SECTION 2. That the Board of Supervisors be asked to take
action to transfer title to said land to the County Recreation De-
partment to be developed as a staging area for the riding and hiking
trails, since this particular parcel is ideally located and shaped
to serve such purposes on an area basis, whereas we are aware of no
other parcels that are so ideally located.

Council, pledges to expend any reasonable amount to develop said
lands for the use of the horsemen of the area.
SECTION 4. That the Board of Supervisors be requested to
instruct the Flood Control District to work with local units of gov-
ernment to the end that other excess lands be made available to such
units for development as recreational areas, so that we can together
begin to meet our needs and provide facilities for the citizens of the
entire County.

of this Resolution.
