<br />stated once more that she just could not adopt something that transferred the Council’s <br />policy-making authority to the Administration. <br /> <br />Mayor Welsch stated that she does not believe that this transfers the policymaking authority <br />to the administration. As Mr. Walker clarified with Mr. Sharpe, if we adopt this tonight; this <br />will become part of our CIP. As with every other item in the CIP, if and when the money is <br />there to do a project, it will come back to this Council and the Council will have to vote, , as <br />we now do. Mr. Walker or whomever takes over from him in the next ten, fifteen or twenty <br />years, is not going to do this on his own, so it will come back to this Council or future <br />Councils. <br /> <br />Ms. Carr called for a Point of Information. When was it that we voted on any items on the <br />CIP during this last budget session, because she would like to believe the Mayor, but we <br />did not do that. <br /> <br />Ms. Carr asked Mayor Welsch if it was possible to remove the first part and just consider <br />each one of her amendments separately. <br /> <br />Mayor Welsch stated that a motion had been made and seconded and hearing no further <br />discussion she asked the City Clerk to poll Council on Ms. Carr’s motion. <br /> <br /> Roll Call vote was: <br />AYES: <br /> Mr. Price, Ms. Carr and Mr. Crow. <br />NAYS: <br /> Mr. Glickert, Mr. Sharpe, Mr. Kraft and Mayor Welsch. <br /> <br />Voice vote on the motion by Ms. Carr motioned to amend Resolution 2013-17 failed. <br /> <br />Mr. Price asked Mr. Walker if the amendment which stated, “Be it resolved that the City <br />Council of University City directs the City Manager to develop a priority and feasibility list of <br />Bike/Walk Projects for Council approval and implementation,” would destroy the integrity of <br />the Bike Plan? Mr. Walker stated that he did not believe it would. <br /> <br />Mr. Price then made an amendment to insert the aforementioned statement regarding the <br />development of a priority and feasibility list. Mr. Price stated that the list should also <br />provide an estimated funding amount for each project. <br /> <br />Mr. Sharpe stated that he was alright with everything except the funding aspect of the <br />amendment, because the City Manager may not know what the amount would be. <br /> <br />Mr. Price stated that he had added funding on his own. However Ms. Carr’s amendment <br />was to “develop a priority and feasibility list of the Bike/Walk Projects, including accessible <br />sidewalks for Council approval and implementation,” and then when he asked the City <br />Manager if that would destroy the integrity of the project, his answer was no. So his second <br />question to the City Manager was would he have a problem with providing that information? <br />Mr. Walker stated that he did not, but it should be after Council approved the plan, because <br />it should be provided on the basis of the plan. <br /> <br />Mr. Crow applauded Mr. Price for finding a middle ground for Council, and stated that if he <br />could make that into a motion then he could actually go for the acceptance of the plan as <br />well. Mr. Crow stated that he thought the amendment was if we are going to move forward <br />on this plan that it not be approved on a four/three vote, because that is a very hard thing <br />for a local government. Mr. Price came up with a compromise that works, then he thought <br />they could move forward. He seconded this motion. <br /> <br />27 <br /> <br /> <br />
