SUBJECT: 2014 Personal Use Fishery (Dip Net) Report
The purpose of this correspondence is to transmit for your review and discussion the
above referenced report.
The Personal Use Fishery, which took place July 10, 2014 through July 31, 2014, once
again presented operations and management challenges for the City of Kenai and its
citizens.
Unlike recent personal use fisheries, we did not see a large concentration of fish enter
the river over a several day period. This year the return was spread out over the entire
fishery, with a significant amount of late run sockeye returning to the Kenai River after
the personal use fishery was closed.

This year there were two major operational changes to the City's management plan.
The first was to institute a "no wake" zone on a segment approximately 6,000 lineal feet
in length along the south of the Kenai River. The second was to eliminate beach access
along the section line easement at Old Cannery Road and to increase from one -lane to
two -lane access at Dunes Road.
No Wake Zone on South Bank of the Kenai River
Over the past several years, including during public comments received during the
presentation of this report in 2013, the City has been approached to institute a "no
wake" zone along the Kenai River bank roughly contiguous with VIP Subdivision. The
stated negative impacts to this area, during high tides, were that real property and
riparian habitat werebeing lost to erosion as a result of boat wakes.
The Kenai City Council was supportive of a proposal made to the Alaska Board of
Fisheries (BOF) which was considered at the 2013 Upper Cook Inlet Finfish (UCI)
meeting to institute a "no wake" zone during the personal use fishery. At the 2013 UCI
meeting, the BOF did not adopt a proposal to limit boat wakes during the personal use
fishery.
City personnel discussed instituting a "no wake" zone at length and decided that we
would attempt to limit boat wakes in the area of VIP subdivision during periods of high
tides. Initially high tides were defined as tides greater than 21.5 feet, which during the
fishery was changed to tides greater than 20.5 feet.
Specific actions taken were as follows:
1. Installation and maintenance of three (3) informational buoys with signage
stating "No Wake Zone" and a strobe light which was operating during periods
of high tides.
2. Police Department boat patrols during periods of high tides to inform personal
use fishery participants that a "no wake" zone was in effect and to traverse
upriver nearer the north bank.
The Public Works Department designed, ordered, and installed the three buoys in the
Kenai River. The buoys were directional and utilized multiple mooring lines. This turned
out to not be an effective design as during the transition from low tide to high tide ( +/-
25) mooring lines became tangled causing the buoys to capsize. The Public Works
Department responded to re- setting the buoys many times during the course of the
fishery. It should be noted that the requirement for the buoys to be directional was made
by the City Manager, not the Public Works Department.
Boat patrols accomplished by both Police and Fire Department personnel were highly
effective and after several days of Police presence on the River the majority of personal
use fishery participants were educated and voluntarily complied with the "no wake" zone
requirements.
The City also received a number of communications from residents of the VIP
subdivision stating that the effect of the "no wake" zone was very positive not only as to
the protection of real property and riparian habitat, but a decrease in the noise from boat
engine noise.
The estimated cost for instituting the "no wake" zone in 2014 is $20,000.
It is Administration's intention to continue the "no wake" zone along VIP subdivision as
follows:
Utilizing additional non - directional buoys with a single mooring line, including
signage that prohibits boats from mooring to the buoys.
2. Install signage on the bank further establishing the "no wake" zone.
Institute the south bank "no wake" zone continuously during the entire fishery,
July 10 -31.
It is also Administration's intent to meet with the United States Coast Guard and the
Alaska Department of Public Safety to discuss boat traffic from Warren Ames Bridge to
the mouth of the Kenai River. The purpose of this discussion will be to determine
jurisdiction, and if resources other than those of the City of Kenai can be utilized to
create a safer environment for boat traffic.
Elimination of Beach Access at Old Cannery Road and Creation of Two -Lane
Access at Dunes Road
The elimination of beach access at Old Cannery Road and the creation of enhanced
beach access at Dunes Road was intended to mitigate the negative effects of near
continuous vehicle access near a private residence and other private property. The City
approached the Alaska Department of Natural Resources (ADNR) and requested that a
temporary closure of the section line easement be implemented during the personal use
fishery to mitigate negative impacts to property owners. In order to provide equal or
greater access to the beach the City proposed enhanced access improvements at
Dunes Road. The ADNR approved the City's request.
Maintaining and operating a single access to the beach south of the mouth of the Kenai
River was far more efficient than having two separate access points. Additionally, it was
safer. By eliminating traffic entering and exiting the traffic stream on the beach at Old
Cannery Road, conflicts were eliminated.
Construction of a New Access to the Beach South of the Mouth of the Kenai River
As a component of eliminating conflicts with private property owners and providing
enhanced access for the personal use fishery and other recreational users, the City
approached the Legislature late in the 2013 session and requested $2.3 million to fund
construction of a new access road. The Legislature appropriated $1.9 million for the
project. This access would be constructed to the north of private properties in the area
and eliminate alleged trespass issues across private property by fishery participants and
others attempting to access the south shore at the mouth of the Kenai River.
