Minutes approved as submitted
4. OLD BUSINESS
a. City of Kenai Fla~
Chairman Sparks reported to the Committee that the flags have
been ordered. It was noticed that the church dome and the oil rig
crane had been left off the drawing sent by the flag. company for final
approval. After the meeting, Chairman Sparks was to call the flag
company and notify them of their error.
b. Welcome to Kenai Si~n
The. recording secretary passed out a memo that was given to her
by the Public Works Department in regard to the Welcome to Kenai sign.
Bob Boyd of the State of Alaska DOT has informed the Public Works
Director that a permit should be issued for the sign as the Sterling
Highway is a Federal Interstate System. If a permit is not issued,
the sign would have to be placed 660' from the road. As soon as the
Committee can give Mr. Boyd the exact location and offset of the sign,
he will send a letter of no objection to the Right of Way Department
and ask for the permit. It could take four to six weeks to get the
permit so no sign will be chosen until the Committee is assured of
getting the permit.
Committee Member McComsey volunteered to talk to Baron Butler at
Big John's to get the information needed and it will be relayed to Mr.
Boyd.
As Fred Braun was unable to attend the meeting and rePort on the
progress of the Kasilof sign, a call was placed to him during the
meeting. He stated that George Jackinsk¥ was willing to donate land
to put the sign on the right side of the highway near the Kasilof
River Bridge. Mr. Jackinsky wanted approval of the sign design before
it was erected.
It was felt by the Committee that the same information will need
to be gathered for the Kasilof sign as it is on the same highway
system. This information will be provided by Fred Braun and given to
Bob Boyd also.
c. Leif Hansen Memorial Park
Chairman Sparks is going to address the next Council Meeting' and
ask the Council to add additional sidewalks in Memorial Park. She
will be backed up by other members who can attend the meeting.
If the request is denied, the alternative might be for the
committee to ask the Parks and Recreation Commission if people could
use a stake marker and just plant a tree anywhere in the park. The
location would still be approved by Parks and Recreation and the
planting done by a landscaping firm. It was felt that the City
Council should also approve the concept.
d. Ro~ers Road Clearinq
The Committee briefly discussed the letter that was received from
the State of Alaska denying permission for the cleanup of the lot
between Rogers Road and the High School. The matter will be dropped
as the Committee's hands are tied.
e. Banners
Chairman Sparks called the banner company from the meeting room
and determined that there were still banners available for purchase
but was not able to ascertain exactly which banners they were. The
company will call Chairman Sparks within a few days and her report
will be given at the next meeting.
