Council Agenda Correspondence
DATE: February 4, 2025
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: Greg Hermann, Deputy City Manager
Prepared By: Robert Hill, Sustainability & Natural Resources Official
VIA: Whitney McDonald, City Manager
SUBJECT: ITEM 5D - AMENDMENT TO PERMANENT EASEMENT AND
TEMPORARY CONSTRUCTION EASEMENT WITH THE COUNTY OF
SAN LUIS OBISPO FOR THE BOB JONES PATHWAY
This Council Agenda Correspondence provides an update to the Council Agenda Report
pertinent to the overall status of the County of San Luis Obispo’s Bob Jones Pathway
Project.
The first sentence of the third paragraph under the “Background” sub-heading states: “At
present, the County is seeking approval from the [California Transportation Commission]
CTC at its January 30-31, 2025, meeting to phase the project and move forward with the
proposed “Caltrans right-of-way alignment” proposal that will avoid property where the
County has been unable to secure necessary right-of-way…” However, City staff have
been apprised by County staff that this item has been moved to the March 20-21 CTC
meeting. This will allow both the City Council and the County Board of Supervisors the
opportunity to consider and take action on the proposed easement amendments (as well
as action required by other easement grantors) prior to consideration by the CTC.
There was also another item pertinent to the County’s Bob Jones Pathway Project that
was on the January 30-31 meeting agenda, which was the introduction of deprogramming
State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) funds administered by the San Luis
Obispo Council of Governments (SLOCOG) from the Prado Overpass project to a suite
of other local projects, including $5,730,000 for the “Bob Jones Trail Extension Segment
2.” We understand that this item is also scheduled for final approval at the March 20-21
CTC meeting.
All other aspects of this Council Agenda Report and listed attachments remain
unchanged.
