AUDIENCE COMMENTS AND APPEARANCE REQUESTS
Tim Hurley stated the Rotary Club is looking for a community project to get involved in with our telethon
money. We are looking for a small area that we can donate money or materials and put a Rotary sign up so
there will be Rotary exposure. Hurley thinks it will be around $5000. He also said Glen Dick has also
committed to donating.
Sirofchuck stated Mill Bay Beach Park has been identified in our CIP list and placed high on the priority list
for improvements. Any participation from the Rotary is welcome.
During discussion Cassidy suggested Rotary representative meet with Bob Tucker, Maintenance
Coordinator to look at Mill Bay Beach and discuss what can be done.
OLD BUSINESS
A) Trails Plan
Cassidy will email the Trail Management Objectives for committee review. He's been working with Alta to .
come up with a cost (by mile or hourly) for trails data. The Alta contract is about $103,000, $20,000 added
for reimbursable things, and a $16,000 change order.
During discussion it was determined that committee members may GPS some trails if they wish.
B) Airport EIS
Cassidy reported the borough hasn't received an EIS because it's not considered a review agency. Cassidy
reminded them that the borough is part of the Alaska Coastal Management Program that is a coordinating
program and they should reconsider.

him. Murphy will supply a drawing at the next meeting.
Mike Sirofchuck said he's on that advisory board, and we're advocating for a campground at the Ram site.
Sirofchuck also attended the P&Z meeting in support of the park rules, and one commissioner proposed to
add "no shooting" to the park rules which the commission approved.
Cassidy said the rules will be sent to the attorney to be codified. Cassidy also spoke with John Winters
