Regular City Council Meeting Monday, March 24,2014 Page 17 Mayor Roe opined that the bullet points and recommendations of the PWETC were sensible; and they fully met his intent based on the City Council's charge to the PWETC; to not provide a ranking as much as a skeleton of a plan, which could be further refined as levy funding and other resources were identified or be- came available. Mayor Roe expressed his appreciation for their work and useful recommendations. At the request of Councilmember McGehee, Mayor Roe confirmed that he didn't see this priority ranking taking the place of the 2008 Pathway Master Plan, espe- cially until the City Council took formal action and revisited the ranking as a broader process at the discretion of the City Council. Councilmember Laliberte opined that it was important for the City to review other documents, including the Ramsey County 5-year CIP and determine priorities from a logistics point as well as using the 2008 Pathway Master Plan ranking. If the PWETC wished to spend more time on this issue, Councilmember Laliberte opined that the rankings include those 2008 rankings as well and open up the pub- lic comment process to a larger group of residents; opining that it didn't appear to her that all pieces and plans were in place yet. Councilmember Etten noted that the proposed survey, up for discussion later to- night, included several questions on pathways and how much of an investment was needed and where there may be areas of need yet. Councilmember Etten questioned if the PWETC should be tasked with spending more time figuring out priorities, since the survey information may determine that before any further work was indicated. Mayor Roe suggested, with consensus of the body that this Build-Out Plancome back before them mid-summer. 11. Public Hearings a.
