OLD BUSINESS:
Pathway Maintenance and Construction Projects – Budget Priorities for 2003-2004 – C. Vargas (Mintze
Cheng)
Mintze Cheng submitted a table with various pathways prioritized with associated costs. Discussion
ensued. Chris V. submitted a four page list of ideas for prioritizing spending pathway budget. Proposal
is to get good data. Mintze states that Edgerton pipe extension, Conception at Purissima, and Burm on
Viscaino will total approximately $40,000 and that if approved by Council that these costs will come
from the 2002-2003 budget. Our committee needs to prioritize a list of pathway projects for the
$250,000 budget expected for 2003-2004. Safety, ease of use, connectivity, privacy were all discussed
as priorities when considering projects. Chris V. is keeping a spreadsheet of project ideas. Mintze will
report back in about two weeks on her very rough estimates on each project’s costs. Mintze will
circulate the estimate to help committee members prepare to make decisions at our June meeting.
