VII. OLD BUSINESS A) Monashka Park Closure Staff provided the Committee with KIB Ordinance No. 95-12 that rezoned the borough land at the end of the road, Monashka Bay Park, to Natural Use. Staff also provided the Committee with KIB Code Section 17.12 and explained how natural use zoning already prohibits off-road vehicle use, therefore eliminating the need to draft a resolution. All committee members were happy to see the natural use zoning in place. A media blitz was recommended to let people know that area is off-limits to off-road vehicle use. It was agreed that the Coast Guard should be notified so they can inform their personnel. Signage was discussed. The consensus was that cheap, easy to replace signs should be used on good sturdy posts so they can be replaced easily when destroyed. It was also suggested that Fish and Game be contacted for assistance as they have just finished releasing the King salmon smolt into that area and may have additional funds to assist in the enhancement of that area. B) Trails Comp Plan The Committee continued to work on the revision to the Needs & Benefits (Paragraph 3) section of the plan. VIII. NEW BUSINESS A) Lester Lightfoot presentation Stacy Studebaker presented her drawing and concept of Lester Lightfoot.
