The previous City Council had also <br />recognized these priorities as important and had asked the City engineer to estimate a cost <br />for putting together a street maintenance plan and a City water distribution plan. Mr. <br />Peterson estimated that it wo-uld cost about $15,000 for each plan. While Staff supported <br />this project despite the cost because "piece mealing" it is very costly and neither Staff nor <br />Council would have a clear vision of future projects without these plans. Also, without a <br />plan, there is no ability to make adjustments to future projects due to budgetary <br />constraints or mandates; no ability to look back at what was accomplished to assess <br />future needs; and no paper trail or history to allow future Councils to continue the <br />planning process. The previous Council decided not to order these plans done. <br /> <br />Staff continues to recommend that Council order the plans and perhaps there would be a <br />cost savings ifboth plans were done simultaneously. <br /> <br />. In addition, the three of us discussed the need to compile and with input from the Park <br />~ and Recreation Commission, implement a park maintenance schedule. Several items and <br />projects were discussed and costs were estimated for each project and item. <br />
