The council is scheduled to take action on <br />this item on April 10, 2006. <br /> <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br /> <br />The Project and Priority Plan contains specific project information, including a timeframe for project <br />implementation and cost estimates. To aid in reviewing the plan, the project information is structured in <br />several different formats including tables organized by planning area and tables organized by project <br />type. The Project and Priority Plan also includes maps showing existing and proposed resources for <br />each planning area and for the entire city. <br /> <br />The Parks, Recreation and Open Space (PROS) Comprehensive Plan, adopted by City Council on <br />February 13, 2006, provides concepts, principles, goals and strategies to guide preservation and <br />enhancement of Eugene’s parks, recreation and open space system. The projects identified in the <br />Project and Priority Plan are some of the means by which the strategies identified in the PROS <br />Comprehensive Plan can be implemented. As was the case with the PROS Comprehensive Plan, the <br />Project and Priority Plan is the direct result of outreach to thousands of Eugene residents. <br /> <br />The Project and Priority Plan is intended to be a living document and, as such, individual projects may <br />be delayed if funding cannot be identified within the shown timeline. Likewise, individual projects may <br />be moved forward if funding is identified earlier than shown in the timeline. <br /> <br />A City Council Work Session was held on the proposed Project and Priority Plan on February 13, 2006. <br />Attachment A to this agenda item summary (AIS) is a memorandum responding to questions from the <br />council regarding growth allocation percentages. The memorandum describes how the growth <br />allocation percentages were calculated, and describes the relationship of these percentages to the System <br />Development Charge methodology currently under review by a Rates Advisory Committee. <br /> <br />Attachment B is a spreadsheet responding to questions from the council regarding projected service <br />levels for each planning area based on the priority assignments in the Project and Priority Plan. This <br />analysis includes projected service levels resulting from the implementation of Priority 1 projects. <br /> L:\CMO\2006 Council Agendas\M060313\S0603137.doc <br /> <br />
