The 1989 PRCP included a <br />project list \-Vhy is this any different? <br /> <br />How can it be classified as a refinement plan when it lacks standard features such as policies? <br />The 1989 (PRep) contained the fi)IJO\;vlng number of policies: <br /> <br />Plmming and Implementation (15) <br />Facility, Programs, and Services (18) <br />Physical Access (7) <br />Community Involvement (4-+) <br />Public A\vareness (5) <br />Coordination 03+) <br />Urban Design (4+) <br />Economic Diversification (5+) <br />Facility Redevelopment and Change (6) <br />Community Wide ResouTces Policies: <br />Willamette and McKenzie Rivers (7) <br />South Hills (5) <br />Delta Ponds (5) <br />Amazon Channel (6) <br />~jiHrace and Other W~f~t;;.tyYAy'Q (3) <br />Total (103+) <br /> <br />The 2005 PROS Plan contains no called out policies, Why v,;as this letl out? Omissions in the <br />proposed PROS Plan should have been revealed to the public, and not left tor the public to <br />discover themselves at this late date. <br /> <br />H(}\v many 1989 PRCP projects have yet been built that are still viable projects, Should not those <br />projects that have been on the waiting list for 16 years go to the top ofthe new list? <br /> <br />The public was not iniorrned that the plan \-vas going to be split in t\VO \vhen it was being <br />developed. "Vill this pian be annually reviesvcd as "vas the 1989 PRep was supposed to be <br />revie\ved? <br /> <br />Page 1 of2 <br />
