OPEN SPACE AND TRAILS MEETING WITH THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS PUBLIC COMMENTS There were no public comments. STAFF COMMENTS Rick Neiley's Resignation Dale informed the BOCC that Rick Neiley turned in his resignation from the OSTB on Friday because he sold his residence in Snowmass Village. Members of the BOCC and OST Board and staff thanked Rick for his many years of public service. Proposed 2006 Trails Projects Dale reviewed the list of trail projects that OST intends to include in its 2006 budget. The projects on the list were: Brush Creek Trail, Phase 1 of The Crystal Trail, MAA Trail, East of Aspen Trail extension, realignment of the Rio Grande Trail/Basalt-Old Snowmass Trail, expanding the Rio Grande Trail at Emma and Pitkin Iron to include a paved surface, and enhancements to the upper Rio Grande Trail. Dale explained that funds were available to under take all of these projects in 2006, and have the trail fund balance out by the 2010 sunset of the program. The BOCC gave conceptual support for the proposed projects, and suggested that staff contact the Woody Creek Caucus in advance regarding the paving of the Pitkin Iron section of the Rio Grande Trail. Red Wind Point Management Plan Dale summarized the events of the Crystal River Caucus meeting last month where the draft Red Wind Point Management Plan was discussed. Dale said that the Caucus passed a motion to establish a committee that would determine where on the east side of the river a trail would be appropriate. The motion did not say who would serve on the committee or how the committee would be selected. The Caucus did not ask for funding for the committee. It was reported that a Crystal resident was trying to recruit biologists that would reach his predetermined conclusion. Dale said that staff was planning to gather its comments, and consolidate them for the boards' review, along with a revised draft of the plan. The BOCC directed Dale to advise the Caucus of the deadline for public comment. Aspen Sanitation Staging Request Dale informed the BOCC that OST is proposing using a. 17 acre portion of the Red Butte Ranch Open Space for staging for the Aspen Sanitation/Holy Cross/Rio Grande Trail improvement project. This proposal would speed up the project, improve safety by getting equipment further offthe road, and require restoration of the impacted property, and improvements to the section of the Rio Grande Trail under the bridge that is currently impacted by the river. The BOCC approved the proposed use of the property for staging, so long as it is adequately restored. BOARD COMMENTS Rick Neiley Mick commented that he is sorry that Rick is leaving and recognized his contribution to the Open Space and Trails program. Rail Salvage Jack asked about the rail salvage project. Dale said that RFTA will salvage as much rail as possible this fall. Dale added that, if the County moves forward with paving the Emma section, then removing the rail under the soft surface and thereby lowering, and thus widening the grade, would be beneficial. The BOCC was supportive of removing the rails under the Emma section of the Rio Grande Trail. Bill Fales Mick commented that Bill Fales came under attack at the last Crystal River Caucus meeting, by a Caucus member that was critical of the Crystal Valley Ranch project. Mick defended Bill Fales, saying that Bill is an honest man, and expressed disappointment and frustration over the fact that a hard working volunteer had to endure political attacks. EXECUTIVE SESSION Dorothea motioned to enter executive session. Jack seconded. All in favor. The BOCC entered Executive Session at 1:00 pm in accordance with CRS 24-6-402(4)(a) and (b), for the purpose of discussing acquisitions and litigation. The Board adjourned Executive Session at 2:00 p.m. Approved ritkin County Board of County Commissioners :st nette Jones
