Hello,
my
name
is
Chris
price
I'm,
an
active
Recreation
user
resident
of
Westlake
Village
and
I
enjoy
the
Open
Space
daily
with
my
family.
The
open
space
was
so
important
to
me
and
my
family,
who
decided
to
purchase
our
home
within
walking
distance
of
our
open
space.
The
Hidden
Meadow
trailhead
first
I'd
like
to
express
my
gratitude
to
the
board
for
your
public
service,
a
warm
welcome
to
our
new
board
members
and
a
sincere
thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
speak.
G
After
learning
more
of
these
meetings
discussing
challenges
and
concerns
with
our
community
and
experiencing
similar
Open
Spaces
that
have
strong
trail
alliances,
we
felt
it
was
beneficial
to
start
a
trail
Alliance
to
collectively
voice
our
interests.
Please
let
me
formally
introduce
the
ride
and
develop
Trail
Alliance,
also
known
as
rad.
We
are
currently
working
on
our
non-profit
status
and
hope
to
have
further
updates
soon.
G
G
G
Our
vision
is
to
have
a
connected
and
accessible
Trail
Network
that
serves
as
a
gateway
to
our
Recreation
nature
and
appreciation.
We
envision
our
area
becoming
a
destination
for
outdoor
enthusiasts
by
having
a
world-class
trail
system
supported
by
Innovative,
Trail,
Builders,
public
land
manager,
Partnerships
and
sustainable
practices.
G
Support
our
local
businesses
and
see
the
community
benefits
of
embracing
the
mountain
by
culture
that
permeates
so
many
aspects
of
our
cities.
We
encourage
the
board
to
think
of
us
as
it
applies
to
the
original
City
General
plan
and
the
Costco
strategic
vision
shortly.
You'll
hear
a
few
more
few
more
perspectives
from
our
founding
members.
Thank
you
for
the
time
and
looking
forward
to
working
with
you
all
special
thanks
to
Brian
Stark,
Anna,
Huber
and
Matt
Cuba
and
costac
for
listening.
Educating
us.
Thank
you.
Thank.

H
H
The
access
to
open
space
is
not
only
vital
to
the
mental
health
of
the
community,
but
it
moves
members
of
the
community
to
see
the
value
in
protecting
nature
for
future
generations
to
enjoy
rad
trial.
Alliance
was
formed
to
address
the
concerns
of
a
growing
segment
of
Trail
users
as
a
trail
Runner.
My
desires
and
expectations
of
trail
conditions
are
different
from
those
as
a
mountain
biker.
H
As
a
mountain
biker,
I'm
adverse
to
ruts
appreciate
good
line
of
sight
and
desire
to
have
trails
that
facilitate
the
growth
of
my
skills
as
mountain
bikers.
We
are
asking
Costco
to
hear
our
values
out
and
to
work
with
us
to
find
ways
in
which
to
facilitate
the
growth
of
our
community
rad
trial.
Alliance
is
asking
Costco
to
let
us
participate
in
the
maintenance
of
our
trail
system.
Two
annual
volunteer
days
a
year
is
simply
not
enough.
H
If
you've
ever
tried
to
fill
a
red
in
in
the
middle
of
summer,
you
know
how
important
it
is
to
align
your
Trail
maintenance
with
the
whims
of
Nature,
and
it
is
nearly
impossible
for
a
huge
volunteer
body
to
organize
around
the
weather.
In
my
experience,
mountain
bikers
are
the
most
attentive
group
of
Trail
users.
When
it
comes
to
trail
conditions,
we
have
a
lot
to
offer.
Costco
should
cost
be
willing
to
give
the
green
light
on
extracurricular
Terrell
maintenance.
H
We
are
also
asking
Costco
to
consider
our
vision
to
create
a
trail
exclusively
for
mountain
bikers.
This
Trail
would
be
maintained
by
volunteers
from
our
community
and
supported
by
our
local
businesses.
This
is
important
for
us,
not
only
because
the
enjoyment
we
know
it
will
bring
us
as
individuals,
but
also
because
of
the
greater
growth
of
community
and
well-being.
We
know
it
will
Foster.
F
I
have
also
gotten
the
opportunity
to
ride
and
race
in
various
locations
throughout
California
and
across
the
country
such
as
Winter
Park
Colorado.
These
experience
has
these
experiences
have
opened
my
eyes
to
a
greater
vision
for
our
trail
system.
Overall
I
want
us
to
have
the
best
trails
to
develop
our
Riders
and
progress.
Our
athleticism.
F
I
think
we
can
all
work
together
to
create
a
more
Progressive
and
sustainable
trail
system,
with
better
infrastructure
to
support
our
team
and
other
recreational
users,
which
is
why
I'm
involved
with
TR
rad
Trail
lines.
We
currently
have
over
125
kids
on
the
high
school
mountain
biking
team
that
would
all
benefit
from
having
a
stronger
Trail
infrastructure
and
maybe
even
a
local
competition.
F
B
B
I
Ahead,
yes,
thank
you
yeah.
This
is
a
chair
skate
mentioned
because
it's
not
in
agenda.
We
really
can't
Converse
back
and
forth,
but
I
just
want
to
mention
I'm,
just
thrilled
to
have
you
all
with
us
tonight.
You
know
often
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
people
here
and
I.
Think
it's
because
people
just
take
our
open
space
for
granted
that
it's
just
out
there
to
enjoy,
and
it
just
kind
of
happens
by
itself,
and
it's
usually
when
something
doesn't
go
right.
I
People
come
to
complain
and
it's
usually
you
know
a
couple
people
but
I'd
see
a
group.
That's
self-engaged
is
very
encouraging
and
we
we
have
heard
from
staff
that
you've
been
working
with
them
and
appreciate
that
and
I
know
we
were
trying
to
kind
of
transition
from
just
being
an
owner
of
open
space
to
actually
being
actively
engaged.
I
know.
Matt
kubas
could
probably
tell
you
exactly
all
that
they
do
every
day,
but
I
just
want
to
say.
I
Thanks
for
coming
and
I
know,
you
are
speaking
with
our
staff
at
what
a
current
urge
that
keep
that
communication
open
and
you
know,
they'll
work
with
us
and
then,
if
something
does
come
on
the
agenda,
where
we
can
actually,
you
know,
work
together
and
and
have
a
discussion,
open
discussion
back
and
forth.
But
again
just
want
to
thank
you
all
for
being
here
and
I.
Don't
know
if
you're
all
here
for
that
or
not,
but
nonetheless,
obviously
there's
a
handful
of
you
I.
Just
thank
you
for
being
here.
B
A
E
B
K
Good
evening,
thank
you
for
your
patience.
There
grabbing
the
staff
report,
as
is
customary
with
the
Costco
board
at
the
beginning
of
each
year.
Our
first
February
meeting
we
do
elect
a
new
chair
and
vice
chair
and
that's
in
accordance
with
the
provisions
of
article
eight
of
the
Costco
joint
powers
agreement.
B
B
B
B
B
Good
yeah,
we
typically
have
rotate
between
a
city,
council,
member
and
a
Park
Board
member
from
a
vice.
Chair
next
item
is
the
annual
financial
report
for
fiscal
year.
2021
I'm.
Sorry,
let
me
I
go
back.
We
need
to
appoint
a
board
secretary
and
Mr.
Starkett
was
appointed
last
time.
Do
we
have
a
nomination
for
board
secretary.
J
M
M
Costco's
net
position
increased
three
million
dollars
to
1991
sorry,
90.1
million
at
fiscal
year
end
program
revenues
increase
1.2
million
compared
to
Prior
fiscal
year,
primarily
due
to
0.9
million
in
capital
grants
and
contributions,
and
0.4
million
increase
in
operating
grants
and
contributions.
General
revenues
remained
consistent
at
0.1
million
program.
M
Expenses
remained
relatively
consistent
between
fiscal
year
2122
and
fiscal
year,
2021
at
2.2
million,
as
the
increase
of
0.4
million
in
maintenance
and
operations
was
offset
by
0.4
billion
decrease
in
land
Parcels
donated
to
the
kanejo
recreation
and
parks
District
in
the
prior
fiscal
year,
Costco
ended
with
10.4
million
dollars
in
cash
and
Investments
That
is
held
for
future
open
space,
Acquisitions
and
maintenance.
This
is
a
slight
decrease
of
less
than
forty
thousand
dollars
compared
to
Prior
fiscal
year.
M
B
K
K
The
intent
of
the
seller
at
this
at
that
time
was
to
convey
the
remainder
of
the
partial
lot
to
the
adjacent
landowner.
After
the
execution
of
the
purchase
agreement,
it
was
determined
that
the
remainder
property
to
be
conveyed
to
the
neighboring
landowner
would
have
become
an
illegal
lot
if
Costco
had
purchased
it
by
a
grant
deed.
So
it
could
not
be
conveyed
legally.
K
The
effect
of
the
proposed
amendment
would
reduce
the
area
to
be
acquired
to
2.76
Acres.
So
what
we're
really
chopping
off
is
about
400
4441
square
feet.
So
it's
not
a
vast
area.
The
pr
the
purchase
price
reduction
for
the
project
is
prorated
by
the
square
foot
for
the
4441
square
feet,
that's
being
withdrawn.
