City Council <br />Study Session Summary <br />November 14, 2017 <br />Page 4 of 6 <br />Council member Leh said intergovernmental processes are worth bringing to <br />forefront. Regional travel and transportation are political pieces that may be <br />useful. Reducing transportation demand is about carpooling and enticing people <br />to use other modes. <br />Council member Maloney said he would like neighborhood traffic management <br />and safety talked about more. He believes there is a lot of concern about safety. <br />Mayor Muckle agrees pedestrian and bicycle safety, and school safety are <br />priorities. Megan said perhaps separate out 1. neighborhood safety and 2. <br />pedestrian and bicycle safety. <br />Council member Leh said whoever we contract with needs to make use of our <br />citizens input. <br />Director Davis asked if Council be interested in a taskforce? <br />Council member Stolzmann said she appreciates the information and believes it <br />warrants further study, but this is far too broad of scope and feels we will get <br />shallow input.

He thinks we should rearrange the scope. <br />Building and Public Safety Director Zuccaro said regarding the process: there are <br />limited resources. The whole purpose is to inform decisions and make budget <br />priorities. The document would be updated every 5 — 7 years. This document <br />would help prioritize CIP with limited resources. We want to know Council's <br />policies. In Small Area Plan we had discussions about which improvement meets <br />the plan. <br />Council member Loo listed the top three complaints that she hears, saying the <br />technology piece will be hard to solve: <br />1. Minimize traffic <br />2. Improve safety <br />3. Make it easier to connecting to alternate modes <br />We want a report that is actionable. Director Zuccaro asked is the process worth <br />it to reach deliverables? Director Kowar said what is the existing data and define <br />
