March 13 2013 Regular Meeting Minutes Informational Items None Commission Comments Commission Chair Lasota reported on the Historic Preservation community outreach booth at the Museum Grand Opening. There was community interest in the proposed revision of the Historic Preservation Plan. Commissioner French discussed the proposed multi modal trail to Exit Glacier. The trail's route is projected to cross railroad property. The part of the trail that goes across railroad property and by the bay might be a prime target for interpretative signage focusing on historic aspects. French put forth that Jeff Mow would be a good contact person on the trail's planning progress; but that there were many jurisdictions to be dealt with as the trail is planned to cross so many properties. He encouraged commissioners to attend the Alaska Railroad's master plan meeting at the Library Museum from 5:00 pm to 8:00 on the following evening, May 30 2013. Lasota proposed that city staff contact Jeff Mow for any future presentation on the multi modal trail. French volunteered to attend the Alaska Railroad's master plan meeting. Citizens' Comments Bob Reisner commented on the AK Railroad's proposed expansion affecting potential • historically significant property like the airport. Commissions and Administration Response to Citizens' Comments Lasota hypothesized that the civil air patrol might be a resource on the airport's history. Linville volunteered to obtain information regarding historically significant properties adjacent to the AK Railroad's proposed expansion.
