1. Robert Strong, Community Development Director, again reviewed the
recommendation of the Planning Commission for implementing the 1975/76 C.I.P.
priority list. He again reviewed the five basic priority categories that
the Planning Commission and Citizens Advisory Committee felt should first be
met in aligning the C.I.P. list. He then.submitted a project priority list
for the C.I.P. priority list for the Council's consideration.
Under the following classifications:
' A. Project Advisory Committee by rp for Council action - 10. projects
B. Resource and Facility Inventory Studies - 7 projects
C.__. Deficiency Correction Projects..- 13projects .. .
R.D. Miller, Administrative Officer, stated that he appreciated this input
to'the C.I.P. from Mr. Strong, but feit that due to the late date in bringing
the new procedure to the Council, he urged-the Council to continue with their
past practices for this year's C.I.P. and maybe consider Mr. Strong's sug-
gestions for future "years:
David Williamson stated that he.felt that the C.I.P *as now done by the City
was a project- oriented plan, and he felt that this was not the correct
approach as a C.I.P. should be a program- oriented plan, with a view not only
to making needed improvements to the City's infrastructure, but should be
looked at on a full - program basis.
John Brown arrived and took his place at 12:45 p.m.
The City Council discussed the report of the Planning Commission and Robert
Strong dealing with the current C.I.P. priority listing and future approaches
to the C.I.P. priority lists. The Council basically agreed with the sug-
gestions of the Planning Commission and Citizens,Advisory Committee for
arriving at future C.I.P. priority lists.
Mayor Schwartz critized the recommendation of the Planning Commission in the
way they established their priority categories which he felt were established
to-support development of the community with appurtenances. Mayor Schwartz
then suggested what he felt were better worded categories than those presented
by Robert.Strong, as follows: .
1. Committee's projects by prior Council action.
2. Safety elements.
3. Corrected deficiencies.
