Public raises 2001 Anza Trail memorandum; committee to consider a working group and add item to February agenda
Summary
A member noted a 2001 memorandum of understanding with the National Park Service that envisioned local representation for the Anza Trail; the Trails Committee agreed to review the documents, consider a subcommittee or point person, and place the item on the February agenda for fuller consideration.
A committee member brought forward historical documentation tied to the Anza Trail and asked the Trails Committee to consider whether it should serve as the town’s point of contact for a low-impact recognition or routing of the Anza Trail through Portola Valley.
Mary told the committee that in 2001 the town entered a memorandum of understanding with the National Park Service that contemplated a Portola Valley representative and an Anza Trail Foundation representative working together on the trail through town. She said the document exists and that the anniversary recognition for the Anza Trail could prompt local coordination.
Because the item was not on the meeting agenda, members did not take action but discussed options: appoint a subcommittee or a single point person to work with Mary and the Anza Trail Foundation, and add the topic to the February agenda for public participation. A member offered to provide a resolution and minutes that summarize prior approvals to help planners and the committee assess any required conditions of approval.
The committee agreed to place the Anza Trail topic on the February agenda and to identify a volunteer point person or subcommittee to work with Mary on next steps.
