As a member of the Kenai Soil and Water Conservation Board, and as a long- time resident of the Kenai area, the damage and mess at the mouth of the Kenai during dipnet season has been very heavy on my heart for many years. I want all of the children of Kenai to be able to enjoy the River and all it's blessings and benefits as I did as a youngster. In that regard, I have been seeking solutions that are not only affordable, but dual propose in that the resources taken from the river end up being used to greatest potential, not just as a vital food source for so many. You may have already considered the solutions set forth below or have even better ones. I always have art ear out for what has worked elsewhere, and wanted to share some of these ideas. Please refer to this site for an example of the study and practice implementation done by Cooperative Extension, New York, and Cornell University. Jdan 11111S ;;l.LIso.uri.edufi n cxtc18990I,pdf It is about a I0 -month process, so our severe cold may be a deterrent. I'll keep looking, though. It still seems that composting is the best way to deal with it. Crrindioe the remains, shnilar to the canneries, makes disbursal back into the river less oi'a wash -up problem on the beach; but in this study, it was found that the unground remnants were more readily useable by other desirable species: htt�n: / /www.pwssc.or research ecolo�i�cal /seafood waste /SeafoodYo20Waste df. Therefore, another idea would be just 10 collect the whole carcasses and heads and tow them out to sea away from (lie shore to dump them in deep water for better disbursal and use by crab, etc. Ilowever, here are the DLC; regulations about fish waste disposal in a nutshell: ham: / /dec.alaska. og v /eh /does /sw /Dish Waste Disnoeal.pdf if the whole carcass tow -away is utilized, it comes within the purview of DEC within 3 nautical riles. After that, it is within Cederal territory. I have not yet called the numbers listed to find out their requirements. If the composting idea is unpopular, and grinding of the dipnet waste similar to the canneries is not a good solution due to the unnatural amounts of residue creating new environmental problems, another solution on a much larger scale that might include resurrecting some of the North Kenai processing plants could be the thermal de-polymerization process (TDP), as discussed here: hitp seaerant uaf.edulnoa /apers /20I Llcodiak- turbidites.plip. I really love ihr5 idea to create bio -fuel. That obviously would be more expensive, but in my opinion would be the altiunte reeychng, problem- soivin feather in Kent's legacy hat.. Please let me know how the work session pro8resscs. I would appreciate any feedback or plan of action emails. Also, rf the City Clcrl, could forssauf this to y1r. Koch, I would appreciate it. For some reason his email is not included on the vlayor /Council website. I hanks; so munch and kudos to each of Yell for tackling this problem!

These projects include the construction of a new water storage reservoir, and the construction of a new maintenance shop to house and repair city equipment. I wasn't sure if these projects are still in the planning stages or if you've selected architects at this time to begin working on plans? Is there any sort of timeline for when you hope to start construction, or put either project out to bid? Thanks for your help!

I have also received notification that Jim Butler will be unable to attend due to illness in his family. Mr. Butler, will most likely, also have comments at a later date. My comment: I would like to express my appreciation to City Administration /Staff for their excellent work in making the Dip Net Fishery a success in assuring the privacy and rights of property owners adjacent to the fishery. One concern that I have had in the past is that a speed limit has not been established for that area of the beach that lies in front of the residences on Tryon Way. I have called in complaints when off -road vehicles are speeding /racing and giving very little concern for safety for those walking, playing or picnicing on the beach. When I have called in my concerns, I have been told there is a speed limit of 10 miles per hour and the riders are not to be in close proximity of the pedestrians .... I have also been asked "what my definition of close proximity might be ? ? ? ?? I think that should be established and advertised at the entrance to the beach by the City. Thank you.

