| Mr. McKenna reported on the recent meeting of the Regional Transportation Investment District
Executive Board. At the meeting, a formal decision was made to hold off on going to the ballot with a regional transportation package until the spring of 2005. Mr. McKenna indicated there was also a discussion regarding a potential advisory ballot this fall and the Board gave staff direction to analyze the prospect. There is a great deal of other work to be done by the RTID, particularly with regard to the cost estimating process for projects, and the Board gave staff direction to continue to stay involved with the cost estimate review process. Ms. Patterson added that the Board was briefed by an independent firm who reviewed the cost estimates for each of the projects, which indicated that the Washington State Department of Transportation's cost figures for the projects were accurate and the new methods for estimating costs are working. There was also an analysis of the proposed improvements to the overall transportation system that these projects would create. The analysis showed that the RTID projects would reduce delay by 25% and increase travel speeds by 28% across our entire regional transportation system. Ms. Edmonds reported on Watershed Resource Inventory Area 7 - Snohomish Basin Salmon Recovery Forum. The Forum reviewed its plan and had a good discussion about what was going into the plan. It also discussed issues that were not reviewed in the past and the role of regulations in salmon recovery. The consensus of the Forum was that regulations were important. The Forum also discussed its future role. |
