City Council <br />Meeting Minutes <br />March 3, 2020 <br />Page 10 of 12 <br /> <br /> <br />Mayor Stolzmann stated she doesn’t feel a question about a tobacco tax is needed as <br />she feels confident people will support it on the ballot. Mayor Pro Tem Maloney and <br />Councilmember Brown agreed. <br /> <br />Councilmember Fahey would like a specific sustainability question with prioritized <br />answers. Members agreed and staff will create a question based on the focus areas in <br />the sustainability action plan. <br /> <br />Given the late hour, members decided to continue some items on the agenda to a later <br />date. <br /> <br />Mayor Stolzmann made a motion to move the Transportation Master Plan discussion and <br />the executive session to March 31 at 7 pm; Mayor Pro Tem Maloney seconded. <br /> <br />Voice vote: all in favor. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION/DIRECTION – TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN UPDATE - 2019- <br />2020 FUNDING AND PROPOSED CIP PROJECTS <br /> <br />Continued to March 31. <br /> <br />AWARD CONTRACT FOR 2020 CONCRETE REPLACEMENT PROGRAM <br /> <br />Director Kowar stated the concrete bid currently includes all the streets in the 2020 plan. <br />The concrete costs and paving estimates came in roughly $2M above budget. He noted <br />there are five packages for Council to choose from. The goal for the pavement program is <br />to get the streets up to a 75 score. Staff recommends deferring Hoover and Lafayette to <br />future years. Director Kowar reviewed some of the concrete options and what their costs <br />are. <br /> <br />Public Comments <br /> <br />Jay Keany, 1488 Wilson Place, encouraged Council not to do anything in downtown that <br />would eliminate parking which is much needed. He added that Council should fully vet the <br />projects in the Transportation Master Plan before approving them. <br /> <br />Mayor Pro Tem Maloney noted there is about $10M in the fund balance above the <br />required reserves; can some of that be used for this. City Manager Balser stated some of <br />that could be used if Council so decides. <br /> <br />Mayor Pro Tem Maloney supports finding the $2M and to not cut out anything. <br /> <br />Mayor Stolzmann stated she supports the paving, but thinks the plan to widen some <br />sections of sidewalk to eight feet could be removed.
