Commissioners grant permission for multiuse trail section to cross county property at Rebecca Park
Summary
The board agreed to allow a new connection of the Rebecca Park trail to cross a small portion of county-owned land; the project uses Next Level grant funding and county staff confirmed the county will continue routine maintenance on the trail segment.
City staff and the city attorney briefed commissioners on a small portion of a multiuse trail at Rebecca Park that crosses county property. The board voted to allow the trail construction to proceed across the county parcel and recorded that the city and grant administrators will maintain the trail under the Next Level grant agreement.
City Attorney Christine (no last name provided in the public record) explained the city has completed a survey and is finalizing a grant-funded design; she told commissioners the city needs a minute entry in the county record showing the board—s permission for the trail segment to cross county property so grant paperwork is complete. She said the trail is an extension of the existing connection trail that currently ends near the Rebecca Park restrooms and will connect toward the library/Pirate Park area.
Why it matters: The project completes a section of the county-wide trail network and is funded through a Next Level grant; commissioners emphasized the city will be responsible for implementation details and the county—s role is to acknowledge the use of a small county parcel.
Board action: A commissioner moved and the board approved a motion to allow the trail to cross county property and to record the county—s approval in meeting minutes so the Next Level grant can move forward.
Ending: City staff will finalize plans and coordinate construction and long-term maintenance consistent with the grant and with the county—s existing trail maintenance approach.
