Title
Flow Trail Project Update and Consideration of Options
Body
The consultant, Mountain Capital, has completed the initial feasibility evaluation to construct a family-friendly flow trail in Los Alamos County (Attachment A). Due to a number of factors none of the evaluated options are feasible given the contractual scope. These limitations include budget considerations, user conflicts, terrain constraints, and land ownership. This presentation will include a description of what a flow trail is, the project deliverables, and present options for potential next steps.
Recommended Action
There are three alternative motions related to this presentation:
1. I move that Council approve the discontinuation of the current flow trail project and that any potential reconsideration of scope be deferred until after the County's budget situation is clarified. OR
2. I move that Council direct staff to develop scope alternatives and return to council with recommendations for consideration. OR
3. I move that Council direct staff to discontinue the current flow trail project and to develop a mountain biking masterplan.
County Manager's Recommendation
Given the current considerations regarding the GRT, the County Manager recommends that Council approve option 1 as stated above.
