Regular City Council Meeting Monday,December 8, 2014 Page 41 get that information to them for their edification. Mayor Roe opined that from his personal analysis there were many more benefits in pursuing Phase III of Twin Lakes Parkway than concerns; and opined that those benefits ultimately out- weighed the concerns. Therefore, Mayor Roe reiterated his opposition to a mo- tion to delay the design work. Councilmember Laliberte challenged Mayor Roe's statement that because right- of-way had already been purchased, nothing could be done because of that, was not the only solution, as that acquired property could always be put back on the market. Roll Call Ayes: Laliberte. Nays: McGehee,Willmus, Etten, and Roe. Motion failed. Willmus moved, Laliberte seconded, pursuing an updated traffic study prior to en- tering into a contract for design of Phase III of Twin lakes Parkway, and at a cost estimated at $8,000 to $10,000. At the request of Councilmember Etten, Mr. Culver estimated approximately 3-6 months for completion of the updated traffic study, as part of the current work under the RCA. At the request of Councilmember Laliberte, Mr. Culver advised that for any fur- ther development in the area, an updated traffic study would be needed; and pend- ing any land use changes beyond current development proposals in process, the traffic study remained doable and could be incorporated within those timeframes. Mr. Culver reiterated that data would be collected throughout January, and once the model was updated and redone, it could be tweaked if needed and if a land use change came into play. However, with the current developments and/or current proposals taken into account, Mr. Culver stated that he did not see any reason oth- er elements could not be incorporated into that study. Roll Call Ayes: Laliberte, McGehee, Willmus. Nays: Roe and Etten. Motion carried. With agenda items 14.a and 14.b remaining, at approximately 10:00 p.m., Willmus moved, Etten seconded,to extend the meeting to the conclusion of the remaining agenda items. Roll Call Ayes: Laliberte, Willmus, Etten, and Roe. Nays: McGehee. Motion carried
