Regular City Council Meeting Monday, September 17, 2012 Page 8 not proposing any funds for repair of the road, Ms. Bloom noted that the County was interested in turning over those roads to the City. Mr. Schwartz noted that it was ultimately the City Council's decision whether to accept the road or not. At the request of Councilmember Willmus, Mr. Schwartz reviewed legislative action, most recently in 1993, to turn back roads through nego- tiation, with some taking place immediately and others deferred. Ms. Bloom advised that there was currently some discussion at the State level re- garding another round of turnbacks, with the state turning back roads to the county, with the county turning them over to the City. At the request of Councilmember Pust, Mr. Schwartz confirmed that the purpose was to shift financial costs to local governments. Mr. Schwartz advised that he had attended a Map 21 meeting today, with discussion under a new federal program for turn backs; and basically shifting costs to local government. By consensus, Councilmembers commended the PWETC once again for their "smart" work on behalf of the City Council and community; with their recommen- dations well-thought-out. Councilmember McGehee expressed appreciation for the clear presentation, as well as the comparisons with other communities. Mayor Roe asked that when this item came before the City Council for formal ac- tion, that sufficient and advance notice be provided to the public to make sure they were aware of the item. b. Discuss Twin Lakes Alternative Urban Area-wide Review (AUAR) Community Development Director Patrick Trudgeon and City Planner Thomas Paschke were available for this presentation. As noted,Mr. Trudgeon advised that the current AUAR expires in October of 2012; and provided three (3) options for consideration by the City Council, as detailed in the Request for Council Action dated September 17, 2012. Begin TL AUAR update using same 4 scenarios as previously used. Mr. Trudgeon noted that the scenarios needed to be updated realistically, such as not including a potential hospital use. Let the Twin lakes AUAR lapse and begin a new visioning process for Twin Lakes and complete a new AUAR once that visioning is complete.
