As of this writing, it is not firm as to who will be representing the Bureau of Land Management, but it will probably be an official of the Regional or State Manager stature. BLM will be sending press releases to the local papers.

PHOENIX, ARIZONA 85027 MARLYN V JONES (602) 863-4464 February 9, 1985 DISTRICT MANAGER BLM TO PRESENT APACHE JUNCTION CITY COUNCIL WITH RECREATION LEASE ON 1,628 ACRES The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) will present the Apache Junction city council a no-fee lease on 1,628 acres of public land February 19 so the city can develop horse, Jogging, and hiking trails. The L-shaped tract extends nine miles, roughly paralleling the Salt River Project powerline corridors east and north of the Pinal County town. Arthur E. Tower, BLM Phoenix Resource Area manager, said the lease calls for the city to acquire ownership of the land, also at no cost, when development plans are complete He said these plans call for three trailheads of less than five acres each with graveled parking areas and loading and unloading areas for horses. Signs marking hiking and riding trails are also planned. Tower said the city's management of the area will benefit the Sonoran Desert environment because motorized vehicles will be prohibited, thus reducing soil erosion, noise, and dust pollution. The BLM official said the city's proposed 11 miles of trails will eventually interconnect with existing trails in nearby Lost Dutchman State Park and the Superstition Wilderness Area. The leased area is one-quarter mile wide The north-south segment is five miles long and extends from Silly Mountain on the south to the Apache Trail (Arizona 88) on the north. The east-west segment is four miles long and stretches from the Apache Trail to North Meridian Road - 30 -
