On page 24, after line 35 of the amendment, insert the following:
     "(5) The legislature recognizes that the trail known as the Apple Capital Loop, and its extensions, serve to separate motor vehicle traffic from pedestrians and bicyclists, increasing motor vehicle safety on existing state route number 28. Consistent with chapter 47.30 RCW and pursuant to RCW 47.12.080, the legislature declares that transferring portions of WSDOT Inventory Control (IC) Nos. 2-09-04537 and 2-09-04569 to Douglas county and the city of East Wenatchee is consistent with the public interest. The legislature directs the department to transfer the property to Douglas county and the city of East Wenatchee. The department must be paid fair market value for any portions of the transferred real property that is later abandoned, vacated, or ceases to be publicly maintained for trail purposes. Douglas county and the city of East Wenatchee must agree to accept responsibility for trail segments within their respective jurisdictions and sign an agreement with the state that the transfer of these parcels to their respective jurisdictions extinguishes any state obligations to improve, maintain, or be in any way responsible for these assets. The department shall not surplus any of the lands adjoining the trail until Douglas county and the city of East Wenatchee accomplish zoning and land use planning as they deem necessary, provided those updates are completed by January 1, 2014. The department shall report to the transportation committees of the legislature by June 30, 2013, and annually thereafter, on the status of the transfer until complete."
