MU, Sep-30-03 01:24 From -COOPERATIVE EXTENSION SERVICE To: Kenai City Council Members Agenda for October 15, 2003 From: Kenai Community Gardeners T-362 P.02/0: Crardcners in the Kenai Community Gardcros have become aware at this will be the last season that the Cooperative Extension Seiviec will be organizingtstribution of plots and providing maintanance in the Community Gardens. As long time Pdenas we have concerns over the future of the Community Gardens. Therefore I e world like to ask City Council members what will become of the Gardens. There ale always people that come and go throughout the sunmaers yet there are a number of u4 who have utilized this wonderful opponvniry for many years and would like to be able tcontinue to do so. We are aware that with budget constraints the gardens might not be high on the list of things to do, yet the area has great potcatial. In any similar sized ' 'ty throughout the country a community gdrden space such as this would be a trees . In, Alaska it is the largest community garden that we are aware of. To lase ttus wo d be a dis-sevice to the eemmuaitY, gardeners, and fiuure gardeners. ' er In light of this information we would like to rccommcad consideration of any or all of the following. The City of Kenai would take over maintenance of the gardens including, mtotilling, mowing and weed cutting. The community gardenP'ould either pay afee for use of the garden space to help with the costs or be involvewith either the distribution of plots or maintenance of the grounds. All gardeners would still be responsible for clean up of their site and keeping the area weed free. We would like you to consider the future of the Commuaitq Gardens and realize what a positive impact it has on this community and we hope it will continue to do soo Thanking you for your time, Sincerely, .j Janicc Chumley for the Long Time Kenai Community Gardeners 15" Cooperative Extension Service Ih Kenai Peninsula DistrictUINF �- 43961 K-Beach Road, Suite A C L.I V E D UNIYERStTY OF AIASKA RMIMAWKS Soldotna, Ak 99669-9728 College of Rural Alaska (907) 262-5824 • FAX: (907) 262-3939 ..�� z003 09/ 18/03 K1 ACI Y O KENAI 'm Howard, Assistant to the City Manager D "INIS . RATION City of Kenai 210 Fidalgo Avenue Kenai, AK 99611 Dear Ms. Howard: It has come to my attention that the MOA developed for the operation and maintenance of the Warren Larson Memorial Test Site ("the project") between the City of Kenai and UAF- Cooperative Extension Service (CES) is expiring (or possibly has already expired) in the spring p g i of 2004. Unfortunately, as a result of continued UAF-CES cutbacks n personnel and funding, we can no longer afford either maintenance time or financial support for this important community project. As of May 2004, UAF-Cooperative Extension will no longer maintain or oversee the project, which includes area maintenance, land preparation, watering system maintenance and plot/refuge maintenance. Over the past 10 years I have attempted (with limited university and volunteer support) to keep up with the responsibilities of this MOA (which includes the Kenai Community Gardens). Unfortunately, it has been a downhill slide from the beginning. When the MOA was originally signed in the 1980's, university funding and support were strong and so was the commitment to the project. In the 1990's when the MOA was extended, Dr. Warren Larson had died and the interim UAF-CES representative (Sig Restad) wanted to keep things going a permanent ermanent replacement was hired. When Dan Lucas was hired in 1992, he inherited the project. When he resigned in 1993, I inherited the project. Progressively underfunded and understaffed, the project has become virtually impossible to maintain. A lot of good people have helped support the project over the years, including Abby Ala, Ole Andersen, Janice Chumley, Bob Frates, Florence Munger, Linda Swarner, Cheryl Wickstrom, Cathy Wright (Plant Materials Center) and countless others, but to even come close to attaining the potential of this project it will take much more commitment and financial support than I am capable of giving. UAF-CES would be willing to continue to coordinate the community gardener plots, which would encompass annual plot assignment and plot layout only. Otherwise, we thank the City of Kenai for the past opportunity to work with you, and in bringing the best community garden plots in the state of Alaska to the citizens of Kenai and the surrounding area! Sincerely, Thomas R. Jahns Land Resources District Agent L-1-11-1 Cooperative Extension Service • University of Alaska Fairbanks and USDA Cooperating www.uaf-edu/coop-ext EXTENSION OF MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT The City of Kenai, Alaska and the University of Alaska Cooperative Extension Service mutually agree to continue the Memorandum of Agreement dated May 24, 1984, establishing a Plant Demonstration & -Test Site. That site, now known as the "Warren Larson Memorial Test Site," consists of approximately two acres at the corner of Main Street Loop and First Street in Kenai, Alaska. This agreement shall extend the previous memorandum for a period of ten years. This extension shall expire on May 24, 20040 The Cooperative Extension Service and the City of Kenai agree to continue to perform those duties and obligations contained in the Cooperative Extension Service proposal dated April 18, 1984 and attached to the Memorandum of Agreement dated May 24, 1984. Both the Memorandum of Agreement of May 24, 1984 and the Cooperative Extension Service proposal dated April 18, 1984, are attached to this extension and incorporated by reference to this extension.

I have discussed the test site operation with Cooperative Extension Program leader, Wayne vandre and we would appreciate a renewal of agreement. The program has provided a good vehicle for testing materials for their suitability to this location and has had significant use by the community. There were seven gardens there in 1989 and there were thirteen in 1992. A ten-year renewal would allow ample time for the continuation of testing perennial materials and operating programs that require data over an extended period of time. Sincerely, S Ig Restad Temporary Land Resource Agent 262- 5824 SR:kfwr MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT The city of Kenai, Alaska and the University of Alaska Cooperative Extension Service mutually agree to establish a Plant, Demonstration & Test Site for the purpose of determining plants well adapted to the central peninsula and to encourage residents to visit the area & use its findings.

Frates, Kenai Parks &Recreation Directo0 DATE: September 24, 2003 RE: Kenai Municipal Cemetery Code — Suggested Regulation Amendments The following are some suggested amendments to the cemeteryregulations. Both h gu the Parks & Recreation Commission and Beautification Committee have reviewed the proposed amendments. The recommended changes I am proposing do not deviate much from the xi e sting regulations. However, the changes will assist in our ability to keep the cemetery looking . Y p rY ng aesthetically pleasing at all times. The amendments, if : adopted, will do the following: g 1) More clearly define cemetery regulations, particularly on how decorations and enclosures are to be regulated. 2) Slightly increase plot fees (last updated in 2000). 3) Help regulate unnecessary vehicle and other motorized traffic. Suggested regulations for the new proposed area that could be implemented at p the time development occurs are also included under B . Suggested Re lations — New gu a Proposed Area. Additionally, the current cemetery regulations are attached for review.

