any inquiries. Kornelis added the cost estimate had not been
before the Council but the project was included in an
informational packet presented to them.
Councilman Bookey noted City Council is aware of it and it will go
to budget in March or April. Councilman Bookey further noted
the Mayor is pushing for an interpretive sight on Birch Island

would try. McCune commented the original discussion of the
boardwalk included Birch Island.
Kornelis commented the land in question for the State project is
mostly State land except for a small portion of City land that the
City will deed to the State.
Chairman Jahrig inquired who built the Potters' Marsh boardwalk
in Anchorage. Kornelis replied he did not know but would find
out.

provided daily rental services. Chairman Jahrig responded it is not
competing if no one else is providing a daily rental.
