2004 Kenai River Personal Use Dipnet Fishery
The 2004 Dipnet Report includes this summ~ memo highlighting significant fishery observations, statistics,
expenses and recommendations for the 2005 dipnet fishery; activity reports of Police, Parks and Recreation,
and Public Works; and the Seasonal Enforcement Officer report detailing fishery observations, photos and
recommendations for enhancing the North and South beach dipnet fishery.
The dipnet fishery opened at 6am on Saturday, 7-10-04 and closed at midnight, Sunday, 7-31-04. Most
challenges associated with the fishery were anticipated and properly addressed by the City of Kenai during the
course of the fishery.
The Police Department hired two non-swom, unarmed Seasonal Enforcement Officers (SEOs) whose
scheduled shifts provided coverage 7 days a week during the fishery. The SEOs overlapped during the week
and worked cooperatively with Parks & Rec, City Dock personnel, and were assisted as needed by Patrol
Officers. The SEOs were respons~le for City Code enforcement (camping, parking, off-road vehicle
operations, ATV use). This year was the first m the SEO position for both of them.
The Department handled 203 dipnet-related calls for service, compared to 38 in 2001, 49 in 2002, and 49 m
2003. The 49 calls for service in 2003 were actually more, but the daily iron ranger change-outs (Officers
assisting Parks & Rec employees) were all logged under a single daily service call rather than individually
numbered. The 2004 calls for service included cash piCk-ups multiple times daffy from the three pay shacks,
plus iron ranger cash retrievals; Hit & Run complaints, illegal parking, complaints associated with campfires
and littering ATV & off-road vehicle operations, thievery, fights & disorderly conduct, and welfare checks.
The Department also investigated one water death/drowning of a North Beach dipnetter m the mouth of the
fiver, impounded 8 vehicles, issued 18 citations, and charged one person for negligent driving. A wrecker was
called to the North Beach/Kenai Avenue area at least 14 times, however, only 8 vehicles were impounded
because owners would often appear to move their illegally parked vehicles upon seeing police and a tow
truck.
Sworn Officers spent 31 hfs and SEOs spent 204 hours on dipnet-rehted activity. A Honda 4-wheeler was
again provided by the Kenai River Center and used extensively by the SEOs for patrolling the South Beach,
Kenai Avenue, and the area north of S. Spruce extended on the North Beach.

~ Labor costs are for both SEO's
-' Patrol cars, the Dept. pickup, and 4-wheeler were the equipment expenditures
for the fishery. The costs incurred in this category would reflect fuel consumption
by the vehicles; driving to/from pay shacks, City Hall, police station, Kenai Avenue,
and up & down the beaches on the ATV, and possibly idling time at any of the
mentioned locations. With this in mind, an estimate of use would range from as
little as 30 gallons to upwards of 100 gallons of gasoline.
KENAI POLICE DEPARTMENT
2004 Concerns and Considerations for 2005
Although signage was more streamlined than years previous, the multiplicity of signs, sizes and locations still
proved confusing to dipnetters who were "first timers" or who only come to Kenai once a year, for the
fishery. A master signboard for the North and South beaches would serve as a focal point for dipnetters to
review Kenai Mumc:Pal Code ordinances, dipnet fishery regulations, and park/camp fees. Individual signs
would still be necessary to mark beach access points, handicap parking, and areas prohibited to vehicular
traffic. Ideally, this signboard would be located at the pay shacks, where attendants could give out
information and answer questions related to the fishery while collecting fees.
A stogie-sheet "paxking areas" map would be a quick reference guide for the pay shack people to distribute to
amving drivers; this information could also be added to the website and media outlets. An enlarged version
of this suggested map could be weatherproofed and posted on a master signboard, the outside of the pay
shacks, and other places frequented by out-of-town dip netters.
Paid Par 'lune
A huge increase in compliance was seen this year as a result of installation of manned pay shacks that made it
very convenient for motorists to pay as they amved and receive up-to-the-minute parking conditions, fish
reports, and other information. On the North beach (S. Spruce), particularly on weekends, the parking lot
filled quickly and those arriving later tended to either park at the little league fields, or along the curb near the
Catholic church/Anchor Trailer Court/Little League park. Some drove on the beach N of the access point
(S. Spruce extended) if they had 4WD, and shack attendants reported some motorists simply left because
there was no room. Police and S EO contacted many motorists m the S. Spruce parking area because they
parked their primary vehicle in one spot, and their trailer and/or other equipment in the next spot (but only
paid for one spot); all of those contacted either paid for the 2"~ spot or moved stuff to make it available.
