Carl E. Borash, 12/02/94
Keith Komelius discussed letters from Corps of Engineers after Alan Jeffries inspection visit.
The Corps suggested the city of Kenai relocate the water and sewer facilities and possibly
placing riprap along the bluff.
Tommy Thompson asked about the TAMS report. Keith stated the TAMS report was sero to
the Corps. Tommy also asked about the recommendation to place riprap. Keith stated it
would only be a temporary solution. The higher tides would still go over it.
Jim Bookey asked about how the Commission felt about dredging of the mouth of the river.
Keith suggested setting up a meeting with Fisheries. Mike McCune brought up discussion of
a new dredging system. He offered to attempt to get more information.

that it had been done, but was cost prohibitive. Discussion centered on having Jim Bookey
approach Council for direction on the possibility of dredging.
