City council members last week decided how much people will pay to use and rent the Soldotna Field House. The votes came after a work session with city parks and recreation staff, who presented some of their nuts-and-bolts proposals for the 42,000-square-foot field house.

The Kenai Peninsula’s largest energy cooperative wants to try and save a Nikiski solar farm that stalled earlier this year. Homer Electric Association’s Board of Directors gave its CEO permission to help finance the project during a meeting earlier this week. “If we’re successful, HEA will own it, they’ll develop it, they’ll manage it, and our members will benefit from it,” said Board President Dan Furlong. He says the cooperative hasn’t actually bought anything – yet. But, they want to.
