· R&J Seafoods is operating the leased dock spaces with cranes.
· There are pay stations on the north and south beaches as well as the
dock.
· The Old Cannery Road exit has been closed during the season because of

· At the last council meeting, a bucket truck was purchased and an airport

working on funding for the Kenai Coastal Trail project.

the Pacific Star project.
Commissioner J. Barrett reported he attended the Kenai Landing opening.
