Statement of Issue:
Conduct a public hearing for the purpose of receiving public testimony concerning
adoption of the 2018-2023 Jefferson County Six -Year Transportation Improvement
Program (TIP).
Analysis / Strategic Goals / Pros Et Cons:
RCW 36.81.121 requires the annual adoption of a six-year transportation improvement
program after holding a public hearing. The purpose of the law is to "assure that each
county shall perpetually have available advanced plans looking to the future for not
less than six years as a guide in carrying out a coordinated transportation program"
(RCW 36.81.121(1)).
Fiscal Impact / Cost -Benefit Analysis:
The TIP relies heavily on the availability of outside grant and program funding from
the State and Federal government. Fiscal impact is evaluated through the annual
budgeting process including adoption of an Annual (Road) Construction Program.
Recommendation:
After considering public testimony, approve by Resolution the proposed Six -Year
Transportation Improvement Program. Return a signed copy of the Resolution to
Public Works for further processing.
