City Council Meeting Minutes February 21, 2017 Page 15 of 17 position to take on the proposed construction defect bills or any other of the proposed legislation. Councilmember Maloney asked about SB 17-098 on mobile home parks He noted the mobile home park does serve a need in the Community Councilmember Stolzmann noted it is not expected to pass but is still being monitored. Mayor Pro Tem Lipton stated the city should work closely with DRCOG on infrastructure and transportation, but should not get involved in bills outside of transportation, regional planning and infrastructure. Perhaps we should abstain on the other bills. Councilmember Keany asked about the bill regarding public access to government files noting his concern this creates a mandate for local government and may create a burden on local governments as an unfunded mandate. Attorney Light noted the proposed bill asks for governments to provide information in its original, searchable format. The difficulty is that it creates an additional burden on the custodian to find if there is a searchable format which could take a considerable amount of time There is the possibility of claims for attorney's fees when the aim is just to get the public records request produced His firm would like to see this done without attaching to the unilateral fee shifting provision. Mayor Muckle encouraged Councilmember Stolzmann to continue to abstain on construction defect bills. He suggested opposition to any transportation bills that do not generate revenue or offset costs. Councilmember Loo agreed. Councilmember Stolzmann gave an update on possible changes to the upcoming 2020- 2023 Transportation Improvement Program grant cycle.
