Mission Lake Tide gate Service Board
Minutes for March 27, 2008 2pm. Borough Conference Room
Present were Norman Sutliff, Al Burch and Marian Johnson on the Board
Guests were Beverly Horn and Barbara Zimmerman residents around the lake
Kodiak Island Borough Maintenance Director Robert Tucker
Mr. Tucker phones, 486-6549 H, 942-5157C He would appreciate phone calls if
conditions warrant his attention on Mission Lake Tide gate.
Marian Johnson read the minutes of the last meeting 10-27-2004.
Marian passed around print out of Mission Lake residents land and home
valuations not dated and requested that a new one be given to the Board Members.
Norman Sutliff discussed the removal of the bars located on the exterior of the tide
gate and asked why they were removed. Debris had entered and plugged the outlet
causing flooding on the road side of Mission Lake as a brief period of thawing
occurred. City of Kodiak equipment, Anderson Construction and Borough
personnel worked after hours cleaning the plug on March 14,2008.
Mr. Tucker said that the Borough would create a maintenance schedule on the
computer that would use tides so that the gate could be examined on a regular basis
and especially after Easterly storms with high tides.
Beverly Horn presented photos of the flooding on her property on Mission Lake
during the plug of 3-14-08. The photos were given to Mr. Tucker for his files.
Norman Sutliff requested copies of bills paid by the Borough that pertain to the
maintenance of Mission Lake Tide gate or repair be sent by email or mail to the
members of the Board. This is a cost paid by the residents and they should know
what is being paid. Norman asked that a brief history of the tide gate be written for
those who do not know the project. Marian volunteered to do this article. Norman
believes the residents should not be responsible for the cost of unplugging the tide
gate on 3-14-08 as the bars were removed without our knowledge or permission.
Discussion of saving ducklings, fingerlings and removal of lake grass ended the
meeting at 3pm. Marian Johnson
