F NOTES /COMMENTS
The bluff erosion project has been the City of Kenai s
number one Federal and State funding priority for at least
the previous thrree years. Administration is requesting
funding from the Governor and area Legislators. To date,
,funding of approximately 1.5 million has been
appropriated by Alaska's congressional delegation, but the
outlook for additional federal funding is not good. The
citizens of Kenai approved a G.O. bond proposition in the
amount of 2.000.000 in 2007. Given the State of Alaska's
z,00u,uUu tor G.U. Bonds, 1,bUU,UUU trom me Kasmuson
Foundation, 250,000 from the State of Alaska, 250,000
from the City of Kenai G.F.,& 170,000 from the Friends of
the Kenai Community Library. Additional fundraising efforts
are ongoing.
Administration recommends that a project of this type be
perpetually included in capital project requests to the State
or Alaska.

DESCRIPTION
Approximately one -mile of the bluff along the Kenai River is
exhibiting substantial erosion. Several hundred feet of the
original townsite have been lost over the last century. The
U.S. Corp of Engineers estimates the rate of erosion to be 3
feet per year. Over the next 50 years, in excess of 50
million On 2006 dollars) of property and improvements will be
lost, without the construction of stabilization improvements.
The total cost estimate for the project is 20 million.
Approximately 1.5 million has been scent to date on
existing tautly. voters in Kenai approved a bond sale in the
amount of 2 million, for a project presently estimated at
5.3 million. The conceptual design is complete and the

The City of Kenai maintains approximately 20 miles of gravel
'surfaced roadways within it's municipal boundaries. The cost
of maintenance of gravel roadways is high, dust from gravel
roadways is a health issue for the elderly young. The 1
million requested will be used as a 50% match to support
local improvement districts
This project would purchase two Low Ground Pressure (LPG)
vehicles to enhance access for both seasonal enforcement
officers parks recreation personnel, and construct three

NOTES /COMMENTS
This is the first phase opf a three phase project to construct
improvements to the WWTP ans identified in the WWTP
Master Plan prepared by CH2MHill in 2003.
The Department of Energy will be soliciting grant
applications for energy conservation projects in the near
future. It is my understanding that uo to 9 million in ARRA
funding may be available through a competitive process.
This project could also be a candidate for the DOE
competitive grant program.

DESCRIPTION
This project would construct improvements to the City of
Kenai's WWTP which would increase volume, decrease
operating expenses and increase the quality of the effluent.
This project would replace the major components of the
heating ventilation system, and lighting systems.
This new fire engine would replace an existing 26 year old fire
engine. Our 1982 fire engine is the oldest equipment
presently in use at the Fire Department, and was one of the
last years in which "open jump seat" fire engines were
allowed by code. The old engine has reached the end of its
useful life and should be replaced.
The current system does not provide uniform heat in the
winter and does not include air conditioning (cooling) in the
summer. The present system also does not provide an
ladequate number of air changes to meet current code
',requirements. The copy room which contains the computer
servers is consistently at a significantly elevated temperature.
Project would design and install irrigation system for four
soccer fields
This project would construct a six -bay vehicle storage facility
at the Senior Center. At present the vehicles are stored
outside the center. During the winter this results in vehicles
running to maintain heat for trips for the senior clients, and
also results in increased mechanical difficulties.

