Councilmember Heinrich thanked staff for bringing this forth and for the engaging process. She stated that she is hopeful that her proposed revisions would better reflect the input she has received from residents. Councilmember Riley stated that even though water issues are identified in the plan, he believed that the new water levels of manganese should be addressed and moved to the top of the list. He stated that 47 and CR 5 have been on strategic plans for years and was not aware that those items would be removed, although acknowledged that there are some higher priorities at this time. Mayor LeTourneau stated that there have been aspects of activities on both corridors but agreed that there are remaining activities needed on both corridors. Councilmember Kuzma stated that going through this process helped to bring the new Councilmembers up to speed and he appreciated that process. Mayor LeTourneau expressed appreciation for the group and staff that went through this productive process and allowed for everyone to come to a place of agreement. He reminded the group how the meetings were convened, making a decision in advance using the information at the time. He believed that the plan is solid as presented and encouraged the Council to adopt the plan. He stated that he would also like to be sensitive to what was not known at the time and would like the opportunity to review these two issues at a worksession in the near future. He recognized that some items may raise in priority while others fall, understanding the need to prioritize in order to make the plan better and accomplish actions. City Administrator Ulrich stated that there was new information regarding water and stated that one of the action items could easily be amended to include that action. Mayor LeTourneau agreed that decision could be made at a future worksession. Councilmember Heinrich stated that it was her understanding that the work at the previous meetings regarding the worksessions were at higher levels and did not review the specific action items in detail. She believed that there would be another meeting to provide input on the action items before this moved forward. City Administrator Ulrich stated that the last worksession did go down to the action item level with the understanding that the plan would come to the Council for approval and adoption at this Council meeting. He believed that the document incorporates the discussion at the worksession. City Council/May 28,2019 Page 11 of 13
