Street Bridge Replacement over Fanno Creek and Tigard Street Bridge Replacement over
Fanno Creek—that were originally on the candidate lists had been removed because of the
timing requirements involved with bridge replacement projects.
Committee members discussed how the ranking criteria (Attachment B) should be used to
inform their rankings.Judith Gray explained that the criteria were used by the City's CIP
management team and were meant to be a guide to help committee members rank projects.
There was discussion about the committee developing its own goals for this process in future
years.
The committee asked if they could vote on modified versions of the candidate projects. For
example, instead of voting for a complete streets project could they vote for a project at the
same site that would have incremental improvements and be more likely to have funding. Mike
suggested that committee members have the opportunity to suggest candidate project
modifications ahead of voting next year. Additionally, he suggested that there be a future
agenda item for the committee to discuss whether it wants to see more incremental approaches
to projects.
The committee members were then asked to rank their top 10 priority projects with the greatest
priority receiving 10 points, the next priority 9 points, and so on. The rankings were tallied.
There was discussion about how to present the committee's recommendations to City Council.
It was decided that the project rankings and total points would be sent to Council with
comments from individual committee members.
