Kenai River Bluff Erosion/Stabilization
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 (in 2006 dollars) of property and improvements will be
ost, without the construction of stabilization improvements.
The total cost estimate for the project is $ 20 million.
Approximately $ 1.5 million has been spent to date on
preliminary engineering & studies. Kenai voters approved a $
2 million bond sale at the October 2007 election. Recently the
Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly passed a resolution to
provide the quarry rock for the project at no cost. The value
of the rock is estimated at $ 4.8 million. Total funding in -hand
and in -kind is approximately $ 10.2 million.
Additional
$ 1,750,000 from
the State of
Alaska, and
$ 17,000,000 from
the Federal
Government
through the US
Corps of
Engineers
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
present financial condition the opportunity to recieve
funding is as good as it has been in some years.
2
New Water Transmission mains (Phase
III)
1. Replace approximately 3,200 If of asbestos cement (AC)
water main which is presently the sole connection from the
City's water production facilities and the distribution grid. Any
failure of the AC piping would constitute a catastrophic failure
of the City of Kenai's municipal water supply utility. 2.
Construction of 2,500 If of new water main along Swires
Road between the Kenai Spur Highway & Lawton Drive. This
will provide a cross - connec Lion between an existing water
transmission main and the new water transmission main
being constructed on Lawton Drive. These improvements will
increase system reliance, and increase both operating
pressures and flow volumes.
$ 1,557,000.00
A grant application for this project has been submitted
under the State of Alaska, Department of Environmental
Conservation (ADEC) Municipal matching Grant Program
(MMG). We have recxeived the scoring and this project
has scored well enough to probably be included in the
Govemor's FY 2012 capital budget. The City Council
passed Resolution No. 2012 -46 identifying this project as
the number one ADEC MMG priority.
3
Paving & Improvements to City Streets
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.
$ 1,000,000.00
Administration recommends that a project of this type be
perpetually included in capital project requests to the State
of Alaska.

Construct New City Light/Heavy
Equipment Maintenance Shop
This project would construct a 20,000 sf maintenance shop
to replace the existing shop. The exsiting shop is a collection
of buildings and conex's that lacks the room to perform
maintenance on the City's equipment fleet, and also lacks
engineered ventilation systems as well as other
improvements found in designed facilities.
$ 3,500,000.00
Shop facilities to support operations and maintenance
activities are always difficult projects to move forward. The
present facility was never designed to facilitate the support
manitenance activities which are being accomplished.
There may be an opportunity for Federal participation,
specifically FAA funding in an amount comensurate with
Airport use of the facility.
Vehicle Storage Facility for Kenai Senior
Center Vehicles
This project would construct a six -bay vehicle storage facility
at the City maintenance yard. 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.
$ 400,000.00
6
City Hall HVAC & Energy Conservation
Improvements
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
adequate number of air changes to meet current code
requirements. The copy room which contains the computer
servers is consistently at a significantly elevated temperature.
Improvements would include the removal /replacement of the
exterior building panels, replacement/addition of insulation in
the walls and roof, removal and replacement of the roof
mounted air - handling system with a ground -level HVAC /air
handling system, and replacement of the existing roof.
$ 400,000.00
This project could also be a candidate for the DOE
competitive grant program.
7
Capital Improvements to Support State
Personal Use Fishery
This project would construct three Fish Cleaning/Waste
Transfer & Enforcement/Data Collection Stations. The three
stations would be located at the North Beach, South Beach,
and City Boat Launch.
$ 300,000.00
In a recent candidates forum Govemor Parnell stated that
his administration is willing to invest State resources to
mitigate the imact of the personal use fishery on the City of
Kenai and the Kenai Peninsula.

City of Kenai Recreation Center - Energy
Upgrades /Improvements

City of Kenai Wastewater Treatment
Plant Upgrades & Renovations
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.
$ 1,800,000.00
This is the first phase of a three phase project to construct
improvements to the WWTP ans identified in the WWTP
Master Plan prepared by CH2MHill in 2003.

Bridge Access Road, Pedestrian
Pathway
This project would construct a pedestrian pathway from the
Kenai Spur Highway to Kalifomsky Beach Road along Bridge
Access Road. This area is heavily traveled by pedestrians,
sight seers, bicyclists, etc. This project is approximately 2
miles long and would complete the 24 mile Unity Trail that
connects Kenai and Soldotna, along both the Spur Highway
and Kalifornsky Beach Road.
$ 2,000,000.00
I am not aware of any sources of funding that are available
for this project, and several regulatory agencies (EPA,
USDF &W) have expressed significant opposition to the
project.

asphalt has and is failing.
FUNDING
Administration believes thios project would best be funded
from a State /Federal appropriation(s) such as priority #3,
above.
OTHER PROJECTS WHICH WERE CONSIDERED

