Roll call vote; the motion passed unanimously, 8:0. City Manager Johnson asked the council to consider Council Bill 4759 by number only. Councilor Taylor, seconded by Councilor Kelly, moved that the bill be approved and given final passage. Councilor Fart indicated he would support the motion but said there were many in the community who believed that the charter amendment had been interpreted beyond the citizens' intent. Roll call vote; the motion passed unanimously, 8:0, and became Ordinance No. 20223. 6. ACTION: Adoption of the Capital Improvement Program Councilor Taylor, seconded by Councilor Kelly, moved to adopt the Capital Improvement Program for fiscal years 2002-2007 with changes as proposed by the Budget Committee. Councilor Kelly thanked staff for the information in the packet and requested a copy of the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) from 1999. Councilor Nathanson referred to page 223 of the agenda packet, which mentioned the goals of the CIP. She hoped that when the document was published next year, staff considered rephrasing the goals somewhat. For example, the first goal mentioned balance, but did not explain what was meant by balance. Referring to page 260 of the document, Councilor Nathanson suggested that in the future the location of new capital facilities be mentioned in the document as well. Referring to page 264, Councilor Nathanson thanked staff for the project related to Amazon Creek Park. Regarding page 265, she asked if it would be prudent to add a section to next year's CIP regarding leased facilities such as branch libraries. City Manager Johnson said he would work with the CIP staff on that issue; he was unsure that such costs needed to be in the CIP if they were in the regular budget. Councilor Nathanson suggested the City's bicycle paths were so well-used it might be time to consider wider paths and, in some cases, separated paths.
