Fax: 907.269.3487
The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) received notice that the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has finished its evaluation of a 2010 seafood industry
survey, as well as other information gathered by EPA regarding the seafood processing industry's
ability to use or discharge its byproducts. EPA's study results were released as a Notice of Data
Availability (NODA), which may be used in future revision of the Alaska Seafood Processing
Effluent Limitation Guidelines (ELGs) that regulate the discharge of seafood waste to surface water.
EPA public noticed the study results for comment in the Federal Register — Seafood Processing
ELG NODA on November 7, 2013. In particular, the notice indicates that EPA may, in a future
rule making, reinstate the originally promulgated ELGs for all previously listed "non- remote"
locations [Anchorage, Cordova, Juneau, Ketchikan and Petersburg] based on the use of screening
seafood waste. Currently, these areas are considered "remote" and are only required to grind their
seafood waste to a' /2 -inch particle size prior to discharge. EPA is also looking for comments on
possibly extending the definition of "non- remote" to additional community locations including
Dutch Harbor, Sitka, the Kenai Peninsula, and possibly other locations that have similar
characteristics including Naknek. EPA indicates the newly collected data suggests that screening and
other alternatives to grinding are feasible, available, and affordable in all of these locations. Use the
Federal Register: wuw.MW ations.go and search Docket ID No.: EPA- HQ -OW- 2013 -0652.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, AUTHORIZING
AN EXTENSION AND AMENDMENT OF THE LEASE OF CERTAIN CITY -OWNED

AN EXTENSION AND AMENDMENT OF THE LEASE IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF

2020 under the same terms and conditions as the existing Lease in order to obtain
grant funding for a substantial repair, renovation, and upgrade of the premises; and,

MEMO:
TO: Kenai City Council
fn� FROM: Christine Cunningham, Assistant to City Manager
HROUGH: Rick Koch, City Manager
DATE: November 26, 2013
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 2730 -2013
Peninsula Art Guild, Inc. Request for Lease Extension
Lease of City Lands, Portion of Lot 3, Block 17, Original Townsite
The purpose of this memo is to provide additional information in support of Ordinance No.
2730 -2013, which authorizes an extension and amendment of the above referenced Lease
of City Lands without a current appraisal and finding it in the best interest of the City to
deviate from the principles and policy of lease rates to allow for a lease renewal at an
annual rate of $1.00 per year.
The property and building have been leased at an annual rate of $1.00 per year for the
purpose of providing a building to house the Fine Arts Center for the benefit of the local
community since 1991. Prior to 1991, the purpose for which the Lease was issued was as
a "meeting place and display area for crafts." The current request is to extend the Lease to
December 31, 2020 under the same terms and conditions in order to justify future building
maintenance and repair expenditures, satisfy multi -year grand funding requirements, and
pursue future funding opportunities.
The City's principles and policy of lease rates as outlined in Code require a fair return to
the City's General Fund. To ensure a fair return, lease rates are based on fair market
value as determined by a qualified independent appraiser and are 8% of fair market value.
In the absence of an appraisal, the best available information on the value of the land area
and building improvements is the Kenai Peninsula Borough Assessment, which is
approximately $227,451.50 (see attached). Based on this value, the annual lease rate
would be approximately $18,196.12.
Page 28 of 96
The City's Code requires that any renewal lease be reviewed by the Planning & Zoning
Commission as to whether the request conforms to the Comprehensive Plan and the
Kenai Zoning Code. The Request has been scheduled for the December 11, 2013 Meeting
of the Planning & Zoning Commission. The recommendation from the Planning & Zoning
Commission will be provided in a supplemental memo at the December 18, 2013 Council
Meeting.

community outreach to Central Peninsula schools, senior centers, and other civic organizations, and
Whereas in the course of its building repair and grant preparation programs, the directors of

of Kenai execute a memorandum of lease continuing the existing lease upon its same terms and
conditions for a period of seven additional years, with said extended lease to expire on December
31, 2020.

MEMO:
TO: Rick Koch
VVV FROM: Mary Jo Joiner
DATE: 18 November 2013
SUBJECT: Early Literacy Hardware and Software Grant
The Alaska State Library is offering the Kenai Community Library the opportunity to purchase an
additional 2 (two) AWE Early Literacy Stations with grant funds. The grant is designed to
increase the availability and quality of public computing services in public libraries and to
promote digital literacy for 4 -8 year olds. This grant is made possible through the U.S.
Department of Commerce Broadband Technology Program Alaska OWL Project grant.
Over 35% of public library systems in the United States now have these Early Literacy Stations.
Children are able to learn independently using these stations which require no technical support,
Internet connection or staff assistance. The child -safe browser allows children to safely explore
carefully chosen and highly engaging educational resources.
The software includes over 60 educational software titles spanning seven curricular areas. The
software content on the AWE stations is aligned with U.S. state and national educational
standards. The station also includes e -books and interactive story books.
The grant funds include the cost of the stations, headphones, hardware and shipping for a total
cost of $5,284.00. The cost of these stations has been reduced due to the group quote that the
Alaska State Library was able to negotiate.
All publicity will acknowledge the support of the Alaska OWL Project and the Rasmuson
Foundation as well as the U.S. Department of Commerce.