HeedstonWmarkere being placed in concrete. This is an added am for the familiea who are ordering monuments for their laved ones, Furthermore, concrete does not leaf with the temperature extranea as you can be soon with some of the graves already is the cemetery. In addition, notifying the Director of Parks and Rec. prior to plating headstone would only add to their agenda and that they aeed not be bothered with this. 2. Regarding flex monument requiremarts, we feel that this somewhat bits families and 8riende Rom being able to honor their loved ones. Some peoplecomefrom traditions where they have placed "largd' in so on graves of family members in order to honor the departed. In accordance with the existing monuments in the aemP teery it would not be right to allow some to place upright headstones and protubit others. 3. With the "new" section being mu„eyed soon, we would like to have same input as far as a road going thmugh this section to help with casket carrying for the pallbearers. If the cwrent road remains the same, it would be extremely Nficult for them to carry the distance that could be raqunced if no road is extended into the new section. 4. Road markers. For plowing purposes, there have been slots for flega placed on the sides of the road. These could possibly be need for some sort of markers to help set the boundaries of the road for winter driving is the canetery. This would benefit everyone and help to prevent driving on someone's grave that may be under the anew, le i r We hope that some of our concerns wiU be taken into consideration before the P of .. the new cemetery regulations.

Snow Cc: Larry Semmens From: Ewa J a n kows ka RE: New Library server Attached you will find a quote from Dynix for a Horizon circulation and cataloging system for the Kenai Community Library. At the moment our present Dynix Classic system handles 11,104 patrons, 79,276 cataloging records and over 103,000 transactions a year and those numbers are growing. As you know from our conversations and my e-mail messages, the Library's IBM RS/6000 server, which was bought in 1996, received its end of life notice for March 31, 2004 and after that date will not be supported by IBM. At the same time IBM will also stop supporting its outside tape backup unit. This backup unit was recently repaired by an IBM service technician who flew to Kenai from Anchorage, but this particular type of equipment is no longer manufactured and cannot be replaced with a new unit. Its operating system is becoming outdated as well. The RS/6000 server runs on AIX (UNIX) version 4.3.0 operating system and cannot be upgraded either to the latest AIX 5.2 or the latest Universe 10.0.14 which is required for the Dynix upgrades. Thus we have a very urgent need to replace the server equipment very soon. Last year I received a quote from Dynix, our present cataloging and circulation system vendor, for a replacement of the IBM server with a newer Dell model. This, unfortunately, would also require transferring of Dynix data from AIX (UNIX) platform into the Windows 2000 environment. The quote that I received was 20,000 dollars and this is the sum I requested in this years budget. My request was rejected. This upgrade would only offer a temporary solution to the problem because we will need to look at another product within the next few years anyway. Dynix has developed another product which is Windows based — Horizon - which they market and on which they concentrate all their product development efforts. They still offer basic support for DYNIX Classic— the program we have right now, but may not continue for very long, since it is not economically viable to support two systems. It seems prudent to replace the whole system, including hardware and software now, since their quote includes a large discount as an incentive.

Dynix is competing in Alaska with 9/30/2003 Kenai Community Library another company, Sirsi, whose system was purchased by the University of Alaska and many other public libraries. Thus we were offered a large discount to stay with the company. After quite an extensive research I would like to recommend staying with Dynix and just upgrading to their new system. We already have one component of Horizon — its web - interface, IPAC that works both with Dynix Classic and Horizon. Since both systems were created by the same company they have enough similarities to help the staff past a lot of the learning curve. I also don't feel that we have the resources to deal with the long and complicated data migration with a new company. The Library has had a long relationship with Dynix and we know that we can rely on their technical support that is not otherwise available in Kenai. They also know our records and will be able to transfer them from one OS platform to another. It is very important to the Kenai Community Library to have a reliable, web -accessible system.

We look forward to another successful year of Certified Local Government participation in the HPF program. Sincerely, Joy Bryan-Dolsby Grant Administrator TO: Kenai City Council FROM: Ricky Gease, Kenai CVB DATE: October 1, 2003 RE: Milepost Ad request In light of the financial shortfall from charitable gaming revenues, the Kenai CVB has moved to cut its advertising budget for FY 2004. I have sent along our most current budget sheet for the g Kenai CVB, which includes our budget projections for to the end of the year. We are facing a$42,000 about shortfall for this calendar year. We will not be placing ads for the city of Kenai / Kenai Visitors and Cultural Center in vacation planners, such as the Anchorage Visitors Guide and the Kenai Peninsula Tourism Marketing Councils Discovery Guide to the peninsula. In addition, the Kenai CVB has had to restructure its community marketing partner arrangement with the state marketing organization, the Alaska Travel Industry Association, at a greatly reduced rate from prior years. One area that has consistently proved beneficial to attracting independent visitors to the city of Kenai has been advertising in the Milepost. Traditionally, we have taken out a full page ad "Get ,� ip g Hooked on Kenai" the Milepost, and it is the one of the only major advertisements in the Milepost for the city of Kenai, in addition to the half page ad "Fly to the Fun Faster" that th pg Y e airport places. If a visitor is reading the Milepost, the Kenai Visitors and Cultural Center is one of the main draws for them to come to Kenai and it is featured prominently in the full page ad. p Y pg At this time, we are faced with the decision to reduce to the Milepost ad from a full page to a half page, and we will have to rework the ad as such. Currently the full page ad has been very effective in steering in road traffic to Kenai (it's the most frequent way visitors say Y the have found us in our visitor comment book) and it also is good at driving traffic to the visitkenai.com website for pre -trip planning. The full page rate will be about $5,500 when the ad and layout costs are calculated, and the half page rate would be about $3,000. The Kenai CVB board approved $3,000 to go towards a reduced half page ad. At our last board meeting on Monday, September 29, the board approved that I make a request to the Kenai City Council to see if it would cover the cost balance between the half page and full page ad in the Milepost, which would be approximately $2,500. Of all our advertisements, the Milepost has been the best in delivering traffic to Kenai. A full page ad will maintain high visibility for the city of Kenai in the premier vacation planner for the state of Alaska. The Kenai CVB does not have the funds to maintain a full page ad, but would be a willing partner with the city of Kenai. Our deadline for consideration is November 7, 2003. Thank you for your time and consideration to this matter. E C O ti CD �!' O O O O O N O CD e!' CD tom- C O CA N t` O N (� CA '� r- !t C Q• ©'�?'

