A contract may be awarded under this section only when the City Manager or designee determines in writing to the City Council that it is advantageous to the City to use an innovative competitive procurement process in the procurement of new or unique requirements of the City, new technologies, or to achieve the best value.

(D) In developing evaluation factors, generally, where the requirement is clearly definable and the risk of unsuccessful contract performance is minimal, cost or price may play a dominant role in source selection. The less definitive the requirement, the more development work required, or the greater the performance risk, the more technical or past performance considerations may play a dominant role in source selection.

ENACTED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, THIS 5TH DAY OF MARCH, 2025. ___________________________________ Brian Gabriel Sr., Mayor ATTEST: ___________________________________ Michelle M. Saner, MMC, City Clerk Introduced: February 19, 2025 Enacted: March 5, 2025 Effective: April 4, 2025 Page 13 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Gabriel and Council Members FROM: Vice Mayor Henry Knackstedt DATE: February 11, 2025 SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 3453-2025 - Amending Kenai Municipal Code Chapter 7.15 – Purchases and Sales, Sections 7.15.060 – Procurement of Professional Services and 7.15.070 – Innovative Procurements and Other Exceptions, to Allow Insurance Coverages to be Procured by Direct Negotiation and Authorize Other Procurement Exceptions Subject to City Council Approval by Resolution. Ordinance No. 3453-2025 proposes amendments to Kenai Municipal Code Chapter 7.15 – Purchases and Sales, to allow for direct negotiation in the procurement of insurance coverages and to authorize additional procurement exceptions with Council approval by resolution. The first proposed change to KMC 7.15.060 Procurement of Professional Services, improves efficiency by streamlining the complex insurance procurement process. The market for insurance is unique and the City contracts with a brokerage firm to assist in exploring the market and retaining the best coverages for the City. Limited competition and lack of standard products makes typical bidding or solicitation of proposals less effective and sometimes not feasible. Additionally, the City’s general purchasing procedures do not afford the City the flexibility to take advantage of different incentives offered by the market that are often not disclosed on the front end of the procurement process. Allowing direct negotiation will enable the City to secure the most comprehensive coverage at the best value. The second proposed change amends KMC 7.15.070-Innovative Procurement and Other Exceptions, by allowing award of purchases when the solicitation of bids or proposals has been limited or by direct negotiation if it is found to be in the best interest of the City, evidence of a fair and reasonable price is presented and the purchase does not conflict with the funding sources., such as grants that require a low bid procurement process. This amendment also expands procurement options for specialized goods and services, provided fair pricing is documented, to ensure that procurement processes remain agile and responsive without compromising fiscal oversight. Examples of when this exception could be used include the purchase of used equipment with exceptional value and negotiations with the market after traditional bidding or proposal solicitations have failed to yield any responses or viable options. This proposed change is not intended to be commonly used and are in line with purchasing exceptions employed by other local governments, including the Borough and Soldotna. Page 14 Page 2 of 2 The ordinance includes safeguards to ensure that all exceptions are justified, preventing unnecessary expenditures while allowing the City to take advantage of unique procurement opportunities. The exceptions require the City Council to approve the purchase by resolution ensuring continued transparency and public notice of the procurement decision while allowing flexibility for unique or time-sensitive purchases. These amendments will improve the City’s ability to efficiently obtain necessary insurance coverages and other goods and services while maintaining proper oversight and competitive pricing measures. The added flexibility in procurement methods will ensure that the City can act strategically and responsibly when standard solicitation processes are impractical. Thank you for your consideration.

