OLD BUSINESS
Discussion -- Kenai Coastal Trail Project
Director Kornelis informed the Commission of a recently received email from the Army
Corps of Engineers regarding a draft scope of work and an economic analysis of
stabilizing the bluff.
Councilman Bookey inquired as to specifics of the economic analysis mentioned in the
email. Kornelis stated he was unsure of the criteria the Corps is using in establishing
an economic feasibility study. To date, the draft has not yet been received, but the
Commission will be informed when it is.
Discussion -- Dock Restrictions
Kornelis requested the Commission briefly review a copy of the Bureau of Land
Management land deed for the area around the Kenai Dock; this deed has many
restrictions and allows only for small boat landing. Councilman Bookey informed the
Commission of past efforts to establish more uses in the area (outboard motor repair,
refreshment vendors, etc), and all requests have been denied.
Discussion -- Kenai City Council Resolution Supporting a Separated
Pathway Along Bridge Access Road.
Kornelis informed the Commission of four minor changes in the verbiage of Resolution
2002-28 reaffirming its support of the State of Alaska DOT/PF in its effort to properly
construct a safe, separated pedestrian and bike path along the Bridge Access Road.
Councilman Bookey informed the Commission of the passage of this resolution at the
July 3, 2002 Council meeting.

7-a. Director-- Kornelis reported on the following:
· Dip netting is opening Wednesday, July 7, 2002 from 6 am to 11 pm.
· The new Dock Rate Schedule went into effect on dune 24, 2002. An Iron
Ranger will be placed at the parking area and a charge off $10.00 for launching and
$5.00 per extra vehicle will be collected and monitored by Kenai Dock employees,
Police Officers, and seasonal Parks and Recreation employees. The money collected
will go largely to paying for Port-a-Potties. Additional attention will be given to the
South Side area to help avert any concerns with the new rate schedule.
The used-oil dumping fee is $1.00 per gallon. Kornelis stated that if the
