commission approved the proposed Master Planning Process to begin the planning process. He
stated Sara Mason is now in the Task 1 phase, which is Data Collection and Analysis, trying to
get all the information together so she'll have it when she starts to have the various meetings.
SCHMITT also read aloud the Stakeholder Engagement, Task 2, paragraph 2.1, and talked
about the joint work sessions to take place.
During discussion concern was expressed regarding an assembly member who said there is no
support for keeping the field, the signed Parks and Rec letter being forwarded to Director
Pederson but both the City and Borough's letters still haven't been forwarded to the
commission, and the City Parks and Recreation, being a stakeholder, hasn't been provided the
proposal.

H) Iditarock ATV Race Held on May 21, 2016
Quass said it took place on Saturday.
COMMITTEE MEMBER JOHNSON said the route they took is awful, they went to the right of
Summit, they didn't take the high line to the left. They went through.
Discussion regarding the race went through the mud field along the lake edge that is salmon
habitat, Mike Sirofchuck was going to take photos as it was happening, hopefully, having data
for next year to encourage them to stick to certain trails, if it comes back that it was so damaged
that we talk to Leisnoi to see if they would deny their permit. If we ever want to stop it, that's the
only way it's going to happen.
1) Trails Summit Recap — Summary for Completed TMO's (Pillar Mountain to Bells Flats
Trails).
Quass said it seems that the committee didn't plan on doing a lot of maintenance to those trails.
