August 31, 2022. Both the City and Zone 7 agreed that a proposed License Agreement was necessary to update the underlying 50 year-old Agreement to reflect the changes it the recreational use of the trails. Zone 7 is utilizing a standardized license agreement template with the cities of Dublin, Livermore, and Pleasanton for public trails along Zone 7 maintenance roads, as the communities share similar interests and concerns. These trails play a critical role in the city's trail system and provide both a recreational benefit, and non -vehicular travel corridors, for the city and its residents. Approving the proposed 25 -year Recreational Use License Agreement will provide the city and the region with a valuable resource that not only provides access to recreation but provides alternate safe transportation routes to navigate the city. The trails provide a connection to other regional trails, such as the Iron Horse Trail. Exhibit A and Exhibits B1 through B5 of Attachment 1 show all the areas covered under the License Agreement as well as the individual trail segments currently open for public recreation. The proposed License Agreement also provides a framework for maintenance responsibilities. City staff have closely reviewed the terms with Zone 7 staff to make sure that the agreement addresses the City's interest that Zone 7 remain responsible for the clean-up of any encampments in the Arroyo, while the City is responsible for City - installed improvements. The proposed agreement includes a mechanism for making improvements to any existing trail segments and the ability to easily add future trail segments. All existing permanent facilities and landscape improvements on the Licensed Areas will be approved by Zone 7 and do not require further approvals as of the date of the proposed License Agreement. The proposed License Agreement supersedes the original agreement and any modifications made thereafter that included additional trails and term extensions and will become effective when executed by both parties. City staff recommends the City Council approve the proposed agreement and authorize the City Manager to execute all documents necessary to enter into the agreement.
