmon as a spawning and nursery habitat. The
river and adjacent wetlands are particularly important to young coho and
newly emerged pink fry. Prevalent species in the Kenai River include
Chinook, sockeye, coho, and pink salmon (Gardner and Nickles, 1979).
Wetlands immediately adjacent to the lower Kenai River provide valuable
habitat for many forms of wildlife as exemplified by the approximately
15,000 lesser snow geese that use the Kenai River Fiats during their
-- spring migration to Wrangel Island, U.S.S.R. (Timm 1969, in Gardner and
flickles, 1979). Although it is known that sandhill cranes and Canada
-1-
1
1
1
- i
7
t
geese use this area for breeding and rearing young, quantitative data
has not been systenatically collected concerning their wetland habitat
use. Moose are the principal terrestrial mammals occurring near the
mouth of the Kenai River, with greatest utilization during the winter .
months. Additional species present include black and brown bear, mink,
river otter, wolverine, wolf, red fox, and caribou. Caribou were reintroduced
at Watson Lake near Sterling in 1966. A key caribou calving and summer
range is found in the wetlands directly north of the Kenai Airport.
Since reintroduction, limited data have been obtained on the caribou
that utilize this area. Wetlands habitat research to date has concentrated
on the Kenai River and wetlands immediately adjacent to the river.
Infonnation from this limited geographic area is not adequate to manage
all the wetlands within the City on a permit by -permit basis. Resource
values must be identified on an area wide basis and comprehensive management
policies must be developed for specific sites within the area if the
interests of both predictability and wetlands conservtion are to be
served.
Within this context the Department of Fish and Game proposes to undertake
a wetlands habitat value identification project which will address the
site -specific wetlands habitat values within the City of Kenai. Once
these site -specific habitat values have been identified, wetlands can
then be grouped into a classification systen based on their relative
values and their sensitivity to developmental impacts. After the
specific and relative values of these vaetland areas are identified, the
M
project will conclude with specific policy recommendations for each of ,
the wetlands classification, and where appropriate, for individual i

2.0 PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF STUDY
The purpose of this studl is to identify the habitat resource values of
the wetlands lying within the City of Kenai. Habitat resource values
will be identified for specific wetlands within the City of Kenai using
existing information, on -going USFUS Kenai River studies, and field
observations undertaken during this study. Once habitat values have
-
I
been identified for specific wetlands within the City of Kenai, these
wetland areas can be categorized according to their relative value. The
final step will be to provide management reconmendations for these ( j
wetland areas.
The study area will include all of the wetlands lying within the City of
Kenai as identified on the National wetlands Inventory Baps. Because :-
-
�" wetland's functions do not recognize municipal boundaries, wetlands -
� r
which are contained only partially within the city boundaries will be s
considered in their entirety.

5.0 TIMING
The proposed wetlands habitat value identification project for the City
of Kenai will be conducted over a fourteen month period beginning in
1980 and ending 1981. Starting date is dependent upon receipt of funds.
Collection of available wetlands habitat value information will canmence
immediately. Periodic field observations will begin as scheduled and
continue through the field season. Classification of relative wetlands
values and development of management recanmendations for these wetlands
will occur after field observations have concluded.
6.0 COORDINATION
A vital aspect of this study will be a close working relationship between
the Department of Fish and Game, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
Army Corps of Engineers, National Marine Fisheries Service, other concerned
State and Federal resource agencies, and the City of Kenai. Integration
of the results of U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service vegetation and nesting
bird surveys will be assured. Because the ultimate purpose in undertaking
this wetland habitat value identification project is the successful
development and application of a wetlands management plan for the City

Re: Kenai Wetlands Project
Dear Mr. Walsh:
Attached is an outline of the work which the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (FtJS) will fund and conduct in the Kenai area relevant to the
Kenai Wetlands Project. This will be a continuation of work which we
began this year. Our study will compliment but not overlap the Alaska
Department of Fish and Game study proposal. Our work in 1981 will con-
centrate on habitat studies throughout the Kenai River Corridor. Water -
bird density and distribution studies -will be done in the corridor outside
the Kenai city limits. Our field studies within the Kenai city limits
will be completed by December 1981.
Wetlands in the Kenai area have been mapped by our National Wetlands
Inventory Project. The map products are mylar overlays for the U.S.
Geological Survey's (USGS) 1:63,360 maps. Our maps are preliminary and
subject to change. The maps do not indicate the regulatory jurisdiction
exercised by the Corps of Engineers nor do they attempt to establish
wetland values.
Additionally, the FUS is conducting an anadromous fish study of the
mainstem Kenai River, including portions of the larger tributaries. This
study will more precisely determine salmon spawning and rearing habitat.
As part of this project, we funded a USGS hydrologic study which is
nearing completion. Field work for the fisheries investigation will be
completed in 1981. Results of this study will complement the fisheries
work proposed by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game in tributaries to
the Kenai River and in wetlands.

1.0 INTRODUCTION AND JUSTIFICATION
This is a proposal by the Department of Fish and Game to undertake a
wetlands habitat value identification project for the City of Kenai.
One of the major coastal issues in Alaska today is the management of
coastal wetlands. As development pressure on wetlands in the coastal
zone continues to increase, the need for site -specific wetlands manage-
ment policies becomes more imperative. Local government and private
interests have a right to expect that wetlands management will occur in
a predictable and consistent manner based on clearly established policies
specific to their areas, just as State and Federal agencies have a need
to know the relative resource values of specific wetlands before specific
policies can be implemented. It is to this end that a wetlands habitat
value identification project will be directed.
A long recognized value of wetlands is the production and/or maintenance
of fish and wildlife. The most well known value of the Kenai River is
its use by anadromous salmon as a spawning and nursery habitat. The
river and adjacent wetlands are particularly important to young coho and
newly emerged pink fry. Prevalent species in the Kenai River include
Chinook, sockeye, coho, and pink salmon (Gardner and Nickles, 1979).
Wetlands immediately adjacent to the lower Kenai River provide valuable
habitat for many forms of wildlife as exemplified by the approximately
15,000 lesser snow geese that use the Kenai River Flats during their
spring migration to Wrangel Island, U.S.S.R. (Timm 1969, in Gardner and
Nickles, 1979). Although it is known that sandhill cranes and Canada
-1-
r,
I..
.ter-----�+•- — �r
geese use this area for breeding and rearing young, quantitative data
has not been systematically collected concerning their wetland habitat
use. Moose are the principal terrestrial mammals occurring near the
mouth of the Kenai River, with greatest utilization during the winter
i
months. Additional species present include black and brown bear, mink,
river otter, wolverine, wolf, red fox, and caribou. Caribou were reintroduced
I
at Watson Lake near Sterling in 1966. A key caribou calving and summer
range is found in the wetlands directly north of the Kenai Airport.
Since reintroduction, limited data have been obtained on the caribou
that utilize this area. Wetlands habitat research to date has concentrated
on the Kenai River and wetlands immediately adjacent to the river.
Information from this limited geographic area is not adequate to manage
all the wetlands within the City on a permit -by -permit basis. Resource
values must be identified on an area wide basis and comprehensive management
policies must be developed for specific sites within the area if the
i
I
interests of both predictability and wetlands conservtion are to be
i
served.
Within this context the Department of Fish and Game proposes to undertake
a wetlands habitat value identification project which will address the
site -specific wetlands habitat values within the City of Kenai. Once
these site -specific habitat values have been identified, wetlands can
then be grouped into a classification system based on their relative
values and their sensitivity to developmental impacts. After the
specific and relative values of these wetland areas are identified, the
project will conclude with specific policy recommendations for each of
the wetlands classification, and where appropriate, for individual
wetlands.

