He asked for some follow up <br />direction for the public hearing next week to include the following items: Fiscal Policies <br />(will also be addressed in the Finance Committee), key areas including the reserves in <br />the Conservation Open Space and Parks Fund and additions to paving specifying any <br />further funding scenarios Council would like to see.

The Street Faire proposed budget is a key area staff would like direction <br />on. <br />COUNCIL COMMENT - PAVING <br />Mayor Muckle suggested beginning the discussion with street paving. He mentioned <br />Council member Lipton had sent an email concerning paving and an effort to include <br />more money spent on paving to raise the quality of the overall condition. Mayor Muckle <br />was happy proposing spending more money on street paving to get more streets done <br />sooner, but was not sure he wanted to spend a lot more money on paving by taking <br />other high priority items out of the budget. <br />Council member Keany was in favor of investing more money than already budgeted <br />and being more aggressive at least within a ten year period. He suggested delaying <br />any recreation center improvements until the task force finished looking at it. <br />Mayor Muckle agreed, although he wanted assurance the recreation center would be <br />okay in the meantime. <br />Council member Stolzmann favored Council member Lipton's suggestion to do more <br />streets sooner. She referred to a previous comment concerning chip seal lasting ten <br />years and felt every street should be repaired within a ten year period to keep them in <br />15 <br />
