the Corps of Engineers. Corps did state that under Section 107 they could possibly do
an investigational study. They stated they would need a letter, which Kornelis would
initiate. This needs to be done before miaking a recommendation to Council.

agreed. Keith Kornelis stated the Corps has no money for 1995 projects unless the
project is an endangerment situation.
Jim Bookey said this was going to be a long term project that started with the Corps
before taking it to Council. Evenutally it would go to the public, to the state level and
then on to Stevens and Murkowski.
Jim Bookey sa,id it would all come back to the Commission before recommendation to
the Council. VVill Jahrig asked what the Mayor's feelings were. Bookey responded
that the Council is in support.
Will Jahrig asked if there was any way to discuss with EDD for support. Bookey
responded that the study should be left to the Corps at this point.