Garages (5) for Vintage Pointe
Congregate Housing
This project would construct a building five garages for rent
to residents of Vintage Pointe. Each garage would be
15'x20', heated, with an electrically actuated O/H garage door
and a 3'0" personnel door.
$ 125,000.00
Demand for garages at Vintage Pointe is questionable. The
Council on Aging discussed this issue at several meetings
and the Administration met with them and presented the
results of a resident poll. Following Administration's
meeting with the Council on Aging the Administration met
with the residents of Vintage Pointe and it appeared
support for paying $200 a month for a garage was even
less than the previous poll results.
Mommsen Subdivision, First Street Re-
Construction
This project would re- construct First Street from California
Avenue to Florida Avenue. This roadway exhibits differential
movement of the curb & gutter and asphalt. Further the
asphalt has and is failing.
$ 360,000.00
Administration believes thios project would best be funded
from a State /Federal appropriation(s) such as priority #3,

Central Heights Roadways, Street
Lighting System
Reconstruction /Replacement &
Construction of a Storm water System
1. Replace the existing street lighting system 2. Replace the
existing asphalt surfaced roadways and install new base
material as needed 3. Install curb & gutter and a piped storm
water collection system 4. Construct sidewalks
$ 1,360,000.00
The cost estimate for specific components of this project is
included ijn the attached information. The most practical
project is probably to replace the lighting and asphalt (est.
cost $332,000). A storm water system is challenging as the
subdivision was not originally designed taking into account
surface /piped drainage. Curb & gutter is very expensive
and it's installation would mandate the construction of a
storm water drainange system.
New Fire Engine
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 it's
useful fife and should be replaced.

City of Kenai Indoor Turf Field Facility
This project would construct a 100'x200' indoor turf field,
possibly as an addition to the existing Kenai Multi- Purpose
Facility. The facility would be used by area schools, pre-
schools, soccer and other organizations.
$ 5,000,000.00
This project has been discussed by the parks & Recreation
Commission and it is my understanding they wish to
continue discussion on the subject. This project is certainly
worthy of discussion but significant work needs to be
accomplished to determine its feasibility.
City of Kenai Campground for

Project would construct a tent/vehicle campground located at
the Kenai Sports Complex( ?) located at Section 36
$ 250,000.00
Lower Kenai River Drift Boat Pull -Out
Project would provide lower river access point for pull -out of
drift boats only.
Unknown
ADNR is accomplishing a "Needs Assessment Study"
scheduled to be finished in 2011. It's doubtful any funding
would be available for this project in advance of the
completion of the study, and that State /federal funding
would be appropriated to a State Agency that would be
responsible for the construction and operation of the
facility.
Kenai Spur Highway - Upgrade Five
Intersections
This project is proposed to provide safety improvements to
Beaver Loop, Thompson Park, Strawberry Road, Silver
Salmon, and TBD to include turn lanes and lighting. Traffic
accidents at these intersections usually involve at least one
vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed, and are of
significant severity.
$ 3,000,000,00
This project has ranked high on the 2010 -2013 STIP and
funding isproposed in SFY 2011 for conceptual design, and
ROW acquisition.
Kenai Spur Highway - Upgrade to Five
Lane configuration Between Soldotna
and Kenai
Conflicting traffic patterns (through traffic vs
business /residential traffic) and increased traffic counts have
increased the number and severity of accidents between
Kenai & Soldotna. Planned commercial developments will
significantly increase traffic in the near future
$ 30,000,000.00
This project has not ranked high on the 2010 -2013 STIP.
A predocessor project, the improvement of five
intersections of this roadway has ranked well on the STIP
and funding for conceptual study & ROW acuisition is
proposed to begin in SFY 2011. The full five -lane project
will not be considered for funding until the intersection
project is through design, or possibly during construction.

