Regular City Council Meeting Monday, October 8, 2018 Page 15 Councilmember McGehee concurred with Councilmember Laliberte and thought this was a funding idea and was for funding networks. When she read it, she thought it was funding pathways that are specific to get to school. Educating about the pathway to get to school is simply how the City puts it out there about the network and that is something that the school will do. She stated she would like to see that in a different section. Mayor Roe indicated he could not find another section that statement could go in- to. The City does not mention funding mechanisms anywhere else in the docu- ment. Councilmember Etten asked if the Council wanted to have a separate section for that. Mayor Roe was not sure if the City wanted to add more stuff to the document that wasn't there already. He thought the solution may be to remove 21a from the document. He stated in regard to item 16, the discussion of providing incentives, he thought the answer might be to pull out low interest loans and leave the rest as is. Councilmember Laliberte thought since the Council has not had a policy discus- sion on that it really is a "consider incentives" because the City does not know where the funding would come from and not making a promise to provide them. Council agreed to remove the wording "low interest loans" and change "provide" to "consider". Mayor Roe thought the last item Council had was the discussion related to the separate Constellation list as opposed to the rest of the list. Councilmember Etten stated there are certainly some items that are on the Prefer- ence list that have a hash tag that shows the item came over from the Park and Rec Constellation map. He asked how did Item 27, the Tamarack Park Connec- tion, and Item 18, Judith to Iona connection, fit into the combined list. Mr. Freihammer believed the Tamarack connection was a new request from the public when the City had their meeting so that was added and when it was com- pared to the Parks Constellation map there was the overlap, so staff highlighted it rather than pulling it off one or the other. He stated the Judith to Iona connection was on the list previously and cannot speak to how that got on the Pathway Plan previously. It does provide a unique connection to a neighborhood where there is not a lot of connections. It provides a transportation element as well as connect- ing two parks. He could see why it was put on both lists.