Frates, Parks &Recreation Director DATE: 10-9-03 RE: Monthly Report — September The Parks & Recreation Department spent much of the month of September completing p p g post -season maintenance. The final mowing of turf areas were completed, water turned off, closed certain bathrooms, wrapped trees, cleaned out some flower beds and conducted end of season park inspections. A considerable amount of time was spent storing equipment and cleaning up the City Yard and well as getting the Multi -Purpose .. g rp Facility ready for the ice season. Micah has spent a fair amount of time going through pole decorations and performing g necessary preparations, i.e., changing out lights. Additionally, considerable time was spent removing trees and brush at the Multi -Purpose Facility and Municipal Park. The Kenai Rotary Club assisted with the stock piling of most of the brush on Oct. 4th. We have been in contact with Integrity Surveys on a surveying project at the Kenai p Cemetery. Two sections of the cemetery are needing surveyed to allow for further expansion within the present boundaries. The current cemetery regulations were also reviewed for possible amendments. The Director spent some time investigating the sale of advertisements at MPF. It was decided that a Special Use Permit allowing a community group to sell ads with a percentage retained by the City was appropriate. The Director also spent time speaking p p g with Mr. Dave Feeken-and Dick Morgan regarding winter ski trails at the Kenai Golf Course. Many of the Ice Agreement forms previously sent out were returned and organizations started kin refrigerated ice this season g booking ice. It does not appear that Homer will have thus, Homer will be utilizing our rink again this season. October bookings to date are pretty solid. Senior Center's September Monthly Report to Linda Snow Our Center continues to be active and seniors use the facility daily. Total number of days open: 22 We were rented 4 days this month. # Congregate Meals Served: 1251 # Home Meals Served: 1008 # of assisted rides: 225 # of unassisted ride: 157 Total volunteer hours for July was 850 hours. We are continuing to see quite a few new faces at the Senior Center. In addition to the social aspects, the Senior Center has become a vital resource for seniors and provides information and assistance for a wide variety of senior related issues. Medicare, insurance help, prescription drug coverage, housing, Medicaid, Social Security, debt and bankruptcy have been the "hot topics" of the month. We are hearing again and again how vital this service is to our community and a tremendous overall appreciation for the City of Kenai and how it promotes the well being of it's senior population. On September 9, we hosted an open meeting with Marilyn Stewart from Governor Murkowski's office as well as Tony Lombardo, the Director of Public Assistance. The new Senior Assistance Program was highlighted and the meeting was well attended by the senior population and other agencies directly affected by this program. Wednesday, September 24, our Senior Connection board hosted the Area Wide Senior Board Dinner. Senior center board's from Homer to Sterling were represented. Mayor Williams gave a presentation and several City Council members, City Clerk Carol Freas, and Assemblywoman Betty Glick were on hand as well. We had 2 vans journey to Hope for a dinner out and a tour of the fall colors. Page 1 of 1 l Linda Snow From: Ewa Jankowska Sent: Thursday, October 09, 2003 10:25 AM To: Linda Snow Cc: Kim Howard Subject: Kenai Community Library - September 2003 Report We are happy to report a steady growth in our circulation numbers - in September we checked out 9141 items which is a 5.7% jump from September 2002. We also notice that more library patrons use the library online catalog from their home computers - they look for books, renew and put holds on library materials and check the bestsellers' list. Last month two of the Library's staff members participated in training fully funded by the State Library and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Corey Hall spent a week at the Noel Wien Library of the Fairbanks North Star Borough to observe and exchange ideas at their children's department. That library has 6 staff members who work solely with children. Corey also spent one day at the North Pole Branch of the Fairbanks library system. After coming back she added two new programs for children: once a month evening story time and a family story time with scary stories and crafts - The Monster Factory , for Halloween! Corey reports: "I am very glad I got the chance to see the programs and meet other Youth Services Librarians in Fairbanks, but I am also glad I am part of a smaller library. It helped to reaffirm what I do in my library, and I feel good about my program plans" Julie Niederhauser who is already teaching a beginning Internet class at the Library, went to the "Train the trainer" class offered by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in Anchorage. The workshop provided her with an opportunity to review lesson plan design (specifically geared towards teaching Microsoft computer applications and Internet training), and teaching strategies to keep in mind when working with adults and seniors. During the workshop, Julie worked on a lesson plan geared towards home schoolers who may not have access to computers at home. Her long-term goals are to create a link from our Library Homepage to a webpage dedicated to computer training, that would have a training calendar, description of classes, and training curriculum. Despite budget cuts we are trying to offer the best service we can to our patrons. Soon, however. they will see a big difference in the number of new books, newspapers and magazines on the Library's shelves. We are so very grateful to our patrons who offered to pay for some of our periodical subscriptions.

