DATE: October 10, 2001
SUBJECT: Consider Revision to Trail Reimbursement Policy
Attachments

The Park and Recreation Commission recommended,and the City Council adopted a trail
reimbursement policy whereby developers are reimbursed for installing bituminous trails
through subdivisions. In recent years, we have not had to reimburse developers as trails
have not been installed. In 2001, however, the City reimbursed Lyman Development
Company and Dynamics Design and Land Co.a total of$47,234.80. Both developers were
reimbursed for exact costs, not the costs based on $14.00 per lineal foot. The current
market price per lineal foot for bituminous trail appears to be in the$7.00-$8.00 per foot
range.
Both reimbursements were unanticipated expenditures from the park dedication fund and
staff requests further direction regarding the need to reimburse developers for bituminous
trails. Should trails be considered a required expense on the part of developers,or should
the City continue to reimburse developers? Alternatively, the City could package trail
construction projects on an annual basis as needed. At a minimum,however,staff feels that
the$14.00 per lineal foot reimbursement cost should be substantially reduced to the current
market rate of no more than $8.00 per lineal foot.
Recommendation
Please provide further direction regarding this issue.
