necessary to go through the Court for a quiet title.

through Court for a clear title. The buyer can wait two years

TransAlaska has a ten-year period.

title. Councilman Smalley asked if TransAlaska is the only

Public Comment:'
Ron Coleman - Resident of Kenai and representing the Kenai
Peninsula Fisherman's Association.
Mr. Coleman stated that the Association has approximately 400
members. They are seeking passage of the resolution to encourage
no political interference in the Alaska Department of Fish and
Game's management of the fisheries or the management plans and
regulations established by the Alaska Board of Fisheries. Mr.
Coleman informed Council that the Governor has stated that he
wants to limit the eastside setnet holders because it "looks
bad." There is no biological or economical reason to do this.
Mr. Coleman presented facts in respect to the income made from
their fishery and stated that most of the money stays in the
Borough and local economy. Their Association is supporting a
King Salmon protection plan that should be functioning after this
fishing season. This plan includes starting a King Salmon
protection fund. Approximately 74% of their members have agreed
to participate in the program at this time. The new markers to
be placed on the buoys was also discussed. The new markers will
be easier to check by the Protection people.
Jim Arness - Peninsula resident since 1948. Mr. Arness stated
that because of.the number of setnet and drift boat permits,
there is less fishing time for all. He believes that new permits
can be regulated by not allowing outside nets. However, he does
not believe the amount of permits can be changed at this time.
He requested Council to vote no on the resolution.
Gary Herhbberger - Resident of Kenai. He requested support of
the resolution and that Council pass the resolution. He stated
that he has owned an eastside setnet permit for over ten years
and has invested approximately $150,000 in his business. He does
not believe it fair to completely eliminate one fishery that has
existed for such a long time. Mr. Herhberger added that he has
as much right to be there as anyone else.
Rory Roreson - Mr. Roreson stated that if there is an elimination
of outside gear, it is the first step to eliminate all of the
eastside setnets. He suggested reallocating the drifters. A
large percentage of the drifters live outside of Alaska. 10% of
setnetters live outside of Alaska. The drifters take more money
out of the state. Mr. Roreson supports the resolution.

Randy Canady - Mr. Canady works for Tesoro and is also an
eastside setnetter. He has lived here for 21 years. He leases a
setnet site from the City of Kenai. Mr. Canady supports the
resolution. The proposed cut does not affect him and would be a
financial gain to him. He believes the administration and
fishermen's association need to work together.
Gene Palm - Vice President of the fishing association. Mr. Palm
stated that all should not lose sight of what is going on.
Administration has said that "facts don't matter." Mr. Palm
stated that it is not fair to cut one -quarter of the participants
out of the industry. This is not due process. Mr. Palm is in
support of the resolution.
Councilman Walker asked why Section 3 of the resolution is
included. Mr. Coleman stated that it is there because the
Governor has received an opinion from the Attorney General
stating that the Governor can dismiss the Board of Fisheries
members if he wants and get new people that will carry out the
Governor's agenda.
Mayor Williams stated that the Governor is new at this business
and manages the administration more like private industry. Mayor
Williams suggested that when permits have been purchased from the
State and when the State has to foreclose on permits due to
nonpayment, the permits should be retired.
MOTION:
Councilman Walker MOVED to amend the resolution removing "without
interference" from Section No. 4.
MOTION FAILED FOR LACK OF SECOND.

space for approximately four months for free. Mayor Williams
asked Council if they would allow this. •

liability should be in place. Councilman Smalley stated he had
no objections for the free letting of the space with a liability
agreement.
Councilman Measles stated that he would agree to their using the
space as long as there is not some business wanting to rent the
space. Mr. Ernst stated that there has been some interest from
another travel agency renting the space. They contacted Mr.
Ernst some weeks ago, but he has not heard from them lately. Mr.
Ernst added that the Airport Commission discussed using the space
to display Bicentennial information, etc. Mr. Ernst suggested
that this could be done together. Mr. Ernst also added that the
travel agency could be placed in the vicinity of the gift shop if
needed.
Councilman Measles stated that he does not have a problem with
designating KSRM as the Bicentennial radio station and have
someone be at the airport as a visitor's information center in
conjunction with KSRM.
Attorney Graves 'is to draw up an agreement between the City and
KSRM. Councilman Measles suggested that the City approach the
Bicentennial group and lease the space to the Bicentennial office
and they make arrangements with KSRM. Attorney Graves stated
that he will make sure the City is covered.

I-2, City Manager
City Manager Brighton asked Council if they wish Administration
to pursue alternatives in regard to the refusal of the Corps of
Engineers to provide a wetlands permit for the proposed boat
launch. Mr. Brighton suggested submitting a new request as many
of the people that decide on permits have just been appointed to
their jobs. Discussion suggested appealing to the Corps.
Attorney Graves stated that an appeal would be heard by Federal
District Court. Attorney Graves suggested submitting a new
application.
Council directed Administration to submit a new application to
the Corps, changing the application enough not to look like the
old application. Mr. Kornelis stated that the Corps would have
the same people to review the application. Mr. Brighton added
that the Corps bases their opinion on what other agencies decide.
Mr. Kornelis stated that perhaps some trees could be cut and move
the parking area more upland. Councilman Walker suggested that
Administration go through the decision by the Corps and address
each item they have found to be offensive. Address each and
modify the application accordingly.
