TO: City Council
FROM: Rick Koch
DATE: November 28, 2012
SUBJECT: 2012 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 $362,088.00 against
non -grant expenditures (current & projected) of $364,757.51, or revenues over
expenditures of ($2,669.51). If you include grant revenues and expenditures both of
these values would be increased by $111,073.03.
The 2012 season, based on non -grant revenues, exhibited the greatest activity to date,
exceeding the 2011 non -grant revenues ($320,634.00) by $41,454 or 19.70 %. This
increase in revenue was caused by both an increase in camping fees ($5.00) and a
greater number of participants.
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 was stated in previous year's reports, 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.
It is our intent to undertake an aggressive program to eliminate /minimize fish waste on
the north beach and solid waste (trash) on both the north and south beaches. Because
of the greater magnitude of the fish waste problem on the north beach and the logistical
challenge of providing fish cleaning tables, a collection, and disposal system, we want
to concentrate on the north beach in 2013 and apply the lessons learned to managing
the much lower volume of fish waste on the south beach beginning in 2014.
Following is a description of the general scope of the plan to address fish waste and
solid waste (trash) in 2013:
Fish Waste Management
The legislature in 2012 (SFY 2013) included an appropriation in the amount of $150,000
for Personal Use Fishery Improvements to the City of Kenai. This appropriation will be
used for the design and manufacture of three fish cleaning stations, consultant services
to assist the City in preparing a Request for Proposal (RFP) for disposal of fish waste,
and other related items.
The fish cleaning stations will be fabricated on a twenty -four foot long dual axle- trailer
with foundation jacks located at each corner. Each side of the fish cleaning station will
have fish - cleaning tables with sufficient room for eight people to clean fish. A 1,000 to
2,000 gallon tank will be located in the middle of the trailer with a pipe /hose water
distribution system to the fish - cleaning tables.
One fish cleaning station will be located in the vicinity of the end of Kenai Avenue, on
the beach side of the dunes. The second will be located on the beach side of the dunes
approximately mid -way between the end of Kenai Avenue and South Spruce Street.
The third fish - cleaning station will be located on the beach near the end of South
Spruce Street. The fish - cleaning stations will be supplied with water through 1 -1/2"
HDPE distribution piping connected to a hydrant.
City personnel will oversee the use and management of the fish - cleaning stations. One
employee will be dedicated to observing operations, re- filling water storage tanks,
cleaning the stations, and providing assistance to fishery participants.
Fish waste will be collected at the fish - cleaning stations by a contractor. The contractor
may dispose of the fish -waste in any legal manner. This may include, but not be limited
to:
1. Disposal in a permitted solid waste landfill.
2. Disposal by grinding and discharge to a receiving body of water utilizing an
existing or new Alaska Pollution Discharge Elimination System (APDES)
permit.
3. Disposal through composting or the manufacture of an added value product,
i.e. fertilizer.
4. Disposal by transporting to an approved and permitted offshore disposal area.
Solid Waste (Trash) Management
The City will contract for a third party to install and service twelve, six cubic yard
dumpsters located on the north beach and spaced approximately 100 -200 yards from
each other on the beach side of the dunes, as well as dumpsters in locations serviced in
the past. On the south beach four to six dumpsters will be evenly spaced along the
beach in camping areas.
The dumpsters will be serviced daily and more frequently if required during periods of
peak use.
The estimated cost for the above programs is $233,836.44. To provide the revenue
necessary to offset these increased costs Administration recommends increasing fees
as follows:

$20.00
Presently, parking fees are for a twelve hour period beginning when the fee is paid. In
2013 the parking fee will be for a twenty -four hour period beginning and ending at 5AM.
This coincides with normal fishery hours.
Camping fees will be for a twenty -four period beginning and ending at noon.
The proposed fee increases are estimated to increase revenues by $236,982.00.
Attached are worksheets providing detailed estimates of operations and maintenance
cost for both the fish management and solid -waste management programs. Also
included is a daily accounting of revenues during the 2012 fishery. The total is slightly
greater than what is included in this report as sales tax had not yet been accounted for
in the raw data.
Also attached is a draft Resolution which increases the fees as described in this
document.
In 2013 we plan to increase cash - management controls in place at the fee stations.
Finance is currently exploring the use of computer /cash registers to generate fee
receipts. This will provide an operational control not present at this time. Whether or not
permanent power must be installed, and the overall cost of the proposed system will be
the deciding factors in the decision to institute its use.
