AUDIENCE COMMENTS AND APPEARANCE REQUESTS
OLD BUSINESS
A) Termination Point TMOs and Clarification
Mckenna-Foster said this is just to clarify what we talked about last month about what these terms
mean.
Discussion
B) Parks & Rec Comp Plan: Inventory and Needs Assessment
Mckenna-Foster said this is an overview of the recreational facilities that have been identified. It's
primarily in the urban area and we're looking at the number of facilities, the units per population,
and our parks classified by pocket parks/neighborhood parks. The point of this is to determine
what our baseline needs to be.
Discussion
Multiple sidebars taking place during discussion.

Denise May came to the meeting to talk about her parent's graves at the cemetery. She wants to
know who is going to help rebuild the beautiful gravesite that her brother built in her parent's
honor.
EX -OFFICIO MEMBER GRONN told May that his department is going to fix it the way it was and
she should come see him.
EX -OFFICIO MEMBER SYMMONS stated he would be happy to help fix the graves.
May stated the borough is island wide, and she didn't hear anything about the villages and what
kind of recreation might come in. Recently, Afognak has been developing as a whole with both
the native village of Port Lions, native village of Afognak, and Afognak Native Corporation, we've
come together looking at economics for the community and bringing some of our people home,
particularly in Port Lions. One thing that came out of their last meeting in the public group of the
community of Port Lions was "we need to start thinking of ourselves as a recreational destination"
so Port Lions is starting to think that way too. How do we sell ourselves as a recreational
destination? What can we do to improve our community to make it that? Having said that, your
statement kind of fits within that and we are part of the borough so how do we get involved, how
do we become a piece of this. If you would like someone to help from Port Lions, she can help
find the right person to help.
EX -OFFICIO MEMBER SYMMONS suggested that he and Mckenna-Foster talk to her after the
meeting to send her in the right direction.
C) Killarney Hills Master Planning Process: Feedback
Mckenna-Foster said this is a memo that we sent out to all agencies and organizations in the
borough. We would like some detailed information about the Killarney Hills parcel from the Parks
and Rec Committee. If the committee has anything else that you would like to add it would be
helpful.
During discussion there were multiple sidebars taking place.
EX -OFFICIO SYMMONS suggested that the committee invite the Resource Management Officer
to the next P&R meeting for her input and the committee give her their input.
NEW BUSINESS
A) 2011 Urban Trails Plan Review
Mckenna-Foster stated this was requested at the meeting last week. He included the executive
summaries, implementation actions, and some of the other stuff to point out there is a lot more to
this plan than TMO's.
Discussion
COMMUNICATIONS

COMMITTEE MEMBER'S COMMENTS
Cory Gronn said he looked at borough codes and Robert's Rules of Order, and technically an ex -
officio is a regular board member however, the borough's resolution identifying this committee
identifies him as a non-voting member. He looks forward to working on the Comp Plan. He's
adamant about this Comp Plan because he thinks it's important for his work at the city, so we can
adopt it as well. He wants to see a plan that we are going to see through and utilize.
? won't be here next month, he has a work trip. He asked if there were any suggestions on what
you want us to do between meetings. This is the first time he's been involved in something like
this, it's a learning experience. He's glad to be here.
Dennis Symmons said to call him if there is anything that he can do for the committee. He asked
that the committee keep him in the loop even when he's not here at the next meeting. He reminded
the committee that the assembly took those lots off the market. Six people came to your assembly
and asked if the assembly really has to sell these lots and the answer was no, we don't, and they
came off the market.
Paige Simeonoff said are we coming up with a vision and maybe some survey questions that we'd
like to use. If we start doing TMO's again, we should all be walking the trails that we're doing
TMO's on.
Patrick Saltonstall thinks the committee should do urban trail TMO's next.
Helm Johnson thanked everyone for coming and asking what you can do to help and be involved.
ADJOURNMENT
COMMITTEE MEMBER BASSHAM MOVED to adjourn.
