To Approve the Consent Agenda as amended. 7 8 Ayes - 5 Nays - 0 Motion carried. 9 to D. Resolution 6949 Approving the Preliminary Design of Landscape 11 Architecture Elements for the County Road 10 Trailway Corridor 12 13 Councilmember Stigney stated his concern is that the Resolution does not specify the funding 14 source or cost. 15 16 Director Lee explained that within the capital improvement program that passed in August, the 17 trailway plans were approved and adopted. He shared the plan with the Council. 18 19 Councilmember Stigney stated his concern is that there are many areas in the plan that should be 20 considered further, rather than be voted upon in the Consent Agenda. He suggested the 21 Resolution be brought back for further discussion. 22 23 Councilmember Thomas explained that the Resolution does not approve spending money, and 24 that the plans will come back to the Council before any money is spent. She explained that the 25 Resolution approves various elements that will be included in the plan, not authorizing such 26 elements to be constructed. 27 28 Mayor Marty said his and Councilmember Stigney's concern is that such projects do not go 29 forward without Council approval. 30 31 Director Lee pointed out for each segment, the feasibility report will come back to the Council. 32 In addition, the plans and specs would come back and the project would have to be ordered and 33 approved by the Council. 34 35 Councilmember Thomas stated the current Resolution is before the Council because it saves 36 money by approving all of the proposed elements that could potentially be used in the design. 37 38 Co~ulcilmember Gunn agreed with Councilmember Thomas that the Council is approving the 39 preliminary design. She suggested that the elements the City has so far be brought together for a 40 more comprehensive look at the trailway corridor. She said it is a big project and before the City 41 loses sight of the project, a discussion should be held. 42 43 Councilmember Stigney stated that each segment is made up of many individual elements and his 44 concern is approving all elements. He said he would like to look at each element before they are 45 installed and that his problem is with the vague language of the Resolution.