FROM: Gus Sandahl — Police Chief
DATE: 11121/13
SUBJECT: Request ordinance appropriating anticipated reimbursement funds
from Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC)
For several years the Kenai Police Department has been a member of the Internet
Crimes Against Children (ICAC) task force. ICAC is a network of law enforcement
agencies who investigate internet crimes against children. Participating agencies also
provide awareness and prevention education in the community. For several years, the
ICAC regional coordinator has received federal funding to disperse to participating law
enforcement agencies for ICAC - related equipment and for ICAC training needs.
The ICAC regional coordinator in Anchorage has agreed to reimburse the Kenai Police
Department for computer forensic equipment and software renewals that will aid the
Kenai Police Department in performing ICAC specific investigations. These ICAC -
specific costs of $1,685.94 were not included in the FY14 budget.
I am requesting an ordinance appropriating:
$1,100.00 into the General Fund - Police Software account.
528.99 into the General Fund — Police Small Tools account
56.95 into the General Fund — Police Operating account

1. Describe the Completed Project: From May through the Harvest Moon Local Food
Week, Sept. 16 -21, the Kenai Soil & Water Conservation District carried out an area -
wide marketing campaign to promote local food. The campaign included ads on KSRM
and affiliated stations featuring a local farmer and mothers describing the benefits of
buying local food (May - Sept.), extended PSA's on KDLL (July - Sept), ads in the Redoubt
Reporter (July- Sept), a web page (www.KenaiLocalFood.org) and a Facebook page. In
addition, we distributed hundreds of copies of the Local Foods Directory via Kenai and
Soldotna libraries and visitors centers.
2. How did you use the grant funds? Grant funds from the City of Kenai paid for ads in
the Redoubt Reporter and extended PSA's on KDLL. (See sample and photos attached.)
3. How successful was your project? Very! Of the 204 people we surveyed at two local
farmers markets in August, an overwhelming majority (84 %) said they were more
aware of Alaska Grown food options than in 2012. 38% said they had heard about the
market via radio, newspaper, Facebook or the Local Foods Directory. We're still col-
lecting feedback from local food producers, but of the six producers interviewed to
date, all have reported increased sales due to a variety of factors, including but not
limited to this campaign.
4. Who assisted with your project? People Promoting Wellness and the PPW /Local Food
Group; UAF- Cooperative Extension Service; District summer hire, Makena Roesch;
Kenai & Soldotna libraries; Kenai & Soldotna Visitors Centers; Central Kenai Peninsula
Farmers Market; Farmers Fresh Market; KSRM, KDLL, Redoubt Reporter, and the Pen-
insula Clarion. Additional financial support came from Alaska Division of Agriculture,
City of Soldotna, Kenai Peninsula Foundation, Alaska Berries, Back To Nature Chiro-
practic, Kenai Peninsula RC &D, and Matti's Farm.

