Trail project, Bay Point and Clyde areas.

Subject:Cooperative Agreement Between Contra Costa County and East Bay Regional Park District, Bay Point and
Clyde areas.
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
the waterfront access that was lost when Port Chicago Highway was closed.
The Great California Delta Trail engineering study is one of the projects listed as trail
projects in the Navy Mitigation Expenditure Plan. $350,000 was allocated to the planning
and environmental review for the portions of the Great California Delta Trail within
Contra Costa County (the overall trail will eventually ring the Delta Region, connecting
to the Bay Trail in Martinez).
At this time the East Bay Regional Parks District has requested that Contra Costa County
allocate part of the money for an Engineering Study of potential trail routes through the
East Contra Costa County area. This agreement commits $25,000 of the Navy Mitigation
fund to this study consistent with the Navy Mitigation Expenditure Plan approved on
June 17, 2008. Public Works worked with County Counsel to draft the modified
indemnification language acceptable to both parties.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to approve this agreement and fund the Great California Delta Trail Engineering
Study with Navy Mitigation funds will result in the loss of potential improvements to
replace the waterfront access that was lost when the Port Chicago Highway was closed in
Contra Costa County and would be inconsistent with the intent of the Navy Mitigation
Expenditure Plan adopted on June 17, 2008.