To date the following has been accomplished:
1. A wetlands determination has been accomplished.
2. Selection of roadway alignment has been accomplished.
3. Design is 95% complete.
4. A Jurisdictional Determination has been requested from the U.S. Corps of
Engineers.
An application for a 404 permit has been transmitted to the U.S. Corps of
Engineers (Exhibit A).
The intent is to construct the new roadway in late spring 2015 to minimize
environmental impacts and so that the roadway is operational for the 2015 Personal
Use Fishery,
2014 Personal Use Fishery Operations
Other than the specific operational changes previously noted there were no new issues.
Rather City personnel continue to seek and implement operational efficiencies in the
management of our operations during the personal use fishery. The following is a list of
some of those efforts:
Fee shack operations. City operations were enhanced through the integration
of communication and data transmission systems. Operations at all fee
shacks were monitored in real time, and data detail was to the individual
transaction. The collection of this data provides information that we can use tc
schedule personnel and to plan for resource distribution both during the
fishery, and for future fisheries.
2. Solid waste and portable toilets. The same distribution of solid waste
collection receptacles and temporary toilet facilities was used in 2014 as in
2013. The cost of solid waste and temporary toilets increased by
approximately $20,000 in 2014, mostly because of the way in which the fish
returned to the River. Where in the past we have seen high usage on two
weekends during the fishery, this year participants stayed longer to catch their
fish and utilized more City support resources.
Proposed changes to the 2015 Fee Structure
Administration recommends the following changes in the fee structure:
Eliminate the annual permit for boat launch and parking. Recent Council
action eliminating fees for all periods of the year except the personal use
fishery eliminate the benefit for an annual permit.
2. Increase the fees at the Municipal Boat Launch.
Presently fees are $25 for launching and parking, and $15 for parking a
vehicle without a boat trailer.
In the FY2016 budget, Administration will recommend that the fee for
launching and parking be increased from $25 per day to $40 per day. A pick-
up truck and trailer take up two parking spaces and utilize the ramps for a
launch and recovery.
In the FY2016 budget, Administration will recommend that the fee for parking
only at the boat launch be increased from $15 to $20 per day. This institutes a
uniform parking fee at all locations. This will allow for the use of a daily
parking pass at any of the fee parking areas. So if someone parks at the boat
launch to dip net from the shore in the morning, they could use that same
pass to access the north shore parking are in the afternoon without incurring
additional fees.
Utilizing the assumption that the number of transactions in 2015 will equal the
number of transactions in 2014, the net effect of these increases is estimated
to be $59,295.
The dock facility is the most labor intense area of operation during the personal use
fishery, and even more so now that the operation of maintenance of a "no wake" zone is
a component of our management strategy. The increase in labor costs at the dock
facility in 2014 and costs associated with the implementation of the "no wake" is
estimated to be $30,000 to $40,000.
Fiscal Year 2015 Estimated Operating Expenditures to Prepare for the 2015 Personal
Use Fishery
Prior to the new budget year (FY2016) the City will incur operational expenditures
estimated at $53,570.00. These expenditures include but are not limited to, materials
and labor for the installation of signs, labor for installation of traffic control devices, labor
for repair of fencing, equipment, material, and labor for the construction of access
ramps on the north and south beaches, other equipment rental, training for temporary
enforcement officers, and printing costs for informational brochures.
More specific information is contained in Exhibit B.
Capital Improvements for the Personal Use Fishery Fund
As the fishery has evolved and the City of Kenai has responded by creating its overall
management plan, a growing component of the plan has been the capital needs to
manage, react, and respond to the needs of the fishery participants.
Exhibit C to this transmittal memo, provides a list of the capital requests from the
Departments actively involved in the Fishery. The Exhibit also identifies those items that
Administration recommends for purchase, and the source of funding to support the
purchase.
Personal Use Fishery Fund Management
Over time, the City has instituted accounting controls so that expenses and revenues
associated with the personal use fishery are identified as discretely separate from other
City operations. In many ways are accounting mirrors the manner in which enterprise
funds capture financial information.
Administration recommends that future budgets provide for a fund balance. There are
two purposes for budgeting a fund balance. The first, is to maintain a reserve for years
when there may be a revenue shortfall (2007), when the Commissioner of Fish & Game,
through emergency order, closed and then re- opened the fishery. That year the City's
expenses exceeded revenues by approximately $100,000. The second, is to maintain a
capital reserve for future capital expenses for equipment and property.
It is Administrations intent to present a proposed FY2016 budget showing a carry -over
fund balance of approximately $40,000 from FY2015 with a projected increase of
$50,000 to fund balance. I would recommend continuing to build fund balance in the
Personal Use Fishery fund reaches $250,000.
Exhibit D provides the FY2015 Personal Use Fishery Fund budget and projections.
Exhibit D includes the estimated expenditures in Exhibit B under "FY2015 Projected."

Date: October 29, 2014
Subject: 2014 Dipnet Summary
Preparation for the 2014 Personal Use Fishery began in April for the Finance Department with
modifications to the computerized cashiering system. The project enhanced the system created in 2013
based upon the experience of the staff during the 2013 fishery and made changes to the fee structure
that were recommended and adopted by Council.
