COMMITTEE MEMBER'S COMMENTS
Pam Foreman said she really likes Mike's idea of picking a project to focus on and moving
forward with it.
Michael Marion said we may even be able to incorporate some of the handicapped or
assisted access if we picked Mill Bay. There may be an opportunity to look at that with staff.
Bob Pederson said there has been a lot of transition over the last year and there's more to
come. He shared that there's been some movement on filling Duane Dvorak's position,
other than that he can't say anymore at this point. One of the rolls of that person in addition
to the normal duties will be to assume some of the responsibilities like working with this
committee. Pederson will be available to staff the meetings until we get someone on board.
Patrick Saltonstall said we do accomplish stuff; we have to look at the long term. We do the
winter rules, the planning & zoning and he thinks there are a lot of important things that
we do. We've been tracking the Leisnoi land swap and the borough does listen to us. Now
it's getting the Trails Plan implemented and going but he agrees with Foreman that we
should have another project and maybe we should talk about working more with the City
Parks & Rec.
Pederson said we've received a copy of a notice of application from the Corp of Engineers
that the Rocket Launch Facility wants to fill 3/h of an acre of tidelands immediately to the
east of where people launch their boats at Pasagshak for a barge landing facility so they can
barge in materials directly and bypass the road system. Part of the proposal is linking the
existing boat launch and taking it all the way down to zero, zero mean water. It's
immediately adjacent to where the tow is sloped to the proposed fill would be for the barge
landing facility. We have a tight deadline to respond to the Corp. We will be doing a
response to the Corp to make a formal request that they hold public hearings in Kodiak to
help air out the issues and determine if the proposal is in the public's interest. We have a
tight deadline to respond to the Corp and we're there's a lack of details in the Corp
application that's only dealing with the submerged lands for the Clean Water Act and
Section 10, the Rivers and Waters Act. Part of the details is the Aerospace Corporation has
not applied to DNR for a tidelands lease and apparently there's a Transportation
Improvement Grant from USDOT that the Alaska Aerospace is pursuing to hopefully fund
this thing. The use, characteristics, and management of it are totally silent. This is a huge
area where people currently park their truck and trailer after launching and he doesn't
know if that's been weighed in on yet. The only mitigation they are proposing is the boat
ramp but what about the trailer parking and there is some are just west of there that's not a
lot of elevation and maybe they could level that off.

Saltonstall said that is the archeological site and he's written a letter to the State already.
He also said there's another archeological site out that point.
Pederson said some of the concerns that he's expressing are long standing public use area
and there's no specifics and the Corp permit wouldn't deal with this but it needs to be out
front before they determine if it's in the public interest. There's no specifics of whether it
would be exclusively for the barge landing or whether the public could use it. There is
concern because in the Intra Island Transportation Plan talks about that as a possible ferry
launch if there's going to an Intra Island Ferry to go to Ouzinkie and Old Harbor to cut a lot
of time and rough water out of that link.
Saltonstall said we've also talked about improvements to the boat launch.
Foreman said some of the concerns she's heard expressed are the gill netters and the sport
fishing there. If she recalls right comments are due the 19th.
Pederson said comments are due the 16th.
Foreman said we can put our concerns to the Assembly at their September 12th work
session.
Pederson said there's going to be a letter from the borough manager or my level regardless
requesting a public hearing. Pederson is drafting a letter and we're going from there.
