Council Present: H. Smalley, P. Porter, L. Swarner, and M. Boyle
Staff Present: R. Koch, C. Freas
Council met with representatives of the Corps of Engineers to discuss progress being
made with regard to the Kenai bluff erosion project.
Pat Fitzgerald and other representatives -- Reviewed information provided to
council, public and the regulatory agencies earlier in the day, including technical
studies (impacts of up and downstream); summary of agency comments; history of the
project and involvement of the Corps; findings and conclusions; design alternatives,
etc.
It was noted, there currently was no Corps authority or funding to construct the
project. The public/property owners were encouraged to get involved with
congressional delegation lobbying to bring more attention to the project and great need
for the project. Also, if funding would be received for the project to proceed, it would
be a three -to -five year project to complete.
Council and public reviewed the conceptual and alternative design drawings provided
by the Corps personnel.
The work session ended at approximately 7:50 p.m.
