City Council <br />Meeting Minutes <br />June 7, 2016 <br />Page 6 of 11 <br />Councilmember Keany stated he thought some of the smaller wayfinding should be left <br />in and the parks signs that need to be replaced should also be left in. <br />Director Stevens noted the wayfinding requests were driven by the Open Space <br />Advisory Board (OSAB). For OSAB this is their main priority for funding. Mayor Pro Tem <br />Lipton stated OSAB put together their priorities at the request of the City Council but <br />they will understand it has to be balanced with everything else. <br />Councilmember Loo would like the bird nest camera removed. Councilmember Leh <br />agreed <br />Councilmember Loo would like the Kaylix Avenue extension removed as the City <br />doesn't own the property. City Manager Fleming noted that land acquisition would come <br />when the property is developed; this CIP is for design of the street that would be <br />negotiated as a part of the development process <br />Mayor Pro Tem Lipton suggested asking staff to make reductions to meet a target and <br />also to reduce transfers to the Open Space Fund with that funding moved to the CIP. <br />He suggested giving staff a target rather than going through each project. <br />City Manager Fleming stated staff can come back with a new version of the CIP with the <br />additional $2.5 million put towards paving in 2018 but it will require many cuts. <br />Councilmember Loo stated staff should remove all "quality of life" projects and put that <br />money towards paving. Councilmember Leh noted the citizen survey results show <br />quality of life is the 2na highest rated item behind paving so it is still very important. <br />Councilmember Loo stated the museum expansion came in last on the priority list on <br />the survey and all money towards that project should be removed. Mayor Pro Tem <br />Lipton stated it is for design work and is needed for fund raising and should be left in. <br />Mayor Pro Tem Lipton stated he doesn't want to cut all quality of life projects but would <br />like to see those projects moved further out. Councilmember Maloney would like items <br />moved to out years to allow for paving in 2018. <br />Councilmember Keany asked if the paving booster program could be smoothed out over <br />additional years. <br />Mayor Muckle asked for public comments <br />John Leary stated the format of the documents is not transparent enough for residents <br />to understand. <br />12 <br />
