AUDIENCE COMMENTS AND APPEARANCE REQUESTS
OLD BUSINESS
A. Alaska Transportation Alternatives — Review Memo and Discussion
Mckenna-Foster stated we are extending the bike path to Deadman's Curve, and working on the
bear viewing areas in Bells Flats. Director Fraser and Mckenna-Foster talked to DOT. It became
clear that it's not viable this year because it requires a match from the borough.
Director Fraser stated that the original assembly expectation was to spend a project total of
$500,000. We didn't get an estimate back from DOT until 2 days before the application deadline
at a price tag of $800,000 for pavement. It is less without pavement but still in the high $600,000
range. When they met with the maintenance guys in December, they had verbally said they were
in support of the project and they would prefer it be gravel. The regional maintenance guy said he
would prefer pavement so it could be striped for parking spaces. Due to dealing with budget cuts,
they said they don't want to support paved projects because they are not going to have the funds
to maintain pavement and striping in the future. DOT's right-of-way section said based on their
interpretation, if they don't pave it they will be in violation of their own driveway standards.

Maintenance was saying they don't want to touch it if it's paved, right-of-way said they're not going
to OK it if it's not paved. We are still $200,000 over of what the assembly is willing to match. She
is still talking to DOT. The biggest expense was going to be the culvert on the Flats side of the
bridge by the parking area. The culvert has been failing for years. Last summer they put in a
sleeve on it to prolong the life. They wanted to put in a new culvert that was 2 Yz times the size of
the one there now.
Discussion

Mckenna-Foster said this is a brief overview to remind people of what people wanted and is most
comments.
Discussion of what they want to include.
D. Spruce Cape Lighting Discussion
Mckenna-Foster said he and Gronn have been talking about this a lot. There was a lot of interest
over the winter about Spruce Cape and putting up lighting to create new recreational area.
EX -OFFICIO GRONN said it was identified in the survey so he followed up and met with them,
he talked to KEA to find out what it would take. He quoted $39,000 and that was max. You would
have to have the power in someone else's name unless you establish a lighting district. A lot of
people use the pond area already and there is a walking trail around it.

B. Killarney Hills Update Discussion
Mckenna-Foster said this was brought up to discuss. Not a lot has gone on with it. We are waiting
to hear from the city about any supposed limitations on water and sewer in this area. We haven't
got a lot of details or feedback from anyone. The city said that Public Works said there are
limitations on the capacity for the system so anything that Killarney Hills would likely to feed into
that, so they said it's not a good idea.
