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. Members of the subcommittee may share their thoughts about the draft memo before the full Committee's discussion begins.
Suggested approach for review
The CFP can be found at the City's Budget/Financial Reports page. We have attached a link.
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:
