Trails Committee Meeting: Tuesday, May 11th, 7:30pm at NEW BELGIUM BREWERY.

On the agenda:
1. Overview of the new Trails Committee Google calendars
2. Discussing upcoming trail maintenance days: how many OMBC trail days can we do this year (Pineridge, Bobcat, etc.) and how do we want to be involved with trail days of other groups (volunteers, food, etc)
3. Budget for the above-mentioned.
4. Group discussion of reasonable trail projects to propose over the next 2 years, based on cost, relationships with the land owners, and status of the current travel management plan for that trail area.
5. Prioritize projects and assign volunteers to start researching/writing a proposal for longer-term projects. I want to be sure each team has a project brewing.
6. Look at our comprehensive list of trails thus far, making additions as needed.

* Your homework:
1. We're compiling an exhaustive spreadsheet of all the area trails, per land agency. Please bring your front range trail knowledge to help fill in some of the gaps!
2. Decide if you want to be an integral part of a *new* trail project over the next couple of years, and be prepared to step up and volunteer to help with the proposal! Great opportunity to communicate with Trails Committee team leaders, land owners, rangers, trail designers, and volunteers! Never done this before? Sweet. You're in good company. It's a learning process.

* Trails Team leaders:


If you have any information on the expiration date / re-writing of your land agency's travel management plan, please bring that information to the meeting (better yet, email it to me as well) so we as a group can discuss ways we can pro-actively be involved in the new trail development and start thinking of a timeline for doing so. Also include the main contact person and their phone number/email for that land agency. Thanks!

* Do we have a volunteer to take the minutes for this meeting? Beer may be involved....

See you Tuesday!
