Future Projects Economic growth for 1990 appear to be significant as a number of additional projects for the I-35W and Twin Lakes corridor appear to be on line. The projects include light industrial and office warehouse development. The City expects to add a significant number of new housing units in 1990. Planning is underway in 1990 to develop a program for expanded housing rehabilitation with the use of both private and public dollars. Those plans are anticipated to be ready for implementa- tion in 1991. Other quality of life projects will include continued emphasis on waste recycling, parks development, public streets and other infrastructure improvements and replacement.

Because of the strong health awareness of the community, having reasonably clear walk- ing and running paths available during the winter was a high priority. With co-operation between the public works and recrea- tion departments, a pathways snow removal program was implemented with excellent success. Fiscal Policy Development With the co-operation of all Departments, City Management de- veloped a written set of fiscal policies. The fiscal guidelines were to be utilized by the City Council and staff in policy making and in the administration of those policies. The fiscal policies developed in 1989 were implemented to establish the 1990 budget and provided significant assistance to the City Council.