The
adjusted
purchase
price
is
289,
333
dollars
and
that's
a
reduction
of
ten
thousand
six
hundred
and
sixty
seven
dollars.
All
other
conditions
of
the
purchase
agreement
will
remain.
K
B
J
B
K
A
K
K
It's
clear
from
some
of
these
vehicles
that
many
residents
are
not
aware
of
which
vehicle
types
are
permitted
on
Costco
trails
and
which
are
not.
This
presentation
is
intended
to
explain
Costco's
vehicle
policies,
bicycle
and
e-bike
policy
and
share
the
challenges
in
enforcing
current
policies
and
recommend
and
to
recommend
policy
clarification
that
will
help
the
community
better
understand
vehicle
use,
rules
on
open
space.
K
K
K
K
K
Well,
the
California
vehicle
code,
section
231
defines
a
bicycle
and
in
California
specifically
they
say
an
e-bike
is
a
bicycle.
Now,
what
is
an
e-bike
California's
vehicle
code?
Section
312.5
defines
what
is
legally
considered
an
e-bike
and
vehicles
not
meeting
these
definitions
or
not
e-bikes,
so
they
fit
into
other
categories.
At
this
point,
I'll
direct
you
to
The
Graphic,
because
this
is
where
the
state
defines
different
classes
of
e-bikes
and
I.
Think
this
is
something
that
the
Public's
not
necessarily
broadly
aware
of
but
a
class
one.
K
A
Class
2
bike
is
also
a
low
speed,
but
it's
a
throttle,
assisted
electric
bicycle,
it's
equipped
with
a
motor
that
may
be
used
exclusively
to
propel
the
bicycle
and
is
not
capable
of
providing
assistance.
When
the
bicycle
reaches
the
speed
of
20
miles.
An
hour,
a
class
3,
electric
bicycle
or
speed,
pedal,
assisted,
electric
bicycle
is
a
bicycle
equipped
with
a
motor
that
provides
assistance
only
when
the
rider
is
pedaling
and
seizes
to
provide
assistance
when
the
bicycle
reaches
the
speed
of
28
miles
an
hour
and
it's
equipped
with
a
speedometer.
K
So
this
is
the
class
system.
So
when
you
hear
about
class
1,
Class,
2
and
class
3
e-bikes,
this
is
what
they're
referring
to
in
the
state's
definition.
All
of
these
are
considered
bicycles,
but
only
one
of
these
classes
actually
well.
Two
of
these
classes
require
human
power
to
run
and
that's
class.
One
and
class
three.
K
The
class
threes
are
prohibited,
mainly
because
of
the
the
higher
speed
most
traditional
e-mountain
bikes
that
you
see
out
on
the
trails
are
class,
one
e-bikes,
there's
sort
of
a
diminishing
return
in
power.
If
you're
like
really
want
to
be
mountain
biking,
as
opposed
to
be
doing
something
else
what's
challenging
out
on
the
open
space,
though,
is
is
sometimes
you
can't
always
tell
by
looking
so
here's
a
quick
quiz
of
which
of
these
is
an
e-bike
I'll.
Let
you
answer
in
your
head:
we
won't
go
too
deep
into
it.
K
But
technically
well
a
is
an
e-bike,
that's
a
class
two
bike:
it's
got
a
750
watt
motor
and
a
throttle.
Number
c
is
your
traditional
e
mountain
bike.
That's
a
class
one
e-bike
now
D
is
questionable,
because
this
brand
makes
the
same
morphology
of
a
bike
in
various
different
powers,
so
it
may
or
may
not
be,
but
generally
they
do
have
throttles
on
them
so
that
it
could
be
a
class
to
you,
but
it
could
be
something
else.
K
K
Both
we
have
is
potential
enforcers
of
our
ordinance,
but
also
for
consumers
as
well.
We're
not
entirely
sure
most
consumers,
when
they're
out
shopping
for
e-bike,
really
know
what
the
best
bike
is
you
to
go
out
on
Costco,
open
space
and
I
think
that
that's
sort
of
there's
a
lot
of
these
bikes
that
are
not
technically
e-bikes.
The
state
defines
them,
but
their
Market
is
such
so
it's
pretty
confusing
and
I'm,
not
sure
Costco
is
going
to
illuminate
the
nation.
Necessarily
on
this.
It's
a
it's.
K
Just
this
kind
of
a
Roundup
of
what
electric
vehicles
are
permitted
on
Costco
property
and
it
the
class
one
e-bikes
are
considered
bicycles
as
far
as
we're
concerned
and
that's
based
on
our
subscription
to
the
California
vehicle
code
definition
most
electric
bikes
are
made
by
established.
Plant
brands
are
class,
one
e-bikes.
K
We
prohibit
the
class
to
e-bikes
as
they're.
