OLD BUSINESS
A) Leisnoi Land Trade
B) Bike Path & Lighting
COMMITTEE MEMBER WEST stated she doesn't have anything new on the lighting. The Lion's Club
may or may not have money by the time we figure out what we want. WEST talked about the
pedestrian sidewalk on the bridge across the Buskin River and the lack of continuity of pavement
that is sort of a gravel pit. Rob Greene told her that it could probably shovel it out over the summer.
Greene was also going to check on if the committee could start to clear another area and the last
section is actually the State Right -Of -Way which is right before the Coast Guard gate. She thinks the
path all the way to the Coast Guard Base. Island Trails Network looks like they will be clearing from
Pier 2 to Boy Scout Lake. We still need an agreement with Alaska DOT and the City of Kodiak stating
P &R Minutes Page 1 of 3 May 22, 2012
if the project goes over $3.1 million that the city agrees to pitch in their 9.03% match of the
overflow.
Lydick asked COMMITTEE MEMBER TSCHERSICH about last meetings minutes where he said he
talked to KEA and they were changing out all the lights to LED.
COMMITTEE MEMBER TSCHERSICH said that's what he heard.
NEW BUSINESS
A) Trail Comments
Discussion regarding the Burton comment, dealing with issues of the user guide map, and an
advisory statement to accompany the user guide map.
B) June P &Z Agenda
Lydick gave a brief report on the upcoming P &Z cases, and recommended the committee weigh in
on Case 12 -038.
C) Capital Improvement Projects
During discussion the committee recommended doing PSA's, a display ad, and an email to everyone
on the Trails Plan distribution email list. It was also recommended to put this as a new business
item on the June agenda for discussion to allow the committee to review projects that have been
completed and think about the process.

COMMITTEE MEMBER'S COMMENTS
Rick Lindholm stated Jeff Huntley did a good job tonight in the absence of Patrick Saltonstall.
Casey Janz stated as she was driving past the Lash dock with the logging trucks there and they were
cautioning motorcycle drivers, and she was thinking about riding bicycles when a truck pulls out
P &R Minutes Page 2 of 3 May 22, 2012
without slowing down. She expressed concern with the area being very dangerous.
Hans Tschersich stated he will talk to the people who called him to criticize the user guide to invite
them to a meeting.
Mike Marion asked when we are going to talk about TMO's for the Master Trails Plan. We talked
about doing TMO's and now we've went to one meeting a month, and he just doesn't have a grasp
on what our goal was for getting these TMO's for Russian Ridge. It should be addressed at the next
meeting.
Sandra West stated that not only are there logging trucks to look out for, there was a rock slide at
the slide area. She could hear it and then she got a flat tire so she ended up stopping a couple of
cars.
Pam Foreman said to be clear for the next meeting on June 12th we're going to be coming up with
the advisory comment for the map, bring our ideas for the CIP and hopefully have public input, and
maybe what we should do it to try to put calendar together for the TMO's stuff to say here's where
we're going to target.
Jeff Huntley said when he was driving up Rezanof the other day there was a whole bunch of bicycles
riding in the road, not on the trail. There were quite a few people walking but someone will end up
getting run over riding in the road.
Sandra West said we are working on the problem of people riding in the road especially before our
foreign nationals come to work in the canneries. She seen a bumper sticker that shows a car and a
bike and it says "Same rights, same road, same rules, and same death."
ADJOURNMENT
COMMITTEE MEMBER MARION MOVED to adjourn.
VICE CHAIR HUNTLEY adjourned the meeting at 8:05 p.m.
