III. Activities For Longer-Term Consideration
The activities in this section are not yet ready for a detailed City response, for a number of reasons: (1) because the neighborhood needs to develop the idea further; 2) the activities are of interest for the longer-term; and/or 3) the activities were proposed as a result of validation and the City did not have time to develop a detailed response. As a result, the City is not likely to work proactively to implement the activities in this section. Instead, the activities will be included in the City's database for monitoring neighborhood plan implementation. Should an opportunity arise to further develop the activity, the City will work with neighborhood representatives to consider the activities for implementation. Opportunities might include combining the activity with another City project, or finding a source of funding through a new or expanded federal or state grant program. If the neighborhood or City staff further develop any of these activities to a level sufficient for a more detailed City response, they will be considered relative to the neighborhood's priorities for other activities being considered for implementation. For items requiring Council approval, an amendment to the City's approved work program for the neighborhood plan may be presented to the City Council for approval.
