Memo:_--•-- Guidance for Mission Lake Tidegate Committee 2018
' From: Craig H. Johnson, Chairman
Date: March 19, 2018
Re: Program description, analysis, & budget changes narrative
t
Program Description:
This service area provides tide -gate maintenance to benefit the area residents &
all of Kodiak community as Mission Lake is used for boating, skating, kayaking,
& other recreation.
Analysis:
without a tide -gate and without proper maintenance & oversight Mission Lake
water level could rise & adversely affect lakefront properties.
Original tide -gate was established after the 1964 tsunami & remains in place
with outfall onto Mission Beach. This location was vulnerable to filling with
sand, ie. plugging up, due to exposure to more severe surf conditions. New
tide -gate is more protected & less likely to back up due to kelp or sand
blocking the outlet. Bob Tucker's over 10 -year experience has seen only one
severe blockage that required heavy equipment to alleviate.
Significant Budget Changes:
Service district assessment history has been consistent at 1 mill, collecting
about $6000./yr- Fund balance has risen to over $60,000. at this rate. Due to
lower maintenance costs, less than $500, in the past year, a lower assessment
Of .25 mills is proposed for this year.
Strategic Plan:
Proper maintenance & oversight is needed to benefit area residents & all
residents of the Kodiak area, Borough Parks & Recreation recognize Mission
Beach as the most used for recreation in the Borough, including lunch parking,
beachcombing, hiking, bonfires, fireworks, collecting beach glass, evening
sightseeing, and other uses.
This is truly a community resource which ties directly into the KiB Strategic
Plan to 'promote a vibrant, diverse, and healthy community centered on Kodiak's
unique qualities.'
Objectives:
Remove debris & maintain the tide -gate.
