ITEM 5'
OLD BUSINESS
5-a. Discussion -- Kenai Coastal Trail/Bluff Restoration Project Update
Kornelis reported a work session with the Kenai City Council, the Planning & Zoning,
Harbor and Parks Commissions and Paul Fuhs and Dennis Nottingham of Peratrovich,
Nottingham & Drage (PND) was held on October 25 to discuss the Kenai Coastal Trail.
At the work session, it was decided PND would prepare responses to the agency letters
that voiced concern or opposition to the project. Kornelis noted, because PND had no
funds remaining in their original contract, a resolution would be before City Council at
its next meeting to appropriate an additional $20,000.
Kornelis stated he was preparing a presentation for Council and it would be available
at the next Harbor meeting for review.
A very lengthy discussion ensued regarding the Kenai Coastal Trail and the most
appropriate approach to take in the City's attempts to obtain the permits necessary for
construction. Councilman Bookey stated PND was preparing the responses to the
agencies and the City should wait to review those before going any further. He added
he was optimistic as the majority of the concerns expressed could be easily addressed
and he didn't think approaching this politically at this point was necessary.
Commissioner Eldridge asked if there were any studies available that addresses impact
to the wildlife. Kornelis wasn't aware of any but would research it.
Bookey thought that a facilitator would be effective in keeping the lines of
communication open between the City and the various agencies in the attempt to
obtain the necessary permits and asked if anyone had any further suggestions to let
him know as he would take it back to Council at the next meeting.
MOTION:
Commissioner Eldridge MOVED to recommend approval of the additional $20,000 to
PND and Commissioner Rogers SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO
ORDERED.
