Public Services Director Caroline Chavez announced today that a public meeting originally scheduled on November 30^th about the planning status for the County’s newest park Mt. Konocti has been postponed for the winter. The last meeting was held on November 2^nd and meeting participants were brought up to date on the current status of the Mt. Konocti Park development. However, additional improvements are on hold through the winter months.  Therefore, there is no additional development to report.

Participants were also asked to submit their preferences for priorities and questions on the planned development which will be reviewed by County staff and the newly-formed Konocti Regional Trails (KRT) Team. The KRT Team has had some initial meetings to begin reviewing the community input and developing priorities for Mt Konocti and other regional trail systems including a communications plan to keep people informed of plans and progress.

The next meeting is tentatively scheduled for February 2012. Mt. Konocti is currently open only to hikers while plans are developed and the special order vault restrooms are built, delivered and installed.  For more information, check the County’s trails website for information at www.konoctitrails.com.