Cost Sharing Proposal for Personal Use Fisheries
Premise. The State of Alaska has created a number of personal use fisheries throughout
the State of Alaska to provide food to residents. These fisheries are high density fisheries
requiring significant infrastructure and management costs to maintain resources and
reduce impacts on local communities.
Unfortunately, the State of Alaska has not invested significant revenues to help local
communities in management of the participants in these fisheries and therefore costs of
police, paramedics, access, administration, and other costs are borne by the local
governments.
In addition, the costs of providing these services are upfront costs and if a failure of the
resource takes place the ability to recover costs is severely impacted. Therefore, local
governments bear the economic risk while the State of Alaska does not share in this risk.
The following proposal is designed to help alleviate this problem.
Background: Presently, the State of Alaska requires a sport fish license for every
household member who participates in the personal use fisheries. This generates
significant revenue to the State of Alaska, Department of Fish and Game, Sport Fish
Division. However, the ADF &G has not allocated sufficient monies to local
governments for the infrastructure development or management of people participating in
these fisheries to minimize adverse impacts or normal activities.
Personal use fishing is a separate activity that has been recognized in State of Alaska
regulation:
5 AAC 77.001 (a)(
(a) The Board of Fisheries finds that:
(4) it is necessary to establish a fishery classified as "personal use" because
(C) since the gear for this fishery is gften different from that historically associated with
sport fishing this fcshery should not be classified as a sport fishery, to prevent confusion
among the public.
Therefore, there is no license required for personal use fishing that is separate and distinct
and where revenues can be tracked and allocated for local governments or other State of
Alaska agencies to deal with the impacts of these fisheries. For example, the Department
of Natural Resource controlled lands have been impacted yet DNR receives no funding
from the sale of sport fish licenses to deal with adverse impacts.
-1
Proposed Solution: The solution to this issue is to create a funding mechanism that
benefits all parties involved in these fisheries. Therefore the following conceptual idea is
offered for review and action:
L The sport fish license requirement for personal use fisheries is eliminated (proposal
166 to be taken up by the Alaska Board of Fisheries in March 2010 would do this if
passed —the proposal is attached at the end of this document). If this proposal does not
pass the legislature can remove the requirement.
2. Upon removal of the sport fish license requirement a bill is introduced into the
Legislature that creates a 20 dollar license fee per household for personal use fishing.
3. Included in that bill is intent language that allocate 60% of the license sale revenue to
local governments for use in management of the fisheries on their lands and to provide
infrastructure for these fisheries. For example, the Kenai River Personal Use Dip Net
Fishery takes place primarily on Kenai city lands and therefore they would receive an
allocation for that fishery. In contrast, the Kasilof River personal use fishery is under the
Kenai Peninsula Borough and therefore the allocation for that fishery would be to the
KPB.
4. The remaining 40% of the monies generated would be allocated to the State of Alaska
Departments who are required to manage the fisheries (ADF &G) or the lands (DNR).
5. Allocation of funds would be based on the level of participation in the various fisheries
and the need for infrastructure to reduce adverse impacts from the concentration of
people and the cost to local governments. An initial allocation plan would be prepared by
the Governor's office during the annual budget preparation.
6. This solution would be implemented for the 2011 fishing season.
Cost analysis: Since personal use fishing is separate and distinct in regulation it is
anticipated that this proposal would generate additional funds to the State of Alaska and
to local governments.
Those participants in the personal use fishery who also sport fish would be required to get
an additional license but that is not unreasonable given it is a separate and distinct
activity. However, only one personal use fishing permit per household would be required
so those individuals who only personal use would save money as family members would
not be required to purchase a sport fish license.
The benefit to local governments is obvious. It would help share the burden of
management and provide a cushion for the risk taken by local governments in case of run
failures.
2-
Please note that this proposal was introduced almost a year ago before certain
information was available. The rationale for the proposal has changed and the BOF can
legally require a sport fish license. They cannot set the amount of the license.
PROPOSAL 166 5 AAC 17.010. Methods, means and general restrictions. Eliminate
requirement of having a sport fishing license to fish in personal use fisheries as follows:
(a) Finfish, shellfish, and aquatic plants may be taken for personal use only by [A
HOLDER OF A VALID RESIDENT ALASKA SPORT FISHING LICENSE OR BY]
an Alaskan resident. [EXEMPT FROM LICENSING UNDER AS.16.05.400.]
ISSUE: This requirement is only in board regulation and has never been authorized by
the Alaska Legislature as required by law. Under 5 AAC 77.001 personal use is defined
as not being sport fishing, so it should not require a sport license.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF NOTIDNG IS DONE? The Board does not have the
authority to require a sport fish license, so it is not enforceable in court.
WILL THE QUALITY OF THE RESOURCE HARVESTED OR PRODUCTS
PRODUCED BE IMPROVED? No.
WHO IS LIKELY TO BENEFIT? Personal use fishermen.
WHO IS LIKELY TO SUFFER? No one.
OTHER SOLUTIONS CONSIDERED? I have submitted a petition also.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
REVIEWER LETTER
DEAR REVIEWER: June 2009
The Alaska Board of Fisheries will consider the attached book of regulatory proposals at its
October 2009 through March 2010 meetings. The proposals concern changes to the state's
fishing regulations. Members of the public, organizations, advisory conunittees, and staff timely
submitted these proposals. The proposals are published essentially as they were received.
The proposals in this book are presented as brief statements summarizing the intended regulatory
changes. In cases where confusion might arise or where the regulation is complex, proposed
changes are also indicated in legal format. In this format, bolded and underlined words are
additions to the regulation text, and capitalized words or letters in square brackets [XXXX] are
deletions from the regulation text.
You are encouraged to read all proposals presented in this book. Some regulations have
statewide application and some regulations may affect other regions or fisheries of the state.
Also, some proposals recommend changes to multiple fisheries within an area or region.
In this book the proposals are first grouped by the meeting to which they pertain (see
PROPOSAL INDEX for each meeting). Within each meeting the proposals are then organized
by region, fishery or species. These proposal lists are not in roadmap order for the meeting. The
board will generate a roadmap for deliberations prior to each meeting when committee
assignments are made. The roadmap may be changed up to and during the meeting.
Before taking action on these proposed changes to the regulations, the board would like your
written comments and/or oral testimony on any effects the proposed changes would have
on your activities.
After reviewing the proposals, please send written comments to:
ATTN: BOF COMMENTS
Boards Support Section
Alaska Department of Fish and Game
P.O. Box 115526
Juneau, AK 99811 -5526
Fax: 907 465 -6094
Public comment, in combination with Advisory Committee comments and ADF &G staff
presentations, provide the Board of Fisheries with useful biological and socioeconomic
information. You are encouraged to mail or fax your written comments to the above Juneau
address at least two weeks before the scheduled meeting. See Tentative Meeting Schedule on
Page v for the comment deadline for each meeting. Receipt by this date will ensure inclusion in
the board workbook. Comments received after that time will be presented to board members at
the time of the meeting, but may not be printed in the board workbook. Written comments, as
well as public testimony, will be accepted during the board meetings. Written comments become
public documents.
When providing written comments regarding these proposals, list the proposal number to which
your comment pertains and specifically whether you "support" or "oppose" the proposal. This
will ensure that your comments are correctly noted for the board members. If the comments
support a modification in the proposal, please indicate "support as amended" and provide a
preferred amendment in writing.
Please briefly explain WHY you are in support or opposition of the proposal. Board actions
are based on a complete review of the facts involved in each proposal, not a mere calculation of
comments for or against a proposal. Advisory committees and other groups also need to
explain the rationale behind recommendations. Minority viewpoints from an advisory
committee should be noted in advisory committee minutes along with the majority
recommendation. The board benefits greatly from understanding the pro and cons of each issue.
A brief description consisting of a couple of sentences is sufficient. If making comments on
more than one proposal, please do not use separate pieces of paper. Simply begin the next set of
written comments by listing the next proposal number.
Written comments will be photocopied so please use 8 1/2" x 11" paper and leave reasonable
margins on all sides, allowing for hole punches. Whether typed or handwritten, use dark ink and
write legibly.
Pertinent policies and findings, proposals, written comment deadlines, meeting calendars and
notices for the Board of Fisheries meetings are posted on the Board Support website at
hup://www.boards.aelfg.state.ak.us/
Agendas for each Board of Fisheries meeting will be available prior to the meeting. Also, the
most current roadmap will be provided at the specific meeting, which will set forth the order in
which proposals will be considered.
Persons with a disability needing special accommodations in order to comment on the proposed
regulations should contact the Boards Support Section at (907) 465 -4110 no later than two weeks
prior to the scheduled meeting to make any necessary arrangements.
SPECIAL NOTES: The board applies various statutes and policies when considering fisheries
allocations and when addressing salmon proposals: I) When addressing fishery allocations
among sport, guided sport, personal use, and/or commercial fisheries, the board considers the
"Allocation Criteria" (AS 16.05.251(e)). 2) When addressing salmon proposals the board may
consider the "Mixed Stock Salmon Policy" (5 AAC 39.220). 3) The board may also consider the
"Sustainable Salmon Fisheries Policy" (5 AAC 39.222). You may wish to review these policies
as you prepare comments for the board. These policies are accessible on the board's website at
the above web address. Also, see Page xxi for information on the board's procedures for

