NEW BUSINESS
A) Memo to new Engineering Facilities Director Philip Kovacs (draft for review)
Mckenna-Foster introduced Phill Kovacs, Director of Engineering & Facilities. We had talked several
months ago about working with Engineering & Facilities more due to a lot of work in maintaining and
improving recreational infrastructure (inaudible) to show up as (inaudible) even though it is.
Hopefully, in the future we can get together about once a year to talk about what E&F's priorities
may be and what this committee's priorities may be.
Corey Gronn stated he looks forward to working with Kovacs. He's aware that E&F has facilities that
you maintain for recreational purposes and those things are being maintained, repaired, and funded
but we are over here doing CIP list that maybe not jive. One of the reasons we talked about it is how
can we get E&F to kind of mold together with this committee and maybe help answer the circle of
funding for these CIP projects and how to help us through those. Gronn welcomed Phil Kovacs
aboard.
Phil Kovacs stated when he gets a better handle on the budgeting process he will look at the
committee's needs to try to see what can be accommodated as best as possible.
B) Letter of Support for State Park Trails on Woody Island
Mckenna-Foster stated the State Parks is interested in putting a cabin on Woody Island. The State
owns the northern part of the island and the borough owns the adjacent property to it. They wanted
to talk to us about possibly putting in a trail loop over borough and State property. The Resource
Management Department is all about it, it seems like something that this committee would be
interested in so this letter is supporting the State in developing recreation out there. The borough
doesn't have to do anything except say yes, you can put in a trail on our property. This is State
funded, it's their project.
Discussion
COMMITTEE MEMBER PAULSON MOVED to approve the letter as written to support the Woody
Island work.
VOICE VOTE ON MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY
C) Sabotage/Tree Cutting on Russian Ridge Trails
Mckenna-Foster said someone has been cutting trees. There were a couple of people that wanted
to do work on it so the Resource Management Officer allowed them to do it. They're not going to sue
the borough, people can clear it out. It seemed that the trees cut were designed to block access.
Discussion
D) Development Plans

COMMUNICATIONS
A) P&Z Agenda for September 19, 2018 RM
COMMITTEE MEMBER MILLSTEIN said his parking variance for the rooftop concept proved to be
too expensive. They gave me an encroachment permit but now they have to do a new parking
variance even though it's a similar size project because it's technically on a different lot even though
the parking is still on the same.
