The MPO is staffed by LCOG and receives technical information from the Transportation Planning <br />Committee, which is made up of senior staff members from the two cities, the county, ODOT, LTD, and <br />Coburg. <br /> <br />The members of MPC make decisions on regional transportation issues, including prioritization and <br />allocation of federal transportation funds, using an informed political process. In determining priorities <br />and allocations, MPC must consider federal requirements. For example, to be eligible for federal STP-U <br />funds, projects must be included in the RTP and categorized as capital improvements (including capital <br />preservation), planning, or transportation demand management projects. Typically, the Transportation <br />Planning Committee (TPC), a staff group of transportation professionals representing the various <br />jurisdictions, prepares project proposals that meet federal requirements, and the MPC factors in <br />available resources, the relative significance of various projects, and other political factors in making its <br />final decisions. <br /> <br />Local guidance on transportation policies is provided through City Council review and adoption of <br />transportation planning documents such as TransPlan (a state planning requirement) and refinement <br />plans such as the Central Area Transportation Study (CATS) and the Downtown Plan. The council also <br />reviews and approves the financial underpinnings for major transportation projects through the Capital <br />Improvement Program and the annual capital budget, taking into account applicable state and federal <br />laws. Assessable transportation projects such as Garden Way come before the council for review and <br />approval of the formation of local improvement districts and the levying of assessments. <br /> <br />Council Action History <br />On July 28, 2003, the Eugene City Council approved a motion directing staff to use any TMA funds for <br />capital preservation. MPC subsequently adopted the final methodology for prioritizing and <br />appropriating TMA funding at its regular meeting on September 11, 2003. The methodology included <br />the four funding categories mentioned above for STP-U applications and did not limit the TMA funds to <br />capital preservation. The City Council on September 24, 2003, then approved a motion "to direct the <br />city manager and city TPC representatives to work with LCOG and the MPO to modify the STP-U <br />programming and evaluation criteria in order to enable jurisdictions to facilitate and prioritize the <br />funding of operations, maintenance and preservation of the road system, if they so choose." On October <br />9, 2003, the MPC elected not to amend the previously adopted funding methodology. <br /> <br />The council adopted the Six-Year CIP on February 24, 2003, and the FY04 Annual Budget on June 23, <br />2003. Both documents identify specific transportation projects. <br /> <br />Policy Issues <br />None; this is an informational item only. <br /> <br />Council Goal Action Priority <br />Fair, Stable and Adequate Financial Resources - A local government whose ongoing financial resources <br />are based on a fair and equitable system of taxation and are adequate to maintain and deliver municipal <br />services. <br /> <br /> L:\CMO\2004 Council Agendas\M040609\S040609A. doc <br /> <br /> <br />
