The City and the District seek to clarify maintenance responsibilities regarding the paved trail and landscape improvements on this section of the IHT. The County of Alameda (County) owns the former Southern Pacific Railroad corridor and the District is under a License Agreement with the County to operate the Iron Horse Regional Trail between Interstate 580 and Valley Ave. The proposed Sublicense Agreement will formalize the City and District's arrangement and clarify maintenance responsibilities of the IHT between Santa Rita Road and Valley Avenue. The term of this Sublicense Agreement shall run concurrently with the License Agreement between the County and District, which commenced on December 15, 1998, for an initial twenty-five years and extended another ten years until December 14, 2033. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution (Attachment 1) to approve the Iron Horse Trail Sublicense Agreement (Attachment 2) with East Bay Regional Park District and authorize the City Manager to sign all necessary documents. FINANCIAL STATEMENT There is no fiscal impact associated with approving the new Sublicense Agreement. The maintenance items described in the new Sublicense Agreement are already programmed and accounted for based on the previous informal understanding of maintenance responsibilities with the District.