Either as a result of a full parking lot or personal convemence, several motorists parked on the gravel beach
access pad, blocking to/from access for other beach drivers and commercial set-netters hauling fish/gear on
& off the beach. Tow trucks cleared the area, and some drivers complained there were no stgns prohibiting
parking there, while others claimed they'd been told by pay shack personnel that it was okay for them to park
there.
A prepaid punch card or season pass Would offer cash-handling reliefi A transferable punch card/pass would
be handy for families or groups and a window decal issued with the pass would save time at the pay shack
and on parking enforcement.
Rcstrogm~
There ,*'ere minimal complaints regarding full, overflowing or inadequate number of port-a-pomes. ?m
outhouse should be placed near the South Beach pay shack for employees' use. The existing permanent
restroom at the junction of S. Spruce/Kenai Ave. could be replaced by a fire & vandal-resistant concrete
toilet for about $24,000. The removed structure could be re-installed at another location (park, playground,
camping area). The existing structure was periodically vandalized not only during the dipnet fishery, but
other times of the year as well; it was burned, wood cut/pulled off, and Plexiglas damaged.

KENAI POLICE DEPARTMENT
Cammn~
Tents were allowed on both beaches this year with a camping permit ($10/12hrs). This did not create
significant police issues, save recurmng trash problems and some difficulty with camping pemaits not secured
to the tent(s) in a conspicuous place.
Recurring problems with camping are litter, fires, and habitat damage. Several campers on the North Beach
set up between the Sewer Treatment plant and the high bluff below S. Forest/Toyon, and built fires ranging
in size from small heating/cooking fires to ragtag bonfires, which had potential for spreading to the grass and
other vegetation nearby. Continual police and SEO contact with these campers kept the fires controlled anck
when requested, people generally did not mind moving their fires further away from the vegetation or making
them smaller.
ATV use seems to increase each year and this year was no exception. There were more ATV complaints this
summer, primarily on the N. Beach, than previous years. Pay shack attendants were able to keep track of the
violators and provide relevant information to responding pohce/SEO, and more ATV riders were contacted;
repeat complaints regarding the same ATV were nil once they'd already been contacted.
DUmoster Service
Dumpster service to the North Beach will need to be doubled in frequency. Trash accumulated to an
unacceptable level in and around the North Beach dumpster on three separate days. Dumpster service to the
South Beach should be added to next years operational plan for the fishery'. See photos attached.
Traffic Congestion on Kenai Ave
This was not a problem except during mid-fishery weekends, with a flood of dipnetters arriving and leaving
within a small time frame. It was anticipated that a lot of vehicles would be on Kenai Ave to unload/load
their gear from the beach, and SEOs and police officers spent a lot of time maintaining traffic control,
impounding vehicles as applicable, to keep the process moving as smoothly as could be expected.
If the Kenai Avenue turnaround could be enlargened there would be more room for vehicles to maneuver.
An extension of Kenai Avenue would not have to encroach dm~es or wetlands, while achieving a greater area.
A circle drive at the end of Kenai Avenue would be ideal for creating 1-way traffic flow for
loading/unloading gear.
The biggest problem with Kenai Avenue is it is barely 2-1anes wide. If one vehicle parks on the W side,
against the concrete barriers, it bottlenecks traffic going both ways. Making pull-outs along Kenai Avenue
would create designated load/unload areas without blocking the throughway. Many people do not
load/unload at the turnaround because they dipnet up the beach (N) from the mouth of the river; it is more
convenient to carry their load straight to the dunes/Kenai Ave than to haul their stuff to the turnaround or
the beach access extension of S. Spruce.
For a more in depth review of the 2004 dipnet fishery, and photos, please review the departmental reports
included with this sutnmary memo.

informational sheet to help answer questions asked about the fishery.
