Public Comment-
Judy Dowell- The grader came down Three Sisters the other day and
didn't hit Forest Drive. It seemed like they needed to lower the blade a
little more.
Old Business -
The Post Office Boxes Issue needs more leg work in order to come up
with a resolution. Possibly we could push the planning toward next spring.
The Road Maintenance Contract was awarded to Brechan. Recently they
have finished with their asphalt jobs and can concentrate primarily on the
first part of Marmot and replacing three culvert and catch basins. We have
approximately $16,000 put aside for projects other than maintenance this
year. This is a five year project to make the roads up to Borough Code.
We have raised the Mill Rate a quarter of a percent to accomplish this
project. For the rest of this year we plan to concentrate from the top of
Marmot to just past Ridge Circle.
Advisory Committee shall be set up for specific projects. We encourage as
much participation as possible - the more help the better.
New Business -
Fiber Optics Cable-Bud Cassidy, Head Borough Engineering, was
brought in to give us as many details as possible. Kenai Cable Company
and Old Harbor Native Association plan to lay Fiber Optic Cables from
the Kenai Peninsula to Kodiak Island, starting some time next spring. The
first land fall should be next to the McFarlin's house at the beach on the
bottom of Three Sisters. Land fall is slated for three times. More land falls
are to be attempted on Mill Bay and Narrow Cape. The Company's at this
time are applying for permits for a four foot subterranean cable lay on
land. Bud Cassidy has warned us from putting it in the way of our
projects. The concept phase has been approved through the Borough.
Now they are involved with the contractual phase and getting permits
through the State of AK. Not a lot of specifics are available at this time.
1
Moneys for Marmot Road reconstruction is possibly available through
Federal CIP program. This would definitely help to mitigate the organic
base materials.
The Pond Enhancement Project is one of our largest concerns in our
district. We are lucky that Tom Lance of the US Department of
Agriculture lives among us. He recommends getting permission from
everyone wishing to be involved and having some engineers look at some
of our options. Of course all three land owners who own a portion of the
pond - and because it's a wet land issue - the Army Corps of Engineer will
have to playa key role. There is money available for projects like this
caliber. Mr. Lance warns that most of the time, it's a matter of time and
patience. Chaz makes motion to form a Working Committee specifically
oriented toward Three Sisters Pond Enhancement Project. Dave seconds
motion. Motion passes unanimously.
VII. Board Comments -
Andrew - Our residents in our district play very important roles in
Kodiak's community. Serving on this board, we have a huge responsibility
toward everyone.
Darlene - Thanks to everyone for your attendance.
