that if Zone 7 did not want to fix the trail, staff would work with Zone 7. She advised if the City wanted to improve a surface type, staff would negotiate with Zone 7 but noted the City would then become responsible for its maintenance. In response to Councilmember Testa about Item 19, Director Yurchak confirmed the trail could have a higher quality surface but it would then become the City's responsibility to maintain. She confirmed this potential change would happen outside of the contract being discussed if Council directs staff to look into other surface options. In response to Councilmember Narum about Item 9, Interim City Manager Dolan clarified the City carries the fund's deficit and repays it with the following year's revenue but noted it leads to a spiraling issue where every year's income is insufficient. In response to Councilmember Balch about Item 9, Interim City Manager Dolan confirmed most of the homes were built as part of a Planned Use Development (PUD) and most of the homes would be out of compliance with their PUD. Mayor Brown opened public comment. Gary Sears stated the surface condition of the Zone 7 trails is poor and advised it took 2.5 years simply for uneven pavement warning signs to be installed at some particularly rough patches. He noted the contract for$55,000 is unrealistically low for the amount of work the trail surfaces require. Sharon Piekarski expressed pleasure that Zone 7 will allow the City to maintain trails, noting transportation corridors will become increasingly important to the Climate Action Plan 2.0 goals. She stated Zone 7's standards are insufficient to maintain safety and the pace of the maintenance is at Zone 7's discretion. Roianne Heath, President of Parents, Families, and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG) Tri-Valley, thanked the Council for its proclamation in Item 4. She stated it is important to know the City is so welcoming to the LGBTQ community by flying the Progress Pride flag for all of the month of June. Todd Nelson echoed the comments of Mr. Sears and Ms. Piekarski. He stated trail maintenance is not being done to a sufficient quality level. He advised the City should keep the connection under Interstate 580 viable to attract visitors to Pleasanton. Mayor Brown closed public comment. In response to Councilmember Arkin about Item 19, Director Yurchak clarified the trails the City improved with an asphalt surface are the City's responsibility. If the trails are merely their base rock, then the trail maintenance is Zone 7's responsibility. She clarified the trails serve two purposes, functioning as both Zone 7 access roads and City trails, but noted there are differences in the type of surface and the surface type determines whose responsibility it is to maintain each portion. In response to Mayor Brown about Item 19, Director Yurchak stated it is difficult to determine if Zone 7's trucks have damaged the City's asphalt or if it is the result of natural shifting. Parks Maintenance Superintendent Giacomo Damonte clarified Zone 7 will maintain trails to their flood control standards so long as they are passable for their machinery. He advised anything above Zone 7's standard would fall upon the City to improve and maintain recreational standards. In response to Councilmember Balch about Item 19, Parks Maintenance Superintendent Damonte clarified the City would work in conjunction with Zone 7 if the land beneath the City's asphalt is damaged.
