MATTERS OF COUNCIL INTEREST - New Business <br /> <br /> A. Presentation - Clyde Morris, Manager of Don Edwards San Francisco Bay <br /> National Wildlife Refuge; Update on Planning Activities and Public Access - <br /> Bair Island; <br /> <br /> Mr. Morris outlined the goal is to restore Bair Island to salt water marsh to provide <br /> habitat for engendered species and other native wildlife a well as to enhance the <br /> public's appreciation and awareness of the unique resources at Bair Island. He <br /> continued with the objectives and challenges with restoring Bair Island. He <br /> completed his report with a restoration and management plan draft schedule. <br /> <br /> Mr. Morris stated that before development came, the resulting marshland flooding <br /> would usually be equally divided between Steinberger Slough and Redwood <br /> Creek. He continued that because Steinberger Slough has become a relatively <br /> shallow channel with little tidal flow, its original rate of flow will be restored and will <br /> assist with sediment build-up at the Pete's Harbor section. Dredging material will <br /> be used to help build up areas to be restored in inner Bair Island. He further stated <br /> that the current three and one-half mile trail around inner Bair Island will become <br /> two trails, one in each direction. The northern levee trail will be widened to protect <br /> the City's sewer force main and will Iccp near the Bair Island property owned by <br /> San Carlos Airport. A southern trail may be developed in the current trail running <br /> behind the auto dealership which could mean Caltrans could close that entrance <br /> to the refuge, directing visitors to the parking lot near the site of the proposed <br /> Marina Shores Village. <br /> <br /> Mr. Morris gave the following draft schedule for the Bair Island Restoration and <br /> Management Plan: <br /> <br /> January 10, 2003 Distribute Draft EIS/EIR <br /> February 12, 2003 Public Meeting in Redwood City of Redwood City <br /> February 26, 2003 Close Comment Period <br /> June 2, 2003 Distribute Final EIS/EIR <br /> <br />REGULAR CITY COUNCIL & GENERAL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT BOARD AUGUST 12, 2002 <br />MINUTES PAGE 4 <br /> MINUTES Book No. 59 <br /> Page No. 230 <br /> <br /> <br />
