The..Commis~sion asked that details be worked out on the Bicycle Trails Extension and presented at a later date. Jack Castimore applauded Kayo McGillivrary and the Parks and Recreation Commission for the work done and the success of the recreation program. The Commission decided that a work session would be set up for consideration of the list and any. other items presented and then make a recommendation to the City Council after all items had been entered. Among the handouts was a list from the City administration concerning the airport. Bill Brighton outlined the memo written by Jim Swalley, Airport Manager.

Included were: Construction of new itinerant aircraft parking area Extension of existing main aircraft parking ramp Paving existing parking lots and associated roadways These items were placed in order of priority by Jim Swalley. The Commission discussed possibilities and problems of the proposal. This will be discussed further at the next work session. Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission Page 3 - ~ Phil Bryson asked if there were any questions or any other items for consideration for the Capital Improvements List and Bill Brighton informed the Commission that the City Council had a list from the Mayor that had not yet gone to their work session. Mr. Brighton suggested the Commission might want to look it over and have recommendations ready for the Council. Mr. Brighton added that on the cover letter from Mayor O'Reilly, it pointed out that the list is not a priority list, but an idea of what money and what projects are involved. Marvin Dragseth asked Bill Brighton what kind o.f a time frame the Commission was looking at for getting the list together. Mr. Brighton said that he could not be specific but related that '~. the legislature will be meeting around January 10th. It is assumed that the Council would have a priority list ready prior to Christmas. Betty Glick cautioned the Commission to be thorough in it's study of the projects, but to be fiscally responsible in it's study. Also to keep in mind when considering is the fact that grant money is easy to come by, but maintenance and operating costs cannot be funded by grant. It was the consensus of the Commission that all priority lists from the three main commissions be ready for the next Planning and Zoning Commission meeting on December 9th and that these lists be accompanied by a narr~.tive for each item such as Parks and Recreation's. B. Discussion of Offer by Tony Doylec Bill Brighton Since Tony Doyle was out of town and unable to attend himself, Bill Brighton explained the plans of Mr. Doyle which are to donate section 6 of Doyle Subdivision to the City of Kenai for use as a park for the neighborhood. Mr. Brighton outlined the benefits for Mr. Doyle which would include his plans to take sand from this lot for the roads within the subdivision, replacing the sand with the overburden. By donating this lot and developing it for a park, he has access to the sand for the completion of the road and the subdivision lots will~.bejready for sale. For the City, Mr. Doyle would develop the park entirely and would deed the land to the City plus eleven mare tax payers when the subdivision is completed and sold. Mr. Brighton also informed the commission that Mr. Doyle had approached the Parks and Recreation Commission who had recommended the Planning and Zoning Commission accept the offer. MOTION: Jack Castimore moved, seconded by Jim Blanning to recommend that the City Council accept the .offer of Mr. Doyle of Lot 6 of Doyle Subdivision for the purpose of creating a park for the City of Kenai.