Not
they
don't
fit
our
current
definition
because
they're
they
can
be
run
without
human
power
class.
Three
are
prohibited
due
to
their
speed,
then
there's
this
whole
other
area
of
what
they
call
out
of
class
electric
vehicles.
So
this
is.
These
are
bikes
that
look
very
much
like
an
e-bike,
but
they
can
be
either
they
can
be
class
on
demand,
which
means
they
don't
subscribe
to
any
class.
So
if
they
can't
commit
to
a
class,
then
we
can't
commit
to
allowing
them.
K
But
these
generally
have
you
know
they
can
do
throttle.
You
know
throttles
at
higher
speeds,
so
28
miles
an
hour
on
throttle.
So
we
also
do
have
the
electric
motorcycles-
and
this
is
you
know-
probably
becoming
one
of
our
biggest
issues
on
open
space
is
that
we
have
bikes
that,
with
the
definition
being
750
watts
is
the
top
wattage.
But
some
of
these
bikes
have
have
three
to
six
thousand
watts
and
they're
capable
of
you
know:
40
50,
mile
an
hour
speeds.
K
They
have
big
tires
and
high
torque
and
they're
they're
rough
on
Trails
and
they're
and
they're
dangerous
to
our
shared
Trail
users.
Other
electric
vehicles
we've
seen
them
out
there.
We
did
see
a
group
of
five
electric
unicycles
I
mean
you,
don't
see
that
every
day,
there's
these
these
one-wheel
vehicles,
skateboards
hoverboards
and
scooters,
not
a
whole
lot
of
those
I.
Think
what
we're
seeing
that's
the
toughest
for
us
are
these
electric
motorcycles.
K
Increased
vehicle
speeds
do
expose
other
Trail
users
to
Danger.
Costco's
trails
are
multi-use
Trails,
so
we
share
them
with
horses
and
hikers.
So
moderating.
Speed
is
important,
like
I
said
before
high
torque
plus
big
tires
equals
Trail
damage,
we're
also
seeing
a
proliferation
of
illegal
junk
track,
Construction
trail
alteration
and
environmental
damage.
Some
of
this
we
believe
to
be
linked
with
some
of
these
higher
power
vehicles,
although
not
exclusively.
K
Now
we
we
have
no
doubt
that
these
vehicles
are
really
fun.
So
it's
not
that
we
don't
recognize
fun.
We
just
think
that
they're
more
appropriate
for
areas
that
are
designated
for
them
in
terms
of
Trail
damage,
Costco
manages
170
miles
of
trails
and
we
have
10
Rangers
right
now
and
and
honestly,
it's
a
tall
order
to
keep
up
with
what
we're
doing
and
that's
why
we
welcome
our
mountain
biking
Community
to
become
involved,
because
we
have
a
lot
to
do
and
we
could
use
some
help.
K
K
The
research
on
them
shows
that
they
don't
cause
any
additional
Trail
damage
than
a
regular
bike
and
average
speeds
While.
Most
people
think
the
new
bike
is
doing
a
whole
lot
faster,
they're
generally,
not
in
fact,
the
research
on
these
show
that
the
downhill
speeds
of
an
electric
mountain
bike
are
somewhat
slower
than
than
the
regular
non-electrified
bike,
and
that's
probably
just
due
to
the
nimbleness
of
a
a
bike
that
doesn't
weigh
50
pounds.
K
So
we,
you
know
the
essential
thing
here
is
they
do
recommend
that
before
people
buy
an
electric
bike
that
they
contact
their
local
Land
Management
agencies
and
just
find
out,
what's
allowed
we've
been
doing
some
social
media
outreach?
We've
prepared
a
page
on
Costco's
website
that
discusses
electric
bikes
and
which
vehicles
are
allowed.
K
We're
recommending
that
we
update
the
language
used
in
the
Costco
ordinance
to
include
the
permitted
e-bikes.
It's
a
term
everybody's
using
now
and
just
to
be
specific,
we
should
include
some
language
in
our
policy
that
makes
this
clear,
we'll
continue
public
Outreach
to
inform
consumers
about
how
to
pick
the
best
bike
and
we'll
work
with
local
legislative
efforts
to
better
Define
power.
You
know,
Power,
electric
vehicle
types
and
part
of
the
the
legislation
is
there:
is
legislation
being
introduced
to
develop
some
classifications
for
some
of
these
other
vehicles?
K
A
lot
of
the
vehicles
that
are
being
driven
around
town,
like
these
little
motorcycles,
aren't
street
legal.
So
that
becomes
a
an
issue
too
just
for
our
local
policing
and
safety.
So
I
hope
this
primer
has
helped.