Koch City Manager City of Kenai 210 Fidalgo Ave. Kenai, AK 99611 (907)283 -8222 (907)398 -0190 From: Adrienne Hallett [mailto:akhalleitCayahoo.cam] Sent: Monday, January 07, 2013 11:48 AM To: Mayor; Rick Koch; roada rough.kenai.ak.us; Scott Bloom; Christine Cunningham; Bob Frates; Mayor Porter Subject: Dip Net Fisheries January 7, 2013 I noticed there's a meeting on the dip netting and would like to mention a few things we had discussed in the prior dip net seasons. For reference my address is 37675 Sailor's Watch circle Kenai, I own the house next to the parking lot at the end of Dunes rd off Cannery rd. Last year was a significant improvement with the city enforcing the "no camping' in the parking lot. But there were still a few problems that I had to address. In prior seasons we discussed using the parking lot for fish cleaning stations. The cleaning stations would help lower the cost of cleanup and make it where the lot wasn't being filled with motor homes. I would also like to mention last year the city was allowed jurisdiction of the parking lot. This jurisdiction issue will need to be addressed again. Rick Hallett u plam"93 TO: City council FROM: Rick Koch, City Manager DATE: January 7, 2093 The purpose of this correspondence is to discuss changes /modifications to the management of the 2013 Personal Use Fishery (Fishery), specifically management of waste which has been historically deposited on the north and south beach. The first component of the discussion, and arguably the most important, is to ensure that there is a clear understanding of the problem to be solved. Through gathering data for this document I was left with the impression that many individuals which have commented on the volume of waste material on the beach, may desire a solution to a different problem. So what do I mean by that? We have heard many times during discussions on this topic that "the amount of waste on the beaches (especially the north beach) effectively prohibits citizens of Kenai from enjoying the beach at the mouth of the Kenai River during the Fishery." While this may in part be true, as a practical matter even if there was absolutely no fish waste, or other solid waste, present on the beaches, the normal use of the beaches by citizens of Kenai would be effectively prohibited by the 10,000- 15,000 people that are present during the Fishery. Therefore, if the desired outcome of a more intense management approach to waste management is to provide similar conditions on the beach during the three weeks of the Fishery as the other forty -nine weeks of the year, the desired outcome is unreasonable and unachievable due to the unresolved issue created by the sheer number of people on the beaches. Recognizing that the removal of fish waste and other solid waste from the beach during the Fishery will not return the beaches to a condition similar to other times of the year, the following is a summary of the problem to be solved: "During the three weeks of the Personal Use Fishery, the amount of fish waste and other solid waste deposited on the north and south beaches at the mouth of the Kenai River is unacceptable." If we agree on the problem, the suggested solution is: "To eliminate or reduce the amount of fish waste and other solid waste on the north and south beaches at the mouth of the Kenai River to an acceptable level." None of the following alternatives specifically address enterococci and or coliform bacteria levels which exceed EPA water quality standards during the Fishery. This is for several reasons, the City of Kenai does not have the expertise and /or authority to enforce ADEC /EPA regulations, and even though there are violations of water quality standards they are not of sufficient significance for ADEC to take action. The following is a brief description of six alternatives which have been considered by the Administration. After each alternative is described there will be a detailed discussion providing analysis which includes a description of the scope, pros and cons, cost estimates, and any other supporting information. Alternative One Do nothing. Manage the waste generated by the Fishery participants in a manner consistent with management in 2012. Alternative Two Provide an increased level of effort to move fish waste to tideline during low tides and increase efforts to collect other solid waste in collection receptacles. Alternative Three Allow "Gut & Gill" cleaning of fish on beaches and in the waters of the Kenai River, provide an increased level of effort to move fish waste to tideline during low tides and increase efforts to collect other solid waste in collection receptacles. Provide an increased level of enforcement to ensure