The City of Kenai received a,,' US Fish and Wildlife grant for $12,000 for this project,
which requires a 50% match from the city. Our plan is for the city to make our match by
using some of the concrete barriers from our parking area to block access to the
wetlands along South Spruce. They are worth $2,500 each. We are using the US Fish
and Wildlife funds to block areas that are used to access the wetlands along the trail
from Municipal Park to the beach. We are using 6" X 6" wood post and rope to block
access along the trail.
I met with the US Fish and Wildlife today to see if they would allow us to match their
$12,000 with city pumhasing materials to install a 6' X 6' post and rope fonce barder
along South Spruce instead of using the concrete piles. This type of barrier would look
better and would be less of a problem for snow removal and drainage along South
Spruce. We would also add a handicap accessible concrete landing at the top of the
stairs that goes down to the beach next to the wastewater treatment plant.

The US Fish and Wildlife is very happy about working with the City of Kenai on this
project and approves of this change to the project. They have talked to me about
working with the city on future grants. This is a good base for future grants.
Brie Darr, US Fish and Wildlife, would like to address the city council at our next
meeting. I asked Carol to place her on the agenda under Scheduled Public Comments.
She has a power point presentation and would like to discuss the US Fish and Wildlife
relationship with the City of Kenai.
Below is a new cost estimate if the city council wants to increase the scope of
improvements and passes the resolution:
· Four Season Fence - Labor to install the post and rope
Home Depot- Posts
Silvertip- Rope
Tri City's Construction- Concrete-Landing
· Kenai Welding- Railings
City of Kenai- In house labor and materials