Kenai Police Department Memo To: Linda Snow, City Manager From: Chuck Kopp, Chief of Police Date: October 9, 2003 Re: September 2003 Report The Kenai Police Department responded to 578 calls for service. The Communications Center received one hundred ninety nine 9-1-1 calls for emergency assistance. The department continues to work with the Alaska Highway Safety Office sponsored overtime grants for traffic enforcement on weekends and holidays. This allows officers to be present on the roadways and have a meaningful impact on the safety of our commuting public. 363 traffic enforcement contacts were made, resulting in 122 speeding citations, 66 other moving violations (fail to stop, fail to yield, improper lane change, passing in a no pass zone, etc.), 10 equipment violations, 8 seatbelt citations, and 18 misdemeanor arrests (DWI, Driving Without A License, Driving With Revoked License, and Fail to Insure Vehicle). The department responded to 14 motor vehicle crashes, 2 of which resulted in injured vehicle occupants. Most of the crashes were moose related. Officers George, Langseth and Louthan are actively involved with drug abuse prevention programs in Kenai schools. The D.A.R.E. program gives a strong anti -drug abuse message that reaches hundreds of school children each year from elementary through high school, and serves to build strong ties between youth and police, opening many avenues of communication and mentorship. Inv. Miller was re -certified as a Child Safety Restraint technician, while Officers Ross and Louthan attended a 1-day training course in Soldotna for Child Safety Restraints. Communications supervisor Lee Gattenby, and Dispatchers Greg Beckman and Jayms Harris, attended a 3-day Emergency Medical Dispatch (EMD) PROTOCOL training at the Kenai River Center the last week of the month. On the 171h, Chief Kopp attended the swearing -in of new Soldotna Police Chief John Lucking Jr. On the 26t', Lt. Wannamaker was present with other City representatives for the Ceremonial Opening of p 9 the new Youth Detention Facility. The Kenai Police Department worked with the Kenai Convention & Visitors Center to host a three-day basic suspect interview class taught by John E. Reid and Associates. 41 officers from various Federal, State and Local agencies attended the class. Chief Kopp attended a four -day (23"d-26th) Public Safety Technologies in Critical Incident Response workshop, sponsored by the National Institute of Justice. Proven and emerging technologies were reviewed for airport security/screening, explosive ordinance recognition and disposal, cybercrime investigations, urban search and rescue, communications and interoperability of radio communications, and transportation security. Risk mitigation to our community is an ongoing process of reviewing our vulnerabilities, the consequences associated with these vulnerabilities, and probable threat levels. .fir enai Municipal Airport Airport Manager's Monthly Report October 8920 3 Landing Fees: Mary Bondurant is continuing to do an excellent job of working with our corporate and air carrier users to collect landing fees. Reports on fees collected from January 2000 — August 2003 both at the commercial and corporate level are included under information items. Prior to January 2000, there was no concerted effort to collect landing fees from occasional users. The effort Mary has put into contacting these users has resulted in increased revenue and a more level playing field for all the users. The reports also will give you a glimpse of the many different companies and aircraft using our airport. Airport Business Plan: In August, I reported on a meeting with the FAA Airports Division regarding the runway extension and the environmental assessment where the FAA requested a Supplemental Planning Analysis to support the need for the project. After giving this matter serious consideration and study, I believe it is possible to accomplish the task requested by FAA and gather valuable information for the City. At the October 9, 2003, Airport Commission meeting I outlined a proposal to conduct a two-part Airport Business Plan. I have tentative agreement from FAA (contingent on review of RFP documents) to fund development of this plan. The proposed RFP will include evaluation of current and projected traffic, airport land use, SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) Analysis, current and future operational needs, compatible land use, mission statement, alignment of business goals, .. comparability factors, alternate revenue sources, and a plan to optimize revenues through solid business planning. All of these tasks are items that the FAA encourages or requires airports to consider when complying with grant requirements of self-sustainability. By focusingon an overall business plan we can also explore options for marketing that was the primary goal of the proposed airfare study. The time line for this project would include several work sessions with Commission to develop an RFP acceptable to the FAA. If the RFP is finalized by December 1, advertising, g proposal evaluation, and consultant selection could reasonably occur by early February. This process will set back the runway extension project by at least one year; however, given the concerns expressed by Mr. North at the environmental pre-scoping meeting the FAA is not willing to proceed until we verify the need for a runway extension. There are other projects in . p J the master plan that could potentially be moved up to this summer — the most likely being the completion of a parallel taxiway. During Commission and Committee reports, the Council Liaison will report on the discussion from Commission and hopefully gain approval for a special work session to develop in itial nitial list of end product goals for the Supplemental Planning Analysis. Winter Season: Earl and the street crews are working to get everything ready for winter. Kachemak Electric recently installed new outlets in front of the Terminal to facilitate the hanging g g of Christmas lights. Lori Goode has been hired as our part-time groundskeeper. Manyyou ou helping know Lori from the many years she worked for Parks and Recreation. Lori will be us keep the Terminal area looking good. Earl is constructing a windbreak around the outside public smoking area. This has been requested for several years and NN-111 be a nice addition for the traveling public. MEMORANDUM To: Linda Snow, City Manager From: Larry Semmens, Finance Director Date: October 8, 2003 Subject: Council Report The finance department converted our accounting system to the new system during the week of September 29. We are pleased with the Caselle software, and the training we received was sufficient to get us started. Conversions are generally painful and this one is no exception. It will take time to get the kinks worked out but we are confident that we will be successful in using the new system. There are some nice features that will increase productivity that we will take advantage of. The most noticeable is bar coding of the utility bills. Payment data input will be much quicker with bar coding. The bills will look different, but we still utilize low-cost postcard type bills. I am attending the Caselle users conference in Utah next week. This is primarily a training seminar. It will also be a good opportunity to establish relationships with key people at Caselle and with other more experienced users of the software. The GASB 34 financial statement is still a work in progress. I expect to complete the report in November and hope that the auditors can finish their work soon after. j V111layea Future wit�r a Past, Giw��i 210 Fidal o Avenue Kenai, 9 Alaska 99611-7794 _ems Telephone: 907-283-7535 /FAX: 907-283-3014 7992 the GlE}/ of KENAI, ALASKA Memorandum Date: 10/08/03 To: Linda Snow, City Manager From: Casey Reynolds, Director of Economic Development RE: Monthly Report -September > Now that the election is over I would like the council to schedule a work session so it may define its role in Kenai's economic development and engage in a S.W.A.T. analysis as part of the Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS). On other fronts: 1. Ward's Cove- Marilynn Kebschull and I have been working closely with developers to work thru all issues concerning this project so that it may proceed in an expeditious p manner. This includes working with the group to get an historical surveying grant for the site. 2. I have put together the material for an economic development department page on the city's web site. It should be up in short order. 3. The Kenai Economic Roundtable had its first meeting on Oct. 7th. Turnout was excellent with representatives of the EDD, CEDD, KPTMC, KCVB, Alaska State Legislature, and Chamber of Commerce attending as well as the Kenai Mayor, City ty Manager, City Attorney, and myself. A wide array of issues were discussed including: g 1. Instituting 'a Bed Tax and other means of support for some of these agencies. 2. Creating an economic incentives package for the city of Kenai. 3. The impact of Kenai's school system on the city's ability to l retain and attract business. 4. Ways to leverage a Ward's Cove Cannery visitor destination into a larger economic impact for Kenai. This discussion included ideas for a statewide salmon day or week with a festival in Kenai, and bringing in charter fishing operations to the lower Kenai River. 5. It was decided to hold this meeting on the first Tuesday of every month to foster continued communication and cooperation amongst the development agencies. 4. In researching the prospects for bringing a large retailer to fill a significant void in the Kenai area I began to look into possible economic incentive packages the city could offer for such development. The state and borough both have their own incentive plans and putting together some incentives for the city appears to have considerable benefits. At this time I am researching what affects these programs have had on other similar communities attacking large retailers. Determining the size and structure needed to both successfully attract a retailer and protect the community, or whether incentives would even be needed or helpful will be challenging, however, in the next month I should be ready to make a recommendation regarding this issue.

The biggest difference in building permits is in single family residential. The total value of construction is skewed for last year because of two large, non-taxable 1ro public projects. P P Otherwise the new tax base is actually close. • There is an increase of $9329 to an existing PO for additional professional services to Coble Geophysical Services in the council packet. This work will provide for additional well development and testing at our latest exploratory well site. This site is looking quite promising and warrants further work before making decisions regarding permanent use of the well. • We have decided to remove some siding panels from the upper front of the PP Multi -Purpose Facility as an experiment to help remove moisture accumulation inside the building during the warm, rainy periods. This should . be considered an inexpensive attempt to increase air movement in the building. If successful, we can better make decisions fora permanent solution. Memo to Linda Snow Page 2 March 14, 2002 • There will also be a presentation from Wince-Cortheil-Bryson to council regarding design/build projects. An upcoming airport project to install a camera security system would be good a pilot project for this method of project management. Previously, council mentioned that they would reconsider an ordinance to facilitate this method for the City. The ordinance is on the agenda for introduction. We plan to solicit proposals for the security project later this year or early next year. 2 Q% d ai M L 40 � 'II � +O+ L � L Vi O CLM O uj O c� N � .�Q. M �s=.p O a. M o�. M 0) 4O cu .�. CL ,� >.

Prior nor to HSUS in 1998 I spent over 30 years in local government, 24 g of which were spent managing an animal control department in Florida. I am a past resident of both h the Florida an d National Animal Control Associations. I have had the good fortune to travel extensive) y over my career and have visited several hundred animal shelters in the United States and internationally. Y About twelve years ago, I met Bill Godek at a National Animal Control Association meeting. Bill and my pprofessionally have crossed p y several times since then. I promised him if I ever got to Alaska I would stopb y and see his shelter. I recently had the pleasure of vacationingin your beautif ul state and took the opportunity to visit the City of Kenai. The purpose of this letter is to compliment you and the City of Kenai Y y enai and Bill Godek for operating such an attractive, clean, well -designed facilit y. ty. I was totally impressed by what the City of Kenai has done and felt compelled to tell p you. I know fro m personal experience that those who work for local government usually ni -the negative. Weil, " g y hear o y g . � ell, this letter is purely positive. The fact that all animals are sterilized after adoption and that Bill and one other employee provide outstanding service to the citizens and animals of the community24I7 is nothing short of phenomenal. Many small and some large communities across the US do not see the be nefits of providing an attractive, functional, clean animal control facility. You and y your staff obviously do and that is so refreshing and enlightened. I would like g to refer everyone who calls and. wants to know a "small city that has done it Y right" to our shelter.

"File Alaska Municipal Lcague (AML), a statewide organization of over 140 cities, boroughs and unified municipalities repre- senting over 98 percent of Alaska residents, was one of manv organizations across Alaska supporting proposed rulemakings to exempt the Tongass and Chugach national forests from tic roadless rule. "The application of the roadless rule to the Tongass and Chugach would stifle future �2cononlic development opportunities ill a tate tilat already has more land i11 protected status than all other states combined," said Kevin Ritchie, Executive Director of AML. Some of the nation's largest environmental groups made it a top priority to mobilize their members to block the proposed exemp- tion for the nation's two largest forests, de- spite the fact that both are among the most protected in America and WOLlid remain so even «Tith the exemption. RDC rallied its members to Support the exemption in order to preserve multiple use opportunities in the dwindling areas of the Tongass and Chugach that remalll open to a variety of activities ranging from public ac- cess, transportation, tourism, power trans- mission grids, recreation, alining timber harvest and other public uses.

"Double -di ;it export growth is an amazing accom- plishment for any economy in the world, and is especially gratifying for a Pacific Rim state like Alaska," said Governor Frank Murkowski. "We should all be proud of this significant achievement," Murkowski said. "I believe that our efforts to improve and ex- pand access to resources in our state gill help continue this kind of economic progress." The state's January to June 2003 trade figures show the value of total Alaska exports for the first half of the year at $1.15 billion — $130 million higher than in the first half of 2002. At the same time last year, total exports had de- clined by 1 percent from the first six months of the previ- ous vear. AMEREF Needs Your Heir) Alaska's increase in exports was led by seafood, which in- creased $56 million, or 9 per- cent. Exports of fertilizers increased 25 percent, wood products rose 50 percent and precious metals soared 278 percent in the first six months of 2003 compared to the same time period in 2002. Japan remains Alaska's number -one trading partner, with seafood exports reach- ing $278 million in the first six months of 2003. In that same period energy sales in- creased $13 million, or 14 percent; wood products climbed $18 million, or 94 percent; and minerals rose $5 million, or 95 percent.

Fertilizer exports climbed $14 million, or 57 percent. "The recent Pac-5 Conference we organized re- inforced good business rela- tions and will help to assure an upward swing of exports to South Korea, Alaska's sec- ond-largest trading partner," said Johnson. Pac-5 is an economic conference of South Korea and five other U.S. states bordering the Pacific Ocean. Alaska's trade with Canada rose 49 percent, or $28 million, for the six-month period, for the third most significant increase in both dollars and percentage of growth. The main growth resulted from increasing mineral exports. China ranked fourth in Alaska's ex- port market list for 2003, im- porting over $62 million of Alaska's goods and sustain- ing 26 percent growth over 2002. Top exports to China include seafood, petroleum products, and fishmeal. Alaska fish producers are now able to sell all of the fish, including once -discarded parts that are now sold for use as animal feed. Switzerland was second in dollar growth, increasing $39 million and first in percent- age terms, rising 281 percent. Switzerland is now ranked fifth on Alaska's trading partner list due to Alaska's strong exports of precious metals to the nation, with gold accounting for nearly all the increase. Export of services and ex- pertise is also important to Alaska. Russia, with its Sakhalin oil and gas develop- ment projects, presents Alaska with lucrative export opportunities for services in arctic engineering and oil- ficld support activities.

"At the same time, even while it rc- cejves this assistance, it will send forth an ever-increasing flow of goods and services to swell the benefits to the United States and the free world.

For i-eacicrs hying elscwhcrc bacl� then, some background.

