Attachments Page 2 of 2 Kenai Port and Harbor commission Agenda Items for March 10, 200$ I would like to consider 2 items for recommendation to the City Council. Item #1 I3arbor and Port Master Plan,_is a framework on which to consider projects and planning activities. I have enclosed a proposed document that shnuld be considered and given a meeting or two to consider and discuss the document before formal adoption before recommendation to the city council. Item #2 Kenai River Watershed Forum Bird Viewins Platform,_is a project that is in need of discussion before the project is begun without a clear darectcon to an outcome which is successful. They have some differences of interpretation and are interested in a vital and functional project in the harbor area. A. They could benefit by Depositing mud and fall that is removed from the city boat launch this spring in the muddy area near the site of the project. B. They could benefit by installing "Jersey Barriers" (Heavy concrete traffic barriers) on solid ground by the roadway to prevent people from driving into the usual mud hole and parking. These would be necessary for 1-2 years to allow the restoration at which time they should be replaced by more attractive parking bumpers. C. They would like to grade and seed the area to "restore it after the Mud drains and the barriers are installed. D. They would like to have signs (Perhaps also fence) installed after the seeding to protect the restoration. E. They would like to get Corps of Engineer approvals (which they have already initiated discussion) to drive pilings during next winter season (2008-2049). F. We need a more complete drawing of fmalized location for the platform. They are still open to suggestion. G. We need discussion of the parking situation for the platform. City of Kenai, Alaska Harbor and PorC Commission Harbor and Port Master Plain Vision The vision of the Kenai Port Commission is for city owned property to be developed and operated under principals and priorities that recognize the diverse uses and culture of the Kenai Area.

Similarly, transportation such as water taxi, and ferry services have been. considered in the past and may arise again. Tour, fishing guide, booking services, and related activities may develop within the Port and Harbor jurisdiction in the Kenai. City limits. Preparation beforess much easier than catch up afterward. Encouragement of Enterprise in the Kenai Harbor and Port is an economic treasure that has not been developed extensively. Many jobs and much prosperity could follow thoughtful development of the port. KENAI HARBOR COMMISSION 2001 GOALS 8s OBJECTIVES SHORT-TERM GOALS 1.

Freas, Kenai City DATE: February 21, 2008 RE: PREPARATION OF COMMISSION/COMMITTEE PACKETS During a recent commission meeting, a discussion took place about the meeting packets and a desire to have them provided as a PDF file. This discussion has come up previously and at that time, it was felt that packets should continue to be provided as a hard copy. Presently, packets are copied and mailed to all seven of the commissions/committees provided through this office as well as the Planning & Zoning Commission. To maintain consistency and less confusion, this method will continue. However, on the same day the packets are prepared and copied (which is done a week prior to the meetingj, the packets are also uploaded as a PDF file to the city's webpage where it could be downloaded and saved to a hazd disk if so desired. We have been uploading complete packets of all the commissions/committees since our new copier/ scanner was installed. The scanner only scans in black and white and that is why we try to provide color copies of maps, etc. in packet envelopes along with the hard-copied packet. It is my understanding, a member indicated the City Council's packets are sent to them as a PDF file. This is incorrect. At their direction, the council members receive a hard copy of the meeting packet. In addition, a copy of the packet is placed on the city's webpage where it can be viewed or downloaded and saved if desired. You will find the commission/committee e-packets on the webpage as follows: • Go to www.ci.kenai.ak.us Click on 'Commissions & Committees' at the top of the page (just under the picture). • When you arrive on the 'Commissions 8s Committees' page, scroll down to 'Your' Commission and click on 'Next Meeting Agenda.' From there you can review the packet or download and save it to your hard disk. If there are questions or concerns, please contact me at 283-8231...and thanks! clf cc: Commission/Committee Staff Rick Koch, City Manager