South Beach Consolidation
The largest undertaking this year was the consolidation of the 2 fee shacks on South Beach. With the
temporary closure of the Old Cannery Rd section line easement, all traffic was directed to Dunes Rd.
After a thorough analysis of the data from last year, it was determined that having 2 fee shacks at this
location would be needed to handle the increased volume of traffic. In order to accommodate this, the
location of the shacks was moved about 100 feet from last year's location. The shacks were placed
side by side and additional room was needed for vehicles to merge. This required new wiring between
the shack and the utility pole that provides power and data connections. In addition, the second shack
had to be connected to the City's data network through the first shacks connection.
The second shack was staffed only during peak hours, which we determined from the 2013 data. The
result was a shack which was staffed 9 hours per day in 2014 as compared to 17 hours per day in
2013. With two shacks operating during peak traffic times, vehicles backed -up onto Cannery Rd. only a
few times, despite reducing the hours the second shack was staffed by 8 hours or more per day.
Operating Fee Shacks
The initial schedule was to staff shacks between the hours of 6:OOam and 11:OOpm as in previous
years. A recommendation to staff around the clock on weekends and during our busiest week was also
planned. It became clear at the beginning of the fishery that the self -pay stations, also called iron
rangers, did not work well with the current fee structure. Because we now require that all vehicles,
tents, and ATVs have a permit on them, the fee envelopes with only one receipt didn't work. A decision
was made on July 14`" to staff the shacks around the clock for the remainder of the fishery. The self -
pay stations were then removed from all locations except the little league fields.
By staffing the shacks around the clock, we were able to gather much better data this year. One of the
things we learned is that 16% of all transactions occur between 11:OOpm and 6:OOam. We also
eliminated any lost revenue that had occurred due to fee confusion or nonpayment at the self -pay
stations. Enforcement was also easier, as everyone had the same type of permit, rather than having to
rely on paper receipts from the self -pay stations. The total increase in cost to staff around the clock was
approximately $3,960 (299 hours for shack attendants).
The fee shack on North Beach was struck by vehicles twice this season, and 3 times last season. In
previous seasons this has also happened, including one year when the shack was tipped over. The
shack is wider than needed, and includes an overhang on the roof that drivers have difficulty avoiding.
The roof was torn off last year, and the structure is in need of replacement.
Participants also bypassed the fee shack on north beach frequently. ATVs would come down the right
shoulder and not stop. Other drivers would simply drive by the fee shack and say something like "I'm
just dropping off'. The worst problem was with drivers that would use the left lane and bypass the fee
shack using the exit lane.
Other Improvements
Building on the successes of last year, a number of minor improvements were made to the software
used in the shacks. The ability to lookup information from previous transactions, such as phone
numbers and zip code, made the collection of statistical data easier and faster. The software was
changed to print out multiple receipts as needed to provide for tents and ATVs. Additional data was
collected to track how many people were in each vehicle. A system to allow for upgrades from day use
to overnight parking was added, as was the ability to issue season permits from city hall.
An additional security camera was purchased for Dunes Rd. and access to each of the dipnet cameras
was added to the city website. This allowed for the public to see how much traffic was at each location.
Employees also used this to view the traffic from home or from a smart phone. Additional cameras that
show the traffic on the beach, traffic at the top of Spruce St, the dock parking area, and on Bridge
Access would be nice additions.
The North Beach parking lot was partially striped for enforcement. Police have indicated that it is
difficult to enforce the maximum allowable width of parking areas without clear parking delineation. The
result is participants that park an RV, extend an awning, and take up two parking spots while paying for
one. Striping, or finding and alternative method to delineate parking spots, could increase available
parking at North Beach. A professional survey and assessment may also help increase the usable
parking in this lot.
2014 Revenues
2014 fees remained similar in amount but different in structure to those of 2013 fees. The changes that
were made were to reduce confusion. Parking and camping were combined into overnight parking for
$45. Customers that arrived before noon were charged $55 for overnight parking. Day Use parking
remained unchanged at $20, as did camping without a vehicle at $25. An option to upgrade from a Day
Use permit to Overnight Parking was provided for $35, which would bring the total price of both permits
to $55, the same as if they had arrive before noon and purchased overnight parking.
This year, the refund policy was changed to eliminate the possibility of refunds for any reason. A
distinction was made between a refund, and a fee correction, with the former being a mistake the
customer made, and the latter being a mistake by a City employee.
2014 revenues were $624,728, $53,509 more than the FY15 budget amount and $48,564 less than
2013 revenues. It should be noted that participant revenues increased $92,500 in 2014 and grant
revenue decreased $141,064. Participant revenue increased without an increase in fees but rather with
the elimination of self -pay stations and better enforcement. A comparison of 2014 fishery revenue to
prior years is shown below, it should be noted that the breakdown by site and service for 2013 and
2014 is based upon actual transactions. Prior year transactions by site and service were estimated.
