Subiect: Resolution Recognizing the Contribution of Austin Brockenbrough and Associates Towards Development of the Government Center Demonstration Fitness Trail County Administrator's Comments: County Administrator: Board Action Requested: Recognize Austin Brockenbrough and Associates for their contribution of surveying and design service toward development of the Government Center Demonstration Fitness Trail. Summary of Information: Austin Brockenbrough has agreed to donate surveying and design services toward construction of the trail. The Parks and Recreation Department is developing a demonstration fitness trail system on the Government Center Campus titled ~Government Center Demonstration Fitness Trail". The plan calls for a system of inter-connected trail and sidewalks linking all major areas of the complex with over six miles of soft surface trail at plan build-out. The CIP Budget provides $50,000 in funding for the first two-mile segment, to be completed in the fall of 2005. The master planning effort for the trail system involved county volunteers serving on focus groups and participating in design workshops to conceive the plan. Ten county departments serve as a technical advisory committee to assist the department in project development. The Department of Parks and Recreation has partnered with local engineering firms, vendors and the Bird High School and Technical Center students to augment funding by over 100% in goods and services. Upon completion, the project will provide a unique ~wellness" resource for the general public and County employees. Preparer: Michael S.
