WHEREAS, this request was reviewed by the Kodiak Island Borough Parks and Recreation Committee on February 27, 2002 and March 6, 2002; and WHEREAS, section 2.43.010 of the Borough Code requires the Committee to evaluate existing and future recreation needs and make recommendations to the Borough Manager and Assembly; and WHEREAS, Saltery Cove is determined by the Committee to be an important public recreational area; and WHEREAS, there is little guidance in adopted Borough or State land use plans to address the use of this area beyond its current use for public recreation and state grazing leasehold; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Kodiak Island Borough Parks and Recreation Committee recommends that: 1) No state land use permit should be issued for a seasonal fish camp facility. 2) Issuance of a state land use permit for this proposed land use would be in conflict with current public recreational uses. 3) The Kodiak Island Borough Parks and Recreation Committee has recently been re-established to begin a "Kodiak Road System Trails Plan" and a revised "Kodiak Island Borough Parks and Recreation Comprehensive Plan" and the proposed land use may not be consistent with the policies that may be developed by the Kodiak community as part of this process. 4) A state land use permit is premature because the State Department of Natural Resources has indicated that a land use plan process will be initiated for Kodiak Island in the Fall of 2002. // ~ PASSED AND APPROVED THIS L~ DAY OF =1~~,/[~r~--, 2002.

He has been unable to attend the last four (4) regularly scheduled meetings. Mr. Hansen was very committed to the Borough's recreation needs but had family situations arise that took priority. We welcome him to submit an application for future vacancies, when the opportunity arises. By declaring his seat vacant we can begin the process of advertising and filling the opening so that the committee can operate as a complete body once again. Thank you for your time.

Roll Call Attendance: David Neshiem Danne Dorman Stacey Studebaker Erin Harrington Ray Jackson Pete Cummiskey Public: Mike Getman (KNWR) Zoya Herrnsteen Approval of Agenda The agenda was approved by mutual consent of the body as there was not a quorum present. Minutes There were no minutes presented. Old Business A. A short video was viewed explaining the purpose and requirements of ANCSA 17b easements. B. Public Meeting Option regarding registration. The group discussed with staff the need to educate the public prior to the open house and solicit their input. It was decided the best way to do this would be through a newspaper display ad explaining the process, issues and preferred alternative and providing a form for responses. A draft ad copy will be prepared for presentation at the next regular meeting on June 25 to polish the ad and get it ready to submit to the paper the next day for publishing on June 28 Friday. Fridays are the largest circulation day. Also, will include the information on the Borough web site with option for electronic feedback and follow up with PSA's on local radio. Give 2 or 3 weeks to get comments before open house. Open house could coincide with ATV stakeholder meeting in late July or could be rescheduled to early August or some other day and time to avoid conflict with fishing seasons. This can be fine tuned at the June 25 meeting. C. Monashka Bay End of Road Park. Staff displayed a zoning map and the ordinance zoning the end of the road to Natural Use, which only applies to the Borough's land. Zoning enforcement would not be effective against motorized off-road recreation as it would only come back to the Borough as the land owner. Enforcement will need to be done from the land owner perspective through KIBC Title 18 and the first step to enforcement is to sign the area and publish a formal order restricting the use of the Borough land. Only then can trespass be enforced on Borough land. It was noted that registration might play a part in this as the Borough has no law enforcement power and is short of resources to routinely stake-out or patrol the site. This information will also be provided to Parks and Rec Committee which will be addressing the issue through a resolution to the Administration/Assembly. Erin Harrington suggested a press release to the newspaper to get some free publicity about the status of the zoning at the end of Monashka Bay Road. New Business A. ATV Education a. Mike Getman from the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge gave an informative report about ATV policies and regulations applicable to the KNWR. He explained the concept of "open unless closed" and "closed unless opened" as land use management concepts and the pertinent merits of each. He talked about signage. The concept of traditional use and a grant appliction to do 1.3 miles of trail hardening on the Portage trail out of Larsen Bay going to the Karluk River. A handout summary was also provided. i. Staff passed around a few brochures from the ATV Summit Meeting in Anchorage a couple of months ago. There was little discussion as most of the items related to rider safety only. ii. Stacy Studebaker presented her idea for an ATV education campaign featuring Lester Lightfoot a mascot figure based upon a fox character suitably attired to relate to Kodiak (and perhaps other Alaska) residents. She explained her idea to create a series of educational vignettes based upon the whimsical Lester Lightfoot character. There was further discussion. Staff commented on the projected cost of producing the educational series given the higher production values associated with color copying and laminating the cards. Stacey will bring back a prototype example for the next regular meeting to show a more developed and polished concept. Staff offered to use the fully developed concept as a tool to shop for appropriate funding of the series. b. What is needed. It was requested to have the U.S.C.G. make a presentation at the next meeting regarding their approach to ATV education and regulation. The meeting was running overlong and Erin Harrington called for adjournment. The meeting adjourned at 9:07PM
