At the request of Member DeBenedet, Mr. Miller confirmed that of the number <br /> receiving the current senior discount, there were only a few households receiving <br /> it due to meeting federal poverty guidelines. <br /> At the request of Member DeBenedet, Mr. Miller advised that senior discounts <br /> were not common among other cities, to his knowledge, and of the 107 <br /> metropolitan cities, he would estimate that significantly fewer than half of them <br /> offered such a program. <br /> Ayes: 4 <br /> Nays: 0 <br /> Motion carried. <br /> MOTION <br /> Member DeBenedet moved, Member Stenlund seconded, recommending to <br /> the City Council that they retain the current two-tiered water utility rate <br /> structure. <br /> Ayes: 4 <br /> Nays: 0 <br /> Motion carried. <br /> 6. Pathway Master Plan Build-Out <br /> Mr. Schwartz briefly reviewed and presented the latest iteration of the proposed <br /> Pathway Master Plan Build-out based on discussions and re-ranking to-date; and <br /> as detailed in the staff report dated October 22, 2013. <br /> Member DeBenedet opined that the composite rankings had come out as he <br /> expected. Member DeBenedet addressed the portion of County Road B between <br /> Highway 280 and Cleveland Avenue; and discussions held at the NRATS <br /> Subcommittee for the Parks Renewal Program and Parks & Recreation <br /> Commission meetings recognizing that that portion of the City had no park, and <br /> received little or no attention or benefits. On the other hand, Member DeBenedet <br /> advised that, in light of park project discussions, the park bonding issue had <br /> monies set aside for pathways. <br /> At the last NRATS meeting, Member DeBenedet advised that new information <br /> was brought forward differently than before. Member DeBenedet noted that the <br /> County Road B-2 pathway was retained as a#1 priority, but remaining monies <br /> were reallocated for internal park improvements. Given the concerns with safety <br /> and accessibility, Member DeBenedet opined that the shift had surprised him <br /> somewhat; since as those projects were originally developed, the earliest <br /> consideration should have been with safety and accessibility with the ADA being <br /> in effect for 23 years and mandating public facilities being accessible, with the <br /> City of Roseville currently way behind the curve in that aspect.
