Date: December 23, 2005
To: Kenai Hazbor Commission (Meeting of January 9, 2006)
From: Kim Howazd, Assistant to City Manager ~~
~: Tidelands Lease Application - City of Kenai Shore Fishery No. 2
At their meeting of September 21, 2005, the City Council determined the described tidelands could be
teased. This was at the recommendation of the Harbor Commission and the Plamiing and Zoning
Commission. As required by KMC 11.20.04Q an ad was published twice in the newspaper stating
applications were being accepted October 4~' - November 4`h. Ted Crookston submitted the only
application. iVlr. Crookston was the individual who initiated the lease of these tidelands.
On December 14~' meeting, as outlined in KMC 11.20.070(a), the Kenai Plauning and Zoning
Commission reviewed the lease application to detemune whether the contemplated use fell within that
pemutted under the zoning ordinance. Waters within the City are not zoned. The Commission
determined that it is reasonable to assume that fishing would be permitted in waters.
Following the determinaCion of the Plauning and Zoning Comrnission, KMC 11.20.070(b) sYafes the
lease appiication shall be reviewed by the Hazbor Commission at a public hearing. The Commission
may make a recommendation to the City Council along with any modifications or conditions. On
January 18`~ the City Council is scheduled to make a final detemunation of the selecrion of the
applicant based on the wmmissions' recommendarions.
The proposed term of the lease is for ten years, This is the temi ailowed for the City's current shore
fishery leases. The City Councii has set the annual rent for shore fishery leases at $300, however, the
City may amend the annual rent equal to that chazged by the State of Alaska, if that amount should
change during the term of the lease.
Does the Harbor Commission recommend approval of the tidelands lease application for City of
Kenai Shore F`ishery No. 2 to the oniy applicant, Ted Crookston?

Pat,
In our telephone conservation on October 19, 2005, you toid me that it was not a problem for the city to send you the
review comments on the Kenai River Bank Erosion Technicai Report sometime in January or February of 2006. This
would give us time for the city to properiy review the document and also have our city commissions review it. The
Harbor Commission did review the report, and they have some comments. The city administration is putting together
review comments and will be sending them to you.
There has been a rumor that the city did not consider this project as important any more. This rumor is NOT TRUE!
The Kenai River Bank Stabilization a~d Erosion ProtecYion ro~ect is the Ci of Kenai's Number 1 ro'ect. it has
been our Number 1 project for a very long time. The city has a Capital improvement Plan Priority ~ist for Fiscal Years
2006-2011 and this project is listed number 1 and designated as urgent. Kenai Mayor John Williams, who is now the
Kenai Peninsuia Borough Mayor, is a strong proponent of this project, as is our present Mayor Pat Porter and the Kenai
Ci2y CounciL
We have been toid that the Corps of Engineers received $500,000 for the neut phase of this project. We understand that
the funds would inciude a ground water study. It is our understanding that there wili be enough money to cover any
addRional permitting costs, geophysical, structural, and other studies or analyses tha4 are needed to complete the
- angineering design. It wouid be great to have a complete construction bid document ready for construction.
called you today and got your voice mail. Hope you are somewhere that is not ~ F like Kenai.

I reviewed the emaii to Mayor Porter from Nathan Butzlaff. I cailed Butzlaff and asked him about the statement
from the Corps of Engineers. He couid not give me a name, but said he learned this from the Anchorage Army
Engineer District O~ce. I corrected Butzlaff misinformation, and gave him a history of our project. I also toid
him the Corps was neariy one year late in getting this report to the City of Kenai, and that the City (myself and
Keith Kornelis) have been in regular contact with our Kenai and Anchorage Army Corp office concerning the
Technicai Report and the City of Kenai's action pian to pursue the next required series of studies before bluff
stabilization can begin.
I then cafied Patrick Fitzgereld, P.E., Study Manager with the Anchorage Army Corps of Engineers, and left a
message for him to contact me right away regarding Butziaff emaii to Mayor Porter. He was the author of our
latest report from the Corps of Engineers. Mr. Fitzgerald is fully aware of our commitment to see this project
through, and the difficuities we have overcome to get to this point. I do not believe he made this statement to
Butztaff, and I know he wiil correct any wrong impre~sion delivered.
For your review.....On August 3, 2005, the City of Kenai received from the U.S. Army Engineer District in
Anchorege a Technical Report on the Kenai River Bank Erosion Project. This report was a speciai technicai "
eva~uation of bank stabilization needs along the lower Kenai River. The section of the bank being studied is=
along the north bank of the river, between the mouth of the river and the city. $500,000 was expended on this
evaluation and report.
This report concluded that the primary source of erosion is groudwater seepage out of the bank face, and that
the City of Kenai must now perform a number of tests to adequately map groundwater flow patterns suitabie for
detailed design of a bluff stabilization project. This is exactly what we are now pursuing, further, we are
working with our local Army Corps office on a project design and work schedule that wiil be more cost effective,
still reath our primary goal of bluff stabilization, and secondary goal of a bike/pedestrian path on top of an
armored embankment.
In short, the suggestion that the Anchorage Office cr the US Army Corps of Engineers said that the City of Kenai
has not identified a desire to pursue further studies even though these studies wouid be at Federai cost is
completely faise, and inconsistent with our longstanding effort to keep this project on the "front burner" with
the Army Corps.
Council wili receive a copy of Administration corcespondence with the Corps of Engineers concerning our
response to the Technical Report, and our requests for continued funding.
Thank you,
Chuck

Mayor Porter,
It was good to meet with you in August when I was in Kenai. During that
meeting, you asked about the status of the Kenai Coastal Erosion
project. I apologize for the deiay in getting back to you on this.
Here's what I found out from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers:
"We prepared a technical report attempting to identify potential
solutions.
Much of the erosion is the result of surface flow draining through the
ground and coming out the bfuff slopes. We did not find a definitive
solution yet.
We recommended further studies; however, the City of Kenai has not
identified a desire to pursue further studies even though these studies
would be at Federal cost. We recentiy turned this study over to another
study manager as the previous manager took a leave of absence. Even
though this study manager has a significant workioad already, will see
if he can make some positive progress.
From a policy perspective, the administration probabiy wili not budget
for additionai efforts as erosion control is a low nrioritv ourrn~r
program.
We note that former Kenai Mayor John Williams run the runoff for Kenai
Peninsula 8orough Mayor. We will see how the Borough may want to play
in this effort."
Please let me know if you have any questions.
