A. Council Priority Session Follow -up; <br />Facilitator Reeves explained the process as paring the list of priorities down to a <br />manageable size. <br />Council comments included clarification that because an issue appears on the list does not <br />mean there is consensus from Council. The point was made that some priorities are policy <br />issues rather than requiring funding. Further comment was that the ranking does not <br />necessarily reflect importance and lower ranked items may be items already in progress. <br />Discussion continued around staff or Council sub - committee impact that could affect <br />elimination of priorities. <br />Education/Youth <br />The suggestion of grouping After School Programs with Homework Centers (Items 1 and <br />2) under Education and Schools was brought up along with the point that some items could <br />be further grouped. <br />Facilitator Reeves asked for items considered to be ongoing and not going to cause an <br />impact such as the Media Centers. Council continued that there is collaboration between <br />the City and Schools and encouraged expansion of matching funds programs to provide a <br />greater impact. Consensus was for further exploration to occur by the Council rather than <br />the schools committee. <br />The PAL facility was agreed would be funded mostly through CDGB and other funds. <br />Increase in playing fields issue to be discussed in upcoming CIP session. <br />Childcare facilities to be handled in 00/02 budget and funding collabortion to occur for 1 -5 <br />year olds. <br />Redwood Shores library/middle/high school childcare /community center to be discussed <br />simultaneously. Discussion included having committee explore and make <br />recommendations as to highest demand and need to focus on first. <br />Seed dollars (collaborate projects — music art in schools) maintenance costs be absorbed by <br />Parks and Recreation to allot toward music art in schools. <br />Transportation/Traffic <br />Consensus to group promoting many forms of transportation with City bus shuttle. <br />STUDY SESSION <br />MINUTES <br />MARCH 6, 2000 <br />PAGE 2 <br />MINUTES Book No.58 <br />Page NO. 50 <br />
