Schmidt had asked John Vinton and Barbara Arney, Government Training Service, that staff present the tough issues that the councilmembers are going to have to face over the next couple of years. The Old Highway 8 corridor study would be a part of that information, but we also need to look at infrastructure. The City needs to look at policies and see how they need to be modified in order to finance whatever major improvements this council might have to act on over the next few years.