MEMO:
TO: City Council
FROM: Rick Koch
DATE: October 1, 2011
SUBJECT: 2011 Kenai River Dipnet (Personal Use) Fishery Report
The purpose of this correspondence is to transmit for your review and discussion the above
referenced annual report.
As detailed in the report, the City generated non -grant revenues of $320,634.00 against non -
grant expenditures (current & projected) of $302,262.67, or revenues over expenditures of
$18,371.33. If you include grant revenues and expenditures, the excess of revenues over
expenditures would decline to 517,805.33. The $566.00 difference represents the City's match
of grant related expenditures.
The 2011 season, based on non -grant revenues, exhibited the greatest activity to date,
exceeding the 2010 non -grant revenues ($287,035) by $33,599 or almost 12 %. There were no
fee increases from the 2010 season so this is an apples -to- apples comparison.
Included in the above non -grant expenditures are estimated costs for items deemed to be
necessary to be prepared for the for the 2012 fishery. These items are as follows:
Fixed Repeater (Communications) - $25,000
The Seasonal Enforcement Officers (SEO's) and Police Officers do not presently have
uninterrupted radio communication on the North Beach unless an idling patrol vehicle with a
mobile repeater is stationed at the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). This has resulted in
SEO's being out of communication with dispatch and this is not an acceptable situation. This
expenditure will install a fixed repeater at the WWTP to enhance communications at the mouth
of the Kenai River. I will be speaking to the State about a specific reimbursement for this item.
1
Concrete Jersey Barriers - $22,500
Additional semi - permanent traffic control devices are required at both the City Dock and the
North Beach. At the North Beach the access thoroughfare to the beach and set net fisheries to
the north needs to be more clearly defined as each year we have encountered problems with
vehicles from the dip net fishery blocking access to the beach. Additional traffic delineation is
also required at the City Docks.
20 Ton Tilt -Deck Trailer (used) - $7,500
To transport concrete jersey barriers a heavy equipment trailer is required. The City does not
have a heavy duty trailer of this type, and for the past several years an employee has allowed
the City the use of their trailer. This trailer could also be used for transport of ATV's, other
traffic control items, and fee shacks.
Portable Traffic Delineators (Flo- Orange Candles w /bases) - $1,500
Additional portable traffic delineators are required at various locations throughout the fishery.
Portable devices are used to separate lanes of traffic at fee shacks, the boat launch, etc.
Polaris Ranger (or equal) - $12,000
In addition to other duties, last year Parks & Recreation personnel began checking vehicles on
the beaches for parking /camping receipts. We found that there were many participants in the
fishery whose parking /camping receipts were expired or they had entered during hours the fee
shacks were not in operation and they had not paid. Immediately upon commencement of this
activity and placement of warnings on vehicles /tents, compliance increased significantly. This
all terrain vehicle will be used for this enforcement activity as well as other Parks & Recreation
activities such as trash collection, traffic control, signage, etc.
City personnel successfully responded to many challenges during the fishery this year. The
higher volume of participants coupled with the Alaska Department of Fish & Game's decision to
make the fishery around - the -clock (24hr) resulted in services being harder to provide, and
conflicts being more difficult to solve. As only one example, it was necessary to institute a system
in which set -net fisherman needing access to the North Beach Spruce Street Access would
contact Public Safety Personnel so an escort could be provided for passage through the
personal use fishery participants.
Fish waste is a continuous and increasing problem. The volume of fish waste has increased
dramatically and a twenty -four hour fishery eliminates any time to attempt to clean the
beaches without being in conflict with fishery participants.
We are working with both the Alaska Department of Fish & Game and the Governor's Office to
determine what level of support /involvement the State of Alaska is willing to undertake. It is my
intent to have a fish waste system in place next year that results in fish waste not being allowed
to be deposited in the Kenai River and /or its beaches. I estimate the cost of such an effort to be
2
$100,000 - $150,000. It is my intent to derive revenue to support the fish waste system through
user fees, appropriations from the State of Alaska, or a combination of the two.
We had planned on having the new pedestrian bridge in place at Meek's Crossing prior to this
year's fishery. Given the construction constraints associated with this activity it is easier to
construct the project following freeze -up and it will be accomplished later this fall /winter.
In summary, I am extremely pleased and impressed with the performance of our City
employees in response to the fishery.
Thank you in advance for your time and attention in reviewing the Dipnet Report.
If you have any questions, please contact me at your convenience.

SUBJECT: Dipnet Report Summary
Enclosed is the City of Kenai's annual Dipnet Report for 2011, with reports from Police,
Parks, Public Works, Fire and Finance. For the 2011 dipnet fishery, the City had total
non -grant revenues of $320,634 and total non -grant expenditures of $302,262.67. A
strong sockeye return brought a tremendous number of dipnet participants to the mouth
of the Kenai River. This large influx of dipnetters directly caused an increase to City
expenditures. During the dipnet fishery, the City hired three additional field employees
to help with dipnet- related operations.
The Police Department experienced a significant increase in calls for service. In order to
effectively handle issues associated with the large volumes of people, Police dipnet
expenditures increased fom $25,582 in 2010 to $40,176 in 2011. Dipnet calls for service
(not related to cash pick -ups) nearly doubled, from 62 in 2010 to 121 in 2011. The
number of calls related to disorderly conduct, harassment, assault, or disturbance more
than tripled from 2010. SEOs wrote 59 dipnet - related citations, compared to just 6
citations in 2010. Despite the increased work load, officers and SEOs maintained a
positive, problem- solving attitude.
The Parks Department was again very busy during the dipnet fishery. Several days into
the fishery, the Parks Department added two employees to primarily help the Parks and
Police Departments with parking /camping fee compliance.
The Public Works Department provided better dipnet- related signage in the Little League
field parking lots and also at the end of Kenai Ave. Crews added gravel to the North
Beach to allow vehicles to enter /exit the beach without getting stuck. Dipnet participants
encroached on this improvement and impeded the expeditious movement of setnet
vehicles. As a result, the City hopes to purchase and deploy concrete jersey barriers to
prevent congestion along this gravel improvement.
Several days into the fishery, the City Dock hired an additional dock attendant to help
direct boat launch traffic.
4
The Fire ,Department responded to a significant increase in dipnet calls for service, from
10 in 2010 to 15 in 2011.
Traffic control volunteers were utilized at the City Dock and on Kenai Ave., providing
approximately 300 work hours. Their welcomed efforts again saved the City
approximately $3,600 (300 hrs x $12 an hour — based on seasonal Parks employee pay
rates).
Three mobile vendors participated in the fishery. Instead of having reserved parking
spaces, the vendors paid for available dipnet parking spaces. This did not appear to be
problematic for vendors.
Overall, the City departments very effectively managed the City's responsibilities to the
dipnet fishery. The City departments convened with the City Manager, and have
prioritized the additional equipment which is needed to help the City better manage
dipnet operations for 2012. We are fortunate that the City administration ensures that
City departments have necessary resources to effectively manage dipnet operations (i.e.
the hiring of three additional employees during the fishery). The remainder of the report
provides greater detail of the City's 2011 dipnet operations (specific to each department).

