TPC recommendations are reviewed for approval by the MPC/MPO, including review of regional projects in which the City is a stakeholder. On December 8, 2004 the City Council held a work session on the draft FY2005-2007 MTIP project list. A motion was passed to table the agenda item until January 19, 2004. The item was later moved to the January 24, 2005, council work session. The following motions were made before the item was tabled: 1. Ms. Bettman, seconded by Mr. Poling, moved to approve the Eugene's project list in the draft FY2005-2007 Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program. 2. Mr. Kelly, seconded by Ms. Taylor, moved to drop the Chad Drive project from the Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program. 3. Ms. Bettman, seconded by Ms. Taylor, moved to substitute a motion that the City of Eugene resubmit all of the City's projects that were competing for STIP-U money under a category of maintenance and preservation so that the City could still compete for this money but it would be allocated to maintenance and preservation projects. RELATED CITY POLICIES The Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) guides the regional transportation system planning in the metropolitan area. The RTP includes provisions for meeting the transportation demand of residents over a 20-year planning horizon while addressing transportation issues and making changes that can contribute to improvements to the City of Eugene and the region's quality of life and economic vitality. The Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program (MTIP) reflects the programming of projects over a three-year period consistent with the system improvements element of the RTP and the City's transportation system plan (Transplan). COUNCIL OPTIONS Although the MPC has adopted the FY2005-2007 MTIP, the City Council may still request that the MPC consider changes to the FY2005-2007 MTIP project list. The City Council may: 1. Approve the project list in the FY2005-2007 MTIP; 2. Not approve the project list in the FY2005-2007 MTIP; or 3. Provide comments to the MPC requesting specific changes to the project list in the FY2005-2007 MTIP. CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION The City Manager recommends that the City Council approve the project list in the FY2005-2007 Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program. The project list does not include any new allocation of state or federal funds by the MPC. The two new City of Eugene projects, the realignment of Airport Road and the Patterson Street Underpass, have been previously reviewed and approved by the City Council. Initial funding for both projects was approved by the council with the adoption of Supplemental Budget #1 to the FY05 Annual Budget on December 6, 2005.