You
understand
what
how
Costco
abuse
electric
vehicles
and
and
our
policy-
and
we
look
forward
to
coming
to
you
in
May,
with
some
proposed
ordinance
language
updates.
K
We
don't
see
this.
We
don't
see
the
need
to
change
a
policy
right
now.
Today
we
do
allow
the
class
one
electric
mountain
bike
based
on
its
definition,
is
because
it's
still
essentially
human
powered.
You
got
to
Pedal
it
to
go
and
it
meets
the
power
requirements.
We
just
want
to
make
this
more
explicit.
I
Yes,
I
think
I
do
have
a
few
questions.
Thank
you,
Mr
Stark,
for
that
I
just
was
curious.
Looking
at
the
various
models
of
of
e-bikes
that
you
had
listed
there
or
shown
in
the
in
the
photo
is,
is
there
any
correlation
between
bikes
that
look
like
a
mountain
bike
or
bikes
that
look
like
a
road
bike
or
bikes
that
look
like
a
BMX
bike
as
far
as
what
class
they're
in
or
is
it
really
just
across
the
board?
Well,.
K
I
think
that's
the
general
confusion
here.
Is
there
across
the
board,
although
some
look
very
much
like
motorcycles,
so
those
seem
fairly
obvious
and
the
speed
at
which
they
ride
makes
them
identifiable.
I.
Think
your
differences
between
a
you
know
say
a
class
one
in
a
class
two
bike.
You
know
at
site
from
a
distance
it's
hard
to
identify,
so
it
does
present
issues
in
terms
of
trying
to
enforce
the
ordinances
right
now.
Costco's
enforcement
priority
isn't
so
much
about
trying
to
split
the
difference
between
a
class
one
and
a
Class
2
bike.
I
Okay
and
then
another
question
I
had
I
read
recently
that
there
was
legislation
past
at
the
state
level
to
encourage
e-bikes
to
use
trails
and
that
there
is
I,
don't
know
if
this
was
actually
passed
or
or
introduced
and
I
don't
know
if
you're
familiar
with
it,
where
it
was
to.
You
know,
allow
people
to
gain
access
more
to
Trail
use,
and
so,
therefore
it
was
trying
to
keep
local
agencies
from
restricting
issues.
Are
you
familiar
with
that
or
did.
K
K
Just
we
don't
I,
are
you
know
our
guidance
policies?
Don't
lead
us
to
oversign
things,
so
we
don't
do
too
much.
We
do
believe
it
would
be
helpful
to
have
some
signage
at
the
trail.
Heads
that
inform
people
about
the
allowed
vehicles
for
45
years
cost
has
depended
on
the
community,
working
together
with
the
various
user
groups
to
ride
and
use
the
trails
respectfully
of
each
other,
and
it's
worked.
We
are
seeing
increased
numbers
of
bicyclists
on
the
open
space.
K
The
thing
covid
made
a
lot
of
people
discover
the
beauty
of
the
outdoors
and
how
much
fun
mountain
biking
really
is,
and
the
grand
scheme
of
thing
that's
a
really
good
thing.
That's
great
for
Community,
Health
and-
and
you
know,
I-
don't
want
it
to
sound
like
we
don't
want
mountain
bikers,
because
we
like
mountain
bikers
and
most
of
us
mountain
bike
ourselves,
so
I
think
we
need
to
Double
Down,
On,
Our,
Community,
Education
and
there's
a
new
generation
of
people
that
maybe
didn't
grow
up
with
this
idea
of
sharing.
K
So
you
know,
we
hope,
to
you
know,
keep
communicating
with
our
Trail
use
community.
We
like
that.
So
much
of
our
Trail
use
Community
is
here
tonight
that
we
can
communicate
directly
with
you,
but
we
think
that
a
lot
of
this
is
not
so
much
about
at
the
end
of
the
day
when
we're
talking
bikes,
it's
not
so
much
about
what
bikes
someone's
on
it's
about
the
courtesy
with
which
they
ride
it
and,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
I
think
that's
what
makes
the
difference
I
think
education
is
our
our
biggest
feature.
Effort
here.
I
And
yet,
if
you
ask
the
sheriff's
department
to
stop
by
and
give
us
a
hand,
it's
probably
not
real
high
on
their
list
of
priorities,
and
so
it's
a
big
challenge
for
us
so
appreciate
all
that
we
can
do
whether
it's
interacting
with
our
with
our
citizenry,
particularly
the
users
or
again
those
those
throughout
the
area.
Look
forward
to
hearing
what
you
have
to
say,
but
thank
you
for
the
presentation.
Thank.
B
You,
madam
chair,
note
that
National
Park
Service
recently
and
state
parks
recently
have
permitted
class
one
e-bikes
and
the
mrca
amended
our
ordinance
to
also
permit
class
1
e-bikes
on
Trails
sort
of
it.
