PERSONS SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD
4-a. Debbie Sonberg-- 2002 Park Development Proposal
Ms.' Sonberg was not in attendance.
4.b
Brett McDonald -- BMX Park
McDonald presented a proposal for a BMX park and indicated the old fire training
ground by the high school as his the proposed site. McDonald provided a schematic of
a BMX park he downloaded from the Intemet and stated his proposed park would be
the same size. In addition to the two sheets of signatures of users and parents who are
in favor of a BMX Park (which he provided), McDonald stated there are several
businesses in the community who have offered to help with building, sponsoring
events, etc.
Discussion took place on the proposed site and Frates reported it was currently a
Conservation Zone and the issue would have to go before the Planning and Zoning
Commission to determine whether or not it could be rezoned. It was noted the site was
large enough to house a BMX park, a skate park and possibly a dirt jump area. It was
also noted the site was large enough for a parking area. Discussion also took place on
an alternative site and it was noted the proposed site was more favorable due to its
close proximity to other recreational sites, restaurants, etc.
McDonald stated he would like to see the area fenced to prohibit motorized vehicles
from destroying the dirt jump area. Discussion took place on a fence and
Councilwoman Porter stated she felt a fence may take away from the area and
suggested perhaps some landscaping instead. It was noted the next step would be to
take the issue to the Planning and Zoning Commission and Councilwoman Porter
stated that she would inform the Council of the request as well.
MOTION:
Commissioner Hultberg MOVED to approve the concept of the BMX Park and to
pursue alternative locations if the fire training grounds are deemed unsuitable.

NEW BUSINESS
Discussion -- Cunnmgham Park Site Plan Concept.
(This item was added at the beginning of the meeting.) Frates provided the
Commissioners with a draft site plan proposal prepared by the Department of Natural
Resources for a boat ramp adjacent to Cunningham Park. After review and discussion,
it was recommended a buoy(s) be introduced in the fiver in front of Cunningham Park
to control traffic and protect the bank fishers. Councilwoman Porter stated the issue
would be discussed at the next council meeting and she would bring up the issue of
buoys at that time.
ITEM 7: REPORTS
7-a. Commission Chair-- Wisniewski explained Debbie Sonberg's proposed park
(Item 4-a) location would be the vacant foreclosed lot off Kaknu Drive. Frates provided
a map of the exact location and added he believed that Sonberg was more interested in
a greenbelt type situation with perhaps a picnic table and some trees. After a brief
discussion it was noted that Sonberg would have to provide a park plan to the
Commission for review.
7-b. Director-- Frates reported the following:
City Council approved $3,600 to Chumley's to clear the Bernie Huss Trail
and Municipal Park. Sandahl stated the Bernie Huss Park looked great and the
equipment moved to East End Trail was being used.
· Red Ribbon Week is approaching and there will be a dance on Friday,
October 19th. If anyone wants to volunteer to chaperone, contact Frates. · Men;s basketball will begin on November 12th.
· The 2002 APRA will be held in Homer and Frates was asked to serve as a
liaison between the APRA Board and the City of Homer. Frates thought this would be
good experience for him in preparing for a convention in the event it would be held in
Kenai again.
· The dip net fishery report will be available soon and the total revenues
are available for review if desired.
· The gym and racquetball floors were recently repainted and look very
nice.