Dipnet Report 2011

(SEO), Sgt. Kelly George, Sgt. Scott McBride, Lt. David Ross, and Chief Gus Sandahl
Introduction
This report summarizes the Kenai Police Department activity specific to the dipnet fishery. The
fishery opened on Sunday, July 10th at 6:00 a.m. and closed on Sunday, July 31 at midnight. On
July 20`h, the dipnet fishery was opened to 24 hour per day fishing for the remainder of the
season.
The Kenai Police Department employed four seasonal enforcement officers again this summer.
Two returned with prior experience, and two were new this year. The presence of four SEOs
again contributed significantly to smooth operations. They were a constant presence to answer
questions, give direction, monitor and enforce parking and traffic flow, and provide immediate
assistance for various issues. The SEOs spent a total of 545.5 hours working during the dipnet
fishery. Out of these, a total of 446.1 hours were specific to dipnet (time on the beaches, at Kenai
City Dock, or performing other dipnet - related duties).
Similar to previous years, the 2011 dipnet season started slowly and increased in intensity until
the peak during the second week of the season (July 23`d). The North Beach parking lots were
completely full by July 15th and the South Beach, near the mouth, was also highly saturated by
this date. After the second weekend the amount of people began to decline, often leaving the
North Beach parking lot around 50% full. By the end of the season the North Beach parking lot
was nearly empty.
In the spring of 2011 the Kenai Fire Department
purchased a Polaris Ranger side -by -side which
was used primarily by SEOs during the dipnet
fishery. The Ranger was equipped with
emergency lights and a backboard in order to
help provide a visible law enforcement presence
on the North Beach during the dipnet fishery.
The Kenai Police Department's Polaris Ranger,
purchased in 2010, was utilized on the South
Beach. Having a Ranger on each beach proved to be a valuable resource to officers and SEOs.
The KPD Ranger was parked on private property near the South Beach entrance. The KFD
6
Ranger was parked at the Sewer Treatment Plant. These locations allowed for efficient access to
the fishery.
North Beach
North Beach required the majority of Officer and SEO working hours. The problems most
commonly encountered were parking violations (i.e. failure to pay or display permit). SEOs
efficiently dealt with violators by leaving warnings and checking back within one to two hours to
see that the situation was resolved. SEOs issued
58 citations this dipnet season. The majority of
these citations were the result of paid parking
violations, however more than 10 percent of the
issued citations resulted from violations of
vehicles in prohibited areas.
As with every year, SEOs and officers
encountered traffic related issues within the North
Beach area. The peak weeks resulted in heavy
congestion on Kenai Ave. Limited space for
vehicles at the end of Kenai Ave. continues to
cause problems with traffic flow. Officers and
volunteers worked hard to keep traffic moving as efficiently as possible. After the peak week,
there were only a few instances when officers and SEOs had to respond to traffic congestion on
Kenai Avenue.
The little league ball fields served as overflow parking again this 2011 dipnet season. The current
signage and use of a Parks and Recreation employee on South Spruce was sufficient to control
the overflow parking lot.
Fencing at the end of Kenai Ave. continued to be a problem this year. Although the city put up
temporary fencing, it was quickly trampled by campers and careless dipnetters. Permanent
fencing at the end of Kenai Ave. would best protect the dunes and spare the city the time spent
constantly repairing temporary fencing.
SEOs left warnings on tents that didn't display permits. In addition to these efforts, on July 21,
Parks and Recreation hired two employees to check parking permits and camping permits on
North and South Beach. It was determined in many of these cases that tent campers had paid for
camping but did not have a permit displayed. The addition of the two Parks employees greatly
7
contributed to the City's collaborative efforts of maintaining compliance with dipnet associated
fees.
The North Beach had three mobile
vendors, who sold bags of ice,
hotdogs, beverages and ice cream
during the dipnet season. One
vendor was at the beach nearly every
day after the peak weekend and paid
for parking. This year there were no
designated vendor parking spaces,
which was not problematic for
vendors.
Several setnet frshennan utilize the
North Beach access every year to travel to /from their set net sites. The City continues to
facilitate efficient traffic flow of their vehicles by creating an access road and directing it with
cones. Further improvements are planned for next year with Jersey barriers along the road. The
setnet fishermen had no recommendations for changes in the beach access area. SEOs
encountered issues with parking in the access area until additional No Parking barricades were
added. On July 23`1, the access road became so congested with dipnet vehicles that SEOs had to
utilize the Ranger to escort setnet vehicles on and off the beach.
Kenai City Dock
Activity at the dock quickly increased during the first week. Due to several extremely low tides,
dock personnel closed the dock for up to two hours on either side of the low tide. KPD and SPD
message boards were used to notify motorists along Bridge Access Road of the closures. During
one of these four hour shut down times traffic backed up onto the highway and blocked exits
used by semis from commercial fish processors. Three State Troopers, three KPD Officers, and
an SEO responded to relieve the congestion. To help improve traffic flow, the City Dock hired a
supplementary employee to check parking permits and direct traffic. City dock personnel
created a two lane traffic pattern near the boat launch. This traffic pattern created a lane for
loading boats and a lane for launching. This system seemed to alleviate some of the congestion
that historically builds up on Boat Launch road.
South Beach
The Law Enforcement presence on the South Beach was less than on the North Beach. The most
common issues addressed by Officers and SEO's were minors operating ATVs without helmets,
littering, overflowing dumpsters and dipnetters failing to display camping passes on their tents.
There were several calls concerning traffic congestion in both the access road to Inlet Salmon
cannery and the parking area on Dunes Road. There is often confitsion associated with Dunes
Rd. because it is near the Kenai City Limits. Historically there have been complaints from the
public and the homeowners on Dunes Rd. because the City of Kenai operates a pay shack in the
parking lot, but does not provide law enforcement to the area. The parking lot is usually
congested and difficult to navigate during the weekends of the dipnet fishery.
8
Miscellaneous
During the 2011 season there were several instances that required response from KFD. During
these instances, SEOs and KPD Officers assisted by clearing traffic and making the Polaris
Ranger utility vehicle available for KFD use when appropriate.
This year, as in past years, the SEOs collected a
large amount of lost, mislaid and abandoned
property. SEOs were successful at returning most
of the items.
Revenues from the 2010 dipnet fishery were used
to purchase mobile traffic barricades that proved
invaluable in dealing with parking issues as they
developed. Revenues were also used to purchase a
pickup for SEO use during the fishery. KPD was
unable to take delivery of the vehicle in time for this season, but
season.
will be used for the 2012
Dipnet Fishery Statistics
This year, the Kenai Police Department responded to 329 dipnet fishery related calls for service.
There were more problems with parking permits this year, which resulted in a greater number of
warnings and citations being issued.

