City Council <br />Meeting Minutes <br />October 12, 2108 <br />Page 9 of 10 <br />Councilmember Stolzmann would like to see increased funding for the TMP projects. <br />Mayor Pro Tem Lipton stated he generally agrees in that direction but would like to pay <br />for some of this from the General Fund revenues. He wants to make it a general list until <br />we have the results of the TMP. He would like the City to dedicate money for design to <br />get projects shovel ready. He feels the money dedicated to this should be much higher. <br />Mayor Muckle stated it might be easier to fund the underpass in 2021. <br />Councilmember Maloney stated the at -grade improvements on South Boulder Road <br />should be done first before the major financial commitment and there are other priorities <br />that should be considered as well. <br />Members discussed if an underpass could be funded from a mix of General and Capital <br />Fund moneys and a variety of options for funding transportation projects. <br />Councilmember Loo asked if the excess revenue from the General Fund could go to the <br />Capital Fund. She would put it in a line for TMP projects generally. <br />Members discussed adding additional funds in the range of $6-8M to the TMP line <br />across multiple years and also have a transfer from the General Fund for these projects. <br />Staff will bring back some scenarios for consideration. City Manager Balser noted this <br />type of funding for transportation projects will require a lot of reorganization or cutting <br />funding for other projects. <br />Councilmember Maloney asked for money also to be put in for middle mile broadband <br />projects. Members agreed to $2M spread over four years starting in 2021. City Manager <br />Balser will see what capital fund changes would be needed for this. City Manager <br />Balser reiterated she feels this may impact the capital projects list. <br />Members agreed that on October 23 the discussion will focus on the Rec and Golf <br />transfers and scenarios for capital funding and final adoption moved to November 27. <br />Members discussed the 228 bus route changes. Councilmember Stolzmann stated we <br />should do more outreach on what the route offers to residents. Councilmember Loo <br />stated we need to communicate with residents that if residents want better transit <br />service, buses on collector streets will be necessary. <br />Members adjourned at 3:28 pm. <br />ADJOURN <br />Robert P. Muckle, Mayor <br />
