BOROUGH CLERK'S OFFICE
Bud Cassidy, Director of the Engineering Department for the Kodiak
Island Borough, called a meeting of :the Board to discuss the bid and
public meeting procedure for the Mission Lake Tide Gate. Present were
vice president Bill Hinkle andSecretary Marian Johnson. Absent was
Chairman Norman Sutliff.
Bids were received by the Kodiak Island Borough, and one was chosen
for the sum of $52,530 from Michael Anderson Construction Company.
The Board was asked to plan for a public meeting of Mission Lake
residents and the public before the bid approval. Bud will advertise for
a public meeting in November.
Bill Hinkle is concerned about the State of Alaska requiring a second
gate in the new tide gate for fish if they are unwilling to participate in
the cost of installation. Marian Johnson said it has always been a public
lake with various activities by the community in it..Most residents came
after 1964 so photos and testimony of what occurred before that date
would be important to make decisions concerning the status of the lake
whether private or public. She showed various photographs before and
after the 1964 earthquake/tsunami that damaged the adjacent property
and opened the lake to salt water. These. photos will be scanned and
available for the public to view during the public meeting.
Bud passed around various papers showing the valuation of parcels in
the service area, the mill rate increase, previous expenses to maintain
the gate, and maps of the project. He said all the permits have been
received for the project.
The meeting was adjourned at 6:15pm so the Board and Chief of
Engineering could view the remainder of the exciting Ball Game of the
Boston Red Sox.
Respectfully submitted, Marian Johnson