2.0 PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF STUDY
The purpose of this study is to identify the habitat resource values of
the wetlands lying within the City of Kenai. Habitat resource values
will be identified for specific wetlands within the City of Kenai using
existing information, on -going USFWS Kenai River studies, and field
observations undertaken during this study. Once habitat values have
been identified for specific wetlands within the City of Kenai, these
wetland areas can be categorized according to their relative value. The
final step will be to provide management reconmendations for these
wetland areas.
The study area will include all of the wetlands lying within the City of
Kenai as identified on the National Wetlands Inventory Maps. Because
- wetland's functions do not recognize municipal boundaries, wetlands
which are contained only partially within the city boundaries will be
considered in their entirety.
3.0 03JECTIVES
This proposed study has four main objectives.
i 3.1 To collect and synthesize existing wetlands habitat information.
for the City of Kenai using all existing knowledgeable sources
i
including agency personnel and local residents.

To identify seasonal distribution and wetland habitat utilization
by caribou, ongoing telemetry studies will be supplemented by
the addition of five radio collars to animals in the wetlands
area. Herd size, distribution, wetlands use, sex and age
composition, and changes over time will be assessed by seasonal
` relocation of radio collared animals.
4.1.2. Aerial Surveys
Surveys will be flown to determine sex and age composition and
to determine seasonal movements and winter range delineation
of caribou and moose.
4.1.2.1. Seasonal range, migration corridors, calving
areas, and rutting areas will be identified. Wetlands
vegetation types utilized by caribou and moose during
different phases of the annual cycle will also be recorded.
Caribou and moose will be classified into sex and age
categories seasonally (winter, spring, summer, fall).
Emphasis will be placed on sex and age classification
during the post calving aggregation and rutting phase.
4.1.2.2. Seasonal movements, winter range delineation,
and wetland habitat usage will be monitored by routine
aerial surveys flown in a Piper Super Cub or Cessna 180,

5.0 TIMING
The proposed wetlands habitat value identification project for the City
of Kenai will be conducted over a fourteen month period beginning in
1980 and ending 1981. Starting date is dependent upon receipt of funds.
Collection of available wetlands habitat value information will commence
immediately. Periodic field observations will begin as scheduled and
continue through the field season. Classification of relative wetlands
values and development of management recommendations for these wetlands
0 will occur after field observations have concluded.
6.0 COORDINATION
A vital aspect of this study will be a close working relationship between
the Department of Fish and Game, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
Army Corps of Engineers, flational Marine Fisheries Service, other concerned
State and Federal resource agencies, and the City of Kenai. Integration
of the results of U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service vegetation and nesting
bird surveys will be assured. Because the ultimate purpose in undertaking
this wetland habitat value identification project is the successful
development and application of a wetlands management plan for the City

Re: Kenai Wetlands Project
Dear Mr. Walsh:
Attached is an outline of the work which the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (FWS) will fund and conduct in the Kenai area relevant to the
Kenai Wetlands Project. This will be a continuation of work which we
began this year. Our study will compliment but not overlap the Alaska
Department of Fish and Game study proposal. Our work in 1981 will con-
centrate on habitat studies throughout the Kenai River Corridor. Water -
bird density and distribution studies will be done in the corridor outside
the Kenai city limits. Our field studies within the Kenai city limits
will be completed by December 1981.
Wetlands in the Kenai area have been mapped by our National Wetlands
Inventory Project. The map products are mylar overlays for the U.S.
Geological Survey's (USGS) 1:63,360 maps. Our maps are preliminary and
subject to change. The maps do not indicate the regulatory jurisdiction
exercised by the Corps of Engineers nor do they attempt to establish
wetland values.
Additionally, the FWS is conducting an anadromous fish study of the
mainstem Kenai River, including portions of the larger tributaries. This
study will more precisely determine salmon spawning and rearing habitat.
As part of this project, we funded a USGS hydrologic study which is
nearing completion. Field work for the fisheries investigation will be
completed in 1981. Results of this study will complement the fisheries
work proposed by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game in tributaries to
the Kenai River and in wetlands.
Sincerely,
�-
Field Supervisor

Outline:
I. Introduction
The corridof W private land surrounding the Kenai River and extend-
r
ing from the river mouth to its outlet at Skilak Lake (see Fig. 1) is
threatened by residential and recreational development. The U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service is responsible for reviewing section 404
permit requests for developments affecting wetlands in this corridor.
Data on wetland types and waterbird utilization necessary for adequate
1
decisions on permit requests are lacking.
=•
II. Objectives
-
A. Analyze data collected during the 1980 field season and collate
J
1
information from other studies an wetland types and bird utili-
zation of the Kenai Peninsula..
B. From data collected in 1980, wetlands will be classified to
dominant vegetation types and delineated within the study corri-
dor by refining National Wetland inventory maps.
J 1
i
C. Representatives of each wetland type will be surveyed for bird
utilization during spring, surncr and fall. The degree of
sanspling for each wetland tylty will be determlited lby thu percent
�
area of each type in the corridor.
i
D. Food and habitat needs of migrating snow, Canada and white -
fronted geese will be determined an the Kenai flats during
April, 1981
III. Specific Research Proposed
A. A 1980 field season report will be prepared presenting; results
of the L'SFWS Kenai wetlands effort and Incorporating results of
other wildlife and wetland studies on the Kenai Peninsula.
j
f
I
1
i
li. WetIand typen will arc determined frr+nr data rolleeted during the
1980 field season. National Well, Inventory maps will be used
i
- r
to identify wetland areas to subelas:r level, then refined with
1980 data. Additionally, previously developed wetland schemes
i
for the Kenai wetlands will be incorporated in a description of
wetland types with clearer biological implications. Wetland
j types within the study corridor will be mapped and per cent area
" 7 i
for each type determined using 1975-1976 true -color, low-level,
q i
aerial photography.
C. Beginning in April of 1981, selected wetlands will be surveyed
to determine waterbird utilization during spring, summer and
fall. Survey techniques will vary with wetland types. Lakes
and ponds will be surveyed from the shoreline by boat. Marshes
and bogs will be surveyed on foot using plots of one -eighth
-- `� mile2. Aerial surveys will he conducted periodically. Observa-
tions of other wildlife species, particularly large mammals and
furbearers, will be recorded.
D. Weekly counts of migrating snow, Canada, and white -fronted geese
on the Kenai flats will be conducted by state and federal person-
nel during April. Locations of feeding geese will be recorded
and utilization of dliferent hnbttat typed will be dcterwtued
s,
f' from direct observation and dropping plots. Food species will
be determined from direct observation, analysis of goose droppings,
and the establishment of exclosures to prevent grazing.

