A. City Cemetery Land and Trail
COMMITTEE MEMBER SCHROEDER spoke regarding the City's request to purchase land from the
Borough adjacent to Chichenoff Cemetery so the City could expand the cemetery, and their 3 different
proposals.
Discussion of the cemetery and hospital.
Dvorak stated that Borough portion of land there is part of the hospital site, and explained the possibility
of having some sort of assisted living there. Dvorak stated the trail ties in with Baranof Park and East
Elementary, and a recommendation could be made because the emphasis is on getting kids to walk to
school.

that the Borough received a grant from RTCA to build a trail through there.

COMMITTEE MEMBER JUENGER stated Cassidy said to make a formal request.
C. Implementation of the current Parks & Recreation section of the Borough Wide Comp Plan
Dvorak stated this is the most current draft and it has been reformatted. He encouraged the committee to
get their comments submitted to the consultants. Dvorak also said the Borough attorney advised against
using the trail maps in the Comp Plan due to a lot of trails are on private property.
