Steve Noyes wanted to reiterate how important Eagle Scout projects have been to the trail system. Eagle High
School Mountain Bike Team was honored by the City Council for their volunteer services. Steve Noyes stated
that a Vibratory Trencher had been purchased which is used to cut roots along the pathway.
Chairman Marshall asked how often the Vibratory Trencher will need to run down the trail. Steve Noyes
stated that the plan is to run it every 2 years and at every location.
Steve Noyes stated that 3 traffic counters were to be placed on the trails but only 1 has been .installed. At the
Garden City border there have been some delays for placing the counter due to construction and weather. The
other placement at Dry Creek is picking up cars as they go by.
Commissioner Blaine asked if Impact Fees are specified for trails and held specifically for trails or pathways.
Steve Noyes stated that yes, it's $331.00 per new lot for trails and pathways. Commissioner Blaine asked if
there is anything else within the Master Plan or city documents that provides a narrow definition for pathways.
Steve Noyes stated the city does have a definition, but it's outdated. Commissioner Blaine asked in terms of
colleting and holding impact fees, is there a limitation of when those fees need to be used. Steve Noyes stated
there are no limits, but they are only to be used for new trail construction.
Commissioner Minch asked if a subdivision builds a path, but the city maintains it, are there other breakdowns
of what qualifies as a pathway. Steve Noyes stated that yes there are, and the entire study can be provided.
Commissioner Minch stated that in 2017 there was a level of service of 2700ft per 1000 citizens, is there a
2020 expected number. Steve Noyes stated the expectation level of service is 2502 at $60 a lineal foot.
Commissioner Minch asked if there are any further negotiations with the Newman's for Eagle Island State
Park connector. Steve Noyes stated a final package is currently being worked on but cannot move forward
until Ada County advises on what can and cannot be done.

Chairman Marshall suggested that the Master Plan be redone and given to Council.
Commissioner Blaine asked if the Trails Master Plan has a component for budgeting or how to finance any of
