Oglesby stated that this would not be just for airport access, but a way to effect the transportation dollars pulled into the area between the turnpike and Louisville on 96th Street. Davidson called for Council discussion. Lathrop saw no alternative, in the near future, for Louisville to have a reasonable ingress /egress out of Louisville aside from some type of a parkway. Davidson stated that the only way they can build a Northwest Parkway or improve the current roads up to the Northwest Parkway would be that the locals pay for it and build it. If you look at Boulder County, all the money is in City of Boulder. Without the City and County of Boulder's participation it will never happen. He felt that before the study is done there should be a Northwest Parkway agreement. Mayer agreed with Davidson. Keany stated that this is a study planned for fiscal year 1999, which begins in October 1998. If it takes so long to get this funded, shouldn't Council support it so that it will get funded in three years and get the IGA in place in the meantime. Levihn agreed with the need for it, but he had a problem with the City of Broomfield's letter saying that they had already had discussions with other key local governments, but none with Louisville. He wanted more discussion. Mayer moved that Council adopt the letter with Bill Simmons suggested changes on the sponsorship to be done in conjunction with the City of Boulder and Boulder County and authorize the Mayor to sign the letter, seconded by Levihn. Roll call was taken: Motion passed by a 4 2 vote with Keany and Lathrop voting against and Howard being absent.
