Freas, City Clerk ., r~, From: Dale Sandahl, Chair, Parks & Reareation Commission;,/ Tom Thompson, Chair, Harbor Commission Date: January 8, 2007 A combined commission work session was held. on Monday, January 8 between the Harbor Commission and the Parks & Recreation Commission. Purpose of the meeting was as outlined in the January 2, 2007 memo. The following were recommendations from the members present: 1. The disparities between the two commissions responsibilities are significant and as a result the commissions should not be combined. Z. Consideration should be given to adding Beautification to Parks and Recreation. 3. Meetings for both commissions should be scheduled quarterly. Should special meetings be required they may be scheduled. Consideration should be given to a joint meeting or work session between the two commissions at the spring or summer quarterly meetings to discuss pertinent overlapping issues regarding summer activities on the lower river. The intent of the recommendations especially number 3 above is to: 1. Energize both groups with meaningful material. 2. Provide for meaningful full agendas. 3. Attract more qualified potential commissioners as a result of quarterly meetings and meaningful agendas. 4. Commissioners present have interest in serving on their respective commissions but may not have an interest or knowledge to deal with the commission on the other side of the aisle. We hope the results of this work session will help you in your deliberations. Incidentally, it appeared and was stated that all commissioners came to the meeting with open minds, which was important as they realize changes are needed.

The Kenai River 'Special Management Area (KRSMA) Advisory Board has a long history of concern over ' ' rater quality in the Kenai River. In fact, the KRSMA Advisory Board sponsored and endorsed the water quality studies that revealed the exceedences, After receiving briefings from DEC and the Kenai Watershed Forum, and after receiving public input, The KRSMA Advisory Board endorses the listing of the Kenai River as impaired subject to the provisions and limitations discussed in this letter. The KRSMA Advisory Board believes it is important to accurately describe the short duration and limited geographic area involved with the exceedences in order to develop remedial measures which solve the problem with minimal adverse impacts on user groups. As we understand the facts, the exceedences involve an undetermined number of days during July when sport fishing for king salmon is at its peak and angler effort is highest. The exceedences occur on days with the greatest concentration of motorized boats are fishing for king salmon and particularly during flood tides when the flow in the river is backed up. We understand that the hydrocarbon pollution is the direct result of discharge from outboard motors and the problem has worsened over the last six years. The area affected is the portion of the river from Mile 19 to the mouth of the river. We further understand that the July personal use fishery for sockeye salmon at the mouth of the river (outside the KRSMA boundary) contributes to the problem. Notwithstanding the short duration and limited area of the problem, the KRSMA Advisory Board believes that the hydrocarbon pollution is a serious problem which rust be eliminated as quickly as feasible. During our last meeting on November 9, :006 a DEC representative estimated a Total Daily Maximum Load (TDML) would not Kenai Area Office, PO Boz 1247, Soldotna.

This time frame is wholly unacceptable to the Board: Accordingly, the KRSMA Advisory Board initiated a public process to develop action steps to alleviate the problem more expediently. In, fact, the Board has already taken several affirmative steps that should help alleviate the hydrocarbon problem. In 2005, the Board endorsed the buy back program for older two cycle outboards. In April and September 2006, the Board asked the DNR to ban outboards not complying with 2006 EPA standards (mostly two-cycle outboards) in 2008. In October 2006, the board formed a special committee to accept public input and develop plans to reduce hydrocarbon emissions with recommendations to be completed by spring 2007. The KRSMA. Advisory Board appreciates that other difficult steps will be necessary to fully resolve the problem. To that end, the KRSMA Advisory Board is committed to working diligently on this problem and invites active participation of the DEC, ADFBvG, the Cities of Kenai and Soldotna to work with the Board and DNR. By working together and sharing information, the Board and the agencies can move expeditiously to help preserve the habitat of the Kenai River and its unique fishery that is important to all Alaskans. If you have any questions, lease feel free to contact the Board.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, that KMC 11.05.090, entitled "Use of Launch Ramp and Float," is amended by adding the following section: (fl effective May 1, 2007, the use of the City of Kenai Municipal Boat Launch is limited to vessels/boats powered by four-cycle or direct injection two-cycle engines. PASSED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, this 20th day of December, 2006. PAT PORTER, MAYOR Substitute Ordinance No. 2202-2006 Page 2 ATTEST: Carol L. Freas, City Clerk Introduced: December 6, 2006 Adopted: December 20, 2006 Effective: May 1, 2007, 2006 aDG~C~OG3~ ~3COQ~© November 20, 2006 Bi11 Smyth Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation 610 University Ave. Fairbanks, AK 99709 Re: Development in the Kenai River Corridor Dear Mr. Smyth: The Kenai River Special Management Area (KRSMA) Advisory Board has supported water quality monitoring studies on the Kenai River for many years by the Kenai Watershed Forum and the Department of Environmental Conservation. Those studies have resulted in the recent proposal for listing a portion of the Kenai River as impaired for hydrocarbons according to Section 303(b) 5 of the Federal Clean Water Act. The KRSMA Board has responded to that proposal under a separate letter. However, those 'water quality studies also revealed a serious issue of fecal coliform pollution in portions of the river which is not adequately addressed. This letter requests the DEC take immediate and appropriate action to investigate sources of fecal coliform and potential sources of such contamination in order to protect the Kenai River. The KRSMA Board believes that continued unchecked development in the floodplain poses equal or potentially greater risks than seasonal hydrocarbon issues. In addition to evidence of fecal coliform in the water quality studies, the KRSMA Board has viewed with alarm the seemingly unfettered developments adjacent to the Kenai River which, in the board's view, have or may have inadequate sewage systems or systems that are vulnerable to flooding since they are located within the floodplain. In particular, the Board is concerned over the continuing development of a recent subdivision which has a sewage lagoon contained with an earthen dike within the floodplain. We understand that the DEC no longer inspects residential sewage systems, whether they are single lots or major subdivisions, and therefore did not review and approve plans or inspect the construction of the open sewage lagoon for this subdivision. We learned that there are several planned developments which we expect will have similar, and in our view, inadequate and dangerous sewage systems. All of these subdivisions are in the floodplain and our collective experience is that sewage lagoons are going to be flooded thereby flushing the sewage directly into the river. The great risk to the health of the river and its inhabitants is not being addressed.

Frates, Parks & Recreation Directo~`~' Date: February 5, 2007 RE: Quarterly Meetings A joint work session was held Monday, January 8 between the Harbor Commission and the Parks & Recreation Commission. The purpose of this work session was to discuss whether or not the two commissions should combine. The result of that meeting was a recommendation that the two commissions not be combined due to significarrt disparities. Furthermore, it was recommended that the Harbor Commission meet quarterly and that consideration should be given to a joint meeting or work session between the two commissions at the spring or summer quarterly meetings to discuss important issues related to activities on the lower river. Is the Harbor Commission still in favor of quarterly meetings? If so, please review the following meeting schedule for discussion purposes at our Fehruary 12 meeting: January, April, July, and October. This schedule should allow ample time to review budget matters and discuss lower Kenai River issues.