Saner, MMC, City Clerk Introduced: February 19, 2025 Enacted: March 5, 2025 Effective: April 4, 2025 Page 17 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Gabriel and City Council Members FROM: Shellie Saner, City Clerk DATE: February 6, 2025 SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 3454-2025 - Amending Kenai Municipal Code 23.35.032 - Arbitration Panel to Amend the Member Terms from Indefinite Terms to Three-Year Terms. Current Terms for the Arbitration Panel Terms for the Arbitration Panel are established in KMC 23.35.032(c) and are as follows: Members of the panel shall serve for indefinite terms until termination by the Council, resignation by the member, death, move from the City of Kenai, election or appointment as an officer or employee of the City of Kenai, or incapacity of the member. The Arbitration Panel meets only on an as-needed basis, and often more than ten years pass between meetings. The last appointment to the panel was in 2013. Serving on a group that meets infrequently and has indefinite terms creates challenges. Of the twelve members serving since 2013, three indicated they are willing to continue serving, four have indicated they are only interested in serving for one more year, three have moved out of the City, and two are deceased. There are currently five vacancies on the panel. Amending the terms to staggered three-year terms is recommended to effectively manage the membership of the Arbitration Panel and is consistent with how membership terms are managed for City Standing Commissions. During the February 5, 2025 City Council meeting, City Council provided general direction to the City Clerk to bring forward legislation amending the terms of the Arbitration Panel Members, establishing three-year staggered terms. This would include assigning initial terms as follows: • Four members to three-year terms • Four members to two-year terms • Four members to one-year terms The proposed change would allow for annual recruitment for the Arbitration Panel alongside other Commission recruitment. It would also ensure that sitting members remain interested in serving and remind members of the need to resign if they relocate outside the City.

Saner, MMC, City Clerk Approved by Finance: _________________ Introduced: February 19, 2025 Enacted: March 5, 2025 Effective: April 4, 2025 Page 20 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Gabriel and Council Members THROUGH: Terry Eubank, City Manager FROM: Tyler Best, Parks and Recreation Director DATE: February 12, 2025 SUBJECT: Ordinance 3455-2025 - Authorizing the Purchase of a Used Ventrac Tractor and Attachments from KNC Golf, Inc., that Deviates from Procurement Procedures Authorized by Kenai Municipal Code Chapter 7.15 Purchases and Sales. In the FY25 budget, there is a capital project for the Parks and Recreation Department (Department) to purchase a tractor and several attachments. Additionally, the approved capital improvement plan for FY26 includes a request to fund the purchase of a second tractor and attachments. These two tractors are intended to replace aging mowers and provide greater versatility and efficiency for the Department. Recently, the new management of the Kenai Golf Course presented the City with a unique opportunity. KNC Golf, Inc., owns a tractor similar to the one the Department was planning to purchase, along with a large number of attachments. KNC Golf, Inc., has determined the tractor does not meet its needs and is offering it for sale along with all the attachments. Some of the attachments align with the Department's original purchase plan, while others were not initially planned to be purchased but would significantly enhance the Department's capabilities. The additional attachments would replace other aging small equipment used by the Department. KNC Golf, Inc., is offering the tractor and its attachments to the City at an exceptional value that far exceeds the City’s spending power in the new equipment market. The tractor has very low hours, and some attachments have never been used. While it is understood the used tractor does not have a warranty, the City Shop is familiar with the equipment and can provide needed maintenance and repair services within reason. The value of the potential purchase and alignment with existing plans for the purchase of similar equipment is significant enough for Administration to take the rare step of recommending Council approve this purchase outside of standard purchasing procedures provided for in the City’s purchasing code. This opportunity provides substantial benefits in four key areas: 1. Value: The value new of the tractor and attachments offered is $103,640 which is offered to the City for $45,000. Page 21 Page 2 of 3 2. Future Cost Efficiency: The new attachments the City would be acquiring in addition to what it originally intended to acquire will replace other aging equipment that the Department needs replaced in the next five years. 3. Enhanced Functionality: The purchase increases the number of available attachments, improving operational capabilities and versatility within the Department. 4. Immediate Budget Impact: Purchasing the equipment will save money compared to the original purchase plan for FY25 and FY26 and provide an increased number of attachments. Recommendation: Based on these benefits, the Administration recommends enactment of a non-code ordinance authorizing the purchase of the Ventrac Tractor from KNC Golf, Inc. by direct negotiation. The purchase will address immediate operational needs while delivering long-term financial and functional benefits for the City. Below are tables representing the values of all the tractors and equipment. Table 1.A represents the current purchase plan for new equipment of the Parks Department from the FY25 and FY26 Capital Improvement Plans. 1.A Equipment FY25 Budget FY26 Request Total FY25 Budget and FY26 Request Ventrac Tractor $33,700 $33,700 $ 67,400 Contour Mower 10,000 - 10,000 Attachment Broom 5,075 - 5,075 Ball Park Groomer 5,975 5,975 Wide Area mower 8,400 - 8,400 Power Bucket - 3,190 3,190 48" Snow Blower - 6,810 6,810 Tiller - 4,310 4,310 Rough Cut Mower - 5,625 5,625 Dual wheel kit 1,795 1,795 3,590 Trailer - 8,000 8,000 Total $64,945 $63,430 $128,375 Page 22 Page 3 of 3 Table 1.