In summary, I am again 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 this Report.
If you have any questions, please contact me at your convenience.

DATE: 10/15/12
SUBJECT: Dipnet Report Summary
Enclosed is the City of Kenai's annual Dipnet Report for 2012, with reports from Police,
Parks, Public Works, Fire and Finance. For the 2012 dipnet fishery, the City had total
non - grant revenues of $362,088 and total non -grant expenditures of $364,757.51. A
strong sockeye return again brought a tremendous number of dipnet participants to the
mouth of the Kenai River.
Police dipnet calls for service increased from 121 in 2011 to 142 in 2012. TEOs wrote
106 dipnet - related citations, compared to 59 citations in 2011. The Department
experienced its heaviest work load from July 17 to July 22. During this period, Police
assisted City Dock crews with vehicle congestion more than any other year. Police also
observed high volumes of traffic on Cannery Rd. during this peak week.
Parks, Public Works, and Police all experienced an increase in dipnet expenditures over
the previous year. The Fire Department had a decrease in dipnet calls for service.
Other City Departments also experienced an increased work load during the dipnet
fishery. In July, the City Attorney's office processed a total of 216 KPD citations (106
dipnet - related). The Kenai Library had a significant increase in users during the dipnet
fishery. In July, the Library computers were booked up, and there was a 41 % increase in
circulation over July of 2011.
Two mobile vendors participated in the fishery. The vendors paid for available dipnet
parking spaces, as opposed to having a reserved vendor parking area. This did not appear
to be problematic for them.
Salmon Frenzy volunteers helped direct traffic on Kenai Ave. and at the City Dock.
Their efforts were highly appreciated.
The City and Borough signed a letter of agreement which granted the City temporary
jurisdiction on Dunes Rd. This agreement allowed the City Public Works to provide road
maintenance and install signage. It also allowed the City to collect reasonable fees for
11
dipnet access. The agreement further allowed KPD officers to take enforcement action on
people violating the City's posted rules (i.e. no camping, etc.).
Although the City improved the North Beach access for setnet vehicles, east side
setnetters were closed down for all but one fishing period during the 2012 dipnet fishery.
Thanks to the efforts of volunteer groups the Kenai beaches were clean and fi•ee of litter
by August I ".
Overall, the City departments very effectively managed the City's responsibilities to the

Dipnet Report 2012

(TEO), 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 2012 dipnet fishery.
The fishery opened on Tuesday, July 10 °i at 6:00 a.m. and closed on Tuesday, July 31 at
midnight. On July 20`h, the dipnet fishery was opened to 24 hours per day fishing for the
remainder of the season.
The Kenai Police Department employed four Temporary Enforcement Officers again this
summer. All TEOs returned from the 2011 season. The presence of four experienced TEOs
significantly contributed to smooth operations. They provided a continuous presence to answer
questions, give direction, monitor and enforce parking and traffic flow, and provide immediate
assistance for various issues. The TEOs spent a total of 538 hours working during the dipnet
fishery. Out of these, a total of 457.4 hours were specific to dipnet (time on the beaches, at Kenai
City Dock, or performing other dipnet- related duties).
The 2012 dipnet season was unique; instead of starting slowly and increasing in intensity, dipnet
activity started almost immediately. Within four days, the North Beach parking lot was at full
capacity, and overflow parking opened during the first weekend. Overflow parking remained
open, and at near full capacity, through the second weekend. During this time, South Beach was
equally populated. After the second weekend the amount of dipnetters began to decline, often
leaving the North Beach parking lot around 65% full. By the end of the season the North Beach
parking lot was only about %2 full.
In the spring of 2011, the Kenai Fire Department purchased a Polaris Ranger side -by -side which
was used primarily by TEOs during the 2012 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 again utilized on the South Beach. Having a Ranger on each beach
proved to be a valuable resource to officers and TEOs. The KPD Ranger was parked on private
property near the South Beach entrance. The KFD Ranger was parked at the Sewer Treatment
Plant. These locations allowed for efficient access to the fishery.
13
North Beach
North Beach required the majority of officer and TEO working hours. The problems most
encountered were parking violations (i.e. failure to pay or display permit). TEOs efficiently dealt
with violators by leaving warnings and checking back within one to two hours to see that the
situation was resolved. TEOs issued 106 citations this dipnet season. The majority of these
citations were the result of paid parking violations, however more than 15 percent of the issued
citations resulted from violations of vehicles operating in prohibited areas.
As with every year, TEOs 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. This issue has been
compounded by the dumpsters and permanent restrooms that are located at the end of Kenai Ave.
On the weekends this area was primarily controlled by Salmon Frenzy volunteers, freeing
officers and TEOs for other calls. Officers and volunteers worked hard to keep traffic moving as
efficiently as possible. Heavy traffic in the evenings required near constant management by
officers and TEOs during week days.
The little league ball fields served as overflow parking for the 2012 dipnet season. The current
signage and use of a Parks and Recreation employee on South Spruce was sufficient to control
the overflow parking lot. When this area became saturated, dipnetters parked on North Spruce. In
addition to these parking areas, Kenai Parks and Recreation opened another overflow parking
area on Coral Street. This area was utilized by a few RVs, but the distance from the dipnet
fishery deterred most dipnetters.
Parks and Recreation again hired two employees to check parking permits and camping permits
on North and South Beach. These employees worked every day of dipnet, greatly reducing
permit violations. It is recommended the Parks and Recreation department maintain these
positions.
The North Beach had two mobile vendors, who sold bags of ice, food, and beverages during the
dipnet season. The two vendors stayed the majority of the dipnet season. These vendors were
required to pay for parking, and were not given a special "vendor only" parking area.
Several changes were made at North Beach for the 2012 dipnet season. Jersey barriers were
placed along the beach entry /exit in an effort to keep the path clear for set net vehicles. These
14
barriers also helped reduce traffic to the left of the access road, a prohibited area. Despite these
improvements, TEOs issued 20 citations to vehicles who failed to comply with signs and
barriers. This area is marked with a total of six signs and adding more signs may or may not
reduce traffic to the North of the access road. Jersey barriers were also used to mark no parking
areas in the North Beach and Dunes road parking lots.
Kenai City Dock
The Kenai public boat launch area required above
average police attention during the 2012 season.
During the first week officers and TEOs were called
several times to deal with parking issues. These issues
were compounded by above average turnout. The most
significant parking problem was caused by triple
parking. Following the first week, public dock
personnel enforced strict parking protocol where each
vehicle was directed to a parking space. During busy
days vehicles filled the main parking lot, overflow
parking, and parked along the exit road.
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 these four -hour
shut down times traffic started to back up onto the highway. During each instance officers
responded to the area to move vehicles off the roadway, and then remained on scene to waive
vehicles off. On one of these peak days, Police personnel were told that all boat launch parking
lots in the City limits were at full capacity.
To help improve traffic flow, the City Dock hired supplementary employees to help direct traffic.
City dock personnel also created a two lane traffic pattern near the boat launch. The new traffic
pattern created a lane for loading boats and a lane for launching. This system alleviated some of
the congestion that historically builds up on Boat Launch road.
The Alaska Wildlife Troopers (AWT) had a sustained presence at the City Dock, taking
enforcement action on dipnet violators. Their presence and efforts were very appreciated by the
Kenai Police Department.
South Beach
In prior dipnet seasons, residents along Dunes Rd. have been subjected to unreasonable noise
(i.e. motorhome generators) and other nuisances that the City of Kenai did not have jurisdiction
over. Due to the continuous presence of City personnel in the area of Dunes Rd., the City
Manager proposed a Letter of Agreement between the City and Borough that would allow City
personnel to help alleviate some of the problems experienced by residents along Dunes Rd.
As a result, the City was granted temporary authority to: install signs, barriers, fencing; perform
maintenance improvements; install temporary restrooms; collect fees from dipnet participants;
and issue citations for activities that violate the City's posted rules and ordinances in the area.
City personnel posted the Dunes Rd. parking lot as a No Camping Area, which was heavily
is
enforced by TEOs. During the peak week, one TEO was assigned to patrol /monitor this area
until tam to enforce no camping laws along Dunes Rd., and to ask any dipnetters in the area to
keep the noise down. In a debrief with the resident most significantly impacted in this area, the
resident expressed being pleased with the City's response, and only had one minor
recommendation to further help with next year. It is recommended that the City continue to
enter into this agreement with the Borough to help these residents.
The Law Enforcement presence on South Beach was less than on North Beach. Common issues
addressed by Officers and TEOs were camping violations, lost children, stuck vehicles, and
parking permit violations.
