For the City of Richmond to commit along with East Bay Regional Park District to a $3 million dollar contribution for completing that segment of the Bay Trail with an understanding that this would be one part of a contribution and that if the complete contribution is made, the money will be there, if the project cannot go forward because of incomplete funding, the City maintains the right to withdraw its share

Donate surplus 1991 fire engine to volunteer fire department in Nicaragua
