Dave Baker, City Engineer, stated this plan must be issued
each year and is developed from information received from
Council members and others. Each pro3ect proposed was
categorized as either ."maintenance" or "new construction".
If identified as maintenance then it would go to the Street
Department to be included in their Budget for the next year.
If it is new construction it is looked at farther,
determining if it is on the arterial or off and if it is on
there is a process which looks at traffic , accident record,
need. If not on the arterial system but needs construction
then again look at it how much traffic impact, number of
accidents, need, and how much will it cost. The "on
arterial" projects go on the list not by priority but by how
much money ~s available. The proposed pro3ects are
prioritized as to accidents, traffic volumes. Those
projects which are "off arterial system"' and need
construction are strongly recommended for funding through an
LID or private funds but not funded with the ~¢ gas tax.
The first priority for use of the ~¢ gas tax is for matching
funds for grants, secondly to pay for the pro3ects that are
on the arterial system, with the remaining pro3ects funded
from other sources. Pro3ects listed numbering 1 through 9
are pro3ects which already have funding identified, not
listed as to highest priority. The remaining pro3ects are
listed based on the year when funds would be available to do
preliminary engineering, engineering and construction. Only
those pro3ects listed on the TIP can receive State funding.
Mr. Overson questioned if the one-way street grid was
included. Mr. Baker stated no - because it has not been
officially adopted in the Transportation Plan, but
hopefully it will be adopted this year and at that time an
amendment will be make to the TIP.
M/S/C/U(Crutcher/Waibel) to approve Resolution #2173,
adopting the Six-Year Transportation Improvement Plan.
President Horninc and Morrie Dawkins stepped down prior to
the hearing Item 8A and Mr. Waibel served as Acting
President.
