Paul Van Dyke brought completed copies tonight. Paul Van Dyke stated the project area we were working on is the Pillar Mountain to Bells Flats so the Russian Ridge is the first one we did then the Jack & Lee Lakes area, then these to connect the two so this is the Pillar Mountain to Womens Bay. This is the one with all your comments. Saltonstall said what we've done in the past is we'll approve these and present them at our next trail summit to hopefully get more input along with input on the next trail areas. We will say that we are seeking input on the Saltery Cove/Portage area and start working on those, but we'll also come up with an overall statement about what we thought of this whole area, and pick what the best project is in that area. We may be Page 1 of 4 Parks and Recreation Committee Minutes 11/22/2015 able to put in for a grant for some projects. We'll give the public one more chance for input on it. Discussion of the trails, 17b easements, land ownership, TMO's, and the condition of the Saltery Trail. The committee relayed an addition to the comments of A18 for Van Dyke to add to TMO's. COMMITTEE MEMBER LEIST MOVED to approve the TMO's as amended. VOICE VOTE ON MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY B) K.I.S.A. Range and Monashka Bandit Range - Placeholder CHAIR SALTONSTALL said he talked to a State Trooper who said there is a new bandit range 200 yards further down the road on the same side of the road. There is more garbage and they are starting to shoot the trees down in a new place. The Trooper said if there was an ordinance he couldn't write them a ticket but he could ask them what they are doing but there's not much he can do about it right now. Maker stated that the Borough Resource Officer, Duane Dvorak, is working on better signage than we have had in the past. If you want to come up with recommendations for the park Maker will put it in memo form and forward to, if appropriate, the P&Z and on to the Assembly. Maker included in the packet the tri-fold brochure on shooting that Neil Horn did up. Staff can bring a bunch for the committee to disperse where they see fit. Discussion of shooting, garbage, parks, and full-page ads in the newspaper. Also discussed was doing a cleanup of the area May 15' during Spring Clean Up, PSA's, Maker stated this committee does not do resolutions so he will send COMMITTEE MEMBER LEIST the memo form for her to do the wording and Maker will edit it. COMMITTEE MEMBER LEIST MOVED TO AMEND the motion (previously adopted at the October 27th meeting) to make a recommendation for the assembly to consider cleaning up the bandit range at Monashka Bay, to potentially put up signage and do PSA's, and potentially an educational brochure about safe shooting and optional preferred shooting locations.
