TO: Seafood Processors
FROM:John J. Williams
Mayor
It has been brought to my attention by a couple of the local
processors that a great deal of confusion seems to exist
over the proposed meeting dealing with the seafood
industrial park.
The City of Kenai sent letters to each of the processors
regarding these meetings, yet many of the processors have
said that they have not received the letters. Therefore I
will attempt to clarify the circumstances of the meeting and
ask for your diligent cooperation in clearing this matter
up. I have also included a list of processors that have
been contacted for your review.
First of all, let me say that the issue of the cold storage
warehouse is a non -issue and the City does not plan on
involving itself in that matter at this time. As you are
aware our grant application has been turned down.
Secondly, the City does plan on involving itself in the
further development of land and utilities in connection with
the City dock facility in a manner we are referring to as
the seafood industrial park. The Governor has designated $1
Million in his capital budget for this project. The project
consists of the purchase of land, the subdividing and
creation of a seafood industrial park and the installing of
utilities to that industrial park. The purpose of the park
is to allow lands to be available for lease to anyone for
any purpose that they see fit for the advancement of
commercial enterprise, hopefully dealing with the fisheries
industry. Those enterprises may involve everything from
both storage and marine repair facilities to the addition of
secondary processing plants such as fish oil extraction, pet
food and any other facilities relative to the development of
additional commerce within the City.

The purpose of our meeting is to show support for the
creation of the seafood industrial park. I am hoping that
all of you will be able to attend the March 18 meeting and
add your input.
Once again, this meeting will take place Saturday, March 18,
1989 at 9:00 AM in the City Hall and will include in
attendance at least one member of our Legislative
delegation, a representative of the Governor's office,
members of the City Council, the Economic Development
Commission, the Harbor Commission and the Chamber of
Commerce Board of Directors.
Please plan to attend.

MEETING OF FISH PROCESSORS, COUNCIL, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
COMM., HARBOR COMM., LOCAL LEGISLATORS, REPRESENTATIVE
FROM THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE, CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND CITY
ADMINISTRATION
MARCH 18, 1989 - 9:00 AM
KENAI CITY HALL
CHAIRMAN VINCE O'REILLY PRESIDING
INTRODUCTION
Chairman O'Reilly introduced the participants.
AGENDA APPROVAL
Approved as submitted.
COMMENTS BY MAYOR
Mayor Williams. 10 years ago there was a study
relative to the harbor. It showed a need, but that it
was too costly. But there are a great number of needs
that the City should be involved in relative to the
fisheries. Therefore, we are developing a seafood
industrial park. The City has shelved the cold storage
warehouse completely. There is much opposition. A
boat repair facility, boat storage, water & sewer to
other facilities are needed. Water & sewer has been
engineered. We own the utility corridor to the dock
facility.
COMMENTS BY CHAIRMAN
Chairman O'Reilly. There was a meeting March 9 with
fisheries people and processors. This meeting is to
meet with legislators and the Governor's office people.
This is for all to present a unified proposal to the
State.
I. BRIEF OVERVIEW OF JUNEAU SITUATION - LEGISLATORS
Rep. C.E. Swackhammer. The good news is the oil price
is up. But that could be bad for the State. We have
made agreements with Administration for a $150 Million
to $200 Million cut.. It is the wisest thing we can do
considering the long term reduction from Prudhoe Bay.
$60 Million will be for Federal match for roads, water
& sewer projects. There is consideration of using
Railbelt Energy funds for other projects. There may be
a problem with using them for other than energy related
projects. We are trying to wean ourselves away from an
oil -based economy.
II. DESCRIPTION OF INDUSTRIAL PARK
Mayor Williams. We have purchased 31 acres of land
adjacent to City lands. The reason is all the rest is
wetlands and cannot. be used. This is our last wetlands
permit. It will be to increase the staging area. If
we do not acquire other lands we will not be able to
develop any further. It will go from the present
location to the highway. It will cost $450,000 to run
water & sewer down there. The roads will have to be
built, right-of-way, a cost of $300,000. It will have
to be surveyed. It. will be $1 Million total. During
the concept when we talked about a cold storage
warehouse, we anticipated $2 Million. The City pledged
$950,000 of its own money and applied for an EDA grant
of $950,000. I asked Governor Cowper for an additional
$950,000. He asked me, what would happen if the cold
FISHERIES DEVELOPMENT WORK SESSION
MARCH 18, 1989
PAGE 2
storage warehouse does not materialize. I said we
would continue with the seafood industrial park, the
cold storage warehouse was just one part of it. We
have removed ourselves from the cold storage warehouse
and are continuing with the seafood industrial park.
