important for the Town's Standing Committees and the Council to meet at
least once a year to review the progress of the Committee and discuss their
goals and objectives. Siegel added that the Pathways Committee is one of the
most active of the Standing Committees and the Council has supported them
with increases in the Town's budget for pathway maintenance and
development with approximately $140,000 being budgeted for Fiscal Year '92-
'93. He added that approximately 28% of this has been spent.

Adjourned Regular Meeting
The Council had before them a Pathway Committee update prepared by Chair
Carol Gottlieb. She reported that the Committee is very pleased with the
progress that has been made in the last few months adding that the Director
of Public Works, Jeff Peterson, has been most supportive and is doing a
wonderful job.
Among the projects in progress discussed were: Bryne Preserve fence --it is
almost completed; Taffee Road pole removal-- to be removed by February 10;
signing of Paths --40 signs are in and there are 20 more to be set, spraying of
paths --a new spraying map has been developed by the Maintenance
Supervisor noting that Byrne Park will be sprayed at a later date for Star
Thistle; slippery driveways --Peterson presented samples of the product that
will be used on concrete and exposed agragate; and the Robleda Road box
culvert --weather permitting will be completed next week.
Gottlieb commented that Art Mendoza, Maintenance Supervisor and his
crew had done an excellent job of clearing the pathways adding that the
progress had been a co-operative effort between Staff and volunteers.
Items that the Committee considers "on the drawing board" include: the
Fernhill Path, the Merrill path, Lupine Lane bike path and the Juan Prado to
Stonebrook path. Regarding the Merrill path, it was noted that at the time of
the subdivision review it will be determined whether the applicant or the
Town will be responsible for the installation of the path.
Chairman Gottlieb reported that the Committee is also working on
numerous new projects including the connector between the Lands of
Bellucci and the Lands of Gaither. She added that this is an exceptionally
beautiful and easy trail.
Regarding administrative issues, Gottlieb noted that the committee was
preparing a path map and requested direction regarding the marking of paths.
Council felt that only paths that were dedicated and recorded should be noted.
Gottlieb added that the Staff has been most diligent during the site
development process in acquiring new easements and not issuing building
permits until those easements have been recorded and the City Engineer has
been working with the City Attorney in acquiring previously rejected path
easements.
Mayor Tryon thanked the Committee on behalf of the City Council for their
ongoing work and dedication.
