San Juan Island Trails

2015 Meeting Minutes

The San Juan Island Trails Committee met Wednesday, December 18, 2013, at 5 pm at the Whidbey Island Bank. Those present were Cinda Pierce, Bill Severson, Mike Lazzari, Theresa Simendinger, Dave Zeretzke, David Harsh, and Louise Dustrude. Chair Bill Severson presided.

The group reported 19 hours of volunteer work on trails since the November meeting.

Mike reported that he spoke with Island Rec Director Sally Thomsen and has permission to buy the proposed GIS equipment for the committee, and he spoke with the county’s GIS person, Nick Peihl, who is willing to have us help correct the trails as shown in the island map book soon to be updated. Mike, Bill, Theresa, and Louise will meet on December 30 from 5:00 to 6:00 at the library to make plans for this work.

Cinda reported she has the signs ordered to mark the Barracks to Boats Trail between English Camp and Roche Harbor, similar to the American Camp Trail signs now up between Friday Harbor and American Camp.

The group decided to hold a retreat on the subject “Revitalizing the Trails Committee” on February 8, and will do the necessary pre-retreat planning at the steering committee meeting on February 5 (place to be announced).

The group enjoyed some holiday treats brought by the members.

Respectfully submitted,
Louise Dustrude, Secretary
