VOICE VOTE ON MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY AUDIENCE COMMENTS AND APPEARANCE REQUESTS None OLD BUSINESS A) Monashka Bandit Range — Clean Up And Closure Quass stated he's waiting for DOT to give permission to put a do not shoot sign in the right-of-way. DOT did say they would consider putting in a drainage ditch so people can't pull off there. Brief discussion of having the Boy Scouts do another cleanup after the ditch is put in and the sign is posted, and the shooting range. B) Termination Point — Great Land Trust Update To Assembly On August 25, 2016 Quass said in your packet there was a presentation on the August 25`h update to the Assembly as far as what's going on. There's some colorful brochures they put out and he read the brochure to the committee. Quass stated you would have to talk to Duane Parks and Recreation Minutes Page 1 of 4 October 25, 2016 Dvorak for details. Brief discussion C) Saltery Trail Improvements — Pictures Of Areas That Need Work Quass said we did an exploration and there's a little note here from COMMITTEE MEMBER MILLSTEIN. COMMITTEE MEMBER MILLSTEIN and his wife, STRATTON, Jane] Day, Sheila Smith, and Quass went in to Saltery. COMMITTEE MEMBER STRATTON has more recent pictures and there is even more damage from the most recent rains. COMMITTEE MEMBER STRATTON passed around his phone to allow everyone to see his pictures. He said there isn't a road anymore and some of the potholes are five feet deep. In response to CHAIR SALTONSTALL'S inquiry of what is happening with the designation as a trail, Quass said we're still waiting, that's in the process they had sent out, they had to go through the process of sending out notice to everybody saying does anybody have a problem with this. That takes thirty days and after that it's a thirty day appeal process. November 7'h will start the appeal process if there's anything in there. Andy Schroeder, the contractor, seems to think that if the weather stays then he'll be able to get in there and do some of the stuff that we need him to do. The problem is that the CIAP Grant ends December 31, 2016 no matter what. Most of the money was spent on doerblock. CHAIR SALTONSTALL stated they asked him if any archeological sites would be damaged but it was the Corp of Engineers that contacted him. Brief discussion on the condition of the trail. Janel Day showed the pictures on the screen. D) Killarney Hills — KIB Assembly Actions CHAIR SALTONSTALL said he was disappointed that we didn't have the last meeting because we didn't have the chance to comment. EX -OFFICIO SCHMITT said it was postponed until the February P&Z meeting to give people the opportunity to comment and he gave an update. SCHMITT encouraged the committee to express their views of what is happening. Committee discussion. Discussion of the committee putting together a resolution to the Assembly. (The KIB Parks and Recreation Committee does not make resolutions, they make recommendations to the Assembly and Planning and Zoning Commission). Discussion of what to include in a motion, and what the Assembly wants. EX -OFFICIO GRONN stated before the next meeting he can work on drafting a resolution with all the whereas clauses. COMMITTEE MEMBER PAULSON MOVED that we encourage the Borough Assembly to re -instate the planning process for Tract R-2. VOICE VOTE ON MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY Parks and Recreation Minutes Page 2 of 4 October 25, 2016 COMMITTEE MEMBER PAULSON MOVED that we encourage the Borough Assembly to examine and update the Comprehensive Parks and Recreation Plan from 1981. VOICE VOTE ON MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY E) Narrow Cape Public Access — AAC CEO Gave Report to KIB Assembly at the September 1, 2016 Regular Meeting Quass stated in your packet is a nice little handout from the September meeting that the Alaska Aerospace President came and visited with the Assembly and gave them an overview on the update as to what's going on here. You can look at it to see. He read the handout to the committee. Quass said as a group you should keep watching to see if they are going to do green launches and/or expand when they do their expansion for their medium launch, and see land use issues as far as what's going to happen beyond that. NEW BUSINESS A) Disc Golf EX-OFFICIO GRONN said he reached out to the golf course manager and he asked him if the MWR would consider posting baskets there. He was receptive but he said it's above him to make that decision, he thought they already had baskets. He contacted the MWR Director who stated they already had a basic nine-hole course at the Nimitz gazebo area open to the public. B) November and December Meeting Schedule Quass said the reason this is on there is because in the past for November and December you have opted to go to the third Tuesday of the month as opposed to the fourth Tuesday of every month. He would just think that since you are probably going to do this every year just make it a motion, a resolution, that November and December will take place on the third Tuesday. COMMITTEE MEMBER JOHNSON said it's on the third Tuesday right now. Quass stated that's because last year when you were doing the scheduling you said, hey, November and December we're going to move it to there so you have to change it every year COMMITTEE MEMBER PAULSON MOVED that we move the November meeting to November 15th and the December meeting to Tuesday, December 13th.

Consensus to have it on April 5th D) TMO's for Saltery Trail: SM4 — SM6 During discussion the committee relayed additions and changes to the TMO's to Jane] Day.
