Summary

The committee approved the December 15 minutes and voted to recommend keeping the existing master-pathway-plan route (rejecting a resident request to realign a Green Hills Court path). The committee also discussed membership and GIS updates for future outreach.

The committee began by approving the minutes for its prior meeting (voice vote recorded: "Aye; Ayes have it"). Later in the meeting, after a resident requested realignment of a Green Hills Court easement, members examined site photos and GIS layers and concluded the existing master-pathway-plan (MPP) route is safer because an alternative alignment would place users on a spot that drops about 30 feet over 130 feet.

A motion was proposed and seconded that the Pathways Committee not recommend the resident's requested realignment and to retain the current MPP route as constructed; the committee voted in favor with no recorded opposition. The committee recorded this recommendation for forwarding to planning staff and noted that a general-plan amendment would be required if the MPP were to be changed.

On committee business, members discussed adding John Lewis to the committee; staff clarified council appointment is required. The committee also agreed to pursue GIS updates and outreach, including a web page with curated pathway loops and QR codes and a short verification program to walk/drive segments and update the GIS.