January 7, 1981
SHOP ADDITION r -
This project has been completed. City of Kenai is at this time
in the process of completing the final paperwork on this project
in closing out the grant with EDA. It is a welcome addition to
our shop facility and is being used quite extensively at this
- time. This is the final report on this item since it is
considered complete. -
SEWER TREATMENT PLANT EXPANSION
This project has been shut down for the winter months. There is
a pay estimate coming before Council this next meeting since we
;. are continuing to get material an{equipment on this project.
T
` SEWER INTERCEPTOR LINE
This project has been shut down for'the winter months and there 3
has been no change since the last report.
SEWER TREATMENT PLANT OUTFALT, LINE
t
- CO2M Hill has completed the design of the Sewer Treatment Plant
i Outfall Line. Advertisement has been placed in the paper for ,
'1 bidding purposes today, January 2, 1981. Bid date for this
project is set for February 4, 1981. It is hopeful that the
successful contractor will get an early start on this project so y
there will be the least amount of conflict between the outfall
and the sewer treatment plant project p expansion project.
1990 KENAI HUNICIPAL. AIRPORT INPROVEMENTS
Air Tech, Inc., a subcontractor for the general prime contractor
Coastal, Inc., has written a letter to Wince Corthell Bryson &
Preas who are the designing engineers and inspectors on the
project stating that there will be equipment delays for a Kohler
generator set, ASCO transfer switch, and heavy duty electric 30RW
regulator. The letter states that delays go as far as April 13,
1981. Because of this and because of the asphalt pavement that
still has to be laid next year, this project may not be completed
until May or June of 1981.
FIDALGO SUBUINTSION STR TMPROV MENTS
This project has been shut down for the winter period and there
has been no change since the last report.
HENAI SPUR FRONTAGE ROAD
This project has also been shut down for the winter. There was a
meeting held on December 2, 1980, concerning Doyle Excavation and
Construction for additional payment due to large underruns on
the -excavation and backfill items of the project. Mr. Ben
Delahay gave a brief description of the discussions during that
meeting in his City Attorney's Report on December 31 1980 before
Council. There is a memo of record that was sent to Pat Doyle
concerning this meeting that is in the file. There has
been no discussion or correspondence concerning this since this
meeting.
WARM STQ AG . MILDT*Tr
Alaska Boiler & Heat Exchange Service has most of the steel
erection complete on this warm storage building. There is a pay
estimate coming before Council this next meeting. The damaged
culvert that they had installed has been repaired but has not
been back -filled.
CITY ADMINTRTRATION nu nT fia
The big hold up on this project are the windows for the building.
Electrical and plumbing subcontractors are working on the
building at this time but the contractor is afraid of turning on
the water inside the building until the building is properly
heated. I plan on starting to order some of the furniture and

fixtures that will be needed inside this building sometime next
week. If the Mayor or Council have any suggestions or comments
concerning this, please do not hesitate to contact me.
DOT/PP WILLOW STREET
There have been some problems concerning the lighting on Willow
Street. The contractor has installed a used panel for the lights
that he plans on replacing as soon as the new one becomes
available. The main problem with the project is that the lights
are sporadic,As I mentioned in my last report there is still a
considerable amount of work that needs to be done on this project
in 1981. I went through a list of items that I felt needed to be
done with the Department of Transportation official of Anchorage
the day before their final inspection. He assured me that we
would be getting copy of the punch list which would reveal
exactly what needed to be done. To date we have not received
this punch list on this final inspection which occurred over two
months ago.
KENAI YOUTH CENTER
Blazy Construction/G.S. Construction have a pay estimate coming
before Council at this next meeting for work that they have
completed on this project. This building is now completely
Qnclosed and the contractor is continuing to work.

HONORABLE I4AYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
BEN T. DELAHAY, CITY ATTORNEY
AGREEMENT OF MAYOR TO SERVE AS
CONSULTANT/REPRESENTATIVE TO ALASKA PACIFIC BANK
DECEMBER 19, 1980
The Mayor has requested that I review and comment on his proposed
agreement to serve as Consultant/Representative to Alaska Pacific
Bank,
Unlike Legal Counsel for the bank, I foresee many areas in which
conflicts of interest may arise under this contract. if the bank
itself seeks to build in this area and wishes to purchase or
lease City land, there is a direct conflict, of course. Further,
where there are prospective bank loans to parties in connection
wAth the lease or purchase of City land or to businesses which
would be seeking contracts with the City, there are indirect
conflicts of interest since favoring such leases or contracts
would indirectly affect the bank, which would be the employer of
the Mayor.
However, people who serve on our Councils and Commissions are not
required to be rich and retired, but since such positions are not
full time salaried positions, they are required normally to earn
a living, and it is not unexpected that in doing so there will
occasionally arise conflicts of interest.
In the present instance, the Mayor must remain conscious of the
possibility of such conflicts, and whenever the bank itself or
one of its patrons has contacts involving the City which might
reflect upon the business and well being of the bank, the Mayor
should announce the same to the Council and disqualify himself
from voting. Nothing further can be expected of our unpaid
public officers.

REs Senior Citizen Center
To keep you informed of what may develop. Several of
the Senior Citizens are asking that a project involving
construction of a new full Senior Center be undertaken.
What apparently is contemplated would be mini -Pioneer
Homes, providing the special services Seniors require
but avoiding the institutional atmosphere large numbers
create.
Their thinking runs in this manners
a. A Senior Center with full feeding, recreation
and crowd handling facilities
b. Senior Citizen designed housing of night units
including caretaker
The concept is not yet in full focus and has to be differ-
entiated from present programs and facilities, further
a quantified need has to be established. State capital
funding would be sought, City sponsorship anticipated.
Representative Hugh Malone has participated. The next
step is to visit Chugiak which has a project of this
type run by Municipality of Anchorage.
Please advise of any opinions or questions.
Thanks.

