Budget Report from Bill Brighton A check has been written on account 62, C.P. Port Facilities for $100,000 to Bob Roper, bringing that account from $250,000 to $150,000. The rest stands the same as presented on the sheets. The balance of the $500,000 from the State grant is not showing, Mr. Brighton will get copies to the Commission. The Coast Zone Management grant is not carried over and not available as it has reverted back to CZM. Account 01-41950-4531 shows $35,980 but is actually $21,555 due to this reversion. After some figuring, Mr. Williams pointed out that there should be close to $1,000,000 at present after adding the $615,000 and the grant funds of around $390-400,000. KENAI ADVISORY HARBOR COMMISSION ~. Meeting of February 9, 1982 Page 2 Mr. Brighton had included a copy of a letter from CH2M Hill regarding the cancellation of the contract and $650.00 owing on phase one of that contract. MOTION: Paul Weller moved, seconded by Tom Thompson to reqUest the City Manager pay the $650.00 to CH2M Hill for Phase I of the now cancelled contract. Motion passed unanimously Chairman Williams pointed out to the Commission that the operating budget contains a transportation fund so that if need arises or it becomes necessary to volunteer to attend a meeting of PNWA or other harbor related business the money is there. John Williams asked Bill Brighton if moneY that was in the current operating budget could be carried over to the next budget year, Mr. Brighton answered that it could not, that it would revert back to the general fund. John Williams then proposed that the Commission allocate a budget commensurate with the previous budget, inasmuch as the Commission may now take a more active roll. H. OLD BUSINESS Chairman Williams asked thatthe agenda be changed under this heading to allow the smaller, less time consuming items first and take the boat ramp project last. There were-no objections. 1. Nortec Conference The Commission met with the Council and Nortec and asked Nortec for some cost estimate for a library search, a new proposal for the sediment study since the old one is a year old, and engineering on erosion control on the bluff. Nortec is to get back to the Commission and Council in the near future. 2. Coyle Appraisal There is no action necessary at this time, a copy of the appraisal is in the packet for information and future consideration. 3. New Members Since Mayor O'Reilly was not at the meeting, the acquisition of new members could not be discussed, however, the Commission members were asked to investigate any futUre members they might know. Chairman Williams asked that a note be sent to the Mayor regarding this. KENAI ADVISORY HARBOR COMMISSION Meeting of February 9, 1982 Page 3 4. Boat Ramp Project Phil Bryson of Wince, Corthell, Bryson, and Freas was present in the audience to meet with the Commission in a work session to make recommendations. A report will be made at the next meeting. 5. Set Net Leases The Tidelands Ordinance Work Book was passed out to the Commission members for reference and discussion. The Commission discussed the ordinances now in effect and changes that should be made, plus the roll the State now plays in offshore leases and set net permits. John Williams voiced his concern over the City getting involved at all since there were only six leases in question. Tom Wagoner suggested the issue be taken care of since it had been suspended for four years. Mr. Brighton asked if the State gave the responsibility or mandated the responsibility of the leases to the City and Mr. Williams responded that, to his understanding when the City accepted the tidelands, it also accepted the responsibility of the leases. Chairman Williams drafted several questions to be written to the City Attorney, Mr. Delahay to assist in making a decision. They are: 1. Is the set net section of ordinance 455.78, page 22, section 5 now~in effect or has it been deleted as a part of the overall ordinance; 2. Is there now in effect any set net permit ordinance; 3. Did the State mandate to the City of Kenai upon acceptance of the Kenai City tidelands, the authority to issue set net leases~ (shore fishery leases); 4. How many shore fisheries leases within the City have expired or are about to expire; 5. Has the City of Kenai had any correspondence from any shore fisheries lease holder since the issuance of ordinance 455.78 I. NEW BUSINESS 1. John Williams asked the City Manager if the money now available in the operating fund under professional services could be expended for preliminary design work on the City owned boat ramp. Mr. Brighton agreed that it could if it were for professional services. It was decided that money from bonding and state appropriations would not be used for the boat ramp project if at all possible. KENAI ADVISORY HARBOR COMMISSION Meeting of February 9, 1982 Page 4 Chairman Williams proposed a letter to the Corps of Engineers advising them of the purchase of the Roper leases and the fact that the City is contemplating an addition to the existing boat ramp and a repair grid and asking for information regarding the leases that were formerly held by Mr. Roper. A copy of the letter will be in the next packet. J. PERSONS PRESENT NOT SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD There were none · K. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
