the units of general government in King, Kitsap, Pierce, and Snohomish Counties,
1 ORIGINAL
including the counties, representing three-quarters (3/4) of the population. This
Agreement shall remain in f orce and effect perpetually or until terminated by member
agencies which represent seventy-five (75) percent of the regional population.

documents executed, adopted or approved pursuant to this Agreement, the following
terms shall have meaning prescribed to them within this section unless the context of
their use dictates otherwise:
(1) Member agency shall mean any public agency which is a party or becomes a party to
this Interlocal Agreement and is a county, city, town or federally recognized
Indian tribe.
(2) public agency shall mean any city, town, county, public utility district, port

population determined in the same manner for the unincorporated area of such
2
county; and further that the population of Indian tribes shall be the latest
figures established and certified by the Federal Bureau of Indian Affairs.

October 8, 1992
STEERING COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS
(October 5, 1992 meeting)
1. Regional policy emphasis for improved system performance & greater "people"
mobility. Allocate ISTEA funding among the three major functional groups as
follows:
I. Preserve the Existing System: 25%
H. Improve Performance of Existing System: 35%
III. Develop New Capacity for Movement of People & Goods: 40%
Discussed issue of combining categories II&III;recommended maintaining distinctions
thru FY93 evaluation process. GMA & CAA (Clean Air Act) planning requirements
suggest need to monitor difference -- could be folded together later if not found relevant.
2. Regional policy emphasis for project evaluation criteria. Use adopted evaluation
criteria with following weights to be applied in technical review of projects:
CRITERIA PERCENTAGE WEIGHT
A. Support Transportation Enhancement 10%
B. Support Adopted Regional Growth & Transp. Policies 30%
C. Improve Air Quality 10%
D. Minimize Negative & Maximize Positive Environmental,
Energy & Social Impacts = 20%
E. Support Adopted Regional Economic Strategies 10%
F. Support Multi-modal Projects, Intergovernmental
Coordination & Innovative Projects 20%
Total: 100%
3. Modal emphasis supports Vision 2020 policy focus towards more transit &
additional "enhancement" type projects. For FY93, committee recommended:
heaviest emphasis on transit mobility;provide additional funding for"enhancements";
assure continuation of basic level of "preservation" for roads.
TARGET PERCENTAGE FUNDING ALLOCATION IF MIXED ALL SOURCES:
• Enhancements: equivalent of 10% off top from STP & CMAQ funds
• Roads: equivalent of 25% of balance of STP/CMAQ + FTA funds c,
• Transit: equivalent of 75% of balance of STP/CMAQ + FTA funds
Note:Actual programming of projects by source of funds to achieve above split requires shifting fund
sources since FTA funds must go for transit purposes until full compliance with ADA is achieved.
4. Maintain flexibility & opportunity for future new projects: FY93 project review
should control total level of design funds to be approved such that at least 50% of
future years' funding will be available for new ISTEA applications.

Dear Ms. Driscoll:
As you know, effective October 1, 1991, the Puget Sound Regional
Council replaced the Puget Sound Council of Governments. At that
time the records being held by the Central Puget. Sound Economic
Development District, as part of their function as staff to the
Regional Organizing Committee, were turned over to me.
While going through the membership files I discovered that the
signed copy of the Interlocal Agreement for Regional Planning of
the Central Puget Sound Area is missing from your membership file.
The original, signed copy of the Amendment to the Interlocal
Agreement was received and is waiting for the signature of the new
PSRC President, Councilmember Jim Street.
I am enclosing another copy of the Interlocal Agreement. Please
have it signed, or forward the original if it has already been
signed by the Mayor.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to call me at
464-7518. Thank you for your assistance.
Sincerely,
Sylvia H. Nelson
Executive Secretary
