UA__ RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Resolution No. 2009-316 , accepting cash donations of thirty two hundred dollars ($3,200) in support of the Adopt-A-Trail program. ITEM EXPLANATION: The Carlsbad Adopt -A-Trail program provides an opportunity for businesses, community service groups and individuals to contribute to the city's trails program through sponsorship opportunities and volunteering. Donors are encouraged to provide a monetary gift to help make the trails more enjoyable and safe for everyone. The City of Carlsbad wishes to acknowledge the generosity of Henry's Farmer's Market Place and Jimbo's for their contributions to the Adopt-A-Trail program. Through their generous contributions, the City was able to provide trail amenities that benefit all who enjoy the trails and open spaces in Carlsbad. Jimbo's Naturally The City of Carlsbad is embarking on a trail identification project for signage of all city trails that will greatly enhance the safety and way finding for all trail users. The locations for the signs once installed will correspond with GPS locations that will be linked to mapping used by police and fire. The donation from Jimbo's enabled the first installation of this trail identification system at the La Costa Glen Trail, located in south Carlsbad. An Eagle Scout partnered on this project with Jimbo's and installed 6 signs with his troop and other volunteers on November 12, 2009. (See attached Exhibit 2, photos) Henry's Farmer's Market On September 26, 2009, the Parks and Recreation Department hosted the National Public Lands Day event at Lake Calavera. The event began at 8 a.m. and ended at noon. Volunteers attending the event installed an informational kiosk, repaired trail erosion and picked up litter and trash. Participants also learned about the native habitat, invasive exotics and wildlife in the area as well as the proposed Lake Calavera Trails Master Plan (See attached Exhibit 3, photos). The Henry's donation also provided for event t-shirts that day. DEPARTMENT CONTACT: Liz Ketabian 760-434-2978 liz.ketabian@carlsbadca.gov FOR CITY CLERKS USE ONLY.
