Introduction of new NPS superintendent, Tomie Lee, and new Gustavus School principal, Peter Kokes. Ms. Lee comes to Glacier Bay from Glen Canyon National Recreation Area in Arizona. Mr. Kokes moved here from Angoon and has been in Alaska for 12 years. The purpose of the new committee is to inform and educate the community on issues related to these lands and act to preserve those lands if the community wishes. A large map which clearly shows where these parcels are is being made by Chuck Rice and Heidi Robichaud.
Smaller maps are available at the library.
The MHL Trust has asked for proposals from communities concerning lands they own within those communities. That priority will be determined through a process of public meetings and community surveys. The easement could be purchased by the Trust for Public Lands if Gustavus submits a satisfactory proposal to them. Meadow Brook is the contact person for the committee. Kathy Leary reported that the only Gustavus project currently approved is the causeway replacement on the dock.
