OLD BUSINESS
A) Winter Use of Lakes Public Meetings
During discussion, it was the consensus of the committee to hold a public meeting on January 22,2007 to
identify issues related to winter use due to re-appointing of committee seats in January. The committee
established the following timeline and a groups/stakeholders list that should be invited.
January 2,2008 - Start advertising
January 22, 2008 - Public input meeting-less informal
February 12, 2008 - Discuss input and work on white paper
February 26, 2008 - Public Hearing
March 11,2008 - Public guidelines-2nd Meeting?-re-examine recommendations, and work on white paper
March 25,2008 - White Paper completed
Stakeholders
Adjoining property owners
Ice fishers Ice skaters
Cross country skiers Walk-transportation-trail users
A TVers Snow machiners
Hockey players Paragliders
Ice boaters Ski-jors
The committee also discussed possible PSA language, and they were in consensus to call it "Winter Use
of Urban Lakes and Waterways" to include wetlands and ponds. The committee determined they like the
white paper approach.
SIROFCHUCK stated he and FOREMAN can probably do the "Talk of the Rock" on the radio.
B) Trails Plan
Dvorak stated Cassidy would like the committee to help describe the scope of work of what the
committee envisions in the trails plan that would include geographical scope and issues to cover so staff
can develop an RFP. Dvorak also said Cassidy recommends members of the committee be at the
Assembly meeting when he asks for additional money for your project.
During discussion, it was the consensus to use the trails outline they had put together previously
outlining the scope of work, and they want to take part in this without sub-committees.
SAL TONST ALL said he gave his copy of the outline to Bud.
HUNTLEY said it is more than just an outline and he feels they can pull what they need out of it.
The committee's goal for the next meeting is for Cassidy walk out of the next meeting with a very clear
idea of the scope of work so he can develop an RFP.

NEW BUSINESS
A) Salonie Creek Rifle Range and Public Use
FOSTER stated he's noticed the rifle range closed for the Coast Guard to do live fire exercises. One of
the days was on opening day of bear season. About 3 or 4 times a month the Coast Guard has the range
which is eliminating public use of the range. People have been moving to the beaches and other locations
to sight in their guns and target practice to get ready to go hunting. He feels we are moving backwards in
what we are trying to accomplish with safety issues at the beaches. The reason we have the range is for

the public has a safe place to do these things. He believes the Navy Seals has their days at the range also.
KISA is getting paid for the Coast Guard and Navy Seals to use the range at the expense of public access.
The committee was in consensus to invite a representative of KISA to a meeting to answer questions
about the range and scheduling.
B) Island Lake Trail
CHAIR SIROFCHUCK asked for this to be on the agenda. He stated that Kevin Murphy is excited about
the possibilities of this trail for locals and tourists. He suggested a "Cruise ship"hike.
SCHROEDER give a report on the bridge project that Eagle Scout Mathew Lloyd is working on. He said
they are looking at designs, and there should be enough money left to do about 240 feet of boardwalk like
in Fort Abercrombie. Island Trail Network will be making recommendations.
