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.

and discussion of all the elements that go into each segment.