The cashiering system implemented in 2013 provides this level of detail and will enhance future
revenue and fee change projections.

2 types of permits were issued with no collection of a fee this year, a drop -off pass and a 1 hour free
parking pass. There was some confusion about the differences between these permits, a drop -off pass
was supposed to be limited to 15 minutes and was for anyone. The 1 hour free parking was supposed
to be only for people who were not participating in the fishery. During the entire fishery and at all
locations, 2,243 transactions were processed with no fee. These transactions included drop off and 1
hour free parking. Of these 395, or 17.61% were from Kenai Residents. Due to some problems
collecting this data, it is estimated that the total number of no -fee transactions was about 50% of what it
should have been but it is believed that the sample collected accurately reflects the zip code of non -fee
paying participants. Data was also collected on the number of people in each vehicle, the total was
55,205 for an average of 2.48 people per transaction. 3,171 of these people were from Kenai, which is
5.78%
Payment of fees by cash was once again the dominant method at 79 %, which was the same as last
year. Credit cards use increased 3% to 19% at the expense of checks down to 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 $2,824.50 or 2.14% of fees paid by credit
card.
2014 Expenditures
Detailed budget to actual comparisons are provided. It should be noted that additional FY2015
expenditures are anticipated in support of the fishery. Additional expenditures will include hiring and
training of temporary enforcement officers in June of 2015 for the 2015 fishery and other preparatory
work for the 2015 fishery.
Capital expenditures in support of the fishery totaled $93,098 of which $92,043 was paid for by grants
from the State of Alaska. The following capital expenditures were made in support of the fishery:
Meeks Trail Repair $69,842
Purchase Tractor Rake 7,290
Computerized Cashiering 6,732
Permanent Shack Power 9.234
$RUN
2014 Summary and Recommendations
The 2014 fishery was a success for the Finance Department. The change to around the clock staffing
was a tremendous improvement. Data was collected from the majority of participants, and additional
data was also collected. The following recommendations are made in preparation for future fisheries.
1. Replace existing fees shack and install a second fee shack to North Beach and possible
relocation around Little League Fields area.
2. Install additional traffic control on North Beach. This could include removable bollards to
prevent the shack from being damaged, electronic traffic gates to ensure all traffic stops at the
shacks, and cones down middle of Spruce Street to eliminate drivers from using the left lane.
Installation of automatic traffic spikes on the exit road would also prevent traffic through the
wrong lane. This need could be eliminated with relocation of shack location as described in
item #1.
3. Elimination of all self -pay station and staff the fee shacks around the clock for the entire
fishery.
4. Install additional security cameras for both public and employee use.
5. Thoroughly stripe the North Beach parking area before the fishery.
6. The policy of no refund of participant fees should be continued.
7. 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.

Telephone: 907 -283 -7535 / FAX: 907 - 283 -3014
MEMO:
TO: Gus Sandahl, Chief of Police
FROM: Robert J. Frates, Parks & Recreation Director
DATE: August 20, 2014
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't. No
emergency orders were issued extending the fishery and no retention of King Salmon remained
in effect throughout the fishery.
The Department's preparation for this year's Kenai Personal Use Fishery began well in advance
of the July 10th opening with a heightened focus on fee shack operations, parking and camping
compliance, beach maintenance, and preservation and protection of property commonly
impacted by the fishery. Shack operations were streamlined through the use of a Dip Net
Fishery Policy Manual created through the IT Department. Protective measures included
working jointly with both State agencies and residents on the north and south side of the river
leading to greater awareness, additional signage and establishing "No Wake" zones in the river
during certain tide cycles.
Fairly modest crowds materialized almost immediately leading into the first weekend which
coincided with some high tides causing some difficulty for unsuspected participants. The
second and third weekend of the fishery, once again, was extremely popular beginning with a
large wave of participants on Thursday, July 17th. Crowds remained fairly consistent right up to
the end of the fishery. The strength of the Sockeye run appeared to be somewhat steady
although the large waves of fish didn't materialize like many thought would.
WASTE MANAGEMENT
7
Dumpsters
Dumpster services were once again provided on the north and south beaches. A total of six, 4-
yd dumpsters were spaced out along the north beach between the mouth of the Kenai River
and South Spruce Street; six, 4 -yd dumpsters were stationed in the parking lot area and used
for rotational purposes. The south beach included a total of four, 6 -yd dumpsters. Units were
serviced daily. The contractor (Peninsula Pumping, Inc.) reported that on occasion the
dumpsters overflowed, and in several instances, it was the result of large, bulky items being
placed in the dumpster. The contractor often placed these items off to the side until the next
day's servicing, and thus, allowing more room for continued use.
A concerted effort was made throughout the evening hours picking up litter and debris,
including both the north and south beaches. This task was tied to the raking activity and went a
long ways keeping the beaches clean and more presentable.
One retail store in particular appeared to allow overnight parking in their parking lot. The store
is located near one of our local parks and it was often that our dumpster would over flow with
waste generated from those using their parking lot.
