CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORT <br />None, <br />City Council <br />Meeting Minutes <br />July 17, 2018 <br />Page 13 of 13 <br />COUNCIL COMMENTS, COMMITTEE REPORTS, AND IDENTIFICATION OF <br />FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS <br />Members discussed a date and time to continue the budget meeting from July 12 that <br />was not concluded. Members discussed various dates. Councilmember Stolzmann <br />moved to set a special meeting for Thursday, August 2 at 6 pm. Councilmember <br />Maloney seconded. Voice vote: all in favor. <br />Councilmember Maloney asked that a loss update from the recent hail storm be <br />included at that special meeting. <br />Mayor Muckle stated the Transportation Commission is meeting this week to vote on <br />the list of projects for CDOT to support with the possible ballot initiative. There is likely <br />to be more funding for the NW area. Louisville added a line in it to make NW rail eligible <br />for multimodal funding. <br />Mayor Pro Tem Lipton asked if that would include prioritizing the rail. Mayor Muckle <br />stated it was not. He stated the idea is to say that if there is a practical plan to build the <br />rail, the multimodal money could be used. <br />Mayor Pro Tem Lipton stated he would like a new cost benefit analysis for NW rail and it <br />should be weighed against other options. He stated he doesn't understand why rail is <br />the preferred option without fully looking at all options. Mayor Muckle stated the current <br />proposal puts hundreds of millions of dollars towards Highway 119 and Highway 7 so it <br />is likely that by the time rail is in place multiple other options will be in place also. <br />Councilmember Stolzmann noted some of the other options are not affordable either <br />and agreed a new analysis is due. Mayor Pro Tem Lipton stated he would like to see <br />new Iifecycle costs for the rail. <br />ADJOURN <br />Members adjourned at 9:50 pm. <br />erf'P. Muckle, Mayor <br />
