Staff: RPP application delivered to mayor; committee discusses Eagle Hills exchange vs RPP route

Conservation Advisory Committee · April 9, 2026

Summary

Staff said the RPP application has been delivered to the mayor and the committee discussed a separate land-exchange proposal for the Eagle Hills concept plan; members recommended parallel tracks and a follow-up letter to BLM if the committee decides to proceed.

A staff member told the committee that "the application at this point has been delivered to, the mayor" and that staff were awaiting guidance from the mayor's office on whether to proceed with the RPP process.

Committee members clarified that a 2021 concept plan and a more recent exchange proposal are separate from the RPP application. The chair said the exchange would involve swapping federal land for private land and that the RPP is a separate route by which the city could acquire property. Several members recommended pursuing the RPP process in parallel with any land-exchange talks so the city retains options if the exchange does not move forward.

Members discussed next steps for engaging BLM: staff recommended a simple letter indicating whether the city wants to continue with the RPP, while noting a complete RPP submission will require a management plan, funding plan, and operations-and-maintenance details.

No formal direction from the mayor's office was recorded in the transcript.