D. INTRODUCTION OF GUESTS
Chairman Peterkin introduced City Attorney Delahay and explained
Mr. Delahay had several meetings with Mr. Roper. Chairman
Peterkin asked him to explain what happened at those meetings.
Mr. Delahay stated the Commission may be aware that Mr. Roper's
attorney, Mr. Baldwin, made an offer to the City that was to go
before the City Council tomorrow night. Mr. Roper told him
yesterday that he and Rick Baldwin have parted company and Mr.
Baldwin wouldn't be representing him any longer. Mr. Roper said
he was withdrawing his offer. He gave ter. Delahay two reasons.
One, he has two years left on his permit to complete
construction. The best time for doing the work according to Mr.
Roper is when the ground is frozen and he can get heavy equipment
on that ground. He dosen't want to delay until after the first
of April which this option would require him to do. He also
1
ail
i
i
-J
r)
wants to raise financing to go ahead with the project and
wouldn't be able to do it with the option. He said he was ready
to sell right now to the City under the general terms that were
included. But he said $25,000 won't do anything but cause tax
complications this year. Mr. Delahay told him the City wouldn't
be interested until there were engineering tests to see if the
subsoil conditions were right for a harbor. Mr. Roper said he
didn't object to the City going on the property and at Mr.
Delahay's request he said he would give the City written consent
to go on there, without payment for the purpose of test holes and
engineering survey. He didn't want any engineering reports made
public that would destroy his chances of financing. If the
results are not favorable he wanted them to be kept secret. If
the engineering was satisfactory he didn't want to wait eight
months to see if the City could get funding for the harbor from
the Legislature. In another sentence he didn't mind waiting as
long as it was all closed at once, Mr. Delahay was not sure what
Mr, Roper would do if we got the engineering study and the study
showed this was the best place for a harbor and we offered him
$250,000 without waiting for the funding from the Legislature.
There is sane thought, if this was the spot for the harbor his
price may go up. It was Mr. Delahay's understanding the
engineering is to go out for three different locations and we
don't have any option or purchase agreement on the other two
locations, Whoever's place you select they are apt to feel it is
pretty valuable, At this point we have nothing with Mr. Roper,
Mr. Baldwin called Mr. Delahay and told him he has terminated his
association with Mr. Roper because he understood he had the
authority to make a deal along these lines and Mr. Roper pulled
the rug out from under his feet. if we want to go ahead with the
engineering we could accept his offer and get an engineering
report then if this is the prime spot then make him an offer. If
we don't get the funding this Legislative session or possibly the
next one we might not get this type of funding from the State.
If ever we build a harbor in this spot you will have to deal with
Mr. Roper at one time or another. If he does get enough of a
hole there to satisfy the Corps of Engineers for the permit and
keep making his lease payments he might be there for the rest of
his life. I believe the City Council will eventually Oave to
take action on this and will need the input of this Commission.
Mr, Davis asked if the Commission could withhold engineering
reports?
Mr. Delahay reported it is in the Supreme Court right now. It is.
2
s i
W
something that might hurt the City financially. It would be a
case for executive sessions for the reports might depend on how
the situation with the Clarion case comes out, we might have to
turn them over. There is a difference in not revealing a report
and not broadcasting it. Mr. Delahay thought any bank that is
going to lend him money is going to be sure it's feasible first.
if the City goes ahead they will at least know where to put the
harbor if they get the financing.
Mr. Delahay stated if the funds are available from that $643,000
grant to secure land, now might be the time to secure it. If you
buy another tract of land it will make a point to the Legislators
_-
that you are firm in this intent.
i
Commissioner Ackerly asked Mr. Delahay if there was a way to
-
foreclose for failure to perform?
Mr. Delahay stated at this point he felt that the City would have
a very good chance on cancelling Mr. Roper's lease on Tract 8,
'
because he agreed to begin construction within two years on a
dock and warehouse. Nothing has been done and the time expired
in July. The subsequent lease was for a small boat harbor and he
did start something that might be sufficient to show "beginning
construction." it may be questionable. Mr. Roper would have a
defense to that, in that, he says the efforts show the study to
build a harbor and State financing and COE study have destroyed
his chances of financing to the project. He may have this
defense on either lease. At this point the City would like to
have from him the assignment of the COE permits. if you do
cancel the one lease you can bet you are not going to get
anything from the other one. We can buy the property from him or
wait and miss this Legislative session or the next one.
Councilman Wagoner asked if the permits were assigned to the City
i'
would there be an extension granted?
`?
Mr. Delahay replied there were two permits. The second, on Tract
Cr overroad the time allocation on Tract H. He only has one
°_
effective permit which is on Tract C. The COE is content that
Mr. Roper is doing everything in his power in their schedule.
`
Chairman Peterkin explained the COE stated as long as Mr. Roper
has the permits and they haven't expired, there will not be any
more permits issued in the mouth of that River. Chairman
_
Peterkin thought if the permits were transferred there would be
an extension granted because it would be assigned to a
3
municipality. They would have to be realigned with what the City
has in mind, and extended. He asked Mr. Delahay if the City
desired to let Mr. Roper run to the end with the COE permits and
lose those permits, what action would the City take?
Mr. Delahay stated that would terminate anything that can be done
on the property.
Councilman wagoner mentioned he had talked to Bill Hudson and he
said there wasn't going to be any House Bill 60 if the Governor
and his people can stop it. They do want to channel money into
streets, water and sewer, and all forms of transportation.
Mr. Delahay said if Mr. Roper gets financing or a partner or
something that would service a dock that would satisfy the COE he
could keep on operating.
Councilman wagoner suggested getting hand written commitments.
Commissioner Williams addressed the engineering. He stated once
the engineering package is complete it will improve our position
in requesting extensions from the COE. It will improve our
position with DOT if necessary and it will improve our position
-" with the Legislators in asking for direct funding if that is the
way we go in this session. If Mr. Roper is willing to let the
City proceed with that project at no cost, Commissioner Williams
thought that is the route to take. It was his belief that Mr.
Roper would not be able to obtain the financing for this project.
tor. Delahay referred to the possibility of Mr. Roper taking a
partner or partners.
Commissioner Williams thought what the engineering reports are
going to do is look at planning the entire concept and it will be
beyond the scope of what he intends to borrow the money for.
Once we have assimilated the necessary engineering data and it is
on paper, if anyone attempts any improvements on that property
they can be held to contract, on stipulation that this is the way
it must be constructed. At sane time in the future, services
will be required such as roads, water and sewer, fueling, etc.
Mr. Delahay spoke on the two phases of the engineering. One
phase would be tept boring and drilling. He suggested finding
the proper area for the harbor and not go ahead with the plan on
the harbor until we get the land.

Commissioner Dragseth asked Mr. Delahay if Mr. Roper said what
price he would take right now?
Fir. Delahay thought he would take $250,000 right now.
Commissioner Dragseth stated all three sites are public owned and
the other sites may be worth more. He thought the City should
give it to him.
Commissioner Williams felt since Mr. Roper has verbally agreed to
allow us to go ahead with the engineering, he was in favor of
going ahead with the engineering right now. At this time we have
never arrived at any firm decision or working partnership with
Mr. Roper. Mr. Roper must fasten his signature to a document
guaranteeing that property and get a time period in which we have
to pay that money.
Mayor O'Reilly left approximately at this time,
Mr. Delahay stated he didn't know what authority Colonel Nunn has
reference transferring a permit, modify a permit, or changing a
site.
Commissioner Williams asked the City Attorney about Mr. Dean's
lien.
Mr. Delahay said there would be no problem there.
MOTION
Commissioner Williams moved, seconded by Commissioner Dragseth,
the Harbor Commission recommend to the City Council that they
purchase back the leases from Mr. Roper, for the sum of $250,000
and that they approve the contract as prepared by the City
Attorney to implement such purchase. The purchase of property is
to include all right, title, and interest in the leases and the
transfer of the Corps of Engineers Permits.
There was a roll call vote and the motion passed unanimously.
F'• 1. Mr. Davis reported he was asked to check with the City
Attorney on the gVestion of the Harbor Commission promoting the
harbor by printed cards, etc. He didn't see any problems with
that with the possible exception of the Alaska Public Officials
Commission's (APOC) restrictions. It is the same situation on
5
n
1 � 1

the solicitation of monies. Mr. Davis checked with the Finance
Director on the escrow account and he didn't see any problems
there because there would be options that would be under a
contractual agreement that you would purchase an option on a slip
for a specific number of dollars and specific time.
Chairman Peterkin explained the situation to Commissioner
Davidson. The intent is to show something to the Legislators.
Mr. Davis said he contacted John Tolley in response to additional
questions the Commission had about the grant money which he
indicated it could be broken down into phases. He stated he
would like something in writing.
Mr. Davis reported he can start contacting persons and groups on
the support list and bring them up to date.
Mr. Davis reported he mentioned with Mr. Delahay the discussion
with the Corps of Engineers. The Kenai Wetlands Working Group is
moving forward. There is a work session with that group
scheduled with the City Council at 6:00 on the 17th, one hour
r1 before their regular meeting. Murray Walsh will be there and the
�J participating agencies in the KWWG will be invited. The groups
that will be doing the three studies, the hydrological done by
the Division of Geological and Geophysical Survey of the State,
the water quality study which will be under contract to a
consulting firm, the proposal will be reviewed, the habitat study
which Fish and Wildlife Service and Fish and Game is doing.
Mr. Davis had a call from Loren Leman and he indicated it's too
late to do a sedimentation sampling which they had hoped to do in
association with their site selection research, due to the
weather and ice.
Chairman Peterkin asked if there hadn't been ample sedimentation
samples taken in the past. He gave the example of the 1978 Corps
of Engineers study.
Mr. Davis referred to the OCM letter written December 25 which
?•..'. was included in the packet. Since the last election there are
new members on the Alaska Coastal Management Council, which
establishes and reviews all Coastal Management programs in the
3 State and sets up.bylaws. The members of the Council are

