City Council meeting of April 17, 2000 Page 5 TRANSPORTATION PLAN The Council previously requested that the City's Transportation Plan be amended to provide guidance on the future development of TH61. The City Engineer provided the Council with Appendix B, addressing additional concerns. It was the consensus of the Council that the City take a hard look at downtown development, in light of proposed changes to TH61. It was concluded that downtown business owners should also be brought into these discussions. No further action was taken. NEW CITY HALL (DISCUSSION) Councilman Jim Leroux, chairperson of the City's City Hall Building Committee, requested the Council establish a date to visit other city halls in the area. Mr. Leroux also updated the Council on Committee discussions, stating that no formal decisions have been made relative to the new facility. Clerk Creager will establish site visits, and provide the Council with an itinerary at their meeting on April 24". RUSH LINE TASK FORCE Attorney Galler advised the Council that there are "unknown" costs attached to the Joint Powers Agreement regarding the Rush Line Corridor Task Force. The Council opted to delay any action on the Agreement. No further action was taken. SUBWAY PARKING Mayor Stoltzman surveyed the Council about how they felt about allowing parking on the County easement in front of the establishment.