Restrooms
A total of fifteen restrooms were provided on the north beach. This included eight at the end
of Kenai Avenue (four units added July 17th), two at end of South Spruce Street and five at the
Kenai Little League parking lot. These were in addition to the permanent restrooms provided at
the end of Kenai Avenue and end of Spruce Street. Use of the portable units were extensive
causing extra servicing on twelve of the days with the heaviest of use on July 17th -19th. The
south beach included twelve portables with ten servicing the beach and two at the Dunes Road
parking lot (a second was added July 12th to accommodate public use).
The permanent restrooms were serviced several times daily by the Parks crew, including the
dock restrooms. A great degree of effort was put into keeping the City's restrooms clean
throughout the fishery, including servicing throughout the evening hours. One call was
received by the office regarding the uncleanliness of the permanent restrooms located at the
end of Kenai Avenue.
Fish Waste
The north and south beaches were raked daily throughout the evening hours. This coupled
with advisory signs assisted in keeping the beach areas cleaner than in year's past. The two
staff members (Beach Aides) assigned to patrolling the beaches did a good job reinforcing
proper disposal procedures. The mere presence of the Beach Aides patrolling areas coupled
with Temporary Enforcement Officers served as an additional deterrent. Brochures containing
pertinent water quality information were also distributed at the shacks.
The two staff members responsible for raking the beaches did an outstanding job and were
extremely dedicated to the cause. The beach areas remained mostly void from fish waste
throughout the fishery with the exception of July 17th -20th when catch rates appeared to be
much higher. This had less to do with compliance issues and more to do with higher tides and
strong winds. There were some electrical difficulties experienced with the Kubota tractor
8
assigned to the south beach causing raking to not be accomplished for two days. Coupled with
the fact that this particular tractor is occasionally needed for other use prompts me to suggest
we look at purchasing another tractor with a hydraulic rake similar to the one used on the north
beach. I'd also suggest we look into setting up a small wash -down station on the south side
next season allowing staff to clean off equipment.
Enforcement
The two park employees assigned to the beaches this year provided not only a helpful presence
but were engaging with the public and spent a lot of time conversing with participants and
attempting to achieve camping and parking compliance. Additionally, these two individuals in
many ways served as an ambassador to the City and are a great resource for participants
searching for lost items or needing helpful information. Not only do they monitor for
compliance but occasionally assist with traffic and litter control, cleaning restrooms, dune
patrol, and performing repairs to temporary fencing.
Fee Shack Operations
Perhaps the most significant change in operations, other than the fee structure, was the staff
scheduling and elimination of beach access from Old Cannery Road. The shacks operated
mostly on a 24 -hour bases which allowed us to more easily capture fees during non - fishery
hours between 11:00 PM and 5:59 AM. Additionally, two fee shacks were placed at Dunes
Road to accommodate the extra traffic that was expected to unfold as a result of closing Old
Cannery Road. The two shacks proved to be sufficient enough to eliminate unnecessary traffic
delays.
The City's IT System Manager Dan Castimore, in coordination with Finance Director Terry
Eubank, were instrumental in putting the necessary policy, procedures and controls in place.
Logistical support for the computerized cashiering system was provided in a timely manner and
any issues or concerns were dealt with efficiently. The oversight of staffing and system support
provided through Mr. Castimore was greatly appreciated and went a long ways toward
minimizing issues.
Consideration should be given to upgrading the shacks in the future in order to increase staff
comfort, efficiency and safety.
Miscellaneous
The Parks Department added temporary fencing at the end of South Forrest Drive extending
from the stairs to the beach. This was done in order to further protect vegetation.
Additional "Stay off the Bluff' signs were erected along the north beach leading past the sewer
treatment plant.
Municipal Park was once again closed to vehicular traffic throughout the fishery. During this
time, the department had two shelter reservations; use of this area was coordinated through
our office.
9
Shoreline access from the bird viewing platform was once again prohibited. This is in attempt
to protect tideland vegetation in this area.
"Half -hour Parking" signs were erected at the Eric Hansen Scout Park
Water mains and electric located at the Kenai Little League complex were shut off to prevent
use of water, cleaning of fish, and powering RV's.
Overflow parking at the adult softball field complex was minimal. Parking at the Little League
complex, however, was used heavily as expected. Property owners across from the Little
League complex allowed parking and overnight camping for a fee. This service provided some
relief from further congestion on the north beach but did create more ATV use than year's past.
Additional staffing at times was necessary for traffic control purposes.
