Regarding the possibility of adding two maintenance workers, the option of having one person specifically in charge of paths was discussed. This person ("trail boss") would coordinate pathway maintenance efforts between various agencies and would also attend the Pathways Recreation and Parks Committee Meetings. The pros and cons of designating a person to handle pathway issues in particular were addressed and it was agreed that staff would proceed to address the pathway issue as a high priority. This included tree trimming and clearing paths so that people would not have to walk in the streets. Siegel also suggested working with Los Altos on such issues as sharing their water truck and planting El Monte. It was agreed the City Manager would discuss this possibility with the City Manager of Los Altos. Dot Schreiner, Chairman - Pathways Recreation and Parks Committee, noted that with the signing of paths they will need to be maintained.
