RE' Conservation Fund Purchase of Kenai River Wetlands
Dear Mr. Meiklejohn'
Thank you for attending the July 20, 2005 Kenai City Council meeting and for your
explanation of The Conservation Fund's desire to purchase City wetlands for wildlife
protection.
The Kenai City Council will be discussing the sale of Kenai River wetlands (Parcels 1,2,
4, 5 & 6) to The Conservation Fund at our next Council meeting on August 3, 2005. We
are also preparing a resolution to be presented to the City Council at the August 3rd
meeting to approve the trade of City-owned wetland parcel 7 (value $90,000) for 6.42
acres of Conservation Fund land (value $80,000) near the Kenai Boating Facility, with
The Conservation Fund giving the city an additional $10,000 to even the trade balance.
I invite you to attend the August 3rd Council meeting. Your testimony will be helpful to
the Council as they explore the possibility of selling wetlands to The Conservation Fund.
Sincerely,
CITY OF KENAI
Charles M. Kopp
Acting City Manager
