MEMORANDUM
TO: Chair Hutchison and Harbor Commission Members
FROM: Jamie Heinz, City Clerk
DATE: April 25, 2018
SUBJECT: Dipnet Vendors
At their meeting on 12/06/2017, Council asked Administration to address mobile vendors during the
dipnet fishery. While the City has always allowed vendors to operate in the parking areas during the
fishery, treating them the same as any other vehicle parking in the area, we decided the dipnet vendors
could be addressed by providing consistency to the dipnet fishery users while at the same time
providing an opportunity for local businesses to expand their business.
Feedback from the industry showed that most vendors felt the venue could be better, wanted to see
some sort of exclusivity, easier access, a specific vendor area, and suggested on-site electric and
potable/grey water dumping and refill site nearby. While the electricity and dumping/refilling site will
need to be accomplished in future years, we felt that we could accomplish some of the suggestions in
the near term and, combined with more consistency the fishery users could depend on, the venue
would improve for them.
To accomplish our goal and requests from the industry, we’ll be developing a simple application for the
vendors to complete and will encourage local businesses to apply. The applications will ask for brief
information about what the vendor offers, days and hours they will operate, where they are based out
of, and their facilities, which will then be ranked. Additional points will be given to applicants that
currently operate in the City of Kenai. We have outlined what we feel to be the safest area, facing the
beach, where two food vendors, one specialty coffee vendor, and one ice vendor will be situated and
the highest ranking applications of each type will be the vendors chosen to operate. The outlined area
has enough space for the vendor’s ‘facility’ and at least one support vehicle; we will be giving the
vendors vendor specific parking passes to come and go as they need.
With this plan, we’ve provided an opportunity for local businesses to expand their business, exclusivity,
easier access, and a specific vendor area. By also selecting vendors that will commit to operating for
the most amount of time, we hope that over time, the fishery users see this consistency and will utilize
these vendors instead of bringing loaded coolers from their hometowns.

Dipnet Vendors
In the case that we did not have enough of the specific vendors apply, we would allow another vendor
to come in by the day. For instance, if we did not have a specialty coffee vendor apply to operate the
entire time, we would allow a specialty coffee vendor to operate on a day by day basis or, if we only
had one food vendor apply, we would allow another food vendor to operate on a day by day basis but
we would never allow a third food vendor operate in a specialty coffee vendor slot or visa versa.
We are doing this as a pilot project for this season and once we have more insight in how well it works
we will make changes to the code as necessary.
If there are any questions, I am happy to answer them.
