Gallatin Valley Land Trust involvement prompts questions about Gardiner'Livingston trail role
Summary
Board members noted Gallatin Valley Land Trust is leading work on the Gardiner'Livingston trail; members sought clarity on ownership, maintenance and whether the county or the land trust will carry long-term responsibility.
A parks-and-trails committee member told the board that the Gallatin Valley Land Trust has become involved in the Gardiner'Livingston trail project and that the land trust's participation may change the board's role in maintenance and oversight.
The committee member said she had followed up with the land trust and had been told the project was being advanced and that the board would be informed on items where its involvement was needed. Another board member said the trail work had been private until details were made public and asked the board to request clearer information about whether the county will ultimately own or maintain sections of the trail.
No decision on county ownership or maintenance responsibility was made at the meeting; members asked staff to seek clarity from the Gallatin Valley Land Trust on what the county's continuing role, if any, will be and whether the board should expect to be consulted on boundary or access issues.
