Chair Wozniak thought this pathway may be the best option for this right-of-way <br />and it grants access to the park. He thought concerns about the wetland are valid <br />but if it became a pathway, he thought this segment would receive a lot more park <br />renewal funds. He thought there would be some tremendous improvements to the <br />vegetation and to the wetland and park itself. He saw a lot of positives happening <br />even though some people would lose access to their houses, and he did not know <br />how to overcome or replace that. He indicated he would supportthis segment added <br />to the Pathway Masterplan. <br />Motion <br />Member Wozniak moved, Member Ficek seconded, to recommend the City <br />Council approval of the Tamarack Pathway segment to the proposed Pathway <br />Master Plan Amendments. <br />Vice Chair Ficek agreed with what Chair Wozniak stated and what a lot of his <br />questions have been driving towards is that the Commission is not comparing atrail <br />to the existing condition. What the Commission is really looking at is a trail versus <br />something that goes forward with the residents costing them more money, <br />potentially a wider road, more impacts, and more expense to everyone. He <br />explained he was weighing those two future conditions against each other in his <br />decision making. He thought there were lots of issues on this one, but the City is <br />not comparing a trail to the existing condition, the Commission is looking at what <br />would go forward and what that other future condition may be. <br />Ayes: 5 <br />Nays: 1 (Spencer) <br />Motion carried. <br />Member Misra wanted to thank the residents that spoke up and thought they have <br />been very courteous. <br />Chair Wozniak suggested tabling the City Council Joint Meeting Review item until <br />the August meeting given the time. He asked if members were in agreement with <br />that. <br />Consensus of the Commission was to table Item 6 (City Council Joint Meeting <br />Review) until the August PWETC meeting. <br />6. City Council Joint Meeting Review <br />7. Items for Next Meeting — August 24, 2021 <br />Discussion ensued regarding the August PWETC agenda: <br />• City Council Joint Meeting Review <br />• Conversation regarding the Implementation of the Energy Action Plan <br />• City Campus Tour in the future, possibly September <br />Page 9 of 10 <br />