Chairman O'Reilly. What is the total cost? Mayor
Williams. About $1-1/2 Million - $1 Million from the
State, $1/2 Million from the City (for roads, water &
sewer, site work, etc.)
III. COMMENT BY INDUSTRY AND PUBLIC
Chairman O'Reilly noted there were 6 processors in
attendance.
a. Craig Freas, representing 2 processors - Ward Cove
(Columbia Ward) and Kenai Salmon Packers. They
received the letters last week. They could not
come, they asked me to represent them. Both
organizations are strongly opposed to development
that would subsidize any industry that currently
exists in this area, specifically processing
industries. Marine electricity, engine repair
would be acceptable. Capital costs should be
recovered by lease rates that reflect cost. The
government should not be subsidizing industry.
Water & sewer, raw land, roads - these businesses
have had to spend their own capital to develop
these, they would object to government developing
these with little or no cost.
Chairman O'Reilly. Regarding notification of this
meeting. There was a glitch in getting the mail
out, so registered letters were sent out.
b. Jim Butler. I am concerned with fishing rather
than processing.
C. Marvin Dragseth, Royal Pacific Fisheries. I am
for this as long as it does not compete with
private enterprise. We have 2 good stores in the
area now. We have had the biggest years in
history, 1987 was the largest escapement, 1988 was
the 2nd largest. We have had the coldest winter
in a long time, it will not be as good a year. We
are in for some hard times. Water & sewer in the
industrial park, if the cost is not too great - I
am for it, but not if it is too costly. The
processors are going broke. The fishing industry
is a 7 week proposition, there will never be a
bottom fish industry here. Just because you can
get free money from the government does not mean
we are not going to pay for it. It does no good
to put in businesses and have ones that are here
go broke.
Chairman O'Reilly. Do you have trouble getting
land for expansion? Mr. Dragseth - no. Chairman
O'Reilly. Do you pay for your own construction
and improvements? Mr. Dragseth - yes. Chairman
O'Reilly. Will the seafood industrial park meet
the needs for these people that have not been met?
Mr. Dragseth - no. The dock facility could use
more parking. But as for service and commercial,
we have 2 good stores now with supplies, etc. for
commercial and sport fishing.
FISHERIES DEVELOPMENT WORK SESSION
MARCH 18, 1989
PAGE 3
d. Gary Ervin, Seafoods from Alaska. We have been in
support of the seafood industrial park since it
first came up. Our goal in supporting is for
support of industry and development of secondary
processing industry. Fishing is now for 7 weeks.
Most products go out for secondary processing. We
are going into secondary processing. To attract
others into secondary processing, a seafood
industrial park is necessary. Not just for the
Cook Inlet region, but for other areas. The goal
of the seafood industrial park should be for
secondary processing. There is a Board of
Fisheries meeting in Anchorage this date. We
should be very involved with regulation of the
fisheries.
e. Scott Earsley, Inlet Salmon. We support the
seafood industrial park, but we don't want
subsidies for the new processors. There may be
too much capacity in the next few years. I am on
the Kasilof River Advisory Bd., it is a concern
with the residents of the river and government
agencies regarding discharge into the river.
Processing is polluting the river by grinding and
discharging waste. If we had to quit discharging,
Seward Fisheries could not handle the amount
discharged. I don't know what we would do with
it. We should be looking into this.
f. Mike McCune, Dragnet Fisheries. We would like to
see the City help with processors, but there
should be an outline. We need water & sewer line
on Bridge Access Rd. and down to the inlet.
Regarding property acquisition, there is no place
to fuel up now. We would like to develop a tank
farm. We could operate, the City could collect
the fees. It would be beneficial to be able to
get fuel at all times. It is major expense for
our operators to have fuel availability. We would
not like to see any fish processors on the seafood
industrial park.
