Leif Hansen Memorial Park Proposal
In Memory of Helen Turnage
Proposed by:
Aaron Turnage and Angela Schreiner
July 10, 2001
Any Questions Call Angela Schreiner at 776-8784
Leif Hansen Memorial Park Proposal
As children of Helen Tumage, we would like to dedicate a memorial to our
mother's memory. As a special women and an involved member of the Kenai
community we would like to make a special dedication in her name. Leif Hansen
MemoriaI Park is at the center and heart of Kenai. The memodal we would like
to propose is similar to the Thomson Memorial already Iocat. ed on the East end
of the Park. We are proposing a rock memorial be placed in the park as a
dedication to Helen Tumage. The family has already reserved plaques to
surround our mother's memorial.
Our first pmp, osed site would be inside the sidewalk circle of section D.
On the map it is marked proposed site A. There are however some concern with
the power lines and regulations involved with moving the rock to that location. If
the site is not a possible choice we would then chose proposed site B. This is
located outside circle section D on the west end of the park. This second site is
located near a few small shrubs and a spruce tree. We considered this site for
its' peace and natural beauty. This second proposed site is also a good spot due
to the natural harmony of the rock memorial and surrounding vegetation. We ask
that one of these possible sites would be considered.
We have been able to take some pictures of the area and possible rocks
to use for the memorial. As of now we are considering a rock that would be
about 1 1/2 to 2 feet in height, with a fiat surface to attach the plaque.
We would like to thank you for your time this evening and ask that our
memorial dedication to Helen Tumage be considered. Thank you again.

July 19, 2001
Cunningham Park
I was recently informed by Chris Degemes (Department of Natural Resources)
that DNR is interested in constructing a boat launch facility for the lower Kenai
River. Due to a variety of identified problems, the parcel originally pursued is no
longer being considered. However, DNR is now looking at four (4) lots
downstream and adjacent to Cunningham Park.
Furthermore, Chris stated that DNR would be interested in the purchase and
construction of the proposed property and then potentially releasing the property
to the City of Kenai for the maintenance and management operations.
I asked Chris to draft a letter and forward it to yourself and the Kenai City
Council. I also suggested that she appear before the City Council on August 1 in
order to present an update. It would be appropriate for both the Harbor
Commission and the Parks & Recreation Commission to be involved should this
project move forward.

Kenai City Council

Kenai, AK 99611
Re' August 1 CounCil Meeting - Briefing
Dear Council Members:
During this past legislative session, the capital budget included an appropriation to the
Department of Natural Resources for $350.0 to purchase a parcel of land located several
lots upstream from Cunningham Park (Tract 1, Horseshoe End at River Bend
Subdivision). The legislature directed DNR to purchase these lands and construct a boat
launch access facility for the lower Kcnai River.
In discussing this issue with the Kenai River Special Management Area Advisory Board,
other resource agency staff members and interested members of the public, there were a
number of concerns identified with the identified parcel. Concerns about wetland
impacts and the fact that another public access facility was located so close were the
predominant issues.
More recently, discussions have centered upon the block of four parcels within the Wild
Rose Subdivision (Lots 3-6) that. are on the market currently. These parcels are located
immediately downstream from Cunningham Park. Since we are in the very beginning
stages of the discussion, I thought it would be appropriate to discuss some ideas with the
City of Kcnai leadership before this process moves any further. During your City
Council meeting on August 1, I would like to discuss with you the idea of a boat launch
facility on the lands downstream from Cunningham Park.
In discussing some of the pros and cons of any new access facility on the Kenai River,
there are a number of issues that I think should be carefully considered. Here are a few
of the issues that I'd l!ke to discuss with you at your meeting:
Is them a need for a new access facility on the lower Kenai River?
How would a new access facility benefit or impact existing recreational users or
nearby private property owners?
July 16, 2001
Page 2 of 2
· What are the environmental impacts of a new facility, such as impacts on fish or
wildlife habitat, wetland involvement, condition of the existing riverbank, etc.?
· Which' land management entity is best suited to manage a new facility, and are
operating funds available to ensure the site's appropriate management?
I look forward to spending a few moments with you at the meeting to discuss this idea.
Sincerely,
Chris Degemes
Kenai Area Park Supt.

Proposed 2001 Foreclosure Sale
The City is planning a sale of approximately fourteen parcels of foreclosed
properties. Some parcels were foreclosed by the Borough for taxes and
subsequently deeded to the City. Others were foreclosed by the City for special
assessments.
Attached please find a list of those parcels and accompanying maps. Review
these properties and make a determination if any parcels are needed for public
purpose.

PERSONS SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD
,
4-a. Aaron Turnage- - Tumage Memorial Proposal
Aaron Tumage and other members of the Tumage family presented the Committee
with a proposal to add a stone monument in the Left Hansen Memorial Park. The
memorial would be to commemorate the life of their mother, Helen Tumage. The stone
would be approximately seven feet long, with five feet buffed. A commemorative
message would be placed near the stone. The Tumage family stated they would be
solely responsible for all costs incurred in the placing of this stone and accept any
maintenance duties involved. Tumage provided detailed information on the two
proposed sites requested.
Site A: Site A would be located approximately in the center of the Park's west end new
sidewalk addition. This particular location may be problematic due to the proximity of
power lines. At this site, the family would like to plant a Scotch Pine near the
memorial rock.
Site B: An alternative site was requested for consideration due to the issues and
liabilities involved with Site A. Tumage explained this site would be located at the
opposite area of the park {outside of the new sidewalk loop, but further west). This
area would require no additional vegetation.
MOTION:
Member Brown MOVED to forward the Tumage Memorial Proposal to Parks and
Recreation (Commission) for review. Member Hett SECOKDED the motion. There were
no objections. SO ORDERED.

Leif Hansen Memorial Park Proposal
As children of Helen Turnage, we would like to dedicate a memorial to our
mot)~.er's memory. As a special women and an involved member of the Kenai
corn r,~unity we would like to make a special dedication in her name. Leif Hansen
MerF;orial Park is at ~he center and' heart of Kenai. The memorial we would like
to f~Dpo, se is. similar to the Thomson Memorial already Iocat. ed on the East end
of.thc.,.-Park. We are proposing a rock memorial be placed in the park as a
ded:~...ation to Helen Tumage. The family has already reserved plaques to
sur~'ound our mother's memorial.
Our first proposed site would be inside the sidewalk circle of section D.
Or; .the map it is marked proposed site A. There are however some concern with
the'power lines and regulations involved with moving the rock to that location If
the si~,e is not a possible choice we would then chose proposed site B. This is
located outside circle section D on the west end of the park. This second site is
loc~r~eci near a few small shrubs and a spruce tree. We considered this site for
its'. I:..'.e:ace and natural beauty. This second proposed site is also a good spot due
to th,'~ natural harmony of the rock memorial and surrounding vegetation. We ask
that one of these possible sites would be considered.
We have been able to take some pictures of the area and possible rocks
to :.~:,9 for the memorial. As of now we.are considering a rock that would be
a'bo~:.~';- 1 1/2 to 2 feet in height, with a fiat surface to attach the plaque.
We would like to thank you for your time this evening and ask that our
mer,"~orial dedication to Helen Tumage be considered. Thank you again.
