Staff maps easements around frog habitat; restoration planting day set for Feb. 14
Summary
City staff reported mapping easements around frog habitat ahead of Baylands/Crocker Trail work, will meet property owners and legal counsel; staff and partners announced a habitat restoration planting day for Feb. 14 and noted PCA grant outreach.
During staff updates at the Jan. 28 meeting city staff reported that GIS technician Bob Sage compiled archival easement records and mapped easements around a frog habitat area to clarify permitted work zones. Staff said preliminary findings suggest some prior work may not have been permitted under easement terms; the findings were forwarded to the city attorney and staff plan to meet with property owners to clarify rights and next steps.
Staff also announced a winter planting habitat restoration day set for Saturday, Feb. 14 at the Northeast Ridge, coordinated with Mountain Watch and Pollinator Partnership; staff said sign-up details will appear on Mountain Watch’s events page and that volunteers will be provided cotton T-shirts and lunches. The meeting record also notes staff outreach to regional bodies (MTC/ABG) in connection with a PCA grant letter of interest; staff are monitoring regional agendas and will inform the committee if the project advances to a full application stage.
