MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Casey, seconded by Finn and passed unanimously to accept Dezahara as a public street and to direct the City Attorney to prepare a resolution on this for adoption at the next Council Meeting. Dauber asked if Council should accept all of the streets listed in the 6/23/87 report as public. It was agreed that since this was not agendized for this meeting Council would direct the City Manager to review the list of streets and report back to Council. 5.2 Discussion and Prioritization of Goals and Objectives Council discussed the City Manager's report(dated 2/3/99 on file at Town Hall)which included a list of all projects including adopted objectives for the year as well as other projects in progress and suggested projects. The report also included estimated levels of staff involvement and time frames for the completion of these projects. As requested by Council,the report listed staff recommended priorities. Casey and Finn believed Council needed more information than was provided in this report. In order to measure performance and success of goal objectives,they recommended more specific time frames for completion of projects. The report before them now was ambigous and included no accountability. Dauber did not believe that staff needed to be • micromanaged. In response to this comment, Finn stated that they hoped to empower staff not micromanage them. Dauber supported the staff s list of priorities and recommended that if a project was added another one needed to be removed. Casey stated that she had certain priorities but felt more information was needed before Council could reasonably make their decisions. She also stated that in her opinion projects that had the highest impact on the residents should be high priority. Her priorities included in part the issue of the color board,the review of the off-road pathways and the improvement/expansion of recreational programs for Town residents. Council agreed that this last project could be sent to the Pathways, Parks and Recreation Committee for initial study and review. Casey noted that she would send them information and comments she had received from residents during the election on this issue. Another issue that Council agreed to send to the Pathways Committee for study was the investigation of alternative materials for paths alongside roads.
