CityCouncil | 2012-04-17 | 7 | Mayor Gilmore stated there is consensus for wanting the bike and pedestrian projects to go forward, applying for grants, and sending the matter back to the Transportation Commission and Planning Board; complimented staff for all the hard work; stated having a more user friendly document would help the community be more informed. Councilmember Johnson stated maintenance should be a separate category because maintenance needs to be done every year. Councilmember deHaan stated lifeline projects are important too; funding sources should be outlined. Vice Mayor Bonta moved approval of having the matter go back to the Planning Board and Transportation Commission; and authorize staff to seek grants for projects already approved in the Bike and Pedestrian Plans. Councilmember Tam seconded the motion and requested clarification on whether Council wants the whole methodology to come back to Council after the Transportation Commission and Planning Board review or just the point assignments. Councilmember deHaan stated Council requested categorizing items, particularly maintenance and lifeline projects. Councilmember Johnson stated items need to be separated out so maintenance projects are prioritized within its own category. Councilmember Tam inquired whether Council wants the methodology or the final list to come back. Councilmember Johnson responded either way would be fine; stated bringing the methodology back might be helpful; that she would not want to drag the matter out longer than necessary. Mayor Gilmore suggested that maintenance have its own category and that the Transportation Commission and Planning Board provide an Off Agenda Report [after reviewing methodology] and Council could decide whether to bring the matter back for discussion. The Public Works Director suggested adding a maintenance category and a column identifying the type of project; stated the list could be sorted by type. Mayor Gilmore stated projects should be sorted by type; people might not care about bike projects but might care about pedestrian projects; having projects sorted by type would make projects easier to find. On the call for the question, to motion carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. (12-177) Resolution No. 14668, "Adopting a Policy for Public Participation."
