6. VISITOR COMMENTS.
Stacy Studebaker spoke to the board about the entrance to Ft Abercrombie from Parksidc
Drive. She had to negotiate a 5' wide 2'deep ditch right in front of the Park entrance.
Pictures were introduced to the board. The ditch posed an obstacle to visitors including
children who were physically challenged to cross the ditch. It makes since for Service
District I to install a culvert as well as gravel to fix the problem. Parking has also been
1
difficult with the new ditch. A rock wall or boulders could also be added so cars do not
back into the ditch.
Barbara Rabold spoke about the Park and the ditch which was posing an accessibility
problem for people who are pregnant, with disabilities or people with young children.
There was ice in places where it wasn't before. The disability act would question why the
accessibility was changed. She would like to know the total cost of the project. She has
called the park and they are trying to figure out what to do.
7. CHAIR'S REPORT
Chair Arndt reported the addition of the Road Salt Quote to the agenda. He had talked with the
City of Kodiak and the State of Alaska to find out what they are doing regarding ordering salt.
He had done work on Parkside and Cliffside due to severe drainage problems. He hoped that the
work done has solved those issues. He talked with the Park Staff regarding the ditch problem at
the entrance of the Park and they have received many complaints.
N. Hayden requested the board correct the Park entrance and make it more accessible to the
public. Board discussion ensued. Arndt suggested putting planks down. Symmons would like to
meet with the Park and come up with a proposal that both the residents and the park approve of.
Board agreed that they would meet with the Park Service.
