Discussion of maps, code sections, different uses, and watersheds.
Smith stated the Trails Summit will be on April 24th at 7 p.m. in the Kodiak High School
Commons.
Cassidy asked the committee to review all the information provided. We will notify folks
and put a display ad in the paper.
COMMITTEE MEMBER FOREMAN said it should also be put on the website and maybe on
the Kodiak Snow Report.
During discussion there was consensus that they don't want the public to think all the
problems will be solved at the summit; it will take time to come up with solutions to
resolve any issues at future meetings. They also want to limit public comment to 3 minutes,
and they will focus on Russian Ridge at this meeting. Trails Summit Preparation is to be on
the next agenda.
The committee directed staff to do a search for Russian Ridge Trail in the Trails Plan
including the appendices and send it electronically to the members.
NEW BUSINESS
A) Pillar Beach Discussion
Cassidy stated the road was put in by the City of Kodiak when they were getting sand for
the roads. We have received title so it's borough land now. Cassidy suggested they add it to
their list of priorities, tell him where it is on the list, and then he can talk to the manager
when it gets close to the end of budget to see if there's any money left.
During discussion, COMMITTEE MEMBER FOREMAN said COMMITTEE MEMBER WEST
was going to talk to Rob Green about it. Discussion of Pillar Beach being a great place for
families with young children. COMMITTEE MEMBER FOREMAN said if you leave it where
no one but the partyers will go down there then that's all you'll get is partyers. It's a shame
that we have a nice fishing area, a nice picnic area, and a great place for swimming but we
can't get to it.
Cassidy said he will follow up with Rob Greene tomorrow.
B) Discussion of Consent Agenda

COMMITTEE MEMBER'S COMMENTS
Rick Lindholm said we need to read all the rules and regulations so we seem smarter than
we are.
Patrick Saltonstall said we need to discuss it more at the next meeting.
Casey Janz said it's pretty exciting that this is getting to this point now.
Patrick Saltonstall said he was at a cubs meeting where they do the bear management and
they form this sub - committee, and he thought that's what we're doing. If we had just
passed this trails plan and didn't have anything like this summit the plan would be put
away on a shelf and this is a good way to keep it active.
Casey Janz asked if we're still waiting on the user map.
Cassidy said they are ordered and on their way here.
