The Campground Association of Management Professionals (CAMP) held a Zoom meeting to review information from the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA) on Grounding Monitoring Interrupters (GMIs), which will be installed in RVs manufactured from 2027 onward. The meeting aimed to help campground owners and operators understand the technology and prepare for its implications. Electrical Works introduced a program to provide assessments for member campgrounds, including on-site visits and estimates. According to Tristan Ciceri, Vice President of Electrical Works, GMIs will not create problems but will reveal existing grounding issues, and parks with underlying electrical problems are better off finding them now.

Joseph and Isabel Vesely of Anchorage asked the Kenai Peninsula Borough Planning Commission on Monday, Sept. 14, to vacate Keyros Avenue, a 60-foot-wide platted right-of-way between two properties they own near Cohoe Beach Road. The owners intend to combine Tracts B2 and B3 into a unified campground and add campsites. In their application, the Veselys argued that eliminating Keyros Avenue would not cut off public access, pointing to an existing trail system and saying ATV, pedestrian, and equestrian traffic could continue reaching the state land by a route that avoids campground operations. Borough planning staff, however, determined that the alternative described in the application did not itself meet requirements for equal or superior access because replacement access must be established on land controlled by the applicants. Staff instead recommended a new 60-foot right-of-way on the plat.