Recommendations for 2015
1. Shack upgrades and eliminate use of iron rangers (self -pay stations).
2. Wash down station on south side (estimated cost: $5,000).
3. Tractor w/ 12' hydraulic rake system (estimated cost: $55,000).
4. Install fence & chain on north and south beach (approximately 6,000 lineal feet).

DATE: 08/20/14
SUBJECT: 2014 Dipnet Report
The 2014 Dipnet fishery opened on July 10 and ended on July 31. The legal hours of dipnetting
were from 6am to 11pm throughout the fishery (no 24 hour extensions). In 2014, the City
employed six temporary enforcement officers (TEOs) dedicated to Police dipnet operations. In
addition to TEOs, most Kenai police officers participated in dipnet operations. Significant 2014
Police dipnet information is as follows:
Police handled 150 dipnet- related calls for service during the month of July. Those calls
for service included: 29 parking problems, 27 911 misdials,14 lost /found property, 8
traffic congestion, 5 concerns for stuck /stranded vehicles, 5 lost /missing children, 5 boat
crashes /mishaps, 4 motor vehicle crashes, 4 vehicle unlocks, 4 camping in prohibited
area, 4 vehicle in prohibited area, 4 criminal mischief, 3 harassment, 3 refuse to pay
shack, 2 thefts, 2 DUls, 2 child welfare concern, 2 fire in prohibited area, 2 concern for
disabled boat, l challenge to fight, 1 drunk and disorderly, l intoxicated person, 1
missing person, and other miscellaneous calls.
The 5 boat mishaps varied in severity (3 minor collisions, one significant crash sending
occupants into the river, one significant overturn sending occupants into the river).
TEOs wrote 132 dipnet related citations (all of them for parking violations). There were
no violations observed for the improper disposal of fish waste. The two Parks beach
roamers did a good job of issuing warnings and communicating with TEOs about parking
and camping related issues. This gave TEOs time to focus on traffic control and other
dipnet related issues. In contrast to the 2013 dipnet season, TEOs were authorized to
leave parking citations on vehicles for 2014.
- This was the first year that officers performed "No Wake" zone patrols with KFD on high
tides 20.5 ft. or higher (in an effort to reduce wake erosion on the south side of the river
along V.I.P. subdivision). Officers and TEOs took turns riding with KFD boat captains in
the rigid inflatable boat borrowed from CES. Officers were able to gain voluntary
compliance with boaters via a combination of patrols and No Wake zone sign floats.
Alaska Wildlife Troopers had a sustained presence at Kenai dipnet locations throughout
the fishery. Their dedicated staffing to the personal use fishery is again greatly
appreciated.
The City placed advisory "extreme high tide" message boards at both beach entrances
from July 11 to July 15. The City did not close the beaches during these high tides.
The City prohibited parking on City streets throughout old town, and we received strong
compliance with this change.
Salmon Frenzy volunteers once again assisted in relieving congestion on Kenai Ave. and
at the City Dock through traffic control efforts during the weekends.
Police personnel did not feel the strain of a peak weekend this year, likely due to lower
sockeye returns. The greatest amount of congestion was felt on the early mornings
(early in the fishery) on Bridge Access Rd. Once Boat Launch Road is saturated with
vehicles, boaters naturally stage /park on the southbound shoulder of BAR. This
shoulder is not wide enough for all types of boats /trailers, and it is recommended that
the southbound shoulder is widened from Boat Launch Rd. north to the CINGSA
driveway in order to safely accommodate the staging of pickups and trailers.
The second most significant area of congestion was on the South Beach in the area
between Dunes Road and Old Cannery Rd (outside the City limits). An oceanfront
property owner installed fencing on the upper portion of the beach that blocked traffic
on either side during the early dipnet fishery high tides. This resulted in bottleneck
congestion on Dunes Road at the beach entrance, and resulted in a traffic standstill for
vehicles trying to exit the beach from the mouth. If the planned future access road is
completed it will bypass this property, making this a non -issue for future years.
This was the third 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. Old Cannery Rd.
beach access was blocked, leaving Dunes Rd. as the only City maintained south beach
access.
This was the first year that Pillars boat launch experienced overflow parking of
vehicles /trailers into Pillars Subdivision. The congestion of vehicles parking on both
sides of Chinook Dr. prevented adequate traffic flow. The City placed temporary no
12
parking signs to alleviate this problem. Eagle Rock (now a State Parks boat launch) also
received complaints of trucks /trailers parking on both sides of the road in the
subdivision. The City placed no parking signs to alleviate this congestion as well.
Boaters responded by parking vehicles in the Spur right of way on the north side of the
highway.
The TEOs primarily utilized three different police vehicles (1 pickup, l Expedition, 1 sedan). On
the beaches they utilized two 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 2015.
As with every year, officers and TEOs worked extended and /or extra shifts during peak weeks.
On -duty officers make dipnet locations their primary patrol areas. Four of the TEOs were
returning veterans with the Police Department, and overall, the six TEOs 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 2014 dipnet
experiences, and will continue to work with all involved City Departments to enhance City
dipnet operations for 2015.

MEMO:
TO: Gus Sandahl
FROM: Sean Wedemeyer
DATE: August 20, 2014
SUBJECT: Public Works Dipnet Report
The 2014 dipnet season was challenging yet very successful for the Public Works Department.
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.
• Install and maintain no -wake signs on the Kenai River.
