Background and Analysis:
Introduction
The Capital Facilities Plan (CFP) is an annually-updated document that is used to identify funding for City capital projects on a 6-year horizon, as required by the state Growth Management Act. The CFP reflects priorities in each City program.
At the July meeting, the BPAC formed a subcommittee to draft a memo to kick off this meeting’s discussion. Subcommittee Chair Scott Morgan will share the draft memo and report on the subcommittee’s process. Members of the subcommittee may also share their thoughts about the draft memo.
Suggested approach for review
The CFP can be found at the City’s Budget 365 page. A link is attached.
The focus of the BPAC’s review should be the programs and projects that relate to bicycle and pedestrian transportation. Staff suggests that BPAC members read the following sections, which total 55 pages.