MEMO*
TO: City Council
FROM: Rick Koch
DATE: November 12, 2013
SUBJECT: 2013 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 $440,185.00 against non -
grant expenditures (current and projected) of $438,911.00, or projected revenues over
expenditures of ($1,274.00). If you include grant revenues and expenditures both of these
values would be increased by $233,107.00.
The projected expenditures for the 2013 season (FY 2014 budget) include estimated personnel
costs associated with preparations for the 2014 fishery, communication radios for the police
and fire departments, a pick -up truck for the parks and recreation department, and other items
shown on the attached spreadsheet.
Budgeted revenues and expenditures of $483,152.00 were not achieved. As stated above,
actual revenue was $440,185.00 and expenditures are estimated to be $438,911.00, or roughly
$40,000, less than budget.
The 2013 season, based on non -grant revenues, exhibited the greatest annual activity to date,
exceeding the 2012 non -grant revenues ($362,088) by $78,097.00 or 21.57 %. The increase in
revenue was caused primarily by an increase in fees. During one weekend fishery participants
exceeded the largest past participation by 10% -15%. However, the number of total transactions
was slightly lower than 2012 as a result of a short, but intense, run of sockeye. As a result of the
lower number of participants, the City was able to minimize the amount of overtime at all
locations, with the exception of the dock.
Page 59 of 96
Non -grant funded expenditures (current and projected) of $438,911.00 for 2013 exceed the
2012 non -grant funded expenditures by $76,823, or 21.2 %.
City personnel again successfully responded to many challenges during the fishery this year.
The higher volume of participants during the peak weekend, the Alaska Department of Fish &
Game's (ADF &G)decision to make the fishery around - the -clock (24hr), and extremely high tides,
were all challenges to the City's ability to provide quality services. The Administration
submitted numerous requests to the Commissioner of ADF &G asking that the fishery not be
opened to 24 -hour activity, but were unsuccessful in maintaining a 6AM -1113M fishery.
The City undertook a new policy towards management of fish waste during the 2013 season,
requiring that fishery participants either remove all fish waste from the beach or to dispose of
fish waste into the waters of the Kenai River or Cook Inlet. A small number of fishery
participants removed their fish whole from the mouth of the Kenai, but the majority adhered to
the City's requirement that fish waste be directly deposited into the water. While it was still
necessary for the City to rake the beaches with tractors and re- deposit fish waste into the
water, this system appeared to work very well, and the beaches were kept free from fish waste.
Fortunately, ADF &G's emergency order to increase the fishery to a 24 -hour opening came after
the majority of the fish had passed into the river. If the 24 -hour opening had been in effect
during prolonged periods of high - volume harvest, it may have been necessary for the City to
close the beaches to public access for the removal of fish waste and to safeguard public health.
No changes in fish waste management are contemplated for the 2014 season.
During the 2013 season, the City contracted with a third party to install and service, 4 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, dumpsters were evenly spaced along the beach in camping areas. The
dumpsters were serviced daily and more frequently if required during periods of peak use. The
readily available dumpsters resulted in fishery participants placing solid waste other than fish
waste in the receptacles. As with fish waste, because the majority of the fish run had passed
when ADF &G opened the fishery to 24- hours, the contractor was still able to service /empty the
full dumpsters without conflict with fishery participants. This may not be possible during 24-
hour openings if there are large numbers of fishery participants on the beaches from 11PM to
6AM. In the future, if 24 -hour openings occur, it may be necessary to close the beaches to the
public in order to service solid waste dumpsters in a safe manner. No changes to solid waste
management are contemplated during the 2014 season.
In general, the fees for the 2013 season are proposed to remain in place for the 2014 season.
There was confusion over the manner in which "parking days" and "camping days" were
defined. In order to recognize the inherent difference in parking and camping, the following fee
schedule is proposed to be utilized in 2014:
Page 60 of 96
9
1. Day Use Parking (midnight to midnight)
$20.00
2. Overnight Parking, includes Camping -vehicle or one tent $55.00
(before noon of first day to noon of second day)
3. Overnight Parking, includes Camping — vehicle or one tent $45.00
(after noon of first day to noon of second day)
4. Vehicle drop -off (30 minutes maximum) $10.00
5. ATV Parking (up to two ATV's) $20.00
6. Camping (noon to noon) $25.00
This year the City observed a significant increase in the number of ATV's entering City property
without payment of fees. There are several camping areas on Kalifornsky Beach Road from
which fishery participants drive their ATV's to the south beach. While some of these ATV's stop
and pay fees at the fee stations, the majority attempt to find access to the beach in a manner
that avoids paying fees to the City. In 2014 the City will enforce parking fees for ATV's. The
same services, fish waste management, solid waste collection, portable sanitation, etc., are
utilized by fishery participants accessing the north and south beach areas by ATVs.
Additionally, we observed a larger volume of fishery participants parking in Old Town and
accessing the north beach via Meeks Trail, thereby avoiding payment of fees. These participants
take advantage of services provided by the City through use of toilets, collection of solid waste,
and raking of fish waste on the beach. We propose severely limiting the number of on- street
parking opportunities in Old Town so that participants utilize City parking lots. This same
situation exists along Forest Drive and within Municipal Park by fishery participants accessing
the beach via the trail from Municipal Park. We are proposing to limit parking on Forest Drive
and eliminating non - permit parking in Municipal Park during the Personal Use Fishery.
In 2013 the City increased cash - management controls in place at the fee stations by using
computer /cash registers to generate fee receipts. The addition of cash register /computer
systems provided operational controls and real -time data collection. Permanent power and
communications was established to all fee stations which facilitated the use of credit cards for
fee payments. No substantial changes to the City's cash - management controls are
contemplated during the 2014 season.
Our ability to issue citations for violations of City code was severely restricted in 2013 as a
result of a decision by the Alaska Court System to require personal service of any citation. In
other words we were unable to simply leave a citation on the windshield of a vehicle, or on a
tent, etc. This may be addressed during the upcoming legislative session. If not, I propose that
the City amend code to provide for an internal process in which the City Manager, or Chief of
Page 61 of 96
Police, is a hearing officer, eliminating the use of the Alaska Court System. This is similar to the
manner in which the Municipality of Anchorage and other political subdivisions provide for
being able to issue citations without personal service.
The boat traffic on the Kenai River taking part in the Fishery appeared to be at the greatest level
observed to date. We observed unsafe conditions such as excessive speed, traveling too close
to another vessel, overloaded vessels, and extremely small vessels at risk of being swamped by
boat wakes. It is not clear which agency, or agencies, have regulatory authority over boat traffic
on the Kenai River in the area of the personal use fishery. Administration has requested that
the City Attorney research this issue.
Included in this report are the departmental reports which were submitted to the city manager.
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.

