II. CONSENT CALENDAR A. Approval of City Council Minutes August 9, 1999, Council Meeting; September 8, 1999 Work Session; September 22, 1999, Work Session; September 27, 1999, Council Meeting; September 29, 1999, Joint Elected Officials Meeting; Councilor Nathanson, seconded by Councilor Taylor, moved to approve the items on the Consent Calendar. Councilor Nathanson offered an alternative wording to paragraph 2 of page 6 of the minutes of September 8: "Ms. Nathanson suggested that if the staff presentation was shown in other places or on Metrovision, which she thought it should be, she wanted one change. She pointed out that there were several examples of costs generally listed as 'cons' that raised the issue of life cycle costs for her. Ms. Nathanson pointed out that while it might cost 30 percent more to build a certain kind of street, that street could require less long-term expense than a street built to a lesser standard. She said that the initial cost was not the only cost to taxpayers to worry about." Councilor Kelly offered a correction to page 3 of the September 8 minutes. He noted that the name Hawken was misspelled in paragraph 10. He also asked that the second sentence in the following paragraph be modified as follows (struck text deleted; italicized text added): "He said that there is a council goal regarding sustainability and a definition that articulated that goal which ~ would be the start toward an overarching policy." Councilor Meisner also had a correction to the September 8 minutes. Referring to paragraph 7 on page 11, he said the word "redistricting" should be proceeded by the word not. Councilor Taylor asked that the minutes of September 8 be set aside until she could listen to the audio tape and formulate a correction. The council agreed. Councilor Meisner determined that there was no objection to the other suggested revisions to the minutes of September 8. Roll call vote; the motion to approve the Consent Calender passed unanimously.