Adopted 10/9/08
PROPOSAL 165 5 AAC 77.xxx. New Section. Delay opening personal use fishery until
escapement goal is met as follows:
Personal use dipnetting will only begin after the biological escapement goal for a stream is met.
ISSUE: Personal use dipnetting has, by the default of the Board, been given priority over all other
fishing. There never has been a proposal before the Board giving this priority and allowing the
public to comment on it.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF NOTHING IS DONE? In times of low returns sport and
commercial fishing will be curtailed or closed because dipnetters have taken too many fish before
the escapement goal is met. Personal use should only begin after the biological escapement goal has
been met. Sport and commercial fishing was here long before there ever was a personal use fishery.
No priority was ever given for personal use in statute or regulation.
WILL THE QUALITY OF THE RESOURCE HARVESTED OR PRODUCTS PRODUCED
BE IMPROVED? No.
WHO IS LIKELY TO BENEFIT? Businesses and guides who depend on sport fishing.
Commercial fishermen who depend on fishing for their livelihood as stated in Article VIII, Section
15 of the State Constitution.
WHO IS LIKELY TO SUFFER? Those who think that their own living schedules should dictate
the opening of dipnetting.
OTHER SOLUTIONS CONSIDERED? Change the bag limit of dipnetters to the daily sport fish
bag limit. The board already denied this.
PROPOSED BY: Steve Vanek (HQ -09F -111)
PROPOSAL 166 5 AAC 77.010. Methods, means and general restrictions. Eliminate
requirement of having a sport fishing license to fish in personal use fisheries as follows:
(a) Finfish, shellfish, and aquatic plants may be taken for personal use only by [A HOLDER OF
A VALID RESIDENT ALASKA SPORT FISHING LICENSE OR BY] an Alaskan resident.
[EXEMPT FROM LICENSING UNDER AS.16.05.400.]
ISSUE: This requirement is only in board regulation and has never been authorized by the Alaska
Legislature as required by law. Under 5 AAC 77.001 personal use is defined as not being sport
fishing, so it should not require a sport license.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF NOTHING IS DONE? The Board does not have the authority to
require a sport fish license, so it is not enforceable in court.
148
WILL THE QUALITY OF THE RESOURCE HARVESTED OR PRODUCTS PRODUCED

