SUBJECT Sacramento River Trail - Bench and Interpretive Trail Development • At the Council meeting of July 7, 1986, Councilwoman Gard inquired about an interpretive trail program for the Sacramento River Trail . Over the last several months , the Carter House Science Museum staff and several of its volunteer members have been working on a concept and have prepared in draft. form much of the narrative for an interpretive trail . They have identified several locations along the trail that are unique in demonstrating natural river ecosystems , riparian habitat, prevalent wildlife and sites of historical significance, such as Waug's Ferry and Hotel near Middle Creek. Also along the upper reaches of the Sacramento River and its tributaries are strong visual reminders of the area's rich mining history. The concept of the trail calls for (1) developing a master sign/map that introduces the trail user to the type of experience to oe found on the cram , the distance of the trail , the location of each individual sign, and any hazards along the trail such as poison oak, snakes, and the need to carry water, and (2) developing 20 signs describing the significance of the river corridor. Staff anticipates approximately ten signs on each side .of the River. The staff was particularly concerned that the signs stand up to years of exposure and abuse. To this end, special anodized aluminum signs on concrete pedestals were selected. The signs will be produced by photographing the significant site, graphically modifying a photo-negative to accentuate the importance of the site and then having the resulting art work and narrative photographically transferred tr, the anodized aluminum sign. The aluminum alloy signs stand up to years of our: e exposure and vandalism. The U. S. Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management USE similar signs for back-country trails . The signs will be orientated in a manner that allows the reader to view the subject site as they are reading the sign; reinforcing the educational value of the interpretive trail . • l Roy Maloney of Three Friends Design Studio, the firm selected by Carter House to design the interpretive trail , has prepared a model of the first sign, which will be available for review during the Council meeting. "Three Friends" also designed and developed the current display at Carter House entitled "The Sacramento River - Cycles and Changes." The concept proposed would carry over part of that theme into the interpretive trail , which would be titled "The Sacramento River Walk." STAFF REPORT ITEM NO. 2 & 3 All Members of the City Council • Page 2 August 15, 1986 r • The concept of the interpretive trail has been envisioned as a major element to the Sacramento River Trail for many years. In fact, the interpretive trail has been listed in all of the State and Federal grant applications as a major public benefit to developing the Sacramento River Trail . In addition to Carter House's integrating the interpretive trail into their programs, the staff foresees heavy use from area schools, churches, and clubs as well as the general public. Trail Benches Both the Parks and the Planning Department staff have received several comments concerning the lack of benches along the trail . Now that the trail is over 2 miles long with 3 miles planned next summer, it is appropriate to provide benches at various locations, especially for the many elderly users of the trail . The remoteness of many sections of the trail dictate that the benches also be of sturdy construction. The staff, with the assistance of the Three Friends Design Studio designed a combination concrete and redwood bench that would be durable and fit in well with the trail 's natural and man-made elements. The bench design is attached for your review. Cost estimates for de"ielopine both the interpretive trail and benches are as follows: Interpretive Trail • • Design Consulting Services $ 4,950.00 • Sign Material and installation -'6,000.00 Benches Eight concrete and redwood benches @ $400 each 3,200.00 514,150.00 The Council should note that the cost of the benches may be significantly less as the staff has been approached by several community organizations that want to build and donate benches as a community project. The cost estimates include developing the interpretive trail and benches on both the existing trail and the phases to be built next July on the southwest bank. It is estimated that the design work will take several months to finalize. The end product will be a cooperative effort between the Carter House and the Parks Department staff, a BLM archaeologist, a U. S.. Forest Service naturalist, the Shasta County Historical Society, and the design consultant.

The contract for Phase 3 required only :- $50,450 +, leaving nearly a $35,000 surplus. Unfortunately, the final design concepts and cost estimates were not available before the end of the 1985-1986 fiscal year. As a result, the surplus $35,000 in Park Development Funds was not encumbered in the fiscal year for which they were budgeted and now require a supplemental appropriation for the 1986-87 budget year. It is the recommendation of the staff that the Council authorize the project as outlined. Respectfully submitted, _ fija.,), Phillip .
