Will Jahrig stated he has been unable to discuss with ~he City Manager about the bluff
erosion issue. Keith stated that the Corps of Engineers was not enthusiastic about the
tire suggestion that had been made. .
Keith stated that he still felt that using the pilings was the best suggestion so far.
Will Jahrig stated he was concerned that the dip net fishing paxking was still affecting
the erosion process. Jun Bookey stated that Council considers the bluff erosion and
the dunes as two separate issues. Will stated that if there is ano~her big storm like we
had last year, almost anything we put in will be ineffective.
Tom Thompson stated that a barge would cost about $200-$500 a day to place the rip
rap. A crane would probably run from $500-$1,000 an hour.
Jim Bookey stated he could approach Council, but felt it was unlikely to be funded.
He suggested talking to some of the other Council members first. He stated ~iat with
the state allowing the dip net fishery in there, why not let the vehicles go down the
beach and do their ~shing and then come back up when ~hey are done. It would
probably keep them off the dunes. He felt that the state needs to work with the City
of Kenai on this problem.
Keith stated he would like to see some way of charging for parking, maybe something
like $5 a day would help to bring in revenue to assist in funding anyway.
7. INFORMATION
a. Erosion Pamphlet - Was passed around and discussed during New Business.
Mike McCune asked how the Robinson's venture is going so far. Swede stated that
he has taken out three tours so far as he knows of.
8. COMMISSIONER CON[MENTS AND QUESTIONS
-. a. City Council Agenda - Jim Bookey stated that the Borough gave EDD
~~ $84,000. The majority of the Council wanted to give $100,000, but decided
to give $40,000 instead. They will use it to purchase the Arco property.
EDD's intent is to run an industrial training program.
Keith stated that he piaced ads in the Clarion to promote lease space at the city docks.
There was only one response which was from someone in Fairbanks wanting
information only. He didn't think it was promising.
