Memorandum 16-086
TO: MAYOR BETH WYTHE & HOMER CITY COUNCIL
CC: KATIE KOESTER, CITY MANAGER
FROM: BRYAN HAWKINS, PORT DIRECTOR/HARBORMASTER
DATE: MAY 17, 2016
SUBJECT: NICK DUDIAK FISHING LAGOON CLEANING TABLE IMPROVEMENTS
The City of Homer owns and maintains three fish cleaning stations at the harbor, one of which is located and the Nick Dudiak Fishing Lagoon. The other stations located at Ramps 4 and 6 are roofed over and screened facilities. This improvement was made as a way to restrict the birds from accessing the fish scraps that attract them to the tables, and then leaving unsanitary deposits on the fish cleaning tables. The fish cleaning table at the fishing lagoon is not covered, attracting birds to the area where the fry are being penned. Not only is this table unscreened and exposed to the unsanitary bird droppings, but it also raises the level of predation on the fry.
Attached is a cooperative agreement between ADF&G and the City of Homer, who are contributing $60,000.00 for the purpose of making improvements to the fish cleaning table at the Nick Dudiak Fishing Lagoon facility. Port and Harbor staff will be working with a local contractor to design and construct an enclosure around the fish cleaning tables and carcass trailer, increase the cleaning table capacity, and potentially re-work the slab drainage away from the lagoon. Our plan is to begin the design work promptly after September 5, 2016, Labor Day, with a goal of project completion by October 15, 2016.
Recommendation:
Approve the agreement in Resolution 16-059 authorizing the City Manager to sign Cooperative Agreement #CT160001777 with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game accepting $60,000.00 in funding for the purpose of renovating the fish cleaning table at the Nick Dudiak Fishing Lagoon facility.
