Regular City Council Meeting Monday, October 8, 2018 Page 12 Assistant Public Works Director/City Engineer Jesse Freihammer briefly high- lighted this item as detailed in the RCA and related attachments dated October 8, 2018. Mayor Roe stated he had an issue on 18B, the reference to City Code 407.03 is probably correct but the City no longer has an R-1 or R-2 zone in the Zoning Code so staff may want to adjust the wording of that to match the City Zoning Code better. It may require the City to look at the wording of 407.03 also if it has outdated zoning code references in it. He noted once this is published staff needs to make sure all of the references are correct. Councilmember McGehee asked why the City has a Parks Constellation list and the main list. She would like to see those merged so there is one list for the entire City because these are all paths that are connected and not unique. Mr. Freihammer stated staff did keep the two separate lists. The main goal of the Constellation list is to provide connectivity between the parks on a local level and a more regional park level. The overall list provides other connections to adjacent cities, local trails, to business districts and things like that. Staff did add it in but since the two lists serve different purposes, these are on separate lists. Councilmember McGehee did not understand why and did not believe the two lists serve different purposes. These are all transportation routes and all routes for health and wellness and all one group. As the City is thought of as one unit, if those are part of the Master Plan and the trails are laid in, then those should just be in the one document so the Council is not moving back and forth between two documents for information. She did not find that very helpful and did not under- stand it from either a policy or philosophical standpoint because these are all trails, all the same size, and serving the same purpose. She stated if the Parks De- partment wants to keep the two lists, the Parks Department can but she did not think the general public thinks about this as two independent systems. It is one system in one City and one goal the City has to be connected. Mr. Freihammer stated there is some overlap of segments,but the paths are a little different. A lot of the pathway segments the City has are on higher volume roads making larger connections instead of connections between local neighborhood parks. Some of the park's connections may not be as big of a pathway connection as the Pathway Master list is. Mayor Roe thought there should be Council discussion about how the documenta- tion should be provided. Councilmember Laliberte stated previously the Council and staff had a discussion regarding deducting and adding points for a section that might have a sidewalk al-
