District. A site walk with user groups was held in June 2008. The geotechnical investigation was completed Sept 08.

to be determined.
Trails: County Parks and Recreation will help coordinate non-motorized planning county-wide with policy direction to
connect park properties and communities with trails. This budget year will expand upon efforts to work with public and
private agencies, to include the U.S. Navy, while creating enhanced County policy and standards for trails.

federal lands including wildlife habitat enhancement. Next Steps: Identify, map, and design trail and related
enhancements. Maintenance/Life Cycle Cost: $30,000 annually.