Recognizing
it's
a
trend
that
the
tidal
wave
was
coming.
There
was
no
no
holding
it
back
well,.
N
J
So,
thank
you,
madam
chair
Mr.
Stark.
Thank
you
for
the
good
presentation,
the
it's
been
a
source
of
Pride
I,
think
in
in
the
coneo
that
we
have
the
shared
use.
Trails,
you
know
I'm,
not
a
mountain
biker.
Sorry,
but
I
I
do
enjoy
the
trails
as
a
hiker
and
have
for
the
last
25
years.
So
I'm
I'm
curious.
J
K
Well,
I
think,
as
I
mentioned
in
response
to
director
Nichols,
educating
the
consumer
about
buying
the
right
bike
and
educating
the
community
about
you
know
what
bikes
are
allowed
is
is
our
first
line
here,
our
policies,
you
know
you
know
part
of
the
value
of
having
that
policy
is
I
mean
we
hope
nobody
ever
gets
gets
injured
from.
You
know
a
bike
that
doesn't
belong,
but
you
know
when,
when
that
happens,
if
you
know
our,
we
want
our
policies
to
support
the
injured
parties.
K
If
someone's
riding
a
bike,
that's
not
permitted,
we
may
with
our
you
know,
our
range
Air
Force
is
out
there
and
they
they
do
interact
with
these
writers.
Pretty
often
you
know,
and
if
they're,
usually
you
know
counseled
on
what
what's
allowed,
we
don't
like
I
mentioned
before
we're.
Not
sure
standing
out
with
the
ticket
book
is
the
is
the
answer
here.
We
hope
our
local
biking
Community
will
support
our
policies
and
that
they
can
be
kind
of
self-enforcing
for
the
most
part.
J
Yeah
I
think
my
experience
with
with
cyclists
bike
bikes
on
Trails
has
been
nothing
but
cordial.
It's
it's
great
and
I
love
seeing
the
multi-use
is
there.
Is
there
a
plan
in
place
or
you
have
any
ideas
of
how
we're
going
to
get
the
word
out
to
all
of
our
Trail
users
as
to
how
we're
gonna
update
our
interactions.
K
You
know
a
lot
of
this
is
just
you
know,
ensuring
that
everybody
knows
what
they're
buying,
but
yeah
we'll
continue
to
do.
Do
Outreach
and
to
the
extent
that
we
can
get
assistance
from
other
community
groups,
I
think
we
you
know
for
us,
you
know
we're
not.
We
may
not
reach
everybody
through.
You
know
the
Costco
social
channels
or
our
website,
but
we
think
broadening
the
scope
of
our
Messengers
will
be
a
big
part
of
that
I.
B
K
Frequent
bikers
do
hold
on
to
them,
and
we
know
from
all
from
our
what
we
hear
from
our
Trail
users.
Is
people
really
do
appreciate
the
Bell
we've
distributed
about
twelve
and
a
half
thousand
of
them
over
the
last
couple
years
and
we'll
just
kind
of
continue
to
do
it,
because
we
think
it's
a
it's
a
fairly
effective,
low-cost
program
that
does
improve
Trail
safety,
yeah.
J
J
F
E
K
Not
that
I'm,
currently
aware
of
but
I
have
heard
that
some
of
our
local
retailers
have
considered
putting
on
e-bike
clinics
and
I.
Think
that's
that's
a
positive
thing,
I
think
just
interacting
with
consumers,
and
you
know
the
first
time
you
get
on
an
e-bike,
it's
kind
of
a
trip
it.
You
know
it's
a
different
kind
of
vehicle
and
you
know
there's
a
reason
why
they
say
you
know:
don't
use
the
turbo
mode
on
a
single
track,
because
that
thing
will
Buck
like
a
horse
if
in
the
right
conditions,
so
I
think
Rider.
K
K
E
Mtb
skills,
the
reason
I'm
asking
just
as
a
personal
observation.
My
perception
is
that
e-bike
Riders,
as
a
group,
tend
to
have
a
lower
skill
level
than
mountain
bike
riders,
particularly
because
it's
it's
perceived,
I,
don't
know
if
this
is
valid
or
not,
but
it's
perceived
as
a
a
lower
barrier
to
entry
where
mountain.
K
K
E
E
K
B
N
Thank
you,
church
and
members
of
the
board
good
evening.
I
have
a
brief,
PowerPoint
our
Trail
watch
and
adopt
and
Trail
volunteers
logged
the
following
hour
since
we
last
met
so
for
November
and
December
of
2022.
Trail
watch
had
56
reports
and
77
hours
donated
and
adopt
a
trail
had
48
reports
and
64
hours
donated.
