the Bear Creek Bike Trail in Memory of Fred Wolff
PUBLIC HEARING:
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve renaming a portion of the Bear Creek Bike Trail between Calle Ensenada
and Calle Chillion in memory of Fred Wolff.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
There will be a cost associated with placing a plaque or plaques along the bike trail
in memory of Mr. Wolff. The type of plaque or setting has not been determined at
this time, therefore an actual cost has not been determined. Should the City
Council direct staff to place a plaque or plaques along the trail, the Quimby account
could be used to fund the plaques and installation.
CHARTER CITY IMPLICATIONS:
None.
BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:
At the June 1, 2004 City Council meeting, under Council Member Items, the City
Council discussed naming a portion of the Bear Creek Bike Trail after Fred Wolff,
the City's first mayor (see excerpt of Minutes, as provided in Attachment 1).
The Community Services Commission considered this item at the June 14, 2004
Community Services Commission meeting. The Commission is recommending the
portion of the Bear Creek Bike Trail between Calle Ensenada and Calle Chillion be
named in memory of Fred Wolff. The proposed section of trail is located at the rear
of the Wolff's resident and continues south to the next entrance to the trail at Calle
Chillion.
•
E
Mrs. Wolff stated that if the City feels inclined to put a plaque or plaques up
recognizing this portion of the trail in memory of Mr. Wolff, she would recommend
a vandal -proof sign.
FINDINGS AND ALTERNATIVES:
The alternatives available to the City Council include:
1. Approve renaming a portion of the Bear Creek Bike Trail between Calle
Ensenada and Calle Chillion in memory of Fred Wolff and direct staff to place
one or more plaques along the trail; or
2. Do not approve renaming a portion of the Bear Creek Bike Trail between Calle
Ensenada and Calle Chillion in memory of Fred Wolff; or

BUSINESS SESSION:
CONSENT CALENDAR:
STUDY SESSION:
PUBLIC HEARING:
The City Council approved the purchase of 19 acres of land zoned as Open Space
as part of the General Plan at the June 19, 2003 City Council meeting. Due to
numerous owners of the property, the title clearance resulted in a lengthy escrow.
However, the process is now complete and the City owns the 19 acres located
west of Montezuma Avenue, between Ensenada and Chillion. A park site map is
provided as Attachment 1.
The Community Services Commission hosted a meeting on December 8, 2003
requesting public input as to what amenities should be included at the park site.
Flyers were distributed to the COVE Neighborhood Association and an
announcement was printed in the December 2003 GEM.
The Commission also provided park naming forms at the December 8, 2003
Community Services Commission meeting. Attachments 2 are the forms that were
submitted by the public regarding a possible name for the park site.
At the December 8, 2003 Community Services Commission meeting, the majority
of the public responses expressed a desire to keep the park site as natural as
possible . An excerpt of the minutes is provided as Attachment 3.
After some discussion at the June 14, 2004 Community Services Commission
meeting, the Commission is recommending that the name "Bear Creek Nature
Preserve" be considered by City Council for this park site. The Commission is
recommending preservation of the area as an open space area for the future.
FINDINGS AND ALTERNATIVES:
The alternatives available to the City Council include:
1 . Approve the name "Bear Creek Nature Preserve" for the 19-acre park site on
Avenida Montezuma; or
2. Do not approve the name "Bear Creek Nature Preserve" for the 19-acre park
site on Avenida Montezuma; or
3. Provide staff with alternative direction.
