ITEM 4: PERSONS SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD
4-a. Fred Pollard -- Small Boat Harbor -- Pollard requested the Commission
look into the construction of a small boat harbor for the City of Kenai, noting the
following reasons:
• Most towns along the coast in Alaska have a boat harbor.
• Approximately five percent of the boats in Homer stay in the harbor year
round with the remaining being pulled for storage.
A harbor would help the fish by eliminating the need for boats to anchor
in the middle of the river.
A harbor would increase safety and boost the economy.
Commissioner Poynor requested the issue be included on the agenda for the June
meeting with previous feasibility studies being included in the packet.

for late May. Frates circulated plans to the Commission.
5-b. Discussion -- Cathodic Protection Update

Works Director Ogle emphasized the need for a much needed baseline study to assist
administration in better understanding the project. Bill Nelson with Nelson 8s
Associates would be providing a structural integrity review for approximately $6,000.
5-c. Discussion -- Church Volunteer Group for Dip Net Fishery
Commissioner Morin reported he had been in contact with Brenda Grimm, president
of the North American Mission board who requested parking for three vans and one
fifth-wheel trailer on the North Side parking lot, and for the City to provide water in
fish totes to aide with the fish cleaning stations.
MOTION:
