Subject:Sixth Amendment to License between County and East Bay Regional Park District, Alamo and San Ramon
areas. Project No. 7758-6X5184
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
The original License has subsequently been amended five times. At their April 21, 2009
Board Meeting, the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors authorized the Public
Works Director, or designee, to negotiate a sixth amendment allowing the temporary use
of Segways and electric bicycles on a designated section of the IHT, and to execute such
an amendment upon approval as to form by County Counsel, but that amendment was
never negotiated.
The primary purpose of this Sixth Amendment is to add two (2) additional areas to the
property subject to the License for use as staging areas by the users of the Trail, and to
restate EBRPD’s responsibility for vegetation management in a wetland area in San
Ramon. In addition, the second amendment dated September 18, 2000, requires EBRPD
after a three (3) year installation and establishment period to be responsible for the
vegetation management in the wetland area between Norris Canyon Road and Bollinger
Canyon Road in San Ramon. The wetland area is now installed and established, and the
Sixth Amendment requires EBRPD to maintain it.
In 2005, two (2) staging areas were constructed in the IHC (one (1) at Rudgear Road and
one (1) at Stone Valley Road) in Alamo to serve the users of the IHT. This Sixth
Amendment adds these two staging areas to the License. EBRPD will maintain these
areas and pay the water bill generated by the East Bay Municipal Utility District for the
water fountains.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Users of the IHT will not have use of two staging areas in Alamo.
The County will have to maintain the wetland area between Norris Canyon Road and
Bollinger Canyon Road in San Ramon.
