(d) Land Selection - State Lands Mr. Jaynes reported that according to Title 29 of the Alaska Statutes, a City or Borough may select 10~ of the vacant unappropriated and unreserved State land located within its boundaries. Within the City of Kenai there are 124.61 acres available and the City could select approximately 12.461 acres. After reviewing the maps, and finding it very difficult to come up with 12 acres by following the subdivision boundaries, Mr. Jaynes suggests and recommends the City apply for a 10 acre tract in Section 26, more specifically described as NE4, NWT, NEB, Section 26, T6N, R11W, S.M. Mr. Jaynes presented the Commission with a map showing the lands available. The 10 acre parcel is at the northerly boundary of the City. It is well drained and well timbered and the spur highway cuts through the center of this parcel. It is Mr. Jaynes's opinion, this parcel is more valuable and useful to the City than one that would be a larger acreage away from the spur road. After some discussion, Coyle moved and Malston seconded to accept Mr. Jayne's recommendation and select the NEB, NWT, NEB, Section 26, T6N, Rl,1W, S.M. from the State land selection.
