Kenai City Dock Boat Launch Fee Adjustment for Seniors
To: Mayor Pat Porter and the Kenai City Council
Thru City Manager, Rick Koch
From: Dwight Kramer, Chairman
Kenai Area Fisherman's Coalition
Dear Mr. Koch,
P. 0. Box 375 Kenai, Alt 99611
Jan. 24, 2012
As you know Kenai Area Fisherman's Coalition (KAFC) represents private anglers in our area. In recent
years it has become more difficult for some of our area seniors, on a fixed income, to make ends meet because
of increased costs of living, With the increased costs of gasoline, outboard oil and boat launch fees their ability
to participate in local fisheries is one of the areas they have had to cut back on.
We fully appreciate why the City of Kenai felt they had to raise their boat launch fees to offset.
"penes incurred by the PU fishery, however, having the $20.00 in affect for the entire year has had limiting
ects on local seniors that would like to participate in the early King season and the fall Coho fishery.
We would appreciate it if the council would consider a fee reduction to $10.00 for senior citizens 60
years and older throughout the year except for the PU season July 10 thru the end of the PU season (generally
July 31). We understand that there may be other options for consideration but we have chosen this particular
one because it does not discriminate between resident and non - resident or a local area option that may be
difficult to administer. By virtue of the time periods involved most participants would be local area residents
anyway. We chose the 60 year definition simply because the State of Alaska issues a permanent license at this
age so it would be easy to verify. Additionally, this option does not require any additional administrative costs
except for signage and deposit envelope changes. This fee would also parallel the $11.00 fee that the City of
Soldotna charges everyone that launches at Centennial Park.
We would be glad to attend both the Harbor Commission meeting and the City Council meeting
where this might be discussed to answer an y questions that may arise.
Thank you again for consideration of this matter.
Respectfully Submitted,
ght Kramer