SUBJECT: 2013 Dipnet Report
The 2013 Dipnet fishery opened on July 10 and ended on July 31. The fishery was extended to
24 hours on July 22. In 2013, the Police Department expanded to six temporary enforcement
officers (TEOs) dedicated to Police dipnet operations. Their presence and interactions with
dipnet participants may have contributed to a slight decrease in calls for service from 2012.
Significant 2013 Police dipnet information as follows:
137 dipnet calls for service (down from 142 in 2012). Those calls for service included: 22
parking problems, Eleven 911 misdials, 8 stuck vehicles, 8 lost /found property, 7 vehicle
unlocks, 7 camping problems, 5 motor vehicle crashes, 4 Dipnet Regulation violations, 4
ATV complaints, 3 fireworks, 3 thefts, 3 traffic congestion, 3 lost /missing child, 2
harassment, 1 assault, 1 verbal dispute, and many others.
TEOs wrote 12 dipnet - related citations (9 for driving in a prohibited area, and 3 for
parking offenses).
Alaska Wildlife Troopers had an increased and sustained presence at Kenai dipnet
locations throughout the fishery. Their dedicated staffing to the personal use fishery is
greatly appreciated.
- Kenai Beaches were closed to overnight camping starting from 12:00 am on the
mornings of July 23, 24, 25. The high tides on these mornings ranged from 24 ft. to 24.6
ft. The Police Dept. staffed TEOs during the peak high tides to warn any remaining
campers of impending flooding of tents /vehicles, and were able to ensure that people
did not seek refuge in the dunes.
- In 2013, the City Code was amended with regards to allowing the disposal of fish
carcasses back into the river. The Code established a $150 fine for depositing carcasses
Page 64 of 96
onto the beach. The City placed an abundance of signs along the North Beach advising
of carcass disposal requirements. TEOs saw very few carcasses on the beaches and they
did not see anyone disposing of fish waste incorrectly. As a result, there were no
citations issued for the illegal deposit of fish waste. TEOs received regular compliments
and thanks from dipnetters in regards to how clean the beaches were. Salmon Frenzy,
ROC the Kenai, and the Kenai Cross Country Ski Team effectively removed much of the
trash left on the beach.
Salmon Frenzy volunteers were once again very effective in relieving congestion on
Kenai Ave. through traffic control efforts during the weekends.
The two busiest days for the Police Department were Friday, July 19, and Saturday, July
20. Both of these days required hours of traffic control on Bridge Access Rd. at Boat
Launch Rd. Traffic on Boat Launch Rd. was backed up to Bridge Access Rd. due to low
tide boat launch closures. S. Spruce Street had very large volumes of traffic during that
weekend (backed up to the ball fields), requiring extra police presence to keep traffic
flowing.
This was the second year that an MOA was in place between the Borough and City
giving the City temporary jurisdiction of Dunes Rd. and both sides of Old Cannery Rd. for
sign placement, collection of fees, enforcement of minor offenses, etc. It is
recommended the City and Borough continue this MOA in future years for the benefit to
residents inside and outside of the Borough who are impacted by the dipnet fishery.
There is limited parking along Cannery Rd. and Dunes Rd. for dipnet participants. This
was the first year of No Parking on both sides of Old Cannery Rd., which resulted in
many participants parking in the Bowpicker Ln. right of way (making this right of way
very congested). For the first time, dipnet participants also parked in the undeveloped
subdivision off of Dunes Rd., across from Sailors Watch.
The TEOs primarily utilized three different police vehicles (1 pickup, 1 Expedition, 1 sedan). On
the beaches they utilized two new 4- wheelers, one Police Ranger side by side, and one Fire
Department Ranger side by side. This equipment adequately enabled them to do their job, and
the Police Department is not requesting any additional dipnet- specific vehicles for 2014.
As with every year, officers and TEOs worked extended and /or extra shifts during peak weeks.
Police personnel demonstrate remarkable care for the City during this busy time. On duty
officers make dipnet locations their primary patrol areas. All six of the TEOs were rookies with
the Police Department, and overall they demonstrated maturity and a strong work ethic. Police
personnel adequately coordinated dipnet operations with other City Departments and with the
State Troopers. We will learn from the 2013 dipnet experiences, and will continue to work with
all involved City Departments to enhance City dipnet operations for 2014.

