MEMORANDUM  05-28

 

TO:                  MAYOR HORNADAY AND HOMER CITY COUNCIL

 

THRU: WALT WREDE, CITY MANAGER

 

FROM:            PORT AND HARBOR ADVISORY COMMISSION, PORT AND HARBOR                                           DIRECTOR

 

DATE:                        JANUARY 31, 2005

 

SUBJECT:     TWENTY YEAR DREDGE MATERIALS MANAGEMENT PLAN

 

At its January 26, 2005 Regular Meeting the Port and Harbor Advisory Commission discussed the six alternatives for dredge materials management as presented by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

 

A motion was made, seconded and approved as follows:

 

The Port and Harbor Advisory Commission recommends to the Homer City Council that it accept the Corps of Engineers Base Plan for Twenty Year Dredge Materials Management and to direct the City Manager to execute the appropriate documents.

 

The Port and Harbor Advisory Commission identified the following issues of concern regarding the Base Plan that need clarification and review by staff prior to Final Agreement and construction:

 

                      The need for location and design of security fencing

                      The cost and responsibility for relocating a portion of log truck bypass road

                      The incorporation of a truck loading access ramp into the berm design

                      The exact location of the pipeline as it transits the harbor basin; specifically,                           would its location effect overslope development, bank erosion, harbor operations                              at the commercial barge ramp or other locations

                      The exact location of the west side effluent diffuser in relationship to MHW.

 

RECOMMENDATION:

 

That the City Council accept the Base Plan and direct staff to clarify points outlined above prior to Final Agreement and construction.
