Kodiak Island Borough Conference Room
A meeting was called and advertised in the Kodiak Daily Newspaper
and we met on February 27, 2013 at 2 pm. Present were members Al
Burch, Marian Johnson, with Borough employee Robert Tucker and
Bill Burch, Al's son. The board has advertised for an additional
member but no one has been forthcoming.
The tide gate worked well over the past year with members and staff
keeping watch. The duck fence was not used. We thank staff for
maintaining the gate.
The 2013 budget for the tide gate operation was discussed by Al Burch
with Karl Short, MB finance, and it was decided to reduce the funding
amount by Vi mill.
With the present members aging and tide gate file complete from before
earthquake 1964 to present with photos. Mr. Tucker suggested the
notebook be brought in for recording by his staff in a month.
It was noted Shahafka beach was busy most of the year with public
enjoying the sandy beach, picking up the peat and driftwood, and it has
become a favorite spot for birders and others seeking a glimpse of the
sea with parking.