MEMO*
TO: Gus Sandahl, Chief of Police
FROM: Robert J. Frates, Parks & Recreation Director
DATE: October 21, 2013
SUBJECT: Parks & Recreation Dip Net Summary
The Personal Use Fishery opened at 6:00 a.m. on July 10th and closed at 11:59 p.m. July 31'`
Once again, preparation for the fishery began several months in advance of the season opener
with particular focus on waste management, enforcement and fee shack operations. As in past
years, the overall success hinges on the coordination and hard work by several City
departments, including State and Federal agencies and community volunteers.
Waste Management
One of the management objectives going into this year's fishery was to reduce the amount of
fish waste and other solid waste on the north and south beaches. Components of this strategy
included placement of six, 4 -yd solid waste dumpsters on the north beach (daily service),
signage, education (pamphlets) and increased enforcement. Solid waste dumpsters on the
south beach were provided as in years past and also serviced daily. The above mentioned
services, including portable restrooms, were again provided by Peninsula Pumping,
Incorporated.
The department also increased its raking of fish waste on the north and south beach. A new
tractor and hydraulic rake was purchased and utilized on the north beach. The south beach
was maintained with a previously acquired tractor and rake. Overall, there were limited
amounts of fish waste generated on the beach, unlike year's past. Most participants complied
with disposal instructions and those that didn't were appropriately dealt with by the Temporary
Enforcement Officers.
Efforts were made to rake the beaches twice daily during low tides. However, as the fishery got
into full swing, the amount of congestion on the beaches made this difficult and the
department resorted to raking between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. Once the fishery
9
opened 24 -hours on July 22 "d due to an emergency opening, this operation required use of
personnel to serve as a "pilot car" on ATVs. There is a need for a secured equipment storage
area located somewhere near the south beach. This area would be used to store the tractor
with rake, ATV's and other equipment needed to facilitate maintenance and enforcement
efforts. Equipment used on the north beach was stored at the Wastewater Treatment Plant.
An individual made contact with the City toward the tail end of the fishery inquiring about the
possibility of obtaining the fish waste collected from the north beach. He was interested in
utilizing the fish waste for composting. The department facilitated this operation on a trial
bases one evening, however, the volume of waste collected was not sufficient enough to make
it a viable operation to continue at that time. However, perhaps in the future this process can
be revisited and better defined.
Overall, waste management objectives were met and a big thank you goes to the many
volunteers for their cleanup efforts.
Enforcement
The addition of two Temporary Enforcement Officers through the Police Department allowed
for increased presence and enforcement of the fish waste ordinance, in addition to, handling
other issues such as littering and parking/camping compliance. This effort was supplemented
by a Parks and Recreation temporary worker with a bulk of their time spent on the north beach.
Monitoring of the south beach was more inconsistent for the Parks & Recreation Department
although both temporary staff and full -time staff members were occasionally utilized,
particularly mid -way through the fishery and during peak times.
The temporary worker hired through the Parks Department to assist with camping /parking
compliance on the north beach didn't start until July 19th. She worked diligently conversing
with participants, checking receipts, monitoring compliance for fish waste disposal and other
related ordinances. This position also proves beneficial as a general resource for participants
seeking general information, locating lost items, assisting with traffic control, etcetera.
There were significantly less trash and fish waste issues this season and negative impacts to the
dunes and surrounding areas were again minimized. Re- vegetation work over the years in
several dune locations has proven successful and this effort should continue, in addition to,
installation of fence and chain on the remaining sections of dunes. To my knowledge, the only
report the department received of illegal dumping of fish waste outside the beach boundaries
occurred at the dumpster located at Daubenspeck Family Park. This was an isolated case and
no further problems were noted.
Fee Shack Operations
The computerized cashiering system in many ways made the shack attendant's job much easier
and safer. Not only did it allow a more effective way to capture certain fishery data, but it
allowed for credit card transactions and better internal controls coupled with increased
security. Although the system is fairly comprehensive, shack operators found it to be simple
C
and intuitive. Logistical support was only a phone call away and many times was handled over
the network. Installation of permanent power and better lighting also increased safety and
provided a more conducive work environment for the attendants.
New traffic controls and vehicular routing at the dock seemed to have greatly increased flow
and safety. It was noted by the fee attendant working the dock that the computer monitor
inside the shack needs relocated as to not visually impede line of sight while observing
oncoming traffic.
The pedestrian closure at the bird viewing platform created some confusion to those
accustomed to using this area. The closure caused participants to access the river bank near
the dock facility and travel upstream along the muddy bank. Those not mindful of the tidal
influx had difficulty and created unsafe conditions at times.
Some confusion was expressed by participants of the fishery concerning the fee structure.
Many interpreted the payment based on 24 -hours incorrectly and thought it was based on from
the time of check -in, as opposed to the defined times. This was generally not an issue except
those using the self -fee stations after hours. The rate increase of $5.00 over last year didn't
appear to be a concern for the majority and many participants noted an increase in services,
particularly how clean the beaches were.
Some Participants are finding ways to avoid paying fees by accessing Meeks Trail in Old Town,
accessing fee stations after hours, or by dropping off folks on the beaches, thus eliminating
parking fees. A solution needs to be rendered for these scenarios.
Miscellaneous
The Public Works Department, through a competitive bid process, hired a contractor to provide
repairs and drainage enhancements to the Meeks Trail. This work was accomplished in time for
the dip net fishery.
The Parks Department spent a couple days making repairs to the fence and chain on the north
beach that were dislodged. This was most likely a result of winter storms and ice flow
throughout the winter months.
Signage in the parking lot on the north beach should be evaluated and a determination made as
to what needs to be removed or replaced. Some of the signs erected pertain only to the dip net
fishery and perhaps these should be removed at the completion of each season. Others have
become damaged or weathered. As the fishery continues to grow and issues addressed
through signage, my concern is inadvertently creating "sign pollution" for this otherwise
beautiful location.
Use of the overflow parking lot located at the adult softball fields received minimal use despite
the two weekends that the little league field reached full capacity. The most this area received
was during the beach closures through the extreme high tide series. Some folks did take the
1 n
necessary precautions and were appreciative of the City providing an alternative camping
location during this time.
Overall, the 2013 fishery was fairly successful, particularly from a maintenance operations
standpoint. Development and refinement of strategies and goals will continue to be discussed
and improvements made where needed. I want to thank everyone involved, particularly my
staff and personnel from other City departments, for their continued cooperation and
dedication toward making this fishery as safe and pleasurable experience as possible.

SUBJECT: Public Works Dipnet Report
The 2013 dipnet season was the busiest to date and very successful for the Public Works
Departments. Each and every Public Works department and employee contributes to the City's
successful management of the additional work that results from this fishery.
The Streets department performed the following tasks in support of the Personal Use fishery.
• Install and remove temporary signs and barricades.
• Place and retrieve the 3 fee shacks.
• Build gravel roads at the north and south beach access points.
• Manage and staff the boating facility.
• Perform additional grading and dust control on high traffic roads and parking lots.
Our Streets foreman suggested and executed a plan to widen the boating facility exit road to
allow for separate left and right turning lanes. This dramatically increased the flow and safety
during high usage. The Streets crew used their equipment and manpower to build the road.
The Building Maintenance department was very helpful with setting the piles and floats and
opening and winterizing the restrooms.
The Wastewater Treatment Plant was used to store equipment utilized during the fishery
behind a locked gate.
The Shop department responded promptly to a number of calls to fix dipnet related equipment.

The Water department keeps us in compliance with DEC by performing water tests on the
boating facility well.
My Administrative Assistant performs numerous tasks, and answers dozens of calls related to
the fishery.
This year I heard more compliments than 1 received complaints. This was in large part due to
the fact that we adequately staffed the boating facility. During the peak days our entire Streets
crew, in addition to the two temporary personnel, spent their entire shift staffing the facility. In
the 2014 budget process I requested 3 temporary positions for twenty one twelve hour days
totaling 756 hours and received approval for 336 hours. In the future I would like to adequately
staff the facility with temporary lower grade personnel, freeing up the Streets crew to keep up
with their routine tasks.
In addition to widening the boating facility exit road and dipnet related signage, the City of
Kenai completed two capital projects this year related to the dipnet fishery. Both were
completed within a very tight timeframe, and each had their own unique challenges,
The fee shack permanent power was competitively bid with plans and specifications generated
by me to eliminate the time and money required to hire a consultant. Coordinating with HEA
proved to be challenging yet rewarding as they contended with their new tariff and associated
rules. The project was completed in time for the fishery, with a functional and economical
design, for a reasonable subcontractor cost.
The Meeks trail repair and drainage improvement project had even more difficult time
restraints. The project was designed and bid in a very short time, during the busiest time of the
year for construction. The contractor was required to complete the work between the dates of
July 1 and July 9, the 4th of July weekend notwithstanding. During onsite collaboration between
the City, the engineer, and the contractor, last minute changes were made to the design.
Shortly after project completion we received two inches of rain in two hours. The trail received
very minimal damage which was able to be repaired by the Streets and Parks and Recreation
department.
Overall it was a very successful year for the Public Works Department, thanks to the good work
and dedication of my personnel.

