The vote to approve the minutes was unanimous. WORKSESSION AGENDA ITEMS 1. Discussion of a Proposed Amendment to the Colleyville Pathways Plan to include a Sidewalk Master Plan Jeremy Hutt opened the meeting with a couple of items requested at the last worksession. First was an updated sidewalk escrow list which was provided by the Finance Department, and second was the bid tab and line item break down for the 2008 Sidewalk Improvement Project. This will help Committee members to understand the funds available and the cost break down of current projects. Gail Manion requested that staff check into the estate homes along Bransford Road, they were not listed on the escrow list; Jeremy Hutt agreed to look into this. Odilon Alvarado asked what the escrowed money could be use for and Jeremy Hutt gave a brief explanation. David Klenzendorf questioned if the 2008 Sidewalk Improvement Bids came in at the expected cost; Jeremy Hutt stated that overall the final cost was as expected. Jeremy Hutt brought an updated sidewalk map with the Committee's recommendations from the last worksession. Tony Licata was unable to attend the last worksession; he had questions concerning the options agreed to at the last worksession. Jeremy Hutt gave a quick review of the options. Tony Licata stated that in his opinion it was a two step process. The most important question for the Committee to ask is number one..."What do we want the City to look like from a Trails and Sidewalk perspective when it's done"? Number two "When funds are being escrowed, how do we want to make this happen"? The discussion continued on issues to consider while making their recommendations. In addition, the Committee would like to hold a public meeting once the plan is complete. The Committee went to work on color coding the updated map. Colleyville Trails and Sidewalks Committee Worksession Minutes -July 1, 2008 Tony Licata bought to the Committee's attention an option used at the City of Keller for areas that may be redeveloped. He stated that in the City of Keller, when an area is being redeveloped the developer has to contribute to a general sidewalk fund, even if sidewalks are not required. This may be an option that the Committee may want to look into; noting that it would require a policy change to set up a fund dedicated to sidewalks, but not necessarily tied to a specific property. Jeremy Hutt agreed to look into a general sidewalk fund and how it would work. Discussion and color coding continued, with the understanding that some of the areas being reviewed may need to be revisited. Jeremy Hutt informed the Committee that in addition to sidewalk recommendations, they could also recommend a sidewalk be upgraded to a trail. Jeremy Hutt agreed to update the map and emailed it to the Committee members so they could see the gaps and look at those areas before the next worksession. STAFF REPORTS The committee agreed to have another worksession to continue working on the Sidewalk Master Plan. The worksession will be set for Tuesday, July 29, 2008 at 4:00 p.m. ADJOURNMENT The meeting adjourned at 5:58 p.m. Respectfully Submitted, ~.
