Mr. Dolan stated that there is some confusion regarding the motion approved by the Board, specifically the length of trail restoration including the $200,000 pledge for future upgrading. Following discussion, it was moved by Member Clausen and seconded by Member McNulty, that Item 4 on page 3 of the Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations be amended to read: "The Board determined to return 2.8 miles of recreat10nal trail in the ROW between Las Trampas Road, Alamo, to Prospect Avenue, Danville, to its preconstruction condition. The remaining length of the recreation trail in the ROW may not be immedi ately returned to its preconstructi on condition. This determination was made in recognition of future construction that will or may occur in the ROW. The Board also determined to budget $200,000 to be designated for upgrading the surface of the ROW at such time as an appropriate public agency has agreed to perform the work and assume maintenance responsibility. The $200,000 when coupled with other publ ic or private funds, incl uding those from other agencies with projects in the ROW, may allow for upgrading more of the recreational trail. The Board adopted this mitigation measure in recognition of the disruption to the publ ic that will be created as a result of the construction of the project."