MEMO:
TO: City Manager Koch
FROM: Chief Tilly
DATE: November 18, 2013
SUBJECT: Fire Department Dip Net Report
Rick,
The purpose of this memo is to summarize the Fire Department's activities during the personal
use fishery 2013.
As with past years, our preparation included training and re- familiarization with boating
operations, forecasting tidal peaks, and in turn possibly forecasting peak weekends of dip net
participants. Anticipating the peak weekends placed duty personnel on alert for additional calls
and off duty members to remain vigilant for recalls. This year was especially challenging with
the extreme tides we witnessed, making potential access to dip net participants either difficult
or nonexistent. This pre planning every year is important as there are always subtle changes to
access to beaches, improvements to access to the City Dock and also a chance to reevaluate
response protocol.
This year the call volume was similar to years past with the only change being a few more fires.
We responded to dumpster fires on both the North and South beach and one vehicle fire on the
South beach. On the medical side we responded to one seizure, one stroke, one animal bite,
two muscular skeletal injuries, a fall victim and unfortunately one fatal cardiac arrest.
Total: 3 Fires Total: 7 Medical calls
As a participant of the dipnet fishery for many years, it is my personal observation that the boat
traffic on the river was as heavy as I have ever seen. I am constantly amazed that we are not
called for more boating incidents but I am happy to report that we did not respond to any
reported boat accidents during the personal use fishery.

FINANCE DEPARTMENT
210 Fidalgo Avenue, Kenai, Alaska 99611 -7794
Telephone: 907 - 283 -7535 ext 221 / FAX: 907 - 283 -3014
To: Rick Koch, City Manager
From: Terry Eubank, Finance Director
Date: October 10, 2013
Subject: 2013 Dipnet Summary
Preparation for the 2013 Personal Use Fishery began in February for the Finance Department with a
project to implement a computerized cashiering system. The goals of the project were to enhance the
internal controls over cash taken for payment during the fishery, facilitate the acceptance of credit cards
as a form of payment, facilitate the gathering and reporting of fishery user data, and to improve the
safety of the cashiers by limiting the cash present in the shacks.
Computerized Cashiering System Project
Search for a commercial software solution was unsuccessful and a local programmer was hired to
create a custom software solution. The software was written for a total cost of $6,600.00. Future cost
for software maintenance, enhancements and support are expected to be less than $1,000 per year.
Key features of the software included automatic fee calculation, credit card payment acceptance, email
notification to Kenai Dispatch for cash pick -up when cash level in the shack reached preset limits,
collection of participant zip code and emergency contact number, and real time reporting of all activity.
In order to make this new system functional at all shack locations, significant upgrades were required.
Permanent power was installed at the Dunes Road, Old Cannery Road, and North Beach shack
locations at a total cost of $46,372.65. Wireless network infrastructure and computer equipment was
installed at all shack locations to provide connectivity and the operating platform for the cashiering
system at a total cost of $15,464.37. Permanent power and the network infrastructure made the
purchase and installation of phones, other security devices, and video cameras possible. Phones and
other security devices were installed in all shacks at a cost of $3,260.76. Video cameras were installed
at the City Dock and North Beach at a cost of $1,331.30 to provide the Kenai Police Department (KPD)
real time views of traffic at these two locations.
The scope of the computerized cashiering system project grew greatly before completion. The
department views the project as a success with all project objectives being met. Success of the project
is due in large part to the efforts of Dan Castimore, the City's Information Technology Manager.
2013 Revenues
2013 fees increased to support increased garbage collection and beach cleaning efforts by the City.
Parking and camping fees on the City's north and south beaches increase by $5.00 to $20.00 and
$25.00 respectively. Boat launch and parking fees at the City's dock increase by $5.00 to $15.00 and
$25.00 respectively. The time period for parking fees were changed from twelve hours beginning at the
time of payment to twenty -four hours beginning daily at 5:01am and ending the next day at 5:OOam.
Camping fees were charged per night and required campers to vacate their site by 12:OOpm daily.

2013 Finance Department
Dionet Summary
Significant confusion occurred with this fee structure and the department will be recommending a
change in fee structure for the 2014 fishery. The recommended fee structure will combine parking fees
with camping fees for anyone who will remain on the beach after midnight each day of the fishery.
A policy of no refunds by cashiers was implemented this fishery. Participants were required to request
refunds by completing a form and submitting it to the Finance Department. Refunds requests were
denied unless the participant could show they used no City services prior to requesting the refund and
the request for refund was for reason beyond the control of the participant. As a result of this policy
very few refunds were issued. The department will be recommending a policy of absolutely no refunds
for future fisheries.
2013 revenues were $673,292, $42,967 less than the FY14 budgeted amount. A comparison of 2013
fishery revenue to prior years is shown below, it should be noted that the breakdown by site and service
for 2013 is based upon actual transactions. Prior year transactions by site and service were estimated.
The new cashiering system provides this level of detail and will enhance future revenue and fee change
projections.

