and review it in depth and Sheila will let P&Z know you will be coming to their
worksession.
The committee discussed the proposed ordinance.
Ogle also stated that in coordination with this project she emailed Linda Freed,
the City Manager, to touch base with her about what the discussion has been
between the Kodiak City Parks Department with Ian Fulp, the school, and the
Borough as to who is maintaining what parks and to see if we can attach some of
Kodiak's urban area borough parks to the Cities maintenance program.. Linda
Freed did contact Ian Fulp to tell him to coordinate this with Ogle so she will get
with him by Friday.

Ogle stated she is still working on it.
NEW BUSINESS
A. Recommendation for Borough Acquisition of the Kodiak Christian Fellowship
Subdivision Lots IB and IE.
Ogle stated she provided them the minutes from this case. The neighbors are
concerned about the wetlands and that it will be developed. It is the last section of
Woodland Acres and they feel they don't have enough recreation opportunity. It
was also their understanding this was to be developed to be a church. The
Planning & Zoning Commission moved that the Borough has the first option to
purchase Lots 1 Band 1 E. They have not finalized the preliminary or final plat so
it is not recorded. The petitioner requested and received approval from the Army
Corp of Engineers to fill in some of the wetlands. They may be reconfiguring the
lots slightly, but after speaking with the Borough Manager, the Parks &
Recreation Committee needs to make a recommendation to the Assembly whether
you feel it is something the Assembly needs to move forward to acquire.
Discussion of the lots and neighborhood.
The Committee would like to go look at this location before they make any
decisions.

Pam Foreman said she will be here for the first part of the meeting on May 9th.
Andy Schroeder said he got back last week from Fairbanks at the Trails Conference and
would recommend going next year. He gained a lot of very useful information. Thanks to
the Borough for sending him.
Pam Foreman asked if the bike path stayed on the Capital Improvement List. She would
like the bike path put on a future agenda and get grant information of what that process is.
She also asked Andy to share his bike papers with Mary Ogle.
Kevin Foster said he recommend the Borough give Mary more time to visit the
community.
Mary Ogle stated the CIP process is about to start again. She also said we did get
verification that we did get the Piedmont Trails and the Lake Summit grant. They will use
GeoBlock around the lake. The Comprehensive Plan consultants will be doing another
round of meetings the end of May.
Pam Foreman said if Mary gives her some verb age she will put it on Island Byways.
