Well, I guess we'll see just how much of it rubs off on you, now won't we.
So far - not impressed.

>
> Chapter 2, Title 11 of the Moscow City Code regulates the use of
>motorized vehicles on bike paths and pedestrian walkways within the City.
>A map of these paths and walkways was adopted at the time the Ordinance was
>put in place. The map currently in effect is dated February 5, 1991 and
>does not include the numerous paths and walkways constructed since that
>date. City Code allows City Council to adopt revisions to the map by
>resolution. The Paradise Path Task Force has worked with the Moscow
>Transportation Commission and Parks and Recreation and Engineering staff to
>produce an updated version of the map for adoption by the Council. The
>updated version of the map was reviewed and approved by the Parks and
>Recreation Commission at their January 25, 2007 meeting.

>
>
> ACTION: Recommend approval of the Resolution and map or take such
>other action deemed appropriate.

> 3. Paradise Path Policy Statement Adoption - Roger Blanchard
>
> On October 10, 2006, the Paradise Path Task Force approved a draft
>policy statement confirming the City's commitment to developing the
>Paradise Path system along identified corridors and adjacent areas in
>Moscow. The document recognizes that the Path connects developed and
>undeveloped areas of Moscow and is an evolving, organic part of the City's
>Park and Recreation system. Defined path corridors and projects as of
>October 2006 are also described. The policy statement was reviewed and
>endorsed by the City Parks and Recreation Commission on January 25, 2007.

>
> ACTION: Recommend adoption of the Paradise Path Policy Statement or
>take other such action as deemed appropriate.

> 4. Background Checks - Gary J. Riedner
>
> There has been recent interest in conducting background checks of
>volunteer coaches for City Parks and Recreation programs. Staff has
>researched what process other surrounding communities are using and
>potential vendors that could provide such a service. Staff recommends that
>the Council consider the formulation of a committee to study and make
>recommendations on a background check program and associated policies for
>the Council's consideration.
>
>
>
> ACTION: Recommend use of a background check program or take such

> 5. Comprehensive Plan Consultant Selection Committee Recommendation
>- Joel Plaskon
>
> The Mayor and City Council have authorized funding in the fiscal year
>2007 budget to hire a consultant to aid in the re-writing of the Moscow
>Comprehensive Plan. A selection committee consisting of the Mayor, City
>Council President (now past president), Planning and Zoning Commission
>Chairman and four department heads reviewed the responses to the Request
>for Qualifications and interviewed the top three consultants. The
>respondents were scored based upon; professional qualifications of the
>respondent, depth of available resources for the project, relevant
>experience on similar projects, and personal interviews. The consultants
>interviewed were Kendig Keast Collaborative, Cogan Owens Cogan, and Peter
>J. Smith. Upon conclusion of the interviews, the selection committee
>unanimously recommended the selection of Kendig Keast Collaborative. Staff
>has begun preliminary discussions of project scope and cost with
>representatives of Kendig Keast and will bring forward a professional
>services contract for the Council's consideration at a future date.

>
> On December 18th, 2006, the County forwarded to the City an application
>to plat an approximately 0.95 acre parcel within the Area of City Impact
>into two half-acre single family lots. The subject property is owned by
>Gerardo and Patricia Alvarez and currently vacant/pasture-land on the south
>side of Mountain View Road and north of Dave's Avenue. The subject parcel
>is currently zoned low density, single-family residential (R-1). The
>Moscow Comprehensive Plan designates all of the land in this area as Low
>Density Residential (LR). As described in the application, the subject
>plat will allow for two additional residential lots to exist with frontage
>(access) off of Mountain View Road. The applicants are requesting that
>future development of the land be allowed to connect to existing city sewer
>and water services. Based on the existing city annexation policy, the
>applicants would be required to request annexation prior to the city
>providing these services. Therefore, the applicant has agreed that a
>condition of final plat approval will be to request annexation of both
>properties into the City. Additionally, no permits for residential
>development that require extension of City water and sewer will be
>permitted until such annexation has occurred.
>
>
>
> ACTION: Recommend that Council recommend approval of the lot division;
>or recommend denial; or take such other action deemed appropriate to be
>forwarded to the County Commissioners.

> 5. First Street Traffic Flow - Les MacDonald
>
> On April 19, 2006, Mayor Chaney received an email from Lynn and Vince
>Murray regarding speed and traffic volume increases on First Street east of
>the couplet. The Lynn indicated that since couplet construction cut off
>the use of A Street as an east-west corridor, they have experienced an
>increase in traffic usage on First Street. With the number of community
>activity sites such as schools, parks, library, and churches along this
>route, the increase in traffic has created an unsafe condition and
>decreased the "quality of the neighborhood". Mayor Chaney forwarded the
>Murray's request for action onto the Public Works Department and the
>Transportation Commission for review. The Transportation Commission
>started discussion on the topic of First Street on April 27th. As the
>Commission delved further into the subject it became apparent that the
>issues of east-west traffic, vehicular corridors, street classifications,
>pedestrian and bicycle safety, and neighborhood quality of life were issues
>that needed to be addressed throughout the east side of the city. With
>this in mind the commission discussed these issues on a larger scale
>throughout the course of the summer. Traffic volumes and speed data were
>collected by the Engineering Division and presented to the commission along
>with traffic accident histories, stop sign locations, locations of
>community activity centers, and street classifications. A summary of the
>minutes from the multiple commission meetings are attached for reference.
>To date the commission has not completed its discussion on this overall
>issue for the city. A recommendation for treatments on 1st Street was
>forwarded to the Mayor in an email in July. The Public Works Department
>has been implementing these recommendations as weather and workloads
>permit. One of the key timing issues was the completion of the Sixth
>Street Project and the retiming of the traffic signals along Third Street.
>It was believed by the Commission that these ongoing projects could have a
>detrimental affect on the traffic on First Street. The Sixth Street
>project is now complete, but the Engineering Staff is continuing work with
>ITD on the retiming of the Third Street signals. Painting of the
>crosswalks will occur in the spring and installation of additional speed
>limit signs will occur over the winter or early spring.

>
> Moscow's Engineering Department is proposing to change the name of Alma
>Drive in Pope's Third Addition to Conestoga Drive. These two streets align
>with each other at their intersection with Sunnyside Avenue. By changing
>Alma to Conestoga there would be continuity in name and alignment as

> C. Public Information and Education Contract Renewal with PCEI - Tom
>Scallorn
>
> The City of Moscow wishes to continue its Community Based Public
>Information and Education Program (PIE) for Water Conservation. The program
>will serve our customers in their homes, businesses, and the local schools
>and will address many of the Conservation needs of the community. The
>current contract is a renewal of our PIE program that has been conducted by
>Palouse-Clearwater Environmental Institute (PCEI) for the past year. The
>current scope of work was adjusted to fit the current budget by removing
>the in-home and business visits. Water conservation continues to be very
>important and a highly visible issue in the City of Moscow. With the
>implementation of a conservation ordinance and conservation rate structure,
>community and school-based education becomes a vital water conservation
>measure to be included in our Water Conservation Program. The use of PCEI
>will continue to assure the success of our PIE program in that PCEI has
>demonstrated that staff, experience, and network resources are available to
>implement the proposed scope of work in an expedient manner. Reviewed by
>the Administrative Committee on January 22, 2007.

>project that the Lions are currently conducting. Lions Park is located
>upon the Latah County Fairgrounds property and the existing playground
>equipment is in poor condition and does not meet current playground safety
>requirements. Currently the Lions report that they are over $28,000 toward
>their project goal of $35,000 and they are requesting that the City
>contribute $3,000 to the project. If the Council desires to fund the
