Name of Project: Additional Implements for John Deere 1026R Tractor

Brief description of the project: What is your proposed project? Please describe it.

The Trapper Creek Park and Cemetery, which is owned by the residents of Trapper Creek and managed by the non-profit Trapper Creek Community Services Association, Inc., consists of approximately 82 acres of which approximately 20 acres has been cleared.

?We propose the purchase of two additional implements for our John Deere 1026R tractor, a replacement filter kit for maintenance of the tractor, and delivery to Trapper Creek for a projected cost of $3332.29 from Craig Taylor Equipment of Wasilla.

Over time the cleared area has become uneven with frost heaves and rutting. On a seasonal basis a disk harrow would serve to condition the open field area, disk the community garden, level out the western addition to the cemetery, as well as serve many additional purposes in the future.

?? A moveable pallet fork attachment would ensure ease of moving tractor attachments in and out of the storage building and aid in moving any heavy material from any part of the park.

?? A filter pack kit would provide all the replacement filters and parts for proper and regular maintenance of the tractor.

?? Who, why and approximately how many people in our community will benefit from completion of this project?

As the park belongs to all residents of the community, everyone would benefit.

Is there evidence of public support for this project? If so, please attach.

The community has consistently shown support for the development and maintenance of our park, as evidenced by approval of past Revenue Sharing proposals, including purchase of a tractor and implements.

?Project Budget: Please provide project budget figures. Provide supporting documentation.

Craig Taylor Equipment has provided a cost proposal for:

?Frontier 4 foot Disk Harrow with 12 Notched Blades on 7.5 In. Spacing?? $ 1,753.00

?Frontier 42 inch Pallet Forks for H120 loader on 1026R Tractor ??????? $ 1,275.00??????????

?Filter Pak – part number LVA14891 ???????????????????????????????????$?? 79.29

? Delivery to Trapper Creek ???????????????????????????????????????????? $ 225.00

????????????????????????????????????????????????? ??????????????????? Total?? $ 3332.29??

? Will this project provide economic benefits to the community? If so, please explain.

Maintaining the Trapper Creek Park and Cemetery with our own equipment will provide savings for a long time into the future.

?Please provide an estimated time schedule for completion of the project if funding is received.

Should the people of Trapper Creek approve this proposal, the implements would be purchased in June 2014.

Name of Project: UPGRADE TRAPPER CREEK DUMPSTER ACCESS

Contact?? SHAWN STANKOWITZ?? Phone Number: 907-733-2315?? CELL 841-5041

Trapper Creek, AK 99683 _______?? E-mail: tctp@mtao

Brief description of the project: What is your proposed project? Please describe it.

The current dumpster facility is not easily used by many memers of the community. Presently, in order to put trash into the dumpster one must hoist a heavy container up to shoulder level, and then throw it into the dumpster.?? This is difficult for many, especially our senior citizens, women and any person of a small stature.

We propose constructing a raised ramp 18X40X4 which will allow access by either backing a vehicle to the dumpster or walking up and disposing of trash at waist high level.

Who, why and approximately how many people in our community will benefit from completion of this project?

All of the citizens of Trapper Creek will benefit from this improvement, especially senior citizens, women and any person of small stature.?? It will no longer be necessary to hoist a container of trash above body height to put it the dumpster.

Is there evidence of public support for this project? If so, please attach.

A concern about this was raised at a recent community council meeting by a senior citizen and options were discussed at that time, with no voices heard opposing a raised ramp.?? The discussion revolved around who might best solve this problem.?? MSB is unwilling to provide the upgrade.

Project Budget: Please provide project budget figures. Provide supporting documentation.

Gravel, 106 yards X $4.00 per yard?????????????????????????? ?????? $425.00

Railroad Ties?? $75.00 each @ 12.00?????????????????????????????????????? 900.00

Railroad Tie pickup???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? 200.00

Fuel for equipment????? ???????????????????????????????????????? 500.00

Miscellaneous screws, fasteners????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? 425.00

Total project budget???????????????????????????????????????????? 2500.00

A donation of equipment and labor has been offered for construction of the ramp.

Will this project provide economic benefits to the community? If so, please explain.

This will not provide economic benefit to the community but will improve quality of life.

Please provide an estimated time schedule for completion of the project if funding is received.

We believe this project can be completed by July 1, 2014 if funding is promptly received.

Brief description of the project: What is your proposed project? Please describe it.

? The Trapper Creek Park and Cemetery is a community-owned park, which receives noMat-Su Borough or State funding for operations and maintenance. The non-profit Trapper Creek Community Services Association, Inc. is charged with obtaining funding for operating the park for the whole community. The yearly funding available through raffle sales at Cabin Fever Reliever, Bingo, and limited pulltab sales is not enough to support the park, especially with frequent use through the year for meetings, water usage, and the free box. TCCSA requests $7200 for the operations and maintenance of the park from June 2014 through June 2015.

Who, why and approximately how many people in our community will benefit from completion of this project?

The Trapper Creek Community Building, Park and Cemetery are used by many residentsdaily. Maintenance and operational money would ensure that TCCSA can continue to provide community members with many services, which include meeting space, water usage, freebox, recreation and many other activities.

Is there evidence of public support for this project? If so, please attach

Last year the community supported a TCCSA revenue sharing proposal of $4000 for operating and maintaining their park from May through December 2013. This proposal is for a full year.

?Project Budget: Please provide project budget figures. Provide supporting documentation.

Based on actual expenditures for 2013 and 2014 to date, TCCSA has projected operational costs for one year, June 2014 to June 2015, to be $7200. Operational costs are higher than previous years, especially in the colder months due to extra heating for the buildings, water pump usage, and more frequent snow removal. Although we expect that there will be unforeseen expenses during the course of the year, projected monies for these are not included here.

A breakdown of the operational expenses include $400 for snow removal for Cabin Fever Reliever; $800 for electricity, $1060 for telephone and internet, $40 for trash, $1000 for diesel for heating building, $800 for insurance, $100 for diesel and oil for tractor, $1000 for office and cleaning supplies and $2000 for labor, which includes general maintenance, mowing, snow removal, and repairs.

Will this project provide economic benefits to the community? If so, please explain.

Economic benefits are derived from the services provided to the community, including inexpensive rental facilities, free water, household goods and clothes in the freebox, and the opportunity for jobs at the park.

Please provide an estimated time schedule for completion of the project if funding is received.

The project would encompass the year from June 2014 to June 2015.
