3. FY 2015 Budget Update —Toby
Toby told the TTAC members prioritizing the projects on the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) kicks off
the budget process. The city then works on the operating budgets and financial resources available to
match up with the priorities on the CIP. At the end of next week city departments will start putting
together their operating budgets and engineering will start costing out the top projects to match with
available funding sources. At the end of March, beginning of April, the Finance staff starts doing the
technical part, assembling the data for review to begin at the end of April.
4. 99W/Gaarde/McDonald Project Update—Mike
The right-of-way acquisition costs came in higher than anticipated. The project plan has been modified to
keep the project costs more in line with the original budget. The revised project should happen in 2015.
5. SW Corridor Update—Mike
A. The SW corridor Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) is looking at actual routes that could be
served by either light rail or bus rapid transit. Tigard Senior Transportation Planner Judith Gray
will bring the TAC's study results to the February TTAC meeting. Staff will be looking for some
feedback from TTAC members. Once the most viable alternatives have been identified, the next
step is to do a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS).
B. Tom Mills from TriMet will also be attending the February TTAC meeting to talk about the SW
Service Enhancement Plan which purpose is to look at bus service in this area and where it can be
improved.
6. Paving Report - Mike
(Attachment 1)
The maps show what was done in 2012 and what was done in 2013. Since 2009, the city has paved or
slurry sealed more than half the streets in the city. The expectation is slurry seal will last approximately
eight years. All the streets in the city that are candidates for slurry seal have been completed. Charts on
pages 3, 4 and 5 are indicators of road conditions and the impacts of paving activity. Revenues for street
maintenance have come in at about where staff thought they would. The city has accomplished
everything it can with slurry seal and needs to move on to some larger, more challenging, more costly road
improvements. New guidance form the federal government about road standards that comply with the
Americans with Disability Act (ADA), require the city to replace ramps to ADA standards on future road
improvements. This requirement could increase costs for road improvements as much as 15%.
