Fishing Hole· Alt land was to contact Fish & Game and
Cook Inlet Aquaculture Association to speak to the
Commission. Discussion regarding state hatcheries and
whether CIAA will pick up the operations. Also discussed
possibility of damming the two creeks in the same area to
~orm a small lake for ~ishing.
Kenai River Viewing Flats. Korne!is stated most or all
of the money for that project had already been spent on
the project. McCubbins stated the Boy Scouts could
possibly assist in making a "horizon/mountain range" or
"Rim of Fire" interpretive board, however, they would
need to know more information regarding size, type, and
display wanted. McCubbins will try to meet with Fish &
Game and Fish & Wildlife to see if they have some
information to be used, he will check with the Boy Scouts
on the possibility of doing the project, and he will
bring back a report next meeting.
C ·
Ramp From Concrete Dock to F! oaring Dock Design.
Discussion regarding Nelson's estimated design budget.
Discussion occurred regarding also making the ramp
wheelchair/handicapped accessible using a monorail system
with a carrier and possible grants that could be obtained
for that portion. It was felt that all that was needed
'at this point in time was a conceptual layout and design
(the first two items on Ne!son's estimate). Kornelis
stated since that was for only two days work, he could
get a purchase order 'for that portion. Jahrig will also
give Kornelis his Homer drawings for evaluation.

the last meeting. Kornelis stated it will need to go through
