Memorandum 18-073

TO:                            Katie Koester, City Manager

FROM:                     Carey Meyer, Public Works Director/Bryan Hawkins, Harbormaster

DATE:                       June 5, 2018

SUBJECT:              Nick Dudiak Fishing Lagoon HC Ramp Improvements ADF&G Memorandum of Agreement

The Alaska Department of Fish and Game has proposed to provide funding of improvements to the Nick Dudiak Fishing Lagoon Handicap Ramp in the amount of $45,000. Fish and Game, Harbor and Public Works personnel have developed a plan make improvements to the ramp as shown on the attached drawing. Public Works has prepared a cost estimate for the work.

The Alaska Department of Fish and Game has reviewed the plan/cost estimate and proposes to enter into a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the City to transfer funding and allow the City to complete the project. No additional City funds are required, force account labor by Public Works and Harbor personnel will serve as a match.

Recommendation: The Council pass a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute the Memorandum of Agreement between the City and the Alaska Department of Fish and Game for the proposed Nick Dudiak Fishing Lagoon HC Ramp Improvements. An Ordinance will be presented to the Council at the next Council meeting that would authorize the expenditure of the MOA funds.
