MEMO TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Clork-Administrator DATE: February 2, 1984 SUBJECT: MAYOR'S MEMORANDUM REGARDING INFRASTRUCTURE CAPACITIES Pursuant to discussion at the January 23rd Council Meeting, the referenced memorandum from Mayor McCarty regarding infrastructure capacities has been placed on the February 6th agenda for discussion. The purpose of this memorandum is to outline staff's observations regarding the Mayor's proposal and means for integrating it into the City's 1984 Program. Staff would agree that the City Council needs to have at its disposal all the information necessary to make knowledgeable decisions on proposals for development of the undeveloped areas of the City and "redevelopment", i.e. lot splits, rezoning, expanded use of existing buildings, etc. of developed areas. An important piece of that information is a full understanding of the existing condition and capacity of our infrastructure as well as what type of improvements might be necessary to meet specific development demands. In reviewing the Mayor's proposal and the 1984 Goals established during a work session in September 1983, it would seem that the proposed review of infrastructure capacities could best be accomplished and provide for the most thorough review when integrated into Priorities 3, 4, and 5 of the 1984 Goals, namely, Onqoinq Infrastructure Maintenance Program, Development of a Long -Term Trend Analysis,and Update of Land Use Regulations. This would allow for rho royi,ow of nrovinim studies to determine the validity of their data and conclusions based on the current condition of infra- structure systems, current development, past and future development trends having an impact upon infrastructure and most importantly, ensure the integration of this information and conclusions when the update of land use regulations is being considered. Therefore, staff would recommend that the Council direct that the Mayor's proposal be integrated into the 1984 Goals Program as outlined above to ensure that the evaluation of infrastructure capacities as proposed by the Mayor is included in the comprehensive program established by the Council by the 1984 Goals.