That this Resolution takes effect immediately upon passage. PASSED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, THIS 5TH DAY OF MARCH, 2025. ___________________________________ Brian Gabriel Sr., Mayor ATTEST: ___________________________________ Michelle M. Saner, MMC, City Clerk Page 26 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Gabriel and Council Members FROM: Terry Eubank, City Manager DATE: February 20, 2025 SUBJECT: Resolution 2025-17 - Authorizing the City Manager to Renew the Memorandum of Understanding for the Kenai Watershed Forum Kenai River Water Quality Monitoring Program. The Kenai Watershed Forum has been conducting baseline water quality monitoring on the Kenai River since 2000, providing critical data that has informed science-based decision-making to protect this important resource. The proposed resolution authorizing the City Manager to renew the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for this program reaffirms the City’s commitment to safeguarding the health of the Kenai River. Historically, the City of Kenai has supported this project with an annual contribution of $5,000. However, last year, that amount was reduced to $1,500, with the City also offering the use of the City’s Water & Sewer Lab for sample testing if needed. It is important to note that not all parties to the MOU provide direct financial contributions to the project, making continued support from the City of Kenai all the more valuable in sustaining long-term monitoring efforts. The ongoing collection of baseline data remains essential to ensuring the health of the Kenai River and the long-term well-being of our community. The Kenai Watershed Forum has also shared a short video explaining the significance of this project, which can be viewed at the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHYw0c-CHHc Your consideration is appreciated.

Since the year 2000 the program has partnered with over a dozen government, tribal, private, and non-governmental organizations. Results have provided critical data for management decisions at the local level that help keep the Kenai River thriving and accessible. The project’s Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) document outlines the roles of partnering organizations, and is due for renewal. We are requesting a renewal signature from your office as confirmation of continued support for this project. The MOU is a non -binding document and does not legally commit any entities or individuals to financial support or management actions. We are eager to share more about the project with your office and look forward to speaking with you. Additional details and resources are linked on the project website, as well as in the Project Status Summary attached here. Thank you for your support and consideration.

Since the year 2000 Kenai Watershed Forum has coordinated the efforts of government, tribal, private, and nonprofit partners to monitor water quality trends throughout the river as specified in the Alaska Department of Natural Resources’ 1997 Kenai River Special Management Area Comprehensive Management Plan. The twenty-four year continuous effort has produced a long and robust water quality dataset that is applied to identify and address critical local water management issues. The program serves as a remarkable example of how community partnerships can generate outsized impact. Twice annually, the program measures water quality at twenty-two sites throughout the Kenai River and its tributaries. The project surveys for a diverse list of substances including bacteria, metals, nutrients, fuels, and more. All results are published in the public domain and are assessed against state and federal water quality standards. Comprehensive reports have been published in 2007 and 2016, with another planned for analysis in 2025. Visit the project website1 for details and additional resources.

We are tasked with reducing some monitoring and analysis efforts unless income levels increase. Over fifteen organizations support monitoring work each year with in-kind and/or financial backing. While the overall level of annual financial contribution has remained relatively steady, a 56% rise in inflation of the US dollar since 2005 has lessened the purchasing power of resources available to the project. In 2022, a one-time contribution of EPA pass-through funds from Kenaitze Indian Tribe allowed the project to continue as planned through 2024, but future years will need to identify additional funds to continue providing the same level of service.

However, annual support from existing long-term local partners remains the most viable way to secure this project into the future. As your organization considers renewing the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), the level of financial support required to sustain the work will be part of the discussion. Note that the MOU does not contractually commit any organization to specific financial support. We look forward to discussing this work further with your office and are eager to share the next comprehensive report. Thank you for your time and consideration.

The lessee submitted a good-faith deposit and the City ordered an appraisal to be performed on the property as though vacant. The fair market value of the property was determined to be $195,000 by an appraisal performed by MacSwain Associates on September 3, 2024. If the City Council approves the sale, City Administration may proceed with the sale. Page 145 Page 2 of 2 Thank you for your consideration.

