Kenai City Council postponed approving its revised Comprehensive Plan at a Wednesday council meeting so the city could hold another public work session on the plan.

The work session will begin at 6 p.m., March 29, in the council chambers.

“I’m not expecting us to renew what was done,” said Council Member Terry Bookey, who put forward the motion to hold the work session. He proposed holding another work session because the many public hearings the city held did not allow for the back-and-forth dialogue necessary to refine the plan, he said.

Bruce Willard tries to keep about 80 to 100 head of cattle on his farm in the Fox River drainage on the Kenai Peninsula, but over the past four years brown bear have killed nearly 40 cows and twice as many calves.

“And I’m not the only one that’s lost cattle,” said Willard, of Homer.

During three days of public testimony at the Alaska Board of Game meeting in Kenai, other area residents said the Peninsula brown bear population is a problem.

Nikiski High School graduate, J.R. Cox, is currently producing a short film in Hollywood, Calif.

“I am living my dream in the best sense,” Cox said.

Cox’s film, “Thursday the 12th,” stars his former classmate Joshua Ball and brings a Alaskan humor to Hollywood, Cox said.

“Alaska just has this great sense of being the last frontier,” he said.

Cox, 25, grew up in Nikiski so he takes for granted many of the unique Alaskan qualities and characters his movie portrays — but Hollywood does not, he said.

Poor moose habitat in Game Management Unit 15A is responsible for the area’s diminished moose population — and it is not likely to improve anytime soon, a Kenai National Wildlife Refuge official said.

In a moose census of units 15A and 15C, Alaska Department of Fish and Game biologists noted a slight decline in 15A moose populations, according to the census data released last week.
