WORK SESSION: <br /> Prioritizing and Allocating State and Federal Transportation Funds <br /> <br />City Manager Dennis Taylor introduced the item, reporting that Public Works staff was present to discuss <br />the prioritization and allocation of State and Federal transportation funds. Public Works Director Kurt <br />Corey provided a PowerPoint presentation on the topic, focusing his remarks on State funds allocated <br />through the Oregon Transportation Commission through the State Transportation Improvement Program <br />(STIP) process, and the federal funds allocated by the Metropolitan Policy Committee (MPC) through the <br />Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPa) process. <br /> <br />Mr. Corey briefly noted the sources of revenue for road projects. He described the STIP as Oregon's four- <br />year transportation Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). He reviewed the various bodies and agencies that were <br />involved in the review of the STIP, which at the local level included the Transportation Planning Committee <br />(TPC), a federally mandated staff committee, and the MPC. The local MPa is the body responsible for <br />overseeing regional transportation planning and MPC is responsible for the allocation of Surface Transpor- <br />tation Plan - Urban (STP-U) funds and for providing policy guidance to the MPa. <br /> <br />Mr. Corey briefly noted the planning documents that drove project nominations for funding, including the <br />local CIP, the capital budget, and refinement plans. At the regional level, those documents included <br />TransPlan, the STIP, the MTIP, and the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area General Plan. <br /> <br />Mr. Corey called the council's attention to a flowchart illustrating the STIP review and adoption process. <br /> <br />Mr. Corey reviewed the STP-U process. He briefly noted the make-up of the MPC, which included <br />representation from Eugene, Springfield, Lane County, Coburg, Lane Transit District, and the Willamalane <br />Parks and Recreation District. <br /> <br />Mr. Corey called the council's attention to a spreadsheet entitled STP-U Fund A/location by MPC for Fiscal <br />Years 2004-06, which contained a list of projects by category. <br /> <br />MINUTES--Eugene City Council June 9, 2004 Page 1 <br /> Work Session <br /> <br /> <br />