Develops-
Here are some suggestions for improvements to the dip net fishery:
NORTH SIDE
Paving the area around the pay station and turn-a-round near the beach and the
parking lot at Municipal Park. This is being bid September 7. The rough estimate is
$18-26,000. If council approves, this project will come out of our Municipal Grants
Program fund.
Provide electrical power to the pay station for lights & heat and area lighting.
area lighting could be funded from the Municipal Grants Program fund.
Ithink
Not allow camping or fires on the beach from the Wastewater Treatment Plant (or S.
Spruce) to the high bluff area to the north.
Replace the existing old outhouse at the end of S. Spruce with a precast concrete
outhouse at cost of around $30,000. (Continue to use port a potties at the turn-a-round
on Alaska Ave. during the dip net season)
SOUTH SIDE
Survey the section line which is also the city limits and Old Cannery Road extension.
This should be done now since beach access may have to change next year.
Furnish a dumpster and a port-a-potty at the pay station and dumpsters on the beach.
DOCK
Replace culvert under Boat Launch Road. This needs to be the top priority since we
could lose the road anytime. ($18,000). Could use Municipal Matching Grant funds.
Build a Dock Exit Road and additional parking. Public Works is working on a land trade
for this road. Could use Municipal Matching Grant funds since it will be an improvement
to a transportation route.
Build a right turn lane on Bridge Access Road from a new Dock Exit Road going south
into Boat Launch Road. The city would need DOT approval. Could use Municipal
Matching Grant funds.
Pave the staging area in front of the restrooms and launch area and improve area
lighting.
Add two additional launch ramps and floats (have $350,000 grant). Working on design.

Parks Dip Net Report- 2004
The biggest change for the Parks & Recreation Dept. from previous fisheries was the
purchase and staffing of the dip net pay shacks. Shack attendants started the evening of
Friday, July 9th in preparation for the season opener on July 10th. Shacks were staffed
17.5 hours each day from July l0th through July 20t~ and 24 hours from July 21 ~t through
July 31st. Parks. & Recreation also provided three (3) attendants to work at the City Dock
during evening hours and weekends.
The Parks & Recreation Department provided shack attendant training and participated
with Finance, Public Works, and Police on providing additional procedural training. The
money handling procedures developed by Finance worked reasonably well. Shack
attendant security is still a lingering concem, however, cell phones and frequent visits by
KPD officers alleviated fears. Consideration could be given to providing alternative and
convenient ways for people to pay, thus, eliminating some of the cash accumulation at the
shacks. Although the fee structure was fairly self-explanatory, some discussion could be
given to simplifying the fee structure.
The weekends of the 17th and 24th were extremely busy for shack attendants, particularly
on the north side. Vehicle congestion during these weekends prompted us to staff
additional help on the north side to assist with traffic control. The parking lot couldn't
accommodate the amount of vehicle traffic during these times and warranted extra help.
Litter~ Fish Waste~ and Sanitation
Many dip netters disregarded the "pack it in pack it out" policy on the south beach, thus,
prompted daily checks from the parks crew. Shop Maintenance placed oversized tires on
the trash truck making traveling the beach access much easier. Most of the trash
collected was not loose trash, but rather bagged and piled near the restrooms. Dumpster
services on the north side were increased by one day over last season in order to meet the
service demand. The fish waste dumpsters were used only moderately with most fish
waste left on the beach. The Parks crew raked the beach after the fishery and was able to
get it reasonably free of fish carcasses. .
Thanks to the Boys & Girls Club, participants with Project Protect and ALPAR assisted
with litter pickup and protection of the dunes once a week. The youth in these programs
worked hard, took tremendous pride in their accomplishments, and enjoyed themselves
every step of the way.
Portable restrooms were again provided on the north and south side and were serviced
daily. Restrooms were able to meet demand and no problems were reported back from
Al Gagnon and Sons.
Sand Dune Protection
With assistance from Project Protect, sand from the raised walkways was removed prior
to the fishery, old barrier fencing replaced, and Project Protect signs put in place. Barrier
fencing was also added on the south side, including signs. As part of their project,
barriers were maintained every Thursday, in addition to, keeping beaches clean and
speaking to people about their efforts.