only "Gut & Gill" waste disposal on the beaches and in the waters of the Kenai River, Alternative Four Prohibit disposal of any fish waste on beaches or in the waters of the Kenai River by requiring Fishery participants to remove whole fish, and /or fish and fish waste from the beaches and the waters of the Kenai River. Provide an increased effort to collect other solid waste in receptacles. Provide an increased level of enforcement to ensure no waste disposal on beaches or in the waters of the Kenai River, Alternative Five Provide multiple containers on north and south beaches, and the Kenai Municipal Boat Launch, for disposal of fish waste. City is responsible for transfer and ultimate disposal of fish waste. Prohibit disposal of any fish waste on beaches or in the waters of the Kenai River. Provide an increased effort to collect other solid waste in receptacles. Provide an increased level of enforcement to ensure no waste disposal on beaches or in the waters of the Kenai River. Alternative Six Provide multiple fish cleaning stations at the north beach (3), south beach (2), and the Kenai Municipal Boat Launch(1). Provide fish waste containers at all fish cleaning stations. City is responsible for transfer and ultimate disposal of fish waste. Prohibit disposal of any fish waste on beaches or in the waters of the Kenai River. Provide an increased effort to collect other solid waste in receptacles. Provide an increased level of enforcement to ensure no waste disposal on beaches or in the waters of the Kenai River. Do nothing. Manage the waste generated by the Fishery participants in a manner consistent with 2012. DETAILED DESCRIPTION Solid Waste Other than Fish Waste - In 2012 the City provided waste receptacles (dumpsters) at three locations at the north beach, one central location on the south beach, and at several locations at the Municipal Boat Launch (Launch). The locations on the north beach were at the end of Kenai Avenue, at the vaulted toilet at the end of Spruce Street, and in the City Parking lot at the end of Spruce Street. On the south beach the dumpsters were located in a location adjacent to portable toilets generally centered in the highest activity area. Dumpsters were located at several locations in the parking area and near the boat Iaunch.There were also dumpsters placed at the Little League Fields when the parking area was utilized as overflow parking. With the exception of the north beach, the City has not received a significant number of complaints regarding non -fish solid waste. Observations by City personnel support this observation. Fish Waste — In 2012 the City continued to manage fish waste on the north beach by once a day use of a small tractor with a landscape rake to move fish waste to the tideline during low tide. This usually happened at the low tide during, or closest to, the 11PM to 5AM time period when the Fishery was normally closed to facilitate lack of conflict with Fishery participants. There has been no effort to rake and /or move fish waste on the south beach. As with non -fish solid waste, the area of concern is primarily the north beach. While there is some amount of fish waste that remains on the south beach it appears that the tides and river currents tend to deposit fish waste on the north beach. in addition, it appears that a greater number of fish are harvested on the north beach than the south beach. None Pros 1. No additional costs 2. Does not require additional personnel 3. Does not create enforcement processes, citations, court, etc. Cons 1. Does not provide solutions to fish waste and non -fish waste issues on north beach 2. Some Kenai /Peninsula residents may believe that not enough is being accomplished to address problem l ri 4 GENERAL DESCRIPTION Provide an increased level of effort to move fish waste to tideline during low tides and increase efforts to collect other solid waste in collection receptacles. DETAILED DESCRIPTION Solid Waste Other than Fish Waste — Launch, no change from effort in 2012. South beach, provide two additional locations for dumpsters. North beach, in addition to locations presently served, locate four to six additional dumpsters on the river side of the dunes between the east end of Kenai Avenue to the west end of the wastewater treatment plant. Fish Waste — Launch, no change from effort in 2012. South beach, use existing small tractor and landscape rake to move fish waste to tideline during low tide during, or closest to, 11PM to SAM period when Fishery is normally closed. This may or may not require a person on a four - wheeler or similar equipment to act as guide for the tractor and rake. North beach, expand area of operations from the where No -Name