B) Trails Plan - Map Corrections
Cassidy stated it was pointed out to the committee that map 13 shows just black trails and no color. The
legend dictates what those trails are used for. Cassidy has sent emails and messages to Gilpin but he
hasn't responded yet. There is 1 month left to get comments in.

C) Trails Plan - Prioritize Trail Easements
COMMITTEE MEMBER SALTONSTALL said the issue was we want to prioritize the trails that can't be
put on the map so they can potentially be purchased.
Cassidy said it is good to have the maps in the electronic database so that we can have them identified
when we're looking at subdivisions we can talk about retaining those trails but what we don't want to
do, at the request of the native corporations, is to make these trails public.
CHAIR SIROFCHUCK said if there's no mention anywhere in the plan when the opportunity comes to
purchase that land and the Assembly looks in the Trails Plan they won't see it mentioned anywhere, is
there a way we can list that the trails on private land that could be thought of for purchase in the future.
There has to be some way to put the trails in there without mapping them.
Cassidy suggested inviting the Ouzinkie Native Corporation, Natives of Kodiak, and Koniag to a meeting
to discuss this. We haven't been able to talk to Leisnoi.
There was consensus to invite these corporations to talk as soon as possible.
After much discussion, the committee was in consensus of the following prioritizations for trail
easements:
A. B. C. D. E.
Termination Point Mayflower Beach Cope Mountain Little Navy Heitman Lake
Pyramid Kalsin Bay Beach Red Cloud Black Canyon Deadman Creek
Cascade Lake Womans Bay Beach Ski Chalet Salonie Hidden Lakes
Cliff Point Middle Bay Beach 3 Bear Cove Spruce Cape
Long Island /Woody Island Broad Point Roslyn
Boy Scout Lake /Swampy Acres Chiniak Lake (Pt)

equipment for Womens Bay.

COMMUNICATIONS
A) Baranof Park Plan
Cassidy stated we added it to your list to support your discussion on Baranof Park, We are talking about
$1 million.
REPORTS
The next meetings will be the July 28, 2011 P &Z /P &R Quarterly Update to the Assembly at 7:30 p.m. in
the KIB Conference Room, the August 9, 2011 Parks & Recreation meeting at 7:00 p.m. in the KIB School
District Conference Room, and the August 23, 2011 Parks & Recreation Committee meeting at 7:00 p.m.
in the KIB School District Conference Room.
CHAIR SIROFCHUCK said he plans on being at the quarterly update to speak on the Trails Plan, the 2
committee's working together, and the CIP List.
COMMITTEE MEMBER SALTONSTALL stated we also wanted more money to make the user's guide.
Cassidy said the electronic interactive download to your GPS approach was going to cost $8,000 and the
concern with budgets being what they are that it was a little too much. Selby thinks the map concept is a
good one so grants can be applied for to do the interactive download. There's still a need for more
money but not to the level that Gilpin first proposed. We've given Gilpin some guidance; urban maps on
one side and rural maps on the other side, and landowner information and club information.
