Discussion -- 2001 Goals & Objectives
The Commission reviewed the 1994 short and long-term objectives which were
included in the packet. Kornelis gave a status report on each item and it was noted
the short-term items had been achieved. Discussion took place regarding new goals
and objectives. It was suggested that Item 1 of the long-term goals (explore the
possibility of developing a commercial-leased area, either for yardage or buildings) be
moved up to short-term and made Item 1. Several items were recommended to be
added to long-term objectives.
MOTION:
Commissioner Peters MOVED to add the following items to the long-term objectives in
the order listed. Commissioner Rogers SECONDED the motion.
Kenai Coastal Trail
New Dock Access Road
New Launch Ramps
Dock Area Paving
Develop access to the south side of the Kenai River.
Item 5 is a separate item from 2 through 4.
VOTE:
There were no objections. SO ORDERED.
The Commission decided to again add this item to the agenda for the next meeting for
additional discussion and possibly more additions or changes to the short-term goals.
6-bo
Discussion-- Resolution No. 2001-12 Supporting HB93 "Kenai Dip Net
Fishery Permit Fee."
Kornelis explained the item was placed on the agenda for discussion purposes only as
the item had already been passed by Council and was forw~ded to Juneau for
discussion.
Discussion took place on how the funds from this program would be utilized and
whether or not those funds could be used for the dip net fishery. Councilman Bookey
stated the money would go into the State's general fund and it would be difficult for
any to be funneled back to the Kenai River dip net fishery. Bookey added that any
changes to this procedure could be presented to the legislature but it would take this
Commission and City Council to bring it to them.
Thompson stated he reviewed the proposed bill and felt the tax would not solve the
current problems. Thompson added, the bill did not focus on the problems of the
fishery, which is overcrowding on the river. Discussion took place on the City charging
a fee and it was noted that it could not be done.
