ADJOURNMENT There being no further business before the Sub-Committee, the meeting was adjourned at 7:24 p.m. Meeting summary prepared and submitted by: _____________________________________ Jacquelyn Kennedy Deputy City Clerk Page 14 of 14 Kenai Landing: The Economic Feasibility of a Marine Industria l Transportation and Repair Hub The Upper Cook Inlet needs additional support facilities to accommodate present and potential long-term marine-based transportation enterprises. Many of these services are expanding in Homer, as Anchorage is overcrowded . No other nawral ports exist between Homer and Anchorage . Marine safety and emergency response activity requ i res ready access to the water, and to warehouses or storage facilities holding marine safety-related equipment. Safety services will be increasingly important in the future as Cook Inlet commercial activity expands, whether it's a gas pipeline, airship staging, or offshore oil and gas support. Response time from Anchorage or Homer is a safety factor . Haul-out of large, shallow draft vessels for maintenance and repairs is now accomplished i n an environmentally safe manner using inflatable tubes to move vessels on-shore . Marine related support enterprises locate near such facilities, providing a source of year-round employment and high wage jobs. Roll-on landing craft style vessels are in need of protected UCI moorage outside the 60 -day fishing season. The activities associated with these vessels benefit from both a fixed dock and load and launch ramp-style facilities. Where do these vesse ls go to undergo maintenance and repa ir? Why not Kenai? The economic benefits associated with a Marine Industria l transportation hub consis t of th ree p rim ary areas: 1) Direct long-term lease income from competitive market-based leases . a. These exist at Kenai Landing, and more are pending. 2) Daily rents associated with dock and launch activity. a. Kenai Landing has a successfu l history of attracting these enterprises . 3) Tax revenue, from both sales and real property. a. Kenai Landing has a proven track record of increasing both, to the benefit of local taxpayers.