WHO IS LIKELY TO BENEFIT? Personal use fishermen.
WHO IS LIKELY TO SUFFER? No one.
OTHER SOLUTIONS CONSIDERED? I have submitted a petition also.
PROPOSED BY: Ken Tarbox (SC -09F -017)
PROPOSAL 167 5 AAC 39.105. Types of legal gear. Modify definition of mechanical
jigging machine as follows:
(d)(25) a mechanical jigging machine is a device that deploys a line with lures or baited
hooks, and retrieves that line and lures or hooks with electrical, hydraulic, or mechanically
powered assistance; a mechanical jigging machine allows the line with lures or hooks to be
fished only in the water column; a mechanical jigging machine must be attached to a vessel
registered to fish with a mechanical jigging machine and may not be anchored or operated off the
vessel.
ISSUE: The definition of mechanical jigging machine is not clear on whether baited hooks are
allowed.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF NOTHING IS DONE? Continued misunderstanding over baiting
of jig hooks.
WILL THE QUALITY OF THE RESOURCE HARVESTED OR PRODUCTS
PRODUCED BE IMPROVED? Unknown.
WHO IS LIKELY TO BENEFIT? The public and agencies will benefit from clear and
consistent regulatory language.
WHO IS LIKELY TO SUFFER? Unknown.
OTHER SOLUTIONS CONSIDERED? None.
PROPOSED BY: Alaska Department of Fish and Game (HQ -09F -125)
PROPOSAL 168 5 AAC 39.117. Vessel Length; bulbous bow. Repeal the length limit on
salmon seine vessels in Alaska as follows:
The preferred solution is for the Board to repeal the length limit on salmon seine vessels in Alaska.
