connects the trail to the Kern River. Three additional resolutions and the
ordinance relating to the acquisition and improvements of the trails were referred
to the Urban Development Committee for further discussion. During the
Committee meeting, staff reviewed the proposed Specific Trails Plan, costs
associated with the construction development fee and potential funding for
ongoing maintenance. The Committee recommended approving the first phase
concept and adopting the final three resolutions and the ordinance. In addition,
the Committee was supportive of amending the Park Development Fee for trails
to reflect $670, which is consistent with the fee for single family dwellings. Staff
was asked to develop a conceptual statement for maintenance costs that is in line
with current City policy for the Specific Trails Plan purpose only. The Public
Works and Community Services Departments will present to the Committee at a
later date a proposed new tier level in the Consolidated Maintenance District that
will specifically address the trails plan.
6. NEW BUSINESS
A. UPDATE ON FREEWAYS
The Mayor gave a brief report on his meeting with the California Transportation
Commission. He and other representatives from Kern County testified at a
hearing to advocate maintaining as a priority monies for freeways. The
Commission did not take any action. The Mayor indicated that CalTrans does
favor our position.
Staff gave a written update on the specific status of certain freeways. It is
anticipated that the EIR work on the South Beltway may cost $100,000. The
County has said they will not pay into the EIR and does not want to be the lead
agency on this project. Kern COG, the City and the County will need to get
together to decide where the money will come from to bring the EIR up to
standard.
