ITEM 5: OLD BUSINESS
5 -a. Discussion -- Drift Boat Pullout Update
The Commission reviewed the January 11, 2002 KRSMA letter added at the beginning
of the meeting. Public Works Director Lyon reviewed recent discussion of the City
Council related to a drift boat pullout. Commission comments included:
• Aware kicker motors were allowed for guides, which would be slow for
guides.
• Ten horsepower motors would be safe, but would take time and would
save money.
• Interest in continuing to pursue a pullout.
• Cost of developing a pullout would not get cheaper.
• Data of drift boats down river would need to be collected.
Council Member Gabriel reported issues were defined at the Board of Fisheries
meeting and the cost -to- benefit ratio was not there for Council.
Commission's recommendation was to wait one summer, gather drift boat data at the
dock, determine the usage, and, see what the ten horsepower motors would produce.
Council Member Gabriel also noted Council requested the City Clerk to contact
members of the Borough Assembly, Borough Administration, City of Soldotna Council
Members, and City of Soldotna Administration to schedule a joint work session to
discuss common concerns. He suggested the pullout could be included as one of the
items of concern to discuss.
Commission would like to revisit the issue in September.
ITEM 6: NEW BUSINESS -- None.
ITEM 7: REPORTS
7 -a. Director -- Director Lyon reported the following items:
• The draft FY12 budget was distributed to Council on Friday.
• The repainting of the restrooms at the dock was included in the budget.
• The dock pile repair would be bid to encumber 2011 budget funds and
the project would be completed after the dip net fishery.
