OLD BUSINESS
A. Update of Salonie Creek exploration
Lydick reported he has been in contact with the Borough Manager and the Director of
Engineering and Facilities Department. They had a meeting last week to discuss this. It was
agreed that the ball had been dropped by other people in the chain. It is his belief that the
consensus ofthe Borough Manager and Director of Engineering and Facilities that it is a viable
plan and they did have a administrative means to pay for the exploration and contract as
recommended last month. We made no changes at that time, and the meeting closed when the
Director of Engineering and Facilities was going to contact the contractor we had recommended
to see if they were still interested in doing the work. We have a number of people interested in
being there when we are doing it.

Lydick stated Bud Cassidy was going to contact someone, so he will follow up on it.
NEW BUSINESS
A. Discussion of Policy Recommendations.
Lydick stated this is the first time COMMITTEE MEMBER TEUBER has seen this information,
and these handouts that have gone out to give the task force and idea of the types of zoning
ordinances that pertaining to do with gravel or sand extraction activities that goes from the
minimum, which would be the Kodiak Island Borough all the way up to the very detailed, which
is the last one from New Mexico. He has asked the committee to look at these and note in the
sections and on the comment page of what they liked or didn't like about them. He doesn't think
it is something we're going do in the next 30 days because it is a lot of material. When he thinks
of the policy recommendations he visualizes what they have currently by stating we will have
different performance standards in the district where it is permitted, basically the industrial
zoning district or we can recommend that extraction activities are flat out a conditional use in
any zoning district, which would bring it up for a public hearing and at that time the Planning &
Zoning Commission would be able to put any conditions of approval which they felt necessary
according to the particular site and the impacts of the sites they see, or we could go the other way
and say we are going to have a whole new code or chapter section dealing with extraction
activities regardless of the zoning district. Maybe we should make small changes rather than get
shut down or not listened to.
After a discussion, it was the general consensus that we focus our attention on what we have
locally to control these. If we find a weakness in it that particularly hurts people or the
community is upset about, then let's try to identify that hole in the local code, how to close that
hole, and what kind of patch material do we want to apply.
Lydick stated he would not be here for the January meeting.
After much discussion it was the consensus that the committee needs to go through this line for
line, section by section, and page by page. Take the existing code, take sections of it and do it
sequentially to see what we want to change, add, or delete.
Staffwill follow up on asking the absent members to go through the zoning district packet and
fill out the comment sheets in the back or highlight what they like or what they don't like. Staff
will put it on CD's to allow the track changes feature.
The committee requested Smith to send several meeting reminders for the next meeting
It was also the consensus to have a 3 hour meeting next time to allow them to work out more of
the details.

Staff was directed to send the absent member the existing KIB codes and regulations to use as