Our most challenging job this year was a new project; implement a no -wake zone. The Streets
department was tasked with deploying and maintaining the no -wake floating signs and
beacons. The floating directional signs were difficult to anchor and keep upright in the windy,
tidal influenced, heavily trafficked Kenai River. While the no wake zone was deemed a success,
the floating signs required a significant amount of time, including overtime hours to respond
when they overturned or were displaced. If the no wake zone is envisioned to be permanent,
we propose to investigate placing the signs and beacons on land, and a series of non -
directional, easily anchored, no wake buoys be deployed in the future. The task of building,
transporting, deploying, retrieving and maintaining these signs was unforeseen during the
budgeting process, and resulted in a salaries budget overrun.
14
This year we increased the temporary dock staff from 2 to 5 to free up the Streets personnel to
focus on tasks that require their operator skills, e.g. grading and ditching roads. We also staffed
the boating facility with Streets operators at the onset of the fishery to train the temporary
staff, and during peak usage. As a result the operators' time spent at the facility was
significantly reduced from past years, with the exception of the no wake zone project. Based
on the high number of compliments and low number of complaints, the management of the
boating facility was better than ever.
The Building Maintenance and Streets departments assisted the Water department to
disconnect the boating facility from the well and install a seasonal service line that provides
treated water from the City's water system. This resulted in cleaner water in the restrooms and
at the commercial dock. The restroom fixtures require less cleaning, and we are in the process
of reclassifying the well so we will not be required by ADEC to perform testing and sanitary
surveys, resulting in a significant operating cost savings.
The Wastewater Treatment Plant was used to store and wash down equipment utilized during
the fishery behind a locked gate.
The Shop department responded promptly to a number of calls to fix dipnet related equipment.
My Administrative Assistant performs numerous tasks, and answers dozens of calls related to
the fishery.
We will request funds be allocated to replace the boating facility's skiffs motor. Twice this year
the existing motor failed to operate despite performing both preventative maintenance
annually and a pre- season tune up. We will also investigate alternatives to the floating no wake
signs, preferably installing them on land. The most challenging and limiting factor at the
boating facility is the inability to launch or retrieve vessels at certain low tides. A capital project
to extend the concrete ramp planks and floating dock could mitigate this inconvenience.
This year we received far more compliments than complaints. We strive to improve every year.
It was a very successful July for the Public Works Department, thanks to the good work and
dedication of my personnel.

Emergency Services for the use of a 21' Twin motored Rigid Hull Inflatable boat, which was
used for this detail. In order for our personnel to operate this boat we conducted a training
16
workshop with Alaska Rescue for the functions and operations of this boat. The price of the boat
operator course was $880.00. We also incurred 32 hours of OT for this class to prepare for this
season.
Total OT for off duty personnel to operate the boat during No Wake Patrol was 28.5 hours.

Attention: Michael Settering
Subject: South Beach Access Road Project; Request for Jurisdictional Determination and
Department of the Army Permit Application
Dear Mr. Settering
The City of Kenai, with engineering assistance from Nelson Engineering and permitting assistance from
Solstice Alaska Consulting, Inc. (Solstice), proposes to construct a new road between Sea Catch Drive
and the Cook Inlet Beach in Kenai, Alaska (Seward Meridian, Township 05 North, Range 11 West, Section
7; USGS Kenai C4, Figure 1). The project would provide access to South Beach, primarily for people using
dip nets at the mouth of the Kenai River.
Enclosed is the preliminary wetlands determination (PJD) for the proposed project. The PJD, prepared by
ABR, Inc. — Environmental Research & Services (ABR) describes wetlands identified during an on -site
delineation performed August 27, 2014. The delineation was conducted within approximately 21 acres.
Based on the PJD, approximately 16.80 acres of the project area contains wetlands. These wetlands and
waterways are considered jurisdictional because they either abut tributary streams of Cook Inlet or have
either groundwater or biological connections to Cook Inlet, which is considered Traditional Navigable
Water.
Based on the information presented in the determination, it is Solstice and ABR's opinion that all
wetlands affected by the project are under jurisdiction of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. With this
letter, we are requesting a jurisdictional determination.
Also enclosed is the permit application for the road project. Details on the road project are included as
an attachment and in figures. The project will be sent out to contractors bid on in November 2014, and
the City plans to construct the project this winter.
If you have questions or need additional information please feel free to contact me at 907.929.5960 or
by email at robin @soisticeak.com.
Sincerely,
Solstice Alaska Consulting, Inc.

City of Kenai
South Beach Access Road
Project Description
November 2014
The City of Kenai, with funding from the State of Alaska, proposes to construct a new road between Sea
Catch Drive and the Cook Inlet Beach in Kenai, Alaska (Seward Meridian, Township 05 North, Range 11
West, Section 7; USGS Kenai C4, Figure 1).
Purpose and Need
The purpose of this project is to construct a road to provide access to the beach south of the mouth of
the Kenai River (referred to as South Beach) for people who fish for sockeye salmon using dipnets
( "dipnetters "). Each year in late June through July, up to 15,000 dipnetters access fishing areas south of
the mouth of the river via Dunes Road. The dipnetters then drive along the beach approximately 2 miles
north to the mouth of the Kenai River. The current access is along residential roads, and the traffic is
unsafe for residents in the area. In addition, driving along the beach for 2 miles is not efficient and
impacts residents along the beach. A new road is needed to provide safer and more efficient access for
Kenai River dipnetters.