Mr. Davis reported John Crawford, Assemblymen from Seldovia is

replacing Don Gilman as the new Borough representative. Mayor
O'Reilly is the alternate. They will be at the meeting in Juneau
on the 9th and loth, which is a special orientation meeting.
There is also room for interested parties. Mr. Davis stated he
would like to attend that meeting since in the contract he was
directed to participate and represent the City and the Borough's
Coastal Management Program. Mayor O'Reilly can only attend the
9th.
Mr. Davis reported his contract ran out last Wednesday and will
be and will be up to the Council. Since in the grant there is a
retroactive clause he would prefer to work under the terms of
that contract. If no contract is signed, Mr. Davis said he would
like to be reimbursed for work done under the terms of that
agreement instead of an additional extension of the old contract.
Commissioner Williams asked for clarification that at the present
time he was not receiving any compensation for his work? He
thought the Commission should advise City Council that an
immediate remedy to the situation needs to be forth coming.
Mr. Delahay stated the Council was made aware at the last work
session but there was nothing they could do at that time.
Mr. Davis reported he wanted to call Mark Stephens about the
contract. Under the inclusion in the contract it states we are
going to work on the small boat harbor design and construction
with the $500,000 appropriated from the State. Mr. Davis was
going to check with Mark Stephens if we have to work on them,
even if though it is an inclusion.
Commissioner Williams suggested Mr. Davis withhold the call until
after the City Council's reaction to purchase those sites.
Chairman Peterkin asked Mr. Davis to get a complete list of the
Borough, State and Federal agencies not connected with the small
boat harbor, that Mr. Davis dealt with. He wished to show the
list to the City Council,
Mr. Davis reported he is still working on the feasibility study
to submit to Dept. of Transportation to release the 1974 Bond
Monies. He is compiling quite a list of studies to show support
and public necessity. Depending on the time frame, it needs to
be completed and submitted and for tenative approval to go for
final draft from the Harbor Commission. He thought it would be
at least 30 days with alot of intensive work on it. There will
`j

r
be some need to go to subconsultants like Wince-Corthell to get
cost breakdown for sewer and water and for the engineering design
work. There will be a need for additional monies spent. He
couldn't speculate how much. He stated he would work on that and
come with a list of things that need to be completed.
Mr. Delahay spoke about the cards. He stated the Commission must
have something in the budget for printing and binding to get
cards made. If there isn't money there, a resolution from the
Finance Director can transfer funds. As long as we're not going
to bonding or doing anything of that nature, he couldn't see any
reason why that would conflict an laws, you are not trying to
influence voters.
Referring to the sale of options, first Mr. Delahay was adverse
to giving any money back to them. He felt $25.00 is little
enough. He didn't get the point the only reason you would give
it back is if the harbor didn't materialize. He wondered if
$25.00 is enough to show any real interest to the Legislators.
They are apt to think that is penny ante. He felt they should
have to exercise their option within 30-60 days after being
�-� offered a slip. $100.00 to $200.00 would show interest. It
should not be transferable under any circumstances.
Commissioner Williams said he would go along with it being
non -transferable. He was in favor of the amount being $100.00 if
it would apply towards the first year's lease. He believed Tom
Wagoner's idea of the $25.00 came about from the waiting list in
Homer where they have a $25.00 surcharge to maintain the list.
Mr. Delahay left the meeting at this time.
2. Commissioner Ackerly showed the Commission possibilities for
business cards, and they were reviewed. He mentioned it cost
$10.00 to have these done. Chairman Peterkin asked if the
Commission was ready to make a decision. The consensus was to
see more logos. There was further discussion.
3. There was discussion on alternate financing through DOT. Mr.
Davis noted he made a mistake when he indicated Mr. Tolley's
project list for 1982. It should be 1983.
Commissioner Williams thought Mr. Davis should tell him we need
-$20,000,000 at December 1980 figures with contingency for
inflation.

G. 4. Chairman Peterkin asked if the Commission should give Gary
Davis direction on the engineering to CH2M Hill?
Commissioner Ackerly suggested a special meeting.
Mr. Davis stated as far as his efforts, it was just a phone call.
The rest would be up to Mr. Delahay.
Chairman Peterkin stated the Commission would have to itemize and
identify the extent done on each item. Chairman Peterkin said he
would wait until after the City Council meeting.
Mr. Davis reiterated on the meeting with KWWG on the 17th. He
said Council has indicated alot of interest.
I
Commissioner Williams said he would not be available from the
12th through the 16th.
Commissioner Dragseth wouldn't be here.
Commissioner's Isaacs and Ackerly thought they would be able to
make it.
- With no further business, the meeting adjourned at 9:50 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,

Dear Mr. Davis:
This letter acknowledges receipt of your November 14, 1980 correspondence
regarding the Kenai Port Facilities Grant. This $643,500 allocation is
authorized within Chapter 86 SLA 1974.
As stated telephonically on 12/3/80 to Kenai City Attorney, Ben Delehay,
your proposed project appears to be in compliance with the regulations
-� governing State participation in Public Port Facilities Development (AS
30.15). Additionally, a portion of the $500,000 Municipal Grant contained
within Chapter 50/SLA 1980 (page 95 line 18), Kenai -Harbor Study and
Design (ED 13) may be used to provide the 10% local contribution for the
project.
If you wish to enter into a "purchase option" agreement for land acquisition
before actual execution of Kenai Port Facilities Grant, specific written
approval must be received from the State prior to such action. You
should provide evidence to justify the necessity for obtaining an early
"purchase option" agreement and document the immediacy of the situation.
Do not enter into any formal agreements until the State has received
this notification and granted specific approval to your request. This
will help insure that no misunderstandings develop regarding eligibility
of costs for the Kenai Port Facilities Grant.
If you have further questions or require additional information, please
contact my office. We look forward to receiving your completed feasibility
study.
Sincerely,
ohn Tolley,
Kenai Area Planner

This Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) is between state and federal agencies
-`
with authority over wetlands within the City of Kenai, as outlined in
Attachment A, and the local elected governments of the City of Kenai and
Kenai Peninsula Borough.
This MOA formally commits the signatory parties to agree on a work
;a
i
program, participate in the development of a wetlands management plan
----_---
for the wetlands within the City of Kenai, and to use the plan as the
j
basis for permit review and planning decisions, to the extent allowed by
law, including the federal guidelines adopted pursuant to section 404(b)
of the Clean Water Act.
,-
The project outlined in this MOA is sponsored and funded through the
Alaska Coastal Management Program, which includes the Kenai Peninsula
_
Borough, the City of Kenai, and the State of Alaska. Partial funding
-_
for biological studies is provided by the U.S. Fish and 41i1d1ife Service.

