requested that a trails map be created and that the matter be forwarded to the Community

Director Comerchero as well suggested that, when created, the map be placed in the City's
brochure.

job well done; relayed his support of the creation of a trails map; recommended that the
Advisory Committee focus on the implementation of the Plan; commented on his future desire to
establish a Ranger Program to oversee the maintenance of the trails; and recommended that
the trails be named.
