III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background:
County Service Area R-10 (Rodeo) had been having difficulty with loitering, vandalism and
drug use on the Rodeo Creek Trail. Enforcement by the Sheriff's Department requires
installation of signs and adopting ordinances that address these issues.
Previous action by the Board expanded the definition of "Signposted Parks" (which was
already included in the County Ordinance Code) to also include County maintained trails.
Once County maintained trails are included under Division 1110 of the County Ordinance as a
"signposted trail" the Sheriffs Department will enforce the ordinances listed on the signs.
Approval of this Board Order will allow the installation of signs at the EI Sobrante Library and
on the Rodeo Creek Trail restricting certain activities in these areas. This action will enable
the Sheriff to enforce various restrictions on these County maintained properties. The funding
for installation of signs in the future will be the responsibility of the relevant County department.
LIBRARY SIGNS: The County Ordinance Code division 1110-2.208 for Signposted Property
states that signs will be posted "at all of its entrances and exits, and if appropriate, around the
property's perimeter at intervals determined by the board to be reasonably calculated to give
notice." The EI Sobrante Library parking lot is very small. The Public Works Department
recommends Board approval to post these signs at each entry and exit point (2 total), as two
(2) signs will provide adequate notice in this small parking lot.
RODEO CREEK TRAIL: The County Ordinance Code division 1110-2.206 Signposted park
states that signs will be posted "at all staging areas...and at intervals determined by the board
to be reasonably calculated to give notice". The Rodeo Creek Trail is approximately 2.5 miles
long. The Public Works Department recommends Board approval to post these signs at each
point where the surface streets intersect with the trail and at the beginning and end of the trail.
Twelve (12) signs total, with signs placed at 10 entry points, as well as at the beginning and
end of the trail, will provide adequate notice.
IV. Consequences of Negative Action:
Without the Board's approval of the language contained on these signs, and the installation of
these signs, the Sheriffs Department has no authority to enforce certain County Code
Ordinances on signed County properties.
