SUBJECT: Dock Survey Forms
At the last regular meeting of the Harbor Commission you briefly discussed the idea about
providing public survey forms at the dock facility. Attached are some examples of a more
extensive survey performed at the Homer and Whittier Small Boat Harbor.
The attached survey is more in depth than what I envision being performed informally at our
dock facility. However, with that being said, I believe there could be information pertinent to
our situation that we may want to discuss for inclusion. My suggestion would be to figure out
what information is important and keep it simple.

Whittier Small Foat Harbor Survey
Research conducted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
Alaska District
in cooperation with the City of Whittier.
The public report burden for this data collection effort is estimated at 30 minutes per
survey, including the time for reviewing instructions, gathering needed data, completing
and reviewing the information. Respondents should be aware that notwithstanding any
other provision of law, an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid
OMB control number.
OMB number 0710 -0001 expires September 30, 2009.
Dear Harbor User,
Whittier Small Boat Harbor is currently utilized beyond its capacity. Many users
compete for limited space at the harbor during the busy summer months. Given
Whittier's road access and the expanding populations in the Mat -Su, Anchorage and
Kenai, demand for moorage space is expected to increase. The Corps of Engineers is
conducting research to assist the City in the evaluation of a future harbor project at the
Head of the Bay.
You were chosen to participate in this survey because you are either a current or
previous user of the harbor. Your answers to the enclosed survey questions will assist
in planning the future harbor expansion. Your participation is voluntary. If you use the
Whittier Harbor for more than one vessel, please fill out a survey for each vessel. You
can contact harbor personnel at the above telephone number for assistance.
Please complete the survey at your earliest convenience, seal it in the enclosed
envelope, and drop it any mailbox (return postage has been provided). You can also
return the completed survey to the harbormaster's office or fax to the above telephone
number. Your response is very important to us and will assist in evaluation of the
benefits for an expanded harbor. All information you provide will be kept confidential
and will not be associated with your name.
We appreciate your assistance with this important project.
Thank you,
Mark Earnest