AGGRESSIVE AGENDA FOR ENVIRONMENTAL �--- PROTECTION AND COMPREHENSIVE REGULATION AT DEC Fast winter we began a major review of our regulatory programs to see if they can achieve these goals. Our review in- cludes the following: AIr Permit Reform: Air permit re- form is a priority. Our current permit- ting process is needlessly complex and drawn out. We need a clearer and more logical distinction between major and minor sources of emissions. Terms and conditions will closely mirror federal programs and all permit exemptions available in federal law will be included. Increased staff is already working to re- duce the time from application to permit completion, with a goal of 90-110 days for construction permits. DEC's air op- erating crating permits backlog has been cut in half since December 2002. The remain- ing 26 backlogged operating permits will be issued by November 30, 2003. The majority d the regulatory reform will be accomplished by May 2004. Spill Prevention and Response: We are streamlining oil spill contingency plan regulations to make it easier for op- ators to conipiv A-1ti1 state 1,,julre- mcnts. Changes proposed for oil and Irlzs exploration and production facilities include a pertormancc standard for con- trolling blowouts as opposed to mandat- ing relief \vclls. Another change includes the use of nun -mechanical cleanup technology,- when a response is ()tilerwise not possible because of envi- ronmental conditions such as broken lcc. National Pollutant Discharge Elimination Systcm (NPDES) Program Primacy: The Governor will seek Iegis- lation to assume full responsibility for rc"Lliating discharges to Alaska's waters, such as those from municipal treatment works, factories, and mines.

Our goal is to clarify the public Interest in municipal (domestic) solid waste, and design a program that can ac- complish the same level of protection throughout the state. `Yining Rule: We want to establish the authorities, standards and regulatory methods necessary to permit mines in Alaska in one rule. This project must be coordinated with Rater program ration- alization (below) to achieve consistency in groundwater standards, use of state waters for treatment works, and other areas of overlap. Our goal is to have a statutory proposal readv by the coming legislative session. Water Program Rationalization: `Ve are evaluating current authorities and operating practices to identify gaps in protection of water resources to ensure all water resources are consistently pro- tected. New regulations will be based on risk and will establish self -imple- menting "permits -by -rule," increase the use of general permits, reserve staff time 101, complex pCI-111itti1101 and Increase use or on-line permitting. work will require adjustments to water quality standards (l 8 AAC 70) and permitting require- ments (18 AAC 72).

I have long admired the work of this organization. When I served as Commissioner of Natural Resources, RDC worked closely with the dcoartment on manv resource issues and legisla- tive efforts. RDC always brought a reasoned approach to the table. being President is a particularly (Yratifvillg assignment because of the outstanding staff we have Nvorking for us. Tadd continues a line of distinguished executive directors. Carl is more of an institution than an em- ployee. ,Jason brings us all the energ�r and enthusiasm of youth, and Billie Rae keeps the trains running on time.

W'e have maintained this interest because of Alaska's reputation for having particularly cumbersome permitting systems. I want to differentiate between the process of permitting and the purposes of these systems. The Mitial purposes of most government programs are good, particularly those that help protect the environment lil which we work and play-. However, because there are so many programs now mandated by our legislature and the U.S. Congress, the, permitting process has become a Lingle through R-111ch on1v the brave (and, for the most part, well financed) dare tread.

Credit needs to be given to Gov. Murkowski ..ild the legislature for addressing this situation Head on. There were a variety of actions taken to Ilelp simplify the permitting system, and I would like to focus on two. The first is SB 74, which extended the time for "ubmitting oil spill contingency plans from every three years to every five years. The additional two years isn't much, and an argument could certainly be made: for a longer period, but the change in law was a very positive step. It means that in a 15-vear period, a company need submit only three plans father than five. The change reduces the workload and costs for both industry and government, at a time when government needs to reduce costs and Ale - needs to reduce the cost of doin business. '.. change also reduces litigation risk, a major com- ponent of risk analysis for Alaskan projects. The second piece of legislation I want to men- tion is SB 1.12, which designates the Department Or Natural Resources (DNR) as the lead agencv -k)I' olevetop111CI1t prmccts. 111t let,islatlon does not control over the decisions let, slatively �rantcd to other agencies. I-Io,�:vever, the legisla- tion gives the permitce a single source of contact in government and allows DNR to set schedules for ether agencies to work under and also to coordinate appeals. The DNR lead agency concept has worked well ill the past for large mining projects and, I believe, N.%-ill work well for other projects. Having one agency in charge of moving the project along will definitely speed the decision process. Having this type of oversight may also help eliminate mitiga- tion measures from different agencies conflicting %Vith one another. Simplifying the permitting process does not mean, as some critics charge, lowering our stan- ._1,1,.rcis or tiwironlllcntai protection. Neither of the examples cited above reduces a single enviror mental standard.

