7. Trisha Swanson asked Steve about the status of a trail segment off of Ascension Street on
Bull Mountain.
Steve reported that the trail in question is not, at the present time, a completed city trail. It is
being worked on by private citizens. City staff is assisting as well as some Boy Scouts. Once
the trail is deemed safe to use warning signs will be removed.
8. Mike Freudenthal gave a brief report on the West Bull Mountain process.
He reported that the committee has completed the Community Layout Plan which
addresses density, facilities, schools, trials, future park and recreation provider, etc.
What's next is the approval of the plan. The area will, more than likely, remain in
unincorporated Washington County.
