Finally! Something Bill McDonald can agree on as stated in his Friday letter on 01/08/2010 he mentions the Mission Site and also says there is no definitive evidence that it is where the marker current lays. For more information and views: Methodist Mission
3. Mission Site Proposal The City has been meeting with a representative of Quadrant Corporation to produce a final transfer of property which meets the City objective of preserving the historical record of the Methodist Mission in the early days of the Hudson Bay presence. Quadrant has proposed to give the City a piece of property adjacent to the new trail alignment which is a short distance from the current trail marker. There is no definitive evidence of the true site of the Methodist Mission. I will discuss this issue briefly at the City Council meeting.”
As far as the remaining portion here
2. Sequalitchew Trail Alignment
The City Administrator and Councilmember Trotter walked a new alignment for a section of trail close to the start of the Sequalitchew trail. The new alignment pulls the trail parallel with the new boundary of the City acquired Lot Z. The alignment satisfies both steep slope and sensitive area setbacks required by the City’s Development Code. Landmark trees including Savannah Oak and Douglas Fir are highlighted as the trail meanders through a beautiful meadow area. I will display a map of the alignment during the City Administrator’s report on Tuesday. Quadrant and Glacier will provide for the trail improvement which will include paving the new section down to the connection to the current paved trail. This will provide a stretch of trail with a hard surface leading to the property on which a historical marker recognizing the Methodist Mission will be established.
I think that probably Judy Krill & Steve Wyant should be walking that or the rest of the SCWC. Hopefully Bill and Kathy’s locating party adheres to the 1994 settlement agreement.
