I have a few technical and substantive suggestions for alterations to the Donor Agreement
and the Attachments. I have conferred with a city ranger, a CCCMB organizer, local and British
Columbia mountain bikers. I have also researched the standards in B.C. and my suggestions
reflect common practice in that area. My concerns are 1) providing not just maintenance, but also
operation standards, 2) promoting bicyclist and hiker safety, and 3) maintaining the passive
recreation nature of mountain biking in open space as defined in our General Plan.
Suggestions for added language are bolded.
***Attachments 1 and 2 (134-3 through B4-11 as amended below) should be consolidated and
made Attachment "A" to the Donor Agreement.
Page B4-5 at the top of the page under "To Maximize Safety" add:
5.) Establish and maintain first aid stations;
6.) Inform county first responders of location of all skills area trails.
7.) Provide regular bike patrols tasked with ensuring biker and hiker safety
and trained in first aid skills.
Under "To Improve Communication and Partnership" add:
3.) There shall be no skills contests or races, sound systems or night
lighting.
***The Donor Agreement:
Under 2. DONOR'S OBLIGATIONS page 134-12
