CITY' OF SAN BERN~DINO - REQUEST
&
COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
The City of San Bernardino is a member of an informal
organization called the Santa Ana River Coordinating Council
(SARCC) seeking to prepare a master plan for a trails system
from the San Bernardino Mountains to the Pacific Ocean
("Crest to .coast Trail").") Attached is a letter and draft
agreement from the San Bernardino County Regional Parks
Department requesting approval of the agreement. Since the
format used by the County is different from that used by the
City, the City Attorney's Office should use the draft and
make appropriate changes.
The parties to the agreement would include cities in San
Bernardino county, the counties of San Bernardino, Riverside.
and Orange, as well as other cities in Riverside and Orange
counties.~dditionally, the National Park Service, the U.S.
Forest Service and the California Department of Parks and
Recreation plan to participate with the SARCC in this~
planning effort. The San Bernardino County Regional Parks
. .,1.
Department w111 act as the lead agency for the SARCC and w111
administer the contract for the master plan.
The City of San Bernardino's share of this planning effort
would be UD to $6.000 for the 1989-90 Budget. with a wide
participation on a regional basis from additional cities and
private/nonprofit groups, the cost to the City of San
Bernardino could be less than the $6,000 noted. The Parks
Commission has reviewed this project and will be taking a
formal position of endorsement at the March 16th meeting.
Once there is a master plan completed, actual construction
would follow. It is anticipated that with significant
regional cooperation, State funding is very possible.
The Santa Ana River cuts across the southeast part of the
city of San Bernardino and the Crest to Coast Trail will be a
valuable amenity for the community, thereby, facilitating
-tourism. The city of San Bernardino should go recorded as
officially endorsing the concept of a Santa Ana River
Corridor Master Plan. Based on the foregoing discussion, it
is appropriate for the Mayor and Common Council to formally
endorse the participation in the SARCC, participation in the
Santa Ana River corridor master plan expense and direct the.
City Attorney to prepare an agreement to accomplish the city
of San Bernardino this participation.
