Director Mary Thomas, and Recreation Leader Michael Reeves.

ABALONE COVE BEACH City Manager Guluzzy presented the January 19th
(1201) Abalone Cove Beach Park Status Report revision
and cited the recommendations made on page 12 of
that report.
Council then discussed the County's Lifeguard hours, the attendance figures
presented in the report, revenue and expenditure comparisons, safety problems
that may exist on the beach, and possible ways'and means of encouraging usage
of the beach. With regard to making improvements in the beach, it was
discussed at length that the restrictions placed on the use of the access road
hampered development of the park. Councilman Ryan moved, seconded by Councilman
Hinchlif f e that the City should ask the County for use and improvement of the
access road for light and heavy vehicles so the City can make improvements and
maintain the beach area. If the County does not respond by March 1, 1984,
then the Council will consider terminating the lease.
Council and Committee then proceeded to review the remaining recommendations
in the staff report and it was the consensus that the Committee would consider
these proposed alternatives with the exception of private use proposals for
the beach. It was the consensus that some of the playground equipment presently
being stored behind the Leisure Services building would be considered for
installation at the beach after a response is received from the County. Addi-
tionally, they approved exploring of parking and maintenance changes currently
being provided with the exception of the lock box system. They also rejected
use of private security forces to replace the sheriff's patrol.
HORSE TRAILS Citing concern for loss of the horse trails in
(701) the community, Mayor Bach,arach requested that
staff be allowed to work on acquiring easements
on legally recorded lots, develop an easement
plan, contact property owners to determine if they are agreeable to an easement,
and consider selling the Martingale Lot to pay for purchase of an easement to
complete another trail. Councilman McTaggart moved, seconded by Councilman
Ryan and carried to authorize the Mayor to send letters to get the necessary
easements to make up for closure of the trail connection at Martingale. It
was the consensus of the Council that any easement should make sense for the
long term.