River Quest Subdivision Proposal Herman Fandel said he has operated his business out of River Quest (formerly Porter's) for many years. He said that making a subdivision at this location is a terrible mistake as the area is in the flood plain and has flooded many times. The difference between a recreational subdivision in which most people remove their trailers and RV's each fall and a regular subdivision is that in the later, a lot more development will occur and it will not be as easy to remove personal property each time the river floods. A subdivision has no business going in there. Ed Beddow of Soldotna provided the Board members with copies of a letter to the tenants of the island from Rob Nash. He is a concerned Kenai River Special Management Area Advisory Board May 15, 2003 Meeting Minutes Page 1 of 9 citizen and his concern is with creating a subdivision in a flood zone A, as he feels that this is a disaster waiting to happen. He feels that the use of this site should remain as a seasonal fish camp, and that subdividing it will encourage more year round use. He is very irate about this situation because it seems like people are ignoring this issue. Another concern relates to the Phase H of the project which includes the rear 26 acres. This is another new subdivision in what seems to be a zone B and C flood zone area and no one can tell him where the septic system will be located. He and his group plans to take this issue up with the Borough Assembly. Ted W. asked if Ed knows how much this subdivision is in the flood plain. Ed said that every bit of the new subdivision proposal is in the floodway. Ted W. asked if he knows if any of the development over the years filled in any of the flood plain or changed it in any way. Ed said that over the years, tenants have made repairs after floods that have progressively filled in parts of the flood plain. Suzanne Fisler said she talked to John Mohorcich regarding River Quest. She said there were structures built prior to floodplain ordinances and structures built since that. Newer structures need to meet certain height to pass flood flows and have conveyance calculations done to prove they are not diverting flood flows. Anything built before the 1995 habitat protection ordinance is considered grandfathered in. Anything built after 1995 has to be outside the 50-foot setback or elevated to the habitat protection ordinance standards. Other board comments include the question of the preliminary approval of the plat, what mechanism addresses the social concerns and the fact that it seems that common sense and public opinion doesn't account for anything. Ted Wellman made a motion to send letter to the Borough and designate someone to provide public testimony opposing this project and that it should be denied based on the fact that it is inconsistent with the 1997 Comprehensive Management Plan and the cumulative impact of this many structures is going to have a significant impact within the floodplain. Motion seconded by Joe Connors. Pete Sprague excused himself from the vote as he is affiliated with the Borough Assembly. Motion passed unopposed. Kenai River Special Management Area Advisory Board May 15, 2003 Meeting Minutes Page 2 of 9 B. Kenai River User Study — Potential Study ideas and discussion, Doug Whittaker, Confluence Research and Consulting Doug has been interested in Kenai River social recreation issues for many years, having worked on 1992 Kenai River Carrying Capacity Study. He was asked to put together a discussion of how researchers look at conflicts and issues so that the Board would have a better understanding of the value of conducting monitoring surveys of river users. Social researchers use two phrases a lot: `use conflict' and `asymmetric antipathy'. Use conflict is mainly about `goal interference' in which people pursuing recreation experience some sort of interference with their recreational activity. The researchers measuring the intensity of these conflicts have found the level of tolerance for interference from other people is very high when people are participating in general recreation with non-specific goals for the day. In contrast, people who spend a lot of money on their equipment and a lot of focused time on their goal tend to be very intolerant of other people who get in their way. Asymmetric antipathy is usually a one-way conflict, in which one group perceives a conflict caused by another group, while the other group doesn't feel any conflict. An example of this is that drift boaters are generally more sensitive to conflicts caused by power boaters than the reverse. Finding solutions to eliminate conflicts usually requires modifying the offending behavior. The most common solution in wildland settings is to separate the conflicting uses, which usually means the users coexist with an uneasy truce. Before researchers can determine how many people is too many, they must relate the impacts that people are experiencing with their tolerance for those impacts. When the tolerance for the impact is less than the amount of time a person is experiencing the impact, that's a clear sign that action is needed. The relationship between perceived crowding and overall satisfaction is weak at best and sometimes non-existent. If people who have been recreating are asked how their trip was, invariably they say "good" or "excellent". It is always high and research has shown that there is never any variance. There is almost never a good correlation between satisfaction scores and impacts they've experienced or use levels that occurred. The only thing that satisfaction seems to correlate with in all of recreation is the degree of harvest success for anglers and hunters. To measure the impacts, a system of indicators and standards is used. The indicator variables are the impacts you think you care about and then Kenai River Special Management Area Advisory Board May 15, 2003 Meeting Minutes Page 3 of 9 standards are set for how much is ok and how much is too much. Then actions are linked to standards. Doug said that he compared some of the issues raised in the 2003 survey and compared them to what was found in 1992. Issues such as guided use among unguided users and motorized use among non -motorized users are again key concerns among the respondents a decade later. Although there is a high level of support for limiting guides, it is not clear if the respondents favor limiting the number of guides, the number of trips they take or the time they spend on the river, as the specific options were not identified. Other studies have been done, such as a phone survey by ADF&G's contractor last winter. That effort documented that the people who use guides are mainly from out of state. More people said they were not going to return when asked what their intentions were in the future, citing crowding and over fishing as reasons. ADF&G's survey also documented two-way antipathy, as guided users did not like the unguided users. Guided users said they got in their way of their fishing and unguided users said the guides were too aggressive. The ADF&G study asked about three specific types of problems between guides and non -guides, and found that aggressive behavior, boat banging and threats were the most commonly stated problems. There was a lot of local support for regulations such as guide limits. Last summer State Parks did a replication of the 1992 study on just the Lower Kenai River. People were catching fish at higher levels than they were in 1992, which means people are getting better at catching fish and/or the fish return was much better. The survey showed similar levels of crowding compared to 1992, similar levels of tolerance for different kinds of impacts, greater support for guide limits and a slight increase in support for use limits. Another Fish and Game study on licensing found that there has been a decline in license sales among residents since 1993 even though the population in the state has grown. In contrast, non-resident sales have increased 33% during the same time. Crowding was the most common reason with almost 50% of the people who had not fished in the last three years. This was more prevalent among people from south central Alaska. Over half the people who actively fish in the state spend at least some time on the Kenai River. The satisfaction on the Kenai is still high though. Since the Kenai River Board is interested in addressing how the guide population can be limited, there is some additional information needed Kenai River Special Management Area Advisory Board May 15, 2003 Meeting Minutes Page 4 of 9 4 about guides that may help in future decisions, including the number of trips or guide days by segment and season, , proportion of total use and how it compares to private use, and the rate of increase and the makeup of clients, whether they are residents or non-residents. The state population is steadily increasing which means the visitor use is booming. It can probably be assumed that guide numbers will not decline dramatically on their own. Doug cautioned that while there is support for guide limits and this may reduce conflicts, it is unlikely to eliminate that conflict. Freezing the use may not have a great effect on reducing crowding. The conflicts may be a behaviorally based, which have elements of scapegoating and jealousy