Denise Williams

2. COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE FLOOR
None
3. OLD BUSINESS
A. Other meetings
i. Eileen Gibbons and Nick Dunkle met with John and Eric of the town staff and the
architect regarding Lands of Nicholson. The owner is ready to put in the path
according to the recommendation of the Pathway Committee, which was for a zig-zag
down along the property line. (With respect to connecting with Dawson Drive,
the planning commission asked for another easement, but no path to be down the
property line at xxx Dawson.)
4. NEW BUSINESS
A. Pathway-related meetings
i. Eileen Gibbons and Nick Dunckel met with Richard of the Town staff, who reported
that all projects on the maintenance list have been completed. A potential maintenance
project – Ventana/Matadero Creek and Page Mill – may be improved by sweeping the
oak leaves, but may also involve bending the path slightly. The nature and location of
the easement will have to be examined first.
ii. CIP projects – Nick Dunckel reported that although they were scheduled this quarter,
nothing is going to be built until much later in the year. Nick and Eileen will be given
notice.
iii. No action has yet been taken by the Town with respect to approaching the
County about making path improvements on upper Mood Road.
iv. Regarding the Robleda Trail Feasibility study - Nick Dunckel reported that
town staff wanted to put a sign disallowing horses on the north side of Robleda
(next to the open culvert) until improvements are made. The neighbors
protested.
v. How best to connect paths for the subdivision at 27641 Purissima Road, will be
reviewed again. There are two bridges – the partially finished auto bridge and a
wooden footbridge – on the property.
vi. The recently annexed La Loma neighborhood will be noticed for the November
meeting. The neighborhood needs to be added to the Masterpath Plan. The
legal status of any county paths and/or prescriptive easements needs
clarification.
vii. A resolution stating that property lines on Silent Hills Lane go to the middle of
this private road will come before the Town Council in December.
viii. Town Clerk Karen Jost will post a notice announcing an opening on the
Pathway Committee.
