ISSUE
The Measure M Ordinance (Attachment A) requires that every five years, Metro prepares for Board consideration a comprehensive assessment of all projects and programs implemented under the Measure M Expenditure Plan to evaluate the performance of the overall program and make recommendations based on current practices, best practices, and organizational changes to improve performance and coordination.
At 10-year intervals, the Measure M Ordinance additionally requires that Metro assess "Expenditure Plan Major Projects" and "Multi-Year Subregional Programs (MSP)" included in Attachment A to the ordinance that are completed or anticipated to be completed during the next 10-year period, previously labeled "Decennial Process" by Metro staff. Upon adoption of the comprehensive assessment, the Board may consider specific amendments to the Measure M Ordinance and Expenditure Plan including transfers of revenue between transit and highway sub-funds, and the addition of new projects or programs within the prescribed parameters of the ordinance.
As we near the 10-year anniversary of Measure M, staff have begun the process of preparing the required comprehensive assessment (Assessment). The Assessment will encompass the Five-year look back and 10-year look forward to evaluate progress in delivering the voter-approved program while positioning the agency and its partners for the next decade of investment. This board report provides an overview of the Assessment process, content, schedule, and key decision points for the Board.