Saner, MMC, City Clerk Introduced: March 5, 2025 Enacted: March 19, 2025 Effective: April 18, 2025 Page 154 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Gabriel and Council Members THROUGH: Terry Eubank, City Manager FROM: Kevin Buettner, Planning Director DATE: March 5, 2025 SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 3461-2025 - Amending the Official Zoning Map and Land Use Table by Rezoning the Properties at 202 North Forest Drive and 1408 Second Avenue from Suburban Residential (RS) to General Commercial (CG) Zoning District. The applicants are seeking to rezone properties located at 202 N. Forest Drive and 1408 Second Avenue from Suburban Residential (RS) to General Commercial (CG) zoning district. The purpose of the rezone is to allow light commercial uses on the subject parcels. For the parcel located at 202 N. Forest Drive, the property owner intends to operate a law office, coffee shop, and commercial greenhouse. The parcel at 1408 Second Avenue currently would remain undeveloped, but be used for snow storage from the adjoining lot. North Forest Drive is classified as a Major Collector by the Alaska Department of Transportation and as such, is used to access several neighborhoods between the Kenai Spur Highway and Redoubt Avenue. A Major Collector route often has higher annual average daily traffic counts than surrounding streets, and generally results in higher associated road noise. This noise often deters substantial residential development directly on the route. This property has historically had a conditional use permit, initially issued in 1999 (PZ1999-24) for a Greenhouse, Gift Shop, and Coffee Shop. The current owners seek to reactivate this property with a similar mix of commercial uses, with the exception of the Gift Shop which would be replaced by a law office. There is vegetative screening for adjacent properties to the north, east, and south. N. Forest Drive is on the west side of the property. The CG zoning district allows for the widest range of commercial and industrial uses compared to other commercial zoning districts. The existing RS zoning district is not a compatible land use for this area since there are existing commercial and institutional uses to the south and west of the proposed rezone area. The rezone to CG zone would expand the adjacent CG zoning district, which it is anticipated that it would be developed in junction with the surrounding commercial and institutional uses to the south and west. Therefore, minimizing potential impacts of commercial development on existing residential uses. As noted by the applicants, this property has existed as a commercial property for over a quarter century and this rezone would allow for these low-impact commercial uses without going through additional planning processes. Page 155 Page 2 of 2 The existing land use classification states that the area is to be Suburban Residential. Due to North Forest Drive being a Major Collector route, there is reason to anticipate that this area will become low-impact commercial uses, as traffic is higher along N. Forest Drive and the associated road noise make residential uses less desirable. In the current RS zone, several commercial uses are permitted subject to a Conditional Use Permit. The proposed rezone to CG zone would be consistent as a natural extension of the Mixed-Use land use classification that is immediately south of the subject properties as identified in the Comprehensive Plan. An amendment to the Comprehensive Land Use Table would also be needed. The Comprehensive Plan supports this rezoning in the following identified goal: Goal 1 – Quality of Life: Promote and encourage quality of life in Kenai. • Q-4: Promote the siting and design of land uses that are in harmony and scale with surrounding uses. The proposed rezone to CG zone would make the existing buildings (greenhouse, coffee shop, and law office) compliant with the zoning district. Under the existing RS zone, the existing buildings are considered a non-conforming use since commercial uses are not permitted to be a principal use. Therefore, any expansions or alterations of the buildings would be subject to KMC Section 14.20.050 Nonconforming lots, structures, and uses. On February 26, 2025, the City of Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission voted to recommend the subject properties be rezoned from Suburban Residential to General Commercial zoning district.

