Keep impervious area to what is necessary Chair DeBenedet said the important thing about the cul-du-sac was to review the design, whether the island is viable Member Neprash moved to adopt the list of 11 recommendations to send on to the Planning Commission. Member Willenbring seconded. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 Motion carried 7. Pathway Master Plan Discussion Chair DeBenedet asked what the City's current funding options were regarding constructing pathways. Mr. Schwartz said there is no current construction budget, only a maintenance budget. A construction budget will be a discussion point for the 2008 budget process. Ms. Bloom went through a list of pathways that have already been constructed. Chair DeBenedet said he wanted to discuss how to put money back in the budget for constructing new pathways. He said one step would be to communicate with other commissions on how they want to proceed. Member Neprash said one possibility would be a separate, temporary committee set up just to look at this issue, although he wasn't convinced that was necessary. Chair DeBenedet said he didn't think the Pathway Master Plan needed to be redone, but that they should request from the City Council the means to accomplish the recommendations in the old plan within 10 years.
