DATE: November 1, 1999

SUBJECT: FY 00 Alaska Coastal Management Program 309 Kenai River Access Inventory and Management Plan

Attached is the two-year Alaska Coastal Management Program Grant Agreement, Section 309 Kenai River Access Inventory and Management Plan. The Assembly accepted and appropriated $55,000 FY 99 grant funds by Ordinance 98-22.

Ordinance 99-69 accepts and appropriates the second year grant funding. The project will be coordinated through the Planning Director and the Kenai River Center. The final goal of the study is to develop an access management plan that can be used by the Borough and other State and Federal agencies that are routinely involved in access management decisions.

The Borough, Kenai National Wildlife Refuge, Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Alaska Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation, and the Chugach National Forest have committed in-kind services for completion of the two-year study.
