REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS 3a Review of 2014 and 2017 Citizen Survey results Staff member James Hubbard provided an overview of the 2014 and 2017 Citizen Survey response rates and the results of questions related to sidewalks and pedestrian mobility. 3b Discussion of sidewalk policy recommendation Committee member Nichols shared her personal experience regarding the current sidewalk policy and suggested the next survey make a clear distinction between sidewalks and trails. The Committee agreed characteristics of sidewalks and trails should be defined. Vice Chair Waltens suggested a voluntary funding program for sidewalks. Committee member Cobben-Murr stated the cost of sidewalks should be transparent so the community can weigh their desires against construction costs and remediation should be considered with the new policy. A remediation program could be used to remove sidewalk segments that will not connect to future sidewalks. Historical Preservation Committee DRAFT - Minutes February 9, 2017 City of Colleyville Page 2 Mr. Waltens distributed an outline of a sidewalk policy he began in his personal time to guide the Committee. The key components of Mr. Waltens plan included (1) that the current sidewalk policy be revoked (2) continue to require sidewalk construction in all new residential and commercial developments (3) continue to require sidewalk construction as part of new home construction if the lot is on a road where a sidewalk already exists (4) establish a two-tiered voluntary sidewalk fund on the utility bill (5) establish a prioritized list of where it make sense to construct future sidewalks (6) incorporate sidewalk construction, and the required funding, into existing projects on the capital improvement program to be constructed in conjunction with the project (7) repairs to existing sidewalks should be funded from the General Fund (8) a new Sidewalk Ad Hoc Committee should be established in two years to evaluate progress and viability of this plan. The committee discussed Mr. Waltens proposed plan outline and unanimously agreed to use it as a foundation from which to build a more detailed plan. The use of a voluntary funding component was discussed in greater detail and the Committee agreed to discuss this further and to hold all funding discussions until the end of the policy development process. 6.
