ROUTE MASTER PLAN - CSD/Rose presented staff's report which
included the following proposed maintenance costs: Urban walkway

Master Plan, the cost would be $1,000 for that component.
Recreation Trails of 5.6 miles, developed cost $1,000 per mile to

funding for a parole museum board, which raised concerns within the
community that D.B. might be housing parolees. He and ICM/DeStefano
toured the facility and looked at the material the museum will archive and
display with appropriate space. No parolees visit the facility, which is
administrative in nature. He agreed that this year's birthday celebration was
a great event.
