This <br />is a segment of trail which has been long anticipated and desired. In viewing of the final <br />product it is obvious that this segment of trail is more costly than what was identified in <br />the development agreement. <br />It is staff recommendation that the committee consider negotiating an increase in the <br />reimbursement for the Trott Brook trail installation, possibly with the contribution of tree <br />removal costs identified at a cost of $32,604. <br />Financial Impact: <br />Any additional reimbursement for the trail installation would come from the Trail and <br />Park funds. As stated earlier in this case, the Brookfield development has contributed <br />$ to date into this fund and will eventually contribute a total of $730,010 when fully <br />developed. <br />Action: <br />Based upon discussion. <br />Reviewed by: <br />Director of Public Works/Principal City Engineer <br />Finance Officer <br />Public Works Parks Supervisor <br />Engineering Technician IV <br />PW: 10/16/07 <br />-178- <br />
