Town of Breckenridge - Current News and Information manipulation of rocks leading to a bit more variety in the features. He feels that if this were done that the park could host a competition event. He thought that it would be useful to do a tour of successful parks such as Golden and Salida. He thinks that by moving some rocks, removing others, and funneling water in different directions, we could make the season longer. As it now stands, the season will end in about two weeks for the more advanced boaters. Beginners will continue to use it for practice throughout the rest of the summer. He also stated that the water before the bridge culverts was so slow that there was no hazard from the culverts. Chad feels strongly that the Town ought to consider tweaking Phase I while constructing Phase II at same time. Jim Levi, instructor for Summit Kayak, noted that the main goal should be rodeo use, with some beginners using it. He suggested that we incorporate a deep dynamic hole in Phase II for rodeos. Rick moved for BOSAC to recommend to Council to implement the second phase and tweak the first phase this year to save funds based on the bid received. He included a recommendation to use general funds with an Open Space contribution of $50K to $100K. The motion carried 6 -1. TRAILS POSITION: Jeff presented the idea of a full -time trails position that would take over all trails duties, including planning, contracting, leasing, maintenance, construction and database management for both summer and winter trails. The position would also allow the Town to partner with the County on trails, especially in the Golden Horseshoe; and would free up the Open Space Planner to deal with the rapidly expanding Open Space Program, BOSAC was supportive of the position and using 75% open space funds; but was evenly split between a 3 /4 position or a full -time position. BOSAC voted unanimously to recommend to Council a trails position of either' /4 or full - time. WEST MOONSTONE TRAIL: A site visit was conducted to the trail; and Jack presented a relocation plan for the trail. BOSAC voted to proceed with the relocation of the existing trail, but for staff to perform more research regarding creating a second trail or loop.
