TO: Mayor Hornaday and Homer City Council

FROM: Port and Harbor Advisory Commission

DATE: June 30, 2006

RE: Fish Dock Area Rest Room

Background

The Port and Harbor Advisory Commission discussed construction of a public rest room in the Fish Dock area as Item C, under New Business at its May 24, 2006 meeting and again as Item A, under Pending Business at its June 28, 2006.

After receiving input from Port and Harbor staff, Public Works Director Carey Meyer, Homer City Council member Val McLay and others, the Commission passed the following motion:

VELSKO/ULMER – MOVED TO MOVE FORWARD THE ORIGINAL RESTROOM PROPOSAL AT THE WOOD GRID FUEL DOCK AREA BACK TO CITY COUNCIL WITH THE COMMISSION’S RECOMMENDATION TO PROCEED WITH RFP.

Motion carried.

The Commission further recommended that Port and Harbor staff contract for a portable toilet to be placed in the Fish Dock area and that rest room only access cards be made available to Fish Dock area workers upon request at a nominal fee. Both these interim measures are being implemented.

Recommendation

Please consider the advice provided by the Port and Harbor Commission to proceed with a Request for Proposal to construct a plumbed public rest room in the area of the fuel float/wood grid and Coal Point Park.
