Mr. Lum said it is feasible east of Hopyard to extend the trail on the north side. This is still an option that will be reviewed as a Trail Master Plan update. Mr. Pica) asked how many residents would be upset if it went onto the north side. Mr. Lum said there are issues of greater expense because there are interceding channels on the north side that would need to be bridged in order to provide continuity. There are some other issues that may be looked at which will be part of this evaluation. Mr. Pico said there would be ample notice of the Trails Master Plan update. He said the City tries to notice everyone. Anyone absolutely wanting to make sure they are noticed directly, please let any staff member know and they will make sure that the resident gets onto the noticing list. Ms. Michelotfi said this would most likely be brought back to City Council before the end of the year. Mr. Lure said it was staff's intent to bring back to City Council the discussion the Trails Master Plan update sometime before the end of the year. Ms. Michelotti asked if an announcement could be made at future Council meeting before this item is on the agenda. Mr. Lum said that noticing is done at least ten days to two weeks prior to the meeting. Certainly with this type of project, the City will endeavor to bold some kind of neighborhood discussions as it relates to the Arroyo Mocho Ms. Michelotti assured the audience that they would be kept updated on this item. Ms. Dennis had some concerns about the unpatrolled trail and asked if either Mr. Lum or someone from the Police Depaxhnent could elaborate on the difference between the responsibilities for patrolling an open public trail versus trespassing on Zone 7's prop~ty, a private trail. She believes these issues could be solved. Tim Neal, Police Chief, said it is quite rare for police to enforce trespassing violations in this area. It is very much as the previous speaker described, joggers do not tend to prompt complaints. Although technically it is trespassing end is within the police jurisdiction, they have responded to some complaints from Zone 7 over vandalism issues, but these are quite rare. Some graffiti problems have come up with the sound walls, particularly along the 1-680 frontage, but trespassing complaints are few and far between. In researching the situation, Chief Neal said that all problems associated with the canals, the arroyo, all problems are few and far between. There have been ten reported incidents in 17 years. He said it is quite rare to have any problems along those areas. Ms. Dennis asked if this would be for both the area open to the public and not open to the public.
