Title
RECEIVE AND FILE the Quarterly Status Dashboard of Countywide Planning and Development Strategic Projects and Programs.
Issue
ISSUE
This item provides a snapshot of Countywide Planning and Development (CPD) work program, with the status of key projects and programs that are pending or ongoing before the Board during the next 10 years in a dashboard format (Attachment A). To be provided on an approximately quarterly basis, the Dashboard is a simplified approach to communicating information to enhance transparency and accountability, along with providing a comprehensive context for informed decision-making.
The last quarterly update was presented to the Planning and Programming Committee in September 2019 (Legistar File #2019-0570). At that meeting, the committee directed staff to make changes to the Dashboard, including listing the Pillar Projects first; ordering the projects by completion date rather than next Board action date; and formatting for increased legibility (larger typeface). This update complies with this request.
Background
BACKGROUND
CPD introduced its Fiscal Year (FY) 2018 work program and intent to provide periodic updates at the September 2017 Planning and Programming Committee meeting (Legistar File #2017-0565). As part of that report to the Board, an overview of CPD’s core services was provided.
Discussion
DISCUSSION
The Dashboard summarizes the status of CPD’s key projects and programs that are pending or anticipating action by the Board. These include:
• Pillar Projects, sorted by completion of the environmental clearance phase
• Other Major Capital Projects, categorized by Measure M and non-Measure M projects;
• Joint Development Projects;
• Programs; and
• Strategies and Policies.
Equity Platform
The transparency and accountability inherent to the Dashboard facilitates access to information that supports engagement and decision-making. Access to information promotes access to opportunity, a fundamental principle of the Equity Platform Framework.

IMPLEMENTATION OF STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS
The Dashboard is consistent with Metro Vision 2028 Goal #5: Provide responsive, accountable, and trustworthy governance within the Metro organization. The Dashboard is transparent about CPD’s work programs that are pending before the Board, which promotes accountability and trust in delivering public services.
