Leases: Mr. Kornelis talked about the Harbor
Commission's recommendation at their last meeting.
There has not been an official request for power at the

one option being to have a small transformer put down
at the docks. Mr. Kornelis will continue to look into
this and see what can be done, both for safety purposes
and to upgrade the leases on the dock.

Kenai Harbor Commission Minutes
May 7, 1990
A motion was made by Commissioner Quesnel that the
lease application be approved contingent upon two
criteria being met:
(1) That a professional engineer stamp /sign off the
submitted drawings; and
(2) Receipt of a Corp of Engineering permit that
allows building what has been signed off by
the professional engineer and submitted to the
City of Kenai.
Motion seconded by Commissioner Jahrig. Motion
carried.
7. CORRESPONDENCE:
Commissioners discussed the memorandum from City Planner,
Janet Sumey. The memo discussed the Harbor Commission's
request for a large map showing the lands and buoys on the
river and also property ownership. Some discussion
followed concerning why this information is needed and to
what purpose it would be used. The names of the property
owners was not as important to the Commissioners as the
need to know what is commercial and noncommercial
property along the river. ACTION TAKEN:
A motion was made by Commissioner Quesnel to proceed with
getting a map from the City of Kenai locating moorings,
ramps, docks, property lines, tidelease lands, etc. and
names of the commercial industries on the river bank as it
impinges on the City of Kenai and the Harbor.
Motion seconded by Commissioner Jahrig. Motion carried.
8 COMMISSIONERS COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS:
Commissioner Thompson asked Mr. Kornelis how the dock had
held up over the winter. Mr. Kornelis stated that other
than a few general repairs it held up well.

The meeting was adjourned at 8:20pm. The next meeting of
the Harbor Commission will be June 11, 1990 at 7:OOpm.
