City Council Report—Dave Clabots. At the last City Council meeting, parking guidelines were approved. The Council are working with RTD and funding is going to be an issue. More sales tax is needed to complete the NW corridor. On the subject of light rail, there was considerable debate re: flexibility underpasses etc. Given the condition of the US economy, no big housing developments are happening. The Council completed their update to the Comprehensive Plan in January and are keeping it open for senior housing. The sales tax receipts are okay but we're being cautious.
