DEPARTMENT: Public Works CITY MANAGER: Dave Anderson

Senior Engineer
SUBJECT: Amendment Number One to the Joint Use Agreement with the Santa Clara
Valley Water District for Wildcat Creek at Gardiner Park
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Authorize the City Manager to sign the Amendment Number One to the Joint Use Agreement.
REPORT SUMMARY:
In January of 2006, the City entered into a Joint Use Agreement with the Santa Clara Valley Water
District (District) to use District-owned property near Gardiner Park for recreational trail
purposes.
The District is proposing to extend this Agreement to adjacent land owned by the District along
Wildcat Creek. Presently, a pathway is installed and used by public along Wildcat Creek in the
subject location. Staff believes it is in the City’s best interest to amend the existing Joint Use
Agreement to include additional District properties and to continue using it for trail purposes.
Except for including additional land in the Agreement, all other terms and conditions will remain
in full force and effect.
It is therefore recommended to amend the Joint Use Agreement to include additional District
properties.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
None in addition to the adopted budget.
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION:
The Joint Use Agreement would not be executed and the City would not be permitted to use the
District’s land for trail purposes.