Data showed participants with 317 different mailing zip codes. Participants with a 99611 zip code were
5.09% of the total. Participants with a Kenai Peninsula Borough, including the 99611 zip code, were
17.27% of the total. 82.73% of participants had neither City or Borough mailing zip code. Zip codes
were collected from 92.94% of all fee paying participants.
Payment of fees by cash was once again the dominant method at 79.4 %. Credit cards comprised
16.5% of all fees collected and checks were the remaining 4.1 %. It is expected that credit card
payment percentage will grow in future years as participants become aware they can use their cards.
Fees paid for credit card acceptance totaled $1,386.97 or 1.91% of fees paid by credit card. Out of a
total of 261 checks received, nine checks were returned for non - sufficient funds, one was returned due
to closed accounts, two were returned as refer to maker, and two were returned after the account
holder stopped payment by their financial institution. As a result the City has not collected $495.00 or
2.75% of fees paid by check. The department recommends no longer accepting checks for payment of
personal use fishery fees.

2013 Finance Department
Dionet Summary
2013 Summary and Recommendations
The 2013 fishery was a success for the Finance Department. The new cashiering system provided
significant improvements in staff safety, data collection, and accuracy. The creation of the Personal
Use Fishery Fund provided for more accurate expenditure tracking by departments. The following
recommendations are made in preparation for future fisheries.
1. Camping fees should be increased to include vehicle parking in order to reduce participant
confusion. Camping will be charged to any participant who remains on the beach after
12:00am daily.
2. A policy of no refund of participant fees should be adopted.
3. A policy of accepting only cash and credit cards for payment of personal use fishery fees
should be adopted.
4. Despite the improvement made this year by the computerized cashiering system department
continues to recommend a ticket based revenue system where the participant pays parking
fees when exiting the beach. The fee would be based upon actual time parked.
5. Enhance the cashiering systems capabilities to include collection of participant numbers as
well as zip code and emergency contact number.
6. Study the possible elimination of iron ranger fee stations and replace with shacks manned 24-
hours per day and remote fee stations at overflow parking and camping areas.

GROWING FOOD SECURITY
Partnering to promote agriculture, conserve farmland and increase food security
Raising Consumer Awareness From May
to September, 2013, the District conducted an
area -wide marketing campaign to raise con-
sumer awareness of Alaska Grown food, par-
ticularly that grown in the Central Peninsula.
We utilized radio and newspaper ads, as well
as Facebook, and widely distributed a local
foods directory, in print and on -line at
www.KenaiLocalFood.org. Consumer surveys
conducted at farmers markets in August re-
vealed that the vast majority of shoppers were
more aware of options for purchasing Alaska
Grown products than in the previous year.
This work was funded by a $2000 Cooperative
Marketing Grant from the Alaska Division of
Agriculture, mini -grants from the Cities of
Soldoma and Kenai and the Kenai Peninsula
Foundation, and donations from Alaska
Berries, Back to Nature Chiropractic, Kenai
Peninsula RC &D and Matti's Farm.
Shoppers at the Central Kenai Peninsula Farmers Market in Soldotna take part
in a survey during the 2013 Local Food Campaign.
Opening New Markets
In January of 2013, the District partnered with Coopera-
tive Extension, Div. of Ag and the Kenai /Soldoma
Chambers of Commerce to organize an "eating local"
event to promote the Alaska Restaurant Rewards pro-
gram and plant seeds for new farm -to- restaurant efforts.
In June, the District, in partnership with the Kenai Penin-
sula Food Bank and growers, launched a new "food -
focused" farmers market targeting commercial buyers and
locals. During its first year, the Fanners Fresh Market
drew an average of 160 shoppers per week. In 2012, the
District tested on -line food hub software and helped start
experimental "workplace farmers markets" in Kenai and
Soldoma.

Fresh Market that she helped start.

Offering Learning Opportunities for
farmers is a District priority. In the past
year, we created a lending library of sus-
tainable agriculture books, videos and pe-
riodicals; partnered with UAF-
Cooperative Extension to host workshops
on hay /haylage and on -farm food safety;
and co- sponsored the 3rd Annual Kenai
Peninsula Ag Forum. The Food Bank
Demonstration High Tunnel, built in
2011 with assistance from NRCS and the
District, is another leaming resource.

Assisting High Tunnel Growers In FYI 3, the Dis-
trict continued to support high tunnel agriculture by
organizing educational tours for current and prospec-
tive growers, conducting site visits to NRCS - funded
high tunnels to encourage good record - keeping, circu-
lating an e- newsletter to a list of 148 subscribers, and
maintaining a webpage to answer questions most fre-
quently asked by new high tunnel growers.
Practical Tools for Growers The District's special-
ized rental equipment is valued by local hay, bent',
vegetable and peony growers. This year we added a
broadfork, two backpack sprayers and manual seeders
to the rental inventory, and contracted with an experi-
enced equipment operator to run the District's Meri
C'nichPr
Putting Kenai Peninsula Agriculture on the Map
In February, 2013, the District worked with partners to mo-
bilize the ag community to participate in a Borough land
use survey. Respondents helped to identify more than
11,000 acres of state -owned land with agricultural potential
for Borough selection — an important step toward coopera-
tion with the Borough on land use issues, including farm-
land conservation. In the coming year, we hope to work
with the Borough to make soils data and maps of land with
agricultural potential more accessible to the public.
At right, a map of the District by soil cappability classes.
Yellow indicates soils with the best agricultural potential.

