Discussion Comment
Comments will be limited to three minutes per person and not more than ten minutes per subject, so that everyone can be heard and may be further limited at the discretion of the Chair of the Board if the number of commentors reasonably so requires. “Public comment” time is limited to matters under the jurisdiction of the Agency that may not have been considered by the Agency previously and are not on the agenda. No action will be taken. Members of the public may also comment during specific agenda items when recognized by the Chair.
Special Presentation: Master Plan Appendix H - Environmental Protection and Compliance Review
Discussion Comment View Item
Staff will present a new appendix to the draft Master Plan for the Great Redwood Trail entitled "Appendix H - Environmental Protection and Compliance Review." Appendix H provides an overview of state and federal environmental regulations that may apply to trail segment development and describes the step-by-step review process GRTA will use when a Great Redwood Trail segment is ready for development. The process will ensure each segment aligns with the Master Plan, protects environmental and tribal cultural resources, and complies with state and federal laws.
