OLD BUSINESS
A) Potential Leisnoi Land Swap
Cassidy stated there isn't anything new. He knows there is interest to either log or trade
but he isn't sure what direction it's going. It will have to go through several bodies.
During discussion, the committee stated they do want Bob Tarrant to come to a meeting. In
response to COMMITTEE MEMBER HUNTLEY'S inquiry of didn't we send a letter to Leisnoi
asking one of their representatives to come to a meeting, Cassidy stated he has one drafted
but he wants to hold off until Bob Scholze and the Manager are working with Leisnoi.
B) Trails Plan Map
Cassidy said there isn't much to report other than the money we were going to use to bring
P &R Minutes Page 1 of 3 February 28, 2012
folks here to testify before the Assembly, we are going to use to have the consultants make
some maps. Cassidy showed the committee some paper that the maps will be printed on.
During discussion, the committee members stated it's not waterproof paper.
Mike Marion arrived at 7:06 p.m.
Cassidy stated the last purchase is the maps and then we are pretty much done with the
contract.
C) Bike Path
COMMITTEE MEMBER WEST said Jocelyn Billoon is working on an agreement between
DOT and the City of Kodiak. The city has the 10% match that was given to them by the
Legislature. Alan Austerman found $384,000 that he set aside and gave to the city for their
project of the bike path paved from Pier 2 to Deadman's Curve. That's their required 10%
match. Before DOT starts the project, they want the city to sign the agreement stating if it
costs more that the city agrees to pay DOT more. When DOT talked to the City Manager she
said it isn't a city project, it's just some citizens. WEST sent a letter to Austerman's aids
asking for help.
During discussion COMMITTEE MEMBER LINDHOLM suggested if the $384,000 doesn't
cover the project to just stop when the money runs out.
COMMITTEE MEMBER WEST also said we got $50,000 from the Coast Guard to put a bridge
over Devil's Creek. She doesn't know if they're going to build it or contract it out.
COMMITTEE MEMBER SCHROEDER stated DOT is part of the executive branch and if we
get the Legislature asking questions he thinks getting Austerman involved is a good idea.
D) Lighting
COMMITTEE MEMBER WEST said she talked to Darren Scott and she sent emails to KEA
board members. She told Scott that we are interested in adding another light to their
inventory. Scott's reply was "you are going to build them and put them in so you just want
us to hook them up ?" COMMITTEE MEMBER WEST said she wants them to take ownership.

COMMITTEE MEMBER'S COMMENTS
Andy Schroeder said we just got the Coast Guard to agree to allow Island Trails to do some
grooming in Swampy Acres. We have access to their snow groomer, we have our own
grooming equipment, and access to the gates. There are a lot of trails in there and
potentially good cross country ski trails. They are still learning how to groom.

Guard may be considering changing out their street lights to LED's.
