MINUTES CITY COUNCIL MARCH 22, 2023 D. Miller asked if the intent for the open house would be to present ideas and designs or simply to gather input. The City Engineer replied that staff would not want to present solutions right away but would want to bring thought provoking ideas to generate discussion. The City Administrator noted that there is not sufficient right-of-way for a separated trail, so that would not be an option for this area and therefore that would not be presented as an option at the open house. Mayor Fischer appreciated the effort and believed that this would be a good investment to understand the options as this is a heavily used area by pedestrians. Fischer introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOL UTION NO. 2023-3-3 7 — APPRO VE LABORE ROAD SIDEWALK STUDY WITH BOLTON & MENK UP TO A COST OF $35,000 The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by D.