N
That
brings
our
total
for
2022
to
398
reports
and
655
hours
for
trail
watch
and
329
reports
and
486
hours
for
adopt
a
trail
and
for
2023
we're
off
to
a
really
great
start,
despite
all
the
rain
we
had
this
month.
So
the
totals
for
January
Trail
watch
are
32
reports
and
47
hours
and
adopt
a
trail
volunteers
logged
34
reports
in
38
hours.
K
So
I
had
the
pleasure
last
weekend
to
spend
a
Saturday
morning
with
students
from
the
Oak
Park
High
School,
Wildfire
prevention
and
restoration
club,
and
we
went
out
with
about
seven
people
out
in
the
Ling
Ranch
area
and
planted
about
600
acorns
to
re-oke
the
areas
that
burnt
in
the
Woolsey
fire.
This
is
actually
a
photo
from
last
year,
where
our
volunteers
are
admiring.
A
patch
of
Oaks
that
came
from
our
first
year,
Acorn
planting
we
planted
in
we
went
out.
K
I
went
out
expecting
to
plant
in
the
area
we
went
to
First
about
four
years
ago
was
our
first
planting
with
the
club
and
I
hadn't
actually
ever
been
out
to
see
what
happened
to
it
and
I
figured
we'd
have
to
go
out
and
replant
it
again.
When
we
went
there,
there's
a
forest.
The
young
oak
trees
coming
up
about
three
feet
tall,
so
those
were
areas
that
had
very
high
burn
intensity
during
the
Woolsey
fire
and
where
we
did
lose
a
lot.
A
high
number
of
mature
oak
trees.
So
it's
exciting
to
see.
K
B
O
Good
evening,
everyone
welcome
new
members
before
I
start
my
slideshow
I'm
going
to
preface
this
because
there's
a
couple
pictures
in
here
that
might
be
upsetting
to
some
of
the
attendees
so
but
anyway,
so
yeah
for
the
the
new
members
I
end
every
slideshow
with
a
sunset,
but
I
get
to
start
this
one
with
the
sunrise
and
the
beautiful
rainbow
from
a
couple
weeks
ago,
and
we
really
needed
it.
The
trails
needed
it.
O
The
plants
needed
it
so
were
working
on
cleaning
up
after
a
lot
of
that,
that's
Lake,
Eleanor
I,
don't
think
it's
breached
the
the
dam
in
in
10
or
15
years.
I,
don't
remember,
I!
Think
I
was
a
ranger
when
it
reached
last
time.
So,
but
the
channel
that
we
cut
in
years
ago,
closest
to
you
on
the
right
side,
has
really
kept
the
water
level
lower.
It
got
to
a
lower
level,
much
faster
with
that,
so
the
work
that
we've
done
in
clearing
the
spillway
really
paid
off
in
the
water
flow.
O
So
we're
going
to
continue
doing
that
when
the
water
is
down.
We
continue
to
pull
out
the
Cattails
and
tools
and
such
this
is
on
the
I
believe
the
Los
Robles
Trail,
a
lot
of
water
came
through
the
town
in
a
short
period
of
Time,
created
quite
a
few
ruts
through
the
town
and
go
ahead
Brian.
So
that's
that's
one
of
the
repairs
on
I
can't
tell
which
Trail
possibly
Rosewood,
but
and
then
this
is
actually
Los.
O
Robles
Trail
Rangers
moved
in
10
ton
of
rock
to
fill
in
that
that
hole
and
then
top
dressed
it
with
local
soils
a
lot
of
work,
but
we
have
this
to
look
forward
to,
and
some
of
these
are
popping
up
already
and
I
highly
recommend
getting
out
at
a
slower
Pace
than
mountain
bikes
and
get
to
see
the
flowers
that
are
out
there,
because
it's
it's
going
to
be
a
spectacular
spring.
So
live
it
up.
Okay,
this
is
the
one
so
Brian
alluded
to
it.
O
We've
had
a
lot
of
of
jumps
and
stuff
being
built
on
open
space
and
the
it's
quite
damaging
to
the
open
space,
it's
damaging
to
the
plants,
the
trails
and
and
everything
it
is
a
felony.
This
one
was
especially
a
felony
level.
It
took
six
Rangers
more
than
two
days
to
clean
this
up:
we've
rehabbed
it
with
seeds
and
overseeded
it,
and
hopefully
it
comes
back
a
bit,
and
so
that's
that's
been
a
lot
of
this
early
winter
time,
for
the
Rangers
has
been
doing
that
earlier.
O
This
year
we
started
using
a
program
called
the
sauna
for
tracking
work
for
the
Rangers.
If
any
of
you
are
into
math,
you
notice
that
the
X
and
Y
axis
don't
really
have
a
lot
of
information
on
it.