involved. It will be important to have a clear understanding of all of this before merely limiting numbers. Ted Wellman suggested that due to the late hour that this issue should be discussed in a future separate work session. Ken Lancaster suggested that the board send their thoughts and suggestions to Doug. Doug concluded by saying that there are two types of studies that have not been done yet that the board should consider also. One is behavioral and the other is a focus on specific behaviors and perceived behaviors. He is interested in working further with the board on this subject. C. USFS Trail River Campground Improvements, Bill Shuster This project did not get funding for the work in this fiscal year, so this topic is set aside for now. D. Appointment of vice -chair Ted W. nominated Jim Golden. Jim G. declined. Pete S. nominated Linda Snow. Jim G. nominated Joe Connors. Ted W. nominated Robin West. Linda Snow's name was withdrawn since she was not present. A ballot vote was taken, and Robin West was elected with a 7 to 6 count. IV. OLD BUSINESS A. Commercial Operator Committee Report, Joe Connors The committee came up with a recommendation with three parts. These include raising the guide fees, creation of a guide board and the development of a training/education program. Kenai River Special Management Area Advisory Board May 15, 2003 Meeting Minutes Page 5 of 9 The committee would like to see a doubling of the guide fees as long as the money stayed in the KRSMA system to support enforcement and provide improved services to river users. The draft guide board proposal was originally presented to the Kenai River Board about 6-8 months ago. This proposal would create a board to include not only the Kenai River but also other rivers and areas managed by State Parks. The board would deal with guide to guide and guide to public issues. This board could also help develop a training program. The training program's objective is to increase the quality and professional behavior of the new guides. The department should set a date for new guides to notify them of their intention to get into the program. There might be two classes during the season. The committee recommends this three-part program in the form of a letter be forwarded to the Director and Commissioner. Board questions included how these guide board members would be selected and whether this will mean regulation changes or the addition of new regulations, etc. Joe Connors suggested that the guide board members could be voted in. Chris Degernes said that it would require a regulation change to increase guide fees and that we should explore the guide board idea further to see if it can operate under this advisory board. Ted Wellman expressed support for the concept, but said the details need to be worked out. It would be important that the guide board includes agency, public and guide members. Joe Connors made a motion to forward a letter to the Commissioner and the Director asking for guidance regarding the three parts of the proposed new program. Chris Degernes seconded the motion. None opposed. Motion Passed. B. Boat Wake Study — Phase II Update, Chris Degernes Chris reported that the Army Corps of Engineers is very interested in conducting the second phase of the Boat Wake Study, and are hoping we can secure our portion of the funding for the 2004 season. The state will need to provide half of the funding, which can be a combination of half cash and half in -kind services or donations. The cost is estimated to be about $200,000. C. Kenai River Center Update, Suzanne Fisler The clear span bridge idea that was presented to the Board a couple of months ago has been replaced with a far cheaper two span version. This Kenai River Special Management Area Advisory Board May 15, 2003 Meeting Minutes Page 6 of 9 bridge design will have one in -water pier, and is projected to cost 8 million less than the clears an design. The bridge will c ' p g b onslst of 5 lanes with additional walking lanes on each side. The Corps has come out with a public notice on the Galbraith "rock vane" project in Cooper Landing. The Corps is bringing someone up from the Waterway Experiment Station in July to look at the project and there will be an in-depth analysis made at that time. Suzanne anticipates the project will be on hold until after the Corps analysis is completed. More than 200 commercial operators have registered so far. Suzanne offered her opinion that the Commercial Operator's Committee recommendation to implement an educational component to the guide permit process needs to be done in such a way that it will result in more capable and qualified applicants to the guide pool, and not just serve as a way to limit newcomers into the industry. Kenai River Special Management Area Advisory Board May 15, 2003 Meeting Minutes Page 7 of 9 D. DOT Projects update & Cooper Lake FERC Relicensing, Bill Shuster Last week Bill met with DOT concerning the MP 18-25 Seward Highway project and they have the project nearly designed. He suggested that the Board invite DOT to report on this project this fall. DOT is searching for gravel sources at the present time, and is considering gravel from the Snow River or Porcupine Creek. There are a lot of interpretive opportunities along the highway and new trailheads. h The MP 45-60 Sterling Highway project has scheduled open house opportunities at the Princess Lodge next Wednesday and again the following day in Anchorage. DOT's website contains information on the various alternatives. All the alternatives are being considered at this time. They will be getting information at the open houses to start paring down the alternatives. One of the two Juneau Falls alternatives seems to be what they prefer. Bill said they had a meeting in Anchorage today to discuss the Cooper Lake Dam relicensing process that is required by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). Chugach Electric Association conducted an agency meeting to discuss 19 study plans that are to be completed. Bill promised to keep the Board informed regarding the Cooper Lake relicensing process. V. PUBLIC COMMENT Dick Hahn, of Soldotna. Dick said since the last meeting he has been thinking about other options to conserve the resource and to limit pressure on the river. One idea is to close the river for a "salmon lifecycle". The second idea is to impose a lottery for fishing the Kenai, Kasilof and Cook Inlet north of Anchor Point. If you limit the number of fish and fisherman, you limit the catch. There would have to be some cost for lottery fees, but the resident and non-resident fees would stay the same. Some of the benefits would be that the total anglers by month would be set by the lottery with caps on both guided and non -guided fishers. Down sides of this concept is that enforcement would be difficult, and residents may have difficulty accepting such a concept. Additionally, the marine intercept fishery would need to be addressed as well. Dick thinks that catch and release should not be allowed and the spawning beds should be closed for May and June. Members of this advisory board need to meet with advisory members from other boards that have an interest in the Kenai or Kasilof River or the marine fishery for King Salmon. Kenai River Special Management Area Advisory Board May 15, 2003 Meeting Minutes Page 8 of 9 Herman Fandel suggested that whatever is done to limit use on the Kenai River has to be done fairly and equally to everyone. Herman would like to see a limit to fishing such as a 5 day limit where you pick your days to fish and write them on your license. VI. ADJOURNMENT A. Board Comments Robin W. said that the flood repair project at Jim's Landing is nearing completion. The KNWR staff is planning a meeting to discuss future access issues on the refuge lands downstream from the Russian River .confluence area on June 5`h and persons interested should call him. Skilak Loop road is almost impassible at the current time due to a severe break up this spring. The section between Hidden Lake and Upper Skilak Campground is impassable. Pete S. said he would like to welcome Tom Vania of ADF&G to the board. Joe C. said the Kenai River Professional Guide Association is providing the fish for the Return of the Salmon Celebration, a program to provide a meal for elders. On May 18`h the Guide Association is having `take a kid fishing' day with a few guides on the Kenai and Kasilof Rivers. Chris D. wanted to thank the board for helping DNR and Parks manage the river. Keith K. said the City of Kenai has increased the rates for the Kenai Dock. Day use parking on both the north and south side is $10, while the launch fee has increased to $15. Rick W. said that he was not aware that anyone within the City of Soldotna administration has been informed that the new bridge design had been changed. Ted W. said he is wondering if he will live long enough to see the new road around Cooper Landing, and that it is absurd to have taken so long. Bill S. has been monitoring snow levels all winter, and reports that the MRCS staff predict that the Kenai River will have about 92% of the normal water flows from May through the end of June. Ken L. wished all of the Board members a good summer. B. Date/Agenda of Next Meeting September 18`h. (note: this meeting has been canceled due to lack of a quorum.
