It was reported the Kenai River Classic approached the Parks and
Recreation Commission to inform them funds are available to do some
enhancement in the lower river. The Kenai River Classic has a fishing
event each year with Senator Ted Stevens and this event brings in a
considerable amount of funds which is used toward habitat protection
and river enhancement for the sport fishing industry. This group
approached Parks and Recreation as there is some interest in making
Cunningham Park more accessible to the public. There was also interest
expressed in the bird viewing area at the bridge and is also an item on
the Harbor Commission's goals and objectives.
After a brief discussion it was decided Kornelis will provide a conceptual
sketch for a boardwalk and additional parking to be presented at the
next meeting and then forwarded to the Kenai River Classic group.
