MEMORANDUM TO: Commission Chair Hutchison and Kenai Harbor Commission THROUGH: FROM: Jamie Heinz, Acting City Clerk DATE: September 5, 2017 SUBJECT: Commissioners wanting Paper Commission Packets At its June 2015 meeting, after being asked by the City Council to consider it, the Harbor Commission decided to receive paperless Commission packets with the condition that any Commissioner who preferred a paper packet, could request one be mailed. Since that time, all except two Commission seats have turned over. In order to serve the Commissioners better, it would be helpful for the Clerk’s Office to know who, if any, wanted paper Commission packets.