Creek near the east end of Kenai Avenue to approximately X mile west of the wastewater treatment plant, and purchase new larger tractor and larger lawn rake (using FY13 State Grant, $150K) to move fish waste to tideline during both low tides each day. This will require purchase of a four - wheeler or similar equipment to guide tractor /rake during at least one of the two low tides and possibly both. ESTIMATED ADDITIONAL COSTS The estimated capital costs for purchase of a larger tractor /rake, signage, and four - wheelers or similar equipment is $99,000 and estimated additional operating costs are $73,350 PROS & CONS Pros 1. Lower operational cost than all alternatives other than Alternative One 2. Is a staged approach 3. Will result in the lowest increase in user fees 4. Expands current operations (in which we have experience) rather than creating new systems 5. Does not require State permitting to manage regulated waste streams 5. High probability of success in meeting goal Cons 1. Continues to place large volumes of fish waste in Kenai River. 2. Some Kenai /Peninsula residents may believe that not enough is being accomplished to address problem 3. Increase in operational costs 4. Increase in user fees GENERAL DESCRIPTION Allow "gut & gill" cleaning of fish on beaches and in the waters of Kenai River, provide an increased level of effort to move fish waste to tideline during low tides and increase efforts to collect other solid waste in collection receptacles. Provide an increased level of enforcement to ensure only "gut & gill" waste disposal on beaches and in the waters of the Kenai River. DETAILED DESCRIPTION Solid Waste Other than Fish Waste —Boat launch, no change from effort in 2012. South beach, provide two additional locations for dumpsters. North beach, in addition to locations presently served, an additional four to six additional dumpsters will be sited on the river side of the dunes between the east end of Kenai Avenue to the west end of the wastewater treatment plant. Fish Waste — Amend KMC 12.20 to allow disposal of "guts & gills" on specific lands and waters within the boundaries of the City. Provide increased enforcement efforts to ensure that only "guts & gills' are left on the north and south beach and that the remainder of all fish (in whole or part) are removed from City property by Fishery participants. Compliance could result in an up to 60% decrease in fish waste volume. South beach, use existing small tractor and landscape rake to move fish waste to tideline during low tide during, or closest to, 11PM to SAM period when Fishery is normally closed. This may or j may not require a person on a four - wheeler or similar equipment to act as guide for the tractor and rake. North beach, expand area of operations from where No -Name Creek near the east end of Kenai Avenue to approximately % mile west of the wastewater treatment plant, and purchase new larger tractor and larger lawn rake (using FY13 State Grant, $150K) to move fish waste to tideline during both low tides each day. This will require purchase of a four - wheeler or similar equipment to guide tractor /rake during at least one of the two low tides and possibly both. ESTIMATED ADDITIONAL COSTS The estimated capital costs for purchase of a larger tractor /rake and four - wheelers or similar equipment is $99,000 and estimated additional operating costs are $138,150. PROS & CONS Pros 1. Attempts to remove majority of fish waste from beach areas 2. Majority of fish waste may become "someone else's problem" 3. Not the most expensive alternative a •, PROS & CONS (cunt.) Cons 1. While not the most expensive alternative, it is still very costly Z. Creates additional conflicts with Fishery participants 3. Majority offish waste may become "someone else's problem ", such as Kenai Peninsula Borough at transfer stations and along Borough roadways, State of Alaska DNR, DOT /PF 4. May result in a large number of Fishery participants violating City ordinances, Borough ordinances, and /or State of Alaska laws /regulations 5. Fishery participants camping for an extended period of time on the beach will not have a viable alternative for disposal of fish waste 6. Dumpsters placed on beaches for non -fish waste may become filled with fish waste. 