2)  Council Organization

Idaho Code Section 50-702 requires the election of a president of the 
Council. City Ordinance 91-11 calls for a vice-president to be elected. 
Additionally, the Council will organize itself in a manner to work on 
programs, policies, and projects. The Council has traditionally been 
organized into two committees, the Public Works/Finance Committee and the 
Administrative Committee.

3)  Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation – Recreational Trails Program

The Recreational Trails Program (RTP) of 1998 established a program for 
allocating funds to States for recreational trails and trail-related 
projects. The Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation (IDPR) is 
responsible for the administration of the Recreational Trail Program (RTP) 
in the state of Idaho. The RPT has a category designed for non-motorized 
diverse use projects primarily intended to benefit more than one mode of 
non-motorized recreational trail use such as walking, bicycling, and 
skating; both pedestrian use in the summer and cross-country ski use in 
the winter. This program has been identified to assist in the purchase and 
improvement of an undeveloped section of the Paradise Path system. In 
order to develop this section of the path, staff is proposing to purchase 
two small sections of property located near Heron’s Hideout and improving 
the path system from Mountain View through the Carol Ryrie Brink Nature 
Park connecting south through Heron’s Hideout back to Mountain View. This 
completed connection will provide 2.34 miles of walking/biking systems 
from Mountain View near White Avenue to the north end of Mountain View 
Park. The proposed project is a key component in providing access to all 
of the connections from the largest section of Moscow’s residential 
population from Hwy. 8 and north to Mountain View Park. Taking this step 
forward in purchasing the necessary property near Heron’s Hideout and 
developing the path is key to development of a multi-modal transportation 
system to provide safe and recreational routes for the heavily populated 
east side of the City. Reviewed by the Administrative Committee on 
December 22, 2008.