During the 2011 dipnet season there were many issues with the access road to Inlet Fish cannery.
In response to these complaints the Kenai Streets department placed several no parking signs
along both sides of the road. These signs were very effective in preventing road blockage during
the 2012 dipnet season.
Miscellaneous
During the 2012 season there were several instances that required response from KFD. During
these instances, TEOs 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 TEOs collected a
large amount of lost, mislaid and abandoned
property. TEOs were successful at returning most
of the items.
There were a high number of vehicles stuck on the
North and South Beaches during the 2012 dipnet
fishery. On several occasions these vehicles were
saved from the tide due to quick action by officers
and TEOs.
Dipnet Fishery Statistics
This year, the Kenai Police Department responded to 142 dipnet fishery related calls for service.
There were more parking violations this year, which resulted in a greater number of warnings
and citations being issued.

Conclusion
Overall, the 2012 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 TEOs 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: August 20, 2012
SUBJECT: 2012 Dip Net Report
The personal use fishery opened at 6:00 a.m. on July 10th and closed at 11:59 p.m., Tuesday,
July 31St. Preparation for another busy season began well in advance of the opener, including
upgrades to the shacks, installation of fencing and signage, securing contractors (portable
restrooms and dumpster services), and training. The Parks & Recreation department assisted
with many other activities that were planned and coordinated through other departments such
as Public Works, Finance and the Police Department.
This year's season was similar to last year in terms of numbers of fish although user
participation was clearly higher. This was probably once again attributed to a well advertised
healthy run of fish and various closures affecting rivers north of the peninsula. Camping fees
increased from $15 to $20 per 12 -hour period this season. Several folks I spoke to during the
fishery indicated that although they've participated in other personal use fisheries elsewhere,
this was their first trip to the Kenai River and plan to return since at least basic amenities and
services are provided, unlike other areas. The price increase (camping), congestion and limited
beach space didn't appear to be much of a deterrent; easy access, facilities and basic services,
order, and emergency /police services appeared to be a very positive attractant and one that
participants have grown accustom to expect.
A total of 2,980 hours were dedicated to the 2012 dip net season from the Parks & Recreation
Department. A bulk of these hours (1,744.25) were spent managing the fee shacks; 552 hours
were spent patrolling the north and south beach areas; 91 hours were spent on managing
overflow parking and assisting with vehicular traffic, including both at the Little League Complex
(Spruce Street), dock and the Adult Softball parking lot. The use of the Adult Softball parking lot
(July 20 through July 22) was necessitated due to the Little League parking lot becoming full.
19
A total of 55.25 hours were spent raking fish waste that had accumulated on the north beach at
various times throughout the fishery. This process became much more difficult due to constant
congestion on the beach once the fishery hours were expanded by emergency order on July
20th. A significant amount of time (76 hours) was spent cleaning the north and south beach
areas on August 15`. Additionally, the KCHS Cross - Country Ski Team assisted as did a group from
the Wildwood Correction Center.
SPECIFIC OBSERVATIONS & CONCERNS
NORTH BEACH
• Additional fencing (post /chain) needs to be installed down along the eastern end of the
dunes. Foot traffic in these areas the past few seasons has been managed through the
use of temporary fencing. There is approximately 1,100 lineal feet that needs
completed.
• Concern has been raised about the volunteers from the Baptist Church passing out
rubber balloons while on the beach. Balloon fragments left behind can sometimes be
ingested by birds.
• Approach ramps should be added at either end of the walkways leading over the dunes
and ramp treads added.
• Additional "No Trespass on Dunes" signs should be installed along dune areas.
• Occasional calls are taken seasonally with respect to State of Alaska (Division of Parks &
Outdoor Recreation) Disabled Veteran's Annual Camping passes. These have not been
honored in the past but some consideration could be given to accepting these in the
future.
SOUTH BEACH
• Signage protecting sensitive wetland areas should be added, particularly where fencing
(post /chain) is not erected. This area stretches approximately .25 miles from Old
Cannery Rd. leading north toward the mouth of the Kenai River.
• One complaint was received by the department concerning increased vehicular traffic
along Cannery Rd. Same resident also complained about trespass issues concerning
private property. This seemed to be more of an issue during the second weekend when
participants of the fishery were lined up (parking & camping) the entire stretch of the
beach from Old Cannery Road to the mouth. Perhaps some "Respect Private Property"
signs could be added to the fee shacks to elevate awareness.