7. This alternative will not be able to be enforced on the Kenai River unless the City begins enforcement activities from watercraft (not included in attached estimate) & In spite of our best efforts this alternative may not be very successful 9. Requires police officers to be dedicated to Fishery enforcement GENERAL DESCRIPTION Prohibit disposal of any fish waste on beaches or in the waters of the Kenai River by requiring Fishery participants to remove whole fish, and /or fish and fish waste from the beaches and the water of the Kenai River. Provide an increased effort to collect other solid waste in receptacles. Provide an increased level of enforcement to ensure no waste disposal on the beaches or in the waters of the Kenai River. DETAILED DESCRIPTION Solid Waste Other than Fish Waste — Boat launch, no change from effort in 2012. South beach, provide two additional locations for dumpsters. North beach, an additional four to six additional dumpsters will be sited on the river side of the dunes between the east end of Kenai Avenue to the west end of the wastewater treatment plant. Fish Waste — Prohibit disposal of fish waste of any kind from the Fishery on north and south beaches and in the waters of the Kenai River within 3.5 miles of the mouth of the River. This will require a significant increase in enforcement activities, up to six additional seasonal enforcement officers. The past effort of using a tractor to move fish waste to the tideline at low tide will no longer be required. ESTIMATED ADDITIONAL COSTS The estimated capital costs for four - wheelers and signage is $61,000. The estimated operating costs for this alternative is $202,550. This is offset by a reduction in operating costs of $12,000 by eliminating the present practice of raking fish waste to the tideline on the north beach. PR0S & C0NS Pros 1. If there is a high degree of compliance, significant levels of fish waste would be eliminated on the north and south beaches and in the Kenai River 2. A segment of the public will appreciate this hard -line approach 3. Because this alternative would probably cause many other problems, such as illegal dumping of fish waste within the Kenai, Soldotna, and Municipality of Anchorage corporate boundaries, at Kenai Peninsula Borough Solid Waste transfer stations, along the Kenai Spur, Sterling and Seward Highways, and in private business waste receptacles, it may be easier to justify a request for assistance from the State of Alaska in the future Cons 1. High operational costs, which would result in more than doubling present fees if revenues are to cover expenses 2. The Anchorage and /or other media may not portray this action in a favorable manner M a '• 1 Cons 3. Representatives with the Kenai Peninsula Borough Solid Waste Department, Alaska Departments of Environmental Conservation, Fish & Game, and Natural Resources have already expressed their opposition to this alternative 4. Fishery participants camping for multiple days on the beaches will have no viable alternatives to dispose of fish waste 5. Fish waste will be deposited in the non -fish waste dumpsters located on the beaches 6. Enforcement on the Kenai River is not possible unless the City begins enforcement activities from watercraft (not included in estimate) 7. In spite of our best efforts this alternative may not be very successful 8. Creates the most conflicts with Fishery participants, which may result in less utilization of local City of Kenai businesses 9. Requires police officers to be dedicated to Fishery enforcement GENERAL DESCRIPTION Provide multiple containers on north and south beaches, and the Kenai Municipal Boat Launch, for disposal of fish waste. City is responsible for transfer and ultimate disposal of fish waste. Prohibit disposal of any fish waste on beaches or in the waters of the Kenai River. Provide an increased effort to collect other solid waste in receptacles. Provide an increased level of enforcement to ensure no waste disposal on beaches or in the waters of the Kenai River. DETAILED DESCRIPTION Solid Waste Other than Fish Waste — Launch, no change from effort in 2012. South beach, provide two additional locations for dumpsters. North beach, an additional four to six additional dumpsters will be sited on the river side of the dunes between the east end of Kenai Avenue to the west end of the wastewater treatment plant. Fish Waste — Prohibit disposal of fish waste of any kind from the Fishery on north and south beaches and in the waters of the Kenai River within 3.5 miles of the mouth of the River. City will provide multiple fish waste containers /receptacles for Fishery participants. As many as ten locations on the north beach, six locations on the south beach, and four locations at the Boat Launch. The City will contract out for the transfer of fish waste from the receptacle locations and ultimate disposal of the fish waste. Additional enforcement will be required. ESTIMATED ADDITIONAL COSTS The estimated capital costs for four - wheelers, signage, and fish waste containers is $124,000. The estimated operating costs for this alternative is $360,150. This is offset by a