�: 81 Chair Ficek asked if pathways on both sides were also planned for collector streets. 82 83 Mr. Freihammer indicated even though some collector streets are very important, 84 at this time the plan is to only place pathways on both sides along arterial streets. 85 He noted the pathways to collector streets could be added with an amendment for 86 future work to be done if the Commission had that as a recommendation. 87 88 Chair Ficek indicated the City is not adding to residential roads. 89 90 Mr. Freihammer explained some residential roads are considered collector roads so 91 he would specify local roads and not residential roads. He noted if the Commission 92 wanted to make the recommendation and a motion the next time the Commission 93 discusses that and if there is a need to update the Pathway Master Plan to add 94 segments, he thought it would be a nice amendment to add as a goal in the Pathway 95 Master Plan. 96 97 Chair Ficek added his own opinion for maintenance on County roads if there is any 98 kickback for the City to maintain them. 0 99 100 Mr. Freihammer explained staff has done a lot of pushback with the County to try 101 to change their policies. He noted the City did get a small change to the policy a 102 few years ago. It is a long-term gain, the County, now with the new pathways, even 103 if the City installs it, the County will actually own the pathways. The City still 104 needs to do the maintenance but long term when it needs replacing the County will 105 replace it. He indicated that is a gain for the City. 106 107 Chair Ficek asked if staff is putting as much thought into the pathways along the 108 roads as what is planned for the roads. He thought the better the pathways are 109 designed the longer the pathways will last with less repairs and maintenance to be 110 done to them. 111 112 Mr. Freihammer explained that was correct. The City builds pathways almost to the 113 same standards as the roads. Staff also tries to accommodate for drainage. 114 115 Member Hodder wondered about the funding mechanism. He asked if the 116 Pavement Management fund included the pathways funding or is this fund just for 117 paving of roads. 118 119 Mr. Freihammer explained the Pavement Management fund is just for roads. The 120 City does have the Pathway Maintenance fund which is designed for maintenance 121 of pathways. 122 123 Member Hodder asked where the maintenance funds come from. 124 125 Mr. Freihammer believed the maintenance funds is coming from local taxes.
