In response to Mr. Jack Doyle, Manager Carlson said Alaska

the water samples obtained from Lake Orbin and they
scheduled the samples for analysis.
Shari Doyle, Womens Bay resident, noted the dumping of

Brechan pit area as a violation. She wished everyone a
merry Christmas.
Tess Dietrich thanked the Assembly for referring the
ground lease amendment request of the Kodiak Island
Sportsman's Association (KISA) to Planning and Zoning
Commission. She said the decision was the correct
procedure to follow.
Tim Booch favored the Assembly's decision to refer KISA's
lease request to the Planning and Zoning Commission. He
noted the consensus given was not officially recorded at
the work session and asked Manager Carlson to reiterate
the decision for the record.
In response, Manager Carlson announced he referred KISA's
request to the Planning and Zoning Commission and they
could contact Duane Dvorak for additional details.
Assemblymember Bonney said the Navy Seals retracted their
lease proposal and what he heard was the police and state
troopers would use Salonie Creek for target practice.