reduction in operating costs of $12,000 by eliminating the present practice of raking fish waste to the tideline on the north beach. PROS & CONS Pros 1. Fishery participants are more likely to comply since fish waste can be disposed of on the beaches and at the Boat Launch Cons 1. High cost 2. State agencies were unsure if disposal of fish waste could be accomplished without an APDES permit or at the Kenai Peninsula Landfill 3. Kenai Peninsula Landfill is only permitted for 3,500 Ibs of fish waste per month. Estimate is 400,000 to 600,000 Ibs of fish waste in July 4. Kenai Peninsula Landfill does not want these volumes of fish waste in existing cell(s). A new cell would need to be constructed at an estimated capital cost of $1 million 5. Would require police officers to be dedicated to Fishery enforcement. 6 City assumes responsibility for regulated waste stream W GENERAL DESCRIPTION Provide multiple fish cleaning stations at the north beach (3), South beach (2), and the Kenai Municipal Boat Launch(1). Provide fish waste containers at all fish cleaning stations. City is responsible for transfer and ultimate disposal of fish waste. Prohibit disposal of any fish waste on beaches or in the waters of the Kenai River. Provide an increased effort to collect other solid waste in receptacles. Provide an increased level of enforcement to ensure no waste disposal on beach or in the water of the Kenai River. DETAILED DESCRIPTION Solid Waste Other than Fish Waste — Boat launch, no change from effort in 2012. South beach, provide two additional locations for dumpsters. North beach, an additional four to six additional dumpsters will be sited on the riverside of the dunes between the east end of Kenai Avenue to the west end of the wastewater treatment plant. Fish Waste — Prohibit disposal of fish waste of any kind from the Fishery on north and south beaches and in the waters of the Kenai River within 3.5 miles of the mouth of the River. City will provide multiple fish cleaning stations with waste containers /receptacles for Fishery participants. There will be three locations on the north beach, two locations on the south beach, and one location at the Boat Launch. The City will contract out for the transfer of fish waste from the receptacle locations and ultimate disposal of the fish waste. Additional enforcement will be required. ESTIMATED ADDITIONAL COSTS The estimated capital costs for four - wheelers, signage, fish cleaning stations, and fish waste containers is $334,000. The estimated operating costs for this alternative is $395,250. This is offset by a reduction in operating costs of $12,000 by eliminating the present practice of raking fish waste to the tideline on the north beach. PROS & CONS Pros 1. If successful, provides control of fish waste and disposal. Cons 1. State Regulatory Agency, ADEC informed City that water used at fish cleaning stations would be classified as a regulated waste stream. It would be required to capture water used at fish cleaning stations and transport to City's wastewater treatment plant for treatment. This would add an estimated additional $100,000 to $200,000 to the operating costs. Additionally, permitting would probably take a year or more. 2. Most expensive alternative. 3. State Agencies were unsure if disposal of fish waste could be accomplished without an APDES permit or at the Kenai Peninsula Landfill. ALTERNATIVE SIX (cont.) PROS & CONS (cunt.) Cons 4. Kenai Peninsula Landfill is only permitted for 3,500 Ibs of fish waste per month. Estimate is 400,000 to 600,000 Ibs of fish waste in July 5. Kenai Peninsula Landfill does not want these volumes of fish waste in existing cell(s). A new cell would need to be constructed at an estimated capital cost of $1 million 6. Would require police officers to be dedicated to Fishery enforcement 7. City assumes responsibility for two regulated waste streams •l. ! Alternative Two is the Administration's selected alternative. The majority of the fish waste and other solid waste problem occurs during the middle ten days or so of the Fishery. The beaches are in normal condition on July 9th, and there is generally not a significant degree of waste generated during the first week of the fishery, and activity generally tapers off during the last week of the fishery. Given our present level of effort the beaches are returned to normal condition during the first several days of August. By taking the step to simply expand our efforts, within an existing program we understand and are familiar with, is a logical next step. Additional costs associated with Alternative Two are manageable. Reasonable fee increases can provide the revenues required to offset the additional expenses.

