Memorandum DATE: July 11, 2016 TO: FROM: RE: City Councilmembers Debbie Tarry, City Manager Scott MacColl, Intergovernmental Relations Manager Dinner meeting with PSRC Executive Director Josh Brown On Monday, July 11 th, the City Council will have the opportunity to meet with Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) Executive Director Josh Brown to discuss PSRC, its structure, membership, mission, and relevant work projects. This will be the first time that Council has met with PSRC so it should be a good discussion. PSRC is the regional Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for central Puget Sound counties (King, Pierce, Snohomish and Kitsap), cities and towns, ports, tribes, transit agencies, and the state to develop policies and make decisions on regional issues. PSRC s mission is to ensure a thriving central Puget Sound now and into the future through planning for regional transportation, growth management and economic development. PSRC provides planning, research and funding to help ensure that the Puget Sound region remains a great place to live. Their primary job is to maintain a regional vision for transportation, economic development and land use planning under limited authorities embodied in state and federal law. PSRC distributes about $220 million a year in federal funding to transportation projects, produces regional data to support planning, and establishes a unified vision for the region and the steps required to succeed. PSRC also employs about 70 planners, data experts and administrative staff to support their work. PSRC is governed by a General Assembly and an Executive Board. Each member of PSRC is a voting member of the General Assembly, which meets at least annually to vote on major decisions, establish the budget, and elect new officers. The Executive Board is chaired by the PSRC President, meets monthly, and serves as the governing board. Both the General Assembly and Executive Board use weighted votes based on population to make decisions. K:\Staff Reports\2016\20160711\Dinner Meeting\20160711 Dinner Meeting Memorandum.docx DM-2
The Transportation Policy Board and Growth Management Policy Board include representatives of PSRC s member jurisdictions, tribes, regional business, labor, civic, and environmental groups, as well as voting members representing each caucus of the state Legislature. These boards make recommendations on key transportation and growth management issues to the Executive Board. PSRC also supports the work of the region s Economic Development Board, governed by a board composed of public and private members that meets bi-monthly to coordinate regional economic development planning. SCA member cities are appointed to seats on those boards through SCA, and as such, represent the SCA position at PSRC. Presently, Mayor Roberts sits as an alternate to the Growth Management Policy Board and Councilmembers Keith Scully and Will Hall are on the Transit Oriented Development Advisory Board (which is a sub-board to the Transportation Policy Board). The Puget Sound Regional Council operates under a two-year (biennial) budget and work program, most recently approved this past April. The agency receives its revenue from federal, state and local sources and member dues. PSRC s planning work includes selecting projects for federal funding, developing regional growth strategies (Vision 2040) and transportation strategies (Transportation 2040) which address anticipated growth and identifies transportation investments needed to keep pace with that growth. PSRC also plans for the region s economic foundation (Economic Development Board), and provides a central resource for data and forecasts needed to inform local and regional planning. These basics regarding PSRC can be found in Attachment A. Shoreline has received significant federal funding through the PSRC grants process for our transportation projects, including the Aurora Project. Recently, Shoreline received PSRC funding for the initial 145 th St Project Route Development Plan ($250,000) and for design of 145 th from Highway 99 to I-5 ($4.3 million). In addition, this past week the King County Project Evaluation Committee (a subcommittee of PSRC s Regional Project Evaluation Committee) recommended funding the I-5/145th Interchange Design Project ($3,892,500) and the 15th Avenue NE Preservation Project Preliminary Engineering and Construction ($587,289) as part of the 2016 King County-wide Grant Program. The final step is for confirmation of the projects to be funded by the PSRC Transportation Policy Board on June 28. 2 DM-3
Attachment A Puget Sound Regional Council PSRC Basics Getting ready for the future The mission of the Puget Sound Regional Council is to ensure a thriving central Puget Sound region through planning for regional transportation, growth management and economic development. Working together At PSRC, central Puget Sound counties (King, Pierce, Snohomish and Kitsap), cities and towns, ports, tribes, transit agencies, and the state work together to develop policies and make decisions about the region s future. Regional decisions informed by solid research and collaboration PSRC works to build a shared vision for the region s future through three connected major activities: VISION 2040, the region s growth strategy; Transportation 2040, the region s long-range transportation plan; and the Regional Economic Strategy, the region s blueprint for long-term prosperity. PSRC Funding: PSRC selects projects to receive federal funding for transportation through a merit-based competition. Nearly $700 million will be available through 2020. Transportation 2040 is the central Puget Sound region s long-range plan for transportation. It identifies the investments needed to keep pace with growth and support an expanding economy.