North Forest Drive has a Functional Classification as a Major Collector, as designated by the Alaska Department of Transportation, which infers a higher annual average daily traffic volume than surrounding neighborhood streets and therefore less desirable for residential uses due to vehicle noise. 4 . The existing land use classification states that the area is to be Suburban Residential. Due to North Forest Drive being a Major Collector route, there is reason to anticipate that this area will become low-impact commercial uses, as traffic volume is higher along N. Forest Drive and the associated road noise make residential uses less desirable. In the current RS zone, several commercial uses are permitted subject to a Conditional Use Permit (see attached Land Use Table). The proposed rezone to CG zone would be consistent as a natural extension of the Mixed-Use land use classification that is immediately south of the subject properties as identified in the Comprehensive Plan and reduce the administrative burden on business owners and city staff. 5. The proposed rezone to CG would align with the current low to medium density commercial/institutional character of the neighborhood. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RECOMMENDED BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA: Section 1. That Kenai City Council approve the rezone request for the properties located at 202 N. Forest Drive and 1408 Second Avenue from Suburban Residential (RS) to General Commercial (CG) zoning district. Section 2. That the Commission will forward its written recommendation to the Kenai City Council, along with all certified minutes and public records relating to the proposed amendment. PASSED BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, THIS 26TH DAY OF FEBRUARY, 2025. ~SON ATTEST: Megh ~uty City Ck>rk Page 162 SUMMARY The applicants are seeking to rezone properties located at 202 N. Forest Drive and 1408 Second Avenue from Suburban Residential (RS) to General Commercial (CG) zoning district. The purpose of the rezone is to allow light commercial uses on the subject parcels. For the parcel located at 202 N. Forest Drive, the property owner intends to operate a law office, coffee shop, and commercial greenhouse. The parcel at 1408 Second Avenue would remain undeveloped, but be used for snow storage from the adjoining lot. North Forest Drive is classified as a Major Collector by the Alaska Department of Transportation and as such, is used to access several neighborhoods between the Kenai Spur Highway and Redoubt Avenue. A Major Collector route often has higher annual average daily traffic counts than surrounding streets, and generally results in higher associated road noise. This noise often deters substantial residential development directly on the route. This property has historically had a conditional use permit, initially issued in 1999 (PZ1999-24) for a Greenhouse, Gift Shop, and Coffee Shop. The current owners seek to reactivate this property with a similar mix of commercial uses, with the exception of the Gift Shop which would be replaced by a law office. There is vegetative screening for adjacent properties to the north, east, and south. N. Forest Drive is on the west side of the property. If approved, the zone change would allow commercial uses as a principal use, whereas under the existing zone, RS, a commerical use is only permitted as a conditional use. ANALYSIS Pursuant to KMC Section 14.20.270, the initiation of a Zoning Map Amendment may be initiated by a majority of the property owners in the area to be rezone. Furthermore, the area to be rezoned contains a minimum one (1) acre (excluding street or alley rights-of-way) unless the amendment enlarges an adjacent district boundary. Both affected parcels are owned by the same owner, 202 N. Forest, LLC, therefore, meeting the initiation of a rezone application. The combined area of the rezone is approximately 1.32 acres, which exceeds the minimum one (1) acre requirement for a zoning map amendment and it would expand the adjacent General Commercial zoning district to the south of the proposed rezone area. Existing and Proposed Zoning The existing zoning is Suburban Residential (RS) and the intent as outlined in KMC Section 14.20.090 states the following: The RS Zone is intended to provide for medium density residential development in areas which will be provided with common utility systems. The specific intent in establishing this zone is: (1) To separate residential structures to an extent which will allow for adequate light, air, and privacy; (2) To prohibit uses which would: (A) Violate the residential character of the environment; (B) Generate heavy traffic in predominantly residential areas. Resolution No. PZ2025-08 Rezone from Suburban Residential (RS) to General Commercial (CG) 202 N. Forest Dr. and 1408 Second Ave. Page 2 of 5 Page 164 r Findings: The proposed rezone area is surrounded by a commercial office/warehouse (Salvation Army) to the west, residential uses to the north and east, and a commercial zoned area along First Avenue. The current zoning, RS prohibits commerical uses unless it is a conditional use according to the land use table found in KMC Section 14.22.010 as shown below (highlighted in yellow).

