Regular City Council Meeting Monday, May 16, 2016 Page 18 Councilmember Etten expressed his personal appreciation for the "Leaders in Training" program, citing a recent example and ideas shared with an area fourth grader. Councilmember Laliberte stated she understood this from a broader perspective and how people normally engage to collect and disseminate ideas; but also incor- porating outreach into already existing programs. At the request of Councilmember Laliberte, Parks & Recreation Director Brokke confirmed that this initiative would involve personnel and supplied. Councilmember Laliberte noted that in the "big list" of priorities before these five combined categories, the elderly services under demographic changes seemed to have fallen off. City Manager Trudgeon advised that, as the bigger list was vetted, in this one so- cial equity and delivery of services were incorporated for areas not typical ac- cessed. Under a citywide idea, Mr. Trudgeon advised that as partnerships are built, this would be a starting point, and those areas thought to be more immedi- ately feasible were included, with others still in the thought process for future ref- erence. In terms of that specific elderly demographic change, Councilmember McGehee spoke in support of getting it back as a significant part of current demographics, opining there would be little dramatic change in the foreseeable future related to a growing elderly population. Mayor Roe agreed and noted they were part of the demographics of program us- ers already. Councilmember Willmus also agreed with his colleagues, and suggested when demographics change, something should in turn be incorporated into the PPP ini- tiatives as well, and plugged into that document to look at changing demographics in overall priorities. Update Transportation Plan (Comprehensive Plan� As previously noted, Public Works Director Culver advised that an update of the city's transportation plan and various components would be part of the compre- hensive plan update itself. Mr. Culver noted his intent to make it a deliberate part of the process to update the Pathway Master Plan through receipt of additional public input on prioritizing future segments as well.
