The State has no .gravel sites in this area. of Kenai-and wants to get a gravel site for maintenance purposes. At the same time, the City is in need of gravel. This land in question has no development use as it stands. The cost to the City to develop the site would be substantial and would have to put in a road. The State has offered to put in an access and develop the mining plan and restoration plan. In return, they will draw 100,000 yards of gravel. Anything over this amount would be at the going rate plus the City would deceive the money to cover restoration. The City would be able to draw what gravel it would need for construction and thus could lower construction costs. The City needs a permit from the Corps of Engineers and then would apply formerly for a gravel permit. - No action was taken at this time. 7. OTHER BUSINESS A.