The current zoning district, Suburban Residential (RS) is intended to provide for medium density residential development. The existing RS zone is not the preferred land use for this area as there are existing commercial/institutional uses to the south and west of the proposed rezone area and the subject properties are located within 600 feet of the Kenai Spur Highway. The rezone to General Commercial (CG) zone would increase the adjacent CG zoning district, which it is anticipated that it would be developed in conjunction with the surrounding commercial and institutional uses along the Kenai Spur Highway and South Forest Drive. Therefore, it would minimize potential impacts of commercial development on existing residential uses. North Forest Drive has a Functional Classification as a Major Collector, as designated by the Alaska Department of Transportation, which infers a higher annual average daily traffic volume than surrounding neighborhood streets and therefore less desirable for residential uses due to vehicle noise. Findings: The rezone to CG zone would increase the adjacent RCGS zoning district, which it is anticipated that it would be developed in conjunction with the surrounding commercial/institutional uses to the west and south. Therefore, minimizing potential impacts of commercial development on existing uses. As noted by the applicants, this property has historically functioned as a commercial property with a Conditional Use Permit and rezoning would reduce the administrative burden on both the businesses, and the city staff. Resolution No. PZ2025-08 Rezone from Suburban Residential (RS) to General Commercial (CG) 202 N. Forest Dr. and 1408 Second Ave. Page 3 of 5 Page 165 Com prehensive Plan -Land Use Classification The existing land use classification is Suburban Residential and the intent as outlined in the Imagine Kenai 2030 Comprehensive Plan ("Comprehensive Plan") states the following: Kenai residents place a high value on residential neighborhoods that are safe for all ages and located near important community facilities such as schools, recreational facilities, the library, parks, government services, and commercial areas. Findings: The existing land use classification states that the area is to be Suburban Residential. Due to North Forest Drive being a Major Collector route, there is reason to anticipate that this area will become low-impact commercial uses, as traffic is higher along N. Forest Drive and the associated road noise make residential uses less desirable. In the current RS zone, several commercial uses are permitted subject to a Conditional Use Permit (see attached Land Use Table). The proposed rezone to CG zone would be consistent as a natural extension of the Mixed-Use land use classification that is immediately south of the subject properties as identified in the Comprehensive Plan. An amendment to the land use map in the Comprehensive Plan is not currently required , as all the proposed uses are allowable in Suburban Residential zones, albeit as conditional uses. The City anticipates updating the Comprehensive Plan within a couple years, and a new Land Use Plan may be developed as a part of this process. The Comprehensive Plan supports this rezoning in the following identified goal: Goal 1 -Quality of Life: Promote and encourage quality of life in Kenai. • Q-4 : Promote the siting and design of land uses that are in harmony and scale with surrounding uses. Findin gs: The proposed rezone to CG would align with the current low to medium density development of the neighborhood. Existin g Use In the proposed rezone area, the only existing principal use are the existing buildings (greenhouse, coffee shop , and law office) on the property located at 202 N. Forest Drive, which are adjacent the intersection of N. Forest Drive and Second Avenue. Findings: The proposed rezone to CG zone would make the existing buildings (greenhouse. coffee shop, and law office) compliant with the zoning district. Under the existing RS zone, the existing buildings are considered a non-conforming use since commercial uses are not permitted to be a principal use. Therefore, any expansions or alterations of the buildings would be subject to KMC Section 14.20.050 Nonconforming lots, structures, and uses. PUBLIC NOTICE Pursuant to Kenai Municipal Code 14.20.280 notices of the public hearing for the rezone were mailed to property owners within a three hundred-foot (300') periphery of the subject properties. City staff published notice of the public hearing in the Peninsula Clarion, and notification was posted. Resolution No. PZ2025-08 Rezone from Suburban Residential (RS) to General Commercial (CG) 202 N. Forest Dr. and 1408 Second Ave. Page 4 of 5 Page 166 No public comments have been received as-of-date. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Based on the findings and analysis in this staff report, Staff recommends the Planning & Zoning Commission recommend approval of the rezone request for the properties located at 202 N. Forest Drive and 1408 Second Avenue from Suburban Residential (RS) to General Commercial (CG) zoning district. Planning & Zoning Commission's recommendation will be forwarded to City Council for consideration.

It seems the city boat launch and docks area is very underutilized outside of the dipnetting window. Locals and visitors both love the veiws and the facilties. I think a good oportunity lies outside of the busy dipnetting window, Its a great place for activities and for a future entrance/ exit to the waterfront revitilization project. We know the DOT is in the design faze of bridge access rd, an effort should be made to increase signage; icons such as wildlife veiwing, boatlaunch, partking, photography, etc. These are frequent for other locations all around the state. DOT, Potenitally NOAA Fisheries, and or AWA? The funds needed for this would be very minimal. Page 187 (?