PLANTING THE SEED
Good stewardship of natural resources starts with inspiring young people
Sixth - graders at Tustumena Elementary plant their class tree.
What is "Schoolyard Habitat "?
Schoolyard Habitat is a nationwide pro-
gram developed and funded by U.S. Fish
& Wildlife Service that involves students
and community at every phase of vision-
ing, designing, constructing, use and
maintenance of projects on school
grounds that create habitat for birds, fish,
and native plants and gets kids learning
outdoors.
"Soil to Spoon "Poster Contest In fall
2012, the District partnered with Central
Peninsula Garden Club, UAF- Cooperative
Extension, 4 -H and Kenai Peninsula Boys &
Girls Clubs to spread the word about its an-
nual conservation poster contest. The theme
was "Soil to Spoon." At right is the 1st place
poster for Grades 7 -9 by Jaedyn Gale, 13, of
Soldoma. The 2013 theme is "Where Does
Your Water shed ?"
Schoolyard Habitats Connecting kids with nature
lays the foundation for long -term soil and water stew-
ardship. In the first year of the District's Schoolyard
Habitat program, our Schoolyard Habitat Coordinator,
Dan Funk, worked with teams composed of parents,
faculty and students at Tustumena Elementary and
Sterling Elementary to design and begin implementing
their Schoolyard Habitat master plans. At Tustumena,
nature viewing trails were cleared with help from the
Kenai Peninsula Borough. Students planted "class
trees" and built and installed birdhouses. A native tree
nursery, natural amphitheater and interpretive signage
are in the works. At Sterling Elementary, students made
birdhouses and "nest starters" for their Schoolyard
Habitat, and nature trail construction is well underway.
Kaleidoscope Charter School is scheduled to join the
program during the 2013 -14 school year. This work has
been made possible by a $25,000 grant from U.S. Fish
& Wildlife Service, and a grant of $8,333 from the Scott
Paper Company.

FIGHTING ALIENS
Working with willing landowners to prevent the spread of invasive plants
Certified Weed Free Forage In FYI 3, the District assumed
local management of the statewide Weed Free Forage pro-
gram. Hay growers report increasing consumer interest in
weed -free products, which are used in livestock operations (as
feed) and in road - building and streambank restoration pro-
jects (as mulch) to prevent the spread of invasive plants along
trails, roads and waterways. With help from volunteer in-
spector, Janice Chumley, the District provided free WFF cer-
tification to five growers in 2013, up from one in 2011. We
promoted Weed Free Forage at the February Haygrowers
Workshop and at the Kenai Peninsula State Fair in Ninilchik.
A new webpage at www.kenasoilandwater.org provides in-
formation and links to growers of WFF- certified hay.
Hay, hay, hay! Hay has long been one of the Borough's top
agricultural products. In support of dozens of local hay grow-
ers, the District organized its third annual cooperative fertilizer
order and featured an eye - catching "Buy Local" display at the
2012 and 2013 fairs in Ninilchik emphasizing that local hay is
high quality, economical, and supports the local economy.

An ounce of prevention... Weed seeds can spread via
mobile equipment, so the District developed a "Best
Management Practices for Shared Farming Equipment"
brochure, which is distributed with every equipment rent-
al. We also distribute guidelines for properly handling
pesticides along with rentals of spray equipment.
What is an invasive plant? Invasive plants are non-
native species that spread rapidly and have negative im-
pacts on fish, wildlife, agriculture or human health.
Collaborative efforts are key to containing and eradicat-
ing invasive plants. The District is a partner of the Kenai
Peninsula Cooperative Weed Management Area, which
in 2013 sponsored a third successful Weed Smackdown
and surveyed for elodea, an aquatic invasive that is new
on the Peninsula. The District is working with property
owners on Sports Lake Road in Soldoma to contain and
eradicate an isolated infestation of bird vetch.

BUILDING ORGANIZATIONAL CAPACITY
Planning for Effectiveness With help from the
Foraker Group and a capacity- building grant from
the Alaska Community Foundation, the District
was able to do strategic planning in the spring of
2013. Board, staff and key partners were involved
in creating a plan to guide the District over the next
decade.
Core Purpose: Nurturing sustainable agriculture
on the Kenai Peninsula
Core Values: locally- driven, wise conservation,
partnerships, and learning
From left to right, Kerry Nelson, Steve Albers, Michelle Martin, Bill
Johnson, Heidi Chay and Judy Queen. District website on the screen.
10 -Year Goal: By 2023, a fully- integrated local food system is in place on the Kenai Peninsula.
5 -Year Goal: By 2018, the number of viable farm businesses has doubled over 2012.
New and Expanded Partnerships
FY13 was notable for the large number of partners involved in District projects. Existing partner-
ships with the Kenai Peninsula Food Bank and the Local Foods Group, part of People Promoting
Wellness through Community Action (PPWCA), expanded in innovative ways this year. New
partners this year include: Alaska Community Foundation, City of Kenai, City of Soldoma, Kenai
and Soldoma Chambers of Commerce, Kenai Peninsula Borough, Kenai Peninsula Foundation,
Best Transit Mix, Gareth and Kevin Byers, Alaska Berries, Back to Nature Chiropractic, Matti's
Farm, Tustumena Elementary School, Sterling Elementary School, and the Scott Paper Company.
Increased Visibility
Community awareness of the District continues to rise as a result of projects such as Schoolyard
Habitats, the annual poster contest, the 2013 Local Food Campaign, and Harvest Moon Local Food
Week. Broad -based partnerships amplified the effect. The District made better use ofFacebook and
its new website. In fact, traffic at the District's website doubled from spring of 2012 to spring of
2013, with a total of 1389 unique visitors during FY13. A number of articles in local newspapers
highlighted District projects and goals:
