COMMITTEE MEMBER'S COMMENTS
Sandra West said good job everybody.
Casey Janz also said good job
Rick Lindholm asked if someone was coming to Kodiak to talk about 17b easements.
Dvorak said on September 23rd.
Patrick Saltonstall said he hopes the committee gets to keep Foreman a while longer. He
also said this is a good trails plan.
Andy Schroeder requested to be excused from the October 11th meeting due to being out of
town. Schroeder is on the PAC and the committee wanted to strike "passive recreation"
from a permitted use of different zoning areas and he has since changed his mind. He also
told everyone "good job."
Pam Foreman said passive recreation to her means is open space. If you take out passive
recreation you are taking out what we have talked about enjoying.

thanked everyone, especially this past year.
