Improvements make up 25% of the city's budget. The city is just beginning to work on
the FY 14 budget. The city CIP team includes representatives from Finance, Public
Works and Community Development who are ranking the projects. They present the
financial forecast to executive staff on November 20`h.A list of projects will go forward
to the City Manager by the end of December.
b. Mike distributed the DRAFT 2013-18 CIP Candidate Project Descriptions (Attachment
4). There are 18 projects. Committee members should pick their top 10 and then
prioritize them, awarding 10 points to their first choice, 9 to their second choice and so
on. Members should eliminate any projects they feel the simply can't support at all.
Many projects that were on last year's list were funded in the CIP last year. Once they are
funded (ex: Walnut Street; Gaarde/Pacific Highway intersection, etc.), they aren't carried
forward on the list. Projects that didn't get funded in the last year are included with the
18 presented here. Projects that aren't scored below 10 last year (all of which received 0
TTAC votes)were dropped. Copies of this document will be mailed out to the TTAC
member who weren't able to make it to tonight's meeting. If you aren't able to make the
December meeting,please complete your rankings and send them in.

Carissa's rating sheet (Attachment 6) and were mailed out to the members on November

paper copies of the 5 year CIP to members if they want.
d. Staff will also take this information to the ped/bike subcommittee (post-meeting update:
the ped/bike subcommittee rated each project on a 0 to 10 scale, and those ratings are
included on the updated project descriptions.)
e. Mike said he would send the committee members an updated version of Attachment 4 in
about two weeks. For now, the members have the list of projects and can start
considering how they would rank them.

Judith told the members Council sets their goals in late December and would especially like to
have input from the Boards and Committees. In order to meet Council's deadline,=TAC will
need to send in their input before TTAC's next regularly scheduled meeting, therefore there
won't be an opportunity for a group discussion. Judith provided a copy of the 2012 council goals
and a copy of TTAC input from a previous year for reference. Please send Judith any input by
the end of next week,Thursday, November 15.
