Regular City Council Meeting Monday,June 18, 2012 Page 10 acquisition efforts or in building community support for pathway segments and connections. Councilmember McGehee expressed her support of moving forward, and de- fended her advocacy in seeking a referendum; clarifying that her vote to not support previous City Council action was not specific to the parks portion of the funding and the Master Plan Implementation itself, but specific to not having a referendum for large expenditures of money. Councilmember McGehee stated that she would continue to support those ordinances and policies in place, such as the one related to a limit on City Council spending at a maximum limit with- out a voter referendum. Councilmember McGehee expressed her resentment in characterizing her as holding obstructionist viewpoints. Further discussion ensued regarding challenges in moving forward with the Im- plementation Plan with portions dependent on future community engagement and further research and planning required before their implementation, as well as defining or being ensured of funding. Councilmember Pust suggested that a "Plan B" be put into place once litigation has been determined one way or the other. Mayor Roe noted the need for the Commission to begin organizing long- and short-term capital and maintenance items for reallocation of them from capital to maintenance or vice versa. Councilmember Johnson concurred, noting that the CIP Task Force was patient- ly waiting for word from Mr. Brokke and staff on those specifics in order to al- low the Task Force to make their recommendations to the City Council. Through processing that information to the Task Force, Councilmember John- son opined that it would allow them to better identify items for each category, since it had not yet been done due to the Master Plan process. Councilmember Johnson expressed his personal anticipation of getting that information and moving forward accordingly. At the request of Councilmember Willmus and further clarification sought by Councilmember McGehee, Chair Etten and Mr. Brokke reviewed the PIP car- ryover dollars from year to year; and those items included in the PIP versus the Park and Recreation Renewal Program (PRRP). In conclusion, Chair Etten announced upcoming RoseFest activities and events. Mayor Roe thanked Commissioners for their service and their attendance and discussion at tonight's meeting. Recess
