OLD BUSINESS
A) Trails Plan -RFP
Cassidy stated we don't have a lot to add but we still don't have it out yet. Andy came by to get
some Near Island maps. We are doing this conversion on our website and Cassidy hopes to have
the RFP out in the next couple of weeks. We are real close to the putting the GIS maps in. We
are getting a lot of off island interest and the thinking is to give folks as much of an
understanding of the topography that we are dealing with, the kinds of issues we are dealing
Page 1
with, and the data that we had previously probably wasn't good enough because it was just raw
data. Part of the proposal is understanding what the project is and raw data doesn't give them a
good understanding about what the project is.
VICE CHAIR FOREMAN expressed concern over waiting on this. Mike Sirofchuck and a
couple of others mentioned their concern to her that the further we push this, weeks down the
road we get into summer. We are into the end of February.
Cassidy stated we can put the RFP out and then do an addendum which includes back up
material. We will get out the basic RFP so folks can start looking at it and after reading it they
will be forming their response. Formatting and forming it and then we'll do the mapping as an
addendum.
The committee was in agreement with this.
VICE CHAIR FOREMAN said we need to be prepared to start looking through stuff probably
the end of February, early March.
Cassidy said the committee will be the review committee and making decisions.
B) Recreational Amenities
Cassidy stated he tracked the recreational amenities down and the attorney has concerns that
have to do with the requiring of private parties to set property aside without compensation. The
attorney asked that a preamble be put together and Duane has put it together. The next step is
to send it to the attorney to review. This is somewhat back on track because P&rZ is looking to
rewrite the zoning code which will include the recreational amenities.