Post Clean-up Activities,
As previously mentioned, the north beach was raked following the fishery. Project
Protect, ALPAR, and City crews also made a final sweep of the beaches. The associated
dumpsters, portable restrooms, and fish waste dumpsters were also removed immediately
following the fishery.
Considerations for Next Season
Season Pass:
A season pass or punch card system would allow people to pay in advance, lessen the
amount of cash handling by shack attendants, and be more convenient for some users.
Electrical:
Adding temporary electricity to the north side shack would provide better lighting and
security for attendant.
South Side Portable Restroom & Dumpsters:
A portable restroom near pay shack should be added for attendant's use. Due to amount
of use and accumulated trash on the south side, a system to provide and service
dumpsters on the south beach should be explored.
North Side Permanent Restroom:
Consideration should be given to replace the existing restroom at the end of Spruce
Street. Existing restroom could be relocated to another area, perhaps Municipal Park.
Other suggestions include some paving at the end of Spruce Street, surveying of the
section-line easement off Old Cannery Road, and no fires north of the beach access at the
end of Spruce Street.

Re:
2004 Kenai River Dip Net Fishery
The reformation included in this report is a summary of the Personal Use Dip Net Fishery that
took place at the mouth of the Kenai R/ver beginning on Saturday, July 10 and concluding on
Saturday, July 31.
The fishery opened on Saturday, July 10 at 0600. To start, the fishery was only open between
0600-2300. This was the first year that the City of Kenai placed pay booths on both the North
and South beaches. The pay booths opened on Friday, July 9 and were fairly busy collecting
from dip netters staying the night for the 0600 opener. The pay booths collected $10 for 12
hours parking and $10 for 12 hours camping. The pay booths alleviated many problems fi'om
the last several years. There were only a few cases of people failing to pay. It was generally
done while the pay booths were closed and was due to confusion. The Seasonal Enforcement
Officers (SEOs) did not issue any citations for failing to pay during the 2004 dip net fishery.
The City also limited access to the South beach to the Dunes Road access; concrete bamers
were put in place at the beach access point off' the end of Cannery Road.
The first week of the fishery was fairly busy. SEOs spent most of their time on the North
beach controlling parking, controlling traffic on Kenai Avenue, and citing people for operating
vehicles in the prohibited area South of the South Spruce beach access point. The parking lot
was full but didn't exceed its capacity. Seasonal Enforcement Officers impounded 5 vehicles
for illegally parking and issued 4 dip net related citations.
SEOs spent time at the South beach checking pay receipts; however, due to blocking the
Cannery Road access and placing a pay booth on Dunes Road there were very few problems
with people failing to pay.
On Saturday, July 17 there was a considerable increase of people and vehicles on both the
North and South beaches. SEOs spent the majority of their shifts keeping traffic moving on
Kenai Avenue. By early afternoon the north beach parking lot was full and vehicles went to
the Kenai Little League Fields to park. People also began parking outside the concrete parking
medians blocking traffic in the parking lot. SEOs were able to keep this under control by
placing orange traffic cones at the end of eacla paricing row. Pay booth attendants also helped
keep this under control by infommag people not to park-outside the orange cones.
Considerable time was also spent keeping the South Spruce beach access point open. People
were attempting to use the access point to load and unload dip netting gear. People were also
parking in the prohibited area on the beach North from South Spruce to the sewer treatment
plant. This caused vehicles that were tryfi'ng to exit the beach to get stuck in the sand. There
were times when this area was so congested it would have been impossible to get an
ambulance down to the beach had there been an emergency. When SEOs left the area vehicles
would continue to park in this area.
On Sunday, July 18 the number of vehicles stayed about the same for the majority of the day.
SEOs dedicated the majority of their time to the North beach on the same problems. Some
time was spent at the south beach; however, the dip netters seemed to police themselves fairly
well there. During late evening the majority of dip netters left both the North and South
beaches, this caused a lot of congestion on Kenai Avenue. The rest of this week through
Friday, July 23 was fairly slow and for the most part was limited to local residents and
required less attention fi'om SEOs. Seasonal Enforcement Officers impounded 4 vehicles and
issued 1 dip net related citation during this first week.