Conclusion
Overall, the 2011 dipnet fishery went smoothly and posed few significant problems from a law
enforcement perspective. The presence of the four seasonal enforcement officers was critical to
the department's ability to respond to calls and maintain a law enforcement presence in and
around the dipnet fishery. Officers and SEOs spent many hours educating the public and
enforcing city ordinances and state laws (in addition to handling dipnet calls for service).
Adult volunteers again provided worthwhile
traffic control assistance to officers on Kenai
Ave. and at the City Dock during the middle
weekends.
Strong collaboration between the various City
departments (i.e. Police, Fire, Parks & Rec.,
Finance, & Public Works) continues to improve
the City's ability to manage the challenges
associated with the fishery.

MEMO:
TO: Gus Sandahl, Chief of Police
Terry Eubank, Finance Director
FROM: Robert J. Frates, Parks & Recreation Director
DATE: September 14, 2011
SUBJECT: 2011 Dip Net Report
The following summary highlights the Parks & Recreation's contribution toward the 2011
personal use fishery, including observations and related expenses.
The fishery opened on the traditional date of July 10th and concluded July 315` at midnight. The
seasonal opener began in typical fashion with a steady stream of participants vastly increasing
as the first weekend approached. By June 16`h, attendants were dispatched to open up
overflow parking at the Kenai Little Baseball complex along S. Spruce Street and the fishery was
in full swing.
By the end of the day of July 17, a record 230,643 sockeye salmon had entered the river with no
end in sight. Alaska Department of Fish and Game issued an Emergency Order liberalizing the
fishery round- the -clock effective at midnight on July 20`h. The total projected escapement was
now being estimated at over 2.3 million late -run sockeye.
Along with a well publicized record return of sockeye came a record number of participants,
most of which reside elsewhere in Alaska. As one might expect, the beaches, roadways, parking
areas, amenities, and facilities became extremely busy and staff resources taxed. I can't recall a
time that I have traveled to Anchorage (mid -July) and experienced as much traffic flowing
south. Unfortunately, the congested roadways leading to the Central Peninsula contributed to a
couple fatal vehicular accidents throughout the course of the fishery.
As mentioned in previous reports, the Kenai River Personal Use Fishery has become a top
destination for in -state residents seeking to participate in a personal use fishery. What used to
be a casual one or two day trip to the Kenai beaches has grown into well organized,
orchestrated "staycations." Although we still see a sharp incline in participation throughout the
weekends, many participants appear to be converging onto the beaches throughout the
12
weekends, many participants appear to be converging onto the beaches throughout the
weekday possibly hopeful of avoiding crowds. Publication with respect to run strength, timing
of the tides, and other fishery closures throughout the state are also influential factors. These
factors can cause the already heavy workload to extend well beyond the traditional peak
weekends, as was the case this season.
The growth and demand of this fishery is partly demonstrated in the following comparison of
Parks & Recreation expenditures from years past.
Year
Total
Expenditures
$105,159
$94,396
$84,041
$98,088
The increase in labor between 2008 and 2011 was approximately 250 hours and significantly
higher compared to earlier years. The total labor in 1998, for example, was 225 hours
compared to 2,055 hours in 2011. However, unlike years past, the addition of two gardener
positions allowed the department to continue unimpeded with respect to maintenance and
upkeep of flowerbeds and landscaped areas throughout town. With that said, approximately
58% of July's total staff hours were dedicated to operations of the personal use fishery.
There was an increase of 257 hours in labor compared to 2010 due to: 1) Labor dedicated to
fish removal and raking ( +50 hrs). 2) Hiring of two seasonal beach aides July 21st for purposes
of increasing parking and camping compliance on the north and south beaches ( +165 hrs); and
3) Labor required to maintain restrooms at the end of Alaska Ave. and City Dock part way
through the fishery ( +42 hrs). The KCHS ski team once again provided approximately 200 hours
in additional labor removing trash and debris off the beaches on Mondays and Fridays. Most of
this effort was focused on the north beach.
The first couple weeks were fairly typical with respect to our maintenance operations and level
of service calls. It wasn't until the latter part of the fishery that we began seeing a slight shift in
behavior with respect to treatment and use of restrooms, picnic tables, and the improper
disposal of trash and debris. It's interesting to note that more suggestions and generalized
complaints (parking, fees, and restrooms) were received during the last week of the fishery
than the previous two weeks.
One issue of particular concern occurred at the parking lot on Dunes Road. The resident
adjacent to the parking lot complained about litter, property damage, "round the clock noise"
and general lack of management of the parking lot. A dumpster and portable restroom was
provided prior to July 10 although the restroom was primarily intended for shack attendant use.
Perhaps additional restrooms can be looked at for next season to assist with solving a part of
what appears to be a larger issue.
Contracted waste disposal services on the north beach occurred seven days per week as
scheduled. Restroom service also occurred seven days per week with additional services
required on July 22 and 23. Services on the south beach were the same as above with
additional services needed July 16 -18 and July 20 -24. Neither contractor noted any particular
13
problems although we did have to erect some additional fencing around staged equipment at
Old Cannery Road to prevent blockage.