Kenai Fire Department Dip Net Report 2012
Prepared by: Battalion Chief Tony Prior
This report summarizes the activities of KFD associated with the Dip Net Fishery for 2012. In terms of
responses, we saw a decrease in calls associated with the fishery compared to 2011 even though there
appeared to be more people participating in the fishery this year. We did receive word from city dock
personnel and other agencies that the emergency events were not down in numbers, it just happened
to he that there were more self rescues and participants helping one another that resulted in our lower
number of calls for service this year. Approximately $18,702.41 was spent on dip net fishery this year.
Training:
We begin preparing for the dip net fishery in June of every year prior to the influx of people who
participate in the personal use fisheries. Training focused on preparing for both river rescue and beach
orientation in the event of a medical call on either North or South Beach. A total of 60 man hours were
spent on training and preparing for the season. Each shift spent time preparing and orienting
themselves with both Rangers. Backboards and straps were placed on both Rangers in the event of a
medical emergency, and spare keys were secured for quick access during non patrolled hours by TEO's.
Due to the increased boat traffic during the fisheries, more time was spent training on water rescues
from the boat and tactics to use for rescue of victims in the water from overturned vessels. As we
progress in our training I would like to prepare our personnel by having a swift water rescue class to
better prepare us to go to the victim instead of having to maneuver close enough to them with the
rescue boat to affect a successful rescue.
galsforSen ce:
5 Medical calls with 4 of those requiring transport
1 good intent call at the mouth of the river
1 Dumpster fire on boat launch road
1 CO detector alarm in motor home
1 Possible Gas leak in Marathon's line
6 recalls associated from above calls
27
Equipment:
We again sent our rescue boat to Alaska Raft and Kayak to repair the air leaks and repair the old leaking
pressure valves. After repairing the identified leaks, we began having leaks in other places. It appears
that due to the age of the boat and the materials used in its construction, we are chasing leaks and
creating new one by fixingthe identified ones. We will be looking at $7,000.00 to $9,000.00 to replace
the tubing above the rigid hull.
Non purchased items listed as improvements over the past couple of years include:
Siide -in units for the rangers to secure patients on a back board during transport off the beach
Binoculars for the boat
Hand held search light
Rescue knives
Anchor Chain and Rope
Four stroke motor for the Rescue boat
Other items identified that would make our operations more efficient for future emergency response
include: Adding a mobile radio on the boat that would allow our personnel to only wear personal
flotation devices and minimize the chance of losing a portable radio out of a pocket while performing
rescue. A boat capable of firefighting capabilities on the water would add to our response capabilities
should we have an incident involving fire on one of the boats in the river or out into the inlet within our
response area.
Communications.
Most of our responses during the fisheries have required communications with KPD, State Parks, and
our TEO's patrolling the beach. Since KPD has changed over to ALMR it has been very difficult for our
personnel to communicate and hear what is needed or how the emergency is evolving from our officers
who are the first on scene the majority of the time. This also puts an additional burden on our
dispatchers who are monitoring 2 agencies who are talking over one another because of the inability to
scan each other and hear who might be talking on the radio already. We have begun the process of
securing ourALMR frequencies and we will be reprogramming our radio's to alleviate this problem
within the near future.
r;onc6rsionr
Overall the improvements the city has made to traffic patterns, both at the dock and beaches, has
improved our response times and cleared some congestion we have faced in the past while responding
to emergencies. KPD and TEO's have been vital to our responses and continue to improve our response
times and capabilities.

2012 Finance Department
Di net Summary
Total revenue increased in 2012 with the increase in daily camping fees on the City's North and South
Beaches and elevated participant numbers at the City Dock. Revenue at the City Dock increased
$8,637,10.42% in 2012.
Conclusion:
Revenue collection continued the 2011 trend of a more even distribution over the three week fishery. In
prior 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 sixteen day period
and were not isolated to weekends. Increased enforcement of parking limits and camping was continued
this year and undoubtedly contributed to the increase in revenue. A new cash register system is being
investigated in an attempt to increase the efficiency at fee shacks and strengthen the internal controls
over cash collection.
Overall the 2012 dipnet season was a success from the Finance Department's perspective. The safety of
our employees continues to be our strongest focus.
