Regular City Council Meeting Monday, March 24, 2014 Page 16 wait for reimbursement, since they list this particular project in 2015, but the City plans to build it in 2014. Councilmember Etten-requested a copy of that CIP from Ramsey County for Councilmembers to determine where their list interacted with Roseville's CIP and Pathway Master Plan and Build-out Update and where those priorities meshed; with staff duly noting that request. Mayor Roe suggested that all the items (e.g. PWETC recommendations, Ramsey County Updated CIP; and City criteria) be included in the draft implementation plan coming before the City Council as an action item in the future. At the request of Councilmember Willmus, Mr. Schwartz opined that the 2008 Pathway Master Plan Update remained valid, as it provided a much broader re- view than that given by the PWETC, and was based on safety and connectivity considerations. Councilmember Willmus suggested that the PWETC revisit their scoring and ranking of these segments to ensure consistent criteria from member to member. Mr. Schwartz responded that they could do so; however, he asked that the City Council as a body provide a much clearer definition of that charge, noting that as the criteria changed, it may draw in a much broader portion of the community to weigh in on that priority ranking. Councilmember Willmus opined that the PWETC process was much narrower, and when these efforts are expended in the future, he would prefer to have much broader community input rather than having one neighborhood group and their vocal concerns take precedence over and perhaps providing for a broader docu- ment. Mayor Roe opined that, until a different ranking was officially adopted by the City Council, the 2008 Pathway Master Plan remained as the official document. Mayor Roe expressed his appreciation for having the cost estimates broken out for each segment, opining that it further informed the process; and suggested that those costs be incorporated into the 2008 Plan as the official document. Mayor Roe also expressed his interest in having timeframes identified for Ramsey Coun- ty projects to the greatest extent possible to allow that projected timing be incor- porated in the City's CIP, programming pathway funds into it to define a fixed annual amount. Mayor Roe suggested a closer look for the twelve year period to determine how the PWETC recommendations tie into the current CIP projections and how that may or may not impact funding and projects. At the request of Councilmember Laliberte, Mr. Schwartz confirmed that Ramsey County provided an annual update of their 5-year CIP. Councilmember Laliberte suggested that the PWETC may also want to do an annual review accordingly to determine any significant changes.
