OLD BUSINESS
There was no old business.
NEW BUSINESS
A) Borough Website
DEMI stated she would like everyone to look at the Parks and Recreation page.
It was the consensus of the committee to put the vision statement on the P&R page of the
website, and until the plan is adopted it should state it is the draft Comp Plan.
COMMUNICA TIONS
A) Advanced trail Design & Construction Training
HUNTLEY and FOSTER stated this is a hands on trails and maintenance training, and follows
along with the training they just attended. It is the next step of training.
FOSTER and HUNTLEY expressed interest in attending this training.
It was the consensus to put Bud Cassidy's name on the application as a placeholder to assure a
slot for one person if we get approval from Cassidy.
B) Letter to Lori Demi from Erin Whipple dated April 30, 2007
DEMI stated 2 years ago she went to help with the trails, and Whipple is requesting Lori to go
since the Borough has a high tech GPS.
Dvorak stated he is unclear of what the product is going to be other than GPS the trail. He was
informed last year that the Larsen Bay Tribal Council had a grant to do aerial photography in this
area, and asked the Borough to participate. We agreed in principle to hire a surveyor to put out
the markers or an X. They didn't get it done last year due to the weather, so they are going to do
it this spring or summer.
REPORTS
A) Trails Training Report from Jeff Huntley and Kevin Foster
HUNTLEY reported all the trails were put on TMO's (Trail Management Objectives), and there
are specific codes for different trail uses. The State hasn't adopted them yet but they use
something real similar. He passed pictures around from when they all worked on the Lake Miam
trail. Everyone is welcome to look at his book and TMO's because the book is very helpful.
FOSTER reported the TMO's are being incorporated. It started with the Federal Park Service,
and the State is working on their own version, but they are all following basically the same
structure of the TMO worksheet. If you use their definitions they will understand what you are
doing. If everyone would use the objective 20 or 30 years from now you won't have to be second
guessing anyone. Everyone would be on the same page. The different classifications of use will
determine how you deai with that traiL Liability could be an issue also. The trail must be
managed according to the designation or you could be liable. The important thing is to designate
what your objective is for that trail. It can be designed for one use but can be managed for
multiple uses.
It was the consensus of the committee to pick one of the Safe Routes to School trails to be their
Test Trail Project.

Dvorak reported the borough attorney has recommended some substantial changes to the
Recreational Amenities Ordinance, but he can work on making those changes, forward it to the
Assembly, and send it to the committee by email.
Dvorak also reported one of the issues with the Comp Plan is the mapping. The P &R Committee
could help with the access points along the road system. The consultant will be in Kodiak from
May 15 -17, and the conference room will be reserved on May 16th for the whole day.
The committee discussed whether they should change the number of meetings they have a month.

COMMITTEE MEMBER'S COMMENTS
