Mr. Gregory indicated projects may include noise abatement; educational forums; environmental projects; or other ideas submitted that adhere to set standards. He stated the committee would prioritize measures that can be immediately implemented or implemented within a short timeframe. b. 2020 Census Partnership Taylor Hoang, Census Bureau Partnership Specialist, explained the importance of an accurate census as the information will directly affect the distribution of Federal dollars to the State for such programs as infrastructure, reduced lunches, senior citizen assistance programs, and health care clinics. Outcomes will also effect the representation at the Federal level (number of seats in the House of Representatives). Due to the additional options for submittal, it is anticipated there will be confusion and the Census Bureau is requesting communities assist their residents. She specifically highlighted the need to reach out to the underrepresented communities including minorities, and senior citizens. Councilmembers thanked Ms. Hoang for her presentation and asked clarifying questions. Councilmember Assefa-Dawson shared the national conversation regarding citizenship has scared many individuals who she believes will not participate, even if the citizenship question is not included. In response, Ms. Hoang understands the citizenship question, as discussed on the national level has impacted the census which is why additional outreach is ongoing. She reminded Council the collected information is confidential and protected ty Title 13; it is not released for 72 years. She also provided examples of actions other cities have taken and would like to see an executive letter from the Mayor and/or Council that provides information and encourage citizens to respond and feel safe in participating. She added there will be local computer labs available at food banks to assist those who do not have access to a computers at home. c. Streets Update Desiree Winkler, Public Works Deputy Director, overviewed the goals for transportation as established in the Federal Way Comprehensive Plan; including a safe transportation system that is fiscally and environmentally sustainable. She stated good pavement condition allows for safe/efficient mobility; lowers maintenance costs; and creates an image of economic vitality. Ms. Winkler indicated pavement infrastructure is the city's largest asset; it would cost $260 million to replace the City's street pavement. She reported the streets are rated on a bi-annual basis and the current Pavement Condition Index (PCI) for the city is 75 which is down ten points overthe past ten years due to lack of funding. She reminded Council the lowerthe PCI, the higher the costs will be to maintain. Mayor Ferrell asked Ms. Winkler to clarify how the proposed ordinance on the agenda is related to this presentation. Ms. Winkler indicated the proposal being considered tonight (Council Bill#763)would be a very reasonable method to provide additional funding to overlay the roads, and maintain the current rating. Deputy Mayor Honda asked if the PCI rating would affect the likelihood of the City receiving grants. Ms. Winkler stated the fact the city rates the streets on a regular basis and has a maintenance plan, even if underfunded, makes the entities more likely to award grants.
