CONSENT CALENDAR Ken Pul kam
DATE: August 25, 1992
SUBJECT: City and County Trails Construction and Maintenance Program
DEPARTMENT: Parks and Recreation
BACKGROUND
The City of Santa Clarita through its General Plan has identified the backbone
trail system; which includes three primary trails. These include the South Fork
Trail, the Bouquet Canyon Trail, .and the Santa Clara River Trail. The attached
map illustrates the locations of each trail in the Santa Clarita Valley and how
they tie into each other to create the backbone system.
The three primary trails travel through both City and County jurisdiction, which
is also illustrated on the attached map. The development of a successful trail
system within the City is dependent on obtaining trail access, construction
agreements, and maintenance programs in both incorporated and unincorporated
territory.
In order to provide a contiguous trail network, a portion of the funds
designated for acquisition, construction, operation, and maintenance will be
spent on trail segments which are currently. located in the County. Agreements
addressing each of these issues are all necessary components of the trail
program and need to be discussed with the County of Los Angeles.
Staff is requesting that the City Council authorize the Director of Parks and
Recreation to pursue the construction and maintenance agreements with the County
of Los Angeles. Upon Council approval, staff will work with the County defining
the City's responsibilities for the various segments of trails located within
County jurisdiction.
FISCAL IMPACT
None. The original trail acquisition and construction costs projected by City
staff included those unincorporated County areas.
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the Director of Parks and
Recreation to negotiate acquisition, construction, operation, and maintenance
agreements with the County of Los Angeles for those portions of the City's trail
system which fall within the unincorporated County territory.
