3 <br /> • Continue discussion of specific trail location and construction details with OWASA staff. <br /> Begin drafting, with Emergency Services and Sheriff's Office, an Emergency Access and <br /> Management Plan for the Cane Creek Reservoir sections. <br /> • The Friends are planning to post road routes to allow hiking connections between existing <br /> and proposed trail segments on their website. <br /> • The Friends and County staff are discussing future possibilities for coordinated outreach and <br /> ombudsman work for the MST segments in Orange County. <br /> In closing, it is important to note that negotiations of all trail easements and trail land segments <br /> involve a sometimes-lengthy series of discussions with landowners, their attorneys, the County's <br /> environmental and legal staff and management, and finally State review and approval where State <br /> funds are involved. The County must perform due diligence in any negotiation for acquisitions using <br /> public funds. As such, there are occasions where conversation and information gathering are <br /> underway and necessary but not always visible to all interested parties, until the time for official <br /> action (as per State statutes). <br /> Please let me know if we may provide additional information. <br /> Environment, Agriculture, Parks and Recreation <br /> PO Box 8181/306-A Revere Road <br /> Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br /> (919) 245-2510 <br />
