Ultra Run of Champions Request for City of Auburn Funding • $10,000 plus $2500 VIK (value in kind – barricades, city police, etc.) • Request referred to us by the Auburn Economic Development Committee for discussion and a recommendation. EDC and City Council to decide. • No precedent for this in the past – even Amgen funds were raised by local businesses • Championship events occur in Auburn regularly without funds donated by the city. • ECC voted unanimously to recommend a “no funding” to the EDC and City Council. ASRA Trail Usage Recommendations Letter • Mike Schneider’s comments concerning the ECC’s recommendations letter o Short Term goals all good. o Mid-­‐Term and Long Term goals are related to growth of park usage and will be considered as the general plan moves forward. o Many, many details to consider: endangered species, wildlife habitat, etc. o Data is being collected for accurate trail mapping updates. o Small areas are being monitored. o Can always use volunteers. o Goal to finish General Plan is Mid-­‐August; work to accomplish this is behind. o Trail designations will be a big part of the General Plan. • From Diana Boyer: use 2006 ASRA usage study to compare with 2015 data. • From Jeff Barker: willingness to create a volunteer mtn. bike patrol • From Jim Northey: several groups are staging equestrian-­‐mtn. bike rider clinics to educate both on trail etiquette and to horses/riders and mtn. bike riders to learn about each other. • Cool access options study needs user groups to continue to come together for options. • Mike hopes to streamline approval of trail maintenance projects. • Mtn. bike warning bell boxes at trailheads suggested – this is already being done in other parks with multi-­‐use trails. • From Lisa Kodl: ASRA event/group runs permitting process needs to have more consistency.
