PATHWAYS, RECREATION AND PARKS COMMITTEE: STATUS OF PROJECTS, GOALS AND PRIORITIES The meeting had been called at the request of Councilmember Bill Siegel, Council liaison to the Pathway Committee. He noted that it is most 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. February 3, 1993 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. February 3, 1993 Adjourned Regular Meeting `v 3. PRESENTATIONS FROM THE FLOOR 4.
