17 Vice - Chairperson Massa - Lavitt requested that Mr. Flower provide a brief overview of the
18 litigation concerning the Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for the River's End
19 Staging Area (RESA) and San Gabriel River Bikeway Enhancement Plan. Mr. Flower
20 explained that the matter is still pending, but the main issue relates to the property
21 owner disputing the validity of the MND. The judge ruled that the City modify the project
22 description in the MND to indicate that portions of the bike path are currently under the
23 ownership and control of the private property owner. The City subsequently prepared
24 an appendix to the original document and has taken public comment on this appendix in
25 compliance with the court's direction.
