OLD BUSINESS ao Cone/Cunningham Property - Komelis memo dated 9/30/94 Komelis stated applications have been submitted for grams. Bookey stated that Council had been asked to rezone the property to conservation. It went through Planning and Zoning with no problems and is on hold for now until further' action has been decided on the Exxon Valdez funds. Spracher asked if the funds do buy the property, would it then belong to the state. Komelis stated that the proposed agreement would be that the state would own it, and the city would maintain it (Cone property). He stated the. city now owns the Cunningham Park property and would purchase four more lots, enlarge it, and possibly put in a boardwalk. Kornelis referred back to his memo regarding city responsibility for operation and maintenance, liability, insurance, etc. and that these issues need to be addressed in any agreement. It would all be handled with spill fund money and would not come from the city's general fund. bo Bluff Erosion- letter from Corps of Engineers Komelis stated after meeting with Corps represemative, Section 14 assistance was not applicable. Section 103 would be more likely. The maximum amount the Corps would be able to provide would be $2 million. The local share would be 35 %. He would have more information in two-three weeks. Munn asked if the Corps would do the work, Bookey responded they would engineer it and then bid it out. Steel bulkheads were discussed, but were not realistic given the $2 million figure. Bookey felt it needed to start with dredging the river given the number of boats coming in during the summer, low water and no defined channel. It would take a concerted public effort to get the funds, possibly through Senator Stevens, to get it done. He asked the Commission to think on it and discuss further options next meeting. 7. NEW BUSINESS Covered under bluff erosion discussion. ge COMMISSIONER COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS Bookey stated Ashley Reed was rehired as lobbyist for the Council. 9. INFORMATION None.
