3.1 AddendumCOUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
DATE: JANUARY 29, 2016
TO: MAYOR AND TOWN COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: 02/02/16
ITEM NO: 3. 1
FROM: LAUREL PREVETTI, TOWN MANAGER
SUBJECT: ENDORSE THE DRAFT PREFERRED ALLOCATION OF 2016 TRANSPORTATION
SALES TAX MEASURE FUNDS WITH DISCRETION FOR THE MAYOR AND
TOWN MANAGER TO ADVOCATE THE TOWN'S POSITION AND REFINE THE
DRAFT ALLOCATION IN COORDINATION WITH NINE WEST AND NORTH
VALLEY CITIES.
REMARKS:
After the staff report was prepared for distribution, staff received an inquiry on the subject of this agenda
item.
The Council Report for this item has been structured with a subject, a staff recommendation and
alternatives. It is the Town's practice for the subject and recommendation to match. The purpose of this
addendum is to recognize that this report could have been structured differently by asking for Council
input without providing a staff recommendation. In this case, staff provided a recommendation because
of their involvement and experience in the transportation topic. The staff recommendation provides one
option for the Council to consider. As with all agenda items, it is the Council's purview to pursue the
recommendation, alternatives that have been provided by staff, or other alternatives the Council may
identify.
Staff structured the report with a single recommendation and additional alternatives. Together those
include:
• Supporting the draft allocation
• Supporting the draft allocation with authority for the Mayor and Manager to modify it
(the staff recommendation in the report)
• Do not support the allocation.
• Another alternative developed by the Council
