He 64 stated those are the two projects the City is undertaking for the 2005 referendum. He also 65 referred to an update on the projects provided in the packets from the Community Development 66 Director. 67 68 Chair Trehus advised he is involved with one of the projects. There was a neighborhood meeting 69 but not all the residents were notified about the meeting. He stated he would have liked the 70 meetings to start sooner due to the many components of the project. There was a petition 71 submitted from residents to order the feasibility study. Residents thought they were petitioning 72 for a feasibility study only but now the project is now going through the entire City process. 73 74 Chair Trehus suggested the Commission discuss this issue with the Community Development 75 Director at the joint Council/Charter Commission meeting. He stated one reason the 76 neighborhood meeting was so late in the process was due to the Charter requirement that the City 77 wait one year after the project failed the last time. 78 79 Commissioner Duffy suggested the Commission look at the Charter and possibly amend it to 80 eliminate the one-year waiting period after a project has failed. 81 82 Pavement Management Policy/Plan—Chair Trehus advised everyone received a copy of the 83 Pavement Management Policies in their packet. He referred to the section regarding Assessment 84 Rate noting the cost has almost tripled in the last two years due to the new policy. 85 86 2