Dip net report 2011
'111.
1992
2011 was again the busiest season so far. During the month of July we responded to
148 calls for service, an increase of 36% from average monthly calls this year. We suspect some
of our calls are a result of increase in traffic, transient increase in population, or tourism, I have
not included them as part of the dip net report. 15 calls were directly related to the fisheries
season with an expenditure of 51,740 per call and $26,100 total. 12 of those calls required
recalls, and 8 of those 12 calls resulted in multiple recalls for staffing. With the success of the
dip net fishing for Alaska residents, 1 anticipate next year to continue the trend, and increase in
our calls for service.
Run # 0675 -11 Captain John Harris, Engineer John Wichman, FF Kyle Jensen, FF
Jeremiah Hamilton, and FF Justin Horton responded to 520 Bridge Access Road (Pacific Star
Seafood's) for a 64 YOM who was in cardiac arrest.
Upon arrival at the Pacific Star Seafood's processing plant, it was discovered that the
patient was on a fishing vessel (Mackerel FV) that was currently moored on the Kenai River.
Pacific Star Seafood's employees ferried all KFD personnel to the vessel. The patient was
transported to the shore, and ultimately to the CPH ED. All KFD personnel listed above assisted
in this transport. Class 2 recall initiated with 4 personnel responding.
Run # 0689 -11 R -7 responded to south beach for a 56 yo female complaining of difficulty
breathing. Pt stated that she became very cold when dipnetting and felt as if she was not
getting enough oxygen. 3 units responded with 4 personnel and we used the Ranger from the
south beach to get to the patient. Pt was transported to CPH. Class 1 recall initiated with Tilly
and Wilcox responding to station 1 .
Run # 0687 -11 @ 1315 we were called to the intersection of KSR and 5 Spruce St for a 26
YOM with a racing heart. 4 personnel responded in 2 units and were all on scene by 1318. Pt
20
began having symptoms while dip netting on the North beach. Class 1 recall initiated with Tilly
and Wilcox responding.
Run # 0700 -11 At approximately 1115 hours on Monday, 07/18/2011, KFD was advised
of a boat in distress near the city dock, that was out of fuel. No other agencies or city entities
were available to assist so KFD took fuel and made contact with the operator about 200yds
from the city dock. No recalls initiated for this call.
Run # 0703 -11 At 0722, R -7, U -10 and U -9 responded to the river bank at the Warren
Ames Bridge for an unconscious, not breathing male that fell into the river. Pt. was transported
to the hosp. in cardiac arrest. Class H recall was done and Wilcox came in.
Run # 00717 -11 At 1449 hours on 7/21/11 units were dispatched to Kenai Landing for a
73 YOM with shortness of breath. R7 and U10 responded, arriving on scene at 1458 hours to
find a severely hypothermic Pt. Pt had fallen out of his boat while dip netting and went under
another boat before being pulled out of the water by another dip netting boat. Class 1 recall
initiated with no response.
Run # 0718 -11 At 1825 hours on 7/21/11 units were dispatched to 520 BAR for a 65
YOM with a leg laceration. R7 and U11 responded, arriving on scene at 1826 hours. Pt
transported from Pacific Star Seafood's. Class 2 recall initiated with 1 person responding.
Run # 0725 -11 A request was made for the Kenai Fire Department to respond in our
Rescue Boat, for an adult male who had walked "too far out" on the Kenai Beach. All KFD
personnel were responding to a reported house fire (0726 -11), so as a result, KFD Chief Tilly
responded to the scene in his personal boat. Before any contact was made with the male, KPD
Chief Gus Sandahl verified that the man had returned to the shore without incident. Class 1
recall had already been initiated for the house fire and no personnel were able to respond to
this call.
Run # 0727 -11 FF Cory Lehl and NFD FF Brandon Stromberg responded via R -8 to the
North Beach of Kenai, for a 58 YOF who was experiencing high blood pressure. A mutual aid
request was issued to CES for an ambulance @ 1508 hours. CES transported the patient to the
CPH ED. Their run #11 -1121. As a result of multiple calls simultaneously, (0725, 0726, and this
one), no other personnel were available to respond to this.
Run # 0728 -11 Captain Mark Anderson, Engineer John Wichman, and FF Scott Summers