Preamble
Wetlands are resources of local, state and national concern and have
..'';.
been recognized by the U. S. Congress as possessing important ecological
1
.*
and hydrological values. The U. S. Congress has mandated, through
'
Section 404 of the Clean I -later Act, that important wetland values and
=
functions be protected. Congress has required that federal permits be
obtained prior to discharge of dredged or fill materials in wetlandsl f
I
�. �.
and other waters of the United States.

A high percentage of the land within the City of Kenai is wetlands and
falls under the federal jurisdiction of the Clean Water Act. There is
ON
currently interest in development within the City of Kenai. Conflicts
over the proper management of the wetlands within the City of Kenai have
emerged.
The Alaska Coastal Management Program offers an opportunity for resolution
-- of conflicts and exploration of alternative ways to accommodate development ,
while preserving the important functions and values of wetlands. A
cooperative planning process, based on information on the resource
values of the City of Kenai wetlands, and involving all interests, has
the potential to balance resource and development needs and resolve
conflicts. A plan for management of the City of Kenai's wetlands developed
under a cooperative process could provide the following benefits:
1. Greater predictability in the permitting process.
2. Shorter review periods for individual permit applications.
3. Identification of any areas within the City of Kenai where
certain kinds of development could proceed under general

//...; these determinations has to date been obtained on a case by case basis
from applicants and through agency investigations. Before agencies can
participate in a planning process, each agency must have a means of
obtaining basic information about the wetlands functions and values that
fall under its jurisdiction. One of the purposes of this project is to
'obtain this needed information. An interagency working group has identi-
fied the topics for which information is needed and agreed upon work
plans to provide this information. Ecological, biological and hydrological
values are addressed. In addition, an assessment of the development
needs of the City is needed.
Points of Agreement:
1) The area included under the studies and planning process is the
wetlands and uplands as agreed to by the group within the corporate
boundaries of the City of Kenai.
2) The Alaska Department of Fish and Game agrees to carry out the work
outlined in attachment B, pertaining to use of the City of Kenai
wetlands by mammals, birds, and fish, with funds provided by the
Alaska Coastal Management Program (ACHP).
3) The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service agrees to carry out the work
outlined in attachment C pertaining to habitat values of the City
of Kenai wetlands, using funds made available by the U.S. Congress.

Introduction
The planning process to be followed by the parties to this MOA is
intended to reduce conflicts over management of the wetlands of the City
<<
I
of Kenai. The process must incorporate and balance competing interests
within legal frameworks. The goal of the process is to achieve a plan
s
acceptable and implementable by all parties to this [IDA.

3) All parties agree to employ their discretionary powers to reach
agreement on a plan within legal and policy constraints and agree
I
to participate in negotiations and mediated sessions, if necessary,
to this end. Parties will primarily address areas for which they
have expertise, responsibility, and legal authority.
4) All parties agree that specific agreements in the planning process
will be made by consensus, meaning that no decision may be adopted
while any one of the parties to this MOA objects to it.
i 5) All parties agree that the Planning Group will complete its tasks
in a sequence and under a timetable agreeable to all parties.
b) All parties agree that the full involvement of the public, private
.
interest groups, and other government agencies with responsibilities
relevant to the study area will be provided for at every stage.
The Planning Group will incorporate and address as many concerns as
possible and advisable.

7) All parties acknowledge that provisions of federal regulations
provided for in Section 404(b) of the Clean dater Act will be
1
�4...woGt..ao
applied during the planning process. These regulations require
that development in wetlands subject to the 404 program meet three
i
tests. First, the need for proposed development must be dernon-
`-
strated. Second, there must be no practicable alternative to
-
!
development in wetlands. Third, there must be no significant .
adverse effect on aquatic resources.

the basis for resource use decisions. Permit applications will be
reviewed for consistency with the plan. Those activities which are
consistent will normally be approved while those that are not
consistent would probably be denied. The plan will document when
s f and to what extent 404 and other permit review criteria have been
met. The parties recognize that stipulations designed to minimize
adverse impacts of projects will often be added during permit
review. The plan by itself will not provide the legal authorization
i
j or denial of a project nor will it supersede regulatory requirements
or other legal authorities.

Footnotes -
1. For the purposes of the Clean Water Act, wetlands are defined as
"those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or ground
water at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that
under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation
typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. Wetlands
generally include srlamps, marshes, bogs, and similar areas." This
definition is from Title 33, Part 322(c) of the Code of Federal
Regulations.
2. By regulation, the term general permit refers to "a Department of
the Army authorization that is issued for a category or categories
of discharges of dredged or fill material that are substantially
similar in nature and that cause only minimal individual and cumu-
lative adverse environmental impact. A general permit is issued
-- following an evaluation of the proposed category of discharges in
accordance with the procedures of this regulation and a
determination that the proposed discharges will be in the public
interest . . ." This definition is found at Title 33, Part 323.2(p)
of the Code of Federal Regulations.

ATTACHIMENT A
LEGAL AUTHORITIES OF PA?TIES TO THE liOA
The parties to the Memorandum of Agreement for the City of Kenai Wetlands
Planning Project have specific legal authorities that are, as a minimum,
j to be addressed during the planning process.
State of Alaska
Under the provisions of the Alaska Coastal Management Act (AS 46.40.190)
and Executive Order 54, all state agencies are to make planning and
permitting decisions in accordance with the regulations of the Alaska
Coastal Management Program (6 AAC 80)
Federal Agencies -
The tlational Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires that "major federal
actions significantly affecting the quality of the human environment"
include analysis of environmental impact, alternatives, and other issues.
U. S. Army Corps of Engineers -
Under Section 404(a) of the Clean Eater Act (P.L. 92-500, amended by
P.L. 95-217), the U. S. Array Corps of Engineers, acting in Alaska through
the District Engineer, is en -powered to administer the federal program
for regulation of discharge of dredged or fill materials into Craters of
the United States and their adjacent wetlands. The Corps of Engineers
(COE) is to consult with the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

