Exhibit 4: DCSSD#2 Logo

The DCSSD #2 was created in 1988. The primary purpose of the DCSSD#2 is for the construction, repair and maintenance of roads within the unincorporated areas of Duchesne County. While trails have not been a focus of the DCSSD#2 to date, they did agree to provide the local funding match to this plan and have committed additional funds going forward for trails projects in the future. It is likely that DCSSD#2 will be involved in funding trails and routes projects in Duchesne County for the foreseeable future.
