WHEREAS, The Kachemak Nordic Ski Club (KNSC) is a non-profit corporation which has been constructing, maintaining, and operating nordic ski trails on public and private lands for many years; and

WHEREAS, KNSC maintains a network of trails on public and private lands in the Diamond Creek Watershed known as the Baycrest Ski Trails; and

WHEREAS, The City and KNSC entered into their first MOA regarding these trails in the winter of 2008 and that agreement has expired; and

WHEREAS, An MOA between the City and KNSC is in the best interest of the public because it promotes public-private partnerships, saves tax dollars, enhances recreational and economic development opportunities, and provides access to public lands for the use and enjoyment of all.