It's
just
some
really
cool
things
that
go
up.
This
is
the
first
graph
that
we
developed
after
this
year.
Stick
with
us
next
year,
we're
going
to
have
some
paragraphs
to
show
you
what
having
the
newer
Rangers
on
with
us
are
doing
and
you're
going
to
see
some
really
good
numbers
and
better
X
and
Y.

O
O
So
we're
going
to
start
a
volunteer
now
volunteer
training
we're
going
to
be
using
current
Costco
board
members
as
the
guinea
pigs
for
the
next
couple
months,
trying
to
figure
out
if
we're
doing
it
right,
it'll
give
a
history
of
Costco
basic
ecology,
Birds
Plants,
shumash,
Trail
ethics
and
we're
I'm
excited
about
it,
because
that's
my
past
and
I
want
to
see
it
come
here
to
Costco,
and
we
now
have
the
ranger
staff
abilities
to
to
be
able
to
do
that.
So
I'm
I'm
beyond
excited
about
it
and
there's
your
Sunset.
I
Nichols,
thank
you
for
the
update.
Mr
Cool
appreciate
that
I'm
sure
there
was
a
lot
more
flooding
repairs
that
you
needed
to
take
care
of.
But
some
of
the
highlights
appreciate
that
when
you
mentioned
the
trail
work
day,
it
reminded
me
of
comments
that
one
of
our
speakers
mentioned
about
you
know
trying
to
get
additional
work
days
and
I
know
from
past
experience.
I
The
mountain
bike
group
probably
do
more
to
the
trails
that
need
repairs
than
anybody
else,
but
they're
also
the
most
active
in
repairing
the
trails
more
than
anybody
else
so
appreciate
their
ongoing
efforts.
Is
there
opportunities
to
get
what
I'll
just
call
a
guided
work
Trail
for
a
select
group
where
you
have
a
small
task
with
a
small
group?
That's
trustworthy,
which
only
maybe
takes
a
ranger
or
two
as
opposed
to
the
whole
Cadre
is.
Is
that
something
you've
ever
attempted
in
the
past?
O
Some
of
the
pre-meetings
prior
to
this,
we
we
did
discuss
it.
We,
the
Rangers,
are
all
state
California,
State
trail
trained,
as
am
I
for
trail
construction
design,
and
we
we're
going
to
put
on
a
little
miniature
Trail
maintenance
program
in
the
springtime
and
we've
we've
talked
about
inviting
some
of
these
folks
out
for
that
also
part
of
the
naturalist
or
the
volunteer
training,
we're
also
planning
on
doing
monthly
work
parties
throughout
the
year.
We
don't
have
those
lined
out
yet,
but
that's
that's
in
the
beginning
stages
and
I've
always
felt
comfortable.
O
L
I
I
B
P
So
there's
10
cities
in
Ventura
County,
but
there's
25,
Special
Districts.
So
that's
a
feat.
That's
pretty
cool
Chuck,
but
I
also
wanted
to
mention
on
March
10th,
because
I
think
we
have
a
handful
of
people
here
that
might
be
interested
March
10th
we're
having
the
grand
sort
of
reopening
of
the
teen
center
and
the
backyard
and
I
got
a
skate
park
and
a
band
like
area
and
stuff
but
sitting
on
Stacy.
P
It's
a
it's
a
band,
a
couple:
kids
from
Newbury
Park,
they've
done,
opening
for
sort
of
national
touring
acts
and
stuff.
So
they're
going
to
be
playing
it's
free,
so
I'm
hoping
we
get
it.
We
can
get
the
the
teen
center
going
again.
So
is
a
several
million
dollar
Improvement.
The
backyard
is
pretty
awesome
now.
So
sorry.
B
J
Just
a
quick
comment:
I'm
I'm
very
happy
to
be
on
this
board.
It's
been
an
interest
of
mine
for
a
number
of
years.
Back
in
the
days
when
I
was
on
cost
DAC
helping
the
trails
and
that
sort
of
thing
really
looking
forward
to
working
with
all
of
you
and
enhancing
this
Jewel,
we
call
our
open
space
so
looking
forward
to
it.
Thank.
I
Yeah
and
I
was
going
to
welcome
our
new
board
members,
although
they
have
a
lot
of
experience.
Mr
England
has
been
with
the
city
council
for
a
while
Mr
Newman
is
new
to
our
city
council.
So
welcome
to
the
city
council
as
well,
but
he's
a
long-term
planning
commissioner
and
knows
the
city
very
well
he's
also
a
road
bicyclist,
so
he
he
knows
about
Intermodal
transportation,
so
glad
to
have
you
both
on
board.
Welcome,
yes,.