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 pipelhose 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: Fee Description Existing Fee (2012) Proposed Fee 2013 North Beach Parking $15.00 $30.00 North Beach Camping $20.00 $30.00 South Beach Parking $15.00 $30.00 South Beach Camping $20.00 $30.00 Dock Launch & Park $20.00 $30.00 Dock Park $10.00 $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 SAM. 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. 4 u, Analysis of 2012 Personal Use Fishery & Calculation of Estimated Transactions for 2013 North Beach Revenues South Beach Revenues Dock /Launch Revenues North Beach Total Revenue Estimated Revenues from Parking (85 %) Estimated Number of Transactions for Parking @ $15 /Transaction Estimated Revenues from Camping (15 %) Estimated Number of Transactions for Camping @ $20 /Transaction $ 148,481.00 $ 126,208.85 8414 $ 22,272.15 1114 South Beach Total Revenue Estimated Revenues from Parking (80 %) Estimated Number of Transactions for Parking @ $15 /Transaction Estimated Revenues from Camping (20 %) Estimated Number of Transactions for Camping @ $20 /Transaction $ 127,265.O0 $ 101,812.00 6787 $ 25,453.00 1273 Dock /Boat Launch Total Revenue Estimated Revenues from Parking & Launch (80 %) Estimated Number of Transactions for Parking & Launch @ $20 /Transaction Estimated Revenues from Parking (20 %) Estimated dumber of Transactions for Parking @ $10 /Transaction $ 86,342.00 $ 69,073.60 3454 $ 17,268.40 1727 Totals $ 297,094.45 18655 $ 64,993.55 4113 Total Revenues $ 362,088.00 Total Transactions 22768 Total Estimated Transactions for 2013 ( -10 %) 20491 Prepared by: R.

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 free of litter by August 15L Overall, the City departments very effectively managed the City's responsibilities to the dipnet fishery. The remainder of the report provides greater detail of the City's 2012 dipnet operations (specific to each department). 12 �mim y'e i V r �rrcT :.a t WXMLA4��& AS i i rte_ W 61-4006 ON _3r - U. m "im ti I N I I DIPNET ACTIVITY 2011 Dipnet Fishery 2012 Dipnet Fishery 121 Calls for Service 142 Calls for Service 59 Citations 106 TEO Citations I Impound 1 Impound 208 Cash Pickups 169 Cash Pickups 299.7 Officer Hours Dedicated to Dipnet 313.6 Officer Hours Dedicated to Dipnet 446.1 TEO Hours Dedicated to Dipnet 457.4 TEO Hours Dedicated to Dipnet Dipnet Calls for Service - 2012 14 Minor Motor Vehicle Crashes 2 Dipnetter in Distress I 1 Stuck Vehicles 2 Lost Wallet 10 Traffic flow problems 2 Individual harassing dipnetters 9 Parking Problems /Violations 2 Reported Intoxicated Drivers 8 Camping Violations 1 DUI 6 911 pocket dial l Abandoned Whole Fish 5 Speeding complaints 1 Fishing After Hours 4 Vehicle Unlock I Harassment -other 4 Lost property 1 Found Property 4 Found Child — Reunite with Parents 1 Dipnetter Selling Fish 4 Found Property 1 Dipnetters Throw Rocks @ Setnetters 3 Help Disabled Person 1 Disgruntled Over Dipnet Fees 3 Operate Veh. in Prohibited Area 1 Reckless Driving 3 Refuse to Pay Access Fee 1 Intox.

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. 18 SF '!Il flilLIF W. .1 W Elk" WNW ift lit ... .........

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 1St. 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.

KA wwwo " � '- '" r , ^ 'u` '= ~ ^� � ~ " ~ ` ^ . , " ` ` [ `� /. ^ . , " ` ` [ `� /. - -' 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 fixing the 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: Slide -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 our ALMR frequencies and we will be reprogramming our radio's to alleviate this problem within the near future. Conclusion: 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. W IN, Ad 91' 2012 Finance Department Dipnet 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 dpnet 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. O�-erall the 2012 dipnet season was a success from the Finance Department's perspective. The safety of our employees continues to be our strongest focus. U41 9 c - I is . � . .. " .
