ITEM 4: PERSONS SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD -- None ITEM 5: OLD BUSINESS Discussion -- Kenai Coastal Trail Update Kornelis reported he attended a meeting with the Army Corps of Engineers, Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G), and City of Kenai administration members. Komelis detailed the following: · A Corps of Engineers meeting was held and a baseline survey on invertebrates, plankton, birds, and other marine life was discussed. The Corps has formulated a tentative work plan, which is broken into three studies' biological, hydrology, and sedimentation. Komelis stated he felt the Corps is very supportive of City of Kenai administration and the bluff erosion project; though the Alaska Department of Fish and Game seemed less enthusiastic and helpful. · ADF&G stated it could take as long as three years to complete and compile the biological survey. Komelis stated he and the Corps of Engineers strongly encouraged them to complete it sooner, as this project has been ongoing for years and should be made a priority. Additionally, Komelis stated ADF&G should try to conduct and complete any wintertime studies now, as the Kenai River is still ice-flee. · Councilman Bookey stated he has a meeting scheduled with Phil North, a member of the ADF&G, to discuss and clarify some of the statements made at the meeting. Bookey stated he also felt ADF&G was not cooperative in proceeding with the project. · Commissioner Simon suggested sending a letter to the Director of the EPA as a complaint against the ADF&G, specifically Phil North, citing unprofessional conduct. Simon stated she feels this, as well as any past resistance, should be documented and brought to the attention of top EPA officials, Governor Murkowksi, and Senator Stevens. Councilman Bookey stated that any and all correspondence should come from City Council itself, if and when Council deems it necessary. At this point concerning this issue, Bookey stated he felt a letter would be premature and aggressive. · The Corps of Engineers is very supportive and a studies timetable should be ready by March 2003.