r
in its determinations and to apply the guidelines developed by the EPA
in its decisions.
Under federal regulation (33 CFR 320 and 40 CFR 230), the COE is to
conduct a detailed review of each project and to consider many different
factors. The COE is to conduct a public interest review. The COE is
J
also to solicit and consider the comments of the public and of other
agencies.
----
Under Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 403),
the COE administers the permit program for structures or work in or
affecting navigable waters of the United States. Under procedures
outlined in federal regulation (33 CFR 320), the COE makes determinations
'
on permit applications.
U. S. Environmental Protection Agency -
Environmental Protection Agency's role under section 404 of the Clean
Water Act is severalfold. First, EPA is responsible for developing the
r
- i
404(b)(1) guidelines in conjunction with the Corps of Engineers.
Second, EPA is authorized to apply the guidelines and to consult with
the Corps on the outcome of their application. Third, EPA has the responsi-
;_;._
bility for approving and overseeing state 404 programs. Fourth, under
."
either federal or state programs, the administrator may also prohibit the
specification of any wetland area as disposal site for discharge of
dredged of fill material. Finally, EPA has enforcement responsibilities
_ --
applicable to 404 activities under section 309 of the Clean Air Act.
Application of the 404(b)(1) guidelines during the planning process can
.n,
l
` _ir 1
expedite the 404 permit process, especially if the plan develops adequate
information on which 404 decisions can later be based. In particular,
if a wetlands management planning process and resultant plan evaluates
I j
I
and identifies discharge sites for dredged or fill material, and the 404(b)(1)
evaluative factors were applied then the 404 permitting process should
be able to defer to the management plan for evaluation of alternative
i
disposal sites.
'
Upon adoption of a wetlands management plan, there remains one aspect of
the 404(b)(1) guidelines which will require a case -by -case review of
proposed activities in the management area. Even though the planning
process will identify areas where discharges of dredged or fill material
can occur while maintaining the balance between environmental protection
j
and community development, the proponent of a wetlands development
activity must demonstrate that the particular activity must be located
�-
in wetlands or the water area in order to fulfill its basic purpose or
that alternatives are not available. That is, just because the planning
r�process
identifies developable areas in wetlands, a case -by -case review
,
will be necessary to determine if the proposed activity can be located
on uplands rather than in wetlands. The purpose of this individual
r -
reviews is to reserve the developable wetlands for those activities which
cannot be located elsewhere.

1.0 INTRODUCTIMI MD JUSTIFICArim
i1 ( This is a proposal by the Department of Fish and Game to undertake a
f wetlands habitat value identification project for the City of Kenai.
One of the major coastal issues in Alaska today is the management of
i
coastal wetlands. As development pressure on wetlands in the coastal
zone continues to increase, the need for site -specific wetlands manage-
-- -- f
ment policies becomes more imperative. Local government and private
f
- - interests have a right to expect that wetlands management will occur in
a predictable and consistent manner based on clearly established policies
specific to their areas, just as State and Federal agencies have a need
to know the relative resource values of specific wetlands before specific
policies can be implemented. It is to this end that a wetlands habitat
r Z value identification project will be directed.
A long recognized value of wetlands is the production and/or maintenance
of fish and wildlife. The most well known value of the Kenai River is
its use by anadromous salmon as a spawning and nursery habitat. The
river and adjacent wetlands are particularly important to young coho and
neerily emerged pink fry. Prevalent species in the Kenai River include
chinook, sockeye, coho, and pink salmon (Gardner and Nickles, 1979).
Wetlands immediately adjacent to the lower Kenai River provide valuable
habitat for.many forms of wildlife as exemplified by the approximately
15,000 lesser snot; geese that use the Kenai River Flats during their
spring migration to 'Wrangel Island, U.S.S.R. (Timm 1969, in Gardner and
Nickles, 1979). Although it is knot -in that sandhill cranes and Canada
-1-
0
1
geese use this area for breeding and rearing young, quantitative data ,
has not been systematically collected concerning their wetland habitat j
use. Moose are the principal terrestrial mammals occurring near the
i
mouth of the Kenai River, with greatest utilization during the winter
months. Additional species present include black and brown bear, mink,
w
river otter, wolverine, wolf, red fox, and caribou. Caribou were reintroduced
at Watson Lake near Sterling in 1966. A key caribou calving and summer
range is found in the wetlands.directly north of the Kenai Airport. �
Since reintroduction, limited data have been obtained on the caribou
that utilize this area. Wetlands habitat research to date has concentrated ! �
on the Kenai River and wetlands immediately adjacent to the river, I -•
Information from this limited geographic area is not adequate to manage
all the wetlands within the City on a permit -by -permit basis. Resource j
M
values must be identified on an area wide basis and comprehensive management
policies must be developed for specific sites within the area if the
interests of both predictability and wetlands conservtion are to be
served.
1
Within this context the Department of Fish and Game proposes to undertake
a wetlands habitat value identification project which will address the
site -specific wetlands habitat values within the City of Kenai. Once
these site -specific habitat values have been identified, wetlands can
then be grouped into a classification system based on their relative
values and their sensitivity to developmental impacts. After the
specific and relative values of these wetland areas are identified, the
project will conclude with specific policy reconr:endations for each of
the wetlands classification, and cohere appropriate, for individual
wetlands.

2.0 PURPOSE ANO SCOPE Of STUDY
The purpose of this studl is to identify the habitat resource values of
the wetlands lying within the City of Kenai. Habitat resource values
will be identified for specific wetlands within the City of Kenai using
existing information, on -going USFWS Kenai River studies, and field
observations undertaken during this study. Once habitat values have
been identified for specific wetlands within the City of Kenai, these
wetland areas can be categorized according to their relative value. The
final step will be to provide management recommendations for these
wetland areas.
The study area will include all of the wetlands lying within the City of
Kenai as identified on the National Wetlands Inventory Maps. Because
wetland's functions do not recognize municipal boundaries, wetlands
which are contained only partially within the city boundaries will be
considered in their entirety.
3.0 03JECTIVES
This proposed study has four main objectives.
3.1 To collect and synthesize existing wetlands habitat information
for the City of Kenai using all existing knowledgeable sources
including agency personnel and 16cal residents.

The proposed wetlands habitat value identification project for the City
of Kenai will be conducted over a fourteen r.onth period beginning in
1980 and ending 1981. Starting date is deren, ent upon receipt of funds.
Collection of available wetlands habitat value infon.ation will commence
immediately. Periodic field observations will begin as scheduled and
continue through the field season. Classification of relative wetlands
values and development of management reconrendations for these wetlands
will occur after field observations have concluded.
6.0 COORDINATION
A vital aspect of this study will be a close .:irking relationship between
: the Department of Fish and Game, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
Army Corps of Engineers, National Marine Fisheries Service, other concerned
State and Federal resource agencies, and the C:ty of Kenai. Integration
of the results of U.S. Fish and 'Wildlife Sarvi:e vegetation and nesting
bird surveys will be assured. Because the ult`.-aate purpose in undertaking

will continue to be one of the Department's priority concerns throughout
the duration of this project.
Also critical to the success of the project will be the availability of
hydrological information on the wetlands within the City of Kenai.
Hydrologic values as well as habitat values must be identified before
management recosmendations can be fomtulated. It is hoped that any
hydrological studies deemed necessary can also be conducted simultaneously
to facilitate the development of a wetland's management plan for the
City of Kenai.

i Re: Kenai Wetlands Project
Dear Mr. Walsh:
Attached is an outline of the work which the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (FWS) will fund and conduct in the Kenai area relevant to the
j Kenai Wetlands Project. This will be a continuation of work which we
began this year. Our study will compliment but not overlap the Alaska
Department of Fish and Game study proposal. Our work in 1981 will con-
Centrate on habitat studies throughout the Kenai River Corridor. Water -
bird density and distribution studies -will be done in the corridor outside ,
the Kenai city limits. Our field studies within the Kenai city limits
will be completed by December 1981.
Wetlands in the Kenai area have been mapped by our National Wetlands _ _
Inventory Project. The map products are mylar overlays for the U.S.
Geological Survey's (USGS) 1:63,360 maps. Our maps are preliminary and
subject to change. The maps do not indicate the regulatory jurisdiction
exercised by the Corps of Engineers nor do they attempt to establish
i wetland values.
I
Additionally, the FWS is conducting an anadromous fish study of the
[ mainstem Kenai River, including portions of the larger tributaries. This
study will more precisely determine salmon spawning and rearing habitat.
As part of this project, we funded a USGS hydrologic study which is ,
I nearing completion. Field work for the fisheries investigation will be
completed in 1981. Results of this study will complement the fisheries
work proposed by the Alaska Department of Fish and Came in tributaries to
the Kenai River and in wetlands.

This Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) is between state and federal agencies
with authority over wetlands within the City of Kenai, as outlined in
Attachment A, and the local elected governments of the City of Kenai and
Kenai Peninsula Borough.
'This MCA formally commits the signatory parties to agree on a work
program, participate in the development of a wetlands management plan
for the wetlands within the City of Kenai, and to use the plan as the
basis for permit review and planning decisions, to the extent allowed by
law, including the federal guidelines adopted pursuant to sectionr404(b)
of the Clean Water Act.
The project outlined in this MCA is sponsored and funded through the
Alaska Coastal Management Program, which'includes the Kenai Peninsula
Borough, the City of Kenai, and the State of Alaska. Partial funding
for biological studies is provided by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Preamble
Wetlands are resources of local, state and national concern and have
�i
been recognized by the U. S. Congress as possessing important ecological
i and hydrological values. The U. S. Congress has mandated, through
-- Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, that • important wetland values and
functions be protected. Congress has required that federal permits be
obtained prior to discharge of dredged or fill materials in wetlandsl
and other waters of the United States.

A high percentage of the land within the City of Kenai is wetlands and
falls under the federal jurisdiction of the Clean Water Act. There is
currently interest in development within the City of Kenai. Conflicts
over the proper management of the wetlands within the City of Kenai have
emerged.
The Alaska Coastal Management Program offers an opportunity for resolution
of conflicts and exploration of alternative ways to accommodate development .
while preserving the important functions and values of wetlands. A
cooperative planning process, based on information on the resource "
values of the City of Kenai wetlands, and involving all interests, has
the potential to balance resource and development needs and resolve
conflicts. A plafi for management of the City of Kenai's wetlands developed
under a cooperative process could provide the following benefits:
1. Greater predictability in the permitting process.
2. Shorter review periods for individual permit applications.
3. Identification of any areas within the City of Kenai where
.certain kinds of development could proceed under general
permits2 if appropriate under the 404 program.
4. Accommodation and appropriate siting of the primary development
needs of the City of Kenai as demonstrated through the planning
process.
-3-

JF
S. Assurance of protection of valuable natural resources*
associated with wetlands.
6. Potential for local government to use the plan as, the basis.
for a program of land trading to exchange publicly held de-
velopable lands for privately held lands identified as having
critical values and being not suitable for development.
The goals and benefits of this project are consistent with two of the
primary goals of the Alaska Coastal Management Program: protection of
important wetlands values and functions, and resolution of conflicts
between competing uses of the coastal zone and different layers of
governient.
The Kenai wetlands planning project will include two phases, which will
overlap in time. Phase One will involve the collection and analysis of
data on the Kenai wetlands. Phase Two will consist of the planning and
conflict resolution process.
Phase One: Data Collection

these determinations has to date been obtained on a case by case basis
from applicants and through agency investigations. Before agencies can
participate -in a planning process, each agency must have.a means -of
obtaining basic information about the wetlands functions and values that
fall under its jurisdiction. One of the purposes of this project is to
obtain this needed information. An interagency working group has identi-
fled the topics for which information is needed and agreed upon work.
plans to provide this information. Ecological, biological and hydrological
values are addressed. In addition, an assessment of the development
needs of the City is needed.
Points of Agreement:
1) The area included under the studies and planning process is the
-_- wetlands and uplands as agreed to by the group within the corporate
boundaries of the City of Kenai.
2) The Alaska Department of Fish and Game agrees to carry out the work
outlined in attachment B, pertaining to use of the City of Kenai
wetlands by mammals, birds, and fish, with funds provided by the

Part Two: Planning Process
Introduction
The planning process to be.followed by the parties to this MOA is
intended to. reduce conflicts over management of the wetlands of the, City
of Kenai. The process must incorporate and balance competing interests
within legal frameworks. The goal of the process is to achieve a plan
acceptable and implementable by all parties to this RDA.
Points of Agreement:
1) All parties agree that Kenai Wetlands Planning Group, consisting of
one representative of each party to this MOA, will be convened
within 30 days of the signing of this MOA. The group will undertake
r r'= the project outlined herein and as further defined by the group.
Each representative and an alternate shall be appointed directly by
the person who is empowered to sign this MOA.
i JLA I
2) All parties agree that.the Planning Group will define the role of a
consultant to coordinate and mediate the planning process. The
'-group wilt` -undertake'steps- rrecestary to -hire the consultant:

3) All parties agree to employ their discretionary powers to reach
agreement on a plan within legal and policy constraints and agree
to participate in negotiations and mediated sessions, if necessary,
to this end. Parties will primarily address areas for which they
y have expertise, responsibility, and legal authority.
4) All parties agree that specific agreements in the planning process
will be made by consensus, meaning that no decision may be adopted
while any one of the parties to this MOA objects to it.
5) All parties agree that the Planning Group will complete its tasks
in a sequence and under a timetable agreeable to all parties.

All parties agree that the full involvement of,the public, private
interest groups, and other government agencies with responsibilities
relevant to the study area will be provided for at every stage.
The Planning Group will incorporate and address as many concerns as
possible and advisable.
7) All parties acknowledge that provisions of federal regulations
provided for in Section 404(b) of the Clean {later Act will be
applied during the planning process. These regulations require
that development in wetlands subject to the 404 program meet three .
tests. First, the need for proposed development must be demon-
strated. Second, there must be no practicable alternative to

10) All parties agree that the wetlands management plan will provide
the basis for resource use decisions. Permit applications wrilfbe
reviewed for consistency with the plan. Those activities which are
consistent will normally be approved while those that are not
consistent would probably be denied. The plan will document when
and to what extent 404 and other permit review criteria have been
met. The parties recognize that stipulations designed to minimize
adverse impacts of projects will often be added during permit
review. The plan by itself will not provide the legal authorization
or denial of a project nor will it supersede regulatory requirements
or other legal authorities.
11) The City of Kenai and the Kenai Peninsula Borough express their
intention to incorporate the wetlands management plan into their
planning and zoning measures.

- I. For the purposes of the Clean Water Act, wetlands are defined as
"those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or ground
water at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that
under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation
- typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. Wetlands
generally include swamps, marshes, bo s and similar areas." This
definition is from Title 33, Part 322?c3 of the Code of Federal
Regulations.
2. By regulation, the term general permit refers to "a Department of
the Army authorization that is issuer fora category or categories
of discharges of dredged or fill material that are substantially
similar in nature and that cause only minimal individual and cumu-
lative adverse environmental impact. A general permit is issued
following an evaluation of the proposed category of discharges in
accordance with the procedures of this regulation ... and a
*determination that the proposed discharges will be in the public
interest . . ." This definition is found at Title 33, Part 323.2(p) .