On Tuesday, July 20 there was an Alaska Department of Fish and Game emergency order,
which opened the dip net fishery to 24-hour dip netting. This alleviated the problem on Kenai
Avenue of every body trying to leave at the 2300 closure. This made it possible for SEOs to
patrol the South beach later in the evemng.
Throughout the second week SEOs received multiple complaints of ATV use fi'om people on
the South beach. People indicated that when law enforcement was not present the ATVs were
out of control. They explained that juveniles were tiding at high rates of speed through
campsites and the majority of them were not weahng helmets. People were mainly concemed
about the ATVs colliding with pedestrians. Accordingly, SEOs increased their presence on the
South beach, particularly in the late evenings.
On Saturday, July 24 there was again an increase in vehicles and people on both beaches that
lasted through Sunday, July 25. The increase, however, was not as large as the previous
weekend. People were more manageable but still required constant policing. SEOs continued
to spend the majority of their time at the North beach but continued to maintain a strong
presence at the South beach to keep ATV use under control.
The rest of the week through Saturday, July 31 remained busy and SEOs continued to deal
with the same problems. SEOs also assisted in collecting envelopes from the iron ranger on
the South beach through out the entire dip net fishery. Seasonal Enforcement Officers
impounded 5 vehicles and issued 9 dip net related citations during this week.
SEOs made occasional stops at the Kenai City Docks. There was a large problem with traffic
getting backed up fi'om the pay shack to the highway. There was not a lot that could be done
Page 2
about this problem. SEOs did make a fi:w contacts with people illegally c~m3ing in the area
and also contacted several people that failed to pay for ~arking.
SEOs spent a total of 204 hours on dip net related activities during the 2004 dip net fishery,
167 hours at the North beach and 37 hours at the South beach. SEOs also responded to or
initiated 56 dip net related calls for service.
SPECIFIC OBSERVATIONS AND CONCERNS
OVERALL
The biggest change overall between this year and previous years was the placement of
manned pay shacks at both the North and South beaches. This made the job as S EOs much
easier and allowed us to be more efficient with our time and energy. This was detem~ed to
be a great success and it is suggested that this method be continued in future years. The
majority of people contacted felt that the $10 fee (for every 12 hours of parking/camping) was
reasonable and fair. Over 95% of the people complied with the $10 fee, and displayed their
permit properly on their vehicles. Camping permits were much more difficult to check. Most
people that were camping were normally down dip netting and away from their campsites.
This made it difficult to know who to contact as the campsites were lef~ unattended.
NORTH BEACH
Because of lack of space and parking, the North beach usually needed much more attention
from SEOs than the South beach did. Consistently throughout the first two weeks of dip
netting, even during the weekdays, the parking lot was anywhere from 75%-90% full, with the
first three Saturdays reaching full capacity. During the last week of the season traffic was
consistent, but most days the parking lot was only about 50%-60% full. Most of the heavy
traffic on the weekends would arrive Friday evening and begin to disperse by Sunday moming
or early afternoon. There was a deflate increase in problems and municipal code violations
on the weekends, relative to greater numbers of people at both beaches. Many of the citations
we wrote and vehicles we impounded were for failure to read or see signs already posted
either on the beach or on Kenai Avenue.
One large problem that existed on the North beach was moving vehicles that were parked on
the beach between the beach access point and the North end of the sewer treatment plant.
There was only one sign posted on the left side of the access point stating, "All vehicles must
proceed North beyond the sewer treatment plant". Approximately 90% of the people
contacted who were parked illegally in this area on the beach said that they did not see a sign
that would prohibit them from parking there. The majority of them were happy to comply with
this regulation and quickly moved their vehicles beyond the sewer treamaent plant. One
suggestion that could help alleviate this problem in the future is to rethink where the sign is
posted at the beach access point, and also how it is worded. Secondly, more signs could be
posted on either side of the beach access point. Thirdly, signs could be posted along that
stretch of beach prohibiting parking.
Page 3
Another problem related to the previous one is that of dip neners camping and setting up tents
in the area between the beach access point and the sewer treatment plant. Many groups and
families were asked to move fi'om these spots. The common response received fi'om them
was, "There wasn't a sign posted saying "No Camping", so we didn't think it was a problem".