responded via R- 7 to the Kenai South Beach, for a UNK aged M, that had possibly fractured his
ankle. Upon arrival at the scene, the patient refused EMS transport. All KFD personnel returned
to HQ soon thereafter. A Class 2 Recall was issued @ 2004 hours. A Class 3 Recall was issued @
2014 hours. FM Eric Wilcox responded @ 2022 hours.
Run # 0729 -11 Captain Mark Anderson, Engineer John Wichman, and FF Scott Summers
responded to the South Beach of Kenai, for a hypothermic 3 YOM. Wichman and Summers
responded via R -7, while Anderson arrived in U -11. Upon arrival at the scene, it was discovered
that the child was somnolent, and no EMS treatment was required. A Class 2 Recall was issued
@ 0037 hours. A Class 3 Recall was issued @ 0042 hours. Engineer Tom Carver responded @
0050 hours.
Run # 0713 -11 At 1013 hours on 7/23/11 units were dispatched to Kenai Avenue for a
49 YOM, vomiting and disoriented. R7, U10 and U11 responded, arriving on scene at 1017
hours. The Pt was assessed, moved to the ambulance, prepared for transport, and transported
21
without incident to CPH ED with 2 personnel at 1043 hours. A class II recall was initiated at 1023
hours with Wichman responding.
Run # 0735 -11 At 1921 hours on 7/23/11 units were dispatched to BAR at the bridge
parking area for a female with diabetic issues. R7 and U11 responded, arriving on scene at 1926
hours. The Pt was assessed, moved to the ambulance, prepared for transport, and transported
without incident to CPH ED with 2 personnel at 1943 hours. A class I recall was initiated at 1932
hours with Dye and Carver responding.
Run # 736 -11 At 0232 hours on 7/24/11 units were dispatched to the north beach pay
shack for a unknown age female with CO exposure. R7 and U11 responded, arriving on scene at
0235 hours. The Pt was assessed, moved to the ambulance, prepared for transport, and
transported without incident to CPH ED with 2 personnel at 0248 hours. A class I recall was
initiated at 1932 hours with Wichman, Summers and Carver responding.
With the purchase of our new ranger we were able to have a ranger on both sides of the
river for responses onto the beach and we did use both for responses this year. With that being
said we did identify a need for a more stable and permanent mounting of a backboard or stokes
liter for transporting Pt's off of the beach using the Ranger's.
We also feel the need to have a trailer that both Ranger's could be loaded onto for
transporting these vehicles to and from the beach, or to the location of a search, forestry
incident, or any other multiple uses the Police or Fire Dept. could or might need them for.
During one of our training exercises the on duty shift was mapping the river during low
tides and struck a rock with the outboard motor. There was significant damage done to the
lower unit of the motor from the accident requiring us to expend $1,500.00 of unexpected
monies for repairs by ATEC marine.
We were able to address most of the upgrades to the boat before the season started
this year and are better equip for our service. We are still addressing the air leaks and think we
have found a solution to the problem. We will need to send the boat to Stormy Seas in Seward
for repairs, post season. The pressure relief valves are now obsolete and we are unable to find
parts, or replacements of the existing brand we currently have. We will have to have new ones
put in which will involve cutting the old ones out putting new ones in with surrounding
materials in a bonding process. We would also like to have the hull of the boat inspected to
make sure it is within specs and safe for our intended use. Items still to be purchased from last
year's wish list.
Anchor with Chain and Rope
Hand held search light. (With the 24hr opening of dip netting, this is a must have)
Rescue knives to be stored on the boat for cutting ropes, heavy lines, nets, or tangled
debris that may have persons, boats, or other things trapped.
Binoculars to be placed on the boat.
Pressure relief valve repairs /replacement.
Future upgrades will be to purchase a new 4 stroke motor with a Jet lower unit around
the 115 -130hp range.
22
I will work on compiling a price list of these additional items for the boat and Ranger
Items have already been addressed in our post dipnet meeting with CM Koch.