Mayor Williams. The City is fueling vessels at
the new dock facility. There is a lot of concern
by EPA regarding this. It is a Coast Guard
approved marine fueling system. Council has
authorized purchase of another unit and will
expand service. These are areas the City can
handle, we have the expertise. There was a tank
farm at one time there. It is not subsidized. We
netted $67,000 last year. It will be done the
same as the airport, it operates within its own
pool. Oil rendering plants and baby food plants
are proposed.
g. Marvin Dragseth. I was at a meeting of the canned
salmon industry. There was a discussion regarding
interception of fish. 20 Million fish in one
instance, 10 Million in another, and 6-8 Million
in another. They are not getting 200 of the fish.
If it is not stopped there won't be any fish.
Southeast has not had any fish in 2 years. Cook
Inlet is using the hatchery fish. It is all going
to Japan.
Regarding the fuel facility. They are not serving
many because of the design of the facility. They
come in 200-300 at a time and cannot get service.
FISHERIES DEVELOPMENT WORK SESSION
MARCH 18, 1989
PAGE 4
It is estimated 2 Million fish from Kodiak are
intercepted but high seas interception is
important also.
h. Joe Nord, Allied Processing. We support the
seafood industrial park but ask that it be limited
so processors not be in the park or any businesses
that will be competitive with local businesses.
There is an oversupply of processors in the area.
There has been a lot of frozen processing that has
been put in recently. This storage thing will not
go away. It would only be beneficial about 6
weeks a year. Fuel for boats, boat lift, more
parking space, utilities (water line would lower
insurance) would all be good. If you lease, make
it reflect the cost. Make everything competitive.
i. Un-named Processor. There would be a $7,000 to
$9,000 fire insurance savings on our building with
a water line. Our building is steel, a wood one
would be higher.
j. Jim Bishop. I am a 12 year fisherman in the area.
The river is finite space. I hope we keep this in
mind. There is not enough room for all activity.
Considering development, we are bringing more
boats in. There is no access to marine safety,
the Coast Guard does not have funds for marine
safety program. I hope you consider that in your
proposal.
Councilwoman Monfor. I take exception to Mr.
Dragseth's statement regarding stores. We are
set-netters and cannot get our supplies. The
stores here are for drift fishermen. A seafood
industrial park with gear and electric supplies
for all fishermen, there is a need for a store.

Regarding the wetland issue, there is about 4
acres involved? Mayor Williams. The City will
fill 3-1/2 acres under already planned work.
There is no more land and we cannot find any more.
Mr. Skrha. I was not aware of any limitation.
Who is to say it is not critical? Fish & Game
used to say it is not important, now they say it
is critical for habitat. The lower part (of the
river) is very important.
IV. COMMENTS BY COMMISSIONERS
a. Barry Eldridge, Chairman, Harbor Commission.
There is a need for the City to stay involved in
what happens in the river. We have 400-600 boats
in the fisheries, as well as recreation fishermen.
We need to provide support to keep the money in
Kenai. The Coughenower report shows where the
dollars go. A lot go other places because we do
not provide support services. We are running out
of land. Service industries would rather be close
to the river. The reason for the study was to
identify ways to show the impact of fisheries on
the City by providing additional support. There
is an opportunity for secondary processing that is
not being addressed at this time. Now the
FISHERIES DEVELOPMENT WORK SESSION
MARCH 18, 1989
PAGE 5
processors get rid of it. There is a need for
development. There is still a need for a fuel
facility.
b. Stan Steadman, Borough Economic Development
District. We have an opportunity and
responsibility to review the proposals given to
the Borough. Funding from the State would be tied
to economic development and federal dollars may be
available, per Rep. Swackhammer. This was
primarily geared to secondary processing. The
State responded to the cold storage grant
application in a positive way, but the Feds did
not. Bernie Richert (Alaska EDA) thought if there
was an interest: in pursuing the industrial park,
they would be responsive. There are other
applications in the State requesting funds. If
the City wants to go forward with this, they may
want to go forward to the State or for EDA funds
with a match. There were comments in the
community regarding the original application and
extension of the fishing was picked up on. If you
decide to go forward with this in a different
format, the Coughenower report gives information
that would validate the request for the facility.