Project Alternatives
The City of Kenai explored many road alternatives. See Figure 2 for alternative locations.
No Action Alternative. The City considered not constructing a new road to South Beach; however, this
alternative was not acceptable to the public and did not meet the purpose and need for the project.
Alternative A. A road alternative route running directly west from Sea Catch Road to South Beach
completely on City land was considered. This alternative followed the property line. This alignment was
dismissed because City was interested in staying as close to their southern property boundary as
possible to avoid bisecting their land and the wetland complex.
Alternative B. A road alternative that ran between Sea Catch Road and South Beach along the top of
the ridge was considered. This alternative would have avoided impacts to wetlands by staying just south
of a large wetland complex. The last 600 feet of this alternative crossed private land. This alternative
was dismissed from further consideration after unsuccessful land negotiations between the City and the
private landowner; the landowner was not interested in granting right -of -way or selling their land for
the road.
Other alternatives, which stayed farther south but crossed private land were discussed with the
landowner; however, all negotiations were unsuccessful.
Alternative C (Preferred). A road alignment that stayed close to the City's southern property line is
proposed for construction. This alternative keeps the road as far out of the wetlands as possible, while
staying on City -owned land.

Preferred Alternative Details
Road Upgrades
Approximately 1,500 linear feet (0.28 miles) of new road would be constructed between Sea Catch Drive
the Cook Inlet coastline about 1.11 miles south of the mouth of the Kenai River. The road would be 26
feet wide at the top and 44 feet at the base and would provide two 13 -foot lanes. The road would be
typically underlain by 4 inches of leveling course, 8 inches of type IIA classified fill, 24 inches of type IIA
classified fill, and geotextile. Typical side slopes of the road would be 3:1. Electric lines would run
through the base of the road fill.
The road would be constructed within a wetland. To ensure water connectivity on either sides of the
road, nineteen 16 -inch diameter culverts would be installed. Culverts would be installed every 100 feet
throughout most of the road alignment, except culverts would be installed every 50 feet in an area that
appears to be a natural drainage area.
Schedule
Construction activities would last approximately 30 days and would occur February through April of
2015. Vegetative clearing, excavation, and placement of fill on or over functional bird habitat would not
be done between May 1 and July 15, except at sites which have been sufficiently disturbed or altered
(e.g., with fill, plastic or other materials that would cover nesting habitat).'
Potential Impacts to Wetlands
A wetland permit would be required for filling approximately 1.57 acres of wetlands, which are under
the jurisdiction of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. An individual wetlands permit would be needed.
The City of Kenai explored an alternative (Alternative B) that avoided wetlands impacts; however, these
options were not feasible. Please see discussion of alternatives above. To minimize impacts to wetlands
that must be filled in order to construct this project, the following measures would be implemented:
• Winter construction would occur to reduce impacts to the area around the road footprint.
• Construction limits would be staked and clearly demarcated.
• Natural vegetation would be retained wherever possible.
• Culverts would be placed where necessary to preserve existing flow patterns to the maximum
extent practicable.
• Wetland water quality would be protected during construction through best management practices,
including:
• Temporary and permanent stabilization measures would be initiated as soon as practicable by
the contractor, but within at least 14 days on all portions of the site where construction
activities have temporarily or permanently ceased. Stabilization measures in the winter include
slope tracking and mulch.
• Sediment prevention measures (i.e. silt fence or other means) would be placed and
maintained. These devices would remain in place until fill and other exposed earthwork
attributable to the project are stabilized and revegetated in the spring.

South Beach Access Road
Project Description
October 2014
Page 3
To mitigate unavoidable impacts to wetlands as a result of the proposed action, the City of Kenai is
proposing to install 2,600 lineal feet of fencing parallel to the beach. The City has previously installed
2,700 feet of fencing in this area to keep vehicle and pedestrian traffic off the shoreline dunes. The
additional fencing will protect over a mile of dune and adjacent wetlands from vehicular traffic by
providing an uninterrupted barrier along the beach from the entry point at the west end of the
proposed South Beach Access Road north to the mouth of the Kenai River.
In addition, the City proposes to permanently preserve 3.20 acres of land north of the proposed South
Beach Access Road. A conservation easement would be placed on this City -owned land in perpetuity.
This compensatory mitigation proposal ratio (2:1) is justified because it is in addition to the beach bluff
fencing.

Subject: Dipnet ting
The city of kenai
No different than a commercial fisherman
Meaning the take ing of salmon for profit Mean you too the city needs to buy a permit To
take profits from salmon.
You the city needs to pay the inhansment tax 2percent of the gross of your catch.
With the native share taken,
One couple on face book took 116fish
The dipnet fishery taking 3.5million fish.
The sport boat with 5 prosy cards
And fishing daily
Taking sometime 200 fish per boat
The sport guide boat
