Kenai, AK 99611 Re: August 1 Council Meeting- Briefing Dear Council Members: During this past legislative session, the capital budget included an appropriation to the Department of ~al Resources for $350.0 to purchase a parcel of land located several lots upstream from Cunningham Park (Tract 1, Horseshoe End at River Bend Subdivision). The legislature directed DNR to purchase these lands and construct a boat launch access facility for the lower Kenai River. In discussing this issue with the Kenai River Special Management Area Advisory Board, other resource agency staff members and interested members of the public, them were a number of concerns identified with the identified parcel. Concerns about wetland impacts and the fact that another public access facility was located so close were the predominant issues. More recently, discussions have centered uPon the block of four parcels within the Wild Rose Subdivision (Lots 3-6)that are on the market currently. These parcels are located immediately downstream from Cunningham Park. Since we are in the very beginning stages of the discussion, I thought it would be appropriate to discuss some ideas with the City of Kenai leadership before this process moves any further. During your City Council meeting on August 1, I would like to discuss with you the idea of a boat launch facility on the lands downstream from Cunningham Park. In discussing some of the pros and cons of any new access facility on the Kenai River, there are a number of issues that I think should be carefully considered. Here are a few of the issues that I'd like to discuss with you at your meeting: Is them a need for a new access facility on the lower Kenai River? How would a new access facility benefit or impact existing recreational users or nearby private property owners? July 16, 2001 Page 2 of 2 · What are the environmental impacts of a new facility, such as impacts on fish or wildlife habitat, wetland involvement, condition of the existing riverbank, etc.? * Which land manageme.nt entity is best suited to manage a new facility, and are operating funds available to ensure the site's appropriate management? I look forward to spending a few moments with you at the meeting to discuss this idea. Sincerely, Chris Degemes Kenai Area Park Supt. Cc' Ms. Linda Snow, City Manager Jim Stratton, Director, Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation Ted Wellman, President, KRSMA Advisory Board CITY OF KENAI KENAI PARKS & RECREATION 227 CAVIAR ST. KENAI, ALASKA 99611-7794 TELEPHONE 907-283-3855 ! 907-283-7926 FAX 907-283-4675 .411 ~Gty MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: DATE: Linda Snow, City Manager Robert J. Frates, Parks & Recreation Directo~ July 19, 2001 Cunningham Park I was recently informed by Chris Degernes (Department of Natural Resources) that DNR is interested in constructing a boat launch facility for the lower Kenai River. Due to a variety of identified problems, the parcel originally pursued is no longer being considered. However, DNR is now looking at four (4) lots downstream and adjacent to Cunningham Park. Furthermore, Chris stated that DNR would be interested in the purchase and construction of the proposed property and then potentially releasing the property to the City of Kenai for the maintenance and management operations. I asked Chris to draf~ a letter and forward it to yourself and the Kenai City Council. I also suggested that she appear before the City Council on August 1 in order to present an update. It would be appropriate for both the Harbor Commission and the Parks & Recreation Commission to be involved should this project move forward.

As requested, the state treasury warrant was deposited into the municipality's bank account and the deposit receipt is enclosed for your records. Also enclosed is a detailed breakdown of how your payment was determined from the Municipal Services Account. This information should be provided to the municipality's finance officer for monitoring compliance with the limitations placed on the use of these funds by state law. Generally, except as noted below, state revenue sharing funds may be spent at the municipality's discretion for any public facility or service for which the municipality has the power to expend public funds, as provided by AS 29.35 and local ordinance. Restrictions on the Use of Funds ROAD MAINTENANCE - By the end of this fiscal year, at least 20 percent of the funds received under the Road Maintenance Category must be. spent for that service to demonstrate that a minimum level of the service was provided. The remaining 80 percent of the funds may be used for other municipal services or facilities. If road maintenance (including ice road maintenance) is provided outside the municipality's boundaries, the municipality must adopt an ordinance providing for the exercise of road maintenance powers on an extraterritorial basis. Additionally, if the municipality maintains roads outside its boundaries but within an organized borough, the borough must authorize the exercise of the extraterritorial road powers. HEALTH FACILITIES - By the end of this fiscal year, at least 20 percent of the funds received under the Health Facilities Category must be used for the expenses of health services or for the operation and maintenance of health facilities. The remaining 80 percent of the funds must be dedicated for health services and/or health facilities.

Williams Mayor of Kenai Kenai Municipal Airport 305 No. Willow, Suite 200 Kenai, AK 99611 222 W. 7th Avenue, #14 Anchorage, AK 99513-7~ Phone: (907)271-5645 Fax: (907)271-5113 ED Dear Mr. Williams: Thank you for your letter dated June 8, 2001, concerning the installation of a radar system in the Kenai Air Traffic Control Tower. The information you provided is accurate. The office for Air Traffic Planning and Procedures (ATP) within the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has identified Kenai Tower as one of 45 towers across the nation to receive Digital Bright Radar Indicator Tower Equipment (DBRITE), or a similar system using more current technology. Kenai is currently number 34 on the list, based on traffic count and other criteria. You are also accurate in your statement that this project is currently un-funded. It is expected that this project will fall under the new Terminal Business Unit where it will compete with other regional projects for funding. Additionally, we will seek to have'this project ftmded locally, should resources become available. If you have additional questions or concerns, please contact Hank Williams, Planning Specialist at (907) 271-5828. Sincerely, Regional Administrator Enclosure Transmitted Correspondence City Manager's Report City Council Meeting of August 1, 2001 (A) KPB Planning Project: According to KPB Planning Director, Bob Bright, the Borough has appropriated $75K for additional development work on the West Side Recreational Use Area project and will, at some future point, request active support and' participation fi'om the City of Kenai to advance the project. As you probably know, the Borough has submitted a land entitlement request to the State for approximately 10 square miles of property located across the Inlet, about 12 miles west of Kcnai, which is planned for residential properties and recreational facilities. (B) Prism Training Center: During an introductory meeting with Prism Director, David Bumett, and Deputy Director, Randy Ernst, it was requested that we establish regular monthly meetings to help facilitate and develop the cooperative working relationship between the City and the training center. In preparation for these meetings, I will be meeting with City staff who work with Prism. I will also spend time in the next couple of weeks becoming familiar with the training center goals and objectives, its origin and history, and the lease between the City and AAI/ESI, Inc. I will certainly welcome any informational assistance that council members may be able to provide. (C) Municipal Park Improvements' You may have noticed that much of' the underbrush was recently cleared fi'om both the Bernie Huss Fitness Trail and Kcnai Municipal Park. While staff has envisioned clearing along the trails and the back boundary, we would certainly appreciate some direction from Council about how much more you would like to see us cut this year. As part of the ongoing parks improvement process, and encouraged by the Parks & Recreation Commission, Director Bob Fratcs has been working on some ideas for municipal park improvements, which might be ftmdcd by a State grant. The grant program offers 80/20 federal matching funds, the grant applications are due by 5th · . October 1 , and a Council resolution will be needed as part of the application. As you know, the old campground part of' the park has been untended to a large extent in past years, so our focus will likely be on environmental restoration of that area of' the park, and we can do some in-house concept drawings for the grant submittal. However, if awarded, it wOuld be our intention to use the funding for professional landscape architectural work in order to provide at least two or three improvement alternatives, with specifications and cost estimates, for park restoration. The in-hand alternatives will provide us with an excellent planning tool for the solicitation of public input, construction and O&M cost projections, budgeting, and project scheduling. If there is Council support to continue this effort, staff will prepare a resolution for your timely consideration at a future council meeting. (D) Conservation Easement & Viewing Platform Project: As part of continuing with negotiations started by former City Manager Rick Ross, Mr. Ross and I met recently with Department ofFish & Game Habitat Biologist, Mark Kuwada, regarding the proposed purchase of a conservation easement on City owned property near the Kenai City Dock. We also discussed the Department's willingness to establish a bird-viewing platform in the area and to provide a road access loop for the dock road. Mr. Kuwada has already submitted a proposal for the viewing platform to the Exxon Valdez Trust, which has responded with a request for documentation of community support for the project. If support is indicated for continuing with these project plans, staff will prepare a formal resolution for Council consideration at a meeting in the near future. I hope that council members will give me a call or stop by to discuss the project(s) in more detail.

These grants are given to organizations all over Alaska to prOtect and restore water quality and fish habitat. The Homer Soil and Water Conservation District to sample water quality on several lower Kenai Peninsula streams (Anchor River, Stariski, Ninilchik, Deep Creek, etc) which are heavily Used and threatened by pollution. The Kenai Watershed Forum to use state-of-the-art-sampling techniques, to collect information on water quality eSsential for protecting the Kenai River. The Youth Restoration Corps to restore damaged stream banks on Kenai Peninsula streams and purchase water quality monitoring equipment for a mobile educational trailer that will travel to schools, sport fish campgrounds, and other public events. Alaska's water quality leads the nation, but we still have many streams and lakes damaged or threatened by pollution. Alaskans depend on rivers, streams, and lakes for our recreation, our livelihoods, and our subsistence needs. At DEC, we believe that one of the best ways to assure water quality is to have the watershed users themselves take an active role in protecting and restoring the waters they rely upon. Consequently, DEC has been working with local governments and community organizations to identify, assess, protect, and clean up our most threatened waterbodies. Successful proposals are ones that are built upon a confirmed need, will produce verifiable results, involve a coalition of watershed users, and demonstrate strong community support. This year's grants are the first awarded as part of Alaska's Clean Water Actions, a new state effort to focus Alaska's resource agencies on a common set of priorities to protect and improve water quality and fish habitat. Groups and agencies like the Homer Soil and Water Conservation District, Kenai Watershed Forum, and Youth Restoration Corps are valuable partners in this mission. Grant funds may be used only for the project itself; no funds go into the basic management of the organization receiving the funds. Healthy People, Healthy Environment ~'~ printed on recycled paper The Honorable John Williams 2 July 6, 2001 We hope that you share our enthusiasm for these efforts and that you will join with us as we plan for furore projects on Alaska's waterways.

(CISPRI) carried out a successful tanker towing exercise on July 6th. The towing procedUre involved Tesoro's double hull tanker, Cape Lookout Shoals, and the CISPRI response vessel, Seabulk Montana. It was the first time either vessel has been involved in a towing exercise in Cook Inlet. The general purpose of the exercise was to practice and improve techniques used to rescue a disabled tanker in Cook Inlet. Specific goals were: 1) Gather information that can be used to improve emergency towing procedures for Tesoro chartered vessels in Cook Inlet. 2) Provide CISPRI assist vessel operators and tanker personnel practical experience in emergency towing operations with a loaded tanker. 3) Gain practical experience about assist vessel and tanker towing equipment and arrangements. 4) Practice specific techniques for tanker rescue with tow line. The exercise was carded out in the early evening under favorable conditions. Southeast of Kalgin Island, the Cape Lookout Shoals stopped its main engine and deployed its emergency towing line off the bow. The line was picked up by the crew on board the Seabulk Montana and connected to the towing wire of the response vessel. Once the connections were secured, the Seabulk Montana began towing the tanker, which was carrying 250,000 barrels of oil. The goal was to change the tanker's course in 90 degree increments, to 180 degrees. The exercise was also designed to demonstrate the Seabulk Montana's ability to tow the tanker into the current. Following approximately 15 minutes of towing, the tanker was towed back to its original heading and the lines were released. The exercise was observed by representatives from the Coast Guard and Cook Inlet RCAC. *******Tesoro Wins Legacy ********************************************* Tesoro Alaska Company was awarded the prestigious Legacy Award from the Pacific States/British Columbia Oil Spill Task Force. The award was presented to Tesoro's Supervisor for Contingency Planning, John Kwietniak, at the annual meeting of the Task Force on July 17th in Victoria, British Columbia. The Legacy Award was established to recognize and support exemplary oil spill prevention, preparedness, and response programs. Task Force Executive Coordinator Jean Cameron characterizes the Legacy winners as," .... models for others in industry, government, and the public to emulate; we are pleased to honor their commitment to oil spill prevention and preparedness, efficient spill response, and team work." Tesoro was recognized by the Task Force for bringing double-hull tankers on line; upgrading their mooring system at the KPL dock; developing steps to safely operate in extreme ice conditions; and for taking a lead role in developing Geographic Response Strategies for Cook Inlet and Prince William Sound. Cook Inlet RCAC joins the Task Force in congratulating Tesoro Alaska for a job well done. Other 2001 Legacy Award winners included: Island Tug and Barge (Vancouver, BC), the California State Lands Commission's Marine Facilities Division (Long Beach, CA), Clean Seas, LLC (Carpinteria, CA), and a team award to the Canadian Coast Guard, Marine Programs; Transport Canada Marine Safety; and the U.S. Coast Guard Marine Safety Office in Pu et Sound. *******LNG Tanker ************************************************** Several representatives from Cook Inlet RCAC were guests on board the Phillips LNG tanker, Polar Eagle, on June 26th. The tanker ride was hosted and coordinated by Phillips Petroleum Kenai Plant Superintendem Steve Arbelovsky and Marathon Oil Company's LNG Marine Operations Manager Dan Helgoth. On board the tanker during its transit from the Nikiski dock to Kachemak Bay were CIRCAC Board member June Reuling (Seldovia) and Environmental Monitoring Committee member Lani Kai Eggertsen- Goff. CIRCAC Science Coordinator Sue Saupe and Public Outreach Coordinator Joe Gallagher also went along on the trip. During the six-hour voyage, Mr. Helgoth took the group on a tour of the vessel, explaining many of the safeguards that are in place to prevent an accident. One of the features pointed out was the fact that the hull of the LNG tanker is essentially a triple-walled system and is designed to handle the ice conditions that are often found in Cook Inlet. The Polar Eagle and its' sister ship, Arctic Sun, make regular deliveries of liquefied natural gas to Japan. The round trip covers a distance of about 6,600 nautical miles and takes about 20 days to complete. The LNG fleet that works the Cook Inlet to Japan route has a perfect safety record, transporting liquefied natural gas since 1970 without an accident. *******CIRCAC Hosts Russian Delegation********************************** A group o£Russian citizens interested in learning how to safely develop oil and gas reserves spent two weeks in Alaska recently. The trip, sponsored by the California-based organization, Pacific Environment, included stops in Anchorage, Kenai, Valdez, and Fairbanks. The goal was to put the delegation in contact with industry representatives, state officials, community leaders, and citizen groups that are involved in setting up environmental standards and regulations for oil and gas production in Alaska. The Russian Far East and Siberia are currently seeing a major increase in oil and gas activity and the delegation was interested in determining what standards used in Alaska might be applicable to their region. While in Kenai, the delegation had an opportunity to tour the Tesoro Alaska refinery. Tesoro's Shawn Brown provided the group with an overview of the plant and the production process that takes place at the refinery. The delegation had several questions and spent more than an hour talking with Mr. Brown about the'environmental safeguards in place at the refinery. The group was also given a tour of the refinery and the KPL dock. Following the morning session at Tesoro, the delegation spent the afternoon at the Cook Inlet RCAC office. The group heard presentations from Cook Inlet RCAC staff, as well as from Cook Inlet Keeper Bob Shavelson and Ole Andersson of the Kenai Watershed Forum. Much of the discussion focused on how citizen groups, such as Cook Inlet RCAC, work with industry and government agencies to promote environmentally safe oil production and transportation. At the conclusion of the two-week visit to Alaska, exchange coordinator Sibyl Diver said the opportunity to have informal discussions with a variety of citizen groups, industry officials, and agency representatives was especially valuable to the Russian delegation.