One suggestion would be, that the area between the beach access point and the sewer
treatment plant be closed completely to camping as well as parking of vehicles, and that area
be used only for vehicle to access on and off the beach and for pedestrians. One way to
enforce this is to place signs along the dunes in this area saying "No Camping". Second,
possibly place a sign at the beach access point prohibiting camping until past the sewer
treatment plant.
Another point of confusion that the general public had about the North beach parking lot was
the signs indicating, "parking/camping is not to exceed 12 hours in a 24 hour period. There
were only two days out of the entire dip net fishery season in 2004 where this regulation
needed to be enforced; Saturday, July 17, and Saturday, July 24.
Some other suggestions to improve things at the North beach would be to better specify where
RVs are allowed to park within the parking lot, and to paint lines desi~mqating each RV spot
throughout the lot. There were groups of people taking two and three spots in the RV section,
preventing other RV's from parking there, and being able to use the beach for dip netting
purposes. This would also help alleviate the concern that there are not enough RV spots in the
North beach parking lot.
Another suggestion having to do with RVs is to designate at least two handicap RV spaces.
The current spaces for handicap parking don't allow enough room for an RV to park, without
blocking other traffic.
As a whole the traffic on Kenai Avenue moved pretty steadily throughout the three-week
season. The only times traffic became a serious problem was when the fishery closed at 2300
hours, before it was opened to 24 hours, and also between tides when the fishing had died
down. A large problem encountered on Kenai Avenue was that the majority of the people did
not understand how Kenai Avenue was supposed to be used, and they did not know the time
limit they had to unload.
A lot of time spent by SEO's on Kenai Avenue was spent explaining to people how they could
more efficiently come down, load/unload their gear, and move their vehicle offKenai Avenue.
A couple of suggestions on how to alleviate some of these problems on Kenai Avenue would
be, to first post a sign stating the time limit dip netters have to load/unload on Kenai Avenue.
For example: "10 minute loading/unloading zone only". A second suggestion would be to
place an explanation in the pamphlet given out to dip net users, outlining the correct loading
and unloading procedures and guidelines for the usage of vehicles on Kenai Ave.
· Page 4
SOUTH BEACH
Everybody on the South beach seemed to police themselves rather well and the majority of the
people displayed their parking pemfits in clear view. Having the pay shack at the entrance to
the South beach on Dunes Rd. was a great success. The percentage of people complying with
the $10 fee increased dramatically from last year to this year, by just having a manned pay
shack at the beach entrance. Everything seemed to go very smoothly on the South beach
throughout the three-week fishery and needed much less attention from SEOs than did the
North beach.
The only real concern that became a problem on the South beach was the use of ATVs.
There were multiple complaints of reckless driving of ATVs throughout camps and the dip
netting areas on South beach. The majority of violators were juveniles whose parents were not
policing their children. There were also several complaints with juvemles riding ATVs
without helmets. Those juveniles that SEOs came in contact with were warned and advised of
the municipal codes they were in violation of. There are no suggestions on how to remedy this
problem, other than to make constant patrols on the South beach throughout the dip net fishery
season.

ADDENDUM'TO DIP NET FISHERY REPORT
Warming/Campfires and Camping on the Beach
As noted in the report presented to Council September 15, 2004 and in the citizen concern at
Council about campfires on the beach, the dip net fishery brings change to our beaches each year. The
influx of people due to the accessibility and popularity of the fishery will likely continue to grow and
require reasonable, controlled accommodation by the City for camping and camp fires.
KMC 18.35.010(b) authorizes the City Manager to designate camping areas and for Council to
establish camping fees, and outlines limits for camping in a designated area.
Consideration should be given to establishing boundaries for these areas on the beach that
exclude areas near dunes or other sensitive areas, and adjacent to the bluff due to the concern of the
spread of camp fires to residemial and historical areas atop the bluff.
During the fishery camp fires should be limited to approved fire pits. These can be fire tings
made of culverts or pipe. Each fire ring should be spaced on the beach to provide use by several camp
sites, could be placed by Parks or Public works permanemly or seasonally. They may require periodic
debris removal, and should be set into the ground to resist theft and vandalism and to withstand
occasional extreme tide changes.