Conclusion:
Revenue collection occurred at a more consistent rate this season. In past seasons the second weekend
of dipnet has always accounted for the highest percentage of revenue and participants. This season
revenue collections remained at elevated levels for a ten day period and were not isolated to weekends.
The need for greater enforcement of parking limits and camping was identified and additional staffing
was added after the second weekend of the fishery. This certainly had a positive impact on overall
revenue collections. The department is exploring methods to increase enforcement and enhance revenue
collection in the future.
Overall the 2011 dipnet season was a success from the Finance Department's perspective. The safety of
our employees continues to be our strongest focus with reducing the amount of cash present at fee
stations our number one priority.

MEMO:
TO: City Council
FROM: Rick Koch
DATE: October 14, 2011
SUBJECT: Beaver Loop Roadway
The purpose of this correspondence is to discuss and provide status information regarding the
Beaver Loop Roadway Improvement project.
HISTORY
The City's submittal during the 2010 Statewide Transportation Improvement Plan (STIP)
included a request to reconstruct the Beaver Loop Roadway to include four -foot paved
shoulders and a separated pedestrian pathway. In return for the State of Alaska constructing
the improvements the City agreed to become the owner of the Beaver Loop Roadway including
the assumption of all maintenance and operation responsibilities.
STATUS
The City has received a draft Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) and a draft Commissioner's
Deed (CD). These MOA identifies the scope of the project and identifies the transfer of specific
responsibilities. The CD provides the mechanism for transfer of the ROW and assets to the City.
The City Administration and Legal have accomplished an initial review of the documents and
comments have been provided to the Alaska State Department of Transportation and Public
Facilities (ADOT /PF).
There are several hundred existing easements and permits presently administered by ADOT /PF
which will be transferred to the City following completion of the improvements. The
Administration requested copies of each of the easements /permits to determine the scope of
the responsibilities which would be transferred to the City. This information was requested by
the City in January of 2011 and received in September 2011, and is presently being reviewed.
Following our review comments /questions will be forwarded to ADOT /PF and a meeting to
discuss the project will be requested, probably in early November.
CITY OWNERSHIP
Operational commitments which will become the responsibility of the City include, but are not
limited to the following:
1. Maintenance of signage
2. Maintenance of roadway lighting
3. Snow /ice removal
4. Sanding
5. Sweeping
6. Crack -seal and pothole repair
7. Landscaping /Seeding
8. Long term repair /replacement of:
a. Lighting systems
b. Asphalt
9. Administration of:
a. Driveway permits
b. Utility permits
c. Encroachment permits
Attached is an updated cost estimate identifying annual maintenance costs, and an estimate of
the annualized cost to replace the roadway asphalt after a twenty year period. The selection of
a twenty year replacement period is extremely conservative, as the asphalt would probably
have a 25 -30 year life. it is my understanding the existing asphalt surface was constructed in the
1973 -1975 time - frame, or 36 to 38 years ago. The cost estimate is expressed in 2011 dollars.
I do not anticipate that assuming operational responsibility of Beaver Loop to require additional
staff. Our estimate provides for 370 personnel hours to accomplish maintenance tasks annually.
The total annual estimated cost for maintenance tasks is $59,430. The estimate to replace
asphalt is $820,000, or an annualized cost of $41,000 based on a twenty year life.
Unless the Council wishes to re -visit the issue of City assuming ownership and operational
responsibility of the Beaver Loop Roadway, Administration will continue to negotiate and work
with ADOT /PF to move the project forward.
Thank you for your attention in this matter.