The grant should create or retain new jobs.
b. Leon Quesnel, Harbor Commission. No one has
spoken regarding the environmental problems at the
lower river mouth. Fish processors have to get
rid of effluent. and they dump it in the river.
Eventually it will have to be handled in a
different way. In the meantime I urge processors
to ask fishermen to keep the river as clean as
possible. If you pollute the river to the point
fish won't come up the river, the fish will not
come back. International law says no plastics
will be dumped into the water but have to be
brought back to land. The sand bars in the river
are growing. The Crops. of Engineers have said it
is not feasible to dredge.
V. COMMENTS
Council:
a. Mayor Williams. Regarding the application for
grant money. If the City chooses to reapply, it
will be for redevelopment of the seafood
industrial park, not the cold storage facility.
EDA has a rule that we need matching money. They
do not care where it comes from. If we can use
State funds, it is better. It can be used to
match EDA money.
b. Councilwoman Monfor. We gave processors a chance
to lease from Seafoods from Alaska. No one came
forward. Yet they are screaming at us for wanting
to make something available. I am concerned with
those that are not here all year long. We need to
be planning for the future. There are some years
with fish and some not. We should look at the
long term by using EDA funds. We will not be
raising taxes. It will be like the airport and
pay its own way. Commercial fishing is #1
industry in the City, #2 is tourism. We cannot go
any place for supplies. Canneries used to supply
fishermen, they do not now. A seafood industrial
park will be there 365 days per year. Where else

do you put a seafood industrial park but at the
river? Processors have not cooperated with the
City when we needed help with summer hires. Our
biggest problems are not the industrial park. If
we do not have State and Fed cooperation on
interception problems, there will not be fish; and
dumping of garbage in the river will kill all the
fish. It should be solved by all working together
- fishermen, processors, buyers, etc.
C. Councilwoman Swarner. Thanks to all for coming.
I am in support of economic development on the
river.
d. Councilman Measles. I am in support of the
seafood industrial park. I appreciate the
attendance this date. The only way Council can
get a good decision is to hear all sides.
e. Councilman McC:omsey. I support the seafood
industrial park and thank the people for coming
out.
f. Councilwoman O'Reilly. I support the concept.
Sometimes we have a problem with communication. I
would encourage the processors to keep closer
contact with the City and EDD. Thanks to all the
people who came and especially Ernie Piper of the
Governor's office and Rep. Swackhammer.
Public:
a. John Wise, Kenai. This project should be laid out
clearly. There are processors inside and outside
the City because of the tax difference. The City
does not stand alone, it is part of the Peninsula.
What is good for one should be good for all. We
should look at what is good for the whole area.
We should build an economic base. We have 2 major
assets here, the river and the airport. Both are
important for the City and the Borough. If not
properly developed, there would be problems. I
have asked the cost of bringing water & sewer down
Bridge Access Rd. It would cost $1-1/2 Million.
The money in the Governor's budget would not cover
this. If you put water & sewer down there, you
would open much land for development. HEA would
put power down there. The City has to put
utilities down there. It will not be in conflict
with the processors outside of the City. You
don't have to build the seafood industrial park,
private industry will do it. It will benefit not
only the City but the entire area. Stay with
short do -able project of putting water & sewer
down Bridge Access Rd. It could be done this
summer.
b. Ernie Piper, Governor's Office. I am here to
listen. We are not here to force it down
anybody's throat. 1) We do not want to compete
with private industry, and 2) We want to be sure
the community wants it. Chairman O'Reilly. There
is a want for development and they are hoping it
will be done.
VI. REMARKS BY LEGISLATORS
a. Rep. Swackhammer. It is my hope that people
remember that money is short and will be short in

the future. It will be just economic development
projects and long term effect. I will share this
with Rep. Navarre and Sen. Fischer. This project
is in the Governor's budget.
Chairman O'Reilly. There is concurrence by all
the commissions, 6-0 vote by the Council for it,
and testimony by the public - the main thrust is
positive.
Mayor Williams. Better communications by the
public and the processors is a valid request. We
have vacancies on the Economic Development Comm.
I would like to have a processor representative on
EDC.
ADJOURNMENT:
Meeting adjourned at 10:40 AM.