Establishing these fire tings should cause people to gravitate to them rather than moving down
the beach. Where an approved camping area has no fire ring for some reason, commercial camp
fireplaces could be required. These are portable, screened fireplaces that are restricted to small fires due
their size and construction, and are readily available for public purchase at The Home Depot,
Carr's/Safeway, Three Bears and other retailers in Kenai.
When properly posted that cooking and wanning fires are allowed only in approved fire pits and
9/30/2004
that open ground fires are prohibited, a reduction in-ground fires should be realized, and those
that do occur could likely be cited, with the responsible party, being charged with a KMC violation, and
possibly a misdemeanor:
AS 41.15.100. Setting Fires Without Consent.
A person who sets on fire timber, brash, grass, or other inflammable material located or growing
on land that is not owned, possessed, or controlled by the person, without the consent of the
owner or lawful occupant of the land. is guilty of a misdemeanor.
Establishing restrictions within certain distances of the bluff would also be reasonable. Other
than during this fishery, most groups using the beach for picnics or gatherings request a bum permit
noting the responsible party, size and duration of the fire, etc. The bum permit process prohibits fires
within 25 feet of structures and wooded areas. Alaska Administrative Codes define wooded areas as
being those that include trees, grass, brash or other vegetation or groundcover than may catch fire.
The shear quantity of people using the beach during the fishery removes all feasibility, of an
individual permit process, and allowing each person to dig a campfire pit will create a debris field and
potholes across the beach.
Establishing restricted and approved areas for camping and campfires, and providing approved
fire rings would essentially create a blanket permit within the boundaries that would serve the CiW well
all year round, and should reduce the haphazard use of the beach for camping and fires. Posting this
inf~)rmation With signs and in pamphlets should be notice enough to allow citation and/or eviction of
violators. The KMC already prohibits burning of trash regardless of where it is.
For private property, KMC 13.10.060 requires sanitary thcilities tbr camping on private property..
and specifies that users must have written permission of the owner, and requires sanitary facilities be
adequate in quantity and located within a reasonable proximity of the camping area.
On public land for this fishery the City provides sanitary facilities and provides permission when
a fee is paid by a user. It seems reasonable that the City could use these parameters for public property
when designating camping and fire ring sites.
During the 2004 fishery, the Kenai Fire Department responded to extinguish two campfires (both
on N. beach), one drowning, one broken leg, and to perform a welfare check on two Coast Guard
personnel repairing NavAid equipment at the mouth of the fiver near the N. beach.
Respectfully submitted,
Scott Walden. Fire Chief

Kenai Harbor Commission
Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission
Klm Howard, Assistant to the City Manager
Tracts 5 & 6, Shore Fishery Plat No. 71
Randy Canady is the lessee for Tracts 5 & 6, Shore Fishery Plat No. 71. The lease will expire on June
30, 2005. Covenant 42 of the lease includes a "preference fight to re-lease those lands previously leased
by him if all other sections of the Kenai Municipal Code are complied with. Re-leasing will not
necessarily be under the same terms and conditions of the prior lease." Mr. Canady has informed the
City that he would like to renew his lease under this clause.
One of the duties of the Harbor Commission as outlined in KMC 11.10.010 (5) is to review leases of
City-owned fide, submerged, and lands or navigable waters within the City and make recommendations
to the City Council.
KMC 11.20.140 states, '2qo leased land may be changed in use, nor may any renewal lease be issued
until the proposed use or renewal has been reviewed by the Planning Commission and approved by the
Council."
Historically, shore fishery leases have been renewed on the basis that the lessees had fished the sites for
many years. As in the past, the proposed term of the lease would be for ten years. Annual rent shall be
$300 for each lrae~ however, the City may amend the annual rent equal to that charged by the State of
Alaska, if that amount should change during the term of the lease. The State of Alaska doesn't expect to
increase their rents in the near furore.
Attach~ are maps of our shore fishery leases and a spreadsheet identifying the lesseeS, the legal
descriptions and the expiration dates.
Please review the attaeh~ and make a recommendation regarding Mr. Canady's lease renewal for the
Council' s consideration for their meeting of March 16th.
