CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO

Don Marr, Chief of Staff
FROM: Alison Jumper, Park Planning Superintendent
DATE: May -15, 2015
SUBJECT: Resolution to approve a contract with Progressive Trail Design, LLC for the
Preparation of the Kessler Mountain Trails Master Plan
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of a contract with Progressive Trail Design, LLC in the amount not
to exceed $26,320 for the preparation of the Kessler Mountain Trails Master Plan and a 10%

BACKGROUND:
The City of Fayetteville purchased and preserved over 350 acres on Kessler Mountain in a
partnership with the Walton Family Foundation, Chambers Bank and the Fayetteville Natural
Heritage Association in 2014. Located on the southwest edge of Fayetteville in Washington
County, Kessler Mountain reaches 1,856 feet above sea level. The area consists of steep bluffs
and rock -covered woodlands with miles of nature trails that traverse through stands of old-
growth forest, rock outcroppings showcasing many native flora and fauna species.
Mr. Jeremy Pate noted in his February 4, 2014 memo to the City Council for the purchase of the
land that the city's vision is to utilize already forged partnerships with the Mt. Kessler
Greenways Advocates, Fayetteville Natural Heritage Association, Ozark Off -Road Cyclists, the
International Mountain Bicycling Association, the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville Public
Schools and others to develop programs at Kessler Mountain that emphasize and expand upon
established outdoor recreation in the form of mountain biking, hiking, and nature study. We plan
to use these relationships to continue the design, development, expansion and long-term
maintenance of the Kessler Mountain trail system for recreational use; to foster working outdoor
classrooms and laboratory spaces for use by the University and surrounding schools; to provide
for the study of native Arkansas flora, fauna and geologic rock formations; to promote
awareness of watershed and natural resource preservation; and to provide places for healthy,
active lifestyles for future generations' wellbeing.
Additionally, Resolution 40-14 stated the City will also need to spend about $100,000 from
reserves to develop a public trailhead for the many nature, hiking, biking and recreational trails
already established and to be established and enhanced as part of the Regional Park.
