He suggested looking carefully before making major <br /> changes to the pathway system. <br /> Sid Hubbard, 25228 La Loma Drive, commented on the private vs. public <br /> issue and noted that private roads have public access but are not <br /> maintained by the Town. Mr. Hubbard also referred to the 1997 public <br /> hearings on the path issue and commented that these hearings focused only <br /> on a couple of paths. <br /> Bob Stutz, 25320 Elena, stated the importance of off-road paths for <br /> emergency secondary accesses. <br /> The City Engineer/Director of Public Works agreed that she would be <br /> meeting with Brian Robinson to see if any further work or clarification <br /> was needed on his report. <br /> 3.
